R E C I T A L S:
Pursuant to the Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy Act, Title 11 Chapter 42a, Utah Code Annotated 1953, as amended (the 'Act'), the Local Entity's executive or administrator may authorize the designation of an energy assessment area and the levying of an assessment within such energy assessment area to facilitate the financing of the costs of acquiring, constructing and installing certain energy efficiency upgrades and/or renewable energy systems and related improvements to be owned by one or more property owners and assign to a third-party lender the Local Entity's rights in its energy assessment lien.
Summit Life Plan Communities, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the 'Borrower'), as the owner of the real property identified in Exhibit A attached hereto (the 'Property'), has requested that the Local Entity designate an energy assessment area, the boundaries of which will be coterminous with the boundaries of the Property, and levy an assessment against the Property to facilitate the financing and/or refinancing of the costs of acquiring, constructing and installing certain energy efficiency upgrades and/or renewable energy systems and related improvements (collectively, the 'Improvements') to the Property as authorized under the Act.
The undersigned executive or administrator of the Local Entity hereby determines that it is in the best interest of the Local Entity to (a) designate an energy assessment area encompassing the Property and (b) to levy an assessment against the Property benefited by Improvements to the Property to finance the costs of said Improvements.
The Borrower has provided the Local Entity an executed Consent of Lienholder to Assessment (the 'Waiver and Consent'), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B from each person or institution holding a lien on the Property.
The undersigned executive or administrator of the Local Entity now desires to designate the energy assessment area, to levy said assessments and, pursuant to Section 11-42a-302 of the Act, to assign to the Lender the Local Entity's rights in the energy assessment lien all in accordance with this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises stated herein, the designation of the Energy Assessment Area (as defined below), and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
Requirements for Designation of Energy Assessment Area. Pursuant to Section 11-42a-202 of the Act, the Borrower has provided to the Local Entity:
the written consent from each person or institution holding a lien on the Property and confirmation that certain liens on the Property will be released on or prior to the time the Lender makes a loan to the Borrower for the purpose of financing the Improvements (the 'Loan');
evidence that there are no delinquent taxes, special assessments, or water or sewer charges on the Property;
evidence that the Property is not subject to a trust deed or other lien on which there is a recorded notice of default, foreclosure, or delinquency, that has not been cured;
evidence that there are no involuntary liens, including a lien on the Property, or on the proceeds of a contract relating to the Property, for services, labor, or materials furnished in connection with the construction or improvement of the Property; and
the written consent of the Borrower to the Local Entity's designation of the Energy Assessment Area, levying of the assessment, and creation of the Assessment Lien (as defined below) on the Borrower's property.
Designation of Energy Assessment Area. Pursuant to Section 11-42a-201 of the Act, the Local Entity hereby designates a voluntary energy assessment area that shall be known as the 'Summit Life Plan Communities C-PACE Assessment Area #2' (the 'Energy Assessment Area'). The legal description and tax identification number of the Energy Assessment Area are set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto.
Levy of Assessment. Pursuant to Section 11-42a-201 of the Act, the Local Entity hereby authorizes the levy of an assessment against the Property in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $200,000,000 (the 'Assessment Lien') which shall bear interest at an interest rate not exceeding 11% per annum and shall mature on or prior to thirty (30) years following the Effective Date hereof. The final terms of the Assessment Lien shall be as set forth in a financing agreement between the Lender and the Borrower (the 'Financing Agreement') and shall be deemed approved by the Local Entity provided that the final aggregate principal amount, the final interest rate and the maturity date of the assessment levied do not exceed the parameters set forth in this Section 3. Per Section 11-42a-204 of the Act, the assessments will not exceed in the aggregate the sum of: (a) the contract price or estimated contract price of the Improvements; (b) overhead costs not to exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the sum of the contract price or estimated contract price; (c) an amount for contingencies of not more than ten percent (10%) of the sum of the contract price or estimated contract price; (d) capitalized interest; and (e) an amount sufficient to fund a reserve fund. If Lender and the Borrower fail to agree to the terms set forth in the Financing Agreement, or do not close the Loan for any other reason, then the Lender's sole obligation hereunder shall be the release of the Assessment Lien by filing a termination of the Notice of Assessment Interest (as defined below).
Pursuant to Section 11-42a-201(4) of the Act, the Lender will cause to be filed with the Salt Lake County Recorder a notice of assessment interest (the 'Notice of Assessment Interest') with respect to this Agreement, stating that the Local Entity has an assessment interest in the Energy Assessment Area describing the Energy Assessment Area by legal description and tax identification number, and containing any other information required by Section 11-42a-201 of the Act. The Lender shall file the Notice of Assessment Interest within five (5) days after the Effective Date of this Agreement.
Assignment of Assessment Lien. Pursuant to Section 11-42a-302 of the Act, the Local Entity hereby assigns to the Lender all its rights and interests in the Assessment Lien, including but not limited to the rights and powers of the Local Entity at law or in equity to enforce the Assessment Lien, including those set forth in Sections 11-42a-303 (other than those set forth in Section 11-42a-303(2) of the Act) and 11-42a-304 of the Act.
