NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy whereof is herewith acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows, to wit: 1. Partial Assignment and Assumption of Rights, Privileges and Obligations Applicable to the Acquired Parcels Pursuant to the Development Inducement Agreement. Assignor does hereby transfer, assign, convey and deliver unto Assignee, its successors and assigns, all of Assignor’s rights, privileges and obligations as described in the Development Inducement Agreement with respect to the Acquired Parcels. Assignee hereby assumes and agrees to perform all of Assignor’s rights, privileges and obligations as described in the Development Inducement Agreement applicable to the Acquired Parcels, to the extent arising from and after the date hereof. Assignee acknowledges receipt of the Development Inducement Agreement and all Exhibits thereto and agrees to be bound by the terms thereof and to develop the Acquired Parcels in accordance with such terms. The rights and obligations hereby assigned and assumed shall be covenants running with the land, binding upon the parties hereto and their successors and assigns. 2. Estoppel Certificate. The City and Assignor hereby certify the following, to wit: (a) that the Development Inducement Agreement is in full force and effect; (b) that the Development Inducement Agreement has not been amended or modified; (c) that, to the knowledge of City and Assignor, all parties to the Development Inducement Agreement are in full compliance with all obligations thereunder as of the date hereof; (d) that, to the knowledge of City and Assignor, no event has occurred or failed to occur which, with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute an event of default under the terms of the Development Inducement Agreement; and (e) that, by its execution hereof, the City hereby consents to the terms of this Assignment and agrees, that with respect to any obligations assigned by Assignor to Assignee and assumed by Assignee hereunder, the City shall look ATTACHMENT #8 Page 20 of 40 3 solely to Assignee, not to Assignor, for performance of such obligations and enforcement thereof by the City. 3. Default and Enforcement of Provisions. Upon the failure of Assignor, Assignee or the City to comply with the terms of the Development Inducement Agreement and this Assignment incident to the Acquired Parcels, one or more of the non-defaulting parties may pursue the remedies set forth in Section 4 of the Development Inducement Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the City, Assignor and Assignee acknowledge and agree that the grant payments payable under Section 2(a) of the Development Inducement Agreement are specific to each Phase B Parcel, so that performance by any Phase B Parcel Owner of its obligations under Section 2(a) in order to entitle it to receipt of the grant provided in such Section is not dependent on performance by any other Phase B Parcel Owner. For avoidance of doubt and by example, if the Owner of Parcel D meets the requirements for the grant payments attributable to Parcel D as set forth in Section 2(a), but the Owner of any other Parcel does not, the Owner of Parcel D will still be entitled to its grant payment under Section 2(a). Similarly, the right of the City to terminate the Development Inducement Agreement under Section 4(c) of the Development Inducement Agreement due to a default by a Phase B Parcel Owner shall not, in and of itself, terminate the right of any other Phase B Parcel Owner to receive the grant provided in Section 2(a) of the Development Inducement Agreement if such other Phase B Parcel Owner satisfies the conditions for such grant. 4. Indemnification. (a) Assignee agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Assignor, its agents, principals, successors and assigns, and their affiliates from and against all losses, costs, damages or other matters arising out of any breach by Assignee of the Development Inducement Agreement from and after the date hereof. (b) Assignor agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Assignee, its agents, principals, successors and assigns, and their affiliates from and against all losses, costs, damages or other matters arising out of any breach by Assignor of the Development Inducement Agreement prior to the date hereof. 5. Notices. Any notice, demand, request, consent, approval or communication among any of the parties hereto or the City shall be in writing and shall be delivered or addressed as provided under Section 5 of the Development Inducement Agreement and shall be addressed as follows: As to Assignee: c/o South City Partners, LLC 3715 Northside Parkway, Suite I-310 Atlanta, Georgia 30327 Attention: John W.
