Date: June 8, 2006 (CC Mtg. of June 21, 2006)
Subject: Consider Approval of an Affordable Housing
Purchase and Sale Agreement Between the City
and Shea Homes, Limited Partnership, for Vesting
Tentative Tract Map 5133
BACKGROUND
California Health & Safety Code Section 33413(b)(2)(A)(i) requires that "at least 15
percent of all new and substantially rehabilitated dwelling units developed within a
project area under the jurisdiction of an agency by public or private entities or
persons other than the agency shall be available at affordable housing cost to, and
occupied by, persons and families of low or moderate income." Consistent with this
requirement, the City's inclusionary policy, as stated in the 2000 -2005 Housing
Element, is to require that fifteen percent (15 %) of all residential units developed
within the redevelopment area must be affordable to low and very low income
households.
DISCUSSION
Shea Homes, the developer of the Canterbury Lane project, received City approval
to develop seventy -nine (79) attached and detached condominium units on
approximately 9.2 acres, with conditions of approval for Vesting Tentative Tract Map
No. 5133 (VTTM 5133) and Residential Planned Development Permit No. 1998 -1
(RPD 98 -1) both in City Council Resolution No. 99 -1666. In addition, Minor
Modification No. 1 for this project was approved July 17, 2001, Minor Modification
No. 2, approved June 14, 2002, and Resolution No. 2003 -2106, adopted July 2,
2003. The above approvals initially anticipated 79 units in the project; at a later time
V-0 %, /VV

the project was determined to be in substantial conformance with the original project
approvals with seventy -seven (77) units in total.
The attached Affordable Housing Purchase and Sale Agreement sets forth
requirements pertaining to the affordable units and related fees for this project and
satisfies conditions of approval stipulating an Affordable Housing Agreement and an
Affordable Housing Implementation and Resale Restriction Plan.
Due to proposed adjustments to the 100 -year flood plain identified on the Flood
Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) published by the Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA), this project has been able to construct only twenty -six (26) units,
instead of the anticipated 77 units. For this reason, the attached Affordable Housing
Purchase and Sale Agreement provides for an adjustment to the number of low
income units to be provided within this development at this time. As thirty -four
percent (34 %) of the planned number of 77 units can be built on the site at this time,
34% of the initially anticipated seven (7) low income units (2.38 units) are required to
be provided now. Two (2) units will be constructed and thirty -eight percent (38 %) of
the difference between the estimated market price of $540,000.00 and the
Affordable Sales Price of $160,000.00 for one low income unit (38% of $540,000.00
less $160,000.00) or One Hundred Forty -Four Thousand Four Hundred Dollars
($144,400) will be provided as a One -Time Affordable Housing Fee.
The initial conditions of approval of the project stipulated specific fees to be paid in
lieu of providing very low income units, and those fees will still be paid, in total, and
adjusted for increases in the Consumer Price Index (CPI), as indicated in the
Affordable Housing Purchase and Sale Agreement ( "Agreement').
The Agreement enables the City to purchase either of the two (2) affordable units if
eligible low income buyers have not been identified when the units are completed
and ready for sale. In that event, the City will re -sell the units to qualified low income
buyers and will cause long term covenants to be recorded against the properties,
which will ensure their affordability to low and very low income households for at
least 45 years. This is the same process used for the Moondance project (Tract
5307), the TR Partners project (Tract 5181), and has been approved for the Pardee
development (Tract 5045) and William Lyon Homes (Tract 5405).
In addition, the City will have the right to purchase two additional units at market
price for resale to a moderate, low or very low income household.

per unit shall be paid prior to issuance of the building permit for each dwelling unit in the
development project. (This is based on 79 units.)
Commencing October 1, 2001, and annually thereafter, the In -Lieu Fee shall be
adjusted by any increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) until all In -Lieu Fees have
been paid. The CPI increase shall be determined by the information provided by the U.
S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, for all urban consumers within the
Los Angeles /Anaheim /Riverside metropolitan area for the preceding twelve month
period covering June to June. In the event there is a decrease in the CPI for any annual

Developer shall pay to City the amount of Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00) for the
City's cost to prepare the affordable housing plan and agreement required pursuant to
this Condition; and
WHEREAS, during the design process, the Project was determined to be in
"substantial conformance" with the original Conditions of Approval with seventy -seven
(77) units in total, rather than 79; and
WHEREAS, the above - referenced In Lieu Fee of $300,000 that results in
$3,797.47 per unit, based on 79 originally anticipated units, was adjusted to Three
Thousand Eight Hundred Ninety -Six Dollars and Ten Cents ($3,896.10) for each of 77
units, and said fee has been adjusted on an annual basis, beginning October 1, 2001,
due to a 4.62% increase in the CPI, which resulted in a fee of Four Thousand Seventy -
Six Dollars and Ten Cents ($4,076.10); on October 1, 2002, due to a 1.68% increase in
CPI, resulting in an adjusted fee of Four Thousand One Hundred Forty -Four Dollars and
Forty -Five Cents ($4,144.45); on October 1, 2003, due to a 2.42% increase in CPI,
resulting in an adjusted fee of Four Thousand Two Hundred Forty -Four Dollars and
Seventy Cents ($4,244.70); on October 1, 2004, due to a 3.97% increase in CPI,

WHEREAS, during the commencement of construction, but prior to approval of
final building permits for any dwelling units in the project, the Federal Emergency
Management Association ( "FEMA ") issued its updated Digital Flood Insurance Rate

WHEREAS, the City of Moorpark has appealed the draft DFIRM, but such
appeal, even if successful, will not necessarily alter the designation on the 51 units in
question; and
WHEREAS, the Ventura County Water Protection District and the Federal
Emergency Management Agency have determined that if certain improvements are
made to the Arroyo Simi, the course of flooding in a storm event would change to the
extent that the DFIRM could be revised to remove the 51 units from the floodway,
thereby making them developable; and
WHEREAS, approximately thirty -four percent (34 %) of the 77 units in the Project
will be constructed at the time this Agreement was negotiated and executed, resulting in
the pro -rata requirement that 2.38 affordable units be constructed as part of the first 26
units of the Project.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS AGREED by and between Developer and City as follows:
SECTION 1. General Terms
1.1 The parties agree that this Affordable Housing Purchase and Sale
Agreement satisfies the requirements of the Affordable Housing Implementation and
Resale Restriction Plan and Affordable Housing Agreement referred to in the recitals.
1.2 The parties agree that two (2) of the first twenty -six (26) dwelling units
approved for occupancy in Tract 5133 shall consist of three (3) bedroom units of not

income households (80% of median income). The 2 units referenced above are
referred to as the "affordable units" or "affordable housing units ".
1.3 City shall be responsible for marketing the affordable units, selecting
and qualifying eligible buyers for the units, and overseeing the escrow processes to sell
the affordable units to low income households, including but not limited to all necessary
contracts and related documents (Affordability Documents) to ensure that referenced
affordable units remain occupied by low income households for the longest feasible
time. Developer agrees that the difference between the Affordable Sales Price (as
referenced in Section 4.2 of this Agreement) paid by a qualified buyer and market value
shall be retained by City as a second deed of trust. In the event of termination of this
Agreement, Developer shall in any event comply with the Conditions of Approval.
SECTION 2. Affordable Housing Fees
2.1 Developer agrees to pay to the City a fee which shall be used by the
City at its sole discretion for the purpose of providing housing affordable to very low, low
SAAssistant City Manager \Everyone\Agreements & Amendments \Shea Af Hsg Purch & Sale Agmt Shea -5133-

4
and moderate income households. The Affordable Housing In Lieu Fee (Affordable
Housing Fee) in the amount of Four Thousand Five Hundred Seventy -Three Dollars
($4,573.00) shall be paid prior to issuance of the building permit for each of the 77
dwelling units in the Project. In the event the Affordable Housing Fee has not been paid
for any of the first 26 units in the Project, such fees shall be paid prior to occupancy of
the first unit in the Project. Commencing on October 1, 2006, and annually thereafter,
the Affordable Housing Fee shall be adjusted by any increase in the Consumer Price
Index (CPI) until all required fees have been paid. The CPI increase shall be
determined by using the information provided by the U. S. Department of Labor, Bureau
of Labor Statistics, for all urban consumers within the Los Angeles /Anaheim /Riverside
metropolitan area during the prior year. The calculation shall be made using the month
of June over the prior month of June. In the event there is a decrease in the CPI for any
annual indexing, the Affordable Housing Fee shall remain at its then current amount
until such time as the next subsequent annual indexing which results in an increase.
2.2 In addition to the fee referenced in Section 2.1, Developer shall also
pay One Hundred Forty -Four Thousand Four Hundred Dollars ($144,400.00) to the City
prior to the first occupancy of the Project. Developer acknowledges that this payment is
intended to compensate the City for approximately Thirty -Eight Percent (38 %) of the
difference between the estimated market price ($540,000.00) and the Affordable Sales
Price ($160,000.00) for a low income household of 4 for one unit. City agrees to use
this payment at its sole discretion for the purpose of assisting in the provision of housing
affordable to very low, low and moderate income households. This fee shall be
adjusted, beginning October 1, 2006, and annually thereafter until paid, based on the
increase in the Consumer Price Index (C.P.I.) for all urban consumers within the Los
Angeles /Orange County /Riverside metropolitan area, using the month of June as
reference point for calculating annual change. In the event there is a decrease in the
CPI for any annual indexing, the In -Lieu Fee shall remain at its then current amount until
such time as the next subsequent indexing which results in an increase. At such time
as additional units are constructed in this development, any funds deposited with the
City pursuant to this Section 2.2 shall be credited without interest toward the Affordable
Housing Fee due to the City for the remaining units in the Project.
SECTION 3. Terms of Sale.
3.1 This Agreement shall supersede Condition No. 39 of TTM 5133, as
set forth in Resolution No. 99 -1666, and Condition No. 2 of RPD No. 98 -1, also as set
forth in Resolution No. 99 -1666. If any conflict exists between this Agreement and the

unit to a qualified buyer or City, City may at its sole discretion take any actions and
impose any conditions on buyer eligibility and on said sale or subsequent sale of the
unit to ensure ongoing affordability to low income households and related matters. After

City shall determine at its sole discretion which of the affordable units within the project
will be sold to each qualified low income buyer and which units shall be the affordable
units..
3.8 No less than thirty (30) days prior to the offering for sale to the
general public of the 26th unit in the Project, Developer shall provide City with a written
notice of said intended sale. Said notice shall include the proposed sale price. Within
thirty (30) days of receiving said notice, City may purchase the above - referenced unit
and enter into escrow at the stated price or such other price as may be negotiated by
the parties. If City does not respond in writing, accepting the offer within thirty (30) days
of receiving Developer's notice of intended sale, Developer may proceed with offering
the affected unit for sale to the general public. Developer warrants that said price shall
be no higher than what would be offered to a bona fide qualified purchaser from the
general public. City warrants that if it exercises its right to purchase, it will purchase
said unit for the purpose of reselling it to a qualified first time home buyer with income
not exceeding moderate income. Upon mutual agreement of the City and Developer,
said first time home buyer may be substituted for City with the requirement that the City
will work with the buyer to finance the purchase of the unit. Buyer shall receive all the
same new home warranties as the buyers of any market rate unit in the Project. In the
event the City does not exercise its right to purchase a unit under this paragraph,
Developer agrees to extend this right for one (1) unit of the remaining fifty -one (51)
units.
Developer also agrees to offer for sale to City no fewer than one (1) unit
(two if the City doesn't exercise its right to purchase Unit 26) of the remaining fifty -one
(51) units in the Project in the same manner as referenced above. This unit shall have
no fewer than three (3) bedrooms and two (2) baths and contain no fewer than 1,160
square feet. The location of this unit shall be selected by the Director of Community

the Project.
Developer shall also give the City right of first refusal to acquire any of the
first 23 units that fall out of escrow, not otherwise required to be sold to the City or a
qualified buyer as a part of the Developer's affordable housing requirement, as provided
for in the Affordable Housing Purchase and Sale Agreement. Upon receipt of
Developer's written notice, City shall have thirty (30) days to enter into escrow to
purchase any units offered for sale, and proceed to timely closing of escrow.
SECTION 4. Conditions of Purchase and Sale.

4.1 If a qualified low income buyer is identified by City prior to or at the
time of completion of either one of the affordable units, and by the date on which final
inspection approval is issued for said unit, Developer shall open escrow for the sale of
said unit as provided for in this Agreement, and shall enter escrow directly with the
buyer identified by City, and proceed to closing of said escrow. If a qualified low income
buyer has not been identified at the time Developer receives its final inspection approval
for an affordable unit, City agrees to purchase the affordable unit required to be
provided by Developer for the amount herein specified, subject to market conditions and
income limits at time of sale, and to enter into escrow accordingly. Developer and City
agree to use their best efforts to complete the close of escrow within forty -five (45) days
of the final inspection approval of an affordable unit.
4.2 The Affordable Sales Price for the low- income buyers shall not
exceed affordable housing cost, adjusted for family size appropriate for the unit, as
defined in Sec. 50052.5(b)(3) of California Health and Safety Code. For a household of
4, the current monthly "affordable housing cost" is 30% times 70% of $79,500.00, the
current median income for a household of 4 in Ventura County, divided by 12. This
monthly amount includes the components identified in Section 6920 of Title 25 of the
California Code of Regulations shown below. (See Section 50052.5(c) of the Health
and Safety Code.) The Affordable Sales Price for a low income household of 4 is One
Hundred Sixty Thousand Dollars ($160,000.00) under current market conditions, based
upon the following assumptions:

insurance of $25 per month, maintenance costs of $20 per month, and utilities of $162
per month for a household of 4, assuming a 3 bedroom unit.
4.3 In the event the monthly HOA fees for the affordable units exceed
$100.00, for each affordable unit Developer shall deposit $120.00 for each dollar or
portion thereof of the monthly HOA fees that are in excess of $100.00 into a City
administered trust to assist with future HOA fees for each affected affordable unit.
4.4 Developer acknowledges that changes in market conditions may
result in changes to the Affordable Sales Price, down payment amounts, mortgage
interest rates, and other factors for the low income units. Furthermore, if "affordable
housing cost", as defined in Section 50052.5(b) of California Health and Safety Code,
should change in the future, the above guidelines will be modified to achieve
substantially the same result as would otherwise have been obtained had it not been
changed.
4.5 In the event the City, at its sole discretion purchases one or more of
the affordable units from Developer in lieu of a qualified buyer, the Affordable Sales
Price shall be based on a household size of 4 persons and consistent with all
requirements of this section 4. Developer agrees that prior to and upon the sale of a
required unit to a qualified buyer (or City in lieu of a qualified buyer as determined by
City at its sole discretion), City may at its sole discretion take any actions and impose
any conditions on said sale or subsequent sale of the unit to ensure ongoing
affordability to low income households and related matters. After the sale of a housing
unit by Developer to a qualified buyer (or City in lieu of a qualified buyer as determined
by City at its sole discretion), City, not Developer, shall have sole responsibility for
approving any subsequent sale of that affordable housing unit.
4.6 In addition to its closing costs as the seller, Developer shall pay all of
buyer's closing costs for each unit, not to exceed $6,000 per unit. Beginning October 1,
2007, and on October 1St for each of fifteen subsequent years, the maximum $6,000 per
unit to be paid for closing costs shall be increased annually by any percentage increase
in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for All Urban Consumers for Los Angeles /Orange
County /Riverside metropolitan area during the prior year. The calculation shall be made
using the month of June over the prior year month of June. In the event there is a
decrease in the CPI for any annual indexing, the amount due shall remain at its then
current amount until such time as the next subsequent annual indexing which results in
an increase. The referenced Developer funded closing costs shall be for the benefit of
qualified buyers (or City in lieu of qualified buyers as determined by City at its sole
discretion for one or more of the required units) in their acquisition of a unit from
Developer, not Developer's acquisition of a unit from one or more third parties.
Developer's escrow cost shall not exceed the then applicable maximum amount per unit
regardless of the number of escrows that may be opened on a specific unit prior to the
closing of the initial sale to a qualified buyer or City in lieu of a qualified buyer.

4.7 In addition to the aforementioned closing costs, as part of the sale of
each affordable housing unit, Developer agrees to pay City two percent (2 %) of the then
applicable Affordable Sales Price (Processing Fee) to pay City for City staff time,
contract services, out -of- pocket costs, and related costs for the services necessary to
qualify eligible buyers, modify the Affordability Documents, if needed, and process the
purchase transactions. Developer further agrees that this Processing Fee shall be paid
to City at Developer's initial sale of each affordable housing unit, whether it is sold to a
qualified buyer selected by City, or to City in lieu of a qualified buyer, as determined by
City in its sole discretion.
SECTION 5. Quality of Construction.
Developer warrants that the quality of materials and construction
techniques of the affordable units sold to eligible low income buyers or City shall in all
manner be identical to that of all other units constructed in this project and subject to all
Conditions of Approval and shall meet all Building Codes.
SECTION 6. Amenities and Warranties.
Developer acknowledges that the affordable units will not be occupied by
City but, if purchased by City, will be sold to qualified low income buyer(s). Developer
agrees to provide the same amenities and home warranties associated with the
affordable units purchased by City as the amenities and home warranties associated
with the market rate units. Developer declares that all such warranties shall inure to the
benefit of and be enforceable by the ultimate occupants of the affordable units, and that
all warranties by subcontractors and suppliers shall inure to the benefit of and be
enforceable by such occupants. City shall have the same choices of finish options as

units shall be provided to City or buyer(s) of the affordable units, including, but not
limited to, color and style choices for carpeting and other floor coverings, counter tops,
roofing materials, exterior stucco and trim of any type, fixtures, and other decorative
items.

expense, with counsel reasonably acceptable to City, any action brought against it or
City by a purchaser of an affordable unit for any alleged construction defects or related
problems, or any action brought by any party to approve, extend or renew any permit,
related actions under CEQA, any subsequent permits to implement/construct the
project, and this Agreement. Developer further agrees to reimburse City for any court
costs and /or attorneys' fees which City may be required by the court to pay as a result
of any such action. City may, at its sole discretion, participate in the defense of any

such action at City's cost, but such participation shall not relieve Developer of its
obligation under this Section.
SECTION 8. Waiver.
Developer hereby covenants not to bring any action against City to (a)
attack, review, set aside, void, or otherwise annul this Agreement, in whole or in part, or
(b) recover any compensation or obtain any relief for any injury, damage, loss, or
deprivation of any right alleged to have been sustained as a result of City's action on
any matter related to this Agreement.
SECTION 9. Defaults and Remedies.
Each of the following shall constitute an "Event of Default" by Developer:
9.1.1 Failure by Developer to duly perform, comply with and observe any
of the conditions, terms, or covenants of the conditions of approval, or this Agreement, if
such failure remains uncured ten (10) days after written notice of such failure from City
to Developer in the manner provided herein or, with respect to a default that cannot be
cured within ten (10) days, if the Developer fails to commence such cure within such ten
(10) day period or thereafter fails to diligently and continuously proceed with such cure
to completion.
9.1.2 Any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement or in
any certificate or report submitted to City by Developer proves to have been incorrect in
any material respect when made.
9.1.3 A court having jurisdiction shall have made or rendered a decree or
order (a) adjudging Developer to be bankrupt or insolvent; (b) approving as properly
filed a petition seeking reorganization of Developer or seeking any arrangement on
behalf of Developer under the bankruptcy law or any other applicable debtor's relief law
or statute of the United States or of any state or other jurisdiction; (c) appointing a
receiver, trustee, liquidator, or assignee of Developer in bankruptcy or insolvency or for
any of its properties; or (d) directing the winding up or liquidation of Developer,
providing, however, that any such decree or order described in any of the foregoing
subsections shall have continued unstayed or undischarged for a period of ninety (90)
days.
9.1.4 Developer shall have assigned its assets for the benefit of its
creditors or suffered a sequestration or attachment or execution on any substantial part
of its property, unless the property so assigned, sequestered, attached, or executed
upon shall have been returned or released within ninety (90) days after such event
(unless a lesser time period is permitted for cure hereunder) or prior to sale pursuant to
such sequestration, attachment, or execution. If Developer is diligently working to
obtain a return or release of the property and City's interests hereunder are not

imminently threatened in City's reasonable business judgment, then City shall not
declare a default under this subsection.
9.1.5 Developer shall have voluntarily suspended its business or
dissolved.
9.1.6 Should there occur any default declared by any lender under any
loan document or deed of trust relating to any loan made in connection with this project
or property on which this project is to be constructed, which loan is secured by a deed
of trust or other instrument of record.
9.2 Liens. Developer shall pay and promptly discharge when due, at
Developer's cost and expense, all liens, encumbrances and charges upon the project or
the underlying property, or any part thereof or interest therein (except the lien of any
mortgage, deed of trust or other recorded instrument securing any construction or
permanent financing for the project), provided that the existence of any mechanic's,
laborer's, materialman's, supplier's, or vendor's lien or right thereto shall not constitute a
violation of this Section if payment is not yet due under the contract which is the
foundation thereof and if such contract does not postpone payment for more than
forty -five (45) days after the performance thereof. Developer shall have the right to
contest in good faith the validity of any such lien, encumbrance or charge, provided that
within ten days after service of a stop notice or ninety days after recording of a
mechanic's lien, Developer shall deposit with City a bond or other security reasonably
satisfactory to City in such amounts as City shall reasonably require, but no more than
the amount required to release the lien under California law and provided further that
Developer shall thereafter diligently proceed to cause such lien, encumbrance or charge
to be removed and discharged, and shall, in any event, cause such lien, encumbrance
or charge to be removed or discharged not later than sixty (60) days prior to any
foreclosure sale. If Developer shall fail either to remove and discharge any such lien,
encumbrance or charge or to deposit security in accordance with the preceding
sentence, if applicable, then, in addition to any other right or remedy of City, City may,
but shall not be obligated to, discharge the same, without inquiring into the validity of
such lien, encumbrance or charge nor into the existence of any defense or offset
thereto, either by paying the amount claimed to be due, or by procuring the discharge of
such lien, encumbrance or charge by depositing in a court a bond or the amount or
otherwise giving security for such claim, in such manner as is or may be prescribed by
law. Developer shall, immediately upon demand therefor by City, pay to City an amount
equal to all costs and expenses incurred by City in connection with the exercise by City
of the foregoing right to discharge any such lien, encumbrance or charge. To the extent
not paid, all costs and expenses paid by City shall be a lien on the Property pursuant to
Civil Code Section 2881.
9.3 Costs of Enforcement. If any Event of Default occurs, City may
employ an attorney or attorneys to protect its rights hereunder. Subject to California

expenses of such attorneys and all other costs of enforcing the obligations secured

includes the filing of a lawsuit.
9.4 Remedies Not Exclusive. City shall be entitled to enforce payment

or hereafter in force, notwithstanding some or all of the said indebtedness and obliga-
tions secured hereby may now or hereafter be otherwise secured, whether by guaranty,
mortgage, deed of trust, pledge, lien, assignment or otherwise. Neither the acceptance
of this Agreement nor its enforcement by court action shall prejudice or in any manner
affect City's right to realize upon or enforce any other security now or hereafter held by
City, it being agreed that City shall be entitled to enforce this Agreement and any other
security now or hereafter held by City, as applicable, in such order and manner as City
may in its absolute discretion determine. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved
to City is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy herein or by law provided or
permitted, but each shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy
given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. Every
power or remedy given by this Agreement to the City may be exercised, concurrently or
independently, from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by the City,
and it may pursue inconsistent remedies.
9.5 Enforcement; Specific Performance. City shall have the right to
mandamus or other suit, action or proceeding at law or in equity to require Developer to
perform its obligations and covenants under this Agreement or to enjoin acts or things
which may be unlawful or in violation of the provisions hereof.
9.6 Right of Contest. Developer shall have the right to contest in good
faith any claim, demand, levy, or assessment the assertion of which would constitute an
Event of Default hereunder. Any such contest shall be prosecuted diligently and in a
manner unprejudicial to City or the rights of the City hereunder.
9.7 Action at Law, No Remedy Exclusive. City may take whatever action
at law or in equity as may be necessary or desirable to enforce performance and
observance of any obligation, agreement or covenant of Developer under this
Agreement. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved by City is intended to be
exclusive of any other available remedy or remedies, but each and every such remedy
shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given under this
Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute. No delay or
omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default shall impair any such
right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of such right or power, but any such
