Certain Principal Amounts indicated as being eligible for Optional Redemption on the

order to elect an Optional Redemption of a redeemable Principal Amount, the Borrower shall
give notice of its intention to redeem a Principal Amount to the Trustee and the Secretary not less
than 60 days nor more than 90 days prior to the Interest Due Date as of which the Borrower
intends to redeem the Principal Amount. The Trustee shall apply any payments received in
respect of Optional Redemptions in accordance with written instructions of the Borrower, as
approved by the Secretary. Principal Amounts that are not indicated as being eligible for

"Business Day" shall mean a day on which banking institutions in New York, New York,
are not required or authorized to remain closed and on which the Federal Reserve Bank and the

Interest Due Date or Principal Due Date, interest shall accrue on the amount of such payment at
the applicable interest rate or rates payable on this Note, from the relevant due date until the date
such payment is made. Nothing in the immediately preceding sentence shall be construed as
permitting or implying that the Borrower may, without the written consent of the Holder and the
Secretary, modify, extend, alter or affect in any manner whatsoever the right of the Holder timely
to receive any and all payments of principal and interest specified in this Note.

Fixed Rate Note 2003-A 5-29-03
F. Applicability of Fiscal Agency Agreement and Trust Agreement
This Note and payments made hereunder shall be administered pursuant to the terms of
the Trust Agreement and are subject to such agreement. The terms and provisions of the Trust
Agreement, insofar as they affect the rights, duties and obligations of the Holder and/or the
Borrower, are hereby incorporated herein and form a part of this Note. Capitalized terms not
defined in this Note shall have the meanings ascribed to them in Trust Agreement. The
Amended and Restated Master Fiscal Agency Agreement dated as of May 17, 2000, between the
Secretary and The Chase Manhattan Bank (now known as JPMorgan Chase Bank), as Fiscal
Agent (the "Fiscal Agency Agreement") provides for JPMorgan Chase Bank, acting as Fiscal
Agent to perform certain duties, including the duties of registrar for this Note until this Note is
canceled or a new registrar appointed in accordance with the Fiscal Agency Agreement. The
Trust Agreement provides for the Trustee to perform certain duties, including the duties of
paying agent and collection agent for this Note until a new Trustee is appointed in accordance
with the Trust Agreement. This Note may be surrendered to the Fiscal Agent for registration of
transfer or exchange, as provided in the Fiscal Agency Agreement. The Fiscal Agent and the
Trustee shall permit reasonable inspection to be made of a copy of the Fiscal Agency Agreement
or Trust Agreement kept on file at its corporate trust office. Neither the Fiscal Agency
Agreement nor the Trust Agreement shall change the Borrower's payment obligations under this
Note.
G. Applicability of Contract and Secretary's Guarantee
This Note evidences indebtedness incurred pursuant to and in accordance with the
Contract and pursuant to Section 108 of Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act
of 1974, as amended (42 U.S.C. § 5308) (the "HCD Act"). This Note is subject to the terms and
provisions of the Contract, to which Contract reference is hereby made for a statement of said
terms and provisions and for a description of the collateral security for this Note. The payment
of principal on the applicable Principal Due Dates and of interest on the applicable Interest Due
Dates under this Note is unconditionally guaranteed by the Secretary to the Holder through a
guarantee (the "Guarantee"). Execution of the Secretary's Guarantee is required before this Note
is effective, and such Guarantee shall be issued pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of
the Contract and Section 108 of the HCD Act.
H. Default
A default under this Note shall occur upon failure by the Borrower to pay principal or interest on
this Note when due to the Trustee hereunder. On any Interest Due Date on or after the first
permissible Optional Redemption Date, if either (i) a Borrower defaults on the payment of any
interest or Principal Amount when due or (ii) the Secretary gives notice of a final decision to
declare the Borrower in default pursuant to the following paragraph, then the Secretary may, but
is not obligated to, make an acceleration payment to the Trustee equal to the Aggregate Principal
Amount of the Note, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon to such Interest Due Date.
The Secretary shall give notice of such payment on the fourteenth Business Day preceding such
Interest Due Date and shall make such payment on the seventh Business Day preceding such
3
Fixed Rate Note 2003-A 5-29-03
Interest Due Date. In the event that any such acceleration payment is made from sources other
than funds pledged by the Borrower as security under the Contract (or other Borrower funds), the
amounts paid on behalf of the Borrower shall be deemed to be immediately due and payable to
the Secretary. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed as permitting or implying that the
Borrower may, without the written consent of the Holder and the Secretary, modify, extend, alter
or affect in any manner whatsoever the right of the Holder timely to receive any and all payments
of principal and interest specified in this Note.
In addition, the Secretary may declare the Borrower in default under this Note if the
Secretary makes a final decision in accordance with the provisions of 24 CFR § 570.913 (or any
successor regulation thereof), including requirements for reasonable notice and opportunity for
hearing, that the Borrower has failed to comply substantially with Title I of the HCD Act.
Following the giving of such reasonable notice, the Secretary may take the remedial actions
specified as available in the relevant provisions of the Contract pending the Secretary's final
decision.
I. Holder's Reliance on Guarantee
Following a default by the Borrower under the terms of this Note, the Holder agrees to
rely wholly and exclusively for repayment of this Note upon the Guarantee. The enforcement of
any instruments or agreements securing or otherwise related to this Note shall be the sole
responsibility of the Secretary, and the Holder shall not be responsible for the preparation,
contents or administration of such instruments and agreements, or for any actions taken in
connection with such instruments and agreement. The Holder, to the extent it is legally able to do
so, shall bind or cause to be bound its successors and assigns to all limitations imposed upon the
Holder by this Note.
J. Amendment
This Note may only be amended with the prior written consent of the Secretary and the
Borrower. No such amendment shall reduce, without the prior written consent of the Holder of
this Note, in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments required to be received
on this Note by the Holder or Trustee, including Guarantee Payments.
K. Waivers
The Borrower hereby waives any requirement for presentment, protest or other demand or
notice with respect to this Note. The Borrower hereby waives notice of default and opportunity
for hearing for any failure to make a payment when due.
L. Delivery and Effective Date
This Note is deemed issued, executed, and delivered on behalf of the Borrower by its
authorized official as an obligation guaranteed by the Secretary pursuant to Section 108 of the
HCD Act, effective as of the date of the Secretary's Guarantee.

SECTION 108-GUARANTEED LOANS: MODEL LEGAL OPINION
FOR SERIES 2003-A PUBLIC OFFERING [August 2003]
[This model for use only by counsel to CDBG grantees NOT using a
designated public agency to issue the guaranteed Note, and which
are not participating in a CDBG States' Program for
nonentitlement areas]
[Please review instructions following opinion]
Honorable Mel Martinez
Secretary of Housing and Urban Development
451 7th Street, SW
Washington, DC 20410
Dear Secretary Martinez:
The undersigned, being duly licensed and in good standing to
practice law in the State [Commonwealth] of
is legal counsel to the [City, County, etc.] of
("Borrower"). As such, I [we] have represented
the Borrower regarding that certain promissory note, referred to
as Note No. (See , in the Aggregate Principal
Amount of $ instruction 5 below) ("Note"), to
be executed by the Borrower payable to the order of the
Registered Holder thereof, and to be guaranteed by the Secretary
of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") under section 108 of the
Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, 42
U.S.C. 5308 ("Section 108"). The Note will be included in a
trust created by HUD (together with other Section 108 Notes
issued by other borrowers), and trust certificates based on the
trust will be sold in the Series 2003-A public offering by
underwriters selected by HUD. HUD's guarantee of the Note will
be governed by the Contract for Loan Guarantee Assistance under
Section 108 between the Borrower and HUD (the "Contract"), in
which the Borrower pledges Community Development Block Grants
pursuant to 24 CFR 570.705(b)(2), as well as any other security
specified in the Contract, as security for HUD's guarantee.
In my [our] capacity as legal counsel, I [we] have made an
examination and investigation of all such matters of fact and
questions of law as I [we] consider necessary or advisable to
enable me [us] to render the opinion hereafter set forth.
Specifically, and without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, I [we] have examined:
1. [Cite applicable provisions of the Constitution and/or
Statutes of the State [Commonwealth]] [optional]
2. [Cite applicable provisions of Charter and Ordinances
of the Borrower] [optional]
3. A Resolution of the governing body of Borrower dated
authorizing Borrower to enter into
this transaction, and authorizing (Insert name or title
of official authorized to execute Note and Contractl
to execute on behalf of Borrower all documents
necessary or desirable to accomplish the transaction.
4. The Contract
5. The Note
6. The Trust Agreement, the Amended and Restated Master
Fiscal Agency Agreement, and the form of Supplement to
the Trust Agreement to be executed by the Secretary of
HUD for the closing of the public offering.
Based on the foregoing investigation and authorities, I am
[we are] of the opinion that:
1. Borrower has authorized in accordance with [the cited]
[applicable] State and local law, the transaction, including
issuance of the Note, the pledge of grant funds, and the
execution of all documents necessary or desirable to accomplish
the transaction.
2. Borrower has authorized (Insert name of authorized
official who executed Note and Contractl , in [his, her]
capacity as (Insert tit/el , to execute the Contract, the
Note and all other documents necessary or desirable to accomplish
the transaction.
3. The Note and the Contract have been duly executed by the
aforementioned authorized representative of the Borrower, and
upon delivery thereof, due execution of the Contract and
Guarantee on behalf of HUD, and receipt of the loan proceeds on
behalf of the Borrower, the Note and Contract shall be valid,
binding and enforceable obligations of the Borrower.
4. The pledge of present and future Community Development
Block Grants by the Borrower pursuant to 24 CFR 570.705(b)(2) and
the Contract is valid.
5. There is no outstanding, or to my (our) knowledge
threatened, action, suit, proceeding, investigation or litigation
by or against the Borrower that will affect the validity of the
Note or the security therefor.
Sincerely,
[The WORD file for this opinion and instructions is available by email
from HUD. Please contact your HUD program office contact for the
section 108 project in question, or one of the attorneys listed at the
end of the following instructions.]
2
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Opinions must be signed by an attorney licensed to practice
and in good standing in the applicable State or Commonwealth.
The attorney shall issue the opinion on behalf of a private firm
or local government legal officer or office that represented the
CDBG grantee/section 108 Borrower in the transaction, and it must
be on the firm or office's letterhead. If issued by a firm, the
opinion must be signed on behalf of the firm by a partner or with
the firm name as authorized by the firm. If issued by a
government legal officer or office, the opinion must be signed by
the officer, the head of the legal office, or by a senior lawyer
with authority to bind the office. The appropriate plural
[bracketed] pronouns in the attached model should be used for
opinions signed on behalf of multi -lawyer firms or offices.
2. The language marked "optional" in paragraphs 1 and 2 at the
bottom of page one. of the attached model, including citations, is
recommended to evidence thoroughness and to enhance the
credibility of the opinion, but it can be omitted in the judgment
of the attorney rendering the opinion. However, citing the
applicable authorizing resolution of the local governing body is
required. Of course, should facts or legal authorities come to
HUD's attention that call an opinion into question, HUD reserves
the right to reject, or require such revision to, any opinion, as
HUD in its sole discretion may determine.
3. The local counsel's opinions are based upon the requirements
of paragraph 4(b) of the Contract and are in support of a HUD
opinion given at closing for the public offering, as required by
the Underwriting Agreement between HUD and the underwriters. The
use of the model opinion without substantial change is strongly
encouraged to permit HUD staff to accept and rely on the opinion
on its face, without time-consuming call-backs, investigation,
and revision. Conditions and qualifying language in legal
opinions require specific review by HUD professional legal staff,
may tend to slow processing of the loan guarantee documentation,
and are generally discouraged, unless they are essential in a
particular case.
However, qualifications which exclude the validity of, or
the authority for, execution of the documents on behalf of the
Borrower from the coverage of the opinion, assume the validity of
such execution, or exempt the signatory attorney from knowledge
of the validity of the execution, are not acceptable. HUD deals
nationally with many cities, counties, and other public bodies,
and cannot independently verify the execution authority of
officials of those entities. Borrowers counsels' opinions
covering proper execution serve as an important check on such
validity.
While not a cause for rejection of an opinion per se, it is
not necessary to qualify an opinion by stating that
3
enforceability of the documents may be limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation, or similar
general laws or equity principles relating to or affecting
creditors' rights or providing remedies for the relief of
debtors, or that the availability of specific performance or
injunctive relief in aid of enforcement of the documents may be
limited by equitable rights and defenses. HUD is aware that
there may be exceptions to the enforceability of its rights as a
creditor based on generally applicable laws and equitable
principles; that is why HUD regards the pledge of present and
future CDBG grants, which are controlled by HUD, as the principal
security for repayment of the notes. The purpose of the legal
opinions is not to get an attorney to act as insurer of the
absolute enforceability of the documents but rather to require
that there has been legal review adequate to assure proper
authorization and execution of the Note and related documents by
the proper parties under State and local law.
4. Separate models are available from HUD for transactions in
which a CDBG grantee is using a designated public agency to issue
the Note and receive the proceeds thereof on its behalf.
Similarly, separate models are available for nonentitlement
grantees and their States, where a State -administered CDBG
nonentitlement recipient is issuing the section 108-guaranteed
Note. If you are involved in one of the foregoing transactions,
please obtain the appropriate model from the program office (see
paragraph 7 below).
An additional opinion to The Chase Manhattan Bank, or its
successor JPMorgan Chase Bank, as Trustee or Fiscal Agent, is not
required in connection with this public offering. The Borrower
is not required to execute the Trust Agreement or the Amended and
Restated Master Fiscal Agency Agreement; those documents are
incorporated by reference in the Contract and the Note, and the
Borrower agrees to the terms of those documents by executing the
Contract and the Note. Copies of the Amended and Restated Master
Fiscal Agency Agreement, Trust Agreement, and the form of
Supplement to the Trust Agreement to be executed on behalf of the
Secretary at closing on the Public Offering Date, should have
been included in the package of documents transmitted to the
Borrower by HUD. If they were not, and if you have not
previously reviewed them, please contact the CPD Financial
Management Division phone number at the end of these instructions
for copies, if necessary. The Trust Agreement and the Amended
and Restated Master Fiscal Agency Agreement have not changed
since the last public offering, and no significant change is
anticipated in the Supplement to the Trust Agreement except for
dates and the schedules of the obligations covered by the
Supplement.
5. The attorney should assure that the legal name of the
Borrower in the Note and the Contract is correct and should
notify HUD if it is not. The note number to be inserted in the
opinion in the first paragraph appears in the heading of the
4
Note. The Aggregate Principal Amount to be inserted also appears
in the heading of the Note and at the end of the attached
Schedule P&I (these should agree).
[Background - Unlike Section 108 interim (variable -rate)
financing, the entire Aggregate Principal Amount of the Note will
be disbursed at closing on the Public Offering Date, as
applicable: (i) to pay off interim financing (or a public
offering note being refinanced, if applicable), (ii) for deposit
in the Borrower's Guaranteed Loan Funds Account under paragraph 1
of the Contract, or (iii)(by deduction) to pay the fees referred
to in paragraph 4 of the Contract if so requested by the
Borrower. Also unlike such interim financing, Principal Amounts
due on particular Principal Due Dates on Schedule P&I cannot be
amended (even with HUD approval) after closing of the public
offering. Borrower's counsel should assure that the Borrower's
financial officials are satisfied that Schedule P&I accurately
states the repayment schedule agreed by the Borrower and HUD.]
"Other Security" Opinions
6. If so provided in the Contract, an additional opinion or
opinions may be requested of Borrower's counsel or other counsel
with regard to "other security" as negotiated between HUD and the
Borrower for a particular transaction. If such opinions have
previously been furnished in connection with interim financing,
the same opinions do not have to be submitted again. Generally,
any additional opinions related to other security will be
described in paragraphs 5(c) or 15 of the Contract. The Contract
may not require such other security opinions to be delivered to
HUD with the executed Note and Contract, but they may be required
at a later time, and the Contract may provide that they be
delivered to a local custodian, rather than HUD. If so, it is
recommended that such opinions be separate from the attached
model opinion required with respect to execution and validity of
the Note and Contract. However, if the Contract requires the
"other security" opinion(s) to be submitted to HUD at the same
time as the model opinion, they may be combined with the model
opinion. Due to the variety of "other security" provisions,
model language for the "other security" opinions cannot be
furnished routinely.
7. If there are any questions, including specific questions
about "other security" opinions, the local CDBG program office or
counsel may contact its representative in HUD's Office of
Community Planning and Development, Financial Management
Division, at 202-708-1871. Local counsel may also directly call
or email John Wingard or Evelyn Wrin in HUD's Office of General
Counsel at 202-708-2027, extension 5278 or 5220 respectively
(john_wingard@hud.gov or evelyn m._wrin@hud.gov), with questions.

Receipt, Deposit and Use of Guaranteed Loan Funds.
(a) Except for fees and charges deducted on the Public
Offering Date pursuant to paragraph 4(a) by the Fiscal
Agent/Trustee, or funds used to pay off any interim note
refinanced by the Note, the Guaranteed Loan Funds shall be
electronically transferred in accordance with the Borrower's
instructions for deposit in a separate, identifiable
custodial account (the "Guaranteed Loan Funds Account") with
a financial institution whose deposits or accounts are
Federally insured. The Guaranteed Loan Funds Account shall be
established and designated as prescribed in the attached form
document entitled "Letter Agreement for Section 108 Loan
Guarantee Program Custodial Account" (Attachment 1) and shall

Guaranteed Loan Funds Account exceeding such insurance
coverage shall be fully (100%) and continuously invested in
Government Obligations, as defined in paragraph 10 hereof,
held in the Guaranteed Loan Funds Investment Account.
All temporary investments, whether or not required as above,
shall be limited to Government Obligations having maturities
that are consistent with the cash requirements of the
approved activities. In no event shall the investments mature
on or after November 30, 2004, or have maturities which
exceed one year. All such investments shall be held in trust

institution in an account (the "Guaranteed Loan Funds
Investment Account") established and designated as prescribed
in the attached form document entitled "Letter Agreement for
Section 108 Loan Guarantee Program Custodial Investment
Account" (Attachment 2), which account shall be maintained

Borrower is required to invest, or otherwise invests, the
Guaranteed Loan Funds in Government Obligations. Such Letter
Agreement must be executed when the Guaranteed Loan Funds

investment of funds pursuant to this paragraph, until final

Note, unless otherwise expressly authorized by the Secretary
in writing. Such temporary investment of funds shall be
required within three Business Days after the balance of
deposited funds exceeds the amount of the Federal deposit
insurance on the Loan Repayment Account. At that time, any
balance of funds in the Loan Repayment Account exceeding such
insurance coverage shall be fully (100%) and continuously
invested in Government Obligations, as defined in paragraph
10 hereof.
All temporary investments, whether or not required as above,
shall be limited to Government Obligations having maturities

event shall the maturities of such investments exceed one
year. All such investments shall be held in trust for the
benefit of the Secretary by the above financial institution
in an account (the "Loan Repayment Investment Account")
established and designated as prescribed in the attached form
document entitled "Letter Agreement for Section 108 Loan
Guarantee Program Custodial Investment Account" (Attachment

(c) Upon the Secretary giving notice that the Borrower is in
Contract for Fixed Rate Note, Entitlement, 5-29-03 8
Default under this Contract or the Note, all right, title,
and interest of the Borrower in and to the Loan Repayment and
Loan Repayment Investment Accounts shall immediately vest in
the Secretary for use in making payment on the Note, purchase
of Government Obligations in accordance with paragraph 10, or
payment of any other obligation of the Borrower under this
Contract or the Fiscal Agency/Trust Agreements, in each case
as elected by the Secretary in his sole discretion.
7. Use of CDBG or EDI Funds for Repayment. Any funds available to
the Borrower under Section 106 of the Act (including program .
income derived therefrom) are authorized to be used by the
Borrower for payments due on the Note, Optional Redemption (as
defined in the Note), payment of any other obligation of the
Borrower under this Contract or the Fiscal Agency/Trust
Agreements, or the purchase of Government Obligations in
accordance with paragraph 10. Any funds specifically available
to the Borrower for such payments or as a debt service reserve
under an EDI Grant Agreement pursuant to Section 108(q) of the
Act which supports the eligible project(s) and activities
financed by the Note may also be used therefor; any other use of
Section 108(q) funds for such purposes shall require the prior
written approval of the Secretary. Unless otherwise specifically
provided herein or unless otherwise expressly authorized by the
Secretary in writing, the Borrower shall substantially disburse
funds available in the Loan Repayment or the Loan Repayment
Investment Accounts before funds from grants under Section 106
of the Act are withdrawn from the U.S. Treasury for such
purposes.
8. Secretary's Right to Restrict Use of CDBG Funds to Repayment.
Upon a determination by the Secretary that payments required by
paragraph 2 and/or paragraph 4 of this Contract are unlikely to
be made as specified, the Secretary may give the Borrower notice
that the availability to the Borrower of funds pledged under
paragraph 5(a) of this Contract for purposes other than
satisfaction of the pledge is being restricted. This restriction
shall be in an amount estimated by the Secretary to be
sufficient to ensure that the payments referred to in paragraph
2 and/or paragraph 4 hereof are made when due. This restriction
may be given effect by conditioning the restricted amounts to
prohibit disbursement for purposes other than satisfaction of
the pledge at the time such restricted funds are approved as
grants, by limiting the Borrower's ability to draw down or
expend the restricted funds for other purposes, and by
disapproving payment requests submitted with respect to such
grants for purposes other than satisfaction of the pledge.
9. Secretary's Right to Use Pledged Funds for Repayment. The
Secretary may use funds pledged under paragraph 5(a) of this
Contract or funds restricted under grants pursuant to paragraph
8 of this Contract to make any payment required of the Borrower
under paragraph 2 and/or paragraph 4, if such payment has not
Contract for Fixed Rate Note, Entitlement, 5-29-03 9
been timely made by the Borrower.
10 Defeasance. For purposes of this Contract, the Note shall be
deemed to have been paid (defeased) if there shall have been
deposited with the Trustee either moneys or Government
Obligations (defined below), which in the sole determination of
the Secretary, mature and bear interest at times and in amounts
sufficient, together with any other moneys on deposit with the
Trustee for such purpose, to pay when due the principal and
interest to become due on the Note. The Aggregate Principal
Amount of the Note or any unpaid Principal Amount may be so
defeased, in whole or in part, as of any Interest Due Date, or
-any other Business Day acceptable to both HUD and the Borrower.
In accordance with the Note and the Trust Agreement, the
Borrower shall give timely notice and written instructions to
the Secretary and the Trustee concerning any principal amounts
proposed to be defeased, including any Optional Redemptions
proposed, which instructions shall be approved by the Secretary.
If the unpaid Aggregate Principal Amount of the Note guaranteed
pursuant to this Contract shall be defeased and deemed to have
been paid in full, then the Borrower shall be released from all
agreements, covenants, and further obligations under the Note.
"Government Obligation" means a direct obligation of, or any
obligation for which the full and timely payment of principal
and interest is guaranteed by, the United States of America,
including but not limited to, United States Treasury

Contract for Fixed Rate Note, Entitlement, 5-29-03 10
(c) In addition to Defaults under paragraph 11(a), the
Secretary may declare the Note in Default if the Secretary
makes a final decision in accordance with the provisions of
section 111 of the Act and 24 CFR 570.913 (or any successor
provisions), including requirements for reasonable notice and
opportunity for hearing, that the Borrower has failed to
comply substantially with title I of the Act. Notwithstanding
any other provision, following the giving of such reasonable
notice, the Secretary may, in the Secretary's sole discretion
pending the Secretary's final decision, withhold the
guarantee of any or all obligations not yet guaranteed on

Guaranteed Loan Funds Account or the Loan Repayment Account
initiated by the Borrower, and/or refuse to release

(c) The Secretary may direct the Borrower's financial

withdrawals from, the Guaranteed Loan Funds Account or the Loan
Repayment Account by the Borrower, and/or refuse to release
obligations and assignments by the Borrower from the Guaranteed
Loan Funds Investment Account or the Loan Repayment Investment

financial institution to transfer remaining balances from the
Guaranteed Loan Funds Account to the Loan Repayment Account.

CONTRACT FOR LOAN GUARANTEE ASSISTANCE UNDER
SECTION 108 OF THE HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ACT
OF 1974, AS AMENDED, 42 U.S.C. §5308
For Series HUD 2003-A Certificates
This Contract for Loan Guarantee Assistance ("Contract") is
entered into by the City of National City, CA, as Borrower (the
"Borrower"), and the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development
("Secretary"), as guarantor for the Guarantee made pursuant to
section 108 ("Section 108") of title I of the Housing and
Community Development Act of 1974, as amended (the "Act") and 24
CFR Part 570, Subpart M, of the promissory note executed
contemporaneously herewith and numbered B-00-MC-06-0560, in the
Aggregate Principal Amount of $6,900,000, and any amended note or
note issued in substitution for such note and having the same
note number (the "Note"). This is the first Contract under the
Funding Approval ("Commitment") of the same number, which was
approved by the Secretary on May 7, 2001. Such Aggregate
Principal Amount will be paid or credited to the account of the
Borrower pursuant hereto (including any funds used to pay off
prior interim notes refinanced by the Note), and all such amounts
are collectively referred to herein as the "Guaranteed Loan
Funds." The Note (including the Fiscal Agency Agreement and the
Trust Agreement as defined in the Note and incorporated therein)
is hereby incorporated into the Contract. Terms used in the
Contract with initial capital letters and not otherwise defined
in the text hereof shall have the respective meanings given

Trustee are sometimes collectively referred to as the "Fiscal

PART I
A. The Note. The Note is payable to the Trustee as Registered

full Aggregate Principal Amounts thereof by underwriters
selected by the Secretary (the "Underwriters") pursuant to
an Underwriting Agreement between the Underwriters and the
Secretary, at a closing on such Public Offering Date as
determined by the Secretary and the Underwriters. The
Borrower agrees that the interest rate at which the trust
certificate of a specified maturity is sold to the
Underwriters shall be the interest rate inserted on the
Contract for Fixed Rate Note, Entitlement, 5-29-03 2
Public Offering Date in Schedule P&I of the Note for the
Principal Amount of corresponding maturity. The Note shall
be effective as an obligation of the Borrower only upon its
delivery by the Secretary to the Fiscal Agent/Trustee and
sale to the Underwriters at the closing on the Public
Offering Date. The Borrower authorizes the Secretary to
deliver the Note, together with the Secretary's Guarantee
thereof, to the Fiscal Agent/Trustee as of such closing on
the Public Offering Date, in accordance with the Fiscal
Agency/Trust Agreements. After the Public Offering Date, the
Borrower agrees that the Trustee pursuant to the Trust
Agreement will maintain the books and records of all
payments on the Note and all Principal Amounts and interest
rates on such Principal Amounts.
B. Consents. By execution of this Contract, the Borrower
ratifies and consents to the Secretary's selection of the
Underwriters and authorizes the Secretary to negotiate with
the Underwriters the terms of the Underwriting Agreement and
of the public offering of interests in the trust certificates
to investors (including the applicable interest rates). In
addition, by execution hereof the Borrower ratifies and
consents to the Secretary's selection of the Fiscal
Agent/Trustee and agrees to the respective terms of the

PART II

Offering Date pursuant to paragraph 4(a) by the Fiscal
Agent/Trustee, or funds used to pay off any interim note
refinanced by the Note, the Guaranteed Loan Funds shall be
electronically transferred in accordance with the Borrower's
instructions for deposit in a separate, identifiable
custodial account (the "Guaranteed Loan Funds Account") with
a financial institution whose deposits or accounts are
Federally insured. The Guaranteed Loan Funds Account shall be
established and designated as prescribed in the attached form
document entitled "Letter Agreement for Section 108 Loan
Guarantee Program Custodial Account" (Attachment 1) and shall
be continuously maintained for the Guaranteed Loan Funds.
Such Letter Agreement must be executed when the Guaranteed
Loan Funds Account is established. (A fully executed copy of
such Letter Agreement shall be submitted to the Secretary
within thirty days of its execution.)
The Borrower shall make withdrawals from said account only
for payment of the costs of Section 108 activities approved
by HUD, for transfer to the Loan Repayment Account or for the
temporary investment of funds pursuant to this paragraph
1(a). Such temporary investment of funds into the Guaranteed
Loan Funds Investment Account shall be required within three
Business Days after the balance of deposited funds exceeds
the amount of the Federal deposit insurance on the Guaranteed
Loan Funds Account. At that time, any balance of funds in the
Guaranteed Loan Funds Account exceeding such insurance
coverage shall be fully (100%) and continuously invested in
Government Obligations, as defined in paragraph 10 hereof,
held in the Guaranteed Loan Funds Investment Account.
All temporary investments, whether or not required as above,
shall be limited to Government Obligations having maturities
that are consistent with the cash requirements of the
approved activities. In no event shall the investments mature
on or after November 30, 2004, or have maturities which
exceed one year.. All such investments shall be held in trust
for the benefit of the Secretary by the above financial
institution in an account (the "Guaranteed Loan Funds
Investment Account") established and designated as prescribed
in the attached form document entitled "Letter Agreement for
Section 108 Loan Guarantee Program Custodial Investment
Account" (Attachment 2), which account shall be maintained
for all Government Obligations purchased with funds from the
Guaranteed Loan Funds Account. The Guaranteed Loan Funds
Investment Account need only be established if and when the
Contract for Fixed Rate Note, Entitlement, 5-29-03
Borrower is required to invest, or otherwise invests, the
Guaranteed Loan Funds in Government Obligations. Such Letter
Agreement must be executed when the Guaranteed Loan Funds
Investment Account is established. (A fully executed copy of
such Letter Agreement shall be submitted to the Secretary
within thirty days of its execution.) All proceeds and income
derived from such investments shall be returned to the
Guaranteed Loan Funds Account.
All funds in the Guaranteed Loan Funds Account or the
Guaranteed Loan Funds Investment Account must be withdrawn
and disbursed by the Borrower for approved activities by
November 30, 2004. Any funds remaining in either Account
after this date shall be immediately transferred to the Loan
Repayment Account established pursuant to paragraph 6 of this
Contract.
(b) The Borrower shall by the fifteenth day of each month
provide the Secretary with a written statement showing the
balance of funds in the Guaranteed Loan Funds Account and the
withdrawals from such account during the preceding calendar
month, and a statement identifying the obligations and their
assignments in the Guaranteed Loan Funds Investment Account,
until such Accounts are fully disbursed.
(c) Upon the Secretary giving notice that the Borrower is in
Default under this Contract or the Note, all right, title,
and interest of the Borrower in and to the Guaranteed Loan
Funds and Guaranteed Loan Funds Investment Accounts shall

Interest Due Date or Principal Due Date (each as defined in
the Note). If any Note Payment Date falls on a day that is
not a Business Day, then the required payment shall be made
on the next Business Day. Payment may be made by check or
wire transfer.
Upon final payment of all amounts due to Holders under the
Note, including any payment made by the Secretary pursuant to
the Guarantee, the Fiscal Agent/Trustee is required by the
Fiscal Agency/Trust Agreements to return the Note to the
Secretary. Upon final payment to the Secretary of any amounts

due as a result of Guarantee Payments or otherwise due under
this Contract, the Secretary will cancel and return the Note
to the Borrower in discharge of the Borrower's obligations
under the Note.

shall select a new Fiscal Agent or Trustee if the Fiscal
Agent or Trustee resigns or is removed by the Secretary. The

invested in Government Obligations, as defined in paragraph

All temporary investments, whether or not required as above,
shall be limited to Government Obligations having maturities
that are consistent with cash requirements for payment of
principal and interest as required under the Note. In no
event shall the maturities of such investments exceed one
year. All such investments shall be held in trust for the
benefit of the Secretary by the above financial institution
in an account (the "Loan Repayment Investment Account")

Contract for Fixed Rate Note, Entitlement, 5-29-03 8
Default under this Contract or the Note, all right, title,
and interest of the Borrower in and to the Loan Repayment and
Loan Repayment Investment Accounts shall immediately vest in
the Secretary for use in making payment on the Note, purchase
of Government Obligations in accordance with paragraph 10, or
payment of any other obligation of the Borrower under this
Contract or the Fiscal Agency/Trust Agreements, in each case
as elected by the Secretary in his sole discretion.
7. Use of CDBG or EDI Funds for Repayment. Any funds available to
the Borrower under Section 106 of the Act (including program
income derived therefrom) are authorized to be used by the
Borrower for payments due on the Note, Optional Redemption (as
defined in the Note), payment of any other obligation of the
Borrower under this Contract or the Fiscal Agency/Trust
Agreements, or the purchase of Government Obligations in
accordance with paragraph 10. Any funds specifically available
to the Borrower for such payments or as a debt service reserve
under an EDI Grant Agreement pursuant to Section 108(q) of the
Act which supports the eligible project(s) and activities
financed by the Note may also be used therefor; any other use of
Section 108(q) funds for such purposes shall require the prior
written approval of the Secretary. Unless otherwise specifically
provided herein or unless•otherwise expressly authorized by the
Secretary in writing, the Borrower shall substantially disburse
funds available in the Loan Repayment or the Loan Repayment
Investment Accounts before funds from grants under Section 106
of the Act are withdrawn from the U.S. Treasury for such
purposes.
8. Secretary's Right to Restrict Use of CDBG Funds to Repayment.
Upon a determination by the Secretary that payments required by
paragraph 2 and/or paragraph 4 of this Contract are unlikely to
be made as specified, the Secretary may give the Borrower notice
that the availability to the Borrower of funds pledged under
paragraph 5(a) of this Contract for purposes other than
satisfaction of the pledge is being restricted. This restriction
shall be in an amount estimated by the Secretary to be
sufficient to ensure that the payments referred to in paragraph
2 and/or paragraph 4 hereof are made when due. This restriction
may be given effect by conditioning the restricted amounts to
prohibit disbursement for purposes other than satisfaction of
the pledge at the time such restricted funds are approved as
grants, by limiting the Borrower's ability to draw down or
expend the restricted funds for other purposes, and by
disapproving payment requests submitted with respect to such
grants for purposes other than satisfaction of the pledge.
9. Secretary's Right to Use Pledged Funds for Repayment. The
Secretary may use funds pledged under paragraph 5(a) of this
Contract or funds restricted under grants pursuant to paragraph
8 of this Contract to make any payment required of the Borrower
under paragraph 2 and/or paragraph 4, if such payment has not
Contract for Fixed Rate Note, Entitlement, 5-29-03 9
been timely made by the Borrower.
10. Defeasance. For purposes of this Contract, the Note shall be
deemed to have been paid (defeased) if there shall have been
deposited with the Trustee either moneys or Government
Obligations (defined below), which in the sole determination of
the Secretary, mature and bear interest at times and in amounts
sufficient, together with any other moneys on deposit with the
Trustee for such purpose, to pay when due the principal and
interest to become due on the Note. The Aggregate Principal
Amount of the Note or any unpaid Principal Amount may be so
defeased, in whole or in part, as of any Interest Due Date, or
any other Business Day acceptable to both HUD and the Borrower.
In accordance with the Note and the Trust Agreement, the
Borrower shall give timely notice and written instructions to
the Secretary and the Trustee concerning any principal amounts
proposed to be defeased, including any Optional Redemptions
proposed, which instructions shall be approved by the Secretary.
If the unpaid Aggregate Principal Amount of the Note guaranteed
pursuant to this Contract shall be defeased and deemed to have
been paid in full, then the Borrower shall be released from all
agreements, covenants, and further obligations under the Note.
"Government Obligation" means a direct obligation of, or any
obligation for which the full and timely payment of principal
and interest is guaranteed by, the United States of America,
including but not limited to, United States Treasury
Certificates of Indebtedness, Notes and Bonds - State and Local
Government Series or certificates of ownership of the principal
of or interest on direct obligations of, or obligations
unconditionally guaranteed by, the United States of America,
which obligations are held in trust by a commercial bank which
is a member of the Federal Reserve System and has capital and
surplus (exclusive of undivided profits) in excess of
$100,000,000.
11. Default.
(a) A Default under the Note and this Contract shall occur
upon failure by the Borrower to:
(i) pay when due an installment of principal or interest
on the Note; or (ii) punctually and properly perform,
observe, and comply with any covenant, agreement, or
condition contained in: (A) this Contract, (B) any
security agreement, deed of trust, mortgage, assignment,
guarantee, or other contract securing payment of
indebtedness evidenced by the Note, or (C) any future

for hearing with respect to a Default under paragraph 11(a).
Contract for Fixed Rate Note, Entitlement, 5-29-03 10
(c) In addition to Defaults under paragraph 11(a), the
Secretary may declare the Note in Default if the Secretary
makes a final decision in accordance with the provisions of
section 111 of the Act and 24 CFR 570.913 (or any successor
provisions), including requirements for reasonable notice and
opportunity for hearing, that the Borrower has failed to
comply substantially with title I of the Act. Notwithstanding
any other provision, following the giving of such reasonable
notice, the Secretary may, in the Secretary's sole discretion
pending the Secretary's final decision, withhold the
guarantee of any or all obligations not yet guaranteed on

Guaranteed Loan Funds Account or the Loan Repayment Account
initiated by the Borrower, and/or refuse to release
obligations and assignments by the Borrower from the
Guaranteed Loan Funds Investment Account or the Loan

108 and/or 106 of the Act.
(c) The Secretary may direct the Borrower's financial
institution to: refuse to honor any instruments drawn upon, or
withdrawals from, the Guaranteed Loan Funds Account or the Loan
Repayment Account by the Borrower, and/or refuse to release
obligations and assignments by the Borrower from the Guaranteed
Loan Funds Investment Account or the Loan Repayment Investment
Account; and/or direct the Borrower and/or the Borrower's
financial institution to transfer remaining balances from the
Guaranteed Loan Funds Account to the Loan Repayment Account.

Honorable Mel Martinez
Secretary of Housing and Urban Development
451 7t' Street, SW
Washington, DC 20410-0001
Dear Secretary Martinez:
The undersigned, being duly licensed and in good standing to practice law in the
State of California, is legal counsel to the City of National City ("Borrower"). As
such, I have represented the Borrower regarding that certain promissory note,
referred to as Note No. B-00-MC-06-0560, in the Aggregate Principal Amount of
$6,900,000 ("Note"), to be executed by the Borrower payable to the order of the
Registered Holder thereof, and to be guaranteed by the Secretary of Housing and
Urban Development ("HUD") under Section 108 of the Housing and Development
Act of 1974, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 5308 ("Section 108"). The Note will be
included in a trust created by HUD (together with other Section 108 Notes issued
by other borrowers), and trust certificates based on the trust will be sold in the
Series 2003-A public offering by underwriters selected by HUD. HUD's guarantee
of the Note will be governed by the Contract for Loan Guarantee Assistance under
Section 108 between the Borrower and HUD (the "Contract"), in which the
Borrower pledges Community Development Block Grants pursuant to 24 CFR
570.705(b)(2), as well as any other security specified in the Contract, as security
for HUD's guarantee.
In my capacity as legal counsel, I have made an examination and investigation of all
such matters of fact and questions of law as I consider necessary or advisable to
enable me to render the opinion hereafter set forth. Specifically, and without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, I have examined:
1. A Resolution of the governing body of Borrower dated July 15, 2003,
authorizing Borrower to enter into this transaction, and authorizing Nick
Inzunza, Mayor of the City of National City to execute on behalf of Borrower
all documents necessary or desirable to accomplish the transaction.

2. The Contract
3. The Note
4. The Trust Agreement, the Amended and Restated Master Fiscal Agency
Agreement, and the form of Supplement to the Trust Agreement to be
executed by the Secretary of HUD for the closing of the Public offering.
Based on the foregoing investigation and authorities, I am of the opinion that:
1. Borrower has authorized in accordance with applicable State and local law,
the transaction, including issuance of the Note, the pledge of grant funds,
and the execution of all documents necessary or desirable to accomplish the
transaction.
2. Borrower has authorized Nick lnzunza, in his capacity as Mayor, to execute
the Contract, the Note and all other documents necessary or desirable to
accomplish the transaction.
3. The Note and the Contract have been duly executed by the aforementioned
authorized representative of the Borrower, and upon delivery thereof, due
execution of the Contract and Guarantee on behalf of HUD, and receipt of
the loan proceeds on behalf of the Borrower, the Note and Contract shall be
valid, binding and enforceable obligations of the Borrower.
4. The pledge of present and future Community Development Block Grants by
the Borrower pursuant to 24 CFR 570.705(b)(2) and the Contract is valid.
5. There is no outstanding, or to my knowledge threatened, action, suit,
proceeding, investigation or litigation by or against the Borrower that will
affect the validity of the Note or the security therefor.
Sincerely,

COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT
MEETING DATE: July 15, 2003 AGENDA ITEM NO. 11
c 3ZI
ITEM TITLE: RESOLUTION NO. 2003- : AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE CERTAIN DOCUMENTS
REQUIRED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT TO SECURE A SECTION 108
LOAN FOR THE PURPOSE OF CONSTRUCTING A NEW MAIN FIRE STATION
PREPARED BY: Paul Desrocher, DEPARTMENT Community Development Commission
Executive Directo 336.4250
EXPLANATION:
The City of National City has been approved by HUD to obtain a $6.9 million loan for the purpose of constructing a new
main fire station at 16th Street and D Avenue. In order to secure the funding now, the Mayor must be authorized by the
City Council to execute a Promissory Note (Exhibit "A") and a Contract for Loan Guarantee Assistance (Exhibit "B"). In
addition, an opinion of counsel (Exhibit "C") will be required from the City Attorney. These documents must be received
by HUD on or before July 22, 2003 to meet the deadline of August 7, 2003 Public Offering Date for sale of the Notes
which will fund the 108 Loan.
Final costs including trustee, underwriting, legal, printing (etc...) will not be known until one week before the Public Offer-
ing Date. However, it is anticipated that these costs will not exceed $47,000. These costs will be added to the loan.
HUD will require that loan repayments be made from CDBG entitlement funds, unless the City desires to repay the loan
from an alternative source of revenue. HUD will also require a first trust deed lien on the new fire station facility. The
interest charged on the loan over the 20 year period is unknown. However, the annual payment based on the 2002
Public Offering at an interest rate of 4.79% would be $536,820. The current rate, again is unknown; however based on
current market conditions and rates that are more favorable, an interest rate of 3.75% could be possible bringing the an-
nual payment down to $490,912. Of course, a lower rate will yield a lower payment and a higher rate will yield a higher
payment. For comparative purposes, the 20-year AAA rated tax-exempt bond is at an interest rate of 4.65% today; the
average rate is approximately 4.50% including costs of issuance.

Financial Statement
Annual payments over the next 20 years will be required to repay the principal amount of the $6.9 million loan, plus inter-
est. The likely source of repayment will be CDBG funds, however, the City/CDC does have the option to repay the loan
from alternate sources. In either case, HUD will require CDBG funds as repayment if other sources are not available.

Explanation continued:
Although called a HUD loan, the Section 108 Program is actually a mechanism
where HUD sells bonds in the financial market. The offering is underwritten by
Credit Suisse First Boston, UBS Warburg and Merrill Lynch & Co. HUD, through
approved legislation, guarantees trust certificates that are backed by a trust
composed of notes and other obligations guaranteed under Section 108.
National City's note will be included in a trust together with notes from other
jurisdictions from around the country.
This bond issue is dictated by the Trust Agreement and the Amended and
Restated Master Fiscal Agency Agreement whereby the City consents to JP
Morgan as trustee and agrees to the terms of Public Offering, including the Trust
Agreement. The Trust Agreement provides the duties and responsibilities of the
Trustee.
It should also be noted that at the time of the writing of this report, the current
President's HUD Budget does not include funding for Section 108 Loans for next
year. Although this could be revised via the Congressional process, this type of
financing may not be available to the City of National City in future years.
