DECLARATION OF COVENANTS,
CONDITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS
(TENANT RESTRICTION&
THIS DECLARATION OF COVENANTS, CONDITIONS AND
RESTRICTIONS (hereafter "Declaration") is made as of December 18, 2001, by
PLAZA MANOR PRESERVATION, L.P., a California limited partnership,
(hereinafter "DECLARANT") in connection with that certain parcel of real property
("PROPERTY") located in the City of National City, County of San Diego, California,
described in Exhibit "A" attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
RECITALS
DECLARANT has acquired title to the PROPERTY with the aid of a Loan
obtained from the Community Development Commission of the City of National City
(hereafter the "CDC"), and intends to operate a three hundred seventy-two (372) unit
project referred to as ''Plaza Manor" as a very low and low income housing project.
Concurrent with the recordation of this Declaration, the CDC is partially
funding, by loan secured by deed of trust on the PROPERTY, the acquisition,
rehabilitation and permanent financing of a Project described in the Owner Participation
Agreement ("AGREEMENT" or "Loan Agreement" or "Owner Participation

Agreement," the terms being synonymous) dated December 18, 2001. This loan is to
assist DECLARANT in rehabilitating, maintaining and holding the PROPERTY and
operating the PROJECT using federal HOME PROGRAM funds and local funds of the
CDC. The Loan Agreement and Project Trust Deed by the CDC were conditioned in
part upon the recordation of a document setting forth certain restrictions upon the use
and sale of the PROPERTY.
NOW, THEREFORE, DECLARANT hereby declares that the PROPERTY
shall be subject to the covenants, conditions and restrictions set forth below:
1. Restrictive Covenants and Terms. DECLARANT agrees and covenants
on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns, and each successor in interest to the
PROPERTY, that at all times during the term of this Declaration set forth, three
hundred seventy (370) of three hundred seventy-two (372) units of the PROJECT shall
be set aside and reserved as "Affordable Units." As used herein, the term "Affordable
Units" shall refer to those residential units in the PROJECT that are owned or held
available strictly in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth below. Two (2)
two bedroom units shall be set aside as Managers' Units.
2. Affordable Unit Restrictions. The following restrictions shall apply to the
three hundred seventy-two (372) units. The units shall be rent and occupancy restricted
in accordance with Section 8, TCAC/CDLAC, CHFA and HOME Program
requirements. The restrictions set forth in the Table attached as Exhibit "1" hereto,
hereinafter "Table," shall establish the rental rate, after the required reduction for
utilities, and tenant income calculation criteria as follows: Maximum rents (Column 1);
Unit Size and Type (Column 2); Number of Affordable Units (Column 3); and Limit in
Income of Eligible Tenants based upon percentage of the Median Area Income (Column
4); Years of Restriction (Column 5); and Type of Unit (Le. Section 8, TCAC/CDLAC
and CHFA) (Column 6):
"Eligible Tenants" are those tenants whose aggregate gross annual income does
not exceed the respective percentages set forth in the table above of annual median
income, as adjusted for family size. These units shall be the "Affordable Units." For
purposes of this Declaration, the current annual median income shall be the median
income defined by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) as the
then current median income for the San Diego Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area,
established periodically by HUD and published in the Federal Register, as adjusted for
family size, and as shown on the Maximum Income/Affordable Rent Table attached as
Exhibit "D-1." However, for the purpose of calculating maximum rents and deducting
2
k embar 20. 2001
Plaza Manor CC&Rs.122001Aoc
Attachment No. 5
005889
for utilities, Exhibit "D-2" is attached. Both exhibits shall be deemed adjusted, from
time to time, in accordance with any adjustments that are authorized by HUD or any
successor agency. In the event HUD ceases to publish an established median income as
aforesaid, the CDC may, in its sole discretion, use any other reasonably comparable
method of computing adjustments in median income. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, the rent and income restrictions set forth herein shall not be applicable
until such time as the HUD Housing Assistance Contract is no longer in full force and
effect. At that time, these rent and income restrictions shall be fully applicable and
effective.
The eligibility of each prospective tenant under the restrictions set forth in
1 above shall be certified by DECLARANT who shall submit such certification and all
supporting documentation on forms acceptable to the CDC, in its sole discretion, for a
determination of tenant eligibility, prior to tenant occupancy. No Affordable Unit
(Section 8, TCAC/CDLAC, CHFA and HOME) may be rented to a prospective tenant
or occupied by any person unless and until the CDC has determined that the prospective
tenant or occupant is an eligible tenant (defined above) as determined in accordance
with the provisions set forth below [Sections 3 through 14, inclusive], provided,
however, that the failure of the CDC to timely act upon the submission within five (5)
business days of submission shall be deemed an approval of such prospective tenant.
3. Affordable Marketing Plan Compliance. Eligible Tenants shall be any
tenants, provided that DECLARANT has and continues to comply with the terms of its
approved affirmative marketing plan and rents to those person(s) referenced in said
approved plan, as may be amended from time to time, and as approved by the CDC.
4. Determination: Annual Requalification. The CDC's determination of
eligibility shall be based upon an application completed by the prospective tenant
(including backup documentation such as employment and income verification
documents) in accordance with the CDC's normal procedures then in effect, and
submitted by DECLARANT to the CDC for review and determination of eligibility.
Failure of the CDC to respond within five (5) business days of submission of complete
income information shall be deemed approval. Further, tenants shall be requalified as
Eligible Tenants according to the above -described process annually. Such
requalification process shall be performed by DECLARANT as part of the annual
certification of DECLARANT's compliance as set forth in Paragraph 4 below. Failure
by DECLARANT to timely comply with the tenant qualification and requalification
process described in this Paragraph 3 shall constitute a material default under this
Declaration.

5. DECLARANT Certification: Annual Recertification. Upon the
completion of the PROJECT, the occurrence of which shall be determined by the CDC,
in its sole discretion, and on the anniversary date thereof in each year of the term of
this Declaration, DECLARANT shall certify to the CDC, under penalty of perjury,
utilizing such forms and providing such backup documentation as the CDC may
require, that DECLARANT is complying with all provisions of this DECLARATION.
Failure to timely complete the annual certification process described in this Paragraph 4
shall constitute a material default under this DECLARATION. The CDC may resort to
the remedies set forth in this DECLARATION upon such material default, as well as
any and all other remedies available at law or in equity and/or contained in the CDC
Loan, as defined in the Agreement (all terms that are undefined in this Declaration shall
have the meaning as used in the AGREEMENT.
6. Operating and Replacement Reserves. The DECLARANT shall, during
the time of the affordability of the PROJECT as referenced in. this DECLARATION,
maintain operating and replacement reserves for the PROJECT, pursuant to the terms
of the Partnership Agreement and any requirements of the senior lenders, as approved
by the CDC. Failure to maintain such reserves shall constitute a material default under
the terms of this DECLARATION. For the purpose of this DECLARATION,
operating reserves required under the terms of the CHFA loans shall be deemed
acceptable during the term of the CHFA loans. In addition to the operating reserve,
during the term of the DECLARATION, replacement revenues shall be maintained in
an amount of not less than that required under the terms of the CHFA loans. These
reserve amounts are subject to revision upward as determined by the Executive Director
of the CDC, annually, based upon an increase in the consumer price index for the San
Diego Metropolitan Area. The operating reserve shall be maintained in a separate
account in anticipation of and as a contingency against unbudgeted and/or unforeseen
expenses in the operation and maintenance of the Project. No disbursements from the
operating reserve or replacement account(s) shall be made without the express written
consent of the Executive Director of the CDC, or designee, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or denied. Annually, the sums required under the terms of the
CHFA loans shall be set aside as a reserve for replacements. DECLARANT shall
account to the .CDC for any monies expended from the operating reserves and/or
replacement account(s), in such form as approved by the CDC. After the CHFA loans
are no longer outstanding, the amount of the replacement and operating reserves shall
be determined by the Executive Director of the CDC, in his/her reasonable discretion,
which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

sponsor, or otherwise violate applicable state or federal conflict regulations.
8. No Student Dependents. The term "Eligible Tenant" shall not include any
student dependent as defined in the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, unless the taxpayer
(upon whom the student in question is dependent) resides in the same dwelling unit.
9. Income of Co -tenants, etc. The income of all co -tenants and/or non-
dependent occupants shall be taken into account in determining whether a household is
an Eligible Tenant hereunder.
10. Over Income Tenants. In the event that a tenant who was properly
certified as an Eligible Tenant at the commencement of such tenant's occupancy ceases
to be eligible, for any reason other than a Tenant being over income, the
DECLARANT shall give sixty (60) days written notice to such Tenant to vacate the
Unit. The vacated Unit shall be rented to an Eligible Tenant. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this Declaration, no occupant of a HOME Program Affordable Unit
or Affordable Unit who previously and properly qualified as an Eligible Tenant shall be
evicted by DECLARANT because such occupant fails to requalify as an Eligible
Tenant, because such occupant exceeds the income limits of Exhibit "D-2," as in the
case of increased income, except as provided for in Section 92.252, as amended from
time to time. Rather, the next available Unit shall be designated as a HOME Program
Affordable Unit or Affordable Unit to replace the Unit of the occupant in question.
Further, subject to the fair market limitations set forth in HOME Regulation 92.252,
such occupant shall commence paying rent equal to thirty percent (30%) of such
occupant's Adjusted Income (as that term is defined in 24 C.F.R. ' 813.102), effective
from and after the date of such failure to requalify, as further described herein. The
over income tenant shall continue to be considered as an "Eligible Tenant" until
evicted, provided this continued occupancy complies with all applicable regulations.
a. CDC Local Program Funds Only. Be given one hundred eighty
(180) days notice to vacate the affordable unit, effective from and after the date of such
failure to requalify (i.e., the re -certification date, provided the tenant was properly
certified originally). During the time the over -income tenant resides in the Affordable
Unit, the tenant shall continue to pay the restricted rent. The tenant shall continue to be
5

considered an "eligible tenant" until evicted, provided this continued occupancy
complies with all applicable HOME Program requirements.
b. HOME Program Funds Only. When a HOME Eligible Tenant's
gross income exceeds the "low income" definition as defined in CFR 92.252(i), i.e.,
over eighty percent (80%) of area median income, then the tenant shall commence
paying rent equivalent to thirty percent (30 %) of the Tenant's adjusted income, subject
to the fair market rent ceiling as set forth in HOME Regulation 92.252(i) and the next
available comparable sized and configured unit shall be designated as a HOME
Affordable Unit. The tenant shall continue to be considered an "eligible tenant" until
evicted, provided this continued occupancy otherwise complies with all applicable
HOME Program requirements.
c. HOME and CDC Local Funds. If residing in a HOME unit, shall
be subject to the HOME provisions described above; the remaining units shall be
subject to the CDC Local Funds provisions.
d. HOME, CDC and Tax Credit Funds. When HOME, CDC and

to reside in the assisted unit at the reduced rental rate, unless the over -income Tenant
reaches one hundred and forty percent (140%) of the applicable income limit,
whereupon the Tenant shall be given one hundred eighty (180) days notice to vacate the
affordable unit, effective from and after the date of such income determination. The
tenant shall continue to be considered an "eligible tenant" until evicted, provided this
continued occupancy complies with all applicable tax -credit and/or bond requirements.
12. Accessibility Standards. DECLARANT represents and warrants that it
will comply with all federal, state and local requirements and regulations concerning
access to the units by the disabled and handicapped persons.
13. Physical Condition of Affordable Units. After completion of the

and enforced by the CDC under its normal policies and procedures. The CDC shall
have the right to inspect the Affordable Units from time to time, on reasonable notice
and at reasonable times, in order to verify compliance with the foregoing maintenance
covenant. Further, each Affordable Unit shall be requalified annually, as to the
foregoing maintenance covenant, as part of the annual tenant requalification process
described in Paragraph 4 above. Any failure to comply with Housing Quality
Standards of an Affordable Unit shall be corrected by DECLARANT at
DECLARANT's expense within thirty (30) days of the identification of such deficiency
by the CDC.
14. CDC Monitoring Functions. It is contemplated that, during the term of
this DECLARATION, the CDC will perform the following monitoring functions: (A)
preparing and making available to DECLARANT any general information that the
CDC possesses regarding income limitations and restrictions which are applicable to the
Affordable Units; (B) reviewing the applications of prospective occupants of the
Affordable Units, and determining eligibility of such persons as Eligible Tenants; (C)
reviewing the documentation submitted by DECLARANT in connection with the annual
certification process for Eligible Tenants described in paragraph 1 and 2 above; and (D)
inspecting the Affordable Units to verify that they are being maintained in accordance
with the terms of this DECLARATION above; (E) inspecting the Project to verify that
the Property is being maintained in accordance with the approved Property
Management Plan, as amended annually during the term of the Declaration.
Notwithstanding the foregoing description of the CDC's functions, DECLARANT shall
have no claim or right of action against the CDC based on any alleged failure to
perform such function, except that DECLARANT may reasonably rely upon the CDC's
tenant eligibility determination and shall not be liable to the CDC for any damages, as
set forth in Loan Agreement, attributable to the CDC's sole negligence or willful
misconduct in conducting any such tenant eligibility determinations.
15. Designation of Affordable Units. The Affordable Units, described in the
"Table of Rent and Income Restriction Criteria" (the "Table") will be initially
designated as referenced in the Table, but shall be floating. Such designations may
only be changed with the prior written consent of the CDC, which consent may be
granted or withheld in the CDC's sole and absolute discretion, provided, however, that
the units before and after the change in designation are of the same unit types, size, and
features.
16. Compliance with Applicable Regulations. DECLARANT shall comply
with all regulations, policies and procedures promulgated by H.U.D. including but not
7

Attachment No. 5

005894
limited to the HOME Program Regulations as contained with the Owner Participation
Agreement, which provisions are incorporated herein by reference, and by the CDC, in
connection with the Loan which is being made to DECLARANT. DECLARANT's
failure to so comply shall constitute a material default hereunder, entitling the CDC to
the remedies set forth in Paragraph 23 below.
17. Successors Bound. DECLARANT covenants, for itself and its successors
and assigns, not to sell, transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of ownership of the
PROPERTY, unless the prospective purchaser, transferee or assignee expressly
promises in writing to be bound by all of the provisions hereof, including the covenant
in this Paragraph 13 to require successors to expressly assume the obligations herein.
It is expressed acknowledged that the covenants and restrictions set forth herein
shall survive any repayment of the CDC Loan referenced in the AGREEMENT.
Further, the obligations of DECLARANT hereunder shall be deemed independent of
DECLARANT's obligations under the Loan Agreement.
18. Maximum Rent To Be Collected by DECLARANT. In no event, shall
the "Total Rent" including the portion paid by the Resident Tenant and any other
person or entity, collected by DECLARANT for any rent restricted unit exceed the
amount of rent set forth in the Table referenced in Section 1. Total Rent includes all
payments made by the Resident Tenant and all subsidies received by the
DECLARANT. In the case of persons receiving Section 8 benefits, who are Resident
Tenants, the DECLARANT acknowledges that it shall not accept any subsidy or
payment that would cause the Total Rent received for any restricted unit that exceeds
the maximum rents allowed in the above -referenced Table, for any rent restricted unit.
Should the DECLARANT receive Total Rent in excess of the allowable maximum rent
set forth in the Table, DECLARANT agrees to immediately notify the AGENCY and
reimburse the AGENCY for any such overpayment. Acceptance by DECLARANT or
its successors in interest, of Total Rent in excess of the maximum rent set forth in the
Table shall constitute a material breach of this DECLARATION, unless said excess
rent is reimbursed to the AGENCY after receipt by DECLARANT of a ten (10) day
notice from the AGENCY to the DECLARANT of the overpayment.
19. Loan Payments. If and when provided for in the NOTE, as defined in the
AGREEMENT, the annual loan payments shall be made to the CDC.
20. Term. This Declaration and the covenants and restrictions contained
herein shall be effective upon the earlier of April 15, 2002, or the completion of the

rehabilitation of the units, and shall remain in full force and effect up through and
including April 15, 2032.
21. Covenant Against Discrimination. DECLARANT covenants on behalf of
itself and its successors and assigns, and each successor in interest to the PROPERTY,
not to discriminate against any tenant or prospective tenant of the PROJECT on the
basis of their race, age, sexual orientation, marital status, color, religion, sex,
handicap, or national origin, or any other basis prohibited by law, as referenced in all
applicable state, local and federal law, and the Loan Agreement and Loan Documents.
22. Conflicts of Interest. Interest of current or former members, officers or
employees. DECLARANT represents and warrants that no member, officer, or
employee of the DECLARANT, no member of the governing body of the locality in
which the CDC was activated, and no other public official of such locality or Iocalities
who exercises any functions or responsibilities with respect to this DECLARATION,
shall, during his or her tenure, or for one year thereafter, have any interest direct or
indirect, in this DECLARATION or the proceeds thereof. Any violation of this section
may, at the option of the CDC, result in unilateral and immediate termination of this
DECLARATION by the CDC. Further, the Contractor, who constructs the Project,
agrees to comply with all of the Conflict of Interest provisions contained in 24 CFR
92.356.
23. Inspections. The CDC shall be entitled to review, inspect and approve,
without liability, all of the construction being performed pursuant to the terms of the
CDC Loan and the operation of the Project after the completion of the Project. All

satisfaction of the CDC, without liability to the CDC for review and observation of the
construction and/or the operation of the Project after completion. Any deficiencies in
construction and/or management of the Project after completion, shall be corrected by
the Contractor, and/or the DECLARANT, upon written notice from the CDC to the
DECLARANT, prior to any additional funding of the Loan. If funding has been
completed, then correction in deficiencies in construction and/or operation shall be
accomplished within thirty (30) days of written notice from the CDC to the
DECLARANT.
24. Records and reports. DECLARANT shall supply the CDC, annually, on
November 15th of each year during the term of this DECLARATION, with such
records and reports as are required and are requested by CDC to aid it in complying
with the reports and record keeping provisions, terms and conditions of 24 CFR 92.508

HUD shall request in writing from the DECLARANT.
The parties agree that a fee of $25.00 per day, per report and/or information is a
reasonable estimation of the damages that will accrue to the CDC as a result of the
failure of the DECLARANT to timely submit the required information and/or reports
and that said fees shall be treated as liquidated damages by the parties, in anticipation of
the damages that will be incurred by the CDC as a result of a breach by the
DECLARANT. The parties further agree that it would be difficult, if not impossible,
to determine the exact actual amount of damages suffered by the CDC in the event of a
breach by the DECLARANT in the reporting requirements of this DECLARATION,

anything to the contrary contained herein, the CDC shall give the DECLARANT prior

26. Enforcement. DECLARANT expressly agrees and declares that the CDC
or any successor public agency is a proper parry and shall have standing to initiate and
pursue any and all actions or proceedings, at law or in equity, to enforce the provisions
hereof and/or to recover damages for any default hereunder, notwithstanding the fact
that such damages or the detriment arising from such default may have actually been
suffered by some other person or the public at large. Further, the CDC, or any
successor public agency, shall be the proper party to waive, relinquish, release or
modify the rights, covenants, obligations or restrictions contained in or arising under
this Declaration.
27. Attorney's Fees. In the event that any litigation for the enforcement or

of non judicial dispute resolution to this Declaration by reason of the breach of any
condition or covenant, representation or warranty in this Declaration, or otherwise

agrees for itself and its successors that, in the event that, for any reason whatsoever, a
court of competent jurisdiction determines that the foregoing covenants do not run with

or contractor employed by DECLARANT, or any person furnishing labor and/or
materials used in or related to the construction of said improvements.
32. Remedies.
a. Contract governed by law of State of California. This Declaration,
its performance, and all suits and special proceedings under this Declaration, shall be
constituted in accordance with the laws of the State of California and Federal law, to
the extent applicable. In any action, special proceeding, or other proceeding that may
be brought arising out of, under or because of this Declaration, the laws of the State of
California and the United States, to the extent applicable, shall govern to the exclusion
of the law of any other forum, without regard to the jurisdiction in which the action or
special proceeding may be instituted.
b. Standing, equitable remedies; cumulative remedies.
DECLARANT expressly agrees and declares that the CDC, or any successor or public
agency, shall be the proper party and shall have standing to initiate and pursue any and
all actions or proceedings, at law or in equity, to enforce the provisions hereof and/or
to recover damages for any default hereunder, notwithstanding the fact that such
damages or the detriment arising from such a default may have actually been suffered
by some other person or by the public at large. Further, DECLARANT expressly
agrees that receivership, injunctive relief and specific performance are proper pre-trial
and/or post -trial remedies hereunder, and that, upon any default, and to assure
compliance with this Declaration. Nothing in this subparagraph, and no recovery to the
CDC, shall restrict or limit the rights or remedies of persons or entities other than the
CDC, against DECLARANT in connection with the same or related acts by
DECLARANT. The remedies set forth in this Section are cumulative and not mutually
exclusive, except the extent that their award is specifically determined to be duplicative
by final order of a court of competent jurisdiction.
c. Remedies at law for breach of tenant restrictions. In the event of
any material default under the applicable terms of . this DECLARATION regarding
restrictions on the operation and the transfer of the PROPERTY, the CDC shall be
entitled to, in addition to any and all other remedies available at law or in equity: (i)
declare the Loan to be all due and repayable; and (ii) recover compensatory damages.
If the default in question involves the violation of the affordability and occupancy
provisions above, the amount of such compensatory damages shall be the product of
multiplying: (A) the number of months that the default in question has continued until
the time of trial by (B) the result of subtracting (i) the rents properly chargeable
13
December 20, 2001
Plaza Manor CC&Rs.122001.doc
Attachment No. 5
005300
hereunder for the Affordable Unit(s) in question from the amount actually charged.
DECLARANT and the CDC agree that it would be extremely difficult or impracticable
to ascertain the precise amount of actual damages accruing to the CDC as a result of
such a default and that the foregoing formula is a fair and reasonable method of
approximating such damages. The CDC shall be entitled to seek and to recover
damages in separate actions for successive and separate breaches that may occur.
Further, interest shall accrue on the amount of such damages from the date of the
breach in question at the rate of seven percent (7%) per annum or the maximum rate
than allowed by law, whichever is less. Nothing in this Section shall preclude the
award of exemplary damages as allowed by law.
d. Expert witness, attorney's fees, and costs. The parties agree that
the prevailing party in litigation for the breach and/or interpretation and/or enforcement
of the terms of the Loan Agreement shall be entitled to their expert witness fees, if any,
as part of their costs of suit, and reasonable attorneys' fees as may be awarded by the
court, pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure ("CCP") Section 1033.5 and any
other applicable provisions of California law, including, without limitation, the
provisions of CCP Section 998.
33. Mortgagees Protection. No violation or breach of the covenants,
conditions, restrictions, provisions or limitations contained in this Declaration shall
defeat or render invalid or in any way impair the lien or charge of any permitted deed
of trust recorded on the PROPERTY provided, however, that any subsequent owner of
the PROPERTY shall be bound by the covenants, conditions, restrictions, limitations
and provisions of this Declaration, whether such owner's title was acquired by
foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure, trustee's sale or otherwise.
34. CDC's Approval of Property Manager. At all times during which these
Restrictions are in full force and effect the Property shall be managed by a professional
management company, as approved by the CDC, in its reasonable discretion. Further,
at all times that these Restrictions are in force and effect, and CDC has served a thirty
(30) day written notice of deficiencies in the Property management for the project,
whether or not there has previously been a Property Management Company involved
with the Project, which deficiencies have not been rectified by the DECLARANT,
within the thirty (30) day period, or, if the deficiencies are not curable within thirty
(30) days, if no cure has been commenced within thirty (30) days and prosecuted with
diligence thereafter, then, CDC shall have the right, in its sole discretion, and upon
thirty (30) days written notice: (i) to require the retention of a different professional
property management firm to manage the Property; (ii) to approve, in advance and in
December 20, 2003

Attachment No. 5
i

writing, the retention of any such property management firm, including the terms of the
contract governing such retention; and (iii) to require DECLARANT to terminate any
such property management firm, provided that such termination shall comply with the
termination provisions of the management contract in question. DECLARANT shall
cooperate with the CDC to effectuate the CDC's rights.
35. CDC Approval of Management Plan. Prior to the funding of the CDC
Loan, the DECLARANT shall submit to the CDC a detailed plan for the management
of the Project, including the name and qualifications of the Property Manager,
including references and experience of the Property Manager in managing projects
similar to the Project for the approval of the CDC. The CDC shall approve or reject
the Property Manager and Plan within seven (7) days after receipt of the same by the
CDC. In the event that the CDC fails to object to the Property Manager and/or the
Management Plan, they shall be deemed approved. Each year thereafter on November
15`h, the DECLARANT shall submit a Management Plan for the Project for the
following year. The Plan shall include details covering payment of expenses of the
Project, physical condition of the Project, reserves for repair and replacement of the
components of the Project, Project income and expenses and all other matters
reasonably requested by the CDC. The Plan shall also set forth the services that will be
provided for the tenants on the Property. Failure of the CDC to approve said Plan shall
constitute a material default under the terms of this DECLARATION,
36. Lease Provisions. DECLARANT agrees that it will include in all of its
leases and cause its successors in interest to include in all of their leases, those
provisions set forth in Addendum to Lease attached hereto, the following provisions:
a. Additional Lease Provisions/Annual Income Verification.
TENANT agrees to, upon written request from the Landlord or the CDC, certify under
penalty of perjury the accuracy of all information provided in connection with the
examination or reexamination of annual income of the tenant's household. Further,
tenant agrees that the annual income and other eligibility requirements are substantial
and material obligations of the tenancy and that the tenant will comply promptly with
all requests for information with respect to the tenancy from the landlord and/or the
CDC. Further, tenant acknowledges that tenant's failure to provide accurate
information regarding such requirements (regardless of whether such inaccuracy is
intentional or unintentional) or the refusal to comply with the request for information
with respect thereto, shall be deemed a violation of this lease provision, and a material
breach of the tenancy and shall constitute cause for immediate termination of the
tenancy.

b. Term of Lease for Restricted Units. TENANT has been made
aware by Landlord that the unit being leased was assisted with Section 8,
TCAC/CDLAC, HOME and/ or CHFA funds. A lease must be for a period of not less
than one (1) year unless the parties agree by mutual agreement that the term of the lease
be less. The LESSEE acknowledges by initialing in the space below that it has been
made aware of these provisions.
37. HUD Requirements. During the time the Project is encumbered by a
HUD insured deed of Trust or Use Agreement, the following provisions shall be
effective:
a. Superiority of HUD Provisions. Notwithstanding anything in this
Declaration to the contrary, in the event any provision in this Declaration contradicts,
modifies, or any in any way changes the terms of the Use Agreement, as amended,
encumbering the Project, the terms of the Use Agreement, as amended, shall prevail
and govern or if any provision of the Declaration limits the Secretary of Housing and
Urban Development, his successors or assign and/or the Federal Housing Commission
(Secretary), in his administration of the National Housing Act, as amended, or the
regulations made pursuant thereto or the Use Agreement, as amended, this Declaration
shall be deemed amended so as to comply with the Act, regulations, or Use Agreement,
as amended, (FHA requirements). In the event of a conflict between the
TCAC/CDLAC or CHFA requirements and FHA requirements, the conflict shall be
resolved by the Secretary.
b. Subordination. This Declaration, and the restrictions contained
herein, shall be subordinate to all deeds of trust in favor of the United States of
America acting by and through the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development
("HUD") and recorded in the Official Records of San Diego County, California, (the
"HUD Deed of Trust") against the Property in connection with the Project and the
Amended and Restated Use Agreement (the "Use Agreement") executed by and
between the DECLARANT and HUD in connection with the Project, and recorded in
said Official Records, and subordinate to the CHFA Note and Deed of Trust, the
CHFA Regulatory Agreement, and the CHFA Second Deed of Trust, referenced in the
CDC Loan Agreement, and notwithstanding anything in this Declaration to the
contrary, the provisions of this Declaration shall be subordinate to the HUD Deed of
Trust, if any, the HUD Use Agreement and any applicable HUD regulations. In the
event of any conflicts between any of the provisions of this Declaration and the
provisions of the HUD Deed of Trust, HUD Use Agreement or any applicable HUD
regulations or requirements, the HUD Deed of Trust, HUD Use Agreement or HUD

regulations shall control. Compliance by DECLARANT with such HUD requirements
shall be deemed compliance with this Declaration. In the event of foreclosure under the
HUD Deed of Trust, this Declaration and the provisions contained herein shall
automatically terminate.
38. DECLARANT's Compliance With Health & Safety Code Section 33436.
DECLARANT agrees to include the following nondiscrimination and non -segregation
clauses required by Health & Safety Code Section 33436, in all leases, subleases,
deeds, contracts, and other agreements affecting the Property, as applicable:
(1) In deeds:

herself, his or her heirs, executors, administrators,
and assigns, and all persons claiming under or
through them, that there shall be no discrimination
against or segregation of, any person or group of
persons on account of race, color, creed, religion,
sex, marital status, national origin, or ancestry in the
sale, lease, sublease, transfer, use, occupancy,
tenure, or enjoyment of the premises herein
conveyed, nor shall the grantee or any person
claiming under or through him or her, establish or
permit any such practice or practices of
discrimination or segregation with reference to the
selection, location, number, use or occupancy of
tenants, lessees, subtenants, sublessees, or vendees in
the premises herein conveyed. The foregoing
covenants shall run with the land."
(2) In leases:
"The lessee herein covenants by and for himself or
herself, his or her heirs, executors, administrators,
and assigns, and all persons claiming under or
through him or her, and this lease is made and
accepted upon and subject to the following conditions:
That there shall be no discrimination against or
segregation of any person or group of persons, on
account of race, color, creed, religion, sex, marital
status, national origin, or ancestry, in the leasing,

subleasing, transferring, use, occupancy, tenure, or
enjoyment of the premises herein leased nor shall the
lessee himself, or any person claiming under or
through him or her, establish or permit any such
practice or practices of discrimination or segregation
with reference to the selection, location, number, use,
or occupancy, of tenants, lessees, sublessees,
subtenants, or vendees in the premises herein leased."
Further, pursuant to the provisions of Health & Safety Code Section 33436(c),
the DECLARANT agrees that the provisions set forth in subparagraphs (1) and (2)
above shall be binding upon and shall obligate the DECLARANT, their subcontractors
and their successors and assigns concerning the Project and the Property, if the same is
acquired from DECLARANT.
39. Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence of this DECLARATION and
of each and every provision hereof. The waiver by CDC of any breach or breaches
hereof shall not be deemed, nor shall the same constitute, a waiver of any subsequent
breach or breathes.
