SPB/OldCityHallDDA 7 031523
the development of the Project. The Developer’s investigation during the Feasibility Per iod identified in Section 2.2 did not indicate that adverse environmental conditions exist at the Site that must be remediated or removed in connection with the development of the Project, or that there are other material adverse conditions of the Site that would require extraordinary Site development costs.
2.2 Feasibility Period
2.2.1 Delivery of Preliminary Documents by City. The City shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Developer all documents listed below applicable to the Site (“Preliminary Documents”), within fourteen (14) days after the opening of escrow for conveyance of the Phase 1 Parcel from the City to the Developer:
a. Preliminary Report. A preliminary report (“Preliminary Report”) from the Title Company dated no earlier than thirty (30) days before the Effective Date covering the Site, together with a legible copy (as reasonably obtainable) of all exceptions to title shown in the Preliminary Report.
b. Surveys. Copies of any survey of the Site in the City’s possession or control.
c. Plans. Copies of any existing construction drawings, as-built plans, and specifications for the Site that are in the City’s possession or control. d.

To the extent that such matters exist and are in the possession or control of the City, copies of any environmental impact reports, “Phase I” or “Phase II” rep orts, or environmental site assessments concerning hazardous materials on the Site, complaints or notices of the presence of hazardous materials on the Site, geological surveys, soil tests, engineering reports, inspection results, and any complaints or notices received regarding the safety of the Site.
e. Contracts. Copies of any contracts affecting the use of the Site that are in the City’s possession or control.
2.2.2 Developer’s Approval of Title. The Developer’s obligation to purchase the Site is expressly conditioned on the Developer’s approval of the condition of title of the Site in accordance with the following procedure:
a. Permitted Exceptions . The following exceptions shown on the Preliminary Report are permitted (“Permitted Exceptions”): (a) the standard preprinted exceptions and exclusions of the Title Company , all of which the Developer proposes to remove, at the Developer’s cost, by an extended coverage title insurance policy at the time of Closing ; and (b) any other exception shown on the Preliminary Report, other than exceptions for monetary liens, which the Developer does not object to by written notice to the City within fifteen (15) days after delivery of the Preliminary Report (“Developer’s Title Notice”). All exceptions on the Preliminary Report other than the Permitted Exceptions will be “ Title Objections.” If the Developer fails to deliver the Developer’s Title Notice within the time specified in this Section 2.2.2, the Developer will be deemed to have objected to each title exception shown in the Preliminary Report that is not otherwise a Permitted Exception.
SPB/OldCityHallDDA 8 031523
b. Title Objections. With respect to any Title Objection, the City will have ten (10) days after delivery of the Developer’s Title Notice to give notice to the Developer in writing (“City’s Title Notice”), stating either (a) the manner in which the City will remove or cure such Title Objection or (b) that the City will not remove or cure such Title Objection. If the City fails to deliver the City’s Title Notice within the time specified in this Section 2.2.2, the City will be deemed to have elected not to remove or cure such Title Objection. Despite the foregoing, the City agrees to remove all liens securing the payment of money , if any, that encumber the Site , except that the Developer shall be responsible for retiring the outstanding balance of the Solar Loan as set forth in Section 2.1.1.a.
c. City Elects Not to Cure . If the City elects not to cure or remove a Title Objection (or is deemed to have so elected), then the Developer will have ten (10) days after delivery of the City’s Title Notice to deliver a written notice to the City (“Developer’s Election Notice”) of the Developer’s election either to (a) proceed with the purchase of the Site, waive such Title Objection, and accept the exception shown in the Preliminary Report as a Permitted Exception, or (b) terminate this Agreement as to the entire Site. If the Developer fails to deliver the Developer’s Election Notice within the time specified in this Section 2.2.2, the Developer will be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement as to the entire Site. d. Additional Encumbrances. If any encumbrance or other exception to title arises or is discovered after the delivery of the Preliminary Report ( “Additional Encumbrance”), the party discovering such Additional Encumbrance must promptly give written notice to the other. No later than ten (10) days after delivery of the not ice of such Additional Encumbrance, the Developer will deliver a new Developer’s Title Notice to the City specifying whether the Additional Encumbrance is a Title Objection or a Permitted Exception. If the Developer objects to the Additional Encumbrance, the parties will proceed in the same manner as set forth above for Title Objections arising from the Preliminary Report. If the Developer fails to deliver the Developer’s Election Notice within the time specified in this Section 2.2.2, the Developer will be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement as to the entire Site .
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Developer has previously taken title to the Phase 1 Parcel, any objection to an additional encumbrance arising thereafter and affecting only the Phase 2 Parcel shall entitle the Developer to terminate this Agreement only as to the Phase 2 Parcel.
2.2.3 Review of Preliminary Documents and Physical Condition of the Site a. Feasibility Period. The Developer’s obligation to purchase the Site is expressly conditioned on its approval, in its sole discretion, of the condition of the Site and all other matters concerning the Site, including without limitation economic, financial, and accounting matters relating to or affecting the Site or its value, and the physical and environmental condition of the Site (including, without limitation, Hazardous Materials Contamination, if any, on, under or above the Site, or any portion thereof, and the soils and seismic condition of the Site, as described in Section 2.13 of this Agreement). The Developer will have until June 1, 2021 (the “Feasibility Period”), to conduct such investigations as the Developer may choose to determine, in its sole discretion, whether this contingency is met.
The Developer shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense, to engage an environmental consultant to make such investigations of the physical aspects of the Site (including the soils and seismic conditions of the Site and Hazardous Materials contamination on, under or about the Site, or any portion thereof) that the Developer deems necessary, including
SPB/OldCityHallDDA 9 031523
Phase I and, if appropriate, Phase II investigations of the Site, and the City shall promptly be provided with a copy of all reports and test results provided by the Developer’s environmental consultant. If the Developer obtains a Phase I environmental assessment and report that indicates the need for a Phase II environmental assessment and report, the City agrees that the Feasibility Period shall be extended for the period reasonably necessary to obtain the Phase II environmental assessment and report, and solely for that purpose, not to exceed in any event an additional sixty (60) days.
As soon as practicable after the completion of the investigations by the Developer and, if applicable, the Developer’s environmental consultant, but in any event not later than the last day of the Feasibility Period , the Developer shall notify the City in writing whether the Developer approves or disapproves all physical aspects of the Site (including the soils and seismic conditions of the Site and Hazardous Materials contamination on, under or about the Site, or any portion thereof). The Developer’s failure to give written notice of approval or disapproval wit hin such period shall be deemed the Developer’s disapproval of the physical aspects of the Site. In the event the Developer disapproves the physical aspects of the Site, then this Agreement shall be deemed to be terminated by the Developer . If remedial work is required and the Developer has not disapproved the physical aspects of the Site as provided herein, then, following the close of escrow for each of Phase 1/Parcel A and Phase 2/Parcel B , the Developer shall perform, or cause to be performed, without cost or expense to the City, all remedial work, and the Developer shall obtain the issuance of closure letters from all governmental agencies which have asserted jurisdiction over the remediation of the Site and provide copies of such closure letters to the City. The remedial work shall be performed in accordance with all applicable governmental requirements.
b. Access to Site. In accordance with Section 2.14 of this Agreement, the Developer and the Developer’s consultants, agents, engineers, inspectors, contractors, and employees ( “Developer’s Representatives”) will be given reasonable access to the Site during regular business hours for the purpose of performing such investigation work. The Developer will undertake such investigation work at its sole cost and expense. The Developer agrees to indemnify, defend with counsel reasonably acceptable to the City, and hold the City harmless from all claims (including claims of lien for work or labor performed or materials or supplies furnished), demands, liabilities, losses, damages, costs, fees, and expenses, including the City’s reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses, arising from the acts or activit ies of the Developer or the Developer’s Representatives in, on, or about the Site during or arising in connection with the Developer’s investigation work on the Site. The Developer will repair any damage caused by its investigation work.
2.2.4 Compliance with Surplus Land Act .

In the event there is more than one such holder, the right to cure or remedy a breach or default of the Developer under this Section 3.4.3 shall be exercised by the holder first in priority or as the holders may otherwise agree among themselves, but there shall be only one exercise of such right to cure and remedy a breach or default of the Developer under this Section 3.4.3; provided that such holder shall not have any obligation or duty under this Agreement to construct or complete the improvements. In the event any holder elects to complete the improvements, it shall only do so in the manner provided in this Agreement as to the improvements to which the lien or title relates and shall, prior to commencing such completion, submit evidence reasonably satisfactory to the City that it or its agents or contractors has the qualifications and financial responsibility necessary to complete the improvements. Any such holder properly completing such improvements shall be entitled, upon written request made to the City, to a Certificate of Completion from the City.

In the event of a default or breach by the Developer of a mortgage, deed of trust or other security interest with respect to the Site or a respective parcel thereof prior to the completion of development, and the holder has not exercised its option to complete the development, the City may cure the default prior to completion of any foreclosure. In such event, the City shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Developer of all costs and expenses incurred by the City in curing the default. The City shall also be entitled to a lien upon the Site or the respective parcel thereof to the extent of such costs and disbursements. Any such lien shall be subject to mortgages, deeds of trust or other security interests executed for the sole purpose of obtaining funds to develop the Site or the respective parcel as authorized herein.
3.4.6 Reasonable Amendments
In the event a person or persons providing funding to the Developer to finance the development of the Site or a respective parcel thereof requests changes to the provisions of this Section 3.4, or to any other provision of this Agreement that affects such funding, the City agrees to negotiate in good faith such proposed amendment(s). Any proposed amendment that would be a substantial change to the provisions of this Agreement may be subject to approval by the City Council, as determined by the City Manager with advice from the City Attorney.
3.5 Right to Satisfy Other Liens on the Site After Title Passes After the conveyance of title to a respective parcel to the Developer and prior to the issuance by the City of a Certificate of Completion pursuant to Section 3.6 hereof, and after the Developer has had a reasonable time to challenge, cure or satisfy any liens or encumbrances on the respective parcel , the City shall have the r ight to satisfy any such liens or encumbrance s, provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall require the Developer to pay or make provision for the payment of any tax, assessment, lien or charge so long as the Developer in good faith shall contest the validity or amount thereof, and so long as such delay in payment shall not subject the respective parcel to forfeiture or sale. In such event, the City shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Developer of all costs and expenses incurred by the City in satisfying any such liens or encumbrances. The City shall also be entitled to a lien upon the respective parcel to the extent of such costs and expenses. Any such lien shall be subject to mortgages, deeds of trust or other security interests executed for the sole purpose of obtaining funds to develop the respective parcel as authorized herein.
3.6 Certificate of Completion
Promptly after completion of all construction required by this Agreement to be completed by the Developer upon a respective parcel, the City shall furnish the Developer with a Certificate of Completion upon written request therefor by the Developer. The last Certificate of Completion to be issued by the Cit y applicable to the Site shall also be referred to herein as the
SPB/OldCityHallDDA 30 031523
“final Certificate of Completion.” Any Certificate of Completion shall be in such form as to permit it to be recorded in the Office of the County Recorder of Contra Costa County.
A Certificate of Completion shall be, and shall so state, conclusive determination of satisfactory completion of the construction required by this Agreement upon the respective parcel (or such portion thereof) and of full compliance with the terms hereof pertaining to such construction. After issuance of such Certificate of Completion, any party then owning or thereafter purchasing, leasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in the parcel covered by said Certificate of Completion shall not (because of such ownership, purchase, lease or acquisition) incur any obligation or liability under this Agreement pertaining to such constructio n. Except as otherwise provided herein, after the issuance of a Certificate of Completion for the respective parcel (or such portion thereof), neither the City nor any other person shall have any rights, remedies or controls with respect to the respective parcel (or such portion thereof) that it would otherwise have or be entitled to exercise under this Agreement as a result of a default in or breach of any provision of this Agreement pertaining to such construction, and the respective rights and obligations of the parties with reference to the respective parcel (or portion thereof) shall be as set forth in the grant deed for the respective parcel . Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Agreement shall not merge but shall survive the issuanc e of a Certificate of Completion as necessary to give full force and effect to the provisions referring to this Agreement in the grant deed and other documents recorded pursuant to this Agreement.
The City shall not unreasonably withhold or delay any Certificate of Completion.
If the City refuses or fails to furnish a Certificate of Completion for the respective parcel (or such portion thereof) after written request from the Developer, the City shall, within thirty (30) days following such written request, provide the Developer with a written statement of the reasons the City refused or failed to furnish a Certificate of Completion. The statement shall also contain the City's opinion of the action the Developer must take to obtain a Certificate of Completion. If the reason for such refusal is confined to the immediate unavailability of specific items or materials for landscaping, the City will issue the Certificate of Completion upon the posting of a bond by the Developer with the City in an amount representing a fair value of the work not yet completed.
If the City shall have failed to provide such written statement within said thirty (30) days, the Developer shall be deemed entitled to the Certificate of Completion.
Such Certificate of Completion shall not constitute evidence of compliance with or satisfaction of any obligation of the Developer to any holder of a mortgage or any insurer of a mortgage securing money loaned to finance the improvements or any part thereof. Such Certificate of Completion is not notice of completion as referred to in California Civil Code Section 8182.

SPB/OldCityHallDDA 35 031523

5.6 Remedies and Rights of Termination Prior to Conveyance of the Site
5.6.1 Termination by the Developer
In the event that prior to the close of escrow for conveyance of title to either respective parcel to the Developer:
a. The Developer Conditions Precedent set forth in Section 2.4.2 have not been satisfied as required through no fault of the Developer; or b. The City does not tender conveyance of the respective parcel or possession thereof in the manner and condition and by the date provided in this Agreement, and any such failure is not cured within thirty (30) days after written demand by the Developer; then this Agreement may, at the option of the Developer, be terminated by written notice thereof to the City , provided, however, that any such termination related to the close of escrow for the Phase 1 Parcel shall terminate this Agreement in its entirety a nd any such termination related to the close of escrow for the Phase 2 Parcel shall terminate this Agreement solely as to the Phase 2 Parcel and the obligations of the parties related specifically to the Phase 2 Parcel.

5.6.2 Termination by the City
In the event that prior to conveyance of title to either respective parcel to the Developer:
SPB/OldCityHallDDA 36 031523
a. The Developer transfers or assigns or attempts to transfer or assign this Agreement or any rights herein or in the Site or the buildings or improvements thereon in violation of this Agreement; or b. There is any significant change in the ownership or identity of the Developer or the parties in control of the Developer or the degree thereof in violation of the provisions of Section 1.3.2 hereof, except for a ll transfers permitted in Section 1.3.2 and Permitted Assignments; or
c. The Developer does not submit evidence that it has the necessary equity capital and mortgage financing for development of the respective parcel in satisfactory form and in the manner and by the dates provided in this Agreement; or
d. After satisfaction or waiver by Developer of all the Developer Conditions Precedent, the Developer does not pay the Phase 1 Parcel Purchase Price or the Phase 2 Parcel Purchase Price, as applicable, and take title to the respective parcel under tender of conveyance by the City pursuant to this Agreement; or
e. The City Conditions Precedent have not been satisfied as required through no fault of the City , including but not limited to HCD’s failure to approve the transaction for any reason and with no penalty to the City; or
f. The Developer is in breach or default with respect to any other obligation under this Agreement; and
g. If any default or failure referred to in subdivisions c . through f. of this Section shall not be cured within the time period specified in Section 5.1 above;
then, this Agreement, and any rights of the Developer or any assignee or transferee in this Agreement pertaining thereto or arising therefrom with respec t to the City, may, at the option of the City, be terminated by the City by written notice thereof to the Developer, provided, however, that any such termination related to the close of escrow for the Phase 1 Parcel shall terminate this Agreement in its entirety and any such termination related to the close of escrow for the Phase 2 Parcel shall terminate this Agreement solely as to the Phase 2 Parcel and the obligations of the parties related specifically to the Phase 2 Parcel. Upon such termination, neither the City nor the Developer shall have any further rights against or liability to the other under this Agreement except liquidated damages payable to the City as set forth below.
IN THE EVENT OF TERMINATION UNDER THIS SECTION 5.6.2 ,
THE NONREFUNDABLE PORTION OF THE DEPOSIT SHALL BE PAID TO THE CITY AS
LIQUIDATED DAMAGES AND AS ITS PROPERTY WITHOUT ANY DEDUCTION, OFFSET OR RECOUPMENT WHATSOEVER. IF THE DEVELOPER SHOULD DEFAULT
UPON ITS OBLIGATIONS MAKING IT NECESSARY FOR THE CITY TO TERMINATE
THIS AGREEMENT AND TO PROCURE ANOTHER PARTY OR PARTIES TO DEVELOP
THE SITE OR SUCH PORTION THEREOF , THEN THE DAMAGES SUFFERED BY THE CITY BY REASON THEREOF WOULD BE UNCERTAIN. SUCH DAMAGES WOULD
SPB/OldCityHallDDA 37 031523
INVOLVE SUCH VARIABLE FACTORS AS THE EXPENSE OF INTERESTING PARTIES AND NEGOTIATING WITH SUCH PARTIES; POSTPONEMENT OF TAX AND OTHER REVENUES THEREFROM TO THE COMMUNITY; AND THE FAILURE OF THE CITY TO
EFFECT ITS PURPOSES AND OBJECTIVES WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME,
RESULTING IN ADDIT IONAL IMMEASURABLE DAMAGE AND LOSS TO THE CITY AND THE COMMUNITY. IT IS IMPRACTICABLE AND EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO FIX
THE AMOUNT OF SUCH DAMAGES TO THE CITY , BUT THE PARTIES ARE OF THE
OPINION, UPON THE BASIS OF ALL INFORMATION AVAILABLE TO THEM, THAT
SUCH DAMAGES WOULD APPROXIMATELY EQUAL THE NONREFUNDABLE
PORTION OF THE DEPOSIT AT THE TIME OF THE DEFAULT OF THE DEVELOPER,
AND THE NONREFUNDABLE PORTION OF THE DEPOSIT SHALL BE PAID TO THE
CITY UPON ANY SUCH OCCURRENCE AS THE TOTAL OF ALL LIQUIDATED DAMAGES FOR ANY AND ALL SUCH DEFAULTS AND NOT AS A PENALTY. IN THE
EVENT THAT THIS PARAGRAPH SHOULD BE HELD TO BE VOID FOR ANY REASON,
THE CITY SHALL BE ENTITLED TO THE FULL EXTENT OF DAMAGES OTHERWISE PROVIDED BY LAW.
THE DEVELOPER AND THE CITY SPECIFICALLY
ACKNOWLEDGE THIS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES PROVISION BY THEIR SIGNATURES HERE:

Developer

If the coroner determines the remains to be Native American the coroner shall contact the Native American Heritage Commission within 24 hours.
The Native American Heritage Commission shall identify the person or persons it believes to be the most likely descendent (MLD) from the deceased Native American. The MLD may then make recommendations to the landowner or the person responsible for the excavation work, for means of treating or disposing of, with appropriate dignity, the human remai ns and associated grave goods as provided in Public Resources Code Section 5097.98. The landowner or his authorized representative shall rebury the Native American human remains and associated grave goods with appropriate dignity on the property in a location not subject to further disturbance if:

Attachment No. 5
SPB/OldCityHallDDA Page 3 of 6 031523
“A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his settlement with the debtor or released party.”
The Grantee, for itself and for each and every successor-in-interest, hereby waives and relinquishes any right or benefit which it has or may have under Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California or any similar provision of the statutory or nonstatutory law of any other applicable jurisdiction to the full extent that it may lawfully waive all such rights and benefits pertaining to the subject matter of this paragraph 3.

Attachment No. 9
SPB/OldCityHallDDA Page 5 of 21 031523
provided (i) Trustor shall have notifi ed Beneficiary prior to the commencement of such proceedings, (ii) in the case of any unpaid Taxes or Claims, such proceedings shall suspend the collection thereof from Trustor, Beneficiary and the Mortgaged Property, and shall not constitute a presently enforceable lien against the Mortgaged Property during the pendency of such contest, (iii) neither the Mortgaged Property nor any part thereof nor any interest therein will be in danger of being sold, forfeited, term inated, cancelled or lost, (iv) such proc eedings shall not have an adverse effect on the lien or security interest created hereby or upon the enforcement of any provisions of the Loan Documents, and (v) if Beneficiary shall so require, Trustor shall have deposited with Beneficiary such security reasonably necessary for payment of the contested Taxes or Claims, with interest and penalties and Beneficiary’s expenses.
1.05 Impounds. Beneficiary may, at its option to be exercised prior to or upon the recordation of this Purchase Money Loan Deed of Trust or thereafter upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to Trustor and the existence of any reasonable grounds for insecurity as to payment by Trustor, require the deposit with Beneficiary or its designee by Trustor of amounts sufficient to discharge the obligations of Trustor under Sections 1.02 and 1.04 hereof as and when they become due. The determination of the amounts to be deposited with Beneficiary and the times for such deposit shall be made by Beneficiary in its sole discretion. Said amounts shal l not be considered to be held by Beneficiary or its designee in trust nor as agent of Trustor, shall bear interest at the rate of interest customarily paid by Beneficiary, and shall be applied to the payment of the obligations in respect of which the amounts were deposited or, at the option of Beneficiary, to the payment of said obligations in such order or priority as Beneficiary shall determine. If at any time within thirty (30) days prior to the due date of any of the aforementioned obligations the amounts then on deposit therefor shall be insufficient for the payment of such obligations in full, Trustor shall, within ten (10) days after demand, deposit the amount of the deficiency with Beneficiary. If the amounts deposited are in excess of the actual obligations for which they were deposited, Beneficiary may refund any such excess, or, at its option, may hold the same in a reserve account, not in trust and bearing interest, and reduce proportionately the required deposits for the ensuing year. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to affect any right or remedy of Beneficiary under any other provision of this Purchase Money Loan Deed of Trust or under any statute or rule of law to pay any such amount and to add the amount so paid to the indebtedness hereby secured.
All amounts so deposited shall be held by Beneficiary or its designee as additional security for the sums secured by this Purchase Money Loan Deed of Trust, and upon the occurrence of a default hereunder Beneficiary may, in its sole and abs olute discretion, and without regard to the adequacy of its security hereunder in the event of a monetary default or nonmonetary default if the Beneficiary elects to accelerate the Purchase Money Loan, apply such amounts or any portion thereof to any part of the indebtedness secured hereby. Any such application of said amounts or any portion thereof to any indebtedness secured hereby shall not be construed to cure or waive any default or notice of default hereunder or invalidate any act done pursuant to an y such default or notice.
To the extent Beneficiary requires deposits to be made pursuant to this Section 1.05, Trustor shall deliver to Beneficiary all tax bills, bond and assessment statements, statements of insurance premiums, and statements for any other obligations referred to above as soon as the same are received by Trustor. If Beneficiary sells or assigns this Purchase Money Loan Deed of Trust, Beneficiary shall have the right to transfer all amounts deposited under this Section to the purchaser or assignee, and Beneficiary shall thereupon be released and have no further liability
Attachment No. 9
SPB/OldCityHallDDA Page 6 of 21 031523

Upon the occurrence of any default hereunder, the Beneficiary shall have the right to cause any of the Mortgaged Property which is personal property and subject to the security interest of the Beneficiary hereunder, not including any personal property of any Tenant of the Project or any leased personal property of Trustor (“Personal Property”) to be sold at any one or more public or private sales in any manner permitted by applicable law, and the Beneficiary shall further have all other rights and remedies, whether at law, in equity, or by statute, as are available to secured creditors under applicable law. Any such disposition may be conducted by an employee or agent of the Beneficiary or the Trustee. Any person, including both the Trustor and the Beneficiary, shall be eligible to purchase any part or all of such property at any such disposition.
Expenses of retakin g, holding, preparing for sale, selling or the like shall be borne by Trustor and shall include the Beneficiary’s and the Trustee’s attorneys’ fees and legal expenses.
Trustor, upon demand of the Beneficiary, shall assemble the Personal Property and make it available to the Beneficiary at the property, a place which is hereby deemed to be reasonably convenient to the Beneficiary. The Beneficiary s hall give Trustor at least five (5) days’ prior written notice of the time and place of any public sale or other disposition of such property or of the time of or after which any private sale or any other intended disposition is to be made, and if such notice is sent to Trustor, as the same is provided for the mailing of notices herein, it is hereby deemed that such notice shall be and is reasonable notice to Trustor.

SPB/OldCityHallDDA Page 7 of 21 031523
(d) The Personal Property will be kept on or at the property and Trustor will not remove the Personal Property from the property without the prior written consent of Beneficiary, except such portions or items of Personal Property which are consumed or worn out in ordinary usage, all of which shall be promptly replaced by Trustor with new items of equal or greater quality and value.
(e) Trustor maintains a place of business in the State of California and Trustor wi ll immediately notify Beneficiary in writing of any change in its place of business.

However, until Trustor is in default under this Purchase Money Loan Deed of Trust, Trustor will have a license to demand, receive and enforce payment, give receipts or releases and sue in the name of Trustor for all such rents, royalties, income and profits. Upon any default by Trustor, the Beneficiary may terminate Trustor's license in its discretion at any time without notice to Trustor and may thereafter collect the rents, royalties, income and profits itself or by an agent or receiver. No action taken by the Beneficiary to collect any rents, royalties, income or profits will make the Beneficiary a “mortgagee -in-possession” of the Mortgaged Property, unless the Beneficiary personally or by agent enters into actual possession of the Mortgaged Property. Possession by a court -appointed receiver will not be considered possession by the Beneficiary. All rents, royalties, income and profits collected by the Beneficiary or a receiver will be applied first to pay all expenses of collection, and then to the payment of all costs of operation and management of the Mortgaged Property, and then to the payment of the indebtedness and obligations secured b y this Purchase Money Loan Deed of Trust in whatever order the Beneficiary directs in its absolute discretion and without regard to the adequacy of its security.

The provisions of this Section 1.08 shall not apply to: (a) the granting of such security interests in the Mortgaged Property for the purpose of securing loans or funds to be used for financing the development of the Mortgaged Property, to which Beneficiary has agreed this Purchase Money Loan Deed of Trust shall be subordinate as described in Section 4.14 hereof; and (b) a refinancing which does not increase the amounts of periodic payments or aggregate principal amount owed by Trustor, or extend the time for repayment thereof.
Attachment No. 9
SPB/OldCityHallDDA Page 8 of 21 031523
1.09 Use and Maintenance.
(a) Trustor agrees that at all times during construction and thereafter, Trustor will use, maintain, preserve and keep the Mortgaged Property, including all Improvements thereon to be maintained, preserved and kept, and to perform all obligat ions with respect to the development and rental of the individual residential units, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the DDA and the Affordable Housing Regulatory Agreement.
Trustor agrees to pay fully and discharge (or cause to be paid full y and discharged) all claims for labor done and for material and services furnished in connection with the Improvements to be constructed on the property, diligently to file or procure the filing of a valid notice of completion upon completion of construct ion of any part of the Improvements or the Mortgaged Property, diligently file or procure the filing of a notice of cessation upon the event of a cessation of labor on the work or construction of the Improvements for a continuous period of thirty (30) days or more, and to take all other reasonable steps to forestall the assertion of claims of lien against the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof. Trustor irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes Beneficiary as its agent (said agency being coupled with an interest) with the authority, but without any obligation, to file for record any notices of completion or cessation of labor or any other notice that Beneficiary deems necessary or desirable to protect its interests in and to the Improvements, the M ortgaged Property, the DD A or the Affordable Housing Regulatory Agreement; provided, however, that Beneficiary shall exercise its rights as agent of Trustor only in the event that Trustor shall fail to take, or shall fail to diligently continue to take, th ose actions as hereinbefore provided.
Upon demand by Beneficiary, Trustor shall make or cause to be made such demands or claims as Beneficiary shall specify upon laborers, materialmen, subcontractors or other persons who have furnished or claim to have furnished labor, services or materials in connection with the Improvements. Nothing herein contained shall require Trustor to pay any claims for labor, materials or services which Trustor in good faith disputes and is diligently contesting; provided that Trustor shall, within ten (10) days after the filing of any claim of lien, record in the Office of the Recorder of Contra Costa County a surety bond sufficient to release said claim of lien, or provide Beneficiary, at Trustor’s cost, with such security or assurances (and extensions, renewals or substitutions thereof) as Beneficiary may, in its sole discretion, approve in writing. (b) Trustor will not commit any waste on the Mortgaged Property or take any actions that might invalidate any insurance carried on the Mortgaged Property.

Trustor agrees that, if for any reason it fails to pay the amounts due under this Project Loan Deed of Trust within fifteen (15) days after the date when due, the Beneficiary shall be entitled to damages for the detriment caused thereby, but that it is extremely difficult and impr actical to ascertain the extent of such damages. Trustor agrees that such amount as is specified herein is a reasonable approximation of damages for late payment.
