acknowledged, Owner intends, declares, and covenants that the regulatory and restrictive
covenants set forth herein governing the use, occupancy, and transfer of the Property shall be and

SECTION 1 REPRESENTATIONS, COVENANTS AND WARRANTIES OF OWNER
Owner hereby represents, covenants and warrants as follows:
a. It is contemplated that the Property and the Project will be used, during the ninety-nine
years after Project Completion (defined as the last of the following events: the Property is
acquired, rehabilitated, if necessary, and the last of the five dwelling units is occupied by
a low-income family), for owner-occupied housing to families earning up to 60%of HUD
area median income. In the event Owner sells, transfers or exchanges the Property or any
portion of the Property,the following shall pertain:
1. Subject to the requirements of the DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT (Exhibit B
hereto), the HOME Investment Partnership Program and this Declaration, Owner may
sell, transfer, or exchange the Property to a non-profit fund, foundation, or
corporation of like purpose which is organized and operated exclusively for charitable
and educational purposes and which has established its tax exempt status under
Section 501 (c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, or to Orange County; provided,
however, Owner shall obtain the written agreement, in form satisfactory to Orange
County, of any buyer or successor or other person acquiring the Property or any
interest therein, that such acquisition is subject to the requirements of this Declaration
rt
and to the requirements of the DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT and the HOME
INVESTEMENT PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM. Owner agrees that County may void
any sale, transfer, or exchange of the Property or any portion of this Property if the
buyer or successor or other person fails to assume in writing the requirements of this
Declaration and the requirements of the DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT and the
HOME INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM.
2. Any assignment, sale, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of the Property or any
part of the Property other than as described in subparagraph 1 above, whether
voluntary or involuntary or by operation of law shall be subject to the provisions of
SECTION 4 of this Declaration.
b. Owner will, at the time of execution, delivery and recording of this Declaration, have
good and marketable title to the Property, free and clear of any lien or encumbrance (except
encumbrances created pursuant to this Declaration or other permitted encumbrances).
c. Owner warrants that it has not and will not execute any other declaration with provisions
contradictory to, or in opposition to, the provisions hereof, and that in any event, the
requirements of this Declaration are paramount and controlling as to the rights and obligations
herein set forth and supersede any other requirements in conflict herewith.
SECTION 2 TERM OF DECLARATION
a. This Declaration, and the Terms of Affordability specified herein, apply to the Property
immediately upon recordation, and Owner shall comply with all restrictive covenants herein.
This declaration shall terminate ninety-nine years after Project Completion, unless Orange
HOME Investment Partnership Program affordability restrictions are terminated due to the sale
of the Property to a non-qualified buyer as provided herein.
SECTION 3 RECORDING AND FILING; COVENANTS TO RUN WITH
THE LAND
a. Upon execution of this Declaration by Owner, Owner shall cause this declaration and all
amendments hereto to be recorded and filed in the Office of the Register of Deeds of Orange
County.
b. Owner intends, declares and covenants, on behalf of itself and all future Owners of the
Project during the term of this Declaration, that this Declaration and the covenants and
restrictions set forth in this Declaration regulating and restricting the use, occupancy and transfer
of the Property (1) shall be and are covenants running with the land, encumbering the Property
for the term of this declaration, binding upon Owner's successors in title and all subsequent
Owners of the Property; (2) are not merely personal covenants of Owner; and (3) shall bind
Owner(and the benefits shall inure to Orange County and any past, present or prospective owner
of the Property) and its respective successors and assigns during the term of this Declaration.
Owner hereby agrees that any and all requirements or privileges of estate are intended to be
satisfied, or in the alternate, that an equitable servitude has been created to insure that these
restrictions run with the Property. For the term of this Declaration, each and every contract, deed
or other instrument hereafter executed conveying the Property or portion thereof shall expressly
provide that such conveyance is subject to this Declaration, provided, however, the covenants
F
contained herein shall survive and be effective regardless of whether such contracts, deed, or
other instrument hereafter executed conveying the Property or portion thereof provides that such
conveyance is subject to this Declaration. It is further the responsibility of Owner to rerecord the
Declaration of Restrictive Covenants periodically and no less often than one day less than every
30 years from the date hereof for the purpose of renewing the rights of first refusal in the
Property or portion thereof including any leasehold interest in the Property or portion thereof.
Orange County retains the right to, periodically and every 30 years after the first recording of the
Declaration of Restrictive Covenants on the Property to register, with the Register of Deeds of
Orange County, a notice of preservation of the Restrictive Covenants on the Property as provided
in North Carolina General Statute § 47B-4 or any comparable preservation law in effect at the
time of the recording of the notice of preservation. It is the intent of this Section that the 99 year
duration of this Declaration of Restrictive Covenants be accomplished and that any future owner
of the Property, Habitat, and Orange County will do what is necessary to ensure that the same is
not extinguished by N.C. Gen. Stat. § 41-29 or any comparable law purporting to extinguish, by
the passage of time, preemptive rights in the Property and by the Real Property Marketable Title
Act or any comparable law purporting to extinguish, by the passage of time, non possessory
interests in real property. Any future owner, Habitat and Orange County agree to do what each
must do to accomplish the 99-year duration of this Declaration of Restrictive Covenants.
SECTION 4 ENFORCEMENT OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING
REQUIREMENTS
A. Rights of Refusal
a. Grant and Effect. Orange County is granted a right of first refusal to purchase
the Property as described in this Section. Any assignment, sale, transfer, conveyance, or
other disposition of the Property or any part thereof whether voluntarily or involuntarily
or by operation of law ("Transfer") shall not be effective unless and until the below-
described procedure is followed.
b. Right of First Refusal. If Owner contemplates a Transfer to other than an
agency with similar interest in affordable housing serving families with incomes not
exceeding 80% of the area median household income by family size, as determined by the
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development at the time of the transfer, the non-
profit fund, foundation, or corporation of like purposes must have established its tax-
exempt status under Section 501 (c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Owner shall send to
Orange County, at the address noted in the Notice section of this Declaration, not less
than 90 days prior to the contemplated closing date of the Transfer, a"Notice of Intent to
Sell." This Notice of Intent to Sell shall be accompanied by a copy of a completed, fully
executed bona fide offer to purchase the Property on the then current North Carolina Bar
Association "Offer to Purchase and Contract" form. If Orange County elects to exercise
its said right of refusal, it shall notify the Owner of its election to purchase within 30 days
of its receipt of the Notice and shall purchase the Property or portion thereof within 90
days of the receipt of the"Notice of Intent to Sell."
c. Sales After Failure to Exercise Rights of Refusal. If Orange County does not
advise Owner in a timely fashion of an intent to purchase the Property, then Owner shall
y4
be free to transfer the property in accordance with this Section.
d. Assignability. Orange County may assign its right of first refusal without Owner's
consent.
B. Resale Provisions
a. If the buyer no longer uses the Property as a principal residence or is unable to
continue ownership, then the buyer must sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of
their interest in the Property only to a qualified homebuyer, i.e., a low-income
household, one whose combined income does not exceed 80%of the area median
household income by family size, as determined by the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development at the time of the transfer, to use as their
principal residence.
b. However, if the property is sold during the term of affordability to a non-qualified
homebuyer, the Right of First Refusal provision of the New and Existing First-
Time Homebuyer Program portion of the County's Long-Term Housing
Affordability Policy must be followed and the net sales proceeds (sales price less:
(1) selling cost, (2)the unpaid principal amount of the original first mortgage and
(3)the unpaid principal amount of the initial County contribution and any other
initial government contribution secured by a deferred payment promissory note
and deed of trust) or"equity"will be divided 50/50 by the seller of the Property
and the County.
c. The resale provisions shall remain in effect for the full affordability period—99 years.
C. Owner covenants that it will not knowingly take or permit any action that would result in
a violation of the affordability requirements of Orange County or of the HOME Investment
Partnership Program. Orange County, together with Owner, may execute and record any
amendment or modification of this Declaration and such amendment or modification shall be
binding on third parties granted rights under this Declaration.
D. Owner acknowledges that the primary purpose for requiring compliance by Owner with
restrictions provided in this Declaration is to assure compliance with the affordability
requirements of Orange County and the HOME Investment Partnership Program, AND BY
REASON THEREOF, OWNER IN CONSIDERATION FOR RECEIVING HOME
INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM FUNDS FOR THE PROPERTY HEREBY
AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ORANGE COUNTY SHALL BE ENTITLED, FOR ANY
BREACH OF THE PROVISIONS HEREIN, AND IN ADDITION TO ALL OTHER
REMEDIES PROVIDED BY LAW OR IN EQUITY, TO ENFORCE BY SPECIFIC
PERFORMANCE OWNER'S OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS DECLARATION IN A STATE
COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION, WITH VENUE IN ORANGE COUNTY. Owner
hereby further specifically acknowledges that the beneficiaries of Owner's obligations hereunder
cannot be adequately compensated by monetary damages in the event of any default hereunder.
E. This Declaration may be enforced by Orange County or its designee in the event Owner
fails to satisfy any of the requirements of this Declaration by proceedings at law or in equity
against any person or persons violating or attempting to violate any covenant. If legal costs are
incurred by Orange County, such legal costs, including attorney fees and court costs (including
costs of appeal), are the responsibility of, and may be recovered from the Owner.
