Project Description Zoning Summary - RM - Medium Density Residential PRESIDIO AT PACIFIC PARK – CITY OF ALISO VIEJO
Brandywine Acquisition Group, LLC is proud to present a proposal for a thoughtfully planned townhome style community located at 15 Argonaut in the City of Aliso Viejo.
Rooted in Brandywine’s mission to build lasting neighborhoods for California families, this new community reflects a careful balance of design, open space, and character—integrating seamlessly into the surrounding environment while delivering much-needed for-sale housing.
The vision of this community is centered around place making, open space, and thoughtful architecture. A dog play area, a community garden, a recreation lawn, BBQ area with shade structure, meandering paseos, all work together to create an inviting and connected place to call home. The site design prioritizes preserved open space, livability and neighborhood character while celebrating the Aliso Viejo lifestyle.
The proposed architecture embraces a refined, grounded style tailored specifically for the city, featuring three-story townhomestyle homes that offer spacious layouts for families to grow and thrive. Each of the 58 for-sale solar-powered, all-electric homes will range in size from approximately 1,320 to 1,827 square feet and will include two car private garages (116 total spaces), accessed by common drive aisles to ensure privacy and convenience.
The community will offer 55 market-rate homes and 3 inclusionary below market rate units, for very low-income households.
Every home is designed with livability in mind and will feature individual entry front door, and oversized decks, reinforcing the strong indoor-outdoor lifestyle that is so valued by Aliso Viejo families. The homes will be arranged across 10 residential buildings in total, reflecting 5 unique architectural building types, with 4 distinct floor plans offered to future residents. The community is further enhanced by shared and private landscaped spaces and 24 guest parking stalls, consisting of 23 guest spaces and 1 unassigned accessible ADA space.
This new neighborhood has been designed to comply with all applicable objective General Plan and Subdivision standards as outlined in Government Code Section 65589.5(j) and qualifies as a housing development project under Government Code Section 65589.5(h)(2). The project is also consistent with an adopted community plan under CEQA Guidelines Section 15183.
To bring this vision to life, Brandywine Acquisition Group, LLC is requesting a General Plan Amendment, a Vesting Tentative Tract Map, Site Development Permit, CEQA – MND, Zoning Change, and State Density Bonus Law (SB 330, AB52, SB18). As part of the Density Bonus application, Brandywine is requesting waivers of development standards to physically accommodate the permitted density, as well as one incentive and concession, with details outlined on submittal. The project is also eligible for a reduced parking ratio pursuant to Government Code Section 65915(p)(1).
Brandywine is excited to collaborate with the City of Aliso Viejo on a community that will bring vitality, housing opportunity, and architectural integrity to the neighborhood. We are proud to offer solar, all-electric homes designed for today’s families and look forward to working together to make this community a reality. 2157

ORDINANCE NO. 2026-___
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ALISO
VIEJO, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
BETWEEN THE CITY AND BRANDYWINE HOMES FOR THE
DEVELOPMENT OF PRESIDIO AT PACIFIC PARK, A 58-UNIT
RESIDENTIAL TOWNHOME COMMUNITY LOCATED AT 15
ARGONAUT (APN: 623-093-10 & 623-093-11).
WHEREAS, the City of Aliso Viejo (“City”) has found that development agreements strengthen the public planning process, encourage private participation in comprehensive planning by providing a greater degree of certainty in that process, reduce the economic costs of development, allow for the orderly planning of public improvements and services, allocate costs to achieve maximum utilization of public and private resources in the development process, and ensure that appropriate measures to enhance and protect the environment are achieved;
WHEREAS, pursuant to California Government Code section 65864 et seq. and Aliso Viejo Municipal Code (“AVMC”) section 15.82.010, the City is authorized to enter into development agreements providing for the development of land under terms and conditions set forth therein;
WHEREAS, on April 15, 2026, Brandywine Homes (“Applicant”) submitted applications for a general plan amendment, zone change, vesting tentative tract map, site development permit, and a development agreement application to demolish an existing office building and construct the construction of a multi-family residential community at 15 Argonaut (“Project”);
WHEREAS, because of the logistics, magnitude of the expenditure and considerable lead time prerequisite to planning and developing the Project, Developer has proposed to enter into a development agreement concerning the Project (“Development Agreement”) to provide assurances that the Project can proceed without disruption caused by a change in the City's planning policies and requirements except as provided in the Development Agreement, which assurance will thereby reduce the actual or perceived risk of planning for and proceeding with development of the Project;
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that by entering into the Development Agreement: (i) the City will promote orderly growth and quality development on the Property in accordance with the goals and policies set forth in the General Plan; and (ii) the Project will provide public benefits, including 58 for-sale homes, three units restricted to very low-income households, pedestrian walkways, landscaped open spaces, and recreational amenities;

Policy COS-7.5 Ensure that new development provides park land and/or improvements at a fair share ratio, pursuant to the City’s Parkland Ordinance.
Goal H-1: Encourage a diversity of housing types and provide affordability levels within Aliso Viejo to meet the needs of community residents. Policy H-1.1 Identify sites appropriate for the development of a variety of housing types and price ranges to meet the needs of all socioeconomic segments of the community through the disbursement of affordable units in projects.
Policy H-1.2 Encourage through the use of density bonuses and rezoning to allow for residential development, development of affordable housing opportunities throughout the community, as well as development of housing for elderly and low- and moderate-income households near public transportation services.
Policy H-1.4 Ensure that a portion of future residential development is affordable to low- and very-low-income households by designating certain sites as having the potential to be used for residential uses. Policy H-3.8 Review existing zoning policies and explore zoning changes to facilitate the development of affordable housing.
Policy LU-12.2 As a condition upon new development, require payment of park fees and/or dedication and provision of parkland, recreation facilities and/or multi-use trails that improve the public and private recreation system.

2 THIS DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is entered into by and between THE CITY OF ALISO VIEJO, a California municipal corporation (“City”), and BRANDYWINE ACQUISITION GROUP, LLC. (“Owner”) with reference to the following facts:
RECITALS.
A. To strengthen the public planning process, encourage private participation in comprehensive planning and reduce the economic risk of development, the Legislature of the State of California adopted the “Development Agreement Statute,” Sections 65864 et seq., of the Government Code. City, a general law city, is authorized by the Development Agreement Statute to enter into development agreements with persons and entities having legal or equitable interests in real property for the purpose of establishing predictability for both City and the property owner in the development process. Owner has requested that City enter into a development agreement for the development of the Property, as defined below. City enters into this Agreement pursuant to the provisions of the California Government Code, the City’s General Plan, the City Municipal Code, and applicable City policies.
B. Owner has a legal or equitable interest in that certain real property consisting of approximately 4.4 acres of land located in the City of Aliso Viejo, County of Orange, State of California, more particularly described in Exhibit “A” (the “Property”).
Owner desires to develop the Property for residential uses of 58 for-sale residential Units, including 55 for sale market-rate units and three (3) affordable for-sale units, as further described herein.
C. This Agreement is intended to ensure that Owner has provided funding sufficient to provide the adequate and appropriate public recreational facilities and services required by the development of the Property.
D. This Agreement also assures that the development will assist the City in meeting its goals for the provisions of affordable housing by contributing to the City’s affordable housing stock.
E. This Agreement further assures that development of the Property may occur in accordance with City’s General Plan, as amended by the General Plan Amendment and Zone Change. The development of the Property pursuant to the Existing Land Use Regulations, this Agreement, the Subsequent Land Use Regulations to which Owner has consented in writing, and Subsequent Development Approvals (as each of those terms and phrases is defined within this Agreement) shall be referred to as the “Development Plan.”
F. This Agreement constitutes a current exercise of City’s police powers to provide predictability to Owner in the development approval process by vesting the permitted use, density, intensity of use, and timing and phasing of development consistent with the Development Plan in exchange for Owner’s commitment to provide significant public benefits to City (the “Public Benefits”) as set forth in Section 9. 2204
60367.00001\45389844.2
113759\19836846v3
3 G. The provision by Owner of the Public Benefits allows the City to realize significant economic, recreational, park, open space, educational, social, and public facilities benefits. The Public Benefits will advance the interests and meet the needs of Aliso Viejo’s residents and visitors.
H. In return for Owner’s participation and commitment to these significant contributions of private resources for public purposes, City is willing to exercise its authority to enter into this Agreement and to make a commitment of predictability for the development process for the Property. Absent City’s willingness to make such a commitment, Owner would be unwilling to enter into this Agreement or make the significant investment of resources identified in this Agreement.
AGREEMENT
City and Owner agree as follows:
1. INTEREST OF OWNER. Owner represents that it has a legal or equitable interest in the Property and is authorized to enter into this Agreement.
2. PUBLIC HEARINGS.

3.3 This Agreement provides public benefits beyond those which are necessary to mitigate the development of the Project.
3.4 This Agreement strengthens the public planning process, encourages private participation in comprehensive planning, particularly with respect to the implementation of the City’s General Plan, and reduces the economic costs of development and government.

Owner knowingly and willingly waives any rights it may have under Government Code Section 66020 or any other provision of law to protest the imposition of any fees, dedications, reservations, or other exactions imposed on the Project as authorized by this Agreement.
8. DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROPERTY.
8.1 Owner’s Vested Right. Owner shall have the vested right to complete Development of the Property in accordance with the Development Plan as provided in this Agreement (“Owner’s Vested Right”). To enable Owner to complete the Project, Owner’s Vested Right shall include, but not be limited to, the rights to (1) develop 58 for-sale residential Units, including fifty five (55) for-sale market-rate units and three (3) affordable for-sale units, all in accordance with the Development Plan, (2) the timely issuance by the City of all Subsequent Development Approvals, and (3) the timely taking by the City of such other actions that are (i) requested by Owner, and (ii) consistent with the terms of this Agreement, including, but not limited, to the vested rights afforded pursuant to Section 8.9 of this Agreement. 2215
60367.00001\45389844.2
113759\19836846v3
14 Owner’s Vested Right shall be subject to the Reservation of Authority set forth in Section 8.6 and all provisions of this Agreement and may not be modified or terminated except as expressly provided by this Agreement.
8.2 Governing Land Use Regulations. The Land Use Regulations applicable to the Project and the Property shall be those contained in the Development Plan. An amendment or other modification of this Agreement will not change these applicable Land Use Regulations unless the amendment or modification expressly provides otherwise. Subsequent Land Use Regulations shall not apply to the Property except as authorized in Section
8.6 of this Agreement, unless the Owner and the City mutually agree in writing that the Project will be subject to one or more Subsequent Land Use Regulations. To the extent of any inconsistency between this Agreement and any provision of the City’s subdivision ordinance (comprising Title 14 of the Aliso Viejo Municipal Code), this Agreement shall control.
Nothing contained in this Section shall be deemed to authorize City to withhold any building permit, approval, and/or certificate of occupancy based on Owner’s failure to comply with any Land Use Regulation that is not applicable to the Project because of this Agreement.
8.3 Permitted Uses. Except as otherwise provided within this Agreement, the permitted uses on the Property shall be as provided in the Development Plan.
8.4 Density and Intensity; Requirement for Reservation and Dedication of Land.
Except as otherwise provided within this Agreement, the density and intensity of use for all Development on the Property, and the requirements for reservation and dedication of land, shall be as provided in the Development Plan.
8.5 Unit Counts to be Determined with First Tentative Map Approval. The City Council will, concurrently with the approval of the First Tentative Map, determine the specific number of Units which may be built as part of the Project in accordance with Owner’s Vested Right set forth in Section 8.1 of this Agreement. In order for the City to make this determination, Owner shall submit the First Tentative Map Submittal Package, concurrently with its application for the First Tentative Map. Under no circumstances may the City reduce the number of units permitted under the Development Plan in conjunction with the First Tentative Map Approval without consent of Owner.
8.6 Reservation of Authority. The following Land Use Regulations or Subsequent Land Use Regulations shall apply to the Property and the Project:
8.6.1 Processing fees and charges imposed by the City to cover the City’s estimated or actual costs of reviewing and processing 2216
60367.00001\45389844.2
113759\19836846v3
15 applications for the Project, providing inspections, conducting annual reviews, providing environmental analysis, or for monitoring compliance with this Agreement or any Development Approvals granted or issued, provided such fees and charges are in force and effect on a general basis on the date of filing such applications with the City. This Section shall not be construed to limit the authority of City to charge its then-current, normal and customary application, processing, and permit fees for Subsequent Development
Approvals, building permits and other similar permits, which fees are designed to reimburse City’s expenses attributable to such application, processing, and permitting and are in force and effect on a City-wide basis at such time as the Subsequent Development Approvals and permits are granted by City, notwithstanding the fact that such fees may have been increased by City subsequent to the Effective Date;
8.6.2 Procedural regulations relating to hearing bodies, petitions, applications, notices, findings, records, hearings, reports, recommendations, appeals, and any other matter of procedure;
8.6.3 The following, provided that (i) they are uniformly applied to all development projects within the City and (ii) are not applied retroactively to any Development Approval issued before their adoption or amendment:
8.6.3.1 Uniform codes governing engineering and construction standards and specifications adopted by the City
pursuant to state law. Such codes include, without
limitation, the City’s Municipal Code, adopted version
of the California Building Code, California Plumbing
Code, California Mechanical Code, California Electrical Code, California Energy Code, California Green
Building Standards Code, California Residential Code,
and California Fire Code;
8.6.3.2 Local amendments to those uniform codes which are adopted by the City pursuant to state law, provided
they pertain exclusively to the preservation of life and safety; and
8.6.3.3 The City’s standards and procedures regarding the granting of encroachment permits and the conveyance
of rights and interests which provide for the use of or the entry upon public property.
8.6.4 Regulations which may be in conflict with this Agreement, but which are objectively required (and there are no available 2217
60367.00001\45389844.2
113759\19836846v3
16 reasonable alternatives) to protect the public health and safety in the event of a sudden, unexpected occurrence involving a clear and imminent danger, and demanding immediate action to prevent or mitigate loss of, or damage to, life, health, property, or essential public services within the immediate community. Such regulations must be a valid exercise of the City’s police power and must be applied and construed so as to provide Owner, to the maximum extent possible, with the rights and assurances provided in this Agreement. To apply to the Property, such regulations must be adopted after a public hearing and must be based upon findings of necessity established by a preponderance of the evidence. Any regulations, including moratoria, enacted by City and imposed on the Property to protect the public health and safety in the circumstances described above shall toll the Term and any time periods for performance by Owner and City set forth in this Agreement;
8.6.5 Owner shall be issued building permits for the Project after permit applications are reviewed and approved by City in the City’s customary fashion for such review and approval; and
8.6.6 The exercise of the power of eminent domain.
8.7 County-Mandated Impact Fees. Nothing in this Agreement shall relieve Owner of the responsibility to pay any impact fees established by the County of Orange or associated with any County program and for which Owner is legally responsible. Owner shall pay any such fees the City is required to collect or otherwise collects on behalf of the County of Orange.
Owner understands and acknowledges that Exhibit “C” reflects only the City’s estimate of fees paid and fees owed, and may not accurately reflect Owner’s County fee obligations. The omission of any fee from Exhibit “C” which is due to the County or any other public agency shall not invalidate or otherwise affect Owner’s obligation to pay that fee.
8.8 Adequacy of Required Infrastructure. The City acknowledges and agrees that there will be sufficient capacity to accommodate the Project in the infrastructure and services owned, operated, outsourced, controlled, and/or provided by the City, including, without limitation, traffic circulation, storm drainage, trash collection, and flood control. Where City renders or outsources such services or owns such infrastructure, City shall serve the Project and there shall be no restrictions placed upon Owner concerning hookups or service for the Project, except for reasons beyond City’s control.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, City does not warrant the adequacy of, and City shall not be responsible or liable for any infrastructure or services that are not owned, operated, outsourced, controlled, and/or provided by City. 2218
60367.00001\45389844.2
113759\19836846v3
17 8.9 Vested Rights Upon Termination. Termination of the Agreement shall not invalidate any Land Use Regulations or terminate any Subsequent Development Approvals obtained prior to the date of termination. Upon any termination of this Agreement, Owner’s vested rights, if any, shall be determined by this Agreement to the extent development has occurred hereunder, and as to the remainder of the Project, by state and federal statutes and case law and then current factual state of the Development.
Subject to that determination of rights and all other applicable law, Owner’s right to continue development of the Project pursuant to some or all of the Development Plan shall be subject to the ordinary exercise of the City’s police power, including the adoption of a general plan amendment, zoning change, or other Land Use Regulations applicable to the Property. Owner acknowledges that following termination or expiration of this Agreement, except as to any development that has vested, City may amend the general plan designation of the Property and/or the zoning designation applicable to the Property.
8.10 Waiver of Density Bonus. While this Agreement is in effect, Owner waives any right Owner may have to a density bonus under Government Code Sections 65915 through 65917.5 or the Aliso Viejo Municipal Code.
Densities vested hereunder include all densities available as density bonuses under the Aliso Viejo Municipal Code and Government Code Sections 65915 through 65917.5; Owner shall not be entitled to further density bonuses. Nothing in this section limits Owner’s right to seek incentives, concessions, and/or waivers under the state Density Bonus Law, as applicable, all of which are expressly reserved.
8.11 Staffing and Expedited Processing. City shall employ all lawful actions capable of being undertaken by City to (i) promptly receive and, when complete, accept all applications for Subsequent Development Approvals and related environmental analysis, if any (collectively, “Applications”), and (ii) expeditiously process and take action upon the Applications in accordance with applicable law.
8.12 Changes in Federal and State Law. The Property may be subject to subsequently enacted state or federal laws or regulations that preempt local regulations or mandate the adoption of local regulations that conflict with the Development Plan. Upon discovery of such a subsequently enacted federal or state law, City or Owner shall provide the other Party with written notice, a copy of the state or federal law or regulation, and a written explanation of the legal or regulatory conflict created. Within ten (10) days thereafter, City and Owner shall meet and confer in good faith in a reasonable attempt to modify this Agreement, as necessary, to comply with such federal or state law or regulation. In such negotiations, City and Owner agree to preserve the terms of this Agreement and the rights of Owner and City as derived from this Agreement to the maximum feasible extent while resolving the conflict. City agrees to cooperate with Owner in resolving the 2219
60367.00001\45389844.2
113759\19836846v3
18 conflict in a manner which minimizes any financial impact of the conflict upon Owner or City. City also agrees to process, in the same expedited manner as set forth for Applications in Section 8.11, Owner’s proposed changes to the Development Plan as needed to comply with such federal or state law, and to process those changes in accordance with City procedures. Any delays caused by such changes in state or federal law shall toll the term of this Agreement and the time periods for performance by Owner and City set forth in this Agreement.
8.13 Cooperation in Securing Other Governmental Approvals and Permits. City agrees to make its staff available, at Owner’s cost, to assist Owner in securing permits and approvals required by other governmental agencies to assure Owner’s ability to (i) implement the Development Plan and (ii) perform its obligations under this Agreement in a timely manner. City does not warrant or represent that any other governmental permits or approvals will be granted.
8.14 Compliance with CEQA. Where the California Environmental Quality Act requires that an environmental analysis be performed in connection with a future discretionary approval granted by the City for the Project, the City, consistent with Section 8.13, shall provide the cooperation needed to expeditiously complete those actions.
8.15 Timing of Development. Because the California Supreme Court held in Pardee Construction Co. v. City of Camarillo, 37 Cal. 3d 465 (1984), that the failure of the parties in that case to provide for the timing of development resulted in a later-adopted initiative restricting the timing of development to prevail over the parties’ agreement, it is the specific intent of the Parties to provide for the timing of the Project in this Agreement. To do so, the Parties acknowledge and provide that Owner shall have the right, but not the obligation, to complete the Project in such order, at such rate, at such times, and in as many development phases and sub-phases as Owner deems appropriate in its sole subjective business judgment but subject to Section
9.4 of this Agreement.
8.16 Conditions, Covenants and Restrictions. Owner shall have the ability to reserve and record such covenants, conditions, and restrictions (“CC&Rs”) against the Property as Owner deems appropriate, in its sole and absolute discretion. Such CC&Rs may not conflict with this Agreement or the General Plan. Before recording any CC&Rs, Owner shall provide a copy of the CC&Rs to the City for review and approval by the City Attorney. The City Attorney’s review shall be limited to determining if the CC&Rs substantially comply with this Agreement. Within forty-five (45) days after receiving a copy of the proposed CC&Rs from Owner, the City Attorney shall provide Owner with either (i) a statement that the CC&Rs comply with this Agreement (“CC&R Approval”) or (ii) written comments identifying each aspect of the CC&Rs which the City Attorney believes not to be in 2220
60367.00001\45389844.2
113759\19836846v3
19 compliance with this Agreement (a “Statement of Non-Compliance”). If the City Attorney fails to provide Owner with either CC&R Approval or a Statement of Non-Compliance within forty-five (45) days following a written request by Owner, City shall be deemed to have approved the CC&Rs and Owner may record the CC&Rs against the Property. If the City Attorney provides a Statement of Non-Compliance, Owner shall have thirty (30) days in which to respond to the Statement of Non-Compliance. Upon submittal of Owner’s response, the procedure described above for the initial submittal and City Attorney review of proposed CC&Rs shall again be followed. This procedure shall be followed until Owner either (1) receives CC&R Approval, (2) submits the compliance issues to binding arbitration pursuant to the rules of the American Arbitration Association, (3) files an action for declaratory relief in Orange County Superior Court seeking a judicial determination of the compliance of the proposed CC&Rs, or (4) agreement is otherwise reached between the Parties allowing for the recording of the CC&Rs. The CC&Rs may run with the land and bind Owner’s successors and assigns. Except as provided above, any dispute between the Parties regarding the City’s approval or rejection of the CC&Rs shall be subject to immediate and binding arbitration pursuant to the rules of the American Arbitration Association.
9. PUBLIC BENEFITS.
9.1 Intent. This Agreement is entered into by the City in consideration of, and in exchange for, Owner’s agreement to contribute to the development and rehabilitation of public recreational facilities, affordable housing, and other services.
9.2 Public Benefits. Owner’s development and financial obligations related to public benefits are set forth in this Section 9 and Exhibit “C”. This Section 9 and Exhibit “C” shall survive the termination, cancellation, or expiration of this Agreement.
9.3 Independent Nature of Obligations. Owner’s Public Benefit obligations are independent of the obligations of any other landowner or any other property which the City intends to participate in providing some or all of the Public Benefits. Provided that Owner satisfies its Public Benefit obligations and is not in Material Default, Owner’s Vested Right to complete the full development of the Project shall not be limited, diminished, or otherwise adversely affected by the failure of any other landowner or property to participate in providing the Public Benefits as anticipated by the City.
Similarly, the City’s obligations to Owner and the Property are independent of the City’s obligations to any other property or landowner. Owner acknowledges that the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to any fee the amount of which is not controlled by the City, including but not limited to fees paid to the Capistrano Unified School District, the County of Orange, and/or any other government agency.
2221
60367.00001\45389844.2
113759\19836846v3
20 9.4 Affordable Housing Obligations. Owner recognizes the policy stated in the Housing Element of the Aliso Viejo General Plan to encourage the provision of affordable housing in new development. Owner agrees to satisfy its obligation to provide for affordable housing by constructing three (3) units restricted to Very Low Income Households. All affordable housing Units must be developed on-site at the Property. The affordable Units shall be constructed concurrently with the market rate Units in the Project.
Owner shall enter into a Density Bonus Housing Agreement with the City, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “D”, which shall set forth the terms, conditions, and restrictions governing the development, affordability, and occupancy of the affordable housing Units. Execution of the Density Bonus Housing Agreement shall be completed prior to the issuance of any building permit for the Project. The City shall have no obligation to issue any building permit for the Project until the fully executed Density Bonus Housing Agreement has been submitted to and accepted by the City. Any delay in the issuance of building permits resulting from the Owner’s failure to timely submit the executed agreement shall be solely the responsibility of the Owner.
10. ANNUAL REVIEW.
10.1 Timing of Annual Review. Pursuant to Government Code Section 65865.1, at least once during every twelve (12) month period of the Term, City shall review the good faith compliance of Owner with the terms of this Agreement (“Annual Review”).
10.2 Standards for Annual Review. During the Annual Review, Owner shall be required to demonstrate good faith compliance with the terms of this Agreement. “Good faith compliance” shall be established if Owner is in compliance with every term and condition of this Agreement. If the City Council or its designee finds and determines, based on substantial evidence, that Owner is not in good faith compliance, then City may proceed in accordance with Section 12 pertaining to the potential Default of Owner and the opportunities for cure. Owner shall pay a reasonable fee to cover the costs incurred by City (i.e., staff time and necessary consultant costs) in connection with the Annual Review.
10.3 Procedures for Annual Review. The Annual Review shall be conducted by the City Council or its designee. Owner shall be given a minimum of thirty (30) days’ notice of any date scheduled for an Annual Review. Owner shall not be limited in the information it presents to the City Council for the Annual Review and may, if needed, provide information to the City Council in the first instance at the City Council hearing on the Annual Review. Should the City Council designate a party other than itself to conduct the Annual Review, these same notice and procedural requirements shall apply to the conduct by the designee of the Annual Review.

113759\19836846v3
21 11. THIRD PARTY LITIGATION.
11.1 General Plan Litigation. City has determined that this Agreement is consistent with its General Plan. Owner has reviewed the General Plan and concurs with City’s determination. Neither Owner nor City shall have any liability under this Agreement or otherwise for any failure of City to perform under this Agreement, or for the inability of Owner to develop the Property as contemplated by the Development Plan or this Agreement, if such failure or inability is the result of a judicial determination that part or all of the General Plan is invalid, inadequate, or not in compliance with law.
11.2 Third Party Litigation Concerning Agreement. Owner shall, at Owner’s expense (including attorneys’ fees), defend, indemnify, and hold City, its officials, officers, employees, agents, and independent contractors, harmless from any third-party claim, action or proceeding against City, its officials, officers, employees agents, or contractors to attack, set aside, void, or annul the approval of this Agreement. City shall promptly notify Owner of any such claim, action or proceeding, and City shall cooperate in the defense at Owner’s cost. Owner reserves the right to withdraw its Project application or request that City repeal or rescind Project approvals.
If Owner requests such application withdrawal or Project repeal or rescission, Owner shall also pay all costs related to processing those requests and bringing them to City Council for hearing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Owner shall continue to pay for any and all litigation costs and fees until such litigation has been resolved by a Court (i.e., obtaining a dismissal of the City from the case). For the avoidance of doubt, any damages or judgment shall also solely be paid for by Owner. To the extent that Owner withdraws its Project application or requests that the City rescind or repeal Project approvals, City reserves the right to reduce or abandon its defense of any litigation.
11.3 Indemnity. In addition to the provisions of Section 11.2, Owner shall indemnify and hold City, its officials, officers, agents, employees and independent contractors free and harmless from liability whatsoever or claims based or alleged upon any act or omission of Owner, its officers, agents, employees, subcontractors and independent contractors, for property damage, bodily injury or death (Owner’s employees included) or any other element of damage of any kind or nature, relating to or arising from development of the Project, except for claims for damages arising through active negligence or willful misconduct of City, its officials, officers, agents, employees and independent contractors. Owner shall defend, at Owner’s expense, including attorneys’ fees, City, its officials, officers, agents, employees and independent contractors in any legal action based upon such alleged acts or omissions of Owner, its officers, agents, employees, subcontractors, and independent contractors, in connection with the development of the Project, this Agreement, or the Development 2223
60367.00001\45389844.2
113759\19836846v3
22 Approvals. For the avoidance of doubt, any damages or judgments shall also solely be paid for by Owner.
11.4 Environmental Contamination. Owner shall indemnify and hold City, its officers, agents, employees, and contractors free and harmless from any liability, based or alleged, upon any act or omission of Owner, its officers, agents, employees, subcontractors, predecessors in interest, successors, assigns, and independent contractors, resulting in any violation of any federal, state or local law, ordinance or regulation relating to industrial hygiene or to environmental conditions on, under, or about the Property, including, but not limited to, soil and groundwater conditions, and Owner shall defend, at its expense, including attorneys’ fees, City, its officials, officers, agents and employees in any action based or asserted upon any such alleged act or omission. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section, Owner shall not be responsible for clean-up and removal of groundwater contamination migrating to or from an adjacent property not owned by Owner.
11.5 City to Reasonably Approve Counsel; Conduct of Litigation. With respect to Sections 11.2 through 11.4, City reserves the right to either (a) reasonably approve the attorney(s) that Owner selects, hires, or otherwise engages to defend City, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, or (b) conduct its own defense, provided, however, that if City elects to conduct its own defense, Owner shall reimburse City for any and all reasonable expenses incurred for such defense, including attorneys’ fees, upon billing and accounting therefore. To the extent that Owner does not timely pay its full share of attorneys’ fees and court costs, in addition to any other remedy, the City reserves the right to reduce or abandon its defense of any litigation. To the extent that Owner has failed to timely pay its full share of attorneys’ fees and court costs under this section, Owner shall be deemed to have waived any right to participate in the selection of counsel and/or be involved in establishing and implementing litigation strategy, and Owner’s rights under this Agreement shall be suspended until Owner has fully reimbursed the City to make up a funding shortfall created by Owner’s failure to timely pay. Owner shall have the right to audit all billings for such fees and expenses. City shall not have the right to approve counsel selected by Owner to represent Owner’s interests in any litigation. In any joint defense between the City and Owner of matters arising under this Agreement, City shall cooperate fully with Owner’s counsel.
11.6 Processing During Third Party Litigation. The filing of any third party lawsuit(s) against City or Owner relating to this Agreement, the General Plan, any Development Approvals, including Subsequent Development Approvals, or other development issues affecting the Property shall not delay or stop the development, processing, or construction of the Project, approval of Subsequent Development Approvals, or issuance of “Ministerial Approvals,” unless the third party obtains a court order preventing the 2224
60367.00001\45389844.2
113759\19836846v3
23 activity or invalidating this Agreement or any provision thereof. City shall not stipulate to the issuance of any such order without Owner’s prior written consent. For purposes of this Section, the term “Ministerial Approvals” shall mean the issuance of approvals or permits requiring the determination of conformance with Land Use Regulations and Development Approvals, including, without limitation, site plans, site development permits, area plans, design review, development plans, land use plans, grading plans, improvement plans, building plans and specifications, ministerial issuance or approval of one or more final maps, zoning clearances, grading permits, improvement permits, stormwater management plans, wall permits, building permits, lot line adjustments, conditional and temporary use permits, certificates of use and occupancy, approvals, entitlements, and related matters as may be necessary for the completion of the Project.
11.7 Survival. The provisions of Sections 11.1 through 11.7 inclusive, shall survive the termination, cancellation, or expiration of this Agreement.
12. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES.
12.1 Major Default Defined. A Major Default, as defined in Section 5.21 of this Agreement, may establish cause for early termination of this Agreement.
This provision does not limit the right of either Party to pursue other nontermination remedies permitted by this Section 12 for Minor Defaults.
12.2 Notice and Termination. Before either Party may declare a Major Default or termination of this Agreement or bring a legal action to terminate this Agreement, the procedures of this Section must be followed. In the case of a Major Default arising from the conduct of an Annual Review, the procedures of this Section shall be strictly followed and shall constitute a second and independent review of the good faith compliance of Owner.
The Party asserting a Default (the “Non-Defaulting Party”) may elect to do so by providing written notice to the Party alleged to be in Default (the “Defaulting Party”) setting forth the nature of the Default and the actions, if any, required by the Defaulting Party to cure the Default. The Defaulting Party shall be deemed in Default if the Defaulting Party fails to cure the Default within thirty (30) business days after the date of such notice (for monetary defaults) or within sixty business (60) days after the date of such notice (for non-monetary defaults) (“cure periods”). If the nature of the alleged Default is such that it cannot reasonably be cured within the applicable cure period, the Defaulting Party shall not be deemed to be in Default if it has commenced efforts to cure the Default within the applicable cure period and continues to diligently pursue completion of the cure.
12.3 Default Remedies. A Party who complies with the notice of Default and opportunity to cure requirements of Section 12.2 may, at its option, institute legal action to cure, correct, or remedy the alleged Default, enjoin any 2225
60367.00001\45389844.2
113759\19836846v3
24 threatened or attempted violation, enforce the terms of this Agreement by specific performance, or pursue any other legal or equitable remedy. These remedies shall be cumulative rather than exclusive, except as otherwise provided by law.
Furthermore, the City, after first following the procedures set forth in Section
12.2, may give notice of its intent to terminate or modify this Agreement for an uncured Major Default, in which event the matter shall be scheduled for consideration and review by the City Council, using the notice and procedure provisions set forth in Section 10.3 for an Annual Review. The “preponderance of evidence” standard of review set forth in Section 12.4, however, shall be employed rather than the “substantial evidence” standard set forth in Section 10.2.
12.4 Standard of Review. Any determination by City that Owner is in Default shall be based on the preponderance of evidence before the City. In any legal action by Owner challenging the City’s determination of Default, the court shall conduct a de novo review of Owner’s compliance based on the administrative record and determine if the preponderance of evidence supports the City’s determination.
12.5 Owner’s and City’s Exclusive Remedy. City and Owner acknowledge that neither City nor Owner would have entered into this Agreement if it were to be liable for damages under or with respect to all or any part of the Development Plan. Accordingly, except as stated below, neither Party shall sue the other for damages or monetary relief for any matter related to the Development Plan. City may, however, sue Owner for the payment of sums due from Owner to City under provisions of this Agreement which are expressly stated to survive termination of this Agreement. With these exceptions, Owner’s and City’s litigation remedies shall be limited to declaratory and injunctive relief, mandate, and specific performance.
12.6 Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. All waivers of performance must be in a writing signed by the Party granting the waiver. There are no implied waivers. Failure by City or Owner to insist upon the strict performance of any provision of this Agreement, irrespective of the length of time for which such failure continues, shall not constitute a waiver of the right to demand strict compliance with this Agreement in the future.
A written waiver affects only the specific matter waived and defines the performance waived and the duration of the waiver. Unless expressly stated in a written waiver, future performance of the same or any other condition is not waived.
A Party who complies with the notice of Default and opportunity to cure requirements of Section 12.2, where applicable, and elects to pursue a legal or equitable remedy available under this Agreement does not waive its right 2226
60367.00001\45389844.2
113759\19836846v3
25 to pursue any other remedy available under this Agreement, unless prohibited by statute, court rules, or judicial precedent.

PUBLIC BENEFITS
In addition to complying with the Project conditions of approval, Owner has committed by this Agreement to contribute to the City for, among other things, certain "Public Benefits." Owner shall make contributions to the City, as follows:
1. City Public Benefit Fee. Owner shall pay a one-time City Public Benefit Fee in the amount of Two Million Fifty-Seven Thousand, Six Hundred Fifty-One Dollars and No Cents ($2,057,651.00). This fee is inclusive of any and all park in-lieu fee required under the Quimby Act and/or Aliso Viejo Municipal Code Chapter 14.16. Because this fee is an obligation arising from a Development Agreement, it is not subject to the Mitigation Fee Act. This Agreement does not limit the purposes for which the City may use City Public Benefit Fees, and the use and timing of such use of City Public Benefit Fees shall be entirely within the City’s sole and absolute discretion.
2. Payment of the full City Public Benefit Fee shall be made to the City prior to the issuance of any permit for the Project. No permit shall be issued until the City has received the full payment and has confirmed compliance with all applicable fee requirements. The City shall have no obligation to issue any permit until and unless such payment is received in full, and any delay resulting from non-payment shall be solely the responsibility of the Owner.
3. To the extent that Owner not has paid to City the entirety of the Public Benefit Fee within the first three years of this Agreement, for any reason, any and all remaining portion of the City Public Benefit Fee shall be increased, annually, on the anniversary date of the Agreement starting in the fourth year of the Agreement and continuing every subsequent year of the Agreement’s term. The City Public Benefit Fee shall be increased by a percentage set by the Consumer Price Index, which is defined at the Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U), published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of Labor for Los-Angeles-RiversideOrange County, All Items (1982-84=100) and utilizing the prior calendar year’s average as the annual average. If this Index is discontinued, the Parties shall use any other renamed national index covering the Aliso Viejo metropolitan areas or any other successor or substitute index appropriately adjusted. In no event shall the City Public Benefit Fee be reduced.

Developer acknowledges and agrees that the concessions, incentives, and waivers set forth in Section 2.6 and 2.7 fully satisfy City’s duty to grant a density bonus and any other incentive, concession, or waiver of any building, zoning, or other requirement in connection with the Project, State Density Bonus Law, and the City’s Density Bonus Ordinance. Additionally, Developer acknowledges and agrees that Developer has not requested, and the Project is not receiving, an increase in density under State Density Bonus Law or City’s Density Bonus Ordinance. By way of this Agreement, Developer releases any and all claims Developer may have against City in any way relating to or arising from City’s satisfaction of its obligations under Government Code section 65915 with respect to the Project.
2.9 Permits and Processing; Compliance with Laws. Developer, at its sole cost and expense, or as otherwise set forth in a separate written agreement, shall secure or cause to be secured any and all permits that may be required for development of the Project by City or any other federal, state, or local governmental entity having or claiming jurisdiction over the Property or Project. Upon securing any and all permits, Developer shall carry out and perform the development of the Project, or cause the performance of the development of the Project, in conformity with all applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations, and all conditions of approval issued by City, including the Project Approvals. If any changes to the Project materially alter Developer’s ability to comply with any terms of this Agreement, in City’s reasonable determination, then City and Developer shall meet and confer to address amendments and revisions to this Agreement as necessary.
2.10 Relocation Prior to Development of Project. If relocation is required prior to the completion of development of the Project, Developer shall have the sole and exclusive responsibility for providing relocation assistance and paying all relocation costs as may be required to comply with applicable federal and state laws and regulations. In addition to any other indemnity provided by Developer under this Agreement, Developer shall indemnify, defend (with counsel of City's choosing and the consent of Developer, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, and which may be joint defense counsel upon City's and Developer's consent), and hold harmless City and all of its officials, officers, employees, representatives, volunteers and agents from any and all alleged or actual claims, causes of action, liabilities, and damages from any third party for relocation assistance, benefits and costs prior to the completion of the development of the Project.
2.11 Mechanic's Liens; Indemnification. Prior to the closing of the sale of an Affordable Unit, Developer shall take all actions necessary to remove any then-existing mechanic's liens or other similar liens (including design professional liens) against the Property, the Project, or any part thereof, by reason of work, labor, services, or materials supplied or claimed to have been supplied to Developer or caused by, at the direction of, or on behalf of Developer. Prior to the recording of this Agreement pursuant to Section 3.1 below, Developer shall provide evidence from a reputable title company of any new recordings against the Property or Project. City hereby reserves all rights to post notices of non-responsibility and any other notices as may be appropriate upon a filing of a mechanic's lien. In addition to any other indemnity provided by Developer under this Agreement, Developer shall indemnify, defend (with counsel of Developer’s choosing and reasonably approved by City), and hold harmless City and all of its officials, officers, employees, representatives, volunteers and agents from any and all alleged or actual claims, causes of action, liabilities, and damages from any third party by reason of a mechanic's lien or work, labor, services, 2246
60367.00001\45453422.1
6 113759\19836854v3
or materials supplied or claimed to have been supplied to Developer or caused by, at the direction of, or on behalf of Developer. The provisions of this Section 2.11 survive termination of this Agreement.
3. RECORDING OF AGREEMENT
3.1 Recording. Prior to the issuance of any building permit for the Project, Developer shall record or shall cause to be recorded in the Official Records for Orange County, California, an executed original of this Agreement. City shall cooperate with Developer in promptly executing this Agreement in recordable form.
4. SALE OF UNITS
4.1 Conveyance of Units. Developer may construct and convey title to the Units at any time after the Effective Date, in accordance with this Agreement, the Project Approvals, and any and all federal, state, and local laws and regulations. Developer may offer to sell some or all Units in phases or all at once in Developer’s discretion, provided Developer’s sale complies with applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations. Developer shall convey title to each Affordable Unit through a purchase and sale agreement to be processed through an escrow. Upon City’s request, Developer shall deliver to City a copy of the purchase and sale agreement and preliminary title report for the conveyance of an Affordable Unit.
4.2 Notice to City. Developer shall provide City with no less than 60 days written notice prior to the date that Developer intends to commence activities to market, offer, or sell the Affordable Units.
4.3 Designation of Affordable Units. Prior to commencement of any activities to market, offer, or sell the Units, Developer shall designate the 3 Units as Affordable Units.
Developer’s notice to City under Section 4.2 above shall disclose to City which Units Developer has designated as the Affordable Units. [NOTE: AS AN ALTERNATIVE, WE CAN PREDESIGNATE NOW AND CHANGE THIS SECITON TO READ AS FOLLOWS:
“Developer has designated Units 53, 54, and 55 as Affordable Units.”]
4.4 Sale of Affordable Units. Developer shall sell each Affordable Unit at no more than the Affordable Housing Cost and only to a buyer that qualifies as a Qualified Purchaser. So that City may verify the amount is not more than the Affordable Housing Cost, Developer shall provide written notice to City of the sale price of each Affordable Unit prior to offering for sale the Affordable Unit. City verification shall be provided within 30 days of City’s receipt of Developer’s written notice of the proposed sale price. Developer shall sell each Affordable Unit only to those who qualify as a Qualified Purchaser, as determined pursuant to Sections 4.5 and 4.6.
Developer shall not knowingly convey title to any Affordable Unit to a Household that does not qualify as a Very Low Income Household, and Developer shall not convey fee title to any Affordable Unit to a Very Low Income Household at a price that exceeds the Affordable Housing Cost for that Affordable Unit.
4.5 Income Verification. The proposed purchaser of an Affordable Unit shall provide and certify, for the purpose of City approval, the following information: the Social Security Number of the proposed purchaser; copies of the federal and state income tax returns filed 2247
60367.00001\45453422.1
7 113759\19836854v3
by the proposed purchaser for the prior two calendar years; preceding six months of bank statements of the proposed purchaser; background documentation of any income (e.g., Social Security award letter, stock interest forms, court statement regarding support payments, retirement or pension benefit statement, etc.); copies of the two most current wage earning statements of the proposed purchaser; the purchase price that the proposed purchaser intends to pay for the Affordable Unit; and any other information that City may reasonably require to verify the income of the proposed purchaser. The proposed purchaser of an Affordable Unit shall also provide, for the purpose of City approval, a written statement signed by the proposed purchaser (in a form acceptable to City) that authorizes City to inspect, use, and rely on the information provided by the proposed purchaser, and waives and releases any right or claim that said proposed purchaser might otherwise have in the absence of such written authorization to maintain the privacy or confidentiality of such information. The information, statements, agreements, and other documents that a proposed purchaser is required to provide pursuant to this section 4.5 are collectively the “Income Verification Materials.” Developer shall have the obligation to collect and compile all Income Verification Materials from a proposed purchaser of an Affordable Unit. Developer shall be responsible for working with the proposed purchaser to compile all required Income Verification Materials to be submitted to the City for approval, which may be accomplished by Developer contracting with a third-party consultant to provide such services.
4.6 City Verification. Developer shall not convey fee title to any Affordable Units to a proposed purchaser until such time as City has determined (i) the proposed purchaser intends to occupy the Affordable Unit as a principal residence; (ii) the proposed purchaser is a Very Low Income Household; (iii) the purchase price for the Affordable Unit does not exceed the Affordable Housing Cost; (iv) the proposed purchaser and City have executed the Equity Sharing Agreement, the proposed purchaser has executed the City Note and the City Deed of Trust, and the Equity Sharing Agreement and City Deed of Trust are both in a recordable form; and (v) the proposed conveyance will not otherwise violate the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Developer shall reasonably cooperate with City in its determination of the matters set forth in clauses (i)-(v) herein and Developer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any City determination regarding Developer’s compliance with this Section 4.6. City shall respond to a request from Developer for verification of the matters in clauses (i)-(v) herein by written notice, which shall be delivered to Developer within 30 days of City’s receipt of all Income Verification Materials and all other information and documents reasonably required by City to make the determinations described in clauses (i) through (v). If City is unable to verify the proposed purchaser’s income as provided herein, then the prospective purchaser’s income shall be deemed to exceed the maximum allowable limit for a Very Low Income Household. If City determines a proposed conveyance would violate this Agreement, City shall specify the reasons for the violation. If the proposed violation is not corrected to the satisfaction of City within 30 days after the date of the notice specifying the violation, or within such further time as City determines in its sole and absolute discretion is necessary to correct said violation, Developer shall not convey title to the proposed purchaser. City may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for specific performance of this Agreement, for a declaration that the proposed conveyance is void, or for any such relief as may be appropriate under law or equity.
4.7 Quality Standards for Affordable Units. At the time of conveyance of an Affordable Unit from Developer to a Qualified Purchaser, the physical condition and quality of the Affordable Unit shall be in the same physical condition and of the same quality (as to standard features, but 2248
60367.00001\45453422.1
8 113759\19836854v3
not upgrades) as the other Market Rate Units of the same model and size that Developer has offered for sale.
4.8 Execution of Equity Sharing Agreement and City Note; Recording the Equity Sharing Agreement and City Deed of Trust. Developer shall cause the Equity Sharing Agreement, the City Note, and the City Deed of Trust, together with all attachments thereto, to be duly executed with the Equity Sharing Agreement and City Deed of Trust executed in recordable form. At the close of escrow, the escrow agent handling the conveyance shall record, or cause to be recorded, the instruments effectuating the conveyance of the Affordable Unit in the Official Records of Orange County, California, including the grant deed conveying title to the Qualified Purchaser, the Equity Sharing Agreement, the City Deed of Trust, and any other instruments necessary to consummate the conveyance and establish the intended priority of liens and encumbrances under this Agreement, the Equity Sharing Agreement, and the City Deed of Trust. Upon recordation, the Equity Sharing Agreement shall run with the Affordable Unit and the City Deed of Trust shall constitute a lien against the Affordable Unit. City shall cooperate with Developer and each Qualified Purchaser in executing the Equity Sharing Agreement and any other documents requiring City’s execution so that such documents may be delivered into escrow for recording at the close of escrow.
4.9 Sale of Units; Indemnification. In addition to any other indemnification provided in this Agreement, Developer shall indemnify, defend (with counsel of Developer’s choosing and reasonably approved by City), and hold harmless City and its officials, officers, employees, representatives, agents, and volunteers (collectively, “Indemnitees”) from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, or losses alleged or made against Indemnitees by any person or entity for any alleged or actual violation by Developer of any federal, state, or local law or regulation in connection with the sale by Developer of the Units or otherwise arising from any act or omission of Developer in violation of this Section 4, except in each instance to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any of the Indemnitees. The provisions of this Section
4.9 survive termination of this Agreement.
4.10 Qualified Purchaser Marketing and Orientation. Developer shall be responsible for marketing the Affordable Units to potential Qualified Purchasers. Developer shall coordinate with designated City staff for the marketing plan of any Affordable Units. As part of the marketing plan, before the Qualified Purchaser executes the Equity Sharing Agreement and in all events before the close of escrow for the applicable Affordable Unit, City shall provide to the Qualified Purchaser of the Affordable Unit an in-person, informational session that will explain, in plain and simple language, the resale restrictions and other provisions of the Equity Sharing Agreement. Upon completion of the informational session, City shall cause the Qualified Purchaser to execute an agreement, in a form approved by City, acknowledging the Qualified Purchaser’s attendance at the informational session and providing for the Qualified Purchaser’s waiver and release of Developer and City from any claims or causes of action related to the restrictions on the marketability of the Affordable Unit, provided that the Qualified Purchaser represents that they understand the restrictions on marketability.
4.11 Transfer to Qualified Nonprofit Housing Corporation. If, despite bona fide good faith documented marketing efforts, Developer is unable to locate a Qualified Purchaser to purchase an Affordable Unit within 180 calendar days after the issuance of a certificate of 2249
60367.00001\45453422.1
9 113759\19836854v3
occupancy for such Affordable Unit, Developer may sell or otherwise transfer such Affordable Unit to a qualified nonprofit housing corporation that meets all of the requirements set forth in Government Code section 65915(c)(2)(A)(ii) and any other applicable provisions of state law, which sale or transfer shall satisfy the requirements of this Agreement applicable to Developer. If Developer sells or otherwise transfers an Affordable Unit pursuant to this Section 4.11, City and Developer shall reasonably cooperate in executing such amendments to this Agreement, and any other documents executed in connection herewith, as may be reasonably necessary to reflect such sale or transfer and to implement the requirements of Government Code section 65915 applicable thereto.
5. TERM
5.1 Term. The term of this Agreement commences on the Effective Date and will continue until all of the Affordable Units have been conveyed to Qualified Purchasers and (i) each Qualified Purchaser has entered into a fully executed Equity Sharing Agreement with City in recordable form; (ii) each Qualified Purchaser has executed a City Note and City Deed of Trust in favor of City; and (iii) all of the Equity Sharing Agreements and City Deeds of Trust for all Affordable Units have been recorded. Developer shall provide, upon City’s request, evidence that Equity Sharing Agreements and the City Deeds of Trust have been recorded for all of the Affordable Units. Termination of this Agreement shall not affect the continued validity or enforceability of any Equity Sharing Agreement, City Note, or City Deed of Trust executed in connection with an Affordable Unit. Nor shall termination of this Agreement affect any rights or remedies arising from a breach occurring before termination.
6. DEFAULT AND TERMINATION; INDEMNIFICATION
6.1 Default. Failure or delay by any Party to perform any term or provision of this Agreement that is not cured within 30 days after receipt of notice from the other Party specifying the default (or such other period specifically provided herein) constitutes a default under this Agreement; provided, however, if such default is of the nature requiring more than 30 days to cure, the defaulting Party shall avoid default hereunder by commencing to cure within such 30 day period, and thereafter diligently pursuing such cure to completion within an additional 60 days following the conclusion of such 30 day period (for a total of 90 days). Except as required to protect against further damages, the injured Party may not institute proceedings against the Party in default until the time for cure has expired. Failure or delay in giving such notice shall not constitute a waiver of any default, nor shall it change the time of default.
6.2 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. The rights and remedies of the Parties are cumulative, and the exercise by either Party of one or more of its rights or remedies shall not preclude the exercise by it, at the same or different times, of any other rights or remedies for the same default or any other default by the other Party.
6.3 Indemnification. In addition to any other indemnity specifically provided in this Agreement, Developer agrees to defend (with counsel of Developer’s choosing and reasonably approved by City), indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnitees from and against any loss, liability, claim, or judgment arising from or related to any act or omission of Developer in connection with its obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent caused by the gross 2250
60367.00001\45453422.1
10 113759\19836854v3
negligence or willful misconduct of any of the Indemnitees. The provisions of this Section 6.3 survive the termination of this Agreement.
7. ASSIGNMENT; COVENANTS RUN WITH THE LAND
7.1 Assignment by Developer. Developer will comply with the Project Approvals in connection with any sale, transfer, or assignment of the Property or Project in whole or part, or any transfer or assignment of Developer’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.
7.2 Covenants Run with the Land. The Property shall be used, occupied, and improved subject to the covenants, conditions, and restrictions set forth herein. The covenants, conditions, restrictions, reservations, equitable servitudes, liens and charges set forth in this Agreement shall run with the Property and shall be binding upon Developer and all persons having any right, title or interest in the Property, or any part thereof, their heirs, and successive owners and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of City and its successors and assigns, and may be enforced by City and its successors and assigns. The covenants established in this Agreement shall, without regard to technical classification and designation, be binding for the benefit and in favor of City and its successors and assigns, and the parties hereto expressly agree that this Agreement and the covenants herein shall run in favor of City. City is deemed the beneficiary of the terms and provisions of this Agreement and of the covenants running with the land, for and in its own right and for the purposes of protecting the interests of the community and other parties, public or private, in whose favor and for whose benefit this Agreement and the covenants running with the land have been provided. Developer hereby declares its understanding and intent that the burden of the covenants set forth herein touch and concern the land and that Developer's interest in the Property may be rendered less valuable thereby. Developer hereby further declares its understanding and intent that this Agreement provides a public benefit and that the covenants set forth herein touch and concern the Property by furthering the health, safety, and welfare of the residents of the City. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary: (a) in the event that Developer transfers its interest in the Property to a successor, Developer shall have no further obligation or liability under this Agreement except to the extent arising out of a default by Developer under this Agreement that existed at the time of such transfer; and (b) this Agreement shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect, without any additional instrument or other action required, as to each of the Market Rate Units upon the closing of the sale of each such Market Rate Unit to the initial purchaser thereof.

BRANDYWINE ACQUISITION GROUP, LLC, a California limited liability company, (“Developer”), applied for and received development entitlements from City for the development of a 58 unit residential project (“Project”). 3 units within the Project will be designated affordable units for Very Low Income Households (“Affordable Units”).
B. Pursuant to Government Code section 65915 et seq. (“State Density Bonus Law”), projects that include specified levels of affordable housing are entitled to receive certain density bonuses and other incentives to facilitate the economic feasibility of those projects.
C. In accordance with State Density Bonus Law, Developer has proposed to sell 3 dwelling units in the Project to Very Low Income Households and requested 2 concessions and 1 waiver in order to accommodate the Project.
D. On [date], City and Developer entered into that certain “Density Bonus Housing Agreement” pursuant to which Developer agreed to provide the Affordable Units. 2262

E. Buyer intends to purchase the property located at [ADDRESS] in the City of Aliso Viejo, California, County of Orange (“Property”). The Property, which is one of the Affordable Units, is more particularly described in Exhibit A-1.
F. To comply with the requirements of the Density Bonus Housing Agreement, Developer agrees to sell the Property to Buyer for a purchase price of $[insert] (“Original Purchase Price”). Buyer and City agree that the fair market value of the Property at time of purchase is $[insert] (“Original Fair Market Value”), which price is based on an appraisal conducted at the time of the purchase of the Property by Buyer, or such other method as agreed to by City and Buyer. The Original Purchase Price has been reduced from fair market value as a direct result of the requirements imposed by City on the Project pursuant to the Density Bonus Housing Agreement. City and Buyer acknowledge that the difference between the Original Fair Market Value and the Original Purchase Price, which is equal to $[insert], is a subsidy from City that has enabled Buyer to acquire the Property at an affordable price (“City Subsidy”).
G. State Density Bonus Law requires City to enter into an agreement with the purchaser of any affordable dwelling unit constructed and sold in exchange for such density bonus that allows City to recapture any initial subsidy and its proportionate share of appreciation. Buyer has agreed to execute and comply with this Equity Sharing Agreement in compliance with such requirements in consideration of the opportunity to purchase the Property at an affordable price, which is below the fair market value of the Property.
H. The purpose of this Equity Sharing Agreement is to: (i) place controls on ownership and occupancy of the Property; (ii) provide City with a First Option when Owner intends to Transfer the Property and preserve City’s rights in the event of foreclosure; and (iii) require payment of the City Subsidy and a share of the Property’s appreciation to City in accordance with the State Density Bonus Law. In accordance with the foregoing, Owner shall execute a promissory note in favor of City (“City Note”) to ensure the repayment of the City Subsidy and the City Shared Appreciation, as defined in Section 8(a). The form of the City Note is attached hereto as Exhibit B-1.
I. Buyer is receiving a first mortgage loan (“First Mortgage Loan”) from [lender name] (“First Lender”). The First Mortgage Loan is secured by a deed of trust dated [insert], executed by Buyer in favor of First Lender and recorded in the County of Orange concurrently herewith (“First Mortgage Deed of Trust”).
J. This Equity Sharing Agreement and the City Note shall be secured by a deed of trust on the Property (“City Deed of Trust”). The form of the City Deed of Trust is attached hereto as Exhibit C-1. This Equity Sharing Agreement and the City Deed of Trust shall be subordinate to the lien of the First Mortgage Deed of Trust.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the benefits received by Buyer and City hereunder, Buyer and City agree as follows:

3. BUYER CERTIFICATIONS; OWNER OCCUPANCY REQUIREMENT
a. Owner Occupancy Requirement. The purpose of the City assistance provided pursuant to this Equity Sharing Agreement is to provide Buyer with the opportunity to become a homeowner. Investment in real estate is not the primary purpose of this Equity Sharing Agreement.

4. INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS
Buyer shall maintain insurance on the Property in accordance with Section 5 of the City Deed of Trust.
5. RESTRICTIONS ON RESALE OF THE PROPERTY
Any Transfer of the Property will be subject to the provisions of this Agreement. “Transfer” means any sale, assignment or transfer, voluntary or involuntary, of any interest in the Property, including, but not limited to, a fee simple interest, a joint tenancy interest, a life estate, a leasehold interest, an interest evidenced by a land contract by which possession of the Property is transferred and Owner retains title, or a deed of trust. Any Transfer without satisfaction of the provisions of this Agreement is prohibited and shall constitute a default by Owner for which City may exercise any and all remedies under this Agreement, the City Note and the City Deed of Trust.
A Transfer shall not include a conveyance: (i) to an existing spouse or domestic partner; (ii) by an Owner to a spouse or domestic partner where the spouse or domestic partner becomes the coowner of the Property; (iii) between spouses as part of a marriage dissolution proceeding; (iv) by Owner into an inter vivos trust in which Owner is the beneficiary; or (v) refinance of the First Mortgage Loan meeting the requirements of Section 17; provided, however, that Owner shall provide written notice to City of all such conveyances within 30 days of the conveyance and Owner shall continue to occupy the Property as Owner’s principal place of residence (except where the conveyance occurs pursuant to subsection (iii) above, in which event the new owner shall occupy the Property and affirmatively assume Owner’s obligations under this Agreement, the City Note, and the City Deed of Trust).
6. NOTICE OF INTENDED TRANSFER; CITY’S FIRST OPTION;
PREPARATION OF PROPERTY FOR SALE
a. Notice of Intent to Transfer. If Owner intends to Transfer the Property, Owner shall promptly give City written notice of such intent (“Owner’s Notice of Intent to Transfer”). Owner shall give City the Owner’s Notice of Intent to Transfer prior to notifying real estate brokers or lenders of Owner’s intent to Transfer the Property and prior to listing of the Property on the Multiple Listing Service. The Owner’s Notice of Intent to Transfer shall be sent to City by certified 2265
60367.00001\45453422.1
-7-
113759\19836854v3
mail, return receipt requested at the address provided in Section 22 below. The Owner’s Notice of Intent to Transfer shall include the information necessary for City to determine the City Shared Appreciation of the Property, including the following information:
(1) The address of the Property;
(2) The date of purchase of the Property by Owner;
(3) The Original Fair Market Value of the Property at the time of Owner’s purchase as determined by City and Owner and set forth on the first page of this Equity Sharing Agreement;
(4) A copy of the HUD-1 Settlement Statement or equivalent document from the close of escrow on Owner’s purchase of the Property; (5) If Owner has made capital improvements to the Property that Owner wishes to have recognized as Eligible Capital Improvements for purposes of determining the amount payable to City under Section 8, Owner shall provide a description of the improvements, the date the improvements were made, a copy of City’s prior written approval of the improvements (if obtained), evidence of the cost of the improvements, and an appraisal documenting the value added to the Property by the Eligible Capital Improvements. If Owner did not obtain City's prior written approval before making the Capital Improvements, Owner may nevertheless identify such capital improvements in the Notice of Intent to Transfer and request that City recognize them as Eligible Capital Improvements. City shall recognize the improvements as Eligible Capital Improvements if City reasonably determines, based upon documentation provided by Owner, that the improvements satisfy the requirements of Section 8.b. The value of any improvements recognized by City as Eligible Capital Improvements shall be determined pursuant to Section 8.b;
(6) The date the Property will be placed on the market; (7) The name and phone number of the person to contact to schedule inspection of the Property by City; and
(8) The proposed sale price and other material terms upon which Owner proposes to sell the Property.
b. Fair Market Value Appraisal. Prior to the Transfer of the Property, the Fair Market Value of the Property at the time of Transfer shall be determined by a certified MAI or other qualified real estate appraiser approved in advance by City. If possible, the appraisal shall be based upon the sales prices of comparable properties sold in the market area during the preceding three month period. The cost of the appraisal shall be paid by Owner, unless the appraisal is obtained from a new purchaser. Further, in the event that Owner has made Eligible Capital Improvements, the value of which Owner wishes to retain, the appraisal shall determine the value of such Eligible Capital Improvements in accordance with Section 8.b below. Nothing in this section precludes 2266
60367.00001\45453422.1
-8-
113759\19836854v3
Owner and City from establishing the Fair Market Value of the Property at the time of Transfer by mutual agreement in lieu of an appraisal pursuant to this section. c. City’s First Option. Upon receipt of a complete Owner’s Notice of Intent to Transfer, City shall have the first right to purchase the Property. The purchase price payable by City shall equal the Fair Market Value of the Property determined pursuant to subsection (b), less the City Subsidy and City Shared Appreciation that would be payable to City under Section 8 if the Property were Transferred to a person other than City (the “Option Purchase Price”). Except for the determination and payment of the Option Purchase Price as provided herein, City shall purchase the Property on the material terms specified in the Owner’s Notice of Intent to Transfer, to the extent those terms are applicable to City’s purchase and are not inconsistent with this Equity Sharing Agreement. City shall have such right and option (“First Option”) for 45 days after City receives a complete Owner’s Notice of Intent to Transfer. If not timely exercised, the First Option shall terminate. If City exercises the First Option, the purchase shall close through escrow within 60 days after City’s exercise, or on such other date as City and Owner may agree in writing. Upon the closing of City’s purchase pursuant to the First Option, the City Subsidy and City Shared Appreciation shall be credited against the Fair Market Value of the Property in determining the Option Purchase Price and shall be deemed paid and satisfied through the credit. The parties intend that the Option Purchase Price permit Owner to retain the value of any Eligible Capital Improvements, Owner’s downpayment, and Owner’s proportionate share of appreciation, while permitting City to recapture its initial subsidy and proportionate share of appreciation, in accordance with Government Code section 65915(c)(2)(C).
7. SALE OF PROPERTY BY OWNER
a. Subject to Section 6.c above, Owner may Transfer the Property to a person of Owner’s choosing at an unrestricted price (supported by an MAI or other qualified appraisal), and City shall release the Equity Sharing Agreement and cause the City Deed of Trust to be reconveyed from the Property, provided that Owner pays the full amount owed under the City Note to the City pursuant to Section 8 below. Owner shall provide City with the following documentation associated with such a Transfer:
(1) The name and address of the purchaser;
(2) The final sales contract and all other related documents which shall set forth all the terms of the sale of the Property, including a HUD-1 Settlement Statement or equivalent document. Said documents shall include at least the following terms: (a) the sales price; and (b) the price to be paid by the purchaser for Owner’s personal property, if any, for the services of Owner, if any, and any credits, allowances or other consideration, if any. (3) A written certification, from Owner and the purchaser in a form acceptable to City that the sale shall be closed in accordance with the terms of the sales contract and other documents submitted to and approved by City. The certification shall also provide that the purchaser or any other party has not paid and will not pay to Owner, and Owner has not received and will not 2267
60367.00001\45453422.1
-9-
113759\19836854v3
receive from the purchaser or any other party, money or other consideration, including personal property, in addition to what is set forth in the sales contract and documents submitted to City. The written certification shall also include a provision that in the event a Transfer is made in violation of the terms of this Equity Sharing Agreement or false or misleading statements are made in any documents or certification submitted to City, City shall have the right to foreclose on the Property or file an action at law or in equity as may be appropriate. In any event, any costs, liabilities or obligations incurred by Owner and the purchaser for the return of any moneys paid or received in violation of this Equity Sharing Agreement or for any costs and legal expenses, shall be borne by Owner and/or the purchaser and they shall hold City and its designee harmless and reimburse their expenses, legal fees and costs for any action they reasonably take in good faith in enforcing the terms of this Equity Sharing Agreement. (4) A copy of the MAI or other qualified appraisal prepared for the Property in accordance with Section 6.b.
(5) Upon the close of the proposed sale, a copy of the final sales contract, HUD1 Settlement Statement or equivalent document, escrow instructions, and any other documents which City may reasonably request.
8. PAYMENT TO CITY OF CITY SUBSIDY AND SHARED APPRECIATION a. Upon a Transfer of the Property to a person other than City pursuant to Section 7, Owner shall pay to City the City Subsidy plus the City Shared Appreciation. The “City Subsidy,” as defined in Recital F, is equal to the amount by which the Original Fair Market Value of the Property exceeds the Original Purchase Price of the Property. For purposes of this Section 8, “Adjusted Fair Market Value” means the Fair Market Value of the Property at the time of Transfer, less the value of any Eligible Capital Improvements determined pursuant to Section 8.b. “City Shared Appreciation” shall be calculated pursuant to the City Note but by way of information the following sets forth the method for determining the City Shared Appreciation. If there is any inconsistency between the City Note and this Equity Sharing Agreement with respect to the determination of City Shared Appreciation, the City Note shall control. City Shared Appreciation shall be calculated by dividing the City Subsidy by the Original Fair Market Value of the Property. The resulting percentage, rounded to the closest one-tenth of a percentage point, shall be multiplied by the amount, if any, by which the Adjusted Fair Market Value exceeds the Original Fair Market Value, and the resulting product shall equal the City Shared Appreciation.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Adjusted Fair Market Value is lower than the Original Fair Market Value, the amount payable to City shall instead be determined in accordance with subsection (d).
b. The value of any Eligible Capital Improvements shall be the value of any substantial structural or permanent fixed improvements that Owner has made to the Property after acquiring the Property, provided that such improvements are: (i) made or installed by Owner in conformity with applicable building codes at the time of installation; and (ii) approved or recognized by City in writing, either before construction or pursuant to Section 6.a.5. The value of 2268
60367.00001\45453422.1
-10-
113759\19836854v3
Eligible Capital Improvements shall be limited to the appraised increase in the value of the Property attributable to the improvements, as determined by the appraisal performed pursuant to
6.b, taking into account any depreciation in value since the installation, and shall not be based on the actual cost of constructing the improvements.
c. The City Subsidy and the City Shared Appreciation shall be a debt of Owner to City, evidenced by this Equity Sharing Agreement and the City Note, and secured by the City Deed of Trust. Owner acknowledges that City shall have no obligation to release this Equity Sharing Agreement or reconvey the City Deed of Trust until the City Subsidy and the City Shared Appreciation are paid to City. City shall utilize the repayment of the City Subsidy and the City Shared Appreciation within five years of receipt of such funds for any of the purposes described in subdivision (e) of section 33334.2 of the Health and Safety Code that promote homeownership. d. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8, if the Adjusted Fair Market Value is lower than the Original Fair Market Value, the Adjusted Fair Market Value shall be used as the initial market value for purposes of determining the City Subsidy, and the amounts payable to City shall otherwise be calculated in accordance with Government Code section 65915(c)(2)(C), as amended from time to time. In no event shall the amount payable to City under this subsection be less than zero.
9. DEFAULTS
a. The following events shall constitute a “Default” by Owner under this Equity Sharing Agreement:
(1) City determines that Owner has made a misrepresentation to obtain the benefits of purchase of the Property or in connection with its obligations under this Equity Sharing Agreement;
(2) Owner fails to occupy the Property as required pursuant to Section 3 above; (3) Owner makes a Transfer in violation of this Equity Sharing Agreement; (4) Owner otherwise fails to comply with the requirements of this Equity Sharing Agreement, the City Note, or the City Deed of Trust and such violation is not corrected to the satisfaction of City within 10 days after the date of written notice by City to Owner of such violation; (5) A lien is recorded against the Property other than the First Mortgage Deed of Trust, the City Deed of Trust, a lien in favor of City, a lien for nondelinquent taxes or assessments, or any other lien approved by City in writing;
(6) Owner places a mortgage on the Property in violation of Section 17 below; (7) Owner declares a bankruptcy or makes an assignment of assets for the benefit of creditors.
2269
60367.00001\45453422.1
-11-
113759\19836854v3
b. Upon a declaration of Default by City under this Equity Sharing Agreement, City may pursue any or all of the following remedies:
(1) Subject to all applicable notice and cure requirements under the City Note and the City Deed of Trust, declare the City Subsidy and City Shared Appreciation immediately due and payable without further demand, declare a default under the City Note, and invoke the power of sale under the City Deed of Trust;
(2) Apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for any such relief at law or in equity as may be appropriate including, but not limited to, the collection of damages from Owner, which damages shall include City’s costs associated with administering City’s affordable housing program and the cost to City of providing sufficient assistance to a Very Low Income Household to acquire a market rate home at an affordable housing cost as that term is defined in Health and Safety Code section 50052.5; and
(3) Declare a Default under the City Note and City Deed of Trust and pursue all City remedies thereunder.

a. City may record a request for copies of any notice of default and notice of sale under any mortgage encumbering the Property. City may declare a Default under this Equity Sharing Agreement upon receipt of any notice given to City pursuant to Civil Code section 2924b, and may exercise its rights as provided in Section 9.
b. In the event of default and foreclosure, City shall have the same right as Owner to cure defaults and redeem the Property prior to the foreclosure sale. Nothing herein shall be construed as creating any obligation of City to cure any such default, nor shall this right to cure and redeem operate to extend any time limitations in the default provisions of the underlying deed of trust or mortgage.
c. Whether or not City has recorded a request pursuant to subsection (a), City may exercise its rights under this Section upon City’s actual receipt of written notice of the foreclosure proceedings from Owner, the First Lender, or any other source. Nothing in this Section shall limit City's right to bid at, acquire, or otherwise protect its interest in the Property through any foreclosure sale or any other remedy available under applicable law.
11. NON-LIABILITY OF CITY
a. Non-liability for Negligence, Loss, or Damage. Owner acknowledges, understands and agrees that the relationship between Owner and City is solely that of an owner and an administrator of a City affordable housing program, and that City does not undertake or assume any responsibility for or duty to Owner to select, review, inspect, supervise, pass judgment on, or inform Owner of the quality, adequacy or suitability of the Property or any other matter. City owes no duty of care to protect Owner against negligent, faulty, inadequate or defective building or 2270
60367.00001\45453422.1
-12-
113759\19836854v3
construction or any condition of the Property and Owner agrees that neither Owner, or Owner’s heirs, successors or assigns shall ever claim, have or assert any right or action against City for any loss, damage or other matter arising out of or resulting from any condition of the Property and will hold City harmless from any liability, loss or damage for these things. b. Indemnity. Owner agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold City harmless from all losses, damages, liabilities, claims, actions, judgments, costs, and reasonable attorney’s fees that City may incur as a direct or indirect consequence of: (1) Owner’s default, performance, or failure to perform any obligations as and when required by this Equity Sharing Agreement or the City Deed of Trust; or (2) the failure at any time of any of Owner’s representations to City to be true and correct.
12. RESTRICTIONS ON FORECLOSURE PROCEEDS
Subject to the rights of senior lienholders, any proceeds arising from a foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure, or other involuntary Transfer that would otherwise be payable to Owner shall first be applied to the amounts owed to City under the City Note, and only the remaining balance, if any, shall be payable to Owner.
13. RESTRICTION ON INSURANCE PROCEEDS
If the Property is damaged or destroyed and Owner elects not to rebuild or repair the Property, Owner shall pay City the portion of any insurance proceeds received by Owner for such destruction or damage which is equal to the City Subsidy plus the City Shared Appreciation calculated pursuant to Section 8 above, with the total amount of insurance proceeds serving as the Fair Market Value upon Transfer of the Property, provided that in no event shall City receive insurance proceeds in an amount that results in the amount of insurance proceeds available to Owner being less than the Original Purchase Price for the Property as set forth above.
14. TERM OF AGREEMENT
All the provisions of this Equity Sharing Agreement, including the benefits and burdens, run with the Property and this Equity Sharing Agreement shall bind, and the benefit hereof shall inure to, Owner, Owner’s heirs, legal representatives, executors, successors in interest and assigns, and to City and its successors, until the earliest to occur of: (i) the Transfer of the Property and payment to City of the City Subsidy and the City Shared Appreciation in accordance with this Agreement and the City Note, (ii) the closing of City’s purchase of the Property pursuant to City’s exercise of the First Option under Section 6.c, or (iii) termination under Section 16 following foreclosure or deed in lieu.
15. SUPERIORITY OF AGREEMENT
Owner covenants that Owner has not, and will not, execute any other agreement with provisions contradictory to or in opposition to the provisions hereof, and that, in any event, except as otherwise provided herein, this Equity Sharing Agreement is controlling as to the rights and obligations between and among Owner and City and their respective successors. 2271
60367.00001\45453422.1
-13-
113759\19836854v3
16. SUBORDINATION
a. Notwithstanding any provision herein, this Equity Sharing Agreement shall not diminish or affect the rights of the First Lender under the First Mortgage Deed of Trust or any subsequent First Lender deeds of trust hereafter recorded against the Property in compliance with Section 17 below.
b. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the provisions of this Equity Sharing Agreement and the City Deed of Trust shall be subordinate to the lien of the First Mortgage Deed of Trust and shall not impair the rights of the First Lender, or such First Lender’s assignees or successors in interest to exercise their remedies under the First Mortgage Deed of Trust in the event of default under the First Mortgage Deed of Trust by Owner. Such remedies under the First Mortgage Deed of Trust include the right of foreclosure or acceptance of a deed or assignment in lieu of foreclosure. After such foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, this Equity Sharing Agreement and the City Deed of Trust shall be forever terminated and shall have no further effect as to the Property or any transferee thereafter; provided, however, if the holder of such First Mortgage Deed of Trust acquires title to the Property pursuant to a deed or assignment in lieu of foreclosure, this Equity Sharing Agreement and the City Deed of Trust shall automatically terminate upon such acquisition of title only if: (i) City has been given written notice of the default under the First Mortgage Deed of Trust and a 60-day opportunity to cure such default; and (ii) City has not cured the default within such 60-day period or commenced to cure the default and provided a firm commitment, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the First Lender, to complete such cure.
17. REFINANCE OF MORTGAGE LOAN
The outstanding principal on the City Note shall not be due upon prepayment and refinancing of the First Mortgage Loan, and this Agreement and the City Deed of Trust shall be subordinated to the refinanced First Mortgage Loan, provided that following such refinance, the principal amount of the refinanced First Mortgage Loan will not exceed the original principal amount of the First Mortgage Loan unless some other amount is approved by City in writing, in City’s sole and absolute discretion. Mortgage loans or equity lines of credit junior in lien priority to the City Deed of Trust are not permitted. City and Owner agree that the requirements of this Section 17 are necessary to ensure the continued affordability of the Property to Owner and to minimize the risk of loss of the Property by Owner through default and foreclosure of mortgage loans. Owner further acknowledges that violation of the provisions of this Section 17 shall constitute a Default under this Equity Sharing Agreement.
18. NONDISCRIMINATION
Owner covenants by and for itself and its successors and assigns that there shall be no discrimination against or segregation of a person or of a group of persons on account of race, color, religion, creed, age, disability, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, ancestry or national origin in the sale, transfer, use, occupancy, tenure or enjoyment of the Property, nor shall Owner or any person claiming under or through Owner establish or permit any such practice or practices of 2272
60367.00001\45453422.1
-14-
113759\19836854v3
discrimination or segregation with reference to the use, occupancy, or transfer of the Property. The foregoing covenant shall run with the land.
19. INVALID PROVISIONS
If any one or more of the provisions contained in this Equity Sharing Agreement shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then such provision or provisions shall be deemed severable from the remaining provisions contained in this Equity Sharing Agreement, and this Equity Sharing Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.
20. CONTROLLING LAW
The terms of this Equity Sharing Agreement shall be interpreted under the laws of the State of California. The venue for any legal action pertaining to this Agreement shall be Orange County, California.
21. NO WAIVER
No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy of City upon any default by Owner shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver. City’s failure to insist in any one or more instance upon the strict observance of the terms of this Equity Sharing Agreement shall not be considered a waiver of City’s right thereafter to enforce the provisions of the Equity Sharing Agreement. City shall not waive its rights to enforce any provision of this Equity Sharing Agreement unless it does so in writing, signed by an authorized agent of City.

5. Security. This Note is secured by the City Deed of Trust, which also secures the Equity Sharing Agreement.
6. No Assumption of Note by Subsequent Buyers; Acceleration. Borrower acknowledges that this Note is given in connection with the purchase of the Property as part of a City program to assist in the purchase of homes by Very Low Income Households. Consequently, this Note is not automatically assumable, but is subject to section 711.5 of the California Civil Code, which allows City to accelerate all amounts due under this Note if any subsequent sale or transfer of the Property of any kind does not comply with the provisions of the Equity Sharing Agreement.
7. Refinance of First Mortgage Loan.

9. Acceleration. Subject to Section 4 and following the expiration of all applicable notice and cure periods, upon the occurrence of a default under this Note, the Equity Sharing Agreement, the City Deed of Trust, or the First Mortgage Loan, City shall have the right to declare the City Subsidy and the City Shared Appreciation immediately due and payable.
10. Non-liability for Negligence, Loss, or Damage. Borrower acknowledges, understands and agrees that the relationship between Borrower and City is solely that of borrower and lender, and that City neither undertakes nor assumes any responsibility for or duty to Borrower to select, review, inspect, supervise, pass judgment on, or inform Borrower of the quality, adequacy or suitability of the Property or any other matter. City owes no duty of care to protect Borrower against negligent, faulty, inadequate or defective building or construction or any condition of the Property and Borrower agrees that neither Borrower, or Borrower’s heirs, successors or assigns shall ever claim, have or assert any right or action against City for any loss, damage or other matter arising out of or resulting from any condition of the Property and will hold City harmless from any liability, loss or damage for these things.
11. Indemnity. Borrower agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold City harmless from all losses, damages, liabilities, claims, actions, judgments, costs, and reasonable attorney’s fees that City may incur as a direct or indirect consequence of:
a. Borrower’s default or failure to perform any obligations as and when required by this Note, the City Deed of Trust, and the Equity Sharing Agreement; or b. The failure at any time of any of Borrower’s representations or warranties to be true and correct.
12. No Waiver by City. Failure by City to pursue its legal and equitable remedies upon Borrower’s default shall not constitute a waiver of City’s right to declare a default and exercise all of its rights under this Note, the City Deed of Trust and the Equity Sharing Agreement. Failure to declare amounts due shall not constitute a waiver on the part of City of the right to declare them due in the event of any subsequent Transfer. Nor shall acceptance by City of any payment provided for herein constitute a waiver of City’s right to require prompt payment of any remaining principal owed. A waiver of any term of the Note must be made in writing, signed by an authorized agent of City, and shall be limited to the express written terms of such waiver.
13. Interest. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Note, or any instrument securing the obligations of Borrower under this Note, if, for any reason whatsoever, the payment of any sums by Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Note would result in the payment of interest which would exceed the amount that City may legally charge under the laws of the State of California, then the amount by which payments exceed the lawful interest rate shall automatically 2283
60367.00001\45453422.1
-5-
113759\19836854v3
be deducted from the principal balance owing on this Note, so that in no event shall Borrower be obligated under the terms of this Note to pay any interest which would exceed the lawful rate.
14. Attorney’s Fees and Costs. Borrower agrees that if any amounts due under this Note are not paid when due, to pay in addition to the City Subsidy and City Shared Appreciation, all costs and expenses of collection and reasonable attorneys’ fees paid or incurred by City in connection with the collection or enforcement of this Note, whether or not suit is filed.
15. Joint and Several Obligations. This Note is the joint and several obligation of all makers, sureties, guarantors and endorsers, and shall be binding upon them and their successors and assigns.
16. No Offset. Borrower hereby waives any rights of offset it now has or may hereafter have against City, its successors and assigns, and agrees to make the payments called for herein in accordance with the terms of this Note.
17. Borrower’s Waiver. Borrower and any endorsers or guarantors of this Note, for themselves, their heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns, respectively, severally waive diligence, presentment, protest, and demand, and notice of protest, notice of dishonor and notice of nonpayment of this Note, and expressly waive any rights to be released by reason of any extension of time or change in terms of payment, or change, alteration or release of any security given for the payments hereof, and expressly waive the right to plead any and all statutes of limitations as a defense to any demand on this Note or agreement to pay the same, and jointly and severally agree to pay all costs of collection when incurred, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.

To have and to hold the Security together with appurtenances to Trustee, its successors and assigns forever;
TO SECURE to City the performance of the covenants and agreements of Borrower contained in the Owner Occupancy and Equity Sharing Agreement executed by and between Borrower and City (“Equity Sharing Agreement”);
TO SECURE to City the repayment of the sums evidenced by a promissory note executed by Borrower in favor of City dated [insert] (“Note”), which note provides for repayment of a City Subsidy in the amount of $[insert], and City’s share of appreciation in the value of the Property, based on City’s proportionate assistance to Borrower, as more particularly described in the Note and the Equity Sharing Agreement; and
TO SECURE the payment of all other sums, with interest thereon, advanced in accordance herewith to protect the security of this Deed of Trust; and the performance of the covenants and agreements of Borrower herein contained.
BORROWER AND CITY COVENANT AND AGREE AS FOLLOWS:
1. Borrower’s Estate. Borrower is lawfully seized of the estate hereby conveyed and has the right to grant and convey the Security, that other than this Deed of Trust, the Security is encumbered only by: (1) a deed of trust executed by Borrower in connection with a loan made to Borrower by [lender name] (“First Lender”), dated [date], executed by Borrower in favor of First Lender, securing a first mortgage loan (“First Mortgage Loan”) to assist in the purchase of the Property (“First Mortgage Deed of Trust”); (2) the Equity Sharing Agreement; and (3) any other deeds of trust or encumbrances approved by City. Borrower agrees to warrant and defend generally the title to the Security against all claims and demands, subject to any declarations, easements or restrictions listed in a schedule of exceptions to coverage in any title insurance policy insuring City’s interest in the Security. As used in this Deed of Trust, the term “First Lender” shall include all successors and assigns of First Lender.
2. Repayment. Borrower will promptly repay, when due, all amounts due under the Note. The Note contains the following provisions concerning repayment under certain conditions:
Borrower acknowledges that this Note is given in connection with the purchase of the Property as part of a City program to assist in the purchase of homes by Very Low Income Households. Consequently, this Note is not automatically assumable, but is subject to section 711.5 of the California Civil Code, which allows the City to accelerate all amounts due under this Note if any subsequent sale or transfer of the Property of any kind does not comply with the provisions of the Equity Sharing Agreement.
3. Equity Sharing Agreement. Borrower will observe and perform all of the covenants and agreements of the Equity Sharing Agreement.
4. Charges; Liens. Borrower will pay all taxes, assessments and other charges, fines and impositions attributable to the Security which may attain a priority over this Deed of Trust, by 2288
60367.00001\45453422.1
- 3 -
113759\19836854v3
making any payment, when due, directly to the payee thereof. Borrower will promptly furnish to City all notices of amounts due under this paragraph, and in the event Borrower makes payment directly, Borrower will promptly discharge any lien which has priority over this Deed of Trust; provided, that Borrower will not be required to discharge the lien of the First Mortgage Deed of Trust (securing the First Mortgage Loan) or any other lien described in this paragraph so long as Borrower will agree in writing to the payment of the obligation secured by such lien in a manner acceptable to City, or will, in good faith, contest such lien by, or defend enforcement of such lien in, legal proceedings which operate to prevent the enforcement of the lien or forfeiture of the Security or any part thereof.
5. Hazard Insurance.
NOTICE REQUIRED BY CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 2955.5:
NO LENDER SHALL REQUIRE A BORROWER, AS A CONDITION OF
RECEIVING OR MAINTAINING A LOAN SECURED BY REAL
PROPERTY, TO PROVIDE HAZARD INSURANCE COVERAGE
AGAINST RISKS TO THE IMPROVEMENTS ON THAT REAL
PROPERTY IN AN AMOUNT EXCEEDING THE REPLACEMENT
VALUE OF THE IMPROVEMENTS ON THE PROPERTY.
BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE FOREGOING
DISCLOSURE WAS PROVIDED IN WRITING BEFORE BORROWER
EXECUTED THE NOTE, THIS DEED OF TRUST, OR ANY OTHER
SECURITY DOCUMENT RELATING TO THE CITY LOAN.
Borrower will keep the improvements on the Security insured under a standard fire and extended coverage insurance policy in at least such amounts and for such periods as City may reasonably require; provided, however, that City shall not require hazard insurance coverage in an amount exceeding the replacement value of the improvements on the Security. Subject to that limitation, the required coverage shall not be less than the amount necessary to prevent Borrower from becoming a co-insurer under the terms of the policy.
The insurance carrier providing this insurance shall be licensed to do business in the State of California and be chosen by Borrower subject to approval by City; provided, that such approval will not be withheld if the insurer is also approved by the First Lender.
All insurance policies and renewals thereof will be in a form acceptable to City and will include a standard mortgagee clause with standard lender’s endorsement in favor of the holder of the First Mortgage Loan and City as their interests may appear and in a form acceptable to City.
City shall have the right to hold, or cause its designated agent to hold, the policies and renewals thereof, and Borrower shall promptly furnish to City, or its designated agent, the original insurance policies or certificates of insurance, all renewal notices and all receipts of paid premiums. In the event of loss, Borrower will give prompt notice to the insurance carrier and City or its designated agent. City, or its designated agent, may make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower. 2289
60367.00001\45453422.1
- 4 -
113759\19836854v3
City shall receive 30 days advance notice of cancellation of any insurance policies required under this section.
Unless City and Borrower otherwise agree in writing, insurance proceeds, subject to the rights of the First Lender, will be applied to restoration or repair of the Security damaged, provided such restoration or repair is economically feasible and the Security of this Deed of Trust is not thereby impaired. If such restoration or repair is not economically feasible or if the Security of this Deed of Trust would be impaired, the insurance proceeds will be used to repay the loan under this Deed of Trust, with the excess, if any, paid to Borrower. If the Security is abandoned by Borrower, or if Borrower fails to respond to City, or its designated agent, within 30 days from the date notice is mailed by either of them to Borrower that the insurance carrier offers to settle a claim for insurance benefits, City, or its designated agent, is authorized to collect and apply the insurance proceeds at City’s option either to restoration or repair of the Security or to repay the amounts due under the Note.
If the Security is acquired by City, all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to any insurance policy and in and to the proceeds thereof resulting from damage to the Security prior to the sale or acquisition will pass to City to the extent of the sums secured by this Deed of Trust immediately prior to such sale or acquisition subject to the rights of First Lender.
6. Preservation and Maintenance of Security. Borrower will keep the Security in good repair and will not commit waste or permit impairment or deterioration of the Security.
7. Protection of City’s Security. If Borrower fails to perform the covenants and agreements contained in this Deed of Trust or if any action or proceeding is commenced which materially affects City’s interest in the Security, including, but not limited to, default under the First Mortgage Deed of Trust securing the First Mortgage Loan, eminent domain, insolvency, code enforcement, or arrangements or proceedings involving a bankrupt or decedent, then City, at City’s option, upon notice to Borrower, may make such appearances, disburse such sums and take such action as it determines necessary to protect City’s interest, including but not limited to, disbursement of reasonable attorneys’ fees and entry upon the Security to make repairs.
Any amounts disbursed by City pursuant to this paragraph shall become indebtedness of Borrower secured by this Deed of Trust. Unless Borrower and City agree to other terms of payment, such amount shall be payable upon notice from City to Borrower requesting payment thereof and shall bear interest from the date of disbursement at the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. Nothing contained in this paragraph will require City to incur any expense or take any action hereunder.
8. Inspection. City may make or cause to be made reasonable entries upon and inspections of the Security; provided that City will give Borrower reasonable notice of inspection.
9. Forbearance by City Not a Waiver. Any forbearance by City in exercising any right or remedy will not be a waiver of the exercise of any such right or remedy. The procurement of insurance or the payment of taxes or other liens or charges by City will not be a waiver of City’s right to accelerate the maturity of the indebtedness secured by this Deed of Trust. 2290
60367.00001\45453422.1
- 5 -
113759\19836854v3
10. Remedies Cumulative. All remedies provided in this Deed of Trust are distinct and cumulative to any other right or remedy under this Deed of Trust or any other document, or afforded by law or equity, and may be exercised concurrently, independently or successively.

Notice shall be effective as of the date received by the recipient as shown on the return receipt.
14. Governing Law. This Deed of Trust shall be governed by the laws of the State of California.
15. Severability. If any provision or clause of this Deed of Trust, the Note, or the Equity Sharing Agreement conflict with applicable law, such conflicts will not affect other provisions of this Deed of Trust, the Note, or the Equity Sharing Agreement which can be given effect without the conflicting provision, and to this end the provisions of the Deed of Trust, the Note, and the Equity Sharing Agreement are declared to be severable.
16. Captions. The captions and headings in this Deed of Trust are for convenience only and are not to be used to interpret or define the provisions hereof.
17. Acceleration; Remedies. Upon Borrower’s breach of any covenant or agreement of Borrower in this Deed of Trust, including, but not limited to, the covenants to pay, when due, any sums secured by this Deed of Trust, City, prior to acceleration, will mail by express delivery, return receipt requested notice to Borrower specifying: (1) the breach; (2) the action required to cure such breach; (3) a date, not less than 30 days from the date the notice is received by Borrower as shown on the return receipt, by which such breach is to be cured; and (4) that failure to cure such breach on or before the date specified in the notice may result in acceleration of the sums secured by this Deed of Trust and sale of the Security. The notice will also inform Borrower of Borrower’s right to reinstate after acceleration and the right to bring a court action to assert the nonexistence of default or any other defense of Borrower to acceleration and sale. If the breach is not cured on or before the date specified in the notice, City, at City’s option, may: (a) declare all of the sums secured by this Deed of Trust to be immediately due and payable without further demand and may invoke the power of sale and any other remedies permitted by California law; (b) either in person 2291
60367.00001\45453422.1
- 6 -
113759\19836854v3
or by agent, with or without bringing any action or proceeding, or by a receiver appointed by a court, and without regard to the adequacy of its security, enter upon the Security and take possession thereof (or any part thereof) and of any of the Security, in its own name or in the name of Trustee, and do any acts which it deems necessary or desirable to preserve the value or marketability of the Security, or part thereof or interest therein, increase the income therefrom or protect the security thereof. The entering upon and taking possession of the Security shall not cure or waive any breach hereunder or invalidate any act done in response to such breach and, notwithstanding the continuance in possession of the Security, City shall be entitled to exercise every right provided for in this Deed of Trust, or by law upon occurrence of any uncured breach, including the right to exercise the power of sale; (c) commence an action to foreclose this Deed of Trust as a mortgage, appoint a receiver, or specifically enforce any of the covenants hereof; (d) deliver to Trustee a written declaration of default and demand for sale, pursuant to the provisions for notice of sale found at California Civil Code Sections 2924, et seq., as amended from time to time; or (e) exercise all other rights and remedies provided herein, in the instruments by which Borrower acquires title to any Security, or in any other document or agreement now or hereafter evidencing, creating or securing all or any portion of the obligations secured hereby, or provided by law.
City shall be entitled to collect all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in pursuing the remedies provided in this paragraph, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney’s fees and costs.
18. Borrower’s Right to Reinstate. Notwithstanding City’s acceleration of the sums secured by this Deed of Trust, Borrower will have the right to have any proceedings begun by City to enforce this Deed of Trust discontinued at any time prior to five business days before sale of the Security 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) Borrower pays City all sums that would then be due under the Note and this Deed of Trust had no acceleration occurred; (b) Borrower cures all breaches of any other covenants or agreements of Borrower contained in this Deed of Trust; (c) Borrower pays all reasonable expenses incurred by City and Trustee in enforcing the covenants and agreements of Borrower contained in this Deed of Trust, and in enforcing City’s and Trustee’s remedies, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney’s fees; and (d) Borrower takes such action as City may reasonably require to assure that the lien of this Deed of Trust, City’s interest in the Security and Borrower’s obligation to pay the sums secured by this Deed of Trust shall continue unimpaired. Upon such payment and cure by Borrower, this Deed of Trust and the obligations secured hereby will remain in full force and effect as if no acceleration had occurred.

21. Superiority of First Lender Documents. Notwithstanding any provision herein, this Deed of Trust shall not diminish or affect the rights of First Lender under the First Mortgage Deed of Trust or any subsequent First Lender deeds of trust hereafter recorded against the Security in compliance with the requirements of Section 17 of the Equity Sharing Agreement.
Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the provisions of this Deed of Trust shall be subordinate to the lien of the First Mortgage Deed of Trust and shall not impair the rights of the First Lender, or such lender’s assignee or successor in interest, to exercise its remedies under its First Mortgage Deed of Trust in the event of default under its First Mortgage Deed of Trust by Borrower. Such remedies under the First Mortgage Deed of Trust include the right of foreclosure or acceptance of a deed or assignment in lieu of foreclosure. After such foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, this Deed of Trust shall be forever terminated and shall have no further effect as to the Property or any transferee thereafter; provided, however, if the holder of such First Mortgage Deed of Trust acquires title to the Property pursuant to a deed or assignment in lieu of foreclosure, this Deed of Trust shall automatically terminate upon such acquisition of title, only if: (i) City has been given written notice of the default under the First Mortgage Deed of Trust and a 60-day opportunity to cure such default; and (ii) City has not cured the default within such 60-day period or commenced to cure the default and provided a firm commitment, in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to First Lender, to complete such cure.
22. Request for Notice. Pursuant to Civil Code section 2924b, City requests that a copy of any notice of default and notice of sale under any deed of trust or mortgage senior to this Deed of Trust be mailed to City at the address set forth in Section 13 of this Deed of Trust.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Borrower has executed this Deed of Trust as of the date first written above.
