(a) Twenty Percent Rents. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.3 below, the Rent charged to Tenants of the Twenty Percent Units, shall not exceed one-twelfth of thirty percent (30%) of twenty percent (20%) of Area Median Income, adjusted for Assumed Household Size.

(g) Compliance with Density Bonus Law. Occupancy standards, occupancy assumptions, income limits and rent levels for the Density Bonus Units shall comply with the requirements of the Density Bonus Law.
2.3 Rent Increases.

The City will provide Owner with a schedule of maximum permissible Rents for the Units and the maximum monthly allowances for utilities and services ( excluding telephone) at least nine months before the expected date for receipt of a temporary certificate of occupancy and annually. The utility allowance schedule will be determined either by use of the CUAC or Housing Authority schedule.

For purposes of this Agreement, if any rent subsidy is terminated or reduced, an increase in the tenant's total monthly payment toward rent to offset the terminated or reduced rent subsidy shall not constitute a Rent Increase as long as the Rent for the Unit is not increased above the maximum allowable Rent.
2.4 Increased Income of Occupying Households.
(a) Increased Income Below Very Low Income. In the event, upon recertification of an occupant household's income, the Owner discovers that a Twenty Percent Household no longer qualifies as a Twenty Percent Household (but does qualify as a Very Low Income Household), such household's Unit shall be considered a Very Low Income Unit (and the Rent may be increased to one-twelfth (1/12th) of thirty percent (30%) of fifty percent (50%) of Area Median Income upon sixty (60) days written notice to the household) and the Owner shall rent the next available Unit to a Twenty Percent Household to comply with the requirements of Section 2.1 above.
(b) Non-Qualifying Household. If, upon recertification of a Tenant's income, the Owner determines that a Tenant has an Adjusted Income exceeding the qualifying income for Very Low Income Household, adjusted for Actual Household Size, such Tenant shall be permitted to continue to occupy the Unit at a Rent not exceeding one-twelfth of thirty percent (30%) of one hundred ten percent (110%) of Area Median Income, and the Unit shall continue to be classified as a Very Low Income Unit until the Tenant vacates the Unit, at which time the Unit shall be re-rented to a Twenty Percent Household or a Very Low Income Household, as applicable, to meet the requirements of Section 2.1 above. Notwithstanding the above, if the Owner determines that a Tenant has an Adjusted Income exceeding One Hundred Twenty Percent (120%) of Area Median Income, the Owner may elect to increase the Rent to the maximum permissible..
(c) Termination of Occupancy. Upon e1mination of occupancy of a Unit by a Tenant, such Unit shall be deemed to be continuously occupied by a household of the same income level (e.g., Twenty Percent Household or Very Low Income Household) as the initial income level of the vacating Tenant, until such Unit is reoccupied, at which time the income character of the Unit (e.g., Twenty Percent Household or Very Low Income Unit) shall be redetermined.
(d) Continued Compliance. In the event an occupant household's income increases and the rent is increased as set forth in Sections (a) and (b) above, the Unit shall continue to be classified as a Twenty Percent Unit or a Very Low Income Unit, as applicable, until such time as the Unit is either vacated by the occupant or another Unit is rented at the applicable income limit.
2.5 Lease Provisions. Owner shall include in leases for all Units provisions which authorize Owner to immediately terminate the tenancy of any household one or more of whose members has misrepresented any fact material to the household's qualification as a Twenty Percent Unit or Very Low Income Household. Each lease or rental agreement shall also provide 10 that the household is subject to annual certification in accordance with Section 3.1 below, and that, if the household's income increases above the applicable limits for a Twenty Percent Unit or Very Low Income Household, as applicable, such household's Rent may be subject to increase.
2.6 Condominium Conversion. The Owner shall not convert Development units to condominium or cooperative ownership or sell condominium or cooperative conversion rights to the Property during the Term of this Agreement.
2.7 Expiration of Regulatory Agreements. Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 2.1 and 2.2, upon expiration of the fifty-five (55) year term of the TCAC Regulatory Agreement, the maximum household income of the Affordable Units and the corresponding Rent amounts for the Affordable Units may be increased to an amount necessary to make operation of the Development financially feasible (as defined below); provided all of the following conditions are met: (1) the maximum qualifying household income for any unit shall in no event be increased above 80% of Area Median Income adjusted for household size appropriate to the Unit, (2) the annual affordable rent for any Unit shall in no event exceed 30% of 60% of Area Median Income, as adjusted for household size appropriate to the Unit; (3) the City has approved any such rent increase based on a projected operating budget provided to the City by the Owner showing the need for the rent increase; (4) the rent increase is only applicable to the minimum number of Units and only in the amount necessary to ensure that the Development is financially feasible as shown on the operating budget submitted to the City; and (5) there shall be no displacement of existing occupants of the Units. For purposes of this section "financially feasible" shall mean that the Development generates sufficient revenue to pay all operating costs and required debt service. Prior to any such rent increase, Owner shall use diligent efforts to seek alternative funding sources that would maintain the financial feasibility of the Development at the Rents set forth in Section 2.2.

Each and every contract, deed or other instrument hereafter executed covering or conveying the Property or any portion thereof shall be held conclusively to have been executed, delivered and accepted subject to such covenants and restrictions, regardless of whether such covenants or restrictions are set forth in such contract, deed or other instrument, unless City expressly releases such conveyed portion of the Property from the requirements of this Agreement.
6.5 Enforcement by the City.
(a) If Owner fails to perform any obligation under this Agreement, and fails to cure the default within 30 days after City has notified the Owner in writing of the default or, if the default cannot be cured within 30 days, fails to commence to cure within 30 days and thereafter diligently pursue such cure, City shall have the right to enforce this Agreement by any or all of the following actions, or any other remedy provided by law:
17 (i) Calling the Loan. City may declare a default under the Note, accelerate the indebtedness evidenced by the Note, and proceed with foreclosure under the Deed of Trust.
(ii) Action to Compel Performance or for Damage. City may bring an action at law or in equity to compel Owner's performance of its obligations under this Agreement, and/or for damages.
(iii) Remedies Provided Under Loan Documents. City may exercise any other remedy provided under the Loan Documents.
(b) The City shall provide notice of a default to the Investor Limited Partner and any limited partner of Owner who has requested written notice from the City in the manner set forth in Section 6.1 of the Loan Agreement.
6.6 Attorney's Fees and Costs. In any action brought to enforce this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to all costs and expenses of suit, including reasonable attorneys' fees. This section shall be interpreted in accordance with California Civil Code Section 1717 and judicial decisions interpreting that statute.
6.7 Recording and Filing. City and Owner shall cause this Agreement, and all amendments and supplements to it, to be recorded against the Property in the Official Records of the County of Alameda. This Agreement encumbers only the Owner's leasehold interest in the Property and does not encumber the City's fee title to the Property.
6.8 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California.
6.9 Amendments. This Agreement may be amended only by a written instrument executed by all the parties hereto or their successors in title, and duly recorded in the real property records of the County of Alameda, California.

All notices given or certificates delivered under this Agreement shall be in writing and be deemed received on the delivery or refusal date shown on the delivery receipt, if: (i) personally delivered by a commercial service which furnishes signed receipts of delivery or (ii) mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed as shown on the signature page. Any of the parties may, by notice given hereunder, designate any further or different addresses to which subsequent notices, certificates or communications shall be sent.
6.11 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining portions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
6.12 Multiple Originals; Counterparts. This Regulatory Agreement may be executed in multiple originals, each of which is deemed to be an original, and may be signed in counterparts.
6.13 Revival of Agreement after Foreclosure. In the event there is a foreclosure of the Property, this Regulatory Agreement will revive according to its original terms if, during the Term, the owner of record before the foreclosure, or deed in lieu of foreclosure, or any entity that includes the former owner or those with whom the former owner has or had family or business ties, obtains an ownership interest in the Development or Property. 18 18
