of this Agreement to date of payment. Thereafter, all proceeds
SETTLEMENT AND MUTUAL RELEASE AGREEMENT
3a[14733-12C]AGREEMENT.S
from the sale of assets shall remain the AGENCY's, free and clear
of any lien or encumbrance of WMAC.
2. Rather than liquidate the assets, AGENCY may
instead elect to service the assets. In such event, AGENCY shall
pay to WMAC on a monthly basis thirty-four percent (34%) of the
net assets payment made by the mortgagor until-such time as WMAC
has been reimbursed the sum of $155,000.00 plus any additional
TRUSTEE litigation expenses required to be paid by WMAC under the
provisions of Section 4.B.5. above, plus accrued interest equal
to five percent (5%) per annum compounded annually, from the date
of this Agreement to date of payment. The term "net assets
payment" collected from the mortgagor by AGENCY is defined as the
gross assets payment made by the mortgagor less customary and
necessary servicing fees and costs to AGENCY of one-half percent
(0.5%) of the payment which represents a servicing fee to the
AGENCY.
3. The AGENCY may elect not to liquidate the entire
assets, but may, instead, determine to transfer a portion of the
assets to WMAC in an amount sufficient to reimburse WMAC the sum
of $155~000.00 plus any additional TRUSTEE litigation expenses
required to be paid by WMAC under the provisions of Section
4.B.5. above, plus accrued interest equal to five percent (5%)
per annum compounded annually from the date of this Agreement to
date of payment. Under such election, AGENCY shall notify WMAC
of its intention to transfer assets so that the parties may
determine the value of the assets to be transferred. The assets
SETTLEMENT AND MUTUAL RELEASE AGREEMENT
3a[14733-12c]AGREEMENT.8
shall be valued at the prevailing market rate on the date AGENCY
elects to transfer and not at the face value of the assets.
Assets which remain with the AGENCY after transfer in
satisfaction of AGENCY's obligation to reimburse WMAC shall
belong to and remain with the AGENCY, free and clear, and shall
not be subject to any liens or encumbrances. In the event the
total market value of the assets on the date of election is less
than the amounts to be reimbursed to WMAC pursuant to the terms
of this Agreement, then the assets shall be divided sixty-six
percent (66%) to AGENCY, thirty-four percent (34%) to WMAC. WMAC
shall have no right of recovery against AGENCY or CITY under the
Lien and no right to any assignment or transfer of assets under
the Lien for any short fall in their anticipated reimbursement as
set out in this Section 6 of this Agreement.
4. AGENCY and WMAC, by mutual written agreement, may
extend the date of AGENCY's election for the purpose of
maximizing the return on the assets or asset proceeds. During
such extension, interest will continue to accrue on behalf of
WMAC as set forth herein.
5. The Lien in favor of WMAC and as established under
this Agreement, is not to apply to ~ny unclaimed monies
including, but not limited to, monies set aside for redemption of
outstanding bonds which may be held by the TRUSTEE or paid to the
AGENCY pursuant to Resolution No. 214, Section 1401(d) or other
provisions.

6. If the Lien established under this Agreement
re ins unsatisfied for more than thirty (30) days after the
AG'CY has made an election as set forth in sections 6.0. and
E.", through E.4., WMAC may exercise any and all rights
con:;istent with the resolutions referred to in the previous
par, ,]raphs, this Agreement, and all laws of the State of
California as they apply to public entities in order to enforce
such lien rights. In enforcing said rights, WMAC agrees that its
recourse will be limited only to assets and revenues derived from
the Residential Mortgage Bond Issue of 1979 as first described,
and specifically the proceeds thereof which are the subject of
the Lien established under this Agreement.
7. The obligation of the AGENCY to provide
reimbursement to WMAC, which is secured by the Lien established
by this Agreement, shall be payable only out of the assets and
revenues of the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Chula vista
Residential Mortgage Bond issue of 1979 and the proceeds
therefrom which are subject to the lien established in this
Agreement. No party shall have any recourse against any other
funds of the city or the AGENCY in, satisfaction of any portion of
the obligations created by this Agre~ment or the Lien imposed
hereunder.
8. paragraph 402 of the Resolution provides for
optional redemption of the bonds at the election or direction of
the AGENCY. So.long as th~ Lien in favor of WMAC remains unpaid,
AGENCY agrees not to exercise its right under Paragraph 402 to
SETTLEMENT AND MUTUAL RELEASE AGREEMENT
3a[14733-12c]AGREEMENT.a
elect or direct any optional redemption of the bonds unless the
optional redemption is deemed necessary by the AGENCY in order to
protect the. interests of the bondholders. The AGENCY is free to
exercise any of the other rights available to it under the
Resolution.
9. Any payment or transfer of assets required to be
made by AGENCY to WMAC pursuant to this Section 6, shall be made
within ninety (90) days after the duty to payor transfer arises.

SETTLEMENT AND MUTUAL RELEASE AGREEMENT
3a[14733-l2c]AGREEMENT.8
provisions of this Agreement, each of the parties releases and

been raised, in the Litigation. In furtherance of this
intention, each party hereto acknowledges that it is familiar
with Section 1542 of the civil Code of the State of California
which provides as follows:
"A general release does not extend to
claims which a creditor does not know
or suspect to exist in his favor at the
time of executing the release, which, if
known by him, must have materially affected
his settlement with the debtor."
SETTLEMENT AND MUTUAL RELEASE AGREEMENT
3a[14733-l2c)AGREEMENT.a
Each of the parties to this Agreement waives and relinquishes
every right or benefit which it has or may have had under Section
1542 of the civil Code of the State of california to the. full
extent that it may lawfully waive such rights and benefits'
pertaining to the Litigation. In connection with such waiver and
relinquishment, each party hereto acknowledges that it is aware
that it may hereinafter discover facts in addition to or
different from those facts which it now knows or believes to be
true with respect to the Litigation, but it is the intention of
each party to fully, finally and forever settle and release such
claims, grievances, disputes and differences, known or unknown,
suspected or unsuspected, which now exist, may exist, or
heretofore have existed between each of the parties hereto and
which were raised, 'or must have been raised in the Litigation and
that in furtherance of such intention, the release given herein
shall be and remain in effect as a mutual release of such claims',
notwithstanding the subsequent discovery of unknown additional or
different facts.
D. Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing-
releases, with respect to the units listed in E~hibit 3, this
Agreement shall not alter or in any.~ay affect whatever
obligations BANCO, CROCKER and/or the AGENCY, respectively, may
. have to indemnify TRUSTEE or AGENCY (as the case may require)
against certain contingencies as set out in the Residential
Mortgage Revenue Bond Resolution dated November 6, 1979, the
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements dated November 12, 1979 and
SETTLEMENT AND MUTUAL RELEASE AGREEMENT
3a[14733-12c]AGREEMENT.8
March 4, 1982 and/or related servicing agreements, purchasing
agreements, commitment contracts, addendums, supplements or
revisions (collectively the "Trust Documents"), except as
otherwise provided in paragraphs 80, E and F.'
E. Upon final approval of this settlement by the Court,
TRUSTEE agrees that before any claim for indemnity under the
Trust Documents is asserted against BANCO or CROCKER, TRUSTEE
will pursue to final resolution any claim TRUSTEE may have
against WMAC for insurance benefits on the unites) which is (are)
the subject of any such indemnity claim. BANCO and CROCKER agree
that they will toll any statute of limitations or claim of laches
for the period of time during which TRUSTEE pursues this remedy.

reasonable investigation of the claim and concluding, based on
such investigation and in good faith, that the claim is
meritorious.

TRUSTEE and AGENCY hereby waive and release any claim either or

expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred by the AGENCY

AGENCY, BANCO and CROCKER that, in order to preserve the status
SETTLEMENT AND MUTUAL RELEASE AGREEMENT
3a[14733-12C]AGREEMENT.a
quo regarding indemnity, all indemnity rights (including defenses
to an indemnity claim) of BANCO, CROCKER, AGENCY and TRUSTEE
shall be preserved in the event of any indemnity claim by-
TRUSTEE, AGENCY, BANCO or CROCKER. Thus, by way of example,
should the TRUSTEE or AGENCY seek indemnity against BANCO and/or
CROCKER, this Agreement shall not be raised by TRUSTEE and/or
AGENCY to defeat any affirmative defense (other than the statute
of limitations or laches as set forth above) or claim for
affirmative indemnity relief of BANCO or CROCKER raised in the
context of any indemnity claim by TRUSTEE and/or AGENCY.
