Actions and Events at the Closing.

(b) The Borrower will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Purchaser at the place set forth in Item 4 in Exhibit B, or at such other place or places as the parties hereto may mutually agree upon, the materials described in Section 7.2.

Section 9. Termination of Agreement. The Purchaser may terminate this Agreement, without liability therefor, by notifying you at any time prior to the Closing if: (a) Any legislation is introduced in, or enacted by, the United States Congress, or shall have been reported out of committee or be pending in committee, or any decision is rendered by any court of competent jurisdiction, or any ruling or regulation, temporary regulation, release or announcement shall have been issued or proposed by the Treasury Department of the United States, the Internal Revenue Service, or any other agency of the government of the United States that, in the reasonable judgment of the Purchaser, has the purpose or effect of subjecting interest on the Bonds to inclusion in gross income for purposes of federal income taxation; or 8 (b) Any legislation is introduced in, or enacted by the United States Congress or any action is taken by, or on behalf of, the Securities and Exchange Commission, that, in the opinion of counsel to the Purchaser has the effect of requiring (i) the contemplated purchase of the Bonds, or the Indenture or the Loan Agreement to be registered under the 1933 Act or the Indenture to be qualified under the 1939 Act, or (ii) any governmental consents, approvals, orders or authorizations for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Issuer Documents or the Loan Documents which cannot, without undue expense, be obtained prior to the Closing Date. (c) In the judgment of the Purchaser it becomes impracticable to market, purchase or sell the Bonds or to enforce commitments for the purchase of Bonds because (A) additional material restrictions not in force as of the date hereof shall have been imposed upon trading in securities generally by any governmental authority or by any national securities exchange; (B) a general banking moratorium shall have been established by federal, New York or California authorities; or (C) a war involving the United States of America shall have been declared, or any other national or international calamity shall have occurred, or any conflict involving the armed forces of the United States of America shall have escalated to such a magnitude as to materially affect the ability of the Purchaser to purchase or sell the Bonds; or (d) Any litigation shall be instituted, pending or threatened to restrain or enjoin the issuance or sale of the Bonds or in any way contesting any authority or security for or the validity of the Bonds, or the existence or powers of the Issuer; or (e) Legislation shall have been introduced in or enacted by the legislature of the State that would, in the reasonable judgment of the Purchaser, adversely affect the security for the Bonds; or (f) There shall have occurred any change that, in the reasonable judgment of the Purchaser, makes unreasonable or unreliable any of the assumptions upon which (i) yield on the Bonds for purposes of compliance with the Code, (ii) payment of debt service on the Bonds, or (iii) the basis for the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of interest on the Bonds, is predicated; or (g) There shall have occurred any outbreak or material escalation of hostilities or other calamity or crisis, the effect of which on the financial markets of the United States is such as to make it, in the reasonable opinion of the Purchaser, impractical to enforce commitments for the purchase of the Bonds; or (h) The Issuer shall fail to execute and deliver or to obtain one or more filings, consents, approvals, authorizations, registrations or other action requested by the Purchaser to be obtained or taken by the Issuer and such failure is based upon the Issuer’s conclusion that such action is unduly burdensome and the Purchaser shall reasonably conclude that, as a result of the Issuer’s failure to so execute and deliver or to obtain what has been requested by the Purchaser, the purchase of the Bonds will be materially adversely affected. Section 10. Fees and Expenses; Costs of Issuance. All costs, fees and expenses incident to the performance of the Issuer's, Purchaser’s and Borrower's obligations in connection with the issuance and purchase of the Bonds, including the reasonable expenses of counsel, as well as expenses relating to the meals, transportation, lodging, and entertainment incidental to implementing this Agreement, shall be paid by the Borrower to the Trustee by wire transfer of immediately available funds on the Closing Date. Section 11. Indemnification by Borrower. 9 (a) The Borrower agrees to pay, defend, protect, indemnify, save and hold harmless the Issuer, the Purchaser and each affiliate, member, officer, director, official, employee and agent of the Issuer and the Purchaser and each person, if any, who controls any of the foregoing within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (referred to herein as an “Indemnified Party” and collectively as the “Indemnified Parties”), against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), causes of action (whether in contract, tort or otherwise), suits, claims, demands and judgments of any kind, character and nature (collectively referred to herein as the “Liabilities”) caused by or directly or indirectly arising from or in any way relating to the Bonds, the Project, the loan of the proceeds of the Bonds, the Loan Agreement, the Indenture, this Agreement or any document related to the the Bonds, the Project, the loan of the proceeds of the Bonds (the “Transaction Documents”) or any transaction or agreement, written or oral, pertaining to the foregoing; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to indemnify, save or hold harmless an Indemnified Party for losses caused by the gross negligence or the willful misconduct of the Indemnified Party. (b) The Borrower also agrees to pay, defend, protect, indemnify, save and hold harmless the Purchaser and each affiliate, member, officer, director, official, employee and agent of the Purchaser from and against the Liabilities directly or indirectly arising from or relating to (i) any errors or omissions of any nature whatsoever contained in any legal proceedings or other official representation or inducement made by the Issuer pertaining to the Bonds and (ii) any fraud or misrepresentations or omissions contained in the proceedings of the Issuer pertaining to the financial condition of the Borrower. (c) The Indemnified Party shall, shall, in the event of any claim, suit, action or proceeding against it with respect to which indemnity may be sought on account of any indemnity agreement by the Borrower contained herein, promptly give written notice thereof to the Borrower. When such notice is given, the Borrower shall be entitled to participate, at its own expense, in the defense of, or if it so elects, to assume the defense of, such claim, suit, action or proceeding, in which event such defense shall be conducted by counsel chosen by the Borrower, provided that each Indemnified Party shall have the right to review and approve or disapprove any compromise or settlement which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. If the Borrower shall elect not to assume such defense, it shall assume the payment of all expenses related thereto. Notwithstanding the above, each Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action or proceeding and to participate in the investigation and defense thereof, provided that the Borrower shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the Borrower to represent the Indemnified Party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the Indemnified Party and the Borrower and the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other Indemnified Parties that are different from or additional to those available to the Borrower, (iii) the Borrower shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Party to represent the Indemnified Party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action, or (iv) the Borrower shall authorize the Indemnified Party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Borrower. Each and every Indemnified Party shall have the right to compromise, settle or conclude any claim, action or proceeding against it with the written consent of the Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The foregoing notwithstanding, in the event that the Borrower shall assume such defense and any Indemnified Party or Parties shall be advised by independent legal counsel that counsel selected by the Borrower is not fully and adequately protecting such party or parties and representing the interests of such party or parties and the Borrower has been given written notice thereof and a reasonable opportunity to cure or find other counsel acceptable to the Indemnified Parties, any such Indemnified Party or Parties shall have the right to conduct its own defense against any such claim, suit, action or proceeding in addition to or in lieu of any defense conducted by the Borrower, and the Indemnifying 10 Party shall indemnify and hold harmless such Indemnified Party or Parties against and from any and all suits, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses whatsoever, including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel selected by such Indemnified Party or Parties incurred by and arising out of or in connection with any such claim, suit, action or proceeding. (d) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity provided for in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 11 is for any reason held to be unavailable, the Borrower and the Indemnified Party shall contribute proportionately to the aggregate Liabilities to which the Borrower and the Indemnified Party may be subject, so that the Indemnified Party is responsible for that portion represented by the percentage that the fees paid by the Borrower to the Indemnified Party in connection with the issuance and administration of the Bonds bear to the aggregate offering price of the Bonds, with the Borrower responsible for for the balance; provided, however, that in no case shall the Indemnified Party be responsible for any amount in excess of the fees paid by the Borrower to the Indemnified Party in connection with the issuance and administration of the Bonds. (e) The Indemnified Parties, other than the Issuer and the Purchaser, shall be considered to be third party beneficiaries of this Agreement for purposes of this Section 11. The provisions of this Section 11 will be in addition to all liability which the Borrower may otherwise have and shall survive any termination of this Agreement, the offering and sale of the Bonds and the payment or provisions for payment of the Bonds. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such misrepresentation. (f) The indemnification hereunder shall be in addition to, and shall not limit, any indemnity granted by the Borrower pursuant to the Loan Agreement or any other document. Section 12.

The documents listed in A through [Y] above are referred to collectively as the “Loan Documents.” The documents listed as N and O above, are referred to collectively as the “Guarantor Documents.” We have examined pertinent statutes and regulations and copies, certified or otherwise, identified to our satisfaction of such records of Borrower and Guarantors and have done such other investigation as we have considered necessary as a basis for the opinions hereinafter expressed. In the course of our examination and review and in connection with the opinions hereafter expressed, we have assumed the due authorization, execution and delivery of all documents by all parties thereto other than Borrower and Guarantors. We have also made such inquiries of Borrower and Guarantors and others as we have deemed necessary in connection with this opinion. In basing the opinion set forth in this opinion on “our knowledge”, the words “our knowledge” signify that, in the course of our representation of Borrower and Guarantor, no facts have come to our attention that would give us actual knowledge or actual notice that any such opinions or other matters are E-4 not accurate or that any of the Loan Documents are not accurate and complete. “Our knowledge” is a qualification as to factual matters and information, as qualified in this paragraph, and is not a qualification as to our knowledge of applicable laws, regulations, rulings and court decisions. Based on the foregoing, it is our opinion that: 1. Borrower is a limited partnership, duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of California, and is qualified and in good standing wherever such qualification and/or standing are required, including the State of California. 2. Borrower has full legal right, power and authority to own its properties and conduct its business as now conducted, to borrow the proceeds of the Loan, and to execute and perform its obligations under the Loan Documents. 3. General Partner is a [__________] duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of [__________] and has all requisite corporate/limited liability company/partnership power and all material governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals necessary to own and operate its property and conduct its business. General Partner is qualified to do business in the State of [__________]. 4. Corporate Guarantor is a [__________] duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of [__________] and has all requisite corporate/limited liability company/partnership power and all material governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals necessary to own and operate its property and conduct its business. 5. All necessary partnership action, including required approvals, if any, by all partners of Borrower including General Partner, has been taken to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents by Borrower. The individual or individuals who have executed the Loan Documents on behalf of General Partner of Borrower have the authority to bind General Partner and thereby Borrower to the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents. 6. All necessary limited partnership action, including required approvals, if any, by [directors and shareholders/members/partners] of Corporate Guarantor, has been taken to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Guarantor Documents by Corporate Guarantor. The individual or individuals who have executed the Guarantor Documents on behalf of Corporate Guarantor have the authority to bind Corporate Guarantor to the terms and conditions of the Guarantor Documents. 7. To the best of our knowledge after due and diligent inquiry, no authorization, consent, approval, license, exemption of, or filing or registration with, any municipal, county, state or Federal court or governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality is or will be necessary for the valid execution or delivery by Borrower of the Loan Documents or by any Guarantor of the Guarantor Documents or their performance of their respective obligations thereunder, other than any any filings, notices or recordings which may be required for the perfection of any liens, pledges or security interests granted pursuant to the Loan Documents or Guarantor Documents. E-5 8. To the best of our knowledge after due and diligent inquiry, as of the date of this opinion letter, none of Borrower, General Partner nor any Guarantor is in any material respect in violation of, breach of or default under any applicable Constitutional provision or law of any state or of the United States, or any order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over Borrower, General Partner, or any Guarantor or any of their activities, properties or assets, or any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, resolution, note agreement (including, without limitation, the Loan Documents) or other agreement or instrument to which any of Borrower, General Partner, or any Guarantor is a party or by which any of Borrower, General Partner or any Guarantor or any of their property or assets is bound, and no event has occurred and is continuing which with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute such a default or event of default under any such instruments; and the execution and delivery of the Bonds, the Loan Documents and the Guarantor Documents, and compliance with the provisions on Borrower’s, General Partner’s or any Guarantor’s part contained therein, do not and will not conflict with, or constitute on the part of Borrower, General Partner or any Guarantor a violation of, breach of or default under, any applicable constitutional provision or law of any state or of the United States, or any order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over Borrower, General Partner or any Guarantor or any of their activities, properties or assets, or any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, resolution, note agreement or other agreement or instrument to which Borrower, General Partner, or any Guarantor is a party or by which Borrower, General Partner or any Guarantor or any of their property or assets is bound, nor will any such execution, delivery or compliance result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or other security interest or encumbrance of any nature whatsoever upon any of the property or assets of Borrower, General Partner or any Guarantor or under the terms of any such law, regulation or instrument, except as provided by the Bonds, the Loan Documents or the Guarantor Documents. 9. To the best of our knowledge after due and diligent inquiry, other than any filings, notices or recordings which may be required for the perfection of any liens, pledges or security interests granted pursuant to the Loan Documents, Borrower has obtained all material permits, licenses or other authorizations or approvals necessary under the laws of the State of California and the United States of America for the operation of the Project as multifamily residential rental housing and all such licenses, permits, authorizations and approvals are valid and are in full force and effect. 10. Each of the Loan Documents has been duly executed and delivered by Borrower and constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of Borrower, enforceable against Borrower in accordance with its terms, subject to (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally, and (ii) the exercise of judicial discretion in accordance with general principles of equity (whether applied by a court of law or of equity); and (iii) certain remedies, waivers, and other provisions of the Loan Documents may not be enforceable, but, subject to the qualifications set forth in the foregoing subparagraphs (i) and (ii), such unenforceability will not preclude (a) the enforcement of the obligation of the Borrower to pay the principal, interest and prepayment premium, if any, as provided in the Note, and (b) the foreclosure of the Security Instrument upon the event of a material breach. 11. The execution and delivery of, and the performance of the obligations under, the Loan Documents, will not violate the Borrower Organizational Documents nor the organizational documents of General Partner . E-6 12. Neither the execution and delivery by Borrower of the Loan Documents, nor the fulfillment of the terms of the Loan Documents violate any law or regulations applicable to Borrower or court decree known to us to be applicable to Borrower; and, to the best of our knowledge after due and diligent inquiry, none of such actions will result in a breach of, or constitute a default under any agreement, indenture or other instruments to which Borrower or General Partner is a party or by which it is bound. 13. Each of the Guarantor Documents has been duly executed and delivered by each Guarantor and constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of each Guarantor, enforceable against each Guarantor in accordance with its terms, subject to (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally, and (ii) the exercise of judicial discretion in accordance with general principles of equity (whether applied by a court of law or of equity). 14. The execution and delivery of, and the performance of the obligations under, the Guarantor Documents, will not violate the Guarantor Organizational Documents. 15. Neither the execution and delivery by Guarantors of the Guarantor Documents, nor the fulfillment of the terms of the Guarantor Documents violate any law or regulations applicable to any Guarantor or court decree known to us to be applicable to any Guarantor; and, to the best of our knowledge after due and diligent inquiry, none of such actions will result in a breach of, or constitute a default under any agreement, indenture or other instruments to which any Guarantor is a party or by which it is bound. 16. To the best of our knowledge after due and diligent inquiry, as of the Closing Date, there is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation, at law or in equity, before or by any judicial or administrative court or governmental agency or body, state, Federal or other, pending or, to the best of our knowledge, threatened against Borrower, General Partner or any Guarantor, affecting the existence of Borrower, General Partner or any Guarantor or the titles of its officers to their respective offices, or contesting or affecting as to Borrower, General Partner or any Guarantor the validity or enforceability of the Act (as defined in the Indenture), the Bonds, any Loan Document or any Guarantor Document or the execution and delivery or adoption by Borrower of any Loan Document or Guarantor of any Guarantor Document or in any way contesting or challenging the powers of Borrower, General Partner or any Guarantor or its authority with respect to the Loan Documents or the Guarantor Documents, as applicable, or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby; nor, to the best of our knowledge after due and diligent inquiry, is there any basis for any such action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation, wherein an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding would materially adversely affect the financial condition or operations of Borrower, General Partner or any Guarantor or the validity of the authorization, execution, delivery or performance by Borrower or General Partner of any Loan Documents or by any Guarantor of any Guarantor Documents. 17. The Mortgage is in appropriate form for recordation in the land records of [__________] and upon such recordation, will create the encumbrance and security interest it purports to create in the real property, including fixtures, as described in the Mortgage. Enforcement of the remedies provided in the Mortgage with respect to Borrower or the Project will not, except as expressly limited by the terms of the Mortgage, deprive any secured party of its right to seek a deficiency or personal judgment nor will it limit the E-7 right to foreclose on other security or collateral securing the debt. The Mortgage satisfies the requirements of [applicable state statute governing mortgages]. 18. Filing of the Financing Statements in the office of the [Office of the County Clerk/Recorder of Deeds] of [_____] County, California and in the Office of the Secretary of State of the State of California (collectively, the “Filing Offices”), will perfect the security interest granted under the Loan Documents in the personal property (the “Personalty”) of Borrower located in the State of California. The Filing Offices are the only offices in the State of California in which the Financing Statement(s) are required to be filed in order to perfect the security interest in the Personalty as contemplated by the Loan Documents. 19. Filing of the Financing Statements in the office of the Office of the Secretary of State of the State of California will perfect the security interest granted under the Hedge Security Agreement in the collateral described in collateral described in the Hedge Agreement (the “Hedge Collateral”). The Office of the Secretary of State of the State of California is the only office in the State of California in which the Financing Statement(s) are required to be filed in order to perfect the security interest in the Hedge Collateral as contemplated by the Hedge Security Agreement. 20. Only the Issuer Assignment and the Financing Statements are required under the laws of the State of California to be recorded or filed in order to effect a valid and binding assignment of the Loan to the Trustee (assuming the Issuer Assignment and the endorsement to the Note have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Issuer). In connection therewith, the [Office of the County Clerk/Recorder of Deeds] of [_____] County, California is the only office in the State of California in which the Issuer Assignment is required to be recorded or filed. Assuming the Issuer Assignment and the endorsement of the Note are duly authorized, executed, and delivered by the Issuer and the Issuer Assignment is recorded in the appropriate offices of the State of California and the Financing Statements are filed in Filing Offices, the Issuer Assignment and the endorsement of the Note are adequate under the laws of the State of California to effect a valid and binding assignment of the Loan to the Trustee. 21. Under the laws of the State of California, the holder of the Loan is not required to pay interest to Borrower on any escrow or reserve accounts established by such holder or any other party for the payment of real estate taxes and assessments or insurance premiums or for replacements to the Project. 22. The Loan Documents are governed by the laws of the State of California and with reference to the usury laws of the State of California, in which the Project is located, the payment of all interest, loan fees, late fees, prepayment premiums, the default rate of interest and other charges under and pursuant to the Loan Documents are not usurious under the law of such State. No Federal, state or local laws in the nature of truth-inlending, real estate settlement procedures, equal credit opportunity or disclosure, apply to the loan made pursuant to the Loan Documents. 23. Except for certain fees for recording charged by the Filing Offices and the Secretary of State of the State of California, no recording, filing, privilege or other tax must be paid in connection with the execution, delivery, recordation or enforcement of any of the Loan Documents. E-8 The opinions set forth above are subject to the following qualifications: (i) We express no opinion with respect to the relative priority of the liens or security interests created by any of the Loan Documents. We have assumed that Borrower has rights in the Project. We understand that, with respect to the real property, you are relying upon a mortgagee’s title insurance policy insuring the lien on the Project, and, with respect to the Personalty, you are relying on UCC lien searches and Financing Statements. We also have assumed the recordation and filing of the Mortgage and Financing Statements in accordance with this opinion following their execution and delivery by Borrower. (ii) The Uniform Commercial Code of the State of California requires the periodic filing of continuation statements with the Secretary of State and the Filing Offices not more than six (6) months prior to and not later than the expiration of the five (5) year period from the date of filing of the Financing Statement and the expiration of each subsequent five (5) year period after the original filing, in order to maintain the perfection and priority of security interests and to keep the Financing Statements in effect. (iii) We express no opinion as to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the laws of the State of California and the laws of the United States of America. The opinions expressed above concern only the effect of the laws of the State of California and the United States of America as currently in effect. We confirm that: (a) Based on the Borrower Organizational Documents and the Guarantor Organizational Documents, the name of Borrower, General Partner and each Guarantor in each of the Loan Documents and the Title Policy is the correct legal name of Borrower and such Guarantor; (b) We do not have any financial interest in the Project or the Loan Documents, other than fees for legal services performed by us, payment for which has been provided; (c) We acknowledge that the Beneficiary Parties are relying on this opinion letter and would not be issuing the Bonds, purchasing the Bonds, making the Loan and/or acquiring the Loan, without its issuance. We (i) acknowledge that Borrower has instructed us to issue and deliver this opinion for the benefit of the addressees, and (ii) waive any defense or claim of lack of contractual privity which we might assert against the addressees in connection with the issuance of this opinion letter; and (d) Other than as counsel for Borrower, General Partner and Guarantors, we have no interest in Borrower, General Partner or Guarantors, and do not serve as employees of Borrower, General Partner or Guarantors. We have no undisclosed interest in the subject matters of this opinion. The foregoing opinions are for the exclusive reliance of the addressees, and their respective successors and assigns, including a trustee in connection with a securitization, their respective counsel, and by a rating agency in connection with the assignment of a rating to the Bonds or to any certificates backed by the Bonds for purposes of a securitization.
