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.

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 RV,pndu\Comm Dev Commietion\CDC 201012A 10 Recovery Zorn Bad leeueMe SAdoc COMMISSION MEETING AGENDA Meeting Date: 12/06/10 Agenda Item Number: Economic Development Agency Staff Report Recovery Zone Bond Issuance Page 3 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 PWgendn\ConesD Commission\CDC 2010\12-0610 Rmovery Zone Bond lssoana SR-dm COMMISSION MEETING AGENDA Meeting Date: 12/06/10 Agenda Item Number: Economic Development Agency Staff Report Recovery Zone Bond Issuance Page 4 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").

COMMISSION MEETING AGENDA Meeting Date: 12/06/10 Agenda Item Number: Economic Development Agency Staff Report Recovery Zone Bond Issuance Page 5 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: NORTHWEST REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREA ESTIMATED PROJECT AREA/LIMITS COST (NORTHWEST REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT SUB-AREA"A") Various neighborhood street light, street reconstruction projects,and signage,etc. $1,500,000 Baseline at California—right-of-way easement,curb/gutter/sidewalk $350,000 West Highland Corridor Improvements between Macy Street and California Street - the $800,000 design/reconstruction of street including storm drains, sewer, streetscapes, landscaping, upgrade signage and signalization, utilities, curb and gutter, sidewalk; fagade improvement; demolition of buildings; clearance of parcels along the south side of West Highland I-210/State Street Corridor Infrastructure Improvements from State Street exit to Lytle $950,000 Creek - the design/reconstruction of street including storm drains, sewer, streetscapes, landscaping, upgrade signage and signalization, utilities, curb and gutter, sidewalk; other development incentives Various land acquisition/assembly projects, demolition of blighted properties, etc. $2,300,000 Southeast comer of Highland and Medical Center Drive - sidewalk, curb and gutter; $830,000 additional street lighting; undergrounding of utilities; upgrade to main sewer connection Medical Center Drive South of the Magnolia at Highland Project - sidewalk, curb and $450,000 gutter; additional street lighting; undergrounding of utilities; upgrade to main sewer connection Highland Avenue west of Medical Center Drive - the design/reconstruction of street $1,000,000 including storm drains, sewer, streetscapes, landscaping, upgrade signage and signalization, utilities, curb and gutter, sidewalk Total : 8,180,000 PAAp.d.T..De C.iuion\CDC 2010\12-0610 R .y Z.

COMMISSION MEETING AGENDA Meeting Date: 12/06/10 Agenda Item Number: Economic Development Agency Staff Report Recovery Zone Bond Issuance Page 6 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.

("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.

O PSG 1 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.

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.

O RSG 4 REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO NORTHWEST FISCAL CONSULTANT REPORT 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.

The City Council adopted Ordinance No. MG-1297 on April 20,2009 pursuant to SB 1096 extending the time limits for an additional two years. 3 The City Council adopted Ordinance No. MG189 on July 6, 1982 adopting the Redevelopment Plan and establishing financial limits for bonded indebtedness and tax increment. 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. O RSG 5 REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO 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.

O RSG 6 REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO NORTHWEST FISCAL CONSULTANT REPORT 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.

Source:First American CoreLogic Inc., San Bernardino County Auditor Controller 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. qRS(-' 8 REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO NORTHWEST FISCAL CONSULTANT REPORT Changes in Secured Values from Anticipated Table 6 New Construction' San Bernardino Northwest Redevelopment Project Anticipated Fiscal Year Number of Assessed Completion Impacted Building Permits Value Added 2011 2012-13 1 $ 229,678 'Omits permit activity for tax-exempt properties(e.g.,churches) Source.'San Bernardino Economic Development Agency 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 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 (q RS( . 10 REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO NORTHWEST FISCAL CONSULTANT REPORT 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.

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.

O RSG 14 REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO NORTHWEST FISCAL CONSULTANT REPORT 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%.

As described earlier, three of the Top 10 Taxpayers have filed assessment appeals during the past five years. Pending Top 10 Taxpayer appeals comprise $103,410,369 in requested value reductions. The Revenue Projections assume these appeals will be granted and factor in reductions to fiscal year 2010-11 assessed value and tax increment revenue using the methodology outlined in this Report. O RSG 18 REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO NORTHWEST FISCAL CONSULTANT REPORT DISCLAIMER RSG has attempted to take into account all pertinent factors during the preparation of the Revenue Projections and this Report. Our goal is to provide realistic revenue projections without overstating future property tax revenues.

The 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 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.

(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. 21 P:�gendw\Agenda AnwhnnentsTxhlbits1201012 4&10Rec nq Zone RA_CDC Pews-Indenture of Ten(Exhibit A).don (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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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 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 PAlgendas\Agenda AttachmemsTxhibiss\2010\12-0 10 Reoos Zone PA CDC Resos-Indentre off mot A).doc (c) Information Reporting.

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.

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 the Bonds shall be on parity with the 2002A Bonds and the 2005B Bonds(as herein defined). *Preliminary;subject to change. I 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). 2 P:Age \Agevda Anacbm en ts\Eabib'as\2010\I2-06-10Recovery ZoneRFA_CDC-Preliminary Official Sutameat(Exhibit B).doc This Official Statement contains brief descriptions of, among other things, the Bonds, the Authority, the Agency, the Project Area and the Security for the Bonds, including the Indenture, the Loan Agreement and the Continuing Disclosure Agreement.

THE PROJECT 4d'Street Project The 4" Street Project is designated as the "41h Street Corridor" in Downtown San Bernardino from "E" Street west to"H" Street and from 2" Street north to 5fl' Street. 4" Street was formerly the major access route to the Interstate-215 Freeway (e9-215"). 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 4d' 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.

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. 5 P:*g.&aAgenda AnaclwenB\ExhibkeQ010\12-0610Recovery ZoneHFA CDC-P Iimine OfRciel Statement(Exhibit B).d 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: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. Redemption Optional Redemption. [TO COME] Mandatory Redemption From Sinking Fund Payments The Bonds maturing on October 1, _, October 1, and October 1, _(the "Term Bonds") are subject to mandatory redemption in part by lot prior to maturity, from sinking fund payments made on the following dates at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued interest, if any, to the redemption date,without premium,as set forth in the following table.

In lieu of mandatory sinking fund redemption, the Agency may elect to purchase such Bonds and tender them to the Trustee for cancellation. 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 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. 18 P:Wgm&sAVn"Aftwh m xhibas\2010\12-06-10Recovery Zone JPFA CDC-P cimie Officul State (FxhiW B).&c 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. !I I 19 I P:NgeedasWgrnda Atlecbmmis\Exhibrcc\3010\17-0610 Ravvery ZOVe 1PFA_CDC-Prelimmery 015cu1 SUhmevt(Exbiba B).doc 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. 20 P:Agenlas)AgeMs Atuchments\Ez ibitst2010\I7-06-10 Recovuy Zone RFA CDC-Preliminary Official Statemeet(E�hibn B).doc 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 P.\A,,.hsUgeoda Atl,jh \E,bft&,t 2010\12-06-10RecoveryZmR'FA_CUC-PreGmmvPOf Wstet.m (Exhibit%doc 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. 22 P:\Agcn&s\Agmdx Avech %\Exhibus(2010\12-06-10 Rao Z=JPFA_CDC-Prclvvimy Official Swemml(Exhibit 8)Aoc TABLE 1 Redevelopment Plan Limits San Bernardino Northwest Redevelopment Project Plan Adoption July 6, 1982 Time Limits Incur Debt' Eliminated Collect Tax Increment/Repay Debt July 6,2035 Plan EffectiveneSS2 July 6, 2025 Financial Limits Bonded Indebtedness' $35,000,000 Tax Increment $ 4,500,000 Annually ' The City Council adopted Ordinance No. MC-1157 on December 1, 2003 eliminating the time limit to incur debt pursuant to SB 211.

Source: City of San Bernardino 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. 23 P:UgenJ genda Anechme \ExhibusV010\12-06-10Recovery Tree JPFA_CCC-Prelimivmy Olficiel5bhsaem(Exhibit B).doc The Project Area's Top 10 Taxpayers are listed below.

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.

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. Ratings [TO COME] 30 P:'AgendasWgc Aftw ments�EMibas�010\12-06-10Recovery ZoneRFA_CDC-PMiminary Official Statement(EVbibit B).doo 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. 31 P:Agea s\Ageo Anach ems\Exhibits\2010\12-06-10Re ve Zone B'FA_CDC-Preliminary Official Statemmn(ExhiW B)AW 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:WgendesUgeiMe Auachmems\Exhibits\2010\12-06-10Recovery ZonedPFA_COC-Pmtimim Officm]Statemmt(Exhibit8).doc 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 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. 35 P:AgeedesAgeeda Attach ts\Exhibits\2010\12-06-10Recovery ZoneRFA_CDC-I limine Official Stetcmcc,(Exbibil B)Aoc Underwriting Kinsell, Newcomb & De Dios, Inc.

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.

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 bome 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 carving 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.Wgendas\Agenda AnxhmeWsExbibi b12010U246-10Rworvy ZO 1PA_CDC Re -Lw Aga =(ExhibitQdm 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.

The 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 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.

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 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.

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.

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).

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°i Street Corridor within the downtown area of the City from "E" Street 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. 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 the Bonds shall be on parity with the 2002A Bonds and the 2005B Bonds(as herein defined). *Preliminary;subject to change. 1 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). 2 o.�s....,.a.ae.....a.e«..e......nu�:w:..mm�u e.lu_:n u......»...o...,.mce rm_w.rm:.....,nm....e o...........uu....o......

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.

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. 5 PSAgcs s%ASCnda AMchmenls�hibits\2010\12-06-10Recovery Zone JPFA CDC-Preliminary Official Statement(Exhibit B).doa 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.

In lieu of mandatory sinking fund redemption, the Agency may elect to purchase such Bonds and tender them to the Trustee for cancellation. 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 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 8 P.''A6mdss\Agmde Atlechm tsTxhiMs\20IM12-M-IORemve Zove1PFA_000-Prcliminury Official Stm ¢m(Exhib B)Aoc 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 P:WyendasA,e Afinb ets(Exhibest2010112-0610Recovery2mte1PFA_CDC-Pmliaanu Official Statement(Exhibit B).doc 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. 18 P9,lgcvdesW6ende Mnceh Ms ahibft, 010\12-06-10 RCc., ) .Z JPFA CDC-P H.inm Offio.l Sttlaocvl(Exblbn B).doc 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. 19 P:\A,e s\Agen4Aneehe uTxh'bits�010\13-06-IOR=w Zone JPFA CDC-Pmimiv Offidfstam (EAM B)AE 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. 20 P:\Age as\Agev AnachmmislExhibits`5010'.12.0610Recovery ZoneRFA( -Pmliminary Otficul Statement(Exhibb E)AM 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 P:Wgetdes�Agmde Anu hmemsT.hibksV010U7.06-10Recovery Zo.1PFA Cl -P limmmy OfB iel Statemem(Exhibn B).doc 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. 22 PdA6endxs�Agende Anechmeots\Exbibns%2010'.12-0610Recovery Zone)PFA CW-P limimry Officixl StatememtE¢hibn B).doc TABLE 1 Redevelopment Plan Limits San Bernardino Northwest Redevelopment Project Plan Adoption July 6, 1982 Time Limits Incur Debt' Eliminated Collect Tax Increment/Repay Debt2 July 6,2035 Plan Effectiveness2 July 6,2025 Financial Limits Bonded Indebtedness' $35,000,000 Tax Increment' $ 4,500,000 Annually ' The City Council adopted Ordinance No. MC-1157 on December 1, 2003 eliminating the time limit to incur debt pursuant to SB 211. 2 The City Council adopted Ordinance No. MC-1202 on June 20, 2005 pursuant to SB 1045 extending the time limits for plan effectiveness and tax increment collection by one year. The City Council adopted Ordinance No. MC-1297 on April 20,2009 pursuant to SB 1096 extending the time limits for an additional two years. The City Council adopted Ordinance No. MC-189 on July 6, 1982 adopting the Redevelopment Plan and establishing financial limits for bonded indebtedness and tax increment. Source: City of San Bernardino 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. 23 P:UgendasWge Anachmcn&ExhiMts12010`.12-06-10 Rmo M Z nc JPFA CW-Pmlimimry M6.1 Smtement(Exhibit B)Aoc The Project Area's Top 10 Taxpayers are listed below.

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. 28 Pivlyend M,cnda AUnchmcnb\ExMU1\2010\12-0&10 Recovery&mJPFA CW-R Ihmry! d.]Smemmt(Exhibn B)Am TABLE 6 Annual Debt Service* Existing Northwest Series Redevelopment 2002 A Preliminary Preliminary Project Tax Junior Existing Series Series 2010 Series 2010 Total Increment Lien Debt 2005 A&B Debt A Debt B Debt Debt Year Revenues( ) Service Service Service(2) Service Service Coverage 2011 2,348,221.00 386,900 355,155 582,167 237,958 1,562,180 1.50 2012 2,380,908.00 388,925 354,941 431,779 406,913 1,582,558 1.50 2013 2,364,866.00 390,206 355,171 440,001 388,763 1,574,140 1.50 2014 2,348,944.00 390,306 355,029 442,624 374,863 1,562,821 1.50 2015 2,332,704.00 389,806 355,006 449,848 360,238 1,554,897 1.50 2016 2,316,139.00 388,706 355,057 456,474 339,988 1,540,225 1.50 2017 2,299,243.00 387,006 355,141 467,503 319,788 1,529,437 1.50 2018 2,282,009.00 389,706 354,959 472,733 299,713 1,517,111 1.50 2019 2,264,430.00 386,506 354,990 482,366 284,838 1,508,699 1.50 2020 2,246,499.00 387,476 355,173 491,201 260,038 1,493,888 1.50 2021 2,228,210.00 407,531 354,768 499,238 220,788 1,482,324 1.50 2022 2,209,555.00 363,981 354,804 511,478 237,863 1,468,125 1.51 2023 2,190,528.00 357,088 354,786 522,721 223,613 1,458,207 1.50 2024 2,171,119.00 414,531 354,951 532,968 144,863 1,447,312 1.50 2025 2,151,322.00 357,006 355,003 547,217 169,863 1,429,088 1.51 2026 2,131,130.00 . 511,800, 560,270 343,613 1,415,683 1.51 2027 2,110,533.00 577,127 828,613 1,405,739 1.50 2028 2,089,525.00 592,588 797,125 1,389,713 1.50 2029 2,068,097.00 611,654 765,375 1,377,029 1.50 2030 2,046,239.00 629,124 468,363 1,097,487 1.86 2031 2,023,945.00 2032 2,001,205.00 2033 1,978,010.00 (1)Net Tax Increment after Housing Set-Aside and Pass Throughs including SB 211 -subject to an annual cap of $4.5 Million (2)Assumes the 45%Direct Subsidy will be used to pay debt service Source: Rosenow Spevacek Group, Inc. 29 PdAgcndas\Agenda Anachmems\ahibhs\2010\12-610 Reaovep&.RFA CDC-Pediminary Off.60 Swa m(Exhibh B).&, 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. Ratings [TO COME] 30 PPApadas%AgcMa Atlachmrnts\Exhibila @010\13-06-10 Raorc Zone JPYA CDC-Pmliminary Official Stalin t(Exhibit B).doc 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. 31 P:`A,,Ma'Ag,M Anuhmeoh\EAibiu\2010\12-a6-IO R=ovM Zone IPFA CDC-Pmhminmy ORcial Statement(EAft B).doc 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 P:'Ag=&Ss genda ARecb missTxbibhs�201012-0610 Recovery Zone JPPA_CD -Reliaaj y Official Statemeat(Exhibit R).Eoc 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. 35 P)AyndastAycvda Attachmcros�ExM11tla @OIOV 2-06-10Reccv Zone JPFA_CDC-Preliminary Official Statcmem(EAibd B).doc Underwriting Kinsell, Newcomb & De Dios, Inc.

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.

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.

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.
