DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT This Development Agreement (the "Agreement") is entered into as of June 6 , 2022, by and between Big Hand Pepper, LLC ("Company"), and the City of Waterloo, Iowa ("City"). RECITALS A. City is the owner of real property formerly known as the Edison School site and identified as parcel no. 8913-22-312-002, legally described as set forth on Exhibit "A" attached hereto (the "Property"). Company desires to undertake a project on the Property and is willing and able to finance and construct thirty-two (32) single-family dwellings and related improvements thereon. B. City considers affordable housing development within the City a benefit to the community and is willing for the overall good and welfare of the community to provide financial incentives to encourage that goal. City believes that such development is in the vital and best interests of the City and in accordance with the public purposes and provisions of the applicable State and local laws and requirements under which the Projects (defined below) have been undertaken and are being assisted. AGREEMENT NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants set forth herein, the parties agree as follows: 1. Sale of Property; Title. Subject to the terms hereof, City shall convey the Property to Company for the sum of $1.00 (the "Purchase Price"). Conveyance shall be by quit claim deed, free and clear of all encumbrances arising by or through City except: (a) easements, servitudes, conditions and restrictions of record; (b) current and future real estate real property taxes and assessments subject to the agreements made herein; (c) general utility and right-of-way easements serving the Property; and (d) restrictions imposed by the City zoning ordinances and other applicable law. City shall 1 have no duty to convey title to Company until Company has delivered to City reasonable and satisfactory proof of financial ability to undertake and carry on the Project (defined below), which may take the form of a lending commitment letter. Company may, at its own expense, obtain whatever form of title evidence it desires. If title is unmarketable or subject to matters not acceptable to Company, and if City does not remedy or remove such objectionable matters in timely fashion following written notice of such objections from Company, Company may terminate this Agreement without further obligation. City shall provide any title documents it has in its possession, including any abstracts, to assist in title review. 2. Improvements by Company. Company acknowledges that it has had a reasonable opportunity to inspect the Property and to conduct other due diligence related to the Project. Company agrees to accept the Property in its "AS IS" condition, without any warranty from City, expressed or implied, as to the condition of the Property, its marketability, or its fitness for any particular purpose. At its own cost Company shall: (a) take all measures necessary to prepare the Property for development, (b) plat a subdivision for the Property, including therein such dedications, easement reservations, and restrictions as are required by or acceptable to City, which dedications shall include an area of approximately 2.2 acres in the northeast portion of the Property for public park purposes (the "Park"), (c) construct to a finished state thirty-two (32) single-family dwellings, including installation of driveways and sidewalks for each lot, (d) install all necessary infrastructure (including but not limited to extension of water and sewer) to support the Project, (e) install a street in place of the existing alley between Bismark Avenue and Harwood Avenue, (f) install a new street within the subdivision, and (g) be responsible for removal of all construction debris, proper leveling or shaping of groundscape, and grassing and/or landscaping. (Construction and finishing as so described in each the foregoing clauses are referred to collectively as the "Improvements", and the improvements described in clauses (d), (e), and (f) are referred to as the "Infrastructure Improvements"). The Improvements shall be constructed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, all applicable City, state, and federal building codes and shall comply with all applicable City ordinances and other applicable law. Company will use its best efforts to obtain, or cause to be obtained, in a timely manner, all required permits, licenses and approvals, and will meet, in a timely manner, all requirements of all applicable local, state, and federal laws and regulations which must be obtained or met before the Improvements may be lawfully constructed. The Property, the Improvements, and all site preparation and development -related work to be undertaken and completed by Company under this Agreement are collectively referred to as the "Project". 3. Construction Plans. Company agrees that it will cause the Improvements to be constructed on the Property in conformance with construction plans 2 (the "Plans") submitted to the City, which Plans shall be subject to approval as provided in this Section. Company agrees that the scope and scale of the Improvements to be constructed shall not be significantly less than the scope and scale of the Improvements as detailed and outlined in the Plans. City shall approve the Plans in writing if: (a) the Plans conform to the terms and conditions of this Agreement; (b) the Plans conform to all applicable federal, state and local laws, ordinances, rules and regulations and City permit and design review requirements; (c) the Plans are adequate for purposes of this Agreement to provide for the construction of the Improvements, and (d) no Event of Default under the terms of this Agreement has occurred; provided, however, that any such approval of the Plans pursuant to this Section shall constitute approval for the purposes of this Agreement only and shall not be deemed to constitute approval or waiver by the City with respect to any building, fire, zoning or other ordinances or regulations of the City, and shall not be deemed to be sufficient plans to serve as the basis for the issuance of a building permit if the Plans are not as detailed or complete as the plans otherwise required for the issuance of a building permit. Approval of Plans hereunder shall not constitute approval for any other City purpose nor subject the City to any liability for the Improvements as constructed. The Plans must be rejected in writing by City within thirty (30) days of submission or shall be deemed to have been approved by the City. If City rejects the Plans in whole or in part, Company shall submit new or corrected Plans within thirty (30) days after receipt by Company of written notification of the rejection, accomplished by a written statement of the City specifying the respects in which Company's Plans fail to conform to the requirements of this Section. The provisions of this Section relating to approval, rejection and resubmission of corrected Plans shall continue to apply until the Plans have been approved by the City; provided, however, that in any event Company shall submit Plans which are approved by City prior to commencement of construction of the Improvements. Approval of the Plans by the City shall not relieve Company of any obligation to comply with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, or the provision of applicable federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, nor shall approval of the Plans by City be deemed to constitute a waiver of any Event of Default. 4. Timeliness of Construction; Possibility of Reverter. The parties agree that Company's commitment to cause the Project to be undertaken and to construct the Improvements in a timely manner constitutes a material inducement for the City to extend the incentives provided for in this Agreement, and that without said commitment City would not have done so. A. Subject to Unavoidable Delays (defined below), Company must obtain a building permit and begin construction of the Improvements, including but not limited to the Infrastructure Improvements, within four (4) months after the date of this Agreement (the "Project Start Date"), and construction of Infrastructure Improvements and four (4) homes must be Substantially Completed within twelve (12) months after the date of this Agreement (the "First 3 Phase Completion Date"). Company shall thereafter continue construction of new homes and related improvements on a schedule so that no less than four (4) homes are Substantially Completed per calendar year. For purposes of this Agreement, "Substantially Completed" means the date on which the Improvements have been completed to the extent necessary for the City to issue a certificate of occupancy relating thereto. B. If Company has not begun construction of the Improvements before the Project Start Date, City may terminate this Agreement as set forth in Section 15, and City shall have no further obligation hereunder with respect to such Project. If construction has not begun by the Project Start Date but the development of the Project is still imminent, the City Council may, but shall not be required to, grant an extension of the First Phase Completion Date. If construction has commenced within the required period or any extended period and is stopped and/or delayed as a result of an act of God, war, civil disturbance, court order, labor dispute, fire, or other cause beyond the reasonable control of Company (each of the foregoing is an "Unavoidable Delay"), then time lost as a result of Unavoidable Delays shall be added to extend the First Phase Completion Date by a number of days equal to the number of days lost as a result of Unavoidable Delays. If construction is not completed within the allowed period of extension, City may terminate this Agreement as set forth in Section 15, title to the Property shall revert to the City, and City shall have no further obligation hereunder with respect to such Project, nor any duty to compensate Company for any work or materials provided before the termination date or for the added value of any Improvements completed or partially completed. As promptly as possible, Company shall notify City in writing of the occurrence of any Unavoidable Delay and shall again notify City in writing when the Unavoidable Delay has ended. C. Termination of this Agreement by City, and any related reverter of title obligations, shall not apply with respect to any area on which Improvements have been Substantially Completed or substantial progress toward completion is being made in City's reasonable judgment (the Property other than such excepted area(s) being the "Undeveloped Property"). In the event of any termination, City shall have no further obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Undeveloped Property. D. If Company determines at any time that the Project, in whole or in part, is not economically feasible, then after giving thirty (30) days' advance written notice to City, Company may convey the Undeveloped Property to City by special warranty deed, free and clear of any lien, claim, or encumbrance arising by or through Company, and thereupon neither party shall have any further obligation under this Agreement with respect to the Undeveloped Property, except as expressly provided. In connection with any conveyance to City, Company shall pay in full, so as to discharge or satisfy, all liens, claims, charges, and encumbrances on or against the Undeveloped Property or any part thereof. 4 5. Reverter of Title; Indemnity. In the event of any reverter of title, Company agrees that it shall, at its own expense, promptly execute all documents, including but not limited to a special warranty deed, or take such other actions as the City may reasonably request to effectuate said reverter and to deliver to City title to the reverted Property that is free and clear of any lien, claim, charge, security interest, mortgage or encumbrance (collectively, "Liens") arising by or through Company. Company shall pay in full, so as to discharge or satisfy, all Liens on or against the reverted Property. In connection with any reverter of title, Company shall not be entitled to a refund of the Purchase Price. Appointment of Attorney in Fact: If Company fails to deliver such documents, including but not limited to a special warranty deed, to City within thirty (30) days after written demand by City, then on Company's behalf and as its attorney -in -fact City shall be authorized, but no required, to execute the special warranty deed required by this Section, and for such limited purpose Company does hereby constitute and appoint City as its attorney -in -fact. Company further agrees that it shall indemnify City and hold it harmless with respect to any demand, claim, cause of action, damage, cost, expense, liability or injury made, suffered, or incurred as a result of or in connection with the Project, or Company's failure to carry on or complete same, or any Lien or Liens on or against the reverted Property of any type or nature whatsoever that attaches to the reverted Property by virtue of Company's ownership of same. If City files suit to enforce the terms of this Agreement and prevails in such suit, then Company shall be liable for all legal expenses, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by City. Company's duties of indemnity pursuant to this Section shall survive the expiration, termination or cancellation of this Agreement for any reason. 6. Utilities. Company will be responsible for extending water, sewer, telephone, telecommunications, electricity, gas and other utility services to any location on the Property and for payment of any associated connection fees. 7. Incentives. The incentives described in the following subsections of this Section 7 are in addition to the other Project incentives extended by City to Company hereunder. A. Vacated Alley. City agrees to take all steps necessary to vacate the alley lying between Lots 342 and 415, and the half alley adjacent to Lot 414, and to convey same to Company by quit claim deed concurrently with conveyance of the Property. The provisions of Section 1 pertaining to abstract update and title review shall apply. B. Infill Grant. As provided in the City's infill housing policy, City will pay a grant of $5,000.00 to Company for timely completion of each dwelling unit of the Improvements. Each such grant will be payable within sixty (60) days after City has verified that a given unit has been Substantially Completed. C. Partial Tax Exemption. Because the Property is located in a designated Consolidated Urban Revitalization Area (CURA), the Property is 5 eligible for tax exemption consistent with and to the extent provided for in Iowa law and City ordinance, provided that Company meets all requirements to qualify for such exemption. D. Sidewalk installation. In connection with construction of the Park, City will install a 6-foot wide sidewalk between Harwood Avenue and Bismark Avenue following a path as indicated in approved Plans. Company agrees to allow all access to the Property that is reasonably necessary for City, its employees, contractors and agents, to construct said sidewalk. Company shall be responsible to construct all other sidewalks at its own expense. After construction, maintenance of all sidewalks will be the sole cost and responsibility of Company or its successors in interest. 8. No Encumbrances; Limited Exception. Until completion of the Improvements, Company agrees that it shall not create, incur, or suffer to exist any Liens on the Property, other than such mortgage or mortgages as may be reasonably necessary to finance Company's completion of the Improvements and of which Company notifies City before Company executes any such mortgage. Company may not mortgage the Property or any part thereof for any purpose except in connection with financing of the Improvements. 9. No Assignment or Conveyance. Company agrees that it will not sell, convey, assign or otherwise transfer its interest in the Property prior to completion of the Project, whether in whole or in part, to any other person or entity without the prior written consent of City. Reasonable grounds for the City to withhold its consent shall include but are not limited to the inability of the proposed transferee to demonstrate to the City's satisfaction that it has the financial ability to observe all of the terms to be performed by Company under this Agreement. 10. Additional Covenants of Company. In addition to the other promises, covenants and agreements of Company as provided elsewhere in this Agreement, Company agrees as follows: A.
