Committee and appoint Supervisor Andersen to this seat with an expiration date of December 31, 2020.

Conference to be held July 17-20, 2020 in Las Vegas, NV.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact to the County associated with these actions.
BACKGROUND:
Each year when the Board of Supervisors reorganizes, the incoming Chair reviews and makes
recommendations to the Board on committee assignments. The annual review of committee assignments
is governed by a policy (Attachment I) adopted by the Board in March 2000. Transmitted herewith are
the recommendations of the Board Chair for 2020. These recommendations (Attachment II, sorted by
committee type and, Attachment III, sorted alphabetically) seek to provide policy oversight for all major
County functional areas, balance the workload of the Supervisors, and consider some of the
extracurricular responsibilities and appointments of the Supervisors on regional and other bodies.
The Chair of the Board also recommends that seat terms for appointments for which the term was either
unspecified by the body or left to the discretion of the Board of Supervisors be designated as
"Unspecified" and reviewed at the discretion of the Board Chair.
In April 2012, the Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) adopted Regulation § 18705.5, which
permits a Supervisor to vote on his/her own appointment to a body or board paying a salary or stipend
for service if all of the following conditions are met:
the appointment is to a committee, board, or commission of a public agency, a special district, a joint
powers agency or authority, or a metropolitan planning organization; and
1.
State law, a local ordinance, or a joint powers agreement requires the Board to appoint;2.
the Board adopts and posts on its website, a list of each appointed position for which compensation is paid,
the salary or stipend for the position, the name of the appointee, the name of the alternate, if any, and the
term of the appointment.
3.
Form 806 is used to report additional compensation that officials receive when appointing themselves to
positions on committees, boards, or commissions of a public agency, special district, and joint powers
agency or authority. Each agency must post on its website a single Form 806, listing all of the paid
appointed positions. When there is a change in compensation or a new appointment, the Form 806 is
updated to reflect the change. The form must be updated promptly as changes occur. Staff of the County
Administrator Office has prepared the Form 806 and has posted it to the County website. Staff will
update the form after the Board of Supervisors take action on the Master List of Board Member
Committee Assignments for 2020.
Committee Assignments for 2020.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the Board of Supervisors do not adopt a Master List of committee appointments, special county
committees, and regional boards/committees/commissions, there will be no official roster of Board
member appointments to these bodies.
CLERK'S ADDENDUM
All recommendations are adopted; Resolution No. 2009/09 is amended to add the Ad Hoc
Committee on Illegal Dumping and to assign Supervisor Burgis as the primary representative on
the Delta Protection Commission.

BOARD OF SUPERVISORS POLICY ON
BOARD MEMBER COMMITTEE ASSIGNMENTS
Adopted on March 21, 2000
1. Board Committee appointments shall be categorized in accordance with the following
descriptions and delineated as on the attached listing:
a) Internal appointments that are subject to the annual reorganization process and to
which the incoming Chair of the Board of Supervisors makes nominations to be
approved by the Board of Supervisors. Ad Hoc committees of the Board also fall
under this category.
b) Regional appointments that are not subject to the annual reorganization process and
to which the Chair of the Board of Supervisors makes nominations to fill vacancies,
as they occur, in accordance with the agency's terms and by-laws, and which
nominations shall be approved by the Board of Supervisors.
c) Special Case/Restricted appointments, for which the specific assignments are
dictated or are in some way restricted by statute or county ordinance, or for which the
term of the appointment makes it impractical for it to be considered along with the
other annual assignments e.g., a term that runs from July to June. Restrictions might
include, for example, that a committee member represent a certain district, be the
Chair of the Board, or vest in the Chair of the Board the authority to appoint an
alternate.
The Chair of the Board of Supervisors shall make nominations to these appointments
to fill vacancies, as they occur, subject to any legislated restrictions, and which
nominations shall be approved by the Board of Supervisors.
2. Notwithstanding Paragraph 1 of this policy and as allowed by law, the Board of
Supervisors maintains its right to nominate, reconsider and change appointments at any
time, irrespective of the term of an appointment.
3. All nominations approved by the Board of Supervisors shall be incorporated in three
attachments to an annually adopted Master Resolution covering committee appointments
from all three categories: Internal, Regional and Special Case/Restricted. For
administrative ease, the Master Resolution shall be amended and re-adopted from time to
time as terms expire or if new appointments are made. The Master Resolution shall
always reflect the complete roster of Board member appointments and shall be available
to the public.

• The funds are 100% invested in a money market account (Blackrock Institutional Fund) with no risk of
loss. No change in investment strategy is anticipated for this coming year as funds are conservatively
invested and to mitigate risk of loss.
• The funds earned 2.3% during the year ending 6/30/19 versus the expected 5.5% per last year’s
actuarial evaluation. As a result, the discount rate was reduced to 4% in the current actuarial analysis.
The discount rate will increase 0.5% annually until the Successor Plan is fully funded under current
projections.

Doctors Medical Center Foundation
In the Fall of 2019, the District was contacted by the CPA for the DMC Foundation asking for
assistance in transferring the Foundation’s remaining funds, approximately $77,000, to the District for
healthcare. This event was triggered by an IRS audit of the 2015 Foundation which resulted in the
revocation of the Foundation’s tax-exempt status under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code
due to inactivity.
After researching the documents of the Foundation and interviewing the accountant and secretary of the
Foundation, the District proposes the following plan to contribute the money to the community benefits
Foundation, the District proposes the following plan to contribute the money to the community benefits
for West Contra Costa Healthcare District. Following are the steps recommended by Counsel to 1)
dissolve the Foundation under law and; 2) distribute the Foundation’s remaining assets to the District’s
community benefit account. The two representatives of the DMC Foundation who have been
maintaining the Foundation records are eager to proceed with this plan.
Steps:
1. WCCHD, in its capacity as the sole member of the Foundation, approves the dissolution of the
Foundation and the transfer of the Foundation’s remaining assets to the District’s community benefit
account
2. WCCHD, in its capacity as the sole member of the Foundation, appoints two persons to serve as the
sole members of the Foundation’s board of directors for the purpose of taking whatever actions are
required to effect the dissolution of the Foundation
3. The Foundation seeks the legally required approval of the California Attorney General to dissolve the
Foundation and transfer its remaining assets to the District’s community benefit account
Once Attorney General approval is received, the District is formally dissolved and its remaining assets
transferred to the District’s community benefit account
Attached is a Board resolution required to implement the dissolution.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The business functions of the District will be adversely impacted.

Report of Independent Auditors
Board of Directors of
West Contra Costa Healthcare District
San Pablo, California
Report on the Financial Statements
We were engaged to audit the accompanying financial statements of the West Contra Costa Healthcare
District Successor Retirement Plan (the Plan), which comprise the net assets available for benefits as of
June 30, 2019 and 2018, the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years
then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the
design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation
of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on conducting the audit in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in the United States of America. Those standards
require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform audits of the Plan’s internal
controls over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal controls over financial
reporting as a basis of designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the
purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’s internal controls over financial
reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
1DRAFT
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net
assets available for plan benefits of the Plan as of June 30, 2019 and 2018, and the changes in net assets
available for plan benefits for the year then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
Other Matters
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Plan will continue as a going
concern. As discussed in Notes 1, 3 and 6 to the financial statements, the Plan’s funded status has declined
to 22.44% of the actuarial present value of future benefits at June 30, 2019. The Plan’s sponsor, West Contra
Costa Healthcare District (the District), ceased operations in April 2015 and filed for bankruptcy protection
in October 2016. The District has reached an agreement with the bankruptcy court whereby they will make
twelve annual contributions of $1,000,000 to the Plan starting in fiscal year ending June 30, 2018 and
ending in fiscal year ending June 30, 2029. The District will then make a final payment of $647,000 during
fiscal year ending June 30, 2030. Based on current actuarially determined Plan liabilities and anticipated
estimated earnings, distributions and expenses, the Plan is expected to be able to fund all participant
liabilities. The District’s plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 6.
Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole.
The required supplemental information as of or for the years ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, are presented
for purposes of complying with the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and
Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and are not a required part of the
basic financial statements. This required supplemental information has been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in our audit of the June 30, 2019 and 2018 financial statements and, in our opinion, is
fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the June 30, 2019 and 2018 financial statements taken as
a whole.

NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN
The following brief description of the West Contra Costa Healthcare District Successor Retirement Plan
(the Plan) is provided for general information only. Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for more
complete information.
General
The Plan is a governmental plan as defined in section 414(d) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). The Plan
was established on March 9, 2000 by the Plan Sponsor, West Contra Costa Healthcare District (the District),
as a successor plan to the West Contra Costa Healthcare District Employees' Retirement Plan, which was
terminated on that date. The Plan is intended to qualify as a defined benefit plan under section 401(a) of the
IRC and is to be interpreted in a manner consistent with those requirements. The participants of the
predecessor plan were given the option to receive immediate lump sum distributions of the present value
of their benefits, to roll the benefits into an Individual Retirement Plan (IRA) or other plan, or to participate
in a successor plan. During the year ended June 30, 2001, when the requested distributions were completed
by the predecessor plan, the successor trust, which holds the assets of the successor plan, was funded.
Periodic payments for that year were made by the predecessor plan. The amount of the funding was
approximately 110% of the present value of the predecessor plan's liabilities. As of July 1, 2001, the
successor plan assumed the predecessor plan's liabilities for the pension benefits of those participants who
chose to take part in the successor plan and who made periodic payments.
Pension Benefits and Vesting
The Plan is to provide benefits on the same terms and in the same amounts as the predecessor plan.
The predecessor plan was frozen effective January 1, 1994. No participants accrued benefits on or after that
date and each participant's benefit became fully vested and non-forfeitable on that date.
Employees with 5 or more years of service, or any employees of Brookside Hospital as of January 1, 1994,
are entitled to annual pension benefits beginning at normal retirement, age 65, or as early as age 60, with
full pension benefit. Plan members are entitled to a reduced benefit, if elected, at any time after age 50.
Benefits are based on years of credited service and average earnings in the last three years of employment
through the date that the predecessor plan was frozen and are offset by a portion of the vested employee's
social security benefit.
Effective April l, 1998, upon attaining his or her normal retirement date (age 65); whether or not he or she
actually retires on that date, a participant shall be entitled to receive a monthly Single-Life Annuity.

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2019 and 2018
NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (continued)
Contributions
The predecessor plan was frozen effective January 1, 1994 and, therefore, there would be no future
employer contributions to the Plan, unless required to fund benefits that have already been accrued. The
amount of employer contributions would be determined based on actuarial valuations and recommendations
as to the amounts required to fund benefits. During the years ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the plan
sponsor made no contributions to the plan.
In the actuarial report dated May 10, 2001, it was recommended by the actuarial consultants that if, as of
any future valuation date, Plan assets drop below the then actuarial present value of future benefits, that
such difference be funded, with assumed interest, in level additional contributions to the Plan by the District
over a period not longer than five years, depending in part on the Plan’s projected liquidity needs. It was
also recommended that actuarial valuations be performed approximately every twelve months.
As of the valuation dates of June 30, 2019 and 2018, Plan assets are less than the actuarial present value of
future benefits by the amount of $10,621,721 and 9,326,986, respectively. This amount is amortized over
five years using the 2019 assumptions. Based upon this method, the actuarial consultants recommend that
a contribution of at least $992,990 be made to the Plan for the 2020 plan year. The Plan’s sponsor has
reached an agreement with the bankruptcy court whereby they will make twelve annual contributions of
$1,000,000 to the Plan starting in fiscal year ending June 30, 2018 and ending in fiscal year ending June
30, 2029. The Plan sponsor will then make a final payment of $647,000 during fiscal year ending June 30,
2030. Based on current actuarially determined Plan liabilities and anticipated estimated earnings,
distributions and expenses, the Plan is expected to be able to fund all participant liabilities.
The funded status of the plan declined during the plan year ended June 30, 2019, from 23.59% funded to
22.44% funded. The long-term stability of the plan remains in question without future cash contributions.
Annual benefit payments are projected to continue to exceed annual expected investment returns. This will
continue to put pressure on the viability of the plan to close the underfunding purely through investments.
Death Benefits
The Plan provides a death benefit to all participants. For participants who are fully vested and married at
the time of death, their spouse will receive an annuity of 50% of the benefit the participant had accrued
through the date of death, commencing when the participant would have reached age 50. If a participant is
not married or does not have five years of vesting credit, the participant's named beneficiary shall receive
a lump-sum death benefit of $500 plus one month's salary for each year of service up to six months.

NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (continued)
Description of Vesting
Effective January 1, 1994, the Plan was frozen, and forfeitures were applied to reduce employer
contributions up to that date. Each participant's benefit became fully vested and non-forfeitable upon the
plan freeze.
NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Accounting
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
requires the Plan Administrator to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and
disclosures. Accordingly, actual results may differ from those estimates.
Investment Valuation and Income Recognition
The Plan's investments are stated at fair value. All of the Portfolio Investments of the Collective Investment
Trust are valued based on quoted market prices on the last business day of the Plan year. Net appreciation
or depreciation in fair value of investments includes net unrealized and realized appreciation or depreciation
for the year.
Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date, and the dividend income is recorded on the ex-
dividend date. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Costs used in determining gains (losses) on
investment transactions are on the average cost basis.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Actuarial Present Value of Accumulated Plan Benefits
Accumulated plan benefits are those future periodic payments which are attributable under the Plan's
provisions to the service employees have rendered. Accumulated plan benefits include benefits expected to
be paid to (a) retired or terminated employees or their beneficiaries, (b) beneficiaries of employees who
have died, and (c) present employees or their beneficiaries. Benefits under the Plan are based on employees'
highest annual compensation during the employees last three years of credited service. Benefits payable
under all circumstances are included, to the extent they are deemed attributable to employee service
rendered, through the valuation date. The actuarial valuations are done using the beginning-of-the-year
method. In the event of the termination of the Plan, the benefit obligation would be revalued as of the date
of the termination and under different assumptions than those used to determine the actuarial present value
of accumulated Plan benefits.
NOTE 3 – ACCUMULATED PLAN BENEFITS
The actuarial present value of accumulated plan benefits is determined by the Plan's consulting actuary,
Willis Towers Watson. This amount results from applying actuarial assumptions to adjust the accumulated
plan benefits to reflect the time value of money (through discounts for interest) and the probability of
payment (by means of decrements such as for death, disability, withdrawal, or retirement) between the
valuation date and the expected date of payment. For the periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the
actuarial methods and assumptions used were consistent with the prior year.
The more significant assumptions underlying the actuarial computations for the Plan year are as follows:
• Rate of investment return – 4.0%.
• Retirement Age - Normal retirement is age 65, full pension benefits are available at age 60, early
retirement is available at reduced benefits (ages 50 to 59).
• Life expectancy of participants – Pub-2010 Public Retirement Mortality Tables (Healthy and

These actuarial assumptions are based on the presumption that the Plan will continue. If the Plan terminates,
different actuarial assumptions and other factors might be applicable in determining the actuarial present
value of accumulated plan benefits. The assumptions used consider the effect of the Plan's frozen status (as
discussed in Note 1).

The Plan assets are invested in products sold by Benefit. Net realized and unrealized gain on investment
value for the years ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was $-0- and $206,692, respectively. Investments at
Benefit consist of the following at June 30, 2019 and 2018, stated at fair value:

are as follows:
Description 2018 2017
Blackrock Funds Money Market Portfolio 3,072,631$ 2,879,711$
Due to the nature of the investment management services provided by Benefit, they qualify as a party-in-
interest of the Plan. Fees paid by the Plan to Benefit for such services for the years ended June 30, 2019
and 2018 amounted to $5,163 and $8,815, respectively.
NOTE 5 – TAX STATUS
The predecessor plan obtained its latest determination letter on February 24, 2000, in which the Internal
Revenue Service stated that the Plan, as then designed, was in compliance with the applicable requirements
of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). Since the Successor Plan has replaced the predecessor plan, a new
determination letter has not been obtained. However, since the plans are identical, the Plan sponsor’s board
of directors understands that the Plan, as currently designed and operated, is in compliance with the
applicable requirements of the IRC. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in the Plan's
financial statements. The Plan Administrator believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for
years prior to 2016.

NOTE 6 – RISKS AND UNCERTANTIES
The Plan invests in various investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks such
as interest rate, market, and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment
securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in
the near term and that such change could materially affect the amounts reported in the statement of net
assets available for benefits.
In September 2019, an actuarial valuation was prepared for the purpose of determining contributions for
the plan year beginning July 1, 2019. As of that date, plan assets are less than the actuarial present value of
future benefits in the amount of $10,621,721. In accordance with the Plan sponsor’s policy the total
unfunded liability would be amortized over the next five years. The actuarial recommendation was for the
sponsor to contribute $992,990 during the plan year ended June 30, 2020. The Plan’s sponsor has reached
an agreement with the bankruptcy court whereby they will make twelve annual contributions of $1,000,000
to the Plan starting in fiscal year ending June 30, 2018 and ending in fiscal year ending June 30, 2029. The
Plan sponsor will then make a final payment of $647,000 during fiscal year ending June 30, 2030. Based
on current actuarially determined Plan liabilities and anticipated estimated earnings, distributions and
expenses, the Plan is expected to be able to fund all participant liabilities.
The funded status of the plan decreased during the plan year ended June 30, 2019 from 23.59% funded to
22.44% funded. The long-term stability of the plan remains in question without the above-mentioned future
cash contributions. Annual benefit payments are projected to continue to exceed annual expected
investment returns. This will continue to put pressure on the viability of the plan to close the underfunding
purely through investments.
The District, the Plan’s sponsor, has liabilities that exceed assets by $68,647,513 at June 30, 2019 (audited),
reported a net loss of $892,238 for the six-months ended June 30, 2019 (audited), but has cash reserves of
$9,581,888. Based on a financial analysis by the District’s management, they anticipated significant
difficulties in continuing to meet on-going financial obligations related to their hospital operations and in
April 2015 closed the hospital and ceased its operations. The District also filed for bankruptcy in October
2016. The District has sold all assets, is settling liabilities and wrapping up all other administrative issues.
Based on current actuarially determined Plan liabilities and anticipated estimated earnings, distributions
and expenses, the Plan is expected to be able to fund all participant liabilities.
Whether all participants receive their benefits will depend on the sufficiency, at the time, of the Plan’s net
assets to provide those benefits, the priority of those benefits to be paid, and the level and type of benefits
guaranteed by the California Public Employment Retirement System (PERS) at that time. Some benefits
may be fully or partially provided for by the then-existing assets and the PERS guaranty, while other
benefits may not be provided at all.

NOTE 7 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Subsequent events have been evaluated through the date of the Independent Auditor’s Report, which
is the date the financial statements were available to be issued.
NOTE 8 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820) provides a framework for
measuring fair value under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. That framework provides a fair
value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy
gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
(Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).
The following provides a general description of the three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair
value under ASC 820:
Level 1 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are based on quoted prices available in active markets
for identical assets or liabilities on the reporting date.
Level 2 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are other than quoted market prices in active markets,
which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date, and fair value can be
determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies. If the asset or liability has
a specified (contractual) term, the Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term
of the asset or liability.
Level 3 - Inputs to the valuation methodology include significant inputs that are generally
unobservable from objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally developed
methodologies that result in management's best estimate of fair value including assumptions
regarding risk. Level 3 instruments include those that may be more structured or otherwise tailored
to the Plan's needs.
As required by ASC 820, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest
level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize
the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The Plan's assessment of the
significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may affect the
valuation of fair value assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.

NOTE 8 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)
Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value.
Mutual funds are valued at the market value of shares held by the Plan at year-end.
The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net
realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while the Plan believes its valuation method
are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies for
assumptions to determine fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value
measurement at the reporting date. Assets measured at fair value as of June 30, 2019 and 2019 are as
follows:
Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total

Report on the Financial Statements
We were engaged to audit the accompanying financial statements of the West Contra Costa Healthcare
District Successor Retirement Plan (the Plan), which comprise the net assets available for benefits as of
June 30, 2019 and 2018, the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years
then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the
design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation
of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on conducting the audit in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in the United States of America. Those standards
require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform audits of the Plan’s internal
controls over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal controls over financial
reporting as a basis of designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the
purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’s internal controls over financial
reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
1DRAFT
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net
assets available for plan benefits of the Plan as of June 30, 2019 and 2018, and the changes in net assets
available for plan benefits for the year then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
Other Matters
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Plan will continue as a going
concern. As discussed in Notes 1, 3 and 6 to the financial statements, the Plan’s funded status has declined
to 22.44% of the actuarial present value of future benefits at June 30, 2019. The Plan’s sponsor, West Contra
Costa Healthcare District (the District), ceased operations in April 2015 and filed for bankruptcy protection
in October 2016. The District has reached an agreement with the bankruptcy court whereby they will make
twelve annual contributions of $1,000,000 to the Plan starting in fiscal year ending June 30, 2018 and
ending in fiscal year ending June 30, 2029. The District will then make a final payment of $647,000 during
fiscal year ending June 30, 2030. Based on current actuarially determined Plan liabilities and anticipated
estimated earnings, distributions and expenses, the Plan is expected to be able to fund all participant
liabilities. The District’s plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 6.
Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole.
The required supplemental information as of or for the years ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, are presented
for purposes of complying with the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and
Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and are not a required part of the
basic financial statements. This required supplemental information has been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in our audit of the June 30, 2019 and 2018 financial statements and, in our opinion, is
fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the June 30, 2019 and 2018 financial statements taken as
a whole.

NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN
The following brief description of the West Contra Costa Healthcare District Successor Retirement Plan
(the Plan) is provided for general information only. Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for more
complete information.
General
The Plan is a governmental plan as defined in section 414(d) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). The Plan
was established on March 9, 2000 by the Plan Sponsor, West Contra Costa Healthcare District (the District),
as a successor plan to the West Contra Costa Healthcare District Employees' Retirement Plan, which was
terminated on that date. The Plan is intended to qualify as a defined benefit plan under section 401(a) of the
IRC and is to be interpreted in a manner consistent with those requirements. The participants of the
predecessor plan were given the option to receive immediate lump sum distributions of the present value
of their benefits, to roll the benefits into an Individual Retirement Plan (IRA) or other plan, or to participate
in a successor plan. During the year ended June 30, 2001, when the requested distributions were completed
by the predecessor plan, the successor trust, which holds the assets of the successor plan, was funded.
Periodic payments for that year were made by the predecessor plan. The amount of the funding was
approximately 110% of the present value of the predecessor plan's liabilities. As of July 1, 2001, the
successor plan assumed the predecessor plan's liabilities for the pension benefits of those participants who
chose to take part in the successor plan and who made periodic payments.
Pension Benefits and Vesting
The Plan is to provide benefits on the same terms and in the same amounts as the predecessor plan.
The predecessor plan was frozen effective January 1, 1994. No participants accrued benefits on or after that
date and each participant's benefit became fully vested and non-forfeitable on that date.
Employees with 5 or more years of service, or any employees of Brookside Hospital as of January 1, 1994,
are entitled to annual pension benefits beginning at normal retirement, age 65, or as early as age 60, with
full pension benefit. Plan members are entitled to a reduced benefit, if elected, at any time after age 50.
Benefits are based on years of credited service and average earnings in the last three years of employment
through the date that the predecessor plan was frozen and are offset by a portion of the vested employee's
social security benefit.
Effective April l, 1998, upon attaining his or her normal retirement date (age 65); whether or not he or she
actually retires on that date, a participant shall be entitled to receive a monthly Single-Life Annuity.

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2019 and 2018
NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (continued)
Contributions
The predecessor plan was frozen effective January 1, 1994 and, therefore, there would be no future
employer contributions to the Plan, unless required to fund benefits that have already been accrued. The
amount of employer contributions would be determined based on actuarial valuations and recommendations
as to the amounts required to fund benefits. During the years ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the plan
sponsor made no contributions to the plan.
In the actuarial report dated May 10, 2001, it was recommended by the actuarial consultants that if, as of
any future valuation date, Plan assets drop below the then actuarial present value of future benefits, that
such difference be funded, with assumed interest, in level additional contributions to the Plan by the District
over a period not longer than five years, depending in part on the Plan’s projected liquidity needs. It was
also recommended that actuarial valuations be performed approximately every twelve months.
As of the valuation dates of June 30, 2019 and 2018, Plan assets are less than the actuarial present value of
future benefits by the amount of $10,621,721 and 9,326,986, respectively. This amount is amortized over
five years using the 2019 assumptions. Based upon this method, the actuarial consultants recommend that
a contribution of at least $992,990 be made to the Plan for the 2020 plan year. The Plan’s sponsor has
reached an agreement with the bankruptcy court whereby they will make twelve annual contributions of
$1,000,000 to the Plan starting in fiscal year ending June 30, 2018 and ending in fiscal year ending June
30, 2029. The Plan sponsor will then make a final payment of $647,000 during fiscal year ending June 30,
2030. Based on current actuarially determined Plan liabilities and anticipated estimated earnings,
distributions and expenses, the Plan is expected to be able to fund all participant liabilities.
The funded status of the plan declined during the plan year ended June 30, 2019, from 23.59% funded to
22.44% funded. The long-term stability of the plan remains in question without future cash contributions.
Annual benefit payments are projected to continue to exceed annual expected investment returns. This will
continue to put pressure on the viability of the plan to close the underfunding purely through investments.
Death Benefits
The Plan provides a death benefit to all participants. For participants who are fully vested and married at
the time of death, their spouse will receive an annuity of 50% of the benefit the participant had accrued
through the date of death, commencing when the participant would have reached age 50. If a participant is
not married or does not have five years of vesting credit, the participant's named beneficiary shall receive
a lump-sum death benefit of $500 plus one month's salary for each year of service up to six months.

Description of Vesting
Effective January 1, 1994, the Plan was frozen, and forfeitures were applied to reduce employer
contributions up to that date. Each participant's benefit became fully vested and non-forfeitable upon the
plan freeze.
NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Accounting
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
requires the Plan Administrator to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and
disclosures. Accordingly, actual results may differ from those estimates.
Investment Valuation and Income Recognition
The Plan's investments are stated at fair value. All of the Portfolio Investments of the Collective Investment
Trust are valued based on quoted market prices on the last business day of the Plan year. Net appreciation
or depreciation in fair value of investments includes net unrealized and realized appreciation or depreciation
for the year.
Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date, and the dividend income is recorded on the ex-
dividend date. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Costs used in determining gains (losses) on
investment transactions are on the average cost basis.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Actuarial Present Value of Accumulated Plan Benefits
Accumulated plan benefits are those future periodic payments which are attributable under the Plan's
provisions to the service employees have rendered. Accumulated plan benefits include benefits expected to
be paid to (a) retired or terminated employees or their beneficiaries, (b) beneficiaries of employees who
have died, and (c) present employees or their beneficiaries. Benefits under the Plan are based on employees'
highest annual compensation during the employees last three years of credited service. Benefits payable
under all circumstances are included, to the extent they are deemed attributable to employee service
rendered, through the valuation date. The actuarial valuations are done using the beginning-of-the-year
method. In the event of the termination of the Plan, the benefit obligation would be revalued as of the date
of the termination and under different assumptions than those used to determine the actuarial present value
of accumulated Plan benefits.
NOTE 3 – ACCUMULATED PLAN BENEFITS
The actuarial present value of accumulated plan benefits is determined by the Plan's consulting actuary,
Willis Towers Watson. This amount results from applying actuarial assumptions to adjust the accumulated
plan benefits to reflect the time value of money (through discounts for interest) and the probability of
payment (by means of decrements such as for death, disability, withdrawal, or retirement) between the
valuation date and the expected date of payment. For the periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the
actuarial methods and assumptions used were consistent with the prior year.
The more significant assumptions underlying the actuarial computations for the Plan year are as follows:
• Rate of investment return – 4.0%.
• Retirement Age - Normal retirement is age 65, full pension benefits are available at age 60, early
retirement is available at reduced benefits (ages 50 to 59).
• Life expectancy of participants – Pub-2010 Public Retirement Mortality Tables (Healthy and
Contingent Annuitant) projected with Scale MP-2018.
These actuarial assumptions are based on the presumption that the Plan will continue. If the Plan terminates,
different actuarial assumptions and other factors might be applicable in determining the actuarial present
value of accumulated plan benefits. The assumptions used consider the effect of the Plan's frozen status (as
discussed in Note 1).

NOTE 4 – INVESTMENTS (continued)
The Plan assets are invested in products sold by Benefit. Net realized and unrealized gain on investment
value for the years ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was $-0- and $206,692, respectively. Investments at
Benefit consist of the following at June 30, 2019 and 2018, stated at fair value:

are as follows:
Description 2018 2017
Blackrock Funds Money Market Portfolio 3,072,631$ 2,879,711$
Due to the nature of the investment management services provided by Benefit, they qualify as a party-in-
interest of the Plan. Fees paid by the Plan to Benefit for such services for the years ended June 30, 2019
and 2018 amounted to $5,163 and $8,815, respectively.
NOTE 5 – TAX STATUS
The predecessor plan obtained its latest determination letter on February 24, 2000, in which the Internal
Revenue Service stated that the Plan, as then designed, was in compliance with the applicable requirements
of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). Since the Successor Plan has replaced the predecessor plan, a new
determination letter has not been obtained. However, since the plans are identical, the Plan sponsor’s board
of directors understands that the Plan, as currently designed and operated, is in compliance with the
applicable requirements of the IRC. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in the Plan's
financial statements. The Plan Administrator believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for
years prior to 2016.

NOTE 6 – RISKS AND UNCERTANTIES
The Plan invests in various investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks such
as interest rate, market, and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment
securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in
the near term and that such change could materially affect the amounts reported in the statement of net
assets available for benefits.
In September 2019, an actuarial valuation was prepared for the purpose of determining contributions for
the plan year beginning July 1, 2019. As of that date, plan assets are less than the actuarial present value of
future benefits in the amount of $10,621,721. In accordance with the Plan sponsor’s policy the total
unfunded liability would be amortized over the next five years. The actuarial recommendation was for the
sponsor to contribute $992,990 during the plan year ended June 30, 2020. The Plan’s sponsor has reached
an agreement with the bankruptcy court whereby they will make twelve annual contributions of $1,000,000
to the Plan starting in fiscal year ending June 30, 2018 and ending in fiscal year ending June 30, 2029. The
Plan sponsor will then make a final payment of $647,000 during fiscal year ending June 30, 2030. Based
on current actuarially determined Plan liabilities and anticipated estimated earnings, distributions and
expenses, the Plan is expected to be able to fund all participant liabilities.
The funded status of the plan decreased during the plan year ended June 30, 2019 from 23.59% funded to
22.44% funded. The long-term stability of the plan remains in question without the above-mentioned future
cash contributions. Annual benefit payments are projected to continue to exceed annual expected
investment returns. This will continue to put pressure on the viability of the plan to close the underfunding
purely through investments.
The District, the Plan’s sponsor, has liabilities that exceed assets by $68,647,513 at June 30, 2019 (audited),
reported a net loss of $892,238 for the six-months ended June 30, 2019 (audited), but has cash reserves of
$9,581,888. Based on a financial analysis by the District’s management, they anticipated significant
difficulties in continuing to meet on-going financial obligations related to their hospital operations and in
April 2015 closed the hospital and ceased its operations. The District also filed for bankruptcy in October
2016. The District has sold all assets, is settling liabilities and wrapping up all other administrative issues.
Based on current actuarially determined Plan liabilities and anticipated estimated earnings, distributions
and expenses, the Plan is expected to be able to fund all participant liabilities.
Whether all participants receive their benefits will depend on the sufficiency, at the time, of the Plan’s net
assets to provide those benefits, the priority of those benefits to be paid, and the level and type of benefits
guaranteed by the California Public Employment Retirement System (PERS) at that time. Some benefits
may be fully or partially provided for by the then-existing assets and the PERS guaranty, while other
benefits may not be provided at all.

NOTE 7 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Subsequent events have been evaluated through the date of the Independent Auditor’s Report, which
is the date the financial statements were available to be issued.
NOTE 8 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820) provides a framework for
measuring fair value under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. That framework provides a fair
value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy
gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
(Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).
The following provides a general description of the three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair
value under ASC 820:
Level 1 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are based on quoted prices available in active markets
for identical assets or liabilities on the reporting date.
Level 2 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are other than quoted market prices in active markets,
which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date, and fair value can be
determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies. If the asset or liability has
a specified (contractual) term, the Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term
of the asset or liability.
Level 3 - Inputs to the valuation methodology include significant inputs that are generally
unobservable from objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally developed
methodologies that result in management's best estimate of fair value including assumptions
regarding risk. Level 3 instruments include those that may be more structured or otherwise tailored
to the Plan's needs.
As required by ASC 820, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest
level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize
the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The Plan's assessment of the
significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may affect the
valuation of fair value assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2019 and 2018
NOTE 8 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)
Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value.
Mutual funds are valued at the market value of shares held by the Plan at year-end.
The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net
realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while the Plan believes its valuation method
are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies for
assumptions to determine fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value
measurement at the reporting date. Assets measured at fair value as of June 30, 2019 and 2019 are as
follows:
Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total
Mutual funds
Short-term, stable, money market 3,072,631 - - 3,072,631

County
Subject:APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Director of Airports, or designee, to host a County sponsored event at the Buchanan
Field Airport.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no impact on the County General Fund. The total cost of approximately $18,600 will be fully
funded by the Airport Enterprise Fund. This estimated cost includes staff time ($9,600), food/drink
($4,200), and equipment/supplies/Byron coverage ($4,800).
BACKGROUND:
The 12 th Annual Tenant Appreciation BBQ is tentatively scheduled for Thursday, May 7, 2020 and will
be held at the Buchanan Field Airport. The average annual attendance is typically five hundred (500)
tenants and the approximate annual dollar amount expended on this event is $18,600.
This event was developed to recognize the airport tenants/stakeholders “our customers” and would
include providing food and beverages. The goal of this event is intended to assist in marketing both the
Buchanan Field and Byron Airports by highlighting the services we provide to both current and potential
customers, which are the livelihood of the Airport Enterprise Fund. This is part of a marketing program
to attract and retain tenants that benefit both the Airport systems (operating as a business) and the County
(FY 2015-16, the Buchanan Field and Byron Airports generated $2.77 million in possessory interest tax
to go back to the County General Fund).
Pursuant to Administrative Bulletin 114 the County Administrator's Office has reviewed and approved
the Airport’s request to host the 12th Annual Tenant Appreciation Barbeque and recommends approval
of this action by the Board of Supervisors.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
A negative action will cause a loss of marketing and promotion opportunity for the Airport and may
impact funding.

Activities
• Monthly review of noise statistics, operations report, airport development projects, airfield
updates
• Discussions of airport projects and programs to disseminate information and solicit input
from members and public
• Discussions of issues facing the airports and airport community
• Input to the Airports Director, Airport Committee, and Board of Supervisors on issues
affecting the Contra Costa County Airports and surrounding communities
• Participation in community outreach efforts
• Quarterly review of the Airports’ year to date and end of year forecast financial reports
• Annual review of input on the Part 150 Noise Mitigation recommendations
Accomplishments
Discussed and advised on the following:
• Airport administration activities to enhance airport economic development including:
− Progress on updating the Byron General Plan Amendment to bring conformity
between the adopted Airport Master Plan and County General Plan relative to
allowable uses at both Airports
− Expansion of Skyview Aviation at Byron Airport. Skyview has operated an FBO and
flight school at Tracy Airport for many years and has recently leased a hangar at
Byron to establish an aircraft repair and service operation. If business continues,
Skyview plans to expand the Byron operation to become a full-service FBO. A full-
service FBO will be a considerable enhancement to the services offered at Byron.
− Creation of the Bay Area Aviation Technology Test Site (BAATTS) i nitiative. This
initiative was started by airport management to attract new aviation technology
startups to both airports. The proximity of these airports to Silicon Valley and San
Francisco has created a significant opportunity to serve as preferred engineering,
development, and test sites, with the ultimate goal of growing to production and
operation bases, with corresponding potential for new jobs on both the Buchanan and
Byron communities. Several potential new BAATTS tenants are now in discussion.
Preliminary plans are being made to develop additional facilities at Byron. The AAC
strongly and enthusiastically supports the BAATTS initiative.
- Commercial Development of Non-Aviation Sites at Buchanan Field. Increasing
development is an important continuing item that is significant to the Airport
Enterprise Fund. Several undeveloped parcels, which are designated for non-aviation
use, are part of the Buchanan Field and Byron Airport properties. These include sites
at the corners of Marsh Drive and Solano Way, and Marsh Drive and Sally Ride
Drive, as well as other sites not needed for aviation use. Airport staff has requested
releases from the FAA to allow for non-aviation development of these sites and has
also solicited proposals for commercial or light industrial development of these sites.
The several developers gave presentations at the April AAC meeting, and the AAC
expressed strong support for the projects. Each of these projects will contribute to the
Enterprise Fund and will provide jobs and other economic benefits to the area
surrounding Buchanan Field and Byron Airport.
- Byron Airport Public Viewing Plaza - A potential site was tentatively identified,
adjacent to the Byron operations office. The AAC requested that some basic
information be gathered before a recommendation would be made. This would
include determining interest from local schools and other youth groups, evaluation of
the potential site, development of a preliminary design sufficient for estimating costs,
and scoping of cash and in-kind donations that might be available. AAC Member
Ron Reagan has been spearheading this effort and expects to report at an AAC
meeting in the near future.
• Airport noise impact on communities including:
- Addressing various Buchanan Field & Byron noise complaints through phone and in-
person meetings between residents and airport staff and/or AAC members.
- Reminding pilots training after appropriate hours of the airports' noise stipulations, even
if those pilots are coming from other airports.
• Resolution (No. 2018/524) – Establishing new rates and charges for Buchanan Field and
Byron Airports effective January 1, 2019 reduced some of the hanger/tie-down fees to
increase the attraction of Contra Costa County’s airports for pilot use and compete with other
surrounding airports that have lower fees.
• Buchanan Field and Byron Airport projects including:
− Security enhancements to both Airports which include:
New signage and speaking engagements on gate etiquette to prevent piggy-backing of
cars into restricted airport areas without proper authorization.
• Encouraged AAC members and Board of Supervisors, as well as the general public to be
more involved with Contra Costa County Airports and aviation communities.
• Updated the Contra Costa County Airports website and launched a Facebook page to help
increase connection between the community and both airports events, operations, and
information.
Attendance/Representation
• AAC is composed of members representing each of the supervisorial districts, the cities of
Concord and Pleasant Hill, the Airport Business Association, community of Pacheco,
surrounding communities of Byron Airport (Brentwood, Byron, Knightsen, Discovery Bay),
and three at large positions for a total of 13 members
• Quorums have been achieved with good participation from members for 2019
• The AAC is a diverse group of aviation professionals, retired executives, members of the
public, consultants, and educators. There is a balanced mix of pilots and non-pilots.
• Several committee members are also involved in other county and city advisory bodies,
committees, and commissions

Subject:APPROVAL of Consent to Assignment of Lease & Third Amendment to Lease between Lithina Real Estate, Inc and
Future Automotive Concord, Inc.
BACKGROUND:
Under a ground lease dated October 20, 1985, the County leased the subject property for the purpose of
automotive sales and servicing at Buchanan Field Airport. The lease was assigned to Lithia Real Estate,
Inc. on October 6, 2015. Lithia Real Estate now desires to assign all of his interest in the lease to Future
Automotive Concord, Inc. An assignment of the lease requires the prior written consent of the County.
Staff recommends (1) consent to assignment, and (2) execution of an amendment to the lease to modify

THIRD AMENDMENT TO LEASE
BETWEEN CONTRA COSTA COUNTY AND LITHIA REAL ESTATE, INC.
This Third Amendment to Lease (“Amendment ”) is dated _______, 2020 (the “Effective
Date ”), and is between the COUNTY OF CONTRA COSTA , a political subdivision of the State of
California (“Lessor” or “County”), and FUTURE AUTOMOTIVE CONCORD, INC, a California
corporation (“Lessee ” or Tenant”). Lessor and Lessee are sometimes collectively referred to as
the “parties ,” and each a “party.”
Recitals
A. County owns fee title to the approximately 6.1 -acre parcel of real property better known
as 4901 Marsh Drive (the “Premises”), in the City of Concord, California, near the
Buchanan Field Airport (“Airport”).
B. Lessor entered into a lease (“Lease”) dated August 20, 1985, with the Solano Way

shall mean “FUTURE AUTOMOTIVE C ONCORD, INC, a California corporation.”
THIRD AMENDMENT TO LEASE
Project: Lithia Real Estate
January 5, 2020
Page 2 of 6
2. Section 4. Term. in the Lease, as amended, is deleted in its entirety and replaced
with new Section 4. Term., to read as follows :
4. Term.
A. Initial Term. The initial Lease term (“Term”) begins on the Effective
Date, and it expires on August 20, 2032.
B. Extensions. Tenant may extend the Term of the Lease up to three
times, one extension at a time, each for an additional period of five (5)
years (each an “Extension Period”), upon all terms, covenants, and
conditions set forth herein, and provided both (i) that Tenant is not in
default beyond any applicable cure period as of the commencement of
the Extension Period, and (ii) that Tenant is not in default on the day
an Extension Notice (defined below) is given. Not less than six (6)
months prior to the end of the Term, Tenant may request that the Lease
be extended by an Extension Period by giving to the Director of
Airports written notice (the “Extension Notice ”) of Tenant’s intention
to exercise the option to extend the Term for an Extension Period.
Tenant’s failure to timely deliver an Extension Notice shall constitute
a waiver of Tenant’s option to extend the Term.
Lease extension period one would commence on August 21, 2032, and
end on August 20, 2037. Lease extension period two would commence
on August 21, 2037, and end on August 20, 2042. Lease extension
period three would commence on August 21, 2042, and end on August
20, 2047.
Upon commencement of an Extension Period, all references to the Term
of this lease will be deemed to mean the Term as extended pursuant to
this Section.
3. Section 5. Rent in the Lease, as previously amended, is hereby deleted in its
entirety and replaced with new Section 5. Rent., to read:
5. Rent: Tenant shall make the following payments to Lessor:
A. Upfront Payment. In recognition of this lease effectively extending the
1985 Lease, Tenant shall pay $15,000 as a non-refundable upfront
payment to Lessor on or before January 15, 2020.
B. Initial Rent: Beginning on the Effective Date, Tenant shall pay rent in
the amount of Twenty-Five Thousand Four Hundred Thirty-Two and
42/Dollars ($25,432.42) per month (“Rent”).
C. CPI Increases: On January 1, 2021, and on each January 1 thereafter
throughout the Term, the Rent will be increased (or remain
unchanged, but not decreased) and rounded to the nearest dollar,
THIRD AMENDMENT TO LEASE
Project: Lithia Real Estate
January 5, 2020
Page 3 of 6
according to the change in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) for the
most recent period ending October 31, based on the CPI Factor
(defined below). Any adjustment to Rent based on the CPI Factor may
not be by more than ten percent (10%) per annum or 25% over any
five (5) year period of Rent then in effect.
D. No Decrease in Base Rent: In no event will the Rent for any year be
less than the Rent in effect during the immediately preceding year. In
the event there is a decrease in the CPI, Rent for the years in question
will be the same as the rent for the preceding year.
E. Consumer Price Index Rent Adjustment : The “CPI Factor” means
the percentage by which the “Index,” as defined below, for the most
recent one-year period ending October 31 has increased over the Index
in effect for the immediately preceding one -year period, calculated to
the nearest one-tenth of one percent. The term “Index” means the
Consumer Price Index, all Urban Consumers, All Items, for the San
Francisco-Oakland-San Jose Metropolitan Area (1982–84 = 100), as
published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of
Labor, or its successor or a substitute index published as a replacement
for that index by said Department or by any other United States
governmental agency.
Lessor will notify Tenant of any increase in Rent when Lessor
completes the calculation of increased Rent. If such notice is given after
the effective date of the increase, Tenant shall pay any increased Rent
retroactively to the effective date of the increase.
F. Late Rental Payments : In the event Tenant fails to pay Lessor any
amount due under this Lease within five (5) days after such amount is
due, Tenant shall pay to Lessor a late charge of One Hundred and
No/100 Dollars ($100) per occurrence, plus interest on said unpaid
balance at a rate of one and one-half percent (1-1/2%) per month, from
the date said payment was due and payable until paid in full. Tenant
shall pay said late charge on or before the next installment of rent is due.
Lessor and Tenant hereby agree that it is and will be impracticable and
extremely difficult to ascertain and fix Lessor’s actual damage from any
late payments and, thus, that Tenant shall pay as liquidated damages to
Lessor the late charge specified in this Section, which is the result of the
parties’ reasonable endeavor to estimate fair average compensation for
the late payment (other than attorneys’ fees and c osts). Lessor’s
acceptance of the Late Charge as liquidated damages does not constitute
a waiver of Tenant’s default with respect to the overdue amount or
prevent Lessor from exercising any of the rights and remedies available
to Lessor under this lease.
G. Form and Place of Payment: All Rent and fees shall be paid in cash or
by personal check, certified check, or money order, payable to the
County of Contra Costa, and must be received on or before the due date
at the Director of Airports Office, 550 Sally Ride Drive, Concord,
THIRD AMENDMENT TO LEASE

Page 4 of 6
California 94520, or at such other place as Lessor may designate from
time to time.
H. Returned Checks: If a check written by Tenant is returned for
insufficient funds, Lessor may impose a reasonable service charge in
addition to any charges imposed by the bank. Lessor may require
Tenant to pay Rent by certified check or money order if Tenant’s bank
or banks have returned one or more personal checks in a ny twelve (12)
month period.
I. Lessor Processing and Transaction Fees: In the event that Tenant
requires or requests Lessor’s review, investigation, processing,
recordation, or any other action in connection with any Tenant
document, proposal, or other matter (such as review of a proposed
assignment, or other transfer, or estoppel certificate or financing of
Leasehold Estate), Tenant shall pay all such costs and expenses incurred
by Lessor within thirty (30) days after demand therefor by Lessor.
Tenant shall pay to Lessor a transaction fee (“Transaction Fee”) of
Two Thousand Five Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($2,500.00), plus all
Lessor’s costs, including, but not limited to, staff time at rates
determined by the County Auditor, for Lessor’s time spent in
connection with Lessor’s reviewing a transaction until said transaction
is completed. The Transaction Fee shall be increased by $500.00 every
five years after the Effective Date of this Third Amendment to Lease.
4. Section 18.A. Notice is deleted in its entirety and replaced with new Section 18.A.
Notice, to read:
A. Notice. Any and all notices given under this Lease, or otherwise, must be
delivered in a sealed envelope addressed to the party intended to receive
the same, at its designated address, and either (a) deposited with the
United States Post Office as certified mail with postage prepaid, or (b)

unmodified and continue in full force and effect. In the event of any conflict
between the terms and conditions of the Lease and this third amendment, the
terms and conditions of this Amendment will prevail.

County
Subject:Partial settlement of State of California ex rel. OnTheGo Wireless, LLC v. Cellco Partnership d/b/a Verizon Wireless,
et al. (Sac. Superior Court)
BACKGROUND:
This board order authorizes the County to participate in a settlement with Nextel of California, Inc. (dba
Sprint Nextel and Nextel Communications) and Sprint Solutions, Inc., (collectively, “Sprint”) in a False
Claims Act lawsuit filed on behalf of the State of California and several public agencies against several
wireless carriers. The lawsuit, State of California ex rel. OnTheGo Wireless, LLC v. Cellco
Partnership d/b/a Verizon Wireless, et al. (Sacramento Superior Court Case No.
34-2012-00127517), alleges that several wireless carriers, including Sprint, billed public agencies more
than they agreed to bill under multi-agency contracts for wireless services. The County participated in those
contracts and paid Sprint approximately $1,759,835 for wireless services under the contract during the
period covered by the lawsuit (2006-2012). The relator OnTheGo Wireless, LLC, (“Relator”) litigated this
lawsuit on behalf of the State of California, Contra Costa County, and several other cities, counties, and
public agencies.
The County received a notice that the Relator has agreed to a settlement with Sprint. This settlement will
require Sprint to pay a total of $9,220,391, plus attorney’s fees, for its alleged unlawful conduct. The Court
will consider giving final approval of the settlement with Sprint on March 17, 2020. If the Court approves
the settlement, and if the County signs and returns a release form by February 18, 2020, the County will
receive $61,342.08 from the Sprint settlement funds. The release form will release Sprint from all claims
related to its alleged unlawful billing practices that were raised or could have been raised in this litigation.
If the County does not sign and return a release form and the court approves the settlement, the County’s
settlement amount would be reduced by 10 percent.
The Purchasing Agent recommends approving the partial settlement with Sprint and authorizing the
execution and return of a release form, to ensure that the County receives the full amount of its allocation of
settlement funds.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the County takes no action and the court approves the settlement, the County would only receive
approximately $55,200 in settlement funds.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
DENY claims filed by Donald Cramer, Ou Feng, Anne Hancock, Stacey Huddleston, Deborah McFadden,
Kevin Patterson, Aaron Patrick Pearce, and George West.
FISCAL IMPACT:

RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE the proposed Appropriation Adjustments AP005033 for the Health Services Department to
properly align revenues and expenditures within the Contra Costa Health Plan (CCHP), Conservatorship,
and Health, Housing and Homeless budget units based on actual experience compared to the FY 2019/20
Adopted Budget.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This action increases FY 2019/20 appropriations and revenues by $207,659,901 to align budgeted numbers
with actual experience. No impact to net county cost.
BACKGROUND:
The main budgetary change is related to CCHP. The Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) updated
its Medi-Cal capitation rates to include rate increments for its directed payment programs and the Managed
Care Organization tax. The rate increments for the directed payment programs are reimbursed by CCHP to
designated public hospitals, private hospitals and physicians/providers of eligible services. CCHP functions
as a pass through agent for these transactions.
Minor technical adjustments are being made to the Conservatorship and Health, Housing and Homeless
programs.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE the Amended 2018/2019 North Richmond Waste and Recovery Mitigation Fee Expenditure
Plan (Exhibit A), identifying the activities authorized to be funded with Mitigation Fee revenue and
corresponding funding allocations for the period of July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019, as recommended

corresponding funding allocations for the period of July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020, as recommended
by the North Richmond Waste and Recovery Mitigation Fee Joint Expenditure Planning Committee.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The proposed action will not have an impact on the County’s General Fund. This Mitigation Fee revenue is
intended to be used to fund costs incurred by the County and City to implement and oversee the activities
(Strategies) authorized to be funded under the approved North Richmond Waste and Recovery Mitigation
Fee (NRMF) Expenditure Plans. Each annual Expenditure Plan includes a Contingency line item in the
budget to serve as a cushion for potential revenue shortfalls, and staff anticipates that there will be sufficient
funding in the Contingency line item of the 2019/2020 budget for this purpose.

Subject:North Richmond Waste and Recovery Mitigation Fee Expenditure Plans - Amended 2018-2019 and Amended
2019-2020
BACKGROUND:
New Expenditure Plans and/or modifications to existing Expenditure Plans (Amended Expenditure
Plans) must be approved by both the County Board of Supervisors and Richmond City Council to
officially authorize use of NRMF funding. The NRMF was established for the purpose of mitigating
designated impacts resulting from the County and City approved land use permits for the expanded Bulk
Material Processing Center located in North Richmond.
Summary of Changes to the 2018/2019 NRMF Expenditure Plan
The North Richmond Waste and Recovery Mitigation Fee Joint Expenditure Planning Committee
(NRMFC) recommended 2018/2019 NRMF Expenditure Plan was approved by the County Board of
Supervisors in June 2018 and Richmond City Council in July 2018. After the approval of the 2018/2019
Expenditure Plan, County and City staff identified costs incurred in fiscal year 2018/2019 in excess of
the amount anticipated for Strategies 2, 4, 9, and Committee Administration/Staffing. On October 30,
2019, the NRMFC voted to recommend that the County Board of Supervisors and Richmond City
Council approve an Amended 2018/2019 NRMF Expenditure Plan to move $67,891.36 from the
Contingency line item to increase the funding for Strategies 2, 4, 9, and Committee
Administration/Staffing. The revised funding allocations being recommended are shown in the
Amended Expenditure Plan Budget Table (page 3 of Exhibit A) .
Summary of Changes to the 2019/2020 NRMF Expenditure Plan
The NRMFC recommended 2019/2020 NRMF Expenditure Plan was approved by the County Board of
Supervisors in June 2019 and Richmond City Council in July 2019. On October 30, 2019, the NRMFC
voted to recommend that the County Board of Supervisors and Richmond City Council approve an
Amended 2019/2020 NRMF Expenditure Plan (Exhibit B) that incorporates the following changes:
- increased funding to strategy 9 to address rounding error,
- wording added to the descriptions for Strategies 4, 5, & 6 regarding assisting with Strategy 9 site
identification,
- modified description of Strategy 10 to remove the Adult Softball program and expand the
Eco-Workshops to serve all ages, and
- modified wording in Attachment 1 to clarify how advance payments shall be used for projects that do
not include supplies/materials.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the Amended 2018/2019 Expenditure Plan is not approved by the County Board of Supervisors and
the Richmond City Council, the County and City would not be eligible to receive reimbursement for the
excess costs incurred for the annual period that ended on June 30, 2019. Furthermore, if the Amended
2019/2020 Expenditure Plan is not approved by the Board, activities provided for by the modified
Strategy descriptions would not be eligible for reimbursement.
ATTACHMENTS
Exhibit A (2018-2019 EP)
Exhibit B (2019-2020 EP)
North Richmond Waste & Recovery Mitigation Fee
Amended 2018/19 Expenditure Plan
The Waste & Recovery Mitigation Fee was established as a result of the Draft Environmental
Impact Report (EIR) dated November 2003 for the WCCSL Bulk Materials Processing Center
(BMPC) and Related Actions (Project). The Project involved new and expanded processing and
resource recovery operations on both the incorporated and unincorporated area of the Project
site, which the EIR concluded would impact the host community. To mitigate this impact
Mitigation Measure 4-5 called for a Mitigation Fee to benefit the host community, described as
follows:
“Mitigation Fee. The facility operator shall pay a Mitigation Fee of an amount to be
determined by the applicable permitting authority(ies) to defray annual costs
associated with collection and disposal of illegally dumped waste and associated
impacts in North Richmond and adjacent areas. The mitigation fee should be subject
to the joint-control of the City and County and should be collected on all solid waste and
processible materials received at the facility consistent with the existing mitigation fee
collected at the Central IRRF.”
In July 2004, the City of Richmond and Contra Costa County entered into a Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) agreeing to jointly administer Mitigation Fee monies collected from the
BMPC for the benefit of the incorporated and unincorporated North Richmond area. This North
Richmond Waste & Recovery Mitigation Fee Joint Expenditure Planning Committee
(Committee) was formed pursuant to the terms of the MOU for the specific purpose of preparing
a recommended Expenditure Plan. This Expenditure Plan provides a means to jointly
administer the Mitigation Fee funding for the benefit of the host community, as described in the
EIR. The Expenditure Plan is subject to final approval of the Richmond City Council and the
Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors.
By approving this Expenditure Plan, the City Council and Board of Supervisors authorize the
use of Mitigation Fee funding for only the purposes and in the amounts specified herein. The
City and County have each designated their respective staff persons responsible for
administering the development and implementation of the approved Expenditure Plan, which
includes responsibility for drafting and interpreting Expenditure Plan language. However, the
City and County have not delegated to the Committee or to staff the authority to expend funding
for purposes not clearly identified in the Expenditure Plan document officially approved by their
respective decision-making bodies.
Activities which can be funded in this Expenditure Plan period with the Mitigation Fee amounts
specified within this Expenditure Plan are described herein as “Strategies” or “Staff Costs”.
Strategies are categorized as either “Core Services” or “Supplemental Enhancements”. Core
Services includes the higher funding priority strategies that most directly address the intended
purpose of this City/County approved Mitigation Fee, “to defray annual costs associated with
collection and disposal of illegally dumped waste and associated impacts in North Richmond”.
All references to the “Mitigation Fee Primary Funding Area” or “Mitigation Fee Funding Area”
pertain to the geographic area shown in the attached map (Attachment 4).

(unless otherwise specified herein)
Exhibit A
2018/2019 Expenditure Plan - North Richmond Waste & Recovery Mitigation Fee
- Page 2 of 13 -
BUDGET
The funding allocation amounts included in this document apply to the Expenditure Plan Period
specified on the first page unless otherwise specified herein. The total amount of funding
allocated in the Expenditure Plan Budget is based on revenue projections provided by the
BMPC operator, Republic Service, which are dependent upon multiple variables (e.g. number of
tons of recovered materials vs. solid waste, per ton gate rate charged and amount of CPI -
adjusted per ton Mitigation Fee). Actual Mitigation Fee revenue may deviate from revenue
projections provided by Republic and used to prepare this Budget. A “Contingency” line item is
included in the Budget to help accommodate variations between projected and actual revenue.
Excess funding allocated to strategies and not expended by the end of each Expenditure Plan
period is treated as “roll-over” funding for reallocation in a subsequent Expenditure Plan period.
The Budget includes some line items that are based on fixed costs, however there are other line
items which are scalable and/or dependent on utilization thereby providing flexibility to
reallocate amounts if and when a significant need is identified. Allocated funding may remain
unspent due to under-utilization of a particular program. If the amount allocated to a particular
line item is determined to exceed needs based upon usage, the remaining funding can only be
reallocated by officially amending the Expenditure Plan. This Expenditure Plan may only be
adjusted upon official action taken by both the City and County. Although there has been some
interest in allowing flexibility for staff to adjust funding allocations under specific circumstances,
the authority to approve or modify the Expenditure Plan rests solely with the City Council and
Board of Supervisors.
Annual fiscal year Expenditure Plan cycle is expected to reduce margin of error of Mitigation
Fee revenue projects, streamline financial reconciliation/budgeting process and minimize need
to amend Expenditure Plans mid-cycle. Amending Expenditure Plans involve administrative
burden and costs due to the joint approval needed from both the Richmond City Council and
County Board of Supervisors. In order to minimize the amount of funding needed to cover staff
costs incurred to amend the Expenditure Plan, staff will only recommend changes to the
Expenditure Plan when necessary to address a significant and time-sensitive need.

Request Proposal released on February 9, 2018 by Committee Staff and Proposals submitted by eligible non-profit organizations on March 6, 2018.1 The project selections, funding recommendations and
number of non-profits selected by the Committee are shown below for the 2018/2019 Expenditure Plan.

North Richmond Waste & Recovery Mitigation Fee
Amended 2019/20 Expenditure Plan
The Waste & Recovery Mitigation Fee was established as a result of the Draft Environmental
Impact Report (EIR) dated November 2003 for the WCCSL Bulk Materials Processing Center
(BMPC) and Related Actions (Project). The Project involved new and expanded processing and
resource recovery operations on both the incorporated and unincorporated area of the Project
site, which the EIR concluded would impact the host community. To mitigate this impact
Mitigation Measure 4-5 called for a Mitigation Fee to benefit the host community, described as
follows:
“Mitigation Fee. The facility operator shall pay a Mitigation Fee of an amount to be
determined by the applicable permitting authority(ies) to defray annual costs
associated with collection and disposal of illegally dumped waste and associated
impacts in North Richmond and adjacent areas. The mitigation fee should be subject
to the joint-control of the City and County and should be collected on all solid waste and
processible materials received at the facility consistent with the existing mitigation fee
collected at the Central IRRF.”
In July 2004, the City of Richmond and Contra Costa County entered into a Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) agreeing to jointly administer Mitigation Fee monies collected from the
BMPC for the benefit of the incorporated and unincorporated North Richmond area. This North
Richmond Waste & Recovery Mitigation Fee Joint Expenditure Planning Committee
(Committee) was formed pursuant to the terms of the MOU for the specific purpose of preparing
a recommended Expenditure Plan. This Expenditure Plan provides a means to jointly
administer the Mitigation Fee funding for the benefit of the host community, as described in the
EIR. The Expenditure Plan is subject to final approval of the Richmond City Council and the
Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors.
By approving this Expenditure Plan, the City Council and Board of Supervisors authorize the
use of Mitigation Fee funding for only the purposes and in the amounts specified herein. The
City and County have each designated their respective staff persons responsible for
administering the development and implementation of the approved Expenditure Plan, which
includes responsibility for drafting and interpreting Expenditure Plan language. However, the
City and County have not delegated to the Committee or to staff the authority to expend funding
for purposes not clearly identified in the Expenditure Plan document officially approved by their
respective decision-making bodies.
Activities which can be funded in this Expenditure Plan period with the Mitigation Fee amounts
specified within this Expenditure Plan are described herein as “Strategies” or “Staff Costs”.
Strategies are categorized as either “Core Services” or “Supplemental Enhancements”. Core
Services includes the higher funding priority strategies that most directly address the intended
purpose of this City/County approved Mitigation Fee, “to defray annual costs associated with
collection and disposal of illegally dumped waste and associated impacts in North Richmond”.
All references to the “Mitigation Fee Primary Funding Area” or “Mitigation Fee Funding Area”
pertain to the geographic area shown in the attached map (Attachment 4).

(unless otherwise specified herein)
Exhibit B
2019/2020 Expenditure Plan - North Richmond Waste & Recovery Mitigation Fee
- Page 2 of 12 -
BUDGET
The funding allocation amounts included in this document apply to the Expenditure Plan Period
specified on the first page unless otherwise specified herein. The total amount of funding
allocated in the Expenditure Plan Budget is based on revenue projections provided by the
BMPC operator, Republic Service, which are dependent upon multiple variables (e.g. number of
tons of recovered materials vs. solid waste, per ton gate rate charged and amount of CPI -
adjusted per ton Mitigation Fee). Actual Mitigation Fee revenue may deviate from revenue
projections provided by Republic and used to prepare this Budget. A “Contingency” line item is
included in the Budget to help accommodate variations between projected and actual revenue.
Excess funding allocated to strategies and not expended by the end of each Expenditure Plan
period is treated as “roll-over” funding for reallocation in a subsequent Expenditure Plan period.
The Budget includes some line items that are based on fixed costs, however there are other line
items which are scalable and/or dependent on utilization thereby providing flexibility to
reallocate amounts if and when a significant need is identified. Allocated funding may remain
unspent due to under-utilization of a particular program. If the amount allocated to a particular
line item is determined to exceed needs based upon usage, the remaining funding can only be
reallocated by officially amending the Expenditure Plan. This Expenditure Plan may only be
adjusted upon official action taken by both the City and County. Although there has been some
interest in allowing flexibility for staff to adjust funding allocations under specific circumstances,
the authority to approve or modify the Expenditure Plan rests solely with the City Council and
Board of Supervisors.
Annual fiscal year Expenditure Plan cycle is expected to reduce margin of error of Mitigation
Fee revenue projects, streamline financial reconciliation/budgeting process and minimize need
to amend Expenditure Plans mid-cycle. Amending Expenditure Plans involve administrative
burden and costs due to the joint approval needed from both the Richmond City Council and
County Board of Supervisors. In order to minimize the amount of funding needed to cover staff
costs incurred to amend the Expenditure Plan, staff will only recommend changes to the
Expenditure Plan when necessary to address a significant and time-sensitive need.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
ACCEPT the attached report and recommendations included in the report; DIRECT staff to bring the topic
of inadequate resources up at the next Public Managers' Meeting; DIRECT County Administration staff to
attend the Animal Services Director meetings with city managers to discuss new contracts and fees; and,
include these fees in the FY 2020-21 budget development for the department.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No fiscal impact at this time. If additional department revenues are not secured from contracted cities
service levels to contract cities will be reduced.
BACKGROUND:
On June 18, 2019, the Board of Supervisors referred a review of city contract fees for Animal Services to
the Finance Committee. The following report was provided to the Finance Committee at its meeting of
December 16, 2019.
In the fall of 2017, Contra Costa Animal Services (CCAS) hired the firm City Gate Associates, LLC. (City
Gate) to perform a cost analysis of the County's animal services operations for animal control services to
contracted cities. The County's primary purpose in conducting this analysis was to develop a factual and
analytical study upon which the Department could make critical decisions for financial sustainability. The

analysis was necessary to identify and begin financial recovery steps and processes for the Department,
strengthen its operational and financial foundation to position itself for success, both short and
long-term, and enhance its services for the future to adequately serve our community residents and care
for our animals.
The report of the analysis was provided in early 2018 and action steps were already in place to address
operational efficiencies and to create clear and realistic budget recommendations for FY 2018/19. The
efforts to strengthen core financial and operational activities included working with the County
Administrator’s Office (CAO) on our budget and forecasting, updating the current Department fee
schedule, developing Standard Operating Procedures (SOP’s), increasing staff training, evaluating key
programs to improve efficiencies (examples: phone services, customer wait times, field service response
times, etc), and filling funded vacant positions.
The next phase was to address the impacts of population growth in Contra Costa County and the service
demands of the residents we serve. Contra Costa County population has increased by nearly 10% since
2010 in the contracted cities and unincorporated areas that we serve. The analysis contained research
and comparison of services provided by other similar animal control agencies by assessing these
agencies’ costs and revenues, including, but not limited to, personnel, operations, and service delivery
models. Bay area traffic has grown over 80% since 2010, which has created more challenges for Animal
Service Officers to respond to calls in a timely manner for dangerous, sick and injured animals and for
members of the public trying to reach our shelters to search for their lost animals, bring in strays and use
our services. Another key factor impacting the cost of providing field and shelter services is the state
mandate to accept stray animals and the community’s desire to have a place to safely surrender a pet that
they no longer have the ability keep. This resulted in the Department receiving many challenging
animals that are impounded into Contra Costa County shelters. These animals can require extensive
resources to get them to an adoptable state as defined by the California Food and Agricultural Code
17005 (established in 1998) which reads:
“Adoptable animals include only those animals eight weeks of age or older that, at or
subsequent to the time the animal is impounded or otherwise taken back into possession,
have manifested no sign of a behavioral or temperamental defect that could pose a health
or safety risk or otherwise make the animal unsuitable for placement as a pet, and have
manifested no signs of disease, injury, or congenital or hereditary condition that
adversely affects the health of the animal or that is likely to adversely affect the animal’s
health in the future.”
Other key factors included the need of the community to retrieve stray animals, responding to injured
animals, picking up deceased animals, supporting families who may have been at risk due to a biting
animal, investigating animal cruelty, etc.
Our current contract fee structure does not allow CCAS to keep up with the services the residents we
serve desire to have available. Based on the Department’s current staffing levels and response times to
our communities, CCAS needs to increase the levels of staffing to appropriately care for the animals and
to serve our community in a timely manner. As described in the City Gate report, the County has the
authority to charge user fees for animal control services, such as those services provided by CCAS to the
18 contracted cities and unincorporated County areas per capita based on the population of each
jurisdiction. The fees charged by the County must not be more than the estimated cost that the County
incurs to provide the services for which the fees are charged. The main cost the County incurs providing
animal control, husbandry and veterinary care and services is the cost of County staff time.
Summary of Key Findings:
CCAS city contracts were established in 1985. The contract stipulates services for mandated programs
and the enforcement of all animal related laws. The fees were based on Department costs at that time
and on a city’s population (per capita). In May of 2005, the Board of Supervisors granted approval for
the Animal Services Department to increase city contracts each fiscal year based on the municipality’s
population growth and the Consumer Price Index (CPI) percentage. There was no adjustment for the
drastic increase in costs for providing services as a baseline. These annual increases at approximately
3.5% per year have not generated sufficient revenue allocations to cover the increased expenses for
providing animal control services throughout Contra Costa County. Personnel costs account for over
72% of the Department’s budget. City Contract revenues remained flat from FY2010/11 to FY2014/15
due to the Board waiving the annual CPI increases during the economic downturn, while operational and
personnel expenses continued to rise.
In the City Gate, LLC. report, it highlights in Section 1.2.2 “Post-Great-Recession Rebuild” that the
Department has suffered a significant turnover in leadership, budget cuts, and had difficulty with
personnel retention and recruitment. In parallel, the demand from the public and animal advocates
around the “No Kill” movement increased the Department’s expectations to provide a higher level of
veterinary care, which increased the operational cost for medical services for shelter animals. The City
Gate report indicates the public expectation has become that shelters can achieve a goal of saving 90%
of all sheltered dogs and cats. In FY 2015/16, the Department began to assess its cost for services to the
contract cities. The internal financial analysis determined that the cost for services are far greater to
provide contracted animal control services to the 18 Cities, which is discussed in the City Gate report in
Section 4.2.2.
In FY 2017/18, the Department implemented strong financial strategies with the support of the County
Administrator’s Office that were discussed in Section 5 of the City Gate, LLC. Report. The action items
that were implemented have provided the Department a financial baseline on what the personnel,
operational and community service levels are, and what they must be to provide adequate care for our
animals and the staffing levels needed to provide public safety for our community members.
Recommendations:
In order for the Department to sustain current services levels, along with the County’s population
growth, the Department recommends the formula for city contract fees would be current per capita fee
($6.38) multiplied by the Bay Area CPI, which is estimated at 3.5% plus $1.00 for five (5) years as a
method for spreading the fee increase out over time to ease the impact on the contract cities:
FY 20/21 - $ 7.60
FY 21/22 - $ 8.87
FY 22/23 - $10.18
FY 23/24 - $11.54
FY 24/25 - $12.94
Committee Direction:
The following report was provided to the Finance Committee at its meeting of December 16, 2019. The
Committee accepted the report and recommendations included in the report and directed staff to bring
the topic of inadequate resources up at the next Public Managers' Meeting. Additional direction included
County Administration staff joining Beth Ward to attend individual meetings with city managers to
discuss new contracts and fees. Peter Wilson from Project Delta View Cats spoke in support of
additional resources to address the needs of the community. Staff was directed to bring the
recommendations to the full Board of Supervisors.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If these actions are not implemented the Department will not have the adequate resources to sustain its
current service levels. The gap between the Department’s budget revenues and actual expenses will
negatively impact the communities and animals in Contra Costa County.
The immediate impact if the Department recommendations are not approved will be:
Minimize public shelter service hours1.
After hours Field Operation Services will need to be eliminated2.
Eliminate deceased animal pickups, which would have to become the responsibility
of each City and the County‘s Public Works Departments.
3.
The population of sheltered animals would have to be controlled significantly
through euthanasia for animals with treatable conditions outside of the Department’s
veterinary scope of services and financial resources.
4.
Additionally, if cities decline to agree to new contracts and fee structures then CCAS would stop
providing services other than those required by State statute to those cities. The cities who may choose
not to contract with the County would then be responsible for enforcement of their own animal control
ordinances, management of stray animals in their jurisdictions similar to how the City of Antioch
currently operates independent of the County.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 22534 to add one permanent full-time Buyer II (STTA)
position at salary plan and grade level ZB5-1525 ($5,781-$7,027) and cancel one Lead Materials
Technician (91VD) position #16121 at salary plan and grade level TB5-1359 ($4,905-$5,962) in the Health
Services Department. (Represented)
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is an annual increased cost of approximately $21,538.00 with pension costs of $4,866.00 already
included. The cost is 100% offset by Enterprise Fund I Subsidy.
BACKGROUND:
The Health Services Department is requesting to add one permanent Buyer II position and cancel vacant
Lead Materials Technician position #16121 allocated in the Information Technology Procurement Team. As
part of a re-structure in 2015, the Lead Materials Technician position was added although it was never
filled. The Department has determined the position does not serve its operational needs and a Buyer II
position is the most appropriate classification based on the higher level duties and responsibilities required

RECOMMENDATION(S):
ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 22514 to establish the classification of Weed and Vertebrate
Pest Control Technician - Project (B9W4) (represented) position at Salary Plan and Grade QA5 1116
($3855.45) and add three (3) Weed and Vertebrate Pest Control Technician - Project positions in the
Agriculture - Weights and Measures Department.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is an annual cost of approximately $32,142.32 per employee, including benefits, which is offset by
agreements with the California Department of Food and Agriculture, Public Works, and contracts with East
Bay Regional Parks. Having project staff do most of the weed and vertebrate control work will allow us to
get more work done in the contracts and it will free up licensed Biologists to do work in other contracts that
require a license to complete the work, bringing in other revenue as well.
BACKGROUND:
The Agriculture Department is requesting to establish the classification of Weed and Vertebrate Pest
Control Technician - Project. This position will perform noxious weed and vertebrate pest control work
under supervision. The primary duties of the Weed and Vertebrate Pest Control Technician - Project will be
to perform noxious weed and ground squirrel control. These are seasonal programs typically performed
from February through September. These pest control activities occur throughout the county and require the
candidate to work outside on a daily basis.

6. Briefly explain the consequences of not filling the project position(s) in terms of:
a. potential future costs d. political implications
b. legal implications e. organizational implications
c . financial implications
Failure to fill the projected positions would result in the department possibly not being able to fulfill the scope of work as

the county threatening t he agricultural industry and natural environment.
7. Briefly describe the alternative approaches to delivering the services which you have considered. Indicate why these

The department could utilize licensed biologist to conduct the work. However, it wouls result in an increase of cost of

use project staff in case funding goes away as it has in the past.

Subject:Appoint Director of Risk Management - Exempt
BACKGROUND:
In March of 2019, the County commenced its recruitment to fill the Director of Risk Management - Exempt
position.
The County contracted with Avery Associates to conduct the recruitment. Invitation letters and copies of
the recruitment brochure were sent to 150 potential candidates. The position was advertised nationwide,
including at CALPELRA, NPELRA, CSAC, IPMA Western Region and Northern California,
RiskManagement.com, Risk Management Society, and LinkedIn. By the end of the six week recruiting
period, a total of 55 resumes were received. Of these resumes, 17 applicants met the minimum
qualifications. After intensive candidate screening and interviews, six finalists were forwarded for
interviews with the County management team.
Following a series of interviews, reference checks and other background investigation, Karen Caoile was
selected for the position.
Ms. Caoile holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science with an emphasis in Public Administration from
California State University, Hayward. She currently serves on the General Liability, Property, and Medical
Malpractice Committees of the CSAC Excess Insurance Authority and previously served as the Committee
Chair for both the Medical Malpractice Committee and the Technology Committee. Ms. Caoile’s career in
Risk Management has included city, special district, and county government, beginning with the East Bay
Regional Park District followed by four years as the Assistant Risk Manager for the City of Alameda. She
joined County of Alameda in 2005 and most recently has served as Acting Assistant Director of Risk
Management.
Ms. Caoile has established collaborative relationships with industry professionals and other public entities
that recognize her as a highly skilled practitioner who facilitates the exchange of information and resolves
multi-agency problems. She has a strong commitment to high ethical and professional standards and
developing creative, proactive solutions in the complex risk management arena.
It is recommended that Karen Caoile be appointed Director of Risk Management - Exempt at Step 1 of the
salary range effective January 14, 2020.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The County will not have a Director of Risk Management to lead this critical function.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 22567 to add one Deputy Director of Health Services-Exempt

cancelling an additional position at a later date to further mitigate this cost increase.
BACKGROUND:
The Health Services Department is requesting to add one Deputy Director of Health Services - Exempt
position to support the Health Services Director in providing dedicated attention and focused program
support to departmental division heads. In the past ten years, the Department has responded to various

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the County Librarian, or designee, to apply for and accept a grant in the
amount of $195,000 from the City of Antioch to provide a new HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air
conditioning) system at the Antioch Library.
FISCAL IMPACT:

BACKGROUND:
The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program is funded by the federal government through
the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The primary objective of this program is to
help develop viable urban communities through the provision of decent housing, a suitable living
environment, and economic opportunity, principally for low and moderate income persons.
The City of Antioch joins the cities of Concord, Pittsburg, Walnut Creek, and the Urban County on behalf
of all the other cities, to form the Contra Costa HOME and CDBG Consortium. Together these jurisdictions
cover all of Contra Costa County and have a joint, integrated funding application for these funds.

Subject:Grant in the amount of $195,000 from the City of Antioch for CDBG funds
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the grant is not applied for and monies are not received, the current aging and insufficient HVAC
system at the library will continue to run at suboptimal levels and risks becoming inoperable in the near
future. An inoperable HVAC system would mean the Antioch Library could not serve as a cooling
center or potentially a warming center for people experiencing homelessness. Additionally, it will be
unable to provide a comfortable environment for its patrons.

Costa
County
Subject:Approve Community Services Block Grant Revenue Contract Amendment
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
from the California Department of Community Services and Development on October 30, 2018. As the
County's Community Action Agency, the Department's Community Services Bureau regularly receives
Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) funding to operate self-sufficiency programs under the
advisement of the County's Economic Opportunity Council. The self-sufficiency programs have the goal of
ameliorating poverty in Contra Costa County through programs that address housing, economic
development and food security. Examples of programs to receive funding include those that provide
employment training, housing payment assistance and food distribution.
The Board approved the funding allocation on November 13, 2018 (c.30) in the amount of $847,381. This
allocation was an estimate provided by the state based on 2018 allocations. Subsequently, the state
provided the accurate 2019 allocation as confirmed by the federal budget. On December 11, 2018 (c.27),
the Board approved a correction board order to clarify the payment limit, of $850,578. This board order is to
extend the term end date of the agreement from December 31, 2019 to February 29, 2020.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The Department will be hampered in its ability to operate self-sufficiency programs in the community, and
to establish partnerships with community based agencies and public organizations.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of County
Contract #28-906, including mutual indemnification, with the City of Oakley, a government agency, to
provide congregate meal services for the County’s Senior Nutrition Program for the period from January 1,
2020 through June 30, 2020, which includes a three-month automatic extension through September 30,
2020.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Agency will pay County the voluntary contributions it receives from participating seniors, after it has paid
its authorized expenses. No County funds required.
BACKGROUND:
This Contract meets the social needs of County’s population by providing an average of 35 congregate
meals one day per week for senior citizens at the Oakley Senior Center.

carry out the proposed program.
Approval of Application #28-759-23 will allow Contra Costa County Environmental Health services to
apply for funds to implement the waste tire enforcement program through September 30, 2021.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this grant is not approved, the County will not be able to monitor and reduce illegal waste tire practices,
educate and enforce proper waste tire management throughout the County, assist in reducing potential
vector problems and prevent tire fires, nor protect public health and safety.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, on behalf of the

Costa
County
Subject:Department of Health Care Services, Medi-Cal Health Navigators Project
BACKGROUND:
Contra Costa County Employment Human Services Department (EHSD) currently conducts Medi-Cal
navigation services. Through our Workforce Services Bureau, we have Medi-Cal eligibility workers and
other project staff to assist with navigation efforts within our three county regions, West, East and Central
County. Our efforts are currently conducted in EHSD and partner service sites, and target specific
populations. Approximately 240,000 individuals in Contra Costa County receive health coverage through
Medi-Cal every month. DHCS funds would enable EHSD and community to conduct outreach activities to
enroll and retain an estimated 7,000 individuals to Medi-Cal over the two-year grant period. The grant
would allow EHSD to expand navigation efforts to include the following targeted populations: persons who
are homeless; immigrants and families of mixed immigration status; and persons with limited English
proficiency. This grant funding will be used to:
Expand and increase Medi-Cal outreach and enrollment to the homeless population,
both sheltered and unsheltered individuals; and
Expand and increase Medi-Cal outreach and enrollment to immigrant population,
Limited English Proficient (LEP), and families of mixed immigration status.
Expenses these funds will support include two Social Services Program Assistant positions and $675,687
for contract support.
EHSD's Workforce Services Bureau will partner with Contra Costa Health Services and contracted
community-based partners to deliver the Medi-Cal outreach and enrollment activities outlined in the
proposal application to DHCS. Additional partners may be identified and added as needed.
Pros and cons of request:
Pros:
Leverages existing Medi-Cal services and community-based partners to address gaps in
services for homeless adults, immigrants and the LEP population.
Addresses gaps in need to cover more uninsured County residents in Medi-Cal health
benefits.
Provides focused Medi-Cal outreach and retention activities to understand
communities.
Cons:
Sustainability of program funding beyond end of allocation term, December 31, 2021.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Without funding, the County will continue to face an increasing number of uninsured clients without access
to health care and preventative services.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
ADOPT Resolution No. 2020/10 approving and authorizing the Sheriff-Coroner or designee, to apply for
and accept the California Department of Parks and Recreation, Division of Boating and Waterways
Financial Aid Program Agreement in an initial amount of $738,249 for marine patrol and boating regulation
enforcement for the period July 1, 2020 through the end of available funding.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Initial Revenue of $738,249, 100% State funds. The Office of the Sheriff receives annual funding from the
California Department of Parks and Recreation, Division of Boating and Waterways that is incorporated in
the baseline budget. No County match.
BACKGROUND:
California Department of Parks and Recreation, Division of Boating and Waterways (DBW) provides
funding to maintain the service level of the Office of the Sheriff's Marine Patrol Unit on the Delta
Waterways. Marine patrol operations cost roughly $2.4 million per year of which DBW has awarded
$638,249 for each of the past seven years. Beginning July 1, 2016, DBW funded an additional $100,000 for
a total initial amount of $738,249. DBW funding provides the ability for more vigilant enforcement of
boating regulations.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Failure to secure State funding will result in a further reduction in Marine Patrol Services.

County
Subject:Payment for Services Provided by United Family Care, LLC (dba Family Courtyard)
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
In turn, a contract amendment was submitted effective March 1, 2019 to reduce the Contract payment
limit by $84,550. However, due to a calculation error, the Contract payment limit was instead reduced
by $116,224, leaving an insufficient balance to pay the Contractor for services requested and provided
through November 30, 2019. At the end of the contract period, charges of $27,460 had been incurred,
leaving the now-expired contract short by $10,453. The contract renewal effective December 1, 2019 is
currently in process.
Therefore, the County has determined that United Family Care, LLC (dba Family Courtyard) 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
value of those services.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
United Family Care, LLC (dba Family Courtyard) will not be paid for augmented board and care
services rendered in good faith.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Conservation and Development Director, or designee, to execute a
contract with Benchmark Land Use Group, Inc. (dba Benchmark Resources), in an amount not to exceed
$295,952 to prepare an Environmental Impact Report for the CEMEX Clayton Quarry project, for the
period January 7, 2020 through December 31, 2021.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No impact to the County General Fund. The applicant is responsible for payment of costs associated with
the preparation of the Environmental Impact Report.
BACKGROUND:
The Department of Conservation and Development (DCD) received an application from CEMEX
Construction Materials Pacific, LLC., requesting approval of two land use permit applications. The first
application seeks to amend a previously approved 1983 Reclamation Plan, the second request seeks
approval to alter planned contours (depth). As proposed, instead of backfilling the quarry pit to an elevation
of 650 feet above-mean-sea-level (AMSL), the east rim of the quarry pit will remain at an elevation of 800
feet AMSL and the pit will be mined to a depth of 110 feet AMSL and be allowed to fill slowly with storm
water to an elevation of 735 feet AMSL.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Conservation and Development Director, or designee, to execute a
contract amendment with ImagingTek, Inc., to extend the term from January 31, 2020 through January 31,

FISCAL IMPACT:
No impact to the County General Fund. The contract is funded by 100% Land Development Fees.
BACKGROUND:
In January 2014, the Department of Conservation and Development (DCD) entered into a contract with
ImagingTek, Inc., to provide technical assistance and services for the conversion of DCD documents and
files into an electronic format, Laserfiche. This conversion enabled DCD to access all permits/plans
electronically, thereby reducing DCD physical storage needs and costs.
Per the attached State of California Health and Safety Code, DCD is required to maintain an official copy of
plans of every building throughout the life of the building, for which DCD issued a building permit. This
results in a large volume of documents that need to be stored. Further, DCD has other ongoing plans/

point, it is more cost effective to have ImagingTek continue providing the service rather than acquiring
the required equipment.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the proposed contract amendment is not approved, ImagingTek, Inc., would not be able to continue
providing its services, which may result in DCD staff's inability to access permits/plans electronically.
Likewise, DCD would then have to store data at storage facilities and pay for physical storage costs.

FISCAL IMPACT:
No direct fiscal impact associated with this action.
BACKGROUND:
In 2011, the Board of Supervisors approved Resolution Nos. 2011/497 and 2011/498. Resolution No.
2011/497 pertains to Board advisory bodies, and Resolution No. 2011/498 applies to independent bodies.
Resolution No. 2011/497, updated the policy governing procedures for making appointments to advisory
bodies to the Board of Supervisors, in its various capacities, and affirmed a variety of governing polices that
apply to advisory bodies to the Board of Supervisors. Resolution No. 2011/497 superseded an earlier policy,
Resolution No. 2002/377.
Resolution Nos. 2011/497 and 2011/498 provided a critical reference document on various policies for
advisory and independent bodies. The Resolutions delineate the appointments process for District and
At-Large seats. The resolution references key policies defined elsewhere, such as open meeting and ethics
policies. The resolution also aggregates various reporting requirements, such as the Annual Report and
Triennial Review. The policies outlined in these resolutions form the basis for other instructional resources,
such as the advisory body handbook. Maintaining accurate policies and governing documents is critical to

transparency and public participation in County government.
Since their adoption over eight years ago, changes in County policy have affected the guidance
communicated in Resolution Nos. 2011/497 and 2011/498. Over time, the lists of applicable bodies in both
Resolutions have evolved, with numerous newly established bodies, and several that have been dissolved.
In addition to conforming changes, staff suggests several policy changes intended to conform with, or
improve upon, existing practice.
On October 21, 2019, the Internal Operations Committee (IOC) reviewed numerous proposed changes to
Resolution Nos. 2011/497 and 2011/498, pursuant to referral IOC 19/5. The Internal Operations Committee
provided additional direction and recommended that the following changes included in Resolution 2020/1,
attached, be adopted by the Board of Supervisors.
Five main changes are included in Resolution No. 2020/1, as compared to Resolution 2011/497:
1.
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Online Agenda Posting: All advisory bodies will be required to post agendas online, in addition to the
physical posting requirements, effective March 2, 2020. The Clerk of the Board will be responsible for
communicating this requirement to advisory body staff, and for producing associated information on
how to comply.
2. At-Large Appointments Process: Advisory bodies will generally be permitted to conduct their
own interviews for At-Large appointments, with three exceptions: the County Planning Commission,
the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District Advisory Commission, and the Treasury Oversight
Committee. Board Standing Committees will continue to review all nominations for appointments to
At-Large seats and may conduct interviews for At-Large appointments to any advisory body at the
Standing Committee's discretion.
3. List of Applicable Advisory Bodies: The list of applicable bodies has been changed to reflect
bodies that have been newly created and discontinued since the adoption of Resolution No. 2011/497.
4. Enhanced Section on Ethics: Resolution No. 2020/1 references existing board policies around
ethics and conflict of interest to improve understanding, awareness, and enforcement.
5. Online Maddy Book Posting : The Board Appointive List or "Maddy Book" (in reference to the
original sponsoring Senator, Kenneth L. Maddy) will be posted online, as provided for in California's
Local Government Omnibus Act of 2017, in addition to a public viewing copy on display at the Clerk of
the Board office.
On October 21, 2019, the IOC approved the changes to Resolution No. 2011/497 in its entirety, and
recommended that the updated resolution (Resolution No. 2020/1) be adopted by the Board of
Supervisors. Additional legislative history and justification can be found in the IOC Subcommittee
Report published October 21, 2019. Attached to this action, and included as Exhibit A to Resolution No.
2020/1, is a list of applicable bodies, and a redline demonstrating the changes made to Resolution No.

I. APPLICATION
A. The advisory bodies to which this Resolution applies are listed on Exhibit A, “Advisory Bodies” attached hereto.
II. LOCAL APPOINTMENTS LIST
A. In accordance with the Maddy Local Appointive List Act of 1975 (Government Code Section 54970 et seq.), the Board of

list of all regular and ongoing advisory bodies that have members appointed by the Board.
1. The Local Appointments List will be made available at the following locations: a) in a conspicuous place at the Office of the
Clerk of the Board; and b) on the Contra Costa County website.
2. The Local Appointments List will include a) a list of all appointive terms that will expire during the next calendar year; b) a list

expires, if any.
III. APPOINTMENT PROCEDURE
A. The Board makes appointments to two distinct types of seats on its advisory bodies. The following process will be followed
for appointments to these two types of seats:
Type 1: Supervisorial District Appointments Applications may be delivered to either the Clerk of the Board or to the District
Supervisor’s office. Applications received by a Supervisor’s office are to be sent to the Clerk of the Board, and a copy is to be
retained by the Supervisor’s office. The Clerk of the Board will ensure that the Supervisor has a copy of all applications
retained by the Supervisor’s office. The Clerk of the Board will ensure that the Supervisor has a copy of all applications
originally filed with the Clerk of the Board.
Type 2: At Large/Countywide Appointments Applications are sent to the Clerk of the Board. The Clerk of the Board will
distribute the applications to the appropriate interviewer. With the exception of the Planning Commission and the Treasury
Oversight Committee, bodies may generally conduct their own interviews of applicants, unless provided direction by a Board
Committee. When an advisory body conducts interviews, the body’s recommendation will be provided to a Board Committee for
further review, along with all applications received for the applicable seat. In all cases, the Board Committee decides which
applicants to nominate for full Board action.
B. A Board Committee or an individual Supervisor may select a screening committee to assist in interviewing applicants for
appointment. Membership subcommittees of Board advisory bodies may serve this purpose.
C. The Board shall strive to maintain an ethnic, economic, and geographic balance to the membership of advisory bodies.
D. Except where federal, State, or County statutes or regulations dictate otherwise, or in exceptional circumstances, the following
applicants generally should not be appointed: 1. An applicant who has a family member already serving on the same advisory
body. 2. An applicant who would be repeatedly required to recuse himself from the body’s business due to a conflict of interest.
E. Except for county officers and employees serving in an official capacity, all advisory body members shall have specific terms
of appointment as prescribed by statute or as fixed by the Board. Unless otherwise specified, appointees shall serve four-year
terms, and terms should be staggered to limit the number of scheduled vacancies at any one time.
F. All Board appointees to advisory bodies serve at the pleasure of the Board and may be removed during their terms of office
by a majority vote of the Board at its pleasure, provided that such action is consistent with conditions imposed by law.
G. An unscheduled vacancy occurs when an appointee leaves or becomes ineligible for his/her seat before his/her term expires.
Unscheduled vacancies in seats on advisory bodies which are appointed by the Board will be listed on the Board’s agenda within
20 days after the vacancy occurs. The Board will declare the positions vacant and instruct the Clerk of the Board to post the
unscheduled vacancies. The Clerk of the Board will create and post the unscheduled vacancy notice within one business day of
being instructed to do so by the Board. The notice will be posted at the following locations: 1) in a conspicuous location at the
Office of the Clerk of the Board; and 2) on the Contra Costa County website. Additional outreach may be implemented by the
Supervisorial District offices, and/or the advisory body. Pursuant to Government Code §54974(a), the Board will not make a final
appointment for a minimum of ten working days after the Clerk has posted the unscheduled vacancy notice. If the Board finds an
emergency exists, it may fill the unscheduled vacancy immediately, but the appointee will only serve on an acting basis until the
final appointment is made.
IV. FORMATION AND DISSOLUTION OF ADVISORY BODIES
A. The Board of Supervisors may form an advisory body for the purpose of rendering advice or recommendations to the Board
on issues of importance. The Board of Supervisors may dissolve an advisory body at the Board’s discretion, consistent with
conditions imposed by law. Commencing July 1, 2012, each advisory body shall be reviewed at least once every three years
pursuant to a procedure established by the Board in Resolution 2012/261 or its successor.
B. When the Board creates an advisory body, the Board may determine whether or not the body should adopt a conflict of
interest code.
V. RESPONSIBILITIES OF ADVISORY BODIES
A. Each advisory body:
1. Shall operate within its mandate as defined in the Board Order, Resolution, or Ordinance creating the body and any applicable
law, and may establish specifically defined objectives consistent with its mandate.
2. Shall elect a chairperson and notify the Clerk of the Board of said selection.
3. Shall establish regularly scheduled meeting times and inform the Clerk of the Board of such schedule.
4. Subject to limitations resulting from statutory requirements, may adopt a set of operating rules (bylaws) addressing attendance
requirements for continuing membership, the election of officers, and the establishment of subcommittees composed solely of
current members of the advisory body. The operating rules (bylaws) shall not be operative until they have been approved by the
Board of Supervisors.
5. Shall maintain necessary records including agendas and meeting minutes (records of action) and ensure that these documents
are made available to the public upon request.
6. Shall comply with by the Ralph M. Brown Act (Gov. Code, §54950, et. Seq.) and the County’s Better Government Ordinance
(County Ordinance Code Division 25).
7. Shall post meeting agendas on the County’s webpage, in addition to the physical posting requirements specified in the Brown
Act and Better Government Ordinance, at least 96 hours ahead of any regular meeting, beginning on March 2, 2020.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
ADOPT Resolution No. 2020/2 to amend policies for making appointments to independent bodies not
governed by the Board of Supervisors, and to supersede Resolution No. 2011/498.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No direct fiscal impact is associated with this action.
BACKGROUND:
The Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 2011/498, to update the policy governing procedures for
making appointments to independent bodies not governed by the Board of Supervisors. Resolution Nos.
2011/498 and its companion 2011/497 superseded Resolution No. 2002/377.
Along with Resolution No. 2011/497, these resolutions provide guidance for various key policies for
advisory and independent bodies, including the interview and appointments process. In contrast to the
policies that apply to advisory bodies governed by the Board of Supervisors, the Board applied a narrower
set of policies to the independent bodies covered in Resolution No. 2011/498, and the updated Resolution
No. 2020/2.

Subject:Advisory Boards & Commissions of Independent Bodies to Which the County Makes Appointments
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Since adoption more than eight years ago, there have been changes in County policy that have affected
lists of applicable bodies in both Resolution No. 2011/498, and in a variety of County policies that
pertain to the appointments process to these bodies.
Recommended Changes to the Resolution for Independent Bodies include:
1. List of Applicable Advisory Bodies : The list of applicable bodies has been changed to reflect
bodies that have been newly created and discontinued since the adoption of Resolution No. 2011/498.
2. Online Maddy Book Posting: The Board Appointive List or "Maddy Book" (in reference to the
original sponsoring Senator, Kenneth L. Maddy) will be posted online, as provided for in California's
Local Government Omnibus Act of 2017, in addition to a public viewing copy on display at the Clerk of
the Board's office.
3. At-Large Appointments Process: A Board Standing Committee will generally conduct
interviews for At-Large appointments to independent decision making bodies and advisory committees
to independent bodies, or may delegate this activity to the bodies, which will then make nominations to a
Board Standing Committee. Board Standing Committees will continue to provide all recommendations
for Board appointments to At-Large seats to these bodies.
On October 21, 2019, the Internal Operations Committee (IOC) approved changes to the resolution for
full consideration by the Board of Supervisors. Resolution No. 2020/1 supersedes Resolution No.
2011/497 in its entirety.
This Resolution addresses the proposed policy governing appointments to, formation of, and
requirements for, boards, committees, and commissions that are advisory to the Board of Supervisors.
On October 21, 2019, the IOC approved the changes to Resolution No. 2011/498 in its entirety, and
recommended that the updated resolution (Resolution No. 2020/2) be adopted by the Board of
Supervisors. Additional legislative history and justification can be found in the IOC Subcommittee
Report published October 21, 2019. Attached to this action, and included as Exhibit A to Resolution No.
2020/2, is a list of applicable independent bodies, and a redline demonstrating the changes made to
Resolution No. 2011/498 by Resolution No. 2020/2.

IN THE MATTER OF ADOPTING POLICY GOVERNING APPOINTMENTS TO INDEPENDENT BOARDS,
COMMITTEES, AND COMMISSIONS, AND SPECIAL DISTRICTS
WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors makes appointments to independent bodies not governed by the Board of Supervisors; and
WHEREAS the Board of Supervisors wishes to encourage participation of interested citizens in decisions affecting residents of
this County;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the following procedures governing appointments to independent special districts,
boards, commissions, and committees that are not governed by the Board of Supervisors (hereafter collectively referred to as
“independent bodies”) are adopted:
I. APPLICATION A. The independent bodies to which this Resolution applies are listed on Exhibit A, "Independent and
Quasi-Independent Bodies" attached hereto.
II. LOCAL APPOINTMENTS LIST A. In accordance with the Maddy Local Appointive List Act of 1975 (Government Code
section 54970 et seq.), the Board of Supervisors (hereafter "Board") will include in the Local Appointments List prepared by
December 31st of each year, a list of all regular and ongoing independent bodies that have members appointed by the Board.
1. The Local Appointments List will be made available at the following locations: a) in a conspicuous place at the Office of the
Clerk of the Board; and b) on the Contra Costa County website.
2. The Local Appointments List will include a) a list of all appointive terms that will expire during the next calendar year; b) a list
of all boards, commissions and committees whose members serve at the pleasure of the Board; c) the name of the incumbent, if
any; d) the date of appointment for each filled seat; e) the necessary qualifications for service in each seat; f) the date on which
the term for the seat expires, if any.
III. APPOINTMENT PROCEDURE A. The Board makes appointments to two distinct types of seats on independent bodies,
Supervisorial District Seats and At Large/ Countywide Seats. The following process will be followed for appointments to these
two types of seats:
Type 1: Supervisorial District Seats Applications may be delivered to either the Clerk of the Board or to the District Supervisor's
office. Applications received by a Supervisor's office are to be sent to the Clerk of the Board, and a copy is to be retained by the
Supervisor’s office. The Clerk of the Board will ensure that the Supervisor has a copy of all applications originally filed with the
Clerk of the Board.
Type 2: At Large/Countywide Seats Applications are sent to the Clerk of the Board. The Clerk of the Board will distribute the
applications to the appropriate interviewer. When an independent body conducts interviews, the body’s recommendation will be
provided to a Board Committee for further review. In all cases, the Board Committee decides which applicants to nominate for
full Board action.
A Board Committee or an individual Supervisor may select a screening committee to assist in interviewing the applicants for
appointment. A membership subcommittee of an independent body may serve this purpose.
B. An unscheduled vacancy occurs when an appointee leaves or becomes ineligible for his/her seat before his/her term expires.
Unscheduled vacancies in seats on independent bodies which are appointed by the Board will be listed on the Board’s agenda
within 20 days after the vacancy occurs. The Board will declare the positions vacant and instruct the Clerk of the Board to post
the unscheduled vacancies. The Clerk of the Board will create and post the unscheduled vacancy notice within one business day
of being instructed to do so by the Board. The notice will be placed at the following locations: 1) in a conspicuous place at the
Office of the Clerk of the Board; and 2) on the Contra Costa County website. Additional outreach may be implemented by the
Supervisorial District offices and/or the independent body. Pursuant to Government Code §54974(a), the Board will not make a
final appointment for a minimum of ten working days after the Clerk has posted the unscheduled vacancy notice. If the Board
finds an emergency exists, it may fill the unscheduled vacancy immediately, but the appointee will only serve on an acting basis
until the final appointment is made.
C. Except where federal, State, or County statutes or regulations dictate otherwise, or in exceptional circumstances, the following
applicants generally should not be appointed:
1. An applicant who has a family member already serving on the same independent body; 2. An applicant who would be
repeatedly required to recuse himself from the body's business due to a conflict of interest. 3. An applicant with any of the
conflicts of interest listed in Resolution 2011/55.
D. Board of Supervisors representatives on independent bodies serve at the pleasure of the Board and may be removed during
their terms of office by a majority vote of the Board at its pleasure, provided such action is consistent with conditions imposed by
law.
IV. This Resolution supersedes Resolution 2011/498 in its entirety.

use by the County to provide supportive housing and support services for qualifying individuals. The
parties intend to determine if it is feasible to undertake the rehabilitation of the building, the construction of
55-60 studio apartments and certain other rooms in the building, the restriping of the parking lot, and
replanting and irrigating the landscape on the property. If the rehabilitation project is feasible, the parties
would then endeavor to negotiate a lease or a lease-purchase agreement under which the County would
acquire the use of the property.
During the term of the exclusive negotiating agreement, the parties will perform due diligence. As part of
the due diligence, the parties will work together to identify multiple lease, or lease-purchase, structures to
present to the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors for consideration. The different structures will
reflect the effect of the County having the use of the property over varying lengths of time. Once a
feasibility determination is made and the structure of the transaction is determined, the parties will
negotiate the final terms of a lease or lease-purchase agreement.
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Grant Funds
The Health Services Department has received a grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development in an amount not to exceed $966,573. The grant is expected to be renewed annually. If the
project is determined to be feasible, Health Services intends to allocate the grant proceeds to the Contra
Costa County Continuum of Care Program to provide permanent supportive housing and support services
for High Utilizers of Multiple Systems individuals.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The ability of the Contra Costa County Continuum of Care Program to provide permanent supportive
housing and support services for High Utilizers of Multiple Systems individuals could be delayed.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
ADOPT Resolution No. 2020/6, approving a side letter between Contra Costa County and the Deputy
Sheriffs Association (DSA), Rank and File Unit, to provide for a Sheriff Dispatcher I and II hiring
incentive.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Dispatch employees will be eligible for a one-time payment of $3,000. The Office of the Sheriff anticipates
approximately 10 lump sum payments each year.
BACKGROUND:
Over the past three years, the Sheriff's Department has hired 29 Dispatcher I’s to fill vacancies. As of
August 26, 2019, only nine of these Dispatcher I’s have completed the year-long training program. Three
of the individuals that passed the training program have since sought employment at other Communication
Centers. The Communication Center has 50 positions and currently nine unfilled Dispatcher and
Supervisors positions. Currently ten Dispatcher I’s are in the training program, however they cannot be
used towards available headcount to cover available shifts for approximately one year. Due to these staffing
issues, Dispatchers II’s have been required to work a cumulative total of approximately 1,100 to 1,300

4. APPROVE the form of, and authorize the County to execute, the Regulatory Agreement and
Declaration of Restrictive Covenants between the County and Borrower.
5. AUTHORIZE the delivery of the Note by the County to the Funding Lender as the initial purchaser of
the Note.

8. AUTHORIZE and DIRECT the Designated Officers of the County, as defined in Resolution No.
2020/8, to do any and all things and take any all actions, and execute and deliver any and all certificates,
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 Note, 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 Note. The Note 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 repayment of the Note.
BACKGROUND:
The recommended action is the adoption of Resolution 2020/8 by the Board of Supervisors, as the
legislative body of the County, authorizing the issuance of a multifamily housing revenue note, the
proceeds of which will be used to finance the acquisition and rehabilitation of Hidden Cove, an 88-unit
residential housing development located at 2900, 2901, 2911 and 2921-2931 Mary Ann Lane in Bay
Point (the “Development”). The ownership entity for the development is Hidden Cove Apartments, LP
(the "Borrower"), a California limited partnership that consists of an entity related to the Foundation for
Affordable Housing as the managing general partner and CREA as the tax credit equity investor. On
July 9, 2019, the Board of Supervisors approved the transfer of ownership of Hidden Cove Apartments
to the Borrower (Resolution No. 2019/469).
Conservation and Development staff held a noticed public hearing on July 29, 2019 to permit interested
parties to comment on the proposed financing and the Development. No comments were received from
the public. The Board adopted Resolution No. 2019/508 on August 6, 2019 to authorize proceeding with
the issuance of the Note for the Development pursuant to Section 147(f) of the Internal Revenue Code
and the submittal of an application by the County for tax-exempt private activity bond authority from the
California Debt Limit Allocation Committee. On October 16, 2019, the California Debt Limit
Allocation Committee awarded the County authority to issue the Note in a maximum principal amount
of $16,350,000 through its Resolution No. 19-134.
The structure of the financing will be one note (the term “note” is interchangeable with “bond” as they
both evidence a borrowing). The County of Contra Costa, California Multifamily Housing Revenue
Note (Hidden Cove Apartments) Series 2020 A (the “Note”) will be purchased by Capital One National
Association (the “Funding Lender”) and the proceeds of the sale will be loaned by the County to the
Borrower to finance the acquisition and rehabilitation of the Development. The loan will be assigned to
Freddie Mac. In addition to the proceeds of the Note, the Development will be funded with low income
housing tax credits. The transaction is expected to close on or about January 31, 2020.
The Development will be one hundred percent affordable with eighteen units affordable to households
earning at or below 50% area median income and 69 units at or below 60% area median income plus one
managers unit. A new Regulatory Agreement governing these affordability restrictions will be recorded
against the property and the current Regulatory Agreement (entered in 2003) will be terminated. The
County approved the original development of the project on February 11, 1986.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Negative action would prevent the County from issuing the Multifamily Housing Revenue Note in order
to provide a loan to Hidden Cove Apartments, LP to finance the acquisition and rehabilitation of Hidden
Cove Apartments.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
The recommendation supports one or more of the following children's outcomes:
(1) Children Ready for and Succeeding in School;
(2) Children and Youth Healthy and Preparing for Productive Adulthood;
(3) Families that are Economically Self Sufficient;
(4) Families that are Safe, Stable and Nurturing; and
(5) Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families.

the Requisition by the Servicer). The Fiscal Agent shall have no right or duty to determine
whether any requested disbursement from the Project Loan Fund complies with the terms,
conditions and provisions of the Continuing Covenant Agreement. The countersignature of the
Authorized Officer of the Servicer on a Requisition shall be deemed a certification and, insofar as
the Fiscal Agent and the Governmental Lender are concerned, constitute conclusive evidence,
that all of the terms, conditions and requirements of the Continuing Covenant Agreement
applicable to such disbursement have been fully satisfied or waived. The Fiscal Agent shall,
immediately upon each receipt of a completed Requisition signed by an Authorized Officer of the
Borrower and countersigned by an Authorized Officer of the Servicer, initiate procedures with
the provider of a Qualified Investment to make withdrawals as necessary to fund the Requisition.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no signature of an

default has been given in writing by the Funding Lender Representative or the Servicer to the
Fiscal Agent and the Governmental Lender, and the Fiscal Agent shall be entitled to conclusively
rely on any such written notice as to the occurrence and continuation of such a default).

countersigned by an Authorized Officer of the Servicer or (as permitted hereunder) solely by an
Authorized Officer of the Servicer, is received by the Fiscal Agent, the requested disbursement

Business Days following receipt thereof by the Fiscal Agent. Upon final disbursement of all
amounts on deposit in the Project Loan Fund, including all interest accrued therein, the Fiscal
Agent shall close the Project Loan Fund.
(e) Immediately prior to any mandatory prepayment of the Funding Loan pursuant
to Section 3.01(b)(i) hereof, any amount then remaining in the Project Loan Fund shall, at the
written direction of the Funding Lender Representative, be transferred to the Loan Prepayment
Fund to pay amounts due on the Funding Loan, if any. In addition, any amount remaining in the
Project Account of the Project Loan Fund following completion of the rehabilitation of the Project
in accordance with the Continuing Covenant Agreement, evidenced by an instrument signed by
the Funding Lender Representative or the Servicer, shall be transferred to the Loan Prepayment
Fund and used to prepay the Funding Loan in accordance with Section 3.01(b)(ii) hereof, unless
the Fiscal Agent receives an opinion of Bond Counsel (which shall also be addressed to the
Funding Lender Representative) to the effect that a use of such money for other than prepayment
of the Funding Loan will not adversely affect the tax exempt status of the interest on the
Governmental Note; provided, that any amounts in the Project Account of the Project Loan Fund
in excess of the amount needed to fund the related prepayment of the Funding Loan shall be
transferred to the Rebate Fund. In the event there are funds remaining in the Borrower Equity
Account following completion of the rehabilitation of the Project in accordance with the

defined in the Continuing Covenant Agreement)] have been satisfied, evidenced by an
instrument signed by the Funding Lender Representative, and provided no default by the
Borrower exists under this Funding Loan Agreement or any Project Loan Document, such funds
shall be paid by the Fiscal Agent to the Borrower at the written direction of the Funding Lender
Representative or the Servicer.
(f) Amounts on deposit in the Project Loan Fund shall be invested as provided in
Section 4.08 hereof. All Investment Income on amounts on deposit in the Project Loan Fund shall
be retained in and credited to and become a part of the amounts on deposit in the respective
-21-
account within the Project Loan Fund from which the funds were invested, and shall constitute
part of any transfers required by subsection (b) or (e) of this Section 4.02.
Section 4.03 Application of Revenues.
(a) All Revenues received by the Fiscal Agent shall be deposited by the Fiscal Agent,
promptly upon receipt thereof, to the Revenue Fund, except (i) the proceeds of the Funding Loan
received by the Fiscal Agent on the Delivery Date, which shall be applied in accordance with the
provisions of Section 2.11 hereof; (ii) as otherwise specifically provided in subsection (c) of this
Section 4.03 with respect to certain deposits into the Loan Prepayment Fund; (iii) with respect to

trust funds for the purposes hereof. Any money attributable to each of the funds and accounts
hereunder shall be, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, invested by the Fiscal Agent,
at the written direction of the Borrower (or, in the case of the Rebate Fund, as provided in Section
5.07(b)), in Qualified Investments which mature or shall be subject to prepayment or withdrawal
at par without penalty on or prior to the earlier of (i) six months from the date of investment and
(ii) the date such money is needed; provided, that if the Fiscal Agent shall have entered into any
investment agreement requiring investment of money in any fund or account hereunder in
accordance with such investment agreement and if such investment agreement constitutes a
Qualified Investment, such money shall be invested in accordance with such requirements. In
the absence of written direction from the Borrower, the Fiscal Agent shall invest amounts on
deposit in the funds and accounts established under this Funding Loan Agreement in
Government Obligations or in investments of the type described in subparagraph (g) of the
definition of Qualified Investments which shall have the same maturity and other restrictions as
set forth above. Such investments may be made through the investment or securities department
of the Fiscal Agent. The Fiscal Agent may purchase from or sell to itself or an affiliate, as principal
or agent, securities herein authorized. The Fiscal Agent shall be entitled to assume, absent receipt
by the Fiscal Agent of written notice to the contrary, that any investment which at the time of
purchase is a Qualified Investment remains a Qualified Investment thereafter.
Qualified Investments representing an investment of money attributable to any fund or
account shall be deemed at all times to be a part of said fund or account, and, except as otherwise
may be provided expressly in other Sections hereof, the interest thereon and any profit arising on
the sale thereof shall be credited to the Revenue Fund, and any loss resulting on the sale thereof
shall be charged against the Revenue Fund. Such investments shall be sold at the best price
obtainable (at least par) whenever it shall be necessary so to do in order to provide money to
make any transfer, withdrawal, payment or disbursement from said fund or account. In the case
of any required transfer of money to another such fund or account, such investments may be
transferred to that fund or account in lieu of the required money if permitted hereby as an
investment of money in that fund or account. The Fiscal Agent shall not be liable or responsible
for any loss resulting from any investment made in accordance herewith.
The Governmental Lender acknowledges that to the extent that regulations of the
Comptroller of the Currency or other applicable regulatory agency grant the Governmental
Lender the right to receive brokerage confirmations of the security transactions as they occur, to
the extent permitted by law, the Governmental Lender specifically waives compliance with 12
C.F.R. 12 and hereby notifies the Fiscal Agent hereunder, that no brokerage confirmations need
be sent relating to the security transactions as they occur.
In computing for any purpose hereunder the amount in any fund or account on any date,
obligations so purchased shall be valued at Fair Market Value.

full payment of the fees, charges and expenses of the Governmental Lender, the Fiscal Agent, the
Rebate Analyst, the Funding Lender and the Servicer and other amounts required to be paid
hereunder or under any Project Loan Document, including, but not limited to, the Continuing
Covenant Agreement (as certified in writing to the Fiscal Agent by the Governmental Lender
with respect to amounts due to the Governmental Lender and by the Funding Lender
Representative or the Servicer on its behalf with respect to amounts owed under the Continuing
Covenant Agreement and by the Rebate Analyst with respect to amounts due to the Rebate
Analyst), any amounts remaining in any fund or account hereunder other than the Rebate Fund
shall be paid to the Borrower.
Section 4.12 Rebate Fund; Compliance with Tax Certificate. The Rebate Fund shall be
established by the Fiscal Agent and held and applied as provided in this Section 4.12. On any
date on which any amounts are required by applicable federal tax law to be rebated to the federal
government, amounts shall be deposited into the Rebate Fund by the Borrower for such purpose.
All money at any time deposited in the Rebate Fund shall be held by the Fiscal Agent in trust, to
the extent required to satisfy the rebate requirement (as set forth in the Tax Certificate) and as
calculated by the Rebate Analyst, for payment to the government of the United States of America,
and none of the Governmental Lender, the Borrower or the Funding Lender shall have any rights
in or claim to such money. All amounts deposited into or on deposit in the Rebate Fund shall be
governed by this Section 4.12 and by the Tax Certificate. The Fiscal Agent shall conclusively be
deemed to have complied with such provisions if it follows the written instructions of the
Governmental Lender, Bond Counsel or the Rebate Analyst, including supplying all necessary
information in the manner set forth in the Tax Certificate, and shall not be required to take any
actions under the Tax Certificate in the absence of written instructions from the Governmental
Lender, Bond Counsel or the Rebate Analyst.
Within 55 days of the end of each fifth Rebate Year, the Borrower shall cause the Rebate
Analyst to calculate the amount of rebatable arbitrage, in accordance with Section 148(f)(2) of the
Code and Section 1.148 3 of the Treasury Regulations (taking into account any exceptions with
respect to the computation of the rebatable arbitrage, described, if applicable, in the Tax
Certificate (e.g., the temporary investments exceptions of Section 148(f)(4)(B) and (C) of the
Code)), for this purpose treating the last day of the applicable Rebate Year as a (computation)
date, within the meaning of Section 1.148 1(b) of the Treasury Regulations (the “Rebatable
Arbitrage”). Pursuant to Section 2.04 of the Project Loan Agreement, the Borrower shall cause
the Rebate Analyst to provide such calculations to the Fiscal Agent and the Governmental Lender.
In the event that the Borrower fails to provide such information to the Fiscal Agent and the
Governmental Lender within 55 days of the end of each fifth Rebate Year, the Fiscal Agent, at the
expense of the Borrower, shall select the Rebate Analyst, with the prior written approval of the
Governmental Lender, and shall cause the Rebate Analyst to calculate the amount of rebatable
arbitrage as required herein.
Within 55 days of the end of each fifth Rebate Year, upon the written direction of the
Governmental Lender, Bond Counsel or the Rebate Analyst, an amount shall be deposited to the
Rebate Fund by the Fiscal Agent from amounts provided by the Borrower, if and to the extent
-25-
required so that the balance in the Rebate Fund shall equal the amount of Rebatable Arbitrage so
calculated in accordance with the preceding paragraph.
The Fiscal Agent shall pay, as directed by the Rebate Analyst, to the United States
Department of the Treasury, out of amounts in the Rebate Fund:
(i) Not later than 60 days after the end of (A) the fifth Rebate Year, and (B)
each applicable fifth Rebate Year thereafter, an amount equal to at least 90% of the
Rebatable Arbitrage calculated as of the end of such Rebate Year; and
(ii) Not later than 60 days after the payment in whole of the Funding Loan, an
amount equal to 100% of the Rebatable Arbitrage calculated as of the end of such
applicable Rebate Year, and any income attributable to the Rebatable Arbitrage, computed
in accordance with Section 148(f) of the Code.
Each payment required to be made under this Section shall be made to the Internal
Revenue Service Center, Ogden, Utah 84201 (or such other address provided in such direction),
on or before the date on which such payment is due, and shall be accompanied by Internal
Revenue Service Form 8038 T, which shall be prepared by the Rebate Analyst and provided to
the Fiscal Agent.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Funding Loan Agreement to the contrary, the
obligation to remit payment of the Rebatable Arbitrage to the United States of America and to
comply with all other requirements of Sections 2.04 and 4.03 of the Project Loan Agreement and
this Section 4.12, and the requirements of the Tax Certificate shall survive the defeasance or
payment in full of the Funding Loan.
Any funds remaining in the Rebate Fund after payment in full of the Funding Loan and
payment and satisfaction of any Rebate Requirement, or provision made therefor satisfactory to
the Fiscal Agent, shall be withdrawn and remitted to the Borrower.
The Fiscal Agent shall obtain and keep such records of the computations made pursuant
to this Section 4.12 as are required under Section 148(f) of the Code to the extent furnished to the
Fiscal Agent. The Borrower shall or shall cause the Rebate Analyst to provide to the
Governmental Lender and the Fiscal Agent copies of all rebate computations made pursuant to
this Section 4.12. The Fiscal Agent shall keep and make available to the Borrower such records
concerning the investments of the gross proceeds of the Funding Loan and the investments of
earnings from those investments made by the Fiscal Agent as may be requested by the Borrower
in order to enable the Borrower to cause the Rebate Analyst to make the aforesaid computations
as are required under Section 148(f) of the Code.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the computations and payments of Rebatable Arbitrage
need not be made to the extent that neither the Governmental Lender nor the Borrower will
thereby fail to comply with any requirements of Section 148(f) of the Code based on an opinion
of Bond Counsel, to the effect that such failure will not adversely affect the exclusion from gross
income for federal income tax purposes of interest on the Governmental Note, a copy of which
shall be provided to the Fiscal Agent and the Funding Lender Representative, at the expense of
the Borrower.
Section 4.13 Cost of Issuance Fund. The Fiscal Agent shall use money on deposit to the
credit of the Cost of Issuance Fund to pay the costs of issuance on the Delivery Date or as soon as
practicable thereafter in accordance with one or more Requisitions in the form of Exhibit D to be
given to the Fiscal Agent by the Borrower on the Delivery Date, along with appropriate invoices
-26-
for such expenses. Amounts in the Cost of Issuance Fund funded with proceeds of the Funding
Loan, if any, shall be expended prior to the application of the Costs of Issuance Deposit.
Investment Income on amounts on deposit in the Cost of Issuance Fund shall be retained in such
fund. Amounts remaining on deposit in the Cost of Issuance Fund six (6) months after the
Delivery Date shall be transferred to the Borrower. Upon such final disbursement, the Fiscal
Agent shall close the Cost of Issuance Fund.
Section 4.14 Reports From the Fiscal Agent. The Fiscal Agent shall, on or before the
fifteenth (15th) day of each month, file with the Funding Lender Representative, the Servicer, the
Governmental Lender (at its written request) and the Borrower a statement setting forth in respect
of the preceding calendar month:
(i) the amount withdrawn or transferred by it, and the amount deposited
within or on account of each fund and account held by it under the provisions of this
Funding Loan Agreement, including the amount of investment income on each fund and
account;

fund and account;
(iii) a brief description of all obligations held by it as an investment of money
in each such fund and account; and

Governmental Lender may reasonably request and to which the Fiscal Agent has access
in the ordinary course of its operations.
Upon the written request of the Funding Lender, the Fiscal Agent, at the cost of the
Borrower, shall provide a copy of such statement to Funding Lender. All records and files
pertaining to the Pledged Security shall be open at all reasonable times to the inspection of the
Governmental Lender and the Funding Lender Representative or the Servicer and their agents
and representatives upon reasonable prior notice during normal business hours.

In furtherance of the covenants in this Section 5.07, the Governmental Lender and the
Borrower shall execute, deliver and comply with the provisions of the Tax Certificate, which is

money on deposit to the credit of any such fund or account). The Fiscal Agent covenants to and
for the benefit of the Funding Lender that, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Funding
Loan Agreement or of any other Financing Document, it will not knowingly make or cause to be
made any investment or other use of the money in the funds or accounts created hereunder which
would cause the Governmental Note to be classified as an “arbitrage bond” within the meaning

be includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes; provided that the Fiscal Agent
shall be deemed to have complied with such requirements and shall have no liability to the extent
it reasonably follows the written directions of the Borrower, the Governmental Lender, the

Counsel or the Rebate Analyst. The Fiscal Agent further covenants that should the Governmental
Lender or the Borrower file with the Fiscal Agent (it being understood that neither the
Governmental Lender nor the Borrower has an obligation to so file), or should the Fiscal Agent
receive, an opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that any proposed investment or other use of
proceeds of the Funding Loan would cause the Governmental Note to become an “arbitrage
bond,” then the Fiscal Agent will comply with any written instructions of the Governmental
Lender, the Borrower, the Funding Lender Representative or Bond Counsel regarding such
investment (which shall, in any event, be a Qualified Investment) or use so as to prevent the
Governmental Note from becoming an “arbitrage bond,” and the Fiscal Agent will bear no
liability to the Governmental Lender, the Borrower, the Funding Lender or the Funding Lender
Representative for investments made in accordance with such instructions.
Section 5.08 Representations and Warranties of the Governmental Lender. The

(c) The Revenues and Pledged Security are and will be free and clear of any
pledge, lien or encumbrance prior to, or equal with, the pledge created by this Funding

taken by the Funding Lender to that end has been duly and validly taken.
(d) This Funding Loan Agreement, the Project Loan Agreement, the Tax
Regulatory Agreement, the Assignment and the endorsement to the Project Note have
been validly authorized, executed and delivered by the Governmental Lender, and

the Governmental Lender in accordance with their respective terms, except as
enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or other laws
affecting creditors’ rights generally and the application of equitable principles.
THE GOVERNMENTAL LENDER MAKES NO REPRESENTATION, COVENANT OR
AGREEMENT AS TO THE FINANCIAL POSITION OR BUSINESS CONDITION OF THE
BORROWER OR THE PROJECT, AND DOES NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT AS TO ANY
STATEMENTS, MATERIALS, REPRESENTATIONS OR CERTIFICATIONS FURNISHED BY
THE BORROWER IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROJECT LOAN OR AS TO THE
CORRECTNESS, COMPLETENESS OR ACCURACY THEREOF.

occurrence of an Event of Default or obtains actual knowledge of the occurrence of an event which
would become an Event of Default with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both.
Section 6.02 Acceleration; Other Remedies Upon Event of Default.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Fiscal Agent shall, upon the written
request of the Funding Lender Representative, by notice in writing delivered to the Governmental
Lender, declare the principal of the Funding Loan and the interest accrued thereon immediately

At any time after the Funding Loan shall have been so declared due and payable, and
before any judgment or decree for the payment of the money due shall have been obtained or
entered, the Fiscal Agent may, but only if directed in writing by the Funding Lender
Representative, by written notice to the Governmental Lender and the Fiscal Agent, rescind and
annul such declaration and its consequences if the Governmental Lender or the Borrower shall
pay to or deposit with the Fiscal Agent a sum sufficient to pay all principal on the Funding Loan
then due (other than solely by reason of such declaration) and all unpaid installments of interest
(if any) on the Funding Loan then due, with interest at the rate borne by the Funding Loan on
such overdue principal and (to the extent legally enforceable) on such overdue installments of
interest, and the reasonable fees and expenses of the Fiscal Agent (including its counsel) shall
have been made good or cured or adequate provision shall have been made therefor, and all
outstanding amounts then due and unpaid under the Financing Documents (collectively, the
“Cure Amount”) shall have been paid in full, and all other defaults hereunder shall have been
made good or cured or waived in writing by the Funding Lender Representative; but no such
rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default, nor shall it impair
or exhaust any right or power consequent thereon.
Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Fiscal Agent
in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, on behalf and for the benefit and protection of
the Funding Lender, may also proceed to protect and enforce any rights of the Fiscal Agent and,
to the full extent that the Funding Lender itself might do, the rights of the Funding Lender under
the laws of the State or under this Funding Loan Agreement by such of the following remedies
as the Fiscal Agent shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce such rights; provided that,
the Fiscal Agent may undertake any such remedy only upon the receipt of the prior written
consent of the Funding Lender Representative (which consent may be given in the sole discretion
of the Funding Lender Representative):
(i) by mandamus or other suit, action or proceeding at law or in equity, to
enforce the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Funding Loan
and to require the Governmental Lender to carry out any covenants or agreements with
or for the benefit of the Funding Lender and to perform its duties under the Act, this
Funding Loan Agreement, the Project Loan Agreement or the Tax Regulatory Agreement
(as applicable) to the extent permitted under the applicable provisions thereof;
(ii) by pursuing any available remedies under the Project Loan Agreement, the
Tax Regulatory Agreement or any other Financing Document;
(iii) by realizing or causing to be realized through sale or otherwise upon the
security pledged hereunder; and
-32-
(iv) by action or suit in equity enjoin any acts or things that may be unlawful
or in violation of the rights of the Funding Lender and execute any other papers and
documents and do and perform any and all such acts and things as may be necessary or
advisable in the opinion of the Fiscal Agent in order to have the claim of the Funding
Lender against the Governmental Lender allowed in any bankruptcy or other proceeding.
No remedy by the terms of this Funding Loan Agreement conferred upon or reserved to
the Fiscal Agent or to the Funding Lender is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, but
each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to any other remedy
given to the Fiscal Agent or the Funding Lender hereunder or under the Project Loan Agreement,
the Tax Regulatory Agreement, the Continuing Covenant Agreement or any other Financing
Document, as applicable, 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 Event of Default shall impair any
such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Event of Default or
acquiescence therein, and every such right and power may be exercised from time to time and as
often as may be deemed expedient. No waiver of any Event of Default hereunder, whether by
the Fiscal Agent or the Funding Lender, shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default or
event of default or shall impair any rights or remedies consequent thereto.
Section 6.03 Funding Lender Representative Control of Proceedings. If an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the
Funding Lender Representative shall have the sole and exclusive right at any time to direct the
time, method and place of conducting all proceedings to be taken in connection with the
enforcement of the terms and conditions of this Funding Loan Agreement, or for the appointment
of a receiver or any other proceedings hereunder, in accordance with the provisions of law and
of this Funding Loan Agreement. In addition, the Funding Lender Representative shall have the
sole and exclusive right at any time to directly enforce all rights and remedies hereunder and
under the other Financing Documents with or without the involvement of the Fiscal Agent or the
Governmental Lender (and in connection therewith the Fiscal Agent shall transfer or assign to
the Funding Lender Representative all of its interest in the Pledged Security at the request of the
Funding Lender Representative other than the rights of the Fiscal Agent to be paid all amounts
due to the Fiscal Agent for Extraordinary Fiscal Agent’s Fees and Expenses and Ordinary Fiscal
Agent’s Fees and Expenses). In no event shall the exercise of any of the foregoing rights result in
an acceleration of the Funding Loan without the express direction of the Funding Lender
Representative.
Section 6.04 Waiver by Governmental Lender. Upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default, to the extent that such right may then lawfully be waived, neither the Governmental
Lender nor anyone claiming through or under it shall set up, claim or seek to take advantage of
any appraisal, valuation, stay, extension or prepayment laws now or hereinafter in force, in order
to prevent or hinder the enforcement of this Funding Loan Agreement; and the Governmental
Lender, for itself and all who may claim through or under it, hereby waives, to the extent that it
lawfully may do so, the benefit of all such laws and all right of appraisement and prepayment to
which it may be entitled under the laws of the State and the United States of America.
Section 6.05 Application of Money After Default. All money collected by the Fiscal
Agent at any time pursuant to this Article shall, except to the extent, if any, otherwise directed by
a court of competent jurisdiction, be credited by the Fiscal Agent to the Revenue Fund. Such
money so credited to the Revenue Fund and all other money from time to time credited to the
Revenue Fund shall at all times be held, transferred, withdrawn and applied as prescribed by the
provisions of Article IV hereof and this Section 6.05.
-33-
In the event that at any time the money credited to the Revenue Fund, the Loan Payment
Fund and the Loan Prepayment Fund available for the payment of interest or principal then due
with respect to the Governmental Note shall be insufficient for such payment, such money shall
be applied as follows and in the following order of priority:
(a) For payment of all amounts due to the Fiscal Agent incurred in
performance of its duties under this Funding Loan Agreement, including, without
limitation, the payment of all reasonable fees and expenses of the Fiscal Agent incurred in
exercising any remedies under this Funding Loan Agreement.
(b) To the extent directed in writing by the Funding Lender Representative, to
the reimbursement of any unreimbursed advances made by or on behalf of the Funding
Lender pursuant to the Continuing Covenant Agreement or the Security Instrument.
(c) Unless the full principal amount of the Funding Loan shall have become or
have been declared due and payable:
FIRST: to the Funding Lender, all installments of interest then due on the
Funding Loan in the order of the maturity of such installments; and
SECOND: to the Funding Lender, unpaid principal of and premium, if any,
on the Funding Loan which shall have become due, whether at maturity or by call
for prepayment, in the order in which they became due and payable.
(d) If the full principal amount of the Governmental Note shall have become
or have been declared due and payable, to the Funding Lender for the payment of the
principal of, premium, if any, and interest then due and unpaid on the Funding Loan
without preference or priority of principal over interest or of interest over principal, or of
any installment of interest over any other installment of interest.
Section 6.06 Remedies Not Exclusive. No right or remedy conferred upon or reserved
to the Fiscal Agent, the Funding Lender or the Funding Lender Representative by the terms of
this Funding Loan Agreement is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, but each
and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right or remedy
given to the Fiscal Agent, the Funding Lender or the Funding Lender Representative under this
Funding Loan Agreement or existing at law or in equity or by statute (including the Act).
Section 6.07 Fiscal Agent May Enforce Rights Without Governmental Note. All rights
of action and claims, including the right to file proof of claims, under this Funding Loan
Agreement may be prosecuted and enforced by the Fiscal Agent at the written direction of the
Funding Lender Representative without the possession of the Governmental Note or the
production thereof in any trial or other proceedings relating thereto. Subject to the rights of the
Funding Lender Representative to direct proceedings hereunder, any such suit or proceeding
instituted by the Fiscal Agent shall be brought in its name as Fiscal Agent without the necessity
of joining as plaintiffs or defendants any Funding Lender, and any recovery or judgment shall be
for the benefit as provided herein of the Funding Lender.
Section 6.08 [Reserved].
Section 6.09 Termination of Proceedings. In case the Fiscal Agent (at the direction of
the Funding Lender Representative) or the Funding Lender Representative shall have proceeded
to enforce any right under this Funding Loan Agreement by the appointment of a receiver, by
entry or otherwise, and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any
-34-
reason, or shall have been determined adversely, then and in every such case the Governmental
Lender, the Fiscal Agent, the Funding Lender Representative, the Borrower and the Funding
Lender shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the
Pledged Security herein conveyed, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Fiscal Agent and
the Funding Lender Representative shall continue as if no such proceedings had been taken.
Section 6.10 Waivers of Events of Default. The Fiscal Agent shall waive any Event of
Default hereunder and its consequences and rescind any declaration of maturity of principal of
and interest on the Funding Loan upon the written direction of the Funding Lender
Representative. In case of any such waiver or rescission, or in case any proceeding taken by the
Fiscal Agent on account of any such Event of Default shall have been discontinued or abandoned
or determined adversely, then and in every such case the Governmental Lender, the Fiscal Agent,
the Borrower, the Servicer, the Funding Lender Representative and the Funding Lender shall be
restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively, but no such waiver or
rescission shall extend to any subsequent or other default, or impair any right consequent thereto.
Section 6.11 Interest on Unpaid Amounts and Default Rate for Nonpayment. In the
event that principal of or interest payable on the Funding Loan is not paid when due, there shall
be payable on the amount not timely paid, on each Interest Payment Date, interest at the Default
Rate, to the extent permitted by law. Interest on the Funding Loan shall accrue at the Default
Rate until the unpaid amount, together with interest thereon, shall have been paid in full.
Section 6.12 Assignment of Project Loan; Remedies Under the Project Loan.
(a) The Funding Lender Representative shall have the right, with respect to the Project
Loan, in its sole and absolute discretion, without directing the Fiscal Agent to effect an
acceleration of the Funding Loan, to instruct the Fiscal Agent in writing to assign the Project Note,
the Security Instrument and the other Project Loan Documents to the Funding Lender
Representative, in which event the Fiscal Agent shall (a) endorse and deliver the Project Note to
the Funding Lender Representative and assign (in recordable form) the Security Instrument, (b)
execute and deliver to the Funding Lender Representative all documents prepared by the
Funding Lender Representative necessary to assign (in recordable form) all other Project Loan
Documents to the Funding Lender Representative and (c) execute all such documents prepared
by the Funding Lender Representative as are necessary to legally and validly effectuate the
assignments provided for in the preceding clauses (a) and (b). The Fiscal Agent’s assignments to
the Funding Lender Representative pursuant to this Section 6.12 shall be without recourse or
warranty except that the Fiscal Agent shall represent and warrant in connection therewith (A)
that the Fiscal Agent has not previously endorsed or assigned any such documents or instruments
and (B) that the Fiscal Agent has the corporate authority to endorse and assign such documents
and instruments and such endorsements and assignments have been duly authorized.
(b) The Funding Lender Representative shall have the right, in its own name or on
behalf of the Governmental Lender or the Fiscal Agent, to declare any default and exercise any
remedies under the Project Loan Agreement, the Project Note or the Security Instrument, whether
or not the Governmental Note has been accelerated or declared due and payable by reason of an
Event of Default or the occurrence of a mandatory prepayment.
Section 6.13 Substitution. Upon receipt of written notice from the Funding Lender
Representative and the approval of the Governmental Lender in connection with a transfer of
ownership of the Project and to the extent permitted under, and subject in any event to the
provisions of, Section 12 of the Tax Regulatory Agreement, the Fiscal Agent shall exchange the
Project Note and the Security Instrument for a new Project Note and Security Instrument,
evidencing and securing a new loan (the “New Project Loan”), which may be executed by a
-35-
person other than the Borrower or owner of the Project (the “New Borrower”), provided that if
the Fiscal Agent, the Funding Lender or a nominee of the Fiscal Agent or the Funding Lender has
acquired the Project through foreclosure, by accepting a deed in lieu of foreclosure or by
comparable conversion of the Project, no approval from the Governmental Lender of such
exchange shall be required. Prior to accepting a New Project Loan, the Fiscal Agent shall have
received (i) written evidence that the New Borrower shall have executed and recorded a
document substantially in the form of the Tax Regulatory Agreement (or executed and recorded
an assumption of all of the Borrower’s obligations under the Tax Regulatory Agreement) and that
the Project Loan Documents have been modified as necessary to be applicable to the New Project
Loan, (ii) an opinion of Bond Counsel, to the effect that such exchange and modification, in and
of itself, shall not affect the exclusion, from gross income, for federal income tax purposes of the
interest payable on the Governmental Note and (iii) written confirmation by the Governmental
Lender that any applicable requirements of Section 12 of the Tax Regulatory Agreement have
been satisfied.

such association or corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth

corporation is eligible, the Fiscal Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect
specified in Section 7.09 hereof.

or transfer to which it is a party shall, ipso facto, be and become successor Fiscal Agent hereunder
and vested with all the title to the whole property or Pledged Security and all the trusts, powers,
discretions, immunities, privileges and all other matters as was its predecessor, without the

Borrower, the Servicer and the Funding Lender Representative. Such notice to the Governmental

time, either with or without cause, with the consent of the Funding Lender Representative (which

instrument signed by the Governmental Lender and delivered to the Fiscal Agent, the Servicer
and the Borrower. The Fiscal Agent may also be removed by a written instrument signed by the
Funding Lender Representative and delivered to the Fiscal Agent, the Servicer, the Governmental
Lender and the Borrower. In each case written notice of such removal shall be given to the
Servicer, the Borrower and to the Funding Lender. Any such removal shall take effect on the day

its property shall be appointed, or if a public supervisory office shall take charge or control of the
Fiscal Agent or of its property or affairs, a vacancy shall forthwith and ipso facto be created in the
office of such Fiscal Agent hereunder, and the Governmental Lender, with the written consent of
the Funding Lender Representative, shall promptly appoint a successor Fiscal Agent. Any such
appointment shall be made by a written instrument executed by an Authorized Officer of the
Governmental Lender. If the Governmental Lender fails to appoint a successor Fiscal Agent

Section 7.09 or Section 7.10 hereunder, as applicable, the Funding Lender Representative may
appoint a successor Fiscal Agent and shall provide written notice thereof to the Governmental
Lender.

notice, if any, as such court may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor Fiscal Agent.
Section 7.12 Concerning Any Successor Fiscal Agent. Every successor Fiscal Agent
appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to its predecessor and also to the
Governmental Lender a written instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and
thereupon such successor, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested

Section 7.14 Appointment of Co Fiscal Agent or Separate Fiscal Agent. It is the intent
of the Governmental Lender and the Fiscal Agent that there shall be no violation of any law of
any jurisdiction (including particularly the laws of the State) denying or restricting the right of
banking corporations or associations to transact business as Fiscal Agent in such jurisdiction. It
is recognized that in case of litigation under or connected with this Funding Loan Agreement, the
Project Loan Agreement or any of the other Financing Documents, and, in particular, in case of
the enforcement of any remedies on default, or in case the Fiscal Agent deems that by reason of
any present or future law of any jurisdiction it may not exercise any of the powers, rights or
remedies herein or therein granted to the Fiscal Agent or hold title to the properties in trust, as
herein granted, or take any other action which may be desirable or necessary in connection
therewith, it may be necessary that the Fiscal Agent, with the consent of the Governmental Lender
and the Funding Lender Representative, appoint an additional individual or institution as a co
fiscal agent or separate fiscal agent.
In the event that the Fiscal Agent appoints an additional individual or institution as a co
fiscal agent or separate fiscal agent, in the event of the incapacity or lack of authority of the Fiscal
Agent, by reason of any present or future law of any jurisdiction, to exercise any of the rights,
powers, trusts and remedies granted to the Fiscal Agent herein or to hold title to the Pledged
Security or to take any other action that may be necessary or desirable in connection therewith,
each and every remedy, power, right, obligation, claim, demand, cause of action, immunity,
estate, title, interest and lien expressed or intended by this Funding Loan Agreement to be
imposed upon, exercised by or vested in or conveyed to the Fiscal Agent with respect thereto
shall be imposed upon, exercisable by and vest in such separate fiscal agent or co-fiscal agent, but
only to the extent necessary to enable such co fiscal agent or separate fiscal agent to exercise such
powers, rights, trusts and remedies, and every covenant and obligation necessary to the exercise
thereof by such co fiscal agent or separate fiscal agent shall run to and be enforceable by either of
them, subject to the remaining provisions of this Section 7.14. Such co fiscal agent or separate
fiscal agent shall deliver an instrument in writing acknowledging and accepting its appointment
hereunder to the Governmental Lender and the Fiscal Agent.
Should any instrument in writing from the Governmental Lender be required by the co
fiscal agent or separate fiscal agent so appointed by the Fiscal Agent for more fully and certainly
-42-
vesting in and confirming to him or it such properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties and
obligations, any and all such instruments in writing shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged
and delivered by the Governmental Lender, the Fiscal Agent and the Borrower. If the
Governmental Lender shall fail to deliver the same within thirty (30) days of such request, the
Fiscal Agent is hereby appointed attorney-in-fact for the Governmental Lender to execute,
acknowledge and deliver such instruments in the Governmental Lender’s name and stead. In
case any co fiscal agent or separate fiscal agent, or a successor to either, shall die, become
incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the estates, properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties
and obligations of such co fiscal agent or separate fiscal agent, so far as permitted by law, shall
vest in and be exercised by the Fiscal Agent until the appointment of a new Fiscal Agent or
successor to such co fiscal agent or separate fiscal agent.
Every co fiscal agent or separate fiscal agent shall, to the extent permitted by law, but to
such extent only, be appointed subject to the following terms, namely:
(a) the Governmental Note shall be authenticated and delivered, and all
rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations by this Funding Loan Agreement conferred
upon the Fiscal Agent in respect of the custody, control or management of money, papers,
securities and other personal property shall be exercised solely by the Fiscal Agent;
(b) all rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations conferred or imposed
upon the Fiscal Agent shall be conferred or imposed upon or exercised or performed by
the Fiscal Agent, or by the Fiscal Agent and such co fiscal agent, or separate fiscal agent
jointly, as shall be provided in the instrument appointing such co fiscal agent or separate
fiscal agent, except to the extent that under the law of any jurisdiction in which any
particular act or acts are to be performed the Fiscal Agent shall be incompetent or
unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such act or acts shall be performed
by such co fiscal agent or separate fiscal agent;
(c) any request in writing by the Fiscal Agent to any co fiscal agent or separate
fiscal agent to take or to refrain from taking any action hereunder shall be sufficient
warrant for the taking or the refraining from taking of such action by such co fiscal agent
or separate fiscal agent;
(d) any co fiscal agent or separate fiscal agent to the extent permitted by law
shall delegate to the Fiscal Agent the exercise of any right, power, trust, duty or obligation,
discretionary or otherwise;
(e) the Fiscal Agent at any time by an instrument in writing with the
concurrence of the Governmental Lender evidenced by a certified resolution may accept
the resignation of or remove any co fiscal agent or separate fiscal agent appointed under
this Section 7.14 and in case an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
the Fiscal Agent shall have power to accept the resignation of or remove any such co fiscal
agent or separate fiscal agent without the concurrence of the Governmental Lender, and
upon the request of the Fiscal Agent, the Governmental Lender shall join with the Fiscal
Agent in the execution, delivery and performance of all instruments and agreements
necessary or proper to effectuate such resignation or removal. A successor to any co fiscal
agent or separate fiscal agent so resigned or removed may be appointed in the manner
provided in this Section 7.14;
(f) no Fiscal Agent or co- fiscal agent hereunder shall be personally liable by
reason of any act or omission of any other Fiscal Agent hereunder;
-43-

waiver or other action in writing executed by the Funding Lender Representative and
delivered to the Fiscal Agent shall be deemed to have been delivered to each such co fiscal
agent or separate fiscal agent; and
(h) any money, papers, securities or other items of personal property received
by any such co fiscal agent or separate fiscal agent hereunder shall forthwith, so far as
may be permitted by law, be turned over to the Fiscal Agent.
The total compensation of the Fiscal Agent and any co fiscal agent or separate fiscal agent
shall be as, and may not exceed the amount, provided in Section 7.06 hereof.
Section 7.15 Notice of Certain Events. The Fiscal Agent shall give written notice to the
Governmental Lender, the Servicer and the Funding Lender Representative of any failure by the
Borrower to comply with the terms of the Tax Regulatory Agreement or any Determination of
Taxability of which a Responsible Officer has actual knowledge.
Section 7.16 [Reserved].
Section 7.17 Filing of Financing Statements. The Fiscal Agent shall, at the expense of
the Borrower, file or record or cause to be filed or recorded all UCC continuation statements for
the purpose of continuing without lapse the effectiveness of those financing statements which
have been filed on or approximately on the Delivery Date in connection with the security for the
Funding Loan pursuant to the authority of the UCC. Upon the filing of any such continuation
statement the Fiscal Agent shall immediately notify the Governmental Lender, the Borrower, the
Funding Lender Representative and the Servicer that the same has been done. If direction is given
by the Servicer or the Funding Lender Representative, the Fiscal Agent shall file all continuation
statements in accordance with such directions.
Section 7.18 USA Patriot Act Requirements of the Fiscal Agent. To help the
government of the United States of America fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering
activities, federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information
that identifies each person who opens an account. For a non-individual Person such as a business
entity, a charity, a trust, or other legal entity, the Fiscal Agent may request documentation to
verify such Person’s formation and existence as a legal entity. The Fiscal Agent may also request
financial statements, licenses, identification and authorization documents from individuals
claiming authority to represent such Person or other relevant documentation.

to constitute either a waiver of the unpaid amounts or an accord and satisfaction.
5. Security. The Indebtedness is secured by, among other things, the Pledged
Security pledged pursuant to the Funding Loan Agreement.
6. Acceleration. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the entire
unpaid principal balance, any accrued interest, and all other amounts payable under this Note
shall at once become due and payable, at the option of the Funding Lender, as governed by the
Funding Loan Agreement, without any prior notice to the Obligor (unless required by applicable
law). The Funding Lender may exercise this option to accelerate regardless of any prior
forbearance.
7. Prepayment; Prepayment Premium. This Note is subject to prepayment as
specified in the Funding Loan Agreement. Prepayment Premium shall be payable as specified in
the Funding Loan Agreement.
8. Forbearance. Any forbearance by the Funding Lender in exercising any right or
remedy under this Note or any other document evidencing or securing the Funding Loan or
otherwise afforded by applicable law, shall not be a waiver of or preclude the exercise of that or
any other right or remedy. The acceptance by the Funding Lender of any payment after the due
date of such payment, or in an amount which is less than the required payment, shall not be a
waiver of the Funding Lender’s right to require prompt payment when due of all other payments
or to exercise any right or remedy with respect to any failure to make prompt payment.
Enforcement by the Funding Lender of any security for the obligations under this Note shall not
constitute an election by the Funding Lender of remedies so as to preclude the exercise of any
other right or remedy available to the Funding Lender.
9. Waivers. Presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest, notice of acceleration,
notice of intent to demand or accelerate payment or maturity, presentment for payment, notice
of nonpayment, grace and diligence in collecting the Indebtedness are waived by the Obligor and
all endorsers and guarantors of this Note and all other third party obligors.
10. Loan Charges. Neither this Note nor any of the other Financing Documents will
be construed to create a contract for the use, forbearance, or detention of money requiring
payment of interest at a rate greater than the rate of interest which results in the maximum
amount of interest allowed by applicable law (the “Maximum Interest Rate”). If any applicable
law limiting the amount of interest or other charges permitted to be collected from Obligor in
connection with the Funding Loan is interpreted so that any interest or other charge provided for
A-3
in any Financing Document, whether considered separately or together with other charges
provided for in any other Financing Document, violates that law, and Obligor is entitled to the
benefit of that law, that interest or charge is hereby reduced to the extent necessary to eliminate
that violation. The amounts, if any, previously paid to Funding Lender in excess of the permitted
amounts will be applied by Funding Lender to reduce the unpaid principal balance of this Note.
For the purpose of determining whether any applicable law limiting the amount of interest or
other charges permitted to be collected from Obligor has been violated, all indebtedness that
constitutes interest, as well as all other charges made in connection with the indebtedness that
constitute interest, will be deemed to be allocated and spread ratably over the stated term of this
Note. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, such allocation and spreading will be effected
in such a manner that the rate of interest so computed is uniform throughout the stated term of
this Note.
11. Governing Law. This Note shall be governed by the laws of the State of California,
without regard to conflicts of laws principles (the “Property Jurisdiction”).
12. Captions. The captions of the paragraphs of this Note are for convenience only
and shall be disregarded in construing this Note.
13. Address for Payment. All payments due under this Note shall be payable at
the principal office of the Funding Lender as designated by the Funding Lender in writing to the
Fiscal Agent and the Servicer.
14. Default Rate. So long as (a) any monthly installment under this Note remains past
due, or (b) any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, interest under this Note
shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance from the earlier of the due date of the first unpaid
monthly installment or the occurrence of such other Event of Default, as applicable, at a rate (the
“Default Rate”) equal to the lesser of (i) the Interest Rate otherwise in effect notwithstanding the
default plus four percent (4%) per annum or (ii) the Maximum Interest Rate. If the unpaid
principal balance and all accrued interest are not paid in full on the Maturity Date, the unpaid
principal balance and all accrued interest shall bear interest from the Maturity Date at the Default
Rate.
15. Limited Obligation. None of the Governmental Lender or any person executing
the Funding Loan Agreement, the Project Loan Agreement or this Note is liable personally on
this Note or subject to any personal liability or accountability by reason of its execution and
delivery. The Funding Loan Agreement and this Note are limited obligations of the
Governmental Lender, payable solely from and secured by the pledge of the Revenues. Neither
the Governmental Lender, nor the State of California 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 payments due in respect of this Note, to levy or to pledge any form of
taxation whatever therefor or to make any appropriation for its payment. This Note is not a
pledge of the faith and credit of the Governmental Lender or the State of California or any of its
political subdivisions nor does it constitute indebtedness within the meaning of any
constitutional or statutory debt limitation. The Governmental Lender shall not be liable for
payment of the principal of, prepayment price or interest in respect of this Note 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 the Funding Loan Agreement, the Project Loan
Agreement, this Note or any other documents, except only to the extent amounts are received for
the payment thereof from the Borrower under the Project Loan Agreement.
A-4
16. Transfer. This Note may only be transferred in accordance with the requirements
of Section 2.08(b) of the Funding Loan Agreement.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Obligor has caused this Note to be duly executed by the
manual or facsimile signature of its authorized representative.

U.S. Bank National Association, as Fiscal Agent
San Francisco, California
Re: Hidden Cove Apartments
Ladies and Gentlemen:
The undersigned (the “Funding Lender”) hereby acknowledges receipt of the County of
Contra Costa, California Multifamily Housing Revenue Note (Hidden Cove Apartments), 2020
Series A, dated January __, 2020 (the “Governmental Note”) delivered pursuant to the Funding
Loan Agreement dated as of January 1, 2020 (the “Funding Loan Agreement”), among Capital
One, National Association, in its capacity as Initial Funding Lender (the “Initial Funding
Lender”), the County of Contra Costa, California (the “Governmental Lender”) and U.S. Bank
National Association, as Fiscal Agent (the “Fiscal Agent”). Capitalized terms used herein and not
otherwise defined have the meanings given to such terms in the Funding Loan Agreement.
In connection with the [origination/purchase] of the Funding Loan by the Funding
Lender, the Funding Lender hereby makes the following representations upon which you may
rely:
1. The Funding Lender has authority to [originate/purchase] the Funding Loan and
to execute this letter and any other instruments and documents required to be executed by the
Funding Lender in connection with the [origination/purchase] of the Funding Loan.
2. The Funding Lender is an “accredited investor” under Regulation D of the
Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) or a “qualified institutional buyer” under Rule 144(a) of said
Act (such “accredited investor” or “qualified institutional buyer”, a “Qualified Transferee”), and
has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial and business matters, including purchase
and ownership of municipal and other tax-exempt obligations, to be able to evaluate the risks and
merits of the investment represented by the Funding Loan.
3. The Funding Lender acknowledges that it is [originating/purchasing] the
Funding Loan for investment for its own account and not with a present view toward resale or
the distribution thereof (except as set forth below), in that it does not now intend to resell or
otherwise dispose of all or any part of its interests in the Funding Loan (except as set forth below);
provided, however, that the Funding Lender may, notwithstanding the foregoing and the terms
of Paragraph 4 below, (i) transfer the Funding Loan to any affiliate or other party related to the
Funding Lender that is a Qualified Transferee or (ii) sell or transfer the Funding Loan to a special
purpose entity, a trust or a custodial or similar pooling arrangement from which the Funding
Loan or securitized interests therein are not expected to be sold except to (x) owners or beneficial
owners thereof that are Qualified Transferees or (y) in circumstances where secondary market
credit enhancement is provided for such securitized interests resulting in a rating thereof of at
C-2
least “A” or better from a Rating Agency; provided, further, however, the Funding Lender has
originated and funded the Funding Loan with the expectation that the Funding Loan will be sold
to the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”) pursuant to the commitment
dated [_________] (the “Freddie Mac Commitment”)].
4. In addition to the right to sell or transfer the Funding Loan as set forth in
Paragraph 3 above, the Funding Lender further acknowledges its right to sell or transfer the
Funding Loan, subject, as required under the Funding Loan Agreement, to the delivery to the
Fiscal Agent of a transferee representations letter from the transferee to substantially the same
effect as this Transferee Representations Letter or in such other form authorized by the Funding
Loan Agreement with no revisions except as may be approved in writing by the Governmental
Lender. Failure to comply with the transfer restrictions set forth in the Funding Loan Agreement
shall cause the purported transfer to be null and void.
5. The Funding Lender understands that the Governmental Note is not registered
under the Act and that such registration is not legally required as of the date hereof; and further
understands that the Governmental Note (a) is not being registered or otherwise qualified for sale
under the “Blue Sky” laws and regulations of any state, (b) will not be listed in any stock or other
securities exchange, (c) will not carry a rating from any rating service and (d) will be delivered in
a form which may not be readily marketable.
6. The Funding Lender understands that (a) the Funding Loan is not secured by any
pledge of any moneys received or to be received from taxation by the State or any political
subdivision thereof, (b) the Funding Loan does not and will not represent or constitute a general
obligation or a pledge of the faith and credit of the Governmental Lender, the State or any political
subdivision thereof; and (c) the liability of the Governmental Lender with respect to the Funding
Loan is limited to the Pledged Security as set forth in the Funding Loan Agreement.
7. The Funding Lender has either been supplied with or been given access to
information, including financial statements and other financial information, which it considers
necessary to make an informed decision in connection with the [origination/purchase] of the
Funding Loan. The Funding Lender has not relied upon the Governmental Lender for any
information in connection with its purchase of the Funding Loan.
8. The Funding Lender has made its own inquiry and analysis with respect to the
Funding Loan and the security therefor, and other material factors affecting the security and
payment of the Funding Loan. The Funding Lender is aware that the business of the Borrower
involves certain economic variables and risks that could adversely affect the security for the
Funding Loan. In entering into this transaction, the Funding Lender has not relied upon any
representations or opinions of the Governmental Lender or the Fiscal Agent relating to the legal
consequences or other aspects of its investment in the Funding Loan, nor has it looked to, nor
expected, the Governmental Lender or the Fiscal Agent to undertake or require any credit
investigation or due diligence reviews relating to the Borrower, its financial condition or business
operations, the Project (including the financing or management thereof), or any other matter
pertaining to the merits or risks of the transactions contemplated by the Financing Documents,
or the adequacy of the funds pledged to the repayment of the Funding Loan.
9. The Funding Lender is not now and has never been controlled by, or under
common control with, the Borrower. The Borrower has never been and is not now controlled by
the Funding Lender. The Funding Lender has entered into no arrangements with the Borrower
or with any affiliate in connection with the Governmental Note or the Funding Loan, other than
as disclosed to the Governmental Lender.
C-3
All agreements, representations and warranties made herein shall survive the execution
and delivery of this letter agreement and, notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or
hereafter, shall continue in full force and effect.

Project Loan Payment Date as provided in the Project Note, and in all instances at the times and
in the amounts necessary to enable the Fiscal Agent, on behalf of the Governmental Lender, or
the Servicer, to pay all amounts payable with respect to the Funding Loan, when due, whether at

such timely payment, the Servicer shall collect from the Borrower, and the Borrower shall provide
to the Servicer the foregoing payments not less than two (2) Business Days prior to each respective

to the Project Note shall be credited against the Borrower’s obligations hereunder on a dollar for
dollar basis. If for any reason the Project Note or any provision of the Project Note shall be held
invalid or unenforceable against the Borrower by any court of competent jurisdiction, the Project
Note or such provision of the Project Note shall be deemed to be the obligation of the Borrower
pursuant to this Project Loan Agreement to the full extent permitted by law and such holding
shall not invalidate or render unenforceable any of the provisions of this Article IV and shall not
serve to discharge any of the Borrower’s payment obligations hereunder or eliminate the credit
against such obligations to the extent of payments made under the Project Note.
(b) Obligations Unconditional; No Set-Off. The obligation of the Borrower to repay
the Project Loan, to perform all of its obligations under the Project Loan Documents, to provide
indemnification pursuant to Section 6.01 hereof, to pay costs, expenses and charges pursuant to

-14-
Agreement, the Funding Loan Agreement or any other documents contemplated by this Project
Loan Agreement or by the Project Loan Documents shall, subject to the limitations set forth in
Section 4.06 hereof, be absolute and unconditional, and shall be paid or performed without notice
or demand, and without abatement, deduction, set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or defense or
any right of termination or cancellation arising from any circumstance whatsoever, whether now
existing or hereafter arising, and irrespective of whether the Borrower’s title to the Project or to
any part thereof is defective or nonexistent, and notwithstanding any damage due to loss, theft
or destruction of the Project or any part thereof, any failure of consideration or frustration of
commercial purpose, the taking by eminent domain of title to or of the right of temporary use of
all or any part of the Project, legal curtailment of the Borrower’s use thereof, the eviction or
constructive eviction of the Borrower, any change in the tax or other laws of the United States of
America, the State or any political subdivision thereof, any change in the Governmental Lender’s

is no Servicer or if the Borrower is so directed in writing by the Funding Lender Representative.
Each such payment shall be made to the Fiscal Agent or the Servicer, as applicable, by deposit to
such account as the Fiscal Agent or the Servicer may designate by written notice to the Borrower.

its nominee) shall become the owner of the Project as a result of a foreclosure or a deed in lieu of
foreclosure, or comparable conversion of the Project Loan, the Funding Lender (or its nominee)
shall not be liable for any breach or default of any prior owner of the Project under this Project
Loan Agreement and shall only be responsible for defaults and obligations incurred or occurring
during the period that the Funding Lender (or its nominee) is the owner of the Project.
Accordingly, during any period that the Funding Lender (or its nominee) owns the Project and
that this Article VI is applicable to the Funding Lender (or its nominee), the Funding Lender’s (or
its nominee’s) obligations under this Article VI shall be limited to acts and omissions of the
Funding Lender (or its nominee) occurring during the period of the Funding Lender’s (or its
nominee’s) ownership of the Project.
ARTICLE VII
EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
Section 7.01 Events of Default. The following shall be “Events of Default” under this
Project Loan Agreement, and the term “Event of Default” shall mean, whenever it is used in this
Project Loan Agreement, one or all of the following events:
(a) Any representation or warranty made by the Borrower in the Financing
Documents or any certificate, statement, data or information furnished by the Borrower
in connection therewith or included by the Borrower in its application to the
Governmental Lender for assistance proves at any time to have been incorrect when made
in any material respect;
(b) Failure by the Borrower to pay any amounts due under this Project Loan
Agreement, the Project Note or the Security Instrument at the times and in the amounts
required by this Project Loan Agreement, the Project Note and the Security Instrument, as
applicable;
(c) The Borrower shall fail to observe or perform any other term, covenant,
condition or agreement (after taking into account any applicable cure period) set forth in
this Project Loan Agreement, which failure continues for a period of 30 days after notice
of such failure by the Governmental Lender, the Fiscal Agent or the Funding Lender
Representative to the Borrower (unless such default cannot with due diligence be cured
within 30 days but can be cured within a reasonable period and will not, in the Funding
Lender Representative’s sole discretion, adversely affect the Funding Lender or result in
impairment of this Project Loan Agreement or any other Financing Document, in which
case no Event of Default shall be deemed to exist so long as Borrower shall have
commenced to cure the default or Event of Default within 30 days after receipt of notice,
and thereafter diligently and continuously prosecutes such cure to completion); provided,
however, no such notice or grace periods shall apply in the case of any such failure which
could, in the Funding Lender Representative’s judgment, absent immediate exercise by
the Funding Lender Representative of a right or remedy under this Project Loan
Agreement, result in harm to the Funding Lender, impairment of this Project Loan
Agreement or any other Financing Document;
-23-
(d) The occurrence of a default under the Continuing Covenant Agreement or
the Security Instrument (after taking into account any applicable cure period thereunder)
shall at the discretion of the Funding Lender Representative constitute an Event of Default
under this Project Loan Agreement but only if the Fiscal Agent is provided written notice
by the Funding Lender Representative that an Event of Default has occurred under such
Financing Document and the Fiscal Agent is instructed by the Funding Lender
Representative that such default constitutes an Event of Default hereunder. The
occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder shall in the discretion of the Funding Lender
Representative constitute a default under the other Financing Documents.
Nothing contained in this Section 7.01 is intended to amend or modify any of the
provisions of the Financing Documents or to bind the Governmental Lender, the Fiscal Agent,
the Servicer or the Funding Lender Representative to any notice and cure periods other than as
expressly set forth in the Financing Documents.
Section 7.02 Remedies on Default. Subject to Section 7.06 hereof, whenever any Event
of Default hereunder shall have occurred and be continuing, the Funding Lender (or the Fiscal
Agent at the direction of the Funding Lender), may take any one or more of the following
remedial steps:
(a) The Funding Lender (or the Fiscal Agent at the direction of the Funding
Lender) may take such action, without notice or demand, as the Funding Lender deems
advisable to protect and enforce its rights against the Borrower and in and to the Project,
including declaring the Project Loan to be immediately due and payable (including,
without limitation, declaring the principal of, Prepayment Premium, if any, and interest
on and all other amounts due on the Project Note to be immediately due and payable).
(b) The Funding Lender (or the Fiscal Agent at the direction of the Funding
Lender) may, without being required to give any notice (other than to the Governmental
Lender or the Fiscal Agent, as applicable), except as provided herein, pursue all remedies
of a creditor under the laws of the State, as supplemented and amended, or any other
applicable laws.
(c) The Funding Lender (or the Fiscal Agent at the direction of the Funding
Lender) may take whatever action at law or in equity may appear necessary or desirable
to collect the payments under this Project Loan Agreement then due and thereafter to
become due, or to enforce performance and observance of any obligation, agreement or
covenant of the Borrower under this Project Loan Agreement.
In addition, subject to Section 7.06 hereof, the Governmental Lender and the Fiscal Agent
may pursue remedies with respect to the Unassigned Rights.
Any amounts collected pursuant to Article IV hereof and any other amounts which would
be applicable to payment of principal of and interest and any premium on the Funding Loan
collected pursuant to action taken under this Section 7.02 shall be applied in accordance with the
provisions of the Funding Loan Agreement.
Section 7.03 No Remedy Exclusive. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, all or
any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available against the
Borrower hereunder or under the Financing Documents or otherwise at law or in equity may be
exercised by the Funding Lender (or the Fiscal Agent at the direction of the Funding Lender), at
any time and from time to time, whether or not the Funding Lender has accelerated the Project
Loan, and whether or not the Funding Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding
-24-
or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Financing
Documents. No remedy conferred upon or reserved to the Funding Lender or the Fiscal Agent
by this Project Loan Agreement 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 Project 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
Event of 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 Funding Lender (or the Fiscal Agent at the direction of the
Funding Lender) 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 expressly required by this Project Loan
Agreement.
Section 7.04 Agreement to Pay Attorneys’ Fees and Expenses. In the event the
Borrower shall default under any of the provisions of this Project Loan Agreement and the
Governmental Lender, the Fiscal Agent, the Servicer or the Funding Lender Representative shall
employ attorneys or incur other expenses for the collection of loan payments or the enforcement
of performance or observance of any obligation or agreement on the part of the Borrower
contained in this Project Loan Agreement or in the Project Note, the Borrower shall on demand
therefor reimburse the reasonable fees of such attorneys and such other expenses so incurred.
Section 7.05 No Additional Waiver Implied by One Waiver. In the event any
agreement contained in this Project Loan Agreement shall be breached by any party and
thereafter waived by the other parties, such waiver shall be limited to the particular breach so
waived and shall not be deemed to waive any other breach hereunder.
Section 7.06 Control of Proceedings.
(a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, notwithstanding anything
to the contrary herein, the Funding Lender Representative shall have the sole and exclusive right
at any time to direct the time, method and place of conducting all proceedings to be taken in
connection with the enforcement of the terms and conditions of this Project Loan Agreement, or
for the appointment of a receiver or any other proceedings hereunder, in accordance with the
provisions of law and of this Project Loan Agreement. In addition, the Funding Lender
Representative shall have the sole and exclusive right at any time to directly enforce all rights and
remedies hereunder and under the other Financing Documents with or without the involvement
of the Fiscal Agent or the Governmental Lender. In no event shall the exercise of any of the
foregoing rights result in an acceleration of the Project Loan without the express direction of the
Funding Lender Representative.
(b) The Governmental Lender and the Fiscal Agent covenant that they will not,
without the prior written consent of the Funding Lender Representative, take any of the following
actions:
(i) prosecute any action with respect to a lien on the Project; or
(ii) 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 under, the Project Loan; or
(iii) interfere with or attempt to influence the exercise by the Funding Lender
Representative of any of its rights under the Financing Documents upon the occurrence
of any event of default by the Borrower under the Financing Documents; or
-25-
(iv) take any action to accelerate or otherwise enforce payment or seek other
remedies with respect to the Project Loan or the Funding Loan.
(c) Notwithstanding Sections 7.06(a) and 7.06(b) hereof, the Governmental Lender or
the Fiscal Agent may:
(i) specifically enforce the tax covenants of the Borrower specified in Section
2.04 and 2.05 hereof or seek injunctive relief against acts which may be in violation thereof;
(ii) specifically enforce the Tax Regulatory Agreement or seek injunctive relief
against acts which may be in violation of the Tax Regulatory Agreement or are otherwise
inconsistent with the operation of the Project in accordance with applicable requirements
of the Code and State law, including the Act (but in neither the case of subsection (c)(i)
above or this subsection (c)(ii) may the Governmental Lender or the Fiscal Agent seek any
form of monetary damages from the Borrower in connection with such enforcement).
In addition, notwithstanding Section 7.06(a) and 7.06(b) hereof, the Governmental Lender
and the Fiscal Agent may seek specific performance of the other Unassigned Rights (provided no
monetary damages are sought), and nothing herein shall be construed to limit the rights of the
Governmental Lender, the Fiscal Agent or any Indemnified Party related to the Governmental
Lender or the Fiscal Agent under Section 6.01 (each a “Related Indemnified Party”) to enforce
their respective rights against the Borrower under Sections 4.02, 4.03, 6.01 and 7.04 hereof,
provided that no obligation of the Borrower to the Governmental Lender, the Fiscal Agent or any
Related Indemnified Party under such sections shall be secured by or in any manner constitute a
lien on, or security interest in, the Project, whether in favor of the Governmental Lender, the Fiscal
Agent or any Related Indemnified Party, and all such obligations are and shall be subordinate in
priority, in right to payment and in all other respects to all other obligations, liens, rights
(including without limitation the right to payment) and interests arising or created under the
Financing Documents (except for the Fiscal Agent’s right to receive payment of reasonable fees
and expenses pursuant to Section 6.05(a) of the Funding Loan Agreement after an event of default
with respect to the Funding Loan, which reasonable fees and expenses of the Fiscal Agent shall
be payable as provided thereunder). Accordingly, none of the Governmental Lender, the Fiscal
Agent or any Related Indemnified Party shall have the right to enforce any monetary obligation
arising under such sections other than directly against the Borrower, without recourse to the
Project. In addition, any such enforcement must 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, rehabilitation, composition, reorganization,
conservation or other similar law in effect now or in the future.
Section 7.07 Assumption of Obligations. In the event that the Fiscal Agent or the
Funding Lender or their respective assignee or designee shall become the legal or beneficial
owner of the Project by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure, such party shall succeed to the
rights and the obligations of the Borrower under this Project Loan Agreement, the Project Note,
the Tax Regulatory Agreement, and any other Financing Documents to which the Borrower is a
party or with respect to which it is a third-party beneficiary. Such assumption shall be effective
from and after the effective date of such acquisition and shall be made with the benefit of the
limitations of liability set forth therein and without any liability for the prior acts of the Borrower.

California 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 payments due in
respect of the Governmental Note, to levy or to pledge any form of taxation whatever therefor or

payments to be made hereunder shall ever prove insufficient to pay all principal (or Prepayment
Premium) and interest on the Funding Loan as the same shall become due (whether by maturity,
prepayment, acceleration or otherwise), then upon notice from the Fiscal Agent, 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 Prepayment Premium) or interest, including, but not limited
to, any deficiency caused by acts, omissions, nonfeasance or malfeasance on the part of the Fiscal
Agent, the Borrower, the Governmental Lender or any third party, subject to any right of
reimbursement from the Fiscal Agent, the Governmental Lender or any such third party, as the
case may be, therefor but solely, in the case of the Governmental Lender, from the Revenues,
other than with respect to any deficiency caused by the willful misconduct of the Governmental
Lender.

covenant, or agreement or in the Governmental Note, or under any judgment obtained against

be had against any Supervisor, director, employee, agent or officer, as such, past, present, or
future, of the Governmental Lender, either directly or through the Governmental Lender, or
otherwise, for the payment for or to the Governmental Lender or any receiver thereof, or for or
to the Funding Lender, of any sum that may be due and unpaid by the Governmental Lender
upon the Funding Loan. Any and all personal liability of every nature, whether at common law
or in equity, or by statute or by constitution or otherwise, of any such Supervisor, director,
employee, agent or officer, as such, to respond by reason of any act or omission on his or her part
or otherwise, for the payment for or to the Governmental Lender or any receiver thereof, or for

Loan Agreement solely in its capacity as Fiscal Agent and shall be entitled to the rights,
protections, limitations from liability and immunities afforded it as Fiscal Agent under the
Funding Loan Agreement. The Fiscal Agent shall be responsible only for the duties of the Fiscal
Agent expressly set forth herein and in the Funding Loan Agreement.
Section 8.17 Reliance. The representations, covenants, agreements and warranties set
forth in this Project Loan Agreement may be relied upon by the Governmental Lender, the Fiscal
Agent, Bond Counsel, the Servicer, the Funding Lender and the Funding Lender Representative.
In performing their duties and obligations under this Project Loan Agreement and under the
Funding Loan Agreement, the Governmental Lender and the Fiscal Agent may rely upon
statements and certificates of the Borrower, upon certificates of tenants believed to be genuine
and to have been executed by the proper person or persons, and upon audits of the books and
records of the Borrower pertaining to occupancy of the Project. In addition, the Governmental
Lender and the Fiscal Agent 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 or the Fiscal Agent under this Project Loan Agreement and under the
Funding Loan Agreement in good faith and in conformity with the opinion of such counsel. It is
expressly understood and agreed by the parties to this Project Loan Agreement (other than the
Governmental Lender) that:
(a) the Governmental Lender may rely conclusively on the truth and accuracy
of any certificate, opinion, notice or other instrument furnished to the Governmental
Lender by the Fiscal Agent, the Funding Lender or the Borrower as to the existence of a
fact or state of affairs required under this Project Loan Agreement to be noticed by the
Governmental Lender;
(b) the Governmental Lender shall not be under any obligation to perform any
record keeping or to provide any legal service, it being understood that such services shall
be performed or caused to be performed by the Fiscal Agent, the Funding Lender
Representative, the Servicer or the Borrower, as applicable; and
(c) none of the provisions of this Project Loan Agreement shall require the
Governmental Lender or the Fiscal Agent to expend or risk its own funds (apart from the
proceeds of Funding Loan issued under the Funding Loan Agreement) or otherwise
endure financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any
of its rights under this Project Loan Agreement, unless it shall first have been adequately
indemnified to its satisfaction against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be
incurred by taking any such action.

RECITALS:
WHEREAS, on May 7, 2003, the Governmental Lender issued its County of Contra Costa
Multifamily Housing Revenue Bonds (Hidden Cove Apartments Project) 2003 Series A (the
“2003 Bonds”) the proceeds of which were used to make a loan (the “Prior Loan”) to Steadfast
Hidden Cove, L.P., a California limited partnership (the “Prior Owner”) to finance costs of an
88-unit multifamily residential rental facility known as Hidden Cove Apartments (the “Project”)
located in the Bay Point unincorporated area of the County on the site described in Exhibit A

WHEREAS, at the time of the issuance of the 2003 Bonds, the Governmental Lender, the
Prior Owner and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee for the 2003 Bonds, entered
into a Regulatory Agreement and Declaration of Restrictive Covenants, dated as of May 1, 2003
(the “Prior Regulatory Agreement”), imposing various requirements on the Project in order to
satisfy requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and
provisions of the California Health and Safety Code applicable to the Project by reason of the
issuance of the 2003 Bonds and the use of proceeds of the 2003 Bonds to finance the Project; and
WHEREAS, the Governmental Lender now proposes to enter into a Funding Loan

“Funding Loan Agreement”), among the Governmental Lender, Capital One, National
Association, as Initial Funding Lender (the “Initial Funding Lender”) and U.S. Bank National

Certification dated immediately prior to the initial occupancy of such Low Income
Tenant in the unit and a second Income Certification dated one year after the Low-
Income Tenant’s initial move-in date, and (ii) thereafter, an annual Income Certification

Certifications required by clause (ii) of the preceding sentence, the Borrower may, with
respect to any particular twelve-month period ending each January 1, deliver to the
Administrator no later than fifteen days after such date a certification that as of each
January 1, no residential unit in the Project was occupied within the preceding twelve
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 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 Income Certifications for tenants.
The Borrower will also provide such additional information as may be required in the
future by the Code, the State or the Governmental Lender, 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 Income Certifications for Low
-12-
Income Tenants commencing or continuing occupation of a Low Income Unit shall be
submitted to the Administrator or the Governmental Lender, as requested.
(d) The Borrower shall make a good faith effort to verify that the income
information provided by an applicant in an Income Certification 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
Administrator.
(e) The Borrower will maintain complete and accurate records pertaining to the
Low Income Units, and will permit any duly authorized representative of the
Administrator, the Governmental Lender, the Servicer, 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.
(f) The Borrower will prepare and submit to the Administrator, on behalf of the
Governmental Lender, not less than semi-annually, commencing not less than six
months after the Closing Date, a Certificate of Continuing Program Compliance
executed by the Borrower in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C.
(g) For the Compliance 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 by such tenant in the Income
Certification; (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 Governmental Lender or the Administrator on behalf of the
Governmental Lender, and that the failure to provide accurate information in the
Income Certification 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 statements made by such
tenant in the Income Certification and supporting information supplied by the Low
Income Tenant in determining qualification for occupancy of a 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) and
that if upon any such certification the aggregate Gross Income of tenants in such unit
exceeds the applicable income limit under Section 4(b), the unit occupied by such tenant
may cease to qualify as a Low Income Unit and such unit’s rent may be subject to
increase.
For purposes of this Section 4, no unit occupied by a residential manager shall be treated
as a rental unit during the time of such occupation.
-13-
Section 5. Tax-Exempt Status of the Governmental Note. The Borrower and the
Governmental Lender, as applicable, each hereby represents, warrants and agrees as follows:
(a) The Borrower and the Governmental Lender 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 Governmental Note 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 Governmental Lender will file of record such
documents and take such other steps as are necessary, in the written opinion of Tax
Counsel filed with the Governmental Lender (with a copy to the Borrower), 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. Requirements of the Act. In addition to the other requirements set forth
herein, the Borrower hereby agrees that it shall comply with each of the requirements of the
Act, including the following:
(a) As provided in Section 52080(a)(1)(B) of the Act, forty percent (40%) 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 60 percent or less of
area median income, 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 of area median income,
within the meaning of Section 52080(a)(1) of the Act.
(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 Regulatory Agreement to be subordinated to the syndication
-14-
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 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 Governmental Note, 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.
(g) Except in the event of foreclosure and repayment of the Governmental
Note, 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 Regulatory 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. Requirements of the Governmental Lender. In addition to other requirements
set forth herein and to the extent not prohibited by the requirements set forth in Sections 4
-15-
through 6 hereof, the Borrower hereby agrees to comply with each of the requirements of the
Governmental Lender set forth in this Section 7, 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
shall be maintained as required by the Governmental Lender, in a reasonable condition
for proper audit and subject to examination upon reasonable notice (which need not be
in excess of three Business Days) and during business hours by representatives of the
Governmental Lender.
(b) The Borrower shall not discriminate on the basis of race, creed, color, religion,
sex, sexual orientation, marital status, national origin, source of income (e.g. AFDC and
SSI), ancestry or handicap in the lease, use or occupancy of the Project (except as
required to comply with Section 3(e)(iii), (iv) or (v)), or in connection with the
employment or application for employment of persons for the rehabilitation, operation,
or management of the Project.
(c) The Borrower shall not, at initial occupancy, 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 shall at all times offer for rent the largest unit then available for the
applicable household size (being one bedroom units for 2-3 person households, and two
bedroom units for 4-5 person households). The foregoing, however, shall not apply to
one unit in the Project occupied by a resident manager.
(d) The Borrower shall pay directly to the Governmental Lender (i) on the
Closing Date the Governmental Lender Issuance Fee and the Governmental Lender
Annual Fee for the period from the Closing Date to but not including January 1, 2021,
and (ii) on each January 1, on and after January 1, 2021, the Governmental Lender
Annual Fee; without in either case any requirement for notice or billing of the amount
due. In addition, the Borrower shall pay to the Governmental Lender promptly
following receipt of an invoice that reasonably identifies the relevant expenses and the
amounts thereof, any out of pocket expenses incurred by the Governmental Lender in
connection with the Governmental Note, the Project Note, the Funding Loan
Agreement, the Project Loan Agreement, this Regulatory Agreement or any of the other
Financing Documents, including but not limited to any costs related to the FOCUS
Program.
(e) The rent limits set forth in Sections 6(b) and 6(f) shall apply to all Low Income
Units. In addition, the rental payments paid by Low Income Tenants for the Low
Income Units shall not exceed Affordable Rents.
(f) The Borrower will accept as tenants, on the same basis as all other prospective
tenants, persons who are recipients of federal certificates for rent subsidies pursuant to
the existing program under Section 8 of the Act, or its successor. The Borrower shall not
apply selection criteria to Section 8 certificate or voucher holders that is more
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.
-16-
(g) The Borrower shall submit to the Governmental Lender: (i) rent rolls and
other information required by the FOCUS Program on a quarterly basis, and (ii) within
fifteen (15) days after receipt of a written request, any other information or completed
forms requested by the Governmental Lender in order to comply with reporting
requirements of the Internal Revenue Service or the State.
(h) The Borrower shall indemnify the Governmental Lender as provided in
Section 9 hereof and in Section 6.01 of the Project Loan Agreement.
(i) The Governmental Lender may, at its option and at its expense, at any time
appoint an Administrator to administer this Agreement or any provision hereof and to
monitor performance by the Borrower of all or of any of the terms, provisions and
requirements hereof. Following any such appointment, the Borrower shall comply with
any request by the Governmental Lender to deliver to 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 such administrator as an agent of
the Governmental Lender.
(j) The Borrower shall submit its written management policies with respect to the
Project, if any, to the Governmental Lender 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 conflict with the provisions of the addendum to the form of lease for the
Project prepared by the Housing Authority of Contra Costa County, and shall attach
such 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
Governmental Lender, and (iv) a statement that a public hearing may be held by the
Governmental Lender 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 Governmental
Lender.
(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.
-17-
(n) The Borrower shall not participate in any refunding of the Governmental
Note or the Project Loan by means of the issuance of bonds or other obligations by any
governmental body other than the Governmental Lender.
(o) Each of the requirements of Sections 3, 4 and 6 hereof is hereby incorporated
as a specific requirement of the Governmental Lender, whether or not required by
California or federal law.
(p) The requirements of Section 6 and this Section 7 shall be in effect for the
Compliance Period.
Any of the foregoing requirements of the Governmental Lender contained in this Section
7 may be expressly waived by the Governmental Lender in writing, but (i) no waiver by the
Governmental Lender of any requirement of this Section 7 shall, or shall be deemed to, extend
to or affect any other provision of this Regulatory Agreement except to the extent the
Governmental Lender has received an opinion of Tax 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 Governmental Note for federal income tax purposes; and (ii) any
requirement of this Section 7 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
with any such requirement would cause interest on the Governmental Note 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 8. Modification of Covenants. The Borrower and the Governmental Lender
hereby agree as follows:
(a) To the extent any amendments to the Act, the Regulations or the Code shall,
in the written opinion of Tax Counsel filed with the Governmental Lender and the
Borrower (with a copy to the Servicer), retroactively 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 and
compliance therewith is necessary to maintain the validity of, or the Tax-Exempt status
of interest on the Governmental Note, 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 Tax Counsel filed with the Governmental Lender
and the Borrower (with a copy to the Servicer), 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
Governmental Lender, at its sole discretion, and the Borrower, and only upon receipt by
the Governmental Lender (with a copy to the Servicer) of the written opinion of Tax
Counsel to the effect that such amendment is permitted by the Project Loan Agreement
and will not affect the Tax-Exempt status of interest on the Governmental Note or
violate the requirements of the Act, and otherwise is in accordance with Section 22
hereof.
-18-
(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.
Section 9. Indemnification; Other Payments. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the
Borrower agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Governmental Lender and each of
its officers, Supervisors, officials, employees, attorneys 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 or 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 Agreement, the Project Loan Agreement, this Regulatory
Agreement or any of the other Financing Documents and all documents related thereto,
or the execution or amendment hereof or thereof or in connection with transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby, including the issuance, sale, resale or remarketing of
the Funding Loan;
(ii) any act or omission of the Borrower or any of its agents, contractors,
servants, employees or licensees in connection with the Project Loan or the Project, the
acquisition, rehabilitation or 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 and rehabilitation of the Project or any
part thereof;
(iii) any lien or charge upon payments by the Borrower to the Governmental
Lender or the Servicer or any taxes (including, without limitation, all ad valorem taxes
and sales taxes), assessments, impositions and other charges imposed on the
Governmental Lender or the Servicer in respect of any portion of the Project;
(iv) any violation of the Project Loan Agreement or any environmental law, rule
or regulation with respect to, or the release of any toxic substance from, the Project or
any part thereof;
(v) the defeasance and/or prepayment, in whole or in part, of the Funding Loan
or the Project Loan;
(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 document for the Funding Loan or any of the documents relating to the
Funding Loan, or any omission or alleged omission from any offering statement or
disclosure document for the Funding Loan 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; or
(vii) any declaration of taxability of interest on the Governmental Note, or
allegations (or regulatory inquiry) that interest on the Governmental Note is taxable for
federal tax purposes;
except to the extent such damages are caused by the willful misconduct of such Indemnified
Party. In the event that any action or proceeding is brought against any Indemnified Party with
-19-
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.
In addition thereto, the Borrower will pay upon demand all of the fees and expenses
paid or incurred by the Governmental Lender in enforcing the provisions hereof.
The provisions of this Section 9 shall survive the final payment or defeasance of the
Funding Loan and the Project Loan, and the termination of this Regulatory Agreement;
provided, however, the provisions of this Section shall, in the case of the Governmental Lender,
survive the term of this Agreement, but only as to claims arising from events occurring during
the term of this Regulatory Agreement.
Nothing contained in this Section 9 shall cause the obligation of the Borrower to pay
principal and interest on the Project Loan to be a recourse obligation of the Borrower.
The obligations of the Borrower under this Section are independent of any other
contractual obligation of the Borrower to provide indemnity to the Indemnified Parties, 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
Indemnified Party 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 incur the Funding
Loan to provide funds to lend to the Borrower to finance the Project, all for the purpose, among
others, of inducing the Borrower to acquire, rehabilitate and operate the Project. In
consideration of the issuance of the Governmental Note by the Governmental Lender, 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 Governmental Lender 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 Governmental Note, in the exemption from
California personal income taxation of interest on the Governmental Note and in the Tax-
Exempt status of the interest on the Governmental Note. In performing their duties and
obligations hereunder, the Governmental Lender 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. In addition, the Governmental Lender 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
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
-20-
delivered to the Governmental Lender by the Borrower with respect to the occurrence or
absence of a default.
Section 12. Transfer of the Project. For the Compliance Period, the Borrower shall not
Transfer the Project, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of the Governmental
Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, if the following
conditions are satisfied: (A) the receipt by the Governmental Lender of evidence acceptable to
the Governmental Lender that (1) the Borrower shall not be in default hereunder or under any
of the other Project Loan Documents in effect, or the transferee 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 transferee or its 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 governmental requirements applicable to
such projects, or (b) the transferee agrees to retain a Manager 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, or another management company reasonably acceptable to
the Governmental Lender will manage, for at least one year following such Transfer and, if
applicable, during such period the transferring Borrower or its management company will
provide training to the transferee and its manager in the responsibilities relating to the Low
Income Units; and (4) the person or entity that is to acquire the Project does not have pending
against it, and does not have a history of significant and material building code violations or
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 transferee of a document reasonably acceptable to the Governmental
Lender with respect to the assumption of the Borrower’s obligations under this Regulatory
Agreement and the other Project Loan Documents in effect, including without limitation an
instrument of assumption hereof and thereof, and delivery to the Governmental Lender of an
opinion of such transferee’s counsel to the effect that each such document and this Regulatory
Agreement are valid, binding and enforceable obligations of such transferee, subject to
bankruptcy and other standard limitations affecting creditor’s rights; (C) receipt by the
Governmental Lender of an opinion of Tax Counsel to the effect that any such Transfer will not
adversely affect the Tax-Exempt status of interest on the Governmental Note; (D) receipt by the
Governmental Lender of all fees and/or expenses then currently due and payable to the
Governmental Lender by the Borrower under any of the Project Loan Documents; and (E)
receipt by the Governmental Lender of evidence of satisfaction of compliance with the
provisions of Section 29(d)(i) related to notice to CDLAC of transfer of the Project.
It is hereby expressly stipulated and agreed that any Transfer 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. The written consent of the Governmental Lender to any Transfer of the
Project shall constitute conclusive evidence that the Transfer is not in violation of this Section
12. 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 satisfy certain
conditions or obtain the prior written consent of such other party in order to Transfer the
Project. Upon any Transfer that complies with this Regulatory Agreement, the Borrower shall
be fully released from its obligations hereunder, but only to the extent such obligations have
been fully assumed in writing by the transferee of the Project.
-21-
The foregoing notwithstanding, the Project may be transferred pursuant to a foreclosure,
exercise of power of sale or deed in lieu of foreclosure or comparable conversion under any
deed of trust without the consent of the Governmental Lender or compliance with the
provisions of this Section 12. The Governmental Lender hereby approves the transfer of limited
partnership interests in the Borrower to affiliates of the investor limited partner of the Borrower,
including, without limitation, the transfer of membership interests in the Borrower from the
investor limited partner and non-managing membership interests in the limited partner of
Borrower.
For the Compliance Period, the Borrower shall not: (1) encumber any of the Project or
grant commercial leases of any part thereof, or permit the conveyance, transfer or encumbrance
of any part of the Project, except for (A) encumbrances permitted under the Continuing
Covenant Agreement and the Project Loan Agreement, or (B) a Transfer in accordance with the
terms of this Regulatory Agreement, in each case upon receipt by the Governmental Lender of
an opinion of Tax Counsel to the effect that such action will not adversely affect the Tax-Exempt
status of interest on the Governmental Note (provided that such opinion will not be required
with respect to any encumbrance, lease or transfer relating to a commercial operation or
ancillary facility that will be available for tenant use and is customary to the operation of
multifamily housing developments similar to 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 demolished or removed is replaced with comparable property or such demolition or
removal is otherwise permitted by the Project Loan Agreement; 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 Compliance
Period, it being expressly agreed and understood that the provisions hereof are intended to
survive the repayment of the Governmental Note and of the Project Loan and the termination of
the Project Loan Agreement.
The terms of this Regulatory Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the
requirements of 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 or other casualty, seizure, requisition, foreclosure or 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 such provisions, or
condemnation or a similar event, but only if, within a reasonable period, either (a) the Funding
Loan is fully repaid, fully cancelled or fully forgiven, or (b) amounts received as a consequence
of such event are used to provide a project that 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.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Regulatory Agreement, this Regulatory
Agreement may be terminated upon agreement by the Governmental Lender and the Borrower,
with the consent of CDLAC, upon receipt by the Governmental Lender of an opinion of Tax
-22-
Counsel to the effect that such termination will not adversely affect the exclusion from gross
income of interest on the Governmental Note for federal income tax purposes and is otherwise
permitted under the Act. 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 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 title 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 Governmental Note was 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 60 days after notice
thereof shall have been given by the Governmental Lender to the Borrower, or for a period of 60
days from the date the Borrower should, with reasonable diligence, have discovered such
default, then the Governmental Lender may 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 60 days, such default shall not constitute an Event of Default hereunder so long as (i) the
Borrower institutes corrective action within said 60 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 60 days will not adversely affect the Tax-Exempt status of interest on the
Governmental Note. The Governmental Lender 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 to insure compliance with the Act or the Code.
Following the declaration of an Event of Default hereunder, the Governmental Lender
may at its option and subject to the provisions of Section 7.06 of the Project Loan Agreement,
take any one or more of the following steps, in addition to all other remedies provided by law
or equity:
-23-
(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 that may be unlawful or in violation of
the rights of the Governmental Lender 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; and
(iv) order and direct the Borrower in writing to terminate the Manager and to
select a replacement Manager meeting the requirements hereof within 60 days of such
written direction, and to notify the Governmental Lender in writing of the identity of the
replacement Manager and certify that such replacement Manager satisfies the
requirements hereof.
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 this Regulatory Agreement 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.
It is acknowledged and agreed by the Borrower and the Governmental Lender that one
of the primary purposes of this Regulatory Agreement is to preserve the exclusion from gross
income for federal income tax purposes of interest on the Governmental Note. The Funding
Lender and the Servicer are hereby declared intended third party beneficiaries of this
Regulatory Agreement and shall be entitled to enforce the provisions hereof in the event of any
default hereunder.
The Governmental Lender hereby agrees that cure of any Event of Default made or
tendered by any partner of the Borrower shall be deemed to be a cure by the Borrower and shall
be accepted or rejected on the same basis as if made or tendered by the Borrower.
Section 18. [intentionally omitted]
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
in the real property records of the County, and in such other places as the Governmental Lender
may reasonably request. The Borrower shall 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 reasonably necessary, in the opinion of Tax
Counsel, 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 to the end that such transferee has notice of, and is bound by,
such restrictions, and, except in the case of a foreclosure or comparable involuntary conversion
-24-
of the Security Instrument), whereby the Funding Lender becomes the owner of the Project, to
obtain the agreement from any transferee to abide by all requirements and restrictions of this
Regulatory Agreement.
Section 20. Payment of Fees. Notwithstanding any prepayment of the Project Loan and
discharge of the Project Loan Agreement, the Borrower shall continue to pay (or, to the extent
allowed under the Code, shall prepay the present value at such time of) the fees of the
Governmental Lender as provided in this Section 20, unless such prepayment is made in
connection with a refunding of the Governmental Note.
The Borrower agrees to pay to the Governmental Lender (i) the Governmental Lender
Issuance Fee, which shall be paid on or before the Closing Date, (ii) the Governmental Lender
Annual Fee, which shall be payable commencing on the Closing Date and annually on each
January 1 thereafter, and continuing throughout the Compliance Period, and (iii) within 30 days
after receipt of request for payment thereof, all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the
Governmental Lender (not including salaries and wages of Governmental Lender employees)
related to the Governmental Note, the Project Loan, the other Financing Documents and the
Project and the financing thereof, including, without limitation, legal fees and expenses
incurred in connection with the interpretation, performance, enforcement or amendment of any
documents relating to the Project, the Governmental Note, the Project Loan or any of the other
Financing Documents.
In the event that the Qualified Project Period terminates prior to the termination of the
Compliance Period (other than by reason of the issuance of refunding bonds), and provided
that the conditions of this Section are satisfied, the Borrower shall thereafter and for the
remainder of the Compliance Period pay to the Governmental Lender annually in advance an
amount equal to $5,000.00. The full Governmental Lender Annual Fee shall continue to be
payable unless and until the Governmental Lender has confirmed receipt of all amounts then
due and payable in arrears by the Borrower to the Governmental Lender in connection with the
Project Loan, at which point the Governmental Lender Annual Fee shall become effective.
If the Borrower fails to make payment of the Governmental Lender Annual Fee for a
period of two consecutive years or more, the Governmental Lender may, in its sole discretion,
declare the total amount of the Governmental Lender Annual Fee through the end of the
Compliance Period immediately due and payable, such amount to be discounted at a rate equal
to the then current market rate for U.S. Treasury obligations of a maturity equal to the
remaining term of the Compliance Period.
Section 21. Governing Law; Venue. This Regulatory Agreement shall be construed in
accordance with and governed by the laws of the State applicable to contracts made and
performed in the State. This Regulatory Agreement shall be enforceable in the State, and any
action arising hereunder shall (unless waived by the Governmental Lender in writing) be filed
and maintained in the Superior Court of California, County of Contra Costa.
Section 22. Amendments; Waivers. (a) Except as provided in Section 8(a) and 29(e)
hereof, this Regulatory Agreement may be amended only by a written instrument executed by
the parties hereto or their successors in title, and duly recorded in the real property records of
the County, and only upon receipt by the Governmental Lender of an opinion from Tax
Counsel that such amendment will not adversely affect the Tax-Exempt status of interest on the
Governmental Note 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 to the extent
-25-
required, in the opinion of Tax Counsel, in order that interest on the Governmental Note
remains 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 proposed amendment
to Tax Counsel and a request that Tax Counsel render to the Governmental Lender an opinion
as to the effect of such proposed amendment upon the Tax-Exempt status of interest on the
Governmental Note. This provision shall not be subject to any provision 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.

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

provision or obligation to the contrary contained in this Regulatory Agreement, (i) the liability
of the Borrower under this Regulatory Agreement to any person or entity, including, but not
limited to, the Governmental Lender and its successors and assigns, is limited to the Borrower’s
interest in the Project and the amounts held in the funds and accounts created under the
Funding Loan Agreement or the Project Loan Agreement, or any rights of the Borrower under
-26-
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 any 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, this Regulatory Agreement,

other Project Loan Documents, any rights of the Borrower under the Project Loan Agreement

agents, heirs and personal representatives, as the case may be, in any action or proceeding
arising out of this Regulatory Agreement, the Project Loan Agreement and the other Project
Loan Documents 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, except to the extent provided in the Project Loan Agreement.
Section 27. Third-Party Beneficiaries. The Administrator, the Funding Lender, the
Servicer, the former owners of the 2003 Bonds and CDLAC are intended to be and shall each be
a third-party beneficiary of this Regulatory Agreement. The Administrator shall have the right
(but not the obligation) to enforce, separately or jointly with the Governmental Lender, 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 28. Property Management. The Borrower agrees that at all times the Project
shall be managed by a property manager (i) approved by the Governmental Lender in its
reasonable discretion and (ii) who 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 governmental requirements applicable to
such projects (the “Manager”). The Borrower shall submit to the Governmental Lender from
time to time such information about the background, experience and financial condition of any
existing or proposed Manager as the Governmental Lender may reasonably require to
determine whether such Manager meets the requirements for a Manager set forth herein. The
Governmental Lender reserves the right to conduct periodic reviews of the management
practices and of the Manager to determine if the Project is being operated and managed in
accordance with the requirements and standards of this Agreement. The Borrower agrees to
cooperate with the Governmental Lender in such reviews.
-27-
If the Governmental Lender determines in its reasonable judgment that the Project is not
being operated and managed in accordance with one or more of the material requirements or
standards of this Regulatory Agreement, the Governmental Lender may, subject to any
applicable provisions of the Project Loan Agreement, deliver notice to the Borrower (with a
copy to the Servicer) requesting replacement of the Manager, which notice shall state clearly the
reasons for such request. The Borrower agrees that, upon receipt of such notice, it shall within
60 days submit to the Governmental Lender a proposal to engage a new Manager meeting the
requirements of this Section 28. The Governmental Lender shall respond within 30 days to such
proposal or such approval shall be deemed given. Upon receipt of such consent or deemed
consent, the Borrower shall within 60 days terminate the existing Manager’s engagement and
engage the new Manager. If such proposal is denied by the Governmental Lender, the
Borrower agrees that upon receipt of notice of such denial, it shall within 60 days submit to the
Governmental Lender, a proposal to engage another new Manager meeting the requirements of
this Section 28, subject to the Governmental Lender’s consent pursuant to the terms hereof.
Section 29. Requirements of CDLAC. In addition to other requirements set forth herein
and to the extent not prohibited by the requirements set forth in Sections 4 through 6 hereof, the
Borrower hereby agrees to comply with each of the requirements of CDLAC set forth in this
Section 29, as follows:

required or otherwise provided by CDLAC from time to time, executed by an
authorized representative of the Borrower. The Certificate of Compliance II for
Qualified Residential Rental Projects shall be shall be prepared pursuant to the terms of
the CDLAC Conditions. Additionally, the Borrower will prepare and submit to the
Governmental Lender, a Certificate of Completion, in substantially the form required or
otherwise provided by CDLAC from time to time, executed by an authorized

completion of the rehabilitation of the Project. Following the submission of the
Certificate of Completion, the Borrower will prepare and submit to the Governmental

contained within this Regulatory Agreement, but referred to in the CDLAC Conditions
are the responsibility of the Borrower to report to the Governmental Lender.
(b) The Borrower acknowledges that the Governmental Lender and the
Administrator will monitor or cause to be monitored the Borrower’s compliance with
the terms of the CDLAC Conditions. The Borrower acknowledges that the
Governmental Lender will prepare and submit to CDLAC, not later than March 1 of
each year until the rehabilitation of the Project is completed, and on March 1 of every

three years thereafter until the end of the Compliance Period, a Self-Certification
Certificate in the form provided by CDLAC. The Borrower will cooperate fully with the
Governmental Lender in connection with such monitoring and reporting requirements.
(c) Except as otherwise provided in Section 13 of this Regulatory Agreement,
this Regulatory Agreement shall terminate on the date 55 years after (i) the date on

date on which the Project is otherwise placed in service.
(d) The Borrower shall notify CDLAC in writing of: (i) any change in ownership
of the Project, (ii) any change in the Governmental Lender, (iii) any change in the name
of the Project or the Manager; (iv) any material default under the Funding Loan

not limited to, such defaults associated with the Tax-Exempt status of the Governmental
Note, and the income and rental requirements as provided in Sections 4 and 6 hereof
and the CDLAC Conditions; or (v) termination of this Regulatory Agreement.
(e) CDLAC shall have the right, but not the obligation, to deliver revised
CDLAC Conditions to the Borrower after the Closing Date at any time that are not more
restrictive than the original CDLAC conditions; provided however, that: (i) any changes
in the terms and conditions of the CDLAC Conditions prior to the recordation against
the Project in the real property records of the County of a regulatory agreement between
the Borrower and the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee (“TCAC Regulatory
Agreement”) shall be limited to such changes as are necessary to correct any factual
errors or to otherwise conform the CDLAC Conditions to any change in facts or
circumstances applicable to the Borrower or the Project; and (ii) after recordation of the
TCAC Regulatory Agreement, any changes in the terms and conditions of the CDLAC
Conditions shall be limited to such changes as are necessary to conform Items 1, 6, 7, 10,
11, 12, 14, 15, 16, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26 and 37 of Exhibit A to the CDLAC
Conditions to any change in terms and conditions requested by Borrower and approved
by CDLAC. The Governmental Lender may, in its sole and absolute discretion, require
that the Borrower enter into an amendment to this Regulatory Agreement reflecting the
revised CDLAC Conditions, which amendment shall be executed by the parties hereto
or their successor in title and duly recorded in the real property records of the County.
The Borrower shall pay any costs and expenses in connection therewith and provide
CDLAC with a copy of that recorded amendment reflecting the revised CDLAC
Conditions.
Any of the foregoing requirements of the CDLAC contained in this Section 29 may be
expressly waived by CDLAC, in its sole discretion, in writing, but (i) no waiver by CDLAC of
any requirement of this Section 29 shall, or shall be deemed to, extend to or affect any other
provision of this Regulatory Agreement except to the extent the Governmental Lender has
received an opinion of Tax Counsel that any such provision is not required by the Act or the
Code and may be waived without adversely affecting the exclusion from gross income of
interest on the Governmental Note for federal income tax purposes; and (ii) any requirement of
this Section 29 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 with any such
requirement would cause interest on the Governmental Note to cease to be Tax-Exempt or to
the effect that compliance with such requirement would be in conflict with the Act, the Code or
any other State or federal law.
Section 30. Limited Liability of Governmental Lender. All obligations of the
Governmental Lender under this Regulatory Agreement are limited obligations, payable solely
-29-
and only from Project Loan proceeds and other amounts derived by the Governmental Lender
from the Project Loan or otherwise under the Project Loan Agreement.
Section 31. Conflict With Other Affordability Agreements. Notwithstanding any
provision in this Regulatory Agreement to the contrary, in the event of any conflict between the
provisions of this Regulatory Agreement and any other agreement that imposes affordability
requirements on the Project, including those referenced in Section 3(e) 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, 6, 7 and 29 of this Regulatory
Agreement are in any event satisfied. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a breach or default under
any agreement referenced in Section 3(e) hereof shall not, in itself, constitute a breach or a
default under this Regulatory Agreement.
Section 32. Annual Reporting Covenant. No later than January 31 of each calendar year
(commencing January 31, 2021), the Borrower, on behalf of the Governmental Lender, agrees to
provide to the California Debt and Investment Advisory Commission, by any method approved
by the California Debt and Investment Advisory Commission, with a copy to the Governmental
Lender, the annual report information required by section 8855(k)(1) of the California
Government Code with respect to the Governmental Note. This covenant shall remain in effect
until the later of the date (a) the Governmental Note is no longer outstanding or (b) the
proceeds of the Governmental Note have been fully spent.

to do any and all things and take any all actions, and execute and deliver any and all certificates,
agreements, and other documents which the officer may deem necessary or advisable in order to
consummate the lawful issuance and delivery of the Note in accordance with the Resolution.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No impact to the General Fund. At the closing for the Note, 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 Note. The Note 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 repayment of the Note.
BACKGROUND:
The recommended action is the adoption of Resolution 2020/7 by the Board of Supervisors, as the
legislative body of the County, authorizing the issuance of a multifamily housing revenue note, the
proceeds of which will be used to finance the acquisition and rehabilitation of Marina Heights
Apartments, a 200-unit residential housing development located at 2 Marina Boulevard in the City of
Pittsburg (the “Development”). The ownership entity for the development is Marina Heights
Apartments, LP (the "Borrower"), a California limited partnership that consists of an entity related to
Foundation for Affordable Housing as the managing general partner and an entity related to CREA as
the tax credit equity investor. On March 26, 2019, the Board of Supervisors approved the transfer of
ownership of Marina Heights Apartments to an entity related to the Foundation for Affordable Housing
(Resolution No. 2019/94), which will transfer the Development to the Borrower at the closing for the
Note.
Conservation and Development staff held a noticed public hearing on July 15, 2019 to permit interested
parties to comment on the proposed financing and the Development. No comments were received from
the public. The Board adopted Resolution No. 2019/509 on July 30, 2019 to authorize proceeding with
the issuance of the Note for the Development pursuant to Section 147(f) of the Internal Revenue Code
and the submittal of an application by the County for tax-exempt private activity bond authority from the
California Debt Limit Allocation Committee. On October 16, 2019, the California Debt Limit
Allocation Committee awarded the County authority to issue the Note in a maximum principal amount
of $40,000,000 through its Resolution No. 19-133.
The structure of the financing will be one note (the term “note” is interchangeable with “bond” as they
both evidence a borrowing). The County of Contra Costa, California Multifamily Housing Revenue
Note (Marina Heights Apartments) Series 2020 B (the “Note”) will be purchased by Capital One,
National Association (the “Funding Lender”) and the proceeds of the sale will be loaned by the County
to the Borrower to finance the acquisition and rehabilitation of the Development. The loan will be
assigned to Freddie Mac. In addition to the proceeds of the Note, the Development will be funded with
low income housing tax credits. The transaction is expected to close on or about January 31, 2020.
The Development will be one hundred percent affordable with 20 units affordable to households earning
at or below 50% area median income and 178 units at or below 60% area median income plus two
managers units. A Regulatory Agreement governing these affordability restrictions will be recorded
against the property and the current Regulatory Agreement (entered in 2004) will be terminated.
Pittsburg City Council approved the County's application for and issuance of the Note at its August 19,
2019 meeting.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Negative action would prevent the County from issuing the Multifamily Housing Revenue Note in order
to provide a loan to Marina Heights Apartments, LP to finance the acquisition and rehabilitation of
Marina Heights Apartments.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
The recommendation supports one or more of the following children's outcomes:
(1) Children Ready for and Succeeding in School;
(2) Children and Youth Healthy and Preparing for Productive Adulthood;
(3) Families that are Economically Self Sufficient;
(4) Families that are Safe, Stable and Nurturing; and
(5) Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families.

separate and identifiable from all other funds held by the Fiscal Agent. The Fiscal Agent shall, at
the written direction of an Authorized Officer of the Governmental Lender, and may, in its
discretion, establish such additional accounts within any Fund, and subaccounts within any of
the accounts, as the Governmental Lender or the Fiscal Agent may deem necessary or useful for
the purpose of identifying more precisely the sources of payments into and disbursements from
that Fund and its accounts, or for the purpose of complying with the requirements of the Code
relating to arbitrage, but the establishment of any such account or subaccount shall not alter or
modify any of the requirements of this Funding Loan Agreement with respect to a deposit or use
of money in the funds established hereunder, or result in commingling of funds not permitted
hereunder.
Section 4.02 Project Loan Fund.
(a) Deposit. The Fiscal Agent shall deposit the portion of the proceeds of the Funding
Loan remitted to it by the Title Company into the Project Account of the Project Loan Fund as
provided in Section 2.11(b) hereof. The Fiscal Agent shall deposit the Borrower Equity Deposit
into the Borrower Equity Account of the Project Loan Fund, as well as any additional amounts
delivered from time to time to the Fiscal Agent and directed by the Borrower or Servicer to be
deposited therein (excluding any proceeds of the Governmental Note), as provided in Section
2.11(c) hereof.
(b) Disbursements. Amounts on deposit in the Project Loan Fund shall be disbursed
from time to time by the Fiscal Agent for the purpose of paying Costs of the Project. In addition,
amounts in the Project Loan Fund shall be transferred to the Loan Prepayment Fund, the Rebate
Fund and the Borrower at the times and in the manner provided in subsection (e) of this Section
4.02.
(c) Transfers and Requisitions. The Fiscal Agent shall make disbursements from the
respective accounts of the Project Loan Fund for purposes described in subsection (b) of this
-20-
Section 4.02 only upon the receipt of Requisitions signed by an Authorized Officer of the
Borrower and countersigned by an Authorized Officer of the Servicer (signifying the consent to
the Requisition by the Servicer). The Fiscal Agent shall have no right or duty to determine
whether any requested disbursement from the Project Loan Fund complies with the terms,
conditions and provisions of the Continuing Covenant Agreement. The countersignature of the
Authorized Officer of the Servicer on a Requisition shall be deemed a certification and, insofar as
the Fiscal Agent and the Governmental Lender are concerned, constitute conclusive evidence,
that all of the terms, conditions and requirements of the Continuing Covenant Agreement
applicable to such disbursement have been fully satisfied or waived. The Fiscal Agent shall,
immediately upon each receipt of a completed Requisition signed by an Authorized Officer of the
Borrower and countersigned by an Authorized Officer of the Servicer, initiate procedures with
the provider of a Qualified Investment to make withdrawals as necessary to fund the Requisition.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no signature of an
Authorized Officer of the Borrower shall be required during any period in which a default has
occurred and is then continuing under the Loans or any Financing Document (notice of which
default has been given in writing by the Funding Lender Representative or the Servicer to the
Fiscal Agent and the Governmental Lender, and the Fiscal Agent shall be entitled to conclusively
rely on any such written notice as to the occurrence and continuation of such a default).
(d) If a Requisition signed by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower and
countersigned by an Authorized Officer of the Servicer or (as permitted hereunder) solely by an
Authorized Officer of the Servicer, is received by the Fiscal Agent, the requested disbursement
shall be paid by the Fiscal Agent as soon as practicable, but in no event later than three (3)
Business Days following receipt thereof by the Fiscal Agent. Upon final disbursement of all
amounts on deposit in the Project Loan Fund, including all interest accrued therein, the Fiscal
Agent shall close the Project Loan Fund.
(e) Immediately prior to any mandatory prepayment of the Funding Loan pursuant
to Section 3.01(b)(i) hereof, any amount then remaining in the Project Loan Fund shall, at the
written direction of the Funding Lender Representative, be transferred to the Loan Prepayment
Fund to pay amounts due on the Funding Loan, if any. In addition, any amount remaining in the
Project Account of the Project Loan Fund following completion of the rehabilitation of the Project
in accordance with the Continuing Covenant Agreement, evidenced by an instrument signed by
the Funding Lender Representative or the Servicer, shall be transferred to the Loan Prepayment
Fund and used to prepay the Funding Loan in accordance with Section 3.01(b)(ii) hereof, unless
the Fiscal Agent receives an opinion of Bond Counsel (which shall also be addressed to the
Funding Lender Representative) to the effect that a use of such money for other than prepayment
of the Funding Loan will not adversely affect the tax exempt status of the interest on the
Governmental Note; provided, that any amounts in the Project Account of the Project Loan Fund
in excess of the amount needed to fund the related prepayment of the Funding Loan shall be
transferred to the Rebate Fund. In the event there are funds remaining in the Borrower Equity
Account following completion of the rehabilitation of the Project in accordance with the
Continuing Covenant Agreement [IF APPLICABLE: and the Stabilization Requirements (as
defined in the Continuing Covenant Agreement)] have been satisfied, evidenced by an
instrument signed by the Funding Lender Representative, and provided no default by the
Borrower exists under this Funding Loan Agreement or any Project Loan Document, such funds
shall be paid by the Fiscal Agent to the Borrower at the written direction of the Funding Lender
Representative or the Servicer.
(f) Amounts on deposit in the Project Loan Fund shall be invested as provided in
Section 4.08 hereof. All Investment Income on amounts on deposit in the Project Loan Fund shall
be retained in and credited to and become a part of the amounts on deposit in the respective
-21-
account within the Project Loan Fund from which the funds were invested, and shall constitute
part of any transfers required by subsection (b) or (e) of this Section 4.02.
Section 4.03 Application of Revenues.
(a) All Revenues received by the Fiscal Agent shall be deposited by the Fiscal Agent,
promptly upon receipt thereof, to the Revenue Fund, except (i) the proceeds of the Funding Loan
received by the Fiscal Agent on the Delivery Date, which shall be applied in accordance with the
provisions of Section 2.11 hereof; (ii) as otherwise specifically provided in subsection (c) of this
Section 4.03 with respect to certain deposits into the Loan Prepayment Fund; (iii) with respect to
Investment Income to the extent required under the terms hereof to be retained in the funds and
accounts to which they are attributable; and (iv) with respect to amounts required to be
transferred between funds and accounts as provided in this Article IV.
(b) Subject to Section 2.12 hereof, on each Interest Payment Date or any other date on
which payment of principal of or interest on the Funding Loan becomes due and payable, the
Fiscal Agent, out of money in the Revenue Fund, shall credit the following amounts to the
following funds, but in the order and within the limitations hereinafter indicated with respect
thereto, as follows:
FIRST: to the Loan Payment Fund, an amount equal to the principal of and interest
due on the Funding Loan on such date (including scheduled principal pursuant to the
Funding Loan Amortization Schedule); and
SECOND: to the Loan Prepayment Fund, an amount equal to the principal
and interest due on the Funding Loan on such date with respect to a mandatory
prepayment of all or a portion of the Funding Loan pursuant to Section 3.01(b) hereof

below).
(c) Promptly upon receipt, the Fiscal Agent shall deposit directly to the Loan
Prepayment Fund (i) Net Proceeds representing casualty insurance proceeds or condemnation
awards paid as a prepayment of the Project Loan, such amount to be applied to provide for the
extraordinary mandatory prepayment of all or a portion of the Funding Loan pursuant to Section
3.01(b)(i) hereof; (ii) funds paid to the Fiscal Agent to be applied to the optional prepayment of
all of the Funding Loan pursuant to Section 3.01(a); and (iii) amounts transferred to the Loan
Prepayment Fund from the Project Loan Fund pursuant to Section 4.02(e) hereof.
(d) Subject to Section 2.12 hereof, should the amount in the Loan Payment Fund be
insufficient to pay the amount due on the Funding Loan on any given Interest Payment Date, the
Fiscal Agent shall credit to the Loan Payment Fund the amount of such deficiency by charging
the following funds and accounts in the following order of priority: (i) the Revenue Fund; and
(ii) the Loan Prepayment Fund, except no such charge to the Loan Prepayment Fund shall be
made from money to be used to effect a prepayment for which notice of prepayment has been
provided for hereunder.
Section 4.04 Application of Loan Payment Fund. Subject to Section 2.12 hereof, the
Fiscal Agent shall charge the Loan Payment Fund, on each Interest Payment Date, an amount
equal to the unpaid interest and principal due on the Funding Loan on such Interest Payment
Date as provided in Section 4.03(b), and shall cause the same to be applied to the payment of such
interest and principal when due. Any money remaining in the Loan Payment Fund on any
Interest Payment Date after application as provided in the preceding sentence may, to the extent
there shall exist any deficiency in the Loan Prepayment Fund to prepay the Funding Loan if called

be applied for such purpose.

deposited by the Fiscal Agent upon receipt thereof in the Revenue Fund.
No amount shall be charged against the Loan Payment Fund except as expressly provided

Section 4.05 Application of Loan Prepayment Fund. Any money credited to the Loan
Prepayment Fund shall be applied as set forth in Sections 4.03(b) and 4.03(c) hereof; provided,
however, that to the extent any money credited to the Loan Prepayment Fund is in excess of the
amount necessary to effect the prepayments described in Sections 4.03(b) and 4.03(c) hereof it
shall be applied to make up any deficiency in the Loan Payment Fund on any Interest Payment
Date, to the extent money then available in accordance with Section 4.03(d) hereof in the Revenue
Fund is insufficient to make up such deficiency; provided that no money to be used to effect a
prepayment for which a notice of prepayment has been provided shall be so transferred to the
Loan Payment Fund.
On or before each Interest Payment Date, any Investment Income on amounts on deposit
in the Loan Prepayment Fund shall be credited by the Fiscal Agent to the Revenue Fund.
No amount shall be charged against the Loan Prepayment Fund except as expressly
provided in this Article IV and in Section 6.05 hereof.
Section 4.06 Administration Fund. Subject to Section 2.12 hereof, the Fiscal Agent shall
deposit into the Administration Fund, promptly upon receipt thereof, all amounts received from
the Servicer (or the Borrower if no Servicer exists for the Loans) designated for deposit into such
fund. Amounts in the Administration Fund shall be withdrawn or maintained, as appropriate,
by the Fiscal Agent and used FIRST, to pay to the Fiscal Agent when due the Ordinary Fiscal
Agent’s Fees and Expenses; SECOND, to pay to the Governmental Lender when due the
Governmental Lender Fee; THIRD, to pay when due the reasonable fees and expenses of a Rebate
Analyst in connection with the computations relating to arbitrage rebate required under this
Funding Loan Agreement and the Project Loan Agreement, upon receipt of an invoice from the

up any deficiency in the Loan Prepayment Fund on any prepayment date of the Funding Loan,
to the extent money then available in accordance with Section 4.03(d) hereof in the Loan
Prepayment Fund is insufficient to prepay the Funding Loan scheduled for prepayment on such
prepayment date; and EIGHTH, to transfer any remaining balance after application as aforesaid
to the Revenue Fund.
In the event that the amounts on deposit in the Administration Fund are not equal to the
amounts payable from the Administration Fund as provided in the preceding paragraph on any
date on which such amounts are due and payable, the Fiscal Agent shall give notice to the
Borrower and the Servicer (with a copy to the Governmental Lender) of such deficiency and of
the amount of such deficiency and request payment within two (2) Business Days to the Fiscal
Agent of the amount of such deficiency. Upon payment by the Borrower or the Servicer of such
-23-
deficiency, the amounts for which such deficiency was requested shall be paid by the Fiscal
Agent.
On or before each Interest Payment Date, any Investment Income on amounts on deposit
in the Administration Fund not needed to pay the foregoing amounts shall be credited by the

Section 4.07 [Reserved].
Section 4.08 Investment of Funds. The money held by the Fiscal Agent shall constitute
trust funds for the purposes hereof. Any money attributable to each of the funds and accounts
hereunder shall be, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, invested by the Fiscal Agent,
at the written direction of the Borrower (or, in the case of the Rebate Fund, as provided in Section
5.07(b)), in Qualified Investments which mature or shall be subject to prepayment or withdrawal
at par without penalty on or prior to the earlier of (i) six months from the date of investment and
(ii) the date such money is needed; provided, that if the Fiscal Agent shall have entered into any
investment agreement requiring investment of money in any fund or account hereunder in
accordance with such investment agreement and if such investment agreement constitutes a
Qualified Investment, such money shall be invested in accordance with such requirements. In
the absence of written direction from the Borrower, the Fiscal Agent shall invest amounts on
deposit in the funds and accounts established under this Funding Loan Agreement in
Government Obligations or in investments of the type described in subparagraph (g) of the
definition of Qualified Investments which shall have the same maturity and other restrictions as
set forth above. Such investments may be made through the investment or securities department
of the Fiscal Agent. The Fiscal Agent may purchase from or sell to itself or an affiliate, as principal
or agent, securities herein authorized. The Fiscal Agent shall be entitled to assume, absent receipt
by the Fiscal Agent of written notice to the contrary, that any investment which at the time of
purchase is a Qualified Investment remains a Qualified Investment thereafter.
Qualified Investments representing an investment of money attributable to any fund or
account shall be deemed at all times to be a part of said fund or account, and, except as otherwise
may be provided expressly in other Sections hereof, the interest thereon and any profit arising on
the sale thereof shall be credited to the Revenue Fund, and any loss resulting on the sale thereof
shall be charged against the Revenue Fund. Such investments shall be sold at the best price
obtainable (at least par) whenever it shall be necessary so to do in order to provide money to
make any transfer, withdrawal, payment or disbursement from said fund or account. In the case
of any required transfer of money to another such fund or account, such investments may be
transferred to that fund or account in lieu of the required money if permitted hereby as an
investment of money in that fund or account. The Fiscal Agent shall not be liable or responsible
for any loss resulting from any investment made in accordance herewith.
The Governmental Lender acknowledges that to the extent that regulations of the
Comptroller of the Currency or other applicable regulatory agency grant the Governmental
Lender the right to receive brokerage confirmations of the security transactions as they occur, to
the extent permitted by law, the Governmental Lender specifically waives compliance with 12
C.F.R. 12 and hereby notifies the Fiscal Agent hereunder, that no brokerage confirmations need
be sent relating to the security transactions as they occur.
In computing for any purpose hereunder the amount in any fund or account on any date,
obligations so purchased shall be valued at Fair Market Value.

full payment of the fees, charges and expenses of the Governmental Lender, the Fiscal Agent, the
Rebate Analyst, the Funding Lender and the Servicer and other amounts required to be paid
hereunder or under any Project Loan Document, including, but not limited to, the Continuing
Covenant Agreement (as certified in writing to the Fiscal Agent by the Governmental Lender
with respect to amounts due to the Governmental Lender and by the Funding Lender
Representative or the Servicer on its behalf with respect to amounts owed under the Continuing
Covenant Agreement and by the Rebate Analyst with respect to amounts due to the Rebate
Analyst), any amounts remaining in any fund or account hereunder other than the Rebate Fund
shall be paid to the Borrower.
Section 4.12 Rebate Fund; Compliance with Tax Certificate. The Rebate Fund shall be
established by the Fiscal Agent and held and applied as provided in this Section 4.12. On any
date on which any amounts are required by applicable federal tax law to be rebated to the federal
government, amounts shall be deposited into the Rebate Fund by the Borrower for such purpose.
All money at any time deposited in the Rebate Fund shall be held by the Fiscal Agent in trust, to
the extent required to satisfy the rebate requirement (as set forth in the Tax Certificate) and as
calculated by the Rebate Analyst, for payment to the government of the United States of America,
and none of the Governmental Lender, the Borrower or the Funding Lender shall have any rights
in or claim to such money. All amounts deposited into or on deposit in the Rebate Fund shall be
governed by this Section 4.12 and by the Tax Certificate. The Fiscal Agent shall conclusively be
deemed to have complied with such provisions if it follows the written instructions of the
Governmental Lender, Bond Counsel or the Rebate Analyst, including supplying all necessary
information in the manner set forth in the Tax Certificate, and shall not be required to take any
actions under the Tax Certificate in the absence of written instructions from the Governmental
Lender, Bond Counsel or the Rebate Analyst.
Within 55 days of the end of each fifth Rebate Year, the Borrower shall cause the Rebate
Analyst to calculate the amount of rebatable arbitrage, in accordance with Section 148(f)(2) of the
Code and Section 1.148 3 of the Treasury Regulations (taking into account any exceptions with
respect to the computation of the rebatable arbitrage, described, if applicable, in the Tax
Certificate (e.g., the temporary investments exceptions of Section 148(f)(4)(B) and (C) of the
Code)), for this purpose treating the last day of the applicable Rebate Year as a (computation)
date, within the meaning of Section 1.148 1(b) of the Treasury Regulations (the “Rebatable
Arbitrage”). Pursuant to Section 2.04 of the Project Loan Agreement, the Borrower shall cause
the Rebate Analyst to provide such calculations to the Fiscal Agent and the Governmental Lender.
In the event that the Borrower fails to provide such information to the Fiscal Agent and the
Governmental Lender within 55 days of the end of each fifth Rebate Year, the Fiscal Agent, at the
expense of the Borrower, shall select the Rebate Analyst, with the prior written approval of the
Governmental Lender, and shall cause the Rebate Analyst to calculate the amount of rebatable
arbitrage as required herein.
Within 55 days of the end of each fifth Rebate Year, upon the written direction of the
Governmental Lender, Bond Counsel or the Rebate Analyst, an amount shall be deposited to the
Rebate Fund by the Fiscal Agent from amounts provided by the Borrower, if and to the extent
-25-
required so that the balance in the Rebate Fund shall equal the amount of Rebatable Arbitrage so
calculated in accordance with the preceding paragraph.
The Fiscal Agent shall pay, as directed by the Rebate Analyst, to the United States
Department of the Treasury, out of amounts in the Rebate Fund:
(i) Not later than 60 days after the end of (A) the fifth Rebate Year, and (B)
each applicable fifth Rebate Year thereafter, an amount equal to at least 90% of the
Rebatable Arbitrage calculated as of the end of such Rebate Year; and
(ii) Not later than 60 days after the payment in whole of the Funding Loan, an
amount equal to 100% of the Rebatable Arbitrage calculated as of the end of such
applicable Rebate Year, and any income attributable to the Rebatable Arbitrage, computed
in accordance with Section 148(f) of the Code.
Each payment required to be made under this Section shall be made to the Internal
Revenue Service Center, Ogden, Utah 84201 (or such other address provided in such direction),
on or before the date on which such payment is due, and shall be accompanied by Internal
Revenue Service Form 8038 T, which shall be prepared by the Rebate Analyst and provided to
the Fiscal Agent.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Funding Loan Agreement to the contrary, the
obligation to remit payment of the Rebatable Arbitrage to the United States of America and to
comply with all other requirements of Sections 2.04 and 4.03 of the Project Loan Agreement and
this Section 4.12, and the requirements of the Tax Certificate shall survive the defeasance or
payment in full of the Funding Loan.
Any funds remaining in the Rebate Fund after payment in full of the Funding Loan and
payment and satisfaction of any Rebate Requirement, or provision made therefor satisfactory to
the Fiscal Agent, shall be withdrawn and remitted to the Borrower.
The Fiscal Agent shall obtain and keep such records of the computations made pursuant
to this Section 4.12 as are required under Section 148(f) of the Code to the extent furnished to the
Fiscal Agent. The Borrower shall or shall cause the Rebate Analyst to provide to the
Governmental Lender and the Fiscal Agent copies of all rebate computations made pursuant to
this Section 4.12. The Fiscal Agent shall keep and make available to the Borrower such records
concerning the investments of the gross proceeds of the Funding Loan and the investments of
earnings from those investments made by the Fiscal Agent as may be requested by the Borrower
in order to enable the Borrower to cause the Rebate Analyst to make the aforesaid computations
as are required under Section 148(f) of the Code.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the computations and payments of Rebatable Arbitrage
need not be made to the extent that neither the Governmental Lender nor the Borrower will
thereby fail to comply with any requirements of Section 148(f) of the Code based on an opinion
of Bond Counsel, to the effect that such failure will not adversely affect the exclusion from gross
income for federal income tax purposes of interest on the Governmental Note, a copy of which
shall be provided to the Fiscal Agent and the Funding Lender Representative, at the expense of
the Borrower.
Section 4.13 Cost of Issuance Fund. The Fiscal Agent shall use money on deposit to the
credit of the Cost of Issuance Fund to pay the costs of issuance on the Delivery Date or as soon as
practicable thereafter in accordance with one or more Requisitions in the form of Exhibit D to be
given to the Fiscal Agent by the Borrower on the Delivery Date, along with appropriate invoices
-26-
for such expenses. Amounts in the Cost of Issuance Fund funded with proceeds of the Funding
Loan, if any, shall be expended prior to the application of the Costs of Issuance Deposit.
Investment Income on amounts on deposit in the Cost of Issuance Fund shall be retained in such
fund. Amounts remaining on deposit in the Cost of Issuance Fund six (6) months after the
Delivery Date shall be transferred to the Borrower. Upon such final disbursement, the Fiscal
Agent shall close the Cost of Issuance Fund.
Section 4.14 Reports From the Fiscal Agent. The Fiscal Agent shall, on or before the
fifteenth (15th) day of each month, file with the Funding Lender Representative, the Servicer, the
Governmental Lender (at its written request) and the Borrower a statement setting forth in respect
of the preceding calendar month:

Funding Loan Agreement, including the amount of investment income on each fund and

fund and account;

Governmental Lender may reasonably request and to which the Fiscal Agent has access
in the ordinary course of its operations.
Upon the written request of the Funding Lender, the Fiscal Agent, at the cost of the
Borrower, shall provide a copy of such statement to Funding Lender. All records and files
pertaining to the Pledged Security shall be open at all reasonable times to the inspection of the
Governmental Lender and the Funding Lender Representative or the Servicer and their agents
and representatives upon reasonable prior notice during normal business hours.

Funding Loan, to all funds and accounts created under this Funding Loan Agreement and all
money on deposit to the credit of any such fund or account). The Fiscal Agent covenants to and
for the benefit of the Funding Lender that, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Funding
Loan Agreement or of any other Financing Document, it will not knowingly make or cause to be
made any investment or other use of the money in the funds or accounts created hereunder which
would cause the Governmental Note to be classified as an “arbitrage bond” within the meaning
of Sections 103(b) and 148 of the Code or would cause the interest on the Governmental Note to
be includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes; provided that the Fiscal Agent
shall be deemed to have complied with such requirements and shall have no liability to the extent
it reasonably follows the written directions of the Borrower, the Governmental Lender, the
Funding Lender Representative, Bond Counsel or the Rebate Analyst. This covenant shall extend,
throughout the term of the Funding Loan, to all funds created under this Funding Loan
Agreement and all money on deposit to the credit of any such fund. Pursuant to this covenant,
with respect to the investments of the funds and accounts under this Funding Loan Agreement,
the Fiscal Agent obligates itself to comply throughout the term of the Funding Loan with the
requirements of Sections 103(b) and 148 of the Code; provided that the Fiscal Agent shall be
deemed to have complied with such requirements and shall have no liability to the extent it
reasonably follows the written directions of the Borrower, the Governmental Lender, Bond
Counsel or the Rebate Analyst. The Fiscal Agent further covenants that should the Governmental
Lender or the Borrower file with the Fiscal Agent (it being understood that neither the
Governmental Lender nor the Borrower has an obligation to so file), or should the Fiscal Agent
receive, an opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that any proposed investment or other use of
proceeds of the Funding Loan would cause the Governmental Note to become an “arbitrage
bond,” then the Fiscal Agent will comply with any written instructions of the Governmental
Lender, the Borrower, the Funding Lender Representative or Bond Counsel regarding such
investment (which shall, in any event, be a Qualified Investment) or use so as to prevent the
Governmental Note from becoming an “arbitrage bond,” and the Fiscal Agent will bear no
liability to the Governmental Lender, the Borrower, the Funding Lender or the Funding Lender
Representative for investments made in accordance with such instructions.
Section 5.08 Representations and Warranties of the Governmental Lender. The
Governmental Lender hereby represents and warrants as follows:
(a) The Governmental Lender is a public body, corporate and politic, duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State.
(b) The Governmental Lender has all necessary power and authority to issue
the Governmental Note and to execute and deliver this Funding Loan Agreement, the
Project Loan Agreement and the other Financing Documents to which it is a party, and to
perform its duties and discharge its obligations hereunder and thereunder.
-30-
(c) The Revenues and Pledged Security are and will be free and clear of any
pledge, lien or encumbrance prior to, or equal with, the pledge created by this Funding
Loan Agreement, and all action on the part of the Governmental Lender requested to be
taken by the Funding Lender to that end has been duly and validly taken.
(d) This Funding Loan Agreement, the Project Loan Agreement, the Tax
Regulatory Agreement, the Assignment and the endorsement to the Project Note have
been validly authorized, executed and delivered by the Governmental Lender, and
assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties thereto,
constitute valid and binding obligations of the Governmental Lender, enforceable against
the Governmental Lender in accordance with their respective terms, except as
enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or other laws
affecting creditors’ rights generally and the application of equitable principles.
THE GOVERNMENTAL LENDER MAKES NO REPRESENTATION, COVENANT OR
AGREEMENT AS TO THE FINANCIAL POSITION OR BUSINESS CONDITION OF THE
BORROWER OR THE PROJECT, AND DOES NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT AS TO ANY
STATEMENTS, MATERIALS, REPRESENTATIONS OR CERTIFICATIONS FURNISHED BY
THE BORROWER IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROJECT LOAN OR AS TO THE
CORRECTNESS, COMPLETENESS OR ACCURACY THEREOF.
ARTICLE VI
DEFAULT PROVISIONS AND REMEDIES OF FISCAL AGENT AND FUNDING LENDER
Section 6.01 Events of Default. Each of the following shall be an event of default with
respect to the Funding Loan (an “Event of Default”) under this Funding Loan Agreement:
(a) failure to pay the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Funding
Loan when due, whether on an Interest Payment Date, at the stated maturity thereof, by
proceedings for prepayment thereof, by acceleration or otherwise; or
(b) failure to observe the covenants set forth in Section 5.05 hereof; or
(c) failure to observe or perform any of the covenants, agreements or
conditions on the part of the Governmental Lender (other than those set forth in Sections
5.01 and 5.05 hereof) set forth in this Funding Loan Agreement or in the Governmental
Note and the continuance thereof for a period of thirty (30) days (or such longer period, if
any, as is specified herein for particular defaults) after written notice thereof to the
Governmental Lender from the Fiscal Agent or the Funding Lender Representative
specifying such default and requiring the same to be remedied; provided that if such
default cannot be cured within such thirty (30) day period through the exercise of
diligence and the Governmental Lender commences the required cure within such thirty
(30) day period and continues the cure with diligence and the Governmental Lender
reasonably anticipates that the default could be cured within sixty (60) days, the
Governmental Lender shall have sixty (60) days following receipt of such notice to effect
the cure; or
(d) receipt by the Fiscal Agent of written notice from the Funding Lender
Representative of the occurrence of an “Event of Default” under the Project Loan
Agreement or the Continuing Covenant Agreement.
-31-
The Fiscal Agent will promptly notify the Governmental Lender, the Servicer and the
Funding Lender Representative after a Responsible Officer obtains actual knowledge of the
occurrence of an Event of Default or obtains actual knowledge of the occurrence of an event which
would become an Event of Default with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both.
Section 6.02 Acceleration; Other Remedies Upon Event of Default.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Fiscal Agent shall, upon the written
request of the Funding Lender Representative, by notice in writing delivered to the Governmental
Lender, declare the principal of the Funding Loan and the interest accrued thereon immediately
due and payable, and interest shall continue to accrue thereon until such amounts are paid.
At any time after the Funding Loan shall have been so declared due and payable, and
before any judgment or decree for the payment of the money due shall have been obtained or
entered, the Fiscal Agent may, but only if directed in writing by the Funding Lender
Representative, by written notice to the Governmental Lender and the Fiscal Agent, rescind and
annul such declaration and its consequences if the Governmental Lender or the Borrower shall
pay to or deposit with the Fiscal Agent a sum sufficient to pay all principal on the Funding Loan
then due (other than solely by reason of such declaration) and all unpaid installments of interest
(if any) on the Funding Loan then due, with interest at the rate borne by the Funding Loan on
such overdue principal and (to the extent legally enforceable) on such overdue installments of
interest, and the reasonable fees and expenses of the Fiscal Agent (including its counsel) shall
have been made good or cured or adequate provision shall have been made therefor, and all
outstanding amounts then due and unpaid under the Financing Documents (collectively, the
“Cure Amount”) shall have been paid in full, and all other defaults hereunder shall have been
made good or cured or waived in writing by the Funding Lender Representative; but no such
rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default, nor shall it impair
or exhaust any right or power consequent thereon.
Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Fiscal Agent
in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, on behalf and for the benefit and protection of
the Funding Lender, may also proceed to protect and enforce any rights of the Fiscal Agent and,
to the full extent that the Funding Lender itself might do, the rights of the Funding Lender under
the laws of the State or under this Funding Loan Agreement by such of the following remedies
as the Fiscal Agent shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce such rights; provided that,
the Fiscal Agent may undertake any such remedy only upon the receipt of the prior written
consent of the Funding Lender Representative (which consent may be given in the sole discretion
of the Funding Lender Representative):
(i) by mandamus or other suit, action or proceeding at law or in equity, to
enforce the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Funding Loan
and to require the Governmental Lender to carry out any covenants or agreements with
or for the benefit of the Funding Lender and to perform its duties under the Act, this
Funding Loan Agreement, the Project Loan Agreement or the Tax Regulatory Agreement
(as applicable) to the extent permitted under the applicable provisions thereof;
(ii) by pursuing any available remedies under the Project Loan Agreement, the
Tax Regulatory Agreement or any other Financing Document;
(iii) by realizing or causing to be realized through sale or otherwise upon the
security pledged hereunder; and
-32-
(iv) by action or suit in equity enjoin any acts or things that may be unlawful
or in violation of the rights of the Funding Lender and execute any other papers and
documents and do and perform any and all such acts and things as may be necessary or
advisable in the opinion of the Fiscal Agent in order to have the claim of the Funding
Lender against the Governmental Lender allowed in any bankruptcy or other proceeding.
No remedy by the terms of this Funding Loan Agreement conferred upon or reserved to
the Fiscal Agent or to the Funding Lender is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, but
each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to any other remedy
given to the Fiscal Agent or the Funding Lender hereunder or under the Project Loan Agreement,
the Tax Regulatory Agreement, the Continuing Covenant Agreement or any other Financing
Document, as applicable, 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 Event of Default shall impair any
such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Event of Default or
acquiescence therein, and every such right and power may be exercised from time to time and as
often as may be deemed expedient. No waiver of any Event of Default hereunder, whether by
the Fiscal Agent or the Funding Lender, shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default or
event of default or shall impair any rights or remedies consequent thereto.
Section 6.03 Funding Lender Representative Control of Proceedings. If an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the
Funding Lender Representative shall have the sole and exclusive right at any time to direct the
time, method and place of conducting all proceedings to be taken in connection with the
enforcement of the terms and conditions of this Funding Loan Agreement, or for the appointment
of a receiver or any other proceedings hereunder, in accordance with the provisions of law and
of this Funding Loan Agreement. In addition, the Funding Lender Representative shall have the
sole and exclusive right at any time to directly enforce all rights and remedies hereunder and
under the other Financing Documents with or without the involvement of the Fiscal Agent or the
Governmental Lender (and in connection therewith the Fiscal Agent shall transfer or assign to
the Funding Lender Representative all of its interest in the Pledged Security at the request of the
Funding Lender Representative other than the rights of the Fiscal Agent to be paid all amounts
due to the Fiscal Agent for Extraordinary Fiscal Agent’s Fees and Expenses and Ordinary Fiscal
Agent’s Fees and Expenses). In no event shall the exercise of any of the foregoing rights result in
an acceleration of the Funding Loan without the express direction of the Funding Lender
Representative.
Section 6.04 Waiver by Governmental Lender. Upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default, to the extent that such right may then lawfully be waived, neither the Governmental
Lender nor anyone claiming through or under it shall set up, claim or seek to take advantage of
any appraisal, valuation, stay, extension or prepayment laws now or hereinafter in force, in order
to prevent or hinder the enforcement of this Funding Loan Agreement; and the Governmental
Lender, for itself and all who may claim through or under it, hereby waives, to the extent that it
lawfully may do so, the benefit of all such laws and all right of appraisement and prepayment to
which it may be entitled under the laws of the State and the United States of America.
Section 6.05 Application of Money After Default. All money collected by the Fiscal
Agent at any time pursuant to this Article shall, except to the extent, if any, otherwise directed by
a court of competent jurisdiction, be credited by the Fiscal Agent to the Revenue Fund. Such
money so credited to the Revenue Fund and all other money from time to time credited to the
Revenue Fund shall at all times be held, transferred, withdrawn and applied as prescribed by the
provisions of Article IV hereof and this Section 6.05.
-33-
In the event that at any time the money credited to the Revenue Fund, the Loan Payment
Fund and the Loan Prepayment Fund available for the payment of interest or principal then due
with respect to the Governmental Note shall be insufficient for such payment, such money shall
be applied as follows and in the following order of priority:
(a) For payment of all amounts due to the Fiscal Agent incurred in
performance of its duties under this Funding Loan Agreement, including, without
limitation, the payment of all reasonable fees and expenses of the Fiscal Agent incurred in
exercising any remedies under this Funding Loan Agreement.
(b) To the extent directed in writing by the Funding Lender Representative, to
the reimbursement of any unreimbursed advances made by or on behalf of the Funding
Lender pursuant to the Continuing Covenant Agreement or the Security Instrument.
(c) Unless the full principal amount of the Funding Loan shall have become or
have been declared due and payable:
FIRST: to the Funding Lender, all installments of interest then due on the
Funding Loan in the order of the maturity of such installments; and
SECOND: to the Funding Lender, unpaid principal of and premium, if any,
on the Funding Loan which shall have become due, whether at maturity or by call
for prepayment, in the order in which they became due and payable.
(d) If the full principal amount of the Governmental Note shall have become
or have been declared due and payable, to the Funding Lender for the payment of the
principal of, premium, if any, and interest then due and unpaid on the Funding Loan
without preference or priority of principal over interest or of interest over principal, or of
any installment of interest over any other installment of interest.
Section 6.06 Remedies Not Exclusive. No right or remedy conferred upon or reserved
to the Fiscal Agent, the Funding Lender or the Funding Lender Representative by the terms of
this Funding Loan Agreement is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, but each
and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right or remedy
given to the Fiscal Agent, the Funding Lender or the Funding Lender Representative under this
Funding Loan Agreement or existing at law or in equity or by statute (including the Act).
Section 6.07 Fiscal Agent May Enforce Rights Without Governmental Note. All rights
of action and claims, including the right to file proof of claims, under this Funding Loan
Agreement may be prosecuted and enforced by the Fiscal Agent at the written direction of the
Funding Lender Representative without the possession of the Governmental Note or the
production thereof in any trial or other proceedings relating thereto. Subject to the rights of the
Funding Lender Representative to direct proceedings hereunder, any such suit or proceeding
instituted by the Fiscal Agent shall be brought in its name as Fiscal Agent without the necessity
of joining as plaintiffs or defendants any Funding Lender, and any recovery or judgment shall be
for the benefit as provided herein of the Funding Lender.
Section 6.08 [Reserved].
Section 6.09 Termination of Proceedings. In case the Fiscal Agent (at the direction of
the Funding Lender Representative) or the Funding Lender Representative shall have proceeded
to enforce any right under this Funding Loan Agreement by the appointment of a receiver, by
entry or otherwise, and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any
-34-
reason, or shall have been determined adversely, then and in every such case the Governmental
Lender, the Fiscal Agent, the Funding Lender Representative, the Borrower and the Funding
Lender shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the
Pledged Security herein conveyed, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Fiscal Agent and
the Funding Lender Representative shall continue as if no such proceedings had been taken.
Section 6.10 Waivers of Events of Default. The Fiscal Agent shall waive any Event of
Default hereunder and its consequences and rescind any declaration of maturity of principal of
and interest on the Funding Loan upon the written direction of the Funding Lender
Representative. In case of any such waiver or rescission, or in case any proceeding taken by the
Fiscal Agent on account of any such Event of Default shall have been discontinued or abandoned
or determined adversely, then and in every such case the Governmental Lender, the Fiscal Agent,
the Borrower, the Servicer, the Funding Lender Representative and the Funding Lender shall be
restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively, but no such waiver or
rescission shall extend to any subsequent or other default, or impair any right consequent thereto.
Section 6.11 Interest on Unpaid Amounts and Default Rate for Nonpayment. In the
event that principal of or interest payable on the Funding Loan is not paid when due, there shall
be payable on the amount not timely paid, on each Interest Payment Date, interest at the Default
Rate, to the extent permitted by law. Interest on the Funding Loan shall accrue at the Default
Rate until the unpaid amount, together with interest thereon, shall have been paid in full.
Section 6.12 Assignment of Project Loan; Remedies Under the Project Loan.
(a) The Funding Lender Representative shall have the right, with respect to the Project
Loan, in its sole and absolute discretion, without directing the Fiscal Agent to effect an
acceleration of the Funding Loan, to instruct the Fiscal Agent in writing to assign the Project Note,
the Security Instrument and the other Project Loan Documents to the Funding Lender
Representative, in which event the Fiscal Agent shall (a) endorse and deliver the Project Note to
the Funding Lender Representative and assign (in recordable form) the Security Instrument, (b)
execute and deliver to the Funding Lender Representative all documents prepared by the
Funding Lender Representative necessary to assign (in recordable form) all other Project Loan
Documents to the Funding Lender Representative and (c) execute all such documents prepared
by the Funding Lender Representative as are necessary to legally and validly effectuate the
assignments provided for in the preceding clauses (a) and (b). The Fiscal Agent’s assignments to
the Funding Lender Representative pursuant to this Section 6.12 shall be without recourse or
warranty except that the Fiscal Agent shall represent and warrant in connection therewith (A)
that the Fiscal Agent has not previously endorsed or assigned any such documents or instruments
and (B) that the Fiscal Agent has the corporate authority to endorse and assign such documents
and instruments and such endorsements and assignments have been duly authorized.
(b) The Funding Lender Representative shall have the right, in its own name or on
behalf of the Governmental Lender or the Fiscal Agent, to declare any default and exercise any
remedies under the Project Loan Agreement, the Project Note or the Security Instrument, whether
or not the Governmental Note has been accelerated or declared due and payable by reason of an
Event of Default or the occurrence of a mandatory prepayment.
Section 6.13 Substitution. Upon receipt of written notice from the Funding Lender
Representative and the approval of the Governmental Lender in connection with a transfer of
ownership of the Project and to the extent permitted under, and subject in any event to the
provisions of, Section 12 of the Tax Regulatory Agreement, the Fiscal Agent shall exchange the
Project Note and the Security Instrument for a new Project Note and Security Instrument,
evidencing and securing a new loan (the “New Project Loan”), which may be executed by a
-35-
person other than the Borrower or owner of the Project (the “New Borrower”), provided that if
the Fiscal Agent, the Funding Lender or a nominee of the Fiscal Agent or the Funding Lender has
acquired the Project through foreclosure, by accepting a deed in lieu of foreclosure or by
comparable conversion of the Project, no approval from the Governmental Lender of such
exchange shall be required. Prior to accepting a New Project Loan, the Fiscal Agent shall have
received (i) written evidence that the New Borrower shall have executed and recorded a
document substantially in the form of the Tax Regulatory Agreement (or executed and recorded
an assumption of all of the Borrower’s obligations under the Tax Regulatory Agreement) and that
the Project Loan Documents have been modified as necessary to be applicable to the New Project
Loan, (ii) an opinion of Bond Counsel, to the effect that such exchange and modification, in and
of itself, shall not affect the exclusion, from gross income, for federal income tax purposes of the
interest payable on the Governmental Note and (iii) written confirmation by the Governmental
Lender that any applicable requirements of Section 12 of the Tax Regulatory Agreement have
been satisfied.

stating that a default or Event of Default has occurred and specifying the same, and in the absence
of such notice the Fiscal Agent may conclusively assume that there is no such default. Every

connection with any such claim or proceeding brought thereon; except that the Borrower shall
not be required to indemnify any person for damages caused by the gross negligence, willful
misconduct or unlawful acts of such person or which arise from events occurring after the
Borrower ceases to own the Project. In the event that any action or proceeding is brought or claim
made against the Fiscal Agent, or any of its officers, directors, officials, employees, agents,
receivers, attorneys, accountants, advisors, consultants or servants, with respect to which
indemnity may be sought hereunder, the Borrower, upon written notice thereof from the
indemnified party, shall assume the investigation and defense thereof, including the employment
of counsel and the payment of all expenses. The indemnified party shall have the right to approve
a settlement to which it is a party and to employ separate counsel in any such action or
proceedings and to participate in the investigation and defense thereof, and the Borrower shall
pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel. The provisions of this Section 7.06
shall survive the termination of this Funding Loan Agreement.

has such combined capital and surplus), and be subject to supervision or examination by federal
or state authority, or shall have been appointed by a court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to
Section 7.11 hereof. If such association or corporation publishes reports of condition at least
annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of any supervising or examining authority
referred to above, then for the purposes of this Section 7.07, the combined capital and surplus of
such association or corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth
in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any time the Fiscal Agent shall cease
to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.07 and another association or
corporation is eligible, the Fiscal Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect
specified in Section 7.09 hereof.
Section 7.08 Merger of Fiscal Agent. Any association or corporation into which the
Fiscal Agent may be converted or merged, or with which it may be consolidated, or to which it

or transfer to which it is a party shall, ipso facto, be and become successor Fiscal Agent hereunder
and vested with all the title to the whole property or Pledged Security and all the trusts, powers,
discretions, immunities, privileges and all other matters as was its predecessor, without the

Borrower, the Servicer and the Funding Lender Representative. Such notice to the Governmental

personally or sent by certified mail or overnight delivery service. The resignation of the Fiscal
Agent shall not be effective until a successor Fiscal Agent has been appointed as provided herein
and such successor Fiscal Agent shall have agreed in writing to be bound by the duties and
obligations of the Fiscal Agent hereunder.
Section 7.10 Removal of the Fiscal Agent. The Fiscal Agent may be removed at any
time, either with or without cause, with the consent of the Funding Lender Representative (which
consent of the Funding Lender Representative shall not be unreasonably withheld), by a written
instrument signed by the Governmental Lender and delivered to the Fiscal Agent, the Servicer
and the Borrower. The Fiscal Agent may also be removed by a written instrument signed by the
Funding Lender Representative and delivered to the Fiscal Agent, the Servicer, the Governmental
Lender and the Borrower. In each case written notice of such removal shall be given to the
Servicer, the Borrower and to the Funding Lender. Any such removal shall take effect on the day
specified in such written instrument(s), but the Fiscal Agent shall not be discharged from the
trusts hereby created until a successor Fiscal Agent has been appointed and has accepted such
appointment and has agreed in writing to be bound by the duties and obligations of the Fiscal
Agent hereunder.
Section 7.11 Appointment of Successor Fiscal Agent.
(a) In case at any time the Fiscal Agent shall resign or be removed, or be dissolved, or
shall be in course of dissolution or liquidation, or otherwise become incapable of acting
hereunder, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or if a receiver of the Fiscal Agent or of
its property shall be appointed, or if a public supervisory office shall take charge or control of the
Fiscal Agent or of its property or affairs, a vacancy shall forthwith and ipso facto be created in the
office of such Fiscal Agent hereunder, and the Governmental Lender, with the written consent of
the Funding Lender Representative, shall promptly appoint a successor Fiscal Agent. Any such
appointment shall be made by a written instrument executed by an Authorized Officer of the
Governmental Lender. If the Governmental Lender fails to appoint a successor Fiscal Agent
within twenty (20) days following the resignation or removal of the Fiscal Agent pursuant to
Section 7.09 or Section 7.10 hereunder, as applicable, the Funding Lender Representative may
appoint a successor Fiscal Agent and shall provide written notice thereof to the Governmental
Lender.
(b) If, in a proper case, no appointment of a successor Fiscal Agent shall be made
pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 7.11 within sixty (60) days following delivery of all
required notices of resignation given pursuant to Section 7.09 hereof or of removal of the Fiscal
Agent pursuant to Section 7.10 hereof, the retiring Fiscal Agent may apply to any court of
competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Fiscal Agent. The court may thereupon, after such
notice, if any, as such court may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor Fiscal Agent.
Section 7.12 Concerning Any Successor Fiscal Agent. Every successor Fiscal Agent
appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to its predecessor and also to the
Governmental Lender a written instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and
thereupon such successor, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested

predecessor; but such predecessor shall, nevertheless, on the written request of the Governmental
Lender, the Borrower or the Funding Lender Representative, or of its successor, and upon
-41-
payment of all amounts due such predecessor, including but not limited to fees and expenses of
counsel, execute and deliver such instruments as may be appropriate to transfer to such successor
Fiscal Agent all the Pledged Security and the rights, powers and trusts of such predecessor
hereunder; and every predecessor Fiscal Agent shall deliver all securities and money held by it
as Fiscal Agent hereunder to its successor. Should any instrument in writing from the
Governmental Lender be required by a successor Fiscal Agent for more fully and certainly vesting
in such successor the Pledged Security and all rights, powers and duties hereby vested or
intended to be vested in the predecessor, any and all such instruments in writing shall, on request,

Section 7.13 Successor Fiscal Agent . In the event of a change in the office of Fiscal
Agent, the predecessor Fiscal Agent which shall have resigned or shall have been removed shall
cease to be Fiscal Agent with respect to the Governmental Note, and the successor Fiscal Agent
shall become such Fiscal Agent.
Section 7.14 Appointment of Co Fiscal Agent or Separate Fiscal Agent. It is the intent
of the Governmental Lender and the Fiscal Agent that there shall be no violation of any law of
any jurisdiction (including particularly the laws of the State) denying or restricting the right of
banking corporations or associations to transact business as Fiscal Agent in such jurisdiction. It
is recognized that in case of litigation under or connected with this Funding Loan Agreement, the
Project Loan Agreement or any of the other Financing Documents, and, in particular, in case of
the enforcement of any remedies on default, or in case the Fiscal Agent deems that by reason of
any present or future law of any jurisdiction it may not exercise any of the powers, rights or
remedies herein or therein granted to the Fiscal Agent or hold title to the properties in trust, as
herein granted, or take any other action which may be desirable or necessary in connection
therewith, it may be necessary that the Fiscal Agent, with the consent of the Governmental Lender
and the Funding Lender Representative, appoint an additional individual or institution as a co
fiscal agent or separate fiscal agent.
In the event that the Fiscal Agent appoints an additional individual or institution as a co
fiscal agent or separate fiscal agent, in the event of the incapacity or lack of authority of the Fiscal
Agent, by reason of any present or future law of any jurisdiction, to exercise any of the rights,
powers, trusts and remedies granted to the Fiscal Agent herein or to hold title to the Pledged
Security or to take any other action that may be necessary or desirable in connection therewith,
each and every remedy, power, right, obligation, claim, demand, cause of action, immunity,
estate, title, interest and lien expressed or intended by this Funding Loan Agreement to be
imposed upon, exercised by or vested in or conveyed to the Fiscal Agent with respect thereto
shall be imposed upon, exercisable by and vest in such separate fiscal agent or co-fiscal agent, but
only to the extent necessary to enable such co fiscal agent or separate fiscal agent to exercise such
powers, rights, trusts and remedies, and every covenant and obligation necessary to the exercise
thereof by such co fiscal agent or separate fiscal agent shall run to and be enforceable by either of
them, subject to the remaining provisions of this Section 7.14. Such co fiscal agent or separate
fiscal agent shall deliver an instrument in writing acknowledging and accepting its appointment
hereunder to the Governmental Lender and the Fiscal Agent.
Should any instrument in writing from the Governmental Lender be required by the co
fiscal agent or separate fiscal agent so appointed by the Fiscal Agent for more fully and certainly
-42-
vesting in and confirming to him or it such properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties and
obligations, any and all such instruments in writing shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged
and delivered by the Governmental Lender, the Fiscal Agent and the Borrower. If the
Governmental Lender shall fail to deliver the same within thirty (30) days of such request, the
Fiscal Agent is hereby appointed attorney-in-fact for the Governmental Lender to execute,
acknowledge and deliver such instruments in the Governmental Lender’s name and stead. In
case any co fiscal agent or separate fiscal agent, or a successor to either, shall die, become
incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the estates, properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties
and obligations of such co fiscal agent or separate fiscal agent, so far as permitted by law, shall
vest in and be exercised by the Fiscal Agent until the appointment of a new Fiscal Agent or
successor to such co fiscal agent or separate fiscal agent.
Every co fiscal agent or separate fiscal agent shall, to the extent permitted by law, but to
such extent only, be appointed subject to the following terms, namely:
(a) the Governmental Note shall be authenticated and delivered, and all
rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations by this Funding Loan Agreement conferred
upon the Fiscal Agent in respect of the custody, control or management of money, papers,
securities and other personal property shall be exercised solely by the Fiscal Agent;
(b) all rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations conferred or imposed
upon the Fiscal Agent shall be conferred or imposed upon or exercised or performed by
the Fiscal Agent, or by the Fiscal Agent and such co fiscal agent, or separate fiscal agent
jointly, as shall be provided in the instrument appointing such co fiscal agent or separate
fiscal agent, except to the extent that under the law of any jurisdiction in which any
particular act or acts are to be performed the Fiscal Agent shall be incompetent or
unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such act or acts shall be performed
by such co fiscal agent or separate fiscal agent;
(c) any request in writing by the Fiscal Agent to any co fiscal agent or separate
fiscal agent to take or to refrain from taking any action hereunder shall be sufficient
warrant for the taking or the refraining from taking of such action by such co fiscal agent
or separate fiscal agent;
(d) any co fiscal agent or separate fiscal agent to the extent permitted by law
shall delegate to the Fiscal Agent the exercise of any right, power, trust, duty or obligation,
discretionary or otherwise;
(e) the Fiscal Agent at any time by an instrument in writing with the
concurrence of the Governmental Lender evidenced by a certified resolution may accept
the resignation of or remove any co fiscal agent or separate fiscal agent appointed under
this Section 7.14 and in case an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
the Fiscal Agent shall have power to accept the resignation of or remove any such co fiscal
agent or separate fiscal agent without the concurrence of the Governmental Lender, and
upon the request of the Fiscal Agent, the Governmental Lender shall join with the Fiscal
Agent in the execution, delivery and performance of all instruments and agreements
necessary or proper to effectuate such resignation or removal. A successor to any co fiscal
agent or separate fiscal agent so resigned or removed may be appointed in the manner
provided in this Section 7.14;
(f) no Fiscal Agent or co- fiscal agent hereunder shall be personally liable by
reason of any act or omission of any other Fiscal Agent hereunder;
-43-
(g) any demand, request, direction, appointment, removal, notice, consent,
waiver or other action in writing executed by the Funding Lender Representative and
delivered to the Fiscal Agent shall be deemed to have been delivered to each such co fiscal
agent or separate fiscal agent; and
(h) any money, papers, securities or other items of personal property received
by any such co fiscal agent or separate fiscal agent hereunder shall forthwith, so far as
may be permitted by law, be turned over to the Fiscal Agent.
The total compensation of the Fiscal Agent and any co fiscal agent or separate fiscal agent
shall be as, and may not exceed the amount, provided in Section 7.06 hereof.
Section 7.15 Notice of Certain Events. The Fiscal Agent shall give written notice to the
Governmental Lender, the Servicer and the Funding Lender Representative of any failure by the
Borrower to comply with the terms of the Tax Regulatory Agreement or any Determination of
Taxability of which a Responsible Officer has actual knowledge.
Section 7.16 [Reserved].
Section 7.17 Filing of Financing Statements. The Fiscal Agent shall, at the expense of
the Borrower, file or record or cause to be filed or recorded all UCC continuation statements for
the purpose of continuing without lapse the effectiveness of those financing statements which
have been filed on or approximately on the Delivery Date in connection with the security for the
Funding Loan pursuant to the authority of the UCC. Upon the filing of any such continuation
statement the Fiscal Agent shall immediately notify the Governmental Lender, the Borrower, the
Funding Lender Representative and the Servicer that the same has been done. If direction is given
by the Servicer or the Funding Lender Representative, the Fiscal Agent shall file all continuation
statements in accordance with such directions.
Section 7.18 USA Patriot Act Requirements of the Fiscal Agent. To help the
government of the United States of America fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering
activities, federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information
that identifies each person who opens an account. For a non-individual Person such as a business
entity, a charity, a trust, or other legal entity, the Fiscal Agent may request documentation to
verify such Person’s formation and existence as a legal entity. The Fiscal Agent may also request
financial statements, licenses, identification and authorization documents from individuals
claiming authority to represent such Person or other relevant documentation.

FORM OF GOVERNMENTAL NOTE
COUNTY OF CONTRA COSTA, CALIFORNIA
MULTIFAMILY HOUSING REVENUE NOTE
(HIDDEN COVE APARTMENTS),
2020 SERIES A
US $[AMOUNT] January __, 2020
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, COUNTY OF CONTRA COSTA,
CALIFORNIA (the “Obligor”), promises to pay (but solely from the sources and in the manner
provided for in the Funding Loan Agreement referenced below) to the order of CAPITAL ONE,
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (the “Funding Lender”), and its assigns, the principal sum of
[AMOUNT OF FUNDING LOAN] (US $[AMOUNT]), plus premium, if any, and interest thereon
and to pay the other amounts owing from time to time hereunder, all as set forth below.
This County of Contra Costa, California Multifamily Housing Revenue Note (Hidden
Cove Apartments), 2020 Series A (this “Note”) is being delivered pursuant to that certain Funding
Loan Agreement dated as of January 1, 2020 (together with any and all amendments,
modifications, supplements and restatements, the “Funding Loan Agreement”), among the
Funding Lender, the Obligor and U.S. Bank National Association, as fiscal agent (the “Fiscal
Agent”), pursuant to which the Obligor has incurred a loan in the original principal amount of
$[AMOUNT] (the “Funding Loan”), and this Note is entitled to the benefits of the Funding Loan
Agreement and is subject to the terms, conditions and provisions thereof. The Obligor is using
the proceeds of the Funding Loan to make a loan to Hidden Cove Apartments, LP, a California
limited partnership (the “Borrower”) pursuant to the Project Loan Agreement dated as of January
1, 2020 (the “Project Loan Agreement”), among the Obligor, the Borrower and the Fiscal Agent.
1. Defined Terms. As used in this Note, (i) the term “Funding Lender” means the
owner of this Note, and (ii) the term “Indebtedness” means the principal of, premium, if any, and
interest on or any other amounts due at any time under this Note or the Funding Loan
Agreement. “Event of Default” and other capitalized terms used but not defined in this Note
shall have the meanings given to such term in the Funding Loan Agreement.
2. Payments of Principal and Interest. The Obligor shall pay (but solely from the
sources and in the manner provided for in the Funding Loan Agreement) on the first calendar
day of each month commencing February 1, 2020, interest on this Note at the rate of [_____]% per
annum (or such higher rate of interest borne by the Funding Loan upon any default) (the “Interest
Rate”) on the outstanding principal balance of this Note, and shall also pay interest on this Note
at the Interest Rate on the date of any optional or mandatory prepayment or acceleration of all or
part of the Funding Loan pursuant to the Funding Loan Agreement, in an amount equal to the
accrued and unpaid interest to the date of prepayment on the portion of this Note subject to
prepayment (each such date for payment an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest on this Note shall
be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed.
The Obligor shall pay (but solely from the sources and in the manner provided for in the
Funding Loan Agreement) the outstanding principal of this Note in full on [February] 1, 2036 (the
“Maturity Date”) and in monthly installments on each date set forth on the Funding Loan
Amortization Schedule attached as Schedule 1 hereto in an amount equal to the corresponding
amounts set forth thereon, or at such earlier times and in such amounts as may be required, in
A-2
the event of an optional or mandatory prepayment or acceleration of the Funding Loan pursuant
to the Funding Loan Agreement. The outstanding principal hereof is subject to acceleration at
the time or times and under the terms and conditions, and with notice, if any, as provided under
the Funding Loan Agreement.
3. Manner of Payment. All payments under this Note shall be made in lawful
currency of the United States and in immediately available funds as provided for herein and in
the Funding Loan Agreement.
4. Application of Payments. If at any time the Funding Lender receives any amount
applicable to the Indebtedness which is less than all amounts due and payable at such time, the
Funding Lender may apply that payment to amounts then due and payable in any manner and
in any order determined by the Funding Lender, in the Funding Lender’s discretion. Neither the
Funding Lender’s acceptance of a payment in an amount that is less than all amounts then due
and payable nor the Funding Lender’s application of such payment shall constitute or be deemed
to constitute either a waiver of the unpaid amounts or an accord and satisfaction.
5. Security. The Indebtedness is secured by, among other things, the Pledged
Security pledged pursuant to the Funding Loan Agreement.
6. Acceleration. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the entire
unpaid principal balance, any accrued interest, and all other amounts payable under this Note
shall at once become due and payable, at the option of the Funding Lender, as governed by the
Funding Loan Agreement, without any prior notice to the Obligor (unless required by applicable
law). The Funding Lender may exercise this option to accelerate regardless of any prior
forbearance.
7. Prepayment; Prepayment Premium. This Note is subject to prepayment as
specified in the Funding Loan Agreement. Prepayment Premium shall be payable as specified in
the Funding Loan Agreement.
8. Forbearance. Any forbearance by the Funding Lender in exercising any right or
remedy under this Note or any other document evidencing or securing the Funding Loan or
otherwise afforded by applicable law, shall not be a waiver of or preclude the exercise of that or
any other right or remedy. The acceptance by the Funding Lender of any payment after the due
date of such payment, or in an amount which is less than the required payment, shall not be a
waiver of the Funding Lender’s right to require prompt payment when due of all other payments
or to exercise any right or remedy with respect to any failure to make prompt payment.
Enforcement by the Funding Lender of any security for the obligations under this Note shall not
constitute an election by the Funding Lender of remedies so as to preclude the exercise of any
other right or remedy available to the Funding Lender.
9. Waivers. Presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest, notice of acceleration,
notice of intent to demand or accelerate payment or maturity, presentment for payment, notice
of nonpayment, grace and diligence in collecting the Indebtedness are waived by the Obligor and
all endorsers and guarantors of this Note and all other third party obligors.
10. Loan Charges. Neither this Note nor any of the other Financing Documents will
be construed to create a contract for the use, forbearance, or detention of money requiring
payment of interest at a rate greater than the rate of interest which results in the maximum
amount of interest allowed by applicable law (the “Maximum Interest Rate”). If any applicable
law limiting the amount of interest or other charges permitted to be collected from Obligor in
connection with the Funding Loan is interpreted so that any interest or other charge provided for
A-3
in any Financing Document, whether considered separately or together with other charges
provided for in any other Financing Document, violates that law, and Obligor is entitled to the
benefit of that law, that interest or charge is hereby reduced to the extent necessary to eliminate
that violation. The amounts, if any, previously paid to Funding Lender in excess of the permitted
amounts will be applied by Funding Lender to reduce the unpaid principal balance of this Note.
For the purpose of determining whether any applicable law limiting the amount of interest or
other charges permitted to be collected from Obligor has been violated, all indebtedness that
constitutes interest, as well as all other charges made in connection with the indebtedness that
constitute interest, will be deemed to be allocated and spread ratably over the stated term of this
Note. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, such allocation and spreading will be effected
in such a manner that the rate of interest so computed is uniform throughout the stated term of
this Note.
11. Governing Law. This Note shall be governed by the laws of the State of California,
without regard to conflicts of laws principles (the “Property Jurisdiction”).
12. Captions. The captions of the paragraphs of this Note are for convenience only
and shall be disregarded in construing this Note.
13. Address for Payment. All payments due under this Note shall be payable at
the principal office of the Funding Lender as designated by the Funding Lender in writing to the
Fiscal Agent and the Servicer.
14. Default Rate. So long as (a) any monthly installment under this Note remains past
due, or (b) any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, interest under this Note
shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance from the earlier of the due date of the first unpaid
monthly installment or the occurrence of such other Event of Default, as applicable, at a rate (the
“Default Rate”) equal to the lesser of (i) the Interest Rate otherwise in effect notwithstanding the
default plus four percent (4%) per annum or (ii) the Maximum Interest Rate. If the unpaid
principal balance and all accrued interest are not paid in full on the Maturity Date, the unpaid
principal balance and all accrued interest shall bear interest from the Maturity Date at the Default
Rate.
15. Limited Obligation. None of the Governmental Lender or any person executing
the Funding Loan Agreement, the Project Loan Agreement or this Note is liable personally on
this Note or subject to any personal liability or accountability by reason of its execution and
delivery. The Funding Loan Agreement and this Note are limited obligations of the
Governmental Lender, payable solely from and secured by the pledge of the Revenues. Neither
the Governmental Lender, nor the State of California 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 payments due in respect of this Note, to levy or to pledge any form of
taxation whatever therefor or to make any appropriation for its payment. This Note is not a
pledge of the faith and credit of the Governmental Lender or the State of California or any of its
political subdivisions nor does it constitute indebtedness within the meaning of any
constitutional or statutory debt limitation. The Governmental Lender shall not be liable for
payment of the principal of, prepayment price or interest in respect of this Note 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 the Funding Loan Agreement, the Project Loan
Agreement, this Note or any other documents, except only to the extent amounts are received for
the payment thereof from the Borrower under the Project Loan Agreement.
A-4
16. Transfer. This Note may only be transferred in accordance with the requirements
of Section 2.08(b) of the Funding Loan Agreement.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Obligor has caused this Note to be duly executed by the
manual or facsimile signature of its authorized representative.

U.S. Bank National Association, as Fiscal Agent
San Francisco, California
Re: Hidden Cove Apartments
Ladies and Gentlemen:
The undersigned (the “Funding Lender”) hereby acknowledges receipt of the County of
Contra Costa, California Multifamily Housing Revenue Note (Hidden Cove Apartments), 2020
Series A, dated January __, 2020 (the “Governmental Note”) delivered pursuant to the Funding
Loan Agreement dated as of January 1, 2020 (the “Funding Loan Agreement”), among Capital
One, National Association, in its capacity as Initial Funding Lender (the “Initial Funding
Lender”), the County of Contra Costa, California (the “Governmental Lender”) and U.S. Bank
National Association, as Fiscal Agent (the “Fiscal Agent”). Capitalized terms used herein and not
otherwise defined have the meanings given to such terms in the Funding Loan Agreement.
In connection with the [origination/purchase] of the Funding Loan by the Funding
Lender, the Funding Lender hereby makes the following representations upon which you may
rely:
1. The Funding Lender has authority to [originate/purchase] the Funding Loan and
to execute this letter and any other instruments and documents required to be executed by the
Funding Lender in connection with the [origination/purchase] of the Funding Loan.
2. The Funding Lender is an “accredited investor” under Regulation D of the
Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) or a “qualified institutional buyer” under Rule 144(a) of said
Act (such “accredited investor” or “qualified institutional buyer”, a “Qualified Transferee”), and
has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial and business matters, including purchase
and ownership of municipal and other tax-exempt obligations, to be able to evaluate the risks and
merits of the investment represented by the Funding Loan.
3. The Funding Lender acknowledges that it is [originating/purchasing] the
Funding Loan for investment for its own account and not with a present view toward resale or
the distribution thereof (except as set forth below), in that it does not now intend to resell or
otherwise dispose of all or any part of its interests in the Funding Loan (except as set forth below);
provided, however, that the Funding Lender may, notwithstanding the foregoing and the terms
of Paragraph 4 below, (i) transfer the Funding Loan to any affiliate or other party related to the
Funding Lender that is a Qualified Transferee or (ii) sell or transfer the Funding Loan to a special
purpose entity, a trust or a custodial or similar pooling arrangement from which the Funding
Loan or securitized interests therein are not expected to be sold except to (x) owners or beneficial
owners thereof that are Qualified Transferees or (y) in circumstances where secondary market
credit enhancement is provided for such securitized interests resulting in a rating thereof of at
C-2
least “A” or better from a Rating Agency; provided, further, however, the Funding Lender has
originated and funded the Funding Loan with the expectation that the Funding Loan will be sold
to the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”) pursuant to the commitment
dated [_________] (the “Freddie Mac Commitment”)].
4. In addition to the right to sell or transfer the Funding Loan as set forth in
Paragraph 3 above, the Funding Lender further acknowledges its right to sell or transfer the
Funding Loan, subject, as required under the Funding Loan Agreement, to the delivery to the
Fiscal Agent of a transferee representations letter from the transferee to substantially the same
effect as this Transferee Representations Letter or in such other form authorized by the Funding
Loan Agreement with no revisions except as may be approved in writing by the Governmental
Lender. Failure to comply with the transfer restrictions set forth in the Funding Loan Agreement
shall cause the purported transfer to be null and void.
5. The Funding Lender understands that the Governmental Note is not registered
under the Act and that such registration is not legally required as of the date hereof; and further
understands that the Governmental Note (a) is not being registered or otherwise qualified for sale
under the “Blue Sky” laws and regulations of any state, (b) will not be listed in any stock or other
securities exchange, (c) will not carry a rating from any rating service and (d) will be delivered in
a form which may not be readily marketable.
6. The Funding Lender understands that (a) the Funding Loan is not secured by any
pledge of any moneys received or to be received from taxation by the State or any political
subdivision thereof, (b) the Funding Loan does not and will not represent or constitute a general
obligation or a pledge of the faith and credit of the Governmental Lender, the State or any political
subdivision thereof; and (c) the liability of the Governmental Lender with respect to the Funding
Loan is limited to the Pledged Security as set forth in the Funding Loan Agreement.
7. The Funding Lender has either been supplied with or been given access to
information, including financial statements and other financial information, which it considers
necessary to make an informed decision in connection with the [origination/purchase] of the
Funding Loan. The Funding Lender has not relied upon the Governmental Lender for any
information in connection with its purchase of the Funding Loan.
8. The Funding Lender has made its own inquiry and analysis with respect to the
Funding Loan and the security therefor, and other material factors affecting the security and
payment of the Funding Loan. The Funding Lender is aware that the business of the Borrower
involves certain economic variables and risks that could adversely affect the security for the
Funding Loan. In entering into this transaction, the Funding Lender has not relied upon any
representations or opinions of the Governmental Lender or the Fiscal Agent relating to the legal
consequences or other aspects of its investment in the Funding Loan, nor has it looked to, nor
expected, the Governmental Lender or the Fiscal Agent to undertake or require any credit
investigation or due diligence reviews relating to the Borrower, its financial condition or business
operations, the Project (including the financing or management thereof), or any other matter
pertaining to the merits or risks of the transactions contemplated by the Financing Documents,
or the adequacy of the funds pledged to the repayment of the Funding Loan.
9. The Funding Lender is not now and has never been controlled by, or under
common control with, the Borrower. The Borrower has never been and is not now controlled by
the Funding Lender. The Funding Lender has entered into no arrangements with the Borrower
or with any affiliate in connection with the Governmental Note or the Funding Loan, other than
as disclosed to the Governmental Lender.
C-3
All agreements, representations and warranties made herein shall survive the execution
and delivery of this letter agreement and, notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or
hereafter, shall continue in full force and effect.

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

of them, may become subject under federal or state securities laws or any other statutory law or
at common law or otherwise (collectively, “Losses”), to the extent arising, directly or indirectly,
out of or based upon or in any way relating to:
(i) any breach by the Borrower of its obligations under the Financing
Documents or the execution, amendment, restructuring or enforcement thereof, or in
connection with transactions contemplated thereby, including the issuance, sale, transfer
or resale of the Governmental Note;
(ii) any act or omission of the Borrower or any of its agents, contractors,
servants, employees or licensees in connection with the Project Loan or 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, construction or equipping of, the Project or any part
thereof;
(iii) any accident, injury to, or death of persons or loss of or damage to property
occurring in, on or about the Project or any part thereof;
(iv) any lien (other than liens permitted under the Continuing Covenant
Agreement) or charge upon payments by the Borrower to the Governmental Lender, the
Fiscal Agent or the Servicer hereunder, or any Taxes (including, without limitation, all ad
valorem taxes and sales taxes), assessments, impositions and other charges imposed on

material fact by the Borrower contained in any offering statement or document for the
Governmental Note or any of the Financing Documents to which the Borrower is a party,
or any omission or alleged omission by the Borrower of a material fact from any offering
-21-
statement or document for the Governmental Note necessary to be stated therein in order
to make the statements made therein by the Borrower, in the light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading;
(ix) any declaration of taxability of interest on the Governmental Note or
allegations (or regulatory inquiry) that interest on the Governmental Note is includable
in gross income for federal income tax purposes (including any Determination of
Taxability);
(x) any audit or inquiry by the Internal Revenue Service with respect to the
Project and/or the tax-exempt status of the Governmental Note; or
(xi) the Fiscal Agent’s acceptance or administration of the trust of the Funding
Loan Agreement, or the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties thereunder
or under any of the documents relating to the Governmental Note to which it is a party;
except (A) in the case of the foregoing indemnification of the Fiscal Agent, or any of its respective
officers, commissioners, members, directors, officials, employees, attorneys and agents, to the
extent such Losses are caused by the negligence, unlawful acts or willful misconduct of such
Indemnified Party; or (B) in the case of the foregoing indemnification of the Servicer, the Funding
Lender or the Governmental Lender or any of their respective officers, commissioners,
Supervisors, directors, officials, employees, attorneys and agents, to the extent such Losses are
caused by the willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party.
(b) Procedures. 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 such Indemnified Party, shall assume the investigation and defense
thereof, including the employment of counsel selected or approved 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 such 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 to
participate in the investigation and defense thereof. The Borrower shall pay the reasonable fees
and expenses of such separate counsel; provided, however, that such Indemnified Party may
employ separate counsel at the expense of the Borrower only if, in such Indemnified Party’s good
faith judgment, 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.
(c) Borrower to Remain Obligated. Notwithstanding any transfer of the Project to
another owner in accordance with the provisions of this Project Loan Agreement, the Security
Instrument and the Regulatory Agreement, the Borrower shall remain obligated to indemnify
each Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 6.01 for Losses with respect to any claims based
on actions or events occurring prior to the date of such transfer unless (i) such subsequent owner
assumed in writing at the time of such transfer all obligations of the Borrower under this Section
6.01 (including obligations under this Section 6.01 for Losses with respect to any claims based on
actions or events occurring prior to the date of such transfer) and (ii) any such transfer is in
compliance with the requirements of the Financing Documents.
(d) Survival. The provisions of this Section 6.01 shall survive the termination of this
Project Loan Agreement.
(e) No Limitation on Other Indemnification Rights. The provisions of this Section 6.01
shall not operate to limit any other rights of the Governmental Lender to be held harmless,
-22-
defended or indemnified by the Borrower under any other instrument or agreement, including,
without limitation, the Tax Regulatory Agreement
Section 6.02 Limitation With Respect to the Funding Lender. Notwithstanding
anything in this Project Loan Agreement to the contrary, in the event that the Funding Lender (or
its nominee) shall become the owner of the Project as a result of a foreclosure or a deed in lieu of
foreclosure, or comparable conversion of the Project Loan, the Funding Lender (or its nominee)
shall not be liable for any breach or default of any prior owner of the Project under this Project
Loan Agreement and shall only be responsible for defaults and obligations incurred or occurring
during the period that the Funding Lender (or its nominee) is the owner of the Project.
Accordingly, during any period that the Funding Lender (or its nominee) owns the Project and
that this Article VI is applicable to the Funding Lender (or its nominee), the Funding Lender’s (or
its nominee’s) obligations under this Article VI shall be limited to acts and omissions of the
Funding Lender (or its nominee) occurring during the period of the Funding Lender’s (or its
nominee’s) ownership of the Project.
ARTICLE VII
EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
Section 7.01 Events of Default. The following shall be “Events of Default” under this
Project Loan Agreement, and the term “Event of Default” shall mean, whenever it is used in this
Project Loan Agreement, one or all of the following events:
(a) Any representation or warranty made by the Borrower in the Financing
Documents or any certificate, statement, data or information furnished by the Borrower
in connection therewith or included by the Borrower in its application to the
Governmental Lender for assistance proves at any time to have been incorrect when made
in any material respect;
(b) Failure by the Borrower to pay any amounts due under this Project Loan
Agreement, the Project Note or the Security Instrument at the times and in the amounts
required by this Project Loan Agreement, the Project Note and the Security Instrument, as
applicable;
(c) The Borrower shall fail to observe or perform any other term, covenant,
condition or agreement (after taking into account any applicable cure period) set forth in
this Project Loan Agreement, which failure continues for a period of 30 days after notice
of such failure by the Governmental Lender, the Fiscal Agent or the Funding Lender
Representative to the Borrower (unless such default cannot with due diligence be cured
within 30 days but can be cured within a reasonable period and will not, in the Funding
Lender Representative’s sole discretion, adversely affect the Funding Lender or result in
impairment of this Project Loan Agreement or any other Financing Document, in which
case no Event of Default shall be deemed to exist so long as Borrower shall have
commenced to cure the default or Event of Default within 30 days after receipt of notice,
and thereafter diligently and continuously prosecutes such cure to completion); provided,
however, no such notice or grace periods shall apply in the case of any such failure which
could, in the Funding Lender Representative’s judgment, absent immediate exercise by
the Funding Lender Representative of a right or remedy under this Project Loan
Agreement, result in harm to the Funding Lender, impairment of this Project Loan
Agreement or any other Financing Document;
-23-
(d) The occurrence of a default under the Continuing Covenant Agreement or
the Security Instrument (after taking into account any applicable cure period thereunder)
shall at the discretion of the Funding Lender Representative constitute an Event of Default
under this Project Loan Agreement but only if the Fiscal Agent is provided written notice
by the Funding Lender Representative that an Event of Default has occurred under such
Financing Document and the Fiscal Agent is instructed by the Funding Lender
Representative that such default constitutes an Event of Default hereunder. The
occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder shall in the discretion of the Funding Lender
Representative constitute a default under the other Financing Documents.
Nothing contained in this Section 7.01 is intended to amend or modify any of the
provisions of the Financing Documents or to bind the Governmental Lender, the Fiscal Agent,
the Servicer or the Funding Lender Representative to any notice and cure periods other than as
expressly set forth in the Financing Documents.
Section 7.02 Remedies on Default. Subject to Section 7.06 hereof, whenever any Event
of Default hereunder shall have occurred and be continuing, the Funding Lender (or the Fiscal
Agent at the direction of the Funding Lender), may take any one or more of the following
remedial steps:
(a) The Funding Lender (or the Fiscal Agent at the direction of the Funding
Lender) may take such action, without notice or demand, as the Funding Lender deems
advisable to protect and enforce its rights against the Borrower and in and to the Project,
including declaring the Project Loan to be immediately due and payable (including,
without limitation, declaring the principal of, Prepayment Premium, if any, and interest
on and all other amounts due on the Project Note to be immediately due and payable).
(b) The Funding Lender (or the Fiscal Agent at the direction of the Funding
Lender) may, without being required to give any notice (other than to the Governmental
Lender or the Fiscal Agent, as applicable), except as provided herein, pursue all remedies
of a creditor under the laws of the State, as supplemented and amended, or any other
applicable laws.
(c) The Funding Lender (or the Fiscal Agent at the direction of the Funding
Lender) may take whatever action at law or in equity may appear necessary or desirable
to collect the payments under this Project Loan Agreement then due and thereafter to
become due, or to enforce performance and observance of any obligation, agreement or
covenant of the Borrower under this Project Loan Agreement.
In addition, subject to Section 7.06 hereof, the Governmental Lender and the Fiscal Agent
may pursue remedies with respect to the Unassigned Rights.
Any amounts collected pursuant to Article IV hereof and any other amounts which would
be applicable to payment of principal of and interest and any premium on the Funding Loan
collected pursuant to action taken under this Section 7.02 shall be applied in accordance with the
provisions of the Funding Loan Agreement.
Section 7.03 No Remedy Exclusive. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, all or
any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available against the
Borrower hereunder or under the Financing Documents or otherwise at law or in equity may be
exercised by the Funding Lender (or the Fiscal Agent at the direction of the Funding Lender), at
any time and from time to time, whether or not the Funding Lender has accelerated the Project
Loan, and whether or not the Funding Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding
-24-
or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Financing
Documents. No remedy conferred upon or reserved to the Funding Lender or the Fiscal Agent
by this Project Loan Agreement 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 Project 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
Event of 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 Funding Lender (or the Fiscal Agent at the direction of the
Funding Lender) 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 expressly required by this Project Loan
Agreement.
Section 7.04 Agreement to Pay Attorneys’ Fees and Expenses. In the event the
Borrower shall default under any of the provisions of this Project Loan Agreement and the
Governmental Lender, the Fiscal Agent, the Servicer or the Funding Lender Representative shall
employ attorneys or incur other expenses for the collection of loan payments or the enforcement
of performance or observance of any obligation or agreement on the part of the Borrower
contained in this Project Loan Agreement or in the Project Note, the Borrower shall on demand
therefor reimburse the reasonable fees of such attorneys and such other expenses so incurred.
Section 7.05 No Additional Waiver Implied by One Waiver. In the event any
agreement contained in this Project Loan Agreement shall be breached by any party and
thereafter waived by the other parties, such waiver shall be limited to the particular breach so
waived and shall not be deemed to waive any other breach hereunder.
Section 7.06 Control of Proceedings.
(a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, notwithstanding anything
to the contrary herein, the Funding Lender Representative shall have the sole and exclusive right
at any time to direct the time, method and place of conducting all proceedings to be taken in
connection with the enforcement of the terms and conditions of this Project Loan Agreement, or
for the appointment of a receiver or any other proceedings hereunder, in accordance with the
provisions of law and of this Project Loan Agreement. In addition, the Funding Lender
Representative shall have the sole and exclusive right at any time to directly enforce all rights and
remedies hereunder and under the other Financing Documents with or without the involvement
of the Fiscal Agent or the Governmental Lender. In no event shall the exercise of any of the
foregoing rights result in an acceleration of the Project Loan without the express direction of the
Funding Lender Representative.
(b) The Governmental Lender and the Fiscal Agent covenant that they will not,
without the prior written consent of the Funding Lender Representative, take any of the following
actions:
(i) prosecute any action with respect to a lien on the Project; or
(ii) 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 under, the Project Loan; or
(iii) interfere with or attempt to influence the exercise by the Funding Lender
Representative of any of its rights under the Financing Documents upon the occurrence
of any event of default by the Borrower under the Financing Documents; or
-25-
(iv) take any action to accelerate or otherwise enforce payment or seek other
remedies with respect to the Project Loan or the Funding Loan.
(c) Notwithstanding Sections 7.06(a) and 7.06(b) hereof, the Governmental Lender or
the Fiscal Agent may:
(i) specifically enforce the tax covenants of the Borrower specified in Section
2.04 and 2.05 hereof or seek injunctive relief against acts which may be in violation thereof;
(ii) specifically enforce the Tax Regulatory Agreement or seek injunctive relief
against acts which may be in violation of the Tax Regulatory Agreement or are otherwise
inconsistent with the operation of the Project in accordance with applicable requirements
of the Code and State law, including the Act (but in neither the case of subsection (c)(i)
above or this subsection (c)(ii) may the Governmental Lender or the Fiscal Agent seek any
form of monetary damages from the Borrower in connection with such enforcement).
In addition, notwithstanding Section 7.06(a) and 7.06(b) hereof, the Governmental Lender
and the Fiscal Agent may seek specific performance of the other Unassigned Rights (provided no
monetary damages are sought), and nothing herein shall be construed to limit the rights of the
Governmental Lender, the Fiscal Agent or any Indemnified Party related to the Governmental
Lender or the Fiscal Agent under Section 6.01 (each a “Related Indemnified Party”) to enforce
their respective rights against the Borrower under Sections 4.02, 4.03, 6.01 and 7.04 hereof,
provided that no obligation of the Borrower to the Governmental Lender, the Fiscal Agent or any
Related Indemnified Party under such sections shall be secured by or in any manner constitute a
lien on, or security interest in, the Project, whether in favor of the Governmental Lender, the Fiscal
Agent or any Related Indemnified Party, and all such obligations are and shall be subordinate in
priority, in right to payment and in all other respects to all other obligations, liens, rights
(including without limitation the right to payment) and interests arising or created under the
Financing Documents (except for the Fiscal Agent’s right to receive payment of reasonable fees
and expenses pursuant to Section 6.05(a) of the Funding Loan Agreement after an event of default
with respect to the Funding Loan, which reasonable fees and expenses of the Fiscal Agent shall
be payable as provided thereunder). Accordingly, none of the Governmental Lender, the Fiscal
Agent or any Related Indemnified Party shall have the right to enforce any monetary obligation
arising under such sections other than directly against the Borrower, without recourse to the
Project. In addition, any such enforcement must 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, rehabilitation, composition, reorganization,
conservation or other similar law in effect now or in the future.
Section 7.07 Assumption of Obligations. In the event that the Fiscal Agent or the
Funding Lender or their respective assignee or designee shall become the legal or beneficial
owner of the Project by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure, such party shall succeed to the
rights and the obligations of the Borrower under this Project Loan Agreement, the Project Note,
the Tax Regulatory Agreement, and any other Financing Documents to which the Borrower is a
party or with respect to which it is a third-party beneficiary. Such assumption shall be effective
from and after the effective date of such acquisition and shall be made with the benefit of the
limitations of liability set forth therein and without any liability for the prior acts of the Borrower.

Section 8.14 Non-Liability of Governmental Lender. None of the Governmental
Lender, any member of the Board of Supervisors of the Governmental Lender or any person
executing the Funding Loan Agreement, this Project Loan Agreement or the Governmental Note
is liable personally on the Governmental Note or subject to any personal liability or accountability
by reason of its execution and delivery. The Funding Loan Agreement and the Governmental
Note are limited obligations of the Governmental Lender, payable solely from Revenues and
other money and assets received by the Fiscal Agent on behalf of the Governmental Lender
pursuant to this Project Loan Agreement. Neither the Governmental Lender nor the State of
California 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 payments due in
respect of the Governmental Note, to levy or to pledge any form of taxation whatever therefor or
to make any appropriation for its payment. The Governmental Note is not a pledge of the faith
and credit of the Governmental Lender or the State of California or any of its political subdivisions
nor does it constitute indebtedness within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory debt
limitation. The Governmental Lender shall not be liable for payment of the principal of,
Prepayment Premium or interest in respect of the Governmental Note or any other costs,
expenses, losses, damages, claims or actions of any conceivable kind on any conceivable theory,

amounts are received for the payment thereof from the Borrower under this Project Loan
Agreement.
The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the Governmental Lender’s sole source of money
to repay the Funding Loan will be provided by the payments made by the Borrower pursuant to
this Project Loan Agreement, together with investment income on certain funds and accounts
held by the Fiscal Agent under the Funding Loan Agreement, and hereby agrees that if the
payments to be made hereunder shall ever prove insufficient to pay all principal (or Prepayment
Premium) and interest on the Funding Loan as the same shall become due (whether by maturity,
prepayment, acceleration or otherwise), then upon notice from the Fiscal Agent, 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 Prepayment Premium) or interest, including, but not limited
to, any deficiency caused by acts, omissions, nonfeasance or malfeasance on the part of the Fiscal
Agent, the Borrower, the Governmental Lender or any third party, subject to any right of
reimbursement from the Fiscal Agent, the Governmental Lender or any such third party, as the
case may be, therefor but solely, in the case of the Governmental Lender, from the Revenues,
other than with respect to any deficiency caused by the willful misconduct of the Governmental
Lender.
Section 8.15 No Liability of Officers. No recourse under or upon any obligation,
covenant, or agreement or in the Governmental Note, or under any judgment obtained against

proceeding by virtue of any constitution or statute or otherwise or under any circumstances, shall
be had against any Supervisor, director, employee, agent or officer, as such, past, present, or
future, of the Governmental Lender, either directly or through the Governmental Lender, or
otherwise, for the payment for or to the Governmental Lender or any receiver thereof, or for or
to the Funding Lender, of any sum that may be due and unpaid by the Governmental Lender
upon the Funding Loan. Any and all personal liability of every nature, whether at common law
or in equity, or by statute or by constitution or otherwise, of any such Supervisor, director,
employee, agent or officer, as such, to respond by reason of any act or omission on his or her part
or otherwise, for the payment for or to the Governmental Lender or any receiver thereof, or for
or to the Funding Lender, of any sum that may remain due and unpaid upon the Funding Loan,

this Project Loan Agreement and the issuance of the Governmental Note.
Section 8.16 Capacity of the Fiscal Agent. The Fiscal Agent is entering into this Project
Loan Agreement solely in its capacity as Fiscal Agent and shall be entitled to the rights,
protections, limitations from liability and immunities afforded it as Fiscal Agent under the
Funding Loan Agreement. The Fiscal Agent shall be responsible only for the duties of the Fiscal
Agent expressly set forth herein and in the Funding Loan Agreement.
Section 8.17 Reliance. The representations, covenants, agreements and warranties set
forth in this Project Loan Agreement may be relied upon by the Governmental Lender, the Fiscal
Agent, Bond Counsel, the Servicer, the Funding Lender and the Funding Lender Representative.
In performing their duties and obligations under this Project Loan Agreement and under the
Funding Loan Agreement, the Governmental Lender and the Fiscal Agent may rely upon
statements and certificates of the Borrower, upon certificates of tenants believed to be genuine
and to have been executed by the proper person or persons, and upon audits of the books and
records of the Borrower pertaining to occupancy of the Project. In addition, the Governmental
Lender and the Fiscal Agent 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 or the Fiscal Agent under this Project Loan Agreement and under the
Funding Loan Agreement in good faith and in conformity with the opinion of such counsel. It is
expressly understood and agreed by the parties to this Project Loan Agreement (other than the
Governmental Lender) that:
(a) the Governmental Lender may rely conclusively on the truth and accuracy
of any certificate, opinion, notice or other instrument furnished to the Governmental
Lender by the Fiscal Agent, the Funding Lender or the Borrower as to the existence of a
fact or state of affairs required under this Project Loan Agreement to be noticed by the
Governmental Lender;
(b) the Governmental Lender shall not be under any obligation to perform any
record keeping or to provide any legal service, it being understood that such services shall
be performed or caused to be performed by the Fiscal Agent, the Funding Lender
Representative, the Servicer or the Borrower, as applicable; and
(c) none of the provisions of this Project Loan Agreement shall require the
Governmental Lender or the Fiscal Agent to expend or risk its own funds (apart from the
proceeds of Funding Loan issued under the Funding Loan Agreement) or otherwise
endure financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any
of its rights under this Project Loan Agreement, unless it shall first have been adequately
indemnified to its satisfaction against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be
incurred by taking any such action.

comprising the Project.
(l) Money on deposit in any fund or account in connection with the Project Loan or the
Funding Loan, whether or not such money was derived from other sources, shall not be used by

to be an “arbitrage bond” 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 Governmental Note from being an “arbitrage bond” under the Code.

transient basis or rented for a period of less than 30 consecutive days, or will ever be
used as a hotel, motel, dormitory, fraternity house, sorority house, rooming house,
nursing home, hospital, sanitarium, rest home or trailer court or park; provided that the
use of certain units for tenant guests on an intermittent basis shall not be considered
transient use for purposes of this Regulatory Agreement.
(d) No part of the Project will at any time during the Compliance 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 Compliance Period (except that the Borrower may obtain final map approval
and the Final Subdivision Public Report from the California Department of Real Estate
and may file a condominium plan with the County).
-10-
(e) All of the Available Units in the Project will be available for rental during the
period beginning on the date hereof and ending on the termination of the Compliance
Period on a continuous, “first-come, first-served” basis to members of the general public,
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, or (ii) to the extent that dwelling units are
required to be leased or rented in such a manner that they constitute Low Income Units
or otherwise as necessary to comply with Section 6(a), (b) and (c), (iii) to the extent
required under any “extended low-income housing commitment” (an “Extended Use
Agreement”) applicable to the Project, or (iv) to the extent required by the provisions of
any documents related to the provision of State or federal low income housing tax
credits for the Project.
(f) The Project site consists of a parcel or parcels that are contiguous except for
the interposition of a road, street or stream, and all of the facilities of the Project
comprise a single geographically and functionally integrated project for residential
rental property, as evidenced by the ownership, management, accounting and operation
of the Project.
(g) The Borrower shall not discriminate on the basis of race, creed, color, sex,
source of income (e.g. AFDC, SSI), physical disability, age, national origin or marital
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
paragraph 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.
(j) 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 Code and the Regulations as applicable to the Project, 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 Project Loan or, if permitted under the provisions of the Project Loan Agreement,
apply any proceeds received as a result of any of the preceding events to rehabilitate the
Project to meet the requirements of Section 142(d) of the Code and the applicable
Regulations.
(k) 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).
-11-
The Governmental Lender hereby elects to have the Project 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 Compliance Period, no less than forty percent (40%) of the total
number of completed units in the Project shall at all times be Low Income Units. For the
purposes of this paragraph (a), a vacant unit that was most recently a Low Income Unit
is treated as a Low Income Unit 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.
In addition to the foregoing, the Borrower shall comply with the “Other
Restricted Units” requirements of Section 15 b. of the CDLAC Resolution, as required by
Section 29(a), including the tenant income restrictions referenced after Section 8 of the
CDLAC Resolution.
(b) No tenant qualifying as a Low Income Tenant upon initial occupancy shall be
denied continued occupancy of a unit in the Project because, after admission, the
aggregate Gross Income of all tenants in the unit occupied by such Low Income Tenant
increases to exceed the qualifying limit for a Low Income Unit. However, should the
aggregate Gross Income of tenants in a Low Income Unit, as of the most recent
determination thereof, exceed one hundred forty percent (140%) of the applicable
income limit for a Low Income Unit occupied by the same number of tenants, the next
available unit of comparable or smaller size must be rented to (or held vacant and
available for immediate occupancy by) Low Income Tenant(s). The unit occupied by
such tenants whose aggregate Gross Income exceeds such applicable income limit shall
continue to be treated as a Low Income Unit for purposes of the 40% requirement of
Section 4(a) hereof unless and until an Available Unit of comparable or smaller size is
rented to persons other than Low Income Tenants.
(c) For the Compliance Period, the Borrower will obtain, complete and maintain
on file Income Certifications for each Low Income Tenant, including (i) an Income
Certification dated immediately prior to the initial occupancy of such Low Income
Tenant in the unit and a second Income Certification dated one year after the Low-
Income Tenant’s initial move-in date, and (ii) thereafter, an annual Income Certification
with respect to each Low Income Tenant. In lieu of obtaining the annual Income
Certifications required by clause (ii) of the preceding sentence, the Borrower may, with
respect to any particular twelve-month period ending each January 1, deliver to the
Administrator no later than fifteen days after such date a certification that as of each
January 1, no residential unit in the Project was occupied within the preceding twelve
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 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 Income Certifications for tenants.
The Borrower will also provide such additional information as may be required in the
future by the Code, the State or the Governmental Lender, 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 Income Certifications for Low
-12-
Income Tenants commencing or continuing occupation of a Low Income Unit shall be
submitted to the Administrator or the Governmental Lender, as requested.
(d) The Borrower shall make a good faith effort to verify that the income
information provided by an applicant in an Income Certification 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
Administrator.
(e) The Borrower will maintain complete and accurate records pertaining to the
Low Income Units, and will permit any duly authorized representative of the
Administrator, the Governmental Lender, the Servicer, 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.
(f) The Borrower will prepare and submit to the Administrator, on behalf of the
Governmental Lender, not less than semi-annually, commencing not less than six
months after the Closing Date, a Certificate of Continuing Program Compliance
executed by the Borrower in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C.
(g) For the Compliance 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 by such tenant in the Income
Certification; (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 Governmental Lender or the Administrator on behalf of the
Governmental Lender, and that the failure to provide accurate information in the
Income Certification 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 statements made by such
tenant in the Income Certification and supporting information supplied by the Low
Income Tenant in determining qualification for occupancy of a 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) and
that if upon any such certification the aggregate Gross Income of tenants in such unit
exceeds the applicable income limit under Section 4(b), the unit occupied by such tenant
may cease to qualify as a Low Income Unit and such unit’s rent may be subject to
increase.
For purposes of this Section 4, no unit occupied by a residential manager shall be treated
as a rental unit during the time of such occupation.
-13-
Section 5. Tax-Exempt Status of the Governmental Note. The Borrower and the
Governmental Lender, as applicable, each hereby represents, warrants and agrees as follows:
(a) The Borrower and the Governmental Lender 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 Governmental Note 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 Governmental Lender will file of record such
documents and take such other steps as are necessary, in the written opinion of Tax
Counsel filed with the Governmental Lender (with a copy to the Borrower), 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. Requirements of the Act. In addition to the other requirements set forth
herein, the Borrower hereby agrees that it shall comply with each of the requirements of the
Act, including the following:
(a) As provided in Section 52080(a)(1)(B) of the Act, forty percent (40%) 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 60 percent or less of
area median income, 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 of area median income,
within the meaning of Section 52080(a)(1) of the Act.
(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 Regulatory Agreement to be subordinated to the syndication
-14-
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 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 Governmental Note, 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.
(g) Except in the event of foreclosure and repayment of the Governmental
Note, 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 Regulatory 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. Requirements of the Governmental Lender. In addition to other requirements
set forth herein and to the extent not prohibited by the requirements set forth in Sections 4
-15-
through 6 hereof, the Borrower hereby agrees to comply with each of the requirements of the
Governmental Lender set forth in this Section 7, 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
shall be maintained as required by the Governmental Lender, in a reasonable condition
for proper audit and subject to examination upon reasonable notice (which need not be
in excess of three Business Days) and during business hours by representatives of the
Governmental Lender.
(b) The Borrower shall not discriminate on the basis of race, creed, color, religion,
sex, sexual orientation, marital status, national origin, source of income (e.g. AFDC and
SSI), ancestry or handicap in the lease, use or occupancy of the Project (except as
required to comply with Section 3(e)(iii), (iv) or (v)), or in connection with the
employment or application for employment of persons for the rehabilitation, operation,
or management of the Project.
(c) The Borrower shall not, at initial occupancy, 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 shall at all times offer for rent the largest unit then available for the
applicable household size (being one bedroom units for 2-3 person households, and two
bedroom units for 4-5 person households). The foregoing, however, shall not apply to
one unit in the Project occupied by a resident manager.
(d) The Borrower shall pay directly to the Governmental Lender (i) on the
Closing Date the Governmental Lender Issuance Fee and the Governmental Lender
Annual Fee for the period from the Closing Date to but not including January 1, 2021,
and (ii) on each January 1, on and after January 1, 2021, the Governmental Lender
Annual Fee; without in either case any requirement for notice or billing of the amount
due. In addition, the Borrower shall pay to the Governmental Lender promptly
following receipt of an invoice that reasonably identifies the relevant expenses and the
amounts thereof, any out of pocket expenses incurred by the Governmental Lender in
connection with the Governmental Note, the Project Note, the Funding Loan
Agreement, the Project Loan Agreement, this Regulatory Agreement or any of the other
Financing Documents, including but not limited to any costs related to the FOCUS
Program.
(e) The rent limits set forth in Sections 6(b) and 6(f) shall apply to all Low Income
Units. In addition, the rental payments paid by Low Income Tenants for the Low
Income Units shall not exceed Affordable Rents.
(f) The Borrower will accept as tenants, on the same basis as all other prospective
tenants, persons who are recipients of federal certificates for rent subsidies pursuant to
the existing program under Section 8 of the Act, or its successor. The Borrower shall not
apply selection criteria to Section 8 certificate or voucher holders that is more
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.
-16-
(g) The Borrower shall submit to the Governmental Lender: (i) rent rolls and
other information required by the FOCUS Program on a quarterly basis, and (ii) within
fifteen (15) days after receipt of a written request, any other information or completed
forms requested by the Governmental Lender in order to comply with reporting
requirements of the Internal Revenue Service or the State.
(h) The Borrower shall indemnify the Governmental Lender as provided in
Section 9 hereof and in Section 6.01 of the Project Loan Agreement.
(i) The Governmental Lender may, at its option and at its expense, at any time
appoint an Administrator to administer this Agreement or any provision hereof and to
monitor performance by the Borrower of all or of any of the terms, provisions and
requirements hereof. Following any such appointment, the Borrower shall comply with
any request by the Governmental Lender to deliver to 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 such administrator as an agent of
the Governmental Lender.
(j) The Borrower shall submit its written management policies with respect to the
Project, if any, to the Governmental Lender 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 conflict with the provisions of the addendum to the form of lease for the
Project prepared by the Housing Authority of Contra Costa County, and shall attach
such 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
Governmental Lender, and (iv) a statement that a public hearing may be held by the
Governmental Lender 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 Governmental
Lender.
(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.
-17-
(n) The Borrower shall not participate in any refunding of the Governmental
Note or the Project Loan by means of the issuance of bonds or other obligations by any
governmental body other than the Governmental Lender.
(o) Each of the requirements of Sections 3, 4 and 6 hereof is hereby incorporated
as a specific requirement of the Governmental Lender, whether or not required by
California or federal law.
(p) The requirements of Section 6 and this Section 7 shall be in effect for the
Compliance Period.
Any of the foregoing requirements of the Governmental Lender contained in this Section
7 may be expressly waived by the Governmental Lender in writing, but (i) no waiver by the
Governmental Lender of any requirement of this Section 7 shall, or shall be deemed to, extend
to or affect any other provision of this Regulatory Agreement except to the extent the
Governmental Lender has received an opinion of Tax 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 Governmental Note for federal income tax purposes; and (ii) any
requirement of this Section 7 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
with any such requirement would cause interest on the Governmental Note 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 8. Modification of Covenants. The Borrower and the Governmental Lender
hereby agree as follows:
(a) To the extent any amendments to the Act, the Regulations or the Code shall,
in the written opinion of Tax Counsel filed with the Governmental Lender and the
Borrower (with a copy to the Servicer), retroactively 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 and
compliance therewith is necessary to maintain the validity of, or the Tax-Exempt status
of interest on the Governmental Note, 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 Tax Counsel filed with the Governmental Lender
and the Borrower (with a copy to the Servicer), 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
Governmental Lender, at its sole discretion, and the Borrower, and only upon receipt by
the Governmental Lender (with a copy to the Servicer) of the written opinion of Tax
Counsel to the effect that such amendment is permitted by the Project Loan Agreement
and will not affect the Tax-Exempt status of interest on the Governmental Note or
violate the requirements of the Act, and otherwise is in accordance with Section 22
hereof.
-18-
(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.
Section 9. Indemnification; Other Payments. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the
Borrower agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Governmental Lender and each of
its officers, Supervisors, officials, employees, attorneys 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 or 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 Agreement, the Project Loan Agreement, this Regulatory
Agreement or any of the other Financing Documents and all documents related thereto,
or the execution or amendment hereof or thereof or in connection with transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby, including the issuance, sale, resale or remarketing of
the Funding Loan;
(ii) any act or omission of the Borrower or any of its agents, contractors,
servants, employees or licensees in connection with the Project Loan or the Project, the
acquisition, rehabilitation or 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 and rehabilitation of the Project or any
part thereof;
(iii) any lien or charge upon payments by the Borrower to the Governmental
Lender or the Servicer or any taxes (including, without limitation, all ad valorem taxes
and sales taxes), assessments, impositions and other charges imposed on the
Governmental Lender or the Servicer in respect of any portion of the Project;
(iv) any violation of the Project Loan Agreement or any environmental law, rule
or regulation with respect to, or the release of any toxic substance from, the Project or
any part thereof;
(v) the defeasance and/or prepayment, in whole or in part, of the Funding Loan
or the Project Loan;
(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 document for the Funding Loan or any of the documents relating to the
Funding Loan, or any omission or alleged omission from any offering statement or
disclosure document for the Funding Loan 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; or
(vii) any declaration of taxability of interest on the Governmental Note, or
allegations (or regulatory inquiry) that interest on the Governmental Note is taxable for
federal tax purposes;
except to the extent such damages are caused by the willful misconduct of such Indemnified
Party. In the event that any action or proceeding is brought against any Indemnified Party with
-19-
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.
In addition thereto, the Borrower will pay upon demand all of the fees and expenses
paid or incurred by the Governmental Lender in enforcing the provisions hereof.
The provisions of this Section 9 shall survive the final payment or defeasance of the
Funding Loan and the Project Loan, and the termination of this Regulatory Agreement;
provided, however, the provisions of this Section shall, in the case of the Governmental Lender,
survive the term of this Agreement, but only as to claims arising from events occurring during
the term of this Regulatory Agreement.
Nothing contained in this Section 9 shall cause the obligation of the Borrower to pay
principal and interest on the Project Loan to be a recourse obligation of the Borrower.
The obligations of the Borrower under this Section are independent of any other
contractual obligation of the Borrower to provide indemnity to the Indemnified Parties, 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
Indemnified Party 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 incur the Funding
Loan to provide funds to lend to the Borrower to finance the Project, all for the purpose, among
others, of inducing the Borrower to acquire, rehabilitate and operate the Project. In
consideration of the issuance of the Governmental Note by the Governmental Lender, 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 Governmental Lender 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 Governmental Note, in the exemption from
California personal income taxation of interest on the Governmental Note and in the Tax-
Exempt status of the interest on the Governmental Note. In performing their duties and
obligations hereunder, the Governmental Lender 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. In addition, the Governmental Lender 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
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
-20-
delivered to the Governmental Lender by the Borrower with respect to the occurrence or
absence of a default.
Section 12. Transfer of the Project. For the Compliance Period, the Borrower shall not
Transfer the Project, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of the Governmental
Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, if the following
conditions are satisfied: (A) the receipt by the Governmental Lender of evidence acceptable to
the Governmental Lender that (1) the Borrower shall not be in default hereunder or under any
of the other Project Loan Documents in effect, or the transferee 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 transferee or its 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 governmental requirements applicable to
such projects, or (b) the transferee agrees to retain a Manager 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, or another management company reasonably acceptable to
the Governmental Lender will manage, for at least one year following such Transfer and, if
applicable, during such period the transferring Borrower or its management company will
provide training to the transferee and its manager in the responsibilities relating to the Low
Income Units; and (4) the person or entity that is to acquire the Project does not have pending
against it, and does not have a history of significant and material building code violations or
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 transferee of a document reasonably acceptable to the Governmental
Lender with respect to the assumption of the Borrower’s obligations under this Regulatory
Agreement and the other Project Loan Documents in effect, including without limitation an
instrument of assumption hereof and thereof, and delivery to the Governmental Lender of an
opinion of such transferee’s counsel to the effect that each such document and this Regulatory
Agreement are valid, binding and enforceable obligations of such transferee, subject to
bankruptcy and other standard limitations affecting creditor’s rights; (C) receipt by the
Governmental Lender of an opinion of Tax Counsel to the effect that any such Transfer will not
adversely affect the Tax-Exempt status of interest on the Governmental Note; (D) receipt by the
Governmental Lender of all fees and/or expenses then currently due and payable to the
Governmental Lender by the Borrower under any of the Project Loan Documents; and (E)
receipt by the Governmental Lender of evidence of satisfaction of compliance with the
provisions of Section 29(d)(i) related to notice to CDLAC of transfer of the Project.
It is hereby expressly stipulated and agreed that any Transfer 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. The written consent of the Governmental Lender to any Transfer of the
Project shall constitute conclusive evidence that the Transfer is not in violation of this Section
12. 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 satisfy certain
conditions or obtain the prior written consent of such other party in order to Transfer the
Project. Upon any Transfer that complies with this Regulatory Agreement, the Borrower shall
be fully released from its obligations hereunder, but only to the extent such obligations have
been fully assumed in writing by the transferee of the Project.
-21-
The foregoing notwithstanding, the Project may be transferred pursuant to a foreclosure,
exercise of power of sale or deed in lieu of foreclosure or comparable conversion under any
deed of trust without the consent of the Governmental Lender or compliance with the
provisions of this Section 12. The Governmental Lender hereby approves the transfer of limited
partnership interests in the Borrower to affiliates of the investor limited partner of the Borrower,
including, without limitation, the transfer of membership interests in the Borrower from the
investor limited partner and non-managing membership interests in the limited partner of
Borrower.
For the Compliance Period, the Borrower shall not: (1) encumber any of the Project or
grant commercial leases of any part thereof, or permit the conveyance, transfer or encumbrance
of any part of the Project, except for (A) encumbrances permitted under the Continuing
Covenant Agreement and the Project Loan Agreement, or (B) a Transfer in accordance with the
terms of this Regulatory Agreement, in each case upon receipt by the Governmental Lender of
an opinion of Tax Counsel to the effect that such action will not adversely affect the Tax-Exempt
status of interest on the Governmental Note (provided that such opinion will not be required
with respect to any encumbrance, lease or transfer relating to a commercial operation or
ancillary facility that will be available for tenant use and is customary to the operation of
multifamily housing developments similar to 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 demolished or removed is replaced with comparable property or such demolition or
removal is otherwise permitted by the Project Loan Agreement; 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 Compliance
Period, it being expressly agreed and understood that the provisions hereof are intended to
survive the repayment of the Governmental Note and of the Project Loan and the termination of
the Project Loan Agreement.
The terms of this Regulatory Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the
requirements of 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 or other casualty, seizure, requisition, foreclosure or 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 such provisions, or
condemnation or a similar event, but only if, within a reasonable period, either (a) the Funding
Loan is fully repaid, fully cancelled or fully forgiven, or (b) amounts received as a consequence
of such event are used to provide a project that 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.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Regulatory Agreement, this Regulatory
Agreement may be terminated upon agreement by the Governmental Lender and the Borrower,
with the consent of CDLAC, upon receipt by the Governmental Lender of an opinion of Tax
-22-
Counsel to the effect that such termination will not adversely affect the exclusion from gross
income of interest on the Governmental Note for federal income tax purposes and is otherwise
permitted under the Act. 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 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 title 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 Governmental Note was 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 60 days after notice
thereof shall have been given by the Governmental Lender to the Borrower, or for a period of 60
days from the date the Borrower should, with reasonable diligence, have discovered such
default, then the Governmental Lender may 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 60 days, such default shall not constitute an Event of Default hereunder so long as (i) the
Borrower institutes corrective action within said 60 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 60 days will not adversely affect the Tax-Exempt status of interest on the
Governmental Note. The Governmental Lender 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 to insure compliance with the Act or the Code.
Following the declaration of an Event of Default hereunder, the Governmental Lender
may at its option and subject to the provisions of Section 7.06 of the Project Loan Agreement,
take any one or more of the following steps, in addition to all other remedies provided by law
or equity:
-23-
(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 that may be unlawful or in violation of
the rights of the Governmental Lender 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; and
(iv) order and direct the Borrower in writing to terminate the Manager and to
select a replacement Manager meeting the requirements hereof within 60 days of such
written direction, and to notify the Governmental Lender in writing of the identity of the
replacement Manager and certify that such replacement Manager satisfies the
requirements hereof.
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 this Regulatory Agreement 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.
It is acknowledged and agreed by the Borrower and the Governmental Lender that one
of the primary purposes of this Regulatory Agreement is to preserve the exclusion from gross
income for federal income tax purposes of interest on the Governmental Note. The Funding
Lender and the Servicer are hereby declared intended third party beneficiaries of this
Regulatory Agreement and shall be entitled to enforce the provisions hereof in the event of any
default hereunder.
The Governmental Lender hereby agrees that cure of any Event of Default made or
tendered by any partner of the Borrower shall be deemed to be a cure by the Borrower and shall
be accepted or rejected on the same basis as if made or tendered by the Borrower.
Section 18. [intentionally omitted]
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
in the real property records of the County, and in such other places as the Governmental Lender
may reasonably request. The Borrower shall 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 reasonably necessary, in the opinion of Tax
Counsel, 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 to the end that such transferee has notice of, and is bound by,
such restrictions, and, except in the case of a foreclosure or comparable involuntary conversion
-24-
of the Security Instrument), whereby the Funding Lender becomes the owner of the Project, to
obtain the agreement from any transferee to abide by all requirements and restrictions of this
Regulatory Agreement.
Section 20. Payment of Fees. Notwithstanding any prepayment of the Project Loan and
discharge of the Project Loan Agreement, the Borrower shall continue to pay (or, to the extent
allowed under the Code, shall prepay the present value at such time of) the fees of the
Governmental Lender as provided in this Section 20, unless such prepayment is made in
connection with a refunding of the Governmental Note.
The Borrower agrees to pay to the Governmental Lender (i) the Governmental Lender
Issuance Fee, which shall be paid on or before the Closing Date, (ii) the Governmental Lender
Annual Fee, which shall be payable commencing on the Closing Date and annually on each
January 1 thereafter, and continuing throughout the Compliance Period, and (iii) within 30 days
after receipt of request for payment thereof, all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the
Governmental Lender (not including salaries and wages of Governmental Lender employees)
related to the Governmental Note, the Project Loan, the other Financing Documents and the
Project and the financing thereof, including, without limitation, legal fees and expenses
incurred in connection with the interpretation, performance, enforcement or amendment of any
documents relating to the Project, the Governmental Note, the Project Loan or any of the other
Financing Documents.
In the event that the Qualified Project Period terminates prior to the termination of the
Compliance Period (other than by reason of the issuance of refunding bonds), and provided
that the conditions of this Section are satisfied, the Borrower shall thereafter and for the
remainder of the Compliance Period pay to the Governmental Lender annually in advance an
amount equal to $5,000.00. The full Governmental Lender Annual Fee shall continue to be
payable unless and until the Governmental Lender has confirmed receipt of all amounts then
due and payable in arrears by the Borrower to the Governmental Lender in connection with the
Project Loan, at which point the Governmental Lender Annual Fee shall become effective.
If the Borrower fails to make payment of the Governmental Lender Annual Fee for a
period of two consecutive years or more, the Governmental Lender may, in its sole discretion,
declare the total amount of the Governmental Lender Annual Fee through the end of the
Compliance Period immediately due and payable, such amount to be discounted at a rate equal
to the then current market rate for U.S. Treasury obligations of a maturity equal to the
remaining term of the Compliance Period.
Section 21. Governing Law; Venue. This Regulatory Agreement shall be construed in
accordance with and governed by the laws of the State applicable to contracts made and
performed in the State. This Regulatory Agreement shall be enforceable in the State, and any
action arising hereunder shall (unless waived by the Governmental Lender in writing) be filed
and maintained in the Superior Court of California, County of Contra Costa.
Section 22. Amendments; Waivers. (a) Except as provided in Section 8(a) and 29(e)
hereof, this Regulatory Agreement may be amended only by a written instrument executed by
the parties hereto or their successors in title, and duly recorded in the real property records of
the County, and only upon receipt by the Governmental Lender of an opinion from Tax
Counsel that such amendment will not adversely affect the Tax-Exempt status of interest on the
Governmental Note 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 to the extent
-25-
required, in the opinion of Tax Counsel, in order that interest on the Governmental Note
remains 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 proposed amendment
to Tax Counsel and a request that Tax Counsel render to the Governmental Lender an opinion
as to the effect of such proposed amendment upon the Tax-Exempt status of interest on the
Governmental Note. This provision shall not be subject to any provision 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.

hereof shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
Section 25. Multiple Counterparts. This Regulatory Agreement may be simultaneously

of the Borrower under this Regulatory Agreement to any person or entity, including, but not
limited to, the Governmental Lender and its successors and assigns, is limited to the Borrower’s
interest in the Project and the amounts held in the funds and accounts created under the
Funding Loan Agreement or the Project Loan Agreement, or any rights of the Borrower under
-26-
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

Regulatory Agreement, or any judgment, order or decree rendered pursuant to any such action
or proceeding, except to the extent provided in the Project Loan Agreement.
Section 27. Third-Party Beneficiaries. The Administrator, the Funding Lender, the
Servicer, the former owners of the 2003 Bonds and CDLAC are intended to be and shall each be
a third-party beneficiary of this Regulatory Agreement. The Administrator shall have the right

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.

shall be managed by a property manager (i) approved by the Governmental Lender in its
reasonable discretion and (ii) who 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 governmental requirements applicable to
such projects (the “Manager”). The Borrower shall submit to the Governmental Lender from
time to time such information about the background, experience and financial condition of any
existing or proposed Manager as the Governmental Lender may reasonably require to
determine whether such Manager meets the requirements for a Manager set forth herein. The
Governmental Lender reserves the right to conduct periodic reviews of the management
practices and of the Manager to determine if the Project is being operated and managed in
accordance with the requirements and standards of this Agreement. The Borrower agrees to
cooperate with the Governmental Lender in such reviews.
-27-
If the Governmental Lender determines in its reasonable judgment that the Project is not
being operated and managed in accordance with one or more of the material requirements or
standards of this Regulatory Agreement, the Governmental Lender may, subject to any
applicable provisions of the Project Loan Agreement, deliver notice to the Borrower (with a
copy to the Servicer) requesting replacement of the Manager, which notice shall state clearly the
reasons for such request. The Borrower agrees that, upon receipt of such notice, it shall within
60 days submit to the Governmental Lender a proposal to engage a new Manager meeting the
requirements of this Section 28. The Governmental Lender shall respond within 30 days to such
proposal or such approval shall be deemed given. Upon receipt of such consent or deemed
consent, the Borrower shall within 60 days terminate the existing Manager’s engagement and
engage the new Manager. If such proposal is denied by the Governmental Lender, the
Borrower agrees that upon receipt of notice of such denial, it shall within 60 days submit to the
Governmental Lender, a proposal to engage another new Manager meeting the requirements of
this Section 28, subject to the Governmental Lender’s consent pursuant to the terms hereof.
Section 29. Requirements of CDLAC. In addition to other requirements set forth herein
and to the extent not prohibited by the requirements set forth in Sections 4 through 6 hereof, the
Borrower hereby agrees to comply with each of the requirements of CDLAC set forth in this
Section 29, as follows:
(a) The Borrower shall comply with the CDLAC Resolution attached hereto as
Exhibit E and the CDLAC Conditions set forth in Exhibit A thereto (collectively, the
“CDLAC Conditions”), which conditions are incorporated herein by reference and made

authorized representative of the Borrower. The Certificate of Compliance II for
Qualified Residential Rental Projects shall be shall be prepared pursuant to the terms of
the CDLAC Conditions. Additionally, the Borrower will prepare and submit to the
Governmental Lender, a Certificate of Completion, in substantially the form required or

(b) The Borrower acknowledges that the Governmental Lender and the
Administrator will monitor or cause to be monitored the Borrower’s compliance with
the terms of the CDLAC Conditions. The Borrower acknowledges that the
Governmental Lender will prepare and submit to CDLAC, not later than March 1 of
each year until the rehabilitation of the Project is completed, and on March 1 of every

three years thereafter until the end of the Compliance Period, a Self-Certification

Governmental Lender in connection with such monitoring and reporting requirements.
(c) Except as otherwise provided in Section 13 of this Regulatory Agreement,
this Regulatory Agreement shall terminate on the date 55 years after (i) the date on
which at least fifty percent (50%) of the units in the Project are first occupied, or (ii) the
date on which the Project is otherwise placed in service.
(d) The Borrower shall notify CDLAC in writing of: (i) any change in ownership
of the Project, (ii) any change in the Governmental Lender, (iii) any change in the name
of the Project or the Manager; (iv) any material default under the Funding Loan

not limited to, such defaults associated with the Tax-Exempt status of the Governmental
Note, and the income and rental requirements as provided in Sections 4 and 6 hereof
and the CDLAC Conditions; or (v) termination of this Regulatory Agreement.
(e) CDLAC shall have the right, but not the obligation, to deliver revised
CDLAC Conditions to the Borrower after the Closing Date at any time that are not more
restrictive than the original CDLAC conditions; provided however, that: (i) any changes
in the terms and conditions of the CDLAC Conditions prior to the recordation against
the Project in the real property records of the County of a regulatory agreement between
the Borrower and the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee (“TCAC Regulatory
Agreement”) shall be limited to such changes as are necessary to correct any factual
errors or to otherwise conform the CDLAC Conditions to any change in facts or
circumstances applicable to the Borrower or the Project; and (ii) after recordation of the
TCAC Regulatory Agreement, any changes in the terms and conditions of the CDLAC
Conditions shall be limited to such changes as are necessary to conform Items 1, 6, 7, 10,
11, 12, 14, 15, 16, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26 and 37 of Exhibit A to the CDLAC
Conditions to any change in terms and conditions requested by Borrower and approved
by CDLAC. The Governmental Lender may, in its sole and absolute discretion, require
that the Borrower enter into an amendment to this Regulatory Agreement reflecting the
revised CDLAC Conditions, which amendment shall be executed by the parties hereto
or their successor in title and duly recorded in the real property records of the County.
The Borrower shall pay any costs and expenses in connection therewith and provide
CDLAC with a copy of that recorded amendment reflecting the revised CDLAC
Conditions.
Any of the foregoing requirements of the CDLAC contained in this Section 29 may be
expressly waived by CDLAC, in its sole discretion, in writing, but (i) no waiver by CDLAC of
any requirement of this Section 29 shall, or shall be deemed to, extend to or affect any other
provision of this Regulatory Agreement except to the extent the Governmental Lender has
received an opinion of Tax Counsel that any such provision is not required by the Act or the
Code and may be waived without adversely affecting the exclusion from gross income of
interest on the Governmental Note for federal income tax purposes; and (ii) any requirement of
this Section 29 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 with any such
requirement would cause interest on the Governmental Note to cease to be Tax-Exempt or to
the effect that compliance with such requirement would be in conflict with the Act, the Code or
any other State or federal law.
Section 30. Limited Liability of Governmental Lender. All obligations of the
Governmental Lender under this Regulatory Agreement are limited obligations, payable solely
-29-
and only from Project Loan proceeds and other amounts derived by the Governmental Lender
from the Project Loan or otherwise under the Project Loan Agreement.
Section 31. Conflict With Other Affordability Agreements. Notwithstanding any
provision in this Regulatory Agreement to the contrary, in the event of any conflict between the
provisions of this Regulatory Agreement and any other agreement that imposes affordability
requirements on the Project, including those referenced in Section 3(e) 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, 6, 7 and 29 of this Regulatory
Agreement are in any event satisfied. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a breach or default under
any agreement referenced in Section 3(e) hereof shall not, in itself, constitute a breach or a
default under this Regulatory Agreement.
Section 32. Annual Reporting Covenant. No later than January 31 of each calendar year
(commencing January 31, 2021), the Borrower, on behalf of the Governmental Lender, agrees to
provide to the California Debt and Investment Advisory Commission, by any method approved
by the California Debt and Investment Advisory Commission, with a copy to the Governmental
Lender, the annual report information required by section 8855(k)(1) of the California
Government Code with respect to the Governmental Note. This covenant shall remain in effect
until the later of the date (a) the Governmental Note is no longer outstanding or (b) the
proceeds of the Governmental Note have been fully spent.

excluding transfers permitted by the Security Instrument. No covenant obligating the Borrower
to obtain an agreement from any transferee to abide by all requirements and restrictions of the

cured or has not been cured, but is curable within a reasonable period of time, or is incurable;
notwithstanding the occurrence of such violation, neither the Governmental Lender nor the
Fiscal Agent shall have, and each of them acknowledge that they shall not have, any right to
cause or direct acceleration of the Project Loan, to enforce the Project Note or to foreclose on the
Security Instrument.
7. Amendments. The Regulatory Agreement shall not be amended without the
prior written consent of the Funding Lender.

Contra Costa County
Alcohol and Other Drugs Advisory Board
2019 ANNUAL REPORT
Mission (as approved by the Board of Supervisors (BOS) on August 28, 2012): The
mission of the Alcohol and Other Drugs Advisory Board (AODAB) is to assess family and
community needs regarding prevention and treatment of alcohol and other drug - related
problems. Resultant findings and recommendations are forwarded to the Health Services
Department and the Board of Supervisors.
Activities:
During 2019, the AODAB adopted two goals: (1) Support the reduction of substance use
and access, and (2) Promote and support more interaction between the Board and its
constituents to better identify and address needs and opportunities. In addition, the Board
continued its efforts in the following priority areas: (1) Increase Board member capacity to
address substance use issues in the community; (2) Prepare recommendations for the
BOS Legislative Platform (3) Increase awareness of prescription drug use/misuse.
Accomplishments:
In January 2019, the Board members participated in a strategic planning retreat, which
resulted in the development of the 2019 AODAB Action Plan . The Action Plan highlighted
key priority areas and included updated goals and objectives for the year. The retreat
provided a platform to evaluate the previous year’s plan and to discuss emerging trends
that helped guide the development of the goals and objectives for the upcoming year.
Furthermore, within the context of the Action Plan, strategies, activities and action steps to
help guide the Board’s three committees were outlined.
To encourage greater community involvement, the Board held its regularly scheduled
October meeting at the Ambrose Community Center located in Bay Point. The meeting
included presentations from East County based prevention and treatment providers.
Additionally, there was active participation from community members to voice concerns
and ask any clarifying questions related to the Board’s advisory role and/or its involvement
in countywide efforts.
The AODAB supported annual campaigns to raise awareness about Substance Use
Disorder (SUD) prevention, treatment and recovery efforts in the community. Examples of
campaigns included obtaining support from the BOS to adopt proclamations declaring
Prescription Drug Abuse Awareness Month in March and National Recovery Month in
September.
The AODAB recognizes the need to acknowledge comm unity members for their
outstanding service to combat SUD throughout the County. In doing so, the Board
obtained support from the BOS to formally acknowledge 8 i n d i v i d u a l s , 3 o f
w h i c h w e r e y o u t h l e a d e r s and 3 youth groups from community based
Meeting Time and Location: Meetings are regularly scheduled on the fourth
Wednesday of each month from 4:00 to 6:15 pm in Martinez; except when the Board
meets in different supervisorial districts to effectively outreach to those residents.
Board: 11 members; 1 from each supervisorial district plus 6 At-large, and 3 At-large
alternates. Each member is appointed by the Board of Supervisors.

organizations. All individuals and groups were recipients of the annual “People Who
Make a Difference” Awards. In addition, in October 2019 the Board recognized two long
time advocates declaring them to be “Recovery Champions”.
In the spirit of fulfilling the Board’s mission to assess community needs and promoting
interaction with its constituents, Board members participated in the “Soulful Softball
Sunday” event held in Richmond. The event was aimed at educating the community on
Alcohol and Other Drugs (AOD) related issues and connecting individuals to prevention
and treatment resources. Additional community engagement included participation in the
Los Lomas Wellness Fair in Walnut Creek and the Youth Marijuana Prevention Summit in
Concord. Furthermore, the Board participated in the Dose of Action film festival by
launching two films about alternative pain therapy and the issues surrounding prescription
drug use/misuse.
The Board continued to work in conjunction with the Contra Costa Council on
Homelessness, the Mental Health Commission, the Contra Costa County MEDS Coalition
and the Tobacco Prevention Coalition to work towards reaching common goals and
interests.
The Programs and Services Committee reviewed the Increasing Collaboration Across
Contra Costa’s Drug Medi-Cal Organized Delivery System report in which four goals were
outlined. This report resulted in the creation of a Provider County Advisory Collaborative
Working Group as a way to improve communication between AODS and t heir contracted
providers. There has been committee representation during the bi-monthly collaborative
meetings where the AODAB members have actively engaged in a dialogue with service
providers to identify system gaps and discuss possible solutions to address those gaps.
Along with the support of AODS staff, AODAB was also able to participate in quarterly
AODS System of Care meetings. These meetings connected the AODAB with the
County’s contracted SUD treatment providers to gain a better understanding of the
strengths and challenges that programs face.
Advisory Board Challenges: The Board achieved quorum on ten meetings in 2019 and
canceled two due to lack of quorum. As a result, the BOS changed the quorum structure
of the AODAB from 18 to 11 seats to facilitate the achievement of quorum.
Training and Certification: All new members received an orientation on internal
governance, the Ralph M. Brown Act and the County’s Better Government Ordinance, as
well as on confidentiality standards, AODS structure, etc. In addition, presentations from
representatives from various community-based organizations, county-run facilities,
community coalitions as well as from the Director of Behavioral Health Services were
delivered.
Proposed Work Plan/Objectives for 2020: The annual strategic planning retreat has
been scheduled for January 25, 2020 , which will allow for highlighting priority areas and
developing the 2020 goals and objectives. Strategies will include community outreach,
education and advocacy. There will be a greater focus on the upcoming changes to the
State’s restructuring of Medi-Cal that will impact AOD services. The members of the
AODAB are grateful to be of service to the BOS and the people of Contra Costa.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute, on behalf of the
County Interagency Agreement #28–904 with UCSF-Division of Pediatrics Rehabilitation Medicine, an
educational institution, to provide Medical Therapy Conference (MTC) physician services, for the period

Subject:Executive Order 13888 on Enhancing State and Local Involvement in Refugee Resettlement: Support Without
Endorsement
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
released a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) outlining the consent requirements. The NOFO
stipulated that the Resettlement Agencies must provide proof of written consent from the state governor's
office and the chief executive officer of the county as a condition of refugee placement approvals and
funding. The proposal submission deadline for Resettlement Agencies is January 21, 2020. Consistent with
EO 13888, the consent letters will be published on the federal Department of State website. Effective June
1, 2020, refugees can only be resettled in locations where both state and local governments consent to their
resettlement.
Refugee groups filed a lawsuit challenging the EO in U.S. District Court in Maryland. California Attorney
General Becerra joined 12 attorneys general in filing an amicus brief. Oral arguments are scheduled for
January 8, 2020. Participation in the implementation of Executive Order 13888 is not an endorsement of its
legality.
Jewish Family & Community Services East Bay (JFCS) and the International Rescue Committee (IRC) are
the local Resettlement Agencies in Contra Costa. Services provided by these organizations include initial
reception and housing assistance; cultural orientation; benefits enrollment; employment and career
development services; legal, mental health, and parenting support services for refugees and immigrants in
the East Bay. In the past three years, JFCS and IRC resettled 634 refugees in Contra Costa, with the large
majority from Afghanistan.
Refugees are individuals who are forced to flee their home country due to persecution based on their race,
religion, ethnicity, political opinion or social group. Resettlement is the last resort for refugees who cannot
return to their home country and cannot rebuild their lives where they first fled. Refugees resettled by the
U.S. State Department are lawfully present in the U.S., and undergo a thorough vetting process.
Refugees play an important role in California and Contra Costa County’s economy. In 2015, refugees’
businesses generated $4.6 billion in income nationally and their spending power in California alone totaled
more than $17.2 billion. A 2017 draft report by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services found
that refugees contributed $63 billion more in tax revenue than they received in public benefits over the
preceding decade.
Refugees who reside in California may qualify for CalFresh and Medi-Cal if they meet program
requirements. Additionally, the Employment and Human Services Department administers Refugee Cash
Assistance (RCA) and Cash Assistance Program for Immigrants (CAPI). RCA helps refugees by providing
cash and medical assistance during their first eight months in the United States. CAPI is a State funded
program that provides cash assistance for aged, blind and disabled legal immigrants and refugees who do
not qualify for Federal Supplemental Security Income/State Supplemental Program (SSI/SSP).
Failure to provide consent per the requirements of the EO, and as set forth in the NOFO, would threaten the
long-term stability of the refugee resettlement program. Additional impacts could include a decrease in
State and county refugee integration services, increased processing times for refugees in addition to added
uncertainty and delays in economic and social integration processes. In addition, refugee families may
experience extended separations.
