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.

INTRODUCTION
This introduction is not a summary of this Official Statement. It is only a brief description of and guide to, and is qualified by, more complete and detailed information contained in the entire Official Statement, including the cover page and appendices hereto, and the documents summarized or described herein. A full review should be made of the entire Official Statement. The offering of the Bonds to potential investors is made only by means of the entire Official Statement.

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. The proceeds of the Bonds will be used to finance certain public facilities and costs with respect thereto related to the development within the District, to fund interest on the Bonds through September 1, 2027, to fund a reserve fund for the Bonds (the “Reserve Fund”), and to pay costs of issuance of the Bonds.

The Bonds are being issued pursuant to the MelloRoos Community Facilities Act of 1982, as amended (Section 53311 et seq. of the Government Code of the State of California) (the “Act”), and pursuant to the Indenture, dated as of _________ 1, 2026 (the “Indenture”), by and between the District and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”). The Bonds are secured under the Indenture by a pledge of, constituting a lien on and security interest in, the Net Special Tax Revenues (as defined herein) and any other amounts held in the Special Tax Fund, the Bond Fund and the Reserve Fund established pursuant to the Indenture.

This introduction is not a summary of this Official Statement. It is only a brief description of and guide to, and is qualified by, more complete and detailed information contained in the entire Official Statement and the documents summarized or described herein. A full review should be made of the entire Official Statement. The sale and delivery of the Bonds to potential investors is made only by means of the entire Official Statement. 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 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.

Richmond American plans to construct a total of 174 residential units in the District in two product lines of detached condominium units, known as “Iris” and “Flora.” Iris is an alley-loaded and cluster detached condominium unit development planned for a total of 88 units at buildout, and Flora is a detached condominium unit development planned for a total of 86 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.

As of August 7, 2026, Richmond American owned eight completed model units (none of which were in escrow), 29 homes over 95% complete (two of which were in escrow), and 38 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. 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 twothirds 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 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.

Description of the Bonds
The Bonds will be issued and delivered as fully registered bonds, registered in the name of Cede & Co. as nominee of The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York (“DTC”), and will be available to actual purchasers of the Bonds (the “Beneficial Owners”) in the denominations of $5,000 and any integral multiples thereof under the book-entry system maintained by DTC, only through brokers and dealers who are or act through DTC Participants as described herein. Beneficial Owners will not be entitled to receive physical delivery of the Bonds. In the event that the book-entry only system described herein is no longer used with respect to the Bonds, the Bonds will be registered and transferred in accordance with the Indenture. See Appendix I — “INFORMATION CONCERNING THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY AND ITS BOOK-ENTRY SYSTEM” herein.

Principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds is payable by the Trustee to DTC. Disbursement of such payments to DTC Participants is the responsibility of DTC and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners is the responsibility of DTC Participants. In the event that the book-entry only system is no longer used with respect to the Bonds, the Beneficial Owners will become the registered owners of the Bonds and will be paid principal and interest by the Trustee, all as described herein. See Appendix I — “INFORMATION CONCERNING THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY AND ITS BOOK-ENTRY SYSTEM” herein.

The Bonds are subject to optional redemption, mandatory redemption from Special Tax prepayments and mandatory sinking fund redemption as described herein. For a more complete description of the Bonds and the basic documentation pursuant to which they are being sold and delivered, see “THE BONDS” and Appendix F — “SUMMARY OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE INDENTURE” herein.

Appraisal Report
The District has obtained an appraisal of the Taxable Property (as defined herein) included in the District dated September 22, 2026, with a date of value as of August 7, 2026 (the “Appraisal”). The Appraisal was prepared for the District by Kitty Siino & Associates, Inc., Tustin, California (the “Appraiser”). Subject to the limitations set forth in the Appraisal, the Appraiser is of the opinion that, as of August 7, 2026 the minimum market value of the Taxable Property within the District was not less than $144,878,560 (the “Appraised Value”). See “THE COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT — Property Values” and “THE COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT — ValuetoLien Ratios.” A copy of the Appraisal is included as Appendix B to this Official Statement. It is a condition precedent to the issuance of the Bonds that the Appraiser deliver a certificate stating that nothing has come to the attention of the Appraiser subsequent to the date of the Appraisal that would lead the Appraiser to believe that the value of the Taxable Property (as defined in the Rate and Method) in the District is less than the minimum market value of such property reported in the Appraisal. However, the Appraiser has not performed any procedures since the date of value to obtain knowledge of such events or occurrences nor is it obligated to do so in the future.

Price Point Study
In connection with the formation of the District, the City hired Empire Economics, Inc., Capistrano Beach, California (the “Price Point Consultant”) to prepare a price point study of the prices of the homes planned within the District, dated January 11, 2024 (the “Original Price Point Study”). The Special Tax rates set forth in the Rate and Method were based in part on the prices set forth in the Original Price Point Study. In connection with and in preparation for the issuance of the Bonds, the City hired the Price Point Consultant to conduct an update to the Original Price Point Study within the District, dated August 19, 2026 (the “Updated Price Point Study”). Pursuant to Section C of the Rate and Method, prior to the issuance of Bonds, the City is required to amend the Assigned Facilities Special Tax (as defined in the Rate and Method) to the extent necessary to cause the total effective tax burden for residential property in the District to not exceed 1.95% of the minimum sales prices set forth in the Updated Price Point Study. A copy of the Updated Price Point Study is included as Appendix C to this Official Statement. Based on the conclusions of the Updated Price Point Study, the Facilities Special Tax, the Services Special Tax and all direct and overlapping property taxes, special assessments and other special taxes, the City does not expect to amend the Assigned Facilities Special Tax because effective tax rates are not projected to exceed 1.95% for any parcel. See “THE COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT — Direct and Overlapping Debt — Table 3” — Projected Total Effective Tax Rates for Individually Owned Residential Property.” See also “SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE BONDS — Rate and Method of Apportionment.” Professionals Involved in the Offering

THE BONDS
General Provisions
The Bonds will be issued in fully registered form without coupons in denominations of $5,000 and any integral multiple thereof (“Authorized Denominations”). The Bonds will be dated the date of issuance thereof. The Bonds are scheduled to mature on September 1, in the years and in the principal amounts, and will bear interest at the rates per annum, shown on the inside front cover page of this Official Statement. Interest on the Bonds will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months and will be payable on March 1 and September 1 of each year, commencing March 1, 2027 (each an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest on each Bond will be payable from the Interest Payment Date next preceding the date of authentication thereof unless (i) such Bond is authenticated on or before an Interest Payment Date and after the close of business on the fifteenth calendar day of the month preceding such Interest Payment Date, whether or not such day is a Business Day (the “Record Date”) in which event interest thereon will be payable from such Interest Payment Date, (ii) such Bond is authenticated on or before the first Record Date, in which event interest thereon will be payable from the Closing Date or (iii) interest on such Bond is in default as of the date of authentication thereof, in which event interest thereon will be payable from the date to which interest has been previously paid or duly provided for.

The interest on, and principal of and redemption premiums, if any, on the Bonds are payable in lawful money of the United States of America. Interest is payable by check of the Trustee mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, on each Interest Payment Date to the Owners of the Bonds at their respective addresses shown on the Registration Books as of the close of business on the preceding Record Date (except that interest on any Bond which is not punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date will, if and to the extent that amounts subsequently become available therefor, be payable on a payment date established by the Trustee to the Person in whose name the ownership of such Bond is registered on the Registration Books at the close of business on a special record date to be established by the Trustee pursuant to the Indenture). Payment of principal of any Bond will be made only upon presentation and surrender thereof at maturity or upon earlier redemption at the Office of the Trustee.

The Bonds will initially be issued in book-entry form, and DTC will act as securities depository. So long as the Bonds are held in book-entry form, principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds will be paid by the Trustee directly to DTC for distribution to the Beneficial Owners of the Bonds in accordance with procedures adopted by DTC. See Appendix I — “INFORMATION CONCERNING THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY AND ITS BOOK-ENTRY SYSTEM.” The Bonds are not general obligations of the District but are special, limited obligations of the District payable solely from Net Special Tax Revenues and the other amounts held under the Indenture in the Special Tax Fund, the Bond Fund and the Reserve Fund. Neither the faith and credit nor the taxing power of the District (except to the limited extent set forth in the Indenture), the City, the State, or any political subdivision thereof, is pledged to the payment of the Bonds or Additional Bonds. See “SPECIAL RISK FACTORS — Bonds Are Limited Obligations.” Redemption

If some but not all of the Bonds maturing on September 1, 20__ are redeemed pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of the Indenture described above, the principal amount of the Bonds maturing on September 1, 20__ to be redeemed by mandatory sinking fund redemption as described above on any subsequent September 1 shall be reduced, by $5,000 or an integral multiple thereof, as designated by the District in a Written Certificate of the District submitted to the Trustee; provided, however, that the aggregate amount of such reductions shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the Bonds maturing on September 1, 20__ so optionally redeemed. If some but not all of the Bonds maturing on September 1, 20__ are redeemed pursuant to the mandatory redemption from Special Tax prepayments provisions of the Indenture, the principal amount of the Bonds maturing on September 1, 20__ to be redeemed by mandatory sinking fund redemption as described above on any subsequent September 1 shall be reduced by the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds maturing on September 1, 20__ so mandatorily redeemed from Special Tax prepayments, 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 District.

The Bonds maturing September 1, 20__ shall be subject to mandatory sinking fund redemption, in part, on September 1 in each year, commencing September 1, 20__, at a Redemption Price equal to the principal amount of the Bonds maturing September 1, 20__ to be redeemed, without premium, plus accrued interest thereon to the date of redemption, in the aggregate respective principal amounts in the respective years as follows:

Selection of Bonds for Redemption. Whenever provision is made in the Indenture for the redemption of less than all of the Bonds and Additional Bonds, the Trustee will select the Bonds and Additional Bonds to be redeemed from all Bonds and Additional Bonds not previously called for redemption (a) with respect to any optional redemption of Bonds and Additional Bonds of a Series, among maturities of the Bonds and Additional Bonds of such Series as directed in a Written Request of the District (b) with respect to any mandatory redemption of Bonds or Additional Bonds from prepayments of the Special Tax, among maturities of all Series of Bonds and any Additional 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. The Trustee shall select for redemption the Bonds and any Additional Bonds of the same Series with the same maturity by lot in any manner that the Trustee, in its sole discretion, shall deem appropriate. For purposes of such selection, all Bonds and Additional 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 or Additional Bond that may be separately redeemed.

Notice of Redemption. If the Bonds are held in bookentry form, notice of redemption will be mailed to DTC and not to the Beneficial Owners of the Bonds under the DTC bookentry system. Neither the District nor the Trustee is responsible for giving notice of redemption to the Beneficial Owners. See Appendix I — “INFORMATION CONCERNING THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY AND ITS BOOK-ENTRY SYSTEM” herein.

The Indenture provides that the Trustee on behalf and at the expense of the District will give notice of any redemption by first class mail 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 of redemption will 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). The notice of redemption will require that the Bonds to be redeemed be surrendered at the Office of the Trustee for redemption at the Redemption Price, and give notice 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, will 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 the Indenture, such notice will 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 District will 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 will not be made and the Trustee will, 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.

Effect of Notice of Redemption. 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, is held by the Trustee so as to be available therefor on such date, and, if notice of redemption thereof will have been mailed as aforesaid and not canceled, then, from and after said date, interest on said Bonds will cease to accrue and become payable. All moneys held by or on behalf of the Trustee for the redemption of Bonds will 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.

SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE BONDS
General
The Bonds are special, limited obligations of the District, and, except as otherwise provided in the Indenture, they are payable solely from Net Special Tax Revenues. 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 shall be limited to the amount of said lien and interest and penalties thereon). The Indenture defines the term “Special Tax” as the special tax described and defined in the Rate and Method as the “Facilities Special Tax” approved by the qualified electors to be levied within the District pursuant to the Act and the Rate and Method. “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.

Under the Rate and Method, parcels of Taxable Property, exclusive of Taxable Public Property and Taxable Property Owner Association Property, are classified as Developed Property if a building permit has been obtained for such parcel by May 1 of the fiscal year preceding the Special Tax levy. As of October 1, 2026, building permits had been obtained for _________ of the parcels of Taxable Property within the District. For the projected Fiscal Year 2027-28 Special Tax levy, based on the development status within the District as of October 1, 2026, assuming no further development, ___ parcels of Taxable Property within the District will be classified as Developed Property and __ parcels within the District will be classified as Undeveloped Property. See “PROPERTY OWNERSHIP AND THE DEVELOPMENT.” Under no circumstances may the amount of Special Tax levied by the District in any year exceed the maximum rates approved by the qualified electors within the District, as set forth in the Rate and Method. A copy of the Rate and Method is attached to this Official Statement as Appendix A.

In addition to the Net Special Tax Revenues, any other amounts held in the Special Tax Fund, the Bond Fund and the Reserve Fund are pledged pursuant to the Indenture to secure the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds and any Additional Bonds in accordance with their respective terms, the Indenture and the Act. However, those amounts are pledged subject to the provisions of the Indenture permitting the application thereof for the purposes set forth in the Indenture. Amounts on deposit in the Improvement Fund, the Costs of Issuance Fund, the Redemption Fund, the Administrative Expense Fund and the Rebate Fund are not pledged to the payment of any of the Bonds or any Additional Bonds.

Special Tax
Pursuant to the Act, the City Council adopted a resolution on April 9, 2024 stating its intention to establish the District and to levy a special tax within the District. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, the City Council established the District on May 14, 2024 for the purpose of, among other things, financing certain public infrastructure improvements necessary for the proposed development within the District. At a special election held on May 14, 2024, the then sole landowners of the property within the District, the Master Developer and Richmond American, authorized the District to incur indebtedness in an amount not to exceed $24,000,000 and approved the Rate and Method. The Rate and Method is set forth in Appendix A hereto.

Pursuant to Section C of the Rate and Method, prior to the issuance of the Bonds, if necessary, the City is required to amend the Assigned Facilities Special Tax (as defined in the Rate and Method) to the extent necessary to cause the Total Tax Burden (as defined in the Rate and Method) for one or more land use classes of residential property in the District to not exceed 1.95% of the Minimum Sale Prices (as defined in the Rate and Method) set forth in the Updated Price Point Study. A copy of the Updated Price Point Study is included as Appendix C to this Official Statement. Based on the conclusions of the Updated Price Point Study, the Facilities Special Tax, the Services Special Tax and all direct and overlapping property taxes, special assessments and other special taxes, the City does not expect to amend the Assigned Facilities Special Tax. See “— Rate and Method of Apportionment” below. See also “THE COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT — Direct and Overlapping Debt — Table 3 — Projected Total Effective Tax Rates for Individually Owned Residential Property.” Pursuant to the Indenture, the District has covenanted that it will fix and levy the Special Tax within the District in each Fiscal Year in accordance with the Rate and Method in an amount sufficient (subject to the limitations contained in the Rate and Method as to the maximum Special Tax that may be levied on each parcel) to yield Special Tax Revenues in the amount required for (i) the payment of principal of and interest on any Outstanding Bonds and any Additional Bonds becoming due and payable during the Corresponding Bond Year, (ii) any necessary replenishment of the Reserve Fund, and (iii) the payment of Administrative Expenses estimated to be paid from such Special Tax Revenues, taking into account the balances in the Funds and Accounts. See Appendix F — “SUMMARY OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE INDENTURE — Certain Covenants Under the Indenture.” Notwithstanding this covenant, the amount of Special Tax actually collected each year may be less than the amount described for a variety of different reasons. See “SPECIAL RISK FACTORS — Levy of the Special Tax.” The Bonds have been structured so that, beginning in Fiscal Year 2027-28, the Assigned Facilities Special Tax rates set forth in the Rate and Method that may be levied within the District, based on the expected buildout of the District, are at least 110% of debt service on the Bonds in each Bond Year net of estimated Administrative Expenses of $40,000 escalating 2% each fiscal year beginning July 1, 2028. The Special Tax levied in any fiscal year may not exceed the maximum rates authorized pursuant to the Rate and Method. See Appendix A “RATE AND METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF SPECIAL TAX.” There is no assurance that the Special Tax proceeds will, in all circumstances, be adequate to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds when due. Pursuant to the Act, the Special Tax levied in any Fiscal Year against any parcel of residential property in the District may not be increased as a consequence of delinquency or default by the owners of any other parcels within the District by more than 10% above the amount that would have been levied in that Fiscal Year had there never been any such delinquencies or defaults. See “SPECIAL RISK FACTORS Levy of the Special Tax” and “SPECIAL RISK FACTORS Exempt Properties.” Rate and Method of Apportionment
General. The Rate and Method is to be applied by the District each year for the purpose of determining the amount of the Special Tax to be levied against each Assessor’s Parcel of Taxable Property within the District. For purposes of the discussion of the Rate and Method only, terms with initial capital letters that are not otherwise defined in this Official Statement shall have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Rate and Method, a copy of which appears in Appendix A.

Under the terms of the Indenture, prior to August 1 of each year, the District will ascertain from the County of San Bernardino Assessor the relevant parcels on which the Special Tax are to be levied, taking into account any parcel splits during the preceding and then current year. The District will levy the Special Tax by August 10 of each Fiscal Year that the Bonds are Outstanding, or otherwise such that the computation of the levy is complete before the final date on which the auditor (the “Auditor”) of the County of San Bernardino (the “County”) will accept the transmission of the Special Tax amounts for the parcels within the District for inclusion on the next real property tax roll. Upon the completion of the computation of the amounts of the levy, the District will prepare, or cause to be prepared, and shall transmit to the Auditor, such data as the Auditor requires to include the levy of the Special Tax on the next real property tax roll.

The Special Tax levied in any Fiscal Year may not exceed the maximum rates authorized pursuant to the Rate and Method. See Appendix A — “RATE AND METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF SPECIAL TAX” hereto. Although the Bonds have been structured so that, beginning in Fiscal Year 2027-28, the Assigned Facilities Special Tax rates set forth in the Rate and Method that may be levied based on expected build out of the District are at least 110% of debt service on the Bonds net of estimated Administrative Expenses of $40,000 escalating 2% each fiscal year beginning July 1, 2028, there is no assurance that the proceeds of the Special Tax will, in all circumstances, be adequate to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds when due. See “SPECIAL RISK FACTORS — Levy of the Special Tax” herein.

Rate and Method of Apportionment of Special Tax. The District is legally authorized and has covenanted to cause the levy of the Special Taxes in an amount determined according to a methodology, i.e., the Rate and Method, which the City Council and the qualified electors within the District have approved. The Rate and Method apportions the total amount of the Facilities Special Tax and Services Special Tax to be collected among the Taxable Property in the District as more particularly described below. The Facilities Special Tax is referred to herein as the “Special Tax” or the “Special Taxes.” The Services Special Tax is not pledged to the repayment of the Bonds and is not available to pay debt service on the Bonds.

The following is a synopsis of the provisions of the Rate and Method, which should be read in conjunction with the complete text of the Rate and Method which is attached as Appendix A — “RATE AND METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF SPECIAL TAX.” The meaning of the defined terms used in this section are as set forth in Appendix A. This section provides only a summary of the Rate and Method, and is qualified by more complete and detailed information contained in the Rate and Method attached as Appendix A. As used in the Rate and Method, “Bonds” means the Bonds and any Additional Bonds. “CFD Administrator” means an official of the City, or designee thereof, responsible for determining the Special Tax Requirement for Facilities and the Special Tax Requirement for Services, providing for the levy and collection of the Special Taxes, and performing other duties as set forth in the Rate and Method of Apportionment of Special Tax. “Developed Property” means, for each Fiscal Year, (i) with respect to the Facilities Special Tax, all Taxable Property, exclusive of Taxable Public Property and Taxable Property Owner Association Property, for which a building permit for new construction, other than the construction of a garage, parking lot, or parking structure, was issued after January 1, 2024 and on or before May 1 of the Fiscal Year preceding the Fiscal Year for which the Facilities Special Taxes are being levied, and (ii) with respect to the Services Special Tax, all Taxable Property, exclusive of Taxable Public Property and Taxable Property Owner Association Property, (a) for which the Final Residential Subdivision was recorded prior to the Fiscal Year for which the Services Special Taxes are being levied, or (b) for which a building permit has been issued with respect to Non-Residential Property on or before May 1 of the Fiscal Year preceding the Fiscal Year for which the Services Special Taxes are being levied. “Facilities Special Tax” means the special tax authorized to be levied in each Fiscal Year on each Assessor’s Parcel of Taxable Property within the District to fund the Special Tax Requirement for Facilities as set forth in the Rate and Method. “Lower Income Households Welfare Exemption Property” means, for each Fiscal Year, an Assessor’s Parcel within the boundaries of the District that is entitled to a welfare exemption under subdivision (g) of Section 214 of the California Revenue and Taxation Code (or any successor statute), as indicated in the County’s assessment roll finalized as of the last preceding January 1. “Planning Area” means Planning Area 1 through 4 as identified in Exhibit B to the Rate and Method. “Residential Floor Area” means all of the square footage of living area within the perimeter of a residential structure, not including any carport, walkway, garage, overhang, patio, enclosed patio, or similar area. The determination of Residential Floor Area for an Assessor’s Parcel shall be as set forth in the building permit(s) issued for such Assessor’s Parcel and/or as set forth in the appropriate records kept by the Building and Safety Department of the City, or other applicable City department, as determined by the CFD Administrator. “Residential Property” means all Assessor’s Parcels of Developed Property for which a building permit(s) has been issued by the City permitting the construction thereon of one or more residential dwelling units. “Services Special Tax” means the special tax authorized to be levied in each Fiscal Year on each Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property within the District to fund the Special Tax Requirement for Services as set forth in the Rate and Method of Apportionment of Special Tax. The Services Special Tax is not pledged to the repayment of the Bonds and is not available to pay debt service on the Bonds. “Special Tax Requirement for Facilities” means, for any Fiscal Year, that amount required, after taking into account available amounts held in the funds and accounts under the Indenture, for the following items: (i) debt service on all Outstanding Bonds due in the calendar year commencing in such Fiscal Year; (ii) periodic costs with respect to the Bonds, including but not limited to, costs of credit enhancement and federal rebate payments due in the calendar year commencing in such Fiscal Year; (iii) pay all or a portion of Administrative Expenses; (iv) any amounts required to establish or replenish any reserve funds for all Outstanding Bonds; (v) without duplicating any amounts described in clause (iv) above, reasonably anticipated Facilities Special Tax delinquencies based on the delinquency rate for the Facilities Special Tax in the previous Fiscal Year, as said levy for delinquencies shall be limited by the Act; and (vi) pay directly for the acquisition or construction of Authorized Facilities, provided that the inclusion of such amount does not cause an increase in the Facilities Special Tax levy beyond the first step in Section D.1 of the Rate and Method (i.e., beyond 100% of the Assigned Facilities Special Tax on Developed Property). “Taxable Property” means all of the Assessor’s Parcels within the boundaries of the District which are not exempt from the Special Tax pursuant to law or described below under the subheading “— Exempt Property.” Each Fiscal Year, all Taxable Property within the District will be classified as Developed Property, Undeveloped Property, Taxable Property Owner Association Property, or Taxable Public Property, and will be subject to Special Taxes in accordance with the Rate and Method described below under the subheading “Maximum Special Tax, Assigned Special Tax and Backup Special Tax.” “Taxable Property Owner Association Property” means all Assessor’s Parcels of Property Owner Association Property that are not exempt from the Special Tax described below under the subheading “— Exempt Property,” and further described in Section E of the Rate and Method attached hereto as Appendix A. “Taxable Public Property” means all Assessor’s Parcels of Public Property that are not exempt from the Special Tax described below under the subheading “— Exempt Property,” and further described in Section E of the Rate and Method attached hereto as Appendix A. “Undeveloped Property” means, for each Fiscal Year, all Taxable Property not classified as Developed Property, Taxable Public Property or Taxable Property Owner Association Property.

Exempt Property. No Facilities Special Tax will be levied on up to 11.1 Acres of Public Property and/or Property Owner Association Property in the District. Tax-exempt status will be assigned by the CFD Administrator in chronological order in which property within a Planning Area in the District becomes Public Property or Property Owner Association Property. However, should an Assessor’s Parcel no longer be classified as Public Property or Property Owner Association Property, it will, from that point forward, be subject to the Facilities Special Tax.

Notwithstanding the above, an Assessor’s Parcel in the District that is transferred to a public agency or property owner’s association prior to the issuance of the first series of bonds that causes the Acreage of Public Property and Property Owner Association Property to exceed the 11.1 Acreage limit that can be designated by the CFD Administrator under the Rate and Method will also be exempted from the Special Tax.

Public Property or Property Owner Association Property that is not exempt from the Facilities Special Tax as described above will be subject to the levy of the Facilities Special Tax and will be taxed Proportionately as part of the fourth step described under the heading “Method of Apportionment of Special Tax” below. The District will not levy a Services Special Tax on Undeveloped Property, Taxable Public Property, Taxable Property Owner Association Property or Public Property and Property Owner Association Property described below under the subheading “— Exempt Property,” and further described in Section E of the Rate and Method attached hereto as Appendix A.

Under the Rate and Method, no Special Tax shall be levied on Lower Income Household Welfare Exemption Property; provided that if, in any Fiscal Year, applicable law does not require that an Assessor’s Parcel that is Lower Income Households Welfare Exemption Property be exempt from the Facilities Special Tax, then the Facilities Special Tax shall be levied on such Assessor’s Parcel in accordance with the Rate and Method as if such Assessor’s Parcel were not classified as Lower Income Households Welfare Exemption Property. Senate Bill 1473, the “Local Government Omnibus Act of 2020,” amended Government Code Section 53340(c) to provide that in a community facilities district in which the levy of a special tax is authorized by an ordinance adopted on or after January 1, 2020, a property receiving a welfare exemption under subdivision (g) of Section 214 of the California Revenue and Taxation Code shall be exempt from the special tax unless debt is outstanding and the property was subject to the special tax prior to receiving the exemption, in which case the property shall remain subject to the special tax and the special tax shall be enforceable against the property. Therefore, pursuant to the Rate and Method and California law, and given that no property is subject to the welfare exemption as of the date hereof, the Special Tax will be applicable to Lower Income Household Welfare Exemption Property so long as the Bonds are outstanding.

Maximum Special Tax, Assigned Special Tax and Backup Special Tax. The Maximum Special Tax, Assigned Special Tax and Backup Special Tax for the Facilities Special Tax provided for in the Rate and Method are as follows:

Facilities Special Tax.

Developed Property. The Maximum Facilities Special Tax for each Assessor’s Parcel classified as Developed Property will be the greater of (i) the amount derived by application of the Assigned Facilities Special Tax or (ii) the amount derived by application of the Backup Facilities Special Tax.

Assigned Facilities Special Tax. There are four Planning Areas within the District pursuant to the Rate and Method. Residential Property in Planning Area 1 will be assigned to Land Use Classes 1 through 5, Residential Property in Planning Area 2 will be assigned to Land Use Classes 6 through 10, and Planning Areas 3 and 4 will be assigned to Land Use Classes 11 through 15, each as identified in Table 1 in Section C of the Rate and Method based on the Residential Floor Area for each residential dwelling unit. The Assigned Facilities Special Tax applicable to an Assessor’s Parcel classified as Residential Property ranges from $4,604 per taxable unit with a Residential Floor Area of 2,225 square feet or greater within Planning Areas 3 and 4 to $3,198 per taxable unit with a Residential Floor Area of less than 1,650 square feet in Planning Area 2. The Assigned Facilities Special Tax applicable to an Assessor’s Parcel classified as Non-Residential Property ranges from $51,370 per acre in Planning Area 3 to $59,970 per acre in Planning Area No. 2. Based on the Updated Price Point Study provided by the Price Point Consultant, the City does not expect the Assigned Facilities Special Tax rates set forth in Section C of the Rate and Method to be reduced, as the total effective tax burden applicable to each land use class of residential property to be constructed within the District will not exceed 1.95% of the minimum sale prices set forth in the Updated Price Point Study. A copy of the Updated Price Point Study is included as Appendix C to this Official Statement.

Backup Facilities Special Tax. The Backup Facilities Special Tax for an Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property upon adoption of the Rate and Method equaled the lesser of (a) $69,540 per Acre in Planning Area 1, $70,560 per Acre in Planning Area 2, $60,450 per Acre in Planning Area 3, and $61,530 per Acre in Planning Area 4, or (b) in connection with any reduction in the Assigned Facilities Special Tax as set forth in Section C.1 of the Rate and Method, the reduced amount per Acre calculated pursuant to Section C.1.a.(4) of the Rate and Method. Pursuant to the Updated Price Point Study provided by the Price Point Consultant, no reduction of the Assigned Facilities Special Tax will be required under the Rate and Method; accordingly, no reduction of the Backup Facilities Special Tax will be required.

The Assigned Facilities Special Tax and Backup Facilities Special Tax are not subject to escalation.

Multiple Land Use Classes. In some instances an Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property may contain both Developed and Undeveloped Property. In such cases, the Acreage of the Assessor’s Parcel will be allocated between Developed Property and Undeveloped Property based on the portion of the Assessor’s Parcel for which building permits had been issued prior to May 1 of the prior Fiscal Year and the portion of the Assessor’s Parcel for which building permits had not been issued prior to May 1 of the prior Fiscal Year. Furthermore, Developed Property may contain more than one Land Use Class. In such cases, the Acreage that is considered Developed Property will be allocated between Residential Property and Non-Residential Property based on the amount of Acreage designated for each land use as determined by reference to the site plan approved for such Assessor’s Parcel. The Maximum Facilities Special Tax that can be levied on such Assessor’s Parcel will be the sum of the Maximum Facilities Special Tax that can be levied on each type of property located on that Assessor’s Parcel. The CFD Administrator’s allocation to each type of property will be final.

Undeveloped Property, Taxable Public Property and Taxable Property Owner Association Property. The Maximum Facilities Special Tax for each Assessor’s Parcel of Undeveloped Property, Taxable Public Property and Taxable Property Owner Association Property is $69,540 per Acre in Planning Area 1, $70,560 per Acre in Planning Area 2, $60,450 per Acre in Planning Area 3, and $61,530 per Acre in Planning Area 4. The Maximum Facilities Special Tax rates for Undeveloped Property, Taxable Public Property and Taxable Property Owner Association Property are not subject to escalation.

Method of Apportionment of Special Tax. Commencing with Fiscal Year 2024-25, and for each following Fiscal Year, the CFD Administrator will determine the Special Tax Requirement for Facilities and, subject to the Maximum Facilities Special Tax rates described above, will provide for the levy the Facilities Special Tax as follows:

First: The Facilities Special Tax shall be levied on each Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property in an amount equal to 100% of the applicable Assigned Facilities Special Tax; Second: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement for Facilities after the first step has been completed, the Facilities Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Assessor’s Parcel of Undeveloped Property at up to 100% of the Maximum Facilities Special Tax for Undeveloped Property; Third: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement for Facilities after the first two steps have been completed, then the levy of the Facilities Special Tax on each Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property for which the Maximum Facilities Special Tax is determined through the application of the Backup Facilities Special Tax shall be increased in equal percentages from the Assigned Facilities Special Tax up to the Maximum Facilities Special Tax for each such Assessor’s Parcel; Fourth: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement for Facilities after the first three steps have been completed, then the Facilities Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Assessor’s Parcel of Taxable Public Property and Taxable Property Owner Association Property at up to 100% of the Maximum Facilities Special Tax for Taxable Public Property and Taxable Property Owner Association Property, as needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement for Facilities.

Notwithstanding the above, the CFD Administrator will, in any Fiscal Year, calculate a levy Proportionately less than 100% of the Assigned Facilities Special Tax in step one above, when (i) the CFD Administrator is no longer required to provide for the levy of the Facilities Special Tax pursuant to steps two through four above in order to meet the Special Tax Requirement for Facilities; and (ii) all authorized Bonds for the District have already been issued or the City Council has covenanted that it will not issue any additional District bonds (except refunding bonds) to be supported by the Facilities Special Tax. The District has covenanted in the Indenture not to issue any Additional Bonds except to refund the Bonds or outstanding Additional Bonds. See “— No Additional Bonds Except For Refunding Bonds” below.

Further, notwithstanding the above, under no circumstances shall the Facilities Special Tax levied in any Fiscal Year against any Assessor’s Parcel of Residential Property for which an occupancy permit for private residential use has been issued (in accordance with Section 53321(d)(3) of the California Government Code), be increased as a consequence of delinquency or default by the owner of any other Assessor’s Parcel within the District by more than 10% above the amount that would have been levied in that Fiscal Year had there never been any such delinquencies or defaults. To the extent that the levy of the Facilities Special Tax on Residential Property is limited by the provision in the previous sentence, the levy of the Facilities Special Tax on each Assessor’s Parcel of Non-Residential Property shall continue in equal percentages up to 100% of the applicable Maximum Facilities Special Tax.

Prepayment of Special Taxes. The Facilities Special Tax obligation for an Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property or Undeveloped Property for which a building permit has been issued, may be prepaid in full, or in part, and only if there are no delinquent Special Taxes with respect to such Assessor’s Parcel at the time of prepayment, provided that the terms set forth under Section H of the Rate and Method are satisfied. The Prepayment Amount is calculated based on the Bond Redemption Amount plus Redemption Premium plus the Future Facilities Amount plus the Defeasance Amount plus the Administrative Fees and Expenses, less a credit for the resulting reduction in the Reserve Requirement for the Bonds (if any) and less an allocable share of capitalized interest (if any), all as specified in Appendix A — “RATE AND METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF SPECIAL TAX — Section H.” Mandatory redemption of Bonds from Special Tax prepayments may result in the reduction in the otherwise expected yield on such Bonds if the Bonds were purchased at a price greater than par. See “SPECIAL RISK FACTORS — Potential Early Redemption of Bonds from Special Tax Prepayments.” Term of Special Taxes. Pursuant to the Rate and Method, the Facilities Special Tax levy is authorized to be levied for a period not to exceed fifty years commencing with Fiscal Year 2024-25.

Estimated Debt Service Coverage. Based on the expected buildout of the District, Assigned Special Tax rates set forth in the Rate and Method are at least 110% of debt service on the Bonds in each Bond Year plus estimated Administrative Expenses of $40,000 escalating 2% each fiscal year beginning July 1, 2028. The District may levy up to the Maximum Special Tax rates on Taxable Property within the District. See “— Rate and Method of Apportionment — Maximum Special Tax, Assigned Special Tax and Backup Special Tax” and “— Rate and Method of Apportionment — Exempt Property.” Pursuant to the Rate and Method, the status of Developed Property is based on building permits issued as of May 1 of the Fiscal Year preceding the Fiscal Year for which the Special Tax is levied. As of October 1, 2026, building permits had been obtained for _________ of the parcels of Taxable Property within the District. For the projected Fiscal Year 2027-28 Special Tax levy, based on the development status within the District as of October 1, 2026, assuming no further development, ___ parcels of Taxable Property within the District will be classified as Developed Property and __ parcels within the District will be classified as Undeveloped Property. See “PROPERTY OWNERSHIP AND THE DEVELOPMENT.” Collection and Application of the Special Tax
The Special Tax is levied and collected by the Treasurer-Tax Collector of the County in the same manner and at the same time as ad valorem property taxes; provided, however, that the District may directly bill the Special Tax, may collect the Special Tax at a different time or in a different manner if necessary to meet its financial obligations, and may covenant to foreclose and may actually foreclose on delinquent Assessor’s Parcels as permitted by the Act.

The District has made certain covenants in the Indenture for the purpose of ensuring that the current maximum rates and method of collection of the Special Tax are not altered in a manner that would impair the District’s ability to collect a sufficient amount of the Special Tax to pay debt service on the Bonds and Administrative Expenses when due. First, the District has covenanted that, to the extent it is legally permitted to do so, it will not initiate proceedings under the Act to modify the Rate and Method if such modification would adversely affect the security for the Bonds and any Additional Bonds and if an initiative is adopted that purports to modify the Rate and Method in a manner that would adversely affect the security for the Bonds and any Additional Bonds, the District shall, to the extent permitted by law, commence and pursue reasonable legal actions to prevent the modification of the Rate and Method in a manner that would adversely affect the security for the Bonds and any Additional Bonds. Second, the District has covenanted not to authorize owners of taxable parcels within the District to satisfy Special Tax obligations by the tender of Bonds and any Additional Bonds unless the District shall have first obtained a report of an Independent Consultant certifying that doing so would not result in the District having insufficient Special Tax Revenues to pay the principal of and interest on all Outstanding Bonds and any Additional Bonds when due.

Although the Special Tax constitutes a lien on Taxable Property within the District, it does not constitute a personal indebtedness of the owners of such property within the District. Moreover, other overlapping general obligation debt already exists on the property located within the District and other future special tax and assessment liens and overlapping general obligation debt could come into existence in the future in certain situations without the consent or knowledge of the City or the landowners therein. See “SPECIAL RISK FACTORS — Parity Taxes and Special Assessments” herein. There is no assurance that property owners will be financially able to pay the annual Special Tax or that they will pay such taxes even if financially able to do so, all as more fully described in the section of this Official Statement entitled “SPECIAL RISK FACTORS.” Under the terms of the Indenture, the Trustee shall establish and maintain a separate Fund designated the “Special Tax Fund.” As soon as practicable after the receipt by the District of any Special Tax Revenues, but in any event no later than the date ten Business Days after such receipt, the District shall transfer such Special Tax Revenues to the Trustee for deposit in the Special Tax Fund; provided, however, that any portion of any such Special Tax Revenues that represents Special Tax prepayments that are to be applied to the payment of the redemption price of Bonds and any Additional Bonds in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture shall be identified to the Trustee as such by the District and shall be deposited in the Redemption Fund. See “— Special Tax Fund” below, “THE BONDS — Redemption — Mandatory Redemption from Special Tax Prepayments” and Appendix F — “SUMMARY OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE INDENTURE.” Covenant for Superior Court Foreclosure
Pursuant to Section 53356.1 of the Act, the District has covenanted in the Indenture that it will determine or cause to be determined, no later than September 15 of each year, whether or not any owners of property within the District are delinquent in the payment of the Special Tax levied thereon and that, if such delinquencies exist, the District will order and cause to be commenced no later than November 1, and thereafter diligently prosecute, an action in the superior court to foreclose the lien of the Special Tax or installment thereof not paid when due. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the District is not required under the Indenture to order the commencement of foreclosure proceedings if (a) the total Special Tax delinquency in the District for such Fiscal Year is less than 5% of the total amount of the Special Tax levied in such Fiscal Year, and (b) the amount then on deposit in the Reserve Fund is equal to the Reserve Requirement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the District determines that any single parcel is delinquent in excess of $5,000 in the payment of the Special Tax, then the District will diligently institute, prosecute and pursue foreclosure proceedings against such parcel.

The mere commencement of foreclosure proceedings will not assure a prompt and favorable resolution of Special Tax delinquencies. The ability of the District to foreclose the lien of delinquent unpaid Special Tax may be limited. See “SPECIAL RISK FACTORS — Bankruptcy and Legal Delays” and “SPECIAL RISK FACTORS — FDIC/Federal Government Interests in Properties.” Moreover, even if a judgment of foreclosure and order of sale is obtained, the District must cause a notice of levy to be issued. Under current law, the property owner has 120 days from the date of service of the notice of levy in which to redeem the subject property. If the property owner fails to redeem the property and it is sold, the property owner’s only remedy is an action to set aside the sale, which action must be brought within 90 days of the date of sale. If such an action results in the setting aside of the foreclosure sale, the judgment is revived, and the District would be entitled to receive interest on the revived judgment as if the sale had not been made. Under former law a property owner had a period of one year within which to redeem property to be sold, and the constitutionality of the legislation that eliminated the one year redemption period has not been tested.

There can be no assurance that, even if the subject property is sold, the proceeds from such sale will be sufficient to pay the delinquent installments of the Special Tax. The Act does not require the District or any other governmental agency to purchase or otherwise acquire any Assessor’s Parcel being sold if there is no other purchaser at such sale. The Act does require that property being sold pursuant to foreclosure under the Act must be sold for not less than the judgment amount (which must include reasonable attorneys’ fees, together with interest, penalties, and other authorized charges and costs) plus post judgment interest and authorized costs, unless a lower bid price is authorized by the Owners of not less than 75% by value of the Bonds and any Additional Bonds Outstanding.

Special Tax Fund
The Indenture provides that the Trustee will establish and maintain a separate Fund designated the “Special Tax Fund.” The Indenture requires that the District transfer Special Tax Revenues (other than Special Tax prepayments) to the Trustee for deposit into the Special Tax Fund as soon as practicable after the District’s receipt thereof, but in any event no later than ten Business Days after such receipt. No later than the Business Day immediately preceding each Interest Payment Date, after having made any requested transfers to the Administrative Expense Fund, as requested by the District, to have sufficient amounts available therein to pay Administrative Expenses, the Trustee is required by the Indenture to make transfers from the Special Tax Fund to the Interest Account in the Bond Fund, the Principal Account in the Bond Fund and the Reserve Fund in the amounts and in the priority specified in the Indenture. See Appendix F — “SUMMARY OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE INDENTURE.” As soon as practicable after the District’s receipt of Special Tax prepayments, but in any event no later than ten Business Days after such receipt, the District is required to transfer any Special Tax prepayment to the Trustee and, in connection therewith, submit to the Trustee a Written Certificate identifying such amounts as Special Tax prepayment, identifying the portion of such Special Tax prepayments so transferred that is to be applied to the Redemption Price of the Bonds and any Additional Bonds and identifying the portion of such Special Tax prepayment that is to be applied to the payment of interest on the Bonds and any Additional Bonds to be so redeemed. The portion of such Special Tax prepayment that is to be applied to the Redemption Price will be deposited by the Trustee in the Redemption Fund and will be applied to the redemption of the Bonds and any Additional Bonds pursuant to the Indenture. The portion of such Special Tax prepayment that is to be applied to the payment of interest on the Bonds and any Additional Bonds to be so redeemed will be deposited by the Trustee in the Interest Account and will be applied to the payment of such interest.

Reserve Fund
The Indenture provides that the Trustee will establish and maintain a separate Fund designated the “Reserve Fund.” On the Closing Date, the Trustee will deposit in the Reserve Fund the amount specified under the Indenture. See “ESTIMATED SOURCES AND USES OF FUNDS.” The Trustee is also required, not later than the Business Day immediately preceding each Interest Payment Date, to transfer from the Special Tax Fund (after the requisite transfers to the Administrative Expense Fund, the Interest Account and the Principal Account) the amount, if any, necessary to cause the amount on deposit in the Reserve Fund to be equal to the Reserve Requirement. The Indenture defines “Reserve Requirement” to mean, as of the date of any calculation, the least of (i) “10% of the proceeds of the issue,” within the meaning of Section 148 of the Code, with respect to the Bonds (excluding from such calculation Bonds and any Additional Bonds refunded with the proceeds of subsequently issued Additional Bonds secured by the Special Tax on a parity with such Bonds and Additional Bonds), (ii) Maximum Annual Debt Service and (iii) 125% of Average Annual Debt Service.

Except as otherwise provided in the Indenture, all amounts deposited in the Reserve Fund are to be used and withdrawn by the Trustee solely for the purpose of (i) making transfers to the Interest Account in accordance with the Indenture in the event that, on the Business Day prior to an Interest Payment Date, amounts in the Interest Account are insufficient to pay the interest on the Bonds and any Additional Bonds due and payable on such Interest Payment Date, (ii) making transfers to the Principal Account in accordance with the Indenture in the event that, on the Business Day prior to a September 1 on which principal of the Bonds and any Additional Bonds is due and payable (including principal due and payable by reason of mandatory sinking fund redemption of the Bonds and any Additional Bonds), amounts in the Principal Account are insufficient to pay such principal, and (iii) redeeming Bonds and any Additional Bonds in accordance with the Indenture as described in the following paragraph.

Whenever Bonds or any Additional Bonds are to be optionally redeemed or redeemed from Special Tax prepayments, a proportionate share (determined as provided below) of the amount on deposit in the Reserve Fund will, on the date on which amounts to redeem such Bonds and any Additional Bonds are deposited in the Redemption Fund or otherwise deposited with the Trustee, be transferred by the Trustee from the Reserve Fund to the Redemption Fund or to such deposit held by the Trustee and will be applied to the redemption of said Bonds and any Additional Bonds; provided that, such amount will be so transferred only if and to the extent that the amount remaining on deposit in the Reserve Fund will be at least equal to the Reserve Requirement (excluding from the calculation thereof said Bonds and any Additional Bonds to be redeemed). Such proportionate share will be equal to the largest integral multiple of the minimum Authorized Denomination for said Bonds and any Additional Bonds that is not larger than the amount equal to the product of (i) the amount on deposit in the Reserve Fund on the date of such transfer, times (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the principal amount of Bonds and any Additional Bonds to be so redeemed and the denominator of which is the principal amount of Bonds and any Additional Bonds to be Outstanding on the day prior to the date on which such Bonds and any Additional Bonds are to be so redeemed.

Whenever the balance in the Reserve Fund exceeds the amount required to redeem or pay all Outstanding Bonds and any Additional Bonds, including interest accrued to the date of payment or redemption and premium, if any, due upon redemption, the Trustee will, upon receipt of a Written Request of the District, transfer the amount in the Reserve Fund to the Interest Account, Principal Account and/or Redemption Fund, as applicable, to be applied, on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date to the payment and redemption of all of the Outstanding Bonds and any Additional Bonds. If, as a result of the scheduled payment of principal of or interest on the Bonds and any Additional Bonds, the Reserve Requirement is reduced, the Trustee will transfer an amount equal to the amount of such reduction to the Interest Account.

Investment of Moneys
All moneys in any of the Funds or Accounts are required to be invested by the Trustee solely in Permitted Investments, as directed in writing by the District. As used in the Indenture, the phrase “Permitted Investments” includes a variety of investments, some of which may not be rated by a national rating service. See Appendix F — “SUMMARY OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE INDENTURE — Definitions.” No Additional Bonds Except for Refunding Bonds
So long as any of the Bonds and any Additional Bonds remain Outstanding, the District will not issue any obligations payable from Net Special Tax Revenues senior to the Bonds. The District may issue Additional Bonds or obligations payable on a parity with the Bonds and any Additional Bonds, if, among other things: (i) upon the issuance of such Additional Bonds, no Event of Default will occur or be continuing under the Indenture; (ii) the proceeds of the Additional Bonds will be applied to refund the Bonds or any Additional Bonds previously issued under the Indenture, pay Costs of Issuance incurred in connection with the issuance of such Additional Bonds, and/or make any requisite deposit to the Reserve Fund; and (iii) the Annual Debt Service in each Bond Year, calculated for all Bonds and any Additional Bonds that will be Outstanding after the issuance of such Additional Bonds, will be less than or equal to Annual Debt Service in such Bond Year, calculated for all Bonds and any Additional Bonds that are Outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such Additional Bonds.

The District may issue obligations payable from Net Special Tax Revenues on a basis subordinate to the Bonds and any Additional Bonds.

THE COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT
General Information Regarding the District
The District was organized by the City Council under the Act to provide for the financing of public improvements to meet the needs of new development related to the District. The qualified electors within the boundaries of the District, being the then owners of all property in the District, authorized the District to incur bonded indebtedness to finance certain public facilities to meet the needs of new development within the District and approved the Rate and Method for and authorized the levy of the Special Tax.

The District includes approximately 36 gross acres and is located in the northwestern portion of 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.” 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, Risewell Homes Land Bank. See “PROPERTY 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, 21 of which are part of the product lines being built by Risewell Homes and 99 of which are part of the product lines being built by Richmond American. 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.

Within the District, building permits had been obtained for ____ planned residential units 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.” Per the current City General Plan and Zoning Map, the District is located within the Arboretum Specific Plan and is zoned RMF (or Residential Multifamily) which allows for residential land use with a density of 8.1 to 16.1 dwelling units per acre. Tract Map No. 20364, recorded ____________, subdivided the District into a single lot, and subsequent condominium maps further divided the property into 388 single family units (each of which is a separate Assessor’s Parcel subject to the levy of the Special Tax pursuant to the Rate and Method), [along with a community center and pool/spa, tot lot, gazebo area, outdoor exercise area, covered eating areas, setback areas and internal streets]. The approved condominium maps results in a density of approximately 9.89 for the Iris product line, 8.99 for the Flora product line, 13.06 for the Trellis product line, and 11.44 for the Marigold product line, each of which is within the approved designation.

Water service to the property within the District will be supplied by the West Valley Water District and sewer service to the property within the District will be supplied by the City. Electricity will be supplied by Southern California Edison Company, gas by the Southern California Gas Company and schools by the Fontana Unified School District.

Like all of Southern California, the land within the District is subject to seismic activity. The District is not located in a County Designated Fault Zone or an Earthquake Fault Zone Boundary. However, faults that have the potential to generate the strongest ground shaking in the Fontana area include the Cucamonga (thrust fault), the San Jacinto (strike-slip fault), and the San Andreas (strike-slip) fault. The Cucamonga fault is an active fault that crosses the northern portion of the City, trending northwest along the foot of the San Gabriel Mountains. The Lytle Creek Branch of the San Jacinto Fault is an active fault that crosses the extreme northeast portion of the City in a southeastern direction. There are several other faults that border the Lytle Creek alluvial basin, including the Chino, San Andreas and San Jacinto faults.

In recent years, wildfires have caused extensive damage throughout the State. The most significant recent fire near the City was the Bain Fire in Jurupa Valley, just across the Santa Ana River to the south. It started on May 19, 2026, in the river bottom near Bain Street and Limonite Avenue, and was declared 100% contained by May 29, 2026 after burning over 1,450 acres. There have been smaller fires, such as the 147-acre Sierra Fire that burned in November 2018 and the 277-acre Karen Fire in July 2020. Per the State of California’s Fire Hazard Map, the District is within a local Responsibility Area with a recommendation for the District to be in a very high fire severity zone. Per the City’s General Plan and Zoning Map, the District is located within a local responsibility area that is contiguous to a very high fire hazard area. A copy of the CalFire Fire Hazard Zone mad is located in the addenda to the Appraisal attached to this Official Statement as Appendix B. See Appendix B — “APPRIASAL REPORT.” While the District is not aware of any particular risk of wildfire within the District other than such designation, there can be no assurances that wildfires won’t occur within the District. See “SPECIAL RISK FACTORS — Geologic, Topographic and Climatic Conditions.” The Federal Emergency Management Agency has determined that the District is located in a Zone “X” flood area (an area determined to be outside of the 0.2 percent annual chance floodplain), and flood insurance will not be required.

An aerial photo showing the taxable property within the District and a map showing the general location of the District and the surrounding area appears on the pages before page 1. More detailed information about the property therein is contained in Appendix B — “APPRAISAL REPORT,” and information about the ownership of such property is set forth under the caption “PROPERTY OWNERSHIP AND THE DEVELOPMENT.” General information about the City is set forth in Appendix E.

Direct and Overlapping Debt
The District is included within the boundaries of numerous overlapping local agencies providing governmental services. Some of these local agencies have outstanding bonds, and/or the authority to issue bonds, payable from taxes or assessments. The existing indebtedness payable from taxes and assessments that may be levied upon the property within the District is shown in Table 2 below. In addition to current debt, new community facilities districts and/or special assessment districts could be formed in the future encompassing all or a portion of the property within the District; and such districts or the agencies that formed them could issue more bonds and levy additional special taxes or assessments.

Property Values
Appraisal. In order to provide information with respect to the value of the land within the District, the District engaged Kitty Siino & Associates, Inc. to prepare the Appraisal. The principal of the Appraiser, who was actively involved in the preparation of the Appraisal, has an “MAI” designation from the Appraisal Institute and has prepared numerous appraisals for the sale of land secured municipal bonds. The Appraiser was selected by the District and has no material relationships with the City, the District or the owners of the land within the District other than the relationship represented by the engagement to prepare the Appraisal and other similar engagements for the City. The City instructed the Appraiser to prepare its analysis and report in conformity with City-approved guidelines and the Appraisal Standards for Land Secured Financings published in 1994 and revised in 2004 by the commission now known as California Debt and Investment Advisory Commission. A copy of the Appraisal is included as Appendix B to this Official Statement.

The purpose of the Appraisal was to estimate the minimum market value of the fee simple estate, subject to special tax and special assessment liens, of the property within the District in its current condition. 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, Richmond American owned eight completed model units (none of which were in escrow), 29 homes over 95% complete (two of which were in escrow), and 38 finished lots (none of which were in escrow). 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 25 finished lots (none of which were in escrow). Additionally, as of August 7, 2026, Risewell Homes Land Bank owned 142 finished lots.

Subject to the contingencies, assumptions and limiting conditions set forth in the Appraisal, the Appraiser concluded that, as of August 7, 2026, the minimum market value of the Taxable Property within the District was not less than $144,878,560, consisting of $71,503,520 for the 120 completed units conveyed to individual homeowners, $27,745,624 for the 16 completed or near completed homes and 38 finished lots owned by Richmond American, and $14,547,038 for the 35 completed or near completed homes and 36 finished lots and homes under construction owned by Risewell Homes, and $31,082,378 for the 142 finished lots owned by Risewell Homes Land Bank. See Appendix B — “APPRAISAL REPORT.” Reference is made to Appendix B for a complete list and full discussion of the applicable contingencies, assumptions and limiting conditions and the methodology employed by the Appraiser. In the event that any of the contingencies, assumptions and limiting conditions are not actually realized, the value of the property within the District may be less than the amount reported in the Appraisal. In any case, there can be no assurance that any portion of the property within the District would actually sell for the amount indicated by the Appraisal.

The Appraisal merely indicates the Appraiser’s opinion as to the minimum market value of the property referred to therein as of the date and under the conditions specified therein. The Appraiser’s opinion reflects conditions prevailing in the applicable market as of the date of value. The Appraiser’s opinion does not predict the future value of the subject property, and there can be no assurance that market conditions will not adversely change in the future.

The Appraiser has specifically consented to the inclusion of the Appraisal in this Official Statement. Nevertheless, the Appraisal contains the following statement:

The acceptance of and/or use of this appraisal report by the client or any third party constitutes acceptance of the following conditions:

The liability of Kitty Siino &Associates, Inc. and the appraisers responsible for this report is limited to the client only and to the fee actually received by the appraisers. Further, there is no accountability, obligation or liability to any third-party. If the appraisal report is placed in the hands of anyone other than the client for whom this report was prepared, the client shall make such party and/or parties aware of all limiting conditions and assumptions of this assignment and related discussions. Any party who uses or relies upon any information in this report, without the preparer’s written consent, does so at his own risk.

If the client or any third party brings legal action against Kitty Siino &Associates, Inc. or the signer of the Appraisal and the appraisers prevail, the party initiating such legal action shall reimburse Kitty Siino &Associates, Inc. and/or the appraisers for any and all costs of any nature, including attorneys’ fees, incurred in their defense.

It is a condition precedent to the issuance of the Bonds that the Appraiser deliver to the District a certification to the effect that nothing has come to the attention of the Appraiser subsequent to the date of value of the Appraisal that would cause the Appraiser to believe that the value of property in the District is less than the minimum value reported in the Appraisal. However, the Appraiser has not performed any procedures since the date of value to obtain knowledge of such events or occurrences nor is it obligated to do so in the future.

Value-to-Lien Ratios
The value of the property within the District is significant because, in the event of a delinquency in the payment of the Special Tax, the District may foreclose only against delinquent parcels. Likewise, the ratio of the value of a parcel to its “share” of the Bonds is important because it provides an indication of the extent of the relative burden imposed on each parcel by the applicable Special Tax. As indicated above, the minimum market value of the property within the District is not less than $144,878,560. The ratio of that value to the $18,450,000* total principal amount of the Bonds is approximately 7.85*-to-1. This ratio does not include other overlapping general obligation debt within the District. At this time there is no other overlapping land secured special tax or assessment debt within the District. See “— Direct and Overlapping Debt.” Taking the $18,450,000* principal amount of the Bonds and $1,566,550 in other overlapping general obligation debt within the District into account, the ratio of the minimum market value to the total amount of direct and overlapping bonded debt for the District of $20,016,550* is approximately 7.24*-to-1. Table 4 sets forth the minimum market valueto-lien ratios of all the taxable property within the District by development status as of August 7, 2026 based on the projected Fiscal Year 2027-28 Special Tax levy.

The following Table 5 sets forth the value-to-lien ratios within the District by land use class under the Rate and Method using the principal amount of the Bonds allocated based on the projected Fiscal Year 2027-28 Special Tax levy.

Each of the aforesaid value-to-lien ratios is for the entire District, however, the ratios of the value of individual lots within the District to their respective shares of the principal amount of the Bonds can be expected to vary substantially depending upon the selling price thereof. The following Table 6 sets forth the stratification of value-to-liens of the parcels within the District, based on the appraised value of such parcels set forth in the Appraisal and such parcels’ respective shares of the principal amount of the Bonds (allocated to each parcel based upon its respective share of the total projected Fiscal Year 2027-28 Special Tax levy) and the ratio of the appraised value to its share of the Bonds. Taxable property within the District will be classified as “Developed Property” for purposes of the Fiscal Year 2027-28 Special Tax levy if a building permit for such property is obtained by May 1, 2027. Based on the development status within the District as of August 7, 2026, building permits had been issued for 220 residential parcels of Taxable Property within the District; accordingly, such 220 residential parcels within the District will be classified as Developed Property for purposes of the projected Fiscal Year 2027-28 Special Tax levy, and the remaining 168 finished lots within the District will be classified as undeveloped property for purposes of the projected Fiscal Year 2027-28 Special Tax levy unless building permits are obtained for such parcels by May 1, 2027. Since August 7, 2026, as of October 1, 2026, an additional _________ building permits had been obtained within the District, for a total of ______________.

PROPERTY OWNERSHIP AND THE DEVELOPMENT
Representatives of the Developers have provided the information in this section regarding the Developers and their ownership and development within the District. None of the Underwriter, the District nor the City has independently confirmed or verified the information in this section of the Official Statement nor does any such party make any representation as to accuracy or adequacy of this information. Further, there may be material adverse changes in this information after the date of this Official Statement.

The information in this section of the Official Statement regarding ownership of certain taxable property in the District has been included because it is considered relevant to an informed evaluation of the Bonds. The inclusion in this Official Statement of information related to the Developers should not be construed to suggest that the Bonds, or the Special Tax that will be used to pay the Bonds, are recourse obligations of the Developers, or any other property owner in the District. A property owner may sell or otherwise dispose of land within the District or a development or any interest therein at any time.

No assurance can be given that the proposed development within the District will occur as described below. As the proposed land development progresses and parcels are sold, it is expected that the ownership of the land within the District will become more diversified. No assurance can be given that development of the land within the District will occur in a timely manner or in the configuration or intensity described herein, or that any landowner described herein will obtain or retain ownership of any of the land within the District.

The Bonds and the Special Tax are not personal obligations of the Developers or any other current or subsequent property owners and, in the event that the Developers or any other current or subsequent property owner defaults in the payment of the Special Tax, the City may proceed with judicial foreclosure but has no direct recourse to the assets of the such delinquent Property Owner or any other current or subsequent property owner.

Risewell Homes’s development expectations described above are based on Risewell Homes’s current plans. These plans may change due to changes in economic and market conditions or other factors. No assurance can be given that home construction and sales will be carried out on the schedule and according to the plans described herein, or that the home construction and sale plans or base prices set forth above will not change after the date of this Official Statement. Risewell Homes reserves the right to change its development plans at any time without notice. Additionally, homes sold may not result in closed escrows as sales contracts are subject to cancellation.

Required Infrastructure. All backbone infrastructure required to build-out all 174 residential units within the Trellis and Marigold product lines within the District has been completed.

Entitlement Status. Other than certain permits required in the normal course of home construction, all discretionary entitlements required to complete the development and sales of homes in the Trellis and Marigold product lines within the District have been received. All environmental approvals have been secured in order to complete the development in the Trellis and Marigold product lines within the District.

Conditions of Approval. None of the remaining infrastructure improvements are required to be completed as a condition of receiving building or occupancy permits for the Trellis and Marigold product lines within the District.

Except as described in this Official Statement and except for those consents, permits, authorizations, certifications and approvals of governmental entities required in the ordinary course of development, Risewell Homes has no actual knowledge of any impediment to construction or obtaining land use entitlements which could be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on its ability to complete the planned development of its property within the District as described in the Official Statement.

Financing Plan. Risewell Homes intends to finance the development of the Trellis and Marigold product lines using internal sources (which may include home sales revenues, funding from its parent company, and borrowings under the Credit Facility (described below). However, home sales revenues from Risewell Homes’s Trellis and Marigold product lines are not segregated and set aside for completing the development of the Trellis and Marigold product lines. Home sales revenue is accumulated and used to pay costs of operations for Risewell Homes and its affiliates, to pay down debt and for other corporate purposes, and may be diverted to pay costs other than the costs of completing the Trellis and Marigold product lines at the discretion of management. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Risewell Homes believes that it will have sufficient funds available to complete its proposed development activities in the District in accordance with the development timing described in this Official Statement.

As of October 1, 2026, Risewell Homes’s ultimate parent, Risewell Homes Company Inc. (previously defined herein as “Risewell Homes Inc.”), was a party to a $600 million unsecured revolving credit facility with JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “Credit Facility”) which matures in June 2029. The Credit Facility contains a borrowing base and certain covenants and conditions that may limit the amount that Risewell Homes may borrow or have outstanding at any time. As of October 1, 2026, Risewell Homes had drawn approximately $______________ million under the Credit Facility and had an available amount of approximately $____________ million.

Risewell Homes estimates that, as of October 1, 2026, it has spent approximately $_____________ on development of its Trellis and Marigold product lines, including land acquisition costs, site development costs, permits and fees, direct and indirect home construction costs, and marketing and sales costs and expenses (exclusive of internal financing repayment, corporate overhead and other carry costs). Risewell Homes expects to incur an additional approximately $___________ between October 1, 2026 and full buildout of its Trellis and Marigold product lines, remaining land acquisition costs, site development costs, permits and fees, direct and indirect home construction costs, and marketing and sales costs and expenses (exclusive of internal financing repayment, corporate overhead and other carry costs).

No assurance can be given that amounts necessary to fund the remaining planned land acquisition and development by Risewell Homes in the District will be available when needed. Neither Risewell Homes nor any other entity or person is under any legal obligation of any kind to expend funds for remaining land acquisition and the development of the property planned by Risewell Homes in the District. Any contributions by Risewell Homes or any other entity or person to fund such costs are entirely voluntary. Risewell Homes has no legal obligation to the Bond holders to make any such funds available for land acquisition, construction or development, or the payment of ad valorem property taxes or the Special Taxes.

If and to the extent the aforementioned sources are inadequate to pay the costs to complete the remaining planned land acquisition and development by Risewell Homes in the District and other financing is not put into place, there could be a shortfall in the funds required to complete the proposed land acquisition and development by Risewell Homes or to pay ad valorem property taxes or Special Taxes related to Risewell Homes’s property in the District and the remaining portions of such development may not be completed. Many factors beyond Risewell Homes’s control, or a decision by Risewell Homes to alter its current plans, may cause the actual sources and uses to differ from the projections. See “SPECIAL RISK FACTORS — Failure to Develop Properties.” Risewell Homes Land Bank Arrangement
As previously defined in this Official Statement, “Risewell Homes Land Bank” is TPG AG EHCIII (NWHM) CA 2, L.P, a Delaware limited partnership. Risewell Homes acquired the property being developed into the Trellis and Marigold product lines from the Master Developer on October 1, 2024 (the “Risewell Homes Property”). Prior to the close of escrow on the Risewell Homes Property, Risewell Homes assigned the Risewell Homes Property to Risewell Homes Land Bank, which is serving as land bank to Risewell Homes. Risewell Homes Land Bank is not an affiliate of Risewell Homes or the Master Developer.

To facilitate the land banking structure, Risewell Homes and Risewell Homes Land Bank entered into that certain Option Agreement, dated October 1, 2024 (as amended, the “Risewell Homes Option Agreement”) whereby Risewell Homes has the option, but not the obligation, to purchase the 214 Risewell Homes Property lots from Risewell Homes Land Bank pursuant to a takedown schedule.

In addition to the Risewell Homes Option Agreement, TNHC Realty and Construction Inc. (the “Contractor”), an affiliate of Risewell Homes, and Risewell Homes Land Bank entered into a Construction Agreement (the “Risewell Homes Construction Agreement”) granting Contractor the right to enter upon the land subject to the Risewell Homes Option Agreement, for the purpose of, among other things, constructing related improvements thereon before Risewell Homes acquires the land subject to the Risewell Homes Option Agreement from Risewell Homes Land Bank. Pursuant to the Risewell Homes Option Agreement, Risewell Homes has the right to enter upon the land subject to the Risewell Homes Option Agreement for the purpose of constructing homes thereon before Risewell Homes acquires such lots.

During the term of the Risewell Homes Option Agreement, Risewell Homes is obligated to pay all taxes on the subject land, including the Special Taxes. Upon termination or expiration thereof, Risewell Homes Land Bank would be solely responsible for the payment of taxes, including the Special Taxes, for any land that it owns.

Under the terms of the Risewell Homes Option Agreement, Risewell Homes Land Bank granted Risewell Homes the exclusive right and option to purchase all 214 residential lots subject to the Risewell Homes Option Agreement in consideration for, among other things, (a) an initial option payment, which payment has been made to Risewell Homes Land Bank; (b) payment and performance by Contractor of its obligations under the Construction Agreement; and (c) upon exercise of the option, the payment of the purchase price for each set of lots acquired.

The Risewell Homes Property lots are scheduled to be acquired by Risewell Homes pursuant to a takedown schedule, typically on the 18th calendar day of every third month beginning in September, 2025, through December, 2027, and [the Trellis lots] must be purchased in certain groups known as phases, although Risewell Homes may acquire lots in a higher numbered phase prior to the acquisition of all lots in a lower numbered phase provided Risewell Homes complies with certain “out of sequence” rules and pays an out of sequence premium under certain circumstances. Additionally, Risewell Homes has the right lots ahead of the takedown schedule and to defer acquisition of a limited number of lots for a period of one month at a time so long as Risewell Homes pays a per lot hiatus fee each time Risewell Homes elects to defer such acquisition and complies with the terms under the Risewell Homes Option Agreement for such deferred lots. The failure to timely acquire lots according to the Risewell Homes Option Agreement could result in a termination of the Risewell Homes Option Agreement, which could result in Risewell Homes no longer having a right to purchase any of the remaining lots under the Risewell Homes Option Agreement.

As of October 1, 2026, 142 Risewell Homes lots remain to be taken down by Risewell Homes under the Risewell Homes Option Agreement. The following table reflects Risewell Homes’s projected takedown schedule for acquiring the remaining Risewell Homes lots, which is subject to amendment from time to time:

The option under the Risewell Homes Option Agreement expires on the earlier of (i) the last date permitted for the final takedown specified on the takedown schedule in the Risewell Homes Option Agreement and the expiration of any applicable cure period, or (ii) the date Risewell Homes has acquired all of the applicable Risewell Homes Property lots in accordance with the Risewell Homes Option Agreement, or (iii) at Risewell Homes Land Bank’s option, upon a default by Risewell Homes. The failure to timely acquire lots under the Risewell Homes Option Agreement could result in the termination of the Risewell Homes Option Agreement and Risewell Homes will no longer have a right to purchase any of the remaining lots under the Risewell Homes Option Agreement.

Risewell Homes Land Bank is serving as the land bank for Risewell Homes and is not a homebuilder. In the event Risewell Homes does not acquire all lots owned by Risewell Homes Land Bank, or the right to purchase the Risewell Homes Property lots expires or is terminated, Risewell Homes Land Bank would likely attempt to market and sell such lots to another homebuilder.

Risewell Homes Land Bank. According to Risewell Homes Land Bank, Risewell Homes Land Bank is an affiliate of, and managed by, Angelo Gordon & Co., L.P. (previously defined herein as Angelo Gordon). Angelo Gordon is a privately-held alternative investment firm founded in 1988 and headquartered in New York, with associated offices across the United States, Europe and Asia. Angelo Gordon manages approximately $73 billion across a broad range of credit and real estate strategies. Neither Risewell Homes Land Bank nor Angelo Gordon are affiliated entities of Risewell Homes or the Master Developer.

Richmond American’s development expectations described above are based on Richmond American’s current plans. These plans may change due to changes in economic and market conditions or other factors. No assurance can be given that home construction and sales will be carried out on the schedule and according to the plans described herein, or that the home construction and sale plans or base prices set forth above will not change after the date of this Official Statement. Richmond American reserves the right to change its development plans at any time without notice. Additionally, homes sold may not result in closed escrows as sales contracts are subject to cancellation. [Required Infrastructure.

Other than certain permits required in the normal course of home construction, all discretionary entitlements required to complete the development and sales of homes in the Iris and Flora product lines within the District have been received. All environmental approvals have been secured in order to complete the development in the Iris and Flora product lines within the District.

Conditions of Approval. None of the remaining infrastructure improvements are required to be completed as a condition of receiving building or occupancy permits for the Iris and Flora product lines within the District.] Except as described in this Official Statement and except for those consents, permits, authorizations, certifications and approvals of governmental entities required in the ordinary course of development, Richmond American has no actual knowledge of any impediment to construction or obtaining land use entitlements which could be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on its ability to complete the planned development of its property within the District as described in the Official Statement.

Financing Plan. Richmond American intends to finance the development of the Iris and Flora product lines in the District through internally generated funds, which may include home sales revenue and funding from its parent company SHUS. However, home sales revenues for Richmond American’s project in the District are not segregated and set aside for completing its project in the District.

Richmond American estimates that, as of October 1, 2026, it has spent approximately $______________ on development of the Iris and Flora product lines in the District, including land acquisition costs, site development costs, permits and fees, direct and indirect home construction costs, and marketing and sales costs and expenses (exclusive of corporate overhead and other carry costs). Richmond American expects to incur ad additional approximately $___________ between October 1, 2026 and full buildout of the Iris and Flora product lines in the District, including site development costs, permits and fees, direct and indirect home construction costs, and marketing and sales costs and expenses (exclusive of corporate overhead and other carry costs).

No assurance can be given that amounts necessary to fund the remaining land acquisition costs and planned development by Richmond American of the Iris and Flora product lines in the District will be available when needed. Neither Richmond American nor any other entity or person is under any legal obligation of any kind to expend funds for the development of the property as planned by Richmond American in the District. Any contributions by Richmond American or any other entity or person to fund such costs are entirely voluntary. Richmond American has no legal obligation to Bond holders to make any such funds available for construction or development, or the payment of ad valorem property taxes or the Special Taxes.

If and to the extent the aforementioned sources are inadequate to pay the costs to complete the remaining planned development by Richmond American in the District and other financing is not put into place, there could be a shortfall in the funds required to complete the proposed development by Richmond American or to pay ad valorem property taxes or Special Taxes related to Richmond American’s property in the District and the remaining portions of such development may not be completed. Many factors beyond Richmond American’s control, or a decision by Richmond American to alter its current plans, may cause the actual sources and uses to differ from the projections. See “SPECIAL RISK FACTORS – Failure to Develop Properties” herein.

SPECIAL RISK FACTORS
The principal source of payment of debt service on the Bonds will be payments of the Special Tax made with respect to the Taxable Property. As discussed under “SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE BONDS — Special Tax,” the Special Tax is to be levied annually against all such Taxable Property either at the maximum rate authorized by the Rate and Method or at such lower rates as are determined by the District Administrator to raise sufficient funds to comply with the agreements, conditions, covenants and terms contained in the Indenture, and in accordance with the Act. The Special Tax is to be collected on the tax roll of the District at the same time and in the same manner as general ad valorem real property taxes are collected. The Special Tax cannot be levied at a tax rate higher than the maximum tax rate even if the maximum tax rate will not produce sufficient Net Special Tax Revenues to pay the principal and interest then payable with respect to the Bonds. See discussions below under “— Levy of the Special Tax” and “— Collection of the Special Tax.” Payment of the Special Tax levied on a parcel is secured by a continuing lien against such parcel. In the event an installment of the Special Tax included in the tax bill for a parcel of Taxable Property is not paid when due, the District has covenanted to institute foreclosure proceedings in court to cause the parcel to be sold in order to attempt to recover the delinquent amount from the sale proceeds. Foreclosure and sale may not always result in the recovery of the full amount of delinquent installments of the Special Tax. See “— Collection of the Special Tax.” The sufficiency of the foreclosure sale proceeds to cover the delinquent amount depends in part upon the market for and the value of the parcel at the time of the sale. Sufficiency of the foreclosure sale proceeds to cover a delinquency may also depend upon the value of prior or parity liens and similar claims. Further, other governmental claims, such as hazardous substance claims, may affect the realizable value even though such claims may not rise to the status of liens. See “— Hazardous Substances.” Timely foreclosure and sale proceedings with respect to a parcel of Taxable Property may be forestalled or delayed by a stay in the event the owner of the parcel becomes the subject of bankruptcy proceedings. Not only may foreclosure and sale proceedings be forestalled or delayed, but the sale of a parcel may also be similarly affected by a bankruptcy stay. Further, should the stay not be lifted, payment of the Special Tax may be subordinated to bankruptcy law priorities. See “— Bankruptcy and Legal Delays.” Although bankruptcy proceedings may forestall or delay a foreclosure and sale or a tax sale of a delinquent parcel of Taxable Property, the Special Tax is secured by a lien which, assuming proper procedures are followed, may be enforced against the parcel. There may not be any recourse against a bankrupt property owner since the owner is not personally obligated to pay the Special Tax. Further, if proper disclosure of the authorization of the Special Tax is not made to the owner, the willingness or ability of an owner to pay the Special Tax may be adversely affected. See “— Payment of the Special Tax is Not a Personal Obligation of the Owners.” The District is not obligated to advance funds to pay such debt service except from moneys on deposit in the Reserve Fund. See “— Bonds Are Limited Obligations.” Even if debt service is timely paid, interest on the Bonds may have to be included in the gross income of the owner of the Bonds by reason of some circumstance occurring subsequent to issuance of the Bonds, thereby reducing the after-tax yield. See “— Loss of Tax Exemption.” Risks of Real Estate Secured Investments Generally – Declines in Value Purchasers of the Bonds will be subject to the risks generally incident to an investment secured by real estate, including, without limitation, (i) adverse changes in local market conditions, such as changes in the market value of real property in the vicinity of the District, the supply of or demand for competitive properties in such area, and the market value of property in the event of sale or foreclosure; (ii) changes in real estate tax rates and other operating expenses, governmental rules and fiscal policies; and (iii) natural disasters (including, without limitation, earthquakes, wildfires and floods), which may result in uninsured losses. See the caption “— Increasing Mortgage Interest Rates” below.

No assurance can be given that the individual property owners within the District will pay the Special Tax in the future or that they will be able to pay the Special Tax on a timely basis. See the caption “— Bankruptcy and Legal Delays” for a discussion of certain limitations on the District’s ability to pursue judicial proceedings with respect to delinquent parcels within the District.

Levy of the Special Tax
The principal source of money with which to pay debt service on the Bonds is the proceeds derived from the annual levy and collection of the Special Tax applicable to the Taxable Property in the District. The amount of the Special Tax that can be levied is limited to the maximum tax rates authorized pursuant to the Rate and Method. Additionally, pursuant to Section 53321(d) of the Government Code, the Special Tax levied against any Assessor’s parcel for which an occupancy permit for private residential use has been issued shall not be increased as a consequence of delinquency or default by the owner of any other Assessor’s parcel within the District by more than ten percent above the amount that would have been levied in that fiscal year had there never been any such delinquencies or defaults. As a result, it is possible that the District may not be able to increase the tax levy to the Assigned Special Tax on residential parcels in all years. The levies cannot be made at higher rates even if the failure to do so would result in insufficient Net Special Tax Revenues to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds as the same become due and payable.

The levy of the Special Tax will rarely, if ever, result in a uniform relationship between the value of a particular parcel and the amount of the levy of the Special Tax against such parcel. Thus, there will rarely, if ever, be a uniform relationship between the value of a parcel and its proportionate share of the debt service on the Bonds. The Special Tax levied in any particular Fiscal Year on a parcel is based upon the revenue needs of the District and the application of the Rate and Method. The application of the Rate and Method will, in turn, be dependent upon certain development factors with respect to each parcel by comparison with similar development factors with respect to the other parcels in the District. Thus, in addition to annual variations in the revenue needs of the District that must be met from the Special Tax, the following are some of the factors which might cause the levy of the Special Tax on any particular parcel to vary from the Special Tax that might otherwise be expected:

Reduction in the number of parcels of Taxable Property, for reasons such as acquisition of such parcels by a governmental entity and failure of the governmental entity to pay the Special Tax based upon a claim of exemption or, in the case of the federal government or an agency thereof, immunity from taxation, thereby resulting in an increased tax burden on the remaining parcels of Taxable Property; and Failure of the owners of certain parcels of Taxable Property to pay the applicable Special Tax and delays in the collection of or inability to collect such Special Tax by tax sale or foreclosure and sale of the delinquent parcels, thereby resulting in an increased tax burden on the remaining parcels of Taxable Property.

Collection of the Special Tax
The timely payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds is ultimately dependent upon the timely payment of all of the Special Tax. Any money on deposit in the Reserve Fund can be used to make such payment in the event of delinquencies, but the replenishment of the Reserve Fund will be dependent on the recovery of such delinquencies. The Indenture provides that the Special Tax is to be collected in the same manner and at the same time and in the same installment as the general taxes on real property are payable (or in such other manner as the City Council shall determine, including direct billing of the affected property owners) and, except as provided in the special covenant for foreclosure described under the caption “SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE BONDS — Covenant for Superior Court Foreclosure” and in the Act, is to be subject to the same proportionate penalties and the same procedure, sale and lien priority in case of delinquency as is provided for ad valorem taxes on real property.

Pursuant to the Act, in the event of any delinquency in the payment of the Special Tax, the District may order the institution of a superior court action to foreclose the lien therefor within specified time limits. In such an action, the real property subject to the unpaid amount may be sold at judicial foreclosure sale. Such judicial foreclosure action is not mandatory. However, the District has covenanted for the benefit of the owners of the Bonds that it will institute foreclosure proceedings as authorized by the Act in order to enforce the lien of the delinquent installments of the Special Tax under certain circumstances. See “SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE BONDS — Covenant for Superior Court Foreclosure.” In the event that foreclosure proceedings are commenced, such foreclosure proceedings could be stayed by the commencement of bankruptcy proceedings by or against the owner of the property being foreclosed. In the event that sales or foreclosures of property are necessary, there could be a delay in payments to Owners of the Bonds pending such sales or the prosecution of foreclosure proceedings and receipt by the District of the proceeds of sale if the Reserve Fund is depleted.

The District may be unable to make full or timely payment of debt service on the Bonds if property owners in the District fail to pay installments of the Special Tax when due, if the Reserve Fund is depleted, or if the District is unable to sell foreclosed parcels for amounts sufficient to cover the delinquent installments of the Special Tax.

Failure to Develop Properties
Development of property within the District may be subject to unexpected delays, disruptions and changes which may affect the willingness and ability of the Developers, Risewell Homes Land Bank, or any other property owner to pay the Special Tax prior to delinquency. Land development is subject to comprehensive federal, State and local regulations. Approval is required from various agencies in connection with the layout and design of developments, the nature and extent of improvements, construction activity, land use, zoning, school and health requirements, as well as numerous other matters. There is always the possibility that such approvals will not be obtained or, if obtained, will not be obtained on a timely basis. Failure to obtain any such agency approval or satisfy such governmental requirements would adversely affect planned land development. Development of land in the District is also subject to the availability of water. Finally, development of land is subject to economic considerations.

As of August 7, 2026, within the District, 120 residential units had been completed and conveyed to individual homeowners. 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 25 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. As of August 7, 2026, Richmond American owned eight completed model units (none of which were in escrow), 29 homes over 95% complete (two of which were in escrow), and 38 finished lots (none of which were in escrow). Since August 7, 2026, as of October 1, 2026, Risewell Homes and Richmond American had conveyed an additional ___ and ____ completed homes to individual homeowners, respectively. Sales contracts are subject to cancelation and, therefore, homes currently in escrow may not result in closed escrows with the prospective homebuyers. 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 “THE COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT” and “PROPERTY OWNERSHIP AND THE DEVELOPMENT.” However, no assurance can be given that the remaining proposed residential development will be partially or fully completed; and for purposes of evaluating the investment quality of the Bonds, prospective purchasers should consider the possibility that such parcels will remain vacant and unimproved.

Undeveloped or partially developed land is inherently less valuable than developed land and provides less security to the Bond Owners should it be necessary for the District to foreclose on the property due to the nonpayment of the Special Tax. The failure to complete development in the District as planned, or substantial delays in the completion of the development may reduce the value of the property within the District and increase the length of time during which the Special Tax will be payable from undeveloped property, and may affect the willingness and ability of the owners of property within the District to pay the Special Tax prior to delinquency.

There can be no assurance that land development operations within the District will not be adversely affected by a future deterioration of the real estate market and economic conditions or future local, State and federal governmental policies relating to real estate development, an increase in mortgage interest rates, the income tax treatment of real property ownership, or the national economy. A slowdown of the development process and the absorption rate could adversely affect land values and reduce the ability or desire of the property owners to pay the annual Special Tax. In that event, there could be a default in the payment of principal of, and interest on, the Bonds when due.

Bond Owners should assume that any event that significantly impacts the ability to develop land in the District would cause the property values within the District to decrease substantially from those estimated by the Appraiser and could affect the willingness and ability of the owners of land within the District to pay the Special Tax prior to delinquency.

Concentration of Property Ownership
Based on the development and ownership status as of August 7, 2026, Risewell Homes is expected to be responsible for approximately 43.77% of the projected Fiscal Year 2027-28 Special Tax levied within the District, including 13.63% of the projected Fiscal Year 2027-28 Special Tax levy for the lots Risewell Homes owned as of such date and 30.14% of the projected Fiscal Year 2027-28 Special Tax levy for the lots owned by Risewell Homes Land Bank as of such date. See “PROPERTY OWNERSHIP AND THE DEVELOPMENT — Risewell Homes Land Bank Arrangement” herein. Based on the development and ownership status as of August 7, 2026, Richmond American is expected to be responsible for approximately 20.93% of the projected Fiscal Year 2027-28 Special Tax levied within the District. Since August 7, 2026, as of October 1, 2026, Risewell Homes and Richmond American had conveyed an additional ___ and ____ completed homes to individual homeowners, respectively, and as of such date Risewell Homes and Richmond American are expected to be responsible for approximately ___% and ___% of the projected Fiscal Year 2027-28 Special Tax levy, respectively.

While the District includes ___________ completed residential units owned by individual homeowners as of October 1, 2026, the inability or refusal of the Developer or Risewell Homes Land Bank to pay the Special Tax applicable to its property when due could result in the depletion of the Reserve Fund prior to reimbursement thereof from sale or foreclosure proceedings, and/or insufficient money with which to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds as the same became due. Additionally, pursuant to the Act, the Special Tax levied in any fiscal year against any parcel of residential property in the District may not be increased as a consequence of delinquency or default by the owners of any other parcels within the District by more than 10% above the amount that would have been levied in that fiscal year had there never been any such delinquencies or default. As a result, while the Maximum Special Tax pursuant to the Rate and Method may be higher, the Maximum Special Tax on parcels of residential parcels cannot be greater than 110% of the projected actual Special Tax levy on such parcels.

Exempt Properties
Certain properties are exempt from the Special Tax in accordance with the Rate and Method. In addition, the Act provides that properties or entities of the state, federal or local government are exempt from the Special Tax; provided, however, that property in the District acquired by a public entity through a negotiated transaction or by gift or devise, which is not otherwise exempt from the Special Tax, will continue to be subject to the Special Tax. In addition, the Act provides that if property subject to the Special Tax is acquired by a public entity through eminent domain proceedings, the obligation to pay the Special Tax with respect to that property is to be treated as if it were a special assessment. The constitutionality and operation of these provisions of the Act have not been tested.

In particular, insofar as the Act requires payment of the Special Tax by a federal entity acquiring property in the District, it may be unconstitutional. If for any reason property in the District becomes exempt from taxation by reason of ownership by a nontaxable entity such as the federal government or another public agency, subject to the limitation of the maximum authorized rates, the Special Tax will be reallocated to the remaining Taxable Properties in the District. This would result in the owners of such property paying a greater amount of the Special Tax and could have an adverse impact upon the timely payment of the Special Tax. Moreover, if a substantial portion of property in the District becomes exempt from the Special Tax because of public ownership, or otherwise, the Maximum Annual Special Tax which could be levied upon the remaining acreage might not be sufficient to pay principal of and interest on the Bonds when due and a default would occur with respect to the payment of such principal and interest.

Constitutional Limitations on Taxation and Appropriations Articles XIIIA and XIIIB of the California Constitution. On June 6, 1978, California voters approved an amendment to the California Constitution, commonly known as Proposition 13 (the Jarvis/Gann Initiative), which added Article XIIIA to the California Constitution. The effect of Article XIIIA is to significantly limit the imposition of new ad valorem taxes, special taxes, transaction taxes, and sales taxes. On November 7, 1978, California voters approved Proposition 8, which made certain clarifications to Article XIIIA.

Article XIIIA of the California Constitution limits the amount of ad valorem taxes on real property to 1% of “full cash value” as determined by the county assessor. Article XIIIA defines “full cash value” to mean “the county assessor’s valuation of real property as shown on the 1975-76 tax bill under ‘full cash value’ or, thereafter, the appraised value of real property when purchased, newly constructed, or a change in ownership has occurred after the 1975 assessment.” The “full cash value” is subject to annual adjustment to reflect increases, not to exceed 2% per year, or decreases in the consumer price index or comparable local data, or to reflect reductions in property value caused by damage, destruction or other factors.

Article XIIIA exempts from the 1% tax limitation any taxes to repay indebtedness approved by the voters prior to July 1, 1978, and allows local governments to raise their property tax rates above the constitutionally mandated 1% ceiling for the purpose of paying off certain new general obligation debt issued for the acquisition or improvement of real property and approved by two-thirds of the votes cast by the qualified electorate. Article XIIIA requires a vote of two-thirds of the qualified electorate to impose special taxes on real property, while otherwise generally precluding the imposition of any additional ad valorem taxes, special taxes, transaction taxes, and sales taxes. In addition, Article XIIIA requires the approval of two-thirds of all members of the California Legislature to change any State laws resulting in increased tax revenues.

Enactment of Article XIIIA has reduced the amount of general property tax revenues received by the City. This reduction in such revenues makes it less likely that the City or the District will have surplus funds, other than the Reserve Fund for the Bonds, with which to advance funds to make any payments or to cure any deficiency in the Interest Account or Principal Account of the Special Tax Fund, should the City or the District, as applicable, in the exercise of its discretion, choose to do so. If there are additional delinquencies after exhaustion of funds in the Reserve Fund for the Bonds, none of the City or the District has any obligation to transfer into the Interest Account or Principal Account of the Special Tax Fund the amount of any such delinquencies out of any surplus moneys of the City.

On July 2, 1979, the Fifth District Court of Appeal rendered a 3-0 decision in the case of County of Fresno v. Malmstrom (94 Cal.App.3d 974), that determined that special assessments are not subject to the limitations of Article XIIIA (Proposition 13). The Court held the one percent tax limitation imposed by California Constitution Article XIIIA on ad valorem taxes does not apply to special assessments levied pursuant to the Improvement Act of 1911 (Streets and Highways Code, Section 5000 et seq., the relevant portions of which are incorporated in the 1915 Act) and the 1913 Act. The Court further held that because special assessments pursuant to such acts are not within the definition of “special taxes” in Article XIIIA, the Constitution does not require the levy of assessments and the issuance of bonds to be approved by a two-thirds vote of the qualified electors in an assessment district. On September 12, 1979, the California Supreme Court refused to hear an appeal of the lower court’s decision.

At the November 6, 1979, general election, Proposition 4 (the Gann Initiative) was approved by the voters of California. Such proposition added Article XIIIB to the California Constitution.

Article XIIIB of the California Constitution limits the annual appropriations of the State and of any city, county, school district, authority, or other political subdivision of the State to the level of appropriations of the particular governmental entity for the prior fiscal year, as adjusted for changes in the cost of living, population and services rendered by the governmental entity. The “base year” for establishing such appropriation limit is the fiscal year 1978-79 and the limit is to be adjusted annually to reflect changes in population, consumer prices and certain increases in the cost of services provided by these public agencies.

Appropriations subject to Article XIIIB generally include the proceeds of taxes levied by the State or other entity of local government, exclusive of certain State subventions, refunds of taxes, benefit payments from retirement, unemployment insurance, and disability insurance funds. “Proceeds of taxes” include, but are not limited to, all tax revenues and the proceeds to an entity of government from (i) regulatory licenses, user charges, and user fees (but only to the extent such proceeds exceed the cost of providing the service or regulation), and (ii) the investment of tax revenues. Article XIIIB includes a requirement that if an entity’s revenues in any year exceed the amounts permitted to be spent, the excess would have to be allocated to fund schools or be returned by revising tax rates or fee schedules over the subsequent two years.

On December 17, 1980, the Third District Court of Appeal rendered a 3-0 decision in the case County of Placer v. Corin (113 Cal. App. 3d 443) that determined that special assessments are not subject to the limitation of Article XIIIB (Proposition 4). The Court held that the definition of “proceeds of taxes” imposed by California Constitution Article XIIIB does not apply to special assessments and improvement bonds issued pursuant to the 1915 Act and the 1913 Act. The decision of the Court was not appealed.

The enactment of Article XIIIA of the California Constitution (Proposition 13) and subsequent legislative enactments effectively repeal the otherwise mandatory duty on the part of the City, under the 1915 Act, to levy and collect a special tax (in an amount necessary to meet delinquencies, but not to exceed ten cents on each $100 of assessable property within the City in any one year) if other funds are not available to cover delinquencies.

In early 1990, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down as a violation of equal protection certain property tax assessment practices in West Virginia, which had resulted in vastly different assessments of similar properties. Since Article XIIIA provides that property may only be assessed up to 2%, per year, except upon change of ownership or new construction, recent purchasers may pay substantially higher property taxes than long-time owners of comparable property in a community. The Supreme Court in the West Virginia case expressly declined to comment in any way on the constitutionality of Article XIIIA.

Based on this decision, however, property owners in California brought three suits challenging the acquisition value assessment provisions of Article XIIIA. Two cases involve residential property and one case involves commercial property. In all three cases, State trial and appellate courts have upheld the constitutionality of Article XIIIA’s assessment rules and concluded that the West Virginia case did not apply to California’s laws. On June 3, 1991, the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear the appeal in the challenge relating to commercial property, but the plaintiff subsequently decided to drop the case.

On October 7, 1991, the U.S. Supreme Court granted the plaintiff’s petition for a writ of certiorari and agreed to hear the Nordlinger v. Lynch case. On June 18, 1992, the U.S. Supreme Court affirmed the Nordlinger decision (112 U.S. 2326) of the California Court of Appeal, Second Appellate District, which previously held that Article XIIIA does not violate the U.S. Constitution.

The City cannot predict whether any other pending or future challenges to the State’s present system of property tax assessment will be successful, when the ultimate resolution of any challenge will occur, or the ultimate effect any decision regarding the State’s present system of property tax assessment will have on the City’s revenues or on the State’s financial obligations to local governments.

Articles XIIIC and XIIID of the California Constitution. Proposition 218, a state ballot initiative known as the “Right to Vote on Taxes Act,” was approved by California voters on November 6, 1996. Proposition 218 added Articles XIIIC and XIIID to the State Constitution, and, with the exception of certain provisions, Articles XIIIC and XIIID became effective on November 6, 1996.

Among other things, Proposition 218 imposed certain voting requirements and other limitations on the imposition of new or increased taxes, assessments, and property-related fees and charges. Under Proposition 218 (i) all taxes imposed by local governments are deemed to be either general taxes, or special taxes, (ii) no local government may impose, extend, or increase any general tax unless and until such tax is submitted to the electorate and approved by a majority vote, and (iii) no local government may impose, extend, or increase any special tax unless and until such tax is submitted to the electorate and approved by a two-thirds vote. Special purpose districts, including community facilities districts and assessment districts, have no power to levy general taxes. The City believes that the issuance of the Bonds does not require the conduct of further proceedings under the Refunding Act, the 1915 Act, the 1913 Act, the Mello-Roos Act, or Proposition 218, as applicable, other than as described herein.

Proposition 218 provides that the initiative power shall “not be prohibited or otherwise limited in matters reducing or repealing any local tax, assessment, fee or charge...” Thus, Proposition 218 removes limitations on the initiative power in matters of, among other things, the Special Tax. Consequently, it is conceivable that the voters of the City or the District could, by future initiative, repeal, reduce, or prohibit the future imposition or increase of any Special Tax, subject to overriding federal constitutional principles relating to impairment of contracts.

Although the provisions of Article XIIIC have not been interpreted by the courts, the City believes that the initiative power cannot be used to reduce or repeal the unpaid Special Tax that are pledged as security for payment of the Bonds or to otherwise interfere with the mandatory, statutory duty of the City and the County Auditor with respect to the unpaid Special Tax that are pledged as security for payment of the Bonds.

The Appellate District, Division One, issued its opinion in 2014 in City of San Diego v. Melvin Shapiro, et al. (228 Cal. App. 4th 756) (the “San Diego Decision”). The case involved a Convention Center Facilities District (the “CCFD”) established by the City of San Diego. The CCFD is a financing district much like a community facilities district established under the provisions of the Act. The CCFD is comprised of all of the real property in the entire City of San Diego. However, the special tax to be levied within the CCFD was to be levied only on hotel properties located within the CCFD.

The election authorizing the special tax was limited to owners of hotel properties and lessees of real property owned by a governmental entity on which a hotel is located. Thus, the election was not a registered voter election. Such approach to determining who would constitute the qualified electors of the CCFD was modeled after Section 53326(c) of the Act, which generally provides that, if a special tax will not be apportioned in any tax year on residential property, the legislative body may provide that the vote shall be by the landowners of the proposed district whose property would be subject to the special tax. The Court held that the CCFD special tax election was invalid under the California Constitution because Article XIIIA, Section 4 thereof and Article XIIIC, Section 2 thereof require that the electors in such an election be the registered voters within the district.

The facts of the San Diego Decision show that there were hundreds of thousands of registered voters within the CCFD (viz., all of the registered voters in the City of San Diego). There were no registered voters in the District at the time of formation. In the San Diego Decision, the Court expressly stated that it was not addressing the validity of landowner voting to impose special taxes pursuant to the Act in situations where there are fewer than 12 registered voters. Thus, by its terms, the Court’s holding does not apply to the Special Tax elections in the District. Moreover, Section 53341 of the Act provides that any “action or proceeding to attack, review, set aside, void or annul the levy of a special tax…shall be commenced within 30 days after the special tax is approved by the voters.” Similarly, Section 53359 of the Act provides that any action to determine the validity of bonds issued pursuant to the Act be brought within 30 days of the voters approving the issuance of such bonds. Voters in the District approved the Special Tax and the issuance of bonds on May 14, 2024. Based on Sections 53341 and 53359 of the Act and analysis of existing laws, regulations, rulings and court decisions, the City believes the Special Tax is being levied in accordance with the Rate and Method and the Act.

The interpretation and application of Proposition 218 will ultimately be determined by the courts with respect to a number of the matters discussed above, and it is not possible at this time to predict with certainty the outcome of such determination.

Ballot Initiatives
General. Under the California Constitution, the power of initiative is reserved to the voters for the purpose of enacting statutes and constitutional amendments. Articles XIII A, XIII B, XIII C, and XIII D of the California Constitution were adopted pursuant to measures qualified for the ballot pursuant to the State’s constitutional initiative process, including through Proposition 13 in 1978, Proposition 218 in 1996 and Proposition 26 in 2010. From time to time, other initiative measures could be adopted by California voters. The adoption of any such initiative might place limitations on the ability of the State, the City, or other local agencies to increase revenues or to increase appropriations.

As described above, Proposition 218 was approved by California voters in 1996 and added Article XIII C to the California Constitution. On November 2, 2010, the voters of the State approved Proposition 26, known as the “Supermajority Vote to Pass New Taxes and Fees Act” (“Proposition 26”). Proposition 26, among other things, amends Article XIIIC to the California Constitution principally to define what constitutes a “tax” under the limitations and requirements of that provision. Article XIIIC imposes limitations on local governments when imposing certain taxes, including a requirement that the local government submit certain taxes to the electorate for its approval. Before Proposition 26, Article XIIIC did not define the term “tax.” Proposition 26 broadly defines a tax under Article XIIIC to include “any levy, charge, or exaction of any kind imposed by a local government.” Proposition 26 lists several exceptions to the definition of “tax,” which include (a) a charge for a specific benefit or privilege, which does not exceed the reasonable costs of providing the benefit or privilege, (b) a charge for a government service or product, which does not exceed the reasonable costs of providing the service or product, (c) a charge for the reasonable regulatory costs of issuing licenses and permits, performing investigations, inspections, and audits, and the administrative enforcement thereof, (d) a charge for entrance to or use of local government property, or the purchase, rental, or lease of local government property, (e) a fine, penalty, or other monetary charge imposed as a result of a violation of law, (f) a charge imposed as a condition of property development, and (g) assessments and property-related fees imposed in accordance with the provisions of Article XIIID.

Maximum Special Tax
Within the limits of the Special Tax, the District may adjust the Special Tax levied on all property in the District to provide an amount required to pay interest on and principal of the Bonds, and the amount, if any, necessary to cure delinquencies and replenish the Reserve Fund to an amount equal to the Reserve Requirement for the respective Bonds and to pay Administrative Expenses. However, the amount of the Special Tax that may be levied against any property in the District is subject to the Maximum Special Tax applicable to it. There is no assurance that the Maximum Special Tax on the property in the District will be sufficient to pay the amounts required to be paid by the Indenture at all times. Additionally, pursuant to the Act, the Special Tax levied in any fiscal year against any parcel of residential property in the District may not be increased as a consequence of delinquency or default by the owners of any other parcels within the District by more than 10% above the amount that would have been levied in that fiscal year had there never been any such delinquencies or defaults. See “SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE BONDS — Special Tax.” Payment of the Special Tax is Not a Personal Obligation of the Owners An owner of a parcel of Taxable Property is not personally obligated to pay the Special Tax. Rather, the Special Tax is an obligation only against the parcel of Taxable Property. If the value of a parcel is not sufficient, taking into account other obligations also payable thereby, to fully secure the Special Tax, the District has no recourse against the owner.

Disclosures to Future Purchasers
The District has recorded a notice of the Special Tax Lien in the Office of the County Recorder. While title companies normally refer to such notices in title reports, there can be no guarantee that such reference will be made or, if made, that a prospective purchaser or lender will consider such Special Tax obligation in the purchase of a parcel of land, a home or a commercial or industrial facility in the District or the lending of money thereon. The Act requires the subdivider (or its agent or representative) of a subdivision to notify a prospective purchaser or long-term lessor of any lot, parcel, or unit subject to a Mello–Roos special tax of the existence and maximum amount of such special tax using a statutorily prescribed form. California Civil Code Section 1102.6b requires that in the case of transfers other than those covered by the above requirement, the seller must at least make a good faith effort to notify the prospective purchaser of the special tax lien in a format prescribed by statute. Failure by an owner of the property to comply with the above requirements, or failure by a purchaser or lessor to consider or understand the nature and existence of the Special Tax, could adversely affect the willingness and ability of the purchaser or lessor to pay the Special Tax when due.

Parity Taxes and Special Assessments
The ability or willingness of a property owner in the District to pay the Special Tax could be affected by the existence of other taxes and assessments imposed upon the property. The Special Tax and any penalties thereon will constitute a lien against the lots and parcels of land on which they will be annually imposed until they are paid. Such lien is on a parity with all special tax and special assessments levied by other agencies and is co-equal to and independent of the lien for general property taxes, other special taxes, and certain special assessments regardless of when they are imposed upon the same property. The Special Tax has priority over all existing and future private liens imposed on the property. In addition, other public agencies whose boundaries overlap those of the District could, with or in some circumstances without the consent of the owners of the land in the District, impose additional taxes or assessment liens on the property in the District in order to finance public improvements to be located inside or outside of the District.

The District has no control over the ability of other entities and districts to issue indebtedness secured by special tax or assessments payable from all or a portion of the property in the District. In addition, the City is not prohibited itself from establishing assessment districts, community facilities districts or other districts which might impose assessments or taxes against property in the District. In the event any additional improvements are financed pursuant to the establishment of an assessment district, community facilities district or other district, any taxes or assessments levied to finance such improvements will have a lien on a parity with the lien of the Special Tax. The imposition of additional liens on a parity with the Special Tax could reduce the ability or willingness of the property owners to pay the Special Tax and increase the possibility that foreclosure proceeds will not be adequate to pay delinquent Special Tax or the principal of and interest on the Bonds when due.

Depletion of Reserve Fund
The Reserve Fund is to be maintained at an amount equal to the Reserve Requirement. Money in said fund may be used to pay debt service on the Bonds in the event the proceeds of the levy and collection of the Special Tax against property in the District are insufficient. If funds in the Reserve Fund are used to pay debt service on the Bonds, the funds can be replenished from the proceeds of the levy and collection of the Special Tax that are in excess of the amount required to pay all amounts to be paid pursuant to the Indenture. However, no replenishment from the proceeds of a levy of the Special Tax can occur as long as the proceeds that are collected from the levy of the Special Tax at the maximum tax rates, together with other available funds, remain insufficient to pay all such amounts. Thus, it is possible that the Reserve Fund will be depleted by its use to pay such amounts and will not be replenished by the levy of the Special Tax. There is no assurance that the amount in the Reserve Fund will, at any particular time, be sufficient to pay all such amounts or that any amounts of the Reserve Requirement used for debt service on the Bonds will be fully replenished from the proceeds of the levy and collection of the Special Tax.

Bankruptcy and Legal Delays
The payment of the Special Tax and the ability of the District to foreclose the lien of a delinquent unpaid tax, as discussed in “SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE BONDS,” may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other laws generally affecting creditors’ rights or by the laws of the State of California relating to judicial foreclosure. In addition, the prosecution of a foreclosure action could be delayed due to crowded local court calendars or delays in the legal process. The various legal opinions to be delivered concurrently with the delivery of the Bonds (including Bond Counsel’s approving legal opinion) will be qualified as to the enforceability of the various legal instruments by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights, by the application of equitable principles and by the exercise of judicial discretion in appropriate cases.

Although bankruptcy proceedings would not cause the obligation to pay the Special Tax to become extinguished, the bankruptcy of a property owner could result in a delay in prosecuting superior court foreclosure proceedings because federal bankruptcy laws may provide for an automatic stay of foreclosure and sale of tax sale proceedings. Any such delays could increase the likelihood of a delay or default in payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds and the possibility of delinquent tax installments not being paid in full. Moreover, if the value of the subject property is less than the lien of the Special Tax, such excess could be treated as an unsecured claim by the bankruptcy court. Further, should remedies be exercised under the federal bankruptcy laws against Taxable Property, payment of the Special Tax may be subordinated to bankruptcy law priorities. Thus, certain claims may have priority over the Special Tax in a bankruptcy proceeding even though they would not outside of a bankruptcy proceeding.

FDIC/Federal Government Interests In Properties
The ability of the District to collect interest and penalties specified by the Act and to foreclose the lien of delinquent Special Tax may be limited in certain respects with regard to parcels in which the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”), or other federal government entities such as Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, has or obtains an interest.

In the case of the FDIC, in the event that any financial institution making a loan which is secured by parcels is taken over by the FDIC and the applicable Special Tax is not paid, the remedies available to the District may be constrained. The FDIC’s policy statement regarding the payment of state and local real property taxes (the “Policy Statement”) provides that taxes other than ad valorem taxes which are secured by a valid lien in effect before the FDIC acquired an interest in a property will be paid unless the FDIC determines that abandonment of its interests is appropriate. The Policy Statement provides that the FDIC generally will not pay installments of non-ad valorem taxes which are levied after the time the FDIC acquires its fee interest, nor will the FDIC recognize the validity of any lien to secure payment except in certain cases where the Resolution Trust Corporation had an interest in property on or prior to December 31, 1995. Moreover, the Policy Statement provides that, with respect to parcels on which the FDIC holds a mortgage lien, the FDIC will not permit its lien to be foreclosed out by a taxing authority without its specific consent, nor will the FDIC pay or recognize liens for any penalties, fines or similar claims imposed for the non-payment of taxes.

The FDIC has taken a position similar to that expressed in the Policy Statement in legal proceedings brought against Orange County, California, in United States Bankruptcy Court and in Federal District Court. The Bankruptcy Court issued a ruling in favor of the FDIC on certain of such claims. Orange County appealed that ruling, and the FDIC cross-appealed. On August 28, 2001, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals issued a ruling favorable to the FDIC except with respect to the payment of pre-receivership liens based upon delinquent property tax.

The District is unable to predict what effect the application of the Policy Statement would have in the event of a delinquency with respect to parcels in which the FDIC has or obtains an interest, although prohibiting the lien of the FDIC to be foreclosed out at a judicial foreclosure sale would prevent or delay the foreclosure sale.

In the case of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, in the event a parcel of Taxable Property is owned by a federal government entity or federal government sponsored entity, such as Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, or in the event a private deed of trust secured by a parcel of Taxable Property is owned by a federal government entity or federal government sponsored entity, such as Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, the ability to foreclose on the parcel or to collect delinquent Special Tax may be limited. Federal courts have held that, based on the supremacy clause of the United States Constitution, in the absence of Congressional intent to the contrary, a state or local agency cannot foreclose to collect delinquent taxes or assessments if foreclosure would impair the federal government interest. This means that, unless Congress has otherwise provided, if a federal government entity owns a parcel of Taxable Property but does not pay taxes and assessments levied on the parcel (including the Special Tax), the applicable state and local governments cannot foreclose on the parcel to collect the delinquent taxes and assessments.

Moreover, unless Congress has otherwise provided, if the federal government has a mortgage interest in the parcel and the District wishes to foreclose on the parcel as a result of delinquent Special Tax, the property cannot be sold at a foreclosure sale unless it can be sold for an amount sufficient to pay delinquent taxes and assessments on a parity with the Special Tax and preserve the federal government’s mortgage interest.

The District’s remedies may also be limited in the case of delinquent Special Tax with respect to parcels in which other federal agencies (such as the Internal Revenue Service and the Drug Enforcement Administration) have or obtain an interest.

Geologic, Topographic and Climatic Conditions
The District, like all California communities, may be subject to unpredictable seismic activity, fires, flood, or other natural disasters. Southern California is a seismically active area. Seismic activity represents a potential risk for damage to buildings, roads, bridges and property within the District. In addition, land susceptible to seismic activity may be subject to liquefaction during the occurrence of such event.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency has determined that the District is located in a Zone “X” flood area (an area determined to be outside of the 0.2 percent annual chance floodplain), and flood insurance will not be required.

In recent years, wildfires have caused extensive damage throughout the State. In some instances, entire neighborhoods have been destroyed. Several of the fires that occurred in recent years damaged or destroyed property in areas that were not previously considered to be at risk from such events.

Some commentators believe that climate change will lead to even more frequent and more damaging wildfires in the future. Property damage due to wildfire could result in a significant decrease in the market value of property in the District and in the ability or willingness of property owners to pay the Special Tax.

In the event of a severe earthquake, fire, flood or other natural disaster, there may be significant damage to both property and infrastructure in the District. As a result, a substantial portion of the property owners may be unable or unwilling to pay the Special Tax when due. In addition, the value of land in the District could be diminished in the aftermath of one or more of such events, reducing the resulting proceeds of foreclosure sales in the event of delinquencies in the payment of the Special Tax.

Hazardous Substances
While governmental taxes, assessments, and charges are a common claim against the value of a parcel of Taxable Property, other less common claims may be relevant. One example is a claim with regard to a hazardous substance.

In general, the owners and operators of a parcel of Taxable Property may be required by law to remedy conditions of the parcel relating to releases or threatened releases of hazardous substances. The federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, sometimes referred to as “CERCLA” or the “Superfund Act,” is the most well-known and widely applicable of these laws, but California laws with regard to hazardous substances are also stringent and similar. Under many of these laws, the owner (or operator) is obligated to remedy a hazardous substance condition of property whether or not the owner (or operator) has anything to do with creating or handling the hazardous substance. The effect, therefore, should any of the Taxable Property be affected by a hazardous substance is to reduce the marketability and value of the parcel by the costs of remedying the condition, because the purchaser, upon becoming owner, will become obligated to remedy the condition just as is the seller. Further, such liabilities may arise not simply from the existence of a hazardous substance but from the method of handling it. All of these possibilities could significantly affect the value of the property that is realizable upon a delinquency and foreclosure.

While the District is not aware that the owner (or operator) of any of Taxable Property has such a current liability with respect to any of the Taxable Property, it is possible that such liabilities do currently exist and that the District is not aware of them. The Developers have also represented to the District that it is not aware of any substances currently classified as hazardous by the federal government or the State located on its property within the District.

Further, it is possible that liabilities may arise in the future with respect to any of the Taxable Property resulting from the existence, currently, on the parcel of a substance presently classified as hazardous but which has not been released or the release of which is not presently threatened, or may arise in the future resulting from the existence, currently, on the parcel of a substance not presently classified as hazardous but which may in the future be so classified. Further, such liabilities may arise not simply from the existence of a hazardous substance but from the method of handling it. All of these possibilities could significantly affect the value of a parcel of Taxable Property that is realizable upon a delinquency.

No Acceleration Provision
The Indenture does not contain a provision allowing for the acceleration of the Bonds in the event of a payment default or other default under the terms of the Bonds or the Indenture.

Bonds Are Limited Obligations
Neither the faith and credit nor the taxing power of the District (except to the limited extent set forth in the Indenture), the City, the State or any political subdivision thereof is pledged to the payment of the Bonds or any Additional Bonds. The Bonds are limited obligations of the District; and, except as provided in the Indenture, they are payable solely from Net Special Tax Revenues and the other assets pledged therefore under the Indenture. Net Special Tax Revenues could be insufficient to pay debt service on the Bonds as a result of delinquencies in the payment of the Special Tax or the insufficiency of proceeds derived from the sale of land within the District following a delinquency in the payment of the applicable Special Tax. The District has no obligation to pay debt service on the Bonds in the event of insufficient Net Special Tax Revenues, except to the extent that money is available for such purpose in the Reserve Fund. The District’s only obligation with respect to delinquent Special Tax is to pursue judicial foreclosure proceedings under the circumstances described in the Indenture. See “SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE BONDS — Covenant for Superior Court Foreclosure.” Loss of Tax Exemption
As discussed under “TAX MATTERS,” interest on the Bonds could become includable in gross income for purposes of federal income taxation retroactive to the date of issuance, as a result of acts or omissions of the District subsequent to the issuance of the Bonds in violation of the District’s covenants with respect to the Bonds. Should interest become includable in gross income, the Bonds are not subject to redemption by reason thereof and will remain outstanding until maturity or unless earlier redeemed pursuant to optional or mandatory redemption or redemption upon prepayment of the Special Tax.

Potential Early Redemption of Bonds from Special Tax Prepayments Property owners within the District are permitted to prepay their Special Tax at any time. Such payments will result in a mandatory redemption of Bonds from Special Tax prepayments on the Interest Payment Date for which timely notice may be given under the Indenture following the receipt of such Special Tax prepayment. The resulting redemption of Bonds purchased at a price greater than par could reduce the otherwise expected yield on such Bonds. See “THE BONDS — Redemption — Mandatory Redemption from Special Tax Prepayments.” Cybersecurity
The City, like many other public and private entities, relies on a large and complex technology environment to conduct its operations. As a recipient and provider of personal, private, or sensitive information, the City is subject to multiple cyber threats including, but not limited to, hacking, viruses, malware and other attacks on computer and other sensitive digital networks and systems. Entities or individuals may attempt to gain unauthorized access to the City’s digital systems for the purposes of misappropriating assets or information or causing operational disruption and damage. To date, the City has not experienced an attack on its computer operating systems which resulted in a breach of its cybersecurity systems that are in place. However, no assurances can be given that the City’s efforts to manage cyber threats and attacks will be successful or that any such attack will not materially impact the operations or finances of the City.

In May 2021, a public facing web server of the City that was responsible for building permit and inspection scheduling was compromised. The system contained vendor and database account credentials that were promptly changed. An investigation revealed that the credentials had not been used since the compromise and that changing the credentials prevented any further unauthorized access. All traces of the compromise were removed. Mitigation measures, including a web application firewall and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) decryption, were put into place to prevent future compromises and additional prevention measures have been implemented. No data was lost and no damage to any systems, financial or otherwise, occurred. There were no costs associated with remediation. [UPDATE] Economic, Political, Social, and Environmental Conditions Prospective investors are encouraged to evaluate current and prospective economic, political, social, and environmental conditions as part of an informed investment decision. Changes in economic, political, social, or environmental conditions on a local, state, federal, and/or international level may adversely affect investment risk generally. Such conditional changes may include (but are not limited to) fluctuations in business production, consumer prices, or financial markets, unemployment rates, technological advancements, shortages or surpluses in natural resources or energy supplies, changes in law, social unrest, fluctuations in the crime rate, political conflict, acts of war or terrorism, environmental damage, and natural disasters. For instance, since the beginning of the geopolitical conflict in Iran, the federal funds rate has increased to 6.69 percent as of August 6, 2026. The City, the District and the Developers cannot predict the economic effect of continued geopolitical unrest in Iran.

CONTINUING DISCLOSURE
The District
Pursuant to a Continuing Disclosure Agreement (the “District Continuing Disclosure Agreement”) with U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, in its capacity as Trustee and in its capacity as dissemination agent, the District has agreed to provide, or cause to be provided, to the Electronic Municipal Market Access System of the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board, which can be found on the Internet at www.emma.msrb.org (“EMMA”), on an annual basis certain financial information and operating data concerning the District. The District has further agreed to provide notice to EMMA of certain listed events. The District’s covenants have been made in order to assist the Underwriter in complying with the Rule.

The District has not previously entered into any undertaking with respect to the Rule. However, the City, as well as the Fontana Public Financing Authority (the “Authority”), the Fontana Public Facilities Financing Authority (the “Facilities Authority”), the Successor Agency to the Fontana Redevelopment Agency (the “Successor Agency”) and various community facilities districts within the City (each, a “CFD”), all of which are entities with the City Council as the legislative body, have entered into numerous continuing disclosure undertakings and for which staff of the City provides administrative services including with respect to filings of annual financial information and listed event notices Except as described below, within the last five years, the City and its related entities have complied in all material respects with its undertakings under the Rule: (i) the Successor Agency with respect to its bonds filed its Fiscal Year 2022 audited financial statements late and failed to file unaudited financial statements on or before the deadline therefore; (ii) with respect to its Fiscal Year 2021-22 disclosure, the Facilities Authority filed unaudited financial information when its audited financial statements were not available, but such filing excluded certain required information typically included in audited financial statements; the Fiscal Year 2021-22 audited financial statements were subsequently posted to EMMA when they became available; (iii) a CFD failed to file one annual report for one issue of bonds for which the official statement relating to such bonds contained all of the information required to be contained in such report; (iv) the Facilities Authority with respect to two bond issues filed the City’s Fiscal Year 2022-23 audited financial statements six days late and failed to file unaudited financial statements on or before the deadlines therefor; and (v) the District is aware that not all of the required information was included with respect to a number of annual report filings by the City, the Authority, the Successor Agency and several CFDs, including required tabular information; The City has since made filings on behalf of itself and its related entities to correct material omissions with respect to the filings that were required to have been made within the past five years and has adopted written procedures to ensure future compliance with the City’s disclosure undertakings and those of its related entities.

Except as disclosed in this Official Statement, within the last five years, the City, the Successor Agency, the Facilities Authority and the Authority have not failed to timely comply with their respective prior continuing disclosure obligations under the Rule in all material respects. The full text of the form of the District Continuing Disclosure Agreement is set forth in Appendix G.

Risewell Homes
Risewell Homes will also covenant in a Continuing Disclosure Certificate, the form of which is set forth in Appendix H, for the benefit of the Owners, to provide semi-annual reports containing updates of certain development information within the Official Statement regarding its property in the District and notices of certain significant events as all provided therein. The specific nature of the information to be contained in the semi-annual reports or notices of significant events and certain other terms of the continuing disclosure obligations of Risewell Homes is contained in Appendix H — “FORM OF RISEWELL HOMES CONTINUING DISCLOSURE CERTIFICATE.” The obligations of Risewell Homes under its Continuing Disclosure Certificate will terminate when Risewell Homes owns, or is under contract with Risewell Homes Land Bank to develop, ___ or fewer residential units (or property intended to be developed with ___ or fewer residential units) within the District.

Risewell Homes has advised the City that, based on a review of its prior continuing disclosure obligations, Risewell Homes has not failed to comply in any material respect with any previous undertaking by it to provide periodic continuing disclosure reports or notice of listed events with respect to community facilities district or assessment district financings in California within the past five years.

TAX MATTERS
In the opinion of Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP, Bond Counsel to the District (“Bond Counsel”), 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 (the “Code”) and is exempt from State of California personal income taxes. Bond Counsel is of the further opinion that 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. A complete copy of the proposed form of opinion of Bond Counsel is set forth in APPENDIX D hereto.

To the extent the issue price of any maturity of the Bonds is less than the amount to be paid at maturity of such Bonds (excluding amounts stated to be interest and payable at least annually over the term of such Bonds), the difference constitutes “original issue discount,” the accrual of which, to the extent properly allocable to each Beneficial Owner thereof, is treated as interest on the Bonds which is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes and exempt from State of California personal income taxes. For this purpose, the issue price of a particular maturity of the Bonds is the first price at which a substantial amount of such maturity of the Bonds is sold to the public (excluding bond houses, brokers, or similar persons or organizations acting in the capacity of underwriters, placement agents or wholesalers). The original issue discount with respect to any maturity of the Bonds accrues daily over the term to maturity of such Bonds on the basis of a constant interest rate compounded semiannually (with straight-line interpolations between compounding dates). The accruing original issue discount is added to the adjusted basis of such Bonds to determine taxable gain or loss upon disposition (including sale, redemption, or payment on maturity) of such Bonds. Beneficial Owners of the Bonds should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences of ownership of Bonds with original issue discount, including the treatment of Beneficial Owners who do not purchase such Bonds in the original offering to the public at the first price at which a substantial amount of such Bonds is sold to the public.

Bonds purchased, whether at original issuance or otherwise, for an amount higher than their principal amount payable at maturity (or, in some cases, at their earlier call date) (“Premium Bonds”) will be treated as having amortizable bond premium. No deduction is allowable for the amortizable bond premium in the case of bonds, like the Premium Bonds, the interest on which is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes. However, the amount of tax-exempt interest received, and a Beneficial Owner’s basis in a Premium Bond, will be reduced by the amount of amortizable bond premium properly allocable to such Beneficial Owner. Beneficial Owners of Premium Bonds should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the proper treatment of amortizable bond premium in their particular circumstances.

The Code imposes various restrictions, conditions and requirements relating to the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of interest on obligations such as the Bonds. The District has made certain representations and covenanted to comply with certain restrictions, conditions and requirements designed to ensure that interest on the Bonds will not be included in federal gross income. Inaccuracy of these representations or failure to comply with these covenants may result in interest on the Bonds being included in gross income for federal income tax purposes, possibly from the date of original issuance of the Bonds. The opinion of Bond Counsel assumes the accuracy of these representations and compliance with these covenants. Bond Counsel has not undertaken to determine (or to inform any person) whether any actions taken (or not taken), or events occurring (or not occurring), or any other matters coming to Bond Counsel’s attention after the date of issuance of the Bonds may adversely affect the value of, or the tax status of interest on, the Bonds. Accordingly, the opinion of Bond Counsel is not intended to, and may not, be relied upon in connection with any such actions, events or matters.

Although Bond Counsel is of the opinion that interest on the Bonds is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes and is exempt from State of California personal income taxes, the ownership or disposition of, or the accrual or receipt of amounts treated as interest on, the Bonds may otherwise affect a Beneficial Owner’s federal, state or local tax liability. The nature and extent of these other tax consequences depends upon the particular tax status of the Beneficial Owner or the Beneficial Owner’s other items of income or deduction. Bond Counsel expresses no opinion regarding any such other tax consequences.

Current and future federal or state legislative proposals, if enacted into law, clarification of the Code or court decisions may cause interest on the Bonds to be subject, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, to federal income taxation or to be subject to or exempted from state income taxation, or otherwise prevent Beneficial Owners from realizing the full current benefit of the tax status of such interest. The introduction or enactment of any such legislative proposals or clarification of the Code or court decisions may also affect, perhaps significantly, the market price for, or marketability of, the Bonds. Prospective purchasers of the Bonds should consult their own tax advisors regarding the potential impact of any pending or proposed federal or state tax legislation, regulations or litigation, as to which Bond Counsel expresses no opinion.

The opinion of Bond Counsel is based on current legal authority, covers certain matters not directly addressed by such authorities, and represents Bond Counsel’s judgment as to the proper treatment of the Bonds for federal income tax purposes. It is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) or the courts. Furthermore, Bond Counsel cannot give and has not given any opinion or assurance about the future activities of the District, or about the effect of future changes in the Code, the applicable regulations, the interpretation thereof or the enforcement thereof by the IRS. The District has covenanted, however, to comply with the requirements of the Code.

Bond Counsel’s engagement with respect to the Bonds ends with the issuance of the Bonds, and, unless separately engaged, Bond Counsel is not obligated to defend the District or the Beneficial Owners regarding the tax-exempt status of the Bonds in the event of an audit examination by the IRS. Under current procedures, Beneficial Owners would have little, if any, right to participate in the audit examination process. Moreover, because achieving judicial review in connection with an audit examination of tax-exempt bonds is difficult, obtaining an independent review of IRS positions with which the District legitimately disagrees, may not be practicable. Any action of the IRS, including but not limited to selection of the Bonds for audit, or the course or result of such audit, or an audit of bonds presenting similar tax issues may affect the market price for, or the marketability of, the Bonds, and may cause the District or the Beneficial Owners to incur significant expense.

Payments on the Bonds generally will be subject to U.S. information reporting and possibly to “backup withholding.” Under Section 3406 of the Code and applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations issued thereunder, a non-corporate Beneficial Owner of Bonds may be subject to backup withholding with respect to “reportable payments,” which include interest paid on the Bonds and the gross proceeds of a sale, exchange, redemption, retirement or other disposition of the Bonds. The payor will be required to deduct and withhold the prescribed amounts if (i) the payee fails to furnish a U.S. taxpayer identification number (“TIN”) to the payor in the manner required, (ii) the IRS notifies the payor that the TIN furnished by the payee is incorrect, (iii) there has been a “notified payee underreporting” described in Section 3406(c) of the Code or (iv) the payee fails to certify under penalty of perjury that the payee is not subject to withholding under Section 3406(a)(1)(C) of the Code. Amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be refunded or credited against a Beneficial Owner’s federal income tax liability, if any, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS. Certain Beneficial Owners (including among others, corporations and certain tax-exempt organizations) are not subject to backup withholding. The failure to comply with the backup withholding rules may result in the imposition of penalties by the IRS.

ABSENCE OF LITIGATION
In connection with the issuance of the Bonds, the City Attorney of the City will deliver a certificate to the effect that, to the best of the City Attorney’s knowledge, after due inquiry and investigation, there is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation at law or in equity before or by any court, public board or body, pending or threatened, or any unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, against or affecting the City or the District, which would adversely impact the ability of the City or the District to complete the transactions described in, or contemplated by, the Indenture or this Official Statement, restrain or enjoin the collection of the Special Tax, or in any way contest or affect the validity of the Bonds, the Indenture, the Special Tax, or the transactions described herein.

ABSENCE OF RATINGS
The District has not made, and does not contemplate making, application to any rating organization for a rating on the Bonds.

CERTAIN LEGAL MATTERS
Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP, Bond Counsel to the District, will render an opinion with respect to the validity and enforceability of the Indenture and as to the validity of the Bonds. A copy of the form of such approving opinion is attached hereto as Appendix D. Bond Counsel has not undertaken any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the Official Statement or other offering materials relating to the Bonds and expresses no opinion relating thereto. Certain legal matters will be passed upon for the City by the City Attorney and by Stradling Yocca Carlson & Rauth LLP, Newport Beach, California, as Disclosure Counsel. Certain legal matters will be passed upon for the Underwriter by its counsel, Anzel Galvan LLP, San Francisco, California.

Although it is serving as Bond Counsel to the District in connection with the issuance and sale of the Bonds, Bond Counsel represents the Underwriter in connection with other financings and matters unrelated to the Bonds. Disclosure Counsel and the City Attorney also represent the Underwriter in connection with other financings and matters unrelated to the Bonds.

UNDERWRITING
The Bonds are being purchased by Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated (the “Underwriter”). The Underwriter has agreed to purchase the Bonds at a price of $____________ ($____________ principal amount, [plus/less] [net] original issue [premium/discount] of $_________ and less an Underwriter’s discount of $_________). The Bond Purchase Agreement relating to the Bonds provides that the Underwriter will purchase all of the Bonds if any are purchased, the obligation to make such purchase being subject to certain terms and conditions set forth in the Bond Purchase Agreement, the approval of certain legal matters by counsel and certain other conditions. The Underwriter’s compensation is contingent upon the successful issuance of the Bonds.

Under certain circumstances, the Underwriter may offer and sell Bonds to certain dealers and others at prices lower than the offering prices stated on the inside front cover page hereof. The offering prices may be changed from time to time by the Underwriter.

FINANCIAL INTERESTS
The fees being paid to the Municipal Advisor, Bond Counsel, Disclosure Counsel, Underwriter, and Underwriter’s Counsel are contingent upon the issuance and delivery of the Bonds.

MUNICIPAL ADVISOR
The District has retained CSG Advisors Incorporated, San Francisco, California, as municipal advisor (the “Municipal Advisor”) for the sale of the Bonds. The Municipal Advisor is not obligated to undertake, and has not undertaken to make, an independent verification or to assume any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the information contained in this Official Statement.

CSG Advisors Incorporated is an independent advisory firm and is not engaged in the business of underwriting, trading or distributing municipal or other public securities.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The purpose of this Official Statement is to supply information to prospective buyers of the Bonds. Quotations and summaries and explanations of the Bonds and documents contained in this Official Statement do not purport to be complete, and reference is made to such documents for full and complete statements and their provisions.

The execution and delivery of this Official Statement by the City Manager of the City has been duly authorized by the City Council of the City of Fontana acting in its capacity as the legislative body of the District.

CITY OF FONTANA COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT NO. 113 (THE GARDENS PHASE TWO) By:

City Manager
APPENDIX A

RATE AND METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF SPECIAL TAX
-----------------------------------------

RATE AND METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT FOR
CITY OF FONTANA COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT NO. 113
(THE GARDENS PHASE TWO)
A Special Tax as hereinafter defined shall be levied on all Assessor's Parcels of Taxable Property in City of Fontana Community Facilities District No. 113 (The Gardens Phase Two) ("CFD No. 113") and collected each Fiscal Year, in an amount determined by the City Council of the City of Fontana, through the application of the Rate and Method of Apportionment as described below. All of the real property in CFD No. 113, unless exempted by law or by the provisions hereof, shall be taxed for the purposes, to the extent and in the manner herein provided.

A. DEFINITIONS
The terms hereinafter set forth have the following meanings:
"Acre" or "Acreage" means the land area expressed in acres of an Assessor’s Parcel as shown on an Assessor’s Parcel Map, or if the land area is not shown on an Assessor’s Parcel Map, the land area shown on the applicable final map, parcel map, condominium plan, or other recorded County map or the land area calculated to the reasonable satisfaction of the CFD Administrator using the boundaries set forth on such map or plan. For residential dwelling units within a condominium plan, the Acres applicable to each residential dwelling unit shall be determined by dividing (i) the Acres of the underlying lot or parcel on which the residential dwelling unit is constructed or to be constructed, by (ii) the total number of residential dwelling units constructed or to be constructed on such lot or parcel.

At least 30 days prior to the issuance of the first series of CFD No. 113 Bonds, the Assigned Facilities Special Tax for Residential Property (set forth in Table 1 below) shall be analyzed in accordance with and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section C. At such time, the CFD Administrator shall request the Price Point Consultant to prepare a Price Point Study setting forth the Minimum Sale Price of residential property within each Land Use Class. If based upon such Price Point Study the CFD Administrator calculates that the Total Tax Burden applicable to one or more Land Use Classes of residential property constructed or to be constructed within CFD No. 113 shall exceed 1.95% of the Minimum Sale Price of such residential property constructed or to be constructed within CFD No. 113, the CFD Administrator shall reduce the Assigned Facilities Special Tax to the extent necessary to cause the Total Tax Burden that shall apply to residential property within such Land Use Class(es) to not exceed 1.95% of the Minimum Sale Price of such residential property.

Commencing with Fiscal Year 2024-2025, and for each following Fiscal Year, the CFD Administrator shall determine the Special Tax Requirement for Facilities and shall provide for the levy of the Facilities Special Tax each Fiscal Year as follows:

First: The Facilities Special Tax shall be levied on each Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property in an amount equal to 100% of the applicable Assigned Facilities Special Tax; Second: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement for Facilities after the first step has been completed, the Facilities Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Assessor's Parcel of Undeveloped Property at up to 100% of the Maximum Facilities Special Tax for Undeveloped Property; Third: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement for Facilities after the first two steps have been completed, then the levy of the Facilities Special Tax on each Assessor's Parcel of Developed Property whose Maximum Facilities Special Tax is determined through the application of the Backup Facilities Special Tax shall be increased in equal percentages from the Assigned Facilities Special Tax up to the Maximum Facilities Special Tax for each such Assessor's Parcel; Fourth: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement for Facilities after the first three steps have been completed, then the Facilities Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Assessor’s Parcel of Taxable Public Property and Taxable Property Owner Association Property at up to 100% of the Maximum Facilities Special Tax for Taxable Public Property and Taxable Property Owner Association Property, as needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement for Facilities.

Notwithstanding the above, the CFD Administrator shall, in any Fiscal Year, calculate a levy Proportionately less than 100% of the Assigned Facilities Special Tax in step one (above), when (i) the CFD Administrator is no longer required to provide for the levy of the Facilities Special Tax pursuant to steps two through four above in order to meet the Special Tax Requirement for Facilities; and (ii) all authorized CFD No. 113 Bonds have already been issued or the Council has covenanted that it shall not issue any additional CFD No. 113 Bonds (except refunding bonds) to be supported by the Facilities Special Tax.

Further notwithstanding the above, under no circumstances shall the Facilities Special Tax levied in any Fiscal Year against any Assessor’s Parcel of Residential Property for which an occupancy permit for private residential use has been issued (in accordance with Section 53321(d)(3) of the California Government Code), be increased as a consequence of delinquency or default by the owner of any other Assessor’s Parcel within CFD No. 113 by more than ten percent above the amount that would have been levied in that Fiscal Year had there never been any such delinquencies or defaults. To the extent that the levy of the Facilities Special Tax on Residential Property is limited by the provision in the previous sentence, the levy of the Facilities Special Tax on each Assessor’s Parcel of Non-Residential Property shall continue in equal percentages up to 100% of the applicable Maximum Facilities Special Tax.

Commencing with Fiscal Year 2024-2025 and for each following Fiscal Year, the CFD Administrator shall determine the Special Tax Requirement for Services and shall provide for the levy of the Services Special Tax until the total Services Special Tax levy equals the Special Tax Requirement for Services. The Services Special Tax shall be levied each Fiscal Year as follows:

First: The Services Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately each Fiscal Year on each Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property at up to 100% of the applicable Assigned Services Special Tax as needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement for Services; Second: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement for Services after the first step has been completed, then the levy of the Services Special Tax on each Assessor's Parcel of Developed Property shall be increased in equal percentages from the Assigned Services Special Tax up to the Maximum Services Special Tax for each such Assessor’s Parcel.

E. EXEMPTIONS
Facilities Special Tax
No Facilities Special Tax shall be levied on up to the applicable Acreage limit of Public Property and/or Property Owner Association Property established for each Planning Area as set forth in Table 7 below. Tax-exempt status shall be assigned by the CFD Administrator in the chronological order in which property within a Planning Area becomes Public Property or Property Owner Association Property. However, should an Assessor’s Parcel no longer be classified as Public Property or Property Owner Association Property, it shall, from that point forward, be subject to the Facilities Special Tax.

Notwithstanding the above, an Assessor’s Parcel within a Planning Area that is transferred to a public agency or property owner’s association prior to the issuance of the first series of CFD No. 113 Bonds that causes the Acreage of Public Property and Property Owner Association Property within such Planning Area to exceed the applicable Acreage limit that can be designated by the CFD Administrator under this Section E.1 shall also be exempted from paying the Special Tax.

Public Property or Property Owner Association Property that is not exempt from the Facilities Special Tax under this Section E.1 shall be subject to the levy of the Facilities Special Tax and shall be taxed Proportionately as part of the fourth step in Section D herein, at up to 100% of the applicable Maximum Facilities Special Tax for Taxable Public Property and Taxable Property Owner Association Property.

In addition, no Facilities Special Tax shall be levied on Lower Income Households Welfare Exemption Property, provided that if, in any Fiscal Year, applicable law does not require that an Assessor’s Parcel that is Lower Income Households Welfare Exemption Property be exempt from the Facilities Special Tax, then the Facilities Special Tax shall be levied on such Assessor’s Parcel in accordance with this Rate and Method of Apportionment as if such Assessor’s Parcel were not classified as Lower Income Households Welfare Exemption Property.

2. Services Special Tax
No Services Special Tax shall be levied on Undeveloped Property, Taxable Public Property, Taxable Property Owner Association Property, Public Property, or Property Owner Association Property.

In addition, no Services Special Tax shall be levied on Lower Income Households Welfare Exemption Property, provided that if, in any Fiscal Year, applicable law does not require that an Assessor’s Parcel that is Lower Income Households Welfare Exemption Property be exempt from the Services Special Tax, then the Services Special Tax shall be levied on such Assessor’s Parcel in accordance with this Rate and Method of Apportionment as if such Assessor’s Parcel were not classified as Lower Income Households Welfare Exemption Property.

F. MANNER OF COLLECTION
The Special Tax shall be collected in the same manner and at the same time as ordinary ad valorem property taxes; provided, however, that CFD No. 113 may directly bill the Special Tax, and/or may collect Special Taxes at a different time or in a different manner if necessary to meet financial obligations, and, to the extent of the Facilities Special Tax, may covenant to foreclose and may actually foreclose on delinquent Assessor’s Parcels.

G. APPEALS AND INTERPRETATIONS
Any landowner or resident who feels that the amount of the Special Tax levied on his/her Assessor’s Parcel is in error may submit a written appeal to the CFD Administrator, provided that the appellant is current in his/her payment of Special Taxes. During the pendency of an appeal, all Special Taxes previously levied must be paid on or before the payment date established when the levy was made. The CFD Administrator shall review the appeal, meet with the appellant if the CFD Administrator deems necessary, and advise the appellant of its determination. If the CFD Administrator agrees with the appellant, a cash refund shall not be made (except for the last year of levy), but the amount of the Special Tax levied shall be appropriately modified through an adjustment to the Special Tax levy in the following Fiscal Year. If the CFD Administrator disagrees with the appellant and the appellant is dissatisfied with the determination, the appellant then has 30 days in which to appeal to the Council by filing a written notice of appeal with the City Clerk, provided that the appellant is current in his/her payment of Special Taxes. This second appeal must specify the reasons for its disagreement with the CFD Administrator's determination.

The CFD Administrator shall interpret this Rate and Method of Apportionment for purposes of clarifying any ambiguity and make determinations relative to the annual administration of the Special Tax and any landowner or resident appeals. Any decision of the CFD Administrator shall be subject to appeal to the Council whose decision shall be final and binding as to all persons.

H. PREPAYMENT OF FACILITIES SPECIAL TAX
Under this Rate and Method of Apportionment, an Assessor’s Parcel within CFD No. 113 is permitted to prepay the Facilities Special Tax. The obligation of the Assessor’s Parcel to pay the Facilities Special Tax may be fully prepaid and permanently satisfied or partially prepaid as described herein, provided that a prepayment may be made only for Assessor’s Parcels of Developed Property, or for an Assessor’s Parcel of Undeveloped Property for which a building permit has been issued after January 1, 2024, and only if there are no delinquent Special Taxes with respect to such Assessor’s Parcel at the time of prepayment. An owner of an Assessor's Parcel intending to prepay the Facilities Special Tax obligation shall provide the CFD Administrator with written notice of intent to prepay. Within 30 days of receipt of such written notice, the CFD Administrator shall notify such owner of the prepayment amount for such Assessor's Parcel. The CFD Administrator may charge such owner a reasonable fee for providing this service. If there are Outstanding Bonds, prepayment must be made not less than 30 days prior to a date that notice of redemption of CFD No. 113 Bonds from the proceeds of such prepayment may be given by the Trustee pursuant to the Indenture that is specified in the report of the Facilities Special Tax Prepayment Amount (defined below).

The following additional definitions apply to this Section H:
"CFD Public Facilities Costs" means either $20,183,675 in 2024 dollars, which shall increase by the Construction Inflation Index on July 1, 2025, and on each July 1 thereafter, or such lower number as (i) shall be determined by the CFD Administrator as sufficient to provide funding for the Authorized Facilities under the authorized bonding program for CFD No. 113, or (ii) shall be determined by the Council concurrently with a covenant that it shall not issue any more CFD No. 113 Bonds (except refunding bonds) to be supported by the Facilities Special Tax levy under this Rate and Method of Apportionment. "Construction Inflation Index" means the annual percentage change in the Engineering News Record Building Cost Index for the City of Los Angeles, measured as of the month of December in the calendar year which ends in the previous Fiscal Year. In the event this index ceases to be published, the Construction Inflation Index shall be another index as determined by the CFD Administrator that is reasonably comparable to the Engineering News Record Building Cost Index for the City of Los Angeles. "Future Facilities Costs" means the CFD Public Facilities Costs minus (i) costs of Authorized Facilities previously paid from the Improvement Fund, (ii) moneys currently on deposit in the Improvement Fund available to pay costs of Authorized Facilities, and (iii) the amount the CFD Administrator reasonably expects to derive from the reinvestment of these funds. "Improvement Fund" means a fund or account specifically identified in the Indenture (or prior to the issuance of the first series of CFD No. 113 Bonds a fund or account held by the City) to hold funds which are currently available for expenditure to acquire or construct Authorized Facilities. "Previously Issued Bonds" means, for any Fiscal Year, all Outstanding Bonds that are outstanding under the Indenture after the first interest and/or principal payment date following the current Fiscal Year.

1. Prepayment in Full
The Facilities Special Tax Prepayment Amount (defined below) shall be calculated as summarized below (capitalized terms as defined below):

Bond Redemption Amount
plus Redemption Premium
plus Future Facilities Amount
plus Defeasance Amount
plus Administrative Fees and Expenses
less Reserve Fund Credit
less Capitalized Interest Credit
Total: equals Facilities Special Tax Prepayment Amount
As of the proposed date of prepayment, the Facilities Special Tax Prepayment Amount shall be calculated according to the following paragraphs:

Confirm that no Special Tax delinquencies apply to such Assessor’s Parcel.

For Assessor’s Parcels of Developed Property, compute the Assigned Facilities Special Tax and Backup Facilities Special Tax for the Assessor’s Parcel to be prepaid. For Assessor’s Parcels of Undeveloped Property for which a building permit has been issued after January 1, 2024, compute the Assigned Facilities Special Tax and Backup Facilities Special Tax for that Assessor’s Parcel as though it was already designated as Developed Property, based upon the building permit which has already been issued for such Assessor’s Parcel. (a) Divide the Assigned Facilities Special Tax computed pursuant to paragraph 2 by the total estimated Assigned Facilities Special Tax levy for CFD No. 113 based on the Assigned Facilities Special Taxes for Developed Property which could be levied on all expected development assuming Buildout of CFD No. 113, excluding any Assessor’s Parcels which have been prepaid, and (b) Divide the Backup Facilities Special Tax computed pursuant to paragraph 2 by the total estimated Backup Facilities Special Taxes at Buildout for the entire CFD No. 113, excluding any Assessor’s Parcels which have been prepaid.

Multiply the larger quotient computed pursuant to paragraph 3(a) or 3(b) by the Previously Issued Bonds to compute the amount of Previously Issued Bonds to be redeemed (the "Bond Redemption Amount").

Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount computed pursuant to paragraph 4 by the applicable redemption premium (e.g., the redemption price minus 100%) set forth in the Indenture, if any, on the Previously Issued Bonds to be redeemed (the "Redemption Premium").

Compute the current Future Facilities Costs.

Multiply the larger quotient computed pursuant to paragraph 3(a) or 3(b) by the amount determined pursuant to paragraph 6 to compute the amount of Future Facilities Costs to be prepaid (the "Future Facilities Amount").

Compute the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Redemption Amount from the first bond interest and/or principal payment date following the current Fiscal Year until the redemption date for the Previously Issued Bonds specified in the report of the Facilities Special Tax Prepayment Amount.

Determine the Facilities Special Tax levied on the Assessor’s Parcel in the current Fiscal Year which has not yet been paid.

Compute the minimum amount the CFD Administrator reasonably expects to derive from the reinvestment of the Facilities Special Tax Prepayment Amount, less any interest earnings attributed to the Future Facilities Amount, and less any interest earnings attributed to the Administrative Fees and Expenses (defined below) from the date of prepayment until the redemption date for the Previously Issued Bonds to be redeemed with the prepayment.

Add the amounts computed pursuant to paragraphs 8 and 9 and subtract the amount computed pursuant to paragraph 10 (the "Defeasance Amount").

The administrative fees and expenses of CFD No. 113 are as calculated by the CFD Administrator and include the costs of computation of the prepayment, the costs to invest the prepayment proceeds, the costs of redeeming CFD No. 113 Bonds, and the costs of recording any notices to evidence the prepayment and the redemption (the "Administrative Fees and Expenses").

The reserve fund credit (the "Reserve Fund Credit") shall equal the lesser of: (a) the expected reduction in the reserve requirement (as defined in the Indenture), if any, associated with the redemption of Previously Issued Bonds as a result of the prepayment, or (b) the amount derived by subtracting the new reserve requirement (as defined in the Indenture) in effect after the redemption of Previously Issued Bonds as a result of the prepayment from the balance in the reserve fund on the prepayment date, but in no event shall such amount be less than zero. No Reserve Fund Credit shall be granted if the amount then on deposit in the reserve fund for the Previously Issued Bonds is below 100% of the reserve requirement (as defined in the Indenture).

If any capitalized interest for the Previously Issued Bonds will not have been expended as of the date immediately following the first interest and/or principal payment following the current Fiscal Year, a capitalized interest credit shall be calculated by multiplying the larger quotient computed pursuant to paragraph 3(a) or 3(b) by the expected balance in the capitalized interest fund or account under the Indenture after such first interest and/or principal payment date (the "Capitalized Interest Credit").

The Facilities Special Tax prepayment is equal to the sum of the amounts computed pursuant to paragraphs 4, 5, 7, 11 and 12, less the amounts computed pursuant to paragraphs 13 and 14 (the "Facilities Special Tax Prepayment Amount").

2. Prepayment in Part
The amount of the prepayment shall be calculated as in Section H.1; except that a partial prepayment shall be calculated according to the following formula:

PP = [(PE – A) x F] + A
These terms have the following meaning:

PP = the partial prepayment.

PE = the Facilities Special Tax Prepayment Amount calculated according to Section H.1.

F = the percentage, expressed as a decimal, by which the owner of the Assessor’s Parcel is partially prepaying the Facilities Special Tax.

A = the Administrative Fees and Expenses calculated according to Section H.1.

3. General Provisions Applicable to the Prepayment of Facilities Special Tax Use of the Facilities Special Tax Prepayment Amount
The Facilities Special Tax Prepayment Amount, less the Administrative Fees and Expenses calculated according to Section H.1 which shall be retained by CFD No. 113, and less the Future Facilities Amount calculated according to Section H.1 which shall be deposited into the Improvement Fund, shall be deposited into specific funds established under the Indenture, to fully or partially redeem as many Outstanding Bonds as possible, and, if amounts are less than $5,000, to make debt service payments on the Outstanding Bonds. (b). Full Prepayment of Facilities Special Tax
Upon confirmation of the payment of the current Fiscal Year’s entire Facilities Special Tax obligation, the CFD Administrator shall remove the current Fiscal Year’s Facilities Special Tax levy for such Assessor’s Parcel from the County tax rolls. With respect to any Assessor’s Parcel that is prepaid in accordance with Section H.1, the CFD Administrator shall cause a suitable notice to be recorded in compliance with the Act, to indicate the prepayment of the Facilities Special Tax and the release of the Facilities Special Tax lien on such Assessor’s Parcel, and the obligation of such Assessor’s Parcel to pay the Facilities Special Tax shall cease. (c). Partial Prepayment of Facilities Special Tax
With respect to any Assessor’s Parcel that is partially prepaid, the CFD Administrator shall (i) distribute or cause to be distributed the funds remitted to it according to Section H.3.(a) and (ii) indicate in the records of CFD No. 113 that there has been a partial prepayment of the Facilities Special Tax and that a portion of the Facilities Special Tax with respect to such Assessor’s parcel, equal to the outstanding percentage (1.00 – F) of the remaining Maximum Facilities Special Tax, shall continue to be levied on such Assessor’s Parcel pursuant to Section D herein. (d). Debt Service Coverage
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no prepayment of the Facilities Special Tax shall be allowed unless the amount of Facilities Special Tax that may be levied on Taxable Property (assuming Buildout) within CFD No. 113 in each future Fiscal Year (after excluding Public Property and Property Owner Association Property as set forth in Section E.1 herein), after the proposed prepayment, is at least equal to the sum of (i) 1.10 times the debt service necessary to support the remaining Outstanding Bonds in each corresponding Fiscal Year, and (ii) Administrative Expenses.

I. TERM OF SPECIAL TAX
The Facilities Special Tax shall be levied for a period not to exceed fifty years commencing with Fiscal Year 2024-2025. The Services Special Tax shall be levied in perpetuity to fund the Special Tax Requirement for Services.

GENERAL INFORMATION CONCERNING

THE CITY OF FONTANA
This appendix sets forth general information about the City of Fontana (“Fontana”) including information with respect to its finances. The following information concerning Fontana, the County of San Bernardino (the “County”) and the State of California (the “State”) are included only for general background purposes. The Bonds are not obligations of the City, County or State or any political subdivision thereof and neither the faith and credit nor the taxing power of the City, County or the State, or any political subdivision thereof, is pledged to the payment of the Bonds or any Additional Bonds.

General
The City of Fontana encompasses approximately 43.1 square miles of land and has an estimated population in 2026 of approximately 219,774. The City is located 50 miles east of Los Angeles, and approximately 10 miles west of the cities of Riverside and San Bernardino. Founded in 1913, Fontana is the second largest city in San Bernardino County, and the 20th largest in the State. The Riverside-San Bernardino area is often referred to as Southern California’s “Inland Empire.” As one of the cities in the Inland Empire, Fontana is part of a region whose population base exceeds 4.6 million people.

The earliest recorded landowner in the Fontana area was Don Antonio Maria Lugo, who received a land grant in 1813. A second grant, in 1842, secured the land known as Rancho de San Bernardino for his sons. The Lugo sons sold a portion of their land, which included part of what is now Fontana, to a group of Mormon settlers in 1851. The Mormon settlers eventually returned to Salt Lake City, and the Semi-Tropical Land & Water Company gained control of the Rancho. Active development of the area, however, did not begin until the early 1900’s when the Fontana Development Company acquired the acreage and began a community called Rosena - a name that was changed to Fontana in 1913.

Fontana quickly became a diversified agricultural area, with citrus, grain, grapes, poultry, and swine being the leading agricultural commodities. The community faced a transition beginning in 1942 when the Fontana area was selected as the site for a steel mill. Fontana incorporated in 1952 and the area became Southern California’s leading producer of steel and steel related products.

The steel industry dominated the City’s economy from the time the mill was built until the mid1980’s. In the late 1970’s, however, Kaiser Steel began to cut down on production and manpower, and the steel mill closed in 1984. The mill site, located outside of City limits, is in the process of being developed into an integrated community of transportation-related industrial, commercial and business park uses to take advantage of the site’s excellent highway and rail access. The plate steel and rolling mill plant was acquired by California Steel Industries, which continues to produce steel products. In addition, railroad and trucking operations and a number of industrial facilities and warehousing/distribution centers are located in Fontana because of its convenient geographical location and excellent transportation network.

City Government
The City was incorporated as a general law city in 1952 and is governed by a Mayor and four council members elected by geographical district to serve four-year terms. The City operates under the Council - Manager form of government. Effective July 1, 2008, the Fontana City Council established the Fontana Fire Protection District, which is governed by the same members who comprise the City Council, and which provides fire and related services to the City and certain adjacent unincorporated areas by means of contract with the San Bernardino County Fire Department. The City Council appoints the City Manager who is responsible for the day-to-day administration of City business and the coordination of all departments of the City.

The City of Fontana provides police protection, street sweeping, park maintenance, building inspection, library, sewer, storm drain and sanitation services. Numerous hospitals and health care facilities are located near Fontana.

Population
Fontana has been one of the most rapidly growing cities in Southern California. The adopted 1990 General Plan calls for a careful balance of residential, commercial and industrial development to ensure a quality urban environment with a broad range of employment and housing opportunities.

The population in Fontana increased approximately 6.9% from 2017 to 2026. The population growth in the City, County and State is shown on the following chart.

Transportation
The City of Fontana is strategically located in the hub of surface, rail and air transportation facilities. Union Pacific and Burlington Northern/Santa Fe rail lines provide rail service to Fontana. Switch yards and multi-modal terminals are located nearby.

Major interstate freeways and state highways provide direct access to the City, making shipping and transportation to and from seaports, North American Free Trade Agreement ports of entry, and the rest of the nation highly dependable. Interstate 10 traverses the southern section of the City, Interstate 15 borders the western portion of the City, and Interstate 210, which is the extension of Route 30, opened in November 2002, links the San Bernardino Valley with the San Fernando Valley and traverses the northern portion of the City. State freeways 57, 60 and 91 are minutes from Fontana.

The LA/Ontario International Airport is a medium-hub, full-service airport, which offers more than 70 daily flights to cities in the U.S., Mexico and Taiwan and is served by nine commercial carriers. The airport is owned and operated by Ontario International Airport Authority, a joint powers agency, and is served by AeroMexico, Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Southwest Airlines, United Airlines/United Express, US Airways and Volaris. Various airlines provide freight services at Ontario International Airport.

With approximately 570,000 square feet and 26 passenger gates within two terminals, Ontario International Airport is the Western States Regional Terminal for United Parcel Service. In 2025 approximately 7.1 million passengers used the airport. The passenger count included approximately 6.5 million domestic travelers and 566,923 international passengers, decrease of -1.4% and increase of 29.2% over 2024, respectively.

Transit services are provided by Metrolink commuter rail service to Los Angeles with connections to the numerous surrounding cities provided by Omnitrans bus service, Dial-a-Ride, Yellow Cab Company and Bell Cab Company.

Education
Five school districts serve students in the City of Fontana. There are thirty public elementary schools, seven middle schools, five high schools, three alternative high schools, seven private elementary/middle schools, one School of Language Development and one adult school. Local colleges and universities include Universal Technical Institute of California Inc., Chaffey College, San Bernardino Valley College, California State University-San Bernardino, Riverside Community College, Westech College and the University of California-Riverside.

(a) All the Developer’s obligations hereunder shall commence on the date hereof and terminate (except as provided in Section 11) on the earliest to occur of the following:
(i) upon the legal defeasance, prior redemption or payment in full of all the Bonds; or (ii) at such time as the Developer is no longer a Major Owner, and is no longer obligated hereunder as to any other Major Owner, including the Land Bank (in the event the Option Agreement is terminated and the Land Bank is then a Major Owner) pursuant to subsection (b) below; or (iii) the date on which the Developer prepays in full all of the Special Taxes attributable to the Property.

The Developer shall give notice of the termination of its obligations under this Disclosure Certificate in the same manner as for a Listed Event under Section 5. (b) The Developer’s obligations hereunder shall terminate with respect to any portion of the Property on the date such portion of the Property is sold to a Person that is not a Major Owner. If any portion of the Property is sold to a Major Owner or if the Option Agreement is terminated and the Land Bank would be a Major Owner, the Developer shall remain obligated hereunder with respect to such Property unless the obligations have been assumed by the Major Owner or the Land Bank (if the Land Bank is then a Major Owner), as applicable, pursuant to an Assumption Agreement. The Developer’s obligations under this Disclosure Certificate with respect to a Major Owner or the Land Bank (in the event the Option Agreement is terminated and the Land Bank is then a Major Owner) that has not executed an Assumption Agreement shall terminate upon the earlier to occur of (i) the date on which the Developer’s obligations with respect to such Major Owner or the Land Bank are assumed under an Assumption Agreement entered into pursuant to this Section 6(b), or (ii) the date on which the Major Owner or the Land Bank is no longer considered a Major Owner. The Developer shall provide a copy of the executed Assumption Agreement to the City and the Participating Underwriter. However, a Major Owner shall not be required to enter into an Assumption Agreement if such Major Owner is already a party to a continuing disclosure certificate in form and substance similar to this Disclosure Certificate with respect to the Bonds, and under which the property conveyed to such Major Owner will become subject to future Periodic Reports. In addition, the conveyance of property from the Land Bank to the Developer under the Option Agreement is subject to this Disclosure Certificate and shall not require the Developer to enter into an Assumption Agreement.

Section 7. Dissemination Agent. The Developer may, from time to time, appoint or engage a Dissemination Agent to assist the Developer in carrying out its obligations under this Disclosure Certificate, and may discharge any such Dissemination Agent, with or without appointing a successor Dissemination Agent. The initial Dissemination Agent shall be the Developer. The Dissemination Agent may resign by providing thirty days’ written notice to the City, the Participating Underwriter and the Developer.

Section 8. No Amendment. The Developer may not amend this Disclosure Certificate.

Section 9. Additional Information. Nothing in this Disclosure Certificate shall be deemed to prevent the Developer from disseminating any other information, using the means of dissemination set forth in this Disclosure Certificate or any other means of communication, or including any other information in any Periodic Report or notice of occurrence of a Listed Event, in addition to that which is required by this Disclosure Certificate. If the Developer chooses to include any information in any Periodic Report or notice of occurrence of a Listed Event in addition to that which is specifically required by this Disclosure Certificate, the Developer shall have no obligation under this Disclosure Certificate to update such information or include it in any future Periodic Report or notice of occurrence of a Listed Event.

Section 10. Default. In the event of a failure of the Developer to comply with any provision of this Disclosure Certificate, the Participating Underwriter and any holder or beneficial owner of the Bonds may, take such actions as may be necessary and appropriate, including seeking mandate or specific performance by court order, to cause the Developer to comply with its obligations under this Disclosure Certificate. A default under this Disclosure Certificate shall not be deemed an Event of Default under the Indenture, and the sole and exclusive remedy under this Disclosure Certificate in the event of any failure of the Developer to comply with this Disclosure Certificate shall be an action to compel performance. Neither the Developer nor the Dissemination Agent shall have any liability to any holder or beneficial owner of the Bonds or any other party for monetary damages or financial liability of any kind whatsoever arising from or relating to this Disclosure Certificate.

Section 11. Duties, Immunities and Liabilities of Dissemination Agent. The Dissemination Agent shall have only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Disclosure Certificate, and the Developer agrees to indemnify and save the Dissemination Agent, its officers, directors, employees and agents (each, an “Indemnified Party”), harmless against any loss, expense and liabilities which it may incur arising out of or in the exercise or performance of its powers and duties hereunder, including the reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) of defending against any claim of liability, but excluding losses, liabilities, costs and expenses due to an Indemnified Party’s negligence or willful misconduct or failure to perform its duties hereunder. The Dissemination Agent (if other than the Developer) shall be paid compensation for its services provided hereunder from Special Taxes levied for administration of the District in accordance with its schedule of fees as amended from time to time, which schedule, as amended, shall be reasonably acceptable, and all reasonable expenses, reasonable legal fees and advances made or incurred by the Dissemination Agent in the performance of its duties hereunder. The Dissemination Agent shall have no duty or obligation to review any information provided to it hereunder and shall not be deemed to be acting in any fiduciary capacity for the City, the Developer, the Trustee, the Bond owners, or any other party. The obligations of the Developer under this Section shall survive resignation or removal of the Dissemination Agent and payment of the Bonds.

APPENDIX I

INFORMATION CONCERNING THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY

AND ITS BOOK-ENTRY SYSTEM
The information in this section concerning DTC and DTC’s book-entry only system has been obtained from sources that the District believes to be reliable, but the District takes no responsibility for the completeness or accuracy thereof. The following description of the procedures and record keeping with respect to beneficial ownership interests in the Bonds, payment of principal, premium, if any, accreted value and interest on the Bonds to DTC Participants or Beneficial Owners, confirmation and transfers of beneficial ownership interests in the Bonds and other related transactions by and between DTC, the DTC Participants and the Beneficial Owners is based solely on information provided by DTC to the District which the District believes to be reliable, but the District and the Underwriter do not and cannot make any independent representations concerning these matters and do not take responsibility for the accuracy or completeness thereof. Neither the DTC, Direct Participants, Indirect Participants nor the Beneficial Owners should rely on the foregoing information with respect to such matters but should instead confirm the same with DTC or the DTC Participants, as the case may be.

The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), New York, New York, will act as securities depository for the Bonds. The Bonds will be issued as fully-registered securities registered in the name of Cede & Co. (DTC’s partnership nominee) or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. One fully-registered Bond will be issued for each annual maturity of the Bonds, each in the aggregate principal amount of such maturity, and will be deposited through the facilities of DTC.

DTC, the world’s largest securities depository, is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a “banking organization” within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a “clearing corporation” within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a “clearing agency” registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC holds and provides asset servicing for over 3.6 million issues of U.S. and non-U.S. equity issues, corporate and municipal debt issues, and money market instruments (from over 100 countries) that DTC’s participants (“Direct Participants”) deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the post trade settlement among Direct Participants of sales and other securities transactions in deposited securities, through electronic computerized book-entry transfers and pledges between Direct Participants’ accounts. This eliminates the need for physical movement of securities certificates. Direct Participants include both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (“DTCC”). DTCC is the holding company for DTC, National Securities Clearing Corporation and Fixed Income Clearing Corporation, all of which are registered clearing agencies. DTCC is owned by the users of its regulated subsidiaries. Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, and clearing corporations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly (“Indirect Participants”). DTC has a Standard & Poor’s rating of “AA+.” The DTC Rules applicable to its Participants are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. More information about DTC can be found at www.dtcc.com.

Purchases of Bonds under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct Participants, which will receive a credit for the Bonds on DTC’s records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each Bond (“Beneficial Owner”) is in turn to be recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants’ records. Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase. Beneficial Owners are, however, expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct or Indirect Participant through which the Beneficial Owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the Bonds are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Direct and Indirect Participants acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive Bonds representing their ownership interests in Bonds, except in the event that use of the book-entry system for the Bonds is discontinued.

To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Bonds deposited by Direct Participants with DTC are registered in the name of DTC’s partnership nominee, Cede & Co., or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of Bonds with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. or such other DTC nominee do not effect any change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the Bonds; DTC’s records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such Bonds are credited, which may or may not be the Beneficial Owners. The Direct and Indirect Participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers.

Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct Participants to Indirect Participants, and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Beneficial Owners of Bonds may wish to take certain steps to augment the transmission to them of notices of significant events with respect to the Bonds, such as prepayments, tenders, defaults, and proposed amendments to the Bond documents. For example, Beneficial Owners of Bonds may wish to ascertain that the nominee holding the Bonds for their benefit has agreed to obtain and transmit notices to Beneficial Owners. In the alternative, Beneficial Owners may wish to provide their names and addresses to the registrar and request that copies of notices be provided directly to them.

Redemption notices shall be sent to DTC. If less than all of the Bonds within a maturity are being prepaid, DTC’s practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in such maturity to be redeemed.

Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (nor any other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to Bonds unless authorized by a Direct Participant in accordance with DTC’s MMI Procedures. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an Omnibus Proxy to the District as soon as possible after the record date. The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede & Co.’s consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to whose accounts Bonds are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy).

Redemption proceeds, distributions, and dividend payments on the Bonds will be made to Cede & Co., or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. DTC’s practice is to credit Direct Participants’ accounts upon DTC’s receipt of funds and corresponding detail information from the District or the Trustee, on payable date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC’s records. Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in “street name,” and will be the responsibility of such Participant and not of DTC, the Trustee, or the District, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of redemption proceeds, distributions, and dividend payments to Cede & Co. (or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC) is the responsibility of the District or the Trustee, disbursement of such payments to Direct Participants will be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners will be the responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants.

A Bond Owner shall give notice to elect to have its Bonds purchased or tendered, through its Participant, to the Trustee, and shall effect delivery of such Bonds by causing the Direct Participant to transfer the Participant’s interest in the Bonds, on DTC’s records, to the Trustee. The requirement for physical delivery of Bonds in connection with an optional tender or a mandatory purchase will be deemed satisfied when the ownership rights in the Bonds are transferred by Direct Participants on DTC’s records and followed by a book-entry credit of tendered Bonds to the Trustee’s DTC account.

DTC may discontinue providing its services as depository with respect to the Bonds at any time by giving reasonable notice to the District or the Trustee. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor depository is not obtained, physical certificates are required to be printed and delivered.

The District may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry only transfers through DTC (or a successor securities depository). In that event, Bonds will be printed and delivered to DTC.

THE TRUSTEE, AS LONG AS A BOOK-ENTRY ONLY SYSTEM IS USED FOR THE BONDS, WILL SEND ANY NOTICE OF REDEMPTION OR OTHER NOTICES TO OWNERS ONLY TO DTC. ANY FAILURE OF DTC TO ADVISE ANY DTC PARTICIPANT, OR OF ANY DTC PARTICIPANT TO NOTIFY ANY BENEFICIAL OWNER, OF ANY NOTICE AND ITS CONTENT OR EFFECT WILL NOT AFFECT THE VALIDITY OF SUFFICIENCY OF THE PROCEEDINGS RELATING TO THE REDEMPTION OF THE BONDS CALLED FOR REDEMPTION OR OF ANY OTHER ACTION PREMISED ON SUCH NOTICE. 4923-2672-3278v5/022777-0047 i
