2.5. These global mediation efforts have included numerous sessions with the mediation team, presentations by various parties and their experts, and extensive work between and among the Settling Parties and mediators.
2.6.

2.18. The final Mitigated Negative Declaration published by CCSF for the Upgrade (the “MND”), states that the Tower’s existing foundation system consists of a 10-foot-thick reinforced concrete foundation that is supported by 942 concrete piles that extend approximately 75 to 85 feet below ground surface to the Colma Sands soil layer.
2.19. The MND is a public record that is available at https://citypln-m- extnl.sfgov.org/SharedLinks.aspx?accesskey=a3188c491fd824c33258d48103d7a0d75f85 c763883b49777f9ee362eef31049&VaultGUID=A4A7DACD-B0DC-4322-BD29- F6F07103C6E0. The MND was prepared by CCSF in cooperation with the project sponsor and its representatives, and statements made in the MND are based, in part, on representations made by the project sponsor and its representatives to CCSF. The MND is intended to be read as a whole, and is referenced in these factual representations for informational purposes only.

2.21. The MND states that the MTA, as project sponsors, asserts that Subject Property and portions of the Tower have experienced vertical and differential settlement.
2.22. The MND states that the MTA asserts that the existing mat foundation of the Tower has settled approximately 17.6 inches at its lowest point, near the northwest corner of the Tower building, such that the top of the building tilts approximately 17.1 inches to the northwest near the corner of Mission and Fremont streets.
10
2.23. The MTA submitted three building permit applications (Permit Nos. 201812047402, 201812077819, and 201812077828) for the Upgrade to SFDBI on December 4, 2018 and December 7, 2018.
2.24. The MND states that the Tower has been evaluated and determined to be structurally sound.
2.25. The MND states that the Upgrade Plan is intended to implement a structural upgrade of the Tower building foundation, through installation of a structural extension of the existing mat foundation for the Tower building along its north and west sides, supported by 52 new piles extended to bedrock.
2.26. The MND states that the Upgrade Plan is designed to meet the requirements of section 403.9, Voluntary Seismic Improvements, of the San Francisco Existing Building Code, with the intent to reduce future settlement of the Tower.
2.27. The MND states that in addition to abating further settlement in the northwest corner of the Tower building’s existing foundation, the project sponsor asserts that the Upgrade Plan may allow for gradual tilt correction of the Tower building over time, by allowing future long-term settlement to occur over portions of the Tower mat.
2.28. The MND states that the Upgrade Plan geotechnical report indicates that future long-term settlement of the Tower could occur under the Upgrade Plan.
2.29. The MND states that the Upgrade Plan has undergone independent engineering design peer review in accordance with SFDBI requirements related to structural, geotechnical, and seismic hazard design review for the alteration or retrofit of existing buildings.
2.30. The MND states that the peer review team was convened by and under contract with SFDBI.
2.31. The MND states that the peer review team consisted of four members, all licensed professional engineers with extensive experience in structural, geotechnical, and civil engineering including earthquake engineering.
2.32. The MND states that the peer review team during its review assessed the project drawings, structural calculations, geotechnical investigation, written supplements, and reports.
2.33. The MND states that all of the peer review team’s comments on the geotechnical and structural design have been adequately addressed by the project’s design team, and there are no outstanding or unresolved issues, as indicated in its August 27, 2019 findings and recommendations to SFDBI.
2.34. The MND states that the independent peer review team found that once the Upgrade is constructed, the Subject Property would be expected to have performance consistent with the design objectives and in conformity with section 403.9, Voluntary Seismic Improvements, of the San Francisco Existing Building Code, and SFDBI concurred with this finding.
11
2.35. The MND states that the Upgrade project site, where construction activities and staging for the proposed improvements would occur, consists of an approximately 13,900 square foot area within the existing Mission, Beale, and Fremont streets public right-of-way, including sidewalks and sub-sidewalks, vehicular lanes, and parking, adjacent to the Tower and Podium buildings.
2.36. The MND states that Upgrade construction activities are planned to be staged along the perimeter of Fremont, Mission, and Beale streets, requiring the closure of certain travel lanes and sidewalks, with resulting impacts on transit and traffic patterns, as set forth in the MND.
2.37. The MND evaluated the potential environmental impacts of construction activities and other work related to the Upgrade.
2.38. The MND states that prior to excavation and construction of the Upgrade project, implementation of an indicator pile beneath the sidewalk near the corner of Fremont and Mission Streets will be required.
2.39. Because the indicator pile program is necessary to assess the geological strength of the bedrock underneath the Tower building and to determine the required depth of extension of the piles into the rock to achieve design strength, construction of the Upgrade or implementation of the Upgrade Plan may be modified or may not proceed as designed unless the indicator pile program validates the Upgrade Plan.
2.40. The MTA and the Unit Holders acknowledge that prior to commencement of construction of the Upgrade, the MTA as project sponsor will be required to obtain all necessary entitlements and approvals from the relevant government and regulatory authorities.
2.41. The MTA and the Unit Holders acknowledge that the funds required for construction of the Upgrade, including for pre-construction and construction-related services and work associated with the Upgrade, will come from the Global Settlement Proceeds contributed by the Paying Settling Parties, and/or their insurers (pursuant to the Proceeds Agreement) and TJPA, CCSF, as appropriate, and/or their insurers or risk financing entities (pursuant to the Global Settlement Agreement).
2.42. The MTA and the Unit Holders acknowledge that construction of the Upgrade will not commence unless and until the City Easement has been executed, all necessary entitlements and approvals have been provided, the Subject Action and each of them (except the Class Action), have been dismissed with prejudice as required by the Global Settlement Agreement, a final judgment has been entered in the Class Action approving the settlement and providing for the Court to retain jurisdiction to enforce the terms of the judgment pursuant to California Rule of Court 3.769(h), the Upgrade has been fully funded and insured, and the other conditions in the Global Settlement Agreement have been satisfied, including all of the requirements for there to be an Effective Date for this Global Settlement Agreement and for the Class Action Settlement Agreement.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the factual representations and definitions set forth above, which are incorporated herein, and the mutual promises and covenants set forth herein, the Settling Parties agree as follows:
3. SETTLEMENT PAYMENTS
3.1. Global Settlement Proceeds funding. Within 30 calendar days after the Effective Date, all Paying Settling Parties, and TJPA, and/or their respective insurers or risk financing entities, as appropriate, on their respective behalves hereby agree and shall pay to the Global Settlement Administrator their respective portions of the Global Settlement Proceeds pursuant to the Proceeds Agreement (as to the Paying Settling Parties) or as set forth below (as to TJPA and CCSF). The mediation team has verified and confirmed the amounts to be paid by TJPA and its insurers or risk financing entities to the Global Settlement Administrator provided this Global Settlement Agreement is approved by the TJPA Board and all other conditions precedent to payment in Section 3.3 are satisfied. By full execution of this Global Settlement Agreement after the TJPA Board approval, TJPA agrees that it shall pay or cause its insurers or risk financing entities to pay, those amounts, which shall only be disclosed after execution of the Global Settlement Agreement by all other Settling Parties and approval of the Global Settlement Agreement by the TJPA Board as provided and subject to the conditions above. In no event shall the timing of TJPA’s payment obligations, or obligations of its risk financing entities or insurers, occur before the time for payments to the Global Settlement Administrator by any Paying Settling Party or their respective insurers. Payments made to the Global Settlement Administrator by or on behalf of TJPA shall be handled in accordance with the escrow instructions applicable to payments by Paying Settling Parties as agreed to with Citibank, N.A.
The mediation team has also committed to TJPA and the CCSF that within 30 days of the full execution of the Global Settlement Agreement they will re-confirm with the MTA, Class Counsel (on behalf of the Settlement Class), and the Plaintiffs’ Groups the amounts they are expected to receive from the Global Settlement Proceeds. Should the mediation team report to TJPA and the CCSF that they are unable to provide such confirmation (“Failed Confirmation”), TJPA and/or the CCSF shall have the right to terminate this Global Settlement Agreement and any other Agreement it is incorporated into to which it is a party. The parties acknowledge that this Failed Confirmation shall fall outside any mediation protections. Should TJPA and/or the CCSF intend to exercise such termination rights, TJPA and/or the CCSF shall first provide notice of intent to do so to all Settling Parties within 10 days of receipt of such information from the mediation team. It may thereafter terminate the Global Settlement Agreement by filing a document in the lead Lehman matter not less than 31 calendar days or not more than 40 calendar days after sending its notice of intent to terminate.
3.2. As soon as practicable after the approved funding in full of the Proceeds Agreement (as to the Paying Settling Parties) and as to TJPA as provided pursuant to section 3.1 above, the Global Settlement Administrator shall distribute the Settlement Payments in accordance with the terms of this Global Settlement Agreement, the Proceeds Agreement, and/or the Class Action Settlement Agreement as appropriate.
13
3.3. Conditions to Settlement. The Settling Parties agree that this Global Settlement Agreement, and the settlements, releases, and waivers contemplated hereunder, will be contingent upon , and no Settling Party or any contributing insurer or risk financing entity shall be obligated to make any payments unless and until each and every one of the following conditions are satisfied:
(a) all Parties identified in Exhibit 1.a and Exhibit 1.b have executed this Global Settlement Agreement, and as necessary, the Class Action Settlement Agreement, the Proceeds Agreement, other agreements referenced herein, and the Services and Funding Agreement within 42 calendar days of the Execution Date. All parties shall provide notice of their signatures pursuant to Section 11.18. For purposes of this condition Section 3.3(a) only, TJPA’s and CCSF’s signature as to form to present this Global Settlement Agreement and Class Action Settlement Agreement to their respective boards shall be deemed to satisfy this condition, but such signatures shall not satisfy Sections 3.3(g) or Section 3.3(h);
(b) the Court in the Class Action enters the Preliminary Approval Order;
(c) the Opt Out Limit is not reached or is reached and no Settling Party timely exercises its termination rights under Section 4.3 below or Section 9.5 of the Class Action Settlement Agreement;
(d) the Court in the Class Action enters the Final Approval Order and enters judgment in the Class Action;
(e) expiration of the time:
(i) to appeal or to seek review in the California appellate court of last resort of the Final Approval Order or a judgment entered in the Class Action; and
(ii) to bring a motion under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 663 challenging the class judgment resulting from the Final Approval Order and/or an appeal from any denial of any such Section 663 motion;
(f) should an appeal be taken, a petition for review sought, or a California Code of Civil Procedure Section 663 motion be filed challenging the Final Approval Order and/or class judgment within the times required by condition (e), then (i) when the California court of last resort either dismisses such appeal, petition, or motion and/or rules on such appeal, petition, or motion in a manner that affirms or validates the Final Approval Order and class judgment and that ruling becomes final, or (ii) should no appeal be taken, no petition for review sought, and no California Code of Civil Procedure Section 663 motion be filed challenging the Final Approval Order and/or judgment entered in the Class Action within the times required by condition (e), this condition will be deemed satisfied;
(g) completion and satisfaction of each of the City Conditions identified in Section 1.6 above;
14
(h) approval of this Global Settlement Agreement and the Class Action Settlement Agreement by the Board of Directors for the TJPA followed by execution by an authorized representative;
(i) no Settling Party exercises any contractually provided termination rights as set forth in this Global Settlement Agreement, the Proceeds Agreement, and/or the Class Action Settlement Agreement, as applicable, within the time allowed to do so;
(j) all conditions in Section 2.42 have been satisfied and the Services and Funding Agreement and the Construction Contract have been executed; and
(k) no new litigation is commenced against any Settling Defendant regarding the Millennium Tower before all other conditions under this Section 3.3 are satisfied.
If any of these conditions fails to be satisfied, this Global Settlement Agreement and any agreement it is incorporated into shall be terminated and the terms of Sections 4.4 and 11.2 shall apply. A challenge solely to fees or expense reimbursements to Class Counsel shall not affect the finality of this Global Settlement Agreement or the Class Action Settlement Agreement and the settlement contemplated hereunder. The Parties agree to expedite any appeals taken from the judgment or Final Approval Order, including but not limited to filing a motion immediately but not more than ten days after service of notice of the appeal asking the Court of Appeal to expedite the appeal.
3.4. Hernandez Occurrence. In the event that: (1) all other conditions in Section 3.3 excluding Sections 3.3(e), 3.3(f), and 3.3(k) are satisfied, and (2) no person or entity has formally intervened in the trial court prior to the entry of the Final Approval Order and class judgment, and (3) no person or entity has brought a timely motion under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 663 to challenge the Final Approval Order or class judgment (collectively the “Hernandez Occurrence”), then for the funding obligations of Section 3.1 as to the Paying Settling Parties, TJPA, and/or their respective insurers or risk financing entities on their respective behalves, the Effective Date will be deemed to have occurred as of the expiration of time to bring a motion under California Code of Civil Procedure section 663 challenging the Final Approval Order or judgment in the Class Action provided such date is not on or before May 31, 2020.
Notwithstanding anything provided in this Global Settlement Agreement, the Class Action Settlement Agreement, or the Proceeds Agreement, in the event there is a Hernandez Occurrence, any moneys paid pursuant to Section 3.1 shall be held by the Global Settlement Administrator in an interest bearing account and not distributed until no earlier than either the satisfaction of conditions in Sections 3.3(e), 3.3(f), and 3.3(k) or the termination of this Global Settlement Agreement. Thereafter, distribution or return of funds shall occur pursuant to the terms of this Global Settlement Agreement, the Class Action Settlement Agreement, or the Proceeds Agreement, as appropriate, provided, however that the Plaintiffs Groups and the MTA shall have the right to any interest earned on the monies held during this Hernandez Occurrence if the result that led to the distribution was the satisfaction of all of the conditions in Section 3.3, including Sections 3.3(e), 3.3(f) and 3.3(k), and the Paying Settling Parties, TJPA, CCSF, as appropriate,
15
and/or their respective insurers or risk financing entities, shall have the right to the interest in the event that there has been a termination of this Global Settlement Agreement or a failure to satisfy condition Sections 3.3(f) and 3.3(k).
In the event there is a Hernandez Occurrence, the Effective Date for the settlements, releases, dismissals, and waivers in this Global Settlement Agreement other than provided for by Section 3.1, shall not be deemed to have occurred until the satisfaction of all conditions in Section 3.3, including Sections 3.3(e), 3.3(f), and 3.3(k). The Hernandez Occurrence shall in no way limit any rights of termination provided in this Global Settlement Agreement or in any agreement it is incorporated into. Instead, subject to the terms of this Section, the Hernandez Occurrence shall only impact the timing of the funding obligations as provided in Section 3.1 and have no other impact on the terms of this Global Settlement Agreement or any agreement it is incorporated into.
In the event there is no Hernandez Occurrence, the terms of this Section 3.4 shall not apply.
3.5. Effect of Signature. Any Settling Party that executes this Global Settlement Agreement agrees that upon execution by that Settling Party it is bound to the terms of this Global Settlement Agreement for all time subject only to (a) the failure of the conditions set forth in this Global Settlement Agreement under Section 3.3, (b) the failure of any other contracted conditions precedent, and (c) the exercise by that or any Settling Party of any termination rights provided herein, provided in the Class Action Settlement Agreement, or as provided in the Proceeds Agreement.
3.6. Stay of Subject Action. Notwithstanding Section 3.3, upon the satisfaction of condition 3.3(d), the currently set trial date shall be vacated. The Settling Parties further agree that upon this Global Settlement Agreement being sent out for signature the current stay of the Subject Action shall continue until the conditions in Sections 3.3 and 3.4 are satisfied or the Global Settlement Agreement terminates according to its terms. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Global Settlement, in the event that this Global Settlement Agreement, the Class Action Settlement Agreement, or the Proceeds Agreement is terminated for any reason, the Settling Parties agree that they shall request to have not less than 8 months and not more than 12 months to prepare for the Phase One trial after the date of the termination of the Global Settlement Agreement, the Class Action Settlement Agreement, or the Proceeds Agreement.
3.7. No Joint and Several Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Global Settlement Agreement, each Settling Party is only severally responsible for its contribution to the Global Settlement Proceeds, if any. No Settling Party is liable for another Settling Party’s or any insurer’s or any risk financing entity’s failure to meet its payment obligation.
3.8. No guarantee of payments by Insurers or Risk Financing Entities. In the event that one or more insurers or risk financing entities for a Settling Party fails to make the payment for which such insurers or risk financing entities committed that it will make on behalf of such Settling Party, then such Settling Party shall not be liable for breach or be in default of this Global Settlement Agreement. Nonetheless, in that event, the Setting Plaintiffs shall have the right to elect to terminate this Global Settlement Agreement pursuant to the terms
16
of the Proceeds Agreement (as to a non-payment by an insurer for a Paying Settling Party) or as set forth herein (as to a non-payment by an insurer or risk-financing entity for TJPA).
Should a Paying Settling Party or TJPA, as distinct from its insurer or risk financing entity, not make a payment to which they committed pursuant to the Proceeds Agreement (as to the Paying Settling Parties) or as set forth herein (as to TJPA), then the Settling Plaintiffs shall also have the right to terminate this Global Settlement Agreement pursuant to the terms of the Proceeds Agreement (as to the Paying Settling Parties) or as set forth herein (as to TJPA).
A Settling Plaintiff may exercise any termination rights that vest from a TJPA non-payment (inclusive of any non-payment by one of its insurers or risk financing entities), should it occur, by first providing written notice to all Settling Parties within 10 calendar days after notice from the Global Settlement Administrator of a TJPA non-payment. Not less than 11 calendar days and not more than 20 calendar days after the Settling Plaintiff provides such notice, the Settling Plaintiff may terminate the Global Settlement Agreement by filing a document in the Lehman matter stating that the Global Settlement Proceeds did not achieve the total confirmed amount, and that it thereby terminates the entire Global Settlement Agreement.
In the event a Settling Plaintiff does not terminate the Global Settlement Agreement pursuant to termination rights that vest from a non-payment by a Settling Party, including TJPA, the Settling Plaintiffs who took less than their certified amounts shall be entitled to obtain a judgment in the amount of the defaulted payment or portion thereof pursuant to California Civil Procedure Code Section 664.6 against the defaulting Settling Party, provided that the sum of the judgments so obtained, excluding costs and attorneys’ fees, do not exceed the amount of the default.
3.9. Good Faith Motion. The Settling Parties agree that upon the Effective Date, the Global Settlement Agreement is a good faith settlement under California law and each reserves the right to bring a motion for a good faith settlement determination by the court and for the relief provided in Code of Civil Procedure Section 877.6 against any claims subsequently asserted by third parties against one or more Settling Parties regardless of whether the Settling Party has been named and/or is a party to the Subject Action that should be barred by this global settlement. In the event a Section 877.6 motion or similar motion becomes necessary, or that the Agreement is pled as a defense, basis for injunction and/or basis of a cross-complaint or other action, the Settling Parties waive the confidentiality provisions of the Global Settlement Agreement and the Proceeds Agreement to the extent reasonably necessary to fully substantiate such a motion except that specific amounts any Plaintiffs’ Group or Unit Holders receive shall not be disclosed. In no event, however, shall confidentiality be waived under this Section 3.9 before the Effective Date. Should a good faith motion become necessary after the Effective Date, the Settling Defendants agree to provide to each other the amounts paid in consideration as part of this global settlement.
3.10. Payments to Plaintiffs’ Groups and the MTA. Payments to the MTA and to the Plaintiffs’ Groups who are not Settlement Class Members shall be made as soon as possible
17
by the Global Settlement Administrator after the total amount of the Global Settlement Proceeds are deposited into the account administered by the Global Settlement Administrator pursuant to the Proceeds Agreement (as to the Paying Settling Parties) or as provided herein (as to TJPA). Each Plaintiffs’ Group shall be separately responsible for distributing the negotiated and allocated settlement amounts among Unit Holders and any other parties to that Plaintiffs’ Group. The Settling Defendants shall not be responsible for individual distribution of Settlement Proceeds to Unit Holders or any other parties within a Plaintiffs’ Group, the MTA, or to the Settlement Class, and shall not be required to make additional payments to resolve any disputes between or among any Plaintiffs’ Group, Unit Holders or any other parties regarding the amounts allocated to or received by any individual plaintiff member of any Plaintiffs’ Group. The Settlement Parties acknowledge that each Paying Settling Party or TJPA satisfy their obligations once each Paying Settling Party, TJPA, and/or their respective insurers or risk financing entities makes its full payment to the escrow account managed by the Global Settlement Administrator.
3.11. Termination by a Settling Party. If any Settling Party exercises any termination rights under any agreement, it is understood and agreed that such termination shall also terminate this Global Settlement Agreement in full as to all Settling Parties. Sections 4.4, 11.2, and any other Sections dealing with termination shall apply.
4. CLASS SETTLEMENT
4.1. The Settling Parties acknowledge and agree as reflected in Sections 1.11 and 3.3 that one of the conditions precedent of this Global Settlement Agreement is the grant of a fully valid, final Court approval of class-wide settlement of the Class Action on the terms, or substantially the same terms, as set forth in the Class Action Settlement Agreement. This condition applies to all of the Settling Parties to this Global Settlement Agreement, including any Settling Parties who are not parties to the Class Action Settlement Agreement.
4.2. The Settling Parties and their counsel agree that (a) each will not encourage any persons to Opt Out or file objections to the Class Action Settlement Agreement and (b) no Settling Party will permit work product of consultants retained on their behalf in the Subject Action to be shared with persons who Opt Out of or object to the Class Action Settlement Agreement or any other non-Settling Party unless compelled by a court after noticed motion with notice provided to all Settling Parties and their counsel of record.
4.3. Each Settling Defendant shall have the right to terminate the Class Action Settlement Agreement and this Global Settlement Agreement prior to the Final Approval Hearing should the number of Opt Outs exceed the Opt Out Limit. A Settling Defendant shall be deemed to have exercised the termination rights under this section if: (a) such party gives notice to all signatories to this Global Settlement Agreement pursuant to Section 11.18 below of their intent to terminate within 10 days of notice that Opt Out Limit has been exceeded by the Class Actions Settlement Administrator, and (b) on or before the date of the Final Approval Hearing such Settling Defendant thereafter files a document in the lead Lehman matter stating that the Opt Out Limit has been exceeded and that it thereby terminates either this Global Settlement Agreement or the Class Action Settlement
18
Agreement, or both. If any Settling Defendant exercises its termination right under this section, the conditions for global settlement will not have been achieved, the Global Settlement Agreement and any agreement it is incorporated into, including the Class Action Settlement Agreement, shall terminate. In the event of termination, the Settling Parties shall be returned to their respective positions as of the date of this Global Settlement Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and unless separately provided in writing by the Settling Parties, unless and until a Settling Defendant files its termination in the lead Lehman matter as set forth in this Section 4.3(b) or Section 9.5 of the Class Action Settlement Agreement the schedule for final approval of the Class Action settlement shall continue. If a termination is filed under this Section 4.3(b) or Section 9.5 of the Class Action Agreement, notice shall be given to the Settlement Class Members by the Class Action Settlement Administrator in a form approved by the Court.
4.4. In the event that the Class Action Settlement Agreement: (a) is not approved by the Court; or (b) any Objection to the Class Action Settlement Agreement is sustained by any court; or (c) any Settling Defendant exercises its termination rights under Section 4.3 above and/or Section 9.5 of the Class Action Settlement Agreement, this Global Settlement Agreement shall have no further force and effect with respect to the Settling Parties or the Settlement Class Members. In such event, this Global Settlement Agreement and all negotiations, proceedings, documents prepared and statements made in connection with this Global Settlement Agreement shall be without prejudice to any Settling Party or Settlement Class Member and shall not be deemed or construed to be an admission or confession by any Party or any other person or entity of any fact, matter or proposition of law, and all Settling Parties and Settlement Class Members shall stand in the same position as if this Global Settlement Agreement had not been made or submitted to the Court. The Settling Parties further acknowledge that the drafting and negotiations of the Global Settlement Agreement, Class Action Settlement Agreement, and the Proceeds Agreement was done through the mediation such that mediation protections and Section 11.2 apply to those drafts and negotiations.
5. UPGRADE AND REPAIRS TO THE SUBJECT PROPERTY
5.1. Except to the extent provided for in written agreements, if any, between MSD and MTA, except as provided in Section 7 below, or except as a result of other Settling Defendants contracting to assume new responsibilities with respect to the Upgrade that they do not have as of the Effective Date, Settling Defendants shall have no responsibility or liability for the Upgrade or other repairs to be performed at the Subject Property and shall not be required to make any additional monetary contributions to the Upgrade, the Non-Upgrade Repairs or any other repairs, or any decisions made by the MTA regarding the Upgrade, the Upgrade Plan, or Non-Upgrade Repairs. Therefore, notwithstanding any other terms in this Global Settlement Agreement, all Settling Parties acknowledge and agree that all Settling Defendants are released from liability as to any Upgrade Related Claims or any Claims which arise out of any Upgrade Related Claims, except as provided in Section 7 below. MTA and the Unit Holders (1) waive all Claims against Settling Parties for any claimed defects or damages to the Subject Property caused by design, construction, component parts or performance of the Subject Property or one or more of the Adjacent Properties, and (2) agree to the payment to be made from the Global Settlement
19
Administrator to MTA as full and final payment for the Upgrade, all Non-Upgrade Repairs and all other repairs to the Subject Property, among other matters. No Settling Party shall be responsible for any other payments to address any claimed defects or damages to the Subject Property whether or not repaired by MTA or a Unit Holder.
5.2. This Global Settlement Agreement and the Class Action Settlement Agreement are in no way contingent on the effectiveness of the Upgrade in remedying, halting, or correcting any movement or tilt of the Subject Property, and this Global Settlement Agreement and the Class Action Settlement Agreement are enforceable and binding notwithstanding any results or outcome of the Upgrade, the Upgrade Plan, and the Non-Upgrade Repairs or any decisions made by the MTA regarding the Upgrade, or the Upgrade Plan. MTA and Unit Holders, on behalf of themselves and their Related Persons and Entities, covenant and agree not to sue any other Settling Parties for any Upgrade Related Claims and Non- Upgrade Repairs, including any Claims arising from the design, construction or performance of the Upgrade or Non-Upgrade Repairs or any future movement or tilt of the Subject Property or any Claims which arise from any Upgrade Related Claims. The sole remedies MTA and Unit Holders have with respect to any Claims arising from the design, implementation, construction or performance of the Upgrade, Non-Upgrade Repairs, or any future movement or tilt of the Subject Property are against the Upgrade Contractor or Upgrade Design Professional as set forth in Section 7 below. MTA promises that it shall include in its contracts with the Upgrade Contractor that in the event of a claim by the MTA, the Upgrade Contractor shall not be responsible for any claims and damages arising out of the original design and construction of the Subject Property, including but not limited to its structural and foundation design, construction, components and materials, including claims against manufacturers and suppliers, and that the MTA will not assert such claims against the Upgrade Contractor. MTA promises that it shall include in its contracts with the Upgrade Contractor that in the event of a claim by the MTA, the Upgrade contracting parties shall have no right to seek indemnity from the Adjacent Property Owners based on Claims that the MTA is releasing as against the Adjacent Property Owners in this Global Settlement Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Global Settlement Agreement, should the Adjacent Property Owners assert Upgrade-Related Claims against the MTA and/or the Upgrade Contractor, the Upgrade Contractor retains all rights and defenses against the Adjacent Property Owners for indemnity and contribution, and the Adjacent Property Owners retain all corresponding rights and defenses against the Upgrade Contractor and other Adjacent Property Owners.
5.3. Each Settling Party acknowledges with regard to the Upgrade, the Upgrade Plan and the Upgrade Construction Activities, and those matters only, that Shimmick, the MTA, and MSD each are separate and distinct corporate entities, and are not alter egos, joint venturers, or partners of any Settling Party.
5.4. MTA shall require that Adjacent Property Owners shall have the right to request access to the data and information provided to CCSF pursuant to the monitoring program required by CCSF or required to be provided to CCSF for the periods during the construction of the Upgrade and after the construction is completed.
20
6. UPGRADE –RELATED MOVEMENT
6.1. Upgrade-Related Movement. Settling Parties each acknowledge that movement of the Subject Property (including, but not limited to, vertical and differential settlement) is an inherent feature of the Upgrade Plan, as discussed in Section 2, and such movement consistent with the design by itself does not constitute damage or injury.
7. RELEASES
7.1. Release. Subject to the reservations that are referred to in Sections 1.30, 7.4, 7.5, 7.6, 7.7, and 7.17, all Settling Parties, on behalf of themselves and each of their Related Persons and Entities, and on behalf of any person or entity who may claim by or through them, fully and finally mutually release, acquit, relinquish, waive, and forever discharge all known and unknown Released Matters between or among them and all other Released Parties, whether or not asserted in the Subject Action.
7.2. Release Binding on Affiliates and Successors. For clarification purposes, and while recognizing the releases set out in this Global Settlement Agreement release additional parties, the Settling Parties repeat here their intent that releases set forth in this Global Settlement Agreement shall be construed to release, acquit, relinquish, waive, and forever discharge all Released Matters of any entity that is a parent, subsidiary, or affiliate of a Settling Party or any Related Person or Entity of a Settling Party and any subsequent purchaser, successor or assignee of any interest in the Subject Property from any Released Party, including but not limited to any Settling Party or any Related Person or Entity, including, but not limited to, mortgagees and other lienholders. The releases in this Global Settlement Agreement are intended to extend to all persons with any past, present or future interest in the Subject Property. The Settling Parties who are owners of Adjacent Properties agree to disclose the resolution of the Subject Action and the releases herein to any future buyer of an Adjacent Property.
7.3. Section 1542 Waiver. Except as provided otherwise in this Global Settlement Agreement, the Settling Parties intend the releases set forth in this Global Settlement Agreement to be binding, notwithstanding the discovery of facts not presently known by the Settling Parties or Released Matters of which the Settling Parties are not presently aware. The Settling Parties understand and have been advised by counsel concerning the meaning of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which provides as follows:
A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY.
The Settling Parties expressly understand and acknowledge that it is possible that unknown losses or Released Matters exist or that present losses may have been underestimated in amount or severity, and the Settling Parties explicitly took that into account in determining
21
the amount of consideration for this Global Settlement Agreement, and a portion of said consideration has been bargained for between the Settling Parties to this Global Settlement Agreement with the knowledge of the possibility of such unknown Released Matters, and was given in exchange for a full accord, satisfaction, and discharge of all such Released Matters (which Released Matters, for sake of clarity exclude those reserved claims as set forth herein in Sections 1.30, 7.4, 7.5, 7.6, 7.7, and 7.17 or in separate side agreements). The Settling Parties waive, release, and relinquish any and all rights and benefits they may have under the above provisions of Section 1542 as it may apply to the Released Matters to the fullest extent the Settling Parties may lawfully waive these rights or benefits.
7.4. Assignment by Unit Holders of Certain Claims for Property Damage. The Unit Holders hereby assign to the MTA any Claims for Catastrophic Damage to real property against the Upgrade Contractor or the Upgrade Design Professional that occur during and result from Ongoing Operations (the “Assigned Claims”). The MTA alone shall have the right and duty to prosecute any such valid diminution in value assigned claims on behalf of any impacted Unit Holders. Except as set forth in Section 7.6 below, all other Upgrade- Related Claims belonging to Unit Holders and all other Claims by the Unit Holders arising from Non-Upgrade Repairs are included in the Released Matters.
7.5. Preserved MTA Claims Regarding Upgrade. The Claims released herein do not include the Assigned Claims, as well as the Claims belonging to the MTA against: (a) the Upgrade Contractor; (b) the Upgrade Design Professional; and (c) any other claims which MTA would have under law or equity against any other non-Settling Party providing labor, materials or services related to implementation of the Upgrade, Upgrade Construction Activities, Upgrade Plan, or Ongoing Operations.
7.6. Preserved Unit Holder Claims Regarding Upgrade. The Claims released herein do not include Claims for personal injury by Unit Holders against the Upgrade Contractor or Upgrade Design Professional related to Upgrade Construction.
7.7. Preserved Adjacent Property Owners’ Claims. The Claims Released herein do not include any of the following belonging to any Adjacent Property Owners: (a) any Upgrade- Related Claims against the Upgrade Contractor or Upgrade Design Professional; (b) any Ongoing Operations Claims against the Upgrade Contractor or Upgrade Design Professional; (c) any Non-Upgrade Repairs Claims against the MTA and those the MTA elects to perform those repairs should it choose to do so; (d) Claims against the MTA for future damages; (e) Claims against any owners of any units in the Subject Property, residential or commercial, for future damages that arise from conduct in their units after the Execution Date; and (f) Upgrade Related Claims against MSD arising out of any acts or omissions with respect to the services it provides regarding the Upgrade, and that cause harm to an Adjacent Property. With respect to the Upgrade Related Claims reserved in Section 7.7(f), should such a claim be brought, the prevailing party shall be entitled to its reasonable attorney fees and costs.
7.8. Exception as to Governmental Functions. This Global Settlement Agreement shall have no impact on the CCSF’s ability to perform its governmental functions. The CCSF shall continue to perform its governmental functions arising out of the San Francisco Charter,
22
San Francisco’s Municipal Codes and Ordinances, and any other applicable law. This includes, but is not limited to, levying and collecting taxes or fees owed to the CCSF and requiring compliance with applicable building code requirements. The Settling Parties acknowledge that the CCSF retains all rights to perform its governmental functions. This Global Settlement Agreement does not impact the rights of any Settling Party to challenge, when appropriate under applicable law, an action of the CCSF done in performing its governmental functions.
7.9. Release and Waiver of Subrogation. Except as set forth in Sections 1.30(8) and 1.30(9), the Released Matters shall include any and all subrogated Subject Action Claims and any and all rights of subrogation related to Released Matters.
7.10. Memorandum of Settlement. Concurrent with the execution and delivery of this Global Settlement Agreement, the MTA shall execute and deliver to the Settling Parties a Memorandum of Settlement suitable for recordation in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 6, and incorporated herein by this reference. The Memorandum of Settlement shall be held in trust and not be filed by counsel for the MTA until the Effective Date. After the Effective Date, the MTA shall cause the Memorandum of Settlement to be recorded with the Office of Assessor/Recorder for CCSF within 5 business days. It is further understood and agreed that the unrecorded Memorandum of Settlement (prior to the Effective Date) and the recorded Memorandum of Settlement (after the Effective Date) shall be included in the package of documents that the MTA provides to all prospective purchasers and owners of residential units in the Subject Property, which package also includes the Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions (CC&R’s) for the Millennium Tower Development. It is further covenanted by the Settling Plaintiffs that the terms of Sections 7.11 and 7.12 shall apply before and after the Effective Date.
7.11. No Assignment or Transfer. Each Settling Party represents and warrants that no other person or entity has any interest in their Released Matters, and that it has not assigned or transferred, by subrogation or otherwise, and will not assign or transfer to any person or entity whatsoever, any interest in the Released Matters. For avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that the mere sale of a Unit without transfer of a Claim or Claims, which are the subject of the Released Matters shall not be a breach of this provision or warranty.
7.12. Indemnity Related to Non-Party Claims. Except as provided in Section 1.30(8) or 1.30(9), if any Settling Party breaches the promises and warranties made in Section 7.11 and that breach gives rise to a claim against any Released Party, the breaching party shall be obligated to defend and hold harmless the Released Party from that claim. It is understood by each Settling Party that any indemnity, if any, provided by that Settling Party pursuant to this Section 7.12 may accrue as of the execution of this Global Settlement Agreement but shall not become enforceable until the Effective Date.
7.13. Covenant Not To Sue. Except as otherwise permitted by this Global Settlement Agreement, each Settling Party covenants and agrees never to commence, institute, maintain, prosecute, continue or aid another in commencing, instituting, maintaining, or prosecuting any action, including without limitation, lawsuit, action, arbitration, right, or
23
administrative proceeding against any Released Party, based in whole, or in part, on the Released Matters, amounts previously paid or received under this Global Settlement Agreement, amounts paid or received to settle other claims regarding the Subject Property, defense costs related to Released Matters, and costs arising from the duty to defend or indemnify against Released Matters. This covenant not to sue includes Subject Action Claims for subrogation. This covenant not to sue shall be deemed breached and a cause of action shall be deemed to have accrued thereon immediately upon the commencement, prosecution or continuation of any such action or proceeding, except as permitted herein, and in such event, this Global Settlement Agreement may be pleaded as a full and complete defense thereto, as the basis for abatement or injunction against said action or other proceeding, and as the basis of a cross-complaint or other action for damages, including prevailing party attorneys’ fees and costs, to the extent recoverable for breach of this Global Settlement Agreement, pursuant to the terms of Section 11.19.
7.14. Attorneys’ Fees and Expenses. Each Settling Party to this Global Settlement Agreement waives its rights, except as otherwise provided herein, against the others to collect Attorneys’ Fees and Expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly understood and agreed that pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section 1036, all claims of inverse condemnation that have been resolved pursuant to this Global Settlement Agreement, were settled in an amount that includes a negotiated payment of all of the Plaintiffs’ attorneys fees, expert fees, costs and expenses.
7.15. Broad Interpretation of Release Terms. The Settling Parties agree that the defined terms for “Claims,” “Released Matters,” “Subject Action Claim,” and “Upgrade-Related Claim” should be given the broadest possible meaning in any interpretation of the Global Settlement Agreement, consistent with the Settling Parties’ intent to achieve a complete and final resolution as to the Released Matters.
7.16. No Other Parties. Except as otherwise provided in this Global Settlement Agreement, each Settling Party hereby represents and warrants to each other Settling Party that it has not reserved any Claims arising out of or related to any Released Matters against any non- Settling Party. With the exception of claims preserved by Sections 1.30, 7.4, 7.5, 7.6, 7.7 and 7.17, it is understood and agreed that any action regarding any Released Matter brought by any Settling Party against any non-Settling Party would give the non-Settling Party potential rights to make Claims against other Settling Parties. Any Settling Party who brings suit against a non-Settling Party asserting any Claims arising out of or related to any Release Matter will be deemed to have breached this Global Settlement Agreement immediately upon the commencement or prosecution of any such action or proceeding. Such Settling Party, hereby agrees to defend, hold harmless and indemnify any and all other Settling Parties who are sued by any such non-Settling Party, from and against all losses, costs, expenses, attorneys’ fees, obligations or liabilities arising out of or relating to the non-Settling Party’s Claims. This representation and warranty, and the indemnity set forth herein, survives the releases given above.
7.17. Indemnity Reservation. In the event that there are any Claims by past or present owners of units in the Subject Property who are not Settling Parties (that were they a Settling Party would have been a Subject Action Claim) and such Claims are not resolved or released
24
through this Global Settlement Agreement or the Class Action Settlement Agreement, future indemnity claims as to such claims are not released by the Settling Parties as to themselves and their Related Persons and Entities. TJPA and MSD agree that as between themselves the scope of the TJPA Easement Agreement as to such claims, including the duty to defend, remains disputed. This Section shall not apply to the claims reserved in Sections 7.4 and 7.6. This Section creates no indemnity rights against Plaintiff Unit Owners. This Section is not intended: (a) to and shall not revive any Released Matter, (b) to revive or to suggest any claim has merit, or (c) to waive any defense to such claims.
8. DISMISSALS
8.1. Dismissals. Any Settling Party that has filed a complaint or cross-complaint in the Subject Action shall file a request for dismissal with prejudice within one week of the Global Settlement Administrator distributing the Settlement Proceeds to the MTA, the Plaintiffs’ Groups and the Class Action Settlement Administrator. This paragraph does not apply to the Class Action for which the Court will enter a final judgment approving the settlement, and retain jurisdiction to enforce the terms of the judgment pursuant to California Rule of Court 3.769(h), as provided for in the Class Action Settlement Agreement.
9. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
9.1. Dispute Resolution. Any Claims brought by Unit Holders, excluding any claims in Section 7.6, related to the Upgrade against the Upgrade Contractor or Upgrade Design Professional shall be submitted to binding arbitration with JAMS, pursuant to its applicable rules. Any issue as to the applicability of the Release to any such Claims by or on behalf of Unit Holders against the Upgrade Contractor or Upgrade Design Professional shall be resolved under the JAMS Expedited Arbitration Procedures, including whether or not the damage at issue on any Upgrade Related Claim involves Catastrophic Damage as defined herein. In any dispute resolution proceedings, whether under this Section 9.1 or Section 11.15, the party asserting a Claim shall have the burden of proof to establish that it has not been released by this Global Settlement Agreement.
10. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTY
10.1. Each Settling Party acknowledges that every other Settling Party to this Global Settlement Agreement has relied and is relying on the representations and warranties provided contained in the Global Settlement Agreement in entering into this Global Settlement Agreement. As reflected in the attached Class Action Settlement Agreement, Settlement Class Members shall be deemed to have made these representations and warranties by remaining Settlement Class Members.
11. MISCELLANEOUS
11.1. Confidentiality. This Global Settlement Agreement and the Class Action Settlement Agreement will be filed with the Court and are not intended to be confidential. This Global Settlement Agreement arises from a mediated settlement where a number of private parties to the settlement conditioned their participation in the settlement in part on maintaining confidentiality. These parties have made private commitments which do not require CCSF
25
or TJPA approval. These private parties consist of all Settling Parties except for the CCSF and TJPA (including its members). The total amount of the Global Settlement Proceeds, contributions by or on behalf of private parties to the Global Settlement Proceeds, the separate Proceeds Agreement and all certificates executed under the Proceeds Agreement are to be treated as confidential to the maximum extent permitted by law. The Settling Parties and their counsel agree that they will only disclose such confidential information under the following circumstances: (1) disclosure is required by court order or by law (including laws applicable to the Settling Parties who are public entities who will give notice to the other Settling Parties of any third party requests for this information), (2) disclosure is necessary for a Settling Party’s financial or business reporting purposes, including but not limited to, financial, tax, insurance and regulatory requirements, and (3) disclosures permitted in Section 3.9 or elsewhere in this Global Settlement Agreement.
11.2. Mediation Confidentiality and Protection Preserved. Notwithstanding anything in this or any other agreement, all information which is protected by the mediation confidentiality, privilege, and/or any applicable privileges and protections remains confidential, privileged and is not waived by this or any other agreement. Unless expressly waiving mediation protections, confidentiality, and/or privilege, no reference to the mediation in this or any other agreement shall be deemed a waiver of any mediation protections, confidentiality, and/or privilege.
11.3. Cooperation. The Settling Parties shall reasonably cooperate with each other and act in good faith to effectuate the purposes of this Global Settlement Agreement. Each Settling Party will take all steps, do all things, and sign, execute and deliver all documents reasonably necessary to give effect to this Global Settlement Agreement or to carry out and achieve the terms and conditions, goals, and the purposes of this Global Settlement Agreement. The Parties agree that they will not engage in any conduct that will or may frustrate the purpose of this Global Settlement Agreement.
11.4. Headings. Section titles, headings, and captions herein are inserted as a matter of convenience and in no way define, limit, extend, or describe the scope of this Global Settlement Agreement or any provisions contained herein.
11.5. Severability. Except for those terms concerning the modification provision in Section 11.12, the Releases, the Proceeds Agreement, and Memorandum of Settlement, if any Section, section, sentence, clause, or phrase in this Global Settlement Agreement shall become illegal, null, or void for any reason, or shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal null, void, or against public policy, the remaining Sections, sections, sentences, clauses, or phrases herein shall not be affected thereby and the balance of the Global Settlement Agreement shall remain fully enforceable consistent with the intent of the Settling Parties as expressed herein. If any Section, section, sentence, clause, or phrase in this Global Settlement Agreement affecting the scope of the modification provision, Releases, the Proceeds Agreement, or the Memorandum of Settlement shall become illegal, null, or void for any reason, or shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal null, void, or against public policy, the Global Settlement Agreement and any agreement it is incorporated into shall be null and void, and the Settling Parties shall be returned to their respective positions as of June 27, 2019.
26
11.6. Denial of Liability. This Global Settlement Agreement is the compromise of disputed Subject Action Claims and nothing contained herein is to be construed as an admission of liability, obligation, or fault on the part of any of the Settling Parties, each of whom expressly deny any liability, obligation, or fault; nor shall it be construed as an admission of the absence of any liability, obligation, or fault on the part of any of the Settling Parties. This Global Settlement Agreement is intended merely to avoid further litigation.
11.7. Compliance with Protective Orders. After dismissal of the Subject Action and each of them (except the Class Action), and entry of final judgment in the Class Action pursuant to California Rule of Court 3.769(h), the Settling Parties covenant and agree to not use documents produced through discovery or the mediation process by another Settling Party for any purpose that is inconsistent with the Stipulated Protective Order entered in the Subject Action on or about July 3, 2017 or any other court orders governing the use of such documents produced in the Subject Action.
11.8. Independent Advice of Counsel. The Settling Parties represent and declare that in executing this Global Settlement Agreement, they rely solely upon their own judgment, belief, and knowledge, and the advice and recommendations of their own independently selected counsel.

11.14. Waiver. The waiver by one Settling Party of any provision or breach of this Global Settlement Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver by any other Settling Party of any other provision or breach of the Global Settlement Agreement. Further, the waiver by one Settling Party of any provision or breach of the Global Settlement Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of any other provision or breach of the Global Settlement Agreement.
27

This Global Settlement Agreement, and any disputes arising under this Global Settlement Agreement, shall be governed, construed, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California without giving effect to the provisions, policies, or principles relating to choice of law or conflict of laws. Except as provided by Section 9.1 above, the Settling Parties further acknowledge, agree, and stipulate that the San Francisco Superior Court shall retain jurisdiction to enforce the terms of this Global Settlement Agreement. The Settling Parties waive any rights to remove any such dispute to federal court or to have such disputes arbitrated.
11.16. Binding on Successors. The Global Settlement Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the heirs, successors and assigns of the Released Parties.
11.17. Arms-Length Negotiations. The determination of the terms and conditions contained herein and the drafting of the provisions of this Global Settlement Agreement has been by mutual understanding after negotiation, with consideration by, and participation of, the Settling Parties hereto and their counsel. This Global Settlement Agreement shall not be construed against any Settling Party on the basis that the Settling Party was the drafter or participated in the drafting. Any statute or rule of construction that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the implementation of this Global Settlement Agreement and the Settling Parties agree that the drafting of this Global Settlement Agreement has been a mutual undertaking.
