acquire fee title to the Site, and incur a minimum 10% of total project costs (vim, the sum

December 10, 1993, the parties must amend the DDA in certain respects.
D. By receiving the Tax Credit Allocation, the Developer shall be able to raise
equity capital for the Project by transferring the Site and its rights under the DDA to a
limited partnership in which the Developer is the sole general partner and Mission First, a
California corporation, or such other investor as may be mutually agreeable between the
Agency and the Developer (the "Tax Credit Investor"), is the sole limited partner. Other
partners may be admitted to the limited partnership subject to the terms and conditions set
forth in the DDA.
E. The Developer has also applied for a Construction Loan from Wells Fargo
Bank, and for a Permanent Loan from California Community Reinvestment Corporation.
The Developer has told the Agency's staff that the Developer expects both applications to
be approved. Receipt of the Tax Credit Allocation will change the amounts of the
Permanent Loan and the payment dates for the Agency Loan, although such figures cannot
be finalized until the Developer commences construction of the Improvements and the
