("Assignor" or "ARI")) and Integrated Living Spaces, Inc. ("Assignee" or "ILSI") and the City of Fort Worth ("City"). (Sometimes ARI, ILSI and City are referred to individually as a"Party" and collectively as the "Parties".) RECITALS A. ARI applied for Capital Advance Financing from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") in accordance with Section 811 of the National Affordable Housing Act of 1990, as amended, (42 USC 8013 et seq.) (the "Section 811 Program") in the amount of FIVE HUNDRED EIGHTY-TWO THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($582,100.00) to assist in the financing of the construction of the Willow Bend Creek Apartments, a multifamily rental housing project for persons with disabilities (the "Project"). B. ARI and City entered into City Secretary Contract No. 33503 (the "Contract") dated May 15 in which City agreed, pursuant to the terms of the Contract, to furnish ARI with CDBG Funds totaling FIFTY FIVE THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($55,000.00) to be used for the development of certain infrastructure necessary for the construction of the Project. The Contract was approved by the City Council in M&C C-21257 on January 19, 2006. C. The Section 811 Program requires that Capital Advance Funding be made only to eligible single-purpose nonprofit organizations, therefore ARI created Integrated Living Spaces, Inc., a Texas non-profit corporation and sole asset entity, for the purpose of owning and managing the Project and the real property on which it is situated for a minimum of forty (40) years. HUD issued a Firm Commitment for Capital Advance Funding to ILSI for the Project. ARI and ILSI have the same Board of Directors. D. Performance of the CDBG National Objective of serving low income citizens must be secured for the five (5) year period required in the Contract by ILSI, as owner of the real property, executing a Note in favor of City in the amount of the CDBG Funds, secured by a subordinate Deed of Trust to be filed against the real property more particularly described in the Contract on which the Project is to be constructed. City's Deed of Trust will be subordinate to the Se financing provided by HUD and subject to all of the special o' P 1b Section 811 Program. E. The City Manager or his or her designee is permitted to amend the Cont�41ii, necessary in order to achieve Project goals provided the amendment is-within-the­ scope of the Project and in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

City and ARI have determined that the Contract shall be assigned to ILSI in order to comply with the requirements of the Section 811 Program and to achieve the Project goals and that such assignment is in compliance with applicable laws and regulations, including applicable City ordinances,policies and procedures, and CDBG Regulations. F. ARI wishes to assign all of its rights and interests and delegate its duties and obligations as such rights, interests, duties and obligations pertain to the Contract and ILSI desires to accept such assignment of rights and interests and assume such delegation of duties and obligations.

Ganske, Sen' r Assistant i Attorney 817-392-7765 � SUBJECT: Assignment of City Secretary Contract No. 33503 With Ability Resources, Inc. Ability Resources Inc. ("ARI") applied for $582,100.00 in Capital Advance Funding from HUD for a Section 811 loan to build the Willow Bend Creek Apartments, a multifamily housing project for persons with disabilities. ARI also applied for $55,000.00 in CDBG funds from the City to make up the shortfall in construction costs. The CDBG funds are to be used for infrastructure. The City Council approved M&C 21257 on January 19, 2006. The contract with ARI was effective May 15, 2006. After Jack Stark, HUD's attorney reviewed all of the documents he decided that he wanted the contract to be between the City and Integrated Living Spaces, Inc., the single asset entity that ARI created to own and operate the project as required by HUD Section 811 requirements. ARI and Integrated Living Spaces have the same Board of Directors. I prepared as Assignment of the contract from ARI to Integrated Living Spaces to satisfy HUD's requirements. This assignment does not violate any CDBG regulations or in any way disadvantage the City or its ability to enforce the CDBG requirements. I have already prepared a Note and subordinate Deed of Trust which will be executed and recorded at closing of the Section 811 loan. ARI remains involved in this project both because Integrated Living Systems is an affiliate, but also because it is the Section 811 sponsor of this project. Please do not hesitate to call me if you have any questions about this. Thank you.
