result in forfeiture of the Property or otherwise materially impair the lien created by this Security Instrument
or Beneficiary/Lender's security interest. Grantor/Borrower may cure such a default and reinstate, as
provided in Paragraph 19, by causing the action or proceeding to be dismissed with a ruling that, in
Beneficiary/Lender's good faith determination, precluded forfeiture of the Grantor/Borrower's interest in
the Property or other material impairment of the Lien created by this Security Instrument
Beneficiary/Lenders security interest. Grantor/Borrower shall also be in default if Grantor/Borrower,
during the loan application process, gave materially false or inaccurate information or statements to

with the loan evidenced by the Note, including, but not limited to, representations concerning (i)
Grantor/Borrower's occupancy of the Property as a principal residence and(ii)Grantor/Borrower's income.
If this Security Instrument is on a leasehold, Grantor/Borrower shall comply with all the provisions of the
lease. If Grantor/Borrower acquires fee title to the Property,the leasehold and the fee title shall not merge
unless Beneficiary/Lender agrees to the merger in writing.

Grantor/Borrower's principal residence during the term of such agreement which is ten(10)years from the
date of the Deed of Trust being , 2021. The violation of any use and occupancy restrictions may,
if not prohibited by federal law, entitle the Beneficiary/Lender to the remedies provided in Section 23
hereof.
8. Protection of Beneficiary/Lender's Rights in the Property. If Grantor/Borrower fails to
perform the covenants and agreements contained in this Security Instrument, or there is a legal proceeding
that may significantly affect Beneficiary/Lender's rights in the Property (such as a proceeding in
bankruptcy, probate, for condemnation or forfeiture or to enforce laws or regulations), then
Beneficiary/Lender may do and pay for whatever is necessary to protect the value of the Property and
Beneficiary/Lender's rights in the Property. Beneficiary/Lender's actions may include paying any sums
secured by a lien which has priority over this Security Instrument(including sums secured by the first Deed
of Trust), appearing in Court, paying reasonable attorney's fees and entering on the Property to make
repairs. Although Beneficiary/Lender may take action under this Paragraph 8,Beneficiary/Lender does not

refuse to extend time for payment or otherwise modify amortization of the sums secured by this Security
Instrument by reason of any demand made by the original Grantor/Borrower or Grantor/Borrower's

and 24 CFR 92.254, Qualifications as affordable housing.
Other requirements shall apply:
• The participants will pay up to $5,000.00 to cover the costs of legal services rendered because of a
breach of any of the terms and conditions of this contract.
• Specific documentation will be required to calculate HOME and CDBG funds and net proceeds.
In addition to the recapture restrictions to be incorporated in the deed of sale and promissory note, other
provisions will be established to guarantee that the units remain affordable for subsequent homebuyers.
These provisions include the following considerations:
• A provision restricting refinancing and subsequent mortgages of the property, without the written
consent of the Beneficiary/Lender. Refinancing will be limited to capital improvements without
equity return. This restriction is necessary, as refinancing with cash return will have the effect of
reducing the profit at resale thus violating the purpose of resale/recapture provisions. In addition,
a higher monthly payment after refinancing could represent a risk of foreclosure due to income
adjustments.
• A requirement that the property will be used as the principal residence of the homebuyer(s) will not
be leased, converted, sold, donated, and permuted to other such use without written consent of the
Beneficiary/Lender.
If, on the sale, lease, lease with an option to purchase, transfer or other disposition (including any
contract for deed) of all or any interest in the Property, I still owe amounts under this Note, Note
Holder may require payment in full of sums owed hereunder as ore specifically provided by the
Second Lien Deed of Trust(hereinafter defined)and the date upon which Note Holder requires such
payment in full is called the"maturity date."
19 HOME/CDBG.2nd lien Deed of Trust,Note and Rider.
Any payments required will be made to the City of Port Arthur at 444 4th Street, Port Arthur, Texas
77640. I will make these payments every month until I paid all of the principal and interests, if any, and
any other charges described below that I may owe under this Note. If interest is charged on the Loan, my
monthly payments will be applied to interest before principal.
GRANTOR/BORROWER'S RIGHT TO REPAY
I have the right to make payments of principal at any time before they are due. A payment of principal
only is known as a"prepayment." When I make a prepayment, I will tell the Note Holder in writing that I
am doing so.
I may make a full prepayment or partial prepayments without paying any prepayment charge. The Note
Holder will use all of my prepayments to reduce the amount of principal that I owe under this Note. If I
make a partial prepayment,there will be no changes in the due date.
LOAN CHARGES
If a law, which applies to this loan and which sets maximum loan charges, is finally interpreted so that
the interest or other loan charges collected or to be collected in connection with this loan exceed the
permitted limits, then: (i) any such loan charge shall be reduced by the amount necessary to reduce the
charge to the permitted limit; and(ii) any sums already collected from me which exceeded permitted limits
will be refunded to me. The Note Holder may choose to make this refund by reducing the principal I owe
under this Note or by making a direct payment to me. If a refund reduces principal, the reduction will be
treated as a partial prepayment.
GRANTOR/BORROWER'S FAILURE TO PAY AS REQUIRED
(A) Default
Except as otherwise provided above, if I do not pay the full amount due hereunder on the date it is
due, or utilize the property as his/her principal residence, I will be in default. A default under the
terms and provisions of the documents evidencing, securing or pertaining to the indebtedness
secured by the First Deed of Trust, including, without limitation, the First Deed of Trust, shall
constitute a default hereunder. In addition, I will be in default if I default under the terms and
provisions of the Second Lien Deed of Trust executed by me dated the same date as this Note
securing my obligations under this Note.
(B) Notice of Default
If I am in default, the Note Holder may send me a written notice telling me that if I do not pay the
overdue amount by a certain date, the Note Holder may require me to pay immediately the full
amount of principal which has not been paid and all the interest that I owe on that amount. That
date must be at least 30 days after the date on which the notice is delivered or mailed to me.
(C) No Waiver by Note Holder
Even if, at a time when I am in default,the Note Holder does not require me to pay immediately in
full as described above, the Note Holder will still have the right to do so if I am in default at a later
Vii; HOME/CDBG.2nd lien Deed of Trust,Note and Rider.
time.
(D) Payment of Note Holder's Costs and Expenses
If the Note Holder has required me to pay immediately in full as described above, the Note Holder
will have the right to be paid back by me for all of its costs and expenses in enforcing this Note to
the extent not prohibited by applicable law. Those expenses include, for example, reasonable
attorneys' fees.
GIVING OF NOTICES
Unless applicable law requires a different method, any notice that must be given to me under this Note
will be given by delivering it or by mailing it by first class mail to me at the Property Address above or at
a different address if I give the Note Holder a notice of my different address.
Any notice that must be given to the Note Holder under this Note will be given by mailing it by first
class mail to the Note Holder at the address stated in Section 3(A) above or at a different address if I am
given a notice of that different address.
OBLIGATIONS OF PERSONS UNDER THIS NOTE
If more than one person signs this Note, each person is fully and personally obligated to keep all of
the promises made in this Note, including the promise to pay the full amount owed. Any person who is a
guarantor,surety or endorser of this Note is also obligated to these things. Any person who takes over these
obligations, including the obligations of a guarantor, surety or endorser of this Note, is also obligated to
keep all of the promise made in this Note. The Note Holder may enforce its rights under this Note against
each person individually or against all of us together in accordance with 24 Code of Federal Regulations
Sections 92 and 570, and 24 Code of Federal Regulations Section 85. This means that any one of us may
be required to pay all of the amounts owed under this Note.
WAIVERS
I and any other person who has obligations under this Note waive the rights of presentment and
notice of dishonor. "Presentment" means the right to require the Note Holder to demand payment of
amounts due. "Notice of dishonor"means the right to require the Note Holder to give notice to other
persons that amounts due have not been paid.
UNIFORMED SECURED NOTE
This Note is a uniform instrument with limited variations in some jurisdictions. In addition to the
protections given to the Note Holder under this Note, a Second Lien Deed of Trust (the "Subordinate
Security Instrument"),dated the same date as the Note,protects the Note Holder form possible losses which
might result if I do not keep the promises which I make in this Note. The Subordinate Security Instrument
is and shall be subject and subordinate in all respects to the liens terms, covenants and conditions of the
First Deed of Trust. The Subordinate Security Instrument describes how and under what conditions I may
be required to make immediate payment in full of all amounts I owe under this Note. Some of those
conditions are described as follows:
Transfer of Property or a Beneficial Interest in Grantor/Borrower. Except for a conveyance to the trustee
under the First Deed of Trust, if all or any part of the Property or any interest in it is sold,conveyed,leased,

leased with an option to purchase or transferred (including any contract for deed) without Note Holder's
prior written consent. Note Holder may,at its option,require immediate payment in full of all sums secured
by this Security Instrument. However, this option shall not be exercised by Note Holder if exercise is
prohibited by federal law as of the date of this Security Instrument.
If Note Holder exercises this option, Note Holder shall give Grantor/Borrower and the Senior Lien
Holder prior written notice of acceleration. The notice shall provide a period of not less than 30 days from
the date the notice is delivered or mailed within which Grantor/Borrower must pay all sums secured by this
Security Instrument. If Grantor/Borrower fails to pay these sums prior to the expiration of this period,Note
Holder may invoke any remedies permitted by this Security Instrument without further notice or demand
on Grantor/Borrower.
POSSIBLE FORGIVENESS
Note Holder hereby agrees to forgive the principal of this Note on the 10th anniversary of the date of
this Note, being , 2031; provide, however, as conditions precedent to the possible forgiveness of
the principal of this Note on the 10th anniversary of the date of this Note being ,2031,as provided
above, during such 10 year affordability period (A) I must have allowed the occurrence of any default
under this Note or the Subordinate Security Instrument; (B) I must not have allowed the occurrence of any
default under any deed of trust("Superior Deed of Trust"),including the First Deed of Trust, (i)the lien of
which encumbers the Property, and (ii) which evidences a lien on the Property superior to the lien of the
Subordinate Security Instrument; (C) I must not have allowed the occurrence of any default in the payment
of any indebtedness secured by a Superior Deed of Trust; and(D) I must have occupied the Property as my
