ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS AND LEASES
THIS ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS AND LEASES (the “Assignment”) is made as of _______________________, 202_ by WAKELAND IBNCA LP, a California limited partnership (“Borrower”), in favor of the IMPERIAL BEACH HOUSING AUTHORITY, a public body, corporate and politic, and its successors and assigns (the “Authority”).
RECITALS
A. Borrower is the owner of a long-term leasehold interest in the real property described in Exhibit “A” attached hereto, and the owner of all of the personalty, fixtures, and improvements now or hereafter located thereon or attached thereto now existing or to be constructed thereon. Said real property, personalty, fixtures, and the improvements are herein referred to collectively as the “Premises”.
B. Authority has agreed to make a loan to Borrower to assist Borrower in financing a portion of the Acquisition and Development Costs, in the original principal amount of $625,000 (“LMIHAF Loan”), (the “Authority Loan”), pursuant to the terms of an Affordable Housing Agreement by and between Borrower and Authority dated as of ______________________, 2024 (“Loan Agreement”). In addition the Borrower has incurred an additional indebtedness to the City created by the City’s deferral of certain impact fees for the Project in the amount of __________________________ Dollars ($_________) as set forth in the Loan Agreement and pursuant to that certain City Fees Deferral Promissory Note (“Fees Deferral”). The LMIHAF Loan and the Fees Deferral (collectively “Loans”) are each evidenced by a promissory note of even date herewith (each, a “Note”) and are each secured by a Subordinated Deed of Trust, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing, of even date herewith, executed by Borrower, as Trustor, for the benefit of Authority, as Beneficiary (“Deeds of Trust”).
455 Palm Avenue - Imperial Beach Neighborhood Center Apartments Assignment of Rents
C. In order to induce Authority to make the Authority Loan to Borrower, Borrower has agreed to execute this Assignment.
NOW, THEREFORE, with reference to the foregoing and in reliance thereon and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, Borrower agrees as follows:
AGREEMENT
1. All initially capitalized terms used herein, unless otherwise defined or required by context, have the meaning ascribed to them in the Loan Agreement.
2. Borrower hereby absolutely grants, sells, assigns, transfers, and sets over to Authority, by this Assignment, all of Borrower’s interests, whether now existing or hereafter acquired, in all leases and other occupancy agreements of any nature, now or hereafter covering all or any part of the Premises, together with all extensions, renewals, modifications, or replacements of said leases and occupancy agreements, and together with any and all guarantees of the obligations of the lessees and occupants (“Lessees”) thereunder, whether now existing or hereafter executed, and all extensions and renewals of said guarantees. (Said leases and occupancy agreements, together with any and all guarantees, modifications, extensions and renewals thereof, are hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Leases” and individually as a “Lease”.)
3. Borrower’s purpose in making this Assignment is to relinquish to Authority its right to collect and enjoy the rents, royalties, issues, profits, income, and other benefits at any time accruing by virtue of the Leases (hereinafter called “Rents and Profits”).
4. This Assignment is a present, absolute and unconditional assignment, subordinate to the rights of ________________________, and its successors and assigns, each a Senior Lender under the Loan Agreement (“Senior Lender”) and, immediately upon execution, gives the Authority the right to collect the Rents and Profits and to apply them in payment of the principal and interest and all other sums payable on the Indebtedness and other Obligations under each Note and other loan documents, as well as all other sums payable under the Deeds of Trust or any other instrument given as security for the Indebtedness, subject to the rights of each Senior Lender.
However, the Authority hereby grants to Borrower a license to collect and use, subject to the provisions set forth below, the Rents and Profits as they respectively become due and to enforce the Leases, so long as there is no Default by Borrower in performance of the terms, covenants, or provisions of the Deed of Trust, any Note, or the Loan Agreement, this Assignment or any other loan document, after the expiration of any applicable notice and cure periods. Nothing contained herein, nor any collection of Rents and Profits by Authority or by a receiver, will be construed to make Authority a “mortgagee in possession” of the Premises so long as Authority has not entered into actual possession of the Premises.
455 Palm Avenue - Imperial Beach Neighborhood Center Apartments Assignment of Rents
5. Upon the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, after the expiration of any applicable notice and cure periods, under the terms and conditions of this Assignment, each Note, the Deed of Trust, the Loan Agreement or any other loan document, this Assignment will constitute a direction and full authority to each Lessee under any Lease and each guarantor of any Lease to pay all Rents and Profits to Authority without proof of the Default relied upon. Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes each Lessee and guarantor to rely upon and comply with any notice or demand by Authority for the payment to Authority of any Rents and Profits due or to become due.
6. Borrower represents and warrants as to each Lease now or hereafter covering all or any portion of the Premises, unless Authority has been otherwise advised in writing by Borrower:
a. That each Lease is in full force and effect;
b. That no material default exists on the part of the Lessee thereunder or Borrower;
c. That no rent in excess of one month’s rent has been collected in advance; d. Except with respect to Senior Lenders, that no Lease or any interest therein has been previously assigned or pledged;
e. That no Lessee under any Lease has any defense, setoff or counterclaim against Borrower; and
f. That all rent due to date under each Lease has been collected and no concession has been granted to any Lessee in the form of a waiver, release, reduction, discount, or other alteration of rent due or to become due except as previously disclosed to Borrower in writing.
7. Borrower agrees with respect to each Lease:
a. If any Lease provides for a security deposit paid by the Lessee to Borrower, this Assignment transfers to Authority all of Borrower’s right, title, and interest in and to each such security deposit; provided, however, that Borrower will have the right to retain said security deposit so long as Borrower is not in Default, after the expiration of any applicable notice and cure periods, under this Assignment, the Deed of Trust, each Note, the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document; and provided further that Authority will have no obligation to the Lessee with respect to such security deposit unless and until Authority comes into actual possession and control of said security deposit.
b. If any Lease provides for the abatement of rent during repair of the leased premises by reason of fire or other casualty, Borrower will furnish rental insurance to Authority, the policies to be with companies and in form, content, policy limits, and terms as are customary in the case of entities owning similar property or assets similarly situated.
455 Palm Avenue - Imperial Beach Neighborhood Center Apartments Assignment of Rents
c. Each Lease will remain in full force and effect despite any merger of the interest of Borrower and any Lessee thereunder. Except as otherwise provided in the Loan Agreement, Borrower will not terminate any Lease (except pursuant to the terms of the Lease upon a Default by any Lessee thereunder), or materially modify or amend any Lease or any of the terms thereof, or grant any concessions in connection therewith or accept a surrender thereof, without the prior written consent of Authority, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. d. Except as otherwise provided in the Loan Agreement, Borrower will not hereafter execute any Lease, the terms and conditions of which have not been previously approved in writing by Authority, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. e. Borrower will not collect any Rents and Profits more than thirty (30) days in advance of the date on which they become due under the terms of any Lease, provided that Borrower may collect customary security deposits more than 30 days in advance. f. Borrower will not discount any future accruing Rents and Profits. g. Borrower will not consent to any assignment of any Lease, or any subletting thereunder, whether or not in accordance with its terms, on any terms less favorable than those that would reflect an arm’s length transaction in light of prevailing market conditions (subject to the rent restrictions applicable to the Premises), without the prior written consent of Authority, except as otherwise provided in the Loan Agreement and with respect to the Senior Loans. h. Except as otherwise provided in the Loan Agreement and with respect to the Senior Loans, Borrower will not execute any further assignment of any of the Rents and Profits or any interest therein or suffer or permit any such assignment to occur by operation of law. i. Borrower will not request, consent to, agree to, or accept a subordination of any Lease to any mortgage, deed of trust or other encumbrance, or any other lease, now or hereafter affecting the Premises or any part thereof, or suffer or permit conversion of any Lease to a sublease, without Authority’s prior written consent.
j. Borrower will faithfully perform and discharge all obligations of the lessor under each Lease, and will give prompt written notice to Authority of any notice of Borrower’s default received from any Lessee or any other person and furnish Authority with a complete copy of said notice. Borrower will appear in and defend, at no cost to Authority, any action or proceeding arising under or in any manner connected with any Lease. If requested by Authority, Borrower will enforce each Lease and all remedies available to Borrower against the Lessee in the case of default under the Lease by the Lessee.
k. Except as otherwise provided in the Loan Agreement, Borrower will give Authority written annual reports of all Leases entered into during the previous year, and will
455 Palm Avenue - Imperial Beach Neighborhood Center Apartments Assignment of Rents
promptly upon request of Authority provide to Authority a true and correct copy of each executed Lease. All Leases entered into by Borrower will be deemed included in this Assignment as though originally listed herein. At Authority’s option, such reports may be recorded in the Official Records of San Diego County, California, which report will refer to this Assignment. l. Except as otherwise provided in the Loan Agreement, at Authority’s option, Borrower will not hire, retain, or contract with any third party for property management services with respect to the Premises, without the prior written approval of Authority of such party and the terms of its contract for management services.
m. Nothing herein will be construed to impose any liability or obligation on Authority under or with respect to any Lease. Borrower will indemnify, defend, and hold Authority and City, their officers, directors, agents, employees, and representatives (the Indemnitees) harmless from and against any and all liabilities, losses, and damages that any Indemnitee may incur under any Lease or by reason of this Assignment, and of and from any and all claims and demands whatsoever that may be asserted against any Indemnitee by reason of any alleged obligations to be performed or discharged by Authority under any Lease or this Agreement, unless any of the foregoing arises from or results from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Indemnitee. Should any Indemnitee incur any liability, loss, or damage under any Lease or by reason of this Assignment and such liability, loss, or damage falls within the foregoing indemnification, Borrower will immediately upon demand reimburse such Indemnitee for the amount thereof together with all costs and expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees (based on itemized invoices for time and charges) and court costs incurred by such Indemnitee. All of the foregoing sums will bear interest at the maximum rate permitted by law from demand by Indemnitee until paid. Any Rents and Profits collected by Authority may be applied by Authority, in its discretion, in satisfaction of any such liability, loss, damage, claim, demand, cost, expense, or fees.
8. Subject to the rights of Senior Lender, Borrower hereby grants to Authority the following rights:
a. Upon an Event of Default as defined in the Loan Agreement, Authority will be deemed to be the creditor of each Lessee in respect of any assignments for the benefit of creditors and any bankruptcy, arrangement, reorganization, insolvency, dissolution, receivership, or other debtor relief proceedings affecting such Lessee, without obligation on the part of Authority, however, to file timely claims in such proceedings or otherwise pursue creditor’s rights therein.
b. Authority will have the right to assign Borrower’s right, title, and interest in the Leases to any subsequent holder of the Deed of Trust or any participating interest therein or to any person acquiring title to all or any part of the Premises through foreclosure or otherwise.
Any such Authority assignee will have all the rights and powers herein provided to Authority.
455 Palm Avenue - Imperial Beach Neighborhood Center Apartments Assignment of Rents
c. Authority will have the right (but not the obligation), upon any Event of Default under the Deed of Trust or the Loan Agreement, to take any action as Authority may deem necessary or appropriate to protect its security, including but not limited to appearing in any action or proceeding and performing any obligations of the lessor under any Lease; and Borrower agrees to pay, on demand, all costs and expenses, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs incurred by Authority in connection therewith, together with interest thereon at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum.
d. Upon any Default under this Assignment, the Deed of Trust, any Note, the Loan Agreement, or any other loan document (subject to any notice and cure provisions), and without notice to or consent of Borrower, Authority will have the following rights (none of which will be construed to be obligations of Authority):
i. Authority will have the right under this Assignment to use and possess, without rental or charge, the Fixtures, Equipment, and Personal Property of the Borrower located in or on the Premises and used in the operation or occupancy thereof. Authority will have the right to apply any of the Rents and Profits to pay installments due for Personal Property rented or purchased on credit, insurance premiums on Personal Property, or other charges relating to Personal Property in or on the Premises. However, this Assignment will not make Authority responsible for the control, care, management, or repair of the Premises or any Personal Property or for the carrying out of any of the terms or provisions of any Lease. ii. Authority will have the right to apply the Rents and Profits and any sums recovered by Authority hereunder to the outstanding Indebtedness, as well as to charges for taxes, insurance, improvements, maintenance, and other items relating to the operation of the Premises.
iii. Authority will have the right to take possession of the Premises, manage and operate the Premises and Borrower’s business thereon, and to take possession of and use all books of account and financial records of Borrower and its property managers or representatives relating to the Premises.
iv. Authority will have the right to execute new Leases of any part of the Premises, including Leases that extend beyond the term of the Deed of Trust. v. Authority will have the right to cancel or alter any existing Leases. vi. Authority will have the irrevocable authority, as Borrower’s attorney-in-fact, such Authority being coupled with an interest, to sign the name of Borrower and to bind Borrower on all papers and documents relating to the operation, leasing and maintenance of the Premises.
455 Palm Avenue - Imperial Beach Neighborhood Center Apartments Assignment of Rents
e. All of the foregoing rights and remedies of Authority are cumulative, and Authority will also have upon the occurrence of any such Default or Event of Default all other rights and remedies provided under each Note, the Loan Agreement, the Deed of Trust, or any other loan document or other agreement between Borrower and Authority, or otherwise available at law or in equity or by statute subject to the nonrecourse clause set forth in each Note.
9. Failure of Authority to avail itself of any terms, covenants, or conditions of this Assignment for any period of time or for any reason will not constitute a waiver thereof.
10. Notwithstanding any future modification of the terms of any Note, the Deed of Trust, the Loan Agreement, or any other loan document, this Assignment and the rights and benefits hereby assigned and granted will continue in favor of Authority in accordance with the terms of this Assignment.
11. This Assignment will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective heirs, legal representatives, successors, and assigns of the parties hereto (including without limitation in the case of Authority, any third parties now or hereafter acquiring any interest in the Indebtedness or other obligations of Borrower under each Note or Deed of Trust or a part thereof, whether by virtue of assignment, participation, or otherwise). The words Borrower, Authority, and Lessee, wherever used herein, will include the persons and entities named herein or in any Lease and designated as such and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns, provided that any action taken by the named person or entity or any successor, designated as such by an instrument recorded in the Official Records of San Diego County, California, referring to this Assignment, will be sufficient for all purposes notwithstanding that Authority may have theretofore assigned or participated any interest in the obligation to a third party. All words and phrases will be taken to include the singular or plural number, and the masculine, feminine, or neuter gender, as may fit the case.
12. Any change, amendment, modification, abridgment, cancellation, or discharge of this Assignment or any term or provision hereof will be invalid without the written consent of Authority.
13. Upon payment to Authority of the full amount of the Indebtedness and other obligations secured hereby and by each Note and Deed of Trust, as evidenced by a recorded satisfaction or release of the Deed of Trust, this Assignment will be void and of no further effect.
14. All notices, demands, approvals, and other communications provided for in the Loan Documents will be in writing and be delivered by overnight air courier, personal delivery, or registered or certified U.S. mail, postage prepaid with return receipt requested to the appropriate party at its address as follow

ASSIGNMENT OF AGREEMENTS
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, WAKELAND IBNCA LP, L.P., a California limited partnership (“Borrower”), as of __________ __, 20__ assigns to the IMPERIAL BEACH HOUSING AUTHORITY, a public body, corporate and politic of the State of California (“Authority”), all of its rights, title and interest in and to:

Borrower represents and warrants to Authority, as of the Effective Date, that: (a) all Architectural Agreements entered into by Borrower are in full force and effect and are enforceable in accordance with their terms and no default, or event which would constitute a default after notice or the passage of time, or both, exists with respect to said Architectural Agreements; (b) all copies of the Architectural Agreements and Plans and Specifications delivered to City are complete and correct; and (c) Borrower has not assigned any of its rights under the Architectural Agreements or with respect to the Plans and Specifications.
Borrower agrees: (a) to pay and perform all obligations of Borrower under the Architectural Agreements; (b) to enforce the payment and performance of all obligations of any other person or entity under the Architectural Agreements; (c) not to modify the existing Architectural Agreements nor to enter into any future Architectural Agreements without Authority’s prior written approval except as otherwise may be permitted in the Affordable Housing Agreement; and (d) not to further assign (other than assignment in connection with a loan from a Senior Lender), for security or any other purposes, its rights under the Architectural Agreements or with respect to the Plans and Specifications with Authority’s prior written consent.
This Assignment secures performance by Borrower of all obligations of Borrower under the Affordable Housing Agreement from and after the Construction Financing Event. This Assignment is supplemented by the provisions of the Affordable Housing Agreement and said provisions are incorporated herein by reference.
This Assignment will be governed by the laws of the State of California, without reference to the principles governing conflicts of laws, and Borrower consents to the jurisdiction of any Federal or State Court within the State of California having proper venue for the filing and maintenance of any action arising hereunder and agrees that the prevailing party in any such action will be entitled, in addition to any other recovery, to reasonable attorney’s fees and costs.
This Assignment will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, legal representatives, assigns, and successors-in-interest of Borrower and Authority; provided, however, this will not be construed and is not intended to waive any restrictions on assignment, sale, transfer, mortgage, pledge, hypothecation or encumbrance by Borrower contained in the Affordable Housing Agreement.

Section 2. COVENANTS AND INDEMNITY
The following covenants and indemnities are hereby given and made by Borrower:
2.1 Covenants.
(a) Borrower covenants that it will comply with any and all laws, regulations, and/or orders which may be promulgated, from time to time, with respect to the discharge and/or removal of Hazardous Materials, to pay immediately when due the costs of the removal of, or any other action required by law with respect to, any such Hazardous Materials, and to keep the Property free of any lien imposed pursuant to any such laws, regulations, or orders. (b) Borrower covenants that the Property will not, while Borrower is the owner thereof, be used for any activities involving, directly or indirectly, the use, generation, treatment, storage, release, or disposal of any Hazardous Materials, except for de minimis quantities used at the Property in compliance with all applicable environmental laws and required in connection with the routine construction, operation and maintenance of the Property. (c) Borrower further agrees that Borrower will not release or dispose of any Hazardous Materials at the Property, except for de minimis quantities used at the Property in compliance with all applicable environmental laws and required in connection with the routine construction, operation and maintenance of the Property, without the express written approval of the Authority and that any such release or disposal will be effected in strict compliance with all applicable laws and all conditions, if any, established by the Authority. (d) The Authority will have the right, at any time, to conduct an environmental audit of the Property at the Authority’s expense, unless Hazardous Materials are found in violation of this Agreement, then at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, and Borrower will cooperate in the conduct of any such environmental audit but in no event will such audit be conducted unless the Authority believes that such audit is warranted. Other than in an emergency, such audit will be conducted only after reasonable prior notice has been given to Borrower and only in the presence
455 Palm Avenue - Imperial Beach Neighborhood Center Apartments Environmental Indemnity
of a representative of Borrower. Borrower will give the Authority and its agents and employees access to the Property at all reasonable times to remove, or otherwise to mitigate against the effects of, Hazardous Materials.
(e) Borrower will not install, or permit to be installed, on the Property friable asbestos or any substance containing asbestos and deemed hazardous by federal or state regulations respecting such material, and, with respect to any such material currently present in the Property, Borrower will promptly either (i) remove or cause to be removed any material that such regulations deem hazardous and require to be removed, or (ii) otherwise comply with such federal and state regulations, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense. If Borrower will fail to so do within the cure period permitted under applicable law, regulation, or order, the Authority may do whatever is necessary to eliminate said substances from the premises or to otherwise comply with the applicable law, regulation, or order, and the costs thereof will be added to the Obligations (as hereinafter defined) of Borrower under this Section 2.
(f) Borrower will immediately advise the Authority in writing of any of the following: (i) any pending or threatened environmental claim against Borrower or the Property, (ii) any condition or occurrence on the Property that (A) results in noncompliance by Borrower with any applicable environmental law, (B) could reasonably be anticipated to cause the Property to be subject to any restrictions on the ownership, occupancy, use or transferability of the Property under any environmental law, or (C) could reasonably be anticipated to form the basis of an environmental claim against the Property or Borrower.
2.2 Indemnity. Borrower will indemnify, protect, and hold the Authority and the City of Imperial Beach (the “City”) harmless from and against any and all damages, losses, liabilities, obligations, penalties, claims, litigation, demands, defenses, judgments, suits, proceedings, costs, disbursements, or expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and experts’ fees and disbursements) of any kind or of any nature whatsoever (collectively, the Obligations) which may at any time be imposed upon, incurred by or asserted or awarded against the Authority and/or City and arising from or out of:
(a) The presence of any Hazardous Materials on, in, under, or affecting all or any portion of the Property or any surrounding areas;
(b) The breach of any covenant made by Borrower in Section 2.1 hereof; or (c) The enforcement by the Authority and/or the City of any of the provisions of this Section 2.2 or the assertion by Borrower of any defense to its obligations hereunder.
Subject to the qualifications set forth in Section 2.3, below, Borrower will be liable for payment and performance of the Obligations to the full extent (but only to the extent) of the property and
455 Palm Avenue - Imperial Beach Neighborhood Center Apartments Environmental Indemnity
assets (including the Property) which constitute security for such Obligations. If default occurs in the timely and proper payment and performance of any such Obligations (after notice and reasonable opportunity to cure), any judicial proceedings brought by the Authority and/or City against Borrower will be limited to the protection and preservation of the Property, the preservation, enforcement and foreclosure of the liens, mortgages, assignments, rights and security interests securing such Obligations and enforcement and collection of such Obligations for which Borrower remains directly liable as provided in this Section. If there is a foreclosure of any such liens, mortgages, assignments, rights and security interests by power of sale or otherwise, no personal judgment for any deficiency thereon will be sought or obtained by the Authority and/or City against Borrower, or its officers, directors, agents, attorneys, servants or employees. In no event shall Borrower be liable for any Obligations resulting exclusively from the gross negligence and/or willful misconduct of the Authority and/or the City.
2.3 Exceptions to Non-Recourse Liability. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 2.2 or any other agreements,
(a) the Authority and/or City may proceed against any other person or entity whatsoever with respect to the enforcement of any guarantees, surety bonds, letters of credit, reimbursement agreements or similar rights to payment or performance; and (b) The Authority and/or City may recover personally from any person or entity other than Borrower’s Managing General Partner and Limited Partners:
(1) any damages, costs and expenses incurred by the Authority and/or City as a result of the negligence of such person or entity, involving, directly or indirectly, the use, generation, treatment, storage, release, or disposal of any Hazardous Materials by such person or entity or by others; provided, however, that neither Borrower nor any officer, partner, agent, attorney, servant or employee of Borrower will have any personal liability if the act or omission complained of was performed in good faith and was not reckless, wanton, intentional or grossly negligent;
(2) any damages, costs and expenses incurred by Authority and/or City as a result of fraud or any criminal act or acts of Borrower or any partner, shareholder, officer, director or employee of Borrower, or of any general or limited partner of Borrower; and (3) all court costs and attorneys’ fees reasonably incurred in enforcing or collecting upon any of the foregoing exceptions.

(g) Any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, Borrower, Borrower, or any other indemnitor or guarantor with respect to the Authority Loan or any or all of the Obligations.
3.2 Continuation. This Indemnity (a) is a continuing indemnity and will remain in full force and effect until the satisfaction in full of all of the Obligations (notwithstanding the payment in full of the Authority Loan or the release or other extinguishment of any security for the Authority Loan); and (b) will continue to be effective or will be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Authority upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, or reorganization of Borrower, Borrower or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

R E C I T A L S
A. Authority and Borrower have heretofore entered into that certain Affordable Housing Agreement dated as of ______________, 2024 (“Affordable Housing Agreement”), relating to the real property described in Attachment No. 2 to the Affordable Housing Agreement (the “Property”). Terms not defined herein will have the meaning given to them in the Affordable Housing Agreement.
B. In accordance with the Affordable Housing Agreement, Borrower intends to construct a multifamily rental development consisting of 50 dwelling units (the “Units”) and ancillary facilities, as described in the Affordable Housing Agreement and its attachments (the “Project”). The Units will be rented to and occupied by Extremely Low Income Senior Citizen Households, with the exception of one on-site manager’s unit. The costs of acquiring the leasehold interest in the Property and developing the Project (the “Acquisition and Development Costs”) are set forth in the Project Budget approved by the Authority and Construction Lender as the final project budget, which is attached to this Agreement as Exhibit “A” and incorporated herein by this reference (the “Project Budget”). The Project Budget will be subject to amendment from time to time, subject to prior written approval by the Construction Lender and the Authority Executive Director or designee, to the extent applicable, upon which approval the Project Budget will be replaced by the approved revised Project Budget.
C. Pursuant to the Affordable Housing Agreement, the Authority has agreed to loan funds to Borrower which will be disbursed by Authority to Borrower to assist Borrower in financing a portion of the Acquisition and Development Costs, in the original principal amount of $625,000 (“LMIHAF Loan”). The Affordable Housing Agreement, the promissory note evidencing the LMIHAF Loan, the deed of trust securing the LMIHAF Loan, and an Agreement Containing Covenants, each dated on or around the date hereof, and other instruments referred to in the Affordable Housing Agreement, are sometimes referred to collectively as the “Authority Loan Documents.”
D. Construction Lender and Borrower have entered into that certain Construction Loan Agreement dated on or around the date hereof (“Construction Loan Agreement”), pursuant to which Construction Lender has agreed to lend Borrower funds in the amount of approximately $______________________ (variously referred to as the “Construction Loan” and the “Construction Lender Funds”) to finance a portion of the Acquisition and Development Costs.
The Construction Loan Agreement, the promissory note evidencing the Construction Loan, the
455 Palm Avenue - Imperial Beach Neighborhood Center Apartments Disbursement Agreement
deed of trust securing the Construction Loan and other instruments referred to in the Construction Loan Agreement are sometimes referred to collectively as the “Construction Loan Documents.” E. In addition, Borrower has agreed to provide at least $___________ in Borrower’s funds during the construction period, as set forth in subsection 1.a. below, (“Borrower’s Funds”), to pay that portion of the Acquisition and Development Costs in excess of the sum of the Authority Funds and the Construction Lender Funds.
F. The Authority Funds, Construction Lender Funds, and Borrower’s Funds are referred to collectively as the “Project Funds.” The Authority and Construction Lender are referred to collectively as the “Lenders” or individually as a “Lender”.
G. The Lenders and Borrower desire to enter into this Disbursement Agreement solely to provide for the disbursement of the Project Funds for approved Acquisition and Development Costs and to provide for cooperation among the Lenders.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:
1. Deposit and Use of Funds.
a. Borrower’s Account. The Borrower’s Funds consist of the following:

(3) In addition, Borrower’s Investor Limited Partner will disburse advances and capital contributions prior to Conversion in the approximate amount of $______________.
(4) In addition, Borrower will defer to Conversion the payment of other Acquisition and Development Costs, consisting of the capitalization of the Operating Reserve, in the approximate amount of $______________. b. Except to the extent Borrower’s Funds have been spent on Acquisition and Development Costs prior to the Construction Financing Event, or as otherwise agreed to between the Authority and Construction Lender, Borrower will deposit Borrower’s Funds (except for the deferred Developer Fee and Acquisition and Development Costs deferred until Conversion), into a fully segregated disbursement account held by the Construction Lender (the “Borrower’s Account”), or such other accounts provided for in the Construction Loan Documents (which may include bond financing documents, if applicable) at such
455 Palm Avenue - Imperial Beach Neighborhood Center Apartments Disbursement Agreement
times as the amounts are payable by the Investor Limited Partner pursuant to the Partnership Agreement.
2. Loan Balancing.
a. As used in this Disbursement Agreement, the term “Approved Costs” will mean all hard and soft Cost line items (and modifications thereto), which were approved by the Authority in connection with its approval of the Project Budget and approved by the Construction Lender in connection with the procedures of the Construction Loan Documents and which are needed for the completion of the Project.
3. Amendments to Project Budget.
a. Subject to the terms and provisions of this Disbursement Agreement, the Authority Loan Documents, and the Construction Loan Documents, a change order or Project Budget amendment (collectively referred to as a “Revision”) will require the approval of the Authority and the Construction Lender. The Authority will be deemed to have approved a requested Revision for which Construction Lender’s approval is not required under the terms of the Construction Loan Agreement, or which has been approved by the Construction Lender, if, within five (5) business days after receipt of the request for Revision, the Authority receives such explanation and/or back-up information as was received and relied upon by the Construction Lender in connection with its approval of the Revision, and if the following conditions are satisfied:
(1) To the extent the Revision is limited to a reallocation of budgeted funds among Project Budget line items without any increase in the total Project Budget, (a) the amount of the Revision does not exceed $100,000, and (b) the funds in the line item(s) to be reduced remain sufficient for completion of the Project.
(2) To the extent the Revision involves an increase in the total Acquisition and Development Costs, (a) additional funds in an amount equal to the increase in the total Acquisition and Development Costs will be provided by Borrower or a Lender if such increase is not matched with cost savings or contingency, and (b) the requested increase in the total Acquisition and Development Costs will be approved by the parties to such extent. (3) The Revision will not materially shorten the useful life of the Project or any element of the Project or materially impair the functionality of any system or component of the Project.

4. Lender Funds.
a. Authority Funds. The Authority Funds will be held by the Authority as the Authority will determine, to be disbursed as provided in this Disbursement Agreement.

The Authority Funds, Construction Lender Funds, and the Borrower’s Funds will be used exclusively for the payment of, or reimbursement for, the Acquisition and Development Costs shown in the Project Budget, as the same may be amended from time to time with the written approval of the Construction Lender and the written approval or deemed approval of the Authority (subject to paragraph b. of this Section 5). Payment of, or reimbursement for, Approved Costs will be made only after they have been incurred by the Borrower. b. Budget Amendments: Construction Lender’s Right to Disburse Funds without Authority Approval. Notwithstanding any provision of this Disbursement Agreement requiring approval by the Authority of amendments to the Project Budget, the Construction Lender will have the right, without Authority approval, to disburse Borrower’s Funds and Construction Lender Funds (as applicable) to pay interest on the Construction Loan and Approved Costs which the Authority is deemed to have approved. The parties acknowledge and agree that the Project Budget attached to this Disbursement Agreement is approved as of the date hereof.

If a Lender disapproves any portion of the amount requested by Borrower in an Application for Payment, such Lender will promptly notify the other Lenders and the Borrower of the disapproved amount and the reason therefor. A Lender’s disapproval of an amount requested in an Application for Payment is not binding on the other Lenders.
d. Concurrent Review of Applications for Payment. If requested payment for an Item in the Application for Payment is disapproved or deemed disapproved, the representatives of Borrower and the Lenders will meet promptly and in good faith to attempt to resolve the matter to their mutual satisfaction. To effectuate this paragraph, the Lenders will review each Application for Payment concurrently, and notify the other Lenders of its approval or disapproval (in whole or in part) of such request as soon as possible. Each Lender will signify its approval of an Application for Payment by signing and transmitting to the other Lenders a copy of the Application for Payment, by hard copy or facsimile transmission. e. Disbursement of Undisputed Amounts. If there is a dispute over an item included in an Application for Payment, the Lenders and Borrower will each, if and as required by paragraph b of Section 6 above, disburse the portion of the Application for Payment not in dispute, and fund the disputed amounts promptly upon resolution of the dispute. If a Lender elects to fund an amount disputed by another Lender, and the Lenders and Borrower subsequently resolve such dispute so that the Lender that disputed the amount agrees to fund the previously disputed amount, the Lender that disputed the amount will so disburse its funds to reimburse the other Lender for the amount such Lender previously funded. Disputed amounts will not be deducted from the Lenders’ respective loans, but will be available for disbursement for other Approved Costs in accordance with the Project Budget. f. Disbursement by Construction Lender to Pay Disputed Amounts. Notwithstanding any provision of this Disbursement Agreement requiring approval by all Lenders of disbursements to be made by any Lender, the Construction Lender will have the right, without the other Lenders’ approval, to disburse Borrower’s Funds and Construction Lender Funds to pay Approved Costs as provided in an Application for Payment that is not approved by the Authority, including amounts to pay cost overruns, without regard to whether such advance would cause the outstanding principal amount of the Construction Loan to exceed the original stated amount thereof. With respect to disbursements by the Construction Lender, all such amounts so advanced to pay Approved Costs will be and remain senior to the liens of the deeds of trust securing the LMIHAF Loan all on the terms and conditions set forth in the applicable subordination agreement. Notwithstanding any provision in
455 Palm Avenue - Imperial Beach Neighborhood Center Apartments Disbursement Agreement
this Agreement or any other document or instrument, disbursements of Construction Lender’s Funds pursuant to this paragraph to pay Approved Costs will be deemed approved disbursements for purposes of subordination of the LMIHAF Loan to the Construction Loan, and the subordination of the LMIHAF Loan to the Construction Loan will include all such disbursements and advances by the Construction Lender, all on terms and conditions set forth in the respective subordination agreement.
g. Right to Condition Disbursements. The Lenders will each have the right to condition a disbursement upon receipt and approval of such documentation, evidence or information that such Lender may request, including, but not limited to, vouchers, invoices, and architect’s inspector’s and/or engineer’s periodic certifications of the percentage and/or stage of construction that has been completed.
h. General Conditions Applicable to Disbursements. Disbursements will be subject to the following conditions:

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Authority and Construction Lender will each have the right in their sole discretion to make disbursements of Project Funds directly to third parties entitled to such payment.
8. Approval of Final Application for Payment
Subject to additional conditions set forth in the Construction Loan Agreement (which will not, in any event, apply to any disbursement of Authority Funds), the final contractor’s invoice (representing retention on the construction contract) will be disbursed by the Construction Lender in accordance with the Construction Loan Documents. Subject to additional conditions set forth in the Authority Loan Documents (which will not, in any event, apply to a disbursement of Construction Lender Funds), the Authority will disburse to Borrower the portion of the Authority Funds held back as retention upon Borrower’s documentation of satisfaction of all conditions precedent to Conversion.

The Borrower may make or cause to be made such other independent inspections as the Borrower may desire for its own protection.
12. Supervision of Construction.
Neither the Authority nor the Construction Lender will be under any obligation to perform any of the construction or complete the construction of the improvements on the Property, or to supervise any construction on the Property, and will not be responsible for inadequate or deficient contractors, subcontractors, materials, equipment or supplies. Neither the Authority nor the Construction Lender is an agent for any other Lender or for Borrower, nor are the Authority or the Construction Lender partners or joint venturers with any other Lender or with Borrower. Neither the Authority nor the Construction Lender will have any fiduciary duty or obligation to any other Lender or to Borrower.

c. Procedure if Party in Possession Fails to Assume Agreement. If the Authority and the Party in Possession fail to enter into an Assignment and Assumption Agreement as described in paragraph b within 90 days after termination of the Affordable Housing Agreement or Construction Lender’s foreclosure of its deed of trust (or such later date as the Party in Possession and the Authority may agree to in writing), either party may terminate this Disbursement Agreement by providing written notice of termination to the other party.

For purposes hereof, “Cost Savings”, shall mean the difference between the total sources of funds and the total cost of development as shown in the Borrower’s cost certification contained in Borrower’s application to the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee for a Form 8609 for the Project (“Tax Credit Report”); for avoidance of doubt, the Cost Savings will be adjusted to take into account (i) the loss of any equity investment due to an
455 Palm Avenue - Imperial Beach Neighborhood Center Apartments City Fees Deferral Note
adjustment in the allowable tax credits; provided that the tax credit factor applied to the required equity contribution will be as set forth in Borrower’s limited partnership agreement; and (ii) any reduction in the Senior Loans required by the Senior Loan Documents. The amount payable to City under this paragraph will be paid within sixty (60) days following submittal of the Tax Credit Report to the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee.
11. Prohibitions on Transfer.
a. Prior to the repayment in full of the Fees Deferral indebtedness and expiration of the Term of the Agreement Containing Covenants, the Borrower must not, except for Permitted Transfers or as permitted by the Affordable Housing Agreement, assign or attempt to assign the Affordable Housing Agreement or this Note or any right therein or herein, nor make any total or partial sale, transfer, conveyance or assignment of the whole or any part of the Property (referred to hereinafter as a “Transfer”), without prior written approval of the City, except as expressly permitted by the Affordable Housing Agreement or this Note. Consent to one such transaction will not be deemed to be a waiver of the right to require consent to future or successive transactions. City shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its consent. If consent should be given, any such transfer shall be subject to this Section 11, and any such transferee shall assume all obligations hereunder and agree to be bound by all provisions contained herein. b. Proposed transferees (other than an Affiliate of Borrower) must have the qualifications and financial responsibility necessary and adequate as may be reasonably determined by the City, to fulfill Borrower’s obligations undertaken in the Affordable Housing Agreement, the Agreement Containing Covenants, and this Note. A proposed transferee (including an Affiliate of Borrower), by instrument in writing satisfactory to the City and in form recordable among the land records, for itself and its successors and assigns, and for the benefit of the City must expressly assume all of Borrower’s obligations under the Affordable Housing Agreement, the Agreement Containing Covenants, and this Note and agree to be subject to all conditions and restrictions applicable to Borrower. There must be submitted to the City for review all instruments and other legal documents proposed to affect any such transfer; and if approved by the City its approval will be indicated to Borrower in writing. If consent should be given, such transfer will be subject to this Section 11.
c. In the absence of specific written agreement by the City, no unauthorized Transfer, or approval thereof by the City, will be deemed to relieve the Borrower or any other party from any obligations under the Affordable Housing Agreement, the Agreement Containing Covenants, or this Note.
d. In the event of a Transfer prior to the time the Fees Deferral indebtedness is paid in full without the prior written consent of the City, the remaining principal balance of the Fees Deferral indebtedness and all accrued but unpaid interest will be immediately due and payable.
e. As used herein, “Transfer” means
455 Palm Avenue - Imperial Beach Neighborhood Center Apartments City Fees Deferral Note
i. the sale, agreement to sell, transfer or conveyance of the Property, the Project, or any portion thereof or interest therein (including, without limitation, a beneficial interest), whether voluntary, involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise, the execution of any installment sale contract or similar instrument affecting all or a portion of the Property or Project, or the lease of all or substantially all of the Property or Project. ii. “Transfer” also includes the transfer, assignment, hypothecation or conveyance of legal or beneficial ownership of an interest in Borrower, or a conversion of Borrower to an entity form other than that of Borrower at the time of execution of the Affordable Housing Agreement, except that, a cumulative change in ownership interest of a general partner of Borrower of forty-nine percent (49%) or less will not be deemed a “Transfer” for purposes of this Note. Transfer shall not include routine changes in officers and/or board members.
12. The City will not unreasonably withhold, condition, or delay its approval of any matter for which its approval is required hereunder. The City’s disapproval will be in writing and contain the City’s reasons for disapproval.
13. The City Fees Deferral indebtedness arises from the City’s deferral of certain City fees pursuant to the Affordable Housing Agreement, and such fees would otherwise have been paid to the City by Borrower in connection with the development of the Property. Accordingly, Borrower agrees for itself, its successors and assigns that the use of the property will be subject to the restrictions on rent and occupancy set forth in the Agreement Containing Covenants.
14. Subject to the provisions and limitations of this Section 14, the obligation to repay the City Fees Deferral indebtedness is a nonrecourse obligation of the Borrower. Borrower and each general partner or limited partner of Borrower will not have any personal liability for repayment of the loan, except as provided in this Section 14. The sole recourse of City will be the exercise of its rights against the Property and other security for the Fees Deferral indebtedness.
Provided, however, that the foregoing will not (a) constitute a waiver of an obligation evidenced by this Note or the City Deed of Trust; (b) limit the right of the City to name Borrower as a party defendant in any action or suit for judicial foreclosure and sale under this Note and the City Deed of Trust or any action or proceeding hereunder so long as no judgment in the nature of a deficiency judgment will be asked for or taken against Borrower; (c) release or impair this Note or the City Deed of Trust; (d) prevent or in any way hinder the City from exercising, or constitute a defense, an affirmative defense, a counterclaim, or other basis for relief in respect of the exercise of, any other remedy against the mortgaged Property or other instrument securing the Note or as prescribed by law or in equity in case of default; (e) prevent or in any way hinder the City from exercising, or constitute a defense, an affirmative defense, a counterclaim, or other basis for relief in respect of the exercise of, its remedies in respect of deposits, insurance proceeds, condemnation awards or other monies or other collateral or letters of credit securing this Note; (f) relieve Borrower of its obligations under an indemnity delivered by Borrower to City; or (g) affect in any way the validity of a guarantee or indemnity from any person of all or any of the obligations evidenced and secured by this Note and the City Deed of Trust. The foregoing provisions of this paragraph are limited by the provision that in the event of the occurrence of a default, Borrower and its successors and assigns will have personal liability hereunder for any deficiency judgment,
455 Palm Avenue - Imperial Beach Neighborhood Center Apartments City Fees Deferral Note
but only if and to the extent Borrower, its principals, shareholders, partners or its successors and assigns received rentals, other revenues, or other payments or proceeds in respect of the mortgaged Property after the occurrence of such default, which rentals, other revenues, or other payments or proceeds have not been used for the payment of ordinary and reasonable operating expenses of the mortgaged Property, ordinary and reasonable capital improvements to the mortgaged Property, debt service, real estate taxes in respect of the mortgaged Property and basic management fees, but not incentive fees, payable to an entity or person unaffiliated with Borrower in connection with the operation of the mortgaged Property, which are then due and payable. Notwithstanding the first sentence of this paragraph, City may recover directly from Borrower or from any other party (other than Borrower’s Investor Limited Partner):
a. damages, costs and expenses incurred by the City as a result of fraud or criminal act or acts of Borrower or a partner, shareholder, officer, director or employee of Borrower, or of a member or general or limited partner of Borrower, or of a general or limited partner of such member or general or limited partner;
b. damages, costs and expenses incurred by City as a result of misappropriation of funds provided for the payment of Acquisition and Development Costs, as described in the Affordable Housing Agreement, rents and revenues from the operation of the Project, or proceeds of insurance policies or condemnation proceeds; c. all amounts owing by Borrower pursuant to the indemnification regarding Hazardous Substances under the Environmental Indemnity, and d. all court costs and attorneys’ fees reasonably incurred in enforcing or collecting upon any of the foregoing exceptions (provided that City will pay Borrower’s reasonable court costs and attorneys’ fees if Borrower is the prevailing party in such enforcement or collection action).
15. Borrower waives presentment for payment, demand, protest, and notices of dishonor and of protest; the benefits of all waivable exemptions; and all defenses and pleas on the ground of an extension or extensions of the time of payment or of a due date under this Note, in whole or in part, whether before or after maturity and with or without notice. Borrower hereby agrees to pay all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, which may be incurred by the holder hereof, in the enforcement of this Note, the City Deed of Trust or any term or provision of either thereof.
16. Upon the failure of Borrower to perform or observe a term or provision of this Note, or upon the occurrence of an event of default under the terms of the City Deed of Trust, the Affordable Housing Agreement, the Agreement Containing Covenants, or a deed of trust securing a Senior Loan, or other obligations secured by a deed of trust on the Property, and after expiration of the applicable cure period, the holder may exercise its rights or remedies hereunder or thereunder.
17. Defaults and Remedies.
455 Palm Avenue - Imperial Beach Neighborhood Center Apartments City Fees Deferral Note
a. Subject to the extensions of time set forth in Section 18, and subject to the further provisions of this Section 17, failure or delay by Borrower to perform a material term or provision of this Note, the City Deed of Trust, the Affordable Housing Agreement, the Agreement Containing Covenants, or a deed of trust securing a Senior Loan, or other obligations secured by a deed of trust on the Property, constitutes a default under this Note. b. The City will give written notice of default to Borrower, specifying the default complained of by the City. Delay in giving such notice will not constitute a waiver of any default nor will it change the time of default.
c. Failures or delays by the City in asserting its rights and remedies as to a default will not operate as a waiver of default or of such rights or remedies. Delays by the City in asserting its rights and remedies will not deprive the City of its right to institute and maintain actions or proceedings which it may deem necessary to protect, assert, or enforce such rights or remedies.
d. If a monetary event of default occurs under the terms of this Note or the City Deed of Trust, or a deed of trust securing a Senior Loan, or other obligations secured by a deed of trust on the Property, prior to exercising its remedies hereunder or thereunder the City will give Borrower, each general partner, and the Investor Limited Partner, concurrent written notice of such default. Borrower will have a reasonable period of time after such notice is given within which to cure the default prior to exercise of remedies by the City under this Note and the City Deed of Trust. In no event will the City be precluded from exercising remedies if its security becomes or is about to become materially impaired by a failure to cure a default or the default is not cured within ten (10) calendar days after the notice of default is received or deemed received. e. If a non-monetary event of default occurs under the terms of the Affordable Housing Agreement, this Note, the City Deed of Trust, the Agreement Containing Covenants, or a document implementing the Affordable Housing Agreement or a deed of trust securing a Senior Loan or other obligations secured by a deed of trust on the Property, prior to exercising its remedies hereunder or thereunder, the City will give Borrower, each General Partner, and the Investor Limited Partner, concurrent notice of such default. If the default is reasonably capable of being cured within thirty (30) calendar days after such notice is received or deemed received, Borrower will have such period to effect a cure prior to exercise of remedies by the City under the Affordable Housing Agreement, the Agreement Containing Covenants, this Note and/or the City Deed of Trust. If the default is such that it is not reasonably capable of being cured within thirty (30) days, and Borrower (i) initiates corrective action within said period, and (ii) diligently and in good faith works to effect a cure as soon as possible, then Borrower will have such additional time as is reasonably necessary to cure the default prior to the City’s exercise of remedies, but not to exceed ninety (90) days from the notice of default. If Borrower fails to take corrective action or to cure the default within the time set forth above in this Subsection 17.e, the City will give Borrower, the Senior Lender, the Investor Limited Partner written notice thereof, whereupon the Investor Limited Partner, subject to the terms of Borrower’s partnership agreement, may take such corrective action, including removing and replacing a general partner. The Investor Limited Partner will have 45 days, or such longer period as is approved by the City Manager or designee, to remove and replace
455 Palm Avenue - Imperial Beach Neighborhood Center Apartments City Fees Deferral Note
such general partner of Borrower. The City agrees to accept cures tendered by a Senior Lender or the Investor Limited Partner within the time period provided herein. Additionally, in the event the Senior Lender, or Investor Limited Partner is precluded from curing a non-monetary default due to a bankruptcy, injunction, or similar proceeding by or against Borrower or a general partner, the City agrees to forbear from completing a foreclosure (judicial or nonjudicial) during the period during which such party is so precluded from acting, not to exceed 90 days or such additional time as is reasonably approved by the City Manager or designee, provided such Senior Lender or Investor Limited Partner is otherwise in compliance with the foregoing provisions. In no event will City be precluded from exercising remedies if its security becomes or is about to become materially jeopardized by a failure to cure a default or the default is not cured within one hundred eighty (180) days after the notice of default is received or deemed received or such additional time as is reasonably approved by the City Manager or designee. f. A notice of default that is transmitted by electronic facsimile transmission followed by delivery of a “hard” copy, will be deemed delivered upon its transmission; a notice of default that is personally delivered (including by means of professional messenger service, courier service such as United Parcel Service or Federal Express, or by U.S. Postal Service), will be deemed received on the documented date of receipt by Borrower; and a notice of default that is sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt required will be deemed received on the date of receipt thereof. Notices will be sent to the following addresses:

18. Notwithstanding specific provisions of this Note, Borrower will not be deemed to be in default for failure to perform a non-monetary obligation hereunder where delays or defaults are due to war, insurrection, strikes, lock-outs, riots, floods, earthquakes, fires, casualties, acts of God, acts of the public enemy, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, freight embargoes, lack of transportation, governmental restrictions or priority, litigation, unusually severe weather, inability to secure necessary labor, material or tools, delays of any contractor, sub-contractor or supplier, acts of the City or any other public or governmental authority or entity, or any causes beyond the control or without the fault of the Borrower. An extension of time for any such cause (a “Force Majeure Delay”) will be for the period of the enforced delay and will commence to run from the
455 Palm Avenue - Imperial Beach Neighborhood Center Apartments City Fees Deferral Note
time of the commencement of the cause, if notice by Borrower is sent to the City within thirty (30) days of knowledge of the commencement of the cause. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the foregoing events will constitute a Force Majeure Delay unless and until Borrower delivers to the City written notice describing the event, its cause, when and how Borrower obtained knowledge, the date and the event commenced, and the estimated delay resulting therefrom. Borrower will deliver such written notice within thirty (30) days after it obtains actual knowledge of the event.
Times of performance under this Note may also be extended in writing by the City and Borrower, such revision approval may be denied by either party in its sole discretion.
19. If the rights created by this Note are held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable as to any part of the obligations described herein, the remaining obligations must be completely performed and paid.
20. The City Deed of Trust securing this Note and all other City Fees Deferral Loan Documents, except the Agreement Containing Covenants, have been made subordinate and junior to the claims, liens or charges of the Construction Loan Deed of Trust and all other instruments securing the Construction Loan by that certain Subordination Agreement by and among City, Borrower and Construction Lender which is being recorded concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Note and the recordation of the City Deed of Trust, and to the claims, liens or charges of any other Senior Loan and Senior Loan Documents being made and recorded at the Construction Financing Event; and will also be subordinate and junior to the claims, liens or charges of the Permanent Financing Deeds of Trust securing Senior Loans and all other instruments securing the Permanent Financing involving Senior Loans.
21. The City agrees that the lien of the City Deed of Trust will be subordinate to the extended low-income housing commitment (as such term is defined in Section 42(h)(6)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code) (the “Extended Use Agreement”) recorded against the Project; provided that such Extended Use Agreement, by its terms, must terminate upon foreclosure under the City Deed of Trust or upon a transfer of the Project by instrument in lieu of foreclosure or comparable conversion of the Loan, in accordance with Section 42(h)(6)(E) of the Internal Revenue Code. The following rule contained in Section 42(h)(6)(E)(ii) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, will also apply: for a period of three (3) years from the date of foreclosure, with respect to any unit that had been regulated by the Extended Use Agreement, (i) none of the tenants occupying those units at the time of foreclosure may be evicted or their tenancy terminated (other than for good cause), (ii) nor may any rent be increased except as otherwise permitted under Section 42 of the Code. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that a default, event of default, or breach (however such terms may be defined) under the Extended Use Agreement will be an event of default under this Note and the City Deed of Trust and that all costs, damages or other amounts, including reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by the City as a result of an event of default by Borrower, and all amounts paid by City to cure a default under the Extended Use Agreement will be an obligation of Borrower and become a part of the debt evidenced by this Note and secured by the City Deed of Trust.
22. With regard to an approval, consent, or other determination by the City required under this Note or the City Deed of Trust, the City will act reasonably and in good faith.
455 Palm Avenue - Imperial Beach Neighborhood Center Apartments City Fees Deferral Note
23. Borrower will have the right to prepay the obligation evidenced by this Note, or any part thereof, without penalty. However, prepayment of the obligation evidenced by this Note prior to the expiration of the term of the Agreement Containing Covenants will not entitle Borrower to a reconveyance of the City Deed of Trust.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Deed of Trust, Trustor will not be obligated to pay any claims for labor, materials or services which Trustor in good faith disputes and is diligently contesting, provided that Trustor will, at Beneficiary’s written request, within thirty (30) days after the filing of any claim or lien (but in any event, and without any requirement that Beneficiary must first provide a written request, prior to foreclosure) record in the Office of the Recorder of San Diego County, a surety bond in an amount one-and-one-half (1½) times the amount of such claim item to protect against a claim of lien, or provide such other security reasonably satisfactory to Beneficiary;
15. That any and all improvements made or about to be made upon the premises covered by this Deed of Trust, and all plans and specifications, comply with all applicable municipal ordinances and regulations and all other applicable regulations made or promulgated, now or hereafter, by lawful authority, and that the same will upon completion comply with all such municipal ordinances and regulations and with the rules of the applicable fire rating or inspection organization, bureau, association or office;
16. Trustor herein agrees to pay to Beneficiary or to the authorized loan servicing representative of the Beneficiary a reasonable charge for providing a statement regarding the obligation secured by this Deed of Trust as provided by Section 2954, Article 2, Chapter 2 Title 14, Division 3, of the California Civil Code.
IT IS MUTUALLY AGREED THAT:
17. Should the Property or any part thereof be taken or damaged by reason of any public improvement or condemnation proceeding, or damaged by fire, or earthquake, or in any other manner, subject to the rights of the beneficiary of the Construction Loan Deed of Trust, the Permanent Loan Deed of Trust and any other obligation having a lien on the Property that is senior to the lien of this Deed of Trust (“Senior Lender”), Beneficiary will be entitled to all
455 Palm Avenue - Imperial Beach Neighborhood Center Apartments City Deed of Trust
compensation, awards, and other payments or relief therefor which are not used to reconstruct, restore or otherwise improve the property or part thereof that was taken or damaged, and will be entitled at its option to commence, appear in and prosecute in its own name, any action or proceedings, or to make any compromise or settlement, in connection with such taking or damage.
Subject to the rights of the Senior Lenders, all such compensation, awards, damages, rights of action and proceeds which are not used to reconstruct, restore or otherwise improve the property or part thereof that was taken or damaged, including the proceeds of any policies of fire and other insurance affecting said property, are hereby assigned to Beneficiary. After deducting therefrom all its expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, the balance of the proceeds which are not used to reconstruct, restore or otherwise improve the property or part thereof that was taken or damaged, will be applied to the amount due under the Note secured hereby. No amount applied to the reduction of the principal will relieve the Trustor from making regular payments as required by the Note secured hereby;
18. Upon default by Trustor in making any payments provided for in the Note secured hereby or in this Deed of Trust, or in performing any obligation set forth in any of the Secured Obligations, and if such default is not cured within the respective time provided therefor in Section 34 of this Deed of Trust, below, Beneficiary may declare all sums secured hereby immediately due and payable by delivery to Trustee of written declaration of default and demand for sale, and of written notice of default and of election to cause the Property to be sold, which notice Trustee will cause to be duly filed for record and Beneficiary may foreclose this Deed of Trust. Beneficiary will also deposit with Trustee this Deed of Trust, the Note and all documents evidencing expenditures secured hereby;
19. a. Prior to the repayment in full of the Note and expiration of the terms of the Agreement Containing Covenants, the Trustor will not assign or attempt to assign the Affordable Housing Agreement or any right therein, nor make any total or partial sale, transfer, conveyance or assignment of the whole or any part of the Property, the Project thereon, or any portion thereof or interest therein (referred to hereinafter as a “Transfer”), without prior written approval of the Beneficiary, except for the Permitted Transfers described in Section 19.e.(3) below, or as otherwise permitted in the Note secured hereby. Consent to one such transaction will not be deemed to be a waiver of the right to require consent to future or successive transactions. Beneficiary will not unreasonably withhold or delay its consent. If consent should be given, any such transfer will be subject to this Section 19, and any such transferee will assume all obligations hereunder and agree to be bound by all provisions contained herein, subject to the provisions of paragraph e.(3) of this Section 19, below.
b. Any such proposed transferee will have the qualifications and financial responsibility necessary and adequate as may be reasonably determined by the Beneficiary, to fulfill the obligations undertaken by Trustor in the Affordable Housing Agreement and the Secured Obligations. Any such proposed transferee, by instrument in writing satisfactory to the Beneficiary and in form recordable among the land records of San Diego County, for itself and its successors and assigns, and for the benefit of the Beneficiary will expressly assume all of the obligations of the Trustor under the Affordable Housing Agreement and the Secured Obligations, and agree to
455 Palm Avenue - Imperial Beach Neighborhood Center Apartments City Deed of Trust
be subject to all conditions and restrictions applicable to the Trustor in this Deed of Trust. There will be submitted to the Beneficiary for review all instruments and other legal documents proposed to effect any such transfer; and if approved by the Beneficiary its approval will be indicated to the Trustor in writing.
c. In the absence of specific written agreement by the Beneficiary, no unauthorized Transfer, or approval thereof by the Beneficiary, will be deemed to relieve the Trustor or any other party from any obligations under the Affordable Housing Agreement or any other Secured Obligations.
d. In the event of a Transfer without the prior written consent of the Beneficiary, prior to the time the City Fees Deferral Loan is paid in full, the net proceeds (after repayment in full of any Senior Loan and the reconveyance of the Senior Loan Deed of Trust or Permanent Loan Deed of Trust), will be paid to the Beneficiary to the extent necessary to pay in full the accrued interest, if any, current interest and remaining principal balance of the City Fees Deferral Loan and the Note.
e. (1) As used herein, “Transfer” includes the sale, agreement to sell, transfer or conveyance of the Property, the Project, or any portion thereof or interest therein, whether voluntary, involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise, the execution of any installment land sale contract or similar instrument affecting all or a portion of the Property or Project, or the lease of all or substantially all of the Property or Project, except as provided in subparagraph e.(3) of this Section 19, below.
(2) “Transfer” will also include the transfer, assignment, hypothecation or conveyance of legal or beneficial ownership of any interest in Trustor, or any conversion of Trustor to an entity form other than that of Trustor at the time of execution of the Affordable Housing Agreement, except that a cumulative change in ownership interest of any general partner of fortynine percent (49%) or less will not be deemed a “transfer” for purposes of this Deed of Trust. (3) “Notwithstanding paragraphs (1) and (2), above, “Transfer” will not include any of the following Permitted Transfers, provided (except for subsection (f) below) Trustor, a general partner of Trustor, or an Affiliate of such general partner, retains day-to-day control over management of the Property and Improvements:
(a) An assignment of the Affordable Housing Agreement and sale of all of Trustor’s interest in the Property to an Affiliate, or a sale back to Trustor, which will be subject to the reasonable approval of Beneficiary’s City Manager or designee; (b) A conveyance of a security interest in the Property in connection with a Senior Loan; provided that, a refinancing that increases the principal balance of the Senior Loan, increases the principal and interest payments required under the Senior Loan, changes the maturity of the Senior Loan, increases the interest rate of the Senior Loan, or otherwise changes the Senior Loan terms in a manner that creates an adverse effect upon the Beneficiary will not be
455 Palm Avenue - Imperial Beach Neighborhood Center Apartments City Deed of Trust
considered a Permitted Transfer and must be approved by Beneficiary’s City Manager or designee; (c) The inclusion of equity participation by Trustor by addition of limited partners to Trustor’s partnership, or similar mechanisms, and any transfers of limited partnership interests in Trustor’s partnership;
(d) The leasing for occupancy of all or any part of the Improvements on the Property, in accordance with the Affordable Housing Agreement and the Agreement Containing Covenants;
(e) The granting of easements or permits to facilitate the development of the Property in accordance with the Affordable Housing Agreement; (f) In addition, the withdrawal, removal and/or replacement of a general partner of Trustor’s partnership pursuant to the terms of the Trustor’s partnership agreement or a conveyance of Trustor’s interest in the Property and the Improvements or a transfer of limited partnership interests to a general partner pursuant to the option provided to that partner in Trustor’s partnership agreement will not constitute a default under this Deed of Trust or any of the Secured Obligations, nor will such actions accelerate the maturity of the City Fees Deferral Loan, provided that any required substitute general partner, is reasonably acceptable to the Beneficiary and is selected with reasonable promptness; and, (g) Any transfer approved in writing by Beneficiary’s City Manager or designee, at his or her sole discretion.
Transfers described in clauses (a), (b), or (c) will be subject to the reasonable approval of the Beneficiary’s City Manager or designee; provided that, the Beneficiary approves the transfer of limited partner interests in Trustor’s partnership, so long as such transfer is not a result of a resyndication of the Low Income Housing Tax Credits and does not otherwise result in increased equity participation in Trustor, and further provided that such transfer is not to a Prohibited Person or would otherwise violate Anti-Terrorism Laws.
f. The Beneficiary will not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its approval of any matter for which its approval is required hereunder.
Any disapproval will be in writing and contain the Beneficiary’s reasons for disapproval.
20. After the lapse of such time as may then be required by law following the recordation of said notice of default, and notice of sale having been given as then required by law, Trustee, without demand on Trustor, will sell said property at the time and place fixed by it in said notice of sale, either as a whole or in separate parcels, and in such order as it may determine at public auction to the highest bidder for cash in lawful money of the United States, payable at time of sale. Trustee may postpone sale of all or any portion of said property by public announcement at the time and place of sale, and from time to time thereafter may postpone the sale by public announcement at the time and place of sale, and from time to time thereafter may postpone the
455 Palm Avenue - Imperial Beach Neighborhood Center Apartments City Deed of Trust
sale by public announcement at the time fixed by the preceding postponement. Trustee will deliver to the purchaser its Deed conveying the property so sold, but without any covenant or warranty, express or implied. The recitals in the Deed of any matters or facts will be conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof. Any person, including Trustor, Trustee or Beneficiary, may purchase at the sale. The Trustee will apply the proceeds of sale to payment of (1) the expenses of such sale, together with the reasonable expenses of this trust including therein reasonable Trustee’s fees or attorney’s fees for conducting the sale, and the actual cost of publishing, recording, mailing and posting notice of the sale; (2) the cost of any search and/or other evidence of title procured in connection with such sale and revenue stamps on Trustee’s Deed; (3) all sums expended under the terms hereof, not then repaid, with accrued interest at the rate specified in the Note; (4) all other sums then secured hereby; and (5) the remainder, if any, to the person or persons legally entitled thereto;
21. Beneficiary may from time to time substitute a successor or successors to any Trustee named herein or acting hereunder to execute this Trust. Upon such appointment, and without conveyance to the successor trustee, the latter will be vested with all title, powers, and duties conferred upon any Trustee herein named or acting hereunder. Each such appointment and substitution will be made by written instrument executed by Beneficiary, containing reference to this Deed of Trust and its place of record, which, when duly recorded in the proper office of the county or counties in which the property is situated, will be conclusive proof of proper appointment of the successor trustee;
22. The pleading of any statute of limitations as a defense to any and all obligations secured by this Deed of Trust is hereby waived to the full extent permissible by law;
23. Upon written request of Beneficiary stating that all sums secured hereby have been paid and all obligations secured hereby have been satisfied, and upon surrender of this Deed of Trust and the Note to Trustee for cancellation and retention and upon payment of its fees, Trustee will reconvey, without warranty, the property then held hereunder. The recitals in such reconveyance of any matters or fact will be conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof. The grantee in such reconveyance may be described as “the person or persons legally entitled thereto”;
24. The trust created hereby is irrevocable by Trustor;
25. This Deed of Trust applies to, inures to the benefit of, and binds all parties hereto, their heirs, legatees, devisees, administrators, executors, successors, and assigns. The term “Beneficiary” will include not only the original Beneficiary hereunder but also any future owner and holder including pledgees, of the Note secured hereby. In this Deed of Trust, whenever the context so requires, the masculine gender includes the feminine and/or neuter, and the singular number includes the plural. All obligations of Trustor hereunder are joint and several;
26. Trustee accepts this Trust when this Deed of Trust, duly executed and acknowledged, is made public record as provided by law. Except as otherwise provided by law the Trustee is not obligated to notify any party hereto of pending sale under this Deed of Trust or
455 Palm Avenue - Imperial Beach Neighborhood Center Apartments City Deed of Trust
of any action of proceeding in which Trustor, Beneficiary, or Trustee will be a party unless brought by Trustee;
27. The undersigned Trustor requests that a copy of any notice of default and of any notice of sale hereunder be mailed to Trustor at the following address:
28. Trustor agrees at any time and from time to time upon receipt of a written request from Beneficiary, to furnish to Beneficiary detailed statements in writing of income, rents, profits, and operating expenses of the premises, and the names of the occupants and tenants in possession, together with the expiration dates of their leases and full information regarding all rental and occupancy agreements, and the rents provided for by such leases and rental and occupancy agreements, and such other information regarding the premises and their use as may be requested by Beneficiary.
29. Trustor agrees that the loan secured by this Deed of Trust is made expressly for the purpose of financing the acquisition, development and construction of the Improvements, including 49 dwelling units of affordable housing (plus one manager’s unit) for Extremely Low Income, Very Low Income, and Low Income Senior Citizen Households, and such dwelling units will be occupied exclusively by such persons as set forth in the Secured Obligations.
30. Trustor agrees that, except as otherwise provided in the Note secured hereby, upon sale or refinancing of the Property, the entire principal balance of the debt secured by this Deed of Trust, plus any accrued but unpaid interest thereon, will at the option of Beneficiary be immediately due and payable.
31. The obligation to repay the City Fees Deferral Loan is a nonrecourse obligation of the Trustor and its partners. Neither Trustor nor any of its general or limited partners, nor any other party, will have any personal liability for repayment of the loan. The sole recourse of Beneficiary will be the exercise of its rights against the Property and any related security for the City Fees Deferral Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Beneficiary may recover directly from Trustor or from any other party (other than Trustor’s Investor Limited Partner):
(a) any damages, costs and expenses incurred by Beneficiary as a result of fraud or any criminal act or acts of Trustor or any partner, shareholder, officer, director or employee of Trustor, or of any member or general or limited partner of Trustor, or of any general or limited partner of such member or general or limited partner;
455 Palm Avenue - Imperial Beach Neighborhood Center Apartments City Deed of Trust
(b) any damages, costs and expenses incurred by Beneficiary as a result of any misappropriation of funds provided for the construction of the Improvements, rents and revenues from the operation of the Improvements or proceeds of insurance policies or condemnation proceeds;
(c) any and all amounts owing by Trustor pursuant to the indemnification regarding Hazardous Substances pursuant to the Environmental Indemnity, and (d) all court costs and attorneys’ fees reasonably incurred in enforcing or collecting upon any of the foregoing exceptions (provided that Beneficiary will pay Trustor’s reasonable court costs and attorneys’ fees if Trustor is the prevailing party in any such enforcement or collection action).
32. Notwithstanding specific provisions of this Deed of Trust, non-monetary performance hereunder will not be deemed to be in default where delays or defaults are proximately caused by any of the following Force Majeure events, provided such event actually delays and interferes with the timely performance of the matter, and, despite the exercise of diligence and good business practices, such event is beyond the reasonable control of Trustor:
War; insurrection; strikes; lock-outs; riots; floods; earthquakes; fires; casualties; acts of God; acts of the public enemy; acts of terrorism, epidemics; quarantine restrictions; freight embargoes; lack of transportation; governmental restrictions or priority; litigation including litigation challenging the validity of this transaction or any element thereof; unusually severe weather; inability to secure necessary labor, materials or tools; delays of any contractor, subcontractor, or suppliers; acts of the other party; acts or failure to act of any Governmental City (except acts or failure to act of the Beneficiary will not excuse performance by the Beneficiary); the imposition of any applicable moratorium by a Governmental City; or any other causes which despite the exercise of diligence and good business practices are or would be beyond the reasonable control of the party claiming such delay and interference. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the foregoing events will constitute a Force Majeure Event unless and until Trustor delivers to Beneficiary written notice describing the event, its cause, when and how Trustor obtained knowledge, the date the event commenced, and the estimated delay resulting therefrom. Trustor will deliver such written notice within fifteen (15) days after it obtains actual knowledge of the event.
33. If the rights and liens created by this Deed of Trust will be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable as to any part of the obligations described herein, the unsecured portion of such obligations will be completely performed and paid prior to the performance and payment of the remaining and secured portion of the obligations, and all performance and payments made by Trustor will be considered to have been performed and paid on and applied first to the complete payment of the unsecured portion of the obligations.
34. (a) Subject to the extensions of time set forth in Section 32, and subject to the further provisions of this Section 34, failure or delay by Trustor to perform any term or provision respectively required to be performed under the Secured Obligations or this Deed of Trust constitutes a default under this Deed of Trust.
455 Palm Avenue - Imperial Beach Neighborhood Center Apartments City Deed of Trust
(b) Beneficiary will give written notice of default to Trustor, specifying the default complained of by the Beneficiary. Delay in giving such notice will not constitute a waiver of any default nor will it change the time of default.
(c) Any failures or delays by Beneficiary in asserting any of its rights and remedies as to any default will not operate as a waiver of any default or of any such rights or remedies. Delays by Beneficiary in asserting any of its rights and remedies will not deprive Beneficiary of its right to institute and maintain any actions or proceedings which it may deem necessary to protect, assert, or enforce any such rights or remedies. (d) If a monetary event of default occurs, prior to exercising any remedies hereunder, prior to exercising its remedies, Beneficiary will give Trustor, each general partner, and the Investor Limited Partner, concurrent written notice of such default. Trustor will have a reasonable period of time after such notice is given within which to cure the default prior to exercise of remedies by the Beneficiary under this Deed of Trust. In no event will the Beneficiary be precluded from exercising remedies if its security becomes or is about to become materially impaired by a failure to cure a default or the default is not cured within ten (10) calendar days after the notice of default is received or deemed received.
(e) If a non-monetary event of default occurs, prior to exercising any remedies hereunder, Beneficiary will give Trustor, each general partner, and the Investor Limited Partner, concurrent notice of such default. If the default is reasonably capable of being cured within thirty (30) calendar days after such notice is received or deemed received, Trustor will have such period to effect a cure prior to exercise of remedies by the Beneficiary under this Deed of Trust. If the default is such that it is not reasonably capable of being cured within thirty (30) days, and Trustor (i) initiates corrective action within said period, and (ii) diligently and in good faith works to effect a cure as soon as possible, then Trustor will have such additional time as is reasonably necessary to cure the default prior to the Beneficiary’s exercise of remedies. If Trustor fails to take corrective action or to cure the default within the time set forth above in this subsection (e), Beneficiary will give Trustor, the Senior Lender, and the Investor Limited Partner written notice thereof, whereupon the Investor Limited Partner, subject to the terms of Trustor’s partnership agreement, may take such corrective action, including removing and replacing a general partner. The Investor Limited Partner will have 45 days, or such longer period as is approved by the Beneficiary City Manager or designee, to remove and replace such general partner of Trustor. Beneficiary agrees to accept cures tendered by a Senior Lender or the Investor Limited Partner within the time period provided herein. Additionally, in the event the Senior Lender or Investor Limited Partner is precluded from curing a non-monetary default due to a bankruptcy, injunction, or similar proceeding by or against Trustor or a general partner, Beneficiary agrees to forbear from completing a foreclosure (judicial or nonjudicial) during the period during which such party is so precluded from acting, not to exceed 90 days or such additional time as is reasonably approved by the Beneficiary City Manager or designee, provided such Senior Lender or Investor Limited Partner is otherwise in compliance with the foregoing provisions. In no event will Beneficiary be precluded from exercising remedies if its security becomes or is about to become materially jeopardized by a failure to cure a default or the default is not cured within one hundred eighty
455 Palm Avenue - Imperial Beach Neighborhood Center Apartments City Deed of Trust
(180) days after the notice of default is received or deemed received or such additional time as is reasonably approved by the Beneficiary City Manager or designee. (f) Reserved.
(g) Any notice of default that is transmitted by electronic facsimile transmission followed by delivery of a “hard” copy, will be deemed delivered upon its transmission; any notice of default that is personally delivered (including by means of professional messenger service, courier service such as United Parcel Service or Federal Express, or by U.S. Postal Service), will be deemed received on the documented date of receipt by Trustor; and any notice of default that is sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt required will be deemed received on the date of receipt thereof.
35. This Deed of Trust will be subordinate and junior to the Construction Loan Deed of Trust. Following the reconveyance of the lien of the Construction Loan Deed of Trust, this Deed of Trust will be subordinate and junior to the deed of trust in favor of the maker of any permanent or take-out loan (each of which loans is referred to herein as a “Permanent Loan”), as described in the Note secured hereby. The City Manager of the Beneficiary or designee will execute such instruments as may be necessary to subordinate the lien of this Deed of Trust and the Secured Obligations, but not the Agreement Containing Covenants to the deed of trust securing the Construction Loan, the Permanent Loan, and any regulatory agreement recorded in connection with the issuance of the Low Income Housing Tax Credits. In the event of a default or breach by Trustor of any security instrument securing a Senior Loan described in this Section 35, Beneficiary will have the right to cure the default prior to completion of any foreclosure. In such event, Beneficiary will be entitled to reimbursement by Trustor of all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Beneficiary in curing the default. The amount of any such disbursements will be a lien against the Subject Property and added to the obligation secured by this Deed of Trust until repaid, with interest at the highest rate permitted by law.
36. The Trustor has informed the Beneficiary that Trustor intends that the Project qualify for an allocation of low-income housing tax credits under Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code (“Tax Credits”). In order to receive an allocation of Tax Credits, the Trustor will be required to record in the real property records of the County of San Diego an “extended lowincome housing commitment” (as defined in Code Section 42(h)(6)(B)) (the “Extended Use Agreement”). If the Trustor demonstrates to the reasonable satisfaction of the Beneficiary that the Tax Credit Allocation Committee or applicable federal law requires that the lien of this Deed of Trust be subordinate to the Extended Use Agreement, then the Beneficiary will execute a subordination agreement (“Extended Use Subordination Agreement”) wherein the lien of this Deed of Trust is subordinated to the Extended Use Agreement. The Extended Use Subordination Agreement will:
(a) provide that such Extended Use Agreement, by its terms, must terminate upon foreclosure under this Deed of Trust or upon a transfer of the Property by instrument in lieu
455 Palm Avenue - Imperial Beach Neighborhood Center Apartments City Deed of Trust
of foreclosure or comparable conversion of the City Fees Deferral Loan in accordance with Section 42(h)(6)(E) of the Internal Revenue Code;
(b) provide that the following rule contained in Section 42(h)(6)(E)(ii) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, will also apply: for a period of three (3) years from the date of foreclosure, with respect to any unit that had been regulated by the Extended Use Agreement, (i) none of the tenants occupying those units at the time of foreclosure may be evicted or their tenancy terminated (other than for good cause), (ii) nor may any rent be increased except as otherwise permitted under Section 42 of the Code;
(c) provide that Trustor acknowledges and agrees that any default, event of default, or breach (however such terms may be defined) under the Extended Use Agreement will be an event of default under this Deed of Trust and that any costs, damages or other amounts, including reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Beneficiary as a result of an event of default by Trustor, and any amounts paid by Beneficiary to cure any default under the Extended Use Agreement will be an obligation of Trustor and become a part of the debt evidenced by the Note and secured by this Deed of Trust; and
(d) otherwise be in a form reasonably acceptable to Beneficiary.
37. This Deed of Trust will be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in that certain Subordination Agreement recorded concurrently herewith by and among the Trustor, Senior Lender, and the Beneficiary, as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or modified from time to time.

ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT:
Parks & Recreation
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Request approval of the 2024 Military Appreciation Veterans Day special event application and the reservation of Dunes Park on Monday, November 11, 2024.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council approve the special event application, including a request to serve alcohol and activate Dunes Park as a special event venue for the 2024 Military Appreciation Veterans Day on Monday, November 11, 2024. Staff further recommends that City Council approve the associated fee waiver request.
OPTIONS:
Approve the request as presented; or
Modify the proposed event; or
Request additional information and a supplemental report.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
The Chamber of Commerce, Fleet Reserve Association, V.F.W. and American Legion partner annually to host Military Appreciation Day on Veterans Day at Dunes Park. This free event honors military veterans, active service members, and their families. Held from 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., the event offers free catered meals, live music from one or two bands, a beer garden, and allows local organizations to host informational booths.
The Military Appreciation Day event utilizes the entirety of Dunes Park, including the basketball court and parking lot, from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. to accommodate set-up, the event itself, and post-event clean up. Historically, contracts with local vendors for food and beer services had been provided, adhering to all Alcoholic Beverage Control regulations.
The applicant has requested support from City staff for the 2024 event and waiver of eligible fees.
In accordance with the Special Event Fee Waiver and Sponsorship Policy, this event qualifies for a fee waiver and receive a fee waiver under the policy as a local non-profit is working to produce the free event. The City Council may consider waving the event fees for the event on Monday, November 11th. The application fee, direct cost, and staff time are not eligible for a fee waiver or reduction per the Policy. The permit application states that the event will be free for all who attend and that they partner to host annual veteran’s events and resource fairs.
P a g e | 2
Should City Council approved the event and fee waiver, event conditions would include a standard non-disparagement clause and waiver and release agreement. Additionally, a post-event presentation must be provided to the City Council within 60 days, detailing attendees, community benefits, positive economic impact, and a financial overview.
In response to a request from the newly formed Veterans & Military Affairs Committee (VMAC), representatives from the Chamber of Commerce, Fleet Reserve Association, V.F.W. and American Legion presented the Military Appreciation Veterans Day event at a special VMAC meeting on Monday, September 30, 2024. During this meeting, VMAC recommended that City staff take over the coordination of this annual event, working in partnership with veteran organizations and the Imperial Beach Chamber. City staff will return to the City Council with a comprehensive report on this recommendation; these details are being provided to the City Council for informational purposes only and no Council action is required in response to the VMAC recommendation at this time.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:
Not a project as defined by CEQA.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This event requires special event fees, including staff support fees, to ensure the safety of patrons and to assist with the park closure, parking lot closure, utility setup support, and medical response should an incident occur. The fees would be paid directly by the event producer prior to the event and a special event permit being issued. Any related cost, including staff cost not billed before the event would be invoiced after the event as a “cost recovery” based on actual additional staff time that occurred during the event.
The event series also requests a special event fee waiver for the event totaling $1,919.00. The application fee, direct cost, and staff time are not eligible for a fee waiver or reduction per the Policy.
The fiscal impact associated with this action includes staff support to ensure the safety of patrons and to assist with the park closure, parking lot closure, utility setup support, and medical response should an incident occur. Full cost recovery for staff time will be billed to the applicant according to the current fee schedule.

ITEM TITLE: REVIEW AND DISCUSSION OF THE 2024 SUN & SEA FESTIVAL EVENT PRESENTATION, FINANCIAL REPORT, AND CITY’S SPONSORSHIP. (1040-10) ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT:
City Manager
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
On April 3, 2024, the City Council approved a special event permit and conditionally authorized financial support by the City for the 2024 Sun & Sea Festival, hosted by the Sun & Sea Festival Committee on Saturday, August 17, 2024. As part of the special event terms and conditions, the event organizer must present a formal overview and a detailed financial report to the City Council post-event.
RECOMMENDATION:
The recommendation is that the City Council accept and file the presentation and financial report from the event organizer and provide further direction to staff as needed regarding the City’s sponsorship of the event.
OPTIONS:
Accept and file the report
Request additional information and a supplemental report Provide direction to the City Manager
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
The Sun and Sea Festival, originated in 1960 as a tribute to the incorporation of Imperial Beach, evolved to become the U.S. Open Sandcastle Competition from 1980 to 2011. Over the years, the event has featured major sand sculptures, live music at Pier Plaza, and family activities at Dunes Park. The event was not held in 2023 due to various factors.
At the May 5, 2023 City Council meeting, the City Council discussed the matter with the event coordinator and requested a follow-up discussion later in the year when it could be identified what City resources would be required to hold the event in 2024. At the December 6, 2023 City Council meeting, Councilmember Fisher was designated to meet with the Committee to explore unique, cost-effective ideas reminiscent of the past, while addressing water quality concerns. The Sun & Sea Festival Committee ultimately submitted a special event application for August 17, 2024, proposing a Mega Castle, live entertainment, vendors, and street closure along Seacoast Drive.
The Kids N’ Kastles family activity at Dunes Park was not initially included in this application.
On April 3, 2024, the City Council conditionally approved the event, allowing planning to commence for the special event deadlines and the required City in-kind support requested by the applicant.
P a g e | 2
On April 27, 2024, the City issued the Special Event Conditions of Approval based on Council’s direction. After meeting all conditions, the Sun and Sea Festival event was permitted with City support. The Sun & Sea Festival event took place on Saturday, August 17th, 2024.

The Sun & Sea Festival Committee paid the City $805.00 in special event business license fees, including vendor permits. The event included a Mega Castle, food vendors, live entertainment, and a street closure. Although the Kids N’ Kastles activity was not originally included in the event application, it was permitted administratively following the initial City Council authorization due to its positive impact on children. Recognizing the value of this activity for engaging families and providing an enriching experience for young attendees, the City approved it to enhance the overall community benefit of the event. Kids N’ Kastles set up north of the Imperial Beach Pier in close proximity to other event actitivies.
P a g e | 4
As part of the special event terms and conditions, the event organizer is required to return to the City Council with a formal presentation and a detailed financial report following the event. The presentation should include the number of attendees, benefits to the community, positive economic impact as a result of the event, beneficiary of funds, and overview of the event budget and future outlook. The financial report is attached (Attachment 1), and a PowerPoint presentation will be provided at the meeting.
In considering future sponsorship of the Sun & Sea Festival, staff recommends addressing key issues observed during this year’s event to improve safety, efficiency, and resource allocation.
Some vendors did not meet essential safety standards, such as securing canopies with appropriate weights or providing fire extinguishers to meet event requirements. Additionally, the full road closure may not have been necessary, as only a small number of vendors occupied the closed streets, resulting in underutilized space, though it is recognized that it allowed for a more pedestrian friendly environment. Adjusting the street layout to match vendor needs could reduce staffing costs to the City associated with road closures. Addressing these factors in advance would enhance event safety, organization, and cost-effectiveness in the future.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:
Not a project as defined by CEQA.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The City’s fiscal impact for sponsoring the 2024 Sun & Sea Festival event totaled approximately $17,346, covering in-kind contributions such as staff support for setup, cleanup, road closures from Elder Avenue to Evergreen Avenue, and security, as well as fee waivers for permits, facility rentals and additional services based on the City’s 2024 fee schedule. The City also funded event insurance, security, and law enforcement, with certain costs varying depending on attendance and vendor numbers. Future sponsorship costs would depend on the size, timing, layout, and specific activities included in the upcoming Sun & Sea Festival events, as these factors influence the level of support and resources required.

ITEM TITLE: RESOLUTION NO. 2024-083 TO AWARD A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
CONTRACT TO CR ASSOCIATES FOR THE PROJECT APPROVAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL
DOCUMENTATION PHASE OF THE PALM AVENUE COMPLETE MULTIMODAL CORRIDOR PROJECT (S22109). (0720-25)
ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT:
Public Works
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Resolution No, 2024-083 awards a consultant contract for professional services to complete the Project Approval & Environmental Documentation (PA&ED) Phase of the Palm Avenue Complete Multimodal Corridor Project (S22109). The City successfully applied for a Cycle 6 Active Transportation Program (ATP) grant and also received TransNet Major Corridors funding to support the design and construction of this Project. This will be a multi-benefit project to address storm water, active transportation, landscaping, aesthetic and safety improvements on Palm Avenue.
Once the PA&ED Phase is complete, City staff would return to City Council to provide an update on the Project and award a consultant contract for professional services to CR Associates for the Right-of-Way (R/W) Phase and Plans, Specifications & Estimate (PS&E) Phase.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Resolution No. 2024-083 to award a consultant contract for professional services up to $1,150,000 to CR Associates to complete the Project Approval & Environmental Documentation Phase of the Palm Avenue Complete Multimodal Corridor Project.
OPTIONS:
Adopt Resolution to award a consultant contract for professional services to CR Associates to complete the PA&ED Phase for the Palm Avenue Complete Multimodal Corridor Project; or
Request additional information and an additional report.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
Palm Avenue is a critical corridor for the local community and region as it provides access to essential destinations including schools, beaches, library, regional employers, transit facilities, residential homes, and commercial centers where people can access restaurants, grocery stores, and other daily services.
The City is fortunate to have been awarded a State ATP grant and TransNet Major Corridor funds to rehabilitate Palm Avenue within the City of Imperial Beach to make storm water, active
P a g e | 2
transportation, landscaping, aesthetic and safety improvements. The project would provide enhanced travel experience and environment for motorized and non-motorized users through the implementation of protected bike facilities, transit boarding islands, upgraded sidewalks with landscaping, traffic calming features, and intersection improvements. A review of the existing conditions and previous planning efforts/outreach demonstrated the need to address multiple community concerns along the corridor including safety, connectivity, and protection/visibility of vulnerable users such as children, pedestrians, and bicyclists. The proposed improvements would be designed to address these identified community concerns and ensure a safer corridor.
The City advertised a Request for Proposals (RFP) for consultant services to complete the environmental, engineering and specifications for the Project on August 2, 2024.
The City received six qualified proposals that were independently evaluated and ranked relative to the criteria described in the RFP. The first round of evaluations identified three principal firms that were invited for formal interviews with City Staff held on October 3, 2024. The staff interview panel found CR Associates to be the most qualified to provide the services for the Project.
CR Associates had a total fee of $3,343,000 broken up between PA&ED, R/W, PS&E and Construction Support. The PA&ED Phase totaled $1,038,000.
On October 18, 2023, through Resolution No. 2023-84, City Council accepted and appropriated $150,000 in ATP grant funds for the PA&ED Phase of the Palm Avenue Complete Multimodal Corridor Project (S22109).
The ATP grant also includes $120,000 for the R/W Phase and $1,100,000 for the PS&E Phase.
Although these funds are already included in City’s current biennial budget, City staff would need to make a formal allocation request to the State for the awarded R/W and PS&E funds after the PA&ED Phase is complete.
Additionally, there is $2,000,000 programmed in the 2025 Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP) for Environmental/Engineering for the Project in TransNet Major Corridors funding evenly split between this fiscal year and next fiscal year. The 2025 RTIP Program of Projects for the City of Imperial Beach was approved by City Council on June 18, 2024.
Resolution No. 2024-83 awards a consultant contract for professional services up to $1,150,000 to CR Associates to complete the PA&ED Phase. The current available funds for PA&ED are $150,000 in State ATP grant funds and $1,000,000 in TransNet Major Corridors funds. Once the PA&ED Phase is complete, City staff will return to Council to provide an update on the Project and request approval for a consultant contract for professional services with CR Associates for the R/W and PS&E Phases.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:
Awarding a contract for professional services is not a project as defined by CEQA Guidelines Section 15378. Future consideration of the project would require environmental analysis.
FISCAL IMPACT:
