22 DRAFT--Contact the Office of the City Clerk at (408) 535-1260 or [email protected] for final document.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer shall choose its own counsel in accordance with applicable law for selection of counsel to governmental entities such as the Issuer to litigate, compromise or settle any such Claims (and such counsel may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, also be Borrower’s counsel, as long as Borrower’s counsel is acceptable to the Issuer).

Sections 4.02 and 5.09 shall be recourse to the Borrower but non-recourse to the partners of the Borrower.
Section 5.13. Trust Indenture. The provisions of the Indenture concerning the Bonds and other matters therein are an integral part of the terms and conditions of the Bond Loan Notes, and this Financing Agreement shall constitute conclusive evidence of approval of the Indenture by the Borrower to the extent it relates to the Borrower. Additionally, the Borrower agrees that, whenever the Indenture by its terms imposes a duty or obligation upon the Borrower, such duty or obligation shall be binding upon the Borrower to the same extent as if the Borrower were an express party to the Indenture, and the Borrower agrees to carry out and perform all of its obligations under the Indenture as fully as if the Borrower were a party to the Indenture.

24 DRAFT--Contact the Office of the City Clerk at (408) 535-1260 or [email protected] for final document.
(a) Failure by the Borrower to pay any amounts due under this Financing Agreement at the times and in the amounts required hereby; or (b) Failure by the Borrower to observe or perform any covenants, agreements or obligations in this Financing Agreement on its part to be observed or performed (other than as provided in clause (a) above) for a period of thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice specifying such failure and requesting that it be remedied, given to the Borrower by any party to this Financing Agreement; provided, however, that if said failure shall be such that it cannot be corrected within such period, it shall not constitute an Event of Default if the failure is correctable without material adverse effect on the Bonds and if corrective action is instituted by the Borrower within such period and diligently pursued until the failure is corrected, and provided further that any such failure shall have been cured within ninety (90) days of receipt of notice of such failure; or (c) Breach of any of the covenants, agreements or obligations of the Borrower under or the occurrence of a default which is continuing under the Regulatory Agreement, including any exhibits to any of the foregoing; or
(d) The occurrence of an Event of Default caused by the Borrower under and as defined in the Indenture or under any of the other Financing Documents.
Nothing contained in this Section 8.01 is intended to amend or modify any of the provisions of the Construction Loan Documents or the Permanent Loan Documents or to bind the Borrower, the Lender or Fannie Mae to any notice and cure periods other than as expressly set forth in the Construction Loan Documents or the Permanent Loan Documents.
Section 8.02. Remedies Upon an Event of Default.
(a) Subject to Section 8.02(d), whenever any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Issuer or the Trustee may take any one or more of the following remedial steps:
(i) By any suit, action or proceeding, pursue all remedies now or hereafter existing at law or in equity to collect all amounts then due and thereafter to become due under this Financing Agreement and the Bond Loan Notes, to enforce the performance of any covenant, obligation or agreement of the Borrower under this Financing Agreement and the Bond Loan Notes (subject to the nonrecourse provisions of this Financing Agreement and the Regulatory Agreement) or to enjoin acts or things which may be unlawful or in violation of the rights of the Issuer or the Trustee.
(ii) Take whatever other action at law or in equity may appear necessary or desirable to enforce any monetary obligation of the Borrower under this Financing Agreement and the Bond Loan Notes or to enforce any other covenant, obligation or agreement of the Borrower under (1) this Financing Agreement, (2) the Regulatory Agreement or (3) the Bond Loan Notes.
25 DRAFT--Contact the Office of the City Clerk at (408) 535-1260 or [email protected] for final document.
(iii) Have access to and inspect, examine, audit and make copies of the books and records and any and all accounts, data and income tax and other tax returns of the Borrower.
(b) The provisions of subsection (a) hereof are subject to the condition that if, after any Event of Default, except a default under the Regulatory Agreement, (i) all amounts which would then be payable hereunder by the Borrower if such Event of Default had no t occurred and was not continuing shall have been paid by or on behalf of the Borrower, and (ii) the Borrower shall have also performed all other obligations in respect of which it is then in default hereunder and shall have paid the reasonable charges and expenses of the Issuer and the Trustee, including reasonable attorney fees and expenses paid or incurred in connection with such default, then and in every such case, such Event of Default may be waived and annulled by the Trustee, but no such waiver or a nnulment shall extend to or affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right or remedy consequent thereon.
(c) Subject to the limitations of the Regulatory Agreement and this Financing Agreement, the Issuer, without the consent of the Trustee, but only after written notice to the Trustee, the Borrower, the Lender and Fannie Mae, may take whatever action at law or in equity may appear necessary or desirable to enforce performance and observance of any Reserved Right of the Issuer; provided that, the Issuer may not (i) terminate this Financing Agreement or cause the Construction Loan or Permanent Loan to become due and payable, (ii) cause the Trustee to declare the principal of all Bonds then Outstanding and the interest accrued thereon to be immediately due and payable, or cause the Trustee to accelerate, foreclose or take any other action or seek other remedies under the Financing Documents, the Construction Loan Documents, Permanent Loan Documents or any other documents contemplated hereby or thereby to obtain such performance or observance, (iii) cause the acceleration, foreclosure or taking of any other action or the seeking of any remedies under the Construction Loan Documents or the Permanent Loan Documents, (iv) initiate or take any action which may have the effect, directly or indirectly, of impairing the ability of the Borrower to timely pay the principal, interest and other amounts due under the Construction Loan or the Permanent Loan, or (v) interfere with or attempt to influence the exercise by Fannie Mae of any of its rights under the Financing Documents, t he Construction Loan Documents or the Permanent Loan Documents. (d) Except as required to be deposited in the Rebate Fund pursuant to the Tax Certificate, any amounts collected pursuant to action taken under this Section 8.02 shall, after the payment of the costs and expenses of the proceedings resulting in the collection of such moneys and of the outstanding fees, the expenses, liabilities and advances incurred or made by the Trustee, the Issuer, the Lender or Fannie Mae and their respective counsel, be applied in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture. No action taken pursuant to this Section shall relieve the Borrower from the Borrower’s obligations pursuant to Section
5.09 hereof.
(e) No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Issuer or the Trustee is intended to be exclusive of any other available remedy or remedies, but each and every
26 DRAFT--Contact the Office of the City Clerk at (408) 535-1260 or [email protected] for final document.
such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy now or hereafter existing pursuant to any other agreement at law or in equity or by statute. (f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Financing Agreement to the contrary, after the MBS Delivery Date, so long as Fannie Mae is not in default under the MBS, none of the Issuer, the Trustee or any Person under their control shall exercise any remedies or direct any proceedings under this Financing Agreement or the Permanent Loan Documents, other than to (i) enforce rights under the MBS, (ii) enforce the tax covenants in the Indenture, the Tax Certificate and this Financing Agreement, or (iii) enforce rights of specific performance under the Regulatory Agreement; provided, however, that any enforcement under (ii) or (iii) above shall not include seeking monetary damages other than actions for the Issuer Fees and Expenses.
Section 8.03. Default Under Regulatory Agreement.
(a) If the Borrower fails, at any time for any reason, to comply with the requirements of the Regulatory Agreement, then within thirty (30) days after the earlier of the date the violation is discovered by the Issuer or the Trustee or the date the Issuer or the Trustee received notice thereof, the Issuer (if necessary to preserve the exclusion of interest on the Bonds from gross income for federal income tax purposes) or the Trustee, on behalf and at the request of the Issuer, shall institute an action for specific performance to correct the violation. The Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that were money damages a remedy under the Regulatory Agreement, money damages alone would not be an adequate remedy at law for a default by the Borr ower arising from a failure to comply with the Regulatory Agreement, and therefore the Borrower agrees that the remedy of specific performance (subject to the provisions of Section 8.02( c) hereof) shall be available to the Issuer and/or the Trustee in any such case.
(b) Notwithstanding the availability of the remedy of specific performance provided for in subsection (a) of this Section, promptly upon determining that a violation of the Regulatory Agreement has occurred, the Issuer shall, by notice in writing to the Lender, inform the Lender that a violation of the Regulatory Agreement has occurred; notwithstanding the occurrence of such violation, neither the Issuer nor the Trustee shall have, and each of them acknowledges that they shall not have, any right to cause or direct acceleration of the Permanent Loan, to enforce the Mortgage Note or to foreclose on the Mortgage.
Section 8.04. Limitation on Waivers.
(a) No delay or omission to exercise any right or power occurring upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver thereof, but any such right and power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed appropriate. The Issuer and the Trustee agree to give only such notices as may be herein expressly required.
(b) In the event any covenant, agreement or condition contained in this Financing Agreement shall be breached by a party and thereafter waived by another party,
27 DRAFT--Contact the Office of the City Clerk at (408) 535-1260 or [email protected] for final document.
such waiver shall not bind any party which has not waived the breach and shall be limited to the particular breach so waived and shall not be deemed to waive any other breach hereunder nor be a waiver of the same breach on a future occasion. By reason of the assignment and pledge of certain of the Issuer’s rights and interests in this Financing Agreement to the Trustee, the Issuer shall have no power to waive or release the Borrower from any Event of Default or the performance or observance of any obligation or condition of the Borrower under this Financing Agreement without first requesting and receiving the prior written consent of the Trustee, but shall do so if, requested by the Trustee; provided that the Issuer shall not be required to grant such waiver or release unless it shall have been provided with (i) if deemed necessary , in the sole discretion of the Issuer, a n Opinion of Counsel that such action will not result in any pecuniary liability to it and an Opinion of Bond Counsel that such waiver shall not cause interest on the Bonds to be included in the gross income of the Bondholders thereof for federal income tax purposes, (ii) such indemnification as the Issuer shall deem reasonably necessary, and (iii) written notice from the Trustee of the request for such waiver or release.
Section 8.05. Notice of Default; Rights to Cure. The Issuer and the Trustee shall each give notice to the other and the Trustee shall give notice to the Investor Limited Partner and the Lender of the occurrence of any Event of Default by the Borrower hereunder of which it has actual knowledge. The Lender and the Investor Limited Partner shall each have the right, but not the obligation, to cure any such default by the Borrower, and upon performance by the Lender or the Investor Limited Partner to the satisfaction of the Issuer and the Trustee of the covenant, agreement or obligation of the Borrower with respect to which an Event of Default has occurred, the parties hereto shall be restored to their former respective positions, it being agreed that the Lender and the Investor Limited Partner shall each have the right to repayment from the Borrower of moneys it has expended and any other appropriate redress for actions it has taken to cure any default by the Borrower; provided that the Borrower’s r eimbursement obligation shall be non -recourse to the same extent as the underlying obligation is non-recourse to the Borrower.
Section 8.06. Rights Cumulative. All rights and remedies herein given or granted to the Issuer and the Trustee are cumulative, nonexclusive and in addition to any and all rights and remedies that the Issuer and the Trustee may have or may be given by reason of any law, statute, ordinance or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Financing Agreement, neither the Trustee nor the Issuer may commence any action against the Borrower for specific performance or any other remedy at law or in e quity, other than to enforce performance and observance of any Reserved Right of the Issuer and its rights under Section 8.03, without first obtaining the prior written consent of Fannie Mae.
