ATTY/DOCS-AGR/2021-AMENDMENTS/FIRST AMENDMENT TO LEVEE FINANCING & IMPROVEMENT AGREEMENT <br />REV: 12-14-2021 VR <br />Page 1 of 5 <br />FIRST AMENDMENT TO LEVEE FINANCING AND IMPROVEMENT AGREEMENT <br />This FIRST AMENDMENT TO LEVEE FINANCING AND IMPROVEMENT AGREEMENT <br />(this “First Amendment”) is made and entered into as of the 13th day of December 2021, by and among <br />the CITY OF REDWOOD CITY, a California charter city and municipal corporation (“City”), for itself <br />and for the Seaport Centre Maintenance District (“Maintenance District”); HCP LS REDWOOD CITY, <br />LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, its successors in interest and assignees (“HCP ”); <br />METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, a New York corporation, its successors in interest <br />and assignees (“Met Life”); and SEAPORT CENTRE OWNERS’ ASSOCIATION, a California <br />corporation (“SCOA”). HCP and Met Life are sometimes referred to collectively in this First Amendment <br />as “Owners”. The parties identified above are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “Parties.” <br />R E C I T A L S: <br />A. The Parties entered into that certain Levee Financing and Improvement Agreement dated <br />as of October 27, 2020 (the “Levee Agreement”), whereby the Parties made certain agreements regarding, <br />among other things, the construction and financing of the “Levee Improvements” (as defined therein). <br /> <br /> B. The Levee Agreement, the Purchase and Sale Agreement attached as Exhibit C to the Levee <br />Agreement, and the Escrow Instructions attached as Exhibit 2 to the Purchase and Sale Agreement each <br />provide that the allocation of the construction costs for the Levee Improvements and reimbursement of such <br />construction costs between the Owners are Met Life 46% and HCP 54%. Notwithstanding the same, the <br />Owners’ actual allocation of expenses for Seaport Centre, including the costs of construction of the Levee <br />Improvements, and the CFD’s levy of Facilities Special Tax to fund the City’s acquisition of the Levee <br />Improvements is calculated to 0.01% based on building square footages, as follows: Met Life 45.69% and <br />HCP 54.31%. Although just a percentage rounding issue, an unintended inconsistency has resulted. <br /> <br /> C. Section 25(j) of the Levee Agreement authorizes amendments thereof with the written <br />consent of all the Parties thereto. <br /> <br /> D. Section 7 of Resolution No. 15900 approving the Levee Agreement, adopted at the October <br />26, 2020 Council meeting, authorizes the City Manager or her designee, to make further minor conforming, <br />technical or clarifying changes or revisions to the Levee Agreement as may be agreed to and approved by <br />the City Attorney, which do not materially increase the obligations of the City under the Levee Agreement. <br />E. Relying on Section 25(j) of the Levee Agreement and Section 7 of Resolution No. 15900, <br />the Parties now desire to amend the Levee Agreement on the terms and conditions set forth below to correct <br />the inconsistency in allocation percentages between the Owners.
