OF THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO(CENTRAL CITY, CENTRAL CITY NORTH,
AND NORTHWEST REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREAS)
BACKGROUND:
On February 17, 2009, Congress passed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (the
"Recovery Act") which provides for the issuance of Recovery Zone Economic Development Bonds
("RZEDBs") and Recovery Zone Facility Bonds ("RZFBs") by states, counties and large municipalities
until the provision of the Recovery Act authorizing said bonds sunsets on January 1, 2011. On September
21, 2009, the Mayor and Common Council approved Resolution No. 2009-328, designating the
geographical boundaries of the City of San Bernardino (the "City") as a "recovery zone" pursuant to the
Recovery Act. The City received an allocation of$7,068,000 for the issuance of economic development
bonds which enables the City to receive a cash subsidy of 45% of the interest paid on any RZEDBs issued
by the City or a City designated entity on each interest payment date designated by the bond indenture.
On August 2, 2010, the Mayor and Common Council and Joint Powers Financing Authority approved
Resolutions authorizing the financing of various street improvements to the 0 Street Corridor from "E"
Street west to 11H" Street (the 'Wh Street Project"), and declaring their intention to use funds for said
projects prior to the issuance of the bonds.
CURRENT ISSUE:
Recovery Zone Economic Development Bonds
The 4`s Street Project is designated as the area from "E" Street west to "H" Street and from 2"d Street north
to 5ei Street." The California Department of Transportation ("Caltrans") currently has underway Interstate-
215 Freeway widening and construction and reconfiguration of on- and off-ramps to the Interstate 215
Freeway.
Due to the closure of the on-ramps at this location, the Agency plan for this 3 block area, based upon
consultant master plans, is to limit 4" Street to 2 travel lanes with pedestrian friendly walking areas and
limited vehicular access. The Agency proposes to alter the width of the streets to remove 2 travel lanes
plus the current curb-side parking and install decorative paving stones and other amenities that will denote
this area as the "Theater District," anchored by the California Theater and the 20-Plex cinema facility. The
Project is expected to produce 125 construction jobs.

Convention Center- streetscape,utilities,public areas $350,000
Downtown Reader Board sign $950,000
Total: $8,250,000
The financing of the 4'h Street Project will be structured as a San Bernardino Joint Powers Financing
Authority (the "Authority") bond issuance with a loan of the proceeds of the bonds to the Redevelopment
Agency of the City of San Bernardino(the "Agency"). The bonds issued by the Authority to finance the 4d'
Street Project will be taxable bonds issued in the amount of$7,068,000 (the "Series A Bonds"), which
amount represents the City's full RZEDB allocation from the State of California. It is advisable to include
within any list of potential bond financed projects a number of additional projects, the potential costs of

which will exceed the net available bond proceeds, in the event any of the intended projects are delayed or
cannot be undertaken.
The Bonds will be secured by payments made by the Agency to the Authority under a Loan Agreement
dated as of December 1, 2010, which payments will be derived from tax increment revenues from the
Agency's Northwest Redevelopment Project Area. The Bonds will be further secured by Federal Direct
Payments from the United States Treasury, representing the 45% subsidy provided by the Federal
government on each interest payment made by the Agency to the Authority for payment to the Bondholders
(the "Federal Direct Payments"). By pledging the 45% subsidy as further security for the Series A Bonds,
the Agency can then use the amount of the Federal Direct Payments other Agency purposes.
The 0 Street Project is within the Central City and the Central City North Project Areas. However, in
order to obtain the "A" rating required by the State of California to approve the bond allocation for the
issuance of the Series A Bonds, and to provide further savings of bond interest costs, it is necessary to
initially pledge Agency tax increment revenues from the Northwest Redevelopment Project Area for the
repayment of the Bonds. A pledge of this kind requires the Agency and the City to make certain findings
that the use of the tax increment revenues from the Agency's Northwest Redevelopment Project Area for
the repayment of the Bonds meets the requirements under Health and Safety Code Section 33445.1.
Agency staff has recommended that:
(1) the Project is of benefit to the Northwest Redevelopment Project Area, the Central City
Redevelopment Project Area, the Central City North Redevelopment Project Area, in which the Project is
located,the City, and Agency;
(2) no other reasonable means of financing of the improvements is available;
(3) the payment of tax increment revenues from the Northwest Redevelopment Project Area to
fund the Project will assist in the elimination of one or more blighting conditions inside the Agency's
Northwest Redevelopment Project Area; and
(4) the Project is consistent with the implementation plan adopted pursuant to Community
Redevelopment Law Section 33490; and
(5) that the Project is provided for in the redevelopment plan.
Agency staff has characterized the downtown theater corridor as an attribute to the entire populace of the
City of San Bernardino by providing the opportunity for cultural enlightenment and entertainment for
residents of the City who reside in all Wards and in all redevelopment project areas. By bolstering the
cultural diversity of entertainment venues in the City, and in particular within the downtown core area, all
residents of the vast square mileage contained within the City incorporated boundaries are benefited
through the readily available cultural venues which serve as both a source of pride and of distinction for the
City of San Bernardino placing it in the forefront as contrasted to its neighboring communities. Without
venues such as are planned along the 4a' Street Corridor, sales tax leakage will continue to surrounding
communities where San Bernardino residents will travel to spend their entertainment dollars. As the 4
Street Corridor is enhanced through the RZED bond proceeds and the perception of the downtown San
Bernardino is enhanced through physical improvements and other programmatic means, San Bernardino
greatly enhances the opportunity to attract entertainment dollars from residents of other communities as

well and thus not only stemming the tide of sales tax leakage to the other communities but creating the
dynamics for an even greater influx of deposable spending from non-City residents within the City and the
theater district in particular.
The interim use of the surplus tax increment from the Northwest Redevelopment Project Area will provide
short-term financial support to the broader redevelopment efforts of the Agency within the downtown core
area and in particular within the 4s' Street Corridor and the theater district area. Due to the reconstruction
of the I-215 freeway and the elimination of the obsolete freeway on- and off-ramp system that existed since
the 1960's,the Sixth Ward, the Northwest Redevelopment Project Area,and the entire Westside of the City
will have superior access to the Downtown Core Area and the theater district in addition to direct access to
and from the reconstructed I-215 freeway to locations both east and west of the I-215 freeway for the first
time since the inception of the modern interstate freeway system in San Bernardino in the 1960's.
An additional benefit to the Northwest Redevelopment Project Area is associated with the financial
structure being utilized for the Series A and the Series B bonds. The Series A bonds will be issued as
Standard & Poors rated RZBs with the Series B subordinate bonds being thus able to produce more net
spendable project dollars for identified projects located solely within the Northwest Redevelopment Project
Area. This is due to the economies of scale through the simultaneous issuance of the 2 series of bonds.
with each series of the bonds paying less proportionate costs of issuance due to the simultaneous issuance
to accomplish two distinct redevelopment and governmental purposes.
It is for the above stated facts and rationale that Agency staff has recommended the requisite findings and
determinations be made by the Council and the Commission pursuant to the CRL for purposes of
implementing the legal use of the surplus tax increment revenues of the Northwest Redevelopment Project
Area in support of the 4a' Street Corridor project pending the final completion and adoption of the Merger
Area A redevelopment plan amendment process and the eventual substitution of tax increment revenues
from the Northwest Redevelopment Project Area to that of the Merger A Area as anticipated in the
applicable bond documents.
The Agency is in the process of merging the Northwest Redevelopment Project Area with the other project
areas within the proposed Merger B Project Area. The Series A Bond documents provide that upon
completion of Merger A, the security of the Series A Bonds will include all of the tax increment revenues
within the Merger A Project Area thus replacing the tax increment of the Northwest Redevelopment Project
Area as the security for the Series A Bonds. The lien on the tax increment revenues securing the Series A
Bonds will be subordinate to the loan securing the $55,800,000 San Bernardino Joint Powers Financing
Authority Tax Allocation Revenue Refunding Bonds Series 2005A (the "2005A Bonds") and on parity
with the loans securing the $30,330,000 San Bernardino Joint Powers Financing Authority 2002 Tax
Allocation Refunding Bonds (Secured by a Junior Lien on Certain Tax Increment Revenues Pledged Under
Senior Loan Agreements) (the "2002A Bonds") and $21,105,000 San Bernardino Joint Powers Financing
Authority Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds Series 2005B (the"2005B Bonds").

Additional Tax Allocation Bonds
In addition to the issuance of the Series A Bonds for the financing of the 0 Street Project,Agency staff has
recommended that there are other projects which may be financed with the simultaneous issuance of Tax
Allocation Bonds, an amount not to exceed $6,000,000, as tax-exempt bonds pursuant to the provisions of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 existing prior to the Recovery Act (the "Series B Bonds"). Issuance of
Series B Bonds at this time will save in financing costs, Agency staff time, and fund needed public project
improvements. The projects the Agency desires to fund (the "2010 Projects") with the Series B Bonds are
shown on the Northwest Redevelopment Project Area, as said Project Area is shown on the Map, Exhibit
"B"and include:

As noted in the Series A Bonds projects list, it is advisable to include within any list of potential bond
financed projects a number of additional projects, the potential costs of which will exceed the net available
bond proceeds, in the event any of the intended projects are delayed or cannot be undertaken in Sub-area A
of the Northwest Redevelopment Project Area.
The Series A Bonds and the Series B Bonds (collectively, the "Bonds")will be issued under one Indenture
of Trust and sold under one Official Statement. The Loan Agreement will secure payments of both the
Series A Bonds and the Series B Bonds, and thus the Series B Bonds also will be secured by revenues of
the Northwest Redevelopment Project Area. The Bonds will be secured by separate reserve funds and shall
have equal parity. The Series B Bonds will remain secured by the Northwest Project Area tax increment as
a part of the Merger B, whereas the Series A Bonds will have the pledge of the Northwest Redevelopment
Project Area replaced by and be secured by the tax increment revenues of Merger A.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
The agenda action does not require environmental action as the approvals contemplated do not meet the
definition of a "project" under Section 15378 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Prior
to the commencement of construction of the 4t' Street Project and the 2010 Projects (collectively, the
"Projects"),the Agency will obtain the necessary permits required to proceed with said construction. These
Projects are in the initial permit processes at this time.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Bonds will be issued for a term of 20 years with an expected net interest rate after receipt of the 45%
subsidy of between 5% and 6%. The Bonds will be secured by the tax increment revenues from the
Agency's Northwest Redevelopment Project Area and will be subordinate to the outstanding 2005A Bonds
and on parity with the 2005B Bonds and the 2002A Bonds currently outstanding and secured by Northwest
Redevelopment Project Area tax increment revenues. The Bond closing is expected to be on or around
December 16, 2010, but in no event later than the expiration of the Recovery Act provisions governing the
issuance of RZEDBs,which is December 31,2010.
The Fiscal Consultant Report, Exhibit "C," prepared by Rosenow Spevacek Group, shows the expected
amounts of Northwest Redevelopment Project Area tax increment revenues available to pay the Bonds.
The 0 Street Project is expected to be completed within 24 months. Additional tax increment revenue is
expected to be generated as a result of the street upgrades which are expected to increase development in
and around the 4a'Street Corridor. The 2010 Projects are expected to be completed no later than fall 2013.
The bonds are not a debt of the City of San Bernardino,the State of California,or any of its political
subdivisions other than the Authority, and neither the City, the State nor any of its political
subdivisions,other than the Authority, is liable therefor.

NORTHWEST FISCAL CONSULTANT REPORT
INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE OF REPORT
This Fiscal Consultant Report ("Report") has been prepared by Rosenow Spevacek Group, Inc.
("RSG") at the request of the Redevelopment Agency of the City of San Bernardino ("Agency') to
substantiate the Agency's financial capacity in the Northwest Redevelopment Project Area ("Project
Area") to fund debt service for the Agency's proposed 2010 Financing ("2010 Financing"). It is our
understanding that the Community Development Commission of the City of San Bernardino
("Commission"), which serves as the governing board of the Agency, is seeking to leverage tax
increment revenues from the Project Area to secure capital to finance capital projects and for the
implementation of the Northwest Redevelopment Plan ("Plan") and current Five Year
Implementation Plan for fiscal years 2009-10 through 2013-14. This Report estimates the
availability of tax increment revenues generated in the Project Area to fund debt service for the
proposed 2010 Financing based on assumptions described later in this Report.
Table 1 summarizes the overall findings of this Report by presenting projected net tax increment
revenues available to the Agency in the Project Area to support debt service for the proposed 2010
Financing. Refer to Table A in the Appendix for more detailed tax increment revenue projections
("Revenue Projections").

REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO
NORTHWEST FISCAL CONSULTANT REPORT
BACKGROUND
The City of San Bernardino ("City") Mayor and Common Council ("City Council") created the
Agency in 1958 with the responsibility of initiating and managing redevelopment projects and
activities within the City's redevelopment project areas ("Project Areas'). The City Council also
established the Commission, composed of the City Council Members, to act as the governing board
of the Agency. The Agency and its staff oversee redevelopment activities in the Agency's 14
Project Areas. The Agency is a "focused, diversified organization whose mission is to enhance the
quality of life for the citizens of San Bernardino by creating jobs, eliminating physical and social
blight, supporting culture and the arts, and developing a balanced mix of quality housing, along with
attracting and assisting businesses both independent and through public-private partnerships."
NORTHWEST REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT
On July 6, 1982, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. MC-189, approving the Redevelopment
Plan for the Northwest Project Area. The 1,500-acre Project Area is located in the northwest
quadrant of the City and is geographically divided into a 940-acre Area A and a 560-acre Area B
(see Figure 1 on the following page). Area A is southwest of Cajon Boulevard, north of Seventh
Street and west of the 1-215 Freeway. The area primarily follows the commercial corridors along
portions of Highland Avenue, Baseline, Medical Center Drive, and Mt. Vernon Avenue. San
Bernardino Community Hospital and the Westside Shopping Center are major employers in the
area.
Area B is located north of the Devil Creek Diversion Channel, south of the 1-215 Freeway,
southeasterly of Palm Avenue, and fronting on both sides of Cajon Boulevard. The area is
designated for industrial uses, with vacant land available for development. The industrial area is
connected to the State College Business Park industrial area via a bridge that allows better access
to the 1-15 and 1-215 Freeway interchange.

LAND USE
Table 2 details the Project Area's secured assessed valuation by land use category. As shown in
Table 2, the predominant land use in the Project Area is industrial, which accounts for more than
61% of secured assessed value in fiscal year 2010-11. Residential land accounts for more than
19% of secured assessed value followed by commercial land which accounts for 12.5% of secured
assessed value in the Project Area. The remaining 6.85% of secured assessed value consists of
vacant, miscellaneous, institutional/public, and recreational uses.

REDEVELOPMENT PLAN LIMITS
The California Community Redevelopment Law (California Health and Safety Code §§33000 et
seq.) ("CRU) requires the Plan to contain certain time and financial limits governing the
administration and financial operations of the Agency. Time limits include the Agency's ability to
incur debt, undertake Plan activities, and collect tax increment revenue to repay debt. Financial
limits include the amount of bonded indebtedness that may be outstanding at any one time and the
cumulative amount of gross tax increment that Agency may collect. Table 3 outlines the Plan limits.

Sources:Redevelopment Plan, City Ordinances
On July 6, 1982, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. MC-189 adopting the Northwest
Redevelopment Plan which established an annual financial limit of $4,500,000 for the collection of
tax increment from the Project Area. The Revenue Projections account for this cap on tax
increment in future years. The Plan also established a $35,000,000 limit on the amount of bonded
indebtedness pledged against tax increment that can be outstanding at any one time. The
Agency's time limit to incur debt was eliminated by Ordinance No. MC-1157 on December 1, 2003
pursuant to Senate Bill 211 (Chapter 741, Statutes of 2001). The time limits on Plan effectiveness
and collection of tax increment to repay debt are July 6, 2025 and July 6, 2035, respectively. Both
time limits were extended pursuant to Senate Bill 1045 (Chapter 260, Statutes of 2003) by one year
on June 20, 2005 by Ordinance No. MC-1202, and subsequently extended pursuant to Senate Bill
1096 (Chapter 211, Statutes of 2004) for two additional years on April 20, 2009 by Ordinance No.
MC-1297. These extensions were authorized by state budget trailer bills related to the shift of
Agency tax increment revenues to the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund in specified years.
All of the Plan limits described above may only be amended by a redevelopment plan amendment
in accordance with the CRL. RSG has reviewed these limitations and has determined that they
would not impact the proposed 2010 Financing.

NORTHWEST FISCAL CONSULTANT REPORT
HISTORICAL ASSESSED VALUATION & TAX INCREMENT REVENUES
Based on Article XIIIA of the California Constitution (enacted in 1978 by California Proposition 13),
the Agency's tax increment revenue is based on the state's ad valorem property tax system which
applies a 1% general levy tax rate against non-exempt local and state secured and unsecured
assessed property values. Proposition 13 provides that municipalities may obtain voter approval for
an increase in the property tax rate above 1%, otherwise known as a "tax rate override," to secure
bonded indebtedness. According to the San Bernardino County Auditor-Controller ("County
Auditor"), an override rate of 0.16% currently applies to properties in the Project Area for bonds
issued by the San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District ("SBVMWD") for the California State
Water Project, of which SBVMWD is one of 29 State Water Project contractors statewide.
SBVMWD projects that debt service payments secured by the override will continue until 2035.1
The Agency's tax increment revenue is generated from increases in the Project Area's total secured
and unsecured assessed value above the 1982-83 base year value of $34,418,781, when the Plan
was adopted, subject to the Plan's $4,500,000 annual limitation on gross tax increment revenue.
As shown in Table 4, total assessed value in the Project Area for fiscal year 2010-11 is
$524,140,460. The incremental value above the base year is $489,721,679. Using a 1.16% tax
rate, the Agency's gross tax increment revenue for fiscal year 2010-11 is projected to be
$5,680,771, subject to the $4,500,000 annual tax increment limit and adjusted for factors affecting
actual assessed valuation and revenues. The Revenue Projections (Table A in the Appendix)
adjust the revenue by factoring in property sales, added value from new construction, pending Top
10 Taxpayer appeals, and estimated delinquencies. After adjustments, the Revenue Projections
estimate $4,450,503 in gross tax increment for fiscal year 2010-11.
Overall, total assessed value in the Project Area increased by more than 95% over the entire five-
year period from fiscal years 2006-07 to 2010-11. Year-to-year, the total assessed value
aggressively grew between 14.45% and 54.27% annually from fiscal years 2006-07 to 2009-10,
before experiencing a -5.26% decline from fiscal years 2009-10 to 2010-11. See Table 4 below.

TAX INCREMENT REVENUE PROJECTIONS
METHODOLOGY & GENERAL ASSUMPTIONS
The overall methodology for projecting tax increment revenues is to begin with the most recently
available assessed valuations (fiscal year 2010-11) and tax rates (fiscal year 2009-10) and to make
conservative adjustments for possible future events that could have an impact on the growth or
decline of assessed valuations and property tax revenues. The following discussion articulates key
factors that could impact the Agency's property tax revenues from the Project Area.
Growth Assumptions
Article XIIIA (Proposition 13) Inflationary Adjustments
Article XIIIA of the California Constitution (enacted in 1978 by California Proposition 13) and State
Board of Equalization ("BOE") Rule 460(b)(5) provide that the "full value of real property shall be
modified to reflect the percentage change in the cost of living ... provided that such value shall not
reflect an increase in excess of 2 percent of the taxable value of the preceding lien date." The
California Consumer Price Index ("CCPI") establishes the inflation rate used to determine the
"percentage change in cost of living," based on the percentage change in the CCPI from October to
October of each year.
In most years, the CCPI has exceeded 2% and has resulted in an upward adjustment to the
valuation of real property by 2%. Since 1978, however, there have been five occurrences when the
inflationary adjustment was less than 2% but still greater than 0%. This occurred in fiscal years
1983-84, 1995-96, 1996-97, 1999-00, and 2004-05; the inflationary adjustments for these fiscal
years was 1.01%, 1.0119%, 1.0111%, 1.01853% and 1.01867%, respectively.
Fiscal year 2010-11 was the first year since the passage of Proposition 13 in 1978 that the annual
adjustment resulted in a reduction of assessed valuations. On December 14, 2009, the BOE
announced that the CCPI from October 2008 to October 2009 had decreased by 0.237% and
directed county assessors statewide to prepare the fiscal year 2010-11 assessment rolls based
upon an inflation factor of 0.99763%. The actual inflation rate for fiscal year 2011-12 will depend
upon the change in CCPI from October 2009 to October 2010. According to the California
Department of Industrial Relations, the change in the CCPI from October 2009 through August
2010 (the latest month available at the time of this Report) is 0.6%. Despite this sign of a potentially
positive increase in the CCPI, RSG conservatively assumed a 0% inflation rate for secured
assessed valuation in the Revenue Projections for fiscal year 2011-12. Historically, the Proposition
13 inflationary factor is 2%. The Revenue Projections therefore assume that the inflationary growth
rate will return to an annual increase of 2% in secured assessed valuation beginning in fiscal year
2012-13 and continuing through the remaining years of the Revenue Projections. The 2009-10
unsecured assessed valuation is held constant throughout the duration of the Revenue Projections.
Changes in Valuation from Sales
The taxable assessed valuation of a property may increase or decrease based upon the net change
in its sales price and the property's existing taxable assessed valuation. Due to the January 151 lien
date, property sales occurring during calendar year 2010 will not show up on the San Bernardino
County ("County') Assessment Roll until fiscal year 2011-12. The following analysis estimates the
change in assessed valuation for fiscal year 2011-12 attributable to actual real property ownership
changes occurring between January 1, 2010 and September 17, 2010. As shown below in Table 5,
(q RS( 7
REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO
NORTHWEST FISCAL CONSULTANT REPORT
there have been a total of 34 real property sales during the 2010 calendar year to date, which will
result in an estimated $301,794 (or 0.06%) decrease in assessed valuation on the fiscal year 2011-
12 Assessment Roll.

Changes in Valuation from New Construction
Table 6 presents a summary of building permits in the Project Area with a valuation of $50,000 or
more that were issued by the City from July 1, 2009 to September 23, 2010, but not yet finaled.
Upon completion of the improvements, one building permit will add approximately $229,678 of new
value to the fiscal year 2012-13 assessment roll. RSG assumed a 12-month schedule for
completion of construction under the permit, which was issued in May 2010 but not yet finaled.
RSG has incorporated in the Revenue Projections the $229,678 of added assessed valuation
attributable to new construction, as summarized in Table 6. The Revenue Projections do not factor
in supplemental roll revenue from this new construction. Additional discussion of supplemental roll
revenue is provided below.

Supplemental Roll Revenue
Supplemental roll revenue ("Supplemental Revenue") was identified from actual tax increment
payment receipts and is accounted for in Table 4 (Historical Assessed Valuation). Supplemental
Revenue is the revenue generated from a supplemental tax bill, which is issued when a property
sale occurs or construction is completed after January 151 (the Assessor's cut-off date for the
following year's assessment roll). A supplemental tax bill is used for the period between the sale or
completion of construction and the next regular tax bill. Since Supplemental Revenue can be
unpredictable, the Revenue Projections conservatively do not include it.
Proposition 8 Reassessments &Assessment Appeals
California Proposition 8, codified in Section 2(h) of Article XIII A of the California Constitution, was a
constitutional amendment to Proposition 13 that allows a temporary reduction in assessed valuation
when a property suffers a decline in value. Proposition 8 requires the County Assessor to enroll the
lower of either: (1) the taxable value (market value of the property when it was acquired plus a
consumer price index adjustment of up to 2% per year, plus the value of any new construction); or
(2) the market value as of the annual January Vt lien date. Reductions in assessed valuation under
Proposition 8 are temporary and are reviewed annually until the Proposition 13 base year value is
again lower than the market value, at which time the Proposition 13 base year value is reinstated.
Reductions in assessed valuation pursuant to Proposition 8 may be informally initiated by the
Assessor or result from owner-initiated assessment appeals. Table 7 provides a summary of
Proposition 8 reductions for the County by jurisdiction, including both Assessor-initiated and owner-
initiated reassessments.
In preparation of the fiscal year 2010-11 Assessment Roll, the Assessor reviewed approximately
250,000 residential properties countywide resulting in the removal of more than $4.6 billion in value
from the Assessment Roll, a 4.5% net decrease in value compared to the fiscal year 2009-10
Assessment Roll. In the City, 14,379 parcels were reviewed by the Assessor, resulting in
$204,736,168 of reductions in assessed valuation, representing a 2.0% net decrease in total
assessed value for the City. The City is the largest city within the County in population and
geographic size, and has the fourth highest assessed valuation of cities on the fiscal year 2010-11
Assessment Roll. Seven other cities plus unincorporated County areas had greater dollar value
Proposition 8 reductions for the fiscal year 2010-11 Assessment Roll. 16 other cities plus the
unincorporated County area had greater percentage reductions in total assessed value due to
Proposition 8 reductions.

Assessor-Initiated Reassessments
The County Assessor has not made any public announcements or indications about Assessor-
initiated blanket Proposition 8 reassessments for 2011 or the future. Assessor-initiated Proposition
8 reassessments have primarily focused on the residential properties thus far. Given the relatively
low proportion of residential property in the Project Area (see Table 2), assessed value in the
Project Area has been impacted to a lesser degree by Assessor-initiated Proposition 8
reassessments than other parts of the City. Data for actual reductions in the Project Area due to

Assessor-initiated Proposition 8 reassessments is unavailable. The Revenue Projections account
for owner-initiated assessment appeals (see below) but not Assessor-initiated reassessments.
Owner-Initiated Assessment Appeals
Historical information regarding assessment appeals for the Project Area was collected from the
County Assessment Appeals Board ("Appeals Board") and summarized in Table 8. From 2006
through July 2010, the Appeals Board received 44 owner-initiated assessment appeals. Of the 23
appeals that the Appeals Board heard during the five-year period, seven (30.43%) were granted or
stipulated and impacted the assessment rolls for fiscal years 2006-07, 2007-08, and 2008-09 with a
$10,105,883 reduction in secured assessed value. On average, 77.44% of the requested reduction
amount for each appeal was granted. During the five-year period, 16 were withdrawn, denied, or
deemed invalid and did not result in any change in value. There are 21 pending appeals from the
five-year period through July 2010 remaining with a total requested reduction in value of
$107,451,953.

The Revenue Projections conservatively assume that all six appeals will be reviewed and approved
by the Appeals Board resulting in a reduction of assessed value and tax increment in fiscal year
2010-11. RSG's methodology for factoring Top 10 Taxpayer appeals into the Revenue Projections
is outlined below.
• RSG assumed that 100% of all pending Top 10 Taxpayer appeals will be granted and will
impact fiscal year 2010-11 assessed values and tax increment.
• RSG applied the five-year average of value reduction granted as a percentage of reduction
requested (77.44%) to the pending appeals.
• RSG observed that, during the five-year timeframe, four multiple appeals were filed for two
properties in different years, at least half of which were assumed to be temporary
Proposition 8 reductions. RSG handled multiple appeals filed for the same property in
multiple years as follows:
• Impact to Secured Value. The most recently filed appeal was assumed to impact the
fiscal year 2010-11 secured roll thereby reducing the total assessed value by which
O RS( 13
REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO
NORTHWEST FISCAL CONSULTANT REPORT
tax increment is calculated. 77.44% of the requested reduction amount for the most
recent appeal was deducted from the fiscal year 2010-11 roll value.
• Impact to Tax Increment. Prior appeals filed for the same property were assumed to
be temporary reductions impacting fiscal year 2010-11 tax increment revenue but not
impacting the secured roll value. 77.44% of the requested reduction amount for prior
appeals was deducted from the fiscal year 2010-11 gross tax increment revenue
using a 1.16% tax rate.
• The remaining two single appeals impact the fiscal year 2010-11 secured roll value by
deducting 77.44% of the requested reduction amount.
Tax Rates
The Agency currently receives tax increment revenue from the Project Area based on the general
1% tax levy rate and a 0.16% override rate. As discussed earlier, the voter-approved override
funds debt service for bonds issued by the San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District for the
California State Water Project ("SWP"). SBVMWD is one of 29 SWP contractors throughout the
state and estimates its 2010 share of annual SWP costs to be $37,400,000. SBVMWD projects
that debt service payments secured by the override will continue until the year 2035.2 The Revenue
Projections therefore apply a 1.16% tax rate through fiscal year 2035-36, the final year of tax
increment collection in the Project Area for debt repayment.
Table 10 details the fiscal year 2009-10 general levies and override rate breakdown by each of the
taxing agencies.

Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund Deposits
Section 33334.2 of the CRL requires that the Agency set aside at least 20% of the gross tax
increment revenues allocated to the Agency from the Project Area into a special fund for the
purpose of increasing, improving, or preserving the supply of housing available to persons or
households of low and moderate income ("Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund"). The
Revenue Projections for the Project Area provide annual projected deposits into the Agency's Low
and Moderate Income Housing Fund.
Taxing Agency Pass-through Payments
Statutory Pass-through Payments
Pursuant to Section 33607.5 of the CRL, the Agency is required to implement statutory tax sharing
("Statutory Payments") with all taxing entities levying taxes upon property within the Project Area.
Statutory Payments are calculated annually using the Project Area assessed valuation and each
taxing entity's share of the tax levy. Pursuant to Senate Bill 211 (Chapter 741, Statutes of 2001),
Tier 1 payments for the Project Area began in fiscal year 2004-05 after the City Council adopted
Ordinance No. MC-1157 eliminating the Agency's time limit to incur debt for the Project Area. Tier
1 payments are calculated using 25% of the annual non-housing (80%) tax increment revenue that
exceeds the adjusted base year revenue. Tier 2 payments commence in the 11th year and the
Agency must pay an additional 21% of the incremental increase in non-housing tax increment
revenues exceeding amounts in the 10th payment year. Tier 3 payments commence in the 315`year
and the Agency must pay an additional 14% of the incremental increase exceeding amounts in the
30th year.
Pursuant to the CRL, the Agency may subordinate statutory taxing agency payments prior to
incurring any loans, bonds, or other indebtedness, except for loans or advances to the community.
At the time of the subordination request, the Agency must provide evidence that sufficient funds will
be available to pay both debt service and taxing agency payments. Within 45 days after receipt of
the Agency's request, the affected taxing agencies should either approve or deny the subordination.
If the taxing agencies do not respond within 45 days, the subordination is deemed approved and
shall be final and conclusive. The Agency has not requested subordination for the proposed 2010
Financing.
The Revenue Projections calculate Statutory Payments based on the incremental increase in
assessed value above the base year value rather than incremental revenue received by the
Agency. This is consistent with California Attorney General Opinion No. 10-101. The Revenue
Projections conservatively use this approach even in fiscal years when the Agency reaches its
$4,500,000 annual gross tax increment limit.
Negotiated Pass-through Payments
Prior to January 1, 1994, CRL Section 33401 allowed redevelopment agencies to pay to any other
entity collecting property taxes within the redevelopment project area a portion of tax increment
revenues to alleviate any financial burden related to the redevelopment project. On October 11,
1982, the Agency entered into an agreement with the City, County, and San Bernardino County
Flood Control District ("Flood Control District") for negotiated pass-through payments ("1982
Agreement"). Section 3 of the 1982 Agreement provides that "Unless extended by written
agreement of the Parties, this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further effect after June 30,
1987." Although the Agency, the County, and Flood Control District did not enter into a new or
O RSG 15
REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO
NORTHWEST FISCAL CONSULTANT REPORT
revised agreement by June 30, 1987, Section 4.1 of the 1982 Agreement, related to County pass-
through payments, provides that "Any provision of Section 3 of the Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding this Section 4.1 shall remain in full force and effect during the effectiveness of the
Redevelopment Plan unless the Parties enter into a superseding agreement." Similar language is
contained in Section 4.2, related to Flood Control District pass-through payments. Under the 1982
Agreement, beginning in fiscal year 1987-88, the Agency is required to make payments to the
County and Flood Control District equal to the portion of the tax increment these agencies would
have been allocated in the absence of the Project Area. As shown in Table 10, the County's fiscal
year 2009-10 ratio for allocation of the 1% general tax levy in the Project Area was 14.5088%. The
Flood Control District's ratio was 2.7567%. The Revenue Projections calculate negotiated pass-
through payments to the County and Flood Control District by combining and applying these ratios
to gross tax increment revenues, adjusted to exclude tax increment from the 0.16% tax rate
override.
Tax Collection Fee
Actual tax increment disbursements are reduced to reflect the tax collection fee charged by the
County Auditor-Controller pursuant to Senate Bill 2577 and Senate Bill 813. The tax collection fee
varies from year-to-year based on actual costs incurred by the County for administration of property
taxes to the Agency. According to the County Auditor-Controller, the tax collection fee in fiscal year
2009-10 was approximately 0.25% of tax increment revenues. The Revenue Projections assume a
County tax collection fee of 0.25% of gross tax increment revenues.
State Takeaways— SERAF Payments
Assembly Bill X4-26 (Chapter 21, Statutes of 2009 4`" Extraordinary Session), effective October 26,
2009, requires redevelopment agencies to make payments to a county Supplemental Educational
Revenue Augmentation Fund ("SERAF") during the 2009-10 and 2010-11 fiscal years.
Redevelopment agencies may also suspend all or part of its required allocation to the Housing
Fund from property tax increment revenues that are allocated to the agency between July 1, 2009
and June 30, 2009, with provisions to repay the fund by June 30, 2015. If a redevelopment agency
does not remit its full payment to SERAF or fails to arrange for full payment, than the Agency would
be prohibited from, among other things, issuing new bonds.
On May 11, 2010, the Agency remitted to the County Auditor its full SERAF payment for fiscal year
2009-10 in the amount of $11,926,071. Such payment was made without loan from the Agency's
Housing Fund and, therefore, has no impact on the Agency's future revenues. The Agency's total
SERAF obligation for fiscal year 2010-11 is $2,452,977. The Agency is expected to make its
payment again without deferring payment to its Housing Fund. No adjustment for the Agency's
fiscal year 2010-11 SERAF payment was included in the Revenue Projections.
As in past instances of required redevelopment agency payments into the Educational Revenue
Augmentation Fund ("ERAF"), if an Agency has made its fiscal year 2009-10 SERAF payment, CRL
Section 33331.5 authorizes the Agency to extend for one year the time limits on the effectiveness of
its redevelopment plans and the collection of tax increment to repay debt (see Table 3). The
Agency has not adopted the SERAF extension and the Revenue Projections do not factor in an
extension.
Payments from redevelopment agencies to county Educational Revenue Augmentation Funds
("ERAF") have been required in prior years, including fiscal years 2003-04, 2004-05, and 2005-06.
Based upon the outcome of pending litigation and voter approval of Proposition 22 on the
O PSG 16
REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO
NORTHWEST FISCAL CONSULTANT REPORT
November 2, 2010 ballot, it is unknown in which fiscal years, if ever, redevelopment agencies will
be required to make additional payments into ERAF.
Property Tax Delinquencies
Delinquent property taxes impact the Agency's tax increment revenues. The Agency is not on a
County Teeter Plan, which stabilizes property tax payments at 100% of the anticipated receipts. As
a result, actual Agency tax increment receipts are reduced to reflect property tax delinquencies.
Table 11 presents five-year historical delinquency rates for the Project Area's secured and
unsecured tax increment revenue. According to the County Auditor-Controller, delinquency rates
for unsecured revenue have historically been 0%. The delinquency rate for secured revenue in
fiscal year 2009-10 was 6.4%. The five-year average for secured revenue was 7.2%.

Reserve Fund shall be funded initially at the Reserve Requirement.
19
P:Wgenda W4enda Attachenenns\Exhibns\010\12-06-10 Recovery Zone RA_CM Resos-Inde=re ofimp(Exhibit A).doc
(b) The Reserve Requirement may be fulfilled by a deposit of a credit
instrument in lieu of cash as hereinafter described:
(1) A surety bond or insurance policy issued to the Trustee by a
company licensed to issue an insurance policy guaranteeing the timely payment of the debt
service on the Bonds (a "municipal bond insurer") may be deposited in the Reserve Fund to meet
the Reserve Requirement if the claims paying ability of the issuer thereof shall be rated"AAA"or
"Aaa"by S&P and Moody's, respectively.
(2) A surety bond or insurance policy issued to the Trustee by an entity
other than a municipal bond insurer may be deposited in the Reserve Fund to meet the Reserve
Requirement.
(3) An unconditional irrevocable letter of credit issued to the Trustee
by a bank may be deposited in the Reserve Fund to meet the Reserve Requirement if the issuer
thereof is rated at least "AA"by S&P. The letter of credit shall be payable in one or more draws
upon presentation by the beneficiary of a sight draft accompanied by its certificate that it then
holds insufficient funds to make a required payment of principal or interest on the Bonds. The
draws shall be payable within two days of presentation of the sight draft. The letter of credit shall
be for a term of not less than three years. The issuer of the letter of credit shall be required to
notify the Authority and the Trustee,not later than 30 months prior to the stated expiration date of
the letter of credit, as to whether such expiration date shall be extended, and if so, shall indicate
the new expiration date.
If such notice indicates that the expiration date shall not be extended, the
Authority shall deposit in the Reserve Fund an amount sufficient to cause the cash or permitted
investments on deposit in the Reserve Fund,together with any other qualifying credit instruments,
to equal the Reserve Requirement, such deposit to be paid in equal installments on at least a semi-
annual basis over the remaining term of the letter of credit, unless the respective Reserve Fund
credit instrument is replaced by a Reserve Fund credit instrument meeting the requirements in any
of the items 1-3 above. The letter of credit shall permit a draw in full not less than two weeks
prior to the expiration or termination of such letter of credit if the letter of credit has not been
replaced or renewed. The authorizing document shall, in turn, direct the Trustee to draw upon the
letter of credit prior to its expiration or termination unless an acceptable replacement is in place or
the Reserve Fund is fully funded in its required amount.
(5) The obligation to reimburse the issuer of a Reserve Fund credit
instrument for any fees, expenses, claims or draws upon such Reserve Fund credit instrument
shall be subordinate to the payment of Debt Service on the Bonds. The right of the issuer of a
Reserve Fund credit instrument to payment or reimbursement of its fees and expenses shall be
subordinated to cash replenishment of the Reserve Fund, and, subject to the second succeeding
sentence, its right to reimbursement for claims or draws shall be on a parity with the cash
replenishment of the Reserve Fund. The Reserve Fund credit instrument shall provide for a
revolving feature under which the amount available thereunder will be reinstated to the extent of
any reimbursement of draws or claims paid. If the revolving feature is suspended or terminated
for any reason,the right of the issuer of the Reserve Fund credit instrument to reimbursement will
20
P.Wgendas\Agenda Att chmems\Exbibits @010\13-06-10 Recovery Zone IPA_CDC Rows-btdemme ofTmst(Exhibit A).doc
be further subordinated to cash replenishment of the Reserve Fund to an amount equal to the
difference between the full original amount available under the Reserve Fund credit instrument
and the amount then available for further draws or claims. If(a) the issuer of a Reserve Fund
credit instrument becomes insolvent or(b) the issuer of a Reserve Fund credit instrument defaults
in its payment obligations thereunder or(c)the claims-paying ability of the issuer of the insurance
policy or surety bond falls below a S&P "AAA" or a Moody's "Aaa" or (d) the rating of the
issuer of the letter of credit falls below a S&P "AA", the obligation to reimburse the issuer of the
Reserve Fund credit instrument shall be subordinate to the cash replenishment of the Reserve
Fund.
(6) If(a)the revolving reinstatement feature described in the preceding

COVENANTS OF THE AUTHORITY
Section 5.01. Punctual Payment; Extension of Payment of Bonds. The Authority
shall punctually pay or cause to be paid the principal, interest and premium(if any)to become due
in respect of all the Bonds, in strict conformity with the terms of the Bonds and of this Indenture,
according to the true intent and meaning thereof, but only out of Revenues and other assets
pledged for such payment as provided in this Indenture.
Section 5.02. Against Encumbrances. The Authority shall not create, or permit
the creation of, any pledge, lien, charge or other encumbrance upon the Revenues and other assets
pledged or assigned under this Indenture while any of the Bonds are Outstanding, except the
pledge and assignment created by this Indenture. Subject to this limitation, the Authority
expressly reserves the right to enter into one or more other indentures for any of its corporate
purposes, including other programs under the Bond Law, and reserves the right to issue other
obligations for such purposes.
Section 5.03. Power to Issue Bonds and Make Pledge and Assignment. The
Authority is duly authorized pursuant to law to issue the Bonds and to enter into this Indenture
and to pledge and assign the Revenues, the Loan Agreement and other assets purported to be
pledged and assigned, respectively, under this Indenture in the manner and to the extent provided
in this Indenture. The Bonds and the provision of this Indenture are and will be the legal, valid
and binding special obligations of the Authority in accordance with their terms, and the Authority
and the Trustee shall at all times, subject to the provisions of this Indenture, and to the extent
permitted by law, defend, preserve and protect said pledge and assignment of Revenues and other
assets and all rights of the Bond Owners under this Indenture against all claims and demands of
all persons whomsoever.
Section 5.04. Accounting Records and Financial Statements. The Trustee shall at
all times keep, or cause to be kept, proper books of record and account, prepared in accordance
with industry standards, in which complete and accurate entries shall be made of all transactions

Section 5.06. Election to Designate Series A Bonds as Recovery Zone Economic
Development Bonds. The Authority and the Agency hereby make an irrevocable designation of
the Series A Bonds as "Recovery Zone Economic Development Bonds" pursuant to the
provisions of Section 1400U-2(b)(1)(B) of the Tax Code. The Authority expects to receive a
cash subsidy payment from the United States Department of Treasury pursuant to the Recovery
Act on or about each Interest Payment Date equal to 45% of the interest paid on the Series A
Bonds (the "Federal Direct Payments"). The cash payments to be made by the United States
under the Recovery Act do not constitute a full faith and credit obligation of the United States,
but are required to be paid by the Department of the Treasury under the current provisions of the
Recovery Act if the Authority complies, and continues to comply, with the applicable provisions
of the Tax Code. The cash subsidy payments if and when received by the Authority, or on behalf
of the Authority, shall be transferred to the Trustee or caused to be transferred to the Trustee for
the payment of debt service on the Bonds. The Authority hereby covenants to direct the United
States Department of Treasury to pay said subsidy directly to the Trustee. The Authority is
obligated to make all payments of principal of, and interest on, the Bonds whether or not it
receives cash subsidy payments pursuant to the Recovery Act and the Tax Code. Neither failure
by the Authority to comply with the requirements of the Tax Code, which must be satisfied for
the Authority to receive the cash subsidy payments applicable to the Bonds, nor in any event to
receive any cash subsidy payments applicable to the Bonds, constitutes a default by the
Authority hereunder.
The Authority hereby directs and authorizes any authorized Authority representative and
the Agency hereby directs and authorizes any Authorized Agency Representative to make any
other elections permitted or required pursuant to the provisions of the Tax Code or the Tax
Regulations, as such authorized representative (after consultation with Bond Counsel) deems
necessary or appropriate in connection with the Bonds and in connection with maintaining the
Authority's ability to receive Federal Direct Payments to the extent available for payment to the
Authority.
Section 5.07. Continuing Disclosure. Pursuant to Section 4.12 of the Loan
Agreement, the Agency has undertaken all responsibility for compliance with continuing
disclosure requirements, and the Authority shall have no liability to the Owners of the Bonds or
any other person with respect to such disclosure matters. The Trustee hereby covenants and
agrees that it will comply with and carry out all of the provisions of the Continuing Disclosure
Agreement and Section 4.12 of the Loan Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Indenture, failure of the Agency or the Trustee to comply with the Continuing Disclosure
Agreement shall not be considered an Event of Default; however, the Trustee shall at the written
request of any Participating Underwriter or the Owners of at least 25% aggregate principal
amount of Outstanding Bonds, but only to the extent the Trustee has been indemnified to its
satisfaction from any cost, liability or expense including those of its attorneys, or any Owner may
take such actions as may be necessary and appropriate, including seeking mandate or specific
performance by court order, to cause the Agency to comply with its obligations under Section
4.12 of the Loan Agreement or to cause the Trustee to comply with its obligations under this
Section 5.07.

The parties hereby covenant to and for the benefit of the Owners of the Series B Bonds,
as follows:
(a) Arbitrage. The Authority will not directly or indirectly use or permit the
use of proceeds of the Series B Bonds, or any other funds of the Authority from whatever source
derived, to acquire any investment, and it will not take or permit to be taken any other action,
which would cause the Series B Bonds to be characterized as "arbitrage bonds" within the
meaning of Section 148 of the Code or which would otherwise cause the interest on the Series B
Bonds to be includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes. To this end, in the
event that at any time the Authority is of the opinion that, for purposes of this paragraph, it is
necessary to restrict or limit the yield on the investment of any monies held by the Trustee under
this Indenture, the Authority shall take such action as may be necessary.
(b) Rebate. Under the Loan Agreement, the Agency has agreed that within
forty-five (45) days after each arbitrage computation date (the "Computation Date") it will
(i)provide the Trustee with a calculation of the rebate amount for the Series B Bonds for the
period commencing on the date of issue of the Series B Bonds and ending on such Computation
Date, such rebate amount to be calculated in the manner required by Section 148 of the Code and
the Tax Regulations thereunder, and (ii) transfer to the Trustee for deposit in the Rebate Account
an amount equal to such rebate amount. If the Agency fails to provide such calculation or make
such payment to the Trustee, the Trustee shall notify the Authority and the Agency of such fact,
and the Trustee shall demand that: the Agency provide such calculation or make such payment
pursuant to Section 4.12 of the Loan Agreement, such that payments are made to the Rebate
Account from any funds lawfully available therefor.
At the Request of the Agency, within sixty(60) days after each Computation Date
(other than the final Computation Date), the Trustee, on behalf of the Authority, will pay to the
United States government an amount equal to 90% of the rebate amount calculated as of such
date, and within sixty (60) days after the final Computation Date, the Trustee, on behalf of the
Authority, will pay over to the United States government an amount equal to 100% of the rebate
amount calculated as of such date. Such payments shall be made in accordance with Section 148
of the Code and the Tax Regulations thereunder, but only from amounts on deposit in the Rebate
Account. The Issuer shall cooperate with the Trustee in the filing of any forms required by the
Code to be submitted with the rebate payments described in this Section 5.06(b).
For purposes of calculating the amount of any arbitrage rebate required to be paid
to the United States government under this Section 5.06(b), the Trustee shall famish to the
Agency, or a qualified arbitrage rebate consultant engaged by the Agency, such investment
information as the Agency or arbitrage rebate consultant requests from time to time relating to
any funds held by the Trustee under this Indenture. The Trustee may rely upon and shall not be
responsible for any calculations provided by the Agency under this Section 5.06(b). The
Authority shall keep and retain for a period of six (6) years following the retirement of the Series
B Bonds records of the determinations made pursuant to this Section 5.06(b). Notwithstanding
any other provision in this Indenture, the obligation to pay rebatable arbitrage to the United
States of America and to comply with all other requirements of this Section shall survive the
defeasance or payment in full of the Series B Bonds.

(c) Information Reporting. The Authority will timely file a federal
information return with respect to the Series B Bonds as required by section 149(e)of the Code.
(d) Federal Guarantee Prohibition. The Authority will take no action, nor
permit or suffer any action to be taken, if the result of the same would be to cause the Series B
Bonds to be"federally guaranteed"within the meaning of Section 149(b) of the Code.
(e) Further Actions. The Authority will take all actions within its power and
permitted by law which are or may be necessary to assure that interest on the Series B Bonds at
all times remains excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes, including
complying with the provisions of the Authority's Arbitrage and Tax Matters Certificate, the
covenants set forth herein and all requirements of the Code that must be satisfied subsequent to
the issuance of the Series B Bonds for interest on the Series B Bonds to be, or continue to be,
excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 5.08, the Authority may rely
conclusively on an opinion of Bond Counsel in complying, or in any deviation from complying,
with the provisions hereof.

notice, as provided in Section 6.02(h) hereof, then the Trustee shall promptly give written notice

have been cured before the giving of such notice; provided, however, that unless such Event of

elect not to give such notice if and so long as the Trustee in good faith determines that it is in the
best interests of the Bond Owners not to give such notice.
Section 6.05. Intervention by Trustee. In any judicial proceeding to which the
Authority is a party which, in the opinion of the Trustee and its counsel, has a substantial bearing

mail, postage prepaid, to the Bond Owners at their respective addresses set forth on the
Registration Books.
Section 6.08' Appointment of Successor Trustee. In the event of the removal or
resignation of the Trustee pursuant to Sections 6.06 or 6.07, respectively, with the prior written

fail to appoint a successor Trustee following the delivery to the Trustee of the instrument
described in Section 6.06 or following the receipt of notice by the Authority pursuant to Section
6.07, the Trustee may, at the expense of the Authority, apply to a court of competent jurisdiction
for the appointment of a successor Trustee meeting the requirements of Section 6.01 hereof. Any
successor Trustee must have combined capital, surplus and undivided profits of at least $75
million. Any such successor Trustee appointed by such court shall become the successor Trustee
hereunder notwithstanding any action by the Authority purporting to appoint a successor Trustee.
In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the
Bonds, the Authority, the Trustee and the successor Trustee with respect to the Bonds shall
execute and deliver a supplemental indenture hereto, wherein the successor trustee shall accept
such appointment and which (1) shall contain such provisions as are necessary and desirable to
transfer, confirm and vest in such successor Trustee all the rights, powers,trusts and duties of the
retiring Trustee with respect to the Bonds of such series to which the appointment of the successor
Trustee relates, (2) if the retiring Trustee is not resigning or being removed as to all series of
Bonds, shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary and desirable to confirm that
all of the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee as to that series of Bonds for
which it is not resigning or being-removed shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee, and
(3) shall add to or change such provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or
facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood
that nothing hereunder or under such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-
trustees of the same trust and that each Trustee shall be a trustee of a separate trust and upon the
execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation or removal of such retiring
Trustee shall become effective and the successor Trustee shall become vested with all the rights,
powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to such series of Bonds and the
33

retiring Trustee shall transfer to such successor Trustee all property and money held by the
retiring Trustee related to the series of Bonds to which the appointment of such successor Trustee
relates.
Section 6.09. Mercer or Consolidation. Any company into which the Trustee may
be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated or any company resulting from any
merger, conversion or consolidation to which it shall be a party or any company to which the
Trustee may sell or transfer all or substantially all of its corporate trust business, provided that
such company shall meet the requirements set forth in Section 6.01, shall be the successor to the
Trustee and vested with all of the title to the trust estate and all of the trusts, powers, discretion,
immunities, privileges and all other matters as was its predecessor, without the execution or filing
of any paper or further act, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
Section 6.10. Concerning Any Successor Trustee. Every successor Trustee
appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to its predecessor and also to the
Authority an instrument in writing accepting such appointment and warranting certain funds as
provided in Section 6.02 hereof. Thereupon such successor, without any further act, deed or
conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the estates,properties, rights,powers,trusts, duties
and obligations of its predecessors; but such predecessor shall,nevertheless, on the Request of the
Authority, or of the Trustee's successor, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such
successor all the estates, properties, rights, powers and trusts of such predecessor hereunder; and
every predecessor Trustee shall deliver all securities and moneys held by it as the Trustee
hereunder to its successor. Should any instrument in writing from the Authority be required by
any successor Trustee for more fully and certainly vesting in such successor the estate, rights,
powers and duties hereby vested or intended to be vested in the predecessor Trustee, any and all
such instruments in writing shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the
Authority.
Section 6.11. Appointment of Co-Trustee. It is the purpose of this Indenture that
there shall be no violation of any law of any jurisdiction (including particularly the law of the
State) denying or restricting the right of banking corporations or associations to transact business
as Trustee in such jurisdiction. It is recognized that in the case of litigation under this Indenture,
and in particular in case of the enforcement of the rights of the Trustee on default, or in the case
the Authority or Trustee deem that by reason of any present or future law of any jurisdiction the
Trustee may not exercise any of the powers, rights or remedies herein granted to the Trustee or
hold title to the properties, in trust, as herein granted or take any other action which may be
desirable or necessary in connection therewith, it may be necessary that the Authority or Trustee
appoint an additional individual or institution as a separate co-trustee. The following provisions
of this Section 6.11 are adopted to these ends.
Any co-trustee must have combined capital, surplus and undivided profits of at
least$75 million.
In the event that the Authority or Trustee appoint an additional individual or
institution as a separate or co-trustee, each and every remedy, power, right, claim, demand, cause
of action, immunity, estate, title, interest and lien expressed or intended by this Indenture to be
34

exercised by or vested in or conveyed to the Trustee with respect thereto shall be exercisable by
and vest in such separate or co-trustee but only to the extent necessary to enable such separate or
co-trustee to exercise such powers, rights and remedies, and every covenant and obligation
necessary to the exercise thereof by such separate or co-trustee shall run to and be enforceable by
either of them.
Should any instrument in writing from the Authority be required by the separate
trustee or co-trustee so appointed by the Trustee for more fully and certainly vesting in and
confirming to it such properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations, any and all such
instruments in writing shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the
Authority. In case any separate trustee or co-trustee, or a successor to either, shall become
incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the estates, properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties
and obligations of such separate trustee or co-trustee so far as permitted by law, shall vest in and
be exercised by the Trustee until the appointment of a new trustee or successor to such separate
trustee or co-trustee.
Section 6.12. Indemnification: Limited Liability of Trustee. The Authority
covenants and agrees to indemnify and save the Trustee and its officers, directors, agents and
employees, harmless against any loss, expense and liabilities which it may incur arising out of or
in the exercise and performance of its powers and duties hereunder, or under the Loan Agreement
including the costs and expenses of defending against any claim of liability, but excluding any
and all losses, expenses and liabilities which are due to the negligence or willful misconduct of
the Trustee, its officers, directors, agents or employees. No provision in this Indenture shall
require the Trustee to risk or expend its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability
hereunder if repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such liability or risk is not
assured to it. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in
accordance with the direction of the Owners of at least twenty-five percent (25%) in aggregate
principal amount of Bonds Outstanding relating to the time, method and place of conducting any
proceeding or remedy available to the Trustee under this Indenture. The obligations or any trust
or power of the Authority under this paragraph shall survive discharge of the Bonds and the
resignation or removal of the Trustee under this Indenture.

Trustee, without cost to each Bond Owner, for Bonds then Outstanding, upon surrender of such
Outstanding Bonds.

the Bond Owners hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity.

Owners of the Bonds at the respective dates of maturity, as herein provided, out of the Revenues
and other moneys herein pledged for such payment.
A waiver of any default or breach of duty or contract by the Trustee or any Bond
Owners shall not affect any subsequent default or breach of duty or contract, or impair any rights
or remedies on such subsequent default or breach. No delay or omission of the Trustee or any
Owner of any of the Bonds to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default shall impair
any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default or an
acquiescence therein; and every power and remedy conferred upon the Trustee or Bond Owners

INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT
General
The purpose of this Official Statement(which includes the cover page and the appendices hereto)is to set
forth certain information concerning the issuance and sale by the San Bernardino Joint Powers Financing
Authority (the "Authority") of its $7,068,000* Tax Allocation Bonds, Series 2010A (4h Street Corridor Project-

Allocation Bonds, Series 201013 (Northwest Redevelopment Project Area Infrastructure Projects) (the "Series B
Bonds," and collectively with the Series A Bonds, the "Bonds"). The Bonds are being issued pursuant to the
Constitution and laws of the State of California (the "State"), particularly the California Community
Redevelopment Law, Part 1, Division 24, (commencing with Section 33000 of the Health and Safety Code of the
State) (the "Redevelopment Law"), and the Marks-Roos Local Bond Pooling Act of 1985 constituting Article 4
(commencing with Section 6584), Chapter 5, Division 7, Title 1, of the Government Code of the State (the
"Marks-Roos Act") (collectively, the "Law") and a resolution duly adopted by the Authority on November 15,
2010 (the "Resolution'). The Series A Bonds also are being issued pursuant to Section 1400U-2(b)(1)(B) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Bonds are issued pursuant to an Indenture of Trust dated as of
December 1, 2010(the"Indenture"),by and between the Authority and U.S. Bank, as trustee(the"Trustee").
The proceeds of the Series A Bonds will be applied to finance street and sidewalk improvements and
other infrastructure improvements to the 4`h Street Corridor within the downtown area of the City from "E" Street
west to "H" Street and from 2nd Street north to 5h Street (the "4d' Street Project"). The proceeds of the Series B
Bonds will be applied to finance various infrastructure improvements within the Northwest Redevelopment
Project Area (the "Northwest Redevelopment Project Area Infrastructure Projects," and collectively with the 4'h
Street Project,the"Project"). See"THE PROJECT"herein.
The Bonds will be secured by payments made by the Agency to the Authority pursuant to a loan (the
"Loan") under a Loan Agreement dated as of December 1, 2010 (the "Loan Agreement"), by and between the
Authority, the Agency and the Trustee, pursuant to which the Agency has agreed to pay the Authority amounts
equal to all principal of and interest coming due on the Bonds. The obligation of the Agency under the Loan
Agreement will be payable solely from the Agency's Tax Revenues from the Northwest Redevelopment Project
Area (the "Project Area") and from Federal Direct Payments (as defined herein). See "SECURITY FOR THE
BONDS"herein. The lien of the Bonds shall be subordinate to the 2005A Bonds(as defined herein). The lien of

P:UgendasNgeoda Atm[hmcnt,1Eali tat2010A2-06-10 Recovery Zone WFA_CDC-Prelimmmy Official Statement(Eabibn B).doc
The Agency is in the initial stages of a merger of its fourteen (14) redevelopment project areas into two
(2) redevelopment project areas, Merged Area A Project Area and Merged Area B Project Area. In the event the
mergers are completed, it is expected that the existing fourteen(14)redevelopment project areas will be within the
Merged Area A Project Area or the Merged Area B Project Area. After the completion of the Merged Area A
Project Area, the 4" Street Project will be within the Merged Area A Project Area, consisting of Central City
North, Southeast Industrial Park, Tri-City, South Valle, Meadowbrook/Central City, Central City South and
Central City Redevelopment Project Areas. The Northwest Redevelopment Project Area, which revenues
constitute the Tax Revenues (as herein defined), will be within the Merged Area B Project Area in the event that
the Merged Area B Project Area is completed.
The proposed mergers will result in increasing the total amount of tax increment revenue that can be
accumulated within each of the merged areas, combining the individual project areas' bonded indebtedness limits
and increasing the total amount of bonded indebtedness that can be accumulated for each of the merged areas, and
with respect to some of the project areas,extending the plan effectiveness by ten(10)years.
In the event that the Merged Area B Project Area is adopted, with respect to the Series A Bonds, the
Indenture and Loan Agreement provide that upon meeting certain conditions, namely, (i) delivery to the Trustee
of a Fiscal Consultant's Report and certification by said Fiscal Consultant demonstrating that the pledged tax
increment revenues from the Merged Area A Project Area are at least equal to the pledged Tax Revenues from the
Northwest Project Area on the original Closing Date, (ii) delivery of an opinion of bond counsel stating that the
pledge is consistent with the provisions of the Trust Indenture and the Loan Agreement, and (iii) confirmation in
writing from S&P that the rating on the Series A Bonds will not be diminished or removed by reason of the
substitution, all references to "Project Area" and "Tax Revenues" with respect to the Series A Bonds shall
become "Merger A Tax Revenues" as defined in the Indenture. See "SECURITY FOR THE BONDS —Merger
of Project Areas" and "THE PROJECT AREA - Planned Merger of Project Area." The Indenture provides that
the Trustee shall disseminate a notice to the Bondholders stating that the substitution has been made.
The Law authorizes the financing of redevelopment projects through the use of tax increment revenues.
This method of financing provides that the taxable valuations of the property within the Project Area on the
property tax roll last equalized prior to the effective date of the ordinance which adopted the redevelopment plan
becomes the base year taxable valuation, and the increase in taxable valuation in subsequent years over the base
year taxable valuation becomes the increment upon which taxes are levied and allocated to the Agency. All taxes
collected thereafter upon the tax increment (the increase in taxable valuation above the base year taxable
valuation) are available to be pledged to the payment of the debt service on Agency obligations, including the
Loan Agreement, any pass-through agreements, and other obligations.
Neither the Agency nor the Authority have any power to levy and collect taxes, and any legislative
property tax de-emphasis or provision of additional sources of income to taxing agencies having the effect of
reducing the property tax rate must necessarily reduce the amount of Tax Revenues available to the Agency to
meet its obligations to the Authority under the Loan Agreement to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds.
The Agency will covenant for the benefit of the Bondholders to provide certain financial information and
operating data relating to the Agency and the Project Area by not later than six months after the end of the Fiscal
Year to which such information pertains, commencing with the 2009/10 Fiscal Year (the "Annual Report"), and
to provide notices of the occurrence of certain enumerated events, if material. The Annual Report will be filed
with the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (the "MSRB") and the notices of material events will be filed
with t the MSRB. The specific nature of the information to be contained in the Annual Report or the notices of
material events is described in "APPENDIX F — FORM OF CONTINUING DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT"
attached hereto. These covenants will be made in order to assist the Underwriter in complying with Securities and
Exchange Commission Rule 15c2-12(b)(5).

with pedestrian friendly walking areas and limited vehicular access. The Agency proposes to alter the width of
the streets to remove 2 travel lanes plus the current curb-side parking and install decorative paving stones and
other amenities that will denote this area as the "Theater District" The "Theater District' is anchored by the

THE BONDS
The Bonds are initially available in book-entry form only. So long as Cede & Co. is the registered owner
of the Bonds as nominee of The Depository Trust Company (DTC), New York, New York, references herein to
the Bondholders or registered owners of the Bonds shall mean Cede & Co. and shall not mean the beneficial
owners of the Bonds. In addition, so long as Cede & Co. is the registered owner of the Bonds,purchasers of the
Bonds will not receive certificates representing their interest in the Bonds purchased. Interest on and principal of
the Bonds will be payable by the Trustee to Cede & Co. by wire transfer in immediately available funds in
accordance with the terms of Letter of Representation, by and among the Trustee, the Authority and DTC (the
"Letter of Representation").
General
The Bonds are issuable only in fully registered form in denominations of$5,000 principal amount, or any
integral multiple thereof. The Bonds are dated the date of delivery thereof, bear interest at the rates and will
mature on the dates and in the principal amounts set forth on the inside cover page of this Official Statement.
Interest on the Bonds is computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Interest on
the Bonds is payable semiannually on April 1 and October 1 of each year (each an "Interest Payment Date"),
commencing April 1,2011.
Interest on, and principal of, the Bonds will be payable by the Trustee, to Cede & Co. by wire transfer in
immediately available funds in accordance with the terms of the Letter of Representation.
Book-Entry Only System
The Bonds will be held by DTC,as securities depository. The ownership of one fully registered Bond for
each maturity is registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee for DTC. DTC is a limited-purpose trust
company organized under the laws of the State of New York, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a
"clearing corporation"within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a"clearing agency"
registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. DTC
was created to hold securities of its participants (the "DTC Participants") and to facilitate the clearance and
settlement of securities transactions among DTC Participants in such securities through electronic book-entry
changes in accounts of the DTC Participants, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of securities
certificates. DTC Participants include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing
corporations, and certain other organizations, some of whom (and/or their representatives) own DTC. Access to
the DTC system is also available to others such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through
or maintain a custodial relationship with a DTC Participant, either directly or indirectly (the "indirect
Participants").
Ownership interests in the Bonds may be purchased by or through DTC Participants. Such DTC
Participants, and the persons for whom they acquire interests in the Bonds as nominees (the "Beneficial
Owners") will not receive certificated Bonds, but each DTC Participant will receive a credit balance in the
records of DTC in the amount of such DTC Participant's interest in the Bonds, which will be confirmed in
accordance with DTC's standard procedures.
Beneficial Owners are expected to receive a written confirmation of their purchase providing details of
the Bonds acquired. Each Beneficial Owner may desire to make arrangements with such DTC Participant to
receive a credit balance in the records of such DTC Participant, and may desire to make arrangements with such
DTC Participant to have all notices of redemption or other communications to DTC, which may affect such
persons,be forwarded in writing by such DTC Participant and to have notification made of all interest payments.

Participants,whose ownership interests will be recorded on a computerized book-entry system operated by DTC.
Principal and interest payments on the Bonds will be made to DTC or its nominee, Cede & Co., as
registered owner of the Bonds. Upon receipt of monies, DTC's current practice is to immediately credit the
accounts of the DTC Participants in accordance with their respective holdings shown on the records of DTC.
Payments by DTC Participants and indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing
instructions and customary practices, as is now the case with municipal securities held for the accounts of
customers in bearer form of DTC, the Trustee, or the Authority, subject to any statutory and regulatory
requirements as may be in effect from time to time.
When notices are given to the Bondholders, they will be sent by the Trustee to DTC only (except as
otherwise specifically provided in the Indenture). Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to
DTC Participants,by DTC Participants to indirect Participants, and by DTC Participants and indirect Participants
to Beneficial Owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory and regulatory
requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Neither the Trustee nor the Authority is responsible for
sending notices to Beneficial Owners.
Transfers of ownership interests in the Bonds will be accomplished by book entries made by DTC and by
the DTC Participants who act on behalf of the Beneficial Owners. Interest and principal will be paid by the
Trustee to DTC then paid by DTC to the DTC Participants, and thereafter paid by the DTC Participants to the
Beneficial Owners when due.
For every transfer and exchange of the Bonds, the Trustee may charge DTC and DTC may charge the
DTC Participants and the DTC Participants may charge the Beneficial Owners, a sum sufficient to cover any tax,
fee or other government charge that may be imposed in relation thereto.
Because DTC can only act on behalf of Participants, indirect Participants and certain banks, the ability of
a Beneficial Owner to pledge such Beneficial Owner's Bonds to persons or entities that do not participate in the
DTC system, or otherwise take actions in respect of such Bonds, may be limited due to the lack of a certificate for
such Bonds.
DTC has advised the Authority that it will take any action permitted to be taken by a Bondholder under
the Indenture only at the direction of one or more Participants to whose account with DTC the Bonds are credited.
Additionally, DTC has advised that it will take such actions with respect to a principal amount of Bonds only at
the direction of and on behalf of Participants whose holdings include that principal amount of.the Bonds. DTC
6
P:Uger \Ager aAttachmems\E bits\2010\12-06-10Recovery ZoneRFA_CDC-Prcliminery Oficial Stetemrnt(Esbibn B).doc
may take conflicting actions with respect to other principal amounts of Bonds to the extent that such actions are
taken on behalf of Participants whose holdings include those principal amounts of the Bonds.
DTC may determine to discontinue providing its services with respect to the Bonds at any time by giving
notice to the Authority and the Trustee and discharging its responsibilities with respect thereto under applicable
law. Under such circumstances (if there is not a successor securities depository) Bond certificates are required to
be delivered as described in the Indenture.
The Authority may determine that continuation of the system of book-entry transfers through DTC (or a
successor securities depository) is not in the best interest of the Beneficial Owners. In such event, Bond
certificates will be required to be delivered.
The information in this section concerning DTC and DTC's book-entry system has been obtained from
sources that the Authority believes to be reliable, but the Authority takes no responsibility for the accuracy
thereof.

Notice of Redemption
The Trustee is required to mail (by first class mail)notice of any redemption at least 30 but not more than
60 days prior to any redemption date to the respective Owners of the Bonds designated for redemption at their
addresses appearing on the Registration Books and to certain information services and securities depositories.
Neither failure to receive any such notice so mailed nor any defect therein shall affect the validity of the
proceedings for redemption of such Bonds or the cessation of the accrual interest thereon.
SECURITY FOR THE BONDS
Revenues and Loan Agreement
The Bonds are special obligations of the Authority payable solely from and secured by Revenues which
are defined in the Indenture to include(i)all amounts payable by the Agency pursuant to the Loan Agreement; (ii)
any proceeds of the Bonds originally deposited with the Trustee and all moneys deposited and held from time to
time in the funds and accounts established under the Indenture, (iii) income and gains with respect to the
investment of amounts on deposit in the funds and accounts established under the Indenture, and (iv) Federal
Direct Payments (as defined herein received from m the United States Department artment of Treasury wi
with respect to the
Series A Bonds. The Loan is secured by a pledge of and lien on the Tax Revenues, as more fully described under
"SECURITY FOR THE BONDS — Tax Revenues" and the Federal Direct Payments as more fully described
under "SECURITY FOR THE BONDS - Federal Subsidy Payments on Recovery Zone Economic Development
Bonds." The Loan is subordinate to the loan made by the Authority in connection with the 2005A Bonds and the
Loan is on parity with the loan made by the Authority in connection with the 2002A Bonds and 2005B Bonds.
The Agency may, pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement and the Indenture, issue additional obligations
secured by Tax Revenues on a parity with the Loan and the Parity Loans. See"SECURITY FOR THE BONDS—
Issuance of Additional Debt."
The Agency is in the initial stages of a merger of its fourteen (14) project areas into two project areas. In
the event the mergers are completed, it is expected that the existing project areas will be within a Merged Area A
Project Area or Merged Area B Project Area. After the completion of the mergers, the Project will be within the
Merged Area A Project Area, consisting of Central City North, Southeast Industrial Park, Tri-City, South Valle,
Meadowbrook/Central City, Central City South and Central City Redevelopment Project Areas. The Northwest
8
P:\Age s\Agenda Anach Ms\Exhibns @010\12-06-10 Recov ry Zvve RFA COC-Prelimi Official Statement(Exhibit B),&c
Redevelopment Project Area, which revenues constitute the Tax Revenues (as herein defined), will be within the
Merged Area B Project Area in the event that the merger is completed.
The proposed mergers will result in increasing the total amount of tax increment revenue that can be
accumulated within each of the merged areas, combining the individual project areas' bonded indebtedness limits
and increasing the total amount of bonded indebtedness that can be accumulated for each of the merged areas, and
with respect to some of the project areas,extending the plan effectiveness by ten(10)years.
In the event that the Merged Area B Project Area is adopted, with respect to the Series A Bonds, the
Indenture and Loan Agreement provide that upon meeting certain conditions, namely, (i) delivery to the Trustee
of a Fiscal Consultant's Report and certification by said Fiscal Consultant demonstrating that the pledged tax
increment revenues from the Merged Area A Project Area are at least equal to the pledged Tax Revenues from the
Northwest Project Area on the original Closing Date, (ii) delivery of an opinion of bond counsel stating that the
pledge is consistent with the provisions of the Trust Indenture and the Loan Agreement, and (iii) confirmation in
writing from S&P that the rating on the Series A Bonds will not be diminished or removed by reason of the
substitution, all references to "Project Area" and "Tax Revenues" with respect to the Series A Bonds shall
become"Merger A Tax Revenues"as defined in the Indenture. See"SECURITY FOR THE BONDS -Merger of
Project Areas"and"THE PROJECT AREA—Planned Merger of Project Areas." The Indenture provides that the
Trustee shall disseminate a notice to the Bondholders stating that the substitution has been made.
In the event that the Agency can meet the test under the Indenture and Loan Agreement for the
substitution of Tax Revenues with the Merged Area A Tax Revenues, the Bonds would then be secured by said
Merged Area A Tax Revenues.
If the proposed transfer of the security for the Series A Bonds to the Merged Area A Tax Revenues cannot be
accomplished, and the Merged Area B Project Area is completed, the Northwest Project Area Tax Revenues will
become a part of the Merged Area B Project Area Tax Revenues and the Bonds will be paid from said Merged
Area B Project Area Tax Revenues.
Tax Allocation Financing
The Redevelopment Law provides a means for financing redevelopment projects based upon an allocation
of taxes collected within a project area. The taxable valuation of a project area last equalized prior to adoption of
the redevelopment plan, or base roll, is established. Thereafter, except for any period during which the taxable
valuation drops below the base roll, the state and local governments for the benefit of which taxes are levied and
collected on property within the project area receive the taxes produced by the levy of the then current tax rate
upon the base roll. Taxes collected upon any increase in taxable valuation over the base roll are allocated to a
redevelopment agency and may be pledged by a redevelopment agency to the repayment of any indebtedness
incurred in financing or refinancing of a redevelopment project. Redevelopment agencies themselves have no
authority to levy property taxes and must look specifically to the allocation of taxes produced as above indicated.
Further, the Redevelopment Law requires that certain amounts of tax increment be used by a redevelopment
agency for low and moderate income housing projects, and places certain limits on the tax increment which a
redevelopment agency is authorized to receive.
Allocation of Taxes
As provided in the Redevelopment Plan, and pursuant to Article 6 of chapter 6 of the Redevelopment Law
and Section 16 of Article XVI of the Constitution of the State of California, taxes levied upon taxable property in
the Project Area each year by or for the benefit of the State of California and any city, county, city and county,
district or other public corporation(herein collectively referred to as"taxing agencies")for fiscal years beginning
after the effective date of the Project Area are divided as follows:
9
P:Agm IAgendn AnncbmmuEx bns12010\12-W-10Recovery ZoneRFA CDC-Pmlimbmry Official Statement(Exhibit B)doc
(1) To Taxing Agencies: That portion of the taxes which would be produced by the rate upon which
the tax is levied each year by or for each of said taxing agencies upon the total sum of the
assessed value of the taxable property in the Project Area as shown upon the assessment roll used
in connection with the taxation of such property by such taxing agency last equalized prior to the
effective date of the ordinance approving the Redevelopment Plan shall be allocated to,and when
collected shall be paid into the funds of the respective taxing agencies as taxes by or for said
taxing agencies on all other property are paid; and
(2) To the Agency: Except for taxes which are attributable to a tax rate levy by a taxing agency for
the purpose of producing revenues to repay bonded indebtedness approved by the voters of the
taxing agency on or after January 1, 1989,which shall be allocated to and when collected shall be
paid to such taxing agency, that portion of said levied taxes each year in excess of the amounts
provided for in (1) above, shall be allocated to, and when collected, shall be paid into a special
fund of the Agency to pay the principal of and interest on bonds, loans, moneys advanced to or
indebtedness (whether funded, refunded, assumed, or otherwise) incurred by the Agency to
finance or refinance, in whole or in part the Project Area. Unless and until the total assessed
valuation of the taxable property in the Project Area exceeds the total assessed value of the
taxable property in the Project Area as shown by the last equalized assessment roll referred to in
paragraph (1) above, all of the taxes levied and collected upon the taxable property in the Project
Area shall be paid into the funds of the respective taxing agencies. When said bonds, loans,
advances, and indebtedness, if any, and interest thereon, have been paid, all moneys thereafter
received from taxes upon the taxable property in the Project Area, shall be paid into the funds of
the respective taxing agencies as taxes on all other property are paid.
The Agency is authorized to make pledges of the portion of taxes mentioned in paragraph (2) above to
repay specific advances,loans and indebtedness as appropriate in carrying out the Redevelopment Plan.
Tax Revenues
The"Tax Revenues"which are pledged to the payment of the Loan are defined in the Loan Agreement as
that portion of the taxes levied upon taxable property in the Project Area, allocated and paid into special funds of
the Agency (the"Special Fund"), pursuant to Article 6 of Chapter 6 of the Redevelopment Law and Section 16 of
Article XVI of the Constitution of the State, exclusive of: (i) amounts placed into the Low and Moderate Income
Housing Fund of the Agency, pursuant to Sections 33334.2 and 33334.3 of the Redevelopment Law, and (ii)
amounts payable to affected taxing agencies pursuant to any Pass-Through Agreement. See "THE PROJECT
AREAS"herein for a description of the Pass-Through Agreement.
All Tax Revenues received by the Agency are required to be deposited in the Special Fund until such time
as the amounts on deposit in the Special Fund equal the aggregate amounts required to be transferred to the
Trustee pursuant to the Loan Agreement and any Parity Debt Instrument.
The Agency has no power to levy and collect property taxes, and any property tax limitation, Legislative
measure, voter initiative or provisions of additional sources of income to taxing agencies having the effect of
reducing the property tax rate,could reduce the amount of Tax Revenues that would otherwise be available to pay
the Loan and, consequently, the principal of, and interest on, the Bonds. Likewise, broadened property tax
exemptions could have a similar effect. See"RISK FACTORS"herein.
THE BONDS ARE NOT A DEBT OF THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO, THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA, OR ANY OF ITS POLITICAL SUBDIVISIONS, AND NEITHER THE CITY OF SAN
BERNARDINO NOR THE STATE OR ANY OF ITS POLITICAL SUBDIVISIONS (OTHER THAN THE

AUTHORITY) IS LIABLE THEREON. NEITHER THE AUTHORITY NOR THE AGENCY HAS ANY
TAXING POWER. THE BONDS ARE REVENUE BONDS, PAYABLE EXCLUSIVELY FROM THE
REVENUES AND OTHER FUNDS AS PROVIDED IN THE INDENTURE INCLUDING PAYMENTS TO BE
MADE BY THE AGENCY UNDER THE LOAN AGREEMENTS. THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE AGENCY
UNDER THE LOAN AGREEMENTS AND ANY PARITY DEBT OF THE AGENCY ARE PAYABLE
SOLELY FROM TAX REVENUES ALLOCATED TO THE AGENCY FROM THE PROJECT AREAS. THE
BONDS DO NOT CONSTITUTE AN INDEBTEDNESS WITHIN THE MEANING OF ANY
CONSTITUTIONAL OR STATUTORY DEBT LIMIT OR RESTRICTION.
Prior Liens
As more fully described below, the Agency has entered into pass-through agreements with respect to the
Project Area. The pledge of Tax Revenues under such pass-through agreements is prior and superior to the lien of
the Bonds. See"THE PROJECT AREA"below.
Housing Set-Aside. Tax Revenues do not include that portion of tax increment revenues payable to the
Agency which are to be deposited into the Agency's Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund pursuant to
Sections 33334.2 and 33334.3 of the Redevelopment Law.
Issuance of Additional Debt
The Authority has covenanted in the Indenture that except for the Bonds, it will not incur any other
indebtedness payable out of Revenues.
The Agency has covenanted in the Loan Agreement that it will not incur any indebtedness which is
payable from all or any part of the Tax Revenues, other than: (i)the loan(s) securing the Prior Debt; (ii)additional
Parity Debt, subject to the conditions described in the Loan Agreement, and (iii)any debt secured by a pledge of
Tax Revenues which is subordinate to the pledge of Tax Revenues created by the Loan Agreement. For a
description of circumstances stances in which the Agency may issue additional debt on a parity with the Loan, see
"Appendix D-SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL LEGAL DOCUMENTS—Loan Agreement"
Existing Parity Debt
As hereinbefore described, the Bonds shall have an equal lien on the Tax Revenues securing the loan
payments on the Series 2002A Bonds and the 2005B Bonds currently outstanding.
Reserve Funds
Reserve Funds. There is established a separate funds to be known as the "Series A Bonds Reserve Fund"
and "Series B Bonds Reserve Fund," which shall be maintained at the respective Reserve Requirements for said
Bonds at all times prior to payment of the Loan in full pursuant to the Loan Agreement except to the extent
required for the purposes set forth in the Indenture.
Withdrawals front the Reserve Funds. In the event that the Agency shall fail to deposit with the Trustee
the full amount required to be deposited pursuant to the Indenture on or before the fifteenth (15) Business Day
preceding any Redemption Date or Interest Payment Date, as applicable, the Trustee shall provide any notice
required with respect to the timely liquidation of securities invested in the Reserve Funds and one Business Day
prior to the next Interest Payment Date or Redemption Date, the Trustee shall withdraw from the Reserve Funds
pro rata and transfer to the Interest Account and the Principal Account, in such order, an amount equal to the
difference between the amount required to be deposited pursuant to the Indenture and the amount actually
deposited by the Agency. In the event that the Authority notifies the Agency or if the Agency has actual notice
11
P:Wgendms gv Anwh ents\Exhibns @010\12-06 40Recovery Zone JPFACOC-Preliminmy OIHci.1 Stetemem(Exhibd%doc
that the amount on deposit in one of the Reserve Funds is less than the respective Reserve Requirement due to
either a devaluation of the investments held in said Reserve Fund, or to the extent of any draws on the respective
Reserve Fund, is to deposit amounts required under the Indenture to restore said balance to the respective Reserve
Requirement.
In the event that the amount on deposit in any of the Reserve Funds on the fifteenth (15th) day preceding
any Interest Payment Date exceeds the Reserve Requirement, the Trustee is to thereupon withdraw from said
Reserve Fund all amounts in excess of the respective Reserve Requirement and credit first to the payment of
interest and then to principal coming due, if any, such amounts towards the deposit then required to be made by
the Agency pursuant to the Indenture.
For the purpose of maintaining the Reserve Funds and the Reserve Requirements, the Agency shall be
required to replenish the Reserve Funds to the extent of draws on the Reserve Funds as a result of deficiencies in
the payment of Tax Revenues.
Federal Subsidy Payments on Recovery Zone Economic Development Bonds
The Authority intends to elect to designate the Series A Bonds as "Recovery Zone Economic
Development Bonds" for purposes of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 signed into law on
February 17, 2009 (the "Recovery Act") and to receive a cash subsidy payment from the United States
Department of Treasury equal to 45% of the interest payable on the Series A Bonds on or about each interest
payment date for the Series A Bonds(each such cash subsidy payment,a"Federal Direct Payment").
Pursuant to the Indenture, the Authority has pledged all Federal Direct Payments in connection with the
Series A Bonds to the Trustee to be deposited into the Revenue Fund to be used solely for the purpose of paying
the principal of, and interest on, the Bonds, including the redemption price thereof. The Code imposes
requirements that the Authority must continue to meet after the Bonds are issued in order to receive the Federal
Direct Payments. These requirements generally involve the way that Recovery Zone Economic Development
Bond proceeds must be invested and ultimately used, and the periodic submission of requests for payment. If the
Authority does not meet these requirements, it is possible that the Authority may not receive the Federal Direct
Payments. The Internal Revenue Service (`IRS") has implemented an examination program for Recovery Zone
Economic Development Bonds, and no assurance can be given that the Series A Bonds will not be selected for a
more detailed or
comprehensive examination.
p In the event the IRS files a proposed adverse determination letter
as a result of such an examination, announced IRS policy is to suspend payment to the Authority of the Federal
Direct Payments pending a final determination of the qualification of the Series A Bonds as may be applicable.
Furthermore, in certain circumstances, the Federal Direct Payments may be reduced (offset) by amounts
determined to be applicable under the Code and regulations promulgated thereunder. For example, offsets may
occur by reason of any past-due legally enforceable debt of the Authority to any Federal agency. The amount of
any such offsets is not predictable, but the Authority does not currently expect that any such offsets will apply to
the credits the Authority expects to receive.
Merger of Project Areas
The Agency is in the initial stages of a merger of its fourteen(14)project areas into two (2)project areas.
It is expected that Merged Area A Project Area will include Central City North, Southeast Industrial Park, Tri-
City, South Valle,Meadowbrook/Central City, Central City South and Central City Redevelopment Project Areas.
It is further expected that the merger would result in:
(1) Merger of the individual project areas and the development of a single merged, amended
and restated redevelopment plan for the project areas that will comprise Merged Area A ("2010 Merged
Area A Plan");
12
P:A,eM \A,eMa Ad.,WnntsTE b4ts\2010\12.O--10Recovery Zone RFA CDC-P Iiminacy Official Stiamem(Exhibit B)Acc
(2) A combined individual project area tax increment revenue limit and increased total
amount of tax increment revenues that can be accumulated for Merged Area A;
(3) A combined individual project area bonded indebtedness limit and increased total
amount of bonded indebtedness that can be accumulated for Merged Area A;
(4) Added public improvement projects list to the 2010 Merged Area A Plan; and
(5) An extended plan effectiveness for both Central City North and Meadowbrook/Central
City Redevelopment Project Areas by ten(10)years each.
In the event that the merger of the State College, Central City West, Northwest, Uptown, Mt. Vernon
Corridor, and 40"' Street Redevelopment Project Areas is completed, those project areas will become Merged
Area B Project Area.. It is expected that the merger would result in:
(1) Merger of the individual project areas and the development of a single merged, amended
and restated redevelopment plan for the project areas that will comprise Merged Area B ("2011 Merged
Area B Plan");
(2) A combined individual project area tax increment revenue limit and increased total
amount of tax increment revenues that can be accumulated for Merged Area B;
(3) A combined individual project area bonded indebtedness limit and increased total
amount of bonded indebtedness that can be accumulated for Merged Area B;
(4) Added public improvement projects list to the 2011 Merged Area B Plan;
(5) An extended plan effectiveness of the State College Redevelopment Project Area by ten
(10)years; and
(6) Added new territory to the Merged Area B.
The Loan Agreement provides that the Agency may substitute Tax Revenues (which are derived from the
tax increment revenues of the Northwest Project Area as herein defined)with Merged Area A Tax Revenues upon
meeting each of the below conditions:
(1) The Agency and the Authority shall have approved by resolution the substitution of the
Tax Revenues for the Series A Bonds with the Merged Area A Tax Revenues and said approval has not
been repealed, amended or modified since its adoption and is in full force and effect on the Substitution
Date;
(2) A Fiscal Consultant's Report (the "FCR") for the Merged Area A Project Area shall be
delivered to the Trustee demonstrating that there is an amount of surplus tax increment revenue from the
Merged Area A at least equal to the tax increment revenue that was pledged from the Northwest Project
Area for the Series A Bonds on the Closing Date;
(3) A certification from a Fiscal Consultant stating that the surplus tax increment revenues
from the Merged Area A Project Area are at least equal to the surplus tax increment from the Northwest
Project Area;
13
P:\Ag=das\Age Anaeh =WExhibns\2010\12-06-10 Raovery Zone JPFA_CD -Pro ii Offil.1 Stat..I(Edibit Kdoe
(4) Delivery of an opinion of Bond Counsel that such substitution of tax increment revenues
is consistent with the provisions of the Indenture and the Loan Agreement and that all other required
conditions under the Loan Agreement, including any disclosures to the Bondholders have been made; and
that such substitution is a valid and enforceable obligation of the Agency pursuant to the terms of the
Indenture and the Loan Agreement;
(5) Written verification from the Rating Agency that the rating on the Series A Bonds will
not be diminished or withdrawn by reason of the substitution of tax increment revenues; and
(6) The Agency shall delivery notice to the Trustee that pursuant to the terms of the
Indenture and Loan Agreement, all conditions precedent to the substitution of pledged tax increment
revenues have occurred, together with (i) the FCR for the Merged Area A, (ii) the certification from the
financial consultant, written verification of the continuation of rating by the Rating Agency and (iii) the
supplemental opinion of Bond Counsel,and therein setting forth the Substitution Date.
The Trustee shall disseminate a notice to the bondholders and to the Rating Agency stating that pursuant
to the Indenture and the Loan Agreement, there has been a substitution of pledged tax increment revenues as
authorized by the Indenture and the Loan Agreement.
RISK FACTORS
The following information should be considered by prospective investors in evaluating the Bonds.
However, the following does not purport to be an exhaustive listing of risks and other considerations which may
be relevant to investing in the Bonds. In addition,the order in which the following information is presented is not
intended to reflect the relative importance of any such risks.
To estimate the revenues expected to be available to pay debt service on the Loan and, thus, the Bonds,
the Agency has made certain assumptions with regard to the assessed valuation in the Project Area, future tax
rates and percentage of taxes collected. The Agency believes these assumptions to be reasonable,but to the extent
that the assessed valuation, the tax rates or the percentage of taxes collected are less than the Agency's
assumptions, the Tax Revenues available to pay debt service on the Loan securing the Bonds will, in all
likelihood,be less than those projected.
Reduction in Taxable Value
Tax Revenues allocated to the Agency are determined by the amount of incremental taxable value in the
Project Area and the current rate or rates at which property in the Project Area is taxed. The reduction of taxable
values of property caused by economic factors beyond the Agency's control, such as a relocation out of one or
more of the Project Area by one or more major property owners, or the transfer, pursuant to California Revenue
and Taxation Code Section 68, of a lower assessed valuation to property within the Project Area by a person
displaced by eminent domain or similar proceedings, or the discovery of hazardous substances on a property
within the Project Area (see "Hazardous Substances," below) or the complete or partial destruction of such
property caused by, among other eventualities, an earthquake, flood or other natural disaster, could cause a
reduction in the Tax Revenues securing the Loan securing the Bonds. Property owners may also appeal to the
County Assessor for a reduction of their assessed valuations or the County Assessor could order a blanket
reduction in assessed valuations based on then current economic conditions. Such a reduction of assessed
valuations and the resulting decline in Tax Revenues or the resulting property tax refunds could have an adverse
effect on the Agency's ability to make timely payments of principal of and interest on the Loan securing the
Bonds. See"Appeals of Assessed Values"below.
14
P1Agmdss\AgtMa Anwb MsTxhibas\2010\12-06-10 Rao Z.dPFA_CD -Preliminary O ficuI State .,(Exhibit a)doc
Appeals of Assessed Values
Pursuant to California law,property owners may apply for a reduction of their property tax assessment by
filing a written application, in form prescribed by the State Board of Equalization, with the appropriate county
board of equalization or assessment appeals board.
After the applicant and the assessor have presented their arguments, the Appeals Board makes a final
decision on the proper assessed value. The Appeals Board may rule in the assessor's favor, in the applicant's
favor, or the Board may set their own opinion of the proper assessed value, which may be more or less than either
the assessor's opinion or the applicant's opinion.
Any reduction in the assessment ultimately granted applies to the year for which the application is made
and may also affect the values in subsequent years. Refunds for taxpayer overpayment of property taxes may
include refunds for overpayment of taxes in years after that which was appealed. Current year values may also be
adjusted as a result of a successful appeal of prior year values. Any taxpayer payment of property taxes that is
based on a value that is subsequently adjusted downward will require a refund for overpayment.
Appeals for reduction in the "base year" value of an assessment, if successful, reduce the assessment for
the year in which the appeal is taken and prospectively thereafter. The base year is determined by the completion
date of new construction or the date of change of ownership. Any base year appeal must be made within four
years of the change of ownership or new construction date.
Appeals may also be filed under Section 51 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, which requires that for
each lien date the value of real property shall be the lesser of its base year value annually adjusted by the inflation
factor pursuant to Article XIIIA of the State Constitution or its full cash value, taking into account reductions in
value due to damage, destruction, depreciation, obsolescence, removal of property or other factors causing a
decline in value. Significant reductions have taken place in some counties due to declining real estate values.
Reductions made under this code section may be initiated by the County Assessor or requested by the property
owner. After a roll reduction is granted under this section, the property is reviewed on an annual basis to
determine its full cash value and the valuation is adjusted accordingly. This may result in further reductions or in
value increases. Such increases must be in accordance with the full cash value of the property and it may exceed
the maximum annual inflationary growth rate allowed on other properties under Article XIIIA of the State
Constitution. Once the property has regained its prior value, adjusted for inflation, it once again is subject to the
annual inflationary factor growth rate allowed under Article XIIIA.
Reduction in Inflationary Rate
As described in greater detail below, Article XIIIA of the California Constitution provides that the full
cash value base of real property used in determining taxable value may be adjusted annually to reflect the
inflationary rate, not to exceed a 2% annual increase, or may be reduced to reflect a reduction in the consumer
price index or comparable local data. Such measure is computed on a calendar year basis. Because Article XIIIA
limits inflationary assessed value adjustments to the lesser of the actual inflationary rate or 2%, there have been
years in which the assessed values were adjusted by actual inflationary rates,which were less than 2%,but greater
than 0%. Since 1978, the annual adjustment for inflation has fallen below the 2% limitation five times from
1983/84, 1995/06, 1996/07, 1999/00 and 2004/05. The Authority and the Agency are unable to predict the
adjustments,if any,to the full cash value base of real property within the Project Area.
Levy and Collection
Neither the Authority nor the Agency has any independent power to levy and collect property taxes. Any
reduction in the tax rate or the implementation of any constitutional or legislative property tax decrease could
15
P:UVralas\Agenda Attacbmea%\Ebibhst3010U2-06-10 Recovery Zone 1PFA_CDC-Preliminary Official Statement(Ex bit E).doc
reduce the Tax Revenues, and accordingly, could have an adverse impact on the ability of the Authority to repay
the Bonds. Likewise, delinquencies in the payment of property taxes could have an adverse effect on the
Agency's ability to make timely debt service payments on the Loan securing the Bonds.
Bankruptcy Risks
The enforceability of the rights and remedies of the owners of the Bonds and the obligations of the
Authority and the Agency may become subject to the following: the federal bankruptcy code and applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of
creditors' rights generally, now or hereafter in effect; usual equitable principles which may limit the specific
enforcement under state law of certain remedies: the exercise by the United States of America of the powers
delegated to it by the federal Constitution; and the reasonable and necessary exercise, in certain exceptional
situations of the police power inherent in the sovereignty of the State of California and its governmental bodies in
the interest of servicing a significant and legitimate public purpose. Bankruptcy proceedings, or the exercise of
powers by the federal or state government, if initiated,could subject the owners of the Bonds to judicial discretion
and interpretation of their rights in bankruptcy or otherwise and consequently may entail risks of delay, limitation,
or modification of their rights.
SB 211
In 2001, the California Legislature enacted SB 211, Chapter 741, Statutes 2001, which became effective
January 1, 2002 ("SB 211"). SB 211 provides, among other things that, at any time after January 1, 2002, the
limitation on incurring indebtedness contained in a redevelopment plan adopted prior to January 1, 1994, may be
deleted by ordinance of the legislative body. However, such deletion triggers statutory tax sharing with those
taxing entities that do not have tax sharing agreements. Tax sharing will be calculated based on the increase in
assessed valuation after the year in which the limitation would otherwise have become effective.
SB 211 also authorizes the amendment of a redevelopment plan adopted prior to January 1, 1994, to
extend for not more than 10 years, the effectiveness of the redevelopment plan, the time to receive tax increment
revenues and to pay indebtedness. Any such extension must meet certain specified requirements, including the
requirement that the public body establish the existence of both physical and economic blight within a specified
geographical area of the redevelopment project and that any additional tax increment revenues received by the
Redevelopment Commission because of the extension be used solely within the designated blighted area.
Education Revenue Augmentation Fund(ERAF)
ERAF and State Budgets and Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund legislation has required
redevelopment agencies, including the Agency, to pay into a special fund for the benefit of local schools for the
1992-93, 1993-94, 1994-95, 2002-03, 2003-04, 2004-05, 2005-06, 2009-10 and 2010-11 fiscal years. It is
possible that, in addition to these payment requirements, and the limitations on Tax Revenues described herein,
the California electorate or Legislature could adopt a constitutional or legislative property tax decrease with the
effect of reducing Tax Revenues payable to the Agency. There is no assurance that the California electorate or
Legislature will not at some future time approve additional limitations that could reduce the Tax Revenues and
adversely affect the security of the Bonds. See "BONDO"ERS' RISKS — State Budgets and Educational
Revenue Augmentation Fund."
Hazardous Substances
An additional environmental condition that may result in the reduction in the assessed value of property
would be the discovery of a hazardous substance that would limit the beneficial use of taxable property within the
Project Area. In general, the owners and operators of a property may be required by law to remedy conditions of
16
P;Agcn+s\Agenda Anwc mts\ExhibitsUOW12-06.10 Rao Zone RFA_CM-P elmw,Official Stv m(Exbib4 B).EOc
the property relating to releases or threatened releases of hazardous substances. The owner or operator may be
required to remedy a hazardous substance condition of property whether or not the owner or operator has anything
to do with creating or handling the hazardous substance. The effect, therefore, should any of the property within
the Project Area be affected by a hazardous substance, could be to reduce the marketability and value of the
property by the costs of remedying the condition.
Secondary Market
There can be no guarantee that there will be a secondary market for the Bonds, or, if a secondary market
exists,that such Bonds can be sold for any particular price. Occasionally,because of general market conditions or
because of adverse history or economic prospects connected with a particular issue, secondary marketing
practices in connection with a particular issue are suspended or terminated. Additionally, prices of issues for
which a market is being made will depend upon the then prevailing circumstances. Such prices could be
substantially different from the original purchase price.
Federal Subsidy Payments on Recovery Zone Economic Development Bonds
The Authority intends to elect to designate the Series A Bonds as "Recovery Zone Economic
Development Bonds"and intends to elect to designate the Series B Bonds as"Build America Bonds"for purposes
of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 signed into law on February 17, 2009 (the "Recovery
Act') and to receive a cash subsidy payment from the United States Department of Treasury equal to 45% of the
interest payable on the Series A Bonds on or about each interest payment date for the Series A Bonds (each such
cash subsidy payment, a"Federal Direct Payment').
Pursuant to the Indenture, the Authority has pledged all Federal Direct Payments it receives pursuant to
the Series A Bonds to the Trustee to be deposited into the Revenue Fund to be used solely for the purpose of
paying the principal of and interest on the Bonds, including the redemption price thereof.
The Code imposes requirements that the Authority must continue to meet after the Series A Bonds are
issued in order to receive the Federal Direct Payments. These requirements generally involve the way that
Economic Development Bond proceeds must be invested and ultimately used, and the periodic submission of
requests for payment. If the Authority and the Agency do not meet these requirements, it is possible that the
Authority may not receive the Federal Direct Payments.
The Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") has implemented an examination program for Build America
Bonds, which would include Recovery Zone Economic Development Bonds, and no assurance can be given that
the Series A Bonds will not be selected for a more detailed or comprehensive examination. In the event the IRS
files a proposed adverse determination letter as a result of such an examination, announced IRS policy is to
suspend payment to the Authority of the Federal Direct Payments pending a final determination of the
qualification of the Series A Bonds. Furthermore, in certain circumstances, the Federal Direct Payments may be
reduced(offset)by amounts determined to be applicable under the Code and regulations promulgated thereunder.
For example, offsets may occur by reason of any past-due legally enforceable debt of the Authority to any Federal
agency. The amount of any such offsets is not predictable, but neither the Authority nor the Agency currently
expects that any such offsets will apply to the credits the Authority expects to receive.
LIMITATIONS ON TAX REVENUES AND POSSIBLE SPENDING LIMITATIONS
Property Tax Limitations-Article XIIIA
California voters, on June 6, 1978, approved an amendment (commonly known as both Proposition 13
and the Jarvis-Gann Initiative)to the California Constitution. This amendment, which added Article XIIIA to the
17
PiAgeo su ge aAtlachmemstEx Ust2010U2-06-10 RecoveryZ mIPFA CDC-P Iimmt ORieW Statement(Enbibk B)doc
California Constitution, among other things, affects the valuation of real property for the purpose of taxation in
that it defines the full cash value of property to mean "the county assessor's valuation of real property as shown
on the 1975/76 tax bill under full cash value, or thereafter, the appraised value of real property when purchased,
newly constructed, or a change in ownership has occurred after the 1975 assessment". The full cash value may be
adjusted annually to reflect inflation at a rate not to exceed 2% per year, or any reduction in the consumer price
index or comparable local data, or any reduction in the event of declining property value caused by damage,
destruction or other factors. The amendment further limits the amount of any ad valorem tax on real property to
1%of the full cash value except that additional taxes may be levied to pay debt service on indebtedness approved
by the voters prior to July 1, 1978. In addition, an amendment to Article XM was adopted in June 1986 by
initiative which exempts any bonded indebtedness approved by two-thirds of the votes cast by voters for the
acquisition or improvement of real property from the 1 percent limitation.
In the general election held November 4, 1986, voters of the State of California approved two measures,
Propositions 58 and 60,which further amend Article XIIIA. Proposition 58 amends Article XIIIA to provide that
the terms "purchased" and "change of ownership," for purposes of determining full cash value of property under
Article X111A, do not include the purchase or transfer of(1) real property between spouses and (2) the principal
residence and the first$1,000,000 of other property between parents and children.
Proposition 60 amends Article XIIIA to permit the Legislature to allow persons over age 55 who sell their
residence to buy or build another of equal or lesser value within two years in the same county, to transfer the old
residence's assessed value to the new residence. Pursuant to Proposition 60, the Legislature has enacted
legislation permitting counties to implement the provisions of Proposition 60.
Challenges to Article XHIA
There have been many challenges to Article X111A of the California Constitution. The United States
Supreme Court heard the appeal in Nordlinger v. Hahn, a challenge relating to residential property. Based upon
the facts presented in Nordlinger, the United States Supreme Court held that the method of property tax
assessment under Article XIIIA did not violate the federal Constitution. The Authority and the Agency cannot
predict whether there will be any future challenges to California's present system of property tax assessment and
cannot evaluate the ultimate effect on the Agency's receipt of tax increment revenues should a future decision
hold unconstitutional the method of assessing property.
Implementing Legislation
Legislation enacted by the California Legislature to implement Article XIIIA (Statutes of 1978, Chapter
292, as amended) provides that, notwithstanding any other law, local agencies may not levy any property tax,
except to pay debt service on indebtedness approved by the voters prior to July 1, 1978, and that each county will
levy the maximum tax permitted by Article XIIIA.
The apportionment of property taxes in fiscal years after 1978/79 has been revised pursuant to Statutes of
1979, Chapter 282 which provides relief funds from State moneys beginning in fiscal year 1978/79 and is
designed to provide a permanent system for sharing State taxes and budget surplus funds with local agencies.
Under Chapter 282, cities and counties receive about one-third more of the remaining property tax revenues
collected under Proposition 13 instead of direct State aid. School districts receive a correspondingly reduced
amount of property taxes,but receive compensation directly from the State and are given additional relief.
Future assessed valuation growth allowed under Article X111A (new construction, change of ownership,
2% annual value growth) will be allocated on the basis of"situs" among the jurisdictions that serve the tax rate
area within which the growth occurs except for certain utility property assessed by the State Board of Equalization
which is allocated by a different method discussed herein.

Property Tax Collection Procedures
Classifications. In California, property which is subject to ad valorem taxes is classified as "secured" or
"unsecured." Secured and unsecured property is entered on separate parts of the assessment roll maintained by
the county assessor. The secured classification includes property on which any property tax levied by the County
becomes a lien on that property sufficient, in the opinion of the county assessor, to secure payment of the taxes.
Every tax which becomes a lien on secured property has priority over all other liens on the secured property,
regardless of the time of the creation of other liens. A tax levied on unsecured property does not become a lien
against unsecured property,but may become a lien on certain other property owned by the taxpayer.
Collections. The method of collecting delinquent taxes is substantially different for the two
classifications of property. The taxing authority has four ways of collecting unsecured property taxes in the
absence of timely payment by the taxpayer: (1) a civil action against the taxpayer; (2) filing a certificate in the
office of the county clerk specifying certain facts in order to obtain a judgment lien on certain property of the
taxpayer; (3) filing a certificate of delinquency for record in the county recorder's office, in order to obtain a lien
on certain property of the taxpayer; and(4) seizure and sale of the personal property, improvements or possessory
interests belonging or assessed to the assessee.
The exclusive means of enforcing the payment of delinquent taxes with respect to property on the secured
roll is the sale of property securing the taxes to the State for the amount of taxes which are delinquent.
Penalties. A 10%penalty is added to delinquent taxes which have been levied with respect to property on
the secured roll. In addition, property on the secured roll on which taxes are delinquent is declared in default on
or about June 30 of the fiscal year. Such property may thereafter be redeemed by payment of the delinquent taxes
and a delinquency penalty, plus a redemption penalty of 1.5% per month to the time of redemption and a $15
Redemption Fee. If taxes are unpaid for a period of five years or more, the property is recorded in a "Power to
Sell" status and is subject to sale by the county tax collector. A 10% penalty also applies to the delinquent taxes
on property on the unsecured roll, and further, an additional penalty of 1-1/2%per month accrues with respect to
such taxes beginning the first day of the third month following the delinquency date.
Delinquencies. The valuation of property is determined as of January 1 each year and equal installments
of taxes levied upon secured property become delinquent on the following December 10 and June 10. Taxes on
unsecured property are due January 1. Unsecured taxes enrolled by July 31, if unpaid, are delinquent August 31
at 5:00 p.m. and are subject to penalty; unsecured taxes added to roll after July 31,if unpaid, are delinquent on the
last day of the month succeeding the month of enrollment.
Supplemental Assessments. A bill enacted in 1983, SB 813 (Statutes of 1983, Chapter 498), provides for
the supplemental assessment and taxation of property as of the occurrence of a change in ownership or completion
of new construction. The statute may provide increased revenue to redevelopment agencies to the extent that
supplemental assessments as a result of new construction or changes of ownership occur within the boundaries of
redevelopment projects subsequent to the lien date. To the extent such supplemental assessments occur within the
Project Area,Tax Revenues may increase.
Tax Collection Fees. SB 2557 (Chapter 466, Statutes of 1990) authorizes county auditors to determine
property tax administration costs proportionately attributable to local jurisdictions and to submit invoices to the
ijurisdictions for such costs. Subsequent legislation specifically includes redevelopment agencies among the
1 entities which are subject to a property tax administration charge.

Unitary Property
AB 2890 (Statutes of 1986, Chapter 1457) provides that, commencing with the fiscal year 1988/89,
assessed value derived from State-assessed unitary property (consisting mostly of operational property owned by
utility companies and herein defined as"Unitary Property") is to be allocated county-wide as follows: (i)each tax
rate area will receive the same amount from each assessed utility received in the previous fiscal year unless the
applicable county-wide values are insufficient to do so, in which case values will be allocated to each tax rate area
on a pro-rata basis; and(ii)if values to be allocated are greater than in the previous fiscal year, each tax rate area
will receive a pro-rata share of the increase from each assessed utility according to a specified formula.
Additionally, the lien date on State-assessed property has been changed to January 1. Railroad property will
continue to be assessed and revenues allocated to all tax rate areas where the railroad property is sited.
Appropriations Limitations-Article XHM
On November 6, 1979, California voters approved Proposition 4, the so-called Gann Initiative, which
added Article XIIIB to the California Constitution. The principal effect of Article XHM is to limit the annual
appropriations of the State and any city, county, school district, authority or other political subdivision of the State
to the level of appropriations for the prior fiscal year, as adjusted for changes in the cost of living, population and
services rendered by the government entity.
Effective November 30, 1980,the California Legislature added Section 33678 to the Redevelopment Law
which provided that the allocation of taxes to a redevelopment agency for the purpose of paying principal of, or
interest on, loans, advances, or indebtedness shall not be deemed the receipt by such agency of proceeds of taxes
levied by or on behalf of the agency within the meaning of Article XIIIB, nor shall such portion of taxes be
deemed receipt of taxes by, or an appropriation subject to the limitation of, any other public body within the
meaning or for the purpose of the Constitution and laws of the State, including Section 33678 of the
Redevelopment Law.
Proposition 218
On November 5, 1996, California voters approved Proposition 218—Voter Approval for Local
Government Taxes—Limitation on Fees, Assessments, and Charges—Initiative Constitutional Amendment.
Proposition 218 added Articles XIIIC and XIIID to the California Constitution, imposing certain vote
requirements and other limitations on the imposition of new or increased taxes, assessments and property-related
fees and charges. Tax Revenues securing the Loan securing the Bonds are derived from property taxes which are
outside the scope of taxes, assessments and property-related fees and charges which were limited by Proposition
218.
AB 1290 and AB 1342
In 1993, the Califomia Legislature enacted Assembly Bill 1290 ("AB 1290") which contained several
significant changes in the Redevelopment Law. Among the changes made by AB 1290 was a provision which
limits the period of time for incurring and repaying of loans, advances and indebtedness which are payable from
tax increment revenues. In general, a redevelopment plan may terminate not more than 40 years following the
date of original adoption,and loans, advances and indebtedness may be repaid during a period extending not more
than 10 years following the date of termination of the redevelopment plan. AB 1342 was passed in 1998 and
became effective January 1, 1999. This bill permits agencies having limits shorter than those permitted by AB
1290 to amend their plans to incorporate the maximum permitted limits without complying with the statutory plan
amendment process.

Future Initiatives
Article XIIIA, Article XIIIB and certain other propositions affecting property tax levies were each
adopted as measures which qualified for the ballot pursuant to California's initiative process. From time to time
other initiative measures could be adopted, further affecting Agency revenues or the Agency's ability to expand
revenues.
THE AUTHORITY
The San Bernardino Joint Powers Financing Authority was established pursuant to a Joint Exercise of
Powers Agreement dated August 21, 1989, by and between the City and the Agency. The Authority was created
for the purpose of providing financing for redevelopment activities for the City, the Agency, or other local
agencies in the State of California, the acquisition, construction or installation by the Authority of public capital
improvements and/or the purchase by the Authority of public obligation within the meaning of the Marks-Roos
Act. The Authority is authorized pursuant to the Marks-Roos Act to borrow money for the purpose of financing
the acquisition of bonds, notes and other obligation of, or for the purpose of making loans to, the City, the
Agency, or such other local agencies to provide financing for redevelopment activities of the City or the Agency.
Included as Appendix A to this Official Statement is certain general information with respect to the City.
Such information is included for general background purposes only. The Bonds do not constitute a debt to the
City or the Agency, and neither the City, the Agency, the State nor any of its political subdivisions is liable
therefor.
THE AGENCY
The Agency was established pursuant to the Redevelopment Law and activated by the appropriate actions
of the Mayor and Common Council of the City of San Bernardino in 1952. The Agency is responsible for
redeveloping and upgrading blighted areas of the City. The seven members of the Common Council serve as the
governing body of the Agency and exercise all the rights, powers, duties and privileges of the Agency. The
Mayor of the City serves as Agency Chairperson.
All powers of the Agency are vested in its governing body. Pursuant to the Redevelopment Law, the
Agency may exercise broad governmental functions and authority to accomplish its purpose, including, but not
limited to, the right to issue notes and expend their proceeds and the right to acquire, sell, develop, administer or
lease property. The Agency may demolish buildings, clear land and cause to be constructed certain
improvements,including streets, sidewalks and public utilities.
With certain exceptions, the Agency may not construct or develop buildings, with the exception of public
facilities, but must sell or lease clear property to redevelopers for construction and development in accordance
with the Redevelopment Plan.
THE PROJECT AREA
The Redevelopment Plan for the Northwest Project Area was adopted on July 6, 1981, by Ordinance No.
MC-189, which became effective on August 7, 1982. Located in the northwest quadrant of the City of San
Bernardino, the Project Area is divided into Subarea A and Subarea B. The Project Area primarily encompasses
the parcels along thoroughfares in the northwest area of the City. This includes portions of Highland Avenue,
Muscoy Street,and Mount Vernon Avenue.
Subarea A, encompassing 940 acres, is located south of Cajon Boulevard, north of Seventh Street and
west of Interstate 215. This area focuses on commercial corridors along portions of Highland Avenue, Baseline
21

Avenue, Medical Center Drive and Mount Vernon Avenue. San Bernardino Community Hospital and the
Westside Shopping Center are major employers within this area.
Subarea B, encompassing 500 acres, is located north of Devil's Creek Diversion Channel, southeasterly
of Palm, south of Interstate-215, and east and west of Cajon Boulevard. This area is designated for industrial uses
with vacant land available for development. A bridge was built connecting the industrial area to the State College
Business Park industrial area, allowing for better freeway access. The area is in close proximity to Interstate-215
and Interstate-15 freeway interchange.
The Project Area has a community shopping center, which was constructed with the assistance of the
Agency, a four-story, 100,000 square-foot medical office building, a 316,000 sq. ft. adhesive manufacturing and
distribution center and a 75 unit senior housing complex,among other development.
The California Community Redevelopment Law (California Health and Safety Code §§33000 et seq.)
("CRU) requires the Redevelopment Plan to contain certain time and financial limits governing the
administration and financial operations of the Agency. Time limits include the Agency's ability to incur debt,
undertake Redevelopment Plan activities, and collect tax increment revenue to repay debt. Financial limits
include the amount of bonded indebtedness that may be outstanding at any one time and the cumulative amount of
gross tax increment that the Agency may collect. The Agency's time limit to incur debt was eliminated by
Ordinance No. MC-1157 on December 1, 2003 pursuant to Senate Bill 211 (Chapter 741, Statutes of 2001). The
time limits on Redevelopment Plan effectiveness and collection of tax increment to repay debt are July 6, 2025
and July 6, 2035, respectively. Both time limits were extended pursuant to Senate Bill 1045 (Chapter 260,
Statutes of 2003) by one year on June 20, 2005 by Ordinance No. MC-1202, and subsequently extended pursuant
to Senate Bill 1096 (Chapter 211, Statutes of 2004) for two additional years on April 20, 2009 by Ordinance No.
MC-1297. These extensions were authorized by state budget trailer bills related to the shift of Agency tax
increment revenues to the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund in specified years.
All of the Plan limits described above may only be amended by a Redevelopment Plan amendment in
accordance with the CRL.The table below outlines the current Redevelopment Plan limits for the Project Area.

Pass-through Agreements
The Agency entered into one agreement for the allocation and distribution of the tax increment funds
from the Project Area. The Agency's obligations under the pass-through agreement are senior to the receipt of tax
revenues.
In 1982, the County of San Bernardino and the Agency entered into an Interim Agreement for the Project
Area, which required the mutual reevaluation of the financial impacts of the Project Area within 5 years of the
adoption of the Plan. During the 1988 reevaluation, the County and the Agency failed to come to an agreement
on the financial impact of the Project Area. Failure of these negotiations and the lack of an adopted substitute
agreement between the parties have resulted in the County and the Flood Control District retaining their share of
the 1%property tax levy for the Project Area. The combined County-Flood Control District share of the 1% levy
is 34%.
The Agency, in January 2004, extended the time limit for the last date to incur debt, Senate Bill 211,
which then required the Agency to remit pass-through payments to taxing entities within the Project Area. The
Agency's obligation under SB 211 for pass-through payments is senior to receipt of tax revenues.

Teeter Plan
The San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors has adopted the Alternative Method of Distribution of Tax
Levies and Collections and of Tax Sale Proceeds (the "Teeter Plan"), as provided for in Section 4701 et seq., of the
State Revenue and Taxation Code commencing with fiscal year 93-94 with respect to public agencies which receive
and valorem tax revenues. However, the redevelopment agencies within the County are not allowed to be in the
Teeter Plan. As a result,the "Teeter Plan" is not applicable to the Tax Revenues. It is the experience of the Agency
that it receives more Tax Revenues under the existing method, than it would under the Teeter Plan, due to interest
and penalties charged on delinquent taxes.
Tax Rate
The difference between the actual tax rate and the 1.00% tax rate established by Article XHIA of the
California Constitution represents taxes levied to pay debt approved by the respective voters.
Senate Bill 2557
In 1990,the State enacted Senate Bill 2557 which allows counties to charge fees to local jurisdictions for the
cost of preparing and overseeing the tax roll. Since supplemental revenues historically have offset the administrative
costs, the Historical Valuations showing the available Tax Revenues do not take such administrative costs into
account.
Annual Debt Service
Tax Revenues (as defined in the section "SECURITY FOR THE BONDS") will be received from the
Agency by the Authority pursuant to the Loan Agreement. The Authority will transfer Tax Revenues to the Trustee
to be deposited in the Revenue Fund and applied to the payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds. The
following Table shows the projected Debt Service on the Bonds and all senior and parity debt outstanding.

Planned Merger of Project Areas
The Agency is in the initial stages of a merger of its fourteen (14) redevelopment project areas into two (2)
redevelopment project areas, Merged Area A Project Area and Merged Area B Project Area. In the event the
mergers are completed, it is expected that the existing fourteen (14) redevelopment project areas will be within a
Merged Area A Project Area or Merged Area B Project Area. After the completion of the Merged Area A Project
Area, the 4`h Street Project will be within the Merged Area A Project Area, consisting of Central City North,
Southeast Industrial Park, Tri-City, South Valle, Meadowbrook/Central City, Central City South and Central City
Redevelopment Project Areas. The Northwest Redevelopment Project Area, which revenues constitute the Tax
Revenues (as herein defined), will be within the Merged Area B Project Area in the event that the Merged Area B
Project Area is completed.
The proposed mergers will result in increasing the total amount of tax increment revenue that can be
accumulated within each of the merged areas,combining the individual project areas' bonded indebtedness limits and
increasing the total amount of bonded indebtedness that can be accumulated for each merged area, and with respect
to some of the project areas, extending the plan effectiveness by ten(10)years.
In the event that the Merged Area B Project Area is adopted, with respect to the Series A Bonds, the
Indenture and Loan Agreement provide that upon meeting certain conditions, namely, (i) delivery to the Trustee of a
Fiscal Consultant's Report and certification by said Fiscal Consultant demonstrating that the pledged tax increment
revenues from the Merged Area A Project Area are at least equal to the pledged Tax Revenues from the Northwest
Project Area on the original Closing Date, (ii) delivery of an opinion of bond counsel stating that the pledge is
consistent with the provisions of the Trust Indenture and the Loan Agreement, and(iii) confirmation in writing from
S&P that the rating on the Series A Bonds will not be diminished or removed by reason of the substitution, all
references to "Project Area" and "Tax Revenues" with respect to the Series A Bonds shall become "Merger A Tax
Revenues"as defined in the Indenture. See"SECURITY FOR THE BONDS—Merger of Project Areas."
MISCELLANEOUS
Enforceability of Remedies
The remedies available to the Trustee or the Authority or the owners of the Bonds upon a default under the
Indenture or the Loan Agreement are in many respects dependent upon judicial actions, which are often subject to
discretion and delay. Under existing constitutional and statutory law and judicial decisions, including specifically
Title I1 of the United States Code (the Federal Bankruptcy Code) and relevant banking and insurance law, the
remedies provided in the Indenture may not be readily available or may be limited. The various legal opinions to be
delivered concurrently with the delivery of the Bonds will be qualified as to the enforceability of the various legal
instruments by limitations imposed by bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or other similar laws affecting the
rights of creditors generally.
Absence of Litigation
As of the date of issuance of the Bonds, officers of the City, the Agency and the Authority will execute
certificates to the effect that there is no controversy or litigation now pending against the City, the Agency or the
Authority, or to the knowledge of its officers threatened, restraining or enjoining the issuance, sale, execution or
delivery of the Bonds, or in any way contesting or affecting the validity of the Bonds.

Tax Matters
The following is a summary of certain material federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership
and disposition of the Bonds for the investors described below and is based on the advice of Lewis Brisbois Bisgaard
& Smith LLP, as Bond Counsel. This summary is based upon laws, regulations, rulings and decisions currently in
effect, all of which are subject to change. The discussion does not deal with all federal tax consequences applicable
to all categories of investors, some of which may be subject to special rules, including but not limited to,partnerships
or entities treated as partnerships for federal income tax purposes, pension plans and foreign investors, except as
otherwise indicated. In addition, this summary is generally limited to investors that are "U.S. holders" (as defined
below) who will hold the Bonds as "capital assets" (generally, property held for investment) within the meaning of
Section 1221 of the Tax Code. Investors should consult their own tax advisors to determine the federal, state, local
and other tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of Bonds. Prospective investors should note
that no rulings have been or will be sought from the Internal Revenue Service (the "Service") with respect to any of
the federal income tax consequences discussed below, and no assurance can be given that the Service will not take
contrary positions.
As used herein, a"U.S. holder"is a"U.S.person"that is beneficial owner of a Bond. A"non U.S. holder" is
a holder(or beneficial owner)of a Bond that is not a U.S. person. For these purposes, a"U.S. Person" is a citizen or
resident of the United States, a corporation or partnership created or organized in or under the laws of the United
States or any political subdivision thereof(except, in the case of a partnership,to the extent otherwise provided in the
Treasury Regulations), an estate the income of which is subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of
its source or a trust if(i)a United States court is able to exercise primary supervision over the trust's administration
and(ii)one or more United States persons have the authority to control all of the trust's substantial decisions.
In General. The Authority intends to elect to designate the Series A Series A Bonds as taxable "Recovery
Zone Economic Development Series A Bonds"pursuant to Section 140OU-2 of the Tax Code. Although the Series A
Series A Bonds are issued by the Authority, interest on the Series A Series A Bonds (including original issue
discount treated as interest) is not excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes under Section 103
of the Tax Code. Interest on the Series A Series A Bonds (including original issue discount treated as interest) will
be fully subject to federal income taxation. Thus, owners of the Series A Series A Bonds generally must include
interest (including original issue discount treated as interest) on the Series A Series A Bonds in gross income for
federal income tax purposes.
To ensure compliance with Treasury Circular 230, holders of the Series A Bonds should be aware and are
hereby put on notice that: (a)the discussion in this Official Statement with respect to U.S. federal income tax
consequences of owning the Series A Bonds is not intended or written to be used, and cannot be used, by any
taxpayer for the purpose of avoiding penalties that may be imposed on the taxpayer; (b)such discussion was written
in connection with the promotion or marketing (within the meaning of Treasury Circular 230) of the transactions or
matters addressed by such discussion; and(c)each taxpayer should seek advice based on its particular circumstances
from an independent tax advisor.
Recovery Zone Economic Development Series A Bonds. The Series A Bonds are expected to be issued as
taxable, Recovery Zone Economic Development Series A Bonds as authorized by the Recovery Act. Pursuant to the
Recovery Act,the Authority expects to receive cash subsidy payments from the United States Treasury equal to 45%
of the interest payable on the Series A Bonds. The Tax Code imposes requirements on the Series A Bonds that the
Authority must continue to meet after the Series A Bonds are issued in order to receive the cash subsidy payments.
These requirements generally involve the way that Series A Bond proceeds must be invested and ultimately used, and
the periodic submission of requests for payment. If the Authority does not meet these requirements,it is possible that
the Authority may not receive the cash subsidy payments.

Characterization of the Trust Estate. Lewis Brisbois Bisgaard& Smith LLP will render on the closing date,
with respect to the Series A Bonds, its opinion to the effect that the Series A Bonds will be treated as debt of the
Authority for federal income tax purposes. Similarly,the Authority intends that the Series A Bonds will be treated as
indebtedness of the Authority for federal income tax purposes. The owners of the Series A Bonds,by accepting such
Series A Bonds, have agreed to treat the Series A Bonds as indebtedness of the Authority for federal income tax
purposes.
Taxation of Interest Income of the Series A Bonds. Payments of interest with regard to the Series A Bonds
will be includible as ordinary income when received or accrued by the holders thereof in accordance with their
respective methods of accounting and applicable provisions of the Tax Code. If the Series A Bonds are deemed to be
issued with original issue discount, Section 1272 of the Tax Code requires the current ratable inclusion in income of
original issue discount greater than a specified de minimis amount using a constant yield method of accounting. In
general, original issue discount is calculated, with regard to any accrual period, by applying the instrument's yield to
its adjusted issue price at the beginning of the accrual period, reduced by any qualified stated interest (as defined in
the Tax Code ) allocable to the period. The aggregate original issue discount allocable to an accrual period is
allocated to each day included in such period. The holder of a debt instrument must include in income the sum of the
daily portions of original issue discount attributable to the number of days he owned the instrument. The legislative
history of the original issue discount provisions indicates that the calculation and accrual of original issue discount
should be based on the prepayment assumptions used by the parties in pricing the transaction.
Payments of interest received with respect to the Series A Bonds will also constitute investment income for
purposes of certain limitations of the Tax Code concerning the deductibility of investment interest expense. Potential
holders of the Series A Bonds should consult their own tax advisors concerning the treatment of interest payments
with regard to the Series A Bonds.
A purchaser(other than a person who purchases a Series A Bond upon issuance at the issue price) who buys
a Series A Bond at a discount from its principal amount (or its adjusted issue price if issued with original issue
discount greater than a specified de minimis amount)will be subject to the market discount rules of the Tax Code. In
general, the market discount rules of the Tax Code treat principal payments and gain on disposition of a debt
instrument as ordinary income to the extent of accrued market discount. Each potential investor should consult his
tax advisor concerning the application of the market discount rules to the Series A Bonds.
Sale or Exchange of the Series A Bonds. If a Series A Bondholder sells a Series A Bond, such person will
recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on such sale and the Series A
Bondholder's basis in such Series A Bond. Ordinarily, such gain or loss will be treated as a capital gain or loss. At
the present time, the maximum capital gain rate for certain assets held for more than twelve months is 15%.
However, if a Series A Bond was subject to its initial issuance at a discount, a portion of such gain will be
recharacterized as interest and therefore ordinary income. In February of 2009, President Barack Obama proposed
increasing the long-term capital gains rate to 20%. The Authority and Series A Bond Counsel cannot predict whether
this increase will receive Congressional approval.
If the terms of a Series A Bond were materially modified, in certain circumstances, a new debt obligation
would be deemed created and exchanged for the prior obligation in a taxable transaction. Among the modifications
which may be treated as material are those which relate to redemption provisions and, in the case of a nonrecourse
obligation, those which involve the substitution of collateral. Each potential holder of a Series A Bond should
consult its own tax advisor concerning the circumstances in which the Series A Bonds would be deemed reissued and
the likely effects, if any,of such reissuance.
The legal defeasance of the Series A Bonds may result in a deemed sale or exchange of such Series A Bonds
under certain circumstances. Owners of such Series A Bonds should consult their tax advisors as to the federal
income tax consequences of such a defeasance.

determined by statute with respect to interest paid with respect to the Series A Bonds, if the purchasers, upon
issuance, fail to supply the indenture trustee or their brokers with their taxpayer identification numbers, furnish
incorrect taxpayer identification numbers,fail to report interest, dividends or other`reportable payments"(as defined
in the Tax Code) properly, or, under certain circumstances, fail to provide the indenture trustee with a certified
statement, under penalty of perjury,that they are not subject to backup withholding.
Tax Treatment of Original Issue Discount. The Series A Bonds that have an original yield above their
interest rate, as shown on the inside cover page of this Official Statement, are being sold at a discount (the
"Discounted Obligations"). The difference between the initial public offering prices, as set forth on the inside cover
hereof, of the Discounted Obligations and their stated amounts to be paid at maturity, constitutes original issue
discount treated in the same manner for federal income tax purposes as interest,as described above.
In the case of an owner of a Discounted Obligation,the amount of original issue discount which is treated as
having accrued with respect to such Discounted Obligation is added to the cost basis of the owner in determining, for
federal income tax purposes, gain or loss upon disposition of a Discounted Obligation (including its sale,redemption
or payment at maturity). Amounts received upon disposition of a Discounted Obligation which are attributable to
accrued original issue discount will be treated as taxable interest, rather than as taxable gain, for federal income tax
purposes.
Original issue discount is treated as compounding semiannually, at a rate determined by reference to the
yield to maturity of each individual Discounted Obligation, on days which are determined by reference to the
maturity date of such Discounted Obligation. The amount treated as original issue discount on a Discounted
Obligation for a particular semiannual accrual period is equal to (a)the product of(i)the yield to maturity for such
Discounted Obligation (determined by compounding at the close of each accrual period) and (ii)the amount which
would have been the tax basis of such Discounted Obligation at the beginning of the particular accrual period if held
by the original purchaser, (b)less the amount of any interest payable for such Discounted Obligation during the
accrual period. The tax basis is determined by adding to the initial public offering price on such Discounted
Obligation the sum of the amounts which have been treated as original issue discount for such purposes during all
prior periods. If a Discounted Obligation is sold between semiannual compounding dates, original issue discount
which would have been accrued for that semiannual compounding period for federal income tax purposes is to be
apportioned in equal amounts among the days in such compounding period.
The Tax Code contains additional provisions relating to the accrual of original issue discount in the case of
owners of a Discounted Obligation who purchase such Discounted Obligations after the initial offering. Owners of
Discounted Obligations including purchasers of the Discounted Obligations in the secondary market should consult
their own tax advisors with respect to the determination for federal income tax purposes of original issue discount
accrued with respect to such obligations as of any date and with respect to the state and local tax consequences of
owning a Discounted Obligation.
Tax Treatment of Series A Bond Premium. The Series A Bonds that have an original yield below their
interest rate, as shown on the inside cover page of this Official Statement, are being sold at a premium (collectively,
the "Premium Obligations"). An amount equal to the excess of the issue price of a Premium Obligation over its
stated redemption price at maturity constitutes premium on such Premium Obligation. An initial purchaser of such
Premium Obligation must amortize any premium over such Premium Obligation's term using constant yield
principles, based on the purchaser's yield to maturity (or, in the case of Premium Obligations callable prior to their
maturity, by amortizing the premium to the call date, based upon the purchaser's yield to the call date and giving
effect to any call premium). As premium is amortized, it offsets the interest allocable to the corresponding payment
period and the purchaser's basis in such Premium Obligation is reduced by a corresponding amount resulting in an
increase in the gain (or decrease in the loss) to be recognized for federal income tax purposes upon a sale or
33
P:Agedl gcn Anuh MsTE ibus\2010\12-06-10 R ovn Zone RFA_CD -Peeli ki OBfcinl Sute ffl(Exhibi(B)Aoc
disposition of such Premium Obligation prior to its maturity. Even though the purchaser's basis may be reduced, no
federal income tax deduction is allowed. The same treatment is afforded to the Premium Obligations purchased at a
premium in the secondary market. Purchasers of Premium Obligations should consult with their own tax advisors
with respect to the determination and treatment of amortizable premium for federal income tax purposes and with
respect to the state and local tax consequences of owning such Premium Obligations.
State,Local or Foreign Taxation. No representations are made regarding the tax consequences of purchase,
ownership or disposition of the Series A Bonds under the tax laws of any state, locality or foreign jurisdiction(except
as provided in "Exemption Under State Tax Law"). Investors considering an investment in the Series A Bonds
should consult their own tax advisors regarding such tax consequences.
Tax-Exempt Investors. In general, an entity which is exempt from federal income tax under the provisions
of Section 501 of the Tax Code is subject to tax on its unrelated business taxable income. An unrelated trade or
business is any trade or business which is not substantially related to the purpose which forms the basis for such
entity's exemption. However, under the provisions of Section 512 of the Tax Code, interest may be excluded from
the calculation of unrelated business taxable income unless the obligation which gave rise to such interest is subject
to acquisition indebtedness. However, as noted above, Bond Counsel has rendered its opinion that the Series A
Bonds will be characterized as debt for federal income tax purposes. Therefore, except to the extent any holder of a
Series A Bond incurs acquisition indebtedness with respect to a Series A Bond, interest paid or accrued with respect
to such Series A Bondholder may be excluded by such tax exempt Series A Bondholder from the calculation of
unrelated business taxable income. Each potential tax exempt holder of a Series A Bond is urged to consult its own
tax advisor regarding the application of these provisions.
Certain ERISA Considerations. The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended
("ERISA"), imposes certain requirements on "employee benefit plans"(as defined in Section 3(3)of ERISA) subject
to ERISA, including entities such as collective investment funds and separate accounts whose underlying assets
include the assets of such plans(collectively,"ERISA Plan")and on those persons who are fiduciaries with respect to
ERISA Plan. Investments by ERISA Plan are subject to ERISA's general fiduciary requirements, including the
requirement of investment prudence and diversification and the requirement that an ERISA Plan's investments be
made in accordance with the documents governing the ERISA Plan. The prudence of any investment by an ERISA
Plan in the Series A Bonds must be determined by the responsible fiduciary of the ERISA Plan by taking into
account the ERISA Plan's particular circumstances and all of the facts and circumstances of the investment.
Government and non-electing church plans are generally not subject to ERISA. However, such plans may be subject
to similar or other restrictions under state or local law.
In addition, ERISA and the Tax Code generally prohibit certain transactions between an ERISA Plan or a
qualified employee benefit plan under the Tax Code and persons who, with respect to that plan, are fiduciaries or
other "parties in interest" within the meaning of ERISA or "disqualified persons" within the meaning of the Tax
Code. In the absence of an applicable statutory, class or administrative exemption, transactions between an ERISA
Plan and a party in interest with respect to an ERISA Plan, including the acquisition by one from the other of the
Series A Bonds could be viewed as violating those prohibitions. In addition, Tax Code Section 4975 prohibits
transactions between certain tax-favored vehicles such as Individual Retirement Accounts and disqualified persons.
Tax Code Section 503 includes similar restrictions with respect to governmental and church plans. In this regard,the
Authority or any Dealer of the Series A Bonds might be considered or might become a"party in interest" within the
meaning of ERISA or a"disqualified person" within the meaning of the Tax Code, with respect to an ERISA Plan or
a plan or arrangement subject to Tax Code Sections 4975 or 503. Prohibited transactions within the meaning of
ERISA and the Tax Code may arise if the Series A Bonds are acquired by such plans or arrangements with respect to
which the Authority or any Dealer is a party in interest or disqualified person.
In all events, fiduciaries of ERISA Plan and plans or arrangements subject to the above Tax Code Sections,
in consultation with their advisors, should carefully consider the impact of ERISA and the Tax Code on an
34
P:\ g"as\Age a Annd ents\Exhlbks\3010\12-06-10 R ovM z=1PPA CDC-Pmfimhury Official Statcmcat(Exhibit a).doc
investment in the Series A Bonds. The sale of the Series A Bonds to a plan is in no respect a representation by the
Authority or the Underwriter that such an investment meets the relevant legal requirements with respect to benefit
plans generally or any particular plan. Any plan proposing to invest in the Series A Bonds should consult with its
counsel to confirm that such investment is permitted under the plan documents and will not result in a non-
exempt prohibited transaction and will satisfy the other requirements of ERISA, the Tax Code and other
applicable law.
Exemption Under State Tax Law. In the further opinion of Series A Bond Counsel, the Series A Bonds and
the income therefrom are exempt from personal taxation by the State of California.
Chances in Federal and State Tax Law. From time to time, there are legislative proposals in the Congress
and in the states that, if enacted, could alter or amend the federal and state tax matters referred to above or adversely
affect the market value of the Series A Bonds. It cannot be predicted whether or in what form any such proposal
might be enacted or whether if enacted it would apply to bonds issued prior to enactment. In addition, regulatory
actions are from time to time announced or proposed and litigation is threatened or commenced which, if
implemented or concluded in a particular manner, could adversely affect the market value of the Series A Bonds. It
cannot be predicted whether any such regulatory action will be implemented,how any particular litigation or judicial
action will be resolved, or whether the Series A Bonds or the market value thereof would be impacted thereby.
Purchasers of the Series A Bonds should consult their tax advisors regarding any pending or proposed legislation,
regulatory initiatives or litigation. The opinions expressed by Series A Bond Counsel are based upon existing
legislation and regulations as interpreted by relevant judicial and regulatory authorities as of the date of issuance and
delivery of the Series A Bonds and Series A Bond Counsel has expressed no opinion as of any date subsequent
thereto or with respect to any pending legislation,regulatory initiatives or litigation.
The form of opinion expected to be delivered by Series A Bond Counsel for the Series A Bonds is set forth in
"APPENDIX E—FORM OF OPINION OF BOND COUNSEL."
Series B Bonds
The Code establishes certain requirements that must be satisfied subsequent to the issuance of the Series B
Bonds in order that interest on the Series B Bonds be and remain not included in gross income for Federal income tax
purposes, including certain limitations on investment earnings and the rebate of certain moneys to the United States.
Noncompliance with such requirements could cause interest on the Series B Bonds to be included in gross income of
the owners thereof retroactive to the date of issuance of the Series B Bonds,regardless of when such noncompliance
occurs. The Arbitrage and Use of Proceeds Certificate of the Authority, which will be delivered concurrently with
the delivery of the Series B Bonds, will contain provisions and procedures regarding compliance with.the
requirements of the Code. The Authority, in executing the Arbitrage and Use of Proceeds Certificate, will certify to
the effect that it will comply with the provisions and procedures set forth therein and that it will do and perform all
acts and things necessary or desirable in order to assure that interest on the Series B Bonds shall, for purposes of
Federal income taxation,not be included in gross income.
In the opinion of Lewis Brisbois Bisgaard & Smith, Bond Counsel, assuming continuing compliance with
certain conditions imposed by applicable Federal tax law under existing statutes and court decisions, interest on the
Series B Bonds is not included in gross income for Federal income tax purposes pursuant to Section 103 of the Code.
In addition, such interest will not be treated as a preference item in calculating alternative minimum taxable income
for purposes of the alternative minimum tax imposed by the Code with respect to individuals and corporations; such
interest, however, will be included in the adjusted net book income or adjusted current earnings of a corporation for
purposes of computing the alternative minimum tax imposed on corporations.
Under existing statutes, interest on the Series B Bonds is exempt from present State of California personal
income taxes.

disposition shall, when taken together with other such disposition, (i) aggregate ten percent
(10%) or more of the land area in the Project Area, (ii) aggregate 10% or more of the assessed
value of the Project Area, or (iii) cause the amount of Tax Revenues to be received in the

Consultant to report on the effect of said proposed disposition. If the Report of the Independent
Financial Consultant concludes that the security of the Loan or the rights of the Authority, the
Owners of Bonds and the Trustee hereunder will not be materially impaired by said proposed
disposition the Agency may thereafter make such disposition. If said Report concludes that such
security will be materially impaired by said proposed disposition, the Agency shall disapprove

expenses of defending against any claim of liability, but excluding any and all losses, expenses

considered an Event of Default; however, the Trustee shall at the written request of any
Participating Underwriter or the owners of at least 25% aggregate principal amount of
Outstanding Bonds, but only to the extent the Trustee has been indemnified to its satisfaction
from any cost, liability or expense including those it its attorneys or any owner, may take such

Indenture, the Authority has pledged all Federal Direct Payments in connection with the Series A
Bonds to the Trustee to be deposited into the Bond Service Fund to be used solely for the
purpose of paying the principal of, and interest on, the Bonds, including the redemption price
thereof. The Code imposes requirements that the Authority and the Agency must continue to
meet after the Bonds are issued in order to receive the Federal Direct Payments. The Authority
and the Agency covenant to use the proceeds of the Series A Bonds, to invest said proceeds as
provided in the Recovery Act and to make such filings as required in connection with the
Recovery Act in order to maintain the Authority's ability to receive Federal Direct Payments to
the extent available for payment to the Authority.

12
P.A,cndae\A,enda A .a hmmts\Exhibitd2010\12-06-IOR,rov,,Z.n NA CDCR,,.s-Loan Ageement(Exhibit C).d.,
the Trustee or otherwise, any action with respect to the proceeds of the Loan attributable to the
Series B Bonds, which if such action had been reasonably expected to have been taken, or had
been deliberately and intentionally taken, on the Closing Date would have caused any of the
Series B Bonds to be "arbitrage bonds within the meaning of Section 148(a) of the Tax Code or
to be"private activity bonds"within the meaning of Section 141 of the Tax Code.
The Agency agrees to furnish all information to, and cooperate fully with, the
Authority, the Trustee and their respective officers, employees, agents and attorneys, in order to
assure compliance with the provisions of Section 5.08 of the Indenture. In the event that the
Authority shall determine, pursuant to Section 5.08 of the Indenture, that any amounts are due
and payable to the United States of America thereunder, and that neither the Authority nor the
Trustee has on deposit an amount of available moneys (excluding moneys on deposit in the
Interest Account, the Principal Account, the Series B Reserve Fund or the Series A Reserve
Fund, and excluding any other moneys required to pay the principal of or interest or redemption
premium, if any, on the Outstanding Bonds) to make such payment, the Authority shall promptly
notify the Agency of such fact. Upon receipt of any such notice, the Agency shall promptly pay
to the Trustee from available Tax Revenues or any other source of legally available funds, for
deposit into the Rebate Account, the sum of (a) one hundred percent (100%) of the amounts
determined by the Authority to be due and payable to the United States of America as a result of
the investment of amounts on deposit in any fund or account established hereunder, plus (b) all
other amounts due and payable to the United States of America.

however, that if in the reasonable opinion of the Agency the failure stated in such notice can be

applicable law of the United States of America, or if, under the provisions of any other law for
the relief or aid of debtors any court of competent jurisdiction shall assume custody or control of
the Agency or of the whole or any substantial part of its property. This provision, however, is
subject to the condition that if, at any time after the principal of the Loan shall have been so
declared due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the moneys due
shall have been obtained or entered, the Agency shall deposit with the Trustee a sum sufficient to
pay all installments of principal on the Loan matured prior to such declaration and all accrued
interest thereon, with interest on such overdue installments of principal and interest at the net

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 Owners of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Outstanding Bonds may, by written notice to the Trustee and the Agency, rescind
and annul such declaration and its consequences. However, 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.
If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at the written direction of
the Owners of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds, the Trustee
shall, to the extent indemnified from liability or expense, including without limitation fees and
expenses of its attorneys, exercise any remedies available to the Trustee in law or at equity.
Section 5.02. Application of Funds Upon Default. After the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Trustee shall have the right to control and
direct all remedies and other actions relating to default hereunder. All amounts received by the

unpaid,
(b) to the payment of principal of all installments of the Loan then due and
unpaid,
(c) to the payment of interest on overdue installments of principal and
interest.
Neither failure by the Authority or the Agency to comply with the requirements of
the Tax Code, which must be satisfied for the Authority to receive the cash subsidy payments
applicable to the Bonds, nor in any event to receive any cash subsidy payments applicable to the
Bonds, constitutes a default by the Authority hereunder.
Section 5.03. No Waiver. Nothing in this Article V or in any other provision of
this Loan Agreement, shall affect or impair the obligation of the Agency, which is absolute and
unconditional, to pay from the Tax Revenues and other amounts pledged hereunder, the principal
of and interest and premium (if any) on the Loan to the Trustee as herein provided, or affect or
impair the right of action, which is also absolute and unconditional, of the Trustee to institute suit
to enforce such payment by virtue of the contract embodied in this Loan Agreement.
A waiver of any default by the Trustee shall not affect any subsequent default or
impair any rights or remedies on the subsequent default. No delay or omission of the Trustee to
exercise any right or power accruing upon any default shall impair any such right or power or
shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default or a acquiescence therein, and every power
and remedy conferred upon the Trustee by the Act or by this Article V may be enforced and
exercised from time to time and as often as shall be deemed expedient by the Trustee.
If a suit, action or proceeding to enforce any right or exercise any remedy shall be
abandoned or determined adversely to the Trustee, the Agency and the Trustee shall be restored
to their former positions, rights and remedies as if such suit, action or proceeding had not been
brought or taken (except in the event that an action determined adversely to the Trustee was for
removal thereof).
Section 5.04. Remedies Not Exclusive. No remedy herein conferred upon or
reserved to the Trustee is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy. Every such remedy shall
be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder now or hereafter
existing, at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and may be exercised without exhausting
and without regard to any other remedy conferred by the Act or any other law.

cancelled by it. If any Bond issued hereunder shall be lost, destroyed or stolen, evidence of such
loss, destruction or theft may be submitted to the Trustee and, if such evidence be satisfactory to it

shall execute, and the Trustee shall thereupon authenticate and deliver, a new Bond of like series
and tenor in lieu of and in substitution for the Bond so lost, destroyed or stolen (or if any such

may require payment of a reasonable fee for each new Bond issued under this Section and of the
expenses which may be incurred by the Authority and the Trustee. Any Bond issued under the
provisions of this Section in lieu of any Bond alleged to be lost, destroyed or stolen shall
constitute an original contractual obligation on the part of the Authority whether or not the Bond

Reserve Fund shall be funded initially at the Reserve Requirement.
19
P:\Agendas'Agenda Attedunenu\E hibks\2010\11-u610Rec uyZom PA_CDC Resos-Mdenwre of Tmst(Exhibit A).dm
(b) The Reserve Requirement may be fulfilled by a deposit of a credit
instrument in lieu of cash as hereinafter described:
(1) A surety bond or insurance policy issued to the Trustee by a
company licensed to issue an insurance policy guaranteeing the timely payment of the debt
service on the Bonds (a"municipal bond insurer") may be deposited in the Reserve Fund to meet
the Reserve Requirement if the claims paying ability of the issuer thereof shall be rated "AAA"or
"Aaa"by S&P and Moody's,respectively.
(2) A surety bond or insurance policy issued to the Trustee by an entity
other than a municipal bond insurer may be deposited in the Reserve Fund to meet the Reserve
Requirement.
(3) An unconditional irrevocable letter of credit issued to the Trustee
by a bank may be deposited in the Reserve Fund to meet the Reserve Requirement if the issuer
thereof is rated at least "AA" by S&P. The letter of credit shall be payable in one or more draws
upon presentation by the beneficiary of a sight draft accompanied by its certificate that it then
holds insufficient funds to make a required payment of principal or interest on the Bonds. The
draws shall be payable within two days of presentation of the sight draft. The letter of credit shall
be for a term of not less than three years. The issuer of the letter of credit shall be required to
notify the Authority and the Trustee,not later than 30 months prior to the stated expiration date of
the letter of credit, as to whether such expiration date shall be extended, and if so, shall indicate
the new expiration date.
If such notice indicates that the expiration date shall not be extended, the
Authority shall deposit in the Reserve Fund an amount sufficient to cause the cash or permitted
investments on deposit in the Reserve Fund,together with any other qualifying credit instruments,
to equal the Reserve Requirement, such deposit to be paid in equal installments on at least a semi-
annual basis over the remaining term of the letter of credit, unless the respective Reserve Fund
credit instrument is replaced by a Reserve Fund credit instrument meeting the requirements in any
of the items 1-3 above. The letter of credit shall permit a draw in full not less than two weeks
prior to the expiration or termination of such letter of credit if the letter of credit has not been
replaced or renewed. The authorizing document shall, in turn, direct the Trustee to draw upon the
letter of credit prior to its expiration or termination unless an acceptable replacement is in place or
the Reserve Fund is fully funded in its required amount.
(5) The obligation to reimburse the issuer of a Reserve Fund credit
instrument for any fees, expenses, claims or draws upon such Reserve Fund credit instrument
shall be subordinate to the payment of Debt Service on the Bonds. The right of the issuer of a
Reserve Fund credit instrument to payment or reimbursement of its fees and expenses shall be
subordinated to cash replenishment of the Reserve Fund, and, subject to the second succeeding
sentence, its right to reimbursement for claims or draws shall be on a parity with the cash
replenishment of the Reserve Fund. The Reserve Fund credit instrument shall provide for a
revolving feature under which the amount available thereunder will be reinstated to the extent of
any reimbursement of draws or claims paid. If the revolving feature is suspended or terminated
for any reason, the right of the issuer of the Reserve Fund credit instrument to reimbursement will
20
PAAgendas\AgmWa A=hmentslExhibits12010112-05 10 Recovery Zone JPA CDC Rem-mdenov ofTmst(Exhibit A).doc
be further subordinated to cash replenishment of the Reserve Fund to an amount equal to the
difference between the full original amount available under the Reserve Fund credit instrument
and the amount then available for further draws or claims. If(a) the issuer of a Reserve Fund
credit instrument becomes insolvent or(b)the issuer of a Reserve Fund credit instrument defaults
in its payment obligations thereunder or(c)the claims-paying ability of the issuer of the insurance
policy or surety bond falls below a S&P "AAA' or a Moody's "Aaa" or (d) the rating of the
issuer of the letter of credit falls below a S&P "AA", the obligation to reimburse the issuer of the
Reserve Fund credit instrument shall be subordinate to the cash replenishment of the Reserve
Fund.
(6) If(a) the revolving reinstatement feature described in the preceding
paragraph is suspended or terminated or(b)the rating of the claims paying ability of the issuer of
the surety bond or insurance policy falls below a S&P "AAA" or a Moody's "Aaa" or (c) the
rating of the issuer of the letter of credit falls below a S&P "AA", the Authority shall either (i)
deposit into the Reserve Fund an amount sufficient to cause the cash or permitted investments on
deposit in the Reserve Fund to equal the Reserve Requirement, such amount to be paid over the
ensuing five years in equal installments deposited at least semi-annually or (ii) replace such
instrument with a surety bond, insurance policy or letter of credit meeting the requirements in any
of items 1-3 above within six months of such occurrence. In the event(a) the rating of the claims-
paying ability of the issuer of the surety bond or insurance policy falls below"A", (b)the rating of
the issuer of the letter of credit falls below "A", (c) the issuer of the Reserve Fund credit
instrument defaults in its payment obligations or (d) the issuer of the Reserve Fund credit
instrument becomes insolvent, the Issuer shall either (i) deposit into the Reserve Fund an amount
sufficient to cause the cash or permitted investments on deposit in the Reserve Fund to be equal to
the Reserve Requirement, such amount to be paid over the ensuing year in equal installments on
at least a monthly basis (ii) replace such instrument with a surety bond, insurance policy or letter
of credit meeting the requirements in any of items 1-3 above within six months of such
occurrence.
(7) Where applicable, the amount available for draws or claims under
the Reserve Fund credit instrument may be reduced by the amount of cash or Permitted
Investments deposited in the Reserve Fund pursuant to clause (i)of the preceding item 6.
(8) If the Authority chooses the above described alternatives to a cash-
funded Reserve Fund, any amounts owed by the Authority to the issuer of such credit instrument
as a result of a draw thereon or a claim thereunder, as appropriate, shall be included in any
calculation of Debt Service requirements required to be made pursuant to this Indenture for any
purpose(e.g., a rate covenant or additional bonds test).
(9) The Trustee shall be required to ascertain the necessity for a claim
or draw upon the Reserve Fund credit instrument and to provide notice to the issuer of the
Reserve Fund credit instrument in accordance with its terms not later than three days(or permitted
time period for honoring a draw under the Reserve Fund credit instrument) prior to each Interest
Payment Date.

(10) Cash on deposit in the Reserve Fund shall be used (or investments
purchased with such cash shall be liquidated and the proceeds applied as required) prior to any
drawing on any Reserve Fund credit instrument. If and to the extent that more than one Reserve
Fund credit instrument is deposited in the Reserve Fund, drawings thereunder and repayments of
costs associated therewith shall be made on a pro rata basis, calculated by reference to the
maximum amounts available thereunder.
Section 3.06. Withdrawals from the Reserve Funds. The following shall apply to
each Reserve Fund.
In the event that the Agency fails to deposit with the Trustee the full amount required to be
deposited pursuant to Section 4.02(a) or (b) on or before the fifteenth (15a') day preceding any
Interest Payment Date, as applicable, the Trustee shall provide any notice required with respect to
the timely liquidation of securities invested in the Reserve Fund and one Business Day prior to the
next Interest Payment Date, the Trustee shall withdraw from the Reserve Funds on a prorate basis
and transfer to the Interest Account and the Principal Account, in such order, an amount equal to
the difference between the amount required to be deposited pursuant to Section 4.02(a) or(b) and
the amount actually deposited by the Agency. To the extent of any deficiencies in the payments
required under Section 4.02(a) and (b), the Trustee may withdraw from each Reserve Fund
prorata, as required, all amounts necessary to make the payments required under said sections.
In the event that the Authority notifies the Agency or if the Agency has actual
notice that the amount on deposit in the Reserve Fund is less than the Reserve Requirement due to
either a devaluation of the investments held in the Reserve Fund, or to the extent of any draws on
the Reserve Fund, the Agency shall deposit amounts required hereunder to restore said balance to
the Reserve Requirement as provided in Section 4.02 hereof.
In the event that the amount on deposit in the Reserve Fund on the fifteenth (15th)
day preceding any Interest Payment Date exceeds the Reserve Requirement, the Trustee shall
thereupon withdraw from the Reserve Fund all amounts in excess of the Reserve Requirement and
credit first to the payment of interest and then to principal coming due, if any, such amounts
towards the deposit then required to be made by the Agency pursuant to Section 4.02(a)or(b).
Withdrawals from the Reserve Fund may also be made by the Trustee in the event
and to the extent of a refunding of the Bonds.
The Trustee shall withdraw all amounts in the Reserve Fund on the Business Day
immediately preceding the final Interest Payment Date and shall transfer such amounts to the
Interest Account and the Principal Account to the extent required to make the deposits then
required to be made pursuant to this Indenture or, if the Agency shall have previously deposited in
those accounts amounts sufficient to make the deposits required under this Indenture, then to the
Agency to be used for any lawful purpose. In the event and to the extent the Agency from time to
time prepays a portion of the Loan pursuant to Section 2.02 of the Loan Agreement in order to
discharge Bonds in accordance with Section 10.03 of this Indenture, the Trustee may withdraw
amounts in the Reserve Fund relating to the Bonds to be discharged and transfer such amounts to
any reserve fund or funds established in connection with the discharge of such Bonds.

the Bonds shall not be affected in any way by any proceedings taken by the Agency with respect

shall punctually pay or cause to be paid the principal, interest and premium (if any)to become due
in respect of all the Bonds, in strict conformity with the terms of the Bonds and of this Indenture,
according to the true intent and meaning thereof, but only out of Revenues and other assets
pledged for such payment as provided in this Indenture.
Section 5.02. Against Encumbrances. The Authority shall not create, or permit
the creation of, any pledge, lien, charge or other encumbrance upon the Revenues and other assets
pledged or assigned under this Indenture while any of the Bonds are Outstanding, except the
pledge and assignment created by this Indenture. Subject to this limitation, the Authority
expressly reserves the right to enter into one or more other indentures for any of its corporate
purposes, including other programs under the Bond Law, and reserves the right to issue other
obligations for such purposes.
Section 5.03. Power to Issue Bonds and Make Pledge and Assianment. The
Authority is duly authorized pursuant to law to issue the Bonds and to enter into this Indenture
and to pledge and assign the Revenues, the Loan Agreement and other assets purported to be
pledged and assigned, respectively, under this Indenture in the manner and to the extent provided
in this Indenture. The Bonds and the provision of this Indenture are and will be the legal, valid
and binding special obligations of the Authority in accordance with their terms, and the Authority
and the Trustee shall at all times, subject to the provisions of this Indenture, and to the extent
permitted by law, defend, preserve and protect said pledge and assignment of Revenues and other
assets and all rights of the Bond Owners under this Indenture against all claims and demands of
all persons whomsoever.
Section 5.04. Accounting Records and Financial Statements. The Trustee shall at
all times keep, or cause to be kept, proper books of record and account, prepared in accordance
with industry standards, in which complete and accurate entries shall be made of all transactions

Section 5.06. Election to Designate Series A Bonds as Recovery Zone Economic
Development Bonds. The Authority and the Agency hereby make an irrevocable designation of
the Series A Bonds as "Recovery Zone Economic Development Bonds" pursuant to the
provisions of Section 1400U-2(b)(1)(B) of the Tax Code. The Authority expects to receive a
cash subsidy payment from the United States Department of Treasury pursuant to the Recovery
Act on or about each Interest Payment Date equal to 45% of the interest paid on the Series A
Bonds (the "Federal Direct Payments"). The cash payments to be made by the United States
under the Recovery Act do not constitute a full faith and credit obligation of the United States,
but are required to be paid by the Department of the Treasury under the current provisions of the
Recovery Act if the Authority complies, and continues to comply, with the applicable provisions
of the Tax Code. The cash subsidy payments if and when received by the Authority, or on behalf
of the Authority, shall be transferred to the Trustee or caused to be transferred to the Trustee for
the payment of debt service on the Bonds. The Authority hereby covenants to direct the United
States Department of Treasury to pay said subsidy directly to the Trustee. The Authority is
obligated to make all payments of principal of, and interest on, the Bonds whether or not it
receives cash subsidy payments pursuant to the Recovery Act and the Tax Code. Neither failure
by the Authority to comply with the requirements of the Tax Code, which must be satisfied for
the Authority to receive the cash subsidy payments applicable to the Bonds, nor in any event to
receive any cash subsidy payments applicable to the Bonds, constitutes a default by the
Authority hereunder.
The Authority hereby directs and authorizes any authorized Authority representative and
the Agency hereby directs and authorizes any Authorized Agency Representative to make any
other elections permitted or required pursuant to the provisions of the Tax Code or the Tax
Regulations, as such authorized representative (after consultation with Bond Counsel) deems
necessary or appropriate in connection with the Bonds and in connection with maintaining the
Authority's ability to receive Federal Direct Payments to the extent available for payment to the
Authority.
Section 5.07. Continuing_Disclosure. Pursuant to Section 4.12 of the Loan
Agreement, the Agency has undertaken all responsibility for compliance with continuing
disclosure requirements, and the Authority shall have no liability to the Owners of the Bonds or
any other person with respect to such disclosure matters. The Trustee hereby covenants and
agrees that it will comply with and carry out all of the provisions of the Continuing Disclosure
Agreement and Section 4.12 of the Loan Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Indenture, failure of the Agency or the Trustee to comply with the Continuing Disclosure
Agreement shall not be considered an Event of Default; however, the Trustee shall at the written
request of any Participating Underwriter or the Owners of at least 25% aggregate principal
amount of Outstanding Bonds, but only to the extent the Trustee has been indemnified to its
satisfaction from any cost, liability or expense including those of its attorneys, or any Owner may
take such actions as may be necessary and appropriate, including seeking mandate or specific
performance by court order, to cause the Agency to comply with its obligations under Section
4.12 of the Loan Agreement or to cause the Trustee to comply with its obligations under this
Section 5.07.
Section 5.08. Tax Covenants with respect to the Series B Bonds.

The parties hereby covenant to and for the benefit of the Owners of the Series B Bonds,
as follows:
(a) Arbitrage. The Authority will not directly or indirectly use or permit the
use of proceeds of the Series B Bonds, or any other funds of the Authority from whatever source
derived, to acquire any investment, and it will not take or permit to be taken any other action,
which would cause the Series B Bonds to be characterized as "arbitrage bonds" within the
meaning of Section 148 of the Code or which would otherwise cause the interest on the Series B
Bonds to be includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes. To this end, in the
event that at any time the Authority is of the opinion that, for purposes of this paragraph, it is
necessary to restrict or limit the yield on the investment of any monies held by the Trustee under
this Indenture,the Authority shall take such action as may be necessary.
(b) Rebate. Under the Loan Agreement, the Agency has agreed that within
forty-five (45) days after each arbitrage computation date (the "Computation Date") it will
(i)provide the Trustee with a calculation of the rebate amount for the Series B Bonds for the
period commencing on the date of issue of the Series B Bonds and ending on such Computation
Date, such rebate amount to be calculated in the manner required by Section 148 of the Code and
the Tax Regulations thereunder, and (ii)transfer to the Trustee for deposit in the Rebate Account
an amount equal to such rebate amount. If the Agency fails to provide such calculation or make
such payment to the Trustee, the Trustee shall notify the Authority and the Agency of such fact,
and the Trustee shall demand that: the Agency provide such calculation or make such payment
pursuant to Section 4.12 of the Loan Agreement, such that payments are made to the Rebate
Account from any funds lawfully available therefor.
At the Request of the Agency, within sixty(60) days after each Computation Date
(other than the final Computation Date), the Trustee, on behalf of the Authority, will pay to the
United States government an amount equal to 90% of the rebate amount calculated as of such
date, and within sixty (60) days after the final Computation Date, the Trustee, on behalf of the
Authority, will pay over to the United States government an amount equal to 100% of the rebate
amount calculated as of such date. Such payments shall be made in accordance with Section 148
of the Code and the Tax Regulations thereunder, but only from amounts on deposit in the Rebate
Account. The Issuer shall cooperate with the Trustee in the filing of any forms required by the
Code to be submitted with the rebate payments described in this Section 5.06(b).
For purposes of calculating the amount of any arbitrage rebate required to be paid
to the United States government under this Section 5.06(b), the Trustee shall furnish to the
Agency, or a qualified arbitrage rebate consultant engaged by the Agency, such investment
information as the Agency or arbitrage rebate consultant requests from time to time relating to
any funds held by the Trustee under this Indenture. The Trustee may rely upon and shall not be
responsible for any calculations provided by the Agency under this Section 5.06(b). The
Authority shall keep and retain for a period of six (6) years following the retirement of the Series
B Bonds records of the determinations made pursuant to this Section 5.06(b). Notwithstanding
any other provision in this Indenture, the obligation to pay rebatable arbitrage to the United
States of America and to comply with all other requirements of this Section shall survive the
defeasance or payment in full of the Series B Bonds.
28
PUgeMas\Agenda AnechhmemsTxbibks\2010\13-0410Re ,y ZoneRA_CDCResin-I .we dTmA(NMRA).doc
(c) Information Reporting. The Authority will timely file a federal
information return with respect to the Series B Bonds as required by section 149(e) of the Code.
(d) Federal Guarantee Prohibition. The Authority will take no action, nor
permit or suffer any action to be taken, if the result of the same would be to cause the Series B
Bonds to be"federally guaranteed"within the meaning of Section 149(b) of the Code.
(e) Further Actions. The Authority will take all actions within its power and
permitted by law which are or may be necessary to assure that interest on the Series B Bonds at
all times remains excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes, including
complying with the provisions of the Authority's Arbitrage and Tax Matters Certificate, the
covenants set forth herein and all requirements of the Code that must be satisfied subsequent to
the issuance of the Series B Bonds for interest on the Series B Bonds to be, or continue to be,
excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 5.08, the Authority may rely
conclusively on an opinion of Bond Counsel in complying, or in any deviation from complying,
with the provisions hereof.

co-trustee to exercise such powers, rights and remedies, and every covenant and obligation
necessary to the exercise thereof by such separate or co-trustee shall run to and be enforceable by
either of them.
Should any instrument in writing from the Authority be required by the separate
trustee or co-trustee so appointed by the Trustee for more fully and certainly vesting in and
confirming to it such properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations, any and all such
instruments in writing shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the
Authority. In case any separate trustee or co-trustee, or a successor to either, shall become
incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the estates, properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties
and obligations of such separate trustee or co-trustee so far as permitted by law, shall vest in and

Owners of the Bonds at the respective dates of maturity, as herein provided, out of the Revenues
and other moneys herein pledged for such payment.
A waiver of any default or breach of duty or contract by the Trustee or any Bond

or remedies on such subsequent default or breach. No delay or omission of the Trustee or any
Owner of any of the Bonds to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default shall impair
any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default or an

Allocation Bonds, Series 2010B (Northwest Redevelopment Project Area Infrastructure Projects) (the "Series B
Bonds," and collectively with the Series A Bonds, the "Bonds"). The Bonds are being issued pursuant to the
Constitution and laws of the State of California (the "State"), particularly the California Community
Redevelopment Law, Part 1, Division 24, (commencing with Section 33000 of the Health and Safety Code of the
State) (the "Redevelopment Law"), and the Marks-Roos Local Bond Pooling Act of 1985 constituting Article 4
(commencing with Section 6584), Chapter 5, Division 7, Title 1, of the Government Code of the State (the
"Marks-Roos Act") (collectively, the "Law") and a resolution duly adopted by the Authority on November 15,
2010 (the "Resolution"). The Series A Bonds also are being issued pursuant to Section 1400U-2(b)(1)(B) of the

west to "H" Street and from 2nd Street north to 5°i Street(the 'W" Street Project"). The proceeds of the Series B
Bonds will be applied to finance various infrastructure improvements within the Northwest Redevelopment
Project Area (the "Northwest Redevelopment Project Area Infrastructure Projects," and collectively with the 4°i
Street Project,the"Project"). See"THE PROJECT"herein.

"Loan") under a Loan Agreement dated as of December 1, 2010 (the "Loan Agreement'), by and between the
Authority, the Agency and the Trustee, pursuant to which the Agency has agreed to pay the Authority amounts
equal to all principal of and interest coming due on the Bonds. The obligation of the Agency under the Loan
Agreement will be payable solely from the Agency's Tax Revenues from the Northwest Redevelopment Project
Area (the "Project Area") and from Federal Direct Payments (as defined herein). See "SECURITY FOR THE
BONDS" herein. The lien of the Bonds shall be subordinate to the 2005A Bonds(as defined herein). The lien of
the Bonds shall be on parity with the 2002A Bonds and the 2005B Bonds(as herein defined).

P:V gc"des`Agcnda A"acl ats M1ilahs@01N2-06.10 Rmovcry Z ne PFA CDC-P liminary Official Statement(Ex 60 B)Aoc
The Agency is in the initial stages of a merger of its fourteen (14) redevelopment project areas into two
(2) redevelopment project areas, Merged Area A Project Area and Merged Area B Project Area. In the event the
mergers are completed, it is expected that the existing fourteen(14)redevelopment project areas will be within the
Merged Area A Project Area or the Merged Area B Project Area. After the completion of the Merged Area A
Project Area, the 4" Street Project will be within the Merged Area A Project Area, consisting of Central City
North, Southeast Industrial Park, Tri-City, South Valle, Meadowbrook/Central City, Central City South and
Central City Redevelopment Project Areas. The Northwest Redevelopment Project Area, which revenues
constitute the Tax Revenues (as herein defined), will be within the Merged Area B Project Area in the event that
the Merged Area B Project Area is completed.
The proposed mergers will result in increasing the total amount of tax increment revenue that can be
accumulated within each of the merged areas, combining the individual project areas' bonded indebtedness limits
and increasing the total amount of bonded indebtedness that can be accumulated for each of the merged areas, and
with respect to some of the project areas,extending the plan effectiveness by ten(10)years.
hi the event that the Merged Area B Project Area is adopted, with respect to the Series A Bonds, the
Indenture and Loan Agreement provide that upon meeting certain conditions, namely, (i) delivery to the Trustee
of a Fiscal Consultant's Report and certification by said Fiscal Consultant demonstrating that the pledged tax
increment revenues from the Merged Area A Project Area are at least equal to the pledged Tax Revenues from the
Northwest Project Area on the original Closing Date, (ii) delivery of an opinion of bond counsel stating that the
pledge is consistent with the provisions of the Trust Indenture and the Loan Agreement, and (iii) confirmation in
writing from S&P that the rating on the Series A Bonds will not be diminished or removed by reason of the
substitution, all references to "Project Area" and "Tax Revenues" with respect to the Series A Bonds shall
become "Merger A Tax Revenues" as defined in the Indenture. See "SECURITY FOR THE BONDS —Merger
of Project Areas" and "THE PROJECT AREA - Planned Merger of Project Area." The Indenture provides that
the Trustee shall disseminate a notice to the Bondholders stating that the substitution has been made.
The Law authorizes the financing of redevelopment projects through the use of tax increment revenues.
This method of financing provides that the taxable valuations of the property within the Project Area on the
property tax roll last equalized prior to the effective date of the ordinance which adopted the redevelopment plan
becomes the base year taxable valuation, and the increase in taxable valuation in subsequent years over the base
year taxable valuation becomes the increment upon which taxes are levied and allocated to the Agency. All taxes
collected thereafter upon the tax increment (the increase in taxable valuation above the base year taxable
valuation) are available to be pledged to the payment of the debt service on Agency obligations, including the
Loan Agreement,any pass-through agreements, and other obligations.
Neither the Agency nor the Authority have any power to levy and collect taxes, and any legislative
property tax de-emphasis or provision of additional sources of income to taxing agencies having the effect of
reducing the property tax rate must necessarily reduce the amount of Tax Revenues available to the Agency to
meet its obligations to the Authority under the Loan Agreement to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds.
The Agency will covenant for the benefit of the Bondholders to provide certain financial information and
operating data relating to the Agency and the Project Area by not later than six months after the end of the Fiscal
Year to which such information pertains, commencing with the 2009/10 Fiscal Year (the "Annual Report"), and
to provide notices of the occurrence of certain enumerated events, if material. The Annual Report will be filed
with the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (the "MSRB") and the notices of material events will be filed
with the MSRB. The specific nature of the information to be contained in the Annual Report or the notices of
material events is described in "APPENDIX F — FORM OF CONTINUING DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT"
attached hereto. These covenants will be made in order to assist the Underwriter in complying with Securities and
Exchange Commission Rule 15c2-12(b)(5).

THE PROJECT
4"'Street Proiect
The 40' Street Project is designated as the "4'h Street Corridor" in Downtown San Bernardino from "E"
Street west to "H" Street and from 2 Street north to 5`h Street. 4`h Street was formerly the major access route to
the Interstate-215 Freeway (1-215"). The California Department of Transportation ("Caltrans") currently has
underway I-215 widening and construction and reconfiguration of on- and off-ramps to the I-215. Due to the
closure of the off-ramps at this location, the Agency plan for this 3 block area is to limit 41h Street to 2 travel lanes
with pedestrian friendly walking areas and limited vehicular access. The Agency proposes to alter the width of
the streets to remove 2 travel lanes plus the current curb-side parking and install decorative paving stones and
other amenities that will denote this area as the "Theater District" The "Theater District" is anchored by the
historic 1,760 seat California Theatre constructed in 1928 and the Agency owned 20-plex theater facility.
The projects the Agency desires to fund within the 0 Street Project with the Series A Bonds include:

THE BONDS
The Bonds are initially available in book-entry form only. So long as Cede& Co. is the registered owner
of the Bonds as nominee of The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"), New York, New York, references herein to
the Bondholders or registered owners o(the Bonds shall mean Cede & Co. and shall not mean the beneficial
owners of the Bonds. In addition, so long as Cede & Co. is the registered owner of the Bonds,purchasers of the
Bonds will not receive certificates representing their interest in the Bonds purchased. Interest on and principal of
the Bonds will be payable by the Trustee to Cede & Co. by wire transfer in immediately available funds in
accordance with the terms of Letter of Representation, by and among the Trustee, the Authority and DTC (the
"Letter of Representation').
General
The Bonds are issuable only in fully registered form in denominations of$5,000 principal amount, or any
integral multiple thereof. The Bonds are dated the date of delivery thereof, bear interest at the rates and will
mature on the dates and in the principal amounts set forth on the inside cover page of this Official Statement.
Interest on the Bonds is computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Interest on
the Bonds is payable semiannually on April 1 and October 1 of each year (each an "Interest Payment Date"),
commencing April 1,2011.
Interest on, and principal of, the Bonds will be payable by the Trustee,to Cede&Co. by wire transfer in
immediately available funds in accordance with the terms of the Letter of Representation.
Book-Entry Only System
The Bonds will be held by DTC, as securities depository. The ownership of one fully registered Bond for
each maturity is registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee for DTC. DTC is a limited-purpose trust
company organized under the laws of the State of New York, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a
"clearing corporation" within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a"clearing agency"
registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. DTC
was created to hold securities of its participants (the "DTC Participants") and to facilitate the clearance and
settlement of securities transactions among DTC Participants in such securities through electronic book-entry
changes in accounts of the DTC Participants, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of securities
certificates. DTC Participants include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing
corporations, and certain other organizations, some of whom (and/or their representatives) own DTC. Access to
the DTC system is also available to others such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through
or maintain a custodial relationship with a DTC Participant, either directly or indirectly (the "indirect
Participants").
Ownership interests in the Bonds may be purchased by or through DTC Participants. Such DTC
Participants, and the persons for whom they acquire interests in the Bonds as nominees (the "Beneficial
Owners"), will not receive certificated Bonds, but each DTC Participant will receive a credit balance in the
records of DTC in the amount of such DTC Participant's interest in the Bonds, which will be confirmed in
accordance with DTC's standard procedures.
Beneficial Owners are expected to receive a written confirmation of their purchase providing details of
the Bonds acquired. Each Beneficial Owner may desire to make arrangements with such DTC Participant to
receive a credit balance in the records of such DTC Participant, and may desire to make arrangements with such
DTC Participant to have all notices of redemption or other communications to DTC, which may affect such
persons,be forwarded in writing by such DTC Participant and to have notification made of all interest payments.

NEITHER THE AUTHORITY NOR THE TRUSTEE WILL HAVE ANY RESPONSIBILITY OR
OBLIGATION TO THE DTC PARTICIPANTS OR THE BENEFICIAL OWNERS IN RESPECT OF THE
ACCURACY OF ANY RECORDS MAINTAINED BY DTC OR ANY DTC PARTICIPANT; THE PAYMENT
BY DTC OR ANY DTC PARTICIPANT OF ANY AMOUNT IN RESPECT OF THE PRINCIPAL OR
REDEMPTION PRICE OF OR INTEREST ON THE BONDS; ANY NOTICE WHICH IS PERMITTED OR
REQUIRED TO BE GIVEN TO BONDHOLDERS UNDER THE INDENTURE; THE SELECTION BY DTC
OR ANY DTC PARTICIPANT OF ANY PERSON TO RECEIVE PAYMENT IN THE EVENT OF A
PARTIAL REDEMPTION OF THE BONDS; OR ANY CONSENT GIVEN OR OTHER ACTION TAKEN BY
DTC AS BONDHOLDER.
So long as Cede & Co. is the registered owner of the Bonds, as nominee of DTC, reference herein to the
Bondholders or registered owners of the Bonds shall mean Cede & Co., as aforesaid, and shall not mean the
Beneficial Owners of the Bonds.
The ownership interest of each Beneficial Owner in the Bonds will be recorded on the records of the DTC
Participants,whose ownership interests will be recorded on a computerized book-entry system operated by DTC.
Principal and interest payments on the Bonds will be made to DTC or its nominee, Cede & Co., as
registered owner of the Bonds. Upon receipt of monies, DTC's current practice is to immediately credit the
accounts of the DTC Participants in accordance with their respective holdings shown on the records of DTC.
Payments by DTC Participants and indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing
instructions and customary practices, as is now the case with municipal securities held for the accounts of
customers in bearer form of DTC, the Trustee, or the Authority, subject to any statutory and regulatory
requirements as may be in effect from time to time.
When notices are given to the Bondholders, they will be sent by the Trustee to DTC only (except as
otherwise specifically provided in the Indenture). Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to
DTC Participants, by DTC Participants to indirect Participants, and by DTC Participants and indirect Participants
to Beneficial Owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory and regulatory
requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Neither the Trustee nor the Authority is responsible for
sending notices to Beneficial Owners.
Transfers of ownership interests in the Bonds will be accomplished by book entries made by DTC and by
the DTC Participants who act on behalf of the Beneficial Owners. Interest and principal will be paid by the
Trustee to DTC, then paid by DTC to the DTC Participants, and thereafter paid by the DTC Participants to the
Beneficial Owners when due.
For every transfer and exchange of the Bonds, the Trustee may charge DTC, and DTC may charge the
DTC Participants and the DTC Participants may charge the Beneficial Owners, a sum sufficient to cover any tax,
fee or other government charge that may be imposed in relation thereto.
Because DTC can only act on behalf of Participants, indirect Participants and certain banks, the ability of
a Beneficial Owner to pledge such Beneficial Owner's Bonds to persons or entities that do not participate in the
DTC system, or otherwise take actions in respect of such Bonds,may be limited due to the lack of a certificate for
such Bonds.
DTC has advised the Authority that it will take any action permitted to be taken by a Bondholder under
the Indenture only at the direction of one or more Participants to whose account with DTC the Bonds are credited.
Additionally, DTC has advised that it will take such actions with respect to a principal amount of Bonds only at
the direction of and on behalf of Participants whose holdings include that principal amount of the Bonds. DTC
6
P:Agendas,AgcMa AMchm ts'lAibitsM101,I2-O-10 PxovMZone IPFACIX-Prclimi,uryO ciel Stet�(Exhibh B).doc
may take conflicting actions with respect to other principal amounts of Bonds to the extent that such actions are
taken on behalf of Participants whose holdings include those principal amounts of the Bonds.
DTC may determine to discontinue providing its services with respect to the Bonds at any time by giving
notice to the Authority and the Trustee and discharging its responsibilities with respect thereto under applicable
law. Under such circumstances(if there is not a successor securities depository) Bond certificates are required to
be delivered as described in the Indenture.
The Authority may determine that continuation of the system of book-entry transfers through DTC (or a
successor securities depository) is not in the best interest of the Beneficial Owners. In such event, Bond
certificates will be required to be delivered.
The information in this section concerning DTC and DTC's book-entry system has been obtained from
sources that the Authority believes to be reliable, but the Authority takes no responsibility for the accuracy
thereof.

60 days prior to any redemption date to the respective Owners of the Bonds designated for redemption at their
addresses appearing on the Registration Books and to certain information services and securities depositories.
Neither failure to receive any such notice so mailed nor any defect therein shall affect the validity of the
proceedings for redemption of such Bonds or the cessation of the accrual interest thereon.
SECURITY FOR THE BONDS
Revenues and Loan Agreement
The Bonds are special obligations of the Authority payable solely from and secured by Revenues which
are defined in the Indenture to include(i) all amounts payable by the Agency pursuant to the Loan Agreement; (ii)
any proceeds of the Bonds originally deposited with the Trustee and all moneys deposited and held from time to
time in the funds and accounts established under the Indenture, (iii) income and gains with respect to the
investment of amounts on deposit in the funds and accounts established under the Indenture, and (iv) Federal
Direct Payments (as defined herein) received from the United States Department of Treasury with respect to the
Series A Bonds. The Loan is secured by a pledge of and lien on the Tax Revenues, as more fully described under
"SECURITY FOR THE BONDS — Tax Revenues" and the Federal Direct Payments as more fully described
under "SECURITY FOR THE BONDS - Federal Subsidy Payments on Recovery Zone Economic Development
Bonds." The Loan is subordinate to the loan made by the Authority in connection with the 2005A Bonds and the
Loan is on parity with the loan made by the Authority in connection with the 2002A Bonds and 2005B Bonds.
The Agency may, pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement and the Indenture, issue additional obligations
secured by Tax Revenues on a parity with the Loan and the Parity Loans. See"SECURITY FOR THE BONDS—
Issuance of Additional Debt."
The Agency is in the initial stages of a merger of its fourteen(14)project areas into two project areas. in
the event the mergers are completed, it is expected that the existing project areas will be within a Merged Area A
Project Area or Merged Area B Project Area. After the completion of the mergers, the Project will be within the
Merged Area A Project Area, consisting of Central City North, Southeast Industrial Park, Tri-City, South Valle,
Meadowbrook/Central City, Central City South and Central City Redevelopment Project Areas. The Northwest

Redevelopment Project Area, which revenues constitute the Tax Revenues (as herein defined), will be within the
Merged Area B Project Area in the event that the merger is completed.
The proposed mergers will result in increasing the total amount of tax increment revenue that can be
accumulated within each of the merged areas, combining the individual project areas' bonded indebtedness limits
and increasing the total amount of bonded indebtedness that can be accumulated for each of the merged areas, and
with respect to some of the project areas,extending the plan effectiveness by ten(10)years.
In the event that the Merged Area B Project Area is adopted, with respect to the Series A Bonds, the
Indenture and Loan Agreement provide that upon meeting certain conditions, namely, (i) delivery to the Trustee
of a Fiscal Consultant's Report and certification by said Fiscal Consultant demonstrating that the pledged tax
increment revenues from the Merged Area A Project Area are at least equal to the pledged Tax Revenues from the
Northwest Project Area on the original Closing Date, (ii) delivery of an opinion of bond counsel stating that the
pledge is consistent with the provisions of the Trust Indenture and the Loan Agreement, and(iii) confirmation in
writing from S&P that the rating on the Series A Bonds will not be diminished or removed by reason of the
substitution, all references to "Project Area" and "Tax Revenues" with respect to the Series A Bonds shall
become."Merger A Tax Revenues"as defined in the Indenture. See"SECURITY FOR THE BONDS-Merger of
Project Areas"and"THE PROJECT AREA—Planned Merger of Project Areas." The Indenture provides that the
Trustee shall disseminate a notice to the Bondholders stating that the substitution has been made.
In the event that the Agency can meet the test under the Indenture and Loan Agreement for the
substitution of Tax Revenues with the Merged Area A Tax Revenues, the Bonds would then be secured by said
Merged Area A Tax Revenues.
If the proposed transfer of the security for the Series A Bonds to the Merged Area A Tax Revenues cannot be
accomplished, and the Merged Area B Project Area is completed, the Northwest Project Area Tax Revenues will
become a part of the Merged Area B Project Area Tax Revenues and the Bonds will be paid from said Merged
Area B Project Area Tax Revenues.
Tax Allocation Financing
The Redevelopment Law provides a means for financing redevelopment projects based upon an allocation
of taxes collected within a project area. The taxable valuation of a project area last equalized prior to adoption of
the redevelopment plan, or base roll, is established. Thereafter, except for any period during which the taxable
valuation drops below the base roll, the state and local governments for the benefit of which taxes are levied and
collected on property within the project area receive the taxes produced by the levy of the then current tax rate
upon the base roll. Taxes collected upon any increase in taxable valuation over the base roll are allocated to a
redevelopment agency and may be pledged by a redevelopment agency to the repayment of any indebtedness
incurred in financing or refinancing of a redevelopment project. Redevelopment agencies themselves have no
authority to levy property taxes and must look specifically to the allocation of taxes produced as above indicated.
Further, the Redevelopment Law requires that certain amounts of tax increment be used by a redevelopment
agency for low and moderate income housing projects, and places certain limits on the tax increment which a
redevelopment agency is authorized to receive.
Allocation of Taxes
As provided in the Redevelopment Plan,and pursuant to Article 6 of chapter 6 of the Redevelopment Law
and Section 16 of Article XVI of the Constitution of the State of California, taxes levied upon taxable property in
the Project Area each year by or for the benefit of the State of California and any city, county, city and county,
district or other public corporation (herein collectively referred to as"taxing agencies") for fiscal years beginning
after the effective date of the Project Area are divided as follows:
9
P:\AgendaaWSrn.Attaclunmd alExlnbia,�2010U2-06-10 Paove Zone JPFACDC-Preliminary Official dale t(Exhihh B).doc
(1) To Taxing Agencies: That portion of the taxes which would be produced by the rate upon which
the tax is levied each year by or for each of said taxing agencies upon the total sum of the
assessed value of the taxable property in the Project Area as shown upon the assessment roll used
in connection with the taxation of such property by such taxing agency last equalized prior to the
effective date of the ordinance approving the Redevelopment Plan shall be allocated to,and when
collected shall be paid into the funds of the respective taxing agencies as taxes by or for said
taxing agencies on all other property are paid; and
(2) To the Agency: Except for taxes which are attributable to a tax rate levy by a taxing agency for
the purpose of producing revenues to repay bonded indebtedness approved by the voters of the
taxing agency on or after January 1, 1989,which shall be allocated to and when collected shall be
paid to such taxing agency, that portion of said levied taxes each year in excess of the amounts
provided for in (1) above, shall be allocated to, and when collected, shall be paid into a special
fund of the Agency to pay the principal of and interest on bonds, loans, moneys advanced to or
indebtedness (whether funded, refunded, assumed, or otherwise) incurred by the Agency to
finance or refinance, in whole or in part the Project Area. Unless and until the total assessed
valuation of the taxable property in the Project Area exceeds the total assessed value of the
taxable property in the Project Area as shown by the last equalized assessment roll referred to in
paragraph (1) above, all of the taxes levied and collected upon the taxable property in the Project
Area shall be paid into the funds of the respective taxing agencies. When said bonds, loans,
advances, and indebtedness, if any, and interest thereon, have been paid, all moneys thereafter
received from taxes upon the taxable property in the Project Area, shall be paid into the funds of
the respective taxing agencies as taxes on all other property are paid.
The Agency is authorized to make pledges of the portion of taxes mentioned in paragraph (2) above to
repay specific advances, loans and indebtedness as appropriate in carrying out the Redevelopment Plan.
Tax Revenues
The"Tax Revenues"which are pledged to the payment of the Loan are defined in the Loan Agreement as
that portion of the taxes levied upon taxable property in the Project Area, allocated and paid into special funds of
the Agency(the"Special Fund"), pursuant to Article 6 of Chapter 6 of the Redevelopment Law and Section 16 of
Article XVI of the Constitution of the State, exclusive of (i) amounts placed into the Low and Moderate Income
Housing Fund of the Agency, pursuant to Sections 33334.2 and 33334.3 of the Redevelopment Law, and (ii)
amounts payable to affected taxing agencies pursuant to any Pass-Through Agreement. See "THE PROJECT
AREAS"herein for a description of the Pass-Through Agreement.
All Tax Revenues received by the Agency are required to be deposited in the Special Fund until such time
as the amounts on deposit in the Special Fund equal the aggregate amounts required to be transferred to the
Trustee pursuant to the Loan Agreement and any Parity Debt Instrument.
The Agency has no power to levy and collect property taxes, and any property tax limitation, Legislative
measure, voter initiative or provisions of additional sources of income to taxing agencies having the effect of
reducing the property tax rate, could reduce the amount of Tax Revenues that would otherwise be available to pay
the Loan and, consequently, the principal of, and interest on, the Bonds. Likewise, broadened property tax
exemptions could have a similar effect. See"RISK FACTORS"herein.
THE BONDS ARE NOT A DEBT OF THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO, THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA, OR ANY OF ITS POLITICAL SUBDIVISIONS, AND NEITHER THE CITY OF SAN
BERNARDINO NOR THE STATE OR ANY OF ITS POLITICAL SUBDIVISIONS (OTHER THAN THE
10

AUTHORITY) IS LIABLE THEREON. NEITHER THE AUTHORITY NOR THE AGENCY HAS ANY
TAXING POWER. THE BONDS ARE REVENUE BONDS, PAYABLE EXCLUSIVELY FROM THE
REVENUES AND OTHER FUNDS AS PROVIDED IN THE INDENTURE INCLUDING PAYMENTS TO BE
MADE BY THE AGENCY UNDER THE LOAN AGREEMENTS. THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE AGENCY
UNDER THE LOAN AGREEMENTS AND ANY PARITY DEBT OF THE AGENCY ARE PAYABLE
SOLELY FROM TAX REVENUES ALLOCATED TO THE AGENCY FROM THE PROJECT AREAS. THE
BONDS DO NOT CONSTITUTE AN INDEBTEDNESS WITHIN THE MEANING OF ANY
CONSTITUTIONAL OR STATUTORY DEBT LIMIT OR RESTRICTION.
Prior Liens
As more fully described below, the Agency has entered into pass-through agreements with respect to the
Project Area. The pledge of Tax Revenues under such pass-through agreements is prior and superior to the lien of
the Bonds. See"THE PROJECT AREA"below.
Housing Set-Aside. Tax Revenues do not include that portion of tax increment revenues payable to the
Agency which are to be deposited into the Agency's Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund pursuant to
Sections 33334.2 and 33334.3 of the Redevelopment Law.
Issuance of Additional Debt
The Authority has covenanted in the Indenture that except for the Bonds, it will not incur any other
indebtedness payable out of Revenues.
The Agency has covenanted in the Loan Agreement that it will not incur any indebtedness which is
payable from all or any part of the Tax Revenues, other than: (i)the loan(s) securing the Prior Debt; (ii)additional
Parity Debt, subject to the conditions described in the Loan Agreement, and(iii)any debt secured by a pledge of
Tax Revenues which is subordinate to the pledge of Tax Revenues created by the Loan Agreement. For a
description of circumstances in which the Agency may issue additional debt on a parity with the Loan, see
"Appendix D- SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL LEGAL DOCUMENTS—Loan Agreement."
Existing Parity Debt
As hereinbefore described, the Bonds shall have an equal lien on the Tax Revenues securing the loan
payments on the Series 2002A Bonds and the 2005B Bonds currently outstanding.
Reserve Funds
Reserve Funds. There is established a separate funds to be known as the"Series A Bonds Reserve Fund"
and "Series B Bonds Reserve Fund," which shall be maintained at the respective Reserve Requirements for said
Bonds at all times prior to payment of the Loan in full pursuant to the Loan Agreement except to the extent
required for the purposes set forth in the Indenture.
Withdrawals from the Reserve Funds. In the event that the Agency shall fail to deposit with the Trustee
the full amount required to be deposited pursuant to the Indenture on or before the fifteenth (15) Business Day
preceding any Redemption Date or Interest Payment Date, as applicable, the Trustee shall provide any notice
required with respect to the timely liquidation of securities invested in the Reserve Funds and one Business Day
prior to the next Interest Payment Date or Redemption Date, the Trustee shall withdraw from the Reserve Funds
pro rata and transfer to the Interest Account and the Principal Account, in such order, an amount equal to the
difference between the amount required to be deposited pursuant to the Indenture and the amount actually
deposited by the Agency. In the event that the Authority notifies the Agency or if the Agency has actual notice
11
P:Agevdn A,rnE Attachmeels'Fxhfti 010\17.06-10 Recovery Zo.JPFA CIX-PrcIm.ry M6.1 Swt .l(Fxh1n B)A.c
that the amount on deposit in one of the Reserve Funds is less than the respective Reserve Requirement due to
either a devaluation of the investments held in said Reserve Fund, or to the extent of any draws on the respective
Reserve Fund, is to deposit amounts required under the Indenture to restore said balance to the respective Reserve
Requirement.
In the event that the amount on deposit in any of the Reserve Funds on the fifteenth (15`) day preceding
any Interest Payment Date exceeds the Reserve Requirement, the Trustee is to thereupon withdraw from said
Reserve Fund all amounts in excess of the respective Reserve Requirement and credit first to the payment of
interest and then to principal coming due, if any, such amounts towards the deposit then required to be made by
the Agency pursuant to the Indenture.
For the purpose of maintaining the Reserve Funds and the Reserve Requirements, the Agency shall be
required to replenish the Reserve Funds to the extent of draws on the Reserve Funds as a result of deficiencies in
the payment of Tax Revenues.
Federal Subsidy Payments on Recovery Zone Economic Development Bonds
The Authority intends to elect to designate the Series A Bonds as "Recovery Zone Economic
Development Bonds" for purposes of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 signed into law on
February 17, 2009 (the "Recovery Act') and to receive a cash subsidy payment from the United States
Department of Treasury equal to 45% of the interest payable on the Series A Bonds on or about each interest
payment date for the Series A Bonds(each such cash subsidy payment, a"Federal Direct Payment').
Pursuant to the Indenture, the Authority has pledged all Federal Direct Payments in connection with the
Series A Bonds to the Trustee to be deposited into the Revenue Fund to be used solely for the purpose of paying
the principal of, and interest on, the Bonds, including the redemption price thereof. The Code imposes
requirements that the Authority must continue to meet after the Bonds are issued in order to receive the Federal
Direct Payments. These requirements generally involve the way that Recovery Zone Economic Development
Bond proceeds must be invested and ultimately used, and the periodic submission of requests for payment. if the
Authority does not meet these requirements, it is possible that the Authority may not receive the Federal Direct
Payments. The Internal Revenue Service (`IRS") has implemented an examination program for Recovery Zone
Economic Development Bonds, and no assurance can be given that the Series A Bonds will not be selected for a
more detailed or comprehensive examination. In the event the IRS files a proposed adverse determination letter
as a result of such an examination, announced IRS policy is to suspend payment to the Authority of the Federal
Direct Payments pending a final determination of the qualification of the Series A Bonds as may be applicable.
Furthermore, in certain circumstances, the Federal Direct Payments may be reduced (offset) by amounts
determined to be applicable under the Code and regulations promulgated thereunder. For example, offsets may
occur by reason of any past-due legally enforceable debt of the Authority to any Federal agency. The amount of
any such offsets is not predictable, but the Authority does not currently expect that any such offsets will apply to
the credits the Authority expects to receive.
Merger of Project Areas
The Agency is in the initial stages of a merger of its fourteen(14)project areas into two (2)project areas.
It is expected that Merged Area A Project Area will include Central City North, Southeast Industrial Park, Tri-
City, South Valle, Meadowbrook/Central City, Central City South and Central City Redevelopment Project Areas.
It is further expected that the merger would result in:
(1) Merger of the individual project areas and the development of a single merged, amended
and restated redevelopment plan for the project areas that will comprise Merged Area A ("2010 Merged
Area A Plan");
12
Pi Agendas\Agcy&Anuhmen%Txbibks\2010\12-%-10 Recovery Zone)PFA_CIXL Pmlimic ry Official Stnvnenl(Exhibit B).doc
(2) A combined individual project area tax increment revenue limit and increased total
amount of tax increment revenues that can be accumulated for Merged Area A;
(3) A combined individual project area bonded indebtedness limit and increased total
amount of bonded indebtedness that can be accumulated for Merged Area A;
(4) Added public improvement projects list to the 2010 Merged Area A Plan; and
(5) An extended plan effectiveness for both Central City North and Meadowbrook/Central
City Redevelopment Project Areas by ten(10)years each.
In the event that the merger of the State College, Central City West, Northwest, Uptown, Mt. Vernon
Corridor, and 40ih Street Redevelopment Project Areas is completed, those project areas will become Merged
Area B Project Area.. It is expected that the merger would result in:
(1) Merger of the individual project areas and the development of a single merged, amended
and restated redevelopment plan for the project areas that will comprise Merged Area B ("2011 Merged
Area B Plan");
(2) A combined individual project area tax increment revenue limit and increased total
amount of tax increment revenues that can be accumulated for Merged Area B;
(3) A combined individual project area bonded indebtedness limit and increased total
amount of bonded indebtedness that can be accumulated for Merged Area B;
(4) Added public improvement projects list to the 2011 Merged Area B Plan;
(5) An extended plan effectiveness of the State College Redevelopment Project Area by ten
(10)years; and
(6) Added new territory to the Merged Area B.
The Loan Agreement provides that the Agency may substitute Tax Revenues (which are derived from the
tax increment revenues of the Northwest Project Area as herein defined) with Merged Area A Tax Revenues upon
meeting each of the below conditions:
(1) The Agency and the Authority shall have approved by resolution the substitution of the
Tax Revenues for the Series A Bonds with the Merged Area A Tax Revenues and said approval has not
been repealed, amended or modified since its adoption and is in full force and effect on the Substitution
Date;
(2) A Fiscal Consultant's Report (the "FCR") for the Merged Area A Project Area shall be
delivered to the Trustee demonstrating that there is an amount of surplus tax increment revenue from the
Merged Area A at least equal to the tax increment revenue that was pledged from the Northwest Project
Area for the Series A Bonds on the Closing Date;
(3) A certification from a Fiscal Consultant stating that the surplus tax increment revenues
from the Merged Area A Project Area are at least equal to the surplus tax increment from the Northwest
Project Area;
13
P:Wgeedu\Agenda Atmchmemst htbga\2010\I2-06-10 Recovery Zone JPFA CDC-Pmlimion y Official Statement(EAibh B).dm
(4) Delivery of an opinion of Bond Counsel that such substitution of tax increment revenues
is consistent with the provisions of the Indenture and the Loan Agreement and that all other required
conditions under the Loan Agreement, including any disclosures to the Bondholders have been made; and
that such substitution is a valid and enforceable obligation of the Agency pursuant to the terms of the
Indenture and the Loan Agreement;
(5) Written verification from the Rating Agency that the rating on the Series A Bonds will
not be diminished or withdrawn by reason of the substitution of tax increment revenues; and
(6) The Agency shall delivery notice to the Trustee that pursuant to the terms of the
Indenture and Loan Agreement, all conditions precedent to the substitution of pledged tax increment
revenues have occurred, together with (i) the FCR for the Merged Area A, (ii) the certification from the
financial consultant, written verification of the continuation of rating by the Rating Agency and (iii) the
supplemental opinion of Bond Counsel,and therein setting forth the Substitution Date.
The Trustee shall disseminate a notice to the bondholders and to the Rating Agency stating that pursuant
to the Indenture and the Loan Agreement, there has been a substitution of pledged tax increment revenues as
authorized by the Indenture and the Loan Agreement.
RISK FACTORS
The following information should be considered by prospective investors in evaluating the Bonds.
However, the following does not purport to be an exhaustive listing of risks and other considerations which may
be relevant to investing in the Bonds. In addition,the order in which the following information is presented is not
intended to reflect the relative importance of any such risks.
To estimate the revenues expected to be available to pay debt service on the Loan and, thus, the Bonds,
the Agency has made certain assumptions with regard to the assessed valuation in the Project Area, future tax
rates and percentage of taxes collected. The Agency believes these assumptions to be reasonable, but to the extent
that the assessed valuation, the tax rates or the percentage of taxes collected are less than the Agency's
assumptions, the Tax Revenues available to pay debt service on the Loan securing the Bonds will, in all
likelihood,be less than those projected.
Reduction in Taxable Value
Tax Revenues allocated to the Agency are determined by the amount of incremental taxable value in the
Project Area and the current rate or rates at which property in the Project Area is taxed. The reduction of taxable
values of property caused by economic factors beyond the Agency's control, such as a relocation out of one or
more of the Project Area by one or more major property owners, or the transfer, pursuant to California Revenue
and Taxation Code Section 68, of a lower assessed valuation to property within the Project Area by a person
displaced by eminent domain or similar proceedings, or the discovery of hazardous substances on a property
within the Project Area (see "Hazardous Substances," below) or the complete or partial destruction of such
property caused by, among other eventualities, an earthquake, flood or other natural disaster, could cause a
reduction in the Tax Revenues securing the Loan securing the Bonds. Property owners may also appeal to the
County Assessor for a reduction of their assessed valuations or the County Assessor could order a blanket
reduction in assessed valuations based on then current economic conditions. Such a reduction of assessed
valuations and the resulting decline in Tax Revenues or the resulting property tax refunds could have an adverse
effect on the Agency's ability to make timely payments of principal of and interest on the Loan securing the
Bonds. See"Appeals of Assessed Values"below.
14
P:VAgendas�geada Anachments'Exhibits4019.12-0&10 Racov Zone JPFA_CDC-Pmlimifimry Official Statement(Exhibit 8).doc
Appeals of Assessed Values
Pursuant to California law,property owners may apply for a reduction of their property tax assessment by
filing a written application, in form prescribed by the State Board of Equalization, with the appropriate county
board of equalization or assessment appeals board.
After the applicant and the assessor have presented their arguments, the Appeals Board makes a final
decision on the proper assessed value. The Appeals Board may rule in the assessor's favor, in the applicant's
favor, or the Board may set their own opinion of the proper assessed value, which may be more or less than either
the assessor's opinion or the applicant's opinion.
Any reduction in the assessment ultimately granted applies to the year for which the application is made
and may also affect the values in subsequent years. Refunds for taxpayer overpayment of property taxes may
include refunds for overpayment of taxes in years after that which was appealed. Current year values may also be
adjusted as a result of a successful appeal of prior year values. Any taxpayer payment of property taxes that is
based on a value that is subsequently adjusted downward will require a refund for overpayment.
Appeals for reduction in the "base year" value of an assessment, if successful, reduce the assessment for
the year in which the appeal is taken and prospectively thereafter. The base year is determined by the completion
date of new construction or the date of change of ownership. Any base year appeal must be made within four
years of the change of ownership or new construction date.
Appeals may also be filed under Section 51 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, which requires that for
each lien date the value of real property shall be the lesser of its base year value annually adjusted by the inflation
factor pursuant to Article XIIIA of the State Constitution or its full cash value, taking into account reductions in
value due to damage, destruction, depreciation, obsolescence, removal of property or other factors causing a
decline in value. Significant reductions have taken place in some counties due to declining real estate values.
Reductions made under this code section may be initiated by the County Assessor or requested by the property
owner. After a roll reduction is granted under this section, the property is reviewed on an annual basis to
determine its full cash value and the valuation is adjusted accordingly. This may result in further reductions or in
value increases. Such increases must be in accordance with the full cash value of the property and it may exceed
the maximum annual inflationary growth rate allowed on other properties under Article XIIIA of the State
Constitution. Once the property has regained its prior value, adjusted for inflation, it once again is subject to the
annual inflationary factor growth rate allowed under Article XIIIA.
Reduction in Inflationary Rate
As described in greater detail below, Article XIIIA of the California Constitution provides that the full
cash value base of real property used in determining taxable value may be adjusted annually to reflect the
inflationary rate, not to exceed a 2% annual increase, or may be reduced to reflect a reduction in the consumer
price index or comparable local data. Such measure is computed on a calendar year basis. Because Article XIIIA
limits inflationary assessed value adjustments to the lesser of the actual inflationary rate or 2%, there have been
years in which the assessed values were adjusted by actual inflationary rates, which were less than 2%,but greater
than 0%. Since 1978, the annual adjustment for inflation has fallen below the 2% limitation five times from
1983/84, 1995/06, 1996/07, 1999/00 and 2004/05. The Authority and the Agency are unable to predict the
adjustments, if any,to the full cash value base of real property within the Project Area.
Levy and Collection
Neither the Authority nor the Agency has any independent power to levy and collect property taxes. Any
reduction in the tax rate or the implementation of any constitutional or legislative property tax decrease could
15
P:Wgaadms AEen Anachm ,sExhiMsaOl O\12-06-10 Recovery Z u JPFA_CIX-ftlimki ORCial Silt.(Ex ft B).doc
reduce the Tax Revenues, and accordingly, could have an adverse impact on the ability of the Authority to repay
the Bonds. Likewise, delinquencies in the payment of property taxes could have an adverse effect on the
Agency's ability to make timely debt service payments on the Loan securing the Bonds.
Bankruptcy Risks
The enforceability of the rights and remedies of the owners of the Bonds and the obligations of the
Authority and the Agency may become subject to the following: the federal bankruptcy code and applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of
creditors' rights generally, now or hereafter in effect; usual equitable principles which may limit the specific
enforcement under state law of certain remedies: the exercise by the United States of America of the powers
delegated to it by the federal Constitution; and the reasonable and necessary exercise, in certain exceptional
situations of the police power inherent in the sovereignty of the State of California and its governmental bodies in
the interest of servicing a significant and legitimate public purpose. Bankruptcy proceedings, or the exercise of
powers by the federal or state government,if initiated,could subject the owners of the Bonds to judicial discretion
and interpretation of their rights in bankruptcy or otherwise and consequently may entail risks of delay, limitation,
or modification of their rights.
SB 211
In 2001, the California Legislature enacted SB 211, Chapter 741, Statutes 2001, which became effective
January 1, 2002 ("SB 211"). SB 211 provides, among other things that, at any time after January 1, 2002, the
limitation on incurring indebtedness contained in a redevelopment plan adopted prior to January 1, 1994, may be
deleted by ordinance of the legislative body. However, such deletion triggers statutory tax sharing with those
taxing entities that do not have tax sharing agreements. Tax sharing will be calculated based on the increase in
assessed valuation after the year in which the limitation would otherwise have become effective.
SB 211 also authorizes the amendment of a redevelopment plan adopted prior to January 1, 1994, to
extend for not more than 10 years, the effectiveness of the redevelopment plan, the time to receive tax increment
revenues and to pay indebtedness. Any such extension must meet certain specified requirements, including the
requirement that the public body establish the existence of both physical and economic blight within a specified
geographical area of the redevelopment project and that any additional tax increment revenues received by the
Redevelopment Commission because of the extension be used solely within the designated blighted area.
Education Revenue Augmentation Fund(ERAF)
ERAF and State Budgets and Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund legislation has required
redevelopment agencies, including the Agency, to pay into a special fund for the benefit of local schools for the
1992-93, 1993-94, 1994-95, 2002-03, 2003-04, 2004-05, 2005-06, 2009-10 and 2010-11 fiscal years. It is
possible that, in addition to these payment requirements, and the limitations on Tax Revenues described herein,
the California electorate or Legislature could adopt a constitutional or legislative property tax decrease with the
effect of reducing Tax Revenues payable to the Agency. There is no assurance that the California electorate or
Legislature will not at some future time approve additional limitations that could reduce the Tax Revenues and
adversely affect the security of the Bonds. See `BONDO"ERS' RISKS — State Budgets and Educational
Revenue Augmentation Fund."
Hazardous Substances
An additional environmental condition that may result in the reduction in the assessed value of property
would be the discovery of a hazardous substance that would limit the beneficial use of taxable property within the
Project Area. In general, the owners and operators of a property may be required by law to remedy conditions of
16
P:UgeM,\Agenda Anacf.t.B Exbibib2010,12-0610 Recovery Z nc IPFA CDC-Preliminary Official Statamevt(Exbibn B).doc
the property relating to releases or threatened releases of hazardous substances. The owner or operator may be
required to remedy a hazardous substance condition of property whether or not the owner or operator has anything
to do with creating or handling the hazardous substance. The effect, therefore, should any of the property within
the Project Area be affected by a hazardous substance, could be to reduce the marketability and value of the
property by the costs of remedying the condition.
Secondary Market
There can be no guarantee that there will be a secondary market for the Bonds, or, if a secondary market
exists,that such Bonds can be sold for any particular price. Occasionally,because of general market conditions or
because of adverse history or economic prospects connected with a particular issue, secondary marketing
practices in connection with a particular issue are suspended or terminated. Additionally, prices of issues for
which a market is being made will depend upon the then prevailing circumstances. Such prices could be
substantially different from the original purchase price.
Federal Subsidy Payments on Recovery Zone Economic Development Bonds
The Authority intends to elect to designate the Series A Bonds as "Recovery Zone Economic
Development Bonds"and intends to elect to designate the Series B Bonds as"Build America Bonds"for purposes
of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 signed into law on February 17, 2009 (the "Recovery
Act') and to receive a cash subsidy payment from the United States Department of Treasury equal to 45% of the
interest payable on the Series A Bonds on or about each interest payment date for the Series A Bonds (each such
cash subsidy payment,a"Federal Direct Payment').
Pursuant to the Indenture, the Authority has pledged all Federal Direct Payments it receives pursuant to
the Series A Bonds to the Trustee to be deposited into the Revenue Fund to be used solely for the purpose of
paying the principal of and interest on the Bonds,including the redemption price thereof.
The Code imposes requirements that the Authority must continue to meet after the Series A Bonds are
issued in order to receive the Federal Direct Payments. These requirements generally involve the way that
Economic Development Bond proceeds must be invested and ultimately used, and the periodic submission of
requests for payment. If the Authority and the Agency do not meet these requirements, it is possible that the
Authority may not receive the Federal Direct Payments.
The Internal Revenue Service (`IRS") has implemented an examination program for Build America
Bonds, which would include Recovery Zone Economic Development Bonds, and no assurance can be given that
the Series A Bonds will not be selected for a more detailed or comprehensive examination. In the event the IRS
files a proposed adverse determination letter as a result of such an examination, announced IRS policy is to
suspend payment to the Authority of the Federal Direct Payments pending a final determination of the
qualification of the Series A Bonds. Furthermore, in certain circumstances, the Federal Direct Payments may be
reduced (offset)by amounts determined to be applicable under the Code and regulations promulgated thereunder.
For example, offsets may occur by reason of any past-due legally enforceable debt of the Authority to any Federal
agency. The amount of any such offsets is not predictable, but neither the Authority nor the Agency currently
expects that any such offsets will apply to the credits the Authority expects to receive.
LIMITATIONS ON TAX REVENUES AND POSSIBLE SPENDING LIMITATIONS
Property Tax Limitations-Article XIIIA
California voters, on June 6, 1978, approved an amendment (commonly known as both Proposition 13
and the Jarvis-Gann Initiative)to the California Constitution. This amendment, which added Article XIIIA to the
17
PiAgendm'Agv aAMchments:ExhibnsQ01042-06-10Recovery Zone JPFA CM-&elimmary OlBciel Statnent(Exblbg B).doc
California Constitution, among other things, affects the valuation of real property for the purpose of taxation in
that it defines the full cash value of property to mean "the county assessor's valuation of real property as shown
on the 1975/76 tax bill under full cash value, or thereafter, the appraised value of real property when purchased,
newly constructed,or a change in ownership has occurred after the 1975 assessment". The full cash value may be
adjusted annually to reflect inflation at a rate not to exceed 2% per year, or any reduction in the consumer price
index or comparable local data, or any reduction in the event of declining property value caused by damage,
destruction or other factors. The amendment fiuther limits the amount of any ad valorem tax on real property to
1% of the full cash value except that additional taxes may be levied to pay debt service on indebtedness approved
by the voters prior to July 1, 1978. In addition, an amendment to Article XIII was adopted in June 1986 by
initiative which exempts any bonded indebtedness approved by two-thirds of the votes cast by voters for the
acquisition or improvement of real property from the 1 percent limitation.
In the general election held November 4, 1986, voters of the State of California approved two measures,
Propositions 58 and 60, which further amend Article XIIIA. Proposition 58 amends Article XIIIA to provide that
the terms "purchased" and "change of ownership," for purposes of determining full cash value of property under
Article XIIIA, do not include the purchase or transfer of(1) real property between spouses and (2) the principal
residence and the first$1,000,000 of other property between parents and children.
Proposition 60 amends Article XIIIA to permit the Legislature to allow persons over age 55 who sell their
residence to buy or build another of equal or lesser value within two years in the same county, to transfer the old
residence's assessed value to the new residence. Pursuant to Proposition 60, the Legislature has enacted
legislation permitting counties to implement the provisions of Proposition 60.
Challenges to Article XIIIA
There have been many challenges to Article XIIIA of the California Constitution. The United States
Supreme Court heard the appeal in Nordlinger v. Hahn, a challenge relating to residential property. Based upon
the facts presented in Nordlinger, the United States Supreme Court held that the method of property tax
assessment under Article XIIIA did not violate the federal Constitution. The Authority and the Agency cannot
predict whether there will be any future challenges to California's present system of property tax assessment and
cannot evaluate the ultimate effect on the Agency's receipt of tax increment revenues should a future decision
hold unconstitutional the method of assessing property.
Implementing Legislation
Legislation enacted by the California Legislature to implement Article XIIIA (Statutes of 1978, Chapter
292, as amended) provides that, notwithstanding any other law, local agencies may not levy any property tax,
except to pay debt service on indebtedness approved by the voters prior to July 1, 1978, and that each county will
levy the maximum tax permitted by Article XIIIA.
The apportionment of property taxes in fiscal years after 1978/79 has been revised pursuant to Statutes of
1979, Chapter 282 which provides relief funds from State moneys beginning in fiscal year 1978/79 and is
designed to provide a permanent system for sharing State taxes and budget surplus funds with local agencies.
Under Chapter 282, cities and counties receive about one-third more of the remaining property tax revenues
collected under Proposition 13 instead of direct State aid. School districts receive a correspondingly reduced
amount of property taxes,but receive compensation directly from the State and are given additional relief.
Future assessed valuation growth allowed under Article XIIIA (new construction, change of ownership,
2% annual value growth) will be allocated on the basis of"situs" among the jurisdictions that serve the tax rate
area within which the growth occurs except for certain utility property assessed by the State Board of Equalization
which is allocated by a different method discussed herein.

Property Tax Collection Procedures
Classifications. In California, property which is subject to ad valorem taxes is classified as "secured" or
"unsecured." Secured and unsecured property is entered on separate parts of the assessment roll maintained by
the county assessor. The secured classification includes property on which any property tax levied by the County
becomes a lien on that property sufficient, in the opinion of the county assessor, to secure payment of the taxes.
Every tax which becomes a lien on secured property has priority over all other liens on the secured property,
regardless of the time of the creation of other liens. A tax levied on unsecured property does not become a lien
against unsecured property,but may become a lien on certain other property owned by the taxpayer.
Collections. The method of collecting delinquent taxes is substantially different for the two
classifications of property. The taxing authority has four ways of collecting unsecured property taxes in the
absence of timely payment by the taxpayer: (1) a civil action against the taxpayer; (2) filing a certificate in the
office of the county clerk specifying certain facts in order to obtain a judgment lien on certain property of the
taxpayer; (3) filing a certificate of delinquency for record in the county recorder's office, in order to obtain a lien
on certain property of the taxpayer; and(4) seizure and sale of the personal property, improvements or possessory
interests belonging or assessed to the assessee.
The exclusive means of enforcing the payment of delinquent taxes with respect to property on the secured
roll is the sale of property securing the taxes to the State for the amount of taxes which are delinquent.
Penalties. A 10%penalty is added to delinquent taxes which have been levied with respect to property on
the secured roll. In addition, property on the secured roll on which taxes are delinquent is declared in default on
or about June 30 of the fiscal year. Such property may thereafter be redeemed by payment of the delinquent taxes
and a delinquency penalty, plus a redemption penalty of 1.5% per month to the time of redemption and a $15
Redemption Fee. If taxes are unpaid for a period of five years or more, the property is recorded in a "Power to
Sell" status and is subject to sale by the county tax collector. A 10% penalty also applies to the delinquent taxes
on property on the unsecured roll, and further, an additional penalty of 1-1/2%per month accrues with respect to
such taxes beginning the first day of the third month following the delinquency date.
Delinquencies. The valuation of property is determined as of January 1 each year and equal installments
of taxes levied upon secured property become delinquent on the following December 10 and June 10. Taxes on
unsecured property are due January 1. Unsecured taxes enrolled by July 31, if unpaid, are delinquent August 31
at 5:00 p.m. and are subject to penalty; unsecured taxes added to roll after July 31, if unpaid,are delinquent on the
last day of the month succeeding the month of enrollment.
Supplemental Assessments. A bill enacted in 1983, SB 813 (Statutes of 1983, Chapter 498), provides for
the supplemental assessment and taxation of property as of the occurrence of a change in ownership or completion
of new construction. The statute may provide increased revenue to redevelopment agencies to the extent that
supplemental assessments as a result of new construction or changes of ownership occur within the boundaries of
redevelopment projects subsequent to the lien date. To the extent such supplemental assessments occur within the
Project Area, Tax Revenues may increase.
Tax Collection Fees. SB 2557 (Chapter 466, Statutes of 1990) authorizes county auditors to determine
property tax administration costs proportionately attributable to local jurisdictions and to submit invoices to the
jurisdictions for such costs. Subsequent legislation specifically includes redevelopment agencies among the
entities which are subject to a property tax administration charge.

Unitary Property
AB 2890 (Statutes of 1986, Chapter 1457) provides that, commencing with the fiscal year 1988/89,
assessed value derived from State-assessed unitary property (consisting mostly of operational property owned by
utility companies and herein defined as"Unitary Property") is to be allocated county-wide as follows: (i)each tax
rate area will receive the same amount from each assessed utility received in the previous fiscal year unless the
applicable county-wide values are insufficient to do so,in which case values will be allocated to each tax rate area
on a pro-rata basis; and (ii)if values to be allocated are greater than in the previous fiscal year, each tax rate area
will receive a pro-rata share of the increase from each assessed utility according to a specified formula.
Additionally, the lien date on State-assessed property has been changed to January 1. Railroad property will
continue to be assessed and revenues allocated to all tax rate areas where the railroad property is sited.
Appropriations Limitations - Article XM
On November 6, 1979, California voters approved Proposition 4, the so-called Gann Initiative, which
added Article XIIIB to the California Constitution. The principal effect of Article XHIB is to limit the annual
appropriations of the State and any city,county, school district,authority or other political subdivision of the State
to the level of appropriations for the prior fiscal year, as adjusted for changes in the cost of living,population and
services rendered by the government entity.
Effective November 30, 1980,the California Legislature added Section 33678 to the Redevelopment Law
which provided that the allocation of taxes to a redevelopment agency for the purpose of paying principal of, or
interest on, loans, advances, or indebtedness shall not be deemed the receipt by such agency of proceeds of taxes
levied by or on behalf of the agency within the meaning of Article XIIIB, nor shall such portion of taxes be
deemed receipt of taxes by, or an appropriation subject to the limitation of, any other public body within the
meaning or for the purpose of the Constitution and laws of the State, including Section 33678 of the
Redevelopment Law.
Proposition 218
On November 5, 1996, California voters approved Proposition 218—Voter Approval for Local
Government Taxes—Limitation on Fees, Assessments, and Charges—Initiative Constitutional Amendment.
Proposition 218 added Articles XIIIC and XIIID to the California Constitution, imposing certain vote
requirements and other limitations on the imposition of new or increased taxes, assessments and property-related
fees and charges. Tax Revenues securing the Loan securing the Bonds are derived from property taxes which are
outside the scope of taxes, assessments and property-related fees and charges which were limited by Proposition
218.
AB 1290 and AB 1342
In 1993, the Califomia Legislature enacted Assembly Bill 1290 ("AB 1290") which contained several
significant changes in the Redevelopment Law. Among the changes made by AB 1290 was a provision which
limits the period of time for incurring and repaying of loans, advances and indebtedness which are payable from
tax increment revenues. In general, a redevelopment plan may terminate not more than 40 years following the
date of original adoption, and loans,advances and indebtedness may be repaid during a period extending not more
than 10 years following the date of termination of the redevelopment plan. AB 1342 was passed in 1998 and
became effective January 1, 1999. This bill permits agencies having limits shorter than those permitted by AB
1290 to amend their plans to incorporate the maximum permitted limits without complying with the statutory plan
amendment process.

Future Initiatives
Article XIIIA, Article XHIB and certain other propositions affecting property tax levies were each
adopted as measures which qualified for the ballot pursuant to California's initiative process. From time to time
other initiative measures could be adopted, further affecting Agency revenues or the Agency's ability to expand
revenues.
THE AUTHORITY
The San Bernardino Joint Powers Financing Authority was established pursuant to a Joint Exercise of
Powers Agreement dated August 21, 1989, by and between the City and the Agency. The Authority was created
for the purpose of providing financing for redevelopment activities for the City, the Agency, or other local
agencies in the State of California, the acquisition, construction or installation by the Authority of public capital
improvements and/or the purchase by the Authority of public obligation within the meaning of the Marks-Roos
Act. The Authority is authorized pursuant to the Marks-Roos Act to borrow money for the purpose of financing
the acquisition of bonds, notes and other obligation of, or for the purpose of making loans to, the City, the
Agency,or such other local agencies to provide financing for redevelopment activities of the City or the Agency.
Included as Appendix A to this Official Statement is certain general information with respect to the City.
Such information is included for general background purposes only. The Bonds do not constitute a debt to the
City or the Agency, and neither the City, the Agency, the State nor any of its political subdivisions is liable
therefor.
THE AGENCY
The Agency was established pursuant to the Redevelopment Law and activated by the appropriate actions
of the Mayor and Common Council of the City of San Bernardino in 1952. The Agency is responsible for
redeveloping and upgrading blighted areas of the City. The seven members of the Common Council serve as the
governing body of the Agency and exercise all the rights, powers, duties and privileges of the Agency. The
Mayor of the City serves as Agency Chairperson.
All powers of the Agency are vested in its governing body. Pursuant to the Redevelopment Law, the
Agency may exercise broad governmental functions and authority to accomplish its purpose, including, but not
limited to, the right to issue notes and expend their proceeds and the right to acquire, sell, develop, administer or
lease property. The Agency may demolish buildings, clear land and cause to be constructed certain
improvements, including streets, sidewalks and public utilities.
With certain exceptions, the Agency may not construct or develop buildings, with the exception of public
facilities, but must sell or lease clear property to redevelopers for construction and development in accordance
with the Redevelopment Plan.
THE PROJECT AREA
The Redevelopment Plan for the Northwest Project Area was adopted on July 6, 1981,by Ordinance No.
MC-189, which became effective on August 7, 1982. Located in the northwest quadrant of the City of San
Bernardino, the Project Area is divided into Subarea A and Subarea B. The Project Area primarily encompasses
the parcels along thoroughfares in the northwest area of the City. This includes portions of Highland Avenue,
Muscoy Street, and Mount Vernon Avenue.
Subarea A, encompassing 940 acres, is located south of Cajon Boulevard, north of Seventh Street and
west of Interstate 215. This area focuses on commercial corridors along portions of Highland Avenue, Baseline
21

Avenue, Medical Center Drive and Mount Vernon Avenue. San Bernardino Community Hospital and the
Westside Shopping Center are major employers within this area.
Subarea B, encompassing 500 acres, is located north of Devil's Creek Diversion Channel, southeasterly
of Palm, south of Interstate-215, and east and west of Cajon Boulevard. This area is designated for industrial uses
with vacant land available for development. A bridge was built connecting the industrial area to the State College
Business Park industrial area, allowing for better freeway access. The area is in close proximity to Interstate-215
and Interstate-15 freeway interchange.
The Project Area has a community shopping center, which was constructed with the assistance of the
Agency, a four-story, 100,000 square-foot medical office building, a 316,000 sq. ft. adhesive manufacturing and
distribution center and a 75 unit senior housing complex, among other development.
The California Community Redevelopment Law (California Health and Safety Code §§33000 et seq.)
("CRL") requires the Redevelopment Plan to contain certain time and financial limits governing the
administration and financial operations of the Agency. Time limits include the Agency's ability to incur debt,
undertake Redevelopment Plan activities, and collect tax increment revenue to repay debt. Financial limits
include the amount of bonded indebtedness that may be outstanding at any one time and the cumulative amount of
gross tax increment that the Agency may collect. The Agency's time limit to incur debt was eliminated by
Ordinance No. MC-1157 on December 1, 2003 pursuant to Senate Bill 211 (Chapter 741, Statutes of 2001). The
time limits on Redevelopment Plan effectiveness and collection of tax increment to repay debt are July 6, 2025
and July 6, 2035, respectively. Both time limits were extended pursuant to Senate Bill 1045 (Chapter 260,
Statutes of 2003)by one year on June 20, 2005 by Ordinance No. MC-1202, and subsequently extended pursuant
to Senate Bill 1096 (Chapter 211, Statutes of 2004) for two additional years on April 20, 2009 by Ordinance No.
MC-1297. These extensions were authorized by state budget trailer bills related to the shift of Agency tax
increment revenues to the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund in specified years.
All of the Plan limits described above may only be amended by a Redevelopment Plan amendment in
accordance with the CRL.The table below outlines the current Redevelopment Plan limits for the Project Area.

Pass-through Agreements
The Agency entered into one agreement for the allocation and distribution of the tax increment funds
from the Project Area. The Agency's obligations under the pass-through agreement are senior to the receipt of tax
revenues.
In 1982, the County of San Bernardino and the Agency entered into an Interim Agreement for the Project
Area, which required the mutual reevaluation of the financial impacts of the Project Area within 5 years of the
adoption of the Plan. During the 1988 reevaluation, the County and the Agency failed to come to an agreement
on the financial impact of the Project Area. Failure of these negotiations and the lack of an adopted substitute
agreement between the parties have resulted in the County and the Flood Control District retaining their share of
the I%property tax levy for the Project Area. The combined County-Flood Control District share of the I%levy
is 34%.
The Agency, in January 2004, extended the time limit for the last date to incur debt, Senate Bill 211,
which then required the Agency to remit pass-through payments to taxing entities within the Project Area. The
Agency's obligation under SB 211 for pass-through payments is senior to receipt of tax revenues.

Teeter Plan
The San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors has adopted the Alternative Method of Distribution of Tax
Levies and Collections and of Tax Sale Proceeds (the"Teeter Plan"), as provided for in Section 4701 et seq., of the
State Revenue and Taxation Code commencing with fiscal year 93-94 with respect to public agencies which receive
and valorem tax revenues. However, the redevelopment agencies within the County are not allowed to be in the
Teeter Plan. As a result,the "Teeter Plan" is not applicable to the Tax Revenues. It is the experience of the Agency
that it receives more Tax Revenues under the existing method, than it would under the Teeter Plan, due to interest
and penalties charged on delinquent taxes.
Tax Rate
The difference between the actual tax rate and the 1.00% tax rate established by Article XHIA of the
California Constitution represents taxes levied to pay debt approved by the respective voters.
Senate Bill 2557
In 1990, the State enacted Senate Bill 2557 which allows counties to charge fees to local jurisdictions for the
cost of preparing and overseeing the tax roll. Since supplemental revenues historically have offset the administrative
costs, the Historical Valuations showing the available Tax Revenues do not take such administrative costs into
account.
Annual Debt Service
Tax Revenues (as defined in the section "SECURITY FOR THE BONDS") will be received from the
Agency by the Authority pursuant to the Loan Agreement. The Authority will transfer Tax Revenues to the Trustee
to be deposited in the Revenue Fund and applied to the payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds. The
following Table shows the projected Debt Service on the Bonds and all senior and parity debt outstanding.

Planned Merger of Project Areas
The Agency is in the initial stages of a merger of its fourteen (14) redevelopment project areas into two (2)
redevelopment project areas, Merged Area A Project Area and Merged Area B Project Area. In the event the
mergers are completed, it is expected that the existing fourteen (14) redevelopment project areas will be within a
Merged Area A Project Area or Merged Area B Project Area. After the completion of the Merged Area A Project
Area, the 4Bl Street Project will be within the Merged Area A Project Area, consisting of Central City North,
Southeast Industrial Park, Tri-City, South Valle, Meadowbrook/Central City, Central City South and Central City
Redevelopment Project Areas. The Northwest Redevelopment Project Area, which revenues constitute the Tax
Revenues (as herein defined), will be within the Merged Area B Project Area in the event that the Merged Area B
Project Area is completed.
The proposed mergers will result in increasing the total amount of tax increment revenue that can be
accumulated within each of the merged areas, combining the individual project areas' bonded indebtedness limits and
increasing the total amount of bonded indebtedness that can be accumulated for each merged area, and with respect
to some of the project areas,extending the plan effectiveness by ten(10)years.
In the event that the Merged Area B Project Area is adopted, with respect to the Series A Bonds, the
Indenture and Loan Agreement provide that upon meeting certain conditions, namely, (i) delivery to the Trustee of a
Fiscal Consultant's Report and certification by said Fiscal Consultant demonstrating that the pledged tax increment
revenues from the Merged Area A Project Area are at least equal to the pledged Tax Revenues from the Northwest
Project Area on the original Closing Date, (ii) delivery of an opinion of bond counsel stating that the pledge is
consistent with the provisions of the Trust Indenture and the Loan Agreement, and(iii) confirmation in writing from
S&P that the rating on the Series A Bonds will not be diminished or removed by reason of the substitution, all
references to "Project Area" and "Tax Revenues" with respect to the Series A Bonds shall become "Merger A Tax
Revenues"as defined in the Indenture. See"SECURITY FOR THE BONDS—Merger of Project Areas."
MISCELLANEOUS
Enforceability of Remedies
The remedies available to the Trustee or the Authority or the owners of the Bonds upon a default under the
Indenture or the Loan Agreement are in many respects dependent upon judicial actions, which are often subject to
discretion and delay. Under existing constitutional and statutory law and judicial decisions, including specifically
Title 11 of the United States Code (the Federal Bankruptcy Code) and relevant banking and insurance law, the
remedies provided in the Indenture may not be readily available or may be limited. The various legal opinions to be
delivered concurrently with the delivery of the Bonds will be qualified as to the enforceability of the various legal
instruments by limitations imposed by bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or other similar laws affecting the
rights of creditors generally.
Absence of Litigation
As of the date of issuance of the Bonds, officers of the City, the Agency and the Authority will execute
certificates to the effect that there is no controversy or litigation now pending against the City, the Agency or the
Authority, or to the knowledge of its officers threatened, restraining or enjoining the issuance, sale, execution or
delivery of the Bonds, or in any way contesting or affecting the validity of the Bonds.

Tax Matters
The following is a summary of certain material federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership
and disposition of the Bonds for the investors described below and is based on the advice of Lewis Brisbois Bisgaard
& Smith LLP, as Bond Counsel. This summary is based upon laws, regulations, rulings and decisions currently in
effect, all of which are subject to change. The discussion does not deal with all federal tax consequences applicable
to all categories of investors, some of which may be subject to special rules, including but not limited to,partnerships
or entities treated as partnerships for federal income tax purposes, pension plans and foreign investors, except as
otherwise indicated. In addition, this summary is generally limited to investors that are "U.S. holders" (as defined
below) who will hold the Bonds as "capital assets" (generally, property held for investment) within the meaning of
Section 1221 of the Tax Code. Investors should consult their own tax advisors to determine the federal, state, local
and other tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of Bonds. Prospective investors should note
that no rulings have been or will be sought from the Internal Revenue Service (the "Service")with respect to any of
the federal income tax consequences discussed below, and no assurance can be given that the Service will not take
contrary positions.
As used herein, a"U.S. holder"is a"U.S.person"that is beneficial owner of a Bond. A"non U.S. holder" is
a holder(or beneficial owner) of a Bond that is not a U.S.person. For these purposes, a"U.S. Person" is a citizen or
resident of the United States, a corporation or partnership created or organized in or under the laws of the United
States or any political subdivision thereof(except, in the case of a partnership,to the extent otherwise provided in the
Treasury Regulations), an estate the income of which is subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of
its source or a trust if(i)a United States court is able to exercise primary supervision over the trust's administration
and(ii)one or more United States persons have the authority to control all of the trust's substantial decisions.
In General. The Authority intends to elect to designate the Series A Series A Bonds as taxable "Recovery
Zone Economic Development Series A Bonds"pursuant to Section 140OU-2 of the Tax Code. Although the Series A
Series A Bonds are issued by the Authority, interest on the Series A Series A Bonds (including original issue
discount treated as interest) is not excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes under Section 103
of the Tax Code. Interest on the Series A Series A Bonds (including original issue discount treated as interest) will
be fully subject to federal income taxation. Thus, owners of the Series A Series A Bonds generally must include
interest (including original issue discount treated as interest) on the Series A Series A Bonds in gross income for
federal income tax purposes.
To ensure compliance with Treasury Circular 230, holders of the Series A Bonds should be aware and are
hereby put on notice that: (a)the discussion in this Official Statement with respect to U.S. federal income tax
consequences of owning the Series A Bonds is not intended or written to be used, and cannot be used, by any
taxpayer for the purpose of avoiding penalties that may be imposed on the taxpayer; (b) such discussion was written
in connection with the promotion or marketing (within the meaning of Treasury Circular 230) of the transactions or
matters addressed by such discussion; and(c)each taxpayer should seek advice based on its particular circumstances
from an independent tax advisor.
Recovery Zone Economic Development Series A Bonds. The Series A Bonds are expected to be issued as
taxable, Recovery Zone Economic Development Series A Bonds as authorized by the Recovery Act. Pursuant to the
Recovery Act,the Authority expects to receive cash subsidy payments from the United States Treasury equal to 45%
of the interest payable on the Series A Bonds. The Tax Code imposes requirements on the Series A Bonds that the
Authority must continue to meet after the Series A Bonds are issued in order to receive the cash subsidy payments.
These requirements generally involve the way that Series A Bond proceeds must be invested and ultimately used, and
the periodic submission of requests for payment. If the Authority does not meet these requirements, it is possible that
the Authority may not receive the cash subsidy payments.

Characterization of the Trust Estate. Lewis Brisbois Bisgaard& Smith LLP will render on the closing date,
with respect to the Series A Bonds, its opinion to the effect that the Series A Bonds will be treated as debt of the
Authority for federal income tax purposes. Similarly,the Authority intends that the Series A Bonds will be treated as
indebtedness of the Authority for federal income tax purposes. The owners of the Series A Bonds,by accepting such
Series A Bonds, have agreed to treat the Series A Bonds as indebtedness of the Authority for federal income tax
purposes.
Taxation of Interest Income of the Series A Bonds. Payments of interest with regard to the Series A Bonds
will be includible as ordinary income when received or accrued by the holders thereof in accordance with their
respective methods of accounting and applicable provisions of the Tax Code. If the Series A Bonds are deemed to be
issued with original issue discount, Section 1272 of the Tax Code requires the current ratable inclusion in income of
original issue discount greater than a specified de minimis amount using a constant yield method of accounting. In
general, original issue discount is calculated, with regard to any accrual period,by applying the instrument's yield to
its adjusted issue price at the beginning of the accrual period, reduced by any qualified stated interest (as defined in
the Tax Code ) allocable to the period. The aggregate original issue discount allocable to an accrual period is
allocated to each day included in such period. The holder of a debt instrument must include in income the sum of the
daily portions of original issue discount attributable to the number of days he owned the instrument. The legislative
history of the original issue discount provisions indicates that the calculation and accrual of original issue discount
should be based on the prepayment assumptions used by the parties in pricing the transaction.
Payments of interest received with respect to the Series A Bonds will also constitute investment income for
purposes of certain limitations of the Tax Code concerning the deductibility of investment interest expense. Potential
holders of the Series A Bonds should consult their own tax advisors concerning the treatment of interest payments
with regard to the Series A Bonds.
A purchaser(other than a person who purchases a Series A Bond upon issuance at the issue price) who buys
a Series A Bond at a discount from its principal amount (or its adjusted issue price if issued with original issue
discount greater than a specified de minimis amount)will be subject to the market discount rules of the Tax Code. In
general, the market discount rules of the Tax Code treat principal payments and gain on disposition of a debt
instrument as ordinary income to the extent of accrued market discount. Each potential investor should consult his
tax advisor concerning the application of the market discount rules to the Series A Bonds.
Sale or Exchange of the Series A Bonds. If a Series A Bondholder sells a Series A Bond, such person will
recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on such sale and the Series A
Bondholder's basis in such Series A Bond. Ordinarily, such gain or loss will be treated as a capital gain or loss. At
the present time, the maximum capital gain rate for certain assets held for more than twelve months is 15%.
However, if a Series A Bond was subject to its initial issuance at a discount, a portion of such gain will be
recharacterized as interest and therefore ordinary income. In February of 2009, President Barack Obama proposed
increasing the long-term capital gains rate to 20%. The Authority and Series A Bond Counsel cannot predict whether
this increase will receive Congressional approval.
If the terms of a Series A Bond were materially modified, in certain circumstances, a new debt obligation
would be deemed created and exchanged for the prior obligation in a taxable transaction. Among the modifications
which may be treated as material are those which relate to redemption provisions and, in the case of a nonrecourse
obligation, those which involve the substitution of collateral. Each potential holder of a Series A Bond should
consult its own tax advisor concerning the circumstances in which the Series A Bonds would be deemed reissued and
the likely effects,if any,of such reissuance.
The legal defeasance of the Series A Bonds may result in a deemed sale or exchange of such Series A Bonds
under certain circumstances. Owners of such Series A Bonds should consult their tax advisors as to the federal
income tax consequences of such a defeasance.
32
P:Uga meAyenda Anachmma,Exblbks\2010\12-Ob101teove ZmeJPFA CM-P limiu Official St.tmm(Fxhibil B).doe
Backup Withholding. Certain purchasers may be subject to backup withholding at the application rate
determined by statute with respect to interest paid with respect to the Series A Bonds, if the purchasers, upon
issuance, fail to supply the indenture trustee or their brokers with their taxpayer identification numbers, furnish
incorrect taxpayer identification numbers,fail to report interest, dividends or other"reportable payments"(as defined
in the Tax Code) properly, or, under certain circumstances, fail to provide the indenture trustee with a certified
statement,under penalty of perjury,that they are not subject to backup withholding.
Tax Treatment of Original Issue Discount. The Series A Bonds that have an original yield above their
interest rate, as shown on the inside cover page of this Official Statement, are being sold at a discount (the
"Discounted Obligations"). The difference between the initial public offering prices, as set forth on the inside cover
hereof, of the Discounted Obligations and their stated amounts to be paid at maturity, constitutes original issue
discount treated in the same manner for federal income tax purposes as interest,as described above.
In the case of an owner of a Discounted Obligation, the amount of original issue discount which is treated as
having accrued with respect to such Discounted Obligation is added to the cost basis of the owner in determining, for
federal income tax purposes, gain or loss upon disposition of a Discounted Obligation(including its sale,redemption
or payment at maturity). Amounts received upon disposition of a Discounted Obligation which are attributable to
accrued original issue discount will be treated as taxable interest, rather than as taxable gain, for federal income tax
purposes.
Original issue discount is treated as compounding semiannually, at a rate determined by reference to the
yield to maturity of each individual Discounted Obligation, on days which are determined by reference to the
maturity date of such Discounted Obligation. The amount treated as original issue discount on a Discounted
Obligation for a particular semiannual accrual period is equal to (a)the product of(i)the yield to maturity for such
Discounted Obligation (determined by compounding at the close of each accrual period) and (ii)the amount which
would have been the tax basis of such Discounted Obligation at the beginning of the particular accrual period if held
by the original purchaser, (b)less the amount of any interest payable for such Discounted Obligation during the
accrual period. The tax basis is determined by adding to the initial public offering price on such Discounted
Obligation the sum of the amounts which have been treated as original issue discount for such purposes during all
prior periods. If a Discounted Obligation is sold between semiannual compounding dates, original issue discount
which would have been accrued for that semiannual compounding period for federal income tax purposes is to be
apportioned in equal amounts among the days in such compounding period.
The Tax Code contains additional provisions relating to the accrual of original issue discount in the case of
owners of a Discounted Obligation who purchase such Discounted Obligations after the initial offering. Owners of
Discounted Obligations including purchasers of the Discounted Obligations in the secondary market should consult
their own tax advisors with respect to the determination for federal income tax purposes of original issue discount
accrued with respect to such obligations as of any date and with respect to the state and local tax consequences of
owning a Discounted Obligation.
Tax Treatment of Series A Bond Premium. The Series A Bonds that have an original yield below their
interest rate, as shown on the inside cover page of this Official Statement, are being sold at a premium (collectively,
the "Premium Obligations"). An amount equal to the excess of the issue price of a Premium Obligation over its
stated redemption price at maturity constitutes premium on such Premium Obligation. An initial purchaser of such
Premium Obligation must amortize any premium over such Premium Obligation's tern using constant yield
principles, based on the purchaser's yield to maturity (or, in the case of Premium Obligations callable prior to their
maturity, by amortizing the premium to the call date, based upon the purchaser's yield to the call date and giving
effect to any call premium). As premium is amortized, it offsets the interest allocable to the corresponding payment
period and the purchaser's basis in such Premium Obligation is reduced by a corresponding amount resulting in an
increase in the gain (or decrease in the loss) to be recognized for federal income tax purposes upon a sale or
33
P:'Ag.&d Ayende An.MC.(eExhibk,\2010\12-M-10 Recovery Zone JPFA CIX-P.1iminuy ORCiel Statement(Exbibd B).doc
disposition of such Premium Obligation prior to its maturity. Even though the purchaser's basis may be reduced, no
federal income tax deduction is allowed. The same treatment is afforded to the Premium Obligations purchased at a
premium in the secondary market. Purchasers of Premium Obligations should consult with their own tax advisors
with respect to the determination and treatment of amortizable premium for federal income tax purposes and with
respect to the state and local tax consequences of owning such Premium Obligations.
State,Local or Foreign Taxation. No representations are made regarding the tax consequences of purchase,
ownership or disposition of the Series A Bonds under the tax laws of any state, locality or foreign jurisdiction(except
as provided in "Exemption Under State Tax Law"). Investors considering an investment in the Series A Bonds
should consult their own tax advisors regarding such tax consequences.
Tax-Eirempt Investors. In general, an entity which is exempt from federal income tax under the provisions
of Section 501 of the Tax Code is subject to tax on its unrelated business taxable income. An unrelated trade or
business is any trade or business which is not substantially related to the purpose which forms the basis for such
entity's exemption. However, under the provisions of Section 512 of the Tax Code, interest may be excluded from
the calculation of unrelated business taxable income unless the obligation which gave rise to such interest is subject
to acquisition indebtedness. However, as noted above, Bond Counsel has rendered its opinion that the Series A
Bonds will be characterized as debt for federal income tax purposes. Therefore, except to the extent any holder of a
Series A Bond incurs acquisition indebtedness with respect to a Series A Bond, interest paid or accrued with respect
to such Series A Bondholder may be excluded by such tax exempt Series A Bondholder from the calculation of
unrelated business taxable income. Each potential tax exempt holder of a Series A Bond is urged to consult its own
tax advisor regarding the application of these provisions.
Certain ERISA Considerations. The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended
("ERISA"), imposes certain requirements on "employee benefit plans"(as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) subject
to ERISA, including entities such as collective investment funds and separate accounts whose underlying assets
include the assets of such plans(collectively, "ERISA Plan")and on those persons who are fiduciaries with respect to
ERISA Plan. Investments by ERISA Plan are subject to ERISA's general fiduciary requirements, including the
requirement of investment prudence and diversification and the requirement that an ERISA Plan's investments be
made in accordance with the documents governing the ERISA Plan. The prudence of any investment by an ERISA
Plan in the Series A Bonds must be determined by the responsible fiduciary of the ERISA Plan by taking into
account the ERISA Plan's particular circumstances and all of the facts and circumstances of the investment.
Government and non-electing church plans are generally not subject to ERISA. However, such plans may be subject
to similar or other restrictions under state or local law.
In addition, ERISA and the Tax Code generally prohibit certain transactions between an ERISA Plan or a
qualified employee benefit plan under the Tax Code and persons who, with respect to that plan, are fiduciaries or
other "parties in interest" within the meaning of ERISA or "disqualified persons" within the meaning of the Tax
Code. In the absence of an applicable statutory, class or administrative exemption, transactions between an ERISA
Plan and a party in interest with respect to an ERISA Plan, including the acquisition by one from the other of the
Series A Bonds could be viewed as violating those prohibitions. In addition, Tax Code Section 4975 prohibits
transactions between certain tax-favored vehicles such as Individual Retirement Accounts and disqualified persons.
Tax Code Section 503 includes similar restrictions with respect to governmental and church plans. In this regard, the
Authority or any Dealer of the Series A Bonds might be considered or might become a "party in interest" within the
meaning of ERISA or a"disqualified person"within the meaning of the Tax Code, with respect to an ERISA Plan or
a plan or arrangement subject to Tax Code Sections 4975 or 503. Prohibited transactions within the meaning of
ERISA and the Tax Code may arise if the Series A Bonds are acquired by such plans or arrangements with respect to
which the Authority or any Dealer is a party in interest or disqualified person.
In all events, fiduciaries of ERISA Plan and plans or arrangements subject to the above Tax Code Sections,
in consultation with their advisors, should carefully consider the impact of ERISA and the Tax Code on an
34

investment in the Series A Bonds. The sale of the Series A Bonds to a plan is in no respect a representation by the
Authority or the Underwriter that such an investment meets the relevant legal requirements with respect to benefit
plans generally or any particular plan. Any plan proposing to invest in the Series A Bonds should consult with its
counsel to confirm that such investment is permitted under the plan documents and will not result in a non-
exempt prohibited transaction and will satisfy the other requirements of ERISA, the Tax Code and other
applicable law.
Exemption Under State Tax Law. In the further opinion of Series A Bond Counsel,the Series A Bonds and
the income therefrom are exempt from personal taxation by the State of California.
Changes in Federal and State Tax Law. From time to time, there are legislative proposals in the Congress
and in the states that, if enacted, could alter or amend the federal and state tax matters referred to above or adversely
affect the market value of the Series A Bonds. It cannot be predicted whether or in what form any such proposal
might be enacted or whether if enacted it would apply to bonds issued prior to enactment. In addition, regulatory
actions are from time to time announced or proposed and litigation is threatened or commenced which, if
implemented or concluded in a particular manner, could adversely affect the market value of the Series A Bonds. It
cannot be predicted whether any such regulatory action will be implemented,how any particular litigation or judicial
action will be resolved, or whether the Series A Bonds or the market value thereof would be impacted thereby.
Purchasers of the Series A Bonds should consult their tax advisors regarding any pending or proposed legislation,
regulatory initiatives or litigation. The opinions expressed by Series A Bond Counsel are based upon existing
legislation and regulations as interpreted by relevant judicial and regulatory authorities as of the date of issuance and
delivery of the Series A Bonds and Series A Bond Counsel has expressed no opinion as of any date subsequent
thereto or with respect to any pending legislation, regulatory initiatives or litigation.
The form of opinion expected to be delivered by Series A Bond Counsel for the Series A Bonds is set forth in
"APPENDIX E—FORM OF OPINION OF BOND COUNSEL."
Series B Bonds
The Code establishes certain requirements that must be satisfied subsequent to the issuance of the Series B
Bonds in order that interest on the Series B Bonds be and remain not included in gross income for Federal income tax
purposes, including certain limitations on investment earnings and the rebate of certain moneys to the United States.
Noncompliance with such requirements could cause interest on the Series B Bonds to be included in gross income of
the owners thereof retroactive to the date of issuance of the Series B Bonds, regardless of when such noncompliance
occurs. The Arbitrage and Use of Proceeds Certificate of the Authority, which will be delivered concurrently with
the delivery of the Series B Bonds, will contain provisions and procedures regarding compliance with the
requirements of the Code. The Authority, in executing the Arbitrage and Use of Proceeds Certificate, will certify to
the effect that it will comply with the provisions and procedures set forth therein and that it will do and perform all
acts and things necessary or desirable in order to assure that interest on the Series B Bonds shall, for purposes of
Federal income taxation, not be included in gross income.
In the opinion of Lewis Brisbois Bisgaard & Smith, Bond Counsel, assuming continuing compliance with
certain conditions imposed by applicable Federal tax law under existing statutes and court decisions, interest on the
Series B Bonds is not included in gross income for Federal income tax purposes pursuant to Section 103 of the Code.
In addition, such interest will not be treated as a preference item in calculating alternative minimum taxable income
for purposes of the alternative minimum tax imposed by the Code with respect to individuals and corporations; such
interest, however, will be included in the adjusted net book income or adjusted current earnings of a corporation for
purposes of computing the alternative minimum tax imposed on corporations.
Under existing statutes, interest on the Series B Bonds is exempt from present State of California personal
income taxes.

purpose treating payments under such pass-through agreements as though they were payments
under a Parity Loan.
Section 4.04. Issuance or Incurrence of Subordinate Debt. The Agency may
issue or incur Subordinate Debt while the Bonds are Outstanding.
Section 4.05. Payment of Claims. The Agency will pay and discharge, or cause

such payment so long as the Agency in good faith shall contest the validity of said claims.

property becoming exempt from taxation because of public ownership or use or otherwise except
property dedicated for public right-of-way and except property planned for public ownership or
use by the Redevelopment Plan in effect on the date of this Loan Agreement so that such
disposition shall, when taken together with other such disposition, (i) aggregate ten percent
(10%) or more of the land area in the Project Area, (ii) aggregate 10% or more of the assessed
value of the Project Area, or (iii) cause the amount of Tax Revenues to be received in the
succeeding Fiscal Year to fall below 125% of maximum annual debt service on the Loan, unless
such disposition is permitted as hereinafter provided in this Section 4.09. If the Agency proposes
to participate in such a disposition, it shall thereupon appoint an Independent Financial
Consultant to report on the effect of said proposed disposition. If the Report of the Independent
Financial Consultant concludes that the security of the Loan or the rights of the Authority, the
Owners of Bonds and the Trustee hereunder will not be materially impaired by said proposed
disposition the Agency may thereafter make such disposition. If said Report concludes that such
security will be materially impaired by said proposed disposition, the Agency shall disapprove

effect of reducing the amount of the Tax Revenues available to the Agency for payment of the
Loan, unless the Agency shall first comply with the requirements of Section 4.02 and 4.03

Section 4.11. Payment of Expenses, Indemnification. The Agency shall pay to

incurred in and about the performance of its powers and duties hereunder and thereunder. Upon

employees, harmless against any losses, expenses and liabilities which it may incur arising out of

expenses of defending against any claim of liability, but excluding any and all losses, expenses
and liabilities which are due to the negligence or willful misconduct of the Trustee, its officers,
directors, agents or employees. The obligations of the Agency under this paragraph all survive
the resignation or removal of the Trustee under the Indenture, this Loan Agreement and payment
of the Loan and the discharge of this Loan Agreement.
Section 4.12. Continuing Disclosure. The Agency has undertaken all
responsibility for compliance with continuing disclosure requirements contained in the
Continuing Disclosure Agreement, and the Authority shall have no liability to the Holders of the

covenants and agrees that it will comply with and carry out all of the provisions of the
Continuing Disclosure Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture, failure
of the Agency or the Trustee to comply with the Continuing Disclosure Agreement shall not be
considered an Event of Default; however, the Trustee shall at the written request of any
Participating Underwriter or the owners of at least 25% aggregate principal amount of
Outstanding Bonds, but only to the extent the Trustee has been indemnified to its satisfaction
from any cost, liability or expense including those it its attorneys or any owner, may take such
actions as may be necessary and appropriate, including seeking mandate or specific performance
by court order, to cause the Agency to comply with its obligations hereunder or to cause the
Trustee to comply with its obligations under the Indenture.
Section 4.13. Compliance with Recovery Act Requirements. Pursuant to the
Indenture, the Authority has pledged all Federal Direct Payments in connection with the Series A
Bonds to the Trustee to be deposited into the Bond Service Fund to be used solely for the
purpose of paying the principal of, and interest on, the Bonds, including the redemption price
thereof. The Code imposes requirements that the Authority and the Agency must continue to
meet after the Bonds are issued in order to receive the Federal Direct Payments. The Authority
and the Agency covenant to use the proceeds of the Series A Bonds, to invest said proceeds as
provided in the Recovery Act and to make such filings as required in connection with the
Recovery Act in order to maintain the Authority's ability to receive Federal Direct Payments to
the extent available for payment to the Authority.
Section 4.14. Compliance With Arbitrage Requirements for the Series B Bonds,
Payment of Rebatable Amounts. The Agency shall not take, or permit or suffer to be taken by
12
P:\Agendas\Agende Anuhments\Exhibits�010\12-0610 Ruo Zone RA_CP Resos-I.osn Agreement(Exhibit C).dm
the Trustee or otherwise, any action with respect to the proceeds of the Loan attributable to the
Series B Bonds, which if such action had been reasonably expected to have been taken, or had
been deliberately and intentionally taken, on the Closing Date would have caused any of the
Series B Bonds to be "arbitrage bonds within the meaning of Section 148(a) of the Tax Code or
to be"private activity bonds" within the meaning of Section 141 of the Tax Code.
The Agency agrees to furnish all information to, and cooperate fully with, the
Authority, the Trustee and their respective officers, employees, agents and attorneys, in order to
assure compliance with the provisions of Section 5.08 of the Indenture. In the event that the
Authority shall determine, pursuant to Section 5.08 of the Indenture, that any amounts are due
and payable to the United States of America thereunder, and that neither the Authority nor the
Trustee has on deposit an amount of available moneys (excluding moneys on deposit in the
Interest Account, the Principal Account, the Series B Reserve Fund or the Series A Reserve
Fund, and excluding any other moneys required to pay the principal of or interest or redemption
premium, if any, on the Outstanding Bonds)to make such payment, the Authority shall promptly
notify the Agency of such fact. Upon receipt of any such notice, the Agency shall promptly pay
to the Trustee from available Tax Revenues or any other source of legally available funds, for
deposit into the Rebate Account, the sum of (a) one hundred percent (100%) of the amounts
determined by the Authority to be due and payable to the United States of America as a result of
the investment of amounts on deposit in any fund or account established hereunder, plus (b) all
other amounts due and payable to the United States of America.
The Agency further agrees and acknowledges that the representations made in the
Tax Certificate dated the Closing Date, executed by the Agency and the Authority, are true and

(b) Failure by the Agency to observe and perform any of the covenants,
agreements or conditions on its part contained in this Loan Agreement, other than as referred to
in the preceding clause (a), for a period of sixty (60) days after written notice specifying such
failure and requesting that it be remedied has been given to the Agency by the Trustee; provided,
however, that if in the reasonable opinion of the Agency the failure stated in such notice can be
corrected, but not within such sixty (60) day period, the Trustee shall not unreasonably withhold
its consent to an extension of such time if corrective action is instituted by the Agency within
such sixty (60) day period and diligently pursued until such failure is corrected. No grace period
13
P:Ugendas\AgendaA chmenb\Exhibiu\2010\12-0610Recovery Zone RA CDC Resos-Lom Ageemem(Exhibit Q dm
for a covenant default shall exceed thirty (30) days, nor be extended for more than sixty (60)
days.
(c) The filing by the Agency of a petition or answer seeking reorganization or
arrangement under the federal bankruptcy laws or any other applicable law of the United States
of America, or if a court of competent jurisdiction shall approve a petition, filed with or without
the consent of the Agency, seeking reorganization under the federal bankruptcy laws or any other
applicable law of the United States of America, or if, under the provisions of any other law for
the relief or aid of debtors any court of competent jurisdiction shall assume custody or control of
the Agency or of the whole or any substantial part of its property. This provision, however, is
subject to the condition that if, at any time after the principal of the Loan shall have been so
declared due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the moneys due
shall have been obtained or entered, the Agency shall deposit with the Trustee a sum sufficient to
pay all installments of principal on the Loan matured prior to such declaration and all accrued
interest thereon, with interest on such overdue installments of principal and interest at the net
effective rate then borne by the Outstanding Bonds, and the reasonable fees and expenses of the
Trustee (including but not limited to attorneys fees and expenses), and any and all other defaults
known to the Trustee (other than in the payment of principal and interest on the Loan 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 Owners of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Outstanding Bonds may, by written notice to the Trustee and the Agency, rescind
and annul such declaration and its consequences. However, 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.
If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at the written direction of
the Owners of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds, the Trustee
shall, to the extent indemnified from liability or expense, including without limitation fees and
expenses of its attorneys, exercise any remedies available to the Trustee in law or at equity.
Section 5.02. Application of Funds Upon Default. After the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Trustee shall have the right to control and
direct all remedies and other actions relating to default hereunder. All amounts received by the
Trustee pursuant to any right given or action taken by the Trustee under the provisions of this
Loan Agreement, otherwise held by the Trustee upon the occurrence of an Event of Default,
shall be applied by the Trustee in the following order:
First, to the payment of the costs and expenses of the Trustee in declaring such
Event of Default and in carrying out the provisions of this Article V, including reasonable
compensation to its agents, attorneys and counsel and
Second, to the payment of the whole amount of interest on and principal of the
Loan then due and unpaid, with interest on overdue installments of principal and interest to the
extent permitted by law at the net effective rate of interest then borne by the Outstanding Bonds;
provided, however, that in the event such amounts shall be insufficient to pay in full the full
14
P:V4cnduMgeoda Auacbme Wa b-bitdI010U]-06-IORecomyZw IPA_CDCRn -Imes ARreemete(ExhibitQdac
amount of such interest and principal, then such amounts shall be applied in the following order
of priority:
(a) to the payment of all installments of interest on the Loan then due and
unpaid,
(b) to the payment of principal of all installments of the Loan then due and
unpaid,
(c) to the payment of interest on overdue installments of principal and
interest.
Neither failure by the Authority or the Agency to comply with the requirements of
the Tax Code, which must be satisfied for the Authority to receive the cash subsidy payments
applicable to the Bonds, nor in any event to receive any cash subsidy payments applicable to the
Bonds, constitutes a default by the Authority hereunder.
Section 5.03. No Waiver. Nothing in this Article V or in any other provision of
this Loan Agreement, shall affect or impair the obligation of the Agency, which is absolute and
unconditional, to pay from the Tax Revenues and other amounts pledged hereunder, the principal
of and interest and premium (if any) on the Loan to the Trustee as herein provided, or affect or
impair the right of action, which is also absolute and unconditional, of the Trustee to institute suit
to enforce such payment by virtue of the contract embodied in this Loan Agreement.
A waiver of any default by the Trustee shall not affect any subsequent default or
impair any rights or remedies on the subsequent default. No delay or omission of the Trustee to
exercise any right or power accruing upon any default shall impair any such right or power or
shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default or a acquiescence therein, and every power
and remedy conferred upon the Trustee by the Act or by this Article V may be enforced and
exercised from time to time and as often as shall be deemed expedient by the Trustee.
If a suit, action or proceeding to enforce any right or exercise any remedy shall be
abandoned or determined adversely to the Trustee, the Agency and the Trustee shall be restored
to their former positions, rights and remedies as if such suit, action or proceeding had not been
brought or taken (except in the event that an action determined adversely to the Trustee was for
removal thereof).
Section 5.04. Remedies Not Exclusive. No remedy herein conferred upon or
reserved to the Trustee is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy. Every such remedy shall
be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder now or hereafter
existing, at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and may be exercised without exhausting
and without regard to any other remedy conferred by the Act or any other law.
