Background Report BACKGROUND REPORT SUMMARY At the January 11, 2011 Commission Board meeting, staff presented, and the Commission Board approved, a proposal to issue Tax Allocation Bonds to finance several capital projects as well as low/moderate housing obligations of the Commission. As discussed during the meeting, staff informed the Board of its intent to return to the Board and present the necessary documents to secure bond financing for such improvements. Proceeds for the bond issue will be allocated towards the design and construction of public improvements including the following: 1. Infrastructure Improvements Through the Redevelopment Project Area 2. Low / Moderate Income Housing Obligations BACKGROUND The proposed 2011 Bonds will consist of one tax-exempt bond issue. The bonds will be issued in the approximate principal amount of $45 Million with a term of 21 years. The final interest rate structure will be determined when the 2011 Bonds are priced and sold, which is expected to occur by the fourth week of February. The bond closing and distribution of net proceeds is expected to occur by the first week of March. The estimated net proceeds from the 2011 Bonds consists of approximately $21 million in non -housing proceeds and approximately $15 million in housing proceeds, after funding a debt service reserve account, underwriter's discount, and paying all costs of issuance. The 2011 Bonds will be issued on a parity basis with the Commission's outstanding 2004 & 2005 Bonds, such that the issue will have an equal right to net tax increment of the Commission, for purposes of security of debt service payments. DISCUSSION Structure of the Tax Allocation Bonds The Commission will issue fixed rate bonds that will amortize over 21 years. The interest rate on the bonds will be fixed at approximately 7.5%. The Bonds will be secured by current and future tax increment revenues. Our expectation is that the bonds would bear a rating of "A-". Amount of Tax Allocation Bonds issued The Commission intends to issue the Bonds to finance the public improvements within the project areas and low/moderate income housing obligations.

This Introduction contains a brief summary of certain information contained in this Official Statement. It is not intended to be complete and is qualified by the more detailed information contained elsewhere in this Official Statement. Definitions of certain terms used in this Official Statement are set forth in "APPENDIX C - SUMMARY OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE INDENTURE." Purpose The proceeds of the Bonds will be used to (i) fund redevelopment projects of the Commission within the Redevelopment Project; (ii) pay costs of issuance of the Bonds; and (iii) fund a reserve fund. The Bonds will be payable from and secured by Tax Revenues (as defined herein) allocated to the Project Area. See "Security For The Bonds" herein. Purchase and Resale of Bonds by Authority The Bonds will be issued for sale to the National City Joint Powers Financing Authority (the "Authority"). The Authority will resell the Bonds to the Underwriter. Authority for Issuance The Commission is a community development commission existing under the Community Redevelopment Law of the State of Califomia (the "State"), constituting Part 1 of Division 24 (commencing with Section 33000) of the California Health and Safety Code, as amended (the "Redevelopment Law"). The Bonds arc being issued under the Redevelopment Law, a resolution of the Commission and an Indenture of Trust (the "Indenture of Trust") dated as of June 1, 2004, as amended and supplemented by a First Supplemental Indenture of Trust (the "First Supplement"), dated as of January 1 2005, a Second Supplemental Indenture of Trust (the "Second Supplement") dated as of January 1, 2005, and a Third Supplemental indenture of Trust (the "Third Supplement) dated as of March 1, 2011, providing for the issuance of the Bonds (the "Indenture of Trust," the "First Supplement," the "Second Supplement," and the "Third Supplement" are collectively referred *Preliminary, subject to change. 09960.00000\5842387.4 to herein as the "Indenture"), each by and between the Commission and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, San Francisco, California, as trustee (the "Trustee"). Parity with Prior Bond Issuance The Bonds are being issued on a parity with the Commission's $5,860,000 National City Redevelopment Project, 2004 Tax Allocation Bonds, Series A (the "2004 Series A Bonds"), currently outstanding in the principal amount of $4,345,000, the $27,940,000 2005 Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds, Series A (the "2005 Series A Bonds"), currently outstanding in the principal amount of $16,780,000, and the 2005 Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds, Series B, currently outstanding in the principal amount of $9,840,000 (the "2005 Series A Bonds," and together with the "Series 2005 B Bonds," are referred to herein as the "2005 Bonds"). See "SECURITY FOR THE BONDS — Outstanding Debt; — Issuance of Parity Debt", herein. On June 3, 1999 the Commission issued its 1999 Tax Allocation Housing Bonds (the "1999 Bonds") currently outstanding in the aggregate principal amount of $3,965,000 which are payable exclusively from Housing Set -Aside Revenues. The 1999 Bonds have a claim on Housing Set -Aside Revenues that is senior to the lien of the Bonds and the 2005 Series A Bonds. Security The Bonds are limited obligations of the Commission secured by a pledge of, security interest in and lien on certain Tax Revenues (as described herein) to be derived from the Project Area (as defined herein) and from amounts on deposit in certain funds and accounts established pursuant to the Indenture. The Indenture permits, upon satisfaction of certain conditions, the issuance of additional indebtedness ("Parity Debt") payable from Tax Revenues and secured by Tax Revenues equal to the pledge, security interest and lien securing the Bonds. See "FINANCING PLAN" and "APPENDIX C — SUMMARY OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE INDENTURE." Tax Allocation Financing The Redevelopment Law provides a means for financing redevelopment projects based upon an allocation of taxes collected within a designated redevelopment project area. The redevelopment agency establishes the taxable valuation of a redevelopment project area as last equalized before the adoption of the redevelopment plan, or base roll, is established and, except for any period during which the taxable valuation drops below the base year level, the taxing agencies thereafter receive the taxes produced by the levy of the then -current tax rate upon the base roll (except for any period during which the taxable valuation drops below such base year level). Taxes collected upon any increase in taxable valuation over the base roll (exclusive of the 20% Housing -Set Aside requirement and the 1% plus overrides) are allocated to a redevelopment agency and may be pledged by a redevelopment agency to the repayment of any indebtedness incurred in financing or refinancing redevelopment activities. No less than 20% of taxes allocated to a redevelopment agency (i.e, the Housing Set -Aside) must be set aside in a separate fund to develop and maintain low- and moderate -income housing in the City. Redevelopment agencies themselves have no authority to levy property taxes and must look specifically to the allocation of taxes as indicated above. Sources of Payment for the Bonds Tax Revenues. The Bonds are secured by a pledge of Tax Revenues. "Tax Revenues" means all taxes annually allocated to the Commission pursuant to the Redevelopment Law and as provided in the Redevelopment Plan, including all other subventions and reimbursements (if any) to the commission specifically attributable to ad valorem taxes lost be reason of tax exceptions and tax limitations. Tax Revenues do not include (a) amounts payable to the Commission by the State of California under Section 16112.7 of the California Government Code; (b) amounts payable by the Commission under the Tax Sharing Agreements, to the extent not subordinated to the payment of principal of and interest on the Bonds; and (c) Housing Set -Aside 09960.00000\5842387.4 2 Revenues, except to the extent that Housing Set -Aside Revenues are permitted under the Redevelopment Law to be applied to the payment of the principal of and interest and premium (if any) on the Bonds and any other Parity Debt. Tax Revenues are more fully described under the caption "SECURITY FOR THE BONDS — Tax Revenues." "Housing Set -Aside Revenues" means all Tax Revenues required to be deposited into the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund of the Commission in any Fiscal Year under Section 33334.3 of the Redevelopment Law. See APPENDIX C — SUMMARY OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE INDENTURE;" "SECURITY FOR THE BONDS — Outstanding Senior Debt — Issuance of Parity Debt" herein. Approximately 38% of the Bond proceeds will be used to fund low and moderate income housing projects within the Project Area. Approximately 18% of the 2005 Bonds were likewise used to fund low and moderate income housing. In 1999, the Commission issued the 1999 Bonds, which are payable exclusively from Housing Set -Aside Revenues. The 1999 Bonds have a claim on the Housing Set -Aside Revenues that is senior to the claim of the 2005 Series A Bonds and the Bonds. See "SECURITY FOR THE BONDS — Outstanding Debt" herein. Any future decrease in the taxable valuation in the Project Area or in the applicable tax rates could reduce the Tax Revenues allocated to the Commission and, correspondingly, could have an adverse impact on the ability of the Commission to pay debt service on the Bonds. See "RISK FACTORS" herein. NEITHER THE BONDS NOR THE COMMISSION'S OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE INDENTURE ARE A DEBT OF THE CITY, THE STATE, OR ANY POLITICAL SUBDIVISION THEREOF (OTHER THAN THE COMMISSION) AND NEITHER TIIE CITY, THE STATE NOR ANY POLITICAL SUBDIVISION THEREOF (OTHER THAN THE COMMISSION) IS LIABLE FOR THE BONDS. THE BONDS DO NOT CONSTITUTE AN INDEBTEDNESS WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE CONSTITUTIONAL OR STATUTORY DEBT LIMITATION OR RESTRICTION. NEITHER THE MEMBERS OF THE CITY, THE AUTHORITY, TIIE COMMISSION NOR ANY PERSONS EXECUTING THE BONDS ARE LIABLE PERSONALLY ON TIIE BONDS BY REASON OF THEIR ISSUANCE.

Governor's Proposal Regarding Redevelopment On January 10, 2011, the Governor released his proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2011-12 ("Proposed Budget"). Among other things, the Proposed Budget proposes elimination of the current funding mechanism for redevelopment agencies (the "RDA Provisions"), although only limited details are provided for such a far- reaching proposal. See "BONDOWNERS' RISKS — Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund; State Budget" for a discussion of the RDA Provisions. Certain Risks to Bondholders Investment in the Bonds involves risk.

Offering and Delivery of the Bonds The Bonds are offered when, as and if issued, subject to approval by Bond Counsel. It is anticipated that the Bonds in book -entry form will be available for delivery in New York, New York on the date set forth on the inside Cover Page. The Project Area The Project Area is designated as the "National City Redevelopment Project Area," and encompasses approximately 2,400 acres, and is comprised of a mixture of commercial, industrial and residential development. There is only nominal acreage for new development within the Project Area. According to Urban Futures, Inc., the Commission's Redevelopment Fiscal Consultant, the assessed value of the Project Area for fiscal year ending June 30, 2011 is $1,733,182,560 (secured and unsecured assessed value). See "THE PROJECT AREA" herein, for additional information on land use, property ownership and assessed valuations within the Project Area. The Commission The Commission was established pursuant to the Redevelopment Law on April 11, 1967, and was reconstituted as a community development commission by Ordinance No. 1484 of the City Council of the City adopted on October 14, 1975. At that time, the City Council declared itself to be the governing board of the Commission. The Commission is also vested with the rights, powers and duties of the City's housing authority. The Commission was created to undertake and carry out the redevelopment of certain areas within the City which the Commission has determined to be blighted areas by encouraging development of residential, commercial, industrial, recreational, and public facilities and to assist neighborhood redevelopment through residential property improvement loans and housing assistance payments to low and moderate income earners. As a result of a 1995 merger, the Project Area is the sole redevelopment project area of the Commission. Continuing Disclosure The Commission will enter a written agreement constituting an undertaking to provide ongoing annual disclosure about the Commission for the benefit of the Owners of the Bonds as required by Section (b)(5)(I) of Rule 15c2-12 of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The specific nature of the information to be contained in such ongoing disclosure or the notices of material events by the Commission, is set forth in "APPENDIX E —FORM OF CONTINUING DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT' herein. The annual information and material events will be filed by or on behalf of the Commission with Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board's Electronic Municipal Market Access System for municipal securities disclosures, maintained on the Internet at http://emma.msrb.org/ ("EMMA"). The Commission is entering into the Continuing Disclosure 09960.00000'5842387.4 4 Agreement in order to assist the Underwriter in complying with Rule 15c2-12(b)(5) of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Commission has represented that it has complied, as applicable, in all material respects with all previous undertakings pursuant to the Rule to provide annual reports or notices of material events. See "CONTINUING DISCLOSURE" herein. Tax Matters In the opinion of Jones Hall, Bond Counsel, under existing law and assuming compliance with certain covenants in the documents pertaining to the Bonds and requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, as described in this Official Statement, interest on the Bonds is not includable in the gross income of the owners of the Bonds for federal income tax purposes. In the further opinion of Bond Counsel, interest on the Bonds is not treated as an item of tax preference in calculating the federal alternative minimum taxable income of individuals and corporations. Interest on the Bonds, however, is included as an adjustment in the calculation of federal corporate alternative minimum taxable income and may therefore affect a corporation's alternative minimum tax liability. In the further opinion of Bond Counsel, interest on the Bonds and the Bonds is exempt from personal income taxes imposed by the State of California. See "TAX MATTERS" herein. Professionals Involved In The Offering Urban Futures, Inc., is acting as financial advisor and fiscal consultant to the Commission and has prepared an analysis of taxable values and tax increment revenue with respect to the Redevelopment Project.

Interest with respect to the Bonds will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Redemption of Bonds Optional Redemption. The 2011 Bonds maturing on or before August 1, , shall not be subject to redemption prior to the respective stated maturities. The 2011 Bonds maturing on or after August 1, , shall be subject to redemption at the option of the Commission on any date on or after August 1, , in whole or in part among maturities designated by the Commission and by lot within a maturity, from any available source of funds, at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount of the 2011 Bonds or portions thereof to be called for redemption). The Commission shall be required to give the Trustee written notice of its intention to redeem 2011 Bonds under this subsection (a), and the maturities thereof of such 2011 Bonds to be redeemed, at least forty- five (45) days prior to the date fixed for such redemption, or such later date as may be acceptable to the Trustee. Special Mandatory Redemption. The Bonds maturing on or after August 1, , shall also be subject to mandatory redemption on any date commencing on August 1, , in inverse order of maturity, in whole or in part, from and to the extent of any Tax Revenues paid to the Trustee for deposit in the Special Fund pursuant to the Indenture at a prepayment price equal to the principal amount thereof to be redeemed, together with accrued interest thereon to the date fixed for redemption, without premium. Mandatory Sinking Account Redemption. The Bonds with a scheduled maturity of August 1, shall also be subject to mandatory sinking fund redemption in whole or in part on August 1 in the years set forth below from Sinking Account payments made by the Commission pursuant to the Indenture at a redemption price equal to the principal amount thereof to be redeemed, together with accrued interest thereon to * Preliminary, subject to change. 09960.00000\5842387.4 7 the date fixed for redemption, without premium, or in lieu thereof shall be purchased in whole or in part pursuant to the Indenture, in the aggregate respective principal amounts and on the respective dates as set forth in the following table: Sinking Fund Redemption Date (August 1) Principal Amount to be Redeemed Manner of Redemption. Whenever any Bonds, f less than all of the Bonds, are selected for redemption, the Commission (except in the case of a special mandatory redemption described above) under certain circumstances has the discretion to determine the maturities to be redeemed and will give the Trustee notice and the Trustee will select the Bonds within a maturity to be redeemed by lot in any manner as the Trustee, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate. All Bonds redeemed or purchased pursuant to the Indenture shall be canceled. Partial Redemption of Bonds. Upon surrender by the Owner of a Bond to be redeemed in part only, the Commission will execute and the Trustee will deliver to the registered Owner thereof, at the expense of the Commission, a new Bond, which will be of authorized denominations equal in aggregate principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Bond surrendered and representing the same interest rate and maturity. Bonds Not Presented. If the Owner of any Bond selected for redemption will fail to present such Bond to the Trustee for payment (and, if applicable, exchange as described above), such Bond will, nevertheless, become due and payable on the date fixed for redemption to the extent of the principal amount called for redemption (and to that extent only). Notice of Redemption. The Trustee will give to the Owners notice of any redemption of the Bonds. Such notice will state the redemption date and the redemption price, shall designate the CUSIP numbers of the Bonds to be redeemed, shall state the individual amount of each Bond to be redeemed or state that all Bonds of a Series between two stated numbers (to be inclusive) that all Bonds of a Series Outstanding of one or more maturities are to be redeemed, and shall require that such Bonds be then surrendered at the Office of the Trustee for redemption at the said redemption price, giving notice also that further interest on the Bonds to be redeemed will not accrue from and after the date fixed for redemption. Notice of such redemption will be mailed by first class mail, postage paid, to each of the Securities Depositories and to one or more Informational Services (as defined in the Indenture) and the respective Owners of any Bonds designated for redemption at their addresses appearing on the Bond registration books, at least thirty (30) days but not more than sixty (60) days prior to the redemption date; provided that neither failure to receive such notice nor any defect in any notice so mailed will effect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of such Bonds or the cessation of accrual of interest thereon from and after the redemption date. The Commission has the right to rescind any optional redemption. Any notice of optional redemption shall 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 Bonds then called for redemption, and such cancellation shall not constitute an Event f Default under the Indenture. The Commission and Trustee shall have not liability to the Owners of the Bonds or any other party related to or arising from such rescission of redemption. The Trustee shall mail notice of such rescission of redemption in the same manner as the original notice of redemption was sent. So long as DTC is acting as securities depository for the Bonds, notice of redemption will be made to DTC or its designee and not to the beneficiary of the Bonds (See `BOOK -ENTRY ONLY SYSTEM" below.) 09960.00000\5842387.4 8 Purchase of the Bonds in Lieu of Redemption In lieu of redemption as described above, moneys deposited with the Trustee for purpose of redemption may be withdrawn and used by the Trustee for purchase of Outstanding Bonds, upon the filing with the Trustee of a Certificate of the Commission requesting such purchase, at public or private sale as and when, and at such prices (including brokerage and other charges) as such Certificate of the Commission may provide. 09960.00000\5842387.4 9 BOOK -ENTRY ONLY SYSTEM The following description of the Depository Trust Company ("DTC'), the procedures and record keeping with respect to beneficial ownership interests in the Bonds, payment of principal, interest and other payments on the Bonds to DTC Participants or Beneficial Owners, confirmation and transfer of beneficial ownership interest in the Bonds and other related transactions by and between DTC, the DTC Participants and the Beneficial Owners is based solely on information provided by DTC. Accordingly, no representations can be made concerning these matters and neither the DTC Participants nor the Beneficial Owners should rely on the foregoing information with respect to such matters, but should instead confirm the same with DTC or the DTC Participants, as the case may be. Neither the Commission nor the Trustee appointed with respect to the Bonds nor their respective counsel assumes any responsibility for the accuracy of the information contained in this section. The Commission and the Trustee cannot and do not give assurances that DTC, DTC Direct Participants or DTC Indirect Participants will distribute to the Beneficial Owners (0 payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds; (ii) certificates representing an ownership interest in or other confirmation of ownership interests in the Bonds; or (iii) redemption or other notices sent to DTC or Cede & Co., its nominee, as registered owner of the Bonds; or (iv) redemption or other notices sent to DTC or Cede & Co., its nominee, as the registered owner of the Bonds or that they will do so on a timely basis or that DTC, DTC Direct Participants or DTC Indirect Participants will service and act in the manner described in this section of the Official Statement. The current "Rules" applicable to DTC are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the current "Procedures" of DTC to be followed in dealing with DTC Participants are on file with DTC. DTC and its Participants DTC is located in New York, NY and will act as securities depository for the Bonds. The Bonds will be issued as fully -registered securities registered in the name of Cede & Co. (DTC's partnership nominee) or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. One fully -registered security certificate will be issued for each maturity of the Bonds, each in the aggregate principal amount of such maturity, and will be deposited with DTC. DTC, the world's largest depository, is a limited -purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a "banking organization" within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a "clearing agency" registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC holds and provides asset servicing for over 2 million issues of U.S. and non-U.S. equity issues, corporate and municipal debt issues, and money market instruments from over 85 countries that DTC's participants ("Direct Participants") deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the post -trade settlement among Direct Participants of sales and other securities transactions in deposited securities, through electronic computerized book -entry transfers and pledges between Direct Participants' accounts. This eliminates the need for physical movement of securities certificates. Direct Participants include both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is a wholly -owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation ("DTCC"). D"I'CC, in turn, is owned by a number of Direct Participants of DTC and Members of the National Securities Clearing Corporation, Government Securities Clearing Corporation, MBS Clearing Corporation, and Emerging Markets Clearing Corporation, (respectively, "NSCC," "GSCC," "MBSCC," and "EMCC," also subsidiaries of DTCC), as well as by the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., the American Stock Exchange LLC, and the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, and clearing corporations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly ("Indirect Participants"). DTC has Standard & Poor's highest rating: AAA. The DTC Rules applicable to its Participants are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. More information about DTC can be found at www.dtcc.com. 09960.00000\5842387.4 10 Book -Entry Only System Purchases of the Bonds under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct Participants, which will receive a credit for the Bonds on DTC's records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each Bond ("Beneficial Owner") is in turn to be recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants' records. Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase. Beneficial Owners are, however, expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct or Indirect Participant through which the Beneficial Owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the Bonds are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Direct and Indirect Participants acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in the Bonds, except in the event that use of the book -entry system for the Bonds is discontinued. To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Bonds deposited by Direct Participants with DTC are registered in the name of DTC's partnership nominee, Cede & Co., or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of the Bonds with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. or such other DTC nominee do not effect any change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the Bonds; DTC's records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such Bonds are credited, which may or may not be the Beneficial Owners. The Direct and Indirect Participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers. Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct Participants to Indirect Participants, and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Beneficial Owners of the Bonds may wish to take certain steps to augment the transmission to them of notices of significant events with respect to the Bonds, such as redemptions, tenders, defaults, and proposed amendments to the Security documents. For example, Beneficial Owners of the Bonds may wish to ascertain that the nominee holding the Bonds for their benefit has agreed to obtain and transmit notices to Beneficial Owners. In the alternative, Beneficial Owners may wish to provide their names and addresses to the registrar and request that copies of notices be provided directly to them. Redemption notices shall be sent to DTC. If less than all of the Bonds within an issue are being redeemed, DTC's practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in such issue to be redeemed. Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (nor any other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to the Bonds unless authorized by a Direct Participant in accordance with DTC's Procedures. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an Omnibus Proxy to the Commission as soon as possible after the record date. 1'he Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede & Co.'s consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to whose accounts the Bonds are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy). Payments of principal, of premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds will be made to Cede & Co., or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. DTC's practice is to credit Direct Participants' accounts upon DTC's receipt of funds and corresponding detail inforrrtation from the Commission or the Trustee, on payable date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC's records. Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in "street name," and will be the responsibility of such Participant and not of DTC (nor its nominee), the Commission or the Trustee, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest evidenced by the Bonds to Cede & Co. (or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC) is the responsibility of the Commission or the Trustee, disbursement of such payments to Direct Participants will be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners will be the responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants. 09960.0000015842387.4 1 1 The Commission and the Trustee cannot and do not give assurances that DTC, DTC Direct Participants or DTC Indirect Participants will distribute to the Beneficial Owners (i) payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds, (ii) certificates representing an ownership interest in or other confirmation of ownership interests in the Bonds or that they will do so on a timely basis or that DTC, DTC Direct Participants or DTC Indirect Participants will service and act in the manner described in this section of the Official Statement. The current "Rules" applicable to DTC are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the current "Procedures" of DTC to be followed in dealing with DTC Participants are on file with DTC. The Commission and the Trustee shall be entitled to treat the person in whose name any Bond is registered as the Bond Owner thereof for all purposes of the Indenture and any applicable laws, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary received by the Trustee, the Commission, or the Authority; and the Commission and the Trustee shall have no responsibility for transmitting payments to, communications with, notifying, or otherwise dealing with any Beneficial Owners of the Bonds. Neither the Commission, the Commission nor the Trustee will have any responsibility or obligations, legal or otherwise, to the Beneficial Owners or to any other party including DTC or its successor (or substitute depository or its successor), except for the registered owner of any Bond. THE TRUSTEE, AS LONG AS A BOOK -ENTRY ONLY SYSTEM IS USED FOR TIIE BONDS, WILL SEND ANY NOTICE OF REDEMPTION OR OTHER NOTICES TO OWNERS ONLY TO DTC. ANY FAILURE OF DTC TO ADVISE ANY DTC PARTICIPANT, OR OF ANY DTC PARTICIPANTS TO NOTIFY ANY BENEFICIAL OWNER, OF ANY NOTICE AND ITS CONTENT OR EFFECT WILL NOT AFFECT THE VALIDITY OF SUFFICIENCY OF THE PROCEEDINGS RELATING TO THE REDEMPTION OF THE BONDS CALLED FOR REDEMPTION OR OF ANY OTHER ACTION PREMISED ON SUCH NOTICE. Discontinuance of Book -Entry System DTC may discontinue providing its services with respect to the Bonds at any time by giving reasonable notice to the Commission or the Trustee and discharging its responsibilities with respect thereto under applicable law or, the Commission may terminate its participation in the system of book -entry transfers through DTC or any other securities depository at any time. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor securities depository is not obtained, Bonds are required to be printed and delivered. In the event that the book - entry system is discontinued, the Commission will execute, and the Trustee will authenticate and make available for delivery, replacement Bonds in the form of registered certificates. In the event that (a) DTC determines not to continue to act as securities depository for the Bonds, or (b) the Commission determines that DTC will no longer so act and delivers a written certificate to the Trustee to that effect, then the Commission will discontinue the Book -Entry Only System with DTC for the Bonds. If the Commission determines to replace DTC with another qualified securities depository, the Commission will prepare or direct the preparation of a new single separate, fully registered Bond for each maturity of the Bonds registered in the name of such successor or substitute securities depository as are not inconsistent with the terms of the Indenture executed in connection with the Bonds. If the Commission fails to identify another qualified securities depository to replace the incumbent securities depository for the Bonds, then the Bonds will no longer be restricted to being registered in the Bond registration books in the name of the incumbent securities depository or its nominee, but will be registered in whatever name or names the incumbent securities depository or its nominee transferring or exchanging the Bonds designates. If the Book -Entry Only System is discontinued, the following provisions would also apply: the principal of, and redemption premiums, if any, on the Bonds will be payable upon surrender thereof at the corporate trust office of the Trustee, and interest on the Bonds will be payable by check mailed by first class mail on each Interest Payment Date to the registered owners thereof as shown on the registration books of the Trustee as of the close of business on or, upon the written request of any owner of $1,000,000 or more in aggregate principal amount of Bonds received by the Trustee on or prior to the fifteenth day of the calendar month immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date by wire transfer to an account with a financial institution within the continental United States of America designated by such owner and the Bonds will be transferable and 09960.0000015842387.4 12 exchangeable on the terns and conditions provided in the Indenture executed in connection with the Bonds. For every transfer and exchange of the Bonds, Beneficial Owners will be charged a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto. Transfer and Exchange Any Bond may, in accordance with its terms, be transferred or exchanged at the Trust Office of the Trustee, for a like aggregate principal amount of Bonds of authorized denominations of like maturity. The Trustee will require the payment of any tax or other governmental charge by the Bond owner requesting exchange or transfer. No transfer or exchange of Bonds is required to be made during a period established by the Trustee for selection of such Bonds for redemption, or with respect to a Bond after such Bond has been selected for redemption. SECURITY FOR THE BONDS Tax Allocation Financing The Redevelopment Law provides a means for financing redevelopment projects based upon an allocation of taxes collected within a redevelopment project area. The taxable valuation of a redevelopment project area last equalized prior to adoption of a redevelopment plan, or base roll, is established and, except for any period during which the taxable valuation drops below the base year level, the taxing agencies thereafter receive the taxes produced by the levy of the then current tax rate upon the base roll. Taxes collected upon any increase in taxable valuation over the base roll (exclusive of the 20% Housing -Set Aside requirement and the 1% plus overrides) are allocated to a redevelopment agency and may be pledged by a redevelopment agency to the repayment of any indebtedness incurred in financing or refinancing a redevelopment project. Redevelopment agencies themselves have no authority to levy property taxes and must look specifically to the allocation of taxes produced as above indicated. Allocation of Taxes As provided in the Redevelopment Plan, and pursuant to Article 6 of Chapter 6 of the Redevelopment Law (commencing with Section 33670 of the California Health and Safety Code) and Section 16 of Article XVI of the Constitution of the State of California, taxes levied upon taxable property in the Project Area each year by or for the benefit of the State of California and any city, county, city and county, district or other public corporation (herein collectively referred to as "taxing agencies") for each Fiscal Year beginning after the effective dates of the respective ordinances approving redevelopment plans for the constituent project areas and the additions of territories thereto comprising the merged Project Area, as amended are divided as follows: 1. To taxing agencies: That portion of the taxes which would be produced by the rate upon which the tax is levied each year by or for each of said taxing agencies upon the total sum of the assessed value of the taxable property in the Project Area, as shown upon the assessment roll used in connection with the taxation of such property by such taxing agency, last equalized prior to the effective date of the ordinance adopting the Redevelopment Plan, shall be allocated to, and when collected shall be paid to, the respective taxing agencies as taxes by or for the taxing agencies on all other property are paid. 2. To the Commission: Except as provided in subparagraphs 3, 4 and 5 below, the portion of the levied taxes each year in excess of the amount described in subparagraph 1, above, shall be allocated to, and when collected shall be paid into, a special fund of the Agency to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds and Parity Bonds, loans, monies advanced to, or other indebtedness incurred by the Commission to finance or refinance, in whole or in part, the Redevelopment Project. 3. To taxing agencies: That portion of the taxes in excess of the amount identified in subparagraph 1, above, which are attributable to a tax rate levied on or after January 1, 1989 by a taxing agency for the purpose of producing revenues in an amount sufficient to make annual repayments of the 09960.00000\5842387.4 13 principal of, and the interest on, and bonded indebtedness for the acquisition or improvement of real property shall be allocated to, and when collected shall be paid into, the fund of that taxing agency. 4. 7o County administrative fee: Legislation originally enacted in 1990, Senate Bill 2557 (Stats. 1990, chapter 466, §4, which amended Revenue and Taxation Code Section 97), and additional legislation enacted in 1992, Senate Bill 1559 (Stats. 1992, chapter 697, §13, which amended Revenue and Taxation Code Section 97.5), authorized county auditors to determine property tax administrative costs proportionately attributable to local jurisdictions and, commencing in the 1992-93 Fiscal Year, the amounts due as local agencies' contributions to cover county administrative costs are to be allocated to the county as part of the overall system for the redistribution of property taxes (as opposed to being paid pursuant to invoices). In 1994, Assembly Bill 3347 (Stats. 1994, chapter 1167) was enacted, which, in pertinent part, clarified and reorganized California's property tax statutes. That legislation added Revenue and Taxation Code Sections 95.2 and 95.3, which now set forth the statutory authorization for the county auditor's recovery of property tax administrative costs. Section 95.3 expressly includes redevelopment agencies as jurisdictions that are to be charged for property tax administrative costs, commencing in the 1992-93 fiscal year. The charge resulting from this legislation is estimated at 1.05% of Tax Revenues based on past administrative charges. The Commission excludes the County administrative fee from the definition of Tax Revenues and those fees are not considered Tax Revenues for purposes of the housing set -aside discussed below or for the determination of compliance with tax increment limitations. 5. To Taxing Agencies: That portion of the taxes reserved to taxing entities which adopted resolutions under former Health and Safety Code Section 33676 shall be paid to such taxing entities. The City, the San Diego County Water Authority and the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California adopted such resolutions with respect to the Project Area. The City has suspended its resolution for the life of the 1999 Bonds, eh 2005 Bonds, and any Parity Bonds (including the Bonds) so that amounts otherwise reserved to the City under its resolution will be available to the Commission as Tax Revenues. When all bond, loans, advances, and indebtedness, if any, and interest thereon, have been paid, all moneys thereafter received from taxes upon the taxable property in the Project Area shall be paid into the funds of the respective taxing agencies as taxes on all other property are paid. See "Tax Revenues," below. Tax Revenues The Bonds and all Outstanding Parity Debt will be secured by a parity of, and security interest in and lien on all Tax Revenues (See "RISK FACTORS") and by a first and exclusive pledge of, security interest in, and on all of the moneys in the Special Fund, the Interest Account, the Principal Account, the Sinking Account, the Reserve Account and the Redemption Account. See "APPENDIX C — SUMMARY OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE INDENTURE." As defined in the Indenture (SEE "APPENDIX C — SUMMARY of Certain Provisions of the Indenture"), the term "Tax Revenues" means all taxes annually allocated to the Commission with respect to the Project Area following the Closing Date, under Article 6 of Chapter 6 (commencing with Section 33670) of the Redevelopment Law and Section 16 of Article XVI of the Constitution of the State of California and as provided in the Redevelopment Plan, including all other payments, subventions and reimbursements (if any) to the Commission specifically attributable to ad valorem taxes lost by reason of tax exemptions and tax rate limitations. Tax Revenues do not include (a) amounts payable to the Commission by the State of California under Section 16112.7 of the California Government Code; (b) amounts payable by the Commission under the 'fax Sharing Agreements, to the extent not subordinated to the payment of principal of and interest on the Bonds; and (c) Housing Set -Aside Revenues, except to the extent that Housing Set -Aside Revenues are permitted under the Redevelopment Law to be applied to the payment of the principal of and interest and premium (if any) on the Bonds and any other Parity Debt. See "THE PROJECT," "TAX SHARING AGREEMENTS," and "APPENDIX C — SUMMARY OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE INDENTURE." 09960.00000\58423 8 7.4 14 A portion of each payment of the principal and interest on the Bonds, the 2005 Series A Bonds, and the 1999 Bonds is secured by Housing Set -Aside Revenues. As a result, a portion of each payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds, the 2005 Series A Bonds and the 1999 Bonds (in the aggregate, %) is payable from Low and Moderate Income Housing funds ("Housing Set -Aside Revenues") of the Commission. See "SECURITY FOR THE BONDS — Outstanding Debt — Low and Moderate Income Housing" herein. The Commission has no power to levy and collect property taxes, and any property tax limitation, legislative measure, voter initiative or provisions of additional sources of income to taxing agencies having the effect of reducing the property tax rate, could reduce the amount of Tax Revenues that would otherwise be available to pay the principal of, and interest on, the Bonds. Likewise, broadened property tax exemptions could have a similar effect. See "RISK FACTORS" and "LIMITATIONS ON TAX REVENUES AND POSSIBLE SPENDING LIMITATIONS" herein. NEITHER THE BONDS NOR TIIE COMMISSION'S OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE INDENTURE ARE A DEBT OF THE CITY, THE STATE, OR ANY POLITICAL SUBDIVISION THEREOF (OTHER THAN THE COMMISSION) AND NEITHER THE CITY, THE STATE NOR ANY POLITICAL SUBDIVISION THEREOF (OTHER THAN THE COMMISSION) IS LIABLE FOR THE BONDS. THE BONDS DO NOT CONSTITUTE AN INDEBTEDNESS WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE CONSTITUTIONAL OR STATUTORY DEBT LIMITATION OR RESTRICTION. NEITHER THE MEMBERS OF THE CITY, THE AUTHORITY, THE COMMISSION NOR ANY PERSONS EXECLJTING TIIE BONDS ARE LIABLE PERSONALLY ON TIIE BONDS BY REASON OF THEIR ISSUANCE. THE COMMISSION HAS NO TAXING POWER. Outstanding Debt Outstanding Senior Debt. On June 3, 1999 the Commission issued its 1999 Bonds currently outstanding in the aggregate principal amount of $3,965,000 which are payable exclusively from Housing Set -Aside Revenues. The 1999 Bonds have a claim on Housing Set -Aside Revenues that is senior to the lien of the Bonds and the 2005 Series A Bonds. Approximately % of each payment of the principal and interest on the Bonds will he payable from Housing Set -Aside Revenues and approximately 18% of each payment of the principal and interest of 2005 Series A Bonds is payable from Housing Set -Aside Revenues. Outstanding Parity Debt. The Bonds are being issued on a parity with the Commission's 2004 Series A Bonds, currently outstanding in the principal amount of $4,345,000, the 2005 Series A Bonds, currently outstanding in the principal amount of $16,780,000, and the 2005 Series B Bonds currently outstanding in the principal amount of $9,840,000. The Indenture permits the Commission to issue debt on a parity with the Bonds, subject to certain specified conditions. See "Issuance of Parity Debt" below. Subordinate Debt. Pursuant to Resolution No. 91-26, adopted by the Commission on June 11, 1991, the Commission has agreed to make an annual payment to the City in amount of $320,000 for purposes of paying capital improvement projects of the City within the downtown portion of the Project Area. The obligation of the Commission to make such annual payment to the City is subordinate to all obligations of the Commission, including the Bonds, payable from pledged tax increment revenues of the Commission. Pursuant to Resolution No. 2010-148, adopted by the Commission on June 22, 2010, the City borrowed $1,500,00 through an interim loan from the City's Sewer Fund for the purpose of funding ongoing street resurfacing within the Project Area. The Commission agreed to pay the City $771,250 from tax increment funds to be applied toward the $1,500,000 interim loan of the project. Interest on the loan shall be paid back from tax increment funds, TransNet (Proposition A) funds, and Proposition 1B funds, at a rate of 0.75% per annum on the unpaid balance of $40,102.64, pursuant to a graduated payment schedule as follows: (i) June 30, 2011 — $11,250 in tax increment funds; (ii) June 30, 2012 — $340,000 in tax increment funds; (iii) June 30, 2013 — $420,000; (iv) June 30, 2014 — $350,000 TransNet funds; June 30, 2015 — $418,852.64 TransNet Funds. 09960.00000\5842387.4 15 Issuance of Parity Debt In addition to the Bonds, the Commission may issue or incur Parity Debt in such principal amount as shall be determined by the Commission, pursuant to a Supplemental Indenture adopted or entered into by the Commission. The Commission may issue or incur such Parity Debt subject to the following specific conditions precedent: (a) The Commission shall be in compliance with all covenants set forth in the Indenture; and no Event of Default (or any event with respect to which notice has been given and which, once all notice of grace periods have passed, would constitute an Event of Default) has occurred and is then continuing, unless otherwise permitted by the Insurer. (b) The Tax Revenues for the then current Fiscal Year and for each subsequent Fiscal Year to and including the Fiscal "Year of the final maturity of the Bonds based on assessed valuation of property in the Project Area as evidenced in a written document from an appropriate official of the County, plus at the option of the Commission the Additional Revenues, are at least equal to 125% of Maximum Annual Debt Service (taking into account all Parity Debt which will be Outstanding following the issuance of such Parity Debt). For purposes of the calculation required herein, (i) Tax Revenues shall be calculated based on the general levy rate of one percent (1.00%) and shall not take into account any override tax rate, and (ii) payments pursuant to Tax Sharing Agreements and statutory tax sharing payments shall be calculated at the percentage rate applicable in each Fiscal Year. For purposes of calculating debt service on any Parity Debt which bears a variable interest rate, such Parity Debt shall be assumed to bear interest at the lesser of that interest rate applicable pursuant to an interest rate cap purchased by the Commission or the maximum interest rate applicable under the law. (c) The Supplemental Indenture or other document providing for the issuance of such Parity Debt shall provide that (i) the principal of such Parity Debt is payable on August 1 in any year in which principal is payable; and (ii) money is deposited in the Reserve Account (or a subaccount of the Reserve Account) from the proceeds of the sale of such Parity Debt or provision of a Qualified Reserve Account Credit Instrument (which may be a Reserve Account Surety Bond) in an amount required to cause the balance in the Reserve Account (including all subaccounts therein) to equal Maximum Annual Debt Service, or such lesser amount as is permitted under the Tax Code. (d) The Supplemental Indenture or other document providing for the issuance of such Parity Debt may provide for the establishment of separate funds, accounts or subaccounts. (e) The aggregate amount of the principal of and interest on all Outstanding Bonds, Parity Debt and Subordinate Debt corning due and payable following the issuance of such Parity Debt may not exceed the maximum amount of Tax Revenues permitted under the Plan Limitations to be allocated and paid to the Commission following the issuance of such Parity Debt. (t) The Commission must deliver to the Trustee a Certificate of the Commission certifying that the conditions precedent to the issuance of such Parity Debt set forth in the Indenture have been satisfied. The Commission may only issue Parity Debt bearing interest at a variable rate upon the written consent of the Insurer. Reserve Account In connection with the issuance of the 2004 Bonds, a Reserve Account was established for the payment of the 2004 Bonds and any Parity Debt and the Commission covenanted to maintain the amount therein at the "Reserve Requirement," which is defined in the Indenture to be, as of the date of any calculation, the lesser of (a) Maximum Annual Debt Service, or (b) on such Bonds (including any Parity Debt), (c) 10% of the Outstanding principal amount of the Bonds and any Parity Debt, or (d) 125% of average Annual Debt Service on the Bonds and any Parity Debt. Upon issuance of the 2005 Bonds, the amount in the Reserve Account was increased to reflect the issuance of the 2005 Bonds as Parity Debt. Likewise, upon issuance of the Bonds, the 09960.0000015842387.4 16 amount in the Reserve Account will increased from proceeds of the Bonds to reflect the issuance of the Bonds as additional Parity Debt. In the event that the amount on deposit in the Reserve Account at any time becomes less than the Reserve Requirement, the Trustee shall promptly notify the Commission of such fact. Promptly upon receipt of any such notice, the Commission shall transfer to the Trustee an amount of available Tax Revenues sufficient to maintain the Reserve Requirement on deposit in the Reserve Account. Amounts in the Reserve Account shall he used and withdrawn by the Trustee solely for the purpose of making transfers to the Interest Account, the Principal Account and the Sinking Account, in such order of priority, on any date which the principal of or interest on the Bonds becomes due and payable hereunder, in the event of any deficiency at any time in any of such accounts, or at any time before the retirement of all the Bonds then Outstanding. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any amount in the Reserve Account in excess of the Reserve Requirement on the second (2nd) Business Day preceding each Interest Payment Date shall be withdrawn from the Reserve Account by the Trustee and deposited in the Interest Account. The Commission shall have the right at any time to release funds from the Reserve Account, in whole or in part, by tendering to the Trustee: (1) a Qualified Reserve Account Credit Instrument approved in writing by the Insurer, and (2) an opinion of Bond Counsel stating that neither the release of such funds nor the acceptance of such Qualified Reserve Account Credit Instrument will cause interest on the Bonds to become includable in gross income for purposes of federal income taxation. Upon tender of such items to the Trustee, and upon delivery by the Commission to the Trustee of written calculation of the amount permitted to be released from the Reserve Account (upon which calculation the Trustee may conclusively rely), the Trustee shall transfer such funds from the Reserve Account to the Commission free and clear of the lien of the Indenture. The Trustee shall comply with all documentation relating to a Qualified Reserve Account Credit instrument as shall be required to maintain such Qualified Reserve Account Credit Instrument in full force and effect and as shall be required to receive payments thereunder in the event and to the extent required to make any payment when and as required under the Indenture. At least fifteen days prior to the expiration of any Qualified Reserve Account Credit Instrument, the Commission shall be obligated either (i) to replace such Qualified Reserve Account Credit Instrument with a new Qualified Reserve Account Credit Instrument, or (ii) to deposit or cause to be deposited with the Trustee an amount of funds such that the amount on deposit in the Reserve Account is equal to the Reserve Requirement (without taking into account such expiring Qualified Reserve Account Credit Instrument). In the event that the Commission shall fail to take action as specified in clause (i) or (ii) of the preceding sentence, the Trustee shall, prior to the expiration thereof, draw upon the Qualified Reserve Account Credit Instrument in full and deposit the proceeds of such draw in the Reserve Account. If the Reserve Requirement is at any time maintained in the Reserve Account in the form of a combination of cash and one or more Qualified Reserve Account Credit Instruments, the Trustee must apply the amount of such cash to make any payment required to be made from the Reserve Account before the Trustee may draw any moneys under any such Qualified Reserve Account Credit Instrument for such purpose. In the event that the Trustee shall at any time draw funds under a Qualified Reserve Account Credit Instrument to make any payment then required to be made from the Reserve Account, the Tax Revenues thereafter received by the Trustee, to the extent remaining after making the other deposits (if any) then required to be made pursuant to the Indenture shall be used to reinstate the Qualified Reserve Account Credit instrument. The Reserve Account may be maintained in the form of one or more separate sub -accounts which are established for the purpose of holding the proceeds of separate issues of each series of Commission bonds and the Commission shall establish with the Trustee such sub -accounts in conformity with applicable provisions of the Tax Code. See "APPENDIX C — SUMMARY OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE INDENTURE"). 09960.0000015842387.4 17 THE COMMISSION Commission and Personnel The Commission was established pursuant to the Redevelopment Law and was activated as a redevelopment agency by the City Council of the City on April 11, 1967, and was reconstituted as a community development commission by Ordinance No. 1484 of the City adopted on October 14, 1975. At that time the City Council declared itself to be the governing board of the Commission and since that time members of the City Council have served as Commission members. Members of the Commission and their terms of office are shown below: Member Ron Morrison Alejandra Sotelo-Solis Luis Natividad Mona Rios Rosalie Zarate Commission Staff Term Expires December 2014 December 2012 December 2014 December 2014 December 2012 Following are brief biographies of key Commission staff. Chris Zapata is the City Manager and Executive Director of the Commission. The City Council unanimously appointed him in February 2004. Mr. Zapata previously worked in the Arizona communities of Glendale, Superior, Eloy, Phoenix, Goodyear, and Flagstaff over a 25-year period. During the 1990's he served as City Manager of Eloy and Superior. Prior to National City, Mr. Zapata was a Deputy City Manager of the City of Glendale, Arizona.

She is a certified public accountant and has been with the Commission for over 8 years. Ms. Ladrido was previously employed by the County of San Diego for over 10 years. She is a graduate of San Diego State University. Commission Powers The Commission is charged with the responsibility of eliminating blight within its redevelopment project areas through the process of redevelopment. Generally, this process culminates when the Commission disposes of land for development by the private sector. Before this can he accomplished, the Commission must complete the process of acquiring and assembling the necessary sites, relocating residents and businesses, demolishing the deteriorated improvements, grading and preparing the sites for purchase by developers and providing for ancillary off -site improvements. 09960.00000\5842387.4 18 All powers of the Commission are vested in its five members. The Commission exercises all of the governmental functions authorized under the Redevelopment Law in carrying out projects and has sufficient broad authority to acquire, develop, administer and sell or lease property, including the right of eminent domain and the right to issue bonds, notes and other debt instruments and expend their proceeds. The Commission can clear buildings and other improvements and develop as a building site any real property owned or acquired, and in connection with such development, cause streets, highways and sidewalks to be constructed or reconstructed and public utilities to be installed. Redevelopment in the State may be carried out pursuant to the Redevelopment Law. Section 33020 of the Redevelopment Law defines redevelopment as the planning, development, re -planning, redesign, clearance, reconstruction or rehabilitation, or any combination of these, of all or a part of a survey area and the provision of such residential, commercial, industrial, public or other structures or spaces as may be appropriate or necessary in the interest of general welfare, including recreational and other facilities incidental or appurtenant to them. The Commission may, out of funds available to it for such purposes, pay for all or part of the value of land and the cost of buildings, facilities, structures or other improvements to be publicly owned, within or outside of the project area, so long as improvements are of benefit to the relevant project area and no other reasonable means of financing is available. The Commission must sell or lease remaining property within a project area for redevelopment by others in strict conformity with the redevelopment plan, and may specify a period when such redevelopment must begin and be completed. Commission Administration The Commission each year adopts an administrative budget. A portion of salaries and benefits of certain City staff members are budgeted and paid for by the Commission. Such reimbursement is subordinate to any outstanding bonded indebtedness of the Commission. The Redevelopment Law requires redevelopment agencies to have an independent financial audit conducted each year. The financial audit is also required to include an opinion of the Commission's compliance with laws, regulations, and administrative requirements governing activities of the Commission. The firm of Mayer Hoffman McCann, Certified Public Accountants, Irvine, California (the "Auditor"), prepared financial statements for the Commission for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. The Auditor's examination was made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. The Commission follows fund accounting principles reflecting the modified accrual basis of accounting in which revenue is recognized when earned or otherwise becomes available, and expenditures are recognized when incurred. The Auditor reported after its examination that., in its opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business -type activities, and each major fund financial fo the Commission at June 30, 2010, and the respective financial position and cash flows of its proprietary fund types for the Fiscal Year ending June 30, 2010 in conformance with generally accepted accounting principles. See "APPENDIX A - AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE COMMISSION FOR FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2010." The Audited Financial Statements of the Commission are public documents and are included within this Official Statement without the prior approval of the Auditor. Accordingly, the Auditor has not performed any post -audit of the financial condition of the Commission. Budgetary Policies The Commission each year approves a budget submitted by the Executive Director prior to the beginning of the new Fiscal Year. Public hearings are conducted prior to its adoption. The budget is subsequently adopted through the passage of a resolution. Budgets for all three fund types utilized by the Commission are adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles. 09960.00000`5842387.4 19 THE CITY The City is the second oldest city in San Diego County, with a history that dates to 1868 when the original community was Laid out by the California missionaries. The City is a general law city and was incorporated in 1887. The City encompasses an area of approximately nine (9) square miles and enjoys a fairly constant population of approximately 57,799. The City is bordered by the City of San Diego on the north and east, the City of Chula Vista on the south and San Diego Bay on the west. The City is substantially developed, with approximately .01 % of the Project Area categorized as vacant land. THE AUTHORITY The National City Joint Powers Public Financing Authority was created by a Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement, dated as of April 1, 1991 (the "Joint Powers Agreement") by and between the Commission and the City. The Joint Powers Agreement was entered into pursuant to the provisions of Articles 1, 2 and 4 (commencing with Section 6500 ) of Chapter 5, Division 7, of Title I of the Government Code of the State California (the "JPA Law"). The governing body of the Authority consists of the same individuals who compromise the City Council of the City and the governing body of the Commission. The Authority was created for the purpose of providing financing for public capital improvements for the City and within the Commission's project area. Under the JPA Law, the Authority has the power to purchase bonds issued by a local agency at public or negotiated sale and may sell such bonds to public or private purchasers at public or negotiated sale. The Bonds are being issued for sale to the Authority and will be resold by the Authority to the Underwriter. 09960.00000\5842387.4 20 THE PROJECT AREA Background General. Between 1969 and 1978, the City Council of the City of National City (the "City Council") adopted four redevelopment projects. On December I, 1981 the City Council merged these four project areas into one and added additional territory to form the National City Downtown Redevelopment Project (the "NCDRP" or "Project Area"). The NCDRP consisted of approximately 2,080 acres. On April 16, 1985 the City Council added three acres to the NCDRP, thus, bringing the size to approximately 2,083 acres. The City Council made no other additions to the NCDRP until July 18, 1995. In July 1995, the City Council amended and restated the redevelopment plan for the Project Area adding approximately 317 acres to bring the NCDRP to its present size of approximately 2,400 acres. At that time, the City changed the name of the NCDRP to the National City Redevelopment Project which contained the existing approximate 2,400 acres in seven (7) subareas that comprise the project area currently (the "Project Area"). Gross and/or Tax Revenue in the Project Area is derived from individually calculated component values of the seven (7) sub -areas comprising the Project Area. Gross and/or Tax Revenues are not based on aggregated Project Area values. Entitlement to tax increment revenues will diminish with respect to the component sub -areas beginning in 2020 and thereafter. See Table 3 herein. below: As described above, the Project Area is comprised of seven (7) separate component sub -areas as listed (1) E.J. Christman Business and Industrial Park Redevelopment Project ("Christman 1"); (2) South Bay Town and County Redevelopment Project ("South Bay"); (3) Center City Redevelopment Project ("Center City"); (4) E.J. Christman Business and Industrial Park Redevelopment Project, Amendment No. 2 (" Christman 2"); (5) (6) (7) Downtown Redevelopment ("Downtown"); Downtown Amendment; and Harbor District Area. While the Commission expects businesses to add additional space which will enhance assessed values in the Project Area, other than those discussed above, the Commission has not reflected that financial effect in the Tax Revenue projections. Recent Redevelopment Projects. Redevelopment project activity is ongoing within the Project Area. For example, the City and the San Diego Unified Port District (the "Port") have been working jointly to develop portions of the Bayfront in the Harbor District Area. Accomplishrnents resulting from the City and Port working together include the 246-slip marina, restoration of Railcar Plaza and Santa Fe Historic Depot, remediation of Marina Gateway Hotel site and restaurant sites, extension of Marina Way, and streetscapc improvements. State and federal grants in this area have assisted with environmental remediation and restoration of Paradise Marsh. Over $65 million of improvements have been completed or are in process in the Bayfront/Marina Gateway Area. In addition, significant infrastructure projects have been completed including National City Boulevard improvements from 7th — 18th Streets including Morgan Square pocket park, streetscapc and landscape, Bay Marina Drive widening and streetscape Harrison Avenue to Interstate 5. Affordable housing projects such as Habitat for Humanity's 1820 G and 1441 Harding (a LEED Platinum project) have been constructed. Also the 09960.00000`5842387.4 21 award -winning two block Education Village was completed on National City Boulevard between 8th Street, Plaza Boulevard, and Roosevelt Street. The Commission believes its projects have created approximately $598,373,935 during the period 2003 — current. Proposed Redevelopment Projects and Low and Moderate Income Housing Projects. Included among the many projects anticipated to be funded through bond proceeds are implementation of the Downtown Specific Plan through mixed use development, the improvement of 8th Street from Interstate 5 to J Avenue including streetscape and public art, infrastructure improvements on State Highway 54, National City Boulevard, D and F Avenues to improve the economic viability of the National City Swap meet and Harbor Drive In sites, enhancement and improvements for Paradise Creek from Highland Avenue to Wilson Avenue, expansion of Paradise Creek Education Park, construction of a new community center within the Westside Specific Plan area, an award -winning 201 unit affordable Transit Oriented Development on the current site of the National City Public Works Center, and the complete refurbishment of Morgan and Kimball Towers senior housing project and construction of a third senior housing tower for the project. Many of the blighted conditions in the Project Area have begun to be alleviated by the acquisition, demolition, renovation and construction of property in the Project Area. The Commission believes their overall goals are being met. Lastly, within the City, specific structural blight is being addressed through the use of code enforcement, enforcement of zoning regulations, with new private sector financial infusion and increased security. However, these improvements in the Project Area have not eliminated blight completely. The following table summarizes certain facts relating to the component sub -areas of the Project Area.

In 1993, the California Legislature made significant changes in the Redevelopment Law by the adoption of AB 1290, Chapter 942, statutes of 1993 ("AB 1290"). Among the changes to the Redevelopment Law accomplished by the enactment of AB 1290 was a provision which limits the period of time for incurring and repaying loans, advanced and indebtedness which are payable from tax increment revenues. AB 1290 further required that any redevelopment plan that either did not contain the appropriate limitation or that contained limitations longer than permitted by AB 1290 must be amended by the applicable legislative body. The Commission's Plan was amended to comply with AB 1290. For a complete discussion of SB 1290, see "PROPERTY TAXES: LEGISLATION, LIMITATIONS AND PRACTICES — Redevelopment Plan Time Limits." SB 211. The California Legislature enacted SB 211, Chapter 741, Statutes 2001, effective January 1, 2002 ("SB 211"). SB 211 provides, among other things, that the limitation on incurring indebtedness contained in a redevelopment plan adopted prior to January 1, 1994, may he deleted by ordinance of the legislative body. For a complete discussion of SB 211, see "PROPERTY TAXES: LEGISLATION, LIMITATIONS AND PRACTICES — Redevelopment Plan Time Limits." SB 1045. The California Legislature enacted Senate Bill 1045, Chapter 260, Statutes 2003, effective September 1, 2003 ("SB 1045"). SB 1045 provides, among other things, that Redevelopment Plans may be amended to add one year to the effectiveness of the Redevelopment Plans and one year to the period for collection of tax increment revenues and the repayment of debt. All of the component sub -areas except the Harbor District Area were adopted before 1994. On November 22, 1994, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 94-2086 which amended the Redevelopment Plan as it existed to conform to Chapter 942. The Harbor District Area was adopted with such limitations as were required by the Redevelopment Law at the time that the amendment was adopted. On January 6, 2004, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2004-237. This ordinance amended the Redevelopment Plan so as to eliminate the January 1, 2004 deadline for incurrence of new indebtedness for all component sub -areas except Harbor District Area as authorized by SB 211. In addition this ordinance extended by one year the termination date for Project Area activities and the termination date for repayment of indebtedness from tax increment revenue for 09960.00000\5842387.4 23 all component sub -areas. The extensions and the process for implementing these amendments were authorized by SB 1045. See "PROPERTY TAXES: LEGISLATION, LIMITATION AND PRACTICES" herein. SB 1096. The Legislature adopted Senate Bill 1096, Chapter 211, Statutes of 2004, ("SB 1096"), authorizing extension of the effectiveness of redevelopment plans for an additional two years for those redevelopment plans with 20 years or less remaining. Table 3 summarizes the various limitations established by the Redevelopment Plan currently governing the component sub -areas of the Project Area with respect to tax increment and bonded indebtedness: Adoption Date Debt Incurrence Plan Effectiveness Last Date to Receive Tax Increment Tax Increment Limit Maximum Oustanding Bonded Indebtedness TABLE 3 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION OF TIIE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY (National City Redevelopment Project) Redevelopment Plan Limits Christman 1 South Bav 11/18/1969 6/24/1975 Eliminated Eliminated 11/18/2010 6/24/2016 11/18/2020 6/24/2026 Source: Urban Futures, Inc.

According to the records of the Commission, it has received a total of $69,120,281 in gross tax increment revenue from fiscal year 2005-06 through the end of fiscal year 2009-10. This amount is exclusive of revenues that have been derived from the Harbor District portion of the Project Area. This sub -area has been omitted because it was adopted after January 1, 1994 and is not, therefore, subject to a tax increment limit. Based on the assumptions used for the projection, the portions of the Project Area that are subject to a limitation on receipt of tax increment revenue will not approach the amount of the tax increment limit during the lifetime of the Project Area. The Commission believes that such tax increment limit will not impair its ability to pay debt service on the Bonds. Further, the Commission has covenanted in the Indenture not to issue or incur any Parity Debt or subordinate debt payable from Tax Revenues, if such issuance or incurrence would cause the Commission to exceed such tax increment limit and has further covenanted to take certain measures if it reaches 90% of the plan limit. On February 2, 2010, the Commission initiated steps to amend the Redevelopment Plan for the Project Area (the "Amendment"). The Commission anticipates the amendment to be adopted on July 5, 2011 and effective 30 days thereafter. The Amendment, if adopted, will accomplish the following changes in the existing Project Area: (i) increase the annual tax increment limit from $300 million to $475 million; (ii) increase the amount of bonded indebtedness from $100 million to $150 million; (iii) increase by ten (10) years the timeframe to receive tax increment and the effectiveness of redevelopment plan; (iv) increase by ten (10) years the effectiveness of the redevelopment plan; (v) modify the duration of affordability for residential projects affordable to low- to moderate -income households; (vi) reinstate the time frame to commence eminent domain on certain properties within the existing Project Area for non-residential properties for twelve (12) years from 09960.00000\5842387.4 24 the date of adoption of the ordinance approving the Amendment; and (vii) modify the exhibit to the Redevelopment Plan which delineates properties subject to eminent domain. The limits in Table 3 above do not reflect the impacts of the proposed Amendment. Compliance with Plan Limitations Because debt service on the Bonds is to be paid from Tax Revenues attributable to the Project Area, the Commission has covenanted to retain certain amounts with respect to the application of Plan Limitations. If the aggregate amount of debt service remaining to be paid on all Outstanding Bonds, any Parity Debt, and any other obligations of the Commission to which 'fax Revenues have been pledged, plus the aggregate amount remaining to be paid under the Payment Agreement (See "APPENDIX C — SUMMARY OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE INDENTURE") between the Authority and the Commission until maturity of the Bonds and any Parity Debt, plus the aggregate administration expenses of the Commission remaining to paid until maturity of the Bonds and any Parity Debt, plus the cumulative amount of Gross Revenues with respect to the Project Area received through the date of the calculation, excluding those Gross Revenues attributable to the Harbor District sub -area, at any time equals or exceeds ninety percent (90%) of the cumulative amount of Gross Revenues which the Commission is permitted to receive under the Plan Limitations applicable to the Project Area, THEN the Commission shall thereafter transfer to the Trustee all Tax Revenues with respect to the Project Area, excluding those Tax Revenues attributable to the Harbor District sub -area, not needed to pay (a) the current debt service due on the Bonds, any Parity Debt, and any other obligations to which Tax Revenues have been pledged, (b) the current amount required to be paid under the Payment Agreement between the Authority and the Commission and (c) the current amount required to pay the administration expenses of the Commission. The transferred amount shall be deposited by the Trustee in the Special Fund to be applied pursuant to the Indenture, notwithstanding anything therein to the contrary. Tax Sharing Agreements San Diego Office of Education. The Commission entered into a tax sharing agreement with the San Diego County Office of Education, dated June 12, 1991. The terms of this agreement included all portions of the Project Area except for the Harbor District Area. The Commission is required to deposit 100% of the County Office of Education's 2.12% share of tax increment revenues into a special capital improvement fund each year, for the life of the Project Area. The Commission's obligation to deposit tax increment pursuant to the provisions of the tax sharing agreement is senior to the Commission's obligation to pay debt service on the Bonds. Southwestern Community College District. The Commission entered into a tax sharing agreement with the Southwestern Community College District, dated August 6, 1991. The terms of the agreement affect the entire Project Area, except the Harbor District Added Area. The Southwestern Community College District will receive 42% of its 4.75% share of tax increment revenues commencing in fiscal year 1991-92 through the duration of the Redevelopment Plan. The Commission's obligation to deposit tax increment pursuant to the provisions of the tax sharing agreement is senior to the Commission's obligation to pay debt service on the Bonds. County of San Diego. The Commission entered into a tax sharing agreement (the "San Diego PTA") with the County, dated May 12, 1992. The terms of this agreement affect the entire Project Area by amending a previous agreement between the Commission and the County, dated April 16, 1985. The San Diego PTA applies to all component sub -areas. In regard to all component sub -areas except Ilarbor District, this agreement requires the Commission to make payments of a fixed amount to the County annually through fiscal year 2009-10. These fixed amounts are detennined by the agreement to be subordinate to payment of debt service on bonded indebtedness by the Commission. In addition, the agreement requires that through fiscal year 2014-15 the Commission pay to the County its share (24.87%) of general levy tax increment revenue derived from annual assessed value growth above a level of value that is calculated from 6% compounded annual growth in assessed value above the Project Area's 1997-98 assessed value, excluding Harbor District. 09960.00000 %5 8 423 8 7.4 25 The Project Area's assessed values have not exceeded this compounded assessed value growth in prior years and will not exceed this amount based on the projections. By the terms of the agreement, beginning in fiscal year 2015-16 the County will receive its share of general levy tax increment revenue from all component sub -areas other than Harbor District. Chapter 942 of the Statutes of 1994 required that for redevelopment projects adopted after January 1, 1994, tax sharing payments shall be made in accordance with a formula outlined in the statute and that negotiated tax sharing agreements were no longer allowed. Notwithstanding the provisions of Chapter 942, on December 3, 1996 and after negotiations with the County Chief Administrative Office, the Commission requested that the County agree to an amendment of the agreement outlined above that is intended to mandate tax sharing payments from revenues of the Harbor District sub -area. This amendment requires the Commission to pay to the County 65% of its share of the Harbor District sub -area's general levy tax increment revenue on annual assessed value growth of 5% or less. The agreement further requires that the Commission pay to the County 100% of its share of general levy tax increment derived from annual assessed value growth that is above 5%. Beginning in fiscal year 2017-18, the Commission is required to pay the County 100% of its share of general levy tax increment revenue. Statutory Tax Sharing Payments With the adoption of Ordinance 2004-237 and by eliminating the time limit on incurring indebtedness for all component projects except the Harbor District, the Commission will be required to make statutory tax sharing payments to those taxing entities that have not entered into tax sharing agreements. Within all component project sub -areas excluding the Harbor District, tax sharing payments will be made to all taxing entities in accordance with the three -tiered formulas for statutory tax sharing payments required of those project areas adopted after January 1, 1994. According to the Law, these statutory tax sharing payments will continue until the termination date of each component sub -area. As a result, for the final ten years that each component sub -area is permitted to repay indebtedness with tax revenue, there will be no statutory tax sharing payment requirement. Beginning in 2004-05 and using each component sub -area's 2003-04 assessed values as a base value but excluding the Harbor District, the Commission was obligated to pay the combined taxing entities 25% of the revenue generated by the component Project Area's annual incremental value net of the Housing Set -Aside requirement. Beginning in 2014-15 and using the Project Area's 2013-14 assessed values as a base value for the second tier of statutory tax sharing payments, the Commission will additionally be obligated to pay the combined taxing entities 21% of the revenue generated by the component Project Area's annual second tier of incremental value net of the Housing Set -Aside requirement. The third tier of statutory tax sharing payments is not initiated before the termination of the redevelopment plan. Within the Harbor District, these statutory tax sharing payments began in 2001-02, the first year that the sub -areas received tax increment revenue. The Commission is obligated to pay all taxing entities on a prorated basis 25% of the revenue generated by the component Project Area's annual incremental value net of the Housing Set -Aside requirement. Beginning in 2011-012 and using the Project Area's 2010-11 assessed values as a base value for the second tier of statutory tax sharing payments, the Commission is additionally obligated to pay the taxing entities 21% of the revenue generated by the Ilarbor District's annual second tier of incremental value net of the Housing Set -Aside requirement. The third tier of statutory tax sharing payments is initiated in Fiscal Year 2031-32 and using the sub -area's 2030-31 assessed values as a base value, the Commission will additionally be obligated to pay the taxing entities 14% of the revenue generated by the Harbor District's annual third tier of incremental value net of the Housing Set -Aside requirement. Allocation of Taxes The County Auditor -Controller is responsible for the aggregation of the taxable values assigned by the Assessor as of the January 1 lien date for property within the boundaries of the Project Area. This results in the reported total current year Project Area taxable value and becomes the basis of determining tax increment revenues due to the Commission. Although adjustments to taxable values for property within the Project Area 09960.00000\5842387.4 26 may occur throughout the fiscal year to reflect escaped assessments, roll corrections, etc., such adjustments are not assumed on the tax increment projection. The Commission is allocated most of its revenue in the months of January and May, with additional smaller payments occurring in other months. The Commission has covenanted in the Indenture to comply with all requirements of law to insure the allocation and payment to it of the Tax Revenues, including without limitation, the timely tiling of any necessary statements of indebtedness with appropriate officials of the County. Historic Assessed Value and Tax Revenues Total property tax increment revenue receipts with respect to the Project Area during fiscal year 2009- 10 were $13,980,361 based on the records of the Auditor -Controller. This total does not include the 20% Housing -Set Aside requirement, and the 1% plus overrides in addition to the supplemental assessment roll, assessment roll corrections, and prior year delinquencies and penalties. See "APPENDIX A — AUDTI'ED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE COMMISSION FOR FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2010." Tax revenues arc allocated by the Auditor Controller based on collected tax receipts and the revenue listed above are reflective of a collection rate on Fiscal Year 2009-10 revenues of %. 09960.00000\58423 87.4 27 Set forth in the following table is a detailed summary of Project Area historical assessed values for fiscal years 2005-2006 through 2009-10.

Within the Project Area, the aggregate total assessed taxable value for the ten largest taxpayers totaled $187,882,111. This amount is 11.66% of the Project Area secured assessed value and 14.24% of the $1,733,182,560 Project Area incremental value. The top taxpayer in the Project Area is Pacific Castle Bay Plaza LLC, which controls 3 secured parcels with a combined secured value of $26,467,321. The value of the 3 parcels is 2.01% of the Project Area's total incremental value and 1.64% of the total 2010-11 value. The second largest taxpayer in the Project Area is Sweetwater Associates LP that controls a total of $22,836,038 in secured assessed value on 22 parcels. This amount is 1.73% of the Project Area's aggregated incremental value and 1.42% of the Project Area's aggregated total secured 2010-11 value. The table below illustrates the percentage of incremental value for the top ten taxpayers in the Project Area and their relative importance to the Project Area's incremental value.

Appeals of Assessed Values Pursuant to California law, property owners may apply for a reduction of their property tax assessment by filing a written application, in form prescribed by the State Board of Equalization, with the appropriate county board of equalization or assessment appeals board. After the applicant and the assessor have presented their arguments, the Appeals Board makes a final decision on the proper assessed value. The Appeals Board may rule in the assessor's favor, in the applicant's favor, or the Board may set their own opinion of the proper assessed value, which may be more or less than either the assessor's opinion or the applicant's opinion. Any reduction in the assessment ultimately granted applies to the year for which the application is made and may also affect the values in subsequent years. Refunds for taxpayer overpayment of property taxes may include refunds for overpayment of taxes in years after that which was appealed. Current year values may also be adjusted as a result of a successful appeal of prior ycar values. Any taxpayer payment of property taxes that is based on a value that is subsequently adjusted downward will require a refund for overpayment. 09960.0000015842387.4 30 Appeals for reduction in the "base year" value of an assessment, if successful, reduce the assessment for the year in which the appeal is taken and prospectively thereafter. The base year is determined by the completion date of new construction or the date of change of ownership. Any base year appeal must be made within four years of the change of ownership or new construction date. Appeals may also be filed under Section 51 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, which requires that for each lien date the value of real property shall be the lesser of its base year value annually adjusted by the inflation factor pursuant to Article XIII of the State Constitution or its full cash value, taking into account reductions in value due to damage, destruction, depreciation, obsolescence, removal of property or other factors causing a decline in value. Historically, significant reductions have taken place in some counties due to declining real estate values. Reductions made under this code section may be initiated by the County Assessor or requested by the property owner. After a roll reduction is granted under this section, the property is reviewed on an annual basis to determine its full cash value and the valuation is adjusted accordingly. This may result in further reductions or in value increases. Such increases must be in accordance with the full cash value of the property and it may exceed the maximum annual inflationary growth rate allowed on other properties under Article XI11A of the State Constitution. Once the property has regained its prior value, adjusted for inflation, it once again is subject to the annual inflationary factor growth rate allowed under Article XIIIA. See "LIMITATIONS ON TAX REVENUES AND POSSIBLE SPENDING LIMITATIONS" below. There are approximately 18 appeals to the County Assessor's office pending in the Project Area. However, none of the Project Area's top ten taxpayers have pending appeals of their assessed value. There are 132 outstanding appeals as indicated in the table below.

Foreclosures Foreclosures could impact the payment of property taxes and have an adverse effect on the Commission's ability to make timely debt service payments on the Bonds. From January 1, 2010 through December 4, 2010, there were 104 foreclosures throughout the City. Forty-nine of these foreclosures are within the Project Area. Forty-six of the 49 foreclosures in the Project Area come from the Downtown Project Area. The remaining 55 foreclosures are within the City limits but are not in the Project Area. The 104 foreclosed properties represent less than 1% of the City's 10,730 parcels. 09960.00000\51142387.4 31 The following table sets forth information with respect to foreclosures in the Project Area between January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2010.

TABLE 11 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION OF TIIE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY (National City Redevelopment Project) Projected Debt Service Coverage — Fiscal Years through [TO COME] 09960.00000,5842387.4 36 RISK FACTORS The following information and factors, together with the information set forth elsewhere in this Official Statement, should be considered by prospective investors in evaluating the Bonds. However, the following do not purport to be an exhaustive listing of risks and other considerations which may be relevant to investing in the Bonds, and the order in which the following information presented is not intended to reflect the relative importance of any such risks. Other factors which could result in reduction of Tax Revenues available to the Commission and a corresponding reduction in Tax Revenues received by the Commission are discussed herein under the caption "LIMITATIONS ON TAX REVENUES AND POSSIBLE SPENDING LIMITATIONS" herein. To estimate the tax revenues available to pay debt service on the Bonds, the Commission has made certain assumptions with regard to the assessed valuation in the Project Area, future tax rates and percentage of taxes collected. The Commission believes these assumptions to be reasonable, but to the extent that the assessed valuation, the tax rates or the percentage of taxes collected are less than the Commission's assumptions, the Tax Revenues available to pay debt service on the Bonds will, in all likelihood, be less than those projected. Reduction in Tax Base/Taxable Value — Economic Factors, Property Damage and Appeals of Assessed Value Tax increment revenues allocated to the Commission (which constitute the primary security and source of payment of principal and interest on the Bonds as discussed herein) are determined by the amount of the incremental assessed value of property in the Project Area, the current rate or rates at which property in the Project Arca is taxed and the percentage of taxes collected in the Project Area. The Commission does not have any taxing power, nor does the Commission have the power to affect the rate at which the property is taxed. Several types of events beyond the control of the Commission could occur and could cause a reduction in available Tax Revenues that secure the Bonds including, among others, (a) a reduction of taxable values of property in one or more of the redevelopment projects in the Project Area caused by local or regional economic factors; (b) a relocation out of one or more of the redevelopment projects in the Project Area by one or more major property owner; (c) successful appeals by property owners for a reduction in a property's assessed values (See "THE PROJECT AREA — Appeals of Assessed Values" herein); (d) a reduction of the general inflationary rate; (e) the State electorate or Legislature could adopt further limitations with the effect of reducing the Tax Revenues; or (f) the destruction of property caused by natural or other disasters. These events are further discussed below. In such event, substantial delinquencies in the payment of property taxes to the County or assessment appeals of such property taxes by the owners of taxable property within the Project Area could have an adverse effect on the ability of the commission to make payments of principal and/or interest on the Bonds when due. See "THE PROJECT AREA — Appeals of Assessed Value" herein and "— Assessment Appeals" below. These risks may be greater where a project area has a high concentration of major taxpayers. Based on the Fiscal Year 2009-10 tax roll, the ten largest secured taxpayers in the Project Area accounted for approximately 11.66% of the total assessed value of the Project Area. Additionally, the risk of a relocation out of one or more of the redevelopment projects in the Project Area by one or more major property owners increases in proportion to the percent of total assessed value attributable to any single assessment in any Project Area. For information regarding the largest assessees of the Project Area, see the section entitled "THE PROJECT AREA — Major Taxable Property Owners" in this Official Statement. As noted above, the State electorate or Legislature could adopt further limitations with the effect of reducing the Tax Revenues. Such limitation already exists under Article XIIIA of the California Constitution, which was adopted pursuant to the initiative process. The State electorate could adopt additional similar limitations with the effect of reducing Tax Revenues. "See "-- Proposed 2011-12 Budget and Redevelopment Agencies" below. 09960.0000015842387.4 37 The County's current policy is to allocate Project Area tax increment revenues to the Commission based on the amount of property taxes collected within the project areas as adjusted for taxpayer delinquencies, taxable value adjustments, refunds due to successful assessment appeals or tax roll corrections. Substantial delinquencies in the payment of property taxes, substantial property tax refunds, significant reductions in taxable value or significant tax roll corrections could impair the timely receipt by the Commission of Tax Revenues. Real Estate and General Economic Risks The Commission's ability to make payments on the Bonds will depend upon the economic strength of the Project Area. The general economy of the Project Area will be subject to all the risks generally associated with real estate and real estate development. Projected redevelopment of real property within the Project Area by the Commission as well as private development in the Project Area, may be adversely affected by changes in general economic conditions, fluctuations in the real estate market and interest rates, unexpected increases in development costs and by other similar factors. Further, real estate development within the Project Area could be adversely affected by future governmental policies, including governmental policies to restrict or control certain kinds of development. If development and redevelopment activities in the Project Area encounter significant obstacles of the kind described herein or other impediments, the economy of the Project Area could be adversely affected, causing reduction of the Tax Revenues available to repay the Bonds. In addition, if there is a decline in the general economy of the region, the City or the Project Area, the owners of property within the Project Area may be less able or less willing to make timely payments of property taxes, causing a delay or stoppage of Tax Revenues received by the Commission from the Project Area. As a result of the downturn in the housing market, several counties in California (including the County) have reduced the assessed values of homes acquired in the peak of the real estate market in 2004 and 2005. See "THE PROJECT AREA — Appeals of Assessed Value" herein and "— Assessment Appeals" below. The Agency is aware that the County Assessor has made reductions in Fiscal Year 2009-10 assessed values in the Project Area and in the City generally. The Commission cannot predict whether the County will further reduce assessed values in the Project Area in future years. In Fiscal Year 2010-11, assessed values in the Project Area dropped approximately 3.43%. The Commission does not believe that such reductions will have a material adverse impact on Tax Revenues or the Commission's ability to pay debt service on the Bonds. However, reductions in assessed value due to current or future economic conditions in the Project Area could impact the receipt of Tax Revenues as projected by the Fiscal Consultant. See "PROJECT AREA — Projected Tax Revenues — Appeals of Assessed Values — Projected Tax Revenues — Annual Debt Service" herein. The vast majority of currently pending and closed appeals of assessed valuations are Proposition 8 appeals, which apply only to a single year. See the caption "— Assessment Appeals" below for further information with respect to Proposition 8 appeals. Assessment Appeals There are two basic types of assessment appeals provided for under State law. The first type of appeal, commonly referred to as a base year assessment appeal, involves a dispute on the valuation assigned by the county assessor immediately subsequent to a change in ownership or completion of new construction. If the base year value assigned by the county assessor is reduced, the valuation of the property cannot increase in subsequent years more than two percent annually unless and until another change in ownership and/or additional new construction activity occurs. The second type of appeal, commonly referred to as a Proposition 8 appeal, can result if factors occur causing a decline in the market value of the property to a level below the property's then current taxable value. Proposition 8 appeals apply only to a single tax year. Pursuant to State law, a property owner may apply for a Proposition 8 reduction of the property tax assessment for such owner's property by filing a written application, in the form prescribed by the State Board of Equalization, with the appropriate county board of equalization or assessment appeals board. Any reduction in the assessment ultimately granted applies only to the year for which application is made and during which the written application is filed. The assessed value increases to its pre -reduction level (escalated to the inflation rate of no more than 2%) following the year for which the reduction application is filed. However, the county 09960.00000\5842387 4 38 assessor has the power to grant a reduction not only for the year for which application was originally made, but also for the then current year and any intervening years as well. In practice, such a reduced assessment may and often does remain in effect beyond the year in which it is granted. An appeal may result in a reduction to the assessor's original taxable value and a tax refund to the applicant property owner. A reduction in present or future taxable values within the Project Area, which may arise out of successful appeals by property owners, will affect the amount of present or future tax increment received by the Commission. Assessors have the ability to use Proposition 8 criteria to apply blanket reductions in valuation to classes of properties affected by particular negative economic conditions, and the County Assessor's office did so for many residential properties on the Fiscal Year 2008-09 and Fiscal Year 2009-10 tax roll, as described in greater detail below. Such reductions in assessed values are incorporated in the Tables 4, 5, and 6 under the caption "THE PROJECT AREA." The County has experienced a high level of assessment appeals in the late 2000s, and significant appeals to assessed values in the Project Area may be filed from time to time in the future. The Agency cannot predict the extent of these appeals or their likelihood of success. The vast majority of currently pending and closed appeals are Proposition 8 appeals. For Fiscal Years 2006-07 through February 3, 2011, 396 assessment appeals were filed in the Project Area, 162 of which resulted in a cumulative reduction of $40,814,580 in the assessed value of the Project Area. There are currently 132 unresolved appeals in the Project Area requesting a cumulative reduction in assessed value of approximately $70,158,862. Of these, there will be a historical reduction rate of 21.78% applied based on historical reduction rates in the Project Area. This will bring the allowed reduction amount to $15,281,861. The Fiscal consultant has not made any adjustment to its projections as a result of these pending appeals. The Commission does not believe that such reduction would have a material adverse impact on the Commission's ability to pay debt service on the Bonds. See Tables: Assessment Appeals and Projected Revenues. The cumulative reduction in the Project Area assessed values resulted from actions by the County Assessor's office to reduce assessed valuations for Fiscal Years 2008-09 and 2009-10 for residential properties in the Project Area in response to the effects of the downturn in the financial and housing markets as well as the impact of the national and local recession. In establishing the assessed valuations for the Fiscal Year 2008-09 and Fiscal Year 2009-10 equalized tax roll, the County Assessor's office undertook a comprehensive review of all projects that were developed and sold between 2003 and 2008 and lowered the assessed value of many of the homes in such projects. Assessed valuations in the Fiscal Year 2010-1011 equalized tax roll reflect property values as of January 1, 2010, but do not reflect any changes in property values that have occurred since then. Since Article XIIIA was approved, the annual adjustment for inflation has fallen below the 2% limitation times: for 1993/94, 1%; for 1995/96, 1.19%; for 1996/97, L 11 %; for 1999/00, 1.853%; [ANY OTHERS?]. The Commission is unable to predict if any adjustments to the full cash value base of real property within the Project Area, whether an increase or a reduction, will be realized in the future. Levy and Collection of Taxes, Tax Delinquencies, and Foreclosures The Commission has no independent power to levy and collect property taxes. Any reduction in the tax rate or the implementation of any constitutional or legislative property tax decrease could reduce the Tax Revenues. Such event could have an adverse impact on the ability of the Commission to repay the Bonds. Similarly, delinquencies in the Commission's receipt of property tax payments and the impact of bankruptcy proceedings or other delaying circumstances could have an adverse effect on the Commission's ability to make timely debt service payments. Conversely, the Commission will benefit from Tax Revenue generated by penalties and interest charged on delinquent property taxes. For Fiscal Year 2009-10, the delinquency rate in the County was 2.8%. 09960.00000\5842387.4 39 In addition, foreclosures could impact the payment of property taxes and have an adverse effect on the Commission's ability to make timely debt service payments on the Bonds. From January 1, 2010 through December 4, 2010, there were 104 foreclosures throughout the City. Forty-nine of these foreclosures are within the Project Area. Forty-six of the 49 foreclosures in the Project Area come from the Downtown Project Area. The remaining 55 foreclosures are within the City limits but are not in the Project Area. The 104 foreclosed properties represent less than 1% of the City's 10,730 parcels. The Fiscal Consultant has determined that the foreclosure activity has had little to no effect on property values. The market values of the foreclosed properties are actually greater than assessed values, which the Fiscal Consultant has determined supports the findings that foreclosure activity has had a minimal impact on the City and the Commission. In addition to the foregoing, there are 109 properties that have received notices of default. Of the 109, only 9 properties have received notices of trustee sale. Estimates, Assumptions and Projections of Tax Revenues To estimate the total Tax Revenues available to pay debt service on the Bonds, the Commission's Fiscal Consultant has made certain assumptions with regard to the assessed valuation in the Project Area, future tax rates, the percentage of taxes collected, and the likelihood of appeals. See "LIMITATION ON TAX REVENUES" herein. Additional Obligations -Bonds As described in "SECURITY FOR THE BONDS — Issuance of Parity Debt," the Commission may issue or incur obligations payable from Tax Revenues on a parity with its pledge of Tax Revenues to payment of debt service on the Bonds. The existence of and the potential for such obligations increases the risks associated with the Commission's payment of debt service on the Bonds in the event of a decrease in the Commission's collection of `fax Revenues. Restored Value (Article XIIIA Litigation) Properties that have been subject to downward valuation by the county assessors as a result of natural disasters, economic downturns or other factors, have often had that value restored by the assessors (up to the pre- decline value of the property) at rates higher than 2% per annum depending on the success of repairs following a disaster or the speed of a rebound from an economic downturn. All fifty-eight county assessors have followed this procedure, which is codified in Section 51 of the California Revenue and Taxation Code. In Minute Order issued on November 2, 2001 in County of Orange v. Orange County Assessment Appeals Board No. 3, case no. 00CC03385, the Orange County Superior Court held that where a home's taxable value did not increase for two years, due to a flat real estate market, the Orange County assessor violated the two percent inflation adjustment provision of Article XIIIA, when the assessor tried to "recapture" the tax value of the property by increasing its assessed value by 4% in a single year. The assessors in all California counties, including San Diego County, use a similar methodology in raising the taxable values of property beyond 2% in a single year. The State Board of Equalization has approved this methodology for increasing assessed values. The Superior Court ruling was appealed by the Orange County Assessor and oral arguments before Division 3 of the 4th District Court of Appeals in Santa Ana were heard on January 7, 2004. On March 26, 2004, the Fourth Appellate District of the of the Court of Appeal of the State of California ruled that under Proposition 13 the base year of real property on which the inflation factor is figured remains the original purchase price or assessment at the time of new construction even though the taxable value may be reduced by general deflation or natural disaster. On May 5, 2004, the respondent filed a petition to the California Supreme Court for review of the decision published by the Court of Appeal. On July 21, 2004, the California Supreme Court denied the petition to review the decision by the Court of Appeal. This action concluded the legal review of this case. 09960.00000,5842387.4 40 Unsecured Value Because of the difficulty in precisely allocating the value of unsecured property such as cable TV lines to individual parcels, the County Assessor has historically aggregated the value of unsecured property in a particular area and placed that aggregate value on one or more specific parcels. If the Assessor were to pick a parcel outside of the Project Area to aggregate such unsecured value, the Tax Revenues for the Project Area would be significantly reduced. The Commission believes that the Assessor is obligated by law to attribute the fair value of unsecured property in a project area to that project area. Bankruptcy Risks The enforceability of the rights and remedies of the owners of the Bonds and the obligations of the Commission may become subject to the following: the federal bankruptcy code and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally, now or hereafter in effect; usual equitable principles which may limit the specific enforcement under state law of certain remedies; the exercise by the United States of America of the powers delegated to it by the federal Constitution; and the reasonable and necessary exercise, in certain exceptional situations of the police power inherent in the sovereignty of the State of California and its governmental bodies in the interest of servicing a significant and legitimate public purpose. Bankruptcy proceedings, or the exercise of powers by the federal or state government, if initiated, could subject the owners of the Bonds to judicial discretion and interpretation of their rights in bankruptcy or otherwise and consequently may entail risks of delay, limitation, or modification of their rights. Limited Obligations Represented by The Bonds The Bonds are not a debt of the City of National City, the State of California or any of its political subdivisions (other than the Commission to the extent set forth herein). The Bonds are special obligations of the Commission payable, as to interest and principal thereof and premiums, if any, upon redemption thereof, excluding from the Tax Revenues and are initially secured by a pledge therein. None of the Bonds constitute an indebtedness within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory debt limitation or restriction, and neither the members of the Commission or any persons executing the Bonds shall be personally liable by reason of their issuance. Concentration of Ownership The Project Area consists of approximately 2,400 [CONFIRM] acres and the top ten assessee account for 11.6% of the total assessed value of the Project Area. See Table 6 — Major Taxable Property Owners herein. The failure of one or more of the top tax assessee to timely pay the taxes on their property or substantial damage or destruction to their property may have a material effect on the Commission's ability to make payments on the Bonds. Tax Increment Liinitation The Commission has a limit on the amount of tax increment the Commission may receive with respect to the Project Area of $300 million increased annually for inflation, currently $ for 2011. See "THE PROJECT AREA - Redevelopment Plan Limitations." The Commission has received $13,980,361 attributable to the Project Area through Fiscal Year ending June 30, 2010 (See "APPENDIX A — AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE COMMISSION FOR FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2010"). The amount pledged on all outstanding indebtedness, including the Cormnission's obligations under the Bonds, (assuming debt service paid as scheduled), is not expected to exceed the applicable tax increment limitation. 09960.00000\5842387 4 41 Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund; State Budget ERAF. In connection with the approval of the State budget for State fiscal years 1992-93, 1993-94, 1994-95, 2002-03, 2003-04, 2004-05, 2005-06, 2008-09 and 2009-10, the State Legislature enacted legislation which, among other things, reallocated funds from redevelopment agencies to school districts by shifting a portion of each agency's Tax Increment, net of amounts due to other taxing agencies, to school districts for such Fiscal Years for deposit in the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund ("ERAF"). The amount required to be paid by each redevelopment agency under such legislation was apportioned among all of its redevelopment project areas on a collective basis, and was not allocated separately to individual project areas. Since Fiscal Year 2002-03, approximately $696,894 of Tax Increment has been shifted from the Commission into ERAF and SERAF (as defined below under the caption "— Fiscal Year 2009-10 State Budget"). In connection with the State budget for Fiscal Year 2010-11, an estimated $1,062,028 of Tax Increment will be shifted from the Commission into SERAF in Fiscal Year 2010-11. The Commission plans to pay this amount from existing funds on hand, and does not plan to borrow moneys from the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund. The Commission does not anticipate that the payment of this amount or the payment of additional ERAF amounts in the future will affect the ability of the Commission to pay debt service on the Bonds. Fiscal Year 2008/09 State Budget. On September 24, 2008, the State Legislature adopted, and the Governor of the State signed, a bill known as Assembly Bill 1389, Chapter 751, Statutes 2008 ("AB 1389"). Among other things, AB 1389 required redevelopment agencies to pay into ERAF prior to May 10, 2009 an aggregate amount of $350 million, of which the Commission was to pay approximately $1,095,723. Such payment obligations were to be subordinate to payments on bonds secured by Tax Increment. However, on April 30, 2009, the Superior Court for the State of California, County of Sacramento, held in California Redevelopment Association v. Genest (Case No. 34-2008-00028334) that such required payment into ERAF violated the State Constitution and invalidated and enjoined the operation of the section in AB 1389 requiring such payment. On September 23, 2009, the State filed an Abandonment of Appeal, abandoning its appeal of the decision of the Superior Court. Fiscal Year 2009/10 State Budget. In connection with legislation related to the State's fiscal year 2009- 10 budget, in late July 2009, the State Legislature adopted, and the Governor of the State signed, Chapter 21, Statutes of 2009/10 Fourth Extraordinary Session (AB 26). Such legislation was subsequently amended in November 2009 by Chapter 652, Statutes of 2009 (SB 68) (as amended, the "2009 SERAF Legislation"). The 2009 SERAF Legislation mandates that redevelopment agencies make deposits to the Supplemental Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund ("SERAF") that is established in each county treasury the aggregate amounts of $1.7 billion prior to May 10, 2010 and $350 mullion prior to May 10, 2011. On May 10, 2010, the Commission deposited into SERAF the amount of $5,163,417 as its SERAF payment for Fiscal Year 2009/10 (the "Commission 2010 SERAF Amount"). The Commission's required Fiscal Year 2010-11 payment pursuant to the 2009 SERAF Legislation will be approximately $1,062,028 (the "Commission 2011 SERAF Amount"). Pursuant to the 2009 SERAF Legislation, redevelopment agencies may make the required SERAF deposits from any funds that are legally available and not legally obligated for other uses, including reserve funds, proceeds of land sales, proceeds of bonds or other indebtedness, lease revenues, interest and other earned income. The 2009 SERAF Legislation also provides that redevelopment agencies may borrow from the amounts required to be allocated to their Low and Moderate Income Housing Funds to make the required SERAF deposits for Fiscal Year 2009-10. The Commission paid the Commission 2010 SERAF Amount from moneys on hand and not from money borrowed from the available fund balance in the Commission's Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund. 09960.00000\5842387.4 42 Potential sources of funds the Commission may use to pay the SERAF include Fiscal Year 2010-11 Tax Increments and available moneys on deposit in Commission funds, including the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund. Additionally, the Commission could, in the future, access the bond market to fund the current or any future tax shifts. The 2009 SERAF Legislation contains provisions that subordinate the obligation of redevelopment agencies to make the SERAF payments specified therein to certain indebtedness. Health and Safety Code § 33690(a)(3), which was added by the 2009 SERAF Legislation, states: "The obligation of any agency to make the payments required pursuant to this subdivision shall be subordinate to the lien of any pledge of collateral securing, directly or indirectly, the payment of the principal, or interest on any bonds of the agency including, without limitation, bonds secured by a pledge of taxes allocated to the agency pursuant to Section 33670" of the California Health and Safety Code." In addition, the 2009 SERAF Legislation imposes various restrictions on redevelopment agencies that fail to timely make the required SERAF payments, including: (i) a prohibition on adding or expanding project areas; (ii) a prohibition on the incurrence of additional debt; (iii) limitations on the encumbrance and expenditure of funds, including funds for operation and administration expenses; and (iv) commencing with the July 1 following the due date of a SERAF annual payment that is not timely made, the allocation of an additional 5% of all taxes that are allocated to the redevelopment agency under the Law for low and moderate income housing for the remainder of the time that the applicable redevelopment agency receives allocations of Tax Increment under the Law. The 5% additional housing set -aside penalty provision referred to in the 2009 SERAF Legislation (the "Penalty Set -Aside Requirement") would be in addition to the 20% of such Tax Increment already required to be deposited in the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund. A redevelopment agency that borrows from amounts required to be allocated to its Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund or any moneys in such fund, or both, to make required SERAF payments, but does not timely repay the funds, may also be subject to the Penalty Set -Aside Requirement. As described above, the Commission has paid the Commission 2010 SERAF Amount and believes that it will be able to timely pay the Commission 2011 SERAF Amount on or before May 10, 2011. On May 4, 2010, the Superior Court for the State of California, County of Sacramento, upheld the 2009 SERAF Legislation from Constitutional challenge by redevelopment agencies in California Redevelopment Association v. Michael C. Genest (Case No. 34-2009-80000359) (the "2009 SERAF Litigation"). The challengers to the 2009 SERAF Legislation have appealed the Superior Court's decision. The Commission cannot predict the outcome of the 2009 SERAF Litigation. The 2009 SERAF Legislation provides that when a redevelopment agency has allocated the full amount of a required SERAF payment, the legislative body may amend a redevelopment plan to extend by one year the time limits on the effectiveness of the plan and the repayment of indebtedness (the "SERAF Extension"). Under the Law, the SERAF Extension also has the effect of extending by one year the time limit to receive property taxes. On November 2, 2010, the voters of the State approved a ballot initiative known as Proposition 22, pursuant to which the State is prohibited from shifting, taking, borrowing or restricting the use of tax revenues dedicated by law to, among other things, funding redevelopment agencies and other local government services. Although the passage of Proposition 22 will have no impact upon the Commission's obligation to pay the Commission 2011 SERAF Amount, the State Legislative Analyst's Office (the "LAO") has stated that the measure prohibits the State from enacting new laws that require redevelopment agencies to shift funds to schools or other agencies. No assurance can be provided that Proposition 22 will be implemented as contemplated by the LAO. In addition, Proposition 22 is subject to interpretation by the courts and there can be no assurance that the measure will not be challenged by the State or other parties or repealed by the voters of the State in the future. Current Budget Issues. On December 6, 2010, Governor Schwarzenegger called an emergency session of the Legislature into session to address the $6.1 billion projected deficit for fiscal year 2010-11. During budget 09960.00000\5842387.4 43 briefings held in December 2010, then Governor elect Jerry Brown announced that the likely deficit between now and June 30, 2012 had likely grown from the $25.1 billion reported in the Fiscal Outlook Report to approximately $28 billion. On January 3, 2011, Jerry Brown was sworn in as Governor. On January 10, 2011, Governor Jerry Brown released his proposed budget for fiscal year 2011-12 ("Proposed Budget"). The Proposed Budget is designed to address an estimated budget shortfall of $25.4 billion in the fiscal year 2011-12 California State Budget. The budget shortfall consists of an $8.2 billion projected deficit for fiscal year 2010-11 and a $17.2 billion gap between projected revenues and spending in fiscal year 2011-12. The Governor's proposal includes approximately $12.5 billion in budget cuts, $12 billion in tax extensions and changes, and $1.9 billion in other solutions. The Governor is calling for a statewide special election in June to extend for five more years tax measures currently set to expire. The Proposed Budget proposes elimination of the current funding mechanism for redevelopment agencies (the "RDA Provisions"), although only limited details are provided for such a far-reaching proposal. The RDA Provisions, if adopted, would prohibit existing agencies from creating new contracts or obligations effective upon enactment of urgency legislation. By July 1, existing agencies would be disestablished and successor local agencies would be required to use the tax increment revenues that redevelopment agencies would otherwise have received to retire redevelopment agency debts and contractual obligations "in accordance with existing payment schedules." The RDA Provisions would divert an estimated $1.7 billion in fiscal year 2011-12 to offset State General Fund costs for Medi-Cal and trial courts. An additional estimated $210 million would be distributed on a one-time basis to cities, counties, and special districts proportionate to their current share of the countywide property tax. The RDA Provisions propose that, after fiscal year 2011-12, the money available after payment of the redevelopment agency debt and contractual obligations would be distributed to schools, counties, cities, and non -enterprise special districts for general uses. As to Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund balances, the Proposed Budget provides that amounts in the redevelopment agency's balances reserved for low -moderate income housing would be shifted to local housing authorities for low and moderate income housing. In lieu of redevelopment, the Proposed Budget proposes a new financing mechanism for economic development. Specifically, the Proposed Budget proposes that the Constitution be amended to provide for 55% voter approval for limited tax increases and bonding against local revenues for development projects such as are currently done by redevelopment agencies. Voters in each affected jurisdiction would be required to approve use of their tax revenues for these purposes. In a statement accompanying release of the Proposed Budget, State Finance Director Ana Matosantos indicated that the new financing mechanism may be included in a proposal following approval of the Proposed Budget, possibly in 2012. Implementation of the Proposed Budget, including the RDA Provisions, will require implementing legislation by the Legislature and perhaps voter approval as to certain material elements and may include terms which are not yet proposed which are material to the Commission and the Bonds. The Commission cannot predict the ultimate form of such legislation, if any is adopted. Elernents of the RDA Provisions, including the economic development program authorization, contemplate voter approval through the initiative process. It is possible that Proposition 22, which amended the State Constitution to prohibit state diversion of redevelopment agency revenues generally, will affect the State's ability to implement the RDA Provisions. It is possible that the Governor and the Legislature may seek voter approval of changes to the terms of Proposition 22 that are in conflict with the Proposed Budget, including the RDA Provisions. The Commission cannot predict the timing, terms or ultimate implementation of any such final legislation or voter initiative measures, or the impact on the Commission or the 2011 Bonds of any proposed, interim or final legislative and constitutional changes which may be adopted arising out of the Proposed Budget. The LAO released its Overview of the Governor's Budget ("LAO Overview") on January 12, 2011. As it relates to the RDA Provisions, the LAO Overview suggests the proposal has merit "but faces considerable 09960.00000 V 842387.4 44 implementation issues." The LAO Overview notes that "the administration's plan will require considerable work by the Legislature to sort through many legal, financial and policy issues. Several voter- approved constitutional measures, for example, constrain the State's authority to redirect redevelopment funds, use property tax revenues to pay for State programs, or impose increased costs on local agencies. In addition, the administration's plan does not address many related issues, such as clarifying the future financial responsibility for low- and moderate- income housing (currently, a redevelopment program)." The LAO suggests that the Proposed Budget may understate the debt of redevelopment agencies and therefore the availability of additional revenues to assist with the State budget issues. Finally, the LAO Overview recommends that the Legislature pass urgency legislation as soon as possible prohibiting redevelopment agencies, during the period of legislative review, from taking actions that increase their debt in light of the considerable work that will be required of the Legislature to develop the statutory measures to implement the RDA Provisions. On February 3, 2011, the California Senate Budget and Finance Review Subcommittee conducted a hearing on the RDA Provisions of the Proposed Budget. On February 7, 2011, the California Assembly Budget Subcommittee conducted hearings on the RDA Provisions of the Proposed Budget. On February 9, 2011, the California Senate Committee on Governance and Finance conducted hearings on the RDA Provisions of the Proposed Budget. There are a variety of ways in which the Proposed Budget and the RDA Provisions, if adopted, could impact the Commission and the Bonds, although the Commission is not able to predict the full variety or extent of these impacts, and the impacts will vary greatly depending on the final terms of laws adopted to implement the Proposed Budget and the RDA Provisions: (i) The RDA Provisions, if adopted, could impact the Commission's activities and programs generally and could reduce or eliminate its fund balances and staffing. (ii) The RDA Provisions, if adopted, could affect the Commission's compliance with and performance under existing contracts and obligations. (iii) Subject to certain "contract clause" protections described below, the RDA Provisions could affect the Commission's compliance with and performance under the terms of the Indenture and the Bonds. These impacts could relate to the amount or availability of property tax revenue, Tax Increment revenues, Tax Revenues or Housing Tax Revenues for the Bonds and other uses, the manner of application of Tax Revenues or housing Tax Revenues to debt service, flow of funds, use of Bond proceeds to fund new projects, compliance with Indenture covenants, continuing disclosure and other matters. (iv) Pending final adoption of laws to implement the RDA Provisions, interim proposals could affect the activities of the Commission and the value of the Bonds. (v) The RDA Provisions if adopted and implemented, most significantly the elimination of redevelopment agencies and the redeployment of tax increment revenues affecting redevelopment agencies, would almost certainly raise legal and practical issues, some of which may be subject to litigation and ultimate resolution in the courts, or subsequent legislative action. These issues could affect the Commission and its compliance with the terms of the Indentures and the Bonds, and resolution of these issues could involve expense and delay or modification of certain of the rights of Bondholders in ways that the Commission cannot predict. Article I, section 10 of the United States Constitution provides that "No state shall ... pass any ... law impairing the obligation of contracts." Article I, section 9 of the State Constitution provides that a "law impairing the obligation of contracts may not be passed." Each of these provisions is generally referred to as a "contracts clause." Federal courts have applied a fact -based three-part test to determine whether a state law violates the federal contracts clause. In general, the test compares any impairment against the significant and legitimate public purpose behind the state law; there is no absolute prohibition against impairment. The Commission cannot predict the applicable scope of "contract clause" protections to the Bonds and the RDA Provisions as they may ultimately be implemented. Protection of the rights of Bondholders and 09960.0000015842387.4 45 enforcement of the terms of the Indentures, if necessary, could involve expense and delay including with respect to the determination of the applicable scope of the "contract clause" provisions. Should legislation be introduced adversely impacting the Commission's receipt of tax increment revenues or the Commission's ability to issue the Bonds or impose additional limitations or burdens on the Commission or the Authority by reason of the issuance of the Bonds, the Commission has the right under the bond purchase agreement with the Underwriter to not proceed in issuing the Bonds. The Commission cannot predict what actions will be taken in the future by the voters of the State, the State Legislature and the Governor to deal with changing State revenues and expenditures and the repercussions they may have on the current tiscal year State Budget, the Proposed Budget and future State budgets, or their impact on the Commission. These developments at the State level, whether related to the Proposed Budget or not, may, in turn, affect local governments and agencies, including the Commission. Even if the proposals affecting the Commission in the Proposed Budget are not adopted, the State Legislature may adopt other legislation from time to time requiring redevelopment agencies to make other payments to ERAF or SERAF or to make other payments. The impact that current and future State fiscal shortfalls will have on the Commission is unknown at this time. In prior years, the State has experienced budgetary difficulties and as in the Proposed Budget, balanced its budget by requiring local political subdivisions, such as the County, the Authority and the Commission, to fund certain costs previously borne by the State. Risk of Earthquake and Other Natural Disasters Natural disasters, includes floods and earthquakes, could damage improvements and/or property in the Project Area or impair the ability of landowners within the Project Area to develop their properties or to pay property taxes. Earthquakes. The State is subject to periodic earthquake activity. If an earthquake were to substantially damage or destroy taxable property within the Project Area, the assessed valuation of such property would be reduced. Such a reduction of assessed valuations could result in a reduction of the Tax Revenues that secure the Bonds, thereby impairing ability of the Cormnission to make payments of principal of and/or interest on the Bonds, when due. According to information in the City's General Plan, the most potentially harmful hazard in the City and in the County is seismic activity. The Sweetwater fault runs through the far eastern edge of the City but is considered to be inactive. Floods. The property within the Project Area is generally not within any designated flood plain areas. Hazardous Substances The discovery of hazardous substances on the property in the Project Area is an additional environmental condition that may result in the reduction in the assessed value of property would be the discovery of a hazardous substance that would limit the beneficial use of taxable property within the Project Area. In general, the owners and operators of a property may be required by law to remedy conditions of the property relating to releases or threatened releases of hazardous substances. The Federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, sometimes referred to as CERCLA or the Superfund Act, is the most well known and widely applicable of these laws and State laws with regard to hazardous substances are also stringent and similar. Under many of these laws, the owner or operator may be required to remedy a hazardous substance condition of property whether or not the owner or operator has anything to do with creating or handling the hazardous substance. The effect, therefore, should any of the property within the Project Area be affected by a hazardous substance, could be to reduce the marketability and value of the property by the costs of remedying the condition and/or other amounts. Secondary Market There can be no guarantee that there will be a secondary market for the Bonds, or, if a secondary market exists, that such Bonds can be sold for any particular price. Occasionally, because of general market conditions or because of adverse history or economic prospects connected with a particular issue, secondary marketing 09960.00000\5842387.4 46 practices in connection with a particular issue are suspended or terminated. Additionally, prices of issues for which a market is being made will depend upon the then prevailing circumstances. Such prices could be substantially different from the original purchase price. Loss of Tax Exemption As discussed under the caption "TAX MATTERS" herein, interest on the Bonds could become includable in gross income for purposes of federal income taxation retroactive to the date the Bonds were issued as a result of future acts or omissions of the Commission in violation of its covenants contained in the Second Supplemental Indenture of Trust. Should such an event of taxability occur, the Bonds are not subject to special redemption or any increase in interest rate and may remain outstanding until maturity. PROPERTY TAXES: LEGISLATION, LIMITATIONS AND PRACTICES Property Tax Limitations - Article XIIIA of State Constitution California voters, on June 6, 1978, approved an amendment (commonly known as both Proposition 13 and the Jarvis -Gann Initiative) to the California Constitution. This amendment, which added Article XIIIA to the California Constitution, among other things, limits the amount of any ad valorem tax on real property to one percent (1%) of the full cash value as described below. The amendment defines the full cash value of property to mean "the county assessor's valuation of real property as shown on the 1975/76 tax bill under full cash value, or thereafter, the appraised value of real property when purchased, newly constructed, or a change in ownership has occurred after the 1975 assessment." The full cash value may be adjusted annually to reflect inflation at a rate not to exceed 2% per year, or any reduction in the consumer price index or comparable local data, or any reduction in the event of declining property value caused by damage, destruction or other factors. As noted above, the amendment further limits the amount of any ad valorem tax on real property to 1% of the full cash value except that additional taxes may be levied to pay debt service on indebtedness approved by the voters prior to July 1, 1978. In addition, an amendment to Article XIII was adopted in June 1986 by initiative which exempts any bonded indebtedness approved by two-thirds of the votes cast by voters for the acquisition or improvement of real property from the 1 percent limitation. In the general elections of 1986, 1988, 1990 and 1996, the voters of the State approved various measures which amended Article XIIIA as described below. One such amendment generally provides that the purchase or transfer of (i) real property between spouses or (ii) the principal residence and the first $1,000,000 of the full cash value of other real property between parents and children, do not constitute a -purchase" or "change of ownership" triggering reassessment under Article XIIIA. Other amendments permitted the Legislature to allow persons over 55 Who sell their residence and, on or after November 5, 1986, buy or build another of equal or lesser value within two years in the same county, to transfer the old residence's assessed value to the new residence, and permitted the Legislature to authorize each county under certain circumstances to adopt an ordinance making such transfers or assessed value applicable to situations in which the replacement dwelling purchased or constructed after November 8, 1988, is located within the county and the original property is located in another county within the State. In the October 1990 election, the voters approved additional amendments to Article XIIIA permitting the State Legislature to extend the replacement dwelling provisions applicable to persons over 55 to severely disabled homeowners for replacement dwellings purchased or newly constructed on or after June 5, 1990, and to exclude from the definition of "new construction" triggering reassessment improvements to certain dwellings for the purpose of making the dwelling more accessible to severely disabled persons. In the November 1990 election, the voters approved the amendment of Article XIIIA to permit the State Legislature to exclude from the definition of "new construction" seismic retrofitting improvements or improvements utilizing earthquake hazard mitigation technologies constructed or installed in existing buildings after November 6, 1990. In the March 1996 primary election, the voters approved a further amendment to Article XIIIA which extended the above -described parent -child reassessment exemption to transfers from grandparents to grandchildren under certain circumstances. 09960.00000 58423874 47 In addition, Proposition 1 was adopted by initiative in the November 1998 general election. Proposition 1 further amends Article XIIIA to allow the repair or replacement of environmentally contaminated property or structures without increasing the tax valuation of the original or replacement property. The State's Legislative Analyst estimated the passage of Proposition 1 would result in "property tax revenue losses probably less than $1 million annually in the near term to schools, counties, cities, and special districts." The Commission has no power to levy and collect taxes. Any further reduction in the tax rate or the implementation of any constitutional or legislative property tax de -emphasis will reduce Tax Revenues and, accordingly, would have an adverse impact on the ability of the Commission to pay debt service on the Bonds. Legislation Implementing Article XIIIA Legislation enacted by the California Legislature to implement Article XIIIA (Statutes of 1978, Chapter 292, as amended) provides that, notwithstanding any other law, local agencies may not levy any property tax, except to pay debt service on indebtedness approved by the voters prior to July 1, 1978, and that each county will levy the maximum tax permitted by Article XIIIA. The apportionment of property taxes in fiscal years after 1978/79 has been revised pursuant to Statutes of 1979, Chapter 282 which provides relief funds from State moneys beginning in fiscal year 1978/79 and is designed to provide a permanent system for sharing State taxes and budget surplus funds with local agencies. Under Chapter 282, cities and counties receive about one-third more of the remaining property tax revenues collected under Proposition 13 instead of direct State aid. School districts receive a correspondingly reduced amount of property taxes, but receive compensation directly from the State and are given additional relief. Future assessed valuation growth allowed under Article XIIIA (new construction, change of ownership, 2% annual value growth) will be allocated on the basis of "situs" among the jurisdictions that serve the tax rate area within which the growth occurs except for certain utility property assessed by the State Board of Equalization which is allocated by a different method discussed herein. Property Tax Collection Procedures Classifications. In California, property which is subject to ad valorem taxes is classified as "secured" or "unsecured." Secured and unsecured property are entered on separate parts of the assessment roll maintained by the county assessor. The secured classification includes property on which any property tax levied by the County becomes a lien on that property sufficient, in the opinion of the county assessor, to secure payment of the taxes. Every tax which becomes a lien on secured property has priority over all other liens on the secured property, regardless of the time of the creation of other liens. A tax levied on unsecured property does not become a lien against unsecured property, but may become a lien on certain other property owned by the taxpayer. Collections. The method of collecting delinquent taxes is substantially different for the two classifications of property. The taxing authority has four ways of collecting unsecured property taxes in the absence of timely payment by the taxpayer: (1) a civil action against the taxpayer; (2) filing a certificate in the office of the county clerk specifying certain facts in order to obtain a judgment lien on certain property of the taxpayer; (3) filing a certificate of delinquency for record in the county recorder's office, in order to obtain a lien on certain property of the taxpayer; and (4) seizure and sale of the personal property, improvements or possessory interests belonging or assessed to the assessee. Penalties. A 10% penalty is added to delinquent taxes which have been levied with respect to property on the secured roll. In addition, property on the secured roll on which taxes are delinquent is declared in default on or about June 30 of the fiscal year. Such property may thereafter be redeemed by payment of the delinquent taxes and a delinquency penalty, plus a redemption penalty of 1.5% per month to the time of redemption and a $15 Redemption Fee. If taxes are unpaid for a period of five years or more, the property is recorded in a "Power to Sell" status and is subject to sale by the county tax collector. A 10% penalty also applies to the delinquent 09960.00000\5842387.4 48 taxes on property on the unsecured roll, and further, an additional penalty of 1 1/2% per month accrues with respect to such taxes beginning the first day of the third month following the delinquency date. Delinquencies. The valuation of property is determined as of January 1 each year and equal installments of taxes levied upon secured property become delinquent on the following December 10 and April 10. Taxes on unsecured property are due January 1. Unsecured taxes enrolled by July 31, if unpaid, are delinquent August 31 at 5:00 p.m. and are subject to penalty; unsecured taxes added to roll after July 31, if unpaid, are delinquent on the last day of the month succeeding the month of enrollment. Supplemental Assessments. A bill enacted in 1983, SB 813 (Statutes of 1983, Chapter 498), provides for the supplemental assessment and taxation of property as of the occurrence of a change in ownership or completion of new construction. The statute may provide increased revenue to redevelopment agencies to the extent that supplemental assessments as a result of new construction or changes of ownership occur within the boundaries of redevelopment projects subsequent to the lien date. To the extent such supplemental assessments occur within the Project Area, Tax Revenues may increase. Tax Collection Fees. SB 2557 (Chapter 466, Statutes of 1990) authorizes county auditors to determine property tax administration costs proportionately attributable to local jurisdictions and to submit invoices to the jurisdictions for such costs. Subsequent legislation specifically includes redevelopment agencies among the entities which are subject to a property tax administration charge. For 1999-00, the amount of such costs was $34,702 for the Project Area. In addition, the County charges a redevelopment service fee. For 1999-00 the aggregate redevelopment fee for the Project Area was $36,117.14. Such costs and fees are deducted prior to a determination of Tax Revenues which are pledged to repay the Bonds. No Power to Tax The Commission has no power to levy and collect property taxes, and any property tax limitation, legislative measure, voter initiative or provisions of additional sources of income to taxing agencies having the effect of reducing the property tax rate, could reduce the amount of Tax Revenues that would otherwise be available to pay the principal of, and interest on, the Bonds. Likewise, broadened property tax exemptions could have a similar effect. The Bonds are not a debt of the City, the State of California or any of its political subdivisions other than the Commission, and neither the City, State, nor any of its political subdivisions other than the Commission is liable. The Bonds do not constitute indebtedness within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory debt limit or restriction on the amount of debt. Appropriations Limitations - Article XIIIB of the State Constitution On November 6, 1979, the voters approved Proposition 4, known as the Gann Initiative, which added Article XIIIB to the California Constitution. Under Article XIIIB, state and local government entities have an annual "appropriations limit" which limits the ability to spend certain moneys which are called "appropriations subject to limitation" (consisting of tax revenues and certain state subventions together called "proceeds of taxes" and certain other funds) in an amount higher than the "appropriations limit." Article XIIIB does not affect the appropriation of moneys which are excluded from the definition of "appropriations limit," including debt service on indebtedness existing or authorized as of January 1, 1979, or bonded indebtedness subsequently approved by two-thirds of the voters. In general terms, the "appropriations limit" is to be based on certain Fiscal Year 1978-79 expenditures, and is to be adjusted annually to reflect changes in the consumer price index, population and services provided by these entities. Among other provisions of Article XIIIB, if the revenues of such entities in any year exceed the amounts permitted to be spent, the excess would have to be returned by revising tax rates or fee schedules over the subsequent two years. To the extent of any such revision in tax rates or fee schedules over the subsequent two years, Pledged Tax may be affected since tax allocations to the Commission are a product of the combination of tax rates levied by certain taxing agencies having jurisdiction within the Project Area. 09960.000105842387.4 49 Statutes of 1980, Chapter 13.2 (Senate Bill 1972), enacted by the California Legislature and effective as an urgency measure of November 30, 1980, added Section 33678 to the Redevelopment Law. Section 33678 provides that the allocation and payment of taxes to the Commission for the purpose of paying the principal of or interest on loans, advances or indebtedness incurred for redevelopment activities, as defined therein, shall not be deemed the receipt by the Commission of proceeds of taxes levied by or on behalf of the Commission within the meaning or for the purposes of Article XIIIB of the California Constitution, nor shall such portion of taxes be deemed receipt of proceeds of taxes by, or an appropriation subject to the limitation of, any other public body within the meaning or for the purposes of Article XIIIB or any statutory provision enacted in implementation of Article XIIIB. The California Court of Appeals, Fourth Appellate District, in Brown v. Community Agency of the City of Santa Ana, 168 Cal. App. 3d 101 (1985), and the California Court of Appeals, Second Appellate District, in Bell Community Redevelopment Agency v. Woolsey, 169 Cal. App. 3d 24 (1985), have determined that the appropriation of tax increment revenues by a redevelopment agency is not subject to the limitations of Article XIIIB The California Supreme Court denied a petition for hearing in the Brown case. No petition for review was filed in the Bell case. On the basis of these decisions, the Commission has not adopted an appropriations limit. Exclusion of Tax Revenues for General Obligation Bonds Debt Service An initiative to amend the California Constitution entitled "Property Tax Revenues Redevelopment Agencies" was approved by California voters at the November 8, 1988 general election. Under prior law, a redevelopment agency using tax increment revenue received additional property tax revenue whenever a local government increased its property tax rate to pay off its general obligation bonds. This initiative amended the California Constitution to allow the California Legislature to prohibit redevelopment agencies from receiving any of the property tax revenues raised by increased property tax rates imposed by local governments to make payments on their bonded indebtedness. The initiative only applies to tax rates levied to finance general obligation bonds approved by the voters on or after January 1, 1989. Any revenue reduction to redevelopment agencies would depend on the number and value of the general obligation bonds approved by voters in prior years, which tax rate will reduce due to increased valuation subject to the tax or the retirement of the indebtedness. The Commission did not experience a revenue loss as a result of the initiative. Low and Moderate -Income Housing Under Section 33334.2 of the Redevelopment Law, redevelopment agencies in California are generally required, unless certain annual findings are made, to set aside at least 20 percent of all tax increment allocation annually (the "Housing Set -Aside Revenues") in a low and moderate income housing fund to be used within the jurisdiction of the Commission to increase and improve the supply of low -and moderate -income housing (the "20% Set Aside Requirement"). A portion of the Housing Set -Aside Revenues in the Project Area are pledged to the repayment of other bonds and the Commission has otherwise complied with applicable law relating to the 20% Set Aside Requirement. Statement of Indebtedness Under the Law, the Commission must file with the Auditor -Controller a statement of indebtedness for the Project Area by October 1 of each year. The statement of indebtedness controls the amount of tax increment revenue that will be paid to the Commission in each Fiscal Year. Redevelopment Plan Time Limits AB 1290. 1n 1993, the California Legislature enacted Assembly Bill 1290 ("AB 1290") which contained several significant changes in the Redevelopment Law_ Among the changes made by AB 1290 was a provision which limits the period of time for incurring and repaying of loans, advances and indebtedness which are 09960.0000015842387.4 50 payable from tax increment revenues. In general, a redevelopment plan may terminate not more than 40 years following the date of original adoption, and loans, advances and indebtedness may be repaid during a period extending not more than 10 years following the date of termination of the redevelopment plan. The Commission's Plan was amended to comply with AB 1290. See "THE PROJECT AREA - Redevelopment Plan Limitations." Senate Bill 211. Senate Bill 211 was signed into law as Chapter 741, Statutes of 2001 ("SB 211"). SB 211 has two main impacts on the limits contained on the City's redevelopment plan. First, a redevelopment agency may pass an ordinance and eliminate the time limit to establish indebtedness in its redevelopment project areas established before January 1, 1994. When a redevelopment plan is so amended, existing tax sharing agreements will continue unaffected and certain statutory tax sharing requirements for governmental entities without tax sharing agreements will begin in the fiscal year following the fiscal year when the time limit is ends. Additionally, SB 211 allows a redevelopment agency to extend the termination date of their redevelopment plans and the deadline for the receipt of tax increment for the repayment of debt by 10 years for the project areas established before January 1, 1994. To extend the termination of the redevelopment plans the Commission must make certain findings of blight in the applicable project areas. In addition, if a redevelopment agency elects to extend the time limits on the incurrence of debt, the termination of the redevelopment plans or the deadline for the receipt of tax increment for repayment of debt, the redevelopment agency must make certain additional statutory pass-throughs to other taxing agencies. On January 6, 2004, the Commission adopted Ordinance No. 2004-237 which eliminated the limit on incurrence of indebtedness for those component project areas (excluding the Harbor District Area) that were formed before January 1, 1994. This amendment did not affect the Harbor District because it has no such limit. Proposition 87 Under prior State law, if a taxing agency increased its tax rate to obtain revenues to repay voter approved general obligation bonds, any redevelopment project area that included property affected by the tax rate increase would realize a proportionate increase in tax increment. Proposition 87, approved by voters of the State on November 9, 1993, requires that all revenues produced by a tax rate increase (approved by the voters on or after January 1, 1989) go directly to the taxing entity that increases the tax rate to repay the general obligation bonded indebtedness. As a result, redevelopment agencies no longer receive an increase in tax increment when taxes on property in the project area are increased to repay voter- approved general obligation debt. See "RISK FACTORS - State Budget and ERAF Shift" herein. Proposition 218 On November 5, 1996, California voters approved Proposition 218-Voter Approval for Local Government Taxes -Limitation on Fees, Assessments, and Charges -Initiative Constitutional Amendment. Proposition 218 added Articles XIIIC and XIIID to the California Constitution, imposing certain vote requirements and other limitations on the imposition of new or increased taxes, assessments and property -related fees and charges. Tax Revenues securing the Bonds are derived from property taxes which are outside the scope of taxes, assessments and property- related fees and charges which were limited by Proposition 218. Future Initiatives and Changes in Law Article XIIIA, Article XIIIB and certain other propositions affecting property tax levies were each adopted as measures which qualified for the ballot pursuant to California's initiative process. From time to time other initiative measures could be adopted, further affecting Commission revenues or the Commission's ability to expend revenues. There can be no assurance that the Legislature will not enact legislation that will amend the Law or other laws or the Constitution of the State resulting in a reduction of revenues, as consequently have an adverse effect on the Commission's ability to pay debt service on the Bonds. 09960.00000\5842387.4 51 LITIGATION There is no litigation pending or, to the Commission's knowledge, threatened in any way to restrain or enjoin the issuance, execution or delivery of the Bonds, to contest the validity of the Bonds, the Indenture or any proceedings of the Commission with respect thereto. The Commission has three ongoing claims which are described below. ARE Holdings, LTC ("ARE") entered into a disposition and development agreement ("DDA") with the Commission and the Parking Authority of the City of National City ("Parking Authority") in July, 2005 to construct a redevelopment project known as "The Cove." The project was to be a residential, high rise condominium project of up to 300 units, and was to occupy an entire city block. When the DDA was entered into, ARE had already acquired some of the properties in the block. The DDA provided that if at some point within a specified time after acquiring these properties ARE decided not to proceed with the project, it could exercise an option to have the properties purchased by the Commission and the Parking Authority. Pursuant to the DDA, the Commission and Parking Authority agreed to acquire by eminent domain any properties that had not already been or could not be acquired by ARE for the project. Eventually, the Commission and the Parking Authority commenced eminent domain actions to acquire two such properties. Pursuant to the DDA, ARE was required to reimburse the Commission and the Parking Authority for all acquisition costs incurred in the eminent domain actions. However, ARE fell seriously behind in its reimbursement obligation, causing the Commission and Parking Authority to send a letter to ARE in December, 2007, placing ARE on notice that its delinquency in making reimbursement constituted a breach of the DDA, and indicated ARE's intention to abandon the project. In January, 2008, ARE made a payment of $200,000 to the Commission and the Parking Authority, disputing its liability for any further reimbursement, and informing the Commission and the Parking Authority that it was terminating the DDA. At this time, ARE also informed the Commission and the Parking Authority that it was exercising its option under the DDA to convey to the Commission and the Parking Authority the properties that it had acquired prior to entering into the DDA, and that in return ARE expected the Commission and the Parking Authority to reimburse it for its acquisition costs. The Commission and Parking Authority determined that ARE was acting too late in attempting to exercise its option, and denied any obligation to purchase the ARE properties. Based on ARE's announced intent to terminate the DDA, the Commission and the Parking Authority were also compelled to abandon the eminent domain actions, at significant cost to those entities. On or about February 1, 2010, ARE filed a claim against the Commission and the Parking Authority, claiming damages of approximately $2.6 Million. In its claim, ARE alleged the Commission and the Parking Authority had an obligation to purchase the properties ARE had acquired for the project, and that the Commission and Parking Authority's refusal to purchase those properties constituted a breach of contract. The Commission and the Parking Authority determined that the claim was without merit, and denied the claim by letter dated April 19, 2010. On or about October 15, 2010, ARE filed a complaint in San Diego Superior Court, alleging causes of action for breach of contract, breach of covenant of good faith and fair dealing, false promise, specific performance, and unjust enrichment. In their complaint, ARE is seeking $5.3 million in damages. The City Attorney's office moved the court to strike the cause of action for false promise, which motion was granted. The has filed an answer to the complaint, denying the allegations raised therein, setting forth 31 affirmative defenses, and seeking attorney's fees and costs. Concurrently with the filing of the answer, the City will be filing a cross - complaint on behalf of the Commission and the Parking Authority, seeking damages of approximately $144,000 for breach of contract, a determination from the court that ARE was in default of its obligations under the DDA, and attomey's fees and costs. Although an unfavorable outcome is highly unlikely, the Commission cannot predict or guarantee the outcome the resolution among the parties. The potential exposure to the District in this matter is estimated to be between $$2 million and $2.5 milion. 09960.00000'6842387 4 52 On July 17, 2007, the City adopted a Redevelopment Plan Amendment. The purpose of this amendment was to extend the eminent domain authority for twelve years. Petitioner Community Youth Athletic Center owns a property within the plan area that is also within the area for which the use of eminent domain may be exercised. Petitioner filed its action on September 25, 2007. Petitioner challenges the adoption of the Redevelopment Plan Amendment blight findings, alleges it was denied an opportunity to be heard (due process), and alleges violations of the public records act. Petitioner seeks to set aside the approval of the Plan Amendment. If that were to occur, then the earlier Plan Amendments would still apply. The 2007 Plan Amendment purpose was to extend the eminent domain authority time frame, thus, if the plan was invalidated, then eminent domain authority for redevelopment would not be currently available. That would not affect any pending projects. Respondents City and the Commission contend the adoption was supported by evidence in the record, provided petitioner ample opportunity to be heard as evidenced by petitioner's six binders of objections, and provided all documents requested by petitioners. A subsequent demurrer was granted, appealed, and subsequently returned to the trial court. Extensive discovery has occurred. The matter is now set for trial on March 4, 2011. The City and the Commission believe they acted in accordance with all statutory requirements in adopting the Redevelopment Plan Amendment and in responding to the public records act request. Although an unfavorable outcome is unlikely, the District cannot predict or guarantee the outcome the resolution among the parties. The plaintiff in this matter is not seeking any damages; however, if petitioner prevails, the 2007 Plan Amendment to extend eminent domain authority time frames will be void. The plan amendments approved prior to the 2007 amendment would remain valid. Except as otherwise described herein, in the opinion of the Commission and its counsel, there are no lawsuits or claims pending against the Commission which will materially affect the Commission's finances so as to impair the ability to pay principal of and interest on the Bonds when due. RATINGS Standard & Poor's Ratings Service, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. ("S&P"), has assigned its municipal bond rating of " " to the Bonds. The ratings issued reflect only the view of such rating agency, and any explanation of the significance of such ratings should be obtained from such rating agency. There is no assurance that such ratings will be retained for any given period of time or that they will not be revised downward or withdrawn entirely by such rating agency if, in the judgment of such rating agency, circumstances so warrant. Any such downward revision or withdrawal of any rating obtained may have an adverse effect on the market price of the Bonds. Bonds TAX MATTERS Certain United States Federal and California State Income Tax Consequences In the opinion of Jones Ilall, A Professional Law Corporation, San Francisco, California, Bond Counsel, subject, however, to the qualifications set forth below, under existing law, the interest on the Bonds is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes and such interest is not an item of tax preference for purposes of the federal alternative minimum tax imposed on individuals and corporations, provided, however, that, for the purpose of computing the alternative minimum tax imposed on corporations (as defined for federal income tax purposes). such interest is taken into account in determining certain income and earnings. 09960.00000\5842387.4 53 The opinions described in the preceding paragraph are subject to the condition that the Agency comply with all requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 that must be satisfied subsequent to the issuance of the Bonds in order that such interest be, or continue to be, excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes. The Agency has covenanted to comply with each such requirement. Failure to comply with certain of such requirements may cause the inclusion of such interest in gross income for federal income tax purposes to be retroactive to the date of issuance of the Bonds. In the further opinion of Bond Counsel, interest on the Bonds is exempt from California personal income taxes. Owners of the Bonds should also be aware that the ownership or disposition of, or the accrual or receipt of interest on, the Bonds may have federal or state tax consequences other than as described above. Bond Counsel expresses no opinion regarding any federal or state tax consequences arising with respect to the Bonds other than as expressly described above. CERTAIN LEGAL MATTERS The legal opinion of Bond Counsel, approving the validity of the Bonds, in substantially the form attached hereto as "APPENDIX E — Form of Bond Counsel Opinion," will be made available to purchasers at the time of original delivery of the Bonds, and a copy thereof will be printed on each Bond.
