Background and Discussion The developer, SPT- AREP III Tuscany Associates, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Developer”), owns property containing 335 proposed residential lots within the City. Such property is located to the south of Highway 74 at Greenwald Avenue and Little Valley Road, in the northeastern part of the City. The Developer has requested that the City form a Community Facilities District (“CFD” or “District”) and designate two improvement areas therein on such property to finance the costs of certain public improvements through the levy of a special tax and the issuance of bonds in an amount not to exceed $14,000,000 for Improvement Area No. 1 and $10,000,000 for Improvement Area No. 2. The Developer has requested that: (1) the area shown in Attachment A of Resolution No. 2021- 25 adopted by the City Council on March 23, 2021 (the “Resolution of Intention”) be the boundaries of the CFD and Improvement Area Nos. 1 and 2 therein, (2) special taxes be levied within Improvement Area No. 1 in accordance with the rate and method of apportionment of special taxes as described in Attachment C to the Resolution of Intention; and (3) special taxes be levied within Improvement Area No. 2 in accordance with the rate and method of apportionment of special taxes as described in Attachment D to the Resolution of Intention. CFD 2021-1 (Tuscany Valley/Crest) Formation Page 2 of 3 Such rate and method of apportionment of special taxes are referred to herein each as an “RMA.” The Resolution of Intention called for a public hearing to be held on April 27, 2021. The purpose of the public hearing is for the City Council to formally consider the approval of the formation of the CFD, the designation of Improvement Area Nos. 1 and 2 therein and the approval of the levy of the special taxes within Improvement Area Nos. 1 and 2. Notice of the public hearing was published in the Press Enterprise and mailed to the property owner in accordance with the Mello-Roos Act. In connection with the public hearing, Spicer Consulting Group has prepared a CFD Public Hearing Report which describes and analyzes the facilities to be financed by the CFD and the estimated costs of such facilities. Following the close of the public hearing, the City Council will be asked to adopt the Resolution of Formation and the Resolution Determining the Necessity to Incur Debt which, together, approves the formation of the CFD and the designation of the Improvement Areas therein, the levy of the special taxes in each Improvement Area in accordance with the applicable RMA and determines the necessity for the CFD to issue bonds in an amount not to exceed $14,000,000 for Improvement Area No. 1 and $10,000,000 for Improvement Area No. 2. Such resolutions call for elections to submit to the qualified voters in Improvement Area No. 1 and in Improvement Area No. 2 ballot measures on the approval of the special taxes, the issuance of the bonds for each Improvement Area and an appropriations limit for the CFD. In addition, the Resolution of Formation, approves the execution and delivery of the following agreements in the forms presented to the City Council: (i) the Acquisition, Construction and Funding Agreement with the Developer (the “Funding Agreement”); and (ii) the Joint Community Facilities Agreement with the Developer and Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District (the “JCFA”). The Funding Agreement sets forth the terms, among others, pursuant to which the CFD will finance improvements to be constructed by the Developer and acquired by the City or to be constructed by the City. In accordance with the Mello-Roos Act, the approval and execution of the JCFA allows for the CFD to finance improvements to be owned and operated by Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District which benefit the development within the District. On file with the City Clerk is a Certificate of the Registrar of Voters of Riverside County certifying that there are no registered voters residing within the boundaries of the CFD. Accordingly, under the Mello-Roos Act, only property owners owning land in each Improvement Area are eligible to vote at the election for such Improvement Area with each owner having one vote for each acre (or portion thereof) that they own within such Improvement Area. The Developer has executed a consent and waiver of certain election procedures with respect to the election for each Improvement Area, including certain timing requirements with respect to the elections, and the City Clerk has executed certificates concurring to the holding of the elections on this date, all in accordance with the Mello-Roos Act. Accordingly, if the City Council approves the Resolution of Formation and the Resolution Determining the Necessity to Incur Debt, the City Clerk will conduct the elections. The City Clerk will announce the elections results and the City Council will be asked to adopt the Resolution Certifying the Election Results. Based on upon certification that 2/3rds of the votes cast are in favor of the propositions voted upon in each Improvement Area, the Resolution Certifying the Election Results directs the City Clerk to record a notice of special tax lien on the property within each Improvement Area. The City Council will then be asked to introduce the Ordinance authorizing the levy of the special tax within each Improvement Area in accordance with the applicable Rate and Method. CFD 2021-1 (Tuscany Valley/Crest) Formation Page 3 of 3 Fiscal Impact The District will be required to annually levy special taxes on all of the taxable property within each Improvement Area in order to pay for the costs of facilities, debt service on bonds and administration of the CFD. Any bonds issued by the District are NOT obligations of the City and will be secured solely by the special taxes levied in the Improvement Area relating to such bonds. The Developer has made a deposit to pay for the costs of forming the CFD. The Funding Agreement provides the terms under which the Developer may be reimbursed for these costs if and when bonds are issued for CFD. Exhibits A – Res. Establishing of Formation B – Res.

The boundaries of Community Facilities District No. 2021-1 and each of the Improvement Areas are established as shown on the map designated “Proposed Boundary Map of Community Facilities District No. 2021-1 (Tuscany Valley/Crest) City of Lake Elsinore, County of Riverside, State of California”, which map is on file in the office of the City Clerk and was recorded pursuant to Sections 3111 and 3113 of the Streets and Highways Code in the County Book of Maps of Assessment and Community Facilities Districts in the Assessor-County Clerk- Recorder’s office of the County of Riverside in Book No. 86 Page No. 53 on April 1, 2021 as Instrument No. 2021-0204162. Section 4. The types of Facilities and Incidental Expenses authorized to be provided for Community Facilities District No. 2021-1 are those set forth in Attachment A attached hereto. The estimated cost of the Facilities and Incidental Expenses to be financed is set forth in the Engineer’s Report, which estimates may change as the Facilities are designed and bid for construction and acquisition, as applicable. The City is authorized by the Act to contribute revenue to, or to construct or acquire the Facilities, all in accordance with the Act. The City Council finds and determines that the proposed Facilities are necessary to meet the increased demand that will be placed upon local agencies and public infrastructure as a result of new development within the District and that the Facilities to be financed, including those to be financed pursuant to the JCFA to be entered into with the Water District, benefit residents of the City and the future residents of the District. Section 5. Except where funds are otherwise available, it is the intention of this City Council, subject to the approval of the eligible voters within each Improvement Area, to levy annually a Special Tax at the rates set forth in the Improvement Area No. 1 Rate and Method and the Improvement Area No. 2 Rate and Method, on all non-exempt property within Improvement Area No. 1 and Improvement Area No. 2, respectively, sufficient to pay for (i) the portion of the Facilities and Incidental Expenses to be financed by such Improvement Area; and (ii) the establishment and replenishment of reserve funds, any remarketing, credit enhancement and liquidity facility fees and other expenses of the type permitted by Section 53345.3 of the Act.

The Improvement Area No. 1 Rate and Method is described in detail in Attachment C to Resolution No. 2021-25 and is incorporated herein by this reference, and the City Council hereby finds that the Improvement Area No. 1 Rate and Method contains sufficient detail to allow each landowner within Improvement Area No. 1 to estimate the maximum amount that may be levied against each parcel.

As described in greater detail in the Engineer’s Report, which is incorporated by reference herein, the Special Tax to be levied within the respective Improvement Areas is based on the expected demand that each parcel of real property within the respective Improvement Areas will place on the Facilities and on the benefit that each parcel will derive from the right to access the Facilities and, accordingly, is hereby determined to be reasonable.

In the event that a portion of the property within Improvement Area No. 2 shall become for any reason exempt, wholly or partially, from the levy of the Special Tax specified in the Improvement Area No. 2 Rate and Method, or in the event of delinquencies in the payment of Special Taxes levied, the City Council shall, on behalf of Community Facilities District No. 2021-1, increase the levy to the extent necessary and permitted by law and these proceedings upon the remaining property within Improvement Area No. 2 which is not exempt or delinquent in order to yield the required debt service payments on any outstanding bonds issued by the District for Improvement Area No. 2, or to prevent the District f rom defaulting on any other obligations or liabilities payable from Improvement Area No. 2 special taxes; provided, however, under no CC Res. No. 2021-_____ Page 5 of 10 circumstances will the Special Tax levied against any parcel in Improvement Area No. 2 used for private residential uses be increased as a consequence of delinquency or default by the owner or owners of any other parcel or parcels within Improvement Area No. 2 by more than ten percent above the amount that would have been levied in that fiscal year had there never been any such delinquencies or defaults. The amount of the Special Tax for parcels within Improvement Area No. 2 will be set in accordance with the Improvement Area No. 2 Rate and Method. The obligation to pay Special Taxes may be prepaid only as set forth in Section G of the Improvement Area No. 2 Rate and Method. Section 7. Upon recordation of a notice of special tax lien for each of the Improvement Areas pursuant to Section 3114.5 of the Streets and Highways Code, a continuing lien to secure each levy of the Special Tax shall attach to all non-exempt real property in each Improvement Area and this lien shall continue in force and effect until the Special Tax obligation is prepaid and permanently satisfied and the lien canceled with respect to such Improvement Area in accordance with law or until collection of the Special Tax for such Improvement Area by the District ceases.

An owner of an Assessor's Parcel intending to prepay the Maximum Special Tax obligation for such Assessor's Parcel shall provide the CFD Administrator with written notice of intent to prepay, and within 5 business days of receipt of such notice, the CFD Administrator shall notify such owner of the amount of the non-refundable deposit determined to cover the cost to be incurred by the CFD in calculating the Prepayment Amount (as defined below) for the Assessor's Parcel. Within 15 days of receipt of such non-refundable deposit, the CFD Administrator shall notify such owner of the Prepayment Amount for the Assessor's Parcel. Prepayment must be made not less than 60 days prior to the redemption date for any Bonds to be redeemed with the proceeds of such prepaid Special Taxes. The Prepayment Amount (defined below) shall be calculated as follows (capitalized terms are defined below): Bond Redemption Amount plus Redemption Premium plus Future Facilities Amount plus Defeasance Amount plus Administrative Fees and Expenses less Reserve Fund Credit Equals: Prepayment Amount The Prepayment Amount shall be determined as of the proposed prepayment date as follows: City of Lake Elsinore Community Facilities District No. 2021-1(Tuscany Valley/Crest) Page 9 1. Confirm that no Special Tax delinquencies apply to such Assessor's Parcel. 2. For an Assessor's Parcel of Developed Property, compute the Maximum Special Tax for the Assessor's Parcel. For an Assessor's Parcel of Approved Property or Undeveloped Property for which a Building Permit has been issued, compute the Maximum Special Tax for the Assessor's Parcel as though it was already designated as Developed Property, based upon the Building Permit which has been issued for the Assessor's Parcel. For an Assessor's Parcel of Approved Property or Undeveloped Property for which a Building Permit has not been issued, Public Property, Property Owner's Association Property, or Provisional Undeveloped Property to be prepaid compute the Maximum Special Tax for the Assessor's Parcel. 3. Divide the Maximum Special Tax derived pursuant to paragraph 2 by the total amount of Special Taxes that could be levied at the Maximum Special Tax at build out of all Assessor's Parcels of Taxable Property based on the applicable Maximum Special Tax for Assessor's Parcels of Developed Property not including any Assessor's Parcels for which the Special Tax obligation has been previously prepaid. 4. Multiply the quotient derived pursuant to paragraph 3 by the principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds to determine the amount of Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the Prepayment Amount (the "Bond Redemption Amount"). 5. Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount by the applicable redemption premium, if any, on the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed (the "Redemption Premium"). 6. Determine the Future Facilities Costs. 7. Multiply the quotient derived pursuant to paragraph 3 by the amount determined pursuant to paragraph 6 to determine the amount of Future Facilities Costs for the Assessor's Parcel (the "Future Facilities Amount"). 8. Determine the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Redemption Amount from the first bond interest and/or principal payment date following the current Fiscal Year until the earliest redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds on which Bonds can be redeemed from Special Tax prepayments. 9. Determine the Special Taxes levied on the Assessor's Parcel in the current Fiscal Year which have not yet been paid. 10. Determine the amount the CFD Administrator reasonably expects to derive from the investment of the Bond Redemption Amount and the Redemption Premium from the date of prepayment until the redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the Prepayment Amount. 11. Add the amounts derived pursuant to paragraphs 8 and 9 and subtract the amount derived pursuant to paragraph 10 (the "Defeasance Amount"). 12. Verify the administrative fees and expenses of the CFD, including the cost of computation of the Prepayment Amount, the cost to invest the Prepayment Amount, the cost of redeeming the Outstanding Bonds, and the cost of recording notices to evidence the prepayment of the Maximum City of Lake Elsinore Community Facilities District No. 2021-1(Tuscany Valley/Crest) Page 10 Special Tax obligation for the Assessor's Parcel and the redemption of Outstanding Bonds (the "Administrative Fees and Expenses"). 13. The reserve fund credit (the "Reserve Fund Credit") shall equal the lesser of: (a) the expected reduction in the reserve requirement (as defined in the Indenture), if any, associated with the redemption of Outstanding Bonds as a result of the prepayment, or (b) the amount derived by subtracting the new reserve requirement (as defined in the Indenture) in effect after the redemption of Outstanding Bonds as a result of the prepayment from the balance in the reserve fund on the prepayment date, but in no event shall such amount be less than zero. 14. The Prepayment Amount is equal to the sum of the Bond Redemption Amount, the Redemption Premium, the Future Facilities Amount, the Defeasance Amount and the Administrative Fees and Expenses, less the Reserve Fund Credit. 15. From the Prepayment Amount, the Bond Redemption Amount, the Redemption Premium, and Defeasance Amount shall be deposited into the appropriate fund as established under the Indenture and be used to redeem Outstanding Bonds or make debt service payments. The Future Facilities Amount shall be deposited into the Construction Fund. The Administrative Fees and Expenses shall be retained by the CFD. The Prepayment Amount may be sufficient to redeem other than a $5,000 increment of Bonds. In such event, the increment above $5,000 or an integral multiple thereof will be retained in the appropriate fund established under the Indenture to be used with the next redemption from other Special Tax prepayments of Outstanding Bonds or to make debt service payments. As a result of the payment of the current Fiscal Year's Special Tax levy as determined pursuant to paragraph 9 above, the CFD Administrator shall remove the current Fiscal Year's Special Tax levy for the Assessor's Parcel from the County tax roll. With respect to any Assessor's Parcel for which the Maximum Special Tax obligation is prepaid, the City Council shall cause a suitable notice to be recorded in compliance with the Act, to indicate the prepayment of Maximum Special Tax obligation and the release of the Special Tax lien for the Assessor's Parcel, and the obligation to pay the Special Tax for such Assessor's Parcel shall cease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Special Tax prepayment shall be allowed unless the amount of Maximum Special Tax that may be levied on all Assessor's Parcels of Taxable Property after the proposed prepayment will be at least 1.1 times maximum annual debt service on the Bonds that will remain outstanding after the prepayment plus the estimated annual Administrative Expenses. Tenders of Bonds in prepayment of the Maximum Special Tax obligation may be accepted upon the terms and conditions established by the City Council pursuant to the Act. However, the use of Bond tenders shall only be allowed on a case-by-case basis as specifically approved by the City Council. 2. Prepayment in Part The Maximum Special Tax obligation for an Assessor's Parcel of Developed Property, Approved Property or Undeveloped Property may be partially prepaid. For purposes of determining the partial prepayment amount,the provisions of Section G.1 shall be modified as provided by the following formula: PP= ((PE—A) x F) +A City of Lake Elsinore Community Facilities District No. 2021-1(Tuscany Valley/Crest) Page 11 These terms have the following meaning: PP= Partial Prepayment Amount PE=the Prepayment Amount calculated according to Section G.1 F=the percent by which the owner of the Assessor's Parcel(s) is partially prepaying the Maximum Special Tax obligation A=the Administrative Fees and Expenses determined pursuant to Section G.1 The owner of an Assessor's Parcel who desires to partially prepay the Maximum Special Tax obligation for the Assessor's Parcel shall notify the CFD Administrator of(i) such owner's intent to partially prepay the Maximum Special Tax obligation, (ii) the percentage of the Maximum Special Tax obligation such owner wishes to prepay, and (iii) the company or agency that will be acting as the escrow agent, if any. Within 5 days of receipt of such notice, the CFD Administrator shall notify such property owner of the amount of the non-refundable deposit determined to cover the cost to be incurred by the CFD in calculating the amount of a partial prepayment. Within 15 business days of receipt of such non-refundable deposit, the CFD Administrator shall notify such owner of the amount of the Partial Prepayment Amount for the Assessor's Parcel. A Partial Prepayment Amount must be made not less than 60 days prior to the redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the proceeds of the Partial Prepayment Amount. With respect to any Assessor's Parcel for which the Maximum Special Tax obligation is partially prepaid, the CFD Administrator shall (i) distribute the Partial Prepayment Amount as provided in Paragraph 15 of Section G.1, and (ii) indicate in the records of the CFD that there has been a Partial Prepayment for the Assessor's Parcel and that a portion of the Maximum Special Tax obligation equal to the remaining percentage (1.00 - F) of the Maximum Special Tax obligation will continue to be levied on the Assessor's Parcel pursuant to Section E. H. TERMINATION OF SPECIAL TAX For each Fiscal Year that any Bonds are outstanding the Special Tax shall be levied on all Assessor's Parcels subject to the Special Tax. The Special Tax shall cease not later than the 2060-2061 Fiscal Year, however, Special Tax will cease to be levied in an earlier Fiscal Year if the CFD Administrator has determined (i) that all the required interest and principal payments on the CFD No. 2021-1 IA 2 Bonds have been paid; (ii) all authorized facilities of CFD No. 2021-1 IA 2 have been acquired and all reimbursements to the developer have been paid, (iii) no delinquent Special Tax remain uncollected and (iv) all other obligations of CFD No. 2021-1 IA 2 have been satisfied. I.MANNER OF COLLECTION The Special Tax shall be collected in the same manner and at the same time as ordinary ad valorem property taxes, provided, however, that CFD No. 2021-1 IA 2 may collect Special Taxes at a different time or in a different manner if necessary to meet its financial obligations, and may covenant to foreclose and may actually foreclose on delinquent Assessor's Parcels as permitted by the Act. J. APPEALS OF SPECIAL TAXES Any taxpayer may file a written appeal of the Special Taxes on his/her Assessor's Parcel(s) with the CFD Administrator, provided that the appellant is current in his/her payments of Special Taxes. During pendency of an appeal, all Special Taxes previously levied must be paid on or before the payment date City of Lake Elsinore Community Facilities District No. 2021-1(Tuscany Valley/Crest) Page 12 established when the levy was made. The appeal must specify the reasons why the appellant claims the Special Tax is in error. The CFD Administrator shall review the appeal, meet with the appellant if the CFD Administrator deems necessary, and advise the appellant of its determination. If the CFD Administrator agrees with the appellant, the CFD Administrator shall grant a credit to eliminate or reduce future Special Taxes on the appellant's Assessor's Parcel(s). No refunds of previously paid Special Taxes shall be made. The CFD Administrator shall interpret this Rate and Method of Apportionment and make determinations relative to the annual levy and administration of the Special Taxes and any taxpayer who appeals, as herein specified.

No. 2021-25 Page 2 of 6 Whereas, the District, the Developer and the Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District (the "Water District") propose to enter into a Joint Community Facilities Agreement (the "JCFA") relating to certain facilities proposed to be financed by the District and owned and operated by the Water District, and the District expects to enter into the JCFA prior to the approval of the issuance of bonds pursuant to the Act. NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE DOES HEREBY RESOLVE, DETERMINE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. The above recitals are true and correct. Section 2. A community facilities district is proposed to be established under the terms of the Act with two separate improvement areas designated pursuant to Section 53350 of the Act. It is further proposed that the boundaries of the District and of each Improvement Area shall be the legal boundaries as described in Attachment "A" hereto, which boundaries shall, upon recordation of the boundary map for the District, include the entirety of any parcel subject to taxation by the District, and as depicted on the map of the proposed Community Facilities District No. 2021-1 which is on file with the City Clerk. The City Clerk is hereby directed to sign the original map of the District and record it with all proper endorsements thereon with the Assessor- County Clerk-Recorder of the County of Riverside (the "County Recorder") within 15 days after the adoption of this resolution, all as required by Section 3111 of the Streets and Highways Code of the State of California. Section 3. The name of the proposed community facilities district shall be"Community Facilities District No. 2021-1 of the City of Lake Elsinore (Tuscany Valley/Crest)" and the two proposed Improvement Areas shall be designated as "Improvement Area No. 1 of Community Facilities District No. 2021-1 of the City of Lake Elsinore (Tuscany Valley/Crest)" and "Improvement Area No. 2 of Community Facilities District No. 2021-1 of the City of Lake Elsinore (Tuscany Valley/Crest)." Section 4. The Facilities proposed to be provided within Community Facilities District No. 2021-1 and to be financed, in part, by each Improvement Area are public facilities as defined in the Act, which the City and the Water District, with respect to certain water and sewer facilities, are authorized by law to construct, acquire, own and operate. The City Council hereby finds and determines that the description of the Facilities herein is sufficiently informative to allow taxpayers within the proposed District and each proposed Improvement Area to understand what the funds of each Improvement Area may be used to finance. The Incidental Expenses expected to be incurred include the cost of planning and designing the Facilities, the costs of forming the District, issuing bonds and levying and collecting the Special Tax within each Improvement Area of the District. The Facilities may be acquired from one or more of the property owners within the District as completed public improvements or may be constructed from bond or Special Tax proceeds. All or a portion of the Facilities may be purchased with District funds as completed public facilities pursuant to Section 53314.9 or as discrete portions or phases pursuant to Section 53313.51 of the Act and/or constructed with District funds pursuant to Section 53316.2 of the Act. Any portion of the Facilities may be financed through a lease or lease-purchase arrangement if the District hereafter determines that such arrangement is of benefit to the District. Section 5. Except where funds are otherwise available, it is the intention of the City Council to levy annually in accordance with the procedures contained in the Act the Special Tax within each Improvement Area, secured by recordation of a continuing lien against all nonexempt DocuSign Envelope ID:2D5OD458-4900-4EO1-98AB-A2ADDOCC4007 CC Res. No. 2021-25 Page 3 of 6 real property in such Improvement Area, sufficient to pay for: (i) the portion of the Facilities and Incidental Expenses to be financed by such Improvement Area; and (ii) the principal and interest and other periodic costs on bonds or other indebtedness issued to finance the Facilities and Incidental Expenses, including the establishment and replenishment of any reserve funds deemed necessary by the District, and any remarketing, credit enhancement and liquidity facility fees (including such fees for instruments which serve as the basis of a reserve fund in lieu of cash). The rate and method of apportionment and manner of collection of the Special Tax for Improvement Area No. 1 are described in detail in Attachment "C" attached hereto, which Attachment "C" is incorporated herein by this reference. Attachment "C" allows each landowner within proposed Improvement Area No. 1 to estimate the maximum amount of the Special Tax that may be levied against each parcel. The rate and method of apportionment and manner of collection of the Special Tax for Improvement Area No. 2 are described in detail in Attachment "D" attached hereto, which Attachment "Y is incorporated herein by this reference. Attachment "D" allows each landowner within proposed Improvement Area No. 2 to estimate the maximum amount of the Special Tax that may be levied against each parcel. In the first year in which such Special Tax is levied in an Improvement Area, the levy shall include an amount sufficient to repay to the District all amounts, if any, transferred to the District pursuant to Section 53314 of the Act and interest thereon. If the Special Taxes of an Improvement Area are levied against any parcel used for private residential purposes, (i)the maximum Special Tax rate shall be specified as a dollar amount which shall be calculated and established not later than the date on which the parcel is first subject to the Special Tax because of its use for private residential purposes and shall not be increased over time, except to the extent permitted in the rate and method of apportionment of the Special Tax for such Improvement Area as set forth in Attachment "C" and Attachment "D" hereto, as applicable, (ii) such Special Tax shall not be levied after fiscal year 2060-61, as described in Attachment "C" and "Attachment "D" hereto, as applicable, and (iii) under no circumstances will the Special Tax levied in any fiscal year against any such parcel used for private residential uses be increased as a consequence of delinquency or default by the owner or owners of any other parcel or parcels within such Improvement Area by more than ten percent (10%) above the amount that would have been levied in that fiscal year had there never been any such delinquencies or defaults. The Special Tax within each proposed Improvement Area is based on the expected demand that each parcel of real property within such Improvement Area will place on the Facilities and on the benefit that each parcel derives from the right to access the Facilities. The City Council hereby determines that the proposed Facilities are necessary to meet the increased demand placed upon the City and the existing infrastructure in the City as a result of the development of the land proposed for inclusion in the District. The City Council hereby determines the rate and method of apportionment of the special tax applicable to each proposed Improvement Area with respect to the Special Tax set forth in Attachment "C" and "Attachment "D", respectively, to be reasonable. The Special Tax is apportioned to each parcel on the foregoing basis pursuant to Section 53325.3 of the Act and such special tax is not on or based upon the value or ownership of real property. In the event that a portion of the property within Community Facilities District No. 2021-1 shall become for any reason exempt, wholly or partially, from the levy of the Special Tax specified on Attachment "C" or Attachment "D," respectively, the City Council shall, on behalf of Community Facilities District No. 2021-1, cause the levy to be increased, subject to the limitation of the maximum Special Tax for a parcel as set forth in Attachment "C" or Attachment "D," respectively, to the extent necessary upon the remaining property within the applicable Improvement Area which is not exempt in order to yield the Special Tax revenues required for the DocuSign Envelope ID:2D50D458-4900-4E01-98AB-A2ADDOCC4007 CC Res. No. 2021-25 Page 4 of 6 purposes described in this Section 5. The obligation to pay the Special Tax may be prepaid only as set forth in Section G of Attachment "C" or Attachment "D," as applicable. Section 6. A public hearing (the "Hearing") on the establishment of the proposed Community Facilities District No. 2021-1 and each Improvement Area, the proposed rate and method of apportionment of the Special Tax and the proposed issuance of bonds for each Improvement Area to finance the Facilities and the Incidental Expenses shall be held at 7:00 p.m., or as soon thereafter as practicable, on April 27, 2021, at the City Cultural Center, 183 North Main Street, Lake Elsinore, California. Notwithstanding the foregoing, consistent with the Governor of the State of California's Executive Order N-29-20 or other applicable directives, the Hearing may be held remotely with public participation via methods to be set forth in the City Council's agenda. Should the City Council determine to form the District and establish the Improvement Areas, a special election will be held within each Improvement Area to authorize the issuance of bonds of such Improvement Area and the levy of a special tax within such Improvement Area in accordance with the procedures contained in Government Code Section 53326. If held, the proposed voting procedure at the elections will be a landowner vote with each landowner who is the owner of record of land within an Improvement Area at the close of the Hearing, or the authorized representative thereof, having one vote for each acre or portion thereof owned within such proposed Improvement Area. Ballots for the special elections may be distributed by mail or by personal service. Section 7. At the time and place set forth above for the Hearing, the City Council will receive testimony as to whether the proposed Community Facilities District No. 2021-1 and the proposed Improvement Areas shall be established and as to the method of apportionment of the special tax within each proposed Improvement Area and shall consider: (a) if an ad valorem property tax is currently being levied on property within proposed Community Facilities District No. 2021-1 for the exclusive purpose of paying principal of or interest on bonds, lease payments or other indebtedness incurred to finance construction of capital facilities; and (b) if the capital facilities to be financed and constructed by Community Facilities District No. 2021-1 will provide the same services as were provided by the capital facilities mentioned in subsection (a); and (c) if the City Council makes the findings specified in subsections (a) and (b) above, it will consider appropriate action to determine whether the total annual amount of ad valorem property tax revenue due from parcels within Community Facilities District No. 2021-1, for purposes of paying principal and interest on the debt identified in subsection (a) above, shall not be increased after the date on which Community Facilities District No. 2021-1 is established, or after a later date determined by the City Council with the concurrence of the legislative body which levied the property tax in question. Section 8. At the time and place set forth above for the Hearing, any interested person, including all persons owning lands or registered to vote within proposed Community Facilities District No. 2021-1, may appear and be heard. Section 9. Each City officer who is or will be responsible for providing the Facilities within proposed Community Facilities District No. 2021-1, if it is established, is hereby directed to study the proposed District and, at or before the time of the above-mentioned Hearing,file a report with the City Council containing a brief description of the public facilities by type which will in his DocuSign Envelope ID:2D5OD458-4900-4EO1-98AB-A2ADDOCC4007 CC Res. No. 2021-25 Page 5 of 6 or her opinion be required to meet adequately the needs of Community Facilities District No. 2021- 1 and an estimate of the cost of providing those public facilities, including the cost of environmental evaluations of such facilities and an estimate of the fair and reasonable cost of any Incidental Expenses to be incurred. Section 10. The District may accept advances of funds or work-in-kind from any source, including, but not limited to, private persons or private entities, for any authorized purpose, including, but not limited to, paying any cost incurred in creating Community Facilities District No. 2021-1. The District may enter into an agreement with the person or entity advancing the funds or work-in-kind, to repay all or a portion of the funds advanced, or to reimburse the person or entity for the value, or cost, whichever is less, of the work-in-kind, as determined by the City Council, with or without interest. Section 11. The City Clerk is hereby directed to publish a notice (the "Notice") of the Hearing pursuant to Section 6061 of the Government Code in a newspaper of general circulation published in the area of proposed Community Facilities District No. 2021-1. The City Clerk is further directed to mail a copy of the Notice to each of the landowners within the boundaries of the District at least 15 days prior to the Hearing. The Notice shall contain the text or a summary of this Resolution, the time and place of the Hearing, a statement that the testimony of all interested persons or taxpayers will be heard, a description of the protest rights of the registered voters and landowners in the proposed district and a description of the proposed voting procedure for the elections required by the Act. Such publication shall be completed at least seven (7) days prior to the date of the Hearing. Section 12. The reasonably expected maximum principal amount of the bonded indebtedness to be incurred by Improvement Area No. 1 for the Facilities and Incidental Expenses is Fourteen Million Dollars ($14,000,000) and by Improvement Area No. 2 is Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000). Section 13. Except to the extent limited in any bond resolution or trust indenture related to the issuance of bonds, the City Council hereby reserves to itself all rights and powers set forth in Section 53344.1 of the Act (relating to tenders in full or partial payment). Section 14. This Resolution shall be effective upon its adoption.

Divide the Maximum Special Tax derived pursuant to paragraph 2 by the total amount of Special Taxes that could be levied at the Maximum Special Tax at build out of all Assessor's Parcels of Taxable Property based on the applicable Maximum Special Tax for Assessor's Parcels of Developed Property not including any Assessor's Parcels for which the Special Tax obligation has been previously prepaid. 4. Multiply the quotient derived pursuant to paragraph 3 by the principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds to determine the amount of Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the Prepayment Amount (the "Bond Redemption Amount"). 5. Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount by the applicable redemption premium, if any, on the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed (the "Redemption Premium"). 6. Determine the Future Facilities Costs. 7. Multiply the quotient derived pursuant to paragraph 3 by the amount determined pursuant to paragraph 6 to determine the amount of Future Facilities Costs for the Assessor's Parcel (the "Future Facilities Amount"). 8. Determine the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Redemption Amount from the first bond interest and/or principal payment date following the current Fiscal Year until the earliest redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds on which Bonds can be redeemed from Special Tax prepayments. 9. Determine the Special Taxes levied on the Assessor's Parcel in the current Fiscal Year which have not yet been paid.

Determine the amount the CFD Administrator reasonably expects to derive from the investment of the Bond Redemption Amount and the Redemption Premium from the date of prepayment until the redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the Prepayment Amount. 11. Add the amounts derived pursuant to paragraphs 8 and 9 and subtract the amount derived pursuant to paragraph 10 (the "Defeasance Amount"). 12. Verify the administrative fees and expenses of the CFD, including the cost of computation of the Prepayment Amount, the cost to invest the Prepayment Amount, the cost of redeeming the Outstanding Bonds, and the cost of recording notices to evidence the prepayment of the Maximum Special Tax obligation for the Assessor's Parcel and the redemption of Outstanding Bonds (the "Administrative Fees and Expenses"). 13.

The Prepayment Amount is equal to the sum of the Bond Redemption Amount, the Redemption Premium, the Future Facilities Amount, the Defeasance Amount and the Administrative Fees and Expenses, less the Reserve Fund Credit. 15. From the Prepayment Amount, the Bond Redemption Amount, the Redemption Premium, and Defeasance Amount shall be deposited into the appropriate fund as established under the Indenture and be used to redeem Outstanding Bonds or make debt service payments. The Future Facilities Amount shall be deposited into the Construction Fund. The Administrative Fees and Expenses shall be retained by the CFD. The Prepayment Amount may be sufficient to redeem other than a $5,000 increment of Bonds. In such event, the increment above $5,000 or an integral multiple thereof will be retained in the appropriate fund established under the Indenture to be used with the next redemption from other Special Tax prepayments of Outstanding Bonds or to make debt service payments. As a result of the payment of the current Fiscal Year's Special Tax levy as determined pursuant to paragraph 9 above, the CFD Administrator shall remove the current Fiscal Year's Special Tax levy for the Assessor's Parcel from the County tax roll. With respect to any Assessor's Parcel for which the Maximum Special Tax obligation is prepaid, the City Council shall cause a suitable notice to be recorded in compliance with the Act, to indicate the prepayment of Maximum Special Tax obligation and the release of the Special Tax lien for the Assessor's Parcel, and the obligation to pay the Special Tax for such Assessor's Parcel shall cease.

Within 5 days of receipt of such notice, the CFD Administrator shall notify such property owner of the amount of the non-refundable deposit determined to cover the cost to be incurred by the CFD in calculating the amount of a partial prepayment. Within 15 business days of receipt of such non-refundable deposit, the CFD Administrator shall notify such owner of the amount of the Partial Prepayment Amount for the Assessor's Parcel. A Partial Prepayment Amount must be made not less than 60 days prior to the redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the proceeds of the Partial Prepayment Amount. With respect to any Assessor's Parcel for which the Maximum Special Tax obligation is partially prepaid, the CFD Administrator shall (i) distribute the Partial Prepayment Amount as provided in Paragraph 15 of Section G.1, and (ii) indicate in the records of the CFD that there has been a Partial Prepayment for the Assessor's Parcel and that a portion of the Maximum Special Tax obligation equal to the remaining percentage (1.00 - F) of the Maximum Special Tax obligation will continue to be levied on the Assessor's Parcel pursuant to Section E. H. TERMINATION OF SPECIAL TAX For each Fiscal Year that any Bonds are outstanding the Special Tax shall be levied on all Assessor's Parcels subject to the Special Tax. The Special Tax shall cease not later than the 2060-2061 Fiscal Year, however, Special Tax will cease to be levied in an earlier Fiscal Year if the CFD Administrator has determined (i) that all the required interest and principal payments on the CFD No. 2021-1 IA 1 Bonds have been paid; (ii) all authorized facilities of CFD No. 2021-1 IA 1 have been acquired and all reimbursements to the developer have been paid, (iii) no delinquent Special Tax remain uncollected and (iv) all other obligations of CFD No. 2021-1 IA 1 have been satisfied.

Notwithstanding the above, the City Council shall not classify an Assessor's Parcel as Exempt Property if such classification would reduce the sum of all Taxable Property to less than 19.51 Acres. Assessor's Parcels which cannot be classified as Exempt Property because such classification would reduce the Acreage of all Taxable Property to less than 19.51 Acres will be classified as Provisional Undeveloped Property, and will be subject to Special Tax pursuant to Step Five in Section E. G. PREPAYMENT OF SPECIAL TAX The following additional definitions apply to this Section G: D-8 4834-5995-9774v3/022042-0035 DocuSign Envelope ID:2D50D458-4900-4E01-98AB-A2ADDOCC4007 "CFD Public Facilities" means $7,500,000 expressed in 2021 dollars, which shall increase by the Construction Inflation Index on July 1, 2022, and on each July 1 thereafter, or such lower amount (i) determined by the City Council as sufficient to provide the public facilities under the authorized bonding program for CFD No. 2021-1 IA 2, or (ii) determined by the City Council concurrently with a covenant that it will not issue any more Bonds to be supported by Special Tax levied under this Rate and Method of Apportionment. "Construction Fund" means an account specifically identified in the Indenture or functionally equivalent to hold funds, which are currently available for expenditure to acquire or construct public facilities eligible to be financed by CFD No. 2021-1 IA 2. "Construction Inflation Index" means the annual percentage change in the Engineering News- Record Building Cost Index for the City of Los Angeles, measured as of the Calendar Year which ends in the previous Fiscal Year. In the event this index ceases to be published, the Construction Inflation Index shall be another index as determined by the City that is reasonably comparable to the Engineering News-Record Building Cost Index for the City of Los Angeles. "Future Facilities Costs" means the CFD Public Facilities minus public facility costs available to be funded through existing construction or escrow accounts funded by the Outstanding Bonds, and minus public facility costs funded by interest earnings on the Construction Fund actually earned prior to the date of prepayment. "Outstanding Bonds" means all previously issued Bonds issued and secured by the levy of Special Tax which will remain outstanding after the first interest and/or principal payment date following the current Fiscal Year, excluding CFD No. 2021-1 IA 2 Bonds to be redeemed at a later date with the proceeds of prior prepayments of Special Tax. 1. Prepayment in Full The Maximum Special Tax obligation may be prepaid and permanently satisfied for(i)Assessor's Parcels of Developed Property, (ii) Assessor's Parcels of Approved Property or Undeveloped Property for which a Building Permit has been issued, (iii) Approved Property or Undeveloped Property for which a Building Permit has not been issued and (iv) Assessor's Parcels of Public Property or Property Owner's Association Property, or Provisional Undeveloped Property that are not Exempt Property pursuant to Section F. The Maximum Special Tax obligation applicable to an Assessor's Parcel may be fully prepaid and the obligation to pay the Special Tax for such Assessor's Parcel permanently satisfied as described herein; provided that a prepayment may be made only if there are no delinquent Special Taxes with respect to such Assessor's Parcel at the time of prepayment. An owner of an Assessor's Parcel intending to prepay the Maximum Special Tax obligation for such Assessor's Parcel shall provide the CFD Administrator with written notice of intent to prepay, and within 5 business days of receipt of such notice, the CFD Administrator shall notify such owner of the amount of the non-refundable deposit determined to cover the cost to be incurred by the CFD in calculating the Prepayment Amount (as defined below) for the Assessor's Parcel. Within 15 days of receipt of such non-refundable deposit, the CFD Administrator shall notify such owner of the Prepayment Amount for the Assessor's Parcel. Prepayment must be made not less than 60 days prior to the redemption date for any Bonds to be redeemed with the proceeds of such prepaid Special Taxes. The Prepayment Amount (defined below) shall be calculated as follows (capitalized terms are defined below): D-9 4834-5995-9774v3/022042-0035 DocuSign Envelope ID:2D50D458-4900-4E01-98AB-A2ADDOCC4007 Bond Redemption Amount plus Redemption Premium plus Future Facilities Amount plus Defeasance Amount plus Administrative Fees and Expenses less Reserve Fund Credit Equals: Prepayment Amount The Prepayment Amount shall be determined as of the proposed prepayment date as follows: 1. Confirm that no Special Tax delinquencies apply to such Assessor's Parcel. 2. For an Assessor's Parcel of Developed Property, compute the Maximum Special Tax for the Assessor's Parcel. For an Assessor's Parcel of Approved Property or Undeveloped Property for which a Building Permit has been issued, compute the Maximum Special Tax for the Assessor's Parcel as though it was already designated as Developed Property, based upon the Building Permit which has been issued for the Assessor's Parcel. For an Assessor's Parcel of Approved Property or Undeveloped Property for which a Building Permit has not been issued, Public Property, Property Owner's Association Property, or Provisional Undeveloped Property to be prepaid compute the Maximum Special Tax for the Assessor's Parcel. 3. Divide the Maximum Special Tax derived pursuant to paragraph 2 by the total amount of Special Taxes that could be levied at the Maximum Special Tax at build out of all Assessor's Parcels of Taxable Property based on the applicable Maximum Special Tax for Assessor's Parcels of Developed Property not including any Assessor's Parcels for which the Special Tax obligation has been previously prepaid. 4. Multiply the quotient derived pursuant to paragraph 3 by the principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds to determine the amount of Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the Prepayment Amount (the "Bond Redemption Amount"). 5. Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount by the applicable redemption premium, if any, on the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed (the "Redemption Premium"). 6. Determine the Future Facilities Costs. 7. Multiply the quotient derived pursuant to paragraph 3 by the amount determined pursuant to paragraph 6 to determine the amount of Future Facilities Costs for the Assessor's Parcel (the "Future Facilities Amount"). 8. Determine the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Redemption Amount from the first bond interest and/or principal payment date following the current Fiscal Year until the earliest redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds on which Bonds can be redeemed from Special Tax prepayments. 9. Determine the Special Taxes levied on the Assessor's Parcel in the current Fiscal Year which have not yet been paid. 10. Determine the amount the CFD Administrator reasonably expects to derive from the investment of the Bond Redemption Amount and the Redemption Premium from the date of D-10 4834-5995-9774v3/022042-0035 DocuSign Envelope ID:2D50D458-4900-4E01-98AB-A2ADDOCC4007 prepayment until the redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the Prepayment Amount. 11. Add the amounts derived pursuant to paragraphs 8 and 9 and subtract the amount derived pursuant to paragraph 10 (the "Defeasance Amount"). 12. Verify the administrative fees and expenses of the CFD, including the cost of computation of the Prepayment Amount, the cost to invest the Prepayment Amount, the cost of redeeming the Outstanding Bonds, and the cost of recording notices to evidence the prepayment of the Maximum Special Tax obligation for the Assessor's Parcel and the redemption of Outstanding Bonds (the "Administrative Fees and Expenses"). 13. The reserve fund credit (the "Reserve Fund Credit") shall equal the lesser of: (a) the expected reduction in the reserve requirement(as defined in the Indenture), if any, associated with the redemption of Outstanding Bonds as a result of the prepayment, or (b) the amount derived by subtracting the new reserve requirement(as defined in the Indenture) in effect after the redemption of Outstanding Bonds as a result of the prepayment from the balance in the reserve fund on the prepayment date, but in no event shall such amount be less than zero. 14. The Prepayment Amount is equal to the sum of the Bond Redemption Amount, the Redemption Premium, the Future Facilities Amount, the Defeasance Amount and the Administrative Fees and Expenses, less the Reserve Fund Credit. 15. From the Prepayment Amount, the Bond Redemption Amount, the Redemption Premium, and Defeasance Amount shall be deposited into the appropriate fund as established under the Indenture and be used to redeem Outstanding Bonds or make debt service payments. The Future Facilities Amount shall be deposited into the Construction Fund. The Administrative Fees and Expenses shall be retained by the CFD. The Prepayment Amount may be sufficient to redeem other than a $5,000 increment of Bonds. In such event, the increment above $5,000 or an integral multiple thereof will be retained in the appropriate fund established under the Indenture to be used with the next redemption from other Special Tax prepayments of Outstanding Bonds or to make debt service payments. As a result of the payment of the current Fiscal Year's Special Tax levy as determined pursuant to paragraph 9 above, the CFD Administrator shall remove the current Fiscal Year's Special Tax levy for the Assessor's Parcel from the County tax roll. With respect to any Assessor's Parcel for which the Maximum Special Tax obligation is prepaid, the City Council shall cause a suitable notice to be recorded in compliance with the Act, to indicate the prepayment of Maximum Special Tax obligation and the release of the Special Tax lien for the Assessor's Parcel, and the obligation to pay the Special Tax for such Assessor's Parcel shall cease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Special Tax prepayment shall be allowed unless the amount of Maximum Special Tax that may be levied on all Assessor's Parcels of Taxable Property after the proposed prepayment will be at least 1.1 times maximum annual debt service on the Bonds that will remain outstanding after the prepayment plus the estimated annual Administrative Expenses. Tenders of Bonds in prepayment of the Maximum Special Tax obligation may be accepted upon the terms and conditions established by the City Council pursuant to the Act. However, the use of Bond tenders shall only be allowed on a case-by-case basis as specifically approved by the City Council.

Prepayment in Part The Maximum Special Tax obligation for an Assessor's Parcel of Developed Property, Approved Property or Undeveloped Property may be partially prepaid. For purposes of determining the partial prepayment amount, the provisions of Section G.1 shall be modified as provided by the following formula: PP = ((PE —A) x F) + A These terms have the following meaning: PP = Partial Prepayment Amount PE = the Prepayment Amount calculated according to Section G.1 F = the percent by which the owner of the Assessor's Parcel(s) is partially prepaying the Maximum Special Tax obligation A = the Administrative Fees and Expenses determined pursuant to Section G.1 The owner of an Assessor's Parcel who desires to partially prepay the Maximum Special Tax obligation for the Assessor's Parcel shall notify the CFD Administrator of (i) such owner's intent to partially prepay the Maximum Special Tax obligation, (ii) the percentage of the Maximum Special Tax obligation such owner wishes to prepay, and (iii) the company or agency that will be acting as the escrow agent, if any. Within 5 days of receipt of such notice, the CFD Administrator shall notify such property owner of the amount of the non-refundable deposit determined to cover the cost to be incurred by the CFD in calculating the amount of a partial prepayment. Within 15 business days of receipt of such non-refundable deposit, the CFD Administrator shall notify such owner of the amount of the Partial Prepayment Amount for the Assessor's Parcel. A Partial Prepayment Amount must be made not less than 60 days prior to the redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the proceeds of the Partial Prepayment Amount. With respect to any Assessor's Parcel for which the Maximum Special Tax obligation is partially prepaid, the CFD Administrator shall (i) distribute the Partial Prepayment Amount as provided in Paragraph 15 of Section G.1, and (ii) indicate in the records of the CFD that there has been a Partial Prepayment for the Assessor's Parcel and that a portion of the Maximum Special Tax obligation equal to the remaining percentage (1.00 - F) of the Maximum Special Tax obligation will continue to be levied on the Assessor's Parcel pursuant to Section E. H. TERMINATION OF SPECIAL TAX For each Fiscal Year that any Bonds are outstanding the Special Tax shall be levied on all Assessor's Parcels subject to the Special Tax. The Special Tax shall cease not later than the 2060-2061 Fiscal Year, however, Special Tax will cease to be levied in an earlier Fiscal Year if the CFD Administrator has determined (i)that all the required interest and principal payments on the CFD No. 2021-1 IA 2 Bonds have been paid; (ii) all authorized facilities of CFD No. 2021-1 IA 2 have been acquired and all reimbursements to the developer have been paid, (iii) no delinquent Special Tax remain uncollected and (iv) all other obligations of CFD No. 2021-1 IA 2 have been satisfied. I. MANNER OF COLLECTION The Special Tax shall be collected in the same manner and at the same time as ordinary ad valorem property taxes, provided, however, that CFD No. 2021-1 IA 2 may collect Special Taxes at a different time or in a different manner if necessary to meet its financial obligations, and may D-12 4834-5995-9774v3/022042-0035 DocuSign Envelope ID:2D50D458-4900-4E01-98AB-A2ADDOCC4007 covenant to foreclose and may actually foreclose on delinquent Assessor's Parcels as permitted by the Act. J. APPEALS OF SPECIAL TAXES Any taxpayer may file a written appeal of the Special Taxes on his/her Assessor's Parcel(s) with the CFD Administrator, provided that the appellant is current in his/her payments of Special Taxes. During pendency of an appeal, all Special Taxes previously levied must be paid on or before the payment date established when the levy was made. The appeal must specify the reasons why the appellant claims the Special Tax is in error. The CFD Administrator shall review the appeal, meet with the appellant if the CFD Administrator deems necessary, and advise the appellant of its determination. If the CFD Administrator agrees with the appellant, the CFD Administrator shall grant a credit to eliminate or reduce future Special Taxes on the appellant's Assessor's Parcel(s). No refunds of previously paid Special Taxes shall be made. The CFD Administrator shall interpret this Rate and Method of Apportionment and make determinations relative to the annual levy and administration of the Special Taxes and any taxpayer who appeals, as herein specified.

DEVELOPER ADVANCES The City has retained and may retain, at the Developer’s expense, the necessary consultants to analyze the formation proceedings and any future change proceedings with respect to the CFD (the “Proceedings”), including a special tax consultant, bond counsel, appraiser and other consultants deemed necessary by the City. The Developer has advanced to the City a sum of money for such expenses, part of which may be eligible for reimbursement from the CFD. From time to time, Developer will make additional advances, within 10 days following receipt from the City of a request for an additional advance, to cover the costs of the Formation Proceedings. The City will provide to Developer on request a summary of how the advances have been spent and the unexpended balance remaining. The amounts advanced by the Developer and, to the extent determined reasonable and appropriate by the City, expenses incurred by the Developer for engineering consultant costs in connection with the Proceedings and the issuance of bonds, will be reimbursable to the Developer, without interest, from the proceeds of bonds (the “Bonds”) issued by the Community Facilities District. In the event that Bonds are not issued to provide a source of reimbursement to Developer, the City shall not have any liability to Developer to reimburse it for any of the amounts previously advanced by Developer and expended by the City. Prior to the issuance of the Bonds, the City will request a final advance for any unpaid expenses incurred during preparatory technical, financial and legal work; and following payment of such expenses, the City shall promptly release the balance, if any, of the advance to the Developer. Should the City’s expenses exceed the remaining balance, the City will bill the Developer for the difference, which the Developer agrees to pay within 10 days following receipt of such billing, subject to the conditions of paragraph one of this section. SECTION 2. SALE OF BONDS 2.1 City Policies. The City Council has adopted the Policy, setting forth the City’s policies and procedures concerning the use of special district financing programs to finance the Improvements. Pursuant to the Policy, the total annual amount of the special taxes to be collected with respect to a parcel within an Improvement Area and all other taxes and assessments which will be collected with respect to such parcel must not exceed two percent (2%) of the expected assessed value of such parcel within an Improvement Area upon the completion of all expected structural improvements to such parcel. Prior to or in connection with the issuance of Bonds for an Improvement Area, in the event the sum of the special taxes and assessments exceed 2% of the expected assessed value of a parcel within such Improvement Area, the City may require that the Developer or its assignees prepay a portion of the special tax obligation such that sum of the special taxes and assessments does not exceed 2% of such expected assessed value. The Parties hereby agree that, unless waived by the City, at the time of issuance of the Bonds for an Improvement Area, the following requirements shall be met: (1) the ratio of the value of all parcels of property for which the Bonds are being issued to the amount of outstanding community facilities district or assessment district bonds attributable to such parcels (the “Value- to-Lien Ratio”) may not be less than four-to-one (4:1) and (2) at least 50% of the proposed residential units within such Improvement Area shall have been completed and conveyed to individual homeowners. The fair market value of the property within an Improvement Area for purposes of determining the foregoing ratio will be determined based on the assessed value of the property or the appraised value of the property based on the appraisal made by an appraiser selected by the City with a valuation date within three (3) months of the issuance of the Bonds. 3 4812-8073-2134v2/022042-0035 Subject to satisfaction of the Policy and the requirements of this Agreement, the City shall use its best efforts to issue and sell the Bonds in one or more series for an Improvement Area in an amount sufficient to fund the Improvements in accordance with the schedule for development of the Developer Property. 2.2 Security for Payment of Special Taxes. Concurrently with the issuance and sale of each series of the Bonds for an Improvement Area, the owner of any land within such Improvement Area, together with land owned by any affiliate (collectively, an “Account Party”), for which the Maximum Special Tax (as defined in the Rate and Method of Apportionment of Special Tax for such Improvement Area (each a “Rate and Method”), such Special Tax referred to herein as the “Special Tax” or “Special Taxes”) in the fiscal year following the fiscal year in which the Bonds are issued are equal to or exceed 20% of the total Maximum Special Tax for such fiscal year, shall deliver to the City either (i) a renewable, irrevocable instrument of credit from a financial institution (rated “A” or better) or (ii) cash in-lieu thereof (a “Security”). The Security shall be in an amount equal to two times the expected Special Tax levy on the property in the Improvement Area owned by such Account Party (the “Stated Amount”). The Security shall be maintained by the Account Party in each fiscal year until terminated in accordance with Section 2.2(c) below. While the Security is still required, the Stated Amount of such Security shall be reduced as set forth in a “Certificate of Reduction or Termination” (as defined in Section 2.2(c) below). The Security shall name the City, or its designee, as a beneficiary and shall provide that the City, or its designee, may draw an amount equal to any delinquencies in payment of semiannual installments of the Special Taxes levied on property owned by the Account Party in the Improvement Area. The total amount to be drawn under the Security shall not exceed an amount equal to the Special Taxes owed by the Account Party with respect to property within the Improvement Area that is delinquent at the time the draw is made. The amount drawn on the Security shall be applied in the same manner and for the same purposes as the delinquent Special Taxes would have been applied; provided, however the payment of a draw under the Security will not be deemed to cure the delinquency in payment of the Special Taxes. If, subsequent to a draw on the Security and prior to the satisfaction of any reimbursements due to the institution providing the Security (the “Security Provider”) pursuant to this Agreement, the City receives payment of all or a portion of the delinquent Special Taxes or the proceeds of a sale of delinquent real property pursuant to foreclosure proceedings (“Delinquency Proceeds”) for a parcel for which the Security has been drawn, the Security Provider shall be reimbursed for such draws to the extent of Delinquency Proceeds net of the City’s costs of collection, provided that the Security is or has been concurrently reinstated to, or a Substitute Security (as defined below) provided for, the then applicable Stated Amount. The Security Provider is intended by the Parties to be a third party beneficiary of this Section 2.2. (a) The Security shall be renewed, or a substitute Security reasonably satisfactory to the City (a “Substitute Security”) provided, not less than thirty (30) calendar days prior to the expiration of the Security or Substitute Security then in effect. If the Account Party provides a Substitute Security to the City, then the City or its designee, shall return any existing Security on the effective date of the Substitute Security to the Security Provider. If the Security is not renewed within thirty (30) days prior to its expiration date and the requirements for release or termination of the Security as set forth in Section 2.2(c) below have not then been met, the full amount of the Security may be drawn by the City and deposited in an account established under the Indenture (as hereinafter defined) for the applicable series of Bonds or in such account established with a financial institution selected by the City. Thereafter, 4 4812-8073-2134v2/022042-0035 amounts in such account shall be held as security, and if Special Taxes owed by the Account Party with respect to property within the Improvement Area are not paid prior to delinquency, then such amounts in such account may be applied by the City to pay the delinquent Special Taxes owed by the Account Party with respect to such property on the same terms and conditions applicable hereunder to draws on the Security. At such time as the Security is renewed, or a Substitute Security is accepted by the City, or the requirement for the Security has been terminated pursuant to this section, the City or its designee, shall release all amounts in the Security account to the Security Provider within ten (10) calendar days from the date of renewal or acceptance. (b) Following the sale or transfer by the Account Party of any property within the Improvement Area to a person other than the Account Party, or upon the prepayment of the Special Tax obligation for a parcel owned by the Account Party, the Account Party shall notify the Community Facilities District of such event, in writing, and, if requested by the Account Party, the Stated Amount of the Security shall be reduced and be recalculated in accordance with this Section 2.2; provided, however, that City shall be required to recalculate such amount and reduce the Security a maximum of two times each calendar year and any costs associated with the recalculation and reduction shall be borne by the Account Party. The Security shall be terminated when (i) the Maximum Special Tax levy on the land owned by the Account Party in the Improvement Area is responsible for less than 20% of the Maximum Special Tax levy in the current fiscal year and the Account Party is not delinquent in the payment of any Special Taxes, (ii) the Account Party has paid all Special Taxes in the current fiscal year and the property owned by the Account Party in the Improvement Area is expected to be responsible for less than 20% of the Maximum Special Tax levy in the next fiscal year, or (iii) the Account Party has paid all Special Taxes in the current fiscal year and in the following fiscal year, the Community Facilities District will not levy the Special Tax on property within the Improvement Area owned by the Account Party. Reduction or termination of a Security shall occur automatically upon submission to the Security Provider by the City of a “Certificate of Reduction or Termination.” The City shall deliver to the Security Provider, such Certificate of Reduction or Termination promptly upon receiving from the Account Party a certification which shall be made under penalty of perjury and which shall indicate (i) the legal description of all land owned by the Account Party, and either (ii) a recalculation of the new Stated Amount that the Account Party proposes be applicable to the Security or (iii) if termination of the Security is requested, a statement that one of the requirements set forth in (i) through (iii) of the preceding paragraph has been satisfied. The Account Party shall notify the City of any events that will result in a reduction of the Stated Amount of the Security and shall provide the City with verification of said events. The Account Party may provide the City with a Substitute Security in the reduced amount, and the City shall release and return to the Security Provider the Security then in effect. The Parties expressly acknowledge that the Account Party’s failure to so notify the City or to reduce the Security at the times prescribed herein shall in no way effect or invalidate sale or transfer of property, or recordation of maps on property. (c) If property is sold or transferred by an Account Party with the result that the land owned by the transferee or any of its affiliates (“Transferee”) is responsible for twenty percent (20%) or more of the Maximum Special Tax in the current fiscal year, a Security on the same terms specified herein will be furnished by Transferee with respect to all land owned by such Transferee in the Improvement Area. Any applicable purchase and sale agreement and/or escrow 5 4812-8073-2134v2/022042-0035 instructions shall notify the Transferee of this Security requirement and obligate the Transferee to provide such Security, if applicable. The Security of the Account Party will not be reduced to reflect the sale or transfer of land until a Security is furnished by the Transferee and accepted by the City. The issuing financial institution and the form and terms of said Security will be subject to reasonable prior approval by the City. All terms provided in this Section 2.2 are applicable to the Transferee by replacing the term “Account Party” at each place where it occurs in each section with the term “Transferee.” Each provider of a Security for a Transferee shall be an express third party beneficiary of the provisions of this Section 2.2. Any costs related to the holding or maintaining the Security, including any fees of a fiscal agent, trustee or other depository shall be borne by the Account Party. 2.3 Major Landowner Initial and Continuing Disclosure. An owner of land within an Improvement Area which is responsible for twenty percent (20%) or more of the Special Tax in the fiscal year in which the Bonds are issued or in the fiscal year following the fiscal year in which the Bonds are issued (a “Major Landowner”) will be required to provide all information regarding the development of its property, including the financing plan for such development, which is necessary to ensure that the official statement for such Bonds complies with the requirements of Rule 15c2-12 of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Rule”) and all other applicable federal and state securities laws. Additionally, Developer acknowledges that, if it is a Major Landowner at the time of issuance of a series of Bonds, it will be necessary that Developer enter into a continuing disclosure agreement to provide such continuing disclosure pertaining to the development of the land owned by Developer within an Improvement Area as necessary to assist the underwriter in complying with the continuing disclosure requirements of the Rule and/or to assist in the marketing of the Bonds. 2.4 Bond Issuance Parameters. The terms and conditions upon which each series of the Bonds shall be issued and sold, the method of sale of the Bonds and the pricing of the Bonds shall be determined solely by the City in its reasonable discretion in conformance with the requirements of Government Code Section 53313.5, the Act, the Policy, and this Agreement. The Bonds shall be issued with a term not to exceed 35 years. The proceeds of a series of Bonds shall be used in the following priority to (1) fund a reserve fund for the payment of principal and interest with respect to the Bonds in an amount equal to the least of (i) ten percent (10%) of the total bond issue, (ii) maximum annual debt service on Bonds, or (iii) 125% of average annual debt service; (2) fund up to eighteen (18) months of capitalized interest; (3) reimburse the Developer or its designee pursuant to Section 1 and hereof for the costs described therein which have not already been reimbursed to the Developer from collected Special Tax; (4) pay for costs of issuance of the Bonds including, without limitation, underwriter’s discount, bond counsel and disclosure counsel fees, appraisal and special tax consultant fees, printing, and fiscal agent fees; and (5) pay for the actual costs of the Improvements. The Community Facilities District shall maintain records relating to the disbursements of proceeds of the sale of the Bonds. The Indenture or Resolution (hereinafter “Indenture”) for a series of Bonds shall establish an acquisition and construction fund or improvement fund (herein, the “Improvement Fund”) into which shall be deposited initially the proceeds of the Bonds net of the amount of proceeds required to fund items (1) through (5) in the second preceding sentence. Each Indenture shall also establish separate accounts of the Improvement Fund designated the “City Improvements Account,” “City Fee Facility Improvements Account,” and any Miscellaneous Improvement Account(s) for the Miscellaneous Improvements described in Exhibit “E” if applicable, into which shall be deposited such portions of the Improvement Fund as directed by the City and in writing at or subsequent to the closing of the sale of the Bonds consistent with the following priorities: 6 4812-8073-2134v2/022042-0035 (a) An amount sufficient to fund the reasonable, current estimated cost of the City Fee Facility Improvements anticipated to be funded out of the Bonds being issued shall be deposited in the City Fee Facility Improvements Account (any Special Taxes levied in the CFD and collected by the CFD remaining after the payment of administrative expenses of the CFD and the reimbursement of the Developer for costs pursuant to Section 1 hereof shall be deposited into the City Fee Facility Improvements Account at the time of Bond issuance, unless otherwise directed in writing by the Developer); (b) If applicable, an amount to be agreed upon between Developer and the CFD prior to the issuance of a series of Bonds sufficient to fund the reasonable, current estimated costs of the City Improvements shall be deposited, or later transferred, to the City Improvements Account; and (c) If applicable, an amount to be agreed upon between Developer and the CFD prior to the issuance of a series of Bonds sufficient to fund the reasonable, current estimated cost of any Miscellaneous Improvements, if any, described in Exhibit “E” hereto, anticipated to be funded out of the Bonds being issued shall be deposited in the applicable Miscellaneous Improvement Account(s). Interest earned on moneys deposited in each of the City Fee Facility Improvements Account, the City Improvements Account and the Miscellaneous Improvement Account(s) shall remain in such accounts until such time as all of the Improvements have been funded. Additionally, the Developer may direct the CFD to transfer excess moneys in any of the City Fee Facility Improvements Account, the City Improvements Account or the Miscellaneous Improvement Account(s) to another Account. The Indenture shall provide that amounts remaining in the Improvement Fund after funding all proposed Improvements or sooner, as agreed by the City and the Developer, shall be deposited in the special tax fund or bond service fund and be applied to pay debt service on the related series of Bonds and/or to call such Bonds in advance of maturity. SECTION 3. ALLOCATION OF SPECIAL TAXES Prior to the issuance of a series of Bonds for any Improvement Area, the City Council of the City, acting as the legislative body of the Community Facilities District, may levy Special Taxes on all parcels classified as Developed Property within such Improvement Area pursuant to the applicable Rate and Method. Such Special Taxes collected by the City shall first be applied to fund annual administrative expenses of the Community Facilities District allocated to such Improvement Area and then to fund Improvements in the same manner as the proceeds of Bonds as set forth herein. Upon sale and delivery of the Bonds for an Improvement Area, the City shall annually levy the Special Tax as provided for in documents pursuant to which the Bonds were issued. Following the issuance of the Bonds for an Improvement Area, the City shall have no obligation to levy Special Taxes with such Improvement Area to reimburse the Developer for the costs of any Improvements not paid for from Bond proceeds of such Improvement Area. The entire amount of any Special Tax levied by the Community Facilities District within an Improvement Area to repay the Bonds for such Improvement Area and recover costs and expenses allowable pursuant to Government Code Section 53313.5, shall be allocated to such Improvement Area. 7 4812-8073-2134v2/022042-0035 SECTION 4. NOTICE OF SPECIAL TAX Developer, or Developer’s successors or assigns, shall provide written notice to all potential initial purchasers of lots advising of the special tax obligation applicable to the Developer Property in the form required by Section 53341.5 of the Government Code. A sample copy as prepared by Developer is attached as Exhibit “C.” SECTION 5. DESIGN PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS The requirements of this Section shall not apply to any City Improvement that was complete (as determined by the City Council) prior to the adoption by the City Council of the resolution forming the CFD, but they shall apply to all other City Improvements. All plans, specifications and bid documents for the City Improvements (“Plans”) constructed or to be constructed by the Developer shall be prepared by the Developer at the Developer’s initial expense, subject to approval by the applicable public agency. Costs for preparation of the Plans will be eligible for reimbursement, conditioned upon the final approval of the applicable public agency and the availability of funds. Reimbursement of costs for plan revisions will be considered on a case by case basis. All facilities shall be bid in accordance with “public works” requirements of Section 6.4 to be eligible for reimbursement. The Developer shall not award bids for construction, or commence or cause commencement of construction, of a City Improvement until the Plans and bidding documents have been approved by the City. The bid opening for City Improvements shall be coordinated with and take place at the City’s facilities, with City personnel in attendance. SECTION 6. CONSTRUCTION OF IMPROVEMENTS The requirements of this Section shall not apply to any City Improvement that was complete (as determined by the City Council) prior to the adoption by the City Council of the resolution forming the CFD, but they shall apply to all other City Improvements. 6.1 Construction or Acquisition Election. Upon the approval of Plans for a City Improvement, the Developer and the City shall determine whether the Developer will provide for construction of such City Improvement in accordance with Sections 6.2, 6.4 and 7 of this Agreement (the “Acquisition Election”) or whether the City will provide for construction of such City Improvement in accordance with Section 6.3 of this Agreement (the “Construction Election”). Sections 6.2, 6.4 and 7 specify the requirements for construction of the City Improvements pursuant to the Acquisition Election that the City believes are necessary to ensure that such City Improvements are constructed as if they had been constructed under the direction and supervision, or under the authority of the City. 6.2 Acquisition Election. If the Acquisition Election is selected with respect to City Improvements in accordance with the provisions of Section 7 hereof, a qualified engineering firm (the “Field Engineer”) shall be employed by the Developer to provide all field engineering surveys determined to be necessary by the City’s inspection personnel. Field Engineer shall promptly furnish to City a complete set of grade sheets listing all locations, offsets, etc., in accordance with good engineering practices, and attendant data and reports resulting from Field Engineer’s engineering surveys and/or proposed facility design changes. City shall have the right, but not the obligation, to review, evaluate and analyze whether such results comply with applicable specifications. 8 4812-8073-2134v2/022042-0035 A full-time soil-testing firm, approved by City, shall be employed by the Developer to conduct soil compaction testing and certification. The Developer shall promptly furnish results of all such compaction testing to the City for its review, evaluation and decision as to compliance with applicable specifications. In the event the compaction is not in compliance with applicable specifications, the Developer shall be fully liable and responsible for the costs of achieving compliance. A final report certifying all required compaction in accordance with the specifications shall be a condition of final acceptance of facilities. The costs of all surveying, testing and reports associated with the City Improvements furnished and constructed by the Developer’s contractor(s) shall be eligible to be paid from funds in the City Improvements Account. The City shall not be responsible for conducting any environmental, archaeological, biological, or cultural studies or any mitigation requirements that may be requested by appropriate Federal, State, and/or local agencies. Any such work shall be paid for and conducted by the Developer and reimbursed out of the City Improvements Account. Notwithstanding the selection of the Acquisition Election with respect to a City Improvement, should the Developer notify the City that the Developer is unable to complete such City Improvement, the City shall have the right but not the obligation to require the Developer to make an irrevocable offer of dedication to the City of the land owned by the Developer for the City Improvement identified in the notice and to assume responsibility for the work to be performed thereunder. In the event the City elects to assume the responsibility for any work on a previously awarded contract as described in the preceding sentence, the following will occur: (i) the Developer will make an irrevocable offer of dedication to the City of the land owned by the Developer for such City Improvement identified in the notice; (ii) to the extent permitted by law and the applicable contract, the Developer will assign all of the contracts for the work performed to date on the City Improvement identified in the notice to the City, if requested to do so by the City Manager; the City will use its best efforts to complete the City Improvement within a reasonable time frame; and upon completion of the City Improvement, to the extent there are Special Taxes or proceeds of the Bonds available following payment to the City for the costs of completing such City Improvement, the Developer will be reimbursed for the lesser of the cost or value of the previously unreimbursed satisfactory work performed or paid for by the Developer. The cost of such work will be determined by taking the unreimbursed amounts expended by the Developer under the contract(s) taken over by the City and deducting any incremental cost incurred by the City to complete the work under the contracts in question. Incremental cost shall be costs in excess of the sum of the original contract cost plus change orders approved by the City. 6.3 Construction Election. The Developer and the City shall agree on which Improvements shall be constructed by the Developer and which shall be constructed by the City. If the Construction Election is selected, upon the award of a construction contract for a City Improvement to be constructed by the City, funds in the City Improvements Account in an amount equal to the costs of the City Improvement, shall be reserved for payments under such contract and shall not be available for the funding of other City Improvements until all payments required by such contract have been made. At the time of either or both (i) the execution of a contract for the construction of a City Improvement as to which the Construction Election has been made, and (ii) completion of construction of the City Improvement, the Developer shall be entitled to reimbursement from funds in the City Improvements Account of any actual costs of the City Improvements incurred by the Developer at that time. 9 4812-8073-2134v2/022042-0035 If Bonds have not been issued or insufficient funds are reserved in the Improvement Fund, the City agrees to accept advances of funds from the Developer (if the Developer agrees to make such advances in its sole discretion) upon the City’s award of a construction contract for a City Improvement to be constructed by the City in an amount equal to the difference between the amount of reserved funds and the contract amount. The amount of such advances shall be reimbursed to the Developer to the extent of funds in the City Improvements Account. PUBLIC WORKS REQUIREMENTS 6.4 City Requirements. In order that the City Improvements as to which the Acquisition Election is made may be properly and readily acquired by the City, the Developer shall comply with all of the following requirements with respect to any such City Improvements to be acquired with funds in the City Improvements Account, and the Developer shall provide such proof to the City as the City may reasonably require and at such intervals and in such form as the City may reasonably require, that the following requirements have been satisfied as to all such City Improvements: (a) The Developer shall prepare a bid package for review, comment and approval by the City Manager of the City or his designee (the “City Representative”). (b) The Developer shall, after obtaining at least three sealed bids for the construction of the City Improvements in conformance with the procedures and requirements of the City, submit to the City written evidence of such competitive bidding procedure, including evidence of the means by which bids were solicited, a listing of all responsive bids and their amounts, and the name or names of the contractor or contractors to whom the Developer proposes to award the contracts for such construction, which shall be the lowest responsible bidder. (c) The City Representative shall attend the bid opening. If unable to attend the bid opening, the City Representative shall approve or disapprove of a contractor or contractors, in writing, within five (5) business days after receipt from the Developer of the name or names of such contractor or contractors recommended by the Developer. If the City Representative disapproves of any such contractor; the Developer shall select the next lowest responsible bidder from the competitive bids received who is acceptable to the City Representative. (d) The specifications and bid and contract documents shall require all such contractors to pay prevailing wages and to otherwise comply with applicable provisions of the Labor Code, the Government Code and the Public Contract Code relating to public works projects and as required by the procedures and standards of the City with respect to the construction of its public works projects. (e) The Developer shall submit faithful performance and payment bonds with respect to the City Improvements for which the Acquisition Election is made and t he following documents shall be submitted to the City along with the performance and payment bonds: (i) The original, or a certified copy, of the unrevoked appointment, power of attorney, bylaws, or other instrument entitling or authorizing the person who executed the bond to do so; 10 4812-8073-2134v2/022042-0035 (ii) A certified copy of the certificate of authority of the insurer issued by the State of California’s Insurance Commissioner; and (iii) Copies of the insurer’s most recent annual and quarterly statements filed with the Department of Insurance. (f) The Developer and its contractor and subcontractors shall be required to provide proof of insurance coverage throughout the term of the construction of the City Improvements, which they will construct in conformance with the City’s standard procedures and requirements. The City’s insurance requirements are set out in Section 20 herein. (g) The Developer and all such contractors shall comply with such other requirements relating to the construction of the City Improvements which the City may impose by written notification delivered to the Developer and each such contractor at the time either prior to the receipt of bids by the Developer for the construction of such City Improvements or, to the extent required as a result of changes in applicable laws, dur ing the progress of construction thereof; provided that such other requirements shall only be imposed to the extent the City reasonably determines they are required in order to comply with applicable law. In accordance with Section 7, the Developer shall be deemed the awarding body and shall be solely responsible for compliance and enforcement of the provisions of the Labor Code, Government Code, and Public Contract Code. (h) A “Change Order” is an order from the Developer to a contractor authorizing a change in the work to be performed. The Developer shall receive comments from the City Representative prior to the Developer’s approval of any Change Order. The City Representative shall comment on or deny the Change Order request within five (5) business days of receipt of all necessary information. The City’s comments to a Change Order shall not be unreasonably delayed, conditioned or withheld. The Developer shall not be entitled to be compensated for costs associated with a “Change Order” that has not been approved by the City Representative. Developer shall provide proof to the City, at such intervals and in such form as the City may reasonably require, that the foregoing requirements have been satisfied as to all of the City Improvements as to which the Acquisition Election has been made which are funded through Bond proceeds. SECTION 7. INSPECTION; COMPLETION OF CONSTRUCTION The requirements of this Section shall not apply to any City Improvement that was complete (as determined by the City Council) prior to the adoption by the City Council of the resolution forming the CFD, but they shall apply to all other City Improvements. The City shall have primary responsibility for inspecting the City Improvements to assure that the work is being accomplished in accordance with the Plans. Such inspection does not include inspection for compliance with safety requirements by the Developer’s contractor(s). The City’s personnel shall be granted access to each construction site at all reasonable times for the purpose of accomplishing such inspection. Upon satisfaction of the City’s inspectors, the Developer shall notify the City in writing that a City Improvement has been completed in accordance with the Plans. Any actual costs reasonably incurred by the City for inspection not previously paid by the Developer shall be reimbursed from funds in the City Improvements Account. 11 4812-8073-2134v2/022042-0035 Within three (3) business days of receipt of written notification from City inspectors that a City Improvement has been completed in accordance with the Plans, the City Representative shall notify the Developer in writing that such City Improvement has been satisfactorily completed. Upon receiving such notification, the Developer shall file a Notice of Completion with the County of Riverside Recorders Office, pursuant to the provisions of Section 3093 of the Civil Code. The Developer shall furnish to the City a duplicate copy of each such Notice of Completion showing thereon the date of filing with the County of Riverside (the “County”). City will in turn file a notice with the County for acceptance. SECTION 8. LIENS With respect to any City Improvement that was complete (as determined by the City Council) prior to the adoption by the City Council of the resolution forming the CFD, prior to any payment by the CFD to the Developer for such City Improvement, the Developer shall provide to the City such evidence or proof as the City shall require that all persons, firms and corporations supplying work, labor, materials, supplies and equipment for the construction of the City Improvements have been paid, and that no claims of liens have been recorded by or on behalf of any such person, firm or corporation. With respect to City Improvements, upon the earlier of (i) receipt of all applicable lien releases, or (ii) expiration of the time for the recording of claim of liens as prescribed by Sections 3115 and 3116 of the Civil Code, the Developer shall provide to the City such evidence or proof as the City shall require that all persons, firms and corporations supplying work, labor, materials, supplies and equipment for the construction of the City Improvements have been paid, and that no claims of liens have been recorded by or on behalf of any such person, firm or corporation. SECTION 9. ACQUISITION; ACQUISITION PRICE; SOURCE OF FUNDS The acquisition price of a City Improvement that was complete (as determined by the City Council) prior to the adoption by the City Council of the resolution forming the CFD shall be its fair market value, as determined by the City’s City Manager or his or her designee, as of the date of acquisition. The City shall consider input and data provided by the Developer prior to determining the final fair market value. The costs eligible to be included in the acquisition price of a City Improvement that is not described in the preceding paragraph (the “Actual Costs”) shall include: (i) The actual hard costs for the construction of such City Improvement as established by the City-approved construction contracts and approved Change Orders, including costs of payment, performance and maintenance bonds and insurance costs, pursuant to this Agreement; (ii) The design and engineering costs of such City Improvement including, without limitation, the costs incurred in preparing the Plans. Costs for plan revisions will be considered on a case by case basis; (iii) The costs of environmental evaluations and public agency permits and approvals attributable to the City Improvement; (iv) Costs incurred by the Developer for construction management and supervision of such City Improvement, in an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the actual hard construction costs described in clause (i) above; 12 4812-8073-2134v2/022042-0035 (v) Professional costs associated with the City Improvement such as engineering, inspection, construction staking, materials, testing and similar professional services; and (vi) Costs approved by the City in accordance with the Act of acquiring any real property or interests therein required for the City Improvement including, without limitation, any water tank sites, temporary construction easements, temporary by-pass road and maintenance easements. Provided the Developer has complied with the requirements of this Agreement, the City agrees to pay the acquisition price of a completed City Improvement to the Developer or its designee within thirty (30) days after the Developer’s satisfaction of the preconditions to such payment stated herein, but only to the extent there are sufficient funds available in the City Improvements Account. Except in the case of a City Improvement described in the first paragraph of this Section, the acquisition price to be paid from Bond proceeds for the acquisition of a City Improvement by the City shall be the least of (1) the value of the City Improvement; or (2) the total of the Actual Costs of the City Improvement. As a condition to the payment of the acquisition price, the ownership of the completed City Improvement shall be transferred to the City by grant deed, bill of sale or such other documentation as such public agency may require free and clear of all taxes, liens, encumbrances, and assessments, but subject to any exceptions determined by the City to not interfere with the actual or intended use of the land or interest therein (including the lien of a community facilities district so long as the subject property is exempt from taxation or is otherwise not taxable by such community facilities district). Upon the transfer of ownership of City Improvements or any portion thereof to the City, the City shall be responsible for the maintenance of such City Improvements or the portion transferred. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the acquisition price of a City Improvement may be paid prior to transfer of ownership and acceptance of the City Improvement if it is substantially completed at the time of payment. The City Improvement shall be considered “substantially complete” when it has been reasonably determined by the City to be usable, subject to final completion of such items as the final lift or any other items not essential to the primary use or operation of the City Improvement. If the acquisition price of a City Improvement is paid prior to transfer of ownership and acceptance based on it being “substantially complete”, Developer may, upon transfer of ownership of such City Improvement to the City, submit a second reimbursement request for any unpaid portion of the Actual Costs associated with completing such improvement. If the acquisition price of a City Improvement is paid prior to transfer of ownership and acceptance based on it being “substantially complete”, Developer may, upon transfer of ownership of such City Improvement to the City, submit a second reimbursement request for the additional Actual Costs associated with completing such improvement. For purposes of determining the acquisition price to be paid by the Community Facilities District for the acquisition of the City Improvements by the City (other than City Improvements described in the first paragraph of this Section), the value of such City Improvements shall include the construction costs specified in the City-approved contracts and City-approved Change Orders conforming to Section 6, as hereinbefore specified. City approval is a condition prior to initiation of contract work. However, if the City reasonably determines that the additional Actual Costs are excessive and that the value of the City Improvements is less than the total amount of such Actual Costs and such construction costs, the price to be paid for the acquisition of the City Improvements shall be the value thereof as determined by the Engineer, subject, however, to the Developer’s right to appeal to the City’s City Council. 13 4812-8073-2134v2/022042-0035 Upon completion of the construction of a City Improvement, the Developer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the City a Disbursement Request Form in substantially the form of Exhibit “D,” attached hereto, copies of the contract(s) with the contractor(s) who have constructed the City Improvement and other relevant documentation with regard to the payments made to such contractor(s) and each of them for the construction of the City Improvement, documentation evidencing payment of prevailing wages, and shall also provide to the City invoices and purchase orders with respect to all equipment, materials and labor purchased for the construction of the City Improvements. The City shall require the Engineer to complete its determination of the acquisition price of the City Improvements as promptly as is reasonably possible. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Section, the source of funds for the acquisition of the City Improvements or any portion thereof shall be funds in the City Improvements Account. If for any reason beyond the City’s control the Bonds are not sold, the City shall not be required to acquire the City Improvements from the Developer, except to the extent of funds from the collection of Special Taxes. In such event, the Developer shall complete the design and construction and offer to the City ownership of such portions of the City Improvements as are required to be constructed by the Developer as a condition to recordation of subdivision maps for the Developer Property (but only at such times as required by such condition), but need not construct any portion of the City Improvements which it is not so required to construct. Reimbursement for these facilities would be made from the collection of Special Taxes. In addition to the foregoing, the City shall have the right to withhold payment for acquisition of a City Improvement, if: (a) the Developer or any of its affiliates is delinquent in the payment of any Special Taxes levied by the Community Facilities District on properties then owned by the Developer or any of its affiliates within the CFD, or (b) the Developer is not then in substantial compliance with a condition or obligation imposed upon the Developer Property by the City, including but not limited to, payment of all applicable fees, dedication of all applicable rights-of-way or other property and construction requirements. The City shall immediately provide written notice to the Developer of the decision to withhold any such payment and shall specify the reason for such decision. If the payment is withheld as a result of the delinquency in the payment of Special Taxes, the notice shall identify the delinquent parcels and the amount of such delinquency. If the payment is withheld as a result of substantial non-compliance with a condition or obligation, the notice shall specify such condition or obligation and what action will be necessary by the Developer to substantially comply with such condition or obligation. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the City that the Developer has paid the delinquent Special Taxes or complied with the subject condition or obligation, the City shall forthwith make all payments which have been withheld pursuant to the provisions of this Section. SECTION 10. EASEMENTS AND/OR FEE TITLE OWNERSHIP DEEDS Without limiting the Developer’s rights to reimbursement for such grants pursuant to Section 9 above, the Developer shall, at the time the City acquires the City Improvements as provided in Section 9 hereof, grant or cause to be granted to the City, by appropriate instruments 14 4812-8073-2134v2/022042-0035 prescribed by the City, all easements across private property and/or fee title ownership deeds which may be reasonably necessary for the proper operation and maintenance of such City Improvements, or any part thereof, but only to the extent located within the Developer Property. SECTION 11. PERMITS The Developer shall be responsible for obtaining all necessary construction permits from the City and/or the County (as appropriate) covering construction and installation of the City Improvement as to which the Acquisition Election has been made. If applicable, the City will request the County to issue an “operate and maintain permit” to the City, which will become effective upon the completion of the City Improvements and acceptance of ownership therewith by the City. SECTION 12. MAINTENANCE Prior to the transfer of ownership of a City Improvement by the Developer to the City, as provided in Section 9 hereof, the Developer shall be responsible for the maintenance thereof and shall require its contractor(s) to repair all facilities damaged by any party other than the City, prior to acceptance by the City and/or make corrections determined to be necessary by the City’s inspection personnel. The City shall not be permitted to place any City Improvement in service prior to acceptance of the same, unless the Developer otherwise consents in writing. SECTION 13. INSPECTION OF RECORDS The City shall have the right to review all books and records of the Developer pertaining to the costs and expenses incurred by the Developer for the design and construction of the City Improvements during normal business hours by making arrangements with the Deve loper. The Developer shall have the right to review all books and records of the City pertaining to costs and expenses incurred by the City for services of the Engineer by making arrangements with the City. SECTION 14. OWNERSHIP OF IMPROVEMENTS Notwithstanding the fact that some or all of the City Improvements may be constructed in dedicated street rights-of-way or on property which has been or will be dedicated to the City, each City Improvement shall be and remain the property of the Developer until acquired by the City as provided in this Agreement. SECTION 15. MATERIALS AND WORKMANSHIP WARRANTY The requirements of this Section shall not apply to any City Improvement that was complete (as determined by the City Council) prior to the adoption by the City Council of the resolution forming the CFD, but they shall apply to all other City Improvements. Upon the completion of the acquisition of a City Improvement by the City, the performance bond related to such individual City Improvement provided by the Developer pursuant to Section 6.4(e) hereof, shall be reduced by 90%, and the remaining 10% shall serve as a maintenance bond to guarantee that such City Improvement will be free from defects due to faulty workmanship or materials for a period of one year. 15 4812-8073-2134v2/022042-0035 SECTION 16. CITY FEE FACILITY IMPROVEMENTS The Developer may be required pursuant to the conditions of development or the fee ordinance to pay certain City fees (the “City Fees”) relating to the City Fee Facility Improvements prior to the availability of proceeds of the Bonds to pay for such City Fee Facility Improvements. In the event such City Fees are paid prior to the availability of Bond proceeds, the amounts paid to the City shall be deemed to be deposits (each a “Deposit”) that are subject to refund by the City to the Developer in accordance with this Agreement. The City shall place each Deposit in a capital facilities account(s). If the Developer has made any Deposits to the City, then following deposit of Bond proceeds in the City Fee Facility Improvements Account, the City shall return to the Developer, from the capital account in which the Deposits were deposited the Deposits not previously returned, without interest or other earnings thereon. The City shall be so obligated to return such Deposits only to the extent that an equiva lent amount of the Deposits to be returned is deposited in the City Fee Facility Improvements Account from Bond proceeds or Special Tax collections prior to the issuance of Bonds. Bond proceeds used to finance City Improvements which relate to the City Fees shall be allocated first for return of all Deposits prior to being allocated to the payment of City Fees not previously deposited by the Developer. Any Deposits that have not been returned to the Developer at the time it is determined that there will be no further Bond proceeds available (i.e. the final series of Bonds to finance the Improvements have been issued) shall be retained by the City and may be used for the purposes for which the City Fee was required, and the unrefunded Deposits shall constitute full and final payment for such City Fees, without any increase of any kind. SECTION 17. MISCELLANEOUS IMPROVEMENTS. Improvements unrelated to the City Improvements and the City Fee Facility Improvements, if applicable, will be supplemented by the terms contained in an addendum which will appear as Exhibit “E” hereto. The amounts deposited in the applicable Miscellaneous Improvement Account(s), if any, will be disbursed for the acquisition or construction of Miscellaneous Improvements in accordance with the provisions in the applicable Joint Community Facilities Agreement, if any. Any amounts in the applicable Miscellaneous Improvement Account(s) shall be disbursed at the written direction of the City upon Developer’s submittal of an addendum which will appear as the applicable entity’s Disbursement Request Form provided for in the Joint Community Facilities Agreement. Upon receipt of the Disbursement Request Form, the City shall submit a written requisition for payment of the requested amount to the trustee for the Bonds, who shall directly pay the amount requested to the applicable entity. SECTION 18. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR In performing this Agreement, Developer is an independent contractor and not the agent of the City. The City shall not have any responsibility for payment to any contractor or supplier of Developer. It is not intended by the Parties that this Agreement create a partnership or joint venture among them and this Agreement shall not otherwise be construed. SECTION 19. INDEMNIFICATION Developer shall assume the defense of, indemnify and save harmless, the City, its officers, employees and agents, and the Community Facilities District, its officers, employees and agents, from and against all actions, damages, claims, losses or expenses of every type and description 16 4812-8073-2134v2/022042-0035 to which they may be subject or put, by reason of, or resulting from such person’s or entity’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement, the issuance of the Bonds and the construction of the City Improvements and the Miscellaneous Improvements (provided, however, that such indemnification shall not apply to any City Improvement that the City constructs itself pursuant to Section 6.3 of this Agreement), the failure of the Developer to provide notice of the Special Tax to be levied by the Community Facilities District pursuant to Section 53341.5 of the Act (but only if the Developer is required by law to provide such notice), or arising out of any alleged misstatements of fact or alleged omission of a material fact made by the Developer, its officers, directors, employees or agents to the City, the Community Facilities District, the underwriter of the Bonds and its counsel, the appraiser, the special tax consultant, the market absorption consultant or bond counsel regarding the Developer, its proposed developments, its property ownership, and any contractual arrangement it may enter into in a disclosure document describing the Community Facilities District and the risks relating to the Bonds. No provision of this Agreement shall in any way limit the extent of Developer’s responsibility for payment of damages resulting from the operations of Developer and its contractors; provided, however that Developer shall not be required to assume the defense or indemnify and save harm less any person or entity as to actions, damages, claims, losses or expenses resulting from the breach of this Agreement, the negligence or willful misconduct of such person or entity or their officers, agents, consultants or employees. SECTION 20. INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS Neither the Developer nor its contractor shall commence work on a City Improvement under this Agreement prior to obtaining insurance with a company or companies acceptable to the City, nor shall the Developer’s contractor allow any subcontractor to commence work on its subcontract until all insurance required of the subcontractor has been obtained. The Developer shall, during the life of this Agreement, notify the City in writing of any incident giving rise to any potential bodily injury or property damage claim and any resultant settlements, whether in conjunction with this or any other project which may affect the limits of the required coverage, as soon as is reasonable and practical. SECTION 21. CONFLICT WITH OTHER AGREEMENTS Except as specifically provided herein, nothing contained herein shall be construed as releasing Developer from any condition of development or requirement imposed by any other agreement with City. In the event of a conflicting provision, such other agreement shall prevail unless such conflicting provision is specifically waived or modified in writing by City. SECTION 22. TERMINATION The provisions of this Agreement related to the financing of the Improvements shall terminate and be of no further force or effect on December 31, 2031. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement shall not terminate pursuant to the previous sentence if, on December 31, 2031, all of the building permits within the Community Facilities District have been pulled, construction within the Community Facilities District, as contemplated by the parties hereto, is ongoing, and the Developer has not yet received a full return of all Deposits or full reimbursement for the Miscellaneous Improvements from Special Taxes. 17 4812-8073-2134v2/022042-0035 SECTION 23. NOTICES Any notice, payment or instrument required or permitted by this Agreement to be given or delivered to either Party shall be deemed to have been received when personally delivered or seventy-two (72) hours following deposit of the same in any United States Post Office in California, registered or certified, postage prepaid.

Upon receiving such written notification from the Property Owner, and upon receipt of written notification from its inspectors that construction of any of the Acquisition Facilities by Property Owner has been Substantially Completed, the EVMWD shall in a timely manner notify the Property Owner in writing that the construction of such Acquisition Facilities has been satisfactorily completed. Upon receiving such notification, the Property Owner shall forthwith file with the County Recorder of the County of Riverside a Notice of Completion in accordance with procedures of the County of Riverside. The Property Owner shall furnish to the EVMWD a duplicate copy of each such Notice of Completion showing thereon the date of filing with the County Recorder.

Section 3.5 Acquisition, Acquisition Price; Source of Funds.

Upon the transfer of ownership of the Acquisition Facilities or any portion thereof from the Property Owner to EVMWD, EVMWD shall be responsible for the maintenance of the Acquisition Facilities or the portion transferred. For purposes of determining the Acquisition Price to be paid by the CFD for the acquisition of the Acquisition Facilities by EVMWD, the value of such improvements shall be the amount determined by the Engineer, to be the value of the Acquisition Facilities based on the Actual Costs submitted by the Property Owner, as hereinbefore specified; provided, however, that if the Engineer determines that such Actual Costs, or any of them, are excessive and that the value of the Acquisition Facilities is less than the total amount of such Actual Costs, the Acquisition Price to be paid by the CFD for the acquisition of the Acquisition Facilities shall be the value thereof as determined by the Engineer. Upon completion of the construction of any Acquisition Facilities by Property Owner, the Property Owner shall deliver to EVMWD copies of the contract(s) with the Contractor(s) who have constructed the Acquisition Facilities or other relevant documentation with regard to the payments made to such Contractor(s) and each of them for the construction of such Acquisition Facilities, and shall also provide to EVMWD copies of all invoices and purchase orders with respect to all supplies and materials purchased for the construction of such Acquisition Facilities. EVMWD shall require the Engineer to complete its determination of the value of the Acquisition Facilities as promptly as is reasonably possible. The Acquisition Price of any Acquisition Facilities may be determined and paid out of the EVMWD Facilities Fund prior to transfer of ownership of the Acquisition Facilities to EVMWD upon a determination of Substantial Completion of such Acquisition Facility. Upon transfer of ownership of an Acquisition Facilities to EVMWD, Property Owner may submit a second reimbursement request for “punch list” items and any other eligible costs not included in the initial request. Property Owner shall submit a payment request form to the CFD in the format and with the information required by the Funding Agreement, which must also contain therewith approval of EVMWD, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this section, the sole source of funds for the acquisition by EVMWD of the Acquisition Facilities or any portion thereof shall be the Bond Proceeds made available by the CFD pursuant to Section 2.3 above. If for any reason beyond EVMWD’s control, the Bonds are not sold, EVMWD shall not be required to acquire any Acquisition Facilities from the Property Owner. In such event, the Property Owner shall complete the design and construction and offer to the EVMWD ownership of such portions of Acquisition Facilities as are required to be constructed by the Property Owner as a condition to recordation of subdivision maps for the Property or any other agreement between Property Owner and EVMWD, but need not construct any portion of the Acquisition Facilities which it is not so required to construct. Section 3.6 Easements. The Property Owner shall, at the time EVMWD acquires the Acquisition Facilities as provided in Section 3.2 hereof, grant to EVMWD, by appropriate instruments prescribed by EVMWD, all easements on private property which may be reasonably necessary for the proper operation and maintenance of such Acquisition Facilities, or any part thereof. 10 4820-1532-4902v2/022042-0035 Section 3.7 Maintenance. Prior to the transfer of ownership of an Acquisition Facility by the Property Owner to the EVMWD, as provided in Section 3.5 hereof, the Property Owner shall be responsible for the maintenance thereof and shall maintain and transfer such Acquisition Facility to EVMWD in as good condition as the Acquisition Facility was in at the time the Property Owner notified the EVMWD that construction of same had been completed in accordance with the Plans and Specifications. The Parties agree that the construction and acquisition of the Acquisition Facilities to be constructed by Property Owner is a matter between Property Owner and EVMWD only, and that the City and the CFD shall have no responsibility for on-site inspection or monitoring or for certifying that the provisions of Article III of this Agreement be satisfied.
