("Landlord ") and 5215 FLAGLER STREET, LLC, a Florida limited liability company
("Tenant") (collectively, Landlord and Tenant are the "Parties").
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant entered into that certain Ground Lease dated as of
December 10, 2024 (as amended, collectively, the "Lease" or "Ground Lease"), for premises
located 5215 West Flagler Street, Miami, Miami -Dade County, Florida, on which Tenant will
design, develop, construct and operate a multifamily development consisting of approximately 60
affordable housing units (the "Development", "Project" or the "Improvements"); and
WHEREAS, the Parties desire to modify certain terms and provisions of the Lease, as
more particularly described in this Amendment;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual obligations of the
parties set forth herein, Landlord and Tenant do hereby covenant and agree as follows:
1. Recitals; Defined Terms. The recitals set forth above are true, accurate and fully
incorporated by reference herein. All capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall
have the meaning given to such terms in the Lease.
2. Restoration. Section 4.04 of the Lease is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with
the following:
4.04 Restoration.
(a) _If the Improvements shall be damaged or destroyed in whole or in part,
Tenant shall give prompt notice thereof to Landlord. The net amount of all insurance
proceeds received by Tenant with respect to such damage or destruction, after deduction
of the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in collecting the same (the "Net
Proceeds"), shall, subject to the terms of any Permitted Leasehold Mortgage, be disbursed
by Landlord in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein to pay for the
costs and expenses of the Restoration (defined below), provided that (i) no Event of Default
(defined below) has occurred and remains uncured under this Ground Lease, (ii) except as
otherwise agreed to by Landlord and subject to the terms of any Permitted Leasehold
Mortgage, Tenant proceeds promptly after the insurance claims are settled with the
restoration, replacement, rebuilding or repair of the Improvements as nearly as possible to
the condition the Improvements were in immediately prior thereto (the "Restoration"),
(iii) the Restoration shall be done in compliance with all Applicable Laws, (iv) all costs
and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with making the Net Proceeds available
for the Restoration, including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and inspecting
engineer fees incurred by Landlord, shall be paid out of the Net Proceeds, (v) Landlord, in
its reasonable discretion and subject to the terms of the loan documents of the Senior
Leasehold Mortgagee (as defined below), shall have determined that the Restoration is in
its best interest, provided that Landlord hereby acknowledges and agrees that Restoration
of the Project is in Landlord's best interest from the date hereof through the end of the
initial fifteen (15) years of the tax credit compliance period pursuant to Section 42 of the
Code, and (vi) Tenant deposits sufficient additional funds which, when added to the Net
Proceeds, will pay for the costs and expenses of the Restoration. Notwithstanding anything
in the foregoing to the contrary, the Landlord and the Tenant acknowledge and agree that.
said Restoration obligations hereunder shall be limited to the availability of insurance
proceeds and all proceeds of any fire, hazard or other casualty insurance shall be paid to
the Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee holding the most senior Permitted Leasehold
Mortgage, or an independent trustee acceptable to such senior Permitted Leasehold
Mortgagee (the "Senior Leasehold Mortgagee"), and shall, subject to the Senior
Leasehold Mortgagee loan documents, be applied to rebuild, repair, or reconstruct the
Improvements in accordance with the provisions of this Lease. If the insurance proceeds
received are insufficient to complete the Restoration, Tenant shall nonetheless use
reasonable best efforts to complete the Restoration, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, to
the same condition as existed prior to the casualty. In the event that it is not lawful or
feasible to restore the Improvements to substantially the same condition in which they
existed prior to the occurrence of such casualty, and provided that all Permitted Leasehold
Mortgages are repaid in full and all Permitted Leasehold Mortgagees consent in writing to
the termination of this Lease, then Tenant may terminate this Lease (as to the entire
Premises and the Improvements or only to the portion of the Premises and the
Improvements affected by such casualty) by notice to Landlord, such termination to be
effective as of a date that is not less than thirty (30) calendar days after the date of such
notice to Landlord. In addition, Tenant and Landlord hereby agree that: (i) all Permitted
Leasehold Mortgagees shall be allowed to participate in the insurer's adjustment of losses
and resolution of any insurance claims, (ii) Landlord will receive no insurance proceeds
until the Improvements are restored and all Permitted Leasehold Mortgagees have been
repaid in full, and (c) all insurance proceeds remaining after Restoration is completed shall
be applied in accordance with the Senior Leasehold Mortgagee loan documents.
(b) Net Proceeds Held in Trust. Subject to the terms of any Permitted
Leasehold Mortgagee loan documents as to the holding and disbursement of the Net
Proceeds, the Net Proceeds shall be held in trust by Landlord and shall be paid by Landlord
to, or as directed by, Tenant from time to time during the course of the Restoration upon
the written request of Tenant if the work for which payment is requested has been done in
a good and workmanlike manner and substantially in accordance with the , plans and
specifications thereof, if any, and (i) either no mechanics' or other liens or encumbrances
on the Premises arising out of the Restoration exist or any such liens or encumbrances have
been stayed, discharged or bonded, and (ii) the balance of the Net Proceeds plus the balance
of any deficiency deposits given by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to the provisions of this
paragraph hereinafter set forth shall be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the cost of
the Restoration. Notwithstanding anything contained in the foregoing, or otherwise in this
Lease to the contrary, as long as the Tenant's leasehold interest is encumbered by any
Permitted Leasehold Mortgage, all insurance proceeds from casualty insurance as provided
herein shall be paid to and held by the Senior Leasehold Mortgagee, or an insurance trustee
selected by the Senior Leasehold Mortgagee pursuant to the terms of the Senior Leasehold
2
Mortgagee loan documents. The Permitted Leasehold Mortgagees shall have the right to
participate in adjustment of losses as to casualty insurance proceeds and any settlement
discussion relating to casualty or condemnation, and to approve any such final adjustment
or settlement.
(c) Disbursement of Net Proceeds. Subject to the terms of any Permitted
Leasehold Mortgage, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Net
Proceeds shall be less than $500,000.00, the Net Proceeds shall be disbursed directly to
Tenant for payment of costs of Restoration, and the Landlord shall not be entitled to hold
or disburse such Net Proceeds. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary,
all insurance proceeds received with respect to any casualty shall be held by the Senior
Leasehold Mortgagee and distributed in accordance with the Senior Leasehold Mortgagee
loan documents (so long as any Senior Leasehold Mortgage is encumbering the Premises)
or this Lease, as applicable.
(d) Discretion of Landlord. Landlord shall not be entitled to share in the
proceeds of any insurance policy except as specifically set forth herein and Landlord
further acknowledges that any and all excess insurance proceeds after all disbursements for
the Restoration have been completed shall belong to Tenant.
3. Permitted Leasehold Mortgages. Section 6.09 of the Lease is hereby deleted in its entirety
and replaced with the following:
6.09 Permitted Leasehold Mortgages. Neither Tenant nor any permitted successor in
interest to the Premises or any part thereof shall, without the prior written consent of
Landlord in each instance, engage in any financing or any other transaction creating any
mortgage or other encumbrance or lien upon the Premises, whether by express agreement
or operation of law, or suffer any encumbrance or lien to be made on or attach to the
Premises, except for the permitted encumbrances and leasehold mortgages securing
construction, interim or permanent financing of Tenant's leasehold interest in the Premises
(the "Permitted Leasehold Mortgages"). With respect to the Peiinitted Leasehold
Mortgages, the following provisions shall apply:
(a) When giving notice to Tenant with respect to any default (a "Default
Notice"), the Landlord will also send a copy of such notice to (i) RJ MT 5215 Hagler Street
Apartments L.L.C., a Florida limited liability company, and its respective successors
and/or assigns (the "Investor ") at: c/o Raymond James Affordable Housing Investments,
Inc., 880 Carillon Parkway, St. Petersburg, Florida 33716, Attention: Steven J. Kropf,
President, provided that each such Investor or Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee shall have
delivered to Landlord in writing a notice naming itself as an Investor or the holder of a
Permitted Leasehold Mortgage and registering the name and post office address to which
all notices and other communications to it may be addressed. Any Default Notice given
hereunder shall specify the defaults which are the subject of the Default Notice. A
Permitted Leasehold Mortgage shall include a leasehold mortgage that is assignedby a
Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee to a lender (or to a trustee or fiscal agent for the benefit of
such lender) as contemplated in the loan documents, as collateral to secure one or more
3
loans made by the lender to the assignor Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee, the proceeds of
which were used by the assignor Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee to provide Project
financing to Tenant (a "Collateralized Leasehold Mortgage"). The holder of a
Collateralized Leasehold Mortgage shall be deemed a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee and
shall have all of the same rights conferred upon a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee under
this Lease. -
(b) Each Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee and the Investor shall be permitted,
but not obligated, to cure any default under this Ground Lease within the same period of
time specified for Tenant to cure such default, or such longer time as is permitted in Section
6.09(d), below. No Default Notice or other written notice by Landlord to Tenant under this
Ground Lease shall be effective unless Landlord has delivered a copy of the notice to each
Investor and each Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee whose notice information has been
provided to Landlord. Tenant authorizes the Investor and each Permitted Leasehold
Mortgagee to take any such action at such party's option and does hereby authorize entry
upon the Premises for such purpose. Additionally, Tenant may delegate irrevocably to any
Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee the authority to exercise any or all of Tenant's rights
hereunder, including, but not limited to the right of Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee to
participate (in conjunction with or to the exclusion of Tenant) in any proceeding, arbitration
or settlement involving a Casualty, condemnation or eminent domain affecting Tenant's
leasehold interest in the Premises, but no such delegation shall be binding upon Landlord
unless and until either Tenant or the Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee in question shall give
to Landlord a true copy of a written instrument effecting such delegation. Any provision
of this Ground Lease that gives a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee the privilege of
exercising a particular right of Tenant hereunder on condition that Tenant shall have failed
to exercise such right shall not be deemed to diminish any privilege that Permitted
Leasehold Mortgagee may have, by virtue of a delegation of authority from Tenant, to
exercise such right without regard to whether or not Tenant shall have failed to exercise
such right.
(c) Landlord agrees to accept payment or performance by any Permitted
Leasehold Mortgagee or the Investor as though the same had been done by Tenant.
(d) In the case of a default other than in the payment of money, and provided
that a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee has commenced to cure the default and is proceeding
with due diligence to cure the default, Landlord will refrain from terminating this Ground
Lease for a reasonable period of time (not to exceed one hundred twenty (120) calendar
days from the date of the notice of default) within which time the Permitted Leasehold
Mortgagee may either (i) obtain possession of the Premises (including possession by
receiver); (ii) institute foreclosure proceedings and complete such foreclosure; or (iii)
otherwise acquire Tenant's interest under this Ground Lease. The Permitted Leasehold
Mortgagee shall not be required to continue such possession or continue such foreclosure
proceedings if the default which was the subject of the notice shall have been cured. In the
case of a default by the Tenant of any monetary obligation, and provided that a Permitted
Leasehold Mortgagee has commenced to cure the default and is proceeding with due
4
diligence to cure the default, the Landlord will refrain from terminating this Lease for a
period of at least five (5) days from the end of any grace period applicable to Tenant.
(e) Any Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee or other acquirer of Tenant's leasehold
estate and interest in this Ground Lease pursuant to foreclosure, an assignment in lieu of
foreclosure or other proceedings, any of which are permitted without Landlord's consent,
may, upon acquiring Tenant's leasehold estate and interest in this Ground Lease, without
further consent of Landlord, sell and assign the leasehold estate and interest in this Ground
Lease on such terms and to such persons and organizations as are acceptable to such
Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee or acquirer and thereafter be relieved of all obligations
under this Ground Lease, provided such assignee has delivered to Landlord its written
agreement to be bound by all of the provisions of this Ground Lease.
(f) In the event of a termination of this Ground Lease prior to its stated
expiration date, Landlord will enter into a new lease for the Premises with the Permitted
Leasehold Mortgagee (or its nominee) ("Replacement Tenant"), for the remainder of the
Lease Term, effective as of the date of such termination (the "New Lease"), at the same
Base Rent and Additional Rent and subject to the same covenants and agreements, terms,
provisions, and limitations herein contained, provided that:
(i) Landlord receives the Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee's written
request for such New Lease within thirty (30) calendar days from the date of such
termination and notice thereof by Landlord to the Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee
(including an itemization of amounts then due and owing to Landlord under this Ground
Lease) (a "Termination Notice"), and such written request is accompanied by payment to
Landlord of all itemized amounts then due and owing to Landlord under this Ground Lease
described in the Termination Notice and, within ten (10) calendar days after the delivery
of an accounting therefor by Landlord, pays any and all costs and expenses, including
reasonable counsel fees, court costs, and disbursements made by Landlord in connection
with any such default and termination as well as in connection with the execution and
delivery of the New Lease, less the net income collected by Landlord from the Premises
subsequent to the date of termination of this Ground Lease and prior to the execution arid
delivery of the New Lease, any excess of such net income over the aforesaid sums and
expenses to be applied in payment of the Base Rent and Additional Rent thereafter
becoming due under the New Lease;
(ii) Upon the execution and delivery of the New Lease at the time
payment is made in (i) above, all subleases which thereafter may have been assigned and
transferred to Landlord shall thereupon be assigned and transferred without recourse by
Landlord to Replacement Tenant.
(iii) If a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee acquires the leasehold estate
created hereunder or otherwise acquires possession of the Premises pursuant to available
legal remedies, Landlord will look to such acquirer to perform the obligations of Tenant
hereunder. Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee's liability shall be limited to the value of such
5
Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee's interest in this Lease and in the leasehold estate created
hereby.
(iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the New Lease shall be subject to
the liens of the Permitted Leasehold Mortgages which existed immediately prior to the
termination of this Ground Lease (other than that of Replacement Tenant) and, further,
shall not impact the rights, priorities and interests of the Permitted Leasehold Mortgagees
set forth therein.
If at the time of termination of this Ground Lease prior to its stated expiration date there
exists more than one Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee, then references to the "Permitted
Leasehold Mortgagee" in this subsection (f) shall apply to the Senior Leasehold Mortgagee.
(g) At no time shall Landlord's fee title in the Premises, or Landlord's interest
in the Ground Lease be subordinated in any manner to the interests of any Permitted Mortgagee
or any person claiming by or through Tenant. Landlord shall reasonably consider such
amendments to this.Lease as may be reasonably requested by any Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee,
provided that such amendments do not increase, or in the sole opinion of the Landlord,
unreasonably alter the obligations of Landlord under this Lease.
4. Condemnation. Section 10.02 of the Lease is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced
with the following:
10.02 Condemnation.
(a) Taking. If, by exercise of the right of eminent domain or by conveyance
made in response to the threat of the exercise of such right (in either case a "Taking"), all
of the Premises are taken, or if so much of the Premises are taken that Tenant believes the
Premises cannot be used by Tenant for the purposes for which they were used immediately
before the Taking, then this Ground Lease shall terminate on the earlier of the vesting of
title to the Premises in the condemning authority, or the taking of possession of the
Premises by the condemning authority.
(b) Condemnation Award. Subject to the terms of the Senior Leasehold
Mortgagee loan documents, Landlord and Tenant agree that, in the event of a Taking that
does not result in the termination of this Ground Lease pursuant to subsection (a) above,
this Ground Lease shall continue in effect as to the remainder of the Premises, and the net
amounts owed or paid to Landlord or pursuant to any agreement with any condemning
authority which has been made in settlement of any proceeding relating to a Taking, less
any costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in collecting such award or payment (the
"Award") will be disbursed in accordance with subsection (d) below to Landlord and/or
Tenant. Tenant and, to the extent permitted by law, any Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee,
shall have the right to participate in settlement negotiations with a condemning authority.
Permitted Leasehold Mortgagees shall receive notice of any Taking (as defined herein),
and, in order of their respective priority, shall at all times have the right to participate in
the adjustment and resolution of any Taking claim. In the event of any Taking, the Senior
Leasehold Mortgagee or an independent trustee acceptable to such senior. Permitted
6
Leasehold Mortgagee shall initially receive all condemnation proceeds respecting such
Taking, shall hold and distribute the same in accordance with this Lease and the relevant
Permitted Leasehold Mortgage and all Permitted Leasehold Mortgagees shall be allowed
to participate in the Taking proceedings.
(c) Total Taking. In the event of a permanent Taking of the fee simple interest
or title of the Premises, or control of the entire leasehold estate hereunder (a "Total
Taking"), this Lease shall thereupon terminate as of the effective date of such Total
Taking, without liability or further recourse to the parties, provided that each party shall
remain liable for any obligations required to be performed prior to the effective date of
such termination and for any other obligations under this Lease which are expressly
intended to survive termination. Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease or by
operation of law that leasehold improvements may be or shall become the property of
Landlord at the termination of this Lease, the loss of the building and other improvements
paid for by Tenant, the loss of Tenant's leasehold estate and such additional relief as may
be provided by law shall be the basis of Tenant's damages against the condemning authority
if a separate claim therefore is allowable under applicable law, or the basis of Tenant's
damages to a portion of the total award if only one award is made.
(d) Partial Taking. In the event of a permanent Taking of less than all of the
Premises (a "Partial Taking"), if Tenant reasonably determines that the continued
development, use or occupancy of the remainder of the Premises by Tenant cannot
reasonably be made to be economically viable, structurally sound, then Tenant may
terminate this Lease, and the Tenant's portion of the Award shall be paid to Tenant,
provided that any and all obligations of Tenant have been fully and completely complied
with by Tenant as of the date of said Partial Taking. If Tenant shall not elect to terminate
this Lease, Tenant shall be entitled to a reduction of rent of such amount as shall be just
and equitable. Subject to the terms of the Permitted Leasehold Mortgages, if there is a
Partial Taking and the Tenant does not terminate this Lease, the Tenant shall be entitled to
receive and retain an equitable portion of the Award andshall apply such portion of the
Award necessary to repair or restore the Premises or the Improvements as nearly as
possible to the condition the Premises or the Improvements were in immediately prior to
such Partial Taking. Subject to the terms of the Permitted Leasehold Mortgages, if there
is a Partial Taking which affects the use of the Premises after the term hereof, the Award
shall be apportioned between the Tenant and the Landlord based on the ratio of the
remaining term hereof and the remaining expected useful life of the Premises following the
term hereof. Subject to the terms of the Permitted Leasehold Mortgages, notwithstanding
any provision herein to the contrary, the Landlord shall be entitled to receive and retain
any portion of the Award` apportioned to the land upon which the Improvements are
located. Should such award be insufficient to accomplish the restoration, such additional
costs shall be paid by Tenant. Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease or by operation
of law that leasehold improvements may be or shall become the property of Landlord at
the termination of this Lease, the loss of the building and other improvements paid for by
Tenant and such additional relief as may be provided by law shall be the basis of Tenant's
damages against the condemning authority if a separate claim therefore is allowable under
7
applicable law, or the basis of Tenant's damages to a portion of the total award if only one
award is made.
(e) Resolution of Disagreements. Should Landlord and Tenant be unable to
agree as to the division of any singular award or the amount of any reduction of rents and
other. charges payable by Tenant under this Lease, such dispute shall be submitted for
resolution to the court exercising jurisdiction of the condemnation proceedings, each party
bearing its respective costs for such determination. Landlord shall not agree to any
settlement in lieu of condemnation with the condemning authority without Tenant's
consent. Notwithstanding the forgoing, so long as any Permitted Leasehold Mortgage is
outstanding, any Award payable to the Tenant shall be paid to the Senior Leasehold
Mortgagee, which Award must be at least the value of the total Award, minus the value of
the land taken (considered as unimproved, but encumbered by this Lease).
(f) No Existing Condemnation. Landlord represents and warrants that as of the
Effective Date it has no actual or constructive knowledge of any proposed condemnation
of any part of the Premises. In the event that subsequent to the Lease Date, but prior to the
Commencement Date, a total or partial condemnation either permanent or temporary, is
initiated by any competent authority, Tenant shall be under no obligation to commence or
continue construction of the building and other improvements and rent and other charges,
if any, payable by Tenant under this Lease shall abate until such time as it can be reasonably
ascertained that the Premises shall not be so affected. In the event the Premises is so
affected, Tenant shall be entitled to all rights, damages and awards pursuant to the
appropriate provisions of this Lease.
(g) Termination upon Non -Restoration. Following a Partial Taking, if a
decision is made pursuant to this Section 10.02 that the remaining portion of the Premises
is not to be restored, and Tenant shall have reasonably determined that the continued
development, use or occupancy of the remainder of the Premises by Tenant cannot be made
economically viable or structurally sound, Tenant shall surrender the entire remaining
portion of the Premises to Landlord and this Lease shall thereupon be terminated without
liability or further recourse to the parties hereto, provided that any Rent, impositions and
other amounts payable or obligations hereunder owed by Tenant to Landlord as of the date
of the Partial Taking shall be paid in full.
5. Amendment. Section 15.09 of the Lease is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with
the following:
15.09 Amendment. This Ground Lease may be amended by mutual agreement of Landlord
and Tenant, provided that all amendments must be in writing and signed by both parties
and that no amendment shall impair the obligations of Tenant to develop and operate the
Premises. Tenant and Landlord hereby expressly stipulate and agree that, they will not
materially modify this Lease in any way nor cancel or terminate this Lease by mutual
agreement nor will Tenant surrender its interest in this Ground Lease, including but not
limited to pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.02, without the prior written consent of
all Permitted Leasehold Mortgagees and, following the admission of the Investor, the
8
Tenant's Investor. No amendment to or termination of this Ground Lease shall become
effective without all such required consents. "Tenant and Landlord further agree that they
will not, respectively, take advantage of any provisions of the United States Bankruptcy
Code that would result in a termination of this Lease or make it unenforceable.
6. Landlord Encumbrances. The Landlord hereby agrees that it shall not enter into any
mortgage encumbering the fee estate in the Premises, during the Term of this Lease, unless the
beneficiary of such mortgage grants and provides written subordination of the fee mortgage to the
Permitted Leasehold Mortgagees.
7. HUD Rider. The HUD Rider attached hereto as Exhibit "A" is hereby incorporated into
this Lease by this reference as if it were fully set forth herein.
8. Ratification; No Further Amendments. Except as provided herein, the Lease has not been
and is not amended or modified in any way, is in full force and effect and is ratified by Landlord
and Tenant. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Lease and the terms of this
Amendment, the terms of this Amendment shall control.
9. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts, which, taken
together, shall constitute a single document.

HUD's written consent thereto (which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld so long as, in
Landlord's and HUD's judgment such alteration, improvement, addition or demolition will not
violate the Applicable Public Housing Requirements or this Lease, or impair the value of the
Property). HUD's right under the preceding sentence shall be extinguished upon the release of the
Declaration of Restrictive Covenants in favor of HUD encumbering the Leased Premises. Any
improvements made to the Leased Premises by either party hereto shall be made only in good and
workmanlike manner using new, materials of the same quality as the original improvements, and
in accordance with all applicable building codes and the Applicable Public Housing Requirements.
HUD's Rights on Event of Default.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default that also constitutes a substantial default under the
ACC, HUD may:
(1) In the case of substantial default by the Housing Authority during the term of the R&O
Agreement, and so long as the Tenant shall not be in default of its obligations thereunder, HUD
may exercise any remedies or sanctions authorized under the ACC, including (a) taking possession
of the Housing Authority's interest in the Project, if any, in such a manner as not to disturb the
R&O Agreement or (b) requiring the Housing Authority to terminate the provision of future
Operating Fund assistance on behalf of the Public Housing Units and requiring the Public Housing
Units to be removed from the ACC.
(2) In the case of a substantial default by the Tenant during the term of the R&O
Agreement, HUD may take such actions, and pursue such remedies, against the Tenant as it deems
necessary, including (but not limited to) requiring the Housing Authority to terminate the provision
of future Operating Fund assistance on behalf of the Public Housing Units and requiring the Public
Housing Unit to be removed from the ACC.
(3) exercise any other right or remedy existing under applicable law, or available at equity.
HUD's exercise or non -exercise of any right or remedy under the ACC shall not be construed as a
waiver of HUD's right to exercise that or any other right or remedy at any time.
(4) If HUD acquires title to, or possession of, the Project, HUD shall reconvey, or redeliver
possession of, the Project to the Landlord and Tenant in accordance with their respective interests
3
in the Project: (i) upon a determination by HUD that the substantial default under the ACC has
been cured and that the Project will thereafter be operated in accordance with the terms of the
ACC; or (ii) after the termination of HUD's obligation to make annual contributions available,
unless there are any obligations or covenants of the Landlord to HUD that are then in default.
Transfers. Tenant shall not transfer or encumber the Premises or any interest therein
except as permitted under the DORC.
Restoration. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Lease and the
provisions of Section 11 of the ACC, the provisions of Section 11 of the ACC shall control.
Notice. If Landlord gives notice of default to Tenant under the Lease, Landlord shall give
a copy of such notice to the Housing Authority and to HUD in the same manner of notice as is
provided for in the Lease; provided, however, that the failure of any such party to receive any such
notice shall not be a defense against any action taken or to be taken by Landlord against Tenant
under the Lease. Such notice shall be given at the addresses set forth below:

Requirements.
Disclaimer of Partnership Status.
Tenant and Landlord acknowledge that the proposed transfer to Tenant, or to any
other participating party in the Development, of public housing funds for the development and
operation of the Public Housing Units covered under this Lease shall not be deemed to be an
assignment of such funds. Accordingly, neither Tenant, nor any other participating party, shall
succeed to any rights or benefits of the Landlord under the ACC. Tenant further agrees to include
this disclaimer in each of its agreements or contracts with any partner, participating party, or any
other party involving the use of public housing funds for the Development.
Nothing contained in the ACC, or in any agreement between Landlord and Tenant,
nor any act of HUD or Landlord, shall be deemed or construed to create any relationship of third -
party beneficiary, principal and agent, limited or general partnership, or joint venture involving
HUD.
Access. Tenant agrees to grant a right of access to the Landlord, HUD, the Comptroller
General of the United States, or any of their authorized representatives, with respect to any books,

Termination of Rider upon RAD Conversion. This Development is being developed
under the Faircloth to the Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) program, which permits public
housing agencies to leverage their existing public housing Faircloth authority to create new
federally assisted housing through the RAD program. Pursuant to the Faircloth to RAD program,
the Development will be developed as public housing using HUD's public housing mixed -finance
program with a pre -approval to convert the property to a long-term housing assistance contract
following the financial closing and construction of the mixed -finance public housing units. Upon
completion of construction of the units and conversion to the RAD program, as evidenced by the
recording of a RAD Use Agreement against the Development, the Development shall no longer be
public housing and shall no longer be subject to public housing requirements, including the
Applicable Public Housing Requirements and the terms of this Public Housing Provisions Rider,
which shall terminate and no longer be of any force or effect with respect to the Development.
RAD Required Provisions
In addition to entering into this Lease, Landlord and Tenant also contemplate the provision
of rental assistance to the Development pursuant to a Housing Assistance Payment Contract ("HAP
Contract") upon conversion to the Rental Assistance Demonstration ("RAD"). If a HAP Contract
is entered into pursuant to RAD, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
("HUD") will require Landlord and Tenant to enter into a RAD Use Agreement ("Use
Agreement") in connection with the provision of rental assistance to the Development.
Notwithstanding any other clause or provision in the Lease, upon execution of the Use Agreement
and for so long as the Use Agreement is ineffect, the following provisions shall apply:
5

continues in effect with respect to any future amendment, extension, renewal, or any other
modification of the Use Agreement or the Lease.
2..If any of the provisions of this Lease conflict with the terms of the Use Agreement, the
provisions of the Use Agreement shall control.
3. The provisions in this RAD Required Provisions rider are required to be inserted into
this Lease by HUD and may not be amended without HUD's prior written approval.
4. Violation of the Use Agreement constitutes a default of this Lease.
5. Notwithstanding any other contract, document or other arrangement, upon termination
of this Lease, title to the real property leased herein shall remain vested in Landlord and title to
the buildings, fixtures, improvements, trade fixtures and equipment that belong to Tenant shall
vest in Tenant.
6. Neither the Tenant nor any of its members shall have any authority to:
a. Take any action in violation of the Use Agreement; or
b. Fail to renew the HAP Contract upon such terms and conditions applicable at
the time of renewal when offered for renewal by Housing Authority or HUD.
c. Except to the extent permitted by the HAP Contract or Use Agreement and the
normal operation of the Development, , neither the Tenant nor any members
shall have any authority without the consent of the Housing Authority to sell,
transfer, convey, assign, mortgage, pledge, sublease or otherwise dispose of, at
any time, the Development or any part thereof.
