WHEREAS, it is a condition precedent to CalHFA making the CalHFA Loan that <br />the Locality provide for the standstill of certain provisions of the Density Bonus Agreement if <br />CalHFA is required to exercise certain remedies under the CalHFA Documents; and <br /> <br />H. WHEREAS, at the request of Borrower, the Locality agrees to enter into this <br />Agreement to assure Borrower may access the additional funding sources provided under the <br />CalHFA Documents for permanent financing to the benefit of the Development. <br /> <br />NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and other consideration the receipt <br />and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged and in order to induce CalHFA to make the <br />CalHFA Loan, the parties hereto agree as follows: <br /> <br />1. Standstill of Certain Density Bonus Agreement Provisions. <br /> <br />(a) In the event CalHFA becomes the owner of the Development due to CalHFA’s <br />exercise of its rights under the CalHFA Documents as a result of an uncured Borrower <br />default under the CalHFA Documents, through judicial foreclosure sale, non-judicial <br />foreclosure, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, or otherwise pursuant to the CalHFA Documents, <br />then, for a maximum period of five (5) consecutive years commencing on the date of <br />CalHFA’s ownership of the Development in order to permit sufficient time for CalHFA to <br />transfer the Development to a transferee (the “Standstill Term”), which transferee shall <br />have successfully operated and maintained at least three comparable developments within <br />the past five years, Locality hereby agrees that, during the Standstill Term, Locality shall <br />refrain from exercising any of the remedies, requirements, and/or rights of Locality <br />expressly set forth in the Standstill Provisions, except as otherwise allowed by this Section <br />1(a). Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing provisions to the contrary, Locality shall <br />have the right to exercise its rights and remedies during the Standstill Term to enforce <br />against CalHFA as the owner of the Development, and Borrower, if applicable, a violation <br />of the unit, household, and tenant affordability limitations (such affordability limitations <br />are referred to herein collectively as the “Affordability Limitations”) set forth in the <br />Density Bonus Agreement provided that Locality’s right is limited to Locality’s exercise <br />of equitable rights and remedies, including, and limited to, specific performance and/or <br />injunction, for any violation of the Affordability Limitations that remains uncured for a <br />period of ninety (90) calendar days from receipt of a notice from Locality of violation to <br />CalHFA or to Borrower if applicable. The provisions of this Section 1 are solely for the <br />benefit of CalHFA and are personal to CalHFA, and shall not be effective, available, or <br />exercised by Borrower or any other transferee or successor owner of the Development or <br />any interest therein. For the avoidance of any doubt, if CalHFA becomes the owner of the <br />Development as described in this Section 1(a), then upon a sale, conveyance, transfer or <br />otherwise from CalHFA to any other transferee or successor, the parties to this Agreement <br />agree that any such transferee or successor shall be subject to Locality’s enforcement of all <br />provisions of the Density Bonus Agreement, including the Standstill Provisions, and <br />ATTY/AGR.2025.127/California Housing Finance Agency (CalHFA) (Page 3 of 11) <br />6.K. - Page 7 of 15 <br />89
