Adopt a resolution approving Acquisition Agreement, Mutual Release and
Joint Escrow Instructions with Vinci Investment Co., Inc.
DISCUSSION
First established in 1984, the Santa Ana Auto Mall has been an important
element of the City's economic base and source of revitalization in the
South Main Redevelopment Project Area. Beginning in 2002, two of the
larger dealers in the mall, Crevier BMW and Honda Santa Ana approached
the Agency about potential redevelopment and expansion of their
dealerships onto property along adjacent Edinger Avenue. The Crevier BMW
project was approved by the Agency Board and City Council in 2004, and
the first phase is currently under construction.
In the case of Honda Santa Ana, Vinci Investment Co., the owner of the
Honda Santa Ana dealership, notified the Agency in late 2003 that they
had an agreement to acquire the leasehold interest in the adjacent
property occupied by Mr. J's Nightclub from the Joher family. They
sought an Agency agreement to assist with the purchase of the property
(if successfully acquired) and expansion of the Honda Santa Ana
dealership.
On March 15, 2004, the Agency Board approved
license agreement with Vinci calling for
properties, assets, etc. to the Agency for
Vinci's acquisition from the Johers. These

Agency would proceed with the potential acquisition of the underlying fee
interest in the property. The entire property would then be conveyed
back to Vinci in exchange for Vinci's agreement to expand and redevelop
the Honda Santa Ana dealership.
However, the Johers breached their agreement with Vinci, triggering over
a year of litigation. As a result, no negotiations were ever undertaken
and no DDA has yet been approved by the parties. At one point Vinci was
awarded $15 Million in damages for the breach, resulting in the Johers
seeking bankruptcy protection. When it appeared that Vinci would be
unable to consummate their agreement with the Joher family, the Agency
chose to terminate the March 2004 acquisition agreement. Vinci disputed
the legality of the Agency's action.
Vinci has concluded its litigation with the Johers and has successfully
acquired the Mr. J's property. The Agency and Vinci desire to resolve
their differences and, in doing so, carry out the intent of the Purchase
Agreement and the Term Sheet. Part of the Vinci -Joher settlement included
a significant discount of the original purchase price in exchange for
waiver by Vinci of that $15 Million judgment.
Under the proposed Acquisition Agreement, the Agency will purchase the
Mr. J's assets including the lease, buildings & business goodwill for
originally agreed $4,247,897 (This amount will result in Vinci receiving
approximately $2.1 Million of the $15 Million judgment) and then license
the property back to Vinci for two years. During that time, Vinci is
required to demolish all of the Mr. J improvements (including free-
standing signs)and to integrate the premises into the Honda Dealership
and make substantial improvements to bring it into full compliance with
the Santa Ana Auto Mall specific development standards. To assist in
that, the Agency will contribute $367,000 to Vinci to partially offset
those costs, plus pay to Vinci $385,103 as an advance against the rental
subsidy proposed in the Term Sheet. Finally, the Agency will pay Vinci
$1,025,000 as a full and complete settlement and compromise of Vinci's
claim for extraordinary expenses incurred in the Joher litigation and for
all other disputes and potential claims against the Agency by Vinci.
The Agreement calls for demolition of the former Mr. J's improvements to
begin within 30 days of close of escrow. The first step in demolition
will be removal of the +40 foot pole sign. Demolition is anticipated to
be complete in as little as a week. At the end of the two years, if all
of the improvements are made, the Agency will re- assign the lease back to
Vinci. In the meantime, Vinci and the Agency will sign a new Term Sheet
to guide negotiations on a DDA.

The Santa Ana Auto Mall generates $3.9 Million (FY 04 /05)in sales taxes
to the General Fund. As the two top sales tax generators, as well as the
"front door" to the Auto Mall, expansion and redevelopment of Crevier BMW
and Honda Santa Ana will anchor the Auto Mall as a solid long term
financial and community resource. Additionally, combined with the
imminent reconstruction and upgrading of Edinger Avenue and continued
growth at PacifiCenter, these new and redeveloped BMW and Honda
dealerships will be major contributors to revitalizing the Edinger
corridor.
FISCAL IMPACT
Total payments by the Agency will be $6,025,000. Funds are available in
the South Main Tax Allocation Bond Capital Project account (account no.
552 - 936- 6611).

(the "Third Party") within three (3) months after the Close of Escrow. In the event the parties
are unable to mutually agree upon the Third Party within thirty (30) days after the Close of
Escrow, either party may request that the American Arbitration Association ( "AAA ") appoint the
Third Parry in accordance with the criteria set forth above, and the selection of the Third Party by

Fair Reuse Value (as hereinafter defined) so that it can be applied toward the purchase price of
the Erickson Property.

obligations of the Agency Parties (as hereinafter defined) hereunder, Vinci, on behalf of itself,
and on behalf of its respective successors, assigns, attorneys, accountants, officers, directors,
shareholders, employees, agents, and servants, past, present and future, hereby releases,
discharges, and acquits the Agency and the City of Santa Ana (the "City ") and their respective
successors, assigns, attorneys, accountants, officers, directors, shareholders, employees, agents,
and servants, past, present and future (the "Agency Parties "), of and from any and all past,
present and future causes of action, rights, claims, or liabilities of any kind or nature whatsoever
arising out of or connected with the matters described in this Agreement (including, without
limitation, claims arising out of the Term Sheet, the Agency /Vinci Purchase Agreement, the
termination of the Agency /Vinci Purchase Agreement and the Erickson Property) which Vinci
owns, holds or possesses as of the Close of Escrow, or may, following the Close of Escrow,
claim to own, hold or possess against the Agency Parties.
B. Release of Claims by the Agency. Upon the Close of Escrow, other than the

officers, directors, shareholders, employees, agents, and servants, past, present and future, hereby
releases, discharges, and acquits Vinci and its respective heirs, successors, assigns, attorneys,
accountants, officers, directors, shareholders, employees, agents, and servants, past, present and
future (the "Vinci Parties "), of and from any and all past, present and future causes of action,

matters described in this Agreement (including, without limitation, claims arising out of the
Term Sheet, the Agency /Vinci Purchase Agreement and the Erickson Property ) which the
-9-
600090435v6
8 -123
Agency owns, holds or possesses as of the Close of Escrow, or may, following the Close of
Escrow, claim to own, hold or posses against the Vinci Parties.
C. 1542 Release. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the releases and
discharges set in Paragraph 6 above are general releases of all claims. The parties hereto
expressly waive, and assume the risk of, any and all claims for damages which exist as of the
Close of Escrow, but which they do not know or suspect to exist, whether through ignorance,
oversight, error, negligence, or otherwise, and which, if known, would materially affect their
decision to enter into this Agreement. The parties hereto understand, and their attorneys have
explained, the importance, meaning and legal effect of Section 1542 of the Civil Code. The
parties hereto hereby agree that all rights under Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of
California are hereby waived. Civil Code Section 1542 provides as follows:
"A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not
know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release,
which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the
debtor."
7. License. For a period of twenty -four (24) months from the Close of Escrow (the
"License Term "), the Agency hereby agrees to provide Vinci with a license (the "License ") to
use the Leased Premises and the CRA Property (collectively, the "License Area ") for the sole
purpose of storage and sale of Honda automobiles and trucks consistent with SD 60 zoning
requirements. Vinci shall use and operate the License Area during the License Term in
compliance with all Governmental Requirements. Vinci hereby agrees to maintain for the
License Area during the License Term comprehensive general liability insurance (including
contractual liability and the broad or extended liability endorsement, insuring against claims for
death, bodily injury, personal injury and property damage occurring upon, in or about the Leased
Premises) with policy limits of at least $2,000,000.00 per occurrence from an insurance company
licensed to do business in the State of California with an A.M. Best Company rating not lower
than A -VII, naming the Agency as an additional named insured, and State Workers'
Compensation Insurance for the statutorily mandated limits and Employers Liability Insurance
with limits of not less than Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000). Vinci shall furnish to
the Agency, prior to the Close of Escrow, policies or certificates evidencing such coverage
( "Insurance Certificates "), which policies or certificates shall state that such insurance coverage
may not be reduced, cancelled, modified or not renewed without at least thirty (30) days' prior
written notice to the Agency. Vinci shall be responsible for all costs of operating and
maintaining the License Area during the License Term, including the cost of all insurance,
utilities, maintenance (including landscaping) and repairs not otherwise paid by Erickson under
the Erickson Lease. In the event Vinci fails to comply with any of its obligations under the
License or under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 8, below) within ten (10)
days after written notice from the Agency to Vinci, the Agency may terminate the License.
8. Vinci Improvements. Vinci agrees that it will, at its sole cost and expense, (1) in the first
six (6) months following the Close of Escrow, conduct all necessary environmental
investigations and testing of the Erickson Property, remove all FF &E, demolish all structures and
Improvements on the Erickson Property, including freestanding signs and walls, clear the
Erickson Property, and (2) within the next eighteen (18) months, construct all necessary
-10-
600090435v6
8 -124
improvements to the Erickson Property and the CRA Property and make all other changes
necessary to bring it into full compliance with the applicable zoning, land use, improvement,
signage and landscaping standards found in SD -60 (Ordinance No. NS- 2650), the landscape and
signage concept plans and the Auto Center CC &R's (collectively, the "Vinci Improvements ").
A copy of Ordinance No. NS -2650, the landscape and signage concept plans and the Auto Center
CC &Rs are attached hereto as Exhibits "D," "E" and "F," respectively. Vinci acknowledges that
development of the Leased Premises and the CRA Property shall be in compliance specifically
with Ordinance No. NS -2650 and that it shall carry out the design, demolition, landscaping,
construction, and operation of the Leased Premises and the CRA Property in substantial
conformity with all applicable laws, ordinances, statutes, codes, rules, regulations, orders, and
decrees of the United States, the State of California, the County of Orange, the City, or any other
political subdivision in which the Erickson Property is located, and of any other political
subdivision, agency, or instrumentality exercising jurisdiction over the City, the Agency, Vinci
or the Erickson Property, including all applicable federal, state, and local occupation, safety and
health laws, rules, regulations and standards, applicable state and labor standards, applicable
prevailing wage requirements, the City zoning and development standards, City permits and
approvals, building, plumbing, mechanical and electrical codes, as they apply to the Erickson
Property, and all other provisions of the City and its Municipal Code (as they apply to the
Erickson Property), and all applicable disabled and handicapped access requirements, including,
without the limitation, the Americans With Disability Act, 42 U.S.C. § 12101 et seq.,
Government Code § 4450 et seq., and the Unruh Civil Rights Act, Civil Code § 51 et seq.
( "Governmental Requirements "). Vinci's failure to perform the Vinci Improvements within the
above - described times to the reasonable satisfaction of the Agency shall constitute a default
under the License, and, if such default is not cured to the reasonable satisfaction of the Agency
within thirty (30) days after written notice from the Agency to Vinci shall (i) immediately result
in the termination of the License, in which event Vinci shall immediately remove, at its sole cost
and expense, the FF &E, all vehicles and personal property from the Leased Premises (but not the
Vinci Improvements, which shall become the property of the Agency), and return the Leased
Premises to the Agency in a broom clean condition, and (ii) Vinci shall, within five (5) days of
written demand by the Agency, return to the Agency the amount of the Improvement Payments
and the amount of the Erickson Lease Subsidy paid by the Agency to Vinci in immediately
available funds. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Agreement shall
constitute a waiver by the Agency or the City of any Governmental Requirements nor an
agreement to delay enforcement of any Governmental Requirements.
9. Re- Assignment of Erickson Lease. At the end of the License Period, provided that the
Vinci Improvements described in paragraph 8 are completed to the reasonable satisfaction of the
Agency, and Vinci is not in violation of any of its obligations hereunder to the Agency or in
violation of any Governmental Requirements with respect to the Erickson Property, the Agency
will assign the Erickson Lease to Vinci without warranty or representation and in its then
"AS -IS" condition, subject to the applicable zoning and land use standards found in SD -60
(Ordinance No. NS- 2650), the landscape and signage concept plans and the Auto Center
CC &R's being met and subject to the consent of Erickson.
10. DDA Letter of Intent. If Vinci remains interested in acquiring Erickson's fee interest in
the Erickson Property, the Agency is willing to enter into a non - binding preliminary letter of
intent outlining the elements of a potential DDA to be negotiated as follows:
-11-
600090435v6
8 -125
• Vinci shall develop specific expansion/redevelopment plans and a development
schedule for the Honda Dealership facility acceptable to the Agency in its sole
and absolute discretion;
• The parties will voluntarily attempt to acquire the fee interest in the Erickson
Property, and, if unsuccessful, will consider acquiring the Erickson Property by
eminent domain by the Agency. The Agency and Vinci shall share all costs of the
Erickson Property fee acquisition as follows:
o The Agency shall pay the cost of the appraisers, consultants and outside
counsel (if necessary), plus all purchase price /compensation in excess of
the Developer Contribution (defined below).
o Vinci shall pay the Developer Contribution, defined as the amount
determined in accordance with the Community Redevelopment Law to
represent the fair reuse value of the Erickson Property (the "Fair Reuse
Value ") plus the amount of the Erickson Lease Subsidy.
o Each party shall reserve the absolute right not to proceed with the
purchase of the Erickson Property if it finds, in its sole and absolute
discretion, that its share of the contribution to the cost of fee acquisition is
more than it is willing to pay.
The parties will acknowledge that the non - binding letter of intent constitutes only
a mutual statement of interest to be used solely for discussion purposes. It shall
not impose any contractual obligations whatsoever unless and until a DDA is
executed, if ever, and is not to be construed in conjunction with this Agreement.
Each party will agree that its approval or acknowledgement of the non - binding
letter of intent shall not impose upon the other any duty whatsoever to continue
negotiations in good faith or otherwise, and that each party shall continue to have
the absolute right to propose different terms or to unilaterally terminate
negotiations altogether. Neither party shall have any expectation that a DDA
shall be executed.
11. Escrow Instructions.
A. Opening of Escrow. As soon as reasonably practicable following the mutual
execution of this Agreement, the parties shall open an escrow (the "Escrow ") at First American
Title Company located at 2 First American Way, Santa Ana, California 92707, attention: Mr.
Robert Benavente (the "Escrow Holder "), in order to consummate the transactions described in
this Agreement in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof. This Agreement shall be

ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN STANDARDS
All buildings within the Santa Ana Auto Mall shall be designed in a 'high -tech'
Industrial design. The Santa Ana Auto Mall's Architectural Design Standards shall
be used to determine the structures compliance with the 'high-tech' Industrial motif.
The use of exposed wood, tile roofs and mansards, and literal traditional
architectural motifs shall not be permitted, In addition, the Auto Mall Dealers
Association shall review and approve the architectural design for all new buildings
and remodels:
A. Service buildings, accessory structures and parking structures shall be
designed to incorporate, on at least a portion of the exterior building, the
same materials and colors as those used for the showroom.
B. The public areas and service buildings must be compatible in style
and material selection.
1. Horizontality:
The expression of horizontality in each building is of prime importance for the
unification of the Mall. To achieve this purpose, the.use of continuous horizontal
elements shall be required.
a. Twelve -inch high horizontal metal reveals (one and one -half
Inches minimum depth) is encouraged to be used for banding
and cladding terminations.
b. Continuous, light- emitting strip windows are encouraged to be
incorporated into the non - showroom, general office service
area. Vertically mullion less windows would enhance and
promote the high -tech imagery and are, therefore,
recommended.
c. All Gadding shall not emphasize the vertical except at
termination points (changes in direction or corners).
2. Exposed Sub - Elements:
Well - detailed exposed structural steel and H,V.A.C, elements shall be used. This
includes the extensive use of painted trusses, spaceframes, metal deck ceilings,
track lighting and well- detailed ducting /registers.
Ordinance No. NS•2650
Page 20 of 24
Exhibit "B"
Page 15 of 19
8 -162
3. Glass:
Extensive use of tinted glass in showroom, office and light- requiring service
building areas should be used. Compatible opaque (spandrel), insulated glass is
suggested for areas requiring non - vision glazing for continuity of effect.
The glass to be used shall have a bluish tint and slight reflectivity in non - direct
auto viewing area. Vision glazing specifications are to be equivalent to P.P.G.
'Solarban 570 -30 Sapphire Blue' series. No mirror -glass or highly reflective glass
maybe used. .
4. Wall Cladding — Flat Metal Panels:
Smooth aluminum panels may be used in flat or curved cladding for the opaque
showroom and office exterior wall cladding. This also applies to service building
cladding termination (ends, fascias, soffits and corners). Quality and trueness of
material (e.g., no oil- canning permitted) and workmanship are of the utmost
importance.
Panels shall be solid aluminum, and shall be impervious to water, and non-
flammable. The panel edges shall be brake - formed at right angles to the frontal
plane and all corners are to be welded and ground smooth, It shall provide a
front access fastening system which means individual panels may be removed at
any time. The thermally dynamic fastening system shall insure maximum
weather integrity, The system shall also include an internal drainage system
which directs condensation to the outside of the building. The finish shall be an
anodized or Kynar Tri -X metallic finish,

penetration.
Exhibit "B"
Page 16 of 19
Ordinance No. NS -2950
Page 21 or 24
8 -163
d, The anchorage system shall be designed so that the panels are secure, yet
"free floating ", to accommodate expansion and contraction; and so that
Individual panels may be installed or removed without disturbing adjacent
panels. Panel specifications are to be equivalent to 'Techwall' by Conspec
Systems.
B. Wall Cladding— Horizontal - Shaped Profile Me I Panels:
Horizontal deep rib metal siding decking may be used for the major service
buildings exterior and may be used for public oriented building exterior cladding.
The siding must be of the highest quality, and seamless (no apparent
intermediate joints). If such siding is used for the service building, other building
materials must be incorporated into the design of the structure in accordance
with Section B.1 of these Standards.
The specifications for'Steelite High Rib Panels' were used as a basis for the
following guidelines. The primary metals shall be galvanized steel which is a
quality, grade 'A' steel which meets the ASTM A446 specifications. A corrosion
resistant finish is achieved by a continuous hot -dip commercial galvanizing
process in accordance with ASTM A526 090 (1.25 oz [275 g /mg). This material
shall be the substrate for all panels. An alternative metal is galvalume which is
a steel sheet coated with all aluminum -zinc alloy applied by the continuous hot -
dip method.: Galvalume provides good resistance to heat and corrosion.
The color coating for the panel shall be silicone polyester, which is a blend of
premium polyester resins and silicone. 'SP' provides a high resistance to ultra-
violet rays as a durable coating over G -90 (1.25 oz [275 g /ml) galvanized steel.
'SP' shall meet the requirements of a long -term exterior finish with excellent
weather - ability. 'SP' finish shall provide an optimum use of silicone together
with a premium quality polyester resin for long life. Alternately, the panel shall
be color coated In fluorofinish which is a premium fluorocarbon called
polyvinyledine fluoride, (KYNAR 500 70 %). It is applied to G -90 (1.25 oz 1275
g /mg) galvanized steel. Exterior performance characteristics should include
color integrity, film flexibility and resistance to chalking, Other important
properties of finish shall be high resistance to ultra - violet radiation, and
resistance to weathering.
The panel profile that is encouraged to be used Is deep profile rib 18 -gauge
minimum run horizontally. Maximum permissible deflection is 10 be 1/120. Hat
shaped and "Z "- shaped subgirts should be placed at every structural support
and not more than 4'-0" (1.22 mm) on center between supports. Trueness of
material and quality of workmanship, with proper detailing of material
termination, shall be of the utmost importance.
Ordinance No. NS -2650,

Exhibit "B"
Page 17 of 19
8 -164
7. Plaster:
Smooth plaster (stucco) may be used but is not highly recommended because
of uncertainty. In surface quality control. If plaster is used, the highest degree of
detailing, materials and workmanship will have to be observed. Here again,
metal horizontal banding must be incorporated.
8. Concrete Panels:
Tilt -up /pre- formed concrete panels may be used in perimeter wall and building
wall applications.
The form liner profile specifications and configuration that may be used must be
equal to those produced by Symons Corporation's Architectural Form Liners.
The five options are to be equal to:
a. 3/18" deep, short ripple rib 4' -10" (no reveal)
b. '/:' deep rib, 4' x 10' (reveal)
c. Extruded VA" rib, 2" O.C., 1' x up- to -30' (no reveal), run horizontally
J d. Sandblast #2 medium, 4'x 10'
e. Sandblast *3 coarse, 4'x 10'
Continuous and horizontal metal reveals must be incorporated to tie complex
together and to be used a construction joints.
9. Concrete Block:
Concrete block masonry may be used for wall construction in the dealership
service areas. It is important to remember that the clean, smooth, horizontal,
industrialized character must be achieved. Contrasting the concrete block with
deep tool- raked, horizontal joints, horizontal 'Spectra Glaze' or metal,
contrasting bands or reveals and structures, and glass is highly encouraged.
A very suitable alternative is the use of prefaced concrete masonry units with
specifications similar to 'Spectra Glaze II', by Bums and Russell Company.
These ceramic -faced masonry units are low cost, attractive, avoid the need for
finishing wall 'surfaces where required, and reduce operational/life cycle costs.
This glazed block may also be used in areas subject to public view.
Exhibit "B"
Page 18 of 19
Ordinance No, NS -2650
Page 23 of 24
8 -165
10. Rooftop Elements:
All elements on roofs must be attractive and rhythmically placed and/or
attractively screened from view, These elements will be very visible because of
the freeway adjacency. Corrugated metal screening is not permitted.
11. Color:
The colors selected for the exterior of the building must serve to integrate all
elements of the dealership and enhance the aforementioned character goals.
The use of strong, deep colors, which may highlight rhythmic elements, is
encouraged. The colors found in each of the automakers' logo standards are a
desirable direction to be taken. Black and white colors may be used; earth
tones shall not be used for the buildings' walls and structural elements. This is
especially important if block masonry units are used. Color selections should
accentuate distinction and elegance,

ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN STANDARDS
The following standards are to be used as guidelines for the execution of all
dealerships in the above - mentioned mall, These are design standards intended
primarily for architectural control, therefore, the Municipal Code and the
City's "Design and Development Standards" must still be followed. The Archi-
tectural Design Review Board will give preliminary, intermediate and final
approval of all dealership designs based upon adherence to these standards.
It is not the intent of these standards to have as a final product dealerships
which are exactly the same. However, it is intended that there be uniformity
in direction, restricted selection and treatment of elements and finishes,
and repetition of certain common elements which will tie the entire complex
into a homogeneous entity.
A. DIMENSIONAL RESTRICTIONS
1. Setbacks:
The glazed surface of all showrooms must be a maximum of 100 feet from
the property line on the public road frontage. The minimum dimension
shall not be less than 40 feet. The minimum dimension between the
aforementioned property line and the edge of any service building must
not be less than 85 feet. Side and rear yard minimums are not set by
this document. Local codes must be followed,
ARCHITECTURE I ENGINEERING I PLANNING
3452 EAST FOOTHILL BOULEVARD SUITE 1100 • PASADENA, CALIFORNIA 91107 • (213) 681 -84eg (818) 21a1
2. Heights
The heights of the glazed portion of all showrooms shall be maximized.
The distance from exteriors' finished grade to the top of the showroom
parapet or top element shall be a minimum of sixteen feet and a maximum
of thirty feet. The height of all service buildings shall not exceed
twenty -four feet. Vertical circulation elements (stairs and elevators)
and skylight elements are encouraged to exceed the above maximums if
compatible, quality cladding is utilized in attractive shapes. Office
space may exceed the height of the showroom, but may not exceed thirty
feet from grade.
3. Protective Screening:
Each service area and bulk car storage area for each lot shall be
screened from public view along streets, the freeway, and each plaza with -
in.the Auto Mall. The screening shall consist of a minimum six -foot high
and maximum eight -foot high masonry wall and landscaping per landscape
architect's recommendations. Interior public road facing property line
setback is eighty -five feet. The service area shall be screened from
and/or oriented away from public view (including freeway) in compliance
with the above- mentioned guidelines.
0. ARCHITECTURAL STYLE
The direction which has been selected for the Mall's architectural style is
that of well detailed industrialized design. The generalized term usually
connected to this direction is that of "high- tech." In order to narrow
down the definition of this loose term, we have listed the following charac-
teristics which may be incorporated into the dealership designs. The
- 2 -
8 -213
materials listed may be used in combination with one another or as primary
area use. Keep in mind the restrictions placed on each section and the
overall "high- tech" motif which must be followed. Exposed wood construc-
tion, the roofs and mansards, and literal traditional architectural motifs
shall not be used.
1. Site Geometry:
All showrooms, where possible, should be symmetrically oriented towards
the central public road round- abouts adjacent to their sites. The build-
ings are encouraged to be simple, sculptured geometric shapes (triangles,
circles and rectangles), with the flush sleekness of streamline automo-
tive design. The use of curving or rolling glass surfaces and opaque
panels on the public- oriented facades is encouraged within the rigid
geometric framework. The public areas and service buildings must be
compatible in style and material selection. The service buildings shall
be designed to incorporate, on at least a portion of the exterior building,
the same materials and colors as those used for the showroom.
2. Horizontality:
The expression of horizontality in each building is of prime importance
for the unification of the Mall. To achieve this purpose, the use of
continuous horizontal elements shall be required.
a. Twelve -inch high horizontal metal reveals (one and one -half inches
minimum depth) is encouraged to be used for banding and cladding
terminations.
- 3 -
8 -214
b. Continuous, light - emitting strip windows are encouraged to be in-
corporated into the non - showroom, general office service area.
Vertically mullionless windows would enhance and promote the high -
tech imagery and are, therefore, recommended.
c. All cladding shall not emphasize the vertical except at termination
points (changes in direction or corners).
3. Exposed Sub - Elements:
Well detailed exposed structural steel and H.V.A.C. elements shall be
used. This includes the extensive use of painted trusses, spaceframes,
metal deck ceilings, track lighting and well detailed ducting /registers.
4. Glass:
Extensive use of tinted glass in showroom, office and light - requiring
service building areas should be used. Compatible opaque (spandrel),
insulated glass is suggested for areas requiring non - vision glazing for
continuity of effect. The glass to be used shall have a bluish tint and
slight reflectivity in non - direct auto viewing area. Vision glazing
specifications are to be equivalent to P.P.G. 'Solarban 570 -30 Sapphire
Blue' series. No mirror -glass or highly reflective glass may be used.
5. Wall Cladding - Flat Metal Panels:
Smooth aluminum panels may be used in flat or curved cladding for the
opaque showroom and office exterior wall cladding. This also applies
to service building cladding termination (ends, facias, soffits and
corners). Quality and trueness of material (e.g., no oil- canning
- 4 -
8 -215
permitted) and workmanship are of the utmost importance.
Panels shall be solid aluminum, and shall be impervious to water, and
non - flammable. The panel edges shall be brake - formed at right angles
to the frontal plane and all corners are to be welded and ground smooth.
It shall provide a front access fastening system which means individual
panels may be removed at any time. The thermally dynamic fastening
system shall insure maximum weather integrity. The system shall also
Include an internal drainage system which directs condensation to the
outside of the building. The finish shall be an anodized or Kynar Tri -X
metallic finish.
Materials:
a. Panels shall be fabricated from minimum .120 (3.04 mm) thick
aluminum solid plate of 3003 -H134 or 5005 -H32 AQ alloy, in accordance
with architectural documents and manufacturer's approved drawings
including verified dimensions.
b. Extruded aluminum support members shall be a minimum .093" (2.36 mm)
thick 6063 -T52 alloys; supplied pre -cut to size, including all
necessary stainless steel fasteners for concealed installation.
c. The metal cladding system including required stiffeners and seal-
ants shall meet the specified requirements for wind loading, air
infiltration and water penetration.
- 5 -
8 -216
d. The anchorage system shall be designed so that the panels are
secure, yet "free floating," to accommodate expansion and contrac-
tion; and so that individual panels may be installed or removed
without disturbing adjacent panels.
Panel specifications are to be equivalent to 'Techwall' by Conspec Systems.
6. Wall Cladding - Horizontal - Shaped Profile Metal Panels:
Horizontal deep rib metal siding decking may be used for the major
service buildings exterior and may be used for public oriented building
exterior cladding. The siding must be of the highest quality, and seam-
less (no apparent intermediate joints). If such siding is used for the
service building, other building materials must be incorporated into the
design of the structure in accordance with Section 8.1 of these Standards.
The specifications for 'Steelite High Rib Panels' were used as a basis
for the following guidelines. The primary metals shall be galvanized
steel which is a quality, grade 'A' steel which meets the ASTM A446
specifications. A corrosion resistant finish is achieved by a continu-
ous hot -dip commercial galvanizing process in accordance with ASTM A526
G90 (1.25 oz [275 g /m2]). This material shall be the substrate for all
panels. An alternative metal is galvalume which is a steel sheet
coated with all aluminum -zinc alloy applied by the continuous hot -dip
method. Galvalume provides good resistance to heat and corrosion.
The color coating for the panel shall be silicone polyester which is a
- 6 -
8 -217
blend of premium polyester resins and silicone. 'SP' provides a
high resistance to ultra - violet rays as a durable coating over
G -90 (1.25 oz [275 g /m2]) galvanized steel. 'SP' shall meet the re-
quirements of a long -term exterior finish with.excellent weather-
ability. 'SP' finish shall provide an optimum use of silicone to-
gether with a premium quality polyester resin for long life. Alter-
nately, the panel shall be color coated in fluorofinish which is a
premium fluorocarbon called polyvinyledine fluoride, (KYNAR 500 70 %).
It is applied to G -90 (1.25 oz [275 g/m2]) galvanized steel. Exterior
performance characteristics should include color integrity, film flexi-
bility and resistance to chalking. Other important properties of finish
shall be high resistance to ultra - violet radiation, and resistance to
weathering.
The panel profile that is encouraged to be used is deep profile rib
18 gauge minimum run horizontally. Maximum permissible deflection is
to be 1/120. Hat shaped and "Z "- shaped subgirts should be placed at
every structural support and not more than C-011 (1.22 mm) on center
between supports. Trueness of material and quality of workmanship,
with proper detailing of material termination, shall be of the utmost
importance.
7. Plaster:
Smooth plaster (stucco) may be used but is not highly recommended
because of uncertainty in surface quality control. If plaster is used,
- 7 -
8 -218
the highest degree of detailing, materials and workmanship will have
to be observed. Here again, metal horizontal banding must be incor-
porated.
8. Concrete Panels:
Tilt -up /pre - formed concrete panels may be used in perimeter wall and
building wall applications.
The form liner profile specifications and configuration that may be
used must be equal to those produced by Symons Corporation's Architec-
tural Form Liners. The five options are to be equal to:
a. 3/16" deep, short ripple rib 4' -10" (no reveal)
b. 1/4" deep rib, 4' x 10' (reveal)
c.. Extruded 1V rib, 2" O.C., 1' x up- to -30' (no reveal), run
horizontally
d. Sandblast 12 medium, 4' x 10'
e. Sandblast #3 coarse, 4' x 10'
Here again, continuous and horizontal metal reveals must be incorpor-
ated to tie complex together and to be used at construction joints.
9. Concrete Block:
Concrete block masonry may be used for wall construction in the
dealership service areas. It is important to remember that the clean,
- 8 -
8 -219
smooth, horizontal, industrialized character must be achieved.
Contrasting the concrete block with deep tool- raked, horizontal
joints, horizontal 'Spectra Glaze' or metal, contrasting bands or
reveals and structures, and glass is highly encouraged.
A very suitable alternative is the use of prefaced concrete masonry
units with specifications similar to 'Spectra Glaze II', by Burns &
Russell Company. These ceramic faced masonry units are low cost,
attractive, avoid the need for finishing wall surfaces where required,
and reduce operational /life cycle costs. This glazed block may also
be used in areas subject to public view.
10. Rooftop Elements:
All elements on roofs must be attractive and rythmically placed and /or
attractively screened from view. These elements will be very visible
because of the freeway adjacency
permitted.
11. Color:
Corrugated metal screening is not
The colors selected for the exterior of the buildings must serve to
integrate all elements of the dealership and enhance the aforementioned
character goals. The use of strong, deep colors which may highlight
rythmic elements is encouraged. The colors found in each of the auto -
makers' logo standards is a desirable direction to be taken. Black and
white colors may be used; earth tones shall not be used for the buildings,
�t
1
walls and structural elements. This is especially important if block
masonry units are used. Color selections should accentuate distinc-
tion and elegance.
12. Off Street Parking:
Parking shall be provided as follows:
a. One space per 1000 square feet of area devoted to display; plus
b. One space /truck or van used in connection with the business per the
maximum number to be stored on the premises at any one time; plus
C. Three spaces per work bay for the first three bays; plus
d. Two spaces per work by in excess of three bays; plus
e. One space /employee per the maximum number on the premises at any

13. Landscape Architectural Style: (Designed by The Peridian Group)
a. Overall Landscape Concept ( Streetscape and Offsite areas)
The landscape architectural concept is designed-to complement the
architectural style of the project. This "high- tech" style is en-
hanced by the use of very clean, formal, and /or semi - formal land-
scape theme.
The paving system for the streetscape will consist of a minimum of
materials selected for their clean and well detailed characteristics.
The plant materials will consist of low trimmed hedges or ground
cover, panels of turf, tropical or sub - tropical evergreen foliage
trees, and palms as vertical accent.
- 10 -
8 -221
The following landscape guidelines are intended to clarify the
specific aesthetic criteria for site landscape design which exem-
plifies the "high- tech" style." On -site dealer landscaping must
meet all other City of Santa Ana General Landscape Design Standards
in obtaining planning approvals, unless otherwise specified. Each
dealership /lot shall allot 5% of the on -site area exclusive of the
building footprints and street oriented landscaping for landscape
planter areas. The landscaped areas shall be designed and located
to provide adequate visual relief to the paved areas, especially
those in public view.
b. Dealership (on -site) Landscape Design Guidelines
Hardscape and landscape palettes have been selected in keeping with
the overall landscape concept. Their repeated use throughout the Auto
Mall will provide a continuity and unification of the architectural
and landscaping themes, while providing each dealer with an oppor-
tunity for an individually designed site. Design elements not in-
cluded in the palettes must be submitted to the Architectural Review
Board for approval.
The design of the portion of the lot closest to the streetscape
should maintain the formality of the streetscape. Within each lot
the overall design theme should be continued although an informal
use of materials is permissible if the design complements the street -
scape theme. Key aspects of on -site design include the use of plant
material in large masses, rows of clipped and /or unclipped hedges,
and a minimum of plant variety within each lot. The use of tree
- 11 -
8-222
material will be carefully reviewed to provide adequate softening
to the building mass and property edges.
High standards of ongoing landscape maintenance will be required
throughout the Mall. On -site maintenance must preserve the land-
scape concept as presented to and approved by the Architectural
Review Boards. The project will be periodically reviewed by the
Architectural Review Board to insure the project is being maintained
in a healthy and growing state.
(1) Handscape palette: On -site paving materials have been selected
to match or complement the streetscape materials and provide
further unification for the project. Streetside display areas
designed and installed by the City Redevelopment Agency shall
encroach into on -site areas as dictated by the agency. (This
will insure continuity of materials.) The lot owners shall be
back - charged for the construction of display paving within their
property boundaries as shown on the Redevelopment Agency land-
scape construction documents.
(a) Paving materials: Paving materials will be restricted to
the following:
(i) Concrete pavers, if used, must match those used in
the adjacent streetside dealer display areas.
(ii) Exposed aggregate concrete may be used as specified
below: Aggregate to be maximum diameter of 1/2"
- 12 -
8-223
with a maximum surface retardant of "medium
reveal" applied. Integral color of concrete
shall be approved by the Architectural Review
Board.
(iii) Plain concrete with a broom finish.
(iv) Asphalt concrete.
(b) Walls: All screen walls on site and any walls exposed
to public view should have clinging vines attached as per
the approved vine list. Construction of on -site screen
walls shall be as per the requirements of the Architectural
Standards. At minimum, all screen walls shall be provided
with a 3 foot wide landscaped planter located adjacent to
the wall where such is in public view.
(c) Fencing:
(i) Chain link: Chain link fencing shall not be visible
from the front side of the auto dealers. It will
only be permitted along property lines adjacent to
the railroad and Newport Freeway, rights -of -way, and
alongside property lines behind storage screen wails
or other permitted structures. All chain link fencing
on property that abuts the Santa Fe Railroad and
Newport Freeway rights -of -way shall have a 4 foot
wide planting area on the inside of the fence and
- 13 -
FOONNUIA
Property line. The inclusion of a 2 foot to 4
foot wide planting area is highly encouraged along
chain link fencing or other wall separations be-
tween adjacent dealer properties. This planting
area shall be required in the area adjacent to the
common boundary between Lots #'6 and B7 and along the
other side property lines of Lot V. These planting
areas shall be fully planted with an approved ground -
cover, vines and a minimum 15- gallon size tree at a
maximum spacing of 20 feet O.C.
(ii) Tubular steel: It is recommended the pickets be a
minimum width of 3/4" and top and bottom rails be a
minimum cross sectional dimension of 1 ". All tubular
steel details must be approved by the Architectural
Review Board. It is recommended that tubular steel
fencing be painted to match the Auto Mall entry
fencing or a flat black color only.
(d) Bollards: Bollards placed on dealer property for vehicle
detainment purposes shall be designed and located on the
Redevelopment Agency plans by the landscape architect.
However, the bollards will be purchased and installed by
the auto dealers per the landscape architect's specifica-
tion. The bollards will be integrated into planting areas
in a manner that effectively and aesthetically screens them
- 14 -
from public view. The bollards shall be a maximum 18"
height above finish grade and spaced as per the Redevelop-
ment Agency plans.
(2) Landscape Palette
The following plant palette shall be used for guideline pur-
poses in developing the on -site landscape plans.

14. Si na e:
Each dealership shall be allowed one wall sign on each wall of a
building which faces a street; however, where there are two or more
buildings on a lot, only one such building shall be permitted a wall
sign per street frontage. The sign area shall not exceed forty (40)
percent of the signable area where located, to a maximum of two (2)
square feet of sign area per lineal foot of building frontage.
The signs should be located on the top showroom facia facing the main
street access and on a wall facing freeway view (if permitted by code).
These building signs must consist of individual neon box letters with
formed plexiglas faces in deep channel metal backs. The metal backs
may either be satin anodized aluminum or baked enamel steel (three
Inches deep). The plexiglas letters are to be kept in frame with an
extruded anodized aluminum V moulding retainer. The total height of
each of these letters is to be no greater than thirty -six inches.
No signage is allowed on the roof of any building.
Monument signs which are permitted pursuant to the following criteria
must not be greater than sixty square feet in area, and shall not ex-
ceed ten feet in height, including standard base. The base of these
signs is to be made of rough sand - blasted concrete with rounded ends,
eighteen inches high and must have a two -inch high, one -inch deep con-
trasting horizontal metal reveal all around, four inches from the top.
The length of the base shall be proportional to the length of the
- 17 -
dealer - provided sign, and shall be twelve inches wide.
All required minor free - standing circulation signage (entrance, exit,
service, etc.) is to be compatible with the above - mentioned main monu-
ment sign in style and finishes.
Monument signs are permitted on each parcel as follows:
a. Monument signs shall be located at public road entrances, but shall
not be located in the triangular areas measured by a ten -foot by ten -
foot diagonal cut -off where a driveway enters on to a street, or in
any other area which may obstruct the vision of motorists so as to
create a safety hazard.
b. Such signs shall be located in a landscaped planter having an area
at least twice as large as the area of one face of the sign.
c. A maximum of two such signs shall be permitted per dealership,
provided there is 300 feet of street frontage separating the signs.
The letter style for all exterior signage is to be avant - garde, medium
or bold. The only instance where a different letter style may be used
is on a 'make' logo (symbol) where a pre - established letter type is
involved.
The main roadside monument signs at both Mall entrances shall be con-
strutted of dark bronze anodized or baked matte painted aluminum,
- 18-
8-229
internally tit cut -out letters with flush translucent plex. The base
shall be similar to monument finishes and height. The verbage shall be
the official Auto Mail name and street number. The sign shall be read-
able from three directions (front, left and right), either with a three
or four -sided box (if approved by the appropriate City decision - making
bodies).
In addition to the above - mentioned standards, all signage shall be in
conformance with the City's Municipal Code and "Design and Developmment
Standards." In regard to any conflicting criteria, the more restrictive
shall apply.
15. Lighting:
Dealership lot and street lighting standards shall be as follows:
a. The type of luminaire and pole selected to be used for all ex-
terior lighting to be equivalent to the specifications found in
G.A.R.D.C.O. Lighting's 'Form Ten H' luminaire, with type three
medium cutoff reflector, or other acceptable alternative.
b. All bronze anodized aluminum luminaires shall be provided with 1000
(one thousand) watt metal halide lamps. Street lighting will be
250 (two hundred fifty) watt high pressure sodium lamps.
c. The mounting height of all luminaires is to be twenty -four feet
from ground level.
- 19 -
d. An initial average of 50 -75 foot candles shall be maintained from
interior lot lighting with a maximum to minimum uniformity of three
to one. Frontline lighting shall have a maximum to minimum uni-
formity of one and one -half to one, and initial average of 75 -100
foot candles.
e. The bronze anodized aluminum poles are to be square in cross sec-
tion and shall be continuous to ground mounting level with adequate
protection by means of a raised six -inch circular concrete curb
with a minimum three -foot radius.
f. The average spacing for interior lot poles with two luminaires per
pole is to be sixty feet center to center. This is based on a
typical 60 -65 foot aisle width. The spacing for all lot front-
line poles with single inward facing luminaires is to be forty feet
center to center.
Independent city street lighting is desired in addition to spill-
over dealer lot lighting. At each street light location, two lumin-
aires (one for dealer lot lighting and the other for city street
lighting) will be installed on one pole. These luminaires will be
the same and placed on separate circuits. The mounting height shall
also be the same (twenty -four feet) with spacing in multiples of
eighty feet. Placement of these street lighting poles should be
staggered on either side of the street, for street lighting efficiency.

To the best of Landlord's knowledge, Vinci is the current and only tenant of the Leased
Premises.
Section 2. Leased Premises
The Leased Premises consist of the property commonly known as 2101 E. Edinger
Avenue, Santa Ana, CA 92705, Assessor's Parcel Numbers 402- 101 -32 and 402 - 101 -42, as
outlined on attached Exhibit "B," which is incorporated herein by reference.

January 2005 Landlord Consent, constitutes the complete agreement between Landlord and
Vinci for the Leased Premises, and no other amendments, modifications or supplements to the
Lease, either written or oral, remain effective as an amendment to the Lease. The July 1997 First

and effect, has not been terminated, and is enforceable in accordance with its terms.

Section 4. Lease Term
The term of the Lease commenced on January 1, 1993, and ends on December 31, 2027.
The Lease is subject to an option to extend the term of the Lease for four (4) additional sixty (60)
month periods, as set forth in the Option to Extend Addendum to Standard Lease which is a part
of the Lease attached as Exhibit "A," which options may be exercised by Vinci, the Agency or
any future lessees under the Lease.

three dollars ($15,503), subject to adjustment on August 1, 2010, and every five (5) years

Exhibit "A."
Section 6. Security Deposit and Prepaid Rent
Landlord holds no security deposit or prepaid rent from Vinci.
Section 7. No Defaults
As of the date of this Consent and Certificate, there exist no defaults under the Lease
which will be asserted against Vinci, the Agency and any future lessees, and no event which with
the passage of time or the giving of notice or both would constitute such a default under the
Lease. Vinci has not presently breached the January 2005 Indemnity and Amendment in any
manner and any breach will not be asserted against the Agency or anyone else, including any
future lessee under the Lease. The March 2002 Assignment of Lease was a default under the
Lease but Landlord will deem the default cured and will not be asserted against Vinci, the
Agency or any future lessee under the Lease. There may also be a default of the Johers under the
November 2004 Indemnity and Amendment, but the Landlord will deem the default cured as
against Vinci, the Agency and any future lessee under the Lease only. Furthermore, the default
of Johers by virtue of the bankruptcy of Johers is a default under the Lease, but Landlord shall
deem the default cured and it will not be asserted against Vinci, the Agency or any future lessee
under the Lease.
Section 8. Notification by Landlord
From the date of this Consent and Certificate and continuing until otherwise directed in
writing, Landlord agrees to notify the Agency immediately at the following addresses, on the
occurrence of any default under the Lease or on the occurrence of any event which with the
