LOCAL INITIATIVE PROGRAM
REGULATORY AGREEMENT
AND
DECLARATION OF RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS
FOR
OWNERSHIP PROJECT
This Regulatory Agreement and Declaration of Restrictive Covenants (the "Agreement") is made this
day of July, 2007 by and among the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, acting by and through the
Department of Housing and Community Development ("DHCD"), pursuant to Chapter 204 of the Acts of
1996, the City/Town of Reading ("the Municipality"), and Johnson Woods Realty Corporation, a
Massachusetts corporation/limited partnership, having an address at 8 Doaks Lane, Marblehead,
Massachusetts, 01945, and its successors and assigns ("Project Sponsor").
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, pursuant to G.L. c. 40B, § § 20-23 (the "Act") and the final report of the Special Legislative
Commission Relative to Low and Moderate Income Housing Provisions issued in April 1989, regulations
have been promulgated at 760 CMR 45.00 (the "Regulations") which establish the Local Initiative Program
("LIP").
WHEREAS, the Project Sponsor intends to construct a housing development known as Johnson Woods at a
27 acre site on West Street in the Municipality, more particularly described in Exhibit A attached hereto
and made a part hereof (the "Project");
WHEREAS, such Project is to consist of a total number of 166 condominium units/ (the "Units") and 17 of
the Units will be sold at prices specified in this Agreement to persons or households with incomes at or
below eighty percent (801/6) of the regional median household income (the "Low and Moderate Income
Units");
WHEREAS, the Chief Elected Official of the Municipality (as that term is defined in the Regulations) and
the Project Sponsor have made application to DHCD to certify that the Project is a valid Comprehensive
Permit Project (as that term is defined in the Regulations) within the LIP Program and therefore that the
Project Sponsor is qualified to apply to the Municipality's Board of Appeals (as that term is defined in the
Regulations) for a comprehensive permit pursuant to the Act (the "Comprehensive Permit"), or have made
application to DHCD to certify that the units in the Project are Local, Initiative Units (as that term is defined
in the Regulations) with the LIP Program; and
WHEREAS, in partial consideration of the execution of this Agreement, DHCD has issued or will
issue its final approval of the Project within the LIP Program and has given and will give technical and
other assistance to the Project;
WHEREAS, the Project Sponsor intends to construct the Project in numerous construction phases
("Phases") by amending the Master Deed of the Johnson Woods Condominium ("Condominium") recorded
in the Middlesex Registry of Deeds in Book 43097, Page 163, and has previously amended the Master
Deed to add Phases I - VI to the Condominium, which includes two Low and Moderate Income Units in
Phase IV, and five Low and Moderate Income Units in Phase VI;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the agreements and covenants hereinafter set forth, and
other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which each of the parties hereto
hereby acknowledge to the other, DHCD, the Municipality, and the Project Sponsor hereby agree and cove-
nant as follows (the provisions in brackets apply only to Comprehensive Permit Projects):
RA Page 1
June 2006
1. The Project Sponsor agrees to construct the Project in accordance with plans and
specifications approved by the Municipality and DHCD (the "Plans and Specifications") [and in accordance
with all terms and conditions of the Comprehensive Permit]. In addition, all Low and Moderate Income
Units to be constructed as part of the Project must be indistinguishable from other Units in the Project from
the exterior (unless the Project has an approved "Alternative Development Plan" as set forth in the LIP
Guidelines for Communities ("Guidelines")), and must contain complete living facilities including but not
limited to a stove, kitchen cabinets, plumbing fixtures, and washer/dryer hookup, all as more fully shown in
the Plans and Specifications.
of the Low and Moderate Income Units shall be one bedroom units;
8 of the Low and Moderate Income Units shall be two bedroom townhouse units;
9 of the Low and Moderate Income Units shall be two bedroom Barden units
of the Low and Moderate Income Units shall be three bedroom units; and,
of the Low and Moderate Income Units shall be four bedroom units.
All Low and Moderate Income Units to be occupied by families must contain two or more bedrooms. Low
and Moderate Income Units must have the following minimum areas:
one bedroom units -
700 square feet
two bedroom units -
900 square feet
three bedroom units -
1200 square feet
four bedroom units -
1400 square feet
The Project must fully comply with the State Building Code and with all applicable state and federal
building, environmental, health, safety and other laws, rules, and regulations, including without limitation
all applicable federal and state laws, rules and regulations relating to the operation of adaptable and
accessible housing for the handicapped. [Except to the extent that the Project is exempted from such
compliance by the Comprehensive Permit,] the Project must also comply with all applicable local codes,
ordinances and by-laws.
The Project Sponsor agrees that the percentage interest in the Condominium for the Low and Moderate
Income Units in future Phases shall be determined in the same manner and with the same considerations,
reflecting the impact of the deed restrictions on the value of the Low and Moderate Income Units, as the
percentage interests were determined for the Low and Moderate Income Units in Phases I - VI, and that
such percentage.interests shall correspond to the maximum condominium fees approved by the
Municipality and DHCD for the Low and Moderate Income Units in each added Phase. Prior to recording
each amendment of the Master Deed adding a future Phase to the Condominium containing additional
affordable units the Project Sponsor shall obtain the approval of the Municipality and DHCD, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed,of the initial condominium fees and the amended
schedule of percentage interests for the units in the Condominium.
Each Low and Moderate Income Unit will be sold for no more than the price set forth in Exhibit B
attached hereto and made a part hereof to an Eligible Purchaser. An Eligible Purchaser is a Family whose
annual income does not exceed eighty percent (80%) of the Area median income adjusted for family size as
determined by the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. A "Family" shall mean two or
more persons who will live regularly in the Low or Moderate Income Unit as their primary residence and
who are related by blood, marriage, or operation of law or who have otherwise evidenced a stable inter-
dependent relationship; or an individual. The "Area" is defused as the Boston-Cambridge-Quincy, MA-NH
HMFA.
2. Upon issuance of a building permit for the project, the Project will be included in the
Subsidized Housing Inventory as that term is described in 760 CMR 31.04(1). Only Low and Moderate
Income Units will be counted as Subsidized Housing Units for the purposes of the Act.
RA Page 2
June 2006
3. (a) At the time of sale of each Low and Moderate Income Unit by the Project Sponsor, the
Project Sponsor shall execute and shall as a condition of the sale cause the purchaser of the Low and
Moderate Income Unit to execute an Affordable Housing Deed Rider in the form of Exhibit C attached
hereto and made a part hereof (the "Deed Rider"). Such Deed Rider shall be attached to and made a part of
the deed from the Project Sponsor to the Unit Purchaser. Each such Deed Rider shall require the Unit Pur-
chaser at the time he desires to sell the Low and Moderate Income Unit to offer the Low and Moderate
Income Unit to the Municipality and to DHCD at a discounted purchase price more particularly described
therein. The Municipality and DHCD shall have the option upon terms more particularly described in the
Deed Rider to either purchase the Low and Moderate Income Unit or to find an Eligible Purchaser. The
Deed Rider shall require the Unit Purchaser and the Eligible Purchaser to execute at the time of resale a
Deed Rider identical in form and substance to the Deed Rider then in effect with respect to the Low and
Moderate Income Unit which will be attached and made a part of the deed from the Unit Purchaser to the
Eligible Purchaser, so that the affordability of the Low and Moderate Income unit will be preserved each
time that subsequent resales of the Low and Moderate Income unit occur. (The various requirements and
restrictions regarding resale of a Low and Moderate Income Unit contained in the Deed Rider are
hereinafter referred to as the ("Resale Restrictions"). If upon the initial resale or any subsequent resale of a
Low and Moderate Income Unit, the Municipality and DHCD are unable to find an Eligible Purchaser for
the Low and Moderate Income Unit, and the Municipality and DHCD each elect not to exercise its right to
purchase the Low and Moderate Income Unit, then the then current owner of the Low and Moderate
Income Unit shall have the right to sell the Low and Moderate Income Unit to any person, regardless of his
income (an "Ineligible Purchaser") at the Maximum Resale Price and subject to all rights and restrictions
contained in the Deed Rider, and provided that the Unit is conveyed subject to a Deed Rider identical in
form and substance to the Deed Rider then in effect with respect to the Low and Moderate Income Unit
which will be attached and made part of the deed from the Unit Purchaser to the Ineligible Purchaser. The
Municipality agrees that in the event that it purchases a Low and Moderate Income Unit pursuant to its
right to do so contained in the Deed Rider then in effect with respect to such Low and Moderate Income
Unit, that the Municipality shall within six (6) months of its acceptance of a deed of such Low and
Moderate Income Unit, either (i) sell the Low and Moderate Income Unit to an Eligible Purchaser at the
same price for which it purchased the Low and Moderate Income Unit plus any expenses incurred by the
Municipality during its period of ownership, such expenses to be approved by DHCD, subject to a Deed
Rider satisfactory in form and substance to DHCD and the recording of an Eligible Purchaser Certificate
satisfactory in form and substance to DHCD, the method for selecting such Eligible Purchaser to be
approved by DHCD or (ii) rent the Low and Moderate Income Unit to a person who meets the income
guidelines of the LIP Program, upon terms and conditions satisfactory to DHCD and otherwise in
conformity with the requirements of the LIP Program. If the Municipality fails to sell or rent the Low and
Moderate income unit as provided herein within said six (6) month period, or if at any time after the initial
rental of the Low and Moderate Income Unit by the Municipality as provided herein the Low and Moderate
Income Unit becomes vacant and remains vacant for more than ninety (90) days, then such Low and
Moderate Income Unit shall cease to be counted as a Subsidized Housing Unit, and shall no longer be
included in the Subsidized Housing Inventory.
(b) Each Low and Moderate Income Unit will remain a Subsidized Housing Unit and continue to
be included in the Subsidized Housing Inventory for as long as the following three conditions are met: (1)
this Agreement remains in full force and effect and neither the Municipality nor the Project Sponsor are in
default hereunder; (2) the Project and Low and Moderate Income Unit each continue to comply with the
Regulations and the Guidelines as the same may be amended from time to time; and (3) either (i) a Deed
Rider binding the then current owner of the Low and Moderate Income Unit to comply with the Resale
Restrictions is in full force and effect and the then current owner of the Low and Moderate Income Unit is
either in compliance with the terms of the Deed Rider, or the Municipality is in the process of taking such
steps as may be required by DHCD to enforce the then current owner's compliance with the terms of the
Deed Rider or (ii) the Low and Moderate Income Unit is owned by the Municipality and the Municipality
is in compliance with the terms and conditions of the last preceding paragraph, or (iii) the Low and
Moderate Income Unit is owned by DHCD.
4. Intentionally deleted.

5. The Municipality agrees that upon the receipt by the Municipality of any Windfall
Amount [ or Excess Profit] the Municipality shall deposit any and all such Windfall Amounts [or Excess
Profit] into an interest bearing account established with an institutional lender approved by DHCD (the
"Affordable Housing Fund"). Sums from the Affordable Housing Fund shall be expended from time to
time by the Municipality for the purpose of reducing the cost of Low and Moderate Income Units to
Eligible purchasers upon resale or for the purpose of encouraging, creating, or subsidizing the construction
or rehabilitation of housing for persons and families of low and moderate income elsewhere in the
Municipality. The expenditure of funds from the Affordable Housing Fund shall be. made only with the
approval of DHCD, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld.
6. Prior to marketing or otherwise making available for sale any of the Units, the Project Sponsor
must obtain DHCD's approval of a marketing plan (the "Marketing Plan") for the Low and Moderate
Income Units. Such Marketing Plan must describe the buyer selection process for the Low and Moderate
Income Units and must set forth a plan for affirmative marketing of Low and Moderate Income Units to
minority households as more particularly described in the Regulations and Guidelines: At the option of the
Municipality, the Marketing Plan may also include a preference for local residents for up to seventy percent
(70%) of the Low and Moderate Income Units, subject to all provisions of the Regulations and Guidelines.
When submitted to DHCD for approval, the Marketing Plan should be accompanied by a letter from the
Chief Elected Official of the Municipality (as that term is defined in the Regulations) which states that the
buyer selection and local preference (if any) aspects of the Marketing Plan have been approved by the
Municipality and which states that the Municipality will perform any aspects of the Marketing Plan which
are set forth as responsibilities of the Municipality in the Marketing Plan. The Marketing Plan must
comply with the Regulations and Guidelines and with all other applicable statutes, regulations and
executive orders, and DHCD directives reflecting the agreement between bHCD and the U.S. Department
of Housing and Urban Development in the case of NAACP, Boston Chapter v. Kemp. If the Project is
located in the Boston Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area, the Project Sponsor must list all Low
and Moderate Income Units with the City of Boston's MetroList (Metropolitan Housing Opportunity
Clearing Center), at Boston City Hail, P.O. Box 5996, Boston, MA 02114-5996 (617-635-3321). All
costs of carrying out the Marketing Plan shall be paid by the Project Sponsor. A failure to comply with the
Marketing Plan by the Project Sponsor or by the Municipality shall be deemed to be a default of this Agree-
ment. The Project Sponsor agrees to maintain for at least five years following the sale of the last Low and
Moderate Income Unit, a record of all newspaper ads, outreach letters, translations, leaflets, and any other
outreach efforts (collectively "Marketing Documentation") as described in the Marketing Plan as approved
by DHCD which may be inspected at any time by DHCD. All Marketing Documentation must be
approved by DHCD prior to its use by the Project Sponsor or the Municipality. The Project Sponsor and
the Municipality agree that if at any time prior to or during the process of marketing the Low and Moderate
Income Units, DHCD determines that the Project Sponsor, or the Municipality with respect to aspects of
the Marketing Plan that the Municipality has agreed to be responsible for, has not adequately complied with
the approved Marketing Plan, that the Project Sponsor or Municipality as the case may be, shall conduct
such additional outreach or marketing efforts as shall be determined by DHCD.
7. Neither the Project Sponsor nor the Municipality shall discriminate on the basis of race,
creed, color, sex, age, handicap, marital status, national origin, or any other basis prohibited by law in the
selection of buyers for the Units; and the Project Sponsor shall not so discriminate in connection with the
employment or application for employment of persons fo°r the construction, operation or management of the
Project. '
8. (a) The Project Sponsor agrees to comply and to cause the Project to comply with all
requirements of the Regulations and Guidelines and all other applicable laws, rules, regulations, and
executive orders. DHCD and the Chief Elected official of the municipality shall have access during normal
business hours to all books and records of the Project Sponsor and the Project in order to monitor the
Project Sponsor's compliance with the terms of this Agreement.
(b) Intentionally deleted
(c) Throughout the term of this Agreement, the Chief Elected Official shall annually certify in
writing to DHCD that each of the Low and Moderate Income Units continues to be occupied by a person
RA Page 4 June 2006
who was an Eligible Purchaser at the time of purchase; that any Low and Moderate Income Units which
have been resold during the year have been resold in compliance with all of the terms and provisions of the
Deed Rider than in effect with respect to each such Low and Moderate Income Unit, and in compliance
with the Regulations and Guidelines and this Agreement; and that the Project and the Low and Moderate
Income Units have otherwise been maintained in a manner consistent with the Regulations and Guidelines,
this Agreement, and the Deed Rider then in .effect with respect to each Low and Moderate Income Unit.
9. Upon execution, the Project Sponsor shall immediately cause this Agreement and any
amendments hereto to be recorded with the Registry of Deeds for the County where the Project is located
or, if the Project consists in whole or in part of registered land, file this Agreement and any amendments
hereto with the Registry District of the Land Court for the County where the Project is located (collectively
hereinafter the "Registry of Deeds"), and the Project Sponsor shall pay all fees and charges incurred in
connection therewith. Upon recording or filing, as applicable, the Project Sponsor shall immediately
transmit to DHCD and the Municipality evidence of such recording or filing including the date and
instrument, book and page or registration number of the Agreement.
10. The Project Sponsor hereby represents, covenants and warrants as follows:

Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and is qualified to transact business under the laws of
this State, (ii) has the power and authority to own its properties and assets, and to carry

applicable, has not violated any provision of any indenture, agreement, mortgage,
mortgage note, or other instrument to which the Project Sponsor is a party or by which it
or the Project is bound, and (iii) will not result in the creation or imposition of any
prohibited encumbrance of any nature.
(c) The Project Sponsor will, at the time of execution and delivery of this Agreement, have
good and marketable title to the premises constituting the Project free and clear of any
lien or encumbrance (subject to encumbrances created pursuant to this Agreement, any
loan documents relating to the Project the terms of which are approved by DHCD, or
other permitted encumbrances, including mortgages referred in paragraph 19, below).
(d) There is no action, suit or proceeding at law or in equity or by or before any
governmental instrumentality or other agency now pending, or, to the knowledge of the
Project Sponsor, threatened against or affecting it, or any of its properties or rights,
which, if adversely determined, would materially impair its right to carry on business
substantially as now conducted (and as now contemplated by this Agreement) or would
materially adversely affect its financial condition.
11. Intentionally deleted.
12. Until such time as decisions regarding repair of damage due to fire or other casualty, or
restoration after taking by eminent domain, shall be made by a condominium association or trust not
controlled by the Project Sponsor, (or if the Project consists of detached dwellings, by homebuyers) Project
Sponsor agrees that if the Project, or any part thereof, shall be damaged or destroyed or shall be condemned
or acquired for public use, the Project Sponsor will use its best efforts to repair and restore the Project to
substantially the same condition as existed prior to the event causing such damage or destruction, or to
relieve the condemnation, and thereafter to operate the Project in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement, subject to the approval of the Project's lenders, which lenders have been approved by DHCD
and the Municipality.

IS. (a) This Agreement and all of the covenants, agreements and restrictions contained herein shall
be deemed to be an affordable housing restriction as that term is defined in G.L. c. 184, § 31 and as that
term is used in G.L. c.184, § 26, 31, 32 and 33. This Agreement is made for the benefit of DHCD, and
DHCD shall be deemed to be the holder of the affordable housing restriction created by this Agreement.
DHCD has determined that the acquiring of such affordable housing restriction is in the public interest.
The term of this Agreement shall be perpetual, provided however, *that this Agreement shall terminate if (a)
at any time hereafter there is no Low and Moderate Income Unit at the Project which is then subject to a
Deed Rider containing the Resale Restrictions, and there is no Low and Moderate Income Unit at the

Comprehensive Permit is not granted to the Project Sponsor for the Project by either the Municipality's
Board of Appeals (as that term is defined in the Regulations) or by the housing Appeals Committee (as that
term is used in the Act) within a period of eighteen months from the date of execution of this Agreement,
or] (d) [if at any time the Comprehensive Permit is revoked and all applicable appeal. periods with respect
to such revocation have expired]. If this Agreement terminates because of a foreclosure or the acceptance
of an instrument in lieu of foreclosure as set forth in clause (b) of this paragraph, the Municipality agrees
that if at the time of such termination there is one or more Low and Moderate Income Unit at the Project
which is then subject to a Deed Rider containing the Resale Restrictions or there is one or more Low and
Moderate Income Unit at the Project which is owned by the Municipality or DHCD as provided in Section

(c) The Resale Restrictions contained in each of the Deed Riders which are to encumber each of
the Low and Moderate Income Units at the Project pursuant to the requirements of this Agreement shall
also constitute an affordable housing restriction as that term is defined in G.L. c. 184, § 31 and as that term
is used in G.L. c. 184, 26, 31, 32, and 33. Such Resale Restrictions shall be for the benefit of both

affordable housing restriction created by the Resale Restrictions in each of the Deed Riders. DHCD has
determined that the acquiring of such affordable housing restriction is in the public interest. To the extent

Director of DHCD by the execution of this Agreement hereby approves such Resale Restrictions in each of
the Deed Riders for the Low and Moderate Income. Units of the Project as required by the provisions of
G.L. c. 184, § 32.

notice of any default, violation or breach of the obligations of the Project Sponsor or the Municipality
hereunder, (with a copy to the other party to this Agreement) within seven (7) days of first discovering such
default, violation or breach (a "Default Notice"). If DHCD becomes aware of a default, violation, or breach

such default, violation, or breach is not cured to the satisfaction of DHCD within thirty (30) days after the
giving of the Default notice by the Project Sponsor or the Municipality, or if no Default Notice is given,

federal court for specific performance of this Agreement, or DHCD may exercise any other remedy at law
or in equity or take any other action as may be necessary or desirable to correct non-compliance with this
