contrary herein, Lender will not be required to pay any HOME -ARP Funds to Developer during
the period that any such Reimbursement Request is not in compliance with this Contract or the
HOME Regulations or the HOME -ARP Guidance.
11.2.3 In the event of more than 3 instances of uncured default under Sections

11.4 In General.
11.4.1 Subject to Sections 11.1, 11.2 and 11.3, and unless specifically provided
otherwise in this Contract, Developer shall be in default if Developer breaches any term or
condition of this Contract, the Loan Documents, or breaches any term of its loan agreements that
use other funds from Lender or the Fort Worth Housing Finance Corporation related to the Project.
In the event that such a breach remains uncured after 45 calendar days following written notice by

written notice but reasonably required more than 45 calendar days to cure, as determined by both
Parties mutually and in good faith, Lender shall have the right to elect, in Lender's sole discretion,

complete the Required Improvements in accordance with the terms of the Contract or the Loan
Documents. Such termination does not terminate any applicable provisions of this Contract that
have been expressly noted as surviving the term or termination of this Contract. No delay or
omission by Lender in exercising any right or remedy available to it under this Contract shall
impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver or acquiescence in any Developer default.
11.8 Waiver of Breach Not Waiver of Subsequent Breach.
The waiver of a breach of any term, covenant, or condition of this Contract or the Loan
Documents shall not operate as a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any other term,
covenant or condition hereof.

Failure to perform all the Contract terms may result in civil, criminal or administrative
penalties, including, but not limited to those set out in this Contract.

awarded but unpaid to Developer pursuant to this Contract shall be immediately rescinded and
Developer shall have no further right to such funds and any HOME -ARP Funds already paid to
Developer must be repaid to Lender by Developer within 30 calendar days of termination. Failure
to repay such HOME -ARP Funds will result in Lender exercising all legal remedies available to

CONTRACT FOR CAUSE, NEITHER DEVELOPER, NOR ANY AFFILIATES OF
DEVELOPER, SHALL BE CONSIDERED FOR ANY OTHER CITY CONTRACT FOR
HOME -ARP FUNDS FOR A MINIMUM OF 5 YEARS FROM THE DATE OF

Termination for Convenience.
In terminating in accordance with 2 CFR 200, Appendix 11, this Contract may be terminated
in whole or in part only as follows:
11.11.1 By Lender with the consent of Developer in which case the Parties shall agree
upon the termination conditions, including the effective date and in the case of partial termination,
the portion to be terminated; or
11.11.2 By Developer upon written notification to Lender setting forth the reasons for
such termination, the effective date, and in the case of partial termination, the portion to be
terminated. In the case of a partial termination, Lender may terminate the Contract in its entirety
if Lender determines in its sole discretion that the remaining portion of the Contract to be
performed or HOME -ARP Funds to be spent will not accomplish the purposes for which this
Contract was made.
11.12 Dissolution of Developer Terminates Contract.
In the event Developer is dissolved or ceases to exist, this Contract shall terminate, unless,
with City permission, the Contract has been assigned and the Loan assumed by the assignee. In
the event of termination under this Section, all HOME -ARP Funds are subject to repayment as
required herein and/or Lender may exercise all of its remedies under this Contract and the
Loan Documents.
11.13 Reversion of Assets.
Developer acknowledges that in the event this Contract is terminated with or without cause
by either party, all tangible personal property owned by Developer that was acquired or improved
with the HOME -ARP Funds included but not limited to plans, drawings, surveys, renderings,
construction documents and any other real or personal property shall belong to Lender and shall
automatically transfer to Lender or to such assignees as Lender may designate.
12. REPAYMENT OF HOME -ARP FUNDS.
All HOME -ARP Funds are subject to repayment in the event the Project does not meet the
requirements as set out in this Contract or in the HOME Regulations and the HOME -ARP
Guidance. If Developer takes any action that results in Lender being required to repay all or
any portion of the HOME -ARP Funds to HUD, Developer agrees it will reimburse Lender
for the full amount such repayment within 30 days of such notice. If Developer takes any
action that results in Lender receiving a finding from HUD about the Project, whether or
not repayment to HUD is required of Lender, Developer agrees it will pay Lender an
additional 10% of the Loan amount as liquidated damages. Developer acknowledges that
Lender's damages in the event of either repayment to HUD being required or receiving a
finding from HUD are uncertain and would be difficult to ascertain and may include an
impact on Lender's HOME -ARP grant or other Federal grant funds, in addition to a finding
by HUD or a repayment of funds to HUD by Lender; therefore, the Parties agree that
payment under this Section of 10% of the Loan amount by Developer to Lender is liquidated
damages and not a penalty.

Except for Permitted Transfers in accordance with the terms of the Deed of Trust, the Deed

to by City, if ownership or control of Developer materially changes after the date of this Contract,
Lender may, but is not obligated to, terminate this Contract. Lender has 30 days to make such
determination after receipt of notice from Developer of a material ownership change and failure
to make such determination in that time period will constitute a waiver. In the event of termination
under this Section 13, all HOME -ARP Funds awarded but not yet paid to Developer pursuant to
this Contract shall be immediately rescinded and Developer shall have no further right to such
funds, and any HOME -ARP Funds already paid to Developer must be repaid to Lender within 30
days of termination under this Section.

the Department of Insurance or be otherwise eligible and authorized to do business in the state of
Texas. Insurers shall be acceptable to Lender insofar as their financial strength and solvency and

ENVIRONMENTAL MITIGATION ACTION
NEW LEAF COMMUNITY SERVICES
HOME -ARP Funds may be reimbursed for exempt activities; however, HOME -ARP funds will not be
paid, and costs cannot be incurred, until City has conducted and completed an environmental review of
the proposed project site as required. under 24 CFR Part 58. The environmental review may result in a
decision to proceed with, modify, or cancel the project. Further, Developer will not undertake or commit
any funds to physical or choice limiting actions, including property acquisition, demolition, movement,
rehabilitation, conversion, repair or construction until satisfactory completion of environmental review
and receipt by City of an authorization to use grant funds from HUD under 24 CFR Part 58.
Special conditions, procedures, and requirements identified for the project may include and are not limited
to mitigation of any adverse effects identified by the environmental review process. The special conditions,
procedures, and requirements may differ and are subject to approval by Lender and HUD.
Environmental Mitigations are as follows:
Noise Abatement and Control — Noise Control Act of 1972, as amended by the Quiet Communities Act of
1978; 24 CFR Part 51 Subpart B
a. According to BOKA Powell, the project architect, an eight -foot cinderblock wall will be
constructed around both residential buildings that have Normally Unacceptable noise levels.
Phase Engineering, LLC completed a Barrier Performance Analysis to determine the sound
attenuating potential of the planned barriers. The results of this assessment determined the wall
will attenuate at least 7.9 dB, which is sufficient to ensure an exterior noise environment within
HUD's Acceptable noise range.
Lender will provide Developer the executed environmental review record and certifications. Developer
agrees to abide by the special conditions, procedures, and requirements of the executed environmental
review certification approved by HUD.

'`* Workers in this classification may be entitled to a higher
minimum wage under Executive Order 14026 ($16.20) or 13658
($12.15). please see the Note at the top of the wage
determination for more information.
Note: Executive Order (EO) 137e6, Establishing paid Sick Leave
for Federal Contractors applies to all contracts subject to the
Davis -Bacon Act for which the contract is awarded (and any
solicitation was issued) on or after January 1, 2017. If this
contract is covered by the EO, the contractor must provide
employees with 1 hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours
they work, up to 56 hours of paid sick leave each year.
Employees must be permitted to use paid sick leave for their
own illness, injury or other health -related needs, including
preventive care;, to assist a family member (or person who is
like family to the employee) who is ill, injured, or has other
health -related needs, including preventive care; or for reasons
resulting from, or to assist a family member (or person who is
like family to the employee) who is a victim of, domestic
violence, sexual assault, or stalking. Additional information
on contractor requirements and worker protections under the EO
is available at
https://wr,a.dol.gov/agencies/whd/government-contracts.
Unlisted classifications needed for work not included within
the scope of the classifications listed may be added after
award only as provided in the labor standards contract clauses
(29CER 5.5 (a) (1) (ii)).
The body of each wage determination lists the classification
and wage rates that have been found to be prevailing for the
cited type(s) of construction in the area covered by the wage
determination. The classifications are listed in alphabetical
order of -identifiers- that indicate whether the particular
rate is a union rate (current union negotiated rate for local),
a survey rate (weighted average rate) or a union average rate
(weighted union average rate).
Union Rate Identifiers
A four letter classification abbreviation identifier enclosed
in dotted lines beginning with characters other than " SU" or
"UAVG" denotes that the union classification and rate were
prevailing for that classification in the survey. Example:
pLLM0198-005 07/01/2014. pLU1i is an abbreviation identifier of
the union which prevailed in the survey for this
HOME -ARP DEVELOPER RENTAL CONTRACT —EXHIBITS Page 16
New Leaf Community Services — Camp Bowie Apartments Rev. 09.19.2023
classification, which in this example would be Plumbers. 0198
indicates the local union number or district council number
where applicable, i.e., Plumbers Local 10198. The next number,.
005 in the example, is an internal number used in processing
the wage determination. 07/01/2014 is the effective date of the
most current negotiated rate, which in this example is July 1,
2014.
Union prevailing wage rates are updated to reflect all rate
changes in the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) governing
this classification and rate.
Survey Rate Identifiers
Classifications listed under the , SU" identifier indicate that
no one rate prevailed for this classification in the survey and
the published rate is derived by computing a weighted average
rate based on all the rates reported in the survey for that
classification. As this weighted average rate includes all
rates reported in the survey, it may include both union and
non -union rates. Example: SULA2012-007 5/13/2014. SU indicates
the rates are survey rates based an a weighted average
calculation of rates and are not majority rates. LA indicates
the State of Louisiana. 2012 is the year of survey on which
these classifications and rates are based. The next number, 007
in the example, is an internal number used in producing the
wage determination. 5/13/2014 indicates the survey completion
date for the classifications and rates under that identifier.
Survey wage rates are not updated and remain in effect until a
new survey is conducted.
Union Average Rate Identifiers
Classification(s) listed under the UAVG identifier indicate
that no single majority rate prevailed for those
classifications; however, 100% of the data reported for the
classifications was union data. EXAMPLE: UAVG-OH-0010
08/29/2014. UAVG indicates that the rate is a weighted union
average rate. OH indicates the stage. The next number, 0010 in
the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage
determination. 08/29/2014 indicates the survey completion date
for the classifications and rates under that identifier.
A UAVG rate will be updated once a year, usually in January of
each year, to reflect a weighted average of the current
negotiated/CBA rate of the union locals from which the rate is
based.

Partnerships Act at Title II of the Cranston Gonzales National Affordable Housing Act of 1990, as
amended, 42 U.S.C. 12701 et seq. and the HOME Investment Partnerships Program Final Rule, as
amended, 24 CFR Part 92 et seq., is to benefit low- and moderate -income individuals and families by
providing them with affordable housing;
WHEREAS, HUD has issued additional detailed guidance for use of the HOME -ARP funds
through CPD Notice 21-10 dated September 13, 2021, and Memorandum regarding HOME -ARP Waivers
dated September 8, 2021, known as the HOME -ARP Guidance;
WHEREAS, Owner proposes to use HOME funds for a project whereby Owner will construct,
develop, own, and operate a new 48-unit Permanent Supportive Housing project in the City to be known
as Camp Bowie Apartments (the "Project");
WHEREAS, City has agreed to lend, and Owner has agreed to accept, a loan of City HOME -ARP
funds in the amount of $4,028,476.00 (the "Loan"), pursuant to the requirements of the HOME program
in accordance with that certain HOME -ARP Contract, City Secretary Contract No. 59854, between Owner
and City, for the purpose of assisting Owner in developing the Project ("HOME -ARP Contract");
WHEREAS, as a condition to City making the Loan, Owner must agree to comply with certain
occupancy, rent and other restrictions for a period of time in order to comply with the HOME -ARP
Compliance Requirements, and agrees to convey to City certain covenants and restrictions that will burden
the hereinafter described real property so that the Project will meet the HOME -ARP Compliance
Requirements ("HOME -ARP Requirements");
HOME -ARP DEED RESTRICTIONS Page 30
New Leaf Community Services — Camp Bowie Apartments Rev. 09.19.2023
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the making of the Loan by the City and the disbursement
of any part thereof, and in order to comply with the requirements of the Act and the HOME Regulations
and the HOME -ARP Guidance, Owner (together with its successors and assigns and subsequent owners
of the Project), hereby agrees that the following restrictions shall apply to the real property described in
the attached EXHIBIT "A":
1) In compliance with the maximum per unit subsidy amount rules at 24 CFR Part 92.250(a) and
the minimum amount of assistance rules at 24 CFR Part 92.205(c), the number of units in the Project
which have been designated by Owner and approved by the City as subject to all occupancy, rent, and
compliance requirements contained in the HOME Regulations and the HOME -ARP Guidance shall
consist of 31 units of the 48 total residential units in the Project ("HOME -ARP Units")
2) HOME -ARP units will be available to Qualifying Populations or homeless or at -risk persons or
households as defined in detail in HUD CPD Notice 21-10 and HOME -ARP Guidance. Qualifying
Populations include any designated targeted subpopulation of these groups that is eligible to reside in the
Project, including individuals or households that are homeless, chronically homeless, at risk of
homelessness, fleeing or attempting to flee domestic violence, formerly homeless and in need of continued
housing assistance or supportive services, or at greatest risk of housing instability due to extremely low
income and other factors. Chronically Homeless persons or households have been designated as the
primary targeted client subpopulation for the City of Fort Worth HOME -ARP Program and for the Project.
3) Owner hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Project is to be owned, managed and operated
as a rental housing project for affordable housing as set forth in the HOME -ARP Guidance and, that the
HOME -ARP Units must be occupied only by HOME -ARP Eligible Households as defined in the HOME -

for existing housing for comparable area units, or b) rent equal to 30% of the annual income of a
family at 65% of AMI, as established annually by HUD and adjusted for bedroom size. Low
Income Household HOME -ARP Rent is generally equivalent to High HOME Rent under the
HOME Program. If a Low -Income Household received federally funded tenant -based rental
assistance, the rent is the amount that is permissible under the applicable rental assistance program.
4) HOME -ARP Qualifying Population Rent. Owner must verify that the rent amount is not greater
than 30% of the adjusted income of a family whose annual income equals 50% of AMI with adjustment
for the bedroom size of the housing unit. The HOME -ARP Rent for Qualifying Population Households
may not exceed the maximum rent limitations set by HUD minus utility allowances as more particularly
described in Section 7.5.4. Units occupied by Qualifying Population tenants that receive federally funded
rental assistance and contribute no more than 30% of their income in rent may charge the maximum rent
permissible under the applicable rental assistance program.
5) Tenant Income. Owner must verify that Low Income Household Tenants have an annual income
adjusted for family size that does not exceed 80% of AMI set by HUD. Tenant income must be verified
based on 24 CFR 65.609 using the most current HUD Income Guidelines and Technical Guidance for
Determining Income and Allowances subject to the income verification requirements of Section 7.2 of the
HOME -ARP Contract.
HOME -ARP DEED RESTRICTIONS Page 31
New Leaf Community Services — Camp Bowie Apartments Rev. 09.19.2023
a. Tenant Eligibility for Qualifying Populations. Eligibility of Chronically Homeless prospective
tenants shall be documented upon entry to the Project through HMIS with records of length of
time period(s) of homelessness and nature of disability from a qualified service provider as
required by the HOME -ARP Guidance. After admission the qualified population tenant retains
eligibility irrespective of changes in income or whether the household continues to meet the
definition of a Qualifying Population.
b. Preference for Chronically Homeless. Project will implement a preference for Chronically
Homeless tenants for all HOME -ARP -assisted units. Property Manager will ensure that full
documentation of Chronically Homeless status is maintained in tenant files, including
documentation of disability and documentation of length of time(s) tenant was previously
homeless.
6) Tenant Lease and Tenant Selection. Owner's lease for the HOME -ARP Units shall comply
with 24 CFR Part 92.253 as more particularly described in the HOME -ARP Contract. Owner's tenant
selection policy and criteria shall be consistent with the purpose of providing housing in accordance with
the HOME Regulations and HOME -ARP Guidance including addressing nondiscrimination and
affirmative marketing as more particularly set out in the HOME -ARP Contract.
a. Project will maintain a project -specific waiting list for such Low -Income HOME -ARP Units.
This waiting list will at a minimum retain applicant information in chronological order based
on when complete tenant information was received, while to the greatest extent possible
prioritizing families and households currently residing in the City of Fort Worth that meet the
"At Risk of Homelessness" and "At Greatest Risk of Housing Instability" Qualified Population
definitions from the HOME -ARP Guidance. Applicants to the waiting list may not be charged
a fee to be placed on the waiting list.
7) The Project shall be maintained to and fully comply with all City Codes and federal Housing
Quality Standards.
8) The Compliance Period for the Project is 15 years ("Compliance Period") as more particularly
described in the HOME -ARP Contract. The Compliance Period begins on the date that the project status

9) The preceding use restriction and Compliance Period (i) shall run with the land, (ii) shall be
binding upon the Owner and Owner's heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns, and (iii) shall
be enforceable by actions at law or in equity by the City, its successors and assigns and/or one or more
third -party beneficiaries. For the purpose of these Deed Restrictions, a third -party beneficiary shall be any
member of a HOME -ARP Eligible Household as defined in the HOME -ARP Contract. Owner hereby

another party with respect to these Deed Restrictions, the party prevailing in such action shall receive from
the other party and the other party shall pay to the prevailing party, in addition to all other sums which
may be payable to the prevailing party as a result of such action, a reasonable sum for the prevailing party's
attorneys' fees and costs and other expenses of such action or suit.
No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver
thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof, or
the exercise of any other right. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be in addition to all other
rights or remedies provided by law. No modification or waiver of any provision of these Deed
Restrictions, or consent to departure here from, shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the
parties and no such modification, consent, or waiver shall extend beyond the particular case and purpose

The role of permanent supportive housing case managers is to work with the client to ensure housing
stability and access to needed resources as well as work on client -driven goals.
Case management standards ensure consistency and uniformity of service implementation across the
Continuum of Care. Standards also make sure program staff are given the same opportunities for receiving
population -specific training, while also ensuring HUD requirements are being met.
PSH Case Manager Hiring Qualifications
Permanent Supportive Housing Case Managers are required to have a bachelor's degree; a Bachelor's in
Social Work, Psychology, or related Health and Human Services is preferred. At least two years of case

G. WHEREAS, as a material inducement to City waiving the requirement for the P&P Bond, Guarantor has
agreed to guaranty the completion of construction of the Required Improvements according to the terms hereof.
Guarantv
For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the
Guarantor agrees as follows:
1. Guaranty of Obligations.
1.1 Guarantor hereby guarantees the performance by General Contractor under the approved plans and
specifications, the construction contract and the construction contract for the construction of the Required
Improvements ("Construction Documents"). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Guarantor
unconditionally guaranties to City the timely performance of the following obligations: (a) that the Required
Improvements will be constructed in substantial accordance with the Construction Documents, (b) that the
Required Improvements will be completed, lien free, and ready for occupancy, including delivery of any permits,
certificates or governmental approvals required by law, on or before the second anniversary after commencement
of construction (the "Completion Deadline", and (c) all costs of constructing Required Improvements shall be
paid when due, including without limitation all cost overruns that are within the scope of the Construction
Documents (collectively, the "Obligations"), provided that so long as Guarantor performs pursuant to Section
1.1, City shall continue to advance loan proceeds.
1.2 If the Required Improvements are not commenced and completed in the manner required by the
Construction Documents and by the Completion Deadline, or if, prior to the Completion Deadline, construction
of the Required Improvements should cease or be halted prior to completion other than for a reason permitted
under the Construction Documents or for force majeure reasons, and such cessation or halt constitutes a Default
or an Event of Default (as each such term is defined in the Construction Documents), Guarantor shall, promptly
upon demand of City: (a) diligently proceed to complete construction of the Required Improvements at
Guarantor's sole cost and expense, in accordance with the Construction Documents; (b) fully pay and discharge
all claims for labor performed and material and specially fabricated materials furnished in connection with the
construction of the Required Improvements; and (c) release and discharge all mechanic's liens, materialman's
liens and equitable liens or related affidavits or notices that may arise in connection with the renovation of the
Required Improvements provided that so long as Guarantor performs pursuant to Section 1.2, the City shall
continue to advance loan proceeds.
1.3 If Guarantor fails to promptly perform any of the Obligations under this Guaranty, City may:
(a) At City's option, and without any obligation to do so, proceed to perform on behalf of Guarantor any or
all of Guarantor's obligations hereunder and Guarantor shall, upon demand and whether or not the Required
Improvements are actually completed by City, pay to City all reasonable sums expended by City in performing
Guarantor's obligations hereunder, less the loan proceeds to be advanced by City; and
HOME -ARP DEVELOPER RENTAL CONTRACT — EXHIBITS Page 63
New Leaf Community Services — Camp Bowie Apartments Rev. 09.19.2023
(b) From time to time and without first requiring performance by Guarantor or General Contractor, City may
bring any action at law or in equity or both, or commence any appropriate proceeding, to compel Guarantor to
perform its obligations under this Guaranty, and in such event, City shall be entitled to collect from Guarantor
compensation for all loss, cost, damage, injury and expense which it may incur as a direct consequence of
Guarantor's failure to perform the Obligations, less the loan proceeds to be advanced by City, including interest
at the rate of five percent (5%).
1.4 In addition to the foregoing, Guarantor hereby agrees to pay any and all reasonable costs and expenses
(including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs) incurred by City in enforcing any rights or
remedies under this Guaranty. From the time incurred until paid in full to City, all such sums shall bear interest
at the rate of five percent (5%).
1.5 Completion of the Required Improvements free and clear of liens shall be deemed to have occurred upon:
(a) (i) if applicable, City's receipt of a written statement or certificate executed by the architect designated or
shown on the approved plans and specifications certifying, without qualification or exception, based solely on the
architect's obligations for inspection under its contract with Guarantor, that the Required Improvements are
completed, and (ii) City's receipt from Guarantor of all required occupancy permit(s) for all of the Required
Improvements issued by the local government agency having jurisdiction and authority to issue same, and (iii)
the expiration of the statutory period(s) within which valid mechanic's liens, materialman's liens and/or similar
affidavits or notices may be recorded and/or served by reason of the construction of the Required Improvements,
or, alternatively, unless lien waivers have been obtained, (b) City's receipt from Guarantor of valid, unconditional
releases thereof from all persons entitled to record said liens or serve said affidavits or notices; or (c) City's receipt
from Guarantor of such other evidence of lien free completion as City deems satisfactory in its reasonable
discretion.
2. Guaranty to be Absolute. Guarantor expressly agrees that until (a) this Guaranty is released pursuant to
the terms hereof, or (b) the Obligations are paid and performed in full and each and every term, covenant, and
condition of this Guaranty is fully performed, Guarantor shall not be released by or because of
2.1 Any act or event which might otherwise discharge, reduce, limit, or modify Guarantor's obligations under
this Guaranty, other than force majeure provisions under the Construction Documents; or
2.2 Any waiver, extension, modification, forbearance, delay or other act or omission of City, or its failure to
proceed promptly or otherwise as against Guarantor or any security.
Guarantor hereby acknowledges that absent this Section, Guarantor might have a defense to the enforcement of
this Guaranty as a result of one or more of the foregoing acts, omissions, agreements, waivers, or matters. Subject
to the exceptions stated above, Guarantor hereby expressly waives and surrenders any defense to any liability
under this Guaranty based upon any of such acts, omissions, agreements, waivers or matters. It is the purpose and
express intent of Guarantor that Guarantor's obligations under this Guaranty are and shall be absolute,
unconditional, and irrevocable.
3. Guarantor's Waivers. Except as may be prohibited by applicable law, Guarantor waives:
HOME -ARP DEVELOPER RENTAL CONTRACT — EXHIBITS Page 64
New Leaf Community Services — Camp Bowie Apartments Rev. 09.19.2023
3.1. Any defense based on any release, discharge, modification, impairment or limitation arising by operation
of law or from any bankruptcy or other voluntary or involuntary proceeding, in or out of court, for the adjustment
of debtor -creditor relationships, including any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978, as amended
or recodified (the "Bankruptcy Code"), or under any other present or future state or federal law regarding
bankruptcy, reorganization or other relief to debtors (collectively, the "Debtor Relief Law") (any such proceeding
referred to as an "Insolvency Proceeding");
3.2. Any defense based upon any legal disability or other defense of Guarantor or General Contractor, any
other guarantor or other person, or by reason of the cessation or limitation of the liability of Owner or General
Contractor from any cause other than full completion of the Construction Documents;
3.3. Any and all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by City, even though that election
of remedies may destroy Guarantor's rights of subrogation and reimbursement against the principal.
3.4. Any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be
neither larger in amount nor in any other respects more burdensome than that of a principal;
3.5. Presentment, demand, protest and notice of any kind;
3.6. Any right to require City to institute suit or exhaust remedies against Guarantor or General Contractor or
others liable for any of the Obligations;
3.7. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or any other provision hereof, Guarantor further expressly
waives to the extent permitted by law any and all rights and defenses, including without limitation any rights of
subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification and contribution, which might otherwise be available to Guarantor
provided such waiver is solely for the benefit of City and no other party may rely on same; and
3.8. No provision or waiver in this Guaranty shall be construed as limiting the generality of any other provision
or waiver contained in this Guaranty.
4. Revival and Reinstatement. If all or any portion of the Obligations are paid, the obligations of Guarantor
hereunder shall continue and shall remain in full force and effect in the event that all or any part of such payment
is avoided or recovered directly or indirectly as a preference, fraudulent transfer or otherwise under the
Bankruptcy Code or under any other Debtor Relief Law or other similar laws, regardless of (a) any notice of
revocation given by Guarantor prior to such avoidance or recovery, or (b) full performance of all of Obligations.
If City is required to pay, return, or restore to any person any amounts previously paid on any of the Obligations
because of any Insolvency Proceeding, the obligations of Guarantor shall be reinstated and revived and the rights
of City shall continue with regard to such amounts, all as though they had never been paid.
5. Representations, Warranties, and Covenants of Guarantor. Guarantor hereby represents, warrants, and
covenants that:

5.2 Guarantor will derive a material and substantial benefit, directly or indirectly, from the making of this

5.4 After giving effect to this Guaranty, Guarantor is solvent, is not engaged or about to engage in business

has not and will not, without the prior written consent of City, sell, lease, assign, encumber, hypothecate, transfer
or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of Guarantor's assets or any interest therein, other than in the
ordinary course of Guarantor's business.
5.5 Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that Guarantor may be required to pay and perform the Obligations
in full without assistance or support from the General Contractor or any other entity or person.
5.6 Guarantor has reviewed all of the terms and provisions of the Construction Documents and plans and
specifications addressed in Section 1.1, and all other documents evidencing the Obligations.
5.7 Guarantor has established adequate means of obtaining from sources in addition to City, on a continuing
basis, financial and other information pertaining to General Contractor's financial condition, the progress of
renovation of the Required Improvements, and the status of General Contractor's performance of obligations
under the Construction Documents, and City has made no representation to Guarantor as to any such matters.

RESULT OF ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF THE GUARANTOR BEING FALSE,
INCORRECT, INCOMPLETE OR MISLEADING IN ANY MATERIAL RESPECT.

which is a valid and binding obligation of Guarantor. No provision or obligation of Guarantor contained in this
Guaranty violates any applicable law, regulation or ordinance, or any order or ruling of any court or governmental

which Guarantor is a parry. No consent, approval or authorization of or notice to any person or entity is required

waiver shall be construed as a continuing waiver. No waiver shall be implied from City's delay in exercising or
failure to exercise any right or remedy against Guarantor or any security. Consent by the City to any act or
omission by Guarantor shall not be construed as consent to any other or subsequent act or omission, or as a waiver
of the requirement for the City's consent to be obtained in any future or other instance. All remedies of City
against Guarantor are cumulative.
10. Release. Upon full and final performance of the Obligations, Guarantor is released from this Guaranty.
11. Successors and Assigns. The terms of this Guaranty shall bind and benefit the successors, and assigns of

HOME -ARP DEVELOPER RENTAL CONTRACT — EXHIBITS Page 67
New Leaf Community Services — Camp Bowie Apartments Rev. 09.19.2023
14. Enforceability. Guarantor acknowledges that Guarantor has had adequate opportunity to carefully read
this Guaranty and to seek and receive legal advice from skilled legal counsel of Guarantor's choice in the area of
financial transactions of the type contemplated herein prior to signing it. Guarantor hereby acknowledges that:
(a) the obligations undertaken by Guarantor in this Guaranty are complex in nature, and (b) numerous possible
defenses to the enforceability of these obligations may presently exist and/or may arise hereafter. City has
specifically bargained for the waiver and relinquishment by Guarantor of all such defenses. Given all of the above,
Guarantor does hereby represent and confirm to the City that Guarantor,is fully informed regarding, and that
Guarantor does thoroughly understand: (i) the nature of such possible defenses, (ii) the circumstances under which
such defenses may arise, (iii) the benefits which such defenses might confer upon Guarantor, and (iv) the legal
consequences to Guarantor of waiving such defenses. Guarantor acknowledges that Guarantor makes this
Guaranty with the intent that this Guaranty and all of the informed waivers herein shall each and all be fully
enforceable by City, and that City is induced to enter into this transaction in material reliance upon the presumed
full enforceability thereof.
15. Miscellaneous. This Guaranty may be executed in counterparts, and all counterparts shall constitute but
one and the same document. The illegality or unenforceability of one or more provisions of this Guaranty shall
not affect any other provision. Time is of the essence in the performance of this Guaranty by Guarantor.
16. Integration; Modifications. This Guaranty (a) integrates all the terms and conditions mentioned in or
incidental to this Guaranty, (b) supersedes all oral negotiations and prior writings with respect to its subject matter,
and (c) is intended by Guarantor and City as the final expression of the agreement with respect to the terms and
conditions set forth in this Guaranty and as the complete and exclusive statement of the terms agreed to by
Guarantor and City. No representation, understanding, promise or condition shall be enforceable against any party
hereto unless it is contained in this Guaranty. This Guaranty may not be modified except in a writing signed by
both City and Guarantor. No course of prior dealing, usage of trade, parol or extrinsic evidence of any nature shall
be used to supplement, modify or vary any of the terms hereof.

The City of Fort Worth is part of the local Continuum of Care (CoC), and one of the priorities of the
CoC is to address the current level of chronic homelessness. Tarrant County Homeless Coalition
(TCHC) evaluated the homelessness situation in the CoC area, which encompasses Tarrant and

M&C Review
Parker counties, and identified strategies, resources, and the estimated number of new physical units
of PSH needed. In addition to other strategies, TCHC determined one of the greatest needs is for
physical units designated for the chronically homeless.
On December 14, 2021, to help address this need in the City of Fort Worth, Mayor and Council
approved a substantial amendment to the City's 2021-2022 Annual Action Plan for the use of
$10,537,030.00 in HOME -ARP Federal Grant funds to be awarded by the United States Department of
Housing and Urban Development for the purpose of funding the development of PSH (M&C No. 21-
0968) through a competitive Notice of Funding Availability process ("NOFA"). The Fort Worth Housing
Finance Corporation (FWHFC), which had previously set aside $5,000,000.00 for the development of
PSH in the city, allocated $2,550,000.00 of the set -aside funds to be included with the HOME -ARP
funds in the NOFA (Resolution No. FWHFC 2019 07). FWHFC PSH funds require a dollar for dollar
match from private foundations.
These funds were combined with a goal to develop 125 PSH units in the City. On March 8, 2022, the
Neighborhood Services Department (NSD) released the NOFA. However, it was noted that the 125
PSH units was not sufficient to meet the City's need for PSH units.
On April 12, 2022, the City Council allocated an additional $5,000,000.00 of general ARPA funds for
the development of PSH units (M&C 22-0270). This amount was included in the NOFA to be awarded
for PSH development, and the unit goal increased to 165.
Scoring - NSD staff and a philanthropic representative scored the six applications that were
submitted. Based on scores, responsiveness to Minority/Women Business Enterprise (M/WBE)
requirements, and project feasibility, three projects are being recommended by staff for funding. One
project was non -responsive due to failure to meet the M/WBE requirement, and two were found to be
lacking in one or more key areas of evaluation.

By approval of this M&C, the City Council finds that the following actions are necessary to achieve the
vital public purpose of providing decent, safe, and affordable housing to extremely -low-income
residents: (i) providing forgivable loans to the three developments listed above for the development of
PSH units in the City, and (ii) the waiver or deferral of certain related City fees for the New Leaf
Community Services and Presbyterian Night Shelter developments, including all fees charged by the
Development Services Department (waived), park dedication fees (conditionally deferred), and
transportation impact fees, for which a variance was granted by Development Services Department, in
the collective approximate amount of $400,000.00; however the actual amount could vary.
New Leaf Community Presbyterian Night
Services PSH Project Shelter PSH Project
Park Fees (Deferred) $58,824.00 $71,543.00
Transportation Impact Fees $50,832.00 $76,248.00
(Waived)
Estimate of Other Development $54,064.00 $73,929.00'
Services Department fees (Waived)
Total Fees Waived or Deferred $163,720.00 $221,720.00
Staff has reviewed and verified, and Council by approval of this M&C finds, that the waiver or deferral
of the fees is necessary for the financial feasibility of the two identified developments. The City Council
further finds that adequate controls are in place through the loan documents to ensure the public
purpose is carried out. Park fees will be payable in the event the property is transferred to a for -profit
entity and will no longer be operated solely as a PSH housing development. The conditional imposition
of the Park fees will be secured by liens on the properties.
Because of the high priority the City Council has placed on the development as PSH and the fact that
the New Leaf Community Services and Presbyterian Night Shelter of Tarrant County developments will
be operated on a not -for -profit basis, Development Services and Park & Recreation departments
support the deferring or waiving of fees so these projects may be developed. NSD thanks and
recognizes the Development Services and Park & Recreation departments for their commitment to
PSH.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations, funds are
available in the current operating and capital budgets, as appropriated, of the Grants Operating
Federal Fund HOME -ARP and American Rescue Plan Act projects and the General Capital Projects
Fund Development of PSH project. Prior to an expenditure being incurred, the Neighborhood
Services Department has the responsibility of verifying the availability of funds and to ensure that only
expenditures allowed under the ARPA SLFRF, HOME -ARP and Directions Home programs are
charged to these funding sources.
