Bank shall notify the respective Applicant(s) in writing of any such request it receives from Authority. The notification shall contain the following statement: "The City of San Juan Capistrano has requested the San Juan Capistrano Office of Bank of America National Trust and Savings Association, 31902 Del Oso, San Juan Capistrano, CA 92675, to consider making a specific extension of credit to you." A qualified Applicant shall be identified by Authority or its agents, using Authority's established standards, which must consider, without limitation: (a) Applicant is "the owner of record" of the property subject to rehabilitation. (b) Applicant has verifiable income(s) which can be used to repay the proposed levan. (c) Authority has determined that the proposed Loan, given Program options available, will best serve the rehabilitation needs of Applicant and the Program objectives. 7. Authority shall furnish to Bank, with respect to each Loan application as required throughout the process: (a) an introductory letter statirYg that Authority desires Bank to consider making a loan to Applicant, (b) a general breakdown of the costs involved in the rehabili- tation work to be performed on Applicant's real property, (c) a description of the York, -4- 0 (d) an estimate of the value of the real property offered as security for the loan; (e) a copy of any contractor bid accepted by Applicant; (f) a specific borrower interest rate as described in paragraphs 9 and 11; and (g) a statement including the name of the contractor who will perform the rehabilitation work, and that Authority has satisfied itself with respect to the competence and relia- bility of the particular contractor. 8. Bank shall perform its customary credit evaluation with respect to the Applicant, render its judgment with respect to the credit -worthi- ness of the Applicant, and recommend appropriate Loan terms. 9. Upon completion of its credit evaluation, Bank shall furnish to Authority copies of all income, employment and account verifications as well as the credit report with an analysis and recommendation whether to proceed with the Loan or not, and if to proceed: (a) a recommendation as to use of either a Collateralized, or Deferred Payment Loan, or some combination thereof; and (b) an indication of which of the following Loans (for which Bank assumkes all or part of the credit risk, as indicated parenthetically below) Bank is willing to make to Applicant: (1) a 4.00'/ Collateralized Loan (10% credit risk), (2) an 8.00% Collateralized Loan (45% credit risk), -5- 0 0 10. After having determined the exact nature and scope of the rehabilitation work to be performed on Applicant's real property, Authority may request Bank to grant Applicant a Ivan, which either must be from among those designated by Bank pursuant to paragraph 9 above or must be a Loan pursuant to paragraph 11(a) (100 collateralized) or paragraph 24 (Deferred Payment Loan). 242 r] W -4-V FIVVD 118 •:= 11. (a) Each Collateralized Ivan shall be supported by a non interest-bearing deposit made by Authority to a Collateralized Loan Account, an account that shall at all times be at least equal to: (1) 100% of unpaid principal for each 3.W4 Loan for which Bank has not designated the Applicant pursuant to paragraph 9(b) as a party to whom Bank is willing to make a (partially) Collateralized Loan, (2) 90°6 of unpaid principal for each 4 -UM Loan, or (3) 55k of unpaid principal for each 8.W4 Loan. plus, in each case, 1WI. of accrued unpaid interest. Authority hereby assigns the Collateralized Loan Account to secure the Collateralized Loans. (b) Bank will recover from Authority or Applicant its actual out-of-pocket expenses as specified for title search reports and property appraisals required to originate Program Loans. 12. (a) Unless Authority requests one note only, each Collatera- lized Loan shall be,evidenced by two notes, effective in succession, as provided herein. (b) The note first effective shall be a short-term commercial note, the term of which shall coincide approximately with the rehabilitation period (althoyrh all references herein - 7 - to the short-term commercial note are singular, a Loan could include more than one short-term commercial note). The term of any one short-term commercial note may not exceed ninety (90) days, although the note may be extended, renewed, or refinanced. The Loan proceeds thereof shall be disbured by Bank in a number of draws, each to follow completion of an applicable state of construction, as certified to Bank by Authority. Interest shall accrue only on the disbursed portion of the Loan. (c) Promptly after Bank's disbursement of the final draw under the short-term commercial note, that note shall be refinanced by an installment note, as provided for at sub- paragraph (d) below or, alternatively, as provided in Part Four (Deferred Payment loans). At the time the short-term commercial note is refinanced by the installment note, Applicant may either pay Bank the accrued interest on the short-term commercial note or may have it added to the principal of the installment note. (d) The term of the installment note shall be determined by Bank for the Ivan in question, but may not exceed fifteen (15) years, and the installment note shall be amortized in equal monthly installments over its term. Interest will be calculated on a simple interest basis for each installment note. 13. With respect to Collateralized Loans: (a) On both the short-term commercial note and the installment note, interest and other finance charges shall be such as to bear interst at an annual rate of 3.00%, 4.00%, 8.00%, which shall be calculated on a simple interest basis. EM 0 0 (b) The Loan shall be documented using Bank's standard forms. (c) Both the short-term commercial note and the installment note shall, at Bank's or Authority's option, be secured by a deed of trust covering the real property that is the subject of the rehabilitation for which the proceeds of the Loan are to be used. 14. Authority shall make a relevant deposit to the Collateralized Loan Account in the percentage of Loan amount provided for at paragraph 11, when the commercial note and deed of trust are signed by Applicant and when interest on a short-term commercial note becomes added to the principal of a subsequent installment note. At the end of each calendar month ending 160 days after Authority's first deposit hereunder, Bank shall remit to Authority the amount by which the Collateralized Loan Account exceeds the paragraph 11 percentages of the unpaid balances of Collateralized Loans. Funds that Bank thus remits to Authority shall be deemed funds that Authority deposited at least lb0 days before. 15. If a Collateralized Loan remains in default for a continuous period of ninety (90) days on account of nonpayment of any sum of money due pursuant to the terms thereof or of any instrument or document related thereto, Bank may withdraw from the Collateralized Loan Account, and pay to itself, an amount equal to the then outstanding principal balance of the loan multiplied by the same percentage as the percentage of the Loan amount that was deposited to the Collateralized Loan Account pursuant to paragraph 11, plus 100% of accrued unpaid interest on the Loan through the 90th day of default. Hank shall have no recourse against Authority or the Collateralized loan Account for any amounts in excess of those permitted under this paragraph. Luring any ninety (90) day default period, Bank shall perform its customary collection procedures with respect to the loan. -9- 16. After a withdrawal from the Collateralized loan Account under paragraph 10 above, in the case of a Loan for which the deposit to the Collateralized loan Account under paragraph 11 was less than 100% of the loan amount: (a) Bank need not assign the deed of trust to Authority upon completion of the withdrawal; but may, for it's own account, exercise rights under the deed of trust to recover the remaining outstanding and unpaid principal of the Loan plus accrued unpaid interest thereon after the 90th day of default. (b) At its election, Bank may assign to Authority such rights as may be necessary for Authority to attempt to recoup any funds withdrawn from the Collateralized loan Account in connection with any Loan default. Authority agrees to recoup funds, as much as possible, for the benefit of Bank as well as itself. Funds recovered shall be credited as follows: (1) to withdrawals from the Collateralized Loan Account, (2) to the costs of recovery, (3) to Bank's Loan charge-off. (c) If Bank subsequently recovers funds with respect to a defaulted loan (as, for example, but without limitation, if a voluntary sale of the property takes place), Bank shall, after deducting the previously unreimbursed percentage of loan loss to which Bank is entitled, plus Bank's cost of recovery, return and pay over to Authority all amounts in excess thereof. 17. After a withdrawal from the Collateralized Loan Account under paragraph 15 above, in the case of a Loan for which the deposit to the Collateralized Loan Account under pararagraph 11 was 10M of the loan -10- 0 0 amount, Bank shall assign the Iran to Authority, the assignment to be accomplished by: (a) the due endorsement by Bank to Authority of the promissory note evidencing the Loan, without recourse or warranty, and (b) the delivery of the promissory note and the assignment and delivery of the deed of trust. 18. Collateralized Loans, as described in paragraph 11 through 17, are priced on an average loan size of $6,000, which provides Authority favorable.rates and terms based on this average Loan wluue. Since operating costs associated with a smaller average Loan size are significantly greater, Authority's Collateralized Loans will be analyzed every 180 days from contract approval. Lf average $6,000 loan amounts are not maintained, Bank may make adjustments affecting the pricing of future activity as follows: (a) increase borrower interest rate of new Loans, (b) increase collateral requirements for new Loans, or (c) assess an origination fee for new Loans. These options are as negotiated and mutually accepted by Bank and Authority. -11- PART FOLR f , ya:: � •: iu ani �: � 19. In the event Authority requests Bank to make a loan, the terms of which are other than as provided in Part Three above, Bank shall comply with Authority's request. In that case, after Bank has obtained Applicant's note on terms Authority has requested for the Loan, Bank shall, promptly after completion of the respective rehabilitation work, assign the Locus to Authority according to the same procedure, and for the same price, as would be applicable under paragraphs 15 and 16 (Part Three) in the case of the assignment following default of a Collateralized Loan for which the deposit to the Collateralized Loan Account under paragraph 11 was 10M. Promptly after the assignment, Authority shall pay to Bank a fee to cover its internal administrative and out-of-pocket expenses, as specified by Bank, but in no event less than THIRTY-SEVEN AND 50/100 DOLIARS ($37.50) nor more than SEVENTY-FIVE, AM NO/100 DOLLARS ($75.00) for each Loan so made. Such fee shall be at Authority's sole expense and shall not be recovered from Applicant(s). 20.

(a) stating that Authority has established rates and terms for its Deferred Payment Loan Program note, (b) designating whether any Deferred Payment loan fee is a "charge to be financed" or a "prepaid finance charge" under Regulation Z, and (c) that Authority has delivered this information and note to Bank's San Juan Capistrano Office. - 12 - 0 PART FIVE ala. ..lco 0 21.
