C. "Eligible Household" shall mean and include a person or household (i) meeting
the definition of "Moderate Income Household" under this Section 5; and (ii)

vary from time to time, but must be uniformly applied at all times.
d. "Owner- Occupied Monthly Housing Payment" means the sum equal to the
principal, interest, property taxes, homeowner's insurance and homeowner's
association dues paid on an annual basis divided by twelve (12).
e. "Median Income" shall mean the area -wide median gross yearly income in

by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development ( "HUD "), or, by
the California Department of Housing and Community Development ( "HCD ")

in Median Income since the seller's purchase, plus the value of substantial
structural or permanent fixed improvements to the property, plus the cost of
reasonable seller's broker fee as determined by the City Manager; (2) the resale
restrictions shall provide that in the event of the sale of an affordable unit
intended for owner- occupancy, the city shall have the right to purchase or assign
its right to purchase such affordable unit at the maximum price which could be
charged to an eligible household.
g. Designation of Unit. The Affordable Unit is designated for ownership by a
Moderate- Income Household. Except as expressly permitted under this

certifications, including the prospective purchaser's /transferee's income most recent

Affordable Unit at an Affordable Sales Price, Owner shall have the right, but
not the obligation, to give the City written notice of such circumstances
( "Option Notice "). However, the Owner shall not sell the Affordable Unit for a
price that exceeds the Affordable Sales Price or to.a non- Eligible Household
without first giving the City an Option Notice so that the City has the
opportunity to exercise the option granted by this Section 10.
b. Option. In the event Owner gives City an Option Notice or Owner is in default
under Section 15 below, the City may purchase the Affordable Unit at a price
equal to the lesser of (i) the fair market value of the Affordable Unit (as
determined by agreement of the parties or in the absence of an agreement, by an
appraisal acceptable to the City), or (ii) the Affordable Sales Price, using the
maximum housing cost for the Eligible Household, as adjusted for the
applicable unit size as defined in Health and Safety Code Section 50052 or any
successor thereto. This option shall be exercised by the City giving the Owner
notice, no later than ninety (90) days following City's receipt of the Option
Notice or Owner's Default, of.the City's intent to purchase the Affordable Unit
( "Exercise Notice "). The City may designate another governmental entity, a

thereof. All escrow instructions shall be consistent with the provisions of this
Agreement.
Proceeds of Escrow; Removal of Exceptions to Title. Owner shall convey the
Affordable Unit to City free and clear of all liens other than the lien for current,
unpaid, non - delinquent taxes. All amounts deposited into escrow by City shall
be applied first to the payment of liens recorded against the Affordable Unit in
order of lien priority, and thereafter to the Owner's share of escrow fees and
closing costs. The balance of the Option purchase price remaining after
payment of liens and Owner's share of escrow fees and closing costs, if any,
shall be paid to Owner upon the close of escrow.
12. Owner's Right to Sell Free of Restrictions. In the event City does not exercise the
purchase option provided pursuant to Section 10, or City does exercise the option but
fails to close the transaction as provided in Section 11 above for any reason other than a
default by Owner, Owner shall have the right, for a period of 180 days after the date
City's option expired or City failed to close, as the case may be, to sell the Affordable
Unit for a market sales price to any buyer, regardless of income, without any obligation
on the part of the buyer to enter into and record a new Refinance and Resale Limitation
Agreement and Option to Purchase at closing. In the event of such a sale, this
Agreement shall have no force or effect as an encumbrance against the Affordable Unit
on and after the closing date. If Owner or the buyer requests, the City shall provide a
recordable quitclaim deed at closing in accordance with Section 17 below. If Owner
does not close on the sale of the Affordable Unit within the 180 day -period provided
herein, the requirements of this Agreement shall again apply to any proposed sale of the
