SECTION VIII. PROHIBITIONS AGAINST ASSIGNMENT AND TRANSFER
A. Representations as to Development. The Developer represents and agrees that its
purchase of the Property and its other undertakings under this Agreement are and will be used for
development of the Property and not for speculation in land holding. The Developer further
recognizes that:
5
1. in view of the importance of the development of the Property to the general
welfare of the City,
2. the substantial financial and other public assistance that has been made
available by law and by the federal and local governments for the purpose of
making such development possible, and
3. the fact that a transfer in ownership of the Developer is for practical purposes
a transfer or disposition of the Property then owned by the Developer;
the qualifications and identity of the Developer and its shareholders, members or partners are of
particular concern to the City and the Commission. The Developer further recognizes that it is due
to such qualifications and identity that the Commission is entering into this Agreement with the
Developer, and in so doing is further willing to accept and rely on the obligations of the Developer
for the faithful performance of all undertakings and covenants.
B. Prohibition Against Transfer of Interest. The Developer agrees that any transactions
with respect to the equity of the Developer, including any increased capitalization, merger, transfer
or transfers of ownership of the outstanding shares of the Developer, or otherwise, which results in
the ownership by persons who are not presently shareholders, members or partners of the Developer
of 50% or more of the outstanding equity of the Developer at any time prior to the date of issuance
of a Certificate of Completion, will constitute a violation of this Agreement unless the Commission
has given prior written approval to such transfer or transfers, which approval will not be
unreasonably withheld.
C. Prohibition Against Transfer of Property or Assignment of Agreement. The
Developer represents and agrees for itself, its successors and assigns, that except for security for
obtaining financing needed to enable the Developer to make the improvements under this
Agreement; and except for any other purpose authorized by this Agreement, the Developer has not
made or will not make prior to receiving the Certificate of Completion:
(a) any total or partial sale, assignment, conveyance, or lease; or
(b) any trust or power; or
(c) any transfer in any other mode or form, with respect to the Agreement or the
Property or any part thereof, any interest therein; or
(d) any contract or agreement to do any of the above without prior written
approval of the Commission, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld.
This subsection does not prohibit the lease after certification of a part of the property as
provided by Section VI.
G
D. Approval of Qualifications Prior to Transfer. The Commission may require as
conditions precedent to any approval of transfer or assignment any and all information regarding the
qualifications, financial responsibility, legal status, experience, background, and any and all other
information it deems necessary or desirable in order to achieve and safeguard the purposes of the
Act, the Plan, and this Agreement.
E. No Transfer of Developer's Obli atg ions. Absent specific written agreement by the
Commission to the contrary, no transfer or approval by the Commission thereof shall relieve the
Developer or any other party bound in any way by the Agreement or otherwise with respect to the
construction of the improvements and completion of the Project from any of its obligations with
respect thereto.
F. Information as to Interest. The Developer agrees that during the period between
execution of this Agreement and the Commission's issuance of the Certificate of Completion, the
Developer will promptly notify the Commission of any and all changes in the ownership of shares
or partnership interest, or any other act or transaction involving or resulting in any change in the
ownership of such interest in the Developer or the relative distribution thereof, of which it or any of
its officers have been notified or otherwise have knowledge or information, and which results in the
ownership of 50% or more of all outstanding equity of the Developer by persons who are not
presently shareholders, members or partners of the Developer.
SECTION IX. MORTGAGE FINANCING; RIGHTS OF MORTGAGEES.
A. Limitation upon Encumbrance of Property. Prior to the Commission's issuing a
Certificate of Completion, the Developer shall not:
1. engage in any transaction creating any encumbrance upon the Property,
whether by express agreement or operation of law; or
2. allow any encumbrance to be made on the Property, except for obtaining
funds needed to make the improvements constituting the Project.
Before securing any financing by mortgage or similar lien instrument with regard to any part
of the Property, the Developer shall notify the Commission. The Developer shall promptly notify
the Commission of any encumbrance that has been attached to the Property, whether by the
Developer's voluntary act or otherwise. For any mortgage financing made under this Agreement, the
Property may, at the Developer's option, be divided into several parts if such subdivision:
1. in the Commission's opinion is not inconsistent with the purpose of the Plan,
the Project and this Agreement; and
2. is approved in advance in writing by the Commission.
VA
Any subdivision under this section must also be approved by any other local government
agencies whose action is required for such subdivision under local or state law.
B. Mortgagee Not Obligated to Construct. Notwithstanding any of the provisions ofthis
Agreement any mortgage holder authorized by the Agreement shall not be obligated by this
Agreement to construct or complete the Project or to guarantee such construction or completion. No
covenants or provisions in the Deed shall be construed so to obligate such holder. Nothing in this
Agreement shall be construed to permit or authorize any such holder to use the Property in any
manner not provided for or permitted in the Plan or this Agreement or to construct any
improvements other than those provided for or permitted in the Plan or this Agreement.
C. Copy ofNotice ofDefault to Mortgagee. Whenever the Commission delivers a notice
or demand to the Developer with respect to any breach or default under this Agreement the
Commission shall at the same time forward a copy of such notice or demand to each holder of any
mortgage authorized by the Agreement at the last address of such holder as shown in the records of
the Commission.
D. Mortgagee's Option to Cure Defaults. After any breach or default referred to in
subsection C, above, each such holder shall have the right at its option:
1. to cure or remedy such breach or default to the extent that it relates to the part
of the Property covered by its mortgage; and
2. to add the cost of doing so to the mortgage debt and the lien of its mortgage.
Such holder shall not undertake or continue the construction beyond the extent necessary to conserve
or protect those improvements or construction already made without first having expressly assumed
the obligation to complete the construction on the property.
This assumption shall be made by written agreement pursuant to terms and conditions
satisfactory to the Commission. Any holder who properly completes the Project shall be entitled to
request a Certificate of Completion under the same terms and conditions provided for the Developer
under Section VI.
E. Commission's Option to PU Mortgage Debtor Purchase Property. In any case, where
after default or breach by the Developer or any successor in interest under the Agreement, any
mortgage holder of any part of the Property:
has, but does not exercise, the option to complete the improvements relating
to the part of the Property covered by its mortgage or for which it has
obtained title, and such failure continues for a period of sixty (60) days after
the holder has been notified or informed of the default or breach; or
2. begins construction but does not complete such construction within the
period as agreed upon by the Commission and such holder (which period
Q
shall in any event be at least as long as the period prescribed for such
construction or completion in the Agreement), and such default shall not have
been cured within sixty (60) days after written demand by the Commission
so to do,
the Commission shall have the option of paying to the holder the amount of the mortgage debt and
securing an assignment of the mortgage and the debt secured under it, and every mortgage
instrument made prior to the Commission's issuance of a Certificate of Completion of construction
with respect to the Property by the Developer or successor in interest shall so provide. In the event
ownership of any part of the Property has vested in such holder by way of foreclosure or action in
lieu of foreclosure, the Commission shall be entitled, at its option, to a conveyance of any part of the
Property (as the case may be) upon delivering to such holder an amount equal to the sum of:
i. the mortgage debt at the time of foreclosure or action in lieu of
foreclosure, less all appropriate credits, including those resulting from
collection and application of rentals and other income received during
foreclosure proceedings;
ii. all expense with respect to the foreclosure;
iii. the net expense, if any, exclusive of general overhead, incurred by
such holder in and as a direct result of the subsequent management of
the Property;
iv. the costs of any improvements made by such holder; and
V. an amount equivalent to the interest that would have accrued on the
aggregate of such amounts had all such amounts become part of the
mortgage debt and such debt had continued in existence.
F. Commission's Option to Cure Mortgage Default. Prior to the Commission's issuance
of a Certificate of Completion, if the Developer or any successor in interest defaults or breaches any
of its obligations under any mortgage or other instrument creating an encumbrance or lien upon any
part of the Property, the Commission at its option may cure such default or breach. If this occurs,
the Developer or successor in interest shall reimburse the Commission for all costs incurred by the
Commission in curing such default or breach. Such reimbursement shall be in addition to and
without limitation upon any other rights or remedies to which the Commission is entitled. Any such
lien shall be subject always to the lien (including any lien contemplated, because of advances yet to
be made) of any then existing mortgages on the Property authorized by the Agreement, including
any lien contemplated, because of advances yet to be made.
G. Mortgaee and Holder. For the purposes of this Agreement: the term "mortgage" shall
include a deed of trust or other instrument creating an encumbrance or lien upon any part of the
Property as security for a loan to construct and otherwise finance the Project; the term "holder" in
reference to a mortgage shall include any insurer or guarantor of any obligation or condition secured
Z
by such mortgage or deed of trust, including, but not limited to, the Federal Housing Commissioner,
the Administrator of Veterans Affairs, and any successor in office of either such official.
SECTION X. REMEDIES.
A. In General. Except as otherwise provided in the Agreement, upon any default in or
breach of the Agreement by either party or any successor to such party, such party (or successor),
upon written notice from the other, shall proceed immediately to cure or remedy such default or
breach within thirty (30) days after receiving the notice. If action is not taken or not diligently
pursued, or the default or breach is not cured or remedied within a reasonable time, the aggrieved
party may institute proceedings necessary or desirable in its opinion to cure and remedy the default
or breach, including, but not limited to, proceedings to compel specific performance by the party in
default or breach of its obligations.
B. Termination by Developer Prior to Conveyance.
1. If the Commission does not tender conveyance or possession of the Property
in the manner and condition and by the date provided in the Agreement, and
any such failure is not cured within forty-five (45) days after the date of
written demand by the Developer, the Agreement shall be terminated at the
option of the Developer, by written notice to the Commission, and, except for
return of the Deposit, neither the Commission nor the Developer shall have
any further rights against or liability to the other under the Agreement:
2. If the Developer furnishes evidence reasonably satisfactory to the
Commission that, after and despite reasonably diligent effort for a period of
sixty (60) days after the date of this Agreement, it has been unable to obtain
mortgage financing for the Project on a basis and on terms that would
generally be considered satisfactory by builders or contractors for
construction of the nature and type of the Project, the Developer shall, after
having submitted such evidence and if so requested by the Commission,
continue to make diligent efforts to obtain such financing for a period of sixty
(60) days after such request. If the Developer fails to obtain financing after
efforts listed above, then the Agreement shall, at the option of the
Commission or the Developer, be terminated by written notice thereof to the
other party, and neither the Commission nor the Developer shall have any
further rights against or liability to the other under the Agreement excepting
that the Commission will retain the Deposit as provided under Section III
herein.
C. Termination by Commission Prior to Conveyance.
In the event that:
(a). prior to conveyance of the Property to the Developer and in violation of the
Agreement:
10
i. the Developer (or successor in interest) assigns or attempts to assign
the Agreement or any rights therein or the Property, or
ii. there is any change in the ownership of the Developer or with respect
to the identity of the parties holding partnership interest in the
Developer or the degree thereof, which the Commission reasonably
has refused to approve; or
(b). the Developer does not submit reasonably satisfactory architectural and site
plans, or evidence of necessary equity capital and mortgage financing, in
satisfactory form and in the manner and by the dates respectively provided
in the Agreement therefor; or
(c). the Developer does not pay the Purchase Price and take title to the Property
upon tender of conveyance by the Commission pursuant to the Agreement,
then the Agreement and any rights of the Developer in the Agreement and the Property shall, at the
option of the Commission, without need of the consent of the Developer, be terminated: Provided,
however, that with respect to any default or failure referred to in subdivisions (a), (b), or (c) of this
Section X, Subsection C a period of thirty (30) days shall be given to cure such failure or default
after the date of written demand by the Commission shall be given to cure such failure or default.
In the event of any default or failure referred to in subdivisions (a) (b) or (c) of this Section
X, Subsection C, which remains uncured by the Developer after notice and opportunity to cure have
been provided by the Commission, the Deposit shall be retained by the Commission as liquidated
damages and as its property without any deduction, offset, or recoupment whatsoever. Neither the
Developer (or successor in interest) nor the Commission shall have any further rights against or
liability to the other under the Agreement.
D. Revesting Title in Commission upon Happening of Event Subsequent to Convey
to Developer. If subsequent to conveying any part of the Property to the Developer and prior to
completion of the Project as certified by the Commission:
1. the Developer (or successor in interest) shall default in or violate its
obligations with respect to the construction of the Project, including the
nature and the dates for the beginning and completion thereof, or shall
abandon or substantially suspend construction work, and any such default,
violation, abandonment, or suspension shall not be cured, ended, or remedied
within three (3) months [six (6) months, if the default is with respect to the
date of completion of the construction] after written demand by the
Commission so to do; or
2. the Developer (or successor in interest) shall fail to pay real estate taxes or
assessments on the Property when due, or shall place thereon any
encumbrance or lien unauthorized by the Agreement, or shall cause any levy
11
or attachment to be made, or any materialmen's or mechanics' lien, or any
other unauthorized encumbrance or lien to attach, and such taxes or
assessments are not paid, or the encumbrance or lien removed or discharged
or provision reasonably satisfactory to the Commission made for such
payment, removal, or discharge, within ninety (90) days after written demand
by the Commission so to do; or
3. there is, in violation of the Agreement, any transfer of any part of the
Property, or any change in the ownership or distribution of the stock of the
Developer, or with respect to the identity of the parties in control of the
Developer or the degree thereof as provided in Section VIII, and such
violation shall not be cured within sixty (60) days after written demand by the
Commission to the Developer,
then the Commission shall have the right to re-enter and take possession of the Property and to
terminate and revest in the Commission the estate conveyed by the Deed to the Developer. The intent
of this provision, together with other provisions of the Agreement, is that the conveyance of the
Property to the Developer shall be made upon, and that the Deed shall contain, a condition
subsequent to the effect that the event of any default, failure, violation, or other action or inaction
by the Developer specified in this paragraph D the Developer's failure to remedy, end, or abrogate
such default, failure, violation, or other action or inaction, within the period and in the manner stated
in such subdivisions, the Commission at its option may declare a termination in favor of the
Commission of the title, and of all the rights and interest in and to the Property conveyed by the
Deed to the Developer, and that such title and all rights and interests of the Developer, and any
assigns or successors in interest to and in the Property, shall revert to the Commission; provided, that
such condition subsequent and any revesting of title as a result thereof in the Commission:
1. shall always be subject to and limited by, and shall not defeat, render invalid,
or limit in any way, (i) the lien of any mortgage authorized by the Agreement,
and (ii) any rights or interests provided in the Agreement for the protection
of the holders of such mortgages; and
2. shall not apply to individual parts of the Property, if any, (or in the case of
parts leased, the leasehold interest) on which the construction thereon has
been completed under the Agreement and for which a Certificate of
Completion has been issued as provided in Section VI.
In addition to, and without in any way limiting the Commission's right to reentry as provided
for in the preceding paragraph, the Commission shall have the right to retain the Deposit, as provided
in Section III hereof, without any deduction, offset or recoupment whatsoever, in the event of a
default, violation or failure of the Developer as specified in the preceding paragraph.
E. Resale of Reacquired Property, Disposition of Proceeds. Upon the revesting in the
Commission of title to the Property or any part thereof as provided in paragraph D above, the
Commission shall, pursuant to its responsibilities under State law, use its best efforts to resell the
12
Property or part thereof (subject to such mortgage liens and leasehold interests as set forth in
paragraph D above) as soon and in such manner as the Commission shall find feasible and consistent
with the objectives of State law and of the Plan to a qualified and responsible party or parties (as
determined by the Commission) who will assume the obligation of making or completing the
construction of the Project in its stead or of another project as shall be satisfactory to the
Commission and in accordance with the uses specified for such Property or part thereof in the Plan.
Upon such resale of the Property, the proceeds shall be applied:
First, to reimburse the Commission, on its own behalf or on behalf of the
City, for all costs and expenses incurred by the Commission, including but
not limited to:
(a). salaries of personnel, in connection with the recapture, management,
and resale of the Property or part thereof, but less any income derived
by the Commission from the Property or part thereof in connection
with recapture such management or resale;
(b). all taxes, assessments, and water and sewer charges with respect to
the Property or part thereof, or, in the event the Property is exempt
from taxation or assessment or such charges during the period of
ownership thereof by the Commission, an amount, if paid, equal to
such taxes, assessments, or charges, as determined by the appropriate
assessing officials, as would have been payable if the Property were
not so exempt;
(c). any payments made or needed to be made to discharge any
encumbrances or liens existing on the Property or part thereof at the
time of revesting of title in the Commission or to discharge or prevent
from attaching or being made any subsequent encumbrances or liens
due to obligations, defaults, or acts of the Developer, its successors
or transferees;
(d). any expenditures made or obligations incurred in making or
completing the construction or any part thereof on the Property or
part thereof,
(e). and any amounts otherwise owing the Commission by the Developer
and its successor or transferee; and
2. Second, to reimburse the Developer, its successor or transferee, up to the
amount equal to:
(a). the sum of the Purchase Price paid by it for the Property (or allocable
to the part thereof) and the cash actually invested by the Developer in
construction on the Property or part thereof, less
13
(b). any gains or income withdrawn or made by the Developer from the
Agreement or the Property.
Any balance remaining after such reimbursements shall be retained by the Commission as its
property.
F. Other Rights and Remedies of Commission, No Waiver by The Commission
shall have the right to institute such actions or proceedings as it may deem desirable for effectuating
the purposes of this Section X. This would include the right to execute and record or file among the
public land records in the office in which the Deed is recorded a written declaration of the
termination of all the right, title, and interest of the Developer, and (except for such individual parts
upon which construction has been completed under the Agreement and for which a Certificate of
Completion as provided in Section VI is to be delivered, and subject to such mortgage liens and
leasehold interests as provided in Section X, paragraph D hereof) its successors in interest and
assigns, in the Property, and the revesting of title in the Commission. Any delay by the Commission
in instituting or prosecuting any such actions or proceedings or otherwise asserting its rights under
this Section X shall not operate as a waiver of such rights or to deprive it of or limit such rights in
any way. This provision intends that the Commission should not be constrained, so as to avoid the
risk of being deprived of or limited in the exercise of the remedy provided in this paragraph because
of concepts of waiver, laches, or otherwise, to exercise such remedy at a time when it may still hope
otherwise to resolve the problems created by the default involved; nor shall any waiver in fact made
by the Commission with respect to any specific default by the Developer under this paragraph be
considered or treated as a waiver of the Commission's rights to any other defaults by the Developer
under this paragraph or with respect to the particular default except to the extent specifically waived
in writing.
G. Enforced Delay in Performance for Causes Beyond Control of Party. For the purposes
of any of the provisions of the Agreement, neither the Commission nor the Developer, as the case
may be, nor any successors in interest, shall be considered in breach of or in default in its obligations
with respect to the preparation of the Property for the Project, or the beginning and completion of
construction, or progress in respect thereto, in the event of enforced delay in the performance of such
obligations due to unforeseeable causes beyond its control and without its fault or negligence. These
include, but are not limited to, acts of God, acts of the public enemy, acts of the federal government,
acts of the other party, fires, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes, freight embargoes,
and unusually severe weather, or delays of subcontractors due to such causes. The purpose and intent
of this provision is that in the event of the occurrence of any such enforced delay, the time or times
for performance of the obligations of the Commission with respect to the preparation of the Property
for development or of the Developer with respect to construction of the Project as the case may be,
shall be extended for the period of the enforced delays as determined by the Commission. The party
seeking the benefit of the provisions of this paragraph shall, within ten (10) days after the beginning
of the enforced delay, have first notified the other party thereof in writing and of the cause or causes
thereof, and shall have requested an extension for the period of the enforced delay.

Agreement, whether provided by law or by the Agreement, shall be cumulative. The exercise by
14

different times, of any other such remedies for the same default or breach or of any of its remedies
for any other default or breach by the other party. No waiver made by either such party with respect
to the performance, manner or time thereof, any obligation of the other party, or any condition to its
own obligation under the Agreement shall be considered a waiver of any rights of the party making
the waiver with respect to that particular obligation of the other party or condition to its own
obligation beyond those expressly waived in writing and to the extent thereof, or a waiver of any
respect in regard to any other rights of the party making the waiver or any other obligations of the
other party.
I. Party in Position of Surety With Respect to Obligations. The Developer, for itself,
its successors and assigns, and for all other persons who are or who shall become liable upon or
subject to any obligation or burden under the Agreement, whether by express or implied assumption
or otherwise, hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any and all claims or defenses
otherwise available on the ground of its or their being or having become a person in the position of
a surety, whether real, personal, or otherwise or whether by agreement or operation of law, including,
without limitation on the generality of the foregoing, any and all claims and defenses based upon
extension of time, indulgence, or modification of terms of contract.
