Description of Property" attached hereto as Exhibit A, and is shown on the "Site Map" attached
hereto as Exhibit B which together show the "Property".
C. Proect. The grant of development rights hereunder is consideration for
j_
Developer's good faith efforts to complete the development of a multi-million dollar, mixed use,
commercial and residential project consisting of up to approximately 2 million square feet of
commercial space and 1,550 residential units as described in the Specific Plan (as hereinafter
defined). The project as approved by the Specific Plan is hereinafter referred to as the "Project."
The Project to be constructed by Developer, with financial assistance from the Carson
Redevelopment Agency (the -Agency") according to the terms of an Owner Participation
Agreement, will benefit City by remediating a former landfill site, creating new jobs in the
community, aiding in the revitalization of City's economy, providing new entertainment and

D. Legislation Authorizing Development Agreements. To strengthen the public
planning process, encourage private participation in comprehensive planning and reduce the
economic risk of development, the legislature of the State of California adopted the Development
Agreement Statute, Sections 65864, et �Leq., of the Government Code, authorizing City to enter
into an agreement with any Person (as hereinafter defined) having a legal or equitable interest in
real property providing for the development of such property and establishing certain
development rights therein. The legislative findings and declarations underlying the
Development Agreement Statute and the provisions governing contents of development
agreements state, in Government Code Sections 65864(c) and 65865.2, that the lack of public
facilities, including, but not limited to, streets, sewerage, transportation, drinking water, school,
and utility facilities is a serious impediment to the development of new housing, and that

otherwise achieve the goals of the Development Agreement Statute. In consideration of these
benefits to City and the public benefits of the development of the Property, Developer will
receive assurances that City shall grant all permits and approvals required for total development
of the Property and the Project in accordance with this Agreement.

4. DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROPERTY.
4.1 Right to Develop. During the Tema, Developer shall have a vested right to
develop the Property to the full extent permitted by the Development Plan and this Agreement.
Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Development Plan shall exclusively control
the development of the Property (including, the pennitted uses of the Property, the density or
intensity of use, the maximum height and size of proposed buildings, the provisions for
reservation or dedication of land for public purposes and the design, improvement and
construction standards and specifications applicable to the Project and the development of the
Property). Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, any Future Land Use Regulations
shall not be applied to the Project or any Phase thereof unless Developer gives written notice to
City of its election to have such Future Land Use Regulations applied to the Project or such
Phase. Developer may elect to develop and construct upon the Property or any portion thereof a
Development of lesser height, size, or density than that permitted by the Specific Plan provided
that such Development otherwise complies with the Development Plan and this Agreement.
4.2 Specific Plan Regulations. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.1, it is
recognized by the Parties that the Existing Development Approvals, including the Specific Plan,
I Zn
are generalized and that City's procedures for approving specific development involve a more
precise and detailed review including tentative tract map approval, final site plan approval and
building plan check review and approval. At these levels of review, site specific criteria are
considered, along with factors such as parking and loading requirements, setbacks, minimum lot
frontages, open space requirements and similar matters as specified in applicable portions of the
Specific Plan and the Carson Municipal Code. For example, although the Specific Plan specifies
the general location of the proposed uses, the City, throu 'ch administrative approval or the
Planning Commission, as the case may be, at the time of the approval process for the site plan
must approve the exact location with due consideration for topography, geology, compatibility
with surrounding property and other constraints. In addition, the City has not ftilly evaluated the
need for or timing of construction of public infrastructure but such requirements by City shall be
subject to the restrictions specified in Sections 4.7 and 5.3. Therefore, City retains the right to
impose appropriate Conditions of Approval in granting Future Development Approvals not in
conflict with the Existing Development Approvals so long as such Conditions of Approval to
Future Development Approvals (i) pen -nit Developer to construct the Project with the permitted
uses and the density and intensity of use and as otherwise provided in the Specific Plan and in
accordance with this Agreement, and (ii) do not result in the imposition of any additional
Exactions on the Project except as specifically permitted in accordance with this Agreement.

4.3 Subdivision Maps. In order for the Project to be developed in accordance with
the Specific Plan and this Agreement, Developer must file Applications for tentative, vesting
tentative or parcel maps. As provided in Section 4.2 above, there will be more detailed Project
information and site specific criteria that will be considered and City shall retain the right to add
Conditions of Approval as stated in Section 4.2. After approval, such tentative, vesting tentative
or parcel maps shall be considered part of the Development Approvals applicable to the Property
and the Development thereof. and Developer's rights thereunder shall be vested pursuant to this
Agreement. As provided in Cal. Govt. Code Section 66452.6 and 65863.9, the term of any
tentative, vesting tentative or parcel map hereafter approved with respect to the Project shall
remain in effect and be valid through the scheduled termination date of this Agreement.
4.4 Environmental Equivalency. The EIR includes an environmental equivalency
program which permits a trade off of uses so long as greater environmental impacts are not
thereby incurred, and such environmental equivalency program is incorporated in this Agreement
as provided in the EIR. In addition, if Developer cannot acquire real property that is required in
order to in-iplement any Condition of Approval or if Developer does not have the legal capacity
to satisfy a Condition of Approval for any other reason, and City elects not to acquire such real
property or to take such actions as are necessary to enable Developer to satisfy such Condition of
Approval and such Condition of Approval is not physically required for the Project to operate,
then Developer shall be allowed, at its election, to complete the Project without performing such
legally infeasible Condition of Approval; provided that, in that event, if City so elects, Developer
shall implement such substitute measure or measures as are required by City so long as such
substitute measures (i) constitute an environmental equivalent (as defined in the EIR Mitigation
Measures) to the legally infeasible Condition of Approval, (ii) have a nexus to the Project, and
(iii) do not exceed the cost to Developer of the legally infeasible Condition of Approval by more
than one hundred and fifty percent (150%).
4.5 Water Supply Assessment. All tentative maps prepared for this Project shall
comply with the provisions of Government Code Section 66473.7 to the extent applicable hereto.
In connection with the foregoing, City has found and determined that the immediate contiguous
properties surrounding the Project are, or previously have been, developed for urban uses within
the meaning of Government Code Section 66473.7(i).
4.6 Interim Uses. Notwithstanding anything that is or appears to be to the contrary in
this Agreement or the Development Plan, City agrees that, until development of the Project,
Developer may continue use and operation of the Property for any use which is otherwise
pem-iitted by applicable zoning and other laws and ordinances as they may be from time to time
amended.
4.7 Modifications to Required Public Improvements. With respect to Future
Development Approvals, based on future planning studies and long range General Plan forecasts,
the City Engineer may determine that the Project Public Improvements (Exhibit E) must be
modified to better meet long-term City infrastructure needs. The modifications shall be within
the discretion of the City Engineer, and the City Engineer may determine the priority of the
Project Public Improvements, how the Project Public Improvements can be modified,
Developer's fair share responsibility therefor, whether Developer must install the Project Public
Improvements or pay in lieu fees, and similar matters. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
10

in this Agreement, City Engineer may not order modification of the Project Public Improvements
unless each of the following conditions is met:
(a) The modifications may not disrupt the timing of construction of
the Project or the use or operation of any completed portions of the Project;
(b) Any costs to be incurred by Developer in connection therewith
which are in excess of the projected costs of the Project Public Improvements as of the
Approval Date (subject to CPI Index escalation) shall be included in the financial
assistance provided by Agency and/or City to Developer under the Owner Participation
Agreement or otherwise funded at no additional cost or expense to Developer; and
(c) City shall be solely responsible for complying, with CEQA with

way or easements for public access, utilities, lighting, water, sewer and for drainage for the
Project and adjacent development, or (ii) additional improvements internal to the Project or
immediately adjacent, to alleviate an impact caused directly by the Project so long as the
Developer is still able to construct the Project with the permitted uses and the density and
intensity of use pennitted in the Specific Plan and so long as it is not in conflict with Specific
Plan.
4.8 Special Uses.

(c) The provisions of this Section shall supercede any conflicting
provisions of the Specific Plan. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this
supersedes and replaces Condition No. 3 of Exhibit B ("Conditions of Approval") to the
Specific Plan.
4.9 Employment of Local Residents. A goal of the City with respect to this Project
and other major projects within the City is to foster employment opportunities for Carson
residents. To that end, Developer covenants that with respect to the construction, operation and

5. TIME FOR CONSTRUCTION AND COMPLETION OF PROJECT.
5.1 Right of Developer to Control Timin . Developer cannot fully predict the timing,
phasing, or sequencing in which the Project will be developed, if at all. Such decisions depend
upon numerous factors, many of which are not completely within the control of Developer, such
as market orientation and demand, interest rates, absorption, completion, availability of
financing, and the state of the general economy. Therefore, Developer may decide, subject to
meeting the specific requirements of Section 5.2, the timing, phasing, and sequencing of the
Project as Developer from time to time deems appropriate in the exercise of Developer's
business judgment.
5.2 Timing Constraints to Development Plan. Developer shall prepare a "Phasing
Plan" and shall provide it to the City prior to the completion of the remediation of the Property
setting forth Developer's then current plan for the development of the Project. The Phasing Plan
shall include the phasing of the Development of the Project Public Improvements and shall be
consistent with the timing requirements for completion of the Project Public Improvements in the
EIR, the Specific Plan, and this Agreement. Although Developer may modify the timing,
phasing and sequencing of the Project and modify the Phasing Plan accordingly as Developer
from time to time deems appropriate in the exercise of Developer's business judgment (and shall
inform City of proposed changes including, in particular, to the Project Public Improvements),
the Project will be undertaken consistent with the following timing constraints, each subject to
extension for the period of time of any actual delay resulting from the occurrence of any of the
events set forth in Section 17.2:
(a) Developer will submit Applications for subdivision maps
necessary to initiate Development of at least a portion of the Project within one
(1) year of the Operative Date; provided that Developer's submission of
Applications therefor, or City's approval of same, shall not be deemed to preclude
Developer from subsequently submitting Applications for further or additional
subdivision maps for the Development of any additional or subsequent portion(s)
or Phase(s) of the Project, and all such Applications for further or additional
subdivision maps shall be subject to the provisions of Section 4.3.
(b) Developer will commence actual physical remediation
work, beginning with deep dynamic compaction, on the Central Parcel within two
(2) years of the Operative Date. On-site testing and evaluation work is not
deemed commencement of remediation herein. Developer shall give City written
notice of actual commencement of remediation and within thirty (30) days
thereafter City shall inform Developer as to whether it concurs as to the
establishment of the date of commencement.
(c) Developer will complete remediation work on the Central
Parcel within three (3) years of Developer's commencement of remediation work
as described in clause (b) above. For purposes hereof, Developer conclusively
shall be deemed to have completed remediation work upon Developer's receipt of
all necessary approvals and clearances from DTSC pen-nitting construction of the
Project's vertical improvements to commence.
01018,/0111/43088.08 13
(d) Developer will commence construction of the vertical
improvements for at least a portion of the commercial or residential components
of the Project within six (6) months after Developer completes remediation work
on the Central Parcel as described in clause (c) above; provided that Developer's
commencement of construction thereof within that time period shall not be
deemed to preclude Developer from subsequently commencing construction of
further or additional commercial or residential components of the Project
thereafter in accordance with the Development Plan and this Agreement.
(e) Developer will complete construction of the Project
within ten (10) years after Developer completes remediation work on the Central
Parcel as described in clause (c) above; provided that Developer's completion of
construction of the Project shall not be deemed to preclude Developer from
subsequently reconstructing, any structures or buildings in accordance with the
Development Approvals during the Term of this Agreement.
(f) The timing constraints for construction of the Project
Public Improvements shall be as provided in Section 5.3.
(g) Any construction which is commenced shall be
completed in accordance with the terins of any permit which is issued in
accordance with the Existing Land Use Regulations and this Agreement.
5.3 Timing of Public I
g i morovements. The Parties understand and agree that the
Specific Plan identifies the currently known public infrastructure construction requirements
applicable to the Project but does not specify precisely the phasing of the public infrastructure.
The Parties recognize that as Future Development Approvals are obtained there may be
modifications or additional public infrastructure required in accordance with and as described in
Section 4.7. City desires that required public infrastructure generally be constructed in the early
phases of the development cycle subject to the terms of this Section 5.3. In consideration of the
foregoing, notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, with respect to the timing of
construction of the public infrastructure, City shall retain the right to condition any Future
Development Approvals upon Developer's dedicating necessary land for public improvements,
paying the Developer Fees and Processing Fees specified in Section 6, and/or constructing the
required public infrastructure at such time as City shall determine, so long as the timing of the
dedication, payment or construction is reasonably phased to be completed commensurate with
the logical progression of the Project development as well as the reasonable usage needs of the
public existing from time to time.
5.4 Construction Standards for Public Improvements. When Developer is required by
this Agreement and/or the Development Plan to construct any public works facilities which will
be dedicated to City or any other public agency upon completion and if required by applicable
laws to do so, Developer shall perform such work subject to the same construction standards as
would be applicable to City or such other public agency should it have under -taken such
construction work. City shall not accept dedication of streets located on remediated landfill
property.

5.5 Affordable Housing. Developer has agreed to reserve ten percent (10%) or less,
at the City's sole discretion, of the for sale residential units, which are ultimately built, up to a
maximum of seventy-five (75) units for purchase by moderate income qualified purchasers, and
fifteen percent (15%) or less, at the City's sole discretion, of the rental residential units for low
and very low income qualified tenants, each pursuant and subject to agreement of Developer and
the Agency upon the terms of an affordable housing agreement to be negotiated between
Developer and the Agency. The location within the Project of such reserved for sale and rental
residential units shall exclude the Del Arno Parcel, unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties each
acting in their sole discretion.
6. FEES, TAXES AND ASSESSMENTS.

Term of this Agreement, the Project and Developer shall not be subject to any Future Developer
Fees. In addition and notwithstanding anything, herein to the contrary, during the entire Terrri of
this Agreement, the Project and Developer shall not be subject to any Future Developer Fees
consisting of traffic mitigation fees or inclusionary housing fees. After the second (2 nd)

in the following sentence, during the entire Term of this Agreement, the Project and Developer
shall not be subject to any increase in the amount of the Existing Developer Fees. At all times
during the Tenn of this Agreement, the Project shall be subject to increases in the amount of
Existing Developer Fees if, but only if, those increases meet all of the following requirements:
(i) any such increase shall be a City-wide increase of uniform application and such increase shall
comply with the requirements of California Government Code Section 66000, et seq., and any
other applicable law, and (ii) the cumulative percentage increase in the amount of the affected
Existing Developer Fees occurring since the Approval Date does not exceed the amount of the
then cumulative percentage increase in the CPI Index from the Approval Date.
Except as expressly provided above, Developer shall not be subject to payment of any
Developer Fees with respect to the Project. City shall not, without the prior written consent of
Developer, impose any additional Developer Fees, Processing Fees, taxes or assessments on all
or any portion of the Project, whether as a condition to a Future Development Approval or
otherwise, except such Developer Fees, Processing Fees, taxes and assessments as are described
in or permitted by this Agreement and/or the Development Plan.
With respect to Processing Fees, the amount thereof shall be that amount in effect at the
time said Processing Fee is due, provided that the Processing Fee is not imposed in a manner
which discriminates against Developer or the Project and does not exceed the estimated
reasonable cost of providing the service.
This Agreement shall not prohibit the application of fees, taxes or assessments as follows:

fonim, the imposition or the amount of any Processing Fees or Developer Fees or other
Exaction, fee or imposition, or any increase therein. City shall not withhold or delay issuance of
any Development Approvals based upon any pending protest or appeal with respect thereto.

10. ANNUAL REVIEW.
10.1 Annual Monitoring Review.
19
0101 Ko 111/43088.08 r,
(a) City and Developer shall review the perforinance of this
Agreement, and the Development of the Project, on or about each anniversary of the
Approval Date, provided that if development does not proceed in accordance with this
Agreement, an earlier monitoring review may be conducted. As part of such annual
monitoring review, within thirty (30) days after each anniversary of the Approval Date of
this Agreement, Developer shall deliver to City the deposit provided in this section and
shall present all information reasonably requested by City regarding Developer's
performance under this Agreement and as required by the Existing Land Use
Regulations.
(b) The cost of the annual monitoring review shall be bome by
Developer, and Developer shall submit a deposit in an amount determined by the

review shall be refunded to Developer and, if the deposit is insufficient to pay the actual
cost of the review, then Developer shall pay the difference to City within 30 days of
Notice by City to Developer of the insufficiency.
(c) As part of the annual review, the City Council shall conduct a
review hearing at which the Developer must demonstrate good faith compliance with the
terii-is of this Agreement. The Developer shall be allowed to present oral and written
testimony at the hearing. The burden of proof is upon Developer with respect to such
showing. The hearing shall be administrative with no public testimony, unless the City
Council otherwise determines. The City Council may refer the review hearing to the
Planning Commission, in which case the Planning Commission will be subject to the
provisions hereof to the same extent as the City Council. Any determination of non-
compliance by the Planning Commission shall be automatically referred to the City
Council.
(d) If City determines that Developer has complied in good faith
with the terms of this Agreement, the review shall be concluded. If City Council, by a
majority of its membership, finds and determines on the basis of substantial evidence that
Developer has not complied in good faith with the terrns of this Agreement, City may

notice and opportunity to cure provided in Section 11.2.
10.2 Certificate of Compliance. If at the conclusion of a periodic review City finds
that Developer has complied in good faith with the terms of this Agreement, City shall, upon
request by Developer, issue an Estoppel Certificate to Developer in the form shown on Exhibit D
attached hereto.
10.3 Failure to Conduct Annual Review. The failure of City to conduct the Annual
Review shall not constitute a Default by Developer.
11. DEFAULT, REMEDIES AND TERMINATION.
11.1 Rights of Non -Defaulting Party after Default. It is expressly agreed that this
Pr ject is extremely complex, including extensive remediation of a former landfill site, mixed
01 C
use development, extensive transportation improvements, including the interstate highway
20
0101 8/0111/43088M
system, and is the most expensive development project in the City's history. Furthermore, the
Parties agree that once Development of the Property and the Project is commenced, it would be
impractical to return the Parties to their respective positions prior to the commencement of
Development. The Parties agree that legal damages would be extremely difficult to determine,
and would not give the Parties the benefit of their bargain. Accordingly, the Parties agree that,
subject to the provisions of Section 11.4, following the occurrence of a Default, the Party not in
Default (as defined in Section 11.2 below) (the "Non -Defaulting Party") shall have only the
equitable remedy of specific performance or alternatively the ability to terminate this Agreement
for a Default by the other Party (the "Defaulting Party"), subject to the procedure of notice and
hearing herein. Before this Agreement may be terminated or action may be taken to obtain
judicial relief, the Non -Defaulting Party shall comply with the notice and cure provisions of this
Section 11. A claim of Default on the part of City would include, without limitation, a failure of
City to timely accept, process or render a decision on necessary development permits,
entitlements or other land or building approvals for use of the Property as provided in this
Agreement. Nothing in this Section shall limit a Party's right to recover attorneys' fees pursuant
to Section 17.5.
11.2 Notice and Opportunity to Cure. The Non -Defaulting Party in its discretion may
elect to declare a default under this Agreement in accordance with the procedures hereinafter set
forth for any failure or breach of the Defaulting Party to perform any material duty or obligation
of said Defaulting Party under the terms of this Agreement. However, the Non -Defaulting Party
ide written notice to the Defaulting Party setting forth the nature of the breach or
must provi
In
failure and the actions, if any, required by the Defaulting Party to cure such breach or failure.
The Defaulting Party shall be deemed in "Default" under this Agreement if said breach or failure
can be cured, but the Defaulting Party has failed to take such actions and Cure such breach or
failure within thirty (30) days after the date of such notice ("Cure Period"). However, if a breach
or failure cannot be cured within such Cure Period, and if, and as long as, the Defaulting Party
does each of the following:
(a) Notifies the Non -Defaulting Party in writing with a
reasonable explanation as to the reasons the asserted Default is not curable within
the thirty (30) day period;
(b) Notifies the Non -Defaulting Party of the Defaulting
Party's proposed course of action to cure the asserted Default;
(c) Promptly commences to cure the asserted Default within
the thirty (30) day period;
(d) Makes periodic reports to the Non -Defaulting Party as to
the progress of the program of cure-, and
(e) Diligently prosecutes such cure to completion,
then the Defaulting Party shall not be deemed in Default under this Agreement.
11.3 Modification or Termination.

S 9 8
Ad
(a) If, (i) upon a finding pursuant to subsection (d) of Section 10.1
and the failure of Developer to cure such noncompliance after notice and within the Cure
Period in accordance with Section 11.2, the City Council determines that modification of
the Agreement is appropriate or that the Agreement should be terminated, or (ii) in the
case of a Default which is not timely cured after notice and within the Cure Period, in
accordance with Section 11.2, City determines that this Agreement shall be terminated,
then City shall give notice to Developer of its intention to modify or terminate this
Agreement. Such notice shall provide: (0 the time and place of the public hearing to
consider such action; (ii) a statement as to whether the City proposes to terminate or
modify the Agreement; (iii) such other infori-nation as the City considers appropriate to
inform the other party of the nature of the proceeding.
(b) A public hearing for terinination or for modification shall be
conducted except that any amendment or modification which does not relate to the
duration of the Agreement, permitted uses of the property, density or intensity of use,
height or size or proposed buildings, provisions for reservation or dedication of land, or
to any conditions, terms, restrictions or requirements relating to subsequent discretionary
actions relating to design, improvement, construction standards and specifications,
improvement and construction standards or any other condition or covenant relating to
the use of the property shall not require a noticed public hearing, before the City Council.
(c) The City Council may refer the matter to the Planning
Commission for further proceedings or for a report and recommendation. Upon receipt
of any such report and recommendation and the completion of the public hearing, if any,
the Council shall take final action on the modification or termination. Developer must
demonstrate good faith compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The
burdeii of proof is upon the Developer. The hearing shall be administrative with no
public testimony, unless the Council otherwise determines. Developer shall have the

foregoing, City shall have the right to sell, assign or transfer its interest in any real
property dedicated or transferred to City pursuant to the terms of this Agreement
to another public agency.
(b) Definition of Transfer. "Transfer" means any
hypothecation, sale, conveyance, lease, assignment or other transfer of the

ownership or Control interest between members of the same immediate family, or
transfers to a trust, testamentary or otherwise, in which the beneficiaries are
limited to members of the transferor's immediate family, or transfers between or

successor is a corporation or trust, such Transfer shall refer to the Transfer of the

Developer's obligations hereunder shall be effective unless and until the successor

any Transfer requiring City's approval shall constitute a further waiver of the
provision of this Section 12.1(a) and furthermore, City's consent to a Transfer
shall not be deemed to release Developer of liability for perfon-nance under this
Agreement unless such release is specific and in a writing executed by City
(provided that City shall not unreasonably refuse to consent to release Developer
of liability for performance under this Agreement to the extent such liability is
assumed by the Transferee). Upon the written consent of City to the complete
Transfer of this Agreement and the express written assumption of the assigned
obligations of Developer under this Agreement by the assignee, Developer shall
be relieved of its legal duty from the assigned obligations under this Agreement,
except to the extent Developer is in Default under the terms of this Agreement

interests of Developer under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 12.1(a)
above, the exercise, use and enjoyment of such rights shall continue to be subject
to the terms of this Agreement to the same extent as if the Transferee were

-e- e�
on the Approval Date, or at any time thereafter, the General Plan, the Land Use
Regulations, the Development Approvals, this Agreement, or portions thereof, are
invalid or inadequate or not in compliance with law.
(b) Revision of Land Use Restrictions. If for any reason the
General Plan, Land Use Regulations, Development Approvals, this Agreement or
any part thereof is hereafter judicially deten-nined as provided above to be not in
compliance with the State or Federal Constitutions, laws or regulations and if
such noncompliance can be cured by an appropriate amendment thereof otherwise

do so, City may defend the Claims or Litigation and Developer shall pay the cost
thereof, but if City chooses not to defend the Claims or Litigation, it shall have no
liability to Developer. Developer's obligation to pay the defense cost shall extend
until judgment and thereafter through any appeals. In the event of an appeal, or a
settlement offer, the Parties will confer in good faith as to how to proceed and the
resolution of any such appeal and the Parties' response to any such settlement
offer shall require the consent of both Parties, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing however, City shall have

of any Claims or Litigation and Developer shall remain liable hereunder for the
Claims and Litigation provided that (i) if the settlement would reduce the density
or intensity of the Project by ten percent (10%) or more, and (ii) Developer
opposes the settlement, then if City still unilaterally determines to settle such
Claims or Litigation, then City shall be responsible for its own litigation expense

paid by Developer (with the burden on Developer to document and prove such
costs) but shall bear no other liability to Developer.
