Subject to Sections 3.5 and 9.3 of this Agreement below, by way of example, amendments that would hinder, impede or cause an unreasonable delay or increase in cost of the Project as authorized by the Existing Project Approvals and therefore would be considered in conflict with the Applicable Laws include amendments that would: (i) Prevent all or a portion of the Project or the Property from being developed, used, operated or maintained in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, Existing Project Approvals, or Applicable Laws; (ii) Limit or reduce the overall density, intensity or unit count of the Project, or any part thereof, to a density, intensity or unit count that is lower than that specified in this Agreement, Existing Project Approvals or Applicable Laws; (iii) Modify any land use designation or conditional use of the Property in a manner inconsistent with this Agreement, Existing Project Approvals, or Applicable Laws; (iv) Limit or control the rate, timing, phasing or sequencing of the approval, development, construction or occupancy of all or any portion of the Project or Property except as specifically permitted by this Agreement; (v) Subject to Sections 3.5 and 9.3 of this Agreement below, impose any condition, dedication or exaction that would conflict with this Agreement, Existing Project Approvals, or Applicable Laws; (vi) Require the issuance of discretionary permits or nondiscretionary permits, to the extent such permits impose new or different substantive requirements on Owner or the Project that are not otherwise required by Applicable Laws, Existing Project Approvals, or this Agreement; (vii) Apply to the Project any provision, condition or restriction that would be inconsistent with this Agreement, Existing Project Approvals, or Applicable Law; (viii) Apply to the Project any rent control or price control provisions or tenant protections or uniform or prevailing wage requirements except to the extent required under state law, unless otherwise permitted by this Agreement; (ix) Limit or control the location of buildings, structures, grading, or other improvements of the Project or the Property in a manner that is inconsistent with or more 2091/025068-0045 21015114.2 a09/18/24 -11- restrictive than the limitations included in this Agreement, Existing Project Approvals, or Applicable Laws; (x) Limit or control the availability of public utilities, services or facilities or any privileges or rights to public utilities, services or facilities in a manner other than as specifically set forth in this Agreement or Applicable Law (for example, water rights, water connections or wastewater treatment capacity rights, sewer connections, etc., if under the control or jurisdiction of the City) for the Project or the Property; (xi) Apply to the Project or the Property any City Law allowed by this Agreement that is not uniformly applied on a City-wide basis to other development projects and properties; (xii) (except as identified and discussed at Sections 3.5 and 9.3 of this Agreement below), establish, enact, increase, or impose against the Project any fees, Development Impact Fees, assessments, liens or other monetary obligations other than (i) those specifically permitted by this Agreement, and (ii) City-wide taxes and assessments (provided such City-wide taxes or assessments are not disproportionately applied to the Property); or (xiii) Limit the processing or issuance of amendments to Existing Project Approvals or Future Project Approvals other than as specifically set forth in this Agreement or Applicable Law. 3.4 Development Impact Fees. All Project Development Impact Fees will be paid prior to final inspection of any building permits for the Project unless otherwise noted in this Agreement. Development Impact Fees and permit application amounts will be based on the rate set forth in the City’s Master Fee Schedule at the time the fees are paid for any building permit in each Phased Residential Development. Owner understands that the fees set forth in the Master Fee Schedule are subject to annual increases every October 1st. 3.5 Reserved Authority. The City may apply changes in City Laws, regulations, ordinances, standards or policies specifically mandated by changes in state or federal law in compliance with Article 10 herein. This provision shall not affect any mitigation measures required of Owner under the environmental document certified for the Project. 3.6 Owner’s Option to Apply New Rules. Owner may elect, with the City Manager’s consent, to have applied to the Project any rules, regulations, policies, ordinances, or standards enacted after the Effective Date of this Agreement. The City Manager shall not unreasonably withhold said consent. 3.7 Modifications to Existing Project Approvals. It is contemplated by the Parties to this Agreement that the Owner may seek modifications to the Existing Project Approvals from time to time. These modifications are contemplated as within the scope of this Agreement and shall, if approved by the City, be incorporated into and constitute for all purposes an Existing Project Approval. Owner and City agree that any such modifications to Existing Project Approvals will not constitute an amendment to this Agreement nor require an amendment to the Agreement. The City shall process and act on such applications in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Applicable Law. 3.8 Moratorium and other Limitations. Subject to Sections 3.9, 9.3 and 10.1 of this Agreement below, this Project is exempt from any moratorium or other limitation (whether relating to the rate, timing, phasing or sequencing of development) affecting subdivision maps, building permits, certificates of occupancy or other land use entitlements that are approved or to be approved, issued or granted within the City. To the maximum extent permitted by law, City must prevent any City Law from invalidating or prevailing over all or any part of this Agreement, and City must cooperate with Owner and undertake such actions as needed to ensure this Agreement remains in full force and effect. If City applies to the Project a City Law that Owner believes to conflict with Applicable Laws or this Agreement, Owner may take such action as may be permitted under Section 12.16 and Article 8 herein. Except as allowed under this Agreement, City must not support, adopt or enact any City Law, or take any other action, which would violate the express provisions of this Agreement or the Existing Project Approvals. Owner may also challenge in court any City Law that would conflict with Applicable Laws or this Agreement or reduce the development rights provided by this Agreement, in accordance with the dispute resolution provisions of Section 12.19 below. 3.9 State and Federal Law. As provided in Government Code § 65869.5, in the event that state or federal laws or regulations, enacted after the Effective Date (“Changes in the Law”) prevent or preclude compliance with one or more provisions of this Agreement, such provisions of the Agreement will be, by operation of law, modified or suspended, or performance thereof delayed, as and to the extent that may be necessary to comply with such Changes in the Law. 3.10 Time for Construction and Completion of Project. Because the California Supreme Court held in Pardee Construction Co. v. City of Camarillo, 37 Cal. 3d 465 (1984), that the failure of the parties to provide for the timing of development resulted in a later adopted initiative restricting the timing of development to prevail over such parties’ agreement, it is the intention of the City and Owner to cure that deficiency by specifically acknowledging that timing and phasing of development is completely and exclusively governed by the Existing Project Approvals, except as set forth herein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein: 3.10.1 In the event Owner does not submit a complete grading Permit Application to the City, receive design review and/or a Tentative Tract Map approvals from the City, obtain Final Map approval, obtain grading permits, and begin grading, all as for or related to the entire Phase 1 Residential Development during the Initial Term, subject to extension for force majeure (defined in Section 12.11 of this Agreement below), this Agreement shall immediately and automatically terminate, unless extended at the discretion of the City Council, and the City shall have the right to initiate a rezoning action to revert the zoning of Lots 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 9 to Freeway Commercial (“FC”) zoning.

Further, no later than the end of the time or term of the Second Extension identified and discussed in Section 2.2 of this Agreement above, subject to extension for force majeure, Owner shall have completed vertical construction and obtained issuance of Certificates of Occupancy by the City for the entire Phase 1 Residential Development, or the City shall have 2091/025068-0045 21015114.2 a09/18/24 -13- the right to initiate a rezoning action to revert the zoning of Lots 7 and 8 to FC zoning. Owner hereby consents to such rezoning and waives any right and ability to contest such rezoning. The construction of the Phase 1 Residential Development will include the extension of Town Center Drive (as indicated on the Tentative Tract Map). 3.10.2 In the event Owner does not submit a complete grading Permit Application to the City, receive design review and/or a Tentative Tract Map approvals from the City, obtain Final Map approval, and obtain grading permits, all as for or related to the entire Phase 2 Residential Development within the term of the First Extension Term, subject to extension for force majeure (defined in Section 12.11 of this Agreement below), this Agreement shall immediately and automatically terminate, unless extended at the discretion of the City Council, and the City shall have the right to initiate a rezoning action to revert the zoning of Lots 1, 2, and 5 to FC zoning.

Owner hereby consents to such rezoning and waives any right and ability to contest such rezoning. ARTICLE 4 PROCESSING PROJECT 4.1 Processing of Future Project Approvals. City will accept for processing development applications and requests for Future Project Approvals, or other entitlements with respect to the development and use of the Property and will consider such matters in accordance with the appropriate process set forth in the Applicable Laws. The City will diligently work towards the timely issuance of such entitlements, including grading plans, improvement plans, and other plans or permits, as needed to issue building permits. City shall retain its discretionary authority to act on Future Project Approvals and apply City Laws to such matters, provided the City Laws do not conflict with Applicable Laws or the rights provided by this Agreement. In addition, the City may also apply changes in City Laws, regulations, ordinances, standards or policies specifically mandated by changes in state or federal law in compliance with Article 10 herein. 4.2 Length of Validity of Tentative Subdivision Maps. Government Code section 66452.6 provides that tentative subdivision map(s) may remain valid for a length up to the term of a Development Agreement. The City agrees that all tentative subdivision maps (vesting or otherwise) for the Project, shall be for a term coterminous with the length of this Agreement. 4.3 Pre-Final Map Development. If Owner desires to do certain work on the Property (for example, grading) after approval of a tentative map, but prior to the recordation of a final map, it may do so by obtaining a grading permit and/or other required approvals from the City prior to recordation of a final map. The permit or approval may be approved or denied by the City in accordance with the requirements of the Applicable Laws and other City regulations or policies as may be applicable; provided the Owner is in compliance with this Agreement and with the terms of all Existing Project Approvals and Future Project Approvals. In addition, the Owner shall be required to post a bond or other reasonably adequate security required by City in an amount reasonably determined by the City to assure the rehabilitation of the land if the applicable final map does not record. 4.4 Transfer of Rights and Obligations of Development. Whenever Owner conveys a portion of the Property, the rights and obligations of this Agreement shall transfer in accordance with Article 5 herein. 4.5 Cooperation with respect to Project Improvements and Infrastructure. The Parties shall reasonably cooperate with each other to take all actions necessary and appropriate to facilitate the timely development of Project Improvements and Infrastructure. 4.6 City’s Acceptance of Dedications. Owner offers of dedication required by this Agreement or the Existing Project Approvals must be accepted by City within a reasonable time, provided that the applicable improvements are completed consistent with Applicable Law. 4.7 Community Purpose Facilities. Owner is required to provide land for community purpose facilities (“CPF”) based upon a ratio of 1.39 acres per 1,000 residents in accordance with Section 19.48.025 of the City’s Municipal Code. For example, for 435 units, Owner would be required to provide approximately 1.56 acres at full build out. For the maximum density of 840 multifamily residential units, Owner would be required to provide approximately 3.01 acres at full build out. If built in phases the CPF requirement shall be proportional to the number of units built. A population factor of 2.58 residents per unit applies to this calculation. The Owner shall enter into a CPF agreement with the City prior to recordation of the first Final Map for the Project which could include one or both of the following method of alternative compliance to Chula Vista Municipal Code (“CVMC”) Chapter 19.48.025: (i) Provide excess of 10% affordable residential units based on the number of units built in the Project. (ii) Provide indoor community space on the Mall Property at a ratio of 7,800 square feet of affordable CPF space per 1 acre of required community purpose facility 2091/025068-0045 21015114.2 a09/18/24 -15- obligation. The affordable CPF space would be provided an allowance for tenant improvements that would result in a rent free space on the Mall Property. This conversion is based on Floor Area Ratio (“FAR”) conversion using the below methodology: The existing center has approximately 670,000 square feet of commercial development. The Mall Property is 78.29 acres which equates to a FAR of 0.196. Applying this methodology equates to the below proposed indoor affordable CPF space square footage: 435 units 1.56 acres 0.196 13,319 sf 840 units 3.01 acres 0.196 25,699 sf Uses for this space would include but not be limited to services outlined in CVMC Chapter 19.48.025, or other uses as approved by the Director of Development Services, or their designee. 4.8 Parkland Obligations. Owner is required to comply with the City’s Parklands and Public Facilities Ordinance, Chula Vista Municipal Code (“CVMC”) Chapter 17.10 (“PLDO”), as amended, in effect at the time of issuance of any building permit for the Project. The PLDO requires new residential development projects to provide land and improvements for parks and recreational facilities, allows for a credit against the payment of in-lieu fees or dedication of land if the developer provides the park and recreational improvements, and permits the City to require a combination of dedication and payment of in-lieu fees if the City determines that the combination would better serve the public. The Project is required to provide up to 6.57 usable acres of developed parkland if the construction reaches the maximum density of 840 multi-family residential units, based upon the persons per household factor established by the PLDO of 2.61 persons per attached multi-family dwelling unit and 3.0 usable acres of park per 1,000 residents. If built in phases, the amount of parkland provided in each phase shall be proportional to the units built as indicated in the below chart. The City, by entering into this Agreement, finds that, due to the unique, urban, high-density nature of the Project and its proximity within the Otay Ranch Town Center mall, Owner cannot provide suitable land to satisfy the entire 6.57 usable acre parkland requirement solely through the dedication and improvement of parkland. The City further finds that, as a result of the urban, high- density nature of the Project, the public interest and the park and recreation needs of the Project’s future residents would be better served through a combination of parkland acreage, parkland development improvements, and in-lieu fees. The parkland obligation for the first 350 units developed as part of the Project shall be satisfied via the provision of on-site privately maintained parkland, which shall be open to the public, at a rate of 0.80 usable acres of parkland for every 100 residential units, as outlined in Column D of the below table. After construction of the 350th residential unit, the remaining parkland obligation of up to 4.01 usable acres will be satisfied via payment of in-lieu park benefit fees. The park benefit fee amount is equal to the Parkland Acquisition and Parkland Development fees at the time of building permit issuance for any building permit for the Project. Park Lots E and F shall not be provided park development credit for existing park amenities and shall be required to pay the in-lieu development fees. Upon the Building Permit triggers listed below, Owner must have submitted a formal submission package for the design for the required usable parkland acreage for the applicable Project phase to the City of Chula Vista: Owner shall use the City’s customary procedures to design and obtain the City’s reasonable approval for the design of the Parks listed above. The Parks shall be designed consistent with the applicable requirements of an approved Park Master Plan, the City’s Landscape Manual and the City’s Parks and Recreation Master Plan. The Project’s Park Master Plan once completed, shall be presented to the Parks & Recreation Commission and must be approved by City Council. Each identified Park Lot may have a Master Plan or all identified Park Lots may be included in one Master Plan. 4.9 Park Budget. The construction costs established at the time the Park Lot construction documents are approved by the City and shall reflect the requirement established by the parkland development component of the PLDO at the time it is due. The Owner or its successor shall submit for City review and obtain City approval of the Park Lot construction budget for each Park Lot prior to construction commencement. 4.10 Park Maintenance Establishment Period. The period of time between Completion of Construction and the City’s final approval of the completed Park Lot, as identified in the above table, in which the contractor is responsible for maintaining the Park Lot to ensure that the plant material is fully established before its opened for public use, and that other park improvements such as irrigation systems, electrical systems, and park equipment or facilities that are fully operational and functional. The duration of this period and maintenance operations will be specified in the contract documents for each Park Lot, subject to reasonable adjustments as determined by the City's Director of Development Services, or their designee, in their sole discretion. 4.11 Documentation of Costs for Park Lots. Owner shall, within sixty (60) days of Completion of Construction of the Park Lot, provide City, for its review and approval, all documentation City reasonably requires to evidence the completion and costs of the Park Lot. Developer shall, within sixty (60) days of completion of the Maintenance Establishment Period, provide the City, for its review and approval, all documentation City reasonably requires to evidence the satisfactory completion of the Maintenance Establishment Period.

Upon the commencement of construction of any Park Lot, the Owner shall post security, including one or more bonds in accordance with the CVMC, for the construction of the Park Lot. City may use that security to complete construction of such Park Lot should Owner fail to meet its obligations to do so. City may reduce and release the securities pursuant to City's customary procedures and schedules pro rata upon completion of the park lot. Bond shall be based on the accepted Bid amount for construction of the Park Lot and shall be in place prior to commencement of construction of the Park Lot. 4.13 Public Benefit Contribution. Owner shall pay the City $5,000 per residential dwelling unit developed pursuant to this Agreement as a public benefit contribution. Said amount shall be paid no later than the time of final inspection by the City for such residential dwelling units. In addition to other available remedies to the City in this Agreement, failure by Owner to timely pay the Public Benefit Contribution shall result in the City immediately and indefinitely suspending and withholding the processing of any Project application, the inspection or review of any Project permit, and the issuance of any certificate of occupancy relating to the Project. ARTICLE 5 PARTIAL TERMINATION 5.1 Termination of Agreement with Respect to Lots to Public. The provisions of Article 5 shall not apply to the sale, or lease (for a period longer than one year) of any lot which has been finally subdivided and is individually (and not in “bulk”) sold or leased to a member of the public or other ultimate user who intends to occupy the parcel. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, this Agreement shall terminate with respect to any such lot and such lot shall be released and no longer be subject to this Agreement without the execution or recordation of any further document upon the sale of such lot as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence. 5.2 Partial Termination. The Owner has the right to request that the City approve a partial termination of this Agreement, to release a portion(s) of the Property from the Agreement’s obligations and benefits. A partial termination shall be approved by the City if Owner demonstrates to City that the portion(s) of the Property to be released from the Agreement’s obligations is/are not needed to satisfy any of the obligations established in this Agreement. If City makes such a determination, such released property shall not be subject to any of the obligations created in this Agreement, and, similarly, shall not receive any of the benefits granted in this Agreement. 5.3 Releases. City agrees that upon written request of Owner and provided that all payments and the requirements and conditions required by this Agreement and the Existing Project Approvals and any applicable Future Project Approvals have been fully performed and satisfied in the City’s determination, with respect to the Released Property (defined below) City may execute and deliver to Owner appropriate release(s) of obligations imposed by this Agreement in a form (attached to this Agreement as Exhibit D) and substance acceptable to the City and the County Recorder and title insurance company, if any, or as may otherwise be necessary to effect the release of a portion of the Property (“Released Property”) to an individual home buyer or parcel of property that has been built out and sold to an ultimate consumer. City Manager shall not unreasonably withhold approval of such release(s). ARTICLE 6 ANNUAL REVIEW 6.1 City and Owner Responsibilities. The City will, at least every twelve (12) months during the Term of this Agreement, pursuant to California Government Code section 65865.1, review the extent of good faith substantial compliance by Owner with the terms of this Agreement. Pursuant to California Government Code section 65865.1, as amended, Owner shall have the duty to demonstrate by substantial evidence its good faith compliance with the terms of this Agreement at the periodic review. Either City or Owner may address any requirement of the Agreement during the review. 6.2 Review Letter. If Owner is found to be in compliance with this Agreement after the annual review, City shall, within forty-five (45) days after Owner’s written request, issue a review letter in recordable form to Owner (“Letter”) stating that based upon information known or made known to the City Council, the City Planning Commission and/or the City Manager, this Agreement remains in effect and Owner is not in default. The owner may record the Letter in the Official Records of the City of San Diego. 6.3 Failure of Periodic Review. City’s failure to review at least annually Owner’s compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall not constitute, or be asserted by City or Owner as, a default by Owner or City with respect to the Agreement, or prevent the City from raising at any time any issue about Owner’s compliance with the Agreement. ARTICLE 7 ENCUMBRANCES AND RELEASES ON PROPERTY 7.1 Discretion to Encumber. This Agreement shall not prevent or limit Owner in any manner at Owner’s sole discretion, from encumbering the Property, or any portion of the Property, or any improvement on the Property, including, without limitation, by any mortgage, deed of trust, or other security device securing financing with respect to all or any portion of the Property or its improvement. Any such mortgage, deed of trust, or other security device securing financing shall be subordinate to the City’s interests in this Agreement. 7.2 Mortgagee Rights and Obligations. The mortgagee of a mortgage or beneficiary of a deed of trust encumbering the Property, or any part thereof, and their successors and assigns shall, upon written request to City, be entitled to receive, from City written notification of any default by Owner of the performance of Owner’s obligations under the Agreement which has not been cured within thirty (30) days following the date of default. If there are no such defaults by Owner, the City Manager shall notify the requesting Party of that fact in writing. 7.3 Subordination. Owner agrees to enter into subordination agreements with all lenders having a mortgage, deed of trust, lien, or other security device securing financing with respect to the Property or its improvement to ensure that the provisions of this Agreement bind such mortgage holders, trust holders, lienholders, or security device holders should they take title to all or part of the Property through a quitclaim deed, sale, foreclosure or any other means of transfer of property. As a condition precedent to obtaining the benefits that accrue to the Owner or the Property under this Agreement, this Agreement by and through said subordination agreements 2091/025068-0045 21015114.2 a09/18/24 -19- shall be prior and superior to such mortgages, deeds of trust, liens, or other security devices securing financing with respect to the Property or its improvement. The owner shall deliver to the City the fully executed subordination agreements for the Property in a form acceptable to the City Manager or their designee and suitable for recording, prior to the second reading of the ordinance adopting the Agreement. ARTICLE 8 DEFAULT 8.1 Events of Default. A default under this Agreement shall be deemed to have occurred upon the happening of one or more of the following events or conditions: (i) A warranty, representation or statement made or furnished by Owner to City is false or proves to have been false in any material respect when it was made. (ii) A finding and determination by City made following a periodic review under the procedure provided for in California Government Code section 65865.1 that upon the basis of substantial evidence Owner has not substantially complied with one or more of the material terms or conditions of this Agreement. (iii) City does not accept, timely review, or consider requested development permits or entitlements submitted in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. (iv) Owner fails to comply with any other material Owner obligation under the terms of this Agreement.

If either Party defaults under this Agreement, the Party alleging such default will give the breaching Party not less than thirty (30) days’ notice of default in writing. The notice of default will specify the nature of the alleged default, and, where appropriate, the manner and period of time, which shall not be less than 30 days, in which said default may be satisfactorily cured. Where the default cannot be cured within the period of time provided, but can be cured within a longer time, the Party charged will not be considered in default for the purposes of termination or institution of legal proceedings if such Party has commenced to cure such default within the time provided and thereafter pursues such cure to completion with reasonable diligence. If the default is cured, then no default will exist and the noticing Party will take no further action. 8.2 Option to Set Matter for Hearing or Institute Legal Proceedings. After proper notice and the expiration of the cure period, the noticing Party to this Agreement, at its option, may (i) institute legal proceedings or (ii) schedule hearings before the Planning Commission and the City Council for a determination as to whether this Agreement should be modified, suspended, or terminated as a result of such default. 8.3 Waiver. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to be a waiver by Owner or City of any right or privilege held by Owner or City pursuant to federal or state law, except as specifically provided herein. Any failure or delay by a Party in asserting any of its rights or remedies as to any default by the other Party will not operate as a waiver of any default or of any such rights or remedies or deprive such Party of its right to institute and maintain any actions or proceedings which it may deem necessary to protect, assert, or enforce any such rights or remedies. 8.4 Remedies upon Default. In the event of a default by either Party to this Agreement, the Parties shall have the remedies of specific performance, mandamus, injunction and other equitable remedies. In the event of a default pursuant to Section 8.l(ii) or 8.l(iv), City shall have the additional remedy, in its sole and unfettered discretion, of withholding issuance of grading, building or other permits and/or the inspection of previously issued permits. Neither Party shall have the remedy of monetary damages against the other; provided, however, that the award of costs of litigation and attorneys’ fees shall not constitute monetary damages.

Except as otherwise set forth herein, all remedies at law or in equity which are consistent with the provisions of this Agreement are available to City and Owner to pursue in the event there is a breach provided, however, neither Party shall have the remedy of monetary damages against the other except for an award of litigation costs and attorneys’ fees as provided for by this Agreement.

Except in the case of Permitted Transfers utilizing a Transfer Agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit E attached hereto, a Transferor shall obtain the City’s written consent to those provisions of any Transfer Agreement purporting to release such Transferor from any obligations arising under this Agreement (the “Release Provisions”). 11.4 City Consent. City will review and consider promptly and in good faith any request by a Transferor for City’s written consent to any transfer and/or any Release Provisions. City’s consent to any such transfer and/or Release Provisions may be withheld only if, in light of the proposed Transferee’s reputation and financial resources, such Transferee would not in City’s reasonable discretion be able to fully and timely perform the obligations proposed to be assumed by such Transferee. In no event will City’s consent to any transfer and/or Release Provisions be unreasonably withheld. 2091/025068-0045 21015114.2 a09/18/24 -23- 11.5 Non-Assuming Transferees. Except as otherwise required by Owner in Owner’s sole discretion, the burdens, obligations and duties of Owner under this Agreement terminate with respect to, and neither a Transfer Agreement nor City’s consent is required in connection with any individual single-family residence (and its associated lot) that has received a certificate of occupancy and been conveyed to a third party. The transferee in such a transaction and its successors (“Non-Assuming Transferees”) are deemed to have no obligations under this Agreement. Nothing in this section exempts any property transferred to a Non-Assuming Transferee from payment of applicable fees and assessments or compliance with applicable conditions of approval.
