than commercial leases with respect to insubstantial portions of the Project on a square footage
basis) or permit the sale, transfer, conveyance or other encumbrance of the Project or any portion
thereof (except for leases of County-Assisted Units or Market-Rate Units) during the effective
term of this Declaration, provided that this Declaration shall not apply to any encumbrance,
conveyance or transfer in conjunction with a sale, transfer or other conveyance of the Project that
complies with the requirements of the Loan Documents and this Declaration.
12. Casualty, Condemnation, and Eminent Domain. Subject to the written requirements of the Deed of
Trust of even date with this Declaration, and an agreement between a Lender and the County, if any,
the each Declarant represents, warrants and agrees that if the Project, or any portion thereof, shall be
damaged or destroyed or shall be condemned or acquired for public use, that the proceeds of any such
condemnation or acquisition shall be assigned in full and paid to the County as required by the Loan

same condition as existed prior to the event causing such damage or destruction, or to relieve the
condemnation, and thereafter operate the Project in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents
and this Declaration. Provided, however, that if repair or restoration of the Project is not practicable,
the Declarants shall not be obligated to repair or restore the Project, and an award of damages under
this paragraph up to the amount of the unpaid principal and accrued interest of the Obligation Secured

paid to Declarants. The County shall be a party to any agreement relating to the use of condemnation
proceeds or insurance proceeds from damage to the Project to repair and restore the Project. The
County may, at the County’s option, appeal from any such award in the name of Declarants.

a) Upon execution and delivery by the Declarants, each Declarant shall cause this Declaration and
all amendments and exhibits hereto to be recorded and filed in the official records of the county
recorder's office in the county in which this Project is located and, if applicable, with the
recording office of the appropriate Indian tribe if the Project is located on tribal land, and pay all
fees and charges incurred in conjunction with recording of this Declaration and all addenda or
amendments thereto. Upon recording, each Declarant shall immediately transmit or cause to be
sent directly from the recorder's office to the County an executed original of the recorded

Declaration showing the date, book and page number of recording. Where pertinent, the County
may require Declarants to furnish a condition of title report for the Project prior to or after
recordation of this Declaration.
b) Each Declarant intends, declares and covenants, on behalf of itself and all future Declarants and
operators of the Project and land upon which the Project is constructed that, during the term of
this Declaration, all of the covenants and restrictions set forth in this Declaration regulating and
restricting the use, occupancy and transfer of the Project: (i) shall be and are covenants running
with the Project, encumbering the Project and land upon which the Project sits for the term of this
Declaration, and are binding upon the Declarants' successors in title and all subsequent
Declarants and operators of the Project and the land upon which the Project sits; (ii) are not
merely personal covenants of each Declarant; and, (iii) shall bind each Declarant (and the benefits
shall inure to the County and any past, present, or prospective tenant of a County-Assisted Unit)
and its and their respective successors and assigns during the term of this Declaration.
c) Each Declarant hereby agrees that any and all requirements of the laws of the State of Arizona to
be satisfied in order for the provisions of this Declaration to constitute deed restrictions and
covenants running with the land shall be deemed to be satisfied in full, and that any requirements
or privileges of estate or title are intended to be satisfied hereby, or in the alternative, that an
equitable servitude has been created to ensure that these restrictions will run with the land. For
the longer of the period this credit is claimed or the term of this Declaration, each and every
contract, deed or other instrument hereinafter executed conveying the Project or any portion
thereof shall expressly provide that such conveyance is subject to this Declaration, provided,
however, that the covenants contained herein shall survive and be effective regardless of whether
such contract, deed, or other instrument hereafter executed conveying the Project or any portion
thereof provides that such conveyance is subject to this Declaration.
d) Each Declarant further covenants and agrees to obtain the consent of any prior recorded lien
holder on the Project to this Declaration and the recording thereof, and such consent shall be a
condition precedent to the execution of this Declaration.
14. Subordination. Except for the Permitted Encumbrances identified in the Loan Documents or an Inter
-creditor and Subordination Agreement or similar agreement executed by and between the County
and a Lender, each Declarant warrants that it has not and will not execute any other agreement, lien or
security interest, or otherwise become a party to such an agreement, lien or security interest with
provisions contradictory to, or in opposition to, the provisions of this Declaration, and that in any
event, the requirements of this Declaration are paramount and controlling as to the rights and
obligations herein set forth and supersede the requirements and conflicts contained in any other
agreement. In the event of a conflict between the provisions of this Declaration and the Loan
Documents, the provisions of the Loan Documents shall control.
15. Effect of Other Restrictive Covenants. In the event that the Project is subject to declarations of
restrictive covenants relating to other governmental sources of funding, then the more restrictive
requirements shall apply. Upon the expiration or termination of any such declaration during the term
of this Declaration, the Affordability Period and other requirements of this Declaration shall continue
to apply to any County-Assisted Unit.
16. Amendment. This Declaration may be amended with the prior written approval of the County to
correct factual errors contained herein or to reflect changes in pertinent law, and program
requirements. No amendment to this Declaration may be made without the prior written approval of
the County. Each Declarant hereby expressly agrees to enter into all amendments hereto which, in
the opinion of the County's legal counsel, are reasonably necessary or desirable to correct factual
errors or for maintaining compliance with program requirements.

17. Severability. The invalidity of any clause, part or provision of this Declaration shall not affect the
validity of the remaining portions thereof.
18. Notices. All notices to be given pursuant to this Declaration shall be in writing and shall be deemed
