5.7 Developer Responsibility For Project Costs. The Developer acknowledges that
the costs of developing the Project may exceed the financing or other funding sources available
to the Developer for acquisition of the Property and development of the Project. Developer
additionally acknowledges that the financing or other funding sources available to Developer for
acquisition of the Property and development of the Project may be different in type or amount
45636.04000\6008]47.4 27
from those set forth in this Agreement. Accordingly, Developer acknowledges and agrees that
Developer shall be responsible for paying all of the costs of acquisition of the Property and

engineering, demolition of existing or other improvements on the Property, grading,
construction or installation of public improvements, construction and all other activities related
to development of the Project on the Property.
5.9 Completion Certificate.
5.9.1 Completion Certificate for Each New Home. Following completion
of all common area improvements for the Project and the issuance of a final Certificate of
Occupancy for a particular New Home in the Project by the City, Developer may request that the
Agency inspect such completed New Home and issue a Completion Certificate for that particular
New Home. Following the Agency's receipt of such a written request from Developer, the
Executive Director shall promptly cause the particular New Home to be inspected as deemed
appropriate by the Executive Director, in his or her sole and absolute discretion, to determine
whether or not the New Home has been completed in compliance with this Agreement. If the
Executive Director determines that the New Home is complete and in compliance with this
Agreement, the Agency authorizes the Executive Director to issue a Completion Certificate for
the particular New Home to Developer. If the Executive Director determines that the New Home
is not complete or not in compliance with this Agreement, the Agency authorizes the Executive
Director to send Notice of each non -conformity to Developer, within the later of (a) fifteen (15)
calendar days following Agency's receipt of Developer's written request for a Completion
Certificate; or (b) three (3) Business Days following the next regularly scheduled meeting of
Agency for which such matter may be legally and reasonably placed on the agenda of such
meeting for Agency consideration. The Notice shall contain the Executive Director's opinion of
the action(s) Developer must take to obtain a Completion Certificate from the Executive Director
for the particular New Home. If the reason for Developer's failure to complete the particular
New Home in accordance with this Agreement is confined to the immediate unavailability of
specific items or materials for construction or landscaping at a price reasonably acceptable to
Developer or other minor Punchlist Work, the Agency authorizes the Executive Director, in his
or her sole and absolute discretion, to issue a Completion Certificate upon the posting of a bond
or irrevocable standby letter of credit by Developer, in form and substance reasonably acceptable
to the Executive Director, in an amount representing the fair value of the work on the particular
New Home remaining to be completed, as reasonably determined by the Executive Director. If
the Executive Director fails to provide the Notice required in this Section 5.9.1, within the
specified time period, Developer shall be deemed, conclusively and without further action of the
Agency or the Executive Director, to have satisfied the requirements of this Agreement with
45636.04000\6008147.4 28
respect to the construction of the particular New Home, as if a Completion Certificate had been
issued for the particular New Home by the Executive Director pursuant to this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.9.1 or any other provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, neither the Agency nor its Executive Director shall be required to
issue a Completion Certificate for any New Home, unless and until all of the common area,
landscaping and parking improvements for the Project are complete and the City has approved
such improvements for use and occupancy.
5.9.2 Effect. A Completion Certificate shall only be evidence of the
Agency's conclusive determination of satisfactory completion of the construction of the subject
New Home in the Project in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. A Completion
Certificate shall not constitute a Notice of Completion under California Civil Code Section 3093,
nor shall it act to terminate the continuing reservations, covenants, restrictions or conditions
contained in the Agency Grant Deed, Regulatory Agreement or any other instruments recorded
against the Property or set forth in this Agreement or otherwise. A Completion Certificate is not
evidence of the compliance of the subject New Home with any Laws or Approvals. A
Completion Certificate shall not evidence the satisfaction of any obligation of Developer to the
Agency under this Agreement or otherwise, other than Developer's obligation to complete the
construction of the subject New Home. After the recordation of a Completion Certificate for a
particular New Home, any Person then owning or thereafter purchasing, leasing or otherwise
acquiring any interest in the subject New Home shall not (because of such ownership, purchase
or lease) incur any obligation or liability under this Agreement regarding construction of the
subject New Home, but such Person shall be bound by any other reservations, covenants,
conditions, restrictions and interests affecting the subject New Home pursuant to this Agreement,
the Agency Grant Deed, the Regulatory Agreement or otherwise.

equivalent, if such publication ceases to be published) minimum financial strength rating of "A-"
45636.04000\6008147.4 29
and a minimum financial size category of "IX" may be accepted, if Developer evidences to
Agency a reasonable need to use such non -admitted or surplus lines carriers, rather than insurers
admitted by the State Department of Insurance. Developer may provide any insurance under a
"blanket" or "umbrella" insurance policy, provided that: (i) such policy or a certificate of such

any insurance required by this Agreement expires, is cancelled or its liability limits are reduced
or exhausted, Developer shall deliver to Agency evidence of such Party's maintenance of all
insurance this Agreement requires. Each insurance policy required by this Agreement shall state
or be endorsed to state that coverage shall not be cancelled, suspended, voided, reduced in
coverage or in limits, except after thirty (30) calendar days' advance written notice of such action
has been given to Agency by certified mail, return receipt requested; provided; however, that
only ten (10) days' advance written notice shall be required for any such action arising from non-
payment of the premium for the insurance. Phrases such as "endeavor to" and "but failure to
mail such notice shall impose no obligation or liability of any kind upon the company" shall not
be included in the cancellation wording of any certificates or policies of insurance or
endorsements to such policies applicable to the Agency Parties pursuant to this Agreement.

carrier providing any Builder's Risk Insurance, Worker's Compensation Insurance or Property
Insurance coverage under this Agreement to endorse their applicable policy(ies) with a Waiver
of Subrogation with respect to the Agency Parties, if not already in the policy. To the extent that

4 5636.04 000160 0 8 1 4 7.4 31
provision of such insurance preclude Agency from taking such other actions as are available to it
under any other provision of this Agreement or otherwise at law or in equity.

necessary to provide such representation. Even though the Indemnitor shall defend the Claim,
Indemnitee may, at its option and its own expense, engage separate counsel to advise it regarding
the Claim and its defense. The Indemnitee's separate counsel may attend all proceedings and
meetings. The Indemnitor's counsel shall actively consult with the Indemnitee's separate
counsel.

Indemnitor's defense of the Indemnitee.

any liability.

twelve (12) months. However, even if Agency allows temporary rental of an Affordable Home,

Deficiency regarding Owner's Affordable Home, Agency may send Notice to Owner of such
Maintenance Deficiency. If Owner fails to cure or commence and diligently pursue to cure the
Maintenance Deficiency within thirty (30) calendar days following its receipt of Notice of the
Maintenance Deficiency, Agency may conduct a public hearing, following transmittal of Notice
of the public hearing to Owner, at least ten (10) days prior to the scheduled date of such public
hearing, to verify whether a Maintenance Deficiency exists regarding Owner's Affordable
Home. If, upon the conclusion of the public hearing, Agency finds that a Maintenance
Deficiency exists regarding Owner's Affordable Home and remains uncured, Agency shall have

3.12 Only Purchase Monev Encumbrances. Owner shall only be allowed to encumber
its Affordable Home with Purchase Money Deeds of Trust. Encumbering the title to an
Affordable Home with other than Purchase Money Deeds of Trust is prohibited and shall
constitute a Monetary Default under this Declaration. The outstanding balance of the Owner's
then current Purchase Money Loan shall never exceed the Purchase Price paid by such Owner to
acquire the subject Affordable Home. Owner acknowledges and agrees by accepting a Transfer
of an Affordable Home subject to this Declaration that Agency has a substantial interest in
promoting stability of ownership of the Owner's Affordable Home and that the restriction on
encumbrance in this Section 3.12 is reasonable and reasonably calculated to avoid potential
foreclosure and sale of the Owner's Affordable Home.

refinanced; (c) the entirety of the gross proceeds of the refinancing loan, less reasonable and
customary costs of processing the refinancing loan, obtaining appraisals, and the like not
exceeding three percent (3%) of the refinancing loan amount, are used to refinance the entire
balance of the Owner's then current Purchase Money Loan (no "cash out" to Owner and the
Affordable Home is completely released from the lien of the then current Purchase Money Deed
of Trust securing the loan being refinanced); (d) the refinancing loan does not provide Owner
with the ability to obtain cash advances or other "cash out" options; and (e) Owner's monthly
principal and interest expenses or loan term are reduced relative to the same elements of the loan
being refinanced. A refinancing loan obtained by Owner that satisfies all of the requirements of
this Section 3.13 shall, upon closing of such loan, be considered Owner's then current Purchase
Money Loan and the deed of trust securing such refinancing loan shall be considered the then
current Purchase Money Deed of Trust.
4. COVENANTS RUN WITH THE LAND. The Parties hereby declare their mutual
specific intent that the covenants, conditions, restrictions, reservations and agreements set forth
in this Declaration are part of a plan for the promotion and preservation of affordable housing
within the territorial jurisdiction of the Agency and that each shall be deemed covenants running
with the land of the Property and each Affordable Home, binding upon each successor -in -interest
of Developer, including each Owner, for the duration of the Affordability Period. Regardless of
classification or characterization, each of the covenants, conditions, restrictions and agreements
contained in this Declaration touch and concern the land of the Property and each Affordable
Home, and each of them is expressly declared to be for the benefit and in favor of the Agency for
the duration of the Affordability Period, regardless of whether or not the Agency is or remains an
owner of any land or interest in land to which such covenants, conditions, restrictions or
agreements relate. The Agency, in the event of any Default or breach of this Declaration, has the
right to exercise all of the rights and remedies, and to maintain any actions at law or suits in
equity or other proper proceedings, to enforce the curing of such Default or breach, as provided
in this Declaration, at law or in equity. Each and every contract, deed or other instrument
hereafter executed covering or conveying all or any portion of or any interest in the Property or
an Affordable Home shall incorporate all of the provisions of this Declaration, either expressly
or by reference, and any contract, deed or other instrument transferring any estate or interest in
an Affordable Home, shall conclusively be deemed to have been executed, delivered and
Exhibit G
45636,04000A6008147.4
accepted subject to the agreements, covenants, conditions, reservations, and restrictions of this
Declaration, regardless of whether such agreements, covenants, conditions, reservations and
restrictions are set forth in or referenced such contract, deed or other instrument.
5. AGENCY REMEDIES. If an Event of Default occurs, the Agency shall have the right
to exercise any or all of the remedies described in this Section 5, all cumulative (so exercise of
one remedy shall not preclude exercise of another remedy), in addition to such other remedies as
may be available at law or in equity, under any other provisions of this Declaration or pursuant to
the Agency Grant Deed or the DDA.
5.1 Suits Before End of Affordability Period. The Agency may sue the defaulting
Party for damages or other relief, from time to time, at the Agency's election, without
terminating this Declaration, including by mandamus or other suit, action or proceeding at law or
in equity, to require the defaulting Party to perform the covenants or agreements or observe the
conditions or restrictions of this Declaration, or enjoin any acts or things that may be unlawful or
in violation of the rights of the Agency under this Declaration; or by other action at law or in
equity, as necessary or convenient to enforce the covenants, agreements, conditions or
restrictions of this Declaration.
5.2 Receipt of Moneys. No receipt of money by the Agency from any Person after
any Notice of Default to a Party shall affect any Notice previously given to such Party, or waive
the Agency's right to enforce payment or deposit of any amount payable or later falling due, or
the Agency's right to enter the Property or an Affordable Home, it being agreed that after service
of Notice of Default or the commencement of suit or proceedings, or after final order or
judgment, the Agency may demand, receive, and collect any moneys due or thereafter falling
due, without in any manner affecting such Notice, proceeding, order, suit or judgment, all such
moneys collected being deemed payments on account of the applicable Party's liability to the
Agency.
5.3 No Waiver. No failure by the Agency to insist upon strict performance of any
condition, covenant, agreement, restriction or reservation of this Declaration or to exercise any
right or remedy upon a Default and no acceptance of full or partial payment of any amount due
or becoming due to the Agency during the continuance of any such Default shall waive any such
Default or such condition, covenant, agreement, restriction or reservation. No obligation of a
Party under this Declaration shall be modified and no Default, shall be waived, except by a
written instrument signed by the Agency. No waiver of any Default shall modify this
Declaration. Each and every covenant, agreement, condition, restriction and reservation of this
Declaration shall continue in full force and effect with respect to any other then -existing or
subsequent Default of such condition, covenant, agreement, restriction or reservation of this
Declaration.
5.4 Damages. The Agency may recover from each other Party all damages the
Agency incurs by reason of such Party's Default and reimbursement of the Agency's reasonable
out of pocket costs, including reasonable attorney fees. The Agency may recover such damages
at any time after another Party's Default, including after the expiration of the Affordability
Period. Notwithstanding any applicable law to the contrary, the Agency need not commence
separate actions to enforce another Party's obligations for each amount or payment not paid, or
Exhibit G'
45636.04000\6008147.4
each month's accrual of damages and costs for the other Party's Default, but may bring and
prosecute a single combined action for all such damages and costs.
5.5 Inunction of Breaches. Whether or not an Event of Default has occurred, the
Agency may obtain a court order enjoining each other Party from continuing any Default or from
committing any threatened Default.
5.6 Specific Enforcement. Developer and Owner agree that specific enforcement of
their respective non -monetary obligations under this Declaration is one of the reasons that the
Agency entered into this Declaration and that, if Developer or Owner Defaults or breaches in
performance or failure to perform any such obligation, potential monetary damages to the
Agency, as well as to prospective Qualifying Households, would be difficult, if not impossible,
to evaluate and quantify. Therefore, in addition to any other relief to which the Agency may be
entitled as a consequence of a Default by Developer or Owner under this Declaration, Developer
and each Owner agree to the imposition of the remedy of specific performance against Developer
or any Owner under this Declaration.
5.7 Enforcement. The Agency or the City, as successor in interest to the Agency,
shall have the power to enforce this Declaration and no other Person shall have any right or
power to enforce any provision of this Declaration on behalf of the Agency or the City or to
compel the Agency or the City to enforce any provision of this Declaration against Developer,
Owner or the Affordable Homes, except to the extent required or authorized by Health and
Safety Code Section 33334.3(0(7).
