If the Project includes acquisition of real property, the District may disburse to Applicant the grant monies as follows, but not to exceed, in any event, the District grant amount set forth on Page 1 of this Agreement: a. When acquisition is by negotiated purchase, the District may disburse the amount of the District-approved purchase price together with District-approved costs of acquisition. The District-approved purchase price shall not exceed the value contained in a valid appraisal report, unless the District agrees, in advance, to the higher price. b. When acquisition is allowed pursuant to the Proposition through eminent domain proceedings, the District may disburse the amount of the total award, as provided for in the final order of condemnation, together with District-approved costs of acquisition. Applicant shall bear all costs and make all advances associated with obtaining an order of immediate possession in an eminent domain proceeding. c.

Applicant agrees to use any monies disbursed by the District under the terms of this Agreement solely for the Project herein described. 4. Applicant agrees that any gross income earned from non-recreational uses of a Project shall be used for recreation development, additional acquisition, operation or maintenance at the Project site, unless the District approves otherwise in writing. Applicant also agrees that any gross income that accrues to a grant-assisted development Project during and/or as part of the construction, from sources other than the intended recreational uses, also shall be used for further development of that particular Project. 5. Applicant agrees to submit for prior District review and approval any and all existing or proposed operating agreements, leases, concession agreements, management contracts or similar arrangements with non-governmental entities, and any existing or proposed amendments or modifications thereto, as they relate to the project or the project site for a period of twenty (20)years from the date of this Agreement. Applicant further agrees not to enter into any contract, agreement, lease or similar arrangement, or to agree to any amendment or modification to an existing contract, agreement, lease or similar arrangement, that, in the District's opinion, violates federal regulations restricting the use of funds from tax-exempt bonds. 6. Applicant agrees that, upon entering into any contract for the construction, maintenance, operation or similar activity related to the Project, Applicant will require said contractor to carry adequate insurance required by the District and naming the District as an additional insured. In addition, said insurance must require that Applicant and the District be given thirty (30) days advance written notice of any modification or cancellation of said insurance. Applicant agrees to submit proof of such insurance to the District for its prior approval. 7. Applicant and District will conform to the requirements of Government Code Section 6250, et seq. in making all documents relating to this Agreement, the grant obtained and all other related matters available for public review during regular business hours. In the case that the Project involves acquisition of property, however, both the District and Applicant may withhold from public review any and all documents exempted under Section 6254, subsection (h), prior to completion of said acquisition. In the event that the District is required to defend an action on a Public Records Act request for any of the contents of an Applicant's submission under the terms and conditions of the Agreement, Applicant agrees to defend and indemnify the District from all costs and expenses, including attorneys'fees, in any action or liability arising under the Public Records Act. Page 6 Project Agreement • 8. In order to maintain the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of the interest on any bonds, notes or other evidences of indebtedness issued for the purpose of providing the grant monies made available in this Agreement, Applicant covenants to comply with each applicable requirement of Section 103 and Sections 141 through 150, inclusive, of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. In furtherance of the foregoing covenant, Applicant hereby agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of the District, (a) permit the use of any portion of the Project by any private person or entity, other than on such terms as may apply to the public generally; or(b)enter into any contract for the management or operation of the Project or any portion thereof, except with a governmental agency or a nonprofit corporation that is exempt from federal income taxation pursuant to Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. 9. If Applicant sells or otherwise disposes of property acquired or developed with grant monies provided under this Agreement, Applicant shall reimburse the District in an amount equal to the greater of 1) the amount of grant monies provided under this Agreement; 2) the fair market value of the real property; or 3) the proceeds from the portion of the property acquired, developed, improved, rehabilitated or restored with grant monies. If the property sold or otherwise disposed of is less than the entire interest in the property originally acquired, developed, improved, rehabilitated or restored with the grant monies, then Applicant shall reimburse the District an amount equal to the greater of: 1) an amount equal to the proceeds; or 2) the fair market value. 10. With the written consent of the District, the Applicant may transfer property acquired, developed, improved, rehabilitated or restored with funds granted under this Agreement to another public agency; to a nonprofit organization authorized to acquire, develop, improve or restore real property for park, wildlife, recreation, open space, or gang prevention and intervention purposes; or to the National Park Service, provided that any proposed successor agrees to assume the obligations imposed under the Proposition and to accept assignment of this Agreement. Under these conditions, the Applicant shall not be required to reimburse the District as described in Section D, Paragraph 9 of this Agreement. E. Project Termination 1. Applicant may unilaterally rescind this Agreement at any time prior to the commencement of the Project. After Project commencement, this Agreement may be rescinded, modified or amended by mutual agreement in writing. 2. Failure by the Applicant to comply with the terms of this Agreement, or any other agreement established pursuant to the Proposition, may be cause for suspension of all obligations of the District hereunder. 3. Failure of the Applicant to comply with the terms of this Agreement shall not be cause for the suspension of all obligations of the District hereunder if, in the judgment of the District, such Page 7 Project Agreement V • failure was beyond the reasonable control of the Applicant. In such case, any amount required to settle, at minimum cost, any irrevocable obligations properly incurred shall be eligible for reimbursement under this Agreement. 4. The Applicant's full compliance with the terms of this Agreement will have significant benefits to the District, and to the property and quality of life therein, through the preservation and protection of beach, wildlife, park, recreation and natural lands of the District, provision of safer recreation areas for all residents, prevention of gangs, development and improvement of recreation facilities for senior citizens, the planting of trees, construction of trails, and/or restoration of rivers and streams. Because such benefits exceed, to an immeasurable and un-ascertainable extent, the amount of grant monies that the District furnishes under the provisions of this Agreement, the Applicant agrees that payment by the Applicant to the District of an amount equal to the amount of the grant monies disbursed under this Agreement by the District would be inadequate compensation to the District for any breach by the Applicant of this Agreement. The Applicant further agrees, therefore, that the appropriate remedy in the event of a breach by the Applicant of this Agreement shall be the specific performance of this Agreement, unless otherwise agreed to by the District. Nothing in this Section shall limit in any way the District's legal or equitable remedies under this Agreement. 5. Applicant and the District agree that, if the Project includes development, final payment may not be made until the Project conforms substantially with this Agreement and is a usable public facility. 6. Applicant and each County lobbyist or County lobbying firm, as defined in Los Angeles County Code Section 2.160.010, retained by Applicant, shall fully comply with the County Lobbyist Ordinance, Los Angeles County Code Chapter 2.160. Failure on the part of Applicant or any County lobbyist or County lobbying firm to fully comply with the County Lobbyist Ordinance shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement, upon which the District may terminate or suspend this Agreement. F. Payment of Funds 1. Applicant may request reimbursement from the District for eligible expenses, which the Applicant has properly incurred and paid, no more frequently than every thirty (30) days. Applicant shall submit reimbursement requests on District-provided Payment Request Forms, including the applicable attachments. All Payment Request Forms should be sent to: The Regional Park and Open Space District c/o The Department of Parks and Recreation 433 South Vermont Avenue, Fourth Floor Los Angeles, California 90020 2. Applicant should submit its payment request prior to the fifteenth day of the month to receive reimbursement within four to six weeks. The District may hold Payment Request Forms received after the fifteenth of the month until the next month, which may result in Page 8 Project Agreement • reimbursements being delayed. 3. The District may withhold a portion of the amount of reimbursement if, in the opinion of the District, an expenditure is not eligible under the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Proposition, the Application or the Procedural Guide. In such cases the District shall notify the Applicant of the amount of expenditures declared ineligible and the reason(s) for the ineligibility. Applicant, within thirty (30) days of notification, may dispute the District's decision, in writing, to the District and provide records and/or documentation to support its claim. The District shall review the information and/or documentation provided and will notify Applicant of its final determination. If Applicant fails to dispute the findings, in writing, within the thirty day period, then the Applicant shall have waived its right to dispute the findings. G. Hold Harmless and Indemnification 1. Applicant shall indemnify, defend and hold the District harmless from and against any and all liability to any third party for or from loss, damage or injury to persons or property in any manner arising out of, or incident to, the performance of this Agreement or the planning, arranging, implementing, sponsoring or conducting of the Project or any other operation, maintenance or activity by the Applicant. 2.

Applicant also agrees to retain such financial accounts, documents and records for five (5)years following Project termination or completion.

Applicant agrees to use an accounting system that complies with generally accepted accounting principles. 3. At any time during the term of this Agreement or at any time within five years after the expiration or prior termination of this Agreement, authorized representatives of the District may conduct an audit of Applicant for the purpose of verifying appropriateness and validity of expenditures that Applicant has submitted to the District for reimbursement under the terms of this Agreement. If said audit reveals expenditures that cannot be verified or that were paid in violation of the terms of this Agreement, the Proposition or the Procedural Guide, the District may, at its discretion, reduce the grant amount by an amount equal to these expenditures. Applicant, within thirty (30) days of notification that an audit has resulted in the exception of expenditures, may dispute the audit findings in writing to the District and provide the District with records and/or documentation to support the expenditure claims. The District shall review this documentation and make a final determination as to the validity of the expenditures. If Applicant has received all grant monies prior to the audit, or if remaining grant monies are insufficient, and if said audit reveals expenditures that cannot be verified or that were paid in violation of the terms of this Agreement, the Proposition or the Procedural Guide, Applicant shall pay the District an amount equal to these expenditures within sixty (60) days after receiving written notification of the expenditures disallowed and the reason for the disallowance. Notwithstanding Government Code Section 907, in the event that Applicant fails to repay the District in full for the amount of excepted expenditures, the District may offset an amount equal to the excepted expenditures from any monies that may be due to Applicant under the terms and conditions of the Proposition. Through the execution of this Agreement, Applicant waives its rights under Government Code Section 907. J. Use of Facilities 1. Applicant agrees to use the property acquired or developed with grant monies under this Agreement only for the purpose for which it requested District grant monies and will not permit any other use of the area, except as allowed by specific act of the Board of Supervisors as governing body of the District and under the terms and conditions of the Proposition. 2.
