C. This Covenant Agreement is made pursuant to that certain Owner Participation Agreement by and between the Agency and SL NO HO, LLC, a California limited liability company.

(“SL No Ho”) dated March 5, 2002 as amended by that certain First Implementation Agreement to Owner Participation Agreement dated as of November 18, 2002, that certain Second Implementation Agreement to Owner Participation Agreement dated as of December 12, 2003, and that certain Partial Assignment Of Owner Participation Agreement And Consent To Assignment dated December 18, 2003 by and among the Agency, the Owner and SL No Ho (the “OPA”), which is a public record on file at the offices of the Agency. The Property is a portion of the real property referred to in the OPA as the “Site”. In the event of any conflict between the OPA and this Covenant Agreement, the terms of the OPA shall prevail.

D. All capitalized terms in this Covenant Agreement shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the OPA, unless provided otherwise herein.

Agency and Owner agree as follows:

I. Owner hereby covenants and agrees on behalf of itself and any successors and assigns in the Property or any portion thereof or any improvements thereon or any interest therein that Owner, such successors and assigns shall comply with and be bound by the following covenants (hereinafter referred to as the “Construction Covenants”):

A. Develop and construct improvements on the Property solely in accordance with the Redevelopment Plan, all applicable Grant Deeds, this Covenant Agreement, the OPA (including but not limited to the Scope of Development and the Concept Plan), and plans approved by the City of Los Angeles.

II. Owner hereby covenants and agrees on behalf of itself and any successors and assigns in the Property or any portion thereof or any improvements thereon or any interest therein that Owner, such successors and assigns shall comply with and be bound by the following covenants (hereinafter referred to as the “Surviving Covenants”):

Pay when due all real estate taxes, and the special taxes or assessments of any bond financing issued by the Agency or City in connection with the redevelopment of the Property, assessed and levied on the Property or any portion thereof or any improvements thereon or any interest therein and refrain from appealing, challenging or contesting in any manner the validity or

amount of any ad valorem property tax assessment, encumbrance or lien, or the special tax or lien of such bonds; provided, however, that Owner may appeal, challenge or contest (i) the initial assessment of the assessed value of the Property following the issuance of the Release of Construction Covenants by Agency to the extent that such initial assessment is more than ten percent (10%) higher than the Project Cost approved by the Agency pursuant to the OPA; and (ii) any increase in assessment of the Property improperly assessed because of a purported change of ownership where no such change took place; and (iii) any assessment occurring by reason of a bona fide arms-length sale of the Property or any portion thereof to the extent such assessment results in an assessment in excess of the purchase price of such bona fide arms-length sale, provided, however, that no such appeal, challenge or contest results in an assessment which is lower than that existing prior to such sale.
