The City and the County are referred to collectively as "the Parties." RECITALS 1. The Parties are parties to that certain agreernent entitled "Agreement Between County of Alameda, Surplus Property Authority and City of Dublin Regarding Transfer of Property Tax Revenues Upon Annexation, Provision of Services and Other Matters," dated May 4, 1993 ("the Annexation Agreement"). 2. The Annexation Agreement provides that with respect to the County Governmental Property (as defined) any county governmental uses proposed for the property shall be subject to site development review in accordance with the City's zoning ordinance. 3. In the Annexation Agreement, the parties also agreed "in concept that infrastructure shall be constructed as necessitated by development and to accommodate reasonably projected development and that the costs of such infrastructure should be borne by the properties benefiting therefrom in proportion to the benefit received." 4. The County proposes to construct the East County Government Center on the County Governmental Property ("the Project"), and, pursuant to the Annexation Agreement, the County has applied to the City for site developrnent review approval ("the SDR"). 5. The City during the processing of SDR determined that certain conditions of approval should be imposed upon the Project, including obligations to pay the City's development impact fees, which fund infrastructure that serves the County Governmental Property and other property in the City. The City believes that the Annexation Agreement authorizes the imposition of such conditions on the County. 6. The County believes that many of the conditions that the City desires to impose on the Project, including some of the development fees, are neither authorized by the Annexation Agreement nor otherwise by law. 7. In order to expedite the processing of the Project and to avoid further disputes, the County has agreed, for purposes of this Project only, to subject itself to certain conditions of approval (attached as Exhibit A-1 to this Agreement and incorporated herein by this reference) ("the Conditions"), which conditions include the payment of all or a portion of certain city development impact fees for infrastructure, and the City is willing to agree to impose only the Conditions, provided that a reasonable means of enforcing the Conditions against the County is available to the City. 8. The City typically enforces conditions of approval by refusing to issue further approvals, such as building permits and occupancy, until the conditions are satisfied, but the City does not have further approvals on this project. 9. To ensure that the City has adequate remedies to enforce the Conditions, the Parties desire to set forth their agreement that the Conditions rnay be enforced by specific performance. NOW, THEREFORE, with reference to the foregoing recitals and in consideration of the mutual promises, obligations and covenants herein contained, the City and the County agree as follows: AGREEMENT Section 1. Countv Subiect to the Conditions. Without in any way consenting to the City's interpretation of the Annexation Agreement, the County agrees to be subject to the Conditions. Section 2. Conditions Mav Be Enforced bv Specific Performance. The Parties agree that, should the County refuse to comply with the Conditions, the City would not have adequate remedies at law and that the City's remedy for such a breach is to bring a lawsuit to enforce the Conditions and seek an order of specific performance.

The Recitals contained in this Agreement, and the introductory paragraph preceding the Recitals, are hereby incorporated into this Agreement as if fully set forth herein. b. Severability.

Domestic and fire protection waterline systems shall be designed to be looped or interconnected to avoid dead end sections in accordance with requirements of the DSRSD Standard Specifications and sound engineering practice. 27. DSRSD policy requires public water and sewer lines to be located in public streets rather than in off-street locations to the fullest extent possible. If unavoidable, then public sewer or water easements must be established over the alignment of each public sewer or water line in an off- street or private street location to provide access for future maintenance and/or replacement. 28. Prior to issuance of a Construction Permit by the Dublin San Ramon Services District or the commencement of construction, the locations and widths of all proposed easement dedications for water and sewer lines shall be submitted to and approved by DSRSD. 29.

Change proposed ground CQver material on the northernmost 120 feet of the median between the main entrance and exit drive to a plant that is close to the ground and does not achieve any height. Since the stop sign is proposed to be removed for northbound vehicle traffic in order to encourage better flow from the Hacienda/Gleason intersection (See Condition #23), changing the ground cover to something that is low-lying will ensure that visibility is not obstructed. Installing hardscape (i.e. river rock or other decorative paving) in this area would also be acceptable and would guarantee that landscape does not grow to a height to compromise traffic safety. Responsible Agency: Planning When required: Prior to the establishment of use and the building opening to serve the public 56. The adopted Emerald Park Streetscape Design Guidelines for the current and former Alameda County Surplus Property Authority land (of which this parcel is a part) include design items that have not yet been integrated into the Project Landscape Plans.
