income level, then none of the principal would be due, but if the purchaser is of a higher income

Agency herein, the Owner may convey the Unit to Qualified Persons on the condition that (i) the
Owner complies with the requirements of Sections 8 and 9 hereof, (ii) the purchaser covenants to
occupy the Unit as such party's sole principal residence, and (iii) the purchase price does not

designee's option, a new Unit Regulatory and Lien agreement and shall execute in recordable
form any documents necessary to accommodate the transfer.

breaches of this Agreement: transfer by gift, devise, or inheritance to the Owner's spouse; taking

divorce or dissolution proceeding; acquisition of title in conjunction with marriage; transfers of title
to an adult child when the child is approved by the Agency's Executive Director or his designee as
a Qualified Person at the time of transfer. A transfer to children of the Owner who are not
Qualified Persons shall give rise to the option in favor of the Agency to acquire the Unit described
in Section 8 hereof; provided, however, such option to acquire shall be exercised by the Agency
within 60 days after receipt by the Agency or its designee of written notice of such transfer, and
the purchase price shall be the amount set forth in Section 8(e).
(c) First Trust Deed - Purchase. The Owner may encumber the Unit with
a first position deed of trust securing a purchase money loan on the condition that the first position
trust deed complies with the terms of this Agreement.
(d) Refinancing of First Trust Deed. Subject to compliance with the
, I. .\1 ROSE i.\,.1rri:6� I_iIORYA.:REVNfFNi 10*'.. <A\iri.t: 4
provisions of Section 10 hereof, the Owner may refinance a first deed of trust encumbering the
Unit provided that the Agency's Executive Director or his designee has previously reviewed and
approved the terms and conditions thereof including, but not limited to, the principal amount of the
proposed loan, the interest rate, the terms of repayment, the identity of the maker of the proposed
loan, any documentation pertaining to the subordination or enforcement of the Agency's loan and
related security documents, the costs and fees associated with the making of the proposed loan,
and the Owner shall have received the written approval of the proposed loan by the Agency's
Executive Director or his designee prior to the date of its closing. Any refinancing of a first deed of
trust which has not been previously approved by the Agency's Executive Director or his designee
as herein above described shall constitute a default under this Agreement and shall, at the option
of the Agency or its designee, result in the acquisition of the unit by the Agency and/or in an
acceleration of the Note requiring the Owner to immediately repay the Note in full.
(e) Junior Trust Deeds. Subject to compliance with the- provisions of
Section 10 hereof, the Owner may enter into a loan secured by a deed of trust or mortgage junior
and subordinate to the Deed of Trust provided that (i) the proceeds of each loan shall be used
solely to pay for repairs or the construction of improvements to the Unit, and (ii) the Agency's
Executive Director or his designee has previously reviewed and approved the terms and
conditions thereof, including, but not limited to, the principal amount of the proposed loan, the
interest rate, the terms of repayment, the identity of the maker of the proposed loan, the costs and
fees associated with the making of the proposed loan, and the nature and costs of the proposed
repairs or the construction of improvements, to be paid with the proceeds thereof, and (iii) the
Owner shall have received the written approval of the proposed loan by Agency's Executive
Director or his designee prior to the date of its closing, (iv) the proceeds of the proposed loan shall
not be used to pay for the construction of improvement of a luxury nature such as, in or above
ground pools or spas, or interior or exterior decorative items, or other improvements where the
reasonable useful life does not exceed 5 years. The failure of the Owner to comply fully with the
provisions of this Section 6(e) when entering into a loan which is secured by a deed of trust or
mortgage junior and subordinate to the Deed of Trust shall constitute a default under this
Agreement and shall, at the option of the Agency or its designee, result in the acquisition of the
Unit by the Agency and/or in an acceleration of the Note requiring the Owner to repay the Note in
full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Agency agrees that the Owner may encumber the Unit
with a third, junior deed of trust securing a loan from the County of Riverside's Economic
Development Agency pursuant to its First Time Home Buyer Program, provided that the amount of
such loan does not exceed the lesser of $20,000.00 or 20% of the Owner's purchase price of the
property.

7. Subordination to First Trust Deed Encumbrances.
(a) The Agency recognizes that Owner may be entering into a purchase
money loan to acquire the Unit and also recognizes that immediately prior to the recordation
hereof the Owner is or may be recording a deed of trust in connection with such financing that
shall be superior to this Agreement and the Deed of Trust, and the Agency agrees that, in such
event, such deed of trust recorded prior hereto shall be superior to this Agreement and the Deed
of Trust. A default of such deed of trust will also be deemed a default of this Unit Regulatory and
Lien Agreement and Deed of Trust in favor of the Agency, if any. Therefore, in the event of the
foreclosure of such deed of trust, or the conveyance by deed in lieu of foreclosure of the Unit to a
bank, savings and loan, or other institutional lender that is the beneficiary of such deed of trust,
the provisions hereof shall terminate and be of no force or effect; provided, however, if the senior
lien holder acquires title to the Unit pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure, then the terms hereof
shall terminate only if (i) the Agency has been given written notice of a default under the senior
deed of trust and (ii) the Agency shall not have cured the default under the senior deed of trust, or
diligently pursued the curing of the default, within 60 days after the date the notice is received by
the Agency or its designee.
(b) The Agency further agrees that, in the event of a refinancing of a deed
of trust that was superior to the lien of the Deed of Trust, and which such refinancing complied in
all respects to the requirements of Section 6(d) hereof, the Agency agrees to execute a
subordination agreement, in form and substance acceptable to the Agency or its designee,
subordinating this Agreement and the Deed of Trust to any first deed of trust, in favor of any bank,
savings and loan association, or other institutional lender which makes a loan to refinance the
Loan for the purchase of the Unit and which secures the obligations under such loan, subject to
the following terms and conditions:
(i) The principal amount of the new loan does not exceed the
original principal amount of the loan being refinanced, plus reasonable loan fees and costs up to a
maximum of five percent (5%) of the original principal amount, unless Agency or its designee has
provided written authorization otherwise.
(ii) The terms and provisions of the loan secured by such deed of
trust, including interest rate, term, amortization, fees, acceleration clauses, late payment charges,
and prepayment charges, shall conform substantially to the provisions in the lender=s loan
documents for comparable loans, unless deviations are given written approval in advance of the
subordination by the Agency's Executive Director or his designee.
(iii) The Owner shall deliver to the Agency or its designee true and
accurate copies of the loan agreement, proposed promissory note, deed of trust, and a written
statement from the Owner certifying that such documents are true and accurate copies of the loan
documents which the Owner intends to execute in connection with the loan; and
(iv) The Agency or its designee may condition any such
subordination upon its receipt of a title policy or endorsement from a reputable title company, at
the Owner's sole cost and expense, assuring that this Agreement and the Deed of Trust are not
UGSERl
being subordinated to any liens or encumbrances other than those imposed by the deed of trust or
mortgage securing such new loan as the result of such subordination.
If the Agency, at the election by the Executive Director or his designee, has advanced any
sums to any senior lien holders such amounts shall immediately be due and payable by the
Owner to the Agency, together with interest accrued thereon at the maximum legal rate permitted
under California usury laws, upon the closing of any refinancing or sale.
8. Agency Option to Purchase.
(a) Option. In order to maintain and insure that the Unit shall remain
affordable to and only occupied by Qualified Persons, the Agency is hereby granted an option,
throughout the Term hereof, to purchase the Unit if the Owner desires to transfer the Unit, or to
find another Qualified Person to purchase the Unit. The option shall be exercised in writing by
the Agency or its designee, if at all, within 60 days after the Agency's Executive Director or his
designee's receipt of the written notice (the "Notice of Proposed Sale") of the Owner's desire to
transfer the Unit (as more fully described in Section 9(a) hereof). During such 60 day period
Owner may also concurrently attempt to market the Unit to sell it to a Qualified Person, as
provided in Section 9 hereof. The Owner may enter into an agreement to sell the Unit to a
Qualified Person (previously approved by the Executive Director of the Agency or his designee) at
a price that does not exceed the maximum price set forth in Section 11 hereof. In such event, the
Agency shall not then exercise the option to purchase the Unit or find another Qualified Person to
purchase the Unit. If the Agency or its designee exercises the option to purchase the Unit, then
the Agency's Executive Director or his designee shall promptly open escrow therefor and shall
close escrow for the purchase of the Unit prior to the date that is 60 days after the Agency opens
escrow. Title to the Unit shall be delivered to the Agency at the close of escrow free and clear of
monetary liens and encumbrances, and closing costs shall be allocated in the fashion as is
customary for buyers and sellers in Riverside County.
(b) Agency's Failure to Close Following Exercise of the Option to Purchase
the Unit. If the Agency or its designee exercises the option to purchase the Unit but, due to the
Agency's sole fault, the Agency does not close escrow within 60 days after the date the Agency's
Executive Director or his designee opens escrow, then the Owner shall be entitled to sell the Unit
to a person or family that is not a Qualified Person; provided, however, (i) if the Unit is sold to a
person or family that is not a Qualified Person, or (ii) if the Unit is sold at a price that exceeds the
maximum resale price set forth in Section 11 hereof, then the Owner shall repay the Loan
(including all accrued interest thereon) to the Agency as provided in Section 9(c), below, plus an
amount equal to 25% of the amount by which the net sale proceeds received by the Owner ("net
sale proceeds" being the gross sale proceeds minus customary and reasonable costs of sale
incurred by the Owner, including brokerage commissions, and adjusted for reasonable pro -
rations) exceeds the maximum resale price set forth in Section 11 hereof.
(c) Terms of Purchase. If the Agency or its designee exercises the option
to purchase the Unit, the purchase price to be paid by the Agency shall be paid all in cash at the
close of escrow. The Owner may require a deposit to open escrow in an amount not to exceed
three percent (3%) of the purchase price. Title to the Unit shall be delivered to the Agency at the
DESERT ROS I'\11 REGI'1_\IORY:\GREE\1F.\T 0"6 ?\mrn
close of escrow free and clear of monetary liens and encumbrances. Closing costs shall be
allocated between the buyer and seller according to the customary practices in Riverside County
in effect at the time the option is exercised.
(d) Conditions to Close of Escrow. The escrow instructions may provide
for conditions or contingencies of the type and nature customarily included in residential purchase
escrows (including but not limited to inspection by the Agency and elimination of pests, and
preliminary title report approvals), provided that any such conditions or contingencies (other than
the status of title to the Unit at the time of conveyance and other conditions which by their nature
cannot be satisfied prior to closing) must be satisfied or waived on or before the close of escrow.
The proceeds of the sale shall be used to pay off all monetary liens and encumbrances upon the
close of escrow. Escrow shall close within 60 days after the opening of escrow.
(e) Purchase Price. The purchase price of the Unit to be paid by the
Agency pursuant to the Agency's exercise of the option shall be the lesser of:
(i) The actual purchase price paid by the Owner for the Unit plus
reasonable and customary escrow closing and title costs (described in Section 2(e) hereof)
actually incurred by the Owner in purchasing such Unit, times a fraction, the numerator of which is
the AMI for the year in which the sale takes place, and the denominator of which is AMI in which
the Owner purchased the Unit (and subtracting therefrom the amount of the Loan, which the
Agency shall assume from the Owner); or
(ii) the maximum resale price determined pursuant to Section 11(a)
hereof, assuming that the Agency, as purchaser, is of the same income level as was the Owner at
the time the Owner purchased the Unit; or
(iii) the fair market value of the Unit, as determined by an appraiser
approved by the Agency or its designee.
9. Resale Price Controls and Procedures.
(a) If the Owner elects at any time to sell the Unit, then the Owner shall,
prior to signing a listing agreement or other authorization to sell with a real estate broker, first
provide to the Agency's Executive Director or his designee the Notice of Proposed Sale setting
forth the Owner's intention to sell the Unit. Such Notice of Proposed Sale shall contain
information about the Owner's original purchase price of the Unit and such other information as
the Agency shall require. Agency or its designee shall have sixty (60) days from the time following
the receipt by the Agency or its designee of the Notice of Proposed Sale to find a new buyer for
the Unit being sold, or sixty (60) days to exercise the Agency or its designee's option to purchase
described in Section 8 hereof; provided, however, the Agency or its designee may shorten such
time period upon a showing of hardship by the Owner. The Owner agrees to consider as
purchasers those Qualified Persons identified on a list that may be maintained by the Agency's
Executive Director or his designee. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as imposing on
the Agency any obligation to find a purchaser of the Unit if the Owner has elected to sell the Unit.

(b) If the Owner resells the Unit to a Qualified Person at a price that does
not exceed the price set forth in Section 11 hereof, then the provisions hereof shall continue to
encumber the Unit, and the Agency or its designee, if necessary, shall subordinate its interest in
this Agreement and the Deed of Trust as provided in Section 7 hereof. Each successor in interest
to Owner that is a Qualified Person shall acquire the Unit subject to the continuation of the
restrictions on such property provided in this Agreement and the Deed of Trust; and if Agency
purchases such property and resells the Unit, such acquisition shall not operate to merge this
Agreement and the Deed of Trust into Agency's fee interest.
(c) If, after expiration of the sixty (60) day period, Agency or its designee
has failed to procure an acceptable and qualified buyer and the Agency or its designee has not
exercised its option to purchase the Unit, then the Owner shall then be free to seek a buyer for the
Unit without any limitation on resale price or income level of the purchaser; provided, however, (i)
if the purchaser is not a Qualified Person, or (ii) if the resale price exceeds the maximum resale
price set forth in Section 11(a) hereof, then the Owner shall repay the Loan (and all accrued
interest thereon) to the Agency, plus an amount equal to 25% of the amount by which the net sale
proceeds received by the Owner exceed the maximum resale price set forth in Section 11(a)
hereof.
(d) The escrow instructions may provide for conditions or contingencies of
the type and nature customarily included in residential purchase escrows (including but not limited
to financing contingencies, inspection rights, and preliminary title report approvals), provided that
any such conditions or contingencies (other than the status of title to the Unit at the time of
conveyance and other conditions which by their nature cannot be satisfied prior to closing) must
be satisfied or waived on or before the close of escrow. The proceeds of the sale shall be used to
pay off all monetary liens and encumbrances upon the close of escrow. Escrow shall close within
a reasonable time after opening thereof.
(e) The Owner shall notify any proposed purchaser in writing prior to such
person's execution of escrow instructions, deposit receipt, purchase and sale agreement or similar
agreement, whichever is earliest, that the title to the Unit will be restricted as provided in this
Agreement.
(f) The Owner may require a deposit to open escrow in an amount not to
exceed three percent (3%) of the purchase price. Title to the Unit shall be delivered to the
purchaser at the close of escrow free and clear of monetary liens and encumbrances, except as
provided for in this Agreement. Closing costs shall be allocated between the buyer and seller
according to the customary practices in Riverside County in effect at the time the escrow is
opened.
(g) For the purpose of confirming with the Agency that a proposed
purchaser is a Qualified Person that will be paying a purchase price that is in compliance with the
terms hereof, the Owner shall notify the Agency's Executive Director or his designee in writing of
any offer from a prospective purchaser which the Owner intends to accept, disclosing the identity
of such prospective purchaser and providing the Agency's Executive Director or his designee with
such financial, credit, and other information on such prospective purchaser as required by the
Agency, including the following:

(viii) Most recent federal and state income tax returns of the purchaser
and all other members of the purchaser's household for the preceding two (2) calendar years, and
verification of the proposed purchaser's salary or wages from the purchaser's employer or from
current pay stubs showing year to date as well as period payroll for the preceding two (2) calendar
years.
(ix) Copy of any proposed purchase and sale agreement, escrow
instructions, loan application, or other agreements between the Owner and the purchaser of the
Unit or relating to the sale of the Unit including closing documents or any other documentation that
the Agency's Executive Director or his designee deems appropriate to implement this Agreement.
(x) A written statement signed by the proposed purchaser that the Unit
will be occupied by the purchaser and used as his or her sole residence.
In lieu of providing the foregoing information, these requirements shall be deemed to have been
satisfied by delivery to the Agency of a written certification of the foregoing information from the
purchaser's lender who shall hold a first position trust deed encumbering the Unit, which
certification shall be furnished to Agency's Executive Director or his designee at least 20 days
prior to the close of escrow for the Unit.
The Agency's Executive Director or his designee shall have 30 days from the date of its
receipt by the Agency to review the information (unless the Agency received the certification from
prospective purchaser's lender, in which case the Agency's Executive Director or his designee
shall have 15 days to review the information). If the Agency or its designee fails to approve the
purchaser within such period of time, then the purchaser shall be deemed approved by the
Agency. The Agency's Executive Director or his designee may require the purchaser to submit
other written documentation reasonably requested by the Agency to verify the information set forth
herein and to determine that the Affordable Housing Cost restrictions of this Agreement shall be
satisfied. If the Agency's Executive Director or his designee receives all such prospective
purchaser information requested by the Agency, the Agency's Executive Director or his designee
N-SERI ROSE. I'XII REGA I.:\IORYAGRGI.\IF`1 1010
shall determine whether the prospective purchaser is a Qualified Person, and shall thereafter
immediately notify the Owner in writing that the prospective sale is authorized and approved, or
that the prospective purchaser does not qualify to purchase the Unit as a Qualified Purchaser.
The Agency hereby designates the Executive Director of the Agency or his designee to make the
evaluations, reviews and determinations set forth in this Section 9(g). If the Agency notifies the
Owner that the sale is authorized and approved, the Owner shall proceed to complete the sale of
the Unit within 75 days of the date of such approval from the Agency.
10. Notification Prior to Mortgage Encumbrance or Hypothecation. If Owner
desires to refinance any loan secured by a first trust deed encumbering the Unit, pursuant to
Section 6(d) hereof, or to borrow funds for a new loan to be secured by a junior trust deed
encumbering the Unit the proceeds of which are to be used to pay for repairs or the construction
of improvements to the Unit, pursuant to Section 6(e) hereof, prior written approval of the
Agency's Executive Director or his designee is required. Only loans encumbering the Unit
pursuant to Section 6 will be allowed. The Owner must request such approval in writing at least
30 days prior to the recordation of a deed of trust or mortgage securing any such refinancing or
loan, the Owner shall submit to the Agency's Executive Director or his designee in writing the
following information:
term, and loan fees.
(a) Name and address of lender.

designee.
The Agency's Executive Director or his designee shall have 20 working days after its receipt of all
of such information to approve or disapprove the proposed refinancing or loan.

the Owner shall not resell the Unit at a price higher than the lesser of the following:
(a) An Affordable Housing Cost (as defined in Section 2(b) hereof) for the
prospective purchaser, assuming (i) a reasonable down payment, and (ii) a 30 year fixed rate
mortgage at prevailing interest rates.
(b) The sum of:
(i) the selling Owner's original purchase price of the Unit times a
1`I:1;I:RI ROSF.I NI R6GI'1:\T(--)RY,SGRF.F\1F\1 SAMPLE 1 I
fraction, the numerator of which is the AMI for the year in which the sale takes place, and the
denominator of which is AMI in which the Owner purchased the Unit; plus
(ii) escrow costs, title insurance premiums paid, and other
customary closing costs and fees as described in Section 2(e) hereof; plus
(iii) if the Owner sells the Unit after a default under a mortgage or
deed of trust, but prior to a trustee's sale or foreclosure sale, all expenses actually incurred by the
holder of such mortgage or beneficiary under such deed of trust due to the Owner's default
including, but not limited to, trustee's fees, attorney's fees, costs of sale and debt service on the
debt secured by such mortgage or deed of trust will be paid from Owner's proceeds.
(c) the fair market value of the Unit, as determined by an appraiser
approved by the Agency or its designee.
12. Repayment of the Loan. Upon any resale of the Unit, the Loan shall be due
and payable, except as follows:
If the resale of the Unit is to another Qualified Person and, at the option of the
Agency's Executive Director or his designee, such purchaser either executes an assumption
agreement (and such other documents as the Agency's Executive Director or his designee may
require) evidencing the assumption of this Agreement, the Note and the Owner's obligations
thereunder, or executes and delivers a new Unit Regulatory and Lien Agreement, Note and Deed
of Trust (subject only to such prior liens as the Agency's Executive Director or his designee shall
approve), then (i) all interest accrued from the date of the Owner's acquisition of the Unit through
the closing date of the resale to the new Qualified Person shall be paid at close of escrow of such
resale, (ii) interest shall then accrue from and after the closing date of the resale (with such
accrued interest again to be subject to payment upon another resale to yet another Qualified
Person), and (iii) the principal amount of the Loan shall be due only to the extent that the
purchase price paid by the purchaser exceeds the amount that would have been the maximum
resale price to another purchaser at the same income level as was the Owner's at the time of the
Owner's original acquisition of the Unit. (Thus, if the seller and the purchaser are of the same
income level, then none of the principal would be due, but if the purchaser is of a higher income
level, then it is possible that some of the principal may be due because the maximum resale price
calculated pursuant to Section 11(a) hereof, may be higher if the purchaser is of a higher income
level than was the Owner at the time of the Owner's acquisition of the Unit.) At the end of the
Term hereof, if there have been no resales to any person or family other than a Qualified Person,
the principal balance outstanding and any accrued interest shall be forgiven by the Agency subject
to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 5(b) hereof.
13. Annual Report. The Agency shall have the option of requiring that the Owner
provide, on an annual basis, such information as the Agency's Executive Director or his designee
deems necessary to implement this Agreement.
14. Nondiscrimination Covenants. By the Owner's acceptance hereof, the Owner
agrees, for itself, its successors and assigns, to refrain from restricting the transfer of the Unit on
the basis of race, color, creed, religion, ancestry, sex, marital status, national origin or age of any
person. All such deeds entered into with respect to the Unit shall contain or be subject to
substantially the following nondiscrimination or nonsegregation clauses:
"The grantee herein covenants by and for himself or herself, his or her heirs,
executors, administrators, and assigns, and all persons claiming under orthrough them, that there
shall be no discrimination against or segregation of, any person or group of persons on account of
race, color, creed, religion, sex, marital status, national origin, or ancestry in the sale, lease,
sublease, transfer, use, occupancy, tenure, or enjoyment of the premises herein conveyed, nor
shall the grantee or any person claiming under or through him or her, establish or permit any such
