Subject:Rescission of Tax Sale
August 9, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Official Minutes 18
FISCAL IMPACT:
The purchase price will be refunded to the tax sale purchaser from the Tax Sale Trust Fund and the interest rate on
the purchase price will be refunded to the tax sale purchaser from the General Fund at the rate determined under
Revenue and Taxation section 5151.
BACKGROUND:
The parcel that is the subject of the rescission is Assessor’s Parcel Number 410-152-034 (the “Property”), an
unimproved property located on California Avenue in San Pablo. The Property became tax defaulted on July 1,
2010 for non-payment of secured property taxes and, in accordance with Revenue and Taxation Code section
3691, the Treasurer-Tax Collector recorded the power to sell the Property on July 1, 2015. During the
Treasurer-Tax Collector’s public auction of tax-defaulted property on February 23, 2016, Emmanuel V. Okereke
purchased the Property for $65,342.00, an amount sufficient to satisfy the delinquent secured property taxes,
including the transfer tax. The tax deed to Mr. Okereke was recorded on March 11, 2016.
On April 4, 2016, the County received an objection to the tax sale from the previous owner of the property, Jose
Francisco Penado. Mr. Penado claimed that the Property had been sold at auction without his knowledge. After
review of the objection from Mr. Penado, the Treasurer-Tax Collector’s Office determined that the Assessor’s
Office had not updated their records to reflect Mr. Penado’s purchase of the Property in 2009. Therefore, the
Treasurer-Tax Collector’s Office had notified the previous owner of record of the tax sale, rather than Mr.
Penado.
After considering Mr. Penado’s objection, the Treasurer-Tax Collector determined the sale should be rescinded on
the grounds that Mr. Penado was not sent the required statutory notice of the tax sale. The Assessor’s Office
concurs that a rescission of the tax sale for the Property is warranted under the circumstances. Based on this
conclusion, the Treasurer-Tax Collector sent an April 28, 2016 letter to the purchaser, Mr. Okereke, requesting
that he consent to rescind the sale. However, Mr. Okereke has not agreed to do so to date.
Pursuant to Revenue and Taxation Code section 3731, if the written consent of the purchaser of the Property or a
successor in interest is not obtained, the sale may be rescinded by the Board of Supervisors when both of the
following conditions are met:
(1) A hearing is scheduled before the Board of Supervisors; and
(2) A notification is provided to the purchaser of the hearing scheduled before the Board of Supervisors.
These statutory conditions have been met. The Treasurer-Tax Collector has notified all interested parties, which
include the purchaser and the previous owner of the Property, of the hearing time and place concerning rescission
of the tax sale. County Counsel has also provided written consent to the rescission as required under Section 3731.
There are no statutory impediments to the rescission because the Property has not been transferred or conveyed by
the purchaser at the tax sale to a bona fide purchaser for value and it has not become subject to a bona fide
encumbrance for value subsequent to recordation of the tax deed. In addition, in connection with the tax sale, Mr.
Okereke accepted the Treasurer-Tax Collector’s Public Auction Terms and Conditions, which provide that if the
Treasurer-Tax Collector determines the Property should not have been sold, Mr. Okereke will consent to
rescission of the tax sale.
If the Board concurs with the Treasurer-Tax Collector and rescinds the sale, Mr. Penado, as the owner of the
Property, will be responsible for the delinquent and current taxes and assessments that are owed on the Property
and any associated charges. When the rescission is recorded, the sale becomes null and void, as though it never
occurred.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the rescission is not approved, the tax sale will not be rescinded without court intervention.

Subject:Adoption of an Ordinance Calling for a Special Election for a Local Sales Tax for Transportation Improvements and
Growth Management
August 9, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Official Minutes 47
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Over the past several months, the Authority has undertaken actions necessary to have a measure placed on the
November 2016 general election ballot that would establish an additional one-half of one percent sales tax for
transportation purposes to meet the growing needs of Contra Costa County. If the tax passes, the revenues will
supplement an existing one-half of one percent local transportation sales tax implemented by Measure C in 1988,
which was extended until March 31, 2034 by Measure J in 2004.
As required by Public Utilities Code section 180206, the Authority prepared a Transportation Expenditure Plan
(TEP), entitled "Transforming Contra Costa County, Our New 30-Year Transportation Expenditure Plan", that
sets forth the use of the approximately $2.9 billion expected to be derived from the 30-year sales tax. The TEP
includes proposed project and program expenditures, including a revised Growth Management Program (GMP), a
new Complete Streets Policy, and a new Advance Mitigation Program to help the Authority achieve its goals to
reduce future congestion, manage the impacts of growth, and expand alternatives to the single-occupant vehicle.
The Authority approved the final language for the TEP on May 18, 2016 and released the TEP for approval by
city/town councils and the County Board of Supervisors. By July 12, 2016, the TEP was approved by the
city/town councils of all nineteen of the cities/towns in Contra Costa County and the County Board of Supervisors.
Following approval of the TEP by the governing boards of Contra Costa County and its cities/towns, the
Authority approved the TEP, with corrections to the BART funding provisions, on July 20, 2016 by Authority
Ordinance 16-02. Ordinance 16-02 and the associated TEP are attached to this report (Attachment 2). At the same
time, it adopted Authority Ordinance No. 16-03 (Attachment 4), which establishes a transportation sales tax for
the period from April 1, 2017 to March 31, 2047, subject to the approval of two-thirds of the voters. Through
Authority Resolution 16-41-P, the Authority also requested that the Board of Supervisors call and consolidate an
election for the purpose of submitting a ballot measure to the qualified voters seeking approval of the sales tax.
Public Utilities Code Section 180201 and 180203 requires the election to be called by a county ordinance. At
least five days must elapse between introduction and adoption of the ordinance. On August 2, 2016, the Board
introduced the ordinance, waived its reading and fixed adoption of the ordinance for August 9, 2016. The Board’s
action today adopts the ordinance. The Board’s adoption of this ordinance is a ministerial activity that is exempt
from CEQA (Public Resources Code section 21080(b)(1)). The Notice of Exemption is Attachment #3 to this report.
The sample ballot mailed to the voters will contain the full proposition, as set forth in Section III of Ordinance
2016-17, and the voter information handbook will include the entire TEP and Authority Ordinance No. 16-03,
which establishes the sales tax.
Pursuant to Public Utilities Code section 180203(a) and Authority Resolution 16-41-P, the Authority will
reimburse the County for all costs of conducting the election, including those relating to consolidation of the
election.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the Board of Supervisors does not take the recommended actions, the Authority’s proposed 30-year countywide
transportation sales tax will not be submitted to the voters as a measure on the November 8, 2016 ballot.

ORDINANCE NO. 2016-17
(Calling of Special Election for Voter Approval to Augment Local Sales Tax for
Transportation Purposes)
The Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors ordains as follows:
SECTION I. SUMMARY. This ordinance calls a special election, at the request of the
Contra Costa Transportation Authority, referred to as the “Authority,” for the purpose of
submitting to the voters for approval an additional one-half of one percent sales tax for
the transportation projects and programs described in the tax ordinance and county
transportation expenditure plan adopted by the Authority on July 20, 2016.
SECTION II. RECITALS AND FINDINGS. This ordinance is made with reference to the
following recitals and findings:
Local highway and transportation improvements in Contra Costa County are
needed to address countywide mobility needs and alleviate traffic congestion that
threatens the economic viability of the area and adversely impacts the quality of life in
the County.
To manage current and future local transportation maintenance and improvement
needs, local jurisdictions need to develop and implement local funding programs that go
significantly beyond current federal and state funding, which is inadequate to resolve
these problems.
It is in the public interest, under the Local Transportation Authority and
Improvement Act (Public Utilities Code Section 180000 and following), to allow the
voters in Contra Costa County to implement a new retail transactions and use tax (sales
tax) ordinance to raise additional local revenues for a transportation expenditure plan
that funds transportation improvements and maintenance and meets local transportation
needs in a timely manner.
In 1988, voters in Contra Costa County passed Measure C, which created a one-
half cent sales tax for 20 years to support transportation programs and projects. In
2004, voters approved Measure J, which extended the transportation sales tax for an
additional 25 years beyond the previous expiration date.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Transforming Contra Costa County 1
Plan Summary 2
Policy Statements 15
Taxpayer Safeguards and Accountability 24
Contra Costa is a county as unique and diverse as its
residents. Our communities stretch from the Richmond
coastline to Discovery Bay, from Port Chicago to the San
Ramon Valley, and from Mount Diablo to Crockett Hills. We
are growing with the times while protecting the qualities that
make Contra Costa County a wonderful place to call home.
We need a transportation plan that reflects where we are
now and, more importantly, our commitment to pursue
transportation policies, planning and investments that will
get us where we want to be.
The Contra Costa Transportation Authority (CCTA) is
responsible for maintaining and improving the county’s
transportation system by planning, funding, and delivering
critical transportation infrastructure projects and programs that
connect our communities, foster a strong economy, increase
sustainability, and safely and efficiently get people and freight
where they need to go. CCTA is also the county’s designated
Congestion Management Agency (CMA), responsible for
putting programs in place to keep traffic levels manageable.
Currently, our transportation needs significantly exceed
available revenue to meet those needs. Over the next 30 years,
our population will continue to grow and that population will
have new and additional needs. A new countywide funding
measure and Transportation Expenditure Plan (TEP) can keep
Contra Costa County moving and create the livable and
sustainable communities that all Contra Costans deserve.
After extensive public engagement and analysis, CCTA
prepared a 30-year TEP that will promote a strong economy,
protect the environment, maintain and improve local
streets and roads, encourage greater transit usage and
alternate forms of transportation, and enhance the quality
of life for all of Contra Costa’s diverse communities. This new
TEP will benefit every person and every part of the county.
This plan is transformative on every level. With a strong focus
on technology and innovation, the plan will deliver a more
efficient, cleaner and faster transportation system.
The new plan will significantly cut emissions through an emphasis
on transit, electric and other non-fossil fuel oriented modes of
transportation and transportation networks. It provides for new
BART cars that will reduce energy use, pollution and costs,
and that will provide increased frequency of BART trains and
improved BART station access, and also provides for improved
bus transit operations and improved bus frequency, potential
driverless vehicles, bikes in every community, and connectivity
among and with all modes of transportation.
The plan also sets forward clear policies that ensure that while we
grow, we will keep all growth within clear urban limit lines. This
will allow the county to continue growing in a smart way, while
protecting vital open space for parks and farmland. Furthermore,
increased investments in bike and pedestrian paths and walkways
bring access to the outdoors to every community.
Smooth, safe and complete streets for cars, trucks, buses,
bikes and pedestrians, along with extraordinary investments
in direct funding to Contra Costa’s communities for local
street and road repair, will greatly enhance all communities.
For our urban areas, the plan focuses on support for transit
and transit-oriented mixed-use development. This includes an
emphasis on bicycle and pedestrian opportunities,
interconnectivity, transit, traffic smoothing, and technological
advances to ensure our systems are efficient and work well
together.
This plan will benefit the people who live in Contra Costa
County by:
• Attracting more good jobs, which will reduce
commute trips and congestion
• Actively managing the impacts of growth on our
community so we support local businesses and
preserve our environment
• Accommodating the needs of all transportation
modes, while increasing the use of alternative
transportation; and
• Enhancing transportation services for seniors,
persons with disabilities and school children
This TEP was developed with two key documents as
guidance – the Expenditure Plan Advisory Committee (EPAC)
Vision, Goals and Objectives and the CCTA Principles for
Development of a Transportation Expenditure Plan. Both
documents are available for review at www.CCTA.net. Building
on these two documents and extensive public engagement
with stakeholders, the TEP articulates how the Authority will
use nearly $3 billion in additional revenue to invest wisely
– using locally-generated funds and leveraging outside
matching funds – to maximize the benefits for all Contra
Costa residents by promoting a strong economy, protecting
the environment, maintaining and improving local streets and
roads, and encouraging greater transit usage and alternate
forms of transportation.

26.8%
This category is intended to provide funding to increase
the capacity of and ridership on the BART System in
Contra Costa County, including improvements to local
BART stations, as well as access and parking in Contra
Costa County. Funds in this category are intended to be
allocated by the Authority for the acquisition of additional
new BART cars, provided that: 1) BART agrees to fund a
minimum of $100 million in BART station, access and
parking improvements in Contra Costa County from other
BART revenues, and 2) a regional approach, that includes
commitments of equal funding shares from both Alameda
and San Francisco counties and additional regional funding
from the Metropolitan Transportation Commission, is
developed and approved no later than December 31, 2024.
BART station, access and parking improvements or alternate
public transit services that access BART may include
station capacity, safety and operational improvements;
infrastructure improvements that facilitate Transit Oriented
Development at or near BART stations; additional on or
off site parking, last mile shuttle or shared vehicles that
provide alternatives to driving single-occupant vehicles
to BART stations; and bicycle/pedestrian facilities that
provide access to BART stations.
In the event that commitments from the four parties to fund
additional BART cars are not approved by December 31,
2024, or any date earlier if BART informs the Authority it
is no longer pursuing the acquisition of additional BART
cars as provided herein, and if BART has maintained
the commitment to fund a minimum of $100 million in
improvements as described above, the Authority (in
consultation with the RTPCs) and BART will jointly identify,
and the Authority will allocate these funds for other capacity-
enhancing, safety and efficiency increasing projects (to
include station, access and parking improvements or
alternate public transit services that access BART) that
benefit the residents of Contra Costa County.
Prior to any appropriation, allocation or reimbursement of
funds to BART, the Authority Board shall make a finding
that BART has continued to use a proportional share
of its operating allocations for capital projects. BART’s
preliminary FY 2017 Budget forecasts approximately $144
million of its operating allocations to capital projects.
BART shall demonstrate that it continues to use an
equivalent proportional share of its operating revenues
for capital projects allowing for normal annual fluctuations
in capital projects or maintenance expenditures. In years
where BART fare revenues or other general fund revenues
are reduced by a decrease in ridership or unforeseen
economic circumstances, loss of regional, state or federal
funding, or where one-time costs are increased by a
natural disaster, then the Authority may release funds only
if the Authority Board makes findings that 1) BART has not
reduced its capital project funding disproportionately to
the total operating revenue and 2) BART made best efforts
to fund capital projects that benefit Contra Costa County.

Local Street Maintenance & Improvements $664 million
This category is intended to fund maintenance and
improvement projects on local streets and roads and may
be used for any eligible transportation purposes as defined
under the Act. The Authority will distribute 23.1 percent
of the annual sales tax revenues to all local jurisdictions
with a base allocation of $100,000 for each jurisdiction,
the balance will be distributed based 50 percent on
relative population and 50 percent on road miles for each
jurisdiction, subject to compliance with the Authority’s
reporting, audit and GMP requirements. Population
figures used shall be the most current available from the
State Department of Finance. Road mileage shall be from
the most current information included in the Highway
Performance Monitoring System (HPMS)
Funds shall be used by each jurisdiction to maintain and
enhance existing roadway and other transportation facilities.
Jurisdictions shall comply with the Authority’s Maintenance
of Effort (MOE) policy as well as Implementation Guidelines
of this TEP. Local agencies will report on the use of these
funds, such as the amount spent on roadway maintenance,
bicycle and pedestrian facilities, transit facilities, and other
roadway improvements.
This subcategory is intended to fund additional maintenance
and improvement projects on local streets and roads. These
additional funds will be allocated to Central Contra Costa
County jurisdictions based on the formula of 50 percent on
relative population and 50 percent on road miles for each
jurisdiction and subject to program requirements detailed
above.

Safe Transportation for Children $64 million
This category is to provide funds to programs and projects
that promote safe transportation options for children to
access schools or after school programs. Eligible projects
include but are not limited to reduced fare transit passes
and transit incentive programs, school bus programs, and
projects for pedestrian and bicycle safety that provide
school-related access.
The Authority will allocate funds and will establish
guidelines (in cooperation with project sponsors) to define
priorities and maximize effectiveness. The guidelines
may require provisions such as parent contributions;
operational efficiencies; specific performance criteria and
reporting requirements.
Transportation for Seniors & People With Disabilities $115 million
Funding in this category is to support mobility opportunities
for seniors and people with disabilities who, due to age or
disability, cannot drive or take other transit options.
To ensure services are delivered in a coordinated system that
maximizes both service delivery and efficiency, an Accessible
Transportation Service (ATS) Strategic Plan will be developed
and periodically updated during the term of the measure.
No funding under this category will be allocated until the
ATS Strategic Plan has been developed and adopted. An
overarching component in the development and delivery
of the ATS Strategic Plan is using mobility management
to ensure coordination and efficiencies in accessible
service delivery. The plan will address both Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA) and non-ADA services. The plan
will evaluate the appropriate model for our local structure
including how accessible services are delivered by all
agencies and where appropriate coordination can improve
transportation services, eliminate gaps in service and find
efficiencies in the service delivered. The ATS Strategic Plan
would also determine the investments and oversight of
the program funding and identify timing, projects, service
delivery options, administrative structure, and fund leverage
opportunities.
The ATS Strategic Plan will be developed by the Authority,
in consultation with direct users of service, stakeholders
representing seniors and people with disabilities who face
mobility barriers, and non-profit and publicly operated
paratransit service providers. Public operators in Contra
Costa must participate in the ATS planning process to
be eligible to receive funding in this category. The ATS
Strategic Plan must be adopted no later than April 1, 2018.
The development of the ATS Strategic Plan will not affect
the allocation of funds to current operators as prescribed in
the existing Measure J Expenditure Plan.

Major Streets, Complete Streets, and Traffic Synchronization Project Grants $290 million
This category is intended to fund improvements to major
thoroughfares throughout Contra Costa to improve the
safe, efficient and reliable movement of buses, vehicles,
bicyclists and pedestrians along said corridors (i.e. traffic
smoothing). Eligible projects shall include a variety of
components that meet the needs of all users and respond
to the context of the facility. Projects may include but are
not limited to installation of bike and pedestrian facilities,
installation of “smart” parking management programs,
separated bike lanes, synchronization of traffic signals
and other technology solutions to manage traffic, traffic
calming and pedestrian safety improvements, shoulders,
sidewalks, curbs and gutters, streetscapes and bus transit
facility enhancements such as bus turnouts and passenger
amenities. As an element of this program, the Authority
will adopt a ‘traffic signal synchronization’ program and
award grants for installation of ‘state of the art’ technology
designed to smooth the flow of traffic along major arterial
roadways throughout the county. Funding from this
program will be prioritized to projects that improve access
for all modes to jobs, commercial areas and transit, and
the design process which includes opportunity for public
input from existing and potential users of the facility.
Priority will be given to projects that can show a high
percentage of “other funding” allocated to the project (i.e.
– leverage). The Authority will adopt program guidelines
that will include information regarding how to evaluate the
range of possible project components. All projects will be
selected through a competitive project selection process
within each subregion with the Authority approving the
final program of projects, allowing for a comprehensive
countywide approach while recognizing subregional
needs to achieve the overall program goal. All projects
funded through this program must comply with the
Authority’s Complete Streets Policy and include complete
street elements whenever possible. Twenty percent of
the program funding will be allocated to four Complete
Streets demonstration projects, one in each subregion,
recommended by the relevant RTPC and approved by
Authority, to demonstrate the successful implementation
of Complete Streets projects no later than April 1, 2022..
Projects will be required to strongly pursue the use of
separated bike lane facilities in the demonstration project
program. The purpose of these demonstration projects is
to create examples of successful complete street projects
in multiple situations throughout the county.

Building Sustainable Communities and Protecting the Environment
Pedestrian, Bicycle and Trail Facilities $115 million
Two-thirds of the funds from this program shall be used
to implement projects in the Countywide Bicycle and
Pedestrian Plan, consistent with the current Measure J
program. These funds shall be allocated to projects that
improve safety for pedestrians and bicyclists, serve the
greatest number of users and significant destinations,
and remove missing segments and existing barriers
to walking and bicycling. All projects will be selected
through a competitive project selection process within
each subregion with the Authority approving the final
program of projects, allowing for a comprehensive
countywide approach while recognizing subregional
needs to achieve the overall program goal. The review
process shall consider project feasibility and readiness and
the differing needs of the sub-regions when identifying
projects for funding. Funding available through this
program is to be primarily used to construct and maintain
bicycle, pedestrian and trail facilities, as well as to make
safety or other improvements to bicycle, pedestrian and
trail facilities. Planning to identify a preferred alignment
for major new bicycle, pedestrian or trail connections may
also be funded through this program.
One-third of the funds are to be allocated to the East Bay
Regional Park District (EBRPD) for the development and
rehabilitation of paved regional trails. EBRPD is to spend
its allocation proportionally in each sub-region, subject
to the review and approval of the conceptual planning/
design phase by the applicable sub-regional committee,
prior to funding allocation by the Authority. The Authority
in conjunction with EBRPD will develop a maintenance-of-
effort requirement for funds under this component of the
funding category.
Consistent with the Countywide Bicycle and Pedestrian
Plan and the complete streets policy established in this
expenditure plan, project sponsors receiving funding
through other funding categories in this Plan shall
incorporate, whenever possible, pedestrian, bicycle, and
trail facilities into their projects.
Community Development Transportation Program $100 million
This category is intended to provide funding to implement
a new Community Development Transportation Program
(CDTP) to be administered by the Authority in conjunction
with the Authority’s existing Transportation for Livable
Communities Program (TLC) with projects identified by the
Authority’s Regional Transportation Planning Committees
(RTPCs). Funds will be allocated by the Authority on a
competitive basis to transportation projects or programs
that promote housing within planned or established centers
that are supported by transit, or that support economic
development and job creation in Contra Costa County.
All projects will be selected through a competitive project
selection process within each subregion with the Authority
approving the final program of projects, allowing for a
comprehensive countywide approach while recognizing
subregional needs to achieve the overall program goal.
Project sponsors must demonstrate that at least 20 percent
of the project is funded from other than local transportation
sales tax revenue. Additional priority will be given to
projects where the sponsor can demonstrate that the project
supports and facilitates development of jobs or housing for
all income levels and that have additional matching funds
that have already been committed or secured. Working
with the RTPCs, the Authority will prepare guidelines and
establish overall criteria for the program with the intent
of complementing and administering the program in
conjunction with the Authority’s Measure J TLC program no
later than December 31, 2017.

Building Sustainable Communities and Protecting the Environment
Innovative Transportation Technology/Connected Communities Program $65 million
This category is intended to provide funding for the
planning and development of projects and programs that
include innovative solutions intended to (a) develop and
demonstrate transportation innovation through real-world
applications, (b) reduce GHG emissions, and (c) implement
connected transportation solutions. The Authority intends
innovative solutions to include installing new digital and
communications infrastructures, automated processes and
intelligent controls, and integration with other community
services, such as public safety and communications
providers, to support a more integrated transportation
system that promotes economic development, expanded
job opportunities, increased government efficiency,
reductions in consumption of nonrenewable resources,
and increased sustainability, safety and mobility. Examples
of eligible projects include but are not limited to expanding
opportunities for zero emission vehicle charging; smart
rideshare, carshare and bikeshare services; on-demand and
personal transit services that complement traditional fixed-
route transit; smart and automated parking; intelligent,
sensor-based infrastructure; smart payment systems; and
data sharing to improve mobility choices for all users.
Projects are intended to promote connectivity between
all users of the transportation network (cars, pedestrians,
bikes, buses, trucks, etc.) and automation technologies that
collectively facilitate the transformation toward connected
communities. Funding is intended to match State, federal,
or regional grants and private-sector investment to achieve
maximum benefits. By investing in these solutions, Contra
Costa County can become a national model in sustainable,
technology-enabled transportation.
A minimum of twenty-five percent is to be allocated
to each sub-program (a, b and c above) over the life of
the measure. The Authority will prepare guidelines and
establish overall criteria for the Innovative Transportation
Technology/Connected Communities Program and
provide technical resources to project sponsors. All
programs/projects will be selected through a competitive
project selection process within each subregion with
the Authority approving the final programs/projects for
each of the sub-programs, allowing for a comprehensive
countywide approach while recognizing subregional needs
to achieve the overall program goal.
Project sponsors must demonstrate that the programs
provide highly efficient services that are cost effective,
integrated and responsive to the needs of the community.
Regional Transportation Priorities $19 million
This category is intended to fund any project or program
identified in the Expenditure Plan or eligible under the

1 The Authority will, to the extent possible, attempt to harmonize the Growth Management and the State-mandated Congestion
Management Programs. To the extent they conflict, Congestion Management Program Activities shall take precedence over Growth
Management activities.
The Growth Management Program
Goals and Objectives
The overall goal of the Growth Management Program is to preserve and enhance the quality of life and promote a
healthy, strong economy to benefit the people and areas of Contra Costa through a cooperative, multi-jurisdictional
process for managing growth, while maintaining local authority over land use decisions.1
The objectives of the Growth Management Program are to:
• Assure that new residential, business and commercial growth pays for the facilities required to meet the demands
resulting from that growth.
• Require cooperative transportation and land use planning among Contra Costa County, cities, towns, and
transportation agencies.
• Support land use patterns within Contra Costa that make more efficient use of the transportation system,
consistent with the General Plans of local jurisdictions.
• Support infill and redevelopment in existing urban and brownfield areas.
The Measure J Transportation Expenditure Plan Growth Management Program (see page 18) includes:
Principles of Agreement for Establishing the Urban Limit Line, is replaced in its entirety by this Growth Management
Program (see page 18): Urban Limit Line (ULL) Definitions and Compliance Requirements.
Components
To receive its share of the 2016 Transforming Contra Costa County Expenditure Plan funding from Local Streets
Maintenance and Improvements funds and its share of Contra Costa’s Measure J Transportation Sales Tax
Expenditure Plan Local Streets Maintenance & Improvements funding and to be eligible for Contra Costa’s Measure
J Transportation Sales Tax Expenditure Transportation for Livable Communities funds and the 2016 Transforming
Contra Costa County Expenditure Plan funding from Community Development Transportation Program funds each
jurisdiction must:
1. Adopt a Growth Management Element
Each jurisdiction must adopt, or maintain in place, a Growth Management Element as part of its General Plan that
outlines the jurisdiction’s goals and policies for managing growth and requirements for achieving those goals. The
Growth Management Element must show how the jurisdiction will comply with sections 2–8 below. The Authority
will refine its model Growth Management Element and administrative procedures in consultation with the Regional
Transportation Planning Committees to reflect the revised Growth Management Program.
Each jurisdiction is encouraged to incorporate other standards and procedures into its Growth Management Element
to support the objectives and required components of this Growth Management Program.
2. Adopt a Development Mitigation Program
Each jurisdiction must adopt, or maintain in place, a development mitigation program to ensure that new growth is
paying its share of the costs associated with that growth. This program shall consist of both a local program to mitigate
impacts on local streets and other facilities and a regional program to fund regional and subregional transportation
projects, consistent with the Countywide Comprehensive Transportation Plan.
1514
August 9, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Official Minutes 76
ccta.net f /Contra Costa Transportation Authority T @CCTA Y ccta.net/youtube
The jurisdiction’s local development mitigation program shall ensure that revenue provided from this measure shall not
be used to replace private developer funding that has or would have been committed to any project.
The regional development mitigation program shall establish fees, exactions, assessments or other mitigation measures to fund
regional or subregional transportation improvements needed to mitigate the impacts of planned or forecast development.
Regional mitigation programs may adjust such fees, exactions, assessments or other mitigation measures when developments
are within walking distance of frequent transit service or are part of a mixed-use development of sufficient density and with
necessary facilities to support greater levels of walking and bicycling. Each Regional Transportation Planning Committee shall
develop the regional development mitigation program for its region, taking account of planned and forecast growth and
the Multimodal Transportation Service Objectives and actions to achieve them established in the Action Plans for Routes
of Regional Significance. Regional Transportation Planning Committees may use existing regional mitigation programs, if
consistent with this section, to comply with the Growth Management Program.
3. Address Housing Options
Each jurisdiction shall demonstrate reasonable progress in providing housing opportunities for all income levels as part of a
report on the implementation of the actions outlined in its adopted Housing Element. The report will demonstrate progress by:
a. Comparing the number of housing units approved, constructed or occupied within the jurisdiction over the
preceding five years with the number of units needed on average each year to meet the housing objectives
established in the jurisdiction’s Housing Element; or
b. Illustrating how the jurisdiction has adequately planned to meet the existing and projected housing
needs through the adoption of land use plans and regulatory systems which provide opportunities for, and
do not unduly constrain, housing development; or
c. Illustrating how a jurisdiction’s General Plan and zoning regulations facilitate the improvement and development
of sufficient housing to meet those objectives.
In addition, each jurisdiction shall consider the impacts that its land use and development policies have on the local,
regional and countywide transportation system, including the level of transportation capacity that can reasonably be
provided, and shall incorporate policies and standards into its development approval process that support transit,
bicycle and pedestrian access in new developments.
4. Participate in an Ongoing Cooperative, Multi-Jurisdictional Planning Process.
Each jurisdiction shall participate in an ongoing process with other jurisdictions and agencies, the Regional Transportation
Planning Committees and the Authority to create a balanced, safe and efficient transportation system and to manage the
impacts of growth. Jurisdictions shall work with the Regional Transportation Planning Committees to:
a. Identify Routes of Regional Significance, and establish Multimodal Transportation Service Objectives or other
tools adopted by the Authority for measuring performance and quality of service along routes of significance,
collectively referred to as Multimodal Transportation Service Objectives for those routes and actions for
achieving those objectives.
b. Apply the Authority’s travel demand model and technical procedures to the analysis of General Plan
Amendments (GPAs) and developments exceeding specified thresholds for their effect on the regional
transportation system, including on Action Plan objectives.
c. Create the development mitigation programs outlined in section 2 above.
d. Help develop other plans, programs and studies to address other transportation and growth management issues.
In consultation with the Regional Transportation Planning Committees, each jurisdiction will use the travel demand model
1716
August 9, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Official Minutes 77
ccta.net f /Contra Costa Transportation Authority T @CCTA Y ccta.net/youtube
to evaluate changes to local General Plans and the impacts of major development projects for their effects on the local and
regional transportation system and the ability to achieve the Multimodal Transportation Service Objectives established in
the Action Plans.
Jurisdictions shall also participate in the Authority’s ongoing countywide comprehensive transportation planning process.
As part of this process, the Authority shall support countywide and subregional planning efforts, including the Action
Plans for Routes of Regional Significance, and shall maintain a travel demand model. Jurisdictions shall help maintain the
Authority’s travel demand modeling system by providing information on proposed improvements to the transportation
system and planned and approved development within the jurisdiction.
5. Continuously Comply with an Urban Limit Line (ULL)
In order to be found in compliance with this element of the Authority’s Growth Management Program, all jurisdictions
must continually comply with an applicable voter approved Urban Limit Line (ULL). Said ULL may either be the Contra
Costa County voter approved ULL (County ULL) or a locally initiated, voter approved ULL (LV- ULL).
Additional information and detailed compliance requirements for the ULL are fully defined in the ULL Compliance
Requirements, which are incorporated (see page 18).
Any of the following actions by a local jurisdiction will constitute non-compliance with the Growth Management Program:
1. The submittal of an annexation request to Local Agency Formation Commission ( LAFCO) for lands outside of a
jurisdiction’s applicable ULL.
2. Failure to conform to the Authority’s ULL Compliance Requirements (See page 18).
6. Develop a Five-Year Capital Improvement Program
Each jurisdiction shall prepare and maintain a capital improvement program that outlines the capital projects needed to
implement the goals and policies of the jurisdiction’s General Plan for at least the following five-year period. The Capital
Improvement Program shall include approved projects and an analysis of the costs of the proposed projects as well as a
financial plan for providing the improvements. The jurisdiction shall forward the transportation component of its capital
improvement program to the Authority for incorporation into the Authority’s database of transportation projects.
7. Adopt a Transportation Systems Management (TSM) Ordinance or Resolution
To promote carpools, vanpools and park and ride lots, each jurisdiction shall adopt a local ordinance or resolution that
conforms to the model Transportation Systems Management Ordinance that the Transportation Authority has drafted
and adopted. Upon approval of the Authority, cities with a small employment base may adopt alternative mitigation
measures in lieu of a TSM ordinance or resolution.
8. Adopt Additional Growth Management Policies, as applicable
Each jurisdiction shall adopt and thereafter continuously maintain the following policies (where applicable): a hillside
development policy, a ridgeline protection policy, a wildlife corridor policy and a creek development policy. Where a
jurisdiction does not have a developable hillside, ridgeline, wildlife corridor or creek, it need not adopt the corresponding
policy. An ordinance that implements the East Contra Costa HCP/NCCP shall satisfy the requirement to have an adopted
wildlife corridor policy and creek development policy. In addition to the above, jurisdictions with Prime Farmland and
Farmland of Statewide Importance (as defined by the California Dept. of Conservation and mapped by FMMP) within their
planning areas but outside of their city shall adopt and thereafter continuously maintain an Agricultural Protection Policy.
The policy must ensure that potential impacts of converting Prime Farmland and Farmland of Statewide Importance
outside the ULL to other uses are identified and disclosed when considering such a conversion. The applicable policies
are required to be in place by no later than April 1, 2019.

Allocation of Funds
Portions of the monies received from the retail transaction and use tax will be returned to the local jurisdictions (the cities
and the county) for use on local, subregional and/or regional transportation improvements and maintenance projects.
Receipt of all such funds requires compliance with the Growth Management Program and the allocation procedures
described below. The funds are to be distributed on a formula based on population and road miles.
Each jurisdiction shall demonstrate its compliance with all of the components of the Growth Management Program
in a completed compliance checklist. The jurisdiction shall submit, and the Authority shall review and make findings
regarding the jurisdiction’s compliance with the requirements of the Growth Management Program, consistent with the
Authority’s adopted policies and procedures.
If the Authority determines that the jurisdiction complies with the requirements of the Growth Management Program,
it shall allocate to the jurisdiction its share of 2016 Transforming Contra Costa County Expenditure Plan funding from
Local Streets Maintenance and Improvements funding and its share of Contra Costa’s Measure J Transportation Sales Tax
Expenditure Plan Local Streets Maintenance & Improvements funding. Jurisdictions may use funds allocated under this
provision to comply with these administrative requirements.
If the Authority determines that the jurisdiction does not comply with the requirements of the Growth Management Program,
the Authority shall withhold those funds and also make a finding that the jurisdiction shall not be eligible to receive 2016
Transforming Contra Costa County Expenditure Plan funding from Community Development Transportation Program funds
or Contra Costa’s Measure J Transportation Sales Tax Expenditure Plan Transportation for Livable Communities funds until the
Authority determines the jurisdiction has achieved compliance. The Authority’s findings of noncompliance may set deadlines
and conditions for achieving compliance.
Withholding of funds, reinstatement of compliance, reallocation of funds and treatment of unallocated funds shall be as
established in adopted Authority’s policies and procedures.
Urban Limit Line (ULL) Compliance Requirements

Revisions to the ULL
1. A local jurisdiction which has adopted the County ULL as its applicable ULL may revise its ULL with local voter
approval at any time during the term of the Authority’s GMP by adopting a LV-ULL in accordance with the
requirements outlined for a LV-ULL contained in the definitions section.
2. A local jurisdiction may revise its LV-ULL with local voter approval at any time during the term of the Authority’s
GMP if the resultant ULL meets the requirements outlined for a LV-ULL contained in the definitions section.
3. If voters, through a countywide ballot measure, approve a revision to the County ULL, the legislative body of
each local jurisdiction relying on the County ULL shall:
a. Accept and approve its existing ULL to continue as its applicable ULL, or
b. Accept and approve the revised County ULL as its applicable ULL, or
c. Adopt a LV-ULL in accordance with the requirements outlined for a LV-ULL contained in the definitions section.
4. Local jurisdictions may, without voter approval, enact Minor Adjustments to their applicable ULL subject to a
vote of at least 4/5 of the jurisdiction’s legislative body and meeting the following requirements:
a. Minor adjustment shall not exceed 30 acres.
b. Adoption of at least one of the findings listed in the County’s Measure L (§82-1.018 of County Ordinances

• A natural or man-made disaster or public emergency has occurred which warrants the provision of
housing and/or other community needs within land located outside the urban limit line.
• An objective study has determined that the urban limit line is preventing the jurisdiction from providing
its fair share of affordable housing, or regional housing, as required by state law, and the governing
elected legislative body finds that a change to the urban limit line is necessary and the only feasible
means to enable the county jurisdiction to meet these requirements of state law.
1918
August 9, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Official Minutes 80
ccta.net f /Contra Costa Transportation Authority T @CCTA Y ccta.net/youtube
• A majority of the cities that are party to a preservation agreement and the county have approved
a change to the urban limit line affecting all or any portion of the land covered by the preservation
agreement.
• A minor change to the urban limit line will more accurately reflect topographical characteristics or legal
boundaries.
• A five-year cyclical review of the urban limit line has determined, based on the criteria and factors
for establishing the urban limit line set forth in Contra Costa County Code (Section 82-1.010), that
new information is available (from city, town, or county growth management studies or otherwise) or
circumstances have changed, warranting a change to the urban limit line.
• An objective study has determined that a change to the urban limit line is necessary or desirable to
further the economic viability of the East Contra Costa County Airport, and either (i) mitigate adverse
aviation-related environmental or community impacts attributable to Buchanan Field, or (ii) further the
county’s aviation related needs; or
• A change is required to conform to applicable California or federal law.
c. Adoption of a finding that the proposed Minor Adjustment will have a public benefit. Said public benefit could
include, but is not necessarily limited to, enhanced mobility of people or goods, environmental protections
or enhancements, improved air quality or land use, enhanced public safety or security, housing or jobs,
infrastructure preservation or other significant positive community effects as defined by the local land use
authority. If the proposed Minor Adjustment to the ULL is proposed to accommodate housing or commercial
development, said proposal must include permanent environmental protections or enhancements such as the
permanent protection of agricultural lands, the dedication of open space or the establishment of permanent
conservation easements.
d. The Minor Adjustment is not contiguous to one or more non-voter approved Minor Adjustments that in total
exceed 30 acres.
e. The Minor Adjustment does not create a pocket of land outside the existing urban limit line, specifically to
avoid the possibility of a jurisdiction wanting to fill in those subsequently through separate adjustments.
f. Any jurisdiction proposing to process a minor adjustment to its applicable ULL that impacts Prime Farmland
and Farmland of Statewide Importance (as defined by the California Dept. of Conservation and mapped by
FMMP) is required to have an adopted Agricultural Protection Ordinance or must demonstrate how the loss of
these agricultural lands will be mitigated by permanently protecting farmland.
5. A local jurisdiction may revise its LV-ULL, and the County may revise the County ULL, to address issues of
unconstitutional takings or conformance to State or federal law.
Conditions of Compliance
1. Submittal of an annexation request of greater than 30 acres by a local jurisdiction to LAFCO outside of a voter-
approved ULL will constitute non-compliance with the GMP.
2. For each jurisdiction, an applicable ULL shall be in place through each GMP compliance reporting period in
order for the local jurisdiction to be found in compliance with the GMP requirements.

Complete Streets Policy
Vision
This Plan envisions a transportation system in which each component provides safe, comfortable and convenient access
for every user allowed to use it. These users include pedestrians, bicyclists, transit riders, automobile drivers and their
passengers, and truckers, and people of varying abilities, including children, seniors, people with disabilities and able-
bodied adults. The goal of every transportation project is to provide safer, more accessible facilities for all users and all
projects shall be planned, designed, constructed and operated to take advantage of that opportunity.
By making streets more efficient and safe for all users, a complete streets approach will expand capacity and improve
mobility for all users, giving commuters convenient options for travel and minimizing the need to widen roadways.
Policy
To achieve this vision, all recipients of funding through this Plan shall consider and accommodate, wherever possible and
subject to the Exceptions listed in this Policy, the needs of all users in the planning, design, construction, reconstruction,
rehabilitation and maintenance of the transportation system. This determination shall be consistent with the exceptions
listed below. Achieving this vision will require balancing the needs of different users, and may require reallocating
existing right of way for different uses.
The Authority shall revise its project development guidelines to require the consideration and accommodation of all
users in the design and construction of projects funded with Measure funds and shall adopt peer review and design
standards to implement that approach. The guidelines will allow flexibility in responding to the context of each project
and the needs of users specific to the project’s context, and will build on accepted best practices for complete streets
and context-sensitive design.
To ensure that this policy is carried out, the Authority shall prepare a checklist that sponsors of projects using Measure
funds must submit that documents how the needs of all users were considered and how they were accommodated in the
design and construction of the project. In the checklist, the sponsor will outline how they provided opportunity for public
input, in a public forum, from all users early in the project development and design process. If the proposed project or
program will not provide context appropriate conditions for all users, the sponsor shall document the reasons why in the
checklist, consistent with the following section on “exceptions” below. The completed checklist shall be made part of
the approval of programming of funding for the project or the funding allocation resolution.
Recipients of Local Maintenance and Improvements funds shall adopt procedures that ensure that all agency departments
consider and accommodate the needs of all users for projects or programs affecting public rights of way for which the
agency is responsible. These procedures shall:
1) be consistent with and be designed to implement each agency’s general plan policies once that plan has been
updated to comply with the Complete Streets Act of 2008,
2) involve and coordinate the work of all agency departments and staff whose projects will affect the public right of way,
3) consider the complete street design standards adopted by the Authority, and
4) provide opportunity for public review by all potential users early in the project development and design phase so
that options can be fully considered. This review could be done through an advisory committee such as a Bicycle
and Pedestrian Advisory Committee or as part of the review of the agency’s capital improvement program.
As part of their biennial Growth Management Program checklist, agencies shall list projects funded by the Measure and
detail how those projects accommodated users of all modes.
2120
August 9, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Official Minutes 82
ccta.net f /Contra Costa Transportation Authority T @CCTA Y ccta.net/youtube
As part of the multi-jurisdictional planning required by the Growth Management Program, agencies shall work with the
Authority and the Regional Transportation Planning Committees to harmonize the planning, design and construction
of transportation facilities for all modes within their jurisdiction with the plans of adjoining and connecting jurisdictions.
Exceptions
Project sponsors may provide a lesser accommodation or forgo complete street accommodation components when the
public works director or equivalent agency official finds that:
1. Pedestrians, bicyclists, or other users are prohibited by law from using the transportation facility,
2. The cost of new accommodation would be excessively disproportionate to the need or probable use, or
3. The sponsor demonstrates that, such accommodation is not needed, based on objective factors including:
a. current and projected user demand for all modes based on current and future land use, and
b. lack of identified conflicts, both existing and potential, between modes of travel.
Project sponsors shall explicitly approve exceptions findings as part of the approval of any project using measure funds
to improve streets classified as a major collector or above.1 Prior to this project sponsors must provide an opportunity
for public input at an approval body (that regularly considers design issues) and/or the governing board of the project
sponsor.
Advance Mitigation Program
The Authority is committed to participate in the creation and funding of an Advance Mitigation Program as an
innovative way to advance needed infrastructure projects more efficiently and provide more effective conservation
of our natural resources, watersheds and wetlands, and agricultural lands. As a global biodiversity hot spot, the Bay
Area and Contra Costa County hosts an extraordinarily rich array of valuable natural communities and ecosystems
that provide habitat for rare plants and wildlife, and support residents’ health and quality of life by providing clean
drinking water, clean air, opportunities for outdoor recreation, protection from disasters like flooding, landslides, and
adaptation to climate change. The Advance Mitigation Program aims to integrate conservation into infrastructure
agencies’ plans and project development well in advance and on a regional scale to reduce potential impacts of
transportation projects, as well as to drive mitigation dollars to protect regional conservation priorities and protect
important ecological functions, watersheds and wetlands, and agricultural lands that are at threat of loss. The
Advance Mitigation Program will provide environmental mitigation activities specifically required under the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), Clean Water Act Section 401 and
Section 404, and other applicable regulations in the implementation of the major highway, transit and regional arterial
and local streets and roads projects identified in the Plan.
The Authority’s participation in an Advance Mitigation Program is subject to the following conditions:
1. Development of a Regional Conservation Assessment/Framework that identifies conservation priorities and
mitigation opportunities for all of Contra Costa County. The Regional Conservation Assessment/Framework
will include countywide opportunities and strategies that are, among other requirements, consistent with

and support the East Contra Costa County Habitat Conservation Plan/Natural Community Conservation Plan
(East Contra Costa HCP/NCCP) for the areas of the county covered by the East Contra Costa HCP/NCCP. The
Regional Conservation Assessment/Framework will identify mitigation opportunities for all areas of the county to
ensure that mitigation occurs in the vicinity of the project impact to the greatest extent possible. The Authority
will review and approve the Regional Conservation Assessment/Framework, in consultation with the RTPCs,
prior to the allocation of funds for Advance Mitigation Program.
2. Development of a Project Impacts Assessment that identifies the portfolio of projects to be included in the
Advance Mitigation Program and the estimated costs for mitigation of the environmental impacts of the
projects. The Authority will review and approve the Project Impacts Assessment prior to the allocation of funds
for the Advance Mitigation Program. The Assessment and estimated costs do not in any way limit the amount of
mitigation that may be necessary or undertaken for the environmental impacts of the projects.
3. Development of the legislative and regulatory framework necessary to implement an Advance Mitigation
Program in Contra Costa County.
4. The identification of the Implementing Agency to administer the Advance Mitigation Program for Contra Costa
County or portions of the Bay Area Including Contra Costa County.
The Authority will determine the amount of funds to be dedicated to this Program following the satisfaction of the above
conditions. Funds from the Plan will be allocated consistent with the Regional Conservation Assessment/Framework to
fund environmental mitigation activities required in the implementation of the major highway, transit and regional arterial
and local streets and roads projects identified in the Plan. If this approach cannot be fully implemented, these funds shall
be used for environmental mitigation purposes on a project by project basis. Mitigation required for future transportation
improvements identified in the Plan are not limited by the availability of funding or mitigation credits available in the
Program.
Projects funded from the following categories of Expenditures are eligible for inclusion in the Advance Mitigation
Program:
• Major Streets, Complete Streets and Traffic Synchronization Project Grants
• East Contra Costa Transit Extension
• High Capacity Transit Improvements along the I-80 Corridor in West Contra Costa County

Authority Board for implementing the expenditure plan. The report will be noticed in local media outlets throughout
Contra Costa County, posted to the Authority Website and made continuously available for public inspection at Authority
offices. The report shall be composed of easy to understand language not in an overly technical format. The Committee
shall make an annual presentation to the Authority Board summarizing the annual report subsequent to its release.
Committee members shall be selected to reflect community, business organizations and other interests within the
County. The goal of the membership makeup of the Public Oversight Committee is to provide a balance of viewpoints
including but not limited to geography, age, gender, ethnicity and income status to represent the different perspectives
of the residents of Contra Costa County. One member will be nominated by each of the four subregions with the RTPC
representing the subregion nominating the member. The Board of Supervisors will nominate four members, with each of
these four members residing in and representing one of the county’s four subregions. Eight members will be nominated
by each respective organization detailed here, with each having one representative: League of Women’s Voters, Contra
Costa Taxpayers Association, East Bay Leadership Council, Building and Construction Trades Council, Central Labor
Council, Paratransit Coordinating Council, Bike East Bay, and environmental and/or open space organizations operating
in Contra Costa County (specific organization may vary during the life of the measure). About one half of the initial
member appointments will be for two years and the remaining appointments will be for three year terms. Thereafter,
members will be appointed to two year terms. Any individual member can serve on the Committee for no more than 6
consecutive years.
Committee members will be Contra Costa County residents who are not elected officials at any level of government
or public employees from agencies that either oversee or benefit from the proceeds of the Measure. Membership
is restricted to individuals with no economic interest in any of Authority’s projects or programs. If a member’s status
changes so that he/she no longer meet these requirements, or if a member resigns his/her position on the Committee,
the Authority Board will issue a new statement of interest from the same stakeholder category to fill the vacant position.
The Committee shall meet up to once a month to carry out its responsibility, and shall meet at least once every 3 months.
Meetings shall be held at the same location as the Authority Board meetings are usually held, shall be open to the public
and must be held in compliance with California’s open meeting law (Brown Act). Meetings shall be recorded and the
recordings shall be posted for the public.
Members are expected to attend all meetings. If a member, without good reason acceptable to the Chair of the
Committee, fails to attend either (a) two or more consecutive meetings or (b) more than 3 meetings a year, the Authority
Board will request a replacement from the stakeholder categories listed above.
The Authority commits to support the oversight process through cooperation with the Committee by providing access
to project and program information, audits, and other information available to the Authority, and with logistical support
so that the Committee may effectively perform its oversight function. The Committee will have full access to Authority’s
independent auditors, and may request Authority staff briefings for any information that is relevant to the Measure. The
Committee Chair shall inform the Authority Board Chair and Executive Director of any concern regarding Authority staff’s
commitment to open communication, the timely sharing of information, and teamwork.
The Committee shall not have the authority to set policy or appropriate or withhold funds, nor shall it participate in or
interfere with the selection process of any consultant or contractor hired to implement the expenditure plan.
The Committee shall not receive monetary compensation except for the reimbursement of travel or other incidental
expenses, in a manner consistent with other Authority advisory committees
In order to ensure that the oversight by the Committee continues to be as effective as possible, the efficacy of the
Committee’s Charter (i.e. this document) will be evaluated on a periodic basis and a formal review will be conducted by the
Authority Board, Executive Director and the Committee a minimum of every five years to determine if any amendments
2524
August 9, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Official Minutes 86

to this Charter should be made. The formal review will include a benchmarking of the Committee’s activities and charter
with other best-in-class oversight committees. Amendments to this Charter shall be proposed by the Committee and
adopted or rejected by the Authority Board.
The Committee replaces the Authority’s existing Citizens Advisory Committee.
Advisory Committees
The Authority will continue the committees that were established as part of the Transportation Partnership Commission
organization as well as other committees that have been utilized by the Authority to advise and assist in policy development
and implementation. The committees include:
The Regional Transportation Planning Committees that were established to develop transportation plans on a geographic
basis for sub-areas of the County, and
• The Technical Coordinating Committee that will serve as the Authority’s technical advisory committee.
• The Paratransit Coordinating Council
• The Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee
• Bus Transit Coordinating Committee
Implementing Guidelines
This Transportation Expenditure Plan (Plan) is guided by principles that ensure the revenue generated by the sales tax
is spent only for the purposes outlined in this Plan in the most efficient and effective manner possible, consistent with
serving the transportation needs of Contra Costa County. The following Implementing Guidelines shall govern the
administration of sales tax revenues by the Authority. Additional detail for certain Implementing Guidelines is found
elsewhere in this Plan.
Duration of the Plan
The duration of the Plan shall be for 30 years from April 1, 2017 through March 31, 2047.
Administration of the Plan
1. Funds only Projects and Programs in the Plan: Funds collected under this Measure may only be spent for
purposes identified in the Plan, as it may be amended by the Authority governing body. Identification of
Projects or Programs in the Plan does not ensure their implementation. As authorized, the Authority may amend
or delete Projects and Programs identified in the Plan, including to provide for the use of additional federal,
state and local funds, to account for unexpected revenue, to maintain consistency with the current Contra
Costa Countywide Transportation Plan, to take into consideration unforeseen circumstances, and to account for
impacts, alternatives, and potential mitigation determined during review under the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) at such time as each Project and Program is proposed for approval.
2. All Decisions Made in Public Process: The Authority is given the fiduciary duty of administering the
transportation sales tax proceeds in accordance with all applicable laws and with the Plan. Activities of the
Authority will be conducted in public according to state law, through publically noticed meetings. The annual
budgets of Authority, strategic plans and annual reports will all be prepared for public review. The interest of the
public will be further protected by a Public Oversight Committee, described previously in the Plan.
2726
August 9, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Official Minutes 87
ccta.net f /Contra Costa Transportation Authority T @CCTA Y ccta.net/youtube
3. Salary and Administration Cost Caps: Revenues may be expended by the Authority for salaries, wages,
benefits, overhead and those services including contractual services necessary to administer the Measure;
however, in no case shall the expenditures for the salaries and benefits of the staff necessary to perform
administrative functions for the Authority exceed one half percent (0.5%) of revenues from the Measure. The
allocated costs of Authority staff who directly implement specific projects or programs are not included in the
administrative costs.
4. Expenditure Plan Amendments Require Majority Support: The Authority may review and propose
amendments to the Expenditure Plan and the Growth Management Program to provide for the use of additional
federal, state and local funds, to account for unexpected revenues, or to take into consideration unforeseen
circumstances. Affected Regional Transportation Planning Committee(s) will participate in the development of
the proposed amendment(s). A majority of the Authority Board is required to approve an amendment and all
jurisdictions within the county will be given a 45 day period to comment on any proposed Expenditure Plan
amendment.
5. Augment Transportation Funds: Funds generated pursuant to the Measure are to be used to supplement and
not replace existing local revenues used for transportation purposes. Any funds already allocated, committed
or otherwise included in the financial plan for any project in the Plan shall be made available for project
development and implementation as required in the project’s financial and implementation program.
6. Jurisdiction: The Authority retains sole discretion regarding interpretation, construction, and meaning of words
and phrases in the Transportation Expenditure Plan.
Taxpayer Safeguards, Audits and Accountability
7. Public Oversight Committee: The Public Oversight Committee will provide diligent, independent and public
oversight of all expenditures of Measure funds by Authority or recipient agencies (County, cities and towns,
transit operators, etc). The Committee will report to the public and focus its oversight on annual audits, the
review and allocation of Measure funds, the performance of projects and programs in the Plan, and compliance
by local jurisdictions with the maintenance of effort and Growth Management Program described previously in
the Plan
8. Fiscal Audits: All Funds expended by Authority directly and all funds allocated by formula or discretionary
grants to other entities are subject to fiscal audit. Recipients of Local Streets Maintenance & Improvements,
Bus Transit and Other Non-Rail Transit Enhancements, or Transportation for Seniors & People With Disabilities
programs funding (including but not limited to County, cities and towns and transit operators) will be audited at
least once every five (5) years, conducted by an independent CPA. Any agency found to be in non-compliance
shall have its formula sales tax funds withheld, until such time as the agency is found to be in compliance.
9. Performance Audits: The following funding categories shall be subject to performance audits by the Authority:
Local Streets Maintenance and Improvements, Major Streets/Complete Streets/Traffic Signal Synchronization
Program, Bus Transit and Other Non-Rail Transit Enhancements, Transportation for Seniors and People with
Disabilities, Safe Transportation for Children, Intercity Rail and Ferry Service, Pedestrian, Bicycle, and Trail
Facilities, Community Development Transportation Program, and Innovative Transportation Technology/
Connected Communities Program. Each year, the Authority shall select and perform a focused performance
audit on two or three of the funding categories listed above, so that at the end of the fourth year all funding
categories listed above are audited. This process shall commence two years after passage of the new sales
tax measure. Additional Performance Audits shall continue on a similar cycle for the duration of the Plan. The
performance audits shall provide an accurate quantitative and qualitative evaluation of the funding categories
to determine the effectiveness in meeting the performance criteria established by the Authority. In the event
that any performance audit determines that a funding category is not meeting the performance requirements
2726
August 9, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Official Minutes 88
ccta.net f /Contra Costa Transportation Authority T @CCTA Y ccta.net/youtube
established by the Authority, the audit shall include recommendations for corrective action including but not
limited to revisions to Authority policies or program guidelines that govern the expenditure of funds.
10. Maintenance of Effort (MOE): Funds generated by the new sales tax Measure are to be used to supplement and
not replace existing local revenues used for streets and highways purposes. The basis of the MOE requirement will
be the average of expenditures of annual discretionary funds on streets and highways, as reported to the Controller
pursuant to Streets and Highways Code Section 2151 for the three most recent fiscal years before the passage of
the Measure where data is available. The average dollar amount will then be increased once every three years by the
construction cost index of that third year. Penalty for non-compliance of meeting the minimum MOE is immediate
loss of all Local Streets Maintenance and Improvements funds until MOE compliance is achieved. The audit of the
MOE contribution shall be at least once every five years. Any agency found to be in non-compliance shall be subject
to annual audit for three years after they come back into compliance.
Any local jurisdiction wishing to adjust its maintenance of effort requirement shall submit to the Authority
a request for adjustment and the necessary documentation to justify the adjustment. The Authority staff
shall review the request and shall make a recommendation to the Authority. Taking into consideration the
recommendation, the Authority may adjust the annual average of expenditures reported pursuant to Streets and
Highways Code Section 2151. The Authority shall make an adjustment if one or more of the following conditions
exists:
1. The local jurisdiction has undertaken one or more major capital projects during those fiscal years, that
required accumulating unrestricted revenues (i.e., revenues that are not restricted for use on streets and
highways such as general funds) to support the project during one or more fiscal years.
2. A source of unrestricted revenue used to support the major capital project or projects is no longer available to
the local jurisdiction and the local jurisdiction lacks authority to continue the unrestricted funding source.
3. One or more sources of unrestricted revenues that were available to the local jurisdiction is producing
less than 95 percent of the amount produced in those fiscal years, and the reduction is not caused by any
discretionary action of the local jurisdiction.
4. The local jurisdiction Pavement Condition Index (PCI) is 70 or greater, as calculated by the jurisdiction
Pavement Management System and reported to the Metropolitan Transportation Commission.
11. Annual Budget and Strategic Plan: Each year, the Authority will adopt an annual budget that estimates
expected sales tax receipts, other anticipated revenue and planned expenditures for the year. On a periodic
basis, the Authority will also prepare a Strategic Plan which will identify the priority for projects; the date for
project implementation based on project readiness and availability of project funding; the state, federal and
other local funding committed for project implementation, and other relevant criteria. The annual budget and
Strategic Plan will be adopted by the Authority Board at a public meeting.
12. Requirements for Fund Recipients: All recipients of funds allocated in this expenditure plan will be required to
sign a Master Cooperative Agreement that defines reporting and accountability elements and as well as other
applicable policy requirements. All funds will be appropriated through an open and transparent public process.
13. Geographic Equity: The proposed projects and programs to be funded through the Plan constitute a
“balanced” distribution of funding allocations to each subregion in Contra Costa County. However, through
the course of the Measure, if any of the projects prove to be infeasible or cannot be implemented, the affected
subregion may request that the Authority reassign funds to another project in the same subregion, as detailed
in an Authority Fund Allocations policy, and to maintain a “balanced” distribution of funding allocations to each
subregion.

Restrictions On Funds
14. Expenditure Shall Benefit Contra Costa County: Under no circumstance may the proceeds of this
transportation sales tax be applied for any purpose other than for transportation improvements benefitting
residents of Contra Costa County. Under no circumstance may these funds be appropriated by the State of
California or any other local government agency as defined in the implementing guidelines.
15. Environmental Review: All projects funded by sales tax proceeds are subject to laws and regulations of federal,
state, and local government, including the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
Prior to approval or commencement of any project or program included in the Plan, all necessary environmental
review required by CEQA shall be completed.
16. Performance-based Project Review: Before the allocation of any measure funds for the construction of a
project with an estimated capital cost in excess of $25 million (or elements of a corridor project with an overall
estimated cost in excess of $25 million), the Authority will: 1) verify that the project is consistent with the
approved Countywide Transportation Plan (CTP), as it may be amended, 2) verify that the project is included
in the Regional Transportation Plan / Sustainable Communities Strategy, and 3) require the project sponsor to
complete a performance based review of project alternatives prior to the selection of a preferred alternative.
Said performance based review will include, but not necessarily be limited to, an analysis of the project impacts
on greenhouse gas emissions, vehicle miles travelled, goods movement effectiveness, travel mode share, delay
(by mode), safety, maintenance of the transportation system and consistency with adopted Authority plans.
The Authority may require the evaluation of other performance criteria depending on the specific need and
purpose of the project. When appropriate, the Authority will encourage project sponsors to identify and select
a project alternative that reduces greenhouse gas emissions as well as vehicle miles travelled per capita. The
Authority will also prioritize and reward high performing projects by leveraging additional regional and other
funding sources. The Authority shall adopt detailed guidelines for evaluating project performance and applying
performance criteria in the review and selection of a preferred project alternative no later than October 1, 2018.
17. Countywide Transportation Plan: State law allows each county in the San Francisco Bay Area that is subject
to the jurisdiction of the regional transportation planning agency to prepare a Countywide Transportation Plan
(CTP) for the county and cities within the county. Both Measure C and Measure J also require the Authority to
prepare and periodically update a CTP for Contra Costa. State law also created an inter-dependent relationship
between the CTP and regional planning agency. Each CTP must consider the region’s most recently adopted
Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) and Sustainable Communities Strategy (SCS) while the adopted CTPs must
form the “primary basis” for the next RTP and SCS. The Authority shall follow applicable statutes and the most
current guidelines for preparing the CTP, as established and periodically updated by the regional transportation
planning agency. The Authority shall also use the CTP to convey the Authority’s investment priorities, consistent
with the long-range vision of the RTP and SCS.
18. Complete Streets: The Authority has adopted a policy requiring all recipients of funding through this Plan to
consider and accommodate, wherever possible, the needs of all users in the planning, design, construction,
reconstruction, rehabilitation and maintenance of the transportation system. Achieving this vision will require
balancing the needs of different users, and may require reallocating existing right of way for different uses.
19. Compliance with the Growth Management Program: If the Authority determines that a jurisdiction does not
comply with the requirements of the Growth Management Program, the Authority shall withhold funds and also
make a finding that the jurisdiction shall not be eligible to receive Local Streets Maintenance & Improvements or
Community Development Transportation Program (CDTP) funding until the Authority determines the jurisdiction
has achieved compliance, as detailed in the Growth Management Program section of the Plan.
2928
August 9, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Official Minutes 90
ccta.net f /Contra Costa Transportation Authority T @CCTA Y ccta.net/youtube
20. Local Contracting and Good Jobs: Authority will develop a policy supporting the hiring of local contractors and
businesses, including policy requiring prevailing wages, apprenticeship programs for Contra Costa residents,
and veteran hiring policy (such as the Helmets to Hardhats program) to the extent permitted by law. The
Authority, will adopt the aforementioned policy for projects and programs funded by the measure no later than
April 1, 2018.
21. New Agencies: New cities or new entities (such as new transit agencies) that come into existence in Contra
Costa County during the life of the Plan may be considered as eligible recipients of funds through a Plan
amendment.
22. Countywide Transit Plan: The Authority will develop a countywide transit plan identifying services and
projects to be funded with this Measure. The plan will be inclusive of services and projects in adopted plans of
existing transit operators which have gone through a public review process prior to adoption. The plan will be
periodically reviewed and updated. Funding will be allocated by the Authority throughout the County based
on input from each Regional Transportation Planning Committee and on performance criteria established
by the Authority in consultation with local and regional bus transit operators, providers of alternate non-rail
transportation, and stakeholders. Said performance criteria will include a review of impact on Vehicle Miles
Traveled (VMT) and Green-house Gas (GHG) and shall require a finding that any proposed new or enhanced
services demonstrate the ability to improve regional and/or local mobility for Contra Costa residents.
Project Financing Guidelines and Managing Revenue
23. Fiduciary Duty: Funds may be accumulated for larger or longer term projects. Interest income generated will be
used for the purposes outlined in the Plan and will be subject to audits.
24. Project and Program Financing: The Authority has the authority to bond for the purposes of expediting the
delivery of transportation projects and programs. The Authority will develop a policy to identify financing
procedures for the entire plan of projects and programs.
25. Programming of Variations from the Expected Revenue: Actual revenues may, at times be higher or lower
than expected in this Plan due to changes in receipts. Additional funds may become available due to the
increased opportunities for leveraging or project costs being less than expected. Revenue may be lower than
expected as the economy fluctuates. Determination of when the contingency funds become excess will be
established by a policy defined by the Authority. Funds considered excess will be prioritized first to expenditure
plan projects and programs, and second to other projects of regional significance that are consistent with the
expenditure plan. The new project or program will be required to be amended into the expenditure plan.
26. Fund Allocations: Through the course of the Measure, if any of the projects do not require all funds
programmed for that project or have excess funding, or should a planned project become undeliverable,
infeasible or unfundable due to circumstances unforeseen at the time the expenditure plan was created, funding
for that project will be reallocated to another project or program. The subregion where the project or program is
located may request that the Authority reassign funds to another project in the same subregion. In the allocation
of the released funds, the Authority in consultation with the subregion RTPC will in priority order consider: 1)
a project or program of the same travel mode (i.e. transit, bicycle/pedestrian, or road) in the same subregion,
2) a project or program for other modes of travel in the same subregion, 3) other expenditure plan projects or
programs, and 4) other projects or programs of regional significance. The new project or program or funding
level may be required to be amended into the expenditure plan.
27. Leveraging Funds: Leveraging or matching of outside funding sources is strongly encouraged. Any additional
transportation sales tax revenues made available through their replacement by matching funds will be spent
based on the principles outlined for fund allocations described above.

2016-17,will have a significant effect on the environment, and it is therefore exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA
Guidelines Section 21080(b)(1); 15268, for the following reasons: 1) The Board’s decision to adopt Ordinance 2016-17
involved only the use of fixed standards and objective measurements, 2) the Authority’s request met the requirements of
state law, 3) The Authority found the project exempt from environmental review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section
15378(b)(4), 4) the Board and all nineteen cities and towns have approved the project, 5) the Board’s decision is ministerial
pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15268(a) and Public Resources Code Section 21080(b)(1).

August 9, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Official Minutes 102
Section 13. ANNUAL APPROPRIATIONS LIMIT. Article Xlll(B) of the California Constitution
requires the establishment of an annual appropriations limit for certain governmental entities.
The Authority for fiscal year 2016-2017 has been established as $126,192,353. The
appropriations limit shall be subject to adjustment as provided by law. All expenditures of the
tax revenues imposed in this Ordinance are subject to the appropriations limit ofthe Authority.
Section 14. USE OF PROCEEDS. The proceeds of the transaction and use tax imposed by
this ordinance shall be used solely for the projects and purposes set forth in the 2016
Transportation Expenditure Plan, as it may be amended from time to time, and for the

Section 15. AMENDMENTS. All amendments subsequent to the effective date of this
ordinance to Part 1 of Division 2 of the Revenue and Taxation Code relating to sales and use
taxes and which are not inconsistent with Part 1.6 and Part 1.7 of Division 2 ofthe Revenue and

Section 16. ENJOINING COLLECTION FORBIDDEN . No injunction or writ of mandate or

Code, of any tax or any amount oftax required to be collected.
Section 17. COMPLIANCE WITH CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (11 CEQA").The
Authority finds that the approval of this Ordinance is not a "project" and, alternatively, is
exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"). The ordinance is intended to
provide a funding mechanism for future projects and programs related to the Authority's
provision of transportation services. The ordinance does not commit the Authority to any
particular project, program, or capital improvement. Accordingly, the Authority hereby finds
that, under State CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(4), adoption of this ordinance is not a
project subject to the requirements of CEQA because the ordinance is merely "[t]he creation of
[a] government funding mechanism[) or other fiscal activity which do[es] not involve any
commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact
on the environment." (Cal. Code Regs., tit. 14, § 15378, subd. (b)(4); see also Sustainable
Transportation Advocates of Santa Barbara v. Santa Barbaro County Association of
Governments 179 Cai.App.4th 113, 123.) Further, because the ordinance does not authorize the
construction of any projects that may result in any direct or indirect physical change in the
environment and is subject to further discretionary approvals, including the pre-conditions
found in Public Utilities Code section 180206(bL approving the ordinance is not an approval
that "commits the agency to a definite course of action." (State CEQA Guidelines section
7
August 9, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Official Minutes 103
15352.) The timing, design, and approval of individual projects to be funded by the ordinance
are dependent on funding availability, need, and CEOA review. Thus, the ordinance has no
potential for causing a significant effect on the environment and is exempt from further review
under CEQA. (State CEOA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3).)
Section 18. REQUEST FOR ELECTION. The Authority hereby requests the Contra Costa
County Board of Supervisors to place this ordinance before the voters for approval on the
November 8, 2016 ballot. The proposition to be placed on the ballot shall read substantially as
follows:
To implement a Transportation Expenditure Plan to continue:
• Repairing potholes/fixing roads;
• Improving BART capacity/reliability;
• Improving Highways 680, 80, 24, and 4;
• Enhancing bus/transit including for seniors and people with disabilities;
• Increasing bicycle/pedestrian safety;
• Improving air quality;
• Reducing traffic;
shall voters adopt the ordinance augmenting the sales tax by Yl%, raising ninety-seven million
dollars for transportation improvements annually for 30 years with independent oversight,
audits, and all money benefitting local residents?
Section 19. SEVERABILITY . If any provision ofthis ordinance or the application thereof
to any person or circumstance is held invalid, the remainder of the ordinance and the
application of such provision to other persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby.
Section 20. EFFECTIVE DATE . This ordinance relates to the levying and collecting of the
District transactions and use taxes and shall take effect immediately or as soon thereafter as
the tax may be lawfully imposed.
Section 21. TERMINATION DATE.
ordinance shall expire on March 31, 2047 .

August 9, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Official Minutes 106
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
> The Project will improve this segment of Balfour Road by providing standard travel lanes and shoulder widths
that meet current County design standards. This segment of roadway will be widened from the current
18-to-20-foot width, to a 36-foot width. This widening will provide a 12-foot-wide travel lane, a six-foot-wide
shoulder, and a two-foot-wide shoulder backing in each direction of travel on this segment of Balfour Road. The
widened shoulders will provide a driver recovery area and a bike lane in each direction of travel on this segment
of roadway. In addition, left-turn pockets will be added on the east and west segments of Balfour Road at the
intersection of Balfour Road and Byron Highway. A left-turn pocket will be added on the western segment of
Balfour Road at the intersection of Balfour Road and Bixler Road.
On December 15, 2015, this Board APPROVED the Project and ADOPTED the California Environmental
Quality Act Mitigated Negative Declaration and the Mitigated Monitoring and Reporting Plan pertaining to the
Project. A CEQA Notice of Determination was filed with the County Clerk on December 17, 2015.
To complete the Project, the County must acquire various property interests from eleven (11) parcels within the
Project area. The County must acquire fee title to ten (10) parcels (all partial acquisitions) and three (3) temporary
construction easements.
This resolution establishes the necessity of acquiring some of the property interests required for the Project.
Specifically, this resolution establishes the necessity of acquiring seven (7) fee parcels and two (2) temporary
construction easements in seven (7) properties, as more particularly described in Appendix “A” to the Resolution
of Necessity. These property interests are required for the Project, including pre-construction utility work
scheduled to begin in January 2017.
The County, through the Real Estate Division of the Public Works Department, has made an offer of just
compensation to the owner or owners of the property for the property interests being acquired. Each offer was
based on an appraisal of the fair market value of said property interest or interests being acquired. Negotiations to
acquire the property interests identified in Appendix “A” have not been successful.
With respect to the property identified as Assessor’s Parcel Number 011-010-009 and the property identified as
Assessor’s Parcel Number 015-050-006, both of which are subject to land conservation contracts and are
described in Appendix “A” to the Resolution of Necessity, pursuant to Government Code Section 51291, the
County, through the Environmental Services Division of the Public Works Department, provided Notice of Public
Acquisition of Williamson Act Lands to the California Department of Conservation, Division of Land Resource
Protection.
Construction of the overall project is scheduled to begin in the spring of 2017. In order to proceed with the
Project, it is necessary for the County to exercise its power of eminent domain to acquire the property interests
described herein.
Pursuant to Section 1245.235 of the Code of Civil Procedure, notice was given to all persons listed on the attached
Exhibit “A” whose names and addresses appear on the last equalized County Assessment Roll. This notice
consisted of sending by first-class and certified mail on July 14, 2016 a Notice of Intention which notified these
owners that a hearing is scheduled for August 2, 2016 at 9:30 a.m. in the Board's Chambers, at which time they
may appear to be heard on the matters referred to in the notice.
B. Scope of Hearing Per C.C.P. Section 1245.235
1. The public interest and necessity require the proposed Project.
This segment of Balfour Road between Sellers Avenue and Bixler Road is a narrow, approximately 3-mile long,
two-lane road that receives substantial traffic and is used as a thoroughfare between Brentwood and Discovery
Bay as well as a commuter route to State Route 4. The project includes installing left turn pockets on the east and
west legs of Balfour Road at Byron Highway and a left turn pocket on the west leg of Balfour Road at Bixler
August 9, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Official Minutes 107
Road. A drainage system consisting of an open roadside ditch and underground pipe along the south side of
Balfour Road will be installed to collect and convey roadside runoff. The Project is intended to improve this
segment of roadway to meet current design standards. The project will improve traffic movement and the safety of
persons who travel on this segment of roadway.
2. The Project is planned and located in the manner that will be most compatible with the greatest public good and
the least private injury.
The Project location and design are more particularly described in the CEQA Mitigated Negative Declaration that
was adopted for this Project. The Project design plan will bring the shoulders up to current design standards and
provide a driver recovery area and a bike lane. The project does not increase the number of travel lanes and will
therefore not increase the capacity of the roadway. The majority of the roadway widening will occur along the
south side of this segment of Balfour Road. The Project alignment was selected to avoid substantial impacts to
East Contra Costa Irrigation District irrigation pipelines and related facilities located on the north side of this
segment of Balfour Road.
3. The properties sought to be acquired are necessary for the Project.
The property interests sought for this Project are necessary for the widening
of Balfour Road between Sellers Avenue and Bixler Road, as planned. All efforts have been made to reduce
physical and operational impacts to adjacent properties both during and after construction. The Project cannot be
constructed as planned without the acquisition of these property interests.
4. The offer of compensation required by Section 7267.2 of the Government Code has been made to the owner or
owners of record.
The County, through the Real Estate Division of the Public Works Department, has made an offer of just
compensation to each owner of record for the rights required for this Project, in accordance with Government
Code section 7267.2. Each offer was based on an appraisal of the fair market value of the property rights being
acquired. In each case, efforts were made to acquire each required property or property right through negotiated
purchase and sale instead of condemnation. Attempts to negotiate a settlement involved calls made to the property
owners which were not successful, requiring the County to proceed with the adoption of this Resolution of
Necessity.
C. Williamson Act Findings.
A portion of the property identified as Assessor’s Parcel Number 011-010-009, located in Parcels 1, 2 and 3, and
a portion of the property identified as Assessor’s Parcel Number 015-050-006, located in Parcel 9, are located in
agricultural preserves established pursuant to the Williamson Act (Act). The County seeks to obtain fee title to
Parcels 1 and 2, and temporary construction easements to use Parcels 3 and 9. With respect to the Parcels of
which the County seeks to obtain fee title, the Act requires the Board to make two findings.
1. Cost was not a factor in the County’s consideration of acquiring a portion of the property identified as
Assessor’s Parcel Number 011-010-009. (Gov. Code § 51292(a).) The location of the property considered for
acquisition is based solely on the goal of improving the road shoulders and providing a driver recovery area, so
this segment of Balfour Road is consistent with current design standards.
2. There is no other land within or outside the subject agricultural preserve upon which it is reasonably feasible to
locate the public improvement. (Gov. Code § 51292(b).) This segment of Balfour Road is narrow due to the
absence of shoulders and is based on outdated design standards. This segment of Balfour Road requires upgrades
to the shoulders to current design standards and to provide a safe driver recovery area. Given the existing location
of Balfour Road, there is no other location for the Project, either within or outside of the subject agricultural
preserve upon which it is reasonably feasible to locate this portion of the Project.
Pursuant to Government Code Section 51291, the County provided notice to the California Department of
August 9, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Official Minutes 108
Conservation, Division of Land Resource Protection regarding its intent to acquire a portion of the properties
identified as Assessor’s Parcel Number 011-010-009 and Assessor’s Parcel Number 015-050-006, which are
located in agricultural preserves under the Williamson Act.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The County will be unable to acquire the property interests necessary for the Project.
CLERK'S ADDENDUM
CLOSED the public hearing; MADE the findings and determinations listed under Section B of the Board
Order; and ADOPTED Resolution of Necessity No. 2016/467 to acquire the required property by eminent
domain.

Resolution No. 2016/505
The Board of Supervisors of Contra Costa County, California, by vote of four-fifths or more of its members, RESOLVES that:
Pursuant to Government Code Section 25350.5 and Streets & Highways Code Section 943, Contra Costa County (County)
intends to construct the Balfour Road Shoulder Widening Project (Project), in the Brentwood area of east Contra Costa County.
The Project is a public improvement to Balfour Road, a county road, between Sellers Avenue in the City of Brentwood and
Bixler Road in the Town of Discovery Bay, in eastern Contra Costa County. The Project will include widening this
approximately three-mile-long segment of Balfour Road from its existing 18- to 20-foot pavement width, to a new pavement
width of 36 feet. The Project will add a 12-foot-wide travel lane, a 6-foot wide paved shoulder/bike lane, and a 2-foot wide
shoulder backing in each direction of travel on this segment of roadway. Left turn pockets will be added on the east and west
segments of Balfour Road at its intersection with Byron Highway, and a left turn pocket will be added on the western segment of
Balfour Road at its intersection with Bixler Road. A drainage system consisting of an open roadside ditch and underground pipe
along the south side of the road will be installed to collect and convey roadside runoff. In connection with the Project, the County
must acquire interests in certain real property. The property interests to be acquired consist of seven (7) separate parcels that are
generally located in the Brentwood area. The property interests are more particularly described in Appendix "A", attached hereto
and incorporated herein by this reference.
On July 14, 2016, notice of the County's intention to adopt a resolution of necessity for acquisition by eminent domain of the real
property described in Appendix "A" was sent to persons whose names appear on the last equalized County Assessment Roll as
owners of said property. The notice specified August 2, 2016, at 9:30 a.m., in the Board of Supervisors Chambers in the
Administration Building, 651 Pine Street, Martinez, California, as the date, time, and place for the hearing thereon.
The hearing was held on that date and at that time and place, and all interested parties were given an opportunity to be heard.
Based upon the evidence presented to it, this Board finds, determines, and hereby declares the following:
1. The public interest and necessity require the proposed Project; and
2. The proposed Project is planned or located in the manner that will be most compatible with the greatest public good and
the least private injury; and
3. The property described herein is necessary for the proposed Project; and
4. The offer required by Section 7267.2 of the Government Code was made to the owner or owners of record.
5. Insofar as any of the property described in this resolution has heretofore been dedicated to a public use, the acquisition
and use of such property by Contra Costa County for the purposes identified herein is for a more necessary public use than
the use to which the property has already been appropriated, or is for a compatible public use. This determination and
finding is made and this resolution is adopted pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Sections 1240.510 and 1240.610.
6. The location of the Project, and the location of Assessor’s Parcel Number 011-010-009 within the Project, is not based

6. The location of the Project, and the location of Assessor’s Parcel Number 011-010-009 within the Project, is not based
on a consideration of the lower cost of acquiring land in an agricultural preserve. This finding is made pursuant to
Government Code Section 51292(a). 7. With respect to the property identified as Assessor’s Parcel Number 011-010-009,
there is no other land either within or outside the subject agricultural preserve upon which it is reasonably feasible to locate
that portion of the Project which will lie within the preserve. This finding is made pursuant to Government Code Section
51292(b).

RECOMMENDATION(S):
CONSIDER adopting a position on Proposition 55 Tax Extension to Fund Education and Healthcare, which seeks to
extend through 2030 the income tax rate increases on high-income Californians enacted in 2012 through Proposition
30, as recommended by the Legislation Committee.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Fiscal Effects
Increased State Tax Revenues. Currently, the Proposition 30 income tax rate increases are scheduled to expire at the
end of 2018. This measure would increase state income tax revenues by billions of dollars per year above current
expectations for the years 2019 through 2030. (This would result in increased tax revenues for fiscal years 2018-19
through 2030-31.) The precise amount of this revenue in any given year would depend heavily on trends in the stock
market and the economy. For example, if the stock market and economy were weak in 2019 (the first year of the
proposed tax increase extension), this measure might generate around $5 billion of increased revenue. Conversely, if
the stock market and economy were strong at that time, the measure might raise around $11 billion. Near the midpoint
of this range—around $7.5 billion—is one reasonable expectation of the additional revenue that this measure would
generate in 2019. Thereafter, through 2030, that amount would rise or fall each year depending on trends in the stock
market and the economy.

Subject:Proposition 55 Tax Extension to Fund Education and Healthcare
August 9, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Official Minutes 128
FISCAL IMPACT: (CONT'D)
Increased School and Community College Funding. Under current law, the expiration of Proposition 30 is
expected to slow the growth of state tax revenues, thereby slowing the growth of the Proposition 98 minimum
funding level. Under this measure, the amount of Proposition 98 funds provided to schools and community
colleges each year probably would increase by a few billion dollars, compared to what these entities would receive
if all of Proposition 30’s tax increases expired. The amount of increased school spending over the 2019-2030
period could vary significantly, depending on such factors as the Proposition 98 variables and the state of the
economy during the period.
Increased Budget Reserves and Debt Payments. Under current law, the expiration of Proposition 30 will result in
less revenue available for budget reserves and debt payments compared to when Proposition 30 was in effect.
This measure would increase the amount of money used for budget reserves and debt payments, particularly when
the economy and stock market are doing well. Because the measure would increase the amount of money used for
budget reserves, it would be more likely that the total amount of reserves would reach the 10 percent maximum
established by Proposition 2. If this occurred, the measure could result in more funding being used to build and
maintain infrastructure.
Increased Medi-Cal Funding. The amount of increased Medi-Cal spending could vary significantly each year,
ranging from $0 to $2 billion. The measure delegates to DOF the authority to make this estimate by implementing
this measure’s provisions.
Remaining Funding Generally Available for Any Purpose. After satisfying requirements that the state tax
revenues raised by this measure be allocated for (1) school and community college funding, (2) budget reserves
and debt payments, and (3) the Medi-Cal program, the state could use any remaining funds for any budget
purpose. The use of that funding would depend on decisions by future legislatures and governors.
Other Fiscal Effects. The likelihood that the state exceeds its Proposition 4 spending limit in the future is difficult
to predict. If, however, this were to occur between 2019 and 2030, part of this measure’s revenues would go to
one-time taxpayer rebates and one-time school and community college spending instead of being available for
other state purposes.
Fiscal Summary. This measure would have the following major fiscal effects:
Increased state revenues annually from 2019 through 2030—likely in the $5 billion to $11 billion range
initially—with amounts varying based on stock market and economic trends.
Increased revenues would be allocated under constitutional formulas to schools and community colleges,
budget reserves and debt payments, and health programs, with remaining funds available for these or other
state purposes.
BACKGROUND:
Proposition 55 would extend only the personal income tax on high-income filers portion of Proposition 30 until
2030. This funding would continue to fund K-12 education and community colleges, and up to $2 billion could be
directed toward emergency and hospital Medi-Cal services, including for county public hospitals.
California’s State Budget. California state taxes—primarily income taxes—are spent mainly from the state
government’s General Fund, the state’s main operating account. The General Fund will spend about $115 billion
during the current 2015-16 state fiscal year. The General Fund pays for part of California’s K-12 and higher
education programs, health and human services programs, state prisons, statewide retirement systems for public
employees, debt service on state infrastructure bonds, and other programs.
Proposition 30. Proposition 30 temporarily raised state taxes.
Sales Taxes. Proposition 30 increased the state sales tax rate by one-quarter cent from 2013 through 2016.
In the current fiscal year, this increase is expected to raise $1.5 billion of revenue.
Income Taxes. Proposition 30 also increased marginal income tax rates paid by roughly the 1 percent of tax
August 9, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Official Minutes 129
filers in the state with the highest incomes. Depending on their taxable income levels, these filers pay an
extra 1 percent, 2 percent, or 3 percent tax on part of their incomes. These increases are in effect from 2012
through 2018. In the current fiscal year, the Proposition 30 income tax increases are expected to raise
between $6 billion and $8 billion of revenue.
Proposition 98. The largest category of state General Fund spending is for school districts and community
colleges. Proposition 98, approved by voters in 1988 and modified in 1990, establishes a minimum funding level
for schools and community colleges. This funding level tends to grow over time based on growth in the state’s
economy, state tax revenue, and student attendance, among other factors. In the current fiscal year, the state will
spend around $50 billion on Proposition 98 programs (over 40 percent of all General Fund revenues). In addition
to this state funding, schools and community colleges will receive around $19 billion from local property taxes.
Medi-Cal Program. In California, the federal Medicaid program is known as Medi-Cal. The MediCal program
uses state and federal funds to provide health care services to most low-income persons. Medi-Cal is the largest
state-administered health program in terms of spending and people served. In the current fiscal year, the state will
spend around $18 billion from the General Fund on Medi-Cal.
Proposition 2. In November 2014, California voters approved Proposition 2. Proposition 2 creates a new set of
rules to determine the amount of money the state has to deposit to a rainy day fund (the Budget Stabilization
Account), particularly when the economy and stock market are doing well. This fund is intended to reduce the
need for budget cuts, tax increases, and other measures in the future when the economy or stock market weakens.
Proposition 2 requires that money be deposited into the rainy day fund until the total reaches a maximum of 10
percent of General Fund tax revenues—which now equals about $12 billion. Proposition 2 also requires the state
to pay down certain state debts faster. Proposition 2 allows the state to reduce the rainy day fund deposit only if
the Governor calls a “budget emergency.” The Legislature would have to agree to reduce the deposit. The
Governor could call a budget emergency only if:
A natural disaster occurs, such as a flood or an earthquake.
There is not enough money available to keep General Fund spending at the highest level of the past three
years (adjusted for changes in the state population and the cost of living).
State Spending Limit. In addition to Propositions 2, 30, and 98, the State Constitution includes other rules
affecting the state budget, such as the state spending limit that has been in place since passage of Proposition 4 in
1979.
Department of Finance (DOF). Led by the Director of Finance, DOF is the executive branch entity that
supervises the state government’s financial policies.
Proposal
Extends Proposition 30 Income Tax Increases Through 2030. Under this measure, the Proposition 30 income
tax rate increases on high-income Californians would not expire at the end of 2018, as scheduled under current
law. As summarized in Figure 1 of Attachment B, this measure would extend those income tax rate increases
through 2030. Spending from the revenues raised by this measure would be subject to the state’s spending limit.
(Under this measure, Proposition 30’s sales tax rate increase would not be extended.)
Provides Some New Monies for Medi-Cal. For fiscal years 2018-19 through 2030-31, the measure requires DOF
to determine how much revenue raised by this measure would be available for the Medi-Cal program.
Specifically, DOF would (1) estimate the amount of revenues raised by this measure and (2) subtract from that
estimate higher required school and community college spending and certain other government costs, such as the
cost of more people being served by state government programs. The lesser of (1) 50 percent of the resulting
amount or (2) $2 billion would be allocated to the Medi-Cal program. During a Proposition 2 budget emergency,
the measure allows this allocation to be reduced in proportion to the reduction in overall General Fund spending.
Refer to Attachment A for the full text of the initiative and Attachment B for the full report by the Legislative
August 9, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Official Minutes 130
Analyst's Office.
The CSAC Health and Human Services Policy Committee gave a nod to Proposition 55, unanimously voting to
forward a recommendation of support on it to the CSAC Executive Committee.The Committee was primarily
focused on its potential to provide revenue for the state Medi-Cal program, fund education, and improve public
health.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Contra Costa County would not have a position on the measure.

By unanimous agreement, the Board will Take No Position at this time.

THE CALIFORNIA CHILDREN'S EDUCATION AND HEALTH CARE PROTECTION
ACTOF2016
SECTION 1. Title.
This measure shall be known and may be cited as "The California Children's Education and
Health Care Protection Act of 2016."
SECTION 2. Findings.
(a) During the recent recession, California cut more than $56 billion from education, health care
and other critical state and local services. These cuts resulted in thousands of teacher layoffs,
increased school class sizes, higher college tuition fees, and reduced essential services.
Temporary tax increases passed by California voters in 2012 helped to partially offset some of
the lost funding, but those taxes will begin to expire at the end of 2016, leading to more deficits
and more school cuts.
(b) Unless we act now to temporarily extend the current income tax rates on the wealthiest
Californians, our public schools will soon face another devastating round of cuts due to lost
revenue of billions of dollars a year. Public school funding was cut to the bone during the
recession. Our schools and colleges are just starting to recover, and we should be trying to
protect education funding instead of gutting it all over again. We can let the temporary sales tax
increase expire to help working families, but this is not the time to be giving the wealthiest
people in California a tax cut that they don't need and that our schools can't afford.
( c) California's future depends on the success of its 9 million children. Every California child
deserves a fair chance to become a successful adult. But for children to succeed as adults, they
must have access to high quality education and health care.
( d) For children, education and health care are essential and dependent on one another. Access to
a quality education is fundamental to the success of California's children. Even with adequate
schools, children cannot obtain an education if illness prevents them from attending. And
children growing up in communities without adequate health care are more likely to contract
illnesses or have chronic medical conditions that prevent them from regularly attending school.
( e) Underfunding of health care programs also harms California financially. Every new state
dollar spent on health care for children and their families is automatically matched by federal
funds. This means every year California loses out on billions of dollars in federal matching
money that could be used to ensure children and their families have access to healthcare.
(f) Research also shows that early access to quality education and health care improves
children's chances of succeeding in school and in life. California should do more to ensure that
the state's children receive the education and health care they need to thrive and achieve their
highest potential.

(g) California public schools, for example, are the most crowded in the nation. Class sizes are an
astonishing 80 percent larger than the national average. The number of Californians training to
be future teachers has dropped by 50 percent in the last five years as class sizes have soared.
(h) As well, the budgets of California's community colleges were slashed during the Great
Recession, diminishing the ability of California children -especially those from low-income
families -to receive career training and an affordable and necessary college education.
(i) California chronically underfunds health care. California ranks 481h out of the 50 states in
health care spending, making it difficult for children and their families, seniors and the disabled
to access health care. Underfunding health care for children leads to increased rates of serious
illness, and higher long-term medical expenses. Improved reimbursement for health services
helps ensure that children have access to doctors and hospitals. And once a hospital or doctor's
office closes due to chronic underfunding, it closes for everyone in that community.
(j) The California Children's Education and Health Care Protection Act of 2016 temporarily
extends the higher income tax rates on couples earning more than half a million dollars a year -
those who can most afford it -to help all California children stay healthy, stay in good public
schools, and have the opportunity for higher education.
(k) This measure does not increase taxes on anyone earning under $250,000. It does not extend
the temporary sales tax increases that voters previously approved in 2012.
(1) The income tax revenue is guaranteed in the California Constitution to go directly to local
school districts and community colleges, and to help the State pay for healthcare expenses for
low income children and their families. State funding is freed up to help balance the budget and
prevent even more devastating cuts to services for seniors, low-income children, working
families and small business owners. Everyone benefits.
(m) To ensure all these funds go only where the voters intend, they are put in a special fund that
the Legislature cannot divert to other purposes. None of these revenues can be spent on state
bureaucracy or administrative costs.
(n) These funds will be subject to an independent audit every year to ensure they are spent only
for the purposes set forth in this measure. Elected officials will be subject to prosecution and
criminal penalties if they misuse the funds.
( o) California has seen massive budget swings over the past 15 years, with deep deficits and
devastating cuts after the Dot-Com bust and the Great Recession. Maintaining the state's rainy
day fund will stabilize the budget, avoid the boom and bust cycles of the past, and protect our
children, seniors, and disabled Californians from cuts in school and healthcare funding during
future economic downturns.

SECTION 3. Purpose and Intent.
(a) The chief purpose and intent of the voters in enacting this measure is to avoid harmful cuts
that would reduce the quality of education and instruction in California's local public schools,
and to provide adequate funding for essential health care services for children and family
members who are legal residents of California.
(b) This measure is intended to protect our children by temporarily extending current income tax
rates on wealthy Californians, instead of awarding a huge tax break to couples earning more than
half a million dollars a year, or individuals earning more than a quarter million. Instead of
sending money back into the pockets of the wealthy, this measure sends the money to a special
account that must be spent exclusively to ensure that every California child has access to a
quality public education, and the quality health care necessary for them to stay in school and
learn.
( c) This measure is intended to keep California on its current track of balanced budgets and
reliable funding for schools, community colleges and health care, preventing a return to the days
of chronic budget deficits and funding cuts.
( d) This measure guarantees in the Constitution that the revenues it raises for schools will be sent
directly to school districts and community colleges for classroom expenses, not administrative
costs. This school funding cannot be suspended or withheld no matter what happens with the
state budget.
( e) This measure guarantees in the Constitution that the revenues it raises for health care will be
spent to supplement existing state funding for healthcare services that qualify for matching
federal funds.
(f) All revenues from this measure are subject to local audit every year, and audit by the
independent Controller to ensure that they will be used only for the purposes set forth in this
measure.
SECTION 4. Section 36 of Article XIII of the California Constitution is amended, to read:
Sec. 36.
(a) For purposes of this section:
(1) "Public Safety Services" includes the following:
(A) Employing and training public safety officials, including law enforcement personnel,
attorneys assigned to criminal proceedings, and court security staff.

reporting responsibilities. The legislation shall provide local agencies with maximum flexibility
and control over the design, administration, and delivery of Public Safety Services consistent
with federal law and funding requirements, as detennined by the Legislature. However, 2011
Realignment Legislation shall include no new programs assigned to local agencies after
January 1, 2012, except for the early periodic screening, diagnosis, and treatment (EPSDT)

of the Revenue and Taxation Code, as that section read on July 1, 2011.
(2) On and after July 1, 2011, the revenues deposited pursuant to paragraph (1) shall not be
considered General Fund revenues or proceeds of taxes for purposes of Section 8 of Article XVI
of the California Constitution.
(c)(l) Funds deposited in the Local Revenue Fund 2011 are continuously appropriated
exclusively to fund the provision of Public Safety Services by local agencies. Pending full
implementation of the 2011 Realignment Legislation, funds may also be used to reimburse the
State for program costs incurred in providing Public Safety Services on behalf of local agencies.
The methodology for allocating funds shall be as specified in the 2011 Realignment Legislation.
(2) The county treasurer, city and county treasurer, or other appropriate official shall create a
County Local Revenue Fund 2011 within the treasury of each county or city and county. The
money in each County Local Revenue Fund 2011 shall be exclusively used to fund the provision
of Public Safety Services by local agencies as specified by the 2011 Realignment Legislation.

of a new program or higher level of service on a local agency imposed by the 2011 Realignment
Legislation, or by any regulation adopted or any executive order or administrative directive
issued to implement that legislation, shall not constitute a mandate requiring the State to provide
a subvention of funds within the meaning of that section. Any requirement that a local agency
comply with Chapter 9 ( commencing with Section 54950) of Part 1 of Division 2 of Title 5 of
the Government Code, with respect to performing its Public Safety Services responsibilities, or
any other matter, shall not be a reimbursable mandate under Section 6 of Article XIII B.
(4)(A) Legislation enacted after September 30, 2012, that has an overall effect of increasing the
costs already borne by a local agency for programs or levels of service mandated by the
2011 Realignment Legislation shall apply to local agencies only to the extent that the State
provides annual funding for the cost increase. Local agencies shall not be obligated to provide
programs or levels of service required by legislation, described in this subparagraph, above the
level for which funding has been provided.
(B) Regulations, executive orders, or administrative directives, implemented after October 9,
2011, that are not necessary to implement the 2011 Realignment Legislation, and that have an
overall effect of increasing the costs already borne by a local agency for programs or levels of
service mandated by the 2011 Realignment Legislation, shall apply to local agencies only to the
extent that the State provides annual funding for the cost increase. Local agencies shall not be
obligated to provide programs or levels of service pursuant to new regulations, executive orders,
or administrative directives, described in this subparagraph, above the level for which funding
has been provided.
(C) Any new program or higher level of service provided by local agencies, as described in
subparagraphs (A) and (B), above the level for which funding has been provided, shall not
require a subvention of funds by the State nor otherwise be subject to Section 6 of Article XIII B.
This paragraph shall not apply to legislation currently exempt from subvention under
paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 6 of Article XIII Bas that paragraph read on

(D) The State shall not submit to the federal government any plans or waivers, or amendments to
those plans or waivers, that have an overall effect of increasing the cost borne by a local agency
for programs or levels of service mandated by the 2011 Realignment Legislation, except to the
extent that the plans, waivers, or amendments are required by federal law, or the State provides
annual funding for the cost increase.
(E) The State shall not be required to provide a subvention of funds pursuant to this paragraph
for a mandate that is imposed by the State at the request of a local agency or to comply with

subdivision (a) and included in the 2011 Realignment Legislation, ifthere are subsequent
changes in federal statutes or regulations that alter the conditions under which federal matching
funds as described in the 2011 Realignment Legislation are obtained, and have the overall effect
of increasing the costs incurred by a local agency, the State shall annually provide at least
50 percent of the nonfederal share of those costs as determined by the State.
(B) When the State is a party to any complaint brought in a federal judicial or administrative
proceeding that involves one or more of the programs described in subparagraphs (C) to (E),
inclusive, of paragraph (1) of subdivision (a) and included in the 2011 Realignment Legislation,
and there is a settlement or judicial or administrative order that imposes a cost in the form of a
monetary penalty or has the overall effect of increasing the costs already borne by a local agency
for programs or levels of service mandated by the 2011 Realignment Legislation, the State shall
annually provide at least 50 percent of the nonfederal share of those costs as determined by the
State. Payment by the State is not required if the State determines that the settlement or order
relates to one or more local agencies failing to perform a ministerial duty, failing to perform a
legal obligation in good faith, or acting in a negligent or reckless manner.
(C) The state funds provided in this paragraph shall be from funding sources other than those
described in subdivisions (b) and ( d), ad valorem property taxes, or the Social Services

Realignment Legislation, and the State shall be obligated to provide that amount for so long as
the local agencies are required to perform the Public Safety Services responsibilities assigned by
the 2011 Realignment Legislation. If the State fails to annually appropriate that amount, the
Controller shall transfer that amount from the General Fund in pro rata monthly shares to the
Local Revenue Fund 2011. Thereafter, the Controller shall disburse these amounts to local
agencies in the manner directed by the 2011 Realignment Legislation. The state obligations
under this subdivision shall have a lower priority claim to General Fund money than the first

the Director of Finance shall estimate the total amount of additional revenues, less refimds, that
will be derived from the incremental increases in tax rates made in subdivision (f) that will be

less refunds, that will be received by the end of the 2012-13 fiscal year.
(B) During the last 10 days of the quarter of each of the first three quarters of each fiscal year
from 2013-14 to 2018 192030-31, inclusive, the Controller shall transfer into the Education
Protection Account one-fourth of the total amount estimated pursuant to subparagraph (A) for
that fiscal year, except as this amount may be adjusted pursuant to subparagraph (D).
(C) In each of the fiscal years from 2012-13 to 2020 212032-33, inclusive, the Director of
Finance shall calculate an adjustment to the Education Protection Account, as specified by
subparagraph (D), by adding together the following amounts, as applicable:
(i) In the last quarter of each fiscal year from 2012-13 to 2018 192030-31, inclusive, the Director
of Finance shall recalculate the estimate made for the fiscal year pursuant to subparagraph (A),
and shall subtract from this updated estimate the amounts previously transferred to the Education

shall make a final determination of the amount of additional revenues, less refunds, derived from
the incremental increases in tax rates made in subdivision (f) for the fiscal year ending two years
prior. The amount of the updated estimate calculated in clause (i) for the fiscal year ending two
years prior shall be subtracted from the amount of this final determination.
(D) If the sum determined pursuant to subparagraph (C) is positive, the Controller shall transfer
an amount equal to that sum into the Education Protection Account within 10 days preceding the
end of the fiscal year. If that amount is negative, the Controller shall suspend or reduce
subsequent quarterly transfers, if any, to the Education Protection Account until the total
reduction equals the negative amount herein described. For purposes of any calculation made
pursuant to clause (i) of subparagraph (C), the amount of a quarterly transfer shall not be
modified to reflect any suspension or reduction made pursuant to this subparagraph.
(E) Before June 30. 2018. and before June 30 of each year from 2019 to 2030. inclusive. the
Director of Finance shall estimate the amount of the additional revenues. less refunds. to be

required to meet:
(i) the minimum funding guarantee of section 8 of article XVI for that following fiscal year: and
(ii) the workload budget for that following fiscal year. excluding any program expenditures
already accounted for through (i). For purposes of this section, ''workload budget" has the
meaning set forth in Government Code section 13308.05. as that section read and was interpreted
by the Department of Finance on January l, 2016. provided, however. that "currently authorized
services" shall mean only those services that would have been considered "currently authorized

(F) In order to enhance the ability of all California school children and their families to receive
regular. quality healthcare and thereby minimize school absenteeism due to health-related
problems. whenever the Director of Finance estimates that the amount available for transfer into
the Education Protection Account during the following fiscal year exceeds the amount of
revenues required from that Account pursuant to subparagraph (E) for that following fiscal year.

provision of healthcare for Medi-Cal beneficiaries that are contracting with the California
Department of Health Care Services to provide health benefits pursuant to this section.
(G) The allocation provided for in subparagraph (F) may be suspended by statute during a fiscal
year in which a budget emergency has been declared. provided, however. that the allocation shall
not be reduced beyond the proportional reduction in overall General Fund expenditures for that
year. For purposes of this section. "budget emergency" has the same meaning as in paragraph
(2) of subdivision (b) of section 22 of article XVI.
(H) The funding provided pursuant to subparagraph (F) shall not be used to supplant existing
state general funds for the nonfederal share of payments for those programs and, consistent with
federal law. shall be used to obtain federal matching Medicaid funds.

Hon. Kamala D. Harris
Attorney General
1300 I Street, 17th Floor
Sacramento, California 95814
Attention: Ms. Ashley Johansson
Initiative Coordinator
Dear Attorney General Harris:
Pursuant to Elections Code Section 9005, we have reviewed a proposed constitutional initiative
concerning taxes (A.G. File No. 15-0115, Amendment No. 1). The proposal extends temporary
personal income tax (income tax) rate increases on high-income taxpayers that were approved as part
of Proposition 30 in 2012.
Background
California’s State Budget. California state taxes—primarily income taxes—are spent mainly
from the state government’s General Fund, the state’s main operating account. The General Fund
will spend about $115 billion during the current 2015-16 state fiscal year. The General Fund pays for
part of California’s K-12 and higher education programs, health and human services programs, state
prisons, statewide retirement systems for public employees, debt service on state infrastructure
bonds, and other programs.
Proposition 30. Proposition 30 temporarily raised state taxes.
Sales Taxes. Proposition 30 increased the state sales tax rate by one-quarter cent from
2013 through 2016. In the current fiscal year, this increase is expected to raise
$1.5 billion of revenue.
Income Taxes. Proposition 30 also increased marginal income tax rates paid by roughly
the 1 percent of tax filers in the state with the highest incomes. Depending on their
taxable income levels, these filers pay an extra 1 percent, 2 percent, or 3 percent tax on
part of their incomes. These increases are in effect from 2012 through 2018. In the
current fiscal year, the Proposition 30 income tax increases are expected to raise between
$6 billion and $8 billion of revenue.
Proposition 98. The largest category of state General Fund spending is for school districts and
community colleges. Proposition 98, approved by voters in 1988 and modified in 1990, establishes a
minimum funding level for schools and community colleges. This funding level tends to grow over
time based on growth in the state’s economy, state tax revenue, and student attendance, among other
factors. In the current fiscal year, the state will spend around $50 billion on Proposition 98 programs
August 9, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Official Minutes 150
Hon. Kamala D. Harris 2 January 22, 2016
(over 40 percent of all General Fund revenues). In addition to this state funding, schools and
community colleges will receive around $19 billion from local property taxes.
Medi-Cal Program. In California, the federal Medicaid program is known as Medi-Cal. The Medi-
Cal program uses state and federal funds to provide health care services to most low-income persons.
Medi-Cal is the largest state-administered health program in terms of spending and people served. In
the current fiscal year, the state will spend around $18 billion from the General Fund on Medi-Cal.
Proposition 2. In November 2014, California voters approved Proposition 2. Proposition 2
creates a new set of rules to determine the amount of money the state has to deposit to a rainy day
fund (the Budget Stabilization Account), particularly when the economy and stock market are doing
well. This fund is intended to reduce the need for budget cuts, tax increases, and other measures in
the future when the economy or stock market weakens. Proposition 2 requires that money be
deposited into the rainy day fund until the total reaches a maximum of 10 percent of General Fund
tax revenues—which now equals about $12 billion. Proposition 2 also requires the state to pay down
certain state debts faster.
Proposition 2 allows the state to reduce the rainy day fund deposit only if the Governor calls a
“budget emergency.” The Legislature would have to agree to reduce the deposit. The Governor could
call a budget emergency only if:
A natural disaster occurs, such as a flood or an earthquake.
There is not enough money available to keep General Fund spending at the highest level
of the past three years (adjusted for changes in the state population and the cost of living).
State Spending Limit. In addition to Propositions 2, 30, and 98, the State Constitution includes
other rules affecting the state budget, such as the state spending limit that has been in place since
passage of Proposition 4 in 1979.
Department of Finance (DOF). Led by the Director of Finance, DOF is the executive branch
entity that supervises the state government’s financial policies.
Proposal
Extends Proposition 30 Income Tax Increases Through 2030. Under this measure, the
Proposition 30 income tax rate increases on high-income Californians would not expire at the end of
2018, as scheduled under current law. As summarized in Figure 1, this measure would extend those
income tax rate increases through 2030. Spending from the revenues raised by this measure would be
subject to the state’s spending limit. (Under this measure, Proposition 30’s sales tax rate increase
would not be extended.)
Provides Some New Monies for Medi-Cal. For fiscal years 2018-19 through 2030-31, the
measure requires DOF to determine how much revenue raised by this measure would be available for
the Medi-Cal program. Specifically, DOF would (1) estimate the amount of revenues raised by this
measure and (2) subtract from that estimate higher required school and community college spending
and certain other government costs, such as the cost of more people being served by state
government programs. The lesser of (1) 50 percent of the resulting amount or (2) $2 billion would be
allocated to the Medi-Cal program. During a Proposition 2 budget emergency, the measure allows
this allocation to be reduced in proportion to the reduction in overall General Fund spending.

Hon. Kamala D. Harris 3 January 22, 2016
Fiscal Effects
Increased State Tax Revenues. Currently, the Proposition 30 income tax rate increases are
scheduled to expire at the end of 2018. This measure would increase state income tax revenues by
billions of dollars per year above current expectations for the years 2019 through 2030. (This would
result in increased tax revenues for fiscal years 2018-19 through 2030-31.) The precise amount of
this revenue in any given year would depend heavily on trends in the stock market and the economy.
For example, if the stock market and economy were weak in 2019 (the first year of the proposed tax
increase extension), this measure might generate around $5 billion of increased revenue. Conversely,
if the stock market and economy were strong at that time, the measure might raise around $11 billion.
Near the midpoint of this range—around $7.5 billion—is one reasonable expectation of the
additional revenue that this measure would generate in 2019. Thereafter, through 2030, that amount
would rise or fall each year depending on trends in the stock market and the economy.
Increased School and Community College Funding. Under current law, the expiration of
Proposition 30 is expected to slow the growth of state tax revenues, thereby slowing the growth of
the Proposition 98 minimum funding level. Under this measure, the amount of Proposition 98 funds
provided to schools and community colleges each year probably would increase by a few billion
dollars, compared to what these entities would receive if all of Proposition 30’s tax increases expired.
The amount of increased school spending over the 2019-2030 period could vary significantly,
depending on such factors as the Proposition 98 variables and the state of the economy during the
period.
Increased Budget Reserves and Debt Payments. Under current law, the expiration of
Proposition 30 will result in less revenue available for budget reserves and debt payments compared
to when Proposition 30 was in effect. This measure would increase the amount of money used for
August 9, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Official Minutes 152
Hon. Kamala D. Harris 4 January 22, 2016
budget reserves and debt payments, particularly when the economy and stock market are doing well.
Because the measure would increase the amount of money used for budget reserves, it would be
more likely that the total amount of reserves would reach the 10 percent maximum established by
Proposition 2. If this occurred, the measure could result in more funding being used to build and
maintain infrastructure.
Increased Medi-Cal Funding. The amount of increased Medi-Cal spending could vary
significantly each year, ranging from $0 to $2 billion. The measure delegates to DOF the authority to
make this estimate by implementing this measure’s provisions.
Remaining Funding Generally Available for Any Purpose. After satisfying requirements that
the state tax revenues raised by this measure be allocated for (1) school and community college
funding, (2) budget reserves and debt payments, and (3) the Medi-Cal program, the state could use
any remaining funds for any budget purpose. The use of that funding would depend on decisions by
future legislatures and governors.
Other Fiscal Effects. The likelihood that the state exceeds its Proposition 4 spending limit in the
future is difficult to predict. If, however, this were to occur between 2019 and 2030, part of this
measure’s revenues would go to one-time taxpayer rebates and one-time school and community college
spending instead of being available for other state purposes.
Fiscal Summary. This measure would have the following major fiscal effects:
Increased state revenues annually from 2019 through 2030—likely in the $5 billion to
$11 billion range initially—with amounts varying based on stock market and economic
trends.
Increased revenues would be allocated under constitutional formulas to schools and
community colleges, budget reserves and debt payments, and health programs, with
remaining funds available for these or other state purposes.
Sincerely,

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
The County contracted with Peckham and McKenney to conduct the recruitment to fill the vacancy. On May 12,
2016, the recruitment for a new County Probation Officer –Exempt commenced. Peckham and McKenney
advertised the position nationwide but with particular emphasis on the west coast region. Ads were placed with the
California State Association of Counties (CSAC), the California Probation, Parole and Correctional Association,
Chief Probation Officers of California, Western City Magazine, Careers in Government, and Jobs Available.
Invitations and recruitment profiles were sent to 280 potential candidates targeted by Peckham and McKenney.
The six (6) week recruitment garnered 272 applications. With the assistance of Peckham and McKenney, the
applications were screened and five (5) semi-finalists were forwarded to the County Selection Committee on July
18, 2016. The County Selection Committee was composed of Honorable Presiding Judge, Steven Austin,
Superior Court, Contra Costa County; Honorable Supervising Juvenile Judge Thomas Maddock, Superior Court,
Contra Costa County; Mary Butler, Chief Probation Officer, Napa County; and Kathy Ito, President, KMI Human
Resources Consulting, Inc.
Following a series of interviews and reference checks, I selected Todd Billeci for the position.
Mr. Billeci holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Government with a Minor in Business Administration from California
State University, Sacramento. Todd began his career with Contra Costa County 25 years ago as a Group
Counselor I and has held progressively responsible positions of Probation Supervisor I, Probation Manager,

RECOMMENDATION(S):
ADOPT Traffic Resolution No. 2016/4445 to prohibit parking at all times (red curb) on the north side of Pacheco
Boulevard (Road No. 3951C), beginning at a point 15 feet east of the centerline of Falling Star Drive (private road)
and extending westerly a distance of 60 feet, as recommended by the Public Works Director, Martinez area.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No fiscal impact.
BACKGROUND:
Upon the request by County Connection to add red curb at a bus stop on Pacheco Boulevard, County Traffic
Engineering staff investigated and made the following observations. Currently motorists park at the unmarked curb
where a bus stop is located, forcing buses to stop in the travel lane of Pacheco Boulevard in order to embark or
disembark passengers. This creates a less than ideal condition for both motorists and passengers, especially those
with disabilities who may have to enter the roadway to board the bus. This bus stop is located on a curve in the
roadway and some drivers cross into the oncoming lane to pass a stopped bus. Prohibiting parking at this location
would allow the bus to be out of the traveled portion of the roadway while embarking/disembarking passengers and
allow the bus to safely merge back into traffic.

August 9, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Official Minutes 210
FISCAL IMPACT:
100% Gas Tax Funds.
BACKGROUND:
The purpose of this Project is to improve the infrastructure drainage of the retaining wall adjacent to Actriz Place.
The retaining wall along Actriz Place runs from Actriz Avenue to Rodrigues Avenue, serves as the backyard
property boundary for the residence at 471 Rodrigues Avenue and was intended to discharge at the curb in front of
that residence. The wall drain is not functioning properly and has resulted in saturated conditions in the side and
front yard of the residence.
The Project consists of installation of a French drain system in the backyard of the residence at the foot of the
wall. The drain will discharge into an existing curb and gutter on Cabrilho Drive. The section of sidewalk at the
proposed discharge location is cracked, will be replaced, and will include the necessary drain to the curb and
gutter on Cabrilho Drive. Real Property transactions, including right-of-way acquisition, temporary construction
easements, and drainage easements may be necessary in support of this project.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Delay in approving the project will result in a delay of design and construction and the subject property will
experience saturation of both the front and side yards during coming winter months.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE the consolidation requests from each and any jurisdiction that filed a resolution with the County
Clerk-Recorder, Elections Division and the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors to consolidate their elections with the
November 8, 2016 General Election, and AUTHORIZE the Elections Division to conduct the elections for those
jurisdictions on November 8, 2016.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no additional direct cost to the County. Any additional cost incurred by the Elections Division will be
recovered from each City, School and Special District that choose to consolidate their elections with the November 8,
2016 General Election.
BACKGROUND:
Records indicate that the entities have filed a resolution with the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors requesting
consolidation with the General Election. Granting the requests will allow the Elections Division to consolidate the
Districts' and Cities' elections with the County's Presidential General Election, which will reduce the County's cost of
conducting the election.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
CONSIDER adopting a Support position on Proposition 61 The California Drug Price Relief Act, which seeks to
prohibit state agencies from paying more for a prescription drug than the lowest price paid by the U.S. Department of
Veterans Affairs, as recommended by the Legislation Committee.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No direct impact to the County from supporting the initiative.
It is the opinion of the Legislative Analyst and Director of Finance that the measure, if adopted, may result in a
substantial net change in state or local finances.
BACKGROUND:
Proposition 61 prohibits state agencies from paying more for a prescription drug than the lowest price paid for the
same drug by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs. The measure applies to any program where the state
is the ultimate payer for a drug, even if the state does not purchase the drug directly. The Measure exempts certain
purchases of prescription

Dear Ms. Johansson:
Pursuant to California Elections Code section 9002(b) (and particularly section
9002(b )( 4) and section 15 with regard to timing), by this letter I respectfully submit
amendments to the proposed statewide initiative measure entitled "The California Drug Price
Relief Act" (the "measure") (Initiative 15-0009). These amendments are reasonably germane
to the theme, purpose, and/or subject of the measure as originally proposed and therefore are
encouraged and permitted by the recent Ballot Initiative Transparency Act (Senate Bill 1253).
Further, I request that the Attorney General prepare a circulating title and summary
using the amended language submitted herewith and incorporated herein by this reference.
For ease of reference, I include both a "clean" copy and a "red-lined" copy of the amended
language.

The California Drug Price Relief Act
The People of the State of California do hereby ordain as follows:
Section 1. Title.
This Act shall be known and may be cited as "The California Drug Price Relief Act" (the "Act").
Section 2. Findings and Declarations.
The People ofthe State ofCaliforniahereby fmd and declare allofthe following:
(a) Prescription drug costs have been, and continue to be, one of the greatest drivers of rising health
care costs in California.
(b) Nationally, prescription drug spending increased more than 800 percent between 1990 and 2013,
making it one of the fastest growing segments of health care.
(c) Spending on specialty medications, such as those used to treat HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis C, and
cancers, are rising faster than other types of medications. In 2014 alone, total spending on specialty
medications increased by more than 23 percent.
(d) The pharmaceutical industry's practice of charging inflated drug prices has resulted in
pharmaceutical company profits exceeding those of even the oil and investment banking industries.
(e) Inflated drug pricing has led to drug companies lavishing excessive pay on their executives.
(f) Excessively priced drugs continue to be an unnecessary burden on California taxpayers that
ultimately results in cuts to health care services and providers for people in need.
(g) Although California has engaged in efforts to reduce prescription drug costs through rebates,
drug manufacturers are still able to charge the State more than other government payers for the same
medications, resulting in a dramatic imbalance that must be rectified.
(h) If California is able to pay the same prices for prescription drugs as the amounts paid by the
United States Department of Veterans Affairs, it would result in significant savings to California and its
taxpayers. This Act is necessary and appropriate to address these public concerns.
Section 3. Purposes and Intent.
The People of the State of California hereby declare the following purposes and intent in enacting this
Act:
(a) To enable the State of California to pay the same prices for prescription drugs as the
prices paid by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs, thus rectifying the imbalance among
government payers.
1
August 9, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Official Minutes 229
(b) To enable significant cost savings to California and its taxpayers for prescription drugs, thus
helping to stem the tide of rising health care costs in California.
(c) To provide for the Act's proper legal defense should it be adopted and thereafter challenged in
court.
Section 4. The California Drug Price Relief Act shall be codified by adding the following Section to
the California Welfare and Institutions Code:
Section 14105.32. Drug Pricing
(a) Notwithstanding any other provision oflaw and insofar as may be permissible under
federal law, neither the State of California, nor any state administrative agency or other state entity,
including, but not limited to, the California Department of Health Care Services, shall enter into any
agreement with the manufacturer of any drug for the purchase of a prescribed drug unless the net cost of
the drug, inclusive of cash discounts, free goods, volume discounts, rebates, or any other discounts or
credits, as determined by the California Department of Health Care Services, is the same as or less than
the lowest price paid for the same drug by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs.
(b) The price ceiling described in subsection (a) above also shall apply to all programs where
the State of California or any state administrative agency or other state entity is the ultimate payer for
the drug, even if it did not purchase the drug directly. This includes, but is not limited to, California's
Medi-Cal fee-for-service outpatient drug program, and California's AIDS Drug Assistance Program. In
addition to agreements for any cash discounts, free goods, volume discounts, rebates, or any other
discounts or credits already in place for these programs, the responsible state agency shall enter into
additional agreements with drug manufacturers for further price reductions so that the net cost of the
drug, as determined by the California Department of Health Care Services, is the same as or less than the
lowest price paid for the same drug by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs. The
requirements of this Section shall not be applicable to drugs purchased or procured, or rates developed,
pursuant to or under any Medi-Cal managed care program.
(c) It is the intent of the People of the State of California that the State of California, and all
state agencies and other state entities that enter into one or more agreements with the manufacturer of
any drug for the purchase of prescribed drugs, shall implement this section in a timely manner, and to
that end the State of California and all such state agencies and.other state entities are required to
implement and comply with this law no later than July 1, 2017.
(d) The State of California, and each and every state administrative agency or other state
entity, may adopt rules and/or regulations to implement the provisions of this Section, and may seek any
waivers of federal law, rule, and/or regulation necessary to implement the provisions of this Section.

August 9, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Official Minutes 230
Section 5. Liberal Construction.
This Act is an exercise of the public power of the People of the State of California for the protection of
their health, safety, and welfare, and shall be liberally construed to effectuate its purposes.
Section 6. Conflicting Measures.
This Act is intended to be comprehensive. It is the intent of the People of the State of California that in
the event this Act and one or more measures relating to the same subject shall appear on the same
statewide ballot, the provisions of the other measure or measures shall be deemed to be in conflict with
this Act. In the event that this Act receives a greater number of affirmative votes, the provisions of this
Act shall prevail in their entirety, and all provisions of the other measure or measures shall be null and
void.
Section 7. Proponent Accountability.
The People of the State of California hereby declare that the proponent of this Act should be held civilly
liable in the event this Act is struck down, after passage, in whole or in part, by a court of law for being
constitutionally or statutorily impermissible. Such a constitutionally or statutorily impermissible
initiative is a misuse of taxpayer funds and electoral resources and the Act's proponent, as drafter of the
Act, must be held accountable for such an occurrence.
In the event this Act, after passage, is struck down in a court of law, in whole or in part, as
unconstitutional or statutorily invalid, and all avenues for appeal have been exhausted, the proponent
shall pay a civil penalty of$10,000 to the General Fund of the State of California for failure to draft and
sponsor a wholly constitutionally or statutorily permissible initiative law but shall have no other liability
to any person or entity with respect to, related to, or arising from the Act. No party or entity may waive
this civil penalty.
Section 8. Amendment and Repeal.
This Act may be amended to further its purposes by statute passed by a two-thirds (2/3) vote of the
Legislature and signed by the Governor.
Section 9. Severability.
If any provision ofthis Act, or part thereof, or the applicability of any provision or part to any person or
circumstances, is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional, the remaining provisions and
parts shall not be affected, but shall remain in full force and effect, and to this end the provisions and
parts of this Act are severable. The voters hereby declare that this Act, and each portion and part, would
have been adopted irrespective of whether any one or more provisions or parts are found to be invalid or
unconstitutional.
3
August 9, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Official Minutes 231
Section 10. Legal Defense.
The People of the State of California desire that the Act, if approved by the voters, and thereafter
challenged in court, be defended by the State of California. The People of the State of California, by
enacting this Act, hereby declare that the proponent of this Act have a direct and personal stake in
defending this Act from constitutional or statutory challenges to the Act's validity. In the event the
Attorney General fails to defend this Act, or the Attorney General fails to appeal an adverse judgment
against the constitutionality or statutory permissibly of this Act, in whole or in part, in any court of law,
the Act's proponent shall be entitled to assert its direct and personal stake by defending the Act's
validity in any court of law and shall be empowered by the citizens through this Act to act as agents of
the citizens of the State of California subject to the following conditions: (1) The proponent shall not be
considered an "at-will" employee of the State of California, but the Legislature shall have the authority
to remove the proponent from their agency role by a majority vote of each house of the Legislature when
"good cause" exists to do so, as that term is defined by California case law; (2) The proponent shall take
the Oath of Office under California Constitution, Article XX, §3 as an employee of the State of
California; (3) The proponent shall be subject to all fiduciary, ethical, and legal duties prescribed by law;
and (4) The proponent shall be indemnified by the State of California for only reasonable expenses and
other losses incurred by the proponent, as agent, in defending the validity of the challenged Act. The
rate of indemnification shall be no more than the amount it would cost the State to perform the defense
itself.
Section 11. Effective Date.
Except as otherwise provided herein, this Act shall become effective the day after its approval by the
voters.

Hon. Kamala D. Harris
Attorney General
1300 I Street, 17th Floor
Sacramento, California 95814
Attention: Ms. Ashley Johansson
Initiative Coordinator
Dear Attorney General Harris:
Pursuant to Elections Code Section 9005, we have reviewed the proposed initiative
(A.G. File No. 15-0009) that would establish requirements regarding the prices the state may pay to
purchase prescribed drugs.
Pursuant to subsection (c) of Section 9005 of the Elections Code, we are informing you that, in our
opinion, a reasonable estimate of the net impact of this proposed initiative measure cannot be prepared
within the 50-day period from the date this proposed initiative was received. The initiative would
prohibit the state, or any state administrative agency or other state entity, from entering into any
agreement with a drug manufacturer for the purchase of a prescribed drug unless the net cost of the drug
is the same as or less than the lowest price paid for the same drug by the United States Department of
Veterans Affairs (USDVA). This price ceiling would also apply to all programs where the state or any
state administrative agency or other state entity is the ultimate payer for the drug, even if it did not
purchase the drug directly. In the time provided, we were unable to obtain sufficient information on the
lowest prices paid for prescribed drugs by USDVA to enable us to make a reasonable comparison
between the prices paid by USDVA and the prices paid by the state. Lacking such price comparison
information, we were unable to come up with a reasonable estimate of the measure’s potential fiscal
impact on state costs for prescribed drugs. In light of the above, pursuant to subsection (c) of
Section 9005 of the Elections Code, we are informing you that it is our opinion that the initiative, if
adopted, may result in a substantial net change in state or local finances.
Sincerely,

procedures; and ensuring timely payment of invoices and contracts. Due to attrition, the division has relied on
other clerical staff to perform these duties and the workload has become burdensome. The Department has
determined that the vacant Personnel Technician position is no longer necessary and a Secretary-Advanced Level
is more appropriate to perform these duties and responsibilities.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this action is not approved, there is not adequate administrative staff to effectively support the

RECOMMENDATION(S):
Adopt Position Resolution No. 2016/484 for the following actions:
Effective May 1, 2016, adjust the salary step of four recently promoted incumbents in the Principal
Planner-Level A (5AHD) classification from Step 3 to Step 6 for incumbents 62134, 64114, 67446, and from
Step 3 to Step 5 for incumbent 66995;
1.
Effective July 1, 2016, adjust the salary step of the incumbent in the reclassification of Chief Assistant County
Counsel from Step 4 to Step 5; and
2.
Effective September 1, 2016, add two additional five percent (5%) merit steps to the classifications of Deputy
County Clerk-Recorder-Exempt (ALB2), Assistant County Registrar-Exempt (ALB1), and Assistant County
Clerk-Recorder-Exempt (ALB3).
3.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The costs associated with these actions are budgeted in each affected department for FY 2016/17.
BACKGROUND:
Effective May 1, 2016, the Department of Conservation and Development promoted four DCD Planner III’s to

MOU (Section 42.17) in recognition of their complex and special assignments. The differential pay is not
available to Principal Planner classifications.
Based on the Salary Regulations rules on promotion, the specialized differential is not used to calculate step
placement upon promotion, which resulted in these employees receiving a cut to pay. This serves as a
disincentive for competent employees to take promotions. Consequently, the County Administrator is
recommending that an exception be made to move three of the employees from Step 3 to Step 6 (Employee
Numbers: 62134, 64114, and 67446) and one of the employees from Step 3 to Step 5 (Employee Number
66995).
On May 10, 2016, the Board adopted a Resolution effective July 1, 2016, to reclassify an employee from
Assistant County Counsel-Exempt (2ED1) position #14077 to the Chief Assistant County Counsel (2ED2).
Based on the Salary Regulations rules on promotion, the incumbent was placed at Step 4 of the salary range.
Due to the incumbent's extensive background and experience and the importance of this position to the
department, the County Counsel recommended that the initial placement be at Step 5 on the salary range.
2.
The base salaries for the classifications of Deputy County Clerk-Recorder-Exempt (ALB2), Assistant
County Registrar-Exempt (ALB1), and Assistant County Clerk-Recorder-Exempt (ALB3) are not
competitive. The County Clerk-Recorder-Registrar has requested that the salary range for the above classes
be extended by two additional steps at five percent (5%) each.
3.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this action is not approved, incumbents in positions listed will be adversely impacted by having to take
reductions in pay to accept promotional opportunities. The Office of Clerk-recorder may struggle to retain key
management personnel.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
through their participation in the CalWORKS program. The State routinely adds funds to the contract as more funding
becomes available throughout the program year. On June 9, 2015 the Board approved receipt of additional funding in
amendment #1 (C.67). The additional funding was due to the over earning of the 2014-15 Alternative
Payment/CalWORKs Stage 2 contract.
The board approved a second amendment to this agreement on September 15, 2015 (C.47). The amendment was
generated from the California Department of Education Attendance and Fiscal Reporting and Reimbursement
Procedures for Child Development which states: “Contractors will be required to submit supporting documentation
with their request. State will determine the Contractor’s appropriate need and will augment the maximum
reimbursable amount (MRA) provided there is available funding. Contractors will receive notification from State of
the augmentation amount, followed by a contract amendment to increase the MRA.” The department submitted the
supporting documentation for funding augmentation to the State in July 2015. On August 24, 2015, the Department
received contract amendment #2 from California Department of Education increasing the 2014-15 Alternative
Payment/CalWORKs Stage 2 funding allocation by $182,388 which represented the full amount requested.
This amendment is for the additional funding due to the over earning of the 2014-15 Alternative Payment/CalWORKs
Stage 2 contract. The State’s Attendance and Fiscal Reporting and Reimbursement Procedures for Child
Development Contracts state that “Contractors will be required to submit supporting documentation with their
request. Child Development Fiscal Services (CDFS) will determine the contractor’s appropriate need and will
augment the Maximum reimbursable Amount (MRA) provided there is available funding. Contractors will receive
notification from CDFS of the augmentation amount, followed by a contract amendment from the Contracts Office
increasing the MRA. Contractors receiving an MRA augmentation should sign and return the amendment
immediately so that it can be executed while the funds are available. Until the amendment is fully executed, the
current MRA remains in effect.”
Community Services Bureau submitted the supporting documentation for funding augmentation to the State on July
2015. On July 22, 2016, the Department received contract amendment #3 from California Department of Education,
increasing the 2014-15 Alternative Payment/CalWORKs Stage 2 funding allocation by $269,145 representing the full
amount requested by the CSB. Without an approved board order, the Department will not receive the additional funds.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If not approved, County will not have funds to operate CalWORKS Stage 2 childcare program.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
The Employment & Human Services Department Community Services Bureau supports three of Contra Costa
County’s community outcomes - Outcome 1: “Children Ready for and Succeeding in School,” Outcome 3: “Families
that are Economically Self-sufficient,” and, Outcome 4: “Families that are Safe, Stable, and Nurturing.” These
outcomes are achieved by offering comprehensive services, including high quality early childhood education,
nutrition, and health services to low-income children throughout Contra Costa County.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
Approve and authorize the Purchasing Agent on behalf of the Assessor’s Office to execute a Purchase Order with
SamClar in an amount not to exceed $790,790 for seating, work stations, and filing systems for the period August 9,
2016 through July 31, 2017.
FISCAL IMPACT:

BACKGROUND:
In 2001, the Assessor’s Office moved to 2530 Arnold Drive, Suite 400 in Martinez. Due to budgetary constraints, the
Department purchased used/re-furbished office landscape partitions (OLP). Metal desks, vertical file cabinets, book
shelves, and chairs from surplus have been used to complete/supplement work stations. The Department is planning
to replace the OLP and chairs so that staff will have complete work stations that are ergonomic and adjustable. Also,
to better utilize space, the Department is planning to replace vertical files and book shelves with a more efficient
design.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Without approval of the Purchase Order, the Assessor’s Office could not provide ergonomic furniture throughout the
Suite and more efficient filing systems.

Pharmacy Services LLC as its source to provide medications for its patients through the 340B plan via contract
pharmacies (i.e., Walgreens). Having Cardinal Health Pharmacy Services LLC as a wholesaler maximizes the cost
savings for CCRMC and Health Centers. The request for additional funds is to cover invoices received through

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this Purchase Order is not approved, Hospital Pharmacy, as well as all Ambulatory Care Pharmacies within

During the period of transition, ProTransport-1, LLC continued to provide non-emergency ambulance transportation
services to patients in need to facilitate their medical treatment. Hospital Administration has therefore determined that
Pro-Transport is entitled to payment for the reasonable value of their services under the equitable relief theory of
quantum meruit. That theory provides that where a person has been asked to provide services without a valid
contract, and the provider does so to the benefit of the recipient, the provider is entitled to recover the reasonable

an amount not to exceed $12,000,000 to be used to finance the acquisition, rehabilitation, improvement and
equipping of a multifamily housing development commonly known as Willowbrook Apartments, a 72-unit
residential rental housing development located at 110 Bailey Road, Bay Point, California (the "Development"). A
TEFRA hearing must be held by an elected body of the governmental entity having jurisdiction over the area
where the project is located in order for all or a portion of the Bonds to qualify as tax-exempt bonds for the
financing of the Development. The County is a member of CalPFA and qualifies as an elected body of the
governmental entity having jurisdiction over the area where the project is located.
The main purpose of the proposed Resolution is to acknowledge that a public hearing was held by the County's
Community Development Bond Program Manager on July 18, 2016, where members of the community were
given an opportunity to speak in favor of or against the use of tax-exempt bonds for the financing of the
Development. No public comments were received. A notice of the hearing was published in the East Bay Times
(proof of publication attached) on July 4, 2016.
The County's only role in this transaction was to hold the TEFRA hearing. Additional actions related to the bond
issuance will be the responsibility of CalPFA.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Negative action would prevent CalPFA from providing tax-exempt financing for the Developer's Willowbrook
Apartments project in Bay Point.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
The Willowbrook Apartments provide 72 units of affordable rental housing appropriate for families. This supports
outcome #3: Families are Economically Self Sufficient.

FISCAL IMPACT:
The County anticipates receiving a minimum of $2,500 per residence in revenue from the public residential
improvement sale. 100% General Fund
BACKGROUND:
The residential improvements were previously used by Friends Outside, a nonprofit community organization
assisting incarcerated individuals and their families and storage for the Sheriff-Coroner’s Department. Since
2011, the residential improvements have been vacant and have become a health and safety issue due to their
deteriorating condition and trespassers. It has been determined that residential improvements are no longer
necessary for County purposes. County staff recommends designating the residential improvements as surplus
and selling the improvements “as is” at public auction. It has been determined that this activity is not subject to
the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pursuant to Section 15064.5 using criteria outlines in Section
5024.1 of the CEQA guidelines, which was previously approved by the Board on May 10, 2016 (CP#15-37).
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The County would continue to own and maintain the subject improvements.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
in the amount of $29,371.31 was entered against Leland Amos in an action brought by the Office of Revenue and
Collections. On February 5, 2008, the County recorded a lien against the Property owned by Mr. Amos. The
entire amount of the judgment remains unpaid. Under Code of Civil Procedure section 685.010, interest in the
amount of 10% per annum has accrued against the principal amount of the judgment.
Mr. Amos and his wife, Kelly Ann Rogers-Amos, and Charlotte Dorothy Rogers, are refinancing the Property in
an amount sufficient to pay off the principal amount of the judgment secured by the lien recorded against the
Property. Ms. Rogers-Amos has requested that the County waive the interest owed on the judgment and accept
$29,371.31, the principal due, in full satisfaction of the judgment.
The County Administrator and the Health Services Director recommend that the Board of Supervisors waive
payment of the interest due on the judgment and accept $29,371.31 in full satisfaction of the judgment, and direct
County Counsel to file an Acknowledgement of Satisfaction of Judgment with the Court upon receipt of funds.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The County may never recover the full amount owned and may miss this opportunity where the current property
owners are willing to refinance the Property to pay off this debt.

RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)
>
FISCAL IMPACT:
No impact to the General Fund. At the closing for the Bonds, the County is reimbursed for costs incurred in the
issuance process. Annual expenses for monitoring of Regulatory Agreement provisions ensuring units in the
Development will be rented to low income households will be reimbursed through issuer fees established in the
documents for the Bonds. The Bonds will be solely secured by and payable from revenues (e.g. Development
rents, reserves, etc.) pledged under the Bond documents. No County funds are pledged to secure the Bonds.
BACKGROUND:
The recommended action is the adoption of a Resolution by the Board, as the legislative body of the County,
authorizing the issuance of Multifamily Housing Revenue Bonds, the proceeds of which will be used to finance
the acquisition and construction of Tabora Gardens Senior Apartments, an 85 unit residential housing
development located at 3701 Tabora Drive in Antioch.
The ownership entity for the development will be Tabora Gardens, L.P., a California limited partnership with
Tabora Gardens, LLC serving as general partner of the Borrower. The ownership entity is an affiliate of Satellite
Affordable Housing Associates, a local non-profit housing developer that has developed over 1500 units of
housing over the past 44 years. Raymond James Tax Credit Funds, Inc. will be the tax credit investor special
limited partner.
On December 8, 2015, the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 2015/455 expressing the Board's intent
to issue multi-family housing revenue bonds for the Development. That Resolution authorized the submittal of an
application by the County for tax-exempt private activity bond authority from the California Debt Limit
Allocation Committee. Subsequent to the adoption of that Resolution, the County, as required by Section 147(f) of
the Internal Revenue Code, held a noticed public hearing to permit interested parties to comment on the proposed
financing and the Development. That hearing was held on January 4, 2016, with no comments received from the
public. The Board adopted Resolution No. 2016/33 on January 19, 2016, to authorize proceeding with the
issuance of the Bonds pursuant to Section 147(f) of the Internal Revenue Code.
On March 16, 2016, the California Debt Limit Allocation Committee awarded the County authority to issue the
Bonds in a maximum principal amount of $24,000,000. That authority will be used to issue and sell the Bonds
directly to Wells Fargo Bank National Association, with the proceeds of the Bonds to be used to fund a loan by the
Bank to Tabora Gardens L.P. In addition to the proceeds of the Bonds, the Development will utilize other forms of
financing detailed in Attachment A. The transaction is expected to close on or about August 26, 2016.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Negative action would prevent the County from issuing the Multifamily Housing Revenue Bonds in order to
provide a loan to Tabora Gardens, L.P. to finance the construction of Tabora Gardens Senior Apartments.

this Article.
Section 2.02. Terms of Bonds. The Bonds shall be in substantially the form set forth in
Exhibit A hereto with necessary or appropriate variations, omissions and insertions as
permitted or required by this Indenture, including any Supplemental Indenture.
The Bonds shall be issuable only as fully registered Bonds, without coupons, in the form
of a single Bond in the principal amount equal to the aggregate of the purchase price of the
Bonds advanced from time to time by the owner(s) of the Bonds (which principal amounts shall
be, on the Closing Date, the amount referenced in Section 3.01(vii)). The Bonds shall be dated
the Closing Date and shall be subject to redemption prior to maturity as provided in Article IV.
The Bonds shall mature on the Maturity Date.
Interest shall be paid on the Outstanding principal amount of the Bonds, from the
Closing Date until the maturity date of the Bonds, on each Interest Payment Date occurring
during such period, at a rate equal to, and calculated in the same manner as, the interest
payable on the Note.
Each Bond shall bear interest from the date to which interest has been paid on the Bonds
next preceding the date of its authentication, unless it is authenticated as of an Interest Payment
Date for which interest has been paid, in which event it shall bear interest from such Interest
Payment Date, or unless it is authenticated on or before the first Interest Payment Date, in
which event it shall bear interest from the Closing Date.
The payment or prepayment of principal of and interest on the Bonds shall be identical
with and shall be made on the same terms and conditions as the payment of principal of and

or under the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents and held by the Bondowner
Representative shall be held for the benefit of the holders from time to time of the Bonds, but
shall nevertheless be disbursed, allocated and applied solely for the uses and purposes
hereinafter set forth in this Article V.
The Bonds are limited obligations of the Issuer, payable solely from and secured by the
pledge of the Revenues hereunder. None of the Issuer, the City of Antioch or the State or any of
its political subdivisions shall be directly, indirectly, contingently or morally obligated to use
any other moneys or assets to pay all or any portion of the debt service due on the Bonds, to
levy or to pledge any form of taxation whatever therefor or to make any appropriation for their
payment. The Bonds are not a pledge of the faith and credit of the Issuer, the City of Antioch or
the State or any of its political subdivisions nor do they constitute indebtedness within the
meaning of any constitutional or statutory debt limitation.
The Issuer shall not be liable for payment of the principal of or interest on the Bonds or
any other costs, expenses, losses, damages, claims or actions, of any conceivable kind on any
conceivable theory, under or by reason of or in connection with this Indenture, the Bonds or any
other documents, except only to the extent amounts are received for the payment thereof from
the Borrower under the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents.
Section 5.02. Bond Fund. There is hereby created and established with the Bondowner
Representative a separate fund which shall be designated the “Bond Fund,” which fund shall be
applied only as provided in this Section.
The Bondowner Representative shall deposit in the Bond Fund from time to time, upon
receipt thereof, all Revenues, including (a) income received from the investment of moneys on
deposit in the Bond Fund, and (b) any other Revenues, including insurance proceeds,
condemnation awards and other Loan payments or prepayments received from or for the
account of the Borrower. The Bondowner Representative shall provide notice to the Issuer,
upon written request of the Issuer, of the amounts received by the Bondowner Representative
which constitute Revenues or are otherwise deposited to the Bond Fund, and of any failure by
the Borrower to make timely payments on the Note.
Moneys in the Bond Fund shall be used solely for the payment of the principal of and
premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds as the same shall become due, whether at maturity
or upon redemption or acceleration or otherwise.
August 9, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Official Minutes 375
-21-
On each date on which principal of or interest on the Bonds is due and payable, the
Bondowner Representative shall pay such amount from the Bond Fund (to the extent of the
funds contained therein).
So long as the Bondowner Representative and/or its affiliates are the Holders of all of
the Bonds, no Revenues shall be deposited into the Bond Fund, and instead all such Revenues,
including any payments or prepayments of principal, interest or premium, if any, on the Note
actually made by the Borrower to the Bondowner Representative shall be deemed to be like
payments or prepayments of principal, interest or premiums (if any) on the Bonds (and no such
payments or prepayments shall be required to be deposited into the Bond Fund).
Section 5.03. Investment of Moneys. Except as otherwise provided in this Section, any
moneys in any of the funds and accounts to be established by the Bondowner Representative
pursuant to this Indenture shall be invested by the Bondowner Representative in Investment
Securities selected and directed in writing by the Borrower with the prior written consent of the
Bondowner Representative, with respect to which payments of principal thereof and interest
thereon are scheduled or otherwise payable not later than one day prior to the date on which it
is estimated that such moneys will be required by the Bondowner Representative. In the
absence of such directions, the Bondowner Representative shall invest such monies in
Investment Securities described in clause (k) of the definition thereof. The Bondowner
Representative shall have no liability or responsibility for any loss resulting from any
investment made in accordance with this Section 5.03.
Except as otherwise provided in the next sentence, all investments of amounts deposited
in any fund or account created by or pursuant to this Indenture, or otherwise containing gross
proceeds of the Bonds (within the meaning of Section 148 of the Code) shall be acquired,
disposed of, and valued (as of the date that valuation is required by this Indenture or the Code)
at Fair Market Value. Investments in funds or accounts (or portions thereof) that are subject to a
yield restriction under applicable provisions of the Code shall be valued at their present value
(within the meaning of Section 148 of the Code). The Bondowner Representative shall have no
duty to determine Fair Market Value or present value hereunder.
For the purpose of determining the amount in any fund or account, all Investment
Securities credited to such fund or account shall be valued at the lower of cost or par (which
shall be measured exclusive of accrued interest) after the first payment of interest following
purchase.
Any interest, profit or loss on such investment of moneys in any fund or account shall be
credited or charged to the respective funds or accounts from which such investments are made.
The Bondowner Representative may sell or present for redemption any obligations so
purchased whenever it shall be necessary in order to provide moneys to meet any payment, and
the Bondowner Representative shall not be liable or responsible for any loss resulting from such
sale or redemption.
The Bondowner Representative may make any and all investments permitted under this
Section 5.03 through its own trust or banking department or any affiliate and may pay said
department reasonable, customary fees for placing such investments. The Bondowner
August 9, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Official Minutes 376
-22-
Representative and its affiliates may act as principal, agent, sponsor, advisor or depository with
respect to Investment Securities under this Section 5.03.
The Issuer (and the Borrower by its execution of the Loan Agreement) acknowledges
that to the extent regulations of the Comptroller of the Currency or other applicable regulatory
entity grant the Issuer or the Borrower the right to receive brokerage confirmations of security
transactions as they occur, the Issuer and the Borrower will not receive such confirmations to
the extent permitted by law. The Bondowner Representative will furnish the Borrower and the
Issuer (to the extent requested by it) periodic cash transaction statements which include detail
for all investment transactions made by the Bondowner Representative hereunder.
During the period that the Bondowner Representative and/or its affiliates are the
Holders of all of the Bonds, the Bondowner Representative may hold all funds commingled in a
single fund, uninvested, or apply such funds as otherwise agreed between the Bondowner
Representative and the Borrower, provided that at all times the Bondowner Representative can
determine the amounts attributable to the Bonds and the Loan and any investment earnings
thereon.
Section 5.04. Enforcement of Obligations. The Bondowner Representative also shall be
entitled (but not required, unless (i) requested to do so by the holders of a majority in principal
amount of the Bonds then Outstanding and (ii) if required by the Bondowner Representative,
provided with indemnification to its satisfaction against the costs, expenses and liabilities
incurred in compliance with such request) to take all steps, actions and proceedings reasonably
necessary in its judgment: (a) to enforce the terms, covenants and conditions of, and preserve
and protect the priority of its interest in and under, the Agreement, the Deed of Trust and the
other Loan Documents, (b) to require compliance with all covenants, agreements and conditions
on the part of the Issuer contained in this Indenture with respect to the Revenues, and (c) to be
reimbursed for its expenses (including attorney’s fees) by the Borrower in taking any action
referred to in the preceding clauses (a) or (b).
Section 5.05. Notice of Payment in Full of Bonds. The Bondowner Representative shall
provide the Issuer with notice that the Bonds have been paid-in-full, promptly following when
such payment occurs.

ARTICLE VI
COVENANTS OF THE ISSUER
Section 6.01. Payment of Principal and Interest. The Issuer shall punctually pay, but
only out of Revenues as herein provided, the principal and the interest (and premium, if any) to
become due in respect of every Bond issued hereunder at the times and places and in the
manner provided herein and in the Bonds, according to the true intent and meaning thereof.
When and as paid in full, all Bonds shall be delivered to the Bondowner Representative and
shall forthwith be destroyed.
Section 6.02. Paying Agents. The Issuer, with the written approval of the Bondowner
Representative, may appoint and at all times have one or more paying agents in such place or
places as the Issuer may designate, for the payment of the principal of, and the interest (and
premium, if any) on, the Bonds; provided, however, that so long as Wells Fargo Bank, National
Association and/or one or more of its affiliates are the registered owners of all of the Bonds
then Outstanding, the Bondowner Representative shall have the sole right to appoint, remove
and/or replace any paying agent(s) for the Bonds. It shall be the duty of the Bondowner
Representative to make such arrangements with any such paying agent as may be necessary
and feasible to assure, to the extent of the moneys held by the Bondowner Representative for
such payment, the availability of funds for the prompt payment of the principal of and interest
and premium, if any, on the Bonds presented at any place of payment. The paying agent
initially appointed hereunder is the Bondowner Representative.
Section 6.03. Preservation of Revenues; Amendment of Documents. The Issuer (a)
shall not take any action to interfere with or impair the pledge and assignment hereunder of
Revenues and the assignment to the Bondowner Representative of rights of the Issuer under the
Agreement, the Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents, or the Bondowner
Representative’s enforcement of any rights hereunder or thereunder; provided that the Issuer
may take actions under or pursuant to the Unassigned Rights, (b) shall not take any action to
impair the validity or enforceability of the Agreement, the Deed of Trust or the other Loan
Documents, and (c) shall not waive any of its rights under or any other provision of or permit
any amendment of the Agreement, the Deed of Trust or the other Loan Documents, without the
prior written consent of the Bondowner Representative; provided that such consent of the
Bondowner Representative shall not be required if the Bondowner Representative shall have
received an opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that such amendment (i) is required to
preserve the exclusion of interest on the Bonds from gross income for federal income tax
purposes or compliance by the Bonds or the Project with the Act and the laws of the State of
California; and (ii) will not adversely affect the interests of the Bondholders.
The Bondowner Representative may give such written consent, and may itself take any
such action or consent to a waiver of any provision of or an amendment or modification to or
replacement of the Agreement, the Deed of Trust, the Regulatory Agreement, any of the other
Loan Documents, or any other document, instrument or agreement relating to the security for
the Bonds, only if (i) such action or such waiver, amendment, modification or replacement (a) is
authorized or required by the terms of this Indenture, the Agreement, the Deed of Trust, the
applicable Loan Documents or the Regulatory Agreement, or (b) will not, based on an Opinion
August 9, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Official Minutes 378
-24-
of Counsel furnished to the Bondowner Representative, materially adversely affect the interests
of the holders of the Bonds or result in any impairment of the security hereby given for the
payment of the Bonds, or (c) has first been approved by the written consent of all of the holders
of the Bonds then Outstanding; (ii) the Bondowner Representative shall have first obtained an
opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that such action or such waiver, amendment, modification
or replacement will not adversely affect the exclusion of interest on the Bonds from gross
income for federal income tax purposes or conformance of the Bonds and the Project with the
Act or the laws of the State of California relating to the Bonds; and (iii) the Bondowner
Representative provides written notice of any amendment to, or modification or replacement of,
any Loan Document to the Issuer. The foregoing provisions of this paragraph, however, shall
not in any way abrogate the Unassigned Rights of the Issuer; and provided that in any event
any amendments to such documents do not provide for any additional duties or costs with
respect to the Issuer for which the Borrower does not agree in advance to reimburse or
indemnify the Issuer therefore.
Section 6.04. Compliance with Indenture. The Issuer shall not issue, or permit to be
issued, any Bonds secured or payable in any manner out of Revenues other than in accordance
with the provisions of this Indenture; it being understood that the Issuer reserves the right to
issue obligations payable from and secured by sources other than the Revenues and the assets
assigned herein. The Issuer shall not suffer or permit any default within its power to occur
under this Indenture, but shall faithfully observe and perform all the covenants, conditions and
requirements hereof. So long as any Bonds are Outstanding, the Issuer shall not create or suffer
to be created any pledge, lien or charge of any type whatsoever upon all or any part of the
Revenues, other than the lien of this Indenture.
Section 6.05. Further Assurances. Whenever and so often as requested so to do by the
Bondowner Representative, the Issuer (at the sole cost and expense of the Borrower) shall
promptly execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered all such other and further
instruments, documents or assurances, and promptly do or cause to be done all such other and
further things, as may be necessary or reasonably required in order to further and more fully
vest in the Bondowner Representative and the holders of the Bonds all of the rights, interests,
powers, benefits, privileges and advantages conferred or intended to be conferred upon them
by this Indenture and to perfect and maintain as perfected such rights, interests, powers,
benefits, privileges and advantages.
Section 6.06. No Arbitrage. Solely in reliance upon the covenants and representations
of the Borrower in the Loan Agreement, in the Regulatory Agreement and in the Tax Certificate,
the Issuer shall not take, nor permit nor suffer to be taken by the Bondowner Representative or
otherwise, any action with respect to the gross proceeds of the Bonds which if such action had
been reasonably expected to have been taken, or had been deliberately and intentionally taken,
on the date of the issuance of the Bonds would have caused the Bonds to be “arbitrage bonds”
within the meaning of Section 148(a) of the Code and Regulations promulgated thereunder.
Section 6.07. Limitation of Expenditure of Proceeds. The Issuer shall assure, solely in
reliance upon the covenants and representations of the Borrower in the Loan Agreement, in the
Regulatory Agreement and in the Tax Certificate, that not less than 95 percent of the amount
advanced as the purchase price of the Bonds, plus premium (if any) paid on the purchase of the
August 9, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Official Minutes 379
-25-
Bonds by the original purchaser thereof from the Issuer, less any original discount, are used for
Qualified Project Costs, and that less than 25 percent of such amount is used for land or an
interest in land. The Bondowner Representative shall have no obligation to monitor the Issuer’s
compliance with or to enforce the terms of this Section.
Section 6.08. Rebate of Excess Investment Earnings to United States. The Issuer
hereby covenants, solely in reliance upon the covenants and representations of the Borrower in
the Loan Agreement, in the Regulatory Agreement and in the Tax Certificate (including the
Borrower’s covenant to make any required rebate payments pursuant to Section 2(t) of the
Regulatory Agreement or otherwise) to calculate or cause to be calculated excess investment
earnings to the extent required by Section 148(f) of the Code and to pay an amount equal to
excess investment earnings to the United States in accordance with the Regulations, all at the
sole expense of the Borrower.
Section 6.09. Limitation on Issuance Costs. The Issuer shall assure, solely in reliance
upon the covenants and representations of the Borrower in the Loan Agreement, in the
Regulatory Agreement and in the Tax Certificate that, from the proceeds of the Bonds received
from the original purchaser thereof and investment earnings thereon, an amount not in excess
of two percent (2%) of the proceeds of the Bonds shall be used to pay for, or provide for the
payment of, Issuance Costs. For this purpose, if the fees of such original purchaser are retained
as a discount on the purchase of the Bonds, such retention shall be deemed to be an expenditure
of proceeds of the Bonds for Issuance Costs.
Section 6.10. Federal Guarantee Prohibition. The Issuer covenants that it shall take no
action nor, solely in reliance upon the covenants and representations of the Borrower in the
Loan Agreement, in the Regulatory Agreement and in the Tax Certificate, knowingly permit nor
suffer any action to be taken if the result of the same would be to cause the Bonds to be
“federally guaranteed” within the meaning of Section 149(b) of the Code.
Section 6.11. Prohibited Facilities. The Issuer, solely in reliance upon the covenants
and representations of the Borrower in the Loan Agreement, in the Regulatory Agreement and
in the Tax Certificate, shall assure that no portion of the proceeds of the Bonds shall be used to
provide any airplane, skybox or other private luxury box, health club facility, facility primarily
used for gambling, or store the principal business of which is the sale of alcoholic beverages for
consumption off premises. The Issuer, solely in reliance upon the covenants and
representations of the Borrower in the Loan Agreement, in the Regulatory Agreement and in
the Tax Certificate, shall assure that no portion of the proceeds of the Bonds are used for an
office unless the office is located on the premises of the facilities constituting the Project and
unless not more than a de minimis amount of the functions to be performed at such office is not
related to the day-to-day operations of the Project.
Section 6.12. Use Covenant. Solely in reliance upon the covenants and representations
of the Borrower in the Loan Agreement, in the Regulatory Agreement and in the Tax Certificate,
the Issuer shall not use or knowingly permit the use of any proceeds of Bonds or any other
funds of the Issuer, directly or indirectly, in any manner, and shall not take or permit to be
taken any other action or actions, which would result in any of the Bonds being treated as an
August 9, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Official Minutes 380
-26-
obligation not described in Section 142(d) of the Code by reason of such Bond not meeting the
requirements of Section 142(d) of the Code.
Section 6.13. Immunities and Limitations of Responsibility of Issuer. The Issuer shall
be entitled to the advice of counsel (who, except as otherwise provided, may be counsel for any
Bondholder), and the Issuer shall be wholly protected as to action taken or omitted under the
Bond Documents in good faith in reliance on such advice. The Issuer may rely conclusively on
any communication or other document furnished to it hereunder and reasonably believed by it
to be genuine. The Issuer shall not be liable for any action (a) taken by it under the Bond
Documents in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be within its discretion or powers
hereunder, or (b) in good faith omitted to be taken by it under the Bond Documents because
such action was reasonably believed to be beyond its discretion or powers hereunder, or (c)
taken by it under the Bond Documents pursuant to any direction or instruction by which it is
governed hereunder, or (d) omitted to be taken by it under the Bond Documents by reason of
the lack of any direction or instruction required hereby for such action; nor shall it be
responsible for the consequences of any error of judgment reasonably made by it with respect to
the foregoing matters. The Issuer shall in no event be liable under the Bond Documents for the
application or misapplication of funds or for other acts or defaults by any Person, except its own
officers and employees. When any payment or consent or other action by it is called for hereby,
it may defer such action pending receipt of such evidence (if any) as it may require in support
thereof. The Issuer shall not be required to take any remedial action (other than the giving of
notice) unless indemnity in a form acceptable to the Issuer is furnished for any expense or
liability to be incurred in connection with such remedial action, other than liability for failure to
meet the standards set forth in this Section. The Issuer shall be entitled to reimbursement from
the Borrower for its expenses reasonably incurred or advances reasonably made, with interest at
the rate of interest on the Bonds, in the exercise of its rights or the performance of its obligations
hereunder, to the extent that it acts without previously obtaining indemnity. No permissive
right or power to act which the Issuer may have shall be construed as a requirement to act; and
no delay in the exercise of a right or power shall affect its subsequent exercise of the right or
power.
A default by the Borrower in any of its covenants, representations and agreements in the
Loan Agreement, the Regulatory Agreement or the Tax Certificate on which the Issuer is relying
in Sections 6.06 through 6.12 hereof shall not be considered a default hereunder by the Issuer.
The Borrower has indemnified the Issuer against certain acts and events as set forth in
Sections 6.23 and 16.30 of the Loan Agreement, and Section 9 of the Regulatory Agreement.
Such indemnity shall survive payment of the Bonds and discharge of the Indenture.
Section 6.14. Additional Representations by the Issuer. The Issuer hereby represents
and warrants to the Bondholders and the Bondowner Representative that, as of the Closing
Date:
(a) The Issuer is a political subdivision and body corporate and politic, duly
organized and existing under the laws of the State and is duly authorized enter into and
perform its obligations under this Indenture.
August 9, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Official Minutes 381
-27-
(b) All requirements have been met and procedures have occurred in order to
authorize the execution and delivery by the Issuer of this Indenture. The Issuer has
taken all necessary action and has complied with all provisions of the law required to
make this Indenture a valid and binding limited obligation of the Issuer, except to the
extent limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other laws affecting the enforcement of
creditors’ rights generally, by the application of equitable principles regardless of
whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity, or by public policy.
(c) The Bonds have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Issuer.
Nothing in this Indenture shall be construed as requiring the Issuer to provide any
financing for the Projects, other than to use the proceeds of the Bonds to make the Loan,
or to provide sufficient moneys for all of the costs of financing the Project.
(d) To the best knowledge of the Issuer, there is no action, suit, proceeding,
inquiry or investigation by or before any court, governmental agency or public board or
body pending or threatened against the Issuer that (i) affects or seeks to prohibit,
restrain or enjoin the execution or delivery of this Indenture, the origination of the Loan
or the lending of the proceeds of the Loan to the Borrower, or the execution and delivery
of the Bond Documents, (ii) affects or questions the validity or enforceability of the
Bonds or the Bond Documents, or (iii) questions the tax-exempt status of interest on the
Bonds.
The Issuer makes no representation or warranty that the Project will be adequate or
sufficient for the purposes of the Borrower. Nothing in this Indenture shall be construed as
requiring the Issuer to provide any financing for the Project other than from the proceeds of the
Loan.

ARTICLE VII
DEFAULT
Section 7.01. Events of Default; Acceleration; Waiver of Default. Each of the following
events shall constitute an “Event of Default” hereunder:
(a) failure to pay the principal of any Bond when and as the same shall become
due and payable, whether by proceedings for redemption, by declaration or otherwise
and such failure is not cured within ten (10) days; provided, however, that there shall be
no cure period for the outstanding principal which is due and payable on the Maturity
Date;
(b) failure to pay any installment of interest on any Bond when such interest
installment shall become due and payable and such failure is not cured within ten (10)
days; provided, however, that there shall be no cure period for the outstanding interest
which is due and payable on the Maturity Date;
(c) the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement; and
(d) failure by the Issuer to perform or observe any other of the covenants,
agreements or conditions on its part in this Indenture or in the Bonds contained, and the
continuation of such failure for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof,
specifying such default and requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to
the Issuer and the Borrower by the Bondowner Representative, or to the Issuer, the
Borrower and the Bondowner Representative by the holders of not less than twenty-five
percent (25%) in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds at the time Outstanding.
No default specified in (d) above shall constitute an Event of Default unless the Issuer or
the Borrower shall have failed to correct such default within the applicable period; provided,
however, that if such default described in (d) above shall be such that it cannot be corrected
within such period, it shall not constitute an Event of Default if corrective action is instituted by
the Issuer or the Borrower within the applicable period and diligently pursued until the default
is corrected not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days (provided that a default by reason of
nonpayment of Bondowner Representative’s fees and expenses may only be waived by the
Bondowner Representative). With regard to any alleged default concerning which notice is
given to the Borrower under the provisions of (d) above, the Issuer hereby grants the Borrower
full authority for the account of the Issuer to perform any covenant or obligation the non-
performance of which is alleged in said notice to constitute a default in the name and stead of
the Issuer with full power to do any and all things and acts to the same extent that the Issuer
could do and perform any such things and acts and with power of substitution.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in (a), (b) or (c) above, unless the
principal of all the Bonds shall have already become due and payable, the Bondowner
Representative may, and upon the written request of the owners of a majority of the Bonds at
the time Outstanding in the case of an Event of Default described in (d) above, the Bondowner
Representative shall, by notice in writing to the Issuer, declare the principal of all the Bonds
August 9, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Official Minutes 383
-29-
then Outstanding, and the interest accrued thereon, to be due and payable immediately, and
upon any such declaration the same shall become and shall be immediately due and payable,
anything in this Indenture or in the Bonds contained to the contrary notwithstanding. Upon
any such declaration of acceleration, the Bondowner Representative shall fix a date for payment
of the Bonds.
The preceding paragraph, however, is subject to the condition that if, at any time after
the principal of the Bonds shall have been so declared due and payable, and before the first to
occur of (a) the date of entry of any judgment or decree for the payment of the moneys due as
hereinafter provided or (b) the date five (5) days prior to the date fixed for foreclosure of the
Deed of Trust or the liens of any of the other Loan Documents, there shall have been deposited
with the Bondowner Representative a sum sufficient to pay all the principal of the Bonds
matured or required to be redeemed prior to such declaration and all matured installments of
interest (if any) upon all the Bonds, with interest on such overdue installments of principal, all
other amounts owing under the Loan Documents, and the reasonable fees and expenses of the
Bondowner Representative, its agents and counsel, and any and all other defaults actually
known to a Responsible Officer of the Bondowner Representative (other than in the payment of
principal of and interest on the Bonds due and payable solely by reason of such declaration)
shall have been made good or cured to the satisfaction of the Bondowner Representative or
provision deemed by the Bondowner Representative to be adequate shall have been made
therefor, then, and in every such case, the declaration shall be rescinded and annulled; but no
such rescission, annulment or waiver shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default, or
shall impair or exhaust any right or power consequent thereon.
Section 7.02. Institution of Legal Proceedings by Bondowner Representative. If one
or more of the Events of Default shall occur, the Bondowner Representative in its discretion
may, and upon the written request of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Bonds
then Outstanding and upon being indemnified to its satisfaction against the costs, expenses and
liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request, the Bondowner Representative shall
(subject to Section 7.08 hereof) proceed to protect or enforce its rights and/or the rights of the
holders of Bonds under the Act or under this Indenture, the Agreement and/or the other Loan
Documents, by foreclosure of the Deed of Trust by exercise of the power of private sale
thereunder or by judicial action, by foreclosure of or other realization upon the security interests
in personal property created pursuant to the Loan Documents by strict foreclosure, judicial
action or other remedies permitted by applicable laws, by a suit in equity or action at law, either
for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained herein or therein, or in aid
of the execution of any power herein or therein granted, or by mandamus or other appropriate
proceeding for the enforcement of any other legal or equitable remedy as the Bondowner
Representative shall deem most effectual in support of any of its rights or duties hereunder;
provided that any such request from the Bondholders shall not be in conflict with any rule of
law or with this Indenture, expose the Bondowner Representative to personal liability or be
unduly prejudicial to Bondholders not joining therein.
Section 7.03. Application of Moneys Collected by Bondowner Representative. Any
moneys collected by the Bondowner Representative pursuant to Section 7.02 shall be applied in
the order following, at the date or dates fixed by the Bondowner Representative and, in the case
of distribution of such moneys on account of principal (or premium, if any) or interest, upon
August 9, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Official Minutes 384
-30-
presentation of the Bonds and stamping thereon the payment, if only partially paid, and upon
surrender thereof, if fully paid:
First: For payment of all amounts due to the Bondowner Representative under
Section 8.06.
Second: For deposit in the Bond Fund (or as otherwise provided in the last
paragraph of Section 5.02) to be applied to payment of the principal of all Bonds then
due and unpaid, the premium (if any) and interest thereon; ratably to the Persons
entitled thereto without discrimination or preference.
Third: For payment of all other amounts due to any Person hereunder or under
the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents (other than payments on the Bonds).
Fourth: To the Borrower.
Section 7.04. Effect of Delay or Omission to Pursue Remedy. No delay or omission of
the Bondowner Representative or of any holder of Bonds to exercise any right or power arising
from any default shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of
any such default or acquiescence therein, and every power and remedy given by this Article VII
to the Bondowner Representative or to the holders of Bonds may be exercised from time to time
and as often as shall be deemed expedient. In case the Bondowner Representative shall have
proceeded to enforce any right under this Indenture, and such proceedings shall have been
discontinued or abandoned because of waiver or for any other reason, or shall have been
determined adversely to the Bondowner Representative, then and in every such case the Issuer,
the Bondowner Representative and the holders of the Bonds, severally and respectively, shall be
restored to their former positions and rights hereunder in respect to the trust estate; and all
remedies, rights and powers of the Issuer, the Bondowner Representative and the holders of the
Bonds shall continue as though no such proceedings had been taken.
Section 7.05. Remedies Cumulative. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to
the Bondowner Representative or to any holder of the Bonds is intended to be exclusive of any
other remedy, but each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to
every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity.
Section 7.06. Covenant to Pay Bonds in Event of Default. The Issuer covenants that,
upon the happening of any Event of Default, the Issuer will pay to the Bondowner
Representative upon demand, but only out of Revenues, for the benefit of the holders of the
Bonds, the whole amount then due and payable thereon (by declaration or otherwise) for
interest or for principal, or both, as the case may be, and all other sums which may be due
hereunder or secured hereby, including reasonable compensation to the Bondowner
Representative, its agents and counsel, and any expenses or liabilities incurred by the
Bondowner Representative hereunder. In case the Issuer shall fail to pay the same forthwith
upon such demand, the Bondowner Representative, in its own name and as trustee of an
express trust, and upon being indemnified to its satisfaction, shall be entitled to institute
proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to recover judgment for
the whole amount due and unpaid, together with costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees, subject,

Indenture the approval of the Issuer or the Borrower is required for any action, and whenever
the Issuer or the Borrower is required to deliver any notice or other writing, such approval or

Representative, and the Issuer, the Bondowner Representative and the Borrower shall be
authorized to act on any such approval or notice or other writing and neither party hereto nor
the Borrower shall have any complaint against the others as a result of any such action taken.
Section 11.08. Evidence of Rights of Bondholders. (a) Any request, consent or other
instrument required by this Indenture to be signed and executed by Bondholders may be in any
number of concurrent writings of substantially similar tenor and may be signed or executed by
such Bondholders in person or by agent or agents duly appointed in writing. Proof of the
execution of any such request, consent or other instrument or of a writing appointing any such
agent, or of the ownership of any Bonds, shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture
and shall be conclusive in favor of the Bondowner Representative and of the Issuer if made in
the manner provided in this Section.

other instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by
the certificate of any notary public or other officer of any jurisdiction, authorized by the laws
thereof to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the person signing such request,
consent or other instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof.

that term is defined in the Indenture), consisting primarily of amounts paid by Tabora Gardens,
L.P., a California limited partnership (the “Borrower”) pursuant to a Loan Agreement, dated the
same date as the date of the Indenture (the “Loan Agreement”), among the Bondowner
Representative, the Issuer and the Borrower, to finance the acquisition and construction of a
multifamily rental housing project by the Borrower in the City of Antioch, California. The loan
of the proceeds of the Bonds under the Loan Agreement (the “Loan”) will be evidenced by a
promissory note (the “Note”) of the Borrower.
The Bonds shall be subject to redemption in accordance with the Indenture. Without
limitation on the generality of the foregoing, the Bonds shall be subject to redemption prior to
maturity, at a price equal to the principal amount of Bonds to be redeemed plus interest accrued
thereon to the date fixed for redemption (a) in whole or in part on any Interest Payment Date,

Loan upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under and as defined in the Loan Agreement;
and (c) in whole or in part on any date from the proceeds of any mandatory prepayment of the

No notice of redemption of Bonds need be given to the registered owners of the Bonds,
and the owner of this Bond, by acceptance hereof, expressly waives any requirement for any
notice of redemption.
If an Event of Default, as defined in the Indenture, shall occur, the principal of all Bonds
may be declared due and payable upon the conditions, in the manner and with the effect
provided in the Indenture. The Indenture provides that in certain events such declaration and
its consequences may be rescinded by the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Bonds then outstanding.
The Bonds are issuable only as fully registered Bonds without coupons in a single
instrument.
This Bond is transferable by the registered owner hereof, in person, or by its attorney
duly authorized in writing, at the Principal Office of the Bondowner Representative, but only in
the manner, subject to the limitations (including those in Section 2.05 of the Indenture) and
upon payment of the charges provided in the Indenture, and upon surrender and cancellation
of this Bond. Upon such transfer a new fully registered Bond will be issued to the transferee in
exchange herefor. The Issuer and the Bondowner Representative may treat the registered
owner hereof as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes, and the Issuer and the Bondowner
Representative shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary. By its acceptance of this Bond,
the registered owner hereof agrees not to sell any participating interests in this Bond, except as
permitted by the Indenture.
The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Issuer and the Bondowner
Representative to execute supplemental indentures adding provisions to, or changing or
eliminating any of the provisions of, the Indenture, subject to the limitations set forth in the

provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall be controlling.
The Issuer hereby certifies that all of the conditions, things and acts required to exist, to
have happened and to have been performed precedent to and in connection with the issuance of
this Bond do exist, have happened and have been performed in due time, form and manner as

Agreement and the Indenture, or the adequacy of the funds pledged to the Bondowner

the requirement for the delivery to the Issuer and the Bondowner Representative of an

Failure to comply with the provisions of Section 2.05 of the Indenture shall cause the

harmless the Issuer with respect to any claim asserted against the Issuer that arises with
respect to any sale, transfer or other disposition of the Bonds by the Purchaser or any
transferee thereof in violation of the provisions of the Indenture.

agreements herein, and if the Issuer and/or Bondowner Representative should fail to perform any
such agreements, Borrower may (subject to the limitations of Section 16.27 hereof) institute such
action against the Issuer and/or Bondowner Representative as Borrower may deem necessary to
compel such performance so long as such action shall not violate Borrower’s agreements in
Section 3.4 or diminish or delay the amounts required to be paid by Borrower pursuant to
Sections 3.3, 3.4 and 3.5. Borrower, however, acknowledges and agrees that any pecuniary
obligation of the Issuer created by or arising out of this Agreement shall be payable solely from

item category as contained on Exhibit C; (ii) pay, through completion, all costs of development,
construction, operation and leasing of the Project in accordance with the Bond Documents and
the Loan Documents; (iii) pay all sums which may become payable under the Loan Documents

shall provide the amount of such deficiency to the Bondowner Representative for deposit into
Borrower’s Funds Account.
5.8 Contractor/Construction Information. Within ten (10) days of Bondowner
Representative’s written request, Borrower shall deliver to Bondowner Representative from time
to time in a form acceptable to Bondowner Representative: (a) a list detailing the name, address

uncompleted work, all as of the date of such schedule.
Borrower agrees that Bondowner Representative may disapprove any contractor,
subcontractor or material supplier which, in Bondowner Representative’s good faith
determination, is deemed financially or otherwise unqualified; provided, however, that the
absence of any such disapproval shall not constitute a warranty or representation of qualification
by Bondowner Representative. Bondowner Representative may contact any such contractor,
subcontractor or material supplier to discuss the course of construction.
5.9 Prohibited Contracts. Without Bondowner Representative’s prior written
consent, Borrower shall not contract for any materials, furnishings, equipment, fixtures or other
parts or components of the Project (other than for vending machines and tenant-serving
electronic communications equipment including cable television or internet equipment), if any
third party shall retain any ownership interest (other than lien rights created by operation of law)
in such items after their delivery to the Property and Project. Borrower shall have five (5) days
to effect the removal of any such retained interest.

their compliance with all governmental requirements, the supervision of the work of
construction, the qualifications, financial condition and performance of all architects, engineers,

5.13 Delay. Borrower shall promptly notify Bondowner Representative in
writing of any event causing more than a thirty (30) day delay or interruption of construction, or
the timely completion of construction. The notice shall specify the particular work delayed, and

requirements of this Agreement, Bondowner Representative may require the work to be
stopped and withhold its consent to further disbursements until the matter is corrected.
If this occurs, Borrower must correct the work to Bondowner Representative’s
satisfaction promptly and, at Bondowner Representative’s request, halt all other work
pending completion of such corrective work. No such action by Bondowner
Representative will affect Borrower’s obligation to complete the Project in accordance
with the Plans and Specifications and on or before the Completion Date.
(b) Bondowner Representative has no duty to visit Project site, to
supervise or observe construction or to examine any books or records. Any site visit,
observation or examination by Bondowner Representative is solely for the purpose of
protecting Bondowner Representative’s rights and interests, and may not be relied upon
by Borrower or by any third party as a representation or warranty of compliance with
this Agreement or any other agreement. No site visit, observation or examination by
Bondowner Representative will impose any liability on Bondowner Representative or
result in a waiver of any default of Borrower or be a representation that Borrower is or
will be in compliance with the Plans and Specifications, that the construction is free
from defective materials or workmanship, or that the construction complies with all
applicable Requirements. Neither Borrower nor any other party is entitled to rely on
any site visit, observation or examination by Bondowner Representative. Bondowner
Representative owes no duty of care to protect Borrower or any other party against, or to
inform Borrower or any other party of, any negligent or defective design or construction

surveys shall be performed and certified by a licensed engineer or surveyor acceptable
to the title insurer.

therefrom and with all restrictive covenants and other title encumbrances encumbering
the Property, including without limitation those contained in the Regulatory Agreement
and other Restrictions (all collectively, the “Requirements”).
(b) Borrower shall pay all expenses of the operation and maintenance
of the Project including, but without limitation, adequate insurance thereon and
insurance against all liability for injury to persons or property arising from the operation
thereof, and all taxes and special assessments levied upon or with respect to the Project
and payable during the term of this Agreement, all in conformance with and subject to
any good faith contest provisions provided in the Deed of Trust.
(c) In the event Borrower shall fail to maintain, or cause to be
maintained, the full insurance coverage required by this Agreement or shall fail to keep
the Project in good repair and good operating condition and make all necessary repairs
and replacements to the Project, the Bondowner Representative may, after providing
Borrower with reasonable notice and the opportunity to remedy the problem(s)
identified by Bondowner Representative, but shall be under no obligation to, contract
for the required policies of insurance and pay the premiums on the same or make any
required repairs, renewals and replacements; and Borrower agrees to reimburse the
Issuer or the Bondowner Representative to the extent of the amounts so advanced, and
in addition shall pay interest on any such amount at the Default Rate from the date such
amount was advanced until the date such amount was repaid or reimbursed by
Borrower.
(d) Borrower shall obtain or cause to be obtained all necessary
permits and approvals for the operation and maintenance of the Project and shall comply
with all applicable lawful requirements of any governmental body regarding the use or
condition of the Project, whether existing or later enacted or whether involving any
change in governmental policy or requiring structural or other changes to part or all of
the Project and irrespective of the cost of making the same.
(e) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5.15, Borrower
may in good faith contest the validity or the applicability of any law, ordinance, rule or
regulation provided that during the period of such contest and any appeal therefrom,
(i) such failure to comply with such requirement or requirements will not adversely
affect the lien of the Deed of Trust or materially endanger such liens or the Project or
any part thereof, (ii) will not subject the Project or any part thereof to loss or forfeiture
and (iii) Borrower will post with the Bondowner Representative, for the benefit of the
Holder, cash, a bond or other reasonably acceptable security in an amount equal to

and certain of the other Loan Documents, the Holder or the Bondowner Representative may, but
shall be under no obligation to, take certain action and make certain advances relating to the

expressly provided therein, and Borrower shall be obligated to repay all such advances on
demand with interest from the date such payment was originally advanced until repaid or
reimbursed by Borrower at the Default Rate.
5.17 Alterations to the Project and Removal of Equipment. Without the
reasonable consent of Bondowner Representative, Borrower shall not remodel or make any
additions, modifications, alterations, or changes to the Project (collectively referred to as
“alterations”) in or to the Project, or remove any equipment therefrom other than in the ordinary
course of business in the operation of the Project. Notwithstanding the provisions of the Deed of
Trust, no such alteration or removal will be made if to do so would impair the character of the
Project as a “project” within the meaning of the Act, or impair the exclusion of interest on the
Bonds from gross income for federal income tax purposes.
5.18 Construction Schedule. If, based on any construction progress schedule or
other materials submitted by Borrower, Bondowner Representative in its reasonable judgment
determines that the Project will not be completed by the Completion Date, Bondowner
Representative may request Borrower in writing to reschedule the work of construction to permit
timely completion. In addition, if Bondowner Representative in its reasonable judgment
determines that any building constituting the Project will not be “placed in service” (within the
meaning of Section 42 of the Code) by the Completion Date, Bondowner Representative may
request Borrower in writing to reschedule the work of construction. Within fifteen (15) days
after receiving such a request from Bondowner Representative, Borrower must deliver to
Bondowner Representative a revised construction progress schedule showing completion of the
Project by the Completion Date. As a condition to any agreement to extend the Completion Date,
Bondowner Representative may require Borrower to confirm by evidence satisfactory to
Bondowner Representative that such extension will not have any adverse effect upon the
availability of the Tax Credits for the Project.

good standing, as applicable, all rights, privileges and franchises necessary or desirable for the
operation of the Property and the conduct of Borrower’s business thereon or therefrom.

including landscaping portions thereof (if any), in good condition and repair, (ii) promptly make
all necessary structural and non-structural repairs to the Project (or cause tenants under any

connection with any improvement or construction activities.

to be paid any Imposition so long as (d) its validity is being actively contested in good faith and

otherwise impair Bondowner Representative’s interests under the Loan Documents and (f) if
Bondowner Representative shall so request, Borrower has furnished Bondowner Representative
with a bond or other security satisfactory to Bondowner Representative in an amount not less

or Borrower’s business or other properties, and deliver to Bondowner Representativ e from time

-44-
of any kind that might subject Borrower to liability in excess of $50,000.00, whether
covered by insurance or not;
(b) any aspect of the Project that is not in conformity with the Plans

Representative in writing and the inchoate liens securing the payment of taxes and assessments
not delinquent. Borrower acknowledges that, with any project of the magnitude of the Project,
modifications of the Plans and Specifications and Loan Documents may be necessary from time

6.8 Prohibition of Transfer. Borrower represents, agrees and acknowledges
that:
(i) Development of real property is a highly complex activity
which requires substantial knowledge of law and business conditions and practices,
and an ability to control, coordinate and schedule the many factors affecting such
development. Experience, financial stability, managerial ability and a good
reputation in the business community enhance a developer’s ability to obtain
market rents (or maximum permissible rents pursuant to the Regulatory
Agreement and other Restrictions) and/or sales prices and to induce cooperation
in scheduling and are taken into account by Bondowner Representative in
approving loan applications.
(ii) Borrower has represented to Bondowner Representative,
not only in the representations and warranties contained in the Loan Documents,
but also in its initial credit application and in all of the negotiations connected
with the Loan, certain facts concerning Borrower’s financial stability, managerial
and operational ability, reputation, skill, and credit worthiness. Bondowner
Representative has relied upon these representations and warranties as a substantial
and material consideration in its decision to enter into this Agreement.
(iii) The conditions and terms provided in this Agreement were
induced by these representations and warranties and would not have been made
available by Bondowner Representative in the absence of these representations
and warranties.
(iv) Borrower’s financial stability and managerial and
operational ability and that of those persons or entities having a direct or
beneficial interest in Borrower are a substantial and material consideration to any
third parties who have entered or will enter into agreements with Borrower.
(v) Bondowner Representative has relied upon the skills and
services offered by such third parties and the provision of such skills and services
is jeopardized if Borrower breaches its covenants contained below regarding
transfers.
(vi) Except as otherwise permitted under Section 6.8(b) and
except for leases described in Section 6.16, a transfer of possession of or title to
the Property, or a change in the person or entity operating, developing,
constructing or managing the Property would substantially increase the risk of
Default under the Loan Documents and significantly and materially impair and
reduce Bondowner Representative’s security for the obligations under this
Agreement.
(b) In consideration of Bondowner Representative’s induced reliance
on such representations, warranties and agreements, Borrower shall not make any
transfer prohibited by Section 5.12 of the Deed of Trust. Bondowner Representative
August 9, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Official Minutes 458
100167627
Loan No. 1016078
-46-
acknowledges that Borrower has granted or may grant an option and a right of first
refusal with respect to transfers of the Project to the General Partner or Developer. The
grant of such option and/or right of first refusal shall not constitute a violation of this
Section 6.8, but any purchase of the Project pursuant to such option or right of first
refusal without Bondowner Representative’s prior consent shall constitute a violation of
this Section 6.8 unless such purchase is permitted pursuant to Section 5.12 of the Deed
of Trust.
(c) Without the prior written consent of Bondowner Representative,
Borrower shall not assign Borrower’s interest under any of the Bond Documents or
Loan Documents, or in any monies due or to become due thereunder, and any
assignment without such consent shall be void.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents to the contrary:
(i) Investor Limited Partner shall be permitted to remove the
general partner of Borrower for cause and substitute a new general partner in its
place in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Partnership Agreement;
provided, however, that (A) Investor Limited Partner shall obtain the prior written
consent of Bondowner Representative to such removal and substitution, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, provided further, however, that
Bondowner Representative consent shall not be required if the Investor Limited
Partner or an entity that controls, is controlled by, or is under common control
with the Investor Limited Partner is the substitute general partner; (B) Investor
Limited Partner shall have obtained the written consent of any Subordinate
Lender, if required pursuant to its applicable Subordinate Loan Documents, to
such removal and substitution and the agreement of such Subordinate Lender that
its obligations shall be unaffected notwithstanding such removal and substitution;
(C) the substitute general partner is admitted no later than sixty (60) days after the
date of removal of the general partner or such longer period of time as to which
Bondowner Representative may consent, and (D) the substitute general partner
shall execute and deliver to Bondowner Representative such documents as
Bondowner Representative may reasonably require in order to evidence its
assumption of all of the rights and obligations of the removed general partner
under all of the Loan Documents. It shall be deemed reasonable for Bondowner
Representative to withhold consent to a substitute general partner if any
Subordinate Lender does not give its required consent and agreement pursuant to
the terms of its applicable Subordinate Loan Documents; and
(ii) Investor Limited Partner may make a Permitted Transfer of
its limited partnership interests in Borrower upon satisfaction of the requirements
for a "Permitted Transfer" set forth in the definition thereof in Section 1.1 hereof.
Bondowner Representative acknowledges that Investor Limited Partner has
granted or may grant an option and a right of first refusal with respect to transfers
of its limited partnership interests in Borrower to the General Partner or
Developer. The grant of such option and/or right of first refusal shall not
August 9, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Official Minutes 459
100167627
Loan No. 1016078
-47-
constitute a violation of this Section 6.8, but any transfer of such limited
partnership interests pursuant to such option or right of first refusal without
Bondowner Representative’s prior consent shall constitute a violation of this
Section 6.8 unless such transfer is permitted pursuant to Section 5.12 of the Deed
of Trust.
6.9 Management of Property In accordance with the Management Agreement,
the Property Manager shall provide management, leasing and operation services for the Project.
Borrower shall not substitute the Property Manager or amend the Management Agreement,
without the prior written consent of Bondowner Representative.
6.10 Income to be Applied to Debt Service. Prior to distributing any portion of
the same to any partner of Borrower, Borrower shall apply all Gross Operating Income from the
Property and the Project to the payment of (a) amounts currently payable under this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents, (b) amounts currently payable under the Subordinate Loans, and
(c) expenses of construction and operation of the Property (including any development fee to the
extent payment of such development fee is allowed pursuant to the Disbursement Plan attached
to this Agreement).
6.11 Proceeds of the Capital Contributions. With the exception of the Initial
Capital Contribution which may be used by Borrower towards costs of construction of the
Project or other Project Costs (including due diligence fees of Investor Limited Partner), none of
the proceeds of the Capital Contributions shall be used for any purpose other than payment of
(a) amounts payable under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (b) amounts payable
under the Subordinate Loans, to the extent approved by Bondowner Representative, and
(c) expenses of construction and operation of the Property (including any development fee to the
extent payment of such development fee is allowed pursuant to the Disbursement Plan attached
to this Agreement), unless Bondowner Representative consents in writing to such other use.
Further, Borrower covenants and agrees that Borrower will comply and cause General Partner to
comply with all obligations and requirements under the Partnership Documents necessary to
cause the Tax Credit Investor to timely fund all Capital Contributions until all sums owing to
Bondowner Representative under the Loan Documents have been paid in full.
6.12 Regulatory Agreement Compliance. Borrower shall provide to Bondowner
Representative an annual certification of compliance with all applicable provisions of the
Regulatory Agreement and Section 42 of the Code.
6.13 Subordinate Loans. Borrower shall deliver to Bondowner Representative

cause the Property and Improvements to comply with all applicable terms and conditions of the
documents that evidence and secure the Subordinate Loans and shall provide Bondowner
Representative with such verification of that compliance from time to time as reasonably
requested by Bondowner Representative.

or perform its obligations under this Agreement.
6.25 Status of Borrower.
(a) Throughout the term of this Agreement, Borrower will maintain

Project or a “related person”) to become includable in gross income for federal income
tax purposes.
(c) Upon any change in the status of Borrower, by way of
substitution, sale or otherwise of Borrower, the Issuer shall be promptly informed and, if
requested, Borrower as newly constituted shall deliver to the Issuer and the Bondholders

thereunder, the requirements of TCAC or the requirements of the welfare exemption. After any
change to the Partnership Agreement, whether it requires Bondowner Representative's consent or
not, Borrower shall promptly provide a revised version thereof to Bondowner Representative.
Further, during the term of the Loan, General Partner shall not jeopardize in a material way the
Property or the financial viability of Borrower by (i) violating its fiduciary responsibilities under
the Partnership Agreement, or (ii) willfully violating any law, regulation or order applicable to
Borrower, if such violations are not remedied or cured as permitted in the time frames provided
under the Partnership Agreement. Borrower shall notify Bondowner Representative and upon
Bondowner Representative's reasonable request, shall promptly deliver to Bondowner

follows: (a) that Borrower will not take or permit any action to be taken that would adversely
affect either the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of the interest on

to rescind such action promptly upon having knowledge thereof; and (b) that Borrower will take
such action or actions, including amending the Loan and this Agreement, as determined
reasonably necessary in the opinion of Bond Counsel to comply fully with all applicable rules,
rulings, policies, procedures, regulations or other official statements promulgated or proposed by
the United States Department of the Treasury or the Internal Revenue Service under the Code.

Borrower further covenants and agrees that it will direct all investments in compliance with the

pay to the Bondowner Representative any amounts owing to the United States as rebatable
arbitrage in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Tax Certificate.
6.29 Incorporation of Tax Certificate. The covenants, representations,
warranties and agreements of Borrower set forth in the Tax Certificate are incorporated by
reference herein as if fully set forth herein.
6.30 Loss of Tax Exclusion. Borrower understands that the interest rates
provided under the Note and this Agreement have been established on the assumption that
interest paid on the Bonds will be excludable from the Bondholders’ gross income under
Section 103 of the Code and applicable State law. In the event that (i) Borrower receives notice
from Bondowner Representative that Bondowner Representative has discovered any facts or
circumstances that Bond Counsel determines would cause interest paid on the Bonds not to be
tax-exempt; or (ii) any Bondholder receives a final determination from the Internal Revenue
Service or other Governmental Authority that interest payable on the Bonds is not tax-exempt,
then the Effective Rate on the Note shall be increased to the Default Rate. In the event of an
increase in the Effective Rate under this Section 6.30, Borrower shall pay to the Bondholders
promptly upon demand an amount sufficient to adjust previous payments of interest to the
increased rate for any and all periods during which the Bonds are deemed to have not been tax-
exempt. BORROWER SHALL ALSO INDEMNIFY, DEFEND AND HOLD ISSUER AND
BONDOWNER REPRESENTATIVE HARMLESS FROM ANY PENALTIES, INTEREST
EXPENSE OR OTHER COSTS, INCLUDING REASONABLE ATTORNEYS’ FEES
(INCLUDING ALL CHARGES OF ISSUER’S AND BONDOWNER REPRESENTATIVE’S
INTERNAL AND TAX COUNSEL) AND ACCOUNTANTS’ COSTS, RESULTING FROM
ANY DISPUTE WITH THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE CONCERNING THE
EXCLUSION FROM GROSS INCOME FOR FEDERAL INCOME TAX PURPOSES OF
INTEREST ON THE BONDS AND THE INTEREST PAYABLE TO ANY BONDHOLDER
ON THE BONDS, AND UPON RECEIPT BY BONDOWNER REPRESENTATIVE OF THE
AMOUNTS SET FORTH IN THE FOREGOING INDEMNITY, BONDOWNER
REPRESENTATIVE SHALL ASSIGN TO BORROWER ANY CLAIMS IT MAY HAVE
AGAINST THIRD PARTIES FOR NEGLIGENT ACTS OR OMISSIONS IN CONNECTION
WITH THE FAILURE OF INTEREST ON THE BONDS TO BE EXCLUDABLE FROM
GROSS INCOME FOR FEDERAL INCOME TAX PURPOSES. THE ISSUER SHALL HAVE
THE RIGHT TO ENTER INTO CLOSING AGREEMENTS WITH THE INTERNAL
REVENUE SERVICE IN THE ISSUER’S SOLE DISCRETION, AND ANY LIABILITY
ARISING UNDER SUCH CLOSING AGREEMENTS SHALL BE PAID BY BORROWER.
THE OBLIGATIONS OF BORROWER UNDER THIS PARAGRAPH SHALL SURVIVE
TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT AND REPAYMENT OF THE LOAN.
6.31 Taxes, Regulatory Costs and Reserve Percentages. Upon Bondowner
Representative’s demand, Borrower shall pay to Bondowner Representative, in addition to all
other amounts which may be, or become, due and payable under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents, any and all Taxes and Regulatory Costs, to the extent they are not internalized
by calculation of an Effective Rate. Further, at Bondowner Representative’s option, the
Effective Rate shall be automatically adjusted by adjusting the Reserve Percentage, as
August 9, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Official Minutes 468
100167627
Loan No. 1016078
-56-
determined by Bondowner Representative in its prudent banking judgment, from the date of
imposition (or subsequent date selected by Bondowner Representative) of any such Regulatory
Costs. Bondowner Representative shall give Borrower notice of any Taxes and Regulatory Costs
as soon as practicable after their occurrence, but Borrower shall be liable for any Taxes and
Regulatory Costs regardless of whether or when notice is so given.
6.32 Amendment of Regulatory Agreement. Borrower shall not suffer or permit
to become effective any restrictions (including, without limitation, any “automatic” amendment
of the Regulatory Agreement pursuant to its terms) which imposes requirements with respect to
the occupancy, leasing or operation of the Project which are materially more burdensome than
those contained in the Regulatory Agreement as of the date of this Agreement, without first
obtaining the consent of Bondowner Representative to the imposition of such restriction, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld in connection with an “automatic” amendment of the
Regulatory Agreement pursuant to its terms.
6.33 Tax Covenants. Borrower shall comply with the requirements and
conditions of the Tax Certificate and the Regulatory Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing
and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Borrower will not take, or
permit to be taken on its behalf, any action which would cause interest on the Bonds to be
included in gross income for federal income tax purposes and will take such reasonable action as
may be necessary to continue such exclusion from gross income, including:
(a) Borrower will not use the proceeds of the Bonds, or any other
funds which may be deemed to be proceeds of the Bonds pursuant to Section 148 of the
Code, in the manner which will cause the Bonds to be “arbitrage bonds” within the
meaning of such section, and will comply with the requirements of such
Section throughout the term of the Bonds;
(b) Borrower will prepare and file any statements required to be filed
by it in order to maintain such exclusion;
(c) Borrower will pay to the United States any amount required to be
paid by the Issuer or Borrower pursuant to Section 148(f) of the Code, at the times, in
the amounts and at the places required in order to maintain the exclusion of interest on
the Bonds from gross income for federal income tax purposes, and Borrower shall
compute, or cause to be computed, such amounts annually until the earlier of (i) the
maturity date of the Bonds or (ii) the date on which no Bonds remain outstanding;

Bonds (within the meaning of Section 142(a) of the Code) shall be used to pay Qualified
Project Costs;
(e) in order to satisfy the requirements set forth in subpart (4) of the
definition of “program investment” that appears in Section 1.148 1(b) of the Treasury
Regulations (which requirements must be met in order for the Loan to qualify as a
program investment within the meaning of that section), neither Borrower nor any
related person will purchase Bonds in an amount related to the amount of the Loan;

Loan No. 1016078
-57-
(f) no changes will be made to the Project, no actions will be taken
by Borrower, and Borrower will not omit to take any actions, which will in any way
adversely affect the tax exempt status of the interest on the Bonds;
(g) if Borrower becomes aware of any circumstance, event or
condition which would result in the interest payable on the Bonds becoming includable
in gross income for federal income tax purposes, Borrower will promptly give written
notice of such circumstance, event or condition to the Issuer and the Bondowner
Representative;
(h) the full amount of each disbursement from the Loan will be
applied to pay or to reimburse Borrower for the payment of Project Costs and, after

which satisfies the requirements of the Act, the Code, the Regulatory Agreement and the
other Restrictions;
(j) all leases for the Project will comply with all applicable laws and
the Regulatory Agreement;
(k) in connection with any lease or grant by Borrower of the use of
the Project, Borrower will require that the lessee or user of any portion of the Project not
use that portion of the Project in any manner which would violate the covenants set
forth in this Agreement, the Regulatory Agreement or the other Restrictions;
(l) no portion of the proceeds of the portion of the Loan shall be used
to provide any airplane, skybox or other private luxury box, health club facility, facility
primarily used for gambling, or store the principal business of which is the sale of
alcoholic beverages for consumption off premises, and no portion of the proceeds of the
Loan shall be used for an office unless (i) the office is located on the premises of the
facilities constituting the Project and (ii) not more than a de minimus amount of the
functions to be performed at such office is not related to the day-to-day operations of the
Project;
(m) no proceeds of the Bonds will be used, for the acquisition of any
tangible property or an interest therein, other than land or an interest in land, unless the
first use of such property was pursuant to such acquisition; provided, however, that this

encumbrance of any nature whatsoever upon any of the property or assets of Borrower.
No consent or approval of any trustee or holder of any indebtedness of the Borrower,

sky” laws) is necessary in connection with the execution and delivery of the Bond

hereof or thereof, except as have been obtained or made and as are in full force and

operations of Borrower, and Borrower is not in default (and no event has occurred and is
continuing which with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both could
constitute a default) with respect to any order or decree of any court or any order,
regulation or demand of any federal, state, municipal or other governmental authority,
which default would affect the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the
Bond Documents and the Loan Documents, or the financial condition, assets, properties
or operations of Borrower. All tax returns (federal, state and local) required to be filed
by or on behalf of Borrower have been filed, and all taxes shown thereon to be due,
including interest and penalties, except such, if any, as are being actively contested by
Borrower in good faith in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement, have
been paid or adequate reserves have been made for the payment thereof which reserves,
if any, are reflected in the audited financial statements described therein. Borrower
enjoys the peaceful and undisturbed possession of all of the premises upon which it is

(g) Financial Condition. All financial statements and information
heretofore delivered to Bondowner Representative by Borrower, including, without
limitation, information relating to the financial condition of Borrower, the Project, the
partners, joint venturers or members of Borrower, and/or any Guarantor, fairly and
accurately represent the financial condition of the subject thereof and have been
prepared (except as noted therein) in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles consistently applied. Notwithstanding the use of generally accepted
accounting principles, the calculation of liabilities shall NOT include any fair value
adjustments to the carrying value of liabilities to record such liabilities at fair value
pursuant to electing the fair value option election under FASB ASC 825-10-25
(formerly known as FAS 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities) or other FASB standards allowing entities to elect fair value
option for financial liabilities. Therefore, the amount of liabilities shall be the historical

accretion of any premium or discount. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that
Bondowner Representative may request and obtain additional information from third
parties regarding any of the above, including, without limitation, credit reports.

adverse change in the financial condition of Borrower and/or any of the Guarantor or the
General Partner since the dates of the latest financial statements furnished to Bondowner
Representative and, except as otherwise disclosed to Bondowner Representative in
writing, Borrower has not entered into any material transaction which is not disclosed in
such financial statements. No written information, exhibit or report furnished to the
Issuer or Bondowner Representative by Borrower in connection with the negotiation of
the Bond Documents and the Loan Documents contains any untrue statement of a
material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading.

the Loan and the Subordinate Loans, together with the Capital Contributions of Investor

the other Loan Documents.

forms of evidence delivered to Bondowner Representative by Borrower concerning the
Loan or security for the Loan or required by the Loan Documents are accurate, correct
and complete and give Bondowner Representative true, accurate and complete
knowledge of their subject matter and do not contain any material misrepresentation or
omission.

respect to any such taxes and assessments.

(“Reservation Letter”) dated ____________, Borrower has received a reservation for the
Project from TCAC for Federal Tax Credits in the amount of $_______.00 annually for
each of ten (10) years. Borrower shall completely and in a timely manner perform all
actions and meet all requirements to maintain and perfect the reservation and Tax Credit
allocation, including: (a) timely furnishing to TCAC all of the items required to be
furnished to it in order to prevent the expiration of the reservation; and (b) placing the
Project in service within the time period prescribed by the Code. If Bondowner

meet the TCAC requirement to place the project “in service” as set forth in the

of Tax Credits within all time limits and requirements as established by TCAC. Failure
to do so is a Default pursuant to Article 15 of this Agreement.

(a) Whenever any Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the

under the Loan payable for the remainder of its term (in an amount equal to that

Bonds under the Indenture and to pay all other indebtedness due under this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents) to be immediately due and payable, whereupon the
same shall become immediately due and payable by Borrower.
(b) Whenever any Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any
one or more of the following remedial steps may also be taken to the extent permitted by
law:
(i) the Bondowner Representative, as assignee of the Issuer,
shall take whatever action at law or in equity as it determines to be appropriate to
collect all sums then due and thereafter to become due, or to enforce performance
and observance of any obligation, agreement, covenant, representation or
warranty of Borrower, under this Agreement or any Other Related Document, or
to foreclose on the Property and improvements and/or personal property security
for such obligations, or to otherwise compensate the Issuer, the Bondowner
Representative and the Bondholders for any damages on account of such Default;
and
(ii) the Issuer (without the prior written consent of the
Bondowner Representative if the Bondowner Representative is not enforcing the
Issuer’s rights in a manner to protect the Issuer or is otherwise taking action that
brings adverse consequences to the Issuer), may take whatever action at law or in
equity may appear necessary or appropriate to enforce its rights to
indemnification under Section 6.23, 6.30, 9.4, 15.5 and 16.30 and to collect all
sums then due and thereafter to become due to the Issuer under Sections 3.3(b)

would prejudice the rights of the Bondowner Representative.

remedies are cumulative. If any Default occurs, Issuer’s obligation to lend and
Bondowner Representative’s obligation to consent to disbursements of proceeds of the
August 9, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Official Minutes 493
100167627
Loan No. 1016078
-81-
Bonds under the Loan Documents automatically terminate, and Bondowner
Representative in its sole discretion may withhold any one or more disbursements.
Bondowner Representative may also withhold any one or more disbursements after an
event occurs that, with notice or the passage of time, could become a Default. No
disbursement of proceeds of the Bonds by Bondowner Representative will cure any
default of Borrower, unless Bondowner Representative agrees otherwise in writing in
each instance.
(d) If Borrower becomes the subject of any Insolvency Proceeding,
all of Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents automatically become
immediately due and payable upon the filing of the petition commencing such
proceeding, all without notice of default, presentment or demand for payment, protest or
notice of nonpayment or dishonor, or other notices or demands of any kind or character.
Upon the occurrence of any other Default, all of Borrower’s obligations under the Loan
Documents may become due and payable immediately without notice of default,
presentment or demand for payment, protest or notice of nonpayment or dishonor or
other notices or demands of any kind or character, all at Bondowner Representative’s
option, exercisable in its sole discretion. If such acceleration occurs, Bondowner
Representative may apply any undisbursed Loan funds to Borrower’s obligations under
the Loan Documents, in any order and proportions in Bondowner Representative’s sole
discretion.
(e) Also upon any Default that occurs during the course of
construction of the Project, Bondowner Representative in its sole discretion may enter
and take possession of the Project, whether in person, by agent or by court-appointed
receiver, and take any and all actions that Bondowner Representative in its sole
discretion may consider necessary to complete construction of the Project, including
making changes in plans, specifications, work or materials and entering into, modifying
or terminating any contractual arrangements, all subject to Bondowner Representative’s
right at any time to discontinue any work without liability. By choosing to complete the
construction of the Project, Bondowner Representative does not assume any liability to
Borrower or any other person for completing them or for the manner or quality of their
construction, and Borrower expressly waives any such liability. If Bondowner
Representative exercises any of the rights or remedies provided in this clause (e), that
exercise will not make Bondowner Representative, or cause Bondowner Representative
to be deemed, a partner or joint venturer of Borrower. Bondowner Representative in its
sole discretion may choose to complete construction in its own name. All sums
expended by Bondowner Representative in completing construction will be considered
to have been disbursed to Borrower and will be secured by the Deed of Trust and any
other collateral held by Bondowner Representative in connection with the Loan; any
sums of principal will be considered to be an additional loan to Borrower bearing
interest at the Default Rate, and be secured by the Deed of Trust and any other collateral
held by Bondowner Representative in connection with the Loan. For these purposes
Bondowner Representative, in its sole discretion, may reallocate any line item or cost
category of the cost breakdown.

indemnification and certain direct payments to be made under Sections 3.3(b), 3.4, 6.23, 6.30,

the Issuer or the Bondowner Representative is intended to be exclusive of any other available
remedy or remedies, but each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition
to every other remedy given under this Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law or in
equity or by statute. No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon any
Default shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver thereof, but any
such right and power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed
expedient. In order to entitle the Issuer or the Bondowner Representative to exercise any remedy
reserved to it in this Article, it shall not be necessary to give any notice, other than such notice as
may be herein expressly required or as may be required by law.
15.5 Attorneys’ Fees and Expenses. If a Default shall exist under this
Agreement and the Issuer or the Bondowner Representative employ attorneys or incur other
expenses for the collection of any amounts due hereunder, or for the enforcement of performance
of any obligation or agreement on the part of Borrower, Borrower shall upon demand pay to the
Issuer or the Bondowner Representative, as the case may be, the reasonable fees of such
attorneys and such other expenses so incurred.
15.6 Effect of Waiver. In the event any agreement contained in this Agreement
is breached by either party and thereafter such breach is waived by the other party, such waiver
shall be limited to the particular breach so waived and shall not be deemed to waive any other

the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to Borrower or the
property of Borrower, the Bondowner Representative or the Issuer (with the prior consent of the
Bondowner Representative), shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such
proceeding or otherwise:
(a) to file and prove a claim and to file such other papers or
documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Issuer
and the Bondowner Representative (including any claim for the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Issuer and Bondowner
Representative, their agents and counsel) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and
(b) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or
deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute the same.
15.8 Restoration of Positions. If the Issuer or the Bondowner Representative has
instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Agreement, and such
August 9, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Official Minutes 495
100167627
Loan No. 1016078
-83-
proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined
adversely to the Issuer or the Bondowner Representative, then and in every such case Borrower,
the Bondowner Representative and the Issuer shall, subject to any determination in the
proceeding, be restored to the positions they held prior to commencement of such proceedings,
and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Issuer and the Bondowner Representative shall
continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.
15.9 Suits To Protect the Project. If Borrower shall fail to do so after thirty (30)
days prior written notice from the Issuer or the Bondowner Representative, the Issuer or the
Bondowner Representative shall have power to institute and to maintain such proceedings as
either of them may deem expedient to prevent any impairment of the Project or any portion
thereof, by any acts which may be unlawful or in violation of this Agreement, and such suits and
proceedings as the Issuer or the Bondowner Representative may deem expedient to protect its
interests in the Project or any portion thereof, including power to institute and maintain
proceedings to restrain the enforcement of or compliance with any governmental enactment, rule
or order that may be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid, if the enforcement of, or compliance
with, such enactment, rule or order would impair or adversely affect the Project or be prejudicial
to the interests of the Bondowner Representative.
15.10 Performance by Third Parties. The Bondowner Representative or the
Issuer, with the consent of the Bondowner Representative, may permit third parties to perform
any and all acts or take such action as may be necessary for and on behalf of Borrower to cure
any Default hereunder. The acceptance by the Issuer or the Bondowner Representative of any
such performance by third parties shall not in any way diminish or absolve Borrower of primary
liability hereunder.
15.11 Investor’s Notice and Cure Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in the Loan Documents, Bondowner Representative hereby agrees that any
cure of any default made or tendered by one or more of Borrower’s limited partners within the
time for cure required in the Loan Documents shall be deemed to be a cure by Borrower and
shall be accepted or rejected on the same basis as if made by Borrower. Bondowner
Representative shall deliver to Tax Credit Investor copies of all notices of default delivered by
Bondowner Representative to Borrower under the Loan Documents.
15.12 Exercise of the Issuer’s Remedies by Bondowner Representative.
Whenever any Default shall have happened and be existing, the Bondowner Representative may,
but except as otherwise provided in the Indenture shall not be obligated to, exercise any or all of

16.5 Attorney-in-Fact. Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes
Bondowner Representative, as Borrower’s attorney-in-fact, which agency is coupled with an

Loan Documents; and (b) Borrower deposits with Bondowner Representative any funds or other
forms of assurance which Bondowner Representative in good faith determines from time to time
appropriate to protect Bondowner Representative from the consequences of the contest being
unsuccessful. Borrower’s compliance with this Section shall operate to prevent such claim,
demand, levy or assessment from becoming a Default.

or Project, except as expressly provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
16.9 Delay Outside Bondowner Representative’s Control. Bondowner
Representative shall not be liable in any way to Borrower or any third party for Bondowner
Representative’s failure to perform or delay in performing under the Loan Documents (and
Bondowner Representative may suspend or terminate all or any portion of Bondowner
Representative’s obligations under the Loan Documents) if such failure to perform or delay in
performing results directly or indirectly from, or is based upon, the action, inaction, or purported
action, of any governmental or local authority, or because of war, rebellion, insurrection, strike,
lock-out, boycott or blockade (whether presently in effect, announced or in the sole judgment of
Bondowner Representative deemed probable), or from any Act of God or other cause or event
beyond Bondowner Representative’s control.
16.10 Attorneys’ Fees and Expenses; Enforcement. If any attorney is engaged by
any party to this Agreement to enforce or defend any provision of this Agreement, any of the
other Loan Documents or Other Related Documents, or as a consequence of any Default under

other Loan Documents shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable, that provision shall be deemed severed from the Loan Documents and

full force as though the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision had never been a part of the
Loan Documents, provided, however, that if the rate of interest or any other amount payable
under the Note or this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the right of collectibility
therefor, are declared to be or become invalid, illegal or unenforceable, Bondowner
Representative’s obligations to make advances under the Loan Documents shall not be
enforceable by Borrower.
16.17 Time. Time is of the essence of each and every term of this Agreement.
16.18 Headings. All Article, Section or other headings appearing in this

Representative under the Loan Documents consent to the jurisdiction of any federal or State

authorized by State or federal law.
16.20 Integration; Interpretation. The Loan Documents contain or expressly
incorporate by reference the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the matters
contemplated therein and supersede all prior negotiations or agreements, written or oral. The

to be obtained from Borrower, the Issuer or the Bondowner Representative shall be in writing
and shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

Bondowner Representative or the Issuer or any limited partner, director, officer, agent or
employee of Borrower shall be individually or personally liable for the payment of any principal
(or redemption price) or interest on the Bonds or any other sum hereunder or be subject to any
personal liability or accountability by reason of the execution and delivery of this Agreement;
but nothing herein contained shall relieve any such limited partner, member, director, officer,
agent or employee from the performance of any official duty provided by law or by this
Agreement. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the Issuer’s sole source of moneys to repay
the Bonds will be provided by the payments made by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement,
together with investment income on certain funds and accounts held by the Bondowner
Representative pursuant to this Agreement and the Indenture, and hereby agrees that if the
payments to be made hereunder shall ever prove insufficient to pay all principal of or interest on
the Bonds as the same shall become due, whether by maturity, redemption, acceleration or
otherwise, then upon notice from the Bondholder, the Borrower shall pay such amounts as are
required from time to time to prevent any deficiency or default in the payment of such principal
or interest, including, but not limited to any deficiency caused by acts, omissions, nonfeasance or
malfeasance on the part of the Bondholder, the Borrower, the Issuer or any third party, as the
case may be.
16.27 No Waiver; Consents. No alleged waiver by Bondowner Representative or
Issuer will be effective unless in writing, and no waiver will be construed as a continuing waiver.
No waiver may be implied from any delay or failure by Bondowner Representative or Issuer to
take action on account of any default of Borrower or to exercise any right or remedy against
Borrower or any security. Consent by Bondowner Representative or Issuer to any act or
omission by Borrower may not be construed as a consent to any other or subsequent act or
omission or as a waiver of the requirement for Bondowner Representative’s or the Issuer’s
consent to be obtained in any future or other instance. All rights and remedies of Bondowner
Representative and the Issuer, respectively, are cumulative.
16.28 Purpose and Effect of Bondowner Representative Approval. Bondowner
Representative’s approval of any matter in connection with the Loan is for the sole purpose of
protecting the Issuer’s security and rights of Bondowner Representative and the Bondholders.
No such approval will result in a waiver of any default of Borrower. In no event may
August 9, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Official Minutes 501
100167627
Loan No. 1016078
-89-
Bondowner Representative’s approval be a representation of any kind with regard to the matter
being approved.
16.29 No Commitment to Increase Loan. From time to time, Bondowner
Representative may approve changes to the Plans and Specifications at Borrower’s request and
also require Borrower to make corrections to the work of construction, all on and subject to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement. Borrower acknowledges that no such action or other
action by Bondowner Representative will in any manner commit or obligate the Issuer or
Bondowner Representative to increase the amount of the Loan.
16.30 INDEMNITY REGARDING CONSTRUCTION AND OTHER RISKS.
BORROWER INDEMNIFIES, DEFENDS AND HOLDS THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES
HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL LIABILITIES DIRECTLY OR
INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RESULTING FROM CONSTRUCTION OF ANY
PROJECT ON THE PROPERTY, INCLUDING ANY DEFECTIVE WORKMANSHIP OR
MATERIALS; OR ANY FAILURE TO SATISFY ANY REQUIREMENTS OF ANY LAWS,
REGULATIONS, ORDINANCES, GOVERNMENTAL POLICIES OR STANDARDS,
REPORTS, SUBDIVISION MAPS OR DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS THAT APPLY OR
PERTAIN TO THE PROPERTY; OR BREACH OF ANY REPRESENTATION OR
WARRANTY MADE OR GIVEN BY BORROWER TO ANY OF THE INDEMNIFIED
PARTIES OR TO ANY PROSPECTIVE OR ACTUAL BUYER OF ALL OR ANY PORTION
OF THE PROPERTY; OR ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION OF ANY KIND BY ANY
PARTY THAT ANY INDEMNIFIED PARTY IS LIABLE FOR ANY ACT OR OMISSION
OF BORROWER OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY IN CONNECTION WITH THE
OWNERSHIP, SALE, OPERATION OR DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROPERTY;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT BORROWER SHALL HAVE NO OBLIGATION TO
INDEMNIFY, DEFEND OR HOLD HARMLESS (i) BONDOWNER REPRESENTATIVE TO
THE EXTENT THAT ANY OF THE FOREGOING LIABILITIES ARISE OUT OF THE
GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF BONDOWNER
REPRESENTATIVE, OR (ii) ISSUER TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY OF THE FOREGOING
LIABILITIES ARISE OUT OF THE WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF ISSUER. THE
PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 16.30 SHALL SURVIVE TERMINATION OF THIS
AGREEMENT.
16.31 Relationships With Other Bondowner Representative Customers. From
time to time, Bondowner Representative may have business relationships with Borrower’s
customers, suppliers, contractors, tenants, partners, shareholders, officers or directors, or with
businesses offering products or services similar to those of Borrower, or with persons seeking to
invest in, borrow from or lend to Borrower. Borrower agrees that Bondowner Representative
may extend credit to such parties and take any action it deems necessary to collect the credit,
regardless of the effect that such extension or collection of credit may have on Borrower’s
financial condition or operations. Borrower further agrees that in no event will Bondowner
Representative be obligated to disclose to Borrower any information concerning any other
Bondowner Representative customer.
16.32 Disclosure to Title Company. Without notice to or the consent of
Borrower, Bondowner Representative may disclose to any title insurance company insuring any

100167627
Loan No. 1016078
-90-
interest of Bondowner Representative under the Deed of Trust (whether as primary insurer,
coinsurer or reinsurer) any information, data or material in Bondowner Representative’s
possession relating to Borrower, the Loan, the Project or the Property.
16.33 Restriction on Personal Property. Except for the replacement of personal
property made in the ordinary course of Borrower’s business with items of equal or greater
value, Borrower may not sell, convey or otherwise transfer or dispose of its interest in any
personal property in which Bondowner Representative has a security interest or contract to do
any of the foregoing, without the prior written consent of Bondowner Representative in each
instance.
16.34 Interpretation. The language of this Agreement must be construed as a
whole according to its fair meaning, and not strictly for or against any party. Whenever the
context requires, all words used in the singular will be construed to have been used in the plural,
and vice versa, and each gender will include any other gender. The captions of the sections of
this Agreement are for convenience only and do not define or limit any terms or provisions. The
word “include(s)” means “include(s), without limitation,” and the word “including” means
“including, but not limited to.” No listing of specific instances, items or matters in any way
limits the scope or generality of any language of this Agreement.
16.35 Loan Commission. Bondowner Representative is not obligated to pay any
brokerage commission or fee in connection with or arising out of the Loan. Borrower must pay
any and all brokerage commissions or fees arising out of or in connection with the Loan.
16.36 Compliance with Usury Laws. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, it is agreed and understood that in no event shall this Agreement, with respect to the
Note or other instrument of indebtedness, be construed as requiring Borrower or any other
person to pay interest and other costs or considerations that constitute interest under any
applicable law which are contracted for, charged or received pursuant to this Agreement in an
amount in excess of the maximum amount of interest allowed under any applicable law. In the
event of any acceleration of the payment of the principal amount of the Note or other evidence of
indebtedness, that portion of any interest payment in excess of the maximum legal rate of
interest, if any, provided for in this Agreement or related documents shall be canceled
automatically as of the date of such acceleration, or if theretofore paid, credited to the principal
amount. The provisions of this Section 16.36 prevail over any other provision of this
Agreement.
16.37 USA Patriot Act Notice Compliance. The USA Patriot Act of 2001 (Public
Law 107.56) and federal regulations issued with respect thereto require all financial institutions
to obtain, verify and record certain information that identifies individuals or business entities
which open an “account” with such financial institution. Consequently, Bondowner
Representative may from time to time request, and Borrower shall provide to Bondowner
Representative, Borrower’s name, address, tax identification number and/or such other
identification information as shall be necessary for Bondowner Representative to comply with
federal law. An “account” for this purpose may include, without limitation, a deposit account,
cash management service, a transaction or asset account, a credit account, a loan or other
extension of credit and/or other financial services product.

16.38 Loan Sales and Participations; Disclosure of Information. Borrower
acknowledges the intention of the parties to facilitate the marketability of the Loan to purchasers
in the secondary market and agrees that Bondowner Representative may elect, at any time, to
sell, assign or grant participations in all or any portion of its rights and obligations under the
Loan Documents, and that any such sale, assignment or participation may be to one or more
financial institutions, private investors, and/or other entities, at Bondowner Representative’s sole
discretion (“Participant”). Borrower further agrees that Bondowner Representative may
disseminate to any such actual or potential purchaser(s), assignee(s) or participant(s) all
documents and information (including, without limitation, all financial information) which has
been or is hereafter provided to or known to Bondowner Representative with respect to: (a) the
Property and Improvements and its operation; (b) any party connected with the Loan (including,
without limitation, the Borrower, any partner of Borrower, any constituent partner or member of
Borrower, any Guarantor); and/or (c) any lending relationship other than the Loan which
Bondowner Representative may have with any party connected with the Loan. In the event of
any such sale, assignment or participation, Bondowner Representative and the parties to such
transaction shall share in the rights and obligations of Bondowner Representative as set forth in
the Loan Documents only as and to the extent they agree among themselves. In connection with
any such sale, assignment or participation, Borrower further agrees that the Loan Documents
shall be sufficient evidence of the obligations of Borrower to each purchaser, assignee, or
participant, and upon written request by Bondowner Representative, Borrower shall enter into
such amendments or modifications to the Loan Documents as may be reasonably required in
order to evidence any such sale, assignment or participation. The indemnity obligations of
Borrower under the Loan Documents shall also apply with respect to any purchaser, assignee or
participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall be construed to limit the
restrictions on transfer of the Bonds set forth in the Indenture.
16.39 Radon Testing. Borrower shall cause its environmental consultant to test
not less than ten percent (10%) of the lowest level residential units at the Project for radon gas,
with not less than one such test completed for each building on the Property. Such tests shall be
conducted in residential unit living rooms, dens or bedrooms and shall not be conducted in
bathrooms, kitchens, hallways or closets. The results of such tests shall be acceptable to
Bondowner Representative and satisfy the requirements of Investor Limited Partner under the
Partnership Documents and HCD in connection with its commitments to fund the HCD MHP
Loan and HCD VHHP Loan; provided, however, that if required by Bondowner Representative,
Investor Limited Partner or HCD, Borrower shall take appropriate mitigation actions regarding
such radon gas as may be required by Bondowner Representative, Investor Limited Partner or
HCD, as applicable. Borrower shall provide to Bondowner Representative evidence of the
testing for radon gas in accordance with the terms of this Section, together with final test results
satisfying the requirements hereof.

earthquakes, wars, civil disturbances, power surges or failures, acts of government, labor disputes, failures in
communications networks, legal constraints or other events beyond Bondowner Representative’s control; or (iii)
any special, consequential, indirect or punitive damages, whether or not (A) any claim for these damages is based
on tort or contract or (B) Bondowner Representative or Borrower knew or should have known the likelihood of
these damages in any situation. Bondowner Representative makes no representations or warranties other than
those expressly made in this Agreement. IN NO EVENT WILL BONDOWNER REPRESENTATIVE BE LIABLE FOR
DAMAGES ARISING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY IF A DISBURSEMENT REQUEST IS EXECUTED BY BONDOWNER
REPRESENTATIVE IN GOOD FAITH AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT.
Reliance on Information Provided. Bondowner Representative is authorized to rely on the information provided
by Borrower or any Authorized Representative in or in accordance with this Agreement when executing a
Disbursement Request until Bondowner Representative has received a new Agreement signed by Borrower.
Borrower agrees to be bound by any Disbursement Request: (i) authorized or transmitted by Borrower; or (ii)
made in Borrower’s name and accepted by Bondowner Representative in good faith and in compliance with this
Agreement, even if not properly authorized by Borrower. Bondowner Representative may rely solely (i) on the
account number of the Receiving Party, rather than the Receiving Party’s name, and (ii) on the bank routing
number of the Receiving Bank, rather than the Receiving Bank’s name, in executing a Disbursement Request.
Bondowner Representative is not obligated or required in any way to take any actions to detect errors in
information provided by Borrower or an Authorized Representative. If Bondowner Representative takes any

actions in an attempt to detect errors in the transmission or content of transfers or requests or takes any actions in
an attempt to detect unauthorized Disbursement Requests, Borrower agrees that, no matter how many times
Bondowner Representative takes these actions, Bondowner Representative will not in any situation be liable for
failing to take or correctly perform these actions in the future, and such actions shall not become any part of the
Disbursement procedures authorized herein, in the Loan Documents, or in any agreement between Bondowner
Representative and Borrower.
International Disbursements. A Disbursement Request expressed in US Dollars will be sent in US Dollars, even if
the Receiving Party or Receiving Bank is located outside the United States. Bondowner Representative will not
execute Disbursement Requests expressed in foreign currency unless permitted by the Loan Agreement.
Errors. Borrower agrees to notify Bondowner Representative of any errors in the Disbursement of any funds or of
any unauthorized or improperly authorized Disbursement Requests within fourteen (14) days after Bondowner
Representative’s confirmation to Borrower of such Disbursement. If Bondowner Representative is notified that it
did not disburse the full amount requested in a Disbursement Request, Bondowner Representative’s sole liability
will be to promptly disburse the amount of the stated deficiency. If Bondowner Representative disburses an
amount in excess of the amount requested in a Disbursement Request, Bondowner Representative will only be
liable for such excess amount to the extent that Borrower does not receive the benefit of such amount.
Finality of Disbursement Requests. Disbursement Requests will be final and will not be subject to stop payment or
recall; provided that Bondowner Representative may, at Borrower’s request, make an effort to effect a stop
payment or recall but will incur no liability whatsoever for its failure or inability to do so.

applicable Regulations, or condemnation or similar event, the Borrower covenants that,

(a) During the Qualified Project Period, not less than twenty percent (20%) of the
units in the Project will be occupied by, or held vacant and available for occupancy by,
Low Income Tenants. For the purposes of this paragraph (a), a vacant unit which was
most recently occupied by a Low Income Tenant is treated as rented and occupied by a
Low Income Tenant until reoccupied, other than for a temporary period of not more
than 31 days, at which time the character of such unit shall be redetermined.
(b) No tenant qualifying as a Low Income Tenant shall be denied continued
occupancy of a unit in the Project because, after admission, such tenant’s Adjusted
Income increases to exceed the qualifying limit for Low Income Tenants. However,
should a Low Income Tenant’s Adjusted Income, as of the most recent determination
thereof, exceed one hundred forty percent (140%) of the applicable income limit for a
Low Income Tenant of the same family size, the next available unit of comparable or
smaller size in the same building (within the meaning of Section 42 of the Code) must be
rented to (or held vacant and available for immediate occupancy by) a Low Income
Tenant. Until such next available unit is rented to a Low Income Tenant, the former Low
Income Tenant who has ceased to qualify as such shall be deemed to continue to be a
Low Income Tenant for purposes of the Low Income Unit requirements of Section 4(a)
hereof until the rental of an available unit of comparable or smaller size to a tenant who
is not a Low Income Tenant.
(c) For the Qualified Project Period, the Borrower will obtain, complete and
maintain on file Verifications of Income for each Low Income Tenant, including (i) a
Verification of Income dated immediately prior to the initial occupancy of such Low
Income Tenant in the unit, and (ii) thereafter, an annual Verification of Income with
respect to each Low Income Tenant within thirty days before or after the anniversary of
such tenant’s initial occupancy of a unit in the Project. In lieu of obtaining an annual
Verification of Income, the Borrower may, with respect to any particular twelve-month
period ending March 1 of each year, deliver to the Administrator no later than fifteen
(15) days after such date, a certification that as of March 1, no Low Income Unit in the
Project was occupied within the preceding twelve (12) months by a new resident whose
income exceeded the limit applicable to Low Income Tenants upon admission to the
Project. The Administrator may at any time and in its sole and absolute discretion notify
August 9, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Official Minutes 547
-12-
the Borrower in writing that it will no longer accept certifications of the Borrower made
pursuant to the preceding sentence and that the Borrower will thereafter be required to
obtain annual Verifications of Income for tenants.
The Borrower also will provide such additional information as may be required
in the future by the State, by the Issuer, by CDLAC and by the Code, as the same may be
amended from time to time, or in such other form and manner as may be required by
applicable rules, rulings, policies, procedures, Regulations or other official statements
now or hereafter promulgated, proposed or made by the Department of the Treasury or
the Internal Revenue Service with respect to Tax-Exempt obligations. Upon request of
the Administrator or the Issuer, copies of Verification of Income for Low Income
Tenants commencing or continuing occupation of a Low Income Unit shall be submitted
to the Administrator or the Issuer, as requested.
The Borrower shall make a good faith effort to verify that the income information
provided by an applicant in a Verification of Income is accurate by taking one or more of
the following steps as a part of the verification process: (1) obtain pay stubs for the three
most recent pay periods, (2) obtain an income tax return for the most recent tax year, (3)
obtain a credit report or conduct a similar type credit search, (4) obtain an income
verification from the applicant’s current employer, (5) obtain an income verification
from the Social Security Administration and/or the California Department of Social
Services if the applicant receives assistance from either of such agencies, or (6) if the
applicant is unemployed and does not have an income tax return, obtain another form of
independent verification reasonably acceptable to the Issuer.
(d) The Borrower will maintain complete and accurate records pertaining to the
Low Income Units and will permit any duly authorized representative of the Issuer, the
Administrator, the Bondowner Representative, the Department of the Treasury or the
Internal Revenue Service to inspect the books and records of the Borrower pertaining to
the Project, including those records pertaining to the occupancy of the Low Income
Units.
(e) The Borrower will prepare and submit quarterly, on or before each April 15
(for the quarterly period ending March 30), July 15 (for the quarterly period ending June
30), October 15 (for the quarterly period ending September 30) and January 15 (for the
quarterly period ending December 31) during the Qualified Project Period rent rolls and
other information required by the FOCUS Program. The Borrower will also prepare and
submit quarterly, on or before each April 15 (for the quarterly period ending March 30),
July 15 (for the quarterly period ending June 30), October 15 (for the quarterly period
ending September 30) and January 15 (for the quarterly period ending December 31)

Representative), a Certificate of Continuing Program Compliance executed by the
Borrower stating (i) the percentage of the aggregate of the dwelling units of the Project
which were occupied or deemed occupied, pursuant to subsection (a) hereof, by Low
Income Tenants during the preceding applicable quarterly period; and (ii) that either (A)
no unremedied default has occurred under this Regulatory Agreement, or (B) a default
August 9, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Official Minutes 548
-13-
has occurred, in which event the certificate shall describe the nature of the default in
detail and set forth the measures being taken by the Borrower to remedy such default.
During the Qualified Project Period, the Borrower shall submit a completed
Internal Revenue Code Form 8703 or such other annual certification as required by the
Code with respect to the Project, to the Secretary of the Treasury on or before March 31
of each year (or such other date as may be required by the Code).
Upon the written request of the Issuer, the Borrower agrees to provide such
information or reports as are necessary, in the reasonable opinion of the Issuer, to enable
the Issuer to respond to reporting requirements imposed on the Issuer by the Internal
Revenue Service, CDLAC or other authorities having regulatory authority with respect
to the Bonds.
(f) For the Qualified Project Period, all tenant leases or rental agreements shall be
subordinate to this Regulatory Agreement. All leases pertaining to Low Income Units
shall contain clauses, among others, wherein each tenant who occupies a Low Income
Unit: (i) certifies the accuracy of the statements made in the Verification of Income; (ii)
agrees that the family income and other eligibility requirements shall be deemed
substantial and material obligations of the tenancy of such tenant, that such tenant will
comply promptly with all requests for information with respect thereto from the
Borrower, the Bondowner Representative or the Administrator on behalf of the Issuer,
and that the failure to provide accurate information in the Verification of Income or
refusal to comply with a request for information with respect thereto shall be deemed a
violation of a substantial obligation of the tenancy of such tenant; (iii) acknowledges that
the Borrower has relied on the Verification of Income and supporting information
supplied by the Low Income Tenant in determining qualification for occupancy of the
Low Income Unit and that any material misstatement in such certification (whether or
not intentional) will be cause for immediate termination of such lease or rental
agreement; and (iv) agrees that the tenant’s income is subject to annual certification in
accordance with Section 4(c) hereof and that if upon any such certification such tenant’s
Adjusted Income exceeds the applicable Low Income Tenant income limit under Section
4(b), such tenant may cease to qualify as a Low Income Tenant, and such tenant’s rent is
subject to increase.
Section 4A. Additional Requirements of the Issuer. In addition to the requirements set
forth elsewhere in this Regulatory Agreement and to the extent not prohibited by the
requirements set forth in Sections 4, 5 and 6 hereof, the Borrower hereby agrees to comply with
each of the requirements of the Issuer set forth in this Section 4A, as follows:
(a) All tenant lists, applications and waiting lists relating to the Project shall at all
times be kept separate and identifiable from any other business of the Borrower and

application for employment of persons for the construction, operation, or management
of the Project.
(c) The Borrower shall not permit occupancy in any unit in the Project by more
than (i) two persons per bedroom in the unit, plus (ii) one person; and the Borrower

burdensome than criteria applied to all other prospective tenants, nor shall the Borrower
apply or permit the application of management policies or lease provisions with respect
to the Project which have the effect of precluding occupancy of units by such
prospective tenants.
(g) The Borrower shall submit to the Issuer: (i) rent rolls and other information
required by the FOCUS Program on a quarterly basis as specified in Section 4(e), and (ii)
within fifteen (15) days after receipt of a written request, any other information or

hereof. Following any such appointment, the Borrower shall comply with any request by
August 9, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Official Minutes 550
-15-
the Issuer to deliver to such Administrator, in addition to or instead of the Issuer, any
reports, notices or other documents required to be delivered pursuant hereto, and to
make the Project and the books and records with respect thereto available for inspection
by such administrator as an agent of the Issuer.
(j) The Borrower shall submit its written management policies with respect to the
Project, if any, to the Issuer for its review, and shall amend such policies in any way
necessary to insure that such policies comply with the provisions of this Regulatory
Agreement and the requirements of the existing program under Section 8 of the Housing
Law, or its successors. The Borrower shall not promulgate management policies which

addendum to leases for tenants which are holders of Section 8 certificates.
(k) The Borrower shall screen and select tenants for desirability and
creditworthiness at its discretion; provided, however, that the Borrower shall consider a
prospective tenant’s rent history for at least the one year period prior to application as
evidence of the tenant’s ability to pay the applicable rent.
(l) At least six months prior to the expiration of the Qualified Project Period the
Borrower shall provide by first-class mail, postage prepaid, a notice to all tenants in the
Low Income Units containing (i) the anticipated date of the expiration of the Qualified
Project Period, (ii) any anticipated rent increase upon the expiration of the Qualified
Project Period, (iii) a statement that a copy of such notice will be sent to the Issuer, and
(iv) a statement that a public hearing may be held by the Issuer on the issue and that the
tenant will receive notice of the hearing at least fifteen (15) days in advance of any such
hearing. The Borrower shall also file a copy of the above-described notice with the
Community Development Bond Program Manager of the Department of Conservation
and Development of the Issuer.
(m) Notwithstanding Section 1461 of the Civil Code, the provisions of this
Section shall run with land and may be enforced either in law or in equity by any
resident, local agency, entity, or by any other person adversely affected by the
Borrower’s failure to comply with the provisions of this Section.
(n) The Borrower shall not participate in any refunding of the Bonds or the Loan
by means of the issuance of bonds or other obligations by any governmental body other
than the Issuer.
(o) Each of the requirements of Sections 3, 4, 6 and 7 hereof is hereby
incorporated as a specific requirement of the Issuer, whether or not required by
California or federal law.
(p) The requirements of Section 6 and this Section 4A shall be in effect for the
Qualified Project Period.
Any of the foregoing requirements of the Issuer contained in this Section 4A may be
expressly waived by the Issuer in writing, but (i) no waiver by the Issuer of any requirement of
this Section 4A shall, or shall be deemed to, extend to or affect any other provision of this
August 9, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Official Minutes 551
-16-
Regulatory Agreement except to the extent the Issuer has received an opinion of Bond Counsel
that any such provision is not required by the Act and may be waived without adversely
affecting the exclusion from gross income of interest on the Bonds for federal income tax
purposes; and (ii) any requirement of this Section 4A shall be void and of no force and effect if
the Issuer and the Borrower receive a written opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that
compliance with any such requirement would cause interest on the Bonds to cease to be Tax-
Exempt or to the effect that compliance with such requirement would be in conflict with the Act
or any other State or federal law.
Section 5. Tax-Exempt Status of the Bonds. The Borrower and the Issuer, as
applicable, each hereby represents, warrants and agrees as follows:
(a) The Borrower and the Issuer will not knowingly take or permit, or omit to
take or cause to be taken, as is appropriate, any action that would adversely affect the
Tax-Exempt nature of the interest on the Bonds and, if either of them should take or
permit, or omit to take or cause to be taken, any such action, it will take all lawful
actions necessary to rescind or correct such actions or omissions promptly upon
obtaining knowledge thereof.
(b) The Borrower and the Issuer will file of record such documents and take such
other steps as are necessary, in the written opinion of Bond Counsel filed with the
Borrower, the Issuer and the Bondowner Representative, in order to insure that the
requirements and restrictions of this Regulatory Agreement will be binding upon all
owners of the Project, including, but not limited to, the execution and recordation of this
Regulatory Agreement in the real property records of the County.
Section 6. Additional Requirements of the Act. In addition to the requirements set forth
elsewhere in this Regulatory Agreement, so long as the Bonds are outstanding the Borrower
hereby agrees to comply with each of the requirements of the Act applicable to the Project.
Without limiting the foregoing, the Borrower agrees as follows:
(a) As provided in Section 52080(a)(1)(A) of the Act, twenty percent (20%) or
more of the completed residential units in the Project shall be occupied by, or held
vacant and available for occupancy by, individuals whose income is 50 percent or less of
area median income, within the meaning of Section 52080(a)(1)(A) of the Act (it being
acknowledged that units required to be set aside for Low Income Tenants pursuant to
Section 4(a) may be counted for purposes of satisfying the requirements of this Section
6(a) if the related Low Income Tenants otherwise satisfy the requirements of this Section
6(a)).
(b) The rental payments paid by the occupants of the units described in
paragraph (a) of this Section (excluding any supplemental rental assistance from the
state, the federal government, or any other public agency to those occupants or on behalf
of those units) shall not exceed thirty percent of fifty percent of area median income.
(c) The Borrower shall accept as tenants, on the same basis as all other
prospective tenants, Low Income Tenants who are recipients of federal certificates or
August 9, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Official Minutes 552
-17-
vouchers for rent subsidies pursuant to the existing program under Section 8 of the
Housing Law. The selection criteria applied to certificate holders under Section 8 of the
Housing Law shall not be more burdensome than the criteria applied to all other
prospective tenants.
(d) The Borrower shall ensure that units occupied as required by paragraph (a) of
this Section are of comparable quality and offer a range of sizes and number of
bedrooms comparable to those units which are available to other tenants.
(e) As provided in Section 52080(e) of the Act, the Project may be syndicated after
prior written approval of the Issuer. The Issuer shall grant that approval only after it
determines that the terms and conditions of the syndication (1) shall not reduce or limit
any of the requirements of the Act or regulations adopted or documents executed
pursuant to the Act, (2) shall not cause any of the requirements in this Agreement to be
subordinated to the syndication agreement, or (3) shall not result in the provision of
fewer assisted units, or the reduction of any benefits or services, than were in existence
prior to the syndication agreement. The Issuer hereby acknowledges that this Section
6(e) does not apply to any syndication of federal tax credits for the Project.
(f) Following the expiration or termination of the Qualified Project Period,
except in the event of foreclosure and redemption of the Bonds, deed in lieu of
foreclosure, eminent domain, or action of a federal agency preventing enforcement,
units required to be reserved for occupancy pursuant to Section 6(a) shall remain
available to any eligible household occupying a reserved unit at the date of such
expiration or termination, at a rent not greater than the amount required by Section 6(b),
until the earliest of any of the following occur:
(1) The household’s income exceeds 140 percent of the maximum
eligible income specified in Section 6(a).
(2) The household voluntarily moves or is evicted for “good cause.”
“Good cause” for the purposes of this section means the nonpayment of rent or
allegation of facts necessary to prove major, or repeated minor, violations of
material provisions of the occupancy agreement which detrimentally affect the
health, safety, occupancy or quiet enjoyment of other persons or the structure,
the fiscal integrity of the Project or the purposes or special programs of the
Project.
(3) Thirty years after the date of commencement of the Qualified
Project Period.
(4) The Borrower pays the relocation assistance and benefits to
tenants as provided in subdivision (b) of Section 7264 of the California
Government Code.
August 9, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Official Minutes 553
-18-
(g) Except in the event of foreclosure and redemption of the Bonds, deed in
lieu of foreclosure, eminent domain, or action of a federal agency preventing
enforcement, during the three years prior to expiration of the Qualified Project Period,
the Borrower shall continue to make available to eligible households reserved units that
have been vacated to the same extent that nonreserved units are made available to
noneligible households.
(h) This Section shall not be construed to require the Issuer to monitor the
Borrower’s compliance with the provisions of paragraph (f), or that the Issuer shall have
any liability whatsoever in the event of the failure by the Borrower to comply with any
of the provisions of this Agreement.
(i) The covenants and conditions of this Regulatory Agreement shall be
binding upon successors in interest of the Borrower.
(j) This Regulatory Agreement shall be recorded in the office of the county
recorder of the County, and shall be recorded in the grantor-grantee index to the names
of the Borrower as grantor and to the name of the Issuer as grantee.
Section 7. CDLAC Requirements. The Borrower shall comply with the conditions set
forth in Exhibit A to the CDLAC Resolution (the “CDLAC Conditions”), as they may be
modified or amended from time to time, which conditions are incorporated herein by reference
and are made a part hereof. The Borrower shall prepare and submit to CDLAC (with a copy to
the Issuer), at the times required by CDLAC, (a) a Certificate of Compliance in substantially the
form attached hereto as Exhibit B hereto (or in such other form as CDLAC may require),
executed by an authorized representative of the Borrower; and (b) such other form or forms as
may be required by CDLAC related to the Borrower’s compliance with the CDLAC Conditions.
The Borrower acknowledges that the CDLAC Conditions include the following:
(a) 84 of the units in the Project be restricted for a term of 55 years, all of which
units must be rented or held vacant and available for rental for persons or families
whose income is at 50% or below of the Area Median Gross Income.
(b) A minimum of $18,431,356 of public funds will be expended for the Project.
(c) The Project and/or the financing must comply with the requirements in
paragraphs 9 thru 14, 16, 24 and 25 of Exhibit A to the CDLAC Resolution.
The Borrower will promptly provide any information requested by the Issuer in order
for the Issuer to complete any Annual Applicant Public Benefit and On-going Compliance Self
Certification or otherwise comply with any regulations of CDLAC applicable to the CDLAC
Resolution, the CDLAC Conditions, the Bonds or the Project, including but not limited to
Section 5144 of Article 11 of the CDLAC regulations.
The requirements of this Section 7 may be waived in writing by CDLAC in its sole and
absolute discretion, without the consent of the Issuer. CDLAC and the Issuer each shall have the
August 9, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Official Minutes 554
-19-
right (but not the obligation) to enforce the CDLAC Conditions and to pursue an action for
specific performance or other available remedy at law or in equity, provided that any such
action or remedy shall not materially adversely affect the interests and rights of the owners of
the Bonds.
Section 8. Modification of Covenants. The Borrower and the Issuer hereby agree as
follows:
(a) To the extent any amendments to the Act, the Regulations or the Code shall,
in the written opinion of Bond Counsel filed with the Issuer, the Bondowner
Representative and the Borrower, impose requirements upon the ownership or
operation of the Project more restrictive than those imposed by this Regulatory
Agreement, and if such requirements are applicable to the Project, this Regulatory
Agreement shall be deemed to be automatically amended to impose such additional or
more restrictive requirements.
(b) To the extent that the Act, the Regulations or the Code, or any amendments
thereto, shall, in the written opinion of Bond Counsel filed with the Issuer, the
Bondowner Representative and the Borrower, impose requirements upon the ownership
or operation of the Project less restrictive than imposed by this Regulatory Agreement,
this Regulatory Agreement may be amended or modified to provide such less restrictive
requirements, but only by written amendment signed by the Issuer, in its sole discretion,
and the Borrower, and only upon receipt by the Issuer of the written opinion of Bond
Counsel to the effect that such amendment will not affect the Tax-Exempt status of
interest on the Bonds or violate the requirements of the Act, and is otherwise in
accordance with Section 22 hereof.
(c) The Borrower and the Issuer shall execute, deliver and, if applicable, file of
record any and all documents and instruments necessary to effectuate the intent of this
Section 8, and each of the Borrower and the Issuer hereby appoints the Bondowner
Representative as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact to execute, deliver and, if
applicable, file of record on behalf of the Borrower or the Issuer, as is applicable, any
such document or instrument (in such form as may be approved by Bond Counsel, as
evidenced by receipt of the opinion required by paragraph (b) above) if either the
Borrower or the Issuer defaults in the performance of its obligations under this
subsection (c); provided, however, that unless directed in writing by the Issuer or the
Borrower, the Bondowner Representative shall take no action under this subsection (c)
without first notifying the Borrower or the Issuer, or both of them, as is applicable, and
without first providing the Borrower or the Issuer, or both, as is applicable, an
opportunity to comply with the requirements of this Section 8. Nothing in this
subsection (c) shall be construed to allow the Bondowner Representative to execute an
amendment to this Regulatory Agreement on behalf of the Issuer.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Regulatory Agreement, whenever an
opinion of Bond Counsel is required or requested to be delivered hereunder after the Closing
Date, the Bondowner Representative, the Issuer and the Borrower shall accept (unless otherwise
directed in writing by the Issuer) an opinion of Bond Counsel in such form and with such
August 9, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Official Minutes 555
-20-
disclaimers as may be required so that such opinion will not be treated as a “covered opinion”
for purposes of the Treasury Department regulations governing practice before the Internal
Revenue Service (Circular 230), 31 CFR Part 10.
Section 9. Indemnification.
(a) To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Borrower agrees to indemnify, hold
harmless and defend the Issuer, the Bondowner Representative, and each of their respective
past, present and future Supervisors, officers, directors, officials, employees and agents
(collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”), against any and all losses, damages, claims, actions,
liabilities, costs and expenses of any conceivable nature, kind or character (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, litigation and court costs, amounts paid in settlement and
amounts paid to discharge judgments) to which the Indemnified Parties, or any of them, may
become subject under any statutory law (including federal or state securities laws) or at
common law or otherwise, arising out of or based upon or in any way relating to:
(i) the Bonds, the Indenture, the Loan Agreement, the Loan or this
Regulatory Agreement or the execution or amendment hereof or thereof or in connection
with transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including the issuance, sale or resale
of the Bonds;
(ii) any act or omission of the Borrower or any of its agents, contractors,
servants, employees, tenants or licensees in connection with the Project, the operation of
the Project, or the condition, environmental or otherwise, occupancy, use, possession,
conduct or management of work done in or about, or from the planning, design,
acquisition, installation or construction of, the Project or any part thereof;
(iii) any lien or charge upon payments by the Borrower to the Issuer and the
Bondowner Representative hereunder or under the Loan Agreement, or any taxes
(including, without limitation, all ad valorem taxes and sales taxes), assessments,
impositions and other charges imposed on the Issuer in respect of any portion of the
Project;
(iv) any violation of the provisions of Article 9 of the Loan Agreement;
(v) the defeasance and/or redemption, in whole or in part, of the Bonds;
(vi) any untrue statement or misleading statement or alleged untrue
statement or alleged misleading statement of a material fact contained in any offering
statement or disclosure or continuing disclosure document for the Bonds or any of the
documents relating to the Bonds, or any omission or alleged omission from any offering
statement or disclosure or continuing disclosure document for the Bonds of any material
fact necessary to be stated therein in order to make the statements made therein, in the
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;
August 9, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Official Minutes 556
-21-
(vii) any declaration of taxability of interest on the Bonds, or allegations that
interest on the Bonds is taxable or any regulatory audit or inquiry regarding whether
interest on the Bonds is taxable; or
(viii) the Bondowner Representative’s acceptance or administration of the
Indenture, or the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties thereunder or
under any of the documents relating to the Bonds to which it is a party;
except (A) in the case of the foregoing indemnification of the Bondowner Representative or any
of its respective Supervisors, officers, directors, officials, employees and agents, to the extent
such damages are caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of an Indemnified
Party; or (B) in the case of the foregoing indemnification of the Issuer or any of its officers,
members, directors, officials, employees and agents, to the extent, with respect to any such
Indemnified Party, such damages are caused by the willful misconduct of the respective
Indemnified Party seeking indemnification. In the event that any action or proceeding is
brought against any Indemnified Party with respect to which indemnity may be sought
hereunder, the Borrower, upon written notice from the Indemnified Party, shall assume the
investigation and defense thereof, including the employment of counsel selected by the
Indemnified Party, and shall assume the payment of all expenses related thereto, with full
power to litigate, compromise or settle the same in its sole discretion; provided that the
Indemnified Party shall have the right to review and approve or disapprove any such
compromise or settlement. Each Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate
counsel in any such action or proceeding and participate in the investigation and defense
thereof, and the Borrower shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel;
provided, however, that such Indemnified Party may only employ separate counsel at the
expense of the Borrower if in the judgment of such Indemnified Party a conflict of interest exists
by reason of common representation or if all parties commonly represented do not agree as to
the action (or inaction) of counsel.
(b) The rights of any persons to indemnity hereunder and rights to payment of fees
and reimbursement of expenses pursuant to Section 4A(a), this Section 9 and Section 20 shall
survive the final payment or defeasance of the Bonds and in the case of the Bondowner
Representative any resignation or removal. The provisions of this Section shall survive the
termination of this Regulatory Agreement.
(c) The Borrower acknowledges that its obligations under this Section 9 are not
subject to the non-recourse provisions of the Loan Agreement or Section 29 hereof (collectively,
the “Non-Recourse Provisions”); provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 9
shall otherwise change or modify the applicability of the Non-Recourse Provisions to the
Borrower’s other obligations under this Regulatory Agreement, or cause the obligation of the
Borrower to pay principal and interest on the Loan or amounts owing with respect to the Bonds
to be a recourse obligation of the Borrower.
(d) The obligations of the Borrower under this Section are independent of any other
contractual obligation of the Borrower to provide indemnity to the Issuer or the Bondowner
Representative or otherwise, and the obligation of the Borrower to provide indemnity
hereunder shall not be interpreted, construed or limited in light of any other separate
August 9, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Official Minutes 557
-22-
indemnification obligation of the Borrower. The Issuer and the Bondowner Representative shall
be entitled simultaneously to seek indemnity under this Section and any other provision under
which it is entitled to indemnity.
Section 10. Consideration. The Issuer has agreed to issue the Bonds to provide funds to
lend to the Borrower to finance the acquisition and construction of the Project, all for the
purpose, among others, of inducing the Borrower to acquire, construct and operate the Project.
In consideration of the issuance of the Bonds by the Issuer, the Borrower has entered into this
Regulatory Agreement and has agreed to restrict the uses to which this Project can be put on the
terms and conditions set forth herein.
Section 11. Reliance. The Issuer and the Borrower hereby recognize and agree that the
representations and covenants set forth herein may be relied upon by all persons interested in
the legality and validity of the Bonds, in the exemption from State personal income taxation of
interest on the Bonds and in the Tax-Exempt status of the interest on the Bonds. In performing
their duties and obligations hereunder, the Issuer and the Bondowner Representative may rely
upon statements and certificates of the Low Income Tenants, and upon audits, if any, of the
books and records of the Borrower pertaining to the Project. In addition, the Issuer and the
Bondowner Representative may consult with counsel, and the opinion of such counsel shall be
full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered by the
Issuer or the Bondowner Representative hereunder in good faith and in conformity with such
opinion. In determining whether any default or lack of compliance by the Borrower exists under
this Regulatory Agreement, the Issuer shall not be required to conduct any investigation into or
review of the operations or records of the Borrower and may rely solely on any written notice or
certificate delivered to the Issuer or the Bondowner Representative by the Borrower with
respect to the occurrence or absence of a default unless it knows that the notice or certificate is
erroneous or misleading.
Section 12. Sale or Transfer of the Project. For the Qualified Project Period, the
Borrower shall not, except as provided below and in accordance with the Loan Agreement and
the Deed of Trust, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Project, in whole or in part, without
the prior written consent of the Issuer, which consent shall be given as promptly as practicable
following: (A) the receipt by the Issuer of evidence acceptable to the Issuer that (1) the Borrower
shall not be in default hereunder or under the Loan Agreement (which may be evidenced by a
certificate of the Borrower) or the purchaser or assignee undertakes to cure any defaults of the
Borrower to the reasonable satisfaction of the Issuer; (2) the continued operation of the Project
shall comply with the provisions of this Regulatory Agreement; (3) either (a) the purchaser or
assignee or its property manager has at least three years’ experience in the ownership, operation
and management of similar size rental housing projects, and at least one year’s experience in the
ownership, operation and management of rental housing projects containing below-market-rate
units, without any record of material violations of discrimination restrictions or other state or
federal laws or regulations or local government requirements applicable to such projects, or (b)
the purchaser or assignee agrees to retain a property management firm with the experience and
record described in subclause (a) above, or (c) the transferring Borrower or its management
company will continue to manage the Project for at least one year following such transfer and
during such period will provide training to the transferee and its manager in the responsibilities
relating to the Low Income Units; and (4) the person or entity which is to acquire the Project
August 9, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Official Minutes 558
-23-
does not have pending against it, and does not have a history of, building code violations or
significant and material complaints concerning the maintenance, upkeep, operation, and
regulatory agreement compliance of any of its projects as identified by any local, state or federal
regulatory agencies; (B) the execution by the purchaser or assignee of any document requested
by the Issuer with respect to the assumption of the Borrower’s obligations under this
Regulatory Agreement and the Loan Agreement, including without limitation an instrument of
assumption hereof, and delivery to the Issuer of an opinion of such purchaser or assignee’s
counsel to the effect that each such document and this Regulatory Agreement are valid, binding
and enforceable obligations of such purchaser or assignee; (C) receipt by the Issuer of an
opinion of Bond Counsel addressed to the Issuer and the Bondowner Representative to the
effect that any such sale, transfer or other disposition will not adversely affect the Tax-Exempt
status of interest on the Bonds; (D) receipt by the Issuer and Bondowner Representative of all
fees and/or expenses then currently due and payable to the Issuer and Bondowner
Representative; and (E) satisfaction of such other conditions or matters as are set forth in the
Loan Agreement and the Deed of Trust. The Issuer hereby consents to a transfer of the Project
by the Borrower to its general partner or its affiliate, if the Issuer receives the documents listed
in the preceding sentence. It is hereby expressly stipulated and agreed that any sale, transfer or
other disposition of the Project in violation of this Section 12 shall be null, void and without
effect, shall cause a reversion of title to the Borrower, and shall be ineffective to relieve the
Borrower of its obligations under this Regulatory Agreement. Nothing in this Section shall
affect any provision of any other document or instrument between the Borrower and any other
party which requires the Borrower to obtain the prior written consent of such other party in
order to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Project. Upon any sale or other transfer which
complies with this Regulatory Agreement, the Borrower shall be fully and automatically
released from its obligations hereunder to the extent such obligations have been assumed by the
transferee of the Project. Any transfer of the Project to any entity, whether or not affiliated with
the Borrower, shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 12, except that no consent of the
Issuer shall be required in the case of any transfer of the Project to a wholly owned subsidiary of
the Borrower if any applicable conditions set forth in the Loan Agreement and any conditions
set forth in the Deed of Trust are satisfied.
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 12 to the contrary, neither the
consent of the Issuer nor the delivery of items (A) through (E) of the preceding paragraph shall
be required in the case of (a) the execution, delivery and recordation by Borrower of any
mortgage or deed of trust encumbering all or any part of the Project, or (b) a foreclosure or deed
in lieu of foreclosure by the Bondowner Representative whereby the Bondowner Representative
or a purchaser at a foreclosure sale becomes the owner of the Project, and nothing contained in
this Section 12 shall otherwise affect the right of the Bondowner Representative or a purchaser
at a foreclosure sale to foreclose on the Project or to accept a deed in lieu of foreclosure. In
addition, the provisions of this Section 12 shall not apply to (i) the replacement of the initial
managing general partner of the Borrower by an entity formed by or that is a subsidiary of the
initial managing general partner of the Borrower, (ii) any transfer of limited partnership interest
in the Borrower, (iii) any transfer of interests in any limited partner of the Borrower, or (iv) any
transfer of interests pursuant to the provisions of the Borrower’s partnership agreement as in
effect from time to time, including but not limited to the removal of a general partner of the
Borrower and replacement thereof by an affiliate of a limited partner of the Borrower.

For the Qualified Project Period, the Borrower shall not: (1) except pursuant to the
provisions of this Regulatory Agreement, the Loan Agreement and the Deed of Trust (and upon
receipt by the Borrower of an opinion of Bond Counsel that such action will not adversely affect
the Tax-Exempt status of interest on the Bonds), permit the conveyance or transfer of any part
of the Project; (2) demolish any part of the Project or substantially subtract from any real or
personal property of the Project, except to the extent that what is removed is replaced with
comparable property; or (3) permit the use of the dwelling accommodations of the Project for
any purpose except rental residences.
Section 13. Term. This Regulatory Agreement and all and several of the terms hereof
shall become effective upon its execution and delivery, and shall remain in full force and effect
for the period provided herein and shall terminate as to any provision not otherwise provided
with a specific termination date and shall terminate in its entirety at the end of the Qualified
Project Period, it being expressly agreed and understood that the provisions hereof are intended
to survive the retirement of the Bonds and discharge of the Indenture, the Loan Agreement and
the Deed of Trust.
The terms of this Regulatory Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, this
Regulatory Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect in the event of
involuntary noncompliance with the provisions of this Regulatory Agreement caused by fire,
seizure, requisition, change in a federal law or an action of a federal agency after the Closing
Date that prevents the Issuer and the Bondowner Representative from enforcing such
provisions, or condemnation, foreclosure, transfer of title by deed in lieu of foreclosure, or a
similar event, but only if, within a reasonable period, either the Bonds are retired or amounts
received as a consequence of such event are used to provide a project which meets the
requirements hereof; provided, however, that the preceding provisions of this sentence shall
cease to apply and the restrictions contained herein shall be reinstated if, at any time
subsequent to the termination of such provisions as the result of the foreclosure or the delivery
of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or a similar event, the Borrower or any related person (within the
meaning of Section 1.103-10(e) of the Regulations) obtains an ownership interest in the Project
for federal income tax purposes. The Borrower hereby agrees that, following any foreclosure,
transfer of title by deed in lieu of foreclosure or similar event, neither the Borrower nor any
such related person as described above will obtain an ownership interest in the Project for
federal tax purposes. Upon the termination of the terms of this Regulatory Agreement, the
parties hereto agree to execute, deliver and record appropriate instruments of release and
discharge of the terms hereof; provided, however, that the execution and delivery of such
instruments shall not be necessary or a prerequisite to the termination of this Regulatory
Agreement in accordance with its terms.
Section 14. Covenants to Run With the Land. Notwithstanding Section 1489 of the
California Civil Code, the Borrower hereby subjects the Project to the covenants, reservations
and restrictions set forth in this Regulatory Agreement. The Issuer and the Borrower hereby
declare their express intent that the covenants, reservations and restrictions set forth herein
shall be deemed covenants running with the land and shall pass to and be binding upon the
Borrower’s successors in interest to the Project; provided, however, that on the termination of
this Regulatory Agreement said covenants, reservations and restrictions shall expire. Each and
every contract, deed or other instrument hereafter executed covering or conveying the Project or
August 9, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Official Minutes 560
-25-
any portion thereof shall conclusively be held to have been executed, delivered and accepted
subject to such covenants, reservations and restrictions, regardless of whether such covenants,
reservations and restrictions are set forth in such contract, deed or other instruments.
Section 15. Burden and Benefit. The Issuer and the Borrower hereby declare their
understanding and intent that the burdens of the covenants set forth herein touch and concern
the land in that the Borrower’s legal interest in the Project is rendered less valuable thereby. The
Issuer and the Borrower hereby further declare their understanding and intent that the benefits
of such covenants touch and concern the land by enhancing and increasing the enjoyment and
use of the Project by Low Income Tenants, the intended beneficiaries of such covenants,
reservations and restrictions, and by furthering the public purposes for which the Bonds were
issued.
Section 16. Uniformity; Common Plan. The covenants, reservations and restrictions
hereof shall apply uniformly to the entire Project in order to establish and carry out a common
plan for the use of the site on which the Project is located.
Section 17. Default; Enforcement. If the Borrower defaults in the performance or
observance of any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Borrower set forth in this
Regulatory Agreement, and if such default remains uncured for a period of thirty (30) days after
notice thereof shall have been given by the Issuer or the Bondowner Representative to the
Borrower (with a copy to the Investor Limited Partner), or for a period of thirty (30) days from
the date the Borrower should, with due diligence, have discovered such default, then the Issuer
or the Bondowner Representative, acting on its own behalf or on behalf of the Issuer (to the
extent directed in writing by the Issuer, subject to the provisions of the Indenture), shall declare
an “Event of Default” to have occurred hereunder; provided, however, that if the default is of
such a nature that it cannot be corrected within thirty (30) days, such default shall not constitute
an Event of Default hereunder so long as (i) the Borrower institutes corrective action within said
thirty (30) days and diligently pursues such action until the default is corrected, and (ii) in the
opinion of Bond Counsel, the failure to cure said default within thirty (30) days will not
adversely affect the Tax-Exempt status of interest on the Bonds. The Issuer and the Bondowner
Representative shall have the right to enforce the obligations of the Borrower under this
Regulatory Agreement within shorter periods of time than are otherwise provided herein if
necessary in the opinion of Bond Counsel to insure compliance with the Act or the Code.
Any limited partner of the Borrower shall have the right but not the obligation to cure
any Event of Default, and the Issuer and the Bondowner Representative agree to accept any
cure tendered by any such limited partner on behalf of the Borrower within any cure period
specified above.
Following the declaration of an Event of Default hereunder the Issuer, or the Bondowner
Representative may, at their respective options, take any one or more of the following steps, in
addition to all other remedies provided by law or equity:
(i) by mandamus or other suit, action or proceeding at law or in equity, including
injunctive relief, require the Borrower to perform its obligations and covenants
August 9, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Official Minutes 561
-26-
hereunder or enjoin any acts or things which may be unlawful or in violation of the
rights of the Issuer or the Bondowner Representative hereunder;
(ii) have access to and inspect, examine and make copies of all of the books and
records of the Borrower pertaining to the Project;
(iii) take such other action at law or in equity as may appear necessary or
desirable to enforce the obligations, covenants and agreements of the Borrower
hereunder;
(iv) declare a default under the Loan Agreement and (subject to any applicable
cure periods set forth in the Loan Agreement) proceed with any remedies provided
therein; and
(v) order and direct the Borrower in writing to terminate the then Manager of the
Project and to select a replacement Manager reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer within
60 days of such written direction, and to notify the Issuer in writing of the identity of the
replacement Manager.
The Borrower hereby agrees that specific enforcement of the Borrower’s agreements
contained herein is the only means by which the Issuer may fully obtain the benefits of such
agreements made by the Borrower herein, and the Borrower therefore agrees to the imposition
of the remedy of specific performance against it in the case of any Event of Default by the
Borrower hereunder.
The Bondowner Representative shall have the right (but no obligation), in accordance
with this Section and the provisions of the Indenture, without the consent or approval of the
Issuer, to exercise any or all of the rights or remedies of the Issuer hereunder; provided that
prior to taking any such action the Bondowner Representative shall give the Issuer written
notice of its intended action. After the Indenture has been discharged, the Issuer may act on its
own behalf to declare an “Event of Default” to have occurred and to take any one or more of the
steps specified hereinabove to the same extent and with the same effect as if taken by the
Bondowner Representative.
All fees, costs and expenses of the Bondowner Representative and the Issuer incurred in
taking any action pursuant to this Section shall be the sole responsibility of the Borrower.
No breach or default under this Regulatory Agreement shall defeat or render invalid the
Deed of Trust or any like encumbrance upon the Project or any portion thereof given in good
faith and for value.
Section 18. References to Bondowner Representative. After the date on which no Bonds
remain outstanding under the Indenture, all references to the Bondowner Representative in this
Regulatory Agreement shall be deemed references to the Issuer.
Section 19. Recording and Filing. (a) The Borrower shall cause this Regulatory
Agreement and all amendments and supplements hereto and thereto, to be recorded and filed
August 9, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Official Minutes 562
-27-
in the real property records of the County and in such other places as the Issuer or the
Bondowner Representative may reasonably request. The Borrower shall pay all fees and
charges incurred in connection with any such recording.
(b) The Borrower and the Issuer will file of record such other documents and take such
other steps as are necessary, in the written opinion of Bond Counsel filed with the Issuer and
the Bondowner Representative, in order to insure that the requirements and restrictions of this
Regulatory Agreement will be binding upon all owners of the Project.
(c) The Borrower hereby covenants to include or reference the requirements and
restrictions contained in this Regulatory Agreement in any documents transferring any interest
in the Project to another person (other than in any document granting a security interest to the
Bondowner Representative and, provided, however, that no such assignment shall be required
in connection with the transfer of the Project to the Bondowner Representative or to the
Bondholders by foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or comparable conversion of the Loan)
to the end that such transferee has notice of, and is bound by, such restrictions, and to obtain
the agreement from any transferee to abide by all requirements and restrictions of this
Regulatory Agreement.
Section 20. Payment of Administration Fees. Notwithstanding any prepayment of the
Loan and notwithstanding a discharge of the Indenture, throughout the term of this Regulatory
Agreement, the Borrower shall continue to pay to the Issuer its fees described in Section 4.A.(d)
and in the event of default, to the Administrator, the Issuer and to the Bondowner
Representative reasonable compensation for any services rendered by either of them hereunder
and reimbursement for all expenses reasonably incurred by any of them in connection
therewith.
Section 21. Governing Law. This Regulatory Agreement shall be governed by the laws
of the State applicable to contracts made and performed in the State.
Section 22. Amendments; Waivers. (a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 8 above,
this Regulatory Agreement may be amended only by a written instrument executed by the
parties hereto or their successors in title and the Bondowner Representative, and duly recorded
in the real property records of the County, and only upon receipt by the Issuer and the
Bondowner Representative of an opinion from Bond Counsel that such amendment will not
adversely affect the Tax-Exempt status of interest on the Bonds and is not contrary to the
provisions of the Act.
(b) Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, the Issuer and the
Borrower hereby agree to amend this Regulatory Agreement to the extent required, in the
opinion of Bond Counsel, in order that interest on the Bonds remain Tax-Exempt. The parties
requesting such amendment shall notify the other parties to this Regulatory Agreement and the
Bondowner Representative of the proposed amendment, with a copy of such requested
amendment to Bond Counsel and a request that such Bond Counsel render to the Issuer and the
Bondowner Representative an opinion as to the effect of such proposed amendment upon the
Tax-Exempt status of interest on the Bonds. This provision shall not be subject to any provision
August 9, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Official Minutes 563
-28-
of any other agreement requiring any party hereto to obtain the consent of any other person in
order to amend this Regulatory Agreement.
(c) Any waiver of, or consent to, any condition under this Regulatory Agreement must
be expressly made in writing.
Section 23. Notices. Any notice required to be given hereunder shall be made in writing
and shall be given by personal delivery, overnight delivery, certified or registered mail, postage

and the Borrower may, by notice given hereunder, designate any further or different addresses
to which subsequent notices, certificates or other communications shall be sent. Notice shall be
deemed given on the date evidenced by the postal or courier receipt or other written evidence
of delivery or electronic transmission.
Section 24. Severability. If any provision of this Regulatory Agreement shall be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining portions
hereof shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
Section 25. Multiple Counterparts. This Regulatory Agreement may be simultaneously
executed in multiple counterparts, all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument,
and each of which shall be deemed to be an original.
Section 26. Third Party Beneficiaries; Enforcement. The Bondowner Representative, the
Investor Limited Partner and CDLAC are intended to be and shall each be a third party
beneficiary of this Regulatory Agreement. CDLAC shall have the right (but not the obligation)
to enforce the CDLAC Conditions (as defined in Section 7) and to pursue an action for specific
performance or other available remedy at law or in equity in accordance with Section 17 hereof,
provided that any such action or remedy shall not materially adversely affect the interests and
rights of the owners of the Bonds. Pursuant to Section 52080(k) of the Act, the requirements of
Section 6 may be enforced either in law or in equity by any resident, local agency, entity, or by
any other person adversely affected by the Borrower’s failure to comply with the requirements
of that Section.
Section 27. The Bondowner Representative. The Bondowner Representative shall be
entitled, but shall have no duty, to act with respect to enforcement of the Borrower’s
performance hereunder. The Bondowner Representative, either on its own behalf or as the
agent of and on behalf of the Issuer, may, in its sole discretion, act hereunder and any act
required to be performed by the Issuer as herein provided shall be deemed taken if such act is
performed by the Bondowner Representative. In connection with any such performance, all
provisions of the Indenture relating to the rights, privileges, powers and protections of the
Bondowner Representative shall apply with equal force and effect to all actions taken (or
omitted to be taken) by the Bondowner Representative in connection with this Regulatory
Agreement. Neither the Bondowner Representative nor any of its officers, directors or
employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder or in
connection herewith except for its or their own negligence or willful misconduct. The
Bondowner Representative may consult with legal counsel selected by it (the reasonable fees of
which counsel shall be paid by the Borrower) and any action taken or suffered by it reasonably
and in good faith in accordance with the opinion of such counsel shall be full justification and
protection to it. The Bondowner Representative may at all times assume compliance with this
August 9, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Official Minutes 565
-30-
Regulatory Agreement unless otherwise notified in writing by or on behalf of the Issuer, or
unless it has actual knowledge of noncompliance.
After the date on which no Bonds remain outstanding as provided in the Indenture, the
Bondowner Representative shall have no further rights, duties or responsibilities under this
Regulatory Agreement, and all references to the Bondowner Representative in this Regulatory
Agreement shall be deemed references to the Issuer.
Section 28. No Interference or Impairment of Loan. Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, (i) the occurrence of an event of default under this Regulatory Agreement shall
not, under any circumstances whatsoever, be deemed or constitute a default under the Loan
Documents (as defined in the Loan Agreement), except as may be otherwise specified in the
Loan Documents, and shall not impair, defeat or render invalid the lien of the Deed of Trust
and (ii) neither of the Issuer nor any other person (other than the Bondowner Representative)
shall:
(a) initiate or take any action which may have the effect, directly or indirectly, of
impairing the ability of the Borrower to timely pay the principal of, interest on, or other
amounts due and payable under, the Loan;
(b) interfere with or attempt to interfere with or influence the exercise by the
Bondowner Representative of any of its rights under the Loan Agreement, including,
without limitation, the Bondowner Representative remedial rights under the Loan
Documents upon the occurrence of an event of default by the Borrower under the Loan;
or
(c) upon the occurrence of an event of default under the Loan Agreement, take
any action to accelerate or otherwise enforce payment or seek other remedies with
respect to the Loan, it being understood and agreed that the Issuer may not, without the
prior written consent of the Bondowner Representative, on account of any default under
this Regulatory Agreement, seek, in any manner, to cause the Loan to become due and
payable, to enforce the Loan Agreement or to foreclose on the Deed of Trust or cause the
Bondowner Representative to redeem the Bonds or to declare the principal of the Bonds
and the interest accrued on the Bonds to be immediately due and payable, or cause the
Bondowner Representative to foreclose or take any other action under the Bond
Documents (as defined in the Loan Agreement), the Loan Documents or any other
documents which action would or could have the effect of achieving any one or more of
the foregoing actions, events or results.
No person other than the Bondowner Representative shall have the right to declare the
principal balance of the Loan to be immediately due and payable or to initiate foreclosure or
other like action.
The forgoing prohibitions and limitations shall not in any way limit the rights of the
Issuer to specifically enforce this Regulatory Agreement or to seek injunctive relief in order to
provide for the operation of the Project in accordance with the requirements of the Code and the
Act, and shall not be construed to limit the rights of the Issuer to enforce its rights against the
August 9, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Official Minutes 566
-31-
Borrower under the indemnification provisions of the Regulatory Agreement provided that the
prosecution of a claim for indemnification shall not cause the Borrower to file a petition seeking
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in respect of the Borrower under
any applicable liquidation, insolvency, bankruptcy, construction, composition, reorganization,
conservation or other similar law in effect now or in the future.
Notwithstanding anything in this Regulatory Agreement to the contrary, any right of the
Issuer to take any action at law or in equity to enforce the obligations, covenants and
agreements of the Borrower under this Regulatory Agreement which includes any claim for
indemnification, damages or any other monetary obligation sought to be enforced shall be
subject and subordinate in all respects to the repayment in full of all amounts due on the Loan
under the Loan Documents.
All obligations of the Borrower under this Regulatory Agreement for the payment of
money, including claims for indemnification and damages shall not be secured by or in any
manner constitute a lien on the Project, and the Issuer shall not have the right to enforce such
obligations other than directly against the Borrower pursuant to Section 17 of this Regulatory
Agreement.
No subsequent owner of the Project shall be liable or obligated for the breach or default
of any obligation of any prior owner unless specifically assumed in writing by a subsequent
owner, including, but not limited to, any payment or indemnification obligation. Such
obligations shall be personal to the person who was the owner of the Project at the time the
default or breach was alleged to have occurred and such person shall remain liable for any and
all damages occasioned by the default or breach even after such person ceases to be the owner
of the Project.
Notwithstanding the above, the provisions of this Section 28 shall not in any way limit
or alter the Issuer’s authority, power or activities as a governmental regulatory agency pursuant
to applicable laws and regulations relating to the Project or otherwise.
Section 29. Limitation on Borrower Liability. Notwithstanding any other provision or
obligation to the contrary contained in this Regulatory Agreement, and except for the
Borrower’s obligations under Section 9 of this Regulatory Agreement (which are not subject to
the provisions and limitations of this Section 29) (i) the liability of the Borrower under this
Regulatory Agreement to any person or entity, including, but not limited to, the Bondowner
Representative or the Issuer and their successors and assigns, is limited to the Borrower’s
interest in the Project, the revenues therefrom, including the amount held in the funds and
accounts created under the Indenture and the Loan Documents (as defined in the Loan
Agreement), or any rights of the Borrower under any guarantees relating to the Project, and
such persons and entities shall look exclusively thereto, or to such other security as may from
time to time be given for the payment of obligations arising out of this Regulatory Agreement or
any other agreement securing the obligations of the Borrower under this Regulatory
Agreement; and (ii) from and after the date of this Regulatory Agreement, no deficiency or
other personal judgment, in any action or proceeding brought to enforce any term or provision
of this Regulatory Agreement (other than any obligation to pay principal and/or interest), no
deficiency or other personal judgment, nor any order or decree of specific performance (other
August 9, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Official Minutes 567
-32-
than pertaining to this Regulatory Agreement), shall be rendered against the Borrower, the
assets of the Borrower (other than the Borrower’s interest in the Project, this Regulatory
Agreement, amounts held in the funds and accounts created under the Indenture and the Loan
Documents (as defined in the Loan Agreement), any rights of the Borrower under the Indenture
and the Loan Documents (as defined in the Loan Agreement) or any other documents relating
to the Bonds or any rights of the Borrower under any guarantees relating to the Project), its
partners, successors, transferees or assigns and each their respective officers, directors,
employees, partners, agents, heirs and personal representatives, as the case may be, in any
action or proceeding arising out of this Regulatory Agreement.
Nothing in this Section 29 or elsewhere in this Regulatory Agreement shall be construed
as limiting, waiving or otherwise affecting the direct recourse liability of Borrower and its
general partners under the Loan Documents and/or the liability of the applicable guarantor(s)
under the Guaranty (as defined and described in the Loan Agreement).
Section 30. Limited Liability. All obligations of the Issuer incurred under this
Regulatory Agreement shall be limited obligations, payable solely and only from Bond
proceeds and other amounts derived by the Issuer from the Loan or otherwise under the Loan
Agreement.
Section 31. Conflict With Other Affordability Agreements. In the event of any conflict
between the provisions of this Regulatory Agreement and any agreement referenced in Section
3(e)(iii) hereof, the provisions providing for the most affordable units, with the most
affordability, in the Development shall prevail, so long as at all times the requirements of
Section 2, 3, 4, 4A, 6 and 7 of this Regulatory Agreement are in any event satisfied.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a breach or default under any agreement referenced in Section
3(e)(iii) hereof shall not, in itself, constitute a breach or a default under this Regulatory
Agreement.

TABORA GARDENS PROJECT IN ANTIOCH

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
in Housing Trust funds. The total allocation of County resources is $3,000,000.
The purpose of the Tabora Gardens Senior Apartment development is to improve the supply of multi-family rental
housing affordable to and occupied by lower income senior households in East County through the construction of
an 84 unit apartment building in Antioch. Five of the units will be designated as HOPWA units, four units will be
designated as NSP units, eight units will be designated as Housing Trust units, and 18 units (including the other
County units) will be designated HOME-assisted units. One unit will be reserved for an on-site manager. All of
the County-assisted units will be affordable to households earning less than 50 percent of the area median income.
On April 12, 2016, the Board approved the HOPWA loan documents. Those documents were executed and funds
were disbursed in May, 2016. This transaction will include the termination of the April, 2016 HOPWA documents
and the HOPWA loan will be included in this new set of legal documents.
SAHA has formed a limited partnership, Tabora Gardens, L.P., to develop and own this project. Satellite AHA
Development, Inc. is the general partner with a SAHA affiliate as the initial limited partner. Raymond James Tax
Credit Funds, Inc. will replace the SAHA affiliate as the limited partner.
Additional financing for the development includes $3,283,755 in City of Antioch funds (former redevelopment
agency, Community Development Block Grant and NSP), $5.2 million in Veteran's Housing and Homeless
Prevention, $6.9 million in State Multi-family Housing, $12.2 million in four percent low income housing tax
credits, and $24 million in tax exempt bonds. The County is the issuer for tax exempt bonds.
HOME funds will be provided in the form of a 20-year, residual receipt loan with a three percent interest rate.
HOPWA funds will be provided as a 10-year fully deferred loan with no interest. Housing Trust and NSP funds
will be provided in the form of 55-year residual receipts loans with a three percent interest rate. The County will
have an additional regulatory agreement to ensure that the County-assisted units remain affordable following the
expiration of the 20-year HOME term and 10-year HOPWA affordability terms. The total term of affordability for
all County-assisted units is 55 years. There may be some payments if the project has surplus cash flow.
Affordability and use restrictions are incorporated into the County loan documents. The loan documents are
attached in their substantially final form and will be executed in a form approved by County Counsel. Through
this action, the DCD Director, or designee, is authorized to execute subordination agreements and estoppels that
are consistent with the terms in the Loan Agreement.
National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA): HOME and HOPWA projects are subject to review under NEPA
and section 24 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 58 review. The NEPA review for this project is complete
and required mitigation actions are included in the loan agreement. The City of Antioch, as the lead agency,
determined the project is exempt from CEQA. The County, as the responsible agency, posted a Notice of
Exemption on April 12, 2016, following Board of Supervisors action to approve the HOPWA legal documents.
Due to the high construction costs and limited revenue from the restricted rents, the total amount of the financing
provided to the project will likely exceed the value of the completed project. Even though the proposed equity
investment from low income housing tax credits is substantial compared to the amount of long term debt, the
partnership agreement will have numerous safe guards of the investor's equity. These safe guards essentially
subordinate the County’s debt to the investor’s equity. Therefore, the County funds may not be fully secured
through the value of the property. Though the County loans out the funds it receives from the federal government,
the funds are a grant to the County and do not need to be repaid to the U.S. Treasury.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Without the approval and execution of the HOME/HOPWA/NSP/Housing Trust legal documents, the project will
not be constructed. Tabora Gardens Senior Apartments must close on the County bond financing by September
12, 2016, pursuant to State requirements.

consent of the County and the City, full, complete and appropriate books, record and accounts

or other authorized representatives at reasonable intervals during normal business hours.

reasonable times at the place that the books, records and accounts of Borrower are kept.

period of not less than five (5) years after such statement is rendered, and for any period during

(c) County and City Audits.
i. The receipt by the County or the City of any statement pursuant to
subsection (a) above or any payment by Borrower or acceptance by the County or the City of any

ii. If it is determined as a result of an audit that there has been a
deficiency in a loan repayment to the County and/or the City, then such deficiency will become
immediately due and payable, with interest at the Default Rate from the date the deficient
amount should have been paid. In addition, if the audit determines that Residual Receipts have
been understated for any year by the greater of (i) $2,500, and (ii) an amount that exceeds five
percent (5%) of the Residual Receipts, then, in addition to paying the deficiency with interest,
Borrower shall pay all of the costs and expenses connected with the audit and review of

proceedings or other appropriate remedies.

priority, or enforceability of the lien granted to the other Party by a deed of trust secured by the
Property. Notwithstanding any failure of a Party to perfect its lien on the Property or any other
defect in the security interests or obligations owing to such Party, the priority and rights as
between the lenders that are Parties to this Agreement are as set forth in this Agreement.
8. Foreclosure Proceeds. If there is a foreclosure, or any other action, whether

Borrower shall submit to the County for its review a preliminary calculation of the Net
Proceeds of Permanent Financing and a draft of the Final Cost Certification as defined

Payment, plus accrued interest, on the Rental Shortfall Due Date.
(i) The "Rental Shortfall Due Date" is the date that occurs eighteen

fraction, the numerator of which is the then-outstanding principal balance on the HOME Loan
and the denominator of which is the number of HOME-Assisted Units.
(iii) Interest on the Rental Shortfall Payment will accrue in accordance
with Section 2.2(a) through the Rental Shortfall Due Date. If the Rental Shortfall Payment is
not paid on or before the Rental Shortfall Due Date, interest on the Rental Shortfall Payment

Expenses; and
(iii)Any additional documentation reasonably required by the County to
substantiate Borrower's calculation of Lenders' Share of Residual Receipts and Borrower's
Shared Portion of Residual Receipts.
(c) The receipt by the County of any statement pursuant to subsection (b)
above or any payment by Borrower or acceptance by the County of any Loan repayment for
any period does not bind the County as to the correctness of such statement or payment. The

thereto pursuant to Section 4.6 below.
Section 2.10 Non-Recourse.
Except as provided below, neither Borrower, nor any partner of Borrower, has any direct
or indirect personal liability for payment of the principal of, and interest on, the Loan. Following
recordation of the Deed of Trust, the sole recourse of the County with respect to the principal of,
or interest on, the Note will be to the property described in the Deed of Trust; provided, however,
that nothing contained in the foregoing limitation of liability limits or impairs the enforcement of
all the rights and remedies of the County against all such security for the Note, or impairs the
right of County to assert the unpaid principal amount of the Note as demand for money within
the meaning and intendment of Section 431.70 of the California Code of Civil Procedure or any
successor provision thereto. The foregoing limitation of liability is intended to apply only to the
obligation to repay the principal and interest on the Note. Except as hereafter set forth; nothing

liability, directly or indirectly arising out of or attributable to: (i) any actual or alleged past or
present violation of any Hazardous Materials Law; (ii) any Hazardous Materials Claim; (iii)
any actual or alleged past or present use, generation, manufacture, storage, release,
threatened release, discharge, disposal, transportation, or presence of Hazardous Materials
on, under, or about the Property; (iv) any investigation, cleanup, remediation, removal, or
restoration work of site conditions of the Property relating to Hazardous Materials (whether
on the Property or any other property); and (v) the breach of any representation of warranty
by or covenant of Borrower in this Section 4.7, and Section 5.1(l). Such indemnity shall
include, without limitation: (x) all consequential damages; (y) the costs of any required or
necessary investigation, repair, cleanup or detoxification of the Property and the preparation
and implementation of any closure, remedial or other required plans; and (z) all reasonable
costs and expenses incurred by the County in connection with clauses (x) and (y), including
but not limited to reasonable attorneys' fees and consultant fees. This indemnification
applies whether or not any government agency has issued a cleanup order. Losses, claims,
costs, suits, liability, and expenses covered by this indemnification provision include, but are
not limited to: (1) losses attributable to diminution in the value of the Property, (2) loss or
restriction of use of rentable space on the Property, (3) adverse effect on the marketing of any
rental space on the Property, and (4) penalties and fines levied by, and remedial or
enforcement actions of any kind issued by any regulatory agency (including but not limited
to the costs of any required testing, remediation, repair, removal, cleanup or detoxification of
the Property and surrounding properties). This obligation to indemnify will survive
termination of this Agreement and will not be diminished or affected in any respect as a
result of any notice, disclosure, knowledge, if any, to or by the County of Hazardous
Materials.
(e) Without the County's prior written consent, which will not be
unreasonably withheld, Borrower may not take any remedial action in response to the
presence of any Hazardous Materials on, under or about the Property, nor enter into any
August 9, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Official Minutes 652
32
863\98\1913621.3
settlement agreement, consent decree, or other compromise in respect to any Hazardous
Material Claims, which remedial action, settlement, consent decree or compromise might, in
the County's judgment, impair the value of the County's security hereunder; provided,
however, that the County's prior consent is not necessary in the event that the presence of
Hazardous Materials on, under, or about the Property either poses an immediate threat to the
health, safety or welfare of any individual or is of such a nature that an immediate remedial
response is necessary and it is not reasonably possible to obtain the County's consent before
taking such action, provided that in such event Borrower shall notify the County as soon as
practicable of any action so taken. The County agrees not to withhold its consent, where
such consent is required hereunder, if: (i) a particular remedial action is ordered by a court of
competent jurisdiction; (ii) Borrower will or may be subjected to civil or criminal sanctions
or penalties if it fails to take a required action; (iii) Borrower establishes to the satisfaction of
the County that there is no reasonable alternative to such remedial action which would result
in less impairment of the County's security hereunder; or (iv) the action has been agreed to
by the County.
(f) Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that: (i) this Section is
intended as the County's written request for information (and Borrower's response)
concerning the environmental condition of the Property as required by California Code of
Civil Procedure Section 726.5; and (ii) each representation and warranty in this Agreement
(together with any indemnity obligation applicable to a breach of any such representation and
warranty) with respect to the environmental condition of the Property is intended by the
Parties to be an "environmental provision" for purposes of California Code of Civil
Procedure Section 736.
(g) In the event that any portion of the Property is determined to be
"environmentally impaired" (as that term is defined in California Code of Civil Procedure
Section 726.5(e)(3)) or to be an "affected parcel" (as that term is defined in California Code
of Civil Procedure Section 726.5(e)(1)), then, without otherwise limiting or in any way
affecting the County's or the trustee's rights and remedies under the Deed of Trust, the
County may elect to exercise its rights under California Code of Civil Procedure Section
726.5(a) to: (i) waive its lien on such environmentally impaired or affected portion of the
Property; and (ii) exercise, (1) the rights and remedies of an unsecured creditor, including
reduction of its claim against Borrower to judgment, and (2) any other rights and remedies
permitted by law. For purposes of determining the County's right to proceed as an unsecured
creditor under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5(a), Borrower will be deemed
to have willfully permitted or acquiesced in a release or threatened release of Hazardous
Materials, within the meaning of California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5(d)(1), if
the release or threatened release of Hazardous Materials was knowingly or negligently
caused or contributed to by any lessee, occupant, or user of any portion of the Property and
Borrower knew or should have known of the activity by such lessee, occupant, or user which
caused or contributed to the release or threatened release. All costs and expenses, including
(but not limited to) attorneys' fees, incurred by the County in connection with any action
commenced under this paragraph, including any action required by California Code of Civil
Procedure Section 726.5(b) to determine the degree to which the Property is environmentally
impaired, plus interest thereon at the Default Rate, until paid, will be added to the
indebtedness secured by the Deed of Trust and is due and payable to the County upon its
August 9, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Official Minutes 653
33
863\98\1913621.3
demand made at any time following the conclusion of such action.
Section 4.8 Maintenance; Damage and Destruction.
(a) During the course of both construction and operation of the Development,
Borrower shall maintain the Development and the Property in good repair and in a neat, clean
and orderly condition, and in accordance with the Regulatory Agreements.
(b) Subject to the requirements of senior lenders, and if economically feasible
in the County's judgment after consultation with Borrower, if any improvement now or in the
future on the Property is damaged or destroyed, then Borrower shall, at its cost and expense,
diligently undertake to repair or restore such improvement consistent with the plans and
specifications approved by the County with such changes as have been approved by the
County. Such work or repair is to be commenced no later than the later of one hundred
twenty (120) days, or such longer period approved by the County in writing, after the damage
or loss occurs or thirty (30) days following receipt of the insurance proceeds, and is to be
complete within one (1) year thereafter. Any insurance proceeds collected for such damage
or destruction are to be applied to the cost of such repairs or restoration and, if such insurance
proceeds are insufficient for such purpose, then Borrower shall make up the deficiency. If
Borrower does not promptly make such repairs then any insurance proceeds collected for
such damage or destruction are to be promptly delivered by Borrower to the County as a
special repayment of the Loan, subject to the rights of the senior lenders, if any.
Section 4.9 Fees and Taxes.
Borrower is solely responsible for payment of all fees, assessments, taxes, charges, and
levies imposed by any public authority or utility company with respect to the Property or the
Development, and shall pay such charges prior to delinquency and at such times and in such
manner as to prevent any penalty from accruing, or any lien or charge from attaching to the
Property. Borrower is also solely responsible for payment of all personal property taxes, and all
franchise, income, employment, old age benefit, withholding, sales, and other taxes assessed
against it, or payable by it, and shall pay such charges prior to delinquency and at such times and
in such manner as to prevent any penalty from accruing, or any lien or charge from attaching to
the Property.
However, Borrower is not required to pay and discharge any such charge so long as: (i)
the legality thereof is being contested diligently and in good faith and by appropriate
proceedings; and (ii) if requested by the County, Borrower deposits with the County any funds or
other forms of assurance that the County in good faith from time to time determines appropriate
to protect the County from the consequences of the contest being unsuccessful.
In the event Borrower exercises its right to contest any tax, assessment, or charge against
it, Borrower, on final determination of the proceeding or contest, will immediately pay or
discharge any decision or judgment rendered against it, together with all costs, charges and
interest.
Borrower shall not apply for a property tax exemption for the Property under any
provision of law except California Revenue and Taxation Section 214(g) without the prior

consistent with: (1) HUD's requirements for use of HOPWA Funds, NSP1 Funds, and HOME

Section 4.12 Nondiscrimination.
(a) Borrower covenants by and for itself and its successors and assigns that
there will be no discrimination against or segregation of a person or of a group of persons on
account of race, color, religion, creed, age (except for lawful senior housing in accordance
with state and federal law), familial status, disability, sex, sexual orientation, marital status,
ancestry or national origin in the sale, lease, sublease, transfer, use, occupancy, tenure or
enjoyment of the Property, nor may Borrower or any person claiming under or through
Borrower 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 in the Property. The foregoing covenant will run with the
land.
(b) Nothing in this Section prohibits Borrower from requiring County-
Assisted Units in the Development to be available to and occupied by income eligible
households in accordance with the Regulatory Agreements, or from requiring the HOPWA-
Assisted Units in the Development to be available to and occupied by HOPWA Eligible
Households.
Section 4.13 Transfer.

agreements on behalf of the County to implement any approved Transfer.

its sole discretion. The Loan will automatically accelerate and be due in full upon any
Transfer made without the prior written consent of the County.
(c) The County hereby approves future Transfers of the limited partner
interest of Borrower provided that: (i) such Transfers do not affect the timing and amount of
the Investor Limited Partner capital contributions provided for in the Partnership Agreement;
and (ii) in subsequent Transfers, the Investor Limited Partner or an affiliate thereof, retains a

Borrower may contest in good faith any claim, demand, levy, or assessment the assertion
of which would constitute an Event of Default hereunder. Any such contest is to be prosecuted
diligently and in a manner unprejudicial to the County or the rights of the County hereunder.
Section 6.4 Remedies Cumulative.
No right, power, or remedy given to the County by the terms of this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents is intended to be exclusive of any other right, power, or remedy; and each
and every such right, power, or remedy is cumulative and in addition to every other right, power,
or remedy given to the County by the terms of any such instrument, or by any statute or
otherwise against Borrower and any other person. Neither the failure nor any delay on the part
of the County to exercise any such rights and remedies will operate as a waiver thereof, nor does
any single or partial exercise by the County of any such right or remedy preclude any other or
further exercise of such right or remedy, or any other right or remedy.
Section 6.5 Notice and Cure Rights of Limited Partner.
The County shall provide the Investor Limited Partner and any limited partner of
Borrower who has requested written notice from the County ("Permitted Limited Partner") a
duplicate copy of all notices of default that the County may give to or serve in writing upon
Borrower pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents, at the address set forth in Section 7.9,
provided, the County shall have no liability to the Permitted Limited Partner for its failure to do so.
The Permitted Limited Partner has the right, but not the obligation, to cure any default of Borrower
set forth in such notice, during the applicable cure period described in the Loan Documents, and the
County will accept tender of such cure as if delivered by Borrower. If the Permitted Limited
Partner is unable to cure a default because Borrower's general partner is in bankruptcy and/or
because the cure requires removal of the general partner of Borrower and the Permitted Limited
Partner is proceeding diligently to remove the general partner of Borrower in order to effect a
cure of the Default, the cure period will be extended for such reasonable time as is necessary for
the Permitted Limited Partner to effect a cure of the Default, but in no event longer than sixty (60)
days after the date of receipt by the Permitted Limited Partner of written notice of the default.

3. Term and Repayment Requirements. Principal and interest under this Note is due
and payable as set forth in Section 2.8 of the Loan Agreement. The unpaid principal balance
hereunder, together with accrued interest thereon, is due and payable no later than the date that is
the fifty-fifth (55th) anniversary of the Completion Date; provided, however, if a record of the
Completion Date cannot be located or established, the Loan is due and payable on the fifty-
seventh (57th) anniversary of the date of this Note.
4. No Assumption. This Note is not assumable by the successors and assigns of
Borrower without the prior written consent of Holder, except as provided in the Loan
Agreement.
5. Security. This Note, with interest, is secured by the Deed of Trust. Upon
execution, the Deed of Trust will be recorded in the official records of Contra Costa County,
California. Upon recordation of the Deed of Trust, this Note will become nonrecourse to
Borrower, pursuant to and except as provided in Section 2.10 of the Loan Agreement which
Section 2.10 is hereby incorporated into this Note. The terms of the Deed of Trust are hereby
incorporated into this Note and made a part hereof.
6. Terms of Payment.
(a) Borrower shall make all payments due under this Note in currency of the
United States of America to Holder at Department of Conservation and Development, 30 Muir
Road, Martinez, CA 94553, Attention: Affordable Housing Program Manager, or to such other

(b) All payments on this Note are without expense to Holder. Borrower shall
pay all costs and expenses, including re-conveyance fees and reasonable attorney's fees of
Holder, incurred in connection with the enforcement of this Note and the release of any security
hereof.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Note, or any instrument
securing the obligations of Borrower under this Note, if, for any reason whatsoever, the payment
of any sums by Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Note would result in the payment of
interest that exceeds the amount that Holder may legally charge under the laws of the State of
California, then the amount by which payments exceed the lawful interest rate will automatically
be deducted from the principal balance owing on this Note, so that in no event is Borrower
obligated under the terms of this Note to pay any interest that would exceed the lawful rate.
(d) The obligations of Borrower under this Note are absolute and Borrower
waives any and all rights to offset, deduct or withhold any payments or charges due under this

functions with respect to the Development, including without limitation the selection of Tenants,
certification and recertification of household size and income, evictions, collection of rents and
deposits, maintenance, landscaping, routine and extraordinary repairs, replacement of capital
items, and security. The County has no responsibility for management of the Development.
Borrower shall retain a professional property management company approved by the County in
August 9, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Official Minutes 703
24
863\98\1913683.3
its reasonable discretion to perform Borrower's management duties hereunder. An on-site
property manager is also required.
5.2 Management Agent. Borrower shall cause the Development to be managed by an
experienced management agent reasonably acceptable to the County, with a demonstrated abilit y
to operate residential facilities like the Development in a manner that will provide decent, safe,
and sanitary housing (the "Management Agent"). The County has approved Satellite Affordable
Housing Associates Property Management, Inc. as the Management Agent. Borrower shall
submit for the County's approval the identity of any proposed subsequent management agent.
Borrower shall also submit such additional information about the background, experience and
financial condition of any proposed management agent as is reasonably necessary for the County
to determine whether the proposed management agent meets the standard for a qualified
management agent set forth above. If the proposed management agent meets the standard for a
qualified management agent set forth above, the County shall approve the proposed management
agent by notifying Borrower in writing. Unless the proposed management agent is disapproved
by the County within thirty (30) days, which disapproval is to state with reasonable specificity
the basis for disapproval, it shall be deemed approved.
5.3 Periodic Performance Review. The County reserves the right to conduct an
annual (or more frequently, if deemed necessary by the County) review of the management
practices and financial status of the Development. The purpose of each periodic review will be
to enable the County to determine if the Development is being operated and managed in
accordance with the requirements and standards of this HOME/HOPWA Regulatory Agreement.
Borrower shall cooperate with the County in such reviews.
5.4 Replacement of Management Agent. If, as a result of a periodic review, the
County determines in its reasonable judgment that the Development is not being operated and
managed in accordance with any of the material requirements and standards of this
HOME/HOPWA Regulatory Agreement, the County shall deliver notice to Borrower of its
intention to cause replacement of the Management Agent, including the reasons therefor. Within
fifteen (15) days after receipt by Borrower of such written notice, the County staff and Borrower
shall meet in good faith to consider methods for improving the financial and operating status of
the Development, including, without limitation, replacement of the Management Agent.
If, after such meeting, County staff recommends in writing the replacement of the
Management Agent, Borrower shall promptly dismiss the then-current Management Agent, and
shall appoint as the Management Agent a person or entity meeting the standards for a
management agent set forth in Section 5.2 above and approved by the County pursuant to
Section 5.2 above.
Any contract for the operation or management of the Development entered into by
Borrower shall provide that the Management Agent may be dismissed and the contract
terminated as set forth above. Failure to remove the Management Agent in accordance with the
provisions of this Section constitutes a default under this HOME/HOPWA Regulatory
Agreement, and the County may enforce this provision through legal proceedings as specified in

Standards. The County will perform an on-site inspection within twelve months after

(10) days after delivery of the report to Borrower by the County with respect to graffiti, debris,
waste material, and general maintenance, or thirty (30) days after delivery of the report to
Borrower by the County with respect to landscaping and building improvements, then the

enter upon the Property and perform or cause to be performed all such acts and work necessary
to cure the violation. Pursuant to such right of entry, the County is permitted (but is not

PROPERTY MANAGEMENT AND MAINTENANCE
5.1 Management Responsibilities. Borrower is responsible for all management
functions with respect to the Development, including without limitation the selection of Tenants,
certification and recertification of household size and income, evictions, collection of rents and
deposits, maintenance, landscaping, routine and extraordinary repairs, replacement of capital
items, and security. The County has no responsibility for management of the Development.

its reasonable discretion to perform Borrower's management duties hereunder. An on-site
property manager is also required.

5.2 Management Agent. Borrower shall cause the Development to be managed by an
experienced management agent reasonably acceptable to the County, with a demonstrated ability
to operate residential facilities like the Development in a manner that will provide decent, safe,
and sanitary housing (the "Management Agent"). The County has approved Satellite Affordable
Housing Associates Property Management, Inc. as the Management Agent. Borrower shall
submit for the County's approval the identity of any proposed subsequent management agent.
Borrower shall also submit such additional information about the background, experience and
financial condition of any proposed management agent as is reasonably necessary for the County
to determine whether the proposed management agent meets the standard for a qualified
management agent set forth above. If the proposed management agent meets the standard for a
qualified management agent set forth above, the County shall approve the proposed management
agent by notifying Borrower in writing. Unless the proposed management agent is disapproved
by the County within thirty (30) days, which disapproval is to state with reasonable specificity
the basis for disapproval, it shall be deemed approved.
5.3 Periodic Performance Review. The County reserves the right to conduct an
annual (or more frequently, if deemed necessary by the County) review of the management
practices and financial status of the Development. The purpose of each periodic review will be
to enable the County to determine if the Development is being operated and managed in
accordance with the requirements and standards of this County Regulatory Agreement. Borrower
shall cooperate with the County in such reviews.
5.4 Replacement of Management Agent. If, as a result of a periodic review, the
County determines in its reasonable judgment that the Development is not being operated and
managed in accordance with any of the material requirements and standards of this County
Regulatory Agreement, the County shall deliver notice to Borrower of its intention to cause
replacement of the Management Agent, including the reasons therefor. Within fifteen (15) days
after receipt by Borrower of such written notice, the County staff and Borrower shall meet in
good faith to consider methods for improving the financial and operating status of the
Development, including, without limitation, replacement of the Management Agent.
If, after such meeting, County staff recommends in writing the replacement of the
Management Agent, Borrower shall promptly dismiss the then-current Management Agent, and
shall appoint as the Management Agent a person or entity meeting the standards for a
management agent set forth in Section 5.2 above and approved by the County pursuant to
Section 5.2 above.
Any contract for the operation or management of the Development entered into by
Borrower shall provide that the Management Agent may be dismissed and the contract
terminated as set forth above. Failure to remove the Management Agent in accordance with the
provisions of this Section constitutes a default under this County Regulatory Agreement, and the
County may enforce this provision through legal proceedings as specified in Section 6.5 below.
5.5 Approval of Management Policies. Borrower shall submit its written
management policies with respect to the Development to the County for its review, and shall
amend such policies in any way necessary to ensure that such policies comply with the
provisions of this County Regulatory Agreement.

sanitary condition, and in good condition and repair, in accordance with the maintenance
standards provided by the County (the "Maintenance Standards"). Borrower shall cause the

orders and regulations of all federal, state, county, municipal, and other governmental agencies
and bodies having or claiming jurisdiction and all their respective departments, bureaus, and
officials; and (ii) free of all health and safety defects. Borrower shall correct any life-threatening
maintenance deficiencies, including those set forth in the Maintenance Standards immediately
upon notification.
(b) At the beginning of each year of the Term, Borrower shall certify to the
County that the Development is in compliance with the Maintenance Standards.
5.7 Property Inspections.
(a) On-Site Physical Inspections. The County will perform on-site inspections
of the Development during the Term to ensure compliance with the Maintenance Standards.
The County will perform an on-site inspection within twelve months after completion of
construction of the Development and at least once every three (3) years during the Term. If the
Development is found to have health and safety violations, the County may perform more
frequent inspections. Borrower shall cooperate in such inspections.
(b) Violation of Maintenance Standards. If after an inspection, the County
determines that Borrower is in violation of the Maintenance Standards, the County will provide
Borrower a written report of the violations. Borrower shall correct the violations set forth in the
report provided to Borrower by County. The County will perform a follow-up inspection to
verify that the violations have been corrected. If such violations continue for a period of ten
(10) days after delivery of the report to Borrower by the County with respect to graffiti, debris,
waste material, and general maintenance, or thirty (30) days after delivery of the report to
Borrower by the County with respect to landscaping and building improvements, then the
County, in addition to whatever other remedy it may have at law or in equity, has the right to
enter upon the Property and perform or cause to be performed all such acts and work necessary
to cure the violation. Pursuant to such right of entry, the County is permitted (but is not
required) to enter upon the Property and to perform all acts and work necessary to protect,
maintain, and preserve the improvements and landscaped areas on the Property, and to attach a
lien on the Property, or to assess the Property, in the amount of the expenditures arising from
such acts and work of protection, maintenance, and preservation by the County and/or costs of
such cure, which amount Borrower shall promptly pay to the County upon demand.

AND SECURITY
Section 2.1 Maintenance and Modification of the Property by Trustor.
The Trustor agrees that at all times prior to full payment and performance of the Secured
Obligations, the Trustor will, at the Trustor's own expense, maintain, preserve and keep the
Security or cause the Security to be maintained and preserved in good condition. The Trustor
will from time to time make or cause to be made all repairs, replacements and renewals deemed
proper and necessary by it. The Beneficiary has no responsibility in any of these matters or for
the making of improvements or additions to the Security.
Trustor agrees to pay fully and discharge (or cause to be paid fully and discharged) all
claims for labor done and for material and services furnished in connection with the Security,
diligently to file or procure the filing of a valid notice of cessation upon the event of a cessation
of labor on the work or construction on the Security 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
Security 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 interest in and to the Security or the
Loan Documents; provided, however, that Beneficiary exercises its rights as agent of Trustor
only in the event that Trustor fails to take, or fails to diligently continue to take, those actions as
hereinbefore provided.
Upon demand by Beneficiary, Trustor shall make or cause to be made such demands or
claims as Beneficiary specifies upon laborers, materialmen, subcontractors or other persons who
have furnished or claim to have furnished labor, services or materials in connection with the
Security. Nothing herein contained requires 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 thirty (30) days after the filing of any claim of lien, record in the Office of the
Recorder of Contra Costa County, a surety bond in an amount 1 and 1/2 times the amount of
such claim item to protect against a claim of lien.

those required or desirable for installation and maintenance of public utilities including, without
limitation, water, gas, electricity, sewer, telephone and telegraph, or those required by law, and
as approved, in writing, by Beneficiary.
Section 2.3 Assignment of Rents.
As part of the consideration for the indebtedness evidenced by the Note, Trustor hereby
absolutely and unconditionally assigns and transfers to Beneficiary all the rents and revenues of
the Property including those now due, past due, or to become due by virtue of any lease or other
agreement for the occupancy or use of all or any part of the Property, regardless of to whom the
rents and revenues of the Property are payable, subject to the rights of senior lenders that are
approved by the Beneficiary pursuant to the Loan Agreement. Trustor hereby authorizes
Beneficiary or Beneficiary's agents to collect the aforesaid rents and revenues and hereby directs
each tenant of the Property to pay such rents to Beneficiary or Beneficiary's agents; provided,
however, that prior to written notice given by Beneficiary to Trustor of the breach by Trustor of
any covenant or agreement of Trustor in the Loan Documents, Trustor shall collect and receive
all rents and revenues of the Property as trustee for the benefit of Beneficiary and Trustor to
apply the rents and revenues so collected to the Secured Obligations with the balance, so long as
no such breach has occurred and is continuing, to the account of Trustor, it being intended by
Trustor and Beneficiary that this assignment of rents constitutes an absolute assignment and not
an assignment for additional security only. Upon delivery of written notice by Beneficiary to
Trustor of the breach by Trustor of any covenant or agreement of Trustor in the Loan
Documents, and without the necessity of Beneficiary entering upon and taking and maintaining
full control of the Property in person, by agent or by a court-appointed receiver, Beneficiary shall
immediately be entitled to possession of all rents and revenues of the Property as specified in this
Section 2.3 as the same becomes due and payable, including but not limited to, rents then due
and unpaid, and all such rents will immediately upon delivery of such notice be held by Trustor
as trustee for the benefit of Beneficiary only; provided, however, that the written notice by
Beneficiary to Trustor of the breach by Trustor contains a statement that Beneficiary exercises its
rights to such rents. Trustor agrees that commencing upon delivery of such written notice of
Trustor's breach by Beneficiary to Trustor, each tenant of the Property shall make such rents
payable to and pay such rents to Beneficiary or Beneficiary's agents on Beneficiary's written
demand to each tenant therefor, delivered to each tenant personally, by mail or by delivering
such demand to each rental unit, without any liability on the part of said tenant to inquire further
as to the existence of a default by Trustor.
Trustor hereby covenants that Trustor has not executed any prior assignment of said
rents, other than as security to senior lenders, that Trustor has not performed, and will not
perform, any acts or has not executed and will not execute, any instrument which would prevent
Beneficiary from exercising its rights under this Section 2.3, and that at the time of execution of
this Deed of Trust, there has been no anticipation or prepayment of any of the rents of the
Property for more than two (2) months prior to the due dates of such rents. Trustor covenants
that Trustor will not hereafter collect or accept payment of any rents of the Property more than
August 9, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Official Minutes 741
863\98\1913642.3 6
two (2) months prior to the due dates of such rents. Trustor further covenants that, so long as the
Secured Obligations are outstanding, Trustor will execute and deliver to Beneficiary such further
assignments of rents and revenues of the Property as Beneficiary may from time to time request.
Upon Trustor's breach of any covenant or agreement of Trustor in the Loan Documents,
Beneficiary may in person, by agent or by a court-appointed receiver, regardless of the adequacy
of Beneficiary's security, enter upon and take and maintain full control of the Property in order to
perform all acts necessary and appropriate for the operation and maintenance thereof including,
but not limited to, the execution, cancellation or modification of leases, the collection of all rents
and revenues of the Property, the making of repairs to the Property and the execution or
termination of contracts providing for the management or maintenance of the Property, all on
such terms as are deemed best to protect the security of this Deed of Trust. In the event
Beneficiary elects to seek the appointment of a receiver for the Property upon Trustor's breach of
any covenant or agreement of Trustor in this Deed of Trust, Trustor hereby expressly consents to
the appointment of such receiver. Beneficiary or the receiver will be entitled to receive a
reasonable fee for so managing the Property.
All rents and revenues collected subsequent to delivery of written notice by Beneficiary
to Trustor of the breach by Trustor of any covenant or agreement of Trustor in the Loan
Documents are to be applied first to the costs, if any, of taking control of and managing the
Property and collecting the rents, including, but not limited to, attorney's fees, receiver's fees,
premiums on receiver's bonds, costs of repairs to the Property, premiums on insurance policies,
taxes, assessments and other charges on the Property, and the costs of discharging any obligation
or liability of Trustor as lessor or landlord of the Property and then to the sums secured by this
deed of Trust. Beneficiary or the receiver is to have access to the books and records used in the
operation and maintenance of the Property and will be liable to account only for those rents
actually received. Beneficiary is not liable to Trustor, anyone claiming under or through Trustor
or anyone having an interest in the Property by reason of anything done or left undone by
Beneficiary under this Section 2.3.
If the rents of the Property are not sufficient to meet the costs, if any, of taking control of
and managing the Property and collecting the rents, any funds expended by Beneficiary for such
purposes will become part of the Secured Obligations pursuant to Section 3.3 hereof. Unless
Beneficiary and Trustor agree in writing to other terms of payment, such amounts are payable by
Trustor to Beneficiary upon notice from Beneficiary to Trustor requesting payment thereof and
will bear interest from the date of disbursement at the rate stated in Section 3.3.
If the Beneficiary or the receiver enters upon and takes and maintains control of the
Property, neither that act nor any application of rents as provided herein will cure or waive any
default under this Deed of Trust or invalidate any other right or remedy available to Beneficiary
under applicable law or under this Deed of Trust. This assignment of rents of the Property will
terminate at such time as this Deed of Trust ceases to secure the Secured Obligations.

ARTICLE 3
TAXES AND INSURANCE; ADVANCES
Section 3.1 Taxes, Other Governmental Charges and Utility Charges.
Trustor shall pay, or cause to be paid, prior to the date of delinquency, all taxes,
assessments, charges and levies imposed by any public authority or utility company that are or
may become a lien affecting the Security or any part thereof; provided, however, that Trustor is
not required to pay and discharge any such tax, assessment, charge or levy so long as (a) the
legality thereof is promptly and actively contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings,
and (b) Trustor maintains reserves adequate to pay any liabilities contested pursuant to this
Section 3.1. With respect to taxes, special assessments or other similar governmental charges,
Trustor shall pay such amount in full prior to the attachment of any lien therefor on any part of
the Security; provided, however, if such taxes, assessments or charges can be paid in
installments, Trustor may pay in such installments. Except as provided in clause (b) of the first
sentence of this paragraph, the provisions of this Section 3.1 may not be construed to require that
Trustor maintain a reserve account, escrow account, impound account or other similar account
for the payment of future taxes, assessments, charges and levies.
In the event that Trustor fails to pay any of the items required by this Section to be paid
by Trustor, Beneficiary may (but is under no obligation to) pay the same, after the Beneficiary
has notified the Trustor of such failure to pay and the Trustor fails to fully pay such items within
seven (7) business days after receipt of such notice. Any amount so advanced therefor by
Beneficiary, together with interest thereon from the date of such advance at the maximum rate
permitted by law, will become part of the Secured Obligations secured hereby, and Trustor
agrees to pay all such amounts.
Section 3.2 Provisions Respecting Insurance.
Trustor agrees to provide insurance conforming in all respects to that required under the
Loan Documents during the course of construction and following completion, and at all times
until all amounts secured by this Deed of Trust have been paid, all Secured Obligations secured
hereunder have been fulfilled, and this Deed of Trust has been reconveyed.
All such insurance policies and coverages are to be maintained at Trustor's sole cost and
expense. Certificates of insurance for all of the above insurance policies, showing the same to be
in full force and effect, are to be delivered to the Beneficiary upon demand therefor at any time
prior to Trustor's satisfaction of the Secured Obligations.
Section 3.3 Advances.
In the event the Trustor fails to maintain the full insurance coverage required by this
Deed of Trust or fails to keep the Security in accordance with the Loan Documents, the
Beneficiary, after at least seven (7) days prior notice to Trustor, may (but is under no obligation
to) (i) take out the required policies of insurance and pay the premiums on the same, and (ii)
make any repairs or replacements that are necessary and provide for payment thereof. All
August 9, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Official Minutes 743
863\98\1913642.3 8
amounts so advanced by the Beneficiary will become part of the Secured Obligations (together
with interest as set forth below) and will be secured hereby, which amounts the Trustor agrees to
pay on the demand of the Beneficiary, and if not so paid, will bear interest from the date of the
advance at the Default Rate.
ARTICLE 4
DAMAGE, DESTRUCTION OR CONDEMNATION
Section 4.1 Awards and Damages.
Subject to the rights of senior lenders, all judgments, awards of damages, settlements and
compensation made in connection with or in lieu of (1) the taking of all or any part of or any
interest in the Property by or under assertion of the power of eminent domain, (2) any damage to
or destruction of the Property or any part thereof by insured casualty, and (3) any other injury or
damage to all or any part of the Property (collectively, the "Funds") are hereby assigned to and
are to be paid to the Beneficiary by a check made payable to the Beneficiary. The Beneficiary is
authorized and empowered (but not required) to collect and receive any Funds and is authorized
to apply them in whole or in part to any indebtedness or obligation secured hereby, in such order
and manner as the Beneficiary determines at its sole option, subject to the provisions of Section
4.8 of the Loan Agreement regarding restoration of improvements following damage or
destruction. The Beneficiary is entitled to settle and adjust all claims under insurance policies
provided under this Deed of Trust and may deduct and retain from the proceeds of such
insurance the amount of all expenses incurred by it in connection with any such settlement or
adjustment. Application of all or any part of the Funds collected and received by the Beneficiary
or the release thereof will not cure or waive any default under this Deed of Trust.
ARTICLE 5

In the event of any Event of Default (as defined in Section 7.1) hereunder, and if the

hereunder or the enforcement of performance or observance of an obligation or agreement on the
part of the Trustor in this Deed of Trust, the Trustor agrees that it will, on demand therefor, pay

or permitted to be fixtures, this Deed of Trust constitutes a security agreement under the
California Commercial Code.
Section 5.5 Financing Statement.
The Trustor shall execute and deliver to the Beneficiary such financing statements
pursuant to the appropriate statutes, and any other documents or instruments as are required to
convey to the Beneficiary a valid perfected security interest in the Security. The Trustor shall
perform all acts that the Beneficiary reasonably requests so as to enable the Beneficiary to
maintain a valid perfected security interest in the Security in order to secure the payment of the
Note in accordance with its terms. The Beneficiary is authorized to file a copy of any such
financing statement in any jurisdiction(s) as it deems appropriate from time to time in order to
protect the security interest established pursuant to this instrument.

The Trustor herein covenants by and for itself, its heirs, executors, administrators, and
assigns, and all persons claiming under or through them, that there will be no discrimination
against or segregation of, any person or group of persons on account of race, color, creed,
religion, age, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, national origin or ancestry in the sale, lease,
sublease, transfer, use, occupancy, tenure or enjoyment of the Security, nor will the Trustor 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 in the Security. The foregoing covenants
run with the land.

ARTICLE 6
HAZARDOUS WASTE
Trustor shall keep and maintain the Property (including, but not limited to, soil and
ground water conditions) in compliance with all Hazardous Materials Laws and shall not cause
or permit the Property to be in violation of any Hazardous Materials Law (defined below).
Trustor may not cause or permit the use, generation, manufacture, storage or disposal of on,
under, or about the Property or transportation to or from the Property of (i) any substance,
material, or waste that is petroleum, petroleum-related, or a petroleum by-product, asbestos or
asbestos-containing material, polychlorinated biphenyls, flammable, explosive, radioactive, freon
gas, radon, or a pesticide, herbicide, or any other agricultural chemical, and (ii) any waste,
substance or material defined as or included in the definition of "hazardous substances,"
"hazardous wastes," "hazardous materials," "toxic materials", "toxic waste", "toxic substances,"
or words of similar import under any Hazardous Materials Law (collectively referred to
hereinafter as "Hazardous Materials"), except such of the foregoing as may be customarily used
in construction or operation of a multi-family residential development.
Trustor shall immediately advise Beneficiary in writing if at any time it receives written
notice of: (i) any and all enforcement, cleanup, removal or other governmental or regulatory
actions instituted, completed or threatened against Trustor or the Property pursuant to any
applicable federal, state or local laws, ordinances, or regulations relating to any Hazardous
Materials, health, industrial hygiene, environmental conditions, or the regulation or protection of
the environment, and all amendments thereto as of this date and to be added in the future and any
successor statute or rule or regulation promulgated thereto ("Hazardous Materials Law"); (ii) all
claims made or threatened by any third party against Trustor or the Property relating to damage,
contribution, cost recovery compensation, loss or injury resulting from any Hazardous Materials
(the matters set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above are hereinafter referred to as "Hazardous
Materials Claims"); and (iii) Trustor's discovery of any occurrence or condition on any real
property adjoining or in the vicinity of the Property that could cause the Property or any part
thereof to be classified as "border-zone property" (as defined in California Health and Safety
Code Section 25117.4) under the provision of California Health and Safety Code Section 25220
et seq., or any regulation adopted in accordance therewith, or to be otherwise subject to any
restrictions on the ownership, occupancy, transferability or use of the Property under any
Hazardous Materials Law.
Beneficiary has the right to join and participate in, as a party if it so elects, and be
represented by counsel acceptable to Beneficiary (or counsel of its own choice if a conflict exists
with Trustor) in, any legal proceedings or actions initiated in connection with any Hazardous
Materials Claims, and to have its reasonable attorneys' fees in connection therewith paid by
Trustor.
Trustor shall indemnify and hold harmless Beneficiary and its boardmembers, directors,
officers, employees, agents, successors and assigns from and against any loss, damage, cost, fine,
penalty, judgment, award, settlement, expense or liability, directly or indirectly arising out of or
attributable to: (i) any actual or alleged past or present violation of any Hazardous Materials
Law; (ii) any Hazardous Materials Claim; (iii) any actual or alleged past or present use,
August 9, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Official Minutes 746
863\98\1913642.3 11
generation, manufacture, storage, release, threatened release, discharge, disposal, transportation,
or presence of Hazardous Materials on, under, or about the Property; (iv) any investigation,
cleanup, remediation, removal, or restoration work of site conditions of the Property relating to
Hazardous Materials (whether on the Property or any other property); and (v) the breach of any
representation of warranty by or covenant of Trustor in this Article, and Section 5.1(l) of the
Loan Agreement. Such indemnity must include, without limitation: (x) all consequential
damages; (y) the costs of any required or necessary investigation, repair, cleanup or
detoxification of the Property and the preparation and implementation of any closure, remedial or
other required plans; and (z) all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Beneficiary in
connection with clauses (x) and (y), including but not limited to reasonable attorneys' fees and
consultant fees. This indemnification applies whether or not any government agency has issued
a cleanup order. Losses, claims, costs, suits, liability, and expenses covered by this
indemnification provision include, but are not limited to: (1) losses attributable to diminution in
the value of the Property; (2) loss or restriction of use of rentable space on the Property; (3)
adverse effect on the marketing of any rental space on the Property; and (4) penalties and fines
levied by, and remedial or enforcement actions of any kind issued by any regulatory agency
(including but not limited to the costs of any required testing, remediation, repair, removal,
cleanup or detoxification of the Property and surrounding properties). This obligation to
indemnify will survive reconveyance of this Deed of Trust and will not be diminished or affected
in any respect as a result of any notice, disclosure, knowledge, if any, to or by Beneficiary of
Hazardous Materials.
Without Beneficiary's prior written consent, which may not be unreasonably withheld,
Trustor may not take any remedial action in response to the presence of any Hazardous Materials
on, under or about the Property, nor enter into any settlement agreement, consent decree, or other
compromise in respect to any Hazardous Material Claims, which remedial action, settlement,
consent decree or compromise might, in Beneficiary's reasonable judgment, impairs the value of
the Beneficiary's security hereunder; provided, however, that Beneficiary's prior consent is not
necessary in the event that the presence of Hazardous Materials on, under, or about the Property
either poses an immediate threat to the health, safety or welfare of any individual or is of such a
nature that an immediate remedial response is necessary and it is not reasonably possible to
obtain Beneficiary's consent before taking such action, provided that in such event Trustor
notifies Beneficiary as soon as practicable of any action so taken. Beneficiary agrees not to
withhold its consent, where such consent is required hereunder, if (i) a particular remedial action
is ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction; (ii) Trustor will or may be subjected to civil or
criminal sanctions or penalties if it fails to take a required action; (iii) Trustor establishes to the
reasonable satisfaction of Beneficiary that there is no reasonable alternative to such remedial
action which would result in less impairment of Beneficiary's security hereunder; or (iv) the
action has been agreed to by Beneficiary.
The Trustor hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) this Article is intended as the
Beneficiary's written request for information (and the Trustor's response) concerning the
environmental condition of the Property as required by California Code of Civil Procedure
Section 726.5, and (ii) each representation and warranty in this Deed of Trust or any of the other
Loan Documents (together with any indemnity applicable to a breach of any such representation
and warranty) with respect to the environmental condition of the property is intended by the
August 9, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Official Minutes 747
863\98\1913642.3 12
Beneficiary and the Trustor to be an "environmental provision" for purposes of California Code
of Civil Procedure Section 736.
In the event that any portion of the Property is determined to be "environmentally
impaired" (as that term is defined in California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5(e)(3) or to
be an "affected parcel" (as that term is defined in California Code of Civil Procedure Section
726.5(e)(1), then, without otherwise limiting or in any way affecting the Beneficiary's or the
Trustee's rights and remedies under this Deed of Trust, the Beneficiary may elect to exercise its
rights under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5(a) to (1) waive its lien on such
environmentally impaired or affected portion of the Property and (2) exercise (a) the rights and
remedies of an unsecured creditor, including reduction of its claim against the Trustor to
judgment, and (b) any other rights and remedies permitted by law. For purposes of determining
the Beneficiary's right to proceed as an unsecured creditor under California Code of Civil
Procedure Section 726.5(a), the Trustor will be deemed to have willfully permitted or acquiesced
in a release or threatened release of hazardous materials, within the meaning of California Code
of Civil Procedure Section 726.5(d)(1), if the release or threatened release of hazardous materials
was knowingly or negligently caused or contributed to by any lessee, occupant, or user of any
portion of the Property and the Trustor knew or should have known of the activity by such
lessee, occupant, or user which caused or contributed to the release or threatened release. All
costs and expenses, including (but not limited to) attorneys' fees, incurred by the Beneficiary in
connection with any action commenced under this paragraph, including any action required by
California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5(b) to determine the degree to which the
Property is environmentally impaired, plus interest thereon at the Default Rate until paid, will be
added to the indebtedness secured by this Deed of Trust and will be due and payable to the
Beneficiary upon its demand made at any time following the conclusion of such action.
ARTICLE 7
EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
Section 7.1 Events of Default.
The following are events of default following the expiration of any applicable notice and
cure periods (each an "Event of Default"): (i) failure to make any payment to be paid by Trustor
under the Loan Documents; (ii) failure to observe or perform any of Trustor's other covenants,
agreements or obligations under the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the
provisions concerning discrimination; (iii) failure to make any payment or observe or perform
any of Trustor's other covenants, agreements, or obligations under any Secured Obligations,
which default is not cured within the times and in the manner provided therein; and (iv) failure to
make any payments or observe or perform any of Trustor's other covenants, agreements or
obligations under any other debt instrument or regulatory agreement secured by the Property,
which default is not cured within the time and in the manner provided therein.
Beneficiary shall provide notice of an Event of Default in the manner set forth in the
Loan Agreement.
August 9, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Official Minutes 748
863\98\1913642.3 13
Section 7.2 Acceleration of Maturity.
If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then at the option of the
Beneficiary, the amount of any payment related to the Event of Default and all unpaid Secured
Obligations are immediately due and payable, and no omission on the part of the Beneficiary to
exercise such option when entitled to do so may be construed as a waiver of such right.
Section 7.3 The Beneficiary's Right to Enter and Take Possession.
If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Beneficiary may:
(a) Either in person or by agent, with or without bringing any action or
proceeding, or by a receiver appointed by a court, and without regard to the adequacy of its
security, enter upon the Property and take possession thereof (or any part thereof) and of any of
the Security, in its own name or in the name of Trustee, and do any acts that it deems necessary
or desirable to preserve the value or marketability of the Property, or part thereof or interest
therein, increase the income therefrom or protect the security thereof. The entering upon and
taking possession of the Security will not cure or waive any Event of Default or Notice of Sale
(as defined in Section 7.3(c), below) hereunder or invalidate any act done in response to such
Event of Default or pursuant to such Notice of Sale, and, notwithstanding the continuance in
possession of the Security, Beneficiary will be entitled to exercise every right provided for in this
Deed of Trust, or by law upon occurrence of any Event of Default, including the right to exercise
the power of sale;
(b) Commence an action to foreclose this Deed of Trust as a mortgage,
appoint a receiver, or specifically enforce any of the covenants hereof;
(c) Deliver to Trustee a written declaration of an Event of Default and
demand for sale, and a written notice of default and election to cause Trustor's interest in the
Security to be sold ("Notice of Sale"), which notice Trustee or Beneficiary shall cause to be duly
filed for record in the Official Records of Contra Costa County; or
(d) Exercise all other rights and remedies provided herein, in the instruments
by which the Trustor acquires title to any Security, or in any other document or agreement now
or hereafter evidencing, creating or securing the Secured Obligations.
Section 7.4 Foreclosure By Power of Sale.
Should the Beneficiary elect to foreclose by exercise of the power of sale herein
contained, the Beneficiary shall deliver to the Trustee the Notice of Sale and shall deposit with
Trustee this Deed of Trust which is secured hereby (and the deposit of which will be deemed to
constitute evidence that the Secured Obligations are immediately due and payable), and such
receipts and evidence of any expenditures made that are additionally secured hereby as Trustee
may require.
(a) Upon receipt of the Notice of Sale from the Beneficiary, Trustee shall
cause to be recorded, published and delivered to Trustor such Notice of Sale as is then required
by law and by this Deed of Trust. Trustee shall, without demand on Trustor, after the lapse of
August 9, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Official Minutes 749
863\98\1913642.3 14
that amount of time as is then required by law and after recordation of such Notice of Sale as
required by law, sell the Security, at the time and place of sale set forth in the Notice of Sale,
whether as a whole or in separate lots or parcels or items, as Trustee deems expedient and in
such order as it determines, unless specified otherwise by the Trustor according to California
Civil Code Section 2924g(b), at public auction to the highest bidder, for cash in lawful money of
the United States payable at the time of sale. Trustee shall deliver to such purchaser or
purchasers thereof its good and sufficient deed or deeds conveying the property so sold, but
without any covenant or warranty, express or implied. The recitals in such deed or any matters
of facts will be conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof. Any person, including, without
limitation, Trustor, Trustee or Beneficiary, may purchase at such sale.
(b) After deducting all reasonable costs, fees and expenses of Trustee,
including costs of evidence of title in connection with such sale, Trustee shall apply the proceeds
of sale to payment of: (i) the unpaid Principal amount of the Note; (ii) all other Secured
Obligations owed to Beneficiary under the Loan Documents; (iii) all other sums then secured
hereby; and (iv) the remainder, if any, to Trustor.
(c) Trustee may postpone sale of all or any portion of the Property by public
announcement at such time and place of sale, and from time to time thereafter, and without
further notice make such sale at the time fixed by the last postponement, or may, in its discretion,
give a new Notice of Sale.
Section 7.5 Receiver.
If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, Beneficiary, as a matter of right and
without further notice to Trustor or anyone claiming under the Security, and without regard to
the then value of the Security or the interest of Trustor therein, may apply to any court having
jurisdiction to appoint a receiver or receivers of the Security (or a part thereof), and Trustor
hereby irrevocably consents to such appointment and waives further notice of any application
therefor. Any such receiver or receivers will have all the usual powers and duties of receivers in
like or similar cases, and all the powers and duties of Beneficiary in case of entry as provided
herein, and will continue as such and exercise all such powers until the date of confirmation of
sale of the Security, unless such receivership is sooner terminated.
Section 7.6 Remedies Cumulative.
No right, power or remedy conferred upon or reserved to the Beneficiary by this Deed of
Trust is intended to be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy, but each and every such
right, power and remedy will be cumulative and concurrent and will be in addition to any other
right, power and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity.
Section 7.7 No Waiver.
(a) No delay or omission of the Beneficiary to exercise any right, power or
remedy accruing upon any Event of Default will exhaust or impair any such right, power or
remedy, and may not be construed to be a waiver of any such Event of Default or acquiescence
therein; and every right, power and remedy given by this Deed of Trust to the Beneficiary may
be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expeditious by the Beneficiary.
August 9, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Official Minutes 750
863\98\1913642.3 15
Beneficiary's express or implied consent to breach, or waiver of, any obligation of the Trustor
hereunder will not be deemed or construed to be a consent to any subsequent breach, or further
waiver, of such obligation or of any other obligations of the Trustor hereunder. Failure on the
part of the Beneficiary to complain of any act or failure to act or to declare an Event of Default,
irrespective of how long such failure continues, will not constitute a waiver by the Beneficiary of
its right hereunder or impair any rights, power or remedies consequent on any Event of Default
by the Trustor.
(b) If the Beneficiary (i) grants forbearance or an extension of time for the
payment or performance of any Secured Obligation, (ii) takes other or additional security or the
payment of any sums secured hereby, (iii) waives or does not exercise any right granted in the
Loan Documents, (iv) releases any part of the Security from the lien of this Deed of Trust, or
otherwise changes any of the terms, covenants, conditions or agreements in the Loan Documents,
(v) consents to the granting of any easement or other right affecting the Security, or (vi) makes or
consents to any agreement subordinating the lien hereof, any such act or omission will not
release, discharge, modify, change or affect the original liability under this Deed of Trust, or any
other obligation of the Trustor or any subsequent purchaser of the Security or any part thereof, or
any maker, co-signer, endorser, surety or guarantor (unless expressly released); nor will any such
act or omission preclude the Beneficiary from exercising any right, power or privilege herein

RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)
agreements, and other documents which the officer may deem necessary or advisable in order to consummate the
lawful issuance and delivery of the Notes in accordance with the Resolution.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No impact to the General Fund. At the closing for the Notes, the County is reimbursed for costs incurred in the
issuance process. Annual expenses for monitoring of Regulatory Agreement provisions ensuring units in the
Development will be rented to low income households will be reimbursed through issuer fees established in the
documents for the Notes. The Notes will be solely secured by and payable from revenues (e.g. Development rents,
reserves, etc.) pledged under the Note documents. No County funds are pledged to secure the Notes.
BACKGROUND:
The recommended action is the adoption of a Resolution by the Board, as the legislative body of the County,
authorizing the issuance of multifamily housing revenue notes, the proceeds of which will be used to finance the
acquisition and rehabilitation of Riviera Family Apartments, a 58 unit residential housing development located at
1515 Riviera and 1738 Riviera in Walnut Creek.
The ownership entity for the development will be Riviera Family Apartments, L.P., a California limited
partnership with RCD GP LLC serving as general partner of the Borrower. The ownership entity is an affiliate of
Resources for Community Development, a local non-profit housing developer that has developed over 450 units
of housing in Contra Costa County. Wells Fargo Bank will be the tax credit investor limited partner.
On December 8, 2015, the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 2015/455 expressing the Board's intent
to issue multi-family housing revenue notes for the Development. That Resolution authorized the submittal of an
application by the County for tax-exempt private activity bond authority from the California Debt Limit
Allocation Committee. Subsequent to the adoption of that Resolution, the County, as required by Section 147(f) of
the Internal Revenue Code, held a noticed public hearing to permit interested parties to comment on the proposed
financing and the Development. That hearing was held on January 4, 2016, with no comments received from the
public. The Board adopted Resolution No. 2016/31 on January 19, 2016, to authorize proceeding with the
issuance of the Notes pursuant to Section 147(f) of the Internal Revenue Code.
On March 16, 2016, the California Debt Limit Allocation Committee awarded the County authority to issue the
Notes in a maximum principal amount of $19,200,000. That authority will be used to issue and sell the Notes
directly to MUFG Union Bank N.A. with the proceeds of the Notes to be used to fund a loan by the County to
Riviera Family Apartments, L.P. In addition to the proceeds of the Notes, the Development will utilize other forms
of financing detailed in Attachment A. The transaction is expected to close on or about August 18, 2016.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Negative action would prevent the County from issuing the Multifamily Housing Revenue Notes in order to
provide a loan to Riviera Family Apartments, L.P. to finance the construction of Riviera Family Apartments.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
Riviera Family Apartments provide 58 units of affordable rental housing appropriate for families. This supports
outcome #3: Families are Economically Self Sufficient.

appointment of the Bank as agent for the Governmental Lender under this Funding Loan
Agreement, all late charges and prepayment penalties as set forth in the Funding Loan Notes,
all taxes and assessments, general or special, including, without limitation, all ad valorem taxes,
concerning or in any way related to the Development, or any part thereof, and any other
governmental charges and impositions whatsoever, foreseen or unforeseen, and all utility and
other charges and assessments; provided, however, that the Governmental Lender reserves the
right to contest in good faith the legality of any tax or governmental charge concerning or in any
way related to the Development and the Governmental Lender’s obligations hereunder will be
limited as provided in Sections 4.1, 5.2 and 6.14 hereof.
(c) The Governmental Lender further agrees, subject to Sections 4.1, 5.2 and 6.14 hereof,
to cause the Borrower to pay to the Bank, solely by the execution of the Borrower Loan

the Governmental Lender under this Funding Loan Agreement, on the Closing Date a loan fee
equal to $__________.
5.2 Nature of the Governmental Lender’s Obligations. The Governmental Lender shall
repay the Funding Loan Notes, but only from amounts received by the Governmental Lender or
the Bank (in its capacity as assignee of the Governmental Lender under this Funding Loan
Agreement) from the Borrower pursuant to the Borrower Loan Agreement, the corresponding
Borrower Notes and the other Borrower Loan Documents, pursuant to the terms of the Funding
Loan Notes irrespective of any rights of set-off, recoupment or counterclaim the Governmental
Lender might otherwise have against the Bank or any other person. The Governmental Lender
will not suspend, discontinue or reduce any such payment or (except as expressly provided
herein) terminate this Funding Loan Agreement for any cause, including, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, (i) any delay or interruption in the acquisition, rehabilitation or
operation of any of the Development; (ii) the failure to obtain any permit, order or action of any
kind from any governmental agency relating to the Funding Loan or any of the Development;
(iii) any event constituting force majeure; (iv) any acts or circumstances that may constitute
commercial frustration of purpose; (v) any change in the laws of the United States of America,
the State or any political subdivision thereof; or (vi) any failure of the Governmental Lender or
August 9, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Official Minutes 783
-13-
the Bank to perform or observe any covenant whether expressed or implied, or to discharge any
duty, liability or obligation arising out of or connected with the Funding Loan Notes; it being
the intention of the parties that, as long as any of the Funding Loan Notes or any portion of any
thereof remains outstanding and unpaid, the Governmental Lender shall be obliged to repay
the Funding Loan, but only from amounts received by the Governmental Lender or the Bank (in
its capacity as assignee of the Governmental Lender under this Funding Loan Agreement) from
the Borrower pursuant to the Borrower Loan Agreement, the Borrower Notes and the other
Borrower Loan Documents. This Section 5.2 shall not be construed to release the Governmental
Lender from any of its obligations hereunder, or, except as provided in this Section 5.2, to
prevent or restrict the Governmental Lender from asserting any rights which it may have
against the Bank under the Funding Loan Notes or under any provision of law or to prevent or
restrict the Governmental Lender from prosecuting or defending any action or proceeding by or
against the Bank or the Borrower or taking any other action to protect or secure its rights, or to
prevent or restrict the Bank from asserting any rights which it may have against the Borrower.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the members of the Board of Supervisors of the
Governmental Lender nor the officers or agents of the Governmental Lender shall be personally
liable for the amounts owing under this Funding Loan Agreement, the Funding Loan Notes or
any of the other Funding Loan Documents; and the Bank’s remedies in the event of a default
under the Funding Loan shall be limited to those remedies set forth in Section 9.3 hereof and, if
a default also exists under the Borrower Loan Agreement or the Borrower Notes, to commence
foreclosure under Deed of Trust and the other Borrower Loan Documents and the exercise of
the power of sale or other rights granted thereunder. In the event of a default hereunder or
under a Funding Loan Note, the Bank shall not have the right to proceed directly against the
Governmental Lender or the right to obtain a deficiency judgment from the Governmental
Lender after foreclosure. Nothing contained in the foregoing shall limit any rights or remedies
the Governmental Lender or Bank may have against the Borrower.
ARTICLE VI
FURTHER AGREEMENTS
6.1 Successor to the Governmental Lender. The Governmental Lender will at all times
use its best efforts to maintain the powers, functions, duties and obligations now reposed in it
pursuant to law or assure the assumptions of its obligations hereunder by any public trust or
political subdivision succeeding to its powers.
6.2 Additional Instruments. The Governmental Lender hereby covenants to execute and
deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, at the expense of the Borrower, such additional
instruments and to perform such additional acts, or cause the performance of such additional
acts, as may be necessary, in the written opinion of the Bank, acting in good faith, to carry out
the intent of this Funding Loan Agreement and the Funding Loan Notes or to perfect or give
further assurances of any of the rights granted, or provided for in this Funding Loan
Agreement, the Assignment of Deed of Trust or the other Funding Loan Documents.
6.3 Books and Records. The Governmental Lender shall, solely by the execution of the
Borrower Loan Agreement and the assignment thereof to the Bank, and subject to the
August 9, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Official Minutes 784
-14-
provisions of Sections 4.1, 5.2 and 6.14 hereof, cause the Borrower to permit the Bank or its duly
authorized representatives access during normal business hours to the books and records of the
Borrower pertaining to the Borrower Loan and the Development, and to make such books and
records available for audit and inspection, at reasonable times and under reasonable conditions
to the Governmental Lender, the Bank and their duly authorized representatives, and at the sole
expense of the Borrower.
6.4 Notice of Certain Events. The Governmental Lender hereby covenants to advise the
Bank promptly in writing of the occurrence of any Event of Default under and as defined in the
Borrower Loan Agreement, Regulatory Agreements or the other Funding Loan Documents of
which it has received written notice, or any event which, with the passage of time or service of
notice, or both, would constitute an Event of Default thereunder of which it has received
written notice, in each case by transmitting to the Bank a copy of the notice of such Event of
Default or event received by the Governmental Lender. In Section 7.23 of the Borrower Loan
Agreement, the Borrower has agreed to advise the Governmental Lender and the Bank
promptly in writing of the occurrence of any Event of Default (as defined in the Borrower Loan
Agreement).
6.5 Compliance with Usury Laws. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Funding
Loan Agreement, it is agreed and understood that in no event shall this Funding Loan
Agreement, with respect to the Funding Loan Notes, be construed as requiring the
Governmental Lender or any other person to pay interest and other costs or considerations that
constitute interest under any applicable law which are contracted for, charged or received
pursuant to this Funding Loan Agreement and the Funding Loan Notes in an amount in excess
of the maximum amount of interest allowed under any applicable law.
In the event of any acceleration of the payment of the principal amount of a Funding
Loan Note, that portion of any interest payment in excess of the maximum legal rate of interest,
if any, provided for in this Funding Loan Agreement and the Funding Loan Note or related
documents shall be cancelled automatically as of the date of such acceleration, or if theretofore
paid, credited to the principal amount then owing on the related Funding Loan Note.
The provisions of this Section prevail over any other provision of this Funding Loan
Agreement.
6.6 No Reliance on Governmental Lender. In entering into this Funding Loan
Agreement and the Borrower Loan Agreement, the Bank has not looked to, or expected, the
Governmental Lender to undertake or require any credit investigation or due diligence reviews
relating to the Borrower, its financial condition or business operations, the Development
(including the financing or management therof) or any other matter pertaining to the merits or
risks of the transactions contemplated by this Funding Loan Agreement and the Borrower Loan
Agreement, or the adequacy of the funds pledged to the Bank to secure repayment of the
Funding Loan Notes. The Governmental Lender has made no representations to any party
relating to the Borrower, the Development, the Borrower Loan or the security or sources of
payment therefor, except as expressly stated in this Funding Loan Agreement, the Borrower
Loan Agreement, the Tax Certificate, Assignment of Deed of Trust and the Regulatory
Agreements.

6.7 No Arbitrage. Solely in reliance upon the covenants and representations of the
Borrower in the Borrower Loan Agreement, in the Regulatory Agreements and in the Tax
Certificate, the Governmental Lender shall not take nor permit nor suffer to be taken, any action
with respect to the proceeds of Tax-Exempt Notes which, if such action had been reasonably
expected to have been taken, or had been deliberately and intentionally taken, on the Closing
Date would have caused either of the Tax-Exempt Notes to be an “arbitrage bond” within the
meaning of section 148 of the Code and the Regulations promulgated thereunder. The
Governmental Lender covenants, solely in reliance upon the covenants and representations of
the Borrower in the Borrower Loan Agreement, in the Regulatory Agreements and in the Tax
Certificate, to cause the Borrower to rebate to the United States Treasury any amounts which
are required to be rebated thereto pursuant to the Code and any regulations promulgated
thereunder with respect to the portion of the Funding Loan evidenced by the Tax-Exempt
Notes, and the Borrower shall cause payment of an amount equal to excess investment earnings
with respect to such portion of the Funding Loan to the United States in accordance with the
Regulations, all at the sole expense of the Borrower.
6.8 Limitation on Issuance Costs. The Governmental Lender shall assure, solely in
reliance upon the covenants and representations of the Borrower in the Borrower Loan
Agreement, in the Regulatory Agreements and in the Tax Certificate, that, from the proceeds of
the Tax-Exempt Notes received from the Bank and investment earnings thereon, an amount not
in excess of two percent (2%) of the amount of such amount advanced by the Bank shall be used
to pay for, or provide for the payment of costs associated with the issuance, execution and
delivery of the Tax-Exempt Notes. For this purpose, if the fees of the Bank are retained as a
discount on the purchase of a Tax-Exempt Note, such retention shall be deemed to be an
expenditure of proceeds of the Tax-Exempt Note for said fees.
6.9 Federal Guarantee Prohibition. The Governmental Lender shall take no action nor,
solely in reliance upon the covenants and representations of the Borrower in the Borrower Loan
Agreement, in the Regulatory Agreements and in the Tax Certificate, permit nor suffer any
action to be taken if the result of the same would be to cause either of the Tax-Exempt Notes to
be “federally guaranteed” within the meaning of Section 149(b) of the Code.
6.10 Prohibited Facilities. The Governmental Lender, solely in reliance upon the
covenants and representations of the Borrower in the Borrower Loan Agreement, in the
Regulatory Agreements and in the Tax Certificate, shall assure that no portion of the proceeds
of the Tax-Exempt Notes shall be used to provide any airplane, skybox or other private luxury
box, health club facility, facility primarily used for gambling, or store the principal business of
which is the sale of alcoholic beverages for consumption off premises. The Governmental
Lender, solely in reliance upon the covenants and representations of the Borrower in the
Borrower Loan Agreement, in the Regulatory Agreements and in the Tax Certificate, shall
assure that no portion of the proceeds of the Tax-Exempt Notes shall be used for an office unless
the office is located on the premises of the facilities constituting a portion of the Development
and unless not more than a de minimus amount of the functions to be performed at such office
is not related to the day-to-day operations of one or more of the Development.

-16-
6.11 Use Covenant. Solely in reliance upon the covenants and representations of the
Borrower in the Borrower Loan Agreement, in the Regulatory Agreements and in the Tax
Certificate, the Governmental Lender shall not use or knowingly permit the use of any proceeds
of Tax-Exempt Notes or any other funds of the Governmental Lender, directly or indirectly, in
any manner, and shall not take or permit to be taken any other action or actions, which would
result in either of the Tax-Exempt Notes not meeting the requirements of Section 142(d) of the
Code as applicable to the Development.
6.12 Limitation of Expenditure of Proceeds. The Governmental Lender shall assure,
solely in reliance upon the covenants and representations of the Borrower in the Borrower Loan
Agreement, in the Regulatory Agreements and in the Tax Certificate, that not less than 97
percent of the amount advanced on the Tax-Exempt Notes, plus premium (if any) paid on the
purchase of the Tax-Exempt Notes by the original purchaser thereof from the Governmental
Lender, less any original discount, are used for Qualified Project Costs (as defined in the
Regulatory Agreements) and that less than 25 percent of such amount is used for land or an
interest in land.
6.13 Tax-Exempt Status of Tax-Exempt Notes. The Governmental Lender covenants to
and for the benefit of the Bank that, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Funding Loan
Agreement or any other instrument, it will:
(a) not knowingly take or cause to be taken any action or actions, or knowingly
fail to take any action or actions expressly required of it under this Funding Loan
Agreement, which would cause the interest payable on the Tax-Exempt Notes to be
includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes;
(b) whenever and so often as requested by Bank, the Governmental Lender (at
the sole cost and expense of the Borrower) shall do and perform all acts and things
permitted by law and necessarily desirable in order to assure the interest paid by the
Governmental Lender on the Tax-Exempt Notes will be excluded from the gross income
of the owner of the Tax-Exempt Notes for federal income tax purposes pursuant to
Section 103 of the Code, except in the event where any owner of a Tax-Exempt Note is a
“substantial user” of the facilities financed with the Funding Loan or a “related person”
within the meaning of Section 147(a) of the Code; and
(c) not knowingly take any action nor, solely in reliance of the covenants and
representations of the Borrower in the Borrower Loan Agreement, the Regulatory
Agreements and the Tax Certificate, knowingly permit or suffer any action to be taken if
the result of the same would be to cause the Tax-Exempt Notes to be “federally
guaranteed” within the meaning of Section 149(b) of the Code of the Regulations.
For purposes of this Section 6.13 the Governmental Lender’s compliance shall be based
solely on matters within the Governmental Lender’s knowledge and control and no acts,
omissions or directions of the Borrower, the Bank or any other Persons shall be attributed to the
Governmental Lender.
August 9, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Official Minutes 787

In complying with the foregoing covenants, the Governmental Lender may rely from
time to time on an opinion of Tax Counsel.
6.14 Immunities and Limitations of Responsibility of Governmental Lender.
(a) The Governmental Lender shall be entitled to the advice of counsel, and the
Governmental Lender shall be wholly protected as to action taken or omitted in reliance on
such advice. The Governmental Lender may rely conclusively on any written or other
document furnished to it hereunder or under the Borrower Loan Agreement and reasonably
believed by it to be genuine. The Governmental Lender shall in no event be liable for the
application or misapplication of funds or for other acts or defaults by any person, except its own
officers and employees. When any payment or consent or other action by it is called for hereby,
it may defer such action pending receipt of such evidence (if any) as it may require in support
thereof. The Governmental Lender shall not be required to take any remedial action (other than
the giving of notice) hereunder or under any of the other Funding Loan Documents unless
indemnity in a form acceptable to the Governmental Lender is furnished for any expense or
liability to be incurred in connection with such remedial action. The Governmental Lender
shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Borrower for its expenses reasonably incurred or
advances reasonably made, with interest at the maximum rate of interest permitted under
applicable law, in the exercise of its rights or the performance of its obligations hereunder, to
the extent that it acts without previously obtaining indemnity. No permissive right or power to
act which the Governmental Lender may have shall be construed as a requirement to act; and
no delay in the exercise of a right or power shall affect its subsequent exercise of the right or
power.
(b) A default by the Borrower in any of its covenants, representations and agreements in
the Borrower Loan Agreement, Regulatory Agreements or Tax Certificate on which the
Governmental Lender is relying in the various sections of this Article VI shall not be considered
a default hereunder by the Governmental Lender.
(c) The Borrower has indemnified the Governmental Lender against certain acts and
events as set forth in Section 7.24 of the Borrower Loan Agreement and Section 9 of the
Regulatory Agreements. Such indemnities shall survive payment of the Funding Loan and
discharge of this Funding Loan Agreement.
ARTICLE VII

delivery of the Funding Loan Notes by the Governmental Lender. The Security so pledged
and/or thereafter received by Governmental Lender or the Bank shall immediately be subject to
the lien of such pledge and security interest without any physical delivery or recording thereof
or further act, and the lien of such pledge and security interest shall be valid and binding and
prior to the claims of any and all parties having claims of any kind whether in tort, contract or
otherwise against Governmental Lender irrespective of whether such parties have notice
thereof.
7.2 Delivery of Security. In connection with such pledge, assignment, transfer and
conveyance of the Security pursuant to Section 7.1, Governmental Lender shall deliver to Bank
the following documents or instruments promptly following the execution and, to the extent

ARTICLE IX
EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
9.1 Events of Default. Each of the following shall be an “Event of Default”:
(a) The Governmental Lender shall fail to perform or observe any of its
covenants or agreements contained in this Funding Loan Agreement or the Funding
Loan Notes including the failure to pay any installment of interest or principal under a
Funding Loan Note, and such failure shall continue during and after the period
specified in Section 9.2; or
(b) Any representation or warranty of the Governmental Lender hereunder shall
be determined by the Bank to have been false in any material respect when made; or
(c) The Borrower shall fail to pay to the Governmental Lender when due the
amounts required to be paid under the Borrower Loan Agreement or the Borrower
Notes, including a failure to repay any amounts which have been previously paid but
are recovered, attached or enjoined pursuant to any insolvency receivership, liquidation
or similar proceedings after the expiration of any curative provision contained therein;
or
(d) the occurrence of any other Event of Default under and as defined in the
Borrower Loan Agreement.
9.2 Notice of Default; Opportunity to Cure. No default under Section 9.1 hereof shall
constitute an Event of Default until:
(a) The Governmental Lender by registered or certified mail, shall have received
notice of such default specifying the same and stating that such notice is a “Notice of
Default”; and
(b) With respect to an event described in Section 9.1(a) only, the Governmental
Lender shall have had 30 days after receipt of such notice to correct the default and shall
not have corrected it; provided, however, that if the default stated in the notice is of such
August 9, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Official Minutes 792
-22-
a nature that it cannot be corrected within 30 days, such default shall not constitute an
Event of Default hereunder so long as (i) the Governmental Lender or the Borrower
institutes corrective action within said 30 days, and diligently pursues such action until
the default is corrected, but in no event later than 60 days after the occurrence of such
Event of Default, and (ii) in the opinion of the Tax Counsel to the Governmental Lender,
the failure to cure said default within 30 days will not adversely affect the exclusion
from gross income for federal income tax purposes of interest on the Tax-Exempt Notes.
The Governmental Lender may, but shall not in any way be required to, correct a default
on behalf of the Borrower under the Borrower Loan Agreement or a Borrower Note.
9.3 Remedies. Whenever any Event of Default under Section 9.1 hereof shall have
happened and be continuing, the Bank may take whatever remedial steps as may be allowed
under the law, this Funding Loan Agreement and the other Funding Loan Documents. Upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Bank may (i) by notice in writing to the Governmental
Lender, declare the principal of all the Funding Loan Notes then outstanding, and the interest
accrued and premium thereon, to be due and payable immediately, upon any such declaration
the same shall become and shall be immediately due and payable, anything in this Funding
Loan Agreement or in the Funding Loan Notes contained to be contrary notwithstanding,
and/or (ii) pursue such other remedies as are permitted under applicable law, subject in any
event to the provisions of Sections 4.1, 5.2 and 6.14 hereof. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, Bank shall have all rights, powers and remedies with
respect to the Security as are available under the Uniform Commercial Code applicable thereto
or as available under any other applicable law at the time in effect and, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Bank may proceed at law or in equity or otherwise, to the extent
permitted by applicable law: (a) to take possession of the Security or any part thereof, with or
without legal process, and to hold, service and administer and enforce any rights thereunder or
thereto, and otherwise exercise all rights of ownership thereof, including (but not limited) the
sale of all or any part of the Security; (b) to become mortgagee of record for the Borrower Loan;
(c) to take such actions necessary to enforce the Borrower Loan Documents and the Funding
Loan Documents on its own behalf, to take such alternate courses of action, as it may deem
appropriate; or (d) to take such steps to protect and enforce its rights whether by action, suit or
proceeding and equity or at law for the specific performance of any term, condition or
agreement in this Funding Loan Agreement, the Funding Loan Notes or the other Funding
Loan Documents or in and on the execution of any power herein granted, or for the foreclosure
hereunder, or for the enforcement of any other appropriate legal or equitable remedy or
otherwise as the Bank may elect, subject in any event to the Reserved Rights.
9.4 Attorneys’ Fees and Expenses. If an Event of Default occurs and if the Governmental
Lender or the Bank should employ attorneys or incur expenses for the enforcement of any
obligation or agreement of the Governmental Lender contained herein, the Governmental
Lender shall cause the Borrower (solely by its execution and assignment of the Borrower Loan
Agreement) on demand to pay to the Governmental Lender or the Bank the reasonable fees of
such attorneys and the reasonable expenses so incurred, including court appeals.
9.5 No Remedy Exclusive. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Bank is
intended to be exclusive of any other available remedy or remedies, but each and every such
remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given under this

-23-
Funding Loan Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. No
delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default shall impair any
such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver thereof, but any such right and power
may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. In order to
entitle the Bank to exercise any remedy reserved to it in this Article IX, it shall not be necessary
to give any notice, other than such notice as may be herein expressly required.
9.6 No Additional Waiver Implied by One Waiver. In the event any agreement or
covenant contained in this Funding Loan Agreement should be breached by the Governmental
Lender or the Borrower and thereafter waived by the Bank, such waiver shall be limited to the
particular breach so waived and shall not be deemed to waive any other breach hereunder
including any other breach of the same agreement or covenant.
9.7 Actions Under Borrower Loan Documents. Whether or not an Event of Default has
occurred, the Bank, in its sole discretion, shall have the sole right to waive or forebear any term,
condition, covenant or agreement in the Borrower Loan Documents applicable to the Borrower
or any breach thereof, other than the covenant that would adversely impact the tax-exempt
status of the interest on the Tax-Exempt Notes and provided that the Bank shall have no right to
waive and the Governmental Lender may seek specific performance by Borrower to enforce the
Reserved Rights.
9.8 Application on Money Collected. Any money collected by Bank pursuant to this
Article and any other sums held by Bank as part of the Security, shall be applied in the
following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Bank:
(a) First, to the payment of any and all amounts due under the Funding Loan
Documents other than with respect to principal and interest accrued on the Funding
Loan, including, without limitation, any amounts due to Governmental Lender or Bank;
(b) Second, to the payment of the whole amount of the Funding Loan, as
evidenced by the Funding Loan Notes, then due and unpaid and respect of which or for
the benefit of which such money has been collected, with interest (to the extent that such
interest has been collected or sum sufficient therefor has been so collected at the rates
prescribed therefore in the Funding Loan Notes) on overdue principal of and any
premium on the Funding Loan so called provided, however, that partial payments of
any portion of the Funding Loan shall be applied by Bank in such order priority as Bank
may determine in its sole and absolute discretion; and
(c) Third, the remainder, if any to the person legally entitled thereto.
9.9 Suits to Protect the Security. The Bank shall have the power to institute and maintain
such proceedings as Bank may deem expedient to prevent any impairment of the Security by
any acts that may be unlawful or in violation of this Funding Loan Agreement and to protect
the interest in the Security and in the rent, issues, profits, revenues and other income arising
therefrom.

(a) At all times from and after the Funding Date to (but excluding) the Conversion
Date, the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Borrower Note A-1 and the Borrower
Note A-2 shall accrue interest at a rate which is 65% of the LIBOR Rate plus the Margin
(applicable during the Construction Phase) for the then current Interest Period and the
outstanding principal balance of the Borrower Note A-T shall accrue interest at a rate which is the
LIBOR Rate plus the Margin (applicable during the Construction Phase) for the then current
Interest Period. The Variable Rate for the next Interest Period shall change on each Interest
Change Date based on changes in the LIBOR Rate. There is no limit on the amount the Variable
Rate may increase or decrease during the term of the Borrower Loan.
(b) At all times from and after the Conversion Date, the aggregate outstanding
principal balance of the Borrower Note A-1 and the Borrower Note A-2 shall accrue interest at a
rate which is 65% of the LIBOR Rate plus the Margin (applicable during the Permanent Phase)
for the then current Interest Period. The Variable Rate for the next Interest Period shall change
on each Interest Change Date based on changes in the LIBOR Rate. There is no limit on the
amount the Variable Rate may increase or decrease during the term of the Borrower Note A-1
and the Borrower Note A-2.
(c) At all times after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, all principal outstanding under the Borrower Note shall accrue interest at the Default
Rate.
3.1.3 Monthly Payments.
(a) Commencing on the First Payment Date and continuing on the 1st day of each
calendar month thereafter through and including the Outside Conversion Date, payments in
respect of the Borrower Loan shall be interest only, in arrears, on the outstanding principal of the
Borrower Note at the Variable Rate. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360
days, for actual days elapsed, prior to the Outside Conversion Date.
(b) Commencing on the Amortization Date and on the 1st day of each calendar
month thereafter through the Maturity Date, Borrower shall pay to Bank monthly installments of
principal with respect to the Borrower Note A-1 as set forth on Schedule 1 to be attached hereto
and incorporated herein by this reference (the "Principal Payments"), plus interest accrued for the
applicable Interest Period on the principal balance outstanding from time to time on the Borrower
Note A-1 at the Variable Rate. Said principal and interest payments are hereinafter collectively
referred to as the "Regular Payments" and are subject to change as and when the Variable Rate
changes. The Regular Payments will be applied first to accrued but unpaid interest then due, and
then to principal. A payment will be treated as made on the date it is received. At Conversion,
Schedule 1 shall be prepared by Bank and attached to this Agreement and shall consist of a
schedule of the monthly installments of principal required to fully amortize the outstanding
principal balance of the Borrower Note A-1 owing on the Conversion Date, assuming equal
monthly payments of principal and interest, an amortization period of three hundred sixty (360)
months and a fixed rate of interest equal to the fixed rate or maximum interest rate of the Hedge
in effect as of the Conversion Date. Bank shall provide Borrower with a copy of Schedule 1 once
it is prepared by Bank, but the effectiveness and date of such payment shall not be affected by
such notice or lack thereof. Bank‟s determination of said Regular Payments shall be conclusive
absent manifest error. All computations of interest shall be made on the basis of a year of 360
days, for actual days elapsed. On the Maturity Date, all principal and accrued interest then
outstanding with respect to the Borrower Note A-1 shall be immediately due and payable.

(c) Commencing on the Amortization Date and on the 1st day of each calendar
month thereafter through the Maturity Date, Borrower shall pay to Bank monthly installments of
principal with respect to the Borrower Note A-2 as set forth on Schedule 2 to be attached hereto
and incorporated herein by this reference (the "Principal Payments"), plus interest accrued for the
applicable Interest Period on the principal balance outstanding from time to time on the Borrower
Note A-2 at the Variable Rate. Said principal and interest payments are hereinafter collectively
referred to as the "Regular Payments" and are subject to change as and when the Variable Rate
changes. The Regular Payments will be applied first to accrued but unpaid interest then due, and
then to principal. A payment will be treated as made on the date it is received. At Conversion,
Schedule 2 shall be prepared by Bank and attached to this Agreement and shall consist of a
schedule of the monthly installments of principal required to fully amortize the outstanding
principal balance of the Borrower Note A-2 owing on the Conversion Date, assuming equal
monthly payments of principal and interest, an amortization period of one hundred eighty (180)
months and a fixed rate of interest equal to the fixed rate or maximum interest rate of the Hedge
in effect as of the Conversion Date. Bank shall provide Borrower with a copy of Schedule 2 once
it is prepared by Bank, but the effectiveness and date of such payment shall not be affected by
such notice or lack thereof. Bank‟s determination of said Regular Payments shall be conclusive
absent manifest error. All computations of interest shall be made on the basis of a year of 360
days, for actual days elapsed. On the Maturity Date, all principal and accrued interest then
outstanding with respect to the Borrower Note A-2 shall be immediately due and payable.
3.2 Conversion; Termination.
3.2.1 Not later than 30 days prior to the earlier to occur of the proposed Conversion
Date or the Outside Conversion Date, Borrower shall deliver the Conversion Election Notice to Bank. The
Conversion Election Notice shall be accompanied by (a) a written certification by Borrower to Bank that all
of the Conditions to Conversion have been fully satisfied; (b) a rent roll covering the Property for each of
the three full calendar months immediately preceding the date of the Conversion Election Notice, certified
by Borrower as true, correct and complete; and (c) operating statements for the Property for each of such
three calendar months, in the form required by Bank, and certified by Borrower to be true, correct and
complete.
3.2.2 The Conditions to Conversion specified in Exhibit D shall be applicable to the
Conversion. Bank shall have the right to waive any Condition to Conversion set forth in Exhibit D in
Bank‟s sole and absolute discretion.
3.2.3 If, based upon the information delivered pursuant to Section 3.2.1 and such other
information as Bank may require as evidence of satisfaction of the Conditions to Conversion, Bank
determines that the Conditions to Conversion have been fully satisfied, Bank shall deliver the Conversion
Notice, which Conversion Notice shall state the Conversion Date, a copy of Schedule “1” to be attached
hereto setting forth the monthly installments of principal required to be paid by Borrower under the
Borrower Note A-1, and a copy of Schedule “2” to be attached hereto setting forth the monthly
installments of principal required to be paid by Borrower under the Borrower Note A-2, as more
particularly set forth in Sections 3.1.3(b) above.
3.2.4 Upon Conversion (and so long as all Conditions to Conversion are satisfied) the
following documents shall be deemed automatically terminated and shall have no further force or effect
without any further action by any Loan Party: (i) the Guaranty (except for the Indemnity Agreement); (ii)
the Assignment of Tax Credits and Partnership Interests, and (iii) the Assignment of Partnership Interest
(GP).

together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and other accrued and unpaid fees, costs and
expenses owing under the Borrower Loan Documents and the Funding Loan Documents.
3.2.6 Non-Recourse After Conversion Date. From and after the Conversion Date,
Governmental Lender and Bank agree that Governmental Lender‟s and Bank‟s recovery against
Borrower in the event of a default under this Agreement, the Borrower Note or under any of the other
Borrower Loan Documents shall be limited solely to, and Governmental Lender and Bank shall only
proceed against, the Trust Estate (as defined in the Deed of Trust), together with the rents, issues, profits
and income therefrom and proceeds and products thereof, and any other collateral given as security for
Borrower‟s performance under the Borrower Loan Documents, and in no event shall (i) Borrower be
personally liable for the payment of the Borrower Note or for the payment of any deficiency established
upon foreclosure and the sale of the Trust Estate, or (ii) any other assets of Borrower (or any general
partner of Borrower) be subject to levy, execution or other enforcement procedure in connection with any
such default. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower (and each general partner of Borrower) shall be
fully and personally liable to Governmental Lender and Bank for the costs or damages arising from any of
the following:
(a) gross negligence, fraud, willful misrepresentation or waste by Borrower, to the full
extent of Governmental Lender‟s and Bank‟s loss attributable thereto;
(b) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation` or warranty pertaining to any
Hazardous Substances (as that term is defined in that certain Environmental Compliance
Agreement (the “ECA”) executed in favor of Governmental Lender and Bank by Borrower
concurrently herewith), any failure in the due, prompt and complete observance and performance
of any covenant or other obligation imposed under or pursuant to the ECA, or the presence of any
Hazardous Substance on, under or about the Trust Estate, whenever arising;
(c) failure to pay taxes, assessments or other charges which can create liens on any
portion of the Trust Estate (to the full extent of any such taxes, assessments or other charges);
(d) any loss which would have been covered by insurance required to be maintained
under the terms of any of the Borrower Loan Documents, which Borrower failed to maintain;
(e) failure to deliver to Bank any funds which should have been paid to Bank under
the terms of the Borrower Loan Documents or the distribution of earnings or income from the
Trust Estate in violation of the Borrower Loan Documents; or
(f) any loss resulting from any claim or cause of action by a contractor, material
supplier or other person or entity entitled to file a mechanic‟s lien against the Trust Estate.
In addition, Borrower and each General Partner shall be fully and personally liable to
Governmental Lender and Bank for the full amount of the Borrower Loan and all other obligations
evidenced by the Borrower Loan Documents in the event (i) all or any part of the Trust Estate, other
assets of Borrower or any ownership interest in Borrower is transferred in violation of the Borrower Loan
Documents; (ii) any voluntary or involuntary proceeding under any laws relating to bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, debt adjustment or debtor relief is commenced by or against
Borrower or by or against any owner of the Property and, as to involuntary proceedings, is not dismissed
within sixty (60) days; or (iii) Governmental Lender‟s or Bank‟s exercise of its rights and remedies under
the Borrower Loan Documents is hindered, delayed, interfered with or prejudiced by or as a result of any
act, omission, fraud or misrepresentation of Borrower or any other party now or hereafter liable for any
part of the Borrower Loan.
The provisions hereof shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any obligation of Borrower or
any other party or limitation of any kind of any right of Governmental Lender or Bank at law or equity or
under any guaranty or other Borrower Loan Documents, provided that the assertion by Governmental

Construction and Permanent Loan Agreement
Revised 4/18/08 (7-20-09)
2459/014742-1002
9778371 20 cla.doc
Lender or Bank of any such right shall not result in a monetary claim upon the general unsecured assets
of Borrower except as provided herein.
3.3 Maturity Date. All unpaid principal and interest on the Borrower Loan and other amounts
due under the Borrower Loan Documents and the Funding Loan Documents shall be due and payable in
full on the Maturity Date, as such date may be extended or accelerated.
3.4 Application of Payments. All payments and prepayments received by Governmental
Lender or Bank pursuant to the terms hereof shall be applied in the following manner: first, to the
payment of any Late Charge then due; second to the payment of all expenses, charges, costs and fees
(including, but not limited to, the Prepayment Fee) incurred by or payable to Governmental Lender or
Bank by Borrower pursuant to the terms of the Borrower Loan Documents (in such order and manner as
Bank, in its sole discretion, may elect); third, payable pro rata to the payment of all interest accrued to the
date of such payment on the Borrower Note A-T, Borrower Note A-2, and Borrower Note A-1; and fourth
payable pro rata to the payment of principal on Borrower Note A-T, Borrower Note A-2, and Borrower
Note A-1. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, after the occurrence and during the
continuation of an Event of Default, all amounts received by Governmental Lender and Bank from any
party shall be applied in such order as Bank in its sole discretion, may elect.
3.5 Acceleration. If any of the payments required by the terms hereof shall not be paid
when due and such failure shall continue beyond any applicable notice and cure periods, or if the
payment due on the Maturity Date is not paid when due, whether by acceleration or otherwise, or if an
Event of Default occurs, then, or at any time thereafter, the whole of the unpaid principal and interest
owing on the Borrower Loan shall, at the option of Bank and without notice, become immediately due and
payable. This acceleration option may be exercised at any time after any such event and the acceptance
of one or more installments or other payments from any Person thereafter shall not constitute a waiver of
Bank‟s acceleration option. Bank‟s failure to exercise such acceleration option in connection with any
particular event or series of events shall not be construed as a waiver of the provisions hereof as regards
such events or any subsequent events. The other Borrower Loan Documents may contain provisions that
provide for the automatic acceleration of amounts owing in connection with the Borrower Loan upon the
occurrence of certain specified events. Bank shall have, and be entitled to exercise, upon the occurrence
of any Event of Default or other event described above, all rights and remedies available to Bank
hereunder, under the other Borrower Loan Documents or Funding Loan Documents or at law or in equity.
All such rights and remedies shall be cumulative.
3.6 Late Charge; Default Interest. Borrower recognizes that any default by Borrower in
making the payments required under the Borrower Loan Documents when due will result in Governmental
Lender and Bank incurring additional expense in servicing the Borrower Loan, in loss of the use of the
money due and in frustration of meeting commitments under the Funding Loan Documents. Borrower
agrees that, if for any reason Borrower fails to pay when due any payment due under this Agreement or
under any of the other Borrower Loan Documents, any amount advanced under the Deed of Trust or the
amount due on the Maturity Date, or the accelerated Maturity Date, whichever shall first occur, Bank shall
be entitled to damages for the detriment caused thereby, but that it is extremely difficult and impractical to
ascertain the extent of such damages. Borrower therefore agrees that a reasonable estimate of such
damages to Bank is as follows:
3.6.1 In the event Borrower fails to pay any installment of principal and interest (other
than payment on the Maturity Date) within ten days after the same is due, then Borrower shall pay to
Bank a Late Charge.
3.6.2 In the event Borrower fails to reimburse Bank for any amount advanced under
the Deed of Trust within ten days after written notice of such advance is made by Bank to Borrower, then
such unreimbursed amount shall thereafter bear interest at the Default Rate until paid, such interest to be
compounded annually.

9778371 21 cla.doc
3.6.3 In the event the payment of principal and accrued but unpaid interest due on the
Maturity Date, or the accelerated Maturity Date, as applicable, is not made in full when due, then such
amounts shall thereafter bear interest at the Default Rate, until paid, such interest to be compounded
annually.
3.7 Prepayment. Pursuant to the terms of this Section 3.7, the Borrower Loan may be
prepaid by Borrower when and to the extent that the Funding Loan Notes are susceptible to prepayment
under the Funding Loan Documents, provided that Borrower shall in no event voluntarily or involuntarily
prepay the Borrower Loan in whole or in part unless Borrower pays to Bank, concurrently with such
prepayment, a prepayment fee as calculated below.
3.7.1 Variable Rate Principal. Any Variable Rate Principal may be prepaid prior to
the scheduled payment date, whether voluntary or involuntary, in whole or in part, provided Borrower has
given Bank not less than five (5) business days prior written notice of Borrower‟s intention to make such
prepayment and pays to Bank the prepayment fee due as a result. The prepayment fee shall be an
amount equal to the present value of the product of: (i) the difference (but not less than zero) between
(a) the Variable Rate applicable to the principal amount which is being prepaid, and (b) the return which
Bank could obtain if it used the amount of such prepayment of principal to purchase a bid price regularly
quoted securities issued by the United States having a Maturity Date most closely coinciding with the last
day of the relevant Interest Period and such securities were held by Bank until the last day of the relevant
Interest Period (“Yield Rate”); (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the period
between the date of prepayment and the last day of the relevant Interest Period, and the denominator of
which is 360, and (iii) the amount of principal so prepaid. The present value shall be determined by
discounting the above product to present value using the Yield Rate as the annual discount factor. Bank
shall provide Borrower a statement of the amount payable on account of prepayment. Borrower
acknowledges that (i) Bank establishes a Variable Rate upon the understanding that it apply to the
Variable Rate Principal for the entire Interest Period, and (ii) Governmental Lender would not lend to
Borrower at a Variable Rate without Debtor‟s express agreement to pay the prepayment fee described
above.
3.7.2 No Prepayment Fee Due. Notwithstanding Section 3.7.1 above, no prepayment
fee shall be payable (i) in connection with the prepayment of Variable Rate Principal in connection with
the prepayment of principal during the ninety (90) day period immediately preceding the Outside
Conversion Date or Maturity Date.
3.7.3 No Refund. In no event shall Bank be obligated to make any payment or refund
to Borrower, nor shall Borrower be entitled to any setoff or other claim against Bank, should the return
which Bank could obtain under the prepayment formula exceed the interest that Governmental Lender
would have received if no prepayment had occurred.
3.7.4 Payment of Accrued Interest. All prepayments shall include payment of
accrued interest on the principal amount so prepaid, shall be applied to payment of interest before
application to principal, and shall be applied to the most remote principal installment or installments then
unpaid (i.e., the principal balance due on the Maturity Date and then against installments due closest to
the Maturity Date).
3.7.5 Involuntary Prepayment. Such prepayment fee shall also be payable if
prepayment occurs as the result of any involuntary prepayment (e.g., proceeds of insurance or
condemnation or any prepayment required in order to satisfy the Conditions to Conversion) or the
acceleration of the principal hereof by Bank because of any default by Borrower (including any transfer or
conveyance of any right, title or interest in the real property encumbered by the Deed of Trust) that gives
Bank the right to accelerate the maturity of the Borrower Loan pursuant to the terms of the Deed of Trust.
If, following any such acceleration, all or any portion of the unpaid principal is satisfied, whether through
sale of the property encumbered by the Deed of Trust or other agreement securing the Borrower Loan at
a foreclosure held thereunder or through the tender of payment at any time following such acceleration,

but prior to such a foreclosure sale, then such satisfaction of principal shall be deemed an evasion of the
prepayment provisions hereof, and Bank shall, automatically and without notice or demand, be entitled to
receive, concurrently with such satisfaction of principal the prepayment fee set forth above, and the
obligation to pay such prepayment fee shall be added to the principal hereof.
BORROWER HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT GOVERNMENTAL
LENDER WOULD NOT LEND TO BORROWER THE BORROWER LOAN EVIDENCED BY THE
BORROWER NOTE WITHOUT BORROWER'S AGREEMENT TO PAY BANK A PREPAYMENT FEE
AS SET FORTH ABOVE. BORROWER EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT UNDER CALIFORNIA
CIVIL CODE SECTION 2954.10 OR OTHERWISE TO PREPAY THE BORROWER LOAN WITHOUT A
PREPAYMENT FEE AS HEREINABOVE SET FORTH. BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT
PREPAYMENT OF THE BORROWER LOAN MAY RESULT IN GOVERNMENTAL LENDER AND
BANK INCURRING ADDITIONAL COSTS, EXPENSES OR LIABILITIES. BORROWER THEREFORE
AGREES THAT THE PREPAYMENT FEE HEREIN PROVIDED FOR REPRESENTS A REASONABLE
ESTIMATE OF THE PREPAYMENT COSTS, EXPENSES OR LIABILITIES GOVERNMENTAL
LENDER AND BANK MAY INCUR ON A PREPAYMENT. BORROWER AGREES THAT
GOVERNMENTAL LENDER’S WILLINGNESS TO OFFER THE VARIABLE RATE DESCRIBED
ABOVE TO BORROWER IS SUFFICIENT AND INDEPENDENT CONSIDERATION, GIVEN
INDIVIDUAL WEIGHT BY GOVERNMENTAL LENDER AND BANK FOR THIS WAIVER. BORROWER
UNDERSTANDS THAT GOVERNMENTAL LENDER WOULD NOT OFFER SUCH AN INTEREST
RATE TO BORROWER ABSENT THIS WAIVER. BORROWER HAS CAUSED THOSE PERSONS

3.7.6 Certification. A certificate as to the amount of any prepayment fee payable
under this Section, setting forth the basis for such fee, prepared by Bank and submitted to Borrower shall
be conclusive as to the matters set forth therein, and the Borrower Loan shall not be deemed to have
been fully paid or satisfied until such fee shall have been paid.
3.7.7 Effect of Prepayment on Hedge. Borrower and Bank hereby agree that, in
accordance with and subject to the terms of any Hedge Documents, any Hedge entered into between
Borrower and Bank in connection with the Borrower Loan shall, upon the making of any prepayment of
amounts outstanding under the Borrower Loan, be subject to an Additional Termination Event (as defined
in such Hedge Documents) and may be terminated as and to the extent more particularly provided in the
documents and agreements evidencing such Hedge. Any amounts (which may be substantial) payable
by Borrower to Bank, or by Bank to Borrower in respect of such full or partial termination of such Hedge
shall be determined under the terms and conditions of the Hedge Documents relating to such Hedge.
3.8 Additional Fee Payment Obligations. All payments to fund taxes, insurance or any
other escrow or reserve required to be established, funded or created pursuant to any Borrower Loan
Document or Funding Loan Document, shall be due and payable by Borrower to Bank the date monthly
payments are due pursuant to Section 3.1.3 commencing in the month following the month in which the

Document.

as represented by Borrower Note A-1 and Borrower Note A-2 after December 31, 2019 will adversely

purposes. The portion of the Borrower Loan disbursed into the Borrower‟s Funds Account shall be
deemed outstanding as of the date advanced into the Borrower‟s Funds Account and will immediately
commence to accrue interest as provided in Section 3.1.2. All Borrower Loan funds disbursed into the

SPECIAL CONDITIONS
1. The following representations and warranties are incorporated by reference in Section 6
of this Agreement:
(a) The Project is located wholly within the jurisdiction of the Governmental Lender.
(b) The Borrower shall make no changes to the Project or to the operation thereof
which would affect the qualification of the Project under the Act or impair the exclusion from gross income
for federal income tax purposes of the interest on the Tax-Exempt Notes. The Borrower intends to utilize
the Project as multifamily rental housing during the Qualified Project Period (as defined in the Tax-
Exempt Regulatory Agreement).
(c) Not in excess of two percent (2%) of the proceeds of the Borrower Loan as
represented by the Borrower Note A-1 and Borrower Note A-2 will be used to pay costs of issuance of the
Tax-Exempt Notes.
(d) The acquisition, construction and operation of the Project in the manner presently
contemplated and as described herein and in the Tax-Exempt Regulatory Agreement will not conflict with
any zoning, water or air pollution or other ordinance, order, law or regulation applicable thereto. The
Borrower will cause the Project to be constructed and operated in all material respects in accordance with
all applicable federal, state and local laws or ordinances (including rules and regulations) relating to
zoning, building, safety and environmental quality.
(e) The Borrower acknowledges, represents and warrants that it understands the
nature and structure of the Project; that it is familiar with the provisions of all of the documents and
instruments relating to the financing of the Project to which it is a party; that it understands the risks
inherent in such transactions, including without limitation the risk of loss of the Project; and that it has not
relied on the Governmental Lender for any guidance or expertise in analyzing the financial or other
consequences of such financing transactions or otherwise relied on the Governmental Lender in any
manner except to issue the Funding Loan Notes in order to provide funds for the Borrower Loan.
(f) The Borrower intends to hold the Project for its own account, has no current
plans to sell and has not entered into any agreement to sell the Project.
(g) The Borrower has contacted all “related persons” thereof (within the meaning of
Section 147(a) of the Code) of which it is aware; and none of them shall, at any time, pursuant to any
arrangement, formal or informal, acquire any interest in the Tax-Exempt Notes in an amount related to the
amount of the Borrower Loan as represented by the Borrower Note A-1 and Borrower Note A-2.
(h) All of the proceeds from the Borrower Loan as represented by the Borrower Note
A-1 and Borrower Note A-2 plus any income from the investment of the proceeds thereof will be used to
pay or reimburse the Borrower for Project costs, and at least 97% of the proceeds of the Borrower Loan
as represented by the Borrower Note A-1 and Borrower Note A-2 will be used to pay or reimburse the
Borrower for Qualified Project Costs (as defined in the Tax-Exempt Regulatory Agreement) and less than
25% of such amount will be used to pay or reimburse the Borrower for the cost of land or any interest
therein. The Borrower shall assure that the proceeds of the Borrower Loan as represented by the
Borrower Note A-1 and Borrower Note A-2 are expended so as to cause the Tax-Exempt Notes to
constitute a “qualified residential rental bond” within the meaning of Section 142(d) of the Code.
(i) The Borrower has not knowingly taken or permitted to be taken and will not
knowingly take or permit to be taken any action which would have the effect, directly or indirectly, of
causing interest on the Tax-Exempt Notes to be included in the gross income of the owners thereof for
purposes of federal income taxation.

(j) The Borrower hereby represents and warrants that, within the meaning of
Section 147(a)(14) of the Code, the weighted average maturity of the Tax-Exempt Notes does not exceed
120 percent of the average reasonably expected economic life of the facilities being financed with the
proceeds of the Tax-Exempt Notes.
(k) The Borrower represents and warrants that no portion of the proceeds of the
Borrower Loan as represented by the Borrower Note A-1 and Borrower Note A-2 will be used to provide

store the principal business of which is the sale of alcoholic beverages for consumption off premises, and

Note A-2 will be used for an office unless (i) the office is located on the premises of the facilities
constituting the Project and (ii) not more than a de minimus amount of the functions to be performed at
such office is not related to the day-to-day operations of the Project.

Agreement:
(a) The Borrower covenants that it shall not take, or permit or suffer to be taken by
the Governmental Lender or otherwise, any action with respect to the proceeds of the Tax-Exempt Notes
which if such action had been reasonably expected to have been taken, or had been deliberately and
intentionally taken, on the date of issuance of the Tax-Exempt Notes would have caused the Tax-Exempt
Notes to be an “arbitrage bond” within the meaning of Section 148(a) of the Code.
(b) Payment of Governmental Lender Fees and Expenses.
(i) Borrower hereby agrees to pay to the Governmental Lender the amounts
described in Section 4A(d) of the Tax-Exempt Regulatory Agreement.

after receipt of request for payment thereof, all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Governmental
Lender related to the Project and the financing thereof that are not otherwise required to be paid by the

including, without limitation, legal fees and expenses incurred in connection with the interpretation,
performance, enforcement or amendment of any documents relating to the Project or the Funding Loan.
(c) Tax Exempt Status of the Tax-Exempt Notes.
(i) It is the intention of the Governmental Lender, Bank and the Borrower
that interest on the Tax-Exempt Notes shall be and remain excludable from gross income for federal
income taxation purposes, and to that end the covenants and agreements of the Borrower in this Section
are for the benefit of the Bank and the Governmental Lender.
(ii) The Borrower covenants and agrees that it will not knowingly and
willingly use or permit the use of any of the funds provided by the Governmental Lender or the Bank
hereunder or any other funds of the Borrower, directly or indirectly, in such manner as would, or enter
into, or allow any “related person” (as defined in Section 147(a)(2) of the Code) to enter into, any
arrangement, formal or informal, for the purchase of the Tax-Exempt Notes that would, or take or omit to
take any other action that would cause the Tax-Exempt Notes to be an “arbitrage bond” within the
meaning of Section 148 of the Code or “federally guaranteed” within the meaning of Section 156(b) of the

construction of the Projects shall not be a Qualified Project Cost; and provided still
further that if any portion of either of the Projects is being constructed by an Affiliated

obligation to expend proceeds of the Borrower Loan pursuant to which the Borrower is
obligated to expend at least five percent (5%) of the maximum principal amount of the

Borrower delivered to the Governmental Lender on the Closing Date. At all times, the
aggregate disbursements of the proceeds of the portion of the Borrower Loan funded
with proceeds of the Tax-Exempt Notes will have been applied to pay or to reimburse
the Borrower for the payment of Qualified Project Costs in an amount equal to
ninety-five percent (95%) or more of such disbursements, and less than twenty-five
percent (25%) of such disbursements shall have been used to pay for the acquisition of
land or an interest therein.
(h) The Borrower will not take or omit to take, as is applicable, any action if such
action or omission would in any way cause the proceeds from the Borrower Loan to be
applied in a manner contrary to the requirements of the Borrower Loan Agreement, this
Regulatory Agreement, the Other Regulatory Agreement, the Act or the Code.
(i) On or as soon as practicable after the Completion Date of the Projects, the

executed and completed Completion Certificate. Only one Completion Certificate shall
be prepared and filed with respect to this requirement and Section 2(i) of the Other
Regulatory Agreement.

Administrator other than the Governmental Lender to administer this Regulatory
Agreement and to monitor performance by the Borrower of the terms, provisions and
requirements hereof. In such event, the Borrower shall comply with any reasonable
request by the Governmental Lender or the Administrator to deliver to any such
Administrator, in addition to or instead of the Governmental Lender, any reports,
notices or other documents required to be delivered pursuant hereto, and to make the
Project and the books and records with respect thereto available for inspection by the
Administrator as an agent of the Governmental Lender.

submit to the Governmental Lender and the Bank, and will cause to be recorded in the
County Recorder’s office, a duly executed and completed Certificate as to
Commencement of Qualified Project Period in the form of Exhibit D hereto.
(l) Money on deposit in any fund or account in connection with the Borrower
Loan or the Funding Loan Notes, whether or not such money was derived from other
sources, shall not be used by or under the direction of the Borrower, in a manner which
would cause the Tax-Exempt Notes to be “arbitrage bonds” within the meaning of
Section 148 of the Code, and the Borrower specifically agrees that the investment of
money in any such fund shall be restricted as may be necessary to prevent the Tax-
Exempt Notes from being “arbitrage bonds” under the Code.
(m) All of the proceeds of the Funding Loan and earnings from the investment of
such proceeds will be used to pay costs of the Projects; and no more than two percent
(2%) of the proceeds of the portion of the Borrower Loan funded with proceeds of the
Tax-Exempt Notes will be used to pay costs associated with the issuance, execution and
delivery of the Tax-Exempt Notes.
(n) No portion of the proceeds of the portion of the Borrower Loan funded with
proceeds of the Tax-Exempt Notes shall be used to provide any airplane, skybox or
other private luxury box, health club facility, facility primarily used for gambling, or
store the principal business of which is the sale of alcoholic beverages for consumption
off premises. No portion of the proceeds of the portion of the Borrower Loan funded
with proceeds of the Tax-Exempt Notes shall be used for an office unless the office is
located on the premises of the facilities constituting the Project or the Other Project and
unless not more than a de minimis amount of the functions to be performed at such
office is not related to the day-to-day operations of the Project or the Other Project.

the representations, covenants and warranties of the Borrower contained in the Tax
Certificate.

nature and structure of the transactions contemplated by this Regulatory Agreement
and the Other Regulatory Agreement; that it is familiar with the provisions of all of the
documents and instruments relating to the Funding Loan Notes and the Borrower Loan
Documents to which it is a party or of which it is a beneficiary; that it understands the
financial and legal risks inherent in such transactions; and that it has not relied on the
Governmental Lender for any guidance or expertise in analyzing the financial or other
consequences of such financing transactions or otherwise relied on the Governmental
Lender in any manner except to issue the Funding Loan Notes in order to provide funds
to assist the Borrower in acquiring and constructing the Projects.

Governmental Lender, each time within one week of its receipt of the same from the
independent firm that prepared the respective report.
Section 3. Qualified Residential Rental Project. The Borrower hereby acknowledges and
agrees that the Project is to be constructed, owned, managed and operated as a “qualified
residential rental project” (within the meaning of Section 142(d) of the Code) for a term equal to
the Qualified Project Period. To that end, and for the term of this Regulatory Agreement, the
Borrower hereby represents, covenants, warrants and agrees as follows:
(a) The Project will be acquired, constructed and operated for the purpose of
providing multifamily residential rental property. The Borrower will construct, own,
manage and operate the Project as a project to provide multifamily residential rental
property comprised of a building or structure or several interrelated buildings or

(d) No part of the Project will at any time during the Qualified Project Period be
owned by a cooperative housing corporation, nor shall the Borrower take any steps in
connection with a conversion to such ownership or use, and the Borrower will not take
any steps in connection with a conversion of the Project to condominium ownership
during the Qualified Project Period (except that the Borrower may obtain final map
approval and the Final Subdivision Public Report from the California Bureau of Real
Estate and may file a condominium plan with the City of Walnut Creek).
(e) All of the dwelling units in the Project will be available for rental during the
Qualified Project Period on a continuous basis to members of the general public, on a
first-come first-served basis, and the Borrower will not give preference to any particular
class or group in renting the dwelling units in the Project, except (i) not more than one
unit may be set aside for a resident manager or other administrative use, (ii) to the extent
that dwelling units are required to be leased or rented to Low Income Tenants
hereunder, and (iii) to the extent units in the Project are required to be leased pursuant
to the Extended Use Agreement, the City Restrictions, the County Restrictions, the Infill

Agreement.
(f) The Project site consists of a parcel or parcels that are contiguous except for

source of income (e.g. AFDC, SSI), physical disability, age (except as may be required

status in the rental, lease, use or occupancy of the Project or in connection with the
employment or application for employment of persons for the operation and
management of the Project.
(h) No dwelling unit in the Project shall be occupied by the Borrower.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Project contains five or more dwelling units, this
subsection shall not be construed to prohibit occupancy of dwelling units by one or
more resident managers or maintenance personnel any of whom may be the Borrower;
provided that the number of such managers or maintenance personnel is not
unreasonable given industry standards in the area for the number of dwelling units in
the Project.
(i) The Borrower will not sell dwelling units within the Project.

(k) Should involuntary noncompliance with the provisions of Section 1.103-8(b)
of the Regulations be caused by fire, seizure, requisition, foreclosure, transfer of title by
deed in lieu of foreclosure, change in a federal law or an action of a federal agency after
the Closing Date which prevents the Governmental Lender from enforcing the
requirements of the applicable Regulations, or condemnation or similar event, the
Borrower covenants that, within a “reasonable period” determined in accordance with
the applicable Regulations, it will either prepay the Borrower Loan or, if permitted
under the provisions of the Borrower Loan Agreement, apply any proceeds received as a
result of any of the preceding events to reconstruct the Project to meet the requirements
of Section 142(d) of the Code and the applicable Regulations.
The Governmental Lender hereby elects to have each of the Projects meet the
requirements of Section 142(d)(1)(B) of the Code.
Section 4. Low Income Tenants; Reporting Requirements. Pursuant to the requirements
of the Code, the Borrower hereby represents, warrants and covenants as follows:
(a) During the Qualified Project Period, not less than forty percent (40%) of the
units in the Project, and not less than forty percent (40%) of the units in the Other
Project, will be occupied by, or held vacant and available for occupancy by, Low Income
Tenants. For the purposes of this paragraph (a), a vacant unit which was most recently
occupied by a Low Income Tenant is treated as rented and occupied by a Low Income
Tenant until reoccupied, other than for a temporary period of not more than 31 days, at
which time the character of such unit shall be redetermined.
(b) No tenant qualifying as a Low Income Tenant shall be denied continued
occupancy of a unit in the Project or in the Other Project because, after admission, such
tenant’s Adjusted Income increases to exceed the qualifying limit for Low Income
Tenants. However, should a Low Income Tenant’s Adjusted Income, as of the most
recent determination thereof, exceed one hundred forty percent (140%) of the applicable
income limit for a Low Income Tenant of the same household size, the next available
unit of comparable or smaller size in the same building (within the meaning of Section
42 of the Code) must be rented to (or held vacant and available for immediate occupancy
by) a Low Income Tenant. Until such next available unit is rented to a Low Income
Tenant, the former Low Income Tenant who has ceased to qualify as such shall be
deemed to continue to be a Low Income Tenant for purposes of the Low Income Unit
requirements of Section 4(a) hereof (but shall not be so deemed to continue to be a Low
Income Tenant upon the rental of an available unit of comparable or smaller size to a
tenant who is not a Low Income Tenant).
(c) For the Qualified Project Period, the Borrower will obtain, complete, and
maintain on file Verification of Income certifications for each Low Income Tenant,
including (i) a Verification of Income dated immediately prior to the initial occupancy of
such Low Income Tenant in the Project or in the Other Project, and (ii) thereafter, an
annual Verification of Income with respect to each Low Income Tenant within thirty
days before or after the anniversary of such tenant’s initial occupancy of a unit in the
Project or in the Other Project. In lieu of obtaining an annual Verification of Income, the
August 9, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Official Minutes 902
-14-
Borrower may, with respect to any particular twelve-month period ending June 1 of
each year, deliver to the Administrator no later than fifteen (15) days after such date, a
certification that as of the respective June 1, no Low Income Unit in the Project or in the
Other Project was occupied within the preceding twelve (12) months by a new resident
whose income exceeded the limit applicable to Low Income Tenants upon admission to
the Project or the Other Project. The Administrator may at any time and in its sole and
absolute discretion notify the Borrower in writing that it will no longer accept
certifications of the Borrower made pursuant to the preceding sentence and that the
Borrower will thereafter be required to obtain annual Verifications of Income for
tenants.
The Borrower also will provide such additional information as may be required
in the future by the State of California, by the Governmental Lender, by CDLAC and by
the Code, as the same may be amended from time to time, or in such other form and
manner as may be required by applicable rules, rulings, policies, procedures,
Regulations or other official statements now or hereafter promulgated, proposed or
made by the Department of the Treasury or the Internal Revenue Service with respect to
Tax-Exempt obligations. Upon request of the Administrator or the Governmental
Lender, copies of Verification of Income for Low Income Tenants commencing or
continuing occupation of a Low Income Unit shall be submitted to the Administrator or
the Governmental Lender, as requested.
The Borrower shall make a good faith effort to verify that the income information
provided by an applicant in a Verification of Income is accurate by taking one or more of
the following steps as a part of the verification process: (1) obtain a pay stub for the most
recent pay period, (2) obtain an income tax return for the most recent tax year, (3) obtain
a credit report or conduct a similar type credit search, (4) obtain an income verification
from the applicant’s current employer, (5) obtain an income verification from the Social
Security Administration and/or the California Department of Social Services if the
applicant receives assistance from either of such agencies, or (6) if the applicant is
unemployed and does not have an income tax return, obtain another form of
independent verification reasonably acceptable to the Governmental Lender.
(d) The Borrower will maintain complete and accurate records pertaining to the
Low Income Units and will permit any duly authorized representative of the
Governmental Lender, the Administrator, the Bank, the Department of the Treasury or
the Internal Revenue Service to inspect the books and records of the Borrower pertaining
to the Project and the Other Project, including those records pertaining to the occupancy
of the Low Income Units.
(e) The Borrower will prepare and submit quarterly, on or before each April 15
(for the quarterly period ending March 30), July 15 (for the quarterly period ending June
30), October 15 (for the quarterly period ending September 30) and January 15 (for the
quarterly period ending December 31) during the Qualified Project Period rent rolls and
other information required by the FOCUS Program as applicable to the Project and the
Other Project. The Borrower will also prepare and submit quarterly, on or before each
April 15 (for the quarterly period ending March 30), July 15 (for the quarterly period

ending June 30), October 15 (for the quarterly period ending September 30) and January
15 (for the quarterly period ending December 31) during the Qualified Project Period to
the Administrator (with a copy to the Bank), a Certificate of Continuing Program
Compliance executed by the Borrower stating (i) the percentage of the aggregate of the
dwelling units in the Project and in the Other Project which were occupied or deemed
occupied, pursuant to subsection (a) hereof, by Low Income Tenants during the
preceding applicable quarterly period; and (ii) that either (A) no unremedied default has
occurred under this Regulatory Agreement or the Other Regulatory Agreement, or (B) a
default has occurred, in which event the certificate shall describe the nature of the
default in detail and set forth the measures being taken by the Borrower to remedy such
default.
During the Qualified Project Period, the Borrower shall submit a completed
Internal Revenue Code Form 8703 or such other annual certification as required by the
Code with respect to the Project and the Other Project, to the Secretary of the Treasury
on or before March 31 of each year (or such other date as may be required by the Code).
(f) For the Qualified Project Period, all tenant leases or rental agreements shall be
subordinate to this Regulatory Agreement. All leases pertaining to Low Income Units
shall contain clauses, among others, wherein each tenant who occupies a Low Income
Unit: (i) certifies the accuracy of the statements made in the Verification of Income; (ii)
agrees that the household income and other eligibility requirements shall be deemed
substantial and material obligations of the tenancy of such tenant, that such tenant will
comply promptly with all requests for information with respect thereto from the
Borrower, the Bank or the Administrator on behalf of the Governmental Lender, and
that the failure to provide accurate information in the Verification of Income or refusal
to comply with a request for information with respect thereto shall be deemed a
violation of a substantial obligation of the tenancy of such tenant; (iii) acknowledges that
the Borrower has relied on the Verification of Income and supporting information
supplied by the Low Income Tenant in determining qualification for occupancy of the
Low Income Unit and that any material misstatement in such certification (whether or
not intentional) will be cause for immediate termination of such lease or rental
agreement; and (iv) agrees that the tenant’s income is subject to annual certification in
accordance with Section 4(c) hereof and that if upon any such certification such tenant’s
Adjusted Income exceeds the applicable Low Income Tenant income limit under Section
4(b), such tenant may cease to qualify as a Low Income Tenant, and such tenant’s rent is
subject to increase.
Section 4A. Additional Requirements of the Governmental Lender. In addition to the
requirements set forth elsewhere in this Regulatory Agreement and to the extent not prohibited
by the requirements set forth in Sections 4, 5 and 6 hereof, the Borrower hereby agrees to
comply with each of the requirements of the Governmental Lender set forth in this Section 4A,

of the Project.
(c) The Borrower shall not permit occupancy in any unit in the Project by more
than (i) two persons per bedroom in the unit, plus (ii) one person; and the Borrower

Regulatory Agreement and the Other Regulatory Agreement.
In addition to the foregoing, the Borrower shall pay to the Governmental Lender
promptly following receipt of an invoice that reasonably identifies the relevant expenses

burdensome than criteria applied to all other prospective tenants, nor shall the Borrower
apply or permit the application of management policies or lease provisions with respect

requirement of this Section 4A shall be void and of no force and effect if the Governmental
Lender and the Borrower receive a written opinion of Tax Counsel to the effect that compliance

Other Regulatory Agreement will be binding upon all owners of the Other Project,

including, but not limited to, the execution and recordation of this Regulatory
Agreement in the real property records of the County.
Section 6. Additional Requirements of the Act. In addition to the requirements set forth
elsewhere in this Regulatory Agreement, so long as any of the Funding Loan Notes are
outstanding the Borrower hereby agrees to comply with each of the requirements of the Act
applicable to the Project. Without limiting the foregoing, the Borrower agrees as follows:
(a) As provided in Section 52080(a)(1)(B) of the Act, forty percent (40%) or more
of the aggregate of the completed residential units in the Project shall be occupied by, or
held vacant and available for occupancy by, lower income tenants within the meaning of
Section 52080(a)(1) of the Act (it being acknowledged that units required to be set aside
for Low Income Tenants pursuant to Section 4(a) may be counted for purposes of
satisfying the requirements of this Section 6(a) if the related Low Income Tenants
otherwise satisfy the requirements of this Section 6(a)).
(b) The rental payments paid by the occupants of the units described in
paragraph (a) of this Section (excluding any supplemental rental assistance from the
state, the federal government, or any other public agency to those occupants or on behalf
of those units) shall not exceed thirty percent of sixty percent (60%) of area median
income.
(c) The Borrower shall accept as tenants, on the same basis as all other
prospective tenants, Low Income Tenants who are recipients of federal certificates or
vouchers for rent subsidies pursuant to the existing program under Section 8 of the
Housing Law. The selection criteria applied to certificate holders under Section 8 of the
Housing Law shall not be more burdensome than the criteria applied to all other
prospective tenants.
(d) The Borrower shall ensure that units occupied as required by paragraph (a) of
this Section are of comparable quality and offer a range of sizes and number of
bedrooms comparable to those units which are available to other tenants.
(e) As provided in Section 52080(e) of the Act, the Project may be syndicated after
prior written approval of the Governmental Lender. The Governmental Lender shall
grant that approval only after it determines that the terms and conditions of the
syndication (1) shall not reduce or limit any of the requirements of the Act or regulations
adopted or documents executed pursuant to the Act, (2) shall not cause any of the
requirements in this Agreement to be subordinated to the syndication agreement, or (3)
shall not result in the provision of fewer assisted units, or the reduction of any benefits
or services, than were in existence prior to the syndication agreement. The
Governmental Lender hereby acknowledges that this Section 6(e) does not apply to the
syndication of federal tax credits for the Project as contemplated by the Borrower’s
partnership agreement.
(f) Following the expiration or termination of the Qualified Project Period, except
in the event of foreclosure and payment in full of the Funding Loan Notes, deed in lieu
August 9, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Official Minutes 908
-20-
of foreclosure, eminent domain, or action of a federal agency preventing enforcement,
units required to be reserved for occupancy pursuant to Section 6(a) shall remain
available to any eligible household occupying a reserved unit at the date of such
expiration or termination, at a rent not greater than the amount required by Section 6(b),
until the earliest of any of the following occur:
(1) The household’s income exceeds one hundred-forty percent (140%) of
the maximum eligible income specified in Section 6(a).
(2) The household voluntarily moves or is evicted for “good cause.”
“Good cause” for the purposes of this section means the nonpayment of rent or
allegation of facts necessary to prove major, or repeated minor, violations of
material provisions of the occupancy agreement which detrimentally affect the
health, safety, occupancy or quiet enjoyment of other persons or the structure,
the fiscal integrity of the Project, or the purposes or special programs of the
Project.
(3) Thirty years after the date of commencement of the Qualified Project
Period.
(4) The Borrower pays the relocation assistance and benefits to tenants as
provided in subdivision (b) of Section 7264 of the Government Code.
(g) Except in the event of foreclosure and prepayment in full of the Funding Loan
Notes, deed in lieu of foreclosure, eminent domain, or action of a federal agency
preventing enforcement, during the three years prior to expiration of the Qualified
Project Period, the Borrower shall continue to make available to eligible households
reserved units that have been vacated to the same extent that nonreserved units are
made available to noneligible households.
(h) This Section shall not be construed to require the Governmental Lender to
monitor the Borrower’s compliance with the provisions of paragraph (f), or that the
Governmental Lender shall have any liability whatsoever in the event of the failure by
the Borrower to comply with any of the provisions of this Agreement.
(i) The covenants and conditions of this Regulatory Agreement shall be binding
upon successors in interest of the Borrower.
(j) This Regulatory Agreement shall be recorded in the office of the county
recorder of the County, and shall be recorded in the grantor-grantee index to the names
of the Borrower as grantor and to the name of the Governmental Lender as grantee.
Section 7. CDLAC Requirements. The acquisition, construction and operation of the
Project and the financing thereof are and shall be in compliance with the conditions set forth in
Exhibit A to the CDLAC Resolution (the “CDLAC Conditions”), as it may be amended, which
conditions are incorporated herein by reference and are made a part hereof; provided, however,
the Governmental Lender shall have no obligation under this Regulatory Agreement to monitor
August 9, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Official Minutes 909
-21-
and enforce the Borrower’s compliance with the CDLAC Conditions. The Borrower shall
prepare and submit to CDLAC (with a copy to the Governmental Lender), at the times required
by CDLAC, a Certificate of Compliance in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B
hereto (or in such other form as CDLAC may require), executed by an authorized representative
of the Borrower.
The Borrower acknowledges that the CDLAC Conditions include the following:
(a) 57 of the units in the Project and the Other Project be restricted for a term of
55 years, 6 of which units must be rented or held vacant and available for rental for
persons or families whose income is at 50% or below of the Area Median Gross Income,
and 51 of which units must be rented or held vacant and available for rental by persons
or families whose income is at 60% or below of Area Median Gross Income.
(b) A minimum of $15,324,110 of public funds will be expended for the Project
and the Other Project.
(c) The Project and the Other Project and/or the financing must comply with the
requirements in paragraphs 13, 18, and 25 of Exhibit A to the CDLAC Resolution.
The Borrower will promptly provide any information reasonably requested by the
Governmental Lender in order for the Governmental Lender to comply with any regulations of
CDLAC applicable to the CDLAC Resolution, the CDLAC Conditions, the Funding Loan Notes
or the Projects, including but not limited to Section 5144 of Article 11 of the CDLAC regulations.
The Borrower will promptly provide any information requested by the Governmental
Lender in order for the Governmental Lender to complete any Annual Applicant Public Benefit
and On-going Compliance Self Certification or otherwise to comply with any regulations of
CDLAC applicable to the CDLAC Resolution, the CDLAC Conditions or the Project, including
but not limited to Section 5144 of Article 11 of the CDLAC regulations.
The requirements of this Section 7 may be waived in writing by CDLAC in its sole and
absolute discretion, without the consent of the Governmental Lender or the Bank. CDLAC and
the Governmental Lender each shall have the right (but not the obligation) to enforce the
CDLAC Conditions and to pursue an action for specific performance or other available remedy
at law or in equity, provided that any such action or remedy shall not materially adversely
affect the interests and rights of the owner of the Funding Loan Notes.
Section 8. Modification of Covenants. The Borrower and the Governmental Lender
hereby agree as follows:
(a) To the extent any amendments to the Act, the CDLAC Conditions, the
Regulations or the Code shall, in the written opinion of Tax Counsel filed with the
Governmental Lender, the Bank and the Borrower, impose requirements upon the
ownership or operation of the Project or of the Other Project more restrictive than those
imposed by this Regulatory Agreement, and if such requirements are applicable to the
August 9, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Official Minutes 910
-22-
Project, this Regulatory Agreement shall be deemed to be automatically amended to
impose such additional or more restrictive requirements.
(b) To the extent that the Act, the CDLAC Conditions, the Regulations or the
Code, or any amendments thereto, shall, in the written opinion of Tax Counsel filed with
the Governmental Lender, the Bank and the Borrower, impose requirements upon the
ownership or operation of the Project or of the Other Project less restrictive than
imposed by this Regulatory Agreement, this Regulatory Agreement may be amended or
modified to provide such less restrictive requirements, but only by written amendment
signed by the Governmental Lender, in its sole discretion, and the Borrower, and only
upon receipt by the Governmental Lender of the written opinion of Tax Counsel to the
effect that such amendment will not affect the Tax-Exempt status of interest on the Tax-
Exempt Notes or violate the requirements of the Act, and is otherwise in accordance
with Section 22 hereof.
(c) The Borrower and the Governmental Lender shall execute, deliver and, if
applicable, file of record any and all documents and instruments necessary to effectuate
the intent of this Section 8, and each of the Borrower and the Governmental Lender
hereby appoints the Bank as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact to execute, deliver and,
if applicable, file of record on behalf of the Borrower or the Governmental Lender, as is
applicable, any such document or instrument (in such form as may be approved by Tax
Counsel, as evidenced by receipt of the opinion required by paragraph (b) above) if
either the Borrower or the Governmental Lender defaults in the performance of its
obligations under this subsection (c); provided, however, that unless directed in writing
by the Governmental Lender or the Borrower, the Bank shall take no action under this
subsection (c) without first notifying the Borrower or the Governmental Lender, or both
of them, as is applicable, and without first providing the Borrower or the Governmental
Lender, or both, as is applicable, an opportunity to comply with the requirements of this
Section 8. Nothing in this subsection (c) shall be construed to allow the Bank to execute
an amendment to this Regulatory Agreement on behalf of the Governmental Lender.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Regulatory Agreement, whenever an
opinion of Tax Counsel is required or requested to be delivered hereunder after the Closing
Date, the Bank, the Governmental Lender and the Borrower shall accept (unless otherwise
directed in writing by the Governmental Lender) an opinion of Tax Counsel in such form and
with such disclaimers as may be required so that such opinion will not be treated as a “covered
opinion” for purposes of the Treasury Department regulations governing practice before the
Internal Revenue Service (Circular 230), 31 CFR Part 10.
Section 9. Indemnification.
(a) To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Borrower agrees to indemnify, hold
harmless and defend the Governmental Lender, the Bank, the Administrator and each of their
respective past, present and future officers, members of the Governmental Lender’s Board of
Supervisors, directors, officials, employees and agents (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”),
against any and all losses, damages, claims, actions, liabilities, costs and expenses of any
conceivable nature, kind or character (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees,
August 9, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Official Minutes 911
-23-
litigation and court costs, amounts paid in settlement and amounts paid to discharge
judgments) to which the Indemnified Parties, or any of them, may become subject under any
statutory law (including federal or state securities laws) or at common law or otherwise, arising
out of or based upon or in any way relating to:
(i) the Funding Loan Notes, the Funding Loan Agreement, the Funding Loan, the
Borrower Loan Agreement, the Borrower Loan, this Regulatory Agreement, the Other
Regulatory Agreement or the execution or amendment hereof or thereof or in connection
with transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including the issuance, sale or resale
of any of the Funding Loan Notes or any interest therein;
(ii) any act or omission of the Borrower or any of its agents, contractors, servants,
employees, tenants or licensees in connection with the Project or the Other Project, the
operation of the Project or the Other Project, or the condition, environmental or
otherwise, occupancy, use, possession, conduct or management of work done in or
about, or from the planning, design, acquisition, installation or construction of, the
Project or the Other Project or any part of either thereof;
(iii) any lien or charge upon payments by the Borrower to the Governmental
Lender and the Bank hereunder or under the Borrower Loan Agreement, or any taxes
(including, without limitation, all ad valorem taxes and sales taxes), assessments,
impositions and other charges imposed on the Governmental Lender in respect of any
portion of the Projector of the Other Project;
(iv) any violation of the provisions of Exhibit C to the Borrower Loan Agreement;
(v) the defeasance and/or prepayment, in whole or in part, of any of the Funding
Loan Notes;
(vi) any untrue statement or misleading statement or alleged untrue statement or
alleged misleading statement of a material fact contained in any offering statement or
disclosure or continuing disclosure document for any Funding Loan Note or any of the
documents relating to any Funding Loan Note, or any omission or alleged omission
from any offering statement or disclosure or continuing disclosure document for any of
the Funding Loan Notes of any material fact necessary to be stated therein in order to
make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading;
(vii) any declaration of taxability of interest on either of the Tax-Exempt Notes, or
allegations that interest on a Tax-Exempt Notes is taxable or any regulatory audit or
inquiry regarding whether interest on a Tax-Exempt Notes is taxable; or
(viii) the Bank’s administration of the Borrower Loan Documents, or the exercise
or performance of any of its powers or duties thereunder or under any of the Funding
Loan Documents;
August 9, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Official Minutes 912
-24-
except (A) in the case of the foregoing indemnification of the Bank or any of its respective
officers, directors, officials, employees and agents, to the extent such damages are caused by the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of an Indemnified Party; or (B) in the case of the
foregoing indemnification of the Governmental Lender or any of its officers, members of its
Board of Supervisors, officials, employees and agents, to the extent, with respect to any such
Indemnified Party, such damages are caused by the willful misconduct of the respective
Indemnified Party seeking indemnification. In the event that any action or proceeding is
brought against any Indemnified Party with respect to which indemnity may be sought
hereunder, the Borrower, upon written notice from the Indemnified Party, shall assume the
investigation and defense thereof, including the employment of counsel selected by the
Indemnified Party, and shall assume the payment of all expenses related thereto, with full
power to litigate, compromise or settle the same in its sole discretion; provided that the
Indemnified Party shall have the right to review and approve or disapprove any such
compromise or settlement. Each Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate
counsel in any such action or proceeding and participate in the investigation and defense
thereof, and the Borrower shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel;
provided, however, that such Indemnified Party may only employ separate counsel at the
expense of the Borrower if in the judgment of such Indemnified Party a conflict of interest exists
by reason of common representation or if all parties commonly represented do not agree as to
the action (or inaction) of counsel.
(b) The rights of any persons to indemnity hereunder and rights to payment of fees and
reimbursement of expenses pursuant to Section 4A(a), this Section 9 and Section 20 shall survive
the final payment or defeasance of the Funding Loan Notes and in the case of the Bank any
resignation or removal. The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this
Regulatory Agreement.
(c) Nothing contained in this Section 9 shall cause the obligation of the Borrower to pay
principal and interest on the Borrower Loan or amounts owing with respect to a Borrower Note
to be a recourse obligation of the Borrower.
(d) The obligations of the Borrower under this Section are independent of any other
contractual obligation of the Borrower to provide indemnity to the Governmental Lender or
otherwise, and the obligation of the Borrower to provide indemnity hereunder shall not be
interpreted, construed or limited in light of any other separate indemnification obligation of the
Borrower. The Governmental Lender shall be entitled simultaneously to seek indemnity under
this Section and any other provision under which it is entitled to indemnity.
Section 10. Consideration. The Governmental Lender has agreed to issue the Funding
Loan Notes to provide funds to lend to the Borrower to finance the acquisition and construction
of the Project and the Other Project, all for the purpose, among others, of inducing the Borrower
to acquire, construct and operate the Project and the Other Project. In consideration of the
issuance of the Funding Loan Notes by the Governmental Lender, the Borrower has entered
into this Regulatory Agreement and the Other Regulatory Agreement, and has agreed to restrict
the uses to which the Project and the Other Project can be put on the terms and conditions set
forth herein and in the Other Regulatory Agreement.
August 9, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Official Minutes 913
-25-
Section 11. Reliance. The Governmental Lender and the Borrower hereby recognize and
agree that the representations and covenants set forth herein and in the Other Regulatory
Agreement may be relied upon by all persons interested in the legality and validity of the
Funding Loan Notes, in the exemption from State personal income taxation of interest on the
Funding Loan Notes and in the Tax-Exempt status of the interest on the Tax-Exempt Notes. In
performing their duties and obligations hereunder, the Governmental Lender, the Bank and the
Administrator may rely upon statements and certificates of the Low Income Tenants and upon
audits of the books and records of the Borrower pertaining to the Project and the Other Project.
In addition, the Governmental Lender, the Bank and the Administrator may consult with
counsel, and the opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection
in respect of any action taken or suffered by the Governmental Lender, the Bank or the
Administrator hereunder in good faith and in conformity with such opinion. In determining
whether any default or lack of compliance by the Borrower exists under this Regulatory
Agreement, the Governmental Lender shall not be required to conduct any investigation into or
review of the operations or records of the Borrower and may rely solely on any written notice or
certificate delivered to the Governmental Lender or the Bank by the Borrower with respect to
the occurrence or absence of a default unless it knows that the notice or certificate is erroneous
or misleading.
Section 12. Sale or Transfer of the Project. For the Qualified Project Period, the
Borrower shall not, except as provided below and in accordance with the Borrower Loan
Agreement and the Deed of Trust, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Project, in whole or
in part, without the prior written consent of the Governmental Lender, which consent shall be
given as promptly as practicable following: (A) the receipt by the Governmental Lender of
evidence acceptable to the Governmental Lender that (1) the Borrower shall not be in default
hereunder, under the Other Regulatory Agreement or under the Borrower Loan Agreement
(which may be evidenced by a certificate of the Borrower) or the purchaser or assignee
undertakes to cure any defaults of the Borrower to the reasonable satisfaction of the
Governmental Lender; (2) the continued operation of the Project shall comply with the
provisions of this Regulatory Agreement; (3) either (a) the purchaser or assignee or its property
manager has at least three years’ experience in the ownership, operation and management of
similar-sized rental housing projects, and at least one year’s experience in the ownership,
operation and management of rental housing projects containing below-market-rate units,
without any record of material violations of discrimination restrictions or other state or federal
laws or regulations or local government requirements applicable to such projects, or (b) the
purchaser or assignee agrees to retain a property management firm with the experience and
record described in subclause (a) above, or (c) the transferring Borrower or its management
company will continue to manage the Project for at least one year following such transfer and
during such period will provide training to the transferee and its manager in the responsibilities
relating to the Low Income Units; and (4) the person or entity which is to acquire the Project
does not have pending against it, and does not have a history of, building code violations or
significant and material complaints concerning the maintenance, upkeep, operation, and
regulatory agreement compliance of any of its projects as identified by any local, state or federal
regulatory agencies; (B) the execution by the purchaser or assignee of any document requested
by the Governmental Lender with respect to the assumption of the Borrower’s obligations
under this Regulatory Agreement and the Borrower Loan Agreement, including without
August 9, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Official Minutes 914
-26-
limitation an instrument of assumption hereof, and delivery to the Governmental Lender of an
opinion of such purchaser or assignee’s counsel to the effect that each such document and this
Regulatory Agreement are valid, binding and enforceable obligations of such purchaser or
assignee; (C) receipt by the Governmental Lender of an opinion of Tax Counsel addressed to the
Governmental Lender and the Bank to the effect that any such sale, transfer or other disposition
will not adversely affect the Tax-Exempt status of interest on the Tax-Exempt Notes; (D) receipt
by the Governmental Lender and Bank of all fees and/or expenses then currently due and
payable to the Governmental Lender and Bank; (E) satisfaction of such other conditions or
matters as are set forth in the Borrower Loan Agreement and the Deed of Trust; (F) the Other
Project shall be transferred coterminously with the transfer of the Project, to the same transferee;
and (G) such other conditions are met as the Governmental Lender may reasonably impose.
The Governmental Lender hereby consents to a transfer of the Project by the Borrower to its
general partner or its affiliate, if the Governmental Lender receives the documents listed in the
preceding sentence. It is hereby expressly stipulated and agreed that any sale, transfer or other
disposition of the Project in violation of this Section 12 shall be null, void and without effect,
shall cause a reversion of title to the Borrower, and shall be ineffective to relieve the Borrower of
its obligations under this Regulatory Agreement. Nothing in this Section shall affect any
provision of any other document or instrument between the Borrower and any other party
which requires the Borrower to obtain the prior written consent of such other party in order to
sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Project. Upon any sale or other transfer which complies
with this Regulatory Agreement, the Borrower shall be fully and automatically released from its
obligations hereunder to the extent such obligations have been assumed by the transferee of the
Project. Any transfer of the Project to any entity, whether or not affiliated with the Borrower,
shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 12, except that no consent of the Governmental
Lender shall be required in the case of any transfer of the Project to a general partner of the
Borrower or an affiliate of a general partner of the Borrower if any applicable conditions set
forth in the Borrower Loan Agreement and any conditions set forth in the Security Instrument
are satisfied and, in any event, the Borrower notifies the Governmental Lender in writing of any
such transfer.
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 12 to the contrary, neither the
consent of the Governmental Lender nor the delivery of items (A) through (F) of the preceding
paragraph shall be required in the case of (a) the execution, delivery and recordation by
Borrower of any mortgage or deed of trust encumbering all or any part of the Project, or (b) a
foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure by the Bank whereby the Bank or a purchaser at a
foreclosure sale becomes the owner of the Project, and nothing contained in this Section 12 shall
otherwise affect the right of the Bank or a purchaser at a foreclosure sale to foreclose on the
Project or to accept a deed in lieu of foreclosure. The Governmental Lender’s consent otherwise
required by item (A) of the preceding paragraph shall not be required in connection with any
purchase of the Project by a partner of the Borrower as allowed for in the Borrower’s
partnership agreement. In addition, the provisions of this Section 12 shall not apply to (i) the
replacement of the managing general partner of the Borrower by an entity formed by or that is a
subsidiary of the initial managing general partner of the Borrower, (ii) the withdrawal of any
limited partner of the Borrower from its partnership, (iii) any transfer of limited partnership
interests in the Borrower and the admission of a substitute limited partner, (iv) any transfer of
direct or indirect interests in any limited partner of the Borrower, or (v) any transfer of interests
pursuant to the provisions of the Borrower’s partnership agreement as in effect from time to
August 9, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Official Minutes 915
-27-
time, including but not limited to the removal of a general partner of the Borrower and
replacement thereof by an affiliate of a limited partner of the Borrower pursuant to the
Borrower’s partnership agreement; provided, however, that the Governmental Lender shall
receive notice from the Borrower of any transfer of general partner interests.
For the Qualified Project Period, the Borrower shall not: (1) except pursuant to the
provisions of this Regulatory Agreement, the Borrower Loan Agreement and the Security
Instrument (and upon receipt by the Borrower of an opinion of Tax Counsel that such action
will not adversely affect the Tax-Exempt status of interest on the Tax-Exempt Notes), or except
upon a sale, transfer or other disposition of the Project in accordance with the terms of this
Regulatory Agreement, subordinate or encumber any of the Project or grant commercial leases
(not including any laundry, cable, management office equipment, resident service (including
but not limited to convenience vending, or satellite television) or similar or related leases) of
any part thereof, or permit the conveyance, transfer or encumbrance of any part of the Project
(except for apartment leases); (2) demolish any part of the Project or substantially subtract from
any real or personal property of the Project, except to the extent that what is removed is
replaced with comparable property; or (3) permit the use of the dwelling accommodations of
the Project for any purpose except rental residences.
Section 13. Term. This Regulatory Agreement shall become effective upon its execution
and delivery, and shall remain in full force and effect for the period provided herein and shall
terminate as to any provision not otherwise provided with a specific termination date and shall
terminate in its entirety at the end of the Qualified Project Period, it being expressly agreed and
understood that the provisions hereof are intended to survive the payment in full of the
Funding Loan Notes and discharge of the Funding Loan Agreement, the Borrower Loan
Agreement and the Deed of Trust.
The terms of this Regulatory Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, this
Regulatory Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect in the event of
involuntary noncompliance with the provisions of this Regulatory Agreement caused by fire,
seizure, requisition, change in a federal law or an action of a federal agency after the Closing
Date that prevents the Governmental Lender and the Bank from enforcing such provisions, or
condemnation, foreclosure, transfer of title by deed in lieu of foreclosure, or a similar event, but
only if, within a reasonable period, either the Funding Loan Notes are fully prepaid and no
further amounts are owing in respect of the Funding Loan or amounts received as a
consequence of such event are used to provide a project which meets the requirements hereof;
provided, however, that the preceding provisions of this sentence shall cease to apply and the
restrictions contained herein shall be reinstated if, at any time subsequent to the termination of
such provisions as the result of the foreclosure or the delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or
a similar event, the Borrower or any related person (within the meaning of Section 1.103-10(e) of
the Regulations) obtains an ownership interest in the Project for federal income tax purposes.
The Borrower hereby agrees that, following any foreclosure, transfer of title by deed in lieu of
foreclosure or similar event, neither the Borrower nor any such related person as described
above will obtain an ownership interest in the Project for federal tax purposes. Upon the
termination of the terms of this Regulatory Agreement, the parties hereto agree to execute,
deliver and record appropriate instruments of release and discharge of the terms hereof;
August 9, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Official Minutes 916
-28-
provided, however, that the execution and delivery of such instruments shall not be necessary
or a prerequisite to the termination of this Regulatory Agreement in accordance with its terms.
Section 14. Covenants to Run With the Land. Notwithstanding Section 1461 of the
California Civil Code, the Borrower hereby subjects the Project to the covenants, reservations
and restrictions set forth in this Regulatory Agreement. The Governmental Lender and the
Borrower hereby declare their express intent that the covenants, reservations and restrictions set
forth herein shall be deemed covenants running with the land and shall pass to and be binding
upon the Borrower’s successors in interest to the Project; provided, however, that on the
termination of this Regulatory Agreement said covenants, reservations and restrictions shall
expire. Each and every contract, deed or other instrument hereafter executed covering or
conveying the Project or any portion thereof shall conclusively be held to have been executed,
delivered and accepted subject to such covenants, reservations and restrictions, regardless of
whether such covenants, reservations and restrictions are set forth in such contract, deed or
other instruments.
Section 15. Burden and Benefit. The Governmental Lender and the Borrower hereby
declare their understanding and intent that the burdens of the covenants set forth herein touch
and concern the land in that the Borrower’s legal interest in the Project is rendered less valuable
thereby. The Governmental Lender and the Borrower hereby further declare their
understanding and intent that the benefits of such covenants touch and concern the land by
enhancing and increasing the enjoyment and use of the Project by Low Income Tenants, the
intended beneficiaries of such covenants, reservations and restrictions, and by furthering the
public purposes for which the Funding Loan Notes were issued.
Section 16. Uniformity; Common Plan. The covenants, reservations and restrictions
hereof shall apply uniformly to the entire Project in order to establish and carry out a common
plan for the use of the site on which the Project is located.
Section 17. Default; Enforcement. If the Borrower defaults in the performance or
observance of any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Borrower set forth in this
Regulatory Agreement or in the Other Regulatory Agreement, and if such default remains
uncured for a period of thirty (30) days after notice thereof shall have been given by the
Governmental Lender or the Bank to the Borrower (with a copy to the Equity Investor), or for a
period of thirty (30) days from the date the Borrower should, with due diligence, have
discovered such default, then the Governmental Lender or the Bank, acting on its own behalf or
on behalf of the Governmental Lender (to the extent directed in writing by the Governmental
Lender, subject to the provisions of the Funding Loan Agreement), shall declare an “Event of
Default” to have occurred hereunder; provided, however, that if the default is of such a nature
that it cannot be corrected within thirty (30) days, such default shall not constitute an Event of
Default hereunder so long as (i) the Borrower institutes corrective action within said thirty (30)
days and diligently pursues such action until the default is corrected, and (ii) in the opinion of
Tax Counsel, the failure to cure said default within thirty (30) days will not adversely affect the
Tax-Exempt status of interest on the Tax-Exempt Notes. The Governmental Lender and the
Bank shall have the right to enforce the obligations of the Borrower under this Regulatory
Agreement and under the Other Regulatory Agreement within shorter periods of time than are
August 9, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Official Minutes 917
-29-
otherwise provided herein if necessary in the opinion of Tax Counsel to insure compliance with
the Act or the Code.
Any limited partner of the Borrower shall have the right but not the obligation to cure
any Event of Default, and the Governmental Lender and the Bank agree to accept any cure
tendered by any such limited partner on behalf of the Borrower within any cure period
specified above.
Following the declaration of an Event of Default hereunder the Governmental Lender,
or the Bank may, at their respective options, take any one or more of the following steps, in
addition to all other remedies provided by law or equity:
(i) by mandamus or other suit, action or proceeding at law or in equity, including
injunctive relief, require the Borrower to perform its obligations and covenants
hereunder or enjoin any acts or things which may be unlawful or in violation of the
rights of the Governmental Lender or the Bank hereunder;
(ii) have access to and inspect, examine and make copies of all of the books and
records of the Borrower pertaining to the Project and the Other Project;
(iii) take such other action at law or in equity as may appear necessary or
desirable to enforce the obligations, covenants and agreements of the Borrower
hereunder;
(iv) with the prior written consent of the Bank, which may be withheld in the
Bank’s sole and absolute discretion, declare a default under the Borrower Loan
Agreement and (subject to any applicable cure periods set forth in the Borrower Loan
Agreement) proceed with any remedies provided therein; or
(v) order and direct the Borrower in writing to terminate the then Manager of the
Project and to select a replacement Manager reasonably satisfactory to the Governmental
Lender within 60 days of such written direction, and to notify the Governmental Lender
in writing of the identity of the replacement Manager.
The Borrower hereby agrees that specific enforcement of the Borrower’s agreements
contained herein is the only means by which the Governmental Lender may fully obtain the
benefits of such agreements made by the Borrower herein, and the Borrower therefore agrees to
the imposition of the remedy of specific performance against it in the case of any Event of
Default by the Borrower hereunder.
The Bank shall have the right (but no obligation), in accordance with this Section and the
provisions of the Funding Loan Agreement, without the consent or approval of the

Lender hereunder; provided that prior to taking any such action the Bank shall give the
Governmental Lender written notice of its intended action. After the Funding Loan Agreement
has been discharged, the Governmental Lender may act on its own behalf to declare an “Event

of Default” to have occurred and to take any one or more of the steps specified hereinabove to
the same extent and with the same effect as if taken by the Bank.
All fees, costs and expenses of the Bank and the Governmental Lender incurred in
taking any action pursuant to this Section shall be the sole responsibility of the Borrower.
No breach or default under this Regulatory Agreement shall defeat or render invalid the
Security Instrument or any like encumbrance upon the Project or any portion of either thereof
given in good faith and for value.

paid in full, all references to the Bank in this Regulatory Agreement shall be deemed references

pay all fees and charges incurred in connection with any such recording.
(b) The Borrower and the Governmental Lender will file of record such other documents
and take such other steps as are necessary, in the written opinion of Tax Counsel filed with the
Governmental Lender and the Bank, in order to insure that the requirements and restrictions of
this Regulatory Agreement will be binding upon all owners of the Project.
(c) The Borrower hereby covenants to include or reference the requirements and
restrictions contained in this Regulatory Agreement in any documents transferring any interest
in the Project to another person (other than in any document granting a security interest to the
Bank and, provided, however, that no such assignment shall be required in connection with the
transfer of the Project to the Bank by foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or comparable
conversion of the Borrower Loan) to the end that such transferee has notice of, and is bound by,
such restrictions, and to obtain the agreement from any transferee to abide by all requirements
and restrictions of this Regulatory Agreement.

Borrower Loan and notwithstanding a discharge of the Borrower Loan Agreement, throughout

Exempt Notes and is not contrary to the provisions of the Act.
(b) Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, the Governmental
Lender and the Borrower hereby agree to amend this Regulatory Agreement and the Other
Regulatory Agreement to the extent required, in the opinion of Tax Counsel, in order that
interest on the Tax-Exempt Notes remain Tax-Exempt. The party requesting such amendment
shall notify the other party to this Regulatory Agreement of the proposed amendment, with a
copy of such requested amendment to Tax Counsel and a request that such Tax Counsel
render to the Governmental Lender an opinion as to the effect of such proposed amendment

Agreement. CDLAC shall have the right (but not the obligation) to enforce the CDLAC
Conditions (as defined in Section 7) and to pursue an action for specific performance or other

by any other person adversely affected by the Borrower’s failure to comply with the
requirements of that Section.
Section 27. The Bank. The Bank shall be entitled, but shall have no duty, to act with
respect to enforcement of the Borrower’s performance hereunder. The Bank, either on its own
behalf or as the agent of and on behalf of the Governmental Lender, may, in its sole discretion,
act hereunder and any act required to be performed by the Governmental Lender as herein
provided shall be deemed taken if such act is performed by the Bank. In connection with any
such performance, all provisions of the Funding Loan Agreement and the Borrower Loan
Agreement relating to the rights, privileges, powers and protections of the Bank shall apply
with equal force and effect to all actions taken (or omitted to be taken) by the Bank in
connection with this Regulatory Agreement. Neither the Bank nor any of its officers, directors
or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder or in
connection herewith except for its or their own negligence or willful misconduct. The Bank
may consult with legal counsel selected by it (the reasonable fees of which counsel shall be paid
by the Borrower) and any action taken or suffered by it reasonably and in good faith in
accordance with the opinion of such counsel shall be full justification and protection to it. The
Bank may at all times assume compliance with this Regulatory Agreement unless otherwise
notified in writing by or on behalf of the Governmental Lender, or unless it has actual
knowledge of noncompliance.
After the date the Funding Loan no longer remains outstanding as provided in the
Funding Loan Agreement, the Bank shall have no further rights, duties or responsibilities under
this Regulatory Agreement, and all references to the Bank in this Regulatory Agreement shall be
deemed references to the Governmental Lender.
Section 28. No Interference or Impairment of Loan. Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, (i) the occurrence of an event of default under this Regulatory Agreement shall
not, under any circumstances whatsoever, be deemed or constitute a default under the
Borrower Loan Documents, except as may be otherwise specified in the Borrower Loan
Documents, and shall not impair, defeat or render invalid the lien of the Security Instrument
and (ii) neither of the Governmental Lender nor any other person shall:
(a) initiate or take any action which may have the effect, directly or indirectly, of
impairing the ability of the Borrower to timely pay the principal of, interest on, or other
amounts due and payable under, the Borrower Loan;
(b) interfere with or attempt to interfere with or influence the exercise by the
Bank of any of its rights under the Borrower Loan Agreement, including, without
limitation, the Bank remedial rights under the Borrower Loan Documents upon the
occurrence of an event of default by the Borrower under the Borrower Loan Agreement;
or
(c) upon the occurrence of an event of default under the Borrower Loan
Agreement, take any action to accelerate or otherwise enforce payment or seek other
remedies with respect to the Borrower Loan, it being understood and agreed that the
Governmental Lender may not, without the prior written consent of the Bank, on
August 9, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Official Minutes 922
-34-
account of any default under this Regulatory Agreement, seek, in any manner, to cause
the Borrower Loan to become due and payable, to enforce the Borrower Loan
Agreement or to foreclose on the Deed of Trust or cause the Bank to foreclose or take
any other action under the Borrower Loan Documents, the Funding Loan Documents or
any other documents which action would or could have the effect of achieving any one
or more of the foregoing actions, events or results.
No person other than the Bank shall have the right to declare the principal balance of the
Borrower Loan to be immediately due and payable or to initiate foreclosure or other like action.
The forgoing prohibitions and limitations shall not in any way limit the rights of the
Governmental Lender to specifically enforce this Regulatory Agreement or to seek injunctive
relief in order to provide for the operation of the Project in accordance with the requirements of
the Code and the Act, and shall not be construed to limit the rights of the Governmental Lender
to enforce its rights against the Borrower under the indemnification provisions of the
Regulatory Agreement provided that the prosecution of a claim for indemnification shall not
cause the Borrower to file a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or
composition of or in respect of the Borrower under any applicable liquidation, insolvency,
bankruptcy, construction, composition, reorganization, conservation or other similar law in
effect now or in the future.
Notwithstanding the above, the provisions of this Section 28 shall not in any way limit
or alter the Governmental Lender’s authority, power or activities as a governmental regulatory
agency pursuant to applicable laws and regulations relating to the Project or otherwise.
Section 29. Limitation on Borrower Liability. Notwithstanding any other provision or
obligation to the contrary contained in this Regulatory Agreement, and except for the

subject to the provisions and limitations of this Section 29) (i) the liability of the Borrower under
this Regulatory Agreement to any person or entity, including, but not limited to, the Bank or the
Governmental Lender and their successors and assigns, is limited to the Borrower’s interest in

funds and accounts created under the Funding Loan Agreement and the Borrower Loan
Documents, or any rights of the Borrower under any guarantees relating to the Project, and such
persons and entities shall look exclusively thereto, or to such other security as may from time to
time be given for the payment of obligations arising out of this Regulatory Agreement or any
other agreement securing the obligations of the Borrower under this Regulatory Agreement;
and (ii) from and after the date of this Regulatory Agreement, no deficiency or other personal
judgment, nor any order or decree of specific performance (other than pertaining to this
Regulatory Agreement, any agreement pertaining to the Project or any other agreement
securing the Borrower’s obligations under this Regulatory Agreement), shall be rendered
against the Borrower, the assets of the Borrower (other than the Borrower’s interest in the
Project and in the Other Project, this Regulatory Agreement, amounts held in the funds and
accounts created under the Funding Loan Agreement and the Borrower Loan Documents, any
rights of the Borrower under the Funding Loan Agreement and the Borrower Loan Documents
or any other documents relating to the Funding Loan Note or any rights of the Borrower under
any guarantees relating to the Project or the Other Project), its partners, successors, transferees

personal representatives, as the case may be, in any action or proceeding arising out of this
Regulatory Agreement or the Borrower Loan Agreement or any agreement securing the
obligations of the Borrower under this Regulatory Agreement, or any judgment, order or decree
rendered pursuant to any such action or proceeding.
Section 30. Limited Liability. All obligations of the Governmental Lender incurred
under this Regulatory Agreement shall be limited obligations, payable solely and only from
Funding Loan proceeds and other amounts derived by the Governmental Lender from the
Borrower Loan or otherwise under the Borrower Loan Agreement.
Section 31. Conflict With Other Affordability Agreements. In the event of any conflict
between the provisions of this Regulatory Agreement and any agreement referenced in Section
3(e)(iii) hereof, the provisions providing for the most affordable units, with the most
affordability, in the Project shall prevail, so long as at all times the requirements of Section 2, 3,
4, 4A, 6 and 7 of this Regulatory Agreement are in any event satisfied. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, a breach or default under any agreement referenced in Section 3(e)(iii) hereof shall
not, in itself, constitute a breach or a default under this Regulatory Agreement.
