10.02 Ass�unent.
(a) By Owner to Successor Owners. Owner has the right (from time to time
without the consent of the City, but upon written Notice to the City) to assign this
Agreement, in whole or in part, and including any obligation, right, title, or interest of
Owner under this Agreement, to an Assignee that is, or will become an owner of any
portion of the Property within fifteen (15) days after the assignment. Each assignment
shall be in writing in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E, shall be executed by Owner
and the Assignee and shall obligate the Assignee to be bound by this Agreement to the
extent this Agreement applies or relates to the obligations, rights, title, or interests being
assigned. Owner shall provide a copy of each assignment to all Parties within fifteen(15)
days after execution. From and after such assignment, the City agrees to look solely to
the Assignee for the performance of all obligations assigned to the Assignee and agrees
that Owner shall be released from subsequently performing the assigned obligations and
from any liability that results from the Assignee's failure to perform the assigned
obligations; provided, however, if a copy of the assignment is not received by the City
within fifteen(15)days after execution,Owner shall not be released until the City receives
such assignment. No assignment by Owner shall release Owner from any liability that
resulted from an act or omission by Owner that occurred prior to the effective date of the
assignment unless the City approves the release in writing. Owner shall maintain written
records of all assignments made by Owner to Assignees, including a copy of each
executed assignment and the Assignee's Notice information as required by this
Agreement, and, upon written request from any Party or Assignee, shall provide a copy
of such records to the requesting person or entity.
(b) By the City. The City shall not assign this Agreement, in whole or in part,
and including any obligation, right, title, or interest of the City under this Agreement,to
any person, entity, or political subdivision without the prior written approval of Owner,
which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
10.03 Encumbrance by Owner and Assignees. Owner and Assignees have the
right,from time to time, to collaterally assign, pledge, grant a lien or security interest in,
or otherwise encumber any of their respective rights, title, or interest under this
Agreement for the benefit of their respective Lenders without the consent of, but with
prompt written Notice to, the City. The collateral assignment, pledge, grant of lien or
security interest, or other encumbrance shall not, however, obligate any Lender to
Development Agreement for Northstar Ranch-Page 16
perform any obligations or incur any liability under this Agreement: (a)unless the Lender
agrees in writing to perform such obligations or incur such liability; or (b) unless the
Lender holds fee simple title to any portion of the Property and elects to or proceeds to
develop such portion under this Agreement, in which case the Lender shall be bound by
this Agreement and shall not be entitled to the rights and benefits of this Agreement with
respect to such portion of the Property until all defaults under this Agreement with
respect to the acquired portion have been cured. Provided that the City has received a
copy of the applicable collateral assignment, including Notice information for a Lender,
then that Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure any default under
this Agreement and shall be given a reasonable time to do so in addition to the cure
periods provided by Article IX of this Agreement;and the City agrees to accept such cure
as if offered by the defaulting Party. A Lender is not a Party to this Agreement unless
this Agreement is amended,with the consent of the Lender, to add the Lender as a Party
or unless the Lender holds fee simple title to any portion of the Property and elects to or
proceeds to develop such portion under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
however, this Agreement shall continue to bind the Property and shall survive any
transfer, conveyance, or assignment occasioned by the exercise of foreclosure or other
rights by a Lender, whether judicial or non judicial. Any purchaser from or successor
owner through a Lender of any portion of the Property shall be bound by this Agreement
and shall not be entitled to the rights and benefits of this Agreement with respect to the
acquired portion of the Property until all defaults under this Agreement with respect to
the acquired portion of the Property have been cured.

recorded Agreement to the Development Director within ten(10)days after its execution.
This Agreement shall be binding upon the Development,the City,Owner,any Lender
that has become an Assignee, and anyother Assignee, and their respective successors
and assigns. The Parties agree that this Agreement benefits and burdens the Property
and touches and concerns the Property. The rights and obligations under this Agreement
are intended to be covenants running with the Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
this Agreement is not binding upon, and shall not constitute any encumbrance to title as
to any Lot Owner except for land use and development regulations that apply to the lot
in question.
10.05 No Waiver. Any failure by a Party to insist upon strict performance by the
other Party of any material provision of this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver
thereof, and the Party shall have the right at any time thereafter to insist upon strict
performance of any and all provisions of this Agreement. No provision of this
Agreement may be waived except by writing signed by the Party waiving such provision.

performance will be appropriately extended by the amount of delay so caused, and the
Party so delayed shall resume full performance at the earliest possible time.

phrase, clause, sentence, paragraph, section, or other provision of this Agreement, or the
application thereof to any person or circumstance, shall ever be held or determined to be
invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, and the extent of such invalidity or
unenforceability does not cause substantial deviation from the underlying intent of the
Parties as expressed in this Agreement, then such provision shall be deemed severed
from this Agreement with respect to such person, entity or circumstance, without
invalidating the remainder of this Agreement or the application of such provision to other
persons, entities or circumstances, and a new provision shall be deemed substituted in
lieu of the severed provision which new provision shall, to the extent possible,
accomplish the intent of the Parties evidenced by the severed provision. Without limiting

with the original intent of this Agreement as legally possible.
