deemed to be covenants running with the land and binding upon Owner, and its successors in

assigns (collectively, the '`City"), as follows:
1. The findings set forth in the Recitals of this Declaration are hereby adopted by
reference and incorporated herein, as if fully set forth in this Section.
2. Restrictive Covenants. Owner shall be subject to the following Covenants and
restrictions during the Affordability Period:
(i) Owner shall construct the Project, and from the Project Completion Date,
continuously use the Premises solely and exclusively as an affordable residential rental
property that is consistent with the stated use and purpose of the Project and ancillary
uses related to affordable housing but for no other purpose.
(ii) Owner must open and continuously (subject to temporary vacancies or
closures for repairs and alterations as reasonably necessary to maintain the Project in
good condition and repair and only for such time as reasonably required for such
purposes), operate the Premises as an affordable rental property for Extremely-Low,
Very-Low- and Low-Income elderly persons, that is consistent with the rules and
regulations promulgated by the United States Department of Housing and Urban
Development("HUD"), as same may be amended from time to time during the Affordability
Period; and the rents charged and the tenants thereof must qualify under the rules and
regulations promulgated by HUD at CFR Part 92, as same may be amended from time to
time("HOME Program"). Terms defined in 24 CFR Part 92, and any amendments thereto,
not otherwise defined in this Declaration, shall have the meaning set forth therein.
(iii) If at any time during the Affordability Period the Premises are no longer
used as an affordable residential rental property for elderly persons (in accordance with
subsections (i) and (ii) above), then Owner shall be deemed to be in default; should such
default remain uncured for a period of thirty(30)days after notice thereof shall have been
given by the City to Owner (or for an extended period not to exceed one hundred twenty
days (120) days as may be approved by the City Manager (as defined in the Amended
and Restated HOME Agreement), in the City Manager's sole discretion, if the City
Manager determines that such default stated in such notice can be corrected by Owner
but not within such thirty (30) day period, and further provided that Owner commences
such correction within such initial thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently pursues
the same to completion within such approved extended period not to exceed one hundred
twenty (120) days), the City shall be entitled to avail itself of any and all remedies under
this Declaration and/or any other Loan Documents (as defined in the recital), including full
and immediate repayment of the Funds, together with all interest thereon, at the Default
Interest Rate (as defined in the Note). Notwithstanding the foregoing, City acknowledges
and agrees that Senior Lenders have the right, but not the obligation, to cure defaults as
expressly set forth in the Subordination Agreements (as defined herein).
(iv) In order to further ensure the enforcement of this Section 2, Owner hereby
recognizes, agrees, authorizes, and covenants that the Premises shall not be
encumbered, refinanced, sold, transferred, disposed of, or otherwise conveyed, except for
the following: (i) upon the prior written approval of the City Manager; or (ii) in the case of
a Permitted Transfer (as defined in the Mortgage, and which is anticipated to include
Additional Project Financing and use restrictions related thereto, subject to the City
Page 3 of 14
Manager's approval); or(iii)the lien of the Permitted Senior Mortgages(as defined herein),
as and to the extent set forth in each of the Subordination Agreements entered into by
Leasehold Owner, the City and each Senior Lender (as defined herein) of even date
herewith and recorded contemporaneously herewith in the Public Records of Miami-Dade
County, Florida (collectively, the "Subordination Agreements"). If at any time during the
Affordability Period the Premises are sold, transferred; or refinanced or encumbered (other
than by a Permitted Transfer or Permitted Senior Mortgage) without the prior written
consent of the City Manager, Owner shall be responsible for the full and immediate
payment to the City of the Funds(i.e. for purposes of this subsection "immediate payment"
shall be defined as delivery and receipt of payment in full of the Funds, to the City no later
than on the date of closing of the proposed mortgage, sale, transfer, or refinance), together
with all interest thereon, at the Default Interest Rate; provided that no such sale, transfer,
refinancing or encumbrance shall operate to impair the enforceability of this Declaration,
which, subject to the rights of the Senior Lenders as expressly set forth in the
Subordination Agreements, shall remain in full force and effect at all times during the
Affordability Period.
(v) With regard to any sale, conveyance or transfer of the Premises or any
direct or indirect general partner, managing member or similar interest in Leasehold
Owner (other than any (i) foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure by a Senior Lender
under a Permitted Senior Mortgage or any pledge or collateral assignment to such Senior
Lender of partnership interests or other collateral or(ii) such sale, conveyance or transfer
to Fee Owner or an HACMB Affiliate (as defined herein) or (iii) such transfer to the tax
credit equity investor of Leasehold Owner in connection with a removal of the general
partner for cause), in addition to repayment of the Funds, together with all interest thereon,
at the Default Interest Rate, Owner shall pay the City, as additional interest, one and eight-
tenths percent (1.8%) of the profit realized from such sale, conveyance or transfer of the
Premises or any direct or indirect ownership interests in Leasehold Owner ("Profit
Recapture"). The "net profits" shall mean the greater of the fair market value or purchase
price of the Premises at the time of such sale, conveyance or transfer less (a) the
outstanding balances secured by each of(I)the Permitted Senior Mortgages, (II)the City's
Mortgage and (III) any subordinate mortgages approved by the City, (b) any unreturned
limited partnership equity contributions made to Leasehold Owner by its limited partners
at the closing of the construction loan (not to exceed $26,310,934.00), (c) any then-
outstanding amount of the deferred developer fee contributed to Leasehold Owner by its
partners or their affiliates at the closing of the construction loan (not to exceed
$3,228,043.00) and (d) reasonable and customary closing costs. For purposes of the
foregoing, the mortgage made by Leasehold Owner, as mortgagor, to HACMB, as
mortgagee, to secure indebtedness in the amount of $8,800,000.00 is an approved
subordinate mortgage as and to the extent set forth in that certain Subordination
Agreement dated as of the date hereof by and between the City, as senior lender, HACMB,
as subordinate lender, and Leasehold Owner, as borrower. In the event of a sale,
conveyance or transfer of less than all of the direct or indirect general partnership,
managing member or similar interests in Leasehold Owner (other than any such transfer
to Fee Owner or an HACMB Affiliate), the City's Profit Recapture shall be calculated in
accordance with the formula set forth herein and further multiplied by the percentage of
such direct or indirect ownership interests being sold, conveyed or transferred. Any
subordinate mortgages which are not approved in writing by the City Manager shall not be
considered in determining the net profits. Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing
paragraph or otherwise in the Loan Documents to the contrary:
(A) the Profit Recapture shall be treated as interest for solely federal income
Page 4 of 14
tax purposes and each of the parties agrees to report it as such on any applicable returns;
and
(B) the amount of Profit Recapture shall in no event exceed the maximum
interest rate that at any time or from time to time may be contracted for, charged or
received under the laws of the State of Florida.
(vi) In the event of a sale, conveyance or transfer of the Premises at any time
prior to the expiration of the Affordability Period, other than (i) by foreclosure or deed in
lieu of foreclosure by a Senior Lender under a Permitted Senior Mortgage or any pledge
or collateral assignment to Senior Lender of partnership interests or other collateral or(ii)
a sale conveyance or transfer to HACMB or any of the following entities (and no others)
provided that such entities are at all times 100%wholly-owned by HACMB(or, with respect
to HACMB — VB (as defined herein), wholly-owned by an entity that is wholly-owned by
HACMB): Vista Breeze HACMB, Inc., a Florida nonprofit corporation ("VBHI"); Miami
Beach Housing Initiatives, Inc., a Florida nonprofit corporation("MBHI"); or HACMB—Vista
Breeze, LLC, a Florida limited liability company ("HACMB - VB") (each such entity 100%
wholly-owned by HACMB (or, with respect to HACMB — VB, wholly-owned by MBHI), an
"HACMB Affiliate" and, together, the "HACMB Affiliates"), pursuant to any purchase
option, right of first refusal, or otherwise, the City shall be given the right of first refusal to
purchase the Premises (and the City's acquisition of the Property pursuant to such right
of first refusal shall be subject to and not extinguish any purchase option or right of first
refusal in favor of HACMB or an HACMB Affiliate) and, unless the City otherwise agrees
in writing, shall not extinguish the City's Mortgage. In such case, Owner shall provide the
City with a written notice of the intent to sell, convey or transfer the Premises, and, at the
City's option, an appraisal of the Premises (the "Offer Notice"), along with a copy of any
applicable signed purchase and sale agreement (the "Purchase Offer"), which Purchase
Offer shall be contingent upon the City's refusal to exercise its Right of First
Refusal. Within fifteen (15)days from receipt of said Offer Notice, the City Manager or his
designee may request additional information related to the sale, conveyance or transfer
of the Premises ("Additional Information"). The City Manager, on behalf of the City, shall
have sixty (60) days from receipt of said Offer Notice or the Additional Information,
whichever occurs later("Acceptance Period"), to elect to exercise the right of first refusal,
on its behalf and/or on behalf of its assignee to purchase the Premises for continued
occupancy by eligible persons. If the City elects to exercise the right of first refusal, the
City shall provide Owner with written confirmation of said election to consummate the
transaction within the Acceptance Period. If the City elects not to exercise the right of first
refusal, as confirmed in writing by the City Manager, or fails to respond, in writing, to Owner
within the Acceptance Period, Owner shall have the right to consummate the Purchase
Offer. Any favorable change in the material terms of the Purchase Offer (such as a
decrease in the purchase price)or any new purchase offers shall require Owner to provide
the City with a new written Offer Notice. Fee Owner hereby represents and warrants to
the City that Fee Owner has formed and is the sole member of VBHI and MBHI and that
MBHI is the sole member of HACMB - VB. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth in this Declaration or any of the Loan Documents, if at
any time any of VBHI, MBHI and/or HACMB - VB ceases to be 100% wholly-owned by
HACMB (or, in the case of HACMB — VB, wholly-owned by MBHI), then all such entities
shall cease to be "HACMB Affiliates" for all purposes of this Declaration and the Loan
Documents.
(vii) Notwithstanding the prohibition in subsection (iv) hereof, Owner may be
allowed to refinance the Premises during the Affordability Period and this Declaration will
Page 5 of 14
remain in full force and effect, and the City will subordinate its Mortgage, subject to
Owner's compliance with the following conditions:
