City Manager’s Report
TO:HONORABLE CITY COUNCIL
FROM:CITY MANAGER DEPARTMENT: PLANNING AND
COMMUNITY ENVIRONMENT
DATE:APRIL 12, 1999 CMR:194:99
SUBJECT:APPROVAL OF AGREEMENTS RELATED TO LOANS IN THE
TOTAL AMOUNT OF $1,000,000 TO ASSIST IN THE ACQUISITION
OF THE PALO ALTO GARDENS APARTMENTS AT 648 SAN
ANTONIO ROAD
REPORT IN BRIEF
Last November, Council approved a $1 million loan to assist Mid-Peninsula Housing
Coalition (MPHC) acquire the Palo. Alto Gardens Apartments. On March 15, 1999, a Budget
Amendment Ordinance (BAO) was adopted to fund the loan on an interim basis to permit
the transaction to close this fiscal year, as required by the purchase agreement and other
funding. The permanent funding sources for the City’s loan will be decided by Council as
part of the CDBG budget actions on May 10. The City funding represents about six percent
of the project’s $16.7 million budget.
The attached loan and regulatory agreements provide the City’s funding, as appropriated by
the March 15 BAO, and establish conditions for disbursement of funds and the long-term
restrictions on use of the property. Acquisition of the Palo Alto Gardens Apartments is
scheduled for the last week of April. Sale of the project under the financing structure devised
by MPHC will preserve the housing for the existing Section 8-assisted.residents and also
maintain the entire project in the City’s inventory of affordable rental housing, subject to new
55Lyear affordability restrictions under a City regulatory agreement. As required by the City
agreement, when vacancies occur, preference for occupancy will be given to holders of
Section 8 assistance and project-based Section 8 contracts will be sought, if available.
Without the availability of the Section 8 program, the occupancy of the project would
otherwise gradually transition through attrition to low income households with incomes in
the fifty to sixty percent of median income range. In anticipation of the possibility of a
termination of the Section 8 program by the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD), special rent reserve funds will be created that would be utilized to keep
rents affordableto the very-low incom~ tenants while meeting the project’s required loan
payments and operating expenses during a transition period.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Council:
Approve the attached Loan Agreement (with attached form of promissory note, deed
of trust and security agreement) with the Mid-Peninsula Housing Corporation
(MPHC) to provide a loan of $900,000 toward the acquisition of the land at the Palo
Alto Gardens Apartments at 648 San Antonio Road.
Approve the attached Loan Agreement (with attached form of promissory note, deed
of trust and regulatory agreement) between the City of Palo Alto and MP Palo Alto
Gardens Associates, a California Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") to provide
a loan of $100,000 toward the acquisition of the improvements at the Palo Alto
Gardens Apartments.
Authorize the Mayor to execute the agreements, in substantially similar form, and
direct the City Manager to administer the provisions of the agreements and to execute
any other documents, including a subordination agreement to the bond documents,
required to close the escrow for the acquisition of the property.
BACKGROUND
The 156-unit Palo Alto Gardens Apartments complex was developed for use as very-low
income rentals in 1973 with HUD financing and a 20-year rental assistance contract, but
without City assistance other than a rezoning to a Planned Community designation. In late
1997, the owners began converting the project to market rate rental housing as permitted by
Federal rules and began renting vacant units to market tenants. The most recent information
available, from January 1999, shows at least 13 units occupied by non-assisted tenants. In
November 1998, MPHC entered into a purchase agreement for the property with the
objective of preventing its conversion to market rentals. MPHC subsequently submitted an
application for a City loan of $1 million to assist with the property’s $13 million purchase
price. On November 23, 1998, Council adopted Resolution No. 7815 approving a $1 million
loan commitment from the City’s Housing Development Funds. On March 15, 1999, Council
approved a Budget Amendment Ordinance appropriating $1,000,000 in City Housing
Reserve Funds for the loan. Council directed staff to prepare the funding agreement and
other documents for Council action in April. Close of escrow is scheduled for April 29.
DISCUSSION
The financing plan used by MPHC last year to acquire the 149-unit Central Park Apartments
in Mountain View (which also had the same ownership) is being replicated to acquire Palo
Alto Gardens. The major funding source for the $16.7 million project is a 40-year, fixed rate
$11,435,000 loan funded from tax-exempt bonds issued by the Association of Bay Area
Governments (ABAG) Finance Authority for Nonprofit Corporations. The bond issue has
received a Standard and Poor’s "A" rating. The other funding component is an equity
CMR: 194:99 Page 2 of 7
contribution of approximately $3.8 million from the sale of Federal low income housing tax
credits to the limited partner investor, Transamerica Occidental Life Insurance Company.
This same tax credit investor was involved in the acquisition of the Sheridan Apartments.
Due to Federal rules which limit the percentage of the bond proceeds that can be used to
acquire land, the acquisition, financing and ownership of the land and the improvements will
be structured separately. MPHC will acquire title to the land with City assistance. A
partnership, MP Palo Alto Gardens Associates, has been formed to acquire the improvements
using the bond proceeds, the tax credit contribution and a loan from MPHC of a portion of
its developer fee. The general partner is a nonprofit affiliate of MPHC and Transamerica is
the limited partner. The Partnership will lease the land from MPHC for a term of sixty years
at an annual rent of about $265,000 per year payable from excess cash flow from operating
the project.
Because the land and the improvements will be separately owned, the City’s assistance is in
the form of two separate loans, a $900,000 loan to MPHC to assist with land acquisition and
a $100,000 loan to the Partnership to assist with its acquisition of the improvements. For
this reason, there are two sets of City documents for this transaction. The City is providing
some of its assistance directly to the Partnership in order to clearly establish the City’s right
to regulate rents and occupancy of the units. The City will be subordinating its loans to the
approximately $11.4 million loan funded by the bond proceeds. Both City loans are at three
percent simple interest.
The primary objectives of MPHC’s acquisition, and the City’s financial assistance, are to
prevent the conversion of the units to market rentals and to ensure that the utmost efforts will
.be made in future years to retain the Section 8 rental assistance. The City’s Regulatory
Agreement requires the owner to give a preference to holders of Section 8 vouchers
whenever vacancies occur and to seek Section 8 contract assistance for all units, if possible.
It is expected that the project will gradually return to virtually one hundred percent Section
8 occupancy as the current market rate tenants move away.
The project’s use, occupancy and rents will be controlled by a recorded regulatory agreement
as required by the tax credit program with additional City restrictions on rents and occupancy
included in a 55-year City regulatory agreement. Units not rented to Section 8 tenants must
be rented to very-low or low income tenants. At least 31 of the project’s 156 units are
restricted to occupancy by very-low income households with incomes below 50 percent of
the County median income as defined by HUD. Monthly rents must not exceed 30 percent
of 50 percent of the median income. Ninety-nine units are to be occupied by low-income
households with incomes below 60 percent of the median income with rents based on 30
percent of monthly income. One unit will be set aside for a resident manager. Twenty-five
of the units will not be restricted by the City in order to avoid relocation issues, but are still
subject to the tax credit program rules.
CMR: 194:99 Page 3 of 7
Similar to the Sheridan project, this project is expected to produce significant cash flow
either with the Section 8 rent revenue or the maximum rents allowed by the tax credit
program and the City’s regulatory agreement. This excess cash flow, after payment of
operating expenses and debt service on the bond loan, is expected to be over $300,000
annually and will be used to pay the annual land lease rent payments owed by the Partnership
to MPHC. The City’s $900,000 loan to MPHC will be repayable from these land lease
revenues. However, the City has agreed to defer repayment of this loan until the rent reserve
funds described below have been fully funded, which is projected to be in six and one-half
years or by the end of 2005. Thereafter, excess cash flow would begin to repay the interest
and principal on the loan. The terms of the note provide that excess cash flow will be split
between the City and MPHC with the first $95,000, plus 50 percent of the amount over
$95,000, being paid to the City to repay interest and then principal of the loan. The City’s
loan could be fully repaid within five years or by the end of 2010. Payments on the $100,000
City loan to the Partnership are fully deferred until sale, transfer or refinancing of the project
or the end of the loan’s 40-year term.
Because there is no long term assurance of continued Section 8 assistance, a plan has been
developed by MPHC, and approved by the bond.underwriter, to utilize the excess cash flow
produced by the project to build up special reserve funds which would be used to cover
operating losses the project would experience should HUD terminate the Section 8 program.
By using the reserve funds to cover the expected operating losses during the transition
period, the owner will be able to allow the tenants formerly assisted by Section 8 (whose
incomes are typically extremely low) to remain in place at affordable rents. The majority of
the Section 8 tenants cannot afford to pay more than $300 per month in rent. By comparison,
monthly rents for low-income households under the tax credit rules are currently $909 per
month for a one-bedroom unit. The provision of the reserve funds will allow the project to
gradually transition to occupancy by households able to afford the rents permitted by the tax
credit program through normal turnover. Once enough units have transitioned from
occupancy by former Section 8 tenants to tax credit tenants so that the project’s revenues can
cover operating expenses, replacement reserve deposits and debt service on the bond loan,
then the rent reserve requirement terminates and any remaining unused fuiads will be
disbursed to MPHC.
Altemative scenarios were analyzed to.estimate the amount of funds necessary for operating
subsidies during the transition period using assumptions about turnover rates, the estimated
final interest rate on the bond loan, operating dosts, rent paying ability of the Section 8
tenants and other variables. The rent.reserve amount required as a condition of the bond
financing will be in the range of $1.4 to $1.7 million. MPHC is still negotiating the exact
amount, but it will be set prior to closing. In order to provide additional security for the
project and the Section 8 tenants in the event of a more costly transition scenario, MPHC has
agreed to the City’s request to fund and maintain a supplemental reserve of an additional
$700,000 for a period of up to 15 years. With this additional reserve, the total rent reserves
CMR: 194:99 Page 4 of 7
come closer to a worst case figure, however, there can be no guarantee that all Section 8
tenants.will be able to continue to live at the project for as long as they choose without some
increases in rent following a termination of the Section 8 assistance program.
RESOURCE IMPACT
The total amount of the City’s two loans for the project is $1,000,000, as authorized by
Budget Amendment Ordinance No. 4551, adopted by Council on March 15, 1999. The
City’s loans will be funded on an interim basis from the following sources:
Residential Housing In-Lieu Fund
Inter fund Loan from the Commercial HoUsing In-Lieu Fund
to the Residential Fund
Total City Loans
$275,000
$725,000
$1,000,000
The decision on the permanent funding components, including the amount of CDBG funds,
will be made by Council on May 10 at the public hearing on the 1999-00 CDBG Action Plan
and budget. Any CDBG funds allocated by Council for the project will be used to reimburse
the Commercial Housing In-Lieu Fund for a portion of the $725,000 interfund loan. CDBG
funds will not actually be available to the City until after the execution of the CDBG grant
agreement with HUD, probably in late July. As discussed in CMR 172:99, staff recommends
that $658,550 in FY 1999-00 CDBG funds be allocated to the Palo Alto Gardens project.
The difference between the $725,000 interim loan from the Commercial Housing In-Lieu
Fund and the CDBG allocation for the project will be repaid from outstanding fees due to the
Residential Housing In-Lieu Fund from approved projects that will be completed during the
next year. The interfund loan is expected to be completely repaid by the end of FY 1999-00.
The total project costs for acquisition and rehabilitation are approximately $16.7 million or
about $107,200 per unit. The City loans represents about six percent of the project’s total
budget. The per Unit costs are lower than similar projects such as the Sheridan Apartments
and Arastradero Park due to such factors as the cost efficiencies that can be achieved in
larger real estate transactions, the physical condition of the buildings and the use of 60
percent of median income rents for underwriting the bond loan. The project budget and
sources of funding are shown in .summary format as Attachment A.
POLICY IMPLICATIONS
This report does not represent any change to existing City policies and implements previous
Council direction supporting the preservation of the Palo Alto Gardens Apartments through
the acquisition sponsored by MPHC.
TIMELINE
On March 10, 1999, the State awarded a bond allocation for the project. The bonds must be
issued and the purchase completed within 90 days of March 10th or the bond allocation will
CMR: 194:99 Page 5 of 7
be lost. However, under the terms of its purchase contract, MPHC must acquire the property
by May 31, 1999. The agreement with the tax credit investor also requires that MPHC
proceed with the rehabilitation immediately after acquisition. The rehabilitation work will
take approximately eight months and is planned for completion in December 1999. The
major steps with key dates are summarized below:
*Planned date to acquire property
*Start rehabilitation work
*Council decision on amount of CDBG funds for project

"MP Rent Reserve Fund") until such time as the sum of the amounts in the MP Rent Reserve
Fund and the Land Lease, Affordability and Operating Reserve Fund (collectively the "Trustee
Administered Funds") equals the Additional Reserve Requirement; (b) thereafter, in the event the
sum of the amounts in the Trustee-Administered Funds is at any time less than the Additional
Reserve Requirement, MPHC will deposit 100% of all Ground Rent Payments in the MP Rent
Reserve Fund until the sum of the amounts in the Trustee-Administered Funds has been restored
to the Additional Reserve Requirement; (c) thereafter, MPHC will deposit 100% of all Ground
Rent Payments in the City Affordability Reserve Account until such time as the amount in the City
::ODMA\PCDOCS\LOSANGELES\I41489\7 Apri! 5, 1999 9

the amount in the City Affordability Reserve Account is at any time less than the City Reserve

the City Reserve Requirement; and (e) thereafter, MPHC will use Ground Rent payments to make
payments to the City in accordance with the terms of the Note.until such time as the Note has been
paid in full.
5.2 Purposes and Uses of Reserves
The purpose of the Trustee-Administered Funds is to provide a source of funds in
the event that, as a consequence of a Termination of Section 8, the gross revenues of the Property
are not sufficient to pay the expenses of operating and maintaining the Property. The primary
purpose of the City Affordability Reserve Account is to provide a further source of operating
subsidies for the Property in the event of a Termination of Section 8, in addition to that provided
by the Trustee-Administered Funds, to allow the Partnership to maintain ti~e rents charged to
Former Section 8 Assisted Households and other Very Low-Income Households residing at the
Property at levels sufficiently low so that these households could afford to continue to live at the
Property. MPHC shall not have the right to use funds in the City Affordability Reserve Account
for any other purpose without the prior written consent of the City, which the City may grant or
deny in its sole discretion. However, upon written notification to City, MPHC may use the funds
in the City Affordability Reserve Account to pay all or part of the purchase price of the Property
in the event MPHC exercises its purchase rights under the Purchase Option.
5.3 Reserve Funds Administered by Trustee
Funds in the MP Rent Reserve Fund will be administered by Trustee, together with
the Land Lease, Affordability and Operating Reserve Fund, pursuant to the provisions of the
Indenture; provided, however, in the event of the termination of the Indenture for any reason
(including but not limited to payment in full or defeasance of the Bonds), MPHC agrees that, until
such time as the City Affordability Reserve Account is terminated in accordance with Section 5.5
below, any funds in the MP Rent Reserve Fund (a) shall be held as reserves by a financial
institution satisfactory to City, (b) shall be subject to a security interest in favor of City, and (c)
shall be used only for the purposes for which funds in the City Affordability Reserve Account may
be used, except with the prior written consent by City, which the City may grant or deny in its
sole and absolute discretion. MPHC shall execute such security agreements and other instruments
as are necessary to grant and perfect such security interest in favor of the City, including but not
limited to a security agreement and a notice of security interest in the forms attached as Exhibits
D and E (modified as appropriate to cover the MP Rent Reserve Fund and to reflect any changes
in law as deemed appropriate by City), and a financing statement on form UCC-1.
::ODMA\PCDOCS\LOSANGELES\I41489\7 April 5, 1999 I0
5.4 Maintenance of Ci.ty Affordabili .ty Reserve Account and Transfers of Funds
to Partnership
MPHC agrees that it will maintain in the City Affordability Reserve Account all
Ground Rent Payments deposited therein, together with all interest earned thereon, and MPHC
will not withdraw any funds from the City Affordability Reserve Account except for uses as
expressly permitted herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, MPHC may withdraw interest
earnings from time to time, provided that the balance in the City Affordability Reserve Account
is at no time reduced to less than the City Reserve Requirement. In the event of a Termination
of Section 8, after the Trustee-Administered Funds have been fully disbursed, and/or to the extent
the funds disbursed by the Trustee from the Trustee-Administered Funds are not sufficient, MPHC
will make payments to the Partnership from the City Affordability Reserve Account in the amounts
necessary to fund the operating losses of the Property in order to permit the Former Section 8
Assisted Households and other Very Low-Income Households to continue to live at the Property.
MPHC will make such payments from the City Affordability Reserve Account (to the extent of
funds in the City Affordability Reserve Account) until the Property is generating gross revenue
(including any Section 8 Assistance payments) sufficient to pay the expenses of operating the
Property (including debt service and other required expenses identified in the Indenture).
5.5 Termination of City Reserve Requirement and City Affordability
Reserve Account
Upon close of escrow for acquisition of the Property in the event of MPHC’s
exercise of its option to purchase or its right of first refusal pursuant to the Purchase Option, or
the expiration of the Purchase Option, whichever occurs first, the City Reserve Requirement will
terminate; provided, however, the City Reserve Requirement will in no event terminate before
December 13, 2013. To the extent that there are funds remaining in the City Affordability
Reserve Fund, MPHC will pay to the City for application first to accrued, unpaid interest under
the Note, and then to reduction of principal under the Note, an amount equal to the sum of
$95,000 plus 50 % of the amount by which the amount in the City Affordability Reserve Account
is greater than $95 ~000, and all funds remaining after such payment to the City shall be disbursed
to MPHC; provided, however, if the Note has been paid in full then the City Affordability Reserve
Account will be closed and the balance in the City Affordability Reserve Account shall be
disbursed to MPHC.
5.6 Reporting Requirements
Within one hundred twenty (120) days after the conclusion of each calendar year
(and within ten (10) days after request by City at any other time, from time to time), MPHC will
provide to City copies of records of all deposits and withdrawals from the City Affordability
Reserve Account. If requested by the City, MPHC will cause each Account Institution to provide
the City with duplicate copies of monthly or other periodic statements sent to MPHC; MPHC
acknowledges and agrees that each Account Institution shall hold the funds in the City
A:\I41489.WPD April 5, 1999
Affordability Reserve Account as a bailee for the City, and agrees to cause the Account Institution
to execute any additional documents deemed necessary by the City to perfect the security interest
of the City in the funds in the City Affordability Reserve Account, including but not limited to
notice pursuant to Section 9302(1)(g)(ii) of the California Commercial Code. Without the limiting
the generality of anything contained in Section 4.2 hereof, MPHC shall permit access to its books,
records and accounts during normal business hours upon reasonable notice to representatives and
employees of the City and HUD for the purpose of evaluating and monitoring MPHC’s
compliance with the provisions of this Section 5.6.

(RESIDENTIAL HOUSING IN-LIEU FUNDS/

DEED OF TRUST AND ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS, AND
ASSIGNMENT OF CITY AFFORDABILITY RESERVE ACCOUNT
$ 900,000.00 Date:
Palo Alto, California
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, MID-PENINSULA HOUSING
COALITION, a California non-profit public benefit corporation ("Maker"), hereby promises to
pay to the CITY OF PALO ALTO ("Holder"), or order, at its Office of Revenue Collections, 250
Hamilton Avenue, Palo Alto, California, or at such other place as may be designated, in writing,
by the Holder, the principal sum of Nine Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($900,000.00)
("Loan Amount"), pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this Promissory Note
("Note"). The principal amount of this Note shall bear simple interest at the rate of three percent
(3 %) per annum (the "Applicable Interest Rate").
ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
1. This Note is made in connection with the agreement between Holder and Maker
entitled "Agreement between the City of Palo Alto and Mid-Peninsula Housing Coalition to Lend
Funds for the Acquisition of Land at 648 San Antonio Road" ("Loan Agreement"), pursuant to
which Holder issued to Maker a portion of the funds used by Maker to acquire certain land (but
not the improvements thereon) commonly known as 648 San Antonio Road, Palo Alto, California
(the "Land"). Immediately following such acquisition, Maker will lease the Land to MP Palo Alto
Gardens Associates, a California Limited Partnership of which MV Central Park Apartments,
Inc., a California corporation affiliated with and controlled by Maker, is the general partner (the
"Partnership") pursuant to a ground lease (the "Ground Lease"), and the Partnership will acquire,
rehabilitate and operate on the Land a residential apartment project containing 155 affordable
dwelling units and one manager’s unit (the "Project"). All terms, conditions, agreements and
provisions, including the covenants, representations, and terms of default and remedies for default
set forth in the Loan Agreement are incorporated herein by reference, and made a part hereof.
2. This Note evidences the obligation of the Maker to make full payment of the Loan
Amount to the Holder, in accordance with the provisions of this Note and the Loan Agreement.
Such funds are to be used solely by the Maker, together with funds obtained by Maker from other
sources, to provide funding for the acquisition of the Land by Maker, as more fully described in
the Loan Agreement.
::ODMA\PCDOCS\LOSANGELES\I41489\7 April 5, 1999
3. This Note is secured by (a) a Deed of Trust and Assignment of Rents recorded
against the Land (the "Deed Of Trust"), and (b) a security interest in the City Affordability Reserve
Account that Maker is obligated to fund and maintain, as more particularly described in the Loan
Agreement (the "City Affordability Reserve Account"), as set forth in the Security Agreement
between Holder and Maker of even date herewith (the "Security Agreement").
4. The term of this Note shall commence on the date set forth above, and, subject to
the provisions of the Loan Agreement, shall expire or terminate on the date on which the Maker
makes full payment of the principal sum of this Note. In no event shall full payment be made by
the Maker later than forty (40) years from the date hereof.
5. Maker shall make a payment to Holder in the amount of the Annual Payment
Amount (as defined below) on April 30 of each year (each April 30 being a "Payment Date") until
such time as the entire amount of principal and interest hereunder has been paid in full. The
Annual Payment Amount due on any Payment Date shall be based upon the amount of ground rent
received by Maker under the Ground Lease for the last calendar year preceding the Payment Date
(the "Measuring Year"), which is in turn based upon the amount of available surplus cash and the
debt service coverage achieved by the Partnership for the Measuring Year. If the amount of
ground rent received by Maker for a Measuring Year (provided that the Partnership was not in
default by reason of nonpayment or underpayment of ground rent for such calendar year) is
$95,000 or less, the Annual Payment Amount due on the following Payment Date will be equal
to the total amount of ground rent received by Maker in respect of the Measuring Year; if the
amount of ground rent received by Maker for a Measuring Year is greater than $95,000 (provided
that the Partnership was not in default of its obligation to pay ground rent for such calendar year),
the Annual Payment Amount will equal the sum of (a) $95,000 plus (b) 50% of the amount by
which ground rent received by Maker for the Measuring Year exceeds $95,000. By way of
example only, and not in limitation of the foregoing, if Partnership is obligated to pay and Maker
receives ground rent for the year 2002 in the amount of $275,000, the Annual Payment Amount
payable on April 30, 2003 will equal $185,000 ($95,000 plus 50% of $180,000). Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in the event the Partnership is in default of its obligation to pay ground rent for any
Measuring Year, the Annual Payment Amount will be based upon the total amount of the ground
rent due for such Measuring Year, whether paid or unpaid in whole or in part, as if received in
full by Maker. Notwithstanding anything in this Paragraph 5 to the contrary. Maker’s obligation
to make payments of principal and interest to Holder shall be deferred until April 30 of the year
following the calendar year during which the sum of the amounts in the MP Rent Reserve Fund,
the Land Lease, Affordability and Operating Reserve Fund, and the City Affordability Reserve
Account first equals the sum of the Additional Reserve Requirement and the City Reserve
Requirement (as those terms are used in the Loan Agreement). Upon termination of the City
Affordability Reserve Account, there will be immediately due and payable to Holder payment in
the amount set forth in Section 5.5 of the Loan Agreement. Payments shall be credited first to any
accrued but unpaid interest, then to current interest then due and owing, and then to principal.
6. The Maker shall deliver to the Holder within 150 days. of the close of each calendar
year an annual audited financial statement. The Holder shall have the right during normal business
hours upon reasonable notice to inspect and audit the Maker’s books and records concerning the
A:\I41489.WPD April 5, 1999 2
obligation of the Partnership to pay ground rent under the Ground Lease. In the event any
financial statement, or any inspection or audit of the Partnership’s books and records, discloses
an underpayment of principal and/or interest hereunder, the amount underpaid will be due and
payable within fifteen (15) days after demand therefor by the Holder.
7. At any time, and from time to time, the Maker may prepay to the Holder the
principal sum of this Note, or any part thereof, without penalty.
8. The Maker and any other maker, co-maker, indorser, guarantor, and any other
party to this Note (collectively, "Obligors"), and each of them: (i) waive notice of default (except
as provided in Section 12), notice of acceleration, notice of nonpayment, presentment for
payment, demand, protest, notice of demand, notice of protest, notice of nonpayment, and any
other notice required to be given under the law to the Obligors; (ii) consent(s) to ~tny and all
delays, extensions, renewals, or other modifications of this Note or waivers of any term hereof
or release or discharge by the Holder of any of the Obligors or release, substitution, or failure to
act by the Holder, from time to time, and agree(s) that no such action, failure to act, or failure
to exercise any right or remedy on the part of the Holder shall in any manner affect or impair the
obligations of any Obligor or be construed as a waiver by the Holder of, or otherwise affect, any
of the Holder’s rights under this Note or the Loan Agreement, under any indorsement or guaranty
of this Note; and (iii) (jointly and individually, if more than one) agree(s) to pay, on demand, any
and all costs and expenses of collection of this Note or of any indorsement or any guaranty hereof,
including attorney’s fees.
No extension of time for payment of this Note or any portion thereof made by
agreement of Holder with any person now or hereafter liable for the payment of this Note shall
operate to release or discharge liability of Maker under this Note, either in whole or in part.
9. The pleading of any statute of limitations as a defense to any demand against the
Maker is expressly waived by the Maker.
10. If any default is made hereunder, the Maker promises to pay the Holder’s
reasonable attorneys’ fees and other related costs and expenses incurred by the Holder in
connection with the enforcement of any rights of the Holder. The Holder’s right to such fees shall
include, but not be limited to, its representation by staff attorneys of the Holder’s Office of the
City Attorney, and such representation shall be valued at the customary and reasonable rates for
private sector legal services.
11. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an event of default under
this Note: (i) the Maker fails to pay any amount due hereunder within fifteen (15) days of its due
date; or (ii) any other default by the Maker under this Note, or under the Deed of Trust, the
Security Agreement, or the Loan Agreement after the expiration of any applicable cure period.
Upon the occurrence of any event of default, or at any time thereafter, at the option
of the Holder hereof, the entire unpaid principal and interest owing on this Note shall become
immediately due and payable. This option may be exercised at any time following any such event,
and the acceptance of one or more installments thereafter shall not constitute a waiver of such
::ODMA\PCDOCS\LOSANGELES\I41489\7 April 5, 1999 3
option with respect to any subsequent event. The Holder’s failure in the exercise of any other right
or remedy hereunder or under any agreement which secures the indebtedness or is related thereto
shall not affect any right or remedy and no single or partial exercise of any such right to remedy
shall preclude any further exercise thereof.
If the outstanding unpaid principal balance of this Note is not paid within thirty (30)
days of demand therefor, the Maker shall pay to the Holder in addition to interest at the
Applicable Interest Rate,, interest equal to one percent (1%) of the unpaid principal amount, or the
highest rate permitted by law, whichever is less, per calendar month, or fraction thereof. If this
Note be reduced to judgment, such judgment shall bear the statutory interest rate on judgments.
12. The Holder shall not exercise any right or remedy provided for herein because of
any default of the Maker unless, in the event of a monetary default, the Maker shall have failed
to pay the outstanding sums within a period of thirty (30) calendar days after notice that payment
was due. In the event of an uncured nonmonetary default, the Holder shall have first given written
notice thereof to the Maker, and the Maker shall have failed to cure the nonmonetary default
within a period of thirty (30) days after the giving of such notice of such default; provided that
if the nonmonetary default cannot be cured within thirty (30) days and the Maker proceeds
diligently and uses best efforts to cure such default until it shall be fully cured within no more than
ninety (90) days after the giving of such notice, then the Holder shall not exercise any right or
remedy provided for herein until such 90-day period shall expire; provided, however, the Holder
shall not be required to give any such notice or allow any part of the grace period if the Maker
shall have filed a petition in bankruptcy or for reorganization or a bill in equity or otherwise
initiated proceedings for the appointment of a receiver of its assets, or if the Maker shall have
made an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or if a receiver or trustee is appointed for the
Maker and such appointment or such receivership is not terminated within forty-five (45) days of
such appointment.
With respect to any right to cure or cure period provided in this Section 12,
performance of a cure by any affiliated entity or partner of the Maker shall have the same effect
as would like performance by the Maker.
13. Any notice, demand, or other communication required hereunder shall not be
deemed sufficiently given, unless sent by certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested,
or by.express delivery service or overnight courier service, to the principal office of the addressee,
or at such other address as may be designated, in writing, from time to time:

14. This Note shall be nonrecourse against the Obligors. No judgment, or execution
thereof, entered in any action, legal or equitable, on this Note shall be enforced directly against
the Maker or any officer, director or employee of the Maker, but shall be enforced only against
the collateral described in the Deed of Trust and the Security Agreement, and such other or further
security as, from time to time, may be hypothecated for this Note. The foregoing limitation shall
not be applicable in the event of (a)~fraud by the Maker or any material misrepresentation made

Agreement, or any other document or instrument delivered in connection with the Loan, or (b)
the sale or transfer or other conveyance or encumbrance of the Land, or any interest therein,

other misappropriation by Maker of any funds from the City Affordability Reserve Account. The

person holding under or through them as parties to any actions, suit or other proceedings initiated
by the Holder to foreclose or otherwise realize upon any other lien or security interest created
under the Security Agreement, and further provided, however, that nothing in this Section 14 shall
be deemed to prejudice the rights of the Holder to recover any funds or payments which were
diverted or misappropriated by the Obligors, or any of them.
15. The covenants, agreements, terms, and conditions of this Note shall inure to, and
shall be binding on, the successors and assigns of the Obligors.

therein, at the option of Beneficiary hereof and without demand or notice shall immediately
become due and payable.

agrees that all of its rights and powers under this Deed of Trust are subordinate and subject to the
2
rights of ABAG Finance Authority for Nonprofit Corporations under that certain Deed of Trust
dated as of April 1, 1999 (the "Bond Deed of Trust"). Any default under the Bond Deed of Trust,
or under any promissory note or other instrument secured thereby, shall constitute a default
hereunder.

SECURITY AGREEMENT
THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT ("Agreement"), is made and entered into as of
the day of April m, 1999 by MID-PENINSULA HOUSING COALITION, a California
nonprofit public benefit corporation ("Borrower"), for the benefit of THE CITY OF PALO ALTO
("Lender") with reference to the following facts:
A. Borrower and Lender are the parties to an agreement of even date herewith entitled
"Agreement Between the City of Palo Alto and Mid-Peninsula Housing Coalition to Lend Funds
for the Acquisition of the Land at 648 San Antonio Road" (the "Loan Agreement");
B. As more particularly described in the Loan Agreement, Lender will lend to
Borrower $900,000, the obligation to repay which is evidenced by a promissory note made by
Borrower in principal amount of $900,000 of even date herewith (the "Note");
C. Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, Borrower has agreed to establish one or more
segregated bank accounts with Citibank, N.A. ("Account Institution"), or with such other financial
institutions as may be approved by Lender, and to deposit in such account or accounts funds to
be used for the purpose of subsidizing rents of tenants of the Property in certain circumstances
more particularly described in the Loan Agreement (collectively, the "Affordability Reserve
Account");
D. Borrower hereby intends to grant to Lender a first priority security interest in the
Affordability Reserve Account to secure Borrower’s obligations to Lender under the Note and the
Loan Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, to induce the Lender to make the loan to Borrower as
contemplated under the Loan Agreement, and in consideration for the making of such loan, and
for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1. As used herein the term "Pledged Collateral" shall mean all right, title and
interest of Borrower in and to the Affordability Reserve Account.
2.(a) As collateral security for the due payment and performance of all
indebtedness and other liabilities and obligations, whether now existing or hereafter arising, of
Borrower to Lender under or arising out of (i) this Agreement, and all instruments, agreements
and documents, executed, issued and delivered pursuant to this Agreement, or (ii) the Note,
including principal and interest thereon, or (iii) any subsequent promissory note by Borrower in
favor of Lender that states that it is secured by the Pledged Collateral, or (iv) the Loan
Agreement, and all instruments, agreements and documents, executed, issued and delivered
pursuant thereto (all such indebtedness, liabilities and obligations described in (i), (ii), (iii) and
(iv) above are hereinafter referred to collectively as the "Obligations"), Borrower hereby pledges
and grants to Lender a first priority security interest in the Pledged Collateral.
(b) All Pledged Collateral at any time delivered to the Lender shall be
held by the Lender subject to the terms, covenants and conditions herein set forth. Neither the
Lender, nor any member, manager, officer or employee of the Lender, shall be liable for any
action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them relative to any of the Pledged Collateral except
for its or their own gro.ss negligence or willful misconduct, and the Lender shall not be liable for
any action or omission to act on the part of any agent appointed and selected by the Lender with
reasonable care to act with respect to the Pledged Collateral (or any part thereof). The Lender
shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Pledged
Collateral if the Lender shall take such action for such purpose as Borrower may reasonably
request in writing to the Lender, provided that the failure of the Lender to take any action
requested by Borrower shall not, in and of itself, be deemed to constitute a failure on the part of
the Lender to exercise reasonable care in respect of the custody and preservation of such Pledged
Collateral or any part thereof.
(c) As used herein, an "Event of Default" shall mean a default by
Borrower in any of its Obligations (after any notice and/or opportunity to cure as may be provided
in the agreement or other instrument giving rise to such Obligation); provided, however, that each
of the following shall constitute a non-curable Event of Default hereunder: (i) the failure of
Borrower to deposit funds in the Affordability Reserve Account as required by the Loan
Agreement, or (ii) the use of funds in the Affordability Reserve Account for any purpose except
as expressly permitted by the Loan Agreement.
(d) . In the event any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the
Lender shall have the right to require that any cash payable with respect to the Pledged Collateral
be paid to the Lender, and applied as set forth in Paragraph 2(f) below; otherwise such payments
may be received and retained by the Borrower.
(e) In the event any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the
Lender, without demand of performance or other demand, advertisement or notice of any kind
(except the notice specified below of time and place of public or private sale, and the notice of
repossession referred to below) to or upon any Borrower or any other person (all and each of
which demands, advertisements and/or notices are, to the extent permitted by law, hereby
expressly waived), may forthwith collect the Pledged Collateral not then in the possession of the
Lender and sell the Pledged Collateral at public or private sale, at any exchange, broker’s board
or at any of the Lender’s offices or elsewhere at such prices and on such terms as it or they may
deem best, for cash or credit, with right to the Lender or any purchaser upon any such sale,
whether public or private, to purchase, to the extent permitted by law, the Pledged Collateral so
sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in the Borrower, which right or equity is hereby
expressly waived and released to the extent permitted by law, and the Lender may be a purchaser
-2-
in such sale and the Lender (in its sole discretion) may apply the full unpaid principal amount of
any of the Obligations against the purchase thereof.
(f) The proceeds of any sale as aforesaid shall be applied in the order
of priority indicated as follows:
First, to the payment of all reasonable costs and expenses, fees,
commissions and taxes at any time and from time to time incurred by the Lender under or in
connection with the administration or enforcement of this Agreement, the Loan Agreement, or the
Note (including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Lender in
connection therewith);
Second, to the payment of all interest at any time and from time to time
owing by the Borrower under the Note;
Third, to the payment of principal at any time and from time to time owing
by the Borrower under the Note;
Fourth, to the payment of (except such Obligations which shall have been
paid pursuant to items First, Second and Third above) all other indebtedness and liabilities,
whether absolute, fixed or contingent, at any time and from time to time owing by the Borrower
under or in connection with the Note or any other obligation of Borrower to Lender, including,
without limitation, all amounts at any time and from time to time owing by the Borrower to the
Lender on account of fees, costs, commissions, expenses and taxes (including the actual fees and
expenses of counsel);

Fifth, to the Borrower to the extent of any surplus proceeds ("Surplus
(g) Unless otherwise required’by law, the Lender need not give more
than ten (10) days" notice of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which a
private sale may take place and such notice shall be deemed to be reasonable notification of such
matters.
3.(a) Borrower represents and warrants that:
(i) This Agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed and
delivered by Borrower and, to the best knowledge of Borrower, constitutes the
legal, valid and binding obligation of Borrower enforceable against Borrower in
accordance with its terms except as enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency and other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights
generally and by moratorium laws from time to time in effect and general equitable
principles, whether applied by a court of equity or law;
-3-
(ii) Borrower is the direct beneficial owner of the Pledged Collateral
hereby pledged;
(iii) Borrower owns such Pledged Collateral free and clear of any pledge,
mortgage, hypothecation, lien, charge, encumbrance or any security interest
therein, except for the pledge and security interest granted to the Lender hereunder;
(iv) This Agreement constitutes, creates and grants a valid first priority
security interest in the Pledged Collateral hereby pledged by Borrower, subject to
no prior security interest, lien, charge or encumbrance or to any agreement
purporting to grant to any third party a security interest in the property or assets
of such Borrower which would include the Pledged Collateral;
(v) The pledge of the Pledged Collateral hereby pledged by Borrower
does not violate any restriction on such transfer or encumbrance of such Pledged
Collateral; and
(vi) Borrower’s name and principal place of business are as indicated on
the signature page hereof. Borrower shall notify Lender in writing of any change
in its name or principal place of business not later than thirty days after the
occurrence of any such change.

outstanding and unpaid, in whole or in part, Borrower will not, without the prior written consent
of the Lender, sell, convey or otherwise dispose (hereinafter, a "Transfer") of the Pledged
Collateral or any interest therein, or create, incur or permit to exist any pledge, mortgage, lien,
charge, encumbrance or any security interest whatsoever with respect to the Pledged Collateral
other than that created hereby.

Account, and covenants that it will not withdraw or transfer any funds from that account except
in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Agreement, or establish any other Affordability

notice in writing being given to the organization with whom any Affordabilii~y Reserve Account
is maintained in accordance with Section 9302(1)(g)(ii) of the California Commercial Code and/or
any other actions required in order to perfect Lender’s security interest therein.

maintained and/or taking any other action required for the purpose of perfecting the security
interest of Lender in the Affordability Reserve Account, and Borrower agrees to execute and file

officer or agent of the Lender, with full power of substitution, as Borrower’s attorney-in-fact, with
power, in its own name or in the name of Borrower, upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default (but only after the Lender shall have delivered an Election
Notice to such Borrower), to exercise all rights related to the Pledged Collateral, and generally
to do (to the extent so permitted), at the Lender’s option, at any time or from time to time, all acts
anal things which the Lender deems necessary to protect, preserve and realize upon the Pledged
Collateral and the Lender’s security interest therein to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as
fully and effectually as Borrower might or could do; and Borrower hereby ratifies all that said

be outstanding.

expressly set forth in this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement expressed or implied is intended
to or shall be so construed as to impose upon the Len~der any obligations in respect of this
Agreement except as expressly set forth herein.

by Borrower, nor shall the Lender be required to make any inquiry concerning either the
performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement or the
existence or possible existence of any Event of Default. ,

statement, certificate, order or other document or any telephone message believed by it to be

selected by it.

granted hereunder irrespective of (i) the absence of any attempt to pursue or enforce any other
rights or remedies available to Lender, (ii) the waiver or consent by the Lender with respect to
any provision of any instrument evidencing any of the Obligations, or any part thereof, or any
other agreement now or hereafter executed by the Borrower and delivered to the Lender, except
to the extent that as a result of such waiver or consent, no Event of Default exists that allows
Lender to take action hereunder, (iii) failure by the Lender to take any steps to perfect and
-5-
maintain its security interest in, or to preserve its rights to, any security or collateral for the
Obligations, (iv) the Lender’s election, in any proceeding instituted under Chapter 11 of Title 11

disallowance, under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code, of all or any portion of Lender’s
claim(s) for repayment of the Obligations, or (vii) any other circumstance which might otherwise

Agreement, the Note and in all other related documents, are cumulative and are in addition to,
and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies provided by law including, without limitation, the
rights and remedies of a secured party under the California Commercial Code.

Lender, and at the cost and expense of Borrower.

of the Holder’s rights under this Note or the Loan Agreement, under any indorsement or guaranty
of this Note; and (iii) (jointly and individually, if more than one) agree(s) to pay, on demand, any

release or discharge liability of Maker under this Note, either in whole or in part.
7. The pleading of any statute of limitations as a defense to any demand against the
Maker is expressly waived by the Maker.
8. If any default is made hereunder, the Maker promises to pay the Holder’s
reasonable attorneys’ fees and other related costs and expenses incurred by the Holder in
connection with the enforcement of any rights of the Holder. The Holder’s right to such fees shall

related thereto shall not affect any right or remedy and no single or partial exercise of any such
right to remedy shall preclude any further exercise thereof.

notice thereof to the Maker, and the Maker shall have failed to cure the nonmonetary default
within a period of thirty (30) days after the giving of such notice of such default; provided that if
the nonmonetary default cannot be cured within thirty (30) days and the Maker proceeds
diligently and uses best efforts to cure such default until it shall be fully cured within no more than

initiated proceedings for the appointment of a receiver of its assets, or if the Maker shall have
made an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or if a receiver or trustee is appointed for the
Maker and such appointment or such receivership is not terminated within forty-five (45) days of
such appointment.
With regpect to any right to cure or cure period provided in this Section I0,
performance of a cure by any affiliated entity or partner of the Maker shall have the same effect as

seek the longest HAP Contract term available and shall seek such contract assistance for all
eligible Units. In the event that any such HAP Contract is obtained and then later terminated by
HUD for all, or a portion of, the Units, Owner shall continue to rent to all Tenants residing in the
affected Units under the terms of any replacement or successor rental assistance program provided
by HUD or the Housing Authority to the Tenants.
3.9 Preference for Occupancy of Units to Holders of Tenant-Based Section 8
Vouchers or Certificat.~
3.9.1 MPPAG’s compliance with the provision of this Section 3.9 throughout the
term of this Regulatory Agreement is of particular importance to City and is one of the principal
reasons for which City agreed to make th(~ Improvements Loan to MPPAG; provided, however,
the foregoing is not intended to derogate the importance of MPPAG’s compliance with the other
provisions of this Regulatory Agreement.
3.9.2 Owner shall notify the Housing Authority in writing of vacancies of Units
that are not subject to any HAP Contract promptly from time to time upon Owner’s receipt from
a Tenant of a notice to vacate a Unit, or upon Owner’s actual knowledge of vacation of a Unit by
a Tenant if no notice has been given by the Tenant. Owner shall give preference for occupancy
of vacated Units to Section 8 Assisted Households for a period of 30 days from the date on which
written notice of the vacancy is received by the Housing Authority. Owner shall cooperate with
the Housing Authority in permitting inspections of the Units and in allowirtg a reasonable amount
of time for Section 8 Assisted Households to execute rental agreements and to occupy the Units,
If no Section 8 Assisted Houseltold meeting the Owner’s tenant selection criteria is available to
rent a vacated Unit within the 30-day period, then Owner may offer rental of the Unit to a Very
Low or Low-Income Household pursuant to Article 2.1.1 or 2.1.2 above.
3.9.3 Notwithstanding the 30-day preference for holders of Section 8 Assistance,
in no case shall Owner be required to keep a Unit vacant without receipt of rent revenue for more
than twenty-one (2I) days after its vacation by the prior Tenant, provided that Owner has given
::ODMA \PCDOCSkLOSANGELES~,I4306~7
~idley ~ AUstin 4/7188 2:32: PAGE 005114
written notice to the Housing Authority of the vacancy of a Unit within fivc calendar days after
receipt from a Tenant of notice to vacate a Unit, or Owner’s actual knowledge of vacation of a
Unit, whichever occurred first, and has otherwise cooperated with the Housing Authority in
permitting inspection of the Unit.
3.9.4 Owner may, at any time during the term of this Regulatory Agreement, as
an alternative to offering vacated Units to Section 8 Assisted Households as described in Section
3.9.2, rent any Unit to a Very Low-Income Household whose annual income, as certified
according to Section 4.1 itnmediately prior to such Tenant’s initial occupancy, does not exceed
40% of the Median Income and which is otherwise a qualified Tenant under the Tax Credit
Regulations; provided, however, the monthly Rent charged to any such Tenant shall not exceed
the amount of Rent allowed for 40% of Median Income units under the Tax Credit Regulations,
as published annually for Santa Clara County, based on the size of the Tenant’s Unit.
3.9.5 If during the term of the Indenture, the Property’s proposed annual budget
for any fiscal year demonstrates, based on the Property’s then current occupancy and the
Property’s actual average annual turnover rate, that renting all Units expected to become available
during the coming fiscal year to Section 8 Assisted Households could reasonably be expected to
cause Project Revenues to fail to be sufficient to achieve a 1.40 debt coverage ratio, as such term
is calculated in the Indenture, Owner shall have the right to suspend compliance with subsection
3.9.2 during the fiscal year in question, but only to the extent necessary to permit Projects
Revenues to be sufficient to achieve a 1.40 debt coverage ratio. Owner shall promptly notify City
in writing of its determination that it has the right to suspend compliance with subsection 3.9.2.
Owner shall provide with its notification to City a copy of the Property’s adopted budget and the
calculation described herein together with a certification that the suspension of subsection 3.9.2
was reasonably necessary to permit the Property to achieve a 1.40 debt coverage ratio. The right
of Owner to suspend compliance with subsection 3.9.2 and 3.9.3 naust be established separately
for each fiscal year.
3, 10 Selection Criteria for Applicants for Tenancy
Owner will accept Section 8 Assisted Households as Tenants on the same basis as
all other prospective tenants. Owner shall not apply selection criteria to Section 8 Assisted
Households that are more burdensome than criteria applied to all other prospective tenants, nor
shall Owner apply or permit the application of management policies or lease provisions that have
the effect of precluding occupancy of Units by Section 8 Assisted Households.
ARTICLE 4 - INCOME CERTIFICATION AND REPORTING
4.1 Income certification
Owner will obtain, complete and maintain on file, immediately prior to initial
occupancy and annually thereafter, an income certification from each Tenant renting any of the
::ODMA\PCDOCS\LOSANGELES\l,~3065\7
Very Low-Income and Low-Income Units, Owner shall make a good faith effort to verify that
the income provided by an applicant, or occupying household, in an income certification is
accurate in accordance with the Tax Credit Regulations. Copies of tenant income certifications
shall be made available to the Cfly, including its designated representatives, and HUD upon
request.
4.2 Reporting and provision of informati6n
Owner will submit reports in a format and at a time specified by the City. The
reports will contain such information as the City or HUD may then require to document
compliance with the use and occupancy restrictions and other requirements of this Regulatory
Agreement. The City, including its designated representatives, and HUD shall have the right to
examine and make copies of all books, records or other documents of Owner which pertain to the
Property or any Unit and Owner shall provide any information reasonably requested. Owner shall
deliver to the City copies of all reports submitted to the California Tax Credit Allocation
Committee and the Internal Revenue Service, as may be requested by the City.
4.3 Records
Owner shall nuaimain complete, accurate and current records pertaining to the
Property and the Units, and shall permit any duly authorized representative of the City or HUD
to inspect records, including records pertaining to incomes and household sizes of Tenants’
households, and the rents and other charges for occupancy of the Units during business hours,
All Tenants fists, applications and waiting lists relating to the Property shall at all times be kept
separate and identifiable from any other business of Owner and shall be maintained as required
by the City, in a reasonable condition for proper audit and subject to examination by
representatives of the City or HUD.
4.4 Financial Audits
Owner shall provide City, during the term of this Regulatory Agreement, with
copies of audited financial statements of Owner, including any management letter comments on
the adequacy of internal or operational controls, within one hundred fifty (150) days of the close
of each fiscal year of the Property. The audit covering the fiscal year in which the proceeds of
the Improvements Loan are disbursed to the Owner shall be conducted in accordance with OMB
Circular A-133, as amended (implemented at 24 CFR Part 45). City reserves the right, during
the term of this Regulatory Agreement, to audit the records, including the financial records
supporting the aforementioned financial statements, and other records and documents pertaining
to the operations of the Property.

exercise of an option or right of first refusal to acquire the Improvements by the general partner
of MPPAG, or by MPHC, or by art affiliate of either of them, Owner shall not cause or permit
any voluntary transfer, assignment or encumbrance of its interest in the Improvements or lease or
permit a sublease of all or any part of the Improvements without first obtaining the City’s written
consent. Any transfer, assignment, encumbrance, or lease without the City’s written consent’shall
he voidable and, at the City’s election, shall constitute a breach of this Regulatory Agreement.
No consent to any assignment, encumbrance or lease shall constitute a consent to any subsequent
assignment, encumbrance or lease, or a waiver of any of the City’s rights under this Regulatory
Agreement.
ARTICLE 5: RENT RESERVE FUNDI TERMINATION OF SECTION8
5.1 Rent Reserve Fund
Pursuant to the Indenture and the Bond Loan Agreement, Trustee will establish and
administer a Rent Reserve Fund, the funds contained in which will be made available to Owner
from time to time in the event of a Termination of Section 8 as more particularly described in the
Indenture and the Bond Loan Agreement. The Rent Reserve Fund consists of a "Land Lease,
Affordability and Operating Reserve Fund" funded by MPPAG from excess cash flow from the
Project, and the "MP Rent Reserve" funded by MPHC from Ground Lease rent payments received
by MPHC. MPPAG will deposit and apply the gross revenues from the Property strictly in
accordance with Section 3.04 of the Bond Loan Agreement, including but not limited to clause
Fourth thereof, which provides for MPPAG to make payments from time to time to the Trustee,
for deposit by Trustee in the Land Lease, Affordability and Operating Reserve Fund. Until such
time as the aggregate amount in the Rent Reserve Fund is equal to or greater than the Additional
Reserve Requirement, the limited partner of MPPAG has guaranteed the payment of any
difference between the amount in the Rent Reserve Fund and the amount of the Additional Reserve
Requirement pursuant to a Standby Funding Agreement.
5.2 Condition of Improvements Loan
City has provided the Improvements Loan to MPPAG in reliance on the protections
provided to Section 8 Assisted Households and other Very Low-Income Households residing at
the Property in the event of a Termination of Section 8 as set forth in this Article 5. Furthermore,
City has agreed to allow MPPAG to defer repayment of the Improyements Loan in order to allow
the Rent Reserve Fund to be funded by the earliest possible date. The provisions in the Indenture
regarding the Rent Reserve Fund, the Additional Reserve Requirement and the Standby Funding
Agreement are to be considered conditions and covenants of this Regulatory Agreement as if set
forth in full herein. Although this Regulatory Agreement is entered into in connection with the
making of the Improvements Loan, the obligations and agreements of MPPAG under this
Regulatory Agreement (including those provisions of the Indenture and the Bond Loan Agreement
incorporated herein) will survive the repayment of the Improvements Loan, whether at maturity
or sooner.
::ODMAWCDOCS~LOSANGELES\143065\7
5.3 C[.ty Affordability. Reserve Fu, nd.
In addition to its obligation to contribute to the MP Rent Reserve as described in
Section 5.11 MPHC has agreed to fund a separate supplemental affordability reserve fund, to be
held by a financial institution satisfactory to City, for the benefit of City (the "City Affordability
Reserve Fund").
5.4 Additional Agreelnents of Owner Following a Termination of Sectior~ 8
In the event of a Termination of Section 8, Owner shall use funds made available
to it from the Rent Reserve Fund and/or the City Affordability Reserve to supplement Project
Revenues in order to permit Former Section 8 Households and other Very Low-Income
Households then residing at the Property to continue to reside at the Property for so long as each
Tenant continues to qualify as a Very
Section 8, Owner shah set Rents for all
lowest possible amount consistent with
the City Affordability Reserve, and (b)
and debt service on the Bond Loan. To
Low-Income Household. Following a Termination of
Units occupied by Very Low-Income Households at the
(a) the funds available from the Rent Reserve Fund and
the amount of Project Revenues and operating expenses
the extent possible, Very Low Income Households shall
pay as Rent not more than the greater of the Rent paid by the Tenant immediately prior to the
Termination of Section 8, or 30% of the Tenant’s monthly household income as certified
according to Section 4.1. Following the end of the first calendar year of Owner during which a
Termination of Section 8 occurred, and following the end of each calendar year thereafter, after
receipt of the financial audit for the Project, Owner will provide to City a copy of the financial
audit for the Project for the most recently completed calendar year and a certified rent roll tor the
Project as of December 31 of the most recent calendar year. In the event (a) the sum of Project
Revenues for the calendar year just ended, plus the Projected Reserve Distribution for the then-
present calendar year, is less than (b) the sum of the Expenses for Operating and Maintaining the
Project (as that term is defined in Section 3.04 of the Bond Loan Agreement, including reserves
for replacement) for the calendar year just ended, plus the debt service expense of the Bonds for
the then-present calendar year, then Owner will have the right to increase Rents for Very Low-
Income Households by an amount not to exceed the amount that, when added to Project Revenues
for the calendar year just ended, would cause sum (a) to equal sum (b); provided, however, in no
event shall Owner increase the Rent charged for any Unit to an amount greater than permitted
under Article 2 hereof. In no event will Owner terminate the tenancy of any Former Section 8
Household or other Very Low-Income Household in order to rent the Unit to a higher income
household; however the Owner may offer such tenants the opportunity to move to other properties
owned or managed by MPHC or its affdiates. Following a Termination of Section 8, Owner shall
offer vacated Units to qualified households pursuant to the provisions of Article 2 hereof.
5.5 MPPAG’s compliance with the provision of this Article 5 is of particular
importance to City and is one of the principal reasons for which City agreed to make the
Improvements Loan to MPPAG; provided, however, the foregoing is not intended to derogate the
importance of MPPAG’s compliance with the other provisions of this Regulatory Agreement.

PROJECTED RESERVE DISTRIBUTION METHODOLOGY
Pursuam to the Indenture, there are also established (i)the Land Lease, Affordabili~0 and
Operating Reserve Fund, (it) the Rent Reserve Fund and (iii) the MP Rent Reserve Fund (collectively,
the "Additional Reserve Funds") to offset a decline in Oross Revenues due to the loss of Section 8
revenues available to the Project from HUD. The amount which must be on deposit or credited to
the Additional Reserve Funds (defined as the "Additional Reserve Requirement") is initially
$1,460,000". Under the Indenture and the Loan Agreement, the Borrower is obligated to recompute
annually the Additional Reserve Requirement. The Borrower will use the following information in
recomputing the Additional Reserve Requirement:
1. The number of units in the Project receiving Section 8 ~ssistance and the number
of units in the Project not receiving Seetlon 8 assistance will be determined from the certified
rent roll for the Project produced by the Borrower as of the end of the year to which the
financial statements pertain.
2. The rental income generated by units in the Project occupied by tenants receiving
Section 8 voucher or certificate subsidies ("non-qualified units") will be the tenants’ share of
the rent collected during such year. The tenants’ share of the rent collected from Section 8
assisted units in the Project, divided by the number of Section 8 assisted units determined on
number I above, divided by twelve is the monthly average tenant share of rent for non-
qualified units.
3. The rental income generated by units in the Project occupied by tenants not
receiving Seclion 8 assistance ("qualified units") will be the actual rent collected during such
year from qualified units.
~t. Miscellaneous income (laundry, interest on deposits, late fees, etc.) will be the
actual amount collected during such year.
5. For each fiscal year following the year to which the most recent irinancial
statements pertain, a percentage of non-qualified units will be counted for purposes of the
calculation as qualified units. The incremental number of non-qualified units counted as
qualified units for each fiscal year following the year to which the most recent trmancial
statemems pertain will be determined by multiplying a "turnover percentage" by the number
of non-qualified units as of December 31 of the preceding year. The incremental number of
new qualified units will accrue cumulatively to the number of qualified units assumed for the
preceding year. For each year’s calculation, rental income for each qualified unit will be the
maximttm allowable tax credit rental rate and rental income for each non-qualified unit will be
the tenant portion of rental income as determined in number 2. above. The turnover
percentage will be calculated by dividing the average number of units vacated and subsequently
re-rented by any ~enant in the year preceding the calculating date by 155. Such turnover
percentage will be held constant and applied in each of the succeeding years to non-qualified
units until re-cast at the next calculation date, " ’
~ (see Item F below).
6. The operating expenses for the project are the ~tigher of $3600 per unit per year
or as defined in Section 3.04 of the Loan Agreement (intruding the Replacement Reserve
expense) for the year to which the most recent financial statements pertain.
7. The debt service expenses will be the annual debt service for the current year and
include scheduled principal and interest on the Bonds.
