a total of fifty-five (55) projects.
Thirty-five (35) of those projects are identified in the published Vallejo FY 2020-21 CIP Budget book. While at the time the Bond proposal anticipated an issuance of $27M, due to record-setting low interest rates at the time of the bond sale (January 2021), the annual projected debt service funded an issuance of $52M, an addition of $25M dollars earmarked for investment in the drinking water system infrastructure for the long term benefit of system reliability for customers. Specialized design and consultant work is a prerequisite to developing the scope and framework for the resulting construction projects. The Bond Issuance requires a minimum of 80% of bond funds be spent within three (3) years. Current staffing levels in Water Engineering are not sufficient to support this requirement while managing the existing workload.
In order to meet the current and anticipated needs for the Water Department’s Capital Improvement Projects which will be funded through the Bond Issuance, as well as emerging critical maintenance needs, City staff issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) asking that qualified consultants submit a Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) demonstrating their ability to perform the following services as related specifically to the Water industry in the following major categories:
Program/Project Management
Pipeline Design
Pump Station and Tank Studies, Assessments, and Design Water Treatment Plant Studies, Assessments, and Design Earthen Dams and Associated Geotechnical and Structural Engineering Hydrology Evaluations
Water Distribution System Hydraulic Modeling
Electrical Engineering
Water Resources Management
Environmental Permitting, CEQA and Restoration
Construction Management
Telecommunication Services
The RFQ for On-Call Water Engineering Consulting was released on July 12, 2021. Twentythree proposals were submitted by the due date of August 9, 2021. Staff reviewed the SOQs and ranked each firm by scoring them based on the following criteria as listed in the RFQ:
Firm’s relevant experience and familiarity with issues applicable to the City’s needs. (50%) Qualifications of the firm and assigned individuals. (25%) Fee structure and cost-effectiveness of the consultants. (15%) Reference checks. (10%)

REPLACING OUTDATED CITY WATER INFRASTRUCTURE
Due to the extensive responsibilities of the Water Department Engineering team and bond obligations, the firms represented by each of the contracts included with this staff report were selected to best meet those needs. These firms possess various requested areas of expertise as set forth in each contract, have recent experience handling on-call services for municipalities, are available to commence services immediately, and have resources and staffing to complete assignments on a timely basis.
Each of the firms have been notified that they are being recommended for agreements in an amount not to exceed $500,000 annually over the initial four-year term of the contract. The specific scope of services, schedule, and cost of work will be defined on a statement of work basis. The statement of work will be signed by the Water Director and the consulting firm prior to beginning work.
GHD Inc., proposed in the areas of Water Resources Management; Environmental Permitting, CEQA & Restoration; and Construction Management; Pipelines; Pump Stations and Tanks; Water Treatment Plants; and Electrical Engineering and will be awarded both a Design Professional Agreement and a Consultant and Professional Agreement. A Design Professional Agreement is an agreement for consultants to provide the design and specifications required for a capital project. A Consultant and Professional Agreement covers a similar range of consulting services, such as guidance, plan review, feasibility studies, and planning studies.
However, it does not include design criteria.
Staff recommends authorizing the City Manager to execute agreements with GHD, Inc. This action will authorize the City Manager to execute agreements that will establish a pool of professional consultants under contract with the City through June 30, 2026, with an option to extend agreements for one year.
FISCAL IMPACT
This proposed action will not have any direct impact on the General Fund. Funds to pay each firm for asneeded consultant services in an amount not to exceed $500,000 annually over the initial four-year term contract will come from existing (and future) capital improvement project budgets within the Water Enterprise Fund based on allocated bond funding. The contracts also include a potential one-year extension in a not-toexceed amount of $500,000.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it is not a project which has a potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, pursuant to CEQA Guideline section 15378.

The report shall be made in writing and shall include, at a minimum: (a) the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of the persons involved, (b) the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of any known witnesses, (c) the date, time, and description of the accident or other occurrence.

No payments shall be made to Consultant until such business license(s) has been obtained.
11. Standard of Performance. Consultant shall provide products and perform all services required pursuant to this Agreement in accordance with generally accepted professional practices and principles and in a manner consistent with the level of care and skill ordinarily exercised under similar conditions by a member of Consultant’s profession currently practicing in California.

Whenever the scope of work requires or permits review, approval, conditional approval or disapproval by City, it is understood that such review, approval, conditional approval or disapproval is solely for the purposes of administering this Agreement and determining whether the Consultant is entitled to payment for such work, and not be construed as a waiver of any breach or acceptance by the City of any responsibility, professional or otherwise, for the work, and shall not relieve the Consultant of responsibility for complying with the standard of performance or laws, regulations, industry standards, or from liability for damages caused by negligent acts, errors, omissions, noncompliance with industry standards, or the willful misconduct of Consultant.

12. Force Majeure. Neither party shall be considered in default of this Agreement to the extent performances are prevented or delayed by causes or circumstances beyond either party’s reasonable control, such as war, riots, strikes, lockouts, work slowdown or stoppage, acts of God, such as floods or earthquakes, and electrical blackouts or brownouts.

16. Term. The term of this Agreement shall commence on March 8, 2022, and shall continue in full force and effect until June 30, 2026.

The total duration Consultant and Professional Services Agreement (Revised 01.2019) Page 5 of 10 of this Agreement, including the exercise of any options under this section, shall not exceed June 30, 2027.
If the term of this Agreement extends into fiscal years subsequent to that in which it is approved, such continuation of the Agreement is contingent on the appropriation of funds for such purpose by the City Council of the City of Vallejo.
If funds to effect such continued payment are not appropriated, Consultant agrees to terminate any services supplied to City of Vallejo under this Agreement, and relieve City of any further obligation therefore.
17. Termination or Abandonment by City. The City has the right, at any time and in its sole discretion, to immediately terminate or abandon any portion or all of the services to be provided under this Agreement by giving notice to Consultant.
Upon receipt of a notice of termination, Consultant shall perform no further work except as specified in the notice. Before the date of termination, Consultant shall deliver to City all City records and documents, all work product, whether completed or not, as of the date of termination and not otherwise previously delivered.
The City shall pay Consultant for services performed in accordance with this Agreement before the date of termination. If this contract provides for payment of a lump sum for all services or by task and termination occurs before completion of the work or any defined task which according to the performance schedule was commenced before the notice of termination, the fee for services performed shall be based on an amount mutually agreed to by City and Consultant for the portion of work completed in conformance with this Agreement before the date of termination. In addition, the City will reimburse Consultant for authorized expenses incurred and not previously reimbursed.

If subcontracting of work is permitted, Consultant shall pay its subcontractor within ten (10) days of receipt of payment by City for work performed by a subcontractor and billed by the Consultant. Use of the term subcontractor in any other provision of this contract shall not be construed to imply authorization for Consultant to use subcontractors for performance of any service under this Agreement.

Any subcontractor or assignee consented to by City shall be bound by all terms and conditions of this agreement and the same shall be incorporated into and made a part of any assignment or subcontractor agreement.

ACTION ITEM 9.A.
DATE: March 22, 2022
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Melissa Tigbao, Acting Public Works Director
SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE SOLANO COUNTY MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL
HAZARD MITITGATION PLAN
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a resolution adopting the Solano County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION
The Solano County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan includes long-term actions to reduce the loss of life, personal injury, and property damage that may result from a natural disaster. An approved hazard mitigation plan is a required prerequisite for jurisdictions wishing to pursue funding under FEMA’s Hazard Mitigation Assistance Program.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
Hazard mitigation planning is the use of long-term actions to reduce the loss of life, personal injury, and property damage that can result from a natural disaster. Over the past 18 months, Dynamic Planning + Science and Solano County worked in conjunction with participating Solano County jurisdictions and agencies to form a Planning Committee to develop the first Solano County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan (MJHMP).
The MJHMP Planning Committee focused on hazard vulnerabilities and mitigation action priorities for the entire County, including for the individual jurisdictions and agencies within the County. A public commenting period for the MJHMP was held from July 29, 2021 through October 26, 2021 and all comments have been addressed. The Solano County MJHMP consists of two volumes:
Volume 1 (County Hazard Mitigation Plan and Umbrella Plan) – Provides an overview of Solano County Hazard Mitigation Plan, which includes a county-wide in-depth examination and prioritization of each identified hazard (Attachment A.).
Volume 2 (All Annexes) – Includes each participating jurisdiction and agency. These streamlined documents contain mapping, description of vulnerabilities and potential mitigation action for each participating agency, including for the City of Vallejo (Attachment B.).
The Solano County MJHMP has also been reviewed by the California Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). On December 16, 2021, FEMA issued a letter confirming that the Solano County MJHMP is eligible for final approval after it has been adopted by Solano County and all participating jurisdictions (Attachment C). A current and approved hazard mitigation plan is a prerequisite for jurisdictions wishing to pursue funding under FEMA’s Hazard Mitigation Assistance Date: March 22, 2022
Subject: ADOPT A RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE SOLANO COUNTY MULTIJURISDICTIONAL HAZARD MITITGATION PLAN
Program. Therefore, the City Council must officially adopt the Solano County MJHMP by resolution to render the City of Vallejo eligible for FEMA funding. Also, by adopting the Solano County MJHMP the City acknowledges and recognizes its commitment to reducing the impact of natural hazards and it will ensure that the City is in compliance with the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000. The Solano County MJHMP must be updated every five (5) years to remain in compliance with the applicable regulations and Federal mitigation grant conditions.
FISCAL IMPACT
Adopting the Solano County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan will have no financial impact upon the City of Vallejo General Fund.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it is not a project which has a potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, pursuant to CEQA Guideline section 15378.

7.3 What’s New
The City of Vallejo has not had a hazard mitigation plan since participating in the 2006 Association of Bay Area Governments MJHMP. Because the City’s annex to the ABAG Plan is outdated, the Planning Committee elected to not include any of the mitigation actions from the earlier plan in this MJHMP. Starting fresh will ensure that the City’s mitigation strategy addresses its most pressing current vulnerabilities. The City’s efforts to incorporate hazard mitigation into other planning mechanisms are documented in Section 1.5.1, the Capabilities Assessment.

7.4 Risk Assessment
The intent of this section is to profile the City of Vallejo’s hazards and assess the City’s vulnerabilities, distinct from that of the County wide planning area. The hazard profiles in Volume 1 discuss overall impacts to the planning area and describes the hazard problem description, hazard extent, magnitude/severity, previous occurrences of hazard events and the likelihood of future occurrences. For more information on Risk Assessment Methodologies, see Vol. 1 and Appendix A.
Hazard Screening Criteria
Planning Team members from each participating jurisdiction collectively discussed which hazards should be profiled in the Plan and which should not. The results of that discussion can be found in Table 7-2.
Detailed hazard profiles of the most significant County wide hazards are described in Section 4 of Volume 1.
The Planning Team reviewed previously-prepared hazard mitigation plans and other relevant documents to determine the realm of natural hazards that have the potential to affect the City of Vallejo. Table 7-3 provides a crosswalk of hazards identified in Vol. 1 of this plan, the City of Vallejo General Plan, and 2018 California State Hazard Mitigation Plan. The crosswalk was used to develop a preliminary hazards list, providing a framework for the Planning Team members to evaluate which hazards were truly relevant to the City of Vallejo and which ones were not. Section 0 below describes the hazard risk ranking process that was performed by the planning team which prioritized hazards that are specifically relevant to the City of Vallejo.

Hazard Risk Ranking
The City of Vallejo’s Planning Team used the same hazard prioritization process as the Solano County Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee. This process is described in detail in Section 4.3.1 of Vol. 1. Figure 7-2 displays the results of the hazard risk ranking exercise that was performed by the Planning Team. The Planning Team chose to assess the City of Vallejo’s vulnerability to the following hazards:
▪ Wildfire ▪ Drought
▪ Earthquake ▪ Climate Change
▪ Extreme Weather (heavy rain, high wind)
All of these hazards have been profiled in Vol. 1 of this document. The purpose of this annex to specifically address the City of Vallejo’s vulnerability to these specifically-identified hazards.
Vulnerability Assessment
Assessing vulnerabilities exposes the unique characteristics of individual hazards and begins the process of narrowing down which areas within the City of Vallejo are vulnerable to specific hazard events. The vulnerability assessment considered unique local knowledge of hazards and impacts and a GIS overlaying method for examining such vulnerabilities more in depth. Using these methods, participating jurisdictions estimated vulnerable populations, infrastructure, and potential losses from hazards.

7.4.3.1 Risk Assessment
Each participating jurisdiction developed a risk matrix that assessed the probability and impact of various hazards within the jurisdiction. Figure 7-2 is the jurisdiction’s risk assessment, which was completed in part using the web based and interactive Risk Assessment Mapping Platform (RAMP), accessed via the project website at www.mitigatehazards.com. RAMP allows interactive discovery of robust risk, vulnerability, and exposure data developed especially for Solano County. RAMP is a mapping platform built specifically for mitigation planning. It displays County/jurisdiction facilities and buildings overlaid with natural hazards layers to bring interactivity and individual discovery to the GIS analysis performed for the MJHMP. See Vol. 1 for a detailed description of RAMP. The Planning Team used RAMP in meetings and as needed to understand vulnerabilities to the City of Vallejo. Users interactively filter facilities and buildings by natural hazard zones and/or construction characteristics. The City of Vallejo also conducted a more detailed climate vulnerability assessment, included as Appendix A to this annex. The climate vulnerability assessment analyzed climate-related vulnerabilities by considering the impact from the climate vulnerability and the community’s adaptive capacity to respond to the particular vulnerability.
7.4.3.2 Snapshot Exposure Maps & Damage Estimation
The included snapshot maps and damage estimation tables illustrate the City of Vallejo’s vulnerability to specific hazards. Based on the risk assessment, the snapshot maps focus on those hazards prioritized by the jurisdiction. These maps helped the Planning Team understand the exposure of population, parcels, and critical infrastructure to specific hazards. Each map contains an exposure summary that displays the percent of the population, the improvement and content value of parcels, and the amount of critical infrastructure that is exposed to each respective hazard. For flood and earthquake, detailed damage estimations were conducted through FEMA’s Hazus software and are shown in tabular form. Additional mapping is also included. Figures and tables include:

7.4.3.3 Past and Future Development
The City of Vallejo is a charter city that crafts its own laws related to municipal affairs, including future development. If the City has not regulated, or the issue is not municipal in nature, the City is subject to State law. Future development may be subject to compliance with State of California planning, zoning, subdivision, and architecture laws.
The City of Vallejo’s General Plan (GP) establishes long-range development policies. The GP is designed to help the City address issues related to land use, circulation (traffic), housing, open space, conservation, noise, and safety. The Land Use portion of the plan helps guide the City in determining the location of future development(s), including possible future annexation. In addition to the GP, the City has other plans that guide development in specific areas, including specific plans, policy plans, and master plans. These plans help to shape future development and dictate the City’s Sphere of Influence (SOI). One of the central functions in these planning documents is to decrease risk of impact from natural hazards.
Development since Previous HMP
While growth has occurred in hazard areas in the past, increasing hazard risks to some degree, those risks are also decreased by development standards and plan requirements that serve to mitigate or avoid those risks. Development since the last HMP has not increased hazard vulnerability for the City of Vallejo.
Problematic development generally occurred many decades ago; therefore, this HMP Annex has not been revised to reflect any substantial changes in past development and instead focuses on avenues to better mitigate impacts from problematic past development in the 1970’s and earlier.
Future Development
City of Vallejo is required to update building codes to meet the minimum standards to those required in the California Building Code last updated in 2019. California Building Codes provide some of the safest construction standards in the world and are meant to reduce risk to occupants from high wind, seismic activity, landslides, flood, wildfire, and other natural hazards. In addition to California minimum develop standards, all jurisdictions belong to the NFIP, and all development must meet minimum flood protection standards set forth by FEMA. See Section 4.3.5 of Volume 1 for more information about past and future development in Solano County.
As the General Plan is updated and incorporates information from this HMP, City of Vallejo staff are continually improving hazard information through these hazard mitigation plan updates. With this 2020 update, improved online mapping about natural hazards available on RAMP will inform those responsible for future development to make better decisions where and how future development occurs.
City of Vallejo reviewed its general plans under the capability assessments undertaken for this hazard mitigation plan. See Section 7.5.1. Deficiencies revealed by these reviews are identified as mitigation actions to decrease risks to move beyond past trends.
FINAL for adoption
MULTI-JURISDICTION HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN
SOLANO COUNTY
SOLANO COUNTY | MULTI-JURISDICTION HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN 7-22
The City’s municipal codes includes regulations to mitigate the impact of hazards on new and existing development, including:
▪ Drainage and stormwater retention requirements,
▪ Steep slope restrictions for new development,
▪ Waterbody buffer requirements,
▪ Floodplain management regulations,
▪ Zoning that prevents development in hazardous areas of the community such as floodplains, landslide areas, the wildland-urban interface (WUI), or other known hazard areas, and ▪ Building codes that include the most up-to-date California Fire Code, seismic standards, and many other provisions crafted to protect new construction from hazard events.
Even in the event that limited development did occur within a hazard area, the municipal code should ensure impacts from a hazard event are mitigated and losses are minimal. If development does occur in hazard areas, evacuation and emergency planning should take into consideration the anticipated local impacts of the hazard event, including potential interrupted services or the elimination of access.
The anticipated growth in the City will not cause significant change in vulnerability to the City for identified priority hazards.
National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP)
The NFIP makes federally backed flood insurance available to homeowners, renters, and business owners in participating communities. FEMA has prepared a detailed Flood Insurance Study (FIS) for Solano County and municipalities. The study presents water surface elevations for floods of various magnitudes, including the 1-percent annual chance flood and the 0.2-percent annual chance flood (the 500-YR flood). Base flood elevations and the boundaries of the 100- and 500-YR floodplains are shown on Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), which are the principal tools for identifying the extent and location of the flood hazard. FIRMs are the most detailed and consistent data source available, and for many communities they represent the minimum area of oversight under their floodplain management program. See Section 4 of Volume 1 for general information on the NFIP.
The City of Vallejo has participated in the NFIP since 1978. The City of Vallejo is currently in good standing with the provisions of the NFIP. Compliance is monitored by FEMA regional staff and by the California Department of Water Resources under a contract with FEMA. Maintaining compliance under the NFIP is an important component of flood risk reduction. See Table 7-7 for more information on the City’s policies and historic flood insurance claims.

Countywide data reported for entire county area including municipalities.The Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 522a) restricts the release of certain types of data to the public. Flood insurance policy and claims data are included in the list of restricted information. FEMA can only release such data to state and local governments, and only if the data are used for floodplain management, mitigation, or research purposes.
Therefore, this plan does not identify the repetitive loss properties or include claims data for any individual property.
See Volume 1, Section 4.5 for more information on the NFIP
7.4.3.4 Identify Hazard Problem Statements
As part of the mitigation action identification process, the Planning Committee for each jurisdiction identified areas of concern (aka problem statements) for their respective facilities based on the risk assessment and vulnerability analysis, utilizing the RAMP mapping and static snapshot maps. Problem statements focused on the impact, victim, or threat that the hazard could create in the jurisdiction, as described in Figure 7-14. Identifying common issues and weaknesses through these problem statements assisted the Planning Committee in understanding the realm of resources needed for mitigation.
Jurisdiction problem statements are listed in Table 7-8.
The goal is to have at least one mitigation action for every problem statement. Projects or actions have been developed to mitigate each problem identified. See Table 7-13 for a full list of mitigation actions and corresponding problem statements that they address. Each problem statement is coded with a problem number for cross-referencing between Table 7-8 and Table 7-13.

Mitigation Action Support Tool (MAST)
As a living document, hazard problem statements and mitigation activities will be updated through a web interface application developed specifically for participating jurisdictions. The Mitigation Action Support Tool (MAST) is accessible through mitigatehazards.com/SolanoHMP/.
MAST is a web-based interactive tool that enables multiple users to search, view, enter, and update mitigation actions, ideas or projects, and other information. MAST provides participating jurisdictions and plan reviewers (Cal OES/FEMA) access to valuable mitigation information that can be leveraged by future planning or other risk reduction efforts within the County. Participating jurisdictions can update the status of their mitigation projects throughout the planning lifecycle, and this web-based tool will improve participating jurisdiction’s ability to apply for FEMA’s Hazard Mitigation Assistance (HMA) grant programs including initial grant application processes through Cal OES.

7.5 Mitigation Strategy
The mitigation strategy is the guidebook to future hazard mitigation administration, capturing the key outcomes of the MJHMP planning process. The mitigation strategy is intended to reduce vulnerabilities outlined in the previous section (a.k.a. problem statements) with a prescription of policies and physical projects. These mitigation actions should be compatible with existing planning mechanisms and should outline specific roles and resources for implementation success.
Capabilities & Adaptive Capacity Assessment
This section examines the planning and regulatory, administrative, technical, financial, educational, and outreach capabilities to augment known issues and weaknesses from identified natural hazards.
Capabilities assessments in this Volume 1 and in Volume 2 include considerations of a community’s adaptive capacity for climate change, as outlined in Cal OES’ 2020 California Adaptation Planning Guide.
Adaptive capacity is a community or region’s existing ability to moderate climate change impacts.
Assessing adaptive capacity includes analysis of policies, plans, programs, funding, and staffing capacity.
The tables in this section explore various local planning mechanisms, administrative capacity, financial capabilities, and education and outreach initiatives. The columns in each table represent deeper dives into the following questions:
▪ Is the existing planning or regulatory mechanism used currently? (Column 1, Status) ▪ Has the HMP been integrated into the planning mechanism currently so that the named mechanism is currently used in HMP planning? (Column 2, Current Mitigation Use) ▪ Is there a future opportunity to expand, improve upon, and incorporate this 2020 HMP Update into the planning or regulatory mechanism? (Column 3, Future Opportunity) The capabilities assessment is easily-digestible and based on color coding to indicate which policies and plans are adequate, need improvement or in which the HMP could be integrated.

7.5.1.5 Capability and Adaptive Capacity Opportunities
The City of Vallejo identified many opportunities for strengthening community capabilities and adaptive capacity. The City considered this assessment in developing its Mitigation Strategy.
Notably some of the city’s mitigation-related planning documents are quite old and could be updated as a first step to increasing capacity. The City also had good capacity under its current codes, staffing capacity, and education and outreach capacity.
Volume 1, Section 5.3.5 includes an extensive list of federal and state funding opportunities to leverage to improve community capabilities.

Mitigation Actions
Mitigation actions were developed based upon the
jurisdiction’s priorities, risk assessment results, and mitigation alternatives. The mitigation action
prioritization method used by all participating
jurisdictions is described in Section 5.5.1 of Volume 1.
Table 7-13 lists each priority mitigation action,
responsible party, time frame, potential funding source, implementation steps, and resources need to implement
based upon the Planning Committee consensus.
Each participating jurisdiction, including the City of
Vallejo, considered ongoing relevancy of mitigation
actions from the existing MJHMP and retained or
removed such actions while adding new relevant
actions as well. Mitigation actions were examined for
relevancy and the potential for future implementation
and then evaluated for potential follow-up. Some
mitigation actions developed during the previous HMP
effort were not included because they were an inherent
part of the HMP update process or were not detailed
enough for implementation at a local Jurisdiction level. the City of Vallejo has made significant changes to other mitigation actions because of the updated risk
assessment and implementation strategy, to include
more detail, or to update based on current mitigation practices. Volume 1, Section 5.5.2 provides a record of County wide mitigation actions, the status, and additional notes for each action.
Table 7-13 lists each mitigation action for the City of Vallejo. Each participating jurisdiction developed unique mitigation actions, targeted at their own unique priorities and vulnerabilities. Each mitigation action identifies the responsible party, time frame, potential funding source, implementation steps and resources needed to implement these priority mitigation actions. As a living document, hazard problem statements and mitigation activities will be updated through MAST. The detail in Table 7-13 meets the regulatory requirements of FEMA and DMA 2000.

Dear Mr. Ryan:
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has completed its review of the Solano County 2021 Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan and has determined that this plan is eligible for final approval pending its adoption by Solano County and all participating jurisdictions. Please see the enclosed list of approvable pending adoption jurisdictions.
Formal adoption documentation must be submitted to FEMA Region 9 by at least one participating jurisdiction within one calendar year of the date of this letter, or the entire plan must be updated and resubmitted for review. FEMA will approve the plan upon receipt of the documentation of formal adoption.
Once the plan is approved, each participating jurisdiction must adopt the plan within five calendar years of the date of the approval. The adoption of the plan by each jurisdiction ensures that jurisdiction’s continued eligibility for funding under FEMA’s Hazard Mitigation Assistance (HMA) programs. All requests for funding, however, will be evaluated individually according to the specific eligibility, and other requirements of the particular program under which applications are submitted.
If you have any questions regarding the planning or review processes, please contact the FEMA Region 9 Hazard Mitigation Planning Team at [email protected].
Sincerely,
for Alison Kearns

4. Authorizing execution of the Seventh Amendment to the Exclusive Negotiation Agreement (ENA) with The Nimitz Group, LLC for the Property.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION
1. Purchase and Sale of the Property requires that the Property be listed on the City’s Surplus Property List in accordance with California Government Code Section 54220 et seq. (Surplus Lands Act). In accordance with amendments to the Surplus Lands Act approved in 2019 and effective in January of 2020, surplus lands of any city must be declared as Surplus or Exempt Surplus prior to disposition.
2. Approval of the North Mare Island (NMI) Disposition and Development Agreement (DDA) is a discretionary action subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The project was reviewed in compliance with the requirements of CEQA and the CEQA Guidelines and it was determined in accordance with CEQA Sections 21166 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, 15164, and 15168 that an Addendum to the previously certified Final Environmental Impact Statement / Environmental Impact Report (EIS/EIR) for the Disposal and Reuse of Mare Island Naval Shipyard Project (1998) and Addendum (1999), and the Mare Island amended and restated Specific Plan Project Final Subsequent Environmental Impact Report (2005) (Collectively, Previously Certified Environmental Documents as the appropriate environmental document for the North Mare Island Disposition and Development Agreement and Implementation Project and finding that the development-related activities described in the proposed DDA are within the scope of the development program described and evaluated in the Previoisly Certified Environmental Documents.
3. Approval of the North Mare Island (NMI) Disposition and Development Agreement (DDA) for the sale and lease of the Property to the Nimitz Group, LLC (Nimitz) will allow for Development of the Property in accordance with the terms of the DDA. The DDA shifts the City’s ongoing costs of NMI ownership and all pre-development costs to Nimitz, eliminates the City’s ongoing HUD loan payments, and creates the opportunity for both the South Mare Island (South Island) and the Property to be developed under a new, more robust, potential future Specific Plan.

4. Execution of the Seventh Amendment to the Exclusive Negotiation Agreement (ENA) with Nimitz for the Property will provide additional time for Nimitz and the City to finalize and execute the DDA and ancillary documents and to reach close of escrow prior to the end of the year. Given the expiration date of the Sixth Amendment to the DDA of March 31, 2022, it is necessary to extend the ENA to address any delays that may occur with the closing of the land transactions.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
Property Ownership
The City is the fee owner of approximately 125.3 acres on North Mare Island located within Reuse Area 1-A and the lessee of approximately 31.8 acres within Reuse Area 1-A still owned by United States Department of the Navy (Navy Property) and leased to the City per a Lease in Furtherance of Conveyance (LIFOC) dated September 30, 1999.
History and Timeline
In July 1993, the Mare Island Naval Shipyard (Mare Island) was ordered closed pursuant to the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Act of 1990, as amended.
On July 26, 1994, City approved a Final Reuse Plan (“Reuse Plan”) for Mare Island that established goals for the reuse of Mare Island, including the creation of jobs and other economic development opportunities within the City, the creation of a self-sustaining and multi-use community, and the use of a variety of innovative economic development tools for the marketing, financing and acquisition of Mare Island following its closure by the federal government.
In connection with the approval of the Reuse Plan, the City Council on November 17, 1998, certified a final Environmental Impact Statement/Environmental Impact Report (SCH #940930029) (“EIS/EIR”) pursuant to the Date: March 22, 2022

California Environmental Quality Act (California Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.) (“CEQA”) and the federal government, acting by and through the Secretary of the United States Department of the Navy (“Navy”), issued a Record of Decision pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, 42 U.S.C. §§4321 4347 (“NEPA”).
On or about March 30, 1999, the City adopted a Mare Island Specific Plan governing the land use policy and development process for Mare Island.
On September 30, 1999, the City and the Navy entered into the LIFOC, anticipating that following the Navy’s completion of remediation activities and issuance of one or more additional Findings of Suitability for Transfer, the property subject to the LIFOC would be conveyed to the City.
On December 21, 1999, the City entered into an Acquisition Agreement with Lennar Mare Island LLC, (Lennar) to transfer portions of Mare Island to Lennar from the City upon transfer of said property to the City from the United States (Acquisition Agreement). The Acquisition Agreement was amended on September 20, 2000, January 31, 2001, March 23, 2001, May 24, 2001, August 28, 2001, September 30, 2001, November 30, 2001, January 15, 2002, February 26, 2002, and finally in 2004.
On November 29, 2005, in connection with City’s adoption of the Amended and Restated Mare Island Specific Plan, the City certified a final Subsequent Environment Impact Report (SCH #2004092057) (“SEIR”). The SEIR identified and analyzed the significant impacts associated with the incremental change in intensity and distribution of land uses on Mare Island as compared to those described in the prior specific plan as originally adopted in 1999.
On or about December 6, 2005, the City amended the Mare Island Specific Plan by adopting the Amended and Restated Mare Island Specific Plan.
In July 2007, an Addendum to the SEIR was prepared. The 2007 Addendum addressed proposed amendments to policies in the Amended and Restated Mare Island Specific Plan and the Vallejo Municipal Date: March 22, 2022

Code related to historic resources on Mare Island.
The City further amended the Amended and Restated Mare Island Specific Plan in July 2007, June 2008, June 2013, August 2013 and June 2017.
In early 2018, the City of Vallejo issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for the development of the City’s 157-acres on North Mare Island.
On May 15, 2018, Council directed staff to negotiate an Exclusive Right to Negotiate Agreement (ENA)with Nimitz with respect to the 157-acre North Mare Island property.
On July 24, 2018, Council authorized the City Manager to execute the ENA with Nimitz under which the parties would negotiate a proposed DDA providing for the City’s conveyance of North Mare Island to Nimitz for development.
In addition to the North Mare Island negotiations, Nimitz was working with Lennar on a proposed Purchase and Sale Agreement pursuant to which Nimitz would purchase the remaining property owned by Lennar on Mare Island, herein referred to as “South Island.”
On July 31, 2019, Council approved a Consent Agreement for the Transfer of Lennar’s South Island property to Nimitz. Concurrently, the Council approved a Fourth Amended and Restated ENA for North Mare Island which identified the negotiation and execution of an initial ground lease and a Purchase Option Agreement as the goal of the City/Nimitz negotiations.
On October 22, 2019, Council approved an initial Term Sheet for North Mare Island and directed staff and Nimitz to continue to work diligently toward finalizing the agreement.
In November 2019, Nimitz closed escrow for the acquisition of South Island from Lennar and assumed the role of Mare Island Master Developer.

In Early 2020, Nimitz contracted with Southern Land Company (SLC) to act as the lead land manager for Mare Island. SLC determined, based on in-depth analysis of the pre-development costs including the geologic hazards and geotechnical challenges of the North Mare Island property (further discussed, below), that a substantial amount of soil importation would be required to raise the site grades, dramatically increasing NMI development costs and delaying vertical development.
On December 15, 2020, staff presented a Fifth Amended and Restated ENA for North Mare Island which included a new Term Sheet to address the additional soil importation and land preparation costs. Council approved the Fifth Amended and Restated ENA and new Term Sheet and directed staff and Nimitz to continue to work on the drafting of the North Mare Island DDA.
After the execution of the Fifth Amended and Restated ENA for North Mare Island and new Term Sheet, staff began the task of environmental review for the North Mare Island Disposition and Development Agreement and Implementation Project.
On December 14, 2021, Council approved the Sixth Amendment to the ENA which extended the term 90 days through March 31, 2022 to allow additional time needed to finalize negotiations on the remaining DDA terms.
Staff has been working to prepare the DDA and related documents for review and consideration by the Council. At Council’s request, the Draft DDA, North Mare Island Term Sheet Comparison Matrix, FAQs Document and CEQA Addendum were released and posted on the City’s website for public review on February 22, 2022. At the time of this writing, the website has received 312 interactions and 199 subscribers. Additionally, though not legally required, a 10-day meeting notice was mailed to property owners within 500 feet of the project site on March 10, 2022 and published in the Times Herald on March 12, 2022.
State Surplus Lands Act Requirements
In 2019, the Legislature passed AB 1486 (Ting) amending various provisions of the Surplus Land Act (SLA), Date: March 22, 2022

which among other things, requires public agencies to notice and offer surplus public land for affordable housing prior to disposition of such lands for other public purposes. The SLA is monitored by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). HCD has published Surplus Land Act Guidelines to assist public agencies with compliance with the SLA as amended by AB 1486.
The SLA includes an exemption particularly described in Government Code Section 54234(a)(1) that applies to land which is the subject of an exclusive negotiating agreement entered into before September 30, 2019, which provides that such land is not subject to the 2019 amendments to the SLA. More specifically, Government Code section 54234(a)(1) states:
If a local agency, as of September 30, 2019, has entered into an exclusive negotiating agreement or legally binding agreement to dispose of property, the provisions of this article as it existed on December 31, 2019, shall apply, without regard to the changes made to this article by the act adding this section, to the disposition of the property to the party that had entered into such agreement or its successors or assigns, provided the disposition is completed not later than December 31, 2022.
The North Mare Island ENA was entered into prior to September 30, 2019 – thereby complying with the first element of Section 54234(a)(1). The ENA has been sent to HCD as the HCD process requires. The DDA, if approved, contemplates disposition of the North Mare Island Property prior to December 31, 2022. If the City approves the Resolutions before the Council, including Attachment 6, the Resolution Declaring the North Mare Island Property as Exempt Surplus Property, the City will communicate proof of the disposition having occurred prior to December 31, 2022 to HCD.
Term Sheet and DDA Comparison
As noted above, two term sheets have been prepared for the proposed DDA, one in 2019 and one in 2020. As staff moved forward with drafting the DDA and preparing the requisite CEQA review, it became apparent that some of the items contemplated in the Term Sheets needed to be included as potential future items for consideration in connection with the potential approval of the new Specific Plan.

requirements were added to the DDA in an effort to move the development timeline for the Connolly Corridor forward and to capture future potential value of the North Mare Island Property. A comparison matrix of the key agreement terms and the differences between the 2019 and 2020 Term Sheets and the draft DDA is attached hereto as Attachment 3.
The Draft DDA Substantive Provisions
The draft DDA includes many provisions designed to both facilitate the sale of the North Mare Island Property as well as ensure public benefits are actually achieved within a reasonable period of time.
Below is a discussion of some of the key provisions of the draft DDA. In addition, staff has prepared a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) Document to address some of the public questions that have been asked over the last few months, attached hereto as Attachment 4.
With the City Council approval of this DDA, Nimitz/SLC can immediately escalate the specific planning and pre-development work which will enable Nimitz to invest in the property and move forward with site preparation and the future development of North Mare Island.
Key Provisions of DDA
The following is a summary of some of the key provisions of the DDA. A full and complete copy of the Draft DDA and all of its exhibits is included as Attachment 1. A copy of the pages with changes made to the Draft DDA since posting thereof on the City's website on February 22, 2022 is included in redline format as Attachment 11.

and locally owned businesses and enterprises. As part of this compliance, Nimitz is to submit an annual report to the City including data on locally owned business enterprises that have received contracts, the number of local residents hired for development work, and information on anticipated contracting and employment opportunities.
Payment in Lieu of Property Taxes (Section 310 and Exhibit H) Due to the uncertainty as to when market conditions will support vertical development and given the length of time it will take to import fill to raise the elevation of North Mare Island and complete surcharging, the DDA includes an incentive for Nimitz to move forward with development by obligating Nimitz to pay to the City and the Vallejo Unified School District beginning in year 5 and continuing each year thereafter a “payment in lieu of property taxes” (PILOT). This payment would be equal to what the City and the School District would have received if Nimitz had moved forward with at least $26 Million (in 2020/21 dollars) of private development on the portions of Mare Island owned or controlled by Nimitz (including both South and North Island). This payment would end when Nimitz has completed development with an assessed value of at least $26 Million Island-wide (in 2020/21 dollars).
Additional Payments for Added Development beyond Specific Plan Densities (Section 204.3) Additional payments to the City may be required to be made by Nimitz if, following approval, if any, of a New Specific Plan, Nimitz or its successors obtain approval to increase the permitted density of any portion of Mare Island and such increase results in more development than identified in the New Specific Plan as approved by City.
Nimitz will be required to make any such additional payments to the City following a future agreed upon methodology, which methodology will be determined at the time of approval of any proposed New Specific Plan, Backbone Infrastructure Plan and any new, revised, amended or extended Development Agreement relating to any portion of Mare Island. If the parties cannot agree on such methodology at that time, the City in its sole discretion may disapprove any proposed New Specific Plan, Backbone Infrastructure Plan, and any Date: March 22, 2022

Connolly Corridor Development Work (Section 301 and Exhibit C) Nimitz to construct and develop the Connolly Corridor Development site, a major mixed-use commercial development on South Island, within 60 months following initial closing.
Building 571 Remediation Work (Section 210 and Exhibit S) During the performance of due diligence work, Nimitz discovered that during the demolition of Building 571, PCB contaminated debris appears to have been spread over the Building 571 site. The City intends to begin remediation plan work prior to the close of escrow for the initial transfer and to complete the remediation work at City's expense (with the exception of the importation of clean fill). The cost of this work is estimated to be in the range of $400K to $650K. City will retain rights to any sums that may be recovered from persons or entities responsible for the contamination.
CFD Annexation (Section 309)
Nimitz will assume all CFD payments upon the initial transfer, after which Nimitz will cooperate with City to explore the formation of a new island-wide services CFD to replace the existing CFDs. If City moves forward with a new CFD, Nimitz will agree to participate. If no new CFD is formed then, after conveyance of the Navy's ~32 acres to the City, Nimitz will annex the Navy lands into the existing CFDs.
Utility Maintenance and Ownership Responsibilities
Irrevocable Offers to dedicate Roadways (Section 311 and Exhibit N) After the initial transfer, Nimitz will own the roadways within North Mare Island excluding those on the Navyowned land. Roadways located on the Navy-Owned Land will be included in the Sublease between the City Date: March 22, 2022

and Nimitz which addresses the maintenance responsibility on the Navy-Owned Land. The City will have the option, but not the obligation, to accept dedication of the roadways pursuant to Nimit'z irrevocable offer of dedication as shown in Exhibit N to the DDA. Prior to acceptance, if any, Nimitz will be obligated to maintain all roadways in a safe and usable condition and to ensure the Roadways remain open and accessible for use by the general public. Nimitz will also bear all costs and liabilities related to the operation and maintenance of the roadways until the City accepts the offer of dedication or until Nimitz develops North Mare Island, performs the necessary improvements to streets, and the City accepts such improvements and the offer of dedication.
Reimbursement Agreement for Water and Sewer/Storm Infrastructure (Section 318 and Exhibits O and R) The transfer of North Mare Island will initially exclude the water, sewer and storm systems, as the City and Vallejo Flood and Wastewater (VFWD), respectively, must maintain ownership of these systems. However, Nimitz has agreed to reimburse the City for the water operations and maintenance and repair costs and VFWD for sewer and storm system repair and maintenance costs until such time as Nimitz has upgraded and/or replaced the existing systems and the City and VFWD have accepted them.
Sales Tax – Point of Sale (Section 313)
Contractors and subcontractors with contracts valued at $5M or more will designate North Mare Island as the place of use to ensure that the local portion of sales and use tax from the construction and development of North Mare Island will be distributed directly to the City rather than through the County-wide pool which will result in the City receiving a greater share of such taxes.
Limitations on Development under Existing Specific Plan (Section 315) In order to incentivize Nimitz to obtain a new Specific Plan for the Island, the DDA includes the following limitations on development until such new Specific Plan is adopted:

NMI Soil and Site Preparation Costs
As part of its initial overview of North Mare Island, SLC performed a comprehensive review of the suitability of soil conditions and potential risks associated with rising sea levels and other environmental events, including future flooding, inundation, and liquefaction. Based on the soils analysis in the 2018 ENGEO report prepared for City, SLC engaged ENGEO to estimate the cost to prepare the soils for a potential expanded range of land uses. In May 2020, ENGEO provided SLC a Technical Memo updating the soil import costs and detailing the surcharging costs to address sea level rise. As portions of the site are below the 100-year flood zone and below the sea level rise estimates for year 2100, it was concluded that the grades on North Mare Island need to be raised for development to Elevation +16 feet throughout the site to mitigate the risks associated with sea level rise. In order to accomplish this, and stabilize compressible soils, ENGEO reported that approximately 2 million cubic yards of soil would need to be imported. This soil importation, based on the $10 per cubic yard in ENGEO’s original report, is estimated to cost approximately $20 Million. This cost is in addition to the $30 Million of site development costs and $3.3 Million of demolition costs identified in the 2018 draft appraisal prepared for the City which concluded the “As Is” market value of North Mare Island was equal to a negative ($20.9 Million) (Attachment 10).
Next Steps / Anticipated Timeline
The next step in the process is the potential approval of the draft DDA. A Resolution Approving the North Mare Island Disposition and Development Agreement Between the City of Vallejo and The Nimitz Group LLC and Authorizing the City Manager to Execute Same and Any and All Other Documents Necessary to Effectuate the Purchase and Sale of the Property and the execution of the Sub-lease of the Navy Property is included as Attachment 8.
Upon Council approval, City staff will execute the NMI DDA Agreement and Nimitz will commence its 90-day feasibility period. The initial transfer of the City-owned 125 acres is anticipated to occur approximately 120 days following the execution of the DDA, allowing Nimitz and SLC to move forward quickly on the next phase Date: March 22, 2022

The costs the City incurred for outside legal counsel and consulting professionals to assist in the negotiation and drafting of the North Mare Island Disposition and Development Agreement (DDA) and the Exclusive Negotiation Agreement (ENA) have been borne entirely by Nimitz through the City Cost Security Deposit reimbursement requirement in the ENA. Nimitz will continue to cover additional outside legal and consulting costs required to implement the agreements, with no impact to the General Fund.
Upon approval of this DDA, the City’s General Fund will be relieved of the approximately $320,000 annual costs for CFD taxes and the HUD loan, effective upon the first closing which would occur within 120 days following the DDA’s execution.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15312 (Class 12, Surplus Government Property Sales), the Declaration of Exempt Surplus Property is Categorically Exempt from the Provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act.
The Project was reviewed in compliance with the requirements of CEQA and the CEQA Guidelines and it was determined in accordance with CEQA Sections 21166 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, 15164 and 15168 that an addendum to the previously certified Final Environmental Impact Statement / Environmental Impact Report (EIS/EIR) for the Disposal and Reuse of Mare Island Naval Shipyard Project (1998) and Addendum (1999), and the Mare Island amended and restated Specific Plan Project Final Subsequent Environmental Impact Report (2005) (Collectively Previously Certified Environmental Documents) was the appropriate environmental document for the North Mare Island Disposition and Development Agreement and Implementation Project and finds that the development-related activities described in the proposed DDA are within the scope of the development program described and evaluated in the Previously Certified Environmental Documents.
The Addendum (Attachment 5) analyzed the DDA, and the implementation project consistent with the existing Specific Plan and found no additional environmental review was required.

1 DISPOSITION AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
THIS DISPOSITION AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT (this “DDA” or this “Agreement”) dated ______________, 2022 (“Date of Agreement”), is entered into by and between the CITY OF VALLEJO, a California municipal corporation (“City”), and THE NIMITZ GROUP, LLC, a California limited liability company (“Developer”).
R E C I T A L S
The following Recitals are a substantive part of this Disposition and Development Agreement. Capitalized terms not defined in these Recitals are defined in Section 101 below.
A. The Mare Island Naval Shipyard was ordered closed in July 1993 pursuant to the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Act of 1990, as amended.
B. In accordance with procedures established under Federal and State law governing the planning, disposition and reuse of closed military bases, on July 26, 1994, City approved a Final Reuse Plan (“Reuse Plan”) for Mare Island that established goals for the reuse of Mare Island, including the creation of jobs and other economic development opportunities within the City, the creation of a self-sustaining and multi-use community, and the use of a variety of innovative economic development tools for the marketing, financing and acquisition of Mare Island following its closure by the federal government.
C. The Reuse Plan divided Mare Island into thirteen (13) “Reuse Areas” consisting of property owned by the federal government, including an approximately 192 acre Reuse Area
1. Following approval of the Reuse Plan, Reuse Area 1 was divided into two subcomponents: an approximately 155 acre area located north of G Street known as Reuse Area 1A and an approximately 37 acre area located east of Azuar known as Reuse Area 1B.
D. In connection with the approval of the Reuse Plan, the City Council on November 17, 1998, certified a final Environmental Impact Statement/Environmental Impact Report (SCH #940930029) (“EIS/EIR”) pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (California Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.) (“CEQA”), and the federal government, acting by and through the Secretary of the United States Department of the Navy (“Navy”), issued a Record of Decision pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, 42 U.S.C. §§4321 4347 (“NEPA”).
E. On or about January 4, 2001, the Navy approved a Finding of Suitability for Transfer which, among other things, found that certain Mare Island property, including the Property and other portions of Reuse Area 1A, was environmentally suitable for early transfer in accordance with and subject to Section 120(h)(3)(C) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, 42 U.S.C. §9620 et seq. (“CERCLA”).
F. Pursuant to the Finding of Suitability for Transfer, Navy conveyed to City certain Mare Island property described therein, including a portion of the City-Owned Property (described below) and other portions of Reuse Area 1A, by Quitclaim Deed dated September 26, OAK #4843-5079-9573 v18
2 2001, recorded in the Official Records of the County of Solano on October 17, 2001, Series No. 2001 00120695. Following the 2001 conveyance, the Navy issued further Findings of Suitability for Transfer in 2008 and 2011, and, in connection therewith, transferred to City by Quitclaim Deeds dated October 6, 2008 and April 13, 2011, and recorded in the Official Records of the County as Instrument Nos. 2009-00004941 and 2011-00042113, respectively, additional Mare Island property, including the balance of the City-Owned Property. The three Findings of Suitability for Transfer referenced above are referred to herein individually and collectively as the “FOST(s)” and the Navy Quitclaim Deeds are referred to herein individually and collectively as the “Navy Quitclaim Deed(s)”.
G. On or about March 30, 1999, City adopted a Mare Island Specific Plan governing the land use policy and development process for Mare Island. On or about December 6, 2005, City amended the Mare Island Specific Plan by adopting the Amended and Restated Mare Island Specific Plan. The City further amended the Amended and Restated Mare Island Specific Plan in July 2007, June 2008, June 2013, August 2013 and June, 2017. The Amended and Restated Mare Island Specific Plan, as further amended, is hereinafter referred to as the “Existing Specific Plan.”
H. In connection with City’s adoption of the Amended and Restated Mare Island Specific Plan, the City certified a final Subsequent Environment Impact Report on November 29, 2005 (SCH #2004092057) (“SEIR”). The SEIR identified and analyzed the significant impacts associated with the incremental change in intensity and distribution of land uses on Mare Island as compared to those described in the prior specific plan as originally adopted in 1999. In July 2007, an Addendum to the SEIR was prepared. The purpose of the 2007 Addendum was to address proposed amendments to policies in the Amended and Restated Mare Island Specific Plan and the Vallejo Municipal Code related to historic resources on Mare Island.
I. City, as successor in interest to the Navy, is the fee owner of approximately 125.3 acres of Reuse Area 1A (the “City-Owned Property”). The City-Owned Property is more particularly described in Exhibit B-1. An additional approximately 31.8 acre portion of Reuse Area 1A more particularly described in Exhibit B-2 (the “Navy-Owned Property”) is owned by the Navy and leased to the City pursuant to a Lease in Furtherance of Conveyance (“LIFOC”) dated September 30, 1999. City and Navy anticipate that following Navy’s completion of remediation activities and issuance of one or more additional Findings of Suitability for Transfer, the Navy-Owned Property will be conveyed by Navy to City via one or more further quitclaim deeds. As used herein the term “Property” means collectively, the City-Owned Property and the Navy-Owned Property (which collectively comprise approximately 157 acres as depicted in Exhibit A), together with all appurtenances thereto and all improvements located thereon.
J. Developer, as successor to Lennar Mare Island, LLC, is the fee owner of that certain real property located on Mare Island as generally depicted in Exhibit I and more particularly described in Exhibit J attached hereto (“South Mare Island Property”).
K. Most developable real properties on Mare Island, including the City-Owned Property and the South Mare Island Property, are subject to certain Existing CFDs which finance through the levy of Special Taxes the provision of certain public services to Mare Island. The OAK #4843-5079-9573 v18
3 parties desire to work in good faith to explore establishment of one or more new Mare Islandwide community facilities districts (the "New CFD(s)") pursuant to the Mello-Roos Act over all residential and commercial property on Mare Island, including the Property and the South Mare Island Property, which New CFD(s) would replace some or all of the Existing CFDs. As with the Existing CFDs, payment of the costs of CFD Services through the levy of Special Taxes under the New CFD(s) would strengthen the planning process by improving the linkage between development and the financing of essential governmental services; encourage participation by private landowners in the coordinated reuse and redevelopment of Mare Island; reduce economic risk by spreading the costs of needed services over time and among subsequent purchasers; and allow Developer, in exchange for voluntary participation in the New CFD(s), to acquire and coordinate development of the Property with development activities of Affiliates of Developer at the South Mare Island Property. The parties acknowledge that the long-term funding of public services through either the Existing CFDs or, alternatively, the long-term funding of CFD Services through New CFD(s) to replace some or all of the Existing CFDs, is critical to the financial success of the Project and other development projects on Mare Island, including the South Mare Island Property.
L. In July 2018, City and Developer entered into an Exclusive Right to Negotiate Agreement which has been further amended, most recently by a Sixth Amended and Restated Exclusive Negotiating Agreement dated December 14, 2021 (as so amended and restated, the “ERN”), providing, among other things, for City and Developer to negotiate terms for Developer’s (i) acquisition of a fee interest in the City-Owned Property and a sub-leasehold interest in the Navy-Owned Property (with a must take obligation to accept fee title conveyance of the Navy-Owned Property following City’s acquisition thereof from Navy); (ii) demolition of certain Non-Utilized Structures located on the Property; (iii) preparation and implementation of an interim Beautification Plan for the Property and South Mare Island Property, excluding the Connolly Corridor area; (iv) preparation and submittal to City for review and consideration and potential approval a comprehensive new proposed specific plan for the entirety of Mare Island, including those portions owned or controlled by Developer or Affiliates of Developer, including the Property and the South Mare Island properties which Developer or Affiliates of Developer have acquired or are under contract to acquire from Lennar Mare Island, LLC, which plan shall include a plan for phased installation and construction of new Backbone Infrastructure to serve all new development and redevelopment contemplated by such plan (“New Specific Plan”); (v) testing of certain soil previously stockpiled by Lennar Mare Island at six locations (i.e. two within Area 14, two within Area 8, one within Area 18 and one within Area 21) as shown on the draft stockpile site plan prepared by ENGEO dated September 2007, to determine its suitability for use as Clean Fill; (vi) importation of Clean Fill, surcharging and grading to raise the elevation of the Property to mitigate the risks of sea level rise and prepare the Property for development consistent with the New Specific Plan; (vii) construction and installation of the Backbone Infrastructure to serve the development contemplated by the New Specific Plan; and (viii) development of the Property with improvements and uses consistent with the New Specific Plan at such time as market and financing conditions will support such development.
M. The Demolition Work and Connolly Corridor Development Work are within the scope of the development program described and evaluated in the SEIR, as described in the OAK #4843-5079-9573 v18
4 CEQA Addendum to the Mare Island Specific Plan Environmental Impact Report dated ___________, 2021 prepared by Stantec pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15164 and 15168 and considered by the City Council on ______________, 2022 (“SEIR Addendum”). As set forth in this Agreement, City retains full and complete discretion with respect to review and approval of the proposed New Specific Plan and Beautification Plan, the Site Preparation Work, and any further land use approvals or development applications with respect to the Property and/or South Mare Island (collectively, “Future Applications”), including without limitation, to the extent applicable, the discretion to require additional review of any proposed development plan or project under CEQA, the right to impose mitigation measures, and the ability to require modifications to the proposed development plan or project or to disapprove the proposed development plan or project subject to compliance with Applicable Laws.
N. As contemplated by the ERN, City and Developer now desire to enter into this DDA to provide, among other things, for (i) the conveyance of the City-Owned Property to Developer; (ii) sublease of the Navy-Owned Property to Developer on an interim basis until such time as City is ready to acquire a fee interest in the Navy-Owned Property from Navy and immediately thereafter, through back-to-back escrow, convey the Navy-Owned Property to Developer; (iii) Developer’s preparation and submittal to City for consideration and potential approval, and if approved by City, Developer’s subsequent implementation of, a Beautification Plan and a proposed New Specific Plan; (iv) Developer’s performance of certain Demolition Work on the Property and certain Connolly Corridor Development Work on the South Mare Island Property; and (v) following City’s approval of a New Specific Plan and Beautification Plan, and if and only if approval of such plans occurs, Developer’s performance of certain Site Preparation Work and Beautification Work in order to ready the Property for development.
O. City has determined that by entering into this DDA and the Transaction Documents, City will promote orderly growth and quality development on Mare Island in accordance with the goals and policies set forth in the Reuse Plan and the City’s General Plan.
P. The terms and conditions of this DDA have undergone review by City staff and the City Council of the City of Vallejo at publicly-noticed meetings and have been found to be fair, just and reasonable and in conformance with the City’s General Plan, and further, the City Council finds that the economic interests of City’s citizens and the public health, safety and welfare will be best served by entering into this DDA.

103.1 General Prohibition.

Except as otherwise specifically provided in this DDA, prior to City’s issuance of the Certificate of Completion, no voluntary or involuntary successor in interest of Developer shall acquire any ownership interest in the Property nor any rights or powers under this DDA, except for Permitted Transfers or as may otherwise be approved by City in its sole and absolute discretion.
103.2 Permitted Transfers. Notwithstanding any other provision of this DDA to the contrary, City approval of a transfer of the Property (or any portion thereof) or an assignment of this DDA or any interest therein (“Transfer”) shall not be required in connection with any of the transfers listed in items a. through c. below (each, a “Permitted Transfer”):
a.

OAK #4843-5079-9573 v18
18 b. Any assignment for financing purposes that results in a lien on the Property or Developer’s interest therein, including the grant of deeds of trust to secure construction and permanent financing for development of the Property; or c. A transfer which combined with any and all previous or simultaneous transfers represents less than fifty percent (50%) of the membership, equity or beneficial interest of Developer, provided such transfer does not cause a material change in the rights to manage and control Developer.
d. Following City’s approval of a New Specific Plan, Developer shall have the right to transfer individual parcels to one or more vertical developers for development purposes; provided however any proposed transfer that, together with any prior or concurrent transfers, would result in conveyance of more than twenty percent (20%) of the Property to a single transferee (or affiliates of a single transferee) shall be subject to City Council approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and which approval shall be granted provided the proposed transferee meets the criteria set forth in Section 103.3 below.
Developer shall give at least ten (10) business days’ prior written notice to City of any proposed Permitted Transfer. In addition, City shall be entitled to receive and review such documentation as may be reasonably required by the City Manager or his/her designee to assess the nature and scope of any proposed Permitted Transfer, but in all events, such review (i) shall not be deemed to have created any consent rights for City, (ii) shall be completed within ten (10) business days following City’s receipt of the requested information, and (iii) shall be limited to solely whether the transfer and/or transactions(s) in question constitutes a Permitted Transfer under this Agreement.
103.3 Other Transfer or Assignment. For any proposed Transfer that is not a Permitted Transfer under Section 103.2 above, or a partial Transfer which does not require City Council approval under Section 103.2d, Developer shall give notice to City of Developer’s desire to make such Transfer. Developer’s notice shall include information concerning the proposed transferee, including the transferee’s bonding capacity and specific development experience, financial capabilities and knowledge concerning the Property and the required Developer’s Work. City shall have thirty (30) days following receipt of such notice to request additional information regarding the proposed Transfer and the transferee’s experience and financial capacity as is reasonably necessary to evaluate the proposed Transfer and transferee.
City shall have until the later of (30) calendar days after Developer gives its initial notice or twenty (20) days after receipt of all additional requested information, if any, to review and either approve or reject the proposed Transfer and transferee. City’s approval of the proposed Transfer and transferee shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. The parties agree that it shall not be unreasonable for City to disapprove a proposed Transfer and transferee based on: (i) City’s reasonable determination that the proposed transferee has insufficient understanding of one or more components of the required Developer’s Work and Transaction Documents; (ii) transferee having bonding capacity less than that of Developer, and also less than would be reasonably required given the status of the Developer’s Work at such time; and/or (iii) transferee lacking, in the City’s reasonable determination, the development qualifications OAK #4843-5079-9573 v18
19 and experience and financial capacity to reasonably ensure successful completion of one or more components of Developer’s Work followed thereafter by constructing and installing the Backbone Infrastructure and developing the Property with other horizontal and vertical improvements and uses consistent with the New Specific Plan and Applicable Laws. If City rejects the proposed Transfer and transferee, City shall provide written notice of such rejection within the time period set forth above, and in its notice of rejection, City shall detail all reasons supporting rejection of the proposed Transfer and transferee based on the standards set forth in this Section 103.3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the matters set forth in subclauses (i) through (iii) above shall not apply to any Permitted Transfer, including any permitted partial Transfer of 20% or less of the Property to a single vertical developer transferee as contemplated under Section 103.2.d above.
103.4 Written Transfer Agreement. In connection with any Transfer by Developer, including any Permitted Transfer or any partial Transfer as contemplated under Section 103.2d, Developer and the transferee shall enter into a written agreement (“Transfer Agreement”) regarding the respective interests, rights and obligations of Developer and the transferee in and under this DDA and, to the extent applicable, the other Transaction Documents.
The Transfer Agreement shall be in a form reasonably acceptable to the City Attorney. Such Transfer Agreement may (i) release Developer from obligations and liabilities under this DDA that pertain to that portion of the Property being transferred, as described in the Transfer Agreement, provided the transferee expressly assumes all such obligations and liabilities, including all past, present and future obligations and liabilities, (ii) transfer to the transferee all rights and all obligations under this DDA and, to the extent applicable, the other Transaction Documents, to develop that portion of the Property being transferred, and (iii) address such other matters as are reasonably necessary or appropriate in connection with the Transfer. 103.5 Transfer Following Issuance of Certificate of Completion. There shall be no restrictions on or prohibition of Developer’s right to make any transfer of any interest in the Property or any rights or powers under the DDA following issuance of the Certificate of Completion.

Each Closing for City’s Conveyance of Navy-Owned Property to Developer shall occur immediately following City’s acceptance of the Navy-Owned Property, or applicable portion thereof, from Navy through one or more back-to-back escrows. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the City shall give Developer at least thirty (30) days prior written notice with respect to the Conveyance of any Navy-Owned Property.

202.1 Right of Access. From and after the Date of Agreement and thereafter until Closing of the Initial Conveyance has occurred or until the earlier termination of this DDA, Developer, its employees, agents, consultants, lenders, investors, partners, contractors and subcontractors (collectively, “Developer Parties”), shall have the right to enter upon the Property and while thereon make surveys, take measurements, perform test borings or other tests of surface and subsurface conditions, including soils, soil gas and water, make engineering, architectural, environmental and other studies and inspect the Property. Developer agrees to provide notice to the City’s Economic Development Manager and City Clerk at least forty eight (48) hours prior to undertaking any studies or work upon the Property. Developer, at its expense, shall be responsible for obtaining written permission from Navy prior to undertaking any borings, subsurface soil or ground water testing or other invasive investigations on or about the Navy-Owned Property, including any buildings or structures thereon. City agrees to reasonably assist with any such requests for permission. Developer shall provide City with copies of all data, survey and tests which Developer produces in connection with such studies and investigations promptly following receipt thereof. Prior to any entry on the Property by Developer Parties, Developer shall procure and maintain, and cause any other Developer Parties performing work or entering the Property to procure and maintain, commercial general liability, automobile liability and worker’s compensation insurance covering Developer, and naming City and Navy as additional insureds, and otherwise meeting the requirements set forth in Exhibit L.
If Developer exercises its rights of entry under the provisions of this Section 202.1, Developer OAK #4843-5079-9573 v18
21 shall (i) keep the Property free of any liens or third-party claims resulting therefrom; (ii) take all reasonable precautions to prevent the release of any Hazardous Materials into the environment; (iii) indemnify and defend City and Navy against any liability or expense for injuries to or death of persons or damage to property of any nature whatsoever to the extent arising out of or resulting from Developer’s exercise of its rights hereunder; provided that Developer shall have no obligation to indemnify or defend City against any Claims arising from the active negligence or willful misconduct of City or City Parties and, except to the extent Developer’s investigative activities result in a further release of Hazardous Materials onto or about the Property, Developer shall have no responsibility or liability for any Hazardous Materials within, on, above, under, or emanating from the Property which were present before Developer Parties’ entry on the Property; and (iv) if the Closing does not occur for any reason (other than a default by City), restore as nearly as practicable any portion of the Property damaged by such entry substantially to its condition immediately before such entry. The indemnification provisions of this Section shall survive the expiration or termination of this DDA. In addition, if this DDA is terminated for any reason, including a Default by either party or failure of a condition for the benefit of a party, Developer shall promptly repair and/or remedy any damage to any portion of the Property or improvements thereon resulting from such studies and investigations and restore the Property and improvements thereon as nearly as possible to the physical condition existing immediately prior to such damage. Developer’s indemnity and repair/restoration obligations under this Section 202.1 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement. 202.2 Availability of Documents. Developer acknowledges that Navy and DTSC maintain a comprehensive set of data and documents with respect to the Property and the current and former buildings, improvements and facilities on, under and about such Property, which include, among other things, information about the historic uses of such Property and the numerous tests, studies, surveys and plans prepared or performed by or on behalf of Navy related to presence and/or remediation (completed as well as ongoing) of Hazardous Materials.
Developer further acknowledges that City has advised Developer to inspect fully all portions of the Property and investigate all matters relevant thereto and to rely solely upon the results of Developer’s own inspections, which may include inspection of information obtained or otherwise available from the Navy, DTSC EnviroStor (https://dtsc.ca.gov/your-envirostor/) and the RWQCB, rather than any information that may have been provided by City to Developer or information or documents that may be in City files; provided the foregoing shall not be construed as permitting the City to knowingly withhold any such information or documents from Developer.
202.3 Feasibility Approval. If Developer elects to proceed with the purchase of the entirety of the Property after conducting such investigations, then as soon as practicable following completion of such investigations, but in any event no later than expiration of the Feasibility Period, Developer may, in its sole discretion, deliver a written notice of approval (“Notice of Approval”) to City and Escrow Agent. Developer’s failure to give the Notice of Approval prior to 5:00 p.m. Pacific time on the date of the expiration of the Feasibility Period shall not be a Default under this DDA, but will be deemed Developer’s disapproval of the condition of the Property and election not to proceed with the purchase of any portion of the Property and shall serve to terminate this DDA effective as of the expiration of the Feasibility OAK #4843-5079-9573 v18
22 Period. If Developer disapproves or is deemed to have disapproved the condition of the Property, neither party hereto shall have any further obligation or liability to the other with respect to the transactions contemplated by this DDA, except for any obligations or liabilities which expressly survive termination. If Developer gives its Notice of Approval, then this DDA shall continue in effect and the rights and obligations of the parties shall continue to be governed by this DDA. Once Developer has proceeded with Closing with respect to the Initial Conveyance, Developer may not revoke or modify the Notice of Approval with respect to subsequent Conveyances of the Navy-Owned Property following the Initial Conveyance, but such subsequent Conveyances shall nevertheless remain subject to the satisfaction or waiver (by Developer in its reasonable discretion) of all applicable Developer Conditions Precedent with respect thereto.
203. Escrow. Within the time set forth in the Schedule of Performance, Developer shall open an escrow (“Escrow”) for the Conveyances with Melodie Rochelle, Escrow Officer at Fidelity National Title Insurance Company, 2701 Emerywood Parkway, Suite 200, Richmond VA 23294, VA 23294, Telephone: (804) 521-5713, Email: [email protected], or another escrow company mutually acceptable to City and Developer (“Title Company” or “Escrow Agent”).
203.1 Escrow Costs. Any and all fees, charges, and costs for the Escrow, including recording fees, document fees and documentary transfer taxes, if any, related to each Conveyance, shall be paid by Developer.
203.2 Escrow Instructions. This DDA constitutes the joint escrow instructions of Developer and City with respect to the Conveyances, and the Escrow Agent to whom these instructions are delivered is hereby empowered to act under this DDA. The parties shall use reasonable good faith efforts to close each Conveyance in the shortest possible time, subject to the terms of this DDA. Insurance policies insuring the Property, or applicable portion thereof, for fire or casualty are not to be transferred, and City shall cancel its own policies, if any, after each Closing. All funds received in the Escrow shall be deposited in one or more federallyinsured interest-bearing accounts with a state or national bank doing business in the State of California, in interest bearing accounts to the extent elected by the benefitted party. All disbursements shall be made by check or wire transfer from such account. If, in the reasonable opinion of either party, it is necessary or convenient in order to accomplish the Closings, such party may require that the parties sign supplemental escrow instructions; provided that if there is any inconsistency between this DDA and the supplemental escrow instructions, then the provisions of this DDA shall control. Escrow Agent is instructed to release City’s and Developer’s supplemental escrow instructions, if any, and Closing statements to both parties. 203.3 Authority of Escrow Agent. With respect to each Closing, Escrow Agent is authorized to, and shall:
a. Pay and charge Developer for the premium of the Developer Title Policy and pay and charge Developer for the premium of the Survey and/or additional endorsements requested by Developer.

If Developer so elects to terminate this DDA, Escrow Agent shall immediately disburse the Deposit to City. The failure of Developer to give Developer’s Response to City shall be deemed Developer’s election to terminate this Agreement. City, at Developer’s cost and expense, shall cause any disapproved title matters that City has not objected to in City’s Response, if any, to be removed from title prior to Closing.

209. Property Taxes and Assessments. All ad valorem taxes and assessments, including Existing CFD Special Taxes, levied, assessed or imposed on the Property or part thereof for any period prior to Closing of the Initial Conveyance shall be borne by City.

210. Environmental Matters.
210.1 Building 571 Remediation Agreement. As set forth in the Building 571 Remediation Agreement, Developer, during performance of its due diligence work has identified OAK #4843-5079-9573 v18
29 the presence of PCB contaminated soils near the surface of the site of the former Building 571.
City believes that the existence of such contamination within upper most soil levels of the Building 571 site was the result of demolition of former Building 571 and distribution of debris from that activity (“PCB Contaminated Debris”) across the surface of the former Building 571 site. City has notified the City contractors and subcontractors responsible for performance of Building 571 demolition work, including pre-demolition building inspection, of the issue. City shall retain all rights and remedies City has or may have against such contractors and subcontractors, including the right to recover damages from and against such contractors and subcontractors, and Developer shall have no right to share in any damage awards or settlements that City may receive in connection with City’s pursuit of claims against such contractors and subcontractors, if any. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent City’s contractor (and Developer’s contractor in the case of importation of Clean Fill to replace removed soil) has not completed the work of remediating and removing the PCB Contaminated Debris at the former Building 571 site (“Building 571 Remediation Work”) in accordance with a work plan approved by DTSC (or other applicable regulatory agency) prior to the Closing of the Initial Conveyance, City and Developer shall enter into a Building 571 Remediation Agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit S which, among other things, will commit City, at its expense (except to the extent City recovers all or a portion of the costs from the contractors and subcontractors noted above), to complete the Building 571 Remediation Work (other than importation of Clean Fill to replace removed soil, which fill importation shall be performed by Developer at its expense), in accordance with the DTSC-approved work plan, all as more particularly set forth in the Building 571 Remediation Agreement. Except as expressly set forth in this Section 210.1 and the Building 571 Remediation Agreement, from and after the Closing, City shall have no obligations with respect to Hazardous Materials that may be located on, under or about the Property.
210.2 No Warranties as to Property. Developer is purchasing the Property on the basis of Developer’s own investigation of the physical and environmental conditions of the Property and the buildings, improvements and facilities thereon, including subsurface facilities and ground water and soils conditions. Subject to any Navy obligations under the Navy Deed Covenants, Developer assumes the risk that adverse physical and environmental conditions may not have been revealed by its own investigation, and each portion of the Property, including the buildings, improvements and facilities thereon shall be conveyed by City to Developer in its “AS-IS” condition, “WITH ALL FAULTS,” including the presence of Hazardous Materials (whether or not revealed by Developer’s due diligence investigations) and any violations of Applicable Laws, including Environmental Laws, with no warranty expressed or implied by City regarding the presence of Hazardous Materials or the condition of the soil, its geology, the presence of known or unknown seismic faults, title to the Property or the suitability of the Property, or the buildings, improvements or facilities thereon for Developer’s intended development.
210.3 Waiver and Release. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in Section 210.1 above and in the Building 571 Remediation Agreement, effective as of each Closing Date, Developer hereby waives, releases and discharges forever City Parties from any and all present and future Claims arising out of or in any way connected with the condition of the Property or OAK #4843-5079-9573 v18
30 applicable portion thereof, any Hazardous Materials on, under or about the Property or applicable portion thereof however they came to be placed there, or the release of Hazardous Materials from the Property or applicable portion thereof. Developer is aware of and familiar with the provisions of California Civil Code section 1542, which provides as follows:
“A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE
CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO
EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE
RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE
MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE
DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY.”
As such relates to this Section 3, Developer hereby waives and relinquishes all rights and benefits that it may have under California Civil Code section 1542. 210.4 Obligations with Respect to Hazardous Materials after Closing.
Developer acknowledges and agrees that additional Hazardous Materials remediation work beyond that performed by or on behalf of the Navy (or by or on behalf of City in the case of the Building 571 Remediation Work) , including abatement and removal of asbestos, lead paint and PCB’s located on and within buildings and related improvements, remediation of the cistern/vault discovered within Building 641, and remediation of potential PCB contamination that may have resulted from any cause, including City’s prior demolition of PCB-contaminated pad(s) or other contaminated structures or foundations located on or about the Property (other than the Building 571 pad), may have to be performed in order to develop the Property.
Developer, at its expense, shall be responsible for all environmental remediation and response actions that are not the responsibility of the Navy under the Navy Deed Covenants or City under the Building 571 Remediation Agreement. Before undertaking any Site Preparation Work or other horizontal or vertical development work on or about the Property, Developer shall, at its sole cost and expense, promptly take all actions required by Environmental Laws and otherwise under this DDA. Except to the extent of Navy’s responsibilities under the Navy Deed Covenants and City’s limited obligations under the Building 571 Remediation Agreement, Developer, at its expense, shall take all actions necessary to promptly restore the Property to an environmentally sound condition for the uses contemplated by the New Specific Plan or, if the proposed New Specific Plan is not approved by City, the Existing Specific Plan. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in Section 210.1 above and in the Remediation Agreement, it is expressly understood and agreed the City shall have no obligation whatsoever with respect to any Hazardous Materials that may be located on, under or about the Property, including any buildings or structures thereon, regardless of whether the existence of such Hazardous Materials is discovered before or after Closing. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve Navy of its obligations under the Navy Deed Covenants. Developer’s and City’s obligations under this Section 210, including subsections 210.1 through 210.7 shall survive the Closing and expiration or termination of this DDA.
210.5 Duty to Prevent Further Hazardous Materials Contamination. Both before and after each Closing, Developer shall take all necessary precautions to prevent the OAK #4843-5079-9573 v18
31 release of any Hazardous Materials into the environment. Such precautions shall include compliance with all Environmental Laws. In addition, Developer shall install and utilize such equipment and implement and adhere to such procedures as are consistent with Environmental Laws as to disclosure, storage, use, removal and/or disposal of Hazardous Materials. 210.6 Environmental Inquiries. Both before and after each Closing, Developer shall notify City, and provide to City a copy or copies, of any and all environmental permits, disclosures, applications, entitlements, or inquiries relating to the Property or applicable portion thereof, including notices of violation, notices to comply, citations, inquiries, clean up or abatement orders, cease and desist orders, reports filed pursuant to self-reporting requirements and reports filed or applications made pursuant to any Environmental Laws. 210.7 Notice of Hazardous Materials Release. In the event of a release of any Hazardous Materials onto or from the Property or any portion thereof, Developer shall, as soon as possible after the release, furnish to City a copy of any and all reports relating thereto and copies of all correspondence with regulatory agencies relating to the release. Developer shall immediately furnish to City a copy or copies of any and all other environmental entitlements or inquiries relating to or affecting the Property or any portion thereof, including all permit applications, permits, and reports, including those reports and other matters which may be characterized as confidential.

In proposing a particular plan to City, Developer shall demonstrate to the satisfaction of City Manager and City Attorney, or their designee (in their reasonable discretion) that funding of such on-going services costs is assured. The property owner association(s) (and not City) shall be solely responsible for bearing all costs in connection with the provision of such services. City shall be named as an express third party beneficiary under all owner association documents with the right to independently enforce such associations' obligation to pay all costs of such services.
The form of Developer's owner association documents, including conditions, covenants and restrictions, shall be subject to review and approval by the City Manager and City Attorney. 309.10 Survival of Obligations.

Upon the occurrence of a Default by Developer which is not related to a Closing Failure as provided in Section 803 below, City shall have the right, in addition to any other rights or remedies, to institute any action at law or in equity to cure, correct, prevent or remedy such Default, including the recovery of actual damages; provided, however, that in no event shall City’s pre-Closing remedies include specific performance of Developer’s obligation to close escrow on the Property. Developer’s remedies in the event of a Default by City shall be limited to obtaining specific performance or injunctive relief, or terminating this Agreement and receiving a refund of the Deposit. Such legal actions must be instituted in the Superior Court of the County of Solano, State of California, or in the Federal District Court for the Northern District of the State of California. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither party shall have the right to recover any consequential, special or punitive damages in the event of a Default by the other party. 803. Liquidated Damages in the Event of a Closing Failure. IF, FOR ANY
REASON OTHER THAN A DEFAULT BY CITY OR A FAILURE OF ANY
DEVELOPER CONDITIONS PRECEDENT, DEVELOPER FAILS TO CLOSE
ESCROW FOR THE INITIAL CONVEYANCE BY THE OUTSIDE DATE FOR
INITIAL CONVEYANCE (AS SUCH DATE MAY BE EXTENDED DUE TO FORCE MAJEURE CONDITIONS) (“CLOSING FAILURE”), THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE
AND AGREE THAT CITY WILL SUFFER DAMAGES, INCLUDING COSTS OF
COOPERATING IN SATISFYING CONDITIONS TO CLOSING, COSTS OF SEEKING
ANOTHER DEVELOPER FOR THE PROPERTY, OPPORTUNITY COSTS IN
KEEPING THE PROPERTY OUT OF THE MARKETPLACE, AND OTHER COSTS
INCURRED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, AND THAT IT IS IMPRACTICABLE AND INFEASIBLE TO FIX THE ACTUAL AMOUNT OF SUCH DAMAGES.
THEREFORE, CONSIDERING ALL THE CIRCUMSTANCES EXISTING ON THE
DATE OF AGREEMENT, IN THE EVENT OF A CLOSING FAILURE, CITY SHALL
RETAIN THE DEPOSIT AND SUCH AMOUNT SHALL SERVE AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES TO CITY FOR SUCH CLOSING FAILURE. RETENTION OF THE DEPOSIT SHALL BE THE CITY’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AGAINST
DEVELOPER IN THE EVENT OF A CLOSING FAILURE, AND CITY WAIVES ANY
AND ALL RIGHT TO SEEK OTHER RIGHTS OR REMEDIES AGAINST
DEVELOPER, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, ALL OF DEVELOPER’S OBLIGATIONS TO INDEMNIFY
CITY AS PROVIDED HEREIN THAT, BY THEIR TERMS, EXPRESSLY SURVIVE
THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT, SHALL BE SEPARATE,
OAK #4843-5079-9573 v18
46 ADDITIONAL, AND INDEPENDENT OBLIGATIONS OF DEVELOPER SURVIVING THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.
803.1 Statutory Acknowledgments Regarding Liquidated Damages Remedies. THE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES PROVIDED FOR IN THIS SECTION 803 ARE
NOT INTENDED AS A FORFEITURE OR PENALTY WITHIN THE MEANING OF SECTIONS 3275 OR 3369 OF THE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE, BUT ARE INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES TO CITY PURSUANT TO SECTIONS 1671, 1676 AND 1677 OF THE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE. BY PLACING THEIR INITIALS BELOW,
DEVELOPER AND CITY SPECIFICALLY CONFIRM THE ACCURACY OF THE
STATEMENTS MADE ABOVE, THE REASONABLENESS OF THE AMOUNT OF
LIQUIDATED DAMAGES AGREED UPON, AND THE FACT THAT EACH PARTY WAS
REPRESENTED BY COUNSEL WHO EXPLAINED, AT THE TIME THIS AGREEMENT WAS MADE, THE CONSEQUENCES OF THIS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES PROVISION.

CITY DEVELOPER
804. Acceptance of Service of Process. In the event that any legal action is commenced by Developer against City, service of process on City shall be made by personal service upon the City Clerk of City or in such other manner as may be provided by law. In the event that any legal action is commenced by City against Developer, service of process on Developer shall be made by personal service upon Developer’s registered agent for service of process in California, or in such other manner as may be provided by law. 805. Termination. In addition to the automatic termination provided for under Sections 202.3 and 208.2 above, this Agreement may be terminated if there is an uncured Default, after notice from the party not in default and expiration of all cure periods. 806. Additional City Remedy Following Conveyance - Option to Repurchase, Reenter and Repossess.
806.1 City Option. Subject to the terms of this Section 806, City shall have the right at its option to repurchase, reenter and take possession of the Property (with all improvements thereon) (“City Option”), if after Closing of the Initial Conveyance and prior to issuance of a Certificate of Completion, Developer:
a. Transfers, or suffers any involuntary transfer of the Property or any part thereof in violation of this DDA; or
b. Is in Default under this DDA; or
c. Is in default under one or more of the Transaction Documents after notice and expiration of applicable cure periods.
OAK #4843-5079-9573 v18
47 806.2 Protection of Permitted Mortgagees. The City Option shall be subordinate and subject to and be limited by and shall not defeat, render invalid or limit: (a) any mortgage, deed of trust or other security instrument permitted by this DDA; or (b) any rights or interests provided in this DDA for the protection of the holder of such mortgages, deeds of trust or other security instruments.
806.3 Exercise of City Option.
a. To exercise the City Option, City shall provide Developer written notice of City’s intent (“Notice of Intent”) to exercise its option to repurchase the Property or portion thereof previously conveyed to Developer following the occurrence of any of the events set forth in Section 806.1. Subject to the procedures, terms and conditions set forth in this Section 806.3, City shall pay to Developer in immediately available funds an amount equal to:
(a) the $3,000,000 Purchase Price paid by Developer (or a prorated portion of such amount, prorated on a per acre basis, if less than the entirety of the Property is included in City’s Notice of Intent); provided, however, if Developer is in Default for failure to accept conveyance of all or a portion of the Navy-Owned Property pursuant to the “must take” provisions of Section 201 above, then no portion of the Purchase Price shall be included in the calculation of City’s payment), plus (b) the verified, out-of-pocket, hard costs actually incurred by Developer and paid to unaffiliated third-parties for labor and materials solely for Demolition Work, Site Preparation Work and construction of permitted improvements, if any, on the Property, or applicable portion thereof, existing at the time City exercises the option to purchase (exclusive of amounts financed, if any, to the extent such financing obligations are assumed by City), not to exceed a maximum of $10,000,000.00 (“Project Hard Costs”); and less (c) the amount of unpaid liens on the Property or such portion thereof which City agrees to pay, and any unpaid current or past-due installments of taxes or assessments against the Property or such portion thereof which City agrees to pay. Project Hard Costs shall not include any Planning Work costs or other soft costs incurred in connection with the planning, entitlement or development of the Property. b. Developer shall, within thirty (30) days after receipt of City’s Notice of Intent, provide to City for review and approval, a summary of all of Developer’s Project Hard Costs as provided in Section 806.3a above. In the event the parties are unable to agree upon the Project Hard Costs, the matter shall be resolved by binding arbitration under the procedures attached hereto as Exhibit P. Within thirty (30) days after determination of the Project Hard Costs, City shall open an escrow for Developer’s conveyance back to City, or its designee, of the Property or portion thereof previously conveyed to Developer. The escrow for Developer’s conveyance of the Property or applicable portion thereof back to City shall close on a date specified by City which shall be not less than thirty (30) days, nor more than 24 months, following the determination of Project Hard Costs as provided above. At closing City (or its designee) shall pay to Developer through the escrow all sums owing pursuant to this Section 806, and Developer shall execute and deliver to City (or its designee) through the escrow a form title company quitclaim deed transferring to City (or its designee) all of Developer’s right, title and interest in and to said Property or portion thereof previously conveyed to Developer and any improvements thereon.
OAK #4843-5079-9573 v18
48 c. City may transfer the City Option to any person or entity that City so designates.
d. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, the City Option shall expire upon City’s issuance of the Certificate of Completion. 807. Rights and Remedies Are Cumulative. The rights and remedies of the parties are cumulative, and the exercise by either party of one or more of such rights or remedies shall not preclude the exercise by it, at the same or different times, of any other rights or remedies for the same default or any other default by the other party, except as otherwise expressly provided herein.
808. No Waiver. Any failures or delays by either party in asserting any of its rights and remedies as to any Default shall not operate as a waiver of any Default or of any such rights or remedies, or deprive either such party of its right to institute and maintain any actions or proceedings which it may deem necessary to protect, assert or enforce any such rights or remedies.
900. DEVELOPER FINANCING; MORTGAGEE PROTECTION.
901. Generally. Prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Completion, Developer shall not place or allow to be placed on the Property any mortgage, trust deed, encumbrance or lien except as expressly authorized by this DDA. Developer shall remove or have removed any levy or attachment made on the Property (or any portion thereof), or shall assure the satisfaction thereof, within a reasonable time, but in any event not more than sixty (60) days after filing of such levy or attachment. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to prohibit Developer from contesting the validity or amounts of any tax, assessment, encumbrance or lien, nor to limit the remedies available to Developer with respect thereto.
902. Right of City to Satisfy Other Liens After Closing. Prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Completion, and after Developer has had written notice and has failed after a reasonable time, but in any event not more than sixty (60) days after receipt of written notice, to satisfy or release any liens or stop notices on the Property pursuant to this Section 902, City shall have the right, but not the obligation, to satisfy any such liens or stop notices with written notice to Developer, but only to the extent that at such time there does not exist a bona-fide dispute with respect to such matters. Developer shall reimburse City for any and all actual and reasonable costs associated with removal or payment of such lien or stop notice within ten (10) business days following Developer’s receipt of City’s written demand therefor (which shall include copies of all cost verification documents).
903. Mortgage, Deed of Trust, Sale and Lease-Back Financing. 903.1 Mortgages and Deeds of Trust for Development. Mortgages and deeds of trust shall be permitted liens on the Property following each Conveyance, including without limitation instruments given to secure any financing relating to the Developer’s Work and any other development, construction, and/or improvement of the Property or any part thereof.
OAK #4843-5079-9573 v18
49 903.2 Holder Not Obligated to Construct Improvements. The holder of any mortgage or deed of trust shall not be obligated by the provisions of this DDA to perform any of Developer’s Work or to guarantee such work. Nothing in this DDA shall be deemed to or be construed to permit or authorize any such holder to devote the Property to any uses or to construct any improvements thereon or therein other than those uses permitted by this Agreement and provided for and specified in the New Specific Plan or, if City Council opts not to approve the proposed New Specific Plan, the Existing Specific Plan. 903.3 Notice of Default to Mortgagee or Deed of Trust Holders; Right to Cure. With respect to any mortgage or deed of trust granted by Developer as provided herein, whenever City shall deliver any notice to Developer with respect to any potential Default by Developer hereunder, City shall at the same time deliver a copy of such notice to each holder of record of any mortgage or deed of trust on the Property. No notice of Default shall be effective as to the holder unless such notice is given. Each such holder shall (insofar as the rights of City are concerned) have the right, at its option, within ninety (90) days after the receipt of the copy of the notice, to cure or remedy or commence to cure or remedy any such Default. In the event possession of the Property (or portion thereof) is required to effectuate such cure or remedy, the holder shall be deemed to have timely cured or remedied if it commences the proceedings necessary to obtain possession thereof within ninety (90) days after receipt of the copy of the notice, diligently pursues such proceedings to completion, and, after obtaining possession, diligently completes such cure or remedy.
903.4 Right of City to Cure Mortgage or Deed of Trust Default. If, prior to Developer’s completion of Developer’s Work, a mortgage or deed of trust default or breach by Developer occurs, and the holder of any mortgage or deed of trust has not exercised its option to cure the default, then so long as there does not at such time exist any bona-fide dispute between Developer and its lender(s), the City, at its option, may cure the default following at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice thereof to Developer. In the event City is allowed to, and properly opts to cure such Developer mortgage or deed of trust default in accordance with the requirements above, Developer shall be liable for, and City shall be entitled to reimbursement from Developer of, all actual and reasonable costs and expenses incurred by City associated with and attributable to the curing of the mortgage or deed of trust default or breach. City shall also be entitled to record a lien against the Property to the extent of such incurred costs and disbursements. Any such lien shall be subject and subordinate to all prior encumbrances and deeds of trust.
904. Estoppel Certificates. Developer or its lender(s) (if any) may, at any time, and from time to time, deliver written notice to City requesting City to certify in writing that: (a) this DDA is in full force and effect; (b) this DDA has not been amended or modified or, if so amended or modified, identifying the amendments or modifications; (c) neither Developer nor City is in breach or Default of the performance of its obligations, or if in breach or Default, to describe therein the nature and extent of any such breaches or Defaults; and (d) such other items as may be reasonably requested by Developer or its lender(s). To the extent not already paid for as part of City Costs Developer shall pay, within thirty (30) days following receipt of City’s invoice, the actual and reasonable costs borne by City in connection with its review of the OAK #4843-5079-9573 v18
50 proposed estoppel certificate, including the costs expended by the City Attorney’s office and Planning and Development Services Department in connection therewith. The Planning and Development Services Director shall be authorized to execute any estoppel certificate requested by Developer hereunder. The form of estoppel certificate shall be in a form reasonably acceptable to the City Attorney. The Planning and Development Services Director shall execute and return such certificate within twenty (20) days following Developer’s request therefor.
Developer and City acknowledge that an estoppel certificate hereunder may be relied upon by tenants, transferees, investors, partners, lenders, and mortgagees. The request shall clearly indicate that failure of City to respond within the twenty (20) day period will lead to a second and final request. Failure to respond to the second and final request within five (5) business days of receipt thereof shall be deemed approval of the estoppel certificate and shall entitle Developer, its lender(s), and such other parties designated by Developer to rely thereon. 1000. GENERAL PROVISIONS.
1001. Notices, Demands and Communications between the Parties. Any approval, disapproval, demand, document or other notice which either party may desire to give to the other party under this DDA must be in writing and shall be given by certified mail, return receipt requested and postage prepaid, personal delivery, or reputable overnight courier (but not by facsimile or email), to the party to whom the notice is directed at the address of the party as set forth below, or at any other address as that party may later designate by notice.

Notices sent by a party’s attorney on behalf of such party shall be deemed delivered by such party. 1002. Enforced Delay; Extension of Times of Performance. Except as otherwise set forth in this DDA, and subject to the limitations set forth below, performance by either party hereunder shall not be deemed to be in Default, and all performance and other dates specified in this DDA shall be extended, where delays are due to: war; insurrection; strikes; lockouts; riots; floods; earthquakes; fires; casualties; acts of God; acts of the public enemy; acts of terror, epidemics; pandemics; quarantine restrictions; freight embargoes; unusually severe weather; government orders and any other acts or failures to act of any public or governmental agency (“Force Majeure Conditions”); provided any orders, acts or failures by City shall not be deemed Force Majeure Conditions with respect to the City. An extension of time for any such cause shall be for the period of the Force Majeure Condition, and shall commence to run from the time of the commencement of the cause, if notice by the party claiming such extension is sent to the other party within thirty (30) days of the party obtaining actual knowledge of the commencement of the cause; provided, however, the extension of the Outside Date for Initial Conveyance by reason of Force Majeure Conditions shall in no event extend beyond December 31, 2022.
Developer expressly agrees that, except as caused by Force Majeure Conditions, adverse changes in economic conditions, either of Developer or its Manager or Managing Member, as applicable, specifically or the economy generally, changes in market conditions or demand, and/or Developer’s inability to obtain financing or other lack of funding for one or more aspects of Developer’s Work shall not constitute grounds of enforced delay pursuant to this Section.
Except as caused by Force Majeure Conditions, Developer expressly assumes the risk of such adverse economic or market conditions and/or financial inability, whether or not foreseeable as of the Date of Agreement.
1003. Successors and Assigns. Subject to the restrictions on transfers set forth in Section 103 above, all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this DDA shall be binding upon Developer and City and their respective successors and assigns. Whenever the term “Developer” OAK #4843-5079-9573 v18
52 is used in this DDA, such term shall include any permitted successors and assigns as herein provided.
1004. Non-Liability - Developer. No employee, manager, member, owner, partner, officer, or other representative of Developer or any other Developer Party, shall be personally liable to City, or any successor in interest of City, in the event of any Default or breach by Developer of its obligations under this DDA or for any amount which may become due to City or its successors under the terms of this DDA. City hereby waives and releases any claim it may have against such persons with respect to any Default or breach by Developer or for any amount which may become due to City or its successors under the terms of this DDA. 1005. Relationship between City and Developer. It is hereby acknowledged that the relationship between City and Developer is not that of a partnership or joint venture and that City and Developer shall not be deemed or construed for any purpose to be the agent of the other.
Developer shall indemnify, protect, hold harmless and defend City from any Claims made against City arising from a claimed relationship of partnership or joint venture between City and Developer with respect to the development, operation, maintenance or management of the Property. Developer’s indemnity obligations under this Section shall survive the Closings and issuance of the Certificate of Completion.
1006. City Approvals and Actions. Whenever a reference is made herein to an action or approval to be undertaken by City, the City Manager or their designee is authorized to act on behalf of City, unless specifically provided otherwise or the context or Applicable Law requires otherwise.
1007. Counterparts. This DDA may be signed in multiple counterparts each of which shall be deemed to be an original.
1008. Integration. This DDA, including the Exhibits hereto, including the other Transaction Documents, contain the entire understanding between the parties relating to the transactions contemplated by this DDA. All prior or contemporaneous agreements, understandings, representations and statements, oral or written, other than the Transaction Documents, are merged in this DDA and shall be of no further force or effect. Each party is entering into this DDA based solely upon the representations set forth herein and upon each party’s own independent investigation of any and all facts such party deems material. 1009. Brokerage Fees. City and Developer each represents to the other that it has not engaged the services of any finder or broker and that it is not liable for any real estate commissions, broker’s fees, or finder’s fees which may accrue by means of the Conveyance of the Property. Each party shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold the other party harmless from and against any and all Claims based upon any assertion that such commissions or fees are allegedly due from the party making such representations. The parties’ indemnity obligations under this Section shall survive the Closings and issuance of the Certificate of Completion. 1010. Interpretation. As used in this DDA, masculine, feminine or neuter gender and the singular or plural number shall each be deemed to include the others where and when the OAK #4843-5079-9573 v18
53 context so dictates. The words “include” and “including” shall be construed as if followed by the words “without limitation.” The parties acknowledge that each party and its respective counsel have reviewed and revised this DDA and that the rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this DDA or any document executed and delivered by either party in connection herewith. The captions in this DDA are for convenience of reference only and shall not be used to interpret this DDA. Reference to section numbers are to sections in this DDA, unless expressly stated otherwise. References to specific section numbers shall include all subsections which precede and follow the referenced section. As used herein, the term “days” means calendar days and the term “business days” means all calendar days other than Saturdays, Sundays, or holidays observed by City.
1011. Modifications. Any alteration, change or modification of or to this DDA, in order to become effective, shall be made in writing and in each instance approved and signed on behalf of each party.
1012. Severability. If any term, provision, condition or covenant of this DDA or its application to any party or circumstances shall be held, to any extent, invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this DDA, or the application of the term, provision, condition or covenant to persons or circumstances other than those as to whom or which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected, and shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
1013. Computation of Time. The time in which any act is to be done under this DDA is computed by excluding the first day, and including the last day, unless the last day is a holiday or Saturday or Sunday, and then that day is also excluded. The term “holiday” means all holidays as specified in Sections 6700 and 6701 of the California Government Code. If any act is to be done by a particular time during a day, that time shall be Pacific Time Zone time. 1014. Time of Essence. Time is expressly made of the essence with respect to the performance by City and Developer of each and every obligation and condition of this DDA. 1015. Cooperation. Each party agrees to reasonably cooperate with the other in connection with the Conveyances, and in that regard, shall execute any and all documents which may be reasonably necessary, helpful, or appropriate to carry out the purposes and intent of this DDA, to the extent the same are not inconsistent with the terms and conditions of this DDA. 1016. Conflicts of Interest. No member, official or employee of City shall have any personal interest, direct or indirect, in this DDA, nor shall any such member, official or employee participate in any decision relating to this DDA which affects his personal interests or the interests of any corporation, partnership or association in which he is directly or indirectly interested.
1017. Conflict with South Mare Island Property Documents. In the event of any conflict between the terms of one or more of the South Mare Island Property Documents and the terms of this DDA, the terms and provisions of this DDA shall control.
OAK #4843-5079-9573 v18
54 1018. Time for Acceptance of Agreement by City. This DDA, when executed by Developer and delivered to City, must be authorized, executed and delivered by City on or before sixty (60) days after signing and delivery of this DDA by Developer or this DDA shall be void, except to the extent the parties shall consent in writing to a further extension of time for the authorization, execution and delivery of this DDA.
1019. Non-Liability of Officials and Employees of City. No employee, elected or appointed official or other representative of City shall be personally liable to Developer, or any successor in interest of Developer, in the event of any Default or breach by City of its obligations under this DDA or for any amount which may become due to Developer or its successors under the terms of this DDA. Developer hereby waives and releases any claim it may have against the employees, elected or appointed officials or other representatives of City with respect to any Default or breach by City or for any amount which may become due to Developer or its successors under the terms of this DDA.
1020. Plans and Data. If by the Outside Date for Initial Conveyance (as such date may be extended due to Force Majeure Conditions) Developer has not acquired from City fee title to the entirety of the City-Owned Property, then Developer shall provide City with full and complete copies of all investigation reports and studies applicable to the Property within Developer’ possession or direct control, including boring logs, sample or laboratory test results, or other technical data, studies and backup, including in digital formats that can be accessed across similar platforms used by Developer, produced by Developer or its contractors or subcontractors in connection with Developer’ due diligence and pre-development activities (collectively, “Work Product”) within sixty (60) days following the expiration or termination of the DDA and concurrently with City delivery to Developer of any remaining Project Account funds. The parties agree that Work Product shall not include attorney/client privileged communications and memoranda; Developer’s confidential proprietary financial information or development proformas; internal memoranda, reports or assessments regarding Property valuation or interpretation of any third party agreements or contracts or third party reports; or Developer’s architectural design concepts and plans, including the work of HOK or other architects. Once delivered, each of Developer and City shall own equal right, title and interest in and to such Work Product. All such Work Product shall be provided solely on an “AS IS” basis for use by City or any of its assigns or contractors at their own respective risk, and Developer shall not make, and hereby disclaims, any and all representations and warranties whatsoever with respect to all Work Product.
1021. Intentionally Omitted.
1022. Certificate of Completion. Following Developer’s satisfactory completion of Developer’s Work, without condition or delay and within the time set forth in the Schedule of Performance, City shall furnish Developer with “the Certificate of Completion”. The Certificate of Completion shall be conclusive determination of satisfactory completion of Developer’s Work and the Certificate of Completion shall so state. Any party then owning or thereafter purchasing, leasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in the Property shall not (because of such ownership, purchase, lease or acquisition) incur any obligation or liability under this DDA. However, the OAK #4843-5079-9573 v18
55 Certificate of Completion shall not constitute evidence of compliance with or satisfaction of any obligation of Developer to any holder of any mortgage, or any insurer of a mortgage securing money loaned to finance development of the Property, or any part thereof, and is not a notice of completion as referred to in California Civil Code section 3093. If City refuses or fails to furnish the Certificate of Completion, City shall, within thirty (30) days after Developer’s written request therefor, provide Developer with a written statement of the reasons City refused or failed to furnish the Certificate of Completion. The statement shall also contain City’s opinion of the actions Developer must take to obtain the Certificate of Completion. City shall not unreasonably withhold such Certificate of Completion. City’s failure to provide such a written statement within such thirty (30) day period shall not constitute City’s deemed approval of Developer’s request for issuance of the Certificate of Completion; provided such failure shall entitle Developer to exercise all rights and remedies under this Agreement and Applicable Laws. 1023. Applicable Laws. The laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict of laws principles, shall govern the interpretation and enforcement of this DDA. 1024. Survival. The covenants and obligations identified in Section 301 shall survive the Closings and remain in effect until issuance of the Certificate of Completion. The covenants and obligations identified in Sections 210, 302, 304, 305, 306, 307, 308 (and Exhibit M), 309, 310, 312, 313, 314, 315 and 316 shall survive the Closings and issuance of the Certificate of Completion and remain in effect as provided in those sections. The defense, indemnification, protection and hold harmless obligations of Developer under Sections 202.1, 307, 702, 703, 1005 and 1009 shall survive the Closings as well as termination of this DDA and issuance of the Certificate of Completion.
1025. Right of First Offer. If, at any time prior to City’s issuance of the Certificate of Completion, the Developer intends to sell the fee interest in more than 20% of the Property to an unaffiliated third-party, then, in addition to City’s approval rights set forth in Sections 103.2d and 103.3 above, Developer hereby agrees to give City prior written notice thereof (the “Offer Notice”) and the option to purchase the Subject Property (defined below) subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 1025. The Offer Notice shall set forth (i) the subject portion of the Property that Developer intends to sell (the “Subject Property”), (ii) Developer’s proposed purchase price for the Subject Property, and (iii) all of the other material terms and conditions upon which Developer, in its sole discretion, is willing to sell the Subject Property, including without limitation any proposed restrictions on use and similar covenants that would bind the Subject Property after transfer. City shall have ninety (90) days after receipt of an Offer Notice to deliver to Developer written notice whereby City unconditionally and irrevocably agrees to purchase the Subject Property from Developer for the price and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer Notice (a “City ROFO Acceptance”). Any response from the City delivered after the time period set forth above shall be deemed rejected and of no force or effect, time being of the essence. Additionally, any response from the City that contains any counterproposals or any other terms and conditions which differ in any material way from the price and other terms and conditions set forth in the Offer Notice, shall be deemed a rejection by the City and shall be of no force or effect. If City properly delivers a City ROFO Acceptance within the time set forth above, and in strict OAK #4843-5079-9573 v18
56 accordance with the requirements set forth herein, then the parties shall promptly enter into a purchase and sale agreement or such other form of agreement as may be specified in the Offer Notice (the “ROFO Transfer Agreement”), on all of the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer Notice (including purchase price), and Developer shall sell and transfer the Subject Property to City in accordance with the terms and conditions of the ROFO Transfer Agreement; provided closing of such transfer shall occur within one hundred fifty (150) days after delivery of a City ROFO Acceptance and upon closing the Developer shall have no further obligations under this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents to the extent relating to the Subject Property, other than those obligations which survive termination of this Agreement. If City does not timely provide a City ROFO Acceptance, Developer may thereafter sell the Subject Property to any prospective third party purchaser on the terms set forth in the Developer’s Offer Notice, or any other economic terms which are less favorable to the prospective purchaser (such as a higher sale price) than the terms set forth in the Offer Notice. If Developer does not enter into a purchase and sale agreement with a third party for the Subject Property within twelve (12) months following delivery of the Offer Notice, City's right of first offer under this section shall be deemed revived and Developer may not sell the Subject Property without first offering it to City in accordance with this section.

SCOPE OF WORK
I. PLANNING WORK
A. Beautification Plan and Beautification Work. Within the time set forth in the Schedule of Performance, Developer will submit to City for review, input and comment, refine based on City’s comments, and submit (and, if necessary, revise and resubmit one or more times) to City for consideration and potential approval a proposed Mare Island Beautification Plan for installation of interim landscaping; hardscaping; and fencing, lighting and security; which may include elements such as trees and flowers, public seating, and public art; with particular emphasis on the Mare Island Causeway Bridge and Highway 37 entry points to Mare Island and North Mare Island and also portions of South Mare Island as set forth below. The quality and scope of Beautification Work to be performed at the Causeway Bridge and Highway 37 entry points to Mare Island and at the Property will be generally commensurate with the illustrative interim landscaping examples submitted by Developer to City in the “Island Beautification – Potential Areas of Island Beautification” packet prepared by HOK Architects submitted to City on or about February 1, 2022. In the event City approves the proposed Beautification Plan then Developer will commence and complete the Beautification Work described in the City-approved Beautification Plan in two phases as set forth in the Schedule of Performance, with the first phase consisting of the Causeway Bridge and Highway 37 entry point work and the second phase consisting of work on the remaining portions of Mare Island, including the Property. The Parties acknowledge and agree that given the scale of the South Mare Island Property the interim Beautification Work shall address major public gathering points and connectivity corridors in and around South Mare Island but not all of the land comprising the South Mare Island Property.
For avoidance of doubt, the Parties further acknowledge and agree that since the landscaping and hardscaping work to be constructed and installed by Developer in connection with the Connolly Corridor Development Work will be permanent in nature, the Beautification Plan does not need to address the Connolly Corridor area.
B. New Specific Plan Work (Entirety of Mare Island). Within the time set forth in the Schedule of Performance, Developer will submit to City for review and consideration of approval a proposed New Specific Plan for Mare Island, which New Specific Plan shall include a plan for phased installation and construction of Backbone Infrastructure to serve all new development and redevelopment contemplated by the New Specific Plan. The New Specific Plan will cover the entirety of Mare Island, including those portions owned or controlled by Developer or its affiliates, including the Property and the South Mare Island properties which Developer or its affiliates have acquired or are under contract to acquire from Lennar Mare Island, LLC, which plan shall include all requisite statutory requirements per Government Code Section 65421 and address, among other items, the following: a range of permitted land uses which potentially include commercial, retail, residential, office, hotel, industrial, community/civic and recreational uses, and the timing for construction and installation of Backbone Infrastructure. The infrastructure sections of the New Specific Plan will specify that substantially all existing utility and related infrastructure will need to be decommissioned and replaced and not reused or repurposed to serve new development on Mare Island. Developer’s proposed New Specific Plan shall also address all requirements associated with the interfacing OAK #4843-5079-9573 v18
Exhibit C Page 2
and interconnection of the Property and the Backbone Infrastructure with other development on Mare Island. Developer’s obligations with respect to the design and construction of the Backbone Infrastructure shall be set forth in one or more public/subdivision improvement agreements to be entered into by the parties at the time the Property is further parcelized or subdivided or at the time one or more components of Backbone Infrastructure are required to be constructed.
II. DEMOLITION WORK
A. Demolition Work (North Mare Island). Within the time set forth in the Schedule of Performance, Developer shall commence and complete all work of demolishing the NonUtilized Buildings, including containing, removing and disposing of all debris, including lead based paint, PCB and asbestos containing materials in accordance with Applicable Laws, including Environmental laws all in accordance with the Agreement.
III. CONNELLY CORRIDOR DEVELOPMENT WORK
A. Connolly Corridor Development Work (South Mare Island). Within the time set forth in the Schedule of Performance, Developer shall commence and complete all of the Connolly Corridor Work, including those portions of Backbone Infrastructure reasonably necessary to support and service such new development as determined by City in its reasonable discretion.
IV. SOIL TESTING AND SITE PREPARATION WORK
A. Soil Testing (South Mare Island). Within the time set forth in the Schedule of Performance, Developer will cause a consultant selected by Developer to sample and test soil previously stockpiled by Lennar Mare Island at six locations (i.e. two within Area 14, two within Area 8, one within Area 18 and one within Area 21) as shown on the draft stockpile site plan prepared by ENGEO dated September 2007, so that a determination can be made as to whether such soil is suitable for importation as Clean Fill suitable for development of residential or residential mixed-use development.
B. Site Preparation Work (North Mare Island). In the event City approves a New Specific Plan then, as soon as practicable following City approval of the New Specific Plan, Developer will use commercially reasonable and diligent efforts to commence and complete importation of clean fill suitable for development of the various uses specified in such plan in quantities sufficient to raise the elevation of the Property to a level necessary to support Developer’s intended development and in accordance with all applicable governmental approvals, which is currently estimated to be approximately two million cubic yards. Beginning on the date set forth in the Schedule of Performance, Developer shall report to City on an annual basis regarding Developer’s progress in obtaining such Clean Fill and, if substantial progress in Clean Fill importation has not been made, an explanation as to why the Clean Fill was not obtained.
OAK #4843-5079-9573 v18
Exhibit C Page 3
V. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
A. Applicable Codes and Approvals. All Developer Work and all other construction and development work shall be performed in accordance with all conditions of approval imposed by the City Council, the Planning Commission and any other governmental body exercising jurisdiction over development of the Property. In addition, construction and development of all improvements, including Backbone Infrastructure, shall be in accordance with the Uniform Building Code (in effect in City from time to time with modifications thereto made by City) and the City Municipal Code and all other Applicable Laws.
B. Mitigation Measures. In connection with the development of the Property and construction and installation of Backbone Infrastructure and performance of the Developer’s Work, Developer shall observe and comply with all of the mitigation measures imposed by City under CEQA and, if applicable, federal agencies under NEPA, and all conditions of approval imposed in connection with the applicable planning, land use and entitlement and development approvals.

SUBLEASE IN FURTHERANCE OF CONVEYANCE
THIS SUBLEASE IN FURTHERANCE OF CONVEYANCE ("Sub-LIFOC") is entered into as of _______________, 202__ ("Effective Date"), by and between the CITY OF VALLEJO, a California municipal corporation ("City" or “Sublessor”), and THE NIMITZ GROUP, LLC, a California limited liability company (“Sublessee”).
R E C I T A L S
This Sub-LIFOC is made with reference to the following facts and understandings:
A. The United States of America, acting by and through the Department of the Navy, as lessor ("Government"), and City, as lessee, entered into that certain Lease In Furtherance Of Conveyance dated September 30, 1999 ("1999 LIFOC") attached hereto as Attachment No. 3, by which the Government has leased to City a portion of the former Mare Island Naval Shipyard, including approximately 31.8 acres within Reuse Area 1-A, as described in Attachment No. 1 and depicted in Attachment No. 2 to this Sub-LIFOC (“Leased Premises”).
B. The Government has issued a Finding of Suitability for Transfer (“FOST”) for one of the two subparcels comprising the Leased Premises but transfer of that property to the City has been delayed due to new regulatory requirements regarding polyfluoroalkyl substances (“PFAS”). Following resolution of the PFAS issue and issuance of a FOST with respect to the other subparcel comprising the Leased Premises, Navy will convey title to the Leased Premises to City via quitclaim deed.
C. City and Sublessee entered into an Exclusive Negotiation Agreement dated July 31, 2018 (as subsequently amended, the “ENA”), providing, among other things, for City and Sublessee to negotiate terms for Sublessee to sublease the Leased Premises on an interim basis and accept title conveyance of the Leased Premises following City’s acquisition thereof from the Government. City and Sublessee subsequently negotiated and entered into a Disposition and Development Agreement dated _______________, 2022 (the “DDA”) recorded in the Official Records of the County of Solano as Instrument No. ____________, providing in part for Sublessee to sublease the Leased Premises and acquire the Leased Premises upon its conveyance by the Government to City pursuant to a form of Sublease in Furtherance of Conveyance attached as an exhibit thereto.
D. Sublessee desires to obtain use of the Leased Premises prior to the transfer of title to the Leased Premises to City, and subsequently to Sublessee, pursuant to the DDA and has requested that City sublease the Leased Premises to Sublessee pursuant to this Sub-LIFOC.
E. Sublessee acknowledges that City has agreed to sublease the Leased Premises to Sublessee under this Sub-LIFOC in a conduit capacity only. As such, Sublessee has agreed to assume all of the obligations of City as Lessee under the 1999 LIFOC, as it relates solely to the Leased Premises and pursuant and subject to the terms and conditions of the 1999 LIFOC which exist on the Effective Date, and to perform its other obligations set forth herein. Sublessee further acknowledges that City has agreed to sublease the Leased Premises to Sublessee under this Sub-LIFOC based on Sublessee agreeing to accept conveyance of the Leased Premises from OAK #4843-5079-9573 v18 Exhibit E Page 2
City immediately following conveyance of the Leased Premises by the Government to City as part of a joint escrow as provided in, and subject to, the terms and conditions of the DDA, and Sublessee has agreed to such requirement and obligation.
A G R E E M E N T
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and for other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
1. Capitalized Terms. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the 1999 LIFOC, unless otherwise indicated.
2. Leased Premises. City subleases to Sublessee and Sublessee subleases from City, on the terms and conditions of this Sub-LIFOC, the Leased Premises.
3. Term. The "Term" of this Sub-LIFOC shall commence on the Effective Date ("Commencement Date") and expire on the first to occur of (a) the date which is immediately prior to the expiration date of the 1999 LIFOC term, currently September 29, 2049 ("Expiration Date”); or (b) the effective date of conveyance by quitclaim deed of the Leased Premises from City to Sublessee pursuant to the DDA; or (c) the date on which City consummates the exercise of the City’s option to repurchase, reenter and take possession of property previously conveyed by City to Sublessee, as Developer, pursuant to section 806 of the DDA; unless sooner terminated pursuant to the terms of this Sub-LIFOC (including without limitation those provisions of the 1999 LIFOC that are incorporated herein by reference). In the event of a conveyance by City to Sublessee of title to only a portion of the Leased Premises, then this SubLIFOC shall be deemed terminated only as to such portion so conveyed and, if requested by City or Sublessee, the parties shall execute an amendment of this Sub-LIFOC memorializing the reduction in the size of the Leased Premises subject to this Sub-LIFOC.
4. Rent. Sublessee shall pay to City as "Base Rent" for the term of this Sub-LIFOC the sum of One Dollar ($1.00), payable concurrently with execution of this Sub-LIFOC and receipt of which is acknowledged hereby. Sublessee shall pay to City as "Additional Rent" any and all other amounts of any kind that become due or payable by City to Government or third parties under the terms of the 1999 LIFOC, within thirty (30) days of Sublessee's receipt of written demand therefor, which demand shall include copies of all applicable Government invoices and statements, and all other cost documents verification. Base Rent and Additional Rent are collectively referred to herein as "Rent". Sublessee's obligation to pay Rent under this Sub-LIFOC survives the Term to the extent such obligation has not been fulfilled during the Term.
5. 1999 LIFOC. A copy of the 1999 LIFOC is attached to this Sub-LIFOC as Exhibit B and, except as set forth below, is incorporated herein by reference. This Sub-LIFOC is subject to all provisions of the 1999 LIFOC, and Sublessee shall not permit any act or omission to act that will violate any of the provisions of the 1999 LIFOC. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Sub-LIFOC shall in any way be construed as making Sublessee liable in any way for any violations of the 1999 LIFOC or any obligations of City under the 1999 LIFOC to the OAK #4843-5079-9573 v18 Exhibit E Page 3
extent occurring or accruing prior to the Commencement Date. City hereby represents and warrants to City’s knowledge that the 1999 LIFOC attached hereto is in full force and effect, has not been modified or amended in any way other than pursuant to the written documents and instruments attached as exhibits hereto, and there are no outstanding defaults or claims of default currently existing with respect to the 1999 LIFOC by either City or Government. As used herein, to “City’s knowledge” means the current, actual knowledge of Paul Kelley, Special Advisor to the City Manager/Economic Development Manager.

AGREEMENT FOR PAYMENT IN LIEU OF TAXES
[Property Tax Covenant]
This Agreement for Payments in Lieu of Taxes (“Agreement”) dated as of ________, 202__ (“Effective Date”), is made and entered into by and between the CITY OF VALLEJO, a California municipal corporation (“City”), and _______________, a ________________ (“Owner 1”), and THE NIMITZ GROUP, LLC, a California limited liability company (“Owner 2” and collectively with Owner 1, the “Owners”). City and Owners are referred to herein individually as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties”.
RECITALS
A. Owner 2, as successor in interest to Lennar Mare Island, LLC, is the fee owner of one hundred seven (107) parcels and lessee of five (5) parcels of real property listed by their respective Assessor Parcel Numbers (APNs) with current AV (defined below) shown in Attachment No. 2 attached hereto and incorporated herein (“South Mare Island Property”).
B. City, as successor in interest to the United States Department of the Navy, is the fee owner of approximately 125.3 acres of Mare Island consisting of a portion of Mare Island Reuse Area 1 as generally depicted on Attachment No. 1 and more particularly described in Attachment No. 3 (“City-Owned Property”). City is also the long term lessee of an additional approximately 31.8-acre portion of Mare Island Reuse Area 1 as generally depicted on Attachment No. 1 (“Navy-Owned Property” and, collectively with the City-Owned Property, the “North Mare Island Site”). The South Mare Island Property and the City-Owned Property are referred to collectively herein as the “Mare Island Property”.
C. The North Mare Island Site is the subject of a Disposition and Development Agreement between City and Owner 1 dated __________________, 2022 (“DDA”), which has OAK #4843-5079-9573 v18 Exhibit H Page 2
been recorded in the Official Records of the County of Solano, as Instrument No. 2022- ___________.
D. Concurrently herewith City is conveying to Owner 1 the City-Owned Property so that Owner 1 may undertake certain planning work and thereafter undertake comprehensive redevelopment of the City-Owned Property and, following Owner 1’s acquisition of the Navy-Owned Property from City as provided in the DDA, the balance of North Mare Island Site, all as provided in the DDA.
E. City agreed to provide Owner 1 requested flexibility regarding timing of development of the North Mare Island Site on the condition that Owners commit to make certain property tax in lieu payments to City and the Vallejo City Unified School District (“VCUSD”) if, by the Minimum Tax Revenue Date (defined below), Owners’ development related activities have not increased the assessed value (land and improvements only) (“AV”) of the Mare Island Property for property tax purposes by a mutually agreed upon amount.
F. To effectuate the purposes of the DDA, the Parties intend that the Owners make annual payments to the City and VCUSD for the Term of this Agreement, to make up for the shortfall in the share of real property taxes payable with respect to the Mare Island Property and the improvements thereon that would have otherwise been received by the City and VCUSD but for Owners’ decision to defer development of the Mare Island Property.
NOW THEREFORE, in exchange for the mutual commitments set forth herein and other good and valuable consideration, the Parties agree as follows:
AGREEMENTS
1. Term. The term (“Term”) of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date set forth above and shall continue in effect until such time as the total AV of the Mare Island Property in effect for any given property tax year exceeds 110% of the Minimum Owner Property AV (defined below) in effect as of such property tax year. When the 110% threshold has been reached, City, upon written request of either of the Owners, shall execute a notice of termination or other similar instrument evidencing the termination of this Agreement.
2. Payment in Lieu of Property Taxes. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the AV of the South Mare Island Property as of the 2021/2022 tax year is $102,134,345.00. The Parties further acknowledge that based on the purchase price to be paid by Owner 1 to City per the terms of the DDA, the AV of the City-Owned Property for the tax year in which the closing occurs will be approximately equal to the $3,000,000. Owners hereby agree that if the AV of the Mare Island Property on the Minimum Tax Revenue Date (defined below) does not equal or exceed the Minimum Owner Property AV (defined below), then Owners shall pay City and VCUSD beginning on July 1 of the tax year following the Minimum Tax Revenue Date and on July 1 of each year thereafter (“Due Date”) an amount equal to the difference between the property taxes actually received by City and VCUSD based on the AV of the Mare Island Property for the property tax year in question and the property taxes that City and VCUSD would have received (i.e. 19% and 24% of the total property taxes, respectively) if the total AV of the Mare Island Property had been equal to the Minimum Owner Property AV (defined below). The OAK #4843-5079-9573 v18 Exhibit H Page 3
Parties agree that the “Minimum Owner Property AV” as of July 1 of the first year following the Minimum Tax Revenue Date shall be the amount of $144,782,913, which amount represents the sum of the South Mare Island 2021/22 AV + the City-Owned Property AV of $3M + $26,000,000, as increased by the Proposition 13 2% annual escalator for the period between the effective date of the DDA and the Minimum Tax Revenue Date (defined below). The Minimum Owner Property AV amount shall be increased annually by 2% per year each year following the Minimum Tax Revenue Date. The Parties further agree that the calculations of growth in AV for each tax year shall exclude (i) any increases in property assessed valuation resulting from construction and development related activities, if any, undertaken by City or any other governmental agency(ies) or the tenant(s) or subtenant(s) (other than Owners) of City or such other governmental agency(ies), and (ii) any increases in property assessed valuation attributable to personal property or any items other than land and improvements. The “Minimum Tax Revenue Date” shall be ____________________, 2027 [Insert date that is 5 years after the effective date of the DDA]; provided however the Minimum Tax Revenue Date shall be automatically extended by the period of any Recession (defined below) occurring between the Effective Date of this Agreement and the Minimum Tax Revenue Date set forth above. A “Recession” means a quarterly decline in the monetary value of all finished goods and services produced in the United States, as measured by initial quarterly estimates of US Gross Domestic Project (“GDP”) published by the US Department of Commerce Bureau of Economic Analysis (and not BEA’s subsequent monthly revisions), lasting more than two (2) consecutive calendar quarters. Any quarter of positive GDP growth shall end the period of such Recession. If Owners fail to make any payment by the applicable Due Date, then a late fee of ten percent of the amount due, plus interest at the rate of seven percent per annum or, if less, the maximum amount allowed by applicable law shall accrue on the amount due until paid in full.
3. Intentionally Omitted.
4. Recording; Amendment upon Acquisition of Navy-Owned Property. This Agreement shall be recorded with the County of Solano Recorder's Office upon execution. Upon City’s acquisition of fee title to the Navy-Owned Property or portion thereof from the Navy and conveyance thereof to Owner 1 pursuant to the DDA, City and Owners, upon request by either Party, shall execute and record an amendment to this Agreement to add the Navy-Owned Property or portion thereof to the Mare Island Property.
5. Future Taxes and Assessments. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the ability of the City to establish and impose upon the Mare Island Property in accordance with applicable law any new or increased special taxes or assessments.
6. Covenants Run with the Land. All covenants contained in this Agreement shall be covenants running with the land, but only for the duration of the Term, and thereafter shall be of no further force or effect. All covenants in this Agreement shall be binding for the benefit of the City and VCUSD and such covenants shall run in favor of the City and VCUSD for the Term, without regard to whether the City or VCUSD is or remains an owner of any land or interest therein to which such covenants relate, but only for the duration of the Term.
7. Statement of Good Faith. The Parties acknowledge and agree the payment obligations established by this Agreement were negotiated in good faith in recognition of and OAK #4843-5079-9573 v18 Exhibit H Page 4
with due consideration of the cyclical nature of the real estate development business. Each Party was represented by counsel in negotiation and preparation of this Agreement and has entered into this Agreement after full and due consideration and with the advice of its counsel and its independent consultants.
