Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement prohibits Developer from charging tenants of any Affordable Housing Unit any fees or charges which are for services or items that the tenant of the Unit voluntarily signs up for and which are available to all tenants at the Project, and the amount of such fees will be in addition to the applicable Affordable Housing Cost.

At any time this Agreement is the sole encumbrance recorded against title to the Improvements setting forth rent and income restrictions for the Affordable Housing Units, the income of each Affordable Housing Unit tenant must be determined and certified prior to occupancy of that unit, using the definition of Annual Income established by the California Department of Housing and Community Development, and the Developer may certify initial income qualification using one of the following two source documentation methods:
(i) Obtain a written statement from the administrator of a government program under which the household receives benefits and which examines each year the annual income of the household; or (ii) Examine the source documents evidencing annual income for the household. Developer shall use good faith efforts to obtain all applicable source documents to include in the tenant's file: Pay stub for the most recent pay period; Income tax return for the most recent tax year; Income verification form from the applicant's current employer; Income verification form from the Social Security Administration and/or the California Department of Social Services if the applicant receives assistance from either of those agencies; and, any statement documenting unearned income received by the household.
(c) For so long as the Project is encumbered by a Tax Credit and/or Tax Exempt Bond low-income regulatory agreement, income of each Affordable Housing Unit tenant shall be determined and certified strictly in accordance with the requirements of CTCAC. At any time this Agreement is the sole encumbrance recorded against title to the Improvements setting forth rent and income restrictions for the Affordable Housing Units, annually, Developer shall determine the income of all tenants residing in an Affordable Housing Unit and Developer may choose to use either of the two methods described above or may obtain from the household a written statement of the amount of the households income and family size along with a signed certification by the tenant that the information is complete and accurate. The certification must state that the household will provide source documentation upon request.
(d) For so long as the Project is encumbered by a Tax Credit and/or Tax Exempt Bond low-income regulatory agreement, income limits for Affordable Housing Unit tenant shall be determined and certified strictly in accordance with the requirements of CTCAC. At any time this Agreement is the sole encumbrance recorded against title to the Improvements setting forth rent and income restrictions for the Affordable Housing Units, income limits, adjusted for household size, will be based off of the Area Median Income for Santa Clara County, which is published periodically by HCD and, upon request, City shall notify the Developer of the applicable area median income limits.

(a) For so long as the Project is encumbered by a Tax Credit and/or Tax Exempt Bond low-income regulatory agreement, determination of over income tenants and rent charged to such over-income tenants shall be determined and certified strictly in accordance with the requirements of CTCAC, and no resident that occupies a unit subject to a regulatory agreement with respect to the Tax Credits, shall be evicted as a result of such resident being over income except as and when allowed by Federal law, including 26 U.S.C. §42. At any time this Agreement is the sole encumbrance recorded against title to the Improvements setting forth rent and income restrictions for the Affordable Housing Units, subsections (b) and (c) below shall apply.
(b) Any Affordable Housing Unit tenant whose income no longer qualifies for the Affordable Housing Unit at their current Monthly Rent may continue to reside in the Unit. However, subject to Section 4(b), they must pay rent at the lesser of:

ii. The current market rent being charged in a comparable unit not subject to this Agreement.
(c) Affordable Housing Units occupied by tenants whose income no longer qualifies as an Income-Qualified Household are considered in temporary "non-compliance" with this Agreement. To bring the Affordable Housing Unit back into compliance, the Developer must:
(i) Rent the next vacant Unit of the same size (i.e.: 2-bedroom) to an Income Qualified Household for a BMR Unit whose Annual Income would qualify them for the "non-compliant" Affordable Housing Unit at the original level of affordability (i.e., Very Low-Income, Low-Income, Median-Income or Moderate-Income) as the "non-compliant" Affordable Housing Unit (however, using the then current Area Median Income as adjusted for family size). Such Unit replaces the "non-compliant" Affordable Housing Unit; and
(ii) Re-designate the original Affordable Housing Unit that was in non compliance as a market rate unit in Project. The tenants may be charged rents comparable to existing market rate units in the Project. c) Subject to the provisions of Section 1 (b) above, Developer shall maintain a distribution of the affordable housing units in Exhibit B.

for pet damages, and keys, and similar items, consistent with applicable laws.
(e) The Developer shall include provisions in leases or rental agreements for all Affordable Housing Units which authorize the Developer to immediately terminate the tenancy of any tenant occupying an Affordable Housing Unit where one or more of such tenants have misrepresented any fact material to the qualification of such an individual or household as an Income Qualified Household, including, but not limited to, persons 18 years of age and older that reside in the household that are not listed on the lease.

City Loan Agreement 20 P24
Promptly after Completion of the Improvements, as generally and specifically required by this Agreement and in particular the Scope of Development, the City shall furnish Bonower with a Release of Construction Covenants upon written request therefor by Borrower. The City shall not unreasonably withhold such Release of Construction Covenants and such Release of Construction Covenants shall be issued so long as Bonower has constructed and developed the Property in accordance with this Agreement and substantially in accordance with the construction drawings approved by the City for the Project. Such Release of Construction Covenants shall be, and shall so state, conclusive determination of satisfactory completion of all of the construction obligations required by this Agreement. The Release of Construction Covenants shall be in a form mutually, reasonably, and in good faith agreed upon by City and Bonower and shall be a conclusive determination of satisfactory completion of the Project and all construction obligations required by this Agreement.
