For value received, CITY OF UPLAND FINANCING AUTHORITY, a joint powers public financing authority (“Maker”), pursuant to the provisions of this Promissory Note (“Note”), promises to pay to the CITY OF UPLAND WATER FUND, as defined in the Assignment Agreement (the “Assignment Agreement”), dated April 1, 2022 (“Holder”), or order, at 460 North Euclid Avenue, Upland, CA 91785-0460, or such other place as the Holder of this Note may from time to time determine, the amount of Fifteen Million Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($15,750,000), in accordance with the terms of this Note. This Note is secured by an assignment to Holder of the Maker’s right to receive the lease payments due under that certain Lease Agreement dated of even date herewith made between Maker and the City of Upland (“Lease Agreement”) and evidences the assignment of the payment to the Purchasing Funds as described in the Assignment Agreement.

1. Terms and Conditions of Payment.

1.1 Interest. The principal balance of this Note, outstanding from time to time, shall bear at the rate of one and ninety-two one hundredths percent (1.92%) per annum, commencing on April 12, 2022. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a year consisting of 360 days and twelve 30-day months. No amount shall be payable hereunder unless all conditions for the close of escrow have been satisfied under the Lease Agreement.

1.2 Payments.

1.2.1 Annual Note Payments. Commencing on October 1, 2022, and continuing until the Maturity Date (as defined below), annual note payments due on October 1 of each year in the amounts set forth on the attached Schedule 1 incorporated herein shall be due by Maker under this Note (each, a “Note Payment”). Payment is subject to deferral as set out in the Lease Agreement. All payments made under this Note shall be payable in lawful money of the United States of America.

1.2.2 Balance on Maturity Date. The final Note Payment under this Note shall be due and payable on the date that is October 1, 2037 (the “Maturity Date”).

2. Prepayment. Maker shall have the right to prepay this Note on any date by well and truly paying the principal amount owing hereunder with interest accrued to the date of prepayment, without penalty or premium.

3. Late Charge. In the event Maker should fail to make any of the payments due under this Note, the payment in default shall continue as an obligation of Maker until the amount in default shall have been fully paid, and Maker agrees to pay the same with interest thereon, from 30 days after the date of default to the date of payment, at the rate of 4.00% per annum.

5. Nonrecourse. Holder agrees that it will look solely to the Lease Agreement as collateral hereunder to secure the repayment of the indebtedness evidenced hereby. No other property or assets of Maker, or any agency, city, partner, member, or principal of Maker, shall be subject to levy, execution or other enforcement procedure for the satisfaction of the remedies of Holder, or for any payment required to be made under this Note or any other documents related to this Note.

Holder acknowledges that Maker’s revenue is limited to funding provided by the City of Upland Pension Benefits Fund, and that the City funding contributions to Maker are limited solely to income and revenue received by the City from the purchase and sale of property and the moneys appropriated under the Lease Agreement. Maker’s obligation to pay on this Note is a special obligation limited solely to the revenue from these city funding contributions. This Note does not constitute a general pledge of the faith and credit of the Maker, but rather is a special limited obligation of Maker payable solely from the funds provided to Maker from its member cities. Neither the credit nor the taxing power of the Agency is pledged to the payment of the annual payments on this Note and no Holder will have any right to demand payment by the Maker out of any funds or revenue other than funds provided to Maker from the City of Upland.

6. Default. The failure by Maker to make any payment due under this Note within thirty (30) days after written notice from Holder shall be deemed an “Event of Default” under this Note.

7. Remedies Upon Default. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Note, Holder’s sole and exclusive remedy, in lieu of any other remedies available to Holder at law or in equity, shall be as set forth in Section 9.02 of the Lease Agreement. Holder shall not have the right at any time to accelerate any payments due in the future under this Note.

8. Miscellaneous.

8.1 Notices. All notices, demands, consents, requests or other communications required to or permitted to be given pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing, shall be given only in accordance with the provisions of this Section, shall be addressed to the parties in the manner set forth below, and shall be conclusively deemed to have been properly delivered:

None.

3) PROPOSED CFD 2003-2 BOND REFINANCE FOR SAVINGS, Assistant City Manager Parker discussed an opportunity for refunding CFD Bonds already in place at The Colonies at San Antonio and introduced Municipal Advisor Julio Morales with Urban Futures, Inc. Mr. Morales discussed the refunding further and introduced the Proposed Placement Agent Jeff Land with Oppenheimer.

Mr. Land and Mr. Morales shared information about the proposed refunding and answered questions from the Committee. It was clarified that this was not an obligation of the City, but the efforts the City was making to refi nance the CFD bonds would result in an annual savings of approximately $600 per year for the affected property owners.

Chair Elliott requested that when presented to City Council, the fiscal impact section would clarify that the transaction fees incurred by the City shall be paid from the proceeds of the bonds. Chair Elliott made a motion to approve staff’s recommendation, seconded by Committee Member Garcia. The Committee unanimously approved staff’s recommendation.
