Property in perpetuity and shall be binding upon the County.
1.02 Use of the Subject Property shall be restricted to affordable housing as defined in Florida
Statute 380 which requires household income not exceed 160% of the Area Median

more restrictive income limits than those imposed by the Agreement. If the Land Authority
Statute is amended from time to time, Habitat for Humanity shall have the ability to utilize
any portions of the Land Authority Statute thereby amended,which may be less restrictive.
If the Land Authority Statute is not amended to allow families that purchase the homes
constructed by Habitat for Humanity to income qualify at the time of purchase only,Habitat
for Humanity shall have the ability to repay the original contract purchase price Land
Authority paid, shown in Article 11 and this Agreement may be released.
1.03 The County is responsible for ensuring compliance with the restrictions in this Article I

thereof.

of said Land Authority funding for the foregoing purposes, the County and Land Authority have
entered into this Agreement.
ARTICLE III
RELIANCE
In performing its duties hereunder, the Land Authority may rely upon statements and
certificates of the County, its tenants, and the residents of the Subject Property believed to be
genuine and to have been executed by the proper person or persons, and upon audits of the books
and records of the County pertaining to occupancy of the Subject Property.

and if such default remains uncured for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof
shall have been given by the Land Authority to the County, then the Land Authority may take any
action at law or in equity or otherwise to address said default(s). However, if the default stated in
such notice can be corrected, but not within the thirty (30) day period, and if the County adopts a
plan to correct or cure the default and commences the correction within the thirty (30) day period
(subject to any rights of tenants in possession of units under a valid lease agreement), and thereafter
