incorporated herein by reference.
2. Development Restrictions. The CRA and the County agree that the
Property shall be developed as (a) a retail, office, hotel and/or permitted institutional component
containing a minimum of 30,000 square feet and a sufficient number of parking spaces as
1
required by the applicable building codes, (the "Retail Component") and (b) a parking garage
containing a minimum of three hundred (300) parking spaces (the "Parking Component")
(collectively the "Project"). If the Parking Component includes any office space or retail liner,
up to 5,000 square feet can be deemed to reduce the minimum 30,000 square foot requirement of
the Retail Component.
3. Selection of Developer. The, County agrees that no approval from the
County shall be required if the CRA enters into the Block 36 Development Agreement, as
defined in the Settlement Agreement, with The Gatehouse Group, LLC, a Commonwealth of
Massachusetts limited liability company ("Gatehouse"), or its affiliate. If the CRA finalizes the
Block 36 Development Agreement with Gatehouse, or its affiliate, Gatehouse, or its affiliate,
shall be deemed the Developer for the purpose of this Declaration. If the CRA and Gatehouse
are not able to finalize the Block 36 Development Agreement on terms acceptable to the CRA,
then with thirty (30) days from the date the CRA terminates negotiations with Gatehouse, the
CRA shall conduct a solicitation, in accordance with Section 163.380, Florida Statutes, (the
"Development Opportunity") to select a developer for the Project (the "Developer") in
accordance with the terms of the Settlement Agreement. The CRA shall, within five days of the
selection of the Developer by the Board of Commissioners of the CRA, advise the County by
hand delivery or by certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed to the County Mayor or its
designee (the "Notice") of the Developer selected by the CRA pursuant to the Developer
Opportunity. The Notice shall be deemed delivered to the County on the day hand delivered or
the date the return receipt is executed. In such event, the Board of County Commissioners must
approve or reject the Developer selected by the CRA and consider any proposed variances to the
Declaration as provided in Section 15 within forty five (45) days from the date of delivery of the
Notice (unless the Commission is in recess during such period in which instance an additional
day will be added for each day of recess) (the "Approval Period"). If the Board of County
Commissioners does not approve or reject the Developer selected by the CRA within the
Approval Period, the selection by the CRA and the proposed variances to this Declaration shall
be deemed approved by the Board of County Commissioners. In the event the Board of County
Commissioners rejects the Developer selected by the CRA within the Approval Period, the CRA
shall issue a new Developer Opportunity within thirty (30) days from the date of such rejection.
The process shall continue until the Developer is approved or deemed approved by the Board of
County Commissioners. The Development Opportunity will require the Developer to diligently
pursue the simultaneous development of the Parking Component and the Retail Component, with
a preference on completion of the Parking Component first. The Development Opportunity shall
not require that any component or phase of the Project be completed before construction on
another component or phase can commence.
4. Development Agreement. The CRA shall enter into a development
agreement (the "Development Agreement") with the Developer, approved or deemed approved
by the Board of County Commissioners within ninety (90) days from the date the Developer is
approved or deemed approved by the Board- of County Commissioners. If the CRA does not
enter into the Development Agreement with the Developer approved or deemed approved by the
Board of County Commissioners within the ninety (90) day period, the CRA shall terninate
negotiations with such Developer and issue a new Developer Opportunity within thirty (30) days
from the end of such ninety (90) day period.
5. The Developer shall obtain all applicable land use and zoning approvals
for the Project (the "Approvals") within the earlier of (i) twelve months from the recording of
this Declaration if the CRA has executed a proposed Development Agreement with Gatehouse or
its affiliate (which effectiveness would be contingent on this Settlement) or (ii) two years from
the recordation of this Declaration. The CRA shall convey the Property (excluding solely that
portion of the property to be utilized for the Parking Component) by deed to the Developer prior
to the Developer commencing vertical construction of the Retail Component.
6. Construction. The Developer must commence vertical construction
(defined as physical structures actually being constructed on the Property) within two years from
the recordation of this -Declaration -if Gatehouse -or -its -affiliate is the -developer; or-within-tluee
years from the recordation of this Declaration if the developer is not Gatehouse or its affiliate.
The Developer must substantially complete construction of the Retail Component within twenty-
four (24) months from commencement of vertical construction of the Retail Component (the
"Retail Completion Date"). The Developer must substantially complete construction of the
Parking Component within twenty four (24) months from commencement of vertical
construction of the Parking Component (the "Parking Completion Date"). The Retail
Completion Date and the Parking Completion Date shall be evidenced by one or more temporary
or pennanent certificates of occupancy (or their equivalent) for all buildings comprising the
particular component. Both the Retail Completion Date and Residential Completion Date shall
automatically be extended one day for each day of Unavoidable Delay provided the Executive
Director of the CRA concurs with the Developer that an Unavoidable Delay has occurred and the
County (by its Major or Mayor's designee) agree that an Unavoidable Delay has occurred, which
approval by the County shall not be unreasonably withheld. The tern "Unavoidable Delay"
means delays due to area wide strikes, acts of God, floods, hurricanes, casualties, fires, acts of
the public enemy and govenumental moratoriums. The tern Unavoidable Delay shall not include
delays caused by any other source, including but not limited to a governmental entity acting in its
proprietary or regulatory capacity or delays caused by lack of funds.
7. Developer Default.
A. In the event the Developer (i) does not obtain the Approvals in the
timeframe provided in Section 5 of this Declaration, (ii) fails to achieve substantial completion
of the Retail Component by the Retail Completion Date, as same may be extended as a result of
Unavoidable Delays, or (iii) fails to achieve substantial completion of the Parking Component by
the Parking Completion Date, as same may be extended as a result of Unavoidable Delays, the
CRA and the County (as applicable) may declare the Developer in default by sending a Notice of
Default (the "Default Notice"). The Default Notice shall be hand delivered to the Developer or
mailed to the Developer by certified mail, return receipt requested. The Default Notice shall be
deemed delivered upon the date received if hand delivered, or if mailed, on the date the return
receipt is executed or the date delivery is refused. Upon receipt, or deemed receipt, of the Default
Notice, the Developer shall have ninety (90) days to cure (the "Default Cure Period").

CRA if the CRA has issued the Default Notice, or in the sole discretion of the County if the
County has issued the Default Notice.

Dollars ($250,000.00) on or before the end of the Default Cure Period, as same may have been
extended in accordance with the last sentence of Section 7(A). The extension of the Approval

right of the Developer and may not be utilized in connection with any subsequent default
pursuant to Section 7(A)(i).

7(A)(iii), the Developer may extend the Parking Completion Date, as same may have been
extended as a result of Unavoidable Delays, for an additional six (6) months by paying to each of
