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,
-28-
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 Agreement and the Borrower Loan Agreement; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.

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.
- 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.

- If any law now in effect prohibiting the waiver referred to in Section 9.11(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

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 permitted assignee or designee in accordance with Section 2.4 hereof 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 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.

Section 9.15. Remedies upon Unremedied Material Funding Lender Event.

- Modification of Requirements. If at any time during the term of this 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 with respect to such action.
- Rebate Fund. The Servicer shall establish and hold a separate fund designated as the "Rebate Fund." 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.
- 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.
- All payments to the United States of America pursuant to this Section 5.35 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 Servicer by the Borrower or the Rebate Analyst as set forth in this Section 5.35).
- The Borrower shall preserve all statements, forms and explanations received delivered pursuant this Section 5.35 and all records of transactions in the Rebate Fund until six years after the retirement of the Funding Loan.

- 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
-51 -
Counsel No Adverse Effect Opinion to the Governmental Lender and the Funding Lender with respect to such withdrawal.
(h) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the computations and payments of rebate amounts referred to in this Section 5.35 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.

(v) an "Event of Default" or "Default" (as defined in the applicable agreement) shall occur under any of the Subordinate Loan Documents or the Redevelopment Agreement, after the expiration of all applicable notice and cure periods; or
(w) any failure by the Borrower to perform or comply with any of its obligations under this Borrower Loan Agreement (other than those specified in this Section 8.1), as and when required, which continues for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice of such failure by Funding Lender or the Servicer on its behalf to the Borrower; provided, however, if such failure is susceptible of cure but cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30) day period, and the Borrower shall have commenced to cure such failure within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently and expeditiously proceeds to cure the same, such thirty (30) day period shall be extended for an additional period of time as is reasonably necessary for the Borrower in the exercise of due diligence to cure such failure, such additional period not to exceed sixty (60) days. However, no such notice or grace period shall apply to the extent such failure could, in the Funding Lender's judgment, absent immediate exercise by the Funding Lender of a right or remedy under this Borrower Loan Agreement, result in harm to the Funding Lender, impairment of the Borrower Note or this Borrower Loan Agreement or any security given under any other Borrower Loan Document.
Section 8.2. Remedies.
Section 8.2.1 Acceleration. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in paragraph (e), (f) or (i) of Section 8.1) and at any time and
-59-
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 Borrower 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 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 agrees 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
-60-
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 Borrower to Funding Lender arising under or connected with this Borrower Loan Agreement and the other Borrower Loan Documents and the Funding Loan Documents, irrespective of whether or not Funding Lender shall have made any demand therefor, and although such obligations and liabilities may be contingent or unmatured), and Borrower hereby grants to Funding Lender, as security for the 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 Funding Lender to or for the credit or the account of 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 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 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
-61 -
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 and Funding Lender shall not impair Governmental Lender's enforcement of 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):
- 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 completion of the construction or rehabilitation, as the case may be, of the Improvements, in the manner called for by the Plans and Specifications;
- 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;
- to employ any contractors, subcontractors, agents, architects and inspectors required for said purposes;
- to employ attorneys to defend against attempts to interfere with the exercise of power granted hereby;
- 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 necessary or desirable for the completion of the construction or rehabilitation, as the case may be, of the Improvements, or clearance of objections to or encumbrances on title;
- to execute all applications and certificates in the name of Borrower, which may be required by any other construction contract;
-62-
- 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 construction or rehabilitation, as the case may be, ofthe Improvements, which Borrower might do on its own behalf;
- 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.

- 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.

-64-
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, the Governmental 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; 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 9.1.4 Borrower Indemnity Regarding Filings. In connection with filings under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act, the Borrower shall (i) indemnify Funding Lender, the Governmental Lender and the underwriter group for any securities (the "Underwriter Group") and all officials, employees and agents of any of them for any Liabilities to which 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 such 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.

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);
-65-
provided, however, that no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 10(f) ofthe 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.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with regard to each regularly scheduled monthly installment of interest payable pursuant to this Note, such late charge shall not become due and
3
82619738
payable to Lender so long as the Borrower makes such payment prior to the tenth (10th) day of the month in which such payment is due, without consideration for Business Days (for avoidance of doubt, if a Loan Payment Date is January 3 because January 1 and January 2 are not Business Days, the late charge shall not be due and payable lo Lender if the Borrower makes such payment on or prior to January 9; however, if such payment is made on January 10 or thereafter, the late charge shall be due). Any accrued but unpaid late charges shall be added to and become part of the unpaid principal balance of this Note, shall bear interest at the rate or rales specified in this Note, and shall be secured by the Security Instrument and the olher applicable Borrower Loan Documents. Borrower acknowledges that its failure to make timely payments will cause Lender to incur additional expenses in servicing and processing the Loan, and that it is extremely difficult and impractical to determine those additional expenses. Borrower agrees that the late charge payable pursuant to this Section represents a fair and reasonable estimate, taking into account all circumstances existing on the date of this Note, of the additional expenses Lender will incur by reason of such late payment, and such late charge shall be deemed liquidated damages and not additional interest or a penalty. The late charge is payable in addition to, and not in lieu of, any interest payable at the Default Rate pursuant to Section 8. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other Loan Document, if a Servicer has been appointed by Lender, any late charges payable hereunder shall not be remitted to Lender and shall instead be paid directly to Servicer, who shall apply such late charges in accordance with the terms of the applicable servicing agreement. Any action regarding the collection of a Late Charge will be without prejudice to any other rights, and shall not act as a waiver of any other rights that the Servicer or the Lender may have as provided herein, in the other Borrower Loan Documents, or at law or in equity.
8. Default Rate. So long as (a) any monthly installment under this Note remains past due, or (b) any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, interest under this Note shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance from the earlier of the due date of the first unpaid monthly installment or the occurrence of such other Event of Default, as applicable, at a rate per annum (the "Default Rate") equal to the Maximum Rate compounded monthly (computed on the basis of actual days elapsed in a 365- (or 366-) day year, as applicable). If the unpaid principal balance and all accrued interest are not paid in full on the Maturity Date, the unpaid principal balance and all accrued interest shall bear interest from the Maturity Date at the Default Rate. Borrower also acknowledges that its failure to make timely payments will cause Lender to incur additional expenses in servicing and processing the Loan, that, during the time that any monthly installment under this Note is delinquent, Lender will incur additional costs and expenses arising from its loss of the use of the money due and from the adverse impact on Lender's ability to meet its other obligations and to take advantage of other investment opportunities, and that it is extremely difficult and impractical to determine those additional costs and expenses. Borrower also acknowledges that, during the time that any monthly installment under this Note is delinquent or any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender's risk of nonpayment of this Note will be materially increased and Lender is entitled to be compensated for such increased risk. Borrower agrees that the increase in the rate of interest payable under this Note to the Default Rate as provided above represents a fair and reasonable estimate, taking into account all circumstances existing on the date of this Note, of the additional costs and expenses Lender will incur by reason of Borrower's delinquent payment and the additional compensation Lender is entitled lo receive for the increased risks of nonpayment associated wilh a delinquent loan.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in any action to enforce Borrower's personal liability under this Section 9, Borrower waives any right to set off the value of the Mortgaged Property against such personal liability.
(d) Nothing herein or in the other Borrower Loan Documents shall be deemed to be a waiver of any right which the Lender or the Servicer may have under Sections 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provision of the United States Bankruptcy Code, as such sections may be amended, or corresponding or superseding sections of the Bankruptcy Amendments and Federal Judgeship Act of 1984, to file a claim for the full amount due to the Lender and the Servicer hereunder and under the other Borrower Loan Documents or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure the amounts due hereunder and under the other Borrower Loan Documents.

- Any application by Lender of any collateral or other security to the repayment of any portion of the unpaid principal balance of this Note in the absence of acceleration shall be deemed to be a partial prepayment by Borrower.
- The Borrower shall prepay the outstanding principal balance of this Note at the direction of the Lender, in whole or in part, at a prepayment price equal to the outstanding principal balance of this Note prepaid, plus accrued interest plus any other amounts payable under this Note or the other Borrower Loan Documents, upon the occurrence of any event or condition described below:

- in whole but not in part at the prepayment price equal to the outstanding principal balance of this Note prepaid, plus accrued interest plus any other amounts payable under this Note or the Borrower Loan Agreement through the date of prepayment, upon the written direction of the Funding Lender no later than the day before (a) any sale of the Project, restructuring of the Borrower or any other event that would cause or be deemed to cause an assumption of obligations of an unrelated party for purposes of Section 1.150-1 (d)(2) of the Regulations'(any such event referred to herein as a "Transfer") which Transfer would occur within six months of a "refinancing" (as contemplated by such Regulation), or (b) any "refinancing" that would occur within six months of a Transfer;
- in whole, upon a Determination of Taxability; or

82619738
(6) as and to the extent required by the Lender pursuant to Section 3.3(a) ofthe Borrower Loan Agreement.
In connection with any such prepayment, the Borrower shall deposit immediately available funds with the Lender by no later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date fixed by the Lender, which date shall be communicated by the Lender in writing to the Borrower. To the extent that the Borrower receives any insurance proceeds or condemnation awards that are to be applied to the prepayment of this Note, such amounts shall be applied to the prepayment of this Note. No prepayment premium shall be payable with respect to any prepayment required by this Section 10(d). .
- Any permitted or required prepayment of less than the unpaid principal balance of this Note shall not extend or postpone the due date of any subsequent monthly installments or change the amount of such installments, unless Lender agrees otherwise in writing.
- Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Borrower shall prepay this Note in full on the Mandatory Prepayment Date.
- Extension of Mandatory Prepayment Date. Borrower shall have an option to extend the Mandatory Prepayment Date to the Extended Mandatory Prepayment Date, provided that (i) Borrower has provided to Funding Lender not less than sixty (60) days prior written notice of its election to extend, (ii) there shall be no Event of Default or Potential Default, (iii) Borrower pays to Funding Lender the Extension Fee upon the exercise of such option, (iv) Funding Lender reasonably determines that there is a sufficient amount in the interest line item of the Cost Breakdown such that, together with any Net Operating Income Lender reasonably determines can be derived from the Improvements, all interest coming due under this Note, until the Extended Mandatory Prepayment Date will be timely paid; and (v) Lender has received adequate assurances from Subordinate Lender and the Equity Investor that the extension of the Mandatory Prepayment Date will not materially adversely affect the availability of Subordinate Loan proceeds or Borrower Deferred Equity nor cause a default under the Subordinate Loan Documents or the Partnership Agreement.
- Costs and Expenses. To the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, Borrower shall pay all expenses and costs, including, without limitation, out-of-pocket expenses and reasonable fees of attorneys (including, without limitation, in-house attorneys) and expert witnesses and costs of investigation, incurred by Lender as a result of any default under this Note or in connection with efforts to collect any amount due under this Note, or to enforce the provisions of any of the other Borrower Loan Documents, including those incurred in post-judgment collection efforts and in any bankruptcy proceeding (including any action for relief from the automatic stay of any bankruptcy proceeding) or judicial or non-judicial foreclosure proceeding. For purposes of Section 9(b) and this Section 11, attorneys' out of pocket expenses shall include, but are not limited to, support staff costs, costs of preparing for litigation, computerized research, telephone and facsimile transmission expenses, mileage, deposition costs, postage, duplicating, process service, videotaping and similar costs and expenses.
7
82619738
- Forbearance. Any forbearance by Lender in exercising any right or remedy under this Note, the Security Instrument, or any other Borrower Loan Document or otherwise afforded by applicable law, shall not be a waiver of or preclude the exercise of that or any other right or remedy. The acceptance by Lender of any payment after the due date of such payment, or in an amount which is less than the required payment, shall not be a waiver of Lender's right to require prompt payment when due of all other payments or to exercise any right or remedy with respect to any failure to make prompt payment. Enforcement by Lender of any security for Borrower's obligations under this Note shall not constitute an election by Lender of remedies so as to preclude the exercise of any other right or remedy available to Lender.
- Waivers. Presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest, notice of acceleration, notice of intent to demand or accelerate payment or maturity, presentment for payment, notice of nonpayment, grace, and diligence in collecting the Indebtedness are waived by Borrower and all endorsers and guarantors of this Note and all other third party obligors.
- Loan Charges. Neither this Note nor any of the other Borrower Loan Documents shall be construed to create a contract for the use, forbearance or detention of money requiring payment of interest at a rate greater than the maximum interest permitted to be charged under applicable law. If any applicable law limiting the amount of interest or other charges permitted to be collected from Borrower in connection with the Loan is interpreted so that any interest or other charge provided for in any Borrower Loan Document, whether considered separately or together with other charges provided for in any other Borrower Loan Document, violates that law, and Borrower is entitled to the benefit of that law, that interest or charge is hereby reduced to the extent necessary to eliminate that violation. The amounts, if any, previously paid to Lender in excess of the permitted amounts shall be applied by Lender to reduce the unpaid principal balance of this Note. For the purpose of determining whether any applicable law limiting the amount of interest or other charges permitted to be collected from Borrower has been violated, all Indebtedness that constitutes interest, as well as all other charges made in connection with the Indebtedness that constitute interest, shall be deemed to be allocated and spread ratably over the stated term of this Note. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, such allocation and spreading shall be effected in such a manner that the rate of interest so computed is uniform throughout the stated term of this Note.
- Obligations of the Borrower Absolute and Unconditional. The obligations of the Borrower to make all payments required under this Note and the other Borrower Loan Documents, on or before the date the same become due, and to perform all of its other obligations, covenants and agreements hereunder and under the other Borrower Loan Documents shall be primary, absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid or performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Note and the other Borrower Loan Documents under any and all circumstances, without notice or demand, and without abatement, deduction, set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or defense or any right of termination or cancellation arising from any circumstance whatsoever, whether now existing or hereafter arising, and irrespective of whether the Borrower's title .to the Mortgaged Property or to any part thereof is defective or nonexistent, and notwithstanding any damage due to loss, theft or destruction of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, any failure of consideration or frustration of commercial purpose, the taking by eminent domain of title to or of the right of temporary use of all or any part of the Mortgaged Property, legal curtailment ofthe Borrower's use thereof, the eviction or constructive eviction of
8
S2619738
the Borrower, any change in the tax or other laws of the United States of America, the State or any political subdivision thereof, any change in the Lender's legal organization or status, or any default of the Lender hereunder or under any other Borrower Loan Document, and regardless of the invalidity of any action ofthe Lender or the invalidity of any portion of this Note or the other Borrower Loan Documents. Provided further, the obligations of Borrower under this Note and the other Borrower Loan Documents shall not be affected by:
- any lack of validity or enforceability of any Borrower Loan Document or any of the Related Documents;
- any amendment of, or any waiver or consent with respect to, any of the Borrower Loan Documents or Related Documents;
- the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other rights which Borrower, General Partner or Guarantor may have at any time against Lender (other than the defense of payment in accordance with the terms of this Note or the other Borrower Loan Documents) or any other Person, whether in connection with this Note or any other Borrower Loan Document, the Related Documents or any transaction contemplated thereby or any unrelated transaction;
- any breach of contract or other dispute between Borrower, General Partner or Guarantor, and Lender;
- any funding requisition or any document presented in connection therewith, proving to be forged, fraudulent, untrue, inaccurate, invalid or insufficient in any respect; or
- any exchange, release or nonperfection of any lien or security interest in any collateral pledged or otherwise provided to secure any of the obligations contemplated herein, in any other Borrower Loan Document or in any Related Document.
The Borrower hereby waives the application to it of the provisions of any statute or other law now or hereafter in effect contrary to any of its obligations, covenants or agreements under this Note or the other Borrower Loan Documents or which releases or purports to release the Borrower therefrom. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as prohibiting the Borrower from pursuing any rights or remedies it may have against any Person in a separate legal proceeding.
- Commercial Purpose. Borrower represents that the Indebtedness is being incurred by Borrower solely for the purpose of carrying on a business or commercial enterprise, and not for personal, family, household or agricultural purposes.
- Counting of Days. Except where otherwise specifically provided, any reference in this Note to a period of "days" means calendar days, not Business Days.
- Notices. All notices, demands and other communications required or permitted to be given by Lender to Borrower pursuant to this Note shall be in writing, addressed as set forth below, and shall include a reference to "Deal ID No. 22853." Each notice shall be deemed given

SCHEDULE A
PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST PAYMENTS
A. Interest Rate. Except as provided in Paragraphs 8 and 14, interest ("Note Interest") shall accrue on the unpaid principal of this Note from, and including, the date of this Note until paid in full al an annual rate (the "Interest Rate") as follows:
- Fixed Rate. Interest shall accrue at annual rate of three and twenty-eight hundredths percent (3.28%).
- Maximum Rate. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Note to the contrary, Note Interest shall not exceed the Maximum Rate, as the Maximum Rate may change in accordance with this Note.
- Interest Accrual. Note Interest shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days in the period in respect of which payment is being made divided by 360.
- Accrual Period. "Accrual Period" means the period commencing on the first calendar day of each month and continuing to but excluding the first calendar day of the following month (without adjustment in either case for Business Day payment conventions).
2. Monthly Interest Only Payments. Consecutive monthly installments of
interest only, each in the amount of the Required Monthly Payment (defined below), shall be
payable on each Loan Payment Date until the entire unpaid principal balance evidenced by this
Note is fully paid. The Required Monthly Payment shall be an amount equal to the Note Interest
that has accrued on the unpaid principal balance of the Loan during the applicable Accrual
Period. The entire unpaid principal balance and accrued but unpaid interest, if not sooner paid,
shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.
3. Loss of Tax Exclusion. Borrower understands that the interest rates provided
under this Note with respect to the Governmental Lender Note are based on the assumption that
interest income paid on the Governmental Lender Note and received by the holder will be
excludable from the holder's gross income under Section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code. In
the event that Borrower receives notice from Lender that a Determination of Taxability has
occurred, then, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, the interest rate
on the Note and on all obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents (other than those to
which the Default Rate applies) shall be increased to a rate equal to the greater of: (i) three and
one-half percent (3.5%) in excess of the Interest Rate or (ii) the Default Rate.
Borrower shall, in addition, pay to Lender, promptly upon demand, an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest payable on the Note from the date on which such loss of tax exemption on the Governmental Lender Note shall be applicable to the date on which the interest rate on the Note was increased and the amount of interest that would have been payable on the Note during such period had the Note borne interest during such period at such higher rate. The Borrower shall also indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless from any penalties,
A-1

interest expense or other costs, including attorneys' fees (including all allocated time and charges of "in-housc" and "outside" counsel) and accountants' costs, resulting from any dispute with the Internal Revenue Service concerning the proper tax treatment of the Governmental Lender Note and the interest payable to Lender on the Governmental Lender Note.

THIS LAND USE RESTRICTION AGREEMENT (this "Agreement"), entered into as of December 1, 2014, between the CITY OF CHICAGO, a municipal corporation and home rule unit of local government duly organized and validly existing under the Constitution and laws of the State of Illinois (the "Issuer"), and CASA QUERETARO LP, an Illinois limited partnership (the "Owner"),
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, pursuant to a Funding Loan Agreement, dated as of December 1, 2014 (the "Funding Loan Agreement") between the Issuer and Citibank, N.A. (the "Funding Lender") and an ordinance adopted by the Issuer on October 8, 2014 (the "Ordinance"), the Funding Lender will advance funds (the "Funding Loan") in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed Eight Million Five Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($8,500,000) and the Issuer will issue, sell and deliver its $8,500,000 Multi-Family Housing Revenue Note (Casa Queretaro Apartments), Series 2014 (the "Note") evidencing the obligation to repay the Funding Loan; and
WHEREAS, the proceeds derived from the issuance and sale of the Note have been lent by the Issuer to the Owner pursuant to the a loan agreement of even date herewith (the "Borrower Loan Agreement"), between the Issuer and the Owner for the purpose of financing a portion of the costs of construction and equipping of low- and moderate-income residential facilities consisting of a new, four-story, residential building and related common facilities and containing approximately 45 dwelling units, which will include 30 units available to households with incomes up to 60% of area median income and 15 units dedicated for use as public housing, pursuant to the United States Housing Act of 1937 (42 USC §1437, et seq.), as amended from time to time, any successor legislation and all implementing regulations issued thereunder or in furtherance thereof (together with all rights and interests of the Owner in common areas in such buildings and on the related site, the "Units"), located on the site described in Exhibit A hereto (the "Site" and, together with the Units, the "Project"); and
WHEREAS, the Units will be leased entirely to low- and moderate-income tenants; and
WHEREAS, the Site is currently owned by the City and will be conveyed to The Resurrection Project, an Illinois not-for-profit corporation (the "Developer") and thereafter re-conveyed by the Developer to Owner; and
WHEREAS, the Owner will1 construct the Units on the Site and will own the Units; and
WHEREAS, in order to assure the Issuer and the Funding Lender that interest on the Note will be excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and to further the public purposes of the Issuer, certain restrictions on the use and occupancy of the Project under the Code must be established;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants hereinafter set forth, and of other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, sufficiency and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the Owner and the Issuer agree as follows:
Section 1.
Term of Restrictions.
- Occupancy Restrictions. The term of the Occupancy Restrictions set forth in Section 3 hereof shall commence on the first day on which at least 10% of the Units are first occupied following completion of such Units and shall end on the latest of (i) the date which is 15 years after the date on which at least 50% of the Units in the Project are first occupied; (ii) the first date on which no tax-exempt note or bond (including any refunding note or bond) issued with respect to the Project is outstanding (treating, for such purpose, the Project as being financed in part by the Note); or (iii) the date on which any housing assistance provided with respect to the Project under Section 8 of the United States Housing Act of 1937, as amended, terminates (which period is hereinafter referred with respect to the Project as the "Qualified Project Period").
- Rental Restrictions. The Rental Restrictions with respect to the Project set forth in Section 4 hereof shall remain in effect during the Qualified Project Period.
- Involuntary Loss or Substantial Destruction. The Occupancy Restrictions set forth in Section 3 hereof, and the Rental Restrictions set forth in Section 4 hereof, shall cease to apply to the Project in the event of involuntary noncompliance caused by fire, seizure, requisition, foreclosure, transfer of title by deed in lieu of foreclosure, change in federal law or an action of a federal agency (with respect to the Project) after the date of delivery of the Note, which prevents the Issuer from enforcing the Occupancy Restrictions and the Rental Restrictions (with respect to the Project), or condemnation or similar event (with respect to the Project), but only if, within a reasonable time, (i)the Note is promptly retired, or amounts received as a consequence of such event are used to provide a new project which meets all of the requirements of this Agreement, which new project is subject to new restrictions substantially equivalent to those contained in this Agreement, and which is substituted in place of the Project by amendment of this Agreement; and (ii) an opinion from nationally recognized bond counsel (selected by the Issuer) is received to the effect that noncompliance with the Occupancy Restrictions and the Rental Restrictions applicable to the Project as a result of such involuntary loss or substantial destruction resulting from an unforeseen event with respect to the Project will not adversely affect the exclusion of the interest on the Note from the gross income of the owner thereof for purposes of federal income taxation; provided, however, that the preceding provisions of this paragraph shall cease to apply in the case of such involuntary noncompliance caused by foreclosure, transfer of title by deed in lieu of foreclosure or similar event if at any time during the Qualified Project Period with respect to the Project subsequent to such event the Owner or any Affiliated Party (as hereinafter defined) obtains an ownership interest in the Project for federal income tax purposes. "Affiliated Party" means a person whose relationship to another person is such that (i) the relationship between such persons would result in a disallowance of losses under Section 267 or 707(b) of the Code; or (ii) such persons are members of the same controlled group of corporations (as defined in Section 1563(a) ofthe Code, except that "more than 50%" shall be substituted for "at least 80%" each place it appears therein).
- Termination. This Agreement shall terminate with respect to the Project upon the earliest of (i) termination of the Occupancy Restrictions and the Rental Restrictions with respect to the Project, as provided in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 1; or (ii) delivery to the Issuer and the Owner of an opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel (selected by the Issuer) to the effect that continued compliance of the Project with the Rental Restrictions and the Occupancy Restrictions applicable to the Project is not required in order for interest on the Note to remain excludible from gross income for federal income tax purposes.
2
- Certification. Upon termination of this Agreement, the Owner and the Issuer shall execute and cause to be recorded (at the Owner's expense), in all offices in which this Agreement was recorded, a certificate of termination, specifying which of the restrictions contained herein has terminated.
- Encumbrance of Fee. In furtherance of enforcing compliance with the provisions of Section 142(d) of the Code and Section 1.103-8(b) of the Regulations applicable to this Agreement, unless the provisions of paragraph (c) or (d) above apply to the Project resulting in a termination of the restrictions set forth herein, such restrictions shall continue to apply to the Project following the termination of the Owner's or any other party's leasehold estate therein, whether or not the Project is thereafter released by the Issuer.
Section 2. Project Restrictions. The Owner represents, warrants and covenants
that:
- The Owner has reviewed the provisions of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (the "Regulations") applicable to this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 142(d) of the Code and Section 1.103-8(b) of the Regulations) with its counsel and understands said provisions.
- The Project is being acquired, constructed and equipped for the purpose of providing a "qualified residential rental project" (as such phrase is used in Section 142(d) ofthe Code) and will, during the term of the Rental Restrictions and Occupancy Restrictions hereunder applicable to the Project, continue to constitute a "qualified residential rental project" under Section 142(d) of the Code and any Regulations heretofore or hereafter promulgated thereunder and applicable thereto.
- Substantially all (not less than 95%) of the Project will consist of a "building or structure" (as defined in Section 1.103-8(b)(8)(iv) of the Regulations), or several proximate buildings or structures, of similar construction, each containing one or more similarly constructed residential units (as defined in Section 1.103-8(b)(8)(i) of the Regulations) located on a single tract of land or contiguous tracts of land (as defined in Section 1.103-8(b)(4)(ii)-(B) of the Regulations), which will be owned, for federal tax purposes, at all times by the same person, and financed pursuant to a common plan (within the meaning of Section 1.103-8(b)(4)(ii) of the Regulations), together with functionally related and subordinate facilities (within the meaning of Section 1.103-8(b)(4)(iii) of the Regulations). If any such building or structure contains fewer than five (5) units, no unit in such building or structure shall be Owner-occupied.
- None of the Units in the Project will at any time be used on a transient basis, nor will the Project itself be used as a hotel, motel, dormitory, fraternity or sorority house, rooming house, hospital, nursing home, sanitarium, rest home or trailer park or court for use on a transient basis; nor shall any portion of the Project be operated as an assisted living facility which provides continual or frequent nursing, medical or psychiatric services; provided, however that nothing herein shall be understood to prohibit single-room-occupancy units occupied under month-to-month leases.
- All of the Units in the Project will be leased or rented, or available for lease or rental, on a continuous basis to members of the general public (other than (i) Units for resident managers or maintenance personnel, (ii) Units for Qualifying Tenants as provided for in Section 3 hereof, and (iii) Units which may be rented under the Section 8 assistance program,
3
which units (subject to the Section 8 assistance program) shall be leased to eligible tenants in accordance with Section requirements), subject, however, to the requirements of Section 3(a) hereof. Each Qualifying Tenant (as hereinafter defined) occupying a Unit in the Project shall be required to execute a written lease with a stated term of not less than 30 days nor more than one year.
- Any functionally related and subordinate facilities (e.g., parking areas, swimming pools, tennis courts, etc.) which are included as part of the Project will be of a character and size commensurate with the character and size of the Project, and will be made available to all tenants in the Project on an equal basis; fees will only be charged with respect to the use thereof if the charging of fees is customary for the use of such facilities at similar residential rental properties in the surrounding area (i.e., within a one-mile radius), or, if none, then within comparable urban settings in the City of Chicago, and then only in amounts commensurate with the fees being charged at similar residential rental properties within such area. In any event, any fees charged will not be discriminatory or exclusionary as to the Qualifying Tenants (as defined in Section 3 hereof). No functionally related and subordinate facilities will be made available to persons other than tenants or their guests.
- Each residential unit in the Project will contain separate and complete facilities for living, sleeping, eating, cooking and sanitation for a single person or family.
- No portion of the Project will be used to provide any health club facility (except as provided in (f) above), any facility primarily used for gambling, or any store, the principal business of which is the sale of alcoholic beverages for consumption off premises, in violation of Section 147(e) ofthe Code.
Section 3. Occupancy Restrictions. The Owner represents, warrants and covenants with respect to the Project that:
- Pursuant to the election of the Issuer in accordance with the provisions of Section 142(d)(1)(A) ofthe Code, at all times during the Qualified Project Period with respect to the Project at least 40% of the completed Units in the Project shall be continuously occupied (or treated as occupied as provided herein) or held available for occupancy by Qualifying Tenants as herein defined. For purposes of this Agreement, "Qualifying Tenants" means individuals or families whose aggregate adjusted incomes do not exceed 60% of the applicable median gross income (adjusted for family size) for the area in which the Project is located, as such income and area median gross income are determined by the Secretary of the United States Treasury in a manner consistent with determinations of income and area median gross income under Section 8 of the United States Housing Act of 1937, as amended (or, if such program is terminated, under such program as in effect immediately before such determination).
- Prior to the commencement of occupancy of any unit to be occupied by a Qualifying Tenant, the prospective tenant's eligibility shall be established by execution and delivery by such prospective tenant of an Income Computation and Certification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the "Income Certification") evidencing that the aggregate adjusted income of such prospective tenant does not exceed the applicable income limit. In addition, such prospective tenant shall be required to provide whatever other information, documents or certifications are reasonably deemed necessary by the Owner or the Issuer to substantiate the Income Certification.
4
- Not less frequently than annually, the Owner shall determine whether the current aggregate adjusted income of each tenant occupying any unit being treated by the Owner as occupied by a Qualifying Tenant exceeds the applicable income limit. For such purpose the Owner shall require each such tenant to execute and deliver the Income Certification; provided, however, that for any calendar year during which no unit in the Project is occupied by a new resident who is not a qualifying tenant, no Income Computation and Certification for existing tenants shall be required.
- Any unit vacated by a Qualifying Tenant shall be treated as continuing to be occupied by such tenant until reoccupied, other than for a temporary period not to exceed 31 days, at which time the character of such unit as a unit occupied by a Qualifying Tenant shall be redetermined.
- If an individual's or family's income exceeds the applicable income limit as of any date of determination, the income of such individual or family shall be treated as continuing not to exceed the applicable limit, provided that the income of an individual or family did not exceed the applicable income limit upon commencement of such tenant's occupancy or as of any prior income determination, and provided, further, that if any individual's or family's income as of the most recent income determination exceeds 140% ofthe applicable income limit, such individual or family shall cease to qualify as a Qualifying Tenant if, prior to the next income determination of such individual or family, any unit in the Project of comparable or smaller size to such individual's or family's unit is occupied by any tenant other than a Qualifying Tenant.
- The lease to be utilized by the Owner in renting any Unit in the Project to a prospective Qualifying Tenant shall provide for termination of the lease and consent by such person to eviction following 30 days' written notice, subject to applicable provisions of Illinois law (including for such purpose all applicable home rule ordinances), for any material misrepresentation made by such person with respect to the Income Certification with the effect that such tenant is not a Qualified Tenant.
- All Income Certifications will be maintained on file at the Project as long as the Note is outstanding and for five years thereafter with respect to each Qualifying Tenant who occupied a Unit in the Project during the period the restrictions hereunder are applicable, and the Owner will, promptly upon receipt, file a copy thereof with the Issuer.
- On the first day of the Qualified Project Period with respect to the Project, on the fifteenth days of January, April, July and October of each year during the Qualified Project Period with respect to the Project, and within 30 days after the final day of each month in which there occurs any change in the occupancy of a Unit in the Project, the Owner will submit to the Issuer a "Certificate of Continuing Program Compliance," in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C executed by the Owner with respect to the Project.
(i) The Owner shall submit to the Secretary of the United States Treasury (at such
time and in such manner as the Secretary shall prescribe) with respect to the Project an annual
certification on Form 8703 as to whether the Project continues to meet the requirements of
Section 142(d) of the Code. Failure to comply with such requirement may subject the Owner to
the penalty provided in Section 6652(j) of the Code.
Section 4. Rental Restrictions. The Owner represents, warrants and covenants with respect to the Project that once available for occupancy, each Unit in the Project will be
5
rented or available for rental on a continuous basis to members of the general public (other than (a) Units for resident managers or maintenance personnel, (b) Units for Qualifying Tenants as provided for in Section 3 hereof, and (c) Units which may be rented under the Section 8 assistance program, which Units (subject to the Section 8 assistance program) shall be leased to eligible tenants in accordance with Section 8 requirements). If a Housing Assistance Payments Contract is subsequently entered into with respect to the Project under the Section 8 assistance program, in administering the restrictions hereunder with respect to the Project the Owner will comply with all Section 8 requirements.
Section 5. Transfer Restrictions. The Owner covenants and agrees that no conveyance, transfer, assignment or any other disposition of title to any portion of the Project (a "Transfer") shall be made prior to the termination of the Rental Restrictions and Occupancy Restrictions hereunder with respect to the Project, unless the transferee pursuant to the Transfer assumes in writing (the "Assumption Agreement"), in a form reasonably acceptable to the Issuer, all of the executory duties and obligations hereunder of the Owner with respect to such portion of the Project, including those contained in this Section 5, and agrees to cause any subsequent transferee to assume such duties and obligations in the event of a subsequent Transfer by the transferee prior to the termination of the Rental Restrictions and Occupancy Restrictions hereunder with respect to the Project. The Owner shall deliver the Assumption Agreement to the Issuer at least 30 days prior to a proposed Transfer. This Section 5 shall not apply to any involuntary transfer pursuant to Section 1(c) hereof. This Section shall not be deemed to restrict the transfer of any partnership interest in the Owner or a transfer by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure.
Section 6. Enforcement.
- The Owner shall permit all duly authorized representatives of the Issuer to inspect any books and records of the Owner regarding the Project and the incomes of Qualifying Tenants which pertain to compliance with the provisions of this Agreement and Section 142(d) ofthe Code and the regulations heretofore or hereafter promulgated thereunder.
- In addition to the information provided for in Section 3(i) hereof, the Owner shall submit any other information, documents or certifications reasonably requested by the Issuer, which the Issuer deems reasonably necessary to substantiate continuing compliance with the provisions of this Agreement and Section 142(d) of the Code and the regulations heretofore or hereafter promulgated thereunder.
- The Issuer and the Owner each covenants that it will not take or permit to be taken any action within its control that it knows would adversely affect the exclusion of interest on the Note from the gross income of the owners thereof for purposes of federal income taxation pursuant to Section 103 of the Code. Moreover, each covenants to take any lawful action within its control (including amendment of this Agreement as may be necessary in the opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel selected by the Issuer) 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 from time to time pertaining to obligations issued under Section 142(d) ofthe Code and affecting the Project.
- The Owner covenants and agrees to inform the Issuer by written notice of any violation of its obligations hereunder within five days of first discovering any such violation. If
6
any such violation is not corrected to the satisfaction of the Issuer within the period of time specified by either the Issuer, which shall be (i) the lesser of (A) 60 days after the effective date of any notice to or from the Owner, or (B) 75 days from the date such violation would have been discovered by the Owner by the exercise of reasonable diligence, or (ii) such longer period as may be necessary to cure such violation, provided bond counsel (selected by the Issuer) of nationally recognized standing in matters pertaining to the exclusion of interest on municipal bonds from gross income for purposes of federal income taxation issues an opinion that such extension will not result in the loss of such exclusion of interest on the Note, without further notice, the Issuer shall declare a default under this Agreement effective on the date of such declaration of default, and the Issuer shall apply to any, court, state or federal, for specific performance of this Agreement or an injunction against any violation of this Agreement, or any other remedies at law or in equity or any such other actions as shall be necessary or desirable so as to correct noncompliance with this Agreement.
- The Owner and the Issuer each acknowledges that the primary purposes for requiring compliance with the restrictions provided in this Agreement are to preserve the exclusion of interest on the Note from gross income for purposes of federal income taxation, and that the Issuer, on behalf of the owners of the Note, who are declared to be third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement, shall be entitled for any breach of the provisions hereof, to all remedies both at law and in equity in the event of any default hereunder.
- In the enforcement of this Agreement, the Issuer may rely on any certificate delivered by or on behalf of the Owner or any tenant with respect to the Project.
- Nothing in this Section shall preclude the Issuer from exercising any remedies it might otherwise have, by contract, statute or otherwise, upon the occurrence of any violation hereunder.
- Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Issuer hereby agrees that any cure of any default made or tendered by one or more of the Owner's partners shall be deemed to be a cure by the Owner and shall be accepted or rejected on the same basis as if made or tendered by the Owner.
Section 7. Covenants to Run with the Land. The Owner hereby subjects the Project, the Site and the Units to the covenants, reservations and restrictions set forth in this Agreement. The Issuer and the Owner hereby declare their express intent that the covenants, reservations and restrictions set forth herein shall be deemed covenants, reservations and restrictions running with the land to the extent permitted by law and subject to the Declaration of Restrictive Covenants and the Regulatory and Operating Agreement each entered into by the Owner and the Chicago Housing Authority, and shall pass to and be binding upon the Owner's successors in title to the Project, the Units, and the Site, throughout the term of this Agreement. Each and every contract, deed, mortgage, lease or other instrument hereafter executed covering or conveying the Project, the Units or the Site, or any portion thereof or interest therein (excluding any transferee of a partnership interest in the Owner), 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, mortgage, lease or other instrument.
Section 8. Recording. The Owner shall cause this Agreement and all amendments and supplements hereto to be recorded in the conveyance and real property records of Cook
7
County, Illinois, and in such other places as the Issuer may reasonably request. The Owner shall pay all fees and charges incurred in connection with any such recording.
Section 9. Agents of the Issuer. The Issuer shall have the right to appoint agents to carry out any of its duties and obligations hereunder, and shall, upon written request, certify in writing to the other party hereto any such agency appointment.
Section 10. No Conflict with Other Documents. The Owner warrants and covenants that it has not and will not execute any other agreement with provisions inconsistent or in conflict with the provisions hereof (except documents that are subordinate to the provisions hereof), and the Owner agrees that the requirements of this Agreement are paramount and controlling as to the rights and obligations herein set forth, which supersede any other requirements in conflict herewith.
Section 11. Interpretation. Any capitalized terms not defined in this Agreement shall have the same meaning as terms defined in the Funding Loan Agreement, the Borrower Loan Agreement or Section 142(d) of the Code and the regulations heretofore or hereafter promulgated thereunder.
Section 12. Amendment.

Section 13. Severability. The invalidity of any clause, part or provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity ofthe remaining portions thereof.
Section 14. Notices. Any notice, demand or other communication required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given if and when personally delivered and receipted for, or, if sent by private courier service or sent by overnight mail service, shall be deemed to have been given if and when received (unless the addressee refuses to accept delivery, in which case it shall be deemed to have been given when first presented to the addressee for acceptance), or on the first day after being sent by telegram, or on the third day after being deposited in United States registered or certified mail, postage prepaid. Any such notice, demand or other communication shall be given as provided for in Section 11.1 ofthe Funding Loan Agreement.

Section 16. Limited Liability of Owner.
