RE: Lead and Copper Rule Regulatory (LCRR) and Technical Assistance - Strategic Communications Amendment
Dear Ms. Gainey,
HDR has been assisting the City of Roseville with its Lead and Copper Rule Revisions (LCRR) compliance efforts since April of 2022. The first phase of this effort consisted of review of federal and state compliance requirements, review of the City’s existing compliance efforts, and development of a Gap Analysis Technical Memorandum (TM). Subsequently, HDR provided assistance in obtaining approval from the California Division of Drinking Water (DDW) for the City’s proposed Service Line Inventory (SLI) methodology and supported City’s consideration for an LCRR compliant communications strategy. A summary of work completed to date is provided below.

2024 Potable Water Master Plan and Hydraulic Model Update – Sole Source Professional Services Agreement and Budget Adjustment
Contact: Janice Gainey 916-774-5535 [email protected] Meeting Date: 7/17/2024
Item #: 6.25.

RECOMMENDATION TO COUNCIL
Staff recommends that City Council:

1. Approve the Professional Services Agreement with West Yost for the 2024 Potable Water Master Plan and Hydraulic Model Update in the amount of $916,607.

2. Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute the agreement on behalf of the City.

3. Adopt an ordinance to approve a budget adjustment of $260,000 from available resources in the Water Construction Fund to fully fund the project.

BACKGROUND
The goal of this effort is to establish a baseline for long-term water supply and infrastructure resiliency planning for the Water Utility. The drivers for this effort include:

The need to have an updated Capital Improvement Program for the Water Distribution System for achieving the City Council goal of investing in well-planned infrastructure and growth
Identifying a comprehensive strategy for water supply resiliency for buildout of the City Improving overall water distribution system performance Reducing infrastructure rehabilitation costs through better capital projects planning To achieve the goals of this effort the Water Utility needs to develop a Master Plan of the Potable Water System. This will require an update to the Water Distribution System Hydraulic Water Model as well, which is a tool the Utility uses to guide decisions with water system planning, infrastructure upgrades and capital improvements.

West Yost has extensive institutional knowledge of the City’s water systems gained from over 17 years of working with the water utility on a large variety of projects. Between 2007 and 2023, West Yost has conducted various hydraulic modeling and infrastructure analysis including a system wide model update project, emergency interties modeling, an evaluation of the Pressure Zone 4, Critical Dry Year Water Supply and Infrastructure Assessment, Hydraulic Capacity Evaluation of the West Side Tank and Pump Station, the Atlantic Street Railroad Pipe Crossings, new development modeling support, as well as overall general modeling support. Through these multiple projects, West Yost has developed an in-depth understanding of the City’s complex water distribution system.

Given that it would require a significant amount of time for another consultant to come up to speed to fully understand the complexities of the Roseville Water System, and given that the knowledge West Yost has developed over the years, it will consequently allow them to complete this project in a very timely manner. Environmental Utility staff’s recommendation is to sole source this effort to West Yost as the most efficient, and best value to the City.

FISCAL IMPACT
Initial funding for the 2024 Potable Water Master Plan and Hydraulic Model Update was approved in FY2023-24 for $450,000. An additional $240,000 was appropriated in the adopted FY2024-25 budget, for a total of $690,000. Subsequent contract negotiations indicate that the project will require an additional $260,000 in FY2024-25 for a total project budget of $950,000, which is funded from available resources in the Water Construction Fund.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The proposed project to develop a potable water master plan and update of the City’s water model, is non-construction and non-field related work. The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) only applies to projects which have the potential to cause a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. (CEQA Guidelines §15061(b)(3)).

Sanitary Sewer Manhole Access Assessment Project – Non-Capital Multi-Year Project Approval and Budget Adjustment
Contact: Arashdeep Singh 916-746-1854 [email protected] Meeting Date: 7/17/2024
Item #: 6.26.

RECOMMENDATION TO COUNCIL
Staff recommends that Council authorize the establishment of a new non-capital multi-year project, the Sanitary Sewer Manhole Access Assessment Project, and adopt an ordinance to approve a budget adjustment appropriating $100,000 using available resources in the Wastewater Rehabilitation Fund.

BACKGROUND
The City of Roseville Environmental Utilities (EU) Wastewater Division remains committed to proactively enhancing and managing the wastewater collection system. In compliance with Waste Discharge Requirements (WDR) permit requirements and mitigation efforts identified in a recent sanitary sewer overflow (SSO) spill report, this project will assess sanitary sewer manhole (SSMH) access to identify locations that could impede preventive maintenance and emergency operations efforts. The goal of this project is to evaluate the current maintenance access for each SSMH, identify potential limitations, and develop prioritized recommendations to address the constraints.

FISCAL IMPACT
The recommended budget adjustment for the project is funded by available resources in the Wastewater Rehabilitation Fund.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) does not apply to activities that will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, or is otherwise not considered a project as defined by CEQA Statute §21065 and CEQA State Guidelines §15060(c)(3) and §15378. Approval of a budget adjustment meets the above criteria and is not subject to CEQA. No additional environmental review is required.

Dry Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant Motor Control Center and Switchgear Replacement Project – Design-Build Construction Agreement Amendment, Change Order Authorization, and Budget Adjustment
Contact: Jeremy Snyder 916-746-1829 [email protected] Meeting Date: 7/17/2024
Item #: 6.27.

RECOMMENDATION TO COUNCIL
Staff recommends that the City Council take the following actions:

1. Adopt a resolution to approve the design-build agreement amendment with Auburn Constructors and adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute it;

2. Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to approve change orders for the Design-Build Agreement for the Dry Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant Motor Control Center and Switchgear Replacement Design-Build Project with Auburn Constructors that could increase the amended contract amount of $7,643,681 by no more than 2.6% ($200,000), up to a not-to-exceed total contract amount of $7,843,681; and

3. Adopt an ordinance to approve a budget adjustment in the amount of $300,000, increasing the total project budget to $8,206,300.

BACKGROUND
The City of Roseville entered a design-build agreement with Auburn Constructors to provide construction and design services for the replacements of the motor control centers (MCCs) and switchgear at the Dry Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant. This project includes the replacement of five (5) MCCs and two (2) switchgear that were installed in 1972, have reached the end of useful life, have no manufacturer support and spare parts are no longer available.

The need for an amendment to increase the cost of the construction agreement by $237,381 arose when reviewing the equipment submittals. The City was interested in seeing safety options that would better protect its employees and assets, and asked the design-build team to provide “break-out” pricing so the City could review these options and make decisions based on feasibility in our working environment. The following three items were selected by staff as necessary improvements not included in the original design-build agreement and have a total cost of $237,381:
- Replacing the UL891 Switchboard to a compartmentalized UL1558 Draw-Out Switchgear offers more protection from ARC Flash events and has better isolation features for maintenance, making it more capable to de-energize individual sections during maintenance ($199,574). - Adding Modbus Communications to circuit breakers, power monitors, variable frequency drives and soft-starters provides more reliable and faster communication protocols ($33,655). - Adding voltage presence sensors on main circuit breakers provides real-time monitoring of energy potential ($4,152).

FISCAL IMPACT
The recommended budget adjustment for the Dry Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant Motor Control Center and Switchgear Replacement Project, in the amount of $300,000, is funded by the Wastewater Regional Rehabilitation Fund. The recommended design-build agreement amendment of $237,381 and the not-to-exceed change order authority of $200,000 can be accommodated by the overall project budget. The budget adjustment increases the total project budget to $8,206,300.

Since this is a regional wastewater project, the Wastewater Regional Rehabilitation Fund will be reimbursed for approximately 35 percent of the project’s actual cost from the City's partners, the South Placer Municipal Utility District and Placer County. For this $300,000 budget request, the City will be reimbursed approximately $105,000. This means the actual fiscal impact of this budget request to the available resources in the Wastewater Regional Rehabilitation Fund will be approximately $195,000 after the City is reimbursed. Overall, the City’s share of the project’s total budget will be approximately $5,334,095, which is the total budget less the estimated 35 percent reimbursed from the South Placer Wastewater Authority (SPWA) partners.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
CEQA compliance for the Dry Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant Motor Control Center and Switchgear Replacement project was accomplished with preparation of the Class 1 and Class 2 Notice of Exemption (NOE) pursuant to Sections 15301 and 15302 of the CEQA guidelines (Adopted: June 7, 2023). This budget adjustment and design-build agreement amendment does not result in any changes to the project and remains consistent with the project evaluated in the approved NOE. As such, no additional CEQA action is required at this time.

Justification for Budget Adjustment:

The Dry Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant Motor Control Center and Switchgear Replacement project (#500193) requires an additional $300,000 to complete remaining work including providing motor control centers (MCCs) and electrical switchgear replacements, testing, communications/networking, programming and SCADA integration, and engineering work at the Dry Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant. This encompasses a contract amendment with Auburn Constructors for $237,381 for scope change to add safety features on Switchgear and to add contingency in the amount of $62,619. The existing project budget is $7,906,300, this budget adjustment would bring the new Project Budget total to $8,206,300
Since this is a regional wastewater project, the City will be reimbursed approximately 35% of project costs from its partners, the South Placer Municipal Utility District and Placer County.

Auburn, CA 95603 Roseville, CA 95678
Project Title: Dry Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant Motor Control Center and Switchgear Replacements
Project Location(s): 1800 Booth Road, Roseville, CA 95747. Assessor’s Parcel Numbers 474- 080-009-000, 474-110-001-000, 474-110-002-000, 473-080-000-000, and 473-080-002-000.

Project Description: The City seeks to replace five existing motor control centers (MCCs) and two electrical switchgears at the Dry Creek Water Treatment Plant. A Condition Assessment performed in 2018 determined that the existing equipment has reached its end of life, and because it was installed in 1973, it is no longer supported, and spare parts are no longer available. The replacements will also include associated testing, communications/networking, programming and SCADA integration, and engineering, all of which will result in the efficient continued operation of the facility. The project would not result in an expansion of use.

Public Agency Approving Project: Roseville City Council Agency/Individual Carrying Out Project: City of Roseville Environmental Utilities Department Reason why this Project is Exempt: The project qualifies for a Class 1 and Class 2 Categorical Exemption as described in Section 15301 and Section 15302 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) guidelines which states:
“Class 1 (Existing Facilities) consists of … minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of use; and
“Class 2 consists of the…replacement or reconstruction of existing…facilities…including...replacement or reconstruction of existing utility systems involving negligible or no expansion of capacity.”
The project consists of replacing the existing MCCs and switchgears at the Dry Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant. The project would not result in expansion of use. Consequently, the Class 1 and Class 2 Categorical Exemptions apply.

Pleasant Grove Wastewater Treatment Plant Influent Pump Station Rehabilitation Project – Design-Build Construction Agreement Amendment, Change Order Authorization, and Budget Adjustment
Contact: Jeremy Snyder 916-746-1829 [email protected] Meeting Date: 7/17/2024
Item #: 6.28.

RECOMMENDATION TO COUNCIL
Staff recommends that the City Council take the following actions:

1. Adopt a resolution to approve the design-build agreement amendment with Syblon Reid and authorize the City Manager to execute it;

2. Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to approve change orders for the Design-Build Agreement for the Pleasant Grove Wastewater Treatment Plant Influent Pump Station Rehabilitation Project with Syblon Reid that could increase the amended contract amount of $4,171,200 by no more than 8.6% ($366,000), up to a not-to-exceed total contract amount of $4,587,200; and

3. Adopt an ordinance to approve a budget adjustment in the amount of $725,000 from the Wastewater Regional Rehabilitation Fund to the Pleasant Grove Wastewater Treatment Plant Influent Pump Station Rehabilitation Project.

BACKGROUND
The City of Roseville entered into a design-build agreement with Syblon Reid to provide construction and design services for the rehabilitation of the influent pump station facility of the Pleasant Grove Wastewater Treatment Plant. This project includes the replacement of the influent pumps due to reaching end of useful life and excessive costs of rebuilds, and the replacement of the variable frequency drives for these pumps due to end of useful life, lack of manufacturer support and spare parts being unavailable.

Two issues arose to cause the need for the increase in cost to the construction agreement by $359,000:

1.) Operations requested the addition of scope to include valves and piping that would be used to bypass side-stream flow to the diversion ponds in the event of extreme wet weather. This would aid the plant in treating the heavy influent flow ($159,000).

2.) Operations requested the addition of scope to include valves and piping that would be used to bypass filter reject flow to the filter to waste in the event of extreme wet weather. This would aid the plant in treating the heavy influent flow ($200,000).

FISCAL IMPACT
The recommended budget adjustment for the Pleasant Grove Wastewater Treatment Plant Influent Pump Station Rehabilitation Project, in the amount of $725,000, is funded by the Regional Wastewater Rehabilitation Fund. The design-build agreement amendment of $359,000 and the not-to-exceed change order allowance of $366,000 is accommodated by this budget adjustment. The budget adjustment increases the total project budget to $4,737,200.

Since this is a regional wastewater project, the Wastewater Regional Rehabilitation Fund will be reimbursed for approximately 35 percent of the project’s actual cost from its partners, the South Placer Municipal Utility District and Placer County. For this $725,000 budget request, the City will be reimbursed approximately $253,750. This means the actual fiscal impact of this budget request to the available resources in the Wastewater Regional Rehabilitation Fund will be $471,250 after the City is reimbursed. Overall, the City’s share of the project’s total budget will be approximately $3,079,180, which is the total budget less the estimated 35 percent reimbursed from the South Placer Wastewater Authority (SPWA) Partners.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
CEQA compliance for the Pleasant Grove Wastewater Treatment Plant Influent Pump Station Rehabilitation project was accomplished with preparation of the Class 1 and Class 2 Notice of Exemption (NOE) pursuant to Sections 15301 and 15302 of the CEQA guidelines (Adopted:

August 16, 2023). This budget adjustment and design-build agreement amendment does not result in any changes to the project and remains consistent with the project evaluated in the approved NOE. As such, no additional CEQA action is required at this time.

Project Description: The Environmental Utilities Department (EU) seeks to execute a designbuild agreement to provide Variable Frequency Drives (VFD’s) and submersible influent pump replacements, testing, communications/networking, programming and SCADA integration, and engineering for Pleasant Grove Wastewater Treatment Plant influent pump station rehabilitation.

The project was initiated to replace end-of-life electrical equipment and pumps. The existing VFD’s are no longer supported and spare parts are unavailable. The original equipment manufacturer does not exist on this capacity presently. The pumps are needing to be rebuilt more often, have become less reliable, and the rebuild costs, due to the age of the equipment, has increased significantly. The project would increase reliability of the pumps while reducing operating costs, and it would not result in an expansion of use.

The special taxes for the payment of Facilities and Services are hereby levied commencing in fiscal year 2023-24 and in each fiscal year thereafter as provided in each applicable Rate and Method. A special tax shall not be levied to finance the Facilities and Services after the fiscal year identified in the applicable Rate and Method, except that a special tax that was lawfully levied in or before the final tax year and that remains delinquent may be collected in subsequent years.

Section 2. The Chief Financial Officer of the City is hereby authorized and directed each fiscal year to determine the specific special tax rate and amount to be levied for the next ensuing fiscal year for each parcel of real property within the CFD and each Future Improvement Area, if any, in the manner and as provided in the Resolution of Formation.

Section 3. Except as set forth in the Rate and Method, properties or entities of the State, federal or local governments shall be exempt from any levy of the special taxes. In no event shall the special taxes be levied on any parcel within the CFD (including any parcels in the Future Annexation Area that annex into the CFD) or a Future Improvement Area, if any, in excess of the maximum tax specified in the Resolution of Formation and the applicable Rate and Method.
3 Section 4. All of the collections of the special tax shall be used as provided for in the Act, the applicable Rate and Method and in the Resolution of Formation including, but not limited to, the payment of principal and interest on bonds secured by the special taxes (the “Bonds”), the replenishment of the reserve fund for the Bonds, the payment of the costs of the Facilities and Services, the payment of the costs of the City in administering the CFD (including any parcels in the Future Annexation Area that annex into the CFD), or a Future Improvement Area, if any, and the costs of collecting and administering the special tax.

Preliminary Official Statement

BACKGROUND
Amoruso Ranch CFD No. 1 (Public Facilities) was formed on June 21, 2023 with Resolution 23- 292. The bonds are being issued at the developer's request, in an amount not to exceed $36,000,000, to i) construct and acquire certain public facilities of benefit to the District, (ii) provide for a deposit to a debt service reserve account for the 2024 bonds, (iii) pay capitalized interest on the 2024 Bonds through September 1, 2024, and (iv) pay costs of issuance of the 2024 Bonds. The maximum authorized indebtedness for the District is $594,000,000, of which $124,000,000 is allocated to Improvement Area No.1.

FISCAL IMPACT
The CFD will generate special taxes that will be paid by the property owners sufficient to pay the costs of the debt service, CFD administration, and any authorized pay-as-you-go facilities, as well as provide funding in the future for maintenance/replacement of constructed facilities. The issuance of these bonds will not impact the City's General Fund.

Every temporary Bond shall be executed by the City upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner as the definitive Bonds. If the City issues temporary Bonds it will execute and furnish definitive Bonds without delay and thereupon the temporary Bonds shall be surrendered, for cancellation, in exchange for the definitive Bonds at the Principal Office of the Fiscal Agent or at such other location as the Fiscal Agent shall designate, and the Fiscal Agent shall authenticate and deliver in exchange for such temporary Bonds an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive Bonds of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary bonds shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as definitive Bonds authenticated and delivered hereunder.

If any Bond shall become mutilated, the City shall execute, and the Fiscal Agent shall authenticate and deliver, a new Bond of like tenor and principal amount in exchange and substitution for the Bond so mutilated, but only upon surrender to the Fiscal Agent of the Bond so mutilated.

If any Bond shall be lost, destroyed or stolen, evidence of such loss, destruction or theft may be submitted to the Fiscal Agent and, if such evidence be satisfactory to it and indemnity for the Fiscal Agent and the City satisfactory to the Fiscal Agent and the City shall be given, the City shall execute, and the Fiscal Agent shall authenticate and deliver, a new Bond of like tenor and principal amount in lieu of and in substitution for the Bond so lost, destroyed or stolen. The City or Fiscal Agent, as applicable, may require payment of a sum not exceeding the actual cost of preparing each new Bond delivered under this Section and of the fees and expenses which may be incurred by the City or the Fiscal Agent, as applicable, for the preparation, execution, authentication and delivery. Any Bond delivered under the provisions of this Section in lieu of any Bond alleged to be lost, destroyed or stolen shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation on the part of the City whether or not the Bond so alleged to be lost, destroyed or stolen is at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be equally and proportionately entitled to the benefits of this Agreement with all other Bonds issued pursuant to this Agreement
Section 2.11. Limited Obligation. All obligations of the City under this Agreement and the Bonds shall be special obligations of the City, payable solely from the Special Tax Revenues and the funds pledged therefore hereunder. Neither the full faith and credit nor the taxing power of the City (except to the limited extent set forth herein) or the State of California or any political subdivision thereof is pledged to the payment of the Bonds.

Section 2.12. Book-Entry Only System. DTC shall act as the initial Depository for the Bonds. One Bond for each maturity of the Bonds shall be initially executed, authenticated, and 19 delivered as set forth herein as a separate fully registered certificate (in printed or typewritten form). Upon initial execution, authentication, and delivery, the ownership of the Bonds shall be registered in the Bond Register kept by the Fiscal Agent for the Bonds in the name of Cede & Co, as nominee of DTC or such nominee as DTC shall appoint in writing.

The Authorized Officers and the Fiscal Agent are hereby authorized to take any and all actions as may be necessary and not inconsistent with this Agreement to qualify the Bonds for the Depository’s book-entry system, including the execution of the Depository’s required representation letter.

With respect to Bonds registered in the Bond Register in the name of Cede & Co, as nominee of DTC, the Fiscal Agent shall not have any responsibility or obligation to any broker-dealer, bank, or other financial institution for which DTC holds Bonds as Depository from time to time (the “DTC Participants”) or to any person for which a DTC Participant acquires an interest in the Bonds (the “Beneficial Owners”). Without limiting the immediately preceding sentence, the Fiscal Agent shall not have any responsibility or obligation with respect to (i) the accuracy of the records of DTC, Cede & Co, or any DTC Participant with respect to any ownership interest in the Bonds, (ii) the delivery to any DTC Participant, any Beneficial Owner, or any other person, other than DTC, of any notice with respect to the Bonds, including any notice of redemption or mandatory tender, (iii) the selection by the Depository of the beneficial interests in the Bonds to be redeemed in the event the City elects to redeem the Bonds in part, (iv) the payment to any DTC Participant, any Beneficial Owner, or any other person, other than DTC, of any amount with respect to the principal of or interest on the Bonds, or (v) any consent given or other action taken by the Depository as Owner of the Bonds.

The Fiscal Agent may treat as and deem DTC to be the absolute Owner of each Bond for which DTC is acting as Depository for the purpose of payment of the principal of and interest on such Bonds, for the purpose of giving notices of prepayment and other matters with respect to such Bonds, for the purpose of registering transfers with respect to such Bonds, and for all purposes whatsoever. The Fiscal Agent shall pay all principal of and interest on the Bonds only to the Owners as shown on the registration books, and all such payments shall be valid and effective to fully satisfy and discharge all obligations with respect to the principal of and interest on the Bonds to the extent of the sums or sums so paid.

No person other than an Owner, as shown on the Bond Register, shall receive a physical Bond. Upon delivery by DTC to the Fiscal Agent of written notice to the effect that DTC has determined to substitute a new nominee in place of Cede & Co., and subject to the transfer provisions in Section 2.06 hereof, references to “Cede & Co.” in this Section 2.12 shall refer to such new nominee of DTC.

DTC may determine to discontinue providing its services with respect to the Bonds at any time by giving written notice to the Fiscal Agent and the City during any time that the Bonds are Outstanding, and discharging its responsibilities with respect thereto under applicable law.

The City may terminate the services of DTC with respect to the Bonds if it determines that DTC is unable to discharge its responsibilities with respect to the Bonds or that continuation of the system of book-entry transfers through DTC is not in the best interest of the Beneficial Owners, and the City shall promptly mail notice of such termination to the Fiscal Agent.

Upon the termination of the services of DTC as provided in the previous paragraph, and if no substitute Depository willing to undertake the functions hereunder can be found which is willing and able to undertake such functions upon reasonable or customary terms, or if the City 20 determines that it is in the best interest of the Beneficial Owners of the Bonds that they be able to obtain certificated Bonds, the Bonds shall no longer be restricted to being registered in the Bond Register of the Fiscal Agent in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, but may be registered in whatever name or names the Owners shall designate at that time, in accordance with Section 2.06.

To the extent that the Beneficial Owners are designated as the transferee by the Owners, in accordance with Section 2.06, the Bonds will be delivered to such Beneficial Owners as soon as practicable.

Section 2.13. No Acceleration. The principal of the Bonds shall not be subject to acceleration hereunder. Nothing in this Section 2.13 shall in any way prohibit the prepayment or redemption of Bonds under Section 2.03 hereof, or the defeasance of the Bonds and discharge of this Agreement under Section 9.03 hereof.

The Special Taxes shall be payable and 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, and have the same priority, become delinquent at the same times and in the same proportionate amounts and bear the same proportionate penalties and interest after delinquency as do the general taxes on real property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Special Taxes may be collected in such other manner as the City shall prescribe if necessary to pay the debt service on the Bonds. 30 Section 5.11. Further Assurances. The City will adopt, make, execute and deliver any and all such further resolutions, instruments and assurances as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out the intention or to facilitate the performance of this Agreement, and for the better assuring and confirming unto the Owners of the rights and benefits provided in this Agreement.

Section 5.12. No Arbitrage. The City shall not take, or permit or suffer to be taken by the Fiscal Agent or otherwise, any action with respect to the gross proceeds of the Bonds which if such action had been reasonably expected to have been taken, or had been deliberately and intentionally taken, on the Closing Date would have caused the Bonds to be “arbitrage bonds” within the meaning of Section 148 of the Code and Regulations.

Section 5.13. Maintenance of Tax-Exemption. The City shall take all actions necessary to assure the exclusion of interest on the Bonds from the gross income of the Owners of the Bonds to the same extent as such interest is permitted to be excluded from gross income under the Code as in effect on the date of issuance of the Bonds.

Section 5.14. Annual State Reports. The following requirements shall apply to the Bonds:
(A) Annual Reporting. Not later than October 30 of each calendar year, beginning with the October 30 first succeeding the date of the Bonds, and in each calendar year thereafter until the October 30 following the final maturity of the Bonds, the City shall prepare and supply the California Debt and Investment Advisory Commission (“CDIAC”), by mail, postage prepaid, with the information required under Section 53359.5(b) of the Act. Not later than January 1 of the year following issuance of the Bonds, and at least once a year thereafter, the Chief Financial Officer shall file a report with the City Council in accordance with the requirements of Government Code Section 53411, which report shall contain: (a) the amount of Special Taxes collected and expended; and (b) if applicable, the status of the Project financed by the District.

In addition, no later than seven months after the end of the City’s fiscal year, the City shall prepare and supply to CDIAC the information required by Section 8855(k) of the Government Code. The annual reporting shall be made using such form or forms as may be prescribed by CDIAC.
(B) Other Reporting. If at any time the Fiscal Agent fails to pay principal and interest due on any scheduled payment date for the Bonds, or if funds are withdrawn from the Reserve Fund to pay principal and interest on the Bonds, the Fiscal Agent shall notify the Chief Financial Officer of such failure or withdrawal in writing. An official of the City shall notify CDIAC pursuant to Government Code Section 53359.5(c) within 10 days of the occurrence of any of the following events: (i) the scheduled principal or interest on the Bonds is not paid; or (ii) a draw on the Reserve Fund to pay to pay principal and interest on the Bonds which draw causes the Reserve Fund to be reduced to an amount less than the Reserve Requirement. (C) Amendment. The reporting requirements of this Section 5.14 shall be amended from time to time, without action by the City or the Fiscal Agent, to reflect any amendments to the applicable provisions of the Government Code, including the Act. (D) Reports to Bondowners. The Chief Financial Officer shall provide copies of any reports required by this Section to any Bondowner upon the written request of a Bondowner and payment by the person requesting the information of the cost of the City to photocopy and pay any postage or other delivery cost to provide the same, as determined by the Chief Financial 31 Officer. The term “Bondowner” for purposes of this Section shall include any beneficial owner of the Bonds as described in Section 2.12.
(E) No Liability. None of the City and its officers, agents and employees, the Finance Director or the Fiscal Agent shall be liable for any inadvertent error in reporting the information required by this Section.

Section 5.15. Covenant to Foreclose. The City hereby covenants with and for the benefit of the Owners of the Bonds that it will annually on or before September 1 of each year review the public records of the County of Placer relating to the collection of the Special Tax in order to determine the amount of the Special Tax collected in the prior Fiscal Year, and if the City determines on the basis of such review that
a) the amount so collected is deficient by more than 5% of the total amount of the Special Tax for Improvement Area No. 1 levied in such Fiscal Year, then the City will institute, prosecute and pursue such foreclosure proceedings against each parcel in Improvement Area No. 1 for which any installment of the Special Tax is delinquent in the time and manner provided below; or
(b) the amount so collected is deficient by less than 5% of the total amount of the Special Tax levied in Improvement Area No. 1 in such Fiscal Year, but property owned by any single property owner in Improvement Area No. 1 is delinquent cumulatively by an amount equal to four installment payments with respect to the current and past Special Tax due, then the City will institute, prosecute and pursue such foreclosure proceedings against each such property owner in the time and manner provided below.

The City shall within 30 days thereafter send a written demand letter to the delinquent parcel(s) and lender of record, if any, as the first step in instituting foreclosure proceedings as authorized by the Mello-Roos Act in order to enforce the lien of the delinquent installment of the Special Tax on each such parcel, and shall thereafter diligently prosecute and pursue such foreclosure proceedings to judgment and sale in such manner and upon such timing as advised by legal counsel, taking into account the amounts delinquent, the estimate cost of legal proceedings, the status of Special Tax collections and available debt service reserves.

Additionally notwithstanding any of the foregoing, in certain instances the amount of a Special Tax delinquency on a particular parcel in relation to the cost of appropriate foreclosure proceedings may be such that the costs do not warrant the foreclosure proceedings costs. In such cases, foreclosure proceedings may be delayed by the City until there are sufficient Special Tax delinquencies accruing to such parcel (including interest and penalties thereon) to warrant the cost of such foreclosure proceedings.

Section 5.16. Continuing Disclosure to Owners. The City hereby covenants and agrees that it will comply with and carry out all of the provisions of the Continuing Disclosure Certificate.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, failure of the City to comply with the Continuing Disclosure Certificate shall not be considered a default hereunder; provided, any Participating Underwriter or any holder or beneficial owner of the Bonds may take such actions as may be necessary and appropriate to compel performance by the City of its obligations thereunder, including seeking mandate or specific performance by court order.

Section 5.17. Additional Bonds.
32 (A) Issuance of Additional Bonds. In addition to the 2024 Bonds, the City may, by a Supplemental Agreement, authorize the issuance of one or more additional series of special tax bonds (the “Additional Bonds”), payable from Special Taxes and secured by the Special Tax Revenues and other amounts pledged to the Bonds, as and to the extent set forth in Section 4.01, equally and ratably with 2024 Bonds, and the City may issue, and the Fiscal Agent may authenticate and deliver to the purchaser thereof, such Additional Bonds in the principal amount as shall be determined by the City, subject to the following specific conditions, which are hereby made conditions precedent to the issuance of any such Additional Bonds:
(i) No default in the Bonds shall have occurred and then be continuing, (ii) The issuance of the Additional Bonds shall have been duly authorized by the City, and not exceed the maximum bonded indebtedness authorized for the District. (iii) The Additional Bonds shall be payable as to principal on September 1 in each year in which principal becomes due, and shall be payable as to interest semiannually on March 1 and September 1.
(iv) There shall be deposited into a reserve account of the Reserve Fund, an amount at least equal to the Reserve Requirement with respect to such Additional Bonds. (v) After giving effect to the issuance of the Additional Bonds:
(a) For each Bond Year the Additional Bonds are Outstanding, projected Special Taxes Revenues, if levied at the maximum annual Special Tax rates per the Special Tax Formula, in each Fiscal Year are at least equal to 110% of Debt Service due in the Bond Year that begins in the corresponding Fiscal Year, as calculated by the special tax consultant to the City; and (b) Both of the following conditions are met:
(i) Regarding All Parcels in Improvement Area No. 1: The aggregate value of all parcels in Improvement Area No. 1 subject to the Special Tax, including then existing improvements and any facilities to be constructed or acquired with the proceeds of the Additional Bonds, as determined by an MAI appraisal, assessed valuations shown on the then current County tax roll, or by a combination of both methods, is at least 3.00 times the sum of (1) the aggregate principal amount of all Bonds then Outstanding, plus (2) the aggregate principal amount of the Additional Bonds proposed to be issued, plus (3) the proportionate principal amount of any bonds then outstanding and payable from assessments which are a lien against property in Improvement Area No. 1, plus (4) a portion of the aggregate principal amount of all bonds issued under the Act, other than Bonds then Outstanding and the Additional Bonds, payable at least partially from special taxes to be levied on parcels of land subject to the Special Tax within Improvement Area No. 1 (the “Other Mello-Roos Bonds”) equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Other Mello-Roos Bonds multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of special taxes levied for the Other Mello-Roos Bonds on parcels of land within Improvement Area No. 1 subject to the Special Tax, and the denominator of which is the total amount of special taxes levied for the Other Mello-Roos Bonds on all parcels of land against which special taxes are levied to pay the Other Mello-Roos Bonds (such fraction to be determined based 33 upon the special taxes which could be levied the year in which the Additional Bonds are issued, as determined by the City), based upon information from the most recent available Fiscal Year.
(ii) Regarding Recently Annexed Parcels: The aggregate value of the Recently Annexed Parcels, including then existing improvements and any facilities to be constructed or acquired with the proceeds of the Additional Bonds, as determined by an MAI appraisal, assessed valuations shown on the then current County tax roll, or by a combination of both methods, is at least 3.00 times the sum of (1) the Attributable Principal Amount of all Bonds then Outstanding, plus (2) the Attributable Principal Amount of the Additional Bonds proposed to be issued, plus (3) the proportionate amount of any bonds then outstanding and payable from assessments which are a lien against the Recently Annexed Parcels, plus (4) the allocation of Other Mello-Roos Bonds determined to be applicable to the Recently Annexed Parcels pursuant to subsection (i) directly above.

As used herein, “Recently Annexed Parcels” means all parcels in Improvement Area No. 1 subject to the Special Tax which were annexed into Improvement Area No. 1 following the closing date for the then-most recently issued series of Bonds, and “Attributable Principal Amount” means for the Bonds or any Additional Bonds, calculated separately, an amount equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of such Bonds and Additional Bonds multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of special taxes that will be levied for such Bonds and Additional Bonds on Recently Annexed Parcels in the first fiscal year in which the levy includes debt service for the applicable series of Additional Bonds, and the denominator of which is the total amount of special taxes that will be levied for the Bonds and Additional Bonds on all parcels of land in Improvement Area No. 1 against which the special taxes are levied to pay the Bonds and Additional Bonds in such fiscal year.

Nothing in this Section or in this Agreement shall prevent or be construed to prevent the Supplemental Agreement providing for the issuance of Additional Bonds from pledging or otherwise providing, in addition to the security given or intended to be given by this Agreement, additional security for the benefit of such Additional Bonds or any portion thereof.

Additional Bonds may be issued for the purpose of refunding any outstanding Bonds without meeting the foregoing conditions so long as debt service on the refunding Bonds in each Bond Year is less than debt service on the Bonds refunded.

Nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted to prohibit issuance of bonds or Additional Bonds secured on a subordinate basis to the Bonds.
(B) Proceedings for Issuance of Additional Bonds. Whenever the City shall determine to issue Additional Bonds:
(i) The City shall authorize the execution of a Supplemental Agreement specifying the principal amount and prescribing the forms of the Additional Bonds and providing the terms, conditions, distinctive designation, denominations, methods of numbering, date, maturity date or dates, interest rate or rates (or the manner of determining same), interest payment dates, redemption provisions (including the amount and dates of mandatory sinking fund payments, if any), place or places of payment of principal or redemption price, if any, application 34 of the proceeds thereof and any other provisions respecting the Additional Bonds not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, and
(ii) The Fiscal Agent shall receive an Officer’s Certificate stating that the requirements of Section 5.17(A) have been met.

Section 5.18. Yield of the Bonds. In determining the yield of the Bonds to comply with Section 5.12 and Section 6.02, the City will take into account redemption (including premium, if any) in advance of maturity based on the reasonable expectations of the City, as of the closing date of the Bonds, without regard to whether or not redemption moneys are received or Bonds are redeemed.
35 ARTICLE VI
INVESTMENTS; DISPOSITION OF INVESTMENT PROCEEDS;

LIABILITY OF THE CITY
Section 6.01. Deposit and Investment of Moneys in Funds. Subject in all respects to the provisions of Section 6.02, moneys in any fund or account created or established by this Agreement and held by the Fiscal Agent, shall be invested by the Fiscal Agent in Permitted Investments, as directed pursuant to an Officer’s Certificate filed (including by facsimile transmission) with the Fiscal Agent at least two (2) Business Days in advance of the making of such investments (such Officer’s Certificate to specify the particular Permitted Investment to be made). In the absence of any such Officer’s Certificate, the Fiscal Agent shall hold such moneys uninvested as cash and notify the Finance Director that it is doing so until further direction is received from the Finance Director. Subject in all respects to the provisions of Section 6.02, moneys in any fund or account created or established by this Agreement and held by the Finance Director shall be invested by the Finance Director in any lawful investments that the City may make, which by their terms mature prior to the date on which such moneys are required to be paid out hereunder. Obligations purchased as an investment of moneys in any fund shall be deemed to be part of such fund or account, subject, however, to the requirements of this Agreement for transfer of interest earnings and profits resulting from investment of amounts in funds and accounts.

The Fiscal Agent may act as principal or agent in the acquisition or disposition of any investment. The Fiscal Agent shall not incur any liability for losses, fees, taxes or other charges arising from or incurred in connection with any investments, reinvestments or liquidations of investments made pursuant to this Section and hereunder. Any losses arising from any investments made pursuant to this Section shall be offset against interest earnings and profits retained in the same fund.

Except as otherwise provided in the next sentence, all investments of amounts deposited in any fund or account created by or pursuant to this Agreement, or otherwise containing gross proceeds of the Bonds (within the meaning of Section 148 of the Code), shall be acquired, disposed of, and valued (as of the date that valuation is required by this Agreement or the Code) at Fair Market Value. Investments in funds or accounts (or portions thereof) that are subject to a yield restriction under applicable provisions of the Code and (unless valuation is undertaken at least annually) investments in the Reserve Fund shall be valued by the City at their present value (within the meaning of Section 148 of the Code). For purposes of any Fair Market Value determination hereunder, the Fiscal Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely on an Officer’s Certificate of the City and shall be fully protected in relying thereon.

Investments in any and all funds and accounts may be commingled in a separate fund or funds for purposes of making, holding and disposing of investments, notwithstanding provisions herein for transfer to or holding in or to the credit of particular funds or accounts of amounts received or held by the Fiscal Agent or the Finance Director hereunder, provided that the Fiscal Agent or the Finance Director, as applicable, shall at all times account for such investments strictly in accordance with the funds and accounts to which they are credited and otherwise as provided in this Agreement.

The Fiscal Agent or the Finance Director, as applicable, shall sell or present for redemption, any investment security whenever it shall be necessary to provide moneys to meet any required payment, transfer, withdrawal or disbursement from the fund or account to which 36 such investment security is credited, subject to the second paragraph of this Section, and neither the Fiscal Agent nor the Finance Director shall be liable or responsible for any loss resulting from the acquisition or disposition of such investment security in accordance herewith.

The City acknowledges that to the extent regulations of the Comptroller of the Currency or other applicable regulatory entity grant the City the right to receive brokerage confirmations of security transactions as they occur, the City specifically waives receipt of such confirmations to the extent permitted by law. The Fiscal Agent will furnish the City periodic cash transaction statements which include detail for all investment transactions made by the Fiscal Agent hereunder.

Section 6.02. Rebate of Excess Investment Earnings to the United States. The City covenants to calculate and rebate to the federal government, in accordance with the Regulations, excess investment earnings to the extent required by Section 148(f) of the Code.

The City shall notify the Fiscal Agent of any amounts determined to be due to the federal government, and the Fiscal Agent shall, upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate of the City, withdraw such amounts from the Reserve Fund pursuant to Section 4.03(D), and pay such amounts to the federal government as directed by the Officer’s Certificate which shall comply with the requirements of the Code and the Regulations. In the event of any shortfall in amounts available to make such payments under Section 4.03(D), the Fiscal Agent shall notify the Finance Director in writing of the amount of the shortfall and the Finance Director shall make such payment from any amounts available in the Special Tax Fund. Any fees or expenses incurred by the Fiscal Agent or the City under or pursuant to this Section 6.02 shall be Administrative Expenses. The Fiscal Agent may rely conclusively and shall be fully protected from liability in conclusively relying upon the City’s determinations, calculations, opinions, directions and certifications required by this Section. The Fiscal Agent shall have no responsibility to independently make any calculation or determination or to review the City’s calculations hereunder or to confirm the adequacy or correctness of any rebate report. The Fiscal Agent shall be deemed conclusively to have complied with the provisions of this Agreement and any other agreement relating to the Bonds regarding calculation and payment of rebate if it follows the directions of the City, and it shall have no independent duty to review or enforce the City’s compliance with such rebate requirements. Except to the extent expressly herein provided, the Fiscal Agent shall in no instance be responsible or liable for the tax treatment of the Bonds, the City’s or District’s compliance with the Code, or any other tax consequences in connection with the Bonds.

In order to provide for the administration of this Section 6.02, the City may provide for the employment of independent attorneys, accountants and consultants compensated on such reasonable basis as the City may deem appropriate.

Section 6.03. Limited Obligation. The City’s obligations hereunder are limited obligations of the City on behalf of the District and are payable solely from and secured solely by the Special Tax Revenues and the amounts in the Special Tax Fund, the Bond Fund and the Reserve Fund created hereunder.
37 ARTICLE VII

THE FISCAL AGENT
Section 7.01. Appointment of Fiscal Agent. U.S. Bank Trust Company, N.A., at its Principal Office, is hereby appointed Fiscal Agent for the Bonds. The Fiscal Agent undertakes to perform such duties, and only such duties, as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Fiscal Agent.

Any company into which the Fiscal Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated or any company resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which it shall be a party or any company to which the Fiscal Agent may sell or transfer all or substantially all of its corporate trust business, provided such company shall be eligible under the following paragraph of this Section, shall be the successor to such Fiscal Agent without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

The City may remove the Fiscal Agent initially appointed, and any successor thereto, and may appoint a successor or successors thereto, but any such successor shall be a bank or trust company having a combined capital (exclusive of borrowed capital) and surplus of at least $50,000,000, including, for such purpose, the combined capital and surplus of any parent holding company, and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority. If such bank or trust company publishes a report of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of any supervising or examining authority above referred to, then for the purposes of this Section 7.01, combined capital and surplus of such bank or trust company shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published.

The Fiscal Agent may at any time resign by giving written notice to the City and by giving to the Owners notice by mail of such resignation. Upon receiving notice of such resignation, the City shall promptly appoint a successor Fiscal Agent by an instrument in writing. Any resignation or removal of the Fiscal Agent shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor Fiscal Agent.

If no appointment of a successor Fiscal Agent shall be made pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section within thirty (30) days after the Fiscal Agent shall have given to the City written notice or after a vacancy in the office of the Fiscal Agent shall have occurred by reason of its inability to act, the Fiscal Agent or any Bondowner may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Fiscal Agent. Said court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as such court may deem proper, appoint a successor Fiscal Agent.

Section 7.02. Liability of Fiscal Agent. The recitals of facts, covenants and agreements herein and in the Bonds contained shall be taken as statements, covenants and agreements of the City, and the Fiscal Agent assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the same, or makes any representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or of the Bonds, or shall incur any responsibility in respect thereof, other than in connection with the duties or obligations herein or in the Bonds assigned to or imposed upon it. The Fiscal Agent shall not be liable in connection with the performance of its duties hereunder, except for its own negligence or willful default. The Fiscal Agent assumes no responsibility or liability for any information, statement or recital in any offering memorandum or other disclosure material prepared or distributed with respect to the issuance of the Bonds. All indemnifications and releases from liability granted to the Fiscal Agent hereunder shall extend to the directors, officers and employees of the Fiscal 38 Agent. The Fiscal Agent has no liability regarding the use of the proceeds from the purchase of the Bonds deposited in funds held by the City.

In the absence of bad faith, the Fiscal Agent may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Fiscal Agent and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement, including all Officer’s Certificates of the City meeting such requirements; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions by which any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Fiscal Agent, the Fiscal Agent shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Agreement. Except as provided above in this paragraph, the Fiscal Agent shall be protected and shall incur no liability in acting or proceeding, or in not acting or not proceeding, in good faith, reasonably and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, upon any resolution, order, notice, request, consent or waiver, certificate, statement, affidavit, or other paper or document which it shall in good faith reasonably believe to be genuine and to have been adopted or signed by the proper person or to have been prepared and furnished pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, and the Fiscal Agent shall not be under any duty to make any investigation or inquiry as to any statements contained or matters referred to in any such instrument.

The Fiscal Agent shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a responsible officer unless it shall be proved that the Fiscal Agent was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts.

No provision of this Agreement shall require the Fiscal Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

The Fiscal Agent shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Agreement at the request or direction of any of the Owners pursuant to this Agreement unless such Owners shall have offered to the Fiscal Agent reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.

The Fiscal Agent shall not be considered in breach of or in default in its obligations hereunder or progress in respect thereto in the event of unavoidable delay in the performance of such obligations due to unforeseeable causes beyond its control and without its fault or negligence, including, but not limited to, Acts of God or of the public enemy or terrorists, acts of a government, acts of the other party, fires, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes, freight embargoes, earthquakes, explosion, mob violence, riot, inability to procure or general sabotage or rationing of labor, equipment, facilities, sources of energy, material or supplies in the open market, litigation or arbitration involving a party or others relating to zoning or other governmental action or inaction pertaining to the project, malicious mischief, condemnation, and unusually severe weather or delays of suppliers or subcontractors due to such causes or any similar event and/or occurrences beyond the control of the Fiscal Agent.

The Fiscal Agent may become the owner of the Bonds with the same rights it would have if it were not the Fiscal Agent.
39 The Fiscal Agent shall not be concerned with or accountable to anyone for the subsequent use or application of any moneys which shall be released or withdrawn in accordance with the provisions hereof.

The permissive right of the Fiscal Agent to do things enumerated in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty and it shall not be answerable for other than its negligence or willful misconduct.

The Fiscal Agent may execute any of the trusts or powers hereof and perform the duties required of it hereunder either directly or by or through attorneys or agents, and shall be entitled to rely on advice of counsel concerning all matters of trust and its duty hereunder.

Section 7.03. Information. The Fiscal Agent shall provide to the City such information relating to the Bonds and the funds and accounts maintained by the Fiscal Agent hereunder as the City shall reasonably request, including but not limited to quarterly statements reporting funds held and transactions by the Fiscal Agent.

Section 7.04. Notice to Fiscal Agent. The Fiscal Agent may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any Officer’s Certificate, notice, resolution, request, consent, order, certificate, report, facsimile transmission, electronic mail, warrant, Bond or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or proper parties and given in accordance with the requirements hereof. The Fiscal Agent may execute any of the powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys and the Fiscal Agent shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder. The Fiscal Agent may consult with counsel, who may be counsel to the City, with regard to legal questions, and the opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance therewith.

The Fiscal Agent shall have the right to accept and act upon instructions, including funds transfer instructions (“Instructions”) given pursuant to this Agreement and delivered using Electronic Means by an Authorized Officer (or his or her designee) (“Electronic Means” shall mean the following communications methods: e-mail, facsimile transmission, secure electronic transmission containing applicable authorization codes, passwords and/or authentication keys issued by the Fiscal Agent, or another method or system specified by the Fiscal Agent as available for use in connection with its services hereunder); provided, however, that the City shall provide to the Fiscal Agent an incumbency certificate for each person with the authority to provide such Instructions and containing specimen signatures of such persons, which incumbency certificate shall be amended by the City whenever a person is to be added or deleted from the listing. If the City elects to give the Fiscal Agent Instructions using Electronic Means and the Fiscal Agent in its discretion elects to act upon such Instructions, the Fiscal Agent’s understanding of such Instructions shall be deemed controlling. The City understands and agrees that the Fiscal Agent cannot determine the identity of the actual sender of such Instructions and that the Fiscal Agent shall conclusively presume that directions that purport to have been sent by an Authorized Officer (or designee) listed on the incumbency certificate provided to the Fiscal Agent have been sent by such Authorized Officer (or designee). The City shall be responsible for ensuring that only Authorized Officers (or their designees) transmit such Instructions to the Fiscal Agent and that the City is solely responsible to safeguard the use and confidentiality of applicable user and authorization codes, passwords and/or authentication keys upon receipt by the City. The Fiscal Agent shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the 40 Fiscal Agent’s reliance upon and compliance with such Instructions notwithstanding such directions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. The City agrees: (i) to assume all risks arising out of the use of Electronic Means to submit Instructions to the Fiscal Agent, including without limitation the risk of the Fiscal Agent acting on unauthorized Instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties; (ii) that it is fully informed of the protections and risks associated with the various methods of transmitting Instructions to the Fiscal Agent and that there may be more secure methods of transmitting Instructions than the method(s) selected by the City; (iii) that the security procedures (if any) to be followed in connection with its transmission of Instructions provide to it a commercially reasonable degree of protection in light of its particular needs and circumstances; and (iv) to notify the Fiscal Agent immediately upon learning of any compromise or unauthorized use of the security procedures.

The Fiscal Agent shall not be bound to recognize any person as the Owner of a Bond unless and until such Bond is submitted for inspection, if required, and his title thereto satisfactorily established, if disputed.

Whenever in the administration of its duties under this Agreement the Fiscal Agent shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or suffering any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of willful misconduct on the part of the Fiscal Agent, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by a certificate of the City, and such certificate shall be full warrant to the Fiscal Agent for any action taken or suffered under the provisions of this Agreement or any Supplemental Agreement upon the faith thereof, but in its discretion the Fiscal Agent may, in lieu thereof, accept other evidence of such matter or may require such additional evidence as to it may seem reasonable.

Section 7.05. Compensation, Indemnification. The City shall pay to the Fiscal Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for all services rendered as Fiscal Agent under this Agreement, and also all reasonable expenses, charges, counsel fees and other disbursements, including those of their attorneys, agents and employees, incurred in and about the performance of their powers and duties under this Agreement, but the Fiscal Agent shall not have a lien therefor on any funds at any time held by it under this Agreement. The City further agrees, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to indemnify and save the Fiscal Agent, its officers, employees, directors and agents harmless against any costs, claims, expenses or liabilities, including, without limitation, fees and expenses of its attorneys which it may incur in the exercise and performance of its powers and duties hereunder which are not due to its negligence or willful misconduct. The obligation of the City under this Section shall survive resignation or removal of the Fiscal Agent under this Agreement and payment of the Bonds and discharge of this Agreement.
41 ARTICLE VIII

MODIFICATION OR AMENDMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT
Section 8.01. Amendments Permitted. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the City and of the Owners of the Bonds may be modified or amended at any time by a Supplemental Agreement pursuant to the affirmative vote at a meeting of Owners, or with the written consent without a meeting, of the Owners of at least 60% in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding, exclusive of Bonds disqualified as provided in Section 8.04. No such modification or amendment shall, with respect to Bonds then Outstanding, (i) extend the maturity of any Bond or reduce the interest rate thereon, or otherwise alter or impair the obligation of the City to pay the principal of, and the interest and any premium on, any Bond, without the express consent of the Owner of such Bond, or (ii) permit the creation by the City of any pledge or lien upon the Special Taxes superior to or on a parity with the pledge and lien created for the benefit of the Bonds (except as otherwise permitted by the Act, the laws of the State of California or this Agreement), or reduce the percentage of Bonds required for the amendment hereof. No such amendment may modify any of the rights or obligations of the Fiscal Agent without its written consent.

This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the City and of the Owners may also be modified or amended at any time by a Supplemental Agreement, without the consent of any Owners, only to the extent permitted by law and only for any one or more of the following purposes:
(A) to add to the covenants and agreements of the City in this Agreement contained, other covenants and agreements thereafter to be observed, or to limit or surrender any right or power herein reserved to or conferred upon the City; (B) to make modifications not adversely affecting any outstanding series of Bonds in any material respect, including to effectuate the issuance of Additional Bonds in accordance with Section 5.17;
(C) to make such provisions for the purpose of curing any ambiguity, or of curing, correcting or supplementing any defective provision contained in this Agreement, or in regard to questions arising under this Agreement, as the City and the Fiscal Agent may deem necessary or desirable, and which shall not adversely affect the rights of the Owners of the Bonds; or
(D) to make such additions, deletions or modifications as may be necessary or desirable to assure compliance with Section 148 of the Code relating to required rebate of excess investment earnings to the United States or otherwise as may be necessary to assure exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of interest on the Bonds or to conform with the Regulations.

No such amendment may modify any of the rights or obligations of the Fiscal Agent without its written consent.

Section 8.02. Owners’ Meetings. The City may at any time call a meeting of the Owners.

In such event the City is authorized to fix the time and place of said meeting and to provide for the giving of notice thereof and to fix and adopt rules and regulations for the conduct of said meeting.
42 Section 8.03. Procedure for Amendment with Written Consent of Owners. The City and the Fiscal Agent may at any time enter into a Supplemental Agreement amending the provisions of the Bonds or of this Agreement or any Supplemental Agreement, to the extent that such amendment is permitted by Section 8.01, to take effect when and as provided in this Section. A copy of such Supplemental Agreement, together with a request to Owners for their consent thereto, if such consent is required under Section 8.01, shall be mailed by first class mail, by the Fiscal Agent to each Owner of Bonds Outstanding, but failure to mail copies of such Supplemental Agreement and request shall not affect the validity of the Supplemental Agreement when assented to as in this Section provided.

If consent of the Owners is required under Section 8.01, such Supplemental Agreement shall not become effective unless there shall be filed with the Fiscal Agent the written consents of the Owners of at least 60% in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding (exclusive of Bonds disqualified as provided in Section 8.04) and a notice shall have been mailed as hereinafter in this Section provided. Each such consent shall be effective only if accompanied by proof of ownership of the Bonds for which such consent is given, which proof shall be such as is permitted by Section 9.04. Any such consent shall be binding upon the Owner of the Bonds giving such consent and on any subsequent Owner (whether or not such subsequent Owner has notice thereof) unless such consent is revoked in writing by the Owner giving such consent or a subsequent Owner by filing such revocation with the Fiscal Agent prior to the date when the notice hereinafter in this Section provided for has been mailed.

After the Owners of the required percentage of Bonds shall have filed their consents to the Supplemental Agreement, the City shall mail a notice to the Owners in the manner hereinbefore provided in this Section for the mailing of the Supplemental Agreement, stating in substance that the Supplemental Agreement has been consented to by the Owners of the required percentage of Bonds and will be effective as provided in this Section (but failure to mail copies of said notice shall not affect the validity of the Supplemental Agreement or consents thereto). Proof of the mailing of such notice shall be filed with the Fiscal Agent. A record, consisting of the papers required by this Section 8.03 to be filed with the Fiscal Agent, shall be proof of the matters therein stated until the contrary is proved. The Supplemental Agreement shall become effective upon the filing with the Fiscal Agent of the proof of mailing of such notice, and the Supplemental Agreement shall be deemed conclusively binding (except as otherwise herein above specifically provided in this Article) upon the City and the Owners of all Bonds at the expiration of 60 days after such filing, except in the event of a final decree of a court of competent jurisdiction setting aside such consent in a legal action or equitable proceeding for such purpose commenced within such sixty-day period.

Section 8.04. Disqualified Bonds. Bonds actually known by an officer of the Fiscal Agent to be owned or held for the account of the City, excepting any pension or retirement fund, shall not be deemed Outstanding for the purpose of any vote, consent or other action or any calculation of Outstanding Bonds provided for in this Article VIII, and shall not be entitled to vote upon, consent to, or take any other action provided for in this Article VIII. The City shall provide an Officer’s Certificate to the Fiscal Agent listing those Bonds which are disqualified pursuant to this Section 8.04.

Section 8.05. Effect of Supplemental Agreement. From and after the time any Supplemental Agreement becomes effective pursuant to this Article VIII, this Agreement shall be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith, the respective rights, duties and obligations under this Agreement of the City and all Owners of Bonds Outstanding shall 43 thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all respects to such modifications and amendments, and all the terms and conditions of any such Supplemental Agreement shall be deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of this Agreement for any and all purposes.

Section 8.06. Endorsement or Replacement of Bonds Issued After Amendments. The City may determine that Bonds issued and delivered after the effective date of any action taken as provided in this Article VIII shall bear a notation, by endorsement or otherwise, in form approved by the City, as to such action. In that case, upon demand of the Owner of any Bond Outstanding at such effective date and presentation of his Bond for that purpose at the Principal Office of the Fiscal Agent or at such other office as the City may select and designate for that purpose, a suitable notation shall be made on such Bond. The City may determine that new Bonds, so modified as in the opinion of the City is necessary to conform to such Owners’ action, shall be prepared, executed and delivered. In that case, upon demand of the Owner of any Bonds then Outstanding, such new Bonds shall be exchanged at the Principal Office of the Fiscal Agent without cost to any Owner, for Bonds then Outstanding, upon surrender of such Bonds.

Section 8.07. Amendatory Endorsement of Bonds. The provisions of this Article VIII shall not prevent any Owner from accepting any amendment as to the particular Bonds held by him, provided that due notation thereof is made on such Bonds.

Section 8.08. Opinion of Counsel Regarding Supplemental Agreement. The Fiscal Agent shall be furnished, upon request, an opinion of counsel that any Supplemental Agreement entered into by the City and the Fiscal Agent complies with the provisions of this Article VIII, and the Fiscal Agent may conclusively rely upon such opinion. 44 ARTICLE IX

The principal of this Bond is payable to the Owner hereof in lawful money of the United States of America upon presentation and surrender of this Bond at the principal corporate trust office of U.S. Bank Trust Company, N.A. in San Francisco, California (the “Fiscal Agent”). Interest on this Bond shall be paid by check of the Fiscal Agent mailed by first class mail on each Interest Payment Date to the Owner hereof as of the close of business on the 15th day of the month preceding the month in which the Interest Payment Date occurs whether or not such day is a Business Day (the “Record Date”) at such Owner’s address as it appears on the registration books maintained by the Fiscal Agent, or by wire transfer made on such Interest Payment Date upon written instructions delivered to the Fiscal Agent by the applicable Record Date of any Owner of $1,000,000 or more in aggregate principal amount of Bonds.

The issuance of the Bonds and the terms and conditions thereof are provided for by a Fiscal Agent Agreement, dated as of ______________ 1, 2024, by and between the City and the Fiscal Agent (the “Agreement”) and this reference incorporates the Agreement herein, and by acceptance hereof the Owner of this Bond assents to said terms and conditions.

Any tax for the payment hereof shall be limited to the Special Tax, except to the extent that provision for payment has been made by the City as may be permitted by law. The Bonds do not constitute obligations of the City for which the City is obligated to levy or pledge, or has levied or pledged, general or special taxation other than described herein above.

The Bonds are subject to optional redemption from any source of available funds (other than Prepayments of the Special Tax by property owners), in whole or in part among maturities as specified by the City and by lot within a maturity, on any date on and after September 1, _____ at the following respective redemption prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount of the Bonds to be redeemed), plus accrued interest thereon to the date of redemption:

This Bond shall be registered in the name of the Owner hereof, as to both principal and interest.

No transfer or exchange hereof shall be valid for any purpose unless made by the registered owner, by execution of the form of assignment endorsed hereon, and authenticated as herein provided, and the principal hereof, interest hereon and any redemption premium shall be payable only to the registered owner or to such Owner’s order. The Fiscal Agent shall require the Owner requesting transfer or exchange to pay any tax or other governmental charge required to be paid with respect to such transfer or exchange. No transfer or exchange hereof shall be required to be made (i) within 15 days prior to the date established by the Fiscal Agent for selection of Bonds for redemption or (ii) with respect to a Bond after such Bond has been selected for redemption.

The Agreement and the rights and obligations of the City thereunder may be modified or amended as set forth therein. The principal of the Bonds is not subject to acceleration upon a default under the Agreement or any other document. This Bond shall not become valid or obligatory for any purpose until the certificate of authentication hereon endorsed shall have been dated and manually signed by the Fiscal Agent. It is hereby certified, recited and declared that all acts, conditions and things required by law to exist, happen and be performed precedent to and in the issuance of this Bond have existed, happened and been performed in due time, form and manner as required by law, and that the amount of this Bond, together with all other indebtedness of the City, does not exceed any debt limit prescribed by the laws or Constitution of the State of California.

Unless this Bond is presented by an authorized representative of The Depository Trust Company to the Fiscal Agent for registration of transfer, exchange or payment, and any Bond issued is registered in the name of Cede & Co. or such other name as requested by an authorized representative of The Depository Trust Company and any payment is made to Cede & Co., ANY

TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL since the registered owner hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest herein.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the City of Roseville has caused this Bond to be executed by the facsimile signatures of the Mayor and the City Clerk of the City, all as of the Bond Date stated above.

The City hereby ratifies the use by the Underwriter of the Preliminary Official Statement and authorizes the Underwriter to use and distribute the final Official Statement dated the date hereof (including all information previously permitted to have been omitted by Rule 15c2-12, and any supplements and amendments thereto as have been approved by the City as evidenced by the execution and delivery of such document by an officer of the City (the “Official Statement”), the Fiscal Agent Agreement, the Continuing Disclosure Certificate of the City (the “City Disclosure Certificate”), this Purchase Agreement and any other documents or contracts to which the City or the District is a party related to the Bonds, and all information contained therein, and all other documents, certificates and statements furnished by the City to the Underwriter in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Purchase Agreement, in connection with the offer and sale of the Bonds by the Underwriter. The Underwriter hereby agrees to deliver a copy of the Official Statement to the Municipal Securities Rulemaking City Council (the “MSRB”) through the Electronic Municipal Marketplace Access website of the MSRB on or before the Closing Date and otherwise to comply with all applicable statutes and regulations in connection with the offering and sale of the Bonds, including, without limitation, MSRB Rule G-32 and Rule 15c2-12. 3 4881-0553-3898v2/024667-0121
(e) At 8:00 A.M., Pacific Daylight Time, on August __, 2024, 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 in New York, New York, 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, A Professional Law Corporation, 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 their 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 Final Official Statement (as defined herein) 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 Final 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, Hilltop Securities 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 4 4881-0553-3898v2/024667-0121
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-theoffering-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 thirdparty 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
5 4881-0553-3898v2/024667-0121
(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 6 4881-0553-3898v2/024667-0121
(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. Representations, Warranties and Agreements of the City. The City represents, warrants and covenants to and agrees with the Underwriter that:
(a) The City is a municipal corporation and charter city duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of California (the “State”) and has duly authorized the formation of the District and the designation of Improvement Area No. 1 therein, pursuant to the Resolution of Formation and the Law. The City Council, as the legislative body of the District, has duly adopted the District Resolutions, and has caused to be recorded in the real property records of Placer County a Notice of Special Tax Lien (the “Notice of Special Tax Lien”) (such District Resolutions and Notice of Special Tax Lien being collectively referred to herein as the “Formation Documents”).

Each of the Formation Documents remains in full force and effect as of the date hereof and has not been amended. The District is duly organized and validly existing as a community facilities district under the laws of the State of California and Improvement Area No. 1 therein has been properly designated. The City has, and at the Closing Date will have, as the case may be, full legal right, power and authority (i) to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Purchase Agreement and the City Disclosure Certificate, and to carry out all transactions on its part contemplated by each of such agreements, (ii) to issue, sell and deliver the Bonds to the Underwriter pursuant to the Resolution of Issuance and the Fiscal Agent Agreement as provided herein, and (iii) to carry out, give effect to and consummate the transactions on its part contemplated by the Formation Documents and by the Fiscal Agent Agreement, this Purchase Agreement, and the City Disclosure Certificate (collectively, the “District Documents”) and the Official Statement. (b) The City has complied, and will at the Closing Date be in compliance, in all material respects, with the Formation Documents and the District Documents, and any immaterial compliance by the City, if any, will not impair the ability of the City to carry out, give effect to or consummate the transactions on its part contemplated by the foregoing. From and after the date of issuance of the Bonds, the City will continue to comply with the covenants of the City contained in the District Documents that are applicable to such time period. (c) The City Council has duly and validly: (i) adopted the District Resolutions, (ii) called, held and conducted in accordance with all requirements of the Law, elections within the 7 4881-0553-3898v2/024667-0121
District to approve the levy of the Special Tax within Improvement Area No. 1 of the District and the issuance of the Bonds and recorded the Notice of Special Tax Lien which established a continuing lien on the land within Improvement Area No. 1 of the District securing the payment of the Special Tax, (iii) authorized and approved the execution, delivery and due performance by the City for the District of the Bonds and the District Documents, (iv) authorized the preparation, delivery and distribution of the Preliminary Official Statement and the Official Statement, and (v) authorized and approved the performance by the City of its obligations contained in, and the taking of any and all action as may be necessary to carry out, give effect to and consummate the transactions on its part contemplated by, each of the District Documents (including, without limitation, the collection of the Special Tax), the Bonds and the Official Statement and at the Closing Date, the Formation Documents will be in full force and effect and the District Documents and the Bonds will constitute the valid, legal and binding obligations of the City for the District and (assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by other parties thereto, where necessary) will be enforceable upon the City in accordance with their respective terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights in general and to the application of equitable principles if equitable remedies are sought. (d) To the best of the City’s knowledge, neither the District nor the City is in breach of or default under any applicable law or administrative rule or regulation of the State or the United States, or of any department, division, agency or instrumentality thereof, or under any applicable court or administrative decree or order, or under any loan agreement, note, resolution, trust agreement, contract, agreement or other instrument to which the District or the City is a party or is otherwise subject or bound, a consequence of which would be to materially and adversely affect the performance by the District or the City of their obligations under the Bonds, the Formation Documents or the District Documents, and compliance with the provisions of each thereof will not conflict with or constitute a breach of or default under any applicable law or administrative rule or regulation of the State or the United States, or of any department, division, agency or instrumentality thereof, or under any applicable court or administrative decree or order, or a material breach of or default under any loan agreement, note, resolution, trust agreement, contract, agreement or other instrument to which the District or the City, as the case may be, is a party or is otherwise subject or bound.
(e) Except for compliance with the blue sky or other states securities law filings, as to which the City makes no representations, all approvals, consents, authorizations, elections and orders of or filings or registrations with any State governmental authority, board, agency or commission having jurisdiction which would constitute a condition precedent to, or the absence of which would materially adversely affect, the performance by the City of its obligations hereunder, or under the Formation Documents or the District Documents, have been obtained and are in full force and effect.
(f) The Special Tax constituting the security for the Bonds has been duly and lawfully authorized and may be levied under the Law, the State Constitution and the applicable laws of the State, and the Special Tax, when levied, will constitute a valid and legally binding continuing lien on the properties on which it has been levied.
(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 8 4881-0553-3898v2/024667-0121
may be necessary to supplement the Official Statement in order to make the statements in the Official 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. As used herein, the term “end of the underwriting period” means the later of such time as (i) the City delivers the Bonds to the Underwriter, or (ii) the Underwriter does not retain, directly or as a member of an underwriting syndicate, an unsold balance of the Bonds for sale to the public. Unless the Underwriter gives notice to the contrary, the “end of the underwriting period” shall be deemed to be the Closing Date. Any notice delivered pursuant to this provision shall be written notice delivered to the City at or prior to the Closing Date, and shall specify a date (other than the Closing Date) to be deemed the “end of the underwriting period.”
(h) The Fiscal Agent Agreement creates a valid pledge of the Special Tax Revenues (as defined in the Fiscal Agent Agreement) and the moneys deposited in the Bond Fund and the Reserve Fund established pursuant to the Fiscal Agent Agreement, including the investments thereof, subject in all cases to the provisions of the Fiscal Agent Agreement permitting the application thereof for the purposes and on the terms and conditions set forth therein. 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 9 4881-0553-3898v2/024667-0121
securities laws and regulations of such states and other jurisdictions of the United States as the 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. (k) Any certificate signed by any official of the City authorized to do so and delivered to the Underwriter in connection with the Bonds or this Purchase Agreement shall be deemed a representation and warranty to the Underwriter as to the statements made therein. (l) The City will apply the proceeds of the Bonds in accordance with the Fiscal Agent Agreement as described in the Official Statement. (m) The information contained in the Preliminary Official Statement (other than under the captions “THE AMORUSO RANCH DEVELOPMENT,” “THE MASTER DEVELOPER,” “MERCHANT BUILDER INFORMATION,” and “CONTINUING DISCLOSURE—The Merchant Builders,” as to which no view is expressed) was as of the date thereof, and the information contained in the Official Statement (other than under the captions “THE AMORUSO RANCH DEVELOPMENT,” “THE MASTER DEVELOPER,” “MERCHANT BUILDER INFORMATION,” and “CONTINUING DISCLOSURE—The Merchant Builders,” as to which no view is expressed) as of its date and on the Closing Date shall be, true and correct in all material respects and such information does not and shall not contain any untrue or misleading statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. (n) The Preliminary Official Statement heretofore delivered to the Underwriter has been deemed final by the City as of its date, except for the omission of such information as is permitted to be omitted in accordance with paragraph (b)(1) of Rule 15c2-12. 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, G-32 and G-36 of the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board.
(o) Except as otherwise disclosed in the Preliminary Official Statement, the City is, and has always been, in material compliance with respect to all reporting obligations in the last five years that it has undertaken under Rule 15c2-12 for all indebtedness issued by the City.

(q) The City shall not voluntarily undertake any course of action inconsistent with satisfaction of the requirements applicable to the City as set forth in this Purchase Agreement. (r) The City shall cooperate with the Underwriter in the qualification of the Bonds for offering and sale and the determination of their eligibility for investment under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Underwriter may designate.
(s) The City shall not knowingly take or omit to take any action that, under existing law, may adversely affect the exemption from state income taxation or the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of the interest on the Bonds. 10 4881-0553-3898v2/024667-0121

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 Master Developer, its Affiliates, ownership of the property within Improvement Area No. 1 of the District (the “Property”), the Master Developer’s development plan for the Amoruso Ranch project, the Master Developer’s financing plan, the Master Developer’s lenders, if any, and contractual arrangements of the Master Developer or any Affiliate of the Master Developer (including, if material to the Master Developer’s development plan or the Master Developer’s financing plan, other loans of such Affiliates) as set forth under the captions entitled “THE AMORUSO RANCH DEVELOPMENT,” “THE MASTER DEVELOPER,” “VALUE OF PROPERTY WITHIN IMPROVEMENT AREA NO. 1—Value to Special Tax Burden Ratios,” and “SPECIAL RISK FACTORS—Property Values and Property Development—Endangered and Threatened Species (excluding therefrom, in each case, information which is identified as having been provided by a source other than the Master 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.

5. The Master Developer covenants that, while the Bonds or any refunding obligations related thereto are outstanding, the Master Developer and its Affiliates 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, including Improvement Area No. 1 herein, 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 Master Developer or any Affiliate in any way from bringing any other action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation, at law or in 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.

D-3
4881-0553-3898v2/024667-0121
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 Rate, Method of Apportionment, and Manner of Collection of Special Tax 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 Master Developer or its Affiliates, the City, and/or the District or to which the Master Developer or its Affiliates is a party or beneficiary (including, but not limited to, the Fiscal Agent Agreement).

6. 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.

7. 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 Master Developer, and except as disclosed in the Preliminary Official Statement including in the sections entitled “THE AMORUSO RANCH DEVELOPMENT” and “THE MASTER DEVELOPER,” to the Actual Knowledge of the Undersigned, the Master Developer currently expects that it will have sufficient funds and/or sources of funds to develop the Amoruso Ranch project as described in the Preliminary Official Statement.

The Master Developer reserves the right to change its development plan and financing plan for the Amoruso Ranch project at any time without notice.

8. Solely as to the limited information described in Paragraph 4 above (and subject to the limitations and exclusions set forth in Paragraph 4), the Master 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 Master Developer of a material fact contained in the information described in Paragraph 4 above (and subject to the limitations and exclusions set forth in Paragraph 4), as of the date of the Preliminary Official Statement, or the omission by the Master Developer to state in the Preliminary Official Statement, as of its date, a material fact necessary to make the statements made by the Master 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 Master Developer may otherwise have to any Indemnified Party, provided that in no event shall the Master Developer be obligated for double indemnification. Further, in no event shall the Master 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 Master Developer in writing; provided that the failure to notify the Master 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 D-4
4881-0553-3898v2/024667-0121
failure; and provided, further, that the failure to notify the Master 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 Master Developer thereof, the Master Developer shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party (who may be counsel to the Master 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 Master Developer and the Indemnified Party shall have mutually agreed to the contrary; (ii) the Master Developer has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; (iii) the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the Master 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 Master 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 Master 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 Master Developer shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent. The Master 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.

9. If, between the date hereof and the Closing Date, to the Actual Knowledge of the Undersigned, any event relating to or affecting the Master Developer, its Affiliates, ownership of the Property, the Master Developer’s development plan, the Master Developer’s financing plan, the Master Developer’s lenders, if any, and contractual arrangements of the Master Developer or any Affiliate of the Master Developer (including, if material to the Master Developer’s development plan or the Master Developer’s financing plan, other loans of such Affiliates) shall occur which the undersigned believe would cause the information under the sections of the Preliminary Official Statement indicated in Paragraph 4 hereof (and subject to the limitations and exclusions set forth in Paragraph 4), 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 Master 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.

Re: $__________ City of Roseville Amoruso Ranch Community Facilities District No. 1 (Public Facilities), Improvement Area No. 1, Special Tax Bonds, Series 2024
Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special counsel to Brookfield Sacramento Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Master Developer”), in connection with the development of Improvement Area No. 1 of the City of Roseville Amoruso Ranch Community Facilities District No. 1 (Public Facilities) (the “District”) and in connection with the issuance by the District of the City of Roseville Amoruso Ranch Community Facilities District No. 1 (Public Facilities), Improvement Area No. 1, Special Tax Bonds, Series 2024 (the “Bonds”). The Bonds are described in that certain Official Statement dated ______, 2024 (the “Official Statement”).

The Bonds are being sold to Piper Sandler & Co., as underwriter (the “Underwriter”), pursuant to that certain Bond Purchase Agreement, dated _____, 2024 (the “Bond Purchase Agreement”), by and between the Underwriter and the City of Roseville (the “City”) on behalf of the District. This letter is provided for the benefit of the District and the Underwriter pursuant to Section 4(d)(12) of the Bond Purchase Agreement.

We advise you that we are not general counsel to the Master Developer and do not represent the Master Developer on a continuing basis. Rather, we represent the Master Developer as requested from time to time on specific matters.

The primary purpose of our professional engagement was not to establish or confirm factual matters or quantitative information. We are not passing upon and do not assume any responsibility F-2
4881-0553-3898v2/024667-0121
for the accuracy, completeness, or fairness of any of the statements contained in the Official Statement and make no representation that we have independently verified the accuracy, completeness, or fairness of any such statements. However, in our capacity as special counsel to the Master Developer, we reviewed those sections of the Official Statement described below and we participated in conferences with representatives of the Master Developer, the Underwriter, Jones Hall, as Bond and Disclosure Counsel, Stradling Yocca Carlson & Rauth LLP, as Underwriter's Counsel, and others, during which conferences the contents of the Official Statement and related matters were discussed. We have reviewed only the electronic version of the Official Statement delivered to Robert M. Haight, Jr. ([email protected]) on __________, 2024, from _________ (the “Official Electronic Version”), and we assume that any printed version and all other electronic versions of the Official Statement are identical in all respects to such Official Electronic Version. Our statements herein with respect to the Official Statement do not pertain to any printed or electronic version of the Official Statement that is not identical in all respects to the Official Electronic Version. We also reviewed certain written statements of officers and other representatives of the Master Developer and others as to the existence and consequence of certain factual and other matters.

Based on our participation, review, and reliance as described above, we advise you that no information came to the attention of the lawyers in our firm rendering legal services in connection with such representation that caused us to believe that, as of the date of the Official Statement and as of the date hereof, the statements contained in the Official Statement relating to the Master Developer and its Affiliates (as defined in the Letter of Representations of Brookfield Sacramento Holdings LLC, dated _____, 2024), ownership of the property within Improvement Area No. 1 of the District, the Master Developer’s development plan, the Master Developer’s financing plan, the Master Developer’s lenders, if any, and contractual arrangements of the Master Developer or any Affiliate of the Master Developer (including, if material to the Master Developer’s development plan or the Master Developer’s financing plan, other loans of such Affiliates) as set forth under the captions entitled “THE AMORUSO RANCH DEVELOPMENT,” “THE MASTER DEVELOPER,” “VALUE OF PROPERTY WITHIN IMPROVEMENT AREA NO. 1—Value to Special Tax Burden Ratios,” and “SPECIAL RISK FACTORS—Property Values and Property Development— Endangered and Threatened Species (but, under all captions, excluding any information cited as coming from a source other than the Master Developer, and excluding any information regarding any appraisal, any absorption study, and market value ratio and annual special tax ratio, and except that no belief or view is expressed as to (a) any financial statements and other financial, statistical, economic, demographic, or engineering data or forecasts, numbers, charts, tables, graphs, estimates, projections, assumptions, or expressions of opinion, or (b) any information about valuation, appraisals, market absorption, archaeological, or environmental matters), contained or contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. For purposes of this paragraph, “attention” refers to the conscious awareness of each of the lawyers in our firm who actively participated in rendering legal services in connection with such representation and “believe” refers to the actual, subjective, good faith belief of each of those lawyers. Please be advised that only Robert M. Haight, Jr. has rendered such legal services in connection with such representation.

We express no view or belief as to the applicability or effect on the subject transaction of the securities laws of the State of California or of the United States of America, including but not limited to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

F-3
4881-0553-3898v2/024667-0121
No attorney-client relationship has existed or exists between our firm and the City, the District, or the Underwriter in connection with the Bonds or by virtue of this letter. This letter is delivered as of the date hereof and is furnished solely for the benefit of the addressees in connection with the subject transaction and may not be relied upon for any other purpose or furnished to, used, circulated, quoted, or referred to by any other person without our prior written consent. This letter is not intended to, and may not, be relied upon by any owners of the Bonds.

Our engagement with respect to this matter has terminated as of the date hereof, and we do not undertake to advise you of any matters that may come to our attention subsequent to the date hereof that may affect the statements set forth herein.

This letter is limited to the matters expressly set forth herein, and no belief or assurance is implied or may be inferred beyond the matters expressly stated herein.

4. Except as disclosed in the Preliminary Official Statement, to the Actual Knowledge of the Undersigned,1 (a) the Builder and its Relevant Entities2 are not in breach of or in default under 1 “Actual Knowledge of the Undersigned” means the knowledge that the individuals signing on behalf of the Builder currently have as of the date of this Letter of Representations or have obtained through: (i) interviews with such current officers and responsible employees of the Builder and its Relevant Entities as the undersigned have 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 have reasonably deemed necessary in order for the undersigned to obtain knowledge of the matters that are set forth in this Letter of G-2

any applicable judgment or decree or any loan agreement, option agreement, development agreement, indenture, bond, or note (collectively, the “Material Agreements”) to which the Builder or its Relevant Entities are a party or otherwise subject, which breach or default could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the Builder’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 Builder) 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 Builder or its Relevant Entities that is secured by an interest in the Property. To the Actual Knowledge of the Undersigned, neither the Builder 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 Builder’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 Builder) prior to delinquency.

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 Builder (with proper service of process to the Builder having been accomplished) or, to the Actual Knowledge of the Undersigned, is pending against any Relevant Entity of the Builder (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 Builder or any such Relevant Entity which, if successful, is reasonably likely to materially and adversely affect the Builder’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 Builder) 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 Builder, its Relevant Entities, ownership of the Property, the Builder’s development plan, the Builder’s financing plan, the Builder’s lenders, if any, and contractual arrangements of the Builder or any Relevant Entity of the Builder (including, if material to the Builder’s development plan or the Builder’s financing plan, other loans of such Relevant Entities) as set forth under the captions Representations. The undersigned have not conducted any extraordinary inspection or inquiry other than such inspections or inquiries as are prudent and customary in connection with the ordinary course of the Builder’s current business and operations.

Officers and employees no longer working for the Builder or its Relevant Entities have not been contacted. 2 “Relevant Entities” means, with respect to the Builder, any other Person: (i) who directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, is currently controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Builder; 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 Builder’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 Builder) prior to delinquency; or (b) such Person’s assets or funds that would materially affect the Builder’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 Builder) 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.

entitled “MERCHANT BUILDER INFORMATION—Richmond American” and “CONTINUING DISCLOSURE—The Merchant Builders—Richmond American Continuing Disclosure Compliance” (excluding therefrom, in each case, information which is identified as having been provided by a source other than the Builder), 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 Builder covenants that, while the Bonds or any refunding obligations related thereto are outstanding, the Builder 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 Builder 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 Rate, Method of Apportionment, and Manner of Collection of Special Tax 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 Builder or its Relevant Entities, the City, and/or the District or to which the Builder 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 Builder 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 Builder 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 Builder.

11. The Builder 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 Builder is able to pay its bills as they become due and no legal proceedings are pending against the Builder (with proper service of process to the Builder having been accomplished) or, to the Actual Knowledge of the Undersigned, overtly threatened in writing in which the Builder 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, G-4
4881-0553-3898v2/024667-0121
or be allowed to reorganize or readjust its debts, or be subject to control or supervision of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

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 Builder, and except as disclosed in the Preliminary Official Statement including in the sections entitled “MERCHANT BUILDER INFORMATION—Richmond American,” the Builder 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 Builder) prior to delinquency. However, neither the Builder nor its Relevant Entities are obligated to make any additional capital contribution or loan to the Builder at any time, and the Builder 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 Builder 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 Builder 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 Builder 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 Builder to state in the Preliminary Official Statement, as of its date, a material fact necessary to make the statements made by the Builder 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 Builder may otherwise have to any Indemnified Party, provided that in no event shall the Builder be obligated for double indemnification. Further, in no event shall the Builder’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 Builder in writing; provided that the failure to notify the Builder 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 Builder 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 Builder thereof, the Builder shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party (who may be counsel to the Builder) 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 Builder and the Indemnified Party shall have mutually agreed to the contrary; (ii) the Builder has failed within a reasonable time G-5
4881-0553-3898v2/024667-0121
to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; (iii) the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the Builder 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 Builder 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 Builder 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 Builder shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent. The Builder 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 Builder, its Relevant Entities, ownership of the Property, the Builder’s development plan, the Builder’s financing plan, the Builder’s lenders, if any, and contractual arrangements of the Builder or any Relevant Entity of the Builder (including, if material to the Builder’s development plan or the Builder’s financing plan, other 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 Builder 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 Builder, the undersigned has reviewed the contents of this Certificate and has met with counsel to the Builder 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 Builder and he or she will have no personal liability arising from or relating to this Letter of Representations.

Horton CA2, Inc.. a California corporation (the “Builder”), hereby represents, warrants and covenants to the City, the District and the Underwriter as of the date hereof as set forth herein. Unless otherwise indicated, capitalized terms used herein and not defined have the meaning given to them in the Bond Purchase Agreement.

1. The Builder is duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of California and has all requisite right, power, and authority to: (i) execute and deliver this Letter of Representations of D.R.

3. The Builder has, or will have prior to the Closing, duly authorized the execution and delivery of the Builder Continuing Disclosure Certificate at the Closing and the performance by the Builder of its obligations thereunder.

4. Except as disclosed in the Preliminary Official Statement, to the Actual Knowledge of the Undersigned,1 (a) the Builder and its Relevant Entities2 are not in breach of or in default under 1 “Actual Knowledge of the Undersigned” means the knowledge that the individuals signing on behalf of the Builder currently have as of the date of this Letter of Representations or have obtained through: (i) interviews with such current officers and responsible employees of the Builder and its Relevant Entities as the undersigned have 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 have reasonably deemed necessary in order for the undersigned to obtain knowledge of the matters that are set forth in this Letter of Representations.

any applicable judgment or decree or any loan agreement, option agreement, development agreement, indenture, bond, or note (collectively, the “Material Agreements”) to which the Builder or its Relevant Entities are a party or otherwise subject, which breach or default could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the Builder’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 Builder) 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 Builder or its Relevant Entities that is secured by an interest in the Property. To the Actual Knowledge of the Undersigned, neither the Builder 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 Builder’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 Builder) 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 Builder (with proper service of process to the Builder having been accomplished) or, to the Actual Knowledge of the Undersigned, is pending against any Relevant Entity of the Builder (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 Builder or any such Relevant Entity which, if successful, is reasonably likely to materially and adversely affect the Builder’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 Builder) 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 Builder, its Relevant Entities, ownership of the Property, the Builder’s development plan, the Builder’s financing plan, the Builder’s lenders, if any, and contractual arrangements of the Builder or any Relevant Entity of the Builder (including, if material to the Builder’s development plan or the Builder’s financing plan, other loans of such Relevant Entities) as set forth under the captions entitled “MERCHANT BUILDER INFORMATION—D.R. Horton” and “CONTINUING DISCLOSURE—The Merchant Builders—D.R. Horton Continuing Disclosure Compliance” (excluding therefrom, in each case, information which is identified as having been provided by a 2 “Relevant Entities” means, with respect to the Builder, any other Person: (i) who directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, is currently controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Builder; 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 Builder’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 Builder) prior to delinquency; or (b) such Person’s assets or funds that would materially affect the Builder’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 Builder) 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.

source other than the Builder), 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 Builder covenants that, while the Bonds or any refunding obligations related thereto are outstanding, the Builder 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 Builder 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 Rate, Method of Apportionment, and Manner of Collection of Special Tax 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 Builder or its Relevant Entities, the City, and/or the District or to which the Builder 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 Builder 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 Builder 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 Builder.

11. The Builder 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 Builder is able to pay its bills as they become due and no legal proceedings are pending against the Builder (with proper service of process to the Builder having been accomplished) or, to the Actual Knowledge of the Undersigned, overtly threatened in writing in which the Builder 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.

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 Builder, and except as disclosed in the Preliminary Official Statement including in the sections entitled “MERCHANT BUILDER INFORMATION—D.R. Horton,” the Builder 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 Builder) prior to delinquency. However, neither the Builder nor its Relevant Entities are obligated to make any additional capital contribution or loan to the Builder at any time, and the Builder 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 Builder 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 Builder 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 Builder 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 Builder to state in the Preliminary Official Statement, as of its date, a material fact necessary to make the statements made by the Builder 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 Builder may otherwise have to any Indemnified Party, provided that in no event shall the Builder be obligated for double indemnification. Further, in no event shall the Builder’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 Builder in writing; provided that the failure to notify the Builder 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 Builder 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 Builder thereof, the Builder shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party (who may be counsel to the Builder) 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 Builder and the Indemnified Party shall have mutually agreed to the contrary; (ii) the Builder has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; (iii) the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the Builder such that a material conflict of interest exists for such I-5
4881-0553-3898v2/024667-0121
counsel; or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Builder 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 Builder 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 Builder shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent. The Builder 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 Builder, its Relevant Entities, ownership of the Property, the Builder’s development plan, the Builder’s financing plan, the Builder’s lenders, if any, and contractual arrangements of the Builder or any Relevant Entity of the Builder (including, if material to the Builder’s development plan or the Builder’s financing plan, other 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 Builder 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 Builder, the undersigned has reviewed the contents of this Certificate and has met with counsel to the Builder 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 Builder and he or she will have no personal liability arising from or relating to this Letter of Representations.

AMORUSO RANCH COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT NO. 1
(Public Facilities)
This Funding, Construction and Acquisition Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into as of the _____ day of ___________, 2024, by and between the CITY OF ROSEVILLE, a California charter city and municipal corporation (the “City”), and BROOKFIELD SACRAMENTO HOLDINGS LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Owner”).

Recitals
A. On June 21, 2023, the City Council of the City adopted Resolution No. 23-292 entitled “A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROSEVILLE TO FORM A

COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT, DESIGNATE AN IMPROVEMENT AREA THEREIN,

ESTABLISH A FUTURE ANNEXATION AREA, PROVIDE FOR ADDITIONAL FUTURE

IMPROVEMENT AREAS THEREIN, AND TO AUTHORIZE THE LEVY OF A SPECIAL TAX

THEREIN TO FINANCE PUBLIC FACILITIES AND PUBLIC SERVICES IN AND FOR SUCH COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT” (the “Resolution of Formation”) with respect to City of Roseville Amoruso Ranch Community Facilities District No. 1 (Public Facilities) (the “District”) pursuant to the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982, as amended, Chapter 2.5 of Part 1 of Division 2 of Title 5, commencing with Section 53311, of the California Government Code (the “Act”).

B. In forming the District, the City Council also designated (i) Improvement Area No. 1 of the City of Roseville Amoruso Ranch Community Facilities District No. 1 (Public Facilities) (“Improvement Area No. 1”) and (ii) the area identified as Future Annexation Area of City of Roseville Amoruso Ranch Community Facilities District No. 1 (Public Facilities) (the “Future Annexation Area”). Property located within the Future Annexation Area may be annexed by the submission of the owners of the property being annexed of a unanimous approval (“Unanimous Approval”) requesting annexation to Improvement Area No. 1 or a subsequently designated improvement area of the District (whether previously designated in connection with a prior submission of a Unanimous Approval or created for the annexation requested in the Unanimous Approval, a “Future Improvement Area”). As used herein, the term “Improvement Area” means, as applicable, Improvement Area No. 1 or any Future Improvement Area.

C. This Agreement applies to the District, including Improvement Area No. 1 and each Future Improvement Area.

D. Owner owns all the real property in Improvement Area No. 1 of the District and in the Future Annexation Area, which is shown on the map recorded in the Placer County Recorder’s Office on April 11, 2023 in Book 4 at Page 83, as Document No. 2023-0018570 of Maps of Assessment and Community Facilities Districts (the “Property”) and which consists of approximately 148.7 acres within Improvement Area No. 1 of the District and an additional 525.7 acres in the Future Annexation Area, all within the corporate limits of the City, and all in the 674.4- acre “Amoruso Ranch Specific Plan” (the “Specific Plan”) area. The Specific Plan sets forth a 2 comprehensive land use plan and establishes detailed regulations, conditions and programs for development of the Property.

E. In 2016, the City Council of the City adopted an Ordinance approving a Development Agreement by and among the City and Brookfield Sunset, LLC, a California limited liability company (“Brookfield Sunset”), and Jennifer M. Amoruso, Successor Trustee of the Amoruso Family Living Trust Dated March 14, 2005 (the “Trust”), pursuant to the provisions of Article 2.5 (commencing with Section 65864) of Chapter 4 of Division 1 of Title 7 of the California Government Code with respect to the permitted uses of the Property (the “Original Development Agreement”), as amended by the First Amendment of Development Agreement dated April 1, 2020, by and among the City, Brookfield Sunset, and the Trust (the “First Amendment”), and as further amended by the Second Amendment of Development Agreement dated May 11, 2022, by and among the City, the Owner, Brookfield Sunset, and the Trust (the “Second Amendment” and together with the Original Development Agreement and the First Amendment, the “Development Agreement”). Subsequent to the acquisition of all of the Property by the Owner, the Development Agreement was assigned in full by the Trust to the Owner, and the Trust is no longer a party to the Development Agreement or the owner of any part of the Property. The Specific Plan, Development Agreement, including conditions of approval, and other existing and subsequent approvals granted by City and agreements between the Owner and the City in implementation of the Project, as the same may be amended from time to time, including amendments thereto, are herein collectively referred to as the “Project Approvals.” F. Section 53313.5 of the California Government Code provides that a community facilities district may finance the purchase of public facilities, including those completed after the adoption of the resolution of formation establishing the community facilities district if the facilities have been constructed as if they had been constructed under the direction and supervision, or under the authority of, the local agency whose governing body is conducting proceedings for the establishment of the District.

G. As described in Exhibit A hereto and in the Resolution of Formation, Owner proposes to construct improvements in connection with development of the Property to be owned by the City (the “Public Facilities”) and to pay development impact fees associated with development of the Property (the “Authorized Fees”) as required by the Project Approvals, which Public Facilities and Authorized Fees are authorized to be financed by the District, Improvement Area No. 1 and, upon annexation to the District, each Future Improvement Area (the “Project”).

H. The Public Facilities and the Authorized Fees shall be financed by the following sources of funds (collectively, the “Funding Sources”): (i) the net proceeds of Bonds (as defined and described herein); (ii) special taxes to fund the Gap Shortfall (as defined herein); and (iii) (a) within any Improvement Area of the District, any prepayment of special taxes made prior to the issuance of Bonds in such Improvement Area under any rate and method of apportionment for an Improvement Area of the District (an “RMA”) net of administrative expenses associated with such prepayment and (b) within any Improvement Area of the District, any prepayment of special taxes made subsequent to the issuance of Bonds in such Improvement Area net of administrative expenses associated with such prepayment and net of the amount allocable to the prepayment of bonds associated with the prepayment.

I. The purpose of this Agreement is to agree upon and implement the terms of Section 3.17 of the Development Agreement regarding the use of Funding Sources to provide for the acquisition of Public Facilities and the financing of the Authorized Fees. 3 AGREEMENTS
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the preceding recitals and the mutual covenants hereinafter contained, the parties agree as follows:

1. Establishment of District. The City has conducted proceedings pursuant to the Act for the establishment of the District, the designation of Improvement Area No. 1, and the designation of the Future Annexation Area. Such proceedings included but are not limited to, elections pursuant to Sections 53326 and 53327 of the California Government Code on (i) the issuance of bonds for the District (including all Improvement Areas thereof) to finance the construction or acquisition of the aforementioned Public Facilities and the Authorized Fees, (ii) the annual levy of special taxes on all taxable property within Improvement Area No. 1 of the District to finance the Public Facilities and Authorized Fees according to the RMA for Improvement Area No. 1, including payment of debt service on bonds issued on behalf of Improvement Area No. 1 of the District, and for annual administrative expenses of the City and the District in levying and collecting such special taxes, paying the principal and interest on such bonds and providing for the registration, exchange and transfer of such bonds, costs of issuance, including the fees of fiscal agents and paying agents, and any necessary replenishment for the reserve fund for such bonds, accumulation of funds for future bond payments, and (iii) the establishment of an appropriations limit for the District. Owner shall cooperate with City in its conduct of the proceedings for the administration of the District.

Pursuant to Resolution No. 23-181 adopted on May 17, 2023 by the City Council, the City authorized the issuance of bonds in the maximum aggregate principal amount of $594,000,000, initially allocated as follows: (i) for Improvement Area No. 1, the amount of $124,000,000; and (ii) for the Future Annexation Area, the amount of $470,000,000. Bonds for the District are expected to be issued in Improvement Area No. 1 and in each Future Improvement Area in multiple series with a portion of the authorization to be associated with this Agreement, pursuant to and as contemplated under the Development Agreement:
(i) first, being an initial one or more series of bonds in each Improvement Area of the District to finance the Public Facilities and Authorized Fees other than the “Development Impact Fee Deferral” (as defined in the RMA); and (ii) second, being one or more series of bonds in each Improvement Area of the District to finance the Development Impact Fee Deferral.

Bonds issued to finance Public Facilities and Authorized Fees other than the Development Impact Fee Deferral are bonds issued during the “Initial Bonding Period” (as defined in the RMA). Bonds issued to finance the Development Impact Fee Deferral are bonds issued during the “Deferral Bonding Period” (as defined in the RMA). Multiple series of bonds are currently contemplated to be issued in each Improvement Area during the Initial Bonding Period; this Agreement is applicable to proceeds from bonds issued in Improvement Area No. 1 and in each Future Improvement Area, excluding bonds issued solely for the purpose of refunding, only during the Initial Bonding Period and such bonds issued in Improvement Area No. 1 and in each Future Improvement Area for such purpose are herein referred to as the “Bonds.” The issuance and sale of Bonds, the aggregate principal amount thereof, and the timing, terms and conditions upon 4 which Bonds shall be sold shall be reasonably determined by the City in consultation with the Owner and as provided herein.1

2. Sale of Bonds. The City shall proceed, as hereinafter provided, with the sale of Bonds for the District (and each Improvement Area thereof) in an aggregate amount to be determined by the City for the primary purpose of generating money to pay for Public Facilities and Authorized Fees described in the Resolution of Formation and as shown on Exhibit A hereto.

In determining the principal amount of each series of Bonds within Improvement Area No. 1 and each Future Improvement Area the following shall apply:
(i) the aggregate principal amount of Bonds shall not exceed an aggregate amount, as determined by the City, which results in a remaining amount of bond authorization for the District after issuance of all series of Bonds, determined by the City in its sole discretion to be sufficient to issue Deferral Bonds during the Deferral Bonding Period to finance the Development Impact Fee Deferral; and
(ii) each series of Bonds shall have a maturity date that is not later than thirty (30) years prior to the termination of the special tax. For example, in Improvement Area No. 1, the special tax terminates in Fiscal Year 2088-89, which means that Bonds in Improvement Area No. 1 must mature no later than Fiscal Year 2058-59.

3. Tax Requirements. If tax-exempt Bonds are issued, the City shall take all actions which, in the opinion of City’s bond counsel, are necessary to conform to certain requirements of the Internal Revenue Code and regulations thereto in order to avoid classification of the Bonds as “arbitrage bonds” or the loss of tax exemption for the Bonds for any other reason. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the issuance of taxable bonds in the District.

4. Amounts to be Included in Payments. The aggregate principal amount of the Bonds to be issued from time to time shall be determined by the City in consultation with the Owner. The amount of proceeds of Bonds and the other Funding Sources shall be used to reimburse Owner in accordance with this Agreement for the actual costs and expenses incurred by the Owner related to the design and construction of the Public Facilities, or to finance Authorized Fees. The proceeds of Bonds may also be used to pay the Owner’s costs related to establishment of the District, provided that the City shall determine the amount to be so reimbursed on the basis of detailed itemizations of costs provided by Owner and the decision of the City shall be final. In no event shall Owner be reimbursed from Funding Sources for (i) inhouse administrative overhead (except that Owner shall be entitled to payment equal to four percent (4%) of actual construction costs as and for project and construction management services), (ii) interest expense incurred by Owner on moneys advanced during the proceedings for formation of the District and issuance of Bonds, and (iii) any other costs and expenses incurred by Owner which are not authorized by the Act.
1 Pursuant to the terms of the Development Agreement, bonds (the “Deferral Bonds”) are contemplated to be issued for the purpose of financing the Development Impact Fee Deferral during the Deferral Bonding Period, all as described in Section 3.17 of the Development Agreement and the RMA, which Deferral Bonds may be issued at the sole discretion of the City and will not generate proceeds to be used to reimburse Owner for costs of Public Facilities or Authorized Fees as contemplated by this Agreement.
5 The aggregate principal amount of the Bonds issued from time to time shall also include an amount needed to fund a reserve fund for the payment of principal of and interest on the Bonds as is determined by the City to be necessary and appropriate, capitalized interest on the Bonds, if requested by the Owner but for such period as the City shall determine is appropriate, the amount of the discount of the underwriter who purchases the Bonds, and other expenses incurred by the City in connection with the issuance and sale of the Bonds, including bond counsel fees, legal fees, fees of the bank which will act as transfer agent, registrar and paying or fiscal agent for the Bonds, other fees and costs normally incidental to the sale of Bonds, and such other fees and costs enumerated in Section 53345.3 of the California Government Code as the City determines are necessary and appropriate.

Bonds shall not be issued in an aggregate amount which would preclude 30-year bond financing through issuance of the Deferral Bonds as set forth in Section 2(ii) herein. Deferral Bonds, if issued, shall be issued at the discretion of the City and no proceeds thereof shall be used for reimbursement to the Owner in accordance with this Agreement.

5. Design; Reimbursements. Public Facilities to be acquired by the City shall be designed in conformance with all applicable City standards, requirements and the Development Agreement. Upon completion of the design of each such Public Facility to the satisfaction of the City and when Owner has paid to the City all applicable plan checking and other fees, the City shall notify Owner that the design of the Public Facility is completed and acceptable to the City.

It shall be the responsibility of Owner, not the City, to determine the requirements for design and construction of Public Facilities to be acquired by or dedicated to other public agencies, and City’s acceptance of Owner’s design shall not relieve Owner of this responsibility.

Owner shall be reimbursed out of Funding Sources for Owner’s expenses incurred in designing the Public Facilities, including all applicable plan checking and other fees paid by Owner as provided above in this Section, subject to the City’s determination of the amount to be so reimbursed pursuant to the terms hereof, and subject to the limitation that reimbursement in all cases is to be made from available Funding Sources of the District and from no other source.

Pursuant to Section 3.5.2 of the Development Agreement, reimbursement for the cost of construction of all arterial roadways and underground facilities below such roadways, including design and plan check services, shall be made via progress payments, based on invoices for actual work constructed, for stages of the arterial roadway improvements as described in Section

3.5.2 of the Development Agreement that have been signed off by City inspectors, and, for all other Public Facilities, in one or more lump sum payments only after City has received and approved all invoices for such services associated with any particular Public Facility.

Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Section, if the City determines that Owner is not proceeding with the design of the Public Facilities on a reasonable schedule which will enable the City to ensure that construction of all of the Public Facilities can be completed within the times specified in Section 6(k) hereof, the City may, after providing the Owner with thirty (30) days’ notice and an opportunity to cure, take over the design of the Public Facilities by giving Owner written notice thereof. Upon receipt of such a notice, Owner shall surrender to the City all plans and specifications which have then been completed or which are in progress.

If the City takes over the design of the Public Facilities as provided above, the City shall reimburse Owner from the proceeds of the sale of the Bonds a reasonable amount, as determined by the City, for the expenses incurred by Owner in connection with the design of the Public Facilities to the extent such expenses have not previously been reimbursed. The City’s 6 obligation to reimburse is only from and to the extent of funds remaining, after payment for the Public Facilities, to do so.

6. Construction for Acquisition.
(a) This Agreement governs only the acquisition of the Public Facilities by the City.

Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the financing of authorized public improvements (including utilities) owned by an entity other than the City or the acquisition of any facilities or fees of another local agency (which shall be governed by a joint community facilities agreement). Owner shall proceed with the construction of the Public Facilities in accordance with the approved plans and specifications (either prior to or following the formation and confirmation of the authority of the District).
(b) Except as otherwise provided, for construction of Public Facilities under this Section, the Owner shall comply with all of the following requirements to ensure that the Public Facilities will be constructed as if they had been constructed under the direction and supervision, or under the authority of the City:
(c) The plans and specifications shall be approved by the City Engineer for conformance with City codes and policy. This subsection does not apply to the Exhibit B Contracts.
(d) Owner shall receive and open bids, and report the results to the City Engineer.

Any value engineering proposals shall be submitted to the City Engineer for approval. The City Engineer may, after consulting with Owner, require changes to the work. Owner shall promptly order such changes. The City Engineer shall be consulted with respect to any proposed change to the originally-approved design.

The contract or contracts for the construction of the Public Facilities shall be awarded to the responsible bidder(s) submitting the lowest responsible bid(s) for the construction of the Public Facilities, as determined by the Owner. This subsection does not apply to the Exhibit B Contracts.
(e) Owner is required, and the specifications and bid and contract documents shall require all contractors and subcontractors, to pay prevailing wages and to otherwise comply with applicable provisions of the California Labor Code. (f) The Owner or its affiliated general contractor shall provide proof of insurance coverage throughout the term of the construction of the Public Facilities which will be constructed in conformance with the City’s standard procedures and requirements.
(g) No contractor or subcontractor may be listed on a bid proposal for the Public Facilities unless registered with the Department of Industrial Relations pursuant to Labor Code Section 1725.5. No contractor or subcontractor may work on the Public Facilities unless registered with the Department of Industrial Relations pursuant to Labor Code Section 1725.5. Owner shall be responsible for ensuring that these contractor registration requirements are adhered to since construction of the Public Facilities is subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the Department of Industrial Relations.
7 (h) Owner shall notify the Department of Industrial Relations within five (5) days of the award of a contract to a contractor for the Public Facilities. (i) Owner shall comply with all federal, state and local laws, ordinances and policies as may be applicable to the construction of the Public Facilities. (j) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, prior to the execution of this Agreement, the Owner has solicited bids, awarded contracts, and began construction of the Public Facilities listed in Exhibit B attached hereto (the “Exhibit B Contracts”). The Owner certifies and shall be solely responsible therefor, that (i) the Owner solicited at least three bids for the Exhibit B Contracts, (ii) the contract price is the lowest responsible bid to construct the Public Facilities in accordance with the Owner’s development schedule (it being understood that the contract price does not have to be the lowest price to be competitive), (iii) the bid was received in an arms-length transaction with the Owner, (iv) the Owner has satisfied subparagraphs (g) and (h) with respect to the winning bidders, and (v) the bidders have no proprietary interest in the overall Project. In addition, Exhibit B also lists all change orders that have already been approved by the Owner for the construction of Public Facilities.
(k) Owner shall cause the Public Facilities to be constructed in an expeditious manner so that construction of all such Public Facilities shall be completed by such date as may be required by the Development Agreement or upon which the City and Owner may agree; provided, however, that the construction of the Public Facilities to be financed by a specific series of Bonds shall proceed and be completed so that the proceeds of such series of Bonds are expended for the construction or acquisition of the Public Facilities within three (3) years from the date of their issuance.

7. Payment of Actual Costs; Expectation of the Parties; Cost Overruns. (a) The City and Owner agree that it is in their mutual best interest for Owner to construct the Public Facilities from Owner contributions in accordance with the Development Agreement with the understanding that the Public Facilities shall be dedicated to the City and the City shall reimburse the actual cost of the Public Facilities constructed by Owner to the extent of available Funding Sources, and as otherwise determined by City. The Owner understands and agrees that the Owner is required to construct the Public Facilities in accordance with the Project Approvals whether or not there are sufficient Funding Sources from which to pay the Owner for such Public Facilities, and the City shall have no liability to Owner for payment of any shortfall between the Owner’s cost of Public Facilities and the Funding Sources available from time to time.
(b) The City understands and agrees that (i) Owner may be constructing Public Facilities prior to the availability of Funding Sources that will be used to pay for such Public Facilities, (ii) the City may be inspecting such Public Facilities and processing and completing payment requests for the payment on such Public Facilities with knowledge that there may be insufficient Funding Sources available at such time, (iii) the Public Facilities may be conveyed to and accepted by the City when there are insufficient Funding Sources to pay the purchase prices of such Public Facilities, and (iv) in any such case, the payment of any approved payment 8 requests for the acquisition prices of such Public Facilities will be deferred until there are sufficient Funding Sources available to pay the acquisition prices of such Public Facilities, at which time the City will make such payments in accordance with this Agreement. At all times, Owner will be constructing such Public Facilities with the expectation that such Public Facilities will be paid from the Funding Sources, subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement. The conveyance of Public Facilities to the City prior to receipt of payment for such Public Facilities shall not be construed as a dedication or gift, or a waiver of the payment for such Public Facilities. The actual costs of the Public Facilities may be paid to Owner in any number of installments as Funding Sources become available. To the extent that Funding Sources are ultimately unavailable to pay for such Public Facilities, the Owner shall have no claim against the City or the District for any shortfall in the payment.

(c) Owner shall be entitled to the actual costs it incurs in constructing the Public Facilities, including any cost overruns.

8. Inspection and Approval of Construction. The City shall provide such level of inspection of the progress of construction of the Public Facilities to be constructed by Owner for acquisition by the City as it deems necessary, and its inspectors shall have access to the construction sites at all times for the purpose of conducting their inspection. Owner and its contractors shall cooperate in every way with the City and its inspectors to ensure that they are afforded an adequate opportunity to inspect each and every phase of the progress of construction of each and every such Public Facility. Upon completion of the construction of a Public Facility (either in its entirety, or a portion thereof), constructed by Owner, and upon receipt of written notification from City’s inspectors that construction thereof has been completed in accordance with the plans and specifications thereof and the City’s standard requirements, and upon receipt of satisfactory proof, based on the records of Owner and the City and such certifications as the City may require, that the requirements of Section 6 hereof have been satisfied, the City shall notify Owner in writing that the construction of the Public Facility, or portion thereof has been satisfactorily completed; provided, however, that Owner, not the City, shall be responsible for determining satisfaction of requirements of other public agencies with respect to the Public Facilities. Upon receiving such notification of a completed Public Facility, the City Clerk staff shall file with the County Recorder of the County of Placer a Notice of Completion pursuant to the provision of Section 9204 of the California Civil Code, and supply to Owner a duplicate copy of each such Notice of Completion showing thereon the date of filing with the County Records. The costs incurred by the City in inspecting and approving the construction of the bond financed Public Facilities may be paid or reimbursed from the Funding Sources.

9. Liens. Upon the expiration of the time for the recording of claims of liens as prescribed by Section 8412 and 8414 of the California Civil Code, Owner shall provide to the City such evidence or proof as the City shall require that all persons, firms and corporations supplying work, labor, materials, supplies and equipment to the construction of the Public Facilities (or approved portion thereof) constructed by Owner for acquisition by the City have been paid, and that no claims of liens have been recorded by or on behalf of any such person, firm or corporation.

10. Acquisition; Maintenance. Upon completion of the construction of each Public Facility or portion thereof constructed by Owner for acquisition by the City, the City shall 9 determine the acquisition price to be paid by the City for the acquisition of the completed Public Facility or portion thereof from Owner. The acquisition price as to each Public Facility or portion thereof shall include the actual cost of construction thereof as determined by the contract prices as set forth in contracts and purchase orders entered into by Owner with its contractors, and suppliers. Owner shall furnish to the City such proof of the amounts which Owner contends should be included in the acquisition price for a completed Public Facility or portion thereof as the City shall require, together with lien releases from all contractors and suppliers providing work and materials for the completed Public Facility or portion thereof in form satisfactory to the City. The City shall have ten (10) days to determine the acquisition price. The determination of the City as to the acquisition price for a completed Public Facility or portion thereof shall be final.

Upon determining the acquisition price for a completed Public Facility or portion thereof, the City shall promptly notify Owner in writing of such acquisition price. Upon presentation by Owner to the City of such documents, including lien releases, as the City shall require as to the completed Public Facility or portion thereof, the City shall, within ten (10) days thereafter, pay from Funding Sources, if any, the amount of the acquisition price for the completed Public Facility or portion thereof but in the case of a completed Public Facility less a retention of 150% of the value of “Punch List” work not completed. The City shall hold the retention amount on all Public Facilities acquired until the Punch List work is completed and accepted by the City, at which time the retention amount, upon the Owner’s direction, be (1) promptly paid to Owner, (2) promptly released to the appropriate contractor designated by the Owner, or (3) retained by the City in lieu of the Owner obtaining a maintenance bond during the warranty period described below.

The administrative procedure to implement the foregoing is as follows, and may be subject to revision by City upon notice to Owner. Owner shall notify the City Engineer that a Public Facility, or particular stage of the Public Facility, as provided in Section 3.5.2 of the Development Agreement, is complete and shall furnish proof of the amounts to be included in the acquisition price, together with lien releases. Development Services staff shall then inspect the Public Facility to confirm completion. Development Services staff shall then notify City’s Finance Department regarding completion and shall request payment to Owner. Within ten (10) days thereafter, and provided that the improvement has been conveyed to City or irrevocably offered for dedication, or, in the case of Public Facilities for which progress payments are provided for in the Development Agreement, invoices for actual work constructed have been presented by Owner to the City and the particular Public Facilities have been signed off by City inspectors, City shall issue payment to Owner in the requested amount, further provided and to the extent that funds are available, except that Owner shall choose one of the following options prior to release of the final five percent (5%): (1) City shall retain five percent (5%) of the total invoiced amounts until expiration of a warranty period of one year from the date of completion for the subject Public Facility; or (2) Owner shall obtain a maintenance bond until expiration of the one-year warranty period for the subject Public Facility. Upon expiration of the one-year warranty period, the five percent (5%) retention shall be disbursed to Owner or the maintenance bond shall be released, less any amounts utilized by the City for warranty work. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Section, the City will not pay for the acquisition of any Public Facilities or portion thereof unless and until the street, drainage or other utility rights of way where they are located have been irrevocably offered to the City for dedication, except in the case of Public Facilities for which progress payments are to be paid by City as provided for in Section 3.5.2 of the Development Agreement, based on invoices for actual work constructed that have been signed off by City inspectors.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the City will not disburse any proceeds of Bonds or excess Special Taxes to Owner for the acquisition of any Authorized Facilities or portion thereof, or disburse any funds to reimburse Owner for costs of Authorized Facilities or Impact 10 Fees during a time when Owner is in default in the payment of Special Taxes levied against a parcel in the District owned by Owner. If any disbursements are withheld because of such default, the withheld disbursements shall be released pursuant to this Agreement upon the payment by Owner of all such defaulted amounts and any associated penalties and interest.

Until a Public Facility is acquired by the City, Owner shall maintain it, and shall transfer it to the City free of any liens and in good operating condition. Upon the acquisition of a Public Facility by the City, the City shall, except as otherwise provided in the Project Approvals, become responsible for its maintenance, subject to any contractor’s warranty or maintenance provisions of bonds required under the Final Map or other City approval, or under any other agreement.

11. Indemnification; Insurance. Owner shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the City, the District, and their officers, agents and employees (herein, the “Indemnified Parties”) from any and all liability, cost and expense in connection with the construction of the Public Facilities (including, but not limited to, arising out of or in connection with the contracts, contracting, and reporting for the Exhibit B Facilities) to be constructed by Owner for acquisition by the City, including, but not limited to, liability, costs, expenses and claims arising, under the procedures set forth in Section 6 of this Agreement. Owner shall also defend, indemnify and hold harmless the City, the District, and their officers, agents and employees from any and all liability, cost and expense in connection with the ownership of the Public Facilities (including, but not limited to, arising out of or in connection with the contracts, contracting, and reporting for the Exhibit B Facilities) to be constructed by Owner for acquisition by the City prior to the time the City accepts the Public Facilities, whether or not such Public Facilities are to be acquired with bond proceeds; provided that the Owner shall not be responsible for liability arising from the negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Parties. Owner shall procure and provide or cause contractor to procure and provide, until construction of all of the Public Facilities to be constructed by Owner is completed and acceptance thereof by the City has occurred, a commercial general liability insurance, in a form acceptable to the City, naming the City, the District and their officers, agents and employees as additional insureds, having a single aggregate liability limit as to all coverages provided thereby in the amount of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000). Before commencing the construction of any Public Facility, Owner shall provide or cause contractor to provide the City with a certification of insurance and endorsement as to such insurance in a form acceptable to the City, and Owner shall upon each renewal of such insurance policy provide the City with a new certificate of insurance with respect thereto.

Owner shall also furnish or cause contractor to furnish to the City, prior to commencing the construction of any Public Facility to be constructed by Owner for acquisition by the City, a certificate of insurance evidencing that Owner has procured and has in force a current policy of workers’ compensation insurance in compliance with California law as to all workers to be employed by Owner in connection with the design and construction of the Public Facilities.

Owner shall require each person, firm or corporation with whom it contracts in connection with the design and construction of the Public Facilities to provide and maintain such workers’ compensation insurance and a commercial general liability insurance in the amount hereinabove specified and in a form acceptable to the City. Owner shall provide to the City proof, in such form and at such intervals as set forth below, that each contractor with whom it contracts has procured and is maintaining such insurance.

Upon the execution of each contract with each person, firm or corporation with whom Owner contracts in connection with the design and construction of the Public Facilities and prior to permitting any such person, firm or corporation to commence work under such contract, Owner shall provide or cause contractor to provide to the City a certificate from the insurance providers 11 that the insurance policies required of it under this Section 11 are in force, that the City is named as an additional insured on the commercial general liability insurance, and that the policies will not be canceled or allowed to lapse without 30 days written notice to the City.

The premiums paid by Owner for the insurance required by this Section may be included in the acquisition price to be paid by the City for the Public Facilities to be constructed by Owner as an incidental cost.

12. Ownership of Facilities. Notwithstanding that some of the Public Facilities to be constructed by Owner for acquisition by the City may be constructed in dedicated street rightsof-way or on property which has been or will be dedicated or offered for dedication to the City, District or Public Utility, such Public Facilities or any portion thereof shall be and remain the property of Owner, and Owner shall be responsible for any loss or damage thereto or liability arising therefrom, until they are acquired by the City or other agencies as provided in the preceding Sections of this Agreement. Such ownership by Owner shall likewise not be affected by any agreement which Owner may enter into with the City pursuant to the provisions of the Subdivision Map Act, Section 66410 et seq. of the California Government Code, which may contain or include provisions with respect to the construction and ownership of public facilities which may seem to be contradictory to the provision of this Agreement, and the provisions of this Section shall control.

13. Improvement Security. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, Owner shall be required to agree to construct and to secure or cause contractor to secure the construction and completion of construction of the Public Facilities, or portions thereof, as a condition precedent to the approval of subdivision or parcel maps for portions of the Property as required by the City pursuant to Section 66462 and Sections 66499 through 66499.10 of the Government Code.

The aggregate principal amount of the improvement bonds or other security provided by Owner or contractor pursuant to this Section shall be reduced by such amount as the City shall determine is appropriate upon receipt of the proceeds from the sale of the Bonds. The amount of the reduction of such aggregate principal amount shall be determined by the City based on the amount of each such improvement bond or other security which relates to the Public Facilities to be constructed or acquired with the proceeds of the sale of the Bonds. The foregoing provisions notwithstanding, upon the issuance and proceeds from the sale of the Bonds, Owner shall not be required to post any other security for roadway Capital Improvement Program improvements as provided in Section 3.5.4.2 of the Development Agreement.

All subdivision and performance bonds shall provide, among other things, that the principal thereof whether that be Owner or its contractor(s), guarantees that the completed Public Facilities shall be free from defects resulting from faulty workmanship and materials for a period of one year from the date of acceptance by the City, and the obligation of the surety shall extend to the fulfilling of that guarantee. At the end of said one year period and subject to certification of the City Engineer that any defects have been corrected, the obligation of the principal and surety named therein shall cease.

14. Failure to Complete Construction. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions, of this Agreement, if Owner fails to expeditiously prosecute the construction of the Public Facilities to be constructed by Owner for acquisition by the City in accordance with the timing required by the Project Approvals or this Agreement, the City shall have the right and may elect to take over the construction of such Public Facilities, or any part thereof, if City determines it is necessary for 12 City to so proceed in order to protect the City’s interests. If the City elects to so proceed, it shall notify Owner in writing that if Owner does not satisfy the City that construction is proceeding expeditiously on the construction of a Public Facility within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, the City will take over the construction of such Public Facilities. If after receiving such a written notification Owner does not satisfy the City that it is proceeding expeditiously to construct that portion of the Public Facilities identified in the written notification to the satisfaction of the City, within thirty (30) days from the date of receipt thereof, Owner shall relinquish to the City all design documents, and shall cooperate with the City in every way to ensure that the construction of the Public Facilities will be completed expeditiously.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section, the only sources of funds to be utilized by the City for the construction of any such Public Facilities shall be (i) the proceeds of the sale of the Bonds and, at City’s discretion, (ii) the proceeds of applicable City development fees collected pursuant to the applicable codes, ordinances and policies of the City, including development fees paid through levies of the special taxes of the District, (iii) proceeds from the sale of the bonds of another community facilities district or assessment district established over and including property in the City, (iv) interest earnings on the reserve fund for the Bonds, to the extent such earnings are determined by the City to be available for construction of the Public Facilities, (v) the Owner’s subdivision bond or bonds to the extent applicable, (vi) any other performance security that may have been provided by the Owner, and (vii) the Owner’s and/or contractors’ performance bonds.

To the extent that the proceeds of the sale of the Bonds and such other funds may be insufficient to pay for the construction of a Public Facility which will be constructed by the City pursuant to this Section, the City may either construct only those Public Facilities which can be constructed within the total of the amounts of the proceeds from the sale of the Bonds and such other funds which are available therefor, or the City may proceed to complete the Public Facilities and charge the Owner, the Owner’s bond or any contractor’s bond for the costs thereof.

15. Owner Responsibility for Satisfaction of Improvements required by Conditions of Approval.

If the anticipated proceeds of Bonds are not sufficient to pay the full amount of the acquisition price of Public Facilities, Authorized Fees, or any other authorized facilities and fees (the “Gap Shortfall”), City covenants to levy the District special tax at the maximum rate permitted against each Developed Parcel within the District for thirty (30) years, commencing with the year in which there first is a levy of special taxes on such parcel as a Developed Parcel, and thereafter to pay to Owner from excess Special Tax revenues generated from such Developed Parcel on an annual basis payments toward the acquisition prices of Public Facilities, Authorized Fees, and any other authorized facilities and fees until the earlier of (i) with respect to each Developed Property, thirty (30) years from the date of the first levy of Special Tax on such Developed Property, or (ii) the year the Gap Shortfall plus accrued interest is paid in full, provided however in the event refunding bonds are issued, the determination of the amount of excess special taxes shall be computed based on the debt service for the originally issued Bonds. Accrued interest shall be calculated from the first day of the next succeeding month following the date of each payment by Owner for costs related to the Public Facilities for which payment otherwise would have been made from Bond proceeds in the absence of such Gap Shortfall, provided the parties agree that Bond proceeds shall first be exhausted prior to payment to Owner for any interest. Upon the first payment by Owner for costs related to Public Facilities (after exhaustion of available Bond proceeds) the rate of interest to be paid for purposes of all deferred payments described above shall be fixed as of the date of such first payment by Owner, based on the May rate established by the Engineering New Record Construction Cost Index for the United States Twenty (20) City Average, averaged with the Construction Cost Index for San Francisco. 13 16. Construction of Other Facilities. Owner shall also proceed expeditiously with the design and construction of the other improvements and facilities, other than the Public Facilities, which are necessary to the development of the Property and the provision of municipal services within the District and to the residents therein. Such other public improvements and facilities shall be designed and constructed on a schedule which will not delay or interfere in any way with the design and construction of the Public Facilities. The provisions of this Section shall not supersede those of any other agreement between Owner and the City.

17. Development Schedule. Owner shaIl also proceed with the construction of the Public Facilities with all commercially reasonable diligence to ensure that such development is completed in accordance with the Project Approvals.

18. District Financing of Authorized Fees. Authorized Fees may be financed from the Funding Sources. Authorized Fees paid by the Owner to the City or other applicable agency, including Authorized Fees paid prior to the availability of the Funding Sources, shall be eligible to be reimbursed to the Owner from the Funding Sources (as and when available), subject to any applicable tax-exempt bonding requirements if tax-exempt bonds are issued. Any Authorized Fees paid by the Owner shall be made with the understanding that such Authorized Fees will be financed (subject to any applicable tax-exempt bonding requirements if tax-exempt bonds are issued) from the Funding Sources if, and when, such Funding Sources become available. The payment of Authorized Fees prior to the availability of the Funding Sources shall not be construed as a dedication or gift of the Authorized Fees, or a waiver of the payment for such Authorized Fees pursuant to this Agreement, it being the intention that the Authorized Fees be paid by the Funding Sources to the extent of the Funding Sources and satisfaction of other conditions set forth in this Agreement. The financing of Authorized Fees hereunder may be paid in any number of installments as Funding Sources become available.

19. Binding on Community Facilities District. The District shall automatically become a party to this Agreement to the extent permitted by California law, and all provisions hereof which apply to the City shall also apply to the District. The City Council of the City, acting for the District, shall perform all parts of this Agreement which require performance on the part of the District.

20. Assignment. Owner may not assign this Agreement or any right or duty hereunder to a non-affiliated assignee without the express written approval of the City. The City may condition any such approval on proof of the financial responsibility and experience of a proposed assignee to undertake and perform the duties and responsibilities of Owner under this Agreement.

The City’s approval of an assignment of this Agreement and the rights and duties of Owner hereunder shall not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Owner may, by written direction to the City, designate an assignee to receive disbursement of moneys otherwise due to the Owner hereunder.

21. Prompt Action. All consents, approvals and determinations required of either the City or Owner pursuant to this Agreement shall be promptly given or made, and shall not be unreasonably withheld.

22. General. This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the matters herein provided for, and may be amended by a subsequent written agreement signed on behalf of both parties. This Agreement is for the exclusive benefit of Owner, the City, and the District and shall not be construed to confer any rights or benefits upon any persons other than the City, the District, and the Owner. This Agreement shall, however, inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of the parties. This Agreement 14 shall be construed and governed by the Constitution and laws of the State of California. Should either party to this Agreement commence a court action or proceeding against another party with respect to this Agreement or the design and acquisition or construction of the Public Facilities, the Party prevailing in such action or proceeding shall be entitled to receive from the losing party its attorney’s fees, expert witness fees, court costs, and other costs incurred by it in prosecuting or defending such action or proceeding. The captions of the sections of this Agreement are provided for convenience temporarily, and shall not have any bearing on the interpretation of any section hereof. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be an original of the same Agreement.

CITY OF ROSEVILLE
AMORUSO RANCH COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT NO. 1 (PUBLIC FACILITIES) IMPROVEMENT AREA NO. 1

SPECIAL TAX BONDS
SERIES 2024
Dated: Date of Delivery Due: September 1, as shown on inside cover The bonds captioned above (the “2024 Bonds”), are being issued by the City of Roseville (the “City”) by and through Improvement Area No. 1 (“Improvement Area No. 1”) of the City of Roseville Amoruso Ranch Community Facilities District No. 1 (Public Facilities) (the “District”). The 2024 Bonds are special tax obligations of the City, authorized pursuant to the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982, as amended, being California Government Code Section 53311, et seq. (the “Act”), and are issued pursuant to the Resolution of Issuance (as defined herein) and a Fiscal Agent Agreement dated as of August 1, 2024 (the “Fiscal Agent Agreement”) by and between the City and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as fiscal agent (the “Fiscal Agent”). The 2024 Bonds are being issued to (i) construct and/or acquire certain authorized public facilities, (ii) provide for a deposit to a debt service reserve account for the 2024 Bonds, (iii) pay capitalized interest on a portion of the 2024 Bonds due March 1, 2025, and (iv) pay costs of issuance of the 2024 Bonds. Interest on the 2024 Bonds is payable semiannually on March 1 and September 1 of each year, commencing March 1, 2025. The 2024 Bonds represent the first series of special tax bonds issued for Improvement Area No. 1 and the issuance of additional parity bonds in the future is contemplated, subject to the conditions set forth in the Fiscal Agent Agreement. See “THE BONDS – Authority for Issuance” and “SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE BONDS – Future Parity Bonds.”
The 2024 Bonds are being issued as fully registered bonds, registered in the name of Cede & Co. as nominee of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), and will be available to ultimate purchasers in the denomination of $5,000 or any integral multiple thereof, under the book-entry system maintained by DTC. See “APPENDIX G – DTC AND THE BOOK-ENTRY ONLY SYSTEM.” The 2024 Bonds are secured by and payable from a pledge of Special Tax Revenues (as defined herein) derived from Special Taxes (derived from the levy of “Facilities Special Taxes,” both as defined herein) to be levied by the City on real property within Improvement Area No. 1, from the proceeds of any foreclosure actions brought following a delinquency in the payment of the Special Taxes, and from amounts held in certain funds under the Fiscal Agent Agreement, all as more fully described herein. Unpaid Special Taxes do not constitute a personal indebtedness of the owners of the parcels within Improvement Area No. 1. In the event of delinquency, proceedings may be conducted only against the parcel of real property securing the delinquent Special Tax. There is no assurance the owners will be able to pay the Special Tax or that they will pay a Special Tax even though financially able to do so. To provide funds for payment of the 2024 Bonds and the interest thereon as a result of any delinquent Special Taxes, the City will establish a debt service reserve account for the 2024 Bonds from proceeds of the 2024 Bonds, as described herein. See “SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE BONDS.” Property currently in Improvement Area No. 1 and subject to the Special Tax is developing into 481 single-family homes, as phase 1 of the “Amoruso Ranch” development ongoing within the Amoruso Ranch Specific Plan, located in the northwest portion of the City. Brookfield Sacramento Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Master Developer”), which is the master developer of the project, has sold all 481 lots in Improvement Area No. 1 to D.R. Horton (and a landbank for D.R. Horton) and Richmond American, as described herein. See “IMPROVEMENT AREA NO. 1 PLANNED DEVELOPMENT,” “THE MASTER DEVELOPER,” and “MERCHANT BUILDER INFORMATION.” The 2024 Bonds are subject to optional and mandatory redemption prior to maturity as described herein. See “THE BONDS – Redemption.”

NEITHER THE FAITH AND CREDIT NOR THE TAXING POWER OF THE CITY, THE COUNTY OF PLACER, THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA OR ANY POLITICAL SUBDIVISION THEREOF IS PLEDGED TO THE PAYMENT OF THE 2024 BONDS. THE 2024 BONDS DO NOT CONSTITUTE A DEBT OF THE CITY WITHIN THE MEANING OF ANY STATUTORY OR CONSTITUTIONAL DEBT LIMITATION.

* Preliminary; subject to change.
2 The District and Improvement Area No. 1. On April 5, 2023, the City Council of the City (the “City Council”), as legislative body of the District, adopted a Resolution of Intention to form the District, and designate Improvement Area No. 1 as the sole initial improvement area therein, under the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982, as amended (the “Act”), to levy a special tax (the “Facilities Special Tax,” also referred to herein as the “Special Tax”) and to incur bonded indebtedness for the purpose of financing certain authorized facilities. After conducting a noticed public hearing, on June 21, 2023, the City Council adopted a Resolution of Formation (the “Resolution of Formation”), which established the District, designated Improvement Area No. 1 as an improvement area therein, and formed a future annexation area for the District (the “Future Annexation Area”). Also on June 21, 2023, a special election was held within Improvement Area No. 1, where the Master Developer (defined below) approved the levy of the Special Tax pursuant to the Rate and Method (defined below), and established an appropriations limit and bonded indebtedness limit for Improvement Area No. 1 of $124,000,000.

The Master Developer and the Development. Property currently in Improvement Area No. 1 and subject to the Special Tax is developing into 481 single-family homes, which represents phase 1 of the “Amoruso Ranch” development ongoing within the Amoruso Ranch Specific Plan, located in the northwest portion of the City. Brookfield Sacramento Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Master Developer”), which is the master developer of the project, has sold all 481 lots in phase 1 to D.R. Horton (and a landbank for D.R. Horton) and Richmond American (as such terms are defined below). See “IMPROVEMENT AREA NO. 1 PLANNED DEVELOPMENT,” “THE MASTER DEVELOPER,” and “MERCHANT BUILDER INFORMATION.” The 2024 Bonds have been sized to provide at least a 110% annual debt service coverage ratio, based on the Maximum Annual Facilities Special Tax generated by the 481 taxable parcels within Improvement Area No. 1 (net of the County’s tax collection charge of 1%). Additional Bonds (as defined herein), secured on parity with the 2024 Bonds, are expected to be issued to finance the acquisition and/or construction of additional Improvements in the future.

Land in Improvement Area No. 1 represents a portion of the larger “Amoruso Ranch” development. Home building and sales in Improvement Area No. 1 represents “phase 1” of the project. The entire “Amoruso Ranch” project is entitled for 2,827 residential units (a mix of low-, medium-, and high-density residential), as well as other related uses. Only the land in Improvement Area No. 1 is and will be security for the 2024 Bonds.

The Merchant Builders. All of the 481 taxable lots in Improvement Area No. 1 have been acquired, in finished lot condition, by or for the following merchant builders (together, the “Merchant Builders”):
• Richmond American Homes of Maryland, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Richmond American”) (138 LDR lots);
• D.R. Horton CA2, Inc., a California corporation (“D.R. Horton”) (151 LDR lots and 53 MDR lots); and
• Amoruso P1A – Roseville, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Hearthstone Land Bank”), serving as land bank for D.R. Horton (139 MDR lots).

The following table summarizes the status of development by the Merchant Builders as of July 1, 2024. For additional details, see “IMPROVEMENT AREA NO. 1 PLANNED DEVELOPMENT” and “MERCHANT BUILDER INFORMATION.”

Authority for Issuance of the 2024 Bonds. The 2024 Bonds are issued pursuant to the Act, a resolution adopted by the City Council on July 17, 2024 (the “Resolution of Issuance”) and a Fiscal Agent Agreement, dated as of August 1, 2024 (the “Fiscal Agent Agreement”), between the City and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as fiscal agent (the “Fiscal Agent”).

Bond Terms. The 2024 Bonds will be dated as of and bear interest from the date of delivery thereof at the rate or rates set forth on the cover page of this Official Statement. Interest on the 2024 Bonds is payable on March 1 and September 1 of each year (each an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing March 1, 2025. The 2024 Bonds will be issued without coupons in denominations of $5,000 or any integral multiple thereof.

Registration of Ownership of 2024 Bonds. The 2024 Bonds will be issued only as fully registered bonds in book-entry form, registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”). Ultimate purchasers of 2024 Bonds will not receive physical certificates representing their interest in the 2024 Bonds. So long as the 2024 Bonds are registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, references herein to the Owners will mean Cede & Co. and will not mean the ultimate purchasers of the 2024 Bonds. Payments of the principal, premium, if any, and interest on the 2024 Bonds will be made directly to DTC, or its nominee, Cede & Co. so long as DTC or Cede & Co. is the registered owner of the 2024 Bonds.

Disbursements of such payments to DTC’s Participants is the responsibility of DTC and disbursements of such payments to the Beneficial Owners is the responsibility of DTC’s Participants and Indirect Participants, as more fully described herein. See “APPENDIX G – DTC AND THE BOOK-ENTRY ONLY SYSTEM.”
Use of Proceeds. Proceeds of the 2024 Bonds will primarily be used to finance a portion of the costs of acquiring and constructing certain authorized infrastructure improvements (the “Improvements,” as described herein) as part of the development being undertaken by the Master Developer. The Improvements consist generally of roadway, water, wastewater, drainage, and other infrastructure improvements necessary for development of property within the District, as well as park and open space improvements. Proceeds of the 2024 Bonds will also be deposited to a debt service reserve account for the 2024 Bonds, pay costs of issuance, and pay capitalized interest on a portion of the 2024 Bonds due March 1, 2025.

Security and Source of Payment of the 2024 Bonds. As security for the payment of the 2024 Bonds, a facilities special tax applicable to each taxable parcel in Improvement Area No. 1 will be levied and collected according to the facilities tax liability determined by the City Council through the application of the Rate, Method of Apportionment, and Manner of Collection of Special Tax for Improvement Area No. 1 (the “Rate and Method”). The Rate and Method is 4 set forth in its entirety in APPENDIX A hereto. The Rate and Method includes a services special tax component which is not security for the 2024 Bonds. Pursuant to the Rate and Method, a “Facilities Special Tax” will be levied and collected until the earlier of (i) the “Transition Year” (defined herein) or (ii) Fiscal Year 2088-89, and a “Maintenance Special Tax” will be levied and collected in perpetuity beginning in the Transition Year. Only the “Facilities Special Tax” is pledged to the payment of the 2024 Bonds, and the definition of “Special Taxes” used in the Fiscal Agent Agreement and this Official Statement refers only to the “Facilities Special Tax” levied in accordance with the Rate and Method. See “SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT OF THE BONDS – Special Tax Methodology.”
The 2024 Bonds and any Additional Bonds that may be issued in the future pursuant to the terms of the Fiscal Agent Agreement are payable from the “Special Tax Revenues,” consisting of the proceeds of the Special Taxes received by the City, including all scheduled payments and delinquent payments thereof, interest thereon and proceeds of the redemption or sale of property sold as a result of foreclosure of the lien of the Special Taxes, net of the administration charge of the County (currently at 1%), but do not include any interest in excess of the interest due on the Bonds or any penalties collected in connection with any such foreclosure.

The 2024 Bonds are also payable from amounts held in certain funds and accounts pursuant to the Fiscal Agent Agreement, including a debt service reserve account, all as more fully described herein.

The Special Tax represents a lien on each parcel of land subject to the Special Tax, and failure to pay the Special Taxes could result in proceedings to foreclose the delinquent parcel.

The Special Taxes do not constitute the personal indebtedness of the owners of taxed parcels.

See “SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE BONDS.”
Additional Parity Bonds. The maximum authorized indebtedness for Improvement Area No. 1 is $124,000,000, and the 2024 Bonds represent the first series of special tax bonds issued under this authorization. The 2024 Bonds are expected to be the only series of bonds issued for infrastructure improvements constructed by the Master Developer. However, in the future, the City may utilize a portion of the available authorized bond amount for the funding of certain deferred impact fees owed to the City, as described below under “– Use of Bond Authorization for Development Impact Fee Deferral Bonds.”
The District may issue additional bonds secured by Special Tax Revenues on parity with the 2024 Bonds (the “Additional Bonds,” and collectively, the “Bonds”), upon the satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the Fiscal Agent Agreement. So long as the 2024 Bonds are outstanding, issuance of any Additional Bonds must comply with certain conditions set forth in the Fiscal Agent Agreement, and no bonds having a lien senior to the lien of the 2024 Bonds are allowed. The 2024 Bonds are being sized to 110% debt service coverage from Maximum Special Tax Revenues (net of the County’s tax collection charge of 1%). Therefore, based on the current land uses and special tax rates in the District, there is not expected to be capacity for Additional Bonds, including to pay for the Development Impact Fee Deferral, until the 2024 Bonds have been refunded or mature. See “SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE BONDS – Future Parity Bonds.”
Use of Bond Authorization for Development Impact Fee Deferral Bonds. In connection with the approval of development in the District (including Improvement Area No. 1), the City agreed that payment of certain impact fees owed by the Master Developer and merchant builders will be deferred (referred to as the “Development Impact Fee Deferral” in the Rate and Method) to allow payment of the deferred fees after the 2024 Bonds have been fully paid. The 5 City expects to receive payment for the deferred impact fees either through continued collection of Special Taxes or through the issuance of future bonds after the 2024 Bonds and any Additional Bonds have matured. If the City chooses to issue bonds to pay deferred impact fees, the remaining authorization will be available to be utilized by the City as a means therefor. 2024 Reserve Account of the Reserve Fund. A debt service reserve fund has been established under the Fiscal Agent Agreement (the “Reserve Fund”), and within the Reserve Fund, separate reserve accounts are being established for each series of Bonds. Accordingly, at the time of issuance of the 2024 Bonds, a reserve account will be established within the Reserve Fund for the benefit of the holders of the 2024 Bonds (the “2024 Reserve Account”). The 2024 Reserve Account is available solely for the payment of debt service on the 2024 Bonds and no other parity obligations. See “SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE BONDS – 2024 Reserve Account of the Reserve Fund.”
Appraised Value of Property. Property in Improvement Area No. 1 is security for the Special Tax that secures the Bonds. The City authorized the preparation of an appraisal report (the “Appraisal”) for certain real property within Improvement Area No. 1, which sets forth an aggregate value of appraised taxable property currently in Improvement Area No. 1 of $104,659,000, as of the date of value of May 29, 2024. The valuation assumes completion of the Improvements funded by the 2024 Bonds (but not any Additional Bonds that may be issued in the future) and accounts for the impact of the lien of the Special Tax on the value of the property. In considering the estimates of value evidenced by the Appraisal, it should be noted that the Appraisal is based upon a number of standard and special assumptions, which affect the estimates as to value. See “VALUE OF PROPERTY WITHIN IMPROVEMENT AREA NO. 1 – The Appraisal” and APPENDIX B.

The appraised value of property in Improvement Area No. 1 is 3.4* times the $30,468,531* aggregate principal amount of the 2024 Bonds ($30,400,000*) plus overlapping tax and assessment debt ($68,531). This is based on the entirety of Improvement Area No. 1, the value to lien ratio for individual parcels will vary from the average. See “VALUE OF PROPERTY WITHIN IMPROVEMENT AREA NO. 1 – Value to Special Tax Burden Ratios.” The following table summarizes appraised values for parcels in Improvement Area No. 1.

6 Risks of Investment. See the section of this Official Statement entitled “SPECIAL RISK FACTORS” for a discussion of special factors that should be considered, in addition to the other matters set forth herein, in considering the investment quality of the 2024 Bonds. In particular, no assurance can be given that the timing of construction of homes and/or sale of homes projected by the Merchant Builders in this Official Statement will be accomplished. See “SPECIAL RISK FACTORS.”
Limited Obligation of the City. The general fund of the City is not liable and the full faith and credit of the City is not pledged for the payment of the interest on, or principal of or redemption premiums, if any, on the 2024 Bonds. The 2024 Bonds are not secured by a legal or equitable pledge of or charge, lien or encumbrance upon any property of the City or any of its income or receipts, except the money in the funds established and pledged to the 2024 Bonds under the Fiscal Agent Agreement, and neither the payment of the interest on nor principal of or redemption premiums, if any, on the 2024 Bonds is a general debt, liability or obligation of the City. The 2024 Bonds do not constitute an indebtedness of the City within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory debt limitation or restrictions, and neither the City Council, the City nor any officer or employee thereof are liable for the payment of the interest on or principal of or redemption premiums, if any, on the 2024 Bonds other than from the proceeds of the Special Taxes and the money in the funds established and pledged to the 2024 Bonds, as provided in the Fiscal Agent Agreement.

8 THE BONDS
Authority for Issuance
The 2024 Bonds are issued pursuant to the Fiscal Agent Agreement, the Resolution of Issuance and the Act.

The 2024 Bonds have been sized to provide at least a 110% annual debt service coverage ratio from the Special Tax generated from the 481 taxable lots in Improvement Area No. 1.

Therefore, based on the current land uses and special tax rates in the District, there is not expected to be capacity for Additional Bonds, including to pay for the Development Impact Fee Deferral, until the 2024 Bonds have been refunded or mature. See “SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE BONDS – Future Parity Bonds.”
Description of the Bonds
Bond Terms. The 2024 Bonds will be dated as of and bear interest from the date of delivery thereof at the rates and mature in the amounts and years, as set forth on the cover page hereof. The 2024 Bonds are being issued in the denomination of $5,000 or any integral multiple thereof.

Interest on the 2024 Bonds will be payable semiannually on March 1 and September 1 of each year (each an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing March 1, 2025. The principal of the 2024 Bonds and premiums due upon the redemption thereof, if any, will be payable in lawful money of the United States of America at the designated principal corporate trust office of the Fiscal Agent in Los Angeles, California, or such other place as designated by the Fiscal Agent, upon presentation and surrender of the 2024 Bonds; provided that so long as any 2024 Bonds are in book-entry form, payments with respect to such 2024 Bonds will be made by wire transfer, or such other method acceptable to the Fiscal Agent, to DTC.

Book-Entry Only System. The 2024 Bonds are being issued as fully registered bonds, registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), and will be available to ultimate purchasers under the book-entry system maintained by DTC.

Ultimate purchasers of 2024 Bonds will not receive physical certificates representing their interest in the 2024 Bonds. So long as the 2024 Bonds are registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, references herein to the Owners will mean Cede & Co., and will not mean the ultimate purchasers of the 2024 Bonds. The Fiscal Agent will make payments of the principal, premium, if any, and interest on the 2024 Bonds directly to DTC, or its nominee, Cede & Co., so long as DTC or Cede & Co. is the registered owner of the 2024 Bonds. Disbursements of such payments to DTC’s Participants are the responsibility of DTC and disbursements of such payments to the Beneficial Owners are the responsibility of DTC’s Participants and Indirect Participants, as more fully described herein. See “APPENDIX G – DTC AND THE BOOK-ENTRY ONLY SYSTEM.”
Calculation and Payment of Interest. Interest on the 2024 Bonds will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Interest on the 2024 Bonds (including the final interest payment upon maturity or earlier redemption) is payable by check of the Fiscal Agent mailed on each Interest Payment Date by first class mail to the registered Owner thereof at such registered Owner’s address as it appears on the registration books maintained by the Fiscal Agent at the close of business on the 15th day of the month preceding the month in which the Interest Payment Date occurs whether or not such day is a Business Day (the “Record 9 Date”) preceding the Interest Payment Date, or by wire transfer made on such Interest Payment Date upon written instructions received by the Fiscal Agent on or before the Record Date preceding the Interest Payment Date, of any Owner of $1,000,000 or more in aggregate principal amount of 2024 Bonds; provided that so long as any 2024 Bonds are in book-entry form, payments with respect to such 2024 Bonds will be made by wire transfer, or such other method acceptable to the Fiscal Agent, to DTC. See “APPENDIX G – DTC AND THE BOOK-ENTRY ONLY SYSTEM.”
Each 2024 Bond will bear interest from the Interest Payment Date next preceding the date of authentication thereof unless (i) it is authenticated on an Interest Payment Date, in which event it will bear interest from such date of authentication, or (ii) it is authenticated prior to an Interest Payment Date and after the close of business on the Record Date preceding such Interest Payment Date, in which event it will bear interest from such Interest Payment Date, or (iii) it is authenticated prior to the Record Date preceding the first Interest Payment Date, in which event it will bear interest from the Dated Date; provided, however, that if at the time of authentication of a 2024 Bond, interest is in default thereon, such 2024 Bond will bear interest from the Interest Payment Date to which interest has previously been paid or made available for payment thereon.

So long as the 2024 Bonds are registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, payments of the principal, premium, if any, and interest on the 2024 Bonds will be made directly to DTC, or its nominee, Cede & Co. Disbursements of such payments to DTC’s Participants are the responsibility of DTC and disbursements of such payments to the Beneficial Owners are the responsibility of DTC’s Participants and Indirect Participants, as more fully described herein. See “APPENDIX G – DTC AND THE BOOK-ENTRY ONLY SYSTEM.”

See “SPECIAL RISK FACTORS – Potential Early Redemption of Bonds from Prepayments” for a discussion of the potential for the 2024 Bonds to be priced with original issue premium and then be redeemed from Special Tax prepayments prior to maturity.

Mandatory Sinking Fund Redemption. The Term 2024 Bonds maturing September 1, 20__ and September 1, 20__ are subject to mandatory sinking payment redemption in part on September 1, 20__ and September 1, 20__, respectively, and on each September 1 thereafter to maturity, by lot, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed, without premium, in the aggregate respective principal amounts as set forth in the following tables:

11 The amounts in the foregoing tables will be reduced pro rata, in order to maintain substantially uniform debt service, as a result of any prior partial optional redemption or mandatory redemption of the 2024 Bonds.

Purchase In Lieu of Redemption. In lieu of redemption, moneys in the Bond Fund may be used and withdrawn by the Fiscal Agent for purchase of Outstanding 2024 Bonds, upon the filing with the Fiscal Agent of an Officer’s Certificate requesting such purchase, at public or private sale as and when, and at such prices (including brokerage and other charges) as such Officer’s Certificate may provide, but in no event may 2024 Bonds be purchased at a price in excess of the principal amount thereof, plus interest accrued to the date of purchase.

Redemption Procedure by Fiscal Agent. The Fiscal Agent will cause notice of any redemption to be mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, at least 20 days but not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, to the Securities Depositories and to one or more Information Services, and to the respective registered Owners of any 2024 Bonds designated for redemption, at their addresses appearing on the registration books in the Principal Office of the Fiscal Agent; but such mailing is not a condition precedent to such redemption and failure to mail or to receive any such notice, or any defect therein, will not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of such 2024 Bonds.

Such notice will state the redemption date and the redemption price and, if less than all of the then Outstanding 2024 Bonds are to be called for redemption, will designate the CUSIP numbers and bond numbers of the 2024 Bonds to be redeemed by giving the individual CUSIP number and bond number of each 2024 Bond to be redeemed or will state that all 2024 Bonds between two stated bond numbers, both inclusive, are to be redeemed or that all of the 2024 Bonds of one or more maturities have been called for redemption, will state as to any 2024 Bond called in part the principal amount thereof to be redeemed, and will require that such 2024 Bonds be then surrendered at the Principal Office of the Fiscal Agent for redemption at the said redemption price, and will state that further interest on such 2024 Bonds will not accrue from and after the redemption date.

The City has the right to rescind any notice of the optional redemption of 2024 Bonds and such notice may be cancelled and annulled if for any reason funds will not be or are not available on the date fixed for redemption for the payment in full of the 2024 Bonds then called for redemption.

Whenever provision is made in the Fiscal Agent Agreement for the redemption of less than all of the 2024 Bonds of any maturity, the City will select the 2024 Bonds to be redeemed, from all 2024 Bonds or such given portion thereof of such maturity by lot in any manner which the City in its sole discretion deems appropriate. Upon surrender of 2024 Bonds redeemed in part only, the City will execute and the Fiscal Agent will authenticate and deliver to the registered Owner, at the expense of the City, a new 2024 Bond or 2024 Bonds, of the same series and maturity, of authorized denominations in aggregate principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the 2024 Bond or 2024 Bonds.

Effect of Redemption. From and after the date fixed for redemption, if funds available for the payment of the principal of, and interest and any premium on, the 2024 Bonds so called for redemption are deposited in the Bond Fund, such 2024 Bonds so called will cease to be entitled to any benefit under the Fiscal Agent Agreement other than the right to receive payment of the redemption price, and no interest will accrue thereon on or after the redemption date specified in such notice.
12 Transfer or Exchange of Bonds
So long as the 2024 Bonds are registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, transfers and exchanges of 2024 Bonds will be made in accordance with DTC procedures. See “APPENDIX G – DTC AND THE BOOK-ENTRY ONLY SYSTEM.” Any 2024 Bond may, in accordance with its terms, be transferred or exchanged by the person in whose name it is registered, in person or by his duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of such 2024 Bond for cancellation, accompanied by delivery of a duly written instrument of transfer in a form approved by the Fiscal Agent. Whenever any 2024 Bond or 2024 Bonds are surrendered for transfer or exchange, the City will execute and the Fiscal Agent will authenticate and deliver a new 2024 Bond or 2024 Bonds, for a like aggregate principal amount of 2024 Bonds of authorized denominations and of the same maturity. The cost for any services rendered or any fees or expenses incurred by the Fiscal Agent in connection with any such transfer or exchange will be paid by the City. The Fiscal Agent will collect from the Owner requesting such transfer any tax or other governmental charge required to be paid with respect to such transfer or exchange. No transfers or exchanges of 2024 Bonds will be required to be made (i) within 15 days prior to the date established by the Fiscal Agent for selection of 2024 Bonds for redemption or (ii) with respect to a 2024 Bond after such 2024 Bond has been selected for redemption.

The Bonds (consisting of the 2024 Bonds and any Additional Bonds that may be issued in the future) are payable from and secured by proceeds of the Special Taxes received by the City, including all scheduled payments and delinquent payments thereof, interest and proceeds of the redemption or sale of property sold as a result of foreclosure of the lien of the Special Taxes (but excluding any interest in excess of the interest due on the Bonds or any penalties collected in connection with any such foreclosure), and net of a 1% administration charge of the County (the “Special Tax Revenues”). All of the Special Tax Revenues and all moneys deposited in the Bond Fund and, until disbursed as provided herein, in the Special Tax Fund are pledged to secure the repayment of the Bonds. In addition, with respect to each Series of Bonds, all moneys in the applicable Reserve Account within the Reserve Fund for such Series is pledged to secure the repayment of the applicable Series, such that amounts in the 2024 Reserve Account are pledged to the 2024 Bonds. The Special Tax Revenues and all moneys deposited into such funds (except as otherwise provided in the Fiscal Agent Agreement) are dedicated to the payment of the principal of, including any mandatory sinking fund payments, and interest and any premium on, the Bonds as provided in the Fiscal Agent Agreement and in the Act until all of the Bonds have been paid and retired or defeased in accordance with the Fiscal Agent Agreement.

A Special Tax applicable to each taxable parcel in Improvement Area No. 1 will be levied and collected according to the tax amount determined by application of the Rate and Method administered by Willdan Financial Services, Temecula, California (the “Special Tax Administrator”) and set forth in APPENDIX A hereto for all taxable properties in Improvement Area No. 1. Prior to remittance of the Special Tax collections to the City, the County deducts and retains a 1% County administration fee, as noted above. Interest and principal on the Bonds is payable from the annual Special Tax Revenues to be paid to the City from Special Tax levies and collections on taxable property within Improvement Area No. 1, from amounts held in certain funds 13 and accounts established under the Fiscal Agent Agreement and from the proceeds, if any, from the sale of such property for delinquency of such Special Taxes.

The Special Taxes are exempt from the property tax limitation of Article XIIIA of the California Constitution, pursuant to Section 4 thereof as a “special tax” authorized by a two-thirds vote of the qualified electors. The levy of the Special Taxes was authorized by the City Council, as legislative body of the District, pursuant to the Act in an amount determined according to the Rate and Method. See “– Special Tax Methodology” below and APPENDIX A.

The amount of Special Taxes that the City may levy in any year, and from which principal and interest on the Bonds is to be paid, is strictly limited by the maximum rates approved by the qualified electors within Improvement Area No. 1, which is set forth in the Rate and Method.

Under the Rate and Method, Special Taxes for the purpose of making payments on the Bonds will be levied annually in an amount not in excess of the maximum approved amount. The Special Taxes and any interest earned on the Special Taxes constitute a trust fund for the principal of and interest on the Bonds pursuant to the Fiscal Agent Agreement and, so long as the principal of and interest on these obligations remains unpaid, the Special Taxes and investment earnings thereon will not be used for any other purpose, except as permitted by the Fiscal Agent Agreement, and will be held in trust for the benefit of the owners thereof and will be applied pursuant to the Fiscal Agent Agreement. The Rate and Method apportions the Annual Facilities Costs (as defined in the Rate and Method and described below) among the taxable parcels of real property within Improvement Area No. 1 according to the rate and methodology set forth in the Rate and Method.

See “– Special Tax Methodology” below. See also “APPENDIX A – RATE AND METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF SPECIAL TAX.”
The City may levy the Special Tax up to the amount of the Maximum Annual Facilities Special Tax set forth in the Rate and Method, if conditions so require. The City has covenanted to annually levy the Special Taxes in an amount at least sufficient to pay the Annual Facilities Costs (as defined below). Because each Special Tax levy is limited to the Maximum Annual Facilities Special Tax rates authorized as set forth in the Rate and Method, no assurance can be given that, in the event of Special Tax delinquencies, the amount of the Annual Facilities Costs will in fact be collected in any given year. In addition, Section 53321(d) of the Act provides that the special tax levied against any parcel for which an occupancy permit for private residential use has been issued may not be increased as a consequence of delinquency or default by the owner of any other parcel within a community facilities district by more than 10% above the amount that would have been levied in such Fiscal Year had there never been any such delinquencies or defaults. See “SPECIAL RISK FACTORS – Tax Delinquencies” herein. The Special Taxes are collected for the City by the County in the same manner and at the same time as ad valorem property taxes.

Special Tax Methodology
Pursuant to the Rate and Method, a “Facilities Special Tax” will be levied and collected until the earlier of (i) the Transition Year (defined herein) or (ii) Fiscal Year 2088-89, and a “Maintenance Special Tax” will be levied and collected in perpetuity beginning in the Transition Year. Only the “Facilities Special Tax” is pledged to the payment of the Bonds, and the definition of “Special Taxes” used in the Fiscal Agent Agreement and this Official Statement refers only to the “Facilities Special Tax” levied in accordance with the Rate and Method. Capitalized terms set forth in this section and not otherwise defined have the meanings set forth in the Rate and Method. 14 Determination of Annual Facilities Costs. Each year, the City will determine the Annual Facilities Costs for the upcoming Fiscal Year. The “Annual Facilities Costs” includes the following amounts (less any available earnings on any reserve fund, special tax funds, available capitalized interest or any other available revenues):
(i) Debt Service to be paid from Facilities Special Taxes; (ii) the amount needed to replenish bond reserve funds to the level required by Bond documents, to the extent not included in a computation of Annual Facilities Costs in a previous Fiscal Year;
(iii) Administrative Expenses for such Fiscal Year;
(iv) the amount needed to (1) cure any delinquencies in the payment of principal or interest on Bonds which have occurred in the prior Fiscal Year, and (2) fund any foreseeable deficiency of the amount to be available for the payment of principal or interest on Bonds which are expected to occur in such Fiscal Year, in each case to the extent not already included in the calculation of Annual Facilities Costs in the current or any previous Fiscal Year;
(vi) pay-as-you-go expenditures for authorized improvements; and (vii) during the Deferral Bonding Period, the amount needed to pay Development Impact Fee Deferrals not financed by Bonds.

The Annual Facilities Costs is the basis for the amount of Special Tax to be levied within Improvement Area No. 1. In no event may the City levy a Special Tax in any year above the Maximum Annual Facilities Special Tax identified for each parcel in the Rate and Method.

Parcels Subject to the Facilities Special Tax. The Rate and Method identifies various large-lot taxable parcels planned for residential uses within the boundary of Improvement Area No. 1, which large-lot parcels have been final map subdivided into the 481 residential lot in Improvement Area No. 1. Each fiscal year, the City will prepare a list of the then-current parcels subject to the Special Tax using the records of the City and the County Assessor, and will tax such parcels in accordance with the Rate and Method. Taxable parcels that are acquired by a public agency in the future will remain subject to the Facilities Special Tax unless a “trade” resulting in no loss of Facilities Special Tax revenue can be made, as described in the Rate and Method.

Limitation on Increases in Levy of Facilities Special Tax. If owners are delinquent in the payment of Facilities Special Taxes, the City may not increase Facilities Special Tax levies to make up for delinquencies for prior Fiscal Years above the Maximum Facilities Special Tax rates specified for each category of property within Improvement Area No. 1. In addition, Section 53321(d) of the Act provides that the special tax levied against any parcel for which an occupancy permit for private residential use has been issued may not be increased as a consequence of delinquency or default by the owner of any other parcel within a community facilities district by more than 10% above the amount that would have been levied in such Fiscal Year had there never been any such delinquencies or defaults. In cases of significant delinquency, these factors may result in defaults in the payment of principal of and interest on the Bonds. See “SPECIAL RISK FACTORS.”
15 Duration of the Facilities Special Tax; Transition Year. The Facilities Special Tax will be levied and collected (up to maximum allowable amount) until the earlier of (i) the Transition Year or (ii) Fiscal Year 2088-89. For purposes of Improvement Area No. 1, “Transition Year” means the first Fiscal Year following the Fiscal Year in which the Transition Event occurred, and “Transition Event” means the earlier of (i) after the Initial Bonding Period, the Fiscal Year in which the Administrator determines the Development Impact Fee Deferral has been repaid in full to the City and the City determines funding is no longer needed for Annual Facilities Costs, or (ii) Fiscal Year 2088-89. “Initial Bonding Period” means the period in which Bonds are outstanding or refunded which financed Authorized Facilities (as defined in the Rate and Method) costs or refunded prior Bonds, other than the Development Impact Fee Deferral.

Prepayment of the Facilities Special Tax. The Rate and Method provides that residential parcels may prepay up to 50% of the Facilities Special Tax by a cash settlement with the City. The amount of the prepayment required is to be calculated according to a formula set forth in the Rate and Method, which is generally based on the net present value of the remaining years in which the Facilities Special Tax will be collected, including the effect of a 2% per year escalation factor applicable for the time Bonds remain outstanding using a discount rate equal to the most current yield for the 30-year Treasury Constant Maturity as the discount factor, plus an amount representing the Development Impact Fee Deferral Amount (which amount is not available for prepayment of the Bonds), all as described in Section 8 of the Rate and Method set forth in APPENDIX A. Prepayment is only allowed if the City determines that the prepayment does not jeopardize its ability to make timely payments of debt service on outstanding Bonds, and the City maintains at least 110% debt service coverage on the outstanding Bonds.

Reduction of the Maximum Annual Facilities Special Tax Prior to First Bond Sale.

The Rate and Method includes a provision that, at the request of the developer/builders, the Maximum Annual Special Taxes set forth in the Rate and Method could be reduced once prior to the first sale of special tax bonds for Improvement Area No. 1. This provision was not utilized, and is no longer applicable, given the issuance and sale of the 2024 Bonds.

Levy of Annual Special Tax; Maximum Special Tax
General. The annual Special Tax will be calculated by the City and levied to provide money for debt service on the Bonds, replenishment of Reserve Accounts established within the Reserve Fund for each Series of Bonds, certain delinquencies, administration of the District (including Improvement Area No. 1), and for payment of pay-as-you-go expenditures (to the extent permitted by the City) of the authorized public capital facilities not funded from Bond proceeds. In no event may the City levy a Special Tax in any year above the maximum identified for each taxable parcel in the Rate and Method.

Annual Special Tax Levy. The Special Tax will be levied each year by calculating the amount needed to be generated by all Taxable Parcels in Improvement Area No. 1; the Special Tax (up to the maximum allowable amount) will be levied against each Taxable Parcel until the Special Tax revenue equals such amount; however, the Rate and Method establishes a priority for which properties will be levied a Special Tax. First, all “Developed Parcels” in Improvement Area No. 1 receive a levy. “Developed Parcel” for single-family parcels is defined in the Rate and Method as a parcel for which a Final Small Lot Subdivision Map was recorded before May 1 of the preceding Fiscal Year. If additional amounts are needed, a levy is made against each “Small Lot Tentative Map Parcel” in Improvement Area No. 1, then each “Large Lot Parcel” in Improvement Area No. 1, then each “Undeveloped Parcel” in Improvement Area No. 1, however 16 presently, all 481 lots comprising Improvement Area No. 1 are Developed Parcels. See “APPENDIX A – RATE AND METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF SPECIAL TAX.” The City covenants in the Fiscal Agent Agreement to fix and levy the amount of Special Taxes within Improvement Area No. 1 required for the payment of principal of and interest on any outstanding Bonds of Improvement Area No. 1 becoming due and payable during the ensuing year, including any necessary replenishment or expenditure of the Reserve Fund for the Bonds and an amount estimated to be sufficient to pay the Administrative Expenses during such year, all in accordance with the Rate and Method. The Special Tax is authorized to be levied in an amount not to exceed the Maximum Special Tax levy as described in the Rate and Method notwithstanding that a lower amount is sufficient to pay debt service on the Bonds. The Rate and Method provides a mechanism whereby the City may utilize the pay-as-you-go component to pay for and/or reimburse developers for a portion of the cost of Improvements not funded by proceeds of the bonds issued for Improvement Area No. 1. Proceeds of the annual Special Tax levy will first be used to pay the “Annual Facilities Costs” (which include debt service payments on the Bonds) other than pay-as-you-go expenditures, and the City contemplates that the levy will include a pay-as-you-go component in an amount equal to the Maximum Annual Facilities Special Tax on Developed Parcels, for deposit into the Improvement Fund for authorized costs not funded from Bond proceeds. See “SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE BONDS – Special Tax Methodology” above. See “APPENDIX A – RATE AND METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF SPECIAL TAX” for a copy of the Rate and Method.

Annual Escalation of Facilities Special Tax. The Facilities Special Tax escalates by 2% per fiscal year until the Transition Event, and thereafter will no longer be levied. See “APPENDIX A – RATE AND METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF SPECIAL TAX” and for a table showing the expected land uses and assigned Maximum Special Taxes, see “Attachment 2” in such Appendix.

Special Tax Fund
When received, the Special Tax Revenues are required under the Fiscal Agent Agreement to be deposited into a Special Tax Fund to be held by the City in trust for the benefit of the City and the Owners of the Bonds. Within the Special Tax Fund, the City has established and will maintain the Surplus Account, to the credit of which the City will deposit surplus Special Tax Revenue, if any, as described below. Moneys in the Special Tax Fund will be disbursed as provided below and, pending any disbursement, will be subject to a lien in favor of the Owners of the Bonds.

All Special Tax Revenue will be deposited in the Special Tax Fund upon receipt. Prior to each Interest Payment Date, the City will withdraw from the Special Tax Fund and transfer (i) to the Fiscal Agent for deposit in the reserve accounts of the Reserve Fund, an amount which when added to the amount then on deposit therein is equal to the Reserve Requirement with respect to each series of Bonds, and (ii) to the Fiscal Agent for deposit in the Bond Fund an amount, taking into account any amounts then on deposit in the Bond Fund, such that the amount in the Bond Fund equals the principal, premium, if any, and interest due on the Bonds on the next Interest Payment Date; provided, however, that as soon as practicable after the receipt by the City of any prepayments of Special Taxes, but no later than 10 Business Days after such receipt, the City shall transfer such prepayments to the Fiscal Agent for deposit into the Prepayment Account of the Bond Fund to be used for the redemption of bonds. At such time as deposits to the Special Tax Fund equal the principal, premium if any, and interest becoming due on the Bonds for the current Bond Year and the amount needed to restore the reserve accounts of the Reserve Fund 17 balance to the Reserve Requirement with respect to each series of Bonds, the amount in the Special Tax Fund in excess of such amount may, at the discretion of the City, be transferred to the Surplus Account, which will occur on or after September 2nd of each year. From time to time, the City may withdraw from the Surplus Account of the Special Tax Fund amounts needed to pay the City’s administrative expenses and County fees; provided that such transfers will not be in excess of the portion of the Special Tax Revenues collected by the City that represent levies for administrative expenses. Moneys in the Surplus Account may also be transferred, at the City’s discretion, to the Improvement Fund to pay for costs of the Improvements (including reimbursements to developers for the cost of Improvements not funded from proceeds of Bonds issued for Improvement Area No. 1) or authorized facility contributions, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds or to replenish amounts in the Reserve Fund.

Delinquent Payments of Special Tax; Covenant for Superior Court Foreclosure The Special Tax will be collected in the same manner and the same time as ad valorem property taxes, except at the City’s option, the Special Taxes may be billed directly to property owners or collected at a different time to meet the City’s financial obligations. In the event of a delinquency in the payment of any installment of Special Taxes, the City is authorized by the Act to order institution of an action in superior court to foreclose the lien therefor.

The City has covenanted in the Fiscal Agent Agreement with and for the benefit of the Owners of the Bonds that it will annually on or before September 1 of each year review the public records of the County relating to the collection of the Special Tax in order to determine the amount of the Special Tax collected in the prior fiscal year, and if the City determines on the basis of such review that
(a) the amount so collected is deficient by more than 5% of the total amount of the Special Tax levied in Improvement Area No. 1 in such Fiscal Year, then the City will institute, prosecute and pursue such foreclosure proceedings in the time and manner provided herein against each such property owner in the time and manner provided below; or
(b) the amount so collected is deficient by less than 5% of the total amount of the Special Tax levied in Improvement Area No. 1 in such Fiscal Year, but property owned by any single property owner in Improvement Area No. 1 is delinquent cumulatively by an amount equal to four installment payments with respect to the current and past Special Tax due, then the City will institute, prosecute and pursue such foreclosure proceedings in the time and manner provided herein against each such property owner in the time and manner provided below.

The City shall within 30 days thereafter send a written demand letter to the delinquent parcel(s) and lender of record, if any, as the first step in instituting foreclosure proceedings as authorized by the Mello-Roos Act in order to enforce the lien of the delinquent installment of the Special Tax on each such parcel, and shall thereafter diligently prosecute and pursue such foreclosure proceedings to judgment and sale in such manner and upon such timing as advised by legal counsel, taking into account the amounts delinquent, the estimate cost of legal proceedings, the status of Special Tax collections and available debt service reserves.

Additionally notwithstanding any of the foregoing, in certain instances the amount of a Special Tax delinquency on a particular parcel in relation to the cost of appropriate foreclosure proceedings may be such that the costs do not warrant the foreclosure proceedings costs. In such 18 cases, foreclosure proceedings may be delayed by the City until there are sufficient Special Tax delinquencies accruing to such parcel (including interest and penalties thereon) to warrant the cost of such foreclosure proceedings.

Under the Act, foreclosure proceedings are instituted by the bringing of an action in the superior court of the county in which the parcel lies, naming the owner and other interested persons as defendants. The action is prosecuted in the same manner as other civil actions. In such action, the real property subject to the special taxes may be sold at a judicial foreclosure sale for a minimum price that will be sufficient to pay or reimburse the delinquent special taxes.

The owners of the Bonds benefit from the Reserve Fund established pursuant to the Fiscal Agent Agreement; however, if delinquencies in the payment of the Special Taxes with respect to the Bonds are significant enough to completely deplete the Reserve Fund, there could be a default or a delay in payments of principal and interest to the owners of the Bonds pending prosecution of foreclosure proceedings and receipt by the City of the proceeds of foreclosure sales. Provided that it is not levying the Special Tax at the Maximum Annual Facilities Special Tax rates set forth in the Rate and Method, the City may adjust the Special Taxes levied on all property within Improvement Area No. 1 subject to the Special Tax to provide an amount required to pay debt service on the Bonds and to replenish the Reserve Fund. However, such adjustment is subject to the Maximum Annual Facilities Special Tax and to the limitation described under the caption “– Special Tax Methodology” above.

Under current law, a judgment debtor (property owner) has at least 120 days from the date of service of the notice of levy to redeem the property to be sold. If a judgment debtor fails to redeem and the property is sold, his or her only remedy is an action to set aside the sale, which must be brought within 90 days of the date of sale. If, as a result of such an action a foreclosure sale is set aside, the judgment is revived and the judgment creditor is entitled to interest on the revived judgment as if the sale had not been made (California Code of Civil Procedure Section 701.680).

Foreclosure by court action is subject to normal litigation delays, the nature and extent of which are largely dependent upon the nature of the defense, if any, put forth by the debtor and the condition of the calendar of the superior court of the county. Such foreclosure actions can be stayed by the superior court on generally accepted equitable grounds or as the result of the debtor’s filing for relief under the Federal bankruptcy laws. The Act provides that, upon foreclosure, the Special Tax lien will have the same lien priority as is provided for ad valorem taxes and special assessments. See “VALUE OF PROPERTY WITHIN IMPROVEMENT AREA NO. 1 – Priority of Lien.”
No assurances can be given that the real property subject to a judicial foreclosure sale will be sold or, if sold, that the proceeds of sale will be sufficient to pay any delinquent Special Tax installment. The Act does not require the City to purchase or otherwise acquire any lot or parcel of property foreclosed upon if there is no other purchaser at such sale.

Section 53356.6 of the Act requires that property sold pursuant to foreclosure under the Act be sold for not less than the amount of judgment in the foreclosure action, plus post-judgment interest and authorized costs, unless the consent of the owners of at least 75% of the outstanding Bonds is obtained. However, under Section 53356.6 of the Act, the City, as judgment creditor, is entitled to purchase any property sold at foreclosure using a “credit bid,” where the City could submit a bid crediting all or part of the amount required to satisfy the judgment for the delinquent amount of the Special Tax. If the City becomes the purchaser under a credit bid, the City must 19 pay the amount of its credit bid into the redemption fund established for the Bonds, but this payment may be made up to 24 months after the date of the foreclosure sale. 2024 Reserve Account of Reserve Fund
A debt service reserve fund has been established under the Fiscal Agent Agreement (the “Reserve Fund”), and within the Reserve Fund, separate reserve accounts are being established for each series of Bonds. Accordingly, at the time of issuance of the 2024 Bonds, a reserve account will be established within the Reserve Fund for the benefit of the holders of the 2024 Bonds (the “2024 Reserve Account”). The 2024 Reserve Account is available solely for the payment of debt service on the 2024 Bonds and no other parity obligations.

Upon delivery of the 2024 Bonds, the Fiscal Agent will deposit an amount of the proceeds into the 2024 Reserve Account of the Reserve Fund so that the amount therein equals the “Reserve Requirement,” which means, with respect to any series of Bonds, the least of (i) 125% of the average Annual Debt Service with respect to the applicable series of Bonds; (ii) Maximum Annual Debt Service with respect to the applicable series of Bonds; and (iii) 10% of the original principal amount of the applicable series of Bonds (or, if the applicable series of Bonds has more than a de minimis amount of original issue discount or premium, 10% of the issue price of such series of Bonds); provided, that—
(a) the Reserve Requirement for the 2024 Bonds shall not increase after the date of issuance of the 2024 Bonds;
(b) in no event shall the City be obligated to deposit an amount in any reserve account in excess of the amount permitted by the applicable provisions of the Code to be so deposited from the proceeds of tax-exempt bonds without having to restrict the yield of any investment purchased with any portion of such deposit and, if the amount of any such deposit is so limited, the Reserve Requirement shall be only the amount of such deposit as permitted by the Code; and
(c) the City may meet all or a portion of the Reserve Requirement with respect to any series of Bonds by depositing a Qualified Reserve Fund Credit Instrument.

As noted above, for each series of Additional Bonds, the Fiscal Agent shall establish a separate subaccount within the Reserve Fund for such series and moneys in each subaccount shall be held in trust by the Fiscal Agent for the benefit of the Owners of the respective series of Bonds.

The City has the right to either meet the Reserve Requirement at the time of issuance of a series of Bonds or at any time thereafter to cause the Fiscal Agent to release cash from the Reserve Fund, in whole or in part, by tendering to the Fiscal Agent: (1) a Qualified Reserve Fund Credit Instrument, and (2) in the case of a release, an opinion of Bond Counsel stating that such release will not, of itself, cause the portion of the interest on the Bonds secured thereby to become includable in gross income for purposes of federal income taxation. Upon tender of such items to the Fiscal Agent in connection with a release of cash, the Fiscal Agent will transfer such funds to the City. Prior to the expiration of any Qualified Reserve Fund Credit Instrument, if applicable, the City is obligated either to replace such Qualified Reserve Fund Credit Instrument with a new Qualified Reserve Fund Credit Instrument, or to deposit or cause to be deposited with the Fiscal Agent an amount of funds such that the funds on deposit in the Reserve Fund together with all Qualified Reserve Fund Credit Instruments held by the Fiscal Agent is at 20 least equal to the Reserve Requirement (which funds may come from a draw by the Fiscal Agent on the Qualified Reserve Fund Credit Instrument prior to its expiration). “Qualified Reserve Fund Credit Instrument” means an irrevocable standby or directpay letter of credit or surety bond issued by a commercial bank or insurance company and deposited with the Fiscal Agent, provided that all of the following requirements are met: (a) the long-term credit rating of such bank or insurance company is rated in the top two categories (without regard to modifier) by S&P Global Ratings, a business unit of Standard & Poor’sor Moody’s Investor Service, Inc. at the time of issuance; (b) such letter of credit or surety bond has a term of at least 12 months; (c) such letter of credit or surety bond has a stated amount at least equal to the portion of the Reserve Requirement being met by such instrument or with respect to which funds are proposed to be released pursuant to the Fiscal Agent Agreement; and (d) the Fiscal Agent is authorized pursuant to the terms of such letter of credit or surety bond to draw thereunder an amount equal to any deficiencies which may exist from time to time in the Bond Fund for the purpose of making payments required pursuant to the Fiscal Agent Agreement.

Whenever, on the Business Day prior to any Interest Payment Date, the amount in any reserve account within the Reserve Fund exceeds the Reserve Requirement for the applicable series of Bonds covered by such reserve account, the Fiscal Agent shall provide written notice to the Chief Financial Officer of the amount of the excess. The Chief Financial Officer shall advise the Fiscal Agent in writing of the amount, if any, of any transfer required pursuant to the Fiscal Agent Agreement, and otherwise direct the Fiscal Agent to transfer an amount equal to the excess to the Improvement Fund, if the Project has not been completed as of the date of such transfer, or if the Project has been completed, to the Bond Fund to be used for the payment of the principal of and interest on the Outstanding Bonds covered by the applicable reserve account in accordance with the Fiscal Agent Agreement; provided, that to the extent that such excess results from the prepayment of Special Taxes and redemption of Bonds, such amount shall be transferred to the Prepayment Account and applied to the corresponding redemption of Bonds.

Whenever the balance in the Reserve Fund exceeds the amount required to redeem or pay the Outstanding Bonds, including interest accrued to the date of payment or redemption and premium, if any, due upon redemption, and make any other transfer required under the Fiscal Agent Agreement, the Fiscal Agent will transfer the amount in the Reserve Fund to the Bond Fund to be applied, on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, to the payment and redemption of all of the Outstanding Bonds. If the amount so transferred from the Reserve Fund to the Bond Fund exceeds the amount required to pay and redeem the Outstanding Bonds, the balance in the Reserve Fund will be transferred to the City, after payment of any amounts due the Fiscal Agent, to be used for any lawful purpose of the City.

Improvement Fund
Under the Fiscal Agent Agreement, there is established an Improvement Fund, which is to be held in trust by the Fiscal Agent and will be disbursed as provided in the Fiscal Agent Agreement for the payment or reimbursement of the costs of the construction and acquisition of the Improvements in accordance with the Acquisition Agreement (as described herein). Interest earnings from the investment of amounts in the Improvement Fund will be retained in the Improvement Fund to be used for the purposes of the Improvement Fund.

Upon completion of the Improvements and payment to the Master Developer or other entities that are due reimbursement for Improvements, the Fiscal Agent will transfer the amount, 21 if any, remaining in the Improvement Fund to the Bond Fund for application to the payment of principal of and interest on the Bonds in accordance with the Fiscal Agent Agreement, and the Improvement Fund will be closed.

Future Parity Bonds
The proceedings conducted under the Act for the District and Improvement Area No. 1 authorize the issuance of up to $124,000,000 of special tax bonds for Improvement Area No. 1, of which the 2024 Bonds represent the first series. The 2024 Bonds are being sized to 110% debt service coverage from Maximum Special Tax Revenues (net of the County’s tax collection charge of 1%). Therefore, based on the current land uses and special tax rates in the District, there is not expected to be capacity for Additional Bonds, including to pay for the Development Impact Fee Deferral, until the 2024 Bonds have been refunded or mature.

Additional Bonds may be issued upon compliance by the City with the conditions set forth in the Fiscal Agent Agreement, which include the following:
(i) There shall be deposited into a reserve account of the Reserve Fund, an amount at least equal to the Reserve Requirement with respect to such Additional Bonds. (ii) After giving effect to the issuance of the Additional Bonds, for each Bond Year the Additional Bonds are Outstanding, projected Special Tax Revenues, if levied at the maximum annual Special Tax rates per the Rate and Method, in each Fiscal Year are at least equal to 110% of Debt Service due in the Bond Year that begins in the corresponding Fiscal Year, as calculated by the special tax consultant to the City. (iii) After giving effect to the issuance of the Additional Bonds, the aggregate value of all parcels in Improvement Area No. 1 subject to the Special Tax, including then existing improvements and any facilities to be constructed or acquired with the proceeds of the Additional Bonds, as determined by an MAI appraisal, assessed valuations shown on the then current County tax roll, or by a combination of both methods, is at least 3.00 times the sum of (1) the aggregate principal amount of all Bonds then Outstanding, plus (2) the aggregate principal amount of the Additional Bonds proposed to be issued, plus (3) the proportionate principal amount of any bonds then outstanding and payable from assessments which are a lien against property in Improvement Area No. 1, plus (4) a portion of the aggregate principal amount of all bonds issued under the Act, other than 2024 Bonds then Outstanding and the Additional Bonds, payable at least partially from special taxes to be levied on parcels of land subject to the Special Tax within Improvement Area No. 1 (the “Other Mello-Roos Bonds”) equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Other Mello-Roos Bonds multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of special taxes levied for the Other Mello-Roos Bonds on parcels of land within Improvement Area No. 1 subject to the Special Tax, and the denominator of which is the total amount of special taxes levied for the Other Mello-Roos Bonds on all parcels of land against which special taxes are levied to pay the Other Mello-Roos Bonds (such fraction to be determined based upon the special taxes which could be levied the year in which the Additional Bonds are issued, as determined by the City), based upon information from the most recent available Fiscal Year.

Additional Bonds may be issued to finance additional improvements, Deferred Impact Fees, and/or to refund outstanding Bonds. Additional Bonds may be issued for the purpose of 22 refunding any outstanding Bonds without meeting the foregoing conditions so long as debt service on the refunding Bonds in each Bond Year is less than debt service on the Bonds refunded.

Nothing in the Fiscal Agent Agreement shall be interpreted to prohibit issuance of bonds secured on a subordinate basis to the 2024 Bonds.

In connection with the approval of development in Improvement Area No. 1, the City has agreed that payment of certain impact fees owed by the Master Developer and merchant builders in Improvement Area No. 1 will be deferred (referred to as the “Development Impact Fee Deferral” in the Rate and Method) to allow payment of the deferred fees after the 2024 Bonds have been fully paid. The City expects to receive payment for the deferred impact fees either through continued collection of Special Taxes or through the issuance of future bonds after the 2024 Bonds have matured. If the City chooses to issue bonds to pay deferred impact fees, the remaining authorization will be available to be utilized by the City as a means therefor. 23 DEBT SERVICE SCHEDULE
The annual debt service on the 2024 Bonds, assuming no early redemptions other than mandatory sinking fund payments, is set forth below.

24 THE AMORUSO RANCH SPECIFIC PLAN
The Amoruso Ranch Specific Plan (“Amoruso Ranch Specific Plan”) is the primary land use, policy and regulatory document used to guide development of land in Improvement Area No. 1 and the surrounding area. The Amoruso Ranch Specific Plan was adopted on June 15, 2016, and then amended on March 18, 2020 and April 20, 2022. The Amoruso Specific Plan establishes a development framework for land use, affordable housing, resource protection, circulation, utilities and services, implementation and design for approximately 694 acres in the northwest portion of the City projected to develop into approximately 2,827 single and multi-family residential units. The land use plan also includes three commercial parcels totaling 51 acres, a 9.6-acre elementary school site, 7 neighborhood parks, and a 3-acre fire station/public facilities site.

Approximately 135 acres will be set aside as open space preserve.

The land in Improvement Area No. 1 consists of approximately 106 acres of land planned for 481 taxable residential units as well as non-taxable residential and public/quasi-public uses.

The intent of the Amoruso Ranch Specific Plan is to promote the systematic and orderly development of the plan area. All subsequent development projects and related activities in the Amoruso Ranch Specific Plan area are required to be consistent with the Amoruso Ranch Specific Plan. The Amoruso Ranch Specific Plan implements the goals and policies of the City of Roseville General Plan and augments these goals and policies by providing specific direction to reflect conditions unique to the project and plan area. The City’s General Plan serves as the long-term policy guide for the physical, economic and environmental growth of the City. The property within the District was included within, and is a component of, the Amoruso Ranch Specific Plan. The full text of the Amoruso Ranch Specific Plan is available on the City’s website.

THE AMORUSO RANCH DEVELOMPENT
The information regarding development of the property contained under this caption has been provided by representatives of the Master Developer, and has not been independently confirmed or verified by the Underwriter or the City. Neither the Underwriter nor the City makes any representation as to the accuracy or adequacy of the information contained under this caption. There may be material adverse changes in this information after the date of this Official Statement. See “SPECIAL RISK FACTORS” herein.

Certain information contained in this section describes the larger Amoruso Ranch Development, which includes land outside Improvement Area No. 1. Only land in Improvement Area No. 1 constitutes security for the 2024 Bonds.

Development Agreement
General. The City entered into a Development Agreement in 2016, which has been amended several times (as amended to date, the “Development Agreement”), with certain prior landowner entities to which the Master Developer has subsequently succeeded with respect to the land being developed by the Master Developer in Improvement Area No. 1 and the surrounding area. The Development Agreement’s purpose is to vest development rights, set forth infrastructure improvements and dedication requirements, secure the timing and methods for financing improvements, and specify other performance obligations as related to development in the Amoruso Ranch Specific Plan area. All of the property in Improvement Area No. 1 is subject to the requirements of the Development Agreement, as well as the Amoruso Ranch Specific Plan. 25 The Development Agreement was entered into in accordance with Sections 65864 through 65869.5 of the California Government Code, as implemented through Article V, Chapter 19.84 of the City’s Zoning Ordinance No. 3014.

The Development Agreement is the primary implementation tool for the Amoruso Ranch Specific Plan and creates a binding contract between the City and the parties thereto, and their assigned successors in interest, which sets forth the needed infrastructure improvements, park dedication requirements, timing and method for financing improvements and other specific performance obligations of the City and the Master Developer and its successors, including obligations related to development of the property in the District, with the terms, conditions, rules, regulations, entitlements, vested rights, and other provisions relating to the development of the property in the District according to the Amoruso Ranch Specific Plan entitlements. Included are provisions relating to infrastructure improvements, public dedication requirements, landscaping amenities, and other obligations of the parties.

The Development Agreement expires in approximately 2049. The Development Agreement runs with the property, and may be modified only by mutual consent of the parties, and in a manner consistent with the Amoruso Ranch Specific Plan. With the Development Agreement in place, subject to compliance with the terms of the Development Agreement, construction of homes within the District may occur upon City approval of subdivision maps, satisfaction of certain design requirements and conditions of such maps and issuance of building permits.

Tract Maps. The large lot specific plan map for the entirety of Amoruso Ranch was recorded with the Placer County Recorder’s Office on December 23, 2002 in Book GG at Page 49 (Document Number 2022-0093073). On August 21, 2023, the Phase 1, Sub-Phase A1 Final Map was recorded with the Placer County Recorder’s Office in Book GG at page 63 (Document Number 2023-0044294) (the “IA No. 1 Final Map”). The IA No. 1 Final Map created 481 singlefamily residential lots, all of which have been conveyed to the merchant builders or their land banks.

Backbone Infrastructure and Other Development Conditions. The Development Agreement requires satisfaction of various items as conditions of development of the Amoruso Ranch Development, including completion of a sewer lift station. All improvements required as a condition of development for Improvement Area No. 1 have been completed. The Master Developer is finishing up work on certain bike paths and landscaping, and a guardrail and concrete barrier on the Conspan Bridge. All remaining work required for the development of Improvement Area No. 1 is estimated to be complete by September 15, 2024.

THE MASTER DEVELOPER
The information regarding the ownership of the property contained under this caption has been provided by the Master Developer, and has not been independently confirmed or verified by the Underwriter or the City. Neither the Underwriter nor the City makes any representation as to the accuracy or adequacy of the information contained under this caption. There may be material adverse changes in this information after the date of this Official Statement. Neither the Bonds nor the Special Taxes securing the Bonds are personal obligations of the Master Developer, any affiliate of the Master Developer, or any other subsequent property owners within Improvement Area No. 1 (including the Merchant Builders), and, in the event that any property owner defaults in the payment of its Special Taxes, the District may proceed with judicial foreclosure of the delinquent land within Improvement Area No. 1 securing the Bonds, but has no direct recourse to any other assets of any property owner or any affiliate thereof. See “SPECIAL RISK FACTORS” herein.

General
Ownership Structure of Master Developer. The Master Developer is Brookfield Sacramento Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. The Master Developer is an indirect subsidiary of Brookfield Homes Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company.

Master Developer Financing Plan
The Master Developer has expended over $75 million dollars on improvements for the Amoruso Ranch Development. Except for some finishing work on bike paths and landscaping, and a guardrail and concrete barrier on the Conspan Bridge (totaling approximately $200,000), all of the work required for the development of Improvement Area No. 1 has been completed. The remaining work is estimated to be complete by September 15, 2024.

In connection with the issuance of the 2024 Bonds, the City and the Master Developer are entering into a Funding, Construction and Acquisition Agreement (the “Acquisition Agreement”) which provides that the Master Developer will construct (or cause to be constructed or funded) 27 various improvements, and the City, upon completion of construction and acceptance (or through progress payments prior to completion of the entire improvement), will purchase the improvements or reimburse the Master Developer for expended amounts from the proceeds of the Bonds and/or Special Taxes on a pay-as-you-go basis. The Master Developer will be responsible for the portion of the cost of construction of the improvements not paid with Bond proceeds and Special Taxes.

The Rate and Method provides that the funding of Improvement costs can also be made from collections of the Special Tax available as the “pay-as-you-go” component of Special Taxes.

The pay-as-you-go funding component is expected to provide for funding of the cost of a portion of the improvements in excess of the amount provided from Bond proceeds (if such proceeds are not sufficient) through annual Special Tax collections in excess of the amount needed to pay the debt service. The City contemplates utilizing this funding mechanism during the time the Bonds are outstanding. Additionally, after the final maturity date of the Bonds and any additional bonds issued to reimburse developers for costs of the improvements, the City expects to continue to levy Special Taxes for payment of the “Development Impact Fee Deferral” (as defined in the Rate and Method) which levy may secure future bonds issued after payment in full of the Bonds and any Additional Bonds.

Notwithstanding the belief of the Master Developer that it will have sufficient funds to complete its planned development, no assurance can be given that sources of financing available to the Master Developer will be sufficient to complete such development as currently anticipated.

While the Master Developer has made internal financing available in the past for similar activities, there can be no assurance whatsoever of its willingness or ability to do so in the future. Neither the Master Developer nor any of its affiliates has any legal obligation of any kind to make any such funds available or to obtain loans or lines of credit. If and to the extent that internal financing, loan proceeds, lines of credit, or bond proceeds are inadequate to pay the costs to complete the Master Developer’s planned development, there could be a shortfall in the funds required to complete such proposed development and portions of such development might not be completed.

MERCHANT BUILDER INFORMATION
The information regarding the ownership of the property contained under this caption has been provided by the respective Merchant Builders, and has not been independently confirmed or verified by the Underwriter or the City. Neither the Underwriter nor the City makes any representation as to the accuracy or adequacy of the information contained under this caption.

There may be material adverse changes in this information after the date of this Official Statement.

Neither the Bonds nor the Special Taxes securing the Bonds are personal obligations of the Merchant Builders, or any other subsequent property owners within Improvement Area No. 1, and, in the event that any property owner defaults in the payment of its Special Taxes, the District may proceed with judicial foreclosure of the delinquent land within Improvement Area No. 1 securing the Bonds, but has no direct recourse to any other assets of any property owner or any affiliate thereof. As a result, other than as provided in this Official Statement, no financial statements or information is, or will be provided about the Merchant Builders or any other current or subsequent property owner. See “SPECIAL RISK FACTORS” herein.

Home construction for D.R. Horton’s two neighborhoods commenced in January 2024. As of May 1, 2024, 38 homes were under construction, included four model homes and 34 production homes. D.R. Horton released the first phase of homes for sale in both neighborhoods in May 2024, closing of homes to individual homebuyers began in June 2024, and expects build-out and closing on the final homes in Improvement Area No. 1 to individual homebuyers by early 2027.

No assurance can be given that home construction and sales will be carried out on the anticipated timeline and according to the plans outlined 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.

D.R. Horton reserves the right to change its development at any time without notice. 30 D.R. Horton Financing Plan. To date, D.R. Horton has funded its land acquisition, site development and home construction costs related to its property in Improvement Area No. 1 through internally generated funds, including funding from its parent company D.R. Horton, Inc. (as defined herein). D.R. Horton expects to use internal funding (which may include home sales revenues from its project in Improvement Area No. 1) to complete its site development, home construction, and marketing and sales of its homes in Improvement Area No. 1. However, home sales revenues from D.R. Horton’s activities in Improvement Area No. 1 are not segregated and set aside for completing its development activities in Improvement Area No. 1. None of the lots within Improvement Area No. 1 owned by D.R. Horton are encumbered by a mortgage or deed of trust.

Although D.R. Horton expects to have sufficient funds available to undertake and complete its development activities in Improvement Area No. 1, there can be no assurance, however, that amounts necessary to finance the remaining development and home construction costs will be available to D.R. Horton when needed. While D.R. Horton, Inc. has made such internal funding available in the past, there can be no assurance whatsoever of its willingness or ability to do so in the future. Neither D.R. Horton nor any other entity or person is under any legal obligation of any kind to expend funds for the development of and construction of homes on D.R. Horton’s property in Improvement Area No. 1. D.R. Horton 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. Any contributions D.R. Horton or any other entity or person to fund the costs of such development are entirely voluntary.

If and to the extent that the aforementioned sources are inadequate to pay the costs to complete the planned development by D.R. Horton within Improvement Area No. 1 and other financing is not put into place, there could be a shortfall in the funds required to complete the proposed development by D.R. Horton or to pay ad valorem property taxes or Special Taxes related to D.R. Horton’s property in Improvement Area No. 1, and the remaining portions of such development may not be completed. Many factors beyond D.R. Horton’s control, or a decision by D.R. Horton to alter its current plans, may cause the actual sources and uses to differ from the projections. See “SPECIAL RISK FACTORS” herein for a discussion of risk factors.

Hearthstone was the first, and is today among the largest institutional investment managers in the country that is dedicated to the residential building industry. At the time Hearthstone was organized in 1992, homebuilders across the United States were suffering from a shortage of capital resulting from changes in federal laws affecting the banking industry and from a loss of investor confidence in real estate. Hearthstone was organized in 1992 in response to changes in federal laws affecting the banking industry that greatly diminished the availability of investment capital for the homebuilding industry and in recognition of the long-term investment opportunity that residential homebuilding presents for institutional investors. Hearthstone manages funds for numerous public and private pension plans, university endowments, Fortune 100 companies, Wall Street investment banks and family offices. Hearthstone invests these funds on behalf of its investors in homebuilding and residential lot development projects with public and private homebuilders in select target markets throughout the United States.

Increasing Mortgage Interest Rates and Banking Uncertainty Most of the purchasers of the Merchant Builders’ homes finance their acquisitions with mortgage financing. As such, rising interest rates, decreased availability of mortgage financing or of certain mortgage programs, higher down payment requirements, or increased monthly mortgage costs could have a negative impact on the estimated absorption rates of the Merchant Builders’ planned for-sale homes in Improvement Area No. 1. Further, a combination of higher mortgage rates, delays in construction stemming from delays in the supply chain, homebuyers’ inability to sell their existing homes and adverse changes in local, regional or national economic conditions, among other factors, could contribute to an increase in the Merchant Builders’ rate of home order cancellations. An increase in the level of such cancellations could similarly have a negative impact on the estimated absorption rates of the Merchant Builders’ planned for-sale homes in Improvement Area No. 1.

The Appraisal
General. Integra Realty Resources, Sacramento, California (the “Appraiser”) prepared an appraisal report with a date of value of May 29, 2024 (the “Appraisal”). The Appraisal was prepared at the request of the City. The Appraisal is set forth in APPENDIX B hereto. The description herein of the Appraisal is intended for limited purposes only; the Appraisal should be read in its entirety.

The conclusions reached in the Appraisal are subject to certain assumptions and qualifications which are set forth in the Appraisal.

Property Appraised. The appraised properties consist of all of the taxable property within Improvement Area No. 1, which consists of 481 taxable lots.

Value Estimates. The Appraisal provides a market value of the appraised property as of the date of value (based on the hypothetical condition the improvements to be financed by the 2024 Bonds were in place as of the date of valuation). The valuation accounts for the impact of the lien of the Special Tax and represents the hypothetical market value (based on the hypothetical condition) of all the land in Improvement Area No. 1. The property appraised excludes property in Improvement Area No. 1 designated for public and quasi-public purposes. 35 The aggregate value estimate for the appraised properties as of the date of value, using the methodologies described in the Appraisal and subject to the limiting conditions and special assumptions and the hypothetical condition set forth in the Appraisal, and based on the ownership of the property as of that date, is $104,659,000. The following table summarizes appraised values for parcels in Improvement Area No. 1.

Hypothetical Condition. The value estimate is subject to a hypothetical condition, defined as that which is contrary to what exists but is supposed for the purposes of analysis. For purposes of the hypothetical condition, the Appraiser assumed that certain proceeds of the 2024 Bonds are available to fund public improvements and/or reimburse for various improvements already completed.

Assumptions and Limiting Conditions. In considering the estimate of value evidenced by the Appraisal, the Appraisal is based upon a number of standard and special assumptions which affect the estimates as to value. For example, the Appraiser has assumed that there is no adverse soil conditions, toxic substances or other environmental hazards that would interfere or inhibit development of the appraised property. Should future conditions and events reduce the level of permitted development or delay the completion of any projected development, the value of the undeveloped land would likely be reduced from that estimated by the Appraiser. See “APPENDIX B – THE APPRAISAL.”
Accordingly, because the Appraiser arrived at an estimate of current market value based upon certain assumptions which may or may not be fulfilled, no assurance can be given that should the parcels become delinquent due to unpaid Special Taxes, and be foreclosed upon and offered for sale for the amount of the delinquency, that any bid would be received for such property or, if a bid is received, that such bid would be sufficient to pay such delinquent Special Taxes.
