The agreement <br />provides monetary incentive to the property owner in the form of a <br />property tax reduction in exchange to the owner's voluntary commitment <br />to maintain the property in a good state of repair and to rehabilitate <br />the property as necessary. Once recorded, the agreement triggers the <br />use of a different valuation method in determining the property's <br />assessed value, thereby resulting in potentially significant property <br />tax savings for the owner. <br />EXHIBIT A <br />25A-3
