$_________________
______________, 20__
________, Oregon
____________________, a ______________________ ("Borrower"), promises to pay to
the order of the STATE OF OREGON, acting by and through its HOUSING AND
COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT, its successors and assigns ("Lender"), at
_________________________, or at such other address as Lender may specify in writing, the
principal amount of __________________________________ ($_______________), or so much
thereof as may be disbursed pursuant to the terms of that certain Loan Agreement of even date
herewith between Borrower and Lender ("Loan Agreement"), together with any accrued interest,
less any Project Cost Savings returned to Lender and applied to the Loan balance pursuant to
Section 5 of this Note. Interest under this Note will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year
consisting of twelve 30-day months.
This promissory note ("Note") is the note referred to in the Loan Agreement and is
entitled to the benefits of, and subject to the limitations of, the Loan Agreement. All capitalized
terms not defined herein will have the respective meanings given thereto in the Loan Agreement.
1. CONSTRUCTION LOAN
The Loan will initially be a Construction Loan. Construction Loan interest will accrue on
amounts disbursed hereunder during the Construction Loan Period at the rate of zero percent
(0.00%) per annum. Upon written request by Borrower and with the prior written consent of
Lender, the Construction Loan Period may be extended for two, three-month periods upon
written request. Subject to Section 2 below and the provisions of this Note requiring earlier
payment, the Construction Loan will be due and payable in full on the last day of the
Construction Loan Period.
2. PERMANENT LOAN
If the conditions set forth in Section 4.1 of the Loan Agreement are satisfied as provided
therein, the Loan will be converted to a Permanent Loan, the initial principal balance of which
will be the balance of the Construction Loan at conversion. Permanent Loan interest will accrue
on the outstanding principal balance at the rate of zero percent (0.00%) per annum. Subject to
the provisions of this Note requiring earlier payment, the Permanent Loan will be due and
payable in full on the Maturity Date
3. MATURITY DATE
DRAFT
Page 2- Promissory Note Project #_____________ DRAFT
The maturity date means the earlier of the date when this entire Note, principal and
interest, is paid in full, or the first day of _____________ (“Maturity Date”) [will align with
affordability period]. The unpaid principal balance of this Note and all unpaid accrued interest
thereon and all sums payable by Borrower in connection with this Note shall be due and payable
in full on the Maturity Date or, at Lender's option, upon any Event of Default.
4. PROJECT COST SAVINGS
[To Be Determined intent is to defer to primary lender if there is one, if LIFT is the only loan
in the project any identified project cost savings will be used to benefit tenant or be used for a reserve
account; language pending]
5. PREPAYMENT
Borrower may prepay this Note in whole or in part at any time without penalty. All
prepayments will be applied first to accrued interest on this Note, if any, and then to the principal
balance of this Note. Partial prepayments will not affect any other obligation of Borrower under
this Note.
6. SUBSIDIZED LOAN; DUE ON TRANSFER; NO CHANGE IN USE
[To Be Determined reference to transfer restrictions in the Operating Agreement]
(a) Borrower acknowledges that the terms of the Loan, including the interest rate, are
subsidized by public funds and are more favorable than the prevailing market rate for similar
loans obtainable in the private marketplace. Borrower further acknowledges that the more
favorable terms on the Loan are not intended to benefit Borrower or any subsequent owner of the
Project in the event of any sale or transfer of the Project or of a beneficial interest in Borrower.
Accordingly, any sale or transfer (or any attempted sale or transfer) of all or any part of,
or any interest in, the Property or the Project, or any beneficial interest in Borrower, without the
prior written consent of Lender (which Lender may grant, condition, or withhold in its sole and
absolute discretion) is prohibited, and upon any such prohibited sale or transfer, this Note and all
other indebtedness secured by the Trust Deed shall become immediately due and payable in full.
As used herein, the term "sale or transfer" is used in its broadest sense, and includes, with respect
to the Property or the Project, an encumbrance, pledge, or grant of a security interest, a ground
lease, master lease or other lease not in the ordinary course of business, land sale contract,
foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure, or transfer (by operation of law or otherwise) pursuant to
any dissolution, liquidation, merger, reorganization or consolidation, and with respect to a
beneficial interest in Borrower, a sale, gift or other transfer of any partnership, stock,
membership or other ownership interest in Borrower other than a transfer upon death of the
owner of such interest. However “sale or transfer” will not include,
(i) if the Borrower is a partnership or limited liability company, a
transfer to a general partner or managing member who is as of the date of this Note a general
partner of the partnership or managing member of the limited liability company,

(ii) a transfer to a qualified nonprofit organization or government
agency pursuant to a right-of-first refusal under IRC section 42(i) (7), or
(iii) a transfer pursuant to a qualified contract under IRC section
42(h)(6)(F).
(iii) a transfer of the interest of the general partner of Borrower
resulting from the limited partner’s exercise of its removal rights pursuant to Borrower’s Limited
Partnership Agreement.
(iv) a transfer of the interest of the limited partner of Borrower pursuant to
Borrower’s Limited Partnership Agreement.
Notwithstanding who is the holder of this Note, Lender reserves the right to approve a sale or
transfer as described in this Section. Any transferee will be bound by the terms of this Note.
(b) Borrower will not change the use of the Property without Lender’s prior written
consent, which may be withheld or conditioned in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion.
7 EVENTS OF DEFAULT
An Event of Default will occur under this Note if one or more of the Events of Default
described in the Trust Deed or the Loan Agreement, which are incorporated by reference in this
Note, occur.
8. LENDER'S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES ON DEFAULT
Upon the occurrence of any Event or Events of Default, Lender may exercise any one or
more of the rights and remedies described in the Trust Deed or the Loan Agreement, which are
incorporated by reference in this Note.
Upon the occurrence of any Event or Events of Default, interest under this Note will
accrue on the unpaid principal balance from the date of the Event of Default, or if the Event of
Default is a payment default, from the date the first unpaid payment was due, at a rate equal to
the lesser of four percent (4%) per annum or the maximum interest which may be collected from
Borrower under applicable law (the “Default Rate”). If the unpaid principal balance and all
accrued interest are not paid in full on the Maturity Date, the unpaid principal balance and all
accrued interest will bear interest from the Maturity Date at the Default Rate. Borrower agrees
that the increase in the rate of interest payable under this Note to the Default Rate represents a
fair and reasonable estimate, taking into account all circumstances existing on the date of this
Note, of the additional costs and expenses Lender will incur by reason of the Borrower’s
delinquent payment and the additional compensation Lender is entitled to receive for the
increased risks of nonpayment associated with a delinquent loan.

9. RECOURSE PROVISION
The obligations under this Note, including the obligations secured by the Trust Deed, are
with recourse to the Borrower and any of its general partners unless and until the Loan is
converted to the Permanent Loan. Upon conversion of the Loan to the Permanent Loan,
notwithstanding any other provision of this Note or the Loan Agreement, but subject to the
qualifications set forth below in this Section, the obligation to pay the indebtedness evidenced by
or arising under this Note will be nonrecourse as to Borrower and its general partners except as to
their rights, if any, in the collateral described in the Trust Deed, and no personal judgment may
be obtained against Borrower or any of its general partners; provided, however, that Borrower
and its general partners and will be personally liable for (a) failure to pay taxes, assessments, or
other charges which could result in liens (including construction liens) against the collateral
described in the Trust Deed, (b) retention by Borrower or its general partners of any rental or
other income or insurance or condemnation proceeds arising with respect to such collateral
which, under the terms of the Trust Deed, should have been paid to Lender, and (c) any liability
or losses incurred by Lender as a result of any fraud or deceit by Borrower in connection with
this Loan.
10. MISCELLANEOUS
This Note may not be modified or amended except in writing and signed by Borrower and
Lender. This Note also reflects and sets forth the entire agreement and supersedes all prior
agreements and understanding relating to such subject matter. Time is of the essence of each
provision of this Note. Borrower waives presentment for payment, notice of dishonor, protest,
notice of protest and diligence in collection, and consents that the time of payment of the
principal balance and accrued interest, or any part thereof, may be extended by Lender without
otherwise modifying, altering, releasing, affecting or limiting Borrower's liability or the security
for this Note. If any provision of this Note is held to be invalid, such event will not affect, in any
respect whatsoever, the validity of the remainder of this Note. This Note shall be construed in
accordance with Oregon law.
