BACKGROUND
A. The Grantor holds or will acquire legal title to the Property and intends to rehabilitate and
acquire an 18-unit rental housing development, consisting of three residential buildings, at
the Property (the "Project").
B. As a condition of the Loan, and of the grant by CPA to North Shore Community
Development Coalition, Inc., 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 10 two-bedroom Units and 8 three-
bedroom Units. All 18 of the Restricted Units shall be deemed to be assisted under the CPA
Program. Eight 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 10 years after the completion of the Project (the "HOME Term") as more fully set forth in
Section 5.2 of the Loan Agreement between Grantor as Borrower and Community Economic
Development Assistance Corporation, as agent for The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, acting by
and through the Department of Housing and Community Development under the Housing Innovations
Trust Fund Statute, M.G.L. c. 121E, for itself and as agent for certain other lenders, and the
application thereafter of the restrictions herein with respect to the HOME Assisted Units shall continue
in full force and effect as an extended local use restriction. Such HOME Assisted Units may also
constitute 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
Section 8 of the United States Housing Act of 1937, as amended (the "Section 8 Contract"). As of
000
Massl)ocs�y
AFFORDABLE HOUSING RESTRICTION
the date hereof, the Property has or is expected to have the benefit of a contract for 10 project-
based vouchers under the Massachusetts Rental Voucher Program (the "MRVP Contract") If during
the HOME Term the Section 8 Contract or the MRVP Contract is not renewed at the end of its term
or is terminated or otherwise is no longer in full force and effect, the number of HOME Assisted
Units required to be Very Low Income Units (as set forth on Exhibit C) shall be reduced to 2 Units
of the types shown on Exhibit C-1 and the number of HOME Assisted Units required to be Low
Income Units (as set forth on Exhibit C) shall be increased to 6 Units of the types shown on
Exhibit C-1. In such event, references in this Restriction to Exhibit C shall thereafter be deemed
to refer to Exhibit C-1. Furthermore, if during the Term the Section 8 Contract or the MRVP Contract
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. The Property also shall include at least one (1)
Unit accessible to individuals with mobility impairments (consisting of 1 two-bedroom Unit) and at
least one (1) additional Unit accessible to individuals with sensory impairments (consisting of 1
two-bedroom Unit). 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). The Restricted Units shall be dispersed evenly throughout the buildings
comprising the Improvements. The Grantor shall at all times maintain a social service program
administered by a social service provider acceptable to the Holders. 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.

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.

the types shown on Exhibit C-1 attached hereto as"Low Income"shall be leased exclusively to

i
00
0�0
Massi)o0
AFFORDABLE HOUSING RESTRICTION
Homeless Unit to a Homeless Household who receives federal or state rental subsidy subject
to the paragraph below entitled "Federal or State Rental Subsidy". The Grantor shall ensure
that adequate and appropriate outreach is done to identify eligible Homeless Households for
the Homeless Units. The Grantor shall verify to the Holders that the Family meets the
definition of a Homeless Household within fourteen (14) days of the Homeless Household
taking occupancy of the Homeless Unit. If despite its diligent efforts in accordance with this
paragraph the Grantor is unable to locate a Homeless Household within thirty (30) days, then
with the prior written consent of the Holders, the vacant unit may be offered to an income
qualified Formerly Homeless Household. The Grantor shall adopt tenant screening and
selection criteria that recognize the unique circumstances of Homeless Households and
appropriately mitigates negative aspects associated with homelessness and/or the Homeless
Household's past housing history. In reviewing an application by a Homeless Household, the
Grantor or its designee must consider references from the Homeless Household's service
provider, current employer, or other such party with information pertinent to assessing the
Homeless Household's ability to maintain a successful tenancy.
E. HERA Rent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall be permitted to increase the
rents to those permitted under Section 3009(a)(E)(i) of the Housing and Economic Recovery
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.
F. 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.
G. 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.

AFFORDABLE HOUSING RESTRICTION
H. 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
who meet the definition of a Homeless Household 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 Very Low Income
Families who meet the definition of a Homeless Household. 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 Q.
I. Supportive Services. At all times during the Term, the Grantor shall maintain a supportive
service program (the"Support Program") administered by either(i) the Grantor or(ii) a third-
party service provider approved by DHCD (the"Service Provider"). If the Service Provider is a
third-party, the Grantor shall submit documentation to DHCD either (x) detailing a successful
record of previous collaboration between the Grantor and the proposed Service Provider or(y)
demonstrating successful collaborations between the proposed Service Provider and other
organizations operating supportive housing with similar service programs. If the Grantor
desires to change the Service Provider, the successor Service Provider shall be subject to prior
approval by DHCD. The Support Program shall include an initial assessment of each Family
occupying a Restricted Unit and, at a minimum, development of an individualized service plan
(each, an "Individualized Service Plan") for each Extremely Low Income Family based on the
initial or a subsequent assessment, with measurable goals and objectives. Each Individualized
Service Plan shall address the needs identified in the Individualized Service Plan, which may
include: (i) maintaining successful tenancy, (ii) securing quality childcare, education,
healthcare and recreational activities for any children in the household, (iii) securing or
improving adult education attainment and employment, (iv) improving and maintaining
behavioral and physical health, (v) improving financial and asset management skills, and (vi)
improving community connections. The Service Provider must document the Family's initial
assessment and Individualized Service Plan, as well as track and document the Family's
engagement and progress toward the goals and measures outlined in such Individualized
Service Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Resident may be required to accept the
services offered in their Individualized Service Plan as a condition of his or her tenancy.
4. Rent Schedule. Except as is set forth in Sections 3.A., 3.8., 3.C., 3.13. 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 DHCD 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 DHCD. 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
ooa
ova
rt
MasSOocs
AFFORDABLE HOUSING RESTRICTION
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 DHCD.
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 Very Low Income Family
or an Extremely Low Income Family, as defined below and required herein;
(ii) Are reasonably related to eligibility of prospective tenants under the Programs and
to the prospective tenants' ability to perform the obligations of the Grantor's form
lease; and
(III) Provide for (x) the selection of Residents from a written waiting list in the
chronological order of their application, insofar as practicable, and (y) the prompt
written notification to any rejected applicant of the grounds for any rejection.

The Grantor shall also provide the Holders with an affirmative marketing plan acceptable to all
Holders. The affirmative marketing plan must comply with all applicable statutes, regulations
and executive orders, with all Holders' affirmative marketing requirements and with DHCD's
directives reflecting the agreement between DHCD 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 DHCD'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
following provisions:
A. Agreement by the tenant to be sued, to admit guilt or to a judgment in favor 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.
D. Agreement of the tenant that the Grantor may institute a lawsuit without notice to the
tenant.
E. Agreement by the tenant that the Grantor may evict the tenant or household members
without instituting a civil court proceeding in which the tenant has the opportunity to
present a defense, or before a court decision on the rights of the parties.
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.

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

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, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed with
respect to any transfer to the Sponsor or any entity wholly owned and controlled by the Sponsor
pursuant to the Purchase Option and Right of First Refusal Agreement dated of even date herewith
granted to the Sponsor by the Grantor, provided that at the time of exercise of such Purchase
Option and Right of First Refusal Agreement (i) no Event of Default, or event or condition which
with the giving of notice or passage of time or both would constitute an Event of Default, is then
outstanding hereunder or under any of the Loans; (ii) the Sponsor or such other entity designated

limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Permitted Encumbrances are hereby approved by the
Holders. Any sale, transfer or other disposition (each, a "transfer") of all or any part of the
Property shall further be subject to the Purchase Option and the First Refusal Right described
below, and to such further terms and conditions with respect thereto as may be set forth in the
HIF Statute, the HIF Regulations, and the HIF Guidelines. Upon request by the Grantor, DHCD

of a specified date, any Purchase Option or First Refusal Right in favor of DHCD remains in effect,
or has been exercised, terminated, waived or assigned, and otherwise conforming with the
certification requirements described below. No transfer of all or any part of the Property to any
party other than DHCD or its assignee shall be consummated unless and until (i) the period for

(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. 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 DHCD pursuant to
DHCD's then-current fee schedule and shall pay all legal fees incurred by the Holders in
connection with such transfer request.
S. HIF Purchase Option.
A. After the fiftieth anniversary of the date hereof, DHCD shall have the right to purchase the
Grantor's interest in the Property from the Grantor, at a price equal to the then-current
appraised value of the Property, less the total outstanding balance, at the time of such
purchase, of all principal, interest and any other charges payable under the HIF Loan, and
any and all other outstanding obligations of the Grantor with respect thereto (the
"Purchase Option"), by delivering written notice to the Grantor of its election to exercise
the Purchase Option by or before the date that is one hundred twenty (120) days after the
expiration of the fiftieth anniversary of the date hereof (the "Option Exercise Deadline"). If
DHCD shall have failed to deliver such written notice of its election to exercise the
Purchase Option to the Grantor by the Option Exercise Deadline, DHCD shall be deemed to
have unconditionally waived the Purchase Option, and the Purchase Option shall
automatically terminate, and shall have no further force or effect.
B. DHCD shall have the right at any time to assign its rights under this Purchase Option to a
qualified developer selected by DHCD in accordance with the HIF Statute and HIF
Regulations, and effective as of any such assignment, all rights and obligations of DHCD
with respect to such Purchase Option shall automatically be deemed to apply to such
assignee, and all references to "DHCD" in this Section shall automatically be deemed to
refer to such assignee (except to the extent a provision explicitly provides otherwise). So
long as the Grantor is not in default under the HIF Loan, or hereunder, the Sponsor shall
have the right to match the best offer received by DHCD from a qualified developer to
become DHCD's assignee.
C. Promptly upon request by DHCD at any time or from time to time, either before the Option
Exercise Deadline or after DHCD's exercise of the Purchase Option, the Grantor shall
provide DHCD with a copy of, or otherwise make available for DHCD's review at a mutually
convenient time and location, any and all material owned by or readily available to the
Grantor that an unrelated third-party potential buyer would reasonably request in
connection with its due diligence for the acquisition of the Property, including, by way of
example but not of limitation, deeds, title insurance policies, appraisals, studies, reports,
and other materials relating to the Property and/or any encumbrance(s) subject to which
ooa
ova
Ma$$Doc$
AFFORDABLE HOUSING RESTRICTION
the Property is to be conveyed, or otherwise reasonably necessary or appropriate for
DHCD to review in connection with its exercise of the Purchase Option.
D. The appraised value of the Property shall be determined at DHCD's request by the method
specified in the HIF Statute (as may be more fully described in the HIF Regulations) and in
accordance with DHCD policies, and the costs of the appraisers shall be shared equally by
DHCD and the Grantor (unless the HIF Regulations provide otherwise). Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Restriction, the Grantor shall not be required to
use its own funds to repay any debt secured by the Property in the event the appraised
value of the Property is less than the aggregate of all permitted debt secured by the
Property.
E. The closing for the sale of the Property to DHCD shall take place in accordance with
applicable provisions of the HIF Regulations, by or before the date that is one hundred
twenty (120) days after the Option Exercise Deadline (i.e., on or before the date that is
two hundred forty (240) days after the fiftieth anniversary of the date hereof), by the close
of the business day, at the Registry of Deeds; provided, however, that if DHCD reasonably
determines additional time is necessary to effect the closing due to delays of the Grantor
in providing DHCD with the due diligence material described above or any other failure by
the Grantor fully to cooperate with preparations for the sale, the closing date may be
extended to a date reasonably determined by DHCD as necessary to redress the delays
caused by the Grantor, which shall be specified in a written notice from DHCD setting forth
the reasons for such extension, delivered to the Grantor by or before the date originally
scheduled for the closing. The parties may also mutually agree to extend the date of the
closing by written instrument.
F. The transfer to DHCD pursuant to the Purchase Option shall be subject to such other
requirements as may be more fully described in the HIF Regulations consistent with the
HIF Statute. Adjustments in the purchase price for recording fees, deed stamps and other
charges shall be made, and any other issues associated with the transfer shall be
resolved, in accordance with standard conveyancing practice in The Commonwealth of
Massachusetts. If either party so desires, the parties shall enter into a purchase and sale
agreement memorializing the terms of the sale, consistent with the terms hereof and of
the HIF Statute; provided, however, that the Purchase Option shall be binding regardless
of whether the parties execute a purchase and sale agreement. Notwithstanding any
other provision hereof to the contrary, if, after delivering notice of its intention to exercise
the Purchase Option, DHCD determines, in its sole discretion, that it is not in the best
interests of DHCD to effect the purchase, DHCD may terminate the Purchase Option at any
time, upon written notice to the Grantor recorded with the Registry of Deeds; provided,
however, that such termination right shall apply to DHCD only and not to any assignee.
G. Concurrently with its acquisition of the Property, DHCD shall cause to be recorded with the
Registry of Deeds an affordable housing restriction, in compliance with the HIF Statute and
any other applicable statutory requirements for the same (and, in the case of an assignee,
in form acceptable to DHCD, in its discretion), which shall require that the Property shall
000

MaSSi)OCS
AFFORDABLE HOUSING RESTRICTION
be used only for the purposes of preserving or providing affordable housing thereon, which
housing shall remain affordable for a period of not less than fifty (50) years.
9. HIF First Refusal Right.
A. If the Grantor intends at any time or from time to time prior to DHCD's exercise (or
unconditional waiver) of the Purchase Option, as described in Section 8 above, to transfer
all or any part of its interest in the Property, and the Grantor receives a bona fide offer for
such transfer that the Grantor desires to accept (each, an "Offer"), the Grantor shall
promptly deliver to DHCD written notice of the same (which shall not be deemed to have
been duly delivered to DHCD unless it contains a copy of clause C. below), together with a
copy of such Offer (the "Offer Notice"). The Grantor shall provide DHCD with such
reasonable evidence as DHCD may require to satisfy DHCD as to the bona fide nature of
the Offer. For purposes of this Section, a purchase by the Sponsor shall not be considered
an Offer that triggers DHCD's First Refusal Right. A transfer of a member interest in the
Grantor shall be considered an Offer that triggers the DHCD First Refusal Right if (x) such
member interest is all or substantially all of the non-managing member interests in the
Grantor(except for transfers to affiliates of the member) and (y) such transfer takes place
within one year of a transfer of a managing member interest in the Grantor or of a controlling
interest in a managing member of the Grantor to the transferee of the member interest or an
affiliate of such transferee, provided that a removal of a managing member by a member
pursuant to a removal provision in the operating agreement of the Grantor and the
substitution of a new managing member that is an affiliate of such member shall not
constitute a transfer of a managing member interest for purposes of this clause.
B. DHCD shall have the right to purchase the Grantor's interest in the Property (or the
portion(s) thereof to which the Offer relates), at the same price and on the same terms
set forth in such Offer (the "First Refusal Right"), by delivering to the Grantor and
recording with the Registry of Deeds written notice of its election to exercise such First
Refusal Right, in accordance with the terms set forth below (the "Exercise Notice"), by or
before the date that is one hundred twenty (120) days after DHCD's receipt of such Offer
Notice (such 120-day period, the "First Refusal Period"). If DHCD does not intend to
exercise the First Refusal Right, DHCD may, but shall have no obligation to, notify the
Grantor in writing that the First Refusal Right will not be exercised (a "Waiver Notice").
C. If, by the expiration of the First Refusal Period with respect to an Offer, DHCD shall have
failed to deliver to the Grantor an Exercise Notice or a Waiver Notice, DHCD shall be
deemed to have waived its First Refusal Right with respect to such Offer, subject to any
revived First Refusal Right with respect to a modified Offer, as described below. However,
DHCD shall retain a First Refusal Right for subsequent Offers and the Purchase Option as
described above, notwithstanding any prior actual or deemed waiver of the First Refusal
Right, or any intervening transfer of the Property or any portion(s) thereof. The First
Refusal Right shall automatically expire upon the waiver, expiration or exercise of the
Purchase Option.

AFFORDABLE HOUSING RESTRICTION
D. If any of the terms of an Offer shall be revised from the terms reflected in the Offer Notice
in such a manner as to be materially more favorable to the buyer or if a closing pursuant
to the Offer has not occurred on or before the date six months after the date of the Offer
Notice but the Grantor desires to continue pursuing a sale pursuant to such Offer, the
Grantor shall promptly deliver to DHCD an Offer Notice with respect to such revised or
continued Offer (which shall not be deemed to have been duly delivered to DHCD unless it
contains a copy of clause C. above), and DHCD shall have a new First Refusal Right with
respect to such modified or continued Offer. The First Refusal Period for such new First
Refusal Right shall run for a period of one hundred twenty (120) days from the date of
DHCD's receipt of the Offer Notice with respect to such revised or continued Offer.
E. DHCD shall have the right at any time to assign its rights under the First Refusal Right to a
qualified developer selected by DHCD in accordance with the HIF Statute and HIF
Regulations and, effective as of any such assignment, the rights and obligations of DHCD
with respect to such First Refusal Right shall automatically be deemed to apply to such
assignee, and all references to "DHCD" in this Section shall automatically be deemed to
refer to such assignee (except to the extent a provision explicitly provides otherwise).
DHCD shall provide written notice of any such assignment to the Grantor.
F. In accordance with the provisions of the HIF Statute:
(i) An Offer Notice containing the required language as described above shall be deemed
to have been duly delivered if sent by regular and certified mail, return receipt
requested (or by such other method as may be authorized under the HIF Statute and
HIF Regulations), addressed to DHCD (or to any assignee of DHCD, if DHCD has
previously given the Grantor notice of such assignment, including the name and notice
address of such assignee, in accordance with the notice provisions set forth herein) in
the care of the keeper of records for DHCD, which for purposes hereof shall be deemed
to be the General or Chief Counsel of DHCD (or in care of the keeper of records for
such assignee of DHCD, as applicable).
(ii) The Exercise Notice or Waiver Notice shall be duly signed by a designated
representative of DHCD or of the assignee of DHCD, as the case may be, and (x)
mailed to the Grantor by certified mail (or such other method as may be authorized
under the HIF Statute) at the notice address set forth in the Offer Notice and (y)
recorded with the Registry of Deeds by the expiration of the First Refusal Period. If
DHCD shall have assigned the First Refusal Right to a qualified developer prior to
delivery of the Exercise Notice, the Exercise Notice shall include the name and address
of such assignee and the terms and conditions of such assignment.
(iii)An affidavit acknowledged by a notary public that DHCD or its designated
representative has mailed an Exercise Notice or a Waiver Notice (the "Affidavit") shall
conclusively establish the manner and time of the giving of such notice. Any Affidavit
may be recorded with the Registry of Deeds by either party. Each Affidavit shall have
attached to it a copy of the Offer Notice to which it relates.
000

AFFORDABLE HOUSING RESTRICTION
(iv)Each Offer Notice, Exercise Notice and Waiver Notice shall contain the name of the
record owner of the Property and a description of the premises to be transferred, in
form adequate to identify the same. Each Affidavit shall have attached to it a copy of
the Offer Notice to which relates.
G. The closing for the sale of the Property (or, if applicable, the part thereof that is the
subject of the Offer) to DHCD shall take place in accordance with applicable provisions of
the HIF Regulations, by or before the date that is one hundred twenty (120) days after the
expiration of the First Refusal Period (i.e., on or before the date that is two hundred forty
(240) days after DHCD's receipt of the relevant Offer Notice), by the close of the business
day, at the Registry of Deeds (such date, the "Closing Deadline"); provided, however, that
if DHCD reasonably determines additional time is necessary to effect the closing, due to
delays of the Grantor in providing DHCD with the due diligence material described below
or any other failure by the Grantor fully to cooperate with preparations for the sale, the
Closing Deadline may be extended to a date reasonably determined by DHCD as necessary
to redress the delays caused by the Grantor, which shall be specified in a written notice
from DHCD setting forth the reasons for such extension, delivered to the Grantor and
recorded with the Registry of Deeds, by or before the date originally scheduled for the
closing. The parties may also mutually agree to extend the Closing Deadline, by written
instrument; provided, however, that in such event, the parties shall execute an instrument
reflecting such extension, which shall be recorded with the Registry of Deeds by or before
the date originally scheduled for the closing.
H. Concurrently with the delivery of the Offer Notice, the Grantor shall provide DHCD with a
copy of, or otherwise make available for DHCD's review at a mutually convenient time and
location, all material relating to the Property (or the part thereof that is the subject of the
Offer) and/or the proposed sale, transfer, or other disposition thereof that has been made
available to the party making the Offer, and shall thereafter promptly make available to
DHCD any additional material made available to such party. Promptly upon any request
therefor by DHCD, the Grantor shall provide DHCD with a copy of, or otherwise make
available for DHCD's review at a mutually convenient time and location, any and all other
material owned by or readily available to the Grantor that an unrelated third-party buyer
would reasonably request in connection with its due diligence for an acquisition of such
Property, including, by way of example but not of limitation, deeds, title insurance
policies, appraisals, studies, reports, or other materials relating to such Property and/or
any encumbrance(s) subject to which the Property is to be conveyed, or otherwise
reasonably necessary or appropriate for DHCD to review in connection with its exercise of
the First Refusal Right.
I. The transfer to DHCD pursuant to the First Refusal Right shall be subject to such other
requirements as may be more fully described in the HIF Regulations consistent with the HIF
Statute. Adjustments In the purchase price for recording fees, deed excise stamp taxes
and other charges shall be made, and any other issues associated with the transfer shall
be resolved, in accordance with standard conveyancing practice in The Commonwealth of
Massachusetts. If either party so desires, the parties shall enter into a purchase and sale

agreement memorializing the terms of the sale, consistent with the terms hereof and of
the HIF Statute; provided, however, that the First Refusal Right shall be binding
regardless of whether the parties execute a purchase and sale agreement.
Notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, if, after delivering notice of its
intention to exercise the First Refusal Right, DHCD determines, in its sole discretion, that
it is not in the best interests of DHCD to effect the purchase, DHCD may terminate the
First Refusal Right at any time, upon written notice delivered to the Grantor and recorded
with the Registry of Deeds; provided, however, that such termination right shall apply to
DHCD only, and not to any assignee. If DHCD exercises such termination right or if either
DHCD or its assignee (other than the Sponsor) fails to perform hereunder on or before the
Closing Deadline through no fault of the Grantor, then the First Refusal Right shall lapse
and be of no further force or effect.
J. Concurrently with its acquisition of the Property, DHCD shall cause to be recorded with the
Registry of Deeds an affordable housing restriction, in compliance with the HIF Statute and
any other applicable statutory requirements for the same (and, in the case of an assignee,
in form acceptable to DHCD, in its discretion), which shall require that such Property shall
be used only for the purposes of preserving or providing affordable housing thereon, which
housing shall remain affordable for a period of not less than fifty (50) years.
10. Term of Restrictions; Covenants to Run with Land. The term of this Restriction shall be
perpetual. The "Option Term" shall be the period from the fiftieth anniversary of the date hereof
through the Option Exercise Deadline (as defined in Section 8 above) plus any additional period
necessary for the consummation of a purchase of the Property under either the Purchase Option
or the First Refusal Right described above, if applicable. 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 shall run with the land, shall bind the successors and
assigns of the Grantor, and shall inure to the benefit of the Holders and their successors and
assigns as permitted herein. Notwithstanding the 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.
11. 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.

12. 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
at least annually on the basis of the current income of such Family. In initially verifying a
Family's income, the Grantor shall examine the source documents evidencing annual income (e.g.,
wage statements, interest statements, unemployment compensation statements) for the Family.
13. Reporting Requirements.
A. DHCD Web-Based Report. Annually, no later than September 30, Grantor shall submit to
DHCD, via the web-based annual reporting system located at
https://hedhsgdevannualreport.azurewebsites.net, or as otherwise instructed, an annual
report consisting of all data required by DHCD regulations at 760 CMR 61.00 promulgated
pursuant to Chapter 334 of the Acts of 2006 and all applicable DHCD directives, guidelines and
forms as may be amended from time to time. The Grantor shall collect said data for the
express purpose of reporting to DHCD, and the collection and reporting of said data shall
comply with said regulations, directives, guidelines and forms.
B. Annual Report. Annually, no later than September 30, Grantor shall submit to each
Holder an annual report consisting of the following:
(1) Annual adjusted income of each Family occupying a Restricted Unit.
(ii) Monthly gross rents (rents plus utility allowances, if applicable) for all Restricted Units,
such rents to be consistent with the schedule of maximum rents published annually by
DHCD. The rent schedule shall include the maximum rents applicable to Restricted
Units under Section 3 as well as the actual rents to be charged to over-income
Families under Section 3.
(iii)The Grantor's certification, made to the best knowledge and belief of the officer or
individual signing such certification, that:
(a) The Property continues to be used for the Permitted Uses.
(b) The Property continues to contain the required number of Low Income Units and
Extremely Low Income Units and to comply with the rent and other restrictions
applicable to such Restricted Units.
(c) Grantor has not transferred, pledged or encumbered any interest in the Property,
except as specifically provided in, and in accordance and compliance with the
terms of, this Restriction.
(d) Grantor has caused the Property to be maintained in a manner consistent with the
Statutes, Regulations and Guidelines and no children under six years old reside in
or occupy the Property within the meaning of the Lead Paint Law or, if such
children do reside in or occupy the Property, that the Property is in compliance
with the Lead Paint Law.
(e) The information submitted pursuant to this Paragraph B is true and accurate.

AFFORDABLE HOUSING RESTRICTION
C. Confidentiality. The Holders and the Grantor shall treat as confidential any of the foregoing
information relating to a specific Resident or Unit in compliance with all applicable state and
federal statutes and regulations, including M.G.L. c. 66A, and shall implement adequate
systems and procedures for maintaining the confidentiality of such information (but the
Holders and the Grantor may release general statistical and other information about the
Property, so long as the privacy rights and interests of the individual Residents are protected).
The Holders and the Grantor shall not use any of the foregoing information in Paragraph A.(iii)
for any purpose described in Section 603(d)(1) of the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (15
U.S.C. § 1681a(d)(1)) or in any manner that would cause a Holder or Grantor to be
considered a "consumer reporting agency" under Section 603(f) of the federal Fair Credit
Reporting Act(15 U.S.C. § 1681a(f)).
D. Additional Reports. Grantor shall prepare and submit to the Holders such additional
reports as any Holder may deem necessary to ensure compliance with the requirements of
this Restriction and of the Programs.
E. Records. The Grantor shall maintain as part of its records (1) copies of all leases of
Restricted Units; (ii) all initial and annual income certifications by Residents of Restricted
Units and (iii) such additional records as any Holder may deem necessary to ensure
compliance with the requirements of this Restriction and of the Programs.
F. Additional Reporting Requirements. Additional reporting requirements are stipulated in
the Loan Agreement.
14. No Demolition. The Grantor shall not demolish any part of the Improvements or
substantially subtract from any real or personal property included within the Property except in
conjunction with renovation or rehabilitation of the Units or construction of a new project on the
Property, in either case subject to the prior written consent of all Holders, which consent may be
granted or withheld in a Holder's sole judgment.
15. Casualty. The Grantor represents, warrants and agrees that if the Property, or any part
thereof, shall be damaged or destroyed, the Grantor (subject to the approval of the lender(s)
providing financing) will use its best efforts to repair and restore the Units to substantially the
same condition as existed prior to the event causing such damage or destruction, and the Grantor
represents, warrants and agrees that the Units shall thereafter continue to operate in accordance
with the terms of this Restriction.
16. Inspection. The Grantor hereby grants to each Holder and its duly authorized
representatives the right to enter the Property (a) at reasonable times and in a reasonable
manner for the purpose of inspecting the Property to determine compliance with this Restriction or
any other agreement between the Grantor and such Holder and (b) after thirty (30) days' prior
written notice, to take any reasonable and appropriate action under the circumstances to cure any
violation of the provisions of this Restriction. The notice referred to in clause (b) shall include a
clear description of the course and approximate cost of the proposed cure.
17. 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
oao_/��
MassOocs�.�'
AFFORDABLE HOUSING RESTRICTION
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.
18. 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
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.
19. 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,
oao
oho
Massft s
AFFORDABLE HOUSING RESTRICTION
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 (1) 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 (11) 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
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
ono
i
Ma$$Doc$
AFFORDABLE HOUSING RESTRICTION
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.
20. 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

22. 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.
23. 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, DHCD, 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.
24. 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.
2S. 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.
26. 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

otherwise referenced herein are hereby incorporated by reference, the same as if each were fully
set forth herein.
