To satisfy this requirement, Grantee must provide to the County, in addition to any other information reasonably required by the County, evidence demonstrating that the proposed amount of the refinanced Senior Loan is necessary to provide adequate acquisition, construction and/or permanent financing (or County approved refinancing thereof so long as the term of the refinancing loan does not exceed the then outstanding principal balance of the existing Senior Lien) to ensure the viability of the Project, and adequate financing for the Project would not be available without the proposed subordination; (3) The subordination agreement(s) is structured to minimize the risk that the Deed of Trust will be extinguished as a result of a foreclosure by the Senior Lender or other holder of the Senior Loan.

Execution of any subordination agreement will evidence and constitute the determination of the County that all requirements of this Section have been satisfied or waived. (d) The County will not subordinate the Regulatory Agreement to any encumbrance securing any financing.

(c) Grantee shall cause any general contractor, agent, or subcontractor working on the Project under direct contract with Grantee or subcontract to maintain insurance of the types and in at least the minimum amounts described in subsections (1), (2), and (3) above, meeting all of the general requirements of subsections (e) and (f) below and naming the County as an additional insured. The Grantee agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility ensuring that such coverage is provided as required here. (d) An umbrella (over primary) or excess policy may be used to comply with limits or other primary coverage requirements. When used, the umbrella policy must apply to bodily injury/property damage, personal injury/advertising injury and must include a "dropdown" provision providing primary coverage for any liability not covered by the primary policy. The coverage must also apply to automobile liability. (e) The required insurance must be provided under an occurrence form, and Grantee shall maintain the coverage described in subsections (a) continuously throughout the Term. Should any of the required insurance be provided under a form of coverage that includes an annual aggregate limit or provides that claims investigation or legal defense costs be included in such annual aggregate limit, such annual aggregate limit must be three times the occurrence limits specified above.
(f) Comprehensive General Liability and Comprehensive Automobile Liability insurance policies must be endorsed to name as an additional insured the County and its officers, agents, employees, and members of the Board of Supervisors. The additional insured endorsements must not limit the scope of coverage for the County to vicarious liability but must allow coverage for the County to the full extent provided by the policy. Such additional insured coverage must be at least as broad as Additional Insured (Form B) endorsement form ISO, CG 2010.11 85.
(g) All policies and bonds are to contain: (1) the agreement of the insurer to give the County at least thirty (30) days’ notice prior to cancellation (including, without limitation, for non-payment of premium) or any material change in said policies; (2) an agreement that such policies are primary and non-contributing with any insurance that may be carried by the County; (3) a provision that no act or omission of Grantee shall affect or limit the obligation of the insurance carrier to pay the amount of any loss sustained; and (4) a waiver by the insurer of all rights of subrogation against the County and its authorized parties in connection with any loss or damage thereby insured against.
(h) Construction contracts for projects over Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) and less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) require limits of not less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) in General Liability and Auto Liability coverage. (i) The Grantee shall require the carriers of required coverages to waive all rights of subrogation against the County, its officers, employees, agents, volunteers, contractors and subcontractors. All general or auto liability insurance coverage provided shall not prohibit the Grantee and Grantee's employees or agents from waiving the right of subrogation prior to a loss or claim. The Grantee hereby waives all rights of subrogation against the County. 30 1610\01\3672731.7 23
(j) All policies required herein are to be primary and non-contributory with any insurance or self-insurance programs carried or administered by the County. (k) The Grantee shall furnish Certificates of Insurance to the County Department administering the contract evidencing the insurance coverage prior to the close of Escrow, additional endorsements, as required shall be provided prior to the commencement of performance of services hereunder, which certificates shall provide that such insurance shall not be terminated or expire without thirty (30) days written notice to the Department, and Grantee shall maintain such insurance from the time Grantee commences performance of services hereunder until the completion of such services. Within fifteen (15) days following the close of Escrow, the Grantee shall furnish a copy of the Declaration page for all applicable policies and will provide complete certified copies of the policies and endorsements immediately upon request.
(l) The Grantee agrees to ensure that coverage provided to meet these requirements is applicable separately to each insured and there will be no cross liability exclusions that preclude coverage for suits between the Grantee and the County or between the County and any other insured or additional insured under the policy. (m) Any and all deductibles or self-insured retentions in excess of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) shall be declared to and approved by Risk Management. (n) In the event that any policy of insurance required in this Section does not comply with the requirements, is not procured, or is canceled and not replaced, the County has the right but not the obligation or duty to obtain such insurance it deems necessary and any premiums paid by the County will be promptly reimbursed by Grantee or County disbursements to Grantee will be reduced to pay for the County purchased insurance. (o) Insurance requirements are subject to periodic review by the County. The Director of Risk Management or designee is authorized, but not required, to reduce, waive or suspend any insurance requirements whenever Risk Management determines that any of the required insurance is not available, is unreasonably priced, or is not needed to protect the interests of the County. In addition, if Risk Management determines that heretofore unreasonably priced or unavailable types of insurance coverage or coverage limits become reasonably priced and available, the Director of Risk Management or designee is authorized, but not required, to change the above insurance requirements to require additional types of insurance coverage or higher coverage limits, provided that any such change is reasonable in light of past claims against the County, inflation, or any other item reasonably related to the County's risk.
Any change requiring additional types of insurance coverage or higher coverage limits must be made by amendment to this Agreement. Grantee agrees to execute any such amendment within thirty (30) days of receipt. Any failure, actual or alleged, on the part of the County to monitor or enforce compliance with any of the insurance and indemnification requirements will not be deemed as a waiver of any rights on the part of the County. (p) All policies and bonds shall be endorsed to provide thirty (30) days prior written notice of cancellation, reduction in coverage, or intent not to renew to the address established for notices to the County.

(b) Grantee shall immediately advise the County in writing if at any time it receives written notice of (i) any and all enforcement, cleanup, removal or other government or regulatory actions instituted, completed or threatened against Grantee or the Property pursuant to any applicable federal, state or local laws, ordinances, or regulations relating to any Hazardous Materials, ("Hazardous Materials Law"); (ii) all claims made or threatened by any third party against Grantee or the Property relating to damage, contribution, cost recovery compensation, loss or injury resulting from any Hazardous Materials (the matters set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above are hereinafter referred to as "Hazardous Materials Claims"); and (iii) Grantee's discovery of any occurrence or condition on any real property adjoining or in the vicinity of the Property that could cause the Property or any part thereof to be classified as "border-zone property" under the provision of California Health and Safety Code, Sections 25220 et seq., or any regulation adopted in accordance therewith, or to be otherwise subject to any restrictions on the ownership, occupancy, transferability or use of the Property under any Hazardous Materials Law. (c) The County has the right to join and participate in, as a party if it so elects, any legal proceedings or actions initiated in connection with any Hazardous Materials Claims and to have its reasonable attorneys' fees in connection therewith paid by Grantee. Grantee shall indemnify and hold harmless the County and its board members, supervisors, directors, officers, employees, agents, successors and assigns from and against any loss, damage, cost, expense or liability directly or indirectly arising out of or attributable to the use, generation, storage, release, threatened release, discharge, disposal, or presence of Hazardous Materials on, under, or about the Property including without limitation: (i) all foreseeable consequential damages; (ii) the costs of any required or necessary repair, cleanup or detoxification of the Property and the preparation and implementation of any closure, remedial or other required plans; and (iii) all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the County in connection with clauses (i) and (ii), including but not limited to reasonable attorneys' fees and consultant's fees. This indemnification applies whether or not any government agency has issued a cleanup order.
Losses, claims, costs, suits, liability, and expenses covered by this indemnification provision include, but are not limited to: (1) losses attributable to diminution in the value of the Property; (2) loss or restriction of use of rentable space on the Property; (3) adverse effect on the marketing of any rental space on the Property; and (4) penalties and fines levied by, and remedial or enforcement actions of any kind issued by any regulatory agency (including but not limited to the costs of any required testing, remediation, repair, removal, cleanup or detoxification of the 32 1610\01\3672731.7 25
Property and surrounding properties). This obligation to indemnify will survive termination of this Agreement.
(d) Without the County's prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, Grantee may not take any remedial action in response to the presence of any Hazardous Materials on, under or about the Property, nor enter into any settlement agreement, consent decree, or other compromise in respect to any Hazardous Material Claims, which remedial action, settlement, consent decree or compromise might, in the County's reasonable judgment, impair the value of the County's security hereunder; provided, however, that the County's prior consent is not necessary in the event that the presence of Hazardous Materials on, under, or about the Property either poses an immediate threat to the health, safety or welfare of any individual or is of such a nature that an immediate remedial response is necessary and it is not reasonably possible to obtain the County's consent before taking such action, provided that in such event Grantee shall notify the County as soon as practicable of any action so taken. The County agrees not to withhold its consent, where such consent is required hereunder, if either (i) a particular remedial action is ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction, (ii) Grantee will or may be subjected to civil or criminal sanctions or penalties if it fails to take a required action; (iii) Grantee establishes to the reasonable satisfaction of the County that there is no reasonable alternative to such remedial action that would result in less impairment of the County's security hereunder; or (iv) the action has been agreed to by the County.
(e) Grantee hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) this Section is intended as the County's written request for information (and Grantee's response) concerning the environmental condition of the Property as required by California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5, and (ii) each representation and warranty in this Agreement (together with any indemnity obligation applicable to a breach of any such representation and warranty) with respect to the environmental condition of the Property is intended by the Parties to be an "environmental provision" for purposes of California Code of Civil Procedure Section 736. (f) In the event that any portion of the Property is determined to be "environmentally impaired" (as that term is defined in California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5(e)(3)) or to be an "affected parcel" (as that term is defined in California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5(e)(1) and Grantee is in default of its obligations to the County, then, without otherwise limiting or in any way affecting the County's or the trustee's rights and remedies, the County may elect to exercise its rights under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5(a) to (1) waive its lien on such environmentally impaired or affected portion of the Property and (2) exercise (a) the rights and remedies of an unsecured creditor, including reduction of its claim against Grantee to judgment, and (b) any other rights and remedies permitted by law. For purposes of determining the County's right to proceed as an unsecured creditor under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5(a), Grantee will be deemed to have willfully permitted or acquiesced in a release or threatened release of hazardous materials, within the meaning of California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5(d)(1), if the release or threatened release of hazardous materials was knowingly or negligently caused or contributed to by any lessee, occupant, or user of any portion of the Property and Grantee knew or should have known of the activity by such lessee, occupant, or user that caused or contributed to the release or threatened release. All costs and expenses, including (but not limited to) attorneys' fees and 33 1610\01\3672731.7 26
other professional service fees and costs, incurred by the County in connection with any action commenced under this paragraph, including any action required by California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5(b) to determine the degree to which the Property is environmentally impaired, plus interest thereon at the lesser of ten percent (10%) or the maximum rate permitted by law, until paid, will be payable to the County upon its demand made at any time following the conclusion of such action.
Section 4.12 Maintenance and Damage.

Grantee shall make all repairs and replacements necessary to keep the improvements in good condition and repair.
(c) In the event that Grantee breaches any of the covenants contained in this section and such default continues for a period of five (5) days after written notice from the County with respect to graffiti, debris, waste material, and general maintenance or thirty (30) days after written notice from the County with respect to landscaping and building improvements, then the County, in addition to whatever other remedy it may have at law or in equity, has the right to enter upon the Property and perform or cause to be performed all such acts and work necessary to cure the default. Pursuant to such right of entry, the County is permitted (but is not required) to enter upon the Property and to perform all acts and work necessary to protect, maintain, and preserve the improvements and landscaped areas on the Property, and to attach a lien on the Property, or to assess the Property, in the amount of the expenditures arising from such acts and work of protection, maintenance, and preservation by the County and/or costs of such cure, which amount shall be promptly paid by Grantee to the County upon demand.

final determination of the proceeding or contest, will immediately pay or discharge any decision or judgment rendered against it, together with all costs, charges and interest.
Section 3.5 Property Tax Exemption.
