a debt of the City of San Bernardino, the State of California or any
of its political subdivisions, and neither said City, said State nor
any of its pOlitical subdivisions is liable on them, nor in any
event shall the Bonds, interest thereon and premium, if any, be

the Bonds are liable personally on the Bonds by reason of their
issuance.
The validity of the Bond~ is not and shall not be dependent

made provision to pay upon maturity or upon redemption prior to
maturity, to the Holders of the Bonds, the principal of, premium, if
any, and interest to become due thereon, through setting aside trust
funds or setting apart in a reserve fund or special trust account
created pursuant to this Resolution or otherwise, or through the
irrevocable segregation for that purpose in some sinking fund or
other fund or trust account with the City Treasurer or Fiscal Agent
or otherwise, moneys sufficient therefor, including, but not limited
to, interest earned or to be earned on Federal Securities, then the
lien of this Resolution, including, without limitation, the pledge
of the Revenues, and all other rights granted hereby, shall
thereupon cease, terminate and become void and be discharged and
satisfied, and the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on
the Bonds shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding and unpaid;
provided, however, that nothing in this Resolution shall require the
deposit of more than such Federal Securities as may be sufficient,
taking into account both the principal amount of such Federal
Securities and the interest to become due thereon, to implement any
refunding of the Bonds. In such event, the City Treasurer or Fiscal
Agent shall cause an accounting for such period or periods as shall
be requested by the City to be prepared and filed with the City, and
the City Treasurer or Fiscal Agent, upon the request of the City,
shall release the rights of the Bondholders under this Resolution
and execute and deliver to the City all such instruments as may be
desirable to evidence such release, discharge and satisfaction, and
the Fiscal Agent shall pay over or deliver to the City all moneys or
securities held by it pursuant to this Resolution which are not
required for the payment or redemption of Bonds not theretofore
surrendered for such payment or redemption. As used in this
paragraph, "Federal Securities" means those described in

numerical order commencing with aile (1) upwards and shall be dated
as of the Date of the Bonds, and shall bear the date of
authenticat ion thereon; provided, however, that no Bond sha 11 be

authentication on any Bond shall be deemed to have been duly
executed if signed by an authorized officer of the Fiscal Agent, but
it shall not be necessary that the same officer sign the certificate
of authentication on all of the fully registered Bonds that may be

redeemed will be made by the City Treasurer in accordance with the
1984 Act and the 1915 Act. In selecting a Bond for retirement, the
lowest Bond number of the annual series midway to the end of the
Bond term will be chosen. Successive Bonds will be chosen from the
lowest number of each annual series, before and after the series
from which the first Bond number is selected, so that Bond called

that the relationship of unpaid assessments to Bonds outstanding be
altered in as minimal amount as practicable by such call and
redemption of Bonds.

B. Call and Redemption. The City may (and, if required
by Section 15 hereof, shall) by resolution direct the call and

days prior to the redemption date, to the original purchaser(s) of
the Bonds (or in the case of a syndicate, to the manager thereof)
and to all Bondholders as set forth on the registration books of the
Fiscal Agent; but neither failure to mail such notice nor any defect
in any notice so mailed shall affect the sufficiency of the
providing as for the redemption of any of the Bonds. The notice of
redemption shall (a) state the redemption date; (b) state the
redemption price; (c) state the numbers of the Bonds to be redeemed;
provided, however, that whenever any call includes all of the
outstanding Bonds, the numbers of the Bonds need not be stated;

place or places of redemption; (e) state, as to any fully registered
Bonds redeemed in part only, the registered bond numbers and the
principal portion thereof to be redeemed; and (f) state that
interest on the principal portion of the Bonds so designated for
redemption shall cease to accrue from and after such redemption date
and that on said date there shall become due and payable on each of
such Bonds the redemption price thereof. Such notice shall be
deemed to have been waived if such notice shall have been mailed by
registered or certified mail to each registered owner of such Bonds
at his address as it appears on the register or at such address as
he may have filed with the Fiscal Agent for that purpose.
The actual receipt by the Holder of any Bond of notice of
such redemption shall not be a condition precedent to redemption,
and failure to receive such notice shall not affect the validity of
the proceedings for the redemption of the Bonds or the cessation of
interest on the redemption date. Notice of redemption of "Bonds
shall be given by the Fiscal Agent for and on behalf of the City at
the expense of the City.

the completion of all improvements and the payment of all claims)
pursuant to said resolution. Such moneys shall be used, to the
extent practicable as hereinafter determined in subsection B(2), for
the refunding of the 1985 Bonds and, for such purpose, shall be
deposited into the Escrow Fund; provided, however, that any surplus

provided in Section 10427.1 of the Streets and Highways Code of the
State of California or as otherwise provided in Section 10427 of the
Streets and Highways Code of the State of California.

purchasers thereof, and (ii) all moneys from the City Treasurer or
fiscal agent or agents for the 1985 Bonds as provided in
subsection A above, and shall dispose of such proceeds and moneys as
follows:
(1) Accrued interest and premium, if any, paid by the
purchasers of the Bonds shall be deposited by the City Treasurer in

account the interest to be earne'd on any investments in Federal
Securities as allowed by the applicable Treasury Regulations, to
implement the refunding of the 1985 Bonds shall be deposited by the
Fiscal Agent, as Escrow Bank, in the Escrow Fund for the purchase of
the Federal Securities described in the Escrow Agreement and to

1987, and provide for the call and redemption, together with the
applicable premium, if any, on or before the respective maturity
dates of the 1985 Bonds, and all expenses incident thereto and
to the issuance of the Bonds), taking into account both the
principal amount of such Federal Securities and the interest to
become due thereon. Using such calculations, an amount in the
Escrow Fund equal to the amount of such Federal Securities
which, together with cash, if any, is necessary to implement the
refunding, shall be used by the City for the acquisition of such
Federal Securities. To the extent required by law (as

Section 11 hereof. The Escrow Bank shall withdraw moneys from
the Escrow Fund in suff icient amount and time to permit the

for any reason the amount in the Escrow Fund shall at any time
be insufficient to carry out the purposes of its establishment,
the City Treasurer shall forthwith transfer the appropriate
amount from the Reserve Fund to the Escrow Bank, who shall
deposit the same into the Escrow Fund. If, for any reason, the
calculations above required are delayed or some amounts have
been inadvertently used incorrectly, the City shall cause
calculations to be diligently made or remade, as the case may
be, as soon as possible after issuance and delivery of the Bonds
and the appropriate adjustments, transfers or additions shall be
made. The Fiscal Agent shall have no responsibility for the
correctness of the calculations.

as to the real property located within the District in accordance
with the 1984 Act, and shall be the sole source of funds pledged by
the Ci ty for the payment of the principa 1 of, premium, if any, and
interest on the Bonds.
The Revenues are hereby irrevocably pledged for the payment
of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds, as
in this Resolution provided, and until all of the Bonds, and all
interest thereon, have been paid (or until moneys for that purpose
have been irrevocably set aside) the Revenues shall be applied
solely to the payment of the Bonds and the interest thereon as in
this Resolution provided. Such pledge is for the exclusive benefit
of the Holders of the Bonds and shall be irrevocable.
The Bonds as issued hereunder and the payment of the
reassessments for the debt service obligations on the Bonds, which
reassessments are filed with respect to the District, together with
interest on the Bonds, shall remain and constitute a trust fund for
the redemption and payment of the Bonds and the interest thereon.
Section 15.
Deposits of Revenues into Funds.
(a) Redempt ion Fund. All Revenues sha 11 be depos i ted by
the City Treasurer in the Redemption Fund. The interest on the
Bonds until maturity shall be paid by the Fiscal Agent from the
Redemption Fund. At the maturity of the Bonds, and, after all
interest then due on the Bonds then outstanding has been paid or
provided for, moneys in the Redemption Fund shall be applied to the
payment of the principal of any of such Bonds.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and for
the purpose of assuring that the payments referred to above will be
made as scheduled, the Revenues a'ccumulated in the Redemption Fund
shall be used in the following priority:
(i) for the payment of interest on the Bonds as the
same become due; and
(i i) for the payment of principal on the Bonds as the
same become due; and
- 22 -
(iii) in the event of any advanced maturity and in the
event that the City Treasurer has sufficient surplus moneys in
other funds of the City or there are surplus moneys on deposit
in the Redemption Fund for such retirement, for the payment of
any redemption premium, if any, for the Bonds; provided,
however, that the City shall not be obligated to advance
available funds from the City treasury to cure any deficiency
that may occur in the Redemption Fund but that the City may, in
its sole discretion, so advance such funds to cure any such
deficiency.
(iv) The Fiscal Agent, at the direction of the City,
may purchase bonds on the open market, on behalf of the City, at
any time at a price not to exceed the principal amount of the
Bonds plus the applicable premium and accrued interest, if any,
to the date of purchase plus brokerage fees, if any.
(v) The City Director of Finance or other such
authorized officer of the City is hereby di rected and
authorized, upon the written request of City Treasurer to
establish and thereafter maintain and employ the payment and
accounting procedures to be used by the City in connection with
the District, including, without limitation, accounting for
deposits and withdrawals into and out of the redemption fund,
the Reserve Fund and the Issuance Expense Fund as is City
Director of Finance.
(b) Reserve Fund. Pursuant to the 1984 Act, the 1915 Act
and the Resolution of Intention, as subject to the arbitrage
provisions of Section 148(d) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
the Reserve Fund in the amount equal to the Reserve Requirement will
be established from the proceeds of the sale of the Bonds. The
Reserve Fund will constitute a trust fund for the benefit of the
Holders of the Bonds. The Reserve Fund will be maintained, used,
transferred, reimbursed and liquidated as follows:
(i) Whenever there are insufficient funds in the
Redemption Fund to pay the next maturing installment of principal of
or interest on the Bonds, an amount necessary to make up such
deficiency will be transferred by the City Treasurer from the
Reserve Fund, to the extent of available funds, to the Redemption
Fund. The amounts so advanced will be reimbursed from the proceeds
of redemption or sale of the parcels for which payment of delinquent
installments of reassessments and interest thereon or real property
taxes has been made from the Reserve Fund. In the event that there
is a deficiency in the Redemption Fund to pay the principal of and
interest on the outstanding Bonds, the Fiscal Agent, on behalf of
the City, shall pay to the Holders of such outstanding and unpaid
Bonds a proportionate share of the Bonds as the amount of money on
deposit in the Redemption Fund bears to the total amount of the
unpaid principal of the Bonds and the interest which has accrued or
will accrue thereon. Thereafter, as moneys representing payments of
- 23 -
reassessments are periodica lly deposi ted by the City Treasurer into
the Redemption Fund, similar proportionate payments shall be made by
the Fiscal Agent, on behalf of the City, to the Holders of the
Bonds. In the event that the Reserve Fund is completely depleted
from such advances and prior to reimbursement from resales of
property or delinquency redemptions, payments to the Holders of the
Bonds will be dependent upon reimbursement of the Reserve Fund.
(ii) If any reassessment is prepaid prior to the final
maturity of the Bonds, the amount of principal of the reassessment
to be prepaid will be reduced by an amount which will be determined
by multiplying the then current balance of the Reserve Fund by the
percentage which the original unpaid amount of the Prepaid
Assessment is to the total amount of the original unpaid
reassessment on all land in the District. The reduction in the
amount of principal prepaid shall be compensated for by a transfer
of a like amount from the Reserve Fund to the Redemption Fund.
(iii) Investment income from the Reserve Fund will
remain in the Reserve Fund to the extent necessary to restore the
balance therein to the Reserve Requirement which is an amount equal
to ten percent (10%) of the original proceeds of the Bonds, less any
reduction in the Reserve Fund as a result of the application of
subparagraph (ii) hereof. If at any time the amount of any income
realized from the investment of the money in the Reserve Fund plus
the remaining principal amount thereof exceeds the Reserve
Requirement, such excess shall be apportioned to each parcel upon
which a reassessment remains unpaid and credited against the next
installment or installments due thereon.
(iv) When the balance in the Reserve Fund is
sufficient to retire all Outstanding Bonds (whether by advance
retirement or otherwise), the amount of the Reserve Fund will be
transferred to the Redemption Fund, the remaining installments of
principal and interest not yet due from reassessed property owners
will be cancelled without payment and the Reserve Fund shall be
liquidated upon the retirement of the Bonds.
(v) In the event that the balance in the Reserve Fund
at the time of liquidation exceeds the amount necessary to retire
all Outstanding Bonds, the excess shall be apportioned to each
parcel upon which the individual reassessment remained unpaid at the
time the balance in the Reserve Fund was equal to the amount
necessary to retire all of the Outstanding Bonds. The payments
shall be made in cash to the r-especti ve owners of the parcels;
provided, however, that if the excess is less than one thousand
dollars ($1,000) such excess may be transferred by the City
Treasurer for deposit in the General Fund of the City.
Section 16. Deposi t and Investment of Moneys in Funds.
Subject to the provisions of Covenant 9 of Section 17 hereof, all.'
moneys held by the City in the Redemption Fund and in the Reserve
- 24 -
Fund, except such moneys which are at the time invested, shall, if
the same are held in time or demand deposits in any bank or trust
company authorized to accept deposits of pUblic funds (including the
banking department of the Fiscal Agent), be secured at all times by
bonds or other obligations which are authorized by law as security
for public deposits, of a market value at least equal to the amount
required by law. Moneys in the Redemption Fund and in the Reserve
Fund shall be invested by the City Treasurer as provided by law and
subject to the following restrictions:
(a) Moneys in the Redemption Fund shall be invested only
in obligations of the type or types and which wi 11 by thei r terms
mature on such dates as to ensure that before each Interest Payment
Date there will be in such Fund, from matured obligations and other
moneys already in such Fund, cash equal to the principal and
interest payable on such date, all as may be recommended from time
to time by the opinion of an Independent Financial Consultant
appointed by the City.
(b) Moneys in the Reserve Fund may be temporarily invested
in any authorized investments pursuant to Article I (commencing with
Section 53600) of Chapter 4 of Part 1 of Title 5 of the Government
Code, or in any authorized investments pursuant to law in the case
of money resulting from reassessments levied for the Bonds,
provided, however, that such investments shall be of the type or
types and which will by their terms mature on such date or dates
which shall not be later than the date on which the money may be
required for the Redemption Fund pursuant to the 1915 Act, all as
may be recommended from time to time by the opinion of an
Independent Financial Consultant appointed by the City.
Obligations purchased as an investment of moneys in any of

This Bond is one of several serial maturities of Bonds of
like date, tenor, and effect, but differing in registered amounts,
maturities, and interest rates, issued by the City under the Act and
the Resolution of Issuance, for the purpose of redeeming the
$13,400,000 City of San Bernardino, Improvement Bonds, Assessment
District No. 961, Series 1985 (Park Centre) (the "1985 Bonds") as
described in the proceedings, and is secured by the moneys in the
Redemption Fund established under the Resolution of Issuance and by
the unpaid portion of the reassessments which shall be levied or
issued upon the properties within the District, and, including
principal and interest, is payable exclusively out of said
Redemption Fund.
This Bond is transferable by the registered owner hereof,
in person or by the owner's attorney duly authorized in writing, at
the office of the Fiscal Agent, subject to the terms and conditions
provided in the Resolution of Issuance, including the payment of
certain charges, if any, upon surrender and cancellation of this
Bond. Upon such transfer, a new registered Bond or Bonds, of any
authorized denomination or denominations, of the same maturity, for
the same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the transferee
in exchange therefor.
The Bonds shall be registered only in the name of an
individual (including joint owners), a corporation, a partnership,
or a trust.
Neither the Fiscal Agent or any successor issuing agency
nor any registration agent shall be required to make such exchange
or registration of transfer of Bonds from the sixteenth (16th) day
of the month preceding any Interest Payment Date and such Interest

If less than the entire amount of a Bond is redeemed, a
Bond representing the unredeemed portion shall be reissued to the
registered owner thereof. Determination of which Bond or Bonds are
to be redeemed will be made by the City Treasurer in accordance with
the Act. In selecting a Bond for retirement, the lowest Bond number
of the annual series midway to the end of the Bond term will be
chosen. Successive Bonds will be chosen from the lowest number of
each annual series, before and after the series from which the first
Bond number is selected, so that Bonds called will be a pro rata
portion of each annual series. It is intended that the relationship
of unpaid reassessments to Bonds outstanding be altered in as
minimal amount as practicable by such call and redemption of Bonds.
The actual receipt by the Holder of any Bond (as defined in
the Resolution of Issuance) of notice of such redemption shall not
be a condition precedent to redemption, and failure to receive such
notice shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the
redemption of the Bonds or the cessation of interest on the
redemption date. Notice of redemption of Bonds shall be given by
the Fiscal Agent for and on behalf of the City at the expense of the
City.
The Revenues shall be those amounts received by the City as
payment of the reassessment levied as to the real property located
within the District in accordance with the Act, and shall be the
so le source of funds pledged by the Ci ty for the payment of the
principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds.
The Resolution of Issuance, and the rights and obligations
of the City and of the Holders of the Bonds issued thereunder, may
be modified or amended at any time by supplemental resolution
adopted by the City: (a) without the consent of Bondholders (as
defined in the Resolution of Issuance), if such modification or
amendment is for the purpose of curing any ambiguities, defects or
inconsistent provisions in the Resolution of Issuance or to insert
such provisions clarifying matters or questions arising under the
Resolution of Issuance as are necessary and desirable to accomplish
the same, provided that such modifications or amendments do not
adversely affect the rights of the Bondholders, as shown by an
Opinion of Counsel (as defined in the Resolution of Issuance),
and/or (b) with the consent of Bondholders holding sixty percent
(60%) in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Bonds,
exclusive of Bonds, if any, owned by the City, and obtained as set
forth in the Resolution of Issuance; provided, however, that no such
modification or amendment shall, without the express consent of the
Holder or registered owner of the Bond affected, reduce the
principal amount of any Bond, reduce the interest rate payable
thereon, extend its maturity or the times for paying interest
thereon or change the monetary medium in which principal and

The fo llowing events are "events of def aul t" under the
terms of the Resolution of Issuance:
(1) if default shall be made in the due and punctual
payment of any installment of interest on any Bond when and as such
interest installment shall become due and payable, and such default
shall have continued for a period of thirty (30) days;
(2) if default shall be made in the due and punctual
payment of the principal of any Bond when and as the same shall
become due and payable, whether at maturity as therein expressed, by
declaration or otherwise;

of any of the covenants, agreements or conditions contained in this
Resolution or in the Bonds, and such default shall have continued

the relief or aid of debtors, any court of competent jurisdiction
shall assume custody or control of the City or of the whole or any
