cessation in the construction of the Improvements the AGENCY Shall at the same time deliver to
each holder of record of any mortgage, deed of trust or other security interest authorized by this

days after the receipt of the notice, to cure or remedy or commence to cure or remedy any such
default or breach and to add the cost thereof to the security interest debt and the lien on its

made) without first having expressly assumed in writing the PARTICIPANT'S obligations to the
AGENCY relating specifically to such Improvements under this Agreement. The holder in that
event must agree to complete, in the manner provided in this Agreement, the Improvements and
submit evidence reasonably satisfactory to the AGENCY that it has the developmental capability
on staff or retainer and financial capacity necessary to perform such obligations. Any such

deed of trust or other security interest creating a lien or encumbrance upon the Property, having
first exercised its option to construct, has not proceeded diligently with construction, the
AGENCY shall be afforded those rights against such holder which it would otherwise have
against PARTICIPANT under this Agreement.
2.05 Right of Agency to Cure.
In the event of a default or breach by the PARTICIPANT of a mortgage, deed of trust or
other security instrument prior to issuance of a Certificate of Completion for all of the
Improvements, and the holder has not, within sixty (60) days after receiving notice of said
default or breach, exercised its option to complete the Improvements, the AGENCY may
terminate the Agreement.
2.06 Holder to be Notified.
The PARTICIPANT, for itself, its successors and assigns hereby warrants and agrees that
each term contained herein dealing with security financing and fights of holders shall be either
inserted into the relevant deed of trust or mortgage or acknowledged by the holder prior to its
coming into any security right or interest in the Property.
