D-2 516911v1 JAE MU205-47 (c) Removal from Real Estate Records. Upon termination of this Declaration, the Authority will, upon request by the Developer or its assigns, file any document appropriate to remove this Declaration from the real estate records of Ramsey County, Minnesota. 2. Project Restrictions. (a) the Developer represents, warrants, and covenants that: (i) All leases of units to Qualifying Tenants (as defined in Section 3(a)(i) hereof) will contain clauses, among others, wherein each individual lessee: (1) Certifies the accuracy of the statements made in its application and Eligibility Certification (as defined in Section 3(a)(ii) hereof); and (2) Agrees that the family income at the time the lease is executed will be deemed substantial and material obligation of the lessee’s tenancy; that the lessee will comply promptly with all requests for income and other information relevant to determining low or moderate income status from the Developer or the Authority, and that the lessee’s failure or refusal to comply with a request for information with respect thereto will be deemed a violation of a substantial obligation of the lessee’s tenancy. (ii) the Developer will permit any duly authorized representative of the Authority to inspect the books and records of the Developer pertaining to the income of Qualifying Tenants residing in the Project. 3. Occupancy Restrictions. The Developer represents, warrants, and covenants that: (a) Qualifying Tenants. From the commencement of the Qualified Project Period, all of the Rental Housing Units will be occupied (or treated as occupied as provided herein) or held vacant and available for occupancy by Qualifying Tenants. Qualifying Tenants means those persons and families who are determined from time to time by the Developer to have combined adjusted income that does not exceed sixty percent (60%) of the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan statistical area (the “Metro Area”) median income for the applicable calendar year. For purposes of this definition, the occupants of a residential unit will not be deemed to be Qualifying Tenants if all the occupants of such residential unit at any time are “students,” as defined in Section 151(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), not entitled to an exemption under the Code. The determination of whether an individual or family is of low or moderate income will be made at the time the tenancy commences and on an ongoing basis thereafter, determined at least annually. If during their tenancy a Qualifying Tenant’s income exceeds one hundred forty percent (140%) of the maximum income qualifying as low or moderate income for a family of its size, the next available unit (determined in accordance with the Code and applicable regulations) (the “Next Available Unit Rule”) must be leased to a Qualifying Tenant or held vacant and available for occupancy by a Qualifying Tenant. If the Next Available Unit Rule is violated, the Unit will not continue to be treated as a Qualifying Unit. (b) Certification of Tenant Eligibility. As a condition to initial and continuing occupancy, each person who is intended to be a Qualifying Tenant will be required annually to sign and deliver to the Developer a Certification of Tenant Eligibility substantially in the form attached as EXHIBIT B hereto, or in any other form as may be approved by the Authority (the “Eligibility Certification”), in which the prospective Qualifying Tenant certifies as to qualifying as low or moderate income. In addition, the person will be required to provide whatever other information, documents, or certifications are deemed necessary by the Authority to substantiate the Eligibility Certification, on an ongoing annual basis, and to verify that the tenant
