County
Subject:Note Sale Resolution - Golden Oak Manor, Oakley
FISCAL IMPACT:
No impact to the General Fund. At the closing for the Note, the County is reimbursed for costs incurred in the
issuance process. Annual expenses for monitoring of Regulatory Agreement provisions ensuring units in the
Development will be rented to low income households are accommodated in the documents for the Note. The Note
will be solely secured by and payable from revenues (e.g. Development rents, reserves, etc.) pledged under the
Note documents. No County funds are pledged to secure the Note.
BACKGROUND:
The recommended action is the adoption of a Resolution by the Board, as the legislative body of the County,
authorizing the issuance of a Multifamily Housing Revenue Note, the proceeds of which will be used to finance
the acquisition and rehabilitation of Golden Oak Manor, a 50 unit senior housing development located at 5000
Kelsey Lane in Oakley. The development will include 49 units reserved for low income seniors.
The ownership entity for the development will be Golden Oak Manor II, L.P., a California limited partnership
with Golden Oak Manor EAH, LLC serving as managing general partner of the Borrower. Golden Oak Manor
EAH, LLC is an affiliate of EAH, Inc., a local non-profit housing developer that has developed over 7,000 units of
housing over the past 46 years. Merritt Community Capital Corporation will be the tax credit investor special
limited partner.
On May 5, 2015, the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 2015/138 expressing the Board's intent to
issue multi-family housing revenue bonds for the Development. That Resolution authorized the submittal of an
application by the County for tax-exempt private activity bond authority from the California Debt Limit
Allocation Committee. Subsequent to the adoption of that Resolution, the County, as required by Section 147(f) of
the Internal Revenue Code, held a noticed public hearing to permit interested parties to comment on the proposed
financing and the Development. That hearing was held on May 26, 2015 with no comments received from the
public. The Board adopted Resolution No. 2015/193 on June 9, 2015 to authorize proceeding with the issuance of
the Note pursuant to Section 147(f) of the Internal Revenue Code.
On September 16, 2015, the California Debt Limit Allocation Committee awarded the County authority to issue
the Note in a maximum principal amount of $5,800,000. That authority will be used to issue and sell the Note
directly to Citibank, N.A., with the proceeds of the Note to be used to fund a loan by the County to Golden Oak
Manor II, L.P. In addition to the proceeds of the Note, the Development will utilize other forms of financing
detailed in Attachment A. The transaction is expected to close by December 16, 2015.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Negative action would prevent the County from issuing a Multifamily Housing Revenue Note in order to provide
a loan to Golden Oak Manor II, L.P. to finance the acquisition and rehabilitation of Golden Oak Manor.

ARTICLE II
TERMS; GOVERNMENTAL LENDER NOTE
Section 2.1. Terms.
(a) Principal Amount. The total principal amount of the Funding Loan is hereby
expressly limited to the Authorized Amount.
(b) Draw-Down Funding. The Funding Loan is originated on a draw-down basis. The
proceeds of the Funding Loan shall be advanced by the Funding Lender directly to the Borrower
for the account of the Governmental Lender as and when needed to make each advance in
accordance with the disbursement provisions of the Borrower Loan Agreement and the
Construction Funding Agreement. Upon each advance of principal of the Borrower Loan under
the Borrower Loan Agreement and the Construction Funding Agreement, a like amount of the
Funding Loan shall be deemed concurrently and simultaneously advanced under this Funding
Loan Agreement, including the initial advance of $__________. Notwithstanding anything in this
Funding Loan Agreement to the contrary, no additional amounts of the Funding Loan may be
drawn down and funded hereunder after December 1, 2018; provided, however, that upon the
delivery of a Tax Counsel No Adverse Effect Opinion to the Governmental Lender and the
-15-
Funding Lender such date may be changed to a later date as specified in such Tax Counsel No
Adverse Effect Opinion.
The Governmental Lender consents to the terms of the Contingency Draw-Down
Agreement and agrees to take all actions requested in writing by the Funding Lender or the
Borrower that are reasonably required of the Governmental Lender, in connection with the
conversion of the Funding Loan to a fully drawn loan pursuant to the provisions of the
Contingency Draw-Down Agreement in the event a Draw-Down Notice is filed by the Funding
Lender or the Borrower, all at the expense of the Borrower.
(c) Origination Date; Maturity. The Funding Loan shall be originated on the Closing
Date and shall mature on the Maturity Date at which time the entire principal amount, to the
extent not previously paid, and all accrued and unpaid interest, shall be due and payable.
(d) Principal. The outstanding principal amount of the Governmental Lender Note
and of the Funding Loan as of any given date shall be the total amount advanced by the Funding
Lender to or for the account of the Governmental Lender to fund corresponding advances under
the Borrower Loan Agreement and the Construction Funding Agreement as proceeds of the
Borrower Loan, less any payments of principal of the Governmental Lender Note previously
received upon payment of corresponding principal amounts under the Borrower Note, including
regularly scheduled principal payments and voluntary and mandatory prepayments. The
principal amount of the Governmental Lender Note and interest thereon shall be payable on the
basis specified in this paragraph (d) and in paragraphs (e) and (f) of this Section 2.1.
The Funding Lender shall keep a record of all advances and principal repayments made
under the Governmental Lender Note and shall upon written request provide the Governmental
Lender with a statement of the outstanding principal balance of the Governmental Lender Note
and the Funding Loan.
(e) Interest. Interest shall be paid on the outstanding principal amount of the
Governmental Lender Note at the rate or rates set forth in the Borrower Note and otherwise as
set forth in the Borrower Loan Agreement.
(f) Corresponding Payments. The payment or prepayment of principal, interest and
premium, if any, due on the Funding Loan and the Governmental Lender Note shall be identical
with and shall be made on the same dates, terms and conditions, as the principal, interest,
premiums, late payment fees and other amounts due on the Borrower Note. Any payment or
prepayment made by the Borrower of principal, interest, and Prepayment Premium, if any, due
on a Borrower Note shall be deemed to be like payments or prepayments of principal, interest
and Prepayment Premium, if any, due on the related Governmental Lender Note.
(g) Usury. The Governmental Lender intends to conform strictly to the usury laws
applicable to this Funding Loan Agreement and the Governmental Lender Note and all
agreements made in the Governmental Lender Note, this Funding Loan Agreement and the
Funding Loan Documents are expressly limited so that in no event whatsoever shall the amount
paid or agreed to be paid as interest or the amounts paid for the use of money advanced or to be
advanced hereunder exceed the highest lawful rate prescribed under any law which a court of
-16-
competent jurisdiction may deem applicable hereto. If, from any circumstances whatsoever, the
fulfillment of any provision of the Governmental Lender Note, this Funding Loan Agreement or
the other Funding Loan Documents shall involve the payment of interest in excess of the limit
prescribed by any law which a court of competent jurisdiction may deem applicable hereto, then
the obligation to pay interest hereunder shall be reduced to the maximum limit prescribed by
law. If from any circumstances whatsoever, the Funding Lender shall ever receive anything of
value deemed interest, the amount of which would exceed the highest lawful rate, such amount
as would be excessive interest shall be deemed to have been applied, as of the date of receipt by
the Funding Lender, to the reduction of the principal remaining unpaid hereunder and not to the
payment of interest, or if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid principal balance, such excess
shall be refunded to the Borrower. This paragraph shall control every other provision of the
Governmental Lender Note, this Funding Loan Agreement and all other Funding Loan
Documents.
In determining whether the amount of interest charged and paid might otherwise exceed
the limit prescribed by law, the Governmental Lender intends and agrees that (i) interest shall be
computed upon the assumption that payments under the Borrower Loan Agreement and other
Funding Loan Documents will be paid according to the agreed terms, and (ii) any sums of money
that are taken into account in the calculation of interest, even though paid at one time, shall be
spread over the actual term of the Funding Loan.

the Funding Loan, simultaneously with the delivery of this Funding Loan Agreement to the
Funding Lender, the Governmental Lender hereby agrees to execute and deliver the
Governmental Lender Note. The Governmental Lender Note shall be substantially in the form
set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto, with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions
and other variations as are required or permitted by this Funding Loan Agreement.
In connection with Conversion, the Funding Lender shall have the right to exchange the
then existing Governmental Lender Note on or after the Conversion Date for a new Governmental
Lender Note with a dated date of the Conversion Date and in a stated principal amount equal to
the then outstanding principal amount of the Governmental Lender Note, which amount will
equal the Permanent Period Amount (as defined in the Borrower Loan Agreement) of the
Borrower Loan, but shall not otherwise change any material terms of the Governmental Lender
Note.
Section 2.3. Execution and Delivery of Governmental Lender Note. The Governmental
Lender Note shall be executed on behalf of the Governmental Lender by the manual or facsimile
signature of an Authorized Governmental Lender Representative. The manual or facsimile
signature of the individual who was the proper officer of the Governmental Lender at the time of
execution shall bind the Governmental Lender, notwithstanding that such individual shall have
ceased to hold such office prior to the execution and delivery of the Governmental Lender Note
or shall not have held such office at the date of the Governmental Lender Note.

the Noteowners on the registration books maintained by the Funding Lender pursuant to Section
2.4(e).
(d) No service charge shall be made for any sale or assignment of any portion of the
Governmental Lender Note, but the Governmental Lender may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with
any such sale or assignment. Such sums shall be paid in every instance by the purchaser or
assignee of the Funding Loan or portion thereof.
(e) The Governmental Lender Note, or any interest therein, shall be in fully registered
form transferable to subsequent owners only on the registration books which shall be maintained
by the Funding Lender for such purpose and which shall be open to inspection by the
Governmental Lender. The Governmental Lender Note shall not be transferred through the
services of the Depository Trust Company or any other third party registrar.
The Funding Lender is the initial registered owner of the Governmental Lender Note and
shall remain the sole registered owner of the Governmental Lender Note except as provided
herein. The Funding Lender shall provide written notice to the Governmental Lender of any
transfer by the Funding Lender of the Governmental Lender Note or any portion of or any interest
of the Funding Lender in the Governmental Lender Note.

to the Funding Loan or the Governmental Lender Note.

of funding the Borrower Loan;

knowingly fail to take any action or actions, which would cause the interest payable on

purposes;
(c) Whenever and so often as requested in writing by Funding Lender, the
Governmental Lender (at the sole cost and expense of the Borrower), shall do and perform
all acts and things permitted by law and necessary or desirable in order to assure that
interest paid by the Governmental Lender on the Governmental Lender Note will be
excluded from the gross income of the owner of the Governmental Lender Note, for
federal income tax purposes, pursuant to Section 103 of the Code, except in the event

user” of the facilities financed with the Funding Loan or a “related person” within the
meaning of Section 147(a) of the Code;
(d) Not knowingly take any action nor, solely in reliance upon the covenants
and representations of the Borrower in the Borrower Loan Agreement, in the Regulatory
Agreement and in the Tax Certificate, knowingly permit or suffer any action to be taken

guaranteed” within the meaning of Section 149(b) of the Code and the Regulations;
(e) Require the Borrower to agree, solely by causing the Borrower to execute
and deliver the Borrower Loan Agreement, not to commit any act and not to make any
use of the proceeds of the Funding Loan, or any other moneys which may be deemed to

103(b) and 148 the Code, and to comply with the requirements of the Code throughout
the term of the Funding Loan; and
(f) Require the Borrower, solely by causing the Borrower to execute and

Borrower shall execute, deliver and comply with the provisions of the Tax Certificate, which are
by this reference incorporated into this Funding Loan Agreement and made a part of this Funding
Loan Agreement as if set forth in this Funding Loan Agreement in full. In the event of any conflict
-26-
between this Funding Loan Agreement and the Tax Certificate, the requirements of the Tax
Certificate shall control.
For purposes of this Section 8.7 the Governmental Lender’s compliance shall be based
solely on matters within the Governmental Lender’s knowledge and control and no acts,
omissions or directions of the Borrower, the Funding Lender or any other Persons shall be
attributed to the Governmental Lender.
In complying with the foregoing covenants, the Governmental Lender may rely from time
to time on a Tax Counsel No Adverse Effect Opinion or other appropriate opinion of Tax Counsel.

from the responsibility for performance and observance of the agreements and covenants
required to be performed and observed by it hereunder, the Borrower, on behalf of the

ARTICLE IX
DEFAULT; REMEDIES
Section 9.1. Events of Default. Any one or more of the following shall constitute an event
of default (an “Event of Default”) under this Funding Loan Agreement (whatever the reason for
such event and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or
pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any
administrative or governmental body):
(a) A default in the payment of any interest upon the Governmental Lender
Note when such interest becomes due and payable;
(b) A default in the payment of principal of, or premium on, the Governmental
Lender Note when such principal or premium becomes due and payable, whether at its
stated maturity, by declaration of acceleration or call for mandatory prepayment or
otherwise;
(c) Subject to Section 8.8 hereof, default in the performance or breach of any
material covenant or warranty of the Governmental Lender in this Funding Loan
Agreement (other than a covenant or warranty or default in the performance or breach of
which is elsewhere in this Section specifically dealt with), and continuance of such default
or breach for a period of 30 days after there has been given written notice, as provided in
Section 12.1 hereof, to the Governmental Lender and the Borrower by the Funding Lender
or the Servicer, specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and
stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” under this Funding Loan Agreement;
provided that, so long as the Governmental Lender has commenced to cure such failure
to observe or perform within the thirty (30) day cure period, the subject matter of the
-27-
default is not capable of cure within said thirty (30) day period and the Governmental
Lender is diligently pursuing such cure to the Funding Lender’s satisfaction, with the
Funding Lender’s Written Direction or Written Consent, then the Governmental Lender
shall have an additional period of time as reasonably necessary (not to exceed 30 days
unless extended in writing by the Funding Lender) within which to cure such default;
(d) A default in the payment of any Additional Borrower Payments; or
(e) Any other “Default” or “Event of Default” under any of the other Funding
Loan Documents (taking into account any applicable grace periods therein).
Section 9.2. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.
(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 9.9 hereof, upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default under Section 9.1 hereof, then and in every such case, the Funding Lender may declare
the principal of the Funding Loan and the Governmental Lender Note and the interest accrued
to be immediately due and payable, by notice to the Governmental Lender, Borrower and the
Equity Investor, and upon any such declaration, all principal of and Prepayment Premium, if any,
and interest on the Funding Loan and the Governmental Lender Note shall become immediately
due and payable.
(b) At any time after a declaration of acceleration has been made pursuant to
subsection (a) of this Section, the Funding Lender may by Written Notice to the Governmental
Lender rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:
(i) there has been deposited with the Funding Lender a sum sufficient to pay
(1) all overdue installments of interest on the Funding Loan, (2) the principal of and
Prepayment Premium on the Funding Loan that has become due otherwise than by such
declaration of acceleration and interest thereon at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in
the Funding Loan, (3) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon
overdue installments of interest at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in the Funding
Loan, and (4) all sums paid or advanced by the Funding Lender and the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Funding Lender, its agents
and counsel (but only to the extent not duplicative with subclauses (1) and (3) above); and
(ii) all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of the principal of the
Funding Loan that has become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been
cured or have been waived in writing as provided in Section 9.9 hereof.
No such rescission and annulment shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right
consequent thereon.
(c) Notwithstanding the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, it is
understood that the Funding Lender shall pursue no remedies against the Borrower, any of the
Borrower’s partners or the Project if no Borrower Loan Agreement Default has occurred and is
continuing. An Event of Default hereunder shall not in and of itself constitute a Borrower Loan
Agreement Default.
-28-
Section 9.3. Additional Remedies; Funding Lender Enforcement.
(a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Funding Lender may, subject to
the provisions of this Section 9.3 and Section 9.9 hereof, proceed to protect and enforce its rights
by mandamus or other suit, action or proceeding at law or in equity. No remedy conferred by
this Funding Loan Agreement upon or remedy reserved to the Funding Lender is intended to be
exclusive of any other remedy, but each such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition
to any other remedy given to the Funding Lender hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law
or in equity or by statute.
(b) Upon the occurrence and continuation of any Event of Default, the Funding
Lender may proceed forthwith to protect and enforce its rights and this Funding Loan Agreement
by such suits, actions or proceedings as the Funding Lender, in its sole discretion, shall deem
expedient. Funding Lender shall have upon the occurrence and continuation of any Event of
Default all rights, powers, and remedies with respect to the Security as are available under the

otherwise exercise all rights of ownership thereof, including (but not limited to) the sale

(ii) to become mortgagee of record for the Borrower Loan including, without
limitation, completing the assignment of the Security Instrument by the Governmental
Lender to the Funding Lender as anticipated by this Funding Loan Agreement, and
recording the same in the real estate records of the jurisdiction in which the Project is
located, without further act or consent of the Governmental Lender, and to service and
administer the same for its own account;
(iii) to service and administer the Funding Loan as agent and on behalf of the
Governmental Lender or otherwise, and, if applicable, to take such actions necessary to
enforce the Borrower Loan Documents and the Funding Loan Documents on its own
behalf, and to take such alternative courses of action, as it may deem appropriate; or
(iv) to take such steps to protect and enforce its rights whether by action, suit
or proceeding in equity or at law for the specific performance of any covenant, condition
or agreement in the Governmental Lender Note, this Funding Loan Agreement or the
other Funding Loan Documents, or the Borrower Loan Documents, or in and of the
execution of any power herein granted, or for foreclosure hereunder, or for enforcement
of any other appropriate legal or equitable remedy or otherwise as the Funding Lender
may elect.
(c) Whether or not an Event of Default has occurred, the Funding Lender, in its sole
discretion, shall have the sole right to waive or forbear from enforcing any term, condition,
-29-
covenant or agreement of the Security Instrument, the Borrower Loan Agreement, the Borrower
Note or any other Borrower Loan Documents or Funding Loan Documents applicable to the
Borrower, or any breach thereof, other than a covenant that would adversely impact the tax-
exempt status of the interest on the Governmental Lender Note, and provided that the
Governmental Lender may seek specific performance by the Borrower to enforce the Unassigned
Rights; provided, however, that any such forbearance by the Funding Lender in the exercise of
its remedies under the Funding Loan Documents shall not be construed as a waiver by the
Funding Lender of any Conditions to Conversion (as such term is defined in the Borrower Loan
Agreement).
(d) If the Borrower defaults in the performance or observance of any covenant,
agreement or obligation of the Borrower set forth in the Regulatory Agreement, and if such
default remains uncured for a period of 60 days after the Borrower, the Equity Investor and the
Funding Lender receive Written Notice stating that a default under the Regulatory Agreement
has occurred and specifying the nature of the default, the Funding Lender shall have the right to
seek specific performance of the provisions of the Regulatory Agreement or to exercise its other
rights or remedies thereunder; provided, however, that any such forbearance by the Funding
Lender in the exercise of its remedies under the Funding Loan Documents shall not be construed
as a waiver by the Funding Lender of any Conditions to Conversion.
(e) If the Borrower defaults in the performance of its obligations under the Borrower
Loan Agreement (subject to applicable notice and cure periods) to make rebate payments, to
comply with any applicable continuing disclosure requirements, or to make payments owed
pursuant to Sections 2.5, 5.14 or 5.15 of the Borrower Loan Agreement for fees, expenses or
indemnification, the Funding Lender shall have the right to exercise all its rights and remedies
thereunder (subject to the last paragraph of Section 9.14 hereof).
Section 9.4. Application of Money Collected. Any money collected by the Funding
Lender pursuant to this Article and any other sums then held by the Funding Lender as part of
the Security, shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Funding
Lender:
(a) First: To the payment of any and all amounts due under the Funding Loan
Documents other than with respect to principal and interest accrued on the Funding Loan,
including, without limitation, any amounts due to the Governmental Lender, the Funding
Lender, the Servicer and the Rebate Analyst;
(b) Second: To the payment of the whole amount of the Funding Loan, as
evidenced by the Governmental Lender Note, then due and unpaid in respect of which or
for the benefit of which such money has been collected, with interest (to the extent that
such interest has been collected or a sum sufficient therefor has been so collected and
payment thereof is legally enforceable at the respective rate or rates prescribed therefor in
the Funding Loan) on overdue principal of, and Prepayment Premium and overdue
installments of interest on the Funding Loan; provided, however, that partial interests in
any portion of the Funding Loan shall be paid in such order of priority as may be
prescribed by Written Direction of the Funding Lender in its sole and absolute discretion;
and
-30-
(c) Third: The payment of the remainder, if any, to the Borrower or to
whosoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent
jurisdiction may direct.
If and to the extent this Section 9.4 conflicts with the provisions of the Servicing
Agreement, the provisions of the Servicing Agreement shall control. Capitalized terms used in
this Section 9.4 but not otherwise defined in this Funding Loan Agreement shall have the
meanings given such terms in the Servicing Agreement.
Section 9.5. Remedies Vested in Funding Lender. All rights of action and claims under
this Funding Loan Agreement or the Governmental Lender Note may be prosecuted and enforced
by the Funding Lender without the possession of the Governmental Lender Note or the
production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto.
Section 9.6. Restoration of Positions. If Funding Lender shall have instituted any
proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Funding Loan Agreement and such
proceeding shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been
determined adversely to the Funding Lender, then and in every such case the Governmental
Lender and the Funding Lender shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be
restored to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the
Governmental Lender and the Funding Lender shall continue as though no such proceeding had
been instituted.
Section 9.7. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy herein conferred
upon or reserved to the Funding Lender is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy,
and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition
to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity
or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall
not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.
Section 9.8. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Funding Lender
to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such right or
remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every
right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Funding Lender may be exercised from
time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by Funding Lender. No waiver of any
default or Event of Default pursuant to Section 9.9 hereof shall extend to or shall affect any
subsequent default or Event of Default hereunder or shall impair any rights or remedies
consequent thereon.
Section 9.9. Waiver of Past Defaults. Before any judgment or decree for payment of
money due has been obtained by the Funding Lender, the Funding Lender may, subject to Section
9.6 hereof, by Written Notice to the Governmental Lender and the Borrower, waive any past
default hereunder or under the Borrower Loan Agreement and its consequences except for
default in obligations due the Governmental Lender pursuant to or under the Unassigned Rights.
Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising
therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Funding Loan
-31-
Agreement and the Borrower Loan Agreement; but no such waiver shall extend to any
subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.
Section 9.10. Remedies Under Borrower Loan Agreement or Borrower Note. As set
forth in this Section 9.10 but subject to Section 9.9 hereof, the Funding Lender shall have the right,
in its own name or on behalf of the Governmental Lender, to declare any default and exercise any
remedies under the Borrower Loan Agreement or the Borrower Note, whether or not the
Governmental Lender Note has been accelerated or declared due and payable by reason of an
Event of Default.
Section 9.11. Waiver of Appraisement and Other Laws.
(a) To the extent permitted by law, the Governmental Lender will not at any time
insist upon, plead, claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any appraisement, valuation, stay,
extension or redemption law now or hereafter in force, in order to prevent or hinder the
enforcement of this Funding Loan Agreement; and the Governmental Lender, for itself and all
who may claim under it, so far as it or they now or hereafter may lawfully do so, hereby waives
the benefit of all such laws. The Governmental Lender, for itself and all who may claim under it,
waives, to the extent that it may lawfully do so, all right to have the property in the Security
marshaled upon any enforcement hereof.
(b) If any law now in effect prohibiting the waiver referred to in clause (a) shall
hereafter be repealed or cease to be in force, such law shall not thereafter be deemed to constitute
any part of the contract herein contained or to preclude the application of this Section 9.11.
Section 9.12. Suits to Protect the Security. The Funding Lender shall have power to
institute and to maintain such proceedings as it may deem expedient to prevent any impairment
of the Security by any acts that may be unlawful or in violation of this Funding Loan Agreement
and to protect its interests in the Security and in the rents, issues, profits, revenues and other
income arising therefrom, including power to institute and maintain proceedings to restrain the
enforcement of or compliance with any governmental enactment, rule or order that may be
unconstitutional or otherwise invalid, if the enforcement of or compliance with such en actment,
rule or order would impair the security hereunder or be prejudicial to the interests of the Funding
Lender.
Section 9.13. Remedies Subject to Applicable Law. All rights, remedies and powers
provided by this Article may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not
violate any applicable provision of law in the premises, and all the provisions of this Article are
intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of law which may be controlling in
the premises and to be limited to the extent necessary so that they will not render this Funding
Loan Agreement invalid, unenforceable or not entitled to be recorded, registered or filed under
the provisions of any applicable law.
Section 9.14. Assumption of Obligations. In the event that the Funding Lender or its
assignee or designee shall become the legal or beneficial owner of the Project by foreclosure or
deed in lieu of foreclosure, such party shall succeed to the rights and the obligations of the
Borrower under the Borrower Loan Agreement, the Borrower Note, the Regulatory Agreement
-32-
and any other Funding Loan Documents to which the Borrower is a party. Such assumption shall
be effective from and after the effective date of such acquisition and shall be made with the benefit
of the limitations of liability set forth therein and without any liability for the prior acts of the
Borrower.
It is the intention of the parties hereto that upon the occurrence and continuance of an
Event of Default hereunder, rights and remedies may be pursued pursuant to the terms of the
Funding Loan Documents.

as a waiver or bar to any such remedy, right or option on a future occasion. The rights, remedies
and options of the Holder under this Governmental Lender Note and the Funding Loan
Documents are and shall be cumulative and are in addition to all of the rights, remedies and
options of the Holder at law or in equity or under any other agreement.

notice of dishonor, protest and notice of protest are hereby waived. The acceptance by the Holder
of any amount after the same is due shall not constitute a waiver of the right to require prompt
payment, when due, of all other amounts due hereunder. The acceptance by the Holder of any
sum in an amount less than the amount then due shall be deemed an acceptance on account only
and upon condition that such acceptance shall not constitute a waiver of the obligation of Obligor
to pay the entire sum then due, and Obligor’s failure to pay such amount then due shall be and
continue to be a default notwithstanding such acceptance of such amount on account, as
aforesaid. Consent by the Holder to any action of Obligor which is subject to consent or approval

approval to future or successive actions.

Agreement and related documents, (b) the Governmental Lender Note is not secured by any
pledge of any moneys received or to be received from taxation by the State of California or any

understands that the Borrower has no significant assets other than the Project, revenues from

ARTICLE IV
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
Section 4.1. Borrower Representations. To induce the Governmental Lender to execute
this Borrower Loan Agreement and to induce the Funding Lender to make Disbursements, the
Borrower represents and warrants for the benefit of the Governmental Lender, the Funding
Lender and the Servicer, that the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 4.1 are
complete and accurate as of the Closing Date and will be complete and accurate, and deemed
remade, as of the date of each Disbursement, as of the original Outside Conversion Date, as of the
date of any extension thereof and as of the Conversion Date in accordance with the terms and
conditions of the Borrower Note. Subject to Section 4.2 hereof, the representations, warranties
and agreements set forth in this Section 4.1 shall survive the making of the Borrower Loan, and
shall remain in effect and true and correct in all material respects until the Borrower Loan and all
other Borrower Payment Obligations have been repaid in full:
Section 4.1.1 Organization; Special Purpose. The Borrower is a limited partnership in
good standing under the laws of the State (and under the laws of the state in which the Borrower
was formed if the Borrower was not formed under the laws of the State), has full legal right,
power and authority to enter into the Borrower Loan Documents to which it is a party, and to
carry out and consummate all transactions contemplated by the Borrower Loan Documents to
which it is a party, and by proper limited partnership action has duly authorized the execution,
delivery and performance of the Borrower Loan Documents to which it is a party. The Person(s)
of the Borrower executing the Borrower Loan Documents and the Funding Loan Documents to
which the Borrower is a party are fully authorized to execute the same. The Borrower Loan
Documents and the Funding Loan Documents to which the Borrower is a party have been duly
authorized, executed and delivered by the Borrower. The sole business of the Borrower is the
ownership, management and operation of the Project.
Section 4.1.2 Proceedings; Enforceability. Assuming due execution and delivery by the
other parties thereto, the Borrower Loan Documents and the Funding Loan Documents to which
the Borrower is a party will constitute the legal, valid and binding agreements of the Borrower
enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with their terms; except in each case as
enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other laws affecting the enforcement
of creditors’ rights generally, by the application of equitable principles regardless of whether
enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity and by public policy.
Section 4.1.3 No Conflicts. The execution and delivery of the Borrower Loan Documents
and the Funding Loan Documents to which the Borrower is a party, the consummation of the
transactions herein and therein contemplated and the fulfillment of or compliance with the terms
and conditions hereof and thereof, will not conflict with or constitute a violation or breach of or
default (with due notice or the passage of time or both) under the Partnership Agreement of the
Borrower or to the best knowledge of the Borrower and with respect to the Borrower, any
applicable law or administrative rule or regulation, or any applicable court or administrative
decree or order, or any mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, lease, contract or other
agreement or instrument to which the Borrower is a party or by which it or its properties are
-29-
otherwise subject or bound, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or
encumbrance of any nature whatsoever (other than the lien of the Security Instrument) upon any
of the property or assets of the Borrower, which conflict, violation, breach, default, lien, charge
or encumbrance might have consequences that would materially and adversely affect the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Borrower Loan Documents and the
Funding Loan Documents, or the financial condition, assets, properties or operations of the
Borrower.
Section 4.1.4 Litigation; Adverse Facts. There is no Legal Action, nor is there a basis
known to Borrower for any Legal Action, before or by any court or federal, state, municipal or
other governmental authority, pending, or to the knowledge of the Borrower, after reasonable
investigation, threatened, against or affecting the Borrower, the General Partner or the Guarantor,
or their respective assets, properties or operations which, if determined adversely to the Borrower
or its interests, would have a material adverse effect upon the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by, or the validity of, the Borrower Loan Documents or the Funding Loan
Documents, upon the ability of each of Borrower, General Partner and Guarantor to perform their
respective obligations under the Borrower Loan Documents, the Funding Loan Documents and
the Related Documents to which it is a party, or upon the financial condition, assets (including
the Project), properties or operations of the Borrower, the General Partner or the Guarantor. None
of the Borrower, General Partner or Guarantor is in default (and no event has occurred and is
continuing which with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both could constitute a
default) with respect to any order or decree of any court or any order, regulation or demand of
any federal, state, municipal or other governmental authority, which default might have
consequences that would materially and adversely affect the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by the Borrower Loan Documents and the Funding Loan Documents, the ability of
each of Borrower, General Partner and Guarantor to perform their respective obligations under
the Borrower Loan Documents, the Funding Loan Documents and the Related Documents to
which it is a party, or the financial condition, assets, properties or operations of the Borrower,
General Partner or Guarantor. None of Borrower, General Partner or Guarantor are (a) in
violation of any applicable law, which violation materially and adversely affects or may
materially and adversely affect the business, operations, assets (including the Project), condition
(financial or otherwise) or prospects of Borrower, General Partner or Guarantor, as applicable; (b)
subject to, or in default with respect to, any other Legal Requirement that would have a material
adverse effect on the business, operations, assets (including the Project), condition (financial or
otherwise) or prospects of Borrower, General Partner or Guarantor, as applicable; or (c) in default
with respect to any agreement to which Borrower, General Partner or Guarantor, as applicable,
are a party or by which they are bound, which default would have a material adverse effect on
the business, operations, assets (including the Project), condition (financial or otherwise) or
prospects of Borrower, General Partner or Guarantor, as applicable; and (d) there is no Legal
Action pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower, threatened against or affecting Borrower,
General Partner or Guarantor questioning the validity or the enforceability of this Borrower Loan
Agreement or any of the other Borrower Loan Documents or the Funding Loan Documents or of
any of the Related Documents. All tax returns (federal, state and local) required to be filed by or
on behalf of the Borrower have been filed, and all taxes shown thereon to be due, including
interest and penalties, except such, if any, as are being actively contested by the Borrower in good
faith, have been paid or adequate reserves have been made for the payment thereof which
reserves, if any, are reflected in the audited financial statements described therein. The Borrower
-30-
enjoys the peaceful and undisturbed possession of all of the premises upon which it is operating
its facilities.
Section 4.1.5 Agreements; Consents; Approvals. Except as contemplated by the
Borrower Loan Documents and the Funding Loan Documents, the Borrower is not a party to any
agreement or instrument or subject to any restriction that would materially adversely affect the
Borrower, the Project, or the Borrower’s business, properties, operations or financial condition or
business prospects, except the Permitted Encumbrances. The Borrower is not in default in any
material respect in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants
or conditions contained in any Permitted Encumbrance or any other agreement or instrument to
which it is a party or by which it or the Project is bound.
No consent or approval of any trustee or holder of any indebtedness of the Borrower, and
to the best knowledge of the Borrower and only with respect to the Borrower, no consent,
permission, authorization, order or license of, or filing or registration with, any governmental
authority (except no representation is made with respect to any state securities or “blue sky” laws)
is necessary in connection with the execution and delivery of the Borrower Loan Documents or
the Funding Loan Documents, or the consummation of any transaction herein or therein
contemplated, or the fulfillment of or compliance with the terms and conditions hereof or thereof,
except as have been obtained or made and as are in full force and effect.
Section 4.1.6 Title. The Borrower shall have marketable title to the Project, free and clear
of all Liens except the Permitted Encumbrances. The Security Instrument, when properly
recorded in the appropriate records, together with any UCC financing statements required to be
filed in connection therewith, will create (i) a valid, perfected first priority lien on the fee interest
in the Project and (ii) perfected security interests in and to, and perfected collateral assignments
of, all personalty included in the Project (including the Leases), all in accordance with the terms
thereof, in each case subject only to any applicable Permitted Encumbrances. To the Borrower’s
knowledge, there are no delinquent real property taxes or assessments, including water and
sewer charges, with respect to the Project, nor are there any claims for payment for work, labor
or materials affecting the Project which are or may become a Lien prior to, or of equal priority
with, the Liens created by the Borrower Loan Documents and the Funding Loan Documents.
Section 4.1.7 Survey. To the best knowledge of the Borrower, the survey for the Project
delivered to the Governmental Lender and the Funding Lender does not fail to reflect any
material matter affecting the Project or the title thereto.
Section 4.1.8 No Bankruptcy Filing. The Borrower is not contemplating either the filing
of a petition by it under any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency law or the liquidation of
all or a major portion of its property (a “Bankruptcy Proceeding”), and the Borrower has no
knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any such petition against it. As of the
Closing Date, the Borrower has the ability to pay its debts as they become due.
Section 4.1.9 Full and Accurate Disclosure. No statement of fact made by the Borrower
in any Borrower Loan Document or any Funding Loan Document contains any untrue statement
of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make statements contained
therein in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading. There is no
-31-
material fact or circumstance presently known to the Borrower that has not been disclosed to the
Governmental Lender and the Funding Lender which materially and adversely affects the Project
or the business, operations or financial condition or business prospects of the Borrower or the
Borrower’s ability to meet its obligations under this Borrower Loan Agreement and the other
Borrower Loan Documents and Funding Loan Documents to which it is a party in a timely
manner.

Section 4.1.11 Compliance. The Borrower, the Project and the use thereof will comply,
to the extent required, in all material respects with all applicable Legal Requirements. The
Borrower is not in default or violation of any order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any
Governmental Authority, the violation of which would materially adversely affect the financial
condition or business prospects or the business of the Borrower. There has not been committed
by the Borrower or any Borrower Affiliate involved with the operation or use of the Project any

course of the Borrower’s business and provide for the payment of fees in amounts and upon terms
comparable to existing market rates.
Section 4.1.13 Financial Information. All financial data, including any statements of cash
flow and income and operating expense, that have been delivered to the Governmental Lender
or the Funding Lender in respect of the Project by or on behalf of the Borrower, to the best
knowledge of the Borrower, (i) are accurate and complete in all material respects, as of their
respective dates, (ii) accurately represent the financial condition of the Project as of the date of
such reports, and (iii) to the extent prepared by an independent certified public accounting firm,
have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods
covered, except as disclosed therein. Other than pursuant to or permitted by the Borrower Loan
Documents or the Funding Loan Documents or the Borrower organizational documents, the
Borrower has no contingent liabilities, unusual forward or long-term commitments or unrealized
or anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments. Since the date of such f inancial
statements, there has been no materially adverse change in the financial condition, operations or
business of the Borrower from that set forth in said financial statements.
Section 4.1.14 Condemnation. No Condemnation or other proceeding has been
commenced or, to the Borrower’s knowledge, is contemplated, threatened or pending with
respect to all or part of the Project or for the relocation of roadways providing access to the Project.
-32-
Section 4.1.15 Federal Reserve Regulations. No part of the proceeds of the Borrower
Loan will be used for the purpose of purchasing or acquiring any “margin stock” within the
meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or for any
other purpose that would be inconsistent with such Regulation U or any other regulation of such
Board of Governors, or for any purpose prohibited by Legal Requirements or any Borrower Loan
Document or Funding Loan Document.
Section 4.1.16 Utilities and Public Access. To the best of the Borrower’s knowledge, the
Project is or will be served by water, sewer, sanitary sewer and storm drain facilities adequate to
service it for its intended uses. All public utilities necessary or convenient to the full use and
enjoyment of the Project are or will be located in the public right-of-way abutting the Project, and
all such utilities are or will be connected so as to serve the Project without passing over other
property absent a valid easement. All roads necessary for the use of the Project for its current
purpose have been or will be completed and dedicated to public use and accepted by all
Governmental Authorities. Except for Permitted Encumbrances, the Project does not share
ingress and egress through an easement or private road or share on-site or off-site recreational
facilities and amenities that are not located on the Project and under the exclusive control of the
Borrower, or where there is shared ingress and egress or amenities, there exists an easement or
joint use and maintenance agreement under which (i) access to and use and enjoyment of the
easement or private road and/or recreational facilities and amenities is perpetual, (ii) the number
of parties sharing such easement and/or recreational facilities and amenities must be specified,
(iii) the Borrower’s responsibilities and share of expenses are specified, and (iv) the failure to pay
any maintenance fee with respect to an easement will not result in a loss of usage of the easement.

meaning of §1445(f)(3) of the Code.
Section 4.1.18 Separate Lots. Each parcel comprising the Land is a separate tax lot and

the Security Instrument.
Section 4.1.22 Use of Property; Licenses. The Project will be used exclusively as a
multifamily residential rental project and other appurtenant and related uses, which use is
-33-
consistent with the zoning classification for the Project. All certifications, permits, licenses and
approvals, including certificates of completion and occupancy permits required for the legal use
or legal, nonconforming use, as applicable, occupancy and operation of the Project (collectively,
the “Licenses”) required at this time for the rehabilitation and equipping of the Project have been
obtained. To the Borrower’s knowledge, all Licenses obtained by the Borrower have been validly
issued and are in full force and effect. The Borrower has no reason to believe that any of the
Licenses required for the future use and occupancy of the Project and not heretofore obtained by
the Borrower will not be obtained by the Borrower in the ordinary course following the
Completion Date. No Licenses will terminate, or become void or voidable or terminable, upon
any sale, transfer or other disposition of the Project, including any transfer pursuant to
foreclosure sale under the Security Instrument or deed in lieu of foreclosure thereunder. The
Project does not violate any density or building setback requirements of the applicable zoning
law except to the extent, if any, shown on the survey. No proceedings are, to the best of the
Borrower’s knowledge, pending or threatened that would result in a change of the zoning of the
Project.

rehabilitation, rehabilitation and/or repairs, as appropriate, will be in good and habitable
condition in all material respects and in good order and repair in all material respects (reasonable
wear and tear excepted). The Borrower has not received notice from any insurance company or
bonding company of any defect or inadequacy in the Project, or any part thereof, which would
adversely affect its insurability or cause the imposition of extraordinary premiums or charges
thereon or any termination of any policy of insurance or bond. The physical configuration of the
Project is not in material violation of the ADA, if required under applicable law.
Section 4.1.25 Encroachments. All of the Improvements included in determining the
appraised value of the Project will lie wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines
of the Project, and no improvement on an adjoining property encroaches upon the Project, and
no easement or other encumbrance upon the Project encroaches upon any of the Improvements,
so as to affect the value or marketability of the Project, except those insured against by the Title
Insurance Policy or disclosed in the survey of the Project as approved by the Servicer.

Section 4.1.29 Fraudulent Transfer. The Borrower has not accepted the Borrower Loan
or entered into any Borrower Loan Document or Funding Loan Document with the actual intent
to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor, and the Borrower has received reasonably equivalent
value in exchange for its obligations under the Borrower Loan Documents and the Funding Loan
Documents. Giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Borrower Loan Documents

will, immediately following the execution and delivery of the Borrower Loan Documents and the
Funding Loan Documents, exceed the Borrower’s total liabilities, including subordinated,
unliquidated, disputed or contingent liabilities. The fair saleable value of the Borrower’s assets
is and will, immediately following the execution and delivery of the Borrower Loan Documents
and the Funding Loan Documents, be greater than the Borrower’s probable liabilities, including
the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities or its debts as such debts become absolute and
matured. The Borrower’s assets do not and, immediately following the execution and delivery
of the Borrower Loan Documents and the Funding Loan Documents will not, constitute
unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted.
The Borrower does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur debts and liabilities

they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts to be payable on or in respect of
obligations of the Borrower).

covenants and requirements relating to environmental hazards as set forth in the Security
Instrument. The Borrower will execute and deliver the Agreement of Environmental
Indemnification on the Closing Date.

10.1 hereof, and the Borrower has no other place of business, other than the Project and such
principal place of business.

financing of the Project, (b) it is familiar with the provisions of all of the Borrower Loan
Documents and the Funding Loan Documents and other documents and instruments relating to
the financing, (c) it understands the risks inherent in such transactions, including without

Funding Lender or the Servicer for any guidance or expertise in analyzing the financial or other
consequences of the transactions contemplated by the Borrower Loan Documents and the
Funding Loan Documents or otherwise relied on the Governmental Lender, the Funding Lender
or the Servicer in any manner.

of the bankruptcy of the Borrower or an assignment by the Borrower for the benefit of its
creditors, the Borrower shall be chargeable with and agrees to pay all costs of collection and

Governmental Lender, the Funding Lender and the Servicer (except as provided in Section 9.1
hereof) in connection with the Borrower Loan and the Funding Loan, including reasonable fees

and the Servicer (except as provided in Section 9.1 hereof) in connection with the issuance or
administration of the Borrower Loan and the Funding Loan, including audit costs, inspection
fees, settlement of condemnation and casualty awards, and premiums for title insurance and
endorsements thereto. The Borrower shall, upon request, promptly reimburse the Governmental
Lender, the Funding Lender and the Servicer for all reasonable amounts expended, advanced or
incurred by the Governmental Lender, the Funding Lender and the Servicer to collect the
Borrower Note, or to enforce the rights of the Governmental Lender, the Funding Lender and the
Servicer under this Borrower Loan Agreement or any other the Borrower Loan Document, or to
defend or assert the rights and claims of the Governmental Lender, the Funding Lender and the
Servicer under the Borrower Loan Documents and the Funding Loan Documents arising out of
-44-
an Event of Default or with respect to the Project (by litigation or other proceedings) arising out
of an Event of Default, which amounts will include all court costs, attorneys’ fees and expenses,
fees of auditors and accountants, and investigation expenses as may be reasonably incurred by
the Governmental Lender, the Funding Lender and the Servicer in connection with any such
matters (whether or not litigation is instituted), together with interest at the Default Rate on each
such amount from the date the amount is incurred until the date of reimbursement to the
Governmental Lender, the Funding Lender and the Servicer, all of which shall constitute part of
the Borrower Loan and the Funding Loan and shall be secured by the Borrower Loan Documents
and the Funding Loan Documents. The obligations and liabilities of the Borrower under this
Section 5.14 shall survive the Term of this Borrower Loan Agreement and the exercise by the
Governmental Lender, the Funding Lender or the Servicer, as the case may be, of any of its rights
or remedies under the Borrower Loan Documents and the Funding Loan Documents, including
the acquisition of the Project by foreclosure or a conveyance in lieu of foreclosure.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay amounts incurred as
a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any other party, and any obligations of
the Borrower to pay for environmental inspections or audits will be governed by Section 18(i)
and 43(i) of the Security Instrument.
Section 5.15. Indemnity. In addition to its other obligations hereunder, and in addition
to any and all rights of reimbursement, indemnification, subrogation and other rights of

if in such Indemnified Party’s good faith judgment (based on the advice of counsel) a conflict of
interest exists or could arise by reason of common representation.
Notwithstanding any transfer of the Project to another owner in accordance with the
provisions of this Borrower Loan Agreement or the Regulatory Agreement, the Borrower shall
remain obligated to indemnify each Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 5.15 if such
subsequent owner fails to indemnify any party entitled to be indemnified hereunder, unless the
Governmental Lender and the Funding Lender have consented to such transfer and to the
assignment of the rights and obligations of the Borrower hereunder.
The rights of any persons to indemnity hereunder shall survive the final payment or
defeasance of the Borrower Loan and the Funding Loan and in the case of the Servicer, any
resignation or removal. The provisions of this Section 5.15 shall survive the termination of this
Borrower Loan Agreement.
The foregoing provisions of this Section 5.15 are not intended to and shall not negate,
modify, limit or change the provisions of Section 9 of the Borrower Note.
Section 5.16. No Warranty of Condition or Suitability by the Governmental Lender or
Funding Lender. Neither the Governmental Lender nor the Funding Lender makes any
warranty, either express or implied, as to the condition of the Project or that it will be suitable for
the Borrower’s purposes or needs.
Section 5.17. Right of Access to the Project. The Borrower agrees that the Governmental
Lender, the Funding Lender, the Servicer and the Construction Consultant, and their duly
authorized agents, attorneys, experts, engineers, accountants and representatives shall have the
right, but no obligation, at all reasonable times during business hours and upon reasonable notice,
to enter onto the Land (a) to examine, test and inspect the Project without material interference
or prejudice to the Borrower’s operations and (b) to perform such work in and about the Project
made necessary by reason of the Borrower’s default under any of the provisions of this Borrower
Loan Agreement. The Governmental Lender, the Funding Lender, the Servicer, and their duly
-47-
authorized agents, attorneys, accountants and representatives shall also be permitted, without
any obligation to do so, at all reasonable times and upon reasonable notice during business hours,
to examine the books and records of the Borrower with respect to the Project.
Section 5.18. Notice of Default. The Borrower will advise the Governmental Lender, the
Funding Lender and the Servicer promptly in writing of the occurrence of any Potential Default
or Event of Default hereunder, specifying the nature and period of existence of such event and

Section 5.19. Covenant with Governmental Lender and Funding Lender. The Borrower
agrees that this Borrower Loan Agreement is executed and delivered in part to induce the
purchase by others of the Governmental Lender Note and, accordingly, all covenants and
agreements of the Borrower contained in this Borrower Loan Agreement are hereby declared to
be for the benefit of the Governmental Lender, the Funding Lender and any lawful owner, holder
or pledgee of the Borrower Note or the Governmental Lender Note from time to time.
Section 5.20. Obligation of the Borrower to Rehabilitate the Project. The Borrower shall
proceed with reasonable dispatch to rehabilitate the Project. If the proceeds of the Borrower Loan,
together with the Other Borrower Moneys, available to be disbursed to the Borrower are not
sufficient to pay the costs of such rehabilitation, the Borrower shall pay such additional costs from
its own funds. The Borrower shall not be entitled to any reimbursement from the Governmental
Lender, the Funding Lender or the Servicer in respect of any such costs or to any diminution or
abatement in the repayment of the Borrower Loan. The Governmental Lender and the Funding
Lender shall not be liable to the Borrower or any other person if for any reason the Project is not
completed or if the proceeds of the Borrower Loan are insufficient to pay all costs of the Project.
The Governmental Lender and the Funding Lender do not make any representation or warranty,
either express or implied, that moneys, if any, which will be made available to the Borrower will
be sufficient to complete the Project, and the Governmental Lender and the Funding Lender shall
not be liable to the Borrower or any other person if for any reason the Project is not completed.

done anything to impair any such party’s rights or interests under any of the foregoing.
(b) Borrower will comply and, to the extent it is able, will require others to comply
with, all Legal Requirements of all Governmental Authorities having jurisdiction over the Project

Authorities. Borrower will comply and, to the extent it is able, will require others to comply, with
applicable CC&R’s and all restrictive covenants and all obligations created by private contracts
and leases which affect ownership, rehabilitation, equipping, fixturing, use or operation of the
Project, and all other agreements requiring a certain percentage of the Units to be rented to
persons of low or moderate income. The Improvements, when completed, shall comply with all
applicable building, zoning and other Legal Requirements, and will not violate any restrictions
of record against the Project or the terms of any other lease of all or any portion of the Project.
Funding Lender and Governmental Lender shall at all times have the right to audit, at Borrower’s
expense, Borrower’s compliance with any agreement requiring a certain percentage of the Units
to be rented to persons of low or moderate income, and Borrower shall supply all such
information with respect thereto as Funding Lender or Governmental Lender, as applicable, may
request and otherwise cooperate with Funding Lender or Governmental Lender, as applicable, in
any such audit. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower shall properly obtain,
comply with and keep in effect (and promptly deliver copies to Funding Lender of) all permits,
licenses and approvals which are required to be obtained from Governmental Authorities in
order to rehabilitate, occupy, operate, market and lease the Project.
Section 5.25. Completion and Maintenance of Project. Borrower shall cause the
rehabilitation of the Improvements to be prosecuted with diligence and continuity and completed
substantially in accordance with the Plans and Specifications, and in accordance with the
Construction Funding Agreement, free and clear of any liens or claims for liens (but without
prejudice to Borrower’s rights of contest under Section 10.16 hereof) (“Completion”) on or before

complex in good order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted. A maintenance program
shall be in place at all times to assure the continuation of first class maintenance.

contracts, bills of sale, statements, receipted vouchers or agreements under which Borrower or
any other Person claims title to any materials, fixtures or articles incorporated into the
Improvements.
Section 5.27. Income from Project. Borrower shall first apply all Gross Income to
Expenses of the Project, including all amounts then required to be paid under the Borrower Loan
Documents and the Funding Loan Documents and the funding of all sums necessary to meet the
Replacement Reserve Fund Requirement, before using or applying such Gross Income for any
other purpose. Prior to the Conversion Date, Borrower shall not make or permit any distributions
-51-
or other payments of Net Operating Income to its partners, shareholders or members, as
applicable, in each case, without the prior Written Consent of Funding Lender.
Section 5.28. Leases and Occupancy Agreements.
(a) Lease Approval.
(i) Borrower has submitted to Funding Lender, and Funding Lender has
approved, Borrower’s standard form of tenant lease for use in the Project. Borrower shall
not materially modify that approved lease form without Funding Lender’s prior Written
Consent in each instance, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
Borrower may enter into leases of space within the Improvements (and amendments to
such leases) in the ordinary course of business with bona fide third party tenants without
Funding Lender’s prior Written Consent if:
(A) The lease is a Permitted Lease, and is executed in the form attached
as an exhibit to the Construction Funding Agreement without material
modification;
(B) Borrower, acting in good faith following the exercise of due
diligence, has determined that the tenant meets requirements imposed under any
applicable CC&R and is financially capable of performing all of its obligations
under the lease; and
(C) The lease conforms to the Rent Schedule attached as an exhibit to
the Construction Funding Agreement and reflects an arm’s-length transaction,
subject to the requirement that the Borrower comply with any applicable CC&R.
(ii) If any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Funding Lender
may make written demand on Borrower to submit all future leases for Funding Lender’s
approval prior to execution. Borrower shall comply with any such demand by Funding
Lender.
(iii) No approval of any lease by Funding Lender shall be for any purpose other
than to protect Funding Lender’s security for the Borrower Loan and to preserve Funding
Lender’s rights under the Borrower Loan Documents and the Funding Loan Documents.
No approval by Funding Lender shall result in a waiver of any default of Borrower. In
no event shall any approval by Funding Lender of a lease be a representation of any kind
with regard to the lease or its enforceability, or the financial capacity of any tenant or
guarantor.
(b) Landlord’s Obligations. Borrower shall perform all obligations required to be
performed by it as landlord under any lease affecting any part of the Project or any space within
the Improvements.
(c) Leasing and Marketing Agreements. Except as may be contemplated in the

correct copies of all Project Agreements and Licenses and the Plans and Specifications, together
with assignments thereof to Funding Lender and consents to such assignments where required
by Funding Lender, all in form and substance acceptable to Funding Lender. Neither Borrower
nor General Partner has assigned or granted, or will assign or grant, a security interest in any of
the Project Agreements and Licenses, other than to Funding Lender.

Funding Lender a copy of any notice of default or notice of any event that might result in default
under any such note, agreement, instrument, including Liens encumbering the Project, or any
portion thereof, which have been subordinated to the Security Instrument (regardless of whether
or not permitted under this Borrower Loan Agreement).
Section 5.31. ERISA. Borrower will comply, and will cause each of its ERISA Affiliates
to comply, in all respects with the provisions of ERISA.
Section 5.32. Patriot Act Compliance. Borrower shall use its good faith and commercially
reasonable efforts to comply with the Patriot Act and all applicable requirements of
Governmental Authorities having jurisdiction over Borrower and/or the Project, including those
relating to money laundering and terrorism. Funding Lender shall have the right to audit
Borrower’s compliance with the Patriot Act and all applicable requirements of Governmental
Authorities having jurisdiction over Borrower and/or the Project, including those relating to
money laundering and terrorism. In the event that Borrower fails to comply with the Patriot Act
or any such requirements of Governmental Authorities, then Funding Lender may, at its option,
cause Borrower to comply therewith and any and all costs and expenses incurred by Funding
Lender in connection therewith shall be secured by the Security Instrument and shall be
immediately due and payable.
Section 5.33. Funds from Equity Investor. Borrower shall cause the Equity Investor to
fund all installments of the Equity Contributions in the amounts and at the times subject and
according to the terms of the Partnership Agreement.
Section 5.34. Tax Covenants. The Borrower further represents, warrants and covenants
as follows:
(a) General. The Borrower shall not take any action or omit to take any action which,
if taken or omitted, respectively, would adversely affect the exclusion of interest on the
Governmental Lender Note from gross income (as defined in Section 61 of the Code), for federal
-53-
income tax purposes and, if it should take or permit any such action, the Borrower will take all
lawful actions that it can take to rescind such action promptly upon having knowledge thereof
and that the Borrower will take such action or actions, including amendment of this Borrower
Loan Agreement, the Security Instrument and the Regulatory Agreement, as may be necessary,
in the opinion of Tax Counsel, to comply fully with all applicable rules, rulings, policies,
procedures, regulations or other official statements promulgated or proposed by the Department
of the Treasury or the Internal Revenue Service applicable to the Governmental Lender Note, the
Funding Loan or affecting the Project. Capitalized terms used in this Section 5.34 shall have the
respective meanings assigned to them in the Regulatory Agreement or, if not defined therein, in
the Funding Loan Agreement. With the intent not to limit the generality of the foregoing, the
Borrower covenants and agrees that, prior to the final maturity of the Governmental Lender Note,
unless it has received and filed with the Governmental Lender and the Funding Lender a Tax
Counsel No Adverse Effect Opinion, as such term is defined in the Funding Loan Agreement
(other than with respect to interest on any portion of the Governmental Lender Note for a period
during which such portion of the Governmental Lender Note is held by a “substantial user” of
any facility financed with the proceeds of the Governmental Lender Note or a “related person,”
as such terms are used in Section 147(a) of the Code), the Borrower will comply with this Section
5.34.
(b) Use of Proceeds. The use of the net proceeds of the Funding Loan at all times will
satisfy the following requirements:
(i) Limitation on Net Proceeds. At least 95% of the net proceeds of the
Funding Loan (within the meaning of the Code) actually expended by Borrower shall be
used to pay Qualified Project Costs that are costs of a “qualified residential rental project”
(within the meaning of Sections 142(a)(7) and 142(d) of the Code) and property that is
“functionally related and subordinate” thereto (within the meaning of Sections 1.103-
8(a)(3) and 1.103-8(b)(4)(iii) of the Regulations).
(ii) Limit on Costs of Funding. The proceeds of the Funding Loan will be
expended by Borrower for the purposes set forth in this Borrower Loan Agreement and
in the Funding Loan Agreement and no portion thereof in excess of two percent of the
proceeds of the Funding Loan, within the meaning of Section 147(g) of the Code, will be
expended to pay Costs of Funding.
(iii) Prohibited Facilities. The Borrower shall not use or permit the use of any
proceeds of the Funding Loan or any income from the investment thereof to provide any
airplane, skybox, or other private luxury box, health club facility, any facility primarily
used for gambling, or any store the principal business of which is the sale of alcoholic
beverages for consumption off premises.
(iv) Limitation on Land. Less than 25 percent of the net proceeds of the
Funding Loan actually expended by Borrower will be used, directly or indirectly, for the
acquisition of land or an interest therein, nor will any portion of the net proceeds of the
Funding Loan be used, directly or indirectly, for the acquisition of land or an interest
therein to be used for farming purposes.
-54-
(v) Limitation on Existing Facilities. No portion of the net proceeds of the
Funding Loan will be used by Borrower for the acquisition of any existing property or an
interest therein unless (A) the first use of such property is pursuant to such acquisition or
(B) the rehabilitation expenditures with respect to any building and the equipment
therefor equal or exceed 15 percent of the cost of acquiring such building financed with
the proceeds of the Funding Loan (with respect to structures other than buildings, this
clause shall be applied by substituting 100 percent for 15 percent). For purposes of the
preceding sentence, the term “rehabilitation expenditures” shall have the meaning set
forth in Section 147(d)(3) of the Code.
(vi) Accuracy of Information. The information furnished by the Borrower and
used by the Governmental Lender in preparing its certifications with respect to Section
148 of the Code and the Borrower’s information statement pursuant to Section 149(e) of
the Code is accurate and complete as of the date of origination of the Funding Loan.
(vii) Limitation of Project Expenditures. The acquisition and rehabilitation of
the Project were not commenced (within the meaning of Section 144(a) of the Code) prior
to the 60th day preceding the adoption of the resolution of the Governmental Lender with
respect to the Project on May 5, 2015, and no obligation for which reimbursement will be
sought from proceeds of the Funding Loan relating to the acquisition or rehabilitation of
the Project was paid or incurred prior to 60 days prior to such date, except for permissible
“preliminary expenditures”, which include architectural, engineering surveying, soil
testing, construction bond issuance and similar costs incurred prior to the commencement
of the acquisition and rehabilitation of the Project.
(viii) Qualified Costs. The Borrower hereby represents, covenants and warrants
that the proceeds of the Funding Loan shall be used or deemed used by Borrower
exclusively to pay Qualified Project Costs.
(c) Limitation on Maturity. The average maturity of the Governmental Lender Note
does not exceed 120 percent of the average reasonably expected economic life of the Project to be
financed by the Funding Loan, weighted in proportion to the respective cost of each item
comprising the property the cost of which has been or will be financed, directly or indirectly, with
the net proceeds of the Funding Loan. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the reasonably
expected economic life of property shall be determined as of the later of (A) the Closing Date for
the Funding Loan or (B) the date on which such property is placed in service (or expected to be
placed in service). In addition, land shall not be taken into account in determining the reasonably
expected economic life of property.
(d) No Arbitrage. The Borrower shall not take any action or omit to take any action
with respect to the Gross Proceeds of the Funding Loan or of any amounts expected to be used to
pay the principal thereof or the interest thereon which, if taken or omitted, respectively, would
cause the Governmental Lender Note to be classified as an “arbitrage bond” within the meaning
of Section 148 of the Code. Except as provided in the Funding Loan Agreement and this Borrower
Loan Agreement, the Borrower shall not pledge or otherwise encumber, or permit the pledge or
encumbrance of, any money, investment, or investment property as security for payment of any
amounts due under this Borrower Loan Agreement or the Borrower Note relating to the Funding
-55-
Loan, shall not establish any segregated reserve or similar fund for such purpose and shall not
prepay any such amounts in advance of the redemption date of an equal principal amount of the
Funding Loan, unless the Borrower has obtained in each case a Tax Counsel No Adverse Effect
Opinion with respect to such action, a copy of which shall be provided to the Governmental
Lender and the Funding Lender. The Borrower shall not, at any time prior to the final maturity
of the Funding Loan, invest or cause any Gross Proceeds to be invested in any investment (or to
use Gross Proceeds to replace money so invested), if, as a result of such investment the Yield of
all investments acquired with Gross Proceeds (or with money replaced thereby) on or prior to the
date of such investment exceeds the Yield of the Funding Loan to the Maturity Date, except as
permitted by Section 148 of the Code and Regulations thereunder or as provided in the
Regulatory Agreement. The Borrower further covenants and agrees that it will comply with all
applicable requirements of said Section 148 and the rules and Regulations thereunder relating to
the Funding Loan and the interest thereon, including the employment of a Rebate Analyst
acceptable to the Governmental Lender and Funding Lender for the calculation of rebatable
amounts to the United States Treasury Department. The Borrower agrees that it will cause the
Rebate Analyst to calculate the rebatable amounts not later than forty-five days after the fifth
anniversary of the Closing Date and each five years thereafter, and not later than forty-five days
after the final Computation Date, and agrees that the Borrower will pay all costs associated
therewith. The Borrower agrees to provide evidence of the employment of the Rebate Analyst
satisfactory to the Governmental Lender and Funding Lender.
(e) No Federal Guarantee. Except to the extent permitted by Section 149(b) of the
Code and the Regulations and rulings thereunder, the Borrower shall not take or omit to take any
action which would cause the Governmental Lender Note to be “federally guaranteed” within
the meaning of Section 149(b) of the Code and the Regulations and rulings thereunder.
(f) Representations. The Borrower has supplied or caused to be supplied to Tax
Counsel all documents, instruments and written information requested by Tax Counsel, and all
such documents, instruments and written information supplied by or on behalf of the Borrower
at the request of Tax Counsel, which have been reasonably relied upon by Tax Counsel in
rendering its opinion with respect to the exclusion from gross income of the interest on the
Governmental Lender Note for federal income tax purposes, are true and correct in all material
respects, do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact and do not omit to state any
material fact necessary to be stated therein in order to make the information provided therein, in
light of the circumstances under which such information was provided, not misleading, and the
Borrower is not aware of any other pertinent information which Tax Counsel has not requested.
(g) Qualified Residential Rental Project. The Borrower hereby covenants and agrees
that the Project will be operated as a “qualified residential rental project” within the meaning of
Section 142(d) of the Code, on a continuous basis during the longer of the Qualified Project Period
(as defined in the Regulatory Agreement) or any period during which any portion of the
Governmental Lender Note remains outstanding, to the end that the interest on the
Governmental Lender Note shall be excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes.
The Borrower hereby covenants and agrees, continuously during the Qualified Project Period, to
comply with all the provisions of the Regulatory Agreement.
-56-
(h) Information Reporting Requirements. The Borrower will comply with the
information reporting requirements of Section 149(e)(2) of the Code requiring certain information
regarding the Governmental Lender Note to be filed with the Internal Revenue Service within
prescribed time limits.
(i) Funding Loan Not a Hedge Bond. The Borrower covenants and agrees that not
more than 50% of the proceeds of the Funding Loan will be invested in Nonpurpose Investments
having a substantially guaranteed Yield for four years or more within the meaning of Section
149(f)(3)(A)(ii) of the Code, and the Borrower reasonably expects that at least 85% of the
spendable proceeds of the Funding Loan will be used to carry out the governmental purposes of
the Funding Loan within the three-year period beginning on the Closing Date.
(j) Termination of Restrictions. Although the parties hereto recognize that, subject
to the provisions of the Regulatory Agreement, the provisions of this Borrower Loan Agreement
shall terminate in accordance with Section 10.14 hereof, the parties hereto recognize that pursuant
to the Regulatory Agreement, certain requirements, including the requirements incorporated by
reference in this Section, may continue in effect beyond the term hereof.
(k) Public Approval. The Borrower covenants and agrees that the proceeds of the
Funding Loan will not be used by Borrower in a manner that deviates in any substantial degree
from the Project described in the written notice of a public hearing regarding the Funding Loan.
(l) 40/60 Test Election. The Borrower and the Governmental Lender hereby elect to
apply the requirements of Section 142(d)(1)(B) to the Project. The Borrower hereby represents,
covenants and agrees, continuously during the Qualified Project Period, to comply with all the
provisions of the Regulatory Agreement.
(m) Modification of Tax Covenants. Subsequent to the origination of the Funding
Loan and prior to its payment in full (or provision for the payment thereof having been made in
accordance with the provisions of the Funding Loan Agreement), this Section 5.34 hereof may not
be amended, changed, modified, altered or terminated except as permitted herein and by the
Funding Loan Agreement and with the Written Consent of the Governmental Lender and the
Funding Lender. Anything contained in this Borrower Loan Agreement or the Funding Loan
Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the Governmental Lender, the Funding Lender and
the Borrower hereby agree to amend this Borrower Loan Agreement and, if appropriate, the
Funding Loan Agreement and the Regulatory Agreement, to the extent required, in the opinion
of Tax Counsel, in order for interest on the Governmental Lender Note to remain excludable from
gross income for federal income tax purposes. The party requesting such amendment, which
may include the Funding Lender, shall notify the other parties to this Borrower Loan Agreement
of the proposed amendment and send a copy of such requested amendment to Tax Counsel. After
review of such proposed amendment, Tax Counsel shall render to the Funding Lender and the
Governmental Lender an opinion as to the effect of such proposed amendment upon the
includability of interest on the Governmental Lender Note in the gross income of the recipient
thereof for federal income tax purposes. The Borrower shall pay all necessary fees and expenses
incurred with respect to such amendment. The Borrower, the Governmental Lender and, where
applicable, the Funding Lender per written instructions from the Governmental Lender shall
execute, deliver and, if applicable, the Borrower shall file of record, any and all documents and
-57-
instruments, including without limitation, an amendment to the Regulatory Agreement, with a
file-stamped copy to the Funding Lender, necessary to effectuate the intent of this Section 5.34,
and the Borrower and the Governmental Lender hereby appoint the Funding Lender as their true
and lawful attorney-in-fact to execute, deliver and, if applicable, file of record on behalf of the
Borrower or the Governmental Lender, as is applicable, any such document or instrument (in
such form as may be approved by and upon instruction of Tax Counsel) if either the Borrower or
the Governmental Lender defaults in the performance of its obligation under this Section 5.34;
provided, however, that the Funding Lender shall take no action under this Section 5.34 without
first notifying the Borrower or the Governmental Lender, as is applicable, of its intention to take
such action and providing the Borrower or the Governmental Lender, as is applicable, a
reasonable opportunity to comply with the requirements of this Section 5.34.
The Borrower irrevocably authorizes and directs the Funding Lender and any other agent
designated by the Governmental Lender to make payment of such amounts from funds of the
Borrower, if any, held by the Funding Lender, or any agent of the Governmental Lender or the

(a) Arbitrage Rebate. The Borrower agrees to take all steps necessary to compute and
pay any rebatable arbitrage relating to the Funding Loan or the Governmental Lender Note in
accordance with Section 148(f) of the Code including:
(i) Delivery of Documents and Money on Computation Dates. The Borrower
will deliver to the Servicer, within 55 days after each Computation Date:
(A) with a copy to the Governmental Lender, a statement, signed by the
Borrower, stating the Rebate Amount as of such Computation Date;
(B) if such Computation Date is an Installment Computation Date, an
amount that, together with any amount then held for the credit of the Rebate Fund,
is equal to at least 90% of the Rebate Amount as of such Installment Computation
Date, less any “previous rebate payments” made to the United States (as that term
is used in Section 1.148-3(f)(1) of the Regulations), or (2) if such Computation Date
is the final Computation Date, an amount that, together with any amount then
held for the credit of the Rebate Fund, is equal to the Rebate Amount as of such
final Computation Date, less any “previous rebate payments” made to the United
States (as that term is used in Section 1.148-3(f)(1) of the Regulations); and
(C) with a copy to the Governmental Lender, an Internal Revenue
Service Form 8038-T properly signed and completed as of such Computation Date.
(ii) Correction of Underpayments. If the Borrower shall discover or be notified
as of any date that any payment paid to the United States Treasury pursuant to this Section
-58-
5.35 of an amount described in Section 5.35(a)(i)(A) or (B) above shall have failed to satisfy
any requirement of Section 1.148-3 of the Regulations (whether or not such failure shall
be due to any default by the Borrower, the Governmental Lender or the Funding Lender),
the Borrower shall (1) pay to the Servicer (for deposit to the Rebate Fund) and cause the
Servicer to pay to the United States Treasury from the Rebate Fund the underpayment of
the Rebate Amount, together with any penalty and/or interest due, as specified in Section
1.148-3(h) of the Regulations, within 175 days after any discovery or notice and (2) deliver
to the Servicer an Internal Revenue Service Form 8038-T completed as of such date. If such
underpayment of the Rebate Amount, together with any penalty and/or interest due, is
not paid to the United States Treasury in the amount and manner and by the time specified
in the Regulations, the Borrower shall take such steps as are necessary to prevent the
Governmental Lender Note from becoming an arbitrage bond within the meaning of
Section 148 of the Code.
(iii) Records. The Borrower shall retain all of its accounting records relating to
the funds established under this Borrower Loan Agreement and all calculations made in
preparing the statements described in this Section 5.35 for at least six years after the later
of the final maturity of the Governmental Lender Note or the date the Funding Loan is
retired in full.
(iv) Costs. The Borrower agrees to pay all of the fees and expenses of a
nationally recognized Tax Counsel, the Rebate Analyst a certified public accountant and
any other necessary consultant employed by the Borrower or the Funding Lender in
connection with computing the Rebate Amount.
(v) No Diversion of Rebatable Arbitrage. The Borrower will not indirectly pay
any amount otherwise payable to the federal government pursuant to the foregoing
requirements to any person other than the federal government by entering into any
investment arrangement with respect to the Gross Proceeds of the Funding Loan which is
not purchased at Fair Market Value or includes terms that the Borrower would not have
included if the Funding Loan were not subject to Section 148(f) of the Code.
(vi) Modification of Requirements. If at any time during the term of this
Borrower Loan Agreement, the Governmental Lender, the Funding Lender or the
Borrower desires to take any action which would otherwise be prohibited by the terms of
this Section 5.35, such Person shall be permitted to take such action if it shall first obtain
and provide to the other Persons named herein a Tax Counsel No Adverse Effect Opinion
(as defined in the Funding Loan Agreement) with respect to such action.
(b) Rebate Fund. The Servicer shall establish and hold a separate fund designated as
the “Rebate Fund.”
(i) The Servicer shall deposit or transfer to the credit of the Rebate Fund each
amount delivered to the Servicer by the Borrower for deposit thereto and each amount
directed by the Borrower to be transferred thereto.
-59-
(ii) Within 15 days after each receipt or transfer of funds to the Rebate Fund, the
Servicer shall withdraw from the Rebate Fund and pay to the United States of America
the entire balance of the Rebate Fund.
(iii) All payments to the United States of America pursuant to this Section 5.35(b)
shall be made by the Servicer for the account and in the name of the Governmental Lender
and shall be paid through the United States Mail (return receipt requested or overnight
delivery), addressed to the appropriate Internal Revenue Service Center and accompanied
by the appropriate Internal Revenue Service forms (such forms to be provided to the
Funding Lender by the Borrower or the Rebate Analyst as set forth in this Section 5.35(b)).
(iv) The Borrower shall preserve all statements, forms and explanations received
delivered pursuant this Section 5.35(b) and all records of transactions in the Rebate Fund
until six years after the retirement of the Funding Loan.
(v) Moneys and securities held in the Rebate Fund shall not be deemed funds of
the Funding Lender or of the Governmental Lender and are not pledged or otherwise
subject to any security interest in favor of the Funding Lender to secure the Funding Loan
or any other obligations.
(vi) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Borrower Loan Agreement,
no payment shall be made to the United States if the Borrower shall furnish to the
Governmental Lender and the Funding Lender an opinion of Tax Counsel to the effect
that such payment is not required under Section 148(d) and (f) of the Code in order to
maintain the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of interest on
the Governmental Lender Note. In such event, the Borrower shall be entitled to withdraw
funds from the Rebate Fund to the extent the Borrower shall provide a Tax Counsel No
Adverse Effect Opinion to the Governmental Lender and the Funding Lender with respect
to such withdrawal.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the computations and payments of rebate
amounts referred to in this Section 5.35(b) need not be made to the extent that neither the
Governmental Lender nor the Borrower will thereby fail to comply with any requirements
of Section 148(f) of the Code based on a Tax Counsel No Adverse Effect Opinion, a copy
of which shall be provided to the Funding Lender and the Governmental Lender.
Section 5.36. Covenants under Funding Loan Agreement. The Borrower will fully and
faithfully perform all the duties and obligations which the Governmental Lender has covenanted
and agreed in the Funding Loan Agreement to cause the Borrower to perform and any duties and
obligations which the Borrower is required in the Funding Loan Agreement to perform. The

nature cannot be delegated or assigned.

Event of Default described in paragraph (e), (f) or (i) of Section 8.1 ) and at any time and from
time to time thereafter, as long as such Event of Default continues to exist, in addition to any other
rights or remedies available to the Governmental Lender pursuant to the Borrower Loan
Documents or at law or in equity, the Funding Lender may, take such action without notice or
demand, as the Funding Lender deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against the
Borrower and in and to the Project, including declaring the Borrower Payment Obligations to be
immediately due and payable (including, without limitation, the principal of, Prepayment
Premium, if any, and interest on and all other amounts due on the Borrower Note to be
immediately due and payable), without notice or demand, and apply such payment of the
Borrower Payment Obligations in any manner and in any order determined by Funding Lender,
in Funding Lender’s sole and absolute discretion; and upon any Event of Default described in
paragraph (e), (f) or (i) of Section 8.1, the Borrower Payment Obligations shall become
immediately due and payable, without notice or demand, and the Borrower hereby expressly
waives any such notice or demand, anything contained in any Borrow er Loan Document to the
contrary notwithstanding. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, enforcement of
remedies hereunder and under the Funding Loan Agreement shall be controlled by the Funding
Lender.
Section 8.2.2 Remedies Cumulative. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, all or
any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to the Funding
Lender against the Borrower under the Borrower Loan Documents or at law or in equity may be
exercised by the Funding Lender, at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of
the Borrower Payment Obligations shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not the
Funding Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the
enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Borrower Loan Documents. Any such
actions taken by the Funding Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued
independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as the
Funding Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of the Funding Lender
permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth in the Borrower Loan Documents. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is
continuing, all Liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to the Funding Lender
shall remain in full force and effect until they have exhausted all of its remedies, the Security
Instrument has been foreclosed, the Project has been sold and/or otherwise realized upon
satisfaction of the Borrower Payment Obligations or the Borrower Payment Obligations has been
-72-
paid in full. To the extent permitted by applicable law, nothing contained in any Borrower Loan
Document shall be construed as requiring the Funding Lender to resort to any portion of the
Project for the satisfaction of any of the Borrower Payment Obligations in preference or priority
to any other portion, and the Funding Lender may seek satisfaction out of the entire Project or
any part thereof, in its absolute discretion.
Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Governmental Lender and the
Funding Lender agree that any cure of any default made or tendered by the Equity Investor shall
be deemed to be a cure by the Borrower and shall be accepted or rejected on the same basis as if
made or tendered by the Borrower.
Section 8.2.3 Delay. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right, power accruing
upon an Event of Default, or the granting of any indulgence or compromise by the Funding
Lender shall impair any such remedy, right or power hereunder or be construed as a waiver
thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as
may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Potential Default or Event of Default shall not be
construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Potential Default or Event of Default or to impair any
remedy, right or power consequent thereon. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Borrower Loan Agreement, the Funding Lender reserves the right to seek a deficiency judgment
or preserve a deficiency claim, in connection with the foreclosure of the Security Instrument to
the extent necessary to foreclose on the Project, the Rents, the funds or any other collateral.
Section 8.2.4 Set Off; Waiver of Set Off. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default,
Funding Lender may, at any time and from time to time, without notice to Borrower or any other
Person (any such notice being expressly waived), set off and appropriate and apply against and
on account of any obligations and liabilities of the Borrower to the Funding Lender arising under
or connected with this Borrower Loan Agreement and the other the Borrower Loan Documents
and the Funding Loan Documents, irrespective of whether or not the Funding Lender shall have
made any demand therefor, and although such obligations and liabilities may be contingent or
unmatured, and the Borrower hereby grants to the Funding Lender, as security for the Borrower
Payment Obligations, a security interest in, any and all deposits (general or special, including but
not limited to Debt evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured, but not
including trust accounts) and any other Debt at any time held or owing by the Funding Lender
to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower.
Section 8.2.5 Assumption of Obligations. In the event that the Funding Lender or its
assignee or designee shall become the legal or beneficial owner of the Project by foreclosure or
deed in lieu of foreclosure, such party shall succeed to the rights and the obligations of the
Borrower under this Borrower Loan Agreement, the Borrower Note, the Regulatory Agreement,
and any other the Borrower Loan Documents and Funding Loan Documents to which the
Borrower is a party. Such assumption shall be effective from and after the effective date of such
acquisition and shall be made with the benefit of the limitations of liability set forth therein and
without any liability for the prior acts of the Borrower.
Section 8.2.6 Accounts Receivable. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Funding
Lender shall have the right, to the extent permitted by law, to impound and take possession of
books, records, notes and other documents evidencing Borrower’s accounts, accounts receivable
-73-
and other claims for payment of money, arising in connection with the Project, and to make direct
collections on such accounts, accounts receivable and claims for the benefit of Funding Lender.
Section 8.2.7 Defaults under Other Documents. Funding Lender shall have the right to
cure any default under any of the Related Documents and the Subordinate Loan Documents, but
shall have no obligation to do so.
Section 8.2.8 Abatement of Disbursements. Notwithstanding any provision to the
contrary herein or any of the other Borrower Loan Documents or the Funding Loan Documents,
Funding Lender’s obligation to make further Disbursements shall abate (i) during the
continuance of any Potential Default, (ii) after any disclosure to Funding Lender of any fact or
circumstance that, absent such disclosure, would cause any representation or warranty of
Borrower to fail to be true and correct in all material respects, unless and until Funding Lender
elects to permit further Disbursements notwithstanding such event or circumstance; and (iii)
upon the occurrence of any Event of Default.
Section 8.2.9 Completion of Improvements. Upon the occurrence of any Event of
Default, Funding Lender shall have the right to cause an independent contractor selected by
Funding Lender to enter into possession of the Project and to perform any and all work and labor
necessary for the completion of the Project substantially in accordance with the Plans and
Specifications, if any, and to perform Borrower’s obligations under this Borrower Loan
Agreement. All sums expended by Funding Lender for such purposes shall be deemed to have
been disbursed to and borrowed by Borrower and shall be secured by the Security Documents.
Section 8.2.10 Right to Directly Enforce. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof to
the contrary, the Funding Lender shall have the right to directly enforce all rights and remedies
hereunder with or without involvement of the Governmental Lender, provided that only the
Governmental Lender may enforce the Unassigned Rights. In the event that any of the provisions
set forth in this Section 8.2.10 are inconsistent with the covenants, terms and conditions of the
Security Instrument, the covenants, terms and conditions of the Security Instrument shall prevail.
Section 8.2.11 Power of Attorney. Effective upon the occurrence of an Event of Default,
and continuing until and unless such Event of Default is cured or waived, Borrower hereby
constitutes and appoints Funding Lender, or an independent contractor selected by Funding
Lender, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution, for the purposes of
completion of the Project and performance of Borrower’s obligations under this Borrower Loan
Agreement in the name of Borrower, and hereby empowers said attorney-in-fact to do any or all
of the following upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default (it being understood
and agreed that said power of attorney shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest
which cannot be revoked until full payment and performance of all obligations under this
Borrower Loan Agreement and the other Borrower Loan Documents and the Funding Loan
Documents):
(a) to use any of the funds of Borrower or General Partner, including any
balance of the Borrower Loan, as applicable, and any funds which may be held by
Funding Lender for Borrower (including all funds in all deposit accounts in which
Borrower has granted to Funding Lender a security interest), for the purpose of effecting
-74-
completion of the rehabilitation of the Improvements, in the manner called for by the
Plans and Specifications;
(b) to make such additions, changes and corrections in the Plans and
Specifications as shall be necessary or desirable to complete the Project in substantially
the manner contemplated by the Plans and Specifications;
(c) to employ any contractors, subcontractors, agents, architects and
inspectors required for said purposes;
(d) to employ attorneys to defend against attempts to interfere with the
exercise of power granted hereby;
(e) to pay, settle or compromise all existing bills and claims which are or may
be liens against the Project, the Improvements or the Project, or may be necessa ry or
desirable for the completion of the rehabilitation of the Improvements, or clearance of
objections to or encumbrances on title;
(f) to execute all applications and certificates in the name of Borrower, which
may be required by any other Construction Contract;
(g) to prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with the
Project and to take such action, require such performance and do any and every other act
as is deemed necessary with respect to the completion of the rehabilitation of the
Improvements, which Borrower might do on its own behalf;
(h) to let new or additional contracts to the extent not prohibited by their
existing contracts;
(i) to employ watchmen and erect security fences to protect the Project from
injury; and
(j) to take such action and require such performance as it deems necessary
under any of the bonds or insurance policies to be furnished hereunder, to make
settlements and compromises with the sureties or insurers thereunder, and in connection
therewith to execute instruments of release and satisfaction.
It is the intention of the parties hereto that upon the occurrence and continuance of an
Event of Default, rights and remedies may be pursued pursuant to the terms of the Borrower
Loan Documents and the Funding Loan Documents. The parties hereto acknowledge that,
among the possible outcomes to the pursuit of such remedies, is the situation where the Funding
Lender assignees or designees become the owner of the Project and assume the obligations
identified above, and the Borrower Note, the Borrower Loan and the other Borrower Loan
Documents and Funding Loan Documents remain outstanding.

ARTICLE IX
SPECIAL PROVISIONS
Section 9.1. Sale of Note and Secondary Market Transaction.
Section 9.1.1 Cooperation. Subject to the restrictions of Section 2.4 of the Funding Loan
Agreement, at the Funding Lender’s or the Servicer’s request (to the extent not already required
to be provided by the Borrower under this Borrower Loan Agreement), the Borrower shall use
reasonable efforts to satisfy the market standards to which the Funding Lender or the Serv icer
customarily adheres or which may be reasonably required in the marketplace or by the Funding
Lender or the Servicer in connection with one or more sales or assignments of all or a portion of
the Governmental Lender Note or participations therein or securitizations of single or multi-class
securities (the “Securities”) secured by or evidencing ownership interests in all or a portion of the
Governmental Lender Note (each such sale, assignment and/or securitization, a “Secondary
Market Transaction”); provided that neither the Borrower nor the Governmental Lender shall
incur any third party or other out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection with a Secondary
Market Transaction, including the costs associated with the delivery of any Provided Information
or any opinion required in connection therewith, and all such costs shall be paid by the Funding
Lender or the Servicer, and shall not materially modify Borrower’s rights or obligations. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower shall, so long as the Borrower Loan is still
outstanding:
(a) (i) provide such financial and other information with respect to the
Borrower Loan, and with respect to the Project, the Borrower, the Manager, the contractor
of the Project or the Borrower Controlling Entity, (ii) provide financial statements,
audited, if available, relating to the Project with customary disclaimers for any forward
looking statements or lack of audit, and (iii), at the expense of the Funding Lender or the
Servicer, perform or permit or cause to be performed or permitted such site inspection,
appraisals, surveys, market studies, environmental reviews and reports (Phase I’s and, if
appropriate, Phase II’s), engineering reports and other due diligence investigations of the
Project, as may be reasonably requested from time to time by the Funding Lender or the
Servicer or the Rating Agencies or as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with
a Secondary Market Transaction or Exchange Act requirements (the items provided to the
Funding Lender or the Servicer pursuant to this paragraph (a) being called the “Provided
Information”), together, if customary, with appropriate verification of and/or consents to
the Provided Information through letters of auditors or opinions of counsel of
independent attorneys acceptable to the Funding Lender or the Servicer and the Rating
Agencies;
(b) make such representations and warranties as of the closing date of any
Secondary Market Transaction with respect to the Project, the Borrower, the Borrower
Loan Documents and the Funding Loan Documents reasonably acceptable to the Funding
Lender or the Servicer, consistent with the facts covered by such representations and
warranties as they exist on the date thereof; and
-76-
(c) execute such amendments to the Borrower Loan Documents and the
Funding Loan Documents to accommodate such Secondary Market Transaction so long
as such amendment does not affect the material economic terms of the Borrower Loan
Documents and the Funding Loan Documents and is not otherwise adverse to the
Borrower in its reasonable discretion.
Section 9.1.2 Use of Information. The Borrower understands that certain of the Provided
Information and the required records may be included in disclosure documents in connection
with a Secondary Market Transaction, including a prospectus or private placement memorandum
(each, a “Secondary Market Disclosure Document”), or provided or made available to investors
or prospective investors in the Securities, the Rating Agencies and service providers or other
parties relating to the Secondary Market Transaction. In the event that the Secondary Market
Disclosure Document is required to be revised, the Borrower shall cooperate, subject to Section
9.1.1(c) hereof, with the Funding Lender and the Servicer in updating the Provided Information
or required records for inclusion or summary in the Secondary Market Disclosure Document or
for other use reasonably required in connection with a Secondary Market Transaction by
providing all current information pertaining to the Borrower and the Project necessary to keep
the Secondary Market Disclosure Document accurate and complete in all material respects with
respect to such matters. The Borrower hereby consents to any and all such disclosures of such
information.
The Borrower and the Funding Lender agree and acknowledge that the Governmental
Lender undertakes no obligation hereunder or in the Funding Loan Agreement to participate in
the preparation of, or to approve, any Secondary Market Disclosure Document.
Section 9.1.3 Borrower Obligations Regarding Secondary Market Disclosure
Documents. In connection with a Secondary Market Disclosure Document, the Borrower shall
provide, or in the case of a Borrower-engaged third party such as the Manager, cause it to provide,
information reasonably requested by the Funding Lender pertaining to the Borrower, the Project
or such third party (and portions of any other sections reasonably requested by the Funding
Lender pertaining to the Borrower, the Project or the third party). The Borrower shall, if
requested by the Funding Lender and the Servicer, certify in writing that the Borrower has
carefully examined those portions of such Secondary Market Disclosure Document, pertaining to
the Borrower, the Project or the Manager, and such portions (and portions of any other sections
reasonably requested and pertaining to the Borrower, the Project or the Manager) do not contain
any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make
the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to make any representations or
warranties regarding any Provided Information obtained from a third party except with respect
to information it provided to such parties. Furthermore, the Borrower hereby indemnifies the
Funding Lender and the Servicer for any Liabilities to which any such parties may become subject
to the extent such Liabilities arise out of or are based upon the use of the Provided Information
in a Secondary Market Disclosure Document.
Section 9.1.4 Borrower Indemnity Regarding Filings. In connection with filings under
the Exchange Act or the Securities Act, the Borrower shall (i) indemnify Funding Lender and the
underwriter group for any securities (the “Underwriter Group”) for any Liabilities to which
-77-
Funding Lender, the Servicer or the Underwriter Group may become subject insofar as the
Liabilities arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state in the Provided
Information of a material fact required to be stated in the Provided Information in order to make
the statements in the Provided Information, in the light of the circumstances under which they
were made not misleading and (ii) reimburse the Funding Lender, the Servicer, the Underwriter
Group and other indemnified parties listed above for any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by the Funding Lender, the Servicer or the Underwriter Group in connection with
defending or investigating the Liabilities; provided that the Borrower shall not provide any
indemnification regarding any Provided Information obtained from unrelated third parties
except with respect to information it provided to such parties.
Section 9.1.5 Indemnification Procedure. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party
under Sections 9.1.3 and 9.1.4 hereof of notice of the commencement of any action for which a
claim for indemnification is to be made against the Borrower, such indemnified party shall notify
the Borrower in writing of such commencement, but the omission to so notify the Borrower will
not relieve the Borrower from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party hereunder
except to the extent that failure to notify causes prejudice to the Borrower. In the event that any
action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the Borrower of the
commencement thereof, the Borrower will be entitled, jointly with any other indemnifying party,
to participate therein and, to the extent that it (or they) may elect by Written Notice delivered to
the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice of commencement, to assume
the defense thereof with counsel selected by the Borrower and reasonably satisfactory to such
indemnified party in its sole discretion. After notice from the Borrower to such indemnified party
under this Section 9.1.5, the Borrower shall not be responsible for any legal or other expenses
subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other
than reasonable costs of investigation. No indemnified party shall settle or compromise any claim
for which the Borrower may be liable hereunder without the prior Written Consent of the
Borrower.
Section 9.1.6 Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in
circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in Section 9.1.4 hereof is for any
reason held to be unenforceable by an indemnified party in respect of any Liabilities (or action in
respect thereof) referred to therein which would otherwise be indemnifiable under Section 9.1.4
hereof, the Borrower shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as
a result of such Liabilities (or action in respect thereof); provided, however, that no Person guilty
of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 10(f) of the Securities Act) shall
be entitled to contribution from any Person not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In
determining the amount of contribution to which the respective parties are entitled, the following
factors shall be considered: (i) the indemnified parties and the Borrower’s relative knowledge
and access to information concerning the matter with respect to which the claim was asserted; (ii)
the opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or omission; and (iii) any other equitable
considerations appropriate in the circumstances. The parties hereto hereby agree that it may not
be equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita
allocation.

Section 10.2. Brokers and Financial Advisors. The Borrower hereby represents that it
has dealt with no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders
in connection with the Borrower Loan, other than those disclosed to the Funding Lender and
whose fees shall be paid by the Borrower pursuant to separate agreements. The Borrower and
the Funding Lender shall indemnify and hold the other harmless from and against any and all
claims, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind in any way relating to or arising from a claim
by any Person that such Person acted on behalf of the indemnifying party in connection with the
transactions contemplated herein. The provisions of this Section 10.2 shall survive the expiration
and termination of this Borrower Loan Agreement and the repayment of the Borrower Payment
Obligations.
Section 10.3. Survival. This Borrower Loan Agreement and all covenants, agreements,
representations and warranties made herein and in the certificates delivered pursuant hereto
shall survive the making by the Governmental Lender of the Borrower Loan and the execution
and delivery to the Governmental Lender of the Borrower Note and the assignment of the
Borrower Note to the Funding Lender, and shall continue in full force and effect so long as all or
any of the Borrower Payment Obligations is unpaid. All the Borrower’s covenants and
agreements in this Borrower Loan Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the respective legal
representatives, successors and assigns of the Governmental Lender, the Funding Lender and the
Servicer.
Section 10.4. Preferences. The Governmental Lender shall have the continuing and
exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply any and all payments by the Borrower to any
portion of the Borrower Payment Obligations. To the extent the Borrower makes a payment to
the Governmental Lender or the Servicer, or the Governmental Lender or the Servicer receives
proceeds of any collateral, which is in whole or part subsequently invalidated, declared to be
fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other
party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to
the extent of such payment or proceeds received, the Borrower Payment Obligations or part
thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such
payment or proceeds had not been received by the Governmental Lender or the Servicer.
Section 10.5. Waiver of Notice. The Borrower shall not be entitled to any notices of any
nature whatsoever from the Funding Lender or the Servicer except with respect to matters for
which this Borrower Loan Agreement or any other the Borrower Loan Document specifically and
expressly provides for the giving of notice by the Funding Lender or the Servicer, as the case may
be, to the Borrower and except with respect to matters for which the Borrower is not, pursuant to
applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of notice. The Borrower hereby
expressly waives the right to receive any notice from the Funding Lender or the Servicer, as the
case may be, with respect to any matter for which no Borrower Loan Document specifically and
expressly provides for the giving of notice by the Funding Lender or the Servicer to the Borrower.
Section 10.6. Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses. The Borrower hereby waives the
right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding
brought against it by the Funding Lender or the Servicer with respect to a Borrower Loan
Payment. Any assignee of Funding Lender’s interest in and to the Borrower Loan Documents or
the Funding Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or
-81-
defenses that are unrelated to the Borrower Loan Documents or the Funding Loan Documents
which the Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor of such documents, and no such
unrelated offset, counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by the Borrower in any
action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon such documents, and any such right to
interpose or assert any such unrelated offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or
proceeding is hereby expressly waived by the Borrower.
Section 10.7. Publicity. The Funding Lender and the Servicer (and any Affiliates of either
party) shall have the right to issue press releases, advertisements and other promotional materials
describing the Funding Lender’s or the Servicer’s participation in the making of the Borrower
Loan or the Borrower Loan’s inclusion in any Secondary Market Transaction effectuated by the
Funding Lender or the Servicer or one of its or their Affiliates. All news releases, publicity or
advertising by the Borrower or its Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general
public, which refers to the Borrower Loan Documents or the Funding Loan Documents, the
Borrower Loan, the Funding Lender or the Servicer in a Secondary Market Transaction, shall be
subject to the prior Written Consent of the Funding Lender or the Servicer, as applicable.
Section 10.8. Rehabilitation of Documents. The parties hereto acknowledge that they
were represented by counsel in connection with the negotiation and drafting of the Borrower
Loan Documents and the Funding Loan Documents and that the Borrower Loan Documents and
the Funding Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning
against the party that drafted them.
Section 10.9. No Third Party Beneficiaries. The Borrower Loan Documents and the
Funding Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of the Governmental Lender, the Funding
Lender, the Servicer and the Borrower and, with respect to Sections 9.1.3 and 9.1.4 hereof, the
Underwriter Group, and nothing contained in any Borrower Loan Document shall be deemed to
confer upon anyone other than the Governmental Lender, the Funding Lender, the Servicer, and
the Borrower any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the
obligations contained therein.
Section 10.10. Assignment. The Borrower Loan, the Security Instrument, the Borrower
Loan Documents and the Funding Loan Documents and all Funding Lender’s rights, title,
obligations and interests therein may be assigned by the Funding Lender at any time in its sole
discretion, whether by operation of law (pursuant to a merger or other successor in interest) or
otherwise, subject in any event to the provisions of Section 2.4 of the Funding Loan Agreement.
Upon such assignment, all references to Funding Lender in this Borrower Loan Agreement and
in any Borrower Loan Document shall be deemed to refer to such assignee or successor in interest
and such assignee or successor in interest shall thereafter stand in the place of the Funding
Lender. The Borrower shall accord full recognition to any such assignment, and all rights and
remedies of Funding Lender in connection with the interest so assigned shall be as fully
enforceable by such assignee as they were by Funding Lender before such assignment. In
connection with any proposed assignment, Funding Lender may disclose to the proposed
assignee any information that the Borrower has delivered, or caused to be delivered, to Funding
Lender with reference to the Borrower, General Partner, Guarantor or any Affiliate, or the Project,
including information that the Borrower is required to deliver to Funding Lender pursuant to this
Borrower Loan Agreement, provided that such proposed assignee agrees to treat such
-82-
information as confidential. `The Borrower may not assign its rights, interests or obligations
under this Borrower Loan Agreement or under any of the Borrower Loan Documents or Funding
Loan Documents, or the Borrower’s interest in any moneys to be disbursed or advanced
hereunder, except only as may be expressly permitted hereby.
Section 10.11. [Reserved].
Section 10.12. Governmental Lender, Funding Lender and Servicer Not in Control; No
Partnership. None of the covenants or other provisions contained in this Borrower Loan
Agreement shall, or shall be deemed to, give the Governmental Lender, the Funding Lender or
the Servicer the right or power to exercise control over the affairs or management of the Borrower,
the power of the Governmental Lender, the Funding Lender and the Servicer being limited to the
rights to exercise the remedies referred to in the Borrower Loan Documents and the Funding
Loan Documents. The relationship between the Borrower and the Governmental Lender, the
Funding Lender and the Servicer is, and at all times shall remain, solely that of debtor and
creditor. No covenant or provision of the Borrower Loan Documents or the Funding Loan
Documents is intended, nor shall it be deemed or construed, to create a partnership, joint venture,
agency or common interest in profits or income between the Borrower and the Governmental
Lender, the Funding Lender or the Servicer or to create an equity in the Project in the
Governmental Lender, the Funding Lender or the Servicer. Neither the Governmental Lender,
the Funding Lender nor the Servicer undertakes or assumes any responsibility or duty to the

expressly provided in the Borrower Loan Documents or the Funding Loan Documents; and
notwithstanding any other provision of the Borrower Loan Documents and the Funding Loan

intention to create any partnership, joint venture, agency or common interest in profits or income
between the Governmental Lender, the Funding Lender, the Servicer and the Borrower, or to
create an equity in the Project in the Governmental Lender, the Funding Lender or the Servicer,
or any sharing of liabilities, losses, costs or expenses.
Section 10.13. Release. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that it is executing this
Borrower Loan Agreement and each of the Borrower Loan Documents and the Funding Loan
Documents to which it is a party as its own voluntary act free from duress and undue influence.
Section 10.14. Term of Borrower Loan Agreement. This Borrower Loan Agreement shall
be in full force and effect until all payment obligations of the Borrower hereunder have been paid
in full and the Borrower Loan and the Funding Loan have been retired or the payment thereof
has been provided for; except that on and after payment in full of the Borrower Note, this
-83-
Borrower Loan Agreement shall be terminated, without further action by the parties hereto;
provided, however, that the obligations of the Borrower under Sections 5.11, 5.14, 5.15, 9.1.3, 9.1.4,
9.1.5, 9.1.6 and 10.15 hereof, as well as under Section 5.7 of the Construction Funding Agreement,
shall survive the termination of this Borrower Loan Agreement.
Section 10.15. Reimbursement of Expenses. If, upon or after the occurrence of any Event
of Default or Potential Default, the Governmental Lender, the Funding Lender or the Servicer
shall employ attorneys or incur other expenses for the enforcement of performance or observance
of any obligation or agreement on the part of the Borrower contained herein, the Borrower will
on demand therefor reimburse the Governmental Lender, the Funding Lender and the Servicer
for fees of such attorneys and such other expenses so incurred.
The Borrower’s obligation to pay the amounts required to be paid under this Section 10.15
shall be subordinate to its obligations to make payments under the Borrower Note.
Section 10.16. Permitted Contests. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in this Borrower Loan Agreement, Borrower shall have the right to contest or object in good faith
to any claim, demand, levy or assessment (other than in respect of Debt or Contractual
Obligations of Borrower under any Borrower Loan Document or Related Document) by
appropriate legal proceedings that are not prejudicial to Funding Lender’s rights, but this shall
not be deemed or construed as in any way relieving, modifying or providing any extension of
time with respect to Borrower’s covenant to pay and comply with any such claim, demand, levy
or assessment, unless Borrower shall have given prior Written Notice to the Funding Lender of
Borrower’s intent to so contest or object thereto, and unless (i) Borrower has, in the Funding
Lender’s judgment, a reasonable basis for such contest, (ii) Borrower pays when due any portion
of the claim, demand, levy or assessment to which Borrower does not object, (iii) Borrower
demonstrates to Funding Lender’s satisfaction that such legal proceedings shall conclusively
operate to prevent enforcement prior to final determination of such proceedings, (iv) Borrower
furnishes such bond, surety, undertaking or other security in connection therewith as required
by law, or as requested by and satisfactory to Funding Lender, to stay such proceeding, which
bond, surety, undertaking or other security shall be issued by a bonding company, insurer or
surety company reasonably satisfactory to Funding Lender and shall be sufficient to cause the
claim, demand, levy or assessment to be insured against by the Title Company or removed as a
lien against the Project, (v) Borrower at all times prosecutes the contest with due diligence, and
(vi) Borrower pays, promptly following a determination of the amount of such claim, demand,
levy or assessment due and owing by Borrower, the amount so determined to be due and owing
by Borrower. In the event that Borrower does not make, promptly following a determination of
the amount of such claim, demand, levy or assessment due and owing by Borrower, any payment
required to be made pursuant to clause (vi) of the preceding sentence, an Event of Default shall
have occurred, and Funding Lender may draw or realize upon any bond or other security
delivered to Funding Lender in connection with the contest by Borrower, in order to make such
payment.
Section 10.17. Funding Lender Approval of Instruments and Parties. All proceedings
taken in accordance with transactions provided for herein, and all surveys, appraisals and
documents required or contemplated by this Borrower Loan Agreement and the persons
responsible for the execution and preparation thereof, shall be satisfactory to and subject to
-84-
approval by Funding Lender. Funding Lender’s approval of any matter in connection with the
Project shall be for the sole purpose of protecting the security and rights of Funding Lender. No
such approval shall result in a waiver of any default of Borrower. In no event shall Funding
Lender’s approval be a representation of any kind with regard to the matter being approved.
Section 10.18. Funding Lender Determination of Facts. Funding Lender shall at all times
be free to establish independently, to its reasonable satisfaction, the existence or nonexistence of
any fact or facts, the existence or nonexistence of which is a condition of this Borrower Loan
Agreement.
Section 10.19. Calendar Months. With respect to any payment or obligation that is due
or required to be performed within a specified number of Calendar Months after a specified date,
such payment or obligation shall become due on the day in the last of such specified number of
Calendar Months that corresponds numerically to the date so specified; provided, however, that
with respect to any obligation as to which such specified date is the 29th, 30th or 31st day of any
Calendar Month: if the Calendar Month in which such payment or obligation would otherwise
become due does not have a numerically corresponding date, such obligation shall become due
on the first day of the next succeeding Calendar Month.
Section 10.20. Determinations by Lender. Except to the extent expressly set forth in this
Borrower Loan Agreement to the contrary, in any instance where the consent or approval of the
Governmental Lender and the Funding Lender may be given or is required, or where any
determination, judgment or decision is to be rendered by the Governmental Lender and the
Funding Lender under this Borrower Loan Agreement, the granting, withholding or denial of
such consent or approval and the rendering of such determination, judgment or decision shall be
made or exercised by the Governmental Lender and the Funding Lender, as applicable (or its
designated representative) at its sole and exclusive option and in its sole and absolute discretion.
Section 10.21. Governing Law. This Borrower Loan Agreement shall be governed by
and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State, without giving effect to the choice of law
principles of the State that would require the application of the laws of a jurisdiction other than
the State.
Section 10.22. Consent to Jurisdiction and Venue. Borrower agrees that any controversy
arising under or in relation to this Borrower Loan Agreement shall be litigated exclusively in the
State. The state and federal courts and authorities with jurisdiction in the State shall have

Loan Agreement. Borrower irrevocably consents to service, jurisdiction, and venue of such courts
for any such litigation and waives any other venue to which it might be entitled by virtue of
domicile, habitual residence or otherwise. However, nothing herein is intended to limit
Beneficiary Parties’ right to bring any suit, action or proceeding relating to matters arising under
this Borrower Loan Agreement against Borrower or any of Borrower’s assets in any court of any
other jurisdiction.
Section 10.23. Successors and Assigns. This Borrower Loan Agreement shall be binding
upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, legal
representatives, successors, successors-in-interest and assigns, as appropriate. The terms used to
-85-
designate any of the parties herein shall be deemed to include the heirs, legal representatives,
successors, successors-in-interest and assigns, as appropriate, of such parties. References to a
“person” or “persons” shall be deemed to include individuals and entities.
Section 10.24. Severability. The invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any provision
of this Borrower Loan Agreement shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of any
other provision, and all other provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
Section 10.25. Entire Agreement; Amendment and Waiver. This Borrower Loan
Agreement contains the complete and entire understanding of the parties with respect to the
matters covered. This Borrower Loan Agreement may not be amended, modified or changed,
nor shall any waiver of any provision hereof be effective, except by a written instrument signed
by the party against whom enforcement of the waiver, amendment, change, or modification is
sought, and then only to the extent set forth in that instrument. No specific waiver of any of the
terms of this Borrower Loan Agreement shall be considered as a general waiver. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, no Disbursement shall constitute a waiver of any conditions to
the Governmental Lender’s or the Funding Lender’s obligation to make further Disbursements
nor, in the event Borrower is unable to satisfy any such conditions, shall any such waiver have
the effect of precluding the Governmental Lender or the Funding Lender from thereafter
declaring such inability to constitute a Potential Default or Event of Default under this Borrower
Loan Agreement.
Section 10.26. Counterparts. This Borrower Loan Agreement may be executed in
multiple counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original document and all of which
together shall constitute one agreement.

the Funding Lender may appoint a servicer to collect payments, escrows and deposits, to give
and to receive notices under the Borrower Note, this Borrower Loan Agreement or the other
Borrower Loan Documents, and to otherwise service the Borrower Loan and (b) unless Borrower
receives Written Notice from the Governmental Lender or the Funding Lender to the contrary,
any action or right which shall or may be taken or exercised by the Governmental Lender or the
Funding Lender may be taken or exercised by such servicer with the same force and effect.
Section 10.29. Beneficiary Parties as Third Party Beneficiary. Each of the Beneficiary
Parties shall be a third party beneficiary of this Borrower Loan Agreement for all purposes.
Section 10.30. Waiver of Trial by Jury. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED
UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF BORROWER AND THE BENEFICIARY PARTIES (A)
COVENANTS AND AGREES NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY
ISSUE ARISING OUT OF THIS BORROWER LOAN AGREEMENT OR THE RELATIONSHIP
BETWEEN THE PARTIES THAT IS TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY A JURY AND (B) WAIVES ANY
RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO SUCH ISSUE TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY
-86-
SUCH RIGHT EXISTS NOW OR IN THE FUTURE. THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY
JURY IS SEPARATELY GIVEN BY EACH PARTY, KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WITH
THE BENEFIT OF COMPETENT LEGAL COUNSEL.
IF FOR ANY REASON THIS WAIVER IS DETERMINED TO BE UNENFORCEABLE,
ALL DISPUTES WILL BE RESOLVED BY JUDICIAL REFERENCE PURSUANT TO THE
PROCEDURES SET FORTH IN THE SECURITY INSTRUMENT.
Section 10.31. Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to this Borrower
Loan Agreement.
Section 10.32. [Reserved].

ARTICLE XI
LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY
Section 11.1. Limitation on Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein,
the liability of the Borrower hereunder and under the other Borrower Loan Documents and the
Funding Loan Documents shall be limited to the extent set forth in the Borrower Note.
Section 11.2. Limitation on Liability of Governmental Lender. The Governmental
Lender shall not be obligated to pay the principal (or prepayment price) of or interest on the
Funding Loan, except from moneys and assets received by the Funding Lender on behalf of the
Governmental Lender pursuant to this Borrower Loan Agreement. Neither the faith and credit
nor the taxing power of the State, or any political subdivision thereof, nor the faith and credit of
the Governmental Lender is pledged to the payment of the principal (or prepayment price) of or
interest on the Funding Loan. The Governmental Lender shall not be liable for any costs,
expenses, losses, damages, claims or actions, of any conceivable kind on any conceivable theory,
under or by reason of or in connection with this Borrower Loan Agreement or the Funding Loan
Agreement, except only to the extent amounts are received for the payment thereof from the
Borrower under this Borrower Loan Agreement.
The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the Governmental Lender’s sole source of
moneys to repay the Funding Loan will be provided by the payments made by the Borrower
pursuant to this Borrower Loan Agreement, together with investment income on certain funds
and accounts held by the Funding Lender under the Funding Loan Agreement, and hereby agrees
that if the payments to be made hereunder shall ever prove insufficient to pay all principal (or
prepayment price) of and interest on the Funding Loan as the same shall become due (whether
by maturity, redemption, acceleration or otherwise), then upon notice from the Funding Lender
or the Servicer, the Borrower shall pay such amounts as are required from time to time to prevent
any deficiency or default in the payment of such principal (or prepayment price) of or interest on
the Funding Loan, including, but not limited to, any deficiency caused by acts, omissions,
nonfeasance or malfeasance on the part of the Funding Lender, the Borrower, the Governmental
Lender or any third party, subject to any right of reimbursement from the Funding Lender, the
Governmental Lender or any such third party, as the case may be, therefor.
Section 11.3. Waiver of Personal Liability. No member of the Board of Supervisors,
officer, agent or employee of the Governmental Lender shall be individually or personally liable
for the payment of any principal (or prepayment price) of or interest on the Funding Loan or any
other sum hereunder or be subject to any personal liability or accountability by reason of the
execution and delivery of this Borrower Loan Agreement; but nothing herein contained shall
relieve any such member of the Board of Supervisors, director, officer, agent or employee from
the performance of any official duty provided by law or by this Borrower Loan Agreement.
-88-
Section 11.4. Limitation on Liability of Governmental Lender’s or Funding Lender’s
Commissioners, Officers, Employees, Etc.
(a) Borrower assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of the Governmental Lender
and the Funding Lender, provided, however, this assumption is not intended to, and shall not,
preclude the Borrower from pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the
Governmental Lender and the Funding Lender at law or under any other agreement. None of
Governmental Lender and the Funding Lender, nor the other Beneficiary Parties or their
respective Supervisors, officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable or responsible for
(i) for any acts or omissions of the Governmental Lender and the Funding Lender; or (ii) the
validity, sufficiency or genuineness of any documents, or endorsements, even if such documents
should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged. In
furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Governmental Lender and the Funding
Lender may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for
further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, unless acceptance
in light of such notice or information constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct on the
part of the Funding Lender, or willful misconduct of the Governmental Lender.
(b) None of the Governmental Lender, the Funding Lender, the other Beneficiary
Parties or any of their respective Supervisors, officers, directors, employees or agents shall be
liable to any contractor, subcontractor, supplier, laborer, architect, engineer or any other party for
services performed or materials supplied in connection with the Project. The Governmental
Lender and the Funding Lender shall not be liable for any debts or claims accruing in favor of
any such parties against the Borrower or others or against the Project. Borrower is not and shall
not be an agent of the Governmental Lender and the Funding Lender for any purpose. Neither
the Governmental Lender nor the Funding Lender is a joint venture partner with Borrower in any
manner whatsoever. Prior to default by Borrower under this Borrower Loan Agreement and the
exercise of remedies granted herein, the Governmental Lender and the Funding Lender shall not
be deemed to be in privity of contract with any contractor or provider of services to the Project,
nor shall any payment of funds directly to a contractor, subcontractor or provider of services be
deemed to create any third party beneficiary status or recognition of same by the Governmental
Lender and the Funding Lender. Approvals granted by the Governmental Lender and the
Funding Lender for any matters covered under this Borrower Loan Agreement shall be narrowly
construed to cover only the parties and facts identified in any written approval or, if not in
writing, such approvals shall be solely for the benefit of Borrower.
(c) Any obligation or liability whatsoever of the Governmental Lender and the
Funding Lender that may arise at any time under this Borrower Loan Agreement or any other
Borrower Loan Document shall be satisfied, if at all, out of the Funding Lender’s assets only. No
such obligation or liability shall be personally binding upon, nor shall resort for the enforcement
thereof be had to, the Project or any of the Governmental Lender’s or the Funding Lender’s
shareholders (if any), Supervisors, directors, officers, employees or agents, regardless of whether
such obligation or liability is in the nature of contract, tort or otherwise.
Section 11.5. Delivery of Reports, Etc. The delivery of reports, information and
documents to the Governmental Lender and the Funding Lender as provided herein is for
informational purposes only and the Governmental Lender’s and the Funding Lender’s receipt
-89-
of such shall not constitute constructive knowledge of any information contained therein or
determinable from information contained therein. The Governmental Lender and the Funding
Lender shall have no duties or responsibilities except those that are specifically set forth herein,
and no other duties or obligations shall be implied in this Borrower Loan Agreement against the
Governmental Lender and the Funding Lender.

of the Project or payments received by such Affiliated Party due to early completion of
the rehabilitation of the Project (or any portion thereof); (b) the costs are paid with respect

the Governmental Lender or the Funding Lender on the Closing Date are true and correct.
(b) The Borrower (and any person related to it within the meaning of Section

(e) The proceeds of the loan to the Borrower under the Borrower Loan Agreement
will be used to pay costs of the acquisition and rehabilitation of the Project and related
costs. The commencement of the acquisition and rehabilitation by the Borrower of the
Project occurred after the date which was 60 days prior to the Inducement Date. The
Borrower has incurred a substantial binding obligation to expend proceeds of the
Borrower Loan pursuant to which the Borrower is obligated to expend at least five
percent (5%) of the maximum principal amount of the Borrower Loan.
(f) The Borrower will proceed with due diligence to complete the acquisition and
rehabilitation of the Project and the full expenditure of the proceeds of the Borrower Loan.
The Borrower reasonably expects to expend the full $__________ authorized principal
amount of the Borrower Loan for Project Costs by December 1, 2016.
(g) The Borrower’s reasonable expectations respecting the total expenditure of the
proceeds of the Borrower Loan have been accurately set forth in a certificate of the
Borrower delivered to the Governmental Lender on the Closing Date. At all times, the
aggregate disbursements of the proceeds of the Borrower Loan will have been applied to
pay or to reimburse the Borrower for the payment of Qualified Project Costs in an amount
equal to ninety-five percent (95%) or more of such disbursements, and less than twenty-
five percent (25%) of such disbursements shall have been used to pay for the acquisition
of land or an interest therein.
(h) The Borrower will not take or omit to take, as is applicable, any action if such
action or omission would in any way cause the proceeds from the Borrower Loan to be
applied in a manner contrary to the requirements of the Borrower Loan Agreement, this
Regulatory Agreement, the Act or the Code.
(i) On or as soon as practicable after the Completion Date of the Project, the
Borrower will submit to the Governmental Lender (with a copy to the Funding Lender) a
duly executed and completed Completion Certificate.
(j) The Borrower acknowledges that the Governmental Lender may appoint an
Administrator other than the Governmental Lender to administer this Regulatory
Agreement and to monitor performance by the Borrower of the terms, provisions and
requirements hereof. In such event, the Borrower shall comply with any reasonable
request by the Governmental Lender or the Administrator to deliver to any such
Administrator, in addition to or instead of the Governmental Lender, any reports, notices
or other documents required to be delivered pursuant hereto, and to make the Project and
the books and records with respect thereto available for inspection by the Administrator
as an agent of the Governmental Lender.
(k) The Borrower agrees to expend towards the rehabilitation of the Project (such
expenditures to constitute “rehabilitation expenditures” as defined in Section 147(d) of
the Code), within two (2) years of the Closing Date, an amount at least equal to fifteen
percent (15%) of the proceeds of the Borrower Loan used to acquire the buildings (and
equipment) comprising the Project.
-9-
(l) Money on deposit in any fund or account in connection with the Borrower Loan
or the Governmental Lender Note, whether or not such money was derived from other
sources, shall not be used by or under the direction of the Borrower, in a manner which
would cause the Governmental Lender Note to be an “arbitrage bond” within the
meaning of Section 148 of the Code, and the Borrower specifically agrees that the
investment of money in any such fund shall be restricted as may be necessary to prevent
the Governmental Lender Note from being an “arbitrage bond” under the Code.
(m) All of the proceeds of the Funding Loan and earnings from the investment of
such proceeds will be used to pay costs of the Project; and no more than two percent (2%)
of the proceeds of the Funding Loan will be used to pay Costs of Funding.
(n) No portion of the proceeds of the Governmental Lender Note shall be used to
provide any airplane, skybox or other private luxury box, health club facility, facility
primarily used for gambling, or store the principal business of which is the sale of
alcoholic beverages for consumption off premises. No portion of the proceeds of the
Governmental Lender Note shall be used for an office unless the office is located on the
premises of the facilities constituting the Project and unless not more than a de minimis
amount of the functions to be performed at such office is not related to the day-to-day
operations of the Project.
(o) The Borrower hereby incorporates herein, as if set forth in full herein, each of
the representations, covenants and warranties of the Borrower contained in the Tax
Certificate.
(p) The Borrower shall comply with all applicable requirements of Section 65863.10
of the California Government Code, including the requirements for providing notices in
Sections (b), (c), (d) and (e) thereof, and with all applicable requirements of Section
65863.11 of the California Government Code.
(q) The Borrower acknowledges, represents and warrants that it understands the
nature and structure of the transactions contemplated by this Regulatory Agreement; that
it is familiar with the provisions of all of the documents and instruments relating to the
Governmental Lender Note and the Borrower Loan Documents to which it is a party or
of which it is a beneficiary; that it understands the financial and legal risks inherent in
such transactions; and that it has not relied on the Governmental Lender for any guidance
or expertise in analyzing the financial or other consequences of such financing
transactions or otherwise relied on the Governmental Lender in any manner except to
issue the Governmental Lender Note in order to provide funds to assist the Borrower in
acquiring and constructing the Project.
(r) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.35 of the Borrower Loan
Agreement, and in addition thereto, the Borrower agrees to obtain a written report from
an independent firm with experience in calculating excess investment earnings for
purposes of Section 148(f) of the Code, not less than once on or about each five year
anniversary of the Closing Date and within thirty (30) days of the date the Governmental
Lender Note have been paid in full, determining that either (i) no excess investment
-10-
earnings subject to rebate to the federal government under Section 148(f) of the Code have
arisen with respect to the Governmental Lender Note in the prior five-year period (or,
with respect to the final such report following the repayment of the Governmental Lender
Note, have arisen since the last five-year report); or (ii) excess investment earnings have
so arisen during the prior five-year period (or, with respect to the final such report
following the repayment of the Governmental Lender Note, have arisen since the last five-
year report), and specifying the amount thereof that needs to be rebated to the federal
government and the date by which such amount needs to be so rebated. The Borrower
shall provide a copy of each report prepared in accordance with the preceding sentence
to the Governmental Lender, each time within one week of its receipt of the same from
the independent firm that prepared the respective report.
Section 3. Qualified Residential Rental Project. The Borrower hereby acknowledges and
agrees that the Project is to be owned, managed and operated as a “qualified residential rental
project” (within the meaning of Section 142(d) of the Code) for a term equal to the Qualified
Project Period. To that end, and for the term of this Regulatory Agreement, the Borrower hereby
represents, covenants, warrants and agrees as follows:
(a) The Project will be acquired, rehabilitated and operated for the purpose of
providing multifamily residential rental property for seniors. The Borrower will own,
manage and operate the Project as a project to provide multifamily residential rental
property for seniors comprised of a building or structure or several interrelated buildings
or structures, together with any functionally related and subordinate facilities, and no
other facilities, in accordance with Section 142(d) of the Code, Section 1.103-8(b) of the
Regulations and the provisions of the Act, and in accordance with such requirements as
may be imposed thereby on the Project from time to time.
(b) All of the dwelling units in the Project are and will be similarly constructed
units, and each dwelling unit in the Project contains complete separate and distinct
facilities for living, sleeping, eating, cooking and sanitation for a single person or a
household, including a sleeping area, bathing and sanitation facilities and cooking
facilities equipped with a cooking range, refrigerator and sink.
(c) None of the dwelling units in the Project will at any time be utilized on a
transient basis and the Borrower will not rent any of the units for a period of less than
thirty (30) consecutive days, and none of the dwelling units in the Project will at any time
be leased or rented for use as a hotel, motel, dormitory, fraternity house, sorority house,
rooming house, nursing home, hospital, sanitarium, rest home or trailer court or park.
(d) No part of the Project will at any time during the Qualified Project Period be
owned by a cooperative housing corporation, nor shall the Borrower take any steps in
connection with a conversion to such ownership or use, and the Borrower will not take
any steps in connection with a conversion of the Project to condominium ownership
during the Qualified Project Period (except that the Borrower may obtain final map
approval and the Final Subdivision Public Report from the California Department of Real
Estate and may file a condominium plan with the City of Oakley).
-11-
(e) All of the dwelling units in the Project will be available for rental during the
Qualified Project Period on a continuous basis to members of the general public, on a first-
come first-served basis, and the Borrower will not give preference to any particular class
or group in renting the dwelling units in the Project, except (i) not more than one unit may
be set aside for resident manager or other administrative use, (ii) to the extent th at
dwelling units are required to be leased or rented to Low Income Tenants hereunder, and
(iii) to the extent units in the Project are required to be leased to seniors or otherwise
pursuant to the documents evidencing and otherwise related to the Subordinate Debt.
(f) The Project site consists of a parcel or parcels that are contiguous except for the
interposition of a road, street or stream, and all of the facilities of the Project comprise a
single geographically and functionally integrated project for residential rental property,
as evidenced by the ownership, management, accounting and operation of the Project.
(g) The Borrower shall not discriminate on the basis of race, creed, color, sex,
source of income (e.g. AFDC, SSI), physical disability, age (except as may be required
under any of the documents described in Section 3(e)(iii)), national origin or marital status
in the rental, lease, use or occupancy of the Project or in connection with the employment
or application for employment of persons for the operation and management of the
Project.
(h) No dwelling unit in the Project shall be occupied by the Borrower.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Project contains five or more dwelling units, this
subsection shall not be construed to prohibit occupancy of dwelling units by one or more
resident managers or maintenance personnel any of whom may be the Borrower;
provided that the number of such managers or maintenance personnel is not
unreasonable given industry standards in the area for the number of dwelling units in the
Project.
(i) The Borrower will not sell dwelling units within the Project.
(j) In accordance with Section 147(b) of the Code, the average maturity of the
Governmental Lender Note does not exceed 120% of the average reasonably expected
remaining economic life of the facilities being financed by the Governmental Lender Note.
(k) Should involuntary noncompliance with the provisions of Section 1.103-8(b) of
the Regulations be caused by fire, seizure, requisition, foreclosure, transfer of title by deed
in lieu of foreclosure, change in a federal law or an action of a federal agency after the
Closing Date which prevents the Governmental Lender from enforcing the requirements
of the applicable Regulations, or condemnation or similar event, the Borrower covenants
that, within a “reasonable period” determined in accordance with the applicable
Regulations, it will either prepay the Borrower Loan or, if permitted under the provisions
of the Borrower Loan Agreement, apply any proceeds received as a result of any of the
preceding events to reconstruct the Project to meet the requirements of Section 142(d) of
the Code and the applicable Regulations.
-12-
The Governmental Lender hereby elects to have the Project meet the requirements of
Section 142(d)(1)(B) of the Code.
Section 4. Low Income Tenants; Reporting Requirements. Pursuant to the requirements
of the Code, the Borrower hereby represents, warrants and covenants as follows:
(a) During the Qualified Project Period, not less than forty percent (40%) of the
units in the Project will be occupied by, or held vacant and available for occupancy by,
Low Income Tenants. For the purposes of this paragraph (a), a vacant unit which was
most recently occupied by a Low Income Tenant is treated as rented and occupied by a
Low Income Tenant until reoccupied, other than for a temporary period of not more than
31 days, at which time the character of such unit shall be redetermined.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4(a), the Borrower shall
not be in default under such requirements so long as (i) the Borrower uses its best efforts
to comply with such requirements as soon as practicable following the Closing Date, and
(ii) any unit in the Project which becomes available for rental following the Closing Date
is rented to a Low Income Tenant as necessary to satisfy the requirements of Section 4(a).
In no event, however, shall the Borrower fail to comply with the foregoing provisions of
this Section 4(a) of this Regulatory Agreement by December 1, 2016.
(b) No tenant qualifying as a Low Income Tenant shall be denied continued
occupancy of a unit in the Project because, after admission, such tenant’s Adjusted Income
increases to exceed the qualifying limit for Low Income Tenants. However, should a Low
Income Tenant’s Adjusted Income, as of the most recent determination thereof, exceed
one hundred forty percent (140%) of the applicable income limit for a Low Income Tenant
of the same household size, the next available unit of comparable or smaller size in the
same building (within the meaning of Section 42 of the Code) must be rented to (or held
vacant and available for immediate occupancy by) a Low Income Tenant. Until such next
available unit is rented to a Low Income Tenant, the former Low Income Tenant who has
ceased to qualify as such shall be deemed to continue to be a Low Income Tenant for
purposes of the Low Income Unit requirements of Section 4(a) hereof (but shall not be so
deemed to continue to be a Low Income Tenant upon the rental of an available unit of
comparable or smaller size to a tenant who is not a Low Income Tenant).
(c) For the Qualified Project Period, the Borrower will obtain, complete, and
maintain on file Verification of Income certifications for each Low Income Tenant,
including (i) a Verification of Income dated immediately prior to the initial occupancy of
such Low Income Tenant in the Project, and (ii) thereafter, an annual Verification of
Income with respect to each Low Income Tenant within thirty days before or after the
anniversary of such tenant’s initial occupancy of a unit in the Project. In lieu of obtaining
an annual Verification of Income, the Borrower may, with respect to any particular
twelve-month period ending December 1 of each year, deliver to the Administrator no
later than fifteen (15) days after such date, a certification that as of the respective December
1, no unit in the Project was occupied within the preceding twelve (12) months by a new
resident whose income exceeded the limit applicable to Low Income Tenants upon
admission to the Project. The Administrator may at any time and in its sole and absolute
-13-
discretion notify the Borrower in writing that it will no longer accept certifications of the
Borrower made pursuant to the preceding sentence and that the Borrower will thereafter
be required to obtain annual Verifications of Income for tenants.
The Borrower also will provide such additional information as may be required in
the future by the State of California, by the Governmental Lender, by CDLAC and by the
Code, as the same may be amended from time to time, or in such other form and manner
as may be required by applicable rules, rulings, policies, procedures, Regulations or other
official statements now or hereafter promulgated, proposed or made by the Department
of the Treasury or the Internal Revenue Service with respect to Tax-Exempt obligations.
Upon request of the Administrator or the Governmental Lender, copies of Verification of
Income for Low Income Tenants commencing or continuing occupation of a Low Income
Unit shall be submitted to the Administrator or the Governmental Lender, as requested.
The Borrower shall make a good faith effort to verify that the income information
provided by an applicant in a Verification of Income is accurate by taking one or more of
the following steps as a part of the verification process: (1) obtain a pay stub for the most
recent pay period, (2) obtain an income tax return for the most recent tax year, (3) obtain
a credit report or conduct a similar type credit search, (4) obtain an income verification
from the applicant’s current employer, (5) obtain an income verification from the Social
Security Administration and/or the California Department of Social Services if the
applicant receives assistance from either of such agencies, or (6) if the applicant is
unemployed and does not have an income tax return, obtain another form of independent
verification reasonably acceptable to the Governmental Lender.
(d) The Borrower will maintain complete and accurate records pertaining to the
Low Income Units and will permit any duly authorized representative of the
Governmental Lender, the Administrator, the Funding Lender, the Department of the
Treasury or the Internal Revenue Service to inspect the books and records of the Borrower
pertaining to the Project, including those records pertaining to the occupancy of the Low
Income Units.
(e) The Borrower will prepare and submit quarterly, on or before each April 15 (for
the quarterly period ending March 30), July 15 (for the quarterly period ending June 30),
October 15 (for the quarterly period ending September 30) and January 15 (for the
quarterly period ending December 31) during the Qualified Project Period rent rolls and
other information required by the FOCUS Program. The Borrower will also prepare and
submit quarterly, on or before each April 15 (for the quarterly period ending March 30),
July 15 (for the quarterly period ending June 30), October 15 (for the quarterly period
ending September 30) and January 15 (for the quarterly period ending December 31)
during the Qualified Project Period to the Administrator (with a copy to the Funding
Lender), a Certificate of Continuing Program Compliance executed by the Borrower
stating (i) the percentage of the aggregate of the dwelling units of the Project which were
occupied or deemed occupied, pursuant to subsection (a) hereof, by Low Income Tenants
during the preceding applicable quarterly period; and (ii) that either (A) no unremedied
default has occurred under this Regulatory Agreement, or (B) a default has occurred, in
-14-
which event the certificate shall describe the nature of the default in detail and set forth
the measures being taken by the Borrower to remedy such default.
During the Qualified Project Period, the Borrower shall submit a completed
Internal Revenue Code Form 8703 or such other annual certification as required by the
Code with respect to the Project, to the Secretary of the Treasury on or before March 31 of
each year (or such other date as may be required by the Code).
(f) For the Qualified Project Period, all tenant leases or rental agreements shall be
subordinate to this Regulatory Agreement. All leases pertaining to Low Income Units
shall contain clauses, among others, wherein each tenant who occupies a Low Income
Unit: (i) certifies the accuracy of the statements made in the Verification of Income; (ii)
agrees that the household income and other eligibility requirements shall be deemed
substantial and material obligations of the tenancy of such tenant, that such tenant will
comply promptly with all requests for information with respect thereto from the
Borrower, the Funding Lender or the Administrator on behalf of the Governmental
Lender, and that the failure to provide accurate information in the Verification of Income
or refusal to comply with a request for information with respect thereto shall be deemed
a violation of a substantial obligation of the tenancy of such tenant; (iii) acknowledges that
the Borrower has relied on the Verification of Income and supporting information
supplied by the Low Income Tenant in determining qualification for occupancy of the
Low Income Unit and that any material misstatement in such certification (whether or not
intentional) will be cause for immediate termination of such lease or rental agreement;
and (iv) agrees that the tenant’s income is subject to annual certification in accordance
with Section 4(c) hereof and that if upon any such certification such tenant’s Adjusted
Income exceeds the applicable Low Income Tenant income limit under Section 4(b), such
tenant may cease to qualify as a Low Income Tenant, and such tenant’s rent is subject to
increase.
Section 4A. Additional Requirements of the Governmental Lender. In addition to the
requirements set forth elsewhere in this Regulatory Agreement and to the extent not prohibited
by the requirements set forth in Sections 4, 5 and 6 hereof, the Borrower hereby agrees to comply
with each of the requirements of the Governmental Lender set forth in this Section 4A, as follows:
(a) All tenant lists, applications and waiting lists relating to the Project shall at all
times be kept separate and identifiable from any other business of the Borrower and shall
be maintained as required by the Governmental Lender, in a reasonable condition for
proper audit and subject to examination upon reasonable notice (which need not be in
excess of three Business Days, as defined in the Funding Loan Agreement) and during
business hours by representatives of the Governmental Lender.
(b) The Borrower shall not discriminate on the basis of race, creed, color, religion,
sex, sexual orientation, marital status, national origin, source of income (e.g. AFDC and
SSI), ancestry or handicap in the lease, use or occupancy of the Project (except as required
to comply with Section 3(e)(iii)), or in connection with the employment or application for
employment of persons for the rehabilitation, operation, or management of the Project.
-15-
(c) The Borrower shall not permit occupancy in any unit in the Project by more
than (i) two persons per bedroom in the unit, plus (ii) one person; and the Borrower shall
at all times offer for rent the largest unit then available for the applicable household size
(being one bedroom units for 2-3 person households, and two bedroom units for 4-5
person households).
(d) The Borrower shall pay directly to the Governmental Lender (i) on the Closing
Date the Governmental Lender Issuance Fee and the Governmental Lender Annual Fee
for the period from the Closing Date to but not including December 1, 2016, and (ii) on
each December 1, on and after December 1, 2016, the Governmental Lender Annual Fee;
without in either case any requirement for notice or billing of the amount due. In addition,
the Borrower shall pay to the Governmental Lender promptly following receipt of an
invoice that reasonably identifies the relevant expenses and the amounts thereof, any out
of pocket expenses incurred by the Governmental Lender in connection with the
Governmental Lender Note, the Funding Loan Agreement, this Regulatory Agreement or
the Borrower Loan Agreement, including but not limited to any costs related to the
FOCUS Program.
(e) The rent limits set forth in Sections 6(b) and 6(f) shall apply to all Low Income
Units. In addition, the rental payments paid by Low Income Tenants for the Low Income
Units shall not exceed Affordable Rents.
(f) The Borrower will accept as tenants, on the same basis as all other prospective
tenants, persons who are recipients of federal certificates for rent subsidies pursuant to
the existing program under Section 8 of the Act, or its successor. The Borrower shall not
apply selection criteria to Section 8 certificate or voucher holders that is more burdensome
than criteria applied to all other prospective tenants, nor shall the Borrower apply or
permit the application of management policies or lease provisions with respect to the
Project which have the effect of precluding occupancy of units by such prospective
tenants.
(g) The Borrower shall submit to the Governmental Lender: (i) rent rolls and other
information required by the FOCUS Program on a quarterly basis as specified in Section
4(e), and (ii) within fifteen (15) days after receipt of a written request, any other
information or completed forms requested by the Governmental Lender in order to
comply with reporting requirements of the Internal Revenue Service or the State.
(h) The Borrower shall pay to the Governmental Lender, to the extent not paid
pursuant to the Borrower Loan Agreement or the Funding Loan Agreement, all of the
amounts required by Sections 2.5 and 5.14 of (and otherwise under) the Borrower Loan
Agreement and shall indemnify the Governmental Lender as provided in Section 9 hereof
and Section 5.15 of the Borrower Loan Agreement.
(i) The Governmental Lender may, at its option and at its expense, at any time
appoint an Administrator to administer this Agreement or any provision hereof and to
monitor performance by the Borrower of all or of any of the terms, provisions and
requirements hereof. Following any such appointment, the Borrower shall comply with
-16-
any request by the Governmental Lender to deliver to such Administrator, in addition to
or instead of the Governmental Lender, any reports, notices or other documents required
to be delivered pursuant hereto, and to make the Project and the books and records with
respect thereto available for inspection by such administrator as an agent of the
Governmental Lender.
(j) The Borrower shall submit its written management policies with respect to the
Project, if any, to the Governmental Lender for its review, and shall amend such policies
in any way necessary to insure that such policies comply with the provisions of this
Regulatory Agreement and the requirements of the existing program under Section 8 of
the Housing Law, or its successors. The Borrower shall not promulgate management
policies which conflict with the provisions of the addendum to the form of lease for the
Project prepared by the Housing Authority of Contra Costa County, and shall attach such
addendum to leases for tenants which are holders of Section 8 certificates.
(k) The Borrower shall screen and select tenants for desirability and
creditworthiness at its discretion; provided, however, that the Borrower shall consider a
prospective tenant’s rent history for at least the one year period prior to application as
evidence of the tenant’s ability to pay the applicable rent.
(l) At least six months prior to the expiration of the Qualified Project Period the
Borrower shall provide by first-class mail, postage prepaid, a notice to all tenants in the
Low Income Units containing (i) the anticipated date of the expiration of the Qualified
Project Period, (ii) any anticipated rent increase upon the expiration of the Qualified
Project Period, (iii) a statement that a copy of such notice will be sent to the Governmental
Lender, and (iv) a statement that a public hearing may be held by the Governmental
Lender on the issue and that the tenant will receive notice of the hearing at least fifteen
(15) days in advance of any such hearing. The Borrower shall also file a copy of the above-
described notice with the Community Development Bond Program Manager of the
Department of Conservation and Development of the Governmental Lender.
(m) Notwithstanding Section 1461 of the Civil Code, the provisions of this Section
shall run with land and may be enforced either in law or in equity by any resident, local
agency, entity, or by any other person adversely affected by the Borrower’s failure to
comply with the provisions of this Section.
(n) The Borrower shall not participate in any refunding of the Governmental
Lender Note or the Funding Loan by means of the issuance of bonds or other obligations
by any governmental body other than the Governmental Lender.
(o) Each of the requirements of Sections 3, 4, 6 and 7 hereof is hereby incorporated
as a specific requirement of the Governmental Lender, whether or not required by
California or federal law.
(p) The requirements of Section 6 and this Section 4A shall be in effect for the
Qualified Project Period.
-17-
Any of the foregoing requirements of the Governmental Lender contained in this Section
4A may be expressly waived by the Governmental Lender in writing, but (i) no waiver by the
Governmental Lender of any requirement of this Section 4A shall, or shall be deemed to, extend
to or affect any other provision of this Regulatory Agreement except to the extent the
Governmental Lender has received an opinion of Tax Counsel that any such provision is not
required by the Act and may be waived without adversely affecting the exclusion from gross
income of interest on the Governmental Lender Note for federal income tax purposes; and (ii)
any requirement of this Section 4A shall be void and of no force and effect if the Governmental
Lender and the Borrower receive a written opinion of Tax Counsel to the effect that compliance
with any such requirement would cause interest on the Governmental Lender Note to cease to be
Tax-Exempt or to the effect that compliance with such requirement would be in conflict with the
Act or any other State or federal law.
Section 5. Tax-Exempt Status of the Governmental Lender Note. The Borrower and the
Governmental Lender, as applicable, each hereby represents, warrants and agrees as follows:
(a) The Borrower and the Governmental Lender will not knowingly take or permit,
or omit to take or cause to be taken, as is appropriate, any action that would adversely
affect the Tax-Exempt nature of the interest on the Governmental Lender Note and, if
either of them should take or permit, or omit to take or cause to be taken, any such action,
it will take all lawful actions necessary to rescind or correct such actions or omissions
promptly upon obtaining knowledge thereof.
(b) The Borrower and the Governmental Lender will file of record such documents
and take such other steps as are necessary, in the written opinion of Tax Counsel filed
with the Borrower, the Governmental Lender and the Funding Lender, in order to insure
that the requirements and restrictions of this Regulatory Agreement will be binding upon
all owners of the Project, including, but not limited to, the execution and recordation of
this Regulatory Agreement in the real property records of the County.
Section 6. Additional Requirements of the Act. In addition to the requirements set forth
elsewhere in this Regulatory Agreement, so long as the Governmental Lender Note is
outstanding the Borrower hereby agrees to comply with each of the requirements of the Act
applicable to the Project. Without limiting the foregoing, the Borrower agrees as follows:
(a) As provided in Section 52080(a)(1)(B) of the Act, forty percent (40%) or more of
the aggregate of the completed residential units in the Project shall be occupied by, or held
vacant and available for occupancy by, lower income tenants within the meaning of
Section 52080(a)(1) of the Act (it being acknowledged that units required to be set aside
for Low Income Tenants pursuant to Section 4(a) may be counted for purposes of
satisfying the requirements of this Section 6(a) if the related Low Income Tenants
otherwise satisfy the requirements of this Section 6(a)).
(b) The rental payments paid by the occupants of the units described in paragraph
(a) of this Section (excluding any supplemental rental assistance from the state, the federal
government, or any other public agency to those occupants or on behalf of those units)
shall not exceed thirty percent of sixty percent (60%) of area median income.
-18-
(c) The Borrower shall accept as tenants, on the same basis as all other prospective
tenants, Low Income Tenants who are recipients of federal certificates or vouchers for rent
subsidies pursuant to the existing program under Section 8 of the Housing Law. The
selection criteria applied to certificate holders under Section 8 of the Housing Law shall
not be more burdensome than the criteria applied to all other prospective tenants.
(d) The Borrower shall ensure that units occupied as required by paragraph (a) of
this Section are of comparable quality and offer a range of sizes and number of bedrooms
comparable to those units which are available to other tenants.
(e) As provided in Section 52080(e) of the Act, the Project may be syndicated after
prior written approval of the Governmental Lender. The Governmental Lender shall grant
that approval only after it determines that the terms and conditions of the syndication (1)
shall not reduce or limit any of the requirements of the Act or regulations adopted or
documents executed pursuant to the Act, (2) shall not cause any of the requirements in
this Agreement to be subordinated to the syndication agreement, or (3) shall not result in
the provision of fewer assisted units, or the reduction of any benefits or services, than
were in existence prior to the syndication agreement. The Governmental Lender hereby
acknowledges that this Section 6(e) does not apply to the syndication of federal tax credits
for the Project as contemplated by the Borrower’s partnership agreement.
(f) Following the expiration or termination of the Qualified Project Period, except
in the event of foreclosure and redemption of the Governmental Lender Note, deed in lieu
of foreclosure, eminent domain, or action of a federal agency preventing enforcement,
units required to be reserved for occupancy pursuant to Section 6(a) shall remain available
to any eligible household occupying a reserved unit at the date of such expiration or
termination, at a rent not greater than the amount required by Section 6(b), until the
earliest of any of the following occur:
(1) The household’s income exceeds one hundred-forty percent (140%) of
the maximum eligible income specified in Section 6(a).
(2) The household voluntarily moves or is evicted for “good cause.” “Good
cause” for the purposes of this section means the nonpayment of rent or allegation
of facts necessary to prove major, or repeated minor, violations of material
provisions of the occupancy agreement which detrimentally affect the health,
safety, occupancy or quiet enjoyment of other persons or the structure, the fiscal
integrity of the Project, or the purposes or special programs of the Project.
(3) Thirty years after the date of commencement of the Qualified Project
Period.
(4) The Borrower pays the relocation assistance and benefits to tenants as
provided in subdivision (b) of Section 7264 of the Government Code.
-19-
(g) Except in the event of foreclosure and prepayment of the Governmental Lender
Note, deed in lieu of foreclosure, eminent domain, or action of a federal agency preventing
enforcement, during the three years prior to expiration of the Qualified Project Period, the
Borrower shall continue to make available to eligible households reserved units that have
been vacated to the same extent that nonreserved units are made available to noneligible
households.
(h) This Section shall not be construed to require the Governmental Lender to
monitor the Borrower’s compliance with the provisions of paragraph (f), or that the
Governmental Lender shall have any liability whatsoever in the event of the failure by the
Borrower to comply with any of the provisions of this Agreement.
(i) The covenants and conditions of this Regulatory Agreement shall be binding
upon successors in interest of the Borrower.
(j) This Regulatory Agreement shall be recorded in the office of the county recorder
of the County, and shall be recorded in the grantor-grantee index to the names of the
Borrower as grantor and to the name of the Governmental Lender as grantee.
Section 7. CDLAC Requirements. The acquisition, rehabilitation and operation of the
Project and the financing thereof are and shall be in compliance with the conditions set forth in
Exhibit A to the CDLAC Resolution (the “CDLAC Conditions”), as it may be amended, which
conditions are incorporated herein by reference and are made a part hereof; provided, however,
the Governmental Lender shall have no obligation under this Regulatory Agreement to monitor
and enforce the Borrower’s compliance with the CDLAC Conditions. The Borrower shall prepare
and submit to CDLAC (with a copy to the Governmental Lender), at the times required by
CDLAC, a Certificate of Compliance in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B hereto
(or in such other form as CDLAC may require), executed by an authorized representative of the
Borrower.
The Borrower acknowledges that the CDLAC Conditions include the following:
(a) 49 of the units in the Project be restricted for a term of 55 years, 15 of which
units must be rented or held vacant and available for rental for persons or families whose
income is at 50% or below of the Area Median Gross Income, and 34 of which units must
be rented or held vacant and available for rental by persons or families whose income is
at 60% or below of Area Median Gross Income.
(b) A minimum of $1,200,468 of public funds will be expended for the Project.
(c) The Project must meet certain sustainable building standards utilizing certain
landscaping and rehabilitation materials, as more fully provided in paragraph 27 of
Exhibit A to the CDLAC Resolution.
The Borrower will promptly provide any information reasonably requested by the
Governmental Lender in order for the Governmental Lender to comply with any regulations of
-20-
CDLAC applicable to the CDLAC Resolution, the CDLAC Conditions, the Governmental Lender
Note or the Project, including but not limited to Section 5144 of Article 11 of the CDLAC
regulations.
The Borrower will promptly provide any information requested by the Governmental
Lender in order for the Governmental Lender to complete any Annual Applicant Public Benefit
and On-going Compliance Self Certification or otherwise to comply with any regulations of
CDLAC applicable to the CDLAC Resolution, the CDLAC Conditions or the Project, including
but not limited to Section 5144 of Article 11 of the CDLAC regulations.
The requirements of this Section 7 may be waived in writing by CDLAC in its sole and
absolute discretion, without the consent of the Governmental Lender or the Funding Lender.
CDLAC and the Governmental Lender each shall have the right (but not the obligation) to enforce
the CDLAC Conditions and to pursue an action for specific performance or other available
remedy at law or in equity, provided that any such action or remedy shall not materially
adversely affect the interests and rights of the owner of the Governmental Lender Note.
Section 8. Modification of Covenants. The Borrower and the Governmental Lender
hereby agree as follows:
(a) To the extent any amendments to the Act, the CDLAC Conditions, the
Regulations or the Code shall, in the written opinion of Tax Counsel filed with the
Governmental Lender, the Funding Lender and the Borrower, impose requirements upon
the ownership or operation of the Project more restrictive than those imposed by this
Regulatory Agreement, and if such requirements are applicable to the Project, this
Regulatory Agreement shall be deemed to be automatically amended to impose such
additional or more restrictive requirements.
(b) To the extent that the Act, the CDLAC Conditions, the Regulations or the Code,
or any amendments thereto, shall, in the written opinion of Tax Counsel filed with the
Governmental Lender, the Funding Lender and the Borrower, impose requirements upon
the ownership or operation of the Project less restrictive than imposed by this Regulatory
Agreement, this Regulatory Agreement may be amended or modified to provide such less
restrictive requirements, but only by written amendment signed by the Governmental
Lender, in its sole discretion, and the Borrower, and only upon receipt by the
Governmental Lender of the written opinion of Tax Counsel to the effect that such
amendment will not affect the Tax-Exempt status of interest on the Governmental Lender
Note or violate the requirements of the Act, and is otherwise in accordance with Section
22 hereof.
(c) The Borrower and the Governmental Lender shall execute, deliver and, if
applicable, file of record any and all documents and instruments necessary to effectuate
the intent of this Section 8, and each of the Borrower and the Governmental Lender hereby
appoints the Funding Lender as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact to execute, deliver
and, if applicable, file of record on behalf of the Borrower or the Governmental Lender, as
is applicable, any such document or instrument (in such form as may be approved by Tax
Counsel, as evidenced by receipt of the opinion required by paragraph (b) above) if either
-21-
the Borrower or the Governmental Lender defaults in the performance of its obligations
under this subsection (c); provided, however, that unless directed in writing by the
Governmental Lender or the Borrower, the Funding Lender shall take no action under
this subsection (c) without first notifying the Borrower or the Governmental Lender, or
both of them, as is applicable, and without first providing the Borrower or the
Governmental Lender, or both, as is applicable, an opportunity to comply with the
requirements of this Section 8. Nothing in this subsection (c) shall be construed to allow
the Funding Lender to execute an amendment to this Regulatory Agreement on behalf of
the Governmental Lender.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Regulatory Agreement, whenever an opinion
of Tax Counsel is required or requested to be delivered hereunder after the Closing Date, the
Funding Lender, the Governmental Lender and the Borrower shall accept (unless otherwise
directed in writing by the Governmental Lender) an opinion of Tax Counsel in such form and
with such disclaimers as may be required so that such opinion will not be treated as a “covered
opinion” for purposes of the Treasury Department regulations governing practice before the
Internal Revenue Service (Circular 230), 31 CFR Part 10.
Section 9. Indemnification.
(a) To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Borrower agrees to indemnify, hold
harmless and defend the Governmental Lender, the Funding Lender, the Administrator and each
of their respective past, present and future officers, members of the Governmental Lender’s Board
of Supervisors, directors, officials, employees and agents (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”),
against any and all losses, damages, claims, actions, liabilities, costs and expenses of any
conceivable nature, kind or character (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees,
litigation and court costs, amounts paid in settlement and amounts paid to discharge judgments)
to which the Indemnified Parties, or any of them, may become subject under or any statutory law
(including federal or state securities laws) or at common law or otherwise, arising out of or based
upon or in any way relating to:
(i) the Governmental Lender Note, the Funding Loan Agreement, the Funding
Loan, the Borrower Loan Agreement, the Borrower Loan, this Regulatory Agreement or
the execution or amendment hereof or thereof or in connection with transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby, including the issuance, sale or resale of the
Governmental Lender Note or any interest therein;
(ii) any act or omission of the Borrower or any of its agents, contractors, servants,
employees, tenants) or licensees in connection with the Project, the operation of the
Project, or the condition, environmental or otherwise, occupancy, use, possession, conduct
or management of work done in or about, or from the planning, design, acquisition,
installation or rehabilitation of, the Project or any part thereof;
(iii) any lien or charge upon payments by the Borrower to the Governmental
Lender and the Funding Lender hereunder or under the Borrower Loan Agreement, or
any taxes (including, without limitation, all ad valorem taxes and sales taxes),
-22-
assessments, impositions and other charges imposed on the Governmental Lender in
respect of any portion of the Project;
(iv) any violation of Article V of the Borrower Loan Agreement;
(v) the defeasance and/or prepayment, in whole or in part, of any of the
Governmental Lender Note;
(vi) any untrue statement or misleading statement or alleged untrue statement or
alleged misleading statement of a material fact contained in any offering statement or
disclosure or continuing disclosure document for any Governmental Lender Note or any
of the documents relating to the Governmental Lender Note, or any omission or alleged
omission from any offering statement or disclosure or continuing disclosure document
for any of the Governmental Lender Note of any material fact necessary to be stated
therein in order to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading;
(vii) any declaration of taxability of interest on any of the Governmental Lender
Note, or allegations that interest on a Governmental Lender Note is taxable or any
regulatory audit or inquiry regarding whether interest on a Governmental Lender Note
is taxable; or
(viii) the Funding Lender’s administration of the Borrower Loan Documents, or
the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties thereunder or under any of the
Funding Loan Documents;
except (A) in the case of the foregoing indemnification of the Funding Lender or any of its
respective officers, directors, officials, employees and agents, to the extent such damages are
caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of an Indemnified Party; or (B) in the c ase
of the foregoing indemnification of the Governmental Lender or any of its officers, members of
its Board of Supervisors, officials, employees and agents, to the extent, with respect to any such
Indemnified Party, such damages are caused by the willful misconduct of the respective
Indemnified Party seeking indemnification. In the event that any action or proceeding is brought
against any Indemnified Party with respect to which indemnity may be sought hereunder, the
Borrower, upon written notice from the Indemnified Party, shall assume the investigation and
defense thereof, including the employment of counsel selected by the Indemnified Party, and
shall assume the payment of all expenses related thereto, with full power to litigate, compromise
or settle the same in its sole discretion; provided that the Indemnified Party shall have the right
to review and approve or disapprove any such compromise or settlement. Each Indemnified
Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action or proceeding and
participate in the investigation and defense thereof, and the Borrower shall pay the reasonable
fees and expenses of such separate counsel; provided, however, that such Indemnified Party may
only employ separate counsel at the expense of the Borrower if in the judgment of such
Indemnified Party a conflict of interest exists by reason of common representation or if all parties
commonly represented do not agree as to the action (or inaction) of counsel.
-23-
(b) The rights of any persons to indemnity hereunder and rights to payment of fees and
reimbursement of expenses pursuant to Section 4A(a), this Section 9 and Section 20 shall survive
the final payment or defeasance of the Governmental Lender Note and in the case of the Funding
Lender any resignation or removal. The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination
of this Regulatory Agreement.
(c) Nothing contained in this Section 9 shall cause the obligation of the Borrower to pay
principal and interest on the Borrower Loan or amounts owing with respect to the Borrower Note
to be a recourse obligation of the Borrower.
(d) The obligations of the Borrower under this Section are independent of any other
contractual obligation of the Borrower to provide indemnity to the Governmental Lender or
otherwise, and the obligation of the Borrower to provide indemnity hereunder shall not be
interpreted, construed or limited in light of any other separate indemnification obligation of the
Borrower. The Governmental Lender shall be entitled simultaneously to seek indemnity under
this Section and any other provision under which it is entitled to indemnity.
Section 10. Consideration. The Governmental Lender has agreed to issue the
Governmental Lender Note to provide funds to lend to the Borrower to finance the acquisition
and rehabilitation of the Project, all for the purpose, among others, of inducing the Borrower to
acquire, construct and operate the Project. In consideration of the issuance of the Governmental
Lender Note by the Governmental Lender, the Borrower has entered into this Regulatory
Agreement and has agreed to restrict the uses to which the Project can be put on the terms and
conditions set forth herein.
Section 11. Reliance. The Governmental Lender and the Borrower hereby recognize and
agree that the representations and covenants set forth herein may be relied upon by all persons
interested in the legality and validity of the Governmental Lender Note, in the exemption from
State personal income taxation of interest on the Governmental Lender Note and in the Tax-
Exempt status of the interest on the Governmental Lender Note. In performing their duties and
obligations hereunder, the Governmental Lender, the Funding Lender and the Administrator
may rely upon statements and certificates of the Low Income Tenants and upon audits of the
books and records of the Borrower pertaining to the Project. In addition, the Governmental
Lender, the Funding Lender and the Administrator may consult with counsel, and the opinion of
such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken
or suffered by the Governmental Lender, the Funding Lender or the Administrator hereunder in
good faith and in conformity with such opinion. In determining whether any default or lack of
compliance by the Borrower exists under this Regulatory Agreement, the Governmental Lender
shall not be required to conduct any investigation into or review of the operations or records of
the Borrower and may rely solely on any written notice or certificate delivered to the
Governmental Lender or the Funding Lender by the Borrower with respect to the occurrence or
absence of a default unless it knows that the notice or certificate is erroneous or misleading.
Section 12. Sale or Transfer of the Project. For the Qualified Project Period, the Borrower
shall not, except as provided below and in accordance with the Borrower Loan Agreement and
the Security Instrument, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Project, in whole or in part,
-24-
without the prior written consent of the Governmental Lender, which consent shall be given as
promptly as practicable following: (A) the receipt by the Governmental Lender of evidence
acceptable to the Governmental Lender that (1) the Borrower shall not be in default hereunder or
under the Borrower Loan Agreement (which may be evidenced by a certificate of the Borrower)
or the purchaser or assignee undertakes to cure any defaults of the Borrower to the reasonable
satisfaction of the Governmental Lender; (2) the continued operation of the Project shall comply
with the provisions of this Regulatory Agreement; (3) either (a) the purchaser or assignee or its
property manager has at least three years’ experience in the ownership, operation and
management of similar size, rental housing projects, and at least one year’s experience in the
ownership, operation and management of rental housing projects contained below-market-rate
units, without any record of material violations of discrimination restrictions or other state or
federal laws or regulations or local government requirements applicable to such projects, or (b)
the purchaser or assignee agrees to retain a property management firm with the experience and
record described in subclause (a) above, or (c) the transferring Borrower or its management
company will continue to manage the Project for at least one year following such transfer and
during such period will provide training to the transferee and its manager in the responsibilities
relating to the Low Income Units; and (4) the person or entity which is to acquire the Project does
not have pending against it, and does not have a history of, building code violations or significant
and material complaints concerning the maintenance, upkeep, operation, and regulatory
agreement compliance of any of its projects as identified by any local, state or federal regulatory
agencies; (B) the execution by the purchaser or assignee of any document requested by the
Governmental Lender with respect to the assumption of the Borrower’s obligations under this
Regulatory Agreement and the Borrower Loan Agreement, including without limitation an
instrument of assumption hereof, and delivery to the Governmental Lender of an opinion of such
purchaser or assignee’s counsel to the effect that each such document and this Regulatory
Agreement are valid, binding and enforceable obligations of such purchaser or assignee; (C)
receipt by the Governmental Lender of an opinion of Tax Counsel addressed to the Governmental
Lender and the Funding Lender to the effect that any such sale, transfer or other disposition will
not adversely affect the Tax-Exempt status of interest on the Governmental Lender Note; (D)
receipt by the Governmental Lender and Funding Lender of all fees and/or expenses then
currently due and payable to the Governmental Lender and Funding Lender; (E) satisfaction of
such other conditions or matters as are set forth in the Borrower Loan Agreement and the Security
Instrument; and (F) such other conditions are met as the Governmental Lender may reasonably
impose. The Governmental Lender hereby consents to a transfer of the Project by the Borrower
to its general partner or its affiliate, if the Governmental Lender receives the documents listed in
the preceding sentence. It is hereby expressly stipulated and agreed that any sale, transfer or
other disposition of the Project in violation of this Section 12 shall be null, void and without effect,
shall cause a reversion of title to the Borrower, and shall be ineffective to relieve the Borrower of
its obligations under this Regulatory Agreement. Nothing in this Section shall affect any
provision of any other document or instrument between the Borrower and any other party which
requires the Borrower to obtain the prior written consent of such other party in order to sell,
transfer or otherwise dispose of the Project. Upon any sale or other transfer which complies with
this Regulatory Agreement, the Borrower shall be fully and automatically released from its
obligations hereunder to the extent such obligations have been assumed by the transferee of the
Project. Any transfer of the Project to any entity, whether or not affiliated with the Borrower, shall
be subject to the provisions of this Section 12, except that no consent of the Governmental Lender
shall be required in the case of any transfer of the Project to a general partner of the Borrower or
-25-
an affiliate of a general partner of the Borrower if any applicable conditions set forth in the
Borrower Loan Agreement and any conditions set forth in the Security Instrument are satisfied
and, in any event, the Borrower notifies the Governmental Lender in writing of any such transfer.
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 12 to the contrary, neither the consent
of the Governmental Lender nor the delivery of items (A) through (F) of the preceding paragraph
shall be required in the case of (a) the execution, delivery and recordation by Borrower of any
mortgage or deed of trust encumbering all or any part of the Project, or (b) a foreclosure or deed
in lieu of foreclosure by the Funding Lender whereby the Funding Lender or a purchaser at a
foreclosure sale becomes the owner of the Project, and nothing contained in this Section 12 shall
otherwise affect the right of the Funding Lender or a purchaser at a foreclosure sale to foreclose
on the Project or to accept a deed in lieu of foreclosure. The Governmental Lender’s consent
otherwise required by item (A) of the preceding paragraph shall not be required in connection
with any purchase of the Project by a partner of the Borrower as allowed for in the Borrower’s
partnership agreement. In addition, the provisions of this Section 12 shall not apply to (i) the
replacement of the managing general partner of the Borrower by an entity formed by or that is a
subsidiary of the initial managing general partner of the Borrower, (ii) the withdrawal of any
limited partner of the Borrower from its partnership, (iii) any transfer of limited partnership
interest in the Borrower and the admission of a substitute limited partner, (iv) any transfer of
direct or indirect interests in any limited partner of the Borrower, or (v) any transfer of interest s
pursuant to the provisions of the Borrower’s partnership agreement as in effect from time to time,
including but not limited to the removal of a general partner of the Borrower and replacement
thereof by an affiliate of a limited partner of the Borrower pursuant to the Borrower’s partnership
agreement; provided, however, that the Governmental Lender shall receive notice from the
Borrower of any transfer of general partner interests.
For the Qualified Project Period, the Borrower shall not: (1) except pursuant to the
provisions of this Regulatory Agreement, the Borrower Loan Agreement and the Security
Instrument (and upon receipt by the Borrower of an opinion of Tax Counsel that such action will
not adversely affect the Tax-Exempt status of interest on the Governmental Lender Note), or
except upon a sale, transfer or other disposition of the Project in accordance with the terms of this
Regulatory Agreement, subordinate or encumber any of the Project or grant commercial leases
(not including any laundry, cable, management office equipment, resident service (including but
not limited to convenience vending, or satellite television) or similar or related leases) of any part
thereof, or permit the conveyance, transfer or encumbrance of any part of the Project (except for
apartment leases); (2) demolish any part of the Project or substantially subtract from any real or
personal property of the Project, except to the extent that what is removed is replaced with
comparable property; or (3) permit the use of the dwelling accommodations of the Project for any
purpose except rental residences.
Section 13. Term. This Regulatory Agreement shall become effective upon its execution
and delivery, and shall remain in full force and effect for t he period provided herein and shall
terminate as to any provision not otherwise provided with a specific termination date and shall
terminate in its entirety at the end of the Qualified Project Period, it being expressly agreed and
understood that the provisions hereof are intended to survive the retirement of the Governmental
Lender Note and discharge of the Funding Loan Agreement, the Borrower Loan Agreement and
the Security Instrument.
-26-
The terms of this Regulatory Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, this Regulatory
Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect in the event of involuntary
noncompliance with the provisions of this Regulatory Agreement caused by fire, seizure,
requisition, change in a federal law or an action of a federal agency after the Closing Date that
prevents the Governmental Lender and the Funding Lender from enforcing such provisions, or
condemnation, foreclosure, transfer of title by deed in lieu of foreclosure, or a similar event, but
only if, within a reasonable period, either the Governmental Lender Note is fully prepaid and no
further amounts are owing in respect of the Funding Loan or amounts received as a consequence
of such event are used to provide a project which meets the requirements hereof; provided,
however, that the preceding provisions of this sentence shall cease to apply and the restrictions
contained herein shall be reinstated if, at any time subsequent to the termination of such
provisions as the result of the foreclosure or the delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or a
similar event, the Borrower or any related person (within the meaning of Section 1.103-10(e) of
the Regulations) obtains an ownership interest in the Project for federal income tax purposes. The
Borrower hereby agrees that, following any foreclosure, transfer of title by deed in lieu of
foreclosure or similar event, neither the Borrower nor any such related person as described above
will obtain an ownership interest in the Project for federal tax purposes. Upon the termination of
the terms of this Regulatory Agreement, the parties hereto agree to execute, deliver and record
appropriate instruments of release and discharge of the terms hereof; provided, however, that
the execution and delivery of such instruments shall not be necessary or a prerequisite to the
termination of this Regulatory Agreement in accordance with its terms.
Section 14. Covenants to Run With the Land. Notwithstanding Section 1461 of the
California Civil Code, the Borrower hereby subjects the Project to the covenants, reservations and
restrictions set forth in this Regulatory Agreement. The Governmental Lender and the Borrower
hereby declare their express intent that the covenants, reservations and restrictions set forth
herein shall be deemed covenants running with the land and shall pass to and be binding upon
the Borrower’s successors in interest to the Project; provided, however, that on the termination of
this Regulatory Agreement said covenants, reservations and restrictions shall expire. Each and
every contract, deed or other instrument hereafter executed covering or conveying the Project or
any portion thereof shall conclusively be held to have been executed, delivered and accepted
subject to such covenants, reservations and restrictions, regardless of whether such covenants,
reservations and restrictions are set forth in such contract, deed or other instruments.
Section 15. Burden and Benefit. The Governmental Lender and the Borrower hereby
declare their understanding and intent that the burdens of the covenants set forth herein touch
and concern the land in that the Borrower’s legal interest in the Project is rendered less valuable
thereby. The Governmental Lender and the Borrower hereby further declare their understanding
and intent that the benefits of such covenants touch and concern the land by enhancing and
increasing the enjoyment and use of the Project by Low Income Tenants, the intended
beneficiaries of such covenants, reservations and restrictions, and by furthering the public
purposes for which the Governmental Lender Note was issued.
Section 16. Uniformity; Common Plan. The covenants, reservations and restrictions
hereof shall apply uniformly to the entire Project in order to establish and carry out a common
plan for the use of the site on which the Project is located.
-27-
Section 17. Default; Enforcement. If the Borrower defaults in the performance or
observance of any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Borrower set forth in this Regulatory
Agreement, and if such default remains uncured for a period of thirty (30) days after notice
thereof shall have been given by the Governmental Lender or the Funding Lender to the Borrower
(with a copy to the Equity Investor), or for a period of thirty (30) days from the date the Borrower
should, with due diligence, have discovered such default, then the Governmental Lender or the
Funding Lender, acting on its own behalf or on behalf of the Governmental Lender (to the extent
directed in writing by the Governmental Lender, subject to the provisions of the Funding Loan
Agreement), shall declare an “Event of Default” to have occurred hereunder; provided, however,
that if the default is of such a nature that it cannot be corrected within thirty (30) days, such
default shall not constitute an Event of Default hereunder so long as (i) the Borrower institutes
corrective action within said thirty (30) days and diligently pursues such action until the default
is corrected, and (ii) in the opinion of Tax Counsel, the failure to cure said default within thirty
(30) days will not adversely affect the Tax-Exempt status of interest on the Governmental Lender
Note. The Governmental Lender and the Funding Lender shall have the right to enforce the
obligations of the Borrower under this Regulatory Agreement within shorter periods of time than
are otherwise provided herein if necessary in the opinion of Tax Counsel to insure compliance
with the Act or the Code.
Any limited partner of the Borrower (including the Equity Investor) shall have the right
but not the obligation to cure any Event of Default, and the Governmental Lender and the
Funding Lender agree to accept any cure tendered by any such limited partner on behalf of the
Borrower within any cure period specified above.
Following the declaration of an Event of Default hereunder the Governmental Lender, or
the Funding Lender may, at their respective options, take any one or more of the following steps,
in addition to all other remedies provided by law or equity:
(i) by mandamus or other suit, action or proceeding at law or in equity, including
injunctive relief, require the Borrower to perform its obligations and covenants hereunder
or enjoin any acts or things which may be unlawful or in violation of the rights of the
Governmental Lender or the Funding Lender hereunder;
(ii) have access to and inspect, examine and make copies of all of the books and
records of the Borrower pertaining to the Project;
(iii) take such other action at law or in equity as may appear necessary or desirable
to enforce the obligations, covenants and agreements of the Borrower hereunder;
(iv) declare a default under the Borrower Loan Agreement and (subject to any
applicable cure periods set forth in the Borrower Loan Agreement) proceed with any
remedies provided therein; or
(v) order and direct the Borrower in writing to terminate the then Manager of the
Project and to select a replacement Manager reasonably satisfactory to the Governmental
-28-
Lender within 60 days of such written direction, and to notify the Governmental Lender
in writing of the identity of the replacement Manager.
The Borrower hereby agrees that specific enforcement of the Borrower’s agreements
contained herein is the only means by which the Governmental Lender may fully obtain the
benefits of such agreements made by the Borrower herein, and the Borrower therefore agrees to
the imposition of the remedy of specific performance against it in the case of any Event of Default
by the Borrower hereunder.
The Funding Lender shall have the right (but no obligation), in accordance with this
Section and the provisions of the Funding Loan Agreement, without the consent or approval of
the Governmental Lender, to exercise any or all of the rights or remedies of the Governmental
Lender hereunder; provided that prior to taking any such action the Funding Lender shall give
the Governmental Lender written notice of its intended action. After the Funding Loan
Agreement has been discharged, the Governmental Lender may act on its own behalf to declare
an “Event of Default” to have occurred and to take any one or more of the steps specified
hereinabove to the same extent and with the same effect as if taken by the Funding Lender.
All fees, costs and expenses of the Funding Lender and the Governmental Lender incurred
in taking any action pursuant to this Section shall be the sole responsibility of the Borrower.
No breach or default under this Regulatory Agreement shall defeat or render invalid the
Security Instrument or any like encumbrance upon the Project or any portion of either thereof
given in good faith and for value.
Section 18. References to Funding Lender. After the date on which the Funding Loan has
been paid in full, all references to the Funding Lender in this Regulatory Agreement shall be
deemed references to the Governmental Lender.
Section 19. Recording and Filing. (a) The Borrower shall cause this Regulatory Agreement
and all amendments and supplements hereto to be recorded and filed in the real property records
of the County and in such other places as the Governmental Lender or the Funding Lender may
reasonably request. The Borrower shall pay all fees and charges incurred in connection with any
such recording.
(b) The Borrower and the Governmental Lender will file of record such other documents
and take such other steps as are necessary, in the written opinion of Tax Counsel filed with the
Governmental Lender and the Funding Lender, in order to insure that the requirements and
restrictions of this Regulatory Agreement will be binding upon all owners of the Project.
(c) The Borrower hereby covenants to include or reference the requirements and
restrictions contained in this Regulatory Agreement in any documents transferring any interest
in the Project to another person (other than in any document granting a security interest to the
Funding Lender and, provided, however, that no such assignment shall be required in connection
with the transfer of the Project to the Funding Lender by foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure
or comparable conversion of the Borrower Loan) to the end that such transferee has notice of, and
-29-
is bound by, such restrictions, and to obtain the agreement from any transferee to abide by all
requirements and restrictions of this Regulatory Agreement.
Section 20. Payment of Administration Fees. Notwithstanding any prepayment of the
Borrower Loan and notwithstanding a discharge of the Borrower Loan Agreement, throughout
the term of this Regulatory Agreement, the Borrower shall continue to pay to the Governmental
Lender its fees described in Section 4.A.(d) and in the event of default, to the Administrator, the
Governmental Lender and to the Funding Lender reasonable compensation for any services
rendered by any of them hereunder and reimbursement for all expenses reasonably incurred by
any of them in connection therewith.
Section 21. Governing Law. This Regulatory Agreement shall be governed by the laws
of the State.
Section 22. Amendments; Waivers. (a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 8 above,
this Regulatory Agreement may be amended only by a written instrument executed by the parties
hereto or their successors in title, and duly recorded in the real property records of the County,
and only upon receipt by the Governmental Lender of an opinion from Tax Counsel that such
amendment will not adversely affect the Tax-Exempt status of interest on the Governmental
Lender Note and is not contrary to the provisions of the Act.
(b) Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, the Governmental Lender
and the Borrower hereby agree to amend this Regulatory Agreement to the extent required, in
the opinion of Tax Counsel, in order that interest on the Governmental Lender Note remain Tax-
Exempt. The party requesting such amendment shall notify the other party to this Regulatory
Agreement of the proposed amendment, with a copy of such requested amendment to Tax
Counsel and a request that such Tax Counsel render to the Governmental Lender an opinion as
to the effect of such proposed amendment upon the Tax-Exempt status of interest on the
Governmental Lender Note. This provision shall not be subject to any provision of any other
agreement requiring any party hereto to obtain the consent of any other person in order to amend
this Regulatory Agreement.
(c) Any waiver of, or consent to, any condition under this Regulatory Agreement must be
expressly made in writing.
Section 23. Notices. Any notice required to be given hereunder shall be made in writing
and shall be given by personal delivery, overnight delivery, certified or registered mail, postage
prepaid, return receipt requested, or by telecopy, in each case at the respective addresses set forth
below or at such other addresses as may be specified in writing by the parties hereto.

notices, certificates or other communications shall be sent. Notice shall be deemed given on the
date evidenced by the postal or courier receipt or other written evidence of delivery or electronic
transmission.
Section 24. Severability. If any provision of this Regulatory Agreement shall be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining portions hereof
shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
Section 25. Multiple Counterparts. This Regulatory Agreement may be simultaneously
executed in multiple counterparts, all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument, and
each of which shall be deemed to be an original.
Section 26. Third Party Beneficiaries; Enforcement. The Funding Lender, the
Administrator, the Equity Investor and CDLAC are intended to be and shall each be a third party
beneficiary of this Regulatory Agreement. CDLAC shall have the right (but not the obligation)
to enforce the CDLAC Conditions (as defined in Section 7) and to pursue an action for specific
performance or other available remedy at law or in equity in accordance with Section 17 hereof,
provided that any such action or remedy shall not materially adversely affect the interests and

the Act, the requirements of Section 6 may be enforced either in law or in equity by any resident,
local agency, entity, or by any other person adversely affected by the Borrower’s failure to comply
with the requirements of that Section.
-32-
Section 27. The Funding Lender. The Funding Lender shall be entitled, but shall have no
duty, to act with respect to enforcement of the Borrower’s performance hereunder. The Funding
Lender, either on its own behalf or as the agent of and on behalf of the Governmental Lender,
may, in its sole discretion, act hereunder and any act required to be performed by the
Governmental Lender as herein provided shall be deemed taken if such act is performed by the
Funding Lender. In connection with any such performance, all provisions of the Funding Loan
Agreement and the Borrower Loan Agreement relating to the rights, privileges, powers and
protections of the Funding Lender shall apply with equal force and effect to all actions taken (or
omitted to be taken) by the Funding Lender in connection with this Regulatory Agreement.
Neither the Funding Lender nor any of its officers, directors or employees shall be liable for any
action taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder or in connection herewith except for its or
their own negligence or willful misconduct. The Funding Lender may consult with legal counsel
selected by it (the reasonable fees of which counsel shall be paid by the Borrower) and any action
taken or suffered by it reasonably and in good faith in accordance with the opinion of such
counsel shall be full justification and protection to it. The Funding Lender may at all times assume
compliance with this Regulatory Agreement unless otherwise notified in writing by or on behalf
of the Governmental Lender, or unless it has actual knowledge of noncompliance.
After the date the Governmental Lender Note no longer remains outstanding as provided
in the Funding Loan Agreement, the Funding Lender shall have no further rights, duties or
responsibilities under this Regulatory Agreement, and all references to the Funding Lender in
this Regulatory Agreement shall be deemed references to the Governmental Lender.
Section 28. No Interference or Impairment of Loan. Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, (i) the occurrence of an event of default under this Regulatory Agreement shall not,
under any circumstances whatsoever, be deemed or constitute a default under the Borrower Loan
Documents, except as may be otherwise specified in the Borrower Loan Documents, and shall not
impair, defeat or render invalid the lien of the Security Instrument and (ii) neither of the
Governmental Lender nor any other person shall:
(a) initiate or take any action which may have the effect, directly or indirectly, of
impairing the ability of the Borrower to timely pay the principal of, interest on, or other
amounts due and payable under, the Borrower Loan;
(b) interfere with or attempt to interfere with or influence the exercise by the
Funding Lender of any of its rights under the Borrower Loan Agreement, including,
without limitation, the Funding Lender remedial rights under the Borrower Loan
Documents upon the occurrence of an event of default by the Borrower under the
Borrower Loan Agreement; or
(c) upon the occurrence of an event of default under the Borrower Loan
Agreement, take any action to accelerate or otherwise enforce payment or seek other
remedies with respect to the Borrower Loan, it being understood and agreed that the
Governmental Lender may not, without the prior written consent of the Funding Lender,
on account of any default under this Regulatory Agreement, seek, in any manner, to cause
the Borrower Loan to become due and payable, to enforce the Borrower Loan Agreement
or to foreclose on the Security Instrument or cause the Funding Lender to foreclose or take
-33-
any other action under the Borrower Loan Documents, the Funding Loan Documents or
any other documents which action would or could have the effect of achieving any one or
more of the foregoing actions, events or results.
No person other than the Funding Lender shall have the right to declare the principal
balance of the Borrower Loan to be immediately due and payable or to initiate foreclosure or
other like action.
The forgoing prohibitions and limitations shall not in any way limit the rights of the
Governmental Lender to specifically enforce this Regulatory Agreement or to seek injunctive
relief in order to provide for the operation of the Project in accordance with the requirements of
the Code and the Act, and shall not be construed to limit the rights of the Governmental Lender
to enforce its rights against the Borrower under the indemnification provisions of the Regulatory
Agreement provided that the prosecution of a claim for indemnification shall not cause the
Borrower to file a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of or
in respect of the Borrower under any applicable liquidation, insolvency, bankruptcy,
rehabilitation, composition, reorganization, conservation or other similar law in effect now or in
the future.
Notwithstanding the above, the provisions of this Section 28 shall not in any way limit or
alter the Governmental Lender’s authority, power or activities as a governmental regulatory
agency pursuant to applicable laws and regulations relating to the Project or otherwise.
Section 29. Limitation on Borrower Liability. Notwithstanding any other provision or
obligation to the contrary contained in this Regulatory Agreement, and except for the Borrower’s
obligations under Sections 9 and 20 of this Regulatory Agreement (which are not subject to the
provisions and limitations of this Section 29) (i) the liability of the Borrower under this Regulatory
Agreement to any person or entity, including, but not limited to, the Funding Lender or the
Governmental Lender and their successors and assigns, is limited to the Borrower’s interest in
the Project, the revenues therefrom, including the amount held in the funds and accounts created
under the Funding Loan Agreement and the Borrower Loan Documents, or any rights of the
Borrower under any guarantees relating to the Project, and such persons and entities shall look
exclusively thereto, or to such other security as may from time to time be given for the payment
of obligations arising out of this Regulatory Agreement or any other agreement securing the
obligations of the Borrower under this Regulatory Agreement; and (ii) from and after the date of
this Regulatory Agreement, no deficiency or other personal judgment, nor any order or decree of
specific performance (other than pertaining to this Regulatory Agreement, any agreement
pertaining to the Project or any other agreement securing the Borrower’s obligations under this
Regulatory Agreement), shall be rendered against the Borrower, the assets of the Borrower (other
than the Borrower’s interest in the Project, this Regulatory Agreement, amounts held in the funds
and accounts created under the Funding Loan Agreement and the Borrower Loan Documents,
any rights of the Borrower under the Funding Loan Agreement and the Borrower Loan
Documents or any other documents relating to the Governmental Lender Note or any rights of
the Borrower under any guarantees relating to the Project), its partners, successors, transferees or
assigns and each their respective officers, directors, employees, partners, agents, heirs and
personal representatives, as the case may be, in any action or proceeding arising out of this
Regulatory Agreement and the Borrower Loan Agreement or any agreement securing the
-34-
obligations of the Borrower under this Regulatory Agreement, or any judgment, order or decree
rendered pursuant to any such action or proceeding.
Section 30. Limited Liability. All obligations of the Governmental Lender incurred under
this Regulatory Agreement shall be limited obligations, payable solely and only from Funding
Loan proceeds and other amounts derived by the Governmental Lender from the Borrower Loan
or otherwise under the Borrower Loan Agreement.
Section 31. Conflict With Other Affordability Agreements. In the event of any conflict
between the provisions of this Regulatory Agreement and any agreement referenced in Section
3(e)(iii) hereof, the provisions providing for the most affordable units, with the most affordability,
in the Project shall prevail, so long as at all times the requirements of Section 2, 3, 4, 4A, 6 and 7
of this Regulatory Agreement are in any event satisfied. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a breach
or default under any agreement referenced in Section 3(e)(iii) hereof shall not, in itself, constitute
a breach or a default under this Regulatory Agreement.
