Deed recorded in the Official Records of Los Angeles County as Instrument No. 06-

above described parcel of land and Lot "H" as shown on the map of Tract No. 50666
are intended to be the same. However, as of this date said map has not been filed for
record by the local governing agency. Therefore should revisions to the boundaries of

the above described description to coincide with the boundaries of [future] Lot "H"
shown on the recorded map of said Tract No. 50666;" and,
WHEREAS, the Developer has proposed to make minor adjustments to the
boundaries of future Lot "H" to reflect the existing improvements located along the
easterly boundary line of Lot "H" in connection with the impending recordation of the
final map for Tract No. 50666; and,
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City has determined that it is in the best
interest of the City to accomplish the amendment of the legal description for Lot H by
the City's interim transfer of its interest in such property back to the Developer, pursuant
to the Quitclaim Deed attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Quitclaim Deed"), to be
recorded immediately prior to recordation of a new grant deed with the modified legal
description signed by the Developer and accepted by the City pursuant to the Grant
Deed attached hereto as Exhibit B; and,
WHEREAS, pursuant to Resolution 2018-57, the City Council of the City has
approved the acquisition of additional portions of the Property for the purposes of parks,
public access, recreational use, habitat enhancement, trail, public parking, and street
purposes ("Dedicated Property") pursuant to a Certificate of Acceptance for such

Land Holdings Company, Palos Verdes Land Holdings Company, Inc., and Zuckerman

by granting the Developer easement rights to certain portions of the Dedicated Property
for the purposes of maintaining, operating, accessing, and using of the golf tees and
portions of the golf course currently located on a portion of the Property; and,
