LOCAL HOUSI[NG INCEN T YV S ACCOUNT (g) The Grantee will, at its own expense, use diligent efforts to recover loan proceeds: (1) when the Project Owner becomes obligated to repay the Grantee's loan or defaults on the Grantee's loan; (2) when the initial thirty-year "compliance period" expires, unless the Council agrees in writing that the Grantee may make the grant funds available as a loan to the Project Owner for an "extended use period"; and (3) if noncompliance with low-income housing tax credit program requirements or some other event triggers the Project Owner's repayment obligations under its loan agreement with the Grantee. The Grantee must repay to the Council all loan repayment amounts the Grantee receives from the Project Owner. The Grantee shall not be obligated to repay the grant funds to the Council except to the extent the Project Owner repays its loan to the Grantee, provided the Grantee has exercised the reasonable degree of diligence and used administrative and legal remedies a reasonable and prudent housing finance agency would use to obtain payment on a loan, taking into consideration (if applicable) the subordinated nature of the loan. At its discretion, the Council may: (1) permit the Grantee to use the loan repayment from the Project Owner to continue supporting affordable housing components of the Project; or (2) require the Grantee to remit the grant funds to the Council. (h) If the Grantee earns any interest or other income from its loan agreement with the Project Owner, the Grantee will: (1) use the interest earnings or income only for the purposes of implementing the Project activities for which the grant was awarded; or (2) remit the interest earnings or income to the Council. The Grantee is not obligated to earn any interest or other income from its loan agreement with the Project Owner, except to the extent required by any applicable law. 2.07. Revolving or Deferred Loans. If consistent with the application and the Project summary or if requested in writing by the Grantee, the Grantee may use the grant funds to make deferred loans (loans made without interest or periodic payments), revolving loans (loans made with interest and periodic payments) or otherwise make the grant funds available on a "revolving" basis for the purposes of implementing the Project activities described or identified in Attachment A. The Grantee will submit annual written reports to the Council that report on the uses of the grant funds. The Council will determine the form and content of the report. This annual reporting requirement is in addition to the reporting requirements stated in Section 3.03. Notwithstanding the Expiration Date identified at Page 1 of this Agreement and referenced in Section 4.01, the Grantee will submit the annual reports until the deferred or revolving loan programs terminate, or until the Council terminates this annual reporting requirement by written notice from the Council. At its discretion, the Council may: (1) permit the Grantee to use loan repayments to continue supporting affordable housing components of the Project; or (2) require the Grantee to remit the grant funds to the Council. 2.08. Restrictions on Grants and Loans by Subrecipients. The Grantee shall not permit any subgrantee or subrecipient to use the grant funds for grants or loans to any subgrantee or subrecipient at any tier unless the Grantee obtains the prior written consent of the Council. The requirements of this Section 2.08 shall be included in all subgrant and subrecipient agreements. 2.09. Project Commencement and Changes. The Project for which grant funds were requested must be "commenced" prior to the Expiration Date. The Grantee must promptly Page 5 of 12 Pages Boulevard Project rev. 12112117
