SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
Department: Economic Development
Prepared by: Danielle O’Leary,
Economic Development Director
City Manager Approval: ______________
TOPIC: GROUND LEASE TO CENTERTOWN II, LP OF 855 C STREET
SUBJECT: ORDINANCE APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE A
GROUND LEASE OF THE REAL PROPERTY AT 855 C STREET, SAN RAFAEL
(CENTERTOWN) TO CENTERTOWN II, LP
RECOMMENDATION:
Pass to print an ordinance approving and authorizing the Mayor to execute a “Ground Lease (Centertown
Project)” substantially in the form attached, which grants Centertown II, LP a California limited
partnership, a 99-year ground lease of the City-owned property at 855 C Street, and to sign all documents
reasonably required to terminate the current ground lease in favor of Centertown Ltd., a California limited
partnership (and affiliate of Centertown II, LP), and authorizing the Mayor and City Manager to execute
all other documents reasonably required to carry out the intent and purposes of the foregoing.
BACKGROUND:
On August 17, 2020, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 14851, approving and authorizing the City
Manager to execute an Option to Lease, which granted Centertown II, LLC, an affiliate of Centertown II,
LP, an option to lease this same City-owned property at 855 C Street. The background to Resolution
No. 14851, including the original (current) lease to Centertown, Ltd. (an affiliate of Centertown II, LLC
and Centertown II, LP), and the need to raise funds to rehabilitate the property, is described in the agenda
report for the August 17, 2020 San Rafael City Council meeting.
ANALYSIS:
This Ground Lease is the next stage of the transaction contemplated by Resolution No. 14851. As
contemplated by that Resolution, Centertown II, LP has, subject to closing, obtained the necessary
funding to rehabilitate the property.
From the City’s perspective, the essential business terms of the Ground Lease are as follows:
SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 2
Term: 99 years. Under the current schedule, the commencement date will be on or about
October 22, 2021, although that could change.
Premises: City-owned land at 855 C Street, previously leased to Centertown, Ltd. (an affiliate
of Centertown LP). The improvements, previously owned by Centertown, LTD, will
be owned by its successor Centertown II, LP. The prior lease with Centertown, Ltd.
will be terminated.
Base Rent to City: One-time payment of $83,000 (appraised land value) plus $1.00 per year (both
payable at closing), plus a $5,000 per year monitoring fee (escalated per CPI).
Use: Rehabilitating, constructing, owning and operating a residential development and
related uses, including at least 60 dwelling units. Consistent with the current ground
lease, at least 48% of the units (i.e., 28 of the 60) must be rented to households
earning not more than 80% of the area median income in the San Francisco Bay
Area, adjusted for household size (“lower income”). Other funders have even
stronger restrictions. For example, CTCAC requires 100% of the units (other than
the manager’s) to be leased to tenants at or below 60% of Marin County AMI. As
described in the Seifel Consulting, Inc. report included with the Resolution No. 14851
agenda report, all Centertown residents at the time were lower income households,
and many of them were extremely low.
City Loans: As described in the Resolution No. 14851 agenda report, the various City
outstanding loans will be consolidated into a single loan. The City is not expected
to be required to loan additional funds for the project. The specific terms of the City’s
consolidated loan, as well as a specific City Affordable Housing Regulatory
Agreement, will be brought to the Council for review and approval at a later meeting
closer to the expected closing/commencement date.
Timing: The current project schedule contemplates a closing on October 22, 2021. This
ordinance is being introduced for initial approval at the September 13, 2021 City
Council meeting and if passed, will be scheduled for final adoption at the September
20, 2021 Council meeting. The intent is to have the approved ordinance become
effective on October 20, 2021, in advance of the anticipated closing date.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The purpose of this ordinance is to provide BRIDGE/EAH the opportunity to re-syndicate and refinance
Centertown located at 855 C Street in San Rafael, California to provide flood improvements, ADA
improvements, and other necessary ongoing maintenance. City Council approval of an ordinance is
required to approve the new ground lease for BRIDGE/EAH to proceed with re-syndication and
refinancing of this property.
There is no fiscal impact in adopting an ordinance that approves and authorizes the Mayor to execute
the ground lease. The City will receive a base rent payable at closing along with a $5,000 per year
monitoring fee (escalated per CPI).
OPTIONS:
The City Council has the following options to consider on this matter:
1. Pass the ordinance to print.
SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 3
2. Pass the ordinance with modifications.
3. Direct staff to return with more information.
4. Take no action.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt ordinance approving and authorizing the Mayor to execute a ground lease of real property at 855
C Street, San Rafael (Centertown) to Centertown II, LP.

Memorandum
Date August 7, 2020
To: City of San Rafael
From: Seifel Consulting, Inc.
Subject: San Rafael Centertown Apartments Due Diligence
Seifel Consulting, Inc. (Seifel) has performed a due diligence analysis regarding a proposed ground lease
amendment and funding request from BRIDGE Housing and EAH Housing (BRIDGE/EAH) that would
substantially rehabilitate Centertown Apartments (Centertown) in downtown San Rafael. The current
residents of Centertown are in substantial need of affordable housing as their incomes are significantly
below typical household incomes in Marin County.
Prior to BRIDGE/EAH acquiring the site, the property was originally planned as condominiums, but the
condominium development failed financially prior to construction completion. The City of San Rafael
(City) and its former Redevelopment Agency collaborated with BRIDGE/EAH to acquire the property
and redevelop it as 60 units of affordable rental housing. As part of the project’s financial structure, the
City owns the land, and a BRIDGE/EAH-controlled limited partnership (Centertown Associated Ltd)
ground leases the property from the City and owns the Centertown building improvements. EAH is the
property manager for the property.
While BRIDGE/EAH were able to redevelop the property into apartments in 1992 by incorporating the
existing, partially built foundation, Centertown has unfortunately experienced subsequent construction
related issues including significant problems related to water intrusion.. These problems, coupled with the
overall age of the building, have resulted in the need for substantial ongoing investment out of operating
cash flow. BRIDGE/EAH have requested and been granted the deferral of payments on the City’s ground
lease and outstanding promissory note, as well as loan payment deferrals from other soft lenders, to pay
for needed repairs and increase replacement reserves to help pay for the proposed substantial
rehabilitation of the property.
BRIDGE/EAH commissioned Marx | OKUBO Associates to perform a Facility Condition Assessment of
the property to determine its condition and the need for repairs to the building systems. As will be further
described below, the property is in significant need of repair given its age and construction type.
BRIDGE/EAH are proposing to undertake rehabilitation improvements to the property as recommended
in the Facility Condition Assessment and to provide additional building common area for residents and
property management. The proposed re-syndication of the property and amendment to the ground lease is
anticipated to leverage substantial funding from the State of California, County of Marin and private
capital to holistically correct the property’s waterproofing issues and to undertake other needed
rehabilitation.
Both BRIDGE and EAH have a long history of developing, rehabilitating and managing affordable
housing. As the property manager of Centertown, EAH provides a broad array of resident services and
regularly communicates with residents. Once BRIDGE/EAH have been able to secure funding for the
Seif el

rehabilitation, they will provide information to the residents regarding the likely rehabilitation schedule
and information regarding any temporary moves that households may need to make during the
rehabilitation process. Alternative housing will be provided at no additional cost to residents who need to
be temporarily relocated, and they will receive assistance with their move and will not have to pay any
costs associated with the move or storage for personal belongings. The main focus will be to provide
ample information and support to residents, as well as comfortable and convenient accommodations
during any temporary moves.
In order to perform its due diligence analysis, Seifel analyzed a series of technical documents that were
provided by City and BRIDGE/EAH staff and are referenced in this memorandum. Seifel also
interviewed City staff and BRIDGE/EAH staff regarding specific elements of the proposed project
and worked with staff and outside counsel to refine the proposed terms of the ground lease amendment
and funding request to the City.
This memorandum is organized into the following sections:
A. Project Description
B. Existing Ground Lease
C. Existing City Loan and Other Financial Obligations
D. Proposed Rehabilitation Program
E. Proposed Funding Program and Ground Lease Modifications
F. Due Diligence Findings
G. Conclusion
The due diligence analysis in this memorandum documents why BRIDGE/EAH’s proposed modifications
to the ground lease and City loan requests are reasonable, and how they will help the City of San Rafael
preserve and substantially rehabilitate an important source of affordable housing for local residents,
consistent with the City’s Housing Element goals. The proposed resyndication and rehabilitation program
will improve the living environment for approximately 180 of the City’s lower income residents and will
leverage sufficient public and private funding to accomplish much needed repairs and building
improvements that will enhance the City’s long-term interests in the property.
A. Project Description
Centertown Apartments is located at 855 C Street on a 0.98-acre lot in downtown San Rafael owned by
the City of San Rafael. The property was a housing asset of the former San Rafael Redevelopment
Agency (SRRA). The City also owns the adjoining property at 815 C Street.
BRIDGE/EAH redeveloped the property into 60 affordable apartments in 1992 by incorporating an
existing, partially completed foundation structure that was part of a former condominium development.1
The former condominium developer declared bankruptcy before construction was complete, and the
property was foreclosed in 1984 by the United States Bank. The foundations remained as they were
constructed in 1983 until BRIDGE/EAH began construction on Centertown Apartments in the early
1990s.2
1 For purposes of this memorandum, the use of the term BRIDGE/EAH refers to the Centertown legal entities that have
developed and are proposing to rehabilitate and resyndicate the property.
2 A detailed history of the development and key terms of the City’s ground lease and loans are presented in the Centertown Deal
Memo, which was prepared by Page Robbins Associates for the City of San Rafael on February 1, 2000. This is a major source
of information that was used in this due diligence analysis, which was verified to the extent feasible with current City and
BRIDGE/EAH staff, as well as outside counsel. I
Page 3
The apartment building contains approximately 85,469 gross square feet of building area and is arranged
around a central courtyard. Centertown provides 59 affordable family apartments– 17 one-bedroom units,
27 two-bedroom units, and 15 three-bedroom units. An onsite property manager occupies a two-bedroom
manager’s unit for a total of 60 units. The property includes 102 parking spaces including six offsite
spaces on 815 C Street that are able to be used by Centertown residents under the terms of a recorded
Declaration of Restrictions for as long as the property remains residential and parking is required by the
City.
All of the residents of Centertown are lower income households, with many of them being extremely low
income. According to BRIDGE/EAH, the average household income of Centertown residents is about
32% of the Marin County Areawide Median Income (AMI).
B. Existing Ground Lease
On March 8, 1988, BRIDGE entered into the initial Purchase Agreement with United Savings Bank to
acquire the property. Later that year, property ownership was transferred from United Savings Bank to the
former San Rafael Redevelopment Agency (SRRA). In 1989, property ownership of the adjacent
815 C Street was transferred from BRIDGE to SRRA. Both sites were then leased by the Lessor, SRRA,
through a long-term ground lease to the Lessee, a project specific legal entity called Centertown
Associates managed by BRIDGE/EAH.
The ground lease was originally recorded on November 30, 1989, and the term of the ground lease is 75
years. Three ground lease amendments have occurred since 1989 that amended specific sections related to
the payment of ground rent given evolving financial conditions over time.
The original ground lease and subsequent amendments describe a complicated stream of payments that
occur during specific periods of time. These payment amounts were tied to the project’s projected ability
to meet its financial obligations including the repayment of loans that were provided by the City and the
former SRRA. The most critical portions of the ground lease payment structure are summarized here:
• For the first five years, the Lessee’s initial ground lease payment or ground rent was $1 per year.
o A reconciliation was done in the sixth year to determine if the Lessee’s equity
investment had been returned, and the rent continued at $1 per year until this occurred.
• Once the Lessee’s equity investment was returned, the ground rent became 9% of gross income
paid annually in arrears until it accumulates to $1,061,104.
o As further described below, the California Department of Housing and Community
Development (HCD) provided a loan to the property that is subject to an HCD
Regulatory Agreement that limits the amount of annual ground lease payments to a
maximum of $69,880 ($84,880 minus a $15,000 partnership management fee).3
• Once $1,061,104 in ground rent payments have accumulated, the ground lease payment is $1 per
year until all of the original City and SRRA loans are repaid. (Only one City loan is currently
outstanding as described below.)
• After the City and SRRA loans are repaid, ground rent is then based on 6% of gross income.
3 The HCD Regulatory Agreement does not allow cumulative distributions, but instead allows an annual distribution of up to
$84,880 in any year when there is net cash flow. After the allowable deduction of $15,000 for a Partnership Management Fee,
$69,880 is available for payment of the deferred ground lease rent, although in recent years, surplus revenues have been used to
fund reserves in order to meet repairs. I
Page 4
Based on an analysis of historical payments that were reported in annual financial audits performed on
Centertown, the Lessee has made approximately $430,000 in payments on the ground lease through
December 2019, which means that about $631,000 is remaining to be paid on the current $1,061,104
ground lease payment tranche. Since 2016, almost all of the remaining cash flow has been deposited in
the replacement reserve account to help pay for repairs on the property, and only about $4,500 in ground
lease payments have been made since then.
C. Existing City Loan and Other Loan Obligations
The property has several outstanding loans that are payable to the City of San Rafael, State of California,
County of Marin, and Citibank.
1. Existing City Loan
The former SRRA and the City provided three loans to help finance redevelopment of the property. All
but one loan was repaid in the early 1990s. The remaining $303,000 promissory note from the former
SRRA was transferred to the City, which is referred to in this memo as the existing City loan.
According to the City’s FY 2018/19 Consolidated Annual Financial Report (CAFR), the former SRRA
loaned $303,000 at 3% simple interest to Centertown Associates, Ltd, which was due to be paid semi-
annually. This existing City loan is fully secured by a deed of trust. With the dissolution of the
Redevelopment Agency effective February 1, 2012, the assets of the Agency’s Low and Moderate Income
Housing Fund (LMHAF), including the Centertown Associates loan, were assumed by the City’s Low
and Moderate Income Housing Special Revenue Fund.
The existing City loan was amended, with the relevant terms being contained in the Amended and
Restated Promissory Note dated May 6, 1991, with a maturity date of June 30, 2023.
Payments have been made on this loan over the years, and the remaining balance is about $260,000
according to the most recent City Consolidated Annual Financial Report (CAFR) and Centertown 2019
Audit performed on behalf of BRIDGE/EAH.4 (Please see Appendix Table A-1 for additional
information regarding this loan and other loan obligations.)
2. California Housing and Community Development (HCD) Loan
The California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) provided a Rental Housing
and Construction Program (RHCP) loan to the property in the early 1990s, which is subject to an HCD
Regulatory Agreement that restricts rents on 29 units (RHCP units). The loan is for 3% simple interest
and is payable by November 5, 2052. The current principal balance is $1,722,662, and about
$1.45 million in interest has accrued on this loan as of the end of 2019.
3. County of Marin Loan
The County of Marin (County) provided two loans totaling $99,504 loan to the property in the early
1990s, which is subject to a loan agreement that has a unique set of interest and payment provisions. No
interest or principal is currently due, but the loan comes due on May 1, 2021. (The County also provided a
CDBG loan of $59,504 that has since been retired.)
4 The remaining balance on the City loan is $259,756 (including accrued interest) as of December 31, 2019, according to the
most recent Centertown 2019 Audit (Centertown Associates, Ltd. Financial Statements and Independent Auditor’s Report,
December 31, 2019). The City’s FY 2018/19 Consolidated Annual Financial Report (CAFR) indicates that the remaining
balance as of the end of June 30, 2019 was $256,870. I
Page 5
4. Citibank Loans (AHP and Permanent Mortgage)
In addition to these soft, public agency loans, two private loans were provided to the project. The
Affordable Housing Program (AHP) loan is a soft private loan that is provided through Citibank (Citi). It
has a 0% interest rate and a 30-year term, with a due date of June 30, 2023. BRIDGE/EAH believe that
this loan will be forgiven and will no longer apply to the property in the future.
A senior permanent mortgage with a remaining balance of $236,321 is payable to Citibank and serviced
by Berkadia Commercial Mortgage. This loan is senior to all other loan obligations, and the required
payments are due in monthly installments of $5,981, based on a 30-year amortization including interest at
4.690%. The loan is due in full in the year 2023. (Please refer to Appendix Table A-1 for a summary of
these loans that is organized according to the seniority of the loans based on the City’s records.)
5. Deferral of Loan Payments
In the past five years, BRIDGE/EAH have requested and been granted annual deferral of payments on the
City’s ground lease and outstanding promissory note, as well as loan payment deferrals from HCD in
order to contribute additional funds to the replacement reserves. According to the Centertown 2019 Audit,
the property currently has about $614,354 in replacement reserves available for capital improvements as
of the end of 2019.
D. Proposed Rehabilitation Program
As described above, the Centertown development has experienced numerous construction related issues,
which include significant problems related to water intrusion, aging building systems and deferred
maintenance, as identified in the Facility Needs Assessment performed by Marx | OKUBO Associates.
These problems are not uncommon for a building that was constructed about three decades ago,
particularly for affordable housing that does not generate sufficient cash flow to pay for significant
rehabilitation costs. While ongoing repairs have been undertaken, the needed level of repairs substantially
exceeds the replacement reserve account that has been accumulated from project cash flow, and the
apartments require substantial renovation to improve the health, safety and quality of life for residents.
BRIDGE/EAH are proposing to resyndicate and refinance Centertown using tax exempt bonds and low
income housing tax credits (LIHTC), as further described in the next section, in order to rehabilitate the
property to address all immediate physical needs and establish reserves and cash flow to address future
maintenance needs as they arise. All of the existing residents will be able to continue to reside in their
apartments, although some residents could be temporarily moved depending on the extent of renovation
in their units. These residents will be able to move back to their original unit once renovated.
The rehabilitation program is proposed to include the following improvements in the following priority
order:
1. Waterproofing-related repairs, including the replacement of windows and sliding glass doors,
repair of the roof membrane, shingles, gutters, and downspouts, and the removal and
replacement of all cement plaster, repair of gypsum and plywood siding.
2. Exterior improvements to improve health and safety, including replacement of ceramic tiles, use
of non-skid strips, signage, upgrades to handrails and entrances.
3. Accessibility upgrades to meet Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements, including
the renovation of six apartment units to serve persons with disabilities.
4. Upgrade and/or replacement of HVAC, plumbing and electrical that will make the property
safer, healthier, and environmentally sustainable and provide more efficient operations. I
Page 6
5. Upgrade of unit interiors to address critical repairs related to plumbing leaks and decayed unit
finishes.
6. Community building addition of approximately 1,100 square feet to be located on the property’s
lower, interior courtyard, which will provide a community room, common area restrooms,
kitchen area, resident service rooms and management offices.
7. Upgrade of common areas, including replacement of damaged exterior common area and
dwelling unit doors and installation of resilient flooring in corridors.
8. Repair and upgrade of the courtyard and parking areas.
9. Should sufficient funds be available, additional rehabilitation of unit interiors will be done to
those units most in need of updated interior finishes, which would include new kitchens,
bathrooms, flooring and lighting fixtures.
These improvements will be done approximately in the priority order described above. The total
estimated cost for the proposed improvements is approximately $10 million, which includes an
approximately 10 percent hard cost contingency that is typical for rehabilitation of older properties. The
City’s Building Department will monitor the rehabilitation efforts through its permitting and inspection
process. Appendix Table A-2 shows the proposed development sources, which presents all of the costs
associated the renovation and resyndication including the construction hard cost.
To permit the new addition proposed for the lower, interior courtyard, the BRIDGE/EAH team have
submitted a design review application to the City’s Zoning Administrator, and approvals were received on
July 22, 2020. The remainder of the rehabilitation scope is by-right and a building permit application will
be submitted in February 2021, in anticipation of a May 2021 construction start.
E. Resident Communication and Temporary Relocation
As the property manager of Centertown, EAH regularly communicates with Centertown residents and
provides an array of social services through the EAH “StayWell!” program for families, individuals, and
aging adults. Once BRIDGE/EAH have been able to secure funding for the rehabilitation, they will
provide information to the residents regarding the proposed rehabilitation schedule and any temporary
moves that households may need to make during the rehabilitation process.
The proposed exterior rehabilitation and a substantial portion of the interior rehabilitation, including
window/sliding door replacement, lighting, heating and water saving upgrades to all 60 units, can be
performed while residents remain in their units. However, the proposed ADA retrofits for 6 units, and the
potential kitchen and/or bathroom replacements in about 6-12 units, will be most effectively and safely
done if households are temporarily moved while these upgrades are performed.
This means that some households will be temporarily relocated for a period of approximately 4-8 weeks
while their units undergo interior rehabilitation work. Every effort will be made to minimize the time
when residents must leave their homes. A relocation consultant and on-site property management staff
will work with all affected households to address their immediate needs and resolve health and safety
concerns.
Accommodations will be provided to residents who are temporarily relocated at no additional cost to the
tenants. Packing materials, moving and storage of tenant belongings will also be coordinated and
facilitated for them. The rehabilitation budget includes projected costs associated with the temporary
relocation, and affected residents will not have to pay any of these expenses. The main focus will be to
provide ample information and communication regarding any required move and to provide comfortable
and convenient alternative housing for them during the relocation period. Once unit renovations are
complete residents will be able to return to their original units. I
Page 7
BRIDGE/EAH are in the process of retaining a relocation consultant who will interview residents,
prepare a relocation plan and then implement the plan to accomplish the temporary relocation in
compliance with all relevant State and Federal laws. Interviews will be conducted with current residents
to understand their housing needs, including any special needs related to disabilities and health problems,
and their preferences related to the location and type of temporary housing. Relocation information and
assistance will be provided in the primary language of the residents in order to assure that they understand
the relocation plan and how their housing needs will be addressed.
A relocation schedule and noticing will be provided to households once the construction phasing is
confirmed and BRIDGE/EAH know which households may be affected. A BRIDGE/EAH rehabilitation
project manager will work closely with the General Contractor, relocation consultant, and property
management staff to ensure a smooth construction schedule and facilitate temporary relocation.
F. Proposed Funding Program and Ground Lease Amendment
BRIDGE/EAH are proposing to renegotiate the existing City, County and State loans to extend their term
and modify their interest rates in some cases, among other modifications to be negotiated between the
parties. BRIDGE/EAH are also proposing to resyndicate and refinance the development using tax exempt
bonds and LIHTC that would be applied for in September 2020 to the California Debt Limit Advisory
Committee (CDLAC). Each of the major proposed sources of funding are described below and shown in
Appendix Table A-3.
As part of the proposed funding program, the apartments will continue to be restricted as affordable rental
units for another 55 years. BRIDGE/EAH propose to maintain the current income restrictions, which
range from 50% to 60% of the Area Median Income (AMI). More than 40% of the units will continue to
house residents earning 50% AMI or less. Currently, fifteen residents receive Housing Choice Vouchers
(HCV) from the Marin County Housing Authority that provide additional annual revenues to Centertown.
The 29 RHCP units will be maintained, which are subject to the HCD Regulatory Agreement and have
rents that are subject to review and approval by HCD. Table 1 shows the proposed household income
distribution at Centertown, which will remain substantively the same as the current income mix.
I
Page 8
Table 1
Resident Affordability by Unit Type
Centertown Apartments
The current resident population is primarily families, with a number of single adults and seniors. This
resident mix is proposed to continue in the future. While Centertown does not currently have any special
needs or targeted populations, BRIDGE/EAH are proposing to retrofit six units to be fully ADA
accessible, as required by TCAC. These units will be available to current households with disabilities and
will be also be provided to new households with disabilities if residents were to move. Although no
special needs units would be designated, some of the units will continue to be rented to extremely low-
income households that earn 30% or less of AMI. (Although these units are designated as very low-
income units affordable at 50% AMI, some are occupied by extremely low-income households.
1. Modifications to City Loans and Ground Lease
BRIDGE/EAH are proposing that the City amend the loan terms of the existing City loan, and this loan
would continue to remain a source of funding for the rehabilitation program. The existing City loan would
be modified to change the interest rate to meet tax credit requirements (from 3% simple to compounding
interest at the Applicable Federal Rate or AFR), extend the loan term to 55 years, and other needed
changes to be negotiated with the City. The existing City loan would be assigned to the new tax credit
partnership when this occurs, anticipated to be in May 2021.
A Fourth Amendment to the Ground Lease is proposed to occur at the end of 2020, and an option to enter
into a new ground lease would be entered into during August 2020, with the formal agreement for the
new ground lease to occur only if and when the re-syndication and refinancing process moves forward.
The Option to Ground Lease is a required document to be submitted with the project’s joint
TCAC/CDLAC application to establish site control (a Purchase and Sale Agreement will also be entered
into for the improvements).

a. Fourth Amendment to the Ground Lease (To be Executed by End of 2020)
Under the City’s existing ground lease, the City is unlikely to receive substantive ground lease payments
in the future as surplus cash flow will likely continue to be needed for repairs. The estimated hard cost for
repairs (before consideration of soft costs related to professional services to undertake them) is
$10 million in 2020 dollars. If this amount of rehabilitation were divided by the 42 years remaining on the
ground lease, the operating cash flow would need to contribute $238,000 per year (in 2020 dollars)
toward these repairs to accomplish them by the end of the ground lease. As noted in Section C, only
$69,880 is allowed by HCD to be annually paid out of project cash flow, so there would not be sufficient
cash flow to pay for all of the proposed repairs before the end of the lease term.
In recent years, the developer has requested permission to contribute excess cash flow into replacement
reserves, rather than make residual receipts distributions to ground lease and soft debt payments. These
requests have consistently been approved by the City and HCD. The replacement reserves have been used
to make immediate repairs and to save for the upcoming substantial rehabilitation that is planned for
2021.
Additionally, structural changes to the current ground lease payment structure are needed to bring the
ground lease into compliance with IRS rules. These changes need to occur prior to the anticipated
construction financing closing/resyndication event that is anticipated for May 2021. The developer and
investor’s respective tax counsel advise that amendments to the ground lease and the new loan be
completed in 2020.
Taking into account these considerations while also seeking to enhance potential revenues to the City, the
fourth amendment of the ground lease is proposed to modify the lease as follows:
• $1 per year ground lease payment plus a $5,000 per year annual City monitoring fee. These annual
payments will continue until a new lease is negotiated.
• The remaining balance of the second ground lease payment tranche, which is approximately
$631,000, will become the principal amount on a new City loan.5
o The precise loan amount will be verified with City staff and be based on the Centertown 2019
Audit as of 12/31/19 and the City’s FY 2018/19 CAFR.)
o This new City loan will ultimately be consolidated with the existing City loan and become
part of a consolidated City loan to the new Limited Partnership should the resyndication and
refinancing proceed. This consolidated City loan will be a part of the overall residual receipts
distributions.
• The fourth amendment and the new City deferred loan are proposed to be entered into by the end of
2020 with City Council approval, once receipt of the tax credit and bond allocation is received.
The proposed 4th Amendment and the New City Loan allows the accrued ground rent of $631,000 to be
recast as a loan, which paves the way for an optimal structure for the project’s resyndication and future
5 The New City Loan will be evidenced by a promissory note, with a maturity date of November 6, 2052 (after the HCD loan
term has expired but before the expiration of the current Ground Lease term, which expires November 5, 2064) and will be a
fully deferred soft loan. It will not be secured by the Property, but a default under the promissory note will be a default under
the Ground Lease, which is how the Ground Lease payment is secured now. The New City Loan will essentially be a
placeholder loan, as it will be consolidated with the City's Existing Loan when that loan is modified (to change some of the
terms to comply with tax credit requirements such as: changing the interest rate from 3% simple to compounding AFR,
extending the term to 55 years, and other needed changes to be negotiated with the City) and assigned to the new tax credit
partnership in May 2021. I

ground lease, while at the same time preserving the City’s ability to retain the ability to collect residual
receipts payments from $631,000 in the resyndication financial plan.
b. Option to Ground Lease and New Ground Lease (Option To be Executed in August 2020;
New Ground Lease Agreement to Occur with Proposed Resyndication and Refinancing)
The proposed ground lease option would enable BRIDGE/EAH and the City to negotiate a new lease
under the following terms, which may be modified as the financing program is refined over the next few
months:
• A new ground lease term of 99 years from the date of execution.
• $83,000 upfront ground lease payment based on a 2020 property appraisal that indicates the current
land value is $83,000, due to existing regulatory restrictions on the property. (This amount would be
paid to the City at closing.)
• Payment of a $5,000 per year annual City monitoring fee, which could escalate at 3% per year after
permanent financing is in place. This amount will be determined in collaboration with City staff
based on experience with other projects, taking into account the size of this development.
• The ground lease language will be modernized in connection with the resyndication, which will
include a provision that the ground rent won't exceed the market value of the land.
• As described above, the consolidated City loan would be entered into at the same time.
As noted above, BRIDGE/EAH need a contractual option to enter a new ground lease in order to meet
requirements for applying for tax credits and tax exempt bond monies. Entering into a new ground lease
will enable the proposed resyndication and rehabilitation to occur, which will significantly improve the
building improvements. As the City will ultimately receive the building improvements at the end of the
lease, the rehabilitation will enhance the City’s long-term asset. Any new ground lease will have to be
approved by the City Council, but subject to the material terms agreed to in the Option.
c. New Housing Trust Fund Loan
BRIDGE/EAH is applying to the City for between $500,000 and $1 million in Housing Trust Funds to
help fund the rehabilitation of the development. (The City’s funds will be solely used for this purpose.) If
approved, these loan funds would collectively be repaid out of residual cash flow from the project in
proportion to the City’s contribution, as the project stabilizes. Table 2 summarizes the proposed City
funding.

2. California Housing and Community Development (HCD) Loan
BRIDGE/EAH are proposing that HCD amend the existing HCD loan terms and allow this loan to remain
a source of funding for the rehabilitation program pursuant to HCD's Loan Portfolio Restructuring
Program and Guidelines. The existing HCD loan would be modified to change the interest rate to AFR,
extend the loan term to 55 years, and other needed changes to be negotiated with HCD. The HCD loan
would also be assigned to the new tax credit partnership. HCD would likely continue to receive an annual
senior payment of $10,311 per year, as well as a proportionate share of residual receipts.
3. County of Marin Loan
BRIDGE/EAH are also proposing that the County amend the loan terms of its existing County loan and
allow this loan to remain a source of funding for the rehabilitation program. In addition, BRIDGE/EAH
have received additional funding of approximately $1 million to help fund the project’s substantial
rehabilitation. The existing and new County loan would likely have the same terms, which would need to
be consistent with tax credit requirements and would be similar to the City and HCD loan terms as
described above.
4. Private Loans
In addition to these soft, public agency loans, BRIDGE/EAH will secure a permanent mortgage, which is
projected to be about $5 million in size. This loan will be senior to all other loan obligations, and the
required payments will likely be due in monthly installments based on a 40-year amortization at an
interest of about 4.25%. (The AHP loan is assumed to be forgiven.)
5. Replacement Reserves
BRIDGE/EAH are proposing to utilize about $680,000 in funding from replacement reserves to help pay
for the rehabilitation. As indicated earlier, the Centertown replacement reserve account has $614,354 in
funds as of 2019. Assuming the continuation of substantial HCV payments to tenants, additional funds
could be available from surplus cash flow to be deposited in the replacement reserve. The final amount of
replacement reserves that could be available to help pay for future rehabilitation costs will be finalized at
the close of construction period financing, and upon finalization of the 2020 financial audit of the
property. If additional reserves result in a surplus of project sources, the City of San Rafael Housing Trust
Fund would be reduced by an amount commensurate to the surplus.
6. Syndication Proceeds, General Partner Equity and Seller Carry Back Loan
BRIDGE/EAH are applying for low income housing tax credits, which will be syndicated and are
projected to yield about $9.1 million in investor equity. BRIDGE/EAH will also contribute about
$1.7 million in General Partner Equity that is equal to the portion of the developer fee that is in excess of
the allowable fee pursuant to State guidelines. The seller carry back loan represents the difference
between the appraised value for Centertown and the sum of the refinanced loans and the sponsor loan.
G. Due Diligence Findings
The Centertown apartments are in substantial need of rehabilitation, which is evident from the Facility
Needs Assessment performed by Marx | OKUBO Associates. In addition, BRIDGE/EAH retained an
experienced General Contractor (Saarman) to review the building conditions and prepare a detailed cost
estimate to undertake the rehabilitation in alignment with the findings of the Facility Needs Assessment.
Seifel reviewed the Facility Needs Assessment and interviewed BRIDGE/EAH to understand what
rehabilitation elements are most critically needed, as there may not be sufficient funding to undertake all I
Page 12
of the improvements that have been identified. Section D of this memorandum describes the proposed
rehabilitation and the proposed order of priority to undertake these improvements depending on the level
of available funding from all sources.
Seifel has reviewed BRIDGE/EAH’s funding plan as it evolved over the past two months and agrees that
BRIDGE/EAH has identified all relevant public funding sources that could be utilized for this
rehabilitation effort. BRIDGE/EAH will work to maximize the amount of revenues that are generated
from LIHTC, and BRIDGE/EAH will contribute about 40 percent of its eligible developer fee (in the
form of a General Partner contribution) to help fund the planned rehabilitation. In addition,
BRIDGE/EAH is providing a seller back carry loan to the development that is equal to the difference
between the appraised property value and the existing debt. Repayment on this loan is limited to 50% of
cash flow per the HCD Loan Portfolio Restructuring Guidelines.
Seifel reviewed BRIDGE/EAH’s financial pro forma, and the proposed high priority rehabilitation
projects that can be feasibly undertaken if the City, County, State and private lender provide the requested
level of funding. BRIDGE/EAH has included a 10% contingency to take into account cost escalation and
potential rehabilitation needs that could occur once construction begins.
Should less funding be available, the scope of the rehabilitation may need to be reduced. If additional
funding is available or not all of the construction contingency funds are needed, additional rehabilitation
improvements could be undertaken. Seifel worked with BRIDGE/EAH to identify and prioritize these
improvements, and BRIDGE/EAH is committed to implementing as many of the needed rehabilitation
improvements as possible, following the order of priority in this memorandum, or as this priority may be
further revised in consultation with City staff.
BRIDGE/EAH proposes that the existing public loans (soft debt) from the City of San Rafael, Marin
County and the State of California will be amended to a compounded interest rate equal to the AFR,
which is currently approximately 1.2%. While this proposed modification could generate less interest than
the City’s current 3% simple interest rate, this modification will generate additional tax credit equity for
the project. Furthermore, the AFR may increase by the time this project proceeds and be closer to the
City’s current effective interest rate.
Seifel worked with City staff, BRIDGE/EAH and outside counsel to refine what BRIDGE/EAH
originally proposed with respect to the ground lease and City funding. The proposed Fourth Amendment
to the Ground Lease and proposed Option to Ground Lease, and the recommended provision of a new
City loan equal to the outstanding balance on the ground lease, will enable the City to properly secure its
interest in the property and provide for greater participation in future residual receipts. Seifel also
prepared a comparative analysis of what the City would likely receive under the existing ground lease and
with the proposed project under two alternative revenue scenarios. Table 3 on the next page compares the
City revenues under these three scenarios. As this shows, the City will likely receive a larger stream of
revenues with the proposed project than under the existing ground lease scenario.
1. Scenario 1– Existing Ground Lease With Fourth Amendment
Scenario 1 assumes that the City would enter into the Fourth Amendment to the Ground Lease by the end
of 2020. As described above under Section E, the Fourth Amendment to the Ground Lease will revise the
existing payment terms to confirm with current IRS rules, provide for the payment of an annual
monitoring fee, and will facilitate the creation of a new City loan that will be refinanced in the
resyndication of the project, generating revenues to the City from residual receipts. I
Page 13
2. Scenario 2A and 2B– Proposed Project Under Two Revenue Scenarios
Two proposed project scenarios are analyzed that assume the proposed resyndication and rehabilitation
occurs based on key financial projections in the BRIDGE/EAH proforma. Scenario 2A assumes that
future rental revenues do not include payments from Housing Choice Vouchers, as HCV payments cannot
be underwritten to secure a permanent mortgage. Scenario 2A assumes that the resyndication occurs in
May 2021, the new ground lease is signed in connection with the resyndication’s financial closing, an
upfront ground lease payment of $83,000 is made at this time, and the City’s annual monitoring fee
payments continue throughout the term.
Scenario 2B assumes that 15 residents will continue to receive HCV, and revenues from these HCV
payments are included in the cash flow projections. Scenario 2B assumes that the resyndication is delayed
two years and occurs in May 2023, the new ground lease is signed prior to this date, an upfront ground
lease payment of $83,000 is made in May 2023, and the City’s annual monitoring fee payments continue
throughout the term. Scenario 2B generates significantly more revenues than the other two scenarios as
additional cash flow is generated, and about 12.7% of this cash flow accrues to the City.

H. Conclusion
As described above, the property needs to be substantially rehabilitated, and the proposed funding request
is reasonable. The City should continue to work with BRIDGE/EAH and the County to obtain the
additional $1 million in funding, as well as to facilitate the renegotiation of the HCD loan. In total, the
City’s commitment to the development would be to amend and renegotiate the ground lease and to enter
into the following loans with the future Limited Partnership:
• Existing Loan—Approximately $260,000, which is the current remaining balance including accrued
interest.
• New Loan– Approximately $631,000, which is equivalent to the remaining unpaid amount from the
ground lease.
• Potential Housing Trust Fund Loan— Between $500,000 and $1,000,000, which, if awarded, would
be used to help pay for new community facilities.
These loans would be repaid out of the resyndicated project’s residual cash flow in proportion to the
City’s contribution. The City’s investment will leverage about $21.8 million in private and public funding
to meet the total development costs of about $23.2 million net of the building acquisition value.
The City’s ground lease modification and investment will result in the following:
• Enhanced living environment for approximately 180 of the City’s lower income residents.
• Substantial health, life-safety, environmental and accessibility improvements.
• Continued preservation of 60 affordable apartments, with an extension of the affordability covenants
for another 55 years.
• Recapitalization of the development, which will leverage sufficient funding to undertake much
needed rehabilitation improvements that will enhance the City’s long term interests in the property.

GROUND LEASE
(Centertown Project)
THIS GROUND LEASE, dated for convenience October 22, 2021 (the "Ground
Lease"), is by and between the CITY OF SAN RAFAEL, a municipal corporation ("Lessor" or
"City") and CENTERTOWN II, LP, a California limited partnership ("Lessee").
RECITALS
A. The former Redevelopment Agency of the City of San Rafael, sometimes
referred to as San Rafael Redevelopment Agency, a public body, corporate and politic, and a
redevelopment agency organized pursuant to the former California Community Redevelopment
Law ("CRL"), California Health and Safety Code Section 33000 et seq. ("Former Agency"),
was the former owner of certain land, located at 855 C Street in the City (APN 011-254-19),
which is now more particularly described in Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein
(the "Land"). The Former Agency, as Lessor ("Prior Lessor"), entered into a 75 -year Ground
Lease, dated November 6, 1989 ("Original Ground Lease") for the Land with Centertown Ltd.,
a California limited partnership, with Centertown, Inc., a California nonprofit public benefit
corporation as general partner ("Prior Lessee"), for low income housing use.
B. The Original Ground Lease was subsequently amended and restated by the First
Amended and Restated Ground Lease dated August 20, 1990 ("A&R Ground Lease"). The
A&R Ground Lease was subsequently amended by the Second Amendment to the First
Amended and Restated Ground Lease dated May 6, 1991 ("Amendment 2"), the Third
Amendment to First Amended and Restated Ground Lease dated April 1, 1993 ("Amendment
3"), and the Fourth Amendment to First Amended and Restated Ground Lease dated June 2,
2021 ("Amendment 4"). The A&R Ground Lease, together with Amendment 2, Amendment 3
and Amendment 4, is hereby referred to as the "Prior Ground Lease."
C. Pursuant to the Original Ground Lease, Prior Lessor and Prior Lessee executed
a Memorandum of Ground Lease, dated November 6, 1989 ("Original Memorandum"), and
caused the original Memorandum to be recorded in the official records of Marin County
("Official Records") on November 30, 1989 as Document No. 89-69343. The Original
Memorandum was amended by that certain Amendment to Memorandum of Ground Lease,
dated May 6, 1991, recorded in Official Records on July 8, 1991 as Document No. 91-041695
(re-recorded in Official Records on January 16, 1992 as Document No. 92-003311)
("Memorandum Amendment 1") and that certain Second Amendment to memorandum of
Ground Lease, recorded in Official Records June 30, 1993 in Document No. 93-052072
("Memorandum Amendment 2" and, together with the Original Memorandum and
Memorandum Amendment 1, the "Prior Memorandum").
D. Pursuant to the Prior Ground Lease, the Prior Lessee developed, constructed,
owns and operates a residential development consisting of 59 units rented to and occupied by
very low, low and lower income households (plus one manager's unit) and commonly known as
Centertown Apartments ("Project"). The Project was completed on or about 1992.
E. By a Declaration of Restrictions executed by the Prior Lessor, recorded
September 11, 1990 in Official Records as Recorder's Serial No. 90-53574, Prior Lessee
obtained a non-exclusive right to use six (6) parking spaces at 1412 2nd Street, San Rafael
California (APN 11-252-10) ("Parking Rights").
08678.1
OAK #4812-6430-1550 v18
F. In 2011, the California Legislature adopted, the Governor signed, and the
California Supreme Court, in California Redevelopment Association, et al. v. Matosantos (2012)
53 CalAth 231, upheld Assembly Bill x1 26 ("ABx1 26"). Pursuant to ABx1 26 (as amended by
AB 1484 and SB 107, the "Dissolution Law"), all California redevelopment agencies were
dissolved effective February 1, 2012, including the Former Agency. Pursuant to the Dissolution
Law and resolutions adopted by the City's City Council on January 3, 2012 the City elected to
become the successor housing agency to the Former Agency, and thereby succeeded to all of
the Former Agency's right, title and interest in and to the Land and Prior Ground Lease.
G. The Project is in need of rehabilitation. To finance the rehabilitation, it was
determined to obtain a new allocation of low-income housing tax credits pursuant to Internal
Revenue Code Section 42 ("LIHTC"), which required, among other things, that: (1) the Project
be owned by a new limited partnership, the Lessee and (2) the term of the ground lease for the
Land be ninety-nine (99) years. Pursuant to that certain Option Agreement dated August 27,
2020 ("Option Agreement") by and between the City (as Prior Lessor) and Centertown II,
LLC, a California limited liability company ("General Partner"), with sole members BRIDGE
Housing Corporation and EAH Inc., each, a California nonprofit public benefit corporation
(collectively, the "Members"), as assigned by General Partner to Lessee, pursuant to that
certain Assignment and Assumption of Purchase and Sale Agreement and Option (the
"Assignment Agreement"), Lessee has an option to enter into a new 99 -year ground lease for
the Land, on terms and subject to certain conditions set forth in the Option Agreement, including
(1) sale of the Project to Lessee pursuant to a purchase and sale agreement and (11) termination
of the Prior Ground Lease.
H. After the Option Agreement: (1) the Prior Lessee entered into a Purchase and
Sale Agreement, dated September 8, 2020 ("PSA") with General Partner, which was assigned
by General Partner to Lessee pursuant to the Assignment Agreement, to purchase the Project.
I. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Ground Lease: (1) Lessor
and Lessee will record the Memorandum (as defined in Section 10.6) in the Official Records, (2)
Lessee will purchase a fee simple interest in all improvements on the Land, including without
limitation the Project in accordance with the PSA, pursuant to a [Grant Deed] executed by Prior
Lessee and recorded in the Official Records substantially concurrently with the Memorandum;
(3) Lessor and Prior Lessee will execute and deliver a Termination of Ground Lease Agreement
and Release of Memorandum of Ground Lease dated October 22, 2021, to be recorded in the
Official Records (which shall also terminate the Prior Memorandum); and (4) Prior Lessee will
execute and deliver to Lessor a recordable Quitclaim of all of its right, title and interest in and to

assessed against Lessor, or municipal, county, state or federal capital levy, succession, gift or
transfer taxes of Lessor, or corporation franchise taxes imposed upon any fee interest of the
Lessor in the Land, or any increase in real estate taxes or assessments on account of Lessor's
transfer of its fee title to the Land or a change in ownership of the Land other than to Lessee.
Lessee agrees promptly to send to Lessor copies of any and all notices received by it in respect
to any taxes or assessments affecting the Land which are the responsibility of the Lessor,
pursuant to the terms hereof.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, if Lessee
deems any Imposition imposed in connection with the ownership, use or occupancy of the
Development to be excessive or illegal, Lessee may defer payment thereof so long as the
validity or the amount thereof is contested by Lessee with diligence and in good faith; provided,
however, that Lessee, upon request by Lessor, shall furnish to Lessor a bond in form, and
issued by a surety company, reasonably satisfactory to Lessor, in an amount equal to the
amount of the tax so contested, which bond shall guarantee the payment thereof with interest
and penalties thereon; and provided further that if, at any time, payment of the whole of such tax
shall become necessary in order to prevent the termination by sale or otherwise of the right of
redemption of all or any part of the Development, or to prevent eviction of Lessor or of Lessee
because of non-payment thereof, Lessee shall pay the same, or cause the same to be paid, in
time to prevent such termination of the right of redemption or such eviction. Any contest as to
the validity or amount of any tax, whether before or after payment, may be made by Lessee in
the name of Lessor or of Lessee, or both, as Lessee shall determine, and Lessor agrees that it
will, at Lessee's expense, cooperate with Lessee in any such contest to such extent as Lessee
may reasonably request, it being understood, however, that Lessor shall not be subject to any
08678.1
OAK #4812-6430-1550 08
liability for the payment of any costs or expenses in connection with any proceedings brought by
Lessee, and Lessee covenants to pay, and to indemnify and save Lessor harmless from, any
such costs or expenses. Lessee shall be entitled to any refund of any such tax and penalties or
interest thereon which have been paid by Lessee or by Lessor and reimbursed to Lessor by
Lessee.
(d) In the event Lessor fails to timely pay any Imposition affecting the Land or
Development which Lessor is obligated to pay, Lessee may (but shall not be required to) pay
such Imposition and seek reimbursement from Lessor for such costs, which reimbursement
shall be made promptly following Lessee's request therefor.
(e) As used herein, the term "Property Taxes" shall include all general and special
taxes, assessments, duties and levies, charged and levied upon or assessed by any
governmental authority against the Development, including the Land, the Improvements, any
other improvements situated on the Land other than the Improvements, the various estates in
the Land and the Development, any leasehold improvements, fixtures, installations, additions
and equipment, whether owned by Lessor or Lessee. Further included in the definition of
Property Taxes herein shall be general and special assessments, license fees, levy or tax (other
than federal or state income or gift tax, and any franchise, capital stock, inheritance or estate
taxes) imposed by any authority having the direct or indirect power to tax, as against any legal
or equitable interest of the Lessor and/or Lessee in the Land or in the Development or on the
act of entering into leases or any tax, fee, or charge with respect to the possession, leasing,
transfer of interest, operation, management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use or occupancy
of the Development, or any tax imposed in substitution, partially or totally, for any tax previously
included within the definition of Property Taxes. Further, if at any time during the term of this
Ground Lease the method of taxation or assessment of real estate or the income therefrom
prevailing at the time of execution hereof shall be, or has been altered so as to cause the whole
or any part of the taxes now or hereafter levied, assessed or imposed on real estate to be
levied, assessed or imposed upon Lessor, wholly or partially, as a capital levy, business tax,
permit or other charge, then such new or altered taxes, regardless of their nature, which are
attributable to the land, the Improvements or to the Development shall be deemed to be
included within the term "Property Taxes" for purposes of this Subsection, whether in
substitution for, or in addition to any other Property Taxes. However, with respect to any
general or special assessments which may be levied upon or against the Land or which may be
evidenced by improvement or other bonds, or may be paid in annual or semiannual
installments, only the amount of such installment, prorated for any partial year, and statutory
interest shall be included within the computation of Property Taxes for which the Lessee is
responsible hereunder.

ARTICLE 3
CONSTRUCTION OF LESSEE IMPROVEMENTS; REHABILITATION AND MAINTENANCE,•
USE OF LAND
Section 3.1 Construction of Lessee Improvements.
(a) Lessee shall renovate the Improvements by constructing the Lessee
Improvements substantially as indicated in the Lessee Improvement Plans. All of the
Improvements, including without limitation the Lessee Improvements, shall be the fee simple
property of Lessee until the termination of this Ground Lease.
(b) Lessee shall construct the Lessee Improvements on or before the dates set forth
in the Schedule of Performance attached hereto as Exhibit E; provided, however, that any delay
in construction due to causes beyond the reasonable control of Lessee shall extend the time in
which said construction must be completed by the length of such delay.
(c) For the purpose of this Section 3.1, the term "beyond the reasonable control of
the Lessee" shall mean, and is limited to, delays caused directly by acts of God; epidemics;
pandemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes; lockouts; sit-downs; acts of a governmental agency;
priorities or privileges established for the manufacture, assembly, or allotment of materials
necessary in the work by order, decree or otherwise of the United States or by any department,
bureau, commission, committee, agent, or administrator of any legally constituted public
authority; changes in the work ordered by City of San Rafael insofar as they necessarily require
additional time in which to complete the work; the prevention by City of Lessee from
commencing or prosecuting the work because of the acts of others, excepting Lessee's
contractors and subcontractors; or the prevention of Lessee from commencing or prosecuting
the work because of a citywide failure of public utility service. Lessor may grant an extension of
time for unavoidable delay as a result of inclement weather.
The term "beyond the reasonable control of Lessee" shall specifically not include: (i) any
delay which could have been avoided by the exercise of care, prudence, foresight and diligence;
and (ii) any delay in the prosecution of parts of the work, which may in itself be unavoidable but
which does not necessarily prevent or delay the prosecution of other parts of the work, nor the
completion of the whole work within the time specified.
(d) Notwithstanding the above and the Schedule of Performance set forth in
Exhibit E, so long as (i) Lessee is diligently prosecuting the work and (ii) any Leasehold
Mortgagee has, agreed to extend performance dates under its Leasehold Mortgage Documents
so as not to cause a default thereunder, Lessor's consent to extend the performance dates set
forth in Exhibit E shall not be unreasonably withheld.
(e) Prior to the commencement of construction of the Lessee Improvements, Lessee
shall, at its own cost and expense, furnish to Lessor as obligee or co -obligee, either (i) a faithful
performance bond of a surety company licensed to transact business in the State of California
and satisfactory to Lessor with Lessee's contractor or contractors as principal, in a sum not less
than one hundred percent (100%) of the estimated cost of construction, and a labor and
materials bond of a surety company licensed to transact business in the State of California and
satisfactory to the Lessor with Lessee's contractor or contractors as principal in a sum not less
than 50% of the total estimated cost of the construction contract or contracts for the Lessee
Improvements, guaranteeing respectively, faithful performance and the payment for all materials,
10
08678.1
OAK #4812-6430-1550 v18
provisions, provender, supplies and equipment used in, upon, for or about the performance of
said construction work or labor done thereon of any kind whatsoever, or (ii) other instrument of
security or completion assurance agreement or payment assurance agreement acceptable to
the Leasehold Mortgagees and approved by the Lessor to guarantee completion of such
construction and payment of all such items. In the event that Lessee obtains from its contractor
or contractors such bonds, security or assurance agreements in like amount which is
satisfactory to Lessor, Lessor, upon application by Lessee and upon naming Lessor an
additional obligee of Lessee's principal and surety under such bonds or agreements, will release
Lessee from Lessee's obligation to provide its bonds, agreements or instruments of security
pursuant to this Section 3.1(e).
Section 3.2 Alterations.
(a) Following completion of the Lessee Improvements, Lessee shall, subject to the
Leasehold Mortgage Documents, have the right to further alter, modify or rehabilitate the
Improvements (together, "Alterations") as Lessee shall deem desirable; provided that for any
Material Alterations, Lessor's prior written consent shall first have been obtained, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld. "Material Alterations" means (a) the construction of any
new additional building or structure, (b) an increase in the height of the Improvements, (c)
demolition or removal of all or any substantial part of the Improvements; (d) change in the
number of Dwelling Units or total square footages of the Dwelling Units; (e) any material
alteration of exterior architectural designs, colors or materials (unless the applicable exterior
component is not reasonably available or does not meet current code requirements, and Lessee
uses materials of equal quality, durability, design standards, and appearance to the materials
originally installed), or (f) reconstruction following fire or other casualty in excess of $1,000,000
(subject to adjustment pursuant to the CPI from and after the Commencement Date. Lessee
shall also obtain building permits for all Alterations to the extent required by City of San Rafael
codes and other customary requirements.
(b) Fee simple title to all of the Improvements (including without limitation the Lessee
Improvements) shall be in and remain in Lessee for and during the entire Term of the Ground
Lease and Lessee alone shall be entitled to all of the tax attributes of ownership, including,
without limitation, the right to claim depreciation or cost recovery deductions, the right to
amortize capital costs, the right to claim any tax credits for federal or state tax purposes relating
to the Improvements and any other federal or state tax benefits attributable to the
Improvements. At the expiration of the Ground Lease Term, or upon the sooner termination of
this Ground Lease (unless a New Lease is executed), title to the Improvements shall vest in
Lessor, free and clear of all claims to or against them by Lessee or any third person, except
those existing and created pursuant to the terms of this Ground Lease or those remaining on
title with the consent or at the request of the Lessor. Lessee agrees to execute at the time of
such expiration or termination a quitclaim deed for the Improvements to Lessor to be recorded
at Lessor's option and at Lessor's sole cost and expense. Lessee shall defend, indemnify and
hold Lessor harmless against any and all claims, liability and losses arising from such claims or
from Lessor's exercise of the right conferred by this Section 3.2(b).
(c) Lessor shall have the right at all reasonable times to post, and keep posted, on
the Land and Improvements any notices which Lessor may reasonably deem necessary for the
protection of Lessor and of the Land from mechanics' liens or other claims. Lessee shall give
Lessor ten days' prior written notice of the commencement of the Lessee Improvements and
any Alterations that could give rise to mechanics' liens to be done on or about the Land or
Improvements to enable Lessor to post such notice. ,
11
08678.1
OAK #4812-6430-1550 v18
(d) Lessee agrees that the Improvements and any maintenance, repair work,
Alterations, replacements and/or additions in connection therewith (including without limitation
the Lessee Improvements) shall be of good quality. Lessee shall have no authority to place any
lien or any encumbrances upon the fee title to the Land, or in any manner to bind the interest of
Lessor in the Land or, except as provided elsewhere in this Ground Lease, to assign the rentals
payable to Lessor under this Ground Lease for any claim in favor of any person dealing with
Lessee. Lessee covenants and agrees promptly to pay all sums legally due and payable by
Lessee on account of any labor performed or materials supplied for which a lien can legally be
asserted against Lessee's leasehold interest in the Land or Lessee's fee title to the
Improvements thereon. In the event any mechanic or materialmen's lien is filed against the
Land, Lessee at its expense, shall promptly cause such lien to be removed by bonding or
otherwise. If Lessee disputes liens or claims of materialmen, mechanics or laborers, upon the
Land or the Improvements, regardless of whether such amounts are payable by Lessor or
Lessee, Lessee may contest and defend against the same at its cost, and in good faith diligently
conduct any necessary proceedings in connection therewith to prevent and avoid the same;
provided, however, that such contest shall be prosecuted to a final conclusion as speedily as
possible. During any such contest, Lessee shall (by the payment of such disputed charges, if
necessary) prevent any foreclosure of, or any divesting thereby of Lessor's title, reversion or
other interest in or to the Land.
Section 3.3 Permits Licenses and Easements.
Lessor (as the lessor hereunder and not as a government authority having jurisdiction
over the Development) agrees that, within ten days after receipt of written request from Lessee,
it will (at no expense to Lessor) join in all applications for permits, licenses or other
authorizations required by any governmental or other body claiming jurisdiction in connection
with any work which Lessee may perform in connection with the Development, and will also join
in any grants of easements for public or private utilities useful, desirable or necessary to the
proper economic development of the Land or to the improvements to be constructed thereon, if
required to do so by such governmental or other bodies (including without limitation utility
companies). Nothing herein will limit the City's rights in a Proprietary Capacity or Governmental
Capacity in accordance with Section 3.10.
Section 3.4 Use of Development.
Lessee shall cause the Development to be used solely for purposes specified in
Section 2.4(a), consistent with all applicable zoning and environmental laws of any
governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Development. Lessee agrees to comply
reasonably, promptly and effectively with all applicable and lawful statutes, rules, orders,
ordinances, requirements and regulations of the State of California, the Federal Government,
the City and any other governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Development.
Lessee shall have the right, if in good faith and on reasonable grounds, to dispute the validity of
any charge, complaint or action taken pursuant to or under color of any statute, rule, order,
ordinance, requirement or regulation, defend against the same, and in good faith diligently
conduct any necessary proceedings to prevent and avoid any adverse consequence of the
same. Lessee agrees that any such contest shall be prosecuted to a final conclusion as
speedily as possible. Except to the extent City is acting in a Governmental Capacity in
accordance with Section 3.10, Lessor agrees upon request by Lessee to sign, promptly and
without charge therefor to Lessee, all applications for licenses and permits required by Lessee
for the lawful conduct and operation of any business on the Land or in the Improvements,
including, without limitation, applications for occupancy permits, provided that the cost of
12
08678.1
OAK #4812-6430-1550 v18
obtaining such licenses and permits shall be borne by Lessee, and to the extent such
participation by the Lessor is required by the body receiving such application.
Section 3.5 Maintenance of the Improvements and the Land.
During the Term of this Ground Lease, Lessee or its designee shall perform, or cause to
be performed, all maintenance and repairs necessary to maintain the Improvements and Land
in good repair and tenantable condition, except for ordinary wear and tear, and in full
compliance with all Leasehold Mortgage Documents.
Section 3.6 Utilities.
Lessee shall be responsible for the cost of all utilities, including water, heat, gas,
electricity, waste removal or other utilities or services supplied to the Development, and Lessee
will pay or cause same to be paid currently and as due. Lessor without limitation of the
foregoing acknowledges that Lessee may require each Resident to pay for utility charges for
each Resident's Dwelling Unit.
Section 3.7 Condition of Land.
Lessor has knowledge that prior to the Original Ground Lease certain petroleum
hydrocarbons had come to be located on or beneath the Land from an underground fuel tank.
The fuel tank and contaminated soil surrounding the area of the tank were removed before the
Original Ground Lease; however, some petroleum hydrocarbons or dirt contaminated with such
materials or substances may have remained on the Land thereafter. Lessee has knowledge of
the facts in the preceding sentence and agrees to lease the Land in an "as is" condition, with no
warranty, express or implied, by the Lessor as to the condition of the soil, its geology, the
presence of known or unknown faults or the former presence of petroleum hydrocarbons. It
shall be the sole responsibility of the Lessee at its expense to investigate and determine the soil
conditions for the Lessee Improvements to be constructed thereon and for the Improvements to
be leased, owned and operated thereon, including the presence of potentially toxic materials or
soils.
If the soil conditions are not in all respects entirely suitable for the use or uses to which
the Land is currently being put and will be put under this Lease, it is the sole responsibility and
obligation of Lessee, at its sole cost, to take such action as may be necessary to place the soil
conditions of the Land in a condition entirely suitable for the Lessee's purposes under this
Lease, subject to all other provisions contained in this Ground Lease, including Section 10.20.
Section 3.8 "As -Is. Where -IS" Existing Improvements.
Lessor makes no warranty, express or implied, regarding the condition of the Land or
any physical improvements to the Land existing as of the Commencement Date, including
without limitation the existing Improvements. Lessee had inspected the Land and all
improvements and acknowledges that it is leasing the Land and, as between Lessor and
Lessee, is acquiring fee title to the improvements thereon existing as of the Commencement
Date in an "as is" condition.
13

OAK #4812-6430-1550 08
Section 3.9 Management.
Lessee shall direct and supervise the operation and management of the Development
and shall, at all times during the term of this Ground Lease, maintain or employ a professionally
trained staff to manage the Development. Lessor hereby consents to management of the
Development by Bridge Property Management Company or Ecumenical Association for
Housing; provided, however, that Lessor may require Lessee to remove any manager of the
Development within 120 days of notice from Lessor if Lessor determines there is good and
sufficient cause for such removal, and provided, further, that Lessor provides Lessee with the
opportunity to contest Lessor's reasons for the removal of the management agent. Lessee shall
not contract with another person to manage the Development without Lessor's consent, which
shall not be unreasonably withheld.
Section 3.10 Proprietary and Governmental Roles: Actions by City.
Except where clearly and expressly provided otherwise in this Ground Lease, the
capacity of the Lessor in this Ground Lease shall be as owner and lessor of property only
("Proprietary Capacity"), and any obligations or restrictions imposed by this Ground Lease on
Lessor shall be limited to that capacity and shall not relate to, constitute a waiver of, supersede
or otherwise limit or affect its governmental capacities, including enacting laws, inspecting
structures, reviewing and issuing permits, and all of the other legislative and administrative or
enforcement functions pursuant to federal, state or local law ("Governmental Capacity").
When acting in its Proprietary Capacity, discretionary actions may be undertaken by the City
Manager or other designees as designated by the City Manager to the extent otherwise
provided for in this Ground Lease. In addition, nothing in this Ground Lease shall supersede or
waive any discretionary or regulatory approvals required to be obtained from Lessor under
applicable Law, nor guarantee that Lessor, in its Governmental Capacity, will grant any
particular request for a license, permit or other regulatory approval. Lessee understands that
Lessor may grant or deny such request in its sole discretion, and may impose such terms and
conditions as it deems consistent with that discretion and applicable Laws.
Section 3.11 City Manager Authority and Limitations.
Any amendment to this Ground Lease which affects or relates to: (1) the Term of this
Ground Lease; (2) the permitted use of the Land; (3) rent amounts and other monetary
payments by Lessor; or (iv) any other material provision of this Ground Lease, shall require
approval by the Lessor's City Council. Subject to the foregoing, the City Manager may also
issue without City Council approval any consent or approval which Lessor is entitled to provide
under this Ground Lease, including without limitation: (1) approvals of Material Alterations under
Section 3.2; and (11) rules for a CASp inspection under Section 10.7.

Mortgage Documents.
ARTICLE 4
LEASEHOLD MORTGAGES
Section 4.1 Mortgage of Leasehold and Improvements.
Lessee shall have the right to encumber the Development (i.e., the Improvements and
the leasehold estate created by this Ground Lease) by whatever security instruments are used
in the locale of the Land, including without limitation deeds of trust, security deeds, assignments
of rents, issues and profits, and conditional deeds, as well as financing statements, security
agreements and documentation required pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code (each, a
"Leasehold Mortgage") to secure repayment of any loan and associated obligations of Lessee
in connection with the acquisition, construction, rehabilitation or refinancing of the Development.
The term "Leasehold Mortgage" shall also include any instruments required in connection with a
sale leaseback transaction.
Section 4.2 Notice to and Rights of Leasehold Mortgagees and Investor(s).
(a) During the continuance of any Leasehold Mortgage and until such time as the
lien of any such Leasehold Mortgage has been extinguished, the Leasehold Mortgagees shall
have all rights provided in this Article 4. Lessor shall not accept any cancellation or surrender of
this Ground Lease, Lessee shall not make any election or waiver to terminate, cancel or
surrender this Ground Lease, nor shall Lessor or Lessee consent to any amendment or
modification of this Ground Lease without, in each instance, the prior written consent of all
Leasehold Mortgagees and the Investor. Without limiting the foregoing, no election by Lessee
to terminate this Ground Lease shall be effective unless the same is contained in a written
instrument signed by Lessee, each Leasehold Mortgagee and the Investor.
(b) When giving any notice to Lessee with respect to this Ground Lease or any
provision hereunder, Lessor shall also give a concurrent copy of each such notice to any
Leasehold Mortgagee and Investor who shall have given Lessor a written notice requesting
such notice and specifying its name and address. No notice by Lessor to Lessee shall be
deemed to have been given unless, and until, a copy thereof shall have been delivered to each
Leasehold Mortgagee and Investor as set forth herein. The names and addresses of the initial
Leasehold Mortgagees and Investor are set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto, and this shall
constitute such Leasehold Mortgagees' and Investor's request for copies of all notices at such
addresses pursuant to this Section 4.2(b). All notices by Lessor to Leasehold Mortgagees and
Investor shall be given by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or reputable
courier service with confirmation, addressed to the Leasehold Mortgagees or Investor, as
applicable, at the address last specified to Lessor by the Leasehold Mortgagees and shall be
effective upon receipt by such recipient(s) (or refusal to accept delivery by such recipient(s)).
(c) In the event Lessee shall default in the performance of any of the terms,
covenants, agreements or conditions of this Ground Lease on Lessee's part to be performed,
any Leasehold Mortgagee shall have the right, but not the obligation, within the grace period
available to Lessee for curing such default and such additional period permitted under Section
4.2(d), to cure such default, whether the same consists of the failure to pay rent, to effect any
15
08678.1
OAK #4812-6430-1550 v18
insurance, to pay any taxes or assessments, to make any repairs or improvements, to do any
other act or thing required of Lessee under the Lease, and to do any act or thing which may be
necessary and proper to be done in the performance and observance of the agreements,
covenants and conditions to prevent termination of the Lease, and the Lessor shall accept any
such performance by any Leasehold Mortgagee as though the same had been done or
performed by Lessee. Any Leasehold Mortgagee and its agents and contractors shall have full
access to the Land and Improvements for purposes of accomplishing any of the foregoing.
(d) In case of a default by Lessee in the payment of money or the performance of
any other obligation due under this Ground Lease, Lessor will take no action to effect a
termination of this Ground Lease by reason thereof unless, following the expiration of the grace
periods (if any) otherwise granted to Lessee hereunder, including, without limitation, under
Section 9.1, such default has continued beyond 60 days in the case of any default resulting from
Lessee's failure to pay money due to Lessor (a "Monetary Default"), and beyond 180 days, in
the case of any other default by Lessee hereunder (a "Non -Monetary Default"), after Lessor
has given written notice to each Leasehold Mortgagee and Investor of such Monetary Default or
Non -Monetary Default, as applicable and Lessor's its intent to terminate the Ground Lease as a
result of such default, it being the intent hereof and the understanding of the parties that any
Leasehold Mortgagee and Investor shall be allowed up to, but not in excess of 60 days in the
case of a Monetary Default, and 180 days in the case of a Non -Monetary Default by Lessee, to
cure such default, in addition to the cure and grace periods (if any) otherwise granted to Lessee
under this Ground Lease, including without limitation Section 9.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing
or anything else to the contrary contained herein, in the case of any Non -Monetary Default,
Lessor shall take no action to effect a termination of this Ground Lease by reason thereof if,
within 180 days after the Leasehold Mortgagees and Investor receive written notice thereof, as
provided for in this Section 4.2(d), a Leasehold Mortgagee or Investor has either:
(i) commenced to cure such default and to proceed diligently with such cure
thereafter, if such default can -be cured by the Leasehold Mortgagee without the Leasehold
Mortgagee obtaining possession of the Development;
(ii) commenced proceedings to obtain possession of the Development
(including possession by a receiver) and proceeded diligently to obtain such possession and to
cure such default in the case of default which can be cured only after the Leasehold Mortgagee
has obtained possession thereof; or
(iii) instituted foreclosure proceedings (either judicial or non -judicial) and
thereafter to diligently proceed to complete such foreclosure proceedings (either judicial or non -
judicial) or otherwise acquire Lessee's interest under this Ground Lease with reasonable and
continuous diligence in the case of a default which cannot be cured in the manner set forth in
subparagraphs (i) or (ii) above. As long as any Leasehold Mortgagee is diligently proceeding to
complete foreclosure, the Lessor shall not terminate the Ground Lease. No Leasehold
Mortgagee shall be required to continue such possession or continue such foreclosure
proceedings (either judicial or non -judicial) if the default which prompted the service of such a
notice has been cured. No Leasehold Mortgagee shall be obligated to cure any Monetary
Default which has occurred more than 90 days before such Leasehold Mortgagee's receipt of
notice of such default, in order to preserve its interest under its Leasehold Mortgage Documents
or to exercise any of the rights granted to it under this Ground Lease. Nothing herein shall
require a Leasehold Mortgagee who has acquired Lessee's leasehold interest and has taken
possession of the Development to cure any Non -Monetary Default which is not reasonably
capable of being cured by such,Leasehold Mortgagee, and such default shall be deemed to be
16
08678.1
OAK #4812-6430-1550 08
waived following Leasehold Mortgagee's acquisition of Lessee's leasehold interest and such
Leasehold Mortgagee's timely cure of all Monetary Defaults and all Non -Monetary Defaults
which are reasonably capable of cure by such Leasehold Mortgagee in accordance with the
foregoing provision.
(e) All right of Lessor to terminate the Lease as the result of the occurrence of any
default shall be subject to, and conditioned upon, Lessor having first given to each Leasehold
Mortgagee and Investor written notice of the default as required under Section 4.2(b), and each
Leasehold Mortgagee and Investor having failed to remedy such default or acquire the
Leasehold or commence foreclosure or other appropriate proceedings in the nature thereof as
set forth in Section 4.2(d).
(f) If a Leasehold Mortgagee is prohibited by any process or injunction issued by
any court or by reason of any action by any court having jurisdiction of any bankruptcy or
insolvency proceeding involving Lessee from commencing or prosecuting foreclosure or other
appropriate proceedings, the times specified in this Section 4.2 for commencing or prosecuting
such foreclosure or other proceedings shall be extended for the period of such prohibition,
provided that Leasehold Mortgagee shall have fully cured any default in the payment of any
monetary obligations of Lessee under this Ground Lease and shall continue to pay currently
such monetary obligations as and when the same fall due.
(g) Lessor agrees that, in the event of termination of the Lease for any reason
(including without limitation by reason of any default by Lessee or by reason of the
disaffirmance thereof by a receiver, liquidator or trustee for Lessee or its property):
(i) Lessor shall (1) promptly give each Leasehold Mortgagee and Investor
written notice of such termination and (2) if requested by any Leasehold Mortgagee, enter into a
new lease of the Land ("New Lease") with the most senior Leasehold Mortgagee requesting a
New Lease, which New Lease shall commence as of the date of termination of this Ground
Lease and shall run for the remainder of the Ground Lease Term, at the same Rent and
additional rent and upon the same terms, provisions, covenants and agreements, and subject to
the rights, if any, of any parties then in possession of any part of the leasehold estate, provided:
(1) The Leasehold Mortgagee shall make written request upon Lessor
for the New Lease not later than 60 days after the date such Leasehold Mortgagee receives
written notice of the termination from Lessor;
(2) The Leasehold Mortgagee shall pay to Lessor at the time of the
execution and delivery of the New Lease any and all sums which would, at the time of the
execution and delivery thereof, be due and unpaid pursuant to the Ground Lease but for its
termination, and in addition thereto any expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, to
which Lessor shall have been subjected by reason of Lessee's default;
(3) The Leasehold Mortgagee shall perform and observe all
covenants in this Ground Lease to be performed and observed by Lessee, and shall further
remedy any other conditions which Lessee under the terminated Ground Lease was obligated to
perform under its terms, to the extent the same are curable or may be performed by the
Leasehold Mortgagee; and
(ii) The lessee under the New Lease shall have the same right, title and
interest in and to the Improvements as Lessee had under the terminated Ground Lease
17
08678.1
OAK #4812-6430-1550 v18
immediately prior to its termination, and such New Lease shall be senior in priority to all
mortgages, deeds of trust, or other lien or charge or encumbrance on the Land. The New
Lease shall be accompanied by a conveyance of title to the Improvements (free of any
mortgage, deed of trust, lien, charge, or encumbrance created by Lessor) for a term of years
equal to the term of the New Lease, subject to the reversion in favor of Lessor upon expiration
or sooner termination of the New Lease.
(h) Nothing herein contained shall require any Leasehold Mortgagee to enter into a
New Lease pursuant to Section 4.2(g), nor to cure any default of Lessee referred to above.
(i) Except as provided in Section 4.20), during the period that a Leasehold

INSURANCE
Section 5.1 Required Insurance Coverage.
(a) Fire and Special Coverage Endorsement. Lessee shall during the Term of this
Ground Lease keep the Development insured against loss or damage by fire, and all other risks
as may be included in the standard form of extended coverage endorsement (including flood if

that the proceeds of such insurance shall not be less than the full replacement value of the
buildings and Improvements or any other amount required by the Leasehold Mortgagees and
approved by Lessor which is reasonably and commercially available.
(b) Liability and Property Damage Insurance. During the Term of the Ground Lease,
Lessee shall keep in full force and effect a policy or policies of commercial general liability and

combined single limit for injury to persons or death for any one occurrence, and not less than
five million dollars ($5,000,000) for property damage to others' property. (Notwithstanding the
19
08678.1
OAK #4812-6430-1550 08
foregoing, compliance with the first lien position Leasehold Mortgagee's lability and property
damage insurance shall be deemed compliance with this section.).
(c) Workers' Compensation Insurance. Lessee shall carry workers' compensation
insurance covering all persons employed by Lessee as required by law.
(d) Builders Risk Insurance. Lessee shall obtain or require its contractor(s) to obtain
builder's risk insurance, at Lessee or contractor's own cost and expense, at all times during the
rehabilitation of the Improvements and until Lessee has filed with the Lessor a certificate of fire,
liability and property damage insurance on the completed Improvements, and shall provide to
Lessor prior to commencement of construction a certificate evidencing the same. Lessee shall
request its contractor's insurance carrier to provide a certificate which shall state that the

use of the improvements unless and until (1) Lessor is given at least 30 days prior written notice
of cancellation after completion of construction or (2) there is on file with Lessor with respect to
the Improvements the certificate required evidencing liability and property damage insurance
coverage.
(e) Review. The liability and property damage insurance requirements may be
reviewed by Lessor every five years, for the purpose of (in consultation with its insurance
advisors) adjusting the specific policy requirements, and minimum limits of such insurance from
time to time, to requirements and minimum limits which shall be reasonable and customary for
similar facilities of like size and operation in accordance with generally accepted insurance
industry standards. However, in no event will Lessee be required to change specific policy

and special or extended coverage (casualty) and builders' risk insurance proceeds shall be
applied, subject to the rights of the most senior Leasehold Mortgagee, to the payment of the
costs of repairing or rebuilding that part of the Development damaged or destroyed if Lessee
20
08678 1
OAK #4812-6430-1550 v18
agrees in writing within 90 days after payment of the proceeds of insurance that such repair or
rebuilding is economically feasible. If the Development is not repaired or replaced, all such
proceeds shall be applied in a manner consistent with the terms of the most senior Leasehold
Mortgage Documents. The balance, if any, after payment to the most senior Leasehold
Mortgagee, shall, subject to the rights of the other Leasehold Mortgagees, be paid to Lessee
and, subject to the prior written consent of each Leasehold Mortgagee and Investor, Lessee
may terminate this Ground Lease, in which case this Ground Lease shall become void from the
time of termination, and from that date the parties hereto shall be released from further
obligation hereunder.
(b) In the event all Leasehold Mortgages have been paid in full, all insurance
proceeds received under the policies set forth in this Article 5 shall be applied to the payment of
the costs of repairing or rebuilding that part of the Development damaged or destroyed, if
Lessee agrees in writing within 90 days after the payment of the proceeds of insurance that
such repair or rebuilding is economically feasible. If Lessee decides that such repair or
replacement is not economically feasible, the proceeds shall be paid to Lessee and this Ground
Lease shall terminate, and shall become void from the time the decision is made by Lessee to
rebuild, and from that date the parties hereto shall be released from further obligation
hereunder.
(c) Upon the occurrence of any loss, damage or destruction to the Improvements or
operations of the Development resulting from such damage or destruction, Lessee's obligation

following:
(i) If only a portion of the Improvements is damaged or destroyed, the rent
(other than Monitoring Fee) shall be abated or reduced by the percentage of the amount of
damage or destruction to the Improvements until the Improvements are repaired or rebuilt and
approved for occupancy by the City.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event may

(a) Indemnification of Lessor. To the greatest extent permitted by Law (including
without limitation Civil Code Section 2782 if and to the extent applicable), Lessee shall
indemnify and hold Lessor harmless from and shall defend (including payment of attorney's
fees) Lessor against all liability, penalties, losses, damages, costs and expenses including
attorney's fees, claims or judgment arising from any injury to any person or persons or any
damage to any property occurring in, on or about the Development and/or the Land, or as a
result of any accident or other occurrence during the Term, occasioned in any way as a result of
Lessee's or Lessee's officers', employee', agents', servants', concessionaires', licensees',
contractors' or invitees' use, maintenance, occupation or operation of the Development and/or
the Land; provided, however, that Lessee shall not be required to indemnify Lessor for any
damage or injury of any kind arising as the result of Lessor's negligent act or omission or
misconduct or that of its officers, agents, employees or contractors. Notwithstanding the
foregoing or anything else to the contrary contained herein, but without limiting Lessor's rights
under any insurance maintained by Lessee, no Leasehold Mortgagee or subsequent lessee
21
08678 1
OAK #4812-6430-1550 v18
shall be required to indemnify Lessor for any act or omission of the prior lessee under this
Ground Lease (or to cure any failure of any such prior lessee to indemnify the Lessor).
(b) Indemnification of Lessee. Lessor shall indemnify and hold Lessee harmless
from and shall defend (including payment of attorneys' fees) Lessee against all liability,
penalties, losses, damages, costs and expenses including attorneys' fees, claims or judgment
arising from any injury to any person or persons or any damage to any property occurring in, on
or about the Development and/or the Land, or as a result of any accident or other occurrence
during the Term occasioned in any way as a result of Lessor's or Lessor's officers', employees',
agents', servants', concessionaires', licensees', contractors' or invitees' use, maintenance,
occupation or operation of the Development and/or the Land; provided, however, that Lessor

other Leasehold Mortgagees, to be paid to Lessee;

damage to the Development resulting from such taking, and Lessee agrees in writing within 90
days after payment of the condemnation award that continuation of the operation of the
Development and reconstruction or restoration of all or any part of the Development taken or
damaged is economically feasible, then the net condemnation award shall be applied, subject to

shall be released from further obligation hereunder.
(e) Lessor shall be entitled to all condemnation proceeds for the taking of the Land in

limited to the fee interest in the Land, as encumbered by this Ground Lease and, upon the
expiration of the Term, a reversionary interest in the Improvements.

destruction of the Development.

and Lessor.
Section 7.2 Lessee to Extend Vendor's Warranties to Lessor.
Lessee covenants that it will, to the extent available at no cost to Lessee, extend to the
Lessor all vendor's warranties received by Lessee in connection with the provision, construction

Lessor shall first give 45 days' written notice to Lessee so that Lessee may have the first right to
purchase the Land. The notice shall contain the purchase price and a complete description of
the terms on which Lessor wishes to sell or transfer the Land. Within 45 days of receipt of the
notice given by Lessor, Lessee shall in writing either accept the offer to purchase the Land on
the terms provided in the notice or reject the offer. Failure to accept the offer in writing within
the 45 -day period shall be deemed a rejection. If the terms of the sale or transfer change or if

Mortgagee and shall notify Lessor of the assignment in writing, and Lessor hereby consents to
such assignment.
(c) Notwithstanding Section 7.4(a) and Section 7.4(b), neither Lessee nor any

(A) by operation of Law, or (B) to (1) another governmental entity, (2) an entity all of whose
members are also governmental entities, or (3) a not for profit entity established and operated

Mortgagee and Investor shall have the right to approve such transferee, such approval not to be
unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, and provided further that in each such instance
any such sale or transfer shall be expressly subject to this Ground Lease, and neither Lessee's
nor any Leasehold Mortgagee or Investor's other rights arising out of this Ground Lease shall be
affected or disturbed in any way by any such sale or transfer. Each covenant, agreement or
obligation of Lessor under this Ground Lease is intended to and shall constitute a covenant
running with the title to the Land and shall be binding upon any subsequent owner of the Land.
At such time as Lessor shall sell or transfer its entire interest in the Land and this Ground
Lease, all Lessor obligations and liability arising under this Ground Lease from and after the
effective date of such sale or transfer shall terminate as to Lessor, and thereupon all such
liabilities and obligations shall be binding upon the transferee.

passage of time or the giving of notice, would constitute a default) set off, defense or other claim
against Lessor or Lessee, as applicable, other than those, if any, so specified in the estoppel.
It is intended that any such statement may be relied upon by any persons proposing to acquire
the interest of Lessor, Lessee or any Leasehold Mortgagee or Investor, as the case may be, in
this Ground Lease or by any prospective Leasehold Mortgagee or Investor or permitted
assignee of any Leasehold Mortgage or Investor.

financial institution in the State of California, or at the maximum amount allowed under
applicable law, if less), from the Lessor within 30 days after sending to Lessor a statement
therefor, (ii) any rights or remedies granted to Lessee and/or the Leasehold Mortgagees under
the Leasehold Mortgage Documents or the laws of the State of California. Lessee and
Leasehold Mortgagees shall have the right to offset expenses incurred by Lessee or the
Leasehold Mortgagees to cure such default against Rent due under Section 2.3.

(2) affect the Term, rent or any amount otherwise payable to Lessor under this Ground Lease,
or (3) otherwise in any material respect adversely affect any rights of Lessor under this Ground

Section 10.6 Recording of Memorandum.
The Lessor shall record the Memorandum of Ground Lease, substantially in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit F ("Memorandum"), in Official Records.
Section 10.7 Accessibility; Disability Laws.
(a) Neither the Land nor the Improvements have undergone an inspection by a
Certified Access Specialist (CASp).
(b) "A Certified Access Specialist (CASp) can inspect the subject premises and
determine whether the subject premises comply with all of the applicable construction -related
accessibility standards under state law. Although state law does not require a CASp inspection
of the subject premises, the commercial property owner or lessor may not prohibit the lessee or
tenant from obtaining a CASp inspection of the subject premises for the occupancy or potential
occupancy of the lessee or tenant, if requested by the lessee or tenant. The parties shall
mutually agree on the arrangements for the time and manner of the CASp inspection, the
payment of the fee for the CASp inspection, and the cost of making any repairs necessary to
correct violations of construction -related accessibility standards within the premises."
(c) Since compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA") and other
federal and state disability laws ("Disability Laws") is dependent upon Lessee's specific use of
the Land, Lessor makes no warranty or representation as to whether or not the Land complies
with ADA or Disability Laws. In the event that Lessee's use of the Land requires modifications
or additions to the Improvements in order to be in compliance with the ADA or Disability Laws,
Lessee agrees to make any such necessary modifications and/or additions at Lessee's sole
cost and expense.
Section 10.8 Non -Waiver of Breach.
Neither the failure of the Lessor or Lessee to insist upon strict performance of any of the
covenants and agreements of this Ground Lease nor the failure by the Lessor or Lessee to
exercise any rights or remedies upon default while the Lessor or Lessee is in default hereunder
shall be deemed a waiver or relinquishment (1) of any covenant herein contained or of any of
the rights or remedies of the Lessor or Lessee hereunder, (2) of the right in the future of the
Lessor or Lessee to insist upon and to enforce by mandamus or other appropriate legal remedy
a strict compliance with all of the covenants and conditions hereof, or (3) the right of the Lessor
to recover possession of the Land after the expiration of applicable cure periods.
Section 10.9 Effectiveness. Counterparts.
This Ground Lease shall become effective upon the Commencement Date. This Ground
Lease may be executed in two counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which

Leasehold Mortgagee shall also apply to any Leasehold Mortgagee of any successor or assign
of Lessee.
Section 10.11 Relationship of Parties.
Nothing contained in this Ground Lease shall be deemed or construed by the parties
hereto or by any third party to create the relationship of principal and agent or of partnership or
of joint venture or of association whatsoever between Lessor and Lessee, it being expressly
understood and agreed that neither the computation of any payments and other charges
hereunder nor any other provisions contained in this Ground Lease, nor any act or acts of the
parties hereto, shall be deemed to create any relationship between Lessor and Lessee other
than the relationship of landlord and tenant.
Section 10.12 Termination: Holding Over.
This Ground Lease shall terminate without further notice upon the expiration of the Term
hereof, and any holding over by Lessee after the expiration of said Term shall not constitute a
renewal hereof or give Lessee any rights hereunder or in or to the Land, except as otherwise
herein provided, it being understood and agreed that this Ground Lease cannot be renewed,
extended or in any manner modified except in writing signed by Lessor and Lessee (and
consented to by all Leasehold Mortgagees). Upon termination of this Ground Lease, Lessee
shall convey the Improvements to Lessor by quit claim deed.
Section 10.13 Consents; Further Acts.
Whenever in this Ground Lease the consent or approval of either Lessor or Lessee is
required or permitted, the party requested to give such consent or approval will act promptly and
will not unreasonably withhold its consent or approval unless expressly provided otherwise
herein. Each party to this Ground Lease agrees to perform any further acts and to execute and
deliver any documents that may be reasonably convenient or necessary to carry out this Ground
Lease.

Section 10.16 Days of the Week.
A "business day," as used herein, shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday
or holiday, as defined in Section 6700 of the California Government Code. If any date for
performance herein falls on a day other than a business day, the time for such performance
shall be extended to 5:00 pm on the next business day.
Section 10.17 Invalidity of Particular Provisions.
If any provision of this Ground Lease or the application thereof to any person or
circumstances shall to any extent be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Ground
Lease, or the application of such provision to person or circumstances other than those as to
which it is invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each provision of this
Ground Lease shall be valid and be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Section 10.18 Assignment.
(a) Except as provided in this Section or Article 4, Lessee shall not assign or transfer
its interest in the Development or sublease all or any part of the Development or allow any other
person or entity (except Lessee's authorized representatives) to occupy or use all or any part of
the Development without first obtaining Lessor's written consent, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld, provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall prohibit Lessee
from conducting a multi -family residential rental business on the Development, including the
renting of Dwelling Units to Residents, in accordance with the terms of this Ground Lease, nor
require Lessee to obtain Lessor's consent thereto. Lessee shall have the right to encumber its
leasehold interests in accordance with Article 4. Any assignment or transfer without Lessor's
consent shall be voidable, and, at Lessor's election, shall constitute a default. No consent to
any assignment or transfer shall constitute a waiver of this Section.
(b) If Lessee or any approved successor is a partnership, a withdrawal or change,
voluntarily, involuntarily or by operation of law, of a general partner or limited partner or the
dissolution of the partnership, or the transfer of any interest resulting from the death or
incapacity of a general partner, shall be deemed a voluntary assignment requiring Lessor's
consent; provided, however, that:
(i) a transfer of any interest among the partners or to an entity wholly owned
or controlled by the partner making the transfer, shall not be deemed a prohibited assignment or
an assignment which requires the consent of Lessor;
(ii) the removal of a general partner by the Investor pursuant to the terms of
the Partnership Agreement shall not be deemed a voluntary assignment which requires the
consent of Lessor;
(iii) Lessor consents to those purchase options and rights of first refusal in
favor of the Members or their designees pursuant to the terms of the Partnership Agreement,
and agrees that transfer of title to the Development in accordance therewith shall not constitute
a default under this Ground Lease nor require Lessor's consent, provided that Lessee gives
Lessor at least 30 days prior written notice of such transfer, accompanied by documentation
reasonably requested by Lessor and contact information for such transferee, and provided that
the transferee agrees to assume the duties and obligations of the original Lessee respecting the
Lease on the same terms as those imposed on the original Lessee; and
33
08678.1
OAK #4812-6430-1550 08
(iv) a transfer of any limited partner interest in Lessee shall not be deemed a
prohibited assignment or an assignment which requires the consent of Lessor.
(c) If Lessee or an approved successor is a corporation, any dissolution, merger,
consolidation, or other reorganization of Lessee, or the sale or transfer of more than 50% of the
capital stock of Lessee, or more than 50% of the value of the assets of Lessee, shall be deemed
a voluntary assignment requiring Lessor's consent.
(d) Anything contained in this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, a transfer by
Lessee or an approved successor hereunder of the leasehold estate or any interest therein, to
an entity wholly owned or controlled by Lessee or approved successor shall not constitute a
voluntary assignment or require the prior approval of Lessor. Nothing contained herein shall
prohibit the Lessee or require the consent of Lessor to a transfer of any interest by Lessee
resulting from a sale of stock or interest by the Lessee to the public through a recognized
exchange or over-the-counter.
(e) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, no interest of Lessee in this
Ground Lease shall be assignable by operation of law (including, without limitation, the transfer
of this Ground Lease by testacy or intestacy). Each of the following acts shall be considered an
involuntary assignment:
(i) If Lessee is or becomes bankrupt or insolvent, makes an assignment for
the benefit of creditors, or institutes a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Act in which Lessee is
the bankrupt; provided, however, that in the case of an involuntary petition for bankruptcy,
Lessee shall have 90 days to cause such petition to be withdrawn or dismissed.
(ii) If a writ of attachment or execution is levied on this Ground Lease, which
writ is not withdrawn or dismissed within 90 days.
(iii) If, in any proceeding or action to which Lessee is a party, a receiver is
appointed with authority to take possession of the premises, which appointment is not
withdrawn or dismissed within 90 days.
(f) An involuntary assignment shall constitute a default by Lessee and Lessor shall
have the right to exercise its remedies under this Ground Lease.
(g) Except as otherwise permitted herein, Lessor reserves the right to condition such
consent upon the conditions that the financial net worth and business experience of the
proposed assignee or transferee is, in the opinion of Lessor, reasonably comparable to that of
Lessee. Subject to the above condition, Lessor agrees not to unreasonably withhold its consent
to any assignment or transfer.
(h) Lessee agrees to pay Lessor for Lessor's actual and reasonable costs including
attorney's fees, incurred in conjunction with the processing and documentation of any such
requested consent, assignment, transfer of ownership of this Ground Lease or Lessee's interest
in and to the premises; provided, however, that Lessee's total obligation hereunder shall not
exceed $2,500 for each transaction, subject to adjustment by the CPI increase (if any) from and
after the Commencement Date.
(i) Each transfer or assignment to which there has been consent shall be subject to
Section 10.20 and shall be an instrumerit,in writing in form satisfactory to Lessor, and shall be
34
08678.1
OAK #4812-6430-1550 v18

the benefit of the Lessor herein to assume, to be bound by, and to perform the terms, covenants
and conditions of this Ground Lease to be done, kept and performed by Lessee, including the
payment of all amounts due or to become due under this Ground Lease directly to Lessor. One
executed copy of such written instrument shall be delivered to Lessor. Failure to first obtain in
writing Lessor's consent or failure to comply with this provision shall operate to prevent any
such transfer or assignment from becoming effective.
(j) As used in this Section 10, 18, the term "involuntary assignment" shall not include
any judicial or non -judicial proceeding against the Development by a Leasehold Mortgagee.
Section 10.19 Applicable Law.
This Ground Lease shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of
the State of California, including its statutes of limitations but without regard to its conflict of laws
principles.
Section 10.20 Requests for ARproval.
Whenever Lessor or Lessee is required to obtain prior written consent on any matter
from the other party, and no specific time for response is set by terms of this Ground Lease,
then after notice has been duly given as required by this Ground Lease and no response has
been given to the other party for ten business days after receipt of such notice, and three
business days after further notice specifically identified in all BOLD ALL CAPITAL LETTERS
as a "SECOND NOTICE" and specifically stating "FAILURE TO RESPOND BY [INSERT
SPECIFIC THREE BUSINESS DAYS RESPONSE DEADLINE] WILL BE DEEMED
APPROVAL OF THE MATTERS CONTAINED IN THE ORIGINAL NOTICE DATED [INSERT
ORIGINAL NOTICE DATE]," then written consent shall be deemed to have been given by the
party failing to respond.
Section 10.21 Non -Recourse and Non -Liability.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Ground Lease, Lessee, its partners
and their respective successors and assigns, shall not have any personal liability under this
Ground Lease. In the event of any default by Lessee, Lessor's remedy shall be limited to its
right to terminate this Ground Lease and recover the Development as provided herein. Lessor
may seek appropriate interim remedies not inconsistent herewith, but, in no event, shall Lessor
assert any claim or have any right to seek or obtain any judgment against Lessee or any
partners of Lessee for rent, damages or any other obligations, or exercise any offset against any
assets of Lessee held by Lessor or funds owed by Lessor to Lessee or any of its partners.
(b) Similarly, no member, official or employee of Lessor shall be personally liable to
Lessee, or any successor in interest, in the event of any default or breach by Lessor or for any
amount which may become due to Lessee or its successors, or on any obligations under the
terms of this Ground Lease. Lessee hereby waives and releases any claim it may have against
the members, officials or employees of Lessor with respect to any default or breach by Lessor
or for any amount which may become due to Lessee or its successors, or on any obligations
under the terms of this Ground Lease.

assigns holds the Trust Deed and Regulatory Agreement encumbering the
Leasehold, no termination of the Lease by Lessee, and no subordination, cancellation,
surrender, amendment or modification of the Lease (other than upon expiration of the
99 -year Lease term) shall be effective without the prior written consent of the
Department, which consent shall be in the Department's sole and absolute discretion,
and may be conditioned upon the satisfaction of such terms and conditions as the
Department may prescribe. Any attempt by Lessee to take such action shall be void
without the Department's prior written consent.
b. Landlord agrees, except for the matters in the Report agreed to by the
Department, that it shall not transfer, convey, sell, hypothecate, assign, encumber or
permit any liens against its interest, or any portion thereof, in the Property or the
Development without the prior written approval of the Department, which consent shall
be in the Department's sole and absolute discretion, and may be conditioned upon
the satisfaction of such terms and conditions as the Department may prescribe. If the
Department approves any such transfer, conveyance, sale, hypothecation,
assignment or other encumbrance of its interest, or any portion thereof, in the Property
or the Development, Landlord will (subject to the rights of any permitted senior
mortgage holder) require that any purchaser, assignee or transferee expressly
assume all of the obligations of Landlord under the Lease and this Agreement by a
written instrument recordable in the Official Records.
c. Bankruptcy. Neither the Landlord nor the Lessee, in the event of bankruptcy by
either, will take the benefit of any provisions in the United States Bankruptcy Code
that would cause the termination of the Lease or otherwise render it unenforceable in
accordance with its terms.
d. No Merger. There shall be no merger of the Lease or any interest in the Lease,
nor of the Leasehold, with the fee estate in the Property if the Lease or such interest
therein, or such Leasehold estate may be directly or indirectly held by or for the
account of any person who shall hold the fee estate in the Property, or any interest
in such fee estate, nor shall there be such a merger by reason of the fact that all or
any part of the Leasehold estate created thereby may be conveyed or mortgaged in
a leasehold mortgage, deed of trust, or other security instrument to a leasehold
mortgagee that shall hold the fee estate in the Development or any interest of the
Landlord under the Lease.

5. Consent to Assignment, Payment of Rent.
a. Landlord hereby consents to and approves the following to the extent such
consents or approvals are required under the Lease:
(1) Lessee's encumbering the Lease, the Leasehold and the Development by
the Trust Deed and the Regulatory Agreement; possession of the Property and
any Development thereon by the Department or by a receiver under the Trust
Deed or the Regulatory Agreement; and sale of the Leasehold and the
Development by foreclosure under the Trust Deed or transfer by deed in lieu of
foreclosure;
(2) Assignments to the Department or its designee of any subleases and any
and all rents from such subleases; and
(3) Sale or assignment of all or any part of any interest in the Leasehold to any
purchaser at a foreclosure sale under the Trust Deed or to any transferee of a
deed in lieu of foreclosure (such purchaser or transferee, including the
Department, is collectively referred to as the 'Transferee"), and to subsequent
transfers without restriction other than any matter identified in the Report as being
senior to the Trust Deed (all such assignments, transfers, and subsequent
transfers referred to in this Agreement as the "Transfer"). Any such Transferee,
upon the Transfer of all its interest in the Development and the Leasehold, shall
be relieved of all liability under the Lease accruing after date of such Transfer.
b. Nothing in this Agreement, in the Trust Deed or in the Lease shall impose on the
Department the obligations of Lessee under the Lease or require the Department to
assume the Lease unless the Department forecloses on the Leasehold under the
Trust Deed or accepts an assignment or deed in lieu of foreclose.
6. Notice of Defaults; Termination Notice.
a. Notice and Cure. Landlord shall provide simultaneously to the Department a
written copy of all notices and demands, including, without limitation, notices of
default or breach which Landlord has given, delivered or sent to Lessee under the
Lease. No notice or demand under the Lease shall be effective unless and until a
copy of such notice is provided to the Department as provided herein. Any notice of
default under the Lease or this Agreement shall describe the default(s) with
reasonable detail. The Department shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure
any breach or default within the time period given in the Lease; provided that, if such
notice to the Department is not given or is delayed for any reason, the period of time
within which the Department may cure any such breach or default shall commence
upon receipt by the Department of such notice. Landlord and Lessee authorize the
Department to enter the Development for the purpose of preventing defaults or

exercising its right to cure and any other powers given the Department under the
Trust Deed, this Agreement or the Lease.
b. (i) Termination Notice. After the expiration of the grace period given Lessee
under the Lease to cure the default, Landlord shall not terminate the Lease on
account of such default but shall give the Department a written notice (the
"Termination Notice") that Lessee has failed to cure the default within the grace
period and that, on account thereof, Landlord intends to terminate the Lease, which
notice shall set a termination date not earlier than ninety (90) days after the
Department's receipt of the Termination Notice, provided that Landlord agrees to
extend such termination date if the Department reasonably requires additional time
to accommodate the Department's taking possession of the Development where
possession is necessary to cure Lessee's default. No Termination Notice shall be
effective to terminate the Lease if:
(1) Except as provided in section 5.c., within one hundred eighty (180) days
after receipt of the Termination Notice, the Department cures any default which
can be cured by payment or expenditure of money with or without possession of
the Development; or provides reasonable assurance and undertakings for the
cure of such default. To effect a cure of Lessee's default, the Department may
make any repair of improvement, do any other act or thing required of Lessee
under the Lease, or do any act or thing which may be necessary or proper to
prevent termination of the Lease. The Department and its agents and
contractors will have full access to the Development for purposes of
accomplishing the curing of defaults under the Lease. Any of the foregoing done
by the Department shall be as effective to prevent a termination of the Lease as
the same would have been if done by Lessee; or
(2) The Department commences and diligently pursues to completion
proceedings for foreclosure and sale under the Trust Deed or assignment or
transfer in lieu of foreclosure.
b. (ii) Termination of Agreement and removing the Lease Rider from fee title.
The Department upon (receiving the Termination Notice and) being informed that
Landlord intends to terminate the Lease because of Lessee's default or breach, may
exercise its right to cure any breach or default under this Agreement and prevent
Lease termination.
However, should the Department elect not to exercise its cure rights under the
Agreement in the event of Lessee default, in conjunction with Landlord, the
Department will take steps to terminate the Agreement and execute the
appropriate documents to remove the Agreement from the fee title, to the extent
such actions are required to remove the Agreement.

c. Defaults Not Susceptible to Department_ Cure. The Department shall not be
required to perform any act which is not susceptible to performance by the
Department, such as to cure a filing or condition of bankruptcy or insolvency or to
cure or commence the cure of any default which is Lessee's failure to pay any lien,
charge or encumbrance which is junior in priority to the Trust Deed, or to pay any
amount owed under an indemnity of Landlord by Lessee based on an event occurring
prior to the Department's possession of the Development.
d. Landlord's Payment of Loan _Payment s. Landlord agrees that if Landlord cures
Lessee's failure to make any payment due under the Loan, it shall seek
reimbursement of amounts so paid solely from Lessee and the Department shall
have no obligation to pay such amounts to Landlord.
e. Waiver of Breach or Default. On transfer of the Leasehold at any foreclosure
sale under the Trust Deed or by acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, all
violations, defaults and breaches by Lessee under the Lease, including, without
limitation, nonpayment of rent or other amounts payable under the Lease, shall be
deemed personal obligations of Lessee, and the Department or other Transferee
shall be entitled to the New Lease as described in section 7 below without incurring
or assuming any liability or obligation of, or claim against, Lessee under the Lease.
Nothing in this section shall be deemed a waiver of any claim by Landlord against
Lessee under the Lease.
f. Enforcement Not a Breach. No action taken by the Department to enforce its
rights under any of the documents governing the Loan against either the Landlord or
the Lessee, or both, including, without limitation, any actions taken to collect any
amounts due and owing to the Department or any action to appoint a receiver for the
Development or to otherwise protect the security of the Loan, shall constitute or result
in a breach or violation of the Lease.
g. Status Quo Ante. Any default by Lessee shall not prejudice the Department if the
Department chooses to cure such default within the applicable grace period, and
Landlord acknowledges and agrees that upon the Department's cure of any such
default, the Lease shall be restored status quo ante.
7. New Lease.
a. Conditions. Section 6 hereof notwithstanding, Landlord agrees to comply with
the requirements of subsection 7.b., if the following conditions specified in this
subsection 7.a. apply:
(1) The Lease is terminated for any reason whatsoever (other than expiration
of the 99 -year term) or if the Department forecloses under the Trust Deed or

Dev: Centertown Apartments
Loan No.: 19-LPR-0049 (formerly, 90-RHCP-005)
(2) Department or other Transferee, whether or not such party has assumed
the Lease, requests Landlord in writing to enter into a new lease of the Property
within one hundred (180) days after (a) the Department completes a foreclosure
under the Trust Deed, or (b) the Department accepts a deed in lieu of foreclosure,
or the end of the cure period provided to the Department in the Termination Notice
(the "New Lease").
b. Obligations. If the conditions specified in section 7.a. have been satisfied,
Landlord shall:
(1) upon receipt of the request for New Lease described in subsection 7.a.(2)
above, enter into a New Lease of the Property with the Department, its nominee,
or its successor -in -interest or other Transferee, for the remainder of the term of
the Lease, effective as of the date of the termination or conveyance pursuant to
a foreclosure sale or of a deed -in -lieu of foreclosure. The New Lease shall be at
the rent of, and consistent with the terms, provisions, covenants, options and
agreements contained in the terminated or foreclosed Lease, or granted by the
Landlord in connection with the Lease, all as modified or supplemented by this
Agreement;
(2) convey by grant deed to the Department, its nominee or its
successor -in -interest or other Transferee, all title and interest to the Development
(other than the Property), if any, which may become vested in Landlord as a result
of any termination of the Lease or foreclosure of the Trust Deed or conveyance
of Lessee's interest by deed in lieu of foreclosure;
(3) assign to the Department, its nominee, or its successor -in -interest or other
Transferee, all of Landlord's interest, if any, in all existing subleases of all or any
part of the Development and all attornments given by the sublessees.
c. Primo. The Leasehold estate and the title (if any) in the Development granted
to the Department, its nominee or its successor -in -interest under this section 7 shall
be prior to any mortgage or other lien, charge or encumbrance on the Development,
except as approved in writing by the Department or as shown in the Report.
Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary contained herein, all
rights of the Department under this Section 7 shall at all times be subject and
subordinate to the rights of any holder of a deed of trust or mortgage that is senior in
priority to the Trust Deed (a "Senior Lienholder").
8. Successors to Department. Subject to section 5 hereof, if the Leasehold is transferred
by a foreclosure sale under the Trust Deed or by a deed in lieu of foreclosure, Landlord shall

notwithstanding (other than the rights of Senior Lienholders, if any), the rights and benefits
of the Department under this Agreement shall benefit and may be exercised by any
Transferee or by the holder of any mortgage or deed of trust which may be given to secure
a portion of the purchase price in any sale by the Department or its successor(s) after the
Department acquires the Leasehold or enters into a New Lease under this Agreement.
9. Diligence of Department. So long as the Department is prevented by any process or
injunction issued by any court or by any statutory stay, or by reason of any action by any
court having jurisdiction of any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding involving Landlord or
Lessee, from commencing or prosecuting foreclosure or other appropriate proceedings in
the nature thereof, the Department shall not be deemed for that reason to have failed to
commence such proceedings or to have failed to prosecute diligently such proceedings,
provided, however, that the Department shall use reasonable efforts to contest and appeal
the issuance or continuance of any such process, stay or injunction.
10. Condemnation and Insurance Proceeds.
a. Anything in the Lease notwithstanding, all fire and other hazard or casualty
insurance proceeds shall be paid to the Department to the extent required by the
Regulatory Agreement but at all times subject and subordinate to the rights of all
Senior Lienholders. In addition, in the event of any condemnation or partial
condemnation, all condemnation award proceeds payable on account of such
condemnation or partial condemnation shall be paid to the Department to the extent
required by the Regulatory Agreement, subject to the rights of Senior Lienholders, if
any.
b. During the term of the Loan, the Department shall, subject to the rights of Senior
Lienholders, have the right to participate in any settlement or stipulation of judgment
with respect to any condemnation proceeding entered into with the condemnation
authority affecting all or any portion of the Development or any agreement to sell all
or any portion of the Development in lieu of condemnation, and no such settlement,
stipulation or agreement shall be made or entered into without the Department's prior
written consent, which consent shall be in the Department's sole and absolute
discretion and may be conditioned upon the satisfaction of such terms and conditions
as the Department may prescribe. Department shall also have the right (but not the
obligation) to participate in any settlement, discussion, and/or arbitration proceeding
between Landlord and Lessee with respect to the apportionment or application of
any condemnation award, but at all times subject and subordinate to the rights of all
Senior Lienholders.

Department, Landlord shall execute and deliver to the Department or to any proposed
purchaser or encumbrancer of Lessee's estate a certificate declaring (i) the existence and

These addresses may be changed by a notice given in the same manner provided that
Landlord acknowledges and agrees that it shall have a duty to verify the addresses provided
herein. Notices shall be effective on receipt.
13. Department's Rights Against Lessee. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit or restrict
the Department's rights and remedies under the Note, the Trust Deed, the Regulatory
Agreement, or any other agreement between the Department and Lessee.
14. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and bind the
successors and assigns of the Department, Landlord and Lessee.
15. Uninsured Hazard. Landlord agrees that neither the Department nor any person
acquiring the Property or a portion of the Leasehold pursuant to a foreclosure under the
Trust Deed, or deed in lieu of foreclosure, nor the lessee under a New Lease pursuant to
section 6 hereof, nor any successive owner of a portion of the Leasehold after such
foreclosure or New Lease shall have any obligation hereunder or under the Lease or New
Lease to repair or reconstruct any damage or loss to the Development which is due to a
hazard not required to be covered by insurance under the Lease or New Lease.
16. Duty to Repair. Landlord agrees that if the Department, its nominee, or its
successor -in -interest succeeds to Lessee's leasehold interest in the Property and if the
Development on the Property shall have been or becomes materially damaged before or
after the date of such acquisition, the Department's, its nominee's, or its
successor -in -interest's obligation, if any, to repair, replace or reconstruct the Development
shall in any such event be limited to the greater of: i) the amount of the net insurance
proceeds received by the Department by reason of that damage or ii) the amount the
Department would be entitled to if in compliance with the minimum insurance requirements
of Lessee under the Lease.
17. Options. Subject to the rights of any Senior Lienholder, Landlord and Lessee agree
that the Department may exercise any option to extend the term of the Lease or to purchase
any interest in the Property which is granted to Lessee under or in connection with the
Lease.
18. Limitation on Liability. If the Department agrees to be bound by the terms of the
Lease, or in the event of any Transfer to a Transferee, neither the Department nor
Transferee shall have any obligation under the Lease with respect to any liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, fines, penalties, claims, demands, suits, actions, causes of
actions, charges, judgments, costs, and expenses (including architects' and attorneys' fees
and court costs) arising out of or resulting from acts, omissions, circumstances or events

be bound by the Lease. Nothing in this Agreement or in the Lease shall impose on the
Department any liability to perform the obligations of Lessee under the Lease or require the
Department to assume the Lease unless and until the Department acquires Lessee's rights
by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure. After acquiring Lessee's rights by foreclosure
or deed in lieu of foreclosure, the Department shall be liable to perform Lessee's obligations
only until the Department assigns or transfers the Leasehold. The Department shall not,
however, be required to cure Lessee's defaults occurring before the Department's
acquisition of Lessee's rights by foreclosure.
19. Conflict With Lease. The provisions herein are intended to be supplementary to, and
not in derogation of, the parties' rights and obligations contained in the Lease (including all
of the Department's rights under the Lease as a leasehold mortgagee), but in the event of
any conflict or inconsistency between the terms of the Lease and the terms of this
Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall govern and control, and the Lease shall be
deemed to be modified hereby.

Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party, its costs
and expenses. The term "costs and expenses" as used herein shall include all costs and

registered process server, or other means; expenses of attachment including keeper's fees;
premiums on surety bonds; ordinary witness fees pursuant to section 68093 of the California
Government Code; fees of expert witnesses whether or not ordered by the court; transcripts
of court proceedings whether or not ordered by the court; court reporters fees as established
by statute; investigation expenses in preparing the case for trial; postage, telephone, and
photocopying charges; costs in investigation of jurors or in preparation for voir dire; models,
blowups and photocopies of exhibits, and any other item that is required to be awarded to
the prevailing party pursuant to statute as an incident to prevailing in the action at trial or on
appeal. Such costs and expenses shall be recoverable whether the services were rendered
by a salaried employee of the party or by an independent contractor.
21. Transferee. A Transferee must be qualified and experienced to perform the
obligations of the Lease and the Regulatory Agreement.
22. Notice to Landlord. Landlord shall be provided notice of Lessee's default or breach
under the Loan and Landlord shall have the right (but not the obligation) to cure any such
default or breach within 60 days of receipt of notice.

What Persona! Information We Share and Why We Share It
The CCPA requires us to tell you what categories of personal information we "sell" or "disclose." We
do not sell and will not sell your personal information as that term is commonly understood. We also
do not sell and will not sell your personal information, including the personal information of persons
under 16 years of age, as that term is defined by the CCPA. When it is necessary for a business
purpose, we share or disclose your personal information with a service provider, and we enter a
contract with the service provider that limits how the information may be used and requires the service
provider to protect the confidentiality of the information.
In the preceding twelve months, we have disclosed the following categories of personal information for
the following business purposes. Where the personal information is shared with third parties, as that
term is defined in the CCPA, the category of the third party is indicated.

LEASE RIDER
AGREEMENT (TAX CREDITS)
Ground Lease
TCAC NUMBER CA -
PROJECT NAME
THIS LEASE RIDER AGREEMENT (the "Lease Rider Agreement") is dated this
day of , and is made and entered into for reference purposes only, by and
among (the "Lessor"), (the "Lessee"), and the California Tax Credit
Allocation Committee, a public agency of the State of California established under Section
50199.8 of the Health and Safety Code ("TCAC") in consideration of the following facts
and circumstances:
A. Lessor is the fee simple owner of that certain real property described in ExNbit A
attached hereto and incorporated herein (the "Property");
B. [OPTION A: PRIVATE LESSOR] Lessor and Lessee entered into the following
ground lease of the Property: that certain ground lease dated and recorded
in the official records of County, California (the "Official Records") as Instrument No.
[and as amended by that certain First Lease Addendum dated and recorded
as Instrument No. ] (the "Lease");
[OPTION B: PUBLIC AGENCY LESSOR]: Lessor and Lessee entered into the
following ground lease of the Property: that certain ground lease, which is on file with the
Lessor as a public record (the "Lease") and a memorandum of which was recorded in the
official records of County, California, as Instrument No. (the "Memorandum
of Lease") [and as amended by that certain First Lease Addendum dated and
recorded as Instrument No. ) ("Memorandum of First Lease Amendment")];
C. Pursuant to the Lease, Lessee has agreed to acquire a leasehold in the Property for
a term described below in Paragraph 2.f. which is at least as long as the TCAC Regulatory
Agreement and to [develop, acquire, refinance, construct, rehabilitate], own, operate and
manage a rental housing development on the Property consisting of not less than
TCAC Regulatory Agreement Lease Rider 10-10-17
residential rental units [and nonresidential space(s) approved by TCAC]. During the term
of the Lease, Lessee is the owner of all of those certain buildings, improvements and
fixtures now or hereafter erected on the Property described in the lease, and all
appurtenances thereto now or hereafter affixed to, placed upon or used in connection with
such real property and owned by Lessee or in which Lessee has an interest, together with
all additions to, substitutions for, changes in and replacements of the whole or any part of
said articles of property (collectively, the "Improvements"). Collectively, the Lessee's
leasehold interest in the Property and its interest in the Improvements constructed
pursuant to the Lease are hereinafter sometimes referred to as the Development (the
"Development");
D. TCAC has authorized an allocation of federal [and state] low-income housing tax
credits by a Reservation Letter dated (the "Allocation") to Lessee to finance, in part,
the Development, pursuant to the Low Income Housing Tax Credit Program ("Program").
The Allocation is subject to numerous terms and conditions, including without limitation,
the execution and delivery of this Lease Rider Agreement and the TCAC Regulatory
Agreement which sets forth certain use restrictions affecting the Development, which
TCAC Regulatory Agreement is to be recorded in County, as required by Section
42 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations promulgated
thereunder (collectively, "Section 42");
E. As a further condition of the Allocation and pursuant to the requirements of the
Program, Lessee and TCAC [have entered] [will enter] into a Regulatory Agreement,
including any amendments thereto (the "Regulatory Agreement"), securing performance
related to the Allocation, and governing the use, occupancy, operation, management and
ownership of the Development. Consistent with the provisions of Section 17 hereof,
Lessor and Lessee have agreed to waive any such provisions of the Lease in conflict with
or which would frustrate Lessee's compliance with the Regulatory Agreement in favor of
the terms of the Regulatory Agreement;
F. In order to induce TCAC to make the Allocation, Lessor and Lessee have agreed to
enter into and record this Lease Rider Agreement for the benefit of TCAC, its successors,
and assigns; and
G. It is the intent of TCAC that, except in unique circumstances, it will exercise its rights
and remedies under this Lease Rider Agreement only after written notice of any Lease
defaults have been provided to Lessor, any Senior Lender, the Tax Credit Partner, and
any other party known by TCAC to have either an ownership or other equitable interest in
the Development. In addition, it is the intent of TCAC that the exercise of its rights and
remedies under this Lease Rider Agreement generally shall be undertaken as part of a
judicial action in a court of competent jurisdiction unless Lessor and any Senior Lenders
otherwise agree.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the mutual covenants
hereinafter contained, TCAC, Lessee and Lessor hereby agree as follows:
TCAC Regulatory Agreement Lease Rider 10-10-17
1. Definitions and Lease Rider Term.
a. As used herein, "Leasehold" means all of Lessee's leasehold interest in the
Property described in Exhibit A, in the Development, in the Improvements now or hereafter
located on the Property, all options contained in the Lease or granted in connection with
the Lease, all other rights of Lessee under the Lease, and all subleases entered into in
connection with the Lease (the "Subleases").
b. For the purposes of this Lease Rider Agreement, if Lessor is a corporate or
governmental entity, the obligation to assert facts related to the "Lessor's knowledge" shall
include a duty [for the chief executive of the agency or corporation] to perform or otherwise
be responsible for pursuit of reasonably diligent efforts to ascertain the existence or
nonexistence of the facts asserted, contemporaneous to the assertion. This duty may be
fulfilled by use of an estoppel agreement executed by the Lessee.
c. For the purposes of this Lease Rider Agreement, the holders of all mortgage
liens set forth in the Report and any other lenders approved by TCAC and all successors
and assigns thereof including the holders of any mortgage lien against the Improvements
or Lessee's interest in the Leasehold are collectively referred to as "Senior Lenders."
d. Lease Rider Agreement Term. This Lease Rider Agreement becomes
effective on the date the TCAC Regulatory Agreement is recorded and remains in
effect for at least the term of the Regulatory Agreement. Upon the expiration or sooner
termination of the TCAC Regulatory Agreement, this Lease Rider Agreement shall
terminate and be of no further force or effect.
2. Representations and Warranties of Lessor and Lessee. Lessor and Lessee hereby
represent and warrant to TCAC as of the date of this Lease Rider Agreement as follows:
a. Title. (1) By Lessor: Lessor warrants and represents to TCAC that, to the best
of Lessor's knowledge, Lessor's fee interest in the Property is free and clear of all

of record except those shown as affecting the fee interest of the Property in that
certain Policy of Title Insurance Final Report or, if one has not been issued,
Preliminary Report regarding the Property issued on by , Order #

approval.
b. Priority. Lessor warrants and represents to TCAC that [except as otherwise
referenced in the Report,] the Lease is superior to any and all mortgage liens on the
Property and nothing encumbers fee title of the Property which would interfere with
Lessee's ability to construct and operate the Development on the Property.
c. Transfers by Lessor. Lessor warrants and represents to the best of Lessor's
knowledge that it has not assigned, mortgaged, or otherwise hypothecated or
transferred, or agreed to assign, mortgage or otherwise hypothecate or transfer, its
interest in the Property in whole or in part, except as referenced in the Report and
except as security for any loans or any other liens, conditions, covenants, or
restrictions on the Property identified in the Report and approved in writing by
TCAC.
d. Status of Lease. Lessor warrants and represents that:
(1) Lessor is the current Lessor under the Lease. To the best of Lessor's
knowledge, the Lease is in full force, the Lease is not void, voidable or
terminable as of the date hereof without an uncured default by Lessee except
pursuant to Section 5 at the option of any party thereto or of any other person or
entity claiming an interest in or to such Lease or the Development, and to the
best of Lessor's knowledge, there has been no default thereunder on the part of
Lessee nor has any event occurred which, with the giving of notice or the
passage of time, or both, would be an event of default thereunder. Lessor has
not given notice of any violation under the Lease to Lessee. Lessor has not
been informed of and has not otherwise received notice from Lessee or from
any other person or entity concerning any alleged default on the part of Lessor
under the Lease. To the best of Lessor's knowledge, there exist no defenses or
offsets to enforcement of the Lease by Lessee. [Optional, if applicable:
Pursuant to the terms of the Lease, Lessor has waived its right to terminate the
Lease during the Compliance Period (as defined in the Lease) for a non -
monetary default by Lessee without the prior written consent and approval of
the Tax Credit Partner and the Senior Lenders.]
(2) Any consent or approval of any third party (including any lender or
government agency) that is required in order for Lessor to deliver this Lease
Rider Agreement has been obtained.
(3) To the best of Lessor's knowledge, no alterations, improvements or
additions now exist on the Property that have not been approved by the Lessor.

TCAC Regulatory Agreement Lease Rider 10-10-17
e. Other Agreements. All terms and conditions of the Lessee's tenancy under the

its knowledge that there have been no other agreements and no further or other
supplements, amendments, modifications or extensions thereof except those
submitted to and approved by TCAC.
f. Lease Term. The date of the commencement of the Lease term is and
will end on unless terminated sooner pursuant to its terms and consistent
with this Lease Rider Agreement. All conditions precedent to the effectiveness of
the Lease or the exercise of any of Lessee's rights thereunder at the effective date
of the Lease have been fully satisfied.
g. Development. To the best of Lessor's knowledge, the Improvements
constructed, or to be constructed, by Lessee on the Property satisfy or are expected
to satisfy all requirements affecting the design, use or characteristics of such
Improvements imposed by Lessor under the Lease or otherwise, including a
requirement by Lessor for Lessee to comply with any and all applicable provisions of
federal, state and local laws, and all agreements with any public entities concerning
the Development, as amended from time to time.
h. Insurance. All notices, certificates, binders, endorsements, copies of policies,
and receipts required under the Lease have been delivered to and approved by
Lessor.
3. Cancellation. Transfer of Interest.
a. [Subject to matters of record referenced in the Report, the rights of Senior
Lenders and the Tax Credit Partner and the matters of record on the Lessee's
Leasehold interest and only to the extent necessary or appropriate pursuant to
such matters of record,] Lessor and Lessee agree that so long as TCAC, its
successor or assigns holds the Regulatory Agreement encumbering the
Development, no termination of the Lease or efforts by Lessor to terminate the
Lease except a termination consistent with Section 5, and no subordination,
cancellation, surrender, amendment or modification of the Lease shall be effective
without the prior written consent of TCAC, which consent shall be in TCAC's
reasonable discretion and may be conditioned upon the satisfaction of such terms
and conditions as TCAC may reasonably prescribe. TCAC shall have 30 days after
its receipt of such a notice and any clarifications thereof requested by TCAC to
consent to or deny any such variation from those obligations. Failure by TCAC to
act within such a 30 -day period shall constitute consent to such a variation. Any
attempt by Lessor to take such action shall be void without TCAC's prior written
consent or implied consent as provided for in this Section 3.a.
b. [Subject to matters of record referenced in the Report, the rights of Senior
Lenders and the Tax Credit Partner, and the matters of record on the Lessee's
Leasehold interest and only to the extent necessary or appropriate pursuant to
TCAC Regulatory Agreement Lease Rider 10-10-17
such matters of record,] Lessor agrees that it shall not transfer, convey, sell,
hypothecate, assign, encumber or permit any liens against its interest, or any portion
thereof, in the Property or the Development unless Lessor requires, and any
purchaser, assignee, or transferee agrees, that the purchaser, assignee, or
transferee will expressly assume all obligations of Lessor under the Lease and this
Lease Rider Agreement by a written instrument recordable in the Official Records.
Any variation from those obligations shall require prior written approval of TCAC,
which consent shall be in TCAC's reasonable discretion, and may be conditioned
upon the satisfaction of such terms and conditions as TCAC may reasonably
prescribe. If Lessor or Lessor's successor is seeking a variation from these
obligations, Lessor or Lessor's successors and assigns shall provide TCAC with
copies of all documents related to the transfer, conveyance, sale, hypothecation,
assignment, encumbrance or lien at least 30 days prior to the effective date of that
transaction and TCAC shall have 30 days after its receipt to reasonably consent or
deny any such variation from those obligations. Failure by TCAC to act within such a
30 -day period shall constitute consent to such a variation.
c. Foreclosure. Nothing contained in this Lease Rider Agreement shall prevent a
Senior Lender from foreclosing on its security interest or accepting a conveyance in
lieu of foreclosure.
d. No Merger. There shall be no merger of the Lease or any interest in the Lease,
nor of the Leasehold interest, with the fee estate in the Property if the Lease or
such interest therein, or such Leasehold interest may be directly or indirectly held
by or for the account of any person who shall hold the fee estate in the Property, or
any interest in such fee estate, nor shall there be such a merger by reason of the
fact that all or any part of the Leasehold interest created thereby may be conveyed
or mortgaged in a leasehold mortgage, deed of trust, or other security instrument to
a leasehold mortgagee that shall hold the fee estate in the Property or any interest
of the Lessor under the Lease.
4. Consent to Assignment Payment of Rent.
a. [Subject to any matters of record as referenced in the Report, the rights of
Senior Lenders, and the matters of record on the Lessee's Leasehold interest and
only to the extent necessary or appropriate pursuant to such matters of record,]
Lessor hereby consents to and approves the following to the extent such consents
or approvals are required under the Lease:
(1) Lessee's encumbering the Lease, the Leasehold and the Development by
the Regulatory Agreement; possession of the Leasehold and any Development
thereon by TCAC or by a receiver under the Regulatory Agreement; and sale of
the Leasehold and the Development pursuant to a court order or other
agreement enforcing the Regulatory Agreement;
(2) Assignments to TCAC or its designee of any subleases and any and all
rents from such subleases; and
6
TCAC Regulatory Agreement Lease Rider 10-10-17
(3) Sale or assignment of all or any part of any interest in the Leasehold to any
purchaser or transferee pursuant to a court order or other agreement enforcing
the Regulatory Agreement (such purchaser or transferee, including TCAC, is
collectively referred to as the "Transferee"), and to any subsequent transfers (all
such assignments, transfers, and subsequent transfers referred to in this Lease
Rider Agreement as the "Transfer").
b. Nothing in this Lease Rider Agreement, in the Regulatory Agreement or in the
Lease shall impose on TCAC the obligations of Lessee under the Lease or require
TCAC to assume the Lease unless TCAC takes possession or ownership of the
Development pursuant to a court order or other agreement under the Regulatory
Agreement, or becomes the lessee under the Lease or a New Lease (defined in
Section 5, below).
5. Notice of Defaults; Termination Notice.
a. Notice and Cure. Lessor shall provide concurrently to TCAC a written copy of
all notices and demands, including, without limitation, notices of default or breach
which Lessor gives, delivers, or sends to Lessee under the Lease. No notice or
demand under the Lease shall be effective as to TCAC unless and until a copy of
such notice is provided to TCAC as provided herein. Any notice of default under
the Lease or this Lease Rider Agreement shall describe the default(s) with
reasonable detail. TCAC shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure any
breach or default within the time period given in the Lease; provided that, if such
notice to TCAC is not given or is delayed for any reason, the period of time within
which TCAC may cure any such breach or default shall commence upon receipt by
TCAC of such notice. Lessor and Lessee authorize TCAC to enter the Property
and Improvements after reasonable prior written notice or pursuant to a court order
for the purpose of mitigating defaults or exercising its right to cure and any other
powers given TCAC under the Regulatory Agreement, this Lease Rider Agreement
or the Lease.
b. Termination Notice. After the expiration of the grace period given Lessee under
the Lease to cure a default, Lessor shall not terminate the Lease on account of
such default but shall give TCAC a written notice (the "Termination Notice") that
Lessee has failed to cure the default within the grace period and that, on account
thereof, Lessor intends to terminate the Lease, which notice shall set a termination
date not earlier than ninety (90) days after TCAC's receipt of the Termination
Notice, provided that Lessor agrees to extend such termination date for a
reasonable period if TCAC reasonably requires additional time to accommodate
TCAC's taking possession of the Development where possession is necessary to
cure Lessee's default, all of which is subject to any Senior Lender's security
instruments. In the event the default results in the existence of an immediate or
imminent serious health and safety threat to the residents or the public, Lessor may
request TCAC to approve a shorter termination date which shall not be
unreasonably denied. In addition, TCAC may waive its right to the 90 -day period to
TCAC Regulatory Agreement Lease Rider 10-10-17
cure under the Termination Notice after its receipt of the Termination Notice if
TCAC determines that it will not take action to effect a cure for the default. No
Termination Notice shall become effective to terminate the Lease if:
(1) Except as provided in Section 5.c., within ninety (90) days after receipt of
the Termination Notice, TCAC cures all defaults which can be cured by
payment or expenditure of money or without possession of the Development;
or provides reasonable assurance and undertakings for the cure of such
default. To effect a cure of Lessee's default, TCAC may, subject to the rights
of all Senior Lenders, make any repair of improvement, do any other act or
thing required of Lessee under the Lease, or do any act or thing which may be
necessary or proper to prevent termination of the Lease. TCAC and its agents
and contractors, subject to the rights of all Senior Lenders, shall have full
access to the Property and Improvements for purposes of accomplishing the
curing of defaults under the Lease. Any of the foregoing done by TCAC shall
be as effective to prevent a termination of the Lease as the same would have
been if done by Lessee; or
(2) TCAC commences and diligently pursues judicial and/or administrative
proceedings commenced under the Regulatory Agreement to cure a default.
(3) If TCAC has not cured a default upon the expiration of such Termination
Notice pursuant to Subsection (1) above or fails to commence and diligently
pursue a cure pursuant to Subsection (2) above, and subject to compliance
with other provisions of this Section 5.b.and any limitations on termination in
the Lease, Lessor may terminate the Lease and pursue such other remedies
as are available under the terms of the Lease.
c. Defaults Not Susceptible to TCAC Cure. TCAC shall not be required to perform
any act which is not susceptible to performance by TCAC, such as to cure a filing or
condition of bankruptcy or insolvency or to cure or commence the cure of any
default which is Lessee's failure to pay or comply with any lien, charge or
encumbrance which is junior in priority to the Regulatory Agreement, or to pay any
amount owed under an indemnity of Lessor by Lessee based on an event occurring
prior to TCAC's possession of the Development. If any such act not susceptible to
performance by TCAC constitutes a breach under the Lease, Lessor may resort to
any and all of its remedies for such breach under the Lease.
d. Reimbursement of Lessor's Payment of Arrears. Lessor agrees that if Lessor
cures Lessee's failure to make any payment due under the Lease or any loan
identified in Section 2.a., it shall seek reimbursement of amounts so paid solely
from Lessee and TCAC shall have no obligation to pay such amounts to Lessor.
e. Waiver of Breach or Default. Subject to the rights of Senior Lenders, on
transfer of the Leasehold interest pursuant to a court order or other agreement
enforcing the Regulatory Agreement, all violations, defaults and breaches by
Lessee under the Lease occurring prior to such transfer, including, without
TCAC Regulatory Agreement Lease Rider 10-10-17
limitation, nonpayment of rent or other amounts payable under the Lease, shall
be deemed personal obligations of Lessee, and TCAC or other Transferee shall
be entitled to the New Lease as described in Section 6 below without incurring or
assuming any liability or obligation of, or claim against, Lessee under the Lease.
However, upon transfer of the Leasehold interest, TCAC or the Transferee, as
applicable, shall be responsible for correcting all defaults in existence at the time
of the transfer; Lessor may exercise its rights under Section 5.b. if TCAC or the
Transferee fails to correct any such default within a reasonable time. Nothing in
this section shall be deemed a waiver of any claim by Lessor, TCAC, or other
Transferee against Lessee under the Lease.
f. Enforcement Not a Breach. Any action taken by TCAC to enforce its rights
under this Lease Rider Agreement with respect to Lessee with respect to any of the
documents governing the Allocation including, without limitation, any actions taken
to collect any amounts due and owing to TCAC or any action to appoint a receiver
for the Development or to otherwise ensure compliance with the Regulatory
Agreement, shall not constitute or result in a breach or violation of the Lease.
g. Status Quo Ante. Any default by Lessee shall not prejudice TCAC if TCAC
chooses to cure such default within the applicable grace period specified by this
Lease Rider Agreement or the Lease, and Lessor acknowledges and agrees that
upon TCAC's cure of any such default, the Lease shall be restored status quo ante.
6. New Lease.
a. Conditions. Section 5 hereof notwithstanding, [and subject to the rights of
Senior Lenders as provided in their security instruments,] Lessor agrees to comply

Section 6.a. apply:
(1) The Lessee's Lease or a Transferee's New Lease is terminated for any
reason whatsoever and TCAC or a subsequent Transferee acquires possession
or ownership of the Development as a result of TCAC enforcing its remedies
authorized by the Regulatory Agreement; and
(2) TCAC or other Transferee, whether or not such party has assumed the
Lease, requests Lessor in writing pursuant to Section 6.b. to enter into a new
lease (the "New Lease") of the Property within ninety (90) days after TCAC or
the Transferee takes possession or ownership of the Development either as a
result of a court order or other agreement under the Regulatory Agreement.
The New Lease shall be at the rent of, and consistent with, the terms,
provisions, covenants, options and agreements contained in the terminated
Lease, [as amended,] or granted by the Lessor in connection with the Lease, all

subject to the provisions of matters of record as referenced in the Report and the
rights of Senior Lenders in their security instruments,] Lessor shall:
(1) upon receipt of the request for New Lease described in Section 6.a.(2)
above, enter into a New Lease of the Property with TCAC, its nominee, or its
successor -in -interest or other Transferee, for the remainder of the term of the
Lease, effective as of the date of the termination of the Leasehold or
conveyance of the Development pursuant to a court order or other agreement
under the Regulatory Agreement;
(2) convey to TCAC, its nominee or its successor -in -interest or other
Transferee, all title and interest of the Lessee to the Improvements and
Leasehold encumbered by the Regulatory Agreement, if any, which may
become or have become vested in Lessor as a result of any termination of the
Lease or conveyance by court order or other agreement under the Regulatory
Agreement, so long as the New Lease contains provisions that require TCAC,
its nominee, or its successor -in -interest or other Transferee to reconvey all title
and interest conveyed by Lessor's grant deed in the Improvements at the
termination of the term of the New Lease; and
(3) assign to TCAC, its nominee, or its successor -in -interest or other
Transferee, all of Lessor's interest as landlord, if any, in all existing Subleases of
all or any part of the Development and all attornments given by the sublessees
under such Subleases, provided that TCAC, its nominee, or its successor -in -
interest shall reconvey all such title and interest conveyed by Lessor in all
existing Subleases in all or any part of the Development at the termination of the
New Lease.
c. Priority. The Leasehold interest and any other interest (if any) in the
Development granted to TCAC, its nominee or its successor -in -interest or other
Transferee under this Section 6 shall be prior to any mortgage or other lien, charge
or encumbrance on the Development created by Lessor or Lessee, except for the
liens of Senior Lenders or as approved in writing by TCAC or as referenced in the
Report.
7. Successors to TCAC. Subject to Section 4 hereof, if the Leasehold is transferred
pursuant to a court order or other agreement enforcing the Regulatory Agreement, Lessor
shall recognize the Transferee as the tenant under the Lease, subject to the liens of Senior
Lenders. Anything in the Lease notwithstanding, the rights and benefits of TCAC under
this Lease Rider Agreement shall benefit and may be exercised by any Transferee. The
holder of any mortgage or deed of trust which may be given to secure a portion of the
purchase price in any sale by TCAC or its successor(s) after TCAC acquires the
Leasehold interest or enters into a New Lease under this Lease Rider Agreement shall be
entitled to rely on continuation of the same rights and benefits of TCAC under this Lease
Rider Agreement.

issued by any court or by any statutory stay, or by reason of any action by any court
having jurisdiction of any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding involving Lessor or Lessee,
from commencing or prosecuting its remedies under the Regulatory Agreement or other
appropriate proceedings in the nature thereof, or undertaking or completing any of TCAC's
rights or remedies under the Lease or this Lease Rider Agreement, TCAC shall not be
deemed for that reason to have failed to commence such proceedings or to have failed to
prosecute diligently such proceedings, provided, however, that TCAC shall use reasonable
efforts to contest and appeal the issuance or continuance of any such process, stay or
injunction.
9. Certificates.

agreement between TCAC and Lessee.
12. Successors and Assigns. This Lease Rider Agreement shall inure to the benefit of
and bind the successors and assigns of TCAC, Lessor and Lessee.
13. Uninsured Hazard. Lessor agrees that neither TCAC nor any person acquiring the
Development, or a portion of the Leasehold pursuant to a court order or other agreement
enforcing the Regulatory Agreement, nor the lessee under a New Lease pursuant to
Section 5 hereof, nor any successive owner of a portion of the Development after such
transfer or New Lease shall have any obligation hereunder or under the Lease or New
Lease to repair or reconstruct any damage or loss to the Development which occurred
prior to such transfer or New Lease and which is due to a hazard not required to be
covered by insurance under the Lease or New Lease. However, if the damage or loss is
not corrected and constitutes a breach of the Lease or New Lease, Lessor may exercise
its rights under Section 5.
14. Duty to Repair. Lessor agrees that if TCAC, its nominee, or its successor -in -interest
succeeds to Lessee's Leasehold interest in the Property and if the Development shall have
been or becomes materially damaged before or after the date of such acquisition, TCAC's,
its nominee's, or its successor -in -interest's obligation, if any, to repair, replace or
reconstruct the Development shall in any such event be limited to the greater of: i) the
amount of the net insurance proceeds received by TCAC, its nominee, or its successor -in -
interest by reason of that damage or ii) the amount TCAC, its nominee, or its successor -in -
interest would be entitled to if in compliance with the minimum insurance requirements of
Lessee under the Lease. However, if the damage or loss is not corrected and constitutes a

TCAC Regulatory Agreement Lease Rider 10-10-17
term of the Lease or New Lease or to purchase any interest in the Property which is
granted to Lessee under or in connection with the Lease or the New Lease.
16. Limitation on Liability. If TCAC agrees to be bound by the terms of the Lease, or in
the event of any Transfer to a Transferee, then unless so ordered by a court or as agreed
to by TCAC, any Transferee, and any secured creditors, neither TCAC nor Transferee
shall have any obligation under the Lease or the New Lease with respect to any liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, fines, penalties, claims, demands, suits, actions, causes of
actions, charges, judgments, costs, and expenses (including architects' and attorneys' fees
and court costs) arising out of or resulting from acts, omissions, circumstances or events
occurring before or existing at the time of such Transfer or TCAC's agreement to be bound
by the Lease or the New Lease except for matters of record identified in the Report at the

acquisition of the Leasehold. Nothing in this Lease Rider Agreement or in the Lease or
New Lease shall impose on TCAC any liability to perform the obligations of Lessee under
the Lease or New Lease or require TCAC to assume the Lease or New Lease unless and
until TCAC acquires the Development pursuant to a court order or other agreement
enforcing the Regulatory Agreement. After acquiring the Development in such a manner,
TCAC shall be liable to perform Lessee's obligations only until TCAC assigns or transfers
the Leasehold. TCAC shall not, however, be required to cure Lessee's defaults occurring
before TCAC's acquisition of the Development in such a manner except that TCAC or the
Transferee must cure any defaults in existence at the time of transfer within a reasonable
period of time.
17. Conflict With Lease. The provisions herein are intended to be supplementary to,
and not in derogation of, the parties' rights and obligations contained in the Lease
(including all of TCAC's rights under the Lease as a party with a recorded encumbrance).
In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms of the Lease and the terms
of this Lease Rider Agreement, except for any term expressly excluded or modified by
Section 21, the terms of this Lease Rider Agreement shall govern and control, and the
Lease shall be deemed to be modified hereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing
contained herein shall affect the rights of Senior Lenders or the Tax Credit Partner, nor
shall anything contained herein subordinate the lien of any Senior Lender to any rights of
TCAC hereunder.
18. Regulatory Agreement Remedies. Nothing in this Lease Rider Agreement is intended
to create enforcement rights under the Regulatory Agreement that do not otherwise exist
in the Regulatory Agreement.
19. Enforcement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Lease and
notwithstanding the fact that the Lease Rider Agreement is recorded against the Leasehold
interest in the Property, Lessor hereby expressly agrees that during the term of the
Regulatory Agreement, any violation of the Lease Rider Agreement, including but not
limited to any termination, subordination, cancellation, surrender, amendment or
modification of the Lease in violation of Section 3 of this Lease Rider Agreement, shall be
deemed ineffective. Lessor further agrees, that during the term of the Regulatory
Agreement, TCAC shall have standing to enforce and preserve TCAC's rights under the
13
TCAC Regulatory Agreement Lease Rider 10-10-17
terms of this Lease Rider Agreement and the Regulatory Agreement.
20. Subordination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere
herein, the parties hereto hereby agree that this Lease Rider Agreement (and all
amendments. modifications and supplements hereto) is hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally made subject and subordinate in all respects to (a) all existing and
future deeds of trust and mortgages approved by TCAC now or hereafter encumbering

amendments, modifications and supplements thereto), and (b) all rights granted to any
holder of any such deed of trust or mortgage under any term or provision of the Lease.

also constitute "Senior Lenders" for all purposes of this Lease Rider Agreement) is
hereby made an express third—party beneficiary of the foregoing sentence. [Optional:

trust and mortgages encumbering the leasehold].].
20. Additional Provisions. [Intentionally left blank] [Insert additional provision(s)]
