LIEN AGREEMENT

SMF NCHG ''I\JC+\:(} Ce, 11
THIS LIEN AGREEMENT ("Lien Agreement") is made and entered into this 5th day of August, 2015, by and between the CITY OF MENIFEE, a California municipal corporation ("City") and DIAMOND BROTHERS FIVE PARTNERSHIP, LP, a California limited partnership ("Owner").

RECITALS
A. Owner has submitted to the City for its approval, Tract No. 32101, a proposed development comprised of one hundred ninety-seven (197) single family residential
homes, one (1) public park, and five (5) open space lots, located in the City of Menifee, County of Riverside, State of California (the "Project").

B. In connection with the Project, Owner has applied to City for approval of a Final Map pursuant to Government Code Section 66434 ("the Subdivision Code") for Final Parcel Map 32101 ("Final Map") for real property located within City, a legal description
of which is attached hereto as Exhibit "A" ("Property").

C. The conditions of approval for the Tentative Tract Map for the Property require Owner to construct certain improvements that, upon completion, will be accepted by the City as public improvements ("Public Improvements"). A list of the Public Improvements
and an estimate of the costs for the Public Improvements approved by the City Engineer is attached as Exhibit "B" and incorporated herein by this reference.

D. Since Owner will not complete the Public Improvements prior to the approval by City of the Final Map, Owner is required to enter into an agreement with City for the
completion of the Public Improvements and the provision of improvement security ("Subdivision Improvement Agreement").

E. California Government Code Section 66499 authorizes the City and Owner to enter into this Lien Agreement in satisfaction of the security obligations contained in the Subdivision Improvement Agreement.

0 EXHIBIT "B"
F. City has found and determined that it would not be in the public interest to require the installation of the Public Improvements sooner than two years after recordation of the Final Map.

G. Owner has provided a title insurance policy and current title report to the City from a title company approved by the City and issued within the 60 days prior to the execution of this Lien Agreement that documents that the Owner is the record owner of the Property and the Property is not subject to any mortgages, deeds of trust, or judgment liens.

OPERATIVE PROVISIONS
NOW, THEREFORE, for valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which the Parties hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto agree as follows:

I. Owner Performance and Obligations
A. Owner hereby grants to City, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Lien Agreement, a lien upon the Property as security for the following obligations of Owner (collectively, the "Obligations"):
(1) Construction of the Public Improvements specified in Exhibit "B" attached hereto; provided, however, that Owner's obligation hereunder shall extend to the actual cost of the construction of the Public Improvements, notwithstanding that such costs may exceed the estimate set forth in Exhibit "B"; and
(2) Payment of the balance of the fees or provision of the improvements or services described in the Subdivision Code (collectively, "Fees"), in the amount required in accordance with the Subdivision Code, as determined appropriate by the Director of Public Works.

This Lien secures the Obligations and the remedies provided herein for breach of the Obligations.

B. For so long as title to the property remains subject to this Lien Agreement, Owner shall not: (1) commence work other than grading on any portion of the Public Improvements except as necessary to correct or prevent threats to the public health, safety or general welfare with the consent of the City or (2) sell or permit the sale of any lot shown on the Final Map. Notwithstanding the above, fee title to the entire property encumbered by this Lien Agreement or not less than 50 lots designated on the Final Map per transaction may be sold in the aggregate to a single purchaser, provided that the proposed purchaser, prior to assuming title to the property, executes a new lien agreement or provides such alternative security, as may be required by the City of Menifee and executes a new Subdivision Improvement Agreement with the City.

Diamond Bros - Lien Agreement
#35753972 v3
C. Prior to commencing the installation and/or construction of any portion of the Public Improvements required by the Subdivision Improvement Agreement, Owner shall deposit fees for inspection, tests and other related purposes, and shall substitute other forms of security satisfactory to City in place of this Lien Agreement. Grading of the Property shall not be considered construction of the Public Improvements for the purposes of this Lien Agreement and Owner is not required to substitute other forms of security in place of this Lien Agreement prior to commencing grading.

E. Owner shall provide all substitute forms of security in the amounts and for the purposes set forth in the Subdivision Improvement Agreement, except that the amounts shall be calculated using the estimated cost of the Public Improvements at the time of substitution, as ascertained by City.

F. Owner shall substitute acceptable security for this Lien Agreement and commence construction of the Public Improvements required by the Subdivision Improvement Agreement within three (3) years following the date of recordation of the Final Map. At its sole discretion, the City may grant up to three extensions of time for one year each. For each extension of time, Owner shall provide a title insurance policy and current title report from a title company approved by the City, and issued within 60 days prior to the request for an extension of time, that documents that Owner is the record owner of the real property to be divided as identified on the Final Map and the real property to be divided is not subject to any mortgages, deeds of trust, or judgment liens.

G. Owner shall pay the Fees related to the work required by the Subdivision Improvement Agreement for which the Fees are required prior to issuance of any building permit or, if permitted by the City, prior to occupancy.

H. Owner agrees that if suit is brought upon this Lien Agreement, all costs and reasonable expenses and fees incurred by the City in successfully enforcing Owner's obligations shall be paid by Owner, including attorneys' fees, and that, upon entry of judgment, all such costs, expenses and fees shall be taxed as costs and included in any judgment rendered.

I. Owner agrees to indemnify, and hold harmless, the City, its officers, employees and agents from any liability whatsoever based or asserted upon: (i) any act or omission of Owner, its employees and agents relating to or in any way connected with the accomplishment of work, obligations, or performance of service under this Lien Agreement; or (ii) the approval of this Lien Agreement. As part of the foregoing indemnity, Owner agrees to protect and defend, with counsel selected by City, at Owner's own expense, including attorneys' fees, the City, its officers, employees and agents in any legal action based upon such alleged acts or omissions.

II. City's Performance and Obligations
Diamond Bros - Lien Agreement
#35753972 v3
A Following (1) City's approval of the substitute forms of security submitted by Owner, (2) deposit by Owner of fees for inspections, tests and other specific purposes and (3) Owner's payment or other performance of the obligations encompassed by the Subdivision Improvement Agreement, performance of which are secured by this Lien Agreement, City shall release the Property from the provisions of this Lien Agreement, and shall execute any necessary release to enable Owner or its transferee to clear the record of title of the Property so released of the lien herein imposed.

B. In no instances shall this Lien Agreement compel the City to construct the required Public Improvements.

Ill. Owner's Representations and Warranties
Owner represents and warrants that no lots within the Property have been sold, no construction permits (including but not limited to grading permits and building permits) have been issued and are active for all or part of the Property, and no construction of any of the Public Improvements has commenced.

IV. Effect of Lien Agreement
A From the date of recordation of this Lien Agreement, a lien shall attach to the Property which shall have the priority of a judgment lien in an amount necessary to discharge all obligations contained in the Subdivision Improvement Agreement and any Fees. Under no circumstances shall the City agree to subordinate the lien.

B. Owner shall have the right to convey or sell fee title to the entire property, or a portion thereof, encumbered by this Lien Agreement, so long as the purchaser agrees in writing to accept and be bound by the terms and provisions of this Lien Agreement, the applicable Subdivision Improvement Agreement, and the Fees, or has provided alternative security acceptable to the City. Any new lien agreement entered into by a purchaser of the Property must provide for completion of the Public Improvements by the same date as is specified herein.

C. This Lien Agreement shall expire upon release of the Property by the City, except that Owner's obligation to commence the Public Improvements within three (3) years from the date of recordation of this Lien Agreement (or such date as may have been extended in accordance with the Subdivision Code), as described in Section I (F) above, shall not expire but shall remain in full force and effect until satisfactory completion of the Public Improvements in full compliance with the Subdivision Improvement Agreement.

D. Notwithstanding any provisions of the Subdivision Code to the contrary, so long as this Lien Agreement is utilized for security as described herein, the City is not obligated to accept offers of dedication for street or drainage purposes on the property.
