First Quarter Budget Status Report – 2026/2027 City of Fontana October 13, 2026
Significant Economic Trends
Nationally:
• The national economy continued to show positive growth entering the first quarter of FY 2026–27. The latest available estimate showed that real gross domestic product (GDP) increased at an annual rate of 1.5% in the second quarter of 2026, following a 2.1% increase in the first quarter.
Growth was supported by increases in consumer spending, exports, and investment, while government spending decreased. • The national labor market remained relatively stable during the first quarter of FY 2026–27. Through August 2026, the unemployment rate remained at approximately 4.1%, while employers added approximately 162,000 jobs in August. Job gains were reported in several industries, including food services and local government education, while the information sector experienced job losses.
The State of California:
• California’s labor market remained relatively stable during the first quarter of FY 2026–27. Through August 2026, the state’s unemployment rate remained at approximately 5.1%, compared with 5.5% in August 2025. California added approximately 39,400 jobs in August and had 138,500 more payroll jobs than a year earlier. Employment gains were led by private education and health services, followed by government employment.
City of Fontana
• Fiscal Year 2025/26 ended with 430 single family dwelling permits being issued. At the end of September 2026, 43 single family dwelling permits have been issued compared to 143 permits for the prior fiscal year. • First Quarter 2026/27 sales were 5.1% higher than the same quarter one year ago. This is primarily due to a slightly stronger economy, higher taxable sales, shifts in consumer behavior, and timing of revenue reporting. • The Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) is currently paying 3.92% (daily rate) on City investments as of September 30, 2026, down from 4.19% for the same time last year. The 2-year treasury benchmark rate as of September 30, 2026, is 4.85% up from 3.60% compared to the same time last year.

General Fund Revenues
Revenues continue to be monitored on a monthly basis. Staff recommends a net increase in revenues of $58,030 as part of the First Quarter Budget Status Report. See page 35 for details of the revenue adjustments.
NOTE: Property Tax in-lieu of VLF collections are lagging due to the State’s distribution which provides for lump-sum payments in January and May. Interest revenue is received starting in October and is followed by a year-end accrual for a full twelve months of interest. A large number of Business Licenses are renewable in December. A large share of Franchise revenues is received annually in the month of April. When adjusted for these anomalies, the percent of recommended budget received is 10.20%.

Conclusion
The City Council has provided fiscal policy direction that has laid the foundation for the 2026/2027 Operating Budget's conservative approach to revenues and expenditures. The recommended budget changes included in the First Quarter Budget Report continue to adhere to City Council Policy.
As stated by the City Council’s Mission Statement below, the City of Fontana embraces every opportunity to enrich the lives of those who reside in this community, and this is possible due to its committed elected leadership and the talents and ingenuity of the individuals in this community and organization.

Though there are still great challenges ahead, the City is firmly committed to meeting each and every challenge that comes our way. “We seek and embrace every opportunity to enrich the lives of those who live, work, play and invest in the City of Fontana.” Mission Statement Adopted April 26, 2022

· Practice sound fiscal management by developing long-term funding and debt management plans.
DISCUSSION:
On May 14, 2024, the City Council authorized the formation of City of Fontana Community Facilities District No. 113 (The Gardens Phase Two) (the District) and conducted a special election to levy a special tax within the District. This project consists of 388 residential lots located along the west side of Citrus Avenue, just south of Duncan Canyon Road, with homes being constructed by Risewell Homes and Richmond American Homes. The project is part of the master planned community known as “The Arboretum,” which is being developed by the North Fontana Investment Company, an affiliate of The Lewis Group of Companies (the Master Developer).
During the period in which the Acquisition and Funding Agreement was created, additional improvement costs were identified. The overall costs have increased by $19,089,501 for the street, sewer, storm drain, landscape, traffic signal, and rights-of-way components since the formation of the District, necessitating an amendment to the original Acquisition Agreement.
Proceeds of the Bonds will be used primarily to acquire public improvements constructed by the Master Developer or public improvements to be constructed by the City.
In order to issue the Bonds, it is necessary to execute documents and agreements relating to the District. The recommended action complies with the City’s debt management strategy.
The following documents, in their materially correct form, are attached hereto:

Agenda #: B. Category: New Business
1. Authorizing Resolution;
2. Indenture;
3. Continuing Disclosure Agreement;
4. First Amendment to Acquisition Agreement;
5. Bond Purchase Agreement;
6. Preliminary Official Statement and;
7. Appraisal Report
Government Code Section 5852.1 requires the City to obtain and disclose a good faith estimate of certain information about the Bonds, including the true interest cost, the financing costs, the use of proceeds and the total payment amount, and the information is included in Exhibit A of the Authorizing Resolution.
The Official Statement is the primary disclosure document for investors in the Bonds. A Preliminary Official Statement will be circulated to potential investors prior to the pricing of the Bonds, a draft of which is attached to this staff report. After the Bonds have been priced, a Final Official Statement will be circulated to investors; the Final Official Statement should be identical to the Preliminary Official Statement except for the addition of pricing information (principal amount, interest rates, redemption terms). The Preliminary Official Statement has been reviewed and approved for transmittal to the City Council by the City’s financing team. The distribution of the Preliminary Official Statement by the City is subject to federal securities laws, including the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These laws require the Preliminary Official Statement to include all facts that would be material to an investor in the 2026 Bonds. Material information is information that there is a substantial likelihood would have actual significance in the deliberations of the reasonable investor when deciding whether to buy or sell the bonds. If the City Council concludes that the Preliminary Official Statement includes all facts that would be material to an investor in the Bonds, it must adopt a resolution that authorizes staff to execute a certificate to the effect that the Preliminary Official Statement has been “deemed final.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Most of the issuance costs are contingent upon the sale of the Bonds and will be paid from proceeds of the Bonds, the Special Taxes levied within the District, or from a deposit advanced by the Master Developer. Annual debt service and maintenance costs will be paid from special taxes levied on the landowners within the District.
MOTION:
Approve staff recommendation.

EXHIBIT A
GOOD FAITH ESTIMATES
The good faith estimates set forth herein are provided with respect to the Series 2026 Bonds in accordance with Section 5852.1 of the California Government Code. Such good faith estimates have been provided to the Community Facilities District by the Municipal Advisor, which the Municipal Advisor has prepared in consultation with the Underwriter, and is based on market conditions as of September 10, 2026.
Principal Amount. The Municipal Advisor has informed the Community Facilities District that, based on the Community Facilities District’s financing plan and current market conditions, its good faith estimate of the aggregate principal amount of the Series 2026 Bonds to be issued and sold is $18,450,000 (the “Estimated Principal Amount”), which does not include approximately $219,000 of net original issue discount estimated to be generated based on current market conditions. Net original issue discount is generated when, on a net aggregate basis for a single issuance of bonds, the price paid for such bonds is less than the face value of such bonds. Such Estimated Principal Amount less such estimated net original issue discount amount would produce approximately $18,231,000 of gross proceeds.
True Interest Cost of the Series 2026 Bonds. The Municipal Advisor has informed the Community Facilities District that, assuming that the Estimated Principal Amount of the Series 2026 Bonds is issued and sold, and based on market interest rates prevailing at the time of preparation of such estimate, its good faith estimate of the true interest cost of the Series 2026 Bonds, which means the rate necessary to discount the amounts payable on the respective principal and interest payment dates to the purchase price received for the Series 2026 Bonds, is 5.43%.
Finance Charge of the Series 2026 Bonds. The Municipal Advisor has informed the Community Facilities District that, assuming that the Estimated Principal Amount of the Series 2026 Bonds is issued and sold, and based on market interest rates prevailing at the time of preparation of such estimate, its good faith estimate of the finance charge for the Series 2026 Bonds, which means the sum of all fees and charges paid to third parties (or costs associated with the Series 2026 Bonds), is $450,000.
Amount of Proceeds to be Received. The Municipal Advisor has informed the Community Facilities District that, assuming that the Estimated Principal Amount of the Series 2026 Bonds is issued and sold, and based on market interest rates prevailing at the time of preparation of such estimate, its good faith estimate of the amount of proceeds expected to be received by the Community Facilities District for sale of the Series 2026 Bonds, less the finance charge of the Series 2026 Bonds, as estimated above, and any reserves or capitalized interest paid or funded with proceeds of the Series 2026 Bonds, is $16,479,000.
Total Payment Amount. The Municipal Advisor has informed the Community Facilities District that, assuming that the Estimated Principal Amount of the Series 2026 813
A-2
Bonds is issued and sold, and based on market interest rates prevailing at the time of preparation of such estimate, its good faith estimate of the total payment amount, which means the sum total of all payments the Community Facilities District will make to pay debt service on the Series 2026 Bonds, plus the finance charge for the Series 2026 Bonds, as described above, not paid with the proceeds of the Series 2026 Bonds, calculated to the final maturity of the Series 2026 Bonds, is $37,777,000, which excludes any reserves (or interest accrued thereon) or capitalized interest funded or paid with proceeds of the Series 2026 Bonds (which may offset such total payment amount).
The foregoing estimates constitute good faith estimates only and are based on market conditions prevailing at the time of preparation of such estimates. The actual principal amount of the Series 2026 Bonds issued and sold, the true interest cost thereof, the finance charges thereof, the amount of proceeds received therefrom and total payment amount with respect thereto may differ from such good faith estimates due to (a) the actual date of the sale of the Series 2026 Bonds being different than the date assumed for purposes of such estimates, (b) the actual principal amount of Series 2026 Bonds issued and sold being different from the Estimated Principal Amount, (c) the actual amortization of the Series 2026 Bonds being different than the amortization assumed for purposes of such estimates, (d) the actual market interest rates at the time of sale of the Series 2026 Bonds being different than those estimated for purposes of such estimates, (e) other market conditions, or (f) alterations in the Community Facilities District’s financing plan, or a combination of such factors. The actual date of sale of the Series 2026 Bonds and the actual principal amount of Series 2026 Bonds issued and sold will be determined by the Community Facilities District based on the timing of the need for proceeds of the Series 2026 Bonds and other factors. The actual interest rates borne by the Series 2026 Bonds will depend on market interest rates at the time of sale thereof.
The actual amortization of the Series 2026 Bonds will also depend, in part, on market interest rates at the time of sale thereof. Market interest rates are affected by economic and other factors beyond the control of the Community Facilities District. 814

Upon presentation for such purpose, the Trustee shall, under such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, register or transfer or cause to be registered or transferred, on such records, the ownership of the Bonds.
Section 2.06. Transfer and Exchange of Bonds. (a) Any Bond may be transferred upon the Registration Books by the Person in whose name it is registered, in person or by such Person’s duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of such Bond to the Trustee for cancellation, accompanied by delivery of a written instrument of transfer, duly executed in a form acceptable to the Trustee. Whenever any Bond or Bonds shall be so surrendered for transfer, the Community Facilities District shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and shall deliver a new Bond or Bonds of the same Series and maturity in a like aggregate principal amount, in any Authorized Denomination. The Trustee shall require the Owner requesting such transfer to pay any tax or other governmental charge required to be paid with respect to such transfer. (b) The Bonds may be exchanged at the Office of the Trustee for a like aggregate principal amount of Bonds of the same Series and maturity of other Authorized Denominations.
The Trustee shall require the payment by the Owner requesting such exchange of any tax or other governmental charge required to be paid with respect to such exchange. (c) The Trustee shall not be obligated to make any transfer or exchange of Bonds of a Series pursuant to this Section during the period established by the Trustee for the selection of Bonds of such Series for redemption, or with respect to any Bonds of such Series selected for redemption.
Section 2.07. Book-Entry System. (a) Prior to the issuance of a Series of Bonds, the Community Facilities District may provide that such Series of Bonds shall initially be issued as Book-Entry Bonds, and in such event, the Bonds of such Series for each maturity date shall be in the form of a separate single fully registered Bond (which may be typewritten). Upon initial issuance, the ownership of each such Bond of such Series shall be registered in the Registration Books in the name of the Nominee, as nominee of the Depository. The Series 2026 Bonds shall initially be issued as Book-Entry Bonds.
Payment of principal of, and interest and premium, if any, on, any Book-Entry Bond registered in the name of the Nominee shall be made on the applicable payment date by wire transfer of New York clearing house or equivalent next day funds or by wire transfer of same day funds to the account of the Nominee. Such payments shall be made to the Nominee at the address that is, on the Record Date, shown for the Nominee in the Registration Books. (b) With respect to Book-Entry Bonds, the Community Facilities District and the Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation to any Participant or to any Person on behalf of which such a Participant holds an interest in such Book-Entry Bonds. Without limiting the 834
15 4137-4438-8716.2
immediately preceding sentence, the Community Facilities District and the Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation with respect to (i) the accuracy of the records of the Depository, the Nominee or any Participant with respect to any ownership interest in Book-Entry Bonds, (ii) the delivery to any Participant or any other Person, other than an Owner as shown in the Registration Books, of any notice with respect to Book-Entry Bonds, including any notice of redemption, (iii) the selection by the Depository and its Participants of the beneficial interests in Book-Entry Bonds of a maturity to be redeemed in the event such Book-Entry Bonds are redeemed in part, (iv) the payment to any Participant or any other Person, other than an Owner as shown in the Registration Books, of any amount with respect to principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on Book-Entry Bonds, or (v) any consent given or other action taken by the Depository as Owner. (c) The Community Facilities District and the Trustee may treat and consider the Person in whose name each Book-Entry Bond is registered in the Registration Books as the absolute Owner of such Book-Entry Bond for the purpose of payment of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on such Bond, for the purpose of selecting any Bonds, or portions thereof, to be redeemed, for the purpose of giving notices of redemption and other matters with respect to such Book-Entry Bond, for the purpose of registering transfers with respect to such Book-Entry Bond, for the purpose of obtaining any consent or other action to be taken by Owners and for all other purposes whatsoever, and the Community Facilities District and the Trustee shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.
(d) In the event of a redemption of all or a portion of a Book-Entry Bond, the Depository, in its discretion (i) may request the Trustee to authenticate and deliver a new BookEntry Bond, or (ii) if the Depository is the sole Owner of such Book-Entry Bond, shall make an appropriate notation on the Book-Entry Bond indicating the date and amounts of the reduction in principal thereof resulting from such redemption, except in the case of final payment, in which case such Book-Entry Bond must be presented to the Trustee prior to payment. (e) The Trustee shall pay all principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on the Book-Entry Bonds only to or “upon the order of” (as that term is used in the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted in the State) the respective Owner, as shown in the Registration Books, or such Owner’s respective attorney duly authorized in writing, and all such payments shall be valid and effective to fully satisfy and discharge the obligations with respect to payment of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on the Book-Entry Bonds to the extent of the sum or sums so paid.
No Person other than an Owner, as shown in the Registration Books, shall receive an authenticated Book-Entry Bond. Upon delivery by the Depository to the Owners, the Community Facilities District and the Trustee of written notice to the effect that the Depository has determined to substitute a new nominee in place of the Nominee, and subject to the provisions herein with respect to Record Dates, the word Nominee in this Indenture shall refer to such nominee of the Depository. (f) In order to qualify the Book-Entry Bonds for the Depository’s book-entry system, the Community Facilities District shall execute and deliver to the Depository a Letter of Representations. The execution and delivery of a Letter of Representations shall not in any way impose upon the Community Facilities District or the Trustee any obligation whatsoever with respect to Persons having interests in such Book-Entry Bonds other than the Owners, as shown on the Registration Books. Such Letter of Representations may provide the time, form, content and manner of transmission, of notices to the Depository. In addition to the execution and delivery of 835
16 4137-4438-8716.2
a Letter of Representations by the Community Facilities District, the Community Facilities District and the Trustee shall take such other actions, not inconsistent with this Indenture, as are reasonably necessary to qualify Book-Entry Bonds for the Depository’s book-entry program. (g) In the event the Community Facilities District determines that it is in the best interests of the Beneficial Owners that they be able to obtain certificated Bonds and that such Bonds should therefore be made available, and notifies the Depository and the Trustee of such determination, the Depository will notify the Participants of the availability through the Depository of certificated Bonds. In such event, the Trustee shall transfer and exchange certificated Bonds as requested by the Depository and any other Owners in appropriate amounts. In the event (i) the Depository determines not to continue to act as securities depository for Book-Entry Bonds, or (ii) the Depository shall no longer so act and gives notice to the Trustee of such determination, then the Community Facilities District shall discontinue the Book-Entry system with the Depository. If the Community Facilities District determines to replace the Depository with another qualified securities depository, the Community Facilities District shall prepare or direct the preparation of a new single, separate, fully registered Bond of the appropriate Series for each maturity date of such Book-Entry Bonds, registered in the name of such successor or substitute qualified securities depository or its nominee. If the Community Facilities District fails to identify another qualified securities depository to replace the Depository, then the Book-Entry Bonds shall no longer be restricted to being registered in the Registration Books in the name of the Nominee, but shall be registered in whatever name or names the Owners transferring or exchanging such Bonds shall designate, in accordance with the provisions of Sections 2.06, 2.08 and 2.09. Whenever the Depository requests the Community Facilities District to do so, the Community Facilities District shall cooperate with the Depository in taking appropriate action after reasonable notice (i) to make available one or more separate certificates evidencing the Book-Entry Bonds to any Participant having Book-Entry Bonds credited to its account with the Depository, and (ii) to arrange for another securities depository to maintain custody of certificates evidencing the Book-Entry Bonds. (h) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture to the contrary, if the Depository is the sole Owner of the Bonds of a Series, so long as any Book-Entry Bond of such Series is registered in the name of the Nominee, all payments of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on such Book-Entry Bond and all notices with respect to such Book-Entry Bond shall be made and given, respectively, as provided in the Letter of Representations or as otherwise instructed by the Depository.
(i) In connection with any notice or other communication to be provided to Owners pursuant to this Indenture by the Community Facilities District or the Trustee, with respect to any consent or other action to be taken by Owners of Book-Entry Bonds, the Trustee shall establish a record date for such consent or other action and give the Depository notice of such record date not less than 15 calendar days in advance of such record date to the extent possible.
Section 2.08. Bonds Mutilated, Lost, Destroyed or Stolen. If any Bond shall become mutilated, the Community Facilities District, at the expense of the Owner of said Bond, shall execute, and the Trustee shall thereupon authenticate and deliver, a new Bond of the same Series and maturity in a like principal amount in exchange and substitution for the Bond so mutilated, but only upon surrender to the Trustee of the Bond so mutilated. Every mutilated Bond so surrendered to the Trustee shall be canceled by it and delivered to, or upon the order of, the Community 836
17 4137-4438-8716.2
Facilities District. If any Bond shall be lost, destroyed or stolen, evidence of such loss, destruction or theft may be submitted to the Trustee and, if such evidence and indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee shall be given, the Community Facilities District, at the expense of the Owner, shall execute, and the Trustee shall thereupon authenticate and deliver, a new Bond of the same Series and maturity in a like aggregate principal amount in lieu of and in replacement for the Bond so lost, destroyed or stolen (or if any such Bond shall have matured or shall have been selected for redemption, instead of issuing a replacement Bond, the Trustee may pay the same without surrender thereof). The Community Facilities District may require payment by the Owner of a sum not exceeding the actual cost of preparing the replacement Bond delivered thereto under this Section and the expenses incurred by the Community Facilities District and the Trustee in connection therewith. Any Bond of a Series issued under the provisions of this Section in lieu of any Bond of such Series alleged to be lost, destroyed or stolen shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation on the part of the Community Facilities District whether or not the Bond so alleged to be lost, destroyed or stolen be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture with all other Bonds of such Series secured by this Indenture.
Section 2.09. Temporary Bonds. The Bonds of a Series may be issued in temporary form exchangeable for definitive Bonds of such Series when ready for delivery. Any temporary Bonds may be printed, lithographed or typewritten, shall be of such Authorized Denominations as may be determined by the Community Facilities District, shall be in fully registered form without coupons and may contain such reference to any of the provisions of this Indenture as may be appropriate. Every temporary Bond shall be executed by the Community Facilities District and authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner as the definitive Bonds. If the Community Facilities District issues temporary Bonds of a Series it shall execute and deliver definitive Bonds of such Series as promptly thereafter as practicable, and thereupon the temporary Bonds of such Series may be surrendered, for cancellation, at the Office of the Trustee and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for such temporary Bonds, an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive Bonds of such Series and maturities in Authorized Denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Bonds of such Series shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Bonds of such Series authenticated and delivered hereunder.

If some but not all of the Series 2026 Bonds maturing on September 1, 20__ are redeemed pursuant to Section 4.01(b), the principal amount of the Series 2026 Bonds maturing on September 1, 20__ to be redeemed pursuant to Section 4.01(c) on any subsequent September 1 shall be reduced by the aggregate principal amount of the Series 2026 Bonds maturing on September 1, 20__ so redeemed pursuant to Section 4.01(b), such reduction to be allocated among redemption dates as nearly as practicable on a pro rata basis in amounts of $5,000 or integral multiples thereof, as determined by the Trustee, notice of which determination shall be given by the Trustee to the Community Facilities District.
Section 4.02. Notice of Redemption. The Trustee on behalf and at the expense of the Community Facilities District shall mail (by first-class mail) notice of any redemption to the respective Owners of any Bonds designated for redemption at their respective addresses appearing on the Registration Books and to the Original Purchaser, at least 30 but not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption. Such notice shall state the date of the notice, the redemption date, the redemption place and the Redemption Price and shall designate the CUSIP numbers, if any, the Bond numbers and the maturity or maturities of the Bonds to be redeemed (except in the event of redemption of all of the Bonds of such maturity or maturities in whole), and shall require that such Bonds be then surrendered at the Office of the Trustee for redemption at the Redemption Price, giving notice also that further interest on such Bonds will not accrue from and after the date fixed for redemption. Neither the failure to receive any notice so mailed, nor any defect in such notice, shall affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of the Bonds or the cessation of accrual of interest thereon from and after the date fixed for redemption. With respect to any notice of any optional redemption of Bonds, unless at the time such notice is given the Bonds to be redeemed shall be deemed to have been paid within the meaning of Section 10.02, such notice shall state that such redemption is conditional upon receipt by the Trustee, on or prior to the date fixed for such redemption, of moneys that, together with other available amounts held by the Trustee, are sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and accrued interest on, the Bonds to be redeemed, and that if such moneys shall not have been so received said notice shall be of no force and effect and the Community Facilities District shall not be required to redeem such Bonds. In the event a notice of redemption of Bonds contains such a condition and such moneys are not so received, the redemption of Bonds as described in the conditional notice of redemption shall not be made and the Trustee shall, within a reasonable time after the date on which such redemption was to occur, give notice to the Persons and in the manner in which the notice of redemption was given, that such moneys were not so received and that there shall be no redemption of Bonds pursuant to such notice of redemption.
Section 4.03. Selection of Bonds for Redemption. Whenever provision is made in this Indenture for the redemption of less than all of the Bonds, the Trustee shall select the Bonds to be redeemed from all Bonds not previously called for redemption (a) with respect to any optional redemption of Bonds of a Series, among maturities of Bonds of such Series as directed in a Written 846
27 4137-4438-8716.2
Request of the Community Facilities District, (b) with respect to any redemption pursuant to Section 4.01(b) and the corresponding provisions of any Supplemental Indenture pursuant to which Additional Bonds are issued, among maturities of all Series of Bonds on a pro rata basis as nearly as practicable, and (c) with respect to any other redemption of Additional Bonds, among maturities as provided in the Supplemental Indenture pursuant to which such Additional Bonds are issued, and by lot among Bonds of the same Series with the same maturity in any manner that the Trustee in its sole discretion shall deem appropriate. For purposes of such selection, all Bonds shall be deemed to be comprised of the greatest number of separate denominations that would result in each such denomination being an Authorized Denomination and each such separate denomination shall be treated as a separate Bond that may be separately redeemed.
Section 4.04. Partial Redemption of Bonds. Upon surrender of any Bonds redeemed in part only, the Community Facilities District shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Owner thereof, at the expense of the Community Facilities District, a new Bond or Bonds of the same Series in Authorized Denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Bonds surrendered.
Section 4.05. Effect of Notice of Redemption. (a) Notice of redemption of the Bonds subject to redemption having been mailed as aforesaid, and moneys for the Redemption Price thereof, and the interest thereon to the applicable date fixed for redemption, having been set aside with the Trustee, such Bonds shall become due and payable on said date, and, upon presentation and surrender thereof at the Office of the Trustee, said Bonds shall be paid at the Redemption Price thereof, together with interest accrued and unpaid to said date. (b) If, on said date fixed for redemption, moneys for the Redemption Price of all the Bonds to be redeemed, together with interest to said date, shall be held by the Trustee so as to be available therefor on such date, and, if notice of redemption thereof shall have been mailed as aforesaid and not canceled, then, from and after said date, interest on said Bonds shall cease to accrue and become payable. All moneys held by or on behalf of the Trustee for the redemption of Bonds shall be held in trust for the account of the Owners of the Bonds so to be redeemed without liability to such Owners for interest thereon.
(c) All Bonds paid at maturity or redeemed prior to maturity pursuant to the provisions hereof shall be canceled upon surrender thereof and destroyed. 847

The Community Facilities District shall not authorize owners of taxable parcels within the Community Facilities District to satisfy Special Tax obligations by the tender of Bonds unless the Community Facilities District shall have first obtained a report of an Independent Consultant certifying that doing so would not result in the Community Facilities District having insufficient Special Tax Revenues to pay the principal of and interest on all Outstanding Bonds when due.
Section 6.09. Reduction in Special Tax.

The Trustee shall, during the existence of any Event of Default that has not been cured or waived, exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.
Section 8.02. Qualifications; Removal and Resignation; Successors.

If such trust company, national banking association or bank publishes a report of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of any supervising or examining agency above referred to, then for the purpose of this subsection the combined capital and surplus of such trust company, national banking association or bank shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published.

Fontana, California 92335
Attention: Chief Financial Officer, Finance Department
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated, as underwriter (the “Underwriter”) offers to enter into this Bond Purchase Agreement (this “Agreement”) with City of Fontana Community Facilities District No. 113 (The Gardens Phase Two) (the “Issuer” or the “District”), which, upon your acceptance of this offer, will be binding upon the Issuer and the Underwriter. This offer is made subject to the acceptance by the Issuer of this Agreement on or before 11:59 p.m. on the date set forth above.
Terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given them in the Indenture described below.
1. Upon the terms and conditions and in reliance upon the respective representations, warranties and covenants herein, the Underwriter hereby agrees to purchase from the Issuer, and the Issuer hereby agrees to sell to the Underwriter, all (but not less than all) of the above-captioned bonds (the “Bonds”) at a purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) of $________ (equal to the par amount of the Bonds ($[PAR].00), plus original issue premium of $________, and less an Underwriter’s discount of $________).
The Bonds will be issued by the Issuer under the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982 (constituting Section 53311 et seq. of the California Government Code) (the “Act”) and a resolution adopted on [October 13], 2026 (the “Bond Resolution”) by the City Council (the “City Council”) of the City of Fontana (the “City”) acting as the legislative body of the Issuer.
The special tax that provides a source of payment for the Bonds (the “Special Tax”) will be levied under Ordinance No. 1952 adopted by the City Council on May 28, 2024 (the “Ordinance”).
In addition to the Ordinance, the City Council adopted the following in connection with initial formation of the District and the levy of the Special Tax: (i) Resolution No. 2024-012 (the “Resolution of Intention to Form the District”), (ii) Resolution No. 2024-013 (the “Resolution of Intention to Incur Bonded Indebtedness”), (iii) Resolution No. 2024-022 (the “Resolution of Formation”), (iv) Resolution No. 2024-023 (the “Resolution Declaring Necessity to Incur Bonded Indebtedness”), (v) 908
-2-
Resolution No. 2024-024 (the “Resolution Calling Election”), and (vi) Resolution No. 2024-025 (the “Resolution Declaring Election Results”; together, the “Formation Resolutions and Ordinance”).
Together, the Bond Resolution and the Formation Resolutions and Ordinance are referred to as the “Resolutions and Ordinance.”
The Bonds will be issued under the terms of an Indenture (the “Indenture”), dated as of November 1, 2026, by and between the Issuer and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”). The proceeds of the sale of the Bonds will be used by the Issuer to (i) provide financing for certain public facilities and costs related to development within the District, (ii) fund capitalized interest on the Bonds through September 1, 2027, (iii) fund a reserve fund with respect to the Bonds, and (iv) pay the costs of issuing the Bonds. Proceeds of the Bonds will be applied in accordance with the Indenture.
The Issuer acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the primary role of the Underwriter is to purchase securities for resale to investors in an arms-length commercial transaction between the Issuer and the Underwriter and that the Underwriter has financial and other interests that differ from those of the Issuer, and in connection therewith and with the discussions, undertakings and procedures leading up to the consummation of such transaction, the Underwriter is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not acting as the agent or fiduciary of the District, (ii) the Underwriter is not acting as a municipal advisor (within the meaning of Section 15B of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), financial advisor or fiduciary to the Issuer or any other person or entity and has not assumed any advisory or fiduciary responsibility to the Issuer with respect to the transaction contemplated hereby and the discussions, undertakings and proceedings leading thereto (irrespective of whether the Underwriter has provided other services or is currently providing other services to the Issuer on other matters), (iii) the only obligations the Underwriter has to the Issuer with respect to the transaction contemplated hereby expressly are set forth in this Agreement, except as otherwise provided by applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) or the rules of the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (the “MSRB”) or other law, and (iv) the Issuer has consulted its own legal, accounting, tax, municipal, financial and other advisors, as applicable, to the extent it has deemed appropriate in connection with the transaction contemplated herein. The Issuer acknowledges that it has previously provided the Underwriter with an acknowledgement of receipt of the required Underwriter disclosure under Rule G-17 of the MSRB.
2. The Bonds will mature on the dates and in the principal amounts and will bear interest at the rates (and have the redemption terms) as set forth in Exhibit A hereto. The Underwriter agrees to make a bona fide public offering of all of the Bonds at the offering prices set forth on the inside cover of the Final Official Statement described below. Additional details related to the establishment of the issue price of the Bonds are set forth in Section 14.
3. The Issuer agrees to deliver or cause to be delivered to the Underwriter the Official Statement, (a) in “designated electronic format” (as defined in Rule G-32 of the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board), and (b) in printed form in such reasonable quantity as the Underwriters shall request in order to comply with the rules of the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board.
In addition, the Issuer has authorized and approved the Preliminary Official Statement dated [POS Date] (the “Preliminary Official Statement”) and the final Official Statement dated the date hereof (the “Final Official Statement”) and consents to their distribution and use by the Underwriter and the execution and approval of the Final Official Statement by a duly authorized officer of the Issuer. The Issuer deems such Preliminary Official Statement final as of its date for purposes of Rule 909
-3-
15c2-12 of the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Rule 15c2-12”), except for information allowed by Rule 15c2-12 to be omitted, and has executed a certificate to that effect in the form of Exhibit D.
In connection with issuance of the Bonds, and in order to assist the Underwriter in complying with Rule 15c2-12, the Issuer will execute a Continuing Disclosure Agreement, dated as of November 1, 2026 (the “District Continuing Disclosure Agreement”), substantially in the form of Appendix G to the Preliminary Official Statement.
4. The Issuer represents and warrants to the Underwriter that:
(a) The Issuer is duly organized and validly existing as a community facilities district under the laws of the State of California (the “State”), and has the full legal right, power and authority, among other things, (i) upon satisfaction of the conditions in this Agreement and the Indenture, to issue the Bonds as provided herein, and (ii) to secure the Bonds in the manner set forth in the Indenture. (b) The City Council has the full legal right, power and authority to adopt the Resolutions and Ordinance, and the Issuer has the full legal right, power and authority (i) to enter into this Agreement, the Indenture, and the District Continuing Disclosure Agreement (collectively, the “Issuer Documents”), (ii) to issue, sell and deliver the Bonds to the Underwriter as provided herein, and (iii) to carry out and consummate all other transactions on its part contemplated by the Final Official Statement and each of the Issuer Documents, and the Issuer and the City Council have complied with all provisions of applicable law, including the Act, in all matters relating to such transactions. (c) The Issuer has duly authorized (i) the execution and delivery by the Issuer of the Bonds and the execution, delivery and due performance by the Issuer of its obligations under the Issuer Documents, (ii) the distribution and use of the Preliminary Official Statement and execution, delivery and distribution of the Final Official Statement, and (iii) the taking of any and all such action as may be required on the part of the Issuer to carry out, give effect to and consummate the transactions on its part contemplated by such instruments. All consents or approvals necessary to be obtained by the Issuer in connection with the foregoing have been received, and the consents or approvals so received are still in full force and effect.
(d) The Resolutions and Ordinance have been duly adopted by the City Council and are in full force and effect; and the Issuer Documents, when executed and delivered by the Issuer and the other party thereto, will constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Issuer enforceable against the Issuer in accordance with their terms, except as enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally. (e) When delivered to the Underwriter, the Bonds will have been duly authorized by the City Council and duly executed, issued and delivered by the Issuer and will constitute legal, valid and binding special obligations of the Issuer enforceable against the Issuer in accordance with their respective terms, except as 910
-4-
enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, and will be entitled to the benefit and security of the Indenture.
(f) The information (excluding information under the first six paragraphs of the caption “INTRODUCTION – The District,” information under the caption “PROPERTY OWNERSHIP AND THE DEVELOPMENT,” and information relating to The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) and its book-entry system) contained in the Preliminary Official Statement is, and as of the Closing Date such information in the Final Official Statement will be true and correct in all material respects, and the Preliminary Official Statement does not as of its date and the Final Official Statement will not as of the Closing Date contain any untrue or misleading statement of a material fact (excluding information under the first six paragraphs of the caption “INTRODUCTION – The District,” information under the caption “PROPERTY OWNERSHIP AND THE DEVELOPMENT,” and information relating to DTC and its book-entry system) or omit to state any material fact (excluding information under the first six paragraphs of the caption “INTRODUCTION – The District,” information under the caption “PROPERTY OWNERSHIP AND THE DEVELOPMENT,” and information relating to DTC and its book-entry system) necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
(g) If, at any time up to and including 25 days after the End of the Underwriting Period (as defined below), any event known to the officers of the Issuer participating in the issuance of the Bonds occurs with respect to the Issuer or the City as a result of which the Final Official Statement as then amended or supplemented might include an untrue statement of a material fact, or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the Issuer shall promptly notify the Underwriter in writing of such event and shall promptly prepare, or cooperate in the preparation of, an amendment or supplement to the Official Statement which will correct such statement or omission. Any information supplied by the Issuer for inclusion in any amendments or supplements to the Final Official Statement will not contain any untrue or misleading statement of a material fact relating to the Issuer or the City or omit to state any material fact relating to the Issuer or the City necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. As used herein, the term “End of the Underwriting Period” means the later of such time as: (i) the Bonds are delivered to the Underwriter; or (ii) the Underwriter does not retain, directly or as a member of an underwriting syndicate, an unsold balance of the Bonds for sale to the public. Unless the Underwriter gives notice to the contrary, the End of the Underwriting Period shall be deemed to be the Closing Date (as described in Section 6 below). Any notice delivered pursuant to this provision shall be written notice delivered to the District at or prior to the Closing Date, and shall specify a date (other than the Closing Date) to be deemed the “End of the Underwriting Period.” 911
-5-
(h) Neither the adoption of the Resolutions and Ordinance, the execution and delivery of the Issuer Documents, nor the consummation of the transactions on the part of the Issuer contemplated herein or therein or the compliance by the Issuer with the provisions hereof or thereof will conflict with, or constitute on the part of the Issuer, a violation of, or a breach of or default under, (i) any material indenture, mortgage, commitment, note or other agreement or instrument to which the Issuer is a party or by which it is bound, (ii) any provision of the State Constitution or (iii) any existing law, rule, regulation, ordinance, judgment, order or decree to which the Issuer or the City (or the members of the City Council or any of its officers in their respective capacities as such) is subject, that would have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Issuer to perform its obligations under the Issuer Documents.
(i) The Issuer has never been in default at any time, as to principal of or interest on any obligation which it has issued, including those which it has issued as a conduit for another entity, which default may have an adverse effect on the ability of the Issuer to consummate the transactions on its part under the Issuer Documents, except as specifically disclosed in the Final Official Statement; and the Issuer has not entered into any contract or arrangement of any kind which might give rise to any lien or encumbrance on the Special Tax. (j) Except as is specifically disclosed in the Final Official Statement, to the best knowledge of the Issuer, there is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation, at law or in equity, before or by any court, public board or body, pending with respect to which the Issuer has been served with process or threatened, which in any way questions the powers of the City Council, the City or the Issuer referred to in paragraph (b) above, or the validity of any proceeding taken by the City Council in connection with the issuance of the Bonds, or wherein an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding could materially adversely affect the transactions contemplated by the Issuer Documents, or which, in any way, could adversely affect the validity or enforceability of the Resolutions and Ordinance, the Bonds or the Issuer Documents or, to the knowledge of the Issuer, which in any way questions the exclusion from gross income of the recipients thereof of the interest on the Bonds for federal income tax purposes or in any other way questions the status of the Bonds under State tax laws or regulations. (k) Any certificate signed by an official of the Issuer authorized to execute such certificate and delivered to the Underwriter in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Issuer Documents shall be deemed a representation and warranty by the Issuer to the Underwriter as to the truth of the statements therein contained.
(l) The Issuer has not been notified of any listing or proposed listing by the Internal Revenue Service to the effect that it is a bond issuer whose arbitrage certifications may not be relied upon.
(m) The Bonds will be paid from Net Special Tax Revenues (as defined in the Indenture) received by the Issuer and amounts held in certain funds and accounts established and pledged under the Indenture.
912
-6-
(n) The Special Tax may lawfully be levied in accordance with the rate and method of apportionment of the Special Tax relating to the District (the “Rate and Method”), the Resolutions and Ordinance as described in the Preliminary Official Statement and the Final Official Statement, and, when levied, will be secured by a lien on the property on which it is levied. (o) The Indenture creates a valid pledge of, and first lien upon the Net Special Tax Revenues deposited thereunder, and the amounts held in certain funds and accounts established and pledged under the Indenture, subject in all cases to the provisions of the Indenture permitting the application thereof for the purposes and on the terms and conditions set forth therein.
(p) Except as disclosed in the Final Official Statement, in the last five years, neither the City, nor the District, nor any other entity for which the City Council is the legislative body, has failed to comply with any undertaking under Rule 15c2-12 in any material respect.
5. The Issuer covenants with the Underwriter that the Issuer will cooperate with the Underwriter (at the cost of the Underwriter), in qualifying the Bonds for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions of the United States as the Underwriter may reasonably request; provided, however, that the Issuer shall not be required to consent to suit or to service of process, or to qualify to do business, in any jurisdiction. The Issuer consents to the use by the Underwriter of the Issuer Documents in the course of its compliance with the securities or Blue Sky laws of the various jurisdictions.
6. At 9:00 a.m. on [Closing Date] (the “Closing Date”) or at such other time and/or date as shall have been mutually agreed upon by the Issuer and the Underwriter, the Issuer will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Underwriter the Bonds in definitive form duly executed and authenticated by the Trustee together with the other documents mentioned in Section 8 hereof; and the Underwriter will accept such delivery and pay the Purchase Price of the Bonds by delivering to the Trustee for the account of the Issuer a check payable in federal funds or making a wire transfer in federal funds payable to the order of the Trustee.
The activities relating to the final execution and delivery of the Bonds and the Indenture and the payment therefor and the delivery of the certificates, opinions and other instruments as described in Section 8 of this Agreement shall occur at the offices of Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP, Los Angeles, California, as bond counsel to the Issuer (“Bond Counsel”). The payment for the Bonds and simultaneous delivery of the Bonds to the Underwriter is herein referred to as the “Closing.” The Bonds will be delivered as fully registered Bonds initially in denominations of $5,000 each and any integral multiple thereof. The Bonds will be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, and will be made available for checking by the Underwriter at such place as the Underwriter and the Trustee shall agree not less than 24 hours prior to the Closing.
7. The Underwriter has the right to cancel its obligations to purchase the Bonds if between the date hereof and the time of Closing:
(a) the House of Representatives or the Senate of the Congress of the United States, or a committee of either, shall have pending before it, or shall have passed or 913
-7-
recommended favorably, legislation introduced previous to the date hereof, which legislation, if enacted in its form as introduced or as amended, would have the purpose or effect of imposing federal income taxation upon revenues or other income of the general character to be derived by the Issuer or by any similar body under the Indenture or upon interest received on obligations of the general character of the Bonds, or of causing interest on obligations of the general character of the Bonds, to be includable in gross income for purposes of federal income taxation, and such legislation, in the Underwriter’s reasonable judgment, materially adversely affects the market price of the Bonds; or (b) a tentative decision with respect to legislation shall be reached by a committee of the House of Representatives or the Senate of the Congress of the United States, or legislation shall be favorably reported or re-reported by such a committee or be introduced, by amendment or otherwise, in or be passed by the House of Representatives or the Senate, or recommended to the Congress of the United States for passage by the President of the United States, or be enacted or a decision by a federal court of the United States or the United States Tax Court shall have been rendered, or a ruling, release, order, circular, regulation or official statement by or on behalf of the United States Treasury Department, the Internal Revenue Service or other governmental agency shall have been made or proposed to be made having the purpose or effect, or any other action or event shall have occurred which has the purpose or effect, directly or indirectly, of adversely affecting the federal income tax consequences of owning the Bonds, including causing interest on the Bonds to be included in gross income for purposes of federal income taxation, or imposing federal income taxation upon revenues or other income of the general character to be derived by the Issuer under the Indenture or upon interest received on obligations of the general character of the Bonds, or the Bonds and also including adversely affecting the tax-exempt status of the Issuer under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, which, in the reasonable judgment of the Underwriter, materially adversely affects the market price of or market for the Bonds; or (c) legislation shall have been enacted, or actively considered for enactment with an effective date prior to the Closing, or a decision by a court of the United States shall have been rendered, the effect of which is that the Bonds, including any underlying obligations, or the Indenture, as the case may be, is not exempt from the registration, qualification or other requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and as then in effect, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and as then in effect, or the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended and as then in effect; or
(d) a stop order, ruling, regulation, no-action letter, or official statement by the SEC or any other governmental agency having jurisdiction of the subject matter shall have been issued or made or any other event occurs, the effect of which is that the issuance, offering or sale of the Bonds, including any underlying obligations, or the execution and delivery of the Indenture as contemplated hereby or by the Final Official Statement, is or would be in violation of any provision of the federal securities laws, including the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and as 914
-8-
then in effect, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and as then in effect, or the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended and as then in effect; or (e) any event shall have occurred or any information shall have become known to the Underwriter which causes the Underwriter to reasonably believe that the Final Official Statement as then amended or supplemented includes an untrue statement of a material fact, or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and the Issuer fails to amend or supplement such Final Official Statement to cure such omission or misstatement under Section 4(g); or (f) there shall have occurred any outbreak of hostilities or any national or international calamity or crisis, including a financial crisis, or the sovereign debt rating of the United States is downgraded by any major credit rating agency or a payment default occurs on United States Treasury obligations, the effect of which on the financial markets of the United States is such as, in the reasonable judgment of the Underwriter, would materially adversely affect the market for or market price of the Bonds; or
(g) there shall be in force a general suspension of trading on the New York Stock Exchange or other major exchange, or minimum or maximum prices for trading shall have been fixed and be in force, or maximum ranges for prices for securities shall have been required and be in force on any such exchange, whether by virtue of determination by that exchange or by order of the SEC or any other governmental authority having jurisdiction, the effect of which on the financial markets of the United States is such as, in the reasonable judgment of the Underwriter, would materially adversely affect the market for or market price of the Bonds; or
(h) a general banking moratorium shall have been declared by federal, New York or State authorities; or
(i) any proceeding shall be pending or threatened by the SEC against the Issuer; or (j) additional material restrictions not in force as of the date hereof shall have been imposed upon trading in securities generally by any governmental authority or by any national securities exchange which adversely affects the Underwriter’s ability to sell the Bonds; or
(k) the New York Stock Exchange or other national securities exchange, the SEC, any other federal or State agency or the Congress of the United States, or Executive Order, shall impose, as to the Bonds or obligations of the general character of the Bonds, any restrictions on transactions in securities materially affecting the market for securities (including the imposition of any limitation on interest rates) not now in force, or increase materially those now in force, with respect to the extension of credit by, or the charge to the net capital requirements of, the Underwriter; or
915
-9-
(l) an amendment to the federal or State constitution shall be enacted or action taken by any federal or State court, legislative body, regulatory body or other authority materially adversely affecting the tax status of the Issuer, its property, income or securities (or interest thereon), the validity or enforceability of the Special Tax or the ability of the Issuer to issue the Bonds and levy the Special Tax as contemplated by the Indenture, the Rate and Method, the Resolution of Formation, the Ordinance and the Final Official Statement; or (m) the entry of any order by a court of competent jurisdiction which enjoins or restrains the Issuer from issuing permits, licenses or entitlements within the District or which order, in the reasonable judgment of the Underwriter, otherwise materially and adversely affects development of the real property located in the District.
8. The obligation of the Underwriter to purchase the Bonds is subject (a) to the performance by the Issuer of its obligations to be performed by it hereunder at and prior to the Closing, (b) to the accuracy as of the date hereof and as of the time of the Closing of the representations and warranties of the Issuer herein, and (c) to the following conditions, including the delivery by the Issuer of such documents as are enumerated herein in form and substance satisfactory to the Underwriter:

10. All representations, warranties and agreements of the Issuer hereunder shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of any investigations made by or on behalf of the Underwriter or the Issuer and shall survive the Closing.
11. The Issuer shall pay or cause to be paid all reasonable expenses incident to the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, including, but not limited to, delivery of the Bonds, costs of printing the Bonds, the Preliminary Official Statement and the Final Official Statement, any amendment or supplement to the Preliminary Official Statement or Final Official Statement and this Agreement, fees and disbursements of Bond Counsel and Disclosure Counsel, any financial 921

12. Any notice or other communication to be given to the Issuer under this Agreement may be given by delivering the same in writing at its address set forth above, and any notice or other communication to be given to the Underwriter under this Agreement may be given by delivering the same in writing to the following: Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated, 2121 Avenue of the Stars, Suite 2150, Los Angeles, California 90067, Attention: Sara Oberlies Brown.
13. This Agreement is made solely for the benefit of the Issuer and the Underwriter (including the successors or assigns of the Underwriter) and no other person, including any purchaser of the Bonds, shall acquire or have any right hereunder or by virtue hereof. This Agreement supersedes and replaces all prior negotiations, agreements and understanding among the parties hereto in relation to the sale of the Bonds by the Issuer.
14. Establishment of Issue Price.
(a) The Underwriter agrees to assist the Issuer in establishing the issue price of the Bonds and shall execute and deliver to the Issuer at Closing an “issue price” or similar certificate, together with the supporting pricing wires or equivalent communications, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I, with such modifications as may be appropriate or necessary, in the reasonable judgment of the Underwriter, the Issuer and Bond Counsel, to accurately reflect, as applicable, the sales price or prices or the initial offering price or prices to the public of the Bonds. All actions to be taken by Issuer under this section to establish the issue price of the Bonds may be taken on behalf of the District by the Municipal Advisor and any notice or report to be provided to the District may be provided to the District’s Municipal Advisor.
(b) Except as otherwise set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto, the Issuer will treat the first price at which 10% of each maturity of the Bonds (the “10% test”), identified under the column “10% Test Used” in Exhibit A, is sold to the public as the issue price of that maturity. At or promptly after the execution of this Agreement, the Underwriter shall report to the Issuer the price or prices at which it has sold to the public each maturity of Bonds. If at that time the 10% test has not been satisfied as to any maturity of the Bonds, the Underwriter agrees to promptly report to the Issuer the prices at which it sells the unsold Bonds of that maturity to the public. That reporting obligation shall continue, whether or not the Closing Date has occurred, until the 10% test has been satisfied as to the Bonds of that maturity or until all Bonds of that maturity have been sold to the public, provided that the Underwriter’s reporting obligation after the date of the Closing may be at reasonable periodic intervals or otherwise upon request of the Issuer or Bond Counsel. For purposes of this Section, if Bonds mature on the same date but have different interest rates, each separate CUSIP number within that maturity will be treated as a separate maturity of the Bonds. For clarity, and notwithstanding any other condition to Closing set forth in this Agreement, the sale of 10% of each maturity of the Bonds to the public prior to the Closing Date shall not be a condition to Closing. 922
-16-
(c) The Underwriter confirms that it has offered the Bonds to the public on or before the date of this Agreement at the offering price or prices (the “initial offering price”), or at the corresponding yield or yields, set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto, except as otherwise set forth therein. Exhibit A also sets forth, identified under the column “Hold the Offering Price Rule Used,” as of the date of this Agreement, the maturities, if any, of the Bonds for which the 10% test has not been satisfied and for which the Issuer and the Underwriter agree that the restrictions set forth in the next sentence shall apply, which will allow the Issuer to treat the initial offering price to the public of each such maturity as of the sale date as the issue price of that maturity (the “hold-the-offering-price rule”). So long as the hold-the-offering-price rule remains applicable to any maturity of the Bonds, the Underwriter will neither offer nor sell unsold Bonds of that maturity to any person at a price that is higher than the initial offering price to the public during the period starting on the sale date and ending on the earlier of the following:
(1) the close of the fifth (5th) business day after the sale date; or (2) the date on which the Underwriter has sold at least 10% of that maturity of the Bonds to the public at a price that is no higher than the initial offering price to the public.
The Underwriter will advise the Issuer promptly after the close of the fifth (5th) business day after the sale date whether it has sold 10% of that maturity of the Bonds to the public at a price that is no higher than the initial offering price to the public. (d) The Underwriter confirms that:
(i) any selling group agreement and any third-party distribution agreement relating to the initial sale of the Bonds to the public, together with the related pricing wires, contains or will contain language obligating each dealer who is a member of the selling group and each brokerdealer that is a party to such third-party distribution agreement, as applicable:
(A)(i) to report the prices at which it sells to the public the unsold Bonds of each maturity allocated to it, whether or not the Closing has occurred, until either all Bonds of that maturity allocated to it have been sold or it is notified by the Underwriter that the 10% test has been satisfied as to the Bonds of that maturity, provided that the reporting obligation after the date of the Closing may be at reasonable periodic intervals or otherwise upon request of the Underwriter, and (ii) to comply with the hold-theoffering-price rule, if applicable, in each case if and for so long as directed by the Underwriter,
(B) to promptly notify the Underwriter of any sales of Bonds that, to its knowledge, are made to a purchaser who is a related party to an underwriter participating in the initial sale of the Bonds to the public (each such term being used as defined below), and
(C) to acknowledge that, unless otherwise advised by the dealer or broker-dealer, the Underwriter shall assume that each order submitted by the dealer or broker-dealer is a sale to the public.
923
-17-
(ii) any selling group agreement relating to the initial sale of the Bonds to the public, together with the related pricing wires, contains or will contain language obligating each dealer that is a party to a third-party distribution agreement to be employed in connection with the initial sale of the Bonds to the public to require each broker-dealer that is a party to such thirdparty distribution agreement to (A) report the prices at which it sells to the public the unsold Bonds of each maturity allocated to it, whether or not the Closing has occurred, until either all Bonds of that maturity allocated to it have been sold or it is notified by the Underwriter or the dealer that the 10% test has been satisfied as to the Bonds of that maturity, provided that the reporting obligation after the date of the Closing may be at reasonable periodic intervals or otherwise upon request of the Underwriter or the dealer, and (B) comply with the hold-theoffering-price rule, if applicable, if and for so long as directed by the Underwriter or the dealer and as set forth in the related pricing wires.
(e) The Issuer acknowledges that, in making the representationsset forth in this subsection, the Underwriter will rely on (i) in the event a selling group has been created in connection with the initial sale of the Bonds to the public, the agreement of each dealer who is a member of the selling group to comply with the requirements for establishing issue price of the Bonds, including, but not limited to, its agreement to comply with the hold-the-offering-price rule, if applicable to the Bonds, as set forth in a selling group agreement and the related pricing wires, and (ii) in the event that a thirdparty distribution agreement was employed in connection with the initial sale of the Bonds to the public, the agreement of each broker-dealer that is a party to such agreement to comply with the requirements for establishing issue price of the Bonds, including, but not limited to, its agreement to comply with the hold-the-offering-price rule, if applicable to the Bonds, as set forth in the third-party distribution agreement and the related pricing wires. The Issuer further acknowledges that the Underwriter shall not be liable for the failure of any dealer who is a member of a selling group, or of any broker-dealer that is a party to a third-party distribution agreement, to comply with its corresponding agreement to comply with the requirements for establishing issue price of the Bonds, including, but not limited to, its agreement to comply with the hold-the-offering-price rule if applicable to the Bonds.
(f) The Underwriter acknowledges that sales of any Bonds to any person that is a related party to an underwriter participating in the initial sale of the Bonds to the public (each such term being used as defined below) shall not constitute sales to the public for purposes of this section. Further, for purposes of this section:
(i) “public” means any person other than an underwriter or a related party, (ii) “underwriter” means (A) any person that agrees pursuant to a written contract with the Issuer (or with the lead underwriter to form an underwriting syndicate) to participate in the initial sale of the Bonds to the public and (B) any person that agrees pursuant to a written contract directly or indirectly with a person described in clause (A) to participate in the initial sale of the Bonds to the public (including a member of a selling group or a party to a third-party distribution agreement participating in the initial sale of the Bonds to the public), (iii) a purchaser of any of the Bonds is a “related party” to an underwriter if the underwriter and the purchaser are subject, directly or indirectly, to (A) more than 50% common ownership of the voting power or the total value of their stock, if both entities are corporations (including direct ownership by one 924
-18-
corporation of another), (B) more than 50% common ownership of their capital interests or profits interests, if both entities are partnerships (including direct ownership by one partnership of another), or (C) more than 50% common ownership of the value of the outstanding stock of the corporation or the capital interests or profit interests of the partnership, as applicable, if one entity is a corporation and the other entity is a partnership (including direct ownership of the applicable stock or interests by one entity of the other), and (iv) “sale date” means the date of execution of this Agreement by all parties.
15. This Agreement shall become effective and binding upon the respective parties hereto upon the execution of the acceptance hereof by the District and shall be valid and enforceable as of the time of such acceptance. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, such holding will not invalidate or render unenforceable any other provision of this Agreement.
16. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together will constitute one agreement, and any of the parties hereto may execute the Agreement by signing any such counterpart. Each of the parties hereto agrees that the transaction consisting of this Agreement may be conducted by electronic means. Each party agrees, and acknowledges that it is such party’s intent, that if such party signs this Agreement using an electronic signature, it is signing, adopting, and accepting this Agreement and that signing this Agreement using an electronic signature is the legal equivalent of having placed its handwritten signature on this Agreement on paper. Each party acknowledges that it is being provided with an electronic or paper copy of this Agreement in a usable format.

Further, and for purpose of the City of Fontana Community Facilities and Assessment District Policy, although the Special Tax if collected in the maximum amounts under the Rate and Method will generate at least 110% of the gross annual debt service payable with respect to the Bonds each year (net of estimated Administrative Expenses), no representation is made herein as to actual amounts that will be collected in future years.
All information with respect to the Rate and Method and all other information sourced to the Special Tax Consultant in the Preliminary Official Statement as of its date and [Pricing Date], and the Official Statement as of its date and the date hereof is true and correct, and a true and correct copy of the Rate and Method is attached to the Preliminary Official Statement and the Official Statement as Appendix A.

Reference is made to the City of Fontana Community Facilities District No. 113 (The Gardens Phase Two) Special Tax Bonds, Series 2026 (the “Bonds”) and to the Bond Purchase Agreement to be entered into in connection therewith (the “Bond Purchase Agreement”). This Letter of Representations of [The New Home Company Southern California LLC][Richmond American Homes of Maryland, Inc.] (the “Letter of Representations”) is delivered pursuant to and in satisfaction of Section 8(c)(xvii) of the Bond Purchase Agreement. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined have the meanings ascribed to them in the Bond Purchase Agreement.
The undersigned certifies that he or she is familiar with the facts herein certified and is authorized and qualified to certify the same as an authorized officer or representative of [The New Home Company Southern California LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, doing business as Risewell Homes][Richmond American Homes of Maryland, Inc., a Maryland corporation] (the “Developer”), and the undersigned, on behalf of the Developer, further certifies as follows:
1. The Developer is a [limited liability company duly formed][corporation duly incorporated], validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of [Delaware][Maryland], is qualified to transact business in the State of California, and has all requisite right, power and authority (i) to execute and deliver this Letter of Representations, and (ii) to develop property in the City of Fontana Community Facilities District No. 113 (The Gardens Phase Two) (the “Community Facilities District”) as described in the Preliminary Official Statement.
2. As set forth in the Preliminary Official Statement, title to a certain portion of the property within the Community Facilities District is held in the name of the Developer [FOR RISEWELL HOMES ONLY: or is owned by TPG AG EHC III (NWHM) CA 2, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Land Bank”) but is under option to the Developer] (all such property is referred to herein as the “Property”). The undersigned, on behalf of the Developer, makes the 936
G-2
representations herein with respect to all such Property. [FOR RISEWELL HOMES ONLY: Except as otherwise described in the Preliminary Official Statement with respect to the Land Bank,] the Developer’s current expectation is that the Developer shall remain the party responsible for the construction and sale of homes within the Property. The Developer has not entered into an agreement for development or management of the Property by any other entity, except such subcontracts, consultant agreements and similar agreements for land development activities associated with the Developer’s development plan as are entered into in the ordinary course of business.
3. Except as set forth in the Preliminary Official Statement, no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation at law or in equity, before or by any court, regulatory agency, public board or body is pending against the Developer (with proper service of process to the Developer having been accomplished) or, to the Actual Knowledge of the Undersigned, 1is pending against any current Relevant Entity2(with proper service of process to such Relevant Entity having been accomplished) or to the Actual Knowledge of the Undersigned is threatened in writing against the Developer, or any such Relevant Entity (a) to restrain or enjoin the collection of the special tax levied on the Property by the Community Facilities District (the “Special Tax”) or other sums pledged or to be pledged to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds (e.g., the reserve fund established under the Indenture (herein, the “Reserve Fund”)), (b) to restrain or enjoin the development of the Property as described in the Preliminary Official Statement, [FOR RISEWELL HOMES ONLY: (c) to materially adversely affect the ability of the Developer to perform its obligations under the Continuing Disclosure Certificate (as hereinafter defined),] (d) in any way contesting or affecting the validity of the Special Tax, or (e) which is reasonably likely to materially and adversely affect the Developer’s ability to acquire, develop, and sell the Property as described in the Preliminary Official Statement or to pay the Special Tax due with respect to the Property (to the extent the responsibility of the Developer) prior to delinquency.
4. As of the date of the Preliminary Official Statement, to the Actual Knowledge of the Undersigned, the information contained therein solely with respect to the Developer, its Relevant Entities, the proposed development of the Property, ownership of the Property, the Developer’s development plan, the Developer’s financing plan, the Developer’s lenders, if any, [and] contractual
1 “Actual Knowledge of the Undersigned” means the actual (as opposed to constructive) knowledge that the individual signing on behalf of the Developer currently has as of the date of this Letter of Representations or has obtained through (i) interviews with such current officers and responsible employees of the Developer and its Relevant Entities as the undersigned has determined are reasonably likely, in the ordinary course of their respective duties, to have knowledge of the matters set forth in this Letter of Representations, and/or (ii) review of documents that were reasonably available to the undersigned and which the undersigned has reasonably deemed necessary for the undersigned to obtain knowledge of the matters set forth in this Letter of Representations.
The undersigned has not conducted any extraordinary inspection or inquiry other than such inspections or inquiries as are prudent and customary in connection with the ordinary course of the Developer’s current business and operations. Individuals who are no longer employees of the Developer and its Relevant Entities have not been contacted. 2 “Relevant Entity” means, with respect to the Developer, any other Person (i) who directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, is currently controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Developer, and (ii) for whom information, including financial information or operating data, concerning such Person is material to potential investors in their evaluation of the Community Facilities District and investment decision regarding the Bonds (i.e., information relevant to (a) the Developer’s development plans with respect to the Property and ability to pay its Special Tax on the Property (to the extent the responsibility of the Developer) prior to delinquency, or (b) such Person’s assets or funds that would materially affect the Developer’s ability to develop the Property as described in the Preliminary Official Statement or to pay its Special Tax on the Property (to the extent the responsibility of the Developer). “Person” means an individual, a corporation, a partnership, a limited liability company, an association, a joint stock company, a trust, any unincorporated organization or a government or political subdivision thereof. For purposes hereof, the term “control” (including the terms “controlling,” “controlled by” or “under common control with”) means the possession, direct or indirect, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of a Person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise. [FOR RISEWELL HOMES ONLY: The Land Bank is not a Relevant Entity of the Developer.] 937
G-3
arrangements of the Developer or any Relevant Entities (including, if material to the Developer’s development plan or the Developer’s financing plan, loans of such Relevant Entities) [FOR RISEWELL HOMES ONLY: and the Developer’s compliance with its continuing disclosure undertakings] as set forth under the sections of the Preliminary Official Statement captioned “INTRODUCTION – The District” (the first six paragraphs only), “THE COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT – General Information Regarding the District” (the second through sixth paragraphs thereof only), “PROPERTY OWNERSHIP AND THE DEVELOPMENT – General,” [FOR RISEWELL HOMES ONLY: “– New Home Company dba Risewell Homes,” “– The New Home Company Land Bank Arrangement” and “CONTINUING DISCLOSURE – Risewell Homes”][FOR RICHMOND AMERICAN ONLY: and “– Richmond American”] (but in all cases under all captions excluding therefrom (i) information regarding the Appraisal Report (as defined herein), market value ratios and annual special tax ratios, and (ii) information which is identified as having been provided by a source other than the Developer), is true and correct in all material respects and did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
5. Except as described in the Preliminary Official Statement, there are no material loans outstanding and unpaid and no material lines of credit of the Developer or its Relevant Entities, that are secured by an interest in the Property. Neither the Developer nor, to the Actual Knowledge of the Undersigned, any of its Relevant Entities is currently in material default on any loans, lines of credit or other obligation related to the development of the Property or any other project which default is reasonably likely to materially and adversely affect the Developer’s ability to develop the Property as described in the Preliminary Official Statement or to pay the Special Tax due with respect to the Property (to the extent the responsibility of the Developer) prior to delinquency.
6. To the Actual Knowledge of the Undersigned, other than as disclosed in the Preliminary Official Statement, the Developer is not aware that any of the Property has a current liability with respect to the presence of a substance presently classified as hazardous under the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 or applicable California law or is adversely affected by the presence of endangered or threatened species or habitat for endangered or threatened species.
7. The Developer covenants that, while the Bonds or any refunding obligations related thereto are outstanding, the Developer and its Relevant Entities which it controls will not bring any action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation at law or in equity, before any court, regulatory agency, public board or body, that in any way seeks to challenge or overturn the formation of the Community Facilities District, to challenge the adoption of the ordinance of the Community Facilities District levying Special Tax within the Community Facilities District, to invalidate the Community Facilities District or any of the Bonds or any refunding bonds related thereto, or to invalidate the special tax liens imposed under Section 3115.5 of the Streets and Highways Code based on recordation of the notices of special tax lien relating thereto. The foregoing covenant shall not prevent the Developer or a Relevant Entity in any way from bringing any other action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation at law or in equity, before any court, regulatory agency, public board or body including, without limitation, (a) an action or suit contending that the Special Tax has not been levied in accordance with the methodologies contained in the Rate and Method of Apportionment of Special Tax pursuant to which Special Tax is levied, (b) an action or suit with respect to the application or use of the Special Tax levied and collected or (c) an action or suit to enforce the obligations of the City and/or the Community Facilities District under the Resolutions and Ordinance, the Indenture, or any other 938
G-4
agreements among the Developer, a Relevant Entity, the City and/or the Community Facilities District or to which the Developer or a Relevant Entity is a party or beneficiary.
8. The Developer consents to the issuance of the Bonds. The Developer acknowledges and agrees that the proceeds of the Bonds will be used as described in the Preliminary Official Statement.
9. The Developer intends to comply with the provision of the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982, as amended, relating to the Notice of Special Tax described in Government Code Section 53341.5 in connection with the sale of the Property to homeowners, or portions thereof.
10. To the Actual Knowledge of the Undersigned, the Developer is able to pay its bills as they become due and no legal proceedings are pending against the Developer (with proper service of process having been accomplished) or, to the Actual Knowledge of the Undersigned, threatened in writing in which the Developer may be adjudicated as bankrupt or discharged from any and all of its debts or obligations, or granted an extension of time to pay its debts or obligations, or be allowed to reorganize or readjust its debts, or be subject to control or supervision of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
11. To the Actual Knowledge of the Undersigned, Relevant Entities of the Developer are able to pay their bills as they become due and no legal proceedings are pending against any Relevant Entity of the Developer (with proper service of process having been accomplished) or to the Actual Knowledge of the Undersigned, threatened in writing in which the Relevant Entities of the Developer may be adjudicated as bankrupt or discharged from any or all of their debts or obligations, or granted an extension of time to pay their debt or obligations, or be allowed to reorganize or readjust their debts or obligations, or be subject to control or supervision of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation which is reasonably likely to have a materially adverse impact on the ability of the Developer to develop the Property as described in the Preliminary Official Statement, or to pay the Special Tax or ad valorem tax obligations with respect to the portion of the Property then owned by the Developer (to the extent the responsibility of the Developer) prior to delinquency.
12. The Developer has been developing or has been involved in the development of numerous projects over an extended period of time. It is likely that the Developer and its Relevant Entities have been delinquent at one time or another in the payment of ad valorem property taxes, special assessments or special taxes. However, to the Actual Knowledge of the Undersigned, during the last five years, neither the Developer nor any current Relevant Entity has, during the period of its ownership, been delinquent to any material extent in the payment of any ad valorem property tax, special assessment or special tax on property included within the boundaries of a community facilities district or an assessment district in California that (a) caused a draw on a reserve fund relating to such assessment district or community facilities district financing or (b) resulted in a foreclosure action being commenced against the delinquent Developer or such Relevant Entity in a court of law.
13. The Developer has not filed for the reassessment of the assessed value of any portions of the Property, other than in connection with the sale of homes to individual homebuyers.
14. To the Actual Knowledge of the Undersigned, there are no claims, disputes, suits, actions or contingent liabilities by and among the Developer, its Relevant Entities or any contractors working on the development of the Property which is reasonably likely to materially and adversely affect the Developer’s development of the Property as described in the Preliminary Official Statement, 939
G-5
or the payment of the Special Tax due with respect to the Property (to the extent the responsibility of the Developer) prior to delinquency.
15. Based upon the current development plans, including, without limitation, the current budget and subject to economic conditions and risks generally inherent in the development of real property, including, but not limited to, the risks described in the Preliminary Official Statement under the section entitled “SPECIAL RISK FACTORS,” the Developer presently anticipates that it will have sufficient funds to develop the Property as described in the Preliminary Official Statement and to pay Special Tax levied against the Property (to the extent the responsibility of the Developer) prior to delinquency and does not anticipate that the City or the Community Facilities District will be required to resort to a draw on the Reserve Fund for payment of principal of or interest on the Bonds due to the Developer’s nonpayment of Special Tax. However, neither the Developer nor any of its Relevant Entities are obligated to make any additional capital contribution or loan to the Developer at any time, and the Developer reserves the right to change its development plans and financing plans for the Property at any time without notice.
16. An appraisal of the taxable properties within the Community Facilities District, dated September 22, 2026 (the “Appraisal Report”), was prepared by Kitty Siino & Associates, Inc. (the “Appraiser”). The Appraisal Report estimates the market value of the taxable properties within the Community Facilities District as of August 7, 2026 (the “Date of Value”). To the Actual Knowledge of the Undersigned, all information submitted by, or on behalf of and authorized by, the Developer to the Appraiser and contained in the sections of the Appraisal Report highlighted in yellow or circled in Exhibit A attached hereto, was true and correct in all material respects as of the Date of Value.
17. [FOR RISEWELL HOMES ONLY: The Developer agrees to execute at Closing the Continuing Disclosure Certificate, substantially in the form attached as Appendix H to the Preliminary Official Statement (the “Continuing Disclosure Certificate”), with such additional changes as may be agreed to by the Developer and the Underwriter. Except as disclosed in the Preliminary Official Statement, to the Actual Knowledge of the Undersigned, the Developer is not aware of any material failures by it or any entity under managerial control of the Developer to comply in all material respects with previous continuing disclosure undertakings in a written certificate or agreement executed by it or an entity under the managerial control of the Developer to provide periodic continuing disclosure reports or notices of material events respecting securities offerings in California within the past five years.]
18. [FOR RISEWELL HOMES ONLY: To the Actual Knowledge of the Undersigned, execution and delivery of the Continuing Disclosure Certificate, and the performance by the Developer of its obligations under the Continuing Disclosure Certificate, will not conflict with or constitute a breach of or default under any loans, lines of credit, agreements, or other contractual or financial obligations of the Developer, or any applicable law, regulation, judgment or decree.]
19. Solely as to the limited information described in the sections of the Preliminary Official Statement indicated in Paragraph 4 herein (and subject to the limitations and exclusions set forth in Paragraph 4), the Developer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the extent permitted by law, the City, the Community Facilities District, and their officials and employees, and each Person, if any, who controls any of the foregoing within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or of Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (each, an “Indemnified Party” and, collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”), against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Indemnified Party may become subject under any statute or 940
G-6
at law or in equity and shall reimburse any such Indemnified Party for any reasonable legal or other expense incurred by it in connection with investigating any such claim against it and defending any such action, insofar as and solely to the extent such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions, or legal or other expenses, arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission of a material fact by the Developer in the abovereferenced information in the Preliminary Official Statement, as of its date, necessary to make the statements made by the Developer contained therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading. This indemnity provision shall not be construed as a limitation on any other liability which the Developer may otherwise have to any Indemnified Party, provided that in no event shall the Developer be obligated for double indemnification, or for the negligence or willful misconduct of an Indemnified Party.
If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against any Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnification may be sought pursuant to the above paragraph, such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Developer in writing; provided that the failure to notify the Developer shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have hereunder except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced by such failure; and provided, further, that the failure to notify the Developer shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an Indemnified Party otherwise than under the above paragraph unless such liability was also conditioned upon such notice. If any such proceeding shall be brought or asserted against an Indemnified Party and it shall have notified the Developer thereof, the Developer shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and approved thereby to represent the Indemnified Party in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding, as incurred. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless (i) the Developer and the Indemnified Party shall have mutually agreed to the contrary; (ii) the Developer has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; (iii) the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the Developer such that a material conflict of interest exists for such counsel; or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include the Developer and the Indemnified Party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interest between them. It is understood and agreed that the Developer shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Indemnified Parties, and that all such fees and expenses, to the extent reasonable, shall be paid or reimbursed as they are incurred. Any such separate firm shall be designated in writing by such Indemnified Parties. The Developer shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Developer agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment to the extent set forth above. If the Developer shall, after receiving notice of the indemnification obligation of the Developer and within a period of time necessary to preserve any and all defenses to any claim asserted, fails to assume the defense or to retain counsel for that purpose satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to undertake the defense of, and to compromise or settle the claim or other matter on behalf of, for the account of and at the risk of, the Developer. The Developer shall not, without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party and indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement (x) includes an unconditional 941
G-7
release of such Indemnified Party, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding, and (y) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party.
20. If between the date hereof and the Closing Date any event relating to or affecting the Developer, its Relevant Entities, ownership of the Property, the proposed development of the Property, the Developer’s development plan, the Developer’s financing plan, the Developer’s lenders, if any, and contractual arrangements of the Developer or any Relevant Entities (including, if material to the Developer’s development plan or the Developer’s financing plan, loans of such Relevant Entities) [FOR RISEWELL HOMES ONLY: and the Developer’s compliance with its continuing disclosure undertakings] shall occur of which the undersigned has actual knowledge which would cause the information under the sections of the Preliminary Official Statement indicated in Paragraph 4 hereof (and subject to the limitations and exclusions contained in Paragraph 4 hereof), to contain an untrue statement of a material fact or to omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the Developer shall notify the City, the Community Facilities District and the Underwriter and if in the opinion of counsel to the City or the Underwriter such event requires the preparation and publication of a supplement or amendment to the Preliminary Official Statement, the Developer shall reasonably cooperate with the City and the Community Facilities District in the preparation of an amendment or supplement to the Preliminary Official Statement in form and substance satisfactory to counsel to the City, the Community Facilities District and to the Underwriter.
21. The Developer agrees to deliver a Closing Certificate dated the date of issuance of the Bonds at the time of issuance of the Bonds in substantially the form attached as Exhibit H-1 to the Bond Purchase Agreement. If any event related to or affecting the Developer, its Relevant Entities, or the ownership, development, or sale of the Property occurs, as a result of which it is necessary to modify the Closing Certificate, the Developer agrees to deliver a new Closing Certificate revised to reflect such event.
22. On behalf of the Developer, I have reviewed the contents of this Letter of Representations and have discussed with counsel to the Developer the meaning of the contents of this Letter of Representations. The Developer acknowledges and understands that a variety of state and federal securities laws, including, but not limited to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, may apply to the Developer and that under some circumstances, certification as to the matters set forth in this Letter of Representations, without additional disclosures or other action, may not fully discharge all duties and obligations of the Developer under such securities laws.

ISSUE PRICE CERTIFICATE
The undersigned, Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated (“Stifel”), hereby certifies as set forth below with respect to the sale and issuance of the above-captioned obligations (the “Bonds”).
1. Sale of the General Rule Maturities. As of the date of this certificate, for each Maturity of the General Rule Maturities, the first price at which at least 10% of such Maturity was sold to the Public is the respective price listed in Schedule A.
2. Initial Offering Price of the Hold-the-Offering-Price Maturities. (a) Stifel offered the Hold-the-Offering-Price Maturities to the Public for purchase at the respective initial offering prices listed in Schedule A (the “Initial Offering Prices”) on or before the Sale Date. A copy of the pricing wire or equivalent communication for the Bonds is attached to this certificate as Schedule B.
(b) As set forth in the Bond Purchase Agreement, dated [Pricing Date], by and between Stifel, as the Underwriter (as defined below), and the Issuer (as defined below), Stifel has agreed in writing that: (i) for each Maturity of the Hold-the-Offering-Price Maturities, it would neither offer nor sell any of the Bonds of such Maturity to any person at a price that is higher than the Initial Offering Price for such Maturity during the Holding Period for such Maturity (the “hold-the-offering-price rule”); and (ii) any selling group agreement shall contain the agreement of each dealer who is a member of the selling group, and any third-party distribution agreement shall contain the agreement of each broker-dealer who is a party to the third-party distribution agreement, to comply with the hold-theoffering-price rule. Pursuant to such agreement, no Underwriter has offered or sold any Maturity of the Hold-the-Offering-Price Maturities at a price that is higher than the respective Initial Offering Price for that Maturity of the Bonds during the Holding Period.
3. Defined Terms.
(a) General Rule Maturities means those Maturities of the Bonds listed in Schedule A hereto as the “General Rule Maturities.”
(b) Hold-the-Offering-Price Maturities means those Maturities of the Bonds listed in Schedule A hereto as the “Hold-the-Offering-Price Maturities.” (c) Holding Period means, with respect to a Hold-the-Offering-Price Maturity, the period starting on the Sale Date and ending on the earlier of (i) the close of the fifth business day after the 960
I-2
Sale Date (which Sale Date is [Pricing Date]), or (ii) the date on which Stifel has sold at least 10% of such Hold-the-Offering-Price Maturity to the Public at prices that are no higher than the Initial Offering Price for such Hold-the-Offering-Price Maturity.
(d) Issuer means the City of Fontana Community Facilities District No. 113 (The Gardens Phase Two).
(e) Maturity means Bonds with the same credit and payment terms. Bonds with different maturity dates, or Bonds with the same maturity date but different stated interest rates, are treated as separate maturities.
(f) Public means any person (including an individual, trust, estate, partnership, association, company, or corporation) other than an Underwriter or a related party to an Underwriter.
The term “related party” for purposes of this certificate generally means any two or more persons who have greater than 50 percent common ownership, directly or indirectly. (g) Sale Date means the first day on which there is a binding contract in writing for the sale of a Maturity of the Bonds. The Sale Date of the Bonds is [Pricing Date]. (h) Underwriter means: (i) any person that agrees pursuant to a written contract with the Issuer (or with the lead underwriter to form an underwriting syndicate) to participate in the initial sale of the Bonds to the Public; and (ii) any person that agrees pursuant to a written contract directly or indirectly with a person described in clause (i) of this paragraph to participate in the initial sale of the Bonds to the Public (including a member of a selling group or a party to a third-party distribution agreement participating in the initial sale of the Bonds to the Public).
4. Reserve Fund. The funding of the Reserve Fund under the Indenture, and as provided in the Tax Certificate, is reasonably required, was a vital factor in marketing the Bonds, facilitated the marketing of the Bonds at an interest rate comparable to that of bonds and other tax-exempt obligations of a similar type, and is not in excess of the amount necessary for such purpose.
The representations set forth in this certificate are limited to factual matters only. Nothing in this certificate represents Stifel’s interpretation of any laws, including specifically Sections 103 and 148 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. The undersigned understands that the foregoing information will be relied upon by the Issuer with respect to certain of the representations set forth in the Tax Certificate of the Issuer dated [Closing Date] and with respect to compliance with the federal income tax rules affecting the Bonds, and by Bond Counsel, in connection with rendering its opinion that the interest on the Bonds is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes, the preparation of the Internal Revenue Service Form 8038-G, and other federal income tax advice that it may give to the Issuer from time to time relating to the Bonds.

PRELIMINARY OFFICIAL STATEMENT DATED _______, 2026
NEW ISSUE – BOOK-ENTRY-ONLY NO RATING
In the opinion of Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP, Bond Counsel to the District, based upon an analysis of existing laws, regulations, rulings and court decisions, and assuming, among other matters, the accuracy of certain representations and compliance with certain covenants, interest on the Bonds is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes under Section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and is exempt from State of California personal income taxes. In the further opinion of Bond Counsel, interest on the Bonds is not a specific preference item for purposes of the federal individual alternative minimum tax. Bond Counsel observes that interest on the Bonds included in adjusted financial statement income of certain corporations is not excluded from the federal corporate alternative minimum tax. Bond Counsel expresses no opinion regarding any other tax consequences related to the ownership or disposition of, or the amount, accrual or receipt of interest on, the Bonds. See “TAX MATTERS” herein.

The purpose of this Official Statement, which includes the cover page, the table of contents and the attached appendices, is to provide certain information concerning the issuance of the City of Fontana Community Facilities District No. 113 (The Gardens Phase Two) Special Tax Bonds, Series 2026 (the “Bonds”) by the City of Fontana Community Facilities District No. 113 (The Gardens Phase Two) (the “District”), in the aggregate principal amount set forth on the front cover page.

All capitalized terms used in this Official Statement and not defined shall have the meaning set forth in Appendix F — “SUMMARY OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE INDENTURE Definitions” herein.
The District
The District includes approximately 36 gross acres and is located in the northwestern portion of the City of Fontana (the “City”). The District is located along the west side of Citrus Avenue, just south of Duncan Canyon Road. The District is being developed into a master planned residential community known as “The Gardens Phase Two” by The New Home Company Southern California LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, doing business as Risewell Homes (“Risewell Homes”), which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Risewell Homes Company Inc. (“Risewell Homes Inc.”), and Richmond American Homes of Maryland, Inc., a Maryland corporation (Richmond American,” and, together with Risewell Homes, the “Developers”).
Overall, the District is planned for a total of 388 residential units at buildout in four product lines:
“Trellis,” “Marigold,” “Iris” and “Flora.” Risewell Homes plans to construct a total of 214 residential units in the District in two product lines of triplex and detached condominium units known as “Trellis” and “Marigold.” Risewell Homes is using a land bank in the development of its property within the District, TPG AG EHC III (NWHM) CA 2, L.P, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Risewell Homes Land Bank”). See “PROPERTY 972
4923-2672-3278v5/022777-0047 2
OWNERSHIP AND THE DEVELOPMENT — Risewell Homes Land Bank Arrangement” herein. Trellis is triplex development planned for a total of 90 units at buildout, and Marigold is a detached alley-load condominium unit development planned for a total of 124 units at buildout.

As of August 7, 2026, within the District, 120 residential units had been completed and conveyed to individual homeowners, including homes within each of the four product lines. As of August 7, 2026, Risewell Homes owned seven completed model units (none of which were in escrow), 9 homes over 95% complete (three of which were in escrow), 11 residential units under construction and less than 95% complete (none of which were in escrow), and 24 finished lots (none of which were in escrow). Sales contracts are subject to cancelation and, therefore, homes currently in escrow may not result in closed escrows with the prospective homebuyers.
Additionally, as of August 7, 2026, Risewell Homes Land Bank owned 142 finished lots. Since August 7, 2026, as of October 1, 2026, Risewell Homes had conveyed an additional ___ residential units to individual homeowners.

Sales contracts are subject to cancelation and, therefore, homes currently in escrow may not result in closed escrows with the prospective homebuyers. Since August 7, 2026, as of October 1, 2026, Richmond American had conveyed an additional ___ residential units to individual homeowners.
Within the District, building permits had been obtained for ____ planned residential units within the District as of October 1, 2026; accordingly, such ____ parcels will be classified as Developed Property for the Fiscal Year 2027-28 Special Tax levy. See “PROPERTY OWNERSHIP AND THE DEVELOPMENT.” The master developer of the master planned community known as “The Arboretum,” of which the development within the District is a portion, is North Fontana Investment Company, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Master Developer”). The Master Developer is an affiliate of The Lewis Group of Companies. All of the infrastructure required to be completed by the Master Developer within the District has been completed, and the Master Developer will receive Bond proceeds as reimbursement for the acquisition of such infrastructure.
The District was formed to finance certain public facilities and services and costs with respect thereto related to the development within the District. The Act was enacted by the California legislature to provide an alternative method of financing certain public capital facilities and services, especially in developing areas of the State of California (the “State”). Any local agency (as defined in the Act) may establish a community facilities district to provide for and finance the cost of eligible public facilities and services. The legislative body of the local agency which forms a community facilities district acts on behalf of such district as its legislative body. Subject to approval by two-thirds of the votes cast at an election and compliance with the other provisions of the Act, a legislative body of a local agency may issue bonds for a community facilities district and may levy and collect a special tax within such district to repay such indebtedness.
Pursuant to the Act, the City Council adopted the necessary resolutions stating its intent to establish the District, to authorize the levy of special taxes on taxable property within the boundaries of the District, and to have the District incur bonded indebtedness for the purpose of financing authorized facilities (the “Facilities”).
Following public hearings conducted pursuant to the provisions of the Act, the City Council adopted resolutions establishing the District and calling a special election to submit the levy of the special taxes and the incurring of bonded indebtedness to the qualified voters of the District. On May 14, 2024, at an election held pursuant to the Act, the then sole landowners who comprised the qualified voters of the District, Richmond American and North 973
4923-2672-3278v5/022777-0047 3
Fontana Investment company, LLC, Delaware a limited liability company (the “Master Developer”), authorized the District to incur bonded indebtedness in the aggregate principal amount of not to exceed $24,000,000 to be secured by the levy of Special Taxes (as defined below) on taxable property within the District for the purpose of financing the Facilities, and approved the rate and method of apportionment of the special taxes for the District (the “Rate and Method”).
On June 6, 2024, the Board approved a joint community facilities agreement (the “Water District Joint Community Facilities Agreement”) with respect to the District, by and among the City, the District and West Valley Water District (the “Water District”), which provides for certain of the Water District Facilities to be financed through the District.
The Rate and Method provides for a Facilities Special Tax (as defined in the Rate and Method) (the “Facilities Special Tax”) to be levied for the Special Tax Requirement for Facilities (as defined in the Rate and Method) and a Services Special Tax (as defined in the Rate and Method) (the “Services Special Tax”) to be levied for services described in the Rate and Method. As used in this Official Statement, the terms “Special Tax” or “Special Taxes” refer only to the Facilities Special Tax and does not include the Services Special Tax.
The Services Special Tax is not pledged under the Indenture nor is the Services Special Tax available to pay debt service on the Bonds. The Special Tax will be levied against certain property within the District pursuant to the Act, the Ordinance approving the levy of the Special Tax and the Indenture and in accordance with the Rate and Method. The lien of the Special Tax will be co-equal with the lien of the Services Special Tax.
Security and Sources of Payment for the Bonds
Under the Indenture, the District has pledged to repay the Bonds and any additional bonds issued under the Indenture (the “Additional Bonds”) from Net Special Tax Revenues and any other amounts held in the Special Tax Fund, the Bond Fund and the Reserve Fund. Proceeds of any Additional Bonds may only be applied to refund the Bonds or any Additional Bonds previously issued under the Indenture. See “SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE BONDS — No Additional Bonds Except for Refunding Bonds.” The Indenture defines “Net Special Tax Revenues” to mean Special Tax Revenues less amounts required to pay Administrative Expenses. The term “Special Tax Revenues” is defined in the Indenture to mean the proceeds of the Special Tax received by or on behalf of the District, including any prepayments thereof, interest and penalties thereon and proceeds of the redemption or sale of property sold as a result of foreclosure of the lien of the Special Tax, which will be limited to the amount of said lien and interest and penalties thereon. “Administrative Expenses” is defined in the Indenture to mean costs directly related to the administration of the District, including, but not limited to: the costs of computing the Special Tax and preparing the annual Special Tax collection schedules and the costs of collecting the Special Tax, the costs of remitting the Special Tax to the Trustee, the fees and costs of the Trustee (including its legal counsel) in the discharge of the duties required of it under the Indenture, the costs incurred by the District in complying with the disclosure provisions of any continuing disclosure undertaking and the Indenture, including those related to public inquiries regarding the Special Tax and disclosures to Owners, the costs of the District related to an appeal of the Special Tax, any amounts required to be rebated to the federal government in order for the District to comply with the tax covenants in the Indenture, an allocable share of the salaries of the City staff providing services on behalf of the District directly related to the foregoing and a proportionate amount of City general administrative overhead related thereto, and the costs of foreclosure of any delinquent Special Tax.
Net Special Tax Revenues are the primary security for the repayment of the Bonds and any Additional Bonds. In the event that Net Special Tax Revenues are not paid when due, the only sources of funds available to pay the debt service on the Bonds and any Additional Bonds will be the amounts held for such purpose in the Special Tax Fund, the Bond Fund and the Reserve Fund. See “SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE BONDS” herein.
