become due without any further presentment, demand, protest, or notice of any kind. Lender

partners of Borrower and shall accept any cure offered by such limited partners on the same
basis as it would accept a cure from Borrower.

stay of bankruptcy statutes are specifically included in those costs and expenses to be paid by

writing and shall be given as provided in the Agreement.
No delay or omission of Lender in exercising any right or power arising in connection
with any default will be construed as a waiver or as acquiescence, nor will any single or partial
exercise preclude any further exercise. Lender may waive any of the conditions in this Note
and no waiver will be deemed to be a waiver of Lender's rights under this Note, but rather will
be deemed to have been made in pursuance of this Note and not in modification. No waiver of
any default will be construed to be a waiver of or acquiescence in or consent to any preceding
or subsequent default.
The Deed of Trust provides as follows:
Except as provided herein or in the Agreement, if the Trustor/Grantor shall sell,
convey or alienate said property, or any part thereof, or any interest therein, or shall

by law, to declare any indebtedness or obligations secured hereby, irrespective of the
gh
maturity date specified in any Note evidencing the same, immediately due and
payable.
Lender may transfer this Note and deliver to the transferee all or any part of the
Property then held by it as security under this Note, and the transferee will then become
vested with all the powers and rights given to Lender; and Lender will then be forever relieved
from any liability or responsibility in the matter, but Lender will retain all rights and powers
given by this Note with respect to Property not transferred.

unenforceable in any respect by a court of competent jurisdiction, the validity, legality, and
enforceability of the remaining provisions will not in any way be affected or impaired. This
Note will be binding on and inure to the benefit of Borrower, Lender, and their respective
successors and assigns.

and will be governed by the laws of California in all respects, including matters of construction,
validity, and performance, and that none of its terms or provisions may be waived, altered,
modified, or amended except as Lender and Borrower may consent to in a writing duly signed
by Borrower or Lender or its authorized agents.
This Note shall be nonrecourse to Borrower and all its constituent partners and may
be prepaid at any time without penalty. Neither Borrower nor any of its general or limited
partners shall have any personal liability for repayment of the Loan. The sole recourse of the
Lender under the Loan Documents for repayment of the Loan shall be the exercise of its rights
against the Property pursuant to the Deed of Trust and Lender shall have no right to seek or
recover any deficiency amount from Borrower or any partner of Borrower.

Borrower Not Released: Forbearance Bv Lender Not a Waiver. Extension of the time for payment or

and assignees of Lender and Borrower. All covenants and agreements of Borrower shall be joint and
several. Any borrower who co-signs this Deed of Trust, but does not execute the Note, (a) is co-signing
this Deed of Trust only to grant and convey that Borrower's interest in the Property of Trustee under the
terms of this Deed of Trust, (b) is not personally liable on the Note or under this Deed of Trust or the Note,
without that Borrower's consent and without releasing that Borrower or modifying this Deed of Trust as to

existence of any interest in the Property other than the interests of Borrower and Beneficiary and any
encumbrance permitted in this Deed of Trust, even though subordinate to the security interest of
Beneficiary, and the existence of any interest in Borrower other than those of the present owners, would
impair the Property and the security interest of Beneficiary, and, therefore, except as provided herein or in
the Loan Documents, Borrower will not sell, convey, assign, transfer, alienate, or otherwise dispose of its
interest in the Property, either voluntarily or by operation of law, or agree to do so, without the prior written
consent of Beneficiary. Consent to one transaction by Beneficiary will not be deemed a waiver of the right
to require consent to further or successive transactions. lf Borrower is a corporation, any sale, transfer, or
disposition of fifty percent (50%) or more of the voting interest of Borrower or of any entity that directly or
indirectly owns or controls Borrower, including, without limitation, the parent company of Borrower, and the
parent company of the parent company of Borrower, will constitute a sale of the Property for purposes of
this article. lf Borrower is a partnership any change or addition of a general partner of Borrower, change of
a partnership interest of Borrower, or sale, transfer, or disposition of fifty percent (50%) or more of the
B.

voting interest or partnership interest of any partner of Borrower or of any corporation, partnership or entity
that directly or indirectly owns or controls any partner of Borrower, including, without limitation, each parent
company of a partner of Borrower and each parent company of any parent company of a partner of
Borrower, will constitute a sale of the Property for purposes of this section. lf Borrower is a limited liability
company, any change of the manager or any sale, transfer or disposition of fifty percent (50%) or more of
the partnership interests of Borrower , or disposition of fifty percent (50%) or more of the voting interest of
Borrower or of any corporation, partnership or entity that directly or indirectly owns or controls any member
of Borrower, including without limítations, each parent company of Borrower and each parent company of
any parent company of a member of Borrower, will constitute a sale of the Property for purposes of this
section. Any transaction in violation of this section will cause all lndebtedness, irrespective of the maturity
dates, at the option of the Beneficiary and without demand or notice, immediately to become due, together
with any prepayment premium in accordance with the terms of the Note except as prohibited by law.
10. Notice. Except for any notice required under applicable law to be given in another manner, (a) any notice

other provisions of this Deed of Trust or the Note which can be given effect without
the conflicting provision, and to this end the provisions of this Deed of Trust and the Note are declared to
be severable. As used herein, "costs", "expenses", and "attorney's fees" include all sums to the extent not

breach; (3) a date, not less than 10 days from the date notice is mailed to Borrower, by which such breach

13, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney's fees. lf Lender invokes the power of sale, Lender
shall execute or cause Trustee to execute a written notice of the occurrence of an event of default and of
Lender's election to cause the Property to be sold and shall cause such notice to be recorded in each
county in which the Property or some part thereof is located. Lender or Trustee shall mail copies of such
notice in the manner prescribed by applicable law. Trustee shall give public notice of sale to the persons
and in the manner prescribed by applicable law. After the lapse of such time as may be required by

the Note had no acceleration occurred; (b) Borrower cures all breaches of any other covenants or
agreements of Borrower contained in this Deed of Trust; (c) Borrower pays all reasonable expenses

the Property and Borrower's obligation to pay the sums secured by this Deed of Trust shall continue

hereby shall remain in full force and effect as if no acceleration had occurred.
15. Nonrecourse. Neither Borrower nor any of the Borrower's partners shall not have any personal liability for

agreement due to a violation by a general partner of the terms of a partnership agreement, or a voluntary

applicable) Borrower's limited partners shall have an additional period of not less than thirty (30) days to
cure such alleged default. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a default that cannot with
reasonable diligence be remedied or cured within thirty (30) days, Borrower's limited partners shall have
such additional time as reasonably necessary to remedy or cure such default, but in no event more than
ninety (90) days from the expiration of the initial thirty (30) day period above, and if the Borrower's limited
partners reasonably believe that in order to cure such default, Borrower's limited partríers must remove one
or both of Borrower's general paftners in order to cure such default, Borrower's limited partners shall have
an additional (30) days following the effective date of such removal to cure such default. To the extent that
there is a conflict between this paragraph 22 and any remedy permitted by the HOME Agreement, Loan
Documents, or Loan, the terms of this paragraph 22 shall control.

agreement relating to the Property, or any agreement or instrument between any loan party and
Beneficiary.

obligation to own and operate the Property is one of the inducements to Beneficiary to make the
Loan;

money by Borrower from Beneficiary.

affecting the Property, and all such covenants and restrictions are for the benefit and
protection of the CITY and shall run with the Property and be binding on any future owner's
of the Property and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by CITY. These covenants
and restrictions are as follows:
a. The DECLARANT for itself and its successor(s) on title covenants and
agrees that from the date the Project is entered into lDlS as complete, until the expiration
of the Affordability Period, it shall cause eleven (11)of the Affordable Units to be used as
Affordable rental housing Units. The DECLARANT further agrees to file a recordable
document setting forth the Project Completion Date and Affordability Period when
determined by the CITY. Unless othen¡rise provided in the Agreement, the term Affordable
Housing shall include, without limitation, compliance with the following requirements:
i. Nondiscrimination. There shall be no discrimination against nor
segregation of any persons or group of persons on account of race, color, creed, religion,
sex, marital status, national origin, ancestry, or handicap in the sale, transfer, use,
occupancy, tenure, or enjoyment of any of the Property, nor shall DECLARANT establish or

ii. Principal Residence. Each of the eleven (11) HOME-assisted
Affordable Units within the Project upon the Property shall be leased only to eligible Low-
lncome households, who shall occupy Affordable Units as their principal resident. The
forgoing requirement that the Property tenants occupy the Affordable Units as their
principal residence does not apply to persons, other than natural persons, who acquire the
Property or portion thereof by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure or HUD qualified
entity that acquires the Property or portion thereof, with the consent of the CITY.
l{.,
iii. lncome Requirements. A total of eleven (11) Affordable Units
may be leased only to eligible households whose annual income at the time of initial
occupancy is not greater than fifty percent (50%) to eighty percent (80%) of the most recent
annual median income calculated and published by HUD for the FMSA applicable to such
household's size.
3. Enforcement of Restrictions. Without waiver or limitation, the CITY shall be
entitled to injunctive or other equitable relief against any violation or attempted violation of
any Covenant and Restriction.
4. Acceptance and Ratification, All present and future owners of the Property
and other persons claiming by, through, or under them shall be subject to and shall comply
with the Covenant and Restriction. The acceptance of a deed of conveyance to the
Property shall constitute an agreement that the Covenant and Restriction, as may be
amended or supplemented from time to time, are accepted and ratified by future owners,
tenant or occupant, and such Covenant and Restriction shall be a covenant running with
the land and shall bind any person having at any time any interest or estate in the Property,
all as though such Covenant and Restriction was recited and stipulated at length in each
and every deed, conveyance, mortgage or lease thereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon foreclosure by a lender or other transfer in lieu
of foreclosure, or assignment of an FHA-insured mortgage to HUD, the Affordability Period
shall be terminated unless the foreclosure or other transfer in lieu of foreclosure or
assignment recognizes any contractual or legal rights of public agencies, nonprofit
sponsors, or others to take actions that would avoid the termination of low-income
affordability. However, the requirements with respect to Affordable Unit shall be revived
according to their original terms, if during the original Affordability Period, the owner of
record before the foreclosure or other transfer, or any entity that includes the former owner
of those with whom the former owner has or had formally, family or business ties, obtains
an ownership interest in the Project or the Property, the Affordability Period shall be revived
according to its original terms.
5. Benefit. This Declaration shall run with and bind the Property for a term
commencing on the date Project information is entered into lDlS as complete, until the
expiration of the thirty (30) year Affordability Period. The failure or delay at any time of
CITY and/or any other person entitled to enforce this Declaration shall in no event be
deemed a waiver of the same, or of the right to enforce the same at any time or from time
to time thereafter, or an estoppel against the enforcement thereof.
6. Costs and Attorney's Fees. ln any proceeding arising because of failure of
DECLARANT or any future owner of the Property to comply with the Covenant and
Restriction required by this Declaration, as may be amended from time to time, the CITY
shall be entitled to recover its respective costs and reasonable attorney's fees incurred in
connection with such default or failure.
7. Waiver. Neither DECLARANT nor any future owner of the Property may
exempt itself from liability for failure to comply with the Covenant and Restriction required in
this Declaration; provided however, that upon the transfer of the Property, the transferring
lÇ,
owner may be released from liability hereunder, upon the CITY's written consent of such
transfer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
8. Severability. The invalidity of the Covenant and Restriction or any other
covenant, restriction, condition, limitation, or other provision of this Declaration shall not
impair or affect in any manner the validity, enforceability, or effect of the rest of this
Declaration and each shall be enforceable to the greatest extent permitted by law.
9. Pronouns. Any reference to the masculine, feminine, or neuter gender herein
shall, unless the context clearly requires the contrary, be deemed to refer to and include all
genders. Words in the singular shall include and refer to the plural, and vice versa, as
appropriate.
