AFFORDABLE HOUSING AGREEMENT
(East Ranch)
THIS AFFORDABLE HOUSING AGREEMENT is hereby entered into as of
_________________, 2023, by and between the City of Dublin, a California municipal corporation
(the “City”), and TH East Ranch Dublin, LLC, a California limited liability company (the
“Developer”).
RECITALS
A. Developer is the owner of 165.5 acres of undeveloped real property in the City of
Dublin located within the Fallon Village area of the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan, known as the
“East Ranch” (the “Development Site”). The Development Site is located north of Interstate 580,
east of Fallon Road and the Jordan Ranch development, south of the Positano development, and
adjacent to the City’s eastern boundary. The Development Site is legally described in Exhibit A
attached hereto.
B. Developer has proposed to develop a housing development on the Development
Site which will include approximately 459 conventional single family homes (“Single Family
Homes”), 14 zero-lot-line single family homes (“Zero Lot Line Homes”), 100 townhomes
(“Townhomes”), and 50 accessory dwelling units (“ADUs”) (together, the “East Ranch Project”).
C. The City has adopted inclusionary housing requirements pursuant to Chapter 8.68
of the Dublin Municipal Code (the “Inclusionary Housing Requirements”). The purpose of the
Inclusionary Housing Requirements is to create affordable housing opportunities in the City for
low- and moderate-income households. The City adopted the Inclusionary Housing Requirements
recognizing that the cost of new housing is so high that persons with very low-, low- and moderate-
incomes are increasingly unable to locate affordable housing in the City. Through the Inclusionary
Housing Requirements the City intends to achieve a balanced community with housing available
at all income levels.
D. The Inclusionary Housing Requirements require that residential projects with
twenty or more for sale units contain at least 12.5% low- and moderate-income units. The
Inclusionary Housing Requirements require that 40% of the affordable for sale units be sold at an
affordable housing cost to low-income households, and 60% of the affordable for sale units be sold
at an affordable housing cost to moderate income households. The Inclusionary Housing
Exhibit A
DocuSign Envelope ID: 1FACBEBB-61A8-4E1B-9825-BD20EFEB0F7A
-2-
Requirements permit alternate methods of compliance, allowing the developer to satisfy 40% of
the Inclusionary Housing Requirements through payment of an in lieu fee in accordance with the
City’s impact fee schedule, and allowing the developer to provide some or all of the remaining
units through land donation and other alternative means.
E. The Inclusionary Housing Requirements for the East Ranch Project require the
Developer to provide seventy-two (72) affordable units. The Developer has proposed, and the
City Council has approved, an alternate method of satisfying the Inclusionary Housing
Requirements which requires the Developer to (i) pay an in lieu fee based upon the City in lieu fee
in effect as of the date of this Agreement (currently $241,131 per unit), as annually adjusted by
inflation, in lieu of constructing twenty-five (25) inclusionary units (for a total in lieu fee of
$6,224,860.50), (ii) construct and sell fourteen (14) Zero-Lot-Line Homes and four (4)
Townhomes to Moderate Income Households at an Affordable Housing Cost, (iii) donate a two
acre site within the Development Site to the City or its designee to be used for the construction of
an affordable housing project, (iv) construct and sell fifty (50) accessory dwelling units which, if
rented, may only be rented to low income households at an affordable rent, and (v) pay an
additional fee of $500,000 to the City’s Affordable Housing Fund.
F. By this Agreement, the parties desire to set forth the manner by which Developer
shall satisfy the obligations applicable to the East Ranch Project under the Inclusionary Housing
Requirements.
NOW, THEREFORE, Developer and City hereby agree as follows:
1.Definitions and Interpretations. Terms used in this Agreement shall be defined
as set forth in Chapter 8.68 of the Dublin Municipal Code.
2.Payment of Fees.
(a)In Lieu Fees. Section 8.68.040.A of the Inclusionary Housing
Requirements provides that developers may satisfy up to forty percent of the Inclusionary Housing
Requirements through payment of an in lieu fee in accordance with the City’s impact fee schedule.
Developer shall satisfy its obligation under the Inclusionary Housing Requirements for twenty-
five (25) Inclusionary Units by paying fees to the City in lieu of constructing such units, equal to
the in lieu fee adopted by the City which is in effect as of the date of July 1, 2023 ($241,131 per
Inclusionary Unit), as such fee is annually adjusted for inflation as provided below (“In Lieu
Fees”). The foregoing adjustment for inflation shall be calculated as follows: the In Lieu Fees
payable hereunder shall be adjusted annually as of July 1 of each year based upon the greater of
the percentage change in the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Fair
Market Rent Limits for the Oakland-Fremont Metropolitan Area (Alameda County), or the
percentage change in the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Price Index, All Urban
Consumers, for San Francisco-Oakland-Hayward. The foregoing In Lieu Fees shall be applicable
notwithstanding City’s adoption of a new fee structure for the Affordable Housing In Lieu fee after
July 1, 2023.
(b)Supplemental Fee. In addition to the In Lieu Fees, Developer shall pay City
a fee of $500,000 to be deposited into City’s Affordable Housing Fund (the “Supplemental Fee”).
DocuSign Envelope ID: 1FACBEBB-61A8-4E1B-9825-BD20EFEB0F7A
-3-
(c)Payment of Fees. The entirety of the In Lieu Fees and Supplemental Fee
shall be paid at the time of the issuance of the first building permits for the East Ranch Project
(excluding building permits issued for model homes). If the Developer fails to pay the In Lieu
Fees when due, the City may withhold any further City approvals for the East Ranch Project,
including without limitation building permits and certificates of occupancy.
3.Moderate Income Homes. Developer shall satisfy its obligation under the
Inclusionary Housing Requirements for eighteen (18) Inclusionary Units through the construction
and sale of fourteen (14) Zero Lot Line Homes and four (4) Townhomes to Moderate Income
Households (the “Moderate Income Inclusionary Units”) in accordance with the following
requirements:
(a)Exterior Materials and Exterior Architectural Design. Section 8.68.030.E
of the Inclusionary Housing Requirements provides that Inclusionary Units shall not be
distinguished by exterior design, construction, or materials. The exterior materials and exterior
architectural design of the Inclusionary Units shall be consistent with the market-rate units within
the East Ranch Project as reviewed and approved through the Site Development Review by the
Planning Commission’s approval of Resolution No. 23-02 on March 14, 2023; provided, however,
that minor changes to unit size may be approved by the Community Development Director through
a Site Development Review waiver. The City Council, in approving this Agreement, hereby finds
that the Moderate Income Inclusionary Units, in accordance with the design approved by the Site
Development Review, are not distinguished by exterior design, construction, or materials.
(b)Unit Location. Section 8.68.030 of the Inclusionary Housing Requirements
requires that Inclusionary Units be dispersed throughout the individual phase in which they are
constructed. A map that shows the location of the Inclusionary Units as proposed by the Developer
is attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Inclusionary Unit Map”). Developer shall construct the
Moderate Income Inclusionary Units in the locations identified in the approved Inclusionary Unit
Map, which will satisfy Section 8.68.030 of the Inclusionary Housing Requirements. The
Community Development Director may administratively approve changes in the location of the
Moderate Income Inclusionary Units provided that he or she finds that the units are reasonably
dispersed as required by Section 8.68.030.E.
(c)Unit Bedrooms and Size. Section 8.68.030.E requires that the Inclusionary
Units reflect the range of numbers of bedrooms provided in the project as a whole. Each of the
fourteen (14) Moderate Income Inclusionary Units which are Zero Lot Line Homes shall have at
least three (3) bedrooms, and shall be at least 1,700 square feet in size consistent with the approved
Site Development Review. Each of the four (4) Moderate Income Inclusionary Units which are
Townhomes shall each have at least four (4) bedrooms, and shall be at least 1,900 square feet in
size consistent with the approved Site Development Review. The City Council, in approving this
agreement, hereby finds that the Moderate Income Inclusionary Units which meet the foregoing
requirements satisfy the unit size requirements of Section 8.68.030.E of the Inclusionary Housing
Requirements.
(d)Sales Price and Marketing. Developer shall sell the Inclusionary Units to
Moderate Income Households at sales prices that are Affordable Sales Prices, as defined in the
Inclusionary Housing Requirements, and are not greater than the maximum sales prices which are
DocuSign Envelope ID: 1FACBEBB-61A8-4E1B-9825-BD20EFEB0F7A
-4-
approved by the City. All units shall be marketed and sold in a manner that is consistent with the
Inclusionary Housing Requirements and Guidelines to the Inclusionary Zoning Ordinance.
(e)Marketing Plan. Developer shall prepare and receive City approval of a
Marketing Plan as required by Section 4.4 of the Guidelines to the Inclusionary Zoning Ordinance
prior to issuance of the first building permit in the Project (excluding building permits issued for
model homes).
(f)Resale Agreements. Prior to transferring ownership of a Moderate Income
Inclusionary Unit to a buyer, Developer shall require that the initial buyer and the City execute a
Resale Restriction and Option to Purchase Agreement (the “Resale Agreement”) in substantially
the form attached hereto as Exhibit C. The Resale Agreement shall serve as the agreement required
by Section 8.68.050.C of the Inclusionary Housing Requirements. Upon (i) the sale of a Moderate
Income Inclusionary Unit as a completed home in accordance with the terms of this Agreement
and (ii) the recordation of the Resale Agreement against such Moderate Income Inclusionary Unit,
Developer shall have no further obligations or liabilities with respect to such Moderate Income
Inclusionary Unit, including but not limited to, monitoring the compliance with this Agreement or
the Resale Agreement of the buyer of a Moderate Income Inclusionary Unit or any successor, and
responsibility for compliance with the Resale Agreement as to that Moderate Income Inclusionary
Unit shall thereafter be the burden of the then owner. Developer shall remain responsible for
compliance with this Agreement as to all other Moderate Income Inclusionary Units not yet sold.
The City and Developer agree that a breach of the Resale Agreement by a purchaser of a Moderate
Income Inclusionary Unit shall not constitute a default or breach by Developer.
(g)City Administrative Fee. Prior to the City’s execution of each Resale
Agreement with the initial buyer of a Moderate Income Inclusionary Unit, Developer shall pay the
City a City Administrative Fee, in an amount to be established from time to time by the City
Council. The City Administrative Fee is currently set at $1,708 per transaction and is subject to
periodic adjustment.
4.Donation of Affordable Housing Site. Section 8.68.040.C of the Inclusionary
Housing Requirements provides that developers may satisfy a portion of their Inclusionary
Housing Requirements through dedication of land to the City or a City-designated local non-profit
housing developer in lieu of construction of some or all of the required affordable units, if the City
Council finds that (1) dedication of land in lieu of constructing units is consistent with the goal of
creating, preserving, maintaining, and protecting housing for very-low, low- and moderate-income
households, (2) the dedicated land is useable for its intended purpose, 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, (3) the
proposed land dedication is of sufficient size to construct the number of Inclusionary Units that
the applicant would otherwise be required to construct, based on the size of lots in the subdivision
for which the applicant is meeting its obligation; and the market value of the land is equal to or
exceeds the difference between the value of a market-rate, 1200-square foot unit and the price at
which such a unit could be sold as an Affordable Unit (which amount shall be set forth in a
resolution adopted from time to time by the City Council) times the number of units required.
Developer shall satisfy its obligation under the Inclusionary Housing Requirements for thirty-six
(36) Inclusionary Units by conveying to City, or City’s designee (“City Designee”), fee title to that
DocuSign Envelope ID: 1FACBEBB-61A8-4E1B-9825-BD20EFEB0F7A
-5-
certain approximately 2.0 acre parcel of real property located on Croak Road east of Fallon Road
and further described in Exhibit D hereof (the “Donation Parcel”). Developer, City and City
Designee shall enter into an agreement for the donation and conveyance of the Donation Parcel,
substantially in the form of Exhibit E hereof, concurrently with the date of this Agreement (the
“Donation Agreement”). The Donation Agreement shall provide City with an option to acquire
the Donation Parcel if the City Designee fails to timely develop the Donation Parcel as an
affordable housing development. In the event that neither the City nor the City Designee elects to
acquire the Donation Parcel on or prior to the date set forth therefor in the Donation Agreement,
then Developer shall satisfy its Inclusionary Housing Requirements for thirty-six (36) Inclusionary
Units by other methods as permitted under the Inclusionary Housing Requirements. In such event
the City and the Developer shall meet and confer with respect to mutually acceptable alternative
methods of compliance with the Inclusionary Housing Requirements, which may include, without
limitation, the assignment of the City Designee’s rights under the Donation Agreement to another
mutually acceptable affordable housing developer.
5.Low Income Accessory Dwelling Units. In addition to the Developer’s
obligations pursuant to Sections 2 to 4 hereof, Developer shall provide for the construction of fifty
(50) attached accessory dwelling units which shall, if rented, be available and restricted to Lower
Income Households (the “Low Income ADU Inclusionary Units”) in accordance with the
following requirements:
(a)Unit Location. Developer shall construct the Low Income ADU
Inclusionary Units in the locations identified in the approved Inclusionary Unit Map (Exhibit B),
which will satisfy Section 8.68.030 of the Inclusionary Housing Requirements. The Community
Development Director may administratively approve changes in the location of the Low Income
ADU Inclusionary Units provided that he or she finds that the units are reasonably dispersed as
required by Section 8.68.030.E.
(b)Unit Bedrooms and Size. Each of the fifty (50) Low Income ADU
Inclusionary Units shall be at least 500 square feet in size consistent with the approved Site
Development Review, and shall have kitchen and bathroom facilities separate from the main
housing unit. The City Council, in approving this agreement, hereby finds that the Low Income
ADU Inclusionary Units which meet the foregoing requirements satisfy the unit size requirements
of Section 8.68.030.E of the Inclusionary Housing Requirements.
(c)Regulatory Agreements. Prior to transferring ownership to a buyer of a
single family home which includes a Low Income ADU Inclusionary Unit, Developer shall require
that the initial buyer and the City execute a Secondary Unit Regulatory Agreement and Declaration
of Restrictive Covenants (the “Regulatory Agreement”) in substantially the form attached hereto
as Exhibit F. The Regulatory Agreement shall serve as the agreement required by Section
8.68.050.C of the Inclusionary Housing Requirements. Upon the initial sale of a single family
home with a Low Income ADU Inclusionary Unit and the recordation of the Regulatory
Agreement against such home, Developer shall have no further obligations or liabilities with
respect to such Low Income ADU Inclusionary Unit, including but not limited to, monitoring the
compliance with this Agreement or the Regulatory Agreement by the owner of the home or any
successor, and responsibility for compliance with the Regulatory Agreement as to that Low
Income ADU Inclusionary Unit shall thereafter be the burden of the then owner. Developer shall
DocuSign Envelope ID: 1FACBEBB-61A8-4E1B-9825-BD20EFEB0F7A
-6-
remain responsible for compliance with this Agreement as to all other Low Income ADU
Inclusionary Units not yet sold. The City and Developer agree that a breach of the Regulatory
Agreement by a purchaser of a home with a Low Income ADU Inclusionary Unit shall not
constitute a default or breach by Developer. The Low Income ADU Inclusionary Units shall not
require owner-occupancy consistent with Section 8.80.030(M).
(d)City Administrative Fee. Prior to the City’s execution of each Regulatory
Agreement with the initial buyer of a single family home which includes a Low Income ADU
Inclusionary Unit, Developer shall pay the City a City Administrative Fee, in an amount to be
established from time to time by the City Council. The City Administrative Fee is currently set at
$1,708 per transaction and is subject to periodic adjustment.
6.Attorneys’ Fees. If legal action is necessary to enforce any provisions of this
Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal costs.
7.Amendments. This Agreement shall be amended only by a written instrument
executed by the parties hereto or their successors in interest. If Developer proposes a change to
this Agreement, Developer shall pay the City its reasonable costs, including attorneys’ fees,
incurred in negotiating such changes, and Developer shall, if requested by the City, provide the
City with a reasonable deposit to cover the City’s reasonable costs, upon Developer initiating such
negotiations.
8.Assignments and Transfers.
(a)Right to Assign. Developer may wish to sell, transfer or assign all or
portions of the Development Site to other developers (each such other developer is referred to as
a “Transferee”). In connection with any such sale, transfer or assignment to a Transferee,
Developer may sell, transfer or assign to such Transferee any or all rights, interests and obligations
of Developer arising hereunder and that pertain to the portion of the Development Site being sold
or transferred, to such Transferee, provided, however, that no such transfer, sale or assignment of
Developer's rights, interests and obligations hereunder shall occur without prior written notice to
City and approval by the City Manager, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed.
(b)Approval and Notice of Sale, Transfer or Assignment. The City Manager
shall consider and decide on any transfer, sale or assignment within thirty (30) days after
Developer’s notice thereof, provided all necessary documents, certifications and other information
are provided to the City Manager to enable the City Manager to determine whether the proposed
Transferee can perform the Developer’s obligations hereunder. Nothing herein shall be deemed to
limit the right of Developer to freely alienate or transfer all or any portion of the Development
Site, provided however, Developer shall not be released from liability under this Agreement unless
and until the approved Transferee shall have agreed in writing to be bound by and to comply with
the requirements of this Agreement and any documents executed hereunder and the City Manager
has approved of such Transferee in accordance with this Section 8(b). Notice of any such approved
sale, transfer or assignment (which includes a description of all rights, interests and obligations
that have been transferred and those which have been retained by Developer) shall be recorded in
the official records of Alameda County, in a form acceptable to the City Manager, concurrently
DocuSign Envelope ID: 1FACBEBB-61A8-4E1B-9825-BD20EFEB0F7A
-7-
with such sale, transfer or assignment. In the event the City Manager fails to make such
determination within such thirty (30) day period, City shall be deemed to have approved the
assignment and assumption of this Agreement by the proposed Transferee and Developer shall be
released pursuant to Section 8(c) below.
(c)Effect of Sale, Transfer or Assignment. Developer shall be released from
any obligations and liability hereunder sold, transferred or assigned to a Transferee pursuant to
Section 8(a) of this Agreement, provided that: (a) such sale, transfer or assignment has been
approved by the City Manager pursuant to Sections 8(a) and 8(b); and (b) such obligations are
expressly assumed by Transferee and provided that such Transferee shall be subject to all the
provisions hereof.
9.Successors. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, this Agreement
shall bind and inure to the benefit of all successors and assigns of the parties. Developer shall
provide notice to the City of the names and mailing addresses of any such successors or assigns.
10.Hold Harmless. Developer shall hold City, its elective and appointive boards,
commissions, officers, employees and agents harmless from and against any or all loss, liability,
expense, claim, costs, suits, damages of every kind, nature and description, to the extent caused by
Developer’s performance of or failure to perform its obligations pursuant to this Agreement.
Developer shall defend City and its elective and appointive boards, commissions, officers,
employees and agents from and against any suits or actions at law or in equity for damages caused
or alleged to have been caused, by Developer’s performance of or failure to perform its obligations
pursuant to this Agreement.
11.Enforcement. If the Developer defaults in the performance or observance of any
covenant, condition, restriction or obligation of the Developer as set forth in this Agreement, and
such default remains uncured for a period of thirty (30) days after notice thereof is given by the
City (or such longer period as may be necessary to cure the default, provided that Developer
commence the cure within the thirty (30) day period and diligently prosecutes the cure to
completion), the City may take any one or more of the following steps:
(a)By specific performance or other action or proceeding at law or in equity,
require the Developer to perform its obligations under this Agreement or enjoin any acts or things
which may be unlawful or in violation of the rights of the City hereunder.
(b)Take such other action at law or in equity as may appear necessary or
desirable to enforce the obligations, covenants, conditions and restrictions of the Developer under
this Agreement.
If Developer transfers any portion of the project in bulk and a Transferee defaults under
this Agreement, the City shall exercise the foregoing remedies only with respect to the defaulting
Transferee and its portion of the project; and so long as Developer has not otherwise defaulted
hereunder, the City shall not seek to exercise any rights and remedies against Developer.
12.Corporate Authority. If Developer is a corporation, each individual signing this
Agreement on behalf of that corporation represents and warrants that each of them is duly
DocuSign Envelope ID: 1FACBEBB-61A8-4E1B-9825-BD20EFEB0F7A
-8-
authorized to execute and deliver this Agreement on behalf of the corporation and that the
Agreement is binding on the corporation in accordance with its terms.
13.Notices, Demands and Communications Between the Parties. Any and all
notices, demands or communications submitted by any Party to another Party pursuant to or as
required by this Agreement shall be proper if in writing and dispatched by messenger for
immediate personal delivery, or by registered or certified United States mail, postage prepaid,
return receipt requested, or by a reputable overnight courier such as FedEx, to the address of City
and Developer, as applicable, as set forth below. Such written notices, demands and
communications may be sent in the same manner to such other addresses as either Party may from
time to time designate as provided in this Section. Any such notice, demand or communication
shall be deemed to be received by the addressee, regardless of whether or when any return receipt
is received by the sender or the date set forth on such return receipt, on the day that it is dispatched
by messenger for immediate personal delivery, two (2) calendar days after it is placed in the United
States mail as heretofore provided, or one (1) calendar day after it is submitted to a reputable
overnight courier.

2.2 Rents for Restricted Units. Rent charged to, and paid by, a tenant for

practice or practices of discrimination or segregation with reference to the selection,

discrimination shall be included in all deeds, leases and contracts executed by Owner or

Agreement upon 24 hours advance notice of such visit to Owner.

4.2 Effectiveness Succeeds Conveyance of Property. This Agreement shall
remain effective and fully binding for the full term hereof regardless of any sale,
assignment, transfer, or conveyance of the Property, unless this Agreement is terminated
earlier by City in a recorded writing.
4.3 Reconveyance. Upon the termination of this Agreement, the Parties agree
to execute and record appropriate instruments to release and discharge the terms of this

successors in interest, transferees, and assigns of Owner and City, regardless of any
sale, assignment, conveyance or transfer of the Property or any part thereof or interest
therein. Each reference in this Agreement to a specifically named party shall be deemed

pursuant to which such parties acknowledge and accept this Agreement and agree to be
bound hereby.

Records of Alameda County. Concurrently with the execution and recordation of this
Agreement, Owner and City shall further execute and record a Performance Deed of
Trust, Assignment of Rents, Fixture Filing and Security Agreement, in the form provided
by City (the “Performance Deed of Trust”). Owner hereby represents, warrants and
covenants that with the exception of easements and restrictions of record, absent the
written consent of City, this Agreement and the Performance Deed of Trust shall not be
subordinated in priority to any lien (other than those pertaining to taxes or assessments),
encumbrance, or other interest in the Property. If at the time this Agreement and the
Performance Deed of Trust are recorded, any interest, lien, or encumbrance has been
recorded against the Property in position superior to this Agreement and the Performance

Second Unit Reg Agmt / Name / Date 6 Rev 12/2017
Deed of Trust, upon the request of City, Owner hereby covenants and agrees to promptly
undertake all action necessary to clear such matter from title or to subordinate such
interest to this Agreement consistent with the intent of and in accordance with this Section,
and to provide such evidence thereof as City may reasonably request. Subordination of
this Agreement and the Performance Deed of Trust shall require a fee to be paid to the
City at the close of escrow. Fee amounts may adjust annually.
8. Transfer and Encumbrance.
8.1 Restrictions on Transfer. During the term of this Agreement, except as
permitted pursuant to this Agreement, Owner shall not make or permit the occurrence of
any conveyance, sale or lease (except as to individual dwelling units) of the Property
without the prior written consent of the City; provided however City shall not withhold its
consent to the sale, transfer or other disposition of the Property, in whole or in part,
provided that (i) the transferee expressly assumes all obligations of Owner imposed by
this Agreement; (ii) the transferee executes all documents reasonably requested by the
City with respect to the assumption of the Owner’s obligations under this Agreement; and
(iii) the Owner has paid the City an Affordable Home Ownership Fee to cover the City’s
costs associated with the transaction. The amount of the Affordable Home Ownership
Fee amount shall be as established from time to time by the City Council.
8.2 Encumbrances. Owner agrees to use best efforts to ensure that any deed
of trust secured by the Property shall contain each of the following provisions: (i) the
holder of such deed of trust 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 (provided
however, the failure to do so shall not impair such holder’s rights and remedies); and (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
thirty (30) days.
8.3 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 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. Such purchaser shall be bound by and
subject to this Agreement from and after such trustee’s sale or foreclosure sale. 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
Property that such violation has occurred.
9. Default and Remedies.
9.1 Events of Default. Owner’s failure to cure any default in performance of
Owner’s obligations under this Agreement within thirty (30) days following City’s delivery
of a notice of default shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder and shall entitle the
City to proceed with any of the remedies described below. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
if the default is such that it is not reasonably capable of being cured within thirty (30) days,
DocuSign Envelope ID: 1FACBEBB-61A8-4E1B-9825-BD20EFEB0F7A
Second Unit Reg Agmt / Name / Date 7 Rev 12/2017
an Event of Default shall not arise hereunder if Owner commences to cure the default
within 30 days and thereafter prosecutes the curing of such default to completion with
due diligence and in good faith, but in no event later than ninety (90) days after receipt of
City’s notice of default or such longer period as City may agree to in writing.
(a) Bring an action for equitable relief seeking the specific performance
of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and/or enjoining, abating, or preventing
any violation of such terms and conditions, and/or seeking declaratory relief;
(b) For violations of obligations with respect to rents for Restricted Units,
impose as liquidated damages a charge in an amount equal to the actual amount
collected in excess of the Qualifying Rent;
(c) Pursue any other remedy allowed at law or in equity.
9.2 Remedies Cumulative. Each of the remedies provided herein is cumulative
and not exclusive. The City may exercise from time to time any rights and remedies
available to it under applicable law or in equity, in addition to, and not in lieu of, any rights
and remedies expressly provided in this Agreement.
10. Indemnification. Owner shall defend (with counsel approved by City), indemnify
and hold the City and its officials, officers, directors, employees, and agents (collectively,
the "Indemnified Parties") harmless from and against any and all losses, damages,
liabilities, claims, demands, judgments, actions, court costs, and legal or other expenses
(including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from or in connection with or in any way
related to: (i) Owner’s performance or failure to perform any obligation required by this
Agreement; or (ii) any act or omission by Owner, or any of Owner’s contractors,
subcontractors, agents, employees, licensees or suppliers related to the Property, except
to the extent arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified
Party. The provisions of this Section shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of
this Agreement.

11.1 Amendments. This Agreement may be amended or modified only by a
written instrument signed by both Parties.

must be in writing. No waiver shall be implied from any delay or failure by City to take

Agreement or applicable law. No failure or delay by City at any time to require strict
performance by Owner of any provision of this Agreement or to exercise any election
contained herein or any right, power or remedy hereunder shall be construed as a waiver
of any other provision or any succeeding breach of the same or any other provision hereof
or a relinquishment for the future of such election.
