event of a Bankruptcy Proceeding, Subordinate Lender will not vote affirmatively
in favor of any plan of reorganization or liquidation unless Senior Lender has also
voted affirmatively in favor of such plan.

(a) Notice of Subordinate Loan Default and Cure Rights.
(i)
Subordinate Lender will deliver to Senior Lender a copy of each Notice
delivered by Subordinate Lender pursuant to the Subordinate Loan
Documents within 5 Business Days of sending such Notice to Borrower.

Lender to Borrower.
Subordination Agreement — Governmental Entity- City of Miami Page 7
(ii) For a period of 90 days following delivery to Senior Lender of an
Enforcement Action Notice, Senior Lender will have the right, but not the
obligation, to cure any Subordinate Mortgage Default. However, if such
Subordinate Mortgage Default is a non -monetary default and is not capable
of being cured within such 90-day period and Senior Lender has
commenced and is diligently pursuing such cure to completion, Senior
Lender will have such additional period of time as may be required to cure
such Subordinate Mortgage Default or until such time, if ever, as Senior
Lender takes either of the following actions:
(A) Discontinues its pursuit of any cure.
(B) Delivers to Subordinate Lender Senior Lender's written consent to
the Enforcement Action described in the Enforcement Action
Notice.
(iii) Senior Lender will not be subrogated to the rights of Subordinate Lender
under the Subordinate Loan Documents as a result of Senior Lender having
cured any Subordinate Mortgage Default.
(iv) Subordinate Lender acknowledges that all amounts advanced or expended
by Senior Lender in accordance with the Senior Loan Documents or to cure
a Subordinate Mortgage Default will be added to and become a part of the
Senior Indebtedness and will be secured by the lien of the Senior Mortgage.
(b) Subordinate Lender's Exercise of Remedies After Notice to Senior Lender.
(i)
In the event of a Subordinate Mortgage Default, Subordinate Lender will
not commence any Enforcement Action until 90 days after Subordinate
Lender has delivered to Senior Lender an Enforcement Action Notice.
During such 90-day period or such longer period as provided in Section
4(a), Subordinate Lender will be entitled to seek specific performance to
enforce covenants and agreements of Borrower relating to income, rent, or
affordability restrictions contained in the Regulatory Agreement, subject to
Senior Lender's right to cure a Subordinate Mortgage Default set forth in
Section 4(a).
(ii) Subordinate Lender may not commence any other Enforcement Action,
including any foreclosure action under the Subordinate Loan Documents,
until the earlier of:
(A) The expiration of such 90-day period or such longer period as
provided in Section 4(a).
(B) The delivery by Senior Lender to Subordinate Lender of Senior
Lender's written consent to such Enforcement Action by
Subordinate Lender.
Subordination Agreement — Governmental Entity- City of Miami Page 8
(iii) Subordinate Lender acknowledges that Senior Lender may grant or refuse
consent to Subordinate Lender's Enforcement Action in Senior Lender's
sole and absolute discretion. At the expiration of such 90-day period or such
longer period as provided in Section 4(a) and, subject to Senior Lender's
right to cure set forth in Section 4(a), Subordinate Lender may commence
any Enforcement Action.
(iv) Senior Lender may pursue all rights and remedies available to it under the
Senior Loan Documents, at law, or in equity, regardless of any Enforcement
Action Notice or Enforcement Action by Subordinate Lender. No action or
failure to act on the part of Senior Lender in the event of a Subordinate
Mortgage Default or commencement of an Enforcement Action will
constitute a waiver on the part of Senior Lender of any provision of the
Senior Loan Documents or this Agreement.
(c) Cross Default. Subordinate Lender acknowledges that a Subordinate Mortgage
Default constitutes a Senior Mortgage Default. Accordingly, upon the occurrence
of a Subordinate Mortgage Default, Subordinate Lender will be deemed to have
actual knowledge of a Senior Mortgage Default. If Subordinate Lender notifies
Senior Lender in writing that any Subordinate Loan Default of which Senior Lender
has received Notice has been cured or waived, as determined by Subordinate
Lender in its sole discretion, then provided that Senior Lender has not conducted a
sale of the Mortgaged Property pursuant to its rights under the Senior Loan
Documents, any Senior Loan Default under the Senior Loan Documents arising
solely from such Subordinate Loan Default will be deemed cured, and the Senior
Loan will be reinstated.
5. Default Under Senior Loan Documents.
(a) Notice of Senior Loan Default and Cure Rights.
(i)
Senior Lender will deliver to Subordinate Lender a copy of any Notice sent
by Senior Lender to Borrower of a Senior Mortgage Default within 5 Business
Days of sending such Notice to Borrower. Failure of Senior Lender to send
Notice to Subordinate Lender will not prevent the exercise of Senior Lender's
rights and remedies under the Senior Loan Documents.
(ii) Subordinate Lender will have the right, but not the obligation, to cure any
monetary Senior Mortgage Default within 30 days following the date of such
Notice. During such 30-day period Senior Lender will be entitled to continue
to pursue its remedies under the Senior Loan Documents.
(iii) Subordinate Lender may, within 90 days after the date of the Notice, cure a
non -monetary Senior Mortgage Default if during such 90-day period,
Subordinate Lender keeps current all payments required under the Senior
Loan Documents. If such a non -monetary Senior Mortgage Default creates an
unacceptable level of risk relative to the Mortgaged Property, or Senior
Subordination Agreement — Governmental Entity- City of Miami Page 9
Lender's secured position relative to the Mortgaged Property, as determined
by Senior Lender in its sole discretion, then during such 90-day period Senior
Lender may exercise all available rights and remedies to protect and preserve
the Mortgaged Property and the Rents, revenues and other proceeds from the
Mortgaged Property.
(iv) All amounts paid by Subordinate Lender to Senior Lender to cure a Senior
Mortgage Default will be deemed to have been advanced by Subordinate
Lender pursuant to, and will be secured by the lien of, the Subordinate
Mortgage. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5(a) to the contrary,
Subordinate Lender's right to cure any Senior Mortgage Default will terminate
immediately upon the occurrence of any Bankruptcy Proceeding.
(b) Release of Mortgaged Property.
(i)
Subordinate Lender consents to and authorizes any future release by Senior
Lender of all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property from the lien,
operation, and effect of the Senior Loan Documents. Subordinate Lender
waives to the fullest extent permitted by law, all equitable or other rights it
may have in connection with the release of all or any portion of the
Mortgaged Property, including any right to require Senior Lender to do any
of the following:
(A) To conduct a separate sale of any portion of the Mortgaged Property.
(B) To exhaust its remedies against all or any portion of the Mortgaged
Property or any combination of portions of the Mortgaged Property
or any other collateral for the Senior Indebtedness.
(C) To proceed against Borrower, any other party that may be liable for
any of the Senior Indebtedness (including any general partner of
Borrower if Borrower is a partnership), all or any portion of the
Mortgaged Property or combination of portions of the Mortgaged
Property or any other collateral, before proceeding against all or
such portions or combination of portions of the Mortgaged Property
as Senior Lender determines. For avoidance of doubt, no such
release shall be effective to release the Mortgaged Property from the
Subordinate Mortgage without the consent of the Subordinate
Lender.
(ii) Subordinate Lender consents to and authorizes, at the option of Senior
Lender, the sale, either separately or together, of all or any portion of the
Mortgaged Property. Subordinate Lender acknowledges that without Notice
to Subordinate Lender and without affecting any of the provisions of this
Agreement, Senior Lender may do any of the following:
(A) Extend the time for or waive any payment or performance under the
Senior Loan Documents.
Subordination Agreement — Governmental Entity- City of Miami Page 10
(B) Modify or amend in any respect any provision of the Senior Loan
Documents.
(C) Modify, exchange, surrender, release, and otherwise deal with any
additional collateral for the Senior Indebtedness.
provided that no such extension, waiver, modification, amendment,
exchange, surrender, release by or of the Senior Lender, including, in
particular but without limitation, any release of collateral or other property
shall affect the Subordinate Loan Documents, Subordinate Note, or
Subordinate Indebtedness.
(c) Termination Upon Foreclosure. The lien of the Subordinate Loan Documents will
automatically terminate upon the acquisition by Senior Lender or by a third -party
purchaser of title to the Mortgaged Property pursuant to a foreclosure of, deed in
lieu of foreclosure, or trustee's sale or other exercise of a power of sale or similar
disposition under the Senior Mortgage; provided however, that in the event of a
deed in lieu of foreclosure or trustee sale, Senior Lender and/or Borrower must
provide prior written notice to Subordinate Lender of such anticipated foreclosure
or trustee sale and provide Subordinate Lender, with a right of first refusal to pay
off the Senior Loan and acquire title to the Mortgaged Property. Unless extended
in writing by Senior Lender in its sole and absolute discretion, such right of first
refusal to pay off the Senior Loan and acquire title to the Mortgaged Property
must be exercised not later than thirty (30) calendar days after the date of Senior
Lender's written notice. Any payoff of the Senior Loan shall also include
payment of all premiums, interest, costs, fees, reserves and escrows otherwise due
under the Senior Loan Documents or to Senior Lender.
6. Conflicts. If there is any conflict or inconsistency between the terms of the Subordinate
Loan Documents and the terms of this Agreement, then the terms of this Agreement will
control. Borrower acknowledges that the terms and provisions of this Agreement will not,
and will not be deemed to do any of the following:
(a) Extend Borrower's time to cure any Senior Loan Default or Subordinate Loan
Default.
(b)
Give Borrower the right to receive notice of any Senior Loan Default or
Subordinate Loan Default, other than that, if any, provided, respectively under the

Subordination Agreement — Governmental Entity- City of Miami Page 11
(i)

Documents (including requirements relating to amounts and types of
coverages, deductibles and special endorsements) will be deemed satisfied
if Borrower complies with the insurance requirements under the Senior
Loan Documents and of Senior Lender.
(ii) All original policies of insurance required pursuant to the Senior Loan
Documents will be held by Senior Lender.
(iii) Nothing in this Section 7(a) will preclude Subordinate Lender from
requiring that it be named as a mortgagee and loss payee, as its interest may
appear, under all policies of property damage insurance maintained by
Borrower with respect to the Mortgaged Property, provided such action
does not affect the priority of payment of Loss Proceeds, or that Subordinate
Lender be named as an additional insured under all policies of liability
insurance maintained by Borrower with respect to the Mortgaged Property.
(b) Condemnation or Casualty.
In the event of a Condemnation or a Casualty, the following provisions will apply:
(i)
The rights of Subordinate Lender (under the Subordinate Loan Documents
or otherwise) to participate in any proceeding or action relating to a
Condemnation or a Casualty, or to participate or join in any settlement of,
or to adjust, any claims resulting from a Condemnation or a Casualty, will
be and remain subordinate in all respects to Senior Lender's rights under
the Senior Loan Documents, and Subordinate Lender will be bound by any
settlement or adjustment of a claim resulting from a Condemnation or a
Casualty made by Senior Lender.
(ii) All Loss Proceeds will be applied either to payment of the costs and
expenses of Restoration or to payment on account of the Senior
Indebtedness, as and in the manner determined by Senior Lender in its sole
discretion; provided however, Senior Lender agrees to consult with
Subordinate Lender in determining the application of Casualty proceeds. In
the event of any disagreement between Senior Lender and Subordinate
Lender over the application of Casualty proceeds, the decision of Senior
Lender, in its sole discretion, will prevail.
(iii) If Senior Lender holds Loss Proceeds, or monitors the disbursement of Loss
Proceeds, Subordinate Lender will not do so. Nothing contained in this
Agreement will be deemed to require Senior Lender to act for or on behalf
of Subordinate Lender in connection with any Restoration or to hold or
monitor any Loss Proceeds in trust for or otherwise on behalf of Subordinate
Lender, and all or any Loss Proceeds may be commingled with any funds
of Senior Lender.
Subordination Agreement — Governmental Entity- City of Miami Page 12
(iv) If Senior Lender elects to apply Loss Proceeds to payment on account of
the Senior Indebtedness, and if the application of such Loss Proceeds results
in the payment in full of the entire Senior Indebtedness, any remaining Loss
Proceeds held by Senior Lender will be paid to Subordinate Lender unless
another party has asserted a claim to the remaining Loss Proceeds.
(c) Modification of Subordinate Loan Documents. Subordinate Lender agrees that,
until the principal of, interest on and all other amounts payable under the Senior
Loan Documents have been paid in full, it will not, without the prior written consent
of Senior Lender, increase the amount of the Subordinate Loan (other than in
connection with a cure of a default under the Senior Mortgage as provided in
Section 5(a)(iv) hereof), increase the required payments due under the Subordinate
Loan, decrease the term of the Subordinate Loan, increase the interest rate on the
Subordinate Loan, or otherwise amend the Subordinate Loan terms in a manner that
creates an adverse effect upon Senior Lender under the Senior Loan Documents. If
Subordinate Lender either (i) amends the Subordinate Loan Documents in the
manner set forth above or (ii) assigns the Subordinate Loan without Senior Lender's
consent except as provided in Section 2(b)(i), then such amendment or assignment
will be void ab initio and of no effect whatsoever.
(d) Modification of Senior Loan Documents. Senior Lender may amend, waive,
postpone, extend, renew, replace, reduce or otherwise modify any provisions of the
Senior Loan Documents without the necessity of obtaining the consent of or
providing Notice to Subordinate Lender, and without affecting any of the
provisions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Senior Lender may
not modify any provision of the Senior Loan Documents that increases the Senior
Indebtedness, except for increases in the Senior Indebtedness that result from
advances made by Senior Lender to protect the security or lien priority of Senior
Lender under the Senior Loan Documents or to cure defaults under the Subordinate
Loan Documents.
(e) Commercial or Retail Leases. If requested, Subordinate Lender will enter into
attornment and non -disturbance agreements with all tenants under commercial or
retail Leases, if any, to whom Senior Lender has granted attornment and non -
disturbance, on the same terms and conditions given by Senior Lender.
(f) Consent Rights. Whenever the Subordinate Loan Documents give Subordinate
Lender approval or consent rights with respect to any matter, and a right of approval
or consent for the same or substantially the same matter is also granted to Senior
Lender pursuant to the Senior Loan Documents or otherwise, Subordinate Lender
shall have fifteen (15) days in which to provide its consent or approval, which shall
not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If Subordinate Lender has
not provided its consent, approval, or denial within such fifteen (15) day period,
Senior Lender's approval or consent or failure to approve or consent will be binding
on Subordinate Lender. None of the other provisions of Section 7 are intended to
be in any way in limitation of the provisions of this Section 7(f).
Subordination Agreement — Governmental Entity- City of Miami Page 13
(g)
Escrows. Except as provided in this Section 7(g), and regardless of any contrary
provision in the Subordinate Loan Documents, Subordinate Lender will not collect
any escrows for any cost or expense related to the Mortgaged Property or for any
portion of the Subordinate Indebtedness. However, if Senior Lender is not
collecting escrow payments for one or more Impositions, Subordinate Lender may
collect escrow payments for such Impositions; provided that all payments so
collected by Subordinate Lender will be held in trust by Subordinate Lender to be
applied only to the payment of such Impositions.
(h) Certification. Within 10 business days after request by Senior Lender, Subordinate
Lender will furnish Senior Lender with a statement, duly acknowledged and
certified setting forth the then -current amount and terms of the Subordinate
Indebtedness, confirming that there exists no default or, to the best of Subordinate
Lender's knowledge, any act, failure to act, event, condition, or occurrence which
with the giving of Notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute a default
known to the Subordinate Lender under the Subordinate Loan Documents (or
describing any known default that does exist), and certifying to such other
information with respect to the Subordinate Indebtedness as Senior Lender may
request.
8. Refinancing. Subordinate Lender agrees that its agreement to subordinate under this
Agreement will extend to any new mortgage debt which is for the purpose of refinancing
all or any part of the Senior Indebtedness (including reasonable and necessary costs
associated with the closing and/or the refinancing, and any reasonable increase in proceeds
for rehabilitation in the context of a preservation transaction). All terms and covenants of
this Agreement will inure to the benefit of any holder of any such refinanced debt, and all
references to the Senior Loan Documents and Senior Lender will mean, respectively, the
refinance loan documents and the holder of such refinanced debt.
9. Governmental Powers. Nothing in this Agreement is intended, nor will it be construed,
to in any way limit the exercise by Subordinate Lender of its governmental powers
(including police, regulatory and taxing powers) with respect to Borrower or the Mortgaged
Property to the same extent as if it were not a party to this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement. For avoidance of doubt, this Agreement shall in no way
diminish, limit or otherwise restrain the Subordinate Lender's power and authority as a
sovereign municipal authority in the State of Florida
10. Notices.
