2.12 Defaults by Owner.
(a) Rights of HUD If Owner Defaults under Agreement.
(1) Events of Default. A default by the Owner under
this Agreement shall result if:
(i) The Owner has violated or failed to comply with any
provision of, or obligation under, this Agreement; or
(ii) The Owner has asserted or demonstrated an intention
not to perform some or all of its obligations under this
Agreement; or
(iii) If the Owner has violated or failed to comply with
applicable HUD regulations for the Section 202 or Section
811, or with the regulatory agreement; or the Owner has
filed any false statement or misrepresentation with HUD in
connection with the loan.
(2) HUD Determination of Default. Upon a determination by HUD that a default has occurred, HUD shall notify
the Owner of:
(i) The nature of the default,
(ii) The action required to be taken and the remedies to be
applied on account of the default (including actions by the
Owner to cure the default),
(iii) The time within which the Owner shall respond with a
showing that all the required actions have been taken.
If the Owner fails to respond or take action to HUD's
satisfaction, HUD shall have the right to take corrective
action to achieve compliance, in accordance with paragraph
(3) of this section, or to terminate this Agreement, in whole
or in part, or to take other corrective action to achieve
compliance, in its discretion.
(3) Corrective Actions. Pursuant to paragraph (2) of
this section, HUD in its discretion may take the following
corrective actions:
(i) Take possession of the project, bring any action necessary to enforce any rights of the Owner, complete the project
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, execute the
Contract on behalf of the Owner, and operate the project in
accordance with the terms of the Contract until such time as
HUD determines that the Owner is again in a position to
complete or operate the project, as appropriate, in accordance with the Agreement or Contract.
(ii) Apply to any court, State or Federal, for specific
performance of this Agreement, for an injunction against
any violation of the Agreement, for the appointment of a
receiver to take over and complete the project in accordance
with this Agreement and to execute the Contract and operate
the project in accordance with the Contract, or for such other
relief as may be appropriate. These remedies are appropriate
since the injury to HUD arising from a default under any of
the terms of this Agreement could be irreparable and the
amount of damage would be difficult to ascertain.
(b) Remedies not Exclusive and Non-Waiver of Remedies. The availability of any remedy under this Agreement
shall not preclude the exercise of any other remedy under
this Agreement or under any provision of law, nor shall any
action taken in the exercise of any remedy be considered a

waiver of any other rights or remedies. Failure to exercise
any right or remedy shall not constitute a waiver of the right
to exercise that or any other right or remedy at any time.
Disputes.
Any dispute concerning a question of fact arising under this
Agreement which cannot be resolved by agreement between
the HUD Field Office and the Owner may be submitted by the
Owner to the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development or
a designee. Both parties shall proceed diligently with the
performance of this Agreement and in accordance with the
decision of the Field Office, pending resolution of the appeal.
Conflict of Interest.

project, procurement of the site or other matters related to
the development or operation of the project.
Interest of Member of or Delegate to Congress.
No member of or delegate to the Congress of the United
States of America or resident commissioner shall be admitted to any share or part of this Agreement or to any benefits
which may arise from it.
Assignment, Sale or Foreclosure.

them or any of its interest in them, without the prior written
consent of HUD.
The Owner agrees that it will not change to a different
contractor, except with HUD's prior written consent.
The Owner agrees that the approved contractor has not made
and will not make, except with HUD's prior written consent,
any assignment or transfer in any form of the contractor's
contract to construct or rehabilitate the project, or of any
part of it, or any of the contractor's interests in it.
The Owner agrees to notify HUD promptly of any proposed
action covered by paragraph (a), (b), or (c) of this section,
and further agrees to request the prior written consent of
HUD. For purposes of this section, a sale, assignment,
conveyance, or transfer includes but is not limited to a
transfer by the Owner, in whole or in part.
The provisions of this section also shall apply to transfers of
interest by the contractor and by persons having interests in
the contractor.
Except where otherwise approved by HUD, this Agreement
and the Contract shall continue in effect in the event:
(1) Of assignment, sale, or other disposition of the project
or this Agreement or the Contract,
