7.1
of Default:
ARTICLE VII
DEFAULT
The happening of any one or more of the following events shall constitute an Event
(a) Failure of any of the HOME Assisted Units to remain Affordable at any
time during the Affordability Period.
(b) If any term, condition or representation contained in this Agreement or any
of the other HOME Loan Documents is materially untrue, substantially
inaccurate or incomplete when made, or, if there is a material
misrepresentation of fact or fraud contained in any document(s) submitted
in support of this Agreement, provided however that at the City's sole
discretion, the removal of the manager by the investor member may cure
such default.
(c) The substantial discontinuance of the construction of the Project for a period
of thirty (30) days which discontinuance is, in the sole determination of the
City, without satisfactory cause. Force majeure events such as a pandemic,
natural disaster, terrorism, supply or labor shortages and acts of god shall
be deemed satisfactory cause.
(d) Except as set forth in each of Sections 5.6, 5.17, and 6.5 of this Agreement,
the sale, assignment, pledge, transfer, hypothecation or other encumbrance
or disposition (except due to repair or replacement for normal wear and tear,
and as a result of casualty or condemnation in accordance with this
Agreement) of any proprietary or beneficial interest in the Project Sponsor's
estate in the Property, or any change in operating control of the Project
Sponsor, without the prior approval of the City's HCLC or the City
Commission, as appropriate.
(e) In the event that the City reasonably determines that the Project is not being
constructed in a good and workmanlike manner in accordance with the
Scope of Work, or that the Project Sponsor is failing to comply promptly
with any requirement or notice of violation of law issued by or filed by the
City or any department of any governmental authority having jurisdiction
over the Project Sponsor or the Property.
(f)
(g)
Failure by the Project Sponsor to comply with any material term, covenant,
obligation, or provision of this Agreement or any of the HOME Loan
Documents, or the occurrence of an event of default under any of the other
HOME Loan Documents.
Any change in zoning requirements or zoning classification of the Property
initiated by the Project Sponsor, which in the City's sole discretion would
materially interfere with the completion of construction of the Project or the
ultimate operation of the Project as contemplated herein.
(h) In the event that the City reasonably determines that there exists an event of
default under and pursuant to the terms of any other agreement or obligation
of any kind or nature whatsoever of the Project Sponsor to the City, direct
or contingent, whether now or hereafter due, existing, created or arising.
Project Sponsor declares bankruptcy and/or becomes insolvent, which shall
result in immediate acceleration of the Loan's repayment in full.
City and Project Sponsor acknowledge that a senior mortgage default,
which constitutes a "Event of Default" and has been declared an "Event of
Default" by such senior lender under such senior mortgage unless waived
by the Senior Lender, constitutes an Event of Default under this Loan
Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In such an event, City may
pursue any and all of its remedies.
ARTICLE VIII
REMEDIES
8.1 Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the City shall have the absolute right
to refuse to disburse any undisbursed portion of the Loan.
The City shall provide written notice of the occurrence of an Event of Default to the Project
Sponsor and its investor member, after which the Project Sponsor shall have thirty (30) days to
cure said default (except for the events described in Section 7.1 (b) and (d) above for which the
aforementioned cure period shall not apply).
In the event a default which is permitted to be cured cannot practicably be cured within
thirty (30) days, the Project Sponsor shall have such additional time as may be required to effect a
cure, so long as (a) the cure is commenced within thirty (30) days and is diligently prosecuted and
(b) the lack of a cure during such continuing cure period has no material adverse effect on the
Project. The City agrees to accept a cure of any default committed by the Project Sponsor, which cure
is tendered or effected by the Investor, as if such sure had been tendered or effected by the Project
Sponsor.
If an Event of Default shall continue uncured for a period of thirty (30) consecutive days
following written notice thereof to the Project Sponsor (except for the events described in Section
7.1 (b) and (d) above for which the aforementioned cure period shall not apply and except for cures
which are continuing as provided in the preceding paragraph), and subject to the provisions of the
last paragraph of this Section, the City shall have the absolute right, at its option and election and
in its sole discretion to:
(a) Specific Performance. Institute appropriate proceedings to specifically
enforce performance of the terms and conditions of this Agreement;
(b) Recapture of HOME Funds. Demand that the Project Sponsor reimburse
the City for the HOME Funds disbursed to the Project Sponsor pursuant to
this Agreement. The Project Sponsor shall reimburse City in the amount of
the HOME Funds disbursed to the Project Sponsor pursuant to this
Agreement, subject to any limitations contained in the HOME Note and/or
Mortgage concerning Borrower's or Project Sponsor's liability for amounts
due under the HOME Loan Documents.
(c)
Other Remedies. Exercise any other right, privilege or remedy available to
the City as may be provided by applicable law, or in any of the other HOME
Documents.
It is understood and agreed that the occurrence of an event of default under Section 7.1 (b)
or (d) shall immediately entitle the City to exercise any of the above described remedies without
the need to give the Project Sponsor notice thereof or the opportunity to cure.
The rights and remedies of the City hereunder shall be cumulative and not mutually
exclusive, and the City may resort to any one or more or all of said remedies without exclusion of
any other. No party other than the City, whether the Project Sponsor or a material man, laborer,
subcontractor or supplier, shall have any interest in the HOME Funds withheld because of a default
hereunder, and shall not have any right to garnish or require or compel that payment thereof be
applied toward the discharge or satisfaction of any claim or lien which any of them may have.
Notwithstanding the forgoing, in the event of an Event of Default under Section 7.1(j)
above, which default relates to the Permitted Senior Financing, but does not otherwise constitute
a default under the Loan Documents, such Event of Default shall be waived by the City in the
event that the Senior Lender waives such default under the Permitted Senior Financing, but only
upon submission to the City of such waiver by Senior Lender.
8.2 In addition to any other remedies provided for herein or in any of the other Loan
Documents, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default:
(a) All sums outstanding under the Note shall bear interest at the highest rate allowable
by law from the date of disbursement, without notice to the Project Sponsor or any
guarantor or endorser of the Note and without any affirmative action or declaration
on the part of the City;
(b) The Restrictive Covenant shall remain as a restriction on the Property throughout
the Affordability Period; and
(c) The Project Sponsor, Borrower, Project developer, managing partner(s) of the
Project Sponsor, and/or other individuals, principals and/or other entities as
determined by the City, will be debarred from receiving any City funding for a
period of five (5) years.
ARTICLE IX
INDEMNIFICATION
9.1 The Project Sponsor shall indemnify, hold harmless, and defend the City, its officers,
agents, directors, and/or employees, from liabilities, damages, claims, suits, losses, judgments, and
costs, including, but not limited to reasonable attorney's fees, to the extent caused by the
negligence, recklessness, negligent act or omission, or intentional wrongful misconduct of Project
Sponsor and persons employed or utilized by Project Sponsor in the performance of this
Agreement. Project Sponsor shall, further, hold the City, its officials and/or employees, harmless
for, and defend the City, its officials and/or employees against, any civil actions, statutory or
similar claims, injuries or damages arising or resulting from the permitted work, even if it is alleged
that the City, its officials and/or employees were negligent. These indemnifications shall survive
the term of this Agreement. In the event that any action or proceeding is brought against the City
by reason of any such claim or demand, the Project Sponsor shall, upon written notice from the
City, resist and defend such action or proceeding by counsel satisfactory to the City. The Project
Sponsor expressly understands and agrees that any insurance protection required by this
Agreement or otherwise provided by the Project Sponsor shall in no way limit the responsibility
to indemnify, keep and save harmless and defend the City or its officers, employees, agents and
instrumentalities as herein provided.
The indemnification provided above shall obligate the Project Sponsor to defend, at its own
expense, to and through appellate, supplemental or bankruptcy proceeding, or to provide for such
defense, at the City's option, any and all claims of liability and all suits and actions of every name
and description which may be brought against the City whether performed by the Project Sponsor,
or persons employed or utilized by Project Sponsor.
This indemnity will survive the cancellation or expiration of the Agreement. This
indemnity will be interpreted under the laws of the State of Florida, including without limitation
and interpretation, which conforms to the limitations of §725.06 and/or §725.08, Florida Statutes,
as applicable.
The Project Sponsor shall require all Sub -contractor agreements, if applicable, to include
a provision that they will indemnify the City.
The Project Sponsor agrees and recognizes that the City shall not be held liable or
responsible for any claims which may result from any actions or omissions of the Project Sponsor
in which the City participated either through review or concurrence of the Project Sponsor's
actions. In reviewing, approving or rejecting any submissions by the Project Sponsor or other acts
of the Project Sponsor, the City in no way assumes or shares any responsibility or liability of the
Project Sponsor or Sub -contractor under this Agreement.
ARTICLE X

Sponsor materially fails to comply with the terms contained herein.

from its funding source funds to finance this Agreement, or in the event that the City's funding
source de -obligates the funds allocated to finance this Agreement, the City may terminate this
Agreement upon not less than twenty-four (24) hours prior notice in writing to the Project Sponsor.
Said notice shall be delivered by certified mail, return receipt requested, or by in person delivery
with proof of delivery. The City shall determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, whether or
not funds are available.
10.2 Termination for Breach. The City may terminate this Agreement, in whole or in
part, in the event the City reasonably determines that the Project Sponsor is not making (or causing
to be made) sufficient progress with regard to the construction of the HOME Assisted Units
(thereby endangering its ultimate performance under this Agreement) or is not complying with any
material term or provision of this Agreement, following notice and the expiration of the applicable
cure period(s).
The City may terminate this Agreement, in whole or in part, in the event that the City
reasonably determines that there exists an event of default under and pursuant to the terms of any
other agreement or obligation of any kind or nature whatsoever of the Project Sponsor to the City,
direct or contingent, whether now or hereafter due, existing, created or arising, which event of
default has continued beyond any applicable cure period.
10.3 Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and the expiration of any cure period
(in those circumstances for which a cure period is otherwise provided in this Agreement), and
unless the Project Sponsor's breach is waived by the City in writing, the City may, by written
notice to the Project Sponsor, terminate this Agreement upon not less than twenty-four (24) hours
prior written notice. Said notice shall be delivered by certified mail, return receipt requested, or
by in person delivery with proof of delivery. Waiver of breach of any provision of this Agreement
shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any other breach and shall not be construed to be a
modification of the terms of this Agreement. The provisions hereof are not intended to be, and
shall not be, construed to limit the City's right to legal or equitable remedies.
ARTICLE XI
SUSPENSION
11.1 The City may, for reasonable cause, suspend the Project Sponsor's authority to
obligate funds under this Agreement and/or withhold payments to the Project Sponsor, pending
necessary corrective action by the Project Sponsor, and may include:

City in its sole and absolute discretion, waive provisions of this Agreement or seek to obtain such

necessitate an amendment hereto unless the amount of the HOME Loan to be granted hereunder

are classified shall not require an amendment hereto.
12.5 Disputes. In the event an unresolved dispute exists between the Project Sponsor

Agreement, the City shall fund to the Project Sponsor the sum requested by the Project Sponsor or
such lower sum as the City deems appropriate.
1.7 The City shall fund disbursements of the HOME Funds by no later than fourteen
(14) working days after it has received both the Request For Disbursement, in the form required
by Section 1.2 hereof, and the inspection report of the City Inspector, in the form required by
Sections 1.2 and 1.3 hereof, provided that all necessary documentation is complete and correct.

Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average six (6) hours per initial response, and four (4) hours for
updated plans; including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data
needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. This agency may not collect this information, and you are not
required to complete this form, unless it displays a currently valid Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control number.
Purpose of Form: All applicants for participation in FHA subsidized and unsubsidized multifamily housing programs with five or more
units (see 24 CFR 200.615) must complete this Affirmative Fair Housing Marketing Plan (AFHMP) form as specified in 24 CFR
200.625, and in accordance with the requirements in 24 CFR 200.620. The purpose of this AFHMP is to help applicants offer equal
housing opportunities regardless of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status, or disability. The AFHMP helps
owners/agents (respondents) effectively market the availability of housing opportunities to individuals of both minority and non -minority
groups that are least likely to apply for occupancy. Affirmative fair housing marketing and planning should be part of all new

Worksheet 1 to identify any under -represented group(s)
relative to the surrounding housing market area and expanded
housing market area, i.e., those group(s) "least likely to apply"
for the housing without targeted outreach and marketing. If there
Is a particular group or subgroup with members of a protected

Part 9 - Review and Update.
By signing the respondent assumes responsibility for
implementing the AFHMP. Respondents must review their
AFHMP every five years or when the local Community
Development jurisdiction's Consolidated Plan is updated, or
when there are significant changes in the demographics of the
project or the local housing market area. When reviewing the plan,
the respondent should consider the current demographics of the
housing market area to determine if there have been demographic
changes in the population in terms of race, color, national
origin, religion, sex, familial status, or disability. The respondent will
then determine if the population least to likely to apply for the housing
is still the population identified in the AFHMP, whether the advertising
and publicity cited in the current AFHMP are still appropriate, or
whether advertising sources should be modified or expanded. Even if
the demographics of the housing market area have not
changed, the respondent should determine if the outreach
currently being performed is reaching those it is intended to
reach as measured by project occupancy and applicant data. If
not, the AFHMP should be updated. The revised AFHMP must
be submitted to HUD for approval. HUD may review whether the
affirmative marketing is actually being performed in
accordance with the AFHMP. If based on their review,
respondents determine the AFHMP does not need to be
revised, they should maintain a file documenting what was
reviewed, what was found as a result of the review, and why
no changes were required. HUD may review this
documentation.
Notification of Intent to Begin Marketing.
No later than 90 days prior to the initiation of rental
marketing activities, the respondent must submit notification
of intent to begin marketing. The notification is required by the
AFHMP Compliance Regulations (24 CFR 108.15). The
Notification is submitted to the Office of Housing in the HUD Office
servicing the locality in which the proposed housing will be located.
Upon receipt of the Notification of Intent to Begin Marketing from
the applicant, the monitoring office will review any previously
approved plan and may schedule a pre -occupancy conference.
Such conference will be held prior to initiation of sales/rental
marketing activities. At this conference, the previously
approved AFHMP will be reviewed with the applicant to
determine if the plan, and/or its proposed implementation,
requires modification prior to initiation of marketing in order to
achieve the objectives of the AFHM regulation and the plan.
OMB approval of the AFHMP includes approval of this
notification procedure as part of the AFHMP. The burden hours
for such notification are included in the total designated for this
AFHMP form.

accrued, and all other fees and charges due in connection therewith, and all monies secured hereby

mortgagee hereof, as fully and completely as if all of the sums of money were originally stipulated
to be paid on such day, anything in the Note and/or in this Mortgage to the contrary
notwithstanding; and thereupon or thereafter, at the option of the Mortgagee or successor
mortgagee hereof, without notice or demand, suit at law or in equity, therefore, or thereafter begun,
may be prosecuted as if all money secured hereby had matured prior to its institution.

expense of any litigation, including court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in any trial,
appellate, and bankruptcy proceedings, to prosecute or defend the rights and liens created by this
Mortgage shall be paid by the Mortgagor, together with interest thereon at the maximum rate
permitted by law from the date thereof, and any such sum and interest thereon shall be a claim
upon the Mortgaged Property, attaching or accruing subsequent to the lien of this Mortgage, and
shall be secured by the lien of this Mortgage.
12. CONDEMNATION. In the event the Mortgaged Property or any part
thereof shall be condemned under the power of eminent domain, the Mortgagee shall have the
right to demand that all damages awarded for such taking be paid to the Mortgagee and shall be
entitled to receive same, up to the aggregate amount then remaining unpaid on the Note and this
Mortgage, and any such sums shall be applied to the payments last payable thereof.
13. SUBROGATION. To the extent of the indebtedness of the Mortgagor to the
Mortgagee as described in the Note, the Mortgagee shall be subrogated to the lien and the rights
of the owners and holders of each and every mortgage, lien or other encumbrance on the
Mortgaged Property which is paid or satisfied, in whole or in part, out of the proceeds of the Note.
The respective liens of such mortgages, liens or other encumbrances shall be and are hereby
security for the Note, as if they had been regularly assigned, transferred, and delivered unto the
Mortgagee, notwithstanding the fact that the same may be set aside and canceled of record. It is
the intention of the parties hereto that the prior mortgages, liens or other encumbrances will be
satisfied and canceled of record by the holders thereof at or about the time of the recording of this
Mortgage.
14. APPOINTMENT OF RECEIVER. At any time while a suit is pending to
foreclose or to reform this Mortgage or to enforce any claims arising hereunder, the Mortgagee
may apply to a court of appropriate jurisdiction for the appointment of a receiver, and such court
shall forthwith appoint a receiver of the Mortgaged Property, including all and singular the income,
profits, rents, issues and revenues from whatever source derived. The receiver shall have all the
broad and effective functions and powers in anywise entrusted by a court to a receiver, and such
appointment shall be made by such court as an admitted equity and as a matter of absolute right to
the Mortgagee without reference to the adequacy or inadequacy of the value of the Mortgaged
Property, or to the solvency or insolvency of the Mortgagor or the Defendants. All income, profits,
rents, issues and revenues collected by the receiver shall be applied by such receiver according to
the lien of this Mortgage, and the practice of such court.
15. NO TRANSFER OF MORTGAGED PROPERTY. It is expressly agreed
that should the Mortgagor convey title to the Mortgaged Property or, except as may be set forth in
Section 6.5 of the Loan Agreement, or any legal or equitable interest therein, to any person, firm
or corporation or shall permit or create any further encumbrances upon the Mortgaged Property
without the prior written approval of the Mortgagee to such conveyance or encumbrance, all sums
Page 6 of 12
outstanding under the Note and secured by this Mortgage shall become immediately due and
payable, at the option of the Mortgagee.
16. LEASES AFFECTING MORTGAGED PROPERTY. The Mortgagor
shall comply with and observe its obligations as landlord under all leases affecting the Mortgaged
Property or any part thereof. Upon request, the Mortgagor shall furnish promptly to the Mortgagee
executed copies of all such leases now existing or hereafter created. The Mortgagor shall not
accept payment of rent more than one (1) month in advance without the prior written consent of
the Mortgagee. Nothing contained in this Section or elsewhere in this Mortgage shall be construed
to make the Mortgagee a mortgagee in possession unless and until the Mortgagee actually takes
possession of the Mortgaged Property either in person or through an agent or receiver. To the
extent not provided by applicable law, each lease of the Mortgaged Property, shall provide that, in
the event of the enforcement by the Mortgagee of the remedies provided for by law or by this
Mortgage, the lessee thereunder will, if requested by the Mortgagee or by any person succeeding
to the interest of the Mortgagee as the result of said enforcement, automatically become the lessee
of any such successor in interest, without any change in the terms or other provisions of the
respective lease; provided, however, that said successor in interest shall not be bound by (i) any
payment of rent or additional rent for more than one (1) month in advance, except prepayments in
the nature of security for the performance by said lessee of its obligations under said lease not in
excess of an amount equal to one (1) month's rental, or (ii) any amendment or modification in the
lease made without the consent of the Mortgagee or any successor in interest. Each lease shall
also provide that, upon request by said successor in interest, the lessee shall execute and deliver
an instrument or instruments confirming its attornment.
17. ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS, ISSUES AND PROFITS. The Mortgagor does
hereby bargain, sell, transfer, assign, convey, set over and deliver unto the Mortgagee, as security
for the payment and performance of all the terms and conditions of the Note and this Mortgage,
and any and all amendments, extensions and renewals thereof, all Leases affecting the Mortgaged
Property or any part thereof now existing or which may be executed at any time in the future during
the life of this Mortgage, and all amendments, extensions and renewals of said leases and any of
them, and all rents and other income which may now or hereafter be or become due or owing under
the Leases, and any of them, on account of the use of the Mortgaged Property, it being intended
hereby to establish a complete transfer of the leases hereby assigned and all the rents and other
income arising thereunder and on account of the use of the Mortgaged Property unto the
Mortgagee, with the right, but without the obligation, to collect all of said rents and other income
which may become due during the life of the Note and this Mortgage. The Mortgagor agrees to
deposit with the Mortgagee upon demand such leases as may from time to time be designated by
the Mortgagee. Although it is the intention of the parties that this shall be a present assignment, it
is expressly understood and agreed, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding,
that the Mortgagee shall not exercise any of the rights or powers herein conferred upon it until a
default shall occur under the terms and provisions of the Note and this Mortgage, but upon the
occurrence of any default the Mortgagee shall be entitled, upon notice to the tenants, to all rents
and other amounts then due under the leases and thereafter accruing, and this Mortgage shall
constitute a direction to and full authority to the tenants, lessees or other occupants of the premises
(hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Tenants") to pay all said amounts to the Mortgagee
without proof of the default relied upon. The Tenants are hereby irrevocably authorized to rely
upon and comply with any notice or demand by the Mortgagee for the payment to the Mortgagee
of any rental or other sums which may be or thereafter become due under the leases, or for the
Page 7 of 12
performance of any of the Tenants undertakings under the leases and shall have no right or duty to
inquire as to whether any default under this Mortgage has actually occurred or is then existing.
18. MORTGAGE CONSTITUTES SECURITY AGREEMENT. This Mortgage
also constitutes a security agreement as defined under the Uniform Commercial Code. The
Mortgagor hereby grants to the Mortgagee a security interest in and to all furniture, furnishings,
equipment, machinery, and personal property of every nature whatsoever now owned or hereafter
acquired by the Mortgagor located upon the Mortgaged Property together with all proceeds
therefrom and as further described in an exhibit to the Security Agreement of even date herewith,
if any. The Mortgagor shall execute any and all documents as the Mortgagee may request,
including, without limitation, financing statements pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code as
adopted by the State of Florida, to preserve and maintain the priority of the lien created hereby on
property which may be deemed personal property or fixtures. The Mortgagor hereby authorizes
and empowers the Mortgagee to execute and file on behalf of the Mortgagor all financing
statements and refiling and continuations thereof as the Mortgagee deems necessary or advisable
to create, preserve or protect said lien. The Mortgagor and Mortgagee expressly agree that the
filing of a financing statement shall never be construed as in anywise derogating from or impairing
the express declaration and intention of the parties hereto that all such personality located on or
utilized in connection with the real property encumbered by this Mortgage shall at all times and
for all purposes, in all proceedings both legal and equitable, be deemed a part of the real property
encumbered by this Mortgage.

condition and repair. Except for: (i) repairs or replacements for ordinary wear and tear or in the
ordinary course of management of the Mortgaged Property; (ii) tenant or similar improvements
and upgrades; and (iii) repairs, replacements, or other restorations in the event of a casualty or
condemnation that are performed in accordance with the Loan Agreement, the Mortgagor shall not
remove, demolish, alter or change the use of any building, structure or other improvement
presently or hereafter on the Land constituting any part of the Mortgaged Property without the
prior written consent of the Mortgagee. The Mortgagor shall not permit, commit or suffer any
waste, impairment or deterioration of the Mortgaged Property or of any part thereof, and will not
take any action which will increase the risk of fire or other hazard to the Mortgaged Property or to
any part thereof. The Mortgagor shall comply with all applicable local, state, and federal
regulations in regards to the Property.
(b) Except as otherwise provided in this Mortgage, no fixture, personal property or
other part of the Mortgaged Property shall be removed, demolished or altered, without the prior
written consent of the Mortgagee. The Mortgagor may sell or otherwise dispose of, free from the
lien of this Mortgage, furniture, furnishings, equipment, tools, appliances, machinery, fixtures or
appurtenances, subject to the lien hereof, which may become worn out, undesirable or obsolete,
only if they are replaced immediately with similar items of at least equal value which shall, without
further action, become subject to the lien of this Mortgage.
20. MORTGAGE SECURES INDEBTEDNESS. It is expressly agreed and
understood that this Mortgage secures the indebtedness and the obligation of the Mortgagor to the
Mortgagee with respect to the Note, as the same is evidenced by the Note, and all renewals,
Page 8 of 12
extensions and modifications thereof. This Mortgage shall not be deemed released, discharged or
satisfied until the entire indebtedness evidenced by the Note is paid in full.
21. MORTGAGEE'S REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. The Mortgagor agrees
that all rights of the Mortgagee hereunder shall be separate, distinct, and cumulative, and that none
shall be in exclusion of the other, and that no act of the Mortgagee shall be construed as an election
to proceed under any provision of covenant herein to the exclusion of any other, notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary.
22. FUTURE ADVANCES. Pursuant to the laws of the State of Florida, this
Mortgage shall secure not only the existing indebtedness evidenced by the Note, but also such
future advances as may be made by the Mortgagee to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Note,
this Mortgage, or any other Loan Document executed in connection herewith, whether or not such
advances are obligatory or are to be made at the option of the Mortgagee, or otherwise, and as are
made within twenty (20) years from the date hereof, to the same extent as if such future advances
were made on the date of the execution of this Mortgage. The total amount of indebtedness that
may be so secured may decrease or increase from time to time, but the total unpaid balance so
secured at one time shall not exceed one and a half times the face amount of the Note, plus interest
thereon, and any disbursements made for the payment of taxes, levies or insurance on the
Mortgaged Property with interest on such disbursements at the rate designated in the Note to apply
following a default thereunder.
23. INDEMNIFICATION. The Mortgagor hereby protects, indemnifies,
defends, and saves harmless the Mortgagee, its officers, directors, agents and employees, from and
against any and all liabilities, obligations, claims, damages, penalties, causes of action, costs and
expenses (including without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) imposed upon,
incurred by or asserted against the Mortgagee or any of such persons by reason of (a) ownership
of any interest in the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, (b) any accident, injury to or death
of persons or loss of or damage to property occurring on or about the Mortgaged Property or any
part thereof or the adjoining sidewalks, curbs, vaults and vault space, if any, streets or ways, (c)

sidewalks, curbs, vaults and vault space, if any, or any streets or ways, (d) any failure on the part
of the Mortgagor to perform or comply with any of the terms hereof or of any of the Loan

made by the Mortgagor herein or in any of the Loan Documents executed in connection herewith,
(e) any necessity to defend any of the right, title or interest conveyed by this Mortgage, (f) the
performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in respect

any part thereof. If any action, suit or proceeding is brought against the Mortgagee, or any of its
officers, directors, agents or employees, for any such reason, the Mortgagor, upon the request of
such party, will, at the Mortgagor's expense, cause such action, suit or proceeding to be resisted
and defended by counsel satisfactory to the Mortgagee or such person. Any amounts payable to
an indemnified party under this Section which are not paid within ten (10) days after written
demand therefor shall bear interest at the default rate of interest provided in the Note from the date
of such demand, and such amounts, together with such interest, shall be indebtedness secured by
Page 9 of 12
this Mortgage. The obligations of the Mortgagor under this Section shall survive any defeasance

Mortgagee shall have all remedies at law and equity for failure of the Mortgagor to carry out the
foregoing obligation, including but not limited to specific performance, damages, reasonable
attorneys' fees and court costs. This provision shall survive payment of the Note and termination
of this Mortgage.

to make the Loan evidenced by the Note, the Mortgagor represents and warrants that: (a) there are

provision of the Note and or this Mortgage.
27. NO WAIVER. It is expressly agreed and understood that a waiver by the
Mortgagee of any right or rights conferred to it hereunder with regard to any one transaction or
occurrence shall not be deemed a waiver of such right or rights to any subsequent transaction or
occurrence. It is further agreed that any forbearance or delay by the Mortgagee in the enforcement
of any right or remedy hereunder shall not constitute or be deemed a waiver of such right or
remedy.

amended, or released, the City Manager, or such person who hereafter is delegated such authority,
shall execute a written instrument in recordable form to be recorded in the Public Records of

release.
Section 8. Definitions: All capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings
provided in the HOME Loan Agreement.
Section 9. Severability: Invalidation of one of the provisions of this Covenant by judgment
of Court shall not affect any of the other provisions of the Covenant, which shall remain in full

servitude has been created to insure that these restrictions run with the land. For the term of this
Covenant, each and every contract, deed, or other instrument hereafter executed conveying the
Property or portion thereof shall expressly provide that such conveyance is subject to this
Covenant, provided, however, that the covenants contained herein shall survive and be effective

Property or portion thereof provides that such conveyance is subject to this Covenant.
Section 12. Governing Law and Venue. This Covenant shall be construed and enforced
pursuant to the laws of the State of Florida, excluding all principles of choice of laws, conflict of
laws and comity. Any action pursuant to a dispute under this Covenant must be brought in Miami -

arbitration, mediation, or other alternative dispute resolution mechanism, will take place in this
venue. The parties both waive any defense that venue in Miami -Dade County is not convenient.
Section 13. Floating Units. HOME -Assisted Units shall be handled as "Floating
Units," as described in 24 CFR 92.252(j). "In a project containing HOME -assisted and other units,
the participating jurisdiction may designate fixed or floating HOME units. This designation must
be made at the time of project commitment. Fixed units remain the same throughout the period of
affordability. Floating units are changed to maintain conformity with the requirements of this
section during the period of affordability so that the total number of housing units meeting the
requirements of this section remains the same, and each substituted unit is comparable in terms of
size, features, and number of bedrooms to the originally designated HOME -assisted unit."
Page 3 of 7
Section 14. Costs, Including Attorney's Fees. In the event litigation, arbitration, or
mediation, between the parties hereto, arises out of the terms of this Covenant, each party
shall be responsible for its own attorney's fees, costs, charges, and expenses through the
conclusion of all appellate proceedings, and including any final settlement or judgment.

RENT REGULATORY AGREEMENT FOR
JOSE MARTI VILLAS
THIS RENT REGULATORY AGREEMENT ("Regulatory Agreement") is entered into
this day of , 2024, between JOSE MARTI VILLAS LLC, a Florida
limited liability company (hereinafter referred to as "Borrower") and the CITY OF MIAMI, a
municipal corporation of the State of Florida (hereinafter referred to as the "City").
The execution of this Regulatory Agreement by the Borrower is in connection with the
loan of HOME Investment Partnerships Program ("HOME") funds, (the "Loan"), secured by
certain loan documents to be executed in connection therewith (the "Loan Documents"), for the
construction of a total of one hundred forty six (146) residential apartment units. Sixty-three (63)
of the residential apartment units will be HOME -assisted units (the "HOME -Assisted Units") of
that certain project known as Jose Marti Villas (hereinafter referred to as the "Project"). The Project
will be an eight -story mid -rise building located at 154 Southwest 17th Avenue and 455 Southwest
16th Avenue, Miami, Florida 33135, as more particularly described in Exhibit "A" attached hereto
and made a part hereof (hereinafter referred to as the "Property").
In accordance with the requirements set forth in (i) that certain HOME Loan Agreement to
be executed by the Borrower and the City for the HOME funds (the "Loan Agreement"), and (ii)
the other Loan documents of even date therewith between the Borrower and the City, sixty-three
(63) Project units are considered "HOME -Assisted" and all of the HOME -Assisted Units are
subject to the restrictions provided herein. The sixty-three (63) HOME -Assisted Units shall be
"floating" units, meaning that they are not specifically designated units, but that any sixty-three
(63) of the total one hundred forty six (146) Project units shall be, at any one time, in compliance
with the HOME -Assisted requirements set forth herein.
Borrower hereby agrees to the following terms, conditions and covenants until the end of
the Affordability Period:
(1) Occupancy Requirements. The HOME -Assisted Units shall be made available to
tenants who qualify under the occupancy requirements of 24 CFR Part 92
(hereinafter referred to as the "Regulation"). The HOME -Assisted Units are subject
to the restrictions provided therein and herein, including, but not limited to, the
following: Sixty-three (63) of the HOME Assisted Units shall be occupied by Very
Low -Income Households for the period of time commencing on the date of the
Close -Out of the Project and ending thirty (30) years thereafter (the "Affordability
Period"). As defined in the Regulation, Very Low -Income Households have
annual incomes that do not exceed fifty percent (50%) of area median income, as
determined by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (`HUD")
and adjusted for family size.
Maximum Rent Levels. The rents charged on all of the HOME -Assisted Units shall
be subject to the Regulation. Gross monthly rent charged on HOME -Assisted Units
occupied by tenants identified as Very -Low Income Households are subject to the
Page 1 of 10
maximum LOW HOME Rent published annually by HUD for each locality. The
LOW HOME Rent maximums for leases signed in Miami, Florida effective as of
April 1, 2024 are as follows:

The foregoing maximum rents include tenant paid utilities. Maximum rents will be
reduced for the amount of the applicable HUD Utility Allowance for any utilities paid
by the tenant. In no event will the monthly rent on a HOME -Assisted Unit exceed thirty
percent (30%) of the applicable percentage of area median income set forth in
Paragraph 1 above. Rents shall not be adjusted for changes in income or HUD
published maximums until lease renewal. In the event that the HOME Assisted Units
are also benefitted from a federal or state rent subsidy program, then the rents outlined
above may be set at the applicable rent standard established by that rent subsidy
program in compliance with 24 CFR 252 (b)(2). Notwithstanding anything in the
foregoing to the contrary, in the event that a HOME -Assisted Unit is occupied by a
participant of the Section 8 Voucher Program, and the applicable Section 8 office
permits rents higher than the Low HOME Rent Maximum outlined above, the rents
may be as allowed by the Section 8 office, provided that the resident's portion of the
rent does not exceed the thirty percent (30%) of the applicable percentage of area
median income set forth in Paragraph 1 above. Rents shall not be adjusted for changes
in income or HUD published maximums until lease renewal. In the event that the
HOME Assisted Units are also benefitted from a federal or state rent subsidy program,
then the rents outlined above may be set at the applicable rent standard established by
that rent subsidy program in compliance with 24 CFR 252 (b)(2).
(3) Income Re -certification. Tenant income for HOME -Assisted Units shall be
certified by the Borrower annually on the anniversary of each tenant's lease and
maintained in the tenant file, subject to inspection by the City, in accordance with this
Regulatory Agreement.
Page 2 of 10
g.
(4) Deposits and Pre -payments. Borrower shall not require, as a condition of occupancy
or leasing of any HOME -Assisted Unit, any other consideration or deposit from the
tenant, except for the prepayment of one month's rent and plus a security deposit not
to exceed one additional month's rent.
(5) Prohibited Lease Provisions. The Borrower's leases for HOME -Assisted Units shall
not contain any of the following provisions:
a. Agreement to be sued. A tenant lease may not contain a provision whereby
the tenant agrees to be sued, admits guilt or consents to judgment in favor
of the landlord in a lawsuit brought in connection with the lease.
b. Agreement regarding treatment of property. A tenant lease may not contain
a provision whereby the tenant agrees that the landlord may take, hold or
sell personal property of the tenant household without notice and a court
decision. This prohibition does not apply to personal property remaining in
the HOME -Assisted Unit after the tenant has moved out.
c. Waiver of notice. A tenant lease may not contain a provision whereby the
tenant agrees that the landlord may institute a lawsuit without notice to the
tenant.
d. Waiver of legal proceedings. A tenant lease may not contain a provision
whereby the tenant agrees that the landlord may evict the tenant or a
household member without instituting a civil court proceeding in which the
tenant has the opportunity to present a defense or before a court decision on
the rights of the parties.
e. Waiver of a jury trial. A tenant lease may not contain a provision whereby
the tenant agrees to waive any right to a jury trial.
f. Waiver of right to appeal a court decision. A tenant lease may not contain a
provision whereby the tenant agrees to waive the tenant's right to appeal or
otherwise challenge in court a court decision in connection with the lease.
Agreement to pay legal costs, regardless of outcome. A tenant lease may
not contain a provision whereby the tenant agrees to pay attorney's fees or
other legal costs even if the tenant wins the court proceeding brought by the
landlord against the tenant. The tenant, however, may be obligated to pay
costs if the tenant loses.
h. Excusing owner from responsibility. A tenant lease may not contain a
provision whereby the tenant agrees not to hold the landlord or the
landlord's agents legally responsible for any action or failure to act, whether
intentional or negligent.
(6) Annual Reporting. Each year, on the anniversary of the issuance of the certificate
of occupancy/certificate of completion for the Project, and at other times at the request
of the City, the Borrower shall furnish occupancy reports in a form approved by the
City, and shall provide the City with such other information as may be requested by the
City relative to income, expenses, assets, liabilities, contracts, operations, and condition
of the Project and/or the HOME -Assisted Units.
Page 3 of 10
(7) Inspections. The Borrower agrees to submit the HOME -Assisted Units to an annual
re -inspection to insure continuing compliance with all applicable housing codes,
federal and local housing quality standards and regulatory requirements. The Borrower
will be furnished a copy of the results of each inspection within thirty (30) days of
completion, and will be given thirty (30) days thereafter to correct any deficiencies or
violations.
At any time other than an annual inspection, the City may, in its discretion,
inspect any HOME -Assisted Unit. The Borrower and the tenant will be provided with
the results of the inspection and the time and the method of compliance and corrective
action that must be taken.
(_8) Record -keeping. The Property, the Project, including the HOME -Assisted Units,
equipment, buildings, plans, offices, apparatus, devices, books, contracts, records,
documents, and other papers relating thereto shall at all times be maintained in
reasonable condition for proper audit and shall be subject to examination and inspection
at any reasonable time by the City. Borrower shall keep copies of all written contracts
and other instruments which affect the HOME -Assisted Units, all or any of which may
be subject to inspection and examination by the City. Specifically, the foregoing
includes all records, calculations and information necessary to support tenant
occupancy eligibility and monthly rental charges in addition to all leases and written
notices to tenants with respect to the terms of this Regulatory Agreement, as required
by this Regulatory Agreement.
(9) Default. Upon the occurrence of a violation of any provision of this Regulatory
Agreement, the City shall give written notice thereof to the Borrower, by registered or
certified mail, addressed to the Borrower's address as stated in this Regulatory
Agreement, or to such other address(es) as may subsequently, upon appropriate written
notice thereof to the City, be designated by the Borrower. In the case of a Borrower
which is a corporation or partnership, notices may also be sent by the City to the address
of the corporation's chief executive officer or to all general partners, as applicable, at
the City's discretion. If such violation is not corrected to the City's satisfaction, within
thirty (30) days after the date such notice is mailed, or within such further time as the
City reasonably determines is necessary to correct the violation, without further notice
the City may declare a default under this Regulatory Agreement and under the Loan
Agreement and the Loan Documents executed in connection therewith, and may
proceed to initiate any or all remedies at law or in equity provided for in the event of a
