Adjournment and Closing

7. Release of Housing Agreement

Provided that the requirements of section 5(a)(iii) have been satisfied, the City shall execute a release of this Agreement from title to the Housing Unit in the LTO following the earlier of:

(a) the 5th anniversary of the First Sale Date; and

(b) completion of a sale or transfer pursuant to section 6 that complies with the requirements of section 6, if (i) documentation and other written evidence satisfactory to the City has been provided to the City confirming compliance with section 6, and (ii) the City has provided written confirmation that it is satisfied with such written evidence of compliance.

The Owner shall be responsible for preparing and registering the release in the LTO.

8. Priority to First Buyer Mortgage

The City shall grant priority over this Agreement to a mortgage registered against title to the Housing unit that is granted by the First Buyer to a chartered bank or credit union that finances the First Buyer's purchase of the Housing Unit. The First Buyer shall be responsible for preparing and registering the priority agreement in the LTO against title to the Housing Unit.

9. Lack of Qualified Buyers

If, in relation to a building:

(a) the Land has been subdivided in the manner contemplated by section 2(d);

(b) at least 6 months have passed following the issuance by the City of an occupancy permit for the building;

(c) the Owner has completed the sale of at least 90% of the strata lots in the Building that are not Housing Units;

the Owner may apply, in writing, to the City for release of this Agreement in relation to a Housing Unit in that building that has never been occupied by any person and has never been sold to a Qualified Buyer, if the Owner has been unable to sell that Housing Unit to a Qualified Buyer because there has been an insufficient number of Qualified Buyers approved by the City.

If the Owner makes such an application to the City and:

(d) the Owner establishes, to the written satisfaction of the City, that the Owner has been unable to sell that Housing Unit to a Qualified Buyer because there has been an insufficient number of Qualified Buyers approved by the City;

(e) the Owner continues to be unable to sell the Housing Unit to a Qualified Buyer for the foregoing reason for a period of 120 days following the making of such application to the City and the City confirms its satisfaction, in writing that this is the case; and

(f) the City is satisfied that the Owner is not in breach of any of its obligations under this Agreement;

then the City shall execute a release of this Agreement from title to that Housing Unit in the LTO, which release shall be prepared and registered by and at the expense of the Owner.

10. City Approval of Qualified Buyer & City Relaxation of Qualified Buyer Criteria

If the City approves, in writing, of an individual as having qualified as a Qualified Buyer, that individual shall be considered to be a Qualified Buyer for the purposes of this Agreement, subject to any qualifications and limitations imposed by the City in such written approval. The City may at any time and from time to time relax any or all of the Qualified Buyer criteria specified in this Agreement.

11. Notice on Title

The Owner acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement constitutes both a covenant under section 219 of the Local Government Act and a housing agreement under section 483 of the Local Government Act, and that the City will file in the LTO a notice that the Lands are subject to this Agreement as required by section 483 of the Local Government Act.

12. Municipal Permits

The Owner agrees that the City may withhold building permits and occupancy permits with respect to any building or other structure from time to time constructed or proposed to be constructed on the Land, as the City may, in its sole discretion, consider necessary to ensure compliance with this Agreement.

13. Specific Relief

The Owner agrees that the public interest in ensuring that all of the provisions of this Agreement are complied with strongly favours the award of a prohibitory or mandatory injunction, or an order for specific performance or other specific relief, by the Supreme Court of British Columbia at the instance of the City, in the event of an actual or threatened breach of this Agreement.

14. No Effect on Powers

Nothing in this Agreement shall:

(a) affect or limit the discretion, rights or powers of the City or the City's Approving Officer under any enactment or at common law, including in relation to the use, development or subdivision of the Land;

(b) affect or limit any enactment relating to the use, development or subdivision of Land; or

(c) relieve the Owner from complying with any enactment, including in relation to the use, development or subdivision of the Land.

15. City Discretion

Where the City or a representative of the City is required or permitted under this Agreement to form an opinion, exercise a discretion, express satisfaction, make a determination or give its consent:

(a) the relevant provision shall not be considered fulfilled unless the approval, opinion, determination, consent or expression of satisfaction is in writing signed by the City or the representative, as the case may be;

(b) the approval, opinion, determination, consent or satisfaction is in the sole discretion of the City or the representative, as the case may be; and

(c) the City or the representative, as the case may be, is under no public law duty of fairness or natural justice in that regard and the City or the representative may do any of those things in the same manner as if it were a private person and not a public body or employee or officer thereof.

16. No Obligation to Enforce

The rights given to the City under this Agreement are permissive only and nothing in this Agreement shall give rise to any legal duty of any kind on the City to anyone or obligate the City to enforce this Agreement or to perform any act or incur any expense.

17. Agreement Runs with Land

This Agreement shall burden and run with, and bind the successors in title to, the Land and each and every part into which the Land may be subdivided by any means (including by deposit of a strata plan of any kind under the Strata Property Act (British Columbia)).

18. Waiver

No waiver by the City of any requirement or breach of this Agreement shall be effective unless it is an express waiver in writing that specifically references the requirement or breach and no such waiver shall operate as a waiver of any other requirement or breach or any continuing breach of this Agreement.

19. Remedies

No reference to or exercise of any specific right or remedy by the City shall prejudice or preclude the City from exercising any other right or remedy, whether allowed at law or in equity or expressly provided for in this Agreement, and no such right or remedy is exclusive or dependent upon any other such remedy and the City may from time to time exercise any one or more of such remedies independently or in combination.

20. Priority

The Owner shall cause this Agreement to be registered in the LTO against title to the Land with priority over all financial liens, charges and encumbrances, and any leases and options to purchase, registered or pending registration at the time of application for registration of this Agreement, including by causing the holder of each such lien, charge, encumbrance, lease or option to purchase to execute an instrument in a form required by the City under which such holder postpones all of the holder's rights to those of the City under this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent as if such lien, charge, encumbrance, lease or option to purchase had been registered immediately after the registration of this Agreement.
