The City Council of the City of National City (the "City Council") adopted the Redevelopment Plan for National City Redevelopment Project on July 17, 2007 by Ordinance No. 2007-2295 (the "Redevelopment Plan"), which results in the allocation of a portion of the property taxes generated from the National City Redevelopment Project (the "Project Area") to the Commission for purposes of redevelopment. B. The intent of the Redevelopment Plan is, in part, to provide for the construction and installation of necessary public infrastructure and facilities and to facilitate the repair, restoration and/or replacement of existing public facilities and to perform specific actions necessary to promote the redevelopment and the economic revitalization of the Project Area; to increase, improve and preserve the community's supply of low and moderate income housing; and to take all other necessary actions to implement the Redevelopment Plan and to expend the Commission's share of property taxes (referred to as "tax increment") to accomplish the goals andobjectives of the Redevelopment Plan. C. The Commission has adopted its Five -Year Implementation Plan for the Project Area, as amended from time to time (collectively, the "Implementation Plan") with established goals to support affordable housing, economic development, community revitalization, commercial revitalization, and institutional revitalization. To implement the programs and activities associated with each goal, the Commission has made redevelopment fund commitments and budget allocations based on estimated available tax increment revenue and debt financing structures. D. Pursuant to its Resolution No. 2010-148 (the "Resolution"), the Commission agreed to provide partial funding for the City's Street Resurfacing Improvement Program for fiscal year 2010-2011 to repair curbs, gutters, sidewalks, driveways, and pedestrian crossings, and provide traffic striping and signage in the Project Area (the "Program"). The Resolution authorized the expenditure of SEVEN HUNDRED SEVENTY ONE THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED FIFTY DOLLARS and 00/100 ($771,250.00.00) of tax increment funds to reimburse the City's interim loan from its Sewer Funds to complete the Program as the Commission's contribution to the cost of the work associated with the Program (said amount referred to as the "Commission's Funding Obligation".) E. Pursuant to Section 33220 of the California Community Redevelopment Law (Health and Safety Code Section 33000 et seq.) (the "CRL"), certain public bodies, including the City may aid and cooperate in the planning, undertaking, construction, or operation of redevelopment projects. Consistent with said provisions, the City and Commission agreed to carry out the Loan Agreement Page 1 of 6 Program in accordance with the objectives and purposes of the Redevelopment Plan and the Implementation Plan. The Commission expressed its desire for assistance and cooperation in the implementation of the Program, particularly as it pertained to the Project Area portions of the infrastructure in question. The City agreed to aid the Commission and cooperate with the Commission to expeditiously implement the Program in accordance with the Redevelopment Plan and the Implementation Plan and undertake and complete all actions necessary or appropriate to ensure that the objectives of the Redevelopment Plan and the Implementation Plan are fulfilled within the City's fiscal year 2010-2011 as promised to the Commission. F. In considering the Commission's desire to ensure timely implementation and completion of the Program, the Commission wishes to enter into this Agreement with the City for the funding from of net available tax increment ("Net Tax Increment"), as defined, below, to finance the Commission's Funding Obligation. The purpose of this Agreement is to facilitate the implementation of the Projects and to provide funding necessary to effectuate the completion of the Projects with Net Tax Increment in this current fiscal year and forthcoming fiscal years. G. "Net Tax Increment" is defined as any tax increment generated from the Project Area, net of any amount required by the CRL to be set aside for purposes of increasing, improving or preserving the City's supply of low and moderate housing, any amounts paid to affected taxing agencies whether by statute or agreement and any amounts paid to the State of California or the County of San Diego as required by statute or agreement, existing debt service payments, and existing contractual obligations received by the Commission or any lawful successor of the Commission and/or to any of the powers and rights of the Commission pursuant to any applicable constitutional provision, statute or other provision of law now existing or adopted in the future. The pledge of Net Tax Increment shall constitute obligations to make payments authorized and incurred pursuant to Section 33445 and other applicable statutes. The obligations set forth in this Agreement will be contractual obligations that, if breached, will subject the Commission to damages and other liabilities or remedies. H. The City Council and the Commission by resolution have each found that the use of Commission redevelopment funding for the improvement of critical infrastructure within the Project Area scheduled in the Program is in accordance with Section 33445 of the CRL and other applicable law. The said City Council and Commission resolutions are each based on the authority of the Commission, with the consent of the City Council, to pay all or part of the cost of the installation and construction of any building, facility, structure, or other improvements which is publicly owned within the Project Area, if the City Council makes certain determinations. H. By approving and entering into this Agreement, the Commission has approved certain obligations, including the pledge of Net Tax Increment to pay for the Commission Funding Obligation. I. The obligations of the Commission under this Agreement shall constitute an indebtedness of the Commission for the purpose of carrying out the Redevelopment Plan for the Project Area.

The Commission shall have a reasonable period of time after such notice is given within which to cure the default prior to exercise of any remedies by the City under this Note and/or the Agreement.

Promissory Note - Page 5 of 7 - 14. Notwithstanding specific provisions of this Note, the Commission shall not be deemed to be in default for failure to perform any non -monetary performance hereunder where delays or defaults are due to war, insurrection, strikes, lock -outs, riots, floods, earthquakes, fires, casualties, acts of God, acts of the public enemy, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, freight embargoes, lack of transportation, govemmental restrictions or priority, litigation, unusually severe weather, inability to secure necessary labor, material or tools, delays of any contractor, sub -contractor or supplier, acts of the City or any other public or governmental Commission or entity, or any causes beyond the control or without the fault of the Commission ("Force Majeure Event").

Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the foregoing events shall constitute a Force Majeure Event unless and until the Commission delivers to the City written notice describing the event, its cause, when and how the Commission obtained knowledge, the date and the event commenced, and the estimated delay resulting therefrom. The Commission shall deliver such written notice within thirty (30) calendar days after it obtains actual knowledge of the Force Majeure Event. Times of performance under this Note may also be extended in writing by the City and the Commission. 15. If the rights created by this Note shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable as to any part of the obligations described herein, the remaining obligations shall be completely performed and paid. 16.
