rights related to the assignment of Subleases, i.e. finding a qualified purchaser for resales, or
renters in the case of rental units (unless the rental units are owned by Initial Lessee and Initial
Lessee chooses to manage the retained units,then in such event Initial Lessee shall have the right
to find qualified renters for said rental units where that right is not in conflict with the Affordable
Restrictions), to the Monroe County Housing Authority, or to any other governmental entity or

(I a) The mortgage(s) encumbering the Affordable Housing Unit shall not exceed
100% of the maximum allowable sale price of the Affordable Housing Unit as set forth in the
Affordable Restrictions;
(b) Sublessees shall not be entitled to mortgage their respective leasehold interests
in the event the terms of the note, which is secured by the mortgage., may result in negative
amortization,unless otherwise approved by Lessor;
(c) In the event of foreclosure sale by a Sublessee's mortgagee or the delivery of
an assignment or other conveyance to a Sublessee's mortgagee in lieu of foreclosure with respect
to any real property subject to the provisions of this Lease, said mortgagee, or the purchaser at
foreclosure, shall comply with the provisions of Article X11. No sale of any Affordable Housing
Unit shall be permitted at an amount in excess of that allowed under the Affordable Restrictions
and shall otherwise fully comply with all applicable Affordable Restrictions. Any Affordable
Housing thut accepted in lieu of foreclosure or as to which a mortgagee intends to foreclose shall

preclude potential purchasers approved by Lessor from bidding at any foreclosure sale and,where
successftil, purchasing the subject Affordable Housing Unit at the foreclosure sale price in
accordance with Article X11: and
(d) The parties recognize that it would be contrary to the fundamental affordable
housing concept of this Lease and an incentive to abuse Sublessee's authorization to encumber its
leasehold interest with a mortgage if Sublessee could realize more in loan or sale proceeds than
their perraitted purchase or resale price as a result of any transaction. Accordingly, Sublessee
hereby irrevocably assigns to Lessor (or the Monroe County Housing Authority or other Lessor
designee)any and all net proceeds from the sale of any interest in the Demised Premises remaining
after payment of costs of foreclosure and satisfaction of the lien of any mortgage which would
have otherwise been payable to Subleases,to the extent such net proceeds exceed the net proceeds
that Sublessee would have received had the interests been sold pursuant to the Affordable
Restrictions. Sublessee hereby authorizes and instructs the mortgagee or any party conducting the
closing of a sale or through an unauthorized transfer to pay the amount of said excess directly to
Lessor. In the event, for any reason,such excess proceeds are paid to Sublessee, Sublessee hereby
agrees to promptly pay the amount of such excess to Lessor.

rights to the extent those rights do not conflict with or injure Lessor's interests as established under
this Lease. Personal property left on the premises by a Sublessee may be stored,sold,or disposed

ARTICLE I
COMPLIANCE WITH LAND AUTHORITY REQUIREMENTS
In order to comply with the Land Authority's requirements pursuant to section
380.0663(l), et seq., Florida Statutes ("Land Authority Statute") and Monroe County Ordinance
No. 031-1986, the County hereby covenants and agrees as follows:
1.01 The restrictions contained in this Article I shall not expire, shall run with the Subject
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

State or any other entity providing affordable housing on the subject property from setting
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.

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
and expressly agrees to furnish, upon the Land Authority's request, written certification
thereof.
ARTICLE II
CONSIDERATION

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.

breaches any material covenant, agreement or warranty of the County set forth in this Agreement,

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
