COLEMAJUlR Y\242308.5
I. Unless defined elsewhere in this Supplemental Indenture, initially-capitalized
terms shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in the Indenture.
2. Article IV of the Indenture is hereby amended by adding the following new
Section 4.06:
"Section 4.06. Purchase of Bonds in Lieu of Redemption. The Credit Facility
Provider shall have the right, in the event of a mandatory redemption of the Bonds
pursuant to Section 4.01(d) of this Indenture, to direct the Trustee to purchase the
Bonds in lieu of their redemption, at a Purchase Price equal to one hundred
percent (100%) of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest thereon to
the date of purchase. To exercise such right hereunder, the Credit Facility
Provider shall give written notice thereof to the Trustee, the Remarketing Agent
and the Borrower not less than four (4) Business Days prior to the redemption
date. Upon receipt of such written notice, such redemption date shall be deemed
to constitute a Demand Date, and the Trustee shall draw under the Letter of Credit
pursuant to Section 5.05(d) of this Indenture to effect a purchase of all Bonds
Outstanding, it being the intention of the Issuer that the Bonds remain
Outstanding after such purchase. Such Bonds so purchased at the direction of the
Credit Facility Provider shall be registered in the name of the Borrower and shall,
for all purposes under this Indenture, constitute Pledged Bonds. Such Pledged
Bonds, if not remarketed, shall be redeemed and canceled automatically, with no
further payment required in respect of such redemption, by the Trustee on the date
which is not later than five (5) years from the date of purchase, unless an opinion
of Bond Counsel is delivered to the Trustee to the effect that not redeeming and
canceling the Bonds will not adversely affect the tax-exempt status of the interest
on the Bonds for federal income tax purposes. Such Bonds shall remain Pledged
Bonds unless and until such Bonds are remarketed at the direction of the Credit
Facility Provider."
3. Section 7.01 of the Indenture is hereby amended by adding the following new
paragraph (g) immediately after paragraph (f) thereof:
"(g) the receipt by the Trustee of written notice from the Credit Facility Provider, within
eight (8) calendar days of an Interest Payment Date, that a Letter of Credit will not be
reinstated by an amount equal to funds drawn thereunder to pay interest due on the Bonds
on such Interest Payment Date."
4. The last two paragraphs of Section 7.01 of the Indenture are hereby amended to
read as follows:
"During the continuance of any other Event of Default, except an Event of Default
specified in (g) above, unless the principal of all of the Bonds shall have already become
due and payable, the Trustee may, and, upon the written request of the holders of not less
than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds at the time outstanding, the Trustee
shall, by notice in writing to the Issuer, the Remarketing Agent and the Credit Facility
Provider declare the principal of all Bonds then outstanding and the interest accrued
- 2 -
COLEMAJLIIRV\242308.5
thereon to be due and payable immediately, and, upon any such declaration, the same
shall become and shall be immediately due and payable, anything contained in this
Indenture or in the Bonds to the contrary notwithstanding. In addition, following the
occurrence of an Event of Default specified in (g) above, unless the principal of all of the
Bonds shall have already become due and payable, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing
to the Issuer, the Remarketing Agent and the Credit Facility Provider declare the
principal of all Bonds then outstanding and the interest accrued thereon to be due and
payable immediately, and, upon any such declaration, the same shall become and shall be
immediately due and payable, anything contained in this Indenture or in the Bonds to the
contrary notwithstanding. Upon any declaration of acceleration pursuant to this
paragraph, the Trustee shall fix a date for the payment ofthe Bonds, which date shall be
as soon as practicable after such declaration (and within five Business Days following
such declaration), and shall draw on the Credit Facility then outstanding in accordance
with their respective terms and Section 5.05(c) hereof and apply the amount so drawn to
pay on such date the principal of and interest on the Bonds so due and payable.
Notwithstanding the above, so long as a Credit Facility Provider has not denied any
properly presented request for a draw under its Credit Facility or delivered to the Trustee
the written notice described in (g) above, no action taken by the Bondholders or the
Trustee to accelerate the Bonds upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, except an
Event of Default specified in (g) above, shall be effective unless the written consent of
the such Credit Facility Provider shall first have been obtained.
The preceding paragraph, however, is subject to the condition that if, at any time after the
principal of the Bonds shall have been so declared due and payable (other than a
declaration following the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in (g) above), and
before any drawing is made under the Credit Facility or any judgment or decree for the
payment of the moneys due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided,
there shall have been deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all the principal
of the Bonds matured prior to such declaration and all matured installments of interest (if
any) upon all the Bonds, with interest on such overdue installments of principal, and the
reasonable expenses of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and any and all other defaults
known to the Trustee (other than in the payment of principal of and interest on the Bonds
due and payable solely by reason of such declaration) shall have been made good or
cured to the satisfaction of the Trustee or provision deemed by the Trustee to be
adequate shall have been made therefor, then, and in every such case, the holders of at
least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then outstanding, by prior
written notice to the Issuer and to the Trustee and with indemnification satisfactory to the
Trustee and with the prior written approval of the Credit Facility Provider may, on behalf
of the holders of all the Bonds, rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences
and waive such default (other than an Event of Default specified in (g) above); but no
such rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default, or
shall impair or exhaust any right or power consequent thereon."
5. The second sentence of Section 8.l3(c) of the Indenture is hereby amended to
read as follows:
- 3 -
COLEMAJL\IR V\242308.5
"A successor Remarketing Agent appointed at the direction of the Borrower with
notice to the Issuer and the Trustee of an instrument directing such removal and
appointment, signed by the Borrower, and consented to by the Credit Facility
Provider, and filed with the Issuer, the Remarketing Agent, the previous
Remarketing Agent and the Trustee."
6. This Supplemental Indenture may be executed in several counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same
instrument.
7. This Supplemental Indenture shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of California.
8. Except as specifically set forth in this Supplemental Indenture, the terms and
provisions of the Indenture are not altered, amended or modified hereby.

CERTAIN AMENDMENTS TO THE INDENTURE
The following is a brief summary of the First Supplemental Indenture executed in connection with
the delivery of the Letter of Credit. The summary does not purport to be complete or definitive and is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the First Supplemental Indenture, copies of which are onfile with
the Trustee.
Purchase of Bonds in Lieu of Redemption
Pursuant to the First Supplemental Indenture, the Credit Bank shall have the right, in the event of
a mandatory redemption of the Bonds at the direction of the Credit Bank upon an Event of Default under
the Credit Agreement, to direct the Trustee to purchase the Bonds in lieu of their redemption, at a
Purchase Price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest thereon to the date of
purchase. To exercise such right under the Indenture, the Credit Bank shall give written notice thereof to
the Trustee, the Remarketing Agent and the Borrower not less than four Business Days prior to the
redemption date. Upon receipt of such written notice, such redemption date shall be deemed to constitute
a Demand Date, and the Trustee shall draw under the Letter of Credit pursuant to the Indenture to effect a
purchase of all Bonds Outstanding, it being the intention of the Issuer that the Bonds remain Outstanding
after such purchase. Such Bonds so purchased at the direction of the Credit Bank shall be registered in
the name of the Borrower and shall, for all purposes under the Indenture, constitute Pledged Bonds. Such
Pledged Bonds, ifnot remarketed, shall be redeemed and canceled automatically, with no further payment
required in respect of such redemption, by the Trustee on the date which is not later than five years from
the date of purchase, unless an opinion of Bond Counsel is delivered to the Trustee to the effect that not
redeeming and canceling the Bonds will not adversely affect the tax-exempt status of the interest on the
Bonds for federal income tax purposes. Such Bonds shall remain Pledged Bonds unless and until such
Bonds are remarketed at the direction of the Credit Bank. .
Events of Default and Acceleration
Pursuant to the First Supplemental Indenture, the following Event of Default has been added to
the Events of Default set forth in the Original Indenture:
(g) the receipt by the Trustee of written notice from the Credit Bank, within eight
calendar days of an Interest Payment Date, that a Letter of Credit will not be reinstated by an
amount equal to funds drawn thereunder to pay interest due on the Bonds on such Interest
Payment Date.
During the continuance of any other Event of Default, except an Event of Default described in (g)
above, unless the principal of all of the Bonds shall have already become due and payable, the Trustee
may, and, upon the written request of the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of
the Bonds at the time outstanding, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the Issuer, the Remarketing
Agent and the Credit Bank declare the principal of all Bonds then outstanding and the interest accrued
3
. ,
thereon to be due and payable immediately, and, upon any such declaration, the same shall become and
shall be immediately due and payable, anything contained in the Indenture or in the Bonds to the contrary
notwithstanding. In addition, following the occurrence of an Event of Default described in (g) above,
unless the principal of all of the Bonds shall have already become due and payable, the Trustee shall, by
notice in writing to the Issuer, the Remarketing Agent and the Credit Bank declare the principal of all
Bonds then outstanding and the interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately, and, upon
any such declaration, the same shall become and shall be immediately due and payable, anything
contained in the Indenture or in the Bonds to the contrary notwithstanding. Upon any declaration of
acceleration as described in this paragraph, the Trustee shall fix a date for the payment of the Bonds,
which date shall be as soon as practicable after such declaration (and within five Business Days following
such declaration), and shall draw on the Letter of Credit then outstanding in accordance with their
respective terms and the Indenture and apply the amount so drawn to pay on such date the principal of
and interest on the Bonds so due and payable. Notwithstanding the above, so long as a Credit Bank has
not denied any properly presented request for a draw under its Letter of Credit or delivered to the Trustee
the written notice described in (g) above, no action taken by the Bondholders or the Trustee to accelerate
the Bonds upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, except an Event of Default specified in (g) above,
shall be effective unless the written consent of the such Credit Bank shall first have been obtained.
The preceding paragraph, however, is subject to the condition that if, at any time after the
principal of the Bonds shall have been so declared due and payable (other than a declaration following the
occurrence of an Event of Default specified in (g) above), and before any drawing is made under the
Letter of Credit or any judgment or decree for the payment of the moneys due shall have been obtained or
entered as provided in the Indenture, there shall have been deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to
pay all the principal of the Bonds matured prior to such declaration and all matured installments of
interest (if any) upon all the Bonds, with interest on such overdue installments of principal, and the
reasonable expenses of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and any and all other defaults known to the
Trustee (other than in the payment of principal of and interest on the Bonds due and payable solely by
reason of such declaration) shall have been made good or cured to the satisfaction of the Trustee or
provision deemed by the Trustee to be adequate shall have been made therefor, then, and in every such
case, the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then outstanding, by
prior written notice to the Issuer and to the Trustee and with indemnification satisfactory to the Trustee
and with the prior written approval of the Credit Bank may, on behalf of the holders of all the Bonds,
rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences and waive such default (other than an Event of
Defattit specified in (g) above); but no such rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any
subsequent default, or shall impair or exhaust any right or power consequent thereon.

Pursuant to the First Supplemental Indenture, the Credit Bank has the right to consent to
successor Remarketing Agents.

an adverse effect on the marketing price of the Bonds.

REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO
Variable Rate Demand Multifamily Housing Revenue Bonds
(Silverwood Apartments Project)
Series 1996
Ladies and Gentlemen:
The above-captioned Bonds were issued on May 21, 1996 pursuant to the provisions of the
Community Redevelopment Law (California Health and Safety Code Section 33000, et seq.), a
Resolution adopted by the Redevelopment Agency of the City of San Bernardino (the "Issuer") on April
I, 1996 and an Indenture of Trust dated as of May I, 1996 (the "Original Indenture") by and between the
Issuer and U.S. Bank Trust National Association (formerly, First Trust of California, National
Association), as trustee (the "Trustee"), for the purpose of providing funds to make a loan to Magellan
Silverwood & Cross Creek General Partnership, an Arizona general partnership (the "Original
Borrower") to assist the Original Borrower with the acquisition, rehabilitation and equipping of a
multifamily residential housing development for families and persons of low- and moderate-income
located in the City of San Bernardino known as the Silverwood Apartments and to pay the costs of
issuance of the Bonds (the "Project"). The Bonds were originally secured by an irrevocable direct-pay
letter of credit issued by Bank One, Arizona, NA (the "Bank One Letter of Credit").
The Internal Revenue Code of ] 986, as amended (the "Code") established certain requirements to
be met subsequent to the delivery of the Bonds in order that interest on the Bonds not be included in the
gross .income of the owners thereof retroactive to the date of issuance of the Bonds. In the opinion of
bond counsel delivered in connection with the issuance of the Bonds, the Original Indenture, the Loan
Agreement dated as of May I, 1996, by and between the Issuer, the Original Borrower and the Trustee
(the "Original Loan Agreemen('), the First Deed of Trust, Security Agreement, Assignment of Leases and
Rents and Financing Statement dated as of May I, 1996 (the "First Deed of Trust"), the Regulatory
Agreement and Declaration of Restrictive Covenants dated as of May I, 1996, among the Issuer, the
Trustee and the Original Borrower (the "Regulatory Agreement") and the No Arbitrage Certificate of the
Issuer and the Original Borrower dated as of May 21, 1996 (the "No Arbitrage Certificate") (the Original
Loan Agreement the First Deed of Trust, the Regulatory Agreement and the No Arbitrage Certificate
being hereinafter from time to time referred to collectively as the "Bond Documents") established
procedures under which, if followed, the requirements of the Code could be met. The Issuer and the
Original Borrower covenanted in the Original Indenture and in the Bond Documents to at all times do and
perform all acts and things permitted by law and necessary or desirable in order to assure that interest paid
on the Bonds not be included in gross income of the owners therefor for Federal income tax purposes.
As of the date hereof, the Project is being sold by the Original Borrower to San Bernardino
328/AF XXX, LLC, a California limited liability company (the "Borrower") and the Bank One Letter of
Credit is being replaced by an irrevocable direct-pay letter of credit issued by Wells Fargo Bank, National
Association (the "Letter of Credit"). In connection with the delivery of the Letter of Credit, the Issuer and
the Trustee have executed a First Supplemental Indenture dated as of September 1, 2001 (the "First
Supplemental Indenture" and, together with the Original Indenture, the "Indenture") pursuant to the
provisions of Article IX of the Indenture and the Issuer, the Trustee and the Borrower have executed a
First Amendment to Loan Agreement dated as of September 1, 2001 (the "First Amendment to Loan
Agreement"). In addition, the Borrower has delivered to the Issuer a fully executed Assumption
Agreement dated as of the date hereof (the "Assumption Agreement") pursuant to which the Borrower
has assumed all duties and obligations of the Borrower under the Regulatory Agreement.
We have acted as Bond Counsel to the Issuer in connection with the sale of the Project to the
Borrower and in connection with the amendments to the Original Indenture and Original Loan Agreement
effectuated by the First Supplemental Indenture and the First Amendment to Loan Agreement,
respectively.
In rendering this opinion, we have assumed compliance by the Issuer and the Original Borrower
with, and enforcement by the Issuer and Original Borrower of the provisions of, the Bond Documents, as
applicable. We have examined original documents or copies certified or otherwise identified to our
satisfaction of: (i) the Original Indenture; (ii) the Original Loan Agreement; (iii) the First Supplemental
Indenture; (iv) the First Amendment to Loan Agreement; (v) the Assumption Agreement and (vi) that
certain Resolution of the Community Development Commission of the City of San Bernardino, as the
Governing Body of the Redevelopment Agency of the City of San Bernardino, adopted September 17,
200 I. We have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of documents, certificates and
records submitted to us as originals, the conformity to the originals of all documents, certificates and
records submitted to us as certified or reproduction copies, the legal capacity of all natural persons
executing documents, certificates and records and the completeness and accuracy as of the date of this
opinion letter of the information contained in such documents, certificates and records, which assumption
we have not independently verified. We have not undertaken to independently verify the accuracy of the
factual matters represented, warranted or certified in such documents.
Based upon the foregoing and such other matters of law as we have deemed necessary, we are of
the opinion that the sale of the Project to the Borrower will not adversely affect the exclusion of the
interest on the Bonds from gross income for federal income tax purposes. We are further of the opinion
that the First Supplemental Indenture is authorized and permitted by the Indenture. We are finally of the
opinion that delivery of the Letter of Credit complies with the provisions of the Original Indenture and the
Original Loan Agreement and will not cause interest on the Bonds to become includable in gross income
for federal income tax purposes.
Very truly yours,
B-2
