AGREEMENT CONTAINING COVENANTS
BY AND BETWEEN HOUSING AUTHORITY OF THE CITY OF PALMDALE AND
VICTORY OUTREACH-PALMDALE
THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINING COVENANTS (this “ ACC”), dated as of ______________________, 2025, is entered into by and between the HOUSING AUTHORITY OF THE CITY OF PALMDALE , a public body corporate and politic (“ Authority”), and VICTORY OUTREACH-PALMDALE, a California nonprofit corporation (“Developer”).
WHEREAS, Developer is the owner of a leasehold interest in that certain real property (the “Property”) located in Palmdale, California more particularly described in Exhibit A which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference, pursuant to the Ground Lease; and
WHEREAS, for the purpose of providing four units of housing that shall be affordable to Very Low Income households who are at risk of homelessness or currently unhoused exclusively, the Parties have entered into an Affordable Housing Agreement dated as of June 3, 2025 (the “Agreement”), which is incorporated herein by this reference, and any capitalized term that is not otherwise defined in this ACC shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the Agreement contains certain provisions relating to the use of the Property.
NOW, THEREFORE, FOR GOOD AND VALUABLE CONSIDERATION, THE
RECEIPT AND SUFFICIENCY OF WHICH ARE HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGED, THE PARTIES COVENANT AND AGREE AS FOLLOWS:
1. Developer hereby covenants and agrees on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns in the Property or any portion thereof or any Improvements thereon or any interest therein that Developer and such successors and assigns shall rehabilitate the Improv ements on the Affordable Housing Agreement Agreement No. A-9241
Victory Outreach Attachment No. 3 – Form of Agreement Containing Covenants APN: 3008-013-902 Page 2
Property, consisting of a residential apartment building containing four rental units and associated amenities, in accordance with the Authority Loan Documents and plans approved by City.
Developer hereby covenants and agrees on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns in the Property or any portion thereof or any Improvements thereon or any interest therein that Developer and such successors and assigns shall comply with all provisions of the LURA, whether affirmative or negative in nature, and that Developer, its successors and assigns shall carry out the rehabilitation, construction, development, and operation of the Improvements on the Property in compliance with the LURA.
2. Maximum Incomes.
a. Developer covenants and agrees for itself, its successors, its assigns and every successor in interest to the Property or any part thereof, that Developer, its successors and assignees shall use the Property exclusively as housing to provide four units of affordable housing for Very Low Income households who are at risk of homelessness or currently unhoused, subject to all of the terms and conditions of this ACC. The four two- bedroom units shall be rented as housing exclusively to Very Low Income households who are at risk of homelessness or currently unhoused at an Affordable Rent as provided in California Health and Safety Code Section 50053 for very low income households (an “Affordable Rent”).
b. For purposes of this ACC, the maximum incomes of eligible tenants shall be determined on the basis of the income limits for Very Low Income households, adjusted for household size, in the Los Angeles-Long Beach SMSA, published approximately annually by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (“HCD”). If HCD discontinues publishing such income limits, then the term “Very Low Income” shall mean a household income that does not exceed 50% of the area median income (the “ Area Median Income”), adjusted for household size.
c. Household income shall be determined using the income sources set forth in Section 6914 of Title 25 of the California Code of Regulations. Immediately prior to a prospective tenant’s occupancy of an affordable unit, Developer shall obtain and maintain on file an income computation and certification form from such prospective tenant dated immediately prior to the date of initial occupancy. Developer shall verify that the income information provided by an applicant is accurate by following all applicable Aut hority policies and procedures and by taking one or more of the following steps as a part of the verification process: (i) obtaining two pay stubs from the most recent pay periods, (ii) obtaining a written verification of income and employment from applicant’s current employer, (iii) obtaining an income verification form from the Social Security Administration and/or the California Department of Social Services if the applicant receives assistance from either agency, (iv) if an applicant is unemployed or did not file a tax return for the previous calendar year, then obtaining other verification of such applicant’s income as is reasonably satisfactory or (v) obtaining such other information as may be reasonably required. Developer shall update the foregoing records annually and provide copies of updated tenant eligibility records and monthly rental records to Authority for review. Upon review of such Affordable Housing Agreement Agreement No. A-9241
Victory Outreach Attachment No. 3 – Form of Agreement Containing Covenants APN: 3008-013-902 Page 3
records, Authority may at its option perform an independent audit of the tenant eligibility records in order to verify compliance with the income and affordability requirements set forth herein.
Developer shall retain the records described in this Section for a period of five years after the date each record was created.
3. Maximum Rents.
a. Rents charged to a tenant shall not exceed rents that are affordable to Very Low Income households. The maximum rent, including a reasonable utility allowance for utilities and services (excluding telephone) to be paid by Very Low Income households is set forth below:
(i) In the case of a Very Low Income household, the maximum rent shall be a rent that does not exceed 30% of 50% of the Area Median Income, adjusted for household size appropriate to the unit.
(ii) For purposes of determining Affordable Rent, household size appropriate to the unit shall mean two persons in the case of a one -bedroom unit and three persons in the case of a two-bedroom unit.
b. This affordability requirement shall continue in effect for the full Term of this ACC.
c. Failure to comply with the affordability requirements of this ACC is an event of default under the terms of the Authority Loan. Pursuant to the Authority Note evidencing the Authority Loan, subject to the right to cure, the Authority Loan shall be due and payable immediately if the housing does not meet the affordability requirements of this ACC. d. Upon request, the Authority Executive Director shall notify Developer of the maximum rents that may be charged, based on the then- current Area Median Income (not to exceed an Affordable Rent), and the maximum income of households who are eligible to occupy the Property. Developer shall submit to Authority for review and approval its initial rent schedule and utility allowances, 30 days prior to initial rental of the units, and on an annual basis thereafter.
Rental rates may be adjusted, and income determinations performed, annually, at the time of lease renewal. Developer shall provide tenants not less than 30 days’ prior written notice before implementing any increase in rents.
4. Developer, its successors and assigns shall not charge rents in excess of an Affordable Rent. If Developer has charged a tenant rent in excess of an Affordable Rent, then Developer shall immediately reimburse the tenant the amount of overpayment, with interest, from the date of rental payment, at the highest non-usurious rate of interest permitted by law, within 10 days of such determination. Developer may increase rents not more than once annually, subject to any applicable rent control ordinance then in effect, but in no event shall rent be greater than the rent permitted by the adjusted rent limits.
Affordable Housing Agreement Agreement No. A-9241
Victory Outreach Attachment No. 3 – Form of Agreement Containing Covenants APN: 3008-013-902 Page 4
5. Developer shall adopt written tenant selection policies and criteria that meet the following requirements and are approved by Authority:
a. Are consistent with the purpose of providing affordable housing for Very Low Income households.
b. Are reasonably related to program eligibility and the applicants’ ability to perform the obligations of the lease.
c. Provide for:
(i) The selection of otherwise eligible tenants from a written waiting list in the chronological order of their application, insofar as is practicable; and
(ii) The prompt written notification to any rejected applicant of the grounds for any rejection;
d. Provide first priority in the selection of qualifying occupants to persons displaced by projects assisted by Authority; and
e. Provide information to and otherwise attract eligible qualifying occupants from all racial, ethnic and gender groups in the housing market area. The Parties shall cooperate to effectuate this provision during Developer’s initial lease -up of the Property and as vacancies occur.
6. Developer, its successors and assigns shall not refuse to accept for occupancy otherwise eligible qualifying occupants that are holders of a certificate or voucher under 24 CFR part 982-Section 8 Tenant-Based Assistance: Unified Rule for Tenant-Based Assistance under the Section 8 Rental Certificate Program and the Section 8 Rental Voucher Program or to the holder of a comparable document evidencing participation in a HOME tenant -based rental assistance program because of the status of the prospective t enant as a holder of such certificate of family participation, rental voucher or comparable HOME tenant-based assistance document.
7. Provisions regarding Leases.
a. Leases shall have terms of not less than one year, unless upon mutual agreement between tenant and Developer the lease agreement may be based on a month-to-month rental. The lease may not contain any of the following provisions (in which references to “owner” shall mean Developer, its successors or assigns):

(ii) Agreement by the tenant that the owner 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 thereto.

8. Developer, its successors or assigns may not terminate a lease or refuse to renew the lease of a tenant, except: for serious or repeated violation of the terms and conditions of the lease, for violation of applicable federal, state or local law or for other good cause.

9. Developer shall maintain the Improvements on the Property in compliance with all applicable housing quality standards and local code requirements and shall keep the Property free from any unreasonable accumulation of debris or waste materials.

Victory Outreach Attachment No. 3 – Form of Agreement Containing Covenants APN: 3008-013-902 Page 6
fails to maintain the Property and the Improvements in accordance with the approved Maintenance Program, then Authority shall have the right, but not the obligation, to enter the Property and the improvements, correct any violation, and hold Developer responsible for the cost thereof, and such cost, until paid, shall constitute a lien on the Property.
10. Developer covenants and agrees for itself, its successors, its assigns and every successor in interest to the Property or any part thereof, there shall be no discrimination against or segregation of any person, or group of persons, on account of race, color, national origin, religion or sex in the sale, lease, sublease, transfer, use, occupancy, tenure or enjoyment of the Property nor shall Developer itself or any person claiming under or through it establish or permit any such practice or practices of discrimination or segregation with reference to the selection, location, number, use or occupancy of tenants, lessees, subtenants, sublessees or vendees of the Property.

HOUSING AUTHORITY OF THE CITY OF PALMDALE
(A-9241)
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, VICTORY OUTREACH- PALMDALE, a California nonprofit corporation (“Developer”), assigns to the HOUSING AUTHORITY OF THE CITY OF PALMDALE, a public body, corporate and politic (“Authority”), all of its right, title and interest in and to:
1. All architectural, design, engineering and development agreements, and any and all amendments, modifications, supplements, addenda and general conditions thereto (collectively, the “Architectural Agreements”); and
2. All plans and specifications, shop drawings, working drawings, amendments, modifications, changes, supplements, general conditions and addenda thereto (collectively the “Plans and Specifications”)
heretofore or hereafter entered into or prepared by any architect, engineer or other person or entity (collectively “Architect”), for or on behalf of Developer in connection with the rehabilitation of the Improvements on the Property described in Exhibit A attached. This Assignment of Agreements (this “Assignment”) is subject to the prior rights of any lender whose lien is senior to the Authority Deed of Trust. The Plans and Specifications, as of the date hereof, are those which Developer has heretofore, or will hereafter deliver to Authority.
This Assignment constitutes a present and absolute assignment to Authority as of the date that it is executed by Developer (the “Effective Date”), subject to the terms and provisions of the Affordable Housing Agreement by and between Developer and Authority, dated as of June 3, 2025 (the “Agreement”) wherein such assignment only becomes enforceable upon a breach and failure to cure by Developer as set forth therein; provided, however, that Authority confers upon Developer the right to enforce the terms of the Architectural Agreements and Developer’s rights to the Plans and Specifications so long as no default or event which would constitute a default after notice or the passage of time, or both, has occurred and is continuing under the Agreement. Upon the occurrence of a default or event which would constitute a default after notice or the passage of time, or both, under the Agreement, Authority may, in its sole discretion, give notice to Architect of its intent to enforce the rights of Developer under the Architectural Agreements and of its rights to the Plans and Specifications and may initiate or participate in any legal proceedings respecting the enforcement of said rights. Developer shall , within 10 days after receipt of notice from Authority that Authority intends to enforce its rights under this Assignment, transmit all Plans and Specifications to Authority, subject to any required third-party consent, which Developer must use its best efforts to obtain . Developer acknowledges that by accepting this Assignment, Authority does not assume any of Developer’s obligations under the Architectural Agreements or with respect to the Plans and Specifications.

Victory Outreach Attachment No. 4 – Form of Assignment of Agreements APN: 3008-013-902 Page 2
Developer represents and warrants to Authority, as of the Effective Date, that: (i) all Architectural Agreements entered into by Developer are in full force and effect and are enforceable in accordance with their terms , and no default, or event which would constitute a default after notice or the passage of time, or both, exists with respect to said Architectural Agreements, (ii) all copies of the Architectural Agreements and Plans and Specifications delivered to Authority are complete and correct and (iii) Developer has not assigned any of its rights under the Architectural Agreements or with respect to the Plans and Specifications.
Developer agrees: (i) to pay and perform all obligations of Developer under the Architectural Agreements, (ii) to enforce the payment and performance of all obligations of any other person or entity under the Architectural Agreements, (iii ) not to modify the existing Architectural Agreements nor to enter into any future Architectural Agreements without Authority’s prior written approval except as otherwise may be permitted in the Agreement and (iv) not to assign further (other than assignment in connection with a loan which is senior in priority to Authority’s assignment), for security or any other purposes, its rights under the Architectural Agreements or with respect to the Plans and Specifications without Authority’s prior written consent.
This Assignment secures performance by Developer of all obligations of Developer under the Agreement. This Assignment is supplemented by the provisions of the Agreement and said provisions are incorporated herein by this reference.
The term “Agreement ” as used herein also means any future amendments and implementation agreements between the Parties regarding the Agreement which refer to this Assignment. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Agreement.
This Assignment shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of California, except to the extent that Federal laws preempt the laws of the State of California, and Developer consents to the jurisdiction of any Federal or State Court within the State of California having proper venue for the filing and maintenance of any action arising hereunder and agrees that the prevailing party in any such action shall be entitled, in addition to any other recovery, to reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs.
This Assignment shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, legal representatives, assigns and successors-in-interest of the Parties; provided, however, that this shall not be construed and is not intended to waive any restrictions on assignment, sale, transfer, mortgage, pledge, hypothecation or encumbrance by Developer contained in the Agreement.
This Assignment may be executed in several counterparts, each of which is an original, and all of which together constitute but one and the same document.

Victory Outreach Attachment No. 5 – Form of Assignment of Rents and Leases APN: 3008-013-902 Page 2
NOW THEREFORE, with reference to the foregoing and in reliance thereon and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Assignor agrees as follows:
AGREEMENT
1. All initially capitalized terms used herein, unless otherwise defined or required by context, shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Agreement.
2. Subject to the prior rights of any lender whose lien is senior to the Authority Deed of Trust held by Assignee (a “Senior Lender”), Assignor hereby absolutely grants, sells, assigns, transfers and sets over to Assignee, by this Assignment, all of Assignor ’s interests, whether now existing or hereafter acquired, in all subleases and other occupancy agreements of any nature, now or hereafter covering all or any part of the Premises, together with all exte nsions, renewals, modifications or replacements of said subleases and occupancy agreements, and together with any and all guarantees of the obligations of the sublessees and occupants (individually, a “Sublessee”) thereunder, whether now existing or hereafter executed, and all extensions and renewals of said guarantees. Said subleases and occupancy agreements, together with any and all guarantees, modifications, extensions and renewals thereof , are hereinafter referred to individually as a “Sublease” and collectively as the “Subleases”.
3. Assignor’s purpose in making this Assignment is to relinquish to Assignee its right to collect and enjoy the rents, roy alties, issues, profits, income and other benefits at any time accruing by virtue of the Subleases (collectively, “Rents and Profits”).
4. The P arties intend that this Assignment shall be a present, absolute and unconditional assignment and shall, immediately upon execution, give Assignee the right to collect the Rents and Profits and to apply them in payment of the principal and interest and all other sums payable on the indebtedness and other obligations under any of the Authority Loan Documents, as well as all other sums payable under the Authority Deed of Trust or any other instrument given as security for the indebtedness . However, Assignee hereby grants to Assignor a license to collect and use, subject to the provisions set forth below, the Rents and Profits as they respectively become due and to enforce the Subleases, so long as there is no default by Assignor in performance of the terms, covenants or provisions of any of the Authority Loan Documents , after the expiration of any applicable notice and cure periods. Nothing contained herein, nor any collection of Rents and Profits by Assignee or by a receiver, shall be construed to ma ke Assignee a “mortgagee in possession” of the Premises so long as Assignee has not entered into actual possession of the Premises.
5. Upon the occurrence of any default , after the expiration of any applicable notice and cure periods, under the terms and conditions of any of the Authority Loan Documents , this Assignment shall constitute a direction and full authority to each Sublessee under any Sublease Affordable Housing Agreement Agreement No. A-9241
Victory Outreach Attachment No. 5 – Form of Assignment of Rents and Leases APN: 3008-013-902 Page 3
and each guarantor of any Sublease to pay all Rents and Profits to Assignee without proof of the default relied upon. Assignor hereby irrevocably authorizes each Sublessee and guarantor to rely upon and comply with any notice or demand by Assignee for the payment to Assignee of any Rents and Profits due or to become due.
6. Assignor represents and warrants as to each Sublease now or hereafter covering all or any portion of the Premises, unless Assignee has been otherwise advised in writing by Assignor:
a. That each Sublease is in full force and effect;
b. That no material default exists on the part of the Sublessee thereunder or Assignor;
c. That no rent in excess of one month’s rent has been collected in advance;
d. That no Sublease or any interest therein, except to the extent required by a Senior Lender, if any, has been previously assigned or pledged; and
e. That all rent due to date under each Sublease has been collected and no concession has been granted to any Sublessee in the form of a waiver, release, reduction, discount or other alteration of rent due or to become due except as previously disclosed to Assignor in writing.
7. Assignor agrees with respect to each Sublease:
a. If any Sublease provides for a security deposit paid by the Sublessee to Assignor and subject to the prior rights, if any, of a Senior Lender, then this Assignment transfers to Assignee all of Assignor’s right, title and interest in and to each such security deposit; provided, however, that Assignor shall have the right to retain said security deposit so long as Assignor is not in default, after the expiration of any applicable notice and cure periods, under any of the Authority Loan Documents ; and provi ded further that Assignee shall have no obligation to the Sublessee with respect to such security deposit unless and until Assignee comes into actual possession and control of said security deposit.
b. If any Sublease provides for the abatement of rent during repair of the leased Premises by reason of fire or other casualty, then Assignor shall furnish rental insurance to Assignee, the policies to be with companies and in form, content, policy limits and terms as are customary in the case of entities owning similar property or assets similarly situated.
c. Each Sublease shall remain in full force and effect despite any merger of the interest of Assignor and any Sublessee thereunder . Except as may be otherwise provided in the Agreement, Assignor shall not terminate any Sublease (except pursuant to the terms of the Affordable Housing Agreement Agreement No. A-9241
Victory Outreach Attachment No. 5 – Form of Assignment of Rents and Leases APN: 3008-013-902 Page 4
Sublease upon a default by any Sublessee thereunder), or materially modify or amend any Sublease or any of the terms thereof, or grant any concessions in connection therewith or accept a surrender thereof, without the prior written consent of Assignee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
d. Assignor shall not collect any Rents and Profits more than 30 days in advance of the date on which they become due under the terms of any Sublease.
e. Assignor shall not discount any future accruing Rents and Profits.
f. Assignor shall not consent to any assignment of any Sublease, or any subletting thereunder, whether or not in accordance with its terms, on any terms less favorable than those that would reflect an arm ’s length transaction in light of prevailing market conditions (subject to the rent restrictions applicable to the Premises), without the prior written consent of Assignee, except as may be otherwise provided in the Agreement.
g. Except as may be otherwise provided in the Agreement, Assignor shall not execute any further assignment of any of the Rents and Profits or any interest therein or suffer or permit any such assignment to occur by operation of law.
h. Assignor shall faithfully perform and discharge all obligations of the sublessor under each Sublease, and shall give prompt written notice to Assignee of any notice of Assignor’s default received from any Sublessee or any other person and furnish Assignee with a complete copy of said notice . Assignor shall appear in and defend, at no cost to Assignee, any action or proceeding arising under or in any manner connected with any Sublease. If requested by Assignee, Assignor shall enforce each Sublease and all remedies available to Assignor against the Sublessee in the case of default under the Sublease by the Sublessee.
i. Except as otherwise provided in the Agreement , and except for residential subleases entered into in the ordinary course of business, Assignor shall give Assignee written notice immediately upon entering into a Sublease of any part of the Premises and shall promptly upon request of Assignee provide to Assignee a true and correct copy of each executed Sublease .
Upon written notice from Assignee to Assignor, such Sublease shall be deemed included in this Assignment as though originally listed herein. At Assignee’s option, such notice may be recorded, without cost to Assignor, in the Official Records of Los Angeles County, California, which notice shall refer to this Assignment.
j. Except as otherwise provided in the Agreement , at Assignee ’s option, Assignor shall not hire, retain or contract with any third party for property management services with respect to the Premises, without the prior written approval of Assignee of such party and the terms of its contract for management services.
Affordable Housing Agreement Agreement No. A-9241

k. Nothing herein shall be construed to impose any liability or obligation on Assignee under or with respect to any Sublease .

35. This Deed of Trust shall be subordinate and junior to the deed of trust securing a Senior Loan, if any.

All policies or certificates of insurance shall provide that such policies shall not be canceled or limited in any manner without at least 20 days’ prior written notice to City.
h. If Developer fails or refuses to procure or maintain insurance as required by this Agreement, the City shall have the right, at City ’s election, and upon 10 days’ prior notice to Developer, to procure and maintain such insurance.

Developer and all third parties shall rely upon thei r own judgment regarding such matters, and any review, inspection, supervision, exercise of judgment or information supplied to Developer or to any third party by City in connection with such matter is for the public purpose of providing affordable housing, and neither Developer nor any third party is entitled to rely thereon.

In addition, Developer shall remove, or shall have removed, any levy or attachment made on the Property (or any portion thereof or interest therein), or shall assure the satisfaction thereof within a reasonable time but in any event prior to a sale thereunder.
Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to prohibit Developer from contesting the validi ty or amount of any tax assessment, encumbrance or lien, or to limit the remedies available to Developer in respect thereto.
Section 313 Rights to Plans
a. All work product prepared pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, all Plans, construction documents, soils tests and similar reports, permits and other entitlements are hereby assigned to City as security for Developer’s obligations hereunder.

Section 314 Release of Construction Covenants
a. Promptly after Completion of the Improvements constituting the Project in its entirety, as generally and specifically required by the AHA and this Agreement, City shall furnish Developer with a Release of Construction Covenants upon written request therefor by Developer.
City shall not unreasonably withhold such Release of Construction Covenants, and such Release of Construction Covenants shall be issued so long as Developer has rehabilitated the Project in accordance with the AHA, this Agreement and the P lans approved by Authority and City. Such Release of Construction Covenants shall be, and shall so state, conclusive determination of satisfactory completion of all of the construction required by this Agreement.
b. The Release of Construction Covenants shall be in such form as to permit it to be recorded in the official records of Los Angeles County. A Release of Construction Covenants for rehabilitation of less than the Improvements constituting the Project in its entirety shall not be recorded.
c. If City refuses or fails to furnish a Release of Construction Covenants after written request from Developer, then City shall, within 30 days of the written request, provide Developer with a written statement of the reasons City refused or failed to furnish a Release of Construction Covenants. The statement shall also contain City ’s opinion of the action Developer shall take to obtain a Release of Construction Covenants. If the reason for such refusal is confined to the immediate availability of specific items or materials for landscaping, and/or minor items, then City shall issue its Release of Construction Covenants upon the posting of a bond by Developer with City in an amount representing the fair value of the work not yet completed.
d. Such Release of Construction Covenants is not a notice of completion as referred to in Section 3093 of the California Civil Code.

ARTICLE IV DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES
Section 401 Defaults - General
a. Subject to the extensions of time set forth in Section 502, failure or delay by either Party to perform any term or provision of this Agreement constitutes a default under this Agreement. The Party who fails or delays must commence to cure, correct or remedy such failure or delay and shall complete such cure, correction or remedy with reasonable diligence. b. The injured P arty shall give written notice of default to the P arty in default, specifying the default complained of by the injured P arty. Failure or delay in giving such notice shall not constitute a waiver of any default, nor shall it change the time of default. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, any failures or delays by either Party in asserting any of its rights and remedies as to any default shall not operate as a waiver of any default or of any such rights or remedies. Delays by either Party in asserting any of its rights and remedies shall not deprive either P arty of its right to institute and maintain any actions or proceedings which it may deem necessary to protect, assert or enforce any such rights or remedies. c. If a monetary event of default occurs, prior to exercising any remedies hereunder, the injured Party shall give the party in default written notice of such default. The Party in default shall have a period of ten (10) calendar days after such notice is received or deemed received within which to cure the default prior to exercise of remedies by the injured Party. d. If a non -monetary event of default occurs, prior to exercising any remedies hereunder, the injured Party shall give the party in default notice of such default. If the default is reasonably capable of being cured within thirty (30) calendar days after such notice is received or deemed received, the P arty in default shall have such period to effect a cure prior to exercise of remedies by the injured Party. If the default is such that it is not reasonably capable of being cured within thirty (30) days, and the Party in default (1) initiates corrective action within said period, and (2) diligently, continually, and in good faith works to effect a cure as soon as possible, then the Party in default shall have such additional time as is reasonably necessary to cure the default prior to exercise of any remedies by the injured party, but in no event shall such period exceed sixty (60) days from the date such notice is received or deemed received. In no event shall the injured Party be precluded from exercising remedies if its security becomes or is about to become materially jeopardized by any failure to cure a default.

(a) Subject to the extensions of time set forth in Paragraph 32 above, and subject to the further provisions of this Paragraph 34, failure or delay by Trustor to perform any term or provision respectively required to be performed under the Secured Obligations or this Deed of Trust constitutes a default under this Deed of Trust.

(c) Any failures or delays by Beneficiary in asserting any of its rights and remedies as to any default shall not operate as a waiver of any default or of any such rights or remedies. Delays by Beneficiary in asserting any of its rights and remedies shall not deprive Beneficiary of its right to institute and maintain any actions or proceedings which it may deem necessary to protect, assert or enforce any such rights or remedies.

35. This Deed of Trust shall be subordinate and junior to the deed of trust securing a Senior Loan, if any. Following the reconveyance of the deed of trust securing a Senior Loan, this Deed of Trust shall be subordinate and junior to the deed of tr ust in favor of the maker of a permitted permanent or take-out loan, if any .
