"Indemnitees" is defined in Section 10. "Regulations" means Title 25 of the California Code of Regulations. "Restricted Unit" means a dwelling unit which is reserved for occupancy at an Affordable Rent by a household of not more than a specified household income in accordance with and as set forth in Sections 2.1 and 2.2 and Exhibit B. "Very Low-Income" means an annual gross household income that is less than or equal to the qualifying limits for households of Very Low-Income, adjusted for actual household size, as determined periodically by HUD on the basis of gross annual household income, and published by HCD in the Regulations for Alameda County. If HUD ceases to make such determination, "Very Low-Income" shall be defined as not greater than fifty percent (50%) of Area Median Income adjusted for household size, as published by HCD in the Regulations. If both HCD and HUD cease to make such determinations, Agency in its reasonable discretion may designate another definition of "Very Low-Income" used by any other federal or state agency so long as such definition is no more restrictive than that set forth herein. 2.
