deemed or construed to require Contractors to hire employees who do not comply with OSHA
requirements, drug testing requirements and insurance company requirements; however, neither
the Contractors nor their agents will solicit information from potential skilled laborers regarding
their criminal record at the time of initial application and any evidence of past criminal acts
committed by such skilled laborer of which such Contractor or its agent becomes apprised shall
not automatically disqualify such skilled laborer from Project -related employment, but shall be
considered on a case -by -case basis in accordance with the standards set forth in Exhibit "E". Any
aforementioned hiring requirements shall not relieve Developer from its obligation to comply with
the Skilled Laborer Participation Requirement with respect to the Project.

place of business located in the County but outside the City and the County Targeted Areas.
(ii) The Developer shall require the General Contractor to
have the work performed by Subcontractors based upon their principal place of business in keeping
with the geographic hiring priorities outlined above; provided, however, that nothing contained
herein shall require such General Contractor to hire a Subcontractor from within the County that
does not possess the necessary skills and qualifications required by such General Contractor for
the scope of employment. The fact that some potential Subcontractors are not retained because
they do not possess the necessary skills and qualifications required by the General Contractor shall
not relieve the Developer from its obligation to comply with the Subcontractor Participation
Requirement with respect to the Project.

Funds not paid when due shall bear interest at 12% per annum from the date due until paid.
7.6 Failure to Comply with Minimum Hourly Construction Wage Rate
Requirement. In the event that any Contractor fails to pay the Minimum Hourly Construction
Wage Rate to any worker working on the construction of the Project, which failure is reported by
such worker to the Executive Director, the Executive Director shall investigate the report and if
the Executive Director, based upon his investigation confirms such non-compliance with the
Minimum Hourly Construction Wage Rate requirement, and that the error on the part of the
Contractor was not a de minimis miscalculation of the same, the Developer shall pay to the affected
worker(s) as a penalty the Minimum Hourly Construction Wage Rate for every hour for which
such worker was underpaid plus a twenty percent (20%) penalty (collectively the "Construction
Wage Rate Penalty"). Developer shall not receive the benefit of any credit for hourly wage
payments made to such worker that did not comply with the Minimum Hourly Construction Wage
Rate requirement ("Erroneous Hourly Wage Payment"). By way of illustration, if a worker was
paid an hourly rate of Ten and No/100 Dollars ($10.00) and no health benefits were provided for
one hundred (100) hours in lieu of the Minimum Hourly Construction Wage Rate, the Construction
Wage Rate Penalty would be calculated as follows:
Construction Wage Rate Penalty _ [(Minimum Hourly Construction Labor Rate times
the Total Hours Worked) * times 120%]equals the Construction Wage Rate Penalty, which
would be in addition to the Erroneous Hourly Wage Payment worker.
For example if the Minimum Hourly Construction Wage Rate is $15.83 per hour because
no qualified health care benefits are paid and if the worker was paid Ten and °O/ioo Dollars
($10.00) an hour and no health benefits paid and the worker worked for one hundred (100)
hours, the Construction Wage Penalty would be:
19
#73289798_v4
$15.83 x 120% x 100 hours = $1,899.60 which amount would be in addition to the
Erroneous Hourly Wage Payment previously paid to such worker.
Such Construction Wage Rate Penalty shall be due from the Developer to the underpaid worker(s)
within thirty (30) days after written demand from the Executive Director. Developer shall have
the right to dispute such demand and the findings of the Executive Director. If the Executive
Director and the Developer are not able to resolve their dispute within thirty (30) days the dispute
shall be submitted to the CRA Board for determination which determination shall be binding on
the parties.
The Construction Wage Rate Penalty is not intended to waive any worker's rights to seek any and
all available legal relief available under applicable law. In the event a worker is granted a monetary
award against the Developer or its Contractor(s) in some other forum ("Monetary Award"), any
Construction Wage Rate Penalty otherwise due and owing shall be reduced by the amount of any
such Monetary Award previously paid to such worker.
7.7 Failure to Comply with Responsible Wage Requirement. In the event that
any Contractor fails to pay the Responsible Wage to any worker working on the construction of
the Project within the labor classifications set forth in Sections 7.4 (i) (a) and 7.4 (i) (b), above,
which failure is reported by such worker to the Executive Director, the Executive Director shall
investigate the report and if the Executive Director, based upon his investigation, confirms such
non-compliance with the Responsible Wage requirement, and that the error on the part of the
Contractor was not a de minimis miscalculation of the same, the Developer shall pay to the affected
worker(s) as a penalty the Responsible Wage for every hour for which such worker was underpaid
plus a twenty percent (20%) penalty (the "Responsible Wage Penalty"). Developer shall not
receive the benefit of any credit for hourly wage payments made to such worker that did not
comply with the Responsible Wage requirement ("Erroneous Responsible Wage Payment"). By
way of illustration, if a worker was paid an hourly rate of Twenty and No/100 Dollars ($20.00)
and no health benefits were provided for one hundred (100) hours in lieu of the Responsible Wage
of, for example, $38.46, plus benefits shown on the Schedule, the Responsible Wage Penalty
would be calculated as follows:
Responsible Wage Penalty = [(Responsible Wage, including all required benefits, times
the Total Hours Worked times 120% equals the Responsible Wage Penalty, which amount
could be in addition to the Responsible Wage Penalty which amount would be in addition
to the Erroneous Responsible Wage Payment previously paid to such worker, previously
paid to such worker.
For example if the Responsible Wage is $38.46 plus benefits shown on the Schedule and
the worker was paid Twenty Dollars ($20.00) an hour and no benefits were paid and the
worker worked one hundred (100) hours, the Responsible Wage Penalty would be:
$38.46 + the amount of benefits shown on the Schedule (assumed to total $6.00 for this
example) x 120% x 100 hours = $5,335.20 which amount would be in addition to the
Erroneous Responsible Wage Payment previously paid to such worker.
Such Responsible Wage Penalty shall be due from the Developer to the underpaid workers(s)
within thirty (30) days after written demand from the Executive Director. Developer shall have
20
#73289798_v4
the right to dispute such demand and the findings of the Executive Director. If the Executive
Director and the Developer are not able to resolve their dispute within thirty (30) days the dispute
shall be submitted to the CRA Board from for resolution which resolution shall be binding on the
parties.
The Responsible Wage Penalty is not intended to waive any Electrical Worker's or Plumbing
Worker's rights to seek any and all available relief available under applicable law. In the event
any Electrical Worker or Plumbing Worker is granted a Monetary Award against the Developer or
its Contractor(s) in some other forum, any Responsible Wage Penalty otherwise due and owing
shall be reduced by the amount of any such Monetary Award previously paid to such Electrical
Worker or Plumbing Worker.
7.8 Employment Advertisement & Notice. With respect to the construction of
the Project, Developer shall:
(i) Require its General Contractor and all subcontractors to
electronically post job opportunities in established job outreach websites and organizations,
including, without limitation, CareerSource South Florida, and similar programs in order to attract

through other job outreach websites, organizations, and efforts referenced hereinabove; and
(iii) Require the General Contractor to place weekly radio
commercials on either Hot 105 or 99JAMZ to inform residents of available job opportunities and
upcoming job fairs not less than thirty (30) days prior to and through the date of construction
commencement of the Project.

retain, prior to the issuance of any construction permits for the Project, a firm to review the
Participation Reports submitted by the Developer and audit the same, as well as audit Developer's
compliance with this Agreement (the "Compliance Monitoring Contract"). The Developer shall
reimburse the CRA on a monthly basis for the costs incurred by the CRA under the Compliance
Monitoring Contract, which reimbursements paid to the CRA shall not exceed Fifteen Thousand
and No/100 Dollars ($15,000.00) per month and One Hundred Eighty Thousand and No/100
Dollars ($180,000.00) per year during construction of the Project. The Compliance Monitoring

unpaid amount and the enforcement of its lien rights as provided in Section 10 for non-payment
of any amount due pursuant to Section 7.9 or offset the amount due from the Incentive Payment,
and (h) Section 14, the CRA's remedies shall be limited to a suit to collect the unpaid amount and
enforcement of its lien rights as provided in Section 10 for non-payment of any amount due
pursuant to Section 14 or offset the amount due from the Incentive Payment. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, following Completion and payment to the CRA of all
amounts due under Sections 4.4, 4.5, 7.5.2, 7.5.3, 7.5.4, 7.9 and following any partial assignment
of the right to receive any Incentive Payment permitted by Section 12.2.2, the CRA shall only
exercise its remedies against a defaulting owner of the Project with respect to Incentive Payments
due to such defaulting owner. For example, if owner A owns the Office Component and has been
assigned the Incentive Payment for the Office Component and owner B owns the Retail Space and
has been assigned the Incentive Payment for the Retail Space, and owner A defaults in its
obligations under Section 14 of this Agreement and as a result of such default, the CRA has the
right to right to offset any amounts owed to the CRA under Section 14 of this Agreement from the
Incentive Payment, the CRA shall only offset amounts owed by owner A of the Office Component
against the Incentive Payment due to owner A of the Office Component and shall not offset any
amounts owed by owner A under Section 14 of this Agreement against the Incentive Payment due
to owner B or any other owner within portion of the Project. For the avoidance of any doubt if
Developer has not assigned the Incentive Payment with respect to a Component and the owner of
that Component defaults in its obligation under Section 14 of this Agreement the CRA shall have
the right to offset any amount owed to the CRA under Section 14 of this Agreement by the owner
23
#73289798_v4
of the Component who is in default solely against the Incentive Payment due Developer derived
from that Component.
12. PROJECT INCREMENTAL TIF.
12.1 Projected Incremental TIF. Developer acknowledges and agrees that
Developer shall bear the entire risk under this Covenant if the Project is valued at less than
anticipated by the Developer and/or is not developed within the time frame anticipated by the
Developer resulting in Incentive Payment payable by the CRA pursuant to this Covenant being
less than anticipated by Developer. Developer acknowledges and agrees that the CRA shall have
no liability to Developer if the Incentive Payment as estimated by Developer proves not to be
accurate for any reason and same shall not relieve the Developer or the CRA from their respective
obligations under this Covenant. Developer acknowledges and agrees that the CRA has made no
representation to the Developer regarding the amount of Incremental TIF which may be generated
by the Project and Developer is relying solely on its own projections of the Incremental TIF which
will be generated by the Project.
12.2 Development Incentive. Subject to CRA Budget Approval by the CRA
Board, City Approval and County Approval, on an annual basis in all cases, as an inducement to
develop the Project, the CRA agrees to pay Developer a percentage of Incremental TIF as follows:
12.2.1 Payment of Incremental TIF. On an annual basis for each calendar
year commencing after the Base Year and continuing throughout the Term of this Covenant,
subject to reduction under Section 12.2.2 and Section 12.2.3 below, the CRA shall pay to
Developer an incentive payment equal to Seventy percent (70%) of the Incremental TIF (the
"Incentive Payment"). All Incentive Payments shall be due and payable within thirty (30) days
of the CRA's receipt of Incremental TIF.
12.2.2 Incentive Payments After Assignment or Sale. Developer, in its sole
and absolute discretion, may collaterally assign and reassign the Incentive Payment or any portion
thereof to any lender providing financing for the Project or any Component thereof. Developer,
in its sole and absolute discretion, may also assign the Incentive Payment to any purchaser all of
Developer's entire interest in the Project or the purchaser of all of Developer's interest in any of
the Component(s) thereof or to a community development district acquiring any Component of
the Project at any time or from time to time upon written notice given to the CRA. For the
avoidance of any doubt, except with respect to a collateral assignment to a lender, Developer must
assign the entire Incentive TIF with respect to the entire Project or the entire Incentive TIF with
respect to any Component thereof which Developer has elected to assign in whole but not in part.
Partial assignments of the Incentive TIF to the owner of a Component are not permitted. Each
owner of a Component shall also have the right to assign the Incentive Payment with respect to
such Component to its successor owner of such Component in connection with a sale of such
Component. Any such notice of assignment shall indicate: (i) the name of the assignee and the
assignee's contact information, (ii) the Component of the Project transferred to the assignee for
which the assignee shall be entitled to the Incentive Payment for such Component, and (iii) any
other terms or provisions applicable thereto and mutually agreed to as between Developer and the
assignee (the "Assignment Notice"). Any such assignee must assume the obligation of the
Developer or such other assignor to utilize the Incentive Payment in accordance with the
24
#73289798_v4
provisions of Section 12.2.4 of this Agreement. Any assignment by Developer of its rights to the
Incentive Payment shall not release Developer of its duties and obligations under this Covenant.
12.2.3 Reductions of Incentive Payments. If the entire Project is not
Substantially Completed and on the Tax Rolls on or before January 1, 2024 as such date is extended
as a result of Unavoidable Delays, the Incentive Payments shall be reduced by ten percent (10%)
for or the Term of this Covenant. If the entire Project is not Substantially Completed and on the
Tax Rolls by January 1, 2025 as such date is extended as a result of Unavoidable Delays, the
Incentive Payment shall be reduced by twenty percent (20%) for the Term of this Covenant. If the
entire Project is not Substantially Completed by January 1, 2027 as such date is extended as a
result of Unavoidable Delays, the CRA shall not be obligated to make any Incentive Payments to
the Developer.
12.2.4 Limitation on Use of Incentive Payments. Incentive Payments paid
during the Term of this Covenant shall be used for the sole and exclusive purpose of paying
and/or reimbursing the costs of the construction, maintenance, operation, and debt service/debt
issuance costs of the Project, to the extent such payments are a permitted use of TIF Increment
pursuant to Chapter 163 Part III, Florida Statute.
13. SUBORDINATION OF INCENTIVE PAYMENT.
13.1 Developer acknowledges and agrees that the obligations of the CRA under
this Covenant to make Incentive Payments hereunder are junior and subordinate to the obligations
of the CRA to pay debt service with respect to any bonds now existing issued by the CRA or any
bonds now existing or hereafter issued by the City and secured a pledge by the CRA of tax
increment funds including, without limitation, bonds issued by the City pursuant to the terms of
the Interlocal Agency Agreement effective November 8, 2016 between the City, the CRA and the
South Florida Regional Transportation Authority obligating the CRA to pledge Incremental TIF
with respect to a bond issue by the City (collectively the "Bond Obligations") and junior and
subordinate to the payments to be made in connection with the grant to be made by the CRA in
connection with "Mama Hattie" and the Grant Agreement, as amended, by and between the City
and the CRA and with respect to the Gibson Park (collectively, the "Grant Obligations"), which
Grant Obligations are more fully described in Exhibit "G". Under no circumstances shall the
CRA be obligated to make Incentive Payments from its general revenues or any other sources if
Increment TIF is unavailable after the CRA makes all required payments with respect to the Bond
Obligations and the Grant Obligations. To the extent no Incremental TIF or only a portion of the
Incremental TIF is available to pay the CRA's obligations under this Covenant as a result of the
Bond Obligations and the Grant Obligations, the Incentive Payments shall be reduced to the
amount of Incremental TIF available, if any, and the shortfall shall be deferred to subsequent
year(s) to the extent available. If requested by the CRA, the Developer shall execute a
subordination agreement confirming that this Covenant is junior and subordinate to any Bond
Obligations and Grant Obligations within ten (10) business days of written request by the CRA.
13.2 Pledge of TIF Revenues. In the event the CRA issues additional bonds
subsequent to the Effective Date, the CRA covenants and agrees not to pledge the Incremental TIF
derived from the Project which will be payable to Developer under this Covenant as collateral for
such bonds.
25
#73289798_v4
13.3 Additional Agreements Regarding Use of Incremental TIF. Developer
acknowledges and agrees that nothing contained in this Covenant shall be deemed or construed to
prevent the CRA from entering into agreements similar to Section 12 of this Covenant (each a
"TIF Agreement") pursuant to which the CRA commits to pay such developers a portion of the
Incremental TIF generated from their project within the Redevelopment Area. Developer
acknowledges and agrees that Incremental TIF generated from other projects which are subject to
TIF Agreement(s) will not be available to make up for any shortfall under Section 13.1.
13.4 Penalties. To the extent Developer fails to pay to the CRA any amount due
under this Covenant, the CRA may set off the amount due against the Incentive Payment due
within thirty (30) days of the date due under this Covenant.
14. TRANSFER FEE.
14.1 Transfer Prior to Completion. If, at any time prior to Completion (i) the
Developer sells the entire Project to an unrelated third party purchaser in an arm's length
transaction; (ii) the Developer sells the Retail Space, the Office Component, the Parking Garage
or the Residential Components, or any of them or any combination thereof, to an unrelated third
party purchaser in an arm's length transaction; or (iii) a Change of Control occurs, then the
Developer shall pay to the CRA a fee in an amount equal to one and one-half percent (1.5%) of
the Gross Sales Price simultaneously with the closing of such sale or Change of Control. For the
avoidance of doubt, if Developer sells the Retail Space, the Office Component, the Parking Garage
or the Residential Components, or any of them or any combination thereof, the provisions of this
Section 14.1 shall apply to each such transaction until Completion and the fee to the CRA of one
and one-half percent (1.5%) of the Gross Sales Price shall apply to each such transaction until
Completion; provided, however, in no event shall any such transfer fee be payable in connection
with the transfer of the Parking Garage to any community development district established with
respect to the Property.
14.2 Transfer After Completion. If, at any time after Completion (i) Developer
sells the entire Project to an unrelated third party purchaser in an arm's length transaction; (ii) the
Developer sells the Retail Space, the Office Component, the Parking Garage or the Residential
Components, or any of them or any combination thereof, to an unrelated an third party purchaser
in an arm's length transaction, or (iii) a Change of Control occurs, then the Developer shall pay
the CRA a fee in the amount of one and one-half percent (1.5%) of the Gross Sales. Price
simultaneously with the closing of such sale or Change of Control. For the avoidance of doubt, if
Developer sells the Retail Space, the Office Component, the Parking Garage, or the Residential
Components, together or in a series of transactions, the one and one-half percent (1.5%) of the
Gross Sales Price shall apply to each transaction until Developer has no further interest in the
Project; provided, however, in no event shall any such transfer fee be payable in connection with
the transfer of the Parking Garage to any community development district established with respect
to the Property.
14.3 Related Transfers. For the avoidance of any doubt, should Developer
transfer its interest in the Project in whole or part to a related entity or to a third party purchaser
(including without limitation any tax -credit investor) in transaction which is not considered an
arm's length transaction, no transfer fee shall be payable, provided, however, the obligations under
26
#73289798_v4
this Section 14 shall be binding upon such successors and assigns and such transferee shall be
deemed the "Developer" for the purposes of this Section 14. For the avoidance of doubt, should
any transfer of membership interests in Developer occur, in whole or part to a related entity
(including without limitation to direct or indirect members of Developer), no transfer fee shall be
payable in connection with such transfer.
14.4 Failure to Pay. If Developer fails to pay the CRA any fees due pursuant to
this Section 14 when due, such fee shall bear interest at the rate of twelve percent (12%) until paid.
14.5 Undisclosed Transfer. If a Change of Control or sale occurs and Developer
fails to disclose such sale or Change of Control to the CRA and the CRA discovers that Developer
has breached the terms of provisions of this Section 14, the applicable fees due the CRA pursuant
to this Section 14 shall triple.
14.6 One Transfer Fee. For the avoidance of doubt, Developer shall only be
required to pay one transfer fee on each portion of the Project, whether such transfer fee is paid
prior to or after Completion.
14.7 Transfers to Lenders. For the avoidance of doubt, the placing of a mortgage
lien, assignment of leases and rents or security interest on or pertaining to the Property, the Project
or any Component, any pledge, collateral assignment or encumbrance of the direct or indirect
membership interests of Developer as security for any financing of the Property, Project or any
Component thereof, or any transfer pursuant to or in lieu of a foreclosure or any exercise of
remedies (including, without limitation, foreclosure) under any mortgage on the Property, the
Project or any Component thereof or under any pledge, collateral assignment or encumbrance of
the membership interests of Developer as security for any financing of the Property, the Project or
any Component thereof (each an "Enforcement Action"), in each case shall not be deemed a
transfer requiring payment of any transfer fee hereunder.
14.8 In the event of an Enforcement Action with respect to the Property, the
Project or any Component thereof as described in Section 14.7, the party which acquires the
interest of the Developer in the Property, the Project or any Component thereof shall be deemed
the "Developer" for purposes of this Section 14 and the provisions of this Section 14 (including
without limitation the provisions of Section 14.3) shall apply with respect to any subsequent
transfer of the Property, the Project or any Component thereof acquired by such party in the
Enforcement Action. A "Change of Control" shall be deemed to have occurred if such party
acquiring the interest of the Developer through an Enforcement Action no longer controls all
decision making by Developer, and the fees described in this Section 14 shall be due and payable
at that time with respect to the Property, the Project or any Component thereof acquired by such
party in the Enforcement Action upon such Change of Control.
15. CHALLENGES.
15.1 No Liability. Developer hereby forever waives and releases the CRA from
any liability whatsoever, now or hereafter arising in connection with any challenge to Section 12
of this Covenant by a third party and covenant and agree not to initiate any legal proceedings
against the CRA in connection with any challenges to Section 12 of this Covenant, other than as a
27
#73289798_v4
result of a default by the CRA with respect to its obligations under this Covenant, for which
Developer shall have the right to sue the CRA for specific enforcement of the CRA's obligations
to pay any unpaid Incentive Payments.
15.2 Duty to Defend. In the event of any challenge to Section 12 of this
Covenant, any party in interest, at its or their sole cost and expense, may defend any such challenge
by a third party. The CRA shall cooperate with Developer and, if necessary, participate in the
defense of such challenge provided Developer pays the cost of such defense.
16. APPROVAL OF CRA BUDGET. Developer acknowledges that no voter approval
was obtained in connection with this Covenant and that neither the City nor the County has
approved Section 12 this Covenant. In the event Section 12 of this Covenant is determined to be
unenforceable in whole or in part as a result of (i) the multi -year CRA commitment regarding the
Incentive Payments or (ii) the failure to obtain CRA Board Approval, City Approval and County
Approval of the CRA Budget including a line item for the Incentive Payment on an annual basis,
Developer acknowledges and agrees that the CRA shall have no liability to Developer arising
under Section 12 of this Covenant. Developer acknowledges that this provision is a material
inducement for the CRA to enter into this Covenant.
17. COUNTY APPROVAL. Developer acknowledges that this Covenant has not been
submitted to the County Commission for review or approval and that the Incentive Payments
contemplated by this Covenant will be included in the annual budget (subject to CRA Board
Approval) submitted by the CRA to the City for approval and submitted by the CRA to the County
for approval, once the CRA Budget is approved by the CRA Board and City Approval is obtained.
The CRA shall use commercially reasonable efforts to procure the City Approval and the County
Approval of the CRA Budget. The CRA shall have no liability to Developer under Section 12 of
this Covenant in the event that City Approval and County Approval are not obtained.
18. NON -RECOURSE. This Covenant is non -recourse to the CRA. In the event of a
breach of this Covenant by the CRA, Developer (and only the Developer or any impacted
Assignee) may seek specific performance of this Agreement or bring an action at law which shall
be limited to recovery of any Incentive Payments due under the terms of this Covenant and in no
event shall Developer or any assignee have the right to seek damages against the CRA. Except
with respect to the CRA's rights to seek specific perfotniance of this Covenant and the CRA's
right to sue to collect any payments due from Developer to the CRA pursuant to this Covenant,
the CRA shall not have the right to seek damages against Developer.
19. RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PARTIES. This Covenant does not evidence the
creation of, nor shall it be construed as creating, a partnership or joint venture between the CRA
and Developer. No party can create any obligations or responsibility on behalf of the others or
bind the others in any manner. Each party is acting for its own account, and it has made its own
independent decisions to enter into this Covenant and as to whether the same is appropriate or
proper for it based upon its own judgment and upon advice from such advisors as it has deemed
necessary. Each party acknowledges that none of the other parties hereto is acting as a fiduciary
for or an adviser to it in respect of this Covenant or any responsibility or obligation contemplated
herein. Developer further represent and acknowledge that no one was paid a fee, commission, gift
28
#73289798_v4
or other consideration by such party or such party's agent as an inducement to entering into this
Covenant.
20. BUDGET & APPROPRIATION. CRA covenants and agrees to budget the
Incentive Payment as a line item in its annual operating budget subject to CRA Board Approval,
City Approval and County Approval. CRA further covenants to use commercially reasonable
efforts to procure annual approval of its operating budget, including the Incentive Payment and as
contemplated by this Covenant, by both the City and County.
21. CONSULTANT AND PROFESSIONAL COMPENSATION. Developer has
retained consultants and professionals to assist Developer with the negotiation and execution of
this Covenant, and Developer may compensate those consultants and professionals at their
standard hourly rate for services performed, or any other method of compensation that is
considered standard and reasonable for that particular service. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, in no event shall Developer compensate any such consultant or
professional in any form that would be deemed a "bonus," "success fee" or "finder's fee" in
exchange for the CRA Board's approval of this Covenant.
22. NET OFFICE/POLICE SUBSTATION/CRA OFFICES. Developer covenants and
agrees to provide approximately one thousand (1,000) square feet of rentable space substantially
in the location shown on Exhibit "H" attached hereto (the "Office Space") with vehicular access
as shown on Exhibit "H", to be utilized by the City as either a Neighborhood Enhancement Team
(NET) office or a police substation or utilized by the CRA, at the option of the CRA. The
Developer shall have no obligation to build out the Office Space and possession of the Office
Space shall be provided to the City or the CRA, as determined by the CRA, upon Completion.
The Developer and the City or the CRA, as applicable, shall execute a lease for the Office Space
utilizing the standard form lease utilized by the Developer for the Project, subject to such changes
required by the City Attorney and provisions customarily included in City leases. The lease will
be for a total rent of One Dollar ($1.00) per year with no pass through expenses of any kind or
nature including without limitation, common area maintenance expenses, tax expenses, insurance
expenses, utility expenses or management fees. The term of the lease shall be for the life of the
CRA.
23. RETAIL OPPORTUNITY. Developer covenants and agrees to make one
retail/office space available containing approximately one thousand one hundred (1,100) rentable
square feet in the location shown on Exhibit "I" attached hereto for a CRA supported business
(the "CRA Space"). The CRA shall identify the proposed tenant and the proposed tenant shall
lease the CRA Space for fifty percent (50%) of the average total rent, including escalation, of
similar first floor leased space in the Project fronting Sawyer's Walk, plus pass through expenses
and operating expenses. Rent shall be paid monthly in advance. If the lease terminates for any
reason the CRA shall propose a replacement tenant for the CRA Space which the Developer shall
lease on the same teiius and conditions. The procedure shall continue for the entire life of the
CRA so that the CRA Space is always leased to a CRA sponsored tenant. For the avoidance of
doubt, any tenant of the CRA Space will be subject to the same exclusive use restrictions as other
tenants in the Project.
29
#73289798_v4

and every six (6) months thereafter for a period of five (5) years Developer, in coordination

residents of the Redevelopment Area. No less than thirty (30) days prior to each Job Fair the
Developer shall place a full -page weekly advertisement in the Miami Times Newspaper about the

Director are not able to resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days. The decision of the CRA Board
shall be binding upon the parties. Any amount of Laborer Non -Compliance Funds not paid when
due shall bear interest at 12% per annum from the date due until paid.
7.5.4 Penalties for Non -Compliance with Skilled Laborer Participation
Requirement with respect to the Project.
a. To the extent Developer fails to comply with the Skilled
Laborer Participation Requirement for the Project, Developer shall pay to the CRA as a penalty
for such non-compliance (a) Ten Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($10,000.00) for each one half of

7.6 Failure to Comply with Minimum Hourly Construction Wage Rate
Requirement. In the event that any Contractor fails to pay the Minimum Hourly Construction
Wage Rate to any worker working on the construction of the Project, which failure is reported by
such worker to the Executive Director, the Executive Director shall investigate the report and if
the Executive Director, based upon his investigation confirms such non-compliance with the
Minimum Hourly Construction Wage Rate requirement, and that the error on the part of the
19
#73699420_v3
Contractor was not a de minimis miscalculation of the same, the Developer shall pay to the affected
worker(s) as a penalty the Minimum Hourly Construction Wage Rate for every hour for which
such worker was underpaid plus a twenty percent (20%) penalty (collectively the "Construction
Wage Rate Penalty"). Developer shall not receive the benefit of any credit for hourly wage
payments made to such worker that did not comply with the Minimum Hourly Construction Wage
Rate requirement ("Erroneous Hourly Wage Payment"). By way of illustration, if a worker was
paid an hourly rate of Ten and No/100 Dollars ($10.00) and no health benefits were provided for
one hundred (100) hours in lieu of the Minimum Hourly Construction Wage Rate, the Construction
Wage Rate Penalty would be calculated as follows:
Construction Wage Rate Penalty = [(Minimum Hourly Construction Labor Rate times
the Total Hours Worked) * times 120%] equals the Construction Wage Rate Penalty, which
amount would be in addition to the Erroneous Hourly Wage Payment previously paid to
such worker.
For example if the Minimum Hourly Constructions Wage Rate is $15.83 per hour because
no qualified health care benefits are paid and if the worker was paid ten and no/100 Dollars
($10.00) an hour and no health benefits paid and the worker worked for one hundred (100)
hours, the Construction Wage Penalty would be:
$15.83 x 120% x 100 hours = $1,899.60 which amount would be in addition to the
Erroneous Hourly Wage Payment previously paid to such worker.
Such Construction Wage Rate Penalty shall be due from the Developer to the underpaid worker(s)
within thirty (30) days after written demand from the Executive Director. Developer shall have
the right to dispute such demand and the findings of the Executive Director. If the Executive
Director and the Developer are not able to resolve their dispute within thirty (30) days the dispute
shall be submitted to the CRA Board for determination which determination shall be binding on
the parties.
The Construction Wage Rate Penalty is not intended to waive any worker's rights to seek any and
all available legal relief available under applicable law. In the event a worker is granted a monetary
award against the Developer or its Contractor(s) in some other forum ("Monetary Award"), any
Construction Wage Rate Penalty otherwise due and owing shall be reduced by the amount of any
such Monetary Award previously paid to such worker.
7.7 Failure to Comply with Responsible Wage Requirement. In the event that
any Contractor fails to pay the Responsible Wage to any worker working on the construction of
the Project within the labor classifications set forth in Sections 7.4 (i) (a) and 7.4 (i) (b), above,
which failure is reported by such worker to the Executive Director, the Executive Director shall
investigate the report and if the Executive Director, based upon his investigation, confirms such
non-compliance with the Responsible Wage requirement, and that the error on the part of the
Contractor was not a de minimis miscalculation of the same, the Developer shall pay to the affected
worker(s) as a penalty the Responsible Wage for every hour for which such worker was underpaid
plus a twenty percent (20%) penalty (the "Responsible Wage Penalty"). Developer shall not
receive the benefit of any credit for hourly wage payments made to such worker that did not
comply with the Responsible Wage requirement ("Erroneous Responsible Wage Payment"). By
way of illustration, if a worker was paid an hourly rate of Twenty and No/100 Dollars ($20.00)
20
#73699420_v3
and no health benefits were provided for one hundred (100) hours in lieu of the Responsible Wage
of, for example, $38.46, plus benefits shown on the Schedule, the Responsible Wage Penalty
would be calculated as follows:
Responsible Wage Penalty = [(Responsible Wage, including all required benefits, times
the Total Hours Worked) times 120%] equals the Responsible Wage Penalty, which
amount would be in addition to the Erroneous Responsible Wage Payment previously paid
to such worker.
For example if the Responsible Wage is $38.46 plus benefits shown on the Schedule and
the worker was paid Twenty Dollars ($20.00) an hour and no benefits were paid and the
worker worked one hundred (100) hours, the Responsible Wage Penalty would be:
$38.46 + the amount of benefits shown on the Schedule (assumed to total $6.00 for this
example) x 120% x 100 hours = $5,335.20 which amount would be in addition to the
Erroneous Responsible Wage Payment previously paid to such worker.
Such Responsible Wage Penalty shall be due from the Developer to the underpaid workers(s)
within thirty (30) days after written demand from the Executive Director. Developer shall have
the right to dispute such demand and the findings of the Executive Director. If the Executive
Director and the Developer are not able to resolve their dispute within thirty (30) days the dispute
shall be submitted to the CRA Board from for resolution which resolution shall be binding on the
parties.
The Responsible Wage Penalty is not intended to waive any Electrical Worker's or Plumbing
Worker's rights to seek any and all available relief available under applicable law. In the event
any Electrical Worker or Plumbing Worker is granted a Monetary Award against the Developer or
its Contractor(s) in some other forum, any Responsible Wage Penalty otherwise due and owing
shall be reduced by the amount of any such Monetary Award previously paid to such Electrical
Worker or Plumbing Worker.
7.8 Employment Advertisement & Notice. With respect to the construction of
the Project, Developer shall:
(i) Require its General Contractor and all subcontractors to
electronically post job opportunities in established job outreach websites and organizations,
including, without limitation, CareerSource South Florida, and similar programs in order to attract
as many eligible applicants for such jobs as reasonably possible;
(ii) Require the General Contractor to place a full -page weekly
advertisement in the Miami Times newspaper to inform residents of available job opportunities
and any upcoming job fairs not less than thirty (30) days prior to and through the date of

through other job outreach websites, organizations, and efforts referenced hereinabove; and
(iii) Require the General Contractor to place weekly radio
commercials on either Hot 105 or 99JAMZ to infoinu residents of available job opportunities and
21
#73699420_v3
upcoming job fairs not less than thirty (30) days prior to and through the date of construction
commencement of the Project.
7.9 Compliance Monitoring Contract. Executive Director shall select and
retain, prior to the issuance of any construction peilnits for the Project, a firm to review the
Participation Reports submitted by the Developer and audit the same, as well as audit Developer's
compliance with this Agreement (the "Compliance Monitoring Contract"). The Developer shall
reimburse the CRA on a monthly basis for the costs incurred by the CRA under the Compliance
Monitoring Contract, which reimbursements paid to the CRA shall not exceed Fifteen Thousand
and No/100 Dollars ($15,000.00) per month and One Hundred Eighty Thousand and No/100
Dollars ($180,000.00) per year during construction of the Project. The Compliance Monitoring
Contract shall commence upon the earlier to occur of (i) thirty (30) days prior to the
commencement of construction of the Project or (ii) within ten (10) days of this issuance of any

7.10.2 Permanent Job Opportunities. The Developer shall broadly
disseminate information regarding job opportunities at the Project for local residents and
businesses within Overtown post -construction, including newly generated trade and service related
jobs upon completion of the Project, including, without limitation, hosting at least one (1) job fair
within Overtown upon completion of the Project.
7.11 Term. The provisions of this Article 7 shall run with the Property and be
binding upon Developer and its successors and assigns until (a) Completion of the entire Project,
(b) payment of all amounts, if any, due from the Developer to the CRA in accordance with Sections
4 and Section 7 hereof, (c) the payment of all amounts that may become due to workers pursuant
to Sections 7.6 and 7.7 hereof, and (d) the completion of the job fair required by Section 7.10.2.
8. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO COMMENCEMENT OF CONSTRUCTION.
The Developer shall not commence construction of the Project contemplated by this Covenant
until the satisfaction or waiver by the Executive Director of the following conditions precedent
(the "Construction Conditions Precedent"):
8.1 The Executive Director has approved the format for the Participation
Reports.
8.2 The Developer has complied with the provisions of Section 5 of this
Agreement.
9. RELOCATION OF TREES.
22
#73699420_v3
9.1 In the event Developer is required or relocate or replace any trees currently
located on the Property pursuant to Chapter 17 of the City Code, Developer shall coordinate with
the Executive Director to cause the trees to be relocated or replaced within the Redevelopment
Area in a location approved by the Executive Director.
10. LIEN RIGHTS. If Developer fails to pay any amount due the CRA pursuant to
Sections 4.4, 4.5, 7.5.2, 7.5.3, 7.5.4, 7.9 and 14 such unpaid amounts shall bear interest at twelve
percent (12%) per annum from the date due until paid and shall be secured by this Covenant having
priority from the date of recording this Covenant. If any amounts remain unpaid for more than
thirty (30) days after the Developer's receipt of written notice from the CRA as to such late
payment, the CRA may foreclose its lien rights against the Property in the same manner as a
mortgage would be foreclosed. Upon the request of the Developer upon payment of each
applicable amount due under Sections 4.5, 4.6, 7.5.2, 7.5.3, 7.5.4, 7.9, and 14 the CRA shall
execute and promptly deliver to the Developer a recordable instrument reflecting the release of the
applicable payment obligation. If any payment due pursuant to this Section 10 is not made within
thirty (30) days of when due the CRA may offset the amounts due against the Incentive Payment.
11. DEFAULT AND REMEDIES. If Developer fails to comply with any of the teiiiis
and provisions of this Covenant, including, without limitation the payment of money or the
performance of any other obligation under this Covenant which failure is not cured by the
Developer within thirty (30) days of written notice from the CRA, or, if by reason of the nature of
such default, the same cannot be cured within thirty (30) days following receipt by Developer of
written demand from the CRA to do so, Developer fails to commence curing such default within
such thirty (30) days following such written notice, or having so commenced, shall fail thereafter
to continue with diligence the curing thereof and, in any event, fails to cure such default within a
reasonable time after receipt of notice of such default, whichever is earlier, the CRA may pursue
all remedies available at law or in equity to enforce the terms and provisions of this Covenant,
including, without limitation, specific performance; provided, however, with respect to
Developer's failure to comply with the terms of (a) Section 4.1, as may be extended pursuant to
Sections 4.2 and 4.3, the CRA's remedies shall be limited to a suit to collect the unpaid amount
and the enforcement of its lien rights as provided in Section 10, for non-payment of any amount
due pursuant to the terms of Sections 4.4 and 4.5 or offset the amount due from the Incentive
Payments, (b) Section 7.2.1, the CRA's remedies shall be limited to a suit to collect the unpaid
amount and the enforcement of its lien rights as provided in Section 10 for non-payment of any
amount due pursuant to Section 7.5.3, or offset the amount due from the Incentive Payment, (c)
Section 7.2.3, the CRA's remedies shall be limited to a suit to collect the unpaid amount and the
enforcement of its lien rights as provided in Section 10 for non-payment of any amount due
pursuant to the terms of Section 7.5.4, or offset the amount due from the Incentive Payment, (d)
Section 7.2.3, the CRA's remedies shall be limited to a suit to collect the unpaid amount and the
enforcement of its lien rights as provided in Section 10 for non-payment of any amount due
pursuant to the terms of Section 7.5.2, or offset the amount due from the Incentive Payment, (e)
Section 7.3, the CRA's sole remedies will be to enforce specific performance of the terms of
Section 7.6, (f) Section 7.4, the CRA's sole remedy will be to enforce specific performance of the
teiiiis of Section 7.7, (g) Section 7.9, the CRA's remedies shall be limited to a suit to collect the
unpaid amount and the enforcement of its lien rights as provided in Section 10 for non-payment
of any amount due pursuant to Section 7.9 or offset the amount due from the Incentive Payment,
and (h) Section 14, the CRA's remedies shall be limited to a suit to collect the unpaid amount and
23
#73699420_v3
enforcement of its lien rights as provided in Section 10 for non-payment of any amount due
pursuant to Section 14 or offset the amount due from the Incentive Payment. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, following Completion and payment to the CRA of all
amounts due under Sections 4.4, 4.5, 7.5.2, 7.5.3, 7.5.4, 7.9 and following any partial assignment
of the right to receive any Incentive Payment peimitted by Section 12.2.2, the CRA shall only
exercise its remedies against a defaulting owner of the Project with respect to Incentive Payments
due to such defaulting owner. For example, if owner A owns the Office Component and has been
assigned the Incentive Payment for the Office Component and owner B owns the Retail Space and
has been assigned the Incentive Payment for the Retail Space, and owner A defaults in its
obligations under Section 14 of this Agreement and as a result of such default, the CRA has the
right to right to offset any amounts owed to the CRA under Section 14 of this Agreement from the
Incentive Payment, the CRA shall only offset amounts owed by owner A of the Office Component
against the Incentive Payment due to owner A of the Office Component and shall not offset any
amounts owed by owner A under Section 14 of this Agreement against the Incentive Payment due
to owner B or any other owner within portion of the Project. For the avoidance of any doubt if
Developer has not assigned the Incentive Payment with respect to a Component and the owner of
that Component defaults in its obligation under Section 14 of this Agreement the CRA shall have
the right to offset any amount owed to the CRA under Section 14 of this Agreement by the owner
of the Component who is in default solely against the Incentive Payment due Developer derived
from that Component.
12. PROJECT INCREMENTAL TIF.
12.1 Projected Incremental TIF. Developer acknowledges and agrees that
Developer shall bear the entire risk under this Covenant if the Project is valued at less than
anticipated by the Developer and/or is not developed within the time frame anticipated by the
Developer resulting in Incentive Payment payable by the CRA pursuant to this Covenant being
less than anticipated by Developer. Developer acknowledges and agrees that the CRA shall have
no liability to Developer if the Incentive Payment as estimated by Developer proves not to be
accurate for any reason and same shall not relieve the Developer or the CRA from their respective
obligations under this Covenant. Developer acknowledges and agrees that the CRA has made no
representation to the Developer regarding the amount of Incremental TIF which may be generated
by the Project and Developer is relying solely on its own projections of the Incremental TIF which
will be generated by the Project.
12.2 Development Incentive. Subject to CRA Budget Approval by the CRA
Board, City Approval and County Approval, on an annual basis in all cases, as an inducement to
develop the Project, the CRA agrees to pay Developer a percentage of Incremental TIF as follows:
12.2.1 Payment of Incremental TIF. On an annual basis for each calendar
year commencing after the Base Year and continuing throughout the Term of this Covenant,
subject to reduction under Section 12.2.2 and Section 12.2.3 below, the CRA shall pay to
Developer an incentive payment equal to Seventy percent (70%) of the Incremental TIF (the
"Incentive Payment"). All Incentive Payments shall be due and payable within thirty (30) days
of the CRA's receipt of Incremental TIF.
24
#73699420_v3
12.2.2 Incentive Payments After Assignment or Sale. Developer, in its sole
and absolute discretion, may collaterally assign and reassign the Incentive Payment or any portion
thereof to any lender providing financing for the Project or any Component thereof. Developer,
in its sole and absolute discretion, may also assign the Incentive Payment to any purchaser all of
Developer's entire interest in the Project or the purchaser of all of Developer's interest in any of
the Component(s) thereof or to a community development district acquiring any Component of
the Project at any time or from time to time upon written notice given to the CRA. For the
avoidance of any doubt, except with respect to a collateral assignment to a lender, Developer must
assign the entire Incentive TIF with respect to the entire Project or the entire Incentive TIF with
respect to any Component thereof which Developer has elected to assign in whole but not in part.
Partial assignments of the Incentive TIF to the owner of a Component are not permitted. Each
owner of a Component shall also have the right to assign the Incentive Payment with respect to
such Component to its successor owner of such Component in connection with a sale of such
Component. Any such notice of assignment shall indicate: (i) the name of the assignee and the
assignee's contact information, (ii) the Component of the Project transferred to the assignee for
which the assignee shall be entitled to the Incentive Payment for such Component, and (iii) any
other terms or provisions applicable thereto and mutually agreed to as between Developer and the
assignee (the "Assignment Notice"). Any such assignee must assume the obligation of the
Developer or such other assignor to utilize the Incentive Payment in accordance with the
provisions of Section 12.2.4 of this Agreement. Any assignment by Developer of its rights to the
Incentive Payment shall not release Developer of its duties and obligations under this Covenant.
12.2.3 Reductions of Incentive Payments. If the entire Project is not
Substantially Completed and on the Tax Rolls on or before January 1, 2024 as such date is extended
as a result of Unavoidable Delays, the Incentive Payments shall be reduced by ten percent (10%)
for or the Term of this Covenant. If the entire Project is not Substantially Completed and on the
Tax Rolls by January 1, 2025 as such date is extended as a result of Unavoidable Delays, the
Incentive Payment shall be reduced by twenty percent (20%) for the Term of this Covenant. If the
entire Project is not Substantially Completed by January 1, 2027 as such date is extended as a
result of Unavoidable Delays, the CRA shall not be obligated to make any Incentive Payments to
the Developer.
12.2.4 Limitation on Use of Incentive Payments. Incentive Payments paid
during the Term of this Covenant shall be used for the sole and exclusive purpose of paying
and/or reimbursing the costs of the construction, maintenance, operation, and debt service/debt
issuance costs of the Project, to the extent such payments are a permitted use of TIF Increment
pursuant to Chapter 163 Part III, Florida Statute.
13. SUBORDINATION OF INCENTIVE PAYMENT.
13.1 Developer acknowledges and agrees that the obligations of the CRA under
this Covenant to make Incentive Payments hereunder are junior and subordinate to the obligations
of the CRA to pay debt service with respect to any bonds now existing issued by the CRA or any
bonds now existing or hereafter issued by the City and secured a pledge by the CRA of tax
increment funds including, without limitation, bonds issued by the City pursuant to the teiius of
the Interlocal Agency Agreement effective November 8, 2016 between the City, the CRA and the
South Florida Regional Transportation Authority obligating the CRA to pledge Incremental TIF
25
#73699420_v3
with respect to a bond issue by the City (collectively the "Bond Obligations") and junior and
subordinate to the payments to be made in connection with the grant to be made by the CRA in
connection with "Mama Hattie" and the Grant Agreement, as amended, by and between the City
and the CRA and with respect to the Gibson Park (collectively, the "Grant Obligations"), which
Grant Obligations are more fully described in Exhibit "G". Under no circumstances shall the
CRA be obligated to make Incentive Payments from its general revenues or any other sources if
Increment TIF is unavailable after the CRA makes all required payments with respect to the Bond
Obligations and the Grant Obligations. To the extent no Incremental TIF or only a portion of the
Incremental TIF is available to pay the CRA's obligations under this Covenant as a result of the
Bond Obligations and the Grant Obligations, the Incentive Payments shall be reduced to the
amount of Incremental TIF available, if any, and the shortfall shall be deferred to subsequent
year(s) to the extent available. If requested by the CRA, the Developer shall execute a
subordination agreement confirming that this Covenant is junior and subordinate to any Bond
Obligations and Grant Obligations within ten (10) business days of written request by the CRA.
13.2 Pledge of TIF Revenues. In the event the CRA issues additional bonds
subsequent to the Effective Date, the CRA covenants and agrees not to pledge the Incremental TIF
derived from the Project which will be payable to Developer under this Covenant as collateral for
such bonds.
13.3 Additional Agreements Regarding Use of Incremental TIF. Developer
acknowledges and agrees that nothing contained in this Covenant shall be deemed or construed to
prevent the CRA from entering into agreements similar to Section 12 of this Covenant (each a
"TIF Agreement") pursuant to which the CRA commits to pay such developers a portion of the
Incremental TIF generated from their project within the Redevelopment Area. Developer
acknowledges and agrees that Incremental TIF generated from other projects which are subject to
TIF Agreement(s) will not be available to make up for any shortfall under Section 13.1.
13.4 Penalties. To the extent Developer fails to pay to the CRA any amount due
under this Covenant, the CRA may set off the amount due against the Incentive Payment due
within thirty (30) days of the date due under this Covenant.
14. TRANSFER FEE.
14.1 Transfer Prior to Completion. If, at any time prior to Completion (i) the
Developer sells the entire Project to an unrelated third party purchaser in an arm's length
transaction; (ii) the Developer sells the Retail Space, the Office Component, the Parking Garage
or the Residential Components, or any of them or any combination thereof, to an unrelated third
party purchaser in an arm's length transaction; or (iii) a Change of Control occurs, then the
Developer shall pay to the CRA a fee in an amount equal to one and one-half percent (1.5%) of
the Gross Sales Price simultaneously with the closing of such sale or Change of Control. For the
avoidance of doubt, if Developer sells the Retail Space, the Office Component, the Parking Garage
or the Residential Components, or any of them or any combination thereof, the provisions of this
Section 14.1 shall apply to each such transaction until Completion and the fee to the CRA of one
and one-half percent (1.5%) of the Gross Sales Price shall apply to each such transaction until
Completion; provided, however, in no event shall any such transfer fee be payable in connection
26
#73699420_v3
with the transfer of the Parking Garage to any community development district established with
respect to the Property.
14.2 Transfer After Completion. If, at any time after Completion (i) Developer
sells the entire Project to an unrelated third party purchaser in an arm's length transaction; (ii) the
Developer sells the Retail Space, the Office Component, the Parking Garage or the Residential
Components, or any of them or any combination thereof, to an unrelated an third party purchaser
in an arm's length transaction, or (iii) a Change of Control occurs, then the Developer shall pay
the CRA a fee in the amount of one and one-half percent (1.5%) of the Gross Sales Price
simultaneously with the closing of such sale or Change of Control. For the avoidance of doubt, if
Developer sells the Retail Space, the Office Component, the Parking Garage, or the Residential
Components, together or in a series of transactions, the one and one-half percent (1.5%) of the
Gross Sales Price shall apply to each transaction until Developer has no further interest in the
Project; provided, however, in no event shall any such transfer fee be payable in connection with
the transfer of the Parking Garage to any community development district established with respect
to the Property.
14.3 Related Transfers. For the avoidance of any doubt, should Developer
transfer its interest in the Project in whole or part to a related entity or to a third party purchaser
(including without limitation any tax -credit investor) in transaction which is not considered an
arm's length transaction, no transfer fee shall be payable, provided, however, the obligations under
this Section 14 shall be binding upon such successors and assigns and such transferee shall be
deemed the "Developer" for the purposes of this Section 14. For the avoidance of doubt, should
any transfer of membership interests in Developer, Member and/or Holdings occur, in whole or
part to a related entity (including without limitation to direct or indirect members of Developer,
Member or Holdings), no transfer fee shall be payable in connection with such transfer.
14.4 Failure to Pay. If Developer fails to pay the CRA any fees due pursuant to
this Section 14 when due, such fee shall bear interest at the rate of twelve percent (12%) until paid.
14.5 Undisclosed Transfer. If a Change of Control or sale occurs and Developer
fails to disclose such sale or Change of Control to the CRA and the CRA discovers that Developer
has breached the terms of provisions of this Section 14, the applicable fees due the CRA pursuant
to this Section 14 shall triple.
14.6 One Transfer Fee. For the avoidance of doubt, Developer shall only be
required to pay one transfer fee on each portion of the Project, whether such transfer fee is paid
prior to or after Completion.
14.7 Transfers to Lenders. For the avoidance of doubt, the placing of a mortgage
lien, assignment of leases and rents or security interest on or pertaining to the Property, the Project
or any Component, or any pledge, collateral assignment or encumbrance of the direct or indirect
membership interests of Developer as security for any financing of the Property, Project or any
Component thereof, or any pledge, collateral assignment or encumbrance of the direct or indirect
membership interests in Member as security for the financing of the Property, the Project or any
Component thereof, or any pledge, collateral assignment or encumbrance of the direct or indirect

was obtained in connection with this Covenant and that neither the City nor the County has

breach of this Covenant by the CRA, Developer (and only the Developer or any impacted
Assignee) may seek specific performance of this Agreement or bring an action at law which shall
be limited to recovery of any Incentive Payments due under the terms of this Covenant and in no
event shall Developer or any assignee have the right to seek damages against the CRA. Except
with respect to the CRA's rights to seek specific perfoiivance of this Covenant and the CRA's
right to sue to collect any payments due from Developer to the CRA pursuant to this Covenant,
the CRA shall not have the right to seek damages against Developer.
19. RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PARTIES. This Covenant does not evidence the
creation of, nor shall it be construed as creating, a partnership or joint venture between the CRA
and Developer. No party can create any obligations or responsibility on behalf of the others or
bind the others in any manner. Each party is acting for its own account, and it has made its own
independent decisions to enter into this Covenant and as to whether the same is appropriate or
proper for it based upon its own judgment and upon advice from such advisors as it has deemed
necessary. Each party acknowledges that none of the other parties hereto is acting as a fiduciary
for or an adviser to it in respect of this Covenant or any responsibility or obligation contemplated

retained consultants and professionals to assist Developer with the negotiation and execution of
this Covenant, and Developer may compensate those consultants and professionals at their
standard hourly rate for services performed, or any other method of compensation that is
considered standard and reasonable for that particular service. Notwithstanding anything to the

exchange for the CRA Board's approval of this Covenant.

agrees to provide approximately one thousand (1,000) square feet of rentable space substantially

reason the CRA shall propose a replacement tenant for the CRA Space which the Developer shall
lease on the same terms and conditions. The procedure shall continue for the entire life of the
CRA so that the CRA Space is always leased to a CRA sponsored tenant. For the avoidance of
doubt, any tenant of the CRA Space will be subject to the same exclusive use restrictions as other
tenants in the Project.

combined marginal United States federal, state and local blended tax rates in
ADSLLP-00077196.3 9

such Member or as a result of such Member's participation in the Company. If
and to the extent that the Company shall be required to withhold or pay any such
withholding or other taxes, such Member shall be deemed for all purposes of this
Agreement to have received a distribution from the Company as of the time such
withholding or other tax is required to be paid, which distribution shall be deemed
to be a distribution of Distributable Cash pursuant to Section 15(a) with respect to
such Member's Membership Interests to the extent that such Member (or any
successor to such Member's Membership Interests) would have received a
distribution but for such withholding. To the extent that the aggregate of such
distributions to a Member for any period exceeds the distributions that such
Member would have received for such period .but for such withholding, the Board

applicable.

in kind and such distribution is subject to withholding or other taxes payable by the

to the Company of the amount required to be withheld.
