LEASING AND USE OF PROPERTY The Owner shall not lease or rent the Property. Any lease or rental in violation of this Agreement is prohibited, and shall constitute a default by the Owner hereunder. 5.

CITY PURCHASE OPTION The Owner agrees that the City shall have the option to purchase the Property (the "Option ") for an amount equal to the lesser of the following: the Fair Market Value of the Property (as determined pursuant to Section 8 - Fair Market Value), the offered sales price, or a price mutually agreed upon by the Owner and the City.

If the City exercises the option to purchase, it shall purchase the Property within sixty (60) days of the date it receives the notice specified in Section 6 (Notice of Intended Transfer). The City may, instead of purchasing the Property itself, assign its right to purchase the Property to a person who meets the criteria established by the City for the First -Time Homebuyer Program or to a governmental agency or nonprofit organization which is devoted to the provision of affordable housing. 8. FAIR MARKET VALUE If it is necessary to determine the fair market value of the Property (the "Fair Market Value "), it shall be determined by a real estate appraiser.

Each appraiser on the County's list shall have been previously approved by the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae or FNMA) or the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) and placed on their respective lists of approved residential property appraisers. If possible, the appraisal shall be based upon the sales prices of comparable properties sold in the market area during the preceding three - month period. The cost of the appraisal shall be borne by the Owner. In the event that the Owner has made capital improvements to the Property which have increased the value of the Property or if damage or deferred maintenance has occurred while the Owner owned the Property which has decreased the value of the Property, the appraisal shall specifically ascribe a value to these adjustment factors and state what the fair market value of the Property would be without such adjustments. Nothing in this Section shall preclude the Owner and the City from establishing the Fair Market Value of the Property by mutual agreement in lieu of an appraisal pursuant to this Section. 9. REPAYMENT OF NOTE UPON TRANSFER BY OWNER; CITY PURCHASE OPTION FTHB — Affordability /Recapture Agreement, June 2008 - Page 4 of 11 • • If the City exercises its Option to purchase the Property, the outstanding amount of principal and interest due under the Note shall be paid to the City in the form of a credit against the purchase price to be paid by the City to the Owner. 10.

Upon Transfer the Owner shall (a) pay all of the principal and interest due to the First Lender, (b) recover the down - payment and the Value of Improvements, if any, less the value of any Needed Repairs on the Property, and, (c) pay to the City all principal and interest on the Note. Needed Repairs shall mean those repairs required to fix any damages to the Property, as determined by the City. Value of Improvements shall mean the value of any substantial structural or permanent fixed improvements which value shall be determined by an appraisal, performed at the Owner's expense, made by an independent residential appraiser selected by the Owner, from a list of appraisers provided by the County. Each appraiser on the County's list shall have been previously approved by the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae or FNMA) or the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) and placed on their respective lists of approved residential property appraisers. 11. ENCUMBRANCES If Owner further encumbers the Property, except for the First Lender's Deed of Trust and the City Deed of Trust, the Owner shall repay the City Loan in accordance with Section 5(b) of the Note (Repayment) and Section 8 (Notice Required) of the Note. 12. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES Upon a violation of any of the provisions of this Agreement by the Owner, the City may give written notice to the Owner consistent with the provisions in Section 10 of the City Deed of Trust (Default; Remedies). If the violation is not corrected to the satisfaction of the City within a reasonable period of time, not longer than thirty (30) days after the date the notice is mailed, or within such further time as the City determines is necessary to correct the violations, the City may declare a default under this Agreement. Upon the declaration of a default or if the Owner makes any misrepresentation in connection with receiving any benefits under this Agreement, the City may: (a) declare all amounts due under the Note immediately due and payable without further demand and may invoke the power of sale under the Deed of Trust; and (b) apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for specific performance of this Agreement, for an injunction prohibiting a proposed sale or transfer in violation of this Agreement, for a declaration that a transfer in violation of this Agreement is void, and for any such other relief at law or in equity as may be appropriate. FTHB — Affordability /Recapture Agreement, June 2008 - Page 5 of 11 0 • 13. NOTICE OF DEFAULT AND FORECLOSURE A request for notice of default and any notice of sale under any deed of trust or mortgage with power of sale encumbering the Property shall be recorded by the City in the Office of the Recorder of San Luis Obispo County for the benefit of the City. The City may declare a default under this Agreement upon receipt of any notice given to the City pursuant to Civil Code Section 2924b, and may exercise its rights as provided in Section 12 (Defaults and Remedies). In the event of default and foreclosure, the City shall have the same right as the Owner to cure defaults and redeem the Property prior to the foreclosure sale. Nothing herein shall be construed as creating any obligation of the City to cure any such default, nor shall this right to cure and redeem operate to extend any time limitations in the default provisions of the underlying deed of trust or mortgage. 14. RESTRICTIONS ON FORECLOSURE PROCEEDS If a creditor acquires title to the Property through a deed in lieu of foreclosure, a trustee's deed upon sale, or otherwise, the Owner shall not be entitled to the proceeds of sale to the extent that such proceeds of such sale exceed the proceeds paid or credited to the creditor until the City has received the amount of principal and interest due the City on its Note. The Owner shall instruct the holder of such excess proceeds to pay such proceeds to the City as repayment for, and in consideration of, the financial assistance provided in the development of the Property. 15. BINDING ON SUCCESSOR AND ASSIGNS This Agreement shall bind, and the benefit hereof shall inure to, the Owner, his or her heirs, legal representatives, executors, successors -in- interest and assigns, and to the City and its successors, until the earlier of (a) the end of the Term of this Agreement, or (b) the date the lesser of the offered sales price, the Fair Market Value or the price mutually agreed upon by the Owner and the City under the purchase Option is paid to the Owner by the City, or (c) the date of a Transfer of the Property. 16. SUPERIORITY OF AGREEMENT The Owner covenants that he or she has not, and will not, execute any other agreement with provisions contradictory to or in opposition to the provisions hereof, and that, in any event, this Agreement is controlling as to the rights and obligations between and among the Owner, the City and their respective successors. 17. RIGHTS OF BENEFICIARIES UNDER DEEDS OF TRUSTS Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, this Agreement shall not diminish or affect the rights of the First Lender under the First Lender's Deed of Trust or any subsequent First Lender Deeds of Trust hereafter recorded against the Property and the provisions FTHB — Affordability /Recapture Agreement, June 2008 - Page 6 of 11 of this Agreement shall be subordinate to the lien of the First Lender's Deed of Trust and shall not impair the rights of the First Lender, or such lender's assignee or successor -in- interest (including but not limited to HUD, FNMA, Freddie Mac, the Veterans Administration, or the California Housing Finance Agency, if applicable), to exercise its remedies under the First Lender's Deed of Trust in the event of default under the First Lender's Deed of Trust by the Borrower. Such remedies under the First Lender's Deed of Trust include the right of foreclosure or acceptance of a deed or assignment in lieu of foreclosure. After such foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, this Agreement shall be forever terminated and shall have no further effect as to the Property or any transferee thereafter; provided, however, if the holder of such First Lender's Deed of Trust acquired title to the Property pursuant to a deed or assignment in lieu of foreclosure, this Agreement shall automatically terminate upon such acquisition of title, provided that (a) the City has been given written notice of default under such First Lender's Deed of Trust, and (b) the City shall not have cured the default under such First Lender's Deed of Trust within the 30-day period provided in such notice sent to the Lender, or commenced to cure the default within such 30 -day period and given its firm commitment to complete the cure in form and substance acceptable to the First Lender. If, during the original Term of this Agreement, the owner of record before the termination event, or any entity that includes the former owner or those with whom the former owner has or had family or business ties, obtains an ownership interest in the Property, this Agreement shall be revived according to the original provisions. 18. INVALID PROVISIONS If any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, then such provision or provisions shall be deemed severable from the remaining provisions contained in this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. 19.
