Talega I (HOME loan)
Subordination Agreement
Senior Mortgage, or (2) constructing, renovating, repairing, furnishing, fixturing or equipping the Property).

4.2. Subordinate Lender Subordination of Subrogation Rights. The Subordinate Lender agrees that if, by reason of its payment of real estate taxes or other monetary obligations of the 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 Property which (but for this subsection) would be senior to the lien of the Senior Mortgage, then, in that event, such lien shall be subject and subordinate to the lien of the Senior Mortgage.

4.3. Payments Before Senior Mortgage Loan Default. Until the Subordinate Lender receives a Default Notice of a Senior Mortgage Loan Default from the County, the Subordinate Lender shall be entitled to retain for its own account all payments made under or pursuant to the Subordinate Loan Documents.

4.4. Payments After Senior Mortgage Loan Default. The Borrower agrees that, after it receives notice (or otherwise acquires knowledge) of a Senior Mortgage Loan 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, attorney's fees, or any other sums secured by the Subordinate Mortgage) without the County's prior written consent. The Subordinate Lender agrees that, after it receives a Default Notice from the County with written instructions directing the Subordinate Lender not to accept payments from the Borrower on account of the Subordinate Loans, 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, attorney's fees, or any other sums secured by the Subordinate Mortgages) without the County's prior written consent. If the Subordinate Lender receives written notice from the County that the Senior Mortgage Loan Default that gave rise to the Subordinate Lender's obligation not to accept payments has been cured, waived, or otherwise suspended by the County, the restrictions on payment to the Subordinate Lender in this Section 4.4 shall terminate, and the County shall have no right to any subsequent payments made to the Subordinate Lender by the Borrower prior to the Subordinate Lender's receipt of a new Default Notice from the County in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.4.

4.5. Remitting Subordinate Loan Payments to County. If, after the Subordinate Lender receives a Default Notice from the County in accordance with subsection 4.4 above, the Subordinate Lender receives any payments under the Subordinate Loan Documents, the Subordinate Lender agrees that such payment or other distribution will be received and held in trust for the County and unless the County otherwise notifies the Subordinate Lender in writing, will be promptly remitted, in kind to the County, properly endorsed to the County, to be applied to the principal of, interest on and other amounts due under the Senior Mortgage Loan Documents in accordance with the provisions of the Senior Mortgage Loan Documents. By executing this Agreement, the Borrower specifically authorizes the Subordinate Lender to endorse and remit any such payments to the County, and specifically waives any and all rights to have such payments returned to the Borrower or credited against the Subordinate Loans. Borrower and County acknowledge and agree that payments received by the Subordinate Lender, and remitted to the County under this Section 4.5, shall not be applied or otherwise credited against the Subordinate Loans, nor shall the tender of such payment to the County waive any Subordinate Loan Default County -San Clemente 6

which may arise from the inability of the Subordinate Lender to retain such payment or apply such payment to the Subordinate Loans.

4.6. Subordinate Lender Agreement Not to Commence Bankruptcy Proceeding.

SECTION 5 – DEFAULT OF SUBORDINATE LOAN DOCUMENTS

5. Terms.

5.1. Notice of Default and Cure Rights. The Subordinate Lender shall deliver to the County a Default Notice within five (5) Business Days in each case where the Subordinate Lender has given a Default Notice to the Borrower. Failure of the Subordinate Lender to send a Default Notice to the County shall not prevent the exercise of the Subordinate Lender's rights and remedies under the Subordinate Loan Documents, subject to the provisions of this Agreement. The County shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure any Subordinate Loan Default or Regulatory Agreement Default (as applicable) within sixty (60) days following the date of such notice; provided, however that the Subordinate Lender shall be entitled, during such sixty (60) day period, to continue to pursue its rights and remedies under the Subordinate Loan Documents. All amounts paid by the County in accordance with the Senior Mortgage Loan Documents to cure a Subordinate Loan Default or Regulatory Agreement Default (as applicable) shall be deemed to have been advanced by the County pursuant to, and shall be secured by the lien of, the Senior Mortgage.

5.2. Subordinate Lender's Exercise of Remedies After Notice to County. If a Subordinate Loan Default or Regulatory Agreement Default occurs and is continuing, the Subordinate Lender agrees that, without the County's prior written consent, it will not commence foreclosure proceedings with respect to the Property under the Subordinate Loan Documents or exercise any other rights or remedies it may have under the Subordinate Loan Documents, including, but not limited to accelerating one or both of the Subordinate Loans, collecting rents, appointing (or seeking the appointment of) a receiver or exercising any other rights or remedies thereunder unless and until it has given the County at least sixty (60) days' prior written notice; during such sixty (60) day period, however, the Subordinate Lender shall be entitled to exercise and enforce all other rights and remedies available to the Subordinate Lender under the Subordinate Loan Documents and/or under applicable laws.

5.3. Cross Default. The Borrower and the Subordinate Lender agree that any of a Subordinate Loan Default or Regulatory Agreement Default shall constitute a Senior Mortgage Loan Default under the Senior Mortgage Loan Documents and the County shall have the right to exercise all rights or remedies under the Senior Mortgage Loan Documents in the same manner as in the case of any other Senior Mortgage Loan Default. If the Subordinate Lender notifies the County in writing that any Subordinate Loan Default or Regulatory Agreement Default of which the County has received a Default Notice has been cured or waived, as determined by the Subordinate Lender in its sole discretion, then provided that County has not conducted a sale of the Property pursuant to its rights under the Senior Mortgage Loan Documents, any Senior Mortgage Loan Default under the Senior Mortgage Loan Documents arising solely from such Subordinate Loan County -San Clemente 7
Talega I (HOME loan)
Subordination Agreement
Default or Regulatory Agreement Default shall be deemed cured, and the Senior Mortgage Loan shall be reinstated, provided, however, that the County shall not be required to return or otherwise credit for the benefit of the Borrower any default rate interest or other default related charges or payments received by the County during such Senior Mortgage Loan Default.

SECTION 6 – DEFAULT UNDER SENIOR MORTGAGE LOAN DOCUMENTS

6. Terms.

6.1. Notice of Default and Cure Rights. The County shall deliver to the Subordinate Lender a Default Notice within five (5) Business Days in each case where the County has given a Default Notice to the Borrower. Failure of the County to send a Default Notice to the Subordinate Lender shall not prevent the exercise of the County's rights and remedies under the Senior Loan Documents, subject to the provisions of this Agreement. The Subordinate Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure any such Senior Mortgage Loan Default within sixty (60) days following the date of such notice; provided, however, that the County shall be entitled during such sixty (60) day period to continue to pursue its remedies under the Senior Mortgage Loan Documents. Subordinate Lender may have up to ninety (90) days from the date of the Default Notice to cure a non-monetary default if during such ninety (90) day period Subordinate Lender keeps current all payments required by the Senior Mortgage Loan Documents. In the event that such a non-monetary default creates an unacceptable level of risk relative to the Property, or County's secured position relative to the Property, as determined by County in its sole discretion, then County may exercise during such ninety (90) day period all available rights and remedies to protect and preserve the Property and the rents, revenues and other proceeds from the Property. All amounts paid by the Subordinate Lender to the County to cure a Senior Mortgage Loan Default shall be deemed to have been advanced by the Subordinate Lender pursuant to, and shall be secured by the lien of, the Subordinate Mortgages.

6.2. Cross Default. The Subordinate Lender agrees that, notwithstanding any contrary provision contained in the Subordinate Loan Documents, a Senior Mortgage Loan Default shall not constitute a default under the Subordinate Loan Documents if no other default occurred under the Subordinate Loan Documents until either (i) the County has accelerated the maturity of the Senior Mortgage Loan, or (ii) the County has taken affirmative action to exercise its rights under the Senior Mortgage to collect rent, to appoint (or seek the appointment of) a receiver or to foreclose on (or to exercise a power of sale contained in) the Senior Mortgage. At any time after a Senior Mortgage Loan Default is determined to constitute a default under the Subordinate Loan Documents, the Subordinate Lender shall be permitted to pursue its remedies for default under the Subordinate Loan Documents, subject to the restrictions and limitations of this Agreement. If at any time the Borrower cures any Senior Mortgage Loan Default to the satisfaction of the County, as evidenced by written notice from the County to the Subordinate Lender, any default under the Subordinate Loan Documents arising from such Senior Mortgage Loan Default shall be deemed cured and the Subordinate Loans shall be retroactively reinstated as if such Senior Mortgage Loan Default had never occurred.

7.2.2.2. All proceeds received or to be received on account of a Taking or a Casualty, or both, shall be applied (either to payment of the costs and expenses of repair and restoration or to payment of the Senior Mortgage Loan) in the manner determined by the County in its sole discretion; provided, however, that if the County elects to apply such proceeds to payment of the principal of, interest on and other amounts payable under the Senior Mortgage Loan, any proceeds remaining after the satisfaction in full of the principal of, interest on and other amounts payable under the Senior Mortgage Loan shall be paid to, and may be applied by, the Subordinate Lender in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Subordinate Loan Documents, provided however, the County agrees to consult with the Subordinate Lender in determining the application of Casualty proceeds, provided further however that in the event of any disagreement between the County and the Subordinate Lender over the application of Casualty proceeds, the decision of the County, in its sole discretion, shall prevail.
