SUCCESSOR AGENCY OF THE REDEVELOPMENT
AGENCY OF THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE
TO: MEMBERS OF THE OVERSIGHT BOARD
FROM: BARBARA LEIBOLD, SUCCESSOR AGENCY COUNSEL
DATE: JUNE 25, 2013
SUBJECT: FIRST AMENDMENT TO CONSOLIDATED AMENDED AND
RESTATED REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT (LERA BONDS)
Background
The Oversight Board to the Successor Agency of the Redevelopment Agency of the
City of Lake Elsinore ( "Oversight Board ") has been established to oversee the
recognized enforceable obligations and winding down of the affairs of the former
Redevelopment Agency of the City of Lake Elsinore (the "Agency ") by the Successor
Agency in accordance with the California Health and Safety Code.
One of the Successor Agency's enforceable obligations is the Consolidated Amended
and Restated Reimbursement Agreement (LERA) providing for reimbursement to the
City of debt service payments in connection with the Lake Elsinore Recreation Authority
Bonds. This obligation (Line 18 of the Successor Agency ROPS approved by the
Oversight Board and the Department of Finance) relates to financial transactions of the
Agency, the City, the Lake Elsinore Public Financing Authority (the "PFA ") and the Lake
Elsinore Recreation Authority ( "LERA ") commencing in the 1990's to fund
redevelopment projects pursuant to the Redevelopment Plans for each of the Agency's
Rancho Laguna Redevelopment Project Areas Nos. I, II, and III (the "Project Areas ").
In 1993, the PFA issued the Lake Elsinore Public Financing Authority 1993 Series B
Senior and Subordinate Taxable Tax Allocation Revenue Notes (Lake Elsinore
Redevelopment Projects) (the "1993 Taxable Notes ") to finance a multi - purpose
stadium (the "Project ") located in the Agency's Rancho Laguna Redevelopment Project
Area No. III and of benefit to the Project Areas. Companion tax- exempt notes were also
issued by the PFA in connection with such financing.
In 1994, the City Council determined that the Agency would require the City's
assistance in refinancing the 1993 Taxable Notes which were to mature on October 1,
1994. The City proposed a refinancing plan for the Project pursuant to which the PFA
issued the Lake Elsinore Public Financing Authority 1994 Revenue Bonds (Lake
Elsinore Redevelopment Projects) Series A (the "1994 Bonds') and related financing
agreements. Concurrently with the issuance of the 1994 Bonds, the Agency entered
into certain Reimbursement Agreements, each dated as of September 1, 1994 (the
"Original Reimbursement Agreements "), with the City whereby the Agency pledged the
AGENDA ITEM 3 Pave 1
First Amendment to Consolidated Amended and Restated Reimbursement Agreement
June 25, 2013
use of tax increment revenues from the Project Areas to reimburse the City for
payments pursuant to the financing documents.
In December 1996, the LERA was established pursuant to a Joint Exercise of Powers
Agreement by and between the City and the Agency to provide a mechanism to
refinance various debt obligations arising from multiple redevelopment projects,
including the construction of Diamond Stadium. In 1997, the LERA issued its first bonds
known as the Lake Elsinore Recreation Authority Revenue Bonds, 1997 Series A (Public
Facilities Authority) in the amount of $14,680,000 (the "1997 Bonds ") which refinanced
the 1994 Bonds and prepaid the City's obligations under the related financing
agreements. A Lease Agreement, dated as of December 1, 1996 (the "1996 Lease
Agreement "), was entered into by and between the City and the LERA for the lease of
certain recreational property and improvements, the payment of which secured the 1997
Bonds (the "1997 Lease Payment ").
The City used the proceeds of the 1997 Bonds to prepay all of its obligations under the
financing agreements related to the 1994 Bonds. However, pursuant to the Original
Reimbursement Agreements, as a result of the prepayment by the City of its obligations
under the 1994 financing agreements and the refunding of the 1994 Bonds, the
repayment obligations of the Agency under the Original Reimbursement Agreements in
the aggregate amount of the prepayment became due and payable.
In 1997, the Agency did not have sufficient surplus revenues to pay the outstanding
amount due under the Original Reimbursement Agreements. Consequently and
concurrent with the issuance of the 1997 Bonds, the Agency and City amended and
restated the Original Reimbursement Agreements (the "Amended and Restated
Reimbursement Agreements ") in their entirety in order to obligate the Agency to
reimburse the City, from tax increment revenues, the City's 1997 Lease Payments used
to pay debt service on the 1997 Bonds.
As the City's economic situation stabilized and interest rates lowered, the LERA took
advantage of an opportunity to refund the 1997 bonds in 2000 achieving significant cost
savings under the variable interest rates then available. Those bonds, known as the
Variable Rate Revenue Refunding Bonds, 2000 Series A (Public Facilities Project) in the
aggregate amount of $15,660,000 (the "2000 Bonds ") were used to refund the 1997
Bonds. The lease payment (the "2000 Lease Payment ") under a Lease Agreement
between the City and the LERA, dated as of July 1, 2000 (the "2000 Lease
Agreement "), secures the 2000 Bonds.
The Agency's obligations to reimburse the City from tax increment revenues under the
Amended and Restated Reimbursement Agreements continued in connection with the
2000 Bonds and 2000 Lease Agreement. The City, the Agency and the LERA
benefitted by reduced payment obligations resulting from historically low interest rates
under the variable rate 2000 Bonds, the 2000 Lease Agreement and the Amended and
Restated Reimbursement Agreements.
AGENDA
ITEM 3

First Amendment to Consolidated Amended and Restated Reimbursement Agreement
June 25, 2013
In order to clarify and consolidate into a single document the Agency's ongoing
obligation to reimburse the City for the payments under the 2000 Lease Agreement
securing debt service, the Agency and the City entered into that certain Consolidated
Amended and Restated Reimbursement Agreement, dated as of March 1, 2011 (the
"Consolidated Reimbursement Agreement "). The pledge of tax increment under the
Consolidated Reimbursement Agreement constitutes an "enforceable obligation" under
the Dissolution Act and has been listed on the Successor Agency's Recognized
Obligation Payment Schedules ( "ROPS ") approved by the Oversight Board and the
Department of Finance.
Discussion
Payments of principal and interest (but not any premium) on the 2000 Bonds are
supported by an irrevocable direct -pay letter of credit (the "Letter of Credit ") issued by
Union Bank of California, N.A. Union Bank has notified the LERA of its intent not to
renew the Letter of Credit upon its expiration on August 8, 2013. The expiration of the
Letter of Credit will result in the conversion of the 2000 Bonds to variable rate "bank
bonds" bearing interest at a rate currently estimated at 6.5 %. Current debt service
payments on the 2000 Bonds may increase from approximately $704,000 annually to as
much as $1,420,000 annually depending on the interest rate environment.
The City's finance team has explored every available option to renew the Letter of
Credit by Union Bank. However, Union Bank has discontinued its practice of providing
letters of credit as part of a company -wide policy and would make no exception.
Multiple efforts to secure a similar letter of credit from another financial institution were
unsuccessful.
As a result, the City and the LERA are faced with two choices: continue to pay the debt
service on the 2000 Bonds at a potentially much higher interest rate subject to market
swings or refund the 2000 Bonds with refunding bonds at a fixed interest rate.
In order to mitigate the higher payments, the City and the LERA will be presented with
the proposed refunding of the 2000 Bonds and the 2000 Lease Agreement whereby the
LERA will issue Lease Revenue Refunding Bonds (Public Facilities Project) Series 2013
(the "2013 Bonds "), which 2013 Bonds will be secured by payments payable by the City
under a Lease Agreement (the "2013 Lease Agreement ") by and between the City and
the LERA. Although the 2013 Bonds and 2013 Lease Agreement will increase annual
payment obligations over the historically low variable rate payments in recent years,
payments will be significantly less than the bank bond rate that would be triggered by
the expiration of the Letter of Credit and will guard against interest rate spikes thereby
providing certainty. The ability to attain this financial certainty is nonetheless contingent
upon the ongoing obligation of the Successor Agency to reimburse the City under an
amendment to the Consolidated Reimbursement Agreement.
AGENDA ITEM 3 Page 3
First Amendment to Consolidated Amended and Restated Reimbursement Agreement
June 25, 2013
Consequently, the City's and the LERA's approval of the issuance of the 2013 Bonds
and entry into the 2013 Lease Agreement is contingent upon the effectiveness of an
amendment to the Consolidated Reimbursement Agreement incorporating the 2013
Bonds. In recognition of the pending conversion of the 2000 Bonds to bank bonds and
anticipated refunding, the ROPS 13 -14A for the period July 1, 2013 -- December 31,
2013 incorporated the Successor Agency's best estimate of its payment obligations
under the Consolidated Reimbursement Agreement based on the projected refunding of
the 2000 Bonds at a fixed rate. The annual obligation was estimated at $1,200,000 with
an estimated payment of $600,000 due for the July 1 — December 31, 2013 period.
The proposed amendment to the Consolidated Reimbursement Agreement will reduce
reimbursement payments by the Successor Agency to the City compared to the
projected payments due under the 2000 Bonds if not refunded. The savings will allow a
greater portion of the Successor Agency's Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Funds to
be paid to the taxing entities. The proposed amendment may also provide certainty to
the Successor Agency in the dissolution process by incorporating the obligations under
the fixed rate 2013 Bonds. Without the amendment, the Successor Agency may be
required to make higher payments resulting from the conversion of the 2000 Bonds to
bank bonds with the added uncertainty of interest rate fluctuations.
Health & Safety Code Section 34177.5(a)(3) permits the amendment of an existing
enforceable obligation (e.g. the Consolidated Reimbursement Agreement) under which
the Successor Agency is obligated to reimburse the City for the payment of debt service
on a bond, or to pay all or a portion of the debt service on the bond to provide savings to
the Successor Agency, provided that certain conditions are met. Those conditions are
as follows: (A) the enforceable obligation must be amended in connection with a
refunding of the bonds so that the enforceable obligation will apply to the refunding
bonds, (B) the total interest cost to maturity on the refunding bonds plus the principal
amount of the refunding bonds shall not exceed the total remaining interest cost to
maturity on the bonds plus the remaining principal of the bonds, and (C) the principal
amount of the refunding bonds shall not exceed the amount required to defease the
refunded bonds, to establish customary debt service reserves and to pay related costs
of issuance.
The requirements of Health & Safety Code Section 34177.5(a)(3) will be met in
connection with the proposed amendment to the Consolidated Reimbursement
Agreement because (i) the amendment to the Consolidated Reimbursement Agreement
is being entered into concurrently with the refunding of the bonds and will apply to the
2013 Bonds (the City's approval of the issuance of the 2013 Bonds is contingent upon
the effectiveness of the First Amendment to the Consolidated Amended and Restated
Reimbursement Agreement), (ii) the total interest cost to maturity on the 2013 Bonds
plus the principal amount of the 2013 Bonds ($20,531,298.62) does not exceed the total
remaining interest cost to maturity on the 2000 Bonds plus the remaining principal of the
2000 Bonds (estimated at $21,819,375 at projected bank bond rate of 6.5% per
annum), and (iii) the principal amount of the 2013 Bonds ($14,465,000) does not
AGENDA ITEM 3 Page 4
First Amendment to Consolidated Amended and Restated Reimbursement Agreement
June 25, 2013
exceed the amount required to defease the 2000 Bonds, establish customary debt
service reserves and pay related costs of issuance ($14,465,000).
Further, LERA and the City made diligent efforts to ensure that the lowest long -term
cost financing was obtained, does not provide for any "bullets" in the way of a balloon
payment, "spikes" representing a sudden increase or decrease in payments, and does
not use a variable interest rate.
Pursuant to Health & Safety Code Section 34177, the pledge set forth in the
amendment of the Consolidated Amended and Restated Reimbursement Agreement,
because it is made in connection with the issuance of the 2013 Bonds, has the same
lien priority as the pledge in the Consolidated Amended and Restated Reimbursement
Agreement prior to its amendment and is valid, binding, and enforceable against the
Successor Agency in accordance with its terms.
Unless and until the proposed First Amendment to Consolidated Amended and
Restated Reimbursement Agreement becomes effective, the existing pledge set forth in
the Consolidated Amended and Restated Reimbursement Agreement made in
connection with the issuance of the 2000 Bonds will continue as a valid, binding, and
enforceable obligation of the Successor Agency, and will require reimbursement
payments to the City at the potentially higher bank bond variable rate of interest that
would be triggered by the expiration of the Letter of Credit. The proposed First
Amendment to Consolidated Amended and Restated Reimbursement Agreement will
result in a reduction in the Successor Agency's reimbursement obligation equal to the
potential debt service savings of approximately $220,000 per year for the life of the
2013 Bonds, which will mature in 2032.
Recommendation
It is recommended that the Oversight Board adopt Resolution No. OB -2013 -006
approving the First Amendment to Consolidated Amended and Restated
Reimbursement Agreement (LERA Bonds).

WHEREAS, on June 29, 2011, Assembly Bill No. 26 ( "AB X1 26 ") was enacted
as Chapter 5, Statutes of 2011, together with a companion bill, Assembly Bill No. 27
CAB X1 27 "). A lawsuit was brought in the California Supreme Court, California
Redevelopment Association, et al. v. Matosantos, et al., 53 Cal. 41h 231 (Cal. Dec. 29,
2011), challenging the constitutionality of AB X1 26 and AB X1 27. The California
Supreme Court largely upheld AB X1 26, invalidated AB X1 27, and held that AB X1 26
may be severed from AB X1 27 and enforced independently. As a result of AB X1 26
and the decision of the California Supreme Court in the California Redevelopment
Association case, as of February 1, 2012, all redevelopment agencies in the State were
dissolved, including the Agency, and successor agencies were designated as
successor -in- interest entities to the former redevelopment agencies to expeditiously
wind down the affairs of the former redevelopment agencies; and
WHEREAS, the primary provisions enacted by AB X1 26 relating to the
dissolution and wind down of former redevelopment agency affairs are Parts 1.8

time to time, the "Dissolution Act "); and
WHEREAS, on January 10, 2012, pursuant to Resolution No. 2012 -001 and
Sections 34171 Q) and 34173 of the Dissolution Act, the City Council of the City elected
to serve as successor agency to the Agency and, on February 14, 2012, the City
Council held its first meeting as the governing body of the Successor Agency.
Subdivision (g) of Section 34173 of the Dissolution Act, added by AB 1484, expressly
affirms that the Successor Agency is a separate public entity from the City, that the two
entities shall not merge, and that the liabilities of the Agency will not be transferred to
the City nor will the assets of the Agency become assets of the City; and
WHEREAS, as a result of the foregoing, the Successor Agency succeeded to the
rights and obligations of the Agency, including, without limitation, all rights and
obligations of the Agency under the Consolidated Reimbursement Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the Consolidated Reimbursement Agreement constitutes an
"enforceable obligation" under the Dissolution Act and has been listed on the Successor
Agency's Recognized Obligation Payment Schedules ( "ROPS ") approved by the
Oversight Board and the Department of Finance in accordance with the Dissolution Act;
and
WHEREAS, payments of principal and interest (but not any premium) on the
2000 Bonds are supported by an irrevocable direct -pay letter of credit (the "Letter of
Credit ") issued by Union Bank of California, N.A. (the "Credit Entity ") in an amount equal
to the principal amount of the 2000 Bonds outstanding plus 56 days of interest
calculated based on an assumed rate of 12 %; and

WHEREAS, the Credit Entity has notified the Recreation Authority of its intent not
to renew the Letter of Credit upon its expiration on August 8, 2013; and
WHEREAS, such expiration will result in the conversion of the 2000 Bonds to
"bank bonds" bearing variable interest at a rate currently estimated at 6.5 %; and
WHEREAS, the interest rate change may significantly increase debt service
payments on the 2000 Bonds from approximately $704,000 annually to as much as
$1,420,000 annually, depending on the interest rate environment; and
WHEREAS, the Successor Agency desires that the City refund the 2000 Bonds
and amend the Consolidated Reimbursement Agreement so that the payments under
the Consolidated Reimbursement Agreement are payable at a fixed rate of interest; and
WHEREAS, in recognition of the pending conversion of the 2000 Bonds to bank
bonds and anticipated refunding, the Successor Agency incorporated into its ROPS 13-
14A for the period of July 1, 2013 - December 31, 2013 its best estimate of its
repayment obligations under the Consolidated Reimbursement Agreement based on a
projected refunding of the 2000 Bonds at a fixed rate; and
WHEREAS, without the refunding of the 2000 Bonds and a corresponding
amendment to the Consolidated Reimbursement Agreement, the Successor Agency will
be obligated to make payments under the existing Consolidated Reimbursement
Agreement at the amounts resulting from the potentially higher, variable bank bond rate;
and
WHEREAS, the City and the Recreation Authority consider the approval of the
refunding of the 2000 Bonds and the 2000 Lease Agreement whereby the Recreation
Authority will issue Lease Revenue Refunding Bonds (Public Facilities Project) Series
2013 (the "2013 Bonds "), which 2013 Bonds will be secured by lease payments payable
by the City under a Lease Agreement (the "2013 Lease Agreement ") by and between
the City and the Recreation Authority; and
WHEREAS, the 2013 Lease Agreement will require lease payments of
approximately $1,200,000 annually based upon a fixed interest rate which will be less
than the estimated $1,420,000 based upon the bank bond rate that would be triggered
by the expiration of the Letter of Credit and subject to interest rate fluctuations; and
WHEREAS, Section 9 of the Consolidated Reimbursement Agreement
contemplates the refunding, refinancing or otherwise restructuring of the obligations of
the City under the 2000 Lease Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the City's and the Recreation Authority's approval of the issuance of
the 2013 Bonds and entry into the 2013 Lease Agreement is or will be contingent upon
the effectiveness of an amendment to the Consolidated Reimbursement Agreement
incorporating the 2013 Bonds and reimbursement of the 2013 Lease Payments; and

WHEREAS, the Dissolution Act governs the Successor Agency's actions with
respect to the amendment of the Consolidated Reimbursement Agreement; and
WHEREAS, Health & Safety Code Section 34177.5(a)(3) permits the amendment
of an existing enforceable obligation under which the successor agency is obligated to
reimburse the City for the payment of debt service on a bond or other obligation of the
City, or to pay all or a portion of the debt service on the bond or other obligation of the
City to provide savings to the successor agency, provided that (A) the enforceable
obligation is amended in connection with a refunding of the bonds or other obligations of
the City so that the enforceable obligation will apply to the refunding bonds or other
refunding indebtedness of the City, (B) the total interest cost to maturity on the
refunding bonds or other indebtedness plus the principal amount of the refunding bonds
or other indebtedness shall not exceed the total remaining interest cost to maturity on
the bonds or other indebtedness to be refunded plus the remaining principal of the
bonds or other indebtedness to be refunded, and (C) the principal amount of the
refunding bonds or other indebtedness shall not exceed the amount required to defease
the refunded bonds or other indebtedness, to establish customary debt service reserves
and to pay related costs of issuance; and
WHEREAS, the Consolidated Reimbursement Agreement constitutes an
enforceable obligation under which the Successor Agency is obligated to reimburse the
City for the payment of debt service on bonds of the City, or to pay all or a portion of the
debt service on the bonds of the City; and
WHEREAS, the requirements of Health & Safety Code Section 34177.5(a)(3) will
be met in connection with the certain amendments to the Consolidated Reimbursement
Agreement that are necessary to accommodate the refunding of the 2000 Bonds and
the 2000 Lease Agreement because (1) the amendment to the Consolidated
Reimbursement Agreement will be entered into concurrently with the refunding of the
bonds and will apply to the 2013 Bonds, (ii) the total interest cost to maturity on the
2013 Bonds plus the principal amount of the 2013 Bonds does not exceed the total
remaining interest cost to maturity on the 2000 Bonds plus the remaining principal of the
2000 Bonds, and (iii) the principal amount of the 2013 Bonds does not exceed the
amount required to defease the 2000 Bonds, establish customary debt service reserves
and pay related costs of issuance; and
WHEREAS, the City made diligent efforts to ensure that the lowest long -term

payments under the Lease Agreement, dated as of July 1, 2000 (the "2000 Lease Agreement"),
by and between the City and the Recreation Authority, the payment of which secures the 2000
Bonds; and
WHEREAS, the Agency and the City desired to consolidate, amend and restate
the Amended and Restated Reimbursement Agreements in their entirety in order to clarify and

as Chapter 5, Statutes of 2011, together with a companion bill, Assembly Bill No. 27 ( "AB X
27 "). A lawsuit was brought in the California Supreme Court, California Redevelopment
Association, et al. v. Matosantos, et al., 53 Cal. 0 231 (Cal. Dec. 29, 2011), challenging the
constitutionality of AB XI 26 and AB XI 27. The California Supreme Court largely upheld AB
XI 26, invalidated AB XI 27, and held that AB XI 26 may be severed from AB X1 27 and
enforced independently. As a result of AB XI 26 and the decision of the California Supreme
Court in the California Redevelopment Association case, as of February 1, 2012, all
redevelopment agencies in the State were dissolved, including the Agency, and successor
agencies were designated as successor -in- interest entities to the former redevelopment agencies
to expeditiously wind down the affairs of the former redevelopment agencies; and
3
WHEREAS, the primary provisions enacted by AB XI 26 relating to the
dissolution and wind down of former redevelopment agency affairs are Parts 1.8 (commencing
with Section 34161) and 1.85 (commencing with Section 34170) of Division 24 of the Health
and Safety Code of the State, as amended on June 27, 2012 by Assembly Bill No. 1484, enacted
as Chapter 26, Statutes of 2012 (as amended from time to time, the "Dissolution Act "); and
WHEREAS, on January 10, 2012, pursuant to Resolution No. 2012 -001 and
Sections 341710) and 34173 of the Dissolution Act, the City Council of the City elected to serve
as successor agency to the Agency and, on February 14, 2012, the City Council held its first
meeting as the governing body of the Successor Agency. Subdivision (g) of Section 34173 of
the Dissolution Act, added by AB 1484, expressly affirms that the Successor Agency is a
separate public entity from the City, that the two entities shall not merge, and that the liabilities
of the Agency will not be transferred to the City nor will the assets of the Agency become assets
of the City; and
WHEREAS, as a result of the foregoing, the Successor Agency succeeded to the
rights and obligations of the Agency, including, without limitation, all rights and obligations of
the Agency under the Consolidated Reimbursement Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the Consolidated Reimbursement Agreement constitutes an
"enforceable obligation" under the Dissolution Act and has been listed on the Successor
Agency's Recognized Obligation Payment Schedules C"ROPS ") approved by the Oversight
Board and the Department of Finance in accordance with the Dissolution Act; and
WHEREAS, payments of principal and interest (but not any premium) on the
2000 Bonds are supported by an irrevocable direct -pay letter of credit (the "Letter of Credit ")

principal amount of the 2000 Bonds outstanding plus 56 days of interest calculated based on an
assumed rate of 12 %; and
WHEREAS, the Credit Entity has notified the Recreation Authority of its intent
not to renew the Letter of Credit upon its expiration on August 8, 2013; and
WHEREAS, such expiration will result in the conversion of the 2000 Bonds to
"bank bonds" bearing variable interest at a rate currently estimated at 6.5 %; and
WHEREAS, the interest rate change may significantly increase debt service
payments on the 2000 Bonds from approximately $704,000 annually to as much as $1,420,000
annually, depending on the interest rate environment; and
WHEREAS, Successor Agency desires that the City refund the 2000 Bonds and
amend the Consolidated Reimbursement Agreement so that the payments under the Consolidated
Reimbursement Agreement are payable at a fixed rate of interest; and
WHEREAS, in recognition of the pending conversion of the 2000 Bonds to bank
bonds and anticipated refunding, the Successor Agency incorporated into its ROPS 13 -14A for
the period July 1, 2013 - December 31, 2013 its best estimate of its payment obligations under
in
the Consolidated Reimbursement Agreement based on a projected refunding of the 2000 Bonds
at a fixed rate; and
WHEREAS, without the refunding of the 2000 Bonds and a corresponding
amendment to the Consolidated Reimbursement Agreement, the Successor Agency will be
obligated to make payments under the existing Consolidated Reimbursement Agreement at the
amounts resulting from the potentially higher, variable bank bond rate; and
WHEREAS, as a result of the foregoing, the City and the Recreation Authority
have approved or will approve the refunding of the 2000 Bonds and the 2000 Lease Agreement
whereby the Recreation Authority will issue its Lease Revenue Refunding Bonds (Public
Facilities Project) Series 2013 (the "2013 Bonds "), which 2013 Bonds will be secured by lease
payments payable by the City under a Lease Agreement (the "2013 Lease Agreement ") by and
between the City and the Recreation Authority; and
WHEREAS, the 2013 Lease Agreement will require lease payments of
approximately $1,200,000 annually based upon a fixed interest rate which will be less than the
estimated $1,420,000 based upon the bank bond rate that would be triggered by the expiration of
the Letter of Credit and subject to interest rate fluctuations; and
WHEREAS, Section 9 of the Consolidated Reimbursement Agreement
contemplates the refunding, refinancing or otherwise restructuring of the obligations of the City
under the 2000 Lease Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the City's and the Recreation Authority's approval of the issuance of
the 2013 Bonds and entry into the 2013 Lease Agreement is contingent upon the effectiveness of
an amendment to the Consolidated Reimbursement Agreement incorporating the 2013 Bonds
and reimbursement of the 2013 Lease Payments; and
WHEREAS, the Dissolution Act governs the Successor Agency's actions with
respect to the amendment of the Consolidated Reimbursement Agreement; and
WHEREAS, Health & Safety Code Section 34177.5(a)(3) permits the amendment
of an existing enforceable obligation under which the successor agency is obligated to reimburse
the City for the payment of debt service on a bond or other obligation of the City, or to pay all or
a portion of the debt service on the bond or other obligation of the City to provide savings to the
successor agency, provided that (A) the enforceable obligation is amended in connection with a
refunding of the bonds or other obligations of the City so that the enforceable obligation will
apply to the refunding bonds or other refunding indebtedness of the City, (B) the total interest
cost to maturity on the refunding bonds or other indebtedness plus the principal amount of the
refunding bonds or other indebtedness shall not exceed the total remaining interest cost to
maturity on the bonds or other indebtedness to be refunded plus the remaining principal of the
bonds or other indebtedness to be refunded, and (C) the principal amount of the refunding bonds
or other indebtedness shall not exceed the amount required to defease the refunded bonds or
other indebtedness, to establish customary debt service reserves and to pay related costs of
issuance; and
WHEREAS, the Consolidated Reimbursement Agreement constitutes an existing
enforceable obligation under which the Successor Agency is obligated to reimburse the City for
the payment of debt service on bonds of the City, or to pay all or a portion of the debt service on
the bonds of the City; and
WHEREAS, the requirements of Health & Safety Code Section 34177.5(a)(3)
will be met in connection with the certain amendments to the Consolidated Reimbursement
Agreement that are necessary to accommodate the refunding of the 2000 Bonds and the 2000
Lease Agreement because (i) the amendment to the Consolidated Reimbursement Agreement is
being entered into concurrently with the refunding of the bonds and will apply to the 2013
Bonds, (ii) the total interest cost to maturity on the 2013 Bonds plus the principal amount of the
2013 Bonds does not exceed the total remaining interest cost to maturity on the 2000 Bonds plus
the remaining principal of the 2000 Bonds, and (iii) the principal amount of the 2013 Bonds does
not exceed the amount required to defease the 2000 Bonds, establish customary debt service
reserves and pay related costs of issuance; and
WHEREAS, in accordance with the Dissolution Act, the City made diligent
efforts to ensure that the lowest long -term cost financing was obtained and does not provide for
any bullets or spikes and does not use variable rates. Further, the City made use of an
independent financial advisor in developing financing proposals and will make the work
products of the financial advisor available upon request; and
WHEREAS, in accordance with the Dissolution Act, the pledge set forth in the
amendment of the Consolidated Reimbursement Agreement, because it is made in connection
with the execution and issuance of the 2013 Bonds, has the same lien priority as the pledge in the
Consolidated Reimbursement Agreement prior to its amendment and is valid, binding, and
enforceable against the Successor Agency in accordance with its terms.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Successor Agency and the City agree as follows:

the Letter of Credit and subject to interest rate fluctuations; and
WHEREAS, Section 9 of the Consolidated Reimbursement Agreement
contemplates the refunding, refinancing or otherwise restructuring of the obligations of the City
under the 2000 'Lease Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the City's and the Recreation Authority's approval of the issuance of
The 2013 Bonds and entry into the 2013 Lease Agreement is contingent upon the effectiveness of

a portion of the debt service on the bond or other obligation of the City to provide savings to the
successor agency, provided that (A) the enforceable obligation is amended in connection with a
refunding of the bonds or other obligations of the City so that the enforceable obligation will
apply to the refunding bonds or other refunding indebtedness of the City, (13) the total interest
cost to maturity on the refunding bonds or other indebtedness plus the principal amount of the
refunding bonds or other indebtedness shall not exceed the total remaining interest cost to

the bonds of the City; and

will be met in connection with the certain amendments to the Consolidated Reimbursement
Agreement that are necessary to accommodate the refunding of the 2000 Bonds and the 2000
Lease Agreement because (i) the amendment to the Consolidated Reimbursement Agreement is
being entered into concurrently with the refunding of the bonds and will apply to the 2013
Bonds, (ii) the total interest cost to maturity on the 2013 Bonds plus the principal amount of the
2013 Bonds does not exceed the total remaining interest cost to maturity on the 2000 Bonds plus
the remaining principal of the 2000 Bonds, and (iii) the principal amount of the 2013 Bonds does
not exceed the amount required to del'ease the 2000 Bonds, establish customary debt service
reserves and pay related costs of issuance; and
WHEREAS, in accordance with the Dissolution Act, the City made diligent
efforts to ensure that the lowest long -term cost financing was obtained and does not provide for
any bullets or spikes and does not use variable rates. Further, the City made use of an
independent financial advisor in developing financing proposals and will make the work
products of the financial advisor available upon request; and
WHEREAS, in accordance with the Dissolution Act, the pledge set forth in the
amendment of the Consolidated Reimbursement Agreement, because it is made in connection
with the execution and issuance of the 2013 Bonds, has the same lien priority as the pledge in the

enforceable against the Successor Agency in accordance with its terms.
