Structure (FH2): This Term Sheet is an attachment to the Master Lease Term Sheet between the University and West Village Community Partnership, LLC. As each Subphase of for-sale housing development occurs the site for each specific Subphase will drop out of the Master Lease and will become the subject of a new Subphase for-sale housing ground lease. Ultimately, the parties intend that all for-sale housing land initially included in the Master Lease will drop into a series of individual Subphase for-sale housing ground leases. Site (FH3): Defined parcel of land on the Davis campus suitable for faculty/staff housing with good accessibility to the general public should broader marketing ever be required as shown on Exhibit A.

Lessee/Developer (FH4): Lessee/Developer shall be affiliates of West Village Community Partnership, LLC. Lessor (FH5): The Regents of the University of California (University).

Term/Ground Rent (FH6): Construction of the for-sale units must be completed within 36 months from either (i) the effective date of the applicable Subphase Lease agreement or (ii) date of completion of the University Infrastructure Obligations (ML9), whichever is later, with the opportunity for two one-year extensions upon mutual agreement. There will be no Lease fee or Ground rent payable by Lessee/Developer during the term of the Lease agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this agreement, any partially or fully completed homes, that are not sold by the end of the Term, may be converted to lot leases, in the name of the Lessee/Developer, in terms as defined in FH22. For finished lots, the University can extend the Term or purchase lots pursuant to Exhibit H of the Master Lease.
