will obtain proof from the material testing laboratories that the material testing laboratories have been
paid in full by the Developer before the City will accept the Improvements.

Takeover Rights
(a)Intent. This Section 36 sets out the conditions under which a Purchaser may be substituted as the
“Developer” in this Agreement in place of HPIMF Bonds Land MF1 DFW005 LP (“HPIMF”).
(b)Purpose. To the extent that this Section 36 is enforced, the Purchaser shall become a direct
beneficiary of the work required to complete the Improvements as provided by that certain
Development and Escrow Agreement or other agreement by and between HPIMF or its affiliate
and Purchaser (the “DEA”). Pursuant to, and subject to, the DEA, Purchaser has certain rights to
construct and complete the Improvements (whether or not HPIMF has breached this Agreement),
as well as the right to cure any breach by HPIMF under this Agreement.

obligation: (i) to undertake HPIMF’s obligations to construct the Improvements; and (ii) if
applicable, to cure any breach of HPIMF under this Agreement (the “Takeover Rights”). Breach of
this Agreement by HPIMF is not necessarily a prerequisite to Purchaser’s right to undertake
HPIMF’s obligations to construct the Improvements. Instead, such right is governed by the DEA.
(d)Notice of Purchaser. If HPIMF contracts for the sale of the land to a Purchaser, HPIMF shall
provide City with written notice of such contract for the sale of the land having been executed, the
identity of the Purchaser, and the mailing address and telephone number of the Purchaser.
(e)Notice of Default. City shall give Purchaser written notice of any default under this Agreement by
HPIMF.
(f)Notice of Election to Enforce Takeover Rights. In the event Purchaser elects, pursuant to the DEA,
to undertake HPIMF’s obligations and to cure HPIMF’s breach under this Agreement (if a breach
has occurred) or the DEA, Purchaser shall deliver written notice to the following address that
Purchaser has exercised such right (the “Notice of Election”):

(i) Acknowledgement of Takeover and Notice to Proceed. Within ten (10) business days of Purchaser
delivering to the City the Notice of Election and the Takeover Documentation, the City shall inspect
the Improvements and the Takeover Documentation and shall execute an acknowledgement that
Purchaser has elected to take over this Agreement (the “Takeover Acknowledgement”), confirm
the percentage completion of the Improvements at the time and remaining scope, and issue a notice
to proceed with construction of the remaining Improvements (the “Notice to Proceed”). If the City
finds that the Notice of Election or the Takeover Documentation is insufficient, the City shall notify
Purchaser and shall execute the Takeover Acknowledgment and Notice to Proceed upon delivery
to the City of sufficient documentation. The City shall not unreasonably withhold the Takeover
Acknowledgement or the Notice to Proceed.
(j)Upon execution of the Takeover Acknowledgement by the City, Purchaser shall: (i) be the
"Developer" and assume the rights, duties and responsibilities of Developer contained in this
Agreement (provided that HPIMF shall remain solely liable to City for all of its acts, omissions and
defaults arising under this Agreement prior to the Notice of Election being given); (ii) have a
reasonable time to cure any default by HPIMF, but in no event less than 30 days; (iii) be given
credit for the payment of any fees HPIMF has paid in connection with this Agreement; and (iv)
assume the rights, duties and responsibilities of Developer contained in that certain Escrow
Agreement between HPIMF and City dated the same as this Agreement (which Escrow Agreement
constitutes the Financial Guarantee hereunder). From and after execution of the Takeover
Acknowledgement, the City may look to Purchaser for performance of Developer’s obligations
pursuant to this Agreement, provided that HPIMF shall remain solely liable to City for all of its
acts, omissions and defaults existing under this Agreement prior to the Takeover Acknowledgement
being executed. Nothing herein shall be deemed to release HPIMF from any obligations to
Purchaser or its successors or assigns under the DEA.
(k)Estimated Fees Paid to City. HPIMF and Purchaser understand that the City will reconcile the
estimated administrative material testing service fees, construction inspection service fees, and
water lab testing fees paid to the City by HIPIMF with the actual costs incurred upon completion
of construction of the Improvements. If Purchaser enforces the Takeover Rights, Purchaser will be
responsible for paying to the City any shortages in the administrative material testing service fees,
construction inspection service fees, and water lab testing fees, and Purchaser will receive from the
City any overpayments of administrative material testing service fees, construction inspection
service fees, and water lab testing fees that were paid by HPIMF for the Project.
(l)Should Purchaser elect not to enforce its takeover rights to assume HPIMF’s obligations or to cure
any breach by HPIMF of this Agreement, then the City shall have the right to use HPIMF’s financial
guarantee in accordance with this Agreement and the financial guarantee.

THIS ESCROW AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), is made and entered into by and
between HPIMF Bonds Land MF1 DFW005 LP (“Developer”), the City of Fort Worth, a Texas
home-rule municipal corporation (“Fort Worth”) and Heritage Title Company of Austin, Inc.
(“Escrow Agent”) is to witness the following:
WHEREAS, Developer and Fort Worth have entered into a Community Facilities
Agreement for Bonds Ranch Multifamily Express CFA, CFA Number 25-0082, City Project
Number 106126, IPRC Number 25-0020 (the “CFA”); and
WHEREAS,the CFA provides that Developer shall submit to Fort Worth performance
bonds, cash deposits or other financial security acceptable to Fort Worth (collectively, the
“Financial Security”) for the purpose of guaranteeing satisfactory compliance by Developer with
all requirements, terms, and conditions of the CFA (the “CFA Obligations”); and
WHEREAS, Developer and Fort Worth desire and agree that Developer be allowed to
escrow and pledge cash deposits to Fort Worth, to be held by Escrow Agent, as an escrow agent,
in complete satisfaction of the obligation to submit the Financial Security to secure the
performance of the CFA Obligations; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the CFA, Developer or its affiliate may contract for the sale of
land to a party that will benefit from the CFA (with its successors and assigns, “Purchaser”), which
party may be substituted as the “Developer” upon satisfaction of the conditions contained in
Section 36 of the CFA and amendment of the CFA to make Purchaser a party to the CFA, in which
event “Developer” thereunder and hereunder shall mean Purchaser (the “Substitution Rights”).
NOW THEREFORE, for and in consideration of these recitals, ten dollars ($10.00) and
other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, sufficiency and adequacy of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
SECTION 1. DEFINED TERMS.
For the purposes of this Agreement, unless the context otherwise clearly requires, the
following terms shall have the following meanings:
“Security Funds” shall mean the cash deposit of Forty-Seven Thousand Four Hundred
Eighty-Six Dollars and Eighty-Five Cents ($47,486.85), which sum represents one hundred
twenty-five percent (125%) of the estimated Developer’s cost of constructing the CFA

Page 2 of 10
SECTION 2. SECURITY FUNDS.
As financial security for the full and punctual performance of the CFA Obligations,
Developer hereby pledges, assigns, and transfers to Fort Worth, and hereby grants to Fort Worth
a security interest in the Security Funds and all rights and privileges pertaining thereto with the
exception of the interest income to be derived therefrom (which interest income shall remain the
property of Developer and shall be distributed by Escrow Agent in accordance with Developer’s
periodic instructions) subject, however, to the terms, covenants, and conditions hereinafter set
forth. The security interest granted and the assignments made hereunder are made as security only
and shall not subject the City of Fort Worth or Escrow Agent to, or transfer or in any way affect
or modify, any obligation of Developer with respect to the CFA Obligations or any transaction
involving or giving rise therefrom.
SECTION 3. PHYSICAL POSSESSION OF SECURITY FUNDS.
Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, Developer shall have delivered to and
deposited with Escrow Agent the Security Funds. The parties acknowledge and agree that Escrow
Agent shall be required to segregate the Security Funds from other funds held by Escrow Agent
for Developer in accordance with the normal practices of Escrow Agent acting as an escrow agent.
Escrow Agent shall return all funds on deposit representing or evidencing the Security Funds
remaining in its possession to Developer (or take such other action as Developer may request or
direct) immediately after receipt of written notice from Fort Worth that the CFA Obligations have
been fully performed. During such time as Escrow Agent has possession of the Security Funds,
Escrow Agent shall furnish to the City of Fort Worth (when requested by Fort Worth) written
acknowledgments signed by an officer of Escrow Agent detailing the amount of the Security
Funds. Fort Worth’s rights in the Security Funds shall be superior to those of Escrow Agent’s
notwithstanding any terms or understandings (written or otherwise) between Developer and
Escrow Agent.
SECTION 4. COVENANTS.
(a) Affirmative Covenants. So long as any of the CFA Obligations remain unperformed,
Developer covenants and agrees that Developer will:
(i) from time to time execute and deliver to Fort Worth all such assignments,
certificates, supplemental writings, and other items and do all other acts or
things as Fort Worth may reasonably request in order to evidence and perfect
the security interest of Fort Worth in the Security Funds;
(ii) furnish Fort Worth with information which Fort Worth may reasonably request
concerning the Security Funds;
(iii) notify Fort Worth of any claim, action, or proceeding affecting title to the
Security Funds or Fort Worth’s security interest(s) therein; and

CFA Official Release Date: 11.01.2022 DH Revised 11.16.2022 DH
Page 3 of 10
(iv) adjust the Security Funds to an amount equal to the actual contract price,
including revisions thereto, if the original Security Funds were based on an
engineer’s estimate of costs.
(b) Negative Covenants. So long as any of the CFA Obligations remain unperformed,
Developer covenants and agrees that Developer will not:
(i) assign or transfer any rights of Developer in the Security Funds other than
pursuant to the Substitution Rights or to a permitted assignee or transferee of
the CFA Obligations under the CFA; or
(ii) create any Lien in the Security Funds, or any part thereof, or permit the same to
be or become subject to any Lien except the security interest herein created in
favor of Fort Worth.
SECTION 5. EVENTS OF DEFAULT.
Developer shall be in default under this Agreement only upon the happening of any of the
following events (a “Default”):
(a) default in the timely payment for or performance of the CFA Obligations after written
notice thereof has been given to Developer and Escrow Agent and such default is not
cured within seven (7) days after such notice or such longer cure period as may be
provided in the CFA;
(b) any affirmative or negative covenant is breached by Developer.
SECTION 6. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF FORT WORTH UPON AND AFTER
DEFAULT.
(a) Remedy. Upon the occurrence of a Default for which Purchaser exercises its
Substitution Rights, Purchaser shall succeed to all of Developer’s rights with respect to
the Security Funds, to be used by Purchaser in accordance with Section 9 to pay for
completion of the CFA Obligations by Purchaser. Upon the occurrence of a Default for
which Purchaser does not or is unable to exercise its Substitution Rights or that occurs
after Purchaser has exercises its Substitution Rights, Fort Worth shall have the right to
direct Escrow Agent to transfer to Fort Worth all of the Security Funds, to be used by
Fort Worth to pay for completion of the CFA Obligations by Fort Worth. Escrow Agent
is hereby authorized to transfer the Security Funds immediately upon the receipt of a
written statement purporting to be executed by an authorized representative of Fort
Worth stating that:
(i) a Default by Developer has occurred related to the CFA Obligations;
(ii) written notice of such Default has been given by Fort Worth to Developer,
