DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT August hisDevelopment Agreement (the "Agreement") is entered into as of , 2024 by and between Iowa Heartland Habitat for Humanity ("Company"), and the City of Waterloo, Iowa ("City"). RECITALS A. Company is the owner or is in the process of acquiring real property at 512 Almond Street, Waterloo, Iowa (the "Property") and is willing and able to finance and undertake the construction of new homes on the Property and to make related improvements. B. City considers infill residential 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 Project (defined below) has been undertaken and is being assisted. AGREEMENT NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants set forth herein, the parties agree as follows: 1. Improvements by Company. At its own cost Company shall construct to a finished state either two (2) single-family dwellings or a multi-family dwelling, including sidewalk, garage(s) and driveway, and shall 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 are referred to collectively as the "Improvements"). The Property consists of two platted lots, and Company shall construct one dwelling on each lot if single-family dwellings are constructed. 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 shall submit specific plans, building designs and site plans for City review and approval before the commencement of construction and shall not substantially deviate from such plans, specifications or designs. 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." 2. Timeliness of Construction; Possibility of Termination. 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 do so. A. Deadlines to commence and complete. Subject to Unavoidable Delays (defined below), Company must Substantially Complete construction of the Improvements within three (3) years after the date of this Agreement. If Company constructs single-family dwellings, then the first dwelling shall be Substantially Completed within twenty four (24) months after the date of this Agreement (together, the "Completion Deadlines"). For purposes of this Agreement, "Substantially Complete" 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 and the City has verified that Project elements for which no permit was necessary have been completed to City's reasonable satisfaction. All deadlines are subject to Unavoidable Delays as defined in paragraph B below. The City's Community Planning and Development Director may, but shall not be required to, consent to an extension of time of up to six (6) months for the construction of any phase of the Improvements. Any additional or longer time extensions will require consent of the City Council. B. Events triggering termination. If Company does not begin or Substantially Complete construction of the Improvements on the schedule(s) stated above, subject to Unavoidable Delays, then City may terminate this Agreement as set forth in Section 9, and City shall then have no further obligation to Company under this Agreement. If development has commenced within the required period, as the same may be extended, and is subsequently stopped 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 an "Unavoidable Delay"), the requirement that construction be completed by a Completion Deadline shall be tolled for a period of time equal to the period of Unavoidable Delay. 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. If City terminates this Agreement as provided in Section 9, City shall have no further obligations to Company under this Agreement, including but not limited to any legal or equitable obligation to reimburse Company for any costs expended by Company with respect to the Project. In connection with termination of the Agreement as set forth herein, City may demand reimbursement of any sums paid to or for the benefit of Company in connection with the Project, in addition to exercising any other available remedies. 3. Utilities. Company will be responsible for extending water, sewer, telephone, telecommunications, electricity, gas and other utility services from street right of way to any location on the Property and for payment of any associated connection fees. 4. City Incentives. To aid the Project, City agrees to provide the following assistance: A. Acquisition Grant.

C. Demolition. After Company acquires ownership of the Property, Company shall provide reasonable cooperation to City and its contractor(s) to achieve City's demolition of current structures on 512 Almond Street and removal of debris. City shall level the site to grade. City shall not otherwise undertake any actions to prepare the Property for Company's purposes. D. Property Title. The parties acknowledge that 512 Almond Street is the subject of a lawsuit by City in the Iowa District Court for Black Hawk County, case no. EQCV150098 (the "Suit") against persons (collectively, "Adams") having record ownership thereof at the time Suit was filed, and that City subsequently obtained judgment awarding title to City, which judgment has been contested. City agrees to work with Adams to vacate or rescind the Suit judgment and dismiss the Suit, or to take such other steps as the parties may mutually agree in order to re-vest title in Adams. Any action by City does not constitute, nor shall be construed as, any representation or warranty by City as to Property title, but is intended only to extinguish any right, title, interest or claim of City in or to the Property arising from or in connection with the Suit. 5. 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.
