mix specified in Section 6.
7.2. Determination of Qualifying Household income shall be made by the Owner at
the time of initial application by an individual or family for occupancy of a Qualifying Unit. At
the time of initial application, the Owner shall require an applicant to complete the Income
Certification Form and certify the accuracy of the information provided on such form. On or
before March 31 of each calendar year during the Term, the Owner shall require each Qualifying
Household occupying a Qualifying Unit to recertify the Qualifying Household's income on the
Income Certification Form. The Owner shall make a good faith effort to verify the accuracy of
income information provided in any Income Certification Form by an applicant for occupancy of

1603\40\2894895.1
more of the following steps, as reasonably required or indicated: (1) obtain an income tax return
and copy of each W2 Wage and Earnings Statement for the most recently concluded income tax
year; (2) conduct a credit reporting agency or similar search; (3) obtain an income verification
form from the applicant's or the Qualifying Household's current employer(s); (4) obtain an
income verification form from the United States Social Security Administration and/or the
California Department of Social Services, if the applicant or the Qualifying Household receives
assistance from either of such agencies; or (5) if the applicant or an adult member of a
Qualifying Household is unemployed and has no such income tax return, obtain another form of
independent verification. For purposes of this Section 7.2, the Owner may conclusively rely
upon the evidence of the age of the occupant(s) of a Qualifying Unit as presented in a valid
California Driver's License, other form of identification issued by the State of California or the
United States Government, which includes a date of birth. All such verification information
shall only be obtained by the Owner after obtaining the applicant's or the Qualifying
Household's written consent for the release of such information to the Owner. Failure to consent
in writing to the release of such income verification information to the Owner may disqualify an
applicant for occupancy of a Qualifying Unit or be grounds for termination of Qualifying
Household's occupancy of a Qualifying Unit.
7.3. The Qualifying Units are not specifically assigned to any qualifying income
category (i.e., 30% Household, 50% Household, 60% Household or 70% Household). The
restricted income level of each Qualifying Unit may change as Qualifying Units become vacant,
a Qualifying Household tenant's income changes or other Qualifying Units are occupied by
Qualifying Households. In all circumstances, though, the rent for each Qualifying Unit shall be
an Affordable Rent for the Qualifying Unit as necessary to maintain the restricted income tenant
mix required under Section 6. If, upon any recertification, the income of a previously Qualifying
Household exceeds one hundred forty percent (140°/x) of the qualifying income for a 60%
Household, then the Owner or Management Agent shall notify such household that its lease for
its Qualifying Unit will not be renewed upon the expiration of its lease, unless the household
again becomes a Qualifying Household upon recertification prior to the expiration of its lease. In
any event, if the income category of a Qualifying Household upon recertification is different
from the previous income of the Qualifying Household (i.e. a 30% Household becomes a 50%
Household, a 60% Household or a 70% Household; a 50% Household becomes a 30%
Household, a 60% Household or a 70% Household; a 60% Household becomes a 30%
Household, a 50% Household or a 70% Household; or 70% Household becomes a 30%
Household, a 50% Household or a 60% Household; or any similar change in the income of a
Qualifying Household tenant of the Project), the Owner or Management Agent shall rent the next
available Unit to a Qualifying Household with an income level that will maintain the tenant
income level mix set forth in Section 6. To the extent the federal low-income housing tax credit
requirements conflict with the requirements in this Section 7.3 relative to the continued
occupancy by households that do not qualify as Qualifying Households, the federal low-income
housing tax credit requirements shall apply in place of the provisions in this Section 7.3.
7.4. The Owner shall maintain on file all Income Certification Forms completed by
applicants for occupancy of Qualifying Units and by Qualifying Households that occupied or are
occupying Qualifying Units in accordance with Section 6 and shall provide copies of the rent roll
and Income Certification Forms to the City for its review and approval within fifteen (15) days
following Notice to the Owner.
61147.00145\32162314, 2

permit the City to conduct inspections of the Property, the Project and each Qualifying Unit,
from time -to -time, for purposes of verifying compliance with this Regulatory Agreement, upon
fifteen (15) days prior written notice to the Owner.
7.6. The Owner shall submit its first Annual Report to the City on the April 30th
immediately following the issuance of the final Certificate of Occupancy for the Project by the
City. Thereafter, on each April 30 during the Term, the Owner shall submit an Annual Report to
the City. The City shall maintain the confidentiality of the information contained in any Annual
Report specifically relating to any particular Qualifying Household occupying a Qualifying Unit,
to the extent reasonably allowed by Law, as determined by the City's general or special counsel.
8. The Owner Covenant Regarding Lease of Qualifying Units.. The Owner, for itself, its
successors and assigns, covenants and agrees that, if any Qualifying Unit is rented or leased

extent that a tenant must be a Qualifying Household.
9. Non -Discrimination. All units in the Project shall be available at an Affordable Rent for
occupancy on a continuous basis to Qualified Households. Except as provided in Sections 8.5.3

cancelled, suspended, voided, reduced in coverage or in limits, except after thirty (30) calendar
days' advance written notice of such action has been given to the City by certified mail, return
receipt requested; provided that if a thirty (30) days' notice of cancellation endorsement is not

1603\40\2894895.1
for any such action arising from non-payment of the premium for the insurance. Phrases such as
"endeavor to" and "but failure to mail such Notice shall impose no obligation or liability of any
kind upon the company" shall not be included, to the extent commercially available, in the
cancellation wording of any certificates or policies of insurance applicable to the City Parties
pursuant to this Regulatory Agreement.
Waiver of Certain Claims. The Owner shall cause each insurance carrier
providing insurance coverage under this Regulatory Agreement to endorse their applicable
policy(ies) with a Waiver of Subrogation with respect to the City Parties, if not already in the
policy. To the extent that the Owner obtains insurance with a Waiver of Subrogation, the parties
release each other, and their respective authorized representatives, from any claims for damage
to any person or property to the extent such claims are paid by such insurance policies obtained
pursuant to and in satisfaction of the provisions of this Regulatory Agreement.
No Claims Made Coverage. None of the insurance coverage required
under this Regulatory Agreement may be written on a claims -made basis.
11.2.3. Fully Paid and Non -Assessable. All insurance obtained and maintained by
the Owner pursuant to this Section 11.2 shall be fully paid for and non -assessable. However,
such insurance policies may be subject to insurer audits.
11.2.4. City Option to Obtain Coverage. During the continuance of an Event of
Default arising from the failure of the Owner to carry any insurance required by this Regulatory
Agreement, the City may, at its option, purchase any such required insurance coverage and the
City shall be entitled to immediate payment from the Owner of any premiums and associated
reasonable costs paid by the City for such insurance coverage. Any amount becoming due and
payable to the City under this Section 11.2.4 that is not paid within fifteen (15) calendar days
after written demand from the City for payment of such amount, within an explanation of the
amounts demanded, will bear interest from the date of the demand at the rate of eight percent
(8%) per annum or the maximum interest rate allowed by applicable law, whichever is less. Any
election by the City to purchase or not to purchase insurance otherwise required by the terms of
this Regulatory Agreement to be carried by the Owner shall not relieve the Owner of its
obligation to obtain and maintain any insurance coverage required by this Regulatory
Agreement.
11.2.5. Separation of Insured. The Owner's Liability Insurance and Automobile
Liability Insurance policies shall provide for separation of insured for the Owner and the City
Parties. Insurance policies obtained in satisfaction of or in accordance with the requirements of

retentions under insurance policies required by this Regulatory Agreement shall be declared to
and approved by the City. The Owner shall pay all such deductibles or self-insured retentions

this Section 11.2 shall eliminate such deductibles or self-insured retentions with respect to the
City Parties.

1603\40\2894895.1
11.2.7. No Separate Insurance. The Owner shall not carry separate or additional
insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that required under this
Regulatory Agreement, unless the City is made an additional insured thereon, as required by this
Regulatory Agreement.
11.2.8. Insurance Inde endent of Indemnification. The insurance requirements of
this Regulatory Agreement are independent of the Owner indemnification and other obligations
under this Regulatory Agreement and shall not be construed or interpreted in any way to satisfy,
restrict, limit, or modify the Owner's indemnification or other obligations or to limit the Owner's
liability under this Regulatory Agreement, whether within, outside, or in excess of such
coverage, and regardless of solvency or insolvency of the insurer that issues the coverage; nor
shall the provision of such insurance preclude the City from taking such other actions as are
available to it under any other provision of this Regulatory Agreement or otherwise at law or in
equity.
11.2.9. Nature of Insurance. The policies of insurance required by this Regulatory
Agreement shall be issued by carriers that: (a) are listed in the current "Best's Key Rating
Guide—Property/Casualty—United States & Canada" publication (or its equivalent, if such
publication ceases to be published) with a minimum financial strength rating of "A-" and a
minimum financial size category of "XI" (exception may be made for the California
Compensation Insurance Fund when not specifically rated); and (b) are authorized to do business
in California. The Owner may provide any insurance under a "blanket" or "umbrella" insurance
policy, provided that: (1) such policy or a certificate of such policy shall specify the amount(s) of
the total insurance allocated to the Property and the Project, which amount(s) shall equal or
exceed the amount(s) required by this Regulatory Agreement; and (ii) such policy otherwise
complies with this Regulatory Agreement.
12. Maintenance of the Pro'ect. The Owner, for itself, its successors and assigns, hereby
covenants and agrees that the exterior areas of the Project which are subject to public view (e.g.:
all improvements, paving, walkways, landscaping, and ornamentation) shall be maintained in
good repair and in a neat, clean and orderly condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted. In the
event that at any time during the Term, there is an occurrence of an adverse condition on any
area of the Project which is subject to public view in contravention of the general maintenance
standard described above ("Maintenance Deficiency"), then the City shall notify the Owner in
writing of the Maintenance Deficiency and give the Owner thirty (30) calendar days from the
date of such notice to cure the Maintenance Deficiency as identified in the notice. "Maintenance
Deficiency" includes, without limitation, the following inadequate or non -conforming property
maintenance conditions and/or breaches of residential property use restrictions: (i) failure to
properly maintain the windows, structural elements, and painted exterior surface areas of the
units in a clean and presentable manner; (ii) failure to keep the common areas of the Project free
of accumulated debris, appliances, inoperable motor vehicles or motor vehicle parts, or free of
storage of lumber, building materials or equipment not regularly in use on the Property; (iii)
failure to regularly maintain, replace and renew the landscaping in a reasonable condition free of
weed and debris; and (iv) the use of garage areas on the Project for purposes other than the
parking of motor vehicles and the storage of personal possessions and mechanical equipment of
persons residing in the Project.
61147.00145\32162314, 2 12
1603\40\2894895,1
12. 1. In the event the Owner fails to cure or commence to cure the Maintenance
Deficiency within the time allowed, the City may thereafter conduct a public hearing following
transmittal of written notice thereof to the Owner ten (10) calendar days prior to the scheduled
date of such public hearing in order to verify whether a Maintenance Deficiency exists and
whether the Owner has failed to comply with the provision of this Section 12. If, upon the
conclusion of a public hearing, the City makes a finding that a Maintenance Deficiency exists
and that there appears to be non-compliance with the general maintenance standard, as described
above, then the City shall have the right to enter the Project (exterior areas of the Project which
are subject to public view only) and perform all acts necessary to cure the Maintenance
Deficiency, or to take other action at law or equity that the City may then have to accomplish the
abatement of the Maintenance Deficiency. Any sum expended by the City for the abatement of a
Maintenance Deficiency as authorized by this Section 12.1 shall become a lien on the Project. If
the amount of the lien is not paid within thirty (30) calendar days after written demand for
payment by the City to the Owner, the City shall have the right to enforce the lien in the manner
as provided in Section 12.3.
12.2. Graffiti which is visible from any public right-of-way which is adjacent or
contiguous to the Project shall be removed by the Owner from any exterior surface of a structure
or improvement on the Project by either painting over the evidence of such vandalism with a
paint which has been color -matched to the surface on which the paint is applied, or graffiti may
be removed with solvents, detergents or water as appropriate. In the event that graffiti is placed
on the Project (exterior areas only) and such graffiti is visible from an adjacent or contiguous
public right-of-way and thereafter such graffiti is not removed within seventy-two (72) hours
following the time of its application, or the Owner's actual knowledge of its existence,
whichever occurs later; then in such event and without notice to the Owner, the City shall have
the right to enter the Project and remove the graffiti. Notwithstanding any provision of the
Regulatory Agreement to the contrary, any sum expended by the City for the removal of graffiti
from the Project as authorized by this Section 12.2 shall become a lien on the Project. If the
amount of the lien is not paid within thirty (30) calendar days after written demand for payment
by the City to the Owner, the City shall have the right to enforce its lien in the manner as
provided in Section 12.3.
12.3. The parties hereto further mutually understand and agree that the rights conferred
upon the City under this Section 12 expressly include the power to establish and enforce a lien or
other encumbrance against the Property in the manner provided under California Civil Code
Sections 2924, 2924b and 2924c, as such sections may be amended or superseded, in the amount
as reasonably necessary to restore the Project to the maintenance standards required under this
Section 12, including attorneys fees and costs of the City associated with the abatement of the
Maintenance Deficiency or removal of graffiti and the collection of the costs of the City in
connection with such action. In any legal proceeding for enforcing such a lien against the
Project, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees and costs of suit. The
provisions of this Section 12 shall be a covenant running with the land for the Term and shall be
enforceable by the City in its discretion, cumulative with any other rights or powers granted to
the City under applicable law. Nothing in the foregoing provisions of this Section 12 shall be
deemed to preclude the Owner from making any alterations, additions, or other changes to any
structure or improvement or landscaping on the Project, provided that such change's comply with
the zoning and development regulations of the City and other applicable law.
61147.00145\32162314. 2 13
1603\40\2894895.1
12.4. Capital Replacement Reserve Account. The Owner shall establish an account for
the payment of repair and replacement of capital items ("Capital Replacement Reserve
Account") in an initial amount as required by the Institutional Lenders for the Project or the
investor limited partner of the Owner. Each year thereafter, the Owner shall deposit into the
Capital Reserve Replacement Account additional amounts as required by the Institutional
Lenders for the Project or the investor limited partner of the Owner, but not less than Two
Hundred Fifty Dollars ($250) per Unit per year.
12.4.1. Capital Repairs_ and Replacements. Capital repairs and replacements shall

surface flooring; replacement of drapes; replacement of dishwashers, garbage disposals and other
interior appliances; repair and replacement of heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems,
equipment and components; and installation of solar panels. All of the foregoing and other
similar expenditures on the Project shall be considered to be qualifying capital repair and
replacement expenses. Interior painting and servicing, repair or replacement of interior hardware
shall not be considered to be a capital repair, but shall be ordinary operating expenses for the
Project. The Owner shall withdraw funds from the Capital Replacement Reserve Account to pay
such capital repair and replacement expenses as the Owner may deem necessary for the purposes
of meeting the maintenance and replacement obligations described herein.
12.4.2. Insured Depository. The Capital Replacement Reserve Account shall be
maintained in a depository insured by an agency of the federal government.
12.4.3. Documentation. Annually, or more frequently at the City's, the Owner
shall document the level of capital repairs and replacements for the preceding period. The
Owner shall maintain and shall provide as requested documentation showing the quantity and
price of items purchased, price of materials and the cost of contracted labor or other services
incurred in connection with such capital repair and replacement, and such other items as the City
may reasonably request.
12.4.4. Withdrawals from Reserve Account. On an annual basis, the Owner shall
notify the City of the anticipated cash requirements which will need to be withdrawn from the
Capital Replacement Reserve Account. Amounts so budgeted and approved by the City may be
withdrawn by the Owner from the indicated Capital Replacement Reserve Account without
further the City approval. Other withdrawals for unbudgeted, unanticipated or emergency
Project expenditures may be withdrawn by the Owner without prior the City approval, but the
Owner shall notify the City in writing within ten (10) calendar days after withdrawal. All
amounts so withdrawn by the Owner shall be expended on the Project and in accordance with
this Regulatory Agreement. Withdrawals in excess of Twenty -Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000)
in any one calendar year shall be pre -approved by the City in its reasonable discretion, subject to
the rights of any Senior Lenders or the investor limited partner of the Owner.
12.4.5. Interest Earned on Funds in the Capital Replacement Reserve Account.
Any interest or other earnings from sums deposited into the Capital Replacement Reserve
Account shall be retained in and added to the balance in said account.
61147.00145\32162314. 2 14
1603\40\2894895.1
12.4.6. Capital Needs Assessment. If requested in writing by the City, the Owner
shall deliver to the City, for the City's reasonable review and approval, a capital needs
assessment ("CNA") no more often than every ten (10) years after the date of the Certificate of
Completion for the Project. The CNA shall include an analysis of the Owner's actual
expenditures for capital needs compared to the most recently approved CNA, the Owner's
original operating budget and its then -current operating budget. Each CNA shall include a ten
(10) year capital needs assessment or analysis of replacement reserve requirements prepared by a
qualified third party in accordance with reasonable and customary standards for similar
residential rental projects.
12.4.7. Displacement of Residents and Relocation. The Owner shall make best
efforts to conduct capital repairs and replacements and ordinary repair and maintenance
(collectively, "Repairs") in good faith and in a manner that does not result in the displacement
of any of the residents of the Units. If any of the Owner's actions to conduct Repairs result in
displacement of any of the Units' residents, the Owner shall notify the City in writing, prior to
conducting such Repairs, of the identities of the residents to be displaced, the Units they will be
displaced from, and the estimated length of time such residents shall be displaced. If the
displacement of the residents triggers relocation obligations, the Owner shall be responsible, at
its sole cost and expense, for any and all such relocation obligations and related expenses. The
Owner shall comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations
regarding such relocation obligations and related expenses, including any relocation
requirements set forth by the City. The Owner shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the
City Parties from and against all liability for any relocation obligations and related expenses
attributable to any Repairs.
13. Covenants to Run With the Land. The Owner and the City hereby declare their specific
intent that the covenants, reservations and restrictions set forth herein are part of a plan for the
promotion and preservation of affordable housing within the territorial jurisdiction(s) of the City
and that each shall be deemed covenants running with the land and shall pass to and be binding
upon the Property and each successor -in -interest of the Owner in the Property for the Term. The
Owner hereby expressly assumes the duty and obligation to perform each of the covenants and to
honor each of the reservations and restrictions set forth in this Regulatory Agreement. Each and
every contract, deed or other instrument hereafter executed covering or conveying the Property
or any interest therein shall conclusively be held to have been executed, delivered and accepted
subject to such covenants, reservations, and restrictions, regardless of whether such covenants,
reservations and restrictions are set forth in such contract, deed or other instrument.
14. Burden and Benefit. The City and the Owner hereby declare their understanding and
intent that the burden of the covenants set forth herein touch and concern the land in that the
Owner's legal interest in the Property is affected by the affordable dwelling use and occupancy
covenants hereunder. The City and the Owner hereby further declare their understanding and
intent that the benefit of such covenants touch and concern the land by enhancing and increasing
the enjoyment and use of the Property by the intended beneficiaries of such covenants,
reservations and restrictions, and by furthering the affordable housing goals and objectives of the
City and in order to make the Property available for acquisition by the Owner.
15. Defaults.
61147,00145\32162314, 2 15
1603\40\2894895.1
15. 1. Events of Default. The occurrence of any of the following is a default and shall
constitute a material breach of this Regulatory Agreement and, if not corrected, cured or
remedied in the time period set forth in Section 15.2, shall constitute an "Event of Default"
hereunder:
15.1.1. failure of the Owner or any person under its direction or control to comply
with or perform when due any material term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in this
Regulatory Agreement;
15.1.2. any warranty, representation or statement made or furnished to the City by
the Owner under this Regulatory Agreement that is false or misleading in any material respect
either now or at the time made or furnished;
15.1.3. the dissolution or termination of the existence of the Owner as an ongoing
business, insolvency, appointment of a receiver for any part of the Property of the Owner, any
assignment for the benefit of creditors, any type of creditor workout or the commencement of
any proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws by or against the Owner; or
15.1.4. an Event of Default pursuant to the Affordable Housing Agreement.
15.2. Notice of Default. The City shall give written notice of default to the Owner, in
accordance with Section 22, stating that such notice is a "Notice of Default", specifying the
default complained of by the City and requiring the default to be remedied within thirty (30)
calendar days of the date of the Notice of Default. Except as required to protect against further
material damage, the City may not institute legal proceedings against the Owner until thirty (30)
calendar days after providing the Notice of Default. Failure or delay in giving a Notice of
Default shall not constitute a waiver of any default, nor shall it change the time of occurrence of
the default. If the default specified in the Notice of Default is such that it is not reasonably
capable of being cured within thirty (30) calendar days, and if the Owner initiates corrective
action within said thirty (30) calendar day period and diligently works to effect a cure as soon as
possible, then the Owner may have such additional time as authorized in writing by the City as
reasonably necessary to complete the cure of the default prior to exercise of any other remedy for
the occurrence of an Event of Default. Such authorization for additional time to cure shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The City shall give the investor limited partner
in the Owner the following notice and cure rights:
15.2.1. The City will give the limited partner a copy of any Notice (at the limited
partner's address provided in a notice by the Owner to the City) that the City gives to the Owner
under this Regulatory Agreement, provided that Owner has provided the address and contact
information for the investor limited partner in writing to the City;
15.2.2. The City will give the limited partner thirty (30) days after the limited
partner's receipt of such Notice to cure a non-payment of any sum due under this Regulatory
Agreement;
15.2.3. The City will give the limited partner sixty (60) days after the limited
partner's receipt of such Notice to cure any other default under this Regulatory Agreement;
61147.00145\321623 14. 2 16
1603\40\2894895.1
15.2.4. If a non -monetary default is incapable of being cured within sixty (60)
days, the City will give the limited partner an additional ninety (90) days to cure such default
provided the limited partner has commenced to cure such default and is diligently proceeding to
cure such default through the end of such period; and
15.2.5. If the limited partner makes any such payment or otherwise cures such
default, the City will accept such action as curing such default as if such payment or cure were
made by the Owner.
If the Owner fails to take corrective action relating to a default within thirty (30) calendar days
following the date of Notice of Default (or to complete the cure within the additional as may be
authorized by the City or set forth above for the limited partner of the Owner), an Event of
Default shall be deemed to have occurred.
15.3. Inaction Not a Waiver of Default. Any failure or delays by the City in asserting
any of its rights and remedies as to any default shall not operate as a waiver of any default or of
any such rights or remedies. Delays by the City in asserting any of its rights and remedies shall
not deprive the City of its right to institute and maintain any actions or proceedings which it may
deem necessary to protect, assert or enforce any such rights or remedies.
16. Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the City shall, in addition to the
remedial provisions of Section 12 as related to a Maintenance Deficiency at the Property, be
entitled to seek any appropriate remedy or damages by initiating legal proceedings as follows: (i)
by mandamus or other suit, action or proceeding at law or in equity, to require the Owner to
perform its obligations and covenants hereunder, or enjoin any acts or things which may be
unlawful or in violation of the rights of the City; or (ii) by other action at law or in equity as
necessary or convenient to enforce the obligations, covenants and Agreements of the Owner to
the City.
16.1. Rights and Remedies are Cumulative. The rights and remedies of the City as set
forth in this Section 16 are cumulative and the exercise by the City of one or more of such rights
or remedies shall not preclude the exercise by it, at the same or different times, of any other
rights or remedies for the same default or any other default by the Owner.
16.2. Enforcement by Third Parties. No third party shall have any right or power to
enforce any provision of this Regulatory Agreement on behalf of the City or to compel the City
to enforce any provision of this Regulatory Agreement against the Owner or the Project.
17. Governing Law. This Regulatory Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State
of California and applicable federal laws, without regard to its conflicts of laws principles.
18. Amendment. This Regulatory Agreement may be amended after its recordation only by a
written instrument executed by the Owner and the City.
19. Attorney's Fees. In the event that a party to this Regulatory Agreement brings an action
to enforce any condition or covenant, representation or warranty in this Regulatory Agreement or
otherwise arising out of this Regulatory Agreement, the prevailing party(ies) in such action shall
be entitled to recover from the other party reasonable attorneys' fees to be fixed by the court in

the words "reasonable attorneys' fees," in the case of the City, shall include the salaries, costs
and overhead of the City Attorney as well as any other legal counsel hired by the City in such
action, as allocated on an hourly basis.
20. Severability. If any provision of this Regulatory Agreement shall be declared invalid,
inoperative or unenforceable by a final judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction
such invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the remaining parts of this
Regulatory Agreement which are hereby declared by the parties to be severable from any other
part which is found by a court to be invalid or unenforceable.
21. Time is of the Essence. For each provision of this Regulatory Agreement which states a
specific amount of time within which the requirements thereof are to be satisfied, time shall be
deemed to be of the essence.
22. Notices, Demands and Communications Between the Parties. Any and all notices
submitted by any party to another party pursuant to or as required by this Regulatory Agreement
shall be dispatched by messenger for immediate personal delivery, or by registered or certified
United States mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to the address of the party, as set
forth in this Section. Such notice may be sent in the same manner to such other addresses as any
[arty may from time to time designate by notice. Any notice shall be deemed to be received by
the addressee, regardless of whether or when any return receipt is received by the sender or the
date set forth on such return receipt, on the day that it is dispatched by messenger for immediate
personal delivery, or two (2) calendar days after it is placed in the United States mail, as
provided in this Section. Rejection, other refusal to accept or the inability to deliver any notice
because of a changed address of which no notice was given or other action by a person or entity
to whom notice is sent, shall be deemed receipt of the notice.
