c) Insurance.
Subordinate Lender agrees that all original.policies of insurance required pursuant to the
Senior Security Instrument shall be held by Senior Lender. The preceding sentence shall not
preclude Subordinate Lender from requiring'that it be"named as a 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 the
proceeds of property damage insurance under the Senior Security Instrument, or that it be named
as an additional insured under all policies of liability insurance maintained by Borrower with
respect to the Mortgaged Property.
d) No Modification of Subordinate Loan Documents or City Restrictions.
Borrower and Subordinate Lender each agree 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 in each instance,increase the amount of any Subordinate
Loan, increase the required payments due under any Subordinate Loan, decrease the term of any,
Subordinate Loan, increase the interest rate on any Subordinate Loan, or otherwise amend any
Subordinate Loan terms or the City Restrictions in a manner that creates an adverse effect upon
Senior Lender under the Senior Loan Documents. Any unauthorized amendment of the
Subordinate Loan Documents or the City Restrictions or assignment of Subordinate Lender's
interest in any Subordinate Loan without Senior Lender's consent shall be void ab initio and of no
effect whatsoever and Subordinate Lender agrees that it shall not transfer or assign the Subordinate
Loan or the Subordinate Loan Documents without the prior written consent of the Senior Lender.
11. Conversion,Modification or Refinancing of Senior Loan.
Subordinate Lender consents to any agreement or arrangement in which Senior Lender
waives, postpones, extends, reduces or modifies any provisions of the Senior Loan Documents,
including any provision requiring the payment of money. Subordinate Lender further agrees that
its agreement to subordinate hereunder shall extend to any new mortgage debt which is for the
purpose of refinancing all or any part of the Senior Loan(including reasonable and necessary costs
associated with the closing and/or the refinancing) and, in the event of new mortgage debt,
Subordinate Lender shall execute and deliver to Senior Lender a new subordination agreement on the
same terms and conditions as this Subordination Agreement; and that all the terms and covenants of
this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of any holder of any such refinanced debt; and that all
references to the Senior Loan, the Senior Note, the Senior Loan Agreement, the Senior Security
Instrument,the Senior Loan Documents and Senior Lender shall mean,respectively,the refinance
loan, the refinance note loan agreement, the mortgage securing the refinance note, all documents

of Subordinate Lender to, the following: (i) any foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of the
Senior Security Instrument by Senior Lender or its successor,assigns,or nominee(a"Foreclosure
Action"),or(ii)the first subsequent transfer by Senior Lender or its successors,assigns or nominee
following a Foreclosure Action. Neither the successor owner initially acquiring title to the
Mortgaged Property as a result of a Foreclosure Action, nor its immediate successor in interest,
shall be subject to any of the limitations upon creation of indebtedness nor creation of any lien
securing indebtedness set forth in the City Restrictions; provided that any subsequent mortgagee
or lienholder with respect to such indebtedness shall agree that in the event of foreclosure or deed
in lieu of foreclosure, the transferee under such foreclosure agrees that it will take subject to the
City Restrictions; and provided further that all other subsequent encumbrances shall be subject to
Subordinate Lender's approval under the City Restrictions. Any sale, assignment or transfer of
the Mortgaged Property following a transfer pursuant to a Foreclosure Action (other than the first
transfer thereafter) shall be subject to Subordinate Lender's rights under the City Restrictions to
approve such transfer,except that Subordinate Lender agrees that its decision to approve any such
sale, assignment or other transfer will be based solely upon whether the proposed transferee is
qualified to manage and operate affordable housing projects similar to the Mortgaged Property,
and the Subordinate Lender will not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent to any
such proposed transfer.
b) Compliance with Subordinate Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary set forth in the City Restrictions, from and after any foreclosure or deed in lieu of
foreclosure, neither Senior Lender nor any successor in interest to the Property following any
foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of the Senior Deed of Trust(collectively,the"Successor
Owner"), shall be obligated to comply with the terms of any Subordinate Loan Document, and
neither Senior Lender nor any Successor Owner shall have any obligation to repay the Subordinate
Loan.
c) Indemnification Provisions in the City Restrictions. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary set forth in the City Restrictions, in no event shall Senior Lender or any Successor
Owner be liable to Subordinate Lender for amounts due to the Subordinate Lender under the City
Restrictions as the result of an act or a failure to act occurring prior to the date on which Senior

Lender or its successor,assigns,or nominee acquires title to the Mortgaged Property by foreclosure
or deed in lieu of foreclosure.
d) Default Under City Restrictions. No Successor Owner shall be required to cure any
default under the City Restrictions first occurring prior to the date upon which such Successor
Owner acquired title to the Mortgaged Property, except that each Successor Owner shall be
required to cure continuing defaults under the City Restrictions related to the Mortgaged Property;
provided further,however,that each such Successor Owner shall have 120 days after the date upon
which it acquires title to the Mortgaged Property to cure such continuing defaults, or, if any such
continuing default is not reasonably susceptible to a cure by such Successor Owner within such
period, to commence curing such default (and in such latter case, such Successor Owner shall
thereafter continuously and diligently pursue the cure of such default to completion, which shall
in no event be more than 240 days after acquiring title to the Mortgaged Property).
e) Construction Covenants. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, Sections 3.a and 3.b of the HOME Regulatory Agreement and Section 1 of the City
Affordability Covenants (collectively, the "Construction Covenants") are and shall at all times
be subject and subordinate in all respects to the liens,terms,covenants and conditions of the Senior
Security Instrument and the other Senior Loan Documents, and from and after any Foreclosure
Action, neither Senior Lender nor any Successor Owner shall be obligated to comply with the
Construction Covenants.
14. Reinstatement.

any payment or proceeds of the collateral securing the Senior Loan for Borrower's benefit,which
payment or proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or
preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under
any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable doctrine, then to the extent of
such payment or proceeds received and not retained by Senior Lender, this Agreement shall be
reinstated and continue in full force and effect until full and final payment shall have been made
to Senior Lender. Subordinate Lender agrees to hold in trust for Senior Lender and promptly remit
to Senior Lender any payments received by Subordinate Lender after such invalidated, rescinded
or returned payment was originally made.
