The RSP 2 Assignment was recorded on January 19, 2006 in the Official Records of Los Angeles County as Instrument No. 06 0128517. 1.4 On November 10, 2005, RSP and PESP's predecessor -in- interest, Rosecrans - Sepulveda Partners, 3, LLC ( "RSP 3 ") executed an Assignment and Assumption Agreement (the "RSP 3 Assignment ") whereby RSP conveyed to RSP 3, in accordance with the provisions of Section 3 of the Development Agreement, RSP's right, title, and interest in and to the Development Agreement and the Project Approvals with respect to approximately 37.3 acres of the Property (the "PESP Property" and /or "Phase 1 A "). The RSP 3 Assignment was recorded on January 19, 2006 in the Official Records of Los Angeles County as Instrument No. 06 0128518. 1.5 On July 31, 2007, RSP 3 executed an Assignment and Assumption Agreement ( "PESP Assignment ") whereby RSP 3 conveyed to PESP, in accordance with the provisions of Section 3 of the Development Agreement, RSP 3's right, title and interest in and to the Development Agreement and the Project Approvals with respect to the PESP Property. The PESP Assignment was recorded on August 3, 2007 in the Official Records of Los Angeles County as Instrument No. 2007 1838772. 44386\1 273112v 18 1 8/19/2010 b 1.6 As of June 19, 2007, City, RSP 2 and RSP 3 executed Operating Memorandum No. 1 to the Development Agreement ("Operating Memorandum No. 1 "), which Operating Memorandum No. 1 was recorded on August 14, 2007 in the Official Records of Los Angeles County as Instrument No. 20071901777. 1.7 As of July 30, 2007, City, RSP 2 and RSP 3 executed a First Amendment to Development Agreement (the "First Amendment ") which First Amendment was recorded on October 2, 2007 in the Official Records of I,os Angeles County as Instrument No. 2007 2256909. 1.8 As of March 4, 2008, City, RSP 2 and PESP executed a Second Amendment to Development Agreement (the "Second Amendment ") which Second Amendment was recorded on March 25, 2008 in the Official Records of Los Angeles County as Instrument No. 20080507797.

As the Project has evolved, the Developer realized that certain service - oriented businesses provide an excellent complement to the retail tenant base and, in fact, have and will greatly assisted in insuring the survival of the small tenants who are not destination - oriented. The addition of the proposed uses within this Fourth Amendment are consistent with the goal of maintaining a thriving retail center with minimal vacancies and with the attendant production of sales tax proceeds to the City. Without these uses, the Developer believes that the vacancies that currently exist will remain for the foreseeable future and the boutique tenants will face a greater chance of failure. 1.11 Section 4. 1.11 is added by this Fourth Amendment to allow the use of a certified farmer's market. The use is intended to be primarily the sale of retail goods such as but not limited to produce, baked goods, dairy products, flowers and other food and retail items direct to consumers from farmers and other vendors.

Traffic studies have shown that this use will not have a negative impact on the access or parking availability during the farmer's market operation. 1.12 Section 4.1.12 is added by this Fourth Amendment to allow the uses of medical and dental offices and ancillary uses on a limited basis, in Phase 1. 44386 \1273112v18 2 8/19/2010 34, f; 5C� 1.13 Section 4.1.13 is added by this Fourth Amendment to allow the use of an automobile sales and service center.
