CITY COUNCIL MEETING: October 5, 2021
STAFF REPORT

TO PURCHASE, SALE, AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WITH SILVERROCK
DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, LLC. FOR SILVERROCK RESORT, AND REQUIRE
DEVELOPER TO PRESENT MONTHLY PROGRESS UPDATES AT COUNCIL
MEETINGS UNTIL FRAMING OF LUXURY HOTEL GUEST ROOMS IS COMPLETE
RECOMMENDATION
Approve Amendment No. 4 and related documents to the Purchase, Sale, and
Development Agreement with SilverRock Development Company, LLC. for
SilverRock Resort; authorize the City Manager and City Attorney to (i) make
minor revisions and additions as necessary that do not substantively change

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In November 2014, Council approved a Purchase, Sale, and
Development Agreement (PSDA) with SilverRock Development
Company (SDC).
In May 2017, SDC initiated the work to realign golf course holes to
accommodate the luxury hotel and improve the golf experience; this
work was completed in November 2017.
Amendment No. 3 was executed in November 2018 primarily to update
schedule and project phasing to enable closing of the $212 million
construction financing with Mosaic Real Estate (Mosaic).
In April 2019, SDC commenced mass grading of the site in preparation
for vertical development; this work was completed in November 2019.
In March 2020, just after the COVID-19 pandemic started, SDC provided
the first of several updates to Council including notification that they
would be delaying the start of vertical construction as a result of the
BUSINESS SESSION ITEM NO. 4
147
pandemic but that both SDC and their financing partner Mosaic are
committed to the successful completion of SilverRock Resort.
On April 15, 2020, SDC provided the City with a Force Majeure notice
related to impacts to the development schedule associated with the
COVID-19 pandemic.
In April 2021, the City issued a notice of default to SDC, per the terms
of the Agreement which identified completion of the two hotels, spa,
conference facility, and permanent golf clubhouse by December 31,
2020.
September 2021, SDC provided verification of revised capitalization.
Amendment No. 4 would modify the development schedule; decrease
the amount of Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) receipts available by 5%
for the 15-year term when calculating any rebate for continuous
operation of the hotels, once opened, under TOT Covenant Agreements;
identify additional project milestones; increase the purchase price on
“Future Resort Property“ (Option Property) for missing milestones; and
require hotel operator to manage all resort residential short-term
vacation rentals.
The Robert Green Company must personally guaranty to the City the
completion of 100% of the Master Site Infrastructure Improvements for
which SDC is responsible for completing.
FISCAL IMPACT
The development of SilverRock Resort will generate revenue for the City and
the greater community. As the project is developed, the City will receive an
estimated $7 million of Developer Impact Fees (DIF); annual property tax
revenue that will continue to increase as the property is improved and sold
(estimated to be over $640,000 annually within 10 years); sales tax generated
through food, beverage and retail sales (estimated to exceed $580,000
annually within 10 years); and net TOT revenue from hotels and resort
residences (estimated to exceed $2 million annually within 10 years).
Furthermore, it is estimated that the project will generate 1,750 temporary
construction jobs and 465 full time permanent operational jobs at the resort.
The average Montage/Pendry employee is among the highest paid in the
hospitality industry and earns on average $41,000 annually. This equates to
just over $19,000,000 of employment opportunity introduced to the
community. Finally, the City will be relieved from funding operational deficits
associated with the golf course, dust control and parkway maintenance costs
averaging approximately $600,000 annually.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
It has been nearly three years since Amendment No. 3 with SDC was
executed. In this timeframe, SDC has mass graded the site, finalized
construction documents, acquired construction estimates, and paused
construction as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and cost escalations.
Material and supply chain shortages, increased demand, and rising material
and labor costs created a nearly $80 million dollar financing gap to fully
capitalize the project.
On April 7, 2021, the City issued a notice of default to SDC outlining that
Council would need to approve revised financing, schedule and an amendment
to the PSDA, as amended, in order for the default to be cured. Since this
default notice was issued, SDC has worked diligently and in good faith to move
the project forward and into vertical construction. Grading is complete on
many of the project areas and building permits and construction has
commenced for the luxury hotel, spa, shared conference facility, clubhouse
and model luxury branded residences.
Staff has concluded negotiations with SDC on the revised schedule that
includes additional project milestones, updated start and completion dates of
project components as well as new and revised terms and conditions as
outlined below. Additionally, SDC has provided evidence of executed revised
capitalization documents for the nearly $80 million funding gap mentioned
above, along with a letter from Mosaic investors, the projects primary lender
expressing their continued $212 million lending commitment to the project,
and support for revisions to the capital structure.
Updated Schedule of Performance
Adjustments to dates for master site infrastructure construction and
start/completion of the hotels are as follows:
Golf club and practice range shall start on or before 8/30/21 and shall
be finished before 11/1/22 to precede the luxury hotel opening.
Golf bungalows shall start on or before 7/31/26 and shall be finished
before 7/31/28
Construction of luxury hotel, the conference and shared services facility
and permanent clubhouse shall start on or before 8/30/21 and shall be
finished before 9/30/23
Construction of the lifestyle hotel shall start on or before 9/30/22 and
shall be finished before 7/31/24
149
The chart below details Amendment No. 3 and proposed Amendment No. 4
schedule of performance dates. The Amendment No. 4 changes provide time
extensions to complete major milestones, most notably a three and a half year
extension to complete the lifestyle hotel. This is 10 months after the
completion of the luxury hotel which was previously scheduled to finish
concurrently. The staggering of completion is logistically necessary given the
tremendous amount of work occurring onsite, and the current industry
demand for labor and materials.

Revised Business Terms
Amendment No. 4 includes the following business terms:
Decrease the amount of TOT receipts available by 5% for the 15-
year term when calculating any rebate for continuous operation of
the hotels, once opened, under TOT Covenant Agreements.
Increase the purchase price on “Future Resort Property“ (Option
Property) for missing any of the six (6) project milestones. There is
the potential to miss six (6) project milestones at $500,000 each,
resulting in a purchase price increase of up to $3 million.
Require hotel operator to manage short-term vacation rentals that
could occur in the luxury and lifestyle branded residences and golf
villas.
SDC would have the ability to close escrow on the sale or transfer of
any resort residential dwelling unit within the luxury and/or lifestyle
branded residential developments after vertical construction of the
luxury hotel has commenced (i.e., foundations complete and framing
is underway).
150
SDC requirement to provide written quarterly reports detailing all
changes to schedule, delays or other circumstances that could impact
developer’s ability to achieve project milestones.
Approving Amendment No. 4 will enable SDC to continue project funding and
construction of all project components as outlined in the revised schedule of
performance. SDC will continue to provide project updates at council meetings
that will include recent milestones achieved, schedule updates and project
highlights. These updates will occur monthly until framing of the luxury hotel
is complete.
ALTERNATIVES
Council could direct staff to further modify the terms of Amendment No.4; this
option would delay development and impact development financing.

8.2 Percentage Reduction to Rebate Based on TOT Receipts. In consideration of City’s
agreeing to this Amendment No. 4 and the Revised Schedule of Performance set forth herein, the
percentage used to determine the “amount available for Rebate” by the City in Section 4.1.2(a)(vi)
of the Luxury Hotel TOT Covenant Agreement and Section 4.1.2(a)(vi) of the Lifestyle Hotel TOT
Covenant Agreement shall be reduced by five percentage points (i.e., reduced by subtracting 5%)
from the total adjusted percentage to be applied upon the “Commencement Date” and throughout
the “Operating Period” and “Term” as those terms are defined in the Luxury Hotel TOT Covenant
Agreement and Lifestyle Hotel TOT Covenant Agreement. In explanation of the foregoing, the
percentage used to determine the “amount available for Rebate” by the City shall be reduced by five
percentage points (.e., by subtracting 5%) so that the percentage applied within the first ten (10)
years of the Operating Period shall be ninety percent (90%) instead of ninety-five percent (95% - 5%
= 90%), and the percentage applied within in the last five (5) years of the Operating Period shall be
seventy percent (70%) instead of seventy-five percent (75% - 5% = 70%). Developer and City shall
execute (concurrently with this Amendment No. 4) in a recordable form the First Amendment to the
Luxury Hotel TOT Covenant Agreement substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit ”C” and
incorporated herein by this reference (the “Luxury Hotel TOT First Amendment”), and First
Amendment to the Lifestyle Hotel TOT Covenant Agreement substantially the form attached hereto
as Exhibit ”D” and incorporated herein by this reference (the “Lifestyle Hotel TOT First
Amendment”). Developer shall record or cause to be recorded in the Recorder’s Office the Luxury
Hotel TOT First Amendment and Lifestyle Hotel TOT First Amendment prior to or concurrently with
159
8
12711468.4
4827-5243-0055.12
the closing of the Revised Capitalization as set forth in this Amendment No. 4. Developer and City
shall cooperate to execute (and record, if applicable) any other documents or amendments (including
but not limited to amendments to the Luxury Hotel TOT Sharing Agreement and/or Lifestyle Hotel
TOT Sharing Agreement) if necessary or convenient to memorialize the terms and conditions of this
section and this Amendment No. 4 relating to the adjusted percentages to be applied to the Luxury
Hotel TOT Covenant Agreement and Lifestyle Hotel TOT Covenant Agreement.
9. Project Milestones and Financial Incentive Reductions.
9.1 List of Project Milestones. The following items of performance are defined as
“Project Milestones,” and the failure to timely perform the Project Milestone may be subject to the
Financial Incentive Reductions as provided in Section 9.2(ii):
Luxury Hotel:
(a) Commencement of the Luxury Hotel vertical construction;
(b) Completion of Luxury Hotel guest room framing;
(c) Substantial completion of the Luxury Hotel has been achieved, and
“substantial completion” means the Luxury Hotel as determined by the
general contractor is completed to a point sufficient for a Temporary
Certificate of Occupancy (TCO) to allow for a “soft opening” that includes
a limited roll-out of guestroom occupancy and other operations;
Lifestyle Hotel:
(d) Commencement of the Lifestyle Hotel vertical construction;
(e) Completion of Lifestyle Hotel guest room framing;
(f) Substantial completion of the Lifestyle Hotel has been achieved, and
“substantial completion” means the Lifestyle Hotel as determined by the
general contractor is completed to a point sufficient for a Temporary
Certificate of Occupancy (TCO) to allow for a “soft opening” that includes
a limited roll-out of guestroom occupancy and other operations.
9.2 Adjustments to Future Resort Property Terms and Conditions.
9.2.1 Revised Section 9.2 of The Second Amendment. Section 9.2 of the
Second Amendment is amended and restated as set forth below:
“9.2 Purchase and Sale Provisions.
(i) Process After Timely and Effective Exercise of Option. If Developer timely and
effectively exercises Developer's Future Resort Option pursuant to Amendment No. 2 as
modified by this Amendment No. 4, then City shall convey to Developer, and Developer shall
purchase from City, the Future Resort Property pursuant to all of the terms, conditions, and
covenants in Article 200 [Conveyance of the Property] in the Original PSDA, and subject to
the following additional provisions: (a) the disposition of the Future Resort Property will be
treated as a new “Phase,” referred to as the “Future Resort Property Phase” and the
corresponding new “Project Component” to be integrated for the Future Resort Property shall
be referred to herein as the “Future Resort” (as that term is defined in Section 9.3 of
160
9
12711468.4
4827-5243-0055.12
Amendment No. 2 as modified by this Amendment No. 4); (b) subject to the terms and
conditions in clause (ii) of the paragraph below, the “Purchase Price” for the Future Resort
Property shall be Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000), plus, to the
extent an active recreational use or uses open to the public are made a part of the Future
Resort Property in lieu of a 9-hole golf course, a dollar amount reflecting the market value of
any additional developable acreage in the Future Resort Property by reason of the
substitution of an active recreational use or uses open to the public in lieu of a nine-hole golf
course. Such market value shall be based on an appraisal from an independent, state-
certified appraiser, and shall reflect the value of such additional developable acreage
considering its intended use and its then condition, including the status of entitlements and
any applicable use and development restrictions. City Manager and Developer shall use their
good faith efforts to agree on such market value, based on the independent, state-certified
appraiser’s appraisal, within thirty (30) days of determining that such additional developable
acreage will exist and the approximate amount of such acreage has been identified. If the
City Manager and Developer are unable to reach agreement on the market value of any such
additional developable acreage within such time, then at the election of either party, such
market value shall be determined by an appraiser mutually selected by Developer and City
Manager but if Developer and City Manager are unable to mutually select an appraiser within
thirty days of the election of either party to obtain an appraisal, then each party shall select
an MAI appraiser with at least 10 years’ experience to make a determination of the market
value and the two appraisers shall select a third MAI appraiser with at least 10 years’
experience to also determine the market value. The appraised value as determined by
Developer’s or the City’s appraiser, whichever is closest to the market value determined by
the third appraiser, shall be the market value of the additional developable acreage for the
purpose of determining the Purchase Price. Each appraiser shall make its determination of
the market value considering the factors described above. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Purchase Price shall not be increased to the extent additional developable acreage
occurs within the Future Resort Property due to the inclusion of all or a portion of a 9-hole
golf course or, in lieu thereof, active recreational use or uses open to the public within
Planning Areas 7, 8 and/or 9; (c) the closing shall be contingent upon City Council’s
discretionary review and approval of the “Concept Plan for the Future Resort” (as defined at
the end of this paragraph) which City Council review and approval process will be similar to
the concept plan review and approval process relating to the Project at the time of
Amendment No. 2 and the closing date for the Escrow shall be no later than sixty (60) days
after such approval; (d) the development of Planning Areas 7, 8 and 9, (Parcels 10, 11 and
12) shall have commenced or alternatively, the planned development thereof will occur in
connection with the development of the Future Resort Property, and (e) Developer is not in
then in default of the PSDA and all amendments thereto in effect at the time of the disposition
of the Future Resort Property (which includes but is not limited to no default by failing to
complete an item of performance in the Revised Schedule of Performance but for the sake
of clarity does not include any such failure that results in a Financial Incentive Reduction as
defined in this Amendment No. 4). For purposes of the PSDA as amended by this
Amendment No. 4, the “Concept Plan for the Future Resort” means a site plan, a detailed
list of proposed uses corresponding to the site plan, proposed land uses, a proposed
schedule of performance for development (including any proposed phasing), and any other
information that the City Manager, in the City Manager’s reasonable discretion, may request
to be submitted for City Council review and approval, but expressly shall not be a “preliminary
application” as defined in Government Code sections 65941.1 or 65589.5(h)(2) (or successor
provisions), it being expressly agreed by the Parties that the Concept Plan for the Future
Resort may consist of site plans, land use plans, and schedules and not a submittal of an
application for any permit or entitlement that ultimately may need to be obtained for the
planning, development, and use of the Future Resort Property.

12711468.4
4827-5243-0055.12
(ii) Purchase Price Modifications/Potential Financial Incentive Reductions for Failing to
Meet Project Milestones. If any Project Milestone is not timely completed pursuant to the
Revised Schedule of Performance (per this Amendment No. 4), the City shall have the right
to adjust the Purchase Price for the Future Property, and Developer (or SRPI or SRL or other
Developer affiliate, as applicable) shall be subject to said adjustments, without affecting
Developer’s (or SRPI’s or SRL’s or other Developer affiliate, as applicable) obligations to
perform any and all obligations set forth in the PSDA as amended by this Amendment No. 4,
pursuant to the following:
(A) If any Project Milestone is not timely completed pursuant to the Revised
Schedule of Performance, the Purchase Price for the Future Resort Property shall be
increased by Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) for each missed Project
Milestone (i.e., there is the potential to miss up to six (6) Project Milestones, resulting
in a Purchase Price increase for the Future Resort Property of Three Million Dollars
($3,000,000) and each adjustment is individually a “Financial Incentive Reduction”
and collectively “Financial Incentive Reductions”);
(B) If the Project Milestone under Section 9.1(a) and/or 9.1(b) of Amendment
No. 4 is missed, but the Project Milestone under Section 9.1(c) of Amendment No. 4
is satisfied (as all such dates may be extended pursuant to paragraph (D) below),
then the Financial Incentive Reduction (as defined below) with respect to the misse d
Section 9.1(a) and/or Section 9.1(b) Project Milestone shall not apply; and, similarly,
if the Project Milestone under Section 9.1(d) and/or under Section 9.1(e) of
Amendment No. 4 is missed, but the Project Milestone under Section 9.2(f) of
Amendment No. 4 is satisfied (as all such dates may be extended pursuant to
paragraph (D) below), then the Financial Incentive Reduction (as defined below) with
respect to the missed Section 9.1(d) and/or Section 9.1(e) Project Milestone shall not
apply;
(C) If the Project Milestone under Section 9.1(a) of Amendment No. 4 is missed
and Financial Incentive Reduction occurs for the same, then the new date for
completion of the Project Milestone under Section 9.1(b) and Section 9.1(c) of
Amendment No. 4 shall be extended as provided in Subsection D below. If the
Project Milestone under Section 9.1(b) of Amendment No. 4 is missed and Financial
Incentive Reduction occurs for the same, then the new date for completion of the
Project Milestone under Section 9.1(c) of Amendment No. 4 shall be extended as
provided in Subsection (D) below. Similarly, if the Project Milestone under Section
9.1(d) of Amendment No. 4 is missed and Financial Incentive Reduction occurs for
the same, then the new date for completion of the Project Milestone under Section
9.1(e) and Section 9.1(f) of Amendment No. 4 shall be extended from the date in the
Revised Schedule of Performance to the extension date for the same pursuant to the
Approved General Contractor Extension as defined below. If the Project Milestone
under Section 9.1(e) of Amendment No. 4 is missed and Financial Incentive
Reduction occurs for the same, then the new date for completion of the Project
Milestone under Section 9.1(f) of Amendment No. 4 shall be extended as provided in
Subsection (D) below;
(D) Extension of Project Milestones may occur in two ways: (1) by virtue of missing
an earlier Project Milestone and suffering a Financial Incentive Reduction, and (2) by
means of an Approved General Contractor Extension (as defined below):
1. If the Project Milestone under Section 9.1(a) is missed and Financial
Incentive Reduction occurs for the same, then the new date for completion of the
162
11
12711468.4
4827-5243-0055.12
Project Milestone under Section 9.1(b) and Section 9.1(c) shall be extended by the
number of days by which the Project Milestone under Section 9.1(a) was missed and
if the Project Milestone under Section 9.1(b) is missed and Financial Incentive
Reduction occurs for the same, then the new date for completion of the Project
Milestone under Section 9.1(c) shall be extended by the number of days by which the
Project Milestone under Section 9.1(b) was missed; provided, however, in no event
shall the Project Milestone under Section 9.1(c) be extended by more than ninety (90)
days in total by reason of the extensions under this paragraph (D)(1). Similarly, if the
Project Milestone under Section 9.1(d) is missed and Financial Incentive Reduction
occurs for the same, then the new date for completion of the Project Milestone under
Section 9.1(e) and Section 9.1(f) shall be extended by the number of days by which
the Project Milestone under Section 9.1(d) was missed and if the Project Milestone
under Section 9.1(e) is missed and Financial Incentive Reduction occurs for the same,
then the new date for completion of the Project Milestone under Section 9.1(f) shall
be extended by the number of days by which the Project Milestone under Section
9.1(e) was missed; provided, however, in no event shall the Project Milestone under
Section 9.1(f) be extended by more than ninety (90) days in total by reason of the
extensions under this paragraph (D)(1). For the sake of clarity, the foregoing
extensions only occur when an earlier Project Milestone date is missed whether or
not the earlier Project Milestone date was previously extended pursuant to paragraph
(D)(2) below and whether or not the subsequent Project Milestone date is extended
pursuant to paragraph (D)(2) below.
2. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the general contractor(s)
retained by Developer for the Project Components may request or be compelled to
extend completions dates under the applicable general contract which dates
correspond to dates set forth in the Revised Schedule of Performance, including
extending the dates of completion for the Project Milestones. If Developer seeks an
extension of Project Milestones based upon any request or compelled extension
identified by the general contractor for a Project Component(s), Developer (or SRPI
or SRL or other Developer affiliate, as applicable) shall deliver the general contractor’s
proposed extension dates and proposed new schedule of performance to the City
Manager; within ten (10) days of receipt of said proposed extension dates and
proposed new schedule of performance, the City Manager shall review and
determine, in the City Manager’s reasonable discretion, whether the reasons provided
for the extension are valid, verifiable, and justified (meaning the extension is
attributable to a condition or circumstance outside of the contractor’s and Developer’s
control); if the City Manager approves said proposed extension dates and proposed
new schedule of performance as related to the Project Milestones (each of which is
an “Approved General Contractor Extension”), that Approved General Contractor
Extension date shall then govern for the Project Milestones and the application of any
corresponding Financial Incentive Reduction. If the City Manager determines the
general contractor proposed extension is not valid, verifiable, and justified (meaning
the extension is not attributable to a condition or circumstance outside of the
contractor’s and Developer’s control) and therefore denies the proposed extension
dates and proposed new schedule of performance Project Milestone dates, the City
Manager and Developer (and any of their respective representatives and agents)
shall engage in an informal meet and confer process for no more than four (4) hours
per proposed extension dates/proposed new schedule of performance to attempt to
reach in good faith a resolution of the new extended dates, if any, of the specific item
of performance; provided, however, that the informal meet and confer process shall
be the exclusive means for the Parties to resolve any dispute over any general
163
12
12711468.4
4827-5243-0055.12
contractor proposed extension dates and proposed new schedule of performance
provided by Developer;
(E) For avoidance of doubt, the Revised Schedule of Performance attached to
this Amendment No. 4, and Project Milestones included herein, are subject to the
terms and conditions of Section 602 [enforced delay] of the Original PSDA; and
(F) If Developer acquires the Future Resort Property in accordance with the PSDA
(including this Amendment No. 4), then: (I) Developer shall submit to the City an
application(s) for permits and entitlement for the development of the Future Resort
Property based on the City Council-approved Concept Plan for the Future Resort,
within six (6) months of Developer’s acquisition thereof, and (II) if any discretionary
approval subject to CEQA will be required based on the application(s) submitted by
Developer based on the City Council-approved Concept Plan for the Future Resort,
the Developer shall commence the processing of the same within one (1) year of
acquiring the Future Resort Property; provided, however, that nothing in this section
or Amendment No. 4 is intended to, or does, limit the City’s discretionary authority to
review and approve any and all applications for permits and entitlements relating to
the planning, development, and use of the Future Resort Property pursuant to the
Municipal Code, Specific Plan, and any other applicable federal, state, or local laws
and regulations.”
9.3 Future Resort Use.
9.3.1 Revised Section 9.3 of The Second Amendment. Section 9.3 of the
Second Amendment is amended and restated as set forth below:
“9.3 Future Resort Development and Land Use Covenant. The Future Resort Property
shall be developed to include green open space allowing active recreation and/or for a golf
course of no less than nine (9) holes and of the same or better caliber as the Golf Course
pursuant to any and all permits and entitlements reviewed and approved by the City (the
“Future Resort”). For any golf course use, the Covenant Affecting Real Property (Golf
Course Use) for the Future Resort will be recorded against the Future Resort Property, and
will bind the Future Resort Property until such time as the “Future Golf Covenant” (as that
term is defined below in this Section 9.3) has been recorded in the Recorder’s Office.
Notwithstanding any provisions in Amendment No. 2 or this Amendment No. 4 to the contrary,
prior to or concurrently with any conveyance of any right, title, or interest in the Future Resort
Property by the City to Developer or any other person or entity, an amendment to the
Covenant Affecting Real Property (Golf Course Use) or similar document (the “Future Golf
Covenant”) shall be executed and recorded in the Recorder’s Office, with priority over any
secured interest in property (such as a deed of trust or mortgage), and such land use
covenant shall, in addition to other provisions mutually agreed to by City and Developer, (i)
release from the Covenant Affecting Real Property (Golf Course Use) the portions of the
Future Resort Property that will not be developed with any of the future golf course, driving
range, or other ancillary golf course operations, and (ii) grants the same or similar privileges
to holders of “Resident Access Cards” (as that term is defined in the Covenant Affecting Real
Property (Golf Course Use)) for the future golf course. Developer and City shall negotiate in
good faith to effectuate the requirements of this section.”
9.4 Progress Reports. Until the completion of a Project Component, Developer at its own
cost and expense shall deliver to the City Manager a report on a quarterly basis that includes: (a) A
description of the status of construction for the Project Component, (b) A description of any planned
changes to the Revised Schedule of Performance or Master Site Infrastructure Improvements
164
13
12711468.4
4827-5243-0055.12
Phasing Plan since the previously delivered report, (c) A bar chart schedule showing progress to
achieving the remaining Project Milestones with respect to the Project, (d) A chart showing the critical
path schedule of major items and activities, (e) A summary of activities at the Project Component
during the previous quarter, (f) A forecast of activities during the then-current and upcoming quarters,
(g) A list of any significant circumstances or delays or other issues that could impact Developer’s
achievement of the Project Milestones by the applicable performance date, and (h) Pictures, in
sufficient quantity and of appropriate detail, documenting construction and progress with respect to
the Project Component.
9.5 Reasonable Compensation to City for Failure to Timely Perform Project Milestones.
The Parties agree that the damages that the City has incurred and would incur due to Developer’s
failure to timely perform under the PSDA and the Project Milestones herein would be difficult or
impossible to predict with certainty, and it is impractical or difficult to assess actual damages in those
circumstances, but the Financial Incentive Reductions are a fair and reasonable calculation of such
damages for Developer’s failure to achieve any Project Milestone by the performance date in the
Revised Schedule of Performance. The payment of Financial Incentive Reductions as provided in
Section 9 of this Amendment No. 4 shall not limit the City’s right to (a) exercise any right or remedy
available under this Amendment No. 4 and the PSDA or at law or in equity for any other breach or
default occurring concurrently with or before such Project Milestone default, or, except as provided
in this Fourth Amendment, a breach or default after Developer’s delay in achieving the applicable
Project Milestone by the performance date in the Revised Schedule of Performance, (b) recover any
damages for default or breach of any terms or conditions that are not the date of performance for a
Project Milestone or to pursue any indemnity claims in accordance with this Amendment No. 4 and
the PSDA, or (c) other than as a result of the Project Milestone default, terminate the PSDA (and
any other agreements between Developer and City relating to the Project) in accordance with the
PSDA (and any other agreements between Developer and City relating to the Project).
10. Miscellaneous.
10.1 PSDA in Full Force and Effect. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this
Amendment No. 4, all of the covenants, terms and conditions of the PSDA (including the GENERAL
PROVISIONS in Article 600, as modified in Amendment No. 1) shall remain in full force and effect.
10.2 Governing Law. This Amendment No. 4 and the PSDA shall be governed by the
internal laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict of law principles, and any question
arising hereunder shall be construed or determined according to such law. The Superior Court of
the State of California in and for the County of Riverside, or such other appropriate court in such
county, shall have exclusive jurisdiction of any litigation between the parties concerning this
Amendment No. 4 or PSDA. Service of process on City shall be made in accordance with California
law. Service of process on Developer shall be made in any manner permitted by California law and
shall be effective whether served inside or outside California.
10.3 Interpretation. The PSDA, as amended by this Amendment No. 4, shall be read and
interpreted in a comprehensive, integrated manner, and in a manner that best implements the
provisions of this Amendment No. 4. However, in the event the terms of this Amendment No. 4 result
in ambiguity, the parties will meet and confer to attempt to resolve the ambiguity, each in their
reasonable discretion. But if the terms of this Amendment No. 4 directly conflict with the terms of
the PSDA, then the terms of this Amendment No. 4 will be controlling and the PSDA, as amended,
shall be interpreted to implement the intent of this Amendment No. 4
10.4 Time is of Essence. Time is of the essence of this Amendment No. 4 and of each
and every term and provision hereof.
165
14
12711468.4
4827-5243-0055.12
10.5 City Approvals and Actions. City shall maintain authority over and implementation of

executing this Amendment No. 4 such party is formally bound to the provisions of this Amendment
No. 4, and (iv) the entering into this Amendment No. 4 does not violate any provision of any other
agreement to which such party is bound.
10.7 Counterparts. This Amendment No. 4 may be executed in counterparts, each of
which, when this Amendment No. 4 has been signed by all of the parties hereto, shall be deemed
an original, and each such counterpart shall constitute one and the same instrument.
10.8 Estoppel Statement. City and Developer certify to one another that as of the
Agreement Date: (i) except as modified by this Amendment No. 4, the PSDA and the “PSDA
Covenant Documents” (as defined in Amendment No. 3) are unmodified and in full force and effect;
and (ii) there are no defaults by Developer identified by the City under the Original PSDA,
Amendment No. 1, Amendment No. 2, Amendment No. 3, or the PSDA Covenant Documents and

real property (collectively, the "Development Property"), and for Owner to thereafter develop
and operate on the Development Property a commercial project containing hotels and associated
amenities, branded residential units, a mixed use village, and a resort residential village (the
"Development Project").
C.Pursuant to the PSDA, Owner has agreed to develop on the Site a portion of the

E.Owner is required to enter into and authorize for recording this Luxury Hotel TOT

COVENANTS
Based upon the foregoing Recitals, which are incorporated herein by this reference, and
for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged
by both Parties, City and Owner hereby agree as follows:
1.DEFINED TERMS. Except as expressly defined in this Covenant First Amendment, all
capitalized words and terms shall have the same meaning ascribed to them in the Luxury Hotel
TOT Covenant Agreement.
2.MODIFICATION TO PERCENTAGE USED TO CALCULATE REBATE PAYMENT. The

Agreement Containing Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions Affecting Real Property (Luxury
Hotel) dated November 28, 2018 and recorded on even date as Instrument No. 2018-0464671)
shall be reduced by five percentage points (i.e., reduced by subtracting 5%) from the total adjusted
percentage to be applied upon the “Commencement Date” and throughout the “Operating Period”
and “Term” as those terms are defined in the Luxury Hotel TOT Covenant Agreement. In
explanation of the foregoing, the percentage used to determine the “amount available for Rebate”
by the City shall be reduced by five percentage points (i.e., by subtracting 5%) so that the
percentage applied within the first ten (10) years of the Operating Period shall be ninety percent
(90%) instead of ninety-five percent (95% - 5% = 90%), and the percentage applied within in the
last five (5) years of the Operating Period shall be seventy percent (70%) instead of seventy-five
percent (75% - 5% = 70%).
3.RECORDING OF THIS COVENANT FIRST AMENDMENT. Developer shall record or
cause to be recorded in the Recorder’s Office this Covenant First Amendment prior to or
concurrently with the closing of the Revised Capitalization (as defined and as set forth in
