2.2 Entitlement Transfer Approval Process.
2.2.1 Entitlement Transfer Approval Process. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Entitlement Transfer will require discretionary Governmental Approvals, including Approvals of amendments to (i) the CP/HPS2 DDA and the HPS1 DDA (collectively, the “DDA Amendments”), (ii) the BVHP Redevelopment Plan and the Shipyard Redevelopment Plan (collectively, the “Redevelopment Plan Amendments”), and (iii) other regulatory or planning documents or agreements related to the HPS1 Project and the CP/HPS2 Project (together with the DDA Amendments and the Redevelopment Plan Amendments, the “Entitlement Transfer Amendments”). The Governmental Approvals are expected to require public hearings before, and Approvals from, the Agency (including the Agency’s Commission and its Oversight Board) and various City bodies, including the City’s Planning Commission and its Board of Supervisors, Approvals from the State of California Department of Finance and review under the California Environmental Quality Act (collectively, the “Entitlement Transfer Approval Process”).

CPHP agrees that TSC will cause CPDC to take the lead role in all aspects of the Entitlement Transfer Approval Process, including negotiating the Entitlement Transfer Amendments with the Agency (and, to the extent required, with the City and the State of California), establishing the terms thereof, and determining the timing and sequence of the Governmental Approvals; provided, however, such Entitlement Transfer Amendments shall be subject to (i) TSC’s Approval in its sole and absolute discretion and (ii) CPHP’s Approval, which Approval shall be limited to those provisions of the Entitlement Transfer Amendments that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the development, ownership or use of the HPS1 Project and/or the development, ownership or use of (a) the “CP Parking Parcel” as such term is defined in that certain CP Parking Parcel Agreement and Joint Escrow Instructions by and between CPDC and CPHP dated as of May 2, 2016, (b) the “Parcels” as such term is defined in that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement and Joint Escrow Instructions (Apartments) by and between CPDC and Block 6aS, 8aS and 9aS Developer dated as of May 2, 2016 or (c) Block 6aS, 8aS and 9aS. Upon request from TSC, CPHP shall provide (or cause HPS to
6
provide) any reasonably requested assistance and support in connection with the Governmental Approvals, including appearances at public hearings, execution of applications and associated documents and agreements and communications with representatives of the Governmental Entities in support of the Governmental Approvals and the Entitlement Transfer Amendments.
2.2.3 CP/HPS2 Project Amendments. CPHP acknowledges that TSC currently anticipates CPDC will seek Approvals from Governmental Entities of amendments to the CP/HPS2 DDA, the BVHP Redevelopment Plan and the Shipyard Redevelopment Plan, and other regulatory or planning documents or agreements related to the CP/HPS2 Project for matters other than the Entitlement Transfer (collectively, the “CP/HPS2 Project Amendments”). CPHP agrees that TSC may, in its sole and absolute discretion, cause CPDC to pursue the CP/HPS2 Project Amendments simultaneously with the Entitlement Transfer Amendments (including by consolidating the associated hearings, documents and Approvals) (the “Consolidated Approvals”).
2.3 Cost Allocation. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.3, each Party shall pay fifty percent (50%) of the total aggregate costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, incurred by the Parties in connection with the Governmental Approvals (collectively, “Entitlement Transfer Costs”). Each Party shall, from time to time and upon reasonable request from the other Party, provide the other Party with invoices and other reasonably requested documentation evidencing the Entitlement Transfer Costs incurred by such Party (provided, that neither Party shall be required to provide any documentation that would serve to waive any attorney-client privilege, the work product doctrine or any other applicable privilege). In the event either Party overpaid its allocation of the Entitlement Transfer Costs, the Party that underpaid its allocation of the Entitlement Transfer Costs shall reimburse the overpaying Party in the amount necessary to bring each Party’s allocation of Entitlement Transfer Costs equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Entitlement Transfer Costs no later than fifteen (15) Business Days following submittal of invoices or documentation evidencing such overpayment. If CPDC pursues the Consolidated Approvals: (i) CPHP shall not be responsible for the payment of any portion of Entitlement Transfer Costs to the extent related solely to the CP/HPS2 Project Amendments; and (ii) the Parties shall reasonably and equitably allocate the Entitlement Transfer Costs such that the Entitlement Transfer Costs that are related solely to the CP/HPS2 Project Amendments are paid by TSC (or CPDC) and the remaining Entitlement Transfer Costs are paid in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 2.3. For purposes of this Section 2.3, the Entitlement Transfer Costs incurred by CPHP shall include the Entitlement Transfer Costs incurred by HPS and the Entitlement Transfer Costs incurred by TSC shall include the Entitlement Transfer Costs incurred by CPDC. This Section 2.3 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
2.4 Litigation. If a Claim is made against CPDC, HPS or any Governmental Entity related to the Entitlement Transfer Amendments or the Entitlement Transfer Approval Process, CPHP agrees that, as between CPHP and HPS on the one hand, and TSC and CPDC on the other hand, TSC shall be solely responsible for controlling the defense of the Claim, including retaining counsel for such defense, and that the costs and expenses of the defense of such Claim, including reasonable attorney’s fees and costs, shall be included as Entitlement Transfer Costs subject to allocation as set forth in Section 2.3; provided that, such costs shall be borne solely by
7
TSC to the extent arising from the willful misconduct of CPDC or TSC, and provided further that, without Approval of CPHP, TSC shall not settle or compromise any Claim on a basis that would result in (i) the imposition of a consent order, injunction or decree that would affect the future activity or conduct of CPHP or HPS, (ii) a finding or admission that would have an adverse effect on other Claims made or threatened against CPHP or HPS, (iii) any monetary liability of CPHP or HPS that will not be promptly paid or reimbursed by TSC to CPHP, or (iv) any admission of wrongdoing or guilt on the part of CPHP or any of its Affiliates. CPHP shall cooperate with all actions taken by TSC pursuant to this Section 2.4, including by executing reasonable documentation to the extent necessary for TSC to defend any Claims brought against the Entitlement Transfer Amendments and/or the Entitlement Transfer Approval Process. This Section 2.4 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
2.5 Termination of Entitlement Transfer and Entitlement Transfer Approval Process. If at any time prior to receipt of the Governmental Approvals (x) TSC or CPHP does not Approve the terms or conditions required by any Governmental Entity for the Entitlement Transfer in accordance with Section 2.2.2, including the terms and conditions of any Entitlement Transfer Amendments, or (y) TSC determines in its sole and absolute discretion, based on the information available to it, that the Entitlement Transfer will not result in a net benefit to CPDC equal to not less than the aggregate projected amount of the Revenue Participation considering its projections of, among other things, (a) the Entitlement Transfer Costs, (b) the timing of the Governmental Approvals, (c) the conditions to be imposed by Governmental Entities on the Entitlement Transfer, (d) challenges or appeals to any Approvals from Governmental Entities to effectuate the Entitlement Transfer and the likelihood of the success thereof, and (e) the value of the Excess Entitlements, then, in either case, TSC may elect by written notice thereof to CPHP to terminate this Agreement. Upon any such termination, the Parties shall reasonably cooperate to terminate the Entitlement Transfer and the Entitlement Transfer Approval Process and any restrictions on the actions of CPHP in Sections 2.7 and 5.1.1 shall terminate.
2.6 Reconveyance of Revenue Participation Deed of Trust. Contemporaneously with the Closing (as defined in the Block 6aS, 8aS and 9aS PSA), a Deed of Trust, Assignment of Rents, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing (the “Revenue Participation Deed of Trust”) will be recorded against Block 6aS, 8aS and 9aS in favor of CPDC securing Block 6aS, 8aS and 9aS Developer’s obligation to pay, or cause Block 6aS, 8aS and 9aS Developer to, contemporaneously with the closing of the sale of each DU (as defined in the Block 6aS, 8aS and 9aS PSA) in the Project (as defined in the Block 6aS, 8aS and 9aS PSA) to a member of the homebuying public, pay to CPDC an amount equal to two percent (2%) of the gross purchase price paid for such DU (the “Revenue Participation”). Upon receipt of the Governmental Approvals, Block 6aS, 8aS and 9aS Developer’s obligation to pay the Revenue Participation shall terminate and TSC shall cause CPDC to (i) provide a release or other evidence of such termination in a form Approved by CPHP, (ii) reconvey the Revenue Participation Deed of Trust to Block 6aS, 8aS and 9aS Developer and (iii) repay to Block 6aS, 8aS and 9aS Developer within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Governmental Approvals any Revenue Participation paid pursuant to the Block 6aS, 8aS and 9aS PSA prior to the receipt of the Governmental Approvals.

Any such mediation shall be held in San Francisco, California, before a mediator selected by the Parties in accordance with this Section 3.1.

If the Parties are unable to agree upon a referee within ten (10) days after a written request to do so by any Party, then any Party may petition the court in which the action is filed or to the judge to whom the matter has been assigned (the “Judge”) to appoint a special referee, which appointment shall be binding on the Parties. For the guidance of the court or Judge making the appointment of the special referee, the Parties agree that the person so appointed shall be a member of the California Bar experienced in the subject matter of the dispute.
10
3.2.3 Agreement to Appoint Proposed Special Referee. The Parties recognize that there is no action pending at the present time in which the Parties can stipulate to the appointment of a special referee, and there is no statute authorizing such a stipulation in advance of the filing of an action in the superior court. The Parties also recognize that the appointment of a special referee pursuant to the California Code of Civil Procedure section 638 et seq. would be preferable to a general reference to the superior court or the master-in-equity for the county in which the action is filed. In the event that an action is filed to resolve any dispute, upon the application of any Party to refer the dispute to a referee as provided herein, the Parties shall consent to and shall use their best efforts to effect the referral of the dispute to a special referee in accordance with the California Code of Civil Procedure section 638 et seq.
3.2.4 Discovery. Discovery shall be allowed and conducted under the supervision of the special referee pursuant to the provisions of the California Code of Civil Procedure section 638 et seq.
3.2.5 Decision and Jurisdiction of Referee. The special referee shall exercise all power and authority which a superior court judge sitting without a jury would have in a similar matter, including any and all pre-trial issues, motions, and discovery disputes. When the special referee has decided the dispute, the special referee shall enter a final judgment without further order of the court. The judgment entered by the special referee shall be appealable to the Supreme Court of California or the Court of Appeals of California as provided by the California Appellate Court Rules.
3.2.6 Cooperation. The Parties shall diligently cooperate with one another and the person appointed as special referee to resolve the dispute and shall perform such acts as may be necessary or appropriate to obtain a prompt and expeditious resolution of the dispute. If either Party refuses to diligently cooperate, and the other Party, after first giving notice of its intent to rely on the provisions of this subsection, incurs additional expenses or attorneys’ fees solely as a result of such failure to diligently cooperate, the special referee may award such additional expenses and attorneys’ fees to the Party giving such notice, even if such Party is not the prevailing Party in the dispute.
3.2.7 Allocation of Costs. The compensation of the special referee shall be paid by the Parties in such amount as shall be set by the special referee, subject to review by the superior court upon objection by any Party within ten (10) days of receipt of the order. The prevailing Party in the proceeding shall be entitled to recover, in addition to any other fees or costs allowed by this Agreement, its contribution for the reasonable costs of the special referee as an item of recoverable costs. If either Party refuses to pay its share of the costs of the proceeding at the time required, the other Party may do so in which event that Party will be entitled to recover (or offset) the amount advanced, with interest at the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law, even if that Party is not the prevailing Party. The prevailing Party in such proceeding shall also be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ and experts’ fees and expenses, including expert witness fees. The special referee shall include such costs in the judgment or award.
11
3.2.8 Governing Law. The internal laws of the State of California (without reference to the rules regarding conflict or choice of laws of the State of California) shall govern this Agreement.
3.2.9 Other Remedies. The provisions of this Article III shall not limit the right of any Party to exercise self-help remedies or to obtain provisional, ancillary or equitable remedies (including temporary restraining orders or preliminary or permanent injunctions) from a court of competent jurisdiction before, after, or during the pendency of any judicial reference proceeding. The exercise of such remedy shall not waive the right of any Party to resort to a judicial reference proceeding.
3.2.10 Joinder. The Parties expressly agree that any judicial reference proceeding hereunder may be joined or consolidated with any judicial reference proceeding involving any Person (i) necessary or appropriate to resolve the Claim or (ii) substantially involved in or affected by such Claim.

5.1.1 CPHP. CPHP shall not without TSC’s Approval in its sole and absolute discretion (i) voluntarily or by operation of applicable law Transfer any of its rights, interests and/or obligations under this Agreement, (ii) suffer or permit a change in the beneficial interests in HPS such that HPS is no longer a wholly owned direct and/or indirect subsidiary of CPHP, (iii) suffer or permit HPS to Transfer all or any portion of its interests in the HPS1 DDA or any other right, title or interest in or to the Excess Entitlements, (iv) suffer or permit a change in the beneficial interests in Block 6aS, 8aS and 9aS Developer such that Block 6aS, 8aS and 9aS Developer is no longer a wholly owned direct and/or indirect subsidiary of CPHP, (v) suffer or permit Block 6aS, 8aS and 9aS Developer to Transfer all or any portion of its interests in Block 6aS, 8aS and 9aS, (vi) suffer or permit a change in the Control of CPHP such that any Person other than Lennar Controls CPHP or (vii) suffer or permit Lennar to directly or indirectly own less than twenty five percent (25%) of the beneficial interests in CPHP. Notwithstanding the foregoing, CPHP may Transfer its rights, interests and obligations under this Agreement to an Affiliate of CPHP that is Controlled by Lennar and in which Lennar directly or indirectly owns not less than twenty five percent (25%) of the beneficial interests so long as such Affiliate directly or indirectly owns the beneficial interests in the HPS1 DDA and any other right, title or interest in or to the Excess Entitlements. For the avoidance of doubt, (x) nothing in this Section 5.1.1 shall restrict the direct or indirect Transfer of interests in CPHP that does not result in such a change in Control of CPHP or in Lennar directly or indirectly owning less than twenty five percent (25%) of the beneficial interests in CPHP and (y) a change in Control of CPHP shall not be deemed to occur so long as Lennar remains the manager or managing member of CPHP with typical manager or managing member duties, subject only to major decisions that require the approval of the other owner(s) of CPHP. At all times that Lennar Controls CPHP, at least one employee of Lennar (or its wholly owned direct or indirect subsidiaries) shall remain the sole point of contact and authorized representative on behalf of CPHP to address any and all matters under this Agreement, and under any and all documents executed or entered into in connection with this Agreement. Any permitted Transfer by CPHP must be evidenced by a written assignment and assumption of this Agreement that provides that the assignee shall be responsible for all of CPHP’s Transferred obligations under this Agreement from and after the Effective Date. Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Section 5.1.1, unless otherwise Approved by TSC in its sole and absolute discretion, in no event shall CPHP be relieved of any of its obligations under this Agreement as a result of any Transfer by or change of Control of CPHP. For the avoidance of doubt, a sale of a Residential Unit to a member of the home-buying public shall not be a deemed a Transfer by Block 6aS, 8aS and 9aS Developer. Any attempted Transfer made in violation of this Section 5.1.1 shall be null and void.
14
5.1.2 TSC. TSC shall not without CPHP’s Approval in its sole and absolute discretion voluntarily or by operation of law Transfer any of its rights, interests and/or obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that TSC may assign its rights, interests and/or obligations under this Agreement in whole or in part to its Affiliate, to CPDC or to any other Person that is (or whose Affiliate is) Developer under and as defined in the CP/HPS2 DDA without the requirement of any Approval of CPHP. Any permitted Transfer by TSC must be evidenced by a written assignment and assumption of this Agreement that provides that the assignee shall be responsible for all of TSC’s Transferred obligations under this Agreement from and after the Effective Date. Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Section 5.1.2, unless otherwise Approved by CPHP in its sole and absolute discretion, in no event shall TSC be relieved of any of its obligations under this Agreement as a result of any Transfer by or change of Control of TSC. Any attempted Transfer made in violation of this Section 5.1.2 shall be null and void. At all times that Five Point Operating Company, LLC Controls TSC, at least one (1) employee of Five Point Operating Company, LLC (or its wholly owned direct or indirect subsidiaries) shall remain the sole point of contact and authorized representative on behalf of TSC to address any and all matters under this Agreement, and under any and all documents executed or entered into in connection with this Agreement.
5.1.3 Notice. For any Transfer by a Party, or any change in Control of CPHP, in any case permitted hereunder, the applicable Party shall provide notice thereof to the other Party as soon as commercially practicable in advance of such Transfer or change and, in any event, no later than concurrently therewith. Any such notice pursuant to this Section 5.1.3 shall include, with respect to a Transfer, a copy of the assignment and assumption of this Agreement in accordance with the foregoing.
5.2 Relationship of Parties. By virtue of this Agreement, TSC and CPHP shall not be construed to be joint venturers or partners of each other, and neither shall have the power to bind or obligate the other Party, except as set forth in this Agreement.
5.3 Interpretation. Wherever in this Agreement the context requires, references to the masculine shall be deemed to include the feminine and the neuter and vice-versa, and references to the singular shall be deemed to include the plural and vice versa. Unless otherwise specified, whenever in this Agreement, including its Exhibits, reference is made to any Recital, Article, Section, Exhibit, Schedule or defined term, the reference shall be deemed to refer to the Recital, Article, Section, Exhibit, Schedule or defined term of this Agreement. Any reference in this Agreement to a Recital, an Article or a Section includes all subsections and subparagraphs of that Recital, Article or Section. Section and other headings and the names of defined terms in this Agreement are for the purpose of convenience of reference only and are not intended to, nor shall they, modify or be used to interpret the provisions of this Agreement. Any reference in this Agreement to any plans, budgets, proposals or similar matters means the then most recent version thereof that has been approved in accordance with its terms or the terms of the governing agreement, including where applicable, this Agreement. Except as otherwise explicitly provided herein, the use in this Agreement of the words “including”, “such as” or words of similar import when accompanying any general term, statement or matter shall not be construed to limit such term, statement or matter to such specific terms, statements or matters. In the event of a conflict between the Recitals and the remaining provisions of this Agreement, the remaining provisions shall prevail. Reference to an agreement (including this Agreement and all other contracts or agreements referenced herein) or any other document means that agreement or document as it may be amended, modified, supplemented or restated (including all extensions) from time to
15
time in accordance with its terms (including on or prior to the Effective Date). Any reference to a law (including Applicable Laws) shall include any amendment thereof or any successor thereto and any rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; and any reference to any particular Code or Regulation section will be interpreted to include any revision of or successor to that section regardless of how it is numbered or classified. References to a Person are also references to its predecessors, successors and permitted assigns. Words such as “herein,” “hereinafter,” “hereof,” “hereby” and “hereunder” and the words of like import refer to this Agreement, unless the context requires otherwise. The term “dollars” and the symbol “$” each means United States Dollars. Unless the context otherwise specifically provides, the term “or” shall not be exclusive and means “or, and, or both”.
5.4 Resolution of Contractual Uncertainties. Both TSC and CPHP, with the assistance of their respective counsel, have actively negotiated the terms and provisions of this Agreement. Therefore, TSC and CPHP waive the effect of California Civil Code Section 1654 which interprets uncertainties in a contract against the Party who drafted the contract.
5.5 Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains all of the representations and warranties and the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, and any prior correspondence, memoranda, agreements, confidentiality agreements, letters of intent, warranties or representations between the Parties relating to such subject matter are superseded in total by this Agreement. Prior drafts of this Agreement and changes from those drafts to the executed version of this Agreement shall not be introduced as evidence in any litigation or other dispute resolution proceeding by the Parties or any other Person, and no court or other body shall consider such documents in interpreting this Agreement.
5.6 Amendment; Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall not be amended or modified except in writing signed by CPHP and TSC. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement is intended to confer any rights or remedies upon any Person, other than the Parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns.
5.7 Successors and Assigns. All terms, conditions and agreements herein set forth shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon the Parties, and any and all of their respective permitted successors and assigns.
5.8 Approvals. All consents and approvals of a Party hereunder shall be effective only if given in writing by such Party. Consents and approvals by any Party to or of any act or request by any other Party shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary consents and approvals to or of any similar or subsequent acts or requests for which such Party’s consent or approval is required, except to the extent specifically set forth in such consent or approval.
5.9 Waivers. No Party shall be deemed to have waived any provision of this Agreement unless it does so in writing, and no “course of conduct” shall be considered to be such a waiver, absent such a writing. No waiver by a Party of a breach of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement shall be construed or held to be a waiver of any succeeding or preceding breach of the same or any other term, covenant or condition herein contained. No waiver of any default by a Party hereunder shall be implied from any omission by the other to take any action on account of such default if such default persists or is repeated, and no express waiver shall affect the default other than as specified in such waiver. Any waiver hereunder may be granted, withheld, delayed or conditioned in the sole and absolute discretion of the applicable Party.
16
5.10 Severability. In the event that any portion of this Agreement shall be decreed invalid by the judgment of a court, this Agreement shall be construed as if such portion had not been inserted herein except when such construction would operate as an undue unwaived material hardship upon CPHP or TSC or constitute a material unwaived deviation from the general intent and purpose of the Parties as reflected in this Agreement.
5.11 Time. Time is of the essence with respect to each provision of this Agreement in which time is a factor. References to time shall be to the local time in the City of San Francisco on the applicable day. References in this Agreement to days shall be to calendar days, unless otherwise specified, provided that if the last day of any period to give notice, reply to a notice, meet a deadline or to undertake any other action occurs on a day that is not a Business Day, then the last day for giving the notice, replying to the notice, meeting the deadline or undertake the action shall be the next succeeding Business Day, or if such requirement is to give notice before a certain date, then the last day shall be the preceding Business Day. Where a date for performance is referred to as a calendar month without reference to a specific day in such month, or a year without reference to a specific month in such year, then such date shall be deemed to be the last Business Day in such month or year, as applicable.
5.12 Further Acts. CPHP and TSC shall execute such other documents and perform such other acts as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate and/or helpful to carry out the purposes of this Agreement.
5.13 Authority. Each Party represents to the other Party that the individual executing this Agreement on behalf of such Party holds the office and/or position in the applicable Entity reflected on the signature block for such individual, and has full right and power and has been duly and legally authorized to act on behalf of such Entity in executing and entering into this Agreement on behalf of such Party.
5.14 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which, when so executed and delivered, shall be deemed an original, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective when the Parties have duly executed and delivered signature pages of this Agreement to each other. Delivery of this Agreement may be effectuated by hand delivery, mail, overnight courier or electronic communication (including by PDF sent by electronic mail, facsimile or similar means of electronic communication). Any signatures (including electronic signatures) delivered by electronic communication shall have the same legal effect as physically delivered original signatures.
5.15 Confidentiality. Each Party expressly acknowledges and agrees that the terms of this Agreement and the materials created by the Parties in connection herewith constitute confidential information, and, in any event, each Party hereby agrees not to disclose such terms and materials to any Person except: (a) to the extent required by applicable disclosure, securities, partnership or other laws or other governmental, court or quasi-governmental
17
disclosure requirements (including requirements of any stock exchange or self-regulating organization), as determined in the reasonable judgment of such Party following consultation with its legal counsel; (b) as such Party reasonably determines is reasonably required in order to perform its obligations under this Agreement, including in order to obtain any consents or approvals to the transactions contemplated hereby; (c) for disclosures that may be necessary to one or more professional advisers, owners, lenders, and/or employees of such Party; (d) for disclosures required in connection with the preparation and filing of any tax return or regulatory filing of such Party; or (e) with the approval of the other Party; except, with respect to clauses (b) or (c), unless such disclosure is expressly prohibited by the Party first disclosing the applicable materials.
5.16 Costs and Expenses. Except as set forth in Section 2.3 or as may be expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, each Party shall be responsible for its own costs and expenses in connection with the negotiation and performance of this Agreement.
5.17 Estoppel Certificates. A Party, within twenty (20) days after request from the other Party, shall execute and deliver to the requesting Party an estoppel certificate stating:
5.17.1 whether or not this Agreement is unmodified and in full force and effect; if there has been a modification of this Agreement, the certificate shall state that this Agreement is in full force and effect as modified, and shall set forth the modification; if this Agreement is not in full force and effect, the certificate shall so state; and
5.17.2 whether or not the responding Party is aware of any default (or event that, with notice or the passage of time or both, could be a default) by the other Party under this Agreement and, if so, describing the same in detail.
5.18 Notices. Whenever any notice or any other communication is required or permitted to be given under any provision of this Agreement (as, for example, where a Party is permitted or required to “notify” the other Party), such notice or other communication shall be in writing, signed by or on behalf of the Party giving the notice or other communication, and shall be deemed to have been given on the earliest to occur of (a) the date of the actual delivery, (b) if mailed, three (3) Business Days after the date mailed by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, with postage prepaid, (c) if sent with a reputable air or ground courier service, fees prepaid, the date on which such courier represents such notice will be available for delivery, or (d) if by facsimile, on the day of sending such facsimile if sent before 5:00 p.m. California time on a Business Day (and, otherwise, on the next Business Day), in each case to the respective address(es) of the Party to whom such notice is to be given as set forth below, or at such other address of which such Party shall have given notice to the other Party as provided in this Section 5.18. Any such notice or other communication sent by facsimile must also be confirmed within two (2) Business Days by delivering such notice or other communication by one of the other means of delivery set forth in this Section 5.18, unless the receiving Party actually responds to such notice or other communication (provided, that an automated read receipt or similar automated response shall not constitute response for purposes of the foregoing). Legal counsel for any Party may give notice on behalf of such Party. The Parties intend that the requirements of this Section 5.18 cannot be waived or varied by course of conduct. Any reference herein to the date of receipt, delivery, or giving, or effective date, as the case may be, of any notice or
18
communication shall refer to the date such communication is deemed to have been given under the terms of this Section 5.18. Rejection or other refusal to accept or the inability to deliver because of changed address of which no notice was given under this Section 5.18 shall be deemed to constitute receipt of notice or other communication sent.
