DESCRIPTION:
The City Council has committed to providing financial assistance to Eden Housing (or a
controlled affiliate) for the development of a 66-unit affordable rental project targeted to house
veterans of the U.S. armed forces and their families. The project is tentatively named Veterans
Family Apartments. The development of veterans housing is a key City Council Strategic
Initiative.
At the November 18, 2014 City Council meeting, the City Council committed to providing a $6.4
million loan from the City's Affordable Housing Fund to partially finance the development of
Veterans Family Apartments. At that meeting, the City Council also directed staff to work with
Eden Housing to negotiate the agreements required to develop the project. Since that time, Staff
has worked closely with Eden Housing to prepare and revise a Predevelopment Loan
Agreement, prepare a Regulatory Agreement and Declaration of Restrictive Covenants,
Management and Marketing Plan Agreement, and a Loan Agreement to establish requirements
and terms associated with acceptance of the City loan funds.
Proiect Overview
The Veterans Family Apartments site is located at 6707 Golden Gate Drive in close proximity to
the West Dublin / Pleasanton BART station as well as downtown shops, services, and
amenities. Figure 1 shows an aerial map of the site location. The four-story building will include
a mix of one, two, and three-bedroom apartments to accommodate a variety of family types.
Planned amenities will include a community room, private meeting areas for smaller groups,
computer lab, laundry facilities, community gardens, outdoor grill area, play area, and
coordinated case management and other support services provided in partnership with local
veterans' organizations.

Project Financing
The estimated total cost to develop the Veterans Family Apartments is approximately $28
million. In addition to a City of Dublin loan, Eden Housing has secured financing from Alameda
County (Boomerang, HOME, and CHDO funds), Bank of America, and from the California
Department of Housing and Community Development (Infill Infrastructure Grant). Applications
for additional funds from the Federal Home Loan Bank Affordable Housing Program and Home
Depot Foundation are pending. The primary source of project financing is Low-Income Housing
Tax Credits (LIHTC). Eden Housing submitted a non-competitive 4% LIHTC application in May
2015. Confirmation of the LIHTC award is expected in August 2015.
Eden Housing has applied for 25 project-based housing vouchers from the Alameda County
Housing Authority, all or a portion of which may be converted to Veterans Affairs Supportive
Housing (VASH) vouchers once the project nears completion.
The table below shows secured and pending funding sources.

The approximately 1.4-acre project site was transferred to Eden Housing at a nominal price by
BWD Dublin, LLC, an affiliate of Bay West Development Partners IV LLC (Bay West). Bay West
is the developer of the 314-unit market-rate residential project to the immediate north of the
Veterans Family Apartments site (across Saint Patrick Way). This transfer was approved by the
City Council as a component of the Bay West Community Benefit Agreement on October 7,
2014. The land transfer served as a means of facilitating the Veterans Family Apartments
development and satisfied the inclusionary housing obligation for the Bay West project.
Project Schedule
Eden Housing expects to finalize financing and break ground on the project in August or
September 2015. It is anticipated that units will be complete and ready for occupancy by
December 2016.
Revised Predevelopment Loan Agreement
The initial Predevelopment Loan Agreement was negotiated with Eden and approved by the City
Council on January 20, 2015 (Resolution #05-15). Eden has since requested minor changes to
the Predevelopment Loan Agreement. Proposed changes include:
• Predevelopment Loan Repayment: Changes to Recital E and Section 1.2(c) would
allow Eden to use funds from the Bank of America Department of Justice loan to repay
the City Predevelopment Loan. This change will allow Eden to meet the tight funding use
timeframe associated with the Bank of America loan. Once the Predevelopment Loan is
repaid, Eden could draw from the undispersed $6.4 million construction loan, pursuant to
the terms of the Loan Agreement outlined below.
• Eden Affiliate: Revisions to Sections 1.2(b) and 5.1 would change the Eden owned and
operated affiliate from Corona Crescent, Inc. to Eden Development, Inc. Eden
Development, Inc. is a Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO) as
defined by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development. CHDO's
must meet certain characteristics regarding legal status and organizational structure.
Making this change will allow Eden to take advantage of an additional $300,000 in funds
from Alameda County.
• Regulatory Agreement: A change to Section 1.7 would eliminate detail regarding the
use and operation of the development and refer instead to the Regulatory Agreement as
described below. This is useful in ensuring consistency and clarity throughout the
document package.
Regulatory Agreement and Declaration of Restrictive Covenants
The negotiated Regulatory Agreement and Declaration of Restrictive Covenants establish City
requirements for the operation of the project throughout the term of the agreement (55 years).
Key terms of the Regulatory Agreement and Declaration of Restrictive Covenants include:
• Affordability: With the exception of a manager's unit, all units will be rented at affordable
levels to very low and low income households for a period of no less than 55 years.
• Veteran's preference: Eden Housing will conduct extensive outreach to veterans
organizations and prioritize placement of veterans households in project units, to the
Page 4 of 6
extent allowed under fair housing and other relevant law. In addition, Eden Housing will
apply for VASH vouchers from the Veterans Administration and set aside units for VASH
voucher holders as appropriate.
• Fair housing and non-discrimination: Eden Housing will comply with all relevant state
and federal fair housing laws and will not discriminate against any person or group in the
operation of the project.
• Annual monitoring: The project will be subject to annual monitoring to verify compliance
with agreement terms and ensure that tenant eligibility is verified upon initial occupancy
and annually thereafter. Eden Housing will provide a written report and will be subject to
an in-person records and site inspection.
• Affordable unit credits: The project will generate a total of 57 affordable unit credits (66
total units less 8 needed to satisfy the 12.5% requirement for the project as a whole and
1 manager's unit). As established in the Bay West Community Benefit Agreement, Eden
Housing is eligible for an award of affordable unit credits generated from the project
development. The City has agreed to grant Eden Housing up to 17 affordable unit credits,
which may be sold to another developer and used to satisfy that developer's inclusionary
housing obligation, subject to approval by the Community Development Director. Credits
issued to Eden Housing will revert to the City if not used prior to the project securing its
permanent financing (shortly following completion of construction). The remaining 40
affordable unit credits will be retained by the City.
• Maintenance, repair, and management: Eden Housing will be fully responsible for
management of the property and will maintain the property in good physical condition.
• Management and Marketing Plan: Eden Housing will prepare and submit a
Management and Marketing Plan for the project for the City's review and approval. The
Plan will describe marketing and outreach efforts to prospective tenants, particularly
veterans' households, as well as wait list management, eligibility verification procedures,
and ongoing standards for maintaining and managing the property.
Management and Marketing Plan Agreement
The Management and Marketing Plan Agreement establishes the preference points system for
unit leasing, a key component of the Management and Marketing Plan. The Management and
Marketing Plan is required under the Regulatory Agreement and will be completed by Eden
Housing, Inc. and reviewed and approved by the City during the construction period. The
preference points system is intended to ensure that veteran households receive priority in the
application and leasing process, with secondary preferences for those families that live/work in
Dublin, as well as seniors and persons with disabilities.
Loan Agreement
The Loan Agreement establishes requirements for the issuance, use, and repayment of City
loan funds. Key terms of the Loan Agreement include:
• Loan amount: The City will provide a total loan of up to $6.4 million, $1.4 million of which
is in the form of a predevelopment loan (as approved by the City Council on January 20,
2015).
• Excess proceeds: Eden will repay a portion of the principal balance of the City loan with
any excess proceeds when permanent project financing is secured. Excess proceeds are
the difference between the amount secured in permanent financing and final construction
costs.
• Loan terms: The loan is offered at a maximum 3% simple interest rate (rate may be
lowered if needed to facilitate a permanent financing package), maturing in 55 years.
Page 5 of 6
• Repayment: Loan repayment will be based on residual receipts from the operation of the
project. Eden may retain 40% of annual residual receipts and 60% will be applied toward
repayment of the City loan as well as loans from Alameda County, HCD, and other
project financing sources.
• Use of loan funds: Loan funds must be used to finance the predevelopment,
development, and construction of the Veterans Family Apartments project. The project
must be developed and operated in accordance with the Regulatory Agreement and
Declaration of Restrictive Covenants, the components of which are outlined above.
NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH:
None.

one or more of the exceptions set in 8.68.040 of the Ordinance, which includes land dedication
to the City or City-designated local non-profit housing developer in lieu of the developer's

dedication of land is consistent with the Ordinance's goal of creating housing for very-low, low-
and moderate-income households, (2) the dedicated land is useable for its intended purposes,
is free of toxic substances and contaminated soils, and is fully improved, with infrastructure,
adjacent utilities, grading, and all development-impact fees paid excluding any inclusionary
zoning ordinance fees, and (3) the proposed land dedication is of sufficient size to meet the
requirements set forth in 8.68.040(C)(3). Section 8.68.040 also provides that the City Council

information purposes only, and in no way affect the Owner's and City's rights and obligations
under this Agreement with respect to the Property, regardless of whether any Affordable Unit
Credits are used or applied as recited above. The above recitals also are not intended to

For a term of fifty-five (55) years commencing upon the date of issuance of a final
certificate of occupancy or equivalent for the Development, forty-nine percent (49%) of the
residential units in the Development will be restricted for occupancy by Very Low and Low
Income Households as set forth below (the "Restricted Units"). The City and the Owner
acknowledge that other financing sources for the Development may impose additional
affordability restrictions on the Development.
(a) Seventy-five (75%) of the Restricted Units (i.e., twenty-four (24) units)
shall be rented to and occupied by or, if vacant, available for occupancy by Low Income
Households; and
(b) Twenty-five (25%) of the Restricted Units (i.e., Eight (8) units) shall be
rented to and occupied by, or if vacant, available for occupancy by Very Low Income
Households.
In the event that recertification of tenant incomes indicates that the number of Restricted
Units in the Development actually occupied by Eligible Households falls below the number
reserved for each income group as specified in this Section 2.1, Owner shall rectify the
condition by renting the next available dwelling unit(s) in the Development to Eligible
Household(s) until the required income mix is achieved.
2.2 Affordable Unit Credits.
As set forth in the City's Municipal Code, 12.5% of the total dwelling units within the
Development must be affordable units (eight (8) of the sixty-six (66) units). Because the
Development will include sixty-five (65) affordable units, one affordable unit credit certificate
Dublin Vet RegAgmt
Final Regulatory Agreement I June 2015 Page 5 of 23
shall be issued for each affordable unit constructed in excess of the number of affordable units
required to be constructed for the Development.
Therefore, at the time building permits are issued, fifty-seven (57) affordable unit
credits will be created (Fifty-eight (58) minus one (1) manager's unit). Forty (40) credits will
be issued to the City of Dublin and seventeen (17) credits will be issued to Eden Housing, Inc.
or an affiliate approved by the City. Credits issued to Eden Housing Inc. will remain effective
until all permanent financing for the Development has closed in sufficient amounts to cover all
development and construction costs as shown in the Form 8609 issued by TCAC. Eden
Housing Inc. agrees to notify the City, in writing, when all permanent financing has closed and
the amount of such permanent financing was sufficient to cover the Development's
development and construction costs.
If Eden Housing Inc. proposes to sell affordable unit credit certificates, it shall first obtain
the consent of the City of Dublin Community Development Director, who will document the
transfer by certificate number. If the sale of affordable unit credit certificates is not needed by
Eden Housing Inc. to cover any gap between the permanent financing and the development
and construction costs of the Development, any unused affordable housing credits will revert to
the City.
Except as set forth in this Agreement, all City rules and regulations set forth in Section
6.68.030(D) of the Inclusionary Zoning Regulations pertaining to affordable housing credits
shall apply .
2.3 Rents for Restricted Units.
(a) Low Income Rent. Subject to Section 2.3(e) below, the Rent charged to
Residents of the Low Income Units shall not exceed one-twelfth (1/12`") of thirty percent (30%)
of sixty percent (60%) of Area Median Income, adjusted for Assumed Household Size.
(b) Very Low Income Rent. Subject to Section 2.3(e) below, the Rent charged to
Residents of the Low Income Units shall not exceed one-twelfth (1/12`") of thirty percent (30%)
of fifty percent (50%) of Area Median Income, adjusted for Assumed Household Size.
(c) In calculating the allowable Rent for the Units, Assumed Household Size shall be
the federally-mandated household size assumptions as set forth in federal statutes or
regulations for programs also providing financial assistance to the Development ("Assumed
Household Size").
(d) The Rent may only be increased one time per year (unless otherwise approved
in writing by the City) and the Rent level following an increase, or upon a new occupancy, shall
not exceed the Rent level set forth in subsection a above, as applicable. Households occupying
Units shall be given at least thirty (30) days written notice prior to any increase in the Rent.
(e) It is anticipated that the Development will receive Project-Based Section 8 or
other rental subsidy payments (collectively referred to as the "Rental Subsidies") throughout the
Term. If, during the Term, any change in federal law occurs or any action (or inaction) by
Congress or any federal or State agency, which results in a reduction, termination or
nonrenewal of the Rental Subsidies through no fault of the Owner ("Federal or State Action"),
such that the rental subsidy projected on the approved Financing Plan is no longer available,
Dublin Vet RegAgmt
Final Regulatory Agreement I June 2015 Page 6 of 23
the City shall allow the Developer to increase the rents on one or more of the Very Low Income
Units to Low Income Rents only if and to the extent that the Developer has demonstrated to the
satisfaction of the City Manager that such a rent increase is necessary to maintain the financial
stability of the Development. The Developer shall provide the City Manager with a projected
operating budget for the Development showing the impact of the loss or reduction of the rental
subsidy as well as the last two full years of audited financial statements for the Development
showing actual costs and expenses of operating the Development at the time Developer
requests an increase in the rents. The City Manager shall have authority to approve an increase
in the rents on a sufficient number of Very Low Income Units to a rent not exceeding the Low
Income Rent in order to ensure that the Development generates sufficient income to cover its
operating costs and debt service as shown on the submitted operating budget, provided,
however, any such rent increase shall only be allowed pursuant to a transition plan mutually
agreed upon by the City and Developer consistent with California Tax Credit Allocation
Committee ("TCAC") regulations and only to the extent not otherwise prohibited under the
TCAC Regulatory Agreement or any other regulatory agreement recorded on the
Development. Developer shall make all commercially reasonable efforts to obtain alternative
sources of rental subsidies and shall provide the City with annual progress reports on efforts to
obtain alternative sources of rental subsidies that would allow the rents on the Very Low Income
Units to be reduced to the Very Low Income Rents. Upon receipt of any alternative rental
subsidies, the Developer shall reduce the rents on the units subject to the rent increase to the
Very Low Income Rents to the greatest extent possible.
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if the other
lenders, tax credit investor, or regulatory agencies require stricter household income eligibility
or affordability requirements than those imposed hereby, the requirements of such other
lenders, tax credit investor, or regulatory agencies shall prevail. In meeting all such income and
affordability requirements, the Owner may count each unit at a specific income eligibility level
as meeting the same specific income eligibility level requirement in each of the lender, tax
credit, or regulatory agency regulatory agreements.
(g) 2.4 Increase in Tenant Income.
2.4.1 Increase Above Initial Qualifying Income. If upon recertification of tenant
incomes, Owner determines that the household income of a tenant has increased and exceeds
the income level for a Very Low Income Household, Low Income Household, or other applicable
the applicable income category in which the tenant initially qualified under a regulatory
agreement required by other Development financing, then upon expiration of the tenant's lease:
(i) such tenant's unit shall continue to be considered as a unit in the initial applicable income
category, (ii) upon ninety (90) days' written notice to the Tenant, such tenant's rent may be
increased to an Affordable Rent for the income category for which the tenant qualifies, and (iii)
Owner shall rent the next available residential unit at an Affordable Rent to a household that
qualifies in the income category in which the tenant initially qualified in order to achieve the
affordability requirements of this Agreement.
2.4.2 Non-Qualifying Household. If, upon recertification of tenant incomes,
Owner determines that a tenant's household income has increased to exceed 80% of the Area
Median Income, such tenant shall be permitted to continue to occupy the unit and upon
expiration of the tenant's lease: (i) upon 90 days' written notice, such tenant's rent may be
increased to the lesser of one-twelfth of thirty percent (30%) of the household's actual income
or the fair market rent, (ii) the unit shall continue to be classified as satisfying the income
Dublin Vet RegAgmt
Final Regulatory Agreement I June 2015 Page 7 of 23
category for which the tenant originally qualified, and (iii) when the tenant vacates the unit, the
unit shall be rented at an Affordable Rent to an Eligible Household that qualifies in the income
category for which the former tenant initially qualified in order to achieve the affordability
requirements of this Agreement.
In the event of inconsistency between the provisions of Sections 2.4.1 or 2.4.2 and the
rules applicable to the Project in connection with low-income housing tax credits, tax-exempt
bond financing, or financing or rent subsidies provided to the Project by a federal, State or other
public agency, the rules applicable pursuant to such financing or subsidy source shall prevail.
2.5 Veterans Units. Owner and the City intend for the Development to provide
affordable rental housing for Very Low and Low Income households primarily for Very Low and
Low income Veterans of the United States Armed Forces and their families. Owner shall use its
best efforts to apply for the resources and assistance to provide eligible Veterans and their
families with affordable housing in and services through the Development. Such resources and
assistance include, but are not limited to, applying for rental subsidies and financing specifically
for or targeting Veterans, affirmative marketing which targets Veterans and their families,
contracting with service providers that provide services specifically for or targeted to the needs
of Veterans and their families, and working with the Veterans Administration and other veterans
advocacy groups and organizations in providing such assistance, marketing, and services.
Applications will be ranked in lottery and preference order. Preferences determine the
ranking by which applicants are selected but will not affect an applicant's eligibility. Preference
order will be determined based on a point preference system established by the City for this
Development with priority given to Veterans (the "Points Preference System"). The City shall
provide its point system and preference order to the Owner for incorporation by reference and
attachment as an exhibit to the Management and Marketing Plan. The City's point system and
preference order referenced in and attached to the Management and Marketing Plan will
supersede the points system in section 8.68.050 of the Dublin Municipal Code, and has been
approved as an alternate means of compliance by the City Council pursuant to Dublin Municipal
Code section 8.86.040(E). The point system and preference order shall not apply to applicants
with VASH Vouchers, and shall be subject to the program requirements of Project-Based
Section 8 or other Rental Subsidies.
In addition to the other requirements to be set forth in Management and Marketing Plan
under Section 6.4 below, the Management and Marketing Plan shall include Owner's marketing,
services, and other assistance and programs to fulfill the Owner's and City's intent to operate
the Development primarily for Veterans and their families.
Owner currently anticipates receiving project-based Veteran Affairs Supporting Housing
("VASH") vouchers from the Veterans Administration for a portion of the Units in the
Development, with the understanding that current regulations prohibit VASH vouchers from
being committed to a specific development until the development is ready for marketing.
Owner shall throughout the term of this Agreement apply for project-based VASH vouchers for
the Development as are available and shall rent to homeless or previously homeless Veterans
and their families the number of Units supported by project-based VASH Vouchers. Owner
shall apply for other rental subsidies, funding, and financing that are targeted to or specifically
for Veterans and their families. Nothing in this Section 2.5 shall require Owner to delay the
construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation, financing, refinancing of the Development, the initial
marketing or remarketing of Units in the Development, or occupancy in order to apply for and/or
Dublin Vet RegAgmt
Final Regulatory Agreement I June 2015 Page 8 of 23
obtain VASH vouchers or other rental subsidy, funding, or assistance requiring or allowing for
the rental of Units in the Development for Veterans and their families.
This Section 2.5 is subject to Development financing approved by the City and to fair
housing laws.
2.6 Manager's Unit. One (1) dwelling unit in the Development may be used as
resident manager's units, and shall be exempt from the occupancy and rent restrictions set
forth in this Agreement.
2.7 No Condominium Conversion. Owner shall not convert the Development to
condominium or cooperative ownership or sell condominium or cooperative rights to the
Development or any part thereof during the term of this Agreement.
2.8 Non-Discrimination; Compliance with Fair Housing Laws.
2.8.1 Fair Housing. Owner shall comply with state and federal fair housing
laws in the marketing and rental of the units in the Development. Owner shall accept as
tenants, on the same basis as all other prospective tenants, persons who are recipients of
federal certificates or vouchers for rent subsidies pursuant to the existing Section 8 program or
any successor thereto.
2.8.2 Non-Discrimination. Owner shall not restrict the rental, sale, lease,
sublease, transfer, use, occupancy, tenure or enjoyment of the Property, or any portion thereof,
on the basis of race, color, religion, creed, sex, sexual orientation, disability, marital status,
ancestry, or national origin of any person. Owner covenants for itself and all persons claiming
under or through it, and this Agreement is made and accepted upon and subject to the
condition that there shall be no discrimination against or segregation of any person or group of
persons on account of any basis listed in subdivision (a) or (d) of Section 12955 of the
Government Code, as those bases are defined in Sections 12926, 12926.1, subdivision (m) and
paragraph (1) of subdivision (p) of Section 12955, and Section 12955.2 of the Government
Code in, the sale, lease, sublease, transfer, use, occupancy, tenure or enjoyment of the
Property or part thereof, nor shall Owner or any person claiming under or through Owner
establish or permit any such practice or practices of discrimination or segregation with
reference to the selection, location, number, use or occupancy of tenants, lessees, subtenants,
sublessees or vendees in, of, or for the Property or part thereof. Owner shall include such
provision in all deeds, leases, contracts and other instruments executed by Owner, and shall
enforce the same diligently and in good faith.
3. Reporting Requirements.
3.1 Tenant Certification. Owner or Owner's authorized agent shall obtain from each
household prior to initial occupancy of each Restricted Unit, and on every anniversary
thereafter, a written certificate containing all of the following in such format and with such
supporting documentation as City may reasonably require:
(a) The identity of each household member; and
(b) The total gross household income; and
Dublin Vet RegAgmt
Final Regulatory Agreement I June 2015 Page 9 of 23

the amount chargeable to the Tenant; and (iv) dates of any vacancies during the previous year;
(v) number of people residing in the unit ; (vi) total gross household income of residents; (vii)

typical wait period, and the number and percentage of Veteran households on the waitlist.
Owner shall include with the Annual Report, an income recertification for each household,
documentation verifying tenant eligibility, and such additional information as City may
reasonably request from time to time in order to demonstrate compliance with this Agreement.
The Annual Report shall conform to the format requested by City; provided however, during
such time that the Development is subject to a regulatory agreement restricting occupancy
and/or rents pursuant to requirements imposed in connection with the use of state or federal
low-income housing tax credits or tax-exempt bond financing, Owner may satisfy the
requirements of this Section by providing City with a copy of compliance reports required in
connection with such financing.
Owner shall permit representatives of City to enter and inspect the Property, the
Development, and records, during reasonable business hours in order to monitor compliance
with this Agreement upon forty-eight (48) hours advance notice of such visit to Owner or to
Owner's management agent.
The Development shall be subject to an annual monitoring fee, as adjusted from time to
time pursuant to the City's Master Fee Schedule.
4. Term of Agreement.

anniversary of the issuance of the final certificate of occupancy or equivalent, or the final

Dublin Vet RegAgmt
Final Regulatory Agreement I June 2015 Page 10 of 23
4.3 Reconveyance. Upon the termination of this Agreement, the Parties agree to
execute and record appropriate instruments to release and discharge this Agreement; provided,
however, the execution and recordation of such instruments shall not be necessary or a
prerequisite to the termination of this Agreement upon the expiration of the term as such may
be extended pursuant to Section 4.1.
5. Binding Upon Successors; Covenants to Run with the Land. Owner hereby subjects its
interest in the Property and the Development to the covenants and restrictions set forth in this
Agreement. The City and Owner hereby declare their express intent that the covenants and
restrictions set forth herein shall be deemed covenants running with the land and shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, administrators, executors, successors in
interest, transferees, and assigns of Owner and City, regardless of any sale, assignment,
conveyance or transfer of the Property, the Development or any part thereof or interest therein.
Any successor-in-interest to Owner, including without limitation any purchaser, transferee or
lessee of the Property or the Development (other than the tenants of the individual dwelling
units within the Development) shall be subject to all of the duties and obligations imposed
hereby for the full term of this Agreement. Each and every contract, deed, or other instrument
affecting or conveying the Property or the Development or any part thereof, shall conclusively
be held to have been executed, delivered and accepted subject to the covenants, restrictions,
duties and obligations set forth herein, regardless of whether such covenants, restrictions,
duties and obligations are set forth in such contract, deed, or other instrument. If any such
contract, deed, or other instrument has been executed prior to the date hereof, Owner hereby
covenants to obtain and deliver to City an instrument in recordable form signed by the parties to
such contract, deed, or other instrument pursuant to which such parties acknowledge and
accept this Agreement and agree to be bound hereby.
Owner agrees for itself and for its successors that in the event that a court of competent
jurisdiction determines that the covenants herein do not run with the land, such covenants shall
be enforced as equitable servitudes against the Property and the Development in favor of City.
6. Property Management; Repair and Maintenance; Marketing.
6.1 Management Responsibilities. Owner shall be responsible for all management
functions with respect to the Property and the Development, including without limitation the
selection of tenants, certification and recertification of household income and eligibility,

repairs, replacement of capital items, and security. City shall have no responsibility for
management or maintenance of the Property or the Development.
6.2 Management Entity. City shall have the right to review and approve the
qualifications of the management entity proposed by Owner for the Development. The

primary responsibility for proper performance of management duties. City hereby approves
Eden Housing Management, Inc. as the initial management entity for the Development.
6.3 Repair, Maintenance and Security. Throughout the term of this Agreement, Owner shall
at its own expense, maintain the Property and the Development in good physical condition, in

Dublin Vet RegAgmt
Final Regulatory Agreement I June 2015 Page 11 of 23

or at the Development. Owner shall prevent and/or rectify any physical deterioration of the
Property and the Development and shall make all repairs, renewals and replacements
necessary to keep the Property and the improvements located thereon in good condition and
repair. Owner shall provide adequate security services for occupants of the Development. The

at initial occupancy. Nothing in the proceeding sentence shall require the continued use of a
camera system if the parties agree upon a different or updated security system.

the covenants contained in Section 6.3, and such default continues for a period of ten (10) days
after written notice from City (with respect to graffiti, debris, and waste material) or thirty (30)
days after written notice from City (with respect to landscaping, building improvements and
general maintenance), then City, in addition to any other remedy it may have under this
Agreement or at law or in equity, shall have the right, but not the obligation, to enter upon the
Property and perform all acts and work necessary to protect, maintain, and preserve the
improvements and the landscaped areas on the Property. All costs expended by City in
connection with the foregoing, shall constitute an indebtedness secured by a deed of trust in
favor of the City, which shall be recorded upon the closing of the City Loan (the "Deed of
Trust"), and shall be paid by Owner to City upon demand. All such sums remaining unpaid
thirty (30) days following delivery of City's invoice therefor shall bear interest at the lesser of ten
percent (10%) per annum or the highest rate permitted by applicable law.

Owner shall submit for City review and approval, a plan for managing the Property and
marketing the Project. (the "Management and Marketing Plan"). The Management and
Marketing Plan shall be updated after two (2) years and then again every five (5) years. The
City will provide no less than 90 days' notice to Owner before each Management and Marketing

address how the Owner and the management entity plan to manage and maintain the Property
and the Development. The Management and Marketing Plan shall include the proposed
management agreement and the form of rental agreement that Owner proposes to enter into
with Development tenants. The Management and Marketing Plan shall address in detail how
Owner plans to market the Restricted Units to prospective Eligible Households and targeted
outreach to Veterans in accordance with the City's Inclusionary Zoning Ordinance Regulations,
subject to any City waivers for this Development, fair housing laws and this Agreement,
Owner's tenant selection criteria, and how Owner plans to certify the eligibility of Eligible
Households. The Management and Marketing Plan shall also address Owner's plans
concerning Veterans set forth in Section 2.5 of this Agreement. Owner shall abide by the terms
of the Management and Marketing Plan in marketing, managing, and maintaining the Property
and the Development, and throughout the term of this Agreement, shall submit proposed
modifications to City for review and approval.
Dublin Vet RegAgmt

The Management and Marketing Plan shall also include the following:

(c) Plan to provide on-site programs and services for Veterans and low income
residents.
6.5 Approval of Amendments. If City has not responded to any submission of the

or change to any of the foregoing within forty-five (45) days following City's receipt of such plan,
proposal or amendment, the plan, proposal or amendment shall be deemed approved by City.

fees, assessments, taxes, charges, liens and levies applicable to the Property or the
Development, including without limitation possessory interest taxes, if applicable, imposed by
any public entity, and shall pay such charges prior to delinquency. However, Owner shall not

faith and by appropriate proceedings, (b) Owner maintains reserves adequate to pay any
contested liabilities, and (c) on final determination of the proceeding or contest, Owner
immediately pays or discharges any decision or judgment rendered against it, together with all
costs, charges and interest. The Parties acknowledge that the Owner will apply for exemption
from property tax under Revenue and Taxation Code Section 214.

Owner's expense, maintain in full force and effect insurance coverage as specified in the Deed
of Trust and shall comply with all insurance requirements set forth in the Deed of Trust.

destroyed, Owner shall repair or restore the same, consistent with the occupancy and rent
restriction requirements set forth in this Agreement. Such work shall be commenced as soon
as reasonably practicable after the damage or loss occurs and shall be completed within one
year thereafter or as soon as reasonably practicable, provided that insurance proceeds are
available to be applied to such repairs or restoration within such period and the repair or
restoration is financially feasible. During such time that lenders or low-income housing tax
credit investors providing financing for the Development impose requirements that differ from
the requirements of this Section the requirements of such lenders and investors shall prevail.
7. Recordation; Subordination. This Agreement shall be recorded in the Official Records
of Alameda County. Owner hereby represents, warrants and covenants that with the exception
of easements of record, absent the written consent of City, this Agreement shall not be
subordinated in priority to any lien (other than those pertaining to taxes or assessments),
encumbrance, or other interest in the Property or the Development. If at the time this
Agreement is recorded, any interest, lien, or encumbrance has been recorded against the
Development in position superior to this Agreement, upon the request of City, Owner hereby
covenants and agrees to promptly undertake all action necessary to clear such matter from title
Dublin Vet RegAgmt
Final Regulatory Agreement I June 2015 Page 13 of 23
or to subordinate such interest to this Agreement consistent with the intent of and in
accordance with this Section 7, and to provide such evidence thereof as City may reasonably
request. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the City agrees that City will not withhold consent to
reasonable requests for subordination of this Agreement to deeds of trust provided for the
benefit of lenders identified in the Financing Plan (as defined in the Loan Agreement) as it may
be updated with City approval, provided that the instruments effecting such subordination
include reasonable protections to the City in the event of default, including without limitation,
extended notice and cure rights.
8. Transfer and Encumbrance.
8.1 Restrictions on Transfer and Encumbrance. During the term of this Agreement,
except as permitted pursuant to the Loan Agreement or this Agreement, Owner shall not
directly or indirectly, voluntarily, involuntarily or by operation of law make or attempt any total or
partial sale, transfer, conveyance, assignment or lease (collectively, "Transfer") of the whole or
any part of the Property, the Development, or the improvements located on the Property,
without the prior written consent of the City, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.
In addition, prior to the expiration of the term of this Agreement, except as expressly permitted
by this Agreement or the Loan Agreement, Owner shall not undergo any significant change of
ownership without the prior written approval of City. For purposes of this Agreement, a
"significant change of ownership" shall mean a transfer of the beneficial interest of more than

general partner is a tax-exempt entity under the direct control of or under common control with

provided that the Partnership Agreement and/or the instrument of Transfer provides for
development and operation of the Property and Development in a manner consistent with the
Loan Agreement and this Agreement; (vii) the removal of the general partner by the investor
limited partner for a default under the Partnership Agreement, provided the replacement
general partner is reasonably satisfactory to City; or (viii) the transfer of the General Partner's
interest to a nonprofit entity that is or its member/manager is tax-exempt under Section
501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended, provided such replacement
general partner is reasonably satisfactory to City.
In addition, City shall not withhold its consent to the sale, transfer or other disposition of
the Development, in whole or in part, provided that (a) the Development is and shall continue to

obligations of such transferee; and (d) either (A) the transferee has at least three (3) years'
experience in the ownership, operation and management of low-income multifamily rental
housing projects of similar size to that of the Development, without any record of material
violations of nondiscrimination provisions or other state or federal laws or regulations applicable
to such projects, or (B) the transferee agrees to retain a property management firm with the
experience and record described in subclause (A).
Article VI of the Loan Agreement shall govern procedures applicable to requests for,
and City's approval of, proposed Transfers. Unless waived by City, Owner shall reimburse City
for all City costs, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred in reviewing
instruments and other legal documents proposed to effect a Transfer under this Agreement and
in reviewing the qualifications and financial resources of a proposed successor, assignee, or
transferee within ten (10) days following City's delivery of an invoice detailing such costs.
8.3 Encumbrances. Owner agrees to use best efforts to ensure that any
subordination agreement recorded against the Property, the Development or part thereof for the
benefit of a lender other than City ("Third-Party Lender") shall contain each of the following
provisions: (i) Third-Party Lender shall use its best efforts to provide to City a copy of any
notice of default issued to Owner concurrently with provision of such notice to Owner; (ii) City
shall have the reasonable right, but not the obligation, to cure any default by Owner within the
same period of time provided to Owner for such cure extended by an additional sixty (60) days;

loan documents, City shall have the right to foreclose City's Deed of Trust and take title to the
Development without acceleration of Third-Party Lender's debt; and (iv) City shall have the right
to transfer the Development without acceleration of Third-Party Lender's debt to a nonprofit
corporation or other entity which shall own and operate the Development as an affordable rental
housing project, subject to the prior written consent of the Third-Party Lender. Owner agrees to
provide to City a copy of any notice of default Owner receives from any Third-Party Lender
within three (3) business days following Owner's receipt thereof.
8.4 Mortgagee Protection. No violation of any provision contained herein shall
defeat or render invalid the lien of any mortgage or deed of trust made in good faith and for
value upon all or any portion of the Development or the Property, and the purchaser at any
trustee's sale or foreclosure sale shall not be liable for any violation of any provision hereof
occurring prior to the acquisition of title by such purchaser. Promptly upon determining that a
violation of this Agreement has occurred, City shall give written notice to the holders of record
of any mortgages or deeds of trust encumbering the Development or the Property that such

exercise of any such right, power or privilege by City will preclude any other or
further exercise of such right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other
right, power or privilege. No waiver that may be given by City will be applicable

Note. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Borrower hereby
waives presentment, demand, protest, notices of dishonor and of protest and all
defenses and pleas on the grounds of any extension or extensions of the time of

or after maturity and with or without notice. There shall be no amendment to or

interpretation.
3.7 RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES. The relationship of Borrower and

manner make City the partner or joint venturer of Borrower.
3.8 TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE. Time is of the essence with respect to
every provision of this Note.

PREDEVELOPMENT LOAN AGREEMENT
(Veterans Family Housing Project)
This Predevelopment Loan Agreement (this "Agreement") is entered into
effective as of , 2015 ("Effective Date") by and between the City of Dublin, a
municipal corporation (the "City") and Corona Crescent, Inc., a California nonprofit
public benefit corporation (the "Borrower"). City and Borrower are hereinafter
collectively referred to as the "Parties."
A. Borrower owns that certain real property located at 6707 Golden Gate
Drive, Dublin, California, (APN 941-1500-032-02) as more particularly described in
Exhibit A attached to this Agreement (the "Property").
B. Borrower acquired the Property from BWD Dublin, LLC, an affiliate of Bay
West Development Partners IV LLC, a California limited liability company (the "Market
Rate Developer") who intends to develop a mixed-use project on Market Rate
Developer's adjacent parcel (APN 941-1500-015-09) located at 7544 Dublin Boulevard
in Dublin. Pursuant to that certain "City of Dublin Community Benefit Agreement with
Bay West Development Partners IV LLC" dated October 7, 2014 (the "Community
Benefit Agreement"), the Market Rate Developer transferred the Property to Borrower,
an affordable housing developer, for a nominal sum. The Community Benefit
Agreement involves the Market Rate Developer's provision, pursuant to the Downtown
Dublin Specific Plan, of a Community Benefit in exchange for additional development
potential on its parcel and the Property.
C. The transfer of the Property to the Borrower satisfies the Market Rate
Developer's obligation under the Community Benefit Agreement to transfer the Property
to the City, Borrower, or another similar affordable housing provider. The transfer also
serves to satisfy the Market Rate Developer's affordable housing obligations under the
City's Inclusionary Zoning Regulations. Concurrently with Borrower's acquisition of title
to the Property, the Parties recorded that certain Memorandum of Option Agreement by
Borrower in favor of City recorded on February 13, 2015 as Instrument No, 2015043712
of the Official Records of Alameda County disclosing that Option Agreement between
Borrower and the City dated February 9, 2015 (the "City Option Agreement") under
which City shall have the right to acquire the Property from Borrower if construction of
the affordable housing project is not commenced within the time set for therein.
D. Borrower intends to construct, own and operate on the Property an
affordable multifamily rental housing project consisting of approximately 64 to 72
affordable rental housing units primarily for veterans and their families and other Very
Low and Low income families, one resident manager's unit, and other related
improvements (the "Project"). The residential units in the Project will be rented at
affordable rents to low- and very low- income households as more particularly
described in an Affordable Housing Regulatory Agreement and Declaration of
2437364.1 1
Final Predevelopment Loan Agreement I May 2015
Restrictive Covenants ("Regulatory Agreement") to be recorded against the Property
as set forth herein in Section 1.7.
E. Borrower has requested, and the City has agreed to provide a loan to
Borrower in an amount not to exceed Six Million Four Hundred Thousand Dollars
($6,400,000) (the "Total Approved Loan Amount") to finance a portion of the
predevelopment, development, and construction costs of the Project. One Million Four
Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,400,000) of the Total Approved Loan Amount shall be a
predevelopment loan (the "Predevelopment Loan"), which shall be made, disbursed,
used and repaid in accordance with this Agreement and the predevelopment loan
documents referred to herein. The Total Approved Loan Amount in excess of the
Predevelopment Loan amount undisbursed as of the construction loan closing for the
Development shall be referred to herein as the "Construction Loan Component." The
Total Approved Loan Amount and the predevelopment loan component were approved
by the City Council on November 18, 2014 by Resolution No. 199-14.
F. The disbursement of any amount of the Construction Loan Component
shall require a separate agreement with the City and shall not be disbursed pursuant to
the terms of this Agreement.
G. The City has determined that development of the Project is in the interests
of the health, safety and welfare of the residents of the City, and that the City financing
is necessary to make the Project affordable to Low- and Very Low-Income households.
The City has further determined that provision of financing by City to Borrower for the
purposes described herein is a qualified use of the City Affordable Housing Fund.
NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows.
1. THE PREDEVELOPMENT LOAN AND DISBURSEMENT OF THE
PREDEVELOPMENT LOAN PROCEEDS.
1.1 Loan and Note. Upon the terms and conditions and for the purposes set
forth herein, City agrees to loan to Borrower, and Borrower agrees to borrow from and
repay to City the Predevelopment Loan, a sum in the maximum principal amount of
One Million, Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,400,000).The Predevelopment Loan
shall be evidenced by a promissory note dated as of the Effective Date and executed
by Borrower substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the "Promissory
Note").
As used herein, the term "Predevelopment Loan Documents" means this
Agreement, the Promissory Note, Assignment Agreement (defined below), Deed of
Trust (defined below), Regulatory Agreement (defined below), and City Option
Agreement.
2437364.1 2
Final Predevelopment Loan Agreement I May 2015
Provided that Borrower has complied with all conditions set forth in Section 1.6,
the Predevelopment Loan proceeds shall be disbursed in accordance with Section 1.5
and 1.6 hereof.
1.2 Interest; Maturity Date.
(a) The outstanding principal balance of the Predevelopment Loan
shall bear simple interest at the rate of three percent (3%) per year commencing
from the date of disbursement until paid in full. The outstanding principal
balance of the Predevelopment Loan and any other sums due under the
Predevelopment Note shall be payable in full on the third (3rd) anniversary of the
date of the Promissory Note (the "Maturity Date") unless the term of the
Predevelopment Loan is extended by mutual written agreement of the Parties or
the Predevelopment Loan is forgiven pursuant to the terms hereof; provided,
however, the Parties agree that if the City disburses the Construction Loan
Component, or a portion thereof, prior to the Maturity Date, the outstanding
balance of the Predevelopment Loan shall be repaid with such financing on the
date such financing is provided.
(b) The Parties intend that on the Maturity Date: (i) Borrower (or, if
applicable a limited partnership in which Borrower or other controlled affiliate of
Eden Housing, Inc. serves as general partner) shall execute a 55-year new
promissory note evidencing the obligation to repay the Predevelopment Loan
together with the Construction Loan Component and amount of additional
financing (if any) committed by City for the Project on a residual receipts basis
from Project cash flow; (ii) City shall mark the Predevelopment Note "cancelled"
and shall return the original to Borrower; and (iii) the Parties shall execute and
record an amendment to the Deed of Trust evidencing the additional City
financing as a secured obligation.
(c) Special Prepayment Upon the Closing of the Bank of America DOJ
Loan and Re-loan of Amount Prepaid. Notwithstanding any other provision in
this Agreement or the promissory note evidencing the Predevelopment Loan, the
City shall accept a full or partial prepayment of the Predevelopment Loan with
accrued interest thereon from the proceeds of the $3,000,000 DOJ Loan to be
made to Borrower by Bank of America or an affiliate ("Bank") ("DOJ Loan"),
which DOJ Loan requires full disbursement on or before August 15, 2015 or such
other date as may be required by the Bank or the Department of Justice. The
principal amount of the Predevelopment Loan prepaid with the proceeds of the
DOJ Loan may be re-disbursed to Borrower in accordance with Section 1.5 of
this Agreement with interest accruing on the outstanding principal balance of the
amount re-disbursed from the date of re-disbursement. The principal amount of
the Predevelopment Loan which is undisbursed (originally not disbursed or
disbursed and prepaid) as of the closing of the Construction Loan Component
shall be disbursed in accordance with the disbursement provisions in the
separate construction loan agreement with the City.
2437364.1 3
Final Predevelopment Loan Agreement I May 2015
1.3 Security for the Predevelopment Loan; Subordination; Nonrecourse.
(a) Security. The Predevelopment Note shall be secured by
Borrower's assignment to the City of Borrower's rights to any and all architectural
agreements, contracts, plans, specifications, reports, and studies relating to the
Property or the Project which have been financed with the proceeds of the
Predevelopment Loan ( the "Assignment Agreement") in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit C. The Assignment Agreement may be amended upon City's
request to reflect the additional financing provided pursuant to this Agreement.
Borrower shall execute a deed of trust substantially in the form attached hereto
as Exhibit D (the "Deed of Trust") pursuant to which City shall be provided a
lien against the Property and the improvements to be constructed thereon as
security for repayment of the Promissory Note. The Deed of Trust shall be dated
as of the Effective Date and shall be recorded in the official records of Alameda
County.
(b) Subordination. City agrees to execute, and record at Borrower's
cost, subordination agreements to subordinate the City's Deed of Trust and
Regulatory Agreement (defined in Section 1.7 below) to Borrower's construction
and/or permanent loans for the Project if (A) such construction and/or permanent
financing is provided by (i) the Department of Housing and Community
Development ("HCD"), the California Housing Financing Agency ("CaIHFA"),
HUD, or other public senior lender that requires by statute or regulation that
regulatory agreements with local public entities be subordinated, or (ii) in the
case of tax-exempt bond financing, subordination of the Regulatory Agreements
is required by such financing or Bond Counsel, or (B) (1) the affordable rental
component is financed in part by HUD, Low-Income Housing Tax Credits, or tax-
exempt bond financing and is subject to a recorded regulatory agreement in
connection with such financing, and (2) Borrower demonstrates to City that,
compared to financing available to Borrower if the Deed of Trust and Regulatory
Agreements are subordinated, financing without such subordination will be
offered on materially less favorable terms. In all cases, City shall each be
entitled to receive notice of default and shall each be entitled to cure defaults
arising under the senior documents.
(c) Nonrecourse. Except as expressly provided in this Section 1.3(c),
Borrower shall have no personal liability for payment of the principal of, or
interest on the Promissory Note, and the sole recourse of City with respect to the
payment of the principal of, and interest on, the Promissory Note shall be to the
Property (as defined in the Deed of Trust), the Assigned Documents (as defined
in the Assignment Agreement) and any other collateral held by City as security
for the Promissory Note; provided however, nothing contained in the foregoing
limitation of liability shall:
(1) impair the enforcement against all such security for this Note of all
the rights and remedies of the City under the Deed of Trust, the
Assignment Agreement and any financing statements City files in
2437364.1 4
Final Predevelopment Loan Agreement I May 2015
connection with the Promissory Note, as each of the foregoing may be
amended, modified, or restated from time to time;
(2) impair the right of City to bring a foreclosure action, an action for
specific performance or other appropriate action or proceeding to enable
City to enforce and realize upon the Property under the Deed of Trust, the
Assignment Agreement, the interest in the Assigned Documents created
thereby and any other collateral given to City in connection with the
indebtedness evidenced by the Promissory Note, and to name the
Borrower as party defendant in any such action;
(3) be deemed in any way to impair the right of the City to assert the
unpaid principal amount of the Predevelopment Loan as a demand for
money within the meaning of Section 431.70 of the California Code of
Civil Procedure or any successor provision thereto;
(4) constitute a waiver of any right which City may have under any
bankruptcy law to file a claim for the full amount of the indebtedness owed
to City under the Promissory Note or to require that the Property (as
defined in the Deed of Trust) and the Assigned Documents shall continue
to secure all of the indebtedness owed to City in accordance with the
Promissory Note; or
(5) limit or restrict the ability of City to seek or obtain a judgment
against Borrower to enforce against Borrower to:
(i) recover under Sections 3.2 of this Agreement (pertaining to
Borrower's indemnification obligations), or
(ii) recover from Borrower compensatory damages, as well as
other costs and expenses incurred by City (including without
limitation attorney's fees and expenses) arising as a result of
the occurrence of any of the following:
(a) any fraud or material misrepresentation on the part of
the Borrower, or any officer, director or authorized
representative of Borrower in connection with any
request for Predevelopment Loan proceeds, or
creation of the Predevelopment Loan, or in this
Agreement, the Deed of Trust, the Assignment
Agreement, or in connection with any request for any
action or consent by City in connection with the
Predevelopment Loan or the use of Predevelopment
Loan proceeds;
(b) the material misapplication of Predevelopment Loan
proceeds;
2437364.1 5
Final Predevelopment Loan Agreement May 2015
(c) any failure to maintain insurance on the Property and
the Project as required pursuant to this Agreement;
(d) any failure to pay taxes, assessments or other
charges which may become liens on the Property;
(e) the presence of Hazardous Materials on the Property
or other violation of the Borrower's obligations under
Section 7.10 of the Deed of Trust (pertaining to
environmental matters);
(f) the occurrence of any act or omission of Borrower
that results in waste to or of the Property or the
improvements to be constructed thereon (the
"Improvements") and which has a material adverse
effect on the value of the Property or the
Improvements;
(g) the removal or disposal of any personal property or
fixtures or the retention of rents, insurance proceeds,
or condemnation awards in violation of the Deed of
Trust; and
(h) the material misapplication of the proceeds of any
insurance policy or award resulting from
condemnation or the exercise of the power of eminent
domain or by reason of damage, loss or destruction
to any portion of the Property.
1.4 Use of Predevelopment Loan Proceeds. The Predevelopment Loan
proceeds shall be used solely and exclusively for Predevelopment costs required for the
Project as set forth in the Predevelopment Budget attached hereto as Exhibit E, and
such other costs related to development of the Project as the City may approve in
writing. Predevelopment Loan proceeds shall be disbursed to Borrower on a cost
reimbursement basis in accordance with Section 1.5. Notwithstanding any contrary
provision of this Agreement, disbursements of Predevelopment Loan proceeds
pursuant to this Agreement, shall not exceed the aggregate sum of One Million, Four
Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,400,000).

of payment for services rendered in connection with the Project, Borrower's certification
that the funds requested will be used solely for the purposes described in the

Property or construction of the Project, despite Borrower's commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain such approvals; or
(2) Borrower determines, in its commercially reasonable discretion,
that any (i) remediation work with respect to hazardous materials; or (ii)
construction costs relating to the physical condition of the Property or to
the proposed or required improvements thereon are so expensive or
burdensome as to make the Project, or a required part thereof, financially
infeasible; or

for the development, construction, and operation of the Project, despite
Borrower's commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such financing.
2437364.1 8

City pursuant to Section 3.2 of this Agreement shall survive termination of this
Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the City shall have no obligation to forgive
Borrower's obligation to repay the Predevelopment Loan and cancel the Promissory

Agreement, and performance thereunder will not result in a breach of or
constitute a default under any agreement, indenture or other instrument to which

future of such provision or election nor shall it constitute a waiver of the City's right to
assert any remedy provided for in this Agreement, the Predevelopment Note, the Deed
of Trust, the Regulatory Agreement, or the Assignment Agreement on the basis of the
same or a similar breach of a covenant or warranty or other event of default.

date upon which the holder of any lien has the right to pursue foreclosure
thereof;
(j) A default arises under any loan secured by a mortgage, deed of
trust or other security instrument recorded against the Property and remains

cumulative and not alternative. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default

exercising any of its other rights or remedies.
3. MISCELLANEOUS
3.1. WAIVER; AMENDMENT. No waiver by City of any right or remedy under
this Note shall be effective unless in a writing signed by City. Neither the failure
nor any delay in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Note will
operate as a waiver of such right, power or privilege, and no single or partial
exercise of any such right, power or privilege by City will preclude any other or
further exercise of such right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other
right, power or privilege. No waiver that may be given by City will be applicable
except in the specific instance for which it is given. No notice to or demand on
Borrower will be deemed to be a waiver of any obligation of Borrower or of the
right of City to take further action without notice or demand as provided in this
4
Final Predevelopment Loan Agreement I May 2015 1 Form of Promissory Note Exhibit B
Note. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Borrower hereby
waives presentment, demand, protest, notices of dishonor and of protest and all
defenses and pleas on the grounds of any extension or extensions of the time of
payment or of any due date under this Note, in whole or in part, whether before
or after maturity and with or without notice. There shall be no amendment to or
modification of this Note except by written instrument executed by Borrower and
City.

held invalid or unenforceable.

successors and assigns and shall accrue to the benefit of City and its successors and
assigns.

interpretation.
3.7 RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES. The relationship of Borrower and
City under this Note is solely that of borrower and lender, and the Predevelopment Loan
evidenced by this Note and secured by the Deed of Trust and the Assignment
Agreement will in no manner make City the partner or joint venturer of Borrower.
3.8 TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE. Time is of the essence with respect to
every provision of this Note.
3.9 NON-RECOURSE. Except as expressly provided in this Section 3.9,
Borrower shall have no personal liability for payment of the principal of, or interest on,
this Note, and the sole recourse of City with respect to the payment of the principal of,
and interest on, this Note shall be to the Property (as defined in the Deed of Trust), the

collateral held by City as security for this Note; provided however, nothing contained in

5
Final Predevelopment Loan Agreement I May 2015 1 Form of Promissory Note Exhibit B
(A) impair the enforcement against all such security for this Note of all the
rights and remedies of the City under the Deed of Trust, the Assignment Agreement,
the City Option Agreement, and any financing statements City files in connection with this
Note, as each of the foregoing may be amended, modified, or restated from time to time;
(B) impair the right of City to bring a foreclosure action, an action for specific
performance or other appropriate action or proceeding to enable City to enforce and
realize upon the Property under the Deed of Trust, the Assignment Agreement, the
interest in the Assigned Documents created thereby and any other collateral given to
City in connection with the indebtedness evidenced by this Note, and to name the
Borrower as party defendant in any such action;
(C) be deemed in any way to impair the right of the City to assert the unpaid
principal amount of the Loan as a demand for money within the meaning of Section
431.70 of the California Code of Civil Procedure or any successor provision thereto;
(D) constitute a waiver of any right which City may have under any bankruptcy
law to file a claim for the full amount of the indebtedness owed to City under this Note
or to require that the Property (as defined in the Deed of Trust) and the Assigned
Documents shall continue to secure all of the indebtedness owed to City in accordance
with this Note; or
(E) limit or restrict the ability of City to seek or obtain a judgment against
Borrower to enforce against Borrower to:

Agreement (pertaining to Borrower's indemnification obligations), or

costs and expenses incurred by City (including without limitation attorney's fees
and expenses), arising as a result of the occurrence of any of the following:

Borrower, or any officer, director or authorized representative of Borrower
in connection with any request for Loan Proceeds, or creation of the Loan,
or in the Predevelopment Loan Agreement, the Deed of Trust, the City
Option Agreement, the Assignment Agreement, or in connection with any
request for any action or consent by City in connection with the Loan or
the use of Loan Proceeds;
(b) the material misapplication of Loan Proceeds;

Project as required pursuant to the Predevelopment Loan Agreement;

Trust (pertaining to environmental matters);
(f) the occurrence of any act or omission of Borrower that results
in waste to or of the Property or the improvements to be constructed
thereon (the "Improvements") and which has a material adverse effect on
the value of the Property or the Improvements;
(g) the removal or disposal of any personal property or fixtures or
the retention of rents, insurance proceeds, or condemnation awards in
violation of the Deed of Trust; and

For valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows.
1. Developer hereby assigns to City and grants to City a security interest in
all of its right, title and interest in and to the contracts and agreements listed in Exhibit A
attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, and all of the items listed in the
following paragraphs (A), (B) and (C). All of the foregoing are collectively hereafter
referred to as the "Assigned Documents".

architect, engineer, analyst, contractor or other person or entity
("Contractor") in connection with the preparation of plans, specifications,
studies, analyses, drawings or any other similar service related to the
Property, the Project, or the improvements existing or to be installed or
constructed on the Property (the "Improvements");
(B) All reports, analyses, studies, plans and specifications, shop drawings,

2. This Agreement is entered into pursuant to that certain Predevelopment

1
Final Predevelopment Loan Agreement I May 2015 1 Form of Assignment Agreement Exhibit C

pursuant to the Predevelopment Loan Agreement, Developer shall repay the funds
advanced by the City pursuant to the Predevelopment Loan Agreement.
3. This Agreement is made to secure: (a) payment to the City of all sums

additional advances, modifications, extensions, renewals and amendments thereof; and

Predevelopment Loan Agreement.
4. Developer hereby irrevocably appoints City as its attorney-in-fact (which
City is coupled with an interest) upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under the
Predevelopment Loan Agreement, to demand, receive, and enforce any and all of such
Developer's rights with respect to the Assigned Documents, and to perform any and all
acts in the name of such Developer or in the name of the City with the same force and

its respective rights or interest in or to any of the Assigned Documents has been made.

encumbrance contained in the Predevelopment Loan Agreement.
8. Unless an Event of Default (as defined in the Predevelopment Loan
Agreement) shall have occurred, Developer shall be entitled (subject to the provisions of
Section 6 above) to enjoy and enforce all of its rights under the Assigned Documents. If
such an Event of Default occurs and City gives written notice to any Contractor who is a
party to any Assigned Document referring to this Agreement and stating that such an
Event of Developer Default has occurred and that City intends to exercise its rights
hereunder (an "Exercise Notice"), then City shall be entitled thereafter to enjoy and
enforce all of the rights of Developer under such Assigned Document and shall become
bound to perform all future obligations of Developer thereunder, it being understood that
in no event shall City be liable for payments or costs relating to any work which any
2
Final Predevelopment Loan Agreement I May 2015 1 Form of Assignment Agreement Exhibit C
Contractor has performed prior to the date of City's delivery of such Exercise Notice.
Unless and until such Exercise Notice is given, City shall not be obliged to perform any
of the obligations of Developer under the Assigned Documents.
9. Developer represents and warrants that to the best of its knowledge after
reasonable inquiry, there are no defaults under any Assigned Document by any party
thereto.
10. Developer further represents and warrants that all sums due and owing to
any Contractor to date under any Assigned Document have been duly paid in full,
except to the extent deferral of such sums is allowed pursuant to such Assigned
Document.
11. City may assign its rights under this Agreement, and the Assigned
Documents, and the rights and obligations of any assignee of City shall be the same as
provided herein as to City and Contractor. City may, in its discretion, make any such
assignment to a third party, with the consent of the Contractor who is a party to such
Assigned Documents, provided such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed.
12. This Agreement shall not be deemed to release or affect in any way the
obligations of Developer to any Contractor under the Assigned Documents.
13. Developer is executing this Agreement to induce City to enter into and
disburse funds pursuant to the Predevelopment Loan Agreement, and Developer
understands that City would not do so but for the execution and delivery of this
Agreement by Developer.

Exhibit B
CONSENT
This Consent ("Consent") is executed effective as of 20_,
pursuant to that certain Assignment of Agreements, Plans and Specifications
("Assignment Agreement") executed by and between Corona Crescent, Inc., a
California nonprofit public benefit corporation ("Developer") and the City of Dublin, a
municipal corporation ("City") dated as of , 20_. Unless otherwise
defined herein, capitalized terms used in this Consent shall have the meanings given
them in the Assignment Agreement.
The undersigned architect, engineer, contractor and/or Contractor ("Contractor")
hereby consents to the Assignment Agreement and the assignments contemplated
thereby, and hereby waives all provisions in the Assigned Documents to which
Contractor is a party which would impair, hinder or prevent the making of any such
assignment by Developer to City or the enforcement thereof by City.
Contractor agrees that if at any time, the City shall, pursuant to its rights under
the Assignment Agreement, deliver an Exercise Notice to Contractor, then provided that
Contractor has received, receives or continues to receive the compensation called for
under the Assigned Documents to which Contractor is a party, the City may, at its
option, use and rely upon the Assigned Documents for the purposes for which they
were prepared, and Contractor will continue to perform its obligations under the
Assigned Documents to which Contractor is a party for the benefit and account of the
City in the same manner as if performed for the benefit or account of Developer in the
absence of the Assignment Agreement. Contractor agrees that it shall rely conclusively
upon any Exercise Notice given to Contractor by City, and Contractor agrees to be
bound by such Exercise Notice.
By its execution of this Consent, Contractor agrees to look solely to Developer
and its successors in interest for performance of Developer's obligations under the
Assigned Documents to which Contractor is a party unless and until Contractor shall
have received an Exercise Notice from City.
Contractor agrees that, after the occurrence of an Event of Developer Default
under the Predevelopment Loan Agreement and the giving of an Exercise Notice by
City, Contractor will perform all of its obligations under the Assigned Documents to
which Contractor is a party, City being liable to pay the costs thereof relating to any
services performed at the direction of City after the giving of the Exercise Notice.
However, City is not and will in no event become liable for any costs, charges,
expenses and liabilities incurred under the Assigned Documents or otherwise unless it
has given the Exercise Notice (and, if it has given the Exercise Notice, City will not
become liable for any such costs, charges or expenses incurred prior to the giving of
such Exercise Notice), and the fact that Developer may not have paid and/or may be
8
Final Predevelopment Loan Agreement I May 2015 1 Form of Assignment Agreement Exhibit C
unable to pay any such costs, charges, expenses or liabilities may not be asserted by
Contractor as a defense to its obligations to perform services for City as set forth herein.
Contractor agrees that, notwithstanding anything hereinabove contained or
contained in the Assigned Documents to the contrary, City will have the right to receive
and to use (without cost to City) any and all Assigned Documents relating to the
Property, the Project or the Improvements, as the same may be amended or modified
from time to time, which Contractor may own or have the right to use and to grant others
the right to use. Contractor further agrees that, upon the written request of City
(whether or not any Event of Developer Default has occurred), it will execute and deliver
a certification confirming City's rights with respect to such Assigned Documents as City
from time to time may reasonably request.
Contractor agrees that for so long as the Assignment Agreement is effective, if
Developer defaults in making any required payment or in performing any other
obligation under any Assigned Document to which Contractor is a party, Contractor
shall give prompt written notice thereof to City. Unless and until such notice is given to
City, and for a period of 15 business days thereafter, Contractor shall not exercise any
of its rights or remedies against Developer under the Assigned Documents (including,
without limitation, the right to terminate any Assigned Document or to stop work
thereunder). After such notice is given and for a period of 15 business days thereafter,
City may, at its option, cure (but shall have no obligation to cure) any such default by
Developer and, if such default is so cured during such notice period, Contractor shall
continue performance under the Assigned Documents to which such Contractor is a
party.
Contractor represents and warrants that (i) the Assigned Documents to which
Contractor is a party are in full force and effect, and to Contractor's knowledge there are
no defaults thereunder by any party thereto; (ii) Contractor has made no assignment of
any Assigned Document to which Contractor is a party or of its rights thereunder (other
than to City); and (iii) there presently exists no unpaid claims presently due to
Contractor, except as disclosed in writing to the City, arising in connection with the
performance of Contractor's obligations under the Assigned Documents to which
Contractor is a party. Contractor agrees that for so long as the Assignment Agreement
is effective, Contractor shall not assign its rights or interest in any of the Assigned
Documents (absent the prior written consent of City) to any entity other than a lender
whose loan is secured by the Property, the Project or the Improvements with the prior
written approval of the City.

payment and performance of the following (collectively, the "Secured Obligations")- (i)
all present and future indebtedness evidenced by the Note and any amendment and/or
restatement thereof, including principal, interest and all other amounts payable under
the terms of the Note; (ii) all present and future obligations of Trustor to Beneficiary

presently and unconditionally assigns to Beneficiary the Rents, royalties, issues, profits,
revenue, income and proceeds of the Property. This is an absolute assignment and not
an assignment for security only. Beneficiary hereby confers upon Trustor a license to
collect and retain such Rents, royalties, issues, profits, revenue, income and proceeds
as they become due and payable prior to any Event of Default hereunder. Upon the
occurrence of any such Event of Default, Beneficiary may terminate such license
without notice to or demand upon Trustor and without regard to the adequacy of any
3
Final Predevelopment Loan Agreement I May 2015 1 Form of Deed of Trust Exhibit D
security for the indebtedness hereby secured, and may either in person, by agent, or by
a receiver to be appointed by a court, enter upon and take possession of the Property or
any part thereof, and sue for or otherwise collect such rents, issues, and profits,
including those past due and unpaid, and apply the same, less costs and expenses of
operation and collection, including reasonable attorneys' fees, to any indebtedness
secured hereby, and in such order as Beneficiary may determine. Beneficiary's right to
the rents, royalties, issues, profits, revenue, income and proceeds of the Property does
not depend upon whether or not Beneficiary takes possession of the Property. The
entering upon and taking possession of the Property, the collection of such rents,
issues, and profits, and the application thereof as aforesaid, shall not cure or waive any
default or notice of default hereunder or invalidate any act done pursuant to such notice.
If an Event of Default occurs while Beneficiary is in possession of all or part of the
Property and/or is collecting and applying Rents as permitted under this Deed of Trust,
Beneficiary, Trustee and any receiver shall nevertheless be entitled to exercise and
invoke every right and remedy afforded any of them under this Deed of Trust and at law
or in equity, including the right to exercise the power of sale granted hereunder.
Regardless of whether or not Beneficiary, in person or by agent, takes actual
possession of the Land or the Improvements, Beneficiary shall not be deemed to be a
"mortgagee in possession," shall not be responsible for performing any obligation of
Trustor under any Lease, shall not be liable in any manner for the Property, or the use,
occupancy, enjoyment or operation of any part of it unless due to the willful misconduct
or gross negligence of Beneficiary„ and shall not be responsible for any waste
committed by Trustor, lessees or any third parties, or for dangerous or defective
condition of the Property or any negligence in the management, repair or control of the
Property. Absent Beneficiary's written consent, Trustor shall not accept prepayment of
Rents for any rental period exceeding one month.
4. Security Agreement. The parties intend for this Deed of Trust to create a lien on
the Property, and an absolute assignment of the Rents and Leases, all in favor of
Beneficiary. The parties acknowledge that some of the Property may be determined
under applicable law to be personal property or fixtures. To the extent that any Property
may be or be determined to be personal property, Trustor as debtor hereby grants to
Beneficiary as secured party a security interest in all such Property to secure payment
and performance of the Secured Obligations. This Deed of Trust constitutes a security
agreement under the California Uniform Commercial Code, as amended or recodified
from time to time (the "UCC"), covering all such Property. To the extent such Property
is not real property encumbered by the lien granted above, and is not absolutely
assigned by the assignment set forth above, it is the intention of the parties that such
Property shall constitute "proceeds, products, offspring, rents, or profits" (as defined in
and for the purposes of Section 552(b) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, as such
section may be modified or supplemented) of the Land and Improvements.
5. Financing Statements. Pursuant to the UCC, Trustor, as debtor, hereby
authorizes Beneficiary, as secured party, to file such financing statements and
amendments thereof and such continuation statements with respect thereto as
Beneficiary may deem appropriate to perfect and preserve Beneficiary's security interest
4
Final Predevelopment Loan Agreement I May 2015 1 Form of Deed of Trust Exhibit D
in the Property and Rents, without requiring any signature or further authorization by
Trustor. If requested by Beneficiary, Trustor shall pay all fees and costs that Beneficiary
may incur in filing such documents in public offices and in obtaining such record
searches as Beneficiary may reasonably require. If any financing statement or other
document is filed in the records normally pertaining to personal property, that filing shall
not be construed as in any way derogating from or impairing this Deed of Trust or the
rights or obligations of the parties under it.
Everything used in connection with the Property and/or adapted for use therein and/or
which is described or reflected in this Deed of Trust is, and at all times and for all
purposes and in all proceedings both legal or equitable shall be regarded as part of the
estate encumbered by this Deed of Trust irrespective of whether (i) any such item is
physically attached to the Improvements, (ii) serial numbers are used for the better
identification of certain equipment items capable of being thus identified in a recital
contained herein or in any list filed with Beneficiary, or (iii) any such item is referred to or
reflected in any such financing statement so filed at any time. Similarly, the mention in
any such financing statement of (1) rights in or to the proceeds of any fire and/or hazard
insurance policy, or (2) any award in eminent domain proceedings for a taking or for
lessening of value, or (3) Trustor's interest as lessor in any present or future lease or
rights to income growing out of the use and/or occupancy of the property conveyed
hereby, whether pursuant to lease or otherwise, shall not be construed as in any way
altering any of the rights of Beneficiary as determined by this instrument or impugning
the priority of Beneficiary's lien granted hereby or by any other recorded document.
Such mention in any financing statement is declared to be solely for the protection of
Beneficiary in the event any court or judge shall at any time hold, with respect to the
matters set forth in the foregoing clauses (1), (2), and (3), that notice of Beneficiary's
priority of interest is required in order to be effective against a particular class of
persons, including but not limited to the federal government and any subdivisions or
entity of the federal government.
6. Fixture Filing. This Deed of Trust is intended to be and constitutes a fixture filing
pursuant to the provisions of the UCC with respect to all of the Property constituting
fixtures, is being recorded as a fixture financing statement and filing under the UCC,
and covers property, goods and equipment which are or are to become fixtures related
to the Land and the Improvements. Trustor covenants and agrees that this Deed of
Trust is to be filed in the real estate records of Alameda County and shall also operate
from the date of such filing as a fixture filing in accordance with Section 9502 and other
applicable provisions of the UCC. This Deed of Trust shall also be effective as a
financing statement covering minerals or the like (including oil and gas) and accounts
subject to the UCC, as amended. Trustor shall be deemed to be the "debtor" and
Beneficiary shall be deemed to be the "secured party" for all purposes under the UCC.

charge affecting the Property by appropriate legal proceedings promptly initiated and
conducted in good faith and with due diligence, provided that (i) Beneficiary is
reasonably satisfied that neither the Property nor any part thereof or interest therein will
be in danger of being sold, forfeited, or lost as a result of such contest, and (ii) Trustor
shall have posted a bond or furnished other security as may reasonably be required
from time to time by Beneficiary; and provided further that Trustor shall timely make any
payment necessary to prevent a lien foreclosure, sale, forfeiture or loss of the Property.
7.9 Subrogation. Beneficiary shall be subrogated to the liens of all
encumbrances, whether released of record or not, which are discharged in whole or in
part by Beneficiary in accordance with this Deed of Trust.
7.10 Hazard, Liability and Workers' Compensation Insurance. At all times
during the term hereof, at Trustor's expense, Trustor shall keep the Improvements and
personal property now existing or hereafter located on the Property insured against loss
by fire, vandalism and malicious mischief by a policy of standard fire and extended all-
risk insurance. The policy shall be written on a full replacement value basis and shall
name Beneficiary as loss payee as its interest may appear. The full replacement value
of the improvements to be insured shall be determined by the company issuing the
policy at the time the policy is initially obtained. Not more frequently than once every
two (2) years, either the Trustor or the Beneficiary shall have the right to notify the other
party that it elects to have the replacement value redetermined by the insurance
company. Subject to the rights of any senior lienholder, the proceeds collected under
any insurance policy may be applied by Beneficiary to any indebtedness secured
hereby and in such order as Beneficiary may determine, or at the option of Beneficiary,
the entire amount so collected or any part thereof may be released to Trustor. Such
application or release shall not cure or waive any default or notice of default hereunder
or invalidate any act done pursuant to such notice. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary set forth herein, provided that Trustor is not in default under any Loan
Document, Trustor shall be permitted to use the proceeds of insurance to rebuild the
Improvements.
7.10.1 Trustor shall at all times during the term hereof, maintain a
comprehensive general liability insurance policy in an amount not less than One Million
Dollars ($1,000,000) each occurrence, Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) annual
aggregate, together with Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) excess liability coverage or
such other policy limits as Agency may require in its reasonable discretion, including
coverage for bodily injury, property damage, products, completed operations and
contractual liability coverage. Such policy or policies shall be written on an occurrence
basis and shall name the Beneficiary as an additional insured. Trustor shall maintain
workers' compensation insurance as required by law.
8
Final Predevelopment Loan Agreement I May 2015 1 Form of Deed of Trust Exhibit D
7.10.2 Trustor shall file with Beneficiary prior to the commencement of the
term hereof, certificates (or such other proof as Beneficiary may require, including
without limitation, copies of the required insurance policies) evidencing each of the
insurance policies and endorsements thereto as required by this Section, and such
certificates (or policies) shall provide that at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice
shall be provided to Beneficiary prior to the expiration, cancellation or change in
coverage under each such policy.
7.10.3 If any insurance policy required hereunder is canceled or the
coverage provided thereunder is reduced, Trustor shall, within fifteen (15) days after
receipt of written notice of such cancellation or reduction in coverage, but in no event
later than the effective date of cancellation or reduction, file with Beneficiary a
certificate showing that the required insurance has been reinstated or provided through
another insurance company or companies. Upon failure to so file such certificate,
Beneficiary may, without further notice and at its option, procure such insurance
coverage at Trustor's expense, and Trustor shall promptly reimburse Beneficiary for
such expense upon receipt of billing from Beneficiary.
7.10.4 The insurance policies required hereunder shall be issued by
insurance companies authorized to do business in the State of California with a financial
rating of at least A VII status as rated in the most recent edition of Best's Key Rating
Guide. Each policy of insurance shall contain an endorsement requiring the insurer to
provide at least thirty (30) days written notice to Beneficiary prior to change in coverage,
cancellation or expiration thereof. If any insurance policy required pursuant to the Loan
Documents is canceled or the coverage provided thereunder is reduced, Trustor shall,
within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice of such cancellation or reduction in
coverage, but in no event later than the effective date of cancellation or reduction, file
with Beneficiary a certificate showing that the required insurance has been reinstated or
provided through another insurance company or companies. Upon failure to so file
such certificate, Beneficiary may, without further notice and at its option, procure such
insurance coverage at Trustor's expense, and Trustor shall promptly reimburse
Beneficiary for such expense upon receipt of billing from Beneficiary.
7.11 Hazardous Materials. Trustor represents and warrants that except as
disclosed to Beneficiary in writing, as of the date hereof to the best knowledge of
Trustor: (i) the Land is free and has always been free of Hazardous Materials (as
defined below) and is not and has never been in violation of any Environmental Law (as
defined below); (ii) there are no buried or partially buried storage tanks located on the
Land; (iii) Trustor has received no notice, warning, notice of violation, administrative
complaint, judicial complaint, or other formal or informal notice alleging that conditions
on the Land are or have ever been in violation of any Environmental Law or informing
Trustor that the Land is subject to investigation or inquiry regarding Hazardous
Materials on the Land or the potential violation of any Environmental Law; (iv) there is
no monitoring program required by the Environmental Protection Agency or any other
governmental agency concerning the Land; (v) no toxic or hazardous chemicals, waste,
or substances of any kind have ever been spilled, disposed of, or stored on, under or at

holding areas, or any other means; (vi) the Land has never been used as a dump or
landfill; and (vii) Trustor has disclosed to Beneficiary all information, records, and
studies in Trustor's possession or reasonably available to Trustor relating to the Land
concerning Hazardous Materials.
Trustor shall not cause or permit any Hazardous Material (as defined below) to
be brought upon, kept, stored or used in, on, under, or about the Land by Trustor, its
agents, employees, contractors or invitees except for incidental supplies ordinarily used
in connection with the construction, rehabilitation, repair, and operation of residential
developments and in compliance with all applicable laws, and shall not cause any
release of Hazardous Materials into, onto, under or through the Land. If any Hazardous
Material is discharged, released, dumped, or spilled in, on, under, or about the Land and
results in any contamination of the Land or adjacent property, or otherwise results in the
release or discharge of Hazardous Materials in, on, under or from the Land, Trustor shall
promptly take all actions at its sole expense as are necessary to comply with all
Environmental Laws (as defined below).
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Trustor shall indemnify, defend (with
counsel reasonably acceptable to Beneficiary), and hold Beneficiary and its elected and
appointed officials, officers, agents and employees (collectively, "Indemnitees")
harmless from and against any and all loss, claim, liability, damage, demand, judgment,
order, penalty, fine, injunctive or other relief, cost, expense (including reasonable fees
and expenses of attorneys, expert witnesses, and other professionals advising or
assisting Beneficiary), action, or cause of action (all of the foregoing, hereafter
individually "Claim" and collectively "Claims") arising in connection with the breach of
Trustor's covenants and obligations set forth in this Section 7.11 or otherwise arising in
connection with the presence or release of Hazardous Materials in, on, under, or from
the Property. The foregoing indemnity includes, without limitation, all costs of
investigation, assessment, containment, removal, remediation of any kind, and disposal
of Hazardous Materials, all costs of determining whether the Land is in compliance with
Environmental Laws, all costs associated with bringing the Land into compliance with all
applicable Environmental Laws, and all costs associated with claims for damages or
injury to persons, property, or natural resources.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Trustor shall, at Trustor's own cost
and expense, do all of the following:
a. pay or satisfy any judgment or decree that may be entered against any
Indemnitee or Indemnitees in any legal or administrative proceeding incident to any
matters against which Indemnitees are entitled to be indemnified under this Deed of
Trust;
b. reimburse Indemnitees for any expenses paid or incurred in connection
with any matters against which Indemnitees are entitled to be indemnified under this
Deed of Trust; and
10
Final Predevelopment Loan Agreement I May 2015 1 Form of Deed of Trust Exhibit D
C. reimburse Indemnitees for any and all expenses, including without
limitation out-of-pocket expenses and fees of attorneys and expert witnesses, paid or
incurred in connection with the enforcement by Indemnitees of their rights under this
Deed of Trust, or in monitoring and participating in any legal or administrative
proceeding.
Trustor's obligation to indemnify the Indemnitees shall not be limited or impaired
by any of the following, or by any failure of Trustor to receive notice of or consideration
for any of the following: (i) any amendment or modification of any Loan Document; (ii)
any extensions of time for performance required by any Loan Document; (iii) any
provision in any of the Loan Documents limiting Beneficiary's recourse to property
securing the Secured Obligations, or limiting the personal liability of Trustor, or any
other party for payment of all or any part of the Secured Obligations; (iv) the accuracy or
inaccuracy of any representation and warranty made by Trustor under this Deed of
Trust or by Trustor or any other party under any Loan Document, (v) the release of
Trustor or any other person, by Beneficiary or by operation of law, from performance of
any obligation under any Loan Document; (vi) the release or substitution in whole or in
part of any security for the Secured Obligations; and (vii) Beneficiary's failure to properly
perfect any lien or security interest given as security for the Secured Obligations.
The provisions of this Section 7.11 shall be in addition to any and all other
obligations and liabilities that Trustor may have under applicable law, and each
Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification under this Section without regard to
whether Beneficiary or that Indemnitee has exercised any rights against the Property or
any other security, pursued any rights against any guarantor or other party, or pursued
any other rights available under the Loan Documents or applicable law. The obligations
of Trustor to indemnify the Indemnitees under this Section shall survive any repayment
or discharge of the Secured Obligations, any foreclosure proceeding, any foreclosure
sale, any delivery of any deed in lieu of foreclosure, and any release of record of the lien
of this Deed of Trust.
Without limiting any of the remedies provided in this Deed of Trust, Trustor
acknowledges and agrees that each of the provisions in this Section 7.11 is an
environmental provision (as defined in Section 736(f)(2) of the California Code of Civil
Procedure) made by Trustor relating to real property security (the "Environmental
Provisions"), and that Trustor's failure to comply with any of the Environmental
Provisions will be a breach of contract that will entitle Beneficiary to pursue the
remedies provided by Section 736 of the California Code of Civil Procedure ("Section
736") for the recovery of damages and for the enforcement of the Environmental
Provisions. Pursuant to Section 736, Beneficiary's action for recovery of damages or
enforcement of the Environmental Provisions shall not constitute an action within the
meaning of Section 726(a) of the California Code of Civil Procedure or constitute a
money judgment for a deficiency or a deficiency judgment within the meaning of
Sections 580a, 580b, 580d, or 726(b) of the California Code of Civil Procedure.

foreclosure of mortgages on real property and/or to obtain specific enforcement of any
of the covenants or agreements of this Deed of Trust.
f. Power of Sale. Under the power of sale hereby granted,
Beneficiary shall have the discretionary right to cause some or all of the Property,
including any Property which constitutes personal property, to be sold or otherwise
disposed of in any combination and in any manner permitted by applicable law.
8.3 Power of Sale. If Beneficiary elects to invoke the power of sale hereby
granted, Beneficiary shall execute or cause the Trustee to execute a written notice of
such default and of its election to cause the Property to be sold to satisfy the obligations
hereof, and shall cause such notice to be recorded in the office of the Recorder of each
County wherein the Property or some part thereof is situated as required by law and this
Deed of Trust.
Prior to publication of the notice of sale, Beneficiary shall deliver to Trustee this
Deed of Trust and the Note or other evidence of indebtedness which is secured hereby,
together with a written request for the Trustee to proceed with a sale of the Property,
pursuant to the provisions of law and this Deed of Trust.
Notice of sale having been given as then required by law, and not less than the
time then required by law having elapsed after recordation of such notice of default,
Trustee, without demand on Trustor, shall sell the Property at the time and place fixed
by it in the notice of sale, either as a whole or in separate parcels and in such order as it
may determine, at public auction to the highest bidder for cash in lawful money of the
United States, payable at time of sale. Trustee may, and at Beneficiary's request shall,
postpone sale of all or any portion of the Property by public announcement at such time
and place of sale, and from time to time thereafter may postpone such sale by public
announcement at the time and place fixed by the preceding postponement. Trustee
18
Final Predevelopment Loan Agreement I May 2015 1 Form of Deed of Trust Exhibit D
shall deliver to the purchaser its deed conveying the property so sold, but without any
covenant or warranty, express or implied. The recitals in such deed of any matters or
facts shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof. Any person, including Trustor,
Trustee, or Beneficiary, may purchase at such sale.
After deducting all costs, fees, and expenses of Trustee and of the trust hereby
created, including reasonable attorneys' fees in connection with sale, Trustee shall
apply the proceeds of sale to payment of all sums advanced or expended by Beneficiary
or Trustee under the terms hereof and all outstanding sums then secured hereby, and
the remainder, if any, to the person or persons legally entitled thereto.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Trustor acknowledges and agrees
that regardless of whether or not a default has occurred hereunder, if an Event of
Default has occurred under the Loan Documents, and if in connection with such Event
of Default Beneficiary exercises its right to foreclose on the Property, then: (i)
Beneficiary shall be entitled to declare all amounts due under the Note immediately due
and payable, and (ii) the proceeds of any sale of the Property in connection with such
foreclosure shall be used to pay all Secured Obligations, including without limitation, the
outstanding principal balance and all other amounts due under the Note.
At any foreclosure sale, any person, including Trustor, Trustee or Beneficiary,
may bid for and acquire the Property or any part of it to the extent permitted by then
applicable law. Instead of paying cash for such property, Beneficiary may settle for the
purchase price by crediting the sales price of the property against the following
obligations:
a. First, the portion of the Secured Obligations attributable to the
expenses of sale, costs of any action and any other sums for which Trustor is obligated
to pay or reimburse Beneficiary or Trustee under Section 7.12(c); and
b. Second, the remaining balance of all other Secured Obligations in
any order and proportions as Beneficiary in its sole discretion may choose.
8.4 Trustor's Right to Reinstate. Notwithstanding Beneficiary's acceleration of
the sums secured by this Deed of Trust, Trustor shall have the right to have any
proceedings begun by Beneficiary to enforce this Deed of Trust discontinued at any
time prior to five days before sale of the Property pursuant to the power of sale
contained in this Deed of Trust or at any time prior to entry of a judgment enforcing this
Deed of Trust if: (a) Trustor pays Beneficiary all sums which would be then due under
the Loan Documents if the Secured Obligations had no acceleration provision; (b)
Trustor cures all breaches of any other covenants or agreements of Trustor contained in
this Deed of Trust; (c) Trustor pays all reasonable expenses incurred by Beneficiary and
Trustee in enforcing the covenants and agreements of Trustor contained in this Deed of
Trust, and in enforcing Beneficiary's and Trustee's remedies as provided herein,
including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney's fees; and (d) Trustor takes such
action as Beneficiary may reasonably require to assure that the lien of this Deed of
Trust, Beneficiary's interest in the Property and Trustor's obligation to pay the sums
19
Final Predevelopment Loan Agreement I May 2015 1 Form of Deed of Trust Exhibit D
secured by this Deed of Trust shall continue unimpaired. Upon such payment and cure
by Trustor, this Deed of Trust and the obligations secured hereby shall remain in full
force and effect as if no acceleration had occurred..
9. Trustor's Waivers. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Trustor waives: (a) all
statutes of limitations as a defense to any action or proceeding brought against Trustor
by Beneficiary; (b) the benefit of all laws now existing or which may hereafter be
enacted providing for any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, redemption or
moratorium; (c) all rights of marshalling in the event of foreclosure; and (d) all
presentments, demands for performance, notices of nonperformance, protests, notices
of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of acceptance of this Deed of Trust and of the
existence, creation, or incurring of new or additional indebtedness, and demands and
notices of every kind.

Beneficiary and contain further agreements and affirmative and negative covenants by
Trustor which apply to this Deed of Trust and the Property.

sale be mailed to Trustor at the address set forth below. That address is also the
mailing address of Trustor as debtor under the UCC. Beneficiary's address set forth

Section 7.6.
10.4 Substitution of Trustee. Beneficiary may from time to time or at any time
substitute a trustee or trustees to execute the trust hereby created, and when any such
substitution has been filed for record in the office of the Recorder of Alameda County, it

new trustee or trustees shall succeed to all of the powers and duties of the Trustee

Deed of Trust or to enforce any right of Beneficiary or of Trustee, Trustor shall pay to
Beneficiary and Trustee all costs of such action or proceeding, including reasonable
attorneys' fees.
10.6 Governing Law; Severability; Interpretation. This Deed of Trust shall be
governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to principles of conflicts of
laws. Trustor agrees that any controversy arising under or in relation to this Deed of
Trust shall be litigated exclusively in the jurisdiction where the Land is located (the
"Property Jurisdiction"). The state and federal courts and authorities with jurisdiction in
the Property Jurisdiction shall have exclusive jurisdiction over all controversies which
shall arise under or in relation to the Loan Documents. Trustor irrevocably consents to
service, jurisdiction, and venue of such courts for any such litigation, and waives any
other venue to which it might be entitled by virtue of domicile, habitual residence or
otherwise. If any provision of this Deed of Trust is held unenforceable or void, that
provision shall be deemed severable from the remaining provisions, and shall in no way

21

other or subsequent act or omission or to waive the requirement for Beneficiary's or
Trustee's consent to be obtained in any future or other instance. No amendment to or
modification of this Deed of Trust shall be effective unless and until such amendment or
modification is in writing, executed by Trustor and Beneficiary. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, Beneficiary's acceptance of payment of any sum secured
hereby after its due date shall not constitute a waiver by Beneficiary of its right either to
require prompt payment when due of all other sums so secured or to declare default for
failure so to pay.
10.8 Action by Beneficiary. Except as may be otherwise specifically provided
herein or required by law, whenever any approval, notice, direction, or consent by the
Beneficiary is required or permitted under this Agreement, such action shall be in
writing, and such action may be given, made or taken by Beneficiary's City Manager or
by any person who shall have been designated by Beneficiary's City Manager, without
further approval by the City Council of Beneficiary.
10.9 Joint and Several Liability. If Trustor consists of more than one person or

Trustor's obligations under this Deed of Trust.
10.10 Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence for each provision of this
Deed of Trust.
10.11 Partial Subordination to Extended Use Agreement. Trustor and the
California Tax Credit Allocation Committee may enter into a Regulatory Agreement(s)
(the "TCAC Extended Use Agreement"), which constitutes the extended low-income
housing commitment described in Section 42(h)(6)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, as
amended (the "Code"). In the event of a foreclosure of Beneficiary's interest under this
Deed of Trust or delivery by the Trustor of a deed in lieu thereof (collectively, a
"Foreclosure"), the following rule shall apply:
In the event of a Foreclosure, throughout the extended use period
specified in the TCAC Extended Use Agreement, with respect to any
unit that had been regulated by the TCAC Extended Use Agreement,
(i) none of the eligible tenants occupying those units at the time of
Foreclosure may be evicted or their tenancy terminated (other than for
good cause, including but not limited to, the tenants' ineligibility
pursuant to regulations of the HOME Program or Section 42 of the
22

941-1500-032-02.
B. Pursuant to Section 2.5 of the Regulatory Agreement, applications for housing
within the Development will be ranked in lottery and preference order and preference order will

independently is substantially impeded by that
impairment but could be improved by more suitable
housing conditions. This includes persons with AIDS or
conditions arising from AIDS but excludes persons
whose disability is based solely on drug or alcohol
dependence).
Within all categories, priority will be given to families that, at the time of selection from the waiting list,
