CITY OF SEATTLE ORDINANCE __________________ COUNCIL BILL __________________ AN ORDINANCE relating to economic and community development; authorizing a loan of federal Section 108 loan proceeds to finance development of the 12th Avenue Arts project at 12th Avenue and E. Pine Street; authorizing loan documents, amendments, replacements and related documents and actions; authorizing amendments to the City's 20092012 Consolidated Plan to reflect the transactions contemplated by this ordinance; designating the Pike/Pine neighborhood as a local economic zone for New Markets Tax Credit investments; and ratifying and confirming prior acts. WHEREAS, pursuant to Ordinance 123642, in order to support certain eligible activities under the federal Section 108 program, including the acquisition and development of certain properties within the city, the City is authorized to issue a note in the principal amount not to exceed Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000), or multiple notes in a total principal amount not exceeding that sum, without recourse to general funds, and enter into a contract ("Contract") with the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") for a Section 108 guaranty of the note(s) and agreements with a custodian (the "Custodian") to establish separate accounts to handle disbursements and receipts, which documents allow the City to request funds under the note from time to time; and WHEREAS, pursuant to authorization under Ordinance 123642, the City issued a non-recourse promissory note in the principal amount of Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) and caused the disbursement of note proceeds to Chase NMTC INS Investment Fund leaving Seven Million Dollars ($7,000,000) available for disbursement to future loans; and WHEREAS, the Director of the Office of Economic Development and the City's Loan Committee have approved a loan in the amount up to One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) from proceeds of a note to be guaranteed pursuant to the City's Contract with HUD to finance development costs of part of the nonresidential portion of the 12th Avenue Arts Project at 12th Avenue and E. Pine Street; and WHEREAS, if the $1,000,000 proposed loan is approved and disbursed, $6,000,000 in loan capacity will remain under the Contract for additional projects to be approved by City Council; and WHEREAS, the City's participation in the Section 108 loan guaranty program and the expenditure of Section 108 guaranteed loan proceeds is authorized by RCW 35.21.735; and WHEREAS, the Office of Economic Development has given public notice of the proposed loan and the City Council has held a public hearing with respect to the proposed loan; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY OF SEATTLE AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. The Mayor and the Director of the Office of Economic Development ("OED Director") are each authorized, on behalf of The City of Seattle, to issue a non-recourse promissory note ("Note") in the principal amount not to exceed One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), based on the form attached as Exhibit C to this ordinance, and with such modifications, additions or amendments as the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") may require or the Mayor or the OED Director may deem necessary or advisable to carry out the purposes of this Ordinance. The Note shall provide for a schedule of maturities of principal approximately as stated in Exhibit A, with such modifications and amendments as HUD may require or the Mayor or OED Director deem necessary or advisable to carry out the purposes of this Ordinance. The Mayor and OED Director are each further authorized, on behalf of the City, to lend and cause the disbursement of the Note proceeds to the 12AA NMTC Investment Fund LLC, or a substitute entity approved by the Mayor or OED Director ("Obligor"). Obligor is expected to be an entity formed by Key Bank Community Development Corporation (as investor member), and such Obligor is expected to serve as the New Markets Tax Credit investment fund that will assist in financing development of the part of the nonresidential portion of the 12th Avenue Arts Project that is not intended for use by the City, which is described in the Project Description attached as Attachment B to Exhibit B. Upon receiving Section 108 loan proceeds, such Obligor shall invest such proceeds in a Community Development Entity approved by the Mayor or OED Director (the "CDE"). The CDE shall serve as the New Markets Tax Credit community development entity that will disburse proceeds to the entity carrying out the development activity. In the alternative, the OED Director may lend and cause the disbursement of the Note proceeds directly to an Obligor that will own the part of the nonresidential portion of the 12th Avenue Arts Project that is not intended for use by the City, for costs of the development activity ("Direct Loan"). Section 2. The Mayor and the OED Director are each authorized, on behalf of The City of Seattle, to execute, deliver, administer and cause to be performed: (1) a Loan Agreement with the Obligor based on the form attached as Exhibit B to this ordinance and the Project Description attached as Attachment B to Exhibit B, with such additions and modifications as HUD may require or the Mayor or OED Director may deem necessary or advisable to carry out the purposes of this ordinance, including without limitation, in the case of a Direct Loan, additional provisions related to compliance with federal requirements by the Obligor, instead of a separate Collateral Agency Agreement; and (2) such amendments and related documents as the Mayor or OED Director may deem necessary or advisable to carry out the purposes of this ordinance. The Section 108 loan shall be secured by an assignment and pledge for security purposes of the interest of Obligor in the CDE, or, in the case of a Direct Loan, by a second lien deed of trust on the portion of the 12th Avenue Arts Project owned by the Obligor. Section 3. Section 2 of Ordinance 123642 is amended as follows:
Section 2. The Mayor Section 4. The City of Seattle acknowledges that the 12th Avenue project is located in an eligible investment area for federal New Markets Tax Credits ("NMTC") and supports the allocation of NMTCs for the project. Due to economic distress of the Pike/Pine neighborhood where the 12th Avenue Arts project is located, the City hereby designates and identifies the Pike/Pine neighborhood as a local economic zone for redevelopment for purposes of the NMTC program. Section 5. The Director of the Human Services Department ("HSD Director") is authorized to further amend the City's 2009-2012 Consolidated Plan to reflect the transactions contemplated by this ordinance and provide OED with technical assistance to ensure compliance with Community Development Block Grant ("CDBG") regulations applicable to the Section 108 loan program. The Mayor, OED Director, the Office of Housing Director, and the HSD Director are authorized to take such other actions as they shall deem necessary to implement the actions authorized by this ordinance. Such actions may include, without limitation, any amendments to the Contract for Loan Guarantee Assistance with HUD authorized by Ordinance 123642, or any revised or substitute Contract for Loan Guarantee Assistance, that the OED Director may deem necessary or that HUD may require. Section 6. This ordinance is not intended to create, and shall not be construed to create, any contractual or otherwise binding obligation upon, or commitment by, the City for the benefit of Obligor or any other party interested in the 12th Avenue Arts Project. The commitments to the Obligor authorized by this ordinance, subject to the limitations herein and under applicable law, shall become effective only if and when the agreements authorized hereby are duly executed and delivered by the City and other necessary parties. Section 7. Any act pursuant to the authority of this ordinance taken after the passage of this ordinance is hereby ratified and confirmed. If any provision of this ordinance is determined to be invalid or unenforceable the remainder shall nonetheless remain in full force and effect. Section 8. This ordinance shall take effect and be in force 30 days after its approval by the Mayor, but if not approved and returned by the Mayor within ten days after presentation, it shall take effect as provided by Seattle Municipal Code Section 1.04.020.

City also has entered into an Indenture of Trust and Custodial Agreement with the Custodian (as supplemented or amended from time to time, together with any substitute therefor in accordance with Section 7.2 below, the "Custodial Agreement"), which provides for, among other things, the Custodian to hold certain security for the City Note on behalf of HUD and for the establishment and management of certain accounts pursuant to the HUD Contract and Letter Agreements. The City Note is to be guaranteed under the HUD Contract pursuant to an application submitted to HUD by the City dated July 11, 2012 (the "Application"). The Application, HUD Contract, Letter Agreements and Custodial Agreement are incorporated herein by this reference. Unless the context otherwise requires, capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the HUD Contract or City Note, as applicable. D. The Office of Economic Development of the City ("OED") is responsible within The City of Seattle for making, subject to City Council approval, loans of funds obtained from HUD by pledges of Community Development Block Grant ("CDBG") funds to be made available to the City by HUD, pursuant to the Act. Unless the City otherwise notifies Obligor, in writing, OED shall be responsible for performance of the obligations of the City under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and for oversight of performance of such agreements by Obligor, and references hereinafter made to the City shall be deemed to mean the City, acting through OED. The Director of OED, or his or her duly authorized designee, and any official of the City succeeding to the functions of such Director, is referred to herein as the "OED Director." E. The Loan shall be evidenced by this Agreement and by Obligor's Promissory Note ("Obligor Note") in the form attached hereto as Attachment C and hereby incorporated by reference, and together with Obligor's other obligations under the Loan Documents, secured by a Pledge of Membership Interest and Security Agreement (the "Security Agreement") relating to Obligor's interest in CDE ("Membership Interest"), in form and content acceptable to the City. The Obligor Note, this Agreement, the Security Agreement, and any other documents or instruments executed by Obligor in favor of City pursuant hereto, are collectively referred to herein as the "Loan Documents". Where the context so requires, to the extent that the Loan Documents provide that Obligor's obligations or duties thereunder are determined by reference to any terms or provisions of documents incorporated by reference in any of the Loan Documents, any reference to the "Loan Documents" shall include such terms or provisions. F. The portion of principal on the City Note that is scheduled to become due and payable in any year, equal to that portion of principal on the Obligor Note scheduled to become due in the same year, is referred to as the "Corresponding Advance" to such portion of principal on the Obligor Note. NOTICE: ORAL AGREEMENTS OR ORAL COMMITMENTS TO LOAN MONEY, EXTEND CREDIT, OR TO FORBEAR FROM ENFORCING REPAYMENT OF A DEBT, ARE NOT ENFORCEABLE UNDER WASHINGTON LAW. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing Recitals and the covenants, conditions, representations and warranties contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows: ARTICLE I -THE LOAN 1.1 The Loan . In reliance upon Obligor's representations and warranties, and subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the HUD Contract, the Letter Agreements and the Custodial Agreement, the City hereby agrees to cause funds to be advanced to Obligor through the Custodian (which advances collectively shall constitute the "Loan") in a maximum aggregate principal amount equal to One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), solely for the purposes set forth in Section 1.2 below. Loan disbursements shall be made only to the extent of available funds received by the Custodian for such purposes through issuance by the City of the City Note, and the City shall have no obligation to make disbursements to or for the benefit of Obligor for payment of costs of the Project or otherwise, from any other source. Obligor shall have the right to receive Loan funds only pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in accordance with the Act. 1.2 Purpose of Loan . Loan proceeds shall be used by Obligor solely to make an investment in the CDE which will be used to make a loan to the QALICB ("QLICI Loan") to finance predevelopment, non-construction costs of the Project in accordance with this Agreement. 1.3 Loan Documentation; Payment of Principal and Interest . (a) Loan Documentation . The Loan shall be evidenced by this Agreement and by the Obligor Note and, together with Obligor's other obligations under the Loan Documents, shall be secured by the Security Agreement. (b) Principal and Interest . The principal of and interest on this Loan shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms set forth in the Obligor Note. 1.4 Security . (a) Security Agreement . The obligations of Obligor under the Loan Documents at all times shall be secured by a pledge of the Membership Interest of Obligor in the CDE and other collateral (collectively, the "Collateral") pledged by the Security Agreement, subject to any encumbrances, modifications, partial releases or substitutions of security that the OED Director may authorize in writing, in the discretion of the OED Director. The Obligor's Membership Interest in the CDE shall be at least a 99% equity interest, pursuant to an operating agreement satisfactory to the City and subject to such agreements as the City may require to ensure that the value of the Membership Interest and the rights appurtenant to it are not impaired. The Membership Interest shall not be subject to any other lien, encumbrance or claim prior to the Security Interest except as may be expressly agreed in writing by the City. The liens and security interests granted pursuant to the Security Agreement shall be perfected, to the extent possible, by filing under the Uniform Commercial Code ("UCC") in Washington and any other state in which the Obligor is located or where the City or HUD requires filing, and Obligor agrees to take all action reasonably requested by the City or Custodian, and to pay all fees and costs reasonably required to continue such perfection so long as the Loan or any of Obligor's other obligations under the Loan Documents remain outstanding. In the event of an assignment of this Agreement, any deed of trust, or other security documents securing the obligations of Obligor under the Loan Documents shall be included as Collateral hereunder. (b) Reserve Accounts . Obligor's obligations under the Loan Documents also shall be secured by all funds and investments in all of the accounts now or hereafter established under the Loan Documents, including without limitation, the Custodial Agreement, relating to the Obligor and specifically including without limitation, the respective subaccounts related to the Obligor Note in the Guaranteed Loan Funds Account, the Guaranteed Loan Funds Investment Account, the Loan Repayment Account, and the Loan Repayment Investment Account (all such accounts are collectively referred to herein as the "Reserve Accounts," and to the extent that the Custodian maintains any account for the purpose of more than one loan, all references to any such account, unless the context clearly requires otherwise, shall refer to the subaccount thereof related to the Obligor Note). Obligor hereby pledges to the City, and grants the City a security interest in, all right, title and interest of Obligor, if any, in and to the funds and investments now or hereafter in the Reserve Accounts, and all earnings thereon and proceeds thereof. Obligor agrees that such funds and other assets shall constitute "cash collateral" as described in the United States Bankruptcy Code. (c) Rights of City With Respect to Security . Obligor irrevocably agrees that, to the full extent permitted by applicable law, the City may realize upon any security for the Loan in any order, either before, concurrently with, or after either (1) any action to realize upon any other form of security, including without limitation the Collateral or (2) any suit or other proceeding on the Obligor Note, in each case without affecting the status of or waiving any rights or remedies under the Loan Documents or with respect to any security. Obligor consents to any and all actions that the City or Custodian may take to release, subordinate, accept substitution for, modify, compromise or waive any or all security with respect to the Loan, and Obligor agrees that no such action shall impair any rights or remedies of the City or Custodian under the Loan Documents. (d) Perfection of Security Interests . Obligor shall promptly take such actions as shall be reasonably requested by the City or Custodian, and pay all fees and costs reasonably required, in order to perfect and continue the perfection and priority of any and all security interests granted hereunder or pursuant to this Agreement, so long as the Loan remains outstanding. Obligor agrees that, in addition to all other rights and remedies otherwise under the Loan Documents, immediately upon acceleration of the balance owing on the Loan, whether upon an Event of Default or any other circumstance permitting acceleration, the City shall have the absolute right, without notice or demand, to apply all funds and assets granted as security hereunder or otherwise for the Loan, to amounts owing under the Loan Documents, and for such purpose to liquidate or cause to be liquidated any investments in any commercially reasonable manner, and irrevocably authorizes any Custodian, upon notice from the City of an Event of Default or any other circumstance permitting acceleration, to comply with the City's directions to so apply any or all such funds and assets and to liquidate investments for such purpose. 1.5 Loan Fee . Obligor shall pay to City a loan fee of Twenty Thousand Dollars ($20,000), representing two percent (2%) of the amount of the Loan, payable to or as directed by the City upon the disbursement of Loan funds hereunder, payment of which loan fee is in addition to Obligor's duty to pay City's costs and fees pursuant to Section 1.6 of this Agreement. The loan fee shall not be paid out of Section 108 loan proceeds but paid directly by Obligor or from other Project funds. 1.6 Obligor's Payment of Costs and Fees . Obligor shall pay to City or at City's direction, as and when due, all other costs and fees of whatever nature incurred by City (whether or not with recourse to the City) in connection with the Loan, including without limitation, fees and costs incurred by the City pursuant to the HUD Contract and City Note (except for those items estimated below, to be allocated on a pro rata basis according to the total principal amount outstanding on the Obligor Note and the City Note at the time fees or costs are incurred from time to time). The costs and fees payable by Obligor shall include, without limitation, (i) any and all charges and costs billed by the Fiscal Agent in respect of the City Note under the Amended and Restated Master Fiscal Agency Agreement among HUD and The Chase Manhattan Bank (now known as JPMorgan Chase Bank) as Fiscal Agent ("Fiscal Agent") dated as of May 17, 2000 (the "Master Agreement"); (ii) on and after the Conversion Date, any charges and costs in respect of the City Note billed by the trustee under that certain Trust Agreement by and between HUD and Chemical Bank, as Trustee, dated as of January 1, 1995, as now and hereafter amended and supplemented, and under any other trust agreement or similar instrument that may be executed by HUD in connection with a public offering conducted with respect to notes guaranteed by HUD under the Section 108 program (each such offering is referred to herein as a "Public Offering") that involves the City Note, (iii) fees and costs of the Custodian in connection with the Custodial Agreement and Letter Agreements; and (iv) costs in connection with Closing. Such fees and costs as of the date of Closing are estimated (but not guaranteed) to be in the amount of $7,500 (i.e., 75 basis points of the 108 loan). These estimates do not include the following, which shall also be paid by Obligor: the fees described in Section 1.5; fees and costs of the Custodian, if any, other than the initial set-up fee; City's outside counsel and the Custodian's outside counsel incurred as of the date of Closing; and any fees or costs of the City's outside counsel or Custodian's outside counsel incurred after the date of Closing, including without limitation, in connection with a Public Offering, and as may be incurred in case of breach or failure to perform by Obligor or in case of any litigation arising in connection with this Agreement. 1.7 City Funds Not Obligated . The Loan will be made only from non-City funds that the Custodian receives under the HUD Contract and City Note. In accordance with RCW 35.21.735, the City Note, and any payments or obligations under the HUD Contract and any documents or agreements relating thereto, including without limitation this Loan Agreement shall be a valid claim only against and payable solely from, the Accounts held by the Custodian and from the security pledged under the HUD Contract, and shall not be an obligation of The City of Seattle or the State of Washington, and neither the faith and credit nor the taxing power of the City or State or any municipal corporation or subdivision of the State or any agency of any of the foregoing is pledged to the payment of principal, interest or premium, if any, on the City Note or for any amounts due under the HUD Contract or any documents or agreements relating thereto including without limitation this Agreement. Nothing herein shall constitute a debt or indebtedness of the City payable from public funds within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory limitation on the incurrence of debt. Obligor agrees and acknowledges that this Agreement does not create any recourse to or claim upon the City's general fund, or any other funds of the City, and Obligor hereby disclaims any such claim. 1.8 Application of Payments . So long as the City or the Custodian shall have received, in immediately available funds and in the manner required hereunder, timely payments of interest and principal on the Obligor Note in the amounts required thereunder, the City shall apply or cause the Custodian to apply such payments to payment of interest on and the principal of the City Note, as such interest and principal shall become due. 1.9 Acceleration on Certain Events . The City shall have the absolute right, in its discretion, to declare all or any part of the principal balance owing on the Loan immediately due and payable in the event that: (a) HUD or any court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that the Loan or the issuance of the City Note must be terminated, canceled or rescinded for failure to comply with the Act or other applicable law, or that for any reason any City Note cannot be issued or cannot be guaranteed by HUD; or (b) HUD shall notify the City that any or all of the City Note cannot be included in the pool of notes for purposes of a scheduled Public Offering for any reason, and that HUD or the holder of the City Note is not willing to allow the interim terms of the City Note to remain in effect pending a later public offering; provided, that unless otherwise required by HUD or by the effect of a court order, Obligor shall be allowed a period of ninety (90) days after notice to Obligor thereof to seek to have such determination reversed or rescinded, or the effect thereof stayed, prior to acceleration of all or any part of the principal balance. If any such stay is obtained, then the City shall have the right to accelerate all or part of the principal balance immediately upon the lifting or termination of such stay. ARTICLE II -OBLIGOR'S REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS In order to induce City to make the Loan and to cause the Custodian to draw funds subject to the HUD Contract, Obligor represents, warrants and covenants as set forth below in this Article II as of the date hereof, as of the date of Closing, and at all times any of the principal of or interest on the Loan remain outstanding. These representations, warranties and covenants shall survive the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents. 2.1 Organization of Obligor; Authority to Enter into Agreement . Obligor is a limited liability company, duly organized and validly existing pursuant to the laws of the _________________ and is qualified to do business in and under the laws of the State of Washington. Obligor has the right and power to own all of its properties and to transact the business in which it is currently engaged or proposes to engage, and Obligor has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement, to borrow money as contemplated herein and to execute and perform the provisions of the Loan Documents. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, and the other Loan Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary company action, and no other action of Obligor or any other party is required for the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute valid and binding obligations of Obligor, each enforceable in accordance with their respective terms. 2.2 Nondiscrimination, Fair Contracting Practices, WMBE . (a) During the performance of this Loan Agreement, Obligor shall cause CDE to ensure and to provide evidence to the City that no contractors contracting in connection with the Project (whether or not to be paid from Loan funds) shall discriminate on the basis of race, color, sex, religion, national origin, creed, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity, age or the presence of any sensory, mental or physical handicap in employment or application for employment or in the administration or delivery of services or any other benefits under this Loan Agreement. Obligor shall cause CDE to ensure and to provide evidence to the City that each such other party has complied fully with, all applicable federal, state and local laws, ordinances, executive orders and regulations that prohibit such discrimination. These laws include, but are not limited to, Chapter 49.60 of the Revised Code of Washington, Titles VI and VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Chapter 14.04 of the Seattle Municipal Code. (b) Each party is required to comply with the Fair Contracting Practices Ordinance of The City of Seattle (Ordinance 119601), as amended. Conduct made unlawful by that ordinance constitutes a breach of contract. Engaging in an unfair contracting practice may also result in the imposition of a civil fine or forfeiture under the Seattle Criminal Code as well as various civil remedies.

If there is an acquisition or an agreement to acquire real property for the Project, then there shall be a representation and warranty that prior to making an offer for such property, (1) the owner shall be clearly advised in writing that the power of eminent domain was lacking and therefore there would be no power to acquire the property in the event negotiations failed to reach an amicable agreement, and (2) the owner shall be informed in writing of what was believed to be the fair market value of the property. If applicable, Obligor shall cause CDE to obtain a representation and warranty to provide to City a complete and accurate list of all occupants of the Property as of the date that site control was obtained, and a complete and accurate list of all persons occupying the Property at any time after site control and through the date of full occupancy after Project completion shall be provided. There shall be full compliance, at QALICB's or Obligor's sole expense, as applicable, with the City's Residential Anti-displacement and Relocation Assistance Plan ("RARAP"). If the Project involves the temporary and/or permanent displacement of persons, Obligor shall cause CDE to obtain a representation, warranty and agreement that that there shall be provided, at a minimum, all relocation assistance required by 24 CFR Section 42; the federal Uniform Relocation Act and regulations thereunder, 49 CFR Part 24; 24 CFR Section 570.606 and any other applicable federal laws or regulations, and maintained complete and accurate records demonstrating such compliance. There shall be agreement that any determination by City of the amount of relocation assistance due to any person shall be final and binding, unless a different determination is made by HUD at the request of such person, in which case the HUD determination shall be final and binding. There shall be a representation and warranty that, except as expressly stated in a relocation plan submitted to City in connection with the Project, no residential tenants have been required to vacate or will be required to vacate the Property permanently because of the Project. The terms of any relocation plan approved by City shall be carried out, but the terms of any such plan shall not limit QALICB's obligations under its loan agreement with the CDE or Obligor's obligations under this Loan Agreement, as applicable, or applicable laws or regulations, and no such approval by City shall be construed as a waiver or modification of any requirement of such agreements or applicable laws or regulations. (i) Architectural Barriers . Obligor shall cause CDE to provide ensure that the Property, upon completion of the Project, shall comply with the applicable requirements of the Architectural Barriers Act of 1968 (see 42 U.S.C. Sections 4151-57), and to ensure compliance with the following: (a) for residential structures, the Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards (Appendix A to 24 CFR part 40), and (b) for other buildings, the Architectural Barriers Act Accessibility Standard (ABAAS), Appendices C and D to 36 CFR part 1191 (ABA Chapters 1 and 2, and Chapters 3 through 10), pursuant to 41 CFR Sec. 102-76.60. (j) Flood Insurance Protection . If the Property is in a special flood hazard area as identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, then Obligor shall require that the CDE ensure that flood insurance is and shall remain in effect, at QALICB's expense, in accordance with Section 102(a) of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended (42 U.S.C. Section 4001 et seq. ), so long as any amount is outstanding on the Obligor Note.. (k) Records . If the Loan is assumed by the QALICB or an affiliate thereof, Obligor shall maintain and make available to the City and HUD all records reasonably required to demonstrate compliance with all of the requirements of this Agreement, for at least four (4) years after full repayment of the Loan. (l) No Religious Preference or Inherently Religious Activities . Obligor agrees and represents that, in connection with the Project and the operation of the Property, Obligor shall require the CDE to require of the QALICB that it: (1) shall not discriminate against any person on the basis of religion or religious belief and there shall be no limitation of any benefits or services or preference to any persons on the basis of religion or religious belief; and (2) shall not engage in inherently religious activities, such as worship, religious instruction, or proselytization. (m) Disclosures . Obligor represents, warrants and agrees that it or CDE has provided to the City any and all disclosures required by the HUD Reform Act, 42 U.S.C. Section 3545, and regulations thereunder, 24 CFR Part 4; that it will provide timely updated disclosures to the extent required by such act and regulations; and that all such disclosures are and shall be complete and accurate. (n) Prior Actions . Obligor represents and warrants that in all actions by the CDE or its affiliates related to the Project to date, CDE and each of its affiliates involved in the financing of the Project, has complied with all requirements referred to in this Section 5.7. (o) Indemnity . Obligor shall indemnify and hold harmless the City from any loss, damage, expense, claim or demand resulting from the failure of Obligor, CDE, QALICB to comply with any federal requirement to be complied with pursuant to this Agreement or failure to maintain adequate records to demonstrate such compliance. This provision shall survive expiration of this Agreement. 5.8 Reports . Obligor shall deliver to the City reports and information as City may require for purposes of monitoring and evaluating the performance of the Obligor, and if the Loan is assumed by QALICB or an affiliate thereof, shall deliver such reports and information as City may require for purposes of monitoring and evaluating the operation of the Property and its compliance with the terms hereof, which may include copies of tenant certifications, rent rolls, leases, property management agreements and any other contracts affecting the Property. 5.9 Liens or Claims of Liens . a. Obligor shall keep the Collateral free from liens and encumbrances of all kinds, except for those permitted pursuant to Section 2.4 above. b. If the Loan is assumed by the QALICB or an affiliate thereof, Obligor shall keep the Property free from liens and encumbrances of all kinds, except for those permitted pursuant to Section 2.4 above. If any claims of lien shall be asserted against the Property other than as permitted by this Section, Obligor, regardless of any action that City may otherwise be authorized to take, shall obtain a release and satisfaction of such lien claim, bond the lien claim, procure title insurance satisfactory to City protecting City from any loss relating to such lien claim, or otherwise provide to City assurances and security satisfactory to City that the lien claim will be paid or satisfied not later than ten (10) days after a judgment on the lien claim. Provided Obligor complies with the previous sentence, Obligor may in good faith contest any worker's or material supplier's lien in legal proceedings that will prevent enforcement of the lien claim and prevent foreclosure of the Property. If such a lien claim is not released or satisfied or a bond or other security satisfactory to City provided within forty-five (45) days of written request from City to Obligor, then the failure to do so shall allow the City to declare an Event of Default (as defined in Section 6.1 below). Nothing in this Section shall be construed to imply that property of a public corporation may be subject to a statutory mechanic's or materialmen's lien or other involuntary lien, nor be construed as consent by Obligor or the City to any such lien. 5.10 Political Activity . No portion of the Loan shall be used for any political activity or to further the election or defeat of any candidate for public office or to influence the approval or defeat of any ballot issue or legislation. 5.11 Further Actions . Obligor will at any time and from time to time upon request of City take or cause to be taken any action, execute, acknowledge, deliver or record any further documents, opinions, or other instruments or obtain such additional insurance as City is required to do or obtain by HUD or other federal, state or county regulatory agency. 5.12 Other Agreements . Obligor shall fully comply in a timely manner with all other agreements for the funding of the Loan. Nothing in this Section shall be construed to waive, or excuse noncompliance with, and provisions of this Agreement or any applicable City ordinances or permits. 5.13 Payment of Compensation of Custodian . Obligor shall be responsible for and pay its pro rata portion of the fees of the Custodian as provided under the Custodial Agreement. The Custodian's acceptance fee, prorated first annual fee and counsel fees and expenses shall be disbursed to Custodian from the Guaranteed Loan Funds Account at the time of initial Loan disbursement. Thereafter, Obligor shall promptly pay the Custodian's fees and expenses directly to the Custodian. 5.14 Payment of Other Indebtedness . Obligor shall timely pay the principal, interest and all other amounts due on any other indebtedness or liability now or hereafter owing by the Obligor to any person and secured by the Collateral; provided, that nothing in this Section shall authorize Obligor to make any payment from any funds or assets pledged to the City hereunder. 5.15 Transfer of Property . Obligor shall not cause or permit any transfer of the Collateral or any interest of Obligor therein, voluntary or involuntary, without the advance written consent of the City. If the Loan is assumed by the QALICB or an affiliate thereof, Obligor shall not cause or permit any transfer of the Property or any interest of Obligor therein, voluntary or involuntary, without the advance written consent of the City, except for the creation of liens, encumbrances or leases that are expressly permitted under the Loan Documents without the City's consent. ARTICLE VI -DEFAULT AND REMEDIES 6.1 Events of Default . Upon the occurrence of any of the following events and prior to the complete cure thereof by Obligor in a manner satisfactory to the City, the City shall have the right to declare an Event of Default hereunder, without notice or demand by City, except as expressly provided in this Section: (a) Any failure to pay when due any deposit into the Loan Repayment Account in respect of principal or interest on the Obligor Note; (b) Any failure to make a payment or deposit of money required by any of the Loan Documents, other than amounts referred to in Section 6.1(a) above, that is not cured within ten (10) days of the due date of such payment or deposit (or within ten (10) days of demand in case of amounts due on demand); (c) Any transfer of the Collateral or, if the Loan is assumed by the QALICB or an affiliate thereof, any transfer of the Property or any interest therein, voluntary or involuntary, contrary to Section 5.15 of this Loan Agreement; (d) Any failure to comply with the terms of Section 5.9 of this Loan Agreement (relating to lien claims) within the time period permitted by such Section; (e) Any breach or nonperformance by Obligor of any provision of any of the Loan Documents not included within any of Subsections (a)-(d) above that is not cured within sixty (60) days after notice to Obligor of such breach or nonperformance, or such longer cure period as may be permitted under the specific terms of the Loan Document; provided, however, that unless HUD shall otherwise require, if (1) such breach or nonperformance is susceptible to cure but cannot reasonably be cured within such cure period, (2) Obligor shall commence to cure such breach or nonperformance within such cure period and shall thereafter diligently and expeditiously proceed to cure the same, and (3) Obligor shall inform the City in writing of the status of the cure at the expiration of such cure period and every thirty days thereafter, then such cure period may be extended in the sole discretion of the OED Director for such time as the OED Director determines is reasonably necessary for Obligor to cure such breach or nonperformance; (f) A petition in bankruptcy or for reorganization or for an arrangement under any bankruptcy or insolvency law or for a receiver or trustee for any of Obligor's property is filed by Obligor, or is filed against Obligor and is not dismissed within ninety (90) days, or if Obligor makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors or becomes insolvent or unable to pay its debts as they mature or any attachment or execution is levied against a substantial portion of the property of Obligor and is not discharged within ninety (90) days, or if any law or court order shall require the City, Custodian or any other party to refund or otherwise relinquish any portion of any amount paid under the Obligor Note or this Agreement as a preference or for any other reason except refund of duplicative payment; (g) Any representation, warranty or disclosure made to City by Obligor, or contained in any information submitted by Obligor to City or to any government agency in connection with the Loan, proves to be materially false or misleading as of the date when made or reaffirmed, whether or not such representation or disclosure appears in this Agreement. 6.2 Declaration of Event of Default . City's declaration of an Event of Default hereunder shall be made by notice to Obligor pursuant to Section 7.15 of this Agreement and shall be effective as provided therein. 6.3 Remedies . (a) Upon declaring an Event of Default, City may, in addition to any other remedies which City may have hereunder or under the Loan Documents or by law, at its option and without prior demand or notice take any or all of the following actions: (1) Immediately terminate any further advances of Loan funds hereunder and revoke any instructions to any third party holding any such funds; (2) Declare the Loan immediately due and payable in full; (3) If the Loan is assumed by the QALICB or an affiliate thereof, demand foreclosure under the Deed of Trust, judicially or nonjudicially; (4) Apply any or all funds in the Reserve Accounts to amounts due under the Loan Documents, whether by reason of acceleration or otherwise, and cause investments in such accounts to be liquidated for such purpose; (5) Proceed to enforce the Security Agreement and apply or realize on any other collateral or security; (6) Set off any amounts then owing from the City to Obligor; (7) Give notice to any person owing any obligation to the Obligor that has been assigned as security for the Loan, that further payments are to be made to the City; and (8) Seek judicial appointment of a receiver. (b) All remedies of City provided for herein and in any other Loan Documents are cumulative and shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided by law. The exercise of any right or remedy by City hereunder shall not in any way constitute a cure or waiver of default hereunder or under any other Loan Document or invalidate any act done pursuant to any notice of default, or prejudice City in the exercise of any of its rights hereunder or under any other Loan Documents unless, in the exercise of said rights, City realizes all amounts owed to it under such Loan Documents. 6.4 No Default Prior to Declaration . No default or Event of Default shall exist under this Agreement or the Obligor Note until the same shall have been declared by the City or other party authorized to make such declaration; provided , that failure to declare, or delay in declaring, a default hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of any rights or remedies or excuse any failure by Obligor to strictly comply with its obligations under all of the Loan Documents. ARTICLE VII -MISCELLANEOUS 7.1 No Waiver . No waiver of any noncompliance or breach by Obligor hereunder shall be implied from any failure by City to take action on account of such noncompliance or breach, and no express waiver shall affect any breach or noncompliance other than as specified in the waiver. Any waiver shall be operative only for the time and to the extent therein stated. Waivers of any covenant, term or condition contained herein shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same covenant, term or condition. The consent or approval by City to, or of, any act by Obligor requiring further consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary the consent or approval to, or of, any subsequent similar act. 7.2 Successors and Assigns; Delegation to Custodian; Changes in Custodian and Custodial Agreement . This Agreement is made and entered into for the sole protection and benefit of City, HUD, and Obligor, their successors and assigns, and no other person or persons shall have any right of action hereunder. The terms hereof shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the parties hereto; provided, however, that the Obligor's interest hereunder cannot be assigned or otherwise transferred without the prior written consent of City. Obligor acknowledges and agrees that City may assign to HUD or any custodian or trustee for HUD any or all of City's rights under this Agreement and any of the Loan Documents and may direct that any payment or performance be provided directly to HUD or such custodian or trustee, whether or not the Obligor Note or this Agreement have been assigned. Obligor agrees that City may delegate to the Custodian the right to make demands and give directions on behalf of City under the Loan Documents, but that the scope of any such delegation shall be strictly limited to the terms of a written instrument duly signed on behalf of the City. Obligor further acknowledges that the Custodial Agreement may be modified or terminated, or a substitute Custodial Agreement executed, or a successor Custodian appointed, in each case without the consent of Obligor so long as the obligations of Obligor are not increased and the rights of the Obligor under the Loan Documents are not adversely affected in any material respect. Except for minor modifications to the Custodial Agreement not affecting Obligor, City agrees to give reasonable advance notice to the Obligor of any action as described in the preceding sentence, and agrees in each case to provide a copy of any modification or substitute Custodial Agreement to Obligor within fifteen (15) days after the execution thereof. 7.3 No Defense Based on City Regulatory Actions . Obligor understands that (a) the Property is subject to numerous laws, regulations, ordinances and permits, including those of City and other governmental bodies relating to land use, environmental hazards, and other regulatory matters, and (b) the modification, interpretation, application, or revocation of such laws, regulations, rules or permits could adversely affect economic return from the Property. Obligor has conducted its own investigation and relied on the advice of its own counsel and experts as to all such matters in connection with Obligor's investment in the CDE and its evaluation of the QLICI Loan and of the Property. Obligor acknowledges that by entering into this Agreement the City does not make, and that the City expressly disclaims, any representation or assurance whatever as to (1) the present or future status of the Property or the uses thereof under applicable laws or regulations, including those of the City; or (2) the availability, issuance or continuation of any permits, approvals, or interpretations of any kind that may be required or desired by Obligor or any other party in connection with the Property. Obligor agrees that notwithstanding any regulatory action or omission of City affecting Obligor or affecting the use or development of the Property (whether or not such action or omission shall be determined to be consistent with applicable law in any proceeding), no defense, offset or reduction of liability shall be available to Obligor, at law or in equity. 7.4 Time . Time is of the essence of all provisions of the Loan Documents. 7.5 Entire Agreement; Amendments . This Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and the documents, laws and regulations incorporated by reference herein constitute the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the Loan and supersede any prior agreements or understandings, written or oral, with respect to the Loan. Obligor is not relying upon any promises, representations or understandings, written or oral, in entering into the Loan Documents, other than as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. The obligations of Obligor under the Loan Documents are not conditioned upon, and shall not be affected by, any other agreement, understanding, performance or nonperformance by the City or any other party, and in any proceeding to enforce any of Obligor's obligations under the Loan Documents, Obligor shall not be entitled to assert, by way of excuse, offset, counterclaim, grounds for equitable relief, or otherwise, any actual or alleged action or inaction by or on behalf of the City except to the extent that any such action or inaction is expressly required of the City by, and is made a condition of Obligor's obligation by, the Loan Documents. No amendment, modification, or termination of any provisions of this Agreement or of any of the Loan Documents shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by a duly authorized officer of City and by Obligor, and no such writing shall be construed to modify, waive, or affect the terms of the Loan Documents except to the extent that such document expressly so provides. 7.6 Headings . The article and section headings in no way define, limit, extend or interpret the scope of this Agreement or of any particular article or section. 7.7 Number and Gender; Joint and Several Obligations . When the context in which the words are used in this Agreement indicates that such is the intent, words in the singular number shall include the plural and vice-versa. References to any one gender shall also include the other gender if applicable under the circumstances. If Obligor comprises more than one person or entity, then each such person or entity shall be bound jointly and severally by this Agreement and the Loan Documents except to the extent otherwise expressly provided therein. 7.8 Validity .

Pine Street in the Pike/Pine neighborhood. The Section 108 loan will finance development of the commercial portion of the property that will include approximately 15,000 rentable square feet of office space, 6,000 rentable square feet of retail space, and 6,200 rental square feet of community theater space ("Project"). Development of the Project will result in the creation of thirty (30) permanent jobs. ATTACHMENT C FORM OF OBLIGOR NOTE VARIABLE/FIXED RATE PROMISSORY NOTE Seattle, Washington $1,000,000.00 , 2012 FOR VALUE RECEIVED, 12AA NMTC Investment Fund LLC ("Obligor"), a __________ limited liability company, promises to pay to THE CITY OF SEATTLE, WASHINGTON ("Payee"), a Washington municipal corporation, or order, at the time or times provided herein, in lawful money of the United States, the sum of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), with interest as provided herein. This Note is given to evidence a loan (the "Loan") made pursuant to the Loan Agreement dated as of __________________ (as supplemented or amended from time to time, the "Loan Agreement"), between the Obligor and the Payee. The funds used by the Payee to make the Loan have been obtained by Payee exclusively through the issuance of a note in the maximum commitment amount of $1,000,000 issued by the Payee, a copy of which note, with a schedule of Principal Due Dates as established by agreement of the City and HUD, is attached hereto as Exhibit 2 and incorporated herein by this reference (including any note issued in replacement therefor or for a portion thereof that includes the amount disbursed in order to fund the Loan evidenced hereby, the "City Note") pursuant to Section 108 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended (42 USC section5308) and 24 CFR 570.700, et seq., pursuant to which the Payee has entered into certain agreements, including, but not limited to, (a) with the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD"), a Contract for Loan Guarantee Assistance (as it may be amended, the "HUD Contract") which contract incorporates by reference an Amended and Restated Master Fiscal Agency Agreement between HUD and JPMorgan Chase Bank (formerly known as The Chase Manhattan Bank), (b) with HUD, (which documents, as amended or amended from time to time, may be referred to collectively as the "Master Agreement"); and (c) with The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., an Indenture of Trust and Custodial Agreement (as it may be amended, the "Custodial Agreement"). The Obligor acknowledges and agrees that the Loan is made subject to all of the terms and conditions of the HUD Contract, Master Agreement and the City Note. Any capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings provided in the City Note, the Loan Agreement, the Custodial Agreement or the Master Agreement as applicable. Each portion of principal outstanding on this Note shall bear interest from the date hereof at the rate applicable to the Corresponding Advance of principal under the City Note. For each installment of principal shown on Exhibit 1 hereto, the Corresponding Advance consists of an equal amount of principal on the City Note maturing in the same year as such installment of principal hereunder. Interest on this Note shall be due and payable on the 15th day of each calendar month next preceding each of the following dates if interest on the City Note is scheduled to become due and payable on such date: February 1, May 1, August 1, and November 1 of each year. The amount of interest payable on this Note on each such 15th day shall include interest accrued through such date and interest to accrue through the end of the month in which the interest payment becomes due under this Note. Interest on this Note also shall be due 15 days before any other date when interest shall become due on the City Note, and the amount of interest then payable on this Note shall include interest accrued and to accrue up to such date when interest shall become due on the City Note. Interest on the City Note is due and payable quarterly in arrears prior to the Conversion Date, on the Conversion Date, and semiannually thereafter. Principal on this Note is due and payable as set out on Exhibit 1 attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference. Each date upon which principal or interest, or both, is due and payable hereunder is an "Obligor Note Payment Date." The principal amount due under this Note on each Obligor Note Payment Date shall be as set forth on the attached Exhibit 1, except to the extent such principal amount shall have been reduced by prepayment before such Obligor Note Payment Date as provided herein. On and after the Conversion Date (whether conversion to a fixed rate or rates is effected with the consent of the Obligor or otherwise), as more fully set forth in the City Note, each Corresponding Advance will accrue interest on the City Note at the fixed rate that the underwriters of the City Note, or securities representing participation interests in a pool of notes guaranteed by HUD, including the City Note, determine will enable them to sell the City Note or such participation interests under then prevailing market conditions as of the Conversion Date at one hundred percent (100%) of the aggregate amount thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, following the occurrence of any default hereunder or under the Loan Agreement, which default is not cured as permitted by the Loan Agreement, the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and this Note shall bear interest at the greater of the rate set as provided above or twelve percent (12%) per annum. Interest payable on or before the Conversion Date shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed. Interest after the Conversion Date shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, all principal, interest, fees, costs and other charges that Obligor is obligated to pay in connection with this Note and the Loan shall be due and payable, in full, no later than July 15, 2032. This Note and other obligations of Obligor under the Loan Documents are secured by a Pledge of Limited Partnership Interest and Security Agreement (as supplemented or amended from time to time, the "Security Agreement"), of even date herewith, from the Obligor for the benefit of the Payee. This Note and other obligations of Obligor under the Loan Documents are secured by other collateral, including without limitation security interests in the monies and investments held in certain Reserves established in accordance with the Loan Agreement and Master Agreement, and other collateral described in the Loan Agreement. The principal hereof and any interest accrued hereon may be prepaid, subject in the case of principal to approval by HUD of prepayment by the Payee of an equal amount of each respective Corresponding Advance on the City Note, and provided, however, that any prepayment shall be applied to the principal installment(s) with latest maturity unless otherwise agreed in writing by the holder hereof and by HUD, and provided, further: (a) On or before the Conversion Date, this Note may be prepaid in whole or in part upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Payee and with, and only with, the consent of HUD. Any prepayment of the principal hereof shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment, and partial prepayments shall be credited against the principal amount last becoming due hereunder. (b) After the Conversion Date, Obligor shall give 90 days prior written notice of its intention to make any prepayment. No partial prepayment shall relieve the Obligor of the obligation to make any future payments due after the date of any prepayment. Obligor shall pay, in addition to the principal amount of any prepayment, a premium sufficient so that the total amount paid is sufficient to defease the Corresponding Advances on the City Note, as provided in the Master Agreement. If in the event of any prepayment, the Payee incurs any costs, expenses, fees, charges, premiums or losses, the Obligor shall pay such items upon demand in addition to the principal and interest due hereunder. After default, any payment by Obligor or any third party, or recovery from the disposition of any collateral, to the extent applied to amounts of principal that were not yet scheduled to fall due according to Exhibit 1, may be applied to such installments of principal as the holder hereof shall elect in its discretion, and shall be deemed a prepayment of such installment for purposes of the premium and other obligations set forth in paragraph (b) above, and Obligor shall pay all such amounts on demand, or the holder hereof may apply amounts so paid or collected to such other obligations, in the holder's discretion. In the event of any default by Obligor in any term or condition of this Note, the Loan Agreement, the Security Agreement, or any other document executed in connection herewith, which default is not cured as permitted by the applicable document, the entire principal and accrued interest hereunder shall become immediately due and payable without notice or demand at the option of the holder of this Note. If the entire balance of principal and interest shall be declared due and payable after the Conversion Date, then the Obligor shall pay to the holder hereof, in addition to all other amounts owing, any further amount required in order that the holder is able to fully defease, solely from the payments by Obligor hereunder and without costs to such holder, all of the outstanding Corresponding Advances under the City Note. Obligor acknowledges that such additional amount, if any, is intended to protect the holder hereof from potential loss resulting from the enforcement of the terms hereof after default, and not as a penalty. If Obligor is in default under the provisions of this Note, the Loan Agreement, the Security Agreement, or any other document executed in connection herewith and Payee or other holder of this Note commences any action to enforce collection hereof or foreclosure under any security document or guaranty given in connection herewith or therewith, the Obligor agrees to pay all costs and expenses incurred by Payee or such holder, including but not limited to Payee's or such holder's reasonable attorneys' fees. Demand, protest, and notice of demand and protest are hereby waived, and the Obligor, to the extent authorized by law hereby waives any and all homestead or other exemption rights which otherwise might apply to the obligation evidenced by this Note, and/or any property covered by any security document given in connection herewith. The Obligor executes this Note as a principal and not as a surety.

Ken Takahashi OED 12AA Section 108 EXH B July 24, 2012 Version 3 U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT SECTION 108 LOAN GUARANTEE PROGRAM VARIABLE/FIXED RATE NOTE
VARIABLE INTEREST RATE: As set forth below. REGISTERED HOLDER: AFTERWATCH & CO As Nominee for Money Market Obligations Trust on behalf of its Government Obligations Fund I. Terms Applicable Before the Conversion Date A. Advances For value received, the undersigned, The City of Seattle, Washington (the "Borrower"), which term includes any successors and assigns, a public entity organized and existing under the laws of the State of Washington , promises to pay to the Registered Holder (the "Holder," which term includes any successors or assigns), at the time, in the manner, and with interest at the rate or rates hereinafter provided, such amounts as may be advanced under this Note from time to time by the Holder for disbursement to, or on behalf of, the Borrower (individually, an "Advance", and collectively, "Advances"). The Holder shall make Advances upon the written request of the Borrower and the approval of the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development or his designee (the "Secretary"), pursuant to the Contract for Loan Guarantee Assistance (as further defined in Section IV.A. of this Note, the "Contract"), and the Amended and Restated Master Fiscal Agency Agreement (the "Fiscal Agency Agreement") dated as of May 17, 2000, between The Chase Manhattan Bank (now known as Bank of New York Mellon), as Fiscal Agent (the "Fiscal Agent"), and the Secretary. The total amount of Advances made for each Principal Due Date under this Note shall not exceed the applicable Commitment Amount for such Principal Due Date set forth on the Commitment Schedule attached hereto. The aggregate of all Advances under this Note for all Principal Due Dates shall not exceed the Maximum Commitment Amount specified on the attached Commitment Schedule. The Fiscal Agent shall record the date and amount of all payments and Advances on this Note and maintain the books and records of all such Advances and Commitment Amounts for each corresponding Principal Due Date, and all payments. No Advances shall be made on this Note after its Conversion Date. As used herein, "Conversion Date" means the date (if any) upon which this Note is (i) delivered by the Holder to the Fiscal Agent against payment therefore by the purchasers selected by the Secretary to make such payment; and (ii) assigned to Bank of New York Mellon (or any successor thereto) acting in its capacity as Trustee (the "Trustee") pursuant to a Trust Agreement between the Secretary and the Trustee, dated as of January 1, 1995, as such agreement may be amended or supplemented (the "Trust Agreement"). Upon the occurrence of both (i) and (ii) in the previous sentence, Section III of this Note applies, thereby converting this Note to a fixed rate obligation. B. Variable Rate of Interest From and including the date of each Advance to but excluding the earlier of (i) the Conversion Date, and (ii) the date of redemption or prepayment of such Advance pursuant to Section I.D. below (each such date of redemption or prepayment, a "Prepayment Date") interest shall be paid quarterly at a variable interest rate (as set forth below) on the unpaid principal balance of each Advance on the first day of each February, May, August and November (each, an "Interim Payment Date"), commencing on the first Interim Payment Date after the initial Advance is made under this Note. Interest also shall be paid on each applicable Conversion Date, Prepayment Date or Principal Due Date. The amount of interest payable on each Interim Payment Date will represent interest accrued during the three-month period ending immediately prior to such Interim Payment Date, or in the case of the first Interim Payment Date following each Advance that is not made on an Interim Payment Date, the period from and including the date of such Advance to but excluding the first Interim Payment Date following such Advance. The amount of interest payable on this Note's Conversion Date, Prepayment Date, or on any Principal Due Date that precedes such Conversion Date will represent interest accrued during the period from the last Interim Payment Date to such Conversion Date, Prepayment Date, or Principal Due Date, respectively. The initial variable interest rate for each Advance will be set on the date of such Advance and will be equal to 20 basis points (0.2%) above the Applicable LIBO Rate (as hereinafter defined) and thereafter will be adjusted monthly on the first day of each month (each, a "Reset Date") to a variable interest rate equal to 20 basis points (0.2%) above the Applicable LIBO Rate (such interest rate, as reset from time to time, the "Standard Note Rate"). If the Conversion Date for this Note has not occurred by the March 1 following the initial Advance under this Note, then the terms of Appendix A shall be used to set the variable interest rate. If the Fiscal Agent does not receive notice of either a Negotiated Special Interest Rate or Holder Determined Special Interest Rate (as defined in Appendix A attached hereto) from the Secretary or Holder, respectively, by the times specified in Appendix A to this Note, then the Standard Note Rate shall apply for the period to which such Negotiated Special Interest Rate or Holder Determined Special Interest Rate would otherwise apply. The Fiscal Agent may conclusively rely on any such notice as to the correctness of any matters set forth therein. Appendix A shall be inapplicable to this Note on or after the Conversion Date. "LIBO Rate" for any given Business Day means, except in the case of manifest error, the interest rate per annum published on that day in the Eastern Edition of The Wall Street Journal or any successor publication ("WSJ"), published by Dow Jones & Company, Inc., in the section titled "Money Rates" (or any successor section) and opposite the caption "London Interbank Offered Rates (LIBOR) -three months" (or any successor caption). If such rate does not appear in WSJ on a given Business Day, for each interest period, the LIBO Rate shall be the interest rate, converted to a bond-equivalent yield basis, for deposits in U.S. dollars for three months which appears on Telerate Page 3750 or such other page as may replace Page 3750 on that service or such other service or services as may be nominated by the British Bankers' Association for the purpose of displaying such rate (together, "Telerate Page 3750") as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on the day (the "Determination Date") that is two London Banking Days preceding the relevant Reset Date or Advance. If such rate does not appear on Telerate Page 3750 on such Determination Date, such rate shall be obtained from the Reuters Screen ISDA Page as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on such Determination Date. If, in turn, such rate does not appear on the Reuters Screen ISDA Page on such Determination Date, the offered quotation from each of four reference banks (expressed as a percentage per annum) as of approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on such Determination Date for deposits in U.S. dollars to prime banks on the London interbank market for a 3-month period, commencing on the Reset Date or date of such Advance, shall be obtained. If at least two such quotations are provided, the LIBO Rate for such Reset Date or date of such Advance will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations, rounded to five decimal places. If fewer than two such quotations are provided as requested, the LIBO Rate for that Determination Date shall be the rate for the most recent day preceding such Determination Date for which the LIBO Rate shall have been displayed on Telerate Page 3750. The LIBO Rate for any interest period shall be converted to a bond-equivalent yield basis by multiplying such rate by the actual number of days in such interest period and dividing that number by 180. "Applicable LIBO Rate" means: (1) with respect to the initial interest rate for the first Advance hereunder, the LIBO Rate two London Banking Days before the date of such first Advance; (2) with respect to the initial interest rate for any subsequent Advance made before the first Reset Date, the interest rate borne by the first Advance; (3) with respect to the initial interest rate for any subsequent Advance made after the first Reset Date, the LIBO Rate two London Banking Days before the immediately preceding Reset Date; and (4) with respect to the subsequent interest rate at any Reset Date for any Advance, the LIBO Rate two London Banking Days before such Reset Date. "London Banking Day" means any day in which dealings in deposits in United States dollars are transacted in the London interbank market. Interest payable on or before the Conversion Date shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days lapsed. C. Principal Amount Prior to the Conversion Date, the aggregate amount of Advances under this Note for each specified Principal Due Date shall be the Principal Amount paid by the Borrower on such Principal Due Date (as assigned to such Advances by the Secretary's instructions to the Fiscal Agent in accordance with the Contract and the Fiscal Agency Agreement), except to the extent such Principal Amount shall have been reduced by redemption before such Principal Due Date as provided below. D. Redemption before Conversion Date At any time on or before the Conversion Date, the Borrower, with the consent of the Secretary, may redeem this Note, in whole or in part, upon fourteen calendar days notice to the Fiscal Agent and the Secretary, at the purchase price of one hundred percent (100%) of the unpaid Principal Amount to be redeemed, plus accrued interest thereon to the date of redemption. Partial redemptions shall be credited against the applicable Principal Amount(s). The related Commitment Amounts and the Maximum Commitment Amount shall be adjusted concurrently with any such redemptions in accordance with the Secretary's instructions to the Fiscal Agent pursuant to the Contract and the Fiscal Agency Agreement. II. Conversion The following events shall occur on the Conversion Date: A. Schedule P&I On the Conversion Date all Advances owed by the Borrower under this Note with the same Principal Due Date shall be aggregated into a single Principal Amount which will accrue interest at the fixed rate applicable to such Principal Due Date. Such Principal Amount may be adjusted by the Fiscal Agent in accordance with the following paragraph or paragraph IV.H, as applicable. Whether or not adjusted, each Principal Amount, the fixed rate applicable to each Principal Amount, and the applicable Principal Due Date, shall be listed by the Secretary in Schedule P&I. Schedule P&I will be provided by the Secretary to the Fiscal Agent and attached to this Note by the Fiscal Agent upon the Fiscal Agent's receipt of this Note on the Conversion Date. B. Conversion Date Advances If, on or prior to the Conversion Date, the Borrower has not utilized the entire Commitment Amount indicated on the Commitment Schedule attached hereto for a given Principal Due Date, the Borrower may, in accordance with the Fiscal Agency Agreement and the Contract, and with the approval of the Secretary, utilize such Commitment Amount on the Conversion Date to obtain a Conversion Date Advance. A "Conversion Date Advance" shall mean any amount by which the Secretary instructs the Fiscal Agent to increase a Principal Amount on Schedule P&I for a given Principal Due Date, effective as of the Conversion Date of this Note. Conversion Date Advances shall be funded by the sale of this Note to the purchaser selected by the Secretary. The proceeds of a Conversion Date Advance (net of any applicable fees) shall be distributed to or on behalf of the Borrower on the Conversion Date. The total amount of Conversion Date Advances hereunder shall not exceed the sum of any unused Commitment Amounts for all Principal Due Dates. III. Terms Applicable Upon Conversion The following terms shall apply to this Note from the Conversion Date (if any) until this Note is canceled, or matured and paid in full: Commencing on the Conversion Date, the Borrower promises to pay to the Holder on the applicable Principal Due Date each Principal Amount set forth on the attached Schedule P&I, together with interest on each such Principal Amount at the rate applicable thereto specified on the Schedule P&I. Interest shall be calculated and payments shall be made in the manner set forth below. Interest on each scheduled Principal Amount of this Note due as of a given date specified on Schedule P&I hereto shall accrue at the related per annum rate specified on Schedule P&I from (and including) the Conversion Date to (but excluding) such Principal Due Date or, if applicable, to the applicable Interest Due Date on which an Optional Redemption (as defined below) occurs. Each interest amount accrued on each unpaid Principal Amount of this Note shall be due semiannually as of February 1 and August 1 of each year (each such February 1 and August 1, an "Interest Due Date") commencing on the first such date after the Conversion Date, until each Principal Amount listed on Schedule P&I to this Note is paid in full. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Certain Principal Amounts that are indicated as being eligible for Optional Redemption on Schedule P&I may be paid, in whole or in part, at the option of the Borrower as of any Interest Due Date on or after the date specified in such schedule (an "Optional Redemption"). In order to elect an Optional Redemption of such a Principal Amount, the Borrower shall give notice of its intention to prepay a Principal Amount to the Trustee and the Secretary not less than 60 days and not more than 90 days prior to the Interest Due Date as of which the Borrower intends to prepay the Principal Amount. The Trustee shall apply any payments received in respect of Optional Redemptions in accordance with written instructions of the Borrower, as approved by the Secretary. Principal Amounts that are not indicated as being eligible for Optional Redemption on Schedule P&I may not be prepaid. IV. General Terms A. Additional Definitions For purposes of this Note, the following terms shall be defined as follows: "Business Day" shall mean a day on which banking institutions in New York City are not required or authorized to remain closed and on which the Federal Reserve Bank and the New York Stock Exchange are not closed. If any payment (including a payment by the Secretary) is required to be made on a day that is not a Business Day, then payment shall be made on the next Business Day. "Contract" shall mean the Contract for Loan Guarantee Assistance, and any amendments thereto, among the Secretary and the Borrower, the designated public entity named therein (if applicable), and the State named therein (if applicable), that refers to and incorporates this Note by the number hereof. "Principal Amount" shall mean: (i) before the Conversion Date for this Note, the aggregate amount of Advances made for each Principal Due Date specified in the Commitment Schedule attached to this Note, less the amount of any redemptions pursuant to Section I.D. hereof, and any principal repayment; and (ii) on or after the Conversion Date, the principal amount (if any) stated for each Principal Due Date in Schedule P&I attached hereto, less the amount of any principal repayment and any Optional Redemptions made pursuant to Section III hereof and the Trust Agreement. B. Timely Payment to Fiscal Agent or Trustee Notwithstanding anything contained in Section I, Section II, or Section III, the Borrower, in accordance with the Contract, shall be required to make all payments of interest and principal, including any Optional Redemption payment, directly to the Fiscal Agent or the Trustee (as applicable) on the seventh Business Day prior to the appropriate Interim Payment Date, Interest Due Date, Principal Due Date, Prepayment Date, or date of Optional Redemption, as applicable. C. Interest on Late Payments If a payment of principal or interest herein provided for shall not be made by either (i) 2:30 p.m. on an Interest Due Date or Principal Due Date; or (ii) 2:30 p.m. on the second Business Day (as herein defined) next succeeding an Interim Payment Date, then interest shall accrue on the amount of such payment at the then applicable interest rate or rates payable on this Note, from the relevant due date, as the case may be, until the date such payment is made. Nothing in the immediately preceding sentence shall be construed as permitting or implying that the Borrower may, without the written consent of the Holder and the Secretary, modify, extend, alter or affect in any manner whatsoever the right of the Holder timely to receive any and all payments of principal and interest specified in this Note. D. Applicability of Fiscal Agency Agreement or Trust Agreement Prior to the Conversion Date, this Note and Advances and payments made hereunder shall be administered pursuant to the terms of the Fiscal Agency Agreement and are subject to such agreement. On or after the Conversion Date, this Note and Advances and payments made hereunder shall be administered pursuant to the Trust Agreement and are subject to such agreement. The terms and provisions of the Fiscal Agency Agreement or the Trust Agreement, insofar as they affect the rights, duties and obligations of the Holder and/or the Borrower, are hereby incorporated herein and form a part of this Note. The Borrower hereby agrees to be bound by all obligations of the Borrower to the Fiscal Agent set forth in the Fiscal Agency Agreement. Capitalized terms not defined in this Note shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Fiscal Agency Agreement or Trust Agreement, as applicable. The Fiscal Agency Agreement provides for the Fiscal Agent to perform certain duties, including the duties of (i) paying agent and calculation agent for this Note until its Conversion Date, and (ii) registrar for this Note until this Note is canceled or a new registrar appointed, each in accordance with the Fiscal Agency Agreement. The Trust Agreement provides for the Trustee to perform certain duties, including the duties of collection agent for this Note after its Conversion Date until a new Trustee is appointed in accordance with the Trust Agreement. This Note may be surrendered to the Fiscal Agent for registration of transfer or exchange, as provided in the Fiscal Agency Agreement. The Fiscal Agent and Trustee each shall permit reasonable inspection to be made of a copy of the Fiscal Agency Agreement or Trust Agreement kept on file at its respective corporate trust office. Neither the Fiscal Agency Agreement nor the Trust Agreement shall change the Borrower's payment obligations under this Note. E. Applicability of Contract and Secretary's Guarantee This Note evidences indebtedness incurred pursuant to and in accordance with the Contract and pursuant to Section 108 of Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended (42 U.S.C. section 5308) (the "HCD Act"). This Note is subject to the terms and provisions of the Contract, to which Contract reference is hereby made for a statement of said terms and provisions and for a description of the collateral security for this Note. The payment of principal on the applicable Principal Due Dates and interest on the applicable Interim Payment Dates or Interest Due Dates under this Note is unconditionally guaranteed by the Secretary to the Holder through a guarantee (the "Guarantee"). Execution of the Secretary's Guarantee is required before this Note is effective, and such Guarantee shall be issued pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Contract and Section 108 of the HCD Act. F. Default A default under this Note shall occur upon failure by the Borrower to pay principal or interest on this Note when due hereunder. If a Borrower defaults on the payment of any interest or Principal Amounts when due, or if the Secretary gives notice of a final decision to declare the Borrower in default pursuant to the following paragraph of this Section IV.F, the Secretary may, but is not obligated to, make on any date on or prior to the Conversion Date with fourteen calendar days prior notice to the Fiscal Agent, or on the seventh Business Day preceding any Interest Due Date on or after the first permissible Optional Redemption date with seven Business Days prior notice to the Trustee, an acceleration payment to the Fiscal Agent or the Trustee, as applicable, equal to the Aggregate Principal Amount of the Note, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon to such acceleration payment date or Interest Due Date, as applicable. In the event that any such acceleration payment is made from sources other than funds pledged by the Borrower as security under the Contract (or other Borrower funds), the amounts paid on behalf of the Borrower shall be deemed to be immediately due and payable to the Secretary. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed as permitting or implying that the Borrower may, without the written consent of the Holder and the Secretary, modify, extend, alter or affect in any manner whatsoever the right of the Holder timely to receive any and all payments of principal and interest specified in this Note. In addition, the Secretary may declare the Borrower in default under this Note if the Secretary makes a final decision in accordance with the provisions of 24 C.F.R. section 570.913 (or any successor regulation thereof), including requirements for reasonable notice and opportunity for hearing, that the Borrower has failed to comply substantially with Title I of the HCD Act. Following the giving of such reasonable notice, the Secretary may take the remedial actions specified as available in the relevant provisions of the Contract pending the Secretary's final decision. G. Holder's Reliance on Guarantee Following a default by the Borrower under the terms of this Note, the Holder agrees to rely wholly and exclusively for repayment of this Note upon the Guarantee. The enforcement of any instruments or agreements securing or otherwise related to this Note shall be the sole responsibility of the Secretary, and the Holder shall not be responsible for the preparation, contents or administration of such instruments and agreements, or for any actions taken in connection with such instruments and agreement. The Holder, to the extent it is legally able to do so, shall bind or cause to be bound its successors and assigns to all limitations imposed upon the Holder by this Note. H. Amendment This Note may only be amended with the prior written consent of the Secretary and the Borrower. No such amendment shall reduce, without the prior written consent of the Holder of this Note, in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments required to be received on this Note by the Holder, Fiscal Agent or Trustee, including Guarantee Payments; provided that prior to the Conversion Date, the Commitment Amounts on the Commitment Schedule attached hereto, and the Principal Amounts due on the corresponding Principal Due Dates may be rescheduled pursuant to written instructions given to the Fiscal Agent by the Secretary with the written agreement of the Borrower and the Secretary absent the consent of the Holder. I. Waivers The Borrower hereby waives any requirement for presentment, protest or other demand or notice with respect to this Note. The Borrower hereby waives notice of default and opportunity for hearing for any failure to make a payment when due. J. Delivery and Effective Date This Note is deemed issued, executed, and delivered on behalf of the Borrower by its authorized official as an obligation guaranteed by the Secretary pursuant to Section 108 of the HCD Act, effective as of the date of the Secretary's Guarantee.

(a) The Holder and the Secretary contemplate that the majority of the outstanding Variable/Fixed Rate Notes will be purchased by underwriters selected by the Secretary for sale in public offerings to occur each year. If a public offering including this Note has not occurred by each March 1 following the initial Advance under this Note, the Secretary shall, upon request, advise the Holder as to when a public offering including this Note is expected to occur, and the Holder and the Secretary agree to consult with each other as to what the interest rate on this Note will be after May 1 of that year if a public offering has not occurred by such May 1. The Holder shall notify the Secretary if such consultation has not occurred by April 1 of that year. If no public offering including this Note has occurred on or before such May 1, the applicable interest rate on this Note from such May 1 shall be the rate (if any) negotiated and agreed upon by the Secretary and the Holder. Such rate may be the Standard Note Rate or some other rate agreed upon by the Holder and the Secretary at least two Business Days before such May 1 (such other rate, the "Negotiated Special Interest Rate"). The Secretary shall notify the Fiscal Agent and the Holder in writing of any Negotiated Special Interest Rate within two Business Days of the determination thereof. (b) If the Secretary and the Holder do not, by the April 15th preceding such May 1, negotiate and agree under Section (a) of this Appendix on an interest rate applicable to this Note, then the Holder may, on or before the April 20th preceding such May 1, give written notice to the Secretary of its intent to change the interest rate on this Note and, if such notice was given during such period, the Holder may, on such May 1, unilaterally determine (subject to the terms of this paragraph) the interest rate that this Note will bear (such rate, the "Holder Determined Interest Rate") from and including such May 1 to but excluding the earliest of: (i) the Conversion Date; (ii) the date that this Note is purchased by a new Holder (as described in Section (c) below) or (iii) a Monthly Special Reset Date (as defined below). Interest from and including such May 1 to but excluding the Public Offering Date shall be paid on the unpaid principal balance of all outstanding Advances under this Note at the rate(s) to be determined by the Holder which, based upon then prevailing market conditions and taking into account all the circumstances, will enable the Holder to sell this Note at one hundred percent (100%) of the aggregate amount of all Advances hereunder prior to the date of such sale. Such interest rate shall be determined as of such May 1 and shall be determined again on the foregoing basis on the first of each month thereafter (the first of each month after such May 1, a "Monthly Special Reset Date"). The Holder shall notify the Fiscal Agent and the Secretary in writing within two Business Days following such dates of the determination of the Holder Determined Interest Rate and each applicable interest rate determined on a Monthly Special Reset Date. (c) If the Secretary and the Holder have failed to agree upon an interest rate pursuant to Section (a) of this Appendix A, the Secretary, upon seven calendar days notice to the Holder, may arrange for the purchase of this Note in full by another entity on the following May 1 or any Business Day thereafter. If such a purchase occurs, the Holder shall sell and assign this Note to the purchaser thereof without recourse to the Holder and deliver this Note and its Guarantee to the Fiscal Agent for registration in the name of the purchaser thereof in accordance with the Secretary's written instructions. The purchase price for this Note shall be 100% of the aggregate amount of all Advances owing hereunder plus accrued interest to the date of purchase. Payment to the Holder of the purchase price for this Note shall be made by the purchaser thereof in Federal funds at the offices of the Holder, or at such other place as shall be agreed upon by the Holder and the Secretary, at 10:00 a.m., New York time, on the date of purchase. After such purchase date this Note shall bear a rate of interest negotiated between the Secretary and the new interim Holder (the "New Purchaser Special Interest Rate"). The Secretary shall notify the Fiscal Agent and the new purchaser in writing of any New Purchaser Special Interest Rate within two Business Days following the date of determination thereof. (d) Notwithstanding Sections (a) through (c) (inclusive) of this Appendix, no Borrower is obligated to pay interest at a variable rate exceeding the maximum rate permitted by generally applicable law of the Borrower's state (such rate, the "Maximum Rate"). If the Borrower receives notice of a variable interest payment that exceeds the Maximum Rate, then the Borrower shall timely pay such amount as does not exceed the Maximum Rate, and concurrently shall notify the Secretary and the Fiscal Agent of the reason for any interest nonpayment. COMMITMENT SCHEDULE Note No.
SCHEDULE P&I* Note No.
Principal Amounts due on or after August 1, 2023, may be redeemed, subject to the terms contained herein and in the Trust Agreement, on any Interest Due Date on or after August 1, 2022. *This schedule will not be completed when initially executed and delivered by the Borrower for Guarantee for interim, variable-rate financing. It will be completed when assigned by the Holder at the request of the Borrower for conversion to Fixed Rates on the Conversion Date. The first date shown above on which Optional Redemption is available is expected to be the same when this schedule is completed, if the Borrower participates in the initial Section 108 public offering after receiving an interim financing Advance hereunder. If the Borrower participates in a later public offering, the first date on which Optional Redemption is available is expected to be correspondingly later. |
