of any work or services with respect to the purchase of the Property, or the construction or

this Agreement or any portion thereof to a third party or subcontract with a third party to provide
services required by Borrower under this Agreement without the prior written consent of City.
Any such assignment or subcontract without City’s prior written consent will give City the right
to declare an Event of Default hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing restrictions, Borrower
may, with City’s prior written consent, assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to a
limited partnership formed to develop and own the Project. In connection with such assignment,
City and Borrower acknowledge and agree that this Agreement and any other loan documents shall

Total # of Affordable Units Proposed: 46
Sources of Committed Funds: Fund 241: Housing Asset Fund
Funding provided in this Agreement is from the following sources:
City Housing Asset Fund
FY 2019-20
TOTAL
$2,450,000 $2,450,000
Project Sources & Uses Development Budget:
The budget detailed in Exhibit D of this Agreement represents current financing projections for
the Project and are subject to change as the Project design and program is further refined.
2. City Affordable Housing Asset Fund
A. Determination of Restricted Units.
“Restricted Unit” means a residential unit that is subject to rent and occupancy restrictions
as a result of the financial assistance provided by City, as specified in the Loan Agreement
and City Documents. This Section shall be amended to include the specific levels of
affordability for each Restricted Unit once finally determined by the Parties. Under this
Agreement, 46 units of the Project will be designated as Restricted Units.
‐16-
In connection with this Agreement and prior to release of funds under this Agreement,
Borrower shall execute and record the Affordability Covenant restricting units as described
in Section 1 (Project Description) and Section 2 (City Affordable Housing Asset Fund) of
Exhibit A.
B. Affordability Requirements.
All Restricted Units in the Project must remain affordable for a minimum of fifty-five (55)
years.
1) Income Limits: All Restricted Units shall be offered for rent restricted and
affordable to low income households. This Section shall be amended to include the
specific levels of affordability for each Restricted Unit once finally determined by the
Parties. All of these units shall be considered Restricted Units as defined in Section
2 of this Exhibit A.
2) Special Considerations for units with Project Based Section 8 Rental
Assistance: If the Project receives an award of Project-Based Section 8 rental
assistance, the units receiving the project-based vouchers (“PBVs”) shall be
underwritten at the total subsidized rent for each unit paid by the project-based rental
assistance and the tenant in sum. If PBVs are terminated, rents for any Restricted
Units losing PBVs may be increased to the federally-permitted maximums in
accordance with current California Tax Credit Allocation Committee (“CTCAC”)
Regulations.
If a PBV is terminated, and the current tenant is unable to pay the maximum CTCAC-
allowable rent, Borrower may, upon advance written notice to City, transition targeted
units detailed in Section 3.A (Unit Affordability Provisions) of this Exhibit A as
follows:
(a) First, to a household of the same targeted population that could afford to
pay the maximum CTCAC rent allowed; and if there is no household that
meets this criterion,
(b) Second, to the next eligible household on Borrower’s waiting list that
could afford to pay the maximum CTCAC rent allowed.
For PBVs that are also HUD-Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (VASH) vouchers,
and if the current tenant is unable to pay the maximum CTCAC-allowable rent,
Borrower may, upon advance written notice to City, transition to these units as
follows:
‐17-
(a) First, to a homeless veteran household for whom the maximum CTCAC
rent allowed is affordable; and if there is no household that meets this
criterion,
(b) Second, to a homeless household for whom the maximum CTCAC rent
allowed is affordable; and if there is no household who meets this
criterion,
(c) Third, to a veteran household for whom the maximum CTCAC rent
allowed is affordable; and if there is no household who meets this
criterion,
(d) Fourth, to the next eligible household on Owner’s waiting list for whom
the maximum CTCAC rent allowed is affordable.
If PBVs are terminated, Borrower may request, and City may grant a reduction or waiver in
writing of the homeless household requirements described above, upon submission of
evidence that such requirements cause the Project to be financially infeasible.
3. Environmental Review
All applicable California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) requirements must be met for all
projects that receive City funding.
4. Project Completion
Project Completion is defined as completion of construction of the Project as evidenced by
issuance of Final Certificate of Occupancy or some other document acceptable to City (“Project
Completion Document”).
5. Compliance Period
The Compliance Period is defined as the time frame beginning immediately upon Project
Completion and ending on the later of fifty-five (55) years from the first day of the Compliance
Period or the Note Maturity set forth in the Note. Borrower shall provide City with a Housing
Completion Report, including final Project funding sources and uses, and tenant profile described
below on forms acceptable to City within the first 180 days of the Compliance Period. Upon
Borrower request to City, the due dates for these reports may be extended to accommodate a longer
lease-up period if Borrower has demonstrated reasonable diligence and progress toward achieving
100% occupancy.
6. Property Standards
Construction of the Project must fully comply with all applicable local and State building codes
and regulations, and Borrower must operate and maintain the Property and Project in a manner
that ensures the Property and Project will continue to comply with said codes and regulations.
Borrower’s operations and maintenance of the Project must ensure that its appearance from all
‐18-
public right-of-ways continually presents the Project in a high-quality manner and complies with
provisions of the Affordability Covenant and Deed of Trust.
7. Contract Number
All correspondence, invoices, payments, and reports must include the City contract number. The
City will provide the contract number upon disposition of the Property to Borrower.
8. Rents and Occupancy
Project financing is anticipated to include proceeds from Low-Income Housing Tax Credits
(“LIHTC”). For LIHTC projects, City shall defer to income certification and calculation
requirements imposed by tax credits. If project financing does not include tax credits, Borrower
shall rely on income determination calculations set forth in 24 CFR Part 5 (i.e., the Section 8
Voucher Program).
9. Security/Term/Loan Terms
Unless otherwise noted herein, funding is provided in the form of a loan or loans, in accordance
with terms described in this Paragraph. Should funding provided in this Agreement include more
than one City funding source, separate Note(s) and Deeds of Trust will be executed for each
funding source. For each funding source, prior to any disbursement of funds, Borrower shall
execute and deliver a Note in the amount indicated below and a Deed of Trust in favor of City to
secure the performance of all terms and conditions of the Note and this Agreement.
The Note will be non-recourse. The Deed of Trust will be recorded in the Office of the Recorder
of the County of San Mateo upon Borrower’s acquisition of the Property. The Deed of Trust may
be subordinate to the liens of any senior lenders.
No interest will accrue on the Note unless Borrower commits and Event of Default under this
Agreement or any of the City Documents. The City may, in the sole and absolute discretion of the
City forgive the Loan at the Note Maturity if no Event of Default has occurred or is occurring. If
an Event of Default has occurred, the entire outstanding balance of the Loan shall become
immediately due and payable and such amount shall be deemed to have accrued simple interest at
the rate of three percent (3%) per annum, commencing on the date of disbursement through the
date of the Event of Default.
Beginning as of the date of the Event of Default and continuing until such time as the Loan is
repaid in full or default or breach is completely cured, the outstanding principal balance of the
Loan shall accrue the default rate of the lesser of either ten percent (10%), compounded annually,
or the highest rate permitted by law. The Note and Deed of Trust will be executed prior to any
Funding Source Note Amount Deed of Trust Amount
City Affordable Housing Asset Fund $2,450,000.00 $2,450,000.00
‐19-
disbursement of funds under this Agreement. Should there be a conflict in the language between
the Note and this Agreement, the Note will prevail.
10. Repayment
The provisions and requirements in this and foregoing sections will refer to each Note unless
stated otherwise. Annual payments on the Note will be made from Project Operations, which
begins on the first day of the month after the Project receives a Certificate of Occupancy, or some
other document evidencing completion acceptable to City. Annual payments will equal 50% of
Residual Receipts, with payment amount determined by disbursed amount of City funding
provided in this Agreement as a proportion of all local funding requiring repayment (to be
confirmed by City and Borrower in writing outside of this Agreement).
In cases where the City is not the sole subsidy lender requiring Residual Receipt payments, the
other subsidy lenders shall share their 50% portion of Residual Receipts in proportion to the size
of each lenders’ total contribution.
Where another subsidy lender requires payment based upon the subsidy lender’s sharing a greater
percentage than fifty percent (50%) of the Residual Receipts, then the City’s share of Residual
Receipts shall be adjusted to be equal to that lender’s greater percentage of Residual Receipts.
Payment will be first applied to outstanding interest, if any, and then to principal until the Note is
paid in full. In the event this payment is less than accumulated interest owed plus current interest,
any unpaid interest will carry over to the following year. Interest will not compound on this interest
carry-over. The entire outstanding principal balance plus any unpaid accrued interest will be due
and payable upon an Event of Default.
The first payment will be due no later than 120 days after the end of the Project’s first fiscal year
after the project receiving a Certificate of Occupancy. A copy of the annual independent financial
audit delineating Residual Receipts payment to City will also be delivered to City no later than
120 days after the end of each of the Project’s fiscal years.
“Residual Receipts” means, with respect to the Project’s fiscal year, the amount by which Gross
Revenue exceeds Annual Operating Expenses, as defined below.
“Gross Revenue” means all rental and incidental income from the Project, except for tenant
security deposits, loan proceeds and capital contributions insurance proceeds and any interest
earned on said deposits.
“Annual Operating Expenses” means costs reasonably and actually incurred for operations and
maintenance of the Project to the extent that they are consistent with an annual independent audit
performed by a certified public accountant using generally acceptable accounting principles. A
‐20-
copy of the audit will be delivered with payment as specified above. Costs associated with the
Project Operations and maintenance include the following: property and other taxes and
assessments imposed on the Project; premiums for property damage and liability insurance; utility
services not paid for directly by the tenants, including but not limited to water, sewer, trash
collection, gas, and electricity; maintenance and repairs including but not limited to pest control,
landscaping and grounds maintenance, painting and decorating, cleaning, common systems
repairs, general repairs, janitorial supplies, and others; resident services; additional supportive
services necessary to help residents maintain personal or household stability and housing status;
any license or certificates of occupancy fees required for operation of the Project; general
administrative expenses including but not limited to advertising, marketing, security services and
systems, professional fees for legal, audit, accounting and tax returns, and other; property
management fees and reimbursements including on-site manager expenses, not to exceed fees and
reimbursements which are standard in the industry and pursuant to a management contract
approved by City (which such approval will not be unreasonably withheld); resident services,
additional supportive services necessary to help tenants maintain personal or household stability
and housing status; annual cash deposited into a reserve for capital replacements of Project
improvements in an amount of up to $500 dollars per unit per year (increasing by 3% per annum),
provided any changes to the amount deposited into this replacement reserve will require City
approval; cash deposited into an operating reserve for the Project and such other reserves as may
be required by Borrower’s senior lender or tax credit investor; payments of any deferred developer
fee up to the maximum Net Developer Fee permitted under Section 11 (Developer Fee) below;
current and accrued general partner partnership management fee and current and accrued limited
partner asset management fee in the amount set forth in Borrower’s limited partnership agreement
(provided, however, following withdrawal of the investor limited partner from Borrower, the
limited partner asset management fee shall no longer be included as an Annual Operating Expense
for purposes of calculating Residual Receipts); and debt service payments of loans in senior
position to this loan. For avoidance of doubt, any deferred developer fee remaining after payment
of the Net Developer Fee may be paid only from Borrower's share of Residual Receipts.
Prior to start of Project Operations, Borrower will confirm in writing with City all fee and
reserve amounts to be included in the above calculations for Residual Receipts. Annual
operating expenses will not include the following: depreciation, amortization, depletion, or other
non-cash expenses, or any amount expended from a reserve account.
11. Developer Fee
The maximum cumulative cash developer fee (net of any general partner capital contributions)
that may be paid from development sources and/or as an operating expense shall not exceed the
maximum amount allowed under TCAC regulations (the “Net Developer Fee”). Any amount of
developer fee in excess of Net Developer Fee may be paid only from Borrower's share of Residual
Receipts.
‐21-
12. Excess Construction Proceeds/Cost Savings
“Surplus Construction Cash” is defined as the difference between total of all sources of funds
received for the Project and the total cost of the Project. If Surplus Construction Cash remains
after construction is completed and Borrower Form 8609 is filed, and all obligations to
construction contractors, subcontractors, and lenders for construction period expenses are
satisfied, Borrower shall reimburse City for its financial investment in the Project as set forth
herein. Borrower shall prepare and submit to City a Cost Certification detailing the amount of
Surplus Construction Cash, if any, at Project completion. City may, at its sole option, accept a Cost
Audit required by another funding source as evidence of Surplus Construction Cash, if any.
Borrower shall distribute Surplus Construction Cash among City and any other governmental
agency/agencies requiring reimbursement/repayment in direct proportion to the share of total
Project funds disbursed from each such agency funding the Project. These other agencies, and
respective amounts disbursed will be confirmed in writing outside of this Agreement prior to start
of construction of the Project. Any reimbursement to City will be counted toward repayment of
the amount owed on City Note[s], with such payment first applied toward any interest accrued
before reduction of the principal balance.
Borrower may opt to retain up to 50% of the Surplus Construction Cash proceeds with the other
50% to be distributed to City and other applicable public/governmental agencies in the proportion
described above. Should Borrower opt to retain a portion of the Surplus Construction Cash, its
portion shall be used solely for ongoing Project Operations or for payment of deferred Developer
Fees. In either case, Borrower shall inform City of its intent to retain up to 50% of the Surplus
Construction Cash, and provide a detailed description of the intended use[s] of the Surplus
Construction Cash, as well as the identity of any other public/governmental funding agencies, in
writing, no later than the permanent loan closing date.
13. Prepayment
Prepayments may be made at any time without penalty.
14. Due on Sale, Refinance, or Transfer of Title
If Borrower sells, refinances or transfers the Property or Project or any interest therein without
prior written consent of the City Manager or his/her designee, it shall be considered an Event of
Default and the entire principal balance of the Note, including any accumulated interest accrued
pursuant to Exhibit A, shall be immediately due and payable. However, (i) the transfer of limited
partner interests in Borrower to a Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (“LIHTC”) investor, (ii) the
subsequent transfer of such limited partner interests for the purpose of syndicating the LIHTC, or
(iii) the granting of an option or right of first refusal by the City and any transfer pursuant to such
option or right of first refusal as agreed to by the City shall not be considered a sale, refinance or
transfer of the Project for purposes of this section. Replacement of a general partner of Borrower
‐22-
with any other entity shall be subject to prior written approval of City, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld.
Borrower may transfer or assign all or any portion of its interest, right or obligations in the Property
only as set forth in the City Documents and with City’s prior written consent, which consent City
shall not withhold provided that (1) the Project is and shall continue to be operated in compliance
with this Agreement and the City Documents; (2) the transferee expressly assumes all obligations
of Borrower imposed by this Agreement and the City Documents; (3) the transferee executes all
documents reasonably requested by the City with respect to the assumption of the Borrower’s
obligations under this Agreement and the City Documents and upon City’s request, delivers to the
City an opinion of its counsel to the effect that such document and this Agreement and the City
Documents are valid, binding and enforceable obligations of such transferee; and (4) either (A) the
transferee has at least three years’ experience in the ownership, operation and management of low-
income multifamily rental housing projects of similar size to that of the Project, without any record
of material violations of nondiscrimination provisions or other state or federal laws or regulations
applicable to such projects, or (B) the transferee agrees to retain a property management firm with
the experience and record described in sub-clause (A).
Consent to any proposed Transfer may be given by the City Manager unless the City Manager, in
his or her discretion, refers the matter of approval to the City Council. If a proposed Transfer has
not been approved by City in writing within ninety (90) days following City’s receipt of written
request by Borrower, it shall be deemed approved.
Borrower shall reimburse City for all City costs, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’
fees, incurred in reviewing instruments and other legal documents proposed to effect a Transfer
under this Agreement, the City Documents and in reviewing the qualifications and financial
resources of a proposed successor, assignee, or transferee within ten (10) days following City’s
delivery of an invoice detailing such costs.

City of South San Francisco, a municipal corporation, (“City”) the sum of Two Million Four Hundred Fifty
Thousand Dollars ($2,450,000.00) plus interest (the “Loan”). All payments on this Note shall be made to
City at 400 Grand Avenue, South San Francisco, CA 94080 or such other place as City shall designate to
Borrower in writing, or by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by City
in writing.
This Secured Promissory Note (this "Note") has been executed and delivered pursuant to a Loan
Agreement dated as of the date hereof by and between Borrower and City (the "Loan Agreement"), and
is subject to the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement, which are by this reference incorporated
herein and made a part hereof. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning
ascribed to such terms in the Loan Agreement.
This Note is secured by a Leasehold Deed of Trust, Assignment of Rents, Security Agreement and Fixture
Filing ("Deed of Trust") dated as of the date hereof, executed by Borrower for the benefit of City and
encumbering Borrower's interest in the property described therein. City shall be entitled to the benefits
of the security provided by the Deed of Trust and shall have the right to enforce the covenants and
agreements contained herein, in the Deed of Trust, and the Loan Agreement.
Use of Loan Funds: Proceeds for this Loan come from the City’s Housing Trust Fund. Said proceeds will be
used for the purchase of 201‐219 Grand Avenue, known as County Assessor's Parcel Numbers 012‐316‐
110, 012‐316‐100, 012‐316‐090 and 012‐316‐080 (the “Property”) and re‐development of the Property
into a mixed use, high‐density, residential apartment building of forty‐six (46) affordable residential units
and one manager’s unit and approximately 6,000 square feet of ground floor commercial units (the
“Project”). The terms and conditions of the Loan are more specifically described in the “Loan Agreement
Between the City of South San Francisco and Grand and Linden Family Apartments, L.P.” (the
“Agreement”) by Resolution No.[add #], [add date] and the “Affordable Housing Regulatory Agreement
and Declaration of Restrictive Covenants between the City of South San Francisco and Grand and Linden
Family Apartments, L.P.” (“Affordability Covenant”) dated

Term: The term of this Note shall be from execution and shall mature fifty‐five (55) years from date of
Project Completion, as defined by issuance of a Final Certificate of Occupancy, or some other document
acceptable to the City, for the Project (the “Note Maturity”).
Repayment/Interest Rate: The principal amount under the Note shall bear no interest unless an Event of
Default occurs under this Note, the Agreement, Deed of Trust or Affordability Covenant (collectively “City
Documents”). In the City’s sole and absolute discretion, the Loan may be forgiven by the City at Note

an Event of Default has occurred, the entire outstanding balance of the Loan shall become immediately
due and payable and such amount shall be deemed to have accrued simple interest at the rate of three
percent (3%) per annum, commencing on the date of disbursement through the date of the Event of
Default.
Beginning as of the date of the Event of Default and continuing until such time as the Loan is repaid in full
or default or breach is completely cured, the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall accrue the
default rate of the lesser of either ten percent (10%), compounded annually, or the highest rate permitted
by law. The City Documents shall be executed prior to any disbursement of funds under the Agreement.
The Deed of Trust shall be recorded as described in the section below entitled “Security.”
If payment is due, payment will first be applied to outstanding interest and then to any outstanding
principal until the Note is paid as set forth herein. In the event this payment is less than accumulated
interest owed plus current interest, any unpaid interest shall carry over to the following year. Interest
shall not compound on this interest carry‐over.
Due on Sale, Refinance or Transfer of Title: Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a sale,
refinance or transfer of the Project or Property or any interest therein by Borrower without prior written
consent of the City and in accordance with the terms of the City Documents, the entire principal balance
of this Note, including any accumulated interest, shall be immediately due and payable. However, (i) the
transfer of limited partner interests in Borrower to a Low‐Income Housing Tax Credit (“LIHTC”) investor,
(ii) the subsequent transfer of such limited partner interests for the purpose of syndicating the LIHTC, or
(iii) the granting of an option or right of first refusal by the City and any transfer pursuant to such option
or right of first refusal as agreed to by the City shall not be considered a sale, refinance or transfer of the
Project for purposes of this section. Replacement of a general partner of Borrower with any other entity
shall be subject to prior written approval of City, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
Borrower may transfer or assign all or any portion of its interest, right or obligations in the Property only

imposed by this Note and the City Documents; (3) the transferee executes all documents reasonably
requested by the City with respect to the assumption of the Borrower’s obligations under this Note and

of such transferee; and (4) either (A) the transferee has at least three years’ experience in the ownership,
operation and management of low‐income multifamily rental housing projects of similar size to that of
the Project, without any record of material violations of nondiscrimination provisions or other state or
federal laws or regulations applicable to such projects, or (B) the transferee agrees to retain a property
management firm with the experience and record described in sub‐clause (A).
Consent to any proposed Transfer may be given by the City’s City Manager unless the City Manager, in his
or her discretion, refers the matter of approval to the City Council. If a proposed Transfer has not been

with the land and shall be binding on all parties and all persons claiming under them. The Property and all parts
or parcels of the Property shall be subject to these restrictions and shall pass with the Property and shall bind the
respective successors in interest of the Beneficiary. In the event of any breach of the covenants, conditions and
restrictions contained in this Deed of Trust, the Beneficiary, in addition to any other remedies available to it, may
institute or prosecute any suit which it may consider advisable in order to compel and obtain a decree for specific
performance of any obligation of any Trustor to use and maintain the Property in conformity with these
ROEM Development Corporation
Page 3
covenants. The forgoing provisions do not limit the right of the Beneficiary to foreclose or otherwise enforce any
other provision of the City Documents and Deed of Trust; provided, however, that in the event of any foreclosure
under any such mortgage, deed of trust or other lien or encumbrance, or sale pursuant to any power of sale
included in any such mortgage or deed of trust, the purchaser or purchasers and their successors and assigns and
the Property shall be, and shall continue to be, subject to all of the conditions, covenants and restrictions
contained in this Deed of Trust.
a. Use and Transfer Restrictions. During the fifty‐five (55) year period commencing with the date of the
issuance of a Final Certificate of Occupancy for the residential portion of the Project, or some other document
acceptable to Beneficiary, for the residential portion of the Project, and subject to Section 18 hereof, Trustor
shall comply with the following restrictions unless Trustor has first obtained the written approval of the
Beneficiary:
i. Trustor shall not convey, transfer or encumber any of the Property or permit the conveyance,
transfer, or encumbrance of such Property unless such assignee, transferee or encumbrancer has agreed, in
writing and in a form suitable for recordation, to be bound by the terms of the City Documents; and
ii. Trustor shall not add to, reconstruct, or demolish any part of the Property or improvements,
except as provided by the City Documents.
(2) Affordability Requirements. Pursuant to the City Documents, the Property shall remain affordable to
persons and families of low income, as designated and described in the Affordability Covenant, for not less than
fifty‐five (55) years commencing with the date of the issuance of a Final Certificate of Occupancy for the
residential portion of the Project, or some other document acceptable to Beneficiary, for the residential portion
of the Project.
(3) Maintenance of Property. To maintain the Property and the Project in good physical condition
(reasonable wear and tear excepted), in good repair, and in decent, safe, sanitary, habitable and tenantable living
conditions in conformity with all applicable state, federal, and local laws, ordinances, codes, regulations and City
Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, Trustor agrees to maintain the Project and the Property (including
without limitation, the residential units, common areas, meeting rooms, landscaping, driveways, parking areas
and walkways) in a condition free of all waste, nuisance, debris, unmaintained landscaping, graffiti, disrepair,
abandoned vehicles/appliances, and illegal activity, and shall take all reasonable steps to prevent the same from
occurring on the Property or at the Project. Trustor shall prevent and/or rectify any physical deterioration of the
Property and the Project and shall make all repairs, renewals and replacements necessary to keep the Property
and the improvements located thereon in good condition and repair. Trustor shall provide adequate security
services for occupants of the Project.
In the event that Trustor breaches any of the covenants in this Section 3, and such default continues for a period
of thirty (30) days after written notice from City, then City, in addition to any other remedy it may have under
this Agreement or at law or in equity, shall have the right, but not the obligation, to enter upon the Property and
perform all acts and work necessary to protect, maintain, and preserve the improvements and the landscaped
areas on the Property.
All costs expended by City in connection with the foregoing shall be paid by Trustor to City upon demand. Failure
to pay all such sums remaining within thirty (30) days following delivery of City’s invoice therefor shall constitute
an Event of Default and shall bear interest at the lesser of 8% per annum or the highest rate permitted by
applicable law and Beneficiary may add the amount thereof to the principal balance of the Note hereby secured.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section, City agrees that it will provide Owner with not
less than thirty (30) days’ written notice prior to undertaking any work for which Owner will incur a financial
obligation.
ROEM Development Corporation

(4) Insurance. To provide, maintain and deliver to Beneficiary fire insurance satisfactory to and with loss
payable to Beneficiary. Notwithstanding anything contained in any of the documents evidencing the Loan from
Beneficiary to Trustor, unless Beneficiary and Trustor otherwise agree in writing, insurance proceeds shall be
applied to restoration or repair of the Property consistent with the occupancy and rent restriction requirements
set forth in the City Documents. Such work shall be commenced as soon as reasonably practicable after the
damage or loss occurs and shall be completed within one year thereafter or as soon as reasonably practicable,
provided that insurance proceeds are available to be applied to such repairs or restoration within such period
and the repair or restoration is financially feasible. During such time that lenders or low‐income housing tax credit
investors providing financing for the Project impose requirements that differ from the requirements of this
Section the requirements of such lenders and investors shall prevail.
If such restoration or repair is not economically feasible or if a default exists after expiration of all applicable
cure periods, the insurance proceeds shall be applied to the sums secured by this Deed of Trust, with the excess,
if any, paid to Trustor. In the event funds for such work are insufficient, Beneficiary may, at its option, advance
such additional funds as may be necessary to allow the Property to be repaired or restored, and may add the
amount thereof to the principal balance of the Note hereby secured.
(5) Protection of Beneficiary’s Security: To appear in and defend any action or proceeding purporting to
affect the security hereof or the rights or powers of Beneficiary or Trustee; and to pay all costs and expenses,
including costs of evidence of title and attorney's fees. If Trustor fails to perform the covenants and agreements
contained in this Deed of Trust, or if any action or proceeding is commenced which materially affects Beneficiary's
interest in the Property, including, but not limited to, foreclosure, involuntary sale, eminent domain, insolvency,
code enforcement, or arrangements or proceedings involving a bankrupt or decedent, then Beneficiary, at its
option, upon notice to Trustor, may make such appearances, disburse such sums and take such action as is
necessary to protect Beneficiary's interest. Nothing contained in this Section 5 shall require Beneficiary to incur
any expense or take any action.
(6) Charges and Liens. To pay at least ten days before delinquency all taxes and assessments affecting the
Property, including assessments on appurtenant water stock; when due, all encumbrances, charges and liens,
with interest, on the Property or any part hereof, which appear to be prior or superior hereto; all costs, fees and
expenses of this Trust.
Should Trustor fail to make any payment or to do any act as herein provided, then Beneficiary or Trustee,
but without obligation to do so and without notice to or demand upon Trustor and without releasing Trustor
from any obligation hereof, may: make or do the same in such manner and to such extent as either may deem
necessary to protect the security hereof, Beneficiary or Trustee being authorized to enter upon the Property for
such purposes; appear in and defend any action or proceeding purporting to affect the security hereof or the
rights or powers of Beneficiary or Trustee; pay purchase, contest or compromise any encumbrance charge or lien
which in the judgment of either appears to be prior or superior hereto; and in exercising any such powers, pay
necessary expenses, employ counsel and pay his/her reasonable fees.
(7) Timely Payment. To pay immediately and without demand all sums so expended by Beneficiary or
Trustee, with interest from date of expenditure at the amount allowed by law in effect at the date hereof, and
to pay for any statement provided for by law in effect at the date hereof regarding the obligation secured hereby

statement is demanded.
(8) Awards for Damages. That the proceeds of any award or claim for damages, direct or consequential, in
connection with a total condemnation or taking of the Property, shall be applied to the sums secured by this
Deed of Trust, with the excess, if any, paid to Trustor, unless Trustor and Beneficiary otherwise agree in writing.
In the event of a partial condemnation or taking, the proceeds shall be applied to the restoration or repair of the
ROEM Development Corporation
Page 5
Property consistent with the occupancy and rent restriction requirements set forth in the City Documents. Such
work shall be commenced as soon as reasonably practicable after the partial condemnation or taking occurs and
shall be completed within one year thereafter or as soon as reasonably practicable, provided that condemnation
proceeds are available to be applied to such repairs or restoration within such period and the repair or restoration
is financially feasible. During such time that lenders or low‐income housing tax credit investors providing
financing for the Project impose requirements that differ from the requirements of this Section the requirements
of such lenders and investors shall prevail.
If such restoration or repair is not economically feasible or if a default exists after expiration of all applicable cure
periods, the condemnation proceeds shall be applied to the sums secured by this Deed of Trust, with the excess,
if any, paid to Trustor. In the event funds for such work are insufficient, Beneficiary may, at its option, advance
such additional funds as may be necessary to allow the Property to be repaired or restored, and may add the
amount thereof to the principal balance of the Note hereby secured.
(9) Waiver. That by accepting payment of any sum secured hereby after its due date, Beneficiary does not
waive its right to require prompt payment when due of all other sums so secured or to declare default for failure
so to pay.
(10) Trustee Reconveyance. That at any time or from time to time, without liability therefor and without
notice, upon written request of Beneficiary and presentation of this Deed and said note for endorsement, and
without affecting the personal liability of any person for payment of the indebtedness secured hereby, Trustee
may reconvey any part of the Property; consent to the making of any map or plot thereof; join in granting any
easement thereon; or join in any extension agreement of any agreement subordinating the lien or charge hereof.
(11) Reconveyance. That upon written request of Beneficiary stating that all sums secured hereby have
been paid and the affordability covenants compliance period herein described has terminated, and upon
surrender of this Deed and said Note to Trustee for cancellation and retention and upon payment of its fees,
Trustee shall reconvey, without warranty, the Property then held hereunder. The recitals in such reconveyance
of any matters or facts shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof. The grantee in such reconveyance
may be described as "the person or persons legally entitled thereto." Five years after issuance of such full
reconveyance, Trustee may destroy said Note and this Deed (unless directed in such request to retain them).
(12) Rents. That as additional security and subject to the rights of senior lenders, Trustor hereby gives to
and confers upon Beneficiary the right, power and authority, during the continuance of these Trusts, to collect
the rents, issues and profits of the Property, reserving unto Trustor the right, prior to any default by Trustor in
payment of any indebtedness secured hereby or in performance of any agreement hereunder, to collect and
retain such rents, issues and profits as they become due and payable. Upon any such default, Beneficiary may at
any time without notice, either in person, by agent or by a receiver to be appointed by a court, and without
regard to the adequacy of any security for the indebtedness hereby secured, enter upon and take possession of
the Property or any part thereof, in its own name sue or otherwise collect such rents, issues and profits, including
those past due and unpaid, and apply the same, less costs and expenses of operation and collection, including
reasonable attorney's fees, upon any indebtedness secured hereby and in such order as Beneficiary may
determine. The entering upon and taking possession of the Property, the collection of such rents, issues and
profits and the application thereof as aforesaid, shall not cure or waive any default or notice of default hereunder

acknowledged, is made a public record as provide by law. Trustee is not obligated to notify any party hereto of
pending sale under any other deed of trust or of any action or proceeding in which Trustor, Beneficiary or Trustee
shall be a party unless brought by Trustee.

any documents secured by this Deed of Trust or contained in any subordination agreement, Beneficiary

PURPOSES OF THIS SECTION. REPLACEMENT OF THE GENERAL PARTNER OF TRUSTOR WITH ANY
OTHER ENTITY SHALL BE SUBJECT TO PRIOR WRITTEN APPROVAL OF CITY, WHICH SHALL NOT BE
UNREASONABLY WITHHELD.
Trustor may transfer or assign all or any portion of its interest, right or obligations in the Property only as set

Deed of Trust and the City Documents are valid, binding and enforceable obligations of such transferee; and (4)
either (A) the transferee has at least three years’ experience in the ownership, operation and management of
low‐income multifamily rental housing projects of similar size to that of the Project, without any record of
material violations of nondiscrimination provisions or other state or federal laws or regulations applicable to such
projects, or (B) the transferee agrees to retain a property management firm with the experience and record
described in sub‐clause (A).
Consent to any proposed Transfer may be given by the City’s City Manager unless the City Manager, in his or her
discretion, refers the matter of approval to the City Council. If a proposed Transfer has not been approved by
City in writing within ninety (90) days following City’s receipt of written request by Trustor, it shall be deemed
approved.
Trustor shall reimburse City for all City costs, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in
reviewing instruments and other legal documents proposed to effect a Transfer under this Deed of Trust and the
City Documents and in reviewing the qualifications and financial resources of a proposed successor, assignee, or
transferee within ten (10) days following City’s delivery of an invoice detailing such costs.
Accordingly, the undersigned acknowledges and agrees that, consistent with applicable law, City may accelerate
the maturity date of the principal and accrued interest on the Note in the event that the Property is sold,
conveyed or alienated, except as may be prohibited by law, including section 2924.6 of the California Civil Code.
(19) Request for Notice. City requests that copies of any notices of default and notice of sale be sent to City
at the address set forth above.
(20) Priority. This Deed of Trust, regardless of order of recordation, is junior and subordinate to the

necessary to replace the general partner of Trustor in order to cure such default, then the cure period shall be
extended until the date sixty (60) days following the removal of the general partner of Trustor.

collectively referred to as the “Parties.”
RECITALS
A. Owner owns that certain real property located in the City of South San Francisco at
201-219 Grand Avenue, known as San Mateo County Assessor’s Parcel Nos. 012-316-110, 012-

develop the Property into a mixed use, high-density, residential apartment building of forty-six
(46) affordable residential units and one manager’s unit and approximately 6,000 square feet of
ground floor commercial units (the “Project”). Capitalized terms used and not defined in this
Agreement have the meaning ascribed to them in the DA.
C. Pursuant to Government Code Section 65915 and South San Francisco Municipal
Code Chapter 20.390, Owner has agreed that the Project will result in forty-six (46) units being
available to Eligible Households at an Affordable Rent as those terms are defined herein in Section
1. Furthermore, Owner has, pursuant to Section 20.390.010.B.7, requested development standard
waivers including; a reduction in parking from 58 spaces to 31 spaces, reduction in the number of

Project (“Loan”), as further set forth in the DA and the Loan Agreement entered into between the
Parties (“Loan Agreement”) concurrently herewith.
E. As required by the DA, density bonus requirements and as a condition to its
agreement to provide the Loan, the City requires the Property to be subject to the terms, conditions
and restrictions set forth herein, specifically, the City requires that for a period of not less than
fifty-five (55) years, forty-six (46) residential units in the Project be rented at Affordable Rents to
Eligible Households (“Restricted Units”). The City requires Restricted Units assisted with funds
from the City’s Affordable Housing Asset Fund (Fund 241) to remain affordable for the longest
feasible time.
F. The Parties have agreed to enter into and record this Agreement in order to satisfy the
conditions described in the foregoing Recitals. The purpose of this Agreement is to regulate and
restrict the occupancy and rents of the Project’s Restricted Units for the benefit of the occupants of the
3
Project. The Parties intend the covenants set forth in this Agreement to run with the land and to be
binding upon Owner and Owner’s successors and assigns for the full term of this Agreement.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and other valuable consideration,
the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows.
AGREEMENT
1. Definitions. The following terms have the meanings set forth in this Section wherever used
in this Agreement or the attached exhibits.
“Actual Household Size" means the actual number of persons in the applicable household.

and as defined below:
Studio – 1 person
One Bedroom – 1.5 people
Two Bedroom – 3 people
Three Bedroom – 4.5 people
“Affordable Rent” means the following amounts, less a utility allowance and such other

(“80% Units”), a monthly rent that does not exceed one-twelfth (1/12) of thirty percent (30%) of
eighty percent (80%) of AMI, Adjusted for Family Size Appropriate for the Unit, and (ii) for units
that are restricted for rental to households with incomes of not more than one hundred twenty
percent (120%) of AMI (“120% Units”), a monthly rent that does not exceed one-twelfth of thirty
percent (30%) of one hundred twenty percent (120%) of Area Median Income, Adjusted for Family
Size Appropriate for the Unit.
“Area Median Income” or “AMI” means the median income for San Mateo County,
California, adjusted for Actual Household Size, as determined by the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) pursuant to Section 8 of the United States Housing
Act of 1937 and as published from time to time by the State of California Department of Housing
and Community Development (“HCD”) in Section 6932 of Title 25 of the California Code of
Regulations or successor provision published pursuant to California Health and Safety Code

than or equal to the qualifying limits for households of Lower Income adjusted for actual household
size, as determined periodically by HUD on the basis of gross annual household income and
published by HCD in the Regulations for San Mateo County. If HUD ceases to make such
determination, “Lower Income” shall be defined as not greater than 80% of Area Median Income
adjusted for actual household size, as published by HCD in the Regulations. If both HCD and HUD
cease to make such determinations, City in its reasonable discretion may designate another
definition of “Lower Income” used by any other federal or state agency so long as such definition
is no more restrictive than that set forth herein.

to 120% of AMI, adjusted for actual household size as determined periodically by HCD on the
basis of gross annual household income and published in the Regulations for San Mateo County.

unit does not exceed the Affordable Rent, as adjusted for assumed household size in

guidelines.
“Restricted Unit” means a dwelling unit which is reserved for occupancy at an
Affordable Rent by a household of not more than a specified household income in accordance
with and as set forth in Sections 2.1 and 2.2 and Exhibit B.
2. Use and Affordability Restrictions. Owner hereby covenants and agrees, for itself and its
successors and assigns, that the Property shall be used solely for the operation of a multifamily
rental housing development in compliance with the DA, Loan Agreement, City Promissory Note
and City Deed of Trust and the requirements set forth herein (“City Documents”). Owner
represents and warrants that it has not entered into any agreement that would restrict or compromise
its ability to comply with the occupancy and affordability restrictions set forth in this Agreement or
other City Documents, and Owner covenants that it shall not enter into any agreement that is
inconsistent with such restrictions without the express written consent of City.
2.1 Affordability Requirements.
2.1.1 For a term of fifty-five (55) years commencing upon the date of issuance of
a final certificate of occupancy for the residential portion of the Project, not less than forty-six (46)
of the residential units of the Project shall be both Rent Restricted (as defined below) and occupied
(or if vacant, available for occupancy), available at Affordable Rents to Eligible Households. This
Section 2.1 shall be amended to include the specific levels of affordability for each Restricted Unit
once finally determined by the Parties. The forty-six (46) residential units subject to this
Agreement shall also be Rent Restricted and occupied by Eligible Households and allocated across
unit type as specified in Exhibit B once finally determined by the Parties.
2.1.2 Special Considerations for units with Project Based Section 8 Rental
Assistance: If the Project receives an award of Project-Based Section 8 rental assistance, the units
5
receiving the project-based vouchers (“PBVs”) shall be underwritten at the total subsidized rent
for each unit paid by the project-based rental assistance and the tenant in sum. If PBVs are
terminated, rents for any Restricted Units losing PBVs may be increased to the federally-permitted
maximums in accordance with current California Tax Credit Allocation Committee (“CTCAC”)
regulations.
If a PBV is terminated, and the current tenant is unable to pay the maximum
CTCAC-allowable rent, Owner may, upon advance written notice to City, transition targeted units
detailed in Exhibit B as follows:
(a) First, to a household of the same targeted population
that could afford to pay the maximum CTCAC rent allowed; and if there
is no household that meets this criterion,
(b) Second, to the next eligible household on Owner’s
waiting list that could afford to pay the maximum CTCAC rent allowed.
For PBVs that are also HUD-Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (VASH)
vouchers, and if the current tenant is unable to pay the maximum CTCAC-allowable rent,
Borrower may, upon advance written notice to City, transition to these units as follows:
(a) First, to a homeless veteran household for whom the
maximum CTCAC rent allowed is affordable; and if there is no household
that meets this criterion,
(b) Second, to a homeless household for whom the
maximum CTCAC rent allowed is affordable; and if there is no household
who meets this criterion,
(c) Third, to a veteran household for whom the
maximum CTCAC rent allowed is affordable; and if there is no household
who meets this criterion,
(d) Fourth, to the next eligible household on Owner’s
waiting list for whom the maximum CTCAC rent allowed is affordable.
If PBVs are terminated, Borrower may request, and City may grant a reduction or
waiver in writing of the homeless household requirements described above, upon submission of
evidence that such requirements cause the Project to be financially infeasible.
2.1.3 Recertification. In the event that recertification of Eligible Household incomes
indicates that the number of Restricted Units actually occupied by Eligible Households falls below
the number reserved for each income group as specified in this Section 2.1 and Exhibit B, Owner
shall rectify the condition by renting the next available dwelling unit(s) in the Project to Eligible
Household(s) until the required income mix is achieved. If the income of a household occupying
an extremely-low income unit (“ELI Unit”) increases to or beyond 50% of the AMI at
recertification, the unit will no longer qualify as an ELI Unit for purposes of compliance with this
Agreement and the Loan Agreement. In that scenario, the next vacancy in a unit of similar size
6
shall be filled with a household earning up to 30% AMI, qualifying that unit as an ELI Unit for
purposes of compliance.
2.2 Rents for Restricted Units. Rents for Restricted Units shall be limited to Affordable
Rents for households of the applicable income limit in accordance with Section 2.1 and Exhibit
B. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Eligible Household qualifying for a Restricted Unit shall be
denied continued occupancy of a unit in the Project because, after admission, such Eligible
Household's adjusted income increases to exceed the qualifying limit for such Restricted Unit
except as specified in this Section 2.2. If, upon recertification of the income of a Resident of a
Unit, the Owner determines that the Resident has an Adjusted Income exceeding the maximum
qualifying income for the Unit, such Resident shall be permitted to continue occupying the Unit
upon expiration of the Resident's lease, and upon sixty (60) days written notice, the Rent shall be
increased to thirty percent (30%) of the Resident's Adjusted Income, subject to the maximum rent
allowed pursuant to other funding restrictions.
2.2.1 Termination of Occupancy of Restricted Unit by Eligible Household.
Upon termination of occupancy of a Restricted Unit by an Eligible Household, Owner shall
rent the Unit shall to another Eligible Household at Affordable Rents in accordance with Section
2.1 and Exhibit B within thirty (30) days of termination of occupancy by the former Eligible
Household.
2.3 Unit Sizes, Design and Location. The Restricted Units shall be of comparable
design quality as unrestricted units in the Project and among the different affordability categories
set forth in Exhibit B. Eligible Households of Restricted Units shall have access to all common
facilities of the Project equal to that of Eligible Households of units in the Project that are not
Restricted Units and among the affordability categories set forth in Exhibit B. The Restricted Units
shall be allocated among affordability categories as set forth in Exhibit B.
2.4 City Loan Funds. Owner shall ensure that all City Loan Funds are used for the
construction of the Project in a manner consistent with the applicable City Loan Funds
requirements and City Documents’ terms, which at a minimum, requires residential rental units
assisted with funds from the City’s Affordable Housing Asset Fund (Fund 241) to remain
affordable for the longest feasible time.
2.5 No Condominium Conversion. Owner shall not convert the residential units in the
Project to condominium or cooperative ownership or sell condominium or cooperative rights to the
residential portion of the Project or any part thereof unless Owner obtains the City's consent and
meets which consent shall be conditioned upon Owner's agreement to ensure that the Restricted
Units remain available as affordable housing. Prior to conveyance of any Restricted Unit(s), the
buyer(s) of the for-sale Restricted Units shall enter into an affordable housing agreement, in a
form approved by the City Manager and City Attorney, that maintains the affordability of the
unit for the minimum term set forth in this Agreement, the City Documents or in California law
whichever is greater..
2.6 Non-Discrimination; Compliance with Fair Housing Laws.
2.6.1 Preferences. In order to ensure that there is an adequate supply of affordable
7
housing within the City for City residents and employees of businesses located within the City, to
the extent permitted by law and consistent with the program regulations for funding sources used
for development of the Project, at initial lease up, Owner shall give a preference in the rental of
the residential units in the Project to Eligible Households that include at least one member who
lives or works in the City of South San Francisco. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of
a conflict between this provision and the provisions of Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended, the provisions of such Section 42 shall control.
2.6.2 Fair Housing. Owner shall comply with state and federal fair housing laws
in the marketing and rental of the units in the Project. Owner shall accept as Eligible Households,
on the same basis as all other prospective Eligible Households, persons who are recipients of
federal certificates or vouchers for rent subsidies pursuant to the existing Section 8 program or any
successor thereto.
2.6.3 Non-Discrimination. Owner shall not restrict the rental, sale, lease,
sublease, transfer, use, occupancy, tenure or enjoyment of the Property or Project, or any portion
thereof, on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, gender, gender identity, gender expression, sexual
orientation, marital status, national origin, ancestry, familial status, source of income, disability,
or genetic information of any person. Owner covenants for itself and all persons claiming under
or through it, and this Agreement is made and accepted upon and subject to the condition that there
shall be no discrimination against or segregation of any person or group of persons on account of
any basis listed in subdivision (a) or (d) of Section 12955 of the Government Code, as those bases
are defined in Sections 12926, 12926.1, subdivision (m) and paragraph (1) of subdivision (p) of
Section 12955, and Section 12955.2 of the Government Code, in the sale, lease, sublease, transfer,
use, occupancy, tenure or enjoyment of the Property, Project or part thereof, nor shall Owner or
any person claiming under or through Owner establish or permit any such practice or practices of
discrimination or segregation with reference to the selection, location, number, use or occupancy
of tenants, lessees, subtenants, sub lessees or vendees in, of, or for the Property, Project or part
thereof.
All deeds made or entered into by Owner, its successors or assigns, as to any portion
of the Property or Project shall contain the following language, and all leases or contracts made or
entered into by Owner, its successors or assigns, as to any portion of the Property or Project, shall
reference this Section, and shall enforce the same diligently and in good faith:
“(a) Owner herein covenants by and for itself, its successors and assigns, and all
persons claiming under or through it, that there shall be no discrimination against or segregation
of a person or of a group of persons on account of any basis listed in subdivision (a) or (d) of
Section 12955 of the Government Code, as those bases are defined in Sections 12926, 12926.1,
subdivision (m) and paragraph (1) of subdivision (p) of Section 12955, and Section 12955.2 of the
Government Code, in the sale, lease, sublease, transfer, use, occupancy, tenure or enjoyment of
the property herein conveyed nor shall the Owner or any person claiming under or through the
Owner establish or permit any such practice or practices of discrimination or segregation with
reference to the selection, location, number, use or occupancy of tenants, lessees, subtenants, sub
lessees or vendees in the property herein conveyed. The foregoing covenant shall run with the
land.
8
“(b) Notwithstanding paragraph (a), with respect to familial status, paragraph (a)
shall not be construed to apply to housing for older persons, as defined in Section 12955.9 of the
Government Code. With respect to familial status, nothing in paragraph (1) shall be construed to
affect Sections 51.2, 51.3, 51.4, 51.10, and 799.5 of the Civil Code, relating to housing for senior
citizens. Subdivision (d) of Section 51 of the Civil Code and subdivisions (d) of Section 12955 of
the Government Code shall apply to paragraph (a).”
Violation of the non-discrimination provisions of this Agreement shall be
considered a breach of this Agreement and subject Owner to penalties, to be determined by the
City Manager, including but not limited to the following:
i. termination of this Agreement;
ii. disqualification of Owner from bidding on or being awarded a City
contract for a period of up to 3 years;
iii. liquidated damages of $2,500 per violation; and/or
imposition of other appropriate contractual and civil remedies and sanctions, as
determined by the City Manager.
To effectuate the provisions of this Section, the City Manager shall have the
authority to examine Owner’s employment records with respect to compliance with this Section
and/or to set off all or any portion of the amount described in this Section against amounts due to
Owner under this Agreement or City Documents.
Owner shall report to the City Manager the filing by any person in any court of any
complaint of discrimination or the filing by any person of any and all charges with the Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission, the Department of Fair Employment and Housing, or any
other entity charged with the investigation of allegations within 30 days of such filing, provided
that within such 30 days such entity has not notified Owner that such charges are dismissed or
otherwise unfounded. Such notification shall include the name of the complainant, a copy of such
complaint, and a description of the circumstance. Owner shall provide City with a copy of their
response to the Complaint when filed.
3. Reporting Requirements.
3.1. Eligible Household Certification. Project financing is anticipated to include
proceeds from Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (“LIHTC”). If the Project is awarded LIHTC,
City shall defer to income certification and calculation requirements imposed by tax credits. If the
Project financing does not include tax credits, Owner shall rely on income determination
calculations set forth in 24 CFR Part 5 (i.e., the Section 8 Voucher Program). Owner or Owner’s
authorized agent shall obtain from each household prior to initial occupancy of each Restricted
Unit, and on every anniversary thereafter, a written certificate containing all of the following in
such format and with such supporting documentation as City may reasonably require:
(a) The identity of each household member; and
9
(b) The total gross household income;
Owner shall retain such certificates for not less than three (3) years, and upon City’s
request, shall make the certificates available for City inspection.
3.2 Annual Report; Inspections. By not later than April 30th of each year during the
term of this Agreement, Owner shall submit an annual report (“Annual Report”) to the City in
form satisfactory to City, together with a certification that the Project is in compliance with the
requirements of this Agreement. The Annual Report shall, at a minimum, include the following
information for each dwelling unit in the Project: (i) unit number; (ii) number of bedrooms;
(iii) current rent and other charges; (iv) dates of any vacancies during the previous year;
(v) number of people residing in the unit; (vi) total gross household income of residents;
(vii) documentation of source of household income; and (viii) the information required by Section
3.1.
Owner shall include with the Annual Report, an income recertification for each household,
documentation verifying Eligible Household eligibility, and such additional information as City
may reasonably request from time to time in order to demonstrate compliance with this Agreement.
The Annual Report shall conform to the format requested by City; provided however, during such
time that the Project is subject to a regulatory agreement restricting occupancy and/or rents
pursuant to requirements imposed in connection with the use of state or federal low-income
housing tax credits, Owner may satisfy the requirements of this Section by providing City with a
copy of compliance reports required in connection with such financing.
3.3 On-site Inspection. Owner shall permit representatives of City to enter and inspect the
Property and the Project during reasonable business hours in order to monitor compliance with this
Agreement upon 48-hours advance notice of such visit to Owner or to Owner's management agent.
3.4 Additional Information. Owner shall provide any additional information reasonably
requested by City. The City shall have the right to examine and make copies of all books, records, or
other documents of the Owner which pertain to the Project.
3.5 Records. The Owner shall maintain complete, accurate and current records pertaining
to the Property and Project, shall comply with all program and fiscal reporting requirements set forth
by appropriate Federal, State, and local agencies, and as required by City, and shall permit any duly
authorized representative of the Federal, State, local agencies and City to inspect records, including
records pertaining to income and household size of Eligible Households. All Eligible Household lists,
applications and waiting lists relating to the Project shall at all times be kept separate and identifiable
from any other business of the Owner and shall be maintained in a reasonable condition for proper
audit and subject to examination during business hours by representatives of the City. Owner agrees
upon reasonable notice to provide to City or any Federal or State or local department having monitoring
or review authority, to City’s authorized representatives, and/or to any of their respective audit agencies
access to and the right to examine all records and documents necessary to determine compliance with
relevant Federal, State, and local statutes, rules, and regulations, to determine compliance with this
Agreement and the City Documents, and to evaluate the quality, appropriateness, and timeliness of
services performed. The Owner shall retain copies of all materials obtained or produced with respect
to occupancy of the Restricted Units for a period of at least five (5) years, and for any period during
10
which there is an audit undertaken by the City pursuant to the City Documents.
4. Term of Agreement.
4.1 Term of Restrictions. Unless extended by mutual agreement of the Parties, upon
the 55th anniversary of issuance of the final certificate of occupancy for the residential portion of
the Project, this Agreement shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect.
Owner shall provide all notices and rights to tenants required to be given prior to and upon the
expiration of affordability covenants pursuant to Government Code Section 65863.10 or a
successor statute.
4.2 Effectiveness Succeeds Conveyance of Property and Repayment of Loan. This
Agreement shall remain effective and fully binding for the full term hereof, as such may be extended
pursuant to Section 4.1, regardless of any repayment of the Loan, sale, assignment, transfer, or
conveyance of the Property or the Project or any part thereof or interest therein.
4.3 Reconveyance. Upon the expiration of this Agreement, the Parties agree to execute
and record appropriate instruments to release and discharge this Agreement; provided, however,
the execution and recordation of such instruments shall not be necessary or a prerequisite to
evidence the expiration of this Agreement, or to evidence the release and discharge of this
Agreement as a matter of title.
5. Binding Upon Successors; Covenants to Run with the Land. Owner hereby subjects its
interest in the Property and the Project to the covenants and restrictions set forth in this Agreement
and the City Documents. The Parties hereby declare their express intent that the covenants and
restrictions set forth in such Agreements shall be deemed covenants running with the land and
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, administrators, executors, successors in
interest, transferees, and assigns of the Parties, regardless of any sale, assignment, conveyance or
transfer of the Property, the Project or any part thereof or interest therein. Any successor-in-interest
to Owner, including without limitation any purchaser, transferee or lessee of the Property or the
Project (other than the Eligible Households of the individual dwelling units or retail/commercial
space within the Project) shall be subject to all of the duties and obligations imposed hereby and in
the City Documents for the full term of this Agreement. Each and every contract, deed, ground lease
or other instrument affecting or conveying the Property or the Project or any part thereof, shall
conclusively be held to have been executed, delivered and accepted subject to the covenants,
restrictions, duties and obligations set forth herein and the City Documents, regardless of whether
such covenants, restrictions, duties and obligations are set forth in such contract, deed, ground lease
or other instrument. If any such contract, deed, ground lease or other instrument has been executed
prior to the date hereof, Owner hereby covenants to obtain and deliver to City an instrument in
recordable form signed by the parties to such contract, deed, ground lease or other instrument
pursuant to which such parties acknowledge and accept this Agreement and the City Documents
and agree to be bound hereby.
Owner agrees for itself and for its successors that in the event that a court of competent
jurisdiction determines that the covenants herein or in the City Documents do not run with the
land, such covenants shall be enforced as equitable servitudes against the Property and the Project
in favor of City.
11
6. Property Management; Repair and Maintenance; Marketing.
6.1 Management Responsibilities. Owner, or Owner’s designee, shall be responsible for
all management functions with respect to the Property and the Project, including without
limitation the selection of Eligible Households, certification and recertification of household
income and eligibility, evictions, collection of rents and deposits, maintenance, landscaping,
routine and extraordinary repairs, replacement of capital items, and security. City shall have no
responsibility for management or maintenance of the Property or the Project.
6.2 Repair, Maintenance and Security. Throughout the term of this Agreement, Owner,
or Owner’s designee, shall at its own expense, maintain the Property and the Project in good
physical condition, in good repair (reasonable wear and tear excepted), and in decent, safe, sanitary,
habitable and tenantable living conditions in conformity with all applicable state, federal, and local
laws, ordinances, codes, regulations and City Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, Owner
agrees to maintain the Project and the Property (including without limitation, the residential units,
common areas, meeting rooms, landscaping, driveways, parking areas and walkways) in a
condition free of all waste, nuisance, debris, unmaintained landscaping, graffiti, disrepair,
abandoned vehicles/appliances, and illegal activity, and shall take all reasonable steps to prevent
the same from occurring on the Property or at the Project. Owner shall prevent and/or rectify any
physical deterioration of the Property and the Project and shall make all repairs, renewals and
replacements necessary to keep the Property and the improvements located thereon in good
condition and repair. Owner shall provide adequate security services for occupants of the Project.
6.2.1 City’s Right to Perform Maintenance. In the event that Owner breaches any
of the covenants contained in Section 6.2, and such default continues for a period of thirty (30) days
after written notice from City, then City, in addition to any other remedy it may have under this
Agreement or at law or in equity, shall have the right, but not the obligation, to enter upon the
Property and perform all acts and work necessary to protect, maintain, and preserve the
improvements and the landscaped areas on the Property.
6.2.2 Costs. All costs expended by City in connection with the foregoing Section
6.2.1, shall be paid by Owner to City upon demand. The failure to pay all such sums within thirty
(30) days following delivery of City’s invoice therefor shall constitute and Event of Default
hereunder and shall bear interest at the lesser of 8% per annum or the highest rate permitted by
applicable law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section, City agrees that
it will provide Owner with not less than thirty (30) days’ written notice prior to undertaking any
work for which Owner will incur a financial obligation.
6.3 Marketing and Management Plan. Within 180 days following the Effective Date
of this Agreement, Owner shall submit for City review and approval, a plan for marketing and
managing the Property (“Marketing and Management Plan” or “Plan”). The Marketing and
Management Plan shall address in detail how Owner plans to market the Restricted Units to
prospective Eligible Households in accordance with fair housing laws and this Agreement, Owner’s
Eligible Household selection criteria, and how Owner plans to certify the eligibility of Eligible
Households. The Plan shall also describe the management team and shall address how the Owner
and the management entity plan to manage and maintain the Property and the Project. The Plan
shall include the proposed management agreement and the form of rental agreement that Owner
12
proposes to enter into with Project Eligible Households. Owner shall abide by the terms of the
Marketing and Management Plan in marketing, managing, and maintaining the Property and the
Project, and throughout the term of this Agreement.
6.4 Approval of Amendments. If City has not responded to any submission of the
Management and Marketing Plan, the proposed management entity, or a proposed amendment or
change to any of the foregoing within sixty (60) days following City’s receipt of such plan, proposal
or amendment, the plan, proposal or amendment shall be deemed approved by City.
6.5 Fees, Taxes, and Other Levies. Owner shall be responsible for payment of all fees,
assessments, taxes, charges, liens and levies applicable to the Property or the Project, including
without limitation possessory interest taxes, if applicable, imposed by any public entity, and shall
pay such charges prior to delinquency. However, Owner shall not be required to pay any such
charge so long as (a) Owner is contesting such charge in good faith and by appropriate
proceedings, (b) Owner maintains reserves adequate to pay any contested liabilities, and (c) on
final determination of the proceeding or contest, Owner immediately pays or discharges any
decision or judgment rendered against it, together with all costs, charges and interest. Nothing in
this Section 6.6 is intended to prohibit Owner from applying for any exemption from property
taxes and fees that may be available to the owners of low-income housing.
6.6 Insurance Coverage. Throughout the term of this Agreement, Owner shall comply
with the insurance requirements set forth in the City Documents, and shall, at Owner’s expense,
maintain in full force and effect insurance coverage as specified in the City Documents.
6.7 Property Damage or Destruction. If any part of the Project is damaged or destroyed,
Owner shall repair or restore the same, consistent with the occupancy and rent restriction
requirements set forth in this Agreement and City Documents. Such work shall be commenced
as soon as reasonably practicable after the damage or loss occurs and shall be completed within
one year thereafter or as soon as reasonably practicable, provided that insurance proceeds are
available to be applied to such repairs or restoration within such period and the repair or restoration
is financially feasible. During such time that lenders or low-income housing tax credit investors
providing financing for the Project impose requirements that differ from the requirements of this
Section the requirements of such lenders and investors shall prevail.
7. Recordation; Subordination. This Agreement shall be recorded in the Official Records of
San Mateo County. Owner hereby represents, warrants and covenants that with the exception of
easements of record, absent the written consent of City, this Agreement shall not be subordinated in
priority to any lien (other than those pertaining to taxes or assessments), encumbrance, or other
interest in the Property or the Project. If at the time this Agreement is recorded, any interest, lien,
or encumbrance has been recorded against the Project in position superior to this Agreement, upon
the request of City, Owner hereby covenants and agrees to promptly undertake all action necessary
to clear such matter from title or to subordinate such interest to this Agreement consistent with the
intent of and in accordance with this Section 7, and to provide such evidence thereof as City may
reasonably request. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the City agrees that pursuant to Health and
Safety Code Section 33334.14(a)(4), the City will not withhold consent to reasonable requests for
subordination of this Agreement to deeds of trust provided for the benefit of lenders identified in
the Financing Plan approved in connection with the DA, provided that the instruments effecting
13
such subordination include reasonable protections to the City in the event of default consistent
with the requirements of Health and Safety Code Section 33334.14(a)(4), including without
limitation, extended notice and cure rights.
Any subordination request shall be subject to a $2,000.00 fee payable by Owner to City upon
Owner’s request for City to review instruments and other legal documents proposed to effect a
subordination under this Agreement.
Owner hereby: (i) represents and warrants that it is not affiliated in any way with the lender
identified in the Financing Plan approved in connection with the DA, and (ii) covenants that it will
not become so affiliated by acquiring an interest in such lender, or an interest in its loan, or
otherwise.
8. Transfer and Encumbrance.
8.1 Restrictions on Transfer and Encumbrance.
If Owner sells, refinances or transfers the Property or Project or any interest therein without prior
written consent of the City, it shall be considered an Event of Default and the entire principal
balance of the Note, including any accumulated interest accrued pursuant to Exhibit A of the Loan
Agreement, shall be immediately due and payable. However, (i) the transfer of limited partner
interests in Owner to a LIHTC investor, (ii) the subsequent transfer of such limited partner interests
for the purpose of syndicating the LIHTC, or (iii) the granting of an option or right of first refusal
by the City and any transfer pursuant to such option or right of first refusal as agreed to by the City
shall not be considered a sale, refinance or transfer of the Project for purposes of this section.
Replacement of the general partner of Borrower with any other entity shall be subject to prior
written approval of City, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
Owner may transfer or assign all or any portion of its interest, right or obligations in the Property
only as set forth in this Agreement and the City Documents and with City’s prior written consent,
which consent City shall not withhold provided that (1) the Project is and shall continue to be
operated in compliance with this Agreement and the City Documents; (2) the transferee expressly
assumes all obligations of Owner imposed by this Agreement and the City Documents; (3) the
transferee executes all documents reasonably requested by the City with respect to the assumption
of the Owner’s obligations under this Agreement and the City Documents, and upon City’s request,
delivers to the City an opinion of its counsel to the effect that such document and this Agreement
and the City Documents are valid, binding and enforceable obligations of such transferee; and (4)
either (A) the transferee has at least three years’ experience in the ownership, operation and
management of low-income multifamily rental housing projects of similar size to that of the
Project, without any record of material violations of nondiscrimination provisions or other state or
federal laws or regulations applicable to such projects, or (B) the transferee agrees to retain a
property management firm with the experience and record described in sub-clause (A).
Consent to any proposed Transfer may be given by the City’s City Manager unless the City
Manager, in his or her discretion, refers the matter of approval to the City Council. If a proposed
Transfer has not been approved by City in writing within ninety (90) days following City’s receipt
of written request by Owner, it shall be deemed approved.
14
Owner shall reimburse City for all City costs, including but not limited to reasonable
attorneys’ fees, incurred in reviewing instruments and other legal documents proposed to effect a
Transfer under this Agreement and the City Documents and in reviewing the qualifications and
financial resources of a proposed successor, assignee, or transferee within ten (10) days following
City’s delivery of an invoice detailing such costs.
8.3 Encumbrances. Owner agrees to use best efforts to ensure that all deeds of trust or
other security instruments and any applicable subordination agreement recorded against the
Property, the Project or part thereof for the benefit of a lender (“Lender”) shall contain each of
the following provisions: (i) Lender shall use its best efforts to provide to City a copy of any notice
of default issued to Owner concurrently with provision of such notice to Owner; and, (ii) City shall
have the reasonable right, but not the obligation, to cure any default by Owner within the same
period of time provided to Owner for such cure extended by an additional 90 days. Owner agrees
to provide to City a copy of any notice of default Owner receives from any Lender within thirty
(30) business days following Owner’s receipt thereof.
8.4 Mortgagee Protection. No violation of any provision contained herein shall defeat
or render invalid the lien of any mortgage or deed of trust made in good faith and for value upon
all or any portion of the Project or the Property, and the purchaser at any trustee’s sale or
foreclosure sale shall not be liable for any violation of any provision hereof occurring prior to the
acquisition of title by such purchaser. Such purchaser shall be bound by and subject to this
Agreement from and after such trustee’s sale or foreclosure sale. Promptly upon determining that

of any mortgages or deeds of trust encumbering the Project or the Property that such violation has
occurred.

litigation), claim, demand, action, suit, judicial or administrative proceeding, penalty, deficiency,
fine, order, and damage (all of the foregoing collectively “Claims”) arising directly or indirectly,
in whole or in part, as a result of or in connection with Owner’s construction, management, or
operation of the Property and the Project, the performance of any work or services required of
Owner under this Agreement, or Loan disbursement made pursuant to the Loan Agreement or any
failure to perform any obligation as and when required by this Agreement or the City Documents
or any other loss or cost, including but not limited to that caused by the concurrent active or passive
negligence of Indemnitees. Owner’s indemnification obligations under this Section 10 shall
survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement. It is further agreed that City does
not and shall not waive any rights against Owner that it may have by reason of this indemnity and
hold harmless agreement because of the acceptance by, or the deposit with City by Owner, of any
of the insurance policies described in this Agreement or the City Documents. However, Owner’s
duty to indemnify under this Section shall not apply to injuries or damage for which Indemnitees
have been found in a court of competent jurisdiction to be solely liable by reason of their own
gross negligence or willful misconduct.
11. Miscellaneous.
11.1 Amendments. This Agreement may be amended or modified only by a written
instrument signed by both Parties and any request for such shall be subject to a $2,000.00 fee

required by the City.
18
11.2 Waiver of Terms and Conditions. A Party may at its discretion waive in writing any
of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, without completing an amendment to this
Agreement. No waiver of any default or breach shall be implied from any omission by the non-
breaching Party to take action on account of such default if such default persists or is repeated, and
no express waiver shall affect any default other than the default specified in the waiver, and such
waiver shall be operative only for the time and to the extent therein stated.
Waivers of any covenant, term, or condition contained herein shall not be construed
as a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same covenant, term, or condition. The consent or
approval by a Party to or of any act by the other Party requiring further consent or approval shall
not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary the consent or approval to or of any subsequent
similar act. The exercise of any right, power, or remedy shall in no event constitute a cure or a
waiver of any default under this Agreement, nor shall it invalidate any act done pursuant to notice
of default, or prejudice the exercising Party in the exercise of any right, power, or remedy
hereunder.
11.3 Notices. Except as otherwise specified herein, all notices to be sent pursuant to this
Agreement shall be made in writing, and sent to the Parties at their respective addresses specified
below or to such other address as a Party may designate by written notice delivered to the other
parties in accordance with this Section. All such notices shall be sent by:
