BACKGROUND
Pueblo Village Apartments, LLC has applied and received Low Income Housing

as Pueblo Village Apartments. Pueblo Village Apartments, LLC has applied to
the Department of Housing and Citizen Services for $400,000 in HOME funds.
Total project costs are $13,289,589.
The funds are to be used for the rehabilitation of a 128 -unit project based Section
8 rental housing project, which is located at 2401 Alma. One unit is for a site
manager with the remainder reserved for households earning less than 50% of
the area median income of $18,850. Restrictions placed on the project require
that the properties remain affordable for a period of 20 years for the HOME funds
and 40 years for the Tax Credit funds.

The estimated Project cost is $13.3 million. The $399,000 in HOME funds would
be provided as a 1% loan. Monthly principal and interest payments are set at
$1,283.34 and will be paid from available net cash flow. All funds received are
considered program income and will return to the HOME fund. The loan is
secured by a deed of trust, which is subordinate to the primary lender's deed of
trust.
The HOME funds are available in the 251 Fund.

(b) The full amount of loan assistance provided to Developer pursuant to this
Agreement shall constitute an indebtedness of Developer to the City (or subsequent holder of

"Promissory Note" or "Note ") which shall be due and payable with interest as provided therein
and which shall be secured by the following real property located in Pueblo County, Colorado
(the "Property"):

A part of the NW 1/4 of the NW 1/4 of Section 14, Township 21 South, Range
65 West of the 6 1h P.M., more particularly described as follows:
Beginning at a point 150 feet East of the East line of Prairie Avenue, 647 feet

N. 89 °20' East a distance of 441.62 feet to a point on the westerly line of Alma
Avenue, if extended, according to the recorded plat of Mahoney Subdivision,
Second Filing, thence due South along the Westerly line of said Alma Avenue a

Avenue S. 10 °0'40" East a distance of 275.08 feet to a point on the North line of
Plains Street, according to the recorded plat of Mahoney Subdivision, First
Filing, thence due West along said North line of Plains Street, a distance of
639.25 feet to a point on the East line of Prairie Avenue; thence due North along
said East line of Prairie Avenue a distance of 205.89 feet; thence N. 89 °20' East
a distance of 100 feet to a point; thence due North a distance of 255 feet to a
point; thence N. 89 °20' East a distance of 50 feet to a point; thence due North a
distance of 145 feet (146.48 measured) to the point of beginning.
as evidenced by (a) a Deed of Trust executed by the Owner securing a Note executed by Owner
which is payable to Developer, and (b) a Collateral Assignment of Note and Deed of Trust (the
Assignment ") assigning all of Developer's rights and interest in said Deed of Trust and Owner
Note to City to be executed contemporaneously with said Promissory Note. Developer
promises to pay to City or holder the indebtedness as and to the extent same becomes due
under the provisions of the Promissory Note and this Agreement. The amount of the assistance
shall continue as an indebtedness until paid in full and thereafter for the full period of
affordability.
(c) During the full Term of this Agreement and for the period of affordability, (i)
any failure by Developer or Owner to perform any obligation, covenant or provision of the
Note or this Agreement required to be performed by Developer or Owner, or (ii) any breach of
any warranty made by Developer in this Agreement, or (iii) any other violation of any material
term of this Agreement or the Deed of Trust given to secure the Note, shall constitute an event
of default under this Agreement and the Note. With respect to Developer's failure to observe
or perform any non - monetary covenant or condition contained in this Agreement or any other
Loan Document, such failure shall not become an event of default until thirty (30) days after
Lender's written notice to Developer and to Owner's investor member at the address set
forth in the Deed of Trust of the non - monetary covenant default: provided, however, that if
any such Developer failure concerning a non - monetary covenant or condition is susceptible to
cure and cannot reasonably be cured within said thirty (30) days, then no Developer event of
default shall be deemed to exist hereunder so long as Developer commences such cure within
the initial thirty (30) day period and diligently and in good faith pursues such cure to
completion within the following sixty (60) day period from the date of Lender's notice. Upon
any event of default by Developer or Owner, the entire indebtedness, together with accrued
interest, and the entire amount of the grant, shall at the election of the holder, at once become
immediately due and payable. Failure of the holder to exercise this election shall not constitute
a waiver of the right to exercise the same in the event of any subsequent failure to make any
payment or other default. If the entire indebtedness is declared immediately due and payable
by the holder pursuant to the provisions of the above paragraphs, from and after the date of
such declaration or acceleration the indebtedness shall accrue interest at the rate of twelve
5
percent (12 %) per annum until the date when the entire indebtedness and such accrued interest
is paid in full. Developer further agrees that no release of any security for the indebtedness or
extension of time for payment of same, or any installment thereof, and no alteration,
amendment or waiver of any provision of the Note, the Assignment, or the Deed of Trust
securing same shall in any manner, release, discharge, modify or affect the obligations of
Developer and Owner under this Agreement, the Note, the Assignment and Deed of Trust.
(d) The City agrees to subordinate the lien of its deed of trust on the Property to the
lien of the CHFA first lien deed of trust, and to execute and deliver to the Colorado Housing
and Finance Authority a Subordination Agreement evidencing the City's agreement to
subordinate its security interest and repayment right to the security interest and repayment right
of CHFA and to the Land Use Restriction Agreement required by CHFA to comply with
Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code.

option, all property acquired by Developer with grant funds, all grant funds, program income,
and mortgage loans originated with grant funds or by payments therefrom and payments
received under such mortgage loans, held, owned or retained by Developer shall immediately
become the sole and separate property of the City and Developer shall perform all acts and

mortgage loans to City. All finished or unfinished documents, data, studies reports and work
product prepared by Developer under this Agreement or with grant funds shall, at the option of

work and end of the term of this Agreement, the City may, at any time during the period of
affordability or within 5 years thereafter, require all of Developer financial records relating to
this Agreement to be turned over to the City.
9. MONITORING AND EVALUATION
The City shall have the right to monitor and evaluate the progress and performance of
Developer to assure that the terms of this Agreement are being satisfactorily fulfilled in
accordance with HUD's, City's and other applicable monitoring and evaluation criteria and

7
construed to make Developer or any of Developer's agents or employees the agents or
employees of the City. Developer shall be solely and entirely responsible for its acts and the
acts of its agents, employees and subcontractors.
12. LIABILITY & INSURANCE
(a) As to the City, Developer agrees to assume the risk of all personal injury,
including death and bodily injury, and damage to and destruction of property, including loss of
use therefrom, caused by or sustained, in whole or in part, in conjunction with or arising out of
the performance or nonperformance of this Agreement by Developer, construction and
rehabilitation of the Project, or by the conditions created thereby or resulting therefrom.
Developer further agrees to indemnify and save harmless the City, its officers, agents, attorneys
and employees, from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs, expenses, penalties and
attorney fees arising from such injuries to persons or damages to property or based upon or
arising out of the performance or nonperformance of this Agreement by Developer,
construction of the Project or out of any violation by Developer of any statute, ordinance, rule
or regulation.
(b) Developer agrees that it shall procure, or cause Owner to procure, and will
maintain during the term of this Agreement, such insurance as will protect it from claims under
workers' compensation acts, claims for damages because of personal injury including bodily
injury, sickness or disease or death of any of its employees or of any person other than its
employees, and from claims or damages because of injury to or destruction of property
including loss of use resulting therefrom; and such insurance will provide for coverage in such
amounts as set forth in subparagraph (c).
(c) The minimum insurance coverage which Developer shall obtain and keep, or
cause Owner to obtain and keep, in force is as follows:
(i) To the extent required by applicable Colorado law, Workers'
Compensation Insurance complying with statutory requirements in Colorado.
Additionally, Developer shall require those contractors and subcontractors working on

procure and maintain, at its own expense, hazard and fire insurance upon the property
described in the Deed of Trust on an "all risk" form in such amounts as City's Department

amount of all liens against the property and the amount of funds loaned to Developer by
City pursuant to this Agreement. Developer shall furnish a certificate of insurance
certifying such coverage to City's Director of Finance prior to disbursement of any funds
to Developer. Both said certificate of insurance and the policy procured by Developer
shall name the City as a loss payee.
W
13. CERTIFICATIONS
Developer agrees to execute and abide by the certifications contained in Exhibit "C"
hereto, which are hereby expressly made apart of this Agreement.
14. PROGRAM INCOME: REVERSION OF ASSETS
(a) Unless otherwise authorized by City in writing in a separate instrument
executed after date of this Agreement, interest income earned by Developer on funds provided
by City hereunder during the period between receipt of such funds by Developer and the
expenditure thereof for a purpose authorized by this Agreement shall be deemed program
income within the meaning of 24 CFR §92.2 and shall be promptly repaid by Developer to
City. Additionally, in the event HUD or the Inspector General of HUD, should determine that
any other income received by Developer constitutes program income within the meaning of 24
CFR §92.2 which HUD or the Inspector General of HUD requires be returned to City's HOME
Investment Trust Fund Treasury Account, HOME Investment Trust Fund local account or to
HUD, then in that event Developer shall repay the amount so determined to City.
(b) Upon expiration of the term of this Agreement, or upon any prior termination,
Developer and Owner shall transfer to City any funds provided hereunder which have not been
expended for the authorized purposes of this Agreement as of the time of expiration or
termination, together with any accounts receivable attributable to the use of funds provided
hereunder.
(c) The Project, the Property, and any other real property acquired, constructed or
improved in whole or in part with funds provided pursuant to this Agreement shall be used as
affordable rental housing within the meaning of 24 CFR § 92.252 for the full period of
affordability as defined in paragraph 4 hereof. In the event the Project, the Property or such
other property ceases to be so used, Developer shall immediately pay to City the full amount of
the grant, plus the greater of (i) an amount equal to the current market value of the Project and
property less any portion of the value attributable to expenditures of funds not provided under
this Agreement for the construction of the Project or acquisition of, or improvements to, the
Property or, (ii) the remaining principal balance and accrued interest owing under the Note. The
use restriction and repayment obligation set forth in this subparagraph shall survive termination
or expiration of this Agreement and shall be fully enforceable and subject to collection by City
or HUD in accordance with applicable laws. Developer shall execute the Assignment and
have Owner execute the Deed of Trust which shall be and constitute a lien upon the Property
and all other real property acquired or improved with funds provided hereunder, and which
shall secure all obligations of Developer hereunder.
(d) In the event City incurs any cost or expense in enforcing the requirements
of this Agreement, including but not limited to the requirements of this paragraph 14, or in
bringing any action to recover the Project or Property or amount of any repayment
obligation, or to foreclose or obtain sale under the Assignment and Deed of Trust or other
mortgage or security instrument, City shall be entitled to recover its costs and expenses,
including reasonable attorneys fees.
(e) To further ensure that the funds provided hereunder to Developer do not
constitute an investment of more HOME funds than are necessary to provide affordable
housing (as required by 24 CFR §92.250(b)), Developer commits to either retain ownership of
9
the project or have Owner retain ownership for a period of not less than 20 years from and after
the completion of the project. Consequently, in the event Developer or Owner should sell or
transfer title to the Project, the Property or other real property or improvements constructed or
improved with funds provided pursuant to this Agreement, within 20 years after substantial
completion of the Project or said improvements, the entire indebtedness shall immediately
become due and payable and shall be repaid to City, together with interest thereon at the rate of
12% per annum from the time of substantial completion until said repayment is made; the
aforestated deed of trust or mortgage instrument shall also secure this repayment obligation.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the sale of the real property designated as the
"Small Parcel" within the Deed of Trust shall not trigger acceleration of the indebtedness,
nor be deemed a Transfer (defined below).
(f) It is the intent of the parties that §38 -30 -165, C.R.S. and any similar statute
hereafter enacted, be preempted under federal law and regulations in order to maintain
affordability of the rental units within the Property. Consequently, this Agreement shall not be
assumable, and the indebtedness shall be due and payable upon sale, transfer or assignment, or
any attempted sale or transfer of the Property (a "Transfer ") by Developer or Owner, unless all
of the following circumstances are demonstrated to exist: (i) more than 20 years have elapsed
since the substantial completion of the project, or the City approves transfer of the Project and
