In consideration of the risks to San Francisco arising from the suspension of such <br />initiatives, San Francisco's cooperation with Pleasanton's purchase efforts, and the <br />waiving of San Francisco's desire to sell the entire property to a private developer or the <br />City of Pleasanton, Pleasanton agrees to (1) take final action on certification &San <br />Francisco's existing EIR on the date set forth in this Term Sheet; (2) consider entitling <br />approximately 72 acres of the Bernal Property for the development projects fully <br />described below and in Exhibit A hereto; and (3) mitigate San Francisco's financial risk <br />in bifurcating the sale among multiple buyers by undertaking an entitlement process for <br />72 developable acres that will produce a net purchase price to San Francisco for such <br />acreage that is at least $50 million. If such actions are taken by Pleasanton in a timely <br />manner, San Francisco will sell approximately 430 acres of the Bernal Property to <br />Pleasanton and San Francisco simultaneously will sell, following a competitive bid <br />process, approximately 72 acres of the Bemal Property to one or more private developers. <br />The closing for such sales shall occur concurrently through one escrow. <br /> <br />2.
