Dennis Zaragoza, Esq. (SBN 084217) Law OFFICES OF DENNIS ZARAGOZA P.O. Box 15128 San Francisco, CA 94115 Telephone: (510) 375-7238 e-mail: lawzarsf@gmail.com Attorney for Defendant IRIS CANADA ELECTRONICALLY FILED Supertor Court of California, County of San Francisco 10/21/2016 Clerk of the Court BY:BOWMAN LIU Deputy Clerk SUPERIOR COURT OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO — UNLIMITED PETER M. OWENS, an individual, CASE NO. CGC-14-543437 CAROLYN A. RADISCH, an individual, STEPHEN L. OWENS, an individual, DECLARATION OF DENNIS ZARAGOZA IN SUPPORT OF STAY PENDING APPEAL Plaintiffs, — CCP Sec. 917.4 v. Date: November 1, 2016 Time: 2 p.m. Dept. 502 IRIS CANADA, an individual, OLD Judge: Hon. A. James Robertson If REPUBLIC TITLE COMPANY, and Does 1 to 10, inclusive, Defendants. I, DENNIS ZARAGOZA, declare: 1 J am an attorney at law licensed to practice before the courts of the State of California, and am attorney of record for Defendant Iris Canada. 2. I substituted into this case as counsel of record on June 8, 2016. 3. Those records attached to Defendant Iris Canada’s Request for Judicial Notice are true and correct copies as taken from the online services or my records. 4, In connection with my investigation of this case, I requested a copy of those documents that the Plaintiffs were requesting that Iris Canada sign. My request for the documents was sent to Mr, Chernev on June 16, 2016, On June 28, 2016, he responded by sending me three Declaration of Dennis Zaragoza re: Motion for Staydocuments by e-mail. True and correct copies of those documents as well as the e-mail communications have been marked as Exhibit A to this Declaration, One of the documents in question is an “Owner Affidavit,” which basically would require to state that Iris Canada is “an owner” of the property, under penalty of perjury, when this statement is not true. One of the other documents is titled “Applicant Statement.” Like the first document, this document must also be signed under penalty of perjury and identifies the signer as an owner of the property. (Page 2 of “Applicant Statement.) The third document again identifies Iris Canada as a “Property Owner.” Iris Canada is not an owner of the property. She is or was an owner of a life estate. 5. Given the claimed damages of $600 in waste as compared to the attorney’s fees incurred, in my opinion, the amount of attorney’s fees incurred are completely out of proportion to the damages. It serves no business purpose to spend money in this fashion unless there is a second agenda. In my opinion, the purpose of this lawsuit has been to compel Iris Canada to sign documents that would cause her to perjure herself and waive her right of first refusal. I declare the foregoing to be true under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of alifornia. Executed this 20" day of October, 2016, at San Francisco, California. (BD.

Owens and Carolyn A. Radisch, Stephen L. Owens, Michel Bechirian and Niloo Tehranchi, Alexander E. Apke and Ana M. Munoz, Spencer K. Jones, Geoffrey Pierce Christopher Beahn and Christine Han Beahn, Iris Canada » (“Property Owner(s)”) with respect to the condominium conversion approved for the real property located at 668-678 Page Street as more particularly described in Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Property”) specifically relating to Unit(s) 672 [Insert description of affected Lifetime Lease Unit(s)]. Property Owner(s) also refers to all Owners of fee title interest in the Property. City and Property Owner(s) are also sometimes referred to individually as a “Party” and together as the “Parties.” RECITALS This Agreement is made with reference to the following facts: A. Code Authorization. dd) On June 18, 2013, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors finally passed Ordinance No. 117-13 adopting the Condominium Conversion Fee and Expedited Conversion Program, San Francisco Subdivision Code Section 1396.4 (the “Program”). The Program permits property owners of apartments to convert the units in their building to condominiums under certain conditions. The Program suspends the City’s 200-unit annual cap on condominium. conversions and exempts property owners from the lottery process, under certain conditions. The lottery process had resulted in property owners experiencing a wait of up to nine years to convert to condominiums. The Program provides for an expedited conversion process that allows conversions to occur as soon as the building meets all required criteria for eligibility. In addition, Ordinance No. 117-13 provides for a refund of a portion of the condominium conversion fee for each unit in a building subject to a lifetime lease with a higher percentage of fee reduction available if a larger number of units are subject to a lifetime lease. 1 Agreement Pursuant to Subdivision Code Section 1396.4(2) Chapter 4.3 of the California Government Code directs public agencies to grant concessions and incentives to private developers for the production of housing for lower income households. The Costa-Hawkins Rental Housing Act (California Civil Code Sections 1954.50 et seq., hereafier “Costa-Hawkins Act”) imposes limitations on the establishment of the initial and all subsequent rental rates for a dwelling unit with a certificate of occupancy issued after February 1, 1995, with exceptions, including an exception for dwelling units constructed pursuant to a contract with a public entity in consideration for a direct financial contribution or any other form of assistance specified in Chapter 4.3 of the California Government Code (Section 1954.52(b)). Pursuant to Civil Code Section 1954.52(b), the City’s Board of Supervisors has enacted as part of the Program, procedures and requirements for entering into an agreement with a private property owner to memorialize the direct financial contributions, and concessions and incentives granted to the property owner within the exception to the Costa- Hawkins Act for the Lifetime Lease Unit included in the Property. @G) The Ellis Act (Government Code Section 7060 et seq., hereafter the “Ellis Act”) allows landlords who comply with its terms to go out of the rental business by evicting their tenants and withdrawing all units in a property from the rental market. By its terms, the Ellis Act does not apply to condominium units. The Ellis Act also provides an exception to its terms where a public entity enters into a contract or agreement with the owner to provide rental housing in exchange for a direct financial contribution. Pursuant to Government Code Section 7060.1(a), the City’s Board of Supervisors has enacted as part of the Program, procedures that, should the Ellis Act be deemed to even apply to the Property, require entering into an agreement with a private property owner to memorialize the direct financial contribution granted to the property owner within the exception to the Ellis Act for the Lifetime Lease Unit included in the Property. B. Development Proposal; Intent of the Parties. The Property is owned in fee by Property Owner. Property Owner proposes to convert 6 _ [number of units] units in the Property to condominium units under the provisions of the Program. Under the terms of the Program, as a condition of development approval of the conversion of the Property, the Property Owner will provide a lifetime lease to an existing tenant in 1 [insert number of units] unit(s) (the “Lifetime Lease Unit(s)”). The Department of Public Works conditional tentative approval of the parcel or subdivision map for the Property allowed, without participation in a lottery process, conversion of the units in the Property, including the Lifetime Lease Unit through the expedited provisions in the Program. The dwelling units that are the subject of this Agreement are the Lifetime Lease Unit(s). The Lifetime Lease Unit(s) are more specifically described as: 672 . The dwelling units in the Property that are not Lifetime Lease Units, are referred to herein as the “Market Rate Units”. This Agreement is not intended to impose restrictions on the Market Rate Units or any portions of the Property other than the Lifetime Lease Units. The Parties acknowledge that this Agreement is entered into in consideration of the respective burdens and benefits of the Parties contained in this Agreement and in reliance on their agreements, representations and warranties. Cc. Lifetime Lease Provision of the Program. The Condominium Conversion Fee and Expedited Conversion Program provides that property owners seeking to convert to condominiums under the Program must offer a lifetime lease to any existing tenants who do not purchase their unit under terms and conditions set forth in Subdivision Code Section 1396.4. 2 Agreement Pursuant to Subdivision Code Section 1396.4The Program provides that the City and property owner shall enter into a binding agreement documenting the requirements of the Program. The Parties hereby enter into this agreement with the City and County of San Francisco pursuant to Chapter 4.3 of the California Government Code for a direct financial contribution and concessions and incentives, and under Government Code Section 7060.1 for a direct financial contribution pursuant to which the property owner covenants to provide the Lifetime Lease Units to satisfy the requirements of the Program and in consideration of the City’s direct financial contribution to the Property Owner and concessions and incentives. Dz. Property Owner’s Election to Convert Through the Program. Property Owner has elected to enter into this Agreement to obtain the benefits and fee reduction provided under the Program in exchange for agreeing to provide the Lifetime Lease Units and acknowledging an exception to the Costa-Hawkins Act and, if applicable, the Ellis Act for the Lifetime Lease Units only. E. Compliance with All Legal Requirements. It is the intent of the Parties that all acts referred to in this Agreement shall be accomplished in such a way as to fully comply with Chapter 4.3 of the California Government Code, the Costa-Hawkins Act, the Ellis Act, the San Francisco Subdivision Code, and all other applicable laws and regulations. AGREEMENT The Parties acknowledge the receipt and sufficiency of good and valuable consideration and agree as follows: 1. GENERAL PROVISIONS 11 Incorporation of Recitals and Exhibits. The preamble paragraph, Recitals, and Exhibits, and all defined terms contained therein, are hereby incorporated into this Agreement as if set forth in full. 2. DIRECT FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTION AND CONCESSIONS AND INCENTIVES FOR THE LIFETIME LEASE UNITS. 2.1 Direct__ Financial Contributions _and__Concessions _and_Incentives. On [date], DPW issued tentative approval for the condominium conversion for the Property through which the Property Owner will receive the following direct financial contribution and concessions and incentives for the provision of the Lifetime Lease Unit: 2.1.1 Payment. In recognition of the rental requirements of Subdivision Code Section 1396.4(g), the City hereby will provide a fee rebate for each unit in which a non- purchasing tenant resides at the time specified by the Program who is offered a lifetime lease and is unrelated by blood, marriage, or domestic partnership to any owner of the building as follows: [insert amount: one Lifetime Lease Unit, 10% fee reduction; two Lifetime Lease Unit, 20% fee reduction for each unit; three Lifetime Lease Unit, 30% fee reduction for each unit.] which equal $ [insert dollar amount]. Agreement Pursuant to Subdivision Code Section 1396.42.1.2 Financial Benefits, Concessions, and Incentives, Granted Through Conversion. Property owner acknowledges that the Program allows it to convert sooner, in some cases up to 6 years or more, at lower mortgage rates applicable to condominiums than the prior lottery system that existing under the San Francisco Subdivision Code.

The Development Impact Fee report prepared by Keyser Marston Associates, dated January 2011 demonstrates a 15% increase in value per unit associated with condominium ownership over other forms of ownership.
