COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AND HOUSING COMMISSION ACTION
At its regular meeting on February 15, 2011, by a vote of 5:0 (Bist absent), the Community
Redevelopment and Housing Commission approved the recommended action.
DISCUSSION
On March 1, 2010, Orange Housing Development Corporation (OHDC), a non-profit 501(c)(3), and
C&C Development (C&C), a for-profit developer, were awarded the contract to implement the
multi-family rental program funded by the Federal National Stabilization Program (NSP). They
have formed a Limited Partnership named Santa Ana WBBB, LP (Developer) for financing
purposes.
In June 2010, the developer acquired foreclosed vacant lots at 605-611 East Washington (Exhibit
1) using NSP funds. The entitlement process is being completed and the project is proceeding
with funding in order to commence construction. The developer proposes to construct 36 multi-
family rental units of which 10% or 4 units will be rented to extremely low income families (at or
below 30% of the Area Median Income (AMI)) and 31 units will be rented to very low income
families (at or below 50% of AMI). The one remaining unit will be designated as a manager unit.
The project will have 8 two-bedrooms, 27 three-bedrooms and 1 five-bedroom. The following table
contains the breakdown of the units by bedroom size and affordability as well as maximum rents:

The architecture and materials for this project are designed to promote sustainability. The
developer will be seeking Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) Gold Certification
for this development. LEED is a third-party certification program and the nationally accepted
benchmark for the design, construction and operation of high performance green buildings. There
are four levels of LEED certification: Certified, Silver, Gold and Platinum.
The total development cost is $14,832,587. The developer will be applying to the California Debt
Limit Allocation Committee (CDLAC) for tax exempt financing and to the California Tax Credit
Allocation Committee (TCAC) for low income housing tax credits; both sources will be used to help
meet permanent and construction financing costs. There is a $6,389,497 gap and staff is
recommending it be filled with $2.5 million from HOME and $3,888,497 from the Redevelopment
Agency. The following table summarizes the sources and uses:

this Agreement, Developer shall develop or cause the development of the Improvements on the
Property in accordance with the Scope of Development, the City of Santa Ana's Municipal Code, and
the Basic Concept and Schematic Drawings and Design Development Drawings submitted by
Developer and reasonably approved by the City and Agency as set forth herein, at all times set forth
in the Schedule of Performance. The Improvements shall generally consist of the construction of a
thirty-six (36) unit multi-family residential Project on the Property (including eight (8) two-bedroom
units, twenty-seven (27) three-bedroom units, and one (1) five-bedroom unit), along with associated
landscaping and other required onsite and offsite improvements. The Improvements are generally
depicted on the Site Plan and described in the Scope of Development.
302. Design Review.
302.1 Developer Submissions. Within the time set forth in the Schedule of
Performance and as a Condition Precedent to disbursement of any portion of the Loans, the
Developer shall submit to the Agency/City any and all plans and drawings which may be required by
the City with respect to any permits and land use entitlements which are required to be obtained to
develop the Improvements, and such plans for the Improvements as required by the City in order for
the Developer to obtain Building Permits for the Improvements (collectively, the "Design
Development Drawings"). Within thirty (30) days after the Agency/City's disapproval or conditional
approval of such plans, the Developer shall revise the portions of such plans identified by the
Agency/City as requiring revisions and resubmit the revised plans to the Agency/City. The Design
Development Drawings shall be consistent with the Site Plan and the approved Basic Concept and
Schematic Drawings.
302.1.1 Special Development Requirements. The Design Development
Drawings shall, to the extent compatible with applicable design requirements of the City of Santa
Ana and the Project Documents, incorporate design elements and building practices that will reduce
the maintenance and utility costs, and also reduce the adverse environmental impacts otherwise
associated with residential construction. Such design elements and practices may include, but are not
limited to passive solar design, environmentally sensitive landscaping, installation of energy efficient
furnaces and water heaters (Energy Star Appliances), and installation of high efficiency toilets.
302.2 City Review and Approval. The City and the Agency shall have all rights
to review and approve or disapprove all Design Development Drawings and other required submittals
in accordance with the Santa Ana Municipal Code and this Agreement, and nothing set forth in this
Agreement shall be construed as the City/Agency's approval of any or all of the Design Development
Drawings.
302.3 Basic Concept and Schematic Drawings. The Basic Concept and
Schematic Drawings for the Project were submitted to the Agency and City prior to the execution of
this Agreement by Developer. Agency and City shall review and approve, conditionally approve or
disapprove the Basic Concept Drawings for the Project (and Developer shall make any required
revisions) within the time set forth in the Schedule of Performance. The Basic Concept and
10
25F-16
Schematic Drawings generally depict all improvements and include the Site Plan, all exterior
elevations, renderings showing the exterior design, architectural style, and appearance of the
affordable housing development, landscaping concepts, and the interior floor plans for each unit to be
developed on the Property. The objective of the Basic Concept and Schematic Drawings prepared
and submitted by the Developer to the City was to provide reasonable opportunity to evaluate the
aesthetic appearance, neighborhood compatibility, and general scope and quality of the Project on the
Property. The Improvements shall be developed in accordance with the approved Basic Concept and
Schematic Drawings and related documents, except for such changes which may be mutually agreed
upon between the Developer and the Executive Director. Any such changes shall be within the
limitations established in the approved Design Development Drawings. In the event of any
inconsistency between the Design Development Drawings and the Basic Concept and Schematic
Drawings, the approved Design Development Drawings shall govern.
302.4 Revisions. Any and all change orders or revisions required by the City and
its inspectors which are required under the Municipal Code and all other applicable Uniform Codes
(e.g. Building, Plumbing, Fire, Electrical, etc.) and under other applicable laws and regulations shall
be included by the Developer in its Design Development Drawings and other required submittals and
shall be completed during the construction of the Improvements.
302.5 Defects in Plans. The Agency and the City shall not be responsible either
to the Developer or to third parties in any way for any defects in the Design Development Drawings,
nor for any structural or other defects in any work done according to the approved Design
Development Drawings, nor for any delays reasonably caused by the review and approval processes
established by this Section 302.
303. Land Use Approvals. Before commencement of construction of the Improvements
or other works of improvement upon the Property, the Developer shall, at its own expense, secure or
cause to be secured any and all land use and other entitlements, permits and approvals which may be
required for the Improvements by the City or any other governmental agency affected by such
construction or work. The Developer shall, without limitation, apply for and secure the following (as
required), and pay all costs, charges and fees associated therewith:
(a) Lot Line Adjustment/Merger;
(b) Developer shall obtain all building and grading permits and pay all
fees required by the City, Orange County and other governmental agencies with jurisdiction over the
Improvements.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the execution of this Agreement
does not constitute the granting of or a commitment to obtain any required land use permits,
entitlements or approvals required by the Agency or the City. Developer acknowledges and agrees
that all plans prepared for the Project (including the Design Development Drawings) shall be subject
to the City's normal planning review process and further that such plans may be subject to review by
the City's Planning Commission.
304. Schedule of Performance. The Developer shall submit all Design Development
Drawings, obtain all permits, commence and complete all construction of the Improvements, and
satisfy all other obligations and conditions of this Agreement within the times established therefore
in the Schedule of Performance attached hereto as Exhibit J and incorporated herein. The Agency
20-17
and City shall perform all of their obligations hereunder within the times established therefore in the
Schedule of Performance.
305. Cost of Construction. Except to the extent otherwise expressly set forth in this
Agreement, all of the cost of the planning, designing, developing and constructing all of the
Improvements, including preparation of the Property and grading, shall be borne solely by the
Developer.
306. Reserved.
307. Completion of Project. Developer shall commence and diligently proceed with
development of the Project. In any event, Developer shall complete the Project not later than the date
established therefor in the Schedule of Performance unless extended by agreement of Agency, City
and Developer.
308. Rights of Access. For purposes of assuring compliance with this Agreement,
representatives of the City and Agency shall have the right of access to the Property, without charges
or fees, at normal construction hours during the period of construction for the purposes of this
Agreement, including but not limited to, the inspection of the work being performed in constructing
the Improvements so long as such City and Agency representatives comply with all safety rules. The
City and Agency (or their representatives) shall, except in emergency situations, notify the Developer
prior to exercising their rights pursuant to this Section 308.
309. Compliance With Laws. The Developer shall carryout the design and construction
of the Improvements in conformity with all applicable laws, including all applicable federal and state
labor standards, the City zoning and development standards, building, plumbing, mechanical and
electrical codes, and all other provisions of the City of Santa Ana Municipal Code, and all applicable
disabled and handicapped access requirements, including without limitation the Americans With
Disabilities Act. 42 U.S.C. Section 12101, et seq., Government Code Section 4450, et seq,
Government Code Section 11135, et seq., the Unruh Civil Rights Act, Civil Code Sections 51, et
seq., and any other applicable Governmental Requirements.
309.1 Prevailing Wage Requirements. Developer shall carry out the
construction through completion of the Improvements and the overall development of the Property in
conformity with all applicable federal, state and local labor laws and regulations, including, without
limitation, as applicable, the requirements to pay prevailing wages under federal law (the
Davis-Bacon Act, 40 U.S.C. Section 3141, et seq., and the regulations promulgated thereunder set
forth at 29 CFR Part 1 (collectively, "Davis-Bacon")) and California law (Labor Code Section 1720,
et seq.). The applicability of federal, state and local prevailing wage laws will be determined based
upon the final financing structure and sources of funding of the Project, as approved by Executive
Director pursuant to Section 311, et seq.
Developer shall be solely responsible, expressly or impliedly, for determining and
effectuating compliance with all applicable federal, state and local public works requirements,
prevailing wage laws, labor laws and standards, and neither Agency nor City makes any
representation, either legally and/or financially, as to the applicability or non-applicability of any
federal, state and local laws to the Project, either onsite or offsite. Developer expressly, knowingly
and voluntarily acknowledges and agrees that neither Agency nor City has previously represented to
Developer or to any representative, agent or affiliate of Developer, or its General Contractor or any
25?-18
subcontractor(s) for the construction or development of the Project, in writing or otherwise, in a call
for bids or otherwise, that the work and construction undertaken pursuant to this Agreement is (or is
not) a "public work," as defined in Section 1720 of the Labor Code or under Davis-Bacon.
Developer knowingly and voluntarily agrees that Developer shall have the obligation
to provide any and all disclosures or identifications with respect to the Project as required by Labor
Code Section 1781 and/or by Davis-Bacon, as the same may be amended from time to time, or any
other similar law or regulation. Developer shall indemnify, protect, pay for, defend (with legal
counsel acceptable to Agency and City) and hold harmless the Indemnitees, from and against any and
all loss, liability, damage, claim, cost, expense and/or "increased costs" (including reasonable
attorneys fees, court and litigation costs, and fees of expert witnesses) which, in connection with the
development, construction (as defined by applicable law) and/or operation of the Project, including,
without limitation, any and all public works (as defined by applicable law), results or arises in any
way from any of the following: (i) the noncompliance by Developer with any applicable local, state
and/or federal law or regulation, including, without limitation, any applicable federal and/or state
labor laws or regulations (including, without limitation, if applicable, the requirement to pay state
and/or federal prevailing wages); (ii) the implementation of Section 1781 of the Labor Code and/or
of Davis-Bacon, as the same may be amended from time to time, or any other similar law or
regulation; and/or (iii) failure by Developer to provide any required disclosure or identification as
required by Labor Code Section 1781 and/or by Davis-Bacon, as the same may be amended from
time to time, or any other similar law or regulation. It is agreed by the parties that, in connection
with the development and construction (as defined by applicable law or regulation) of the Project,
including, without limitation, any and all public works (as defined by applicable law or regulation),
Developer shall bear all risks of payment or non-payment of prevailing wages under applicable
federal, state and local law or regulation and/or the implementation of Labor Code Section 1781
and/or by Davis-Bacon, as the same may be amended from time to time, and/or any other similar law
or regulation. "Increased costs," as used in this Section 309.1, shall have the meaning ascribed to it
in Labor Code Section 1781, as the same may be amended from time to time. The foregoing
indemnity shall survive termination of this Agreement and shall continue after completion of the
construction and development of the Project by Developer.
309.2 Section 3 Compliance. Developer agrees to comply with and to cause the
General Contractor, each subcontractor, and any other contractors and/or subcontractors or agents of
Developer to comply with the requirements of Section 3 of the Housing and Urban Development Act
of 1968, as amended, 12 U.S.C. § 1701u, and the implementing regulations, in connection with the
construction of the Project. Developer shall submit to Agency/City each Construction Contract with
appropriate provisions providing for the construction of the Project in conformance with the terms of
this Agreement, including the Section 3 Clause set forth below. The General Contractor, each
subcontractor, and any other contractors or subcontractors or agents of Developer shall have
provided to the Executive Director the certification in appendix B of 24 CFR Part 24 that neither it
nor its principals is presently debarred, suspended, proposed for debarment, declared ineligible, or
voluntarily excluded from participation from the Project, and Developer shall be responsible for
determining whether each contractor has been debarred.
Section 3 of the Housing and Urban Development act of 1968, 12 U.S.C., 1701u, as
amended by Section 915 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992 requires that
economic opportunities generated by HUD financial assistance for housing and community
development programs be targeted toward low- and very low- income persons. Whenever HUD
assistance generates opportunities for employment or contracting, state and local grantees, as well as
13
25F-19
other recipients of HUD housing assistance funds must, to the greatest extent feasible, provide these
opportunities to low- and very low- income persons and to businesses owned by or employing low-
and very low- income persons. Section 3 applies to projects for which HUD's share of project costs
exceeds $200,000 and contracts and subcontracts awarded on projects for which HUD's share or
project costs exceeds $200,000 and the contract or subcontract exceeds $100,000.
For purposes of this Section 3 Clause and compliance thereto, whenever the word
"contractor" is used it shall mean and include, as applicable, the Developer, and its contractor and
subcontractor(s), if any. The particular text to be utilized in any and all contracts of any contractor
doing work covered by Section 3 shall be in substantially the form of the following, as reasonably
determined by the Agency, or as directed by HUD or its representative, and shall be executed by the
applicable contractor under penalty of perjury:
"The work to be performed under this contract is subject to the
requirements of Section 3 of the Housing and Urban Development
Act of 1968, as amended, 12 U.S.C. 170lu ("Section 3"). The
purpose of Section 3 is to ensure that employment and other
economic opportunities generated by HUD assistance or HUD
assisted projects covered by Section 3, shall, to the greatest extent
feasible, be directed to low-and very low-income persons (inclusive
of Extremely Low Income households and Very Low Income
households served by the Project), particularly persons who are
recipients of HUD assistance for housing.
The parties to this contract agree to comply with HUD's regulations
in 24 CFR part 135, which implement Section 3. As evidenced by
their execution of this contract, the parties to this contract certify that
they are under no contractual or other impediment that would prevent
them from complying with the part 135 regulations.
The contractor agrees to send to each labor organization or
representative of workers with which the contractor has a collective
bargaining agreement or other understanding, if any, a notice advising
the labor organization or workers' representative of the contractor's
commitments under this Section 3 clause, and will post copies of
notices in conspicuous places at the work site where both employees
and applicants for training and employment positions can see the
notice. The notice shall describe the Section 3 preference, shall set
forth minimum number of job titles subject to hire, availability of
apprenticeship and training positions, the qualifications for each; and
the name and location of person(s) taking applications for each of the
position; and the anticipated date the work shall begin.
The contractor agrees to include this Section 3 clause in every
subcontract subject to compliance with regulations in 24 CFR part
135, and agrees to take appropriate action, as provided in an
applicable provision of the subcontract or in this Section 3 clause,
upon a finding that the subcontractor is in violation of the regulations
24 CFR part 135. The contractor will not subcontract with any
254 20
subcontractor where the contractor has notice or knowledge that the
subcontractor has been found in violation of the regulations in 24
CFR part 135.
The contractor will certify that any vacant employment positions,
including training positions, that are filled (a) after the contractor is
selected but before the contract is executed, and (b) with persons
other than those to whom the regulations of 24 CFR part 135 require
employment opportunities to be directed, were not filled to
circumvent the contractor's obligations under 24 CFR part 135.
Noncompliance with HUD's regulations in 24 CFR part 135 may
result in sanctions, termination of this contract for default, and
debarment or suspension from future HUD assisted contracts."
After the foregoing Section 3 Clause, there shall be a signature block for the
contractor, as applicable, the following text shall be included immediately above the signature block:
"The contractor/provider by his/her signature affixed hereto declares under penalty of perjury that
contractor has read the requirements of the Section 3 Clause and accepts all its requirements
contained therein for all of his/her operations related to this contract."
To the extent applicable, the Developer shall comply and/or cause compliance with
Section 3 Clause requirements for the Project. For example, when and if Developer or its
contractor(s)/subcontractor(s) hire(s) full time employees, rather than volunteer labor or materials,
Section 3 is applicable and all disclosure and reporting requirements apply.
309.3 Liens and Stop Notices. The Developer shall not allow to be placed on the
Property or any part thereof any lien or stop notice. If a claim of a lien or stop notice is given or
recorded affecting the Improvements the Developer shall within thirty (30) days of such recording or
service or within five (5) days of the Agency's demand whichever last occurs:
(a) pay and discharge the same; or
(b) affect the release thereof by recording and delivering to the Agency a
surety bond in sufficient form and amount, or otherwise; or
(c) provide the Agency with other assurance which the Agency deems, in
its sole discretion, to be satisfactory for the payment of such lien or bonded stop notice and for the
full and continuous protection of Agency from the effect of such lien or bonded stop notice.
310. Release of Construction Covenants. Promptly after completion of the
Improvements or any portion thereof in conformity with this Agreement, the Agency shall furnish the
Developer with a "Release of Construction Covenants," substantially in the form of Exhibit L hereto
which is incorporated herein by reference. The Agency shall not unreasonably withhold such
Release of Construction Covenants. The Release of Construction Covenants shall be a conclusive
determination of satisfactory completion of the applicable portion of the Improvements and the
Release of Construction Covenants shall so state. Any party then owning or thereafter purchasing,
leasing, or otherwise acquiring any interest in the Property shall not (because of such ownership,
15
25F-21
purchase, lease or acquisition) incur any obligation or liability under this Agreement except for those
continuing covenants as set forth herein and in the Affordability Restrictions.
If the Agency refuses or fails to furnish the Release of Construction Covenants, after written
request from the Developer, the Agency shall, within thirty (30) days of written request therefore,
provide the Developer with a written statement of the reasons the Agency refused or failed to furnish
the Release of Construction Covenants. The statement shall also contain the Agency's opinion of the
actions the Developer must take to obtain the Release of Construction Covenants. The Release of
Construction Covenants shall not constitute evidence of compliance with or satisfaction of any
obligation of the Developer to any holder of any mortgage, or any insurer of a mortgage securing
money loaned to finance the Improvements, or any part thereof. The Release of Construction
Covenants is not a notice of completion as referred to in Section 3093 of the California Civil Code.
311. Financing of the Improvements.
311.1 Approval of Financing. Within the time set forth in the Schedule of
Performance and as a Condition Precedent to the commencement of construction or disbursement of
any proceeds of the Loans, Developer shall submit to Agency and City evidence that Developer has
obtained sufficient equity capital and/or has obtained firm and binding commitments for construction
and permanent financing necessary to undertake the development of the Property and the
construction of the Improvements in accordance with this Agreement. The parties anticipate that
Developer shall apply for and use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain (1) an allocation of tax
exempt bond financing from the California Debt Limit Allocation Committee (CDLAC), (2) an
allocation of Tax Credits from the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee (TCAC), and (3) a
firm commitment for a Senior Loan from a Senior Lender, all as reasonably approved by the
Executive Director based on documentation submitted by Developer. Agency/City shall approve or
disapprove such evidence of financing commitments within thirty (30) days of receipt of a complete
submission. Approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or conditioned. If Agency/City shall
disapprove any such evidence of financing, Agency/City shall do so by Notice to Developer stating
the reasons for such disapproval and Developer shall promptly obtain and submit to Agency/City
new evidence of financing (or terminate this Agreement as permitted by Section 2003). Agency/City
shall approve or disapprove such new evidence of financing in the same manner and within the same
times established in this Section 311.1 for the approval or disapproval of the evidence of financing as
initially submitted to Agency/City. Developer shall close the approved financing prior to or
concurrently with the first disbursement of the Loans.
Such evidence of financing shall include the following: (a) a copy of a legally
binding, firm and enforceable loan commitment(s) from an approved Senior Lender or Letter of
Credit obtained by Developer for 100% of the estimated cost to construct the Improvements, from
unrelated financial institutions for the Senior Loan for financing to fund the construction, operation
and maintenance of the Improvements, subject to such lenders' reasonable, customary and normal
conditions and terms, and/or (b) a certification from the chief financial officer of Developer that
Developer has sufficient funds to complete the construction, operation, and maintenance of the
Improvement and that such funds have been committed to such construction, and/or
(c) documentation showing that Developer has obtained allocations of tax exempt bond financing
from CDLAC and Tax Credits from TCAC, along with evidence that Developer has obtained a
commitment from a tax credit investor to provide equity in exchange for a limited partnership interest
in Developer pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, and/or (d) other documentation satisfactory to
the Agency/City as evidence of other sources of capital sufficient to demonstrate that Developer has
Zs?-ii
adequate funds to cover the difference between the total cost of the construction and completion of
the Improvements, less financing authorized by those loans set forth in subparagraph (a) above.
311.2 No Encumbrances Except Agency recorded documents (Deeds of
Trust/Affordability Restrictions on Transfer of Property). The Developer shall not enter into any
conveyance for financing prior to the Release of Construction Covenants without the prior written
approval of the Agency, which approval Agency agrees to give if any such conveyance for financing
is given to a responsible financial lending institution or person or entity ("Holder"). The Developer
may enter into a conveyance for financing after the completion of the Improvements as evidenced by
the recording of the Release of Construction Covenants without the approval of the Agency.
311.3 Holder Not Obligated to Construct Improvements. The Holder of any
mortgage or deed of trust authorized by this Agreement shall not be obligated by the provisions of
this Agreement to construct or complete the Improvements or any portion thereof, or to guarantee
such construction or completion; nor shall any covenant or any other provision in this Agreement be
construed so as to obligate such Holder. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to construe,
permit or authorize any such Holder to devote the Property to any uses or to construct any
improvements thereon, other than those uses or improvements provided for or authorized by this
Agreement.
311.4 Notice of Default to Mortgagee or Deed of Trust Holders; Right to
Cure. With respect to any mortgage or deed of trust granted by Developer as provided herein,
whenever the Agency may deliver any notice or demand to Developer with respect to any Default by
Developer in completion of construction of the Improvements, the Agency may at the same time
deliver to each holder of record of any mortgage or deed of trust authorized by this Agreement a
copy of such notice or demand. Each such Holder shall (insofar as the rights granted by the Agency
are concerned) have the right, at its option, within sixty (60) days after the receipt of the notice, to
cure or remedy or commence to cure or remedy and thereafter to pursue with due diligence the cure
or remedy of any such Default and to add the cost thereof to the mortgage debt and the lien of its
mortgage. Such Holder shall permitted to undertake or continue the construction or completion of
the Improvements, or any portion thereof, if necessary to conserve or protect the Improvements or
construction already completed without having first expressly assumed Developer's obligations to
the Agency hereunder. Except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, such Holder may
enforce the terms of this Agreement against the Agency only if it has first expressly assumed
Developer's obligations to the Agency under this Agreement by written agreement reasonably
satisfactory to the Agency. Agency shall fund its obligations under this Agreement to any Holder
who undertakes to complete the Improvements. Any such Holder properly completing such
improvement shall be entitled, upon compliance with the requirements of Section 310 of this
Agreement, to a Release of Construction Covenants. It is understood that a Holder shall be deemed
to have satisfied the sixty (60) day time limit set forth above for commencing to cure or remedy a
Developer Default which requires title and/or possession of the Property (or portion thereof) if and to
the extent any such Holder has within such sixty (60) day period commenced proceedings to obtain
title and/or possession and thereafter the Holder diligently pursues such proceedings to completion
and cures or remedies the Default.
311.5 Right of the Agency to Cure Mortgage or Deed of Trust Default. In the
event of a mortgage or deed of trust default or breach by Developer prior to the completion of the
construction of any of the Improvements or any part thereof, Developer shall immediately deliver to
Agency a copy of any mortgage holder's notice of default. If the Holder of any mortgage or deed of
25r-23
trust has not exercised its option to construct, the Agency shall have the right but no obligation to
cure the default. In such event, the Agency shall be entitled to reimbursement from Developer of all
proper costs and expenses incurred by the Agency in curing such default. The Agency shall also be
entitled to a lien upon the Property to the extent of such costs and disbursements. Any such lien shall
be junior and subordinate to the mortgages or deeds of trust pursuant to this Section 311.
311.6 Changes Requested by Holder. In the event that a lender or Holder which
has been approved pursuant to this Section 311, et seq., requires one or more amendments to this
Agreement, or any of the attachments hereto, the Agency agrees to reasonably consider approving
such proposed amendment, and if such proposed amendment(s) does not materially affect the
Agency's interests hereunder, the Agency Executive Director or his or her designee is hereby
authorized to make such amendment(s) without further authorization from the Agency.
311.7 Subordination of Affordability Restrictions. In the event the Executive
Director finds that an economically feasible method of financing for the construction and operation
of the Project without the subordination of the Affordability Restrictions is not reasonably available,
Executive Director may agree to subordinate the covenants contained in the Regulatory Agreement
and the lien of the Loans to the Senior Loan, the Bond Regulatory Agreement and/or the Tax Credit
Regulatory Agreement, subject to the terms of this Section 311.7. Each and any subordination
agreement evidencing or affirming Agency's and City's subordination of the Affordability
Restrictions entered into by Agency and/or City shall contain written commitments which the
Executive Director finds are reasonably designed to protect Agency's and City's investment in the
Project in the event of default; any such subordination agreement(s) shall contain contractual
obligation of such Senior Lender to include, without limitation, the following: (a) concurrent
delivery to Agency and City of a true copy of each and any notice provided by the Senior Lender for
the Project to Developer (as its borrower) during the term of the Senior Loan for the Project; (b) a
reasonably extended cure period and right to Agency and City to cure and assume the Senior Loan,
and/or other senior lien(s) for the Project upon the same terms applicable to the approved financing
to Developer pursuant to the loan documents applicable thereto with such right, but with no
obligation, to the Agency and City being available both from the date of issuance of any notice of
default through and after the recordation of a formal Notice of Default by the Senior Lender for the
Project pursuant to applicable California Code of Civil Procedure foreclosure requirements, and (c) a
right of Agency and City to cure a default on each of the senior loan(s) for the Project prior to
foreclosure and after recordation of a Notice of Default pursuant to applicable California Code of
Civil Procedure requirements; and such cure rights may also include: (d) a right of Agency and City
to negotiate with the Senior Lender(s) for the Project after notice of default from the Senior
Lender(s) and prior to foreclosure, (e) an agreement that if prior to foreclosure of the Senior Loan for
the Project, Agency or City takes title to the Property and cures the default on the senior loan(s) for
the Project, the Senior Lender(s) will not exercise any right it may have to accelerate the Senior Loan
by reason of the transfer of title to Agency or City, and (f) a right of Agency and City to acquire
Developer's interest in the Property from Developer at any time after a material default on the Senior
Loan for the Project.

to Agency/City under the Loan Documents, including any certificate, financial statement, survey,
appraisal or insurance policy, Agency/City shall not be deemed to have warranted or represented the
51
25F-57
sufficiency or legal effect of the same, and no such acceptance or approval shall constitute a warranty
or representation by Agency/City to anyone.
1802. Developer Indemnity. Without limiting Developer's obligations to indemnify the
Indemnitees set forth in Section 1405, Developer shall, at Developer's expense, defend (using
counsel satisfactory to Agency and City), indemnify, assume all responsibility for, and save and hold
the Indemnities harmless from any and all losses, damages, liabilities, claims, causes of action,
judgments, settlements, court costs, demands, defense costs, reasonable attorneys' fees, expert
witness fees, and other legal expenses, costs of evidence of title, costs of evidence of value, and other
expenses which they may suffer or incur and any liability of any kind or nature arising from or
relating to the subject matter of this Agreement and/or any other Project Document or the validity,
applicability, interpretation or implementation hereof or thereon and for any damages to property or
injuries to persons directly or indirectly related to or in connection with the construction of the
Improvements, operation, management, or ownership of the Property, including accidental death
(including reasonable attorneys fees and costs), whether such damage shall accrue or be discovered
before or after termination of this Agreement. Developer shall not be obligated to indemnify the
Indemnitees for property damage or bodily injury to the extent occasioned by the negligence or
willful misconduct of any of the Indemnitees. Developer shall have the obligation to defend any
such action; provided, however, that this obligation to defend shall not be effective if and to the
extent that Developer determines in its reasonable discretion that such action is meritorious or that
the interests of the parties justify a compromise or a settlement of such action, in which case
Developer shall compromise or settle such action in a way that fully protects the Indemnitees from
any liability or obligation. In this regard, Developer's obligation and right to defend shall include the
right to hire (subject to reasonable written approval by City and Agency) attorneys and experts
necessary to defend, the right to process and settle reasonable claims, the right to enter into
reasonable settlement agreements and pay amounts as required by the terms of such settlement, and
the right to pay any judgments assessed against Developer or any other Indemnitees. If Developer
defends any such action, as set forth above, (i) to the extent of Developer's indemnification
obligations as set forth herein, Developer shall indemnify and hold harmless Indemnitees from and
against any claims, losses, liabilities, or damages assessed or awarded against either of them by way
of judgment, settlement, or stipulation and (ii) City and Agency shall be entitled to settle any such
claim only with the written consent of Developer and any settlement without Developer's consent
shall release Developer's obligations under this Section 1802 with respect to such settled claim. The
foregoing agreements by Developer shall remain in effect for the entire Term of this Agreement. At
the request of Developer, City and Agency shall cooperate with and assist Developer in its defense of
any such claim, action, suit, proceeding, loss, cost, damage, liability, deficiency, fine, penalty,
punitive damage, or expense; provided that City and Agency shall not be obligated to incur any
expense in connection with such cooperation or assistance. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Developer shall not be required to indemnify the Agency with respect to actions arising from the
proposal made by the Governor of California to eliminate redevelopment agencies.
1803. Reimbursement of Agency/City. Developer shall reimburse Agency/City
immediately upon written demand for all costs reasonably incurred by Agency/City (including the
reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys, accountants, appraisers and other consultants, whether the
same are independent contractors or employees of City) in connection with the enforcement of the
Loan Documents and all related matters including all claims, demands, causes of action, liabilities,
losses, commissions and other costs against which Agency/City is indemnified under the Loan
Documents. Such reimbursement obligations shall bear interest from the date occurring twenty (20)
days after Agency/City gives written demand to Developer and shall be secured by the Agency/City
52
25F-58
Deed(s) of Trust. Such reimbursement obligations shall survive the cancellation of the Agency
Promissory Note and/or the City Promissory Note, release and reconveyance of the Agency/City
Deed(s) of Trust, issuance of a Release of Construction Covenants, and termination of this
Agreement.
1900. INSURANCE, CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION
1901. Policies Required. While any obligation of Developer under the Project Documents
remains outstanding, Developer shall maintain at Developer's sole expense, with insurers either
(i) admitted in California or (ii) which are not admitted to California but have an A.M. Best Rating of
"A" or above and reasonably approved by the Agency/City, the following policies of insurance in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the City Attorney: [subject to Approval by City Risk
Manager]
(a) worker's compensation insurance and any other insurance required by
law in connection with the construction;
(b) prior to commencement and following completion of the construction,
fire and hazard "all risk" insurance covering 100% of the replacement cost of the Improvements in
the event of fire, lightning, windstorm, vandalism, malicious mischief and all other risks normally
covered by "all risk" coverage policies in the area where the Property is located (including loss by
flood if the Property is in an area designated as subject to the danger of flood);
(c) upon commencement of the construction and at all times prior to
completion of the construction, builder's risk-all risk insurance covering 100% of the replacement
cost of all Improvements (including offsite materials) during the course of construction in the event
of fire, lightning, windstorm, vandalism, earthquake, malicious mischief and all other risks normally
covered by "all risk" coverage policies in the area where the Property is located (including loss by
flood if the Property is in an area designated as subject to the danger of flood);
(d) public liability insurance in amounts reasonably required by
Agency/City from time to time, and in no event less than $1,000,000 for "single occurrence;"
(e) property damage insurance in amounts reasonably required by the
Agency/City from time to time, and in no event less than $1,000,000; and
(f) any other insurance reasonably required by Agency/City.
All such insurance shall provide that it may not be canceled or materially modified without
thirty (30) days prior written notice to Agency/City. The policies required under subparagraphs (b)
and (c) shall include a "lender's loss payable endorsement" (Form 438BFU) in form and substance
satisfactory to Agency/City, showing the Agency and the City as encumbrance, The Agency and the
City shall be named as an additional insured(s) in the policies required under subparagraphs (d) and
(e). Certificates of insurance for the above policies (and/or original policies, if required by
Agency/City) shall be delivered within ten (10) days after demand therefore, and prior to start of any
construction work All policies insuring against damage to the Improvements shall contain an agreed
value clause sufficient to eliminate any risk of co-insurance. No less than thirty (30) days prior to the
expiration of each policy, Developer shall deliver to Agency/City evidence of renewal or
replacement of such policy reasonably satisfactory to City Attorney.
53
25F-59
1902. Agency/City Attorney May Modify. The Agency/City Attorney may modify the
type and amounts of insurance (including reasonable increases in policy limits) required pursuant to
this Section.
1903. Claims and Proceedings. Developer shall give Agency/City immediate notice of
any material casualty to any portion of the Property, whether or not covered by insurance, and of the
initiation or threatened initiation of any proceeding for the condemnation or other taking for public or
quasi-public use of any portion of the Property (collectively, "Condemnation"), and shall provide
Agency/City with copies of all documents which pertain to any such casualty or Condemnation.
Developer shall take all action reasonably required by Agency/City in connection therewith to protect
the interests of Developer and/or City, and Agency/City shall be entitled (without regard to the
adequacy of its security) to participate in any action, claim, adjustment or proceeding and to be
represented therein by counsel of its choice. Developer shall not settle, adjust, or compromise any
claim, action, adjustment or proceeding without prior written approval, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed.
1904. Delivery of Proceeds to Agency/City. In the event that, notwithstanding the
"lender's loss payable endorsement" requirement set forth above, the proceeds of any casualty
insurance policy described herein are paid to Developer, Developer shall, subject to any superior
rights of the Senior Lender, deliver such proceeds to the Agency and City immediately upon receipt.
1905. Application of Casualty Insurance Proceeds. Any proceeds collected ("Proceeds")
under any casualty insurance policy described in this Agreement shall be disbursed to Developer as
provided below, but only upon fulfillment of each of the following conditions ("Restoration
Conditions") within ninety (90) days (unless extended by mutual agreement of Developer and
Agency/City) following, the occurrence of the damage for which the Proceeds are collected:
(a) Developer shall demonstrate to Agency/City's reasonable satisfaction
that the Proceeds (together with amounts deposited by Developer pursuant to subparagraph (b)) will
be adequate to repair the Improvements and to restore the fair market value of the Property, within a
time period reasonably determined by Agency/City, to at least the value it had immediately prior to
sustaining the damage. Such demonstration shall include delivery to Agency/City of (i) plans and
specifications reasonably satisfactory to Agency/City, and (ii) a construction contract in form and
content, and with a contractor, reasonably satisfactory to Agency/City.
(b) To the extent that the Proceeds are insufficient to accomplish the
restoration required above, Developer shall deliver to Agency/City funds ("Shortfall Funds") in the
amount of such shortfall, which funds shall be assigned to City as security for Developer's obligation
hereunder and held and disbursed in the same manlier as the Proceeds.
(c) Developer shall execute such documents as City requires to evidence
and secure Developer's obligation to use all amounts disbursed for the diligent restoration of the
Property.
(d) No Event of Default shall remain uncured.
1906. Method of Disbursement and Undisbursed Funds. Any Proceeds and Shortfall
Funds to be disbursed to Developer shall be held by Agency/ City and disbursed in accordance with
then customary disbursement procedures and related provisions. Any amounts remaining
54
25F-60
undisbursed following completion of such restoration shall be returned to Developer up to the
amount of any Shortfall Funds deposited by Developer, and any other amounts remaining shall either
be paid to Developer or applied by Agency/City against any obligations to Agency/City that are
secured by a lien on the Property, as they elect in their sole and absolute discretion.
1907. Failure to Satisfy Conditions. In the event that Developer fails to fulfill the
Restoration Conditions within ninety (90) days (unless extended pursuant to Section 1905) following
the date on which the damage occurs, the Proceeds shall be applied by Agency/City against any
obligations to Agency/City that are secured by a lien on the Property, and the selection of which such
obligations to apply the Proceeds against shall be made by Agency/City in their sole and absolute
discretion.
1908. Restoration. Nothing in this Article 1900 shall be construed to excuse Developer
from repairing and restoring all damage to the Property in accordance with other Loan Document
provisions, regardless of whether insurance proceeds are available or sufficient.
1909. Condemnation; Treatment of Compensation. Subject to any superior rights of
Senior Lender, Developer hereby assigns to the Agency and City, as security for all obligations to
Agency or City secured by a lien on the Property, all amounts payable to Developer in connection
with any condemnation, and any proceeds of any related settlement (collectively, "Compensation").
Subject to any superior rights of Senior Lender, Developer shall deliver such remaining
Compensation to Agency/City immediately upon receipt. If the taking results in a loss of the
Property to an extent that, in the reasonable opinion of Agency/City, such taking renders or is likely
to render the Property not economically viable or if, in Agency/City's reasonable judgment
Developer's security is otherwise impaired, Agency/City may apply the Compensation received due
to judgment or settlement in connection with any condemnation or other taking to reduce the unpaid
obligations secured in such order as Agency/City may determine, and without any adjustment in the
amount or due dates of payments due under the Note. If so applied, any award in excess of the
unpaid balance of the Note and other sums due to Agency/City shall be paid to Developer or
Developer's assignee. Agency/City shall have no obligation to take any action in connection with
any actual or threatened condemnation or other proceeding.
(a) Notwithstanding the foregoing, as long as the value of Agency/City's
liens are not impaired, any condemnation proceeds may be used by the Developer for repair and/or
restoration of the Project.
(b) Nothwithstanding the foregoing, during the tax credit compliance
period for the Project, as determined under Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code, any
condemnation proceeds may be used by the Developer for repair and/or restoration of the Project.
1910. Waiver of Subrogation. Developer hereby waives all rights to recover against the
Agency or the City (or any officer, employee, agent or representative of Agency or City) for any loss
incurred by Developer from any cause insured against or required by any Loan Document, to be
insured against; provided, however, that this waiver of subrogation shall not be effective with respect
to any insurance policy if the coverage thereunder would be materially reduced or impaired as a
result. Developer shall use its best efforts to obtain only policies which permit the foregoing waiver
of subrogation.
55
25F-61
2000. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES
2001. Events of Default. Subject to the extensions of time set forth in Article 1700, failure
by either party to perform any action or covenant required by this Agreement or any other Project

claiming a Default shall give written notice of Default to the other party specifying the Default
complained of. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the claimant shall not
institute any proceeding against any other party, and the other party shall not be in Default if such

described in subparagraphs (a) and (b) above) under any Loan Document, and such failure is not
cured within thirty (30) days after Developer's receipt of written notice that such obligation was not
performed; provided that, if cure cannot reasonably be effected within such thirty (30)-day period,
such failure shall not be an Event of Default so long as Developer (in any event, within ten (10) days
after receipt of such notice) commences to cure, and thereafter diligently (in any event within ninety
(90) days after receipt of such notice) prosecutes such cure to completion;
(d) Any representation or warranty in any Loan Document proves to have
been incorrect in any material respect when made;
(e) The Property is materially damaged or destroyed by fire or other

(f) Work on the construction ceases for thirty (30) consecutive days for
any reason (other than governmental orders, decrees or regulations, acts of God or any other deity,

aggregate and in the Agency/City's reasonable judgment, threaten to delay the completion of the
construction beyond the required completion date set forth in the Schedule of Performance;
(g) Developer is enjoined or otherwise prohibited by any Governmental
Authority from constructing and/or occupying the improvements and such injunction or prohibition
continues unstayed for sixty (60) days or more for any reason;

without the application or consent of Developer and the appointment continues undischarged or
unstayed for ninety (90) days; or Developer institutes or consents to any bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, dissolution, custodianship, conservatorship,
liquidation, construction or similar proceeding relating to it or any part of its property; or any similar
proceeding is instituted without the consent of Developer and continues undismissed or unstayed for
ninety (90) days; or any judgment, writ, warrant of attachment or execution, or similar process is
issued or levied against any property of Developer and is not released, vacated or fully bonded within
ninety (90) clays after its issue or levy; or

whole or in part and for any reason (except due to repayment in full of the Senior Loan), without the
Executive Director's prior written consent, or (ii) Developer defaults or otherwise fails to perform
any of its duties or obligations under or in connection with any of the Senior Loan documents,
subject to all applicable notice and cure ,periods, or (iii) any of the Senior Loan documents is
amended, supplemented or otherwise modified without Agency/City's prior written consent, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, Agency/City hereby agrees that any cure of any default made or tendered by Developer's
Limited Partner shall be deemed to be a cure by Developer and shall be accepted or rejected on the
same basis as if made or tendered by Developer.

Agency/City may, at its option and in its absolute discretion, do any or all of the following:

comply with any term of that award; and
57
25F-63
(e) Suspend or terminate the award of the tax increment funds if

2003. Termination by the Developer. In the event that the Developer is not in default
under this Agreement or any other Project Document and the Agency and City do not provide the
Loans pursuant to this Agreement; or in the event of any default of the Agency or City prior to the
first disbursement of the Loans, which is not cured within the time set forth in Section 2001 hereof,
and any such failure is not cured within the applicable time period after written demand by the
Developer, then this Agreement may, at the option of the Developer, be terminated by written notice
thereof to the Agency/City. From the date of the written notice of termination of this Agreement by
the Developer to the Agency/City and thereafter this Agreement shall be deemed terminated and
there shall be no further rights or obligations between the parties arising from this Agreement, except
that the parties may pursue any other remedies they may have hereunder.
2004. Termination by the Agency or City. In the event that neither Agency nor City is in
Default under this Agreement, and (i) the Developer (or any successor in interest) assigns or attempts
to assign or transfer this Agreement or any Project Document or any rights therein or in the Property
in violation of Section 1602 of this Agreement; or (ii) one or more of the Conditions Precedent to the

does not submit evidence of financing, certificates of insurance, construction plans, drawings and
related documents as required by this Agreement and within the time set forth in the Schedule of
Performance, in the manner and by the dates respectively provided in this Agreement and such

by the Agency; or (v) the Developer is otherwise in Default of this Agreement and fails to cure such
default within the time set forth in Section 2001 hereof; then this Agreement and any right of the
Developer or any assignee or transferee with respect to or arising out of the Agreement or the
Property, shall, at the option of the Agency/City, be terminated by the Agency/City by notice to the
Developer and thereafter this Agreement shall be deemed terminated and there shall be no further
rights or obligations between the parties, except that the parties may pursue any other remedies they
may have hereunder.
2005. Institution of Legal Actions. In addition to any other rights or remedies and subject
to the restriction otherwise set forth in this Agreement, either party may institute and action at law or

58
25F-64
the Chief Executive Officer of the Managing General Partner of the Developer or in such other
manner as may be provided by law.

liability shall not exceed costs incurred by the Developer in the performance of this Agreement and
shall not extend to compensation for loss of future income, profits or assets; provided, however,
Developer's only remedy for any breach of this Agreement by the Agency/City shall be an action for
specific performance of such party's obligations or exercise of Developer's right to terminate this
Agreement pursuant to Section 2002(f).
2008. Nonrecourse Liability. Neither Developer, nor any partner of Developer, shall have
any personal liability under this Agreement, the Agency Promissory Note, the City Promissory Note,

action to enforce the obligation of Developer to repay the loan evidenced by such documents shall be
enforceable against Developer only to the extent of Developer's interest in the Property.
2009. Cumulative Remedies; No Waiver. Agency/City's rights and remedies under the
Project Documents are cumulative and in addition to all rights and remedies provided by law. The
exercise by Agency/City of any right or remedy shall not constitute a cure or waiver of any default,
nor invalidate any notice of default or any act done pursuant to any such notice, nor prejudice the
Agency or City in the exercise of any other right or remedy. No waiver of any default shall be
implied from any omission by Agency/City to take action on account of such default if such default
persists or is repeated. No waiver of any default shall affect any default other than the default
expressly waived, and any such waiver shall be operative only for the time and to the extent stated.
No waiver of any provision of any Project Document shall be construed as a waiver of any
subsequent breach of the same provision. Agency/City's consent to or approval of any act by
Developer requiring further consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary
Agency/City's consent to or approval of any subsequent act. The Agency or the City's acceptance of
the late performance of any obligation shall not constitute a waiver by Agency/City of the right to
require prompt performance of all further obligations; Agency/City's acceptance of any performance
following the sending or filing of any notice of default shall not constitute a waiver of either party's
right to proceed with the exercise of its remedies for any unfulfilled obligations; and Agency/City's
acceptance of any partial performance shall not constitute a waiver by Agency/City of any rights.
2100. MISCELLANEOUS
2101. Obligations Unconditional and Independent. Notwithstanding the existence at any
time of any obligation or liability of Agency/City to Developer, or any other claim by developer
against Agency/City, in connection with the Loan or otherwise, Developer hereby waives any right it
might otherwise have (a) to offset any such obligation, liability or claim against Developer's
obligations under the Loan Documents, or (b) to claim that the existence of any such outstanding
obligation, liability or claim excuses the nonperformance by Developer of any of its obligations
under the Loan Documents.

the Loan Documents (each, a "Notice") shall be in writing and be delivered to the appropriate party
by personal service or U.S. mail at its address as follows:

2106. Prior Agreements; Amendments; Consents. This Agreement (together with the
other Project Documents and all exhibits and attachments hereto and thereto) contains the entire
agreement between the Agency, City and Developer with respect to the Loan(s) and the Property, and
all prior negotiations, understandings and agreements are superseded by this Agreement and such

agreements, understandings, representations and statements, oral or written, are merged in this
Agreement and shall be of no further force or effect. Each party is entering this Agreement based
60
25F-66
solely upon the representations set forth herein and upon each party's own independent investigation
of any and all facts such party deems material. No modification of any Project Document (including
waivers of rights and conditions) shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the party against
whom enforcement of such modification is sought, and then only in the specific instance and for the
specific purpose given.
2107. Governing Law. All of the Loan Documents shall be governed by, and construed
and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of California and Federal law, whichever is
more stringent. Developer irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the jurisdiction of the Superior
Court of the State of California for the County of Orange or the United States District Court of the
Central District of California, as Agency/City may deem appropriate, in connection with any legal
action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Loan Documents. Assuming
proper service of process, Developer also waives any objection regarding personal or in rem
jurisdiction or venue.
2108. Severability of Provisions. No provision of any Loan Document that is held to be
unenforceable or invalid shall affect the remaining provisions, and to this end all provisions of the
Loan Documents are hereby declared to be severable.
2109. Headings. Article and section headings are included in the Loan Documents for
convenience of reference only and shall not be used in construing the Loan Documents.
2110. Conflicts. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and
those of any other Loan Document, this Agreement, unless otherwise expressly provided, shall
prevail; provided however that, with respect to any matter addressed in both such documents, the fact
that one document provides for greater, lesser or different rights or obligations than the other shall
not be deemed a conflict unless the applicable provisions are inconsistent and could not be
simultaneously enforced or performed.
2111. Conflict of Interest. No member, official or employee of the Agency or City shall
have any personal interest, direct or indirect, in this Agreement, nor shall any such member, official
or employee participate in any decision relating to the Agreement which affects his/her personal
interests or the interests of any corporation, partnership or association in which he/she is directly or
indirectly interested.
2112. Warranty Against Payment of Consideration. Developer warrants that it has not
paid or given, and will not pay or give, any third person any money or other consideration for
obtaining this Agreement.
2113. Nonliability of Agency/City Officials and Employees. No member, official or
employee of Agency/City shall be personally liable to Developer, or any successor in interest, in the
event of any default or breach by Agency/City or for any amount which may become, due to
Developer or successor, or on any obligation under the terms of this Agreement.
2114. Relationship Among Agency, City and Developer. It is hereby acknowledged that
the relationship among the Agency, City and the Developer is not that of a partnership or joint
venture and that the Agency, City and Developer shall not be deemed or construed for any purpose to
be the agent of the other. Accordingly, except as expressly provided herein or in the Attachments
61
25F-67
