Developer shall negotiate the purchase of the property with the current owner which must be <br />consistent with NSP guidelines. Developer has the capacity to finance up to 80 percent of costs <br />with its own acquisition/construction lender. Developer shall take, insure and hold title to the <br />property, and prepare a scope of work to be reviewed by the City. The City anticipates mainly <br />using NSP funds for acquisition, costs associated with maintenance, sales and other related soft <br />costs. The actual number of housing units to be acquired and rehabilitated by Developer will be <br />determined by the City in its sole discretion based in part on the amount of NSP Funds awarded <br />to Santa Ana. <br />202.

Each of the parties has signed a Memorandum of <br />Understanding with NCST and agreed to the Acquisition Program Guidelines issued by NCST. <br />Any properties purchased in collaboration with NCST must comply with all NCST requirements <br />and follow the NCST framework for acquisition of eligible properties. As the City's partner with <br />NCST, Developer shall work with the City's approved intermediary(ies) for the Rental Program, <br />or to other non-profit organizations implementing similar programs that the City may identify, to <br />provide potential eligible properties. <br />203.

Developer shall select and pay the appraiser directly as one of <br />its development costs. <br />205. Funding of Acquisition.

City shall record a lien, in the form of a Deed of Trust <br />(attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit C), against each of the selected properties <br />equal to the amount of money deposited into escrow for such property. Said lien will be released <br />upon sale of the Property to a qualified homebuyer, when the Deed of Trust and Promissory Note <br />are executed.
