RECITALS WHEREAS, on May 7th, 2021, the City entered into an agreement with the Landlord for rental assistance for a named tenant, City Secretary Office (CSO) Contract No. 57377 (the "Agreement"); WHEREAS, the Agreement's initial term was from May 7, 2021 to May 31, 2022 and allowed for annual renewals upon agreement of the Parties; WHEREAS, the Agreement was most recently renewed from May 1, 2023 to April 28, 2024 ("Second Renewal Term"); and WHEREAS, the Parties agree to renew and amend the Agreement as described below. NOW THEREFORE, City and Landlord do hereby agree as follows: I RENEWAL OF AGREEMENT The Parties agree to renew the Agreement for an additional one year -term beginning April 29, 2024 and expiring April 27, 2025 ("Third Renewal Term") unless earlier terminated in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. II AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT The following terms are hereby amended to replace the referenced terms in the Agreement and shall be binding and enforceable as if they were originally included therein. 1. Section 3.1 Security Deposit shall be amended and replaced as follows: 3.1 Security Deposit The Tenant shall pay a security deposit for the Unit to the Landlord in accordance with the Tenant's lease, attached hereto as Exhibit A. The Landlord will hold this security deposit during the period the Tenant occupies the dwelling unit under the Lease. The Landlord shall comply with state and local laws regarding interest payments on security deposits. After the Tenant has moved from the dwelling unit, the Landlord may, subject to state and local law, use the security deposit, including any interest on the deposit, as reimbursement for rent CSC No. 57377- Renewal Three and Amendment Four CoFW and TS ASSET ENCORE LLC OFFICIAL RECORD CITY SECRETARY FT.

The named Tenant may be eligible for security deposit payment assistance payable to Landlord. In the event that the City pays the security deposit for the Unit on behalf of the Tenant under a federally funded program (including the Permanent Housing Placement Program), after deducting the amount used as reimbursement to the Landlord, the Landlord will promptly refund the full amount of the balance to the City in accordance with HUD regulations. This does not limit Landlord's right to withhold any portion of the deposit that would normally be withheld at termination under the terms of the underlying lease. Based upon the City's review, City will pay a $0 security deposit, to be paid directly to the Landlord. The Landlord shall immediately notify the City when the Tenant has moved from the Unit. 2. Section 3.2 Rent and Amounts Payable by City shall be amended and replaced as follows: 3.2 Rent and Amounts Payable by City 3.2.1 Rent.

During the second renewal term, from May 1, 2023 to May 31, 2023 Tenant shall be responsible for $579.00 per month for the Unit. Beginning June 1, 2023 and until the end of the Second Renewal Term, the Tenant shall be responsible for $0.00 per month for the rent.

The named Tenant may be eligible for a utility reimbursement payable to Landlord. The amount of the allowance has been calculated utilizing the Utility Allowance Schedule established by the Tarrant County Housing Assistance Office/Fort Worth Housing Solutions. Based upon the City's review, during the Initial Term, City will pay no more than $0 utility reimbursement per month toward the Tenant's utility payments, to be paid directly to the Landlord. 3.2.3 Payment Conditions. The right of the Landlord to receive payments under this Agreement shall be subject to compliance with all of the provisions of the Agreement. The Landlord's signature on this agreement shall be a certification that: 1. The Unit is in decent, safe and sanitary condition, and that the Landlord is providing the services, maintenance and utilities agreed to in the Lease. 2. The Unit is leased to and occupied by the Tenant named above in this Agreement. 3. The Landlord has not received and will not receive any payments as rent for the Unit other than those identified in this Agreement. 4. To the best of the Landlord's knowledge, the unit is used solely as the Tenant's principal place of residence. 3.2.4 Method of Payment. Payments made electronically (i.e.- the City's Automated Clearing House network) provide more protection against theft and fraud and can be processed more quickly by the City. If Landlord registers to be paid under this Agreement electronically, City payments will generally be made on or about the first day of the month for which the payment is due. Payments for the first month may be somewhat delayed as a result of the registration and initial set-up process. If Landlord requests payment under this Agreement by paper check, City payments will be made as promptly as possible following the first day of the month for which payment is due. If Landlord request payment by check, Landlord assumes all liabilities related to theft, fraud, and late payments. If Landlord elects to receive electronic payments, Landlord will not assess any late fee against Tenant or City for late payments by City so long as payments are made within thirty (30) days of the day payment is due. If Landlord elects to receive payment by paper check, under no circumstances shall late fees be assessed against Tenant or City for late payment by the City. 3.2.5 Overpayments. If the City determines that the Landlord is not entitled to any payments received, in addition to other remedies the City may deduct the amount of the overpayment from any amounts due the Landlord, including the amounts due under any other Rental Assistance Agreement.

WORTH, TX FLOOD DISCLOSURE NOTICE In accordance with Texas law, we are providing the following flood disclosure: • We O are or O are not aware that the unit you are renting is located in a 100-year floodplain. If neither box is checked, you should assume the unit is in a 100-year floodplain. Even if the unit is not in a 100-year floodplain, the unit may still be susceptible to flooding. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) maintains a flood map on its Internet website that is searchable by address, at no cost, to determine if a unit is located in a flood hazard area. Most renter's insurance policies do not cover damages or loss incurred in a flood. You should seek insurance coverage that would cover losses caused by a flood. • We O are or O are not aware that the unit you are renting has flooded (per the statutory definition below) at least once within the last five years. As defined in Texas Property Code 92.0135(a)(2), "flooding" means "a general or temporary condition of a partial or complete inundation of a dwelling caused by: (A) the overflow of inland or tidal waters; (B) the unusual and rapid accumulation of runoff or surface waters from any established water source such as a river, stream, or drainage ditch; or (C) excessive rainfall."

No. in the Apartments in Texas OR the house, duplex, etc. located at (street address) in , Texas. The terms of this addendum will control if the term of the Lease and this addendum conflict. 2. Required Insurance Policy. In accordance with the Lease, you understand and agree that this addendum requires Resident, at Resident's sole expense, to buy and maintain a liability insurance policy during the entire Lease term and any renewal periods that provides limits of liability to third parties in amount not less than $ 100000.00 per occurrence. The liability insurance policy Resident buys and maintains must cover the actions or inactions of Resident and your occupants and guests, and be issued or underwritten by a carrier of your choice licensed to do business in Texas. The required insurance policy must identify the Owner identified in the Lease (or another entity designated by Owner) as an "Interested Party" or "Party of Interest" that will be notified by the insurer of any cancellation, non - renewal, or material change in your coverage no later than 30 days after such action. You must provide us written proof of compliance with the Lease and this addendum on or prior to the Lease commencement date; and if you do not you will not be granted possession of the Premises. You must also provide us written proof of compliance within 7 days of our written request at any other time we request it. 3. Acknowledgement. You acknowledge that Owner does not acquire or maintain insurance for Resident's benefit or which is designed to insure you for personal injury, loss or damage to your personal property or belongings, or your own liability for injury, loss or damage that you (or your occupants or guests) may cause others. Any insurance policy that insures you for personal injury, loss or damage to your personal property or belongings, or provide you coverage for your own liability for injury, loss or damage that you (or your occupants or guests) may cause others must be bought and maintained solely by you. We do not and are not able to provide you with information on insurance coverage, rates, or terms and conditions. You should instead seek such information from a licensed insurance company, licensed insurance agent, other licensed insurance professional, or the Texas Department of Insurance. The Texas Department of Insurance website at www.tdi.texas.gov may contain useful consumer information regarding renter's insurance. You further acknowledge that we have made no referrals, guarantees, representations or promises whatsoever concerning any insurance or services provided by any insurance company. At all times you have been and remain free to contract for the required insurance with the insurance carrier of your choosing. 4. Default. You understand and agree that your failure to comply with either the requirements specified in the Lease, this addendum, or both is a material breach by you of the Lease and a default of the Lease for which Owner may sue you for eviction. If you fail to buy and maintain insurance as required by the Lease and this addendum, we may, in our sole discretion, agree to refrain from filing an eviction against you for your default for not having the appropriate insurance in place upon payment by you to Owner of $ 150.00 (which you agree is not a liquidated damages amount and which sum shall only apply to each month (or part thereof) you remain in breach of this insurance addendum). Owner will agree to forego commencement of an eviction based upon non-compliance with this addendum for a one -month period, during which you shall come into compliance with this addendum. Our choice to accept money from you to forego pursuit of an eviction for one month does not require us to accept money from you or forego pursuit of our remedies under this paragraph for any subsequent months. The foregoing payments are due on the 1st day of the month following the calendar month (or part thereof) during which you do not have the required insurance, with no grace period. PAYMENT OF SAID AMOUNT DOES NOT RELIEVE YOU OF YOUR OBLIGATION TO BUY AND MAINTAIN INSURANCE AS SUMMARIZED IN PARAGRAPH 2 OF THIS ADDENDUM, DOES NOT CURE THE MATERIAL BREACH AND DEFAULT DESCRIBED IN THIS PARAGRAPH, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, AND DOES NOT RELIEVE YOU OF ANY OBLIGATION TO COMPENSATE US OR ANY OTHER PARTY INJURED OR DAMAGED BY THE ACTIONS OR INACTIONS OF RESIDENT OR YOUR OCCUPANTS OR GUESTS. You further understand that we will not buy an insurance policy for you or for your benefit, and that nothing in this Lease shall be considered an agreement by Owner to furnish you with any insurance coverage. NOTICE TO RESIDENT: YOU SHOULD BE AWARE THAT THE REQUIRED INSURANCE POLICY UNDER THIS ADDENDUM DOES NOT PROTECT YOU AGAINST LOSS OR DAMAGE TO YOUR PERSONAL PROPERTY OR BELONGINGS. YOU ARE STRONGLY ENCOURAGED TO BUY INSURANCE THAT COVERS YOU AND YOUR PROPERTY.

These damages are uncertain and hard to ascertain —particularly those relating to inconvenience, paperwork, advertising, showing apartments, utilities for showing, checking pros- pects, overhead, marketing costs, and locator -service fees. You agree that the reletting charge is a reasonable estimate of our damages and that the charge is due whether or not our reletting attempts succeed. 7.2. Early Lease Termination Option Procedure. In addition to your termination rights referred to in 7.3 or 8.1 below, if this provision applies under Lease Details, you may opt to terminate this Lease prior to the end of the Lease term if all of the following occur: (a) as outlined in Lease Details, you give us written notice of early termination, pay the Early Termina- tion Option fee in full and specify the date by which you'll move out; (b) you are not in default at any time and do not hold over; and (c) you repay all rent concessions, credits or discounts you received during the Lease term.

This Lease will remain in force subject to (1) abatement of Rent on a daily basis during delay, and (2) your right to terminate this Lease in writing as set forth below. Rent abatement and Lease termination do not apply if the delay is for cleaning or re- pairs that don't prevent you from moving into the apartment. 8.1. Termination. If we give written notice to you of a delay in occupancy when or after this Lease begins, you may termi- nate this Lease within 3 days after you receive written notice. If we give you written notice before the date this Lease begins and the notice states that a construction or other delay is expected and that the apartment will be ready for you to occupy on a specific date, you may terminate this Lease within 7 days after receiving written notice. After proper termination, you are entitled only to refund of any deposit(s) and any Rent you paid. Page 2 of 6 9. Care of Unit and Damages.

You must notify us within 15 days if you or any of your occupants: (A) are convicted of any felony, (B) are convicted of any misdemeanor involving a controlled substance, violence to another person, or destruction of property, or (C) register as a sex offender. Informing us of a criminal conviction or sex -offender registration doesn't waive any rights we may have against you. 10.5. Odors, Noise and Construction. You agree that odors and smells (including those related to cooking), everyday noises or sounds related to repair, renovation, improvement, or construction in or around the property are all a normal part of a multifamily living environment and that it is impractical for us to prevent them from penetrating your apartment. 11.

If we allow an animal, you must sign a separate Animal Addendum and, except as set forth in the ad- dendum, pay an animal deposit and applicable fees and additional monthly rent, as applicable. An animal deposit is considered a gener- al security deposit.

Feeding stray, feral or wild animals isa breach of this Lease. 12.1. Removal of Unauthorized Animal.

If an animal has been in the apartment at anytime during your term of occupancy (with or without our consent), we'll charge you for all cleaning and repair costs, including defleaing, deodorizing, and shampooing. Initial and daily animal -violation charges and animal -removal charges are liquidated damages for our time, inconvenience, and overhead in enforcing animal restrictions and Community Policies. 13.

If nobody is in the apartment, then any such person may enter peace- fully and at reasonable times (by breaking a window or other means when necessary) for reasonable business purposes if written notice of the entry is left in a conspicuous place in the apartment immediately after the entry.

Inc Page 3 of 6 111 Blue Moon eSignature Services Document ID: 424460641 15. Requests, Repairs and Malfunctions. 15.1. Written Requests Required. If you or any occupant needs to send a request —for example, for repairs, installations, services, ownership disclosure, or security -related matters — it must be written and delivered to our designated representative in accordance with this Lease (except for fair -housing accommodation or modification requests or situations involving imminent danger or threats to health or safety, such as fire, smoke, gas, explosion, or crime in progress). Our written notes regarding your oral request do not constitute a written request from you. Our complying with or responding to any oral request doesn't waive the strict requirement for written notices under this Lease. A request for maintenance or repair by anyone residing in your apartment constitutes a request from all residents. The time, manner, method and means of performing maintenance and repairs, including whether or which vendors to use, are within our sole discretion. 15.2. Your Requirement to Notify. You must promptly notify us in writing of air conditioning or heating problems, water leaks or moisture, mold, electrical problems, malfunctioning lights, broken or missing locks or latches, or any other condition that poses a hazard or threat to property, health, or safety. Unless we instruct otherwise, you are required to keep the apartment cooled or heated according to this Lease. Air conditioning problems are normally not emergencies. 15.3. Utilities. We may change or install utility lines or equipment serving the apartment if the work is done reasonably without substantially increasing your utility costs. We may turn off equipment and interrupt utilities as needed to perform work or to avoid property damage or other emergencies. If utilities malfunction or are damaged by fire, water, or similar cause, you must notify our representative immediately. 15.4. Your Remedies. We'II act with customary diligence to make repairs and reconnections within a reasonable time, taking into consideration when casualty -insurance proceeds are received. Unless required by statute after a casualty loss, or during equipment repair, your Rent will not abate in whole or in part. "Reasonable time" accounts for the severity and nature of the problem and the reasonable availability of materials, labor, and utilities. If we fail to timely repair a condition that materially affects the physical health or safety of an ordinary resident as required by the Texas Property Code, you maybe entitled to exercise remedies under § 92.056 and § 92.0561 of the Texas Property Code. If you follow the procedures under those sections, the following remedies, among others, maybe available to you: (1) termination of this Lease and an appropriate refund under 92.056(f); (2) have the condition repaired or remedied according to § 92.0561; (3) deduct from the Rent the cost of the repair or remedy according to § 92.0561; and 4) judicial remedies according to § 92.0563. 16. Our Right to Terminate for Apartment Community Damage or Closure. If, in our sole judgment, damages to the unit or building are significant or performance of needed repairs poses a danger to you, we may terminate this Lease and your right to possession by giving you at least 7 days' written notice. If termination occurs, you agree we'll refund only prorated rent and all deposits, minus lawful deduc- tions. We may remove and dispose of your personal property if, in our sole judgment, it causes a health or safety hazard or impedes our ability to make repairs. 16.1. Property Closure. We also have the right to terminate this Lease and your right to possession by giving you at least 30 days' written notice of termination if we are demolishing your apartment or dosing it and it will no longer be used for residential purposes for at least 6 months, or if any part of the property becomes subject to an eminent domain proceeding. 17.

You agree that you won't rent, offer to rent or license all or any part of your apartment to anyone else unless other- wise agreed to in advance by us in writing. You agree that you won't accept anything of value from anyone else for the use of any part of your apartment. You agree not to list any part of your apartment on any lodging or short-term rental website or with any person or ser- vice that advertises dwellings for rent. 18. Security and Safety Devices. We'll pay for missing security de- vices that are required by law. You'II pay for: (A) rekeying that you request (unless we failed to rekey after the previous resi- dent moved out); and (B) repairs or replacements because of misuse or damage by you or your family, your occupants, or your quests. You must pay immediately after the work is done unless state law authorizes advance payment. You must also pay in advance for any additional or changed security devices you request. Texas Property Code secs. 92.151, 92.153, and 92.154 require, with some exceptions, that we provide at no cost to you when occupancy begins: (A) a window latch on each window; (8) a doorviewer (peep- hole or window) on each exterior door; (C) a pin lock on each sliding door; (D) either a door -handle latch or a security baron each sliding door; (E) a keyless bolting device (deadbolt) on each exterior door; and (F) either a keyed doorknob lock or a keyed deadbolt lock on one entry door.

If we fail to in- stall or rekey security devices as required bylaw, you have the right to do so and deduct the reasonable cost from your next Rent pay- ment under Texas Property Code sec. 92.165(1). We may deactivate or not install keyless bolting devices on your doors if (A) you or an occupant in the dwelling is over55 or disabled, and (8) the require- ments of Texas Property Code sec. 92.153(e) or (f) are satisfied. 18.1.

You agree that you will not rely upon any security measures taken by us for personal security, and that you will call 911 and local law enforcement authorities if any security needs arise. You acknowledge that we are not equipped or trained to provide personal security services to you, your guests or occupants. You rec- ognize that we are not required to provide any private security ser- vices and that no security devices or measures on the property are fail-safe.

You agree that after completion of the form or within 48 hours after move -in, whichever comes first, you must note on the form all defects or damage, sign the form, return it to us, and the form accurately reflects the condition of the premises for purposes of determining any refund due to you when you move out. Otherwise, everything will be considered to be in a clean, safe, and good working condition. You must still send a separate request for any repairs needed as provided by Par. 15.1. 20.2. Standards and Improvements. Unless authorized by law or by us in writing, you must not perform any repairs, painting, wallpapering, carpeting, electrical changes, or otherwise alter our property.

Eviction. If you default including holding over, we may end your right of occupancy by giving you at least a 24- hour written notice to vacate. Termination of your possession rights doesn't release you from liability for future Rent or other Lease obligations. After giving notice to vacate or filing an eviction suit, wemaystillacceptRentorother sums due; the filing or acceptance doesn't waive or diminish our right of eviction or any other contractual or statutory right. Accepting money at any time doesn't waive our right to damages, to past or future Rent or other sums, or to our continuing with eviction proceedings. In an eviction, Rent is owed for the full rental period and will not be prorated. 23.3. Acceleration. Unless we elect not to accelerate Rent, all monthly Rent for the rest of the Lease term or renewal period will be accelerated automatically without notice or demand (before or after acceleration) and will be immediately due if, without our written consent: (A) you move out, remove property in preparing to move out, or you or any occupant gives oral or written notice of intent to move out before the Lease term or renewal period ends; and (B) you haven't paid all Rent for the entire Lease term or renewal period. Remaining Rent will also be accelerated if you're judicially evicted or move out when we demand because you've defaulted. If you don't pay the first month's Rent when or before this Lease begins, all future Rent for the Lease term will be automatically accelerated without notice and become immediately due. We also may end your right of occupancy and recover damages, future Rent, attorney's fees, court costs, and other lawful charges. 23.4. Holdover. You and all occupants must vacate and surrender the apartment by or before the date contained in: (1) your move -out notice (2) our notice to vacate, (3) our notice of non -renewal, or (4) a written agreement specifying a different move -out date. If a holdover occurs, then you'll be liable to us for all Rent for the full term of the previously signed lease of a new resident who can't occupy because of the holdover, and at our option, we may extend the Lease term and/or increase the Rent by 25% by delivering written notice to you or your apartment while you continue to hold over. 23.5. Other Remedies. We may report unpaid amounts to credit agencies as allowed by law. If we or our debt collector tries to collect any money you owe us, you agree that we or the debt collector may contact you by any legal means. If you default, you will pay us, in addition to other sums due, any rental discounts or concessions agreed to in writing that have been applied to your account. We may recover attorney's fees in connection with enforcing our rights under this Lease. All unpaid amounts you owe bear interest at the rate provided by Texas Finance Code Section 304.003(c) from the due date. You must pay all collection - agency fees if you fail to pay sums due within 10 days after you are mailed a letter demanding payment and stating that collection -agency fees will be added if you don't pay all sums by that deadline.

No action or omission by us will be considered a waiver of our rights or of any subsequent violation, default, or time or place of performance. Our choice to enforce, not enforce or delay enforcement of written -no- tice requirements, rental due dates, acceleration, liens, oranyother rights isn'ta waiver under any circumstances. Delay in demanding sums you owe is not a waiver. Except when notice or demand is required by law, you waive any notice and demand for performance from us ifyou default. Nothing in this Lease constitutes a waiver of our remedies for a breach under your prior lease that occurred before the Lease term begins. Your Lease is subordinate to existing and future recorded mortgages, un- less the owner's lender chooses otherwise. All remedies are cumulative. Exercising one remedy won't constitute an election or waiver of other remedies. All provisions regarding our nonliability or nonduty apply to our employees, agents, and manage- ment companies. No employee, agent, or management company is personally liable for any of our contractual, statutory, or other obliga- tions merely by virtue of acting on our behalf. END OF THE LEASE TERM 25.

To help achieve this goal, it is important that we work together to minimize any mold growth in your dwelling.

This is an addendum between the Residents and Owner as described in the Lease for the dwelling described below: (name of apartments) or other dwelling located at (street address of house, duplex, etc.) City/State/Zip where dwelling is located: 2. About Mold. Mold is found everywhere in our environment, both indoors and outdoors and in both new and old structures. To avoid mold growth, it's important to prevent excess moisture buildup in your dwelling. Promptly notify us in writing about any air-condi- tioning or heating -system problems and any signs of water leaks, water infiltration or mold. We will respond in accordance with state law and the Lease to repair or remedy the situation. If small areas of mold have already accumulated on nonporous surfaces (such as ceramic tile, formica, vinyl flooring, metal, wood, or plastic), the Environmental Protection Agency recommends that you first dean the areas with soap (or detergent) and water and let the surface dry thoroughly. When the surface is dry —and within 24 hours of cleaning —apply a premixed spray -on household biocide. Do not clean or apply biocides to visible mold on porous sur- faces such as sheetrock walls or ceilings or to large areas of visible mold on nonporous surfaces. Instead, notify us in writing and we will take appropriate action to comply with Section 92.051 et seq. of the Texas Property Code, subject to the special exceptions for natu- ral disasters. If you fail to comply with this addendum, you can be held respon- sible for property damage to the dwelling and any health problems that may result. This Addendum is part of your Lease.

Security Guidelines. We disclaim any express or implied warranties of security. We care about your safety and that of other occupants and guests. No security system is failsafe. Even the best system can't prevent crime. Always act as if security systems don't exist since they are subject to malfunction, tampering, and human error. The best safety measures are the ones you perform as a matter of common sense and habit. Inform all other occupants in your dwelling, including any children you may have, about these guidelines. We recommend that all residents and occupants use common sense and follow crime prevention tips, such as those listed below: • In case of emergency, call 911. Always report emergencies to authorities first and then contact the management. • Report any suspicious activity to the police first, and then follow up with a written notice to us. • Know your neighbors.

Use the keyless deadbolt on your unit when you are at home. Don't put your name or address on your key ring or hide extra keys in obvious places, like under a flower pot. If you lose a key or have concerns about key safety, we will rekey your locks at your expense, in accordance with paragraph 11 of the Lease. Check the door viewer before answering the door.

TAA Official Statewide Form 15-Y, Revised January, 2015. Copyright 2015,Texas Apartment Association, Inc. Vi Blue Moon eSignature Services Document ID: 424460641 LEASE ADDENDUM FOR ALLOCATING WATER/WASTEWATER COSTS i. Texas. The terms of this addendum will control if the terms of the Lease and this addendum conflict. 2. Reason for allocation. When water and wastewater bills are paid 100 percent by the property owner, residents have no incentive to conserve water. This results in a waste of our state's natural resources and adds to the overhead of the property —and that usually means higher rents. Allocation of water bills saves money for residents because it encourages them to conserve water and wastewater. We as owners also have incentive to conserve because we are required by law to pay a portion of the total water bill(s) for the entire apartment community. 3. Your payment due date. Payment of your allocated water/wastewater bill is due 16 days after the date it is postmarked or hand delivered to your apartment. You agree to mail or deliver payment to the place indicated on your bill so that payment is received no later than the due date. You will pay a late charge of 5 percent of your water/wastewater bill if we don't receive timely payment. If you are late in paying the water bill, we may not cut off your water; but we may immediately exercise all other lawful remedies, including eviction —just like late payment of rent. 4. Allocation procedures. Your monthly rent under the TAA Lease Contract does not include a charge for water and wastewater. Instead, you will be receiving a separate bill from us each month for such utilities. We may include this item as a separate and distinct charge as part of a multi -item bill. We will allocate the monthly mastermeter water/wastewater bill(s) for the apartment community, based on an allocation method approved by the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUC) and described below. The allocation method that we will use in calculating your bill is noted below and described in the following subdivision of Section 24.281 of the PUC rules (check only one): ❑ subdivision (i) actual occupancy; ❑ subdivision (ii) ratio occupancy (PUC average for number of occupants in unit); ❑ subdivision (iii)average occupancy (PUC average for number of bedrooms in unit); x❑ subdivision (iv)combination of actual occupancy and square feet of the apartment; or ❑ subdivision (v) submetered hot/cold water, ratio to total. The normal date on which the utility company sends its monthly bill to us for the water/wastewater mastermeter is about the 18 day of the month. Within 10 days thereafter, we will try to allocate that mastermeter bill among our residents by allocated billings. S. Common area deduction. We will calculate your allocated share of the mastermetered water/wastewater bill according to PUC rules. Before calculating your portion of the bill, we will deduct for irrigation of landscaping and all other common area uses, as required by PUC rules. We will also deduct for any utility company base charges and customer service charges so that you won't be paying any part of such charges for vacant units. No administrative or other fees will be added to the total mastermeter water/wastewater bill(s) to be allocated unless expressly allowed by PUC rules. No other amounts will be included in the bill except your unpaid balances and any late fees you incur. If we fail to pay our mastermeter bill to the utility company on time and incur penalties or interest, no portion of such amounts will be included in your bill. 6. Change of allocation formula. The above allocation formula for determining your share of the mastermetered water/ wastewater bill cannot be changed except as follows: (1) the new formula is one approved by the PUC; (2) you receive notice of the new formula at least 35 days before it takes effect; and (3) you agree to the change in a signed lease renewal or signed mutual agreement. 7. Previous average. As required under PUC rules, you are notified that the average monthly bill for all dwelling units in the previous calendar year was $ 66.17 per unit, varying from $ 7.38 to $ 313.89 for the lowest to highest month's bills for any unit in the apartment community for this period, if such information is available. The above amounts do not reflect future changes in utility company water rates, weather variations, total water consumption, residents' water consumption habits, etc. 8. Right to examine records. During regular weekday office hours, you may examine: (1) our water/wastewater bills from the utility company; (2) our calculations of your monthly allocations; and (3) any other information available to you under PUC rules.

In accordance with PUC rules, a copy of the applicable rules is provided to you below: SUBCHAPTER I: WATER UTILITY SUBMETERING AND ALLOCATION § 24.275. General Rules and Definitions (a) Purpose and scope. The provisions of this subchapter are intended to establish a comprehensive regulatory system to assure that the practices involving submetered and allocated billing of dwelling units and multiple use facilities for water and sewer utility service are just and reasonable and include appropriate safeguards for tenants. (b) Application. The provisions of this subchapter apply to apartment houses, condominiums, multiple use facilities, and manufactured home rental communities billing for water and wastewater utility service on a submetered or allocated basis. The provisions of this subchapter do not limit the authority of an owner, operator, or manager of an apartment house, manufactured home rental community, or multiple use facility to charge, bill for, or collect rent, an assessment, an administrative fee, a fee relating to upkeep or management of chilled water, boiler, heating, ventilation, air conditioning, or other building system, or any other amount that is unrelated to water and sewer utility service costs.

Rental Agreement (a) Rental agreement content. The rental agreement between the owner and tenant shall clearly state in writing: (1) the tenant will be billed by the owner for submetered or allocated utility services, whichever is applicable; (2) which utility services will be included in the bit issued by the owner; (3) any disputes relating to the computation of the tenant's bill or the accuracy of any submetering device wit be between the tenant and the owner; (4) the average monthly bit for all dwelling units in the previous calendar year and the highest and lowest month's bits for that period; (5) if not submetered, a clear description of the formula used to allocate utility services; (6) information regarding billing such as meter reading dates, billing dates, and due dates; (7) the period of time by which owner will repair leaks in the tenant's unit and in common areas, if common areas are not submetered; (8) the tenant has the right to receive information from the owner to verify the utility bill; and (9) for manufactured home rental communities and apartment houses, the service charge percentage permitted under §24.281(d)(3) of this title (relating to Charges and Calculations) that will be billed to tenants. (b) Requirement to provide rules. At the time a rental agreement is discussed, the owner shall provide a copy of this subchapter or a copy of the rules to the tenant to inform the tenant of his rights and the owner's responsibilities under this subchapter. (c) Tenant agreement to billing method changes. An owner shall not change the method by which a tenant is billed unless the tenant has agreed to the change by signing a lease or other written agreement. The owner shall provide notice of the proposed change at least 35 days prior to implementing the new method. (d) Change from submetered to allocated billing. An owner shall not change from submetered billing to allocated billing, except after receiving written approval from the commission after a demonstration of good cause and if the rental agreement requirements under subsections (a), (b), and (c) of this section have been met. Good cause may include: (1) equipment failures; or (2) meter reading or billing problems that could not feasibly be corrected. (e) Waiver of tenant rights prohibited. A rental agreement provision that purports to waive a tenant's rights or an owner's responsibilities under this subchapter is void. § 24.281. Charges and Calculations (a) Prohibited charges. Charges billed to tenants for submetered or allocated utility service may only include bills for water or wastewater from the retail public utility and must not include any fees billed to the owner by the retail public utility for any deposit, disconnect, reconnect, late payment, or other similar fees. (b) Dwelling unit base charge. If the retail public utility's rate structure includes a dwelling unit base charge, the owner shall bill each dwelling unit for the base charge applicable to that unit. The owner may not bill tenants for any dwelling unit base charges applicable to unoccupied dwelling units. (c) Customer service charge. If the retail public utility's rate structure includes a customer service charge, the owner shall bill each dwelling unit the amount of the customer service charge divided by the total number of dwelling units, including vacant units, that can receive service through the master meter serving the tenants. (d) Calculations for submetered utility service. The tenant's submetered charges must include the dwelling unit base charge and customer service charge, if applicable, and the gallonage charge and must be calculated each month as follows: (1) water utility service: the retail public utility's total monthly charges for water service (less dwelling unit base charges or customer service charges, if applicable), divided by the total monthly water consumption measured by the retail public utility to obtain an average water cost per gallon, liter, or cubic foot, multiplied by the tenant's monthly consumption or the volumetric rate charged by the retail public utility to the owner multiplied by the tenant's monthly water consumption; (2) wastewater utility service: the retail public utility's total monthly charges for wastewater service (less dwelling unit base charges or customer service charges, if applicable), divided by the total monthly water consumption measured by the retail public utility, multiplied by the tenant's monthly consumption or the volumetric wastewater rate charged by the retail public utility to the owner multiplied by the tenant's monthly water consumption; (3) service charge for manufactured home rental community or the owner or manager of apartment house: a manufactured home rental community or apartment house may charge a service charge in an amount not to exceed 9% of the tenant's charge for submetered water and wastewater service, except when; (A) the resident resides in a unit of an apartment house that has received an allocation of low income housing tax credits under Texas Government Code, Chapter 2306, Subchapter DD; or (B) the apartment resident receives tenant -based voucher assistance under United States Housing Act of 1937 Section 8, (42 United States Code, §1437f); and (4) final bill on move -out for submetered service: if a tenant moves out during a billing period, the owner may calculate a final bill for the tenant before the owner receives the bill for that period from the retail public utility. If the owner is billing using the average water or wastewater cost per gallon, liter, or cubic foot as described in paragraph (1) of this subsection, the owner may calculate the tenant's bill by calculating the tenant's average volumetric rate for the last three months and multiplying that average volumetric rate by the tenant's consumption for the biting period. (e) Calculations for allocated utility service. (1) Before an owner may allocate the retail public utility's master meter bill for water and sewer service to the tenants, the owner shall first deduct: (A) dwelling unit base charges or customer service charge, if applicable; and (B) common area usage such as installed landscape irrigation systems, pools, and laundry rooms, if any, as follows: (i) if all common areas are separately metered or submetered, deduct the actual common area usage; (ii) if common areas that are served through the master meter that provides water to the dwelling units are not separately metered or submetered and there is an installed landscape irrigation system, deduct at least 25% of the retail public utility's master meter bill; (iii) if all water used for an installed landscape irrigation system is metered or submetered and there are other common areas such as pools or laundry rooms that are not metered or submetered, deduct at least 5% of the retail public utility's master meter bill; or (iv) if common areas that are served through the master meter that provides water to the dwelling units are not separately metered or 4' Blue Moon eSignature Services Document ID: 424460641 submetered and there is no installed landscape irrigation system, deduct at least 5% of the retail public utility's master meter bill. (2) To calculate a tenant's bill: (A) for an apartment house, the owner shall multiply the amount established in paragraph (1) of this subsection by: (i) the number of occupants in the tenant's dwelling unit divided by the total number of occupants in all dwelling units at the beginning of the month for which bills are being rendered; or (ii) the number of occupants in the tenant's dwelling unit using a ratio occupancy formula divided by the total number of occupants in all dwelling units at the beginning of the retail public utility's billing period using the same ratio occupancy formula to determine the total. The ratio occupancy formula will reflect what the owner believes more accurately represents the water use in units that are occupied by multiple tenants. The ratio occupancy formula that is used must assign a fractional portion per tenant of no less than that on the following scale: (I) dwelling unit with one occupant = 1; (II) dwelling unit with two occupants = 1.6; (III) dwelling unit with three occupants = 2.2; or (IV) dwelling unit with more than three occupants = 2.2 + 0.4 per each additional occupant over three; or (iii) the average number of occupants per bedroom, which shall be determined by the following occupancy formula. The formula must calculate the average number of occupants in all dwelling units based on the number of bedrooms in the dwelling unit according to the scale below, notwithstanding the actual number of occupants in each of the dwelling units bedrooms or all dwelling units: (I) dwelling unit with an efficiency = 1; (II) dwelling unit with one bedroom = 1.6; (III) dwelling unit with two bedrooms = 2.8; (IV) dwelling unit with three bedrooms = 4 + 1.2 for each additional bedroom; or (iv) a factor using a combination of square footage and occupancy in which no more than 50% is based on square footage. The square footage portion must be based on the total square footage living area of the dwelling unit as a percentage of the total square footage living area of all dwelling units of the apartment house; or (v) the individually submetered hot or cold water usage of the tenants dwelling unit divided by all submetered hot or cold water usage in all dwelling units; (B) a condominium manager shall multiply the amount established in paragraph (1) of this subsection by any of the factors under subparagraph (A) of this paragraph or may follow the methods outlined in the condominium contract; (C) for a manufactured home rental community, the owner shall multiply the amount established in paragraph (1) of this subsection by: (i) any of the factors developed under subparagraph (A) of this paragraph; or (ii) the area of the individual rental space divided by the total area of all rental spaces; and (D) for a multiple use facility, the owner shall multiply the amount established in paragraph (1) of this subsection by: (i) any of the factors developed under subparagraph (A) of this paragraph; or (ii) the square footage of the rental space divided by the total square footage of all rental spaces. (3) If a tenant moves in or out during a billing period, the owner may calculate a bill for the tenant. If the tenant moves in during a billing period, the owner shall prorate the bill by calculating a bill as if the tenant were there for the whole month and then charging the tenant for only the number of days the tenant lived in the unit divided by the number of days in the month multiplied by the calculated bill. If a tenant moves out during a billing period before the owner receives the bill for that period from the retail public utility, the owner may calculate a final bill. The owner may calculate the tenant's bill by calculating the tenants average bill for the last three months and multiplying that average bill by the number of days the tenant was in the unit divided by the number of days in that month. (f) Conversion to approved allocation method. An owner using an allocation formula other than those approved in subsection (e) of this section shall immediately provide notice as required under §24.279(c) of this title (relating to Rental Agreement) and either: (1) adopt one of the methods in subsection (e) of this section; or (2) install submeters and begin billing on a submetered basis; or (3) discontinue billing for utility services. § 24.283. Billing (a) Monthly billing of total charges. The owner shall bill the tenant each month for the total charges calculated under §24.281 of this title (relating to Charges and Calculations). If it is permitted in the rental agreement, an occupant or occupants who are not residing in the rental unit for a period longer than 30 days may be excluded from the occupancy calculation and from paying a water and sewer bill for that period. (b) Rendering bill. (1) Allocated bills shall be rendered as promptly as possible after the owner receives the retail public utility bill. (2) Submeter bills shall be rendered as promptly as possible after the owner receives the retail public utility bill or according to the time schedule in the rental agreement if the owner is billing using the retail public utility's rate. (c) Submeter reading schedule. Submeters or point -of -use submeters shall be read within three days of the scheduled reading date of the retail public utility's master meter or according to the schedule in the rental agreement if the owner is billing using the retail public utility's rate. (d) Billing period. (1) Allocated bills shall be rendered for the same billing period as that of the retail public utility, generally monthly, unless service is provided for less than that period. (2) Submeter bills shall be rendered for the same billing period as that of the retail public utility, generally monthly, unless service is provided for less than that period. If the owner uses the retail public utility's actual rate, the billing period may be an altemate billing period specified in the rental agreement. (e) Multi -item bill. If issued on a multi -item bill, charges for submetered or allocated utility service must be separate and distinct from any other charges on the bill. (f) Information on bill. The bill must clearly state that the utility service is submetered or allocated, as applicable, and must include all of the following: (1) total amount due for submetered or allocated water; (2) total amount due for submetered or allocated wastewater; (3) total amount due for dwelling unit base charge(s) or customer service charge(s) or both, if applicable; (4) total amount due for water or wastewater usage, if applicable; (5) the name of the retail public utility and a statement that the bill is not from the retail public utility; (6) name and address of the tenant to whom the bill is applicable; (7) name of the firm rendering the bill and the name or title, address, and telephone number of the firm or person to be contacted in case of a billing dispute; and (8) name, address, and telephone number of the party to whom payment is to be made. (g) Information on submetered service. In addition to the information required in subsection (f) of this section, a bill for submetered service must include all of the following: (1) the total number of gallons, liters, or cubic feet submetered or measured by point -of -use submeters; (2) the cost per gallon, liter, or cubic foot for each service provided; and (3) total amount due for a service charge charged by an owner of a manufactured home rental community, if applicable. (h) Due date. The due date on the bill may not be less than 16 days after it is mailed or hand delivered to the tenant, unless the due date falls on a federal holiday or weekend, in which case the following work day will be the due date. The owner shall record the date the bill is mailed or hand delivered. A payment is delinquent if not received by the due date. (i) Estimated bill. An estimated bill may be rendered if a master meter, submeter, or point -of -use submeter has been tampered with, cannot be read, or is out of order; and in such case, the bill must be distinctly marked as an estimate and the subsequent bill must reflect an adjustment for actual charges. (j) Payment by tenant. Unless utility bills are paid to a third -party billing company on behalf of the owner, or unless clearly designated by the tenant, payment must be applied first to rent and then to utilities. (k) Overbilling and underbilling. If a bill is issued and subsequently found to be in error, the owner shall calculate a billing adjustment. If the tenant is due a refund, an adjustment must be calculated for all of that tenant's bills that 4' Blue Moon eSignature Services Document ID: 424460641 included overcharges. If the overbilling or underbilling affects all tenants, an adjustment must be calculated for all of the tenants' bills. If the tenant was undercharged, and the cause was not due to submeter or point -of -use submeter error, the owner may calculate an adjustment for bills issued in the previous six months. If the total undercharge is $25 or more, the owner shall offer the tenant a deferred payment plan option, for the same length of time as that of the underbilling. Adjustments for usage by a previous tenant may not be back billed to a current tenant. (I) Disputed bills. In the event of a dispute between a tenant and an owner regarding any bill, the owner shall investigate the matter and report the results of the investigation to the tenant in writing. The investigation and report must be completed within 30 days from the date the tenant gives written notification of the dispute to the owner. (m) Late fee. A one-time penalty not to exceed 5% may be applied to delinquent accounts. If such a penalty is applied, the bill must indicate the amount due if the late penalty is incurred. No late penalty may be applied unless agreed to by the tenant in a written lease that states the percentage amount of such late penalty. § 24.285. Complaint Jurisdiction (a) Jurisdiction. The commission has exclusive jurisdiction for violations under this subchapter. (b) Complaints. If an apartment house owner, condominium manager, manufactured home rental community owner, or other multiple use facility owner violates a commission rule regarding utility costs, the person claiming the violation may file a complaint with the commission and may appear remotely for a hearing. § 24.287. Submeters or Point -of -Use Submeters and Plumbing Fixtures (a) Submeters or point -of -use submeters. (1) Same type submeters or point -of -use submeters required. All submeters or point -of -use submeters throughout a property must use the same unit of measurement, such as gallon, liter, or cubic foot. (2) Installation by owner. The owner shall be responsible for providing, installing, and maintaining all submeters or point -of -use submeters necessary for the measurement of water to tenants and to common areas, if applicable. (3) Submeter or point -of -use submeter tests prior to installation. No submeter or point -of -use submeter may be placed in service unless its accuracy has been established. If any submeter or point -of -use submeter is removed from service, it must be properly tested and calibrated before being placed in service again. (4) Accuracy requirements for submeters and point -of -use submeters. Submeters must be calibrated as close as possible to the condition of zero error and within the accuracy standards established by the American Water Works Association (AWWA) for water meters. Point -of -use submeters must be calibrated as closely as possible to the condition of zero error and within the accuracy standards established by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) for point -of -use and branch -water submetering systems. (5) Location of submeters and point -of -use submeters. Submeters and point -of -use submeters must be installed in accordance with applicable plumbing codes and AWWA standards for water meters or ASME standards for point -of -use submeters, and must be readily accessible to the tenant and to the owner for testing and inspection where such activities will cause minimum interference and inconvenience to the tenant. (6) Submeter and point -of -use submeter records. The owner shall maintain a record on each submeter or point -of -use submeter which includes: (A) an identifying number; (B) the installation date (and removal date, if applicable); (C) date(s) the submeter or point -of -use submeter was calibrated or tested; (D) copies of all tests; and (E) the current location of the submeter or point -of -use submeter. (7) Submeter or point -of -use submeter test on request of tenant. Upon receiving a written request from the tenant, the owner shall either: (A) provide evidence, at no charge to the tenant, that the submeter or point -of -use submeter was calibrated or tested within the preceding 24 months and determined to be within the accuracy standards established by the AWWA for water meters or ASME standards for point -of -use submeters; or (B) have the submeter or point -of -use submeter removed and tested and promptly advise the tenant of the test results. (8) Billing for submeter or point -of -use submeter test. (A) The owner may not bill the tenant for testing costs if the submeter fails to meet AWWA accuracy standards for water meters or ASME standards for point -of -use submeters. (B) The owner may not bill the tenant for testing costs if there is no evidence that the submeter or point -of -use submeter was calibrated or tested within the preceding 24 months. (C) The owner may bill the tenant for actual testing costs (not to exceed $25) if the submeter meets AWWA accuracy standards or the point -of - use submeter meets ASME accuracy standards and evidence as described in paragraph (7)(A) of this subsection was provided to the tenant. (9) Bill adjustment due to submeter or point -of -use submeter error. If a submeter does not meet AWWA accuracy standards or a point -of -use submeter does not meet ASME accuracy standards and the tenant was overbilled, an adjusted bill must be rendered in accordance with §24.283(k) of this title (relating to Billing). The owner may not charge the tenant for any underbilling that occurred because the submeter or point -of -use submeter was in error. (10) Submeter or point -of -use submeter testing facilities and equipment. For submeters, an owner shall comply with the AWWA's meter testing requirements. For point -of -use meters, an owner shall comply with ASME's meter testing requirements. (b) Plumbing fixtures. After January 1, 2003, before an owner of an apartment house, manufactured home rental community, or multiple use facility or a manager of a condominium may implement a program to bill tenants for submetered or allocated water service, the owner or manager shall adhere to the following standards: (1) Texas Health and Safety Code, §372.002, for sink or lavatory faucets, faucet aerators, and showerheads; (2) perform a water leak audit of each dwelling unit or rental unit and each common area and repair any leaks found; and (3) not later than the first anniversary of the date an owner of an apartment house, manufactured home rental community, or multiple use facility or a manager of a condominium begins to bill for submetered or allocated water service, the owner or manager shall: (A) remove any toilets that exceed a maximum flow of 3.5 gallons per flush; and (B) install toilets that meet the standards prescribed by Texas Health and Safety Code, §372.002.

Subsection (b) of this section does not apply to a manufactured home rental community owner who does not own the manufactured homes located on the property of the manufactured home rental community. 4' Blue Moon eSignature Services Document ID: 424460641 LEASE ADDENDUM FOR ALLOCATING NATURAL GAS COSTS 1. Texas. The terms of this addendum will control if the terms of the Lease and this addendum conflict. 2. Reason for allocation. When natural gas bills are paid by the property owner, residents have no incentive to conserve gas and heat. This results in a waste of our state's natural resources and adds to the overhead of the property —and that usually means higher rents. On the other hand, allocation of gas raises everyone's awareness of the need to conserve gas and heat and to pay attention to the thermostat and heat loss through open doors or windows. It should therefore minimize the necessity for rent increases to cover wasteful practices of other residents regarding heating and gas consumption. 3. Your payment due date. Payment of your allocated gas bill is due 16 days after the date it is postmarked or hand delivered to your apartment. You agree to mail or deliver payment to the place indicated on your bill so that payment is received no later than the due date. You will pay a late charge of $ (not to exceed $3) if we do not receive timely payment. If you are late in paying the gas bill, we may not cut off your gas; but we may immediately exercise all other lawful remedies, including eviction just like late payment of rent. 4. Allocation procedures. Your monthly rent under the TAA Lease Contract does not include a charge for natural gas. Instead, you will be receiving a separate bill from us each month for gas.

(See pages 3 and 4) FIRE Fires are a serious problem in apartment communities, much more so than in a single-family dwelling, due to the number of families living within each building. Though damage is usually confined to property loss and damage, the loss of personal items can be quite an emotional experience. Most often started through carelessness with cooking, matches, cigarettes, and fireplaces, many fires can be avoided by using caution and common sense. Be prepared plan ahead for everyone's safety As part of your planning, explore your community. Know every possible exit, including exits from laundry, storage and clubrooms. If hallways become smoky in a fire, your memory can help you find the way out. Remember never to use elevators in a fire. Keep exit and stairwell doors closed at all time, but not locked. Keep exits clear of debris and storage. Focus on these four elements in your fire safety plan: • Prevention • Detection • Escape planning and practice • Fire Department notification (Dial 911) An ounce of prevention An ounce of prevention can save your life. Prevention is your best insurance against fire. We recommend that you take these simple fire safety precautions in your own apartment to prevent fires from starting: ❖ Let cooking grease cool and pour into a metal can. • Monitor children carefully. Do not let children cook on the stove. Keep lighters and matches out of the reach of children. Avoid cooking while intoxicated, medicated, or sleepy. ❖ Rather than trash cans, use an empty metal container such as a coffee can for ashtray disposal. Do not remove, disable, or take batteries out of your smoke detector(s). Test smoke detectors monthly to make sure they are still functional. Do not store gas -operated tools or vehicles (motorcycles) inside the apartment or under stairwells. ❖ Barbecue grills are not allowed on balconies, patios or stored under stairways. Fireplace safety Use dry and well -seasoned hardwoods. Softwoods tend to burn away too quickly, and scrap lumber produces excessive sparks. Never use compressed wood dipped in tar, pitch, creosote, such as DuraFlame logs, as this produces sputtering, smoking fires with toxic fumes and causes build-up inside chimney. Never use fire starters such as charcoal lighter or kerosene and definitely no "gasoline." Never burn trash or Christmas trees in the fireplace. ❖ Always use a log grate. It positions the fire properly and ensures a good flow of combustible air to and around the fire —producing the most efficient fire. Do not drop logs into the fireplace as this may damage the fireplace floor and walls. Build moderate to small fires. Most fireplaces in apartments are not designed for roaring fires. Be sure the damper is open before starting the fire and close the damper securely only when the fire is completely out and the ashes are cold. Use a fireplace screen and keep it clean. To start a fire, crumble newspapers on grate and lay in small pieces of dry kindling wood. Place two or three small logs to rear of grate. Open damper and light newspapers, then close screen to keep sparks and embers in. Never leave the fire unattended or with unattended children. Never clean or empty the fireplace until the fire is out and ashes are cold. Always place in a metal ash container (not plastic or paper trash bag) to cool off or be watered down. Ashes three to four days old that were thought to be out have caused many fires. ❖ Never leave ashes inside garages or on balconies. Do not dispose of your ashes in flower or shrub beds. Set them outside in a safe place. Never put hot ashes in a dumpster. 2 VI Blue Moon eSignature Services Document ID: 424460641 Never store firewood in any manner that would inhibit or block any exit, stairway or balcony if it caught fire. Fire laws and insurance requirements prohibit the use of BBC), grills in breezeways, balconies, patios, or within 10 feet of a building. Lighter fluid and flames are potentially hazardous to items such as boxes, furniture and the building. Make sure smoke detectors work properly If a fire occurs, smoke detectors alert you right away so that you can get out of the building safely. If you notice that smoke detectors in your own apartment or in public hallways are beeping, be sure to change batteries or have electrical systems checked. Under your lease, it is your responsibility to replace dead or missing batteries immediately. Do not disable your smoke detector. Disabling a smoke detector or removing working batteries is a violation of Texas law. Establish and practice escape plans In a fire, there is no time to stop and think. You need to know in advance two escape routes from your apartment and your building. That is why it is critical that you make and practice escape plans. Determine evacuation procedures, and decide on a meeting place outdoors. Go there as soon as you exit the building and stay there. This way, you can keep track of who is out and who may be trapped inside. If you think someone is trapped, tell the fire department. Never go back into the building yourself. Practice! Rehearse your escape plans. Make sure that your children understand the plan. Do you have senior citizens, infants, disabled or ill occupants living with you who will need help? Plan for these situations now. • • IN CASE OF FIRE, CALL 911 A.S.A.P! What to do if fire strikes Do not rush out of your apartment into the hallway. First, feel the door. If it is hot, use another way out. If the door is cool, leave by the nearest exit. Use the stairs. Close all doors behind you to slow fire spread. If your planned escape route becomes smoky, get down on your hands and knees and crawl. Smoke rises, so the cleanest air is near the floor. If you cannot escape your apartment, stuff wet towels, sheets and clothes around the door and vents to keep smoke out. Call the fire department and tell them where you are. If no smoke is coming into the room you are in, open a window slightly. Stay low and wave a bright cloth, towel or sheet out a window to signal your location. Remember, by accepting your responsibility to keep your apartment safe from fire, you are not only protecting yourself, but your neighbors as well. A little bit of planning and awareness can make the difference between safety and disaster for everyone. FREEZING WEATHER In the event of severe, freezing weather, please take the following precautions: Drip all the faucets in your apartment. Drip both the HOT and COLD water. • Turn on the heat and set on 50° minimum. Open your closet and cabinet doors to expose plumbing pipes so that these spaces are heated. If you are going to be away from your apartment for an extended period, please leave the thermostat on 50° minimum. These precautions are essential to avoid substantial damage to your apartment from broken pipes. If you have negligently failed to take these precautions, you may be liable for damages to you and your neighbor's apartment. This is especially important if you do not have insurance to cover this damage. STORMS (Violent or Electrical Thunderstorms) Spring usually brings with it rapidly changing weather patterns including violent electrical and/or thunderstorms. The following actions will help prevent damage to the property caused by high wind and heavy rain: • Secure outdoor furniture, plants, and decorations to prevent them from blowing away or blowing into windows, cars, etc. Make sure all doors and windows are securely closed. Turn off and unplug computers, television sets and all other electrical equipment. • Stay indoors. • • SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY AND NOISE Identifying suspicious behavior Anything that seems unusual or "out of place" could be criminal activity. Working as a partner with police, every resident has a responsibility to report any suspicious behavior. Do not think that you are bothering the police. Consider the results if a crime is in progress and you do not act! Never attempt to apprehend a person committing a crime or to investigate suspicious activity. Leave any confrontations to the police. Allow police to perform the job they are trained to do. Not every stranger who enters your property is a criminal, but criminals do take advantage of activity in apartment communities by pretending to be legitimately involved in sales, repair, and service. If you see any solicitors in your community contact the office. If you suspect that any employee is involved in illegal activity, please contact the Manager immediately. Noise from neighbors If you have a noise complaint concerning a neighbor, we recommend the following procedure: • First, calmly speak with your neighbors yourself. They may not be aware of the disturbance. Second, if the problem persists, contact the management office. After office hours, the answering service will contact a staff member to address the problem. Please call the office again during business hours so that we can monitor the situation. • Third, contact the police. These calls are considered low priority, but they will respond. 3 VI Blue Moon eSignature Services Document ID: 424460641 Solicitors For your personal safety and protection, do not allow strangers into your apartment. Your apartment community does not allow door-to-door solicitors of any type. If you are bothered by solicitors, please contact the office or local police department. Lighting The maintenance of the exterior lighting at our community is an important part of our maintenance program. If you notice that lights are out, please contact our office and we will handle your request. SECURITY GUIDELINES FOR RESIDENTS In cooperation with the Texas Apartment Association, we'd like to give you some important safety guidelines. The Texas Police Association and the Sheriffs' Association of Texas have approved these suggestions. We recommend that you follow these guidelines and use common sense in practicing safe conduct. Inform all other occupants in your dwelling, including any children you may have, about these guidelines. Personal security -while inside your apartment 1. Lock your doors and windows -even while inside. 2. Engage the keyless deadbolts on all doors while you're inside. 3. When answering the door, see who is there by looking through a window or front door peephole. If you don't know the person, first talk with them before opening the door. Don't open the door if you have any doubts. 4. If children (who are old enough to take care of themselves) are left alone in your apartment, tell them to use the keyless deadbolt and refuse to let anyone inside while you are gone -regardless of whether the person is a stranger or an apartment maintenance or management employee. 5. Don't put your name, address, or phone number on your key ring. 6. If you're concerned because you've lost your key or because someone you distrust has a key, ask the management to re -key the locks. You have a statutory right to have that done as long as you pay for the re -keying. 7. Dial 911 for emergencies. If the 911 number does not operate in your area, keep phone numbers handy for the police, fire, and emergency medical services. If an emergency arises, call the appropriate governmental authorities first, and then call the management. 8. Check your smoke detector monthly to make sure it is working properly and the batteries are still good. 9. Check your door locks, window latches and other security devices regularly to be sure they are working properly. 10. If your doors or windows are unsecured due to break-ins or malfunctioning locks or latches, stay with friends or neighbors until the problem is fixed. 11. Immediately report to management --in writing, dated and signed -any needed repairs of locks, latches, doors, windows, smoke detectors, and alarm systems. 12. Immediately report to management --in writing, dated and signed -any malfunction of other safety devices outside your apartment, such as broken gate locks, burned out lights in stairwells and parking lots, blocked passages, broken railings, etc. 13. Close curtains, blinds, and window shades at night. 14. Mark or engrave your driver's license number or other identification on valuable personal property. 15. Lock your doors while you're gone. Lock any door handle lock, keyed deadbolt lock, sliding door pin lock, sliding door security bar that you have. 16. Leave a radio or TV playing softly while you're gone. 17. Close and latch your windows while you're gone, particularly when you're on vacation. 18. Tell your roommate or spouse where you're going and when you'll be back. 19. Don't walk alone at night. Don't allow your family to do so. 20. Don't hide a key under the doormat or a nearby flowerpot. These are the first places a burglar looks. 21. Don't give entry keys, codes, or electronic gate cards to anyone. 22. Use lamp timers when you go out in the evening or go away on vacation. They can be purchased at most hardware stores. 23. Let the manager and your friends know if you'll be gone for an extended time. Ask your neighbors to watch your apartment since the management cannot assume that responsibility. 24. While on vacation, temporarily stop your newspaper and mail delivery, or have your mail and newspaper picked up daily by a friend. 25. Carry your door key in your hand, whether it is daylight or dark, when walking to your entry door. You are more vulnerable when looking for your keys at the door. Personal security -while using your car 26. Lock your car doors while driving. Lock your car doors and roll up the windows when leaving your car parked. 27. Don't leave exposed items in your car, such as cd's, wrapped packages, briefcases, or purses. 28. Don't leave your keys in the car. 29. Carry your key ring in your hand whenever you are walking to your car --whether it is daylight or dark and whether you are at home, school, work, or on vacation. 30. Always park in a well -lighted area. If possible, try to park your car in an off-street parking area rather than on the street. 31. Check the backseat before getting into your car. 32. Be careful when stopping at gas stations or automatic teller machines at night --or anytime when you suspect danger. Personal security awareness No security system is failsafe. Even the best system can't prevent crime. Always act as if security systems don't exist since they are subject to malfunction, tampering, and human error. We disclaim any express or implied warranties of security. The best safety measures are the ones you perform as a matter of common sense and habit. 4 VI Blue Moon eSignature Services Document ID: 424460641 RENTAL PAYMENT Although your rental payment policies are stated in your Apartment Lease Contract, we will explain them further here: • All rent is due on the 15t of the month and is late on the 2nd. ❖ If your rent is received by the office after the date specified on your lease, you will be charged a late charge equal to 10% of the rent listed on paragraph 6 of your lease on the 4th.

These priorities and goals are to be addressed with Annual Action Plans that summarize the major housing and community development activities and proposed expenditures for each of the five years. These priorities and goals were developed to be consistent with strategies and initiatives previously adopted by the City Council, as well as through an assessment of community needs. This included Citywide public meetings conducted by JQuad Planning Group, the consultant contracted to prepare the Consolidated Plan in collaboration with the Neighborhood Services Department staff. The recommended Consolidated Plan priorities and goals for use of HUD grant funds over the next five years are summarized below. PRIORITY NEED GOAL Promote Affordable Housing for Renters and Owners Increase neighborhood stability through homeownership assistance; Fair Housing efforts, and supportive services for renters and owners Housing Preservation and Rehabilitation Preserve and expand the supply of quality affordable housing throughout the City Neighborhood Improvement and Revitalization Enhance neighborhood development and revitalization throughout the City Economic Empowerment and Financial Resilience Support programs and services providing employment training and career readiness programs that promote self-sufficiency and household stability Children and Youth Services Support programs and services to prepare children and youth for success through educational, mentoring, training and related programs Aging In Place Support programs and services for older adults to access resources needed to age in their homes, while maintaining both their independence and quality of life Accessibility Improvements Improve accessibility in public facilities and housing, including architectural barrier removal Homelessness Prevention and Special Needs Support Provide housing and support services for persons experiencing and at -risk of experiencing homelessness; support efforts to achieve permanent housing Healthy Living and Wellness Support programs and services to improve the mental and physical health of low -to moderate -income Fort Worth families The City's 2023-2024 Annual Action Plan summarizes the major housing and community development activities and proposed expenditures for the program year beginning October 1, 2023 and ending September 30, 2024 for use of federal grant funds totaling $13,452,621.00 from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) from the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME), Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG), and htt[)://anns.cfwnet.ora/council Dacket/mc review.asp?ID=31258&councildate=8/8/2023 8/17/2023 M&C Review Page 3 of 7 Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) grant programs. It also summarizes the use of program income resulting from activities using prior years' CDBG and HOME funds, the primary purpose of which is to benefit low -and moderate -income persons in Fort Worth. ESG funds primarily benefit persons experiencing homelessness, and HOPWA funds primarily benefit low -and moderate -income persons with HIV/AIDS. A Request for Proposals from social service agencies and nonprofit organizations seeking grant funding was published on February 1, 2023. All proposals were received on March 15, 2023. Staff reviewed all proposals and developed recommendations for the allocation of estimated funding from HUD based on the capacity of applicant organizations, grant experience, fiscal stability, and compliance with applicable federal regulations. One public hearing was held on April 12, 2023 to provide citizens the opportunity to participate in the development of the Annual Action Plan. Recommendations for award amounts were considered and adopted by the Community Development Council on May 10, 2023. These funding recommendations were presented in City Council Work Session on August 1, 2023. A 30-day public comment period was held from June 30, 2023 to July 31, 2023. Notice of this public comment period was published in the Fort Worth Star -Telegram on June 29, 2023; in the Cleburne Times Review on July 6; in the Weatherford Democrat on July 8; and in La Vida News on July 13. Any comments received are maintained by the Neighborhood Services Department in accordance with federal regulations.

These programs are available in ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS. Each of these grants is an entitlement grant rather than a competitive grant received from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Entitlement grants provide funds to agencies based on a formula, prescribed in legislation or regulation, rather than based on review. These specific grants are allocated to the City of Fort Worth based on population size and per capita income each year. The grants have been consistently awarded to the City since 1974 with the inception of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) through the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974. The Emergency Shelter (renamed Solutions) Grant (ESG) was authorized in 1987 through the McKinney-Vento Homelessness Assistance Act. The HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) and the Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) Program were authorized in 1990 through the Cranston -Gonzales National Affordable Housing Act of 1990. With these grants, administrative and program delivery allocations support approximately 72 FTE positions in the Neighborhood Services Department, which is funded nearly 70\% with various grants including these entitlement grants. Positions funded with HUD Entitlement grants are subject to grant availability. In the event of a grant award being decreased or eliminated, Neighborhood Services Department would review programs and services funded by the grants and determine a level of service and staffing that aligns with the available funding. Alternatives to consider may include staff and program reductions or eliminations. FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION: The Director of Finance certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the current operating budget, as appropriated, of the Grants Operating Federal Fund. The Neighborhood Services Department (and Financial Management Services) will be responsible for the collection and deposit of funds due to the City. Prior to an expenditure being incurred, the Neighborhood Services Department has the responsibility to validate the availability of funds. This is a reimbursement grant.
