NOTE: Each recipient of an allocation of credits will be required to record an extended use agreement as required by
the IRC governing the use of the development for low-income housing for at least 30 years. However, the IRC provides
that, in certain circumstances, such extended use period may be terminated early.
This development will be subject to the standard extended use agreement which permits early
termination (after the mandatory 15-year compliance period) of the extended use period.
This development will be subject to an extended use agreement in which the owner's right to any
early termination of the extended use provision is waived for 25 additional years after the 15-
year compliance period for a total of 40 years. Do not select if IX.B is checked below.
This development will be subject to an extended use agreement in which the owner's right to any
early termination of the extended use provision is waived for 35 additional years after the 15-
year compliance period for a total of 50 years. Do not select if IX.B is checked below.
1. After the mandatory 15-year compliance period, a qualified nonprofit as identified in the
attached nonprofit questionnaire, or local housing authority will have the option to purchase
or the right of first refusal to acquire the development for a price not to exceed the outstanding
debt and exit taxes. Such debt must be limited to the original mortgage(s) unless any refinancing
is approved by the nonprofit. Do not select if extended compliance is selected in IX.A above.

The following calculation of the amount of credits needed is substantially the same as the calculation which will be made by VHDA to
determine, as required by the IRC, the amount of credits which may be allocated for the development. However, VHDA at all times retains the
right to substitute such information and assumptions as are determined by VHDA to be reasonable for the information and assumptions
provided herein as to costs (including development fees, profits, etc.), sources for funding, expected equity, etc. Accordingly, if the
development is selected by VHDA for a reservation of credits, the amount of such reservation may differ significantly from the amount you
compute below.

herewith is true and correct, and all estimates are reasonable.
2. that it will at all times indemnify and hold harmless VHDA and its assigns against all losses, costs,
damages, VHDA's expenses, and liabilities of any nature directly or indirectly resulting from, arising out of,

submitted herewith and that no revised representations may be made in connection with this application
once the deadline for applications has passed.
4. that this application form, provided by VHDA to applicants for tax credits, including all sections herein
relative to basis, credit calculations, and determination of the amount of the credit necessary to make the
development financially feasible, is provided only for the convenience of VHDA in reviewing reservation
requests; that completion hereof in no way guarantees eligibility for the credits or ensures that the amount
of credits applied for has been computed in accordance with IRC requirements; and that any notations
herein describing IRC requirements are offered only as general guides and not as legal authority.
5. that the undersigned is responsible for ensuring that the proposed development will be comprised of
qualified low-income buildings and that it will in all respects satisfy all applicable requirements of federal
tax law and any other requirements imposed upon it by VHDA prior to allocation, should one be issued.

undersigned as to the inclusion of costs in eligible basis and as to all of the figures and calculations relative
to the determination of qualified basis for the development as a whole and/or each building therein
individually as well as the amounts and types of credit applicable thereof, but that the issuance of a
reservation based on such representation in no way warrants their correctness or compliance with IRC
requirements.
7. that VHDA may request or require changes in the information submitted herewith, may substitute its own
figures which it deems reasonable for any or all figures provided herein by the undersigned and may reserve
credits, if any, in an amount significantly different from the amount requested.

6. ALLOCAnON OF INCOME AND LOSS.
6.1 Determination.
The Net Income or Net Loss of the Company for each fiscal year will be
determined according to the accounting principles employed in the preparation of the
Company's federal income tax information return for that fiscal year. In computing Net
Income or Net Loss for purposes of allocation between Members, no special provision
will be made for tax-exempt or partially tax-exempt income ofthe Company, and all
items of the Company's income, gain, loss or deduction required to be separately stated
under Code §703(a)(1) will be included in the Net Income or Net Loss ofthe Company.
(A) First to the Members who have negative Capital Accounts immediately
preceding the transaction giving rise to the Net Income or Gain, in proportion to their
negative Capital Accounts, until all negative Capital Accounts have been increased to
zero; and
(A) First, to the Members who have positive Capital Accounts immediately
preceding the transaction giving rise to the Net Loss or Loss from Sale, in proportion to
their positive Capital Accounts, until all positive Capital Accounts have been reduced to
zero; and
1173820vl
17
Regulations §§ 1.704-1 (b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5), and (6). Any Net Loss that cannot be
allocated to a Member under the preceding sentence will be reallocated to the other
Members in order to allocate the maximum possible amount of Net Loss to· all Members.
If any Net Loss is reallocated to another Member under this section, 100 percent of the
Net Income ofthe Company allocable to the Members for all subsequent fiscal years will
be specially allocated to such other Member until the aggregate Net Income specially
allocated to such Member equals the aggregate Net Loss that have been reallocated to
such Member. If Net Income is specially allocated to more than one Member under this
section, the Net Income for any given fiscal year will be divided between such Members
in proportion to the amount of the aggregate Net Loss that have been reallocated to each
such Member and have not been offset by special Net Income allocations as of the
beginning of the fiscal year.
(F) If an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any asset of the Company
required under Code §§734(b) or 743(b) must be taken into account, under Regulations
§1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), in determining the capital accounts of Members, the amount of the
adjustment to the capital accounts will be treated as an item ofgain (if the adjustment
increases basis) or loss (if the adjustment decreases basis), and such gain or loss will be
specially allocated to the Members in a manner consistent with the manner in which their
capital accounts are to be adjusted under the Regulations.
1173820,1
19
The special allocations required under the preceding subsections of this section are
intended to comply with requirements of the Regulations. The Members desire that, to
the extent possible, all such special allocations be offset either with other additional
special allocations or with special allocations of other items of Company income, gain,
loss, or deduction. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement relating to the
allocation of profits and losses (other than the section relating to regulatory allocations),
offsetting special allocations of Company income, gain, loss or deduction will be made in
whatever manner the Manager reasonably determines appropriate so that, after such
offsetting allocations are made, the Capital Account of each Member is, to the extent
possible, equal to the Capital Account the Member would have had if the regulatory
allocations were not part of this Agreement and all items of Company income, gain, loss,
deduction and credit were allocated pursuant to the sections of this Agreement relating to
allocation of Net Income and Net Loss and to special allocations relating to losses.
6.6 Prorates.
If a Member has not been a Member during a full fiscal year of the Company, or
if a Member's Interest changes during a fiscal year, the Net Income or Net Loss for the
year will be allocated to the Member based only on the period oftime during which the
Member was a Member or held a particular Interest. In determining a Member's share of
the Net Income or Net Loss for a fiscal year, the Manager may allocate the Net Income or
Net Loss ratably on a daily basis using the Company's usual method of accounting.
Alternatively, the Manager may separate the Company's fiscal year into two or more
segments and allocate the Net Income or Net Loss for each segment among the Persons
who were Members, or who held particular Interests, during each segment based upon
their Interests during that segment.
7. DISTRIBUTIONS.
7.1 Distributions of Net Cash Flow, Net Proceeds from Sale or Financing.
(A) All distributions of Net Cash Flow, Net Proceeds from Sale or Financing
shall be made as follows:

accrued interest and then to the principal amount ofthe Special Contributions. Said
distributions under this subparagraph shall be made to the Member(s) which have made
1173820vI
20
Special Contributions in proportion to the unpaid principal amount of said Special
Contributions.
(B) All distributions shall be made from time to time in such amounts and at
such times as the Manager may determine; provided, however, that the aggregate amount

Mortgagor upon satisfaction of the above requirements for Final Closing, subject to the limitations and conditions in this
Agreement. If the total proceeds of the Mortgage Loan disbursed prior to the Final Closing (excluding any monthly
payments of principal) shall exceed the maximum principal amount described in subsection (e) of this Section, the
amounts held in such escrow account shall, to the extent of such excess, be released to the Authority at Final Closing and
applied to the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, and the amount of the monthly payment of principal
and interest shall be reduced to an amount which will fully amortize the then outstanding principal balance (as so reduced)
under the Note at the interest rate provided therein over its remaining term. The amounts held by the Authority in the
aforesaid escrow account shall be additional security under the Mortgage for the repayment of the indebtednesses and for
(d) The Mortgagor agrees to be bound by all of the requirements and terms of the Cost

accordance therewith within ninety (90) days after Substantial Completion as defined in the General Conditions. The
Mortgagor further agrees and understands that any costs determined by the Authority not to be in conformance with the
Cost Certification Guide shall not be includable in the Total Development Cost under Section 6(e) below.
Without limiting the foregoing, in the event that the Mortgage Loan is fina]1ced in whole or in part with
the proceeds of bonds the interest on which is not included in gross income for federal income tax purposes, the
restrictions and limitations applicable to such financing, as set forth in the Cost Certification Guide, shall apply with
respect to the funding of costs or the portion thereof which are includable in the Total Development Cost. In the event of
a failure to comply with such restrictions and limitations, the Authority shall have the right to exclude costs from the
Total Development Cost and to reduce the principal amount of the Mortgage Loan in the manner and to the extent
determined by the Authority, on the advice of its bond counsel, to be necessary to cause the Mortgage Loan to be in
compliance with such restrictions and limitations. The determination of the Authority, acting with the advice of its bond
counsel, shall be conclusive and binding on the Mortgagor.
(e) The Mortgagor agrees that the principal amount of the Mortgage Loan proceeds shall not
exceed Ninety-Five percent (95 %) of the Total Development Cost as approved by the Authority after the Mortgagor has
furnished the Certificates of Actual Cost required under Section 6(c) of this Agreement. As used herein, Total
Development Cost shall mean the total cost of the improvements constructed upon the Property as certified by the
General Contractor and approved by the Authority and all other costs to the extent such other costs are certified by the
Mortgagor and approved by the Authority, all in accordance with the terms and requirements of this Agreement and the
Cost Certification Guide.

specified in Section 6(e) of this Agreement, as approved by the Authority, it will pay to the Authority upon demand any
such excess for application to the reduction of the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan or, if deemed
necessary or appropriate by the Authority, for application to the operating reserve account for the Development
established under the terms and conditions of the Regulatory Agreement.

thereof, of any changes in relationship subsequent to the execution of this Agreement which will result in the Mortgagor
having an identity of interest relationship with any subcontractor, material or labor supplier, or equipment lessor. It is
agreed that the absence of such notice may be treated by the Authority as a representation that no such change in
relationship has occurred.
(c) The Mortgagor agrees that if there comes into being any identity of interest (as defined in the
Cost Certification Guide) between the Mortgagor and the Architect or between the General Contractor and the Architect,
the Architect will be relieved immediately of inspection duties and the maximum Architect's fees allowable for cost
certification purposes will be the amount shown in the Commitment for design services only. In such event, the
Mortgagor will promptly engage a new Architect satisfactory to the Authority to perform the inspection functions. No
fees will be allowed to the identity of interest Architect for supervision services.

accounts, books and records for the Development and to make same available for examination and copying by
representatives of the Authority upon request. The records shall include, without limitation, billings, subcontracts,

necessary action in accordance therewith to cause the General Contractor to comply with the covenants, terms and
conditions therein applicable to the General Contractor.

disbursement hereunder, in an account separate from other funds, for application only to the items for which such
disbursement was requested and approved and shall account and be responsible therefor in the manner provided in this
Agreement.

times remain in balance. The Mortgage Loan shall be deemed to be in balance only when the undisbursed proceeds of the
Mortgage Loan (other than reserves, fees, expenses and other deposits required by the Authority and any funds withheld
by the Authority pursuant to Section 6(b) hereof pending the leasing and occupancy of units as specified therein) equal or
exceed the amount necessary (based on the Authority's estimate of the cost of construction) to pay for (a) all work
completed and all materials delivered, for which payment has not been made, and (b) the cost of completing construction
of the Development in accordance with the Drawings and Specifications or Work Write-up.

payment the Mortgagor shall submit, in duplicate, an affidavit by the Mortgagor and General Contractor on the form
required by the Authority certifying that there are no liens, claims or demands by subcontractors, materialmen, laborers,
employees or other third persons and indemnifying the Authority against same. In the event the Authority at any time
becomes aware of a claim or demand against the Mortgagor, Contractor or the Authority by any person, firm or
corporation furnishing labor or materials for the construction of the Development, the Authority may (but shall not be
obligated to) withhold from any disbursements hereunder, in order to protect its interests as lender, an amount equal to
one hundred fifty (150%) percent of the amount of such claim or demand until such time as the Authority determines that
the claim or demand is finally resolved. The Mortgagor shall indemnify the Authority against all loss, cost, damage and
expense (including attorneys' fees) incurred by the Authority in connection with such claim or demand, and the Authority
shall have the right to reimburse itself for any such loss, cost, damage and expense from any undisbursed Mortgage Loan
proceeds, including any funds withheld from disbursement pursuant to this section.

by the Authority. In connection with any application for disbursement, the Mortgagor shall (if required by the Authority)
cause the General Contractor to furnish an updated survey in the manner required by the Construction Contract. Upon
completion of construction, the Mortgagor shall cause the Contractor to furnish to the Authority a final survey and
certificate as required by the Construction Contract. Prior to the Final Closing of the Mortgage Loan, the Mortgagor shall
submit a final endorsement to the title insurance policy which shall, in addition to the requirements set forth above,
update all matters set forth therein to the date of Final Closing and eliminate those exceptions to title applicable only
during the construction period, and said final endorsement shall otherwise be in such form and provide such coverage as
the Authority shall require.

of its knowledge, (a) the Development as proposed complies with all zoning laws, ordinances and regulations, all building

if the Mortgagor fails to commence, diligently continue or complete construction of the Development, or any part thereof,
strictly in accordance with this Agreement and the Contract Documents, or (iv) if the Mortgagor otherwise fails to
comply with any of the terms hereof, the Mortgage, or any other agreement or instrument rylating to the Mortgage Loan,
any such failure shall, if not corrected to the satisfaction of the Authority within fifteen days after notice thereof by the
Authority to the Mortgagor, be a default hereunder and the Authority, at its option, and in addition to all other rights and
remedies, may terminate this Agreement and pursue its rights and remedies under the Note and Mortgage. If the
Authority so elects to terminate this Agreement, any funds deposited by the Mortgagor with the Authority may be applied
by the Authority in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage. If the Authority elects not to terminate this Agreement, it
may take possession of the Property and all eq uipment and materials of the Mortgagor and perform any and all work and
labor necessary to complete the improvements substantially according to the Drawings and Specifications or Work Write-
up in such manner and subject to such conditions as the Authority may elect and may employ watchmen to protect the
Development from injury. All sums expended by the Authority shall be deemed to have been advanced to the Mortgagor
pursuant to the Note and secured by the Mortgage. For this purpose, the Mortgagor hereby constitutes and appoints the
Authority its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution in the premises, to complete the
Development in the name of the Mortgagor. The Mortgagor hereby empowers said attorney as follows:

or Work Write-up as shall be necessary or desirable to complete the Development in substantially the manner
contemplated by same;

the Property, or as may be necessary or desirable for the completion of the Development, or for clearance of title;
(v) To execute all applications and certificates in the name of the Mortgagor which may
be required by any documents relating to construction of the Development;
(vi) To prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with the Property or
the construction of the Development and to take such action and require such performance as it deems necessary under
the accepted assurance of completion; and
(vii) To do any and every act which the Mortgagor might do in its own behalf.
(b) It is further understood and agreed that the foregoing power of attorney, which shall be
deemed to be a power coupled with an interest, cannot be revoked.
(c) No waiver of default shall be effective unless in writing and signed on behalf of the Authority,
and no waiver of any default or forbearance on the part of the Authority in enforcing any of its rights under this
Agreement shall create as a waiver of any other default on a future occasion or of any such right.
19. Right of Access; Inspections. The Authority and its agents shall have the right of entry and
free access to the Development and right to inspect all work done, and materials, equipment and fixtures furnished,

protection of the Authority, and neither the Mortgagor nor any other party shall be entitled to rely upon such inspections
or the results therefrom for any purpose whatsoever, including without limitation the assertion of (a) any claim or defense

or other modification of the rights of the Authority or the obligations of the Mortgagor hereunder.

in the case of certified mail, three (3) days after date of mailing.
22. Authority Disclaimer. The Drawings and Specifications or Work Write-up, the General
Contractor and the materials, supplies and equipment to be used in connection therewith have been selected by the
23. Assignment. As used in this Agreement, the term "Authority" shall be deemed to include any
persons to whom the Note and Mortgage referred to above shall be assigned by the Authority. This Agreement may not
be assigned by the Mortgagor without the prior written consent of the Authority. This instrument shall be binding upon
the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

sums or the performance of any act required by the terms of this Agreement and if such default is not cured to the
satisfaction of the Authority within fifteen (15) days after notice thereof by the Authority to the Mortgagor, the Authority

of your application for a mortgage loan (the "Mortgage Loan") for the financing of the captioned proposed multi-family
rental housing development (the "Development"), located or to be located on certain property more particularly described
in Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof (the "Property"), subject to your full and timely compliance with all
applicable provisions of the Virginia Housing Development Authority Act, being Chapter 1.2 of Title 36 of the Code of
Virginia of 1950, as amended (the "Act"), the Rules and Regulations of the Authority, and the following terms and
conditions:
Subject to the terms hereof, the principal amount of the Mortgage Loan shall be the lesser of Four
Million Seven Hundred Twenty Thousand Dollars and Zero Cents ($4,720,000.00) or Ninety-Five percent (95%) of the
Total Development Cost of the Development as determined by the Authority in accordance with Section 9 hereof.
2. Mortgage Loan Interest Rate (Taxable Bond and VHFIREACH Virginia or HIP Financing; Initial and
Permanent Rates).
The Authority is to provide the financing for Three Million Seven Hundred Seventy Thousand Dollars
and Zero Cents ($3,770,000.00) original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan under its standard multi-family mortgage
loan program (the "Standard Program"), and the Authority's Virginia Housing Fund and/or REACH Virginia program
(the "VHFIREACH Program") is to provide financing for the remaining Nine Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars and Zero
Cents ($950,000.00) original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan.
The portion of the Mortgage Loan to be financed under the Standard Program shall bear interest at an
initial interest rate (as determined by the Authority in accordance with this Section 2) from the date of the Deed of Trust
Note referenced below to, but not including, the effective date of the permanent interest rate (such effective date to be
established on the Lock-in Date by the Authority as the day following the expiration of the time period which shall
commence on the Lock-in Date and which shall continue for such period of time, not to exceed 24 months, as the
Mortgagor shall specify in its request for the Lock-in Date pursuant to this Section 2) and shall thereafter bear interest at a
permanent rate (as determined by the Authority in accordance with this Section 2).
Subject to the provisions of Section 14 hereof, the initial interest rate and the permanent interest rate on
the portion of the Mortgage Loan to be financed under the Standard Program shall be determined by the Authority as of
such date (the "Lock-in Date") as shall be requested by the Mortgagor within Sixty (2Q) days after the date that this
Commitment becomes effective in accordance with the requirements of Section 14a(l) hereof (which Lock-in Date may
be the date of such request, if received by the Authority on or before 3:00 p.m. on such date, or any date thereafter within
Sixty (2Q) days after such effective date of this Commitment), but in no event shall such initial interest rate and
permanent interest rate exceed Seven and Twenty-Five One-Hundredths percent (7.25%) per annum (the "Maximum
Interest Rate"). If the Mortgagor shall fail to so request a Lock-in Date within Sixty (2Q) days after such effective date of
this Commitment, the Authority shall have the right to terminate this Commitment, and in the event of such termination,
the Financing Fee (as set forth in Section 5 hereof) and the letter of credit or cash, as applicable, delivered pursuant to
Section 14a(l) hereof shall be returned by the Authority to the Mortgagor.

shall be Four and Seventy-Five One-Hundredths percent (4.75%) per annum.
During the period that interest only is due and payable on the Mortgage Loan, the interest rate on the
Mortgage Loan shall be the rate that will result in interest only payments on the Mortgage Loan that are equal to the sum
of the interest only payments on all of the portions of the Mortgage Loan. During the period that monthly payments of
principal and interest are due and payable on the Mortgage Loan, the interest rate on the Mortgage Loan shall be the rate,
as determined by the Authority, that will result in a monthly payment of principal and interest on the Mortgage Loan

is equal to the total of the monthly payments of principal and interest that would fully amortize the principal amounts of
the portions of the Mortgage Loan financed under the above described Programs at their respective interest rates over the
term of the Mortgage Loan as set forth in Section 3 hereof.
Beginning on the first day of the month following the Closing and on the first day of each and every
month thereafter until and including the first day of the month preceding the month in which monthly payments of
principal and interest are commenced, the Mortgagor shall pay to the Authority all interest then due on the Mortgage
Loan. The first monthly payment of principal and interest on the Mortgage Loan shall be due on the first day of the
Eighteenth (18th) month following the month in which the Deed of Trust is dated or on such later date as may be

equal payments of principal and interest in such amount as shall be established by the Authority. The maturity and final
payment date of the Mortgage Loan shall be Twenty-Nine (W years and Eleven (11) months following the due date of
