BACKGROUND
A. The Grantor holds or will acquire a leasehold interest in the Property and intends to
construct a 124-unit rental housing development, consisting of one residential building, at
the Property (the "Project").
B. As a condition of the Loan, the CPA and the ARPA programs, the Grantor has agreed that
this Restriction be imposed upon the Property as a covenant running with the land and
binding upon any successor to the Grantor, as owner thereof.
RESTRICTIONS
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, the Grantor hereby covenants as follows:
1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used herein are defined herein and in Exhibit D attached
hereto.
2. Use Restrictions. The Property shall be reserved and used for the Permitted Uses and for
no other purpose. The Restricted Units shall include at least 62 one-bedroom Units, 38 two-
bedroom Units and 24 three-bedroom Units. All 124 of the Restricted Units shall be deemed to be
assisted under the CPA Program and shall be affordable for 99 years. Eleven of the Restricted
Units shall be deemed to be assisted under the HOME Program ("HOME Assisted Units") provided
that certain of the provisions of the HOME Program may cease to be effective 20 years after the

Restricted Units with respect to other programs hereunder. As of the date hereof, the Property
has or is expected to have the benefit of a contract for 8 project-based vouchers under the
Massachusetts Rental Voucher Program (the "MRVP Contract") and two contracts for a total of 116
project based vouchers under Section 8 of the United States Housing Act of 1937, as amended
(the "Section 8 Contracts"). Furthermore, if during the Term the MRVP Contract or one or more of
the Section 8 Contracts is not renewed at the end of its term or is terminated or otherwise is no longer
in full force and effect, the Holders will consider a request by the Grantor to modify the mix of
Restricted Units by converting Extremely Low Income Units to Very Low Income Units or Low Income
Units. A decision by the Holders on such a request shall take into consideration the financial viability
of the Property and shall be made in the sole reasonable discretion of the Participating Lenders who
have required such Extremely Low Income Units, as shown on Exhibit C, and shall be further subject
to the requirements of the DR&O, with respect to the fifty (50) units at the Property that are former
public housing units. The Property also shall include at least six (7) Units accessible to individuals
with mobility impairments (consisting of _ Studio Units, 3 one-bedroom Units, 2 two-bedroom
Units, 2 three-bedroom units and _ four-bedroom Units) and at least two (3) additional Units
accessible to individuals with sensory impairments (consisting of__ Studio Units, 2 one-bedroom
Units, 1 two-bedroom Units, _ three-bedroom units and _ four-bedroom Units). Each Unit shall
contain complete facilities for living, sleeping, eating, cooking and sanitation that are to be used
on other than a transient basis. Each Unit shall meet the housing quality standards set forth in
the regulations of HUD at 24 C.F.R. §982.401 or any successor thereto, the accessibility
requirements at 24 C.F.R. Part 8 or any successor thereto (which implement Section 504 of the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973), and, if applicable, the design and construction requirements of 24
C.F.R. §100.205 or any successor thereto (which implement the Fair Housing Act). Throughout
the term hereof, the Grantor shall maintain the Property and the Improvements in good, safe and
habitable condition in all respects and in full compliance with all applicable laws, by-laws, rules
and regulations of any governmental (or quasi-governmental) body with jurisdiction over matters
concerning the condition of the Property.
3. Occupancy Restrictions. The following restrictions shall apply during the period
commencing with the first date on which any Units are occupied and continuing for the balance of
the Affordability Term, subject always to any applicable rent restrictions of the federal low-income
housing tax credit program under Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,
and any provision herein that conflicts with the requirements of the federal low-income housing
tax credit program shall be suspended so long as the restrictions under the federal low income
housing tax credit program are in effect.

shall be leased exclusively to Low Income Families ("Low Income Units"). With respect to
each Low Income Unit designated as a HOME Assisted Unit, the monthly rent charged to a

an amount equal to (x) one-twelfth of thirty percent (30%) of sixty-five percent (65%) of the
Bedroom Adjusted AMI, minus (y) if applicable, an allowance established by the Holders for
any utilities and services (excluding telephone) to be paid by the occupying Family or (z) the

not a HOME Assisted Unit, the monthly rent charged to a Family occupying a Low Income Unit
shall be one-twelfth of thirty percent (30%) of sixty percent (60%) of the Bedroom Adjusted
AMI, minus (y) if applicable, an allowance established by the Holders for any utilities and
services (excluding telephone) to be paid by the occupying Family. A Family who resides in a
Restricted Unit, who qualified as a Low Income Family at the time of such Family's initial
occupancy at the Property and whose Household Income exceeds sixty percent (60%), but
does not exceed eighty percent (80%) of the Family-size Adjusted AMI, shall continue to be
treated as a Low Income Family and the foregoing maximum rent shall continue to apply to
such Family. A Family who resides in a Restricted Unit, who qualified as a Low Income Family
at the time of such Family's initial occupancy at the Property and whose Household Income
exceeds eighty percent (80%) of the Family-size Adjusted AMI, shall, from and after the
expiration of the then-current term of such Family's lease, no longer be treated as an income-
qualified Family and must pay as monthly rent the Over-income Rent.

exceeds thirty percent (30%), but does not exceed fifty percent (50%) of the Family-size
Adjusted AMI, shall continue to be treated as an Extremely Low Income Family but, from
and after the expiration of the then-current term of such Family's lease, must pay as
monthly rent the Over-income Rent. A Family who resides in a Restricted Unit, who
qualified as an Extremely Low Income Family at the time of such Family's initial occupancy
at the Property and whose Household Income exceeds fifty percent (50%), but does not
exceed eighty percent (80%), of the Family-size Adjusted AMI, shall, from and after the
expiration of the then-current term of such Family's lease, be treated as a Low Income
Family and must pay as monthly rent the lesser of (x) the maximum amount payable by
the Family under the laws of the municipality in which the Property is located or of The
Commonwealth of Massachusetts, (y) one-twelfth of thirty percent (30%) of sixty percent
(60%) of the Bedroom Adjusted AMI (minus, if applicable, an allowance established by the
Holders for any utilities and services [excluding telephone] to be paid by the occupying
Family) A Family who resides in a Restricted Unit, who qualified as an Extremely Low
Income Family at the time of such Family's initial occupancy at the Property and whose
Household Income exceeds eighty percent (80%) of the Family-size Adjusted AMI, shall,

AFFORDABLE HOUSING RESTRICTION
Act of 2008 (Public Law 110-289) ("HERA"), even if such rents would be above those that
would otherwise be permitted under the above provisions.
D. MHP First Mortgage Affordability Requirements. In order to satisfy the affordability
requirements of the MHP first mortgage loan at least twenty-five of the total Units shall be
Very Low Income Units.
E. Applicable Lease Term, Change of Status. References in the foregoing provisions of the
"then-current term of such Family's lease" shall refer to the term of the lease or
occupancy agreement in effect on the date of the required delivery of the income
certification that reflects (or that, if duly delivered, would have reflected) the applicable
increase in such Family's income. If, with the Holders' consent, the Grantor does not
require that a lease be signed for a Restricted Unit (e.g., a property providing short-term
transitional housing), the provisions set forth above shall apply, except that the applicable
date on which a Family's income-qualified status and/or applicable rent restriction is
modified shall be the first day of the month that is at least thirty (30) days following the
date of the required delivery of the income certification that reflects (or that, if duly
delivered, would have reflected) the applicable increase in such Family's income.
F. Federal or State Rental Subsidy. Except with respect to HOME Assisted Units, if a
Restricted Unit or the Family occupying such Unit receives federal or state rental subsidy,
then the Family's contribution towards rent shall be the contribution allowable under the
federal or state rental subsidy program and the maximum rent (i.e., tenant contribution
plus rental subsidy) shall be the rent allowable under the federal or state rental subsidy
program. In the case of HOME Assisted Units, if a Restricted Unit receives federal or state
project-based rental subsidy and the occupying Family qualifies as a Very Low Income
Family and pays as a contribution towards rent not more than thirty percent (30%) of
one-twelfth of the Family's Household Income, then the maximum rent (i.e., tenant
contribution plus rental subsidy) shall be the rent allowable under the federal or state
rental subsidy program.
G. Next Available Unit Rule. If at any time fewer than the required number of Units are
leased, rented or occupied by Extremely Low Income Families, the next available Units
shall all be leased, rented or otherwise made available to Extremely Low Income Families
until the required•number of Units occupied by Extremely Low Income Families is again
obtained. Subject to the foregoing, available Units shall be leased, rented or otherwise
made available to Low Income Families. The foregoing provisions shall be applied so as to
maintain a mix of Restricted Units that is comparable in size, features and number of
bedrooms to the originally designated Restricted Units (i.e., a Unit will not be considered
an available Unit for purposes of this Paragraph if classification of such Unit as a Restricted
Unit would cause the then current mix of Restricted Units to no longer be comparable to
the original mix of Restricted Units described in Section 2 above and as shown on Exhibit
C).
4. Rent Schedule. Except as is set forth in Sections 3.A., 3.13., 3.C. and 3.F, projected initial
monthly maximum rents including utilities for all Restricted Units shall be as set forth in Exhibit B

and Exhibit B-1 attached hereto. If permitted maximum rents and utility allowances as reflected
in the annual schedule of rents and utility allowances issued by EOHLC increase prior to initial
occupancy of the Project, the initial monthly maximum rents and utility allowances shall be as set
forth in the latest schedule issued by EOHLC. Notwithstanding the rent restrictions set forth in
Section 3 above, the maximum monthly rent permitted to be charged for a Restricted Unit at any
particular income level is not required to be lower than the maximum rent applicable at such
income level pursuant to Exhibit B and Exhibit B-1 or such higher initial maximum rent applicable
at such income level pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, regardless of changes in
fair market rents or in median income over time (subject only to the restrictions applicable in the
event of any federal or state subsidy, as set forth in Section 3 above). Rents for Restricted Units
shall not be increased above applicable maximums without all Holders' prior written approval of a
specific request by the Grantor for a rent increase, except for increases implemented in
accordance with an annual schedule of maximum rents and allowances issued by EOHLC.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, rent increases shall be subject to the provisions of outstanding
leases and shall not be implemented without at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice by the
Grantor to all affected Residents and notwithstanding any provision in a lease or occupancy
agreement to the contrary, in the event of any increase in the rent payable by such Residents in
connection with an increase in the income of such Residents, consistent with the terms hereof, the
Residents shall have the right to terminate their lease or occupancy agreement by written notice
to the Grantor delivered within such thirty-day period.
S. Resident Selection.
A. Nondiscrimination. The Grantor shall not discriminate on the basis of race, religious
creed, color, sex, age, marital status, sexual orientation (which shall not include persons
whose sexual orientation involves minor children as the sex object), gender identity, genetic
information, veteran status, membership in the armed forces, ancestry, national origin,
handicap, blindness, hearing impairment, or because a person possesses a trained guide dog
as a consequence of blindness, hearing impairment or other handicap of such person or any
other basis prohibited by law in the lease, use and occupancy of the Units or in connection
with the employment or application for employment of persons for the operation and
management of the Units. The Grantor shall not discriminate against, or refuse to lease,
rent or otherwise make available the Units to, a holder of a certificate or voucher under
the Federal Rental Certificate Program or the Federal Rental Voucher Program or a holder
of a comparable document evidencing participation in a HOME Program tenant-based
assistance program because of the status of the prospective tenant as a holder of such
certificate, voucher or comparable HOME Program tenant-based assistance document.
B. Selection Policies. The Grantor shall adopt and submit to the Holders for approval
resident selection policies and criteria for the Restricted Units that:
(i) Are consistent with the purpose of providing housing for a Low Income Family or an
Extremely Low Income Family, as defined below and required herein;

Holders. The affirmative marketing plan must comply with all applicable statutes,regulations
and executive orders, with all Holders' affirmative marketing requirements and with EOHLC's
directives reflecting the agreement between EOHLC and HUD in the case of NAACP, Boston
Chapter v. Kemp. The approved marketing plan and the approved resident selection policies
and criteria shall be adhered to in every respect and any changes thereto shall be subject to
the prior written approval of the Holders. The affirmative fair housing marketing plan shall
require the Grantor to create a listing for all Restricted Units with the Housing Navigator
(www.housingnavigatorma.org), which listing shall be updated and confirmed prior to holding
a tenant-selection lottery for the Restricted Units and shall thereafter be updated at least
annually or more frequently if appropriate in EOHLC's opinion (e.g. in connection with the re-
opening of any waiting list for Restricted Units). The affirmative fair housing marketing plan
shall also require the Grantor to notify the Housing Navigator when waiting lists for Restricted
Units open and close and whenever there is a Restricted Unit available on a first come, first
served basis. The Grantor shall list vacancies in Restricted Units in the MassAccess Housing
Registry at http://www.massaccesshousingregistry.org and on the Housing Navigator at
http://housingnavigatorma.org.
6. Lease Form. The Grantor shall not include in any lease for a Restricted Unit any of the

Grantor in a lawsuit brought in connection with the lease.
B. Agreement by the tenant that the Grantor may take, hold, or sell personal property of
household members without notice to the tenant and a court decision on the rights of the
parties. This prohibition, however, does not apply to an agreement by the tenant
concerning disposition of personal property remaining in the Unit after the tenant has
moved out of the Unit. The Grantor may dispose of such personal property in accordance
with state law.
C. Agreement by the tenant not to hold the Grantor or the Grantor's agents legally
responsible for any action or failure to act, whether intentional or negligent.

F. Agreement by the tenant to waive any right to a trial by jury.
G. Agreement by the tenant to waive the tenant's right to appeal, or to otherwise challenge
in court, a court decision in connection with the lease.
H. Agreement by the tenant to pay attorney's fees or other legal costs even if the tenant wins
in a court proceeding by the Grantor against the tenant. The tenant, however, may be
obligated to pay costs if the tenant loses.
All leases for Restricted Units shall be consistent with the requirements set forth herein, shall be
on a form reasonably approved by the Holders, shall be for terms of not less than one (1) year
(unless a shorter term is specified by mutual agreement between the Resident and the Grantor,
subject to the Holders' program requirements) and shall require tenants to provide information
required for the Grantor to meet its reporting requirements hereunder. The Grantor may not
terminate the tenancy or refuse to renew the lease of an occupant of a Restricted Unit except (i)
for serious or repeated violation of the terms and conditions of the lease; (ii) for violations of
applicable federal, state or local law; (iii) for completion of the tenancy period for transitional
housing; or (iv) for other good cause. Any termination or refusal to renew must be preceded by
not less than thirty (30) days by the Grantor's service on the tenant of a written notice specifying
the grounds for the action.
7. Transfer Restrictions. The Grantor shall not sell, transfer, convey, rent (except for
leases or occupancy agreements made in connection with the Permitted Uses that are
substantially in the form approved by the Holders), encumber as security for financing, or in any
other way exchange all or any portion of the Property nor shall the Grantor permit the sale,
transfer or pledge of any direct or indirect interests in the Grantor, without the express written
permission of the Holders. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, a withdrawal by the investor
member of Grantor shall be deemed to be a transfer of an interest in the Grantor. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Permitted Encumbrances are hereby approved by the
Holders. Notwithstanding the foregoing: (i) the investor member interest of Grantor held by RBC
Community Investments, LLC (the "Investor") may be transferred to an entity in which the
Investor or an affiliate of the Investor is the general partner or managing member, provided that
the Holders receive notice of such transfer and (ii) the Grantor's investor member may remove
and replace the managing member of the Grantor in accordance with the provisions of the
Grantor's operating agreement upon the consent of the Holders, which consent will not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and (iii) any transfer of a direct or indirect interest
in Beacon Communities LLC shall not require the express written permission of EOHLC. In
connection with any transfer requiring the consent of the Holders, the Grantor shall provide such
information to the Holders as the Holders may reasonably request, shall pay a fee to EOHLC
pursuant to EOHLC's then-current fee schedule and shall pay all legal fees incurred by the Holders
in connection with such transfer request.
8. Term of Restrictions; Covenants to Run with Land. The term of this Restriction shall be
perpetual. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein or in any of the other Loan
Documents, this Restriction shall remain in full force for the full term set forth herein including
any extension, notwithstanding any prepayment of the Loan. The restrictions contained herein

foregoing, at the end of the term of affordability for a particular program, as set forth on Exhibit
C, as it may have been extended, provided that all obligations under the loan provided by such
Program have been satisfied in full at that time, as determined by the appropriate Holder, the
Grantor may request that the Holders modify this Restriction to eliminate the requirements
imposed by or otherwise relating to such Program set forth in this Restriction. The parties shall
cooperate to prepare an appropriate amendment to this Restriction, which amendment shall be
duly recorded with the Registry of Deeds by the Grantor at its cost and expense.
9. Subsequent Conveyances. Each and every contract, deed or other instrument hereafter
executed conveying the Property or portion thereof shall expressly provide that such conveyance
is subject to this Restriction, provided, however, that the covenants contained herein shall survive
and be effective regardless of whether such contract, deed or other instrument hereafter executed
conveying the Property or portion thereof provides that such conveyance is subject to this
Restriction.
10. Income Verification. The Grantor represents, warrants and covenants that the
determination of whether a Family occupying a Restricted Unit meets the income requirements set
forth herein shall be made by the Grantor at the time of leasing of a Restricted Unit and thereafter

15. Enforcement. Upon violation by the Grantor of any of the provisions of this Restriction
that remains uncured for more than thirty (30) days after notice thereof from any Holder (or for
such longer period not to exceed thirty (30) days as shall be reasonably required under the
circumstances to cure such violation, provided that the Grantor has commenced the cure of such
violation within the initial thirty (30) day period and is thereafter diligently pursuing the cure to
completion), any Holder, at its option (without liability to any party for failure to do so), may
apply to any court, state or federal, for specific performance of this Restriction or an injunction
against any violation of this Restriction, or for such other relief as may be appropriate, since the
injury arising from the default under any of the terms of this Restriction would be irreparable and
the amount of damage would be difficult to ascertain and may not be compensable by money
alone. In each such default notice, the Holder giving such notice shall specify the violation in
question and the actions such Holder believes are necessary and feasible to remedy such
violation. No waiver by a Holder of any breach of this Restriction shall be deemed a waiver of
such breach by any other Holder or a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. No act or
omission by any Holder, other than a writing signed by it waiving a breach by the Grantor in
accordance with the next Section hereof, shall constitute a waiver thereof. Any Holder shall be
entitled to recover from the Grantor all of such Holder's reasonable costs of an action for
enforcement of this Restriction, including reasonable attorneys' fees (including the time of any in-
house counsel of a Holder charged at the same rate as comparable outside attorneys). By its
acceptance of this Restriction, no Holder undertakes any liability or obligation relating to the
condition of the Property. Without limiting any other rights or remedies available to a Holder, any
transfer of all or any other portion of the Property in violation of the provisions hereof, in the
absence of a certification from all Holders approving, or waiving any restrictions with respect to,
the same, all as set forth above, shall, to the maximum extent permitted by law, be voidable by
any Holder, by suit in equity to enforce the restrictions hereof.
16. Compliance Certification. Upon written request therefor, a Holder shall provide a
statement in form acceptable for recording certifying that the Grantor is in full compliance with
the provisions hereof as relate to that Holder, provided such Holder believes that the Grantor is so
in compliance. Upon receipt of a written request therefor, if a Holder shall believe that the

AFFORDABLE HOUSING RESTRICTION
Grantor is not so in compliance, such Holder shall provide such a recordable certification
specifying in detail the section or sections hereof with which such Holder believes the Grantor not
to be in compliance. Any third party dealing with the Grantor may rely for all purposes on the
truth and completeness of such a certification of a Holder.
17. Senior Lender Foreclosure.
A. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, but subject to the provisions of this
Section, if the holder of record of a first mortgage granted to a state or national bank,
state or federal savings and loan association, cooperative bank, mortgage company, trust
company, insurance company or other institutional or governmental lender shall acquire
the Property by reason of foreclosure or similar remedial action under the provisions of
such mortgage or upon conveyance of the Property in lieu of foreclosure, and provided
that the holder of such mortgage has given the Holders not less than sixty (60) days' prior
written notice of its intention to foreclose upon its mortgage or to accept a conveyance of
the Property in lieu of foreclosure to attempt to structure a workout or other arrangement
to avoid such foreclosure, conveyance in lieu of foreclosure, or similar remedial action,
then except as provided below, the rights and restrictions herein contained shall not apply
to such mortgage holder upon such acquisition of the Property or to any purchaser of the
Property from such mortgage holder, and such Property shall, subject to Paragraph B.
below, thereafter be free from all such rights and restrictions. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the rights and restrictions contained herein shall terminate only to the extent it
is financially infeasible to maintain the level of affordability required by this Restriction or
some lesser level of affordability (i.e., fewer Restricted Units or Restricted Units affordable
to Families with higher Household Incomes than those required by this Restriction).
"Financially infeasible" shall mean (i) with respect to the operation of the Property, that
the rent and other income from the Property is, or is reasonably projected to be, less than
the reasonable expenses required (or reasonably projected to be required) to maintain and
operate the Property and (ii) with respect to a sale of the Property, that the restrictions
would prevent (or be reasonably projected to prevent) the senior mortgage holder from
recovering all amounts due and owing with respect to its financing of the Property,
including without limitation, principal, interest, charges, costs, expenses, late fees and
prepayment premiums. Financial infeasibility shall be determined by the senior mortgage
holder in its sole discretion after consultation with the Holders. The senior mortgage
holder shall notify the Holders of the extent to which the rights and restrictions contained
herein shall be terminated and the Grantor agrees to execute any documents required to
modify this Restriction to conform to the senior mortgage holder's determination. The
Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints any senior mortgage holder and each of the Holders,
its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, to execute,
acknowledge and deliver any such documents on behalf of the Grantor should the Grantor
fail or refuse to do so.
B. The rights and restrictions contained herein shall not lapse if the Property is acquired
through foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure by (i) the Grantor, (ii) any person with a
direct or indirect financial interest in the Grantor, (iii) any person related to a person
Page 13 of 28,Book:42168 Page:463

aMa
MassDoc
AFFORDABLE HOUSING RESTRICTION
described in clause (ii) by blood, adoption or marriage, (iv) any person who is or at any
time was a business associate of a person described in clause (ii), and (v) any entity in
which any of the foregoing have a direct or indirect financial interest (each a "Related
Party"). Furthermore, if the Property is subsequently acquired by a Related Party during
the period in which this Restriction would have remained in effect but for the provisions of
this Section, this Restriction shall be revived and shall apply to the Property as though it
had never lapsed.
C. In the event such mortgage holder conducts a foreclosure or other proceeding enforcing
its rights under such mortgage and the Property is sold for a price in excess of the sum of
the outstanding principal balances of all notes secured by mortgages of the Property plus
all future advances, accrued interest and all reasonable costs and expenses which the
holders thereof are entitled to recover pursuant to the terms of such mortgages, such
excess shall be paid to the Holders in consideration of the loss of the value and benefit of
the rights and restrictions herein contained and released by the Holders pursuant to this
Section in connection with such proceeding, provided that in the event that such excess
shall be so paid to the Holders by such mortgage holder, the Holders shall thereafter
indemnify such mortgage holder against loss or damage to such mortgage holder resulting
from any claim made by the mortgagor of such mortgage to the extent that such claim is
based upon payment of such excess by such mortgage holder to the Holders in accordance
herewith, provided that such mortgage holder shall give the prompt notice of any such
claim and shall not object to intervention by the Holders in any proceeding relating
thereto. The Holders shall share any such excess pro rata in proportion to the respective
amounts of principal and interest (if any) then outstanding on their portions of the Loan
and the liability of a Holder under the foregoing indemnity shall be limited to the amount
of such excess received by it. To the extent the Grantor possesses any interest in any
amount which would otherwise be payable to the Holders under this Paragraph, to the full
extent permissible by law, the Grantor hereby assigns its interest in such amount to said
mortgage holder for payment to the Holders.
D. This Restriction is senior to the MHP first mortgage loan, as the same may be amended,
modified or restated. MHP may terminate, modify or subordinate this Restriction in
accordance with and subject to the requirements set forth in Paragraphs A. through C. above.
The Grantor agrees to execute any documents required so to terminate, modify or
subordinate this Restriction. The Grantor understands and agrees that, in the event of
foreclosure of the MHP first mortgage loan and the exercise by MHP of the Power of Sale
therein, the Property will be sold subject to the restrictions imposed hereby, unless MHP
exercises its rights to terminate, modify or subordinate this Restriction prior to such sale.
The Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints MHP, or any agent designated by MHP, its true
and lawful attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, to execute, acknowledge and
deliver any such documents on behalf of the Grantor should the Grantor fail or refuse to
do so.
E. Referring specifically to the City's grant of funds under the Community Preservation Act, and
the Units restricted in connection therewith as set forth on Exhibit C (the "City Units"), it is
Page 14 of 28,Book:42168 Page:464

ono
Massooc
AFFORDABLE HOUSING RESTRICTION
hereby agreed that, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 17A to the contrary, the rights
and restrictions contained herein shall not lapse with respect to the City Units if the Grantor's
interest in the Property is acquired through foreclosure of similar remedial action under the
provisions of any mortgage or upon the conveyance of the Grantor's interest in lieu of
foreclosure (including the senior mortgage), without regard to whether it is financially
infeasible to maintain the level of affordability required the City as set forth on Exhibit C, it
being the intent that said rights and restrictions required by the City shall remain in effect in
perpetuity or the longest time permitted by law, which shall be no less than the Affordability
Term.
18. Notices. Except for any notice required under applicable law to be given in a different
manner, any notice, request or other communication which any party hereto may be required or
may desire to give hereunder shall be made in writing, and shall be deemed to have been
properly given if hand delivered, if sent by recognized overnight courier, receipt confirmed, or if
mailed by United States registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested,
addressed to the parties at their respective addresses first set forth above, or to such other address as
the party to be served with notice may have furnished in writing to the party seeking or desiring to
serve notice as a place for the service of notice. A notice sent by any of the foregoing methods shall
be deemed given upon documented receipt or refusal. The Holders shall use reasonable efforts to
send courtesy copies of all notices sent to the Grantor to the Grantor's investor at the address set
forth below, provided that any failure to send such a courtesy copy shall not affect the validity of
any notice: RBC Community Investments, LLC, 600 Superior Avenue, Suite 2300, Cleveland, Ohio
44114, Attention: President and General Counsel, with a copy to Applegate & Thorne-Thomsen,
P.C., 425 S. Financial Place, Suite 1900, Chicago, Illinois 60605, Attention: Bennett P. Applegate.
19. Successors and Assigns; No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Restriction shall be binding
upon the Grantor and its successors and assigns, and shall burden the Property as specified
herein. This Restriction shall also be binding upon the Holders, and shall inure to the benefit of
their successors and assigns, provided that a Holder shall not voluntarily assign its rights
hereunder unless (a) such Holder believes in good faith that it is no longer reasonably capable of
performing its duties hereunder, and (b) such.assignment shall be to a governmental body or an
entity of a similar character and purposes to such Holder which is reasonably capable of
performing such duties hereunder. Notwithstanding the delegation of authority by EOHLC to the
Administrator for the Administrator to act as a Holder hereunder, to MHFA for MHFA to act as a
Holder hereunder and EOHLC shall also be a Holder hereunder and may act at any time in its own
name to pursue any rights and remedies of a Holder hereunder; provided that as to the Grantor or
any third party, any recorded instrument granting any approval or consent or otherwise affecting
the Property under the AHT Program is duly executed by either Administrator or EOHLC and any
recorded instrument granting any approval or consent or otherwise affecting the Property under
the AHTF Program is duly executed by either MHFA or EOHLC and any recorded instrument
granting any approval or consent or otherwise affecting the Property under the ARPA Program or
the CPA Program is duly executed by either the City or EOHLC, shall be binding on the other for
all purposes.

20. Severability; Construction. All rights, powers and remedies provided herein may be
exercised only to the extent that exercise thereof does not violate any applicable law, and are
intended to be limited to the extent necessary so that they will not render this Restriction invalid,
unenforceable or not entitled to be recorded, registered or filed under applicable law. If any
provision or part hereof shall be affected by such holding, the validity of other provisions of this
Restriction and of the balance of any provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, in part
only, shall in no way be affected thereby, and this Restriction shall be construed as if such invalid,
illegal, or unenforceable provision or part hereof had not been contained herein. In the event of
any actual or potential inconsistency between the terms of this Restriction and any of the Statutes
and/or the Regulations, such terms shall be interpreted, to the extent reasonably possible, so as
to reconcile any such inconsistencies. If such provisions cannot reasonably be reconciled, the
provisions of the Statutes, the Regulations and this Restriction, in the foregoing order of priority,
shall control.
21. Governing Law. This Restriction shall be governed by the laws of The Commonwealth of
Massachusetts. Inasmuch as the restrictions contained herein have been imposed upon the
Property in part to satisfy requirements of various governmental bodies referred to herein,
including, without limitation, EOHLC, the restrictions contained herein are intended to be
construed as a restriction held by a governmental body with the benefit of Section 26 of Chapter
184 of the Massachusetts General Laws as existing as of the date hereof, such that the
restrictions contained herein shall not be limited in duration by any rule or operation of law, but
rather shall run for the full term thereof.
22. Recording. The Grantor, at its cost and expense, shall cause this Restriction and any
amendment hereto to be duly recorded with the Registry of Deeds (and if necessary or
appropriate, re-recorded), shall pay or cause to be paid all recording, filing, or other taxes, fees
and charges and shall comply with all such statutes and regulations as may be required by law in
order to establish, preserve and protect the ability of the Holders and their successors and assigns
to enforce this Restriction.
23. Further Assurances. Each Holder is authorized to record or file any notices or
instruments appropriate to assuring the enforceability of this Restriction; and the Grantor on
behalf of itself and its successors and assigns appoints each Holder its attorney-in-fact to execute,
acknowledge and deliver any such instruments on its behalf. Without Limiting the foregoing, the
Grantor and its successors and assigns agrees to execute any such instruments upon request.
The benefits of this Restriction shall be in gross and shall be assignable by any Holder. The
Grantor and the Holders intend that the restrictions arising hereunder take effect upon the date
hereof, and to the extent enforceability by any person ever depends upon the approval of
governmental officials, such approval when given shall relate back to the date hereof regardless
of the date of actual approval or the date of filing or recording of any instrument evidencing such
approval.
24. Counterparts. This Restriction may be executed in several counterparts, each of which
when executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one
instrument. In making proof of this Restriction, it shall not be necessary to produce or account
Page 16 of 28,Book:42168 Page:466
oim
MaSSOocs,,.fr
AFFORDABLE HOUSING RESTRICTION
for more than one such counterpart executed by the party against whom enforcement of this
Restriction is sought.
25. Incorporation of Exhibits and Riders. Any and all exhibits and riders attached hereto or
otherwise referenced herein are hereby incorporated by reference, the same as if each were fully
set forth herein.
26. Amendment; Waiver; Consents. This Restriction may not be amended, nor may any
obligation hereunder be waived or released, without first obtaining the written signature of The
Commonwealth of Massachusetts, acting by and through the Executive Office of Housing and
Livable Communities under the Affordable Housing Trust Fund Statute, M.G.L. c. 121D, by the
Massachusetts Housing Finance Agency, as administrator as agent for all Holders. Any consent or
approval by the Holders of this Restriction shall be communicated by The Commonwealth of
Massachusetts, acting by and through the Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities
under the Affordable Housing Trust Fund Statute, M.G.L. c. 121D, by the Massachusetts Housing
Finance Agency, as administrator as agent for all Holders.
27. Ground Lessor Assent. The Grantor is the tenant under a Ground Lease of the Property
from Salem Housing Authority (the "Ground Lessor") as landlord and fee owner, dated on or about
the date hereof, notice of which is recorded herewith. The Ground Lessor hereby joins in the grant
of this Restriction and agrees, for itself and its successors and assigns, to be bound by all of the
terms and conditions hereof for the term of this Restriction, whether or not said Ground Lease is
terminated for any reason, to the same extent as if the Ground Lessor were the named Grantor
hereunder.
