All funds received in the Escrow shall be deposited with other escrow funds in a general escrow account(s) and may be transferred to any other such escrow trust account in any State or National Bank doing business in the State of California. All disbursements shall be made by check from such account.

If in the opinion of either party it is necessary or convenient in order to accomplish the Closing, such party may require that the parties sign supplemental escrow instructions; provided that if there is any inconsistency between this Agreement and the supplemental escrow instructions, then the provisions of this Agreement shall control. The parties agree to execute such other and further documents as may be reasonably necessary, helpful or appropriate to effectuate the provisions of this Agreement. The Closing shall take place when both Authority’s Conditions Precedent and Developer’s Conditions Precedent as set forth in Section 206 have been satisfied.

(e) Do such other actions as necessary, including obtaining the Title Policy, to fulfill its obligations with respect to the Site under this Agreement. (f) Within the discretion of the Escrow Agent and, if necessary, direct Authority and Developer to execute and deliver any instrument, affidavit, and statement, and to perform any act reasonably necessary to comply with the provisions of FIRPTA and any similar state act and regulation promulgated thereunder. Authority agrees to execute a Certificate of Non-Foreign Status and/or a Certification of Compliance with Real Estate Reporting Requirement of the 1986 Tax Reform Act as may be required by the Escrow Agent, on a form or forms to be supplied by the Escrow Agent. 10 (g) Prepare and file with all appropriate governmental or taxing authorities a uniform settlement statement, closing statement, tax withholding forms including an IRS 1099-S form, and be responsible for withholding taxes, if any such forms are provided for or required by law. (h) Verify that this Agreement has been properly executed by the parties prior to the Closing.
203.4Closing. The conveyance of the Site shall close by accomplishment of conveyance of the Site to Developer and receipt by Authority of the Purchase Price (the “Closing”) within thirty (30) days after the satisfaction of all of Authority’s and Developer’s Conditions Precedent as set forth in Section 206 and no later than the Outside Date. The “Closing” shall mean the time and day the Site Grant Deed is filed for record with the Los Angeles County Recorder. The “Closing Date” shall mean the day on which the Closing occurs.
203.5Termination. If the Escrow is not in condition to close by the Outside Date, then either party which has fully performed under this Agreement may, in writing, demand the return of money or property, terminate the Escrow, and terminate this Agreement. If either party makes a written demand for return of documents or properties, Escrow shall not terminate until five (5) days after the Escrow Agent shall have delivered copies of such demand to all other parties at the respective addresses shown in this Agreement. If any objections are raised within said five (5) day period, the Escrow Agent is authorized to hold all papers and documents until instructed by a court of competent jurisdiction or by mutual written instructions of the parties. Termination of the Escrow shall be without prejudice as to whatever legal rights either party may have against the other arising from this Agreement. If no demands are made, the Escrow Agent shall proceed with the Closing as soon as possible.
203.6Closing Procedure. The Escrow Agent shall close the Escrow for the Site as follows:
(a) Verify execution of this Agreement by the parties;
(b) Record the Site Grant Deed, with instructions for the Recorder of Los Angeles County, California to deliver the Site Grant Deed to Developer; (c) Record the CC&Rs, with instructions for the Recorder of Los Angeles County, California to deliver the recorded CC&Rs to the Authority; (d) Instruct the Title Company to deliver the Title Policy to Developer; (e) Disburse the Purchase Price, less Authority’s costs of the Closing, to Authority;
(f) File any informational reports required by Internal Revenue Code Section 6045(e), as amended, and any other applicable requirements; (g) Deliver the FIRPTA Certificate, if any, to Developer; (h) Forward to both Authority and Developer a separate accounting of all funds received and disbursed for each party and copies of all executed and recorded or filed documents deposited into the Escrow, with such recording and filing date and information endorsed thereon; and (i) Record documents requested by Developer subsequent to the recordation of the Site Grant Deed.
204. Review of Title. Within sixty (60) days after the Date of Agreement, Authority shall cause First American Title Company (the “Title Company”), to deliver to Developer an ALTA 11 preliminary title report (the “Report”) with respect to the title to the Site, together with legible copies of the documents underlying the exceptions (“Exceptions”) set forth in the Report. Developer shall have the right to reasonably approve or disapprove the Exceptions.

Within the time set forth in the Schedule of Performance, Developer shall give written notice to Authority and the Escrow Agent of Developer’s approval or disapproval of any of such Exceptions. Developer’s failure to give written disapproval of the Report within such time limit shall be deemed approval of the Report and the Exceptions set forth therein. If Developer notifies Authority of its disapproval of any Exceptions in the Report, Authority shall have the right, but not the obligation, to remove any disapproved Exceptions within five (5) days after receiving written notice of Developer’s disapproval or provide assurances reasonably satisfactory to Developer that such Exception(s) will be removed on or before the Closing. If Authority cannot or does not elect to remove any of the disapproved Exceptions within that period, Authority shall provide written notice of such election to Developer within such five (5) day period. Developer shall then have ten (10) business days after the expiration of such five (5) business day period to either give Authority written notice that Developer elects to proceed with the purchase of the Site subject to the disapproved Exceptions or to give Authority written notice that Developer elects to terminate this Agreement. Developer shall have the right to approve or disapprove any Exceptions reported by the Title Company after Developer has approved the Report for the Site (which are not created by Developer). Authority shall not voluntarily create any new exceptions to title following the Date of Agreement. 205. Title Insurance. Concurrently with recordation of the Site Grant Deed conveying title to the Site to Developer, there shall be issued to Developer a CLTA owner’s policy of title insurance (the “Title Policy”), together with such endorsements as are reasonably requested by Developer, issued by the Title Company insuring that the title to the Site is vested in Developer in the condition required by Section 204. The Title Company shall provide Authority with a copy of the Title Policy. The Title Policy shall be in the amount of the Purchase Price. Authority shall pay that portion of the premium for the Title Policy equal to the cost of a CLTA standard coverage title policy in the amount of the Purchase Price. Any additional costs, including the cost of an ALTA policy or any endorsements requested by Developer, shall be borne by Developer.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Developer shall not be responsible for matters related to any environmental contamination which existed prior to the Closing. It shall be the sole responsibility of Developer at its expense to investigate and determine the soil and improvement conditions for the development to be constructed. If the soil and environmental condition is not in all respects entirely suitable for the use or uses to which the Site will be put, then it is the sole responsibility and obligation of Developer to take such action as may be necessary to place the soil and environmental conditions of the Site in a condition entirely suitable for its development. 209.2Investigation of Site.

Developer shall within the time set forth in the Schedule of Performance develop or cause the development of the Developer Improvements in accordance with the 15 Scope of Development, City Code, all entitlements and approvals for the Site, and the plans, drawings and documents submitted by Developer and approved by City as set forth herein. Developer shall, without limitation, apply for and secure, and pay all costs, charges and fees associated therewith, all permits and fees required by City, County, and other governmental agencies with jurisdiction over the Developer Improvements.
302. Construction Drawings and Related Documents. Prior to commencement of construction, Developer shall prepare and submit to City, construction drawings, landscape plans, and related documents required for the development of the Site and the construction of the Developer Improvements (the “Construction Drawings”). Authority shall have the right of review of all Construction Drawings, including any proposed changes therein. Authority shall not be responsible either to Developer or to third parties in any way for any defects in the Construction Drawings, nor for any structural or other defects in any work done according to the approved Construction Drawings, nor for any delays reasonably caused by the review and approval processes conducted by City. Any and all change orders or revisions required by City and its inspectors under the City Code, including without limitation, all applicable Uniform Codes (e.g., Building, Plumbing, Fire, Electrical, etc.) and under other applicable laws and regulations shall be included by Developer in its Construction Drawings and other required submittals and shall be completed during the construction of the Developer Improvements.
303. Land Use Approvals. Prior to commencement of construction of the Developer Improvements or other works of improvement upon the Site by Developer, Developer shall, at its own expense, secure or cause to be secured any and all land use and other entitlements, and approvals, including environmental approvals, which may be required by City and/or any other governmental agency affected by such construction or work for the Developer Improvements. Developer shall, without limitation, apply for and secure all permits required by City, the County and other governmental agencies with jurisdiction over the Developer Improvements. 304. Schedule of Performance. Developer shall submit the Construction Drawings, commence and complete all construction of the Developer Improvements, and satisfy all other obligations and conditions of this Agreement within the times established therefor in the Schedule of Performance. During the course of construction and prior to issuance of the Release of Construction Covenants, Developer shall provide timely reports of the progress of construction when requested by Authority. Developer shall complete construction of all the Developer Improvements within the respective times established therefor in the Schedule of Performance. The Schedule of Performance is subject to revision from time-to-time as mutually agreed upon in writing by Developer and Authority and Authority is authorized to make such revisions as it deems reasonably necessary. 305. Cost of Construction. The cost of planning, designing, developing and constructing the Developer Improvements shall be borne solely by Developer. 306. Financing of the Developer Improvements.
306.1Approval of Financing. As required herein and as one of Authority’s Conditions Precedent, Developer shall submit evidence that Developer has or has obtained sufficient equity capital and/or has obtained firm and binding commitments for construction financing necessary to undertake the acquisition and development of the Site and the construction and operation of the Developer Improvements in accordance with this Agreement, to Authority for review and approval.

Such review and approval or disapproval of financing commitments shall be made within fifteen (15) days of receipt of a complete submission. Authority shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or 16 condition such approval. If Authority shall disapprove any such evidence of financing, it shall do so by notice to Developer stating the reasons for such disapproval, in which event Developer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly obtain and submit new evidence of financing. Authority shall approve or disapprove such new evidence of financing in the same manner and within the same times established in this Section 306.1 for the approval or disapproval of the evidence of financing as initially submitted. Developer shall close any approved construction financing prior to or concurrently with the Closing.

Such evidence of financing shall include the following: (a) a copy of an enforceable loan commitment(s) obtained by Developer from one or more financial institutions for the mortgage loan or loans for construction financing for the Developer Improvements, subject to such lenders’ reasonable, customary and normal conditions and terms, and/or (b) evidence reasonably acceptable to Authority that Developer has sufficient funds for such construction, and that such funds have been committed to such construction, and/or other documentation satisfactory to Authority as evidence of other sources of capital sufficient to demonstrate that Developer has adequate funds to cover the difference between the total cost of the acquisition of the Site and construction and completion of the Developer Improvements, less financing authorized by those loans set forth in subparagraph (a) above, and (c) evidence of sufficient capital to operate the Developer Improvements in accordance with the Scope of Development.
306.2Holder Not Obligated to Construct Improvements. The holder of any mortgage or deed of trust authorized by this Agreement shall not be obligated by the provisions of this Agreement to construct or complete the Developer Improvements or any portion thereof, or to guarantee such construction or completion; nor shall any covenant or any other provision in this Agreement be construed so to obligate such holder. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to construe, permit or authorize any such holder to devote the Site to any uses or to construct any improvements thereon, other than those uses or improvements provided for or authorized by this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Authority shall reasonably cooperate with Developer’s construction and permanent lenders in connection with the permitted use or uses to which such lender may devote the Site following a foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure.
306.3Notice of Default to Mortgagee or Deed of Trust Holders; Right to Cure. With respect to any mortgage or deed of trust granted by Developer as provided herein, whenever Authority may deliver any notice or demand to Developer with respect to any breach or default by Developer in completion of construction of the Developer Improvements, Authority shall at the same time deliver to each holder of record of any mortgage or deed of trust and any limited partner a copy of such notice or demand. Each such holder and limited partner shall (insofar as the rights granted by Authority are concerned) have the right, at its option, within sixty (60) days after the receipt of the notice, to cure or remedy or commence to cure or remedy and thereafter to pursue with due diligence the cure or remedy of any such default. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to permit or authorize such holder or limited partner to undertake or continue the construction or completion of the Developer Improvements, or any portion thereof (beyond the extent necessary to conserve or protect the improvements or construction already made) without first having expressly assumed Developer’s obligations to Authority by written agreement reasonably satisfactory to Authority. The holder or limited partner, in that event, must agree to complete, in the manner provided in this Agreement, the improvements to which the lien or title of such holder relates. Any such holder or limited partner properly completing such improvement shall be entitled, upon compliance with the requirements of Section 312, to a Release of Construction Covenants. 307. Insurance Requirements. Developer shall take out and maintain or shall cause its contractor to take out and maintain until the issuance of the Release of Construction Covenants 17 pursuant to Section 312, a comprehensive general liability policy in the amount of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) combined single limit policy, or such other policy limits as Authority may approve at its discretion, including contractual liability, as shall protect Developer and Authority from claims for such damages. Such policy or policies shall be written on an occurrence form. Developer shall also furnish or cause to be furnished to Authority evidence satisfactory to Authority that Developer and any contractor with whom it has contracted for the performance of work on the Site or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement carries workers’ compensation insurance as required by law. Developer shall furnish a notarized certificate of insurance countersigned by an authorized agent of the insurance carrier on a form approved by Authority setting forth the general provisions of the insurance coverage. This countersigned certificate shall name Authority and its respective officers, agents, and employees as additionally insured parties under the policy, and the certificate shall be accompanied by a duly executed endorsement evidencing such additional insured status. Developer shall notify Authority of any material change, cancellation or termination of the coverage at least thirty (30) days in advance of the effective date of any such material change, cancellation or termination. Coverage provided hereunder by Developer shall be primary insurance and not be contributing with any insurance maintained by Authority, and the policy shall contain such an endorsement. The insurance policy or the endorsement shall contain a waiver of subrogation for the benefit of Authority. The required certificate shall be furnished by Developer prior to the commencement of construction of the Developer Improvements. 308. Indemnity.
308.1Developer’s Indemnity. Developer shall defend (by counsel satisfactory to Authority), indemnify and save and hold harmless Authority and its officers, contractors, agents and employees (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against all claims, damages, demands, actions, losses, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and court costs) arising from or relating to: (i) Developer’s compliance with this Agreement (including all provisions hereof); (ii) compliance with applicable laws; (iii) a claim, demand or cause of action that any person has or asserts against Developer; (iv) any act or omission of Developer, any contractor, subcontractor or material supplier, engineer, architect or other person with respect to the Site; (v) those matters set forth in Section 101.2 hereof; or (vi) the ownership, occupancy or use of the Site and any portions thereof after the Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Developer shall not be obligated to indemnify Authority with respect to the consequences of any act of gross negligence not contributed to by Developer or willful misconduct of Authority. Developer’s obligations under this Section 308 shall survive the issuance of the Release of Construction Covenants and termination of this Agreement; the requirements under this Section 308 are in addition to and do not limit the obligations of Developer under the Site Grant Deed.

Developer shall reimburse Authority immediately upon written demand for all costs reasonably incurred by Authority (including the reasonable fees and expenses of experts, attorneys, accountants, appraisers and other consultants, whether the same are independent contractors or employees of Authority) in connection with the enforcement of the this Agreement and all related matters including the following: (a) Authority’s commencement of, appearance in, or defense of any action or proceeding purporting to affect the rights or obligations of the parties to this Agreement or the Site Grant Deed, and (b) all claims, demands, causes of action, liabilities, losses, commissions and other costs against which Authority is indemnified under this Agreement or the Site Grant Deed. Such reimbursement obligations shall bear interest at the rate of seven percent (7%) simple per annum (or, if lower, the highest non-usurious interest rate that may be charged) based upon the amounts and times of disbursement by Authority, provided that Authority gives written demand to Developer. Such reimbursement obligations shall survive the issuance of the Release of Construction Covenants and termination of this Agreement and are in addition to and do not limit the obligations of Developer under the Site Grant Deed or other instruments associated with the conveyance of any portion of the Site. 18 Upon the Closing, Developer shall take all necessary precautions to prevent the release into the environment of any Hazardous Materials which are located in, on or under the Site. Such precautions shall include compliance with all Governmental Requirements with respect to Hazardous Materials. In addition, Developer shall install and utilize such equipment and implement and adhere to such procedures as are consistent with commercially reasonable standards as respects the disclosure, storage, use, removal and disposal of Hazardous Materials. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Developer shall not indemnify Authority for any claims arising from Authority’s gross and active negligence or Authority’s willful misconduct so long as the loss alleged is not caused or contributed to by Developer and the foregoing indemnification shall not apply to the presence, use, release, escape, seepage, leakage, spillage, emission, or discharge of any Hazardous Materials in, on, under, or about the Site where such Hazardous Material existed on the property prior to the Closing. 308.2Authority’s Indemnity. Authority shall defend, indemnify, assume all responsibility for, and hold harmless Developer, and its representatives, volunteers, officers, employees and agents, from and against all claims, demands, damages, defense costs or liability of any kind or nature relating to Authority’s compliance this Agreement or the implementation hereof and for any damages to property or injuries to persons, including accidental death (including attorneys’ fees and costs), which are legally caused by any acts or omissions of Authority under this Agreement, whether such activities or performance thereof be by Authority or by anyone directly or indirectly employed or contracted with by Authority and whether such damage shall accrue or be discovered before or after termination of this Agreement.
309. Rights of Access. Representatives of Authority shall have the right of access to the Site, without charges or fees, at normal construction hours during the period of construction for the purposes of this Agreement, including but not limited to, the inspection of the work being performed in constructing the Developer Improvements so long as Authority representatives comply with all generally applicable safety rules.
310. Compliance with Laws. Developer shall carry out the design and construction of the Developer Improvements in conformity with all applicable laws, including all applicable state labor standards, City zoning and development standards, building, plumbing, mechanical and electrical codes, and all other provisions of City Code, and all applicable disabled and handicapped access requirements, including without limitation the Americans With Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. Sections 12101, et seq., California Government Code Sections 4450, et seq., California Government Code Sections 11135, et seq., and the Unruh Civil Rights Act, California Civil Code Sections 51, et seq. 310.1Nondiscrimination in Employment. Developer certifies and agrees that, to the extent applicable to it, all persons employed or applying for employment by it, its affiliates, subsidiaries, or holding companies, and all subcontractors, bidders and vendors, are and will be treated equally by it without regard to, or because of race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, sex, age, pregnancy, childbirth or related medical condition, medical condition (cancer related) or physical or mental disability, and in compliance with Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. Sections 2000, et seq., the Federal Equal Pay Act of 1963, 29 U.S.C. Section 206(d), the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, 29 U.S.C. Sections 621, et seq., the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, 8 U.S.C. Sections 1324b, et seq., 42 U.S.C. Section 1981, the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, California Government Code Sections 12900, et seq., the California Equal Pay Law, California Labor Code Sections 1197.5, California Government Code Section 11135, the Americans with Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. Sections 12101, et seq., and all other anti-discrimination laws and regulations of the United States and the State of California as they now exist or may hereafter be amended. Developer shall allow representatives of Authority access to its employment records related to this Agreement during regular business hours to verify compliance with these provisions when so 19 requested by Authority.
310.2Public Works Requirements. Developer shall carry out the construction of the Developer Improvements and the development of the Site in conformity with all applicable federal and state labor laws (including, without limitation, if applicable, the requirement under California law to pay prevailing wages and to hire apprentices). Although the parties believe that the Developer Improvements are not considered to be a “public work” under California law because the Site is being sold for a price not less than the appraised fair market value of the Site, Developer shall be solely responsible for determining and effectuating compliance with such laws, and Authority makes no representation as to the applicability or non-applicability of any of such laws to the Developer Improvements or any part thereof. Developer hereby expressly acknowledges and agrees that Authority has not previously affirmatively represented to Developer or its contractor(s) for the construction or development of the Developer Improvements, in writing or otherwise, in a call for bids or otherwise, that the work to be covered by this Agreement is not a “public work,” as defined in Section 1720 of the Labor Code. Developer hereby agrees that Developer shall have the obligation to provide any and all disclosures or identifications required by Labor Code Section 1781, as the same may be amended from time to time, or any other similar law. Developer shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless Authority and its officers, employees, contractors and agents, with counsel reasonably acceptable to Authority, from and against any and all loss, liability, damage, claim, cost, expense and/or “increased costs” (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, court and litigation costs, and fees of expert witnesses) which, in connection with the development, construction (as defined by applicable law) and/or operation of the Developer Improvements, including, without limitation, any and all public works (as defined by applicable law), results or arises in any way from any of the following: (1) the noncompliance by Developer of any applicable local, state and/or federal law, including, without limitation, any applicable federal and/or state labor laws (including, without limitation, if applicable, the requirement to pay state prevailing wages and to hire apprentices); (2) the implementation of Section 1781 of the Labor Code, as the same may be amended from time to time, or any other similar law; and/or (3) failure by Developer to provide any required disclosure or identification as required by Labor Code Section 1781, as the same may be amended from time to time, or any other similar law. It is agreed by the parties that, in connection with the development and construction (as defined by applicable law) of the Developer Improvements, including, without limitation, any and all public works (as defined by applicable law), Developer shall bear all risks of payment or non-payment of prevailing wages and hiring of apprentices under California law and/or the implementation of Labor Code Section 1781, as the same may be amended from time to time, and/or any other similar law. “Increased costs,” as used in this Section 310.2, shall have the meaning ascribed to it in Labor Code Section 1781, as the same may be amended from time to time. The foregoing indemnity shall survive termination of this Agreement and shall continue after completion of the construction and development of the Developer Improvements by Developer.
311. Taxes and Assessments. Developer shall remove or have removed any levy or attachment for any taxes and assessments incurred after the Closing, made on the Site, or any part thereof, or assure the satisfaction thereof within a reasonable time; provided however, the Developer shall not be required to pay and discharge any such tax, assessment, charge or levy so long as (a) the legality thereof shall be promptly and actively contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings and, (b) the Developer maintains reserves adequate to pay any liabilities contested. 312. Release of Construction Covenants. Promptly after completion of the Developer Improvements in conformity with this Agreement, Authority shall furnish Developer with the Release of Construction Covenants. Authority shall not unreasonably withhold such Release of Construction Covenants. The Release of Construction Covenants shall be a conclusive determination of satisfactory 20 completion of the Developer Improvements and the Release of Construction Covenants shall so state.

Any party then owning or thereafter purchasing, leasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in the Site shall not (because of such ownership, purchase, lease or acquisition) incur any obligation or liability under this Agreement except for those matters which constitute continuing obligations of Developer under the Site Grant Deed or otherwise under this Agreement. If Authority refuses or fails to furnish the Release of Construction Covenants for the Site after written request from Developer, Authority shall, within ten (10) working days of such written request, provide Developer with a written statement setting forth the reasons Authority has refused or failed to furnish the Release of Construction Covenants for the Site. The statement shall also contain a list of the actions Developer must take to obtain a Release of Construction Covenants.

Such Release of Construction Covenants shall not constitute evidence of compliance with or satisfaction of any obligation of Developer to any holder of any mortgage, or any insurer of a mortgage securing money loaned to finance the improvements, or any part thereof. Such Release of Construction Covenants is not a notice of completion as referred to in the California Civil Code, Section 3093. 400. COVENANTS AND RESTRICTIONS
401. Affordable Housing.
401.1Number of Units. As set forth in Section 301 of this Agreement and the Scope of Development, Developer shall construct the number and mix of residential units on the Site, all of which will be designated for and occupied at Affordable Rents by Qualified Residents. “Qualified Residents” means lower income households as defined by California Health and Safety Code Section 50079.5. Notwithstanding the foregoing, during such time that the Project is subject to a regulatory agreement restricting occupancy and/or rents pursuant to requirements imposed by the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee (“TCAC”). Affordable Rents shall be the more restrictive of (i) the rent limitations required by TCAC and (ii) the rent limitations set forth in Health and Safety Code Section 50053(b)(2).

During the Affordability Period Developer shall provide information reasonably required by Authority to satisfy its reporting obligations under applicable law. The “Affordability Period” means the period beginning upon the first day of the first full month following the date on which the first unit in the Project is occupied and ending on the last day of the 660th month thereafter.
401.3Annual Reports. During the Affordability Period, Developer, at its expense, shall submit to the Authority the reports required pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 33418, as the same may be amended from time to time, with each such report to be in the form prescribed by the Authority. Each annual report shall cover the immediately preceding calendar year. 402. Uses. Developer covenants and agrees to devote, use, develop, operate and maintain the Site in accordance with the Site Grant Deed, the CC&Rs and this Agreement. All uses conducted on the Site, including, without limitation, all activities undertaken by Developer pursuant to this Agreement, shall conform to all Entitlements, Permits, all applicable provisions of the City Code, and the recorded documents pertaining to and running with the Site. 21 403. Nondiscrimination. Developer by and for itself and any successors in interest covenants that there shall be no discrimination against or segregation of any person or group of persons on account of race, color, creed, religion, sex, marital status, physical or mental disability or medical condition, national origin or ancestry in the sale, lease, sublease, transfer, use, occupancy, tenure or enjoyment of the Site, nor shall the Developer itself or any person claiming under or through it establish or permit any such practice or practices of discrimination or segregation with reference to the selection, location, number, use or occupancy of tenants, lessees, subtenants, sublessees or vendees of the Site.

The foregoing covenants shall run with the land.

All such deeds, leases or contracts shall contain or be subject to substantially the following nondiscrimination or nonsegregation clauses:

The foregoing covenants shall run with the land.”
(b) In leases: “The lessee herein covenants by and for himself or herself, his or her heirs, executors, administrators and assigns, and all persons claiming under or through him or her, and this lease is made and accepted upon and subject to the following conditions:
‘There shall be no discrimination against or segregation of any person or group of persons on account of race, color, creed, religion, sex, marital status, physical or mental disability or medical condition, ancestry or national origin in the leasing, subleasing, transferring, use, occupancy, tenure or enjoyment of the premises herein leased nor shall the lessee himself or herself, or any person claiming under or through him or her, establish or permit any such practice or practices of discrimination or segregation with reference to the selection, location, number, use or occupancy of tenants, lessees, sublessees, subtenants or vendees in the premises herein leased.’” (c) In contracts: “There shall be no discrimination against or segregation of, any person, or group of persons on account of race, color, creed, religion, sex, marital status, physical or mental disability or medical condition, ancestry or national origin, in the sale, lease, sublease, transfer, use, occupancy, tenure or enjoyment of the premises, nor shall the transferee himself or herself or any person claiming under or through him or her, establish or permit any such practice or practices of discrimination or segregation with reference to the selection, location, number, use or occupancy of tenants, lessees, subtenants, sublessees or vendees of the premises.” 404. Maintenance of the Site. From and after the completion of the Project on any portion of the Site, the Developer shall maintain or cause to be maintained the interiors and exteriors of the Developer Improvements on the Site in a decent, safe and sanitary manner, in accordance with the standard of maintenance of similar housing units within the Authority, and in accordance with the maintenance standards that are set forth in the CC&Rs. None of the dwelling units on the Site shall at any time be utilized on a transient basis nor shall the Site or any portion thereof ever be used as a hotel, motel, dormitory, fraternity or sorority house, rooming house, hospital, nursing home, sanitarium or rest home. Developer shall not convert the Site to condominium ownership without the prior written 22 approval of the Authority, which approval the Authority may grant, withhold or deny in its sole and absolute discretion. If at any time Developer fails to maintain the Site in accordance with this Agreement or the CC&Rs and Developer does not correct or commence to correct such condition within ten (10) days after written notice from the Authority with respect to graffiti, debris, waste material, and general maintenance, or thirty (30) days after written notice from the Authority with respect to landscaping and building improvements, then the Authority, in addition to whatever remedy it may have at law or at equity, shall have the right to enter upon the applicable portion of the Site and perform all acts and work reasonably necessary to protect, maintain, and preserve the Improvements and landscaped areas on the Site, and to attach a lien upon the Site, or assess the Site, in the amount of the expenditures arising from such acts and work of protection, maintenance, and preservation by the Authority and/or costs of such cure, including a ten percent (10%) administrative charge, which amount shall be promptly paid by Developer to the Authority upon demand. Pursuant to the CC&Rs, the foregoing covenants shall run with the land for the term of the Affordability Period. 405. Long Term Management of the Site. The parties acknowledge that the Authority is interested in the long-term management and operation of the Site and in the qualifications of any person or entity retained by Developer for that purpose (the “Property Manager”). The Authority may from time- to-time review and evaluate the identity and performance of the Property Manager of the Site and the Property Manager’s compliance with the provisions of this Agreement and the CC&R’s. If the Authority reasonably determines that the performance of the Property Manager is deficient based upon the standards and requirements set forth in this Agreement and the CC&R’s, the Authority shall provide written notice to Developer of such deficiencies and Developer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to correct or cause to be corrected such deficiencies. Upon Default of the terms of this Agreement or the CC&Rs by the Property Manager, the Authority shall have the right to require Developer to remove and replace the Property Manager with another property manager or property management company reasonably acceptable to the Authority, subject to the rights of the senior lender and limited partner. Such Property Manager shall be experienced in managing multifamily residential developments similar to the Project and may be related to or affiliated with the Developer. Pursuant to the CC&Rs, the foregoing covenants shall run with the land for the term of the Affordability Period. 500. DEFAULTS, REMEDIES, AND TERMINATION
501. Default Remedies.

24 505. Reentry and Revesting of Title in Authority after the Closing and Prior to Completion of Construction. Authority has the right, at its election, to reenter and take possession of the Site, with all improvements thereon, and terminate and revest in Authority the estate conveyed to Developer if after the Closing and prior to the issuance of the Release of Construction Covenants, Developer (or its successors in interest) shall:
(a) fail to start the construction of the Developer Improvements as required by this Agreement for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Authority, unless such failure is due to causes beyond the reasonable control of Developer, and Developer has requested and received from Authority an extension of time, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed, and which shall be for a period reasonably related to the scope and nature of the delay; or (b) abandon or substantially suspend construction of the Developer Improvements required by this Agreement for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Authority; or

The Site Grant Deed shall contain appropriate reference and provision to give effect to Authority’s right as set forth in this Section 505, under specified circumstances prior to recordation of the Release of Construction Covenants, to reenter and take possession of the Site, with all improvements thereon, and to terminate and revest in Authority the estate conveyed to Developer.

Upon the revesting in Authority of title to the Site as provided in this Section 505, Authority shall, pursuant to its responsibilities under state law, use its reasonable efforts to resell the Site as soon and in such manner as Authority shall find feasible, to a qualified and responsible party or parties (as determined by Authority) who will assume the obligation of making or completing the Developer Improvements, or such improvements in their stead as shall be satisfactory to Authority. Upon such resale of the Site, the net proceeds thereof after repayment of any mortgage or deed of trust encumbering the Site, which is permitted by this Agreement, shall be applied:
(i) First, to reimburse Authority, on its own behalf or on behalf of Authority, all costs and expenses incurred by Authority, excluding Authority staff costs, but specifically, including, but not limited to, any expenditures by Authority in connection with the recapture, management and resale of the Site or part thereof (but less any income derived by Authority from the Site or part thereof in connection with such management); all taxes, assessments and water or sewer charges with respect to the Site or part thereof which Developer has not paid (or, in the event that the Site is exempt from taxation or assessment of such charges during the period of ownership thereof by Authority, an amount, if paid, equal to such taxes, assessments, or charges as would have been payable if the Site were not so exempt); any payments made or necessary to be made to discharge any encumbrances or liens existing on the Site or part thereof at the time of revesting of title thereto in Authority, or to discharge or prevent from attaching or being made any subsequent encumbrances or liens due to obligations, defaults or 25 acts of Developer, its successors or transferees; any expenditures made or obligations incurred with respect to the making or completion of the Developer Improvements or any part thereof; and any amounts otherwise owing Authority, and in the event additional proceeds are thereafter available, then (ii) Second, to reimburse Developer, its successor or transferee, up to the amount equal to the sum of (a) the costs incurred for the acquisition and development of the Site and for the improvements existing on the Site at the time of the reentry and possession, less (b) any gains or income withdrawn or made by Developer from the Site or the improvements thereon.

Any balance remaining after such reimbursements shall be retained by Authority as its property. The rights established in this Section 505 are not intended to be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy, but each and every such right, power, and remedy shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to any other right, power and remedy authorized herein or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. These rights are to be interpreted in light of the fact that Authority will have conveyed the Site to Developer for economic development purposes, and not for speculation in undeveloped land.
506. Acceptance of Service of Process. In the event that any legal action is commenced by Developer against Authority, service of process on Authority shall be made as provided by law. In the event that any legal action is commenced by Authority against Developer, service of process on Developer shall be made by personal service upon Developer or in such other manner as may be provided by law.
507. Rights and Remedies Are Cumulative. Except as otherwise expressly stated in this Agreement, the rights and remedies of the parties are cumulative, and the exercise by either party of one or more of such rights or remedies shall not preclude the exercise by it, at the same or different times, of any other rights or remedies for the same default or any other default by the other party. 508. Inaction Not a Waiver of Default. Any failures or delays by either party in asserting any of its rights and remedies as to any Default shall not operate as a waiver of any Default or of any such rights or remedies or deprive either such party 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. 509. Applicable Law. The laws of the State of California shall govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement.

2.

remain affordable to and occupied by lower income households for a period of fifty-five (55) years for rental housing and forty-five (45) years for ownership housing. The initial occupants of all ownership units shall be lower income households, and the units shall be subject to an equity sharing agreement consistent with the provisions of paragraph (2) of subdivision (c) of 65915 of the California Government Code. These requirements shall be covenants or restrictions running with the land and shall be enforceable against any owner who violates a covenant or restriction and each successor-in- interest who continues the violation by any of the entities described in subdivisions (a) to (f), inclusive, of Section 54222.5 of the California Government Code.

4. Grantor has the right, at its election, to reenter and take possession of the Site, with all improvements thereon, and terminate and revest in Grantor the estate conveyed to Grantee if after the Closing but prior to the issuance and recordation of the Release of Construction Covenants, Grantee (or its successors in interest) shall:
a. Fail to start the construction of the Developer Improvements as required by the DDA for a period of one hundred and twenty (120) days after written notice thereof from Authority; or
b. Abandon or substantially suspend construction of the Developer Improvements required by the DDA for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Authority; or
c. Fail to complete construction of the Developer Improvements required by the DDA within the time frame set forth in the Schedule of Performance contained therein; or
d. Transfer or suffer any involuntary transfer of the Site or any part thereof in violation of Section 625 of the DDA.

Such right to reenter, terminate and revest shall be subject to and be limited by and shall not defeat, render invalid or limit: (i) any mortgage or deed of trust permitted by the DDA; or (ii) any rights or interests provided in the DDA for the protection of the holders of such mortgages or deeds of trust.

Upon the revesting in Grantor of title to the Site as provided in this Section 3, Grantor shall, pursuant to its responsibilities under state law, use its reasonable efforts to resell the Site for fair market value as soon and in such manner as Grantor shall find feasible to a qualified and responsible party or parties (as determined by Grantor) who will assume the obligation of making or completing the Developer Improvements, or such improvements in their stead as shall be satisfactory to Grantor. Upon such resale of the Site, the net proceeds thereof after repayment of any mortgage or deed of trust encumbering the Site, which is permitted by this Agreement, shall be applied:
i. First, to reimburse Grantor all costs and expenses reasonably incurred by Grantor, excluding Authority staff costs, but specifically, including, but not limited to, any expenditures by Grantor in connection with the recapture, management and resale of the Site or part thereof (but less any income derived by Grantor from the Site or part thereof in connection with such management); all taxes, assessments and water or sewer charges with respect to the Site or part thereof which Grantee has not paid (or, in the event that Site is exempt from taxation or assessment of such charges during the period of ownership thereof E-3
by Grantor, an amount, if paid, equal to such taxes, assessments or charges as would have been payable if the Site were not so exempt); any payments made or necessary to be made to discharge any encumbrances or liens existing on the Site or part thereof at the time of revesting of title thereto in Grantor, or to discharge or prevent from attaching or being made any subsequent encumbrances or liens due to obligations, defaults or acts of Grantee, its successors or transferees; any expenditures made or obligations incurred with respect to the making or completion of the improvements or any part thereof on the Site, or part thereof; and any amounts otherwise owing Grantor, and in the event additional proceeds are thereafter available, then
ii. Second, to reimburse Grantee, its successor or transferee, up to the amount equal to the sum of (a) the costs incurred for the acquisition and development of the Site and for the improvements existing on the Site at the time of the reentry and possession, less (b) any gains or income withdrawn or made by Grantee from the Site or the improvements thereon.

Any balance remaining after such reimbursements shall be retained by Grantor as its property. The rights established in this Section 3 are not intended to be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy, but each and every such right, power and remedy shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to any other right, power and remedy authorized herein or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. These rights are to be interpreted in light of the fact that Grantor will have conveyed the Site to Grantee for economic development purposes, and not for speculation in undeveloped land.

5. Grantee covenants by and for itself and any successors in interest that there shall be no discrimination against or segregation of, any person or group of persons on account of any basis listed in subdivision (a) or (d) of Section 12955 of the Government Code, as those bases are defined in Sections 12926, 12926.1, subdivision (m) and paragraph (1) of subdivision (p) of Section 12955, and Section 12955.2 of the Government Code, in the sale, lease, sublease, transfer, use, occupancy, tenure, or enjoyment of the Site, nor shall the grantee or any person claiming under or through him or her, establish or permit any practice or practices of discrimination or segregation with reference to the selection, location, number, use or occupancy of tenants, lessees, subtenants, sublessees, or vendees in the Site. The foregoing covenants shall run with the land.

Grantee shall refrain from restricting the rental, sale or lease of the Site on any of the bases listed above in this Section 4. All such deeds, leases or contracts shall contain or be subject to substantially the following nondiscrimination or nonsegregation clauses:
(a) In deeds. “The grantee herein covenants by and for himself or herself, his or her heirs, executors, administrators, and assigns, and all persons claiming under or through them, that there shall be no discrimination against or segregation of, any person or group of persons on account of any basis listed in subdivision (a) or (d) of Section 12955 of the Government Code, as those bases are defined in Sections 12926, 12926.1, subdivision (m) and paragraph (1) of subdivision (p) of Section 12955, and Section 12955.2 of the Government Code, in the sale, lease, sublease, transfer, use, occupancy, tenure, or enjoyment of the premises herein conveyed, nor shall the grantee or any person claiming under or through him or her, establish or permit any practice or practices of discrimination or segregation with reference to the selection, location, number, use or occupancy of tenants, lessees, subtenants, sublessees, or vendees in the premises herein conveyed. The foregoing covenants shall run with the land.”
E-4
(b) In leases. “The lessee herein covenants by and for himself or herself, his or her heirs, executors, administrators, and assigns, and all persons claiming under or through him or her, and this lease is made and accepted upon and subject to the following conditions:
“That there shall be no discrimination against or segregation of any person or group of persons, on account of any basis listed in subdivision (a) or (d) of Section 12955 of the Government Code, as those bases are defined in Sections 12926, 12926.1, subdivision (m) and paragraph (1) of subdivision (p) of Section 12955, and Section 12955.2 of the Government Code, in the leasing, subleasing, transferring, use, occupancy, tenure, or enjoyment of the premises herein leased nor shall the lessee himself or herself, or any person claiming under or through him or her, establish or permit any such practice or practices of discrimination or segregation with reference to the selection, location, number, use, or occupancy, of tenants, lessees, sublessees, subtenants, or vendees in the premises herein leased.”
(c) In contracts. “There shall be no discrimination against or segregation of, any person or group of persons on account of any basis listed in subdivision (a) or (d) of Section 12955 of the Government Code, as those bases are defined in Sections 12926, 12926.1, subdivision (m) and paragraph (1) of subdivision (p) of Section 12955, and Section 12955.2 of the Government Code, in the sale, lease, sublease, transfer, use, occupancy, tenure, or enjoyment of the premises which are the subject of this Agreement, nor shall the grantee or any person claiming under or through him or her, establish or permit any practice or practices of discrimination or segregation with reference to the selection, location, number, use or occupancy of tenants, lessees, subtenants, sublessees, or vendees in the premises herein conveyed. The foregoing covenants shall run with the land.” GRANTOR:

Every provision of this Declaration is intended to be severable. In the event any term or provision of this Declaration is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unlawful, invalid or unenforceable for any reason, such determination shall not affect the balance of the terms and provisions of this Declaration, which terms and provisions shall remain binding and enforceable.

6. Covenants For Benefit of Covenantee. All covenants without regard to technical classification or designation shall be binding for the benefit of the Covenantee and such covenants shall run in favor of the Covenantee for the entire period during the Affordability Period. The parties shall have the right to exercise all the rights and remedies and to maintain any actions at law or suits in equity or other proper legal proceedings to enforce and to cure such breach to which it or any other beneficiaries of these covenants may be entitled during the term specified for such covenants, except the covenants against discrimination which may be enforced at law or in equity at any time in perpetuity.
