Subject:Approval of Community Development Block Grant Legal Documents for Future Colours Group Home,
Clayton
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Harmony Home executed a Note through which they promised to pay the County upon
sale of the property 64.65 percent of the sales price of the property.
A Deed of Development Rights was recorded through which Harmony Home granted to
the County the right to all sales proceeds or other income from disposition or sale of the
property.
The Note and Deed of Development Rights are inconsistent. The County has been
renegotiating Deed of Development Rights as properties are being sold or transferred.
The County has been accepting payments based on a shared appreciation model. The
Note is consistent with this current policy.
The Deed of Development Rights states that Harmony Home is to use the property to
provide living arrangements for six adults and conduct a program that provides
independent living skills, job development skills, essential care, and public transportation
skills. Harmony Home confirms that this is the current use of the property.
Harmony Home now wishes to sell the property to Future Colours. Future Colours
wishes to purchase the home and continue to operate it as an adult residential facility.
Future Colours is an approved vendor with the Regional Center of the East Bay.
Harmony Home and Future Colours have entered into a purchase agreement. The agreed
sales price is $700,000 and is supported by an appraisal. The purchase agreement
assumes that the County will transfer the CDBG obligation to Future Colours. This is
calculated to be 64.65 percent of $700,000, or $452,550. The remaining $247,450 will be
loaned to Future Colours by Harmony Home. The Harmony Home deed of trust will be
recorded behind the County.
County staff has prepared new loan documents, which are in conformance with our
current policies and programs. The new loan terms include the following:
• New loan amount of $452,550, which is the original principal amount and 64.65 percent
of the appreciation
• Payments are deferred until the earlier of sale or transfer of the property, or December 7,
2030
• The loan repayment will be 452,550 plus 64.65 percent of any appreciation above
$700,000
County Counsel has approved the attached legal documents as to form.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Harmony Homes would be forced to repay the CDBG loan and Future Colours would not
be able to purchase and continue operation of this home.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
N/A. Children are not served by this project.

CDBG LOAN AGREEMENT
(Future Colours)
This CDBG Loan Agreement (the "Agreement") is dated December 8, 2010, and is
between the COUNTY OF CONTRA COSTA, political subdivision of the State of California (the
"County"), and FUTURE COLOURS CORP., a California nonprofit public benefit corporation (the
"Borrower").
RECITALS
A. Defined terms used but not defined in these recitals are as defined in Article 1 of
this Agreement.
B. The County has received funds from the United States Department of Housing
and Urban Development ("HUD") under Title I of the Housing and Community
Development Act of 1974, as amended ("CDBG Funds"). Such funds must be
used by the County in accordance with 24 C.F.R. Part 570 et seq.
C. The Borrower intends to acquire real property located at 1579 N. Mitchell Canyon
Road in the City of Clayton, County of Contra Costa, State of California, as more
particularly described in Exhibit A (the "Property"). The Property is improved
with a single family home that is operated as a licensed adult residential care
facility for persons with developmental disabilities.
D. The Borrower is in contract to purchase the Property from Harmony Home,
Associated ("Harmony"). In 1986, the County loaned One Hundred Nineteen
Thousand Six Hundred Dollars ($119,600) of CDBG Funds to Harmony to assist
in the purchase of the Property by Harmony. Under the terms of the promissory
note executed by Harmony for the benefit of the County (the “Harmony Note”),
Harmony is obligated to pay the County 64.65% of the sales price of the Property
upon its sale by Harmony. Based on the Property’s current appraised value of
Seven Hundred Thousand Dollars ($700,000), the amount due to the County by
Harmony upon the sale of the Property to Borrower is Four Hundred Fifty-Two
Thousand Five Hundred Fifty Dollars ($452,550).
E. In order to prevent an interruption in services to the residents of the licensed
facility located on the Property, the County is willing to simultaneously (i) cancel
the Harmony Note, as evidence of it having been repaid in full by Harmony, and
(ii) lend Borrower Four Hundred Fifty-Two Thousand Five Hundred Fifty Dollars
($452,550) (the “Loan”).
F. The County has the authority to extend the Loan to the Borrower pursuant to
Government Code Section 26227, which authorizes counties to spend county
funds for programs that will further a county's public purposes. In addition, the
County has the authority to loan the CDBG Funds to provide housing to low and
moderate income persons pursuant to 24 C.F.R. 570.201(a).
863\84\866738.4 2
G. The Borrower is required to apply the Loan to the acquisition of the Property.
The financial feasibility of operating the Property as a residential care facility is
enhanced as a result of the Loan. In exchange for the assistance provided by the
County to the Borrower through the extension of the Loan, the Borrower is
required to continue to operate the Property as a residential care facility for
persons with developmental disabilities.
H. The California Environmental Quality Act (California Public Resources Code
Section 21000 et seq.) ("CEQA") imposes no conditions on the County's
consideration and approval of this Agreement, because the project underlying this
Agreement, (i) can be seen with certainty to have no possibility of having
significant effects on the environment pursuant to 14 California Code of
Regulations 15061(b)(3); or (ii) is exempt from CEQA requirements under the
categorical exemption set forth in 14 California Code of Regulations Section
15301.
I. The National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended (42 U.S.C.
Section 4321-4347) ("NEPA"), imposes no conditions on the County's
consideration and approval of this Agreement, because the project underlying this
Agreement is exempt from NEPA requirements under the categorical exclusion
set forth in 24 C.F.R. Section 58.35(a)(5).
The parties therefore agree as follows:

ARTICLE 2 LOAN PROVISIONS
Section 2.1 Loan and Loan Term.
The County shall lend to the Borrower the Loan for the purposes set forth in Section 2.3
of this Agreement. Borrower's obligation to repay the Loan is evidenced by the Note. The
“Term” of the Loan is comprised of an Initial Term and, at County’s option, an Extension Term.
The “Initial Term” is twenty (20) years beginning on the date of this Agreement. At the end of
the Initial Term, the County may agree to extend the term for an additional twenty (20) years (the
“Extension Term”) if (i) the Borrower is not in default under any of the Loan Documents, and
(ii) the Borrower agrees to extend the term of the Regulatory Agreement for an additional twenty
(20) years. Upon the commencement of the Extension Term, all references to the Term of the
Loan will be deemed to mean the Term as extended pursuant to this Section.
Section 2.2 Interest.
The Loan does not bear interest, except that on the occurrence of any of the following
events, Borrower shall pay the County interest in an amount equal to the Appreciated Value:
(a) A change in the use of the Property that triggers the application of 24 CFR
570.503(b)(7)(ii);
(b) Any Transfer; or
(c) An Event of a Default.
Section 2.3 Use of Loan Funds.
(a) The Borrower shall use the Loan to fund the acquisition of the Property
consistent with the Approved Acquisition Budget.
(b) The Borrower may not use the Loan proceeds for any other purposes
without the prior written consent of the County.
863\84\866738.4 5
Section 2.4 Security.
Borrower shall secure its obligation to repay the Loan, as evidenced by the Note, by
executing the Deed of Trust, and causing or permitting the Deed of Trust to be recorded as a first
position mortgage lien against the Property, superior in lien priority to the deed of trust securing
the Harmony Loan.
Section 2.5 Subordination.
The County has approved the Harmony Loan as a loan junior in lien priority to the
County Loan. The Harmony Loan has a term of ten (10) years and is expected to be refinanced
prior to the expiration of its term by a new loan to Borrower from a private bank or other
institutional lender. The Deed of Trust and/or Regulatory Agreement may be subordinated to a
new mortgage loan that refinances the Harmony Loan (such loan, a "Senior Loan"), if all of the
following conditions are satisfied:
(a) All of the proceeds of the proposed Senior Loan, less any transaction
costs, are used to provide acquisition, rehabilitation and/or permanent financing for the Property.
(b) The holder of the proposed Senior Loan (the "Senior Lender") is a state or
federally chartered financial institution, a nonprofit corporation or a public entity that is not
affiliated with Borrower or any of Borrower's affiliates, other than as a depositor or a lender.
(c) Borrower demonstrates to the County's reasonable satisfaction that
subordination of the Deed of Trust and/or the Regulatory Agreement is necessary to secure
refinancing of the Harmony Loan and, if necessary, financing for the rehabilitation of the
Property, to ensure the viability of the Property, including the operation of the Property as a
residential care facility, as required by the Loan Documents. To satisfy this requirement,
Borrower must provide to the County, in addition to any other information reasonably required
by the County, evidence demonstrating that the proposed amount of the Senior Loan is necessary
to provide refinancing for the Harmony Loan and rehabilitation financing, if necessary to ensure
the viability of the Property, and adequate financing for the Property would not be available
without the proposed subordination.
(d) The subordination agreement is structured to minimize the risk that the
Deed of Trust and the Regulatory Agreement will be extinguished as a result of a foreclosure by
the Senior Lender. To satisfy this requirement, the subordination agreement must provide the
County with adequate rights to cure any defaults by Borrower, including: (i) providing the
County or its successor with copies of any notices of default at the same time and in the same
manner as provided to Borrower; and (ii) providing the County with a cure period of at least
sixty (60) days to cure any default.
(e) The subordination of the Loan is effective only during the original term of
the Senior Loan and any extension of its term that is approved in writing by the County.
863\84\866738.4 6
(f) The subordination does not limit the effect of the Deed of Trust and the
Regulatory Agreement before a foreclosure, nor require the consent of the Senior Lender prior to
the County exercising any remedies available to the County under the Loan Documents.
Upon a determination by the County's Deputy Director – Redevelopment that the
conditions in this Section have been satisfied, the Deputy Director – Redevelopment or his/her
designee will be authorized to execute the approved subordination agreement without the
necessity of any further action or approval.
Section 2.6 Conditions Precedent to Loan Closing and Property Acquisition.
The County is not obligated to finalize the Loan or take any other action under the Loan
Documents unless the following conditions precedent are satisfied, at which time the Loan will
be deemed to be disbursed:
(a) There exists no Event of Default nor any act, failure, omission or
condition that would constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement;
(b) The Borrower holds title to the Property or is acquiring title
simultaneously with the disbursement of the Loan proceeds;
(c) There exists no material adverse change in the financial condition of
Borrower from that shown by the financial statements and other data and information furnished
by Borrower to the County prior to the date of this Agreement;
(d) Borrower has delivered to the County a copy of a corporate resolution
authorizing Borrower's execution of the Loan Documents;
(e) Borrower has caused to be executed and delivered to the County the Loan
Documents and any other instruments and policies required under the Loan Documents;
(f) A title insurer reasonably acceptable to the County is unconditionally and
irrevocably committed to issuing a CLTA Lender's Policy of title insurance insuring the priority
of the Deed of Trust in the amount of the Loan, subject only to such exceptions and exclusions as
may be reasonably acceptable to the County, and containing such endorsements as the County
may reasonably require;
(g) The Deed of Trust and the Regulatory Agreement have been recorded
against the Property in the Office of the Recorder of the County of Contra Costa;
(h) Borrower has furnished the County with evidence of the insurance
coverage meeting the requirements of Section 3.13 below.
(i) Borrower has closed the Harmony Loan, or is closing it simultaneously
with the Loan.
863\84\866738.4 7
Section 2.7 Repayment.
(a) Initial Term. Provided the Term of the Loan has not been extended
beyond the Initial Term in accordance with Section 2.1, Borrower shall pay County the principal
amount of the Loan in full on December 7, 2030.
(b) Extension Term. If the Term of the Loan is extended beyond the Initial
Term in accordance with Section 2.1, the Loan will be forgiven at the end of the Extension Term,
provided Borrower is not in default under any of the Loan Documents on the last day of the
Extension Term.
(c) Repayment with Interest. Borrower shall pay the principal amount of the
Loan in full, with interest calculated in accordance with Section 2.2, upon the occurrence of any
of the events described in Section 2.2.
(d) Prepayment. Subject to the terms of Section 2.2., Borrower may prepay
the Loan at any time without premium or penalty. Interest, if any, will be determined in
accordance with Section 2.2. Notwithstanding any prepayment of the Loan, the Regulatory
Agreement and the Deed of Trust will remain in effect for the entire Term.
Section 2.8 Non-Recourse.
Except as provided below, neither the Borrower, nor any partner of the Borrower, has any
direct or indirect personal liability for payment of the principal of, and interest on, the Loan or
the performance of the covenants of the Borrower under the Deed of Trust. Following
recordation of the Deed of Trust, the sole recourse of the County with respect to the principal of,
or interest on, the Note and defaults by Borrower in the performance of its covenants under the
Deed of Trust will be to the property described in the Deed of Trust; provided, however, that
nothing contained in the foregoing limitation of liability limits or impairs the enforcement of all
the rights and remedies of the County against all such security for the Note, or impairs the right
of County to assert the unpaid principal amount of the Note as demand for money within the
meaning and intendment of Section 431.70 of the California Code of Civil Procedure or any
successor provision thereto. The foregoing limitation of liability is intended to apply only to the
obligation to repay the principal of, and payment of interest on the Note and the performance of
the Borrower's obligations under the Deed of Trust. Except as hereafter set forth; nothing
contained herein is intended to relieve the Borrower of its obligation to indemnify the County
under Sections 3.5, 3.6 and 6.4 of this Agreement, or liability for (i) fraud or willful
misrepresentation; (ii) the failure to pay taxes, assessments or other charges which may create
liens on the Property that are payable or applicable prior to any foreclosure under the Deed of
Trust (to the full extent of such taxes, assessments or other charges); (iii) the fair market value of
any personal property or fixtures removed or disposed of by Borrower other than in accordance
with the Deed of Trust; and (iv) the misappropriation of any proceeds under any insurance
policies or awards resulting from condemnation or the exercise of the power of eminent domain
or by reason of damage, loss or destruction to any portion of the Property.

used in and about residential property of this type.
(b) Borrower shall immediately advise the County in writing if at any time it
receives written notice of (i) any and all enforcement, cleanup, removal or other governmental or

to any applicable federal, state or local laws, ordinances, or regulations relating to any Hazardous
Materials, ("Hazardous Materials Law"), (ii) all claims made or threatened by any third party
against Borrower or the Property relating to damage, contribution, cost recovery compensation,
loss or injury resulting from any Hazardous Materials (the matters set forth in clauses (i) and (ii)

discovery of any occurrence or condition on any real property adjoining or in the vicinity of the
Property that could cause the Property or any part thereof to be classified as "border-zone
property" (as defined in California Health and Safety Code Section 25117.4) under the provision
of California Health and Safety Code, Section 25220 et seq., or any regulation adopted in
863\84\866738.4 14
accordance therewith, or to be otherwise subject to any restrictions on the ownership, occupancy,

(c) The County has the right to join and participate in, as a party if it so elects,

shall indemnify and hold harmless the County and its boardmembers, supervisors, directors,
officers, employees, agents, successors and assigns from and against any loss, damage, cost,

storage, release, threatened release, discharge, disposal, or presence of Hazardous Materials on,
under, or about the Property including without limitation: (i) all foreseeable consequential
damages, (ii) the costs of any required or necessary repair, cleanup or detoxification of the
Property and the preparation and implementation of any closure, remedial or other required
plans, and (iii) all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the County in connection with

Property and surrounding properties). This obligation to indemnify will survive termination of
this Agreement.
(d) Without the County's prior written consent, which will not be
unreasonably withheld, Borrower may not take any remedial action in response to the presence
of any Hazardous Materials on, under or about the Property, nor enter into any settlement
agreement, consent decree, or other compromise in respect to any Hazardous Material Claims,
which remedial action, settlement, consent decree or compromise might, in the County's
reasonable judgment, impair the value of the County's security hereunder; provided, however,
that the County's prior consent is not necessary in the event that the presence of Hazardous
Materials on, under, or about the Property either poses an immediate threat to the health, safety
or welfare of any individual or is of such a nature that an immediate remedial response is
necessary and it is not reasonably possible to obtain the County's consent before taking such
action, provided that in such event Borrower shall notify the County as soon as practicable of
any action so taken. The County agrees not to withhold its consent, where such consent is
required hereunder, if (i) a particular remedial action is ordered by a court of competent
jurisdiction, (ii) Borrower will or may be subjected to civil or criminal sanctions or penalties if it
fails to take a required action, (iii) Borrower establishes to the reasonable satisfaction of the
County that there is no reasonable alternative to such remedial action which would result in less
impairment of the County's security hereunder, or (iv) the action has been agreed to by the
County.
(e) Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) this Section is intended
as the County's written request for information (and Borrower's response) concerning the
environmental condition of the Property as required by California Code of Civil Procedure
863\84\866738.4 15
Section 726.5, and (ii) each representation and warranty in this Agreement (together with any
indemnity obligation applicable to a breach of any such representation and warranty) with
respect to the environmental condition of the Property is intended by the Parties to be an
"environmental provision" for purposes of California Code of Civil Procedure Section 736.
(f) In the event that any portion of the Property is determined to be
"environmentally impaired" (as that term is defined in California Code of Civil Procedure
Section 726.5(e)(3)) or to be an "affected parcel" (as that term is defined in California Code of
Civil Procedure Section 726.5(e)(1)), then, without otherwise limiting or in any way affecting the
County's or the trustee's rights and remedies under the Deed of Trust, the County may elect to
exercise its rights under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5(a) to (1) waive its lien
on such environmentally impaired or affected portion of the Property and (2) exercise (i) the
rights and remedies of an unsecured creditor, including reduction of its claim against the
Borrower to judgment, and (ii) any other rights and remedies permitted by law. For purposes of
determining the County's right to proceed as an unsecured creditor under California Code of
Civil Procedure Section 726.5(a), the Borrower will be deemed to have willfully permitted or
acquiesced in a release or threatened release of Hazardous Materials, within the meaning of
California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5(d)(1), if the release or threatened release of
Hazardous Materials was knowingly or negligently caused or contributed to by any lessee,
occupant, or user of any portion of the Property and the Borrower knew or should have known of
the activity by such lessee, occupant, or user which caused or contributed to the release or
threatened release. All costs and expenses, including (but not limited to) attorneys' fees, incurred
by the County in connection with any action commenced under this paragraph, including any
action required by California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5(b) to determine the degree
to which the Property is environmentally impaired, plus interest thereon at the lesser of ten
percent (10%) and the maximum rate permitted by law, until paid, will be added to the
indebtedness secured by the Deed of Trust and is due and payable to the County upon its demand
made at any time following the conclusion of such action.
Section 3.7 Maintenance and Damage.
(a) Borrower shall maintain the Property in good repair and in a neat, clean
and orderly condition. If there arises a condition in contravention of this requirement, and if
Borrower has not cured such condition within thirty (30) days after receiving a County notice of
such a condition, then in addition to any other rights available to the County, the County may
perform all acts necessary to cure such condition, and to establish or enforce a lien or other
encumbrance against the Property.
(b) If economically feasible in the County’s reasonable judgment after
consultation with the Borrower, if any improvement now or in the future on the Property is
damaged or destroyed, then Borrower shall, at its cost and expense, diligently undertake to repair
or restore such improvement consistent with the plans and specifications approved by the County
with such changes as have been approved by the County. Such work or repair is to be
commenced no later than the later of one hundred twenty (120) days, or such longer period
approved by the County in writing, after the damage or loss occurs or thirty (30) days following
receipt of the insurance proceeds, and is to be complete within one (1) year thereafter. Any
insurance proceeds collected for such damage or destruction are to be applied to the cost of such
863\84\866738.4 16
repairs or restoration and, if such insurance proceeds are insufficient for such purpose, then
Borrower shall make up the deficiency. If Borrower does not promptly make such repairs then
any insurance proceeds collected for such damage or destruction are to be promptly delivered by
the Borrower to the County as a special repayment of the Loan, subject to the rights of the Senior
Lenders, if any.
Section 3.8 Fees and Taxes.
Borrower is solely responsible for payment of all fees, assessments, taxes, charges, and
levies imposed by any public authority or utility company with respect to the Property, and shall
pay such charges prior to delinquency. However, Borrower is not required to pay and discharge
any such charge so long as (a) the legality thereof is being contested diligently and in good faith
and by appropriate proceedings, and (b) if requested by the County, Borrower deposits with the
County any funds or other forms of assurance that the County in good faith from time to time
determines appropriate to protect the County from the consequences of the contest being
unsuccessful.

a material risk of such litigation.

The Borrower covenants by and for itself and its successors and assigns that there will be
no discrimination against or segregation of a person or of a group of persons on account of race,
color, religion, creed, age, familial status, disability, sex, sexual orientation, marital status,
ancestry or national origin in the sale, lease, sublease, transfer, use, occupancy, tenure or
enjoyment of the Property, nor may the Borrower or any person claiming under or through the
Borrower establish or permit any such practice or practices of discrimination or segregation with
reference to the selection, location, number, use or occupancy of tenants, lessees, subtenants,
sublessees or vendees in the Property. The foregoing covenant will run with the land.

or notice to withhold for a period of twenty (20) days, without discharge or satisfaction thereof
or provision therefor (including, without limitation, the posting of bonds) satisfactory to the
County.
(h) Condemnation. The condemnation, seizure, or appropriation of all or the
substantial part of the Property.
(i) Unauthorized Transfer. Any Transfer other than as permitted by
Section 3.12.
(j) Representation or Warranty Incorrect. Any Borrower representation or
warranty contained in this Agreement, or in any application, financial statement, certificate, or
report submitted to the County in connection with any of the Loan Documents, proves to have
been incorrect in any material respect when made.
Section 5.2 Remedies.
The occurrence of any Event of Default hereunder following the expiration of all
applicable notice and cure periods will relieve the County of any obligation to make or continue
the Loan and will give the County the right to proceed with any and all remedies set forth in this
Agreement and the Loan Documents, including but not limited to the following:
(a) Acceleration of Note. The County may cause all indebtedness of the
Borrower to the County under this Agreement and the Note, together with any interest thereon,
to become immediately due and payable. The Borrower waives all right to presentment,
demand, protest or notice of protest or dishonor. The County may proceed to enforce payment of
the indebtedness and to exercise any or all rights afforded to the County as a creditor and secured
party under the law including the Uniform Commercial Code, including foreclosure under the
Deed of Trust. The Borrower is liable to pay the County on demand all reasonable expenses,
costs and fees (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees and expenses) paid or
incurred by the County in connection with the collection of the Loan and the preservation,
maintenance, protection, sale, or other disposition of the security given for the Loan.
(b) Specific Performance. The County has the right to mandamus or other
suit, action or proceeding at law or in equity to require Borrower to perform its obligations and
covenants under the Loan Documents or to enjoin acts on things which may be unlawful or in
violation of the provisions of the Loan Documents.
(c) Right to Cure at Borrower's Expense. The County has the right (but not
the obligation) to cure any monetary default by Borrower under a loan other than the Loan. The
Borrower shall reimburse the County for any funds advanced by the County to cure a monetary
default by Borrower upon demand therefor, together with interest thereon at the lesser of ten
863\84\866738.4 23
percent (10%) or the maximum rate permitted by law, from the date of expenditure until the date
of reimbursement.
Section 5.3 Right of Contest.
Borrower may contest in good faith any claim, demand, levy, or assessment the assertion
of which would constitute an Event of Default hereunder. Any such contest is to be prosecuted
diligently and in a manner unprejudicial to the County or the rights of the County hereunder.
Section 5.4 Remedies Cumulative.
No right, power, or remedy given to the County by the terms of this Agreement or the
Loan Documents is intended to be exclusive of any other right, power, or remedy; and each and
every such right, power, or remedy will be cumulative and in addition to every other right,
power, or remedy given to the County by the terms of any such instrument, or by any statute or
otherwise against Borrower and any other person. Neither the failure nor any delay on the part
of the County to exercise any such rights and remedies will operate as a waiver thereof, nor does
any single or partial exercise by the County of any such right or remedy preclude any other or
further exercise of such right or remedy, or any other right or remedy.

ARTICLE 2
MAINTENANCE AND MODIFICATION OF THE PROPERTY
AND SECURITY
Section 2.1 Maintenance and Modification of the Property by Trustor.
The Trustor agrees that at all times prior to full payment and performance of the Secured
Obligations, the Trustor will, at the Trustor's own expense, maintain, preserve and keep the
Security or cause the Security to be maintained and preserved in good condition. The Trustor
will from time to time make or cause to be made all repairs, replacements and renewals deemed
proper and necessary by it. The Beneficiary has no responsibility in any of these matters or for
the making of improvements or additions to the Security.
Trustor agrees to pay fully and discharge (or cause to be paid fully and discharged) all
claims for labor done and for material and services furnished in connection with the Security,
diligently to file or procure the filing of a valid notice of cessation upon the event of a cessation
of labor on the work or construction on the Security for a continuous period of thirty (30) days or
more, and to take all other reasonable steps to forestall the assertion of claims of lien against the
Security of any part thereof. Trustor irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes Beneficiary
as its agent (said agency being coupled with an interest) with the authority, but without any
obligation, to file for record any notices of completion or cessation of labor or any other notice
that Beneficiary deems necessary or desirable to protect its interest in and to the Security or the
Loan Documents; provided, however, that Beneficiary exercises its rights as agent of Trustor
only in the event that Trustor fails to take, or fails to diligently continue to take, those actions as
hereinbefore provided.
Upon demand by Beneficiary, Trustor shall make or cause to be made such demands or
claims as Beneficiary specifies upon laborers, materialmen, subcontractors or other persons who
have furnished or claim to have furnished labor, services or materials in connection with the
Security. Nothing herein contained requires Trustor to pay any claims for labor, materials or
services which Trustor in good faith disputes and is diligently contesting provided that Trustor
shall, within thirty (30) days after the filing of any claim of lien, record in the Office of the
Recorder of Contra Costa County, a surety bond in an amount 1 and 1/2 times the amount of
such claim item to protect against a claim of lien.
Section 2.2 Granting of Easements.
Trustor may not grant easements, licenses, rights-of-way or other rights or privileges in
the nature of easements with respect to any property or rights included in the Security except
those required or desirable for installation and maintenance of public utilities including, without
863\01\833274.1 5
limitation, water, gas, electricity, sewer, telephone and telegraph, or those required by law, and
as approved, in writing, by Beneficiary.
Section 2.3 Assignment of Rents.
As part of the consideration for the indebtedness evidenced by the Note, Trustor hereby
absolutely and unconditionally assigns and transfers to Beneficiary all the rents and revenues of
the Property including those now due, past due, or to become due by virtue of any lease or other
agreement for the occupancy or use of all or any part of the Property, regardless of to whom the
rents and revenues of the Property are payable. Trustor hereby authorizes Beneficiary or
Beneficiary's agents to collect the aforesaid rents and revenues and hereby directs each tenant of
the Property to pay such rents to Beneficiary or Beneficiary's agents; provided, however, that
prior to written notice given by Beneficiary to Trustor of the breach by Trustor of any covenant
or agreement of Trustor in the Loan Documents, Trustor shall collect and receive all rents and
revenues of the Property as trustee for the benefit of Beneficiary and Trustor to apply the rents
and revenues so collected to the Secured Obligations with the balance, so long as no such breach
has occurred, to the account of Trustor, it being intended by Trustor and Beneficiary that this
assignment of rents constitutes an absolute assignment and not an assignment for additional
security only. Upon delivery of written notice by Beneficiary to Trustor of the breach by Trustor
of any covenant or agreement of Trustor in the Loan Documents, and without the necessity of
Beneficiary entering upon and taking and maintaining full control of the Property in person, by
agent or by a court-appointed receiver, Beneficiary shall immediately be entitled to possession of
all rents and revenues of the Property as specified in this Section 2.3 as the same becomes due
and payable, including but not limited to, rents then due and unpaid, and all such rents will
immediately upon delivery of such notice be held by Trustor as trustee for the benefit of
Beneficiary only; provided, however, that the written notice by Beneficiary to Trustor of the
breach by Trustor contains a statement that Beneficiary exercises its rights to such rents. Trustor
agrees that commencing upon delivery of such written notice of Trustor's breach by Beneficiary
to Trustor, each tenant of the Property shall make such rents payable to and pay such rents to
Beneficiary or Beneficiary's agents on Beneficiary's written demand to each tenant therefore,
delivered to each tenant personally, by mail or by delivering such demand to each rental unit,
without any liability on the part of said tenant to inquire further as to the existence of a default by
Trustor.
Trustor hereby covenants that Trustor has not executed any prior assignment of said
rents, that Trustor has not performed, and will not perform, any acts or has not executed and will
not execute, any instrument which would prevent Beneficiary from exercising its rights under
this Section 2.3, and that at the time of execution of this Deed of Trust, there has been no
anticipation or prepayment of any of the rents of the Property for more than two (2) months prior
to the due dates of such rents. Trustor covenants that Trustor will not hereafter collect or accept
payment of any rents of the Property more than two (2) months prior to the due dates of such
rents. Trustor further covenant that Trustor will execute and deliver to Beneficiary such further
assignments of rents and revenues of the Property as Beneficiary may from time to time request.
Upon Trustor's breach of any covenant or agreement of Trustor in the Loan Documents,
Beneficiary may in person, by agent or by a court-appointed receiver, regardless of the adequacy
of Beneficiary's security, enter upon and take and maintain full control of the Property in order to
863\01\833274.1 6
perform all acts necessary and appropriate for the operation and maintenance thereof including,
but not limited to, the execution, cancellation or modification of leases, the collection of all rents
and revenues of the Property, the making of repairs to the Property and the execution or
termination of contracts providing for the management or maintenance of the Property, all on
such terms as are deemed best to protect the security of this Deed of Trust. In the event
Beneficiary elects to seek the appointment of a receiver for the Property upon Trustor's breach of
any covenant or agreement of Trustor in this Deed of Trust, Trustor hereby expressly consents to
the appointment of such receiver. Beneficiary or the receiver will be entitled to receive a
reasonable fee for so managing the Property.
All rents and revenues collected subsequent to delivery of written notice by Beneficiary
to Trustor of the breach by Trustor of any covenant or agreement of Trustor in the Loan
Documents are to applied first to the costs, if any, of taking control of and managing the Property
and collecting the rents, including, but not limited to, attorney's fees, receiver's fees, premiums
on receiver's bonds, costs of repairs to the Property, premiums on insurance policies, taxes,
assessments and other charges on the Property, and the costs of discharging any obligation or
liability of Trustor as lessor or landlord of the Property and then to the sums secured by this deed
of Trust. Beneficiary or the receiver is to have access to the books and records used in the
operation and maintenance of the Property and will be liable to account only for those rents
actually received. Beneficiary is not liable to Trustor, anyone claiming under or through Trustor
or anyone having an interest in the Property by reason of anything done or left undone by
Beneficiary under this Section 2.3.
If the rents of the Property are not sufficient to meet the costs, if any, of taking control of
and managing the Property and collecting the rents, any funds expended by Beneficiary for such
purposes will become part of the Secured Obligations pursuant to Section 3.3 hereof. Unless
Beneficiary and Trustor agree in writing to other terms of payment, such amounts are payable by
Trustor to Beneficiary upon notice from Beneficiary to Trustor requesting payment thereof and
will bear interest from the date of disbursement at the rate stated in Section 3.3.
If the Beneficiary or the receiver enters upon and takes and maintains control of the
Property, neither that act nor any application of rents as provided herein will cure or waive any
default under this Deed of Trust or invalidate any other right or remedy available to Beneficiary
under applicable law or under this Deed of Trust. This assignment of rents of the Property will
terminate at such time as this Deed of Trust ceases to secure the Secured Obligations.
ARTICLE 3
TAXES AND INSURANCE; ADVANCES
Section 3.1 Taxes, Other Governmental Charges and Utility Charges.
Trustor shall pay, or cause to be paid, prior to the date of delinquency, all taxes,
assessments, charges and levies imposed by any public authority or utility company that are or
may become a lien affecting the Security or any part thereof; provided, however, that Trustor is
not required to pay and discharge any such tax, assessment, charge or levy so long as (a) the
legality thereof is promptly and actively contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings,
863\01\833274.1 7
and (b) Trustor maintains reserves adequate to pay any liabilities contested pursuant to this
Section 3.1. With respect to taxes, special assessments or other similar governmental charges,
Trustor shall pay such amount in full prior to the attachment of any lien therefore on any part of
the Security; provided, however, if such taxes, assessments or charges can be paid in
installments, Trustor may pay in such installments. Except as provided in clause (b) of the first
sentence of this paragraph, the provisions of this Section 3.1 must not be construed to require
that Trustor maintain a reserve account, escrow account, impound account or other similar
account for the payment of future taxes, assessments, charges and levies.
In the event that Trustor fails to pay any of the items required by this Section to be paid
by Trustor, Beneficiary may (but is under no obligation to) pay the same, after the Beneficiary
has notified the Trustor of such failure to pay and the Trustor fails to fully pay such items within
seven (7) business days after receipt of such notice. Any amount so advanced therefore by
Beneficiary, together with interest thereon from the date of such advance at the maximum rate
permitted by law, will become part of the Secured Obligations secured hereby, and Trustor
agrees to pay all such amounts.
Section 3.2 Provisions Respecting Insurance.
Trustor agrees to provide insurance conforming in all respects to that required under the
Loan Documents during the course of construction and following completion, and at all times
until all amounts secured by this Deed of Trust have been paid, all Secured Obligations secured
hereunder have been fulfilled, and this Deed of Trust has been reconveyed.
All such insurance policies and coverages are to be maintained at Trustor's sole cost and
expense. Certificates of insurance for all of the above insurance policies, showing the same to be
in full force and effect, are to be delivered to the Beneficiary upon demand therefore at any time
prior to Trustor's satisfaction of the Secured Obligations.
Section 3.3 Advances.
In the event the Trustor fails to maintain the full insurance coverage required by this
Deed of Trust or fails to keep the Security in accordance with the Loan Documents, the
Beneficiary, after at least seven (7) days prior notice to Trustor, may (but is under no obligation
to) (i) take out the required policies of insurance and pay the premiums on the same, and (ii)
make any repairs or replacements that are necessary and provide for payment thereof. All
amounts so advanced by the Beneficiary will become part of the Secured Obligations (together
with interest as set forth below) and will be secured hereby, which amounts the Trustor agrees to
pay on the demand of the Beneficiary, and if not so paid, will bear interest from the date of the
advance at the lesser of ten percent (10%) per annum or the maximum rate permitted by law.
863\01\833274.1 8
ARTICLE 4
DAMAGE, DESTRUCTION OR CONDEMNATION
Section 4.1 Awards and Damages.
All judgments, awards of damages, settlements and compensation made in connection
with or in lieu of (1) the taking of all or any part of or any interest in the Property by or under
assertion of the power of eminent domain, (2) any damage to or destruction of the Property or
any part thereof by insured casualty, and (3) any other injury or damage to all or any part of the
Property (collectively, the "Funds") are hereby assigned to and are to be paid to the Beneficiary
by a check made payable to the Beneficiary. The Beneficiary is authorized and empowered (but
not required) to collect and receive any Funds and is authorized to apply them in whole or in part
to any indebtedness or obligation secured hereby, in such order and manner as the Beneficiary
determines at its sole option. The Beneficiary is entitled to settle and adjust all claims under
insurance policies provided under this Deed of Trust and may deduct and retain from the
proceeds of such insurance the amount of all expenses incurred by it in connection with any such
settlement or adjustment. All or any part of the amounts so collected and recovered by the
Beneficiary may be released to Trustor upon such conditions as the Beneficiary may impose for
its disposition. Application of all or any part of the Funds collected and received by the
Beneficiary or the release thereof will not cure or waive any default under this Deed of Trust.
The rights of the Beneficiary under this Section 4.1 are subject to the rights of any senior
mortgage lender. The Beneficiary shall release the Funds to Trustor to be used to reconstruct the
improvements on the Property provided that Beneficiary reasonably determines that Trustor
(taking into account the Funds) has sufficient funds to rebuild the improvements in substantially
the form that existed prior to the casualty or condemnation.
ARTICLE 5
AGREEMENTS AFFECTING THE PROPERTY; FURTHER
ASSURANCES; PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST
Section 5.1 Other Agreements Affecting Property.
The Trustor shall duly and punctually perform all terms, covenants, conditions and
agreements binding upon it under the Loan Documents and any other agreement of any nature
whatsoever now or hereafter involving or affecting the Security or any part thereof.
Section 5.2 Agreement to Pay Attorneys' Fees and Expenses.
In the event of any Event of Default (as defined in Section 7.1) hereunder, and if the
Beneficiary employs attorneys or incurs other expenses for the collection of amounts due
hereunder or the enforcement of performance or observance of an obligation or agreement on the
part of the Trustor in this Deed of Trust, the Trustor agrees that it will, on demand therefore, pay
to the Beneficiary the reasonable fees of such attorneys and such other reasonable expenses so
incurred by the Beneficiary. Any such amounts paid by the Beneficiary will be added to the
863\01\833274.1 9
Secured Obligations, and will bear interest from the date such expenses are incurred at the lesser
of ten percent (10%) per annum or the maximum rate permitted by law.
Section 5.3 Payment of the Principal.
The Trustor shall pay to the Beneficiary the Principal and any other payments as set forth
in the Note in the amounts and by the times set out therein.
Section 5.4 Personal Property.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the personal property subject to this Deed of
Trust is deemed to be fixtures and part of the real property and this Deed of Trust constitutes a
fixtures filing under the California Commercial Code. As to any personal property not deemed
or permitted to be fixtures, this Deed of Trust constitutes a security agreement under the
California Commercial Code.
Section 5.5 Financing Statement.
The Trustor shall execute and deliver to the Beneficiary such financing statements
pursuant to the appropriate statutes, and any other documents or instruments as are required to
convey to the Beneficiary a valid perfected security interest in the Security. The Trustor shall
perform all acts that the Beneficiary reasonably requests so as to enable the Beneficiary to
maintain a valid perfected security interest in the Security in order to secure the payment of the
Note in accordance with its terms. The Beneficiary is authorized to file a copy of any such
financing statement in any jurisdiction(s) as it deems appropriate from time to time in order to
protect the security interest established pursuant to this instrument.
Section 5.6 Operation of the Security.
The Trustor shall operate the Security (and, in case of a transfer of a portion of the
Security subject to this Deed of Trust, the transferee shall operate such portion of the Security) in
full compliance with the Loan Documents.
Section 5.7 Inspection of the Security.
At any and all reasonable times upon seventy-two (72) hours' notice, the Beneficiary and
its duly authorized agents, attorneys, experts, engineers, accountants and representatives, may
inspect the Security, without payment of charges or fees.
Section 5.8 Nondiscrimination.
The Trustor herein covenants by and for itself, its heirs, executors, administrators, and
assigns, and all persons claiming under or through them, that there will be no discrimination
against or segregation of, any person or group of persons on account of race, color, creed,
religion, age, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, national origin or ancestry in the sale, lease,
sublease, transfer, use, occupancy, tenure or enjoyment of the Security, nor will the Trustor itself
or any person claiming under or through it establish or permit any such practice or practices of
discrimination or segregation with reference to the selection, location, number, use or occupancy
863\01\833274.1 10
of tenants, lessees, subtenants, sublessees or vendees in the Security. The foregoing covenants
will run with the land.
ARTICLE 6
HAZARDOUS WASTE
Trustor shall keep and maintain the Property in compliance with, and shall not cause or
permit the Property to be in violation of any federal, state or local laws, ordinances or regulations
relating to industrial hygiene or to the environmental conditions on, under or about the Property
including, but not limited to, soil and ground water conditions. Trustor shall not use, generate,
manufacture, store or dispose of on, under, or about the Property or transport to or from the
Property any flammable explosives, radioactive materials, hazardous wastes, toxic substances or
related materials, including without limitation, any substances defined as or included in the
definition of "hazardous substances", hazardous wastes", "hazardous materials", or "toxic
substances" under any applicable federal or state laws or regulations (collectively referred to
hereinafter as "Hazardous Materials") except such of the foregoing as may be customarily used
in construction or operation of a multi-family residential development.
Trustor shall immediately advise Beneficiary in writing if at any time it receives written
notice of: (i) any and all enforcement, cleanup, removal or other governmental or regulatory
actions instituted, completed or threatened against Trustor or the Property pursuant to any
applicable federal, state or local laws, ordinances, or regulations relating to any Hazardous
Materials, ("Hazardous Materials Law"); (ii) all claims made or threatened by any third party
against Trustor or the Property relating to damage, contribution, cost recovery compensation,
loss or injury resulting from any Hazardous Materials (the matters set forth in clauses (i) and (ii)
above are hereinafter referred to as "Hazardous Materials Claims"); and (iii) Trustor's discovery
of any occurrence or condition on any real property adjoining or in the vicinity of the Property
that could cause the Property or any part thereof to be classified as "border-zone property" (as
defined in California Health and Safety Code Section 25117.4) under the provision of California
Health and Safety Code Section 25220 et seq., or any regulation adopted in accordance
therewith, or to be otherwise subject to any restrictions on the ownership, occupancy,
transferability or use of the Property under any Hazardous Materials Law.
Beneficiary has the right to join and participate in, as a party if it so elects, any legal
proceedings or actions initiated in connection with any Hazardous Materials Claims and to have
its reasonable attorneys' fees in connection therewith paid by Trustor. Trustor shall indemnify
and hold harmless Beneficiary and its boardmembers, supervisors, directors, officers, employees,
agents, successors and assigns from and against any loss, damage, cost, expense or liability
directly or indirectly arising out of or attributable to the use, generation, storage, release,
threatened release, discharge, disposal, or presence of Hazardous Materials on, under, or about
the Property including without limitation: (a) all foreseeable consequential damages; (b) the
costs of any required or necessary repair, cleanup or detoxification of the Property and the
preparation and implementation of any closure, remedial or other required plans; and (c) all
reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Beneficiary in connection with clauses (a) and (b),
including but not limited to reasonable attorneys' fees and consultant's fees. This
indemnification applies whether or not any government agency has issued a cleanup order.
863\01\833274.1 11
Losses, claims, costs, suits, liability, and expenses covered by this indemnification provision
include, but are not limited to: (1) losses attributable to diminution in the value of the Property;
(2) loss or restriction of use of rentable space on the Property; (3) adverse effect on the
marketing of any rental space on the Property; and (4) penalties and fines levied by, and remedial
or enforcement actions of any kind issued by any regulatory agency (including but not limited to
the costs of any required testing, remediation, repair, removal, cleanup or detoxification of the
Property and surrounding properties).
Without Beneficiary's prior written consent, which may not be unreasonably withheld,
Trustor may not take any remedial action in response to the presence of any Hazardous Materials
on, under or about the Property, nor enter into any settlement agreement, consent decree, or other
compromise in respect to any Hazardous Material Claims, which remedial action, settlement,
consent decree or compromise might, in Beneficiary's reasonable judgment, impairs the value of
the Beneficiary's security hereunder; provided, however, that Beneficiary's prior consent is not
necessary in the event that the presence of Hazardous Materials on, under, or about the Property
either poses an immediate threat to the health, safety or welfare of any individual or is of such a
nature that an immediate remedial response is necessary and it is not reasonably possible to
obtain Beneficiary's consent before taking such action, provided that in such event Trustor
notifies Beneficiary as soon as practicable of any action so taken. Beneficiary agrees not to
withhold its consent, where such consent is required hereunder, if (i) a particular remedial action
is ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction; (ii) Trustor will or may be subjected to civil or
criminal sanctions or penalties if it fails to take a required action; (iii) Trustor establishes to the
reasonable satisfaction of Beneficiary that there is no reasonable alternative to such remedial
action which would result in less impairment of Beneficiary's security hereunder; or (iv) the
action has been agreed to by Beneficiary.
The Trustor hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) this Article is intended as the
Beneficiary's written request for information (and the Trustor's response) concerning the
environmental condition of the Property as required by California Code of Civil Procedure
Section 726.5, and (ii) each representation and warranty in this Deed of Trust or any of the other
Loan Documents (together with any indemnity applicable to a breach of any such representation
and warranty) with respect to the environmental condition of the property is intended by the
Beneficiary and the Trustor to be an "environmental provision" for purposes of California Code
of Civil Procedure Section 736.
In the event that any portion of the Property is determined to be "environmentally
impaired" (as that term is defined in California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5(e)(3)) or
to be an "affected parcel" (as that term is defined in California Code of Civil Procedure Section
726.5(e)(1)), then, without otherwise limiting or in any way affecting the Beneficiary's or the
Trustee's rights and remedies under this Deed of Trust, the Beneficiary may elect to exercise its
rights under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5(a) to (1) waive its lien on such
environmentally impaired or affected portion of the Property and (2) exercise (a) the rights and
remedies of an unsecured creditor, including reduction of its claim against the Trustor to
judgment, and (b) any other rights and remedies permitted by law. For purposes of determining
the Beneficiary's right to proceed as an unsecured creditor under California Code of Civil
Procedure Section 726.5(a), the Trustor will be deemed to have willfully permitted or acquiesced
in a release or threatened release of hazardous materials, within the meaning of California Code
863\01\833274.1 12
of Civil Procedure Section 726.5(d)(1), if the release or threatened release of hazardous materials
was knowingly or negligently caused or contributed to by any lessee, occupant, or user of any
portion of the Property and the Trustor knew or should have known of the activity by such
lessee, occupant, or user which caused or contributed to the release or threatened release. All
costs and expenses, including (but not limited to) attorneys' fees, incurred by the Beneficiary in
connection with any action commenced under this paragraph, including any action required by
California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5(b) to determine the degree to which the
Property is environmentally impaired, plus interest thereon at the default rate specified in the
Loan Agreement until paid, will be added to the indebtedness secured by this Deed of Trust and
will be due and payable to the Beneficiary upon its demand made at any time following the
conclusion of such action.
ARTICLE 7
EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
Section 7.1 Events of Default.
The following are events of default ("Events of Default") following the expiration of any
applicable notice and cure periods: (i) failure to make any payment to be paid by Trustor under
the Loan Documents; (ii) failure to observe or perform any of Trustor's other covenants,
agreements or obligations under the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the
provisions concerning discrimination; (iii) failure to make any payment or observe or perform
any of Trustor's other covenants, agreements, or obligations under any Secured Obligations,
which default is not cured within the times and in the manner provided therein; and (iv) failure to
make any payments or observe or perform any of Trustor's other covenants, agreements or
obligations under any other debt instrument or regulatory agreement secured by the Property,
which default is not cured within the time and in the manner provided therein.
Section 7.2 Acceleration of Maturity.
If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then at the option of the
Beneficiary, the amount of any payment related to the Event of Default and all unpaid Secured
Obligations are immediately due and payable, and no omission on the part of the Beneficiary to
exercise such option when entitled to do so will be construed as a waiver of such right.
Section 7.3 The Beneficiary's Right to Enter and Take Possession.
If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Beneficiary may:
(a) Either in person or by agent, with or without bringing any action or
proceeding, or by a receiver appointed by a court, and without regard to the adequacy of its
security, enter upon the Property and take possession thereof (or any part thereof) and of any of
the Security, in its own name or in the name of Trustee, and do any acts that it deems necessary
or desirable to preserve the value or marketability of the Property, or part thereof or interest
therein, increase the income therefrom or protect the security thereof. The entering upon and
taking possession of the Security will not cure or waive any Event of Default or Notice of Sale
(as defined in Section 7.3(c), below) hereunder or invalidate any act done in response to such
863\01\833274.1 13
Event of Default or pursuant to such Notice of Sale, and, notwithstanding the continuance in
possession of the Security, Beneficiary will be entitled to exercise every right provided for in this
Deed of Trust, or by law upon occurrence of any Event of Default, including the right to exercise
the power of sale;
(b) Commence an action to foreclose this Deed of Trust as a mortgage,
appoint a receiver, or specifically enforce any of the covenants hereof;
(c) Deliver to Trustee a written declaration of default and demand for sale,
and a written notice of default and election to cause Trustor's interest in the Security to be sold
("Notice of Sale"), which notice Trustee or Beneficiary shall cause to be duly filed for record in
the Official Records of Contra Costa County; or
(d) Exercise all other rights and remedies provided herein, in the instruments
by which the Trustor acquires title to any Security, or in any other document or agreement now
or hereafter evidencing, creating or securing the Secured Obligations.
Section 7.4 Foreclosure By Power of Sale.
Should the Beneficiary elect to foreclose by exercise of the power of sale herein
contained, the Beneficiary shall deliver to the Trustee the Notice of Sale and shall deposit with
Trustee this Deed of Trust which is secured hereby (and the deposit of which will be deemed to
constitute evidence that the Secured Obligations are immediately due and payable), and such
receipts and evidence of any expenditures made that are additionally secured hereby as Trustee
may require.
(a) Upon receipt of such Notice of Sale from the Beneficiary, Trustee shall
cause to be recorded, published and delivered to Trustor such Notice of Sale as is then required
by law and by this Deed of Trust. Trustee shall, without demand on Trustor, after the lapse of
that amount of time as is then required by law and after recordation of such Notice of Sale as
required by law, sell the Security, at the time and place of sale set forth in the Notice of Sale,
whether as a whole or in separate lots or parcels or items, as Trustee deems expedient and in
such order as it determines, unless specified otherwise by the Trustor according to California
Civil Code Section 2924g(b), at public auction to the highest bidder, for cash in lawful money of
the United States payable at the time of sale. Trustee shall deliver to such purchaser or
purchasers thereof its good and sufficient deed or deeds conveying the property so sold, but
without any covenant or warranty, express or implied. The recitals in such deed or any matters
of facts will be conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof. Any person, including, without
limitation, Trustor, Trustee or Beneficiary, may purchase at such sale.
(b) After deducting all reasonable costs, fees and expenses of Trustee,
including costs of evidence of title in connection with such sale, Trustee shall apply the proceeds
of sale to payment of: (i) the unpaid Principal amount of the Note; (ii) all other Secured
Obligations owed to Beneficiary under the Loan Documents; (iii) all other sums then secured
hereby; and (iv) the remainder, if any, to Trustor.
863\01\833274.1 14
(c) Trustee may postpone sale of all or any portion of the Property by public
announcement at such time and place of sale, and from time to time thereafter, and without
further notice make such sale at the time fixed by the last postponement, or may, in its discretion,
give a new Notice of Sale.
Section 7.5 Receiver.
If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, Beneficiary, as a matter of right and
without further notice to Trustor or anyone claiming under the Security, and without regard to
the then value of the Security or the interest of Trustor therein, may apply to any court having
jurisdiction to appoint a receiver or receivers of the Security (or a part thereof), and Trustor
hereby irrevocably consents to such appointment and waives further notice of any application
therefore. Any such receiver or receivers will have all the usual powers and duties of receivers
in like or similar cases, and all the powers and duties of Beneficiary in case of entry as provided
herein, and will continue as such and exercise all such powers until the date of confirmation of
sale of the Security, unless such receivership is sooner terminated.
Section 7.6 Remedies Cumulative.
No right, power or remedy conferred upon or reserved to the Beneficiary by this Deed of
Trust is intended to be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy, but each and every such
right, power and remedy will be cumulative and concurrent and will be in addition to any other
right, power and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity.
Section 7.7 No Waiver.
(a) No delay or omission of the Beneficiary to exercise any right, power or
remedy accruing upon any Event of Default will exhaust or impair any such right, power or
remedy, or will be construed to be a waiver of any such Event of Default or acquiescence
therein; and every right, power and remedy given by this Deed of Trust to the Beneficiary may
be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expeditious by the Beneficiary.
Beneficiary's express or implied consent to breach, or waiver of, any obligation of the Trustor
hereunder will not be deemed or construed to be a consent to any subsequent breach, or further
waiver, of such obligation or of any other obligations of the Trustor hereunder. Failure on the
part of the Beneficiary to complain of any act or failure to act or to declare an Event of Default,
irrespective of how long such failure continues, will not constitute a waiver by the Beneficiary of
its right hereunder or impair any rights, power or remedies consequent on any Event of Default
by the Trustor.
(b) If the Beneficiary (i) grants forbearance or an extension of time for the
payment or performance of any Secured Obligation, (ii) takes other or additional security or the
payment of any sums secured hereby, (iii) waives or does not exercise any right granted in the
Loan Documents, (iv) releases any part of the Security from the lien of this Deed of Trust, or
otherwise changes any of the terms, covenants, conditions or agreements in the Loan Documents,
(v) consents to the granting of any easement or other right affecting the Security, or (vi) makes or
consents to any agreement subordinating the lien hereof, any such act or omission will not
release, discharge, modify, change or affect the original liability under this Deed of Trust, or any
other obligation of the Trustor or any subsequent purchaser of the Security or any part thereof, or
863\01\833274.1 15
any maker, co-signer, endorser, surety or guarantor (unless expressly released); nor must any
such act or omission preclude the Beneficiary from exercising any right, power or privilege
herein granted or intended to be granted in any Event of Default then made or of any subsequent
Event of Default, nor, except as otherwise expressly provided in an instrument or instruments
executed by the Beneficiary, will the lien of this Deed of Trust be altered thereby.
Section 7.8 Suits to Protect the Security.
The Beneficiary has the power to (a) institute and maintain such suits and proceedings as
it may deem expedient to prevent any impairment of the Security and the rights of the
Beneficiary as may be unlawful or any violation of this Deed of Trust, (b) preserve or protect its
interest (as described in this Deed of Trust) in the Security, and (c) restrain the enforcement of or
compliance with any legislation or other governmental enactment, rule or order that may be
unconstitutional or otherwise invalid, if the enforcement for compliance with such enactment,
rule or order would impair the Security thereunder or be prejudicial to the interest of the
Beneficiary.
Section 7.9 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.
In the case of any receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement,
adjustment, composition or other proceedings affecting the Trustor, its creditors or its property,
the Beneficiary, to the extent permitted by law, will be entitled to file such proofs of claim and
other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Beneficiary
allowed in such proceedings and for any additional amount that becomes due and payable by the
Trustor hereunder after such date.
Section 7.10 Waiver.
The Trustor waives presentment, demand for payment, notice of dishonor, notice of
protest and nonpayment, protest, notice of interest on interest and late charges, and diligence in
taking any action to collect any Secured Obligations or in proceedings against the Security, in
connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default, endorsement or guaranty of this
Deed of Trust.

PROMISSORY NOTE
CDBG Loan
(Future Colours Corp.)
$452,550 Martinez, California
December 8, 2010
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned FUTURE COLOURS CORP., a California
nonprofit public benefit corporation ("Borrower") hereby promises to pay to the order of the
COUNTY OF CONTRA COSTA, a political subdivision of the State of California ("Holder"), the
principal amount of Four Hundred Fifty-Two Thousand Five Hundred Fifty Dollars ($452,550)
plus interest thereon pursuant to Section 2 below.
1. Borrower's Obligation. This promissory note (“Note”) evidences Borrower's
obligation to pay Holder the principal amount of Four Hundred Fifty-Two Thousand Five
Hundred Fifty Dollars ($452,550) loaned to Borrower by Holder to finance the acquisition of the
Property pursuant to the CDBG Loan Agreement between Borrower and Holder of even date
herewith (the "Loan Agreement"). All capitalized terms not defined in this Note have the
meanings set forth in the Loan Agreement.
2. Interest.
This Note does not bear any interest, except that on the occurrence of any of the
following events, Borrower shall pay Holder interest in an amount equal to the Appreciated
Value:
(a) A change in the use of the Property that triggers the application of 24 CFR
570.503(b)(7)(ii).
(b) Any Transfer.
(c) An Event of a Default.
3. Term and Repayment Requirements. The term of this Note is the same as the
Term of the Loan Agreement. This Note is due and payable as set forth in Section 2.7 of the
Loan Agreement; however, payment under this Note may be accelerated pursuant to Section 7
below.
4. No Assumption. This Note is not assumable by the successors and assigns of
Borrower without the prior written consent of Holder.
5. Security. This Note, with interest, is secured by the Deed of Trust. Upon
execution, the Deed of Trust will be recorded in the official records of Contra Costa County,
California. Upon recordation of the Deed of Trust, this Note will become nonrecourse to
Borrower, pursuant to and except as provided in Section 2.8 of the Loan Agreement.
863\84\866739.4 2
6. Terms of Payment.
(a) Borrower shall make all payments due under this Note in currency of the
United States of America. Borrower shall make all payments to Holder at the following address:
Department of Conservation and Development – Redevelopment Division, 2530 Arnold Drive,
Suite 190, Martinez, CA 94553, Attention: Deputy Director-Redevelopment, or to such other
place as Holder may from time to time designate.
(b) All payments on this Note are without expense to Holder. Borrower shall
pay all costs and expenses, including re-conveyance fees and reasonable attorney's fees of
Holder, incurred in connection with the payment of this Note and the release of any security
hereof.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Note, or any instrument
securing the obligations of Borrower under this Note, if, for any reason whatsoever, the payment
of any sums by Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Note would result in the payment of
interest that exceeds the amount that Holder may legally charge under the laws of the State of
California, then the amount by which payments exceed the lawful interest rate will automatically
be deducted from the principal balance owing on this Note, so that in no event is Borrower
obligated under the terms of this Note to pay any interest that exceeds the lawful rate.
(d) The obligations of Borrower under this Note are absolute and Borrower
waives any and all rights to offset, deduct or withhold any payments or charges due under this
Note for any reason whatsoever.
7. Event of Default.
(a) Any Event of Default, pursuant to and as defined in Section 5.1 of the
Loan Agreement, is also an event of default under this Promissory Note. Upon the occurrence of
such an event of default, the entire unpaid principal balance, together with all interest thereon,
and together with all other sums then payable under this Note and the Deed of Trust is, at the
option of the Holder, immediately due and payable without further demand.
(b) Holder's failure to exercise the remedy set forth in Subsection 7(a) above
or any other remedy provided by law upon the occurrence of an Event of Default does not
constitute a waiver of the right to exercise any remedy at any subsequent time in respect to the
same or any other event of default. The acceptance by Holder of any payment that is less than
the total of all amounts due and payable at the time of such payment does not constitute a waiver
of the right to exercise any of the foregoing remedies or options at that time or at any subsequent
time, or nullify any prior exercise of any such remedy or option, without the express consent of
Holder, except as and to the extent otherwise provided by law.
8. Waivers.

In the event that the Borrower breaches any of the covenants contained in this section and
such default continues for a period of five (5) days after written notice from County with respect
to graffiti, debris, waste material, and general maintenance or thirty (30) days after written notice
from County with respect to landscaping and building improvements, then County, in addition to

express intent that the covenants and restrictions set forth in this Agreement run with the land,

Term of this Agreement said covenants and restrictions expire. Each and every contract, deed or
other instrument hereafter executed covering or conveying the Property or any portion thereof, is
to be held conclusively to have been executed, delivered and accepted subject to the covenants
and restrictions, regardless of whether such covenants or restrictions are set forth in such
contract, deed or other instrument, unless the County expressly releases such conveyed portion
of the Property from the requirements of this Agreement.
Section 6.3 Enforcement by The County. If Borrower fails to perform any obligation under
this Agreement, and fails to cure the default within thirty (30) days after the County has notified
Borrower in writing of the default or, if the default cannot be cured within thirty (30) days, fails
to commence to cure within thirty (30) days and thereafter diligently pursue such cure and
7
