HUD AMENDMENT TO

AIA DOCUMENT B108 STANDARD FORM OF AGREEMENT

BETWEEN OWNER AND ARCHITECT FOR A FEDERALLY FUNDED OR FEDERALLY INSURED PROJECT for FHA PROJECT NO. _______________________

1. Definition of terms used in this Amendment. If not defined in this Amendment, capitalized terms shall have the meaning given them in the Agreement, the Regulatory Agreement between Borrower and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the Note, and/or the Security Instrument.

a. “Agreement” means the AIA Document B108, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Architect for a Federally Funded or Federally Insured Project, to which this Amendment is attached.

b. “Owner” means Borrower, as defined in the HUD Regulatory Agreement applicable to this transaction.

c. “Subcontractor” means any material supplier, equipment lessor, industrialized housing (or housing component) manufacturer/supplier, or any person or entity providing services that has either a direct or indirect (in the case of sub-subcontractors) contractual relationship with the Contractor responsible for construction of the Project.

2. The provisions of this Amendment supersede any provisions inconsistent between this Amendment and the Agreement.

3. Owner and Architect represent that they are familiar with HUD’s architectural requirements as set forth in Program Obligations and will comply with these instructions in accordance with said Program Obligations, including, but not limited to, review for compliance with HUD Minimum Property Standards; the accessible design, construction and alteration requirements of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (see 24 C.F.R. Part 8); the Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards; the accessible design and construction requirements of the Fair Housing Act (see 24 C.F.R. § 100.205); and the Americans with Disabilities Act Guidelines, 37 C.F.R. Part 1191.

4. This Agreement shall not be assigned in whole or in part to anyone, without the written consent of HUD. Neither Owner nor Architect shall contract with anyone currently listed by the General Services Administration as a firm that is debarred, suspended, proposed for debarment, or declared ineligible by federal agencies or by the General Accounting Office. Owner and Architect shall each require from their contractors, consultants and agents similar agreements prohibiting contracts with such persons or entities.

5. In the event the Owner, Lender, the surety under the performance bond, or HUD takes control of the Project or takes responsibility for completion of the Project construction pursuant to said parties’ legal rights under the agreements concerning the Project, and notwithstanding the provisions of Article 7 of this Agreement, the party taking control or taking responsibility for completion of construction, and any substitute contractor hired by said party, shall have the right to use the Drawings and Specifications, and other documents, including those in electronic form, prepared by Architect and Architect’s consultants. Such use shall be to the same extent and with the same limitations as Owner under this Agreement or as Contractor under the AIA Document A201, General Conditions of the Contract for Construction, provided Owner has paid Architect in accordance with this Agreement and is not in breach or default thereunder. Architect’s execution of this Amendment shall represent consent by Architect and Architect’s consultants to such use.

6. Owner shall provide information to or obtain approval from Lender and HUD regarding any action or observation by either Owner or Architect that significantly increases the Project's cost or time of construction or decreases the quality of construction.

7. The certificates for payment and the Certificate of Substantial Completion shall be in forms as prescribed by HUD.

8. This Agreement shall not be terminated without seven days prior written Notice to Lender and HUD.

9. Owner and Architect recognize the interest of Lender and HUD and that any action or determination by either Owner or Architect is subject to acceptance or rejection by Lender and HUD.

10. In addition to any other rights or remedies Owner may have under this Agreement, if a duly authorized representative of HUD requests that Architect be replaced due to Architect's inadequate performance, unjustified delay or misrepresentation of material facts, Owner may terminate this Agreement after giving Architect at least seven days' written notice and having given an opportunity to correct the performance or other issues to HUD’s satisfaction.

11. The Architect designing the Project may have an identity of interest with Owner, Contractor, and/or any Project subcontractor, except however, any Architect administering the Construction Contract shall not have any identity of interest with Owner, Contractor, and/or any Project. An identity of interest is construed to exist where:

a. Architect has any financial interest in the Project other than the stipulated compensation set forth in Article 11 and any compensation that may arise pursuant to Article 9 of the Agreement.

b. Architect advances any funds to Owner, Contractor and/or any subcontractor; and/or Contractor and/or any subcontractor advance any funds to Architect.

c. Architect has any financial interest in Owner, Contractor and/or any subcontractor; or Owner, Contractor and/or any subcontractor has any financial interest in Architect.

d. Any officer, director, stockholder, partner, manager or member of Architect has any financial interest in Owner, Contractor and/or any subcontractor; or any officer, director, stockholder, partner, manager or member of Owner, Contractor and/or any subcontractor has any financial interest in Architect.

e. Any officer, director, stockholder, partner, manager or member of Architect is also an officer, director, stockholder, partner, manager or member of Owner, Contractor, and/or any subcontractor.

f. Owner, Contractor and/or any subcontractor, or any officer, director, stockholder, partner, manager or member of Owner, Contractor and/or subcontractor provides any of the required architectural services or, while not directly providing an architectural service, acts as a consultant to Architect.

g. Any family relationships exist between the officers, directors, stockholders, partners, managers or members of Architect and officers, directors, stockholders, partners, managers or members of Owner, Contractor, and/or any subcontractor that could cause or result in control of or influence over prices paid to Architect or could result in control of or influence over performance by Architect.

h. Any side deal, agreement, contract or undertaking, that is inconsistent with related requirements for the relationship between Owner and Architect as stipulated in the closing documents, except as approved by HUD.

12. All identities of interest known to exist between the Architect designing the Project and Owner, Contractor and/or any subcontractor are listed herein. The Architect designing the Project and Owner shall each inform HUD in writing within 5 calendar days of its first knowledge of any identity of interest that develops after execution of this Agreement. Upon the discovery of an undisclosed identity of interest, or any identity of interest prohibited under paragraph 11, HUD may require the termination of this Agreement in accordance with paragraph 10, above.

13. The funds for this Project, including Architect's funds under this Agreement, will be provided, as the case may be, from the proceeds of a Loan from a Lender who in turn obtained a commitment for mortgage insurance from HUD, in accordance with the National Housing Act, as amended. Said Lender, pursuant to the terms of a Building Loan Agreement, , in accordance with HUD's rules and regulations, will agree to advance the proceeds of the Loan to Owner for completion of the work, but only to the extent that charges accrued and only to the extent and for the purposes specified in the Building Loan Agreement. However, neither the Security Instrument, nor the Building Loan Agreement, provide funds for Reimbursable Expenses pursuant to Section 11.5 of the Agreement, Termination Expenses pursuant to Section 9.7 of the Agreement, Additional Service Compensation pursuant to Section 11.2 of the Agreement, or Compensation for Use of Architect’s Instruments of Service pursuant to Section 11.6 of the Agreement. Although Architect may agree to provide a greater degree of services for additional compensation, require compensation for reimbursable expenses or termination expenses, or require basic compensation in excess of that provided by the Building Loan Agreement for such services, the obligation to compensate Architect for the greater degree of services or the aforesaid expenses shall not be enforceable against Owner, Lender, , HUD or the Project; provided, however, that any entity or individual other than Owner may agree to be responsible to Architect for payment thereof and, in such case, shall be identified below.

Provider of additional payment pursuant to paragraph 13 of this Amendment, if any.

______________________________________________________

14. In the event of any dispute that is not resolved through mediation in accordance with section 8.2 of the Agreement, the Owner and Architect (and any successors of either) each agree that the method of binding dispute resolution shall be litigation in a court of competent jurisdiction. The checkboxes under Section 8.2.4, reading “Arbitration pursuant to Section 8.3 of this Agreement” and “Other: (Specify)” are hereby deleted in their entirety; Section 8.3 is also deleted in its entirety. [THE “ARBITRATION” AND “OTHER” CHECKBOXES, IN ADDITION TO SECTION 8.3, MUST BE PHYSICALLY STRICKEN FROM THE AGREEMENT].

15. The Owner and Architect (and any successors of either) further agree that if for any reason HUD becomes a party to a dispute arising from this Agreement, HUD shall not be bound in any manner to binding arbitration; nor shall HUD be bound by any other means of binding dispute resolution, other than litigation in a court of competent jurisdiction.
