In the Basic Model, the financial assistance provided by the County is structured as a deferred <br />loan for the full period of the loan or 99 years. In most cases the County loan is in a second <br />position, subordinate to the first mortgagor. It is acknowledged that a second lien position is <br />"frail", however, it often necessary to enable project developers to obtain other sources of <br />funding. The loan documents include a Declaration of Restrictive Covenants, Deed of Trust and <br />Promissory Note. (For projects that receive financial assistance in the form of a grant, only the <br />Development Agreement and Restrictive Covenants are applicable. <br />These documents have been drafted and "tweaked" a few times over the last few years by the <br />County Attorney and Housing/Community Development Director as the number of affordable <br />housing projects have increased and the type of projects have become more diversified. As <br />information for the Board, the following outlines important details regarding these documents. <br />Default Provisions <br />The following default provisions are contained in the Deed of Trust. <br />a. the failure to make when due any payment, whether of principal or interest under the <br />Note; <br />b. the failure to make any other payment to Lender required by the Loan <br />Documents within ten (70) days after notice from Lender directing Borrower to make <br />the paymenf, but in any event before the same is past due; <br />c. any covenant, represenfatlon, warranty made by Borrower or material Information <br />supplied to fhe Lender proves to be materially false or misfeading when made or <br />given; the transfer of all or part of the Premises (including a beneficial interest) <br />without Lender's prior written consent; <br />d. the death, dissolution, merger, consolidation or termination of existence of Borrower <br />or any guarantor hereof or the transfer of any beneficial interest In Borrower without <br />Lender's prior written consent (if Borrower is a married couple, the death of <br />Borrower means the death of the survivor of the married couple); <br />e. the application for the appointment of a receiver for Borrower or any guarantor, or the <br />Kling of a petition under any provisions of the Bankruptcy Code or Act by Borrower or <br />any guarantor, or the filing of a petition under any provisions of the Bankruptcy Code <br />or Act against Borrower or guarantor which is not dismissed within 30 days; or the <br />Kling of an answer in an involuntary proceeding admitting insolvency or inability fo <br />pay debts; or any assignment for the benefit of creditors by or against Borrower or <br />any guarantor; or the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of any portion of <br />Borrower`s or any guarantor's assets which is not discharged within ten (70) days; or <br />f. the failure of any Borrower to perform any other non-monetary obligation or condition <br />of the Loan Documents within 30 days after notice from Lender, provided that if such <br />default cannot reasonably be cured within 30 days, it shall not constitute an Event of <br />Default as long as Borrower is diligently pursuing such cure unless it is not cured <br />within 180 days after the original notice of default from Lender. <br />Upon any Event of Default, the entire principal sum evidenced by the Note and accrued <br />but unpaid interest hereon may, at the sole option of Lender, be declared at once due and <br />payable, time being of the essence of this obligation.
