1 <br />BMDV-54329\2647927.2 <br /> <br />FIFTH AMENDMENT TO PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT <br />Town Hall Square <br /> <br /> This FIFTH AMENDMENT OF PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT AND JOINT <br />ESCROW INSTRUCTIONS (this “Fifth Amendment”) is entered into effective as of <br />_____________ ___, 2022 (the “Effective Date”) by and between SUCCESSOR AGENCY TO <br />THE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF SAN LEANDRO, a public agency (the <br />“Agency”), the CITY OF SAN LEANDRO, a California charter city (the “City,” and together <br />with the Agency, “Seller”), and BEAM DEVELOPMENT, LLC, a California limited liability <br />company (“Buyer”). The City, Agency, and Buyer are each referred to individually as a “Party” <br />and collectively as the “Parties”. <br /> <br />RECITALS <br /> <br />A. Buyer and Seller entered into that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement and Joint <br />Escrow Instructions dated as of December 7, 2017 (the “Original Agreement”), as amended by <br />that certain First Amendment to Purchase and Sale Agreement dated as of December 4, 2018 (the <br />“First Amendment”), that certain Second Amendment to Purchase and Sale Agreement dated as <br />of January 30, 2020 (the “Second Amendment”), that certain Third Amendment to Purchase and <br />Sale Agreement dated as of January 31, 2022 (the “Third Amendment”) and that certain Fourth <br />Amendment to Purchase and Sale Agreement dated as of May 31, 2022 (the “Fourth <br />Amendment”, and collectively with the Original Agreement, First Amendment, Second <br />Amendment, Third Amendment and Fourth Amendment, the “Purchase Agreement”). <br /> <br />B. The Purchase Agreement involves the conveyance of the Property (as that term is <br />defined therein) from Seller to Buyer for the purpose of facilitating its ultimate redevelopment <br />consistent with the overall land use vision and relevant goals and objectives as set forth in the <br />City’s relevant planning documents (e.g., the City’s General Plan). The Original Agreement <br />referenced Buyer’s intention to purchase the Property (as well as one or both of the Adjacent <br />Properties, as that term is defined therein) in order to build a residential mixed use project (but <br />the Original Agreement did not require the development of such project). Buyer’s desire to do so <br />was based, in part, on a conceptual proposal prepared by Buyer that incorporated multi-family <br />residential and retail components, which was based on available information known at the time <br />of the Original Agreement. However, since 2017, Buyer has continued to refine the <br />development concept for the Property to take into account the evolving circumstances including, <br />among other things, changes related to the ever-escalating state and regional housing crisis and <br />the associated Statewide legislation removing barriers to housing development, as well as <br />changes in economic and related market conditions associated with rising construction costs, <br />inflation generally, uncertainty in market demand, and shifting retail demand related to the on- <br />going effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and other factors. <br /> <br />C. Subsequent to the Parties entering into the Original Agreement and the First <br />Amendment, the State Legislature adopted amendments to the Surplus Land Act, which could be <br />interpreted to place the Purchase Agreement at risk of termination as a matter of law unless the <br />Closing (as that term is defined therein) occurs on or before December 31, 2022. However, <br />pursuant to a Buyer’s Condition Precedent as set forth in Section 5.2(e) of the Original Agreement
