principal amounts under the Borrower Note, including regularly scheduled principal payments and
voluntary and mandatory prepayments. The principal amount of the Governmental Lender Note and
interest thereon shall be payable on the basis specified in paragraphs (d), (e) and (f) of this Section 2.1. The

and shall upon written request provide the Governmental Lender and the Funding Lender with a statement

Permanent Phase Borrower Note. Any payment or prepayment made by the Borrower of principal, interest,
premium, if any, due on the Permanent Phase Borrower Note shall be deemed to be like payments or

paid for the use of money advanced or to be advanced hereunder exceed the highest lawful rate prescribed
under any law which a court of competent jurisdiction may deem applicable hereto. If, from any
circumstances whatsoever, the fulfillment of any provision of the Governmental Lender Note, this Funding
Loan Agreement or the other Funding Loan Documents shall involve the payment of interest in excess of
the limit prescribed by any law which a court of competent jurisdiction may deem applicable hereto, then
the obligation to pay interest hereunder shall be reduced to the maximum limit prescribed by law. If from
any circumstances whatsoever, the Funding Lender shall ever receive anything of value deemed interest,
the amount of which would exceed the highest lawful rate, such amount as would be excessive interest shall

according to the agreed terms, and (ii) any sums of money that are taken into account in the calculation of
interest, even though paid at one time, shall be spread over the actual term of the Funding Loan.

financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of i ts rights or powers
under this Funding Loan Agreement, unless it shall first have been adequately indemnified to its satisfaction
against any costs, expenses and liability which it may incur as a result of taking such action. No recourse

Note or for the satisfaction of any liability arising from, founded upon or existing by reason of the initial

the failure of the Governmental Lender to perform any covenant, undertaking or obligation under this
Funding Loan Agreement, the Borrower Loan Agreement, the Governmental Lender Note or any of the
other documents referred to herein, or as a result of the incorrectness of any repre sentation made by the
Governmental Lender in any of such documents, or for any other reason. Although this Funding Loan
Agreement recognizes that such documents shall not give rise to any pecuniary liability of the
Governmental Lender, nothing contained in this Funding Loan Agreement shall be construed to preclude
in any way any action or proceeding (other than that element of any action or proceeding involving a claim
for monetary damages against the Governmental Lender) in any court or before any governmental body,
agency or instrumentality or otherwise against the Governmental Lender or any of its officers or employees
to enforce the provisions of any of such documents which the Governmental Lender is obligated to perform
and the performance of which the Governmental Lender has not assigned to the Fiscal Agent or any other
person.

Fee not later than 10 days prior to the due date for payment of such Governmental Lender Fee, and shall

obligation of the Borrower set forth in the Regulatory Agreement, and if such default remains uncured for

provisions of the Regulatory Agreement or to exercise its other rights or remedies thereunder; provided,
however, that any such forbearance by the Funding Lender in the exercise of its remedies under the Funding

Section 9.7. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or
reserved to the Funding Lender is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right
and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and

employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertio n or
employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

Note. As set forth in this Section 9.10 but subject to Section 9.9 hereof, the Funding Lender shall have the

plead, claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or redemption
law now or hereafter in force, in order to prevent or hinder the enforcement of this Funding Loan
Agreement; and the Governmental Lender, for itself and all who may claim under it, so far as it or they now

itself and all who may claim under it, waives, to the extent that it may lawfully do so, all right to have the
property in the Security marshaled upon any enforcement hereof.
(b) If any law now in effect prohibiting the waiver referred to in Section 9.11(a) shall hereafter
be repealed or cease to be in force, such law shall not thereafter be deemed to constitute any part of the
contract herein contained or to preclude the application of this Section 9.11.

to institute and maintain proceedings to restrain the enforcement of or compliance with any Governmental
enactment, rule or order that may be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid, if the enforcement of or
30

compliance with such enactment, rule or order would impair the security hereunder or be prejudicial to the
interests of the Funding Lender.

by this Article may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable
provision of law in the premises, and all the provisions of this Article are intended to be subject to all
applicable mandatory provisions of law which may be controlling in the premises and to be limited to the
extent necessary so that they will not render this Funding Loan Agreement invalid, unenforceable or not
entitled to be recorded, registered or filed under the provisions of any applicable law.
Section 9.14. Assumption of Obligations. In the event that the Funding Lender or its assignee
or designee shall become the legal or beneficial owner of the Project by foreclosure or deed in lieu of
foreclosure, such party shall succeed to the rights and the obligations of the Borrower under the Borrower
Loan Agreement, the Permanent Phase Borrower Note, the Regulatory Agreement and any other Funding
Loan Documents to which the Borrower is a party. Such assumption shall be effective from and after the
effective date of such acquisition and shall be made with the benefit of the limitations of liability set forth
therein and without any liability for the prior acts of the Borrower.
It is the intention of the parties hereto that upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of

any of the powers, rights or remedies herein granted to the Fiscal Agent or hold title to the properties, in

exercised by the Fiscal Agent until the appointment of a successor to such separate fiscal agent or co-fiscal
agent.

(b) The Fiscal Agent shall have the right to accept and act upon instructions including funds
transfer instructions (“Instructions”) given pursuant to this Funding Loan Agreement and related financing
documents and delivered using Electronic Means; provided, however, that Borrower and/or the
Governmental Lender, as applicable, shall provide to the Fiscal Agent an incumbency certificate listing
officers with the authority to provide such Instructions (“Authorized Officers”) and containing specimen
signatures of such Authorized Officers, which incumbency certificate shall be amended by Governmental
Lender and/or the Borrower, as applicable, whenever a person is to be added or deleted from the listing.
For purposes of this subsection (b), “Electronic Means” shall mean the following communications methods:
e-mail, facsimile transmission, secure electronic transmission containing applicable authorization codes,
passwords and/or authentication keys issued by the Fiscal Agent, or another method or system specified by
the Fiscal Agent as available for use in connection with its services hereunder. If the Governmental Lender
and/or the Borrower, as applicable, elects to give the Fiscal Agent Instructions using Electronic Means and
the Fiscal Agent in its discretion elects to act upon such Instructions, the Fiscal Agent’s understanding of
such Instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Governmental Lender and the Borrower understand and
agree that the Fiscal Agent cannot determine the identity of the actual sender of such Instructions and that
the Fiscal Agent shall conclusively presume that directions that purport to have been sent by an Authorized
Officer listed on the incumbency certificate provided to the Fiscal Agent have been sent by such Authorized
Officer. The Governmental Lender and the Borrower shall be responsible for ensuring that only Authorized
Officers transmit such Instructions to the Fiscal Agent and that the Governmental Lender, the Borrower
and all Authorized Officers are solely responsible to safeguard the use and confidentiality of applicable
user and authorization codes, passwords and/or authentication keys upon receipt by the Governmental
Lender and/or the Borrower, as applicable. The Fiscal Agent shall not be liable for any losses, costs or
expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Fiscal Agent’s reliance upon and compliance with such
Instructions notwithstanding such directions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written
instruction. The Governmental Lender and the Borrower agree: (i) to assume all risks arising out of the use
of Electronic Means to submit Instructions to the Fiscal Agent, including without limitation the risk of the
Fiscal Agent acting on unauthorized Instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties;
(ii) that it is fully informed of the protections and risks associated with the various methods of transmitting
Instructions to the Fiscal Agent and that there may be more secure methods of transmitting Instructions
than the method(s) selected by the Governmental Lender and/or the Borrower, as applicable; (iii) that the
security procedures (if any) to be followed in connection with its transmission of Instructions provide to it
a commercially reasonable degree of protection in light of its particular needs and circumstances; and (iv)
to notify the Fiscal Agent immediately upon learning of any compromise or unauthorized use of the security
procedures.
Section 12.11. Reference Date. This Funding Loan Agreement is dated for reference purposes

The undersigned, as holder (the “Holder”) of a loan (the “Funding Loan”) in the principal amount

Lender, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as fiscal agent (the “Fiscal Agent”), and the
Governmental Lender (the “Funding Loan”) evidenced by the Multifamily Housing Revenue Note, Series
2023 (Vista Breeze) (the “Governmental Lender Note”), or an interest therein, hereby represents that:
1. The Holder has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial and business matters with
respect to the evaluation of residential real estate developments such as the Project to be able to evaluate
the risk and merits of the investment represented by the Governmental Lender Note. We are able to bear
the economic risks of such investment.
2. The Holder acknowledges that it has either been supplied with or been given access to
information, including financial statements and other financial information, to which a reasonable investor
would attach significance in making investment decisions, and the Holder has had the opportunity to ask
questions and receive answers from knowledgeable individuals concerning the Governmental Lender, the
Project, the use of proceeds of the Governmental Lender Note and the security therefor so that, as a
reasonable investor, the Holder has been able to make its decision to purchase the Governmental Lender
Note or an interest therein. In entering into this transaction, the Holder acknowledges that it has not relied
upon any representations or opinions of the Governmental Lender relating to the legal consequences to the
Funding Lender or other aspects of its making the Funding Loan and acquiring the Governmental Lender
Note, nor has it looked to, nor expected, the Governmental Lender to undertake or require any credit
investigation or due diligence reviews relating to the Borrower, its financial condition or business
operations, the Project (including the financing or management thereof), or any other matter pertaining to
the merits or risks of the transactions contemplated by the Funding Loan Agreement and the Borrower Loan
Agreement, or the adequacy of the funds pledged to the Funding Lender to secure repayment of the
Governmental Lender Note.
3. The Holder is an Approved Transferee.
4. The Holder acknowledges that it is purchasing [an interest in] the Governmental Lender
Note for investment for its own account and not with a present view toward resale or the distribution thereof,

Governmental Lender Note; provided, however, that the Holder may sell or transfer the Governmental
Lender Note[ or an interest therein] pursuant to the terms of Section 2.6 of the Funding Loan Agreement.
5. The Holder understands that the Governmental Lender Note is a limited obligation of the
Governmental Lender; payable solely from funds and moneys pledged and assigned under the Funding
Loan Agreement, and that the liabilities and obligations of the Governmental Lender with respect to the

documents.

4856-5616-9347.5
6. The Holder acknowledges that the Funding Loan is being made as a direct loan evidenced
by the Governmental Lender Note and not through the purchase of a municipal security and that the
Governmental Lender will not make a filing with the municipal securities Rulemaking Board ’s Electronic
Municipal Market Access Repository. The Holder acknowledges that no CUSIP numbers or credit ratings
have been obtained with respect to the Governmental Lender Note.
7. The Holder hereby indemnifies the Governmental Lender and the Fiscal Agent from and
against any and all liability, cost or expense (including attorneys’ fees) that may result if the
purchase/transfer is not exempt from registration under the Securities Act or is not made in accordance with
federal and state laws. Further, the Holder hereby affirms it shall not transfer or sel l the Governmental
Lender Note or any interest therein to a party related to or affiliated with the Borrower, any general partner,
limited partner or member of the Borrower without the prior written consent of the Governmental Lender.
