Such permission is subject to the condition that each of the representations and warranties made by Borrower and Subordinate Lender in Section 3 are true and correct on the date of this Agreement and on the date on which the proceeds of the Subordinate Loan are disbursed to Borrower. If any of the representations and warranties made by Borrower and Subordinate Lender in Section 3 are not true and correct on both of those dates, the provisions of the Senior Loan Documents applicable to unpermitted liens on the Mortgaged Property shall apply.

3. BORROWER’S AND SUBORDINATE LENDER’S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Borrower and, with respect to subsections (a) through (d) below, Subordinate Lender, each make the following representations and warranties to Senior Lender:

1. Subordinate Loan Documents. The Subordinate Loan is evidenced by the Subordinate Note and is secured by the Subordinate Mortgage.

2. Term of the Subordinate Loan. The original principal amount of the Subordinate Note is $__________. Interest on the Subordinate Note accrues monthly at the rate of __________ percent (____%) per annum. The Subordinate Note is due and payable in full on __________, 20__, (the “Maturity”).

Notwithstanding any provision in the Borrower Regulatory Agreement to the contrary, Borrower shall calculate Surplus Cash prior to taking a Distribution and shall apply 75 percent of Surplus Cash to make any required payments due on the Subordinate Note. No prepayment of the Subordinate Note shall be made until after final endorsement by HUD of the Senior Note, unless such prepayment is made from Non-Project Sources and is approved in writing by HUD. The restriction on payment imposed by this Section shall not excuse any default caused by the failure of Borrower to pay the indebtedness evidenced by the Subordinate Note.

3. Relationship of Borrower to Subordinate Lender. Subordinate Lender is not an Affiliate of Borrower.

4. Term. The term of the Subordinate Note does not end before the term of the Senior Note.

5. Subordinate Loan Documents. The executed Subordinate Loan Documents are substantially in the same form as those submit­ted to, and approved by, HUD prior to the date of this Agreement. Upon execution and delivery of the Subordinate Loan Documents, Borrower shall deliver to Senior Lender an executed copy of each of the Subordinate Loan Documents, certified to be true, correct and complete.

6. Senior Loan Documents. The executed Senior Loan Documents are the same forms as approved by HUD prior to the date of this Agreement. Upon execution and delivery of the Senior Loan Documents, Borrower shall deliver to Subordinate Lender an executed copy of each of the Senior Loan Documents, certified to be true, correct and complete.

3. Subordinate Loan Documents. A complete set of the Subordinate Loan Documents.

5. TERMS OF SUBORDINATION.

1. Agreement to Subordinate. Senior Lender and Subordinate Lender agree that: (i) the Subordinate Indebtedness is and shall be subordinated in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in this Agreement, to the prior payment in full of the Senior Indebtedness, and (ii) the Subordinate Mortgage and the Subordinate Loan Documents are and shall be subject and subordinate in all respects to the liens, terms, covenants and conditions of the Senior Security Instrument and the Senior Loan Documents and to all advances heretofore made or which may hereafter be made pursuant to the Senior Security Instrument and the Senior Loan Documents (including but not limited to, all sums advanced for the purposes of (1) protecting or further securing the lien of the Senior Security Instrument, curing defaults by Borrower under the Senior Loan Documents or for any other purpose expressly permitted by the Senior Security Instrument, or (2) constructing, renovating, repairing, furnishing, fixturing or equipping the Mortgaged Property). Subordinate Lender agrees to extinguish and release its lien on any and all of the Mortgaged Property in the event Senior Lender, HUD, or a designee of either acquires the Mortgaged Property pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure.

2. Subordination of Subrogation Rights. Subordinate Lender agrees that if, by reason of its payment of real estate taxes or other monetary obligations of Borrower, or by reason of its exercise of any other right or remedy under the Subordinate Loan Documents, it acquires by right of subroga­tion or otherwise a lien on the Mortgaged Property which (but for this subsection) would be senior to the lien of the Senior Security Instrument, then, in that event, such lien shall be subject and subordinate to the lien of the Senior Security Instrument.

3. Payments Before Senior Security Instrument Default. Until Subordinate Lender receives a default notice of a Senior Security Instrument Default from Senior Lender, Subordinate Lender shall be entitled to retain for its own account all payments made under or pursuant to the Subordinate Loan Documents provided that such payments are otherwise permitted under the terms of this Agreement.

4. Payments After Senior Security Instrument Default. Borrower agrees that, after it receives notice (or otherwise acquires knowledge) of a Senior Security Instrument Default, it will not make any pay­ments under or pursuant to the Subordinate Loan Documents (including but not limited to principal, interest, additional interest, late payment charges, default interest, attorneys’ fees, or any other sums secured by the Subordinate Mortgage) without Senior Lender’s prior written consent. Subordinate Lender agrees that, after it receives a default notice from Senior Lender with written instructions directing Subordinate Lender not to accept payments from Project Sources on account of the Subordinate Loan, it will not accept any payments under or pursuant to the Subordinate Loan Documents (including but not limited to principal, interest, additional interest, late payment charges, default interest, attorneys’ fees, or any other sums secured by the Subordinate Mortgage) unless either (i) such payment is being made solely from Non-Project Sources or (ii) such payment is made with Senior Lender’s prior written consent. If Subordinate Lender receives written notice from Senior Lender that the Senior Security Instrument Default which gave rise to Subordinate Lender’s obligation not to accept payments has been cured, waived, or otherwise suspended by Senior Lender, the restrictions on payment to Subordinate Lender in this Section 5 shall terminate, and Senior Lender shall have no right to any subsequent payments made to Subordinate Lender by Borrower prior to Subordinate Lender’s receipt of a new default notice from Senior Lender in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5(d).

5. Remitting the Subordinate Loan Payments to Senior Lender. If, after Subordinate Lender receives a default notice from Senior Lender in accordance with subsection (d) above, Subordinate Lender receives any payments under the Subordinate Loan Documents (other than payments permitted under subsection (d) above), Subordinate Lender agrees that such payment or other distribution will be received and held in trust for Senior Lender and unless Senior Lender otherwise notifies Subordinate Lender in writing, will be promptly remitted, in kind to Senior Lender, properly endorsed to Senior Lender, to be applied to the principal of, interest on and other amounts due under the Senior Loan Documents in accordance with the provisions of the Senior Loan Documents. By executing this Agreement, Borrower specifically authorizes Subordinate Lender to endorse and remit any such payments to Senior Lender, and specifically waives any and all rights to have such payments returned to Borrower or credited against the Subordinate Loan. Borrower and Senior Lender acknowledge and agree that payments received by Subordinate Lender, and remitted to Senior Lender under this Section 5, shall not be applied or otherwise credited against the Subordinate Loan, nor shall the tender of such payment to Senior Lender waive any Subordinate Mortgage Default which may arise from the inability of Subordinate Lender to retain such payment or apply such payment to the Subordinate Loan.

6. Agreement Not to Commence Bankruptcy Proceeding. Subordinate Lender agrees that during the term of this Agreement it will not commence, or join with any other creditor in commencing any Bankruptcy Proceeding with respect to Borrower, without Senior Lender’s prior written consent.

6. DEFAULT UNDER THE SUBORDINATE LOAN DOCUMENTS.

1. Notice of Default and Cure Rights. Subordinate Lender shall deliver to Senior Lender a default notice within five (5) Business Days in each case where Subordinate Lender has given a default notice to Borrower. Failure of Subordinate Lender to send a default notice to Senior Lender shall not prevent the exercise of Subordinate Lender’s rights and remedies under the Subordinate Loan Documents, subject to the provisions of this Agreement. Senior Lender shall have the opportunity, but not the obligation, to cure any Subordinate Mortgage Default within sixty (60) days following the date of such notice; provided, however that Subordinate Lender shall be entitled, during such sixty (60) day period, to continue to pursue its rights and remedies under the Subordinate Loan Documents, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6(b) below.

2. Subordinate Lender’s Exercise of Remedies After Notice to Senior Lender. If a Subordinate Mortgage Default occurs and is continuing, Subordinate Lender agrees that it will not commence foreclosure proceedings with respect to the Mortgaged Property under the Subordinate Loan Documents or exercise any other rights or remedies it may have under the Subordinate Loan Documents with respect to the Mortgaged Property, including, but not limited to accelerating the Subordinate Loan, collecting rents, appointing (or seeking the appointment of) a receiver or exercising any other rights or remedies thereunder without Senior Lender’s prior written consent. However, the preceding sentence shall not (i) limit Subordinate Lender’s right to bring an action seeking recovery solely from Non-Project Sources or (ii) preclude Subordinate Lender from exercising or enforcing all the rights available to Subordinate Lender under the Subordinate Loan Documents and/or under applicable law to enforce covenants and agreements of Borrower relating to income, rent or affordability restrictions.

7. DEFAULT UNDER THE SENIOR LOAN DOCUMENTS.

1. Notice of Default and Cure Rights. Senior Lender shall deliver to Subordinate Lender a default notice within five (5) Business Days in each case where Senior Lender has given a default notice to Borrower (provided that Senior Lender shall have no liability to Borrower, Subordinate Lender or to any other Entity for failure to timely give such notice). Failure of Senior Lender to send a default notice to Subordinate Lender shall not prevent the exercise of Senior Lender’s right and remedies under the Senior Loan Documents, subject to the provisions of this Agreement. Borrower agrees that Subordinate Lender shall have the opportunity, but not the obligation, to cure either a Monetary Event of Default or a Covenant Event of Default within thirty (30) days following the date of such notice, or any time prior to an assignment of the Senior Security Instrument from Senior Lender to HUD, whichever date is later. Subordinate Lender acknowledges that Senior Lender shall be entitled during such period described above to continue to pursue its remedies under the Senior Loan Documents. Subordinate Lender shall have the opportunity to cure a Covenant Event of Default during such period described above so long as there is no Monetary Event of Default under the Senior Loan Documents. All amounts paid by Subordinate Lender to Senior Lender to cure any default under the Senior Loan Documents shall be deemed to have been advanced by Subordinate Lender pursuant to, and shall be secured by the lien of, the Subordinate Mortgage.

2. Cross Default. Subordinate Lender agrees that, notwithstanding any contrary provision con­tained in the Subordinate Loan Documents, a Senior Security Instrument Default shall not constitute a default under the Subordinate Loan Documents if no other default occurred under the Subordinate Loan Documents.

8. CONFLICT. Borrower, Senior Lender and Subordinate Lender each agrees that, in the event of any conflict or inconsis­tency between the terms of the Senior Loan Documents, the Subordinate Loan Documents and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall govern and control solely as to the following: (a) the relative priority of the security interests of Senior Lender and Subordinate Lender in the Mortgaged Property; and (b) solely as between Senior Lender and Subordinate Lender, the notice requirements, cure rights, and the other rights and obligations which Senior Lender and Subordinate Lender have agreed to as expressly provided in this Agreement. Borrower acknowledges that the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not, and shall not be deemed to: extend Borrower’s time to cure any Senior Security Instrument Default or Subordinate Mortgage Default, as the case may be; give Borrower the right to notice of any Senior Security Instrument Default or Subordinate Mortgage Default, as the case may be other than that, if any, provided, respectively under the Senior Loan Documents or the Subordinate Loan Documents, as applicable; or create any other right or benefit for Borrower as against Senior Lender or Subordinate Lender.

9. RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF SUBORDINATE LENDER UNDER THE SUBORDINATE LOAN DOCUMENTS AND OF SENIOR LENDER UNDER THE SENIOR LOAN DOCUMENTS. Subject to each of the other terms of this Agreement, all of the following provisions shall supersede any provisions of the Subordinate Loan Documents covering the same subject matter:

1. Protection of Security Interest. Subordinate Lender shall not, without the prior written consent of Senior Lender in each instance, take any action which has the effect of increasing the Subordinate Indebtedness outstanding under, or secured by, the Subordinate Loan Documents, except that Subordinate Lender shall have the right to advance funds to cure a Senior Security Instrument Default pursuant to Section 7(a) above and advance funds pursuant to the Subordinate Mortgage for the purpose of paying real estate taxes and insurance premiums, making necessary repairs to the Mortgaged Property and curing other defaults by Borrower under the Subordinate Loan Documents.

2. Condemnation or Casualty. In the event of a taking or threatened taking by condemnation or other exercise of eminent domain of all or a portion of the Mortgaged Property (collectively, a “Taking”); or the occurrence of a fire or other casualty resulting in damage to all or a portion of the Mortgaged Property (collec­tively, a “Casualty”), at any time or times when the Senior Security Instrument remains a lien on the Mortgaged Property the following provisions shall apply:

1. Subordinate Lender hereby agrees that its rights (under the Subordinate Loan Documents or otherwise) to participate in any proceeding or action relating to a Taking and/or a Casualty, or to participate or join in any settlement of, or to adjust, any claims resulting from a Taking or a Casualty shall be and remain subordinate in all respects to Senior Lender’s rights under the Senior Loan Documents with respect thereto, and Subordinate Lender shall be bound by any settlement or adjustment of a claim resulting from a Taking or a Casualty made by or with the written consent of Senior Lender; and

2. all proceeds received or to be received on account of a Taking or a Casualty, or both, shall be applied (to payment of the costs and expenses of repair and restoration and/or to payment of the Senior Security Instrument) in the manner determined by Senior Lender in its sole discretion; provided, however, that if Senior Lender elects to apply such proceeds to payment of the principal of, inter­est on and other amounts payable under the Senior Security Instrument, any proceeds remaining after the satisfaction in full of the principal of, interest on and other amounts payable under the Senior Security Instrument shall be paid to, and may be applied by, Subordinate Lender in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Subordinate Loan Documents. Any proceeds then remaining after the satisfaction in full of the principal of, interest on and other amounts payable under the Subordinate Loan Documents shall be paid by Subordinate Lender to Borrower.

3. No Modification of the Subordinate Loan Documents. Borrower and Subordinate Lender each agrees that, until the principal of, interest on and all other amounts payable under the Senior Loan Documents have been paid in full, it will not, without the prior written consent of Senior Lender in each instance, increase the amount of the Subordinate Loan, increase the required payments due under the Subordinate Loan, decrease the term of the Subordinate Loan, increase the interest rate on the Subordinate Loan, or otherwise amend the Subordinate Loan terms in a manner that creates an adverse effect upon Senior Lender under the Senior Loan Documents. Any unauthorized amendment of the Subordinate Loan Documents without Senior Lender’s consent shall be void ab initio and of no effect whatsoever.

4. Subordinate Loan Reduction Upon Sale or Transfer. Subordinate Lender shall not require more than seventy-five percent (75%) of the net proceeds of a sale or transfer to be applied to a reduction of the Subordinate Loan. With regard to this restriction, net proceeds shall include funds available to the Borrower selling or transferring the Project after correcting any monetary or covenant defaults required by the Senior Loan Documents. This includes, but is not limited to, required contributions to any reserve for replacement or other escrows and needed improvements to the Project as evidenced by HUD’s annual inspection reports.

10. MODIFICATION OF THE SENIOR LOAN DOCUMENTS; REFINANCING OF THE SENIOR INDEBTEDNESS. Subordinate Lender consents to any agreement or arrangement in which Senior Lender waives, postpones, extends, reduces or modifies any provisions of the Senior Loan Documents, including any provision requiring the payment of money. Subordinate Lender further agrees that its agreement to subordinate hereunder shall extend to any new mortgage debt which is for the purpose of refinancing all or any part of the Senior Security Indebtedness in accordance with Program Obligations (including reasonable and necessary costs associated with the closing and/or the refinancing); and that all the terms and covenants of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of any holder of any such refinanced debt; and that all references to the Senior Indebtedness, the Senior Note, the Senior Security Instrument, the Senior Loan Documents and Senior Lender shall mean, respectively, the indebtedness related to the refinance loan, the refinance note, the security instrument securing the refinance note, all documents evidencing securing or otherwise pertaining to the refinance note and the holder of the refinance note.

11. DEFAULT BY SUBORDINATE LENDER OR SENIOR LENDER. If Subordinate Lender or Senior Lender defaults in performing or observing any of the terms, covenants or conditions to be performed or observed by it under this Agreement, the other, non-defaulting Lender shall have the right to all available legal and equitable relief.

12. NOTICES. Each notice, request, demand, consent, approval or other communication (hereinafter in this Section referred to collectively as “notices” and referred to singly as a “notice”) which Senior Lender or Subordinate Lender is required or permitted to give to the other party pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly and sufficiently given if: (a) personally delivered with proof of delivery thereof (any notice so delivered shall be deemed to have been received at the time so delivered); or (b) sent by Federal Express (or other similar national overnight courier) designating next Business Day delivery (any notice so delivered shall be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day following receipt by the courier); or (c) sent by United States registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, at a post office regularly maintained by the U.S. Postal Service (any notice so sent shall be deemed to have been received two (2) Business Days after mailing in the United States), addressed to the respective parties as follows:
