Such purchaser or transferee (other than a renting household qualified under the City's affordable rental program) shall assume Your duties and obligations under this Covenant in writing in a form approved and provided by the City, prior to the transfer of the home. If the purchaser or transferee fails to assume this Covenant and execute and deliver the City's form of assumption agreement to the City prior )\ to the sale or transfer then the City shall have the option of treating such sale or transfer as null and void and the City may enforce any of its remedies as set forth below in this Covenant. Recording of the assumption agreement in the official deed records of Jackson County, Oregon, shall be a condition of the City's approval of the proposed transfer. You agree to pay a reasonable assumption fee to the City and to reimburse the City for its expenses incurred in administering its rights and obligations in connection with any transfer under this Covenant. Upon the close of any transfer, You agree to provide the City with copies of the recorded trust deed, final sales contract, settlement statement, escrow instructions, and any other documents prepared or used in connection with the transaction. 3. ExemDt and Qualified Transfers. Notwithstanding Section 2 above, if a transfer is either an "Exempt Transfer" or a "Qualified Transfer" as provided in this paragraph, such transfer shall not be considered a violation of this Covenant. 3.1 Exemot transfer. An "exempt transfer" is: 3.1.1 A taking of title by a surviving joint tenant; a court-ordered transfer of title to a spouse (or domestic oartner) as part of a dissolution proceeding; or an acquisition of title, or of any interest in the title, in conjunction with marriage, provided that as of the date of any of these types of exempt transfer the Home is then occupied by a Qualified Occupant. 3.1.2 A Permitted Mortgage (as defined below) encumbering the Home in an amount not greater than 10001'0 of the Affordable Purchase Price (as defined below) as of the date of the loan proceeds are advanced to You by the lender, provided that all of the proceeds over and above the amount necessary to payoff prior financing is used for the alteration or improvement of the Home such as landscaping, expansion, remodeling and the like. 3.2 Qualified Transfer. A "Qualified Transfer" is a transfer to a Qualified Occupant as their primary residence and either (a) a sale at a price that does not exceed the Affordable Price as of the date of this Covenant, plus the cost of Allowed Appreciation, as such terms are defined below, or (b) a rental or lease of the Home for an Affordable Rent (as defined below) as of the date of the date of such rental or lease. The term "Affordable Price" means the price which the City estimates will result in annual Home costs (principal, interest, property taxes, insurance, utilities and maintenance, and homeowner association dues) to be approximately thirty (30%) of the annual income for the target income level established by City of Ashland Resolution 2006-13. Affordable Rent means a monthly rent throughout the rental term that is no more than the maximum rents established by City of Ashland Resolution 2006-13. On such basis, the City has b determined that the Affordable Rent for the one bedroom Home targeted to households earning at or below 80% Area Median Income is $648.00 as of the date of this Covenant. The City makes no representation or warranty that You will be able to sell the Home for an Affordable Price or rent the Home for an Affordable Rent at any given time. Your ability to sell or rent the Home at any given time depends upon market conditions over which the City has no control. Improvements including replacement of the Home's original elements or any repairs even if the replacement materials are an upgrade from the original materials previously incorporated in the Home do not function to increase the Affordable Price beyond allowable appreciation. The term IIAllowed Appreciation" means the increase in the Affordable Price by the same percentage as the percentage increase in the Area Median Income in the City between the date of this Covenant and the Qualified Transfer. At least 30 days prior to occupancy by a purchaser, or at least 7 days prior to occupancy by a renter or lessee, You shall provide the documents and information to the City described in the following subsections for the purpose of qualifying the proposed transfer and determining the price or rent is an Affordable Price or Affordable Rent as the case may be, including: 3.2.1 The name, address and telephone number of all the proposed buyers or renters. 3.2.2 A financial statement from, and signed by, each proposed adult occupant (whether a purchaser or renter) in a form reasonably acceptable to the City and accompanied by such supporting documentation as requested by the City. The financial information will be used by the City to insure the proposed transfer is only to Qualified Occupants. 3.2.3 A copy of the proposed sale agreement or rental agreement and all related documents, which set forth the terms of the transfer. Upon any increase in rent, You must provide the City notice and evidence that the increased amount will continue to be an Affordable Rent consistent with the limits established in Resolution 2006-13; 3.2.4 A written certification to the City signed by each proposed adult occupant of the Home in a form acceptable to the City stating that: (a) The transfer shall be closed in accordance with the terms of the sales agreement or rental agreement and other documents submitted and approved by the City; (b) The proposed occupants will use the Home as their primary residence; and (c) The proposed occupants have not paid or caused anyone to ~ pay on their behalf to You or for Your benefit, and You have not received nor will You receive from any such person any other consideration for the proposed transfer other than the consideration disclosed to the City; 3.2.5 In the event that a transfer is made in violation of the terms of this Covenant, or that false or misleading statements are made in any documents or certifications submitted to the City, the City shall have the right to file a legal action to force the parties to terminate or rescind the transfer, or to declare the transfer void notwithstanding the fact that the transfer may have already occurred and become final as between the parties. 3.2.6 In the event that the City fails to respond to notice required under this section 3.2 within 30 calendar days of receipt of a notice of sale, or within 7 calendar days of receipt of a notice of lease, such purchaser or lessee is automatically deemed to be a Qualified Occupant; provided however, that the City's rights and remedies granted under section 3.2.5 above, or otherwise provided in other sections of this agreement, shall not be affected. 4. You Must Notify City of Transfer. If You desire to transfer the Home, You are required to notify City in writing to that effect. If the transfer is a Qualified Transfer, the notice and information provided must comply with the provisions of Section 3 of this Covenant. For any other transfer, the notice shall state the street address of the home, your full name or names, the address and telephone number at which you are to be contacted if not at the home. The notice shall be given at least 30 days prior to the transfer and shall be delivered as provided in paragraph 10. 5. Financina. 5.1 Permitted Mortaaae(s) Onlv.
