(e) At 8:00 A.M., Pacific Daylight Time, on _____, 2026, or at such earlier time or date as shall be agreed upon by the Underwriter and the City (such time and date being herein referred to as the “Closing Date”), the City will deliver (i) to The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), the Bonds in definitive form (all Bonds being in book-entry form registered in the name of Cede & Co. and having the CUSIP numbers assigned to them printed thereon), duly executed by the officers of the City, as provided in the Fiscal Agent Agreement, and (ii) to the Underwriter, at the offices of Jones Hall LLP, as bond counsel to the City (“Bond Counsel”), or at such other place as shall be mutually agreed upon by the City and the Underwriter, the other documents herein mentioned; and the Underwriter shall accept such delivery and pay the purchase price of the Bonds in immediately available funds (such delivery and payment being herein referred to as the “Closing”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Underwriter may, in its discretion, accept delivery of the Bonds in temporary form upon making arrangements with the City which are satisfactory to the Underwriter relating to the delivery of the Bonds in definitive form. 2. Public Offering and Establishment of Issue Price. (a) The Underwriter agrees to make a bona fide public offering of the Bonds at the initial public offering price or prices set forth on the inside cover page of the Official Statement and in Exhibit A hereto and subject to Section 2(c) and 2(d) hereof, the Underwriter reserves the right to change such initial public offering prices as the Underwriter deems necessary or desirable, in its sole discretion, in connection with the marketing of the Bonds, and to sell the Bonds to certain dealers (including dealers depositing the Bonds into investment trusts) and others at prices lower than the initial offering prices set forth in the Official Statement. A “bona fide public offering” shall include an offering to institutional investors or registered investment companies, regardless of the number of such investors to which the Bonds are sold. (b) The Underwriter agrees to assist the City in establishing the issue price of the Bonds and shall execute and deliver to the City at Closing (defined below) an “issue price” or similar certificate, together with copies of supporting pricing wires or equivalent communications, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C, with such modifications as may be appropriate or necessary, in the reasonable judgment of the Underwriter, the City and Bond Counsel to accurately reflect, as applicable, the sales price or prices or the initial offering price or prices to the public of the Bonds. All actions to be taken by the City under this section to establish the issue price of the Bonds may be taken on behalf of the City by the City’s municipal advisor, Urban Futures, Inc. (the “Municipal Advisor”) and any notice or report to be provided to the City may be provided to the City’s Municipal Advisor. (c) Except as otherwise set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto, the City will treat the first price at which 10% of each maturity of the Bonds (the “10% test”), identified under the column “10% Test Used” in Exhibit A, is sold to the public as the issue price of that maturity. At or promptly after the execution of this Purchase Agreement, the Underwriter shall report to the City the price or prices at which it has sold to the public each maturity of Bonds. If at that time the 10% test has not been satisfied as to any maturity of the Bonds, the Underwriter agrees to promptly report to the City the prices at which it sells the unsold Bonds of that maturity to the public. That reporting obligation shall continue, whether or not the Closing Date has occurred, until either (i) the Underwriter has sold all Bonds of that maturity or (ii) the 10% test has been satisfied as to the Bonds of that maturity, provided that, the Underwriter’s reporting obligation after the Closing Date may be at reasonable periodic intervals or otherwise upon request of the City or Bond Counsel. For purposes 4937-4089-0050v4/200356-0721 4
of this section, if Bonds mature on the same date but have different interest rates, each separate CUSIP number within that maturity will be treated as a separate maturity of the Bonds. The Underwriter confirms that it has offered the Bonds to the public on or before the date of this Purchase Agreement at the offering price or prices (the “initial offering price”), or at the corresponding yield or yields, set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto, except as otherwise set forth therein. Exhibit A also sets forth, identified under the column “Hold the Offering Price Rule Used,” as of the date of this Purchase Agreement, the maturities, if any, of the Bonds for which the 10% test has not been satisfied and for which the City and the Underwriter agree that the restrictions set forth in the next sentence shall apply, which will allow the City to treat the initial offering price to the public of each such maturity as of the sale date as the issue price of that maturity (the “hold-the-offering-price rule”). So long as the hold-the-offering-price rule remains applicable to any maturity of the Bonds, the Underwriter will neither offer nor sell unsold Bonds of that maturity to any person at a price that is higher than the initial offering price to the public during the period starting on the sale date and ending on the earlier of the following. (1) the close of the fifth (5th) business day after the sale date; or (2) the date on which the Underwriter has sold at least 10% of that maturity of the Bonds to the public at a price that is no higher than the initial offering price to the public. The Underwriter will advise the City promptly after the close of the fifth (5th) business day after the sale date whether it has sold 10% of that maturity of the Bonds to the public at a price that is no higher than the initial offering price to the public. (d) The Underwriter confirms that: (1) any selling group agreement and any third-party distribution agreement relating to the initial sale of the Bonds to the public, together with the related pricing wires, contains or will contain language obligating each dealer who is a member of the selling group and each broker-dealer that is a party to such third-party distribution agreement, as applicable: (A) (i) to report the prices at which it sells to the public the unsold Bonds of each maturity allocated to it, whether or not the Closing Date has occurred, until either all Bonds of that maturity allocated to it have been sold or it is notified by the Underwriter that the 10% test has been satisfied as to the Bonds of that maturity, provided that, the reporting obligation after the Closing Date may be at reasonable periodic intervals or otherwise upon request of the Underwriter, and (ii) to comply with the hold-the-offering-price rule, if applicable, if and for so long as directed by the Underwriter, (B) to promptly notify the Underwriter of any sales of Bonds that, to its knowledge, are made to a purchaser who is a related party to an underwriter participating in the initial sale of the Bonds to the public (each such term being used as defined below), and 4937-4089-0050v4/200356-0721 5
(C) to acknowledge that, unless otherwise advised by the dealer or broker-dealer, the Underwriter shall assume that each order submitted by the dealer or broker-dealer is a sale to the public. (2) any selling group agreement relating to the initial sale of the Bonds to the public, together with the related pricing wires, contains or will contain language obligating each dealer that is a party to a third-party distribution agreement to be employed in connection with the initial sale of the Bonds to the public to require each broker-dealer that is a party to such third-party distribution agreement to (A) report the prices at which it sells to the public the unsold Bonds of each maturity allocated to it, whether or not the Closing Date has occurred, until either all Bonds of that maturity allocated to it have been sold or it is notified by the Underwriter or the dealer that the 10% test has been satisfied as to the Bonds of that maturity, provided that, the reporting obligation after the Closing Date may be at reasonable periodic intervals or otherwise upon request of the Underwriter or the dealer, and (B) comply with the hold-the-offering-price rule, if applicable, if and for so long as directed by the Underwriter or the dealer and as set forth in the related pricing wires. (e) The City acknowledges that, in making the representations set forth in this section, the Underwriter will rely on (i) in the event a selling group has been created in connection with the initial sale of the Bonds to the public, the agreement of each dealer who is a member of the selling group to comply with the requirements for establishing issue price of the Bonds, including, but not limited to, its agreement to comply with the hold-the-offering-price rule, if applicable to the Bonds, as set forth in a selling group agreement and the related pricing wires, and (ii) in the event that a third-party distribution agreement was employed in connection with the initial sale of the Bonds to the public, the agreement of each broker-dealer that is a party to such agreement to comply with the requirements for establishing issue price of the Bonds, including, but not limited to, its agreement to comply with the hold-the-offering-price rule, if applicable to the Bonds, as set forth in the third-party distribution agreement and the related pricing wires. The City further acknowledges that the Underwriter shall not be liable for the failure of any dealer who is a member of a selling group, or of any broker-dealer that is a party to a third-party distribution agreement, to comply with its corresponding agreement to comply with the requirements for establishing issue price of the Bonds, including, but not limited to, its agreement to comply with the hold-the-offering-price rule, if applicable to the Bonds. (f) The Underwriter acknowledges that sales of any Bonds to any person that is a related party to an underwriter participating in the initial sale of the Bonds to the public (each such term being used as defined below) shall not constitute sales to the public for purposes of this section. Further, for purposes of this section: (1) “public” means any person other than an underwriter or a related party; (2) “underwriter” means (A) any person that agrees pursuant to a written contract with the City (or with the lead underwriter to form an underwriting syndicate) to participate in the initial sale of the Bonds to the public and (B) any person that agrees pursuant to a written contract directly or indirectly with a person described in clause (A) to participate in the initial sale of the Bonds to the public 4937-4089-0050v4/200356-0721 6
(including a member of a selling group or a party to a third-party distribution agreement participating in the initial sale of the Bonds to the public); (3) a purchaser of any of the Bonds is a “related party” to an underwriter if the underwriter and the purchaser are subject, directly or indirectly, to (i) more than 50% common ownership of the voting power or the total value of their stock, if both entities are corporations (including direct ownership by one corporation of another), (ii) more than 50% common ownership of their capital interests or profits interests, if both entities are partnerships (including direct ownership by one partnership of another), or (iii) more than 50% common ownership of the value of the outstanding stock of the corporation or the capital interests or profit interests of the partnership, as applicable, if one entity is a corporation and the other entity is a partnership (including direct ownership of the applicable stock or interests by one entity of the other); and (4) “sale date” means the date of execution of this Purchase Agreement by the City and the Underwriter. 3.

(g) The City shall not supplement or amend the Official Statement or cause the Official Statement to be supplemented or amended without the prior written consent of the Underwriter. Until the date which is twenty-five (25) days after the “end of the underwriting period” (as hereinafter defined), if any event shall occur of which the City is aware, as a result of which it may be necessary to supplement the Official Statement in order to make the statements in the Official 4937-4089-0050v4/200356-0721 8
Statement, in light of the circumstances existing at such time, not misleading, the City shall forthwith notify the Underwriter of any such event of which it has knowledge and shall cooperate fully in furnishing any information available to it for any supplement to the Official Statement necessary, in the Underwriter’s opinion, so that the statements therein as so supplemented will not be misleading in light of the circumstances existing at such time and the City shall promptly furnish to the Underwriter a reasonable number of copies of such supplement.

Until such time as moneys have been set aside in an amount sufficient to pay all then outstanding Bonds at maturity or to the date of redemption if redeemed prior to maturity, plus unpaid interest thereon to maturity or to the date of redemption if redeemed prior to maturity, and premium, if any, the City will faithfully perform and abide by all of its covenants and undertakings, and the provisions contained in the Fiscal Agent Agreement. (i) Except as disclosed in the Preliminary Official Statement, no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation, at law or in equity, before or by any court, regulatory agency, public board or body is pending with respect to which the City has been served with process or, to the best knowledge of the City, threatened (i) which would materially adversely affect the ability of either the City or the District to perform their obligations under the Bonds, the Formation Documents or the District Documents, or (ii) seeking to restrain or to enjoin the issuance, sale or delivery of the Bonds, the application of the proceeds thereof in accordance with the Fiscal Agent Agreement, or the collection or application of the Special Tax pledged or to be pledged to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds, or the pledge thereof, or in any way contesting or affecting the validity or enforceability of the Bonds, the Formation Documents, the District Documents, or any action contemplated by any of said documents, or (iii) in any way contesting the completeness or accuracy of the Official Statement or the powers or authority of the City or the District with respect to the Bonds, the Formation Documents, the District Documents, or any action of the City or the District contemplated by any of said documents; nor is there any action pending with respect to which the City has been served with process or, to the best knowledge of the City, threatened against the City or the District which alleges that interest on the Bonds is not excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes or is not exempt from California personal income taxation, or (iv) which would affect or restrain the ability of the owners of property within the District to develop their property as described in the Preliminary Official Statement. (j) The City will furnish such information, execute such instruments and take such other action in cooperation with the Underwriter as the Underwriter may reasonably request in order for the Underwriter to qualify the Bonds for offer and sale under the “Blue Sky” or other securities laws and regulations of such states and other jurisdictions of the United States as the 4937-4089-0050v4/200356-0721 9
Underwriter may designate; provided, however, the City shall not be required to register as a dealer or a broker of securities or to consent to service of process in connection with any blue sky filing.

The City hereby covenants and agrees that, within seven (7) business days from the date hereof, the City shall cause a final printed form of the Official Statement to be delivered to the Underwriter in a quantity mutually agreed upon by the Underwriter and the City so that the Underwriter may comply with paragraph (b)(4) of Rule 15c2-12 and Rules G-12, G-15, and G-32 of the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board.

The undersigned, on behalf of the Developer, makes the representations herein with respect to all such Property. 3. The Developer has, or will have prior to the Closing, duly authorized the execution and delivery of the Developer Continuing Disclosure Certificate at the Closing and the performance by the Developer of its obligations thereunder. 4. Except as disclosed in the Preliminary Official Statement, to the Actual Knowledge of the Undersigned,1 (a) the Developer and its Relevant Entities2 are not in breach of or in default 1 “Actual Knowledge of the Undersigned” means the actual (as opposed to constructive) knowledge that the individual signing on behalf of the Developer currently has as of the date of this Letter of Representations or has obtained through: (i) interviews with such current officers and responsible employees of the Developer and its Relevant Entities as the undersigned has determined are reasonably likely, in the ordinary course of their respective duties, to have knowledge of the matters that are set forth in this Letter of Representations; and/or (ii) review of documents that were reasonably available to the undersigned and which the undersigned has reasonably deemed necessary in order for the undersigned to obtain knowledge of the matters that are set forth in this Letter of Representations.

under any applicable judgment or decree or any loan agreement, option agreement, development agreement, indenture, bond, or note (collectively, the “Material Agreements”) to which the Developer or its Relevant Entities are a party or otherwise subject, which breach or default could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the Developer’s ability to develop the Property as described in the Preliminary Official Statement or to pay the Special Tax levied against the Property (to the extent the responsibility of the Developer) prior to delinquency and (b) no event has occurred and is continuing that with the passage of time or giving of notice, or both, would constitute such a breach or default. 5. Except as described in the Preliminary Official Statement, there is no material indebtedness of the Developer or its Relevant Entities that is secured by an interest in the Property. To the Actual Knowledge of the Undersigned, neither the Developer nor any of its Relevant Entities is in default on any obligation to repay borrowed money, which default is reasonably likely to materially and adversely affect the Developer’s ability to develop the Property as described in the Preliminary Official Statement or to pay the Special Tax levied against the Property (to the extent the responsibility of the Developer) prior to delinquency. 6. Except as set forth in the Preliminary Official Statement, no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry, or investigation, at law or in equity, before or by any court, regulatory agency, public board or body is pending against the Developer (with proper service of process to the Developer having been accomplished) or, to the Actual Knowledge of the Undersigned, is pending against any Relevant Entity of the Developer (with proper service of process to such Relevant Entity having been accomplished) or to the Actual Knowledge of the Undersigned is overtly threatened in writing against the Developer or any such Relevant Entity which, if successful, is reasonably likely to materially and adversely affect the Developer’s ability to develop the Property as described in the Preliminary Official Statement or to pay the Special Tax levied against the Property (to the extent the responsibility of the Developer) prior to delinquency. 7. As of the date thereof, to the Actual Knowledge of the Undersigned, the Preliminary Official Statement, solely with respect to information contained therein with respect to the Developer, its Relevant Entities, ownership of the Property, the Developer’s development plan, the Developer’s financing plan, the Developer’s lenders, if any, and contractual arrangements of the Developer or any Relevant Entity of the Developer (including, if material to the Developer’s development plan or the Developer’s financing plan, other loans of such Relevant Entities) as set forth under the captions entitled “THE DISTRICT—Formation and Background” and “—Description and Location,” “PROPERTY OWNERSHIP AND THE DEVELOPMENT,” and “[CONTINUING DISCLOSURE—Lennar]” (excluding therefrom, in each case, information which is identified as 2 “Relevant Entities” means, with respect to the Developer, any other Person: (i) who directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, is currently controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Developer; and (ii) for whom information, including financial information or operating data, concerning such Person is material to potential investors in their evaluation of the Property and investment decision regarding the Bonds (i.e., information relevant to: (a) the Developer’s development plans with respect to the Property and ability to pay the Special Tax levied against the Property (to the extent the responsibility of the Developer) prior to delinquency; or (b) such Person’s assets or funds that would materially affect the Developer’s ability to develop the Property as described in the Preliminary Official Statement or to pay the Special Tax levied against the Property (to the extent the responsibility of the Developer) prior to delinquency). “Person” means an individual, a corporation, a partnership, a limited liability company, an association, a joint stock company, a trust, any unincorporated organization, or a government or political subdivision thereof. For purposes hereof, the term “control” (including the terms “controlling,” “controlled by” or “under common control with”) means the possession, direct or indirect, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of a Person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise. 4937-4089-0050v4/200356-0721 D-3
having been provided by a source other than the Developer), is true and correct in all material respects and does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. 8. The Developer covenants that, while the Bonds or any refunding obligations related thereto are outstanding, the Developer and its Relevant Entities which it controls will not bring any action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation, at law or in equity, before any court, regulatory agency, public board or body that in any way seeks to challenge or overturn the formation of the District, to challenge the adoption of the ordinance of the City levying the Special Tax within the District, to invalidate the District or any of the Bonds or any refunding bonds related thereto, or to invalidate the special tax liens imposed under Section 3115.5 of the Streets and Highways Code based on recordation of the notice of special tax lien relating thereto. The foregoing covenant shall not prevent the Developer or any Relevant Entity in any way from bringing any other action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation, at law or in equity, before any court, regulatory agency, public board or body including, without limitation, (a) an action or suit contending that the Special Tax has not been levied in accordance with the methodologies contained in the District’s Amended Rate and Method of Apportionment pursuant to which the Special Tax is levied, (b) an action or suit with respect to the application or use of the Special Tax levied and collected, (c) an action or suit to enforce the obligations of the City and/or the District under the Formation Documents, the District Documents, or any other agreements among the Developer or its Relevant Entities, the City, and/or the District or to which the Developer or its Relevant Entities is a party or beneficiary (including, but not limited to, the Fiscal Agent Agreement). 9. Except as disclosed in the Preliminary Official Statement or as a matter of public record (including, without limitation, liens for ad valorem tax obligations), to the Actual Knowledge of the Undersigned, no public debt secured by a tax or assessment on the Property exists or is in the process of being authorized that would include any portion of the Property. 10. To the Actual Knowledge of the Undersigned, the Developer has not been delinquent to any material extent in the payment of any ad valorem property tax, special assessment or special tax on property owned by the Developer during the period of its ownership included within the boundaries of a community facilities district or an assessment district within California within the last five (5) years that (a) caused a draw on a reserve fund relating to such assessment district or community facilities district financing or (b) resulted in a foreclosure action being commenced in a court of law against the Developer. 11. The Developer intends to comply with the provision of the Mello-Roos Community Facilities District Act of 1982, as amended relating to the Notice of Special Tax described in Government Code Section 53341.5 in connection with the sale of the Property, or portions thereof. 12. To the Actual Knowledge of the Undersigned, the Developer is able to pay its bills as they become due and no legal proceedings are pending against the Developer (with proper service of process to the Developer having been accomplished) or, to the Actual Knowledge of the Undersigned, overtly threatened in writing in which the Developer may be adjudicated as bankrupt or discharged from any and all of its debts or obligations, or granted an extension of time to pay its debts or obligations, or be allowed to reorganize or readjust its debts, or be subject to control or supervision of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. 4937-4089-0050v4/200356-0721 D-4
13. Based upon its current development plans, including, without limitation, its current budget, and subject to economic conditions and risks generally inherent in the development of real property, many of which are beyond the control of the Developer, and except as disclosed in the Preliminary Official Statement, including under the captions “THE DISTRICT—Formation and Background” and “—Description and Location,” “PROPERTY OWNERSHIP AND THE DEVELOPMENT,” and “[CONTINUING DISCLOSURE—Lennar],” the Developer currently expects that it will have sufficient funds and/or sources of funds to develop the Property as described in the Preliminary Official Statement and to pay the Special Tax levied against the Property (to the extent the responsibility of the Developer) prior to delinquency. However, neither the Developer nor its Relevant Entities are obligated to make any additional capital contribution or loan to the Developer at any time, and the Developer reserves the right to change its development plan and financing plan for the Property at any time without notice, and there is no recourse against the Developer for failure to pay Special Taxes other than the filing of a foreclosure action against the delinquent Property. 14. Solely as to the limited information described in Paragraph 7 above (and subject to the limitations and exclusions set forth in Paragraph 7), the Developer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the extent permitted by law, the City, the District, and their officials and employees, and each Person, if any (each, an “Indemnified Party” and together, the “Indemnified Parties”), who controls any of the foregoing within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or of Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, against all claims, damages, or liabilities (collectively, “Claims”) incurred by an Indemnified Party under any statute or at law or in equity, to the extent that such Claims arise from an untrue statement by the Developer of a material fact contained in the information described in Paragraph 7 above (and subject to the limitations and exclusions set forth in Paragraph 7), as of the date of the Preliminary Official Statement, or the omission by the Developer to state in the Preliminary Official Statement, as of its date, a material fact necessary to make the statements made by the Developer contained therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading. This indemnity provision shall not be construed as a limitation on any other liability which the Developer may otherwise have to any Indemnified Party, provided that in no event shall the Developer be obligated for double indemnification. Further, in no event shall the Developer’s liability under this indemnification provision extend to any claims, damages, liability, losses or costs arising out of or related to the negligence or willful misconduct of an Indemnified Party. In the event that a covered Claim is brought against any Indemnified Party, such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Developer in writing; provided that the failure to notify the Developer shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have hereunder except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided, further, that the failure to notify the Developer shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an Indemnified Party otherwise than under the above paragraph unless such liability was also conditioned upon such notice. If any proceeding shall be brought or asserted against an Indemnified Party upon a covered Claim, and it shall have notified the Developer thereof, the Developer shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party (who may be counsel to the Developer) to represent the Indemnified Party in such proceeding regarding the covered Claim and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel solely with respect to such proceeding, as incurred. Any Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel in such proceeding, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless (i) the Developer and the Indemnified Party shall have mutually agreed to the contrary; (ii) the Developer has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; (iii) the 4937-4089-0050v4/200356-0721 D-5
Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the Developer such that a material conflict of interest exists for such counsel; or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Developer and the Indemnified Party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interest between them. It is understood and agreed that the Developer shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Indemnified Parties, and that all such fees and expenses, to the extent reasonable, shall be paid or reimbursed as they are incurred. Any such separate firm shall be designated in writing by such Indemnified Parties. The Developer shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent. The Developer shall not, without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding upon a covered Claim in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (y) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party. 15. If, between the date hereof and the Closing Date, to the Actual Knowledge of the Undersigned, any event relating to or affecting the Developer, its Relevant Entities, ownership of the Property, the Developer’s development plan, the Developer’s financing plan, the Developer’s lenders, if any, and contractual arrangements of the Developer or any Relevant Entity of the Developer (including, if material to the Developer’s development plan or the Developer’s financing plan, loans of such Relevant Entities) shall occur which the undersigned believes would cause the information under the sections of the Preliminary Official Statement indicated in Paragraph 7 hereof (and subject to the limitations and exclusions set forth in Paragraph 7), to contain an untrue statement of a material fact or to omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the undersigned shall notify the City and the Underwriter and if in the opinion of counsel to the City or the Underwriter, such event requires the preparation and publication of a supplement or amendment to the Preliminary Official Statement, the Developer shall reasonably cooperate with the City in the preparation of an amendment or supplement to the Preliminary Official Statement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to counsel to the City and to the Underwriter. 16. On behalf of the Developer, the undersigned has reviewed the contents of this Certificate and has met with counsel to the Developer for the purpose of discussing the meaning of its contents. The undersigned has executed this Letter of Representations solely in his or her capacity as authorized officer or representative of the Developer and he or she will have no personal liability arising from or relating to this Letter of Representations.
