REV: 07-15-2021 VR
<br />AGREEMENT
<br />1. Percentage Share of Costs. Developer agrees to pay 18 percent of the
<br />Anticipated CEQA Costs and, in the event that DTPP CEQA Review costs increase
<br />beyond the Anticipated CEQA Costs, Developer agrees to pay any additional costs in
<br />accordance with the percentages identified in this paragraph. Developer acknowledges
<br />that the costs of the DTPP CEQA Review will be shared among six projects as described
<br />in the recitals. Developer agrees that should any of the other projects withdraw, Developer
<br />will pay an equivalent share of the additional DTPP CEQA Costs with the remaining
<br />applicants. For example, if one of the five similar size project withdraws its application,
<br />the four remaining projects will each pay one-fourth of 90 percent of the additional costs;
<br />and if the smaller project withdraws, each of the remaining projects will each pay one-fifth
<br />of 100 percent of the additional costs.
<br />
<br />2. CEQA Deposit. City shall establish an account designed to fund the DTPP
<br />CEQA Review (“CEQA Deposit”). On or before the Effective Date of this First
<br />Amendment, Developer shall fund the CEQA Deposit by depositing with City 18 percent
<br />of the Anticipated CEQA Costs or One Hundred Eighty-Three Thousand Six Hundred
<br />Dollars ($183,600) in the form of a wire transfer of good funds. This initial deposit shall
<br />be non-refundable. Thereafter, Developer shall replenish the CEQA Deposit monthly
<br />such that the CEQA Deposit does not fall below Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) to
<br />ensure adequate funds are available to pay ESA’s invoices and any other DTPP CEQA
<br />Review related costs.
<br />3. Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by law, in accordance with
<br />the percentages identified in paragraph 1 above, Developer shall fully defend, indemnify
<br />(with legal counsel selected and approved by the City in the City’s sole discretion) and
<br />hold harmless the City and its officers, officials, boards, commissions, employees,
<br />consultants, agents, and volunteers from and against any claim, action, or proceeding to
<br />attack, set aside, void, or annul any action taken by the City on the DTPP CEQA Review,
<br />or any of the proceedings, acts, or determinations taken, done or made prior to said
<br />action, including, but not limited to, any writ of mandate, litigation, declaratory relief, or
<br />due process litigation which may arise or result from or be related in any way to the DTPP
<br />CEQA Review. This indemnification applies to any challenge to the DTPP CEQA Review
<br />whether or not the challenge singles out any particular project. To the extent that the City
<br />is required to use any of its own resources to respond to such a claim, action, or
<br />proceeding, Developer will reimburse the City for its share upon demand and upon
<br />presentation of an invoice describing the work done, the time spent on such work, and
<br />the hourly rate for such work by the employee, consultant, or agent of the City, including,
<br />but not limited to, all costs and fees incurred in additional investigation, or study of, or for
<br />supplementing, redrafting, revising, or amending any document (such as an
<br />environmental impact report, specific plan, or general plan amendment).
<br />4. Except to the extent expressly modified by this First Amendment, the terms
<br />of the Agreement shall remain effective without impairment or modification.
