This site, consists of five (5) parcels, of which two (2) parcels contain the 4,400 seat, 20 screen cinema complex and three (3) parcels marked 3, 4 and 5 on the attached map are presently improved with landscaping improvements (the "Agency Property"). The Agency Property was intended to be used for an entertainment district featuring specialty restaurants. On June 5, 2006, the Agency entered into a Redevelopment Project Study Agreement ("Agreement") with ICO Fund V, LLC (the "Developer"), which would enable the Developer to study the Agency Property ultimately leading to a Disposition and Development Agreement ("DDA") between the Agency and the Developer. The Agreement was for a period of four (4) months with a two (2) month extension. During this period, the Developer received Letters of Intent ("LOI") from the Starbucks Coffee Company as the major tenant followed by Quizno's and Coldstone Creamery. The Developer has submitted all the project study components including the feasibility study and project descriptions to the Agency, in a timely manner, as required under the terms of the Agreement. The Developer has posted a non-refundable deposit of $5,000 with the Agency which will be applied to the site purchase pnce. CURRENT ISSUE: Three and a half (3 Y2) months into the Agreement, Starbucks decided to concentrate on another site in downtown and retracted their LOI resulting in the other tenants following suit. Starbucks will now be building a new prototype store on the southwest comer of 2nd and "F" Streets in downtown San Bernardino. The Developer set about securing another anchor tenant and received some initial interest from The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf ("Coffee Bean"). The Agreement was extended by the Executive Director of the Agency for another two (2) months as authorized in the Agreement to allow the Developer to finalize the new terms with Coffee Bean. The Developer has since received an LOI from Coffee Bean and the other two (2) food operators. However, two (2) months is a very short time to agree to all the final terms of the leases and without the leases in place, the Developer is unable to enter into a DDA with the Agency by the present termination date of December 18, 2006. Furthermore, the Developer needs to show evidence that he has control of the Agency Property in order to obtain the necessary lease commitments from these tenants and has therefore requested an amendment to the Agreement extending the Agreement for an additional four (4) months ("Amendment No.1") to April 16, 2007, ultimately leading to the consideration of a final DDA by the Commission.

Amendment CDC Rcso.doc e- e e AMENDMENT NO.1 TO THE REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT STUDY AGREEMENT BY AND BETWEEN THE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO AND ICO FUND V, LLC THIS AMENDMENT NO. I TO THE REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT STUDY AGREEMENT (this "Amendment No. I") is dated as of December 4, 2006, by and between rco Fund V, LLC (the "Developer"), a California limited liability company and the Redevelopment Agency of the City of San Bernardino (the "Agency"), a public body, corporate and politic, and is entered into in light of the facts set forth in the following Recital paragraphs: -- RECITALS -- A. The Agency is the owner of the CinemaStar complex site at the northwest corner of 4th and "E" Streets in the downtown area within the Central City North Redevelopment Project Area which consists of five (5) lots, two (2) of which contain the cinema complex and three (3) of which are available for development (the "Agency Lots"). B. The Developer and the Agency have previously entered into an agreement entitled "Redevelopment Project Study Agreement", dated as of June 5, 2006, and having an Effective Date of June 16, 2006 (the "Agreement"), to develop the Agency Lots into a restaurant complex featuring such tenants as Starbucks, Quizno's and Cold Stone Creamery. C. During the period of the Agreement, the Developer agreed to undertake certain redevelopment studies pertaining to the "Agency Lots", as this term is defined in the Recitals of the Agreement, so as to foster the community economic development goals and objectives of the City of San Bernardino (the "City"). D. During the period of the Agreement, the Developer agreed to submit to the Agency a detailed financial pro-forma of the Project, Project description and letters of intent ("LOI") from the above named tenants as set forth in Recital B above. E. During the period of the Agreement, the Developer has performed diligently in order to carry out and submit all required documentation, as required pursuant to the Agreement, to the Agency in a timely manner. F. The Developer has, however, experienced unforeseen delays brought about by the retraction of the LOI by Starbucks, the initially proposed anchor tenant, a situation which the Developer has sought to rectify in an expeditious manner as possible by recruiting an alternative anchor tenant, namely the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf Company. G. These unforeseen circumstances have, nevertheless, caused the Project schedule to be delayed from that as specified in the Agreement.
