Cente Steet Sp, Pasadena, CA $1030 Phone (626) 243-4200 Fax (626) 244014 MEMORANDUM OF POINTS AND AUTHORITIES 1 INTRODUCTION In its opposition, MISSION PLACE misstates the issue presented by asserting that this motion is nothing more than an attempt to reargue the underlying motion for summary adjudication. That is false. The Court ruled as it did on August 24, 2012, and HKS and WEBCOR respect that ruling. If the order submitted by MISSION PLACE nearly a year later and thereafter executed by this Court accurately reflected that ruling, this motion would not have been brought. However, the order does not conform to what the Court stated on the record its ruling to be and goes far beyond it. That is the fundamental problem with MISSION PLACE’s order that this motion secks to rectify, The parties spent hundreds of hours voluminously briefing the issues relating to this motion for summary adjudication. The Court spent vast amounts of time reviewing and considering the same. The process culminated on August 24, 2012, with hours of oral argument and judicial colloquy. At that time, the Court clearly delineated the scope of its ruling and the limitations on the same. In doing so, it made it very clear that it was not determining what, if anything was covered by any defense obligation. What did MISSION PLACE submit for the Court’s consideration, approximately one year later? An order which states, amongst other things, that HKS and WEBCOR must defend all claims asserted against MISSION PLACE. An order which contains in its findings statements that are demonstrably and undeniably false (e.g., “HKS agreed to indemnify CUDG for all claims regarding acts of the architect”). These statements are not what this Court ruled at the time, and the fact that a year has passed, and memories diminished, provides no excuse for MISSION PLACE’s attempt to secure indirectly what it was unable to obtain through reasoned argument from the Court earlier. MISSION PLACE’s other arguments are without merit. While the motion was originally noticed for the department to which this case is assigned, something which was both necessary and proper, it has now been referred for hearing to Judge Kramer, so the challenge to the courtroom in which the motion was filed is not only invalid, but moot. A motion for clarification of an order is 18183 2 REPLY TO OPPOSITION RE: MOTION FOR CLARIFICATION /RECONSIDERATIONCc 6H NM DR HW RD RD me NM Nm at I DR ee FF BY NM = S 6S YF YAY RH R WY BY = S&S 28 Coltins Collins Muir + Stewart LLP. 1100 E! Cente Steet Sp, Pasadena, CA $1030 Phone (626) 243-4200 Fax (626) 244014 not limited in the fashion described in the opposition. To the extent that this is viewed as a motion for reconsideration (as distinct from a motion for clarification), and the Court were to decline to review the matter sua sponte, the new facts, circumstances and law justifying reconsideration are, first and foremost, an order that radically differs from the Court’s rulings of August 24, 2012, and, secondly, the very real likelihood (particularly given the timing of the submission and execution of the order, the differing departments involved and the well-documented confusion concerning the receipt of prior filings and submissions in this case) that the transcript of proceedings and the cover letter/Declaration of Noel E. Macaulay regarding the order were not received or considered by Judge Kramer. As such, this motion ought to be heard on its merits and at this time. i MISSION PLACE’S PROCEDURAL ARGUMENTS ARE NEITHER MERITORIOUS NOR APPLICABLE A. This Motion Has Been Filed With the Proper Court This matter is now assigned to Judge Karnow in Department 304. As such, Webcor and HKS were obligated to file this motion in that department. Such requirement certainly does not mean that clarification or reconsideration of a ruling by the judge who previous sat in this department can never be sought. The present judge, Judge Karnow, can assign the reconsideration motion to the judge who originally ruled, Judge Kramer. See In re Alberto, 102 Cal. App. 4th 421, 432 (2002); Ziller Electronics Lab Gmbh v. Superior Court, 206 Cal. App. 3d 1222, 1232 (1988). Indeed, that very assignment occurred at the case management conference held on Friday, September 27, 2013. Thus, MISSION PLACE’s argument not only lacks merit, but is now moot. B. Clarification of the August 19, 2013 Order Is Proper and Necessary As noted in the moving papers, courts have the inherent power to make such orders as are necessary to render their judgments and decrees effective. Code Civ. Proc., § 128 subd. (a)(8); Security Trust & Savings Bank vy. Southern Pacific Railroad Co., 6 Cal. App. 2d 585, 589 (1935). This includes the power to do justice between the parties by making an order conform to the true state of events. See, e.g., Wexler v. Goldstein, 146 Cal. App. 2d 410 (1956). Here, the Court’s order of August 19, 2013 stated that Webcor and HKS have a present duty to defend the claims against 18183 3 REPLY TO OPPOSITION RE: MOTION FOR CLARIFICATION /RECONSIDERATIONCc 6H NM DR HW RD RD me NM Nm at I DR ee FF BY NM = S 6S YF YAY RH R WY BY = S&S 28 Coltins Collins Muir + Stewart LLP. 1100 E! Cente Steet Sp, Pasadena, CA $1030 Phone (626) 243-4200 Fax (626) 244014 MISSION PLACE [August 19, 2013 order 3:27 ~ 4:4], but makes no mention of the qualifying language in the Webcor or HKS contracts; nor does it reference in any way this Court’s prior exhaustive statement of the limitations on the scope of what was adjudicated. The apparent disparity between what was ruled upon on August 24, 2012 and the order issued August 19, 2013 makes the ruling on summary adjudication unclear. Webcor’s contract language limits its very duty to defend to only those matters not “covered or compensated by insurance.” Lloyd’s Underwriters v. Craig & Rush, Inc., 26 Cal.App.4th 1194, 1197 (1994). Movants’ RJN, Ex. 4, Mission Place’s Compendium of Exhibits in Support of Motion for Summary Adjudication (“Compendium”) Ex. 2 at MSA0040 - MSA0041. HKS’s contract limits its indemnity (and thus defense) obligation to matters as to which MISSION PLACE is ultimately adjudicated not to be “actively, passively or concurrently negligent.” Movants’ RIN, Ex, 2, Motion for Summary Adjudication at 3:4-10; Ex. 4, Compendium Ex. 4 at MSA0080. A blanket declaration that the parties have an immediate and present duty to defend MISSION PLACE against the “the claims” not only ignores the very contract language in question, but must have been submitted in deliberate disregard of this Court’s own ruling on the record!. Civ. Code § 2778. It is directly contravened by the very transcript setting forth the ruling the order purports to memorialize [Macaulay Decl. 10:23 — 11:16]. Clarification is therefore appropriate, Cc The Cases Cited by Mission Place Do Not Limit Reconsideration in the Manner Stated in the Opposition To the extent that this is viewed as a motion for reconsideration (as distinct from a motion for clarification), and the Court were to decline to review the matter sua sponte, the new facts, ' MISSION PLACE’s actions in this regard cannot be dismissed as simple oversight or innocent mistake. For example, under “Findings Specific to HKS”, it recites that “HKS agreed to indemnify CUDG for all claims regarding acts of the architect’ (emphasis added). However, as the Court itself acknowledged. during oral argument, the scope of any duty to indemnify/defend for HKS was quite limited (it must “arise or result from” “misconduct, failure to comply with any provision of this Agreement or negligent act, error or omission of Architect...” and did not apply to the extent caused by the “active, passive, or concurrent negligence or willful misconduct on the part of any indemnified party”. The Court itself noted that any recital of such duty would have to incorporate those limitations. [See e.g. discussion and comments by the Court to that effect in RIN No. ILA (Transcript), pgs. 66 (20) — 69 (18)], A misstatement of this magnitude speaks volumes. 18183 4 REPLY TO OPPOSITION RE: MOTION FOR CLARIFICATION /RECONSIDERATIONCc 6H NM DR HW RD RD me NM Nm at I DR ee FF BY NM = S 6S YF YAY RH R WY BY = S&S 28 Coltins Collins Muir + Stewart LLP. 1100 E! Cente Steet Sp, Pasadena, CA $1030 Phone (626) 243-4200 Fax (626) 244014 circumstances and law giving rise to reconsideration are, first and foremost, an order which radically differs from the Court’s rulings of August 24, 2012, and, secondarily, the very real possibility (given the timing of the submission and execution of the order, the differing departments involved and the well-documented confusion concerning the receipt of prior filings and submissions in this case) that the transcript of proceedings and the cover letter/Declaration of Noel E. Macaulay re the order were not received or considered by Judge Kramer. In that regard, MISSION PLACE offers no authority for the proposition that if Judge Kramer did not see the transcript and the supporting Declaration submitted by the parties opposing Mission Place’s order, such cannot be a new fact or circumstance. It is certainly possible—perhaps even probable—that the Court did not know that HKS and Webcor had submitted their own proposed order, a copy of the transcript and a supporting declaration, or that the Court did not receive or consider the same prior to executing the order. Knowledge and review of this material might very well have affected the outcome of the summary adjudication ruling. See Macaulay Decl. { 15. Thus, the failure to review points and authorities, for example (referenced by Mission Place — See Opp. 6:3-5) is only one example of “new circumstances” justifying reconsideration, but is certainly not the universe of all such grounds. As such, HKS and Webcor respectfully request the Court address the motion and on its merits. iW THE ORDER SUBMITTED BY MISSION PLACE MISSTATES THE RULING OF THIS COURT As noted in the Introduction, the parties spent hundreds of hours in voluminously briefing the issues relating to this motion for summary adjudication. The Court then spent vast amounts of time reviewing and considering the same. The process culminated on August 24, 2012, with hours of oral argument and judicial colloquy. At that time, the Court clearly delineated the scope of its ruling and the limitations on the same. In doing so, it made it very clear that it was not determining what, if anything was covered by any defense obligation. This is wot what is reflected in the Order submitted by Mission Place. iit 18183 5 REPLY TO OPPOSITION RE: MOTION FOR CLARIFICATION /RECONSIDERATIONCc 6H NM DR HW RD RD me NM Nm at I DR ee FF BY NM = S 6S YF YAY RH R WY BY = S&S 28 Coltins Collins Muir + Stewart LLP. 1100 E! Cente Steet Sp, Pasadena, CA $1030 Phone (626) 243-4200 Fax (626) 244014 A. The Ruling MISSION PLACE has cited to various portions of the transcript, placing carefully selected and isolated excerpts in the body of its opposition. However, there is no question as to what the Court ruled. The transcript of the August 24, 2012 hearing states: THE COURT: But I don’t know why I couldn’t say I declare that there is a duty for the architects -- I'll pick on you guys -- to provide defense costs to the extent the moving party incurs obligations caused by, and then quote the section in 7.8 of your contract. MR, MACAULAY: Including the exception, Your Honor, correct? THE COURT: Well, yeah, / would probably have to do it right, huh? Yeah. MR. HANSON: And, likewise, with our, you know, “contractor shall,” it’s up to the extent covered or compensated by insurance. So to have a ruling that we have a duty to defend, I can tell you ahead of time that if | after being in court today in a week sit down with Mr. Cvitanovic, that’s going to be our position. We have no duty to pay you a dime. MR. CVITANOVIC: Your Honor, you obviously considered that argument in reading the paperwork, and now he is saying that, oh, he can have a duty to defend, but we have this exculpatory clause. There’s a duty to defend is what you've ruled, and now for them to come back and say, okay, there could be a duty to defend, but we stand on our exculpatory clause doesn’t make sense. THE COURT: /t’s not exculpatory clause. It’s a clause that defends the scope of their duty to defend. I think I can properly resolve the defenses that you raised that this wasn’t an assignment so whatever if says, it doesn’t matter, And we didn’t consent to it so whatever it says, it doesn’t matter. And that there’s a fact question as to whether anybody in their right mind would have agreed to this in the first place, so it doesn’t matter what this thing says. I can resolve all of those questions. They’re important questions. They will have to be resolved perhaps sometime.

Cente Steet Sp, Pasadena, CA $1030 Phone (626) 243-4200 Fax (626) 244014 [Transcript of August 24, 2012, pgs. 68 (17) — 70 (3)] MR. MACAULAY: .. . Obviously, we stand on our position, but I was curious as to was Your Honor suggesting that the Court might determine that there was a valid contract and a valid assignment and a valid consent, but that any duty created was limited to the scope of the indemnity clause and subject to all other legal or equitable defenses that might be applicable? THE COURT: If you were to put that on the Bar exam question that that will result from this, you would get a very high grade. I wish I could have said it better than that. I probably did. Yes. The clause is good and it applies to the moving party. And whatever it says doesn’t get changed by it being assigned and now enforceable. You have the same duty you had to the transferor. Now you have it to the moving party/transferee, but it didn’t expand the coverage of the indemnity at all. [Emphasis Added] [Transcript at pages 73 (10) — 74 (2)] THE COURT: .. . Motion for summary adjudication declaring that there is a duty owed by the architects and the general contractor to the moving party, as set forth in the twe agreements that we’ve dealt with, 1 will declare that using the proper words which need to be worked out. I like counsel’s idea that you have a month or two or whatever you want to work out those words. And there is no issue of fact. The order has to get written, but there is no issue of material fact regarding the existence of that duty or that the words of the agreement govern it. There will be fact issues as to how that applies to what happens in this case for another day. And there’s no fact issue as to whether the tenders were made in the timing and the form set forth in your statement of undisputed facts. And that’s it.

Cente Steet Sp, Pasadena, CA $1030 Phone (626) 243-4200 Fax (626) 244014 Finally, the transcript at pages 82 (21) — 84 (1) reads: THE COURT: J’m adjudicating that there were contracts for each of you that did provide for a duty to defend. Those contracts were effectively assigned to the moving party. They were effectively consented to, and there is no ambiguity regarding the existence of the duty or the scope of the duty. There will be plenty of difficult ways of applying that to what happens in this case. I] understand that. But these things were written in an enforceable matter and were transferred to a transferee who has the right to enforce them. MR, HANSON: Your Honor, you just said there’s no question as to the scope of the duty. There’s a lot of questions as to the scope of the duty. THE COURT: No. There’s the words -- as to what is covered is written clearly, How that applies to the real world is not clear. i mean, give the easiest one. If the architects were negligent and all the other stuff that’s in there, they have to indemnify, including defend and including reimbursing attorneys’ fees. But whether they were negligent or not remains to be seen before anything. There’s enough in the complaint to suggest that if they were, the homeowners are trying to get the owner, the subsequent owner, to pay for it. The scope is clear. The words are good. MR. HANSON: Meaning, the scope is defined hy the contract, correct? THE COURT: You know, sometimes I’m a wise guy and | want to say, “No,” just to watch everybady’s face drop. But, yes, that’s what I’ve said. There’s a contract. B. Mission Place’s Order Did the order submitted by Mission Place nearly a year later, and subsequently executed by the Court reflect the ruling? It did not. Instead, it blandly ignored what the Court stated on the record, and ran roughshod over the careful analysis employed by the Court, as exhaustively delineated in the transcript. The order commences with gross mischaracterizations of the record in the factual findings (¢.g., that “HKS agreed to indemnify CUDG for all claims regarding acts of the 18183 8 REPLY TO OPPOSITION RE: MOTION FOR CLARIFICATION /RECONSIDERATION28 Collins Collins Muir + Stewart ite Fax (620) 2407119 architect”) and culminates in assertions that. the motion was granted as prayed for (e.g. “the Plaintiff's claims are encompassed by. the indenmity and diuty-to-defend. clause,” “owe an wag immediate defense,” “immediate duty to. provide a defense”), This is not what the Court ordered at the time, and in light of the vast discrepancies between the transcript setting forth the ruling and what was submitted and executed a year later, HKS and WEBCOR can only assume that the transcript and supporting Declaration was ¢ither not received or reviewed prior to.the execution of the order. As such, and because as currently formulated the order would do grave. injustice to both the Court and the moving parties, FICS and WEBCOR respecttully request the Court to clarity, via amendment or otherwise, the proper contours of the order. oe WV CONCLUSION Webcor and Mission place respectfully request that this Court clarify or reconsider its previous ruling that, Webcor and Mission Place have a present duty to. defend Mission Place, without qualification. Such a ruling was never contemplated by the Court and does not comport with the evidence presented at the briefing of Mission Place’s motion for summary adjudication.
