The Tenant and/or the Developer shall be entitled, without separate payment to the Landlord for tap or connection fees, to tap into the existing lines, facilities and systems of applicable electric, gas, cable, water, sewer, sewer treatment and other utilities serving the Property, provided the Tenant and/or the Developer remains responsible for payment of such fees therefor. ARTICLE 5. USE, CHARACTER, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF IMPROVEMENTS Section 5.1 Discretion Retained by Agency. (a) Agency Redevelopment of the Property. The Parties recognize and acknowledge that the manner in which the Property and the Improvements are developed, used and operated are matters of critical concern to the Agency by reason of (1) the prominence of the location of the Property, and (2) the impact which the Improvements are expected to have upon the Project Area and surrounding properties 773\106\467074.4 10

and upon the economic development of the surrounding area. In order to give the Agency assurance that the Property will be redeveloped in accordance with the Community Redevelopment Law and the Redevelopment Plan, the Landlord agrees that at all times during the Term of this Lease, the Agency may enter into the Agency Development Documents, and any amendment thereto, in the sole discretion of the Agency (and without the approval or consent of the Landlord). (b) Landlord Cooperation. The Landlord agrees and acknowledges that it is in the best interests of the Parties that the Agency promptly cause the redevelopment of the Property. The Landlord further agrees and acknowledges that, as of the Lease Commencement Date, the Agency desires to redevelop the Property by causing the Developer to construct and operate an affordable housing project consisting of approximately sixty (60) to eighty (80) units, and related improvements, at the Site, a portion of which shall be located on the Property. The Landlord further agrees to cooperate in good faith with the Agency, the Developer, the Developer's lenders, and all other parties hired or retained by the Agency and/or the Developer for the redevelopment of the Site. Section 5.2 Limitations on Use. During the term of this Lease, the Property shall only be used for the development and operation of the Improvements as reasonably determined by the Agency.

Section 5.4 Assistance in Making Payments. The Parties acknowledge that Developer will be responsible for making various payments to third parties, such as tax and utility payments. In case any person or entity to whom any sum is directly payable by the Developer (e.g., a tax collector or utility company) shall refuse to accept payment of such sum from the Developer (due to the fact that the Developer is not the fee owner of the Property or for any other reason), the Agency shall thereupon give written notice of such fact to the Landlord and the Agency shall cause the Developer to pay such sum directly to Landlord at the address specified in Section 13.1 hereof, and Landlord shall thereupon pay such sum to such person or entity. Section 5.5 Permitted Contests. The Tenant and/or the Developer shall not be required to pay, discharge or remove any taxes (including penalties and interest) upon or against the Improvements, or any part thereof, so long as the Tenant and/or the Developer shall in good faith contest the same or the validity thereof by appropriate 773\106\467074.4 11

legal proceedings and shall give to the Landlord prompt notice in writing of such contest. The Tenant shall cause the Developer to, prior to the date such taxes are due and payable, meet all requirements for contest imposed by the taxing entity whose tax is being contested (including, without limitation, depositing any sums required by such taxing entity). The Landlord shall cooperate with the Tenant in providing the Tenant information in connection with contests permitted under this Section 5.5. Section 5.6 No Hazardous Materials. The Tenant hereby represents and warrants to the Landlord that, at all times from and after the Lease Commencement Date, the Tenant shall not use the Property as a site for the use, generation, manufacture, storage, treatment, release, discharge, disposal, transportation or presence of any Hazardous Materials, in violation of any Hazardous Materials Laws. ARTICLE 6. TITLE TO IMPROVEMENTS; QUIET ENJOYMENT; INSPECTIONS. Section 6.1 During the Term. The Landlord hereby grants to the Agency, without warranty express or implied, any right, title, or interest that the Landlord has or may have in the Improvements now or hereafter located on the Property, which Improvements are and shall at all times during the Term be deemed real property. Notwithstanding any provision in this Lease to the contrary, the Improvements and all alterations, additions, equipment and fixtures built, made or installed by the Agency and/or the Developer in, on, under or to the Property or the Improvements shall be the sole property of the Agency and/or the Developer until the expiration of the Term or other termination of this Lease. It is the intent of the Parties hereto that this Lease shall create a constructive notice of severance of the Improvements from the Property without the necessity of a deed from the Landlord after the Improvements have been constructed. Section 6.2 After the Term. Upon the expiration of the Term or other termination of the Lease, the Improvements shall be deemed to be and shall automatically become the property of the Landlord, without cost or charge to the Landlord. The Landlord agrees that the Agency and/or the Developer, at any time prior to the sixtieth (60th) day after the expiration or other termination of this Lease, may remove from the Property, the Personal Property, and any and all equipment which the Agency and/or the Developer has furnished for maintenance purposes, provided that the Agency and/or the Developer shall repair any physical damage to the Property caused by the removal of such equipment and property. The Tenant agrees to execute (or to use commercially reasonably good faith efforts to cause the Developer to execute), at the request of the Landlord at the end of the Term, a quitclaim deed of the Improvements to the Landlord to be recorded at the Landlord's option and expense and any other documents that may be reasonably required by the Landlord or the Landlord's 773\106\467074.4 12

title company to provide the Landlord title to the Property and the Improvements free and clear of all monetary liens and monetary encumbrances not caused or agreed to by the Landlord. In no event shall the Landlord have any ownership interest in or to the Adjacent Property or the improvements thereon. Section 6.3 Benefits of Improvements During Term. The Landlord acknowledges and agrees that any and all depreciation, amortization, tax credits and other tax benefits for federal or state tax purposes relating to the Improvements located on the Property and any and all additions thereto, substitutions therefor, fixtures therein and other property relating thereto shall be deducted or credited exclusively to the Tenant and/or the Developer during the Term and for the tax years during which the Term begins and ends. Section 6.4 Quiet Enjoyment. The Landlord covenants and warrants that the Tenant and its subtenants (including but not limited to the Developer and the Developer's tenants) shall peaceably and quietly have, hold, occupy, use and enjoy, and shall have the full, exclusive and unrestricted use and enjoyment of, all of the Property during the Term. During the Term, the Landlord hereby warrants that the Landlord shall not interfere with, impede, disrupt, or take (or cause to be taken) any action that has, or could be expected to have, an adverse impact on the Tenant and its subtenants (including but not limited to the Developer and the Developer's tenants) use and occupancy of the Property. Any violation of this covenant shall constitute all of the following: (i) a Landlord Event of Default, (ii) the constructive eviction of the Tenant, and (iii) a nuisance. Section 6.5 The Landlord's Right of Inspection. Notwithstanding Section 6.4 above, the Landlord, in person or through its agents, upon at least fourteen (14) calendar days prior written notice to the Tenant, shall have the right to enter upon the Property for purposes of reasonable inspections performed during reasonable business hours in order to assure compliance by the Tenant with its obligations under this Lease. During such inspection the Landlord shall not unreasonably disturb the Developer's tenants quiet use and enjoyment of the Property. In no event shall the Landlord have access to individual units within the Improvements. ARTICLE 7. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING Section 7.1 Landlord's Pre-Approval of Transfers. The Landlord agrees and acknowledges that the Agency was established pursuant to the Community Redevelopment Law for the exclusive purpose of causing the redevelopment of the Project Area in accordance with the Redevelopment Plan. The Landlord further agrees and acknowledges that the Agency has particular skill and expertise in redevelopment activities, including but not limited to, commercial real estate development. Therefore, because of such qualifications and identity of the Agency, the Landlord hereby preapproves any Transfer by the Agency (including but not limited to a Transfer to the City 773\106\467074.4 13

or a Transfer or Transfers to the Developer, or Approved Security Interests), and hereby agrees to execute such additional documents as may be reasonably requested by the Agency to evidence the Landlord's consent and pre-approval of Transfers, including, but not limited to promptly executing the documents set forth in Article 9, provided, however, the Agency shall have no obligation to obtain any additional consent or approval by the Landlord to effectuate such Transfers. Section 7.2 Agency's Right of First Refusal. The Landlord agrees that Landlord shall not sell the Property during the Term of this Lease (as may be extended by the Agency as set forth in this Lease), except in the manner set forth in this Section. If at any time during the Term of this Lease (as may be extended by the Agency as set forth in the Lease) Landlord receives from any third party a bona fide offer to purchase the Property at a price and on terms acceptable to Landlord, Landlord shall give written notice of the offer to Agency. Within ninety (90) days after Landlord gives the Agency written notice of the third-party offer to purchase the Property, the Agency shall have the right to purchase the Property at the same price and on the same terms and conditions set forth in the third-party offer (the "Agency Right of First Refusal"). To exercise its right, the Agency must within the same ninety (90) day period deposit in escrow with any escrow company located in Contra Costa County, California, and reasonably acceptable to the Parties, all moneys and instruments required by the terms of the offer to be paid or delivered to the Landlord on close of escrow and shall also give Landlord written notice of the deposit. In the event Agency fails to exercise the option to purchase in accordance with the provisions of this Section, then the Landlord may sell the Property to the third party making the offer on the same terms and conditions set forth in that offer. If for any reason the Property is not sold to the initial party making the offer, Landlord shall give Agency the same right to purchase the Property set forth above on receiving each subsequent offer from each third party that is acceptable to Landlord, if any. Section 7.3 Transfer by Landlord. In the event of a sale, assignment, transfer or conveyance by the Landlord of the fee interest in the Property or of the Landlord's rights under this Lease (following the expiration of Agency's Right of First Refusal set forth above), this Lease shall not be affected by any such sale, and the Tenant agrees to attorn to any such purchaser or assignee. ARTICLE 8. INSURANCE; DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION OF IMPROVEMENTS Section 8.1 Insurance Requirements. The Landlord acknowledges that the Agency is self-insured that such self-insurance is adequate for the purposes of this Lease and that the Agency is under no obligation to acquire or maintain any additional insurance policies under this Lease. 773\106\467074.4 14

Section 8.2 Damage or Destruction. In the event of major damage or destruction to the Improvements on the Property during the Term, the Tenant shall have the right, at the Tenant's election, to either: (i) make or cause the Developer to make full repair of such damage and fully restore the Improvements on the Property in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Agency Development Documents, or (ii) to terminate this Lease. If the Tenant elects to terminate this Lease, the Tenant shall comply with all of the following conditions: (a) The Tenant shall give the Landlord written notice of the damage or destruction within thirty (30) days after the event causing such damage or destruction; (b) As promptly as is feasible, the Tenant shall or shall cause the Developer to repair or restore the damaged Improvements to the extent necessary to make them safe from immediate danger to the public; and (c) The Tenant shall deliver possession of the Property and the Improvements thereon to the Landlord and shall quitclaim (and shall cause the Developer to quitclaim) to the Landlord all right, title and interest in the Property and the Improvements thereon. Following such termination of this Lease, neither Party shall have any further duty or obligation under this Lease except for those provisions that explicitly survive the termination of this Lease. Major damage or destruction to the Improvements on the Property (as used in this Article) means damage or destruction where the cost to make full repair of such damage and restore the Improvements in accordance with the provisions of this Article would be two percent (2%) or more of the replacement cost of all of the Improvements on the Property in their entirety. The calculation of such percentage shall be based upon the replacement cost of the Improvements on the Property as of the date of the damage or destruction. The determination of whether any particular damage or destruction constitutes major damage or destruction within the meaning of this paragraph shall be determined and certified by a professional cost estimator experienced in such matters designated by the Agency within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of such damage or destruction. Section 8.3 Insurance Proceeds Upon Permitted Termination. Upon termination of this Lease pursuant to this Article, insurance proceeds, if any, for the Improvements not used in repair or restoration shall be the property of the Agency and shall be distributed in the manner set forth in the Agency Development Documents. 773\106\467074.4 15

ARTICLE 9. APPROVED SECURITY INTERESTS Section 9.1 Right to Encumber. The Tenant and the Developer (or any other party which has entered into or assumed the Agency Development Documents) shall have the right during the Term to encumber, through an Approved Security Interest all of the Tenant's right, title and interest in the Property subject to the provisions of this Lease. Section 9.2 Landlord's Fee Encumbrance. In addition to the Tenant's and the Developer's right to encumber their leasehold estate in the Property and the Developer's fee in the Improvements, the Landlord shall encumber its fee title in the Property with the Approved Security Interests as set forth in the Financing Plan, approved by the Agency pursuant to the Agency Development Documents, or if requested by an Approved Security Interest Holder from time to time to permit the redevelopment of the Property. If requested by the Landlord, the Agency shall cause the Developer to provide the Landlord copies of the documents to be executed by the Landlord or that shall otherwise encumber the Landlord's fee title in the Property. The Landlord shall have ten (10) days to review and approve such documents. The Landlord shall approve such documents so long as such documents do not conflict with the requirements of Section 9.3. The Landlord's failure to either approve or disapprove of such documents within such ten (10) period shall be deemed approval, and upon the expiration of such ten (10) period (without Landlord's approval or disapproval) the Landlord shall immediately execute any documents necessary to encumber its fee title in the Property and such failure shall constitute a default under Section 12.3 without regard to any notice and cure period set forth therein which the Landlord and the Tenant acknowledge shall not apply to this Section 9.2. Section 9.3 Subordination. In addition to the Approved Security Interests, the Landlord shall permit the further encumbrance of the Landlord's fee interest in the Property. Upon written request by the Tenant to further encumber the Landlord's fee interest in the Property, the Landlord agrees to provide the subordination provided in this Section 9.3, subject to the conditions described in this Lease, including the following: (a) The liability of the Landlord under any documents executed in connection with any loan shall be limited by the express terms of the instrument of subordination. The limitations shall include: the limitation of the Landlord's liability solely to the interest or interests subordinated, and the Landlord's right not to execute any instrument which would obligate the Landlord for the payment of the loan secured by a deed of trust to which the fee is subordinated. (b) Provided the conditions of this Section are satisfied, the Landlord shall, within ten (10) days after written request by the Tenant, execute, acknowledge and deliver an instrument of subordination, together with other documents as may be reasonably required by the Approved Security Interest Holder, from the Landlord in favor of the Approved Security Interest Holder to effectuate the provisions of this 773\106\467074.4 16

Section. The Landlord will immediately pay over to the Tenant proceeds received by the Landlord, if any, of any the Approved Security Interests and the proceeds of any Approved Security Interests received by the Landlord shall be considered a trust fund to be paid to the Tenant. The agreement of subordination contained herein shall be selfoperative and no further instrument of subordination shall be necessary unless it be required by an Approved Security Interest Holder or any other party (other than the Landlord). If any proceeds are made payable to both the Landlord and the Tenant, the Landlord shall immediately sign any documents necessary to transfer the proceeds to the Tenant. Section 9.4 Estoppel Certificates. The Landlord and the Tenant agree that at any time, and from time to time, upon not less than twenty (20) days' prior written notice by the other party, or upon request from any Approved Security Interest Holder or a permitted assignee or other interested party, the Landlord or the Tenant will execute, acknowledge and deliver to the other party or to such other parties a statement in writing certifying (a) that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect; (b) the date through which the Rent has been paid; and (c) that, to the knowledge of the certifier (if such be the case), there is no default, set-off, defense or other claim against the Landlord or the Tenant, as applicable, other than those, if any, so specified under the provisions of this Lease. It is intended that any such statement may be relied upon by any persons proposing to acquire the interest of the Landlord, the Tenant or any Approved Security Interest Holder, as the case may be, in this Lease or by any assignee of any Approved Security Interest Holder. Section 9.5 Mortgage of Landlord's Estate. Except for the Approved Security Interests, the Landlord agrees not to encumber or convey any interest in the Landlord's fee interest in the Property with any deed to secure debt, mortgage, deed of trust or other instrument in the nature thereof as security for any debt which is not expressly subordinate to the Tenant's and/or the Developer's interest in the Property under this Lease and to any Approved Security Interest without the written consent of the Tenant. The Landlord agrees not to permit any liens arising from work contracted for by the Landlord to be filed against the Property without causing the same to be removed or bonded over within thirty (30) days of such filing. Section 9.6 Registration of Approved Security Interests. The Tenant shall provide written notice to the Landlord of the name and address of each Approved Security Interest under this Lease. 773\106\467074.4 17
