PRELIMINARY OFFICIAL STATEMENT DATED ________, 2025
NEW ISSUE - BOOK ENTRY ONLY See “RATINGS” herein
In the opinion of Anzel Galvan LLP, Bond Counsel, under existing law and subject to certain qualifications described herein, the interest on the Bonds is excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes, except during any period while a Bond is held by a “substantial user” of the facilities financed by the Bonds or by a “related person” within the meaning of Section 147(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Interest on the Bonds is not an item of tax preference for purposes of the federal alternative minimum tax; however, interest on the Bonds may affect the federal alternative minimum tax applicable to certain corporations. Bond Counsel is also of the opinion that interest on the Bonds is exempt from personal income taxation imposed by the State of California. See “TAX MATTERS.” $________*

The Bonds will be issued to provide funding to Kooser Apartments, L.P., a California limited partnership (the “Borrower”), to enable the Borrower to pay a portion of the cost of acquiring, constructing and developing of a 191-unit multifamily rental housing development for low- and moderate-income persons in San José, California (the “Project”).
Pursuant to the Indenture and the Financing Agreement, dated as of ________ 1, 2025 (the “Financing Agreement”), by and among the Issuer, the Trustee, and the Borrower, the Borrower will cause, over time, Eligible Funds, including proceeds of the Construction Loan (as defined below) to be delivere d to the Trustee for deposit into the Collateral Fund established under the Indenture, in order to make the Bond proceeds available to the Borrower to pay costs of the Project. It is anticipated that, prior to the delivery of the MBS (as defined below), the Series 2025A-1 Bonds will be secured by, and the principal of and interest thereon will be paid from, amounts on deposit in the Series 2025A-1 Revenue Fund Account, the Series 2025A-1 Bond Proceeds Fund Account and the Series 2025A-1 Collateral Fund Account along with the investment earnings thereon.

The Borrower has obtained a construction loan (the “Construction Loan”) from Bank of America, N.A., a national banking association (the “Construction Lender”). From time to time, the Construction Lender will advance to the Trustee proceeds of the Construction Loan for deposit into the Collateral Fund in order to enable the Trustee to release Bond Proceeds to pay costs of the Project.

If the MBS is not delivered on or before the MBS Delivery Date Deadline (as defined herein), or is delivered in an amount less than the full principal amount of the Series 2025A-1 Bonds, then the Eligible Funds in the Series 2025A-1 Collateral Fund Account will be used to redeem the Series 2025A-1 Bonds as set forth herein.

INTRODUCTION
This Official Statement (which includes the cover page and appendices hereto) provides certain information in connection with the issuance and sale of the $________* City of San José Multifamily Housing Revenue Bonds (Fannie Mae MBS Secured) (Arcade) Series 2025A-1 (the “Series 2025A-1 Bonds”) and the $________* City of San José Multifamily Housing Revenue Bonds (Arcade) Series 2025A-2 (the “Series 2025A-2 Bonds,” and together with the Series 2025A-1 Bonds, the “Bonds”) issued by City of San José (the “Issuer”). The Bonds will be issued pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 7 of Part 5 of Division 31 of the California Health and Safety Code, as amended (the “Act”), and a certain resolution adopted on ________, 2025 (the “Resolution”) and secured by an Indenture of Trust, dated as of ________ 1, 2025 (the “Indenture”), between the Issuer and Computershare Trust Company, National Association, a national banking association , as trustee (the “ Trustee”). Pursuant to the Indenture and the Financing Agreement, dated as of ________ 1, 2025 (the “Financing Agreement”), among the Issuer, the Trustee, and Kooser Apartments, L.P., a California limited partnership (the “ Borrower”), the Issuer is issuing the Bonds to provide financing for a certa in low- and moderate-income multifamily rental housing development to be known as Arcade (the “Project”) in City of San José, California, as further described in the Term Sheet attached as Appendix H to this Official Statement (the “Term Sheet”) , by using the proceeds thereof to provide financing for the Project and, with respect to the Series 2025A-1 Bonds, to facilitate the delivery of the MBS (as defined below) guaranteed by the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”).
All capitalized terms used in this Official Statement that are defined in the Indenture shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Indenture. See “APPENDIX B — DEFINITIONS OF CERTAIN TERMS.” The Issuer, the Borrower and Lument Securities, LLC (the “Underwriter”) have entered into a Bond Purchase Agreement (the “ Bond Purchase Agreement ”), pursuant to which the Issuer will agree to sell the Bonds to the Underwriter. The transaction entered into under the Bond Purchase Agreement will provide for the issuance and sale to the Underwriter of the Bonds in a specified principal amount, with a specified interest rate, on a specified date and at a specified price. The delivery of the Bonds is subject t o the satisfaction of a number of conditions set forth in the Bond Purchase Agreement.
Prior to the date of delivery by Fannie Mae of the MBS (the “ MBS Delivery Date ”), the Series 2025A-1 Bonds will be secured by (i) the proceeds of the Series 2025A-1 Bonds delivered to the Trustee and deposited into the Series 2025A-1 Bond Proceeds Fund Account established under the Indenture, (ii) Eligible Funds, delivered to the Trustee and deposited into the Series 2025A-1 Revenue Fund Account established under the Indenture, in an amount equal to the interest on the Series 2025A-1 Bonds at the interest rate set forth on the cover page hereof (the “ Series 2025A-1 Bond Rate”) from the Bond Dated Date (as specified in the Term Sheet) to, but not including, the date that is five (5) calendar d ays after the MBS Delivery Date Deadline, and (ii i) Eligible Funds from time to time to be delivered to the Trustee at the direction of the Borrower and deposited into the Series 2025A -1 Collateral Fund Account established under the Indenture. Prior to the date of delivery by Fannie Mae of the MBS (the “MBS Delivery Date”), the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Series 2025A-1 Bonds will be paid from amounts on deposit in the Series 2025A-1 Revenue Fund Account, the Series 2025A-1 Collateral Fund Account and the Series 2025A-1 Bond Proceeds Fund Account along with the investment earnings thereon.

* Preliminary; subject to change.
2 DRAFT--Contact the Office of the City Clerk at (408) 535-1260 or [email protected] for final document.
At all times, the Series 2025A-2 Bonds will be secured by Eligible Investments or other Eligible Funds in the Series 2025A-2 Revenue Fund Account, the Series 2025A-2 Bond Proceeds Fund Account and the Series 2025A- 2 Collateral Fund Account along with the investment earnings thereon sufficient, together with interest earnings thereon (without the need for reinvestment), to pay all of the interest and principal on the Series 2025A-2 Bonds when due at the earlier of any Redemption Date or any Mandatory Tender Date, as further described herein. See “SECURITY FOR AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE BONDS” herein.
The Borrower has obtained a construction loan in the amount of up to $ 99,872,099* (the “ Construction Loan”) from Bank of America, N.A., a national banking association (the “Construction Lender”). From time to time, the Borrower will cause Eligible Funds, including proceeds of the Construction Loan, to be delivered to the Trustee for deposit into the Collateral Fund in order to enable the Trustee to release Bond Proceeds to pay costs of the Project.
On the Conversion Date, the Construction Loan is expected to be repaid with the proceeds of the Permanent Loan and low-income housing tax credit equity (the “Tax Credit Equity”). The Borrower has also received a commitment, dated as of ________, 2025 (the “Permanent Lender Commitment”) from Lument Real Estate Capital, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Permanent Lender”), pursuant to which the Permanent Lender has agreed, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the Permanent Lender Commitment, to originate a mortgage loan (the “Permanent Loan”) to the Borrower secured by a mortgage constituting a first lien on the Project. See “THE PERMANENT LOAN” herein.
In the event the Permanent Loan is originated, the Trustee will use Eligible Funds on deposit under the Indenture, including in the Series 2025A-1 Bond Proceeds Fund Account and the Series 2025A-1 Collateral Fund Account, to purchase a single mortgage pass -through certificate (the “ MBS”) guaranteed as to principal and interest by Fannie Mae, if and when issued, and such MBS will then secure the payment of the principal of and interest on the Series 2025A-1 Bonds. See “APPENDIX A – FANNIE MAE MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES PROGRAM” herein. The closing of the Construction Loan and the Permanent Loan and delivery of the MBS are subject to the satisfaction of certain requirements and preconditions and does not extend to the benefit of any other third party, including the beneficial owners of the Series 2025A -1 Bonds, the Issuer or the Trustee. No representations or assurances can be provided as to whether or not such conditions can or will be satisfied. [Based on current underwriting assumptions, the Permanent Lender Commitment amount is $ _________*, which amount is less than the principal amount of the Series 2025A-1 Bonds. The Permanent Lender Commitment permits the actual Permanent Loan to be issued in an amount up to the principal amount of the Series 2025A-1 Bonds if certain conditions are satisfied upon Conversion. Taking into account market conditions in the market in which the Project will be located, the Borrower believes that on the Conversion Date, there is the possibility that the actual Permanent Loan to be issued may be in an amount up to the principal amount of Series 2025A-1 Bonds. There can be, however, no assurance that this will be the case. The actual Permanent Loan, if originated, shall be in an amount not to exceed the principal amount of the Series 2025A-1 Bonds. See “APPENDIX H – TERM SHEET” herein.] If the MBS is not delivered on or before the MBS Delivery Date Deadline (as defined herein), as such date may be extended pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, or is delivered in an amount less than the full principal amount of the Series 2025A-1 Bonds, then Eligible Funds in the Series 2025A-1 Collateral Fund Account and funds then on deposit in the Series 2025A-1 Bond Proceeds Fund Account will be used to redeem the Series 2025A-1 Bonds as set forth in the Indenture. The Series 2025A-1 Bonds are also subject to mandatory redemption in whole or in part as further described herein. See “DESCRIPTION OF THE BONDS —Redemption of Bonds.” On or after the Conversion Date, the Borrower, the Permanent Lender and Fannie Mae, collectively, have the ability to increase the amount of debt on the Project to exceed the outstanding principal amount of the Series 2025A- 1 Bonds. Although such additional debt is not guaranteed to be either supportable by the Project or approved by the Permanent Lender or Fannie Mae, any security instrument issued in connection therewith will not relate to or serve as additional security for the Series 2025A-1 Bonds.
The Series 2025A -2 Bonds are subject to mandatory tender for purchase, subject to satisfaction of the applicable terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture, on the Initial Mandatory Tender Date (as defined below).
All holders of the Series 2025A-2 Bonds must tender their Series 2025A-2 Bonds for purchase on the Initial Mandatory

Tender Date. A new interest rate for the Series 2025A-2 Bonds may be determined on the Initial Mandatory Tender Date in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. If the Series 2025A -2 Bonds are remarketed on the Initial Mandatory Tender Date, the terms of the Series 2025A -2 Bonds after such date may differ materially from the description provided in this Official Statement. Therefore, prospective purchasers of the Series 2025A-2 Bonds on and after the Initial Mandatory Tender Date cannot rely on this Official Statement, but rather must rely upon any disclosure documents prepared in connection with such remarketing. The Series 2025A-2 Bonds are also subject to redemption prior to maturity as set forth herein. See “DESCRIPTION OF THE BONDS —Redemption of Bonds.” The Series 2025A -1 Bonds shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof at the Series 2025A-1 Bond Rate. Prior to, and following the MBS Delivery Date, principal, if due, and interest on the Series 2025A-1 Bonds will be payable (i) semiannually on each ________ 1 and ________1, or the next succeeding Business Day if such 1st day is not a Business Day, commencing ________ 1, 20___*, (ii) on the stated maturity date for any of the Series 2025A-1 Bonds and (iii) any earlier date of redemption of any of the Series 2025A-1 Bonds.
Following delivery of the MBS, MBS payments will be made monthly, on the 25th of each month, or if not a Business Day, the following Business Day. Fannie Mae’s role with respect to the Series 2025A-1 Bonds is limited to issuing and discharging its obligations under the MBS if and when delivered. Fannie Mae has no responsibility for the structuring and timing of Bond payments from MBS Revenues.
The Series 2025A-2 Bonds shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof at the Initial Series 2025A-2 Bond Rate from their date of issuance to but not including, August 1, 20___* (the “Initial Mandatory Tender Date”), payable on each ________ 1 and ________ 1, beginning ________ 1, 20___* (each a “Series 2025A-2 Bond Payment Date”) and on each Mandatory Tender Date and each Mandatory Redemption Date.
Principal and interest on the Bonds are payable by the Trustee to DTC, which will be responsible for remitting such principal and interest to its Participants, which will be responsible for remitting such principal and interest to the Beneficial Owners of the Bonds.
The Bonds are limited obligations of the Issuer payable from all equally secured by the lien of the Indenture of the Trust Estate, consisting of funds pledged therefor under the Indenture and, with respect to the Series 2025A-1 Bonds, revenues from the MBS (the “ MBS Revenues”). See “SECURITY FOR AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE BONDS.”
THE BONDS ARE LIMITED OBLIGATIONS OF THE ISSUER, PAYABLE SOLELY FROM THE TRUST ESTATE UNDER THE INDENTURE. NONE OF THE ISSUER, ANY OF ITS MEMBERS, THE
STATE, NOR ANY POLITICAL SUBDIVISION THEREOF (EXCEPT THE ISSUER, TO THE LIMITED
EXTENT SET FORTH IN THE INDE NTURE) NOR ANY PUBLIC AGENCY SHALL IN ANY EVENT BE
LIABLE FOR THE PAYMENT OF THE PRINCIPAL OF, PREMIUM (IF ANY) OR INTEREST ON THE
BONDS OR FOR THE PERFORMANCE OF ANY PLEDGE, OBLIGATION OR AGREEMENT OF ANY
KIND WHATSOEVER EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN THE INDENTURE, AND NONE OF THE BONDS OR ANY OF THE ISSUER’S AGREEMENTS OR OBLIGATIONS SHALL BE CONSTRUED TO
CONSTITUTE AN INDEBTEDNESS OF OR A PLEDGE OF THE FAITH AND CREDIT OF OR A LOAN
OF THE CREDIT OF OR A MORAL OBLIGATION OF ANY OF THE FOREGOING WITHIN THE MEANING OF ANY CONSTITUTIONAL OR STATUTORY PROVISION WHATSOEVER.
Descriptions, certain definitions and final terms of the Bonds, the Borrower, the Project, the Permanent Loan and the MBS, are included in this Official Statement and, with respect to the Series 2025A-1 Bonds, the Permanent Loan and the MBS, in the Term Sheet.

The payment of interest on each Series 2025A-1 Bond Payment Date shall be in an amount equal to the interest accrued during the preceding six (6) calendar months; provided that the payment of interest on the Initial Payment Date shall relate to the interest accrued from the Bond Dated Date to and including the calendar day immediately preceding the Initial Payment Date.
Prior to the MBS Delivery Date, the Trustee will pay to the holders of the Series 2025A-1 Bonds all payments of interest funds held in the Revenue Fund under the Indenture. Following the MBS Delivery Date, the Trustee will pay to the holders of the Series 2025A-1 Bonds, from the applicable account of Revenue Fund, the amount s listed in the applicable maturity, sinking fund and interest payment schedule set forth in the Indenture.

The Trustee shall have no liability for such selecti ons made without gross negligence or willful misconduct.
If it is determined that less than all of the principal amount represented by any Bond is to be called for redemption, then, following notice of intention to redeem such principal amount, the holder thereof shall surrender such Bond to the Trustee on or before the applicable redemption date for (a) payment on the redemption date to such Bondholder of the Redemption Price of the amount called for redemption and (b) delivery to such Bondholder of a new Bond or Bonds of such Series in an aggregate principal am ount equal to the unredeemed balance of such Bond.

Notice of such cancellation or rescission shall be given in the same manner as the original notice was given .
Notwithstanding this section, no prior notice shall be a prerequisite to the effectiveness of any redemption under the heading “Redemption” which redemption shall occur and be effective irrespective of whether the Trustee fulfills its obligation to provide the notice with respect to the heading “Redemption,” above, required under this heading “Notice of Redemption.”

The cost of such opinion shall be the sole responsibility of the Borrower.
THE PERMANENT LOAN
General
The Permanent Lender Commitment sets forth certain Conditions to Conversion which must be satisfied by the Borrower prior to the origination of the Permanent Loan and the issuance of the MBS. Such conditions include, but are not limited to: the completion of improvements, confirmation that Minimum Occupancy Requirement (as defined in the Permanent Lender Commitment) has been met, the delivery of required transacti on documents and certain other items required in connection with the Permanent Lender Commitme nt; the renewal and approval by Fannie Mae of all agreements, documents, instruments reports, surveys, papers and matters which are subject to Fannie Mae’s review and approval in connection with the Permanent Lender Commitment; the payment of all fees requ ired in connection with the Permanent Lender Commitment; that there be no event of default under any of the required transaction documents; and certain other conditions set forth in the Permanent Lender Commitment. The conditions described in the prior sentence represent only a limited summary of the Conditions to Conversion, and the Permanent Lender Commitment should be referenced for a full description of such conditions. Upon satisfaction of the Conditions to Conversion set forth in the Permanent Lender Commitment on or prior to ________ 1, 20___ * (the “Initial Termination Date”), which date is subject to two six-month extensions and to further potential extension s at the sole discretion of Fannie Mae (as set forth in the Permanent Lender Commitment ), the Permanent Lender will originate the Permanent Loan.
If and when the Permanent Loan is originated, and the MBS is delivered, subject to (a) the conditions and requirements of the Permanent Lender Commitment and (b) the satisfaction of the conditions relating to the financing, construction and leasing of the Project, the Indenture authori zes the Trustee to use Eligible Funds to purchase the MBS, if and when the MBS is issued, and such MBS will then secure the payment of the interest on and principal of the Series 2025A-1 Bonds. If the MBS is not delivered, then the Eligible Funds held under the Indenture will be used to redeem the Series 2025A-1 Bonds as further herein.
On or after the Closing Date, the Borrower, the Permanent Lender and Fannie Mae, collectively, have the ability to increase the amount of debt on the Project to exceed the outstanding principal amount of the Bonds. Although such additional debt is not guaranteed to be either supportable by the Project or approved by the Permanent Lender or

Fannie Mae, any security instrument issued in connection therewith will not relate to or serve as additional security for the Bonds.
The Permanent Lender has undertaken to certify that the MBS has terms consistent with the Term Sheet and meets the requirements set forth in the Indenture, on which certification the Trustee may rely and act without further investigation. The Permanent Loan is to be evidenced by the Mortgage Note, executed by the Borrower in favor of [the Issuer][the Permanent Lender] and secured by the Multifamily Deed of Trust, Assignment of Leases and Rents, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing (the “Mortgage”). The Borrower is required under the Mortgage Note to make monthly payments sufficient in the aggregate to pay debt service on the Permanent Loan.
MBS Payments
Following the MBS Delivery Date, if such date occurs, payments on the MBS will be made on the 25th day of each month (beginning with the month following the month in which the MBS is issued and delivered to the Trustee), or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, on the first Business Day next succeeding su ch 25th day. With respect to the MBS, Fannie Mae will distribute to the Trustee an amount equal to the total of (i) the principal due on the Permanent Loan underlying the MBS during the period beginning on the second day of the month prior to the month of such distribution and ending on the first day of such month of distribution, (ii) the stated principal balance of the Permanent Loan that was prepaid in full during the calendar month next preceding the month of such distribution (including as prepaid for this purpose at Fannie Mae’s election the Permanent Loan after it is delinquent, in whole or in part, with respect to four consecutive installments of principal and interest; or because of Fannie Mae’s election to repurchase the Permanent Loan under certain other circumstances), (iii) the amount of any partial prepayment of the Permanent Loan received in the calendar month next preceding the month of distribution, and (iv) one month’s interest at the Pass-Through Rate on the principal balance of the MBS as reported to the Trustee (assuming the Trustee is the registered holder) in connection with the previous distribution (or, respecting the first distribution, the principal balance of the MBS on its issue date).
For purposes of distribution, the Permanent Loan will be considered to have been prepaid in full if, in Fannie Mae’s reasonable judgment, the full amount finally recoverable on account of the Permanent Loan has been received, whether or not such full amount is equal to the stated principal balance of the Permanent Loan . See also “APPENDIX A — FANNIE MAE MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES PROGRAM.”

All costs of issuing the Bonds, including the Underwriter’s fee, will be paid by the Borrower.
The Construction Loan. The Project will utilize a construction loan in the principal amount of $99,872,099* (the “Construction Loan”). The obligation to repay the Construction Loan will be set forth in a promissory note (the “Construction Loan Note”) from the Borrower to Bank of Am erica, N.A. (the “Construction Lender”) and will be repayable with the proceeds of the Permanent Loan and Tax Credit Equity. The Construction Loan Note will be secured by a mortgage against the Project.

interest at a rate of 5.45%* and will amortize over 40* years. The principal amount of the Bonds will be equal to the principal amount of the Permanent Loan. Following the MBS Delivery Date, payments on the Bonds will be payable by the Trustee from payments received by the Trustee pursuant to the MBS.
The Tax Credit Equity . Contemporaneously with the issuance of the Bonds, Bank of America expects to acquire a 99% ownership interest in the Borrower in exchange for equity contributions based primarily on the receipt of certain benefits from the Project’s Tax Credit Equity. In Connection with such acquisition, the funding of the Tax Credit Equity will total approximately $82,041,591* with an initial contribution of approximately $8,204,159* which will be funded on the Closing Date. The funding levels and the timing of the funding are subject to numerous adjustments and conditions which could result in the amounts funded and/or the ti ming or even occurrence of the funding varying significantly from the projections set forth above and neither the Issuer nor the Underwriter makes any representation as to the availability of such funds.
Deferred Developer Fee. The Project will also utilize a deferred developer fee in the amount of $4,849,153* as a source of funding. The deferred developer fee will be repaid through surplus cash flow received from the operation of the Project.
The GP Equity Contribution. The Project will also utilize a GP Equity Contribution in the principal amount of $850,847* (the “GP Equity Contribution”). The obligation to repay the GP Equity Contribution will be set forth in a promissory note (the “GP Equity Note”) from the Borrower to Affirmed Housing Group, Inc. (the “GP Equity Contribution Lender”) and will be repayable out of cash flow and other non -Project sources on the terms and conditions set forth therein.
The City of San José Loan. The Project will also utilize a soft loan in the principal amount of $19,551,066 * (the “City Loan”). The obligation to repay the City Loan will be set forth in a promissory note (the “City Promissory Note”) from the Borrower to the City of San José and will be repayable out of cash flow and other non-Project sources on the terms and conditions set forth therein. The City Promissory Note will be secured by a subordinate mortgage against the Project subordinate to the Mortgage Lo an. The City Promissory Note will have a term of 30 years and will bear interest at a rate of 4% per annum, with annual principal and interest not otherwise paid, due at maturity.
The County of Santa Clara Loan. The Project will also utilize a county loan in the principal amount of $2,000,000* (the “County Loan”). The obligation to repay the County Loan will be set forth in a promissory note (the “County Promissory Note”) from the Borrower to the County of Santa Clara (the “County Loan Lender”) and w ill be repayable out of cash flow and other non -Project sources on the terms and conditions set forth therein. The County Promissory Note will be secured by a subordinate mortgage agai nst the Project subordinate to the Mortgage Loan.
The County Promissory Note will have a term of 30 years and will bear interest at a rate of 4% per annum, with annual principal and interest not otherwise paid, due at maturity.
The Public Bond Interest. Bond investment earnings in the amount of $6,275,845* of construction financing for a term of 33 months at a fixed reinvestment rate of 4%.
The HAP Contract
The Borrower has an existing Housing Assistance Payment Contract (the “HAP Contract”) covering 30 of the 191 units at the Project that was entered into on the [HAP Contract Date] for a term of 20 (twenty) years with a twenty (20) year extension eligible within two (2) years of operations.
Funding under the HAP Contract is subject to annual Congressional appropriations, as more particularly described below. The Section 8 project -based housing assistance payment program (the “Section 8 Program”) is authorized by Section 8 of the United States Housing Act of 1937, as amended, and in the case of Section 8 contracts is administered by local public housing authorities. Renewals of Section 8 HAP contracts are governed by the Multifamily Assisted Housing Reform and Affordability Act of 1997, as am ended (“MAHRA”). The Section 8 Program authorizes housing assistance payments to owners of qualified housing for the benefit of low-income families (defined generally as families whose incomes do not exceed 80% of the area median income (“AMI”) for the ar ea as

determined by HUD), and very low-income families (defined generally as families whose income do not exceed 50% of the AMI as determined by HUD). Section 8 housing assistance payments generally represent the difference between the “contract rent” for the u nit approved by HUD and the eligible tenant’s contribution, which is generally 30% of income, as adjusted for family size and certain expenses, subject to a minimum rent contribution. The rents approved by HUD for the Project, as they may be adjusted from time to time with procedures set forth in MAHRA and the HAP Contract, are the “contract rents” for the Project. The HAP Contract will require the Borrower to maintain the Project in decent, safe and sanitary condition and to comply with other statutory a nd regulatory requirements governing the operation of the Project, use of project funds, and other matters. If the Borrower fails to comply with the terms of the HAP Contract, HUD or the contract administrator could seek to abate or terminate the payments under the HAP Contract, or take other sanctions. MAHRA requires that upon the request of the Borrower, HUD shall renew the HAP Contract under the Section 8 Program. However, because the HAP Contract is subject to receipt of annual appropriations by Cong ress, there is no assurance that the HAP Contract will be renewed or replaced upon its expiration. Funding for HAP contracts is appropriated by Congress on an annual basis, and there is no assurance that adequate funding will be appropriated each year during the term of the HAP Contract. Since payments received under the HAP Contract constitute a primary source of revenues for the Project, the expiration of the HAP Contract, or the failure of Congress to appropriate funds sufficient to fund the HAP Contract during each year of its term, would have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Project to generate revenues sufficient to pay the principal of, and interest on, the Loan.
Project Regulation
The Borrower intends to operate the Project as a qualified residential rental project in accordance with the provisions of Section 142(d) of the Code. Concurrently with the issuance of the Bonds, the Borrower, the Trustee and the Issuer will enter into th e Regulatory Agreement (as defined herein). Under the Regulatory Agreement, the Borrower will agree that, at all times during the qualified project period (as defined in the Regulatory Agreement), the Borrower will rent at least __% of the units in the Pr oject to persons whose adjusted family income (determined in accordance with the provisions of the Code) is no more than __% of the area median income (adjusted for family size) (“AMI”). See “APPENDIX E – SUMMARY OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE REGULATORY AGREEMENT” herein.
In addition to the rental restrictions imposed upon the Project by the Regulatory Agreement, the Project will be further encumbered by a tax credit restrictive covenant, to be executed by the Borrower in connection with the LIHTCs anticipated to be granted for the Project and in compliance with the requirements of Section 42 of the Code.
Section 42 of the Code will restrict the income levels of 100% of the residential units in the Project (the “Tax Credit Units”). Fifty (50) of the Tax Credit Units shall be held available for rental to persons whose adjusted family income is equal to or less than 30% of the AMI adjusted for family size and the rents which may be charged for occupancy of such units will be restricted to not more than 30% of 30% of AMI, adjusted for family size. Seventeen (17) of the Tax Credit Units shall be held available for rental to persons whose adjusted family income is equal to or less than 40% of the AMI adjusted for family size and the rents which may be charged for occupancy of such units will be restricted to not more than 30% of 40% of AMI, adjusted for family size. Sixty -three (63) of the Tax Credit Units shall be held available for rental to persons whose adjusted family income is equal to or less than 50% of the AMI adjusted f or family size and the rents which may be charged for occupancy of such units will be restricted to not more than 30% of 50% of AMI, adjusted for family size. Thirty-nine (39) of the Tax Credit Units shall be held available for rental to persons whose adjusted family income is equal to or less than 60% of the AMI adjusted for family size and the rents which may be charged for occupancy of such units will be restricted to not more than 30% of 60% of AMI, adjusted for family size. Twenty (20) of the Tax Credit Units shall be held available for rental to persons whose adjusted family income is equal to or less than 70% of the AMI adjusted for family size and the rents which may be charged for occupancy of such units will be restricted to not more than 30% of 70 % of AMI, adjusted for family size.

CERTAIN BONDHOLDERS’ RISKS
The purchase of the Bonds will involve a number of risks. The following is a summary, which does not purport to be comprehensive or definitive, of some of such risk factors.
Limited Security; Investment of Funds
The Bonds are special limited obligations of the Issuer payable solely from the Trust Estate, which includes certain funds pledged to and held by the Trustee pursuant to the Indenture.
The Bonds are offered solely on the basis of the amounts pledged to and held by the Trustee under the Indenture, together with investment earnings thereon, and, with respect to the Series 2025A-1 Bonds, the MBS, and are not offered on the basis of the credit of the Borrower, the feasibility of the Project or any other security. As a consequence, limited information about the Project and no information about the financial condition or results of operations of the Borrower is included in this Official Statem ent. The Bonds are offered only to investors who, in making their investment decision, rely solely on the amounts held under the Indenture, together with investment earnings thereon, and not on the credit of the Borrower, the feasibility of the Project or any other security.
The principal of and interest on the Bonds are payable from and secured by certain revenues and funds pledged thereto under the Indenture, together with investment earnings thereon and, with respect to the Series 2025A- 1 Bonds, following the MBS Delivery Date, from payments on the MBS. On the date of delivery of the Bonds, an amount equal to the principal amount of the Bonds is to be deposited into the Bond Proceeds Fund. The Trustee is required to invest amounts held in the Bond Proceeds Fund, the Collat eral Fund and the Revenue Fund in Eligible Investments, as defined in the Indenture. See “APPENDIX C — SUMMARY OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE INDENTURE — Investment of Funds.” Failure to receive a return of the amounts so invested could affect the ability to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds.
No Acceleration or Early Redemption Upon Loss of Tax Exemption on the Bonds The Borrower will covenant and agree, pursuant to a Regulatory Agreement and Declaration of Restrictive Covenants by and between the Issuer and the Borrower (the “Regulatory Agreement”), to comply with the provisions of the Code relating to the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of the interest payable on the Bonds. In particular, the Borrower is required to rent at least forty percent (40%) of the Project apartment units to certain qualified tenants whose income does not exceed sixty percent (60%) of the area average median income where the Project is located. The Borrower’s failure to comply with such provisions will not constitute a default under the Bonds and will not give rise to a redemption or acceleration of the Bonds and i s not the basis for an increase in the rate of interest payable on the Bonds. Furthermore, the Borrower’s failure to comply with the Regulatory Agreement will not give rise to a prepayment or acceleration of amounts due under the MBS or the Mortgage, unle ss directed by Fannie Mae in its sole discretion. Consequently, interest on the Bonds may become includable in gross income for purposes of federal income taxation retroactive to the date of issuance of the Bonds by reason of the Borrower’s failure to comply with the requirements of federal tax law.
Payments on Series 2025A-1 Bonds Prior to MBS Delivery Date Prior to the MBS Delivery Date, payment of principal and interest, and the Borrower’s obligations with respect to principal and interest on the Series 2025A-1 Bonds, will be primarily secured by and payable from Series 2025A-1 Bond proceeds held in the Series 2025A-1 Bond Proceeds Fund Account and moneys deposited into the Series 2025A -1 Collateral Fund Account , the Series 2025A -1 Revenue Fund Account and the Series 2025A -1 Negative Arbitrage Subaccount. Although the Borrower will execute the Series 2025A-1 Bond Loan Note to evidence its obligation to repay the loan evidenced thereby, it is not expected, prior to the MBS Delivery Date, that any revenues from the Project or other amounts, except moneys on deposit in the Series 2025A-1 Bond Proceeds Fund Account, the Series 2025A-1 Collateral Fund Account and the Series 2025A-1 Revenue Fund Account, will be available to satisfy that obligation. The Indenture requires the Trustee to verify, before any disbursement of funds from the Series 2025A-1 Bond Proceeds Fund Account, that the sum of the funds on deposit in the Series 2025A-1 Bond Proceeds Fund Account and the Series 2025A -1 Collateral Fund Account is at least equal to the then -outstanding principal
19 DRAFT--Contact the Office of the City Clerk at (408) 535-1260 or [email protected] for final document.
amount of the Series 2025A-1 Bonds. Prior to the MBS Delivery Date, moneys on deposit in the Series 2025A-1 Bond Proceeds Fund Account and the Series 2025A -1 Negative Arbitrage Subaccount, and the interest earnings thereon will be sufficient to pay the debt service on the s.
Failure to Satisfy Conditions to Conversion
The Borrower is required to satisfy, prior to the Termination Date, the Conditions to Conversion set forth in the Permanent Lender Commitment. If the Borrower fails to satisfy the Conditions to Conversion, the MBS will not be delivered, resulting in the mandatory redemption of the Bonds pursuant to the Indenture. See “DESCRIPTION OF THE BONDS - Redemption of Bonds” herein.
Mandatory Redemption of Bonds Prior to Maturity
Pursuant to the Indenture, under certain circumstances, the Bonds may be subject to mandatory redemption prior to maturity. Please see “DESCRIPTION OF THE BONDS – Mandatory Redemption of Bonds” herein.
Eligible Investments
Proceeds of the Bonds deposited into the Bond Proceeds Fund and Eligible Funds received by the Trustee for deposit into the Collateral Fund are required to be invested in Eligible Investments . See “APPENDIX B — DEFINITIONS OF CERTAIN TERMS” hereto for the definition of Eligible Investments. There can be no assurance that there will not be a loss resulting from any investment held for the credit of the Bond Proceeds Fund or the Collateral Fund, and any failure to receive a return of the amounts so invested could affect the ability to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds.
Rating Based on Eligible Investments and MBS
Prior to the MBS Delivery Date with respect to the Series 2025A-1 Bonds and at all times with respect to the Series 2025A-2 Bonds, the ratings on the Bonds is based on the investment in Eligible Investments of amounts on deposit in the Bond Proceeds Fund and the Collateral Fund. If one or more of such investments fail to meet the rating standards for Eligible Investments after their acquisition and prior to maturity, such a change may result in a downgrade or withdrawal of the rating s on the Bonds. Following the MBS Delivery Date, the rating on the Series 2025A-1 Bonds will be based on the credit rating of Fannie Mae. If any event occurs that causes an adverse change to the credit rating of Fannie Mae, such a change may result in a downgrade or withdrawal of the rating on the Series 2025A-1 Bonds.
Series 2025A-1 Bonds — Repayment of Permanent Loan
The ability of the Borrower to pay the Permanent Loan is dependent on the revenues derived from the Project.
Due to the inherent uncertainty of future events and conditions, no assurance can be given that revenues generated by the Project will be sufficient to pay expenses of the Project, including without limitation, debt service on the Permanent Loan, operating expenses, servicing fees, fees due to Fannie Mae, Trustee fees, and fees owed to the Issuer. The ability of the Project to generate sufficient revenues may be affected by a variety of factors including, but not limited to, completion of repairs to such Project, the maintenance of a sufficient level of occupancy, the ability to achieve increases in rents, limitations and requirements imposed by the Regulatory Agreement and other restrictive covenants, the level of operating expenses, project management, adverse changes in applicable laws and regulations, general economic conditions and other factors in the surrounding market area for the Project. Th e Borrower intends to rent all of the units in the Project to persons or families of moderate and low income and the amount of rent that may be charged for such units may be materially less than market rates. In addition to these factors, other adverse events may occur from time to time which may have a negative impact on the occupancy level and rental income of the Project.
Failure of the Borrower to make payments when due under the Permanent Loan will result in an event of default under the Permanent Loan and the Financing Agreement and may result in a mandatory prepayment of all or a portion of the Series 2025A-1 Bonds. The Permanent Loan will not be accelerated unless directed by Fannie Mae in its sole discretion in which case the Series 2025A-1 Bonds will remain outstanding and will remain secured by the
20 DRAFT--Contact the Office of the City Clerk at (408) 535-1260 or [email protected] for final document.
MBS guaranteed as to timely payment of principal and interest by Fannie Mae. See “SECURITY FOR AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE BONDS” herein. If Fannie Mae accelerates the Permanent Loan as a result of any event of default under the Permanent Loan, the Permanent Loan will be paid in full, and the stated principal balance of the MBS will be passed through to the holder of the MBS. In this case, no yield mainte nance or other prepayment premiums will be payable to the Trustee as holder of the MBS.
The Permanent Loan is a non-recourse obligation of the Borrower with respect to which neither the Borrower nor its partners have personal liability and as to which the Borrower and its partners have not pledged for the benefit of the Permanent Lender any of their respective assets, other than the Project and its rents, profits and proceeds.
Payments on the Series 2025A-1 Bonds Made From Payments Received on MBS As described elsewhere herein, following the MBS Delivery Date, principal and interest on the Series 2025A- 1 Bonds will be paid to registered owners thereof from principal and interest payments received by the Trustee pursuant to the MBS. Although interest accrues on the MBS during a calendar month, the Trustee will not receive such payment on the MBS until the 25th day in the following calendar month, or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day. The Trustee shall aggregate the monthly payments on the MBS and will pay principal and interest on the Bonds on the Interest Payment Dates described herein.
MBS Certificate
If the MBS is issued by Fannie Mae and acquired by the Trustee as collateral for the Series 2025A-1 Bonds, Fannie Mae’s obligations will be solely as provided in the MBS and in the Fannie Mae MBS Prospectus and the related form of Prospectus Supplement for MBS Certificate. The obligations of Fannie Mae under the MBS will be obligations solely of Fannie Mae, a federally chartered corporation, and will not be backed by the full faith and credit of the United States of America. The Series 2025A-1 Bonds are n ot and will not be a debt of the United States of America or any other agency or instrumentality of the United States of America or of Fannie Mae. The Series 2025A- 1 Bonds are not and will not be guaranteed by the full faith and credit of Fannie Mae or the United States of America.
It is possible, in the event of the insolvency of Fannie Mae, or the occurrence of some other event precluding Fannie Mae from honoring its obligations to make payments as stated in the MBS, if issued, that the financial resources of the Borrower will be the only source of payment on the Series 2025A-1 Bonds. There can be no assurance that the financial resources of the Borrower will be sufficient to pay the principal of, premium if any, and interest on the Series 2025A-1 Bonds in such event. See “SECURITY FOR AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE BONDS” herein.
Performance of the Project and Estimated Rental Revenue Vacancies The economic feasibility of the Project depends in large part upon the Project’s being substantially occupied as rentals adequate to maintain substantial occupancy throughout the term of the Bonds at sufficient rents and to cover all operating expenses of the Project and debt service on the Permanent Loan. Although representatives of the Borrower believe, based on s urveys of the area where the Project is located, that a substantial number of persons currently need housing facilities such as the Project, oc cupancy of the Project may be affected by competition from existing housing facilities or from housing facilities which may be constructed in the area served by the Project. While the Borrower believes the Project is needed, there may be difficulties in k eeping it substantially occupied.
Furthermore, no assurance can be given that the low -income tenants are able to afford the rental rates of the Project, notwithstanding the below -market rental rates. Restrictions imposed under the Code and related regula tions, the Regulatory Agreement and other restrictive covenants, relating to tenant income and the rent that can be charged could have an adverse effect on the Borrower’s ability to satisfy its obligations under the Financing Agreement, especially if operating expenses should increase beyond what was anticipated.
Limited Liability of Issuer
Notwithstanding anything in the Indenture or in the Bonds, the Issuer shall not be required to advance any money derived from any source other than , with respect to the Series 2025A-1 Bonds, the MBS Revenues, and with respect to all Bonds, other assets pledged under the Indenture for any of the purposes of the Indenture.
21 DRAFT--Contact the Office of the City Clerk at (408) 535-1260 or [email protected] for final document.
No agreements or provisions contained in the Indenture, nor any agreement, covenant or undertaking by the Issuer contained in any document executed by the Issuer in connection with the Project, or the issuance, sale and delivery of the Bonds shall give ris e to any pecuniary liability of the Issuer or a charge against its general credit, or shall obligate the Issuer financially in any way except from, with respect to the Series 2025A-1 Bonds, the application of MBS Revenues, and with respect to all Bonds, proceeds pledged to the payment of the Bonds and the proceeds of the Bonds. No failure of the Issuer to comply with any term, condition, covenant or agreement in the Indenture or in any document executed by the Issuer in connection with the Project, or the issuance, sale and delivery of th e Bonds shall subject the Issuer to liability for any claim for damages, costs or other financial and pecuniary charge except to the extent that the same can be paid or recovered from the Financing Agreement or, with respect to the Series 2025A- 1 Bonds, the MBS Revenues and with respect to all Bonds, other assets pledged to the payment of the Bonds or the proceeds of the Bonds.
Secondary Markets and Prices
No representation is made concerning the existence of any secondary market for the Bonds. The Underwriter will not be obligated to repurchase any of the Bonds, nor can any assurance be given that any secondary market will develop following the completion of the offering of the Bonds. Further, there can be no assurance that the initial offering prices for the Bonds will continue for any period of time. Furthermore, the Bonds should be purchased for their projected returns only and not for any resale potential, which may or may not exist.
Future Legislation; IRS Examination
The Project, its operation and the treatment of interest on the Bonds are subject to various laws, rules and regulations adopted by the local, State and federal governments and their agencies. There can be no assurance that relevant local, State or federal laws, rules and regulations will not be amended or modified or interpreted in the future in a manner that could adversely affect the Bonds, the Trust Estate created under the Indenture, the Project, or the financial condition of or ability of the Borrowe r to comply with its obligations under the various transaction documents.
In recent years, the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) has increased the frequency and scope of its examination and other enforcement activity regarding tax exempt bonds. Currently, the primary penalty available to the IRS under the Code is a determination that interest on bonds is subject to federal income taxation. Such event could occur for a variety of reasons, including, without limitation, failure to comply with certain requirements imposed by the Code relating to investment restrictions, periodic payments of arbitrage profits to the United States of America, the timely and proper use of Bond proceeds and the facilities financed therewith and certain other matters. See “TAX MATTERS” herein. No assurance can be given that the IRS will not examine the Issuer, the Borrower, the Project or the Bonds. If the Bonds are examined, it may have an adverse impact on their price and marketability.
Potential Impact of Pandemics or Public Health Crises
The spread of the strain of a virus and resulting disease could alter the behavior of businesses and people in a manner that could have negative effects on global, state and local economies. There can be no assurances that the spread of a pandemic would n ot materially impact both local and national economies and, accordingly, have a materially adverse impact on the Project’s operating and financial viability. The effects of a pandemic could include, among other things, an increase in the time necessary to complete the construction and/or rehabilitation of the Project, suspension or delay of site inspections and other on -site meetings, interruption in the engagement of material participants in the Project, increase in the time necessary to conduct lease -up at the Project, and increased delinquencies and/or vacancies, all of which could impact the Borrower’s ability to make payments on the loans and result in a default and acceleration thereof.
Limitation of Remedies
Remedies available under the Indenture, the Financing Agreement, and the Regulatory Agreement are limited in certain respects. See “ENFORCEABILITY OF REMEDIES” herein.

Summary
The foregoing is intended only as a summary of certain risk factors attendant to an investment in the Bonds.
In order for potential investors to identify risk factors and make an informed investment decision, potential investors should be thoroughly familiar with this entire Official Statement and the Appendices hereto.
FINANCIAL ADVISOR
PFM Financial Advisors LLC (the “Financial Advisor”) has served as financial advisor to the Issuer for purposes of assisting the Issuer with the development and implementation of the bond program in connection with the Bonds. The Financial Advisor has not been engaged by the Issue r to compile, create or interpret any information in this Official Statement relating to the Issuer, including (without limitation) any of the Issuer’s financial and operating data, whether historical or projected. Any information contained in this Official Statement concerning the Issuer, any of its affiliates or contractors and any outside parties has not been independently verified by the Financial Advisor, and inclusion of such information is not and should not be construed as a representation by the Financial Advisor as to its accuracy or completeness or otherwise. The Financial Advisor is not a public accounting firm and has not been engaged by the Issuer to review or audit any information in this Official Statement in accor dance with accounting standards.
The Financial Advisor does not assume any responsibility for the covenants and representations contained in any of the legal documents with respect to the federal income tax status of the Bonds, or the possible impact of any present, pending or future actions taken by any legislative or judicial bodies.
TAX MATTERS
Legal matters incident to the authorization, validity and issuance of the Bonds are subject to the approving opinion of Anzel Galvan LLP, San Francisco, California , Bond Counsel, whose opinion will be available at the time of delivery of the Bonds. It is anticipated that the approving opinion will be in substantially the form attached to this Official Statement as Appendix I.
General
In the opinion of Bond Counsel, under existing law and subject to certain qualifications described below, interest on the Bonds is excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes under Section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Tax Code”), except during any period while a Bond is held by a “substantial user” of the facilities financed by the Bonds or by a “related person” within the meaning of Section 147(a) of the Tax Code. Interest on the Bonds is not an item of tax preference for purposes of the federal alternative minimum tax imposed on individuals; however, such interest is taken into account in determining the annual adjusted financial statement income for the purpose of computing the alternative minimum tax imposed on certain corporations. Bond Counsel is also of the opinion that interest on the Bonds is exempt from personal income taxation imposed by the State of California. Bond Counsel will deliver an opinion in substantially the form attached to this Official Statement as Appendix I.
The Tax Code contains a number of requirements that apply to the Bonds, and the Issuer and the Borrower have made certain representations and have covenanted to comply with each such requirement. Bond Counsel’s opinion assumes the accuracy of the represen tations made by the Issuer and the Borrower and is subject to the condition that the Issuer and the Borrower comply with the above-referenced covenants. If the Issuer or the Borrower fails to comply with such covenants or if the Issuer’s or the Borrower’s representations are inaccurate or incomplete, interest on the Bonds could be included in gross income for federal income tax purposes retroactively to the date of issuance of the Bonds.
Except as expressly stated herein, Bond Counsel expresses no opinion regarding any tax consequences related to the ownership, sale or disposition of the Bonds (including purchase or sale at a premium or discount), or the amount, accrual or receipt of interest on, the Bonds. Owners of the Bonds (“Owners”) should consult their tax advisors regarding the applicability of any collateral tax consequences of owning the Bonds.
23 DRAFT--Contact the Office of the City Clerk at (408) 535-1260 or [email protected] for final document.
Post Issuance Matters
The opinion of Bond Counsel is based on current legal authority, covers certain matters not directly addressed by such authorities, and represents Bond Counsel’s judgment as to the proper treatment of the Bonds for federal income tax purposes. It is not b inding on the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) or the courts. Furthermore, Bond Counsel cannot give and has not given any opinion or assurance about the future activities of the Issuer or the Borrower, or about the effect of future changes in the Tax Code, the applicable regulations, the interpretation thereof or the enforcement thereof by the IRS.
Bond Counsel’s engagement with respect to the Bonds ended with the issuance of the Bonds, and, unless separately engaged, Bond Counsel is not obligated to defend the Issuer or the Owners regarding the tax-exempt status of the Bonds in the event of an audit examination by the IRS. Under current procedures, partie s other than the Issuer, the Borrower and their appointed counsel, including the Owners, would have little, if any, right to participate in the audit examination process. Moreover, because achieving judicial review in connection with an audit examination of tax-exempt bonds is difficult, obtaining an independent review of IRS positions with which the Issuer or the Borrower legitimately disagrees may not be practicable. Any action of the IRS, including but not limited to selection of the Bonds for audit, or the course or result of such audit, or an audit of bonds presenting similar tax issues may affect the market price for, or the marketability of, the Bonds and may cause the Issuer or the Owners to in cur significant expense.
Current and future legislative proposals, if enacted into law, clarification of the Tax Code or court decisions may cause interest on the Bonds to be subject, directly or indirectly, to federal income taxation, or otherwise prevent beneficial owners from r ealizing the full current benefit of the tax status of such interest. The introduction or enactment of any such legislative proposals, clarification of the Tax Code or court decisions may also affect the market price for, or marketability of, the Bonds. Prospective purchasers of the Bonds should consult their own tax advisors regarding any pending or proposed legislation, regulations or litigation, as to which Bond Counsel expresses no opinion.
Not Bank Qualified
The Bonds have not been designated as “qualified tax -exempt obligations” within the meaning of Section 265(b)(3)(B) of the Code.
NO LITIGATION
The Issuer
There is no proceeding or litigation of any nature now pending or threatened against the Issuer restraining or enjoining the issuance, sale, execution or delivery of the Bonds, or in any way contesting or affecting the validity of the Bonds or the Financing Documents to which the Issuer is a party, any proceedings of the Issuer taken with respect to the issuance or sale thereof, the pledge or application of any money or security provided for the payment of the Bonds, the existence or powers of the Issuer relating to the Bonds or the title of any of ficers of the Issuer to their respective positions.
The Borrower
There is no legal action, suit, proceeding, investigation or inquiry at law or in equity, before or by any court, agency, arbitrator, public board or body or other entity or person, pending or, to the best knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against or affecting the Borrower in its capacity as such, nor, to the knowledge of the Borrower, any basis therefor, (i) which would restrain or enjoin the issuance or delivery of the Bonds, the use of this Official Statement in the marketing of the Bonds or the coll ection of revenues pledged under or pursuant to the Indenture or (ii) which would in any way contest or affect the organization or existence of the Borrower or the entitlement of any officer of the Borrower to its position or (iii) which would contest or h ave a material and adverse effect upon (A) the due performance by the Borrower of the transactions contemplated by this Official Statement , (B) the validity or enforceability of the Bonds or any other agreement or instrument to which the Borrower is a part y and that is used or

contemplated for use in the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, (C) the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of the interest on the Bonds or (D) the financial condition or operations of the Borrower, (iv) which contests in any way the completeness or accuracy of this Official Statement or (v) which questions the power or authority of the Borrower to carry out the transactions on its part contemplated by this Official Statement, or the power of the Borrowe r to own or operate the Project. The Borrower is not subject to any judgment, decree or order entered in any lawsuit or proceeding brought against it that would have such an effect.
CERTAIN LEGAL MATTERS
The validity of the Bonds and certain other legal matters are subject to an approving opinion of Anzel Galvan LLP, San Francisco, California, Bond Counsel to the Issuer. A complete copy of the proposed form of Bond Counsel opinion is contained in Appendix I hereto. Certain legal matters will be passed upon for the Borrower by its counsel, Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP, Los Angeles, California, and for the Underwriter by its counsel, Tiber Hudson LLC, Washington, D.C. Payment of the fees of certain counsel t o the transaction is contingent upon the issuance and delivery of the Bonds as described herein.
UNDERWRITING
Lument Securities, LLC (the “Underwriter”), a “participating underwriter” as defined in 15c2 -12 and an “underwriter” as defined in Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, has entered into the Bond Purchase Agreement to purchase all of the Bonds, if any of the Bonds are to be purchased, at a price set forth on the cover page hereof . The Bond Purchase Agreement provides that , as compensation for its services, the Underwriter will receive from the Borrower $______, from which the Underwriter will pay certain fees and expenses related to the issuance of the Bonds (not including the fees and expenses of its counsel)[, plus an additional amount of $______ (the “Underwriter’s Advance”) for initial deposit established under the Indenture] . The obligation of the Underwriter to pay for the Bonds is subject to certain terms and conditions set forth in the Bond Purchase Agreement. The Borrower has agreed to indemnify t he Underwriter and the Issuer as to certain matters in connection with the Bonds. [The Borrower will reimburse the Underwriter for the Underwriter’s Advance on or before the Closing Date.] The Underwriter may offer and sell the Bonds that it purchases to certain dealers including dealer banks and dealers depositing the Bonds into investment trusts and others at a price lower than the public offering price stated in the Term Sheet. The offering price of the Bonds may be changed from time to time by the Underwriter.
The Underwriter does not guarantee a secondary market for the Bonds and is not obligated to make any such market in the Bonds. No assurance can be made that such a market will develop or continue. Consequently, investors may not be able to resell Bonds should they need or wish to do so for emergency or other purposes.
The Underwriter and its affiliates are full -service financial institutions engaged in various activities, which may include securities trading, commercial and investment banking, financial advisory, investment management, principal investment, hedging, financing and brokerage activities. The Underwriter and its affiliates may have, from time to time, performed, and may in the future perform, various investment banking ser vices either for the Issuer and/or the Borrower and affiliates thereof, for which they received or will receive customary fees and expenses. The Underwriter is not acting as financial advisor to the Issuer or the Borrower in connection with the offer and sale of the Bonds.
In the ordinary course of their various business activities, the Underwriter and its affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (which may include bank loans and/or credit default swaps) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers and may at any time hold long and short positions in such securities and instruments. Such investment and securities activities may involve securities and instruments of the Issuer and/or the Borrower and affiliates thereof.
In addition to serving as the Underwriter, Lument Securities, LLC or one of its affiliates will serve as (i) Remarketing Agent for the Series 2025A-2 Bonds and (ii) will provide permanent financing to the Project and will be compensated for serving in such capacities.

RATINGS
Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. , a Delaware corporation (the “Rating Agency”) has assigned to the Bonds the ratings set forth on the cover page hereof. An explanation of the significance of such rating s may be obtained from the Rating Agency. The ratings of the Bonds reflect only the views of the Rating Agency at the time such ratings were given, and neither the Issuer nor the Borrower nor the Underwriter makes any representation as to the appropriateness of the rating s. The ratings are not a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold the Bonds . There is no assurance that such rating s will continue for any given period of time or that they will not be revised downward or withdrawn entirely by the Rating Agency, if in its judgment, circumstances so warrant. Any such downward revision or withdrawal of the ratings may have an adverse effect on the market price of the Bonds.
CONTINUING DISCLOSURE
The Borrower, as the only “obligated person” with respect to the Bonds, will enter into a Continuing Disclosure Agreement, dated as of ________ 1, 2025 (the “Continuing Disclosure Agreement”), with Computershare Trust Company, National Association , a national banking association , acting as Dissemination Agent, pursuant to which the Borrower will agree to provide ongoing disclosure pursuant to the applicable requirements of Rule 15c2 - 12 of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Rule”). Financial statements will be provided at least annually to the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (the “ MSRB”) and notices of certain events will be issued pursuant to the Rule. Information will be filed with the MSRB through its Electronic Municipal Market Access (“EMMA”) system, unless otherwise directed by the MSRB. A form of the Continuing Disclosure Agreement is attached hereto as Appendix G.
A failure by the Borrower to comply with the provisions of the Continuing Disclosure Agreement will not constitute a default under the Financing Agreement (although Bondholders will have any available remedy at law or in equity for obtaining necessary disclosures). Nevertheless, such a failure to comply is required to be reported in accordance with the Rule and must be considered by any broker, dealer or municipal securit ies dealer before recommending the purchase or sale of the Bonds in the secondary market. Consequently, such a failure may adversely affect the transferability and liquidity of the Bonds.
The Borrower has not previously been subject to the continuing disclosure requirements of the Rule.
THE TRUSTEE
The information under this heading has been provided solely by the Trustee and is believed to be reliable, but has not been verified independently by the Issuer or the Underwriter. No representation whatsoever as to the accuracy, adequacy or completeness of such information is made by the Borrower, the Issuer or the Underwriter.
The Issuer has appointed Computershare Trust Company, National Association as Trustee under the Indenture. The Trustee is a national banking association , having all of the powers of a bank, including fiduciary powers, and is a member of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Federal Reserve System .
The Trustee is to carry out such duties as are assigned to it under the Indenture, the Financing Agreement, and the other Financing Documents. Except for the contents of this section, the Trustee has not reviewed or participated in the preparation of this Official Statement and assumes no responsibility for the nature, contents, accuracy or completeness of the information set forth in this Official Statement or for the recitals contained in the Indenture or the Bonds (except for the certificate of authenti cation on each Bond), or for the validity, sufficiency, or legal effect of any of such documents.
Furthermore, the Trustee has no oversight responsibility, and is not accountable, for the use or application of any of the Bonds authenticated or delivered pursuant to the Indenture or for the use or application of the proceeds of such Bonds.

Bonds or the investment quality of the Bonds, about all of which the Trustee expresses no opinion and expressly disclaims the expertise to evaluate.
ENFORCEABILITY OF REMEDIES
The remedies available to the Trustee, the Issuer and the Bondholders upon an Event of Default under the Indenture, the Financing Agreement or the Regulatory Agreement are in many respects dependent upon regulatory and judicial actions which are often subject to discretion and delay. Under existing law and judicial decisions, including specifically the Federal Bankruptcy Code, the r emedies provide for under the Indenture, the Financing Agreement or the Regulatory Agreement may not be readily available or may be limited.
In addition, the Financing Agreement provides that the payment obligations of the Borrower contained therein (other than certain obligations to the Issuer and the Trustee) will be limited obligations payable solely from the income and assets of the Borrowe r, and that no member of the Borrower will have any personal liability for the satisfaction of any payment obligation of the Borrower under such agreements or of any claim against the Borrower arising out of such agreements or the Indenture.
The various legal opinions to be delivered concurrently with the delivery of the Bonds will be qualified as to the enforceability of various legal instruments by limitations imposed by the valid exercise of the constitutional powers of the State and the Un ited States of America and bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally, and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

General ......................................... Fannie Mae is a government -sponsored enterprise that was chartered by the U.S. Congress in 1938 under the name “Federal National Mortgage Association” to support liquidity and stability in the secondary mortgage market, where existing mortgage loans are pu rchased and sold. The address of its principal office is 1100 15th Street, NW, Washington, DC 20005; the telephone number is 800-2FANNIE (800-232-6643).
Fannie Mae has been under conservatorship since September 6, 2008. The conservator, the Federal Housing Finance Agency (“FHFA”), succeeded to all rights, titles, powers and privileges of Fannie Mae and of any shareholder, officer or director of the company with respect to the company and its assets.
For additional information on the conservatorship, see “FANNIE MAE — Regulation and Conservatorship” in the Fannie Mae MBS Prospectus.
Fannie Mae’s regulators include FHFA, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”), the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and the U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”). The Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight, the predecessor of FHFA, was Fannie Mae’s safety and soundness regulator prior to enactment of the Federal Housing Finance Regulatory Reform Act of 2008.

On September 7, 2008, Fannie Mae entered into a senior preferred stock purchase agreement with the Treasury pursuant to which Fannie Mae issued to it one million shares of senior preferred stock and a warrant to purchase, for a nominal price, shares of common stock equal to 79.9% of the outstanding common stock of Fannie Mae. Nevertheless, Fannie Mae alone is responsible for making payments under its guaranty. The MBS if issued by Fannie Mae and acquired by the Trustee and payments of principal and interest on the MBS will not be guaranteed by the United States and do not constitute a debt or obligation of the United States or any of its agencies or instrumentalities other than Fannie Mae.
Sponsor and Depositor ................. Fannie Mae is the sponsor of this offering of certificates and the depositor of the mortgage loans into the trust.
Description of MBS ...................... The MBS if issued by Fannie Mae and acquired by the Trustee will represent a pro rata undivided beneficial ownership interest in (i) the Permanent Loan or (ii) the pool of mortgage loan participation interests that comprise the trust.
See “THE PERMANENT LOAN” in the Official Statement. Fannie Mae will issue the MBS in book -entry form on the book -entry system of the U.S.
Federal Reserve Bank s. The book -entry MBS will not be convertible into physical certificates.
Minimum Denomination .............. Fannie Mae will issue the MBS in minimum denominations of $1,000, with additional increments of $1.
Issue Date ..................................... The date specified on the front cover page, which is the first day of the month in which the MBS is issued.
Settlement Date ............................ The date specified on the front cover page, which is a date no later than the last business day of the month in which the issue date occurs.
Distribution Date .......................... The “Distribution Date” is the 25th day of each month which is the date designated for payments to the Trustee as holder of the MBS, if issued. If that day is not a Business Day, payments will be made on the next Business Day.
The first Distribution Date for the MBS will occur in the month following the month in which the MBS is issued. For example, if the issue date is January 1st, the first distribution date is February 25th or, if February 25th is not a Business Day, the first Business Day following February 25th.
Maturity Date ............................... The date specified on the front cover page, which is the date that the final payment is due on the last mortgage loan remaining in the pool.
Use of Proceeds ............................ The MBS is backed by a pool of one or more mortgage loans that Fannie Mae recently acquired or already owned. Fannie Mae is issuing the MBS either in exchange for the recently acquired mortgage loans or for cash proceeds that are generally used for purchasing other mortgage loans or for general corporate purposes.
Interest .......................................... On each Distribution Date, Fannie Mae will pass through on the MBS, if issued, one month’s interest at the “Pass-Through Rate”.

Because Fannie Mae’s guaranty requires it to supplement amounts received by the trust as required to permit timely payment of interest, the amount of interest distributed to certificateholders on a Distribution Date will not be affected by any loss mitigat ion measure, taken with respect to, or other loan modification made to, the Permanent Loan while it remains in the trust.
As described under the caption “MATERIAL FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES” which can be found at
https://capitalmarkets.fanniemae.com/media/25556/display, the MBS and payments on the MBS, including interest payments thereon, are subject to federal income taxation. Such interest payments only become excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes and excluded from taxation by the State, to the ext ent described elsewhere herein, when applied by the Trustee to pay interest due on the Series 2025A -1 Bonds. See “TAX MATTERS” in the Official Statement herein.
Principal ....................................... Fannie Mae will receive collections on the Permanent Loan on a monthly basis. The period Fannie Mae uses to differentiate between collections in one month and collections in another month is called the due period. The due period is the period from and including the second calendar day of the preceding month in w hich the Distribution Date occurs to and including the first calendar day of the month in which the Distribution Date occurs.
On each Distribution Date, Fannie Mae will pass through principal of the MBS, if issued, as follows:
• the aggregate amount of the scheduled principal due on the Permanent Loan in the pool during the related due period; and • the aggregate amount of the unscheduled principal payments specified below:
o the stated principal balance of the Permanent Loan as to which prepayments in full was received during the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which that
Distribution Date occurs;
o the stated principal balance of the Permanent Loan if it was purchased from the pool during the calendar month
immediately preceding the month in which that
Distribution Date occurs; and
o the amount of any partial prepayments on the Permanent Loan that were received during the calendar month
immediately preceding the month in which that
Distribution Date occurs.
Because Fannie Mae’s guaranty requires it to supplement amounts received by the trust as required to permit timely payment of the principal amounts specified above, the amount of principal distributed to certificateholders on a Distribution Date will not be affected by any loss mitigation measure, taken with respect to, or other loan modification made to, the Permanent Loan while it remains in the trust.

DRAFT--Contact the Office of the City Clerk at (408) 535-1260 or [email protected] for final document.
Fannie Mae may treat a prepayment in full received on the first Business Day of a month as if the prepayment were received on the last Business Day of the preceding month. If Fannie Mae does so, it passes through these prepayments on the Distribution Date in the same month in which the prepayment actually was received. For example, if a prepayment on the Permanent Loan in full is actually received on the first Business Day of January, it would be treated as if it had been received on the last Business Day o f December and, therefore, would be passed through on January 25 (or the next Business Day, if January 25 is not a Business Day).
The Permanent Loan permits the reamortization of principal after a permitted voluntary prepayment or an involuntary partial prepayment caused by the receipt of proceeds from insurance or condemnation. A reamortization of the Permanent Loan will cause a change in the amount of principal that is passed through to holders of the MBS.
Monthly Pool Factors ................... On or about the fourth Business Day of each month, Fannie Mae publishes the monthly pool factor for each issuance of its certificates. If an investor multiplies the monthly pool factor by the original principal balance of the MBS, the investor will obtain the current principal balance of the MBS, after giving effect to the monthly principal payment to be passed through on the Distribution Date in that month. The most current pool factor is generally available through DUS Disclose on Fannie Mae’s website at https://mfdusdisclose.fanniemae.com/#/home.
Guaranty ....................................... Fannie Mae guarantees to each trust that on each Distribution Date it will supplement amounts received by the trust as required to permit payments on the MBS in an amount equal to:
• the aggregate amounts of scheduled and unscheduled principal payments described in “—Principal” above, and
• an amount equal to one month’s interest on the MBS, as described in “—Interest” above.
In addition, Fannie Mae guarantees to the related trust that it will supplement amounts received by the trust as required to make the full and final payment of the unpaid principal balance of the related certificates on the Distribution Date in the month of the maturity date specified in the prospectus supplement.
Certificateholders have certain limited rights to bring proceedings against the Treasury if Fannie Mae fails to pay under its guaranty. The total amount that may be recovered from the Treasury is subject to limits imposed in the senior preferred stock purch ase agreement. For a description of certificateholders’ rights to proceed against Fannie Mae and the Treasury, see “FANNIE MAE—Certificateholders’ Rights Under the Senior Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement” in the Fannie Mae MBS Prospectus.

Prepayments ................................. A borrower may voluntarily prepay the loan in full. Except during the open period, each mortgage loan in the pool requires payment of a prepayment premium if the loan is prepaid voluntarily, as disclosed on Annex A. A portion of the prepayment premium, if collected, may be shared with certificateholders under the circumstances described in “ YIELD, MATURITY AND PREPAYMENT CONSIDERATIONS —Maturity
and Prepayment Considerations —Prepayment of a Mortgage Loan ” in the Fannie Mae MBS Prospectus. Fannie Mae does not guarantee to any trust the payment of any prepayment premiums.

The Multifamily Mortgage Loan
Pool...............................................
Each mortgage loan in the pool is a fixed -rate loan included in one of the following categories:
• Fixed-rate loans with monthly payments of interest only during their entire loan terms, with a balloon payment of all outstanding principal at maturity;
• Fixed-rate loans with monthly payments of interest only during specified initial periods, followed by monthly payments of principal and interest for their remaining loan terms, with a balloon payment of all outstanding principal at maturity;
• Fixed-rate loans with monthly payments of interest only during specified initial periods, followed by monthly payments of principal and interest that fully amortize over their remaining loan terms; • Fixed-rate loans with monthly payments of interest and principal during their entire loan terms, with a balloon payment of all outstanding principal at maturity; and
• Fixed-rate loans with monthly payments of interest and principal that fully amortize over their loan terms.
Multifamily Mortgage Loans........ Each mortgage loan in the pool was acquired from a multifamily mortgage loan seller that Fannie Mae has approved. A mortgage loan may have been originated by the seller or may have been acquired by the seller from the originator of the loan, which may or may not be an approved mortgage loan seller. Each mortgage loan that Fannie Mae acquires either meets its published standards or is reviewed by Fannie Mae before delivery to determine its suitability. Fannie Mae may modify its standards or permit waivers on specific transactions from time to time.
Types of Property ......................... Each mortgage loan in the pool is secured by a lien on one or more of the following types of property:
• Multifamily residential properties;
• Cooperative housing projects;
• Dedicated student housing;
• Manufactured housing communities;
• Military housing; or
• Seniors housing
Annex A discloses the type of property securing each mortgage loan in the pool and the priority of each lien. Any type of property may also be considered affordable housing; Annex A discloses certain affordable housing characteristics.
Termination .................................. The trust will terminate when the certificate balance of the certificates has been reduced to zero, and all required distributions have been passed through to certificateholders. Fannie Mae has no unilateral option to cause an early termination of the trust other than by purchasing a mortgage loan from the pool for a reason permitted by the trust documents.

Federal Income Tax
Consequences ...............................
The mortgage pool will be classified as a fixed investment trust. Unless otherwise disclosed in the Additional Disclosure Addendum, Fannie Mae will file an election to treat the mortgage pool as being included in the assets of a real estate mortgage investment conduit (“REMIC”). In that case, for federal income tax purpo ses the related certificate will represent ownership of a REMIC regular interest and an interest in any associated prepayment premiums, in each case, in respect of each mortgage loan in the pool. See “MATERIAL FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES” in the Fannie Mae MBS Prospectus.
Whole Pool Certificates ................ Fannie Mae’s counsel, Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP, has advised Fannie Mae that certificates issued under the trust documents that represent 100% of the beneficial interests in a pool of mortgage loans (or participation interests therein) held in the related trust and with respect to which REMIC elections are made will qualify as “whole pool certificates” to the same extent as certificates that represent 100% of the beneficial interests in a pool of mortgage loans (or participation interests therein) held in a trust with respect to which no REMIC elections are made.
Resecuritization ............................ Following the assignment of mortgage loans to a trust, the related certificates upon issuance will represent the initial securitization of the mortgage loans.
Any further assignment of the certificates to a REMIC trust or other issuance vehicle will repres ent the initial resecuritization of the mortgage loans.
Certificates backed by mortgage loans with respect to which a REMIC election is made may be resecuritized to the same extent as, and may be commingled freely with, certificates backed by mortgage loan s with respect to which no REMIC election is made.
Legal Investment Considerations . Under the Secondary Mortgage Market Enhancement Act of 1984, the certificates offered by this prospectus will be considered “securities issued or guaranteed by … the Federal National Mortgage Association.” Nevertheless, investors should consult their own legal advisor to determine whether and to what extent the certificates of an issuance constitute legal investments for them.
ERISA Considerations.................. For the reasons discussed in “ERISA CONSIDERATIONS” in the Fannie Mae MBS P rospectus, an investment in the certificates by a plan subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”) will not cause the assets of the plan to include the mortgage loans underlying the certificates or the assets of Fannie Mae under the fiduciary provisions of ER ISA or the prohibited transaction provisions of ER ISA or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).
Nevertheless, fiduciaries of such plan investors should consult with counsel regarding the applicability of the provisions of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code before purchasing the certificates.

SCHEDULE I
FORM OF PROPOSED ADDITIONAL DISCLOSURE ADDENDUM
The following information supplements the information in the Fannie Mae MBS Prospectus. In the event of any inconsistency between the information provided in this Addendum and the information in the Fannie Mae MBS Prospectus, the information in this Addendum shall prevail.
The mortgaged property is subject to affordable housing regulatory agreements that impose income restrictions on tenants of the mortgaged property and is an Affordable Housing Loan. See “THE MORTGAGE LOANS — Affordable Housing Loans”; “RISK FACTORS — RISKS RELATING TO YIELD AND PREPAYMENT — Prepayments Relating to Specific Types of Mortgage Loans and Mortgaged Properties — The successful operation of a mortgaged property securing an affordable housing mortgage loan may depend upon additional factors”; and “RISK FACTORS—RISKS RELATING TO YIELD AND PREPAYMENT —Prepayments Relating to Specific Types of Mortgage Loans and Mortgaged Properties—An affordable housing mortgage loan may be secured by a mortgaged property that has received an allocation of low-income housing tax credits but that fails to remain in compliance with the requirements for maintaining eligibility to receive the tax credits due to operations of the property or a casualty on the property” in the Fannie Mae MBS Prospectus for additional informa tion.
The MBS certificates will initially serve as collateral for a tax exempt issue of multifamily housing bonds (the “Series 2025A-1 Bonds”) issued by City of San José (the “Issuer”) pursuant to and secured by an Indenture of Trust by and between the Issuer and Computershare Trust Company, National Association , a national banking association, as trustee, and will be held as collateral for the Series 2025A-1 Bonds. The mortgage loan documents provide that the mortgage loan is cross-defaulted with certain agreements relating to the Series 2025A-1 Bonds entered into at the time of the issuance of the Series 2025A-1 Bonds, including but not limited to the indenture authorizing the Series 2025A-1 Bonds and any housing regulatory agreements that limit rents, impose income restrictions or otherwise restrict the use of the property.
Because the mortgage loan documents provide that the mortgage loan is cross -defaulted with certain of the agreements relating to the Series 2025A-1 Bonds, a default under any of the cross -defaulted documents may trigger an event of default on the mortgage loan. If Fannie Mae accelerates the mortgage loan as a result of any event of default under the mortgage loan, the mortgage loan will be paid in full, and the stated principal balance of the MBS certificates will be passed through to the holder of the MBS certificates. In this case, no yield maintenance or other prepayment premiums will be payable to the holder of the MBS certificates.
In addition to the matters described above, the eligible multifamily lender making the mortgage loan may request the disclosure of additional matters relating to the mortgage loan or upon delivery of the mortgage loan to Fannie Mae, in Fannie Mae’s discret ion it may determine that matters identified in the Term Sheet attached as APPENDIX H hereto or otherwise may need to be disclosed in the Additional Disclosure Addendum provided in connection with the issuance of the MBS certificates.

(a) No part of the proceeds of the Bonds or any other funds of the Issuer shall be used by the Issuer at any time directly or indirectly to acquire securities or obligations, the acquisition of which, or which in any other manner, would cause any Bond to b e an arbitrage bond as defined in Section 148 of the Code and any applicable Regulations promulgated thereunder.
(b) The Issuer will not take any action or permit or suffer any action to be taken if the result of the same would be to cause the Bonds to be “federally guaranteed” within the meaning of Section 149(b) of the Code and any applicable Regulations promulgated thereunder.

(a) By pursuing any available remedies under the Financing Agreement , the Regulatory Agreement or the MBS; provided, that available remedies under the MBS may only be pursued following an Event of Default under paragraph (a) under the heading “Events of Default,” above, or paragraph (b) under the heading “Events of Default,” above, with respect to the Series 2025A-1 Bonds; (b) Upon an Event of Default under paragraph (a) under the heading “Events of Default” above only, by realizing or causing to be realized through sale or otherwise upon the security pledged under the Indenture (including the sale or disposition of the MBS); and (c) By action or suit in equity, to enjoin any acts or things which may be unlawful or in violation of the rights of the Bondholders and to execute any other papers and documents and do and perform any and all such acts and things as may be necessary or ad visable in the opinion of the Trustee in order to have the respective claims of the Bondholders against the Issuer allowed in any bankruptcy or other proceeding.

No waiver of any default or Event of Default under the Indenture, whether by the Trustee or by the Bondholders, shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default or Event of Default or shall impair any rights or remedies consequent thereon.

The Issuer elects by the Regulatory Agreement to have the Project meet the requirements of Section 142(d)(1)(B) of the Code.
Low Income Tenants; Records and Reports
Pursuant to the requirements of the Code and the Issuer, the Borrower represents, covenants and agrees by the Regulatory Agreement as follows:
(a) The Project will be developed for the purpose of providing multifamily residential rental property, and the Borrower will own, manage and operate the Project as a project to provide multifamily residential rental property comprising a building or structure or several interrelated buildings or structures, together with any functionally related and subordinate facilities, and no other facilities in accordance with the Act, and in accordance with such requirements as may be imposed thereby on the Project from time to time.
(b) Commencing on the first day of the Qualified Project Period, Low Income Tenants shall occupy at least 40% of all completed and occupied units in the Project before any additional units are occupied by persons who are not Low Income Tenants; and for the Qualified Project Period no less than 40% of the total number of completed units of the Project shall at all times be rented to and occupied by Low Income Tenants. For the purposes of this subsection (b), a vacant unit which was most recently occupied by a Low Income Tenant is treated as rented and occupied by a Low Income Tenant until reoccupied, other than for a temporary period of not more than 31 days, at which time the character of such unit shall be redetermined. In determining whether the requirements of this subsection (b) have been met, fractions of units shall be treated as entire units.
(c) Except as provided in the Regulatory Agreement, n o tenant qualifying as a Low Income Tenant upon initial occupancy shall be denied continued occupancy of a unit in the Project because, after admission, such tenant’s Adjusted Income increases to exceed the qualifying limit for Low Income Tenants; provided, however, that should a Low Income Tenant’s Adjusted Income, as of the most recent determination thereof, exceed 140% of the then applicable income limit for a Low Income Tenant of the same family size, the next available unit of comparable or smaller size must be rented to (or held vacant and available for

immediate occupancy by) a Low Income Tenant; and provided further that, until such next available unit is rented to a tenant who is not a Low Income Tenant, the former Low Income Tenant who has ceased to qualify as such shall be deemed to continue to be a Low Income Tenant for purposes of the 40% requirement of subsection (b) of this section (if applicable). If the Project consists of more than one building, this requirement shall apply on a building by building basis. (d) The Borrower will obtain, complete and maintain on file Income Certifications from each Low Income Tenant, including (i) an Income Certification dated no later than the day prior to the initial occupancy of such Low Income Tenant in the Project and, in the case of tenants residing in the Project as of the date of issuance of the Bonds (if applicable), dated no later than the day prior to the disbursement of Bond proceeds to fund acquisition and construction of the Project, and (ii) thereafter, annual Income Certifications dated as of the anniversary date of each initial Income Certification. The Borrower will obtain and provide such additional information as may be required in the future by the State, by the Issuer and by Section 142(d) of the Code, as the same may be amended from time to time, or in such other form and manner as may be required by applicable rules, rulings, policies, procedures, Regulations or other official statements now or thereafter promulgated, proposed or made by the Department of the Treasury or the Internal Revenue Service with respect to obligations which are Tax Exempt under Section 142(d) of the Code. A copy of the most recent Income Certification for Low Income Tenants commencing or continuing occupation of a Low Income Unit (and not previously filed with the Issuer) shall be attached to the Certificate of Continuing Program Compliance which is to be filed with the Issuer no later than January 31 of each year until the end of the Qualified Project Period. The Borrower shall make a good faith effort to verify that the income information provided by an applicant in an Income Certification is accurate by obtaining the acceptable forms of verification enumerated in Chapter 3 of the most current, amended edition of HUD Handbook 4350.3 , or such instruction by HUD that may supersede this handbook, and any additional documentation that the Issuer shall deem relevant, such as the two most recent years’ tax returns or other forms of independent verification reasonably acceptable to the Issuer.
(e) The Borrower will maintain complete and accurate records pertaining to the Low Income Units, and will permit any duly authorized representative of the Issuer, the Lender, the Department of the Treasury or the Internal Revenue Service to inspect the books a nd records of the Borrower pertaining to the Project during regular business hours and upon reasonable notice, including those records pertaining to the occupancy of the Low Income Units.
(f) The Borrower will prepare and submit to the Issuer and any administrator, no later than the fifteenth day of each month following the receipt by the Issuer of the Completion Certificate to and including the month in which such report indicates that 40% of the occupied units (excluding units occupied by property managers) are occupied by Low Income Tenants, and thereafter no later than March 31 of each year for the prior calendar year (or at the Issuer’s request, at the end of each calendar quarter) until the end of the Qualified Project Period, a Certificate of Continuing Program Compliance executed by the Borrower. (g) On or before each February 1 during the Qualified Project Period, the Borrower will submit to the Issuer a draft of the completed Internal Revenue Service Form 8703 or such other annual certification required by the Code to be submitted to the Secretary of the Treasury as to whether the Project continues to meet the requirements of Section 142(d) of the Code, as may be amended or renumbered. On or before each March 31 (or such other date as may be required by the Code); during the Qualified Project Period, the Borrower will submit such completed form to the Secretary of the Treasury, regardless of whether or not the Issuer has responded to such draft provided that at any point when no Tax Exempt private activity bonds are Outstanding with regards to the Pro ject, but before the end of the Compliance Period, the Borrower may submit to the Issuer (in the same manner specified above) such other annual certification as the Issuer may reasonably require.
(h) Subject to the requirements of any Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments Contract with respect to the Project, each lease or rental agreement pertaining to a Low Income Unit shall contain clauses, among others, wherein each tenant who occupies a Low Income Unit: (i) certifies the accuracy of the statements made in the Income Certification; (ii) agrees that the family income and other eligibility requirements shall be deemed substantial and material obligations of the tenancy of such tenant, that such
E-4

tenant will comply promptly with all requests for information with respect thereto from the Borrower, the Lender, the Trustee or the Administrator, and that the failure to provide accurate information in the Income Certification or refusal to comply with a request for information with respect thereto shall be deemed a violation of a substantial obligation of the tenancy of such tenant; (iii) acknowledges that the Borrower has relied on the Income Certification and supporting information supplied by the Low Income Tenant in determining qualification for occupancy of the Low Income Unit, and that any material misstatement in such certification (whether or not intentional) will be cause for immediate termination of such lease or rental agreement; and (iv) agrees that the tenant’s income is subject to annual certification in accordance with this subsection (d) and that if upon any such certification such tenant’s Adjusted Income exceeds the applicable income limit under this subsection (c), such tenant may cease to qualify as a Low Income Tenant and such unit’s rent is subject to increase.
For purposes of this section, no unit occupied by a resident manager shall be treated as a rental unit during the time of such occupation.

The Borrower acknowledges that a sale or exchange of 50% or more of the capital and profits interests in the Borrower in any twelve-month period will be treated for federal tax purposes as a change in ownership of the Project at the time the 50% transfer o ccurs.

E-6

Term
The Regulatory Agreement and all and several of the terms of the Regulatory Agreement shall become effective upon its execution and delivery, and shall remain in full force and effect for the Compliance Period and, except as provided in the Regulatory Agreement, shall terminate at the end of the Compliance Period, it being expressly agreed and understood that the provisions of the Regulatory Agreement are intended to survive the retirement of the Bonds and discharge of the Indenture and the Financing Agreement.

APPENDIX F
BOOK-ENTRY SYSTEM
The information in this section concerning DTC and DTC’s book -entry system has been obtained from sources that the Issuer and the Borrower believe to be reliable, but neither the Issuer, the Underwriter nor the Borrower take responsibility for the accuracy thereof.
The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), New York, New York , will act as securities depository for the Bonds. The Bonds will be issued as fully -registered securities registered in the name of Cede & Co. (DTC’s partnership nominee) or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. One fully- registered bond will be issued for each maturity of the Bonds, each in the aggregate principal amount of such maturity, and will be deposited with DTC or held by the Trustee.
DTC, the world’s largest depository, is a limited -purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a “banking organization” within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a “clearing corporation” with in the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a “clearing agency” registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC holds and provides asset servicing for over 3.5 million issues of U.S. and non -U.S. equity issues, corporate and municipal debt issues, and money market instruments (from over 100 countries) that DTC’s participants (“Direct Participants”) deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the post-trade settlement among Direct Participants of sales and other securities transactions in deposited securities, through electronic computerized book-entry transfers and pledges between Direct Participants’ accounts. This eliminates the need for physical movement of securities certificates.
Direct Participants include both U.S. and non -U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (“DTCC”). DTCC is the holding company for DTC, National Securities Clearing Corporation and Fixed Income Clearing Corporation, all of which are registered clearing agencies. DTCC is owned by the users of its regulated subsidiaries. Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, and clearing corporations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly (“Indirect Participants”). The DTC Rules applicable to its Participants are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Purchases of Bonds under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct Participants, which will receive a credit for the Bonds on DTC’s records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each Bond (“Beneficial Owner”) is in turn to be recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants’ records. Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase. Beneficial Owners are, however, expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct or Indirect Participant through which the Beneficial Owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the bonds are to be accomplished by entries made on the records of Direct and Indirect Participants acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in bonds, except in the event that use of the book-entry system for the bonds is discontinued.
To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Bonds deposited by Direct Participants with DTC are registered in the name of DTC’s partnership nominee, Cede & Co., or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of Bond s with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. or such other DTC nominee do not effect any change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the Bonds; DTC’s records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such Bonds are credited, which may or may not be the Beneficial Owners. The Direct and Indirect Participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers.
Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct Participants to Indirect Participants, and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time.
Beneficial Owners of Bonds may wish to take certain steps to augment the transmission to them of notices of significant events with respect to the Bonds, such as redemptions, tenders, defaults, and proposed amendments to the transaction documents. For example, Beneficial Owners of Bonds may wish to ascertain that the nominee holding the Bonds for their benefit has agreed to obtain and transmit notices to Beneficial Owners. I n the alternative, Beneficial

Owners may wish to provide their names and addresses to the registrar and request that copies of notices be provided directly to them.
Redemption notices shall be sent to DTC. If less than all of the Bonds within a maturity are being redeemed, the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in such issue to be redeemed shall be determined on a pro rata basis in accordance with the “Pro Rata Pass Through Distributions of Princ ipal” procedures of DTC.
Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (nor any other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to Bonds unless authorized by a Direct Participant in accordance with DTC’s Procedures. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an Omnibus Proxy to the Issuer as soon as possible after the record date. The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede & Co.’s consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to whose accounts Bonds are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy).
Principal and interest payments on the Bonds will be made to Cede & Co., or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. DTC’s practice is to credit Direct Participants’ accounts upon DTC’s receipt of funds and corresponding detail information from the Issuer, on payable date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC’s records. Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in “street name,” and will be the responsibility of such Participant and not of DTC or its nominee, or the Issuer, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be i n effect from time to time. Payment of principal and interest payments to Cede & Co. (or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC) is the responsibility of the Issuer, disbursement of such payments to Direct Participant s will be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners will be the responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants.
DTC may discontinue providing its services as depository with respect to the Bonds at any time by giving reasonable notice to the Issuer. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor depository is not obtained, bonds are required to be printed and delivered.
The Issuer may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry transfers through DTC (or a successor securities depository). In that event, the bonds will be printed and delivered.
The information in this section concerning DTC and DTC’s book -entry system has been obtained from sources that the Issuer believes to be reliable, but the Issuer takes no responsibility for the accuracy thereof.

APPENDIX I
PROPOSED FORM OF OPINION OF BOND COUNSEL
Upon the issuance of the Bonds, Anzel Galvan LLP, Bond Counsel for the Issuer, proposes to issue an opinion in substantially the following form:
________, 2025
City of San José
San José, California
FINAL OPINION:
$[A-1 Amount] City of San José Multifamily Housing Revenue Bonds (Fannie Mae MBS Secured) (Arcade) Series 2025A-1
$[A-2 Amount] City of San José Multifamily Housing Revenue Bonds (Arcade) Series 2025A-2
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as bond counsel to the City of San José (the “Issuer”) in connection with issuance of the bonds referenced above (collectively, the “Bonds”). The Bonds are issued pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 7 of Part 5 of Division 31 of the California Health and Safety Code , as amended (collectively, the “Act”) and an Indenture of Trust, dated as of ________ 1, 2025 (the “Indenture”), between the Issuer and Computershare Trust Company, National Association, a national banking association, as trustee (the “Trustee”). The Indenture provides that the Bonds are issued for the stated purpose of making a loan of the proceeds thereof to Kooser Apartments, L.P., a California limited partnership (the “Borrower”), pursuant to a Financing Agreement, dated as of ________ 1, 2025 (the “Financing Agreement”), by and among the Issuer, the Trustee and the Borrower. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture.
In such connection, we have reviewed the Indenture, the Financing Agreement, the Regulatory Agreement, the Tax Certificate and Agreement (the “Tax Certificate”), dated the date hereof, between the Issuer and the Borrower, certificates of the Issuer, the Borrower, the Trustee and others, the opinion of the City Attorney, the opinions of counsel to the Borrower, the Trustee and others, and such other documents, opinions and matters to the extent we deemed necessary to render the opinions set forth herein.
The opinions expressed herein are based on an analysis of existing laws, regulations, rulings and court decisions and cover certain matters not directly addressed by such authorities. Such opinions may be affected by actions taken or omitted or events occurring after the original delivery of the Bonds on the date hereof. We have not undertaken to determine, or to inform any person, whether any such actions are taken or omitted or events do occur or any other matters come to our attention after the original delivery of the Bonds on the date hereof. Accordingly, this letter speaks only as of its date and is not intended to, and may not, be relied upon or otherwise used in connection with any such actions, events or matters. Our engagement with respect to the Bonds has concluded with their issuance, and we disclaim any obligation to update this letter. We have assumed the genuineness of all documents and signatures provided to us and the due and legal execution and delivery thereof by, and validity against, any parties other than the Issuer. We have assumed, without undertaking to verify, the accuracy of the factual matters represented, warranted or certified in the documents and of the legal conclusions contained in the opinions referred to in the second paragraph hereof. Furthermore, we have assumed compliance with all covenants and agreements contained in the Indenture, the Financing Agreement, the Regulatory Agreement and the Tax Certificate, including (without limitation) covenants and agreements compliance with which is necessary to assure that future actions, omissions or events will not cause interest on the Bonds to be included in gross income for federal income tax purposes. We call attention to the fact
I-2
DRAFT--Contact the Office of the City Clerk at (408) 535-1260 or [email protected] for final document.
that the rights and obligations under the Bonds, the Indenture, the Financing Agreement, the Regulatory Agreement and the Tax Certificate and their enforceability may be subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, arrangement, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium and other laws relati ng to or affecting creditors’ rights, to the application of equitable principles, to the exercise of judicial discretion in appropriate cases and to the limitations on legal remedies against governmental entities such as the Issuer in the State of California. We express no opinion with respect to any indemnification, contribution, liquidated damages, penalty (including any remedy deemed to constitute or to have the effect of a penalty), right of set-off, arbitration, judicial reference, choice of law, choice of forum, choice of venue, non-exclusivity of remedies, waiver or severability provisions contained in the foregoing documents, nor do we express any opinion with respect to the state or quality o f title to or interest in any of the assets described in or as subject to the lien of the Indenture or the Financing Agreement or the accuracy or sufficiency of the description contained therein of, or the remedies available to enforce liens on, any such assets. Our services did not include financial or other non-legal advice. Finally, we undertake no responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the Official Statement or other offering material relating to the Bonds and express no opinion or view with respect thereto.
Based upon the foregoing and existing law, as of the date hereof, we are of the opinion that:
1. The Issuer is a chartered city and municipal corporation duly and validly organized and existing under the laws of the State of California and has the lawful authority to issue the Bonds.
2. The Bonds constitute the valid and binding limited obligations of the Issuer, payable solely from the Trust Estate pledged therefor under the Indenture.
3. The Indenture has been duly executed and delivered by, and constitutes the valid and binding obligation of, the Issuer. The Indenture creates a valid pledge, to secure the payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds, of the Trust Estate, subject to the provisions of the Indenture permitting the application thereof for the purposes and on the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture.
4. The Bonds do not constitute a debt or liability of the Issuer, the State or any political subdivision thereof, or a pledge of the faith and credit of the State or any such political subdivision, other than the Issuer to the extent provided in the Indenture.
5. Interest on the Bonds is excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes, except during any period while Bonds are held by a “substantial user” of the facilities financed by the Bonds, or a “related person” within the meaning of Section 147(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Interest on the Bonds is not an item of tax preference for purposes of the federal alternative minimum tax imposed on individuals; however, interest on the Bonds is taken into account in determining annual adjusted financial statement income for the purpose of computing the alternative minimum tax imposed on certain corporations. The opinion set forth in this paragraph is subject to the condition that the Issuer and the Borrower comply with all requirements of the Code that must be satisfied subsequent to the issuance of the Bonds in order that the interest thereon be, and continue to be, excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes. The Issuer and the Borrower have covenanted to comply with all ap plicable requirements. Failure to comply with certain of such requirements may cause interest on the Bonds to be included in gross income for federal income tax purposes retroactively to the date of issuance of the Bonds.
6. The interest on the Bonds is exempt from personal income taxation imposed by the State of California.
Except as expressly stated above, we express no opinion regarding any tax consequences related to the ownership, sale or disposition of the Bonds, or the amount, accrual or receipt of interest on, the Bonds. Owners of the Bonds should consult their tax advisors regarding the applicability of any collateral tax consequences of owning the Bonds.
Respectfully submitted,
