to the Developer in respect thereto, and nothing herein shall limit the remedies available
to the Developer in respect thereto.
B. [313] Prohibition Against Transfer of the Site, the Buildings or Structures
Thereon and Assignment of Agreement
The Developer shall not, without prior approval of the Agency, make any total or
partial sale, transfer, conveyance of, or enter into any assignment or ground lease of the
whole or any part of the Site or of the buildings or structures on the Site prior to the
issuance of the Certificate of Completion. Further, prior to any transfer of interest which
results in the Developer no longer being the owner or having a controlling interest in the
developed property, the Developer shall provide the Agency with evidence of the transfer,
assignment and acceptance by the new owner of all of the operational and maintenance
SACity Clerk\Resolutions\Agrmt-Spanos - AFA - Apartments.wpd 23
obligations set out in this Agreement, the Developer Note, Deed of Trust, and Covenants,
Conditions, and Restrictions. This prohibition shall not be deemed to prevent leasing of
the individual apartment units or the granting of temporary or permanent easements or
permits to facilitate the development of the Site.
C. [314] Right of the Agency to Satisfy Other Liens on the Site After Title
Passes
After the conveyance of title by Agency and prior to the completion of construction,
and after the Developer has had written notice and has failed after a reasonable time, but
in any event not less than forty-five (45) days, to challenge, cure, adequately bond against,
or satisfy any liens or encumbrances on the Site which are not otherwise permitted under
this Agreement, the Agency shall have the right, but no obligation to satisfy any such liens
or encumbrances. Notwithstanding the above, the Developer shall have the right to
contest the validity or amounts of any tax, assessment, or encumbrance available to the
Developer in respect thereto.
D. [315] Certificate of Completion
Promptly after the completion of construction of the Project in conformity with this
Agreement (as determined by the Executive Director of the Agency), upon the written
request of the Developer the Agency shall furnish the Developer with the Certificate of
Completion (in the form attached hereto as Attachment No. 9) which evidences and
determines the satisfactory completion of the construction, and development of the Project,
pursuant to the provisions and covenants specified in this Agreement, the Redevelopment
Plan and the California Community Redevelopment Law.
The issuance and recordation of a Certificate of Completion (Attachment No. 9) with
respect to the Project shall not supersede, cancel, amend or limit the continued
effectiveness of any obligations relating to the maintenance, or uses, or payment of
monies, or any other obligations, except for the obligation to complete construction of the
Project as of the time of the issuance of such applicable certificate in accordance with the
requirements of this Agreement.
The Agency shall not unreasonably withhold any Certificate of Completion. If the
Agency refuses or fails to furnish a Certificate of Completion after written request from the
Developer, the Agency shall, within ten (10) days of the written request, provide the
Developer with a written statement of the reasons the Agency refused or failed to furnish
such Certificate of Completion. The statement shall also contain the Agency's opinion of
the action the Developer must take to obtain the Certificate of Completion.
Upon issuance of a Certificate of Completion (Attachment No. 9) for the Project,
construction of the Project shall be deemed to have been completed in conformity with this
Agreement. The Certificate of Completion (Attachment No. 9) is not a Notice of
Completion as referred to in Section 3093 of the California Civil Code. The issuance of
SACity C1erk\Reso1utions\Agrmt-Spanos - AFA - Apartments.wpd
24
a Certificate of Completion shall not affect the continued effectiveness of the Declaration
of Conditions, Covenants and Restrictions (Attachment No. 8) recorded pursuant to this
Agreement.
E. [316] No Encumbrances Except Mortgages. Deeds of Trust. Sales and
Leases -Back or Other Financing for Development
(Reserved - not applicable to this Agreement)
F. [317] Holder Not Obligated to Construct Improvements
The holder of any mortgage, Deed of Trust or other security interest authorized by
this Agreement shall in no way be obligated by the provisions of this Agreement to
construct or complete the Project or to guarantee such construction or completion, nor
shall any covenant or any other provision in the Grant Deed for the Site be construed so
to obligate such holder. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to construe, permit
or authorize any such holder to devote the Site to any uses or to construct any
improvements thereon other than those uses or improvements provided for or authorized
by this Agreement.
G. [318] Notice of Default to Mortgage. Deed of Trust or Other Security
Interest Holders: Right to Cure
Whenever the Agency shall deliver any notice or demand to the Developer with
respect to any breach or default by the Developer in completion of construction of the
Project, the Agency shall at the same time deliver a copy of such notice or demand to each
holder or record of any mortgage, Deed of Trust or other security interest authorized by
this Agreement who has previously made a written request to the Agency therefor. Each
such holder shall (insofar as the rights of the Agency are concerned) have the right, at its
option, within ninety (90) days after the receipt of the notice, to cure or remedy or
commence to cure or remedy any such default and to add the cost thereof to the security
interest debt and the lien on its security interest. In the event there is more than one such
holder, the right to cure or remedy a breach or default of the Developer under this Section
318 shall be exercised by the holder first in priority or as the holders may otherwise agree
among themselves, but there shall be only one exercise of such right to cure and remedy
a breach or default of the Developer under this Section 318. Nothing contained in this
Agreement shall be deemed to permit or authorize such holder to undertake or continue
the construction or completion of the Project (beyond the extent necessary to conserve or
protect the improvements or construction already made) without first having expressly
assumed the Developer's obligations to the Agency by written agreement satisfactory to
the Agency. The holder in that event must agree to complete, in the manner provided in
this Agreement, the Project to which the lien or title of such holder relates and submit
evidence satisfactory to the Agency that it has the qualifications and financial responsibility
necessary to perform such obligations. Any such holder properly completing the Project
shall be entitled, upon written request made to the Agency, to a Certificate of Completion
from the Agency.
S ACity C1erk\Reso1utions\AgmA-Spanos - AFA - Apartments.wpd 25
H. [319] Failure of Holder to Complete Improvements
In any case where, six (6) months after default by the Developer in completion of
construction of the Project under this Agreement, the holder of any mortgage, Deed of
Trust or other security interest creating a lien or encumbrance upon the Site has not
exercised the option to construct, or if it has exercised the option and has not proceeded
diligently with construction, the Agency may purchase the mortgage, Deed of Trust or other
security interest by payment to the holder of the amount of the unpaid debt, plus any
accrued and unpaid interest. If the ownership of the Site has vested in the holder, the
Agency, if it so desires, shall be entitled to a conveyance of the Site from the holder to the
Agency upon payment to the holder of an amount equal to the sum of the following:
(a) The unpaid mortgage, Deed of Trust or other security interest debt at
the time title became vested in the holder (less all appropriate credits, including those
resulting from collection and application of rentals and other income received during
foreclosure proceedings);
(b) All expenses with respect to foreclosure;
(c) The net expenses, if any (exclusive of general overhead), incurred by
the holder as a direct result of the subsequent management of the Site;
(d) The costs of any authorized improvements made by such holder; and
(e) An amount equivalent to the interest that would have accrued on the
aggregate of such amounts had all such amounts become part of the mortgage or Deed
of Trust debt and such debt had continued in existence to the date of payment by the
Agency.
(320] Right of Agency to Cure Mortgage, Deed of Trust or Other Security
Interest Default
In the event of a default or breach by the Developer of a mortgage, Deed of Trust
or other security interest with respect to the Site prior to the completion of the Project, and
the holder has not exercised its option to complete the Project, the Agency may cure the
default prior to completion of any foreclosure. In such event, the Agency shall be entitled
to reimbursement from the Developer of all costs and expenses incurred by the Agency
in curing the default. The Agency shall also be entitled to a lien upon the Site to the extent
of such costs and disbursements. Any such lien shall be subject to mortgages, Deeds of
Trust or other security interests executed for the sole purpose of obtaining funds to
purchase and develop the Site as authorized herein.

FORM OF PROMISSORY NOTE SECURED BY DEED OF TRUST
La Quinta, California
August 3, 1999
On (the "Maturity Date"), for money advanced and value
received, the undersigned (the "Promisor"), promises to pay to the La Quinta
Redevelopment Agency (the "Holder"), or to order at 78-495 Calle Tampico, La Quinta,
California 92253, or any other place designated in a writing submitted by Holder to
Promisor, the principal sum of $217,723, with no interest on the principal amount;
provided, however, that the payment of the principal sum shall be waived and the
obligation deemed for all purposes fully satisfied after a time period of thirty (30) years and
upon performance by Promisor of considerations and covenants provided in the Affordable
Housing Agreement for Apartments executed by and between the Promisor and the
Holder, dated the same date as this Developer Note and executed concurrently herewith
(the "Affordable Housing Agreement"), or upon termination of the Affordable Housing
Agreement under its terms.
— Principal and interest payable under this Developer Promissory Note, if any, shall
be paid in lawful money of the United States of America. There shall be no prepayment
of this Developer Promissory Note.
This Developer Promissory Note is secured by, among other things, the Deed of
Trust and Security Agreement with Assignment of Rents and Agreements dated the same
date as this Developer Promissory Note, executed by Promisor, as trustor, in favor of
Holder, as beneficiary (the "Deed of Trust"), and encumbering the fee interest in the real
property described in the Deed of Trust (the "Land"). The Holder will be entitled to the
benefits of the security provided by the Deed of Trust and will have the right to enforce the
covenants and agreements of Promisor contained in the Deed of Trust and the Affordable
Housing Agreement.
If:
a. Promisor fails to pay when due any sums payable under this Developer Promissory
Note; or
b. an Event of Default (as defined in the Deed of Trust) occurs; or
C. a default under the Affordable Housing Agreement occurs which is not cured within
the applicable cure period set forth therein;
then Holder, at its sole option, shall have the right to declare all sums owing under this
Developer Promissory Note immediately due and payable. However, if any document
related to this Developer Promissory Note (including, but not limited to, the Affordable
SACity C1erk\Reso1utions\Agmt-Spanos - AFA- Apartments.wpd 43
Housing Agreement) provides for the automatic acceleration of payment of sums owing
under this Developer Promissory Note, all sums owing shall be automatically due in
accordance with the terms of that document.
Promisor shall pay to Holder all sums owing under this Developer Promissory Note,
if not waived, without deduction, offset, or counterclaim of any kind. The advance of
money evidenced by this Developer Promissory Note and secured by the Deed of Trust
shall in no manner make Holder the partner or joint venturer of Promisor.
If any attorney is engaged by Holder to enforce or construe any provision of this
Developer Promissory Note, the Deed of Trust, the Affordable Housing Agreement or any
other Security Documents (as defined in the Deed of Trust) or as a consequence of any
Event of Default, with or without the filing of any legal action or proceeding, then Promisor
shall immediately pay to Holder on demand all reasonable attorney fees and other costs
incurred by Holder, together with interest.
No previous waiver or failure or delay by Holder in acting with respect to the terms
of this Developer Promissory Note, the Deed of Trust or the Affordable Housing Agreement
shall constitute a waiver of any breach, default, or failure of condition under this Developer
Promissory Note, the Deed of Trust or the Affordable Housing Agreement. A waiver of any
term of this Developer Promissory Note, the Deed of Trust or the Affordable Housing
Agreement must be made in writing and shall be limited to the express written terms of the
waiver. If there are any inconsistencies between the terms of this Developer Promissory
Note and the terms of the Deed of Trust or the Affordable Housing Agreement, the terms
of this Developer Promissory Note shall prevail.
All notice required or permitted in connection with this Developer Promissory Note
shall be in writing and shall be given at the place and in the manner provided in the Deed
of Trust for the giving of notices.
If this Developer Promissory Note is executed by more than one person or entity as
Promisor, the obligations of each person or entity shall be joint and several. No person
or entity shall be a mere accommodation maker, but each shall be primarily and directly
liable. Promisor waives presentment; demand; notice of dishonor; notice of default or
delinquency; notice of acceleration; notice of protest and nonpayment; notice of costs,
expenses, or losses and interest; notice of interest on interest and late charges; and
diligence in taking any action to collect any sums owing under this Developer Promissory
Note or in proceeding against any of the rights or interests to properties securing payment
of this Developer Promissory Note. Time is of the essence with respect to every provision
of this Developer Promissory Note. This Developer Promissory Note shall be construed
and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California, except to the extent
that Federal law preempts state law, and all persons and entities in any manner obligated
under this Developer Promissory Note consent to the jurisdiction of any Federal or State
Court within California having proper venue and also consent to service of process by any
means authorized by California or Federal law.
SACity Clerk\Resolutions\Agent-Spanos - AFA - Apartrnents.wpd 44
Promisor shall not be personally liable for the payment of the indebtedness or any
obligations evidenced by this Developer Promissory Note or the Affordable Housing
Agreement, and any judgment or decree in any action brought to enforce the obligation of
Promisor to pay the indebtedness shall be enforceable against Promisor and the partners
of the Promisor, if any, only to the extent of Promisor's interest in the Land and any other
collateral pledged, encumbered, or otherwise covered by the Deed of Trust. Any judgment
or decree shall not be subject to execution, or be a lien, on the assets of Promisor and the
partners of the Promisor, if any, other than Promisor's interest in the Land and any other
collateral pledged, encumbered, or otherwise covered by the Deed of Trust.
Nothing in the preceding paragraph shall affect or limit the rights of Holder to
enforce any of Holder's rights or remedies with respect to any portion of the Land or any
other collateral pledged, encumbered, or otherwise covered by the Deed of Trust.

ADDENDUM TO SHORT FORM DEED OF TRUST
AND ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS
The following provisions are incorporated into that certain Short Form Deed of Trust
and Assignment of Rents attached hereto executed on , 1999 by The Spanos
Corporation, a California corporation ("Trustor") in favor of the La Quinta Redevelopment
Agency ("Beneficiary"):
Use of Property. Trustor hereby warrants and represents that it shall, at times
during the term of this Deed of Trust, use the property which constitutes the
collateral hereunder ("Property") in full and strict conformity with all applicable
ordinances, laws, statutes, regulations, and governmental requirements. Trustor
further warrants that it shall use the Property during the term hereof in strict
conformity with the terms set forth in that certain Affordable Housing Agreement
("AHA") dated concurrently herewith by and between Trustor and Beneficiary. Any
default of Trustor under the terms of said AHA, if not cured within the time specified
in the AHA for such cure, shall be deemed a breach of Trustor's obligations under
this Deed of Trust.
2. Performance by Trustor. Trustor will faithfully perform every covenant to be
performed by Trustor under any lien or encumbrance that Beneficiary reasonably
believes may be prior and superior to or on a parity with the lien or charge of this
Deed of Trust. A breach of or default under any such lien or encumbrance that
exists after any applicable grace period in the pertinent instrument has expired will
constitute an event of default under this Deed of Trust. If Trustor fails to do so,
Beneficiary, without demand or notice, and in its sole judgment, may do any things
required by Trustor by any of the provisions in this Deed of Trust and incur and pay
expenses in connection with such provisions, and hold Trustor responsible for
same.
3. Subordination. This Deed of Trust and all covenants, restrictions and/or regulatory
agreements executed by Trustor in favor of Beneficiary in connection with the
Property are expressly and shall be automatically subordinated to any deed of trust
securing the repayment of construction financing for the development of the
Property in accordance with the AHA, any permanent financing used to repay any
such construction financing, any purchase money mortgage placed on the Property
by any successor in interest to Trustor in ownership of the Property or any other
refinancing of any of the foregoing (collectively referred to hereinafter as the
"Subordinating Loans"). The proceeds of the Subordinating Loans shall be used
only to construct and/or repair Improvements, reimburse Trustor for construction or
development costs, repay other liens that are senior to this Deed of Trust, or
provide for purchase money upon sale of the Property and the Improvements. The
total amount of the Subordinating Loans shall not exceed 90% of the then
appraised value of the Property and the Improvements as set forth in an MAI
Appraisal provided by Trustor or, in the case of a purchase money loan, 90% of the
then applicable purchase price for the Property and the Improvements. The interest
S ACity C1erk\Resolutions\Agrmt-Spanos - AFA - Apartments.wpd 49
rate charged on the Subordinating Loans shall not exceed the prime rate charged
by the Bank of America plus 5%, exclusive of late charges, penalties or fees
payable in case of default, shall have a term of not more than thirty (30) years, and
may provide for periodic payments of principal and interest, interest only and/or
may provide for balloon payments. The maximum loan fees on the Subordinating
Loans shall not exceed 5% of the relevant loan amount.
For the purpose of implementing the aforementioned subordination, by
accepting this Deed of Trust, Beneficiary agrees that in consideration of the
Trustor's execution and delivery of this Deed of Trust, as long as Trustor is not then
in default, Beneficiary shall from time to time execute in recordable form and
deliver to Trustor within fifteen (15) days of receipt of the request therefor, an
agreement expressly subordinating the lien or charge of this Deed of Trust to the
lien or charge of any lender under any Subordinating Loan, and said lender shall
upon receipt of said agreement, be entitled to record said agreement to evidence
the subordination as described in this paragraph. Upon recording, any such
subordination agreement shall prevail over the provisions otherwise set forth in this
Deed of Trust.
4. Books and Records. Trustor will maintain complete books and records reflecting
Trustor's compliance with the terms of the AHA and this Deed of Trust, in a form
satisfactory to Beneficiary, and furnish to Beneficiary any reasonable reports
requested by Beneficiary to document Trustor's compliance with the terms of the
AHA and this Deed of Trust. Beneficiary shall have the right, not more than twice
per year and upon not less than three (3) business days' notice, to inspect Trustor's
records for the purpose of determining Trustor's compliance with the terms of the
AHA and this Deed of Trust. Any such inspection shall be done during normal
business hours and shall not unreasonably interfere with Trustor's operation of the
Property. In the event that such inspection shows that Trustor has complied with
the terms of the AHA and this Deed of Trust, then the cost of such inspection shall
be borne by Beneficiary. If said inspection shows that Trustor is in material default
of any provision of the AHA or this Deed of Trust, then the cost of said inspection
shall be borne by Trustor, and Trustor shall pay said expenses within ten (10) days
of written demand therefor, and if Trustor fails to so pay said costs, said costs shall
bear interest at the maximum rate allowed by law until paid in full.
5. Hazardous Materials. Trustor hereby warrants and covenants that, throughout the
term of this Deed of Trust, there shall be no use, storage, generation, manufacture,
disposal, discharge, release or threatened release of any Hazardous Materials on,
around or under the Property except in strict conformity with all applicable, federal,
state and local laws, rules, statutes and regulations. For purposes of this Deed of
Trust, "Hazardous Materials" shall have the meaning set forth in Section 214(5) of
the AHA. Trustor agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold Beneficiary and Trustee
harmless from all losses, costs, claims, damages, penalties, liabilities, causes of
action, judgments, court costs, attorney fees and other legal expenses incurred as
the result of Trustor's breach of the provisions contained in this paragraph 5.
