of two single family housing tracts (the "Sites"). The Sites are
situated within the redevelopment project area of the State College
Redevelopment Project in the City of San Bernardino, California
(the "City"). A legal description of the Sites is attached hereto
as Exhibit "A" and incorporated herein by this reference. The
development of the Sites pursuant to this Agreement is in the vital
and best interests of the City and the health, safety and welfare
of its residents, and in accord with the public purposes and
provisions of applicable state and local laws. The Agency has
determined that the development and uses contemplated by this
Agreement will benefit the low- and moderate-income housing needs
of the City as well as the various redevelopment project areas of
the City.
Section 1.02. The Sites. The Sites, which are
designated as Subdivision Tract Map No. 11261 (the "Phase 1 Site"),
and as Subdivision Tract Map No. 13822 (the "Phase II Site"),
consist of a total of SIXTY-TWO (62) subdivided lots: (i) TWENTY-
FOUR (24) of these subdivided lots are in the Phase 1 Site (each
lot in the Phase 1 Site, a "Phase I Lot"); and (ii) THIRTY-EIGHT
(38) of these subdivided lots are in the Phase II Site (each lot in
the Phase II Site, a "Phase 11 Lot"). Promptly following the
purchase of the Sites from the Agency the Developer shall undertake
the development, improvement, marketing and sale of single family
detached residential homes on each Phase I Lot and on each Phase II
Lot. The provisions of this Agreement are applicable to the Sites
in their entirety.

California 92408.
Section 1.04. Prohibition Against Chanae in Ownership.
Management and Control of Developer and Assianment of Agreement.
The qualifications and identity of the Developer are of particular
concern to the Agency. It is because of those qualifications and
identity that the Agency has entered into this Agreement with the
Developer. No voluntary or involuntary successor in interest of
the Developer shall acquire any rights or powers under this
Agreement except as expressly set forth herein.
Except as set forth in Section 3.04, the Developer shall
not assign all or any part of this Agreement or any rights
hereunder prior to the issuance of the final Certificate of
Completion with respect to the Sites without the prior written
approval of the Executive Director of the Agency, which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld.
The Developer shall promptly notify the Agency in writing
of any and all changes whatsoever in the identity of the parties
either comprising or in control of the Developer, as well as any
and all changes in the interest or the degree of control of the
Developer by any such party, of which information the Developer or
any of its partners or officers has been notified or may otherwise
have knowledge or information. This Agreement may be terminated by
the Agency prior to the Close of the Escrow as set forth in Section
2.03 if there is any significant or material change, whether
voluntary or involuntary, in membership, ownership, management or
control of the Developer (other than such changes occasioned by the
death or incapacity of any individual) that has not been approved
by the Agency prior to the time of such change or the Agency may
seek other appropriate relief in the event that at any time
following the Close of Escrow and prior to issuance of the final
Certificate of Completion such a change in the ownership, or
control of the Developer occurs with respect to the Sites;
provided, however, that (A) the Agency shall first notify the
Developer in writing of its intention to terminate this Agreement
or any other remedy, and (B) the Developer shall have twenty (20)

evidence of the initiation of satisfactory completion of such cure
to the Agency in a form and substance deemed satisfactory to the
Agency, in its reasonable discretion.

determined that the development of the Sites in accordance with
this Agreement will eliminate blight and provide needed low- and
moderate-income housing to the various project areas of the Agency
as well as to areas in proximity thereto, which housing is needed
due to the insufficiency of such housing within the City generally.

to all of the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement,
and for the consideration of the Purchase Price as herein set

or adj oining the Sites, but excepting therefrom any

capi tal fees, including without limitation, sewer
capacity charge entitlements or credits applicable to the
Sites which the Agency has previously paid to the City.
The purchase price which the Agency agrees to accept from
the Developer and which the Developer agrees to pay to the Agency
for the Sites is the sum of FOUR HUNDRED THIRTY-FOUR THOUSAND
DOLLARS ($434,000.00) in United States currency(the "Purchase
Price").
Section 2.02.
Return of DeDosit.
Payment of Purchase Price: Application or
(a) As of the date of this Agreement, the Developer has
deposited the sum of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00) with the
Agency pursuant to that certain instrument entitled "Exclusive
Right to Negotiate for Property Acquisition and Redevelopment
Assistance Between Century Crowell Communities, LP and the
Redevelopment Agency of the City of San Bernardino" dated as of
SBEO/0001/OOC/3477-3
7/1/99 440 we

February ,1999. Within five (5) days following the execution of
this Agreement by both parties, the Developer shall deliver to the
Escrow Holder (as hereinafter defined) the sum of Fifteen Thousand
Dollars ($15,000.00) and the Agency shall transfer to the Escrow
Holder for the account of the Developer the sum of Ten Thousand
Dollars ($10,000.00) from the moneys tendered by the Developer
under said Exclusive Right to Negotiate. The aggregate sum of such
$25,000.00 as delivered to the Escrow Holder, is referred to in
this Agreement as the "Deposit." Upon its receipt of the Deposit
and a fully executed copy of this Agreement, the Escrow Holder
shall cause the Escrow (as hereinafter defined) to be opened as
provided in Section 2.03, and the Escrow Holder shall place the
Deposit into an interest-bearing escrow account with the interest
thereon to accrue to the benefit of the Developer.
At the Close of Escrow (as hereinafter defined), the
Deposit shall be applied as a credit to the Purchase Price.
(b) Pavment of Balance of Purchase Price. The Purchase
Price, less the Deposit, shall be tendered by the Developer to the
Escrow Holder on the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined) for
disbursement to the Agency upon the Close of Escrow as follows:
(i) a promissory note of the Developer (the "Promissory
Note") payable to the Agency in the principal sum of TWO

Promissory Note shall be secured by a Deed of Trust as set
forth below, and shall include the following terms:
(A) a maturity date of five (5) years from its date
(e.g. the Close of Escrow);
(B) no interest shall accrue on the outstanding
principal balance of the Promissory Note except in the
case of default;
(ii) the balance of the Purchase Price in cash or
immediately available funds. The parties acknowledge that an
estimate as of the date of this Agreement of the balance of
the Purchase Price payable in cash (net of the Promissory Note
but without deductions for other charges, credits or lien
releases) appears to be approximately ONE HUNDRED FORTY-THREE
THOUSAND DOLLARS ($143,000.00).
A deed of trust covering the Phase II Site shall secure
the Promissory Note (the "Deed of Trust"). The Deed of Trust shall
provide for the partial release and reconveyance of each of the
Phase II Lots prior to maturity of the Promissory Note in
accordance with the following formula: $7,000.00 for each Phase II

Lot requested for partial release plus a partial release and
reconveyance charge of $50.00 for each Phase II Lot released. The
Agency shall agree to subordinate their Deed of Trust to a
construction loan the proceeds of which shall be used and applied
by the Developer solely for the improvement and development of the
Phase II Site under the presentation of a payment guarantee of the
Promissory Note in favor of the Agency by the general partners of
the Developer. Such subordination of the Deed of Trust shall be
evidenced by:

that the construction loan documentation shall not be
amended or modified in any material respect without the

Developer. The form of the Promissory Note; the Deed of
Trust, and the payment guarantee are attached hereto as

terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 2.03(a) or (ii) the
Developer does not deliver its Due Diligence Approval Certification
(as hereinafter defined) to the Escrow Holder pursuant to Section
2.03(b) and this Agreement is terminated; or (iii) the Developer's
conditions precedent to the Close of Escrow described in Section
2.16 (1), (2), (3), (5), or (6) are not satisfied (unless
satisfaction has been waived by the Developer) and this Agreement
is terminated; or (iv) the Sites suffer damage prior to the Close
of Escrow, or an action of eminent domain is commenced by a
governmental entity with respect to the Sites prior to the Close of
Escrow, and the Developer elects to terminate this Agreement
pursuant to Section 2.25, then the Deposit (less an amount equal to
the customary and reasonable escrow cancellation charges of the
Escrow Holder) shall be returned to the Developer.
Section 2.03. Opening and Closing of Escrow.
(a) The transfer and sale of the Sites shall take place
through an Escrow (the "Escrow") to be administered by First
American Title Insurance Company: Escrow Department or such other
escrow or title insurance company mutually agreed upon by the
Seller and the Agency (the "Escrow Holder"). The Escrow shall be
deemed open ("Opening of Escrow") upon delivery of a fully executed

Escrow Holder shall promptly confirm to the parties the escrow
number and the title insurance order number assigned to the Escrow.
(b) In the event that the Developer has not delivered
its Due Diligence Approval Certificate to the Agency and the Escrow
Holder within sixty (60) days from the Opening of Escrow for any
reason, then in such event this Agreement shall terminate upon
written notice to the Escrow Holder from either the Agency or the
Developer, whereupon the Deposit shall be returned by the Escrow
Holder to the Developer (less an amount equal to the customary and
reasonable escrow cancellation charges payable to the Escrow
Holder) without further or separate instruction to the Escrow
Holder, and the parties shall each be relieved and discharged from
all further responsibility or liability under this Agreement.
(c) Provided that the Developer has delivered its Due
Diligence Approval Certificate within the period of time authorized
in Section 2.03(b), then the Closing Date of the Escrow shall occur
within thirty (30) days thereafter, subject to the provisions of
Section 2.16 and Section 2.17. The words "Close of Escrow,"
"Closing Date" and "Closing" shall mean and refer to the date when
the Escrow Holder is in receipt of the Purchase Price and the
related Escrow documents of the parties and the Escrow Holder is in
a position to comply with the final written instructions of the
parties and cause the Agency Grant Deed for the Sites to be
recorded and the policy of insurance for the Sites to be delivered
to the Developer.
(d) The parties mutually covenant and agree to execute
all necessary or appropriate written Escrow instructions as may be
requested by the Escrow Holder. The Developer shall be solely
responsible for the payment of the escrow cancellation costs of the
Escrow Holder in any such event.
Section 2.04. Escrow Instructions. This Agreement also
constitutes escrow instructions of the parties to the Escrow
Holder. Additionally, the Developer and the Agency each agree to
execute the customary supplemental escrow instructions of the
Escrow Holder in the form provided by the Escrow Holder to its
clients in real property escrow transactions administered by it.
In the event of a conflict between the additional terms of such
customary supplemental escrow instructions of the Escrow Holder and
the provisions of this Agreement, this Agreement shall supersede
and be controlling. Upon any termination of this Agreement or
cancellation of the Escrow, the Escrow Holder shall forthwith
return all monies (as provided in this Agreement) and documents,
less only the Escrow Holder's customary and reasonable escrow
cancellation fees and expenses, as set forth herein.

materially affect a settlement. By execution of this Agreement,
the Developer acknowledges that it fully understands the foregoing,
and with this understanding, nonetheless elects to and does assume

expressly waives any rights it may have thereunder, as

Si te and the Phase I I Site. The Developer shall not place and
shall not allow to be placed on the Phase II Site any mortgage,
trust deed, deed of trust, encumbrance or lien not otherwise
authorized by this Agreement. The Developer shall remove, or shall
have removed, any levy or attachment made on the Phase II Site, or
shall assure the satisfaction thereof, within a reasonable time but
in any event prior to a sale of the Phase II Site, or any portion
thereof. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to prohibit the
Developer from contesting the validity or amounts of any tax
assessment, encumbrance or lien, nor to limit the remedies
available to the Developer in respect thereto. The covenants of
the Developer set forth in this Section relating to the placement
of any unauthorized mortgage, trust deed, deed of trust,
encumbrance or lien, shall remain in effect only until all
Certifica tes of Completion have been recorded with respect to

conveyance, lease, leaseback, or assignment of the whole or any

permi ts to facilitate the development of the Sites; (2) sales by
the Developer of individual residential lots to individual
purchasers of New Homes.
(b) It is understood and agreed by the Developer that
neither the Developer, nor its assigns or successors in interest to
the Sites or this Agreement, shall use or otherwise sell, transfer,
convey, assign, lease, leaseback or hypothecate the Phase I Site or
the Phase II Site or any portion thereof to any entity or party, or
for any use of the Phase I Site or the Phase II Site, that is
partially or wholly exempt from the payment of real property taxes
pertinent to the Phase I Site or the Phase II Site, or any portion
thereof, or which would cause the exemption of the payment of all
or any portion of such real property taxes.
(c) In the absence of specific written agreement or
approval by the Agency, no unauthorized sale, transfer, conveyance,
lease, leaseback or assignment of the Phase I Site or the Phase II
Site shall be deemed to relieve the Developer or any other party
from any obligations under this Agreement.
Section 3.05.
Securitv Financina: Riaht of Holders.
(a) Notwithstanding any provision of Section 3.04 to
the contrary, mortgages, deeds of trust, or any other form of lien
required for any reasonable method of financing the construction
and improvement of the Sites are permitted before the recordation
of any Certificate of Completion (referred to in Section 3.07 of
this Agreement). The Developer shall notify the Agency in writing
in advance of any mortgage, deed of trust, or other form of lien
for financing if the Developer proposes to enter into the same
before the recordation of any Certificate of Completion. The
Developer shall not enter into any such conveyance for construction
financing without the prior written approval of the Agency, which
approval the Agency may grant if: (i) any such conveyance is given
to a responsible financial or lending institution including,
without limitation, banks, savings and loan institutions, insurance
companies, real estate investment trusts, pension programs and the
like, or other acceptable persons or entities for the purpose of
constructing the New Homes on the Sites, (ii) such loan contains
customary construction lender disbursement controls including
covenants that no proceeds of such loan shall be disbursed to the
Developer as a "land draw" (except to discharge the security
interest of the Agency in one or more of the Phase II Lots) and
(iii) no more than twelve (12) of the Phase II Lots under the
SBEO/0001/OOC/3477-3
7/1/99 440 we
36
Agency's Deed of Trust shall be subordinate to such construction
loan at any time.
(b) The Developer shall promptly notify the Agency of
any mortgage, deed of trust or other refinancing, encumbrance or
lien that has been created or attached thereto prior to completion
of the construction of the improvements on the Sites whether by
voluntary act of the Developer or otherwise; provided, however,
that no notice of filing of preliminary notices or mechanic's liens
need be given by the Developer to the Agency prior to suit being
filed to foreclose such mechanic's lien.
(c) The words "mortgage" and "deed of trust" as used
herein shall be deemed to include all other customary and
appropriate modes of financing real estate construction and land
development. The Agency agrees to make such amendments regarding
the rights of any lender as the approved lender shall reasonably
require.
(d) The holder of any mortgage, deed of trust or other
security interest authorized by this Agreement shall in no manner
be obligated by the provisions of this Agreement to construct or
complete the improvement of the sites or to guarantee such
construction or completion, except to the extent that the
Developer, or its permitted successor or assign including such
holder of a mortgage, deed of trust or other security shall be
obligated to complete the installation of the subdivision public
improvements for Phase II Lots by a date no later than
200. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to
permit or authorize any such holder to devote either the Phase I
Site or the Phase II Site to any other use, or to construct any
other improvement thereon, except those uses or improvements
provided for or authorized by this Agreement.
(e) Whenever the Agency shall deliver any notice or
demand to the Developer with respect to any breach or default by
the Developer in the completion of construction of the
improvements, or any breach or default of any other obligations
which, if not cured by the Developer, entitle the Agency to
termina te this Agreement or exercise its right to re-enter the
Sites, or a portion thereof under Section 5.07, the Agency shall at
the same time deliver to each holder of record of any mortgage,
deed of trust or other security interest authorized by this
Agreement a copy of such notice or demand. Each such holder shall
(insofar as the rights of the Agency are concerned) have the right,
at its option, to commence the cure or remedy of any such default
and to diligently and continuously proceed with such cure or
remedy, within sixty (60) calendar days after the receipt of the
notice; and to add the cost thereof to the security interest debt
SBEO/0001/OOC/3477-3
7/1/99 440 we
37
and the lien of its security interest. If such default shall be a
default which can only be remedied or cured by such holder upon
obtaining possession, such holder shall seek to obtain possession
with diligence and continuity through a receiver or otherwise, and
shall remedy or cure such default within sixty (60) calendar days
after obtaining possession; provided that in the case of a default
which cannot with diligence be remedied or cured, or the remedy or
cure of which cannot be commenced, within such sixty (60) calendar
day period, such holder shall have such additional time as is
reasonably necessary to remedy or cure such default of the
Developer. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to
permi t or authorize such holder to undertake or continue the
construction or completion of the improvements (beyond the extent
necessary to conserve or protect the improvements or construction
already made) without first having expressly assumed the
Developer's obligations by written agreement satisfactory to the
Agency. The holder in that event must agree to complete, in the
manner provided in this Agreement, the improvements to which the
lien or title of such holder relates and must submit evidence
satisfactory to the Agency that it has the qualifications and
financial responsibility necessary to perform such obligations.
Any such holder completing such improvements in accordance herewith
shall be entitled, upon written request made to the Agency, to be
issued appropriate Certificates of Completion by the Agency.
(f) In any case where, one hundred eighty (180)
calendar days after default by the Developer in the completion of
construction of improvements under this Agreement, the holder of
any mortgage, deed of trust or other security interest creating a
lien or encumbrance upon the Property or any portion thereof has
not exercised the option to construct the applicable portions of
the proj ect, or has exercised the option but has not proceeded
diligently and continuously with construction, the Agency may
purchase the mortgage, deed of trust or other security interest by
payment to the holder of the amount of the unpaid debt, including
principal, accrued and unpaid interest, late charges, costs,
expenses and other amounts payable to the holder by the Developer
under the loan documents between holder and the Developer. If the
ownership of either the Phase I Site or the Phase II Site has
vested in the holder, the Agency, if it so desires, shall be
entitled to a conveyance from the holder to the Agency upon payment
to the holder of an amount equal to the sum of the following:
1. The unpaid mortgage, deed of trust or other
security interest debt, including principal,
accrued and unpaid interest, late charges, costs,
expenses and other amounts payable to the holder
by the Developer under the loan documents between
the holder and the Developer, at the time title
SBEO/0001/OOC/3477-3
7/1/99 440 we 38
became vested in the holder (less all appropriate
credits, including those resulting from collection
and application of rentals and other income
received during foreclosure proceedings.)
2. All expenses, if any, incurred by the holder with
respect to foreclosure.
3. The net expenses, if any (exclusive of general
overhead), incurred by the holder as a direct
result of the subsequent ownership or management
of the Phase I Site or the Phase II Site, such as
insurance premiums and real estate taxes.
4. The cost of any improvements made by such holder.
5. An amount equivalent to the interest that would
have accrued on the aggregate on such amounts had
all such amounts become part of the mortgage or
deed of trust debt and such debt had continued in
existence to the date of payment by the Agency.
6. After expiration of the aforesaid one hundred
eighty (180) calendar day period, the holder of
any mortgage, deed of trust or other security
affected by the option created by this Section,
may demand, in writing, that the Agency act
pursuant to the option granted hereby. If the
Agency fails to exercise the right herein granted
within sixty (60) calendar days from the date of
such written demand, the Agency shall be
conclusively deemed to have waived such right of
purchase of the applicable portion of either the
Phase I Site or the Phase II Site or the mortgage,
deed of trust or other security interest.
(g) In the event of a default or breach by the
Developer of a mortgage, deed of trust or other security interest
wi th respect to the Phase I Site or the Phase I I Site (or any
portion thereof) prior to the issuance of a Certificate of
Completion for the Phase I Site or the Phase II Site (or any
portion thereof), and the holder has not exercised its option to
complete the development, the Agency may cure the default but is
under no obligation to do so prior to completion of any
foreclosure. In such event, the Agency shall be entitled to
reimbursement from the Developer of all costs and expenses incurred
by the Agency in curing the default. The Agency shall also be
deemed to have a lien of the Agency as may arise under this Section
3.05(g) upon the Phase I Site or the Phase II Site (or any portion
SBEO/0001/OOC/3477-3
7/1/99 440 we
39
thereof) to the extent of such costs and disbursements. Any such
lien shall be subordinate and subject to mortgages, deeds of trust
or other security instruments executed by the Developer for the
purpose of obtaining the funds to construct and improve the Sites
as authorized herein.
Section 3.06. Riaht of the Aaencv to Satisfv Other Liens
on the Sites after Convevance of Title. After the conveyance of
title to the Sites by the Agency to the Developer and prior to the
recordation of all Certificates of Completion (referred to in
Section 3.07 of this Agreement), and after the Developer has had a
reasonable time to challenge, cure or satisfy any unauthorized
liens or encumbrances on the Sites, the Agency shall after sixty
(60) calendar days prior written notice to the Developer have the
right to satisfy any such liens or encumbrances; provided, however,
that nothing in this Agreement shall require the Developer to pay
or make provisions for the payment of any tax, assessment, lien or
charge so long as the Developer in good faith shall contest the
validity or amount thereof, and so long as such delay in payment
shall not subject the Sites, or any portion thereof, to forfeiture
or sale.
Section 3.07. Certificates of Completion.
(a) Following the written request therefor by the
Developer and the completion of construction of the improvements
on a Phase I Lot or a Phase II Lot, excluding any normal and
customary tenant improvements and minor building "punch-list" items
to be completed by the Developer upon said Lot, the Agency shall
furnish the Developer with a Certificate of Completion for the
Phase I Lot or the Phase II Lot, as applicable, as the Agency may,
in its sole discretion, deem appropriate, substantially in the form
set forth in Exhibit "F" attached hereto. A Certificate of
Completion with respect to a Phase II Lot shall be furnished to the
Developer only in conjunction with a Developer's request for a
release of said Phase II Lot from the Deed of Trust and the payment
by the Developer of all amounts required in connection with such
request for release. Notwi thstanding any provision set forth
herein to the contrary, the completion of construction of the
improvements on a Phase I Lot or a Phase II Lot shall be deemed to
include the completion of construction of a residence on said Lot
and any and all parking, landscaping and related improvements
necessary to support or which meet the requirements applicable to
the residence and its use. and occupancy on said Lot. Further, the
completion of construction and development of improvements on a
Phase II Lot shall be deemed to include the completion of all
subdivision public improvements with respect to the Phase II Site.
SBEO/0001/OOC/3477-3
7/1/99 440 we
40
(b) The Agency shall not unreasonably withhold the
issuance of a Certificate of Completion. A Certificate of
Completion shall be, and shall so state, that it is a conclusive
determination of satisfactory completion of all of the obligations
of this Agreement with respect to the development of a Phase I Lot
or a Phase II Lot, as applicable. After the recordation of the
Certificate of Completion, any party then owning or thereafter
purchasing, leasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in the
Phase I Lot or the Phase II Lot to which it pertains shall not
(because of such ownership, purchase, lease or acquisition) incur
any obligation or liability under this Agreement, except that such
party shall be bound by any covenants contained in the grant deed
or other instrument of transfer which grant deed or other
instrument of transfer shall include the provisions of Section 4.01
through 4.05, inclusive, of this Agreement. Neither the Agency nor
any other person, after the recordation of a Certificate of
Completion for a Phase I Lot or a Phase II Lot, shall have any
rights, remedies or controls that it would otherwise have or be
entitled to exercise under this Agreement with respect to said Lot,
as a result of a default in or breach of any provision of this
Agreement, and the respective rights and obligations of the parties
shall be limited to those set forth in the grant deed.
(c) Any Certificate of Completion shall be in such form
as to permit it to be recorded in the Recorder's Office of the
County where the Property is located.
(d) If the Agency refuses or fails to furnish a
Certificate of Completion for a Phase I Lot or a Phase II Lot after
written request from the Developer, the Agency shall, within
fifteen (IS) calendar days of the written request or within three
(3) calendar days after the next regular meeting of the Agency,
whichever date occurs later, provide to the Developer a written
statement setting forth the reasons with respect to the Agency's
refusal or failure to furnish a Certificate of Completion. The
statement shall also contain the Agency's opinion of the action the
Developer must take to obtain a Certificate of Completion. If the
reason for such refusal is confined to the immediate unavailability
of specific items or materials for construction or landscaping at
a price reasonably acceptable to the Developer or other minor
building "punch-list" items, the Agency may issue its Certificate
of Completion upon the posting of a bond or irrevocable letter of
credit, reasonably approved as to form and substance by the Agency
Counsel and obtained by the Developer in an amount representing a
fair value of the work not yet completed as reasonably determined
by the Agency. If the Agency shall have failed to provide such
written statement within the foregoing period, the Developer shall
be deemed conclusively and without further action of the Agency to
have satisfied the requirements of this Agreement with respect to
SBEO/0001/DOC/3477-3
7/1/99 440 we
41
the Phase I Lot or the Phase II Lot as if a Certificate of
Completion had been issued therefor.
(e) A Certificate of Completion shall not constitute
evidence of compliance with or satisfaction of any obligation of
the Developer to any holder of a mortgage, or any insurer of a
mortgage securing money loaned to finance the improvements
described herein, or any part thereof. A Certificate of Completion
shall not be deemed to constitute a notice of completion as
referred to in Section 3093 of the California Civil Code, nor shall
it act to terminate the continuing covenants or conditions
subsequent contained in the Agency Grant Deed attached hereto as
Exhibit "C".
