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, after which the Project Sponsor shall have thirty (30) days to cure said default (except
for the events described in Section 7.1 (b) (d) and (m) above for which the aforementioned cure
period shall not apply). Said notice shall be delivered by certified mail, return receipt requested,
or by in person delivery with proof of delivery.
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
Page 28 of 37
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 cure 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) (d) and (m) 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 ARPA Funds. Demand that the Project Sponsor reimburse the
City for the ARPA Funds disbursed to the Project Sponsor pursuant to this
Agreement. The Project Sponsor shall reimburse City in the amount of the
ARPA Funds disbursed to the Project Sponsor pursuant to this Agreement.
(c) Acceleration of Debt. It is expressly agreed that the full amount of both
principal and interest due pursuant to the Note shall become due and
payable at the option of the City on the happening of any Event of Default
under the terms of this Loan Agreement.
(d) 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 ARPA
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, general contractor, or supplier, shall have any interest in the ARPA 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 a default under 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.
Page 29 of 37
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 default, 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 Project Sponsor shall further require its contractors and
subcontractors to indemnify, hold harmless and defend the City, its officers, agents, directors,
and/or employees against any and all liabilities, claims, damages, suits, judgments and costs,
including attorney's fees arising out of, or resulting from the contractor's negligence or omissions
in connection with this project.
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.
Page 30 of 37
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 general and 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
TERMINATION
The Project Sponsor acknowledges that this Agreement may be terminated if the Project
Sponsor materially fails to comply with the terms contained herein.
10.1 Termination Because of Lack of Funds. In the event the City does not receive
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 determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that either the Project
Sponsor is not making sufficient progress with regard to the Project's construction (thereby
endangering its ultimate performance under this Agreement) or is not materially complying with
any term or provision of this Agreement following the giving of notice and the expiration of all
applicable cure periods.
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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
stated herein, the City shall review and analyze breaches of the timelines/benchmarks stated in
Section 6.1, and may, in City's sole and absolute discretion, revisit and analyze the Project's
progress to determine whether said timelines/benchmarks may be extended.
Page 31 of 37
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 or withhold payments to the Project Sponsor, pending
necessary corrective action by the Project Sponsor, and may include:
(a) Ineffective or improper use of the ARPA Funds by the Project Sponsor;
(b) Failure of the Project Sponsor to materially comply with any term or
provision of this Agreement;
(c) Failure of the Project Sponsor to submit any documents required by this
Agreement; or
(d) The Project Sponsor's submittal of incorrect or incomplete documents.
11.2 The determinations and actions described in paragraph 11.1 above may be applied
to all or any part of the activities funded pursuant to this Agreement.
11.3 The City will notify the Project Sponsor in writing of the type of action taken
pursuant to this Article, by certified mail, return receipt requested, or by in person delivery with
proof of delivery. The notification will include the reason(s) for such action, any conditions
relating to the action, and the necessary corrective action(s).
ARTICLE XII
MISCELLANEOUS
12.1 Enforcement Methods. As a means of enforcing compliance with the ARPA
Program, the City may utilize any enforcement measures it deems necessary as set forth in the
Agreement.
12.2 Renegotiation or Modification. Modification of provisions of this Agreement shall
be valid only when in writing and signed by the Parties. The parties agree to modify this
Agreement if the City determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that federal, state, and/or
local governmental revisions of any applicable laws or regulations, or increases or decreases in
Page 32 of 37
budget allocations, make changes to this Agreement necessary. The City shall be the final
authority in determining whether or not funds for this Agreement are available due to federal, state
and/or local governmental revisions of any applicable laws or regulations, or increases or decreases
in budget allocations. Moreover, the City shall determine in its reasonable discretion whether to
subordinate the Mortgage.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary contained herein, the parties acknowledge
and agree that the ARPA Funds will be used to purchase the Property, but also additional parcels
of land between the Effective Date and December 31, 2023 ("Land Acquisitions"). The parties
acknowledge that the appropriate Loan Documents will be amended to encumber the parcels that
Project Sponsor identifies and the ARPA Funds for those Land Acquisitions will be disbursed in
compliance with the Disbursement Agreement, attached and incorporated as Exhibit "D."
12.3 Right to Waive. The City may, for good and sufficient cause, as determined by the
City in its sole and absolute discretion, waive provisions of this Agreement or seek to obtain such
waiver from an appropriate authority. Waiver requests from the Project Sponsor shall be in
writing. A waiver shall not be construed to be a modification of this Agreement.
12.4 Budget and ARPA Eligibility Activity Title Revisions. Revisions to the Budget
shall be made in writing, and approved in writing by the City; however, such revisions shall not
necessitate an amendment hereto unless the amount of the ARPA Loan to be granted hereunder is
changed, or unless otherwise required by the City.
A revision to the ARPA eligibility activity titles under which this Agreement's objectives
are classified shall not require an amendment hereto.
12.5 Disputes. In the event an unresolved dispute exists between the Project Sponsor
and the City, the City shall refer the issue, including the views of all interested parties and the
recommendation of the City, to the City Manager, his designee, or such other official of the City
who shall be authorized to exercise the authority of the City Manager in this regard (the "City
Manager") for determination. The City Manager will issue a determination within thirty (30)
calendar days of receipt of a written request for resolution of the dispute and so advise the City
and the Project Sponsor. In the event additional time is necessary, the City Manager will notify the
interested parties within the thirty (30) day period that additional time is necessary. The Project
Sponsor agrees that the City Manager's determination shall be final and binding on all parties,
subject only to judicial review.

6. Evaluation of Marketing Activities
Explain the evaluation process you will use to determine whether your marketing activities have been successful in attracting
individuals least likely to apply, how often you will make this determination, and how you will make decisions about future marketing
based on the evaluation process.
There is no external marketing required. There are direct links with agencies providing foster care that are charged with
developing plans for these young people to transition to independent housing. Those agencies provide referrals and currently
there is insufficient inventory to meet the demand for the housing. Once the project is completed the agencies will be notified of
the increased capacity and there will be little to no need for marketing because of the insufficient supply of housing for this
special population.

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
construction, substantial rehabilitation, and existing project marketing and advertising activities.
An AFHM program, as specified in this Plan, shall be in effect for each multifamily project throughout the life of the mortgage (24 CFR
200.620(a)). The AFHMP, once approved by HUD, must be made available for public inspection at the sales or rental offices of the
respondent (24 CFR 200.625) and may not be revised without HUD approval. This form contains no questions of a confidential nature.
Applicability: The form and worksheets must be completed and submitted by all FHA subsidized and unsubsidized multifamily
housing program applicants.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Send completed form and worksheets to your local HUD Office, Attention: Director, Office of Housing
Part 1: Applicant/Respondent and Project
Identification. Blocks 1 a, 1 b, lc, 1 g, lh, and li are self-
explanatory.
Block ld- Respondents may obtain the Census tract
number from the U.S. Census Bureau
(http://factfinder2.census.gov/main.html) when
completing Worksheet One.
Block 1e- Respondents should identify both the housing
market area and the expanded housing market area for
their multifamily housing projects. Use abbreviations if
necessary. A housing market area is the area from
which a multifamily housing project owner/agent may

tenants. This could be a county or Metropolitan Division.
The U.S. Census Bureau provides a range of levels to
draw from.
An expanded housing market area is a larger
geographic area, such as a Metropolitan Division or a
Metropolitan Statistical Area, which may provide
additional demographic diversity in terms of race, color,
national origin, religion, sex, familial status, or disability.
Block 1f- The applicant should complete this block only if
a Managing Agent (the agent cannot be the applicant) is
implementing the AFHMP.
Part 2: Type of AFHMP
Block 2a- Respondents should indicate the status of the
AFHMP, i.e., initial or updated, as well as the date of the
first approved AFHMP. Respondents should also provide
the reason (s) for the current update, whether the update is
based on the five-year review or due to significant changes
in project or local demographics (See instructions for Part
9).
Block 2b- Respondents should identify all groups HUD has
approved for occupancy in the subject project, in
accordance with the contract, grant, etc.
Block 2c- Respondents should specify the date the project
was/will be first occupied.
Block 2d- For new construction and substantial
rehabilitation projects, advertising must begin at least 90
days prior to initial occupancy. In the case of existing
projects, respondents should indicate whether the
advertising will be used to fill existing vacancies, to place
individuals on the project's waiting list, or to re -open a
closed waiting list. Please indicate how many people are
on the waiting list when advertising begins.

Part 3 Demographics and Marketing Area.
"Least likely to apply" means that there is an
identifiable presence of a specific demographic
group in the housing market area, but members of
that group are not likely to apply for the housing
without targeted outreach, including marketing
materials in other languages for limited English
proficient individuals, and alternative formats for
persons with disabilities. Reasons for not applying
may include, but are not limited to, insufficient
information about housing opportunities, language
barriers, or transportation impediments.
Block 3a - Using Worksheet 1, the respondent
should indicate the demographic composition of the
project's residents, current project applicant data,
census tract, housing market area, and expanded housing
market area. The applicable housing market area
and expanded housing market area should be indicated
in Block 1 e. Compare groups within rows/across columns on
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
class that has an identifiable presence in the housing market area,
but is not included in Worksheet 1, please specify under "Other."
Respondents should use the most current demographic
data from the U.S. Census or another official source such
as a local government planning office. Please indicate the
source of your data in Part 8 of this form.
Block 3b - Using the information from the completed
Worksheet 1, respondents should identify the
demographic group(s) least likely to apply for the
housing without special outreach efforts by checking
all that apply.
Part 4 - Marketing Program and Residency Preference (if
any).
Block 4a - A residency preference is a preference for
admission of persons who reside or work in a specified
geographic area (see 24 CFR 5.655(c)(1)(ii)). Respondents
should indicate whether a residency preference is being
utilized, and if so, respondents should specify if it is new,
revised, or continuing. If a respondent wishes to utilize a
residency preference, it must state the preference area (and
provide a map delineating the precise area) and state the
reason for having such a preference. The respondent must
ensure that the preference is in accordance with the non-
discrimination and equal opportunity requirements in 24 CFR
5.105(a) (see 24 CFR 5.655(c)(1)).
Respondents should use Worksheet 2 to show how the
percentage of the eligible population living or working in the
residency preference area compares to that of residents of the project,
project applicant data, census tract, housing market area, and
expanded housing market area. The percentages would be the same as
shown on completed Worksheet 1.
Block 4b - Using Worksheet 3, respondents should describe
their use of community contacts to help market the project to those
least likely to apply. This table should include the name of a
contact person, his/her address, telephone number, previous
experience working with the target population(s), the
approximate date contact was/will be initiated, and the specific
role the community contact will play in assisting with affirmative
fair housing marketing or outreach.
Block 4c - Using Worksheet 4, respondents should describe
their proposed method(s) of advertising to market to those
least likely to apply. This table should identify each media
option, the reason for choosing this media, and the language
of the advertisement. Alternative format(s) that will be used to reach
persons with disabilities, and logo(s) that will appear on the
various materials (as well as their size) should be described.
Please attach a copy of the advertising or marketing material.
Part 5 — Availability of the Fair Housing Poster, AFHMP,
and Project Site Sign.
Block 5a - The Fair Housing Poster must be prominently
displayed in all offices in which sale or rental activity takes
place (24 CFR 200.620(e)). Respondents should indicate all
locations where the Fair Housing Poster will be displayed.
Block 5b -The AFHMP must be available for public inspection
at the sales or rental office (24 CFR 200.625). Check all of the
locations where the AFHMP will be available.
Block 5c -The Project Site Sign must display in a conspicuous
position the HUD -approved Equal Housing Opportunity logo,
slogan, or statement (24 CFR 200.620(f)). Respondents should
indicate where the Project Site Sign will be displayed, as well

Part 9 - Review and Update.
Part 6 - Evaluation of Marketing Activities.
Respondents should explain the evaluation process to be used
to determine if they have been successful in attracting those
individuals identified as least likely to apply. Respondents
should also explain how they will make decisions about future
marketing activities based on the evaluations.
Part 7- Marketing Staff and Training.
Block 7a -Respondents should identify staff positions that
are/will be responsible for affirmative marketing.
Block 7b - Respondents should indicate whether staff has been
trained on the AFHMP and Fair Housing Act.
Please indicate who provides the training and how frequently.
In addition, respondents should specify whether they periodically
assess staff members' skills in using the AFHMP and in applying
the Fair Housing Act. They should state how often
they assess employee skills and how they conduct the
assessment.
Block 7c - Respondents should indicate whether staff has been
trained on tenant selection in accordance with the project's
occupancy policy, including residency preferences (if any).
Respondents should also identify those staff positions that
are/will be responsible for tenant selection.
Block 7d - Respondents should include copies of any written
materials related to staff training, and identify the dates of past
and anticipated training.
Part 8 - Additional Considerations.
Respondents should describe their efforts not previously
mentioned that were/are planned to attract those individuals
least likely to apply for the subject housing.
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.

certain demographic groups in terms of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status, or disability. If there is significant
under -representation of any demographic group among project residents or current applicants in relation to the housing/expanded
housing market area, then targeted outreach and marketing should be directed towards these individuals least likely to apply. Please
