pursuant to deed restrictions, the terms of the Loan Documents as hereinafter described,
or other mechanism approved by HUD.
Provisions to Secure Affordability.
a. The City's interest in preserving the affordability of the HOME -assisted units will
be secured by a combination of the subordinate Promissory Note and Leasehold
Deed of Trust Security Agreement — Financing Statement described herein, and
the Declaration of Land Use Restrictive Covenants with Use of Tax Credit
Exchange Funds ("LURA") established and enforced by TDHCA for the Low
Income Housing Tax Credits. The TDHCA's LURA shall restrict the Project and
Property to certain occupancy and rent requirements for a period of forty (40)
years. For the first twenty (20) years of the LURA, or the end of the Affordability

regulations regarding the HOME Program and affordability requirements. If
Lincoln Terrace retains ownership of the Project for the full Affordability Period,
no further HOME restrictions by the City will apply.

Period, excluding a transfer due to condemnation, will require the repayment of
any unpaid principal and interest or the new owner or transferee to affirmatively
