Authorize the Housing Authority Executive Director and Housing Authority Recording Secretary
to execute an Amended and Restated Bond Regulatory Agreement with LINC-Bristol Associates
for City Gardens Apartments at 2901-2955 North Bristol Street, Santa Ana, CA 92706, subject
to non -substantive changes approved by the Executive Director and Authority General Counsel.
DISCUSSION
City Gardens Apartments at 2901-2955 North Bristol Street, Santa Ana, CA 92706 is collectively
an existing affordable housing project comprised of a total of 27 two-story buildings, containing
274 units. The project sits on 9.09 acres and was built in 1965. This 100% affordable housing
project consists of 59 studios, 143 one -bedroom units and 72 two-bedroom units. The owner of
the project, LINC-Bristol Associates I, is seeking to refinance their current debt in order to
undertake repairs and meet the long-term capital needs of the project. The project was financed
by bonds issued by the Housing Authority of Santa Ana in 1996 and in order for the owner to
refinance, they are requesting an amendment to the Housing Authority's regulatory agreement.
Specifically, the owner submitted an application for Federal Housing Administration ("FHA")
mortgage insurance under section 223(f) to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development ("HUD"). The owner is seeking to refinance the current debt with an approximate
$31,764,500 mortgage. The FHA Lender is Red Mortgage Capital, LLC. The mortgage is for a 35
year term with no recourse to the borrower or the Housing Authority. Loan proceeds will be used
to complete approximately $37,178 in repairs and provide an initial deposit of $834,878 into a
reserve for replacement fund in order to meet long term capital needs of the project. The
application for mortgage insurance is currently in process at HUD, and a firm commitment is
anticipated prior to 2018 year end. The projected closing date is January or February 2019.
As a condition to providing FHA mortgage insurance, HUD requires its form of rider to be
incorporated into the City's regulatory agreement. The project was refinanced in 2006 with a
Fannie Mae loan and a Fannie Mae form of rider was incorporated into the City's regulatory
agreement as part of the 2006 refinancing. In connection with the 2006 refinancing, LINC-Bristol

December 18, 2018

Associates I and the Housing Authority entered into an Amended and Restated Regulatory
Agreement, which included Fannie Mae -required provisions - these are contained in the Fannie
Mae rider and also incorporated throughout the regulatory agreement. The proposed amended
and restated regulatory agreement removes the Fannie Mae rider and all references thereto, and
adds a HUD form of rider.
In regards to the impact of this action on the affordability covenants for the project, in 2006 the
Bonds were refunded with Housing Authority 2006 Series B Bonds ($8,140,000) that put in place
an Amended and Restated Regulatory Agreement which extended the affordability covenants for
55 years until 2061. However, this action does not extend the affordability covenants for the
project.
In regards to the fiscal impact of this action on the Housing Auhtority, the City has no financial
investment in the property. Specifically, in 2012 the 2006 bond loan was refinanced with another
Fannie Mae loan. At that time the Housing Authority bonds were repaid in full. The Housing
Authority was receiving two types of issuer fees under the 2006 Amended and Restated
Regulatory Agreement. The base fee was paid as a lump sum with the 2012 closing. Therefore,
there is no fiscal impact on the Housing Authority with this request.
At the expense of the owner, the Housing Authority requested assistance from our bond counsel
at Orrick to review and analyze this request. Orrick agreed with the requested action and
prepared the Amended and Restated Regulatory Agreement for the Housing Authority. Staff had
initially requested a review by Keyser Marston Associates (KMA), but since there are no
provisions related to cash -out refinancings, KMA referred the matter to the City's bond counsel.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
Approval of this item supports the City's efforts to meet Strategic Plan Goal #4 Fiscal
Sustainability, Objective #1 (Maintain a stable, efficient and transparent financial environment).
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.

covenants, warrants and agrees as follows:
(a) The Project was and is constructed, developed and operated for the purpose of
providing multifamily residential rental property, and the Borrower owns, manages and operates
the Project as a project to provide multifamily residential rental property comprised of 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 applicable provisions of Section

(d) No part of the Project is or will at any time be owned by a cooperative housing

the foregoing, if the Project contains five or more dwelling units, this subsection shall not be
construed to prohibit occupancy of dwelling units by one or more resident managers or
maintenance personnel any of whom may be the Borrower; provided that the number of such
managers or maintenance personnel is not unreasonable given industry standards in the area for
the number of dwelling units in the Project.
(h) Should involuntary noncompliance with the provisions of Section 1.103-8(b) of the
Regulations be caused by fire, seizure, requisition, foreclosure, transfer of title by deed in lieu of
foreclosure, change in a federal law or an action of a federal agency after the Bond Issuance Date
which prevents the Issuer from enforcing the requirements of the Regulations, or condemnation or
similar event, the Borrower covenants that, within a "reasonable period" determined in accordance
with the Regulations, it will either prepay the Loan or apply any proceeds received as a result of
any of the preceding events to reconstruct the Project to meet the requirements of Section 142(d)
of the Code and the Regulations.
(i) The Borrower shall not discriminate on the basis of race, creed, color, sex, source
of income (e.g. AFDC, SSI), physical disability, age, national origin or marital status in the rental,
lease, use or occupancy of the Project or in connection with the employment or application for
employment of persons for the rehabilitation, operation and management of the Project.
The Issuer hereby elects to have the Project meet the requirements of section 142(d) (1)(A) of the
7
4-11
EXHIBIT 1
Section 4. Low Income Tenants. Pursuant to the requirements of the Issuer and Section
142(d) of the Code and applicable provisions of the Act, the Borrower hereby represents, as of the date
hereof, and warrants, covenants and agrees as follows:
(a) During the Qualified Project Period:
(i) Not less than 20% of the units in the Project shall be designated as Low
Income Units which are occupied, or held vacant for occupancy, and shall be continuously
occupied by Low Income Tenants. All of the Low Income Units shall be generally
distributed in terms of location and number of bedrooms throughout the Project. The Low
Income Units shall be of comparable quality and offer a range of sizes and number of
bedrooms comparable to those units which are available to other tenants. Tenants in the
Low Income Units shall have equal access and enjoyment to all common facilities of the
Project.
(ii) The monthly rent paid by the persons occupying the Low Income Units
shall be Affordable Rent.
(iii) Low Income Units shall remain available on a priority basis for occupancy
by Low Income Tenants at an Affordable Rent. A unit occupied by a Low Income Tenant
who at the commencement of the occupancy is a Low Income Tenant shall be treated as
occupied by a Low Income Tenant until a recertification of such tenant's income in
accordance with Section 4(d) below demonstrates that such tenant no longer qualifies as
a Low Income Tenant and thereafter any residential unit in the Project is occupied by a
new resident other than a Low Income Tenant. Moreover, a unit previously occupied by a
Low Income Tenant and then vacated shall be considered occupied by a Low Income
Tenant until reoccupied, other than for a temporary period, at which time the character of
the unit shall be predetermined. In no event shall such temporary period exceed 31 days.
(b) The Borrower will obtain and maintain on file an Income Computation and
Certification form, in the form of Exhibit B hereto, from each Low Income Tenant occupying a Low
Income Unit, dated the Bond Issuance Date or immediately prior to the initial occupancy of such
Low Income Tenant in the Project, as applicable. In addition, the Borrower will provide such further
information as may be required in the future by the State of California, the Issuer, the Act, Section
142(d) of the Code and the Regulations, 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
or other official statements now or hereafter promulgated, proposed or made by the Department of
the Treasury or the Internal Revenue Service with respect to obligations issued under Section
142(d) of the Code. The Borrower shall make a good faith effort to verify that the income provided
by an applicant in an income certification is accurate by taking any of the following steps as a part
of the verification process: (1) obtain a pay stub for the most recent pay period, (2) obtain an income
tax return for the most recent tax year, (3) obtain an income verification form from the applicant's
current employer, (4) obtain an income verification form from the Social Security Administration
and/or the California Department of Social Services if the applicant receives assistance from either
of such agencies, or (5) if the applicant is unemployed and has no such tax return, obtain another
form of independent verification.

(c) Immediately prior to the first anniversary date of the occupancy of a Low Income
Unit by one or more Low Income Tenants, or the first anniversary of the initial qualification of such
tenants as Low Income Tenants, as applicable, and on each anniversary date thereafter, the
Borrower shall recertify the income of the occupants of such Low Income Unit by obtaining a
completed Income Computation and Certification based upon the current income of each occupant
of the unit. In the event the recertification demonstrates that such household's income exceeds
the income at which the occupants of such household would qualify as Low Income Tenants, such
household will no longer qualify as a Low Income Tenant, and at such time the Borrower shall rent
the next available unit of comparable size to the extent available to one or more Low Income
Tenants. In no event shall the rent of any tenant who has ceased to be a Low Income Tenant be
raised above Affordable Rent before such time as a new Low Income Tenant is qualified and
commences occupancy of a unit in the Project at an Affordable Rent or a unit in the Project is held
available for occupancy at an Affordable Rent. At such time as the Borrower has recertified the
income of the Low Income Tenants to meet the 20% requirement of this paragraph, the Borrower
shall no longer be obligated to comply with the Affordable Rent requirement as to such tenants who
have ceased to qualify as Low Income Tenants based on such recertification. No tenant in the
Project shall be denied continued occupancy in the Project because, after occupancy, such tenant's
household income increases such that the income for such household will no longer qualify such
household as Low Income Tenants except as may be required for the Project to continue to comply
with applicable "tax credit" occupancy restrictions. An "available" unit is one that is unoccupied by
a tenant.
(d) Within 10 days of the last day of each calendar quarter during the term of this
Regulatory Agreement, the Borrower shall advise the Issuer and the Program Administrator of the
status of the occupancy of the Project by delivering to such parties, and, upon request, to the
Lender, a Certificate of Continuing Program Compliance.
(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 Trustee, the
Lender, the Department of the Treasury or the Internal Revenue Service to inspect the books and
records of the Borrower pertaining to the Project, including those records pertaining to the
occupancy of the Low Income Units.
(f) The Borrower will prepare and submit to the Issuer and the Program Administrator,
if any, and, upon request, to the Lender, within 30 days after each anniversary of the Completion
Date, a Certificate of Continuing Program Compliance executed by the Borrower stating (i) the
percentage of the dwelling units of the Project which were occupied or deemed occupied, pursuant
to subsection (a) hereof, by Low Income Tenants during such period, and (ii) that either (A) no
unremedied default has occurred under this Regulatory Agreement or (B) a default has occurred,
in which event the certificate shall describe the nature of the default and set forth the measures
being taken by the Borrower to remedy such default. The Borrower shall submit to the Secretary
of the Treasury annually on the anniversary date of the start of the Qualified Project Period, or such
17
4-13
EXHIBIT 1
other date as is required by the Secretary, the Annual Certification of a Residential Rental Project
(or such other form as required by the Secretary of the Treasury) and shall provide a copy of such
certification to the Issuer and the Program Administrator, if any, and, upon request, to the Lender,
so as to comply with Section 142(d)(7) of the Code.
(g) The Borrower shall accept as tenants, on the same basis as all other prospective
tenants, persons who are recipients of federal certificates or vouchers for rent subsidies pursuant
to the existing program under Section 8 of the United States Housing Act of 1937, or its successor.
The Borrower shall not apply selection criteria to Section 8 certificate or voucher holders that are
more burdensome than criteria applied to all other prospective tenants. The Borrower shall not
apply selection criteria to Low Income Tenants that is more burdensome than criteria applied to
non -Low Income Tenants. The Borrower shall not apply selection criteria to Low Income Tenant
applicants referred by the Issuer that are more burdensome than criteria applied to all other Low
Income Tenants.
(h) Each lease pertaining to a Low Income Unit shall contain a provision to the effect
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. Each lease may also contain a provision that failure to
cooperate with the annual recertification process reasonably instituted by the Borrower pursuant to
Section 4(d) above may at the option of the Borrower disqualify the unit as a Low Income Unit or
provide grounds for termination of the lease.
(i) As dwelling units become available for occupancy and ending at the end of the
Qualified Project Period, the Borrower will: (a) maintain a list of persons who have notified the
Borrower within the prior 90 days of their desire to rent a unit in the Project and who have Adjusted
Incomes which would qualify them as Low Income Tenants, and (b) offer to rent on a priority basis
the units which have been designated for occupancy by Low Income Tenants to the persons on
such list prior to offering to rent such units to any other persons; provided, however, that nothing
contained herein shall require the Borrower to offer to rent the units which have been designated
for occupancy on a priority basis by Low Income Tenants to such persons on terms and conditions
which are more favorable than the terms and conditions on which Low Income Units will be offered
to the public generally. The Borrower shall inform persons on such list of the need to restate their
interest in renting a unit in the Project every 90 days in order to remain on such list.
Section 4A. Additional Restrictions Imposed by the Issuer. The Borrower hereby represents,
warrants and covenants, at all times during the Qualified Project Period, as follows:
(a) The Borrower shall not permit the number of occupants in any dwelling unit in the
Project to exceed the Section 8 occupancy guidelines set forth in the federal Housing Quality
Standards relating to the number of persons in each living/sleeping area. The Borrower shall certify
compliance with this Section 4A(a) in its annual Certificate of Continuing Program Compliance
required pursuant to Section 4(g) hereof.
(b) The Borrower shall annually provide for inspection of the Project by an
independent consultant satisfactory to the Issuer with expertise in the operation of multifamily
10
4-14
EXHIBIT 1
residential rental projects in the State of California similar to the Project; provided, however, such
independent consultant may be a representative of the Lender or an independent consultant
chosen by the Lender. The Borrower shall provide notice to the Issuer and the Lender 30 days
prior to such inspection and permit representatives of the Issuer and the Lender to accompany the
consultant on its inspection of the Project. Within 30 days after the inspection, the consultant shall
prepare a written report evaluating the management and maintenance of the Project by the
Borrower within the previous 12 -month period. The Borrower shall implement within 90 days of its
receipt of such report, or any longer period approved by the Issuer at the request of the Borrower,
any reasonable recommendations set forth in such report that provide for the maintenance of the
Project in a condition that is substantially similar to the condition of the Project on the Completion
Date giving consideration to normal wear and tear of the Project; provided, however, any
consideration of normal wear and tear of the Project shall not allow any significant deferred
maintenance of the Project. At the request of the Borrower or the Lender, the Issuer shall meet with
such party or parties to consider the manner in which the consultant's recommendations will be
implemented by the Borrower; provided, however, that the Issuer shall be under no obligation to
waive or modify any of such recommendations. Any failure by the Borrower to implement any
recommendation as set forth in the preceding sentence shall constitute an Event of Default
hereunder and shall be enforced as set forth in Section 15 hereof.
(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4, above, not less than 20% of the units
in the Project shall, for a period of 55 years from the Closing Date, be designated as Low Income
Units which are occupied, or held vacant for occupancy, by Low Income Tenants and the monthly
rent paid by the persons occupying the Low Income Units shall be Affordable Rent. The
requirements of Section 4 shall apply to the rental of Low Income Units for the duration of said 55 -
year period.
Section 5. Tax Status of the Bonds. The Borrower and the Issuer each hereby represents,
as of the date hereof, and warrants, covenants and agrees that:
(a) It will not knowingly take or permit, or omit to take or cause to be taken, as is
appropriate, any action that would adversely affect the exclusion from gross income for federal
income tax purposes or the exemption from California personal income taxation of the interest on
the Bonds and, if it should take or permit, or omit to take or cause to be taken, any such action, it
will take all lawful actions necessary to rescind or correct such actions or omissions promptly upon
obtaining knowledge thereof;
(b) It will take such action or actions as may be necessary, in the written opinion of
Bond Counsel filed with the Issuer, the Trustee, the Lender and the Borrower, to comply fully with
the Act and all applicable rules, rulings, policies, procedures, Regulations or other official
statements promulgated, proposed or made by the Department of the Treasury or the Internal
Revenue Service pertaining to obligations issued under Section 142(d) of the Code to the extent
necessary to maintain the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of interest
on the Bonds; and
(c) It will file of record such documents and take such other steps as are necessary,
in the written opinion of Bond Counsel filed with the Issuer, the Trustee, the Lender and the
Borrower, in order to insure that the requirements and restrictions of this Regulatory Agreement
11
4-15
EXHIBIT 1
will be binding upon all owners of the Project, including, but not limited to, the execution and
recordation of this Regulatory Agreement in the real property records of the County.
The Borrower hereby covenants to include the requirements and restrictions contained in this
Regulatory Agreement in any document transferring any interest in the Project to another person to the end
that such transferee has notice of, and is bound by, such restrictions, and to obtain the agreement from any
transferee to abide by all requirements and restrictions of this Regulatory Agreement.
Section 6. Modification of Special Tax Covenants. The Borrower, the Trustee and the Issuer
hereby agree as follows:
(a) To the extent any amendments to the Act, the Regulations or the Code shall, in
the written opinion of Bond Counsel filed with the Issuer, the Trustee and the Borrower, impose
requirements upon the ownership or operation of the Project more restrictive than those imposed
by this Regulatory Agreement which must be complied with in order to maintain the exclusion from
gross income for federal income tax purposes of interest on the Bonds, this Regulatory Agreement
shall be deemed to be automatically amended to impose such additional or more restrictive
requirements.
(b) To the extent that the Act, the Regulations or the Code, or any amendments
thereto, shall, in the written opinion of Bond Counsel filed with the Issuer, the Trustee and the
Borrower, impose requirements upon the ownership or operation of the Project less restrictive than
imposed by this Regulatory Agreement, this Regulatory Agreement may be amended or modified
to provide such less restrictive requirements but only by written amendment signed by the Issuer,
at its sole discretion, the Trustee and the Borrower, with the consent of the Lender, and only upon
receipt by the Issuer and the Trustee of the written opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that such
amendment will not affect the Tax -Exempt status of interest on the Bonds or violate the
requirements of the Act, and otherwise in accordance with Section 19 hereof.
(c) The Borrower, the Issuer and, if applicable, the Trustee shall execute, deliver and,
if applicable, file of record any and all documents and instruments, necessary to effectuate the
intent of this Section 6, and each of the Borrower and the Issuer hereby appoints the Trustee as its
true and lawful attorney-in-fact to execute, deliver and, if applicable, file of record on behalf of the
Borrower or the Issuer, as is applicable, any such document or instrument (in such form as may be
approved in writing by Bond Counsel) if either the Borrower or the Issuer defaults in the
performance of its obligations under this subsection (b); provided, however, that the Trustee shall
take no action under this subsection (b) without first notifying the Borrower or the Issuer, or both of
them, as is applicable, unless directed in writing by the Issuer or the Borrower and without first
providing the Borrower or the Issuer, or both, as is applicable, an opportunity to comply with the
requirements of this Section 6.
Section 7. Indemnification. The Borrower hereby covenants and agrees that it shall indemnify
and hold harmless the Issuer and the Program Administrator, if not the Issuer (the "Issuer Indemnity") and
the Trustee, including for such purposes, their respective officers, members, commissioners, directors,
officials, employees and agents from and against all claims, liabilities, obligations, damages, penalties,
litigation, costs, charges and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys, accounting,
consulting, engineering, and other fees and expenses), imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the
12
4-16
EXHIBIT 1
Issuer Indemnity or the Trustee and arising from, resulting from, or in any way connected with or related to
(i) any cause whatsoever in connection with the approval of tax-exempt financing for the Project or the
making or administration of the Loan; (ii) any act or omission of the Borrower or the General Partner or any
of its agents, servants, employees, or licensees, in connection with the Loan or the Project; (iii) the
operation, use, occupancy, maintenance, or ownership of the Project (including compliance with laws,
ordinances and rules and regulations of public authorities relating thereto); (iv) the Trustee's acceptance or
administration of the trusts under and/or the Issuer's execution of the Indenture, the Financing Agreement
or this Regulatory Agreement, or the exercise or performance by Issuer Indemnity of any powers or duties
under the Indenture, the Financing Agreement or this Regulatory Agreement; or (v) the issuance of any
Bonds or any certifications or representations of the Borrower or the General Partner made in connection
therewith and the carrying out of any of the transactions contemplated by the Bonds and this Regulatory
Agreement; provided, however, that this provision shall not require the Borrower to indemnify the Issuer
Indemnity or the Trustee from any claims, costs, fees, expenses or liabilities arising from the willful failure
to perform its obligations under any of the foregoing documents or willful misconduct of the Issuer Indemnity
or the willful misconduct or negligence of the Trustee, as applicable. The indemnity provided in this Section
shall include within its scope, without limitation, any and all active or passive negligence on the part of
Issuer Indemnity (other than willful misconduct) or any claims of combined negligence on the part of Issuer
Indemnity and Borrower, to the extent Issuer Indemnity is not prohibited by law from contracting for
indemnification against such active, passive or combined negligent conduct; any claims for wrongful death;
any vicarious liability imposed upon the Issuer Indemnity; and any liability imposed by law on the Issuer
Indemnity on a strict liability theory or pursuant to any local, state or federal environmental statute,
regulation or law; and the Borrower expressly acknowledges that the scope of its obligation to indemnify,
hold harmless and defend the Issuer extends to and includes all loss, costs, damages, expenses, suits,
judgments, actions and liabilities of whatsoever nature arising out of or related to the Issuer's obligations,
liabilities and/or responsibilities with respect to the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended,
(the "ADA") insofar as they relate to the Project or arise out of the Issuer's issuance of the Bonds, including,
but not limited to, any claims that the Project is inaccessible to or that the Borrower discriminates against
disabled individuals; it being expressly agreed by the Borrower that the issuance of the Bonds and/or the
making of the Loan are not willful misconduct excusing the Borrower from its indemnification obligations
with respect to the Issuer's potential ADA liability. It is the express intention of the parties that Borrower
shall indemnify Issuer Indemnity against any and all such liability hereunder, and that the foregoing
indemnification with respect to the Borrower shall survive the termination of this Regulatory Agreement.
The Borrower also shall pay and discharge and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Issuer
Indemnity and the Trustee from any taxes (including, without limitation, any ad valorem taxes and sales
taxes, but not income taxes on fees and expenses paid to the Trustee), assessments, impositions and other
charges in respect of the Project.
In the event that any action or proceeding is brought against the Issuer Indemnity or the Trustee
with respect to which indemnity may be sought hereunder, the Borrower, upon written notice from the
indemnified party, shall assume the investigation and defense thereof, including the employment of counsel
selected by the Borrower (and otherwise acceptable to the indemnified party) and the payment of all
expenses related thereto. The Issuer Indemnity or the Trustee, as applicable, shall have the right to retain
separate defense counsel at the sole cost and expense of Borrower, upon such indemnitee's reasonable
determination, with the consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), that
such separate counsel is necessary to provide such indemnified party with an adequate defense to any
such action or proceeding.
13
4-17
EXHIBIT 1
In addition thereto, the Borrower will pay upon demand all of the fees and expenses paid or incurred
by the Issuer Indemnity and all of the reasonable fees and expenses paid or incurred by the Trustee in
enforcing the provisions hereof.
The provisions of this Section and Section 17 shall survive the resignation or removal of the
Trustee, the repayment of the Loan and the retirement of the Bonds.
Section 8. Consideration. The Issuer has issued the Bonds to provide funds to make the
Loan to refinance the Project, all for the purpose, among others, of inducing the Borrower to acquire,
rehabilitate and operate the Project. In consideration of the issuance of the Bonds by the Issuer, the
Borrower has entered into this Regulatory Agreement and has agreed to restrict the uses to which the
Project can be put on the terms and conditions set forth herein.
Section 9. Reliance. The Issuer and the Borrower hereby recognize and agree that the
representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein may be relied upon by all persons
interested in the legality and validity of the Bonds, and in the exclusion from gross income for federal income
tax purposes and the exemption from California personal income taxation of the interest on the Bonds. In
performing their duties and obligations hereunder, the Issuer and the Trustee may rely upon statements
and certificates of the Borrower and Low Income Tenants, and upon audits of the books and records of the
Borrower pertaining to the Project. In addition, the Issuer and the Trustee may consult with counsel, and
the opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action
taken or suffered by the Issuer or the Trustee hereunder in good faith and in conformity with such opinion.
In determining whether any default or lack of compliance by the Borrower exists under this Regulatory
Agreement, the Trustee shall not be required to conduct any investigation into or review of the operations
or records of the Borrower and may rely solely on any notice or certificate delivered to the Trustee by the
Borrower or the Issuer with respect to the occurrence or absence of a default.
Section 10. Sale or Transfer of the Project. The Borrower intends to hold the Project for its
own account, has no current plans to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Project, and hereby
covenants and agrees not to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Project, or any portion thereof (other
than for individual tenant use as contemplated hereunder), without obtaining the prior consent of the Issuer,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and receipt by the Issuer and the Trustee of
(i) evidence satisfactory to the Issuer that the Borrower's purchaser or transferee has assumed in writing
and in full, the Borrower's duties and obligations under this Regulatory Agreement and the Financing
Agreement, (ii) an opinion of counsel of the transferee that the transferee has duly assumed the obligations
of the Borrower under this Regulatory Agreement and that such obligations and this Regulatory Agreement
are binding on the transferee, (iii) evidence acceptable to the Issuer that either (A) the purchaser or
assignee has experience in the ownership, operation and management of rental housing projects such as
the Project without any record of material violations of discrimination restrictions or other state or federal
laws or regulations applicable to such projects, or (B) the purchaser or assignee agrees to retain a property
management firm with the experience and record described in subparagraph (A) above or if the purchaser
or assignee does not have management experience, the Issuer will or will cause the Program Administrator
to provide on-site training in program compliance if the Issuer determines such training is necessary, (iv)
evidence that no event of default exists under any of this Regulatory Agreement, the Financing Agreement,
the Mortgage or any document related to the Loan, and payment of all fees and expenses of the Issuer and
the Trustee due under any of such documents are current or will be current as of the date of the sale or
transfer, and (v) an opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that such transfer will not, in itself, cause interest
14
EXHIBIT 1
on any Bond to become includable in the gross income of the recipients thereof for federal income tax
purposes. Notwithstanding the above, the Issuer hereby acknowledges and consents to the transfer of the
Project to the General Partner pursuant to that certain Option Agreement dated as of December 18, 1996
between the General Partner and the Borrower. It is hereby expressly stipulated and agreed that any sale,
transfer or other disposition of the Project in violation of this Section 10 shall be null, void and without effect,
shall cause a reversion of title to the Borrower, and shall be ineffective to relieve the Borrower of its
obligations under this Regulatory Agreement. Nothing in this Section 10 shall affect any provision of any
other document or instrument between the Borrower and any other party which requires the Borrower to
obtain the prior written consent of such other party in order to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the
Project. Not less than 30 days prior to consummating any sale, transfer or disposition of any interest in the
Project, the Borrower shall deliver to the Issuer and the Trustee a notice in writing explaining the nature of
the proposed transfer. Upon the written assumption of the Borrower's obligations hereunder, the Borrower
shall no longer remain liable for its obligations hereunder to the extent of any interest so assigned.
Any syndication by the Borrower of the Project shall be in compliance with any applicable
requirements of the Act, and (i) the terms and conditions of the syndication shall not reduce or limit any of
the requirements of the Act or regulations adopted or documents executed pursuant to the Act, (10 no
requirements of the Issuer shall be subordinated to the syndication agreement, and (iii) the syndication
shall not result in the provision of fewer assisted units, or the reduction of any benefits or services, than
were in existence prior to the syndication agreement.
Section 11. Term. Subject to the following paragraph of this Section 11, this Regulatory
Agreement and all and several of the terms hereof shall become effective upon its execution and delivery
and shall remain in full force and effect during the Qualified Project Period, it being expressly agreed and
understood that the provisions hereof are intended to survive the retirement of the Bonds and expiration,
termination or cancellation of the Indenture, the Mortgage Note or the Financing Agreement.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Regulatory Agreement to the contrary, this entire Regulatory
Agreement, or any of the provisions or sections hereof, may be terminated upon agreement by the Issuer,
the Trustee and the Borrower subject to compliance with any of the provisions contained in this Regulatory
Agreement only if there shall have been received an opinion of Bond Counsel that such termination will not
adversely affect the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes or the exemption from
State personal income taxation of the interest on the Bonds. The Borrower shall provide notice of any
termination of this Regulatory Agreement to the Trustee and the Lender.
The terms of this Regulatory Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, this Regulatory
Agreement, and all and several of the terms hereof, shall terminate and be of no further force and effect in
the event of (i)(a) involuntary noncompliance with the provisions of this Regulatory Agreement caused by
a foreclosure of the lien of a deed of trust on the Project or delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure whereby
a third party shall take possession of the Project or (i)(b) involuntary non-compliance with the provisions of
this Regulatory Agreement caused by fire, seizure, requisition, change in a federal law or an action of a
federal agency after the date hereof which prevents the Issuer and the Trustee from enforcing the provisions
hereof or condemnation or a similar event, and (ii) either (A) in each case, the payment in full and retirement
of the (or extinguishment in accordance with the terms of the Indenture) of the Bonds, each theretofore or
within a reasonable period thereafter or (B) in each case, an opinion of Bond Counsel is delivered to the
Issuer to the effect that such termination will not adversely affect the exclusion from gross income for federal
income tax purposes of interest on the Bonds; provided, however, that the preceding provisions of this
sentence shall cease to apply and the restrictions contained herein shall be reinstated if, at any time
15
4-19
EXHIBIT 1
subsequent to the termination of such provisions as the result of the foreclosure or the delivery of a deed
in lieu of foreclosure or a similar event, the Borrower or any related person to it (within the meaning of
Section 1.10310(e) of the Regulations) obtains an ownership interest in the Project for Federal income tax
purposes. Upon the termination of the terms of this Regulatory Agreement, the parties hereto agree to
execute, deliver and record appropriate instruments of release and discharge of the terms hereof; provided,
however, that the execution and delivery of such instruments shall not be necessary or a prerequisite to the
termination of this Regulatory Agreement in accordance with its terms.
Section 12. Covenants to Run With the Land. The Borrower hereby subjects the Project
(including the Site) to the covenants, reservations and restrictions set forth in this Regulatory Agreement.
The Issuer and the Borrower hereby declare their express intent that the covenants, reservations and
restrictions set forth herein shall be deemed covenants running with the land and shall pass to and be
binding upon the Borrower's successors in title to the Project; provided, however, that on the termination of
this Regulatory Agreement said covenants, reservations and restrictions shall expire. Each and every
contract, deed or other instrument hereafter executed covering or conveying the Project or any portion
thereof shall conclusively be held to have been executed, delivered and accepted subject to such
covenants, reservations and restrictions, regardless of whether such covenants, reservations and
restrictions are set forth in such contract, deed or other instruments. No breach of any of the provisions of
this Regulatory Agreement shall defeat or render invalid the lien of a mortgage made in good faith and for
value encumbering the Site.
Section 13. Burden and Benefit. The Issuer and the Borrower hereby declare their
understanding and intent that the burden of the covenants set forth herein touch and concern the land in
that the Borrower's legal interest in the Project is rendered less valuable thereby. The Issuer and the
Borrower hereby further declare their understanding and intent that the benefit of such covenants touch
and concern the land by enhancing and increasing the enjoyment and use of the Project by Low Income
Tenants, and by furthering the public purposes for which the Bonds were issued.
Section 14. Uniformity; Common Plan. The covenants, reservations and restrictions hereof
shall apply uniformly to the entire Project in order to establish and carry out a common plan for the use,
development and improvement of the Site.
Section 15. Enforcement. If the Borrower defaults in the performance or observance of any
covenant, agreement or obligation of the Borrower set forth in this Regulatory Agreement, and if such
default remains uncured for a period of 30 days after notice thereof shall have been given by the Issuer or
the Trustee to the Borrower (provided, however, that the Issuer may at its sole option extend such period if
the Borrower provides the Issuer with an opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that such extension will not
adversely affect the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of interest on the Bonds),
then the Trustee, to the extent directed by and acting on behalf of the Issuer, (i) shall provide written notice
to the Lender of such default, describe the nature of the default, indicate whether the default has been
cured and, if not, whether it is curable within a reasonable period of time or is incurable, and (ii) shall declare
an "Event of Default" to have occurred hereunder, and (Hi) subject to the provisions of the Indenture, may
take any one or more of the following steps:
(a) by mandamus or other suit, action or proceeding at law or in equity, require the
Borrower to perform its obligations and covenants hereunder or enjoin any acts or things which
may be unlawful or in violation of the rights of the Issuer or the Trustee hereunder;
16
4-20
EXHIBIT 1
(b) have access to and inspect, examine and make copies of all of the books and
records of the Borrower pertaining to the Project; or
(c) take such other action at law or in equity as may appear necessary or desirable to
enforce the obligations, covenants and agreements of the Borrower hereunder.
Provided, however, that neither the Issuer nor the Trustee may seek to recover damages from the
Borrower except as permitted pursuant to Section 7 hereof.
The Trustee shall have the right, in accordance with this Section 15 and the provisions of the
Indenture, without the consent or approval of the Issuer, to exercise any or all of the rights or remedies of
the Issuer hereunder; provided that prior to taking any such act the Trustee shall give the Issuer written
notice of its intended action. All reasonable fees, costs and expenses of the Trustee incurred in taking any
action pursuant to this Section 15 shall be the sole responsibility of the Borrower.
After the Indenture has been discharged, or if the Trustee fails to act under this Section 15, the
Issuer may act on its own behalf to declare an "Event of Default" to have occurred and to take any one or
more of the steps specified hereinabove to the same extent and with the same effect as if taken by the
Trustee.
Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Indenture to the contrary, so long as the Bonds are
outstanding and have not been paid in full, the liability of the Borrower hereunder shall be limited as provided
in Section 5.11(a) of the Financing Agreement. The parties hereto agree that the maturity date of the
Mortgage Note may be accelerated solely by the holder thereof upon the occurrence of a default on the
part of the Borrower under the Loan Documents that is not cured during any applicable grace period in
accordance with their respective terms and for no other reason and that neither the Issuer nor the Trustee
has any right to accelerate the maturity date of the Mortgage Note.
Section 16. Recording and Filing. The Borrower shall cause this Regulatory Agreement and
all amendments and supplements hereto and thereto, to be recorded and filed, prior to the recording of the
Mortgage and the disbursement of the Loan, in the real property records of the County and in such other
places as the Issuer or the Trustee may reasonably request. The Borrower shall pay all fees and charges
incurred in connection with any such recording.
Section 17. Payment of Fees. Notwithstanding any prepayment of the Loan and
notwithstanding a discharge of the Indenture, throughout the term of this Regulatory Agreement, the
Borrower shall continue to pay to the Issuer its administration fee described below and in the event of
default, to the Issuer and to the Trustee reasonable compensation for any services rendered by either of
them hereunder and reimbursement for all expenses reasonably incurred by either of them in connection
therewith.
The Borrower shall pay to the Issuer (i) an initial fee in the amount of $10,175.00 on or before the
Closing Date, and (ii) an annual administration fee in an amount equal to $10,175.00 (such amount being
equal to .125% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Bonds) in arrears in equal semi-annual
installments, on June 15 and December 15 of each year commencing on June 15, 2007 (the first semi-
annual installment shall be prorated for the period beginning on December 1, 2006 through June 15, 2007).
The fee of the Issuer referenced in this Section shall in no way limit amounts payable by the Borrower under
Section 7 or 15 hereof, or otherwise arising in connection with the Issuer's or Trustee's enforcement of the
17
4-21
EXHIBIT 1
provisions of this Regulatory Agreement. In the event that the Issuer appoints a Program Administrator to
administer the provisions of this Regulatory Agreement, the fees and expenses of such Program
Administrator shall be payable from the annual administration fee payable hereunder; provided, however,
in the event that the fees and expenses of such Program Administrator are in excess of the annual
administration fee set forth above, the Borrower shall be liable for and shall pay such excess directly to
such Program Administrator.
During any period in which a property tax exemption with respect to the Project is in effect, in
addition to the administration fee set forth in the preceding paragraph, the Borrower shall pay semi-annually
to the Issuer on June 15 and December 15 of each year subsequent to receiving such property tax
exemption, commencing on such June 15 or December 15 immediately succeeding the granting of such

and payable under, the Loan; or
(b) upon the occurrence of an event of default under the Loan, take any action to
accelerate or otherwise enforce payment or seek other remedies with respect to the Loan; or
provided that this prohibition shall not be construed to limit the rights of the Issuer and the Trustee

manner required by the Act, the Code and the Issuer, and provided further that this prohibition shall not be
construed to limit the rights of the Issuer or the Trustee to enforce their rights against the Borrower under

composition, reorganization, conservation or other similar law in effect now or in the future; provided further,
however, that neither the Issuer nor the Trustee may cause the Loan to become due and payable or cause

immediately due and payable or cause the noteholder to foreclose or take any action under the Loan
Documents to obtain such performance or observance; and provided further that any right of the Issuer or
the Trustee to take any action at law or in equity to enforce the obligations, covenants and agreements of
the Borrower under the Regulatory Agreement (including any claim under Section 7 or Section 15 hereof)

of the Borrower under this Regulatory Agreement for the payment of money and all claims for damages
against the Borrower occasioned by breach or alleged breach by the Borrower of its obligations under this
Regulatory Agreement, including indemnification obligations, shall not be a lien on the Project and no
Person shall have the right to enforce such obligations other than directly against the Borrower as provided
in Section 15 of this Agreement. It is hereby acknowledged that the obligation to repay the Loan is not an
obligation of the Borrower for payment of money under this Regulatory Agreement, but is governed by the
terms of the Financing Agreement and the Loan Documents.
No subsequent owner of the Project shall be liable or obligated for the breach or default of any
obligation of the Borrower under this Agreement on the part of any prior Borrower, including but not limited
to any payment or indemnification obligation. Such obligations are personal to the Person who was the
20
4-24
EXHIBIT 1
Borrower at the time the default or breach was alleged to have occurred and such Person shall remain
liable for any and all damages occasioned thereby even after such Person ceases to be the Borrower.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Borrower shall in any event comply with and be liable for all obligations
of the Borrower hereunder during its period of ownership of the Project.
