Subject:APPROVAL OF HOME AND HOPWA LEGAL DOCUMENTS FOR THE THIRD AVENUE APARTMENTS IN
WALNUT CREEK
BACKGROUND:
On May 13, 2013, the Board of Supervisors confirmed its allocation of $2,450,000 in HOME funds and allocated
$250,000 in HOPWA funds to Satellite Affordable Housing Associates (SAHA) for the Third Avenue Apartment
development.
The purpose of the Third Avenue Apartment development is to improve the supply of multi-family rental housing
affordable to and occupied by lower income households, including households with special needs, in Central
County through the construction of a 48 unit apartment building in Walnut Creek.
Twenty-three of the units will be designated as County-assisted. Three units will be affordable and available to
households earning up to 30 percent of the area median income (AMI). Twenty units will be affordable and
available to households earning up to 50 percent of AMI. Two of the three 30 percent AMI units will also be
designated as HOPWA units.
SAHA has formed a limited partnership, 1550 Third L.P. to develop and own this project. HOME and HOPWA
funds will be used to support pre-development and construction of the development. HOME funds will be
provided in the form of a 55-year, residual receipt loan with a three percent interest rate. HOPWA funds will be
provided as a fully deferred loan with no interest. Affordability and use restrictions are incorporated into the
County loan documents.
National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA): HOME projects are subject to NEPA and 24 CFR Part 58 review.
The NEPA review for this project has been completed. Required mitigations are included in the loan agreement.
Additional financing for the development includes City of Walnut Creek (inclusionary and former redevelopment
agency funds), nine percent low income housing tax credits, Mental Health Services Act funds, State
Developmental Disabled Services funds, Federal Home Loan Bank Affordable Housing Program funds and a
Wells Fargo Bank loan.
Due to the high construction costs and limited revenue from the restricted rents, the total amount of the financing
provided to the project will likely exceed the value of the completed project. Even though the proposed equity
investment from low income housing tax credits is substantial compared to the amount of long term debt, the
partnership agreement will have numerous safe guards of the investor's equity. These safe guards essentially
subordinate the County’s debt to the investor’s equity. Therefore, the County funds may not be fully secured
through the value of the property.
County Counsel has approved as to form the following attached documents:
HOME and HOPWA Loan Agreement
Promissory Note
Deed of Trust with Assignment Of Rents, Security Agreement, And Fixture Filing
Regulatory Agreement and Declaration Of Restrictive Covenants
Intercreditor Agreement between the County, 1550 Third Ave LP, and the City of Walnut Creek
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Without the approval and execution of the HOME and HOPWA legal documents, the project will not be
constructed. SAHA must close on all financing by December 6, 2013 or its tax credit financing will be lost.

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 or any part thereof. Trustor irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes Beneficiary
as its agent (said agency being coupled with an interest) with the authority, but without any
obligation, to file for record any notices of completion or cessation of labor or any other notice
that Beneficiary deems necessary or desirable to protect its interest in and to the Security or the
Loan Documents; provided, however, that Beneficiary exercises its rights as agent of Trustor
only in the event that Trustor fails to take, or fails to diligently continue to take, those actions as
hereinbefore provided.
Upon demand by Beneficiary, Trustor shall make or cause to be made such demands or
claims as Beneficiary specifies upon laborers, materialmen, subcontractors or other persons who
have furnished or claim to have furnished labor, services or materials in connection with the
Security. Nothing herein contained requires Trustor to pay any claims for labor, materials or
services which Trustor in good faith disputes and is diligently contesting provided that Trustor
shall, within thirty (30) days after the filing of any claim of lien, record in the Office of the
Recorder of Contra Costa County, a surety bond in an amount 1 and 1/2 times the amount of
such claim item to protect against a claim of lien.
863\01\1371274.2 5
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
limitation, water, gas, electricity, sewer, telephone and telegraph, or those required by law, and
as approved, in writing, by Beneficiary.
Section 2.3 Assignment of Rents.
As part of the consideration for the indebtedness evidenced by the Note, Trustor hereby
absolutely and unconditionally assigns and transfers to Beneficiary all the rents and revenues of
the Property including those now due, past due, or to become due by virtue of any lease or other
agreement for the occupancy or use of all or any part of the Property, regardless of to whom the
rents and revenues of the Property are payable, subject to the rights of senior lenders. Trustor
hereby authorizes Beneficiary or Beneficiary's agents to collect the aforesaid rents and revenues
and hereby directs each tenant of the Property to pay such rents to Beneficiary or Beneficiary's
agents; provided, however, that prior to written notice given by Beneficiary to Trustor of the
breach by Trustor of any covenant or agreement of Trustor in the Loan Documents, Trustor shall
collect and receive all rents and revenues of the Property as trustee for the benefit of Beneficiary
and Trustor to apply the rents and revenues so collected to the Secured Obligations with the
balance, so long as no such breach has occurred and is continuing, to the account of Trustor, it
being intended by Trustor and Beneficiary that this assignment of rents constitutes an absolute
assignment and not an assignment for additional security only. Upon delivery of written notice
by Beneficiary to Trustor of the breach by Trustor of any covenant or agreement of Trustor in the
Loan Documents, and without the necessity of Beneficiary entering upon and taking and
maintaining full control of the Property in person, by agent or by a court-appointed receiver,
Beneficiary shall immediately be entitled to possession of all rents and revenues of the Property
as specified in this Section 2.3 as the same becomes due and payable, including but not limited
to, rents then due and unpaid, and all such rents will immediately upon delivery of such notice be
held by Trustor as trustee for the benefit of Beneficiary only; provided, however, that the written
notice by Beneficiary to Trustor of the breach by Trustor contains a statement that Beneficiary
exercises its rights to such rents. Trustor agrees that commencing upon delivery of such written
notice of Trustor's breach by Beneficiary to Trustor, each tenant of the Property shall make such
rents payable to and pay such rents to Beneficiary or Beneficiary's agents on Beneficiary's
written demand to each tenant therefor, delivered to each tenant personally, by mail or by
delivering such demand to each rental unit, without any liability on the part of said tenant to
inquire further as to the existence of a default by Trustor.
Trustor hereby covenants that Trustor has not executed any prior assignment of said
rents, other than as security to senior lenders, that Trustor has not performed, and will not
perform, any acts or has not executed and will not execute, any instrument which would prevent
Beneficiary from exercising its rights under this Section 2.3, and that at the time of execution of
this Deed of Trust, there has been no anticipation or prepayment of any of the rents of the
Property for more than two (2) months prior to the due dates of such rents. Trustor covenants
that Trustor will not hereafter collect or accept payment of any rents of the Property more than
two (2) months prior to the due dates of such rents. Trustor further covenants that, so long as the
863\01\1371274.2 6
Secured Obligations are outstanding, Trustor will execute and deliver to Beneficiary such further
assignments of rents and revenues of the Property as Beneficiary may from time to time request.
Upon Trustor's breach of any covenant or agreement of Trustor in the Loan Documents,
Beneficiary may in person, by agent or by a court-appointed receiver, regardless of the adequacy
of Beneficiary's security, enter upon and take and maintain full control of the Property in order to
perform all acts necessary and appropriate for the operation and maintenance thereof including,
but not limited to, the execution, cancellation or modification of leases, the collection of all rents
and revenues of the Property, the making of repairs to the Property and the execution or
termination of contracts providing for the management or maintenance of the Property, all on
such terms as are deemed best to protect the security of this Deed of Trust. In the event
Beneficiary elects to seek the appointment of a receiver for the Property upon Trustor's breach of
any covenant or agreement of Trustor in this Deed of Trust, Trustor hereby expressly consents to
the appointment of such receiver. Beneficiary or the receiver will be entitled to receive a
reasonable fee for so managing the Property.
All rents and revenues collected subsequent to delivery of written notice by Beneficiary
to Trustor of the breach by Trustor of any covenant or agreement of Trustor in the Loan
Documents are to be applied first to the costs, if any, of taking control of and managing the
Property and collecting the rents, including, but not limited to, attorney's fees, receiver's fees,
premiums on receiver's bonds, costs of repairs to the Property, premiums on insurance policies,
taxes, assessments and other charges on the Property, and the costs of discharging any obligation
or liability of Trustor as lessor or landlord of the Property and then to the sums secured by this
deed of Trust. Beneficiary or the receiver is to have access to the books and records used in the
operation and maintenance of the Property and will be liable to account only for those rents
actually received. Beneficiary is not liable to Trustor, anyone claiming under or through Trustor
or anyone having an interest in the Property by reason of anything done or left undone by
Beneficiary under this Section 2.3.
If the rents of the Property are not sufficient to meet the costs, if any, of taking control of
and managing the Property and collecting the rents, any funds expended by Beneficiary for such
purposes will become part of the Secured Obligations pursuant to Section 3.3 hereof. Unless
Beneficiary and Trustor agree in writing to other terms of payment, such amounts are payable by
Trustor to Beneficiary upon notice from Beneficiary to Trustor requesting payment thereof and
will bear interest from the date of disbursement at the rate stated in Section 3.3.
If the Beneficiary or the receiver enters upon and takes and maintains control of the
Property, neither that act nor any application of rents as provided herein will cure or waive any
default under this Deed of Trust or invalidate any other right or remedy available to Beneficiary
under applicable law or under this Deed of Trust. This assignment of rents of the Property will
terminate at such time as this Deed of Trust ceases to secure the Secured Obligations.
863\01\1371274.2 7
ARTICLE 3
TAXES AND INSURANCE; ADVANCES
Section 3.1 Taxes, Other Governmental Charges and Utility Charges.
Trustor shall pay, or cause to be paid, prior to the date of delinquency, all taxes,
assessments, charges and levies imposed by any public authority or utility company that are or
may become a lien affecting the Security or any part thereof; provided, however, that Trustor is
not required to pay and discharge any such tax, assessment, charge or levy so long as (a) the
legality thereof is promptly and actively contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings,
and (b) Trustor maintains reserves adequate to pay any liabilities contested pursuant to this
Section 3.1. With respect to taxes, special assessments or other similar governmental charges,
Trustor shall pay such amount in full prior to the attachment of any lien therefor on any part of
the Security; provided, however, if such taxes, assessments or charges can be paid in
installments, Trustor may pay in such installments. Except as provided in clause (b) of the first
sentence of this paragraph, the provisions of this Section 3.1 may not be construed to require that
Trustor maintain a reserve account, escrow account, impound account or other similar account
for the payment of future taxes, assessments, charges and levies.
In the event that Trustor fails to pay any of the items required by this Section to be paid
by Trustor, Beneficiary may (but is under no obligation to) pay the same, after the Beneficiary
has notified the Trustor of such failure to pay and the Trustor fails to fully pay such items within
seven (7) business days after receipt of such notice. Any amount so advanced therefor by
Beneficiary, together with interest thereon from the date of such advance at the maximum rate
permitted by law, will become part of the Secured Obligations secured hereby, and Trustor
agrees to pay all such amounts.
Section 3.2 Provisions Respecting Insurance.
Trustor agrees to provide insurance conforming in all respects to that required under the
Loan Documents during the course of construction and following completion, and at all times
until all amounts secured by this Deed of Trust have been paid, all Secured Obligations secured
hereunder have been fulfilled, and this Deed of Trust has been reconveyed.
All such insurance policies and coverages are to be maintained at Trustor's sole cost and
expense. Certificates of insurance for all of the above insurance policies, showing the same to be
in full force and effect, are to be delivered to the Beneficiary upon demand therefor at any time
prior to Trustor's satisfaction of the Secured Obligations.
Section 3.3 Advances.
In the event the Trustor fails to maintain the full insurance coverage required by this
Deed of Trust or fails to keep the Security in accordance with the Loan Documents, the
Beneficiary, after at least seven (7) days prior notice to Trustor, may (but is under no obligation
to) (i) take out the required policies of insurance and pay the premiums on the same, and (ii)
make any repairs or replacements that are necessary and provide for payment thereof. All
863\01\1371274.2 8
amounts so advanced by the Beneficiary will become part of the Secured Obligations (together
with interest as set forth below) and will be secured hereby, which amounts the Trustor agrees to
pay on the demand of the Beneficiary, and if not so paid, will bear interest from the date of the
advance at the Default Rate.
ARTICLE 4
DAMAGE, DESTRUCTION OR CONDEMNATION
Section 4.1 Awards and Damages.
Subject to the rights of senior lenders, all judgments, awards of damages, settlements and
compensation made in connection with or in lieu of (1) the taking of all or any part of or any
interest in the Property by or under assertion of the power of eminent domain, (2) any damage to
or destruction of the Property or any part thereof by insured casualty, and (3) any other injury or
damage to all or any part of the Property (collectively, the "Funds") are hereby assigned to and
are to be paid to the Beneficiary by a check made payable to the Beneficiary. The Beneficiary is
authorized and empowered (but not required) to collect and receive any Funds and is authorized
to apply them in whole or in part to any indebtedness or obligation secured hereby, in such order
and manner as the Beneficiary determines at its sole option. 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.
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.

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
863\01\1371274.2 9
part of the Trustor in this Deed of Trust, the Trustor agrees that it will, on demand therefor, 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
Secured Obligations, and will bear interest from the date such expenses are incurred at the
Default Rate.

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.

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
863\01\1371274.2 10
or any person claiming under or through it establish or permit any such practice or practices of
discrimination or segregation with reference to the selection, location, number, use or occupancy
of tenants, lessees, subtenants, sublessees or vendees in the Security. The foregoing covenants
run with the land.
ARTICLE 6
HAZARDOUS WASTE
Trustor shall keep and maintain the Property (including, but not limited to, soil and
ground water conditions) in compliance with all Hazardous Materials Laws and shall not cause
or permit the Property to be in violation of any Hazardous Materials Law (defined below).
Trustor may not cause or permit the use, generation, manufacture, storage or disposal of on,

asbestos-containing material, polychlorinated biphenyls, flammable, explosive, radioactive, freon

in construction or operation of a multi-family residential development.
Trustor shall immediately advise Beneficiary in writing if at any time it receives written
notice of: (i) any and all enforcement, cleanup, removal or other governmental or regulatory
actions instituted, completed or threatened against Trustor or the Property pursuant to any
applicable federal, state or local laws, ordinances, or regulations relating to any Hazardous
Materials, health, industrial hygiene, environmental conditions, or the regulation or protection of
the environment, and all amendments thereto as of this date and to be added in the future and any
successor statute or rule or regulation promulgated thereto ("Hazardous Materials Law"); (ii) all
claims made or threatened by any third party against Trustor or the Property relating to damage,
contribution, cost recovery compensation, loss or injury resulting from any Hazardous Materials
(the matters set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above are hereinafter referred to as "Hazardous
Materials Claims"); and (iii) Trustor's discovery of any occurrence or condition on any real
property adjoining or in the vicinity of the Property that could cause the Property or any part
thereof to be classified as "border-zone property" (as defined in California Health and Safety
Code Section 25117.4) under the provision of California Health and Safety Code Section 25220
et seq., or any regulation adopted in accordance therewith, or to be otherwise subject to any
restrictions on the ownership, occupancy, transferability or use of the Property under any
Hazardous Materials Law.
Beneficiary has the right to join and participate in, as a party if it so elects, and be
represented by counsel acceptable to Beneficiary (or counsel of its own choice if a conflict exists
with Trustor) in, any legal proceedings or actions initiated in connection with any Hazardous
Materials Claims, and to have its reasonable attorneys' fees in connection therewith paid by
Trustor.
863\01\1371274.2 11
Trustor shall indemnify and hold harmless Beneficiary and its boardmembers, directors,
officers, employees, agents, successors and assigns from and against any loss, damage, cost, fine,
penalty, judgment, award, settlement, expense or liability, directly or indirectly arising out of or
attributable to: (i) any actual or alleged past or present violation of any Hazardous Materials
Law; (ii) any Hazardous Materials Claim; (iii) any actual or alleged past or present use,
generation, manufacture, storage, release, threatened release, discharge, disposal, transportation,
or presence of Hazardous Materials on, under, or about the Property; (iv) any investigation,
cleanup, remediation, removal, or restoration work of site conditions of the Property relating to
Hazardous Materials (whether on the Property or any other property); and (v) the breach of any
representation of warranty by or covenant of Trustor in this Article, and Section 5.1(l) of the
Loan Agreement. Such indemnity must include, without limitation: (x) all consequential
damages; (y) the costs of any required or necessary investigation, repair, cleanup or
detoxification of the Property and the preparation and implementation of any closure, remedial or
other required plans; and (z) all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Beneficiary in
connection with clauses (x) and (y), including but not limited to reasonable attorneys' fees and
consultant fees. This indemnification applies whether or not any government agency has issued
a cleanup order. Losses, claims, costs, suits, liability, and expenses covered by this
indemnification provision include, but are not limited to: (1) losses attributable to diminution in
the value of the Property; (2) loss or restriction of use of rentable space on the Property; (3)
adverse effect on the marketing of any rental space on the Property; and (4) penalties and fines
levied by, and remedial or enforcement actions of any kind issued by any regulatory agency
(including but not limited to the costs of any required testing, remediation, repair, removal,
cleanup or detoxification of the Property and surrounding properties). This obligation to
indemnify will survive reconveyance of this Deed of Trust and will not be diminished or affected
in any respect as a result of any notice, disclosure, knowledge, if any, to or by Beneficiary of
Hazardous Materials.
Without Beneficiary's prior written consent, which may not be unreasonably withheld,
Trustor may not take any remedial action in response to the presence of any Hazardous Materials
on, under or about the Property, nor enter into any settlement agreement, consent decree, or other
compromise in respect to any Hazardous Material Claims, which remedial action, settlement,
consent decree or compromise might, in Beneficiary's reasonable judgment, impairs the value of
the Beneficiary's security hereunder; provided, however, that Beneficiary's prior consent is not
necessary in the event that the presence of Hazardous Materials on, under, or about the Property
either poses an immediate threat to the health, safety or welfare of any individual or is of such a
nature that an immediate remedial response is necessary and it is not reasonably possible to
obtain Beneficiary's consent before taking such action, provided that in such event Trustor
notifies Beneficiary as soon as practicable of any action so taken. Beneficiary agrees not to
withhold its consent, where such consent is required hereunder, if (i) a particular remedial action
is ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction; (ii) Trustor will or may be subjected to civil or
criminal sanctions or penalties if it fails to take a required action; (iii) Trustor establishes to the
reasonable satisfaction of Beneficiary that there is no reasonable alternative to such remedial
action which would result in less impairment of Beneficiary's security hereunder; or (iv) the
action has been agreed to by Beneficiary.
The Trustor hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) this Article is intended as the
Beneficiary's written request for information (and the Trustor's response) concerning the
863\01\1371274.2 12
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
of Civil Procedure Section 726.5(d)(1), if the release or threatened release of hazardous materials
was knowingly or negligently caused or contributed to by any lessee, occupant, or user of any
portion of the Property and the Trustor knew or should have known of the activity by such
lessee, occupant, or user which caused or contributed to the release or threatened release. All
costs and expenses, including (but not limited to) attorneys' fees, incurred by the Beneficiary in
connection with any action commenced under this paragraph, including any action required by
California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5(b) to determine the degree to which the
Property is environmentally impaired, plus interest thereon at the Default Rate until paid, will be
added to the indebtedness secured by this Deed of Trust and will be due and payable to the
Beneficiary upon its demand made at any time following the conclusion of such action.
ARTICLE 7
EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
Section 7.1 Events of Default.
The following are events of default following the expiration of any applicable notice and
cure periods (each an "Event of Default"): (i) failure to make any payment to be paid by Trustor
under the Loan Documents; (ii) failure to observe or perform any of Trustor's other covenants,
agreements or obligations under the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the
provisions concerning discrimination; (iii) failure to make any payment or observe or perform
any of Trustor's other covenants, agreements, or obligations under any Secured Obligations,
which default is not cured within the times and in the manner provided therein; and (iv) failure to
make any payments or observe or perform any of Trustor's other covenants, agreements or
obligations under any other debt instrument or regulatory agreement secured by the Property,
which default is not cured within the time and in the manner provided therein.
863\01\1371274.2 13
Section 7.2 Acceleration of Maturity.
If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then at the option of the
Beneficiary, the amount of any payment related to the Event of Default and all unpaid Secured
Obligations are immediately due and payable, and no omission on the part of the Beneficiary to
exercise such option when entitled to do so may be construed as a waiver of such right.
Section 7.3 The Beneficiary's Right to Enter and Take Possession.
If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Beneficiary may:
(a)Either in person or by agent, with or without bringing any action or
proceeding, or by a receiver appointed by a court, and without regard to the adequacy of its
security, enter upon the Property and take possession thereof (or any part thereof) and of any of
the Security, in its own name or in the name of Trustee, and do any acts that it deems necessary
or desirable to preserve the value or marketability of the Property, or part thereof or interest
therein, increase the income therefrom or protect the security thereof. The entering upon and
taking possession of the Security will not cure or waive any Event of Default or Notice of Sale
(as defined in Section 7.3(c), below) hereunder or invalidate any act done in response to such
Event of Default or pursuant to such Notice of Sale, and, notwithstanding the continuance in
possession of the Security, Beneficiary will be entitled to exercise every right provided for in this
Deed of Trust, or by law upon occurrence of any Event of Default, including the right to exercise
the power of sale;
(b)Commence an action to foreclose this Deed of Trust as a mortgage,
appoint a receiver, or specifically enforce any of the covenants hereof;
(c)Deliver to Trustee a written declaration of an Event of Default and
demand for sale, and a written notice of default and election to cause Trustor's interest in the
Security to be sold ("Notice of Sale"), which notice Trustee or Beneficiary shall cause to be duly
filed for record in the Official Records of Contra Costa County; or
(d)Exercise all other rights and remedies provided herein, in the instruments
by which the Trustor acquires title to any Security, or in any other document or agreement now
or hereafter evidencing, creating or securing the Secured Obligations.
Section 7.4 Foreclosure By Power of Sale.
Should the Beneficiary elect to foreclose by exercise of the power of sale herein
contained, the Beneficiary shall deliver to the Trustee the Notice of Sale and shall deposit with
Trustee this Deed of Trust which is secured hereby (and the deposit of which will be deemed to
constitute evidence that the Secured Obligations are immediately due and payable), and such
receipts and evidence of any expenditures made that are additionally secured hereby as Trustee
may require.
(a)Upon receipt of the Notice of Sale from the Beneficiary, Trustee shall
cause to be recorded, published and delivered to Trustor such Notice of Sale as is then required
by law and by this Deed of Trust. Trustee shall, without demand on Trustor, after the lapse of
863\01\1371274.2 14
that amount of time as is then required by law and after recordation of such Notice of Sale as
required by law, sell the Security, at the time and place of sale set forth in the Notice of Sale,
whether as a whole or in separate lots or parcels or items, as Trustee deems expedient and in
such order as it determines, unless specified otherwise by the Trustor according to California
Civil Code Section 2924g(b), at public auction to the highest bidder, for cash in lawful money of
the United States payable at the time of sale. Trustee shall deliver to such purchaser or
purchasers thereof its good and sufficient deed or deeds conveying the property so sold, but
without any covenant or warranty, express or implied. The recitals in such deed or any matters
of facts will be conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof. Any person, including, without
limitation, Trustor, Trustee or Beneficiary, may purchase at such sale.
(b)After deducting all reasonable costs, fees and expenses of Trustee,
including costs of evidence of title in connection with such sale, Trustee shall apply the proceeds
of sale to payment of: (i) the unpaid Principal amount of the Note; (ii) all other Secured
Obligations owed to Beneficiary under the Loan Documents; (iii) all other sums then secured
hereby; and (iv) the remainder, if any, to Trustor.
(c)Trustee may postpone sale of all or any portion of the Property by public
announcement at such time and place of sale, and from time to time thereafter, and without
further notice make such sale at the time fixed by the last postponement, or may, in its discretion,
give a new Notice of Sale.
Section 7.5 Receiver.
If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, Beneficiary, as a matter of right and
without further notice to Trustor or anyone claiming under the Security, and without regard to
the then value of the Security or the interest of Trustor therein, may apply to any court having
jurisdiction to appoint a receiver or receivers of the Security (or a part thereof), and Trustor
hereby irrevocably consents to such appointment and waives further notice of any application
therefor. Any such receiver or receivers will have all the usual powers and duties of receivers in
like or similar cases, and all the powers and duties of Beneficiary in case of entry as provided
herein, and will continue as such and exercise all such powers until the date of confirmation of
sale of the Security, unless such receivership is sooner terminated.
Section 7.6 Remedies Cumulative.
No right, power or remedy conferred upon or reserved to the Beneficiary by this Deed of
Trust is intended to be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy, but each and every such
right, power and remedy will be cumulative and concurrent and will be in addition to any other
right, power and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity.
Section 7.7 No Waiver.
(a)No delay or omission of the Beneficiary to exercise any right, power or
remedy accruing upon any Event of Default will exhaust or impair any such right, power or
remedy, and may not be construed to be a waiver of any such Event of Default or acquiescence
therein; and every right, power and remedy given by this Deed of Trust to the Beneficiary may
be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expeditious by the Beneficiary.
863\01\1371274.2 15
Beneficiary's express or implied consent to breach, or waiver of, any obligation of the Trustor
hereunder will not be deemed or construed to be a consent to any subsequent breach, or further
waiver, of such obligation or of any other obligations of the Trustor hereunder. Failure on the
part of the Beneficiary to complain of any act or failure to act or to declare an Event of Default,
irrespective of how long such failure continues, will not constitute a waiver by the Beneficiary of
its right hereunder or impair any rights, power or remedies consequent on any Event of Default
by the Trustor.
(b)If the Beneficiary (i) grants forbearance or an extension of time for the
payment or performance of any Secured Obligation, (ii) takes other or additional security or the
payment of any sums secured hereby, (iii) waives or does not exercise any right granted in the
Loan Documents, (iv) releases any part of the Security from the lien of this Deed of Trust, or
otherwise changes any of the terms, covenants, conditions or agreements in the Loan Documents,
(v) consents to the granting of any easement or other right affecting the Security, or (vi) makes or
consents to any agreement subordinating the lien hereof, any such act or omission will not
release, discharge, modify, change or affect the original liability under this Deed of Trust, or any
other obligation of the Trustor or any subsequent purchaser of the Security or any part thereof, or
any maker, co-signer, endorser, surety or guarantor (unless expressly released); nor will any such
act or omission preclude the Beneficiary from exercising any right, power or privilege herein
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
863\01\1371274.2 16
connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default, endorsement or guaranty of this
Deed of Trust.

AGREEMENT
1.Definitions. The following terms have the following meanings:
(a)"Adjusted City Loan" means, to the extent less than the full amount of the
City Loan is funded, an amount equal to the actual principal amount loaned to Borrower by the
City pursuant to the City Loan Agreement minus any Special City Payment. If the full amount
of the City Loan is funded and no portion repaid as a Special City Payment, the Adjusted City
Loan is equal to the City Loan.
863\01\1367099.2 3
(b)"Adjusted HOME Loan" means, to the extent less than the full amount of
the HOME Loan is funded, an amount equal to the actual principal amount loaned to Borrower
by the County pursuant to the County Loan Agreement minus any Special County Loan
Payment. If the full amount of the HOME Loan is funded and no portion repaid as a Special
County Loan Payment, the Adjusted HOME Loan is equal to the HOME Loan.
(c)"Adjusted HOPWA Loan" means, to the extent less than the full amount
of the HOPWA Loan is funded, an amount equal to the actual principal amount loaned to
Borrower by the County pursuant to the County Loan Agreement. If the full amount of the
HOPWA Loan is funded, the Adjusted HOPWA Loan is equal to the HOPWA Loan.
(d)"Adjusted Housing Successor Loan" means, to the extent less than the full
amount of the Housing Successor Loan is funded, an amount equal to the actual principal amount
loaned to Borrower by the City pursuant to the Housing Successor Loan Agreement minus any

and accounts to be open to and available for inspection by the County and the City, their auditors

period of not less than five (5) years after such statement is rendered, and for any period during
which there is an audit undertaken pursuant to subsection (c) below then pending.
(c)County and City Audits.
i.The receipt by the County or the City of any statement pursuant to
subsection (a) above or any payment by Borrower or acceptance by the County or the City of any
loan repayment for any period does not bind the County or the City as to the correctness of such
statement or such payment. The County or the City or any designated agent or employee of the
County or the City is entitled at any time to audit the Residual Receipts and all books, records,
and accounts pertaining thereto. The County and/or the City may conduct such audit during

deficiency in a loan repayment to the County and/or the City, then such deficiency will become

amount should have been paid. In addition, if the audit determines that Residual Receipts have
been understated for any year by the greater of (i) $2,500, and (ii) an amount that exceeds five
percent (5%) of the Residual Receipts, then, in addition to paying the deficiency with interest,
Borrower shall pay all of the costs and expenses connected with the audit and review of
Borrower's accounts and records incurred by the County and/or the City.

which with the lapse of time would become a material event of default, under its respective loan
documents for the Housing Successor Loan, the City Loan and the County Loan.

Successor Deed of Trust, the City Deed of Trust, or the County Deed of Trust, as the case may
be, until the date that is five (5) business days following delivery of written notice by the Party
enforcing its rights (the "Enforcing Party") to the other Party stating that a "default" (as defined
in the relevant Deed of Trust) has occurred and is continuing and that the Enforcing Party is
requesting the other Party's assistance in foreclosure pursuant to Section 7.
7.Cooperation in Foreclosure.

(b)Neither the County nor the City may contest the validity, perfection,
priority, or enforceability of the lien granted to the other Party by a deed of trust secured by the
Property. Notwithstanding any failure of a Party to perfect its lien on the Property or any other
defect in the security interests or obligations owing to such Party, the priority and rights as
between the lenders that are Parties to this Agreement are as set forth in this Agreement.

judicial or nonjudicial, under any or all of the Deeds of Trust (including the giving of a deed in

City, or both, in connection with such foreclosure or other action. After such payments (i) the
City is entitled to (1) the result obtained by multiplying the City Net Proceeds Prorata Share by
the Foreclosure Net Proceeds and, (2) the result obtained by multiplying the Housing Successor

Financing. No later than ten (10) days after the date Borrower receives its final capital
contribution from the Investor Limited Partner, Borrower shall pay to the County as a special

Borrower shall submit to the County for its review a preliminary calculation of the Net Proceeds
17
863\01\1367144.4
of Permanent Financing and a draft of the Final Cost Certification as defined Section 4.3 below.

Household (each such household, a "Qualifying Household") in accordance with Section 2.1 of
the Regulatory Agreement, Borrower shall pay the County the Rental Shortfall Payment, plus
accrued interest, on the Rental Shortfall Due Date.
(i)The "Rental Shortfall Due Date" is the date that occurs eighteen
(18) months after the Completion Date.
(ii)The "Rental Shortfall Payment" is an amount equal to the result
obtained by multiplying (1) the number of HOME-Assisted Units that have not been rented to
and occupied by a Qualifying Household on or before the Rental Shortfall Due Date, by (2) a
fraction, the numerator of which is the then-outstanding principal balance on the HOME Loan
and the denominator of which is the number of HOME-Assisted Units.
(iii)Interest on the Rental Shortfall Payment will accrue in accordance
with Section 2.2(a) through the Rental Shortfall Due Date. If the Rental Shortfall Payment is
not paid on or before the Rental Shortfall Due Date, interest on the Rental Shortfall Payment

Borrower's financial records for the relevant period, which statement must confirm that
Borrower's calculation of the Lenders' Share of Residual Receipts and Borrower's Shared Portion
18
863\01\1367144.4
of Residual Receipts is accurate based on Gross Revenue and Annual Operating Expenses; and
(c)Any additional documentation reasonably required by the County to
substantiate Borrower's calculation of Lenders' Share of Residual Receipts and Borrower's
Shared Portion of Residual Receipts.
The receipt by the County of any statement pursuant to subsection (a) above or any
payment by Borrower or acceptance by the County of any Loan repayment for any period does
not bind the County as to the correctness of such statement or payment. The County may audit
the Residual Receipts and all books, records, and accounts pertaining thereto pursuant to Section
4.7 below.
Section 2.10 Non-Recourse.
Except as provided below, neither Borrower, nor any partner of Borrower, has any direct
or indirect personal liability for payment of the principal of, and interest on, the Loan. Following
recordation of the Deed of Trust, the sole recourse of the County with respect to the principal of,
or interest on, the Note will be to the property described in the Deed of Trust; provided, however,
that nothing contained in the foregoing limitation of liability limits or impairs the enforcement of
all the rights and remedies of the County against all such security for the Note, or impairs the
right of County to assert the unpaid principal amount of the Note as demand for money within
the meaning and intendment of Section 431.70 of the California Code of Civil Procedure or any
successor provision thereto. The foregoing limitation of liability is intended to apply only to the
obligation to repay the principal and interest on the Note. Except as hereafter set forth; nothing
contained herein is intended to relieve Borrower of its obligation to indemnify the County under
Sections 3.8, 3.9, 4.8(b)(vi), 4.9, and 7.4 of this Agreement, or liability for: (i) loss or damage of
any kind resulting from waste, 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.

consultants, and property managers. Any review or inspection undertaken by the County with
reference to the Development is solely for the purpose of determining whether Borrower is

Section 3.15 Mechanics Liens, Stop Notices, and Notices of Completion.
(a)If any claim of lien is filed against the Property or a stop notice affecting
the Loan is served on the County or any other lender or other third party in connection with the
Development, then Borrower shall, within twenty (20) days after such filing or service, either
pay and fully discharge the lien or stop notice, effect the release of such lien or stop notice by
delivering to the County a surety bond in sufficient form and amount, or provide the County with
other assurance satisfactory to the County that the claim of lien or stop notice will be paid or
discharged.
(b)If Borrower fails to discharge any lien, encumbrance, charge, or claim in
the manner required in this Section, then in addition to any other right or remedy, the County
may (but is under no obligation to) discharge such lien, encumbrance, charge, or claim at
Borrower's expense. Alternately, the County may require Borrower to immediately deposit with
25

the County the amount necessary to satisfy such lien or claim and any costs, pending resolution
thereof. The County may use such deposit to satisfy any claim or lien that is adversely
determined against Borrower.
(c)Borrower shall file a valid notice of cessation or notice of completion
upon cessation of construction work on the Development for a continuous period of thirty (30)
days or more, and take all other steps necessary to forestall the assertion of claims of lien against

intended as the County's written request for information (and Borrower's response) concerning
the environmental condition of the Property as required by California Code of Civil Procedure
Section 726.5; and (ii) each representation and warranty in this Agreement (together with any
indemnity obligation applicable to a breach of any such representation and warranty) with
respect to the environmental condition of the Property is intended by the Parties to be an
"environmental provision" for purposes of California Code of Civil Procedure Section 736.
(g)In the event that any portion of the Property is determined to be
"environmentally impaired" (as that term is defined in California Code of Civil Procedure
Section 726.5(e)(3)) or to be an "affected parcel" (as that term is defined in California Code of
Civil Procedure Section 726.5(e)(1)), then, without otherwise limiting or in any way affecting the
County's or the trustee's rights and remedies under the Deed of Trust, the County may elect to
exercise its rights under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5(a) to: (i) waive its
lien on such environmentally impaired or affected portion of the Property; and (ii) exercise, (1)
the rights and remedies of an unsecured creditor, including reduction of its claim against
Borrower to judgment, and (2) any other rights and remedies permitted by law. For purposes of
determining the County's right to proceed as an unsecured creditor under California Code of
Civil Procedure Section 726.5(a), Borrower will be deemed to have willfully permitted or
35
863\01\1367144.4
acquiesced in a release or threatened release of Hazardous Materials, within the meaning of
California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5(d)(1), if the release or threatened release of
Hazardous Materials was knowingly or negligently caused or contributed to by any lessee,
occupant, or user of any portion of the Property and Borrower knew or should have known of the
activity by such lessee, occupant, or user which caused or contributed to the release or threatened
release. All costs and expenses, including (but not limited to) attorneys' fees, incurred by the
County in connection with any action commenced under this paragraph, including any action
required by California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5(b) to determine the degree to
which the Property is environmentally impaired, plus interest thereon at the Default Rate, until

and orderly condition, and in accordance with the Regulatory Agreement.
(b)Subject to the requirements of senior lenders, and if economically feasible
in the County's judgment after consultation with Borrower, if any improvement now or in the
future on the Property is damaged or destroyed, then Borrower shall, at its cost and expense,
diligently undertake to repair or restore such improvement consistent with the plans and
specifications approved by the County with such changes as have been approved by the County.
Such work or repair is to be commenced no later than the later of one hundred twenty (120) days,
or such longer period approved by the County in writing, after the damage or loss occurs or thirty
(30) days following receipt of the insurance proceeds, and is to be complete within one (1) year
thereafter. Any insurance proceeds collected for such damage or destruction are to be applied to
the cost of such repairs or restoration and, if such insurance proceeds are insufficient for such
purpose, then Borrower shall make up the deficiency. If Borrower does not promptly make such
repairs then any insurance proceeds collected for such damage or destruction are to be promptly
delivered by Borrower to the County as a special repayment of the Loan, subject to the rights of
the senior lenders, if any.

Borrower is solely responsible for payment of all fees, assessments, taxes, charges, and
levies imposed by any public authority or utility company with respect to the Property or the
Development, and shall pay such charges prior to delinquency. However, Borrower is not
required to pay and discharge any such charge so long as: (i) the legality thereof is being
contested diligently and in good faith and by appropriate proceedings; and (ii) if requested by the
County, Borrower deposits with the County any funds or other forms of assurance that the

ARTICLE 6 DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

Any one or more of the following constitutes an "Event of Default" by Borrower under
this Agreement:
(a)Failure to Construct. If Borrower fails to obtain permits, or to commence
and prosecute construction of the Development to completion, within the times set forth in
Article 3 above.
(b)Failure to Make Payment. If Borrower fails to make any payment when
such payment is due pursuant to the Loan Documents.

observe any other condition, term, or covenant contained in this Agreement (other than as set
forth in Section 6.1(a) through Section 6.1(c) and Section 6.1(e) through Section 6.1(m)), or in
any of the other Loan Documents, and Borrower fails to cure such default within thirty (30) days
after receipt of written notice thereof from the County to Borrower and to the Investor Limited
Partner identified in Section 7.9, or any limited partner of Borrower who has requested written
notice from the County of such failure ("Permitted Limited Partner"); provided, however, that if
a different period or notice requirement is specified under any other section of this Article 6, the

within the cure period set forth in this subsection, the County will accept such action as curing
the Event of Default as if such cure was performed by Borrower. If a Permitted Limited Partner
is unable to cure an Event of Default because Borrower's general partner is in bankruptcy and/or
because the cure requires removal of the general partner of Borrower and the Permitted Limited
Partner is proceeding diligently to remove the general partner of Borrower in order to effect a
cure of the Event of Default, the cure period shall be extended for such reasonable time as is
necessary for the Permitted Limited Partner to effect a cure of the Event of Default, but in no
event longer than sixty (60) days after the date of receipt by the Permitted Limited Partner of
written notice of the Event of Default.

state or other jurisdiction; (iii) appointing a receiver, trustee, liquidator, or assignee of Borrower
in bankruptcy or insolvency or for any of their properties; (iv) directing the winding up or
liquidation of Borrower if any such decree or order described in clauses (i) to (iv), inclusive, is
unstayed or undischarged for a period of ninety (90) calendar days; or (v) Borrower admits in
writing its inability to pay its debts as they fall due or will have voluntarily submitted to or filed
a petition seeking any decree or order of the nature described in clauses (i) to (iv), inclusive. The
occurrence of any of the Events of Default in this paragraph will act to accelerate automatically,
without the need for any action by the County, the indebtedness evidenced by the Note.
(g)Assignment; Attachment. If Borrower assigns its assets for the benefit of
its creditors or suffers a sequestration or attachment of or execution on any substantial part of its
property, unless the property so assigned, sequestered, attached or executed upon is returned or

or the substantial part of the Property and the Development.
(k)Unauthorized Transfer. If any Transfer occurs other than as permitted
pursuant to Section 4.15.
(l)Representation or Warranty Incorrect. If 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.
(m)Applicability to General Partner. The occurrence of any of the events set
forth in Section 6.1 (f), through Section 6.1 (h) in relation to Borrower's managing general
partner, unless the removal and replacement of the Borrower's managing general partner in
accordance with Section 4.15(d), within the time frame set forth in Section 6.1(d) cures such a
default.
Section 6.2 Remedies.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and until such Even of Default is cured or
waived, the County is relieved of any obligation to disburse any portion of the Loan. In addition,
upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and following the expiration of all applicable notice
and cure periods the County may proceed with any and all remedies available to it under law,

thereon, to become immediately due and payable. Borrower waives all right to presentment,
demand, protest or notice of protest or dishonor. The County may proceed to enforce payment of

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
44
863\01\1367144.4
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 that 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.
Upon demand therefor, Borrower shall reimburse the County for any funds advanced by the
County to cure such monetary default by Borrower, together with interest thereon from the date
of expenditure until the date of reimbursement at the Default Rate.
Section 6.3 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 6.4 Remedies Cumulative.
No right, power, or remedy given to the County by the terms of this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents is intended to be exclusive of any other right, power, or remedy; and each
and every such right, power, or remedy is cumulative and in addition to every other right, power,
or remedy given to the County by the terms of any such instrument, or by any statute or
otherwise against Borrower and any other person. Neither the failure nor any delay on the part
of the County to exercise any such rights and remedies will operate as a waiver thereof, nor does
any single or partial exercise by the County of any such right or remedy preclude any other or
further exercise of such right or remedy, or any other right or remedy.

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned 1550 Third, L.P., a California limited
partnership ("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 Two Million
Seven Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,700,000) plus interest thereon pursuant to Section 2
below.
All capitalized terms used but not defined in this Note have the meanings set forth in the
Loan Agreement.
1.Borrower's Obligation. This Note evidences Borrower's obligation to repay
Holder the principal amount of Two Million Seven Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,700,000) with
interest for the funds loaned to Borrower by Holder to finance the construction of the
Development pursuant to the HOME and HOPWA Loan Agreement between Borrower and
Holder of even date herewith (the "Loan Agreement").
2.Interest.
(a)HOME Loan. Subject to the provisions of Subsection (c) below, the
HOME Loan bears simple interest at a rate of three percent (3%) per annum from the date of
disbursement until full repayment of the principal balance of the HOME Loan.
(b)HOPWA Loan. Subject to the provisions of Subsection (c) below, no
interest will accrue on the outstanding principal balance of the HOPWA Loan.
(c)Default Interest. If an Event of Default occurs, interest will accrue on all
amounts due under this Note at the Default Rate until such Event of Default is cured by
Borrower or waived by Holder.
3.Term and Repayment Requirements. Principal and interest under this Note is due
and payable as set forth in Section 2.8 of the Loan Agreement. The unpaid principal balance
hereunder, together with accrued interest thereon, is due and payable no later than the date that is
the fifty-fifth (55th) anniversary of the Completion Date; provided, however, if a record of the
Completion Date cannot be located or established, the Loan is due and payable on the fifty-
seventh (57
th) anniversary of the date of this Note.
4.No Assumption. This Note is not assumable by the successors and assigns of
Borrower without the prior written consent of Holder, except as provided in the Loan
Agreement.
5.Security. This Note, with interest, is secured by the Deed of Trust. Upon
execution, the Deed of Trust will be recorded in the official records of Contra Costa County,
863\01\1371273.2 2
California. Upon recordation of the Deed of Trust, this Note will become nonrecourse to
Borrower, pursuant to and except as provided in Section 2.10 of the Loan Agreement which
Section 2.10 is hereby incorporated into this Note. The terms of the Deed of Trust are hereby
incorporated into this Note and made a part hereof.
6.Terms of Payment.
(a)Borrower shall make all payments due under this Note in currency of the
United States of America to Holder at Department of Conservation and Development, 30 Muir
Road, Martinez, CA 94553, Attention: Affordable Housing Program Manager, or to such other
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 would exceed the lawful rate.
(d)The obligations of Borrower under this Note are absolute and Borrower
waives any and all rights to offset, deduct or withhold any payments or charges due under this
Note for any reason whatsoever.
7.Event of Default; Acceleration.
(a)Upon the occurrence of 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 will, at the option of Holder, become 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.
863\01\1371273.2 3
8.Waivers.
(a)Borrower hereby waives diligence, presentment, protest and demand, and
notice of protest, notice of demand, notice of dishonor and notice of non-payment of this Note.
Borrower expressly agrees that this Note or any payment hereunder may be extended from time
to time, and that Holder may accept further security or release any security for this Note, all
without in any way affecting the liability of Borrower.
(b)Any extension of time for payment of this Note or any installment hereof
made by agreement of Holder with any person now or hereafter liable for payment of this Note
must not operate to release, discharge, modify, change or affect the original liability of Borrower
under this Note, either in whole or in part.
9.Miscellaneous Provisions.
(a)All notices to Holder or Borrower are to be given in the manner and at the
addresses set forth in the Loan Agreement, or to such addresses as Holder and Borrower may
therein designate.
(b)Borrower promises to pay all costs and expenses, including reasonable
attorney's fees, incurred by Holder in the enforcement of the provisions of this Note, regardless
of whether suit is filed to seek enforcement.
(c)This Note is governed by the laws of the State of California.
(d)The times for the performance of any obligations hereunder are to be
strictly construed, time being of the essence.
(e)The Loan Documents, of which this Note is a part, contain the entire
agreement between the parties as to the Loan. This Note may not be modified except upon the
written consent of the parties.

ARTICLE 5
PROPERTY MANAGEMENT AND MAINTENANCE
5.1 Management Responsibilities. Borrower is responsible for all management
functions with respect to the Development, including without limitation the selection of Tenants,
certification and recertification of household size and income, evictions, collection of rents and
deposits, maintenance, landscaping, routine and extraordinary repairs, replacement of capital
items, and security. The County has no responsibility for management of the Development.
Borrower shall retain a professional property management company approved by the County in
its reasonable discretion to perform Borrower's management duties hereunder. An on-site
property manager is also required.
5.2 Management Agent. Borrower shall cause the Development to be managed by an
experienced management agent reasonably acceptable to the County, with a demonstrated ability
to operate residential facilities like the Development in a manner that will provide decent, safe,
and sanitary housing (the "Management Agent"). The County has approved Satellite Affordable
Housing Associates Property Management as the Management Agent. Borrower shall submit for
the County's approval the identity of any proposed subsequent management agent. Borrower
shall also submit such additional information about the background, experience and financial
condition of any proposed management agent as is reasonably necessary for the County to
determine whether the proposed management agent meets the standard for a qualified
management agent set forth above. If the proposed management agent meets the standard for a
qualified management agent set forth above, the County shall approve the proposed management
agent by notifying Borrower in writing. Unless the proposed management agent is disapproved
by the County within thirty (30) days, which disapproval is to state with reasonable specificity
the basis for disapproval, it shall be deemed approved.
5.3 Periodic Performance Review. The County reserves the right to conduct an
annual (or more frequently, if deemed necessary by the County) review of the management
practices and financial status of the Development. The purpose of each periodic review will be
to enable the County to determine if the Development is being operated and managed in
accordance with the requirements and standards of this Agreement. Borrower shall cooperate
with the County in such reviews.
5.4 Replacement of Management Agent. If, as a result of a periodic review, the
County determines in its reasonable judgment that the Development is not being operated and
managed in accordance with any of the material requirements and standards of this Agreement,
the County shall deliver notice to Borrower of its intention to cause replacement of the
Management Agent, including the reasons therefor. Within fifteen (15) days after receipt by
Borrower of such written notice, the County staff and Borrower shall meet in good faith to
consider methods for improving the financial and operating status of the Development,
including, without limitation, replacement of the Management Agent.
If, after such meeting, County staff recommends in writing the replacement of the
Management Agent, Borrower shall promptly dismiss the then-current Management Agent, and
shall appoint as the Management Agent a person or entity meeting the standards for a
17
863\01\1367104.3
management agent set forth in Section 5.2 above and approved by the County pursuant to
Section 5.2 above.
Any contract for the operation or management of the Development entered into by
Borrower shall provide that the Management Agent may be dismissed and the contract
terminated as set forth above. Failure to remove the Management Agent in accordance with the
provisions of this Section constitutes a default under this Agreement, and the County may
enforce this provision through legal proceedings as specified in Section 6.5 below.
5.5 Approval of Management Policies. Borrower shall submit its written
management policies with respect to the Development to the County for its review, and shall
amend such policies in any way necessary to ensure that such policies comply with the
provisions of this Agreement.
5.6 Property Maintenance.
(a)Borrower shall maintain, for the entire Term of this Agreement, all interior
and exterior Improvements, including landscaping in decent, safe and sanitary condition, and in
good condition and repair, in accordance with (i) 24 C.F.R. Section 92.251, and (ii) the
maintenance standards provided by the County (the "Maintenance Standards"). The
Maintenance Standards, which set forth inspectable items and areas, and this Agreement,
implement 24 C.F.R. Section 92.251. Borrower shall cause the Development to be: (i)
maintained in accordance with all applicable laws, rules, ordinances, orders and regulations of all
federal, state, county, municipal, and other governmental agencies and bodies having or claiming
jurisdiction and all their respective departments, bureaus, and officials, including but not limited
to the lead-based paint requirements in 24 C.F.R. part 35; and (ii) free of all health and safety
defects. Borrower shall correct any life-threatening maintenance deficiencies, including those
set forth in the Maintenance Standards immediately upon notification.
(b)At the beginning of each year of the Term, Borrower shall certify to the
County that the Development is in compliance with the Maintenance Standards.
5.7 Property Inspections.
(a)On-Site Physical Inspections. The County will perform on-site inspections
of the Development during the Term to ensure compliance with the Maintenance Standards.
The County will perform an on-site inspection within twelve months after completion of
construction of the Development and at least once every three (3) years during the Term. If the
Development is found to have health and safety violations, the County may perform more
frequent inspections. Borrower shall cooperate in such inspections.
(b)Violation of Maintenance Standards. If after an inspection, the County
determines that Borrower is in violation of the Maintenance Standards, the County will provide
Borrower a written report of the violations. Borrower shall correct the violations set forth in the
report provided to Borrower by County. The County will perform a follow-up inspection to
verify that the violations have been corrected. If such violations continue for a period of ten
(10) days after delivery of the report to Borrower by the County with respect to graffiti, debris,
18
863\01\1367104.3
waste material, and general maintenance, or thirty (30) days after delivery of the report to
Borrower by the County with respect to landscaping and building improvements, then the
County, in addition to whatever other remedy it may have at law or in equity, has the right to
enter upon the Property and perform or cause to be performed all such acts and work necessary
to cure the violation. Pursuant to such right of entry, the County is permitted (but is not
required) to enter upon the Property and to perform all acts and work necessary to protect,
maintain, and preserve the improvements and landscaped areas on the Property, and to attach a
lien on the Property, or to assess the Property, in the amount of the expenditures arising from
such acts and work of protection, maintenance, and preservation by the County and/or costs of
such cure, which amount Borrower shall promptly pay to the County upon demand.
