consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary City's
consent to or approval of any subsequent act of Contractor. Any waiver by either
party of any default must be in writing and shall not be a waiver of any other
default concerning the same or any other provision of this Agreement.
8.5. Rights and Remedies are Cumulative. Except with respect to rights and
remedies expressly declared to be exclusive in this Agreement, the rights and
remedies of the parties are cumulative and the exercise by either party of one or
more of such rights or remedies shall not preclude the exercise by it, at the same or
different times, of any other rights or remedies for the same default or any other
default by the other party.

take legal action, at law or at equity, to cure, correct or remedy any default, to
recover damages for any default, to compel specific performance of this Agreement,
to obtain injunctive relief, or to obtain any other remedy consistent with the
purposes of this Agreement.

10.2. ABx1 26 Disclosure and Release. On June 28, 2011, the Governor signed
Assembly Bill 26 ("ABx1 26") and Assembly Bill 27 ("ABx1 27") from the 2011-12
First Extraordinary Session of the California Legislature. ABx1 26 immediately
suspended all redevelopment agency activities, except continued performance of
"enforceable obligations," and set forth a process to dissolve redevelopment
agencies and end redevelopment in California. ABx1 27 provided a "voluntary
alternative redevelopment program," which would have allowed redevelopment
agencies to remain in existence and continue redevelopment, if remittance
payments were made to cover the State of California's budget shortfall for fiscal
year 2011-12 and were made in subsequent fiscal years to cover State costs. A
lawsuit was filed, challenging the constitutionality of both ABx1 26 and 27. The
California Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of ABx1 26, revising the
effective dates of certain provisions, and struck down as unconstitutional ABx1
27. (California Redevelopment Assn. v. Matosantos (2011) 53 Cal.4th 231 (`CRA
Case'). ABx1 26 is Chapter 5, Statutes 2011, First Extraordinary Session, which
added Part 1.8 (suspension provisions) and Part 1.85 (dissolution provisions) of
Division 24 of the Health and Safety Code. The City acquired the Property from the
former La Quinta Redevelopment Agency ("Agency") prior to the date ABx1 26 was
signed by the Governor. With the exception of certain portions of the Property
designated for public uses, the City paid to the Agency the fair market value of the
Property. Although the City believes the City's acquisition of the Property from the
Agency was lawfully conducted, the City cannot guarantee that the California
Department of Finance or another interested party will not order the Property to be
returned to the City, in its capacity as the "Successor Agency" to the former
Agency, and require the City, in its capacity as the Successor Agency, to sell the
Property to a third party. . Contractor, on behalf of itself and its successors and
assigns, hereby releases and forever discharges the City and the City's officials,
119/015610-0065
3114281.4 a05/17/12 -1 4-
officers, members, agents, employees, and representatives, and each of them
(collectively, the "City Released Parties"), from and against' any and all claims,
complaints, demands, causes of action, obligations, damages, costs, expenses,
liens, attorneys' fees, rights and liabilities of any nature whatsoever, whether
known or unknown, suspected or not suspected to exist, claimed or not claimed,
that arise in connection with the City's termination of this Agreement and the
License as a result of an order under ABx1 26 to the City to transfer the Property to
the City, in its capacity as the Successor Agency, and sell the Property to a third
party (collectively, the "City Released Claims"). To the full extent of the foregoing
release of the City Released Claims, Contractor also expressly waives all "unknown
claims" as against the City Released Parties and expressly waives its rights under
Civil Code section 1542, which reads as follows:
A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not
know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the
release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or
her settlement with the debtor.
10.3. Integrated Agreement. This Agreement contains all of the agreements of the
parties and all previous understanding, negotiations and agreements are integrated

shall 'prevail except as otherwise provided in Section 1.7.
10.5. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended at any time by the mutual
consent of the parties by an instrument in writing signed by both parties.
10.6. Severability. In the event that any one or more of the phrases, sentences,
clauses, paragraphs, or sections contained in this Agreement shall be declared
invalid or unenforceable by a valid judgment or decree of a court of competent
jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any of the remaining

parties hereunder.

CONTRACTOR:
LA QUINTA FARMS, LLC., a California
limited '� ity company ..
By:
Title:
Exhibit A
SCOPE OF SERVICES
La Quinta Farms, LLC shall manage the "Property," which is the approximately 290 acres
of undeveloped property at SilverRock Resort. This includes PM10 management and
mitigation, planting and maintaining Sudan grass to cover approximately 80 acres of the
Property, removing current and future weeds including tamarisk trees, removing current
and future debris from the property, cleaning the vegetation that grows in the storm water
retention area, planting and maintaining rye grass to cover approximately 45 acres, for
purposes of providing a temporary parking lot that can be used annually for events from
November through April, and (subject to the limitations in this exhibit and the Agreement)
operating a 35 acre farm operation.
Irrigation. A water truck shall be on site at all times. All water costs related to the scope
of services contained in this contract will be included in the contractors' service.
Sudan Grass. Sudan grass will be planted annually over 80 acres and will be maintained
throughout the year. There will be a dormant season for the Sudan grass. The dormant
grass will still require maintenance and irrigation for weed and dust control. Sudan grass is
used by farmers to condition soils because of its abilities to remove salts and impurities
from the soil.
Temporary Parking Lot. The City has an agreement for the Humana Challenge Golf
Tournament to provide 45 acres of event parking within the undeveloped property at
SilverRock located at Avenue 54 and Jefferson Street. As part of the Scope of Services,
the Contractor will annually plant the rye grass in October and maintain the grassed area
through the Humana Challenge Golf Event.
Weed Removal. Tumbleweeds, Sahara Mustard, and Tamarisk trees are invasive weeds
that have become problematic throughout the Coachella Valley. When not eradicated,
these weeds may cause problems along Jefferson Street and at the Hideaway
Development during wind events. Tamarisk trees are difficult to remove and will damage
the water features at SilverRock Resort if they are not eradicated. The Contractor will.
continually remove these weeds throughout the Property.
Debris Removal. The perimeter of the SilverRock Resort development is mostly open
landscape with a few wall and fence features. Unfortunately, this design provides access
to trespassers who occasionally dump debris on the Property. The Contractor, as part of
the services .under the Agreement, will monitor trespass activity and remove current and
future debris.
Storm Water Retention Area. A storm water retention basin currently exists on the north
section of the Property along Avenue 52 and just east of the SilverRock Resort entrance.
This retention basin is the termination point for the Calle Rondo Channel which collects
most of the storm and run-off water from the La Quinta Cove and Village communities.
The Contractor will continually remove the vegetation that grows within and around the
storm water retention area as part of the services under the Agreement.

no expense to City, samples of License Goods offered by Contractor in connection

expense, to make whatever changes and/or corrections City deems necessary to

City of said claim. Contractor agrees to cooperate with and assist City in protecting
and defending the Trademarks against any claim, at City's expense; provided,
however, that City shall have the sole right to determine whether any action shall
