-9-

Tax Revenues shall be applied solely to the payment of the
Bonds and the Parity Bonds and the interest thereon as in
this Resolution provided. Such allocation and pledge is for
the exclusive benefit of the Holders of the Bonds and the
Parity Bonds and shall be irrevocable.
The Bonds shall be and are special obligations of
the Agency and are hereby secured by an irrevocable pledge
of, and are payable as to principal, premiums, if any, and
interest from Tax Revenues and other funds as hereinafter
provided. The Bonds, premiums, if any, and interest thereon
are not a debt of the City, the State of California or any
of its political subdivisions and neither the City, the
State of California nor any of its political subdivisions is
liable on the Bonds, nor in any event shall the Bonds,
premiums, if any, and interest thereon be payable out of any
funds or properties other than those of the Agency as set
forth in this Resolution. The Bonds do not constitute an
indebtedness within the meaning of any constitutional or
statutory debt limitation or restriction. Neither the
members of the Agency nor any persons executing the Bonds
are liable personally on the Bonds by reason of their
issuance.
The Bonds shall be and are equally secured by an
irrevocable pledge of Tax Revenues and other funds as
hereinafter provided, without priority for number, date of
sale, date of execution, or date of delivery, except as
expressly provided herein.
-10-
851102 jlw 03211ILS(1)
The validity of the Bonds is not and shall not be
dependent upon the completion of the redevelopment of the
Project.Area or the Added Territory or upon the performance
by any person of an obligation of that person relative to
such redevelopment.
The bonds and the interest thereon shall not be
paid from any proceeds from the sale, lease or other
disposition of property in the Project Area or the Added
Territory, nor shall the payment of such principal and
interest be secured by any interest in property used or to
be used in a trade or business or in payments in respect of
such property or derived from payments in respect of
property, or borrowed money, used or to be used in a trade
or business, within the meaning of Section 103(b)(2)(B) of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended, and the
regulations promulgated thereunder.
B. Defeasance. Nothing in this Resolution shall
preclude: (i) the payment of the Bonds, or any Series
thereof, from the proceeds of refunding bonds issued
pursuant to law, or (ii) the payment of the Bonds, or any
Series thereof, from any legally available funds. Nothing
in this Resolution shall prevent the Agency from making
advances of its own funds howsoever derived to any of the
uses and purposes mentioned in this Resolution. If the
Agency shall pay or cause to be paid, or shall have made
provision to pay upon maturity or upon redemption prior to
-11-
851102 jlw 03211'115(1)
maturity to the Holders of the Bonds, or any Series thereof,
the principal and interest to become due thereon, together
with any applicable premium, through setting aside in trust
funds or setting apart in a reserve fund or special trust
account created pursuant to this Resolution or otherwise, or
through the irrevocable segregation for that purpose in some
sinking fund or other fund or trust account with a respon-
sible bank or trust company, moneys sufficient therefor or
Federal Securities, the principal of and interest on which
when due will be sufficient therefor, then, as to the Bonds,
or series thereof, as the case may be, the lien of this
Resolution, including, without limitation, the pledge of the
Tax Revenues and the other funds pledged hereunder, and all
other rights granted hereby, shall thereupon cease,
terminate and become void and be discharged and satisfied,
and the Bonds, or Series thereof, as the case may be, and
interest increments thereon and any applicable premium on
such Bonds shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding and
unpaid; provided, however, that nothing in this Resolution
shall require the deposit of more than such Federal
Securities as may be sufficient, taking into account both
the principal amount of such Federal Securities and the
interest to become due thereon, to implement any refunding
of the Bonds. In such event, the Fiscal Agent shall cause
an accounting for such period or periods as shall be
requested by the Agency to be prepared and filed with the
-12-
851102 jlw 0321W15(1)
Agency, and the Fiscal Agent, upon the request of the
Agency, shall release this Resolution as to the Bonds, or
Series thereof, as the case may be, and execute and deliver
to the Agency all such instruments as may be desirable to
evidence such release, discharge and satisfaction, and the
Fiscal Agent shall pay over or deliver to the Agency all
moneys or securities held by it pursuant to this Resolution
as to the Bonds, or the Series thereof, as the case may be,
which are not required for the payment or redemption of
Bonds, or Series thereof, as the case may be, not
theretofore surrendered for such payment or redemption.
In case any of the Bonds are to be redeemed on any
date prior to their maturity, the Agency shall give to the
Fiscal Agent, in form satisfactory to it, irrevocable
instructions to provide notice of redemption as provided in
Section 11.C. of this Resolution. In the event the Bonds
are not by their terms subject to redemption within the next
succeeding sixty (60) days, the Agency shall give the Fiscal
Agent in form satisfactory to it irrevocable instructions to
provide notice, as soon as practicable, to the Holders of
such Bonds that the deposit required is this Section 3.B has
been made and that the Bonds are deemed to have been paid in
accordance with this Section and stating the maturity or
redemption date upon which moneys are to be available for
the payment of the principal and interest to become due on
the Bonds, together with any applicable premium thereon.
-13-
851102 jlw 0321WLS(1)
Neither the obligations nor moneys deposited pursuant to
this Section or principal or interest payments on any such
obligations nor moneys deposited pursuant to this Section
nor principal or interest payments on any such obligations
shall be withdrawn or used for any purpose other than, and
shall be held in trust for the payment of the principal and
interest to become due on the Bonds, together with any
applicable premium thereon; provided that any cash received
from such principal or interest payments on such
obligations, if not then needed for such purpose, shall, to
the extent practicable, be reinvested in Federal Securities
maturing at times and in amount sufficient to pay when due
the principal and interest to become due on such Bonds,
together with any applicable premium thereon on and prior to
such redemption date or maturity date thereof, as the case
may be.
Section 4. Description of Bonds. The Bonds shall

Section 5. Interest. The Bonds shall bear
interest at a rate or rates to be hereafter fixed by resolu-
tion, but not to exceed the then maximum legal rate per
annum, payable semiannually. Each such Bond shall bear
interest until the principal sum thereof has been paid;
provided, however, that if, on any redemption date, funds
are available for the payment thereof in full accordance
with the terms of this Resolution, such Bonds as shall have
been called for redemption and for which notice of such
redemption shall have been given shall then cease to bear
interest.
The Bonds shall be numbered by the Fiscal Agent as
the Fiscal Agent shall determine and shall be dated as of
the date of authentication thereof, except that Bonds issued
upon exchanges and transfers of Bonds shall be dated so that
no gain or loss of interest shall result from such exchange
or transfer. Each Bond shall bear interest from the
interest payment date next preceding the delivery date
thereof unless such delivery date shall be an interest
payment date, in which case it shall bear interest from such
date. Interest on the Bonds shall be paid by the Fiscal
Agent, out of the appropriate funds, by check or draft

necessary or appropriate variations, omissions and
insertions, as permitted or required by this Resolution or
any supplemental resolution.
Any Bonds issued under this Resolution may be
initially issued in temporary form exchangeable for
definitive Bonds when the same are ready for delivery. The
temporary Bonds may be printed, lithographed or typewritten,
shall be of such denominations as may be determined by the

reproduced thereon. The Chairman and the foregoing members
and officers are hereby authorized and directed to sign the
Bonds in accordance with this Section. If any Agency member
or officer whose manual or facsimile signature appears on
the Bonds ceases to be such member or officer before
delivery of the Bonds, such signature is as effective as if
such member or officer had remained in office, and the Bonds
shall be as binding upon the Agency as though the person who
-17-
851102 jlw 0321WLS(1)
signed the Bonds had been such member or officer on the date
borne by the Bonds. The Bonds shall be authenticated by the
Fiscal Agent by manual signature.
Section 9. Form of Bonds, Registration and
Exchange. The Bonds are issued as Fully Registered Bonds
payable to the registered owner, negotiable only by proper
transfer of registration.
A Fully Registered Bond or Fully Registered Bonds
may be exchanged for a Fully Registered Bond or Fully
Registered Bonds. Transfer of ownership of a Fully
Registered Bond or Fully Registered Bonds shall be made by
exchanging the same for a new Fully Registered Bond or Fully
Registered Bonds. All of such exchanges shall be made in
such manner and upon such reasonable terms and conditions as
may from time to time be determined and prescribed by the
Agency; provided, however, no such exchange shall be made
between the fifteenth (15th) day of the month preceding any
interest payment date and such interest payment date. Such
exchanges may be subject to costs or charges to the person,
firm or corporation requesting such exchange, and for any
tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection
with such exchange. Each Fully Registered Bond issued
pursuant to this Resolution shall be of a denomination which
is five thousand dollars ($5,000) or a whole multiple

regulations as it may prescribe, register or transfer, or
cause to be registered or transferred, on such register, the
Bonds as provided above.
Section 11. Redemption of Bonds Prior to Maturity.
A. Terms of Redemption. The date or dates upon
which all or part of the Bonds of a Series may be called for
redemption before maturity (the "redemption date" or
"redemption dates") and the premium, if any, applicable
thereto shall be as set forth in a Supplemental Resolution,
as described in Section 13 hereof. If less than all of the
Bonds of a Series outstanding are to be redeemed at any one
time, the Bonds to be redeemed shall be redeemed in inverse
order of maturity and by lot within a maturity.
B. Call for Redemption. The Agency may, and, if
required by any provision of this Resolution, shall, direct
the call and redemption prior to maturity of Bonds, which
are by their terms then callable for redemption, by the
Fiscal Agent in such amounts for which funds are available
and shall give notice to the Fiscal Agent of such redemption
at least sixty (60) days prior to the redemption date.
-19-
851102 jIw 03211OLS(1)
C. Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption
prior to maturity, except as provided below, shall be given
by mailing such notice not less than thirty (30) nor more
than sixty (60) days before such redemption date, to each
registered owner of such Bond. The notice of redemption
shall (i) state the redemption date; (ii) state the redemp-
tion price; (iii) state the Series, the numbers and dates of
maturity of the Bonds to be redeemed; provided, however,
that whenever any call for redemption includes all of the
outstanding Bonds of any maturity of a Series, the numbers
of the Bonds need not be stated; (iv) state, as to any Fully
Registered Bonds redeemed in part only, the registered Bond
numbers and the principal portion thereof to be redeemed;
and (v) state that interest on the principal portion of the
Bonds so designated for redemption shall cease to accrue
from and after such redemption date and that on such date
there will become due and payable on each of the Bonds the
principal amount thereof to be redeemed, interest accrued
thereon to the redemption date and the premium thereon, if
any, such premium to be specified.
The actual receipt by the Holder of any Bond of
notice of such redemption shall not be a condition precedent
to redemption, and failure to receive such notice shall not
affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of
such Bonds or the cessation of interest on the redemption
date. Notice of redemption of Bonds shall be given by the
-20-
851102 jlw 0321WLS(1)
Fiscal Agent for and on behalf of the Agency at the expense
of the Agency.
A certificate by the Fiscal Agent that notice of
redemption has been given as herein provided shall be
conclusive as against all parties, and no Bondholder whose
Bond is called for redemption may object thereto or object
to the cessation of interest on the redemption date fixed by
any claim or showing that such Bondholder failed actually to
receive such notice of call and redemption.
D. Redemption Fund. Prior to the publication as
above required: (i) the Fiscal Agent shall establish,
maintain and hold in trust a separate fund which is hereby
created for the purpose of this Resolution entitled "Project
Area No. 1, As Amended (Original Territory Only), Tax
Allocation Bonds, Redemption Fund" (the "Redemption Fund");
and (ii) there shall be set aside in the Redemption Fund,
transferred from the appropriate Account or Accounts in the
Special Fund or from other legally available funds of the
Agency, moneys for the purpose and sufficient to redeem, at
the premiums, if any, payable as provided in this Resolution
or a Supplemental Resolution, the Bonds designated in such
notice of redemption. This provision shall not apply,
however, to a redemption made as part of a plan of
defeasance in accordance with Section 3.B hereof. Such
moneys must be set aside in the Redemption Fund solely for
that purpose and shall be applied on or after the redemption
-21-
851102 jiw 0321WLS(1)
date to the payment of principal and premium, if any, of the
Bonds to be redeemed upon presentation and surrender of such
Bonds. Any interest due on or prior to the redemption date
upon the Bonds shall be paid from the Special Fund upon
presentation and surrender thereof.
E. Partial Redemption of Fully Registered
Bonds. Upon Surrender of any Fully Registered Bond redeemed
in part only, the Agency shall execute and the Fiscal Agent
shall authenticate and deliver to the registered owner
thereof, at the expense of the Agency, a new Bond or Bonds
of authorized denominations equal in aggregate principal
amount to the unredeemed portion of the Fully Registered
Bond surrendered and of the same interest rate or rates and
same maturity or maturities. The registered owner of any
Fully Registered Bond, in lieu of surrendering such Bond for
a new Bond, may endorse on the reverse of such Fully
Registered Bond a notation of such partial redemption in
such form as may be satisfactory to the Agency and the
Fiscal Agent and under such conditions as the Fiscal Agent
may approve. Such partial redemption shall be valid upon
payment of the amount thereby required to be paid to such
registered owner, and the Agency and the Fiscal Agent shall
be released and discharged from all liability to the extent
of such payment, irrespective of whether such endorsement
shall or shall not have been made upon the reverse of such
Fully Registered Bond by such registered owner and
irrespective of any error or omission in such endorsement.
-22-
851102 jlw 0321WLS(1)
F. Effect of Redemption. Notice of redemption
having been duly given as aforesaid, and moneys for payment
of the principal of, premiums, if any, and interest payable
upon redemption of the Bonds having been set aside in the
Redemption Fund, the Bonds, or parts thereof, as the case
may be, called for redemption shall, on the redemption date,
become due and payable at the redemption price specified in
such notice, interest on the Bonds, or parts thereof, as the
case may be, so called for redemption shall cease to accrue,
and the Bonds, or parts thereof, as the case may be, shall
cease to be entitled to any lien, benefit or security under
this Resolution, and the Holders of the Bonds shall have no
rights in respect thereof except to receive payment of the
redemption price thereof, and, in the case of partial
redemption of Fully Registered Bonds, also to receive a new
Bond or Bonds for the unredeemed balance as aforesaid.
All Bonds, or parts thereof, as the case may be,
redeemed pursuant to the provisions of this Section shall be
canceled upon surrender thereof and delivered to, or upon
the order of, the Agency.
So long as any of the Bonds or Parity Bonds herein
authorized, or any interest thereon, remain unpaid, the
moneys in the Redemption Fund shall be used for no purpose
other than those required or permitted by this Resolution,
any Supplemental Resolution, any resolution providing for
the issuance of Parity Bonds and the Redevelopment Law.

Section 13. Supplemental Resolution, Sale of
Bonds, Disposition of Bond Proceeds; Redevelopment Fund.
Whenever the Agency determines to issue all or part of the
Bonds, it shall adopt a Supplemental Resolution specifying
the principal amount of such Bonds to be issued and
providing for: (i) the distinctive designation thereof, if
the same are sold in Series; (ii) the date which the Bonds
shall bear; (iii) the method of numbering the Bonds; (iv)
the maturity dates of the Bonds; (v) the date or dates on
which all or part of the Bonds may be called for redemption
prior to maturity and the premiums, if any, applicable
thereto; (vi) any restrictions upon the issuance of further
Series of the issue, if the Bonds are sold in Series; (vii)
any other provision respecting the Bonds not in conflict
with the terms of this Resolution.
The Agency may provide by resolution for the sale
of the Bonds specified in a Supplemental Resolution.
The proceeds from the sale of the Bonds shall be
disposed of as provided in a Supplemental Resolution.
The moneys transferred to and placed in the
Redevelopment Fund shall remain therein until from time to
time expended solely for the purpose of financing a portion
of the cost of the redevelopment of the Project Area and
other costs related thereto, and also including in such
costs:
-25-
851102 jlw 0321WLS(1)
A. The cost of any lawful purpose in connection
with such redevelopment, including, without limitation,
those purposes authorized by Section 33445 of the Redevelop-
ment Law; and
B. Any costs and expenses in connection with the
issuance and sale of the Bonds, and fees of the Fiscal Agent
and Paying Agents.
If any sum remains in the Redevelopment Fund after
the full accomplishment of the objects and purposes for
which the Bonds were issued, such sum shall be transferred
to the Special Fund.
Section 14. Tax Revenues. The Tax Revenues are
hereby allocated and irrevocably pledged to the payment of
the principal of an interest on the Bonds and all Parity
Bonds as in this Resolution provided, and until all of the
Bonds and Parity Bonds, and all interest thereon, have been
paid, or until moneys for that purpose have been irrevocably
set aside as provided in Section 3.B or Section 11.F hereof,
the Tax Revenues shall be applied solely to the payment of
the Bonds and the Parity Bonds and the interest thereon as
in this Resolution provided. Such allocation and pledge is
for the exclusive benefit of the Holders of the Bonds and
the Parity Bonds and shall be irrevocable.
Section 15. Special Fund. All Tax Revenues shall
be deposited in the Special Fund. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing and for the purpose of assuring
-26-
851102 jlw 0321W13(1)
that the payments referred to above will be made as
scheduled, the Tax Revenues accumulated in the Special Fund
shall be used in the following priority; provided, however,
that to the extent that deposits have been made in any of
the Accounts referred to below from the proceeds of the sale
of the Bonds or otherwise, the deposits below need not be
made:
A. Bond Interest Payment Account. Deposits shall
be made into the Bond Interest Payment Account so that the
balance in such Account thirty (30) days prior to the date
of the payment of any installment of interest on the Bonds
and the Parity Bonds shall be equal to six (6) months
interest on the then outstanding Bonds and Parity Bonds.
Moneys in the Bond Interest Payment Account shall be used
for the payment of interest on the Bonds and the Parity
Bonds as the same become due, and after such payment the
Account shall be restored by further deposits to the
required balance.
B. Serial Bond Payment Account. After the
deposits have been made pursuant to subparagraph A above,
deposits shall next be made into the Serial Bond Payment
Account so that the balance in such Account thirty (30) days
prior to the date of payment of principal is due shall equal
the next principal payment, or payments, as the case may be,
on the then outstanding serial Bond and serial Parity
Bonds. Moneys in the Serial Bond Payment Account shall be
-27-
851102 silty 0321WLS(1)
used for the payment of the principal of such serial Bonds
and serial Parity Bonds, as the same become due, and, after
such payment, the Account shall be restored by further
deposits to the required balance. No deposit shall be made
pursuant to this Section 15.B with respect to a Series of
term Notes, unless otherwise specified in a Supplemental
Resolution.
C. Term Bond Sinking Fund Account. Commencing on
a date thirteen (13) months prior to the first date set
forth on the schedule of Minimum Sinking Fund Payments con-
tained in the Supplemental Resolution, after the deposits
have been made pursuant to subparagraphs A and B above, if
the Tax Revenues are sufficient therefor, deposits shall
next be made into the Term Bond Sinking Fund Account so that
the balance in such Account thirty (30) days prior to the
date the money in such account is scheduled to be used shall
equal the then current Minimum Sinking Fund Payment on the
then outstanding term Bonds and term Parity Bonds. Moneys
in the Term Bond Sinking Fund Account shall be used and
applied by the Fiscal Agent to call and redeem the largest
principal amount of outstanding term Bonds and term Parity
Bonds which can be called, including the payment of the
applicable premium thereon, with the moneys available
therefor. After such use, if the Tax Revenues are
sufficient therefor, the Account shall be restored by
further deposits to the required balance. Any such call and
-28-
851102 jlw 0321WLS(1)
redemption shall be made in accordance with the provisions
of Section 11 hereof and according to the schedule or
schedules provided in the supplemental resolutions relating
to the Parity Bonds or in the Supplemental Resolution. In
lieu or partially in lieu of such call and redemption,
moneys in the Term Bond Sinking Fund Account may be used to
purchase outstanding term Bonds and term Parity Bonds in the
manner hereinafter provided. Purchases of outstanding term
Bonds and term Parity Bonds may be made at the direction of
the Agency by the Fiscal Agent at public or private sale but
only at prices, including brokerage or other expenses, not
more than the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest
plus the premium applicable at the next following call date
according to the schedule or schedules applicable thereto,
and any accrued interest payable upon the purchase of term
Bonds and term Parity Bonds may be paid from the amount
reserved in the Bond Interest Payment Account for the
payment of interest on the next following interest payment
date. No deposit shall be made pursuant to this Section
15.0 with respect to a Series of term Notes unless otherwise
provided by a Supplemental Resolution.
D. Reserve Account. After the deposits have been
made pursuant to subparagraphs A, B and C above, if the Tax
Revenues are sufficient therefor, deposits shall next be
made into the Reserve Account so that the balance in such
Account shall equal not less than Maximum Annual Debt
-29-
851102 j►w 0321MLS(1)
Service on all Bonds and Parity Bonds, or such other amount
as may be specified by a Supplemental Resolution, and the
balance in such Account shall be so maintained to equal the
Maximum Annual Debt Service on all Bonds and Parity Bonds,
or such other amount. Moneys in the Reserve Account shall
be used solely for the purpose of paying the interest and
principal of the Bonds and Parity Bonds and making Minimum
Sinking Fund Payments on term Bonds or term Parity Bonds in
the event that the moneys in the Bond Interest Payment
Account or Serial Bond Payment Account or Term Bond Sinking
Fund Account are insufficient therefor and for that purpose
the Fiscal Agent shall withdraw and transfer moneys from the
Reserve Account to the appropriate Account. Moneys in the
Reserve Account may be used to pay the interest and
principal of the last outstanding maturity of the Bonds and
Parity Bonds so that the issue of Bonds and Parity Bonds
will be retired. No deposit shall be made pursuant to this
Section 15.D with respect to a Series of term Notes unless
otherwise specified by a Supplemental Resolution.
E. No Default; Surplus. It is the intent of this
Resolution: (i) that the deposits in subparagraphs A and B
above to the Bond Interest Payment Account and the Serial
Bond Payment Account, respectively, shall be made as
scheduled, and (ii) that the deposits in subparagraphs C and
D above, to the Term Bond Sinking Fund Account and the
Reserve Account respectively, shall be made as scheduled, if
-30-
851102 jlw 0321WLS(1)
and only if the Tax Revenues are sufficient therefor.
Failure to make the required deposits into the Term Bond
Sinking Fund Account, as specified in subparagraph C above,
and into the Reserve Account, as specified in subparagraph D
above, shall not be an event of default, if, and only if,
the Tax Revenues are insufficient therefor. Should it be
necessary to defer all or part of any deposit referred to in
subparagraphs C and D above, such deferred deposits shall be
cumulative and shall be made when the Tax Revenues are
sufficient to make the deposits required by subparagraphs A
and B and thereafter make the deposits required by subpara-
graphs C and D. If: (i) the above transfers have been made
so that the required amounts as of that time are in all of
the above mentioned Accounts, and (ii) the Tax Revenues to
be received for the next Fiscal Year by the Agency, based
upon the most recent assessed valuation of taxable property
in the Original Territory, furnished by the appropriate
officer of the County of Riverside, are at least equal to
one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of Maximum Annual
Debt Service on all Bonds and Parity Bonds and any loans,
advances or indebtedness payable from Tax Revenues or from
other sources as provided in Section 3.A hereof on a parity
with the Bonds, then the balances in the Special Fund may be
used and applied by the Agency for any lawful purpose,
including without limitation the purchase or call and
redemption of the Bonds and Parity Bonds as set forth in
subparagraph C above.
-31-
851102 jlw 0321WL5(1)
In the event the Agency cannot meet the Maximum
Annual Debt Service test above set forth, any deficiency can
be supplied by setting aside in the Reserve Account amounts
being held in the other Accounts of the Special Fund and the
remaining surplus balances in the Special Fund may then be
used and applied by the Agency for any lawful purpose as
stated above.
In the event that on a day five (5) days prior to
any interest payment date moneys on deposit in the Bond
Interest Payment Account, the Serial Bond Payment Account,
the Term Bond Sinking Fund Account and the Reserve Account
are insufficient to pay the principal of premium, if any,
and interest on the Bonds payable on such interest payment
date, the Fiscal Agent shall provide notice thereof to the
Bond Insurer in accordance with the Bond Insurance Policy.
Moneys paid to the Fiscal Agent pursuant to the Bond
Insurance Policy shall be used and applied by the Fiscal
Agent to pay the principal of premium, if any, and interest
on the Bonds on such interest payment date, and for no other
purpose.
Section 16. Deposit and Investment of Moneys in
Funds. The moneys deposited into the Escrow Fund shall be
invested in accordance with the Escrow Agreement. Subject
to the provisions of Covenant 9 of Section 18 hereof, all
moneys held by the Agency in the Redevelopment Fund and by
the Fiscal Agent in the Special Fund, except such moneys
-32-
851102 jlw 0321WLS(1)
which are at the time invested, shall be held in time or
demand deposits in any financial institution authorized to
accept deposits of public funds, including the banking
department of the Fiscal Agent, and shall be secured at all
times by bonds or other obligations which are authorized by
law as security for public deposits and are of a market
value at least equal to the amount required by law.
Moneys in the Redevelopment Fund may be from time
to time invested by the Agency, and moneys in the Special
Fund may, and, upon written request of the Agency shall, be
invested by the Fiscal Agent as provided by the
Redevelopment Law, subject to the following restrictions:
A. Moneys in the Redevelopment Fund shall be
invested only in obligations which will by their terms
mature not later than the date the Agency estimates the
moneys represented by the particular investment will be
needed for withdrawal from such Fund.
B. Moneys in the Bond Interest Payment Account,
the Serial Bond Payment Account, and the Term Bond Sinking
Fund Account of the Special Fund shall be invested only in
obligations which will by their terms mature on such dates
as to insure that before each interest payment date there
will be in such Accounts, from matured obligations and other
moneys already in such Accounts, cash equal to the interest
and principal payable on such date.
-33-
851102 jlw 0321WLS(1)
C. Moneys in the Reserve Account of the Special
Fund shall be invested only in marketable obligations which
will be their terms mature in not more than five (5) years,
but in no event in obligations which mature after the final
maturity date of the Bonds.
D. Moneys in the Temporary Escrow Fund shall be
invested in obligations as directed by instructions of an
Independent Financial Consultant provided to the Fiscal
Agent on the date of delivery of the Bonds.
Obligations purchased as an investment of moneys in
any of such Funds or the Accounts therein shall be deemed at
all times to be a part of such Fund or Account and the
interest accruing thereon and any gain realized from such
investment shall be credited to such Fund or Account and any
loss resulting from any such authorized investment shall be
charged to such Fund or Account without liability to the
Agency or the members and officers thereof or to the Fiscal
Agent. Interest earned on the Temporary Escrow Fund shall
be deposited in the Special Fund. The Agency or the Fiscal
Agent, as the case may be, shall sell at the best price
obtainable or present for redemption any obligation so
purchased whenever it shall be necessary to do so in order
to provide moneys to meet any payment or transfer from such
Fund or Account as required by this Resolution. For the
purpose of determining at any given time the balance in any
such Fund or Account, any such investment constituting a
-34-
851102 jlw 032114L5(1)
part of such Fund or Account shall be valued at the then
estimated or appraised market value or redemption value of
such investment, whichever is less.
Whenever reference is made to sums or moneys in a
particular fund or account, or words of similar import are
used, such reference shall include, without limitation,
investments in such fund or account.
Section 17. Issuance of Parity Bonds. If at any
time the Agency determines that it will not have sufficient
moneys available from the sale of the Bonds and other
sources to pay the costs of the redevelopment of the Project
Area, As Amended, or if the Agency determines to issue
refunding bonds, the Agency may provide for the issuance of,
and sell, Parity Bonds in such principal amounts as it
estimates will be needed for such purpose. The issuance and
sale of any Parity Bonds shall be subject to the following
conditions precedent:
A. The Agency shall be in compliance with all
covenants set forth in this Resolution.
B. Tax Revenues, excluding State subventions,
received or to be received by the Agency, commencing on the
date of issuance of such Parity Bonds, based upon the most
recent equalized roll of taxable property in the Original
Territory, shall be at least equal to one hundred twenty-
five percent (125%) of the Maximum Annual Debt Service on
all Bonds, Parity Bonds and any loans, advances or indebted-
-35-
851102 jlw 0321WLS(11
ness payable from Tax Revenues on a parity with the Bonds
pursuant to Section 333670 of the Redevelopment Law, which
will be outstanding following the issuance of such Parity
Bonds.
C. The resolution providing for such Parity Bonds
shall require that from the proceeds of the sale thereof or
from other legally available funds there shall be deposited
in the Reserve Account in the Special Fund an amount such
that the balance in such Account shall equal the Maximum
Annual Debt Service.
D. The Parity Bonds shall be serial Bonds or term
Bonds, or both, and the interest thereon shall be payable
semiannually on the same dates as interest on the Bonds is
payable.
Section 18. Covenants of the Agency. As long as
the Bonds are outstanding and unpaid, the Agency shall,
through its proper members, officers, agents or employees,
faithfully perform and abide by all of the covenants,
undertakings and provisions contained in this Resolution or
in any Bond issued hereunder, including the following
Covenants and agreements for the benefit of the Bondholders
which are necessary, convenient and desirable to secure the
Bonds and will tend to make the Bonds more marketable;
provided, however, that such Covenants do not require the
Agency to expend any funds other than the Tax Revenues:
-36-
851102 jlw 0321WLS(1)
Covenant 1. Complete Redevelopment Project;
Amendment to Redevelopment Plan. The Agency covenants and
agrees that it will diligently carry out and continue to
completion, with all practicable dispatch, the redevelopment
of the Project Area, As Amended, in accordance with its duty
to do so under and in accordance with the Redevelopment Law,
the Redevelopment Plan and the Amendment and in a sound and
economical manner. The Redevelopment Plan or the Amendment
may be amended as provided in the Redevelopment Law, but no
amendment shall be made unless accompanied by a certificate
or opinion of an Independent Financial Consultant employed
by the Agency to the effect that such amendment would not so
impair the security of the Bonds or the rights of the
Bondholders.
Covenant 2. Use of Proceeds; Management and
Operation of Properties. The Agency covenants and agrees
that the proceeds of the sale of the Bonds will be deposited
and used as provided in this Resolution and that it will
cause all properties owned by it and comprising any part of
the Project Area, As Amended, to be managed and operated in
a sound and businesslike manner.
Covenant 3. No Priority. The Agency covenants and
agrees that it will not issue any obligations payable,
principal or interest, from the Tax Revenues which have, or
purport to have, any lien upon the Tax Revenues prior or
superior to the lien of the Bonds herein authorized. Except
-37-
851102 jlw 0321WLS(1)
as permitted in Section 17 hereof, the Agency will not issue
any obligations payable, principal or interest from the Tax
Revenues, which have, or purport to have, any lien upon the
Tax Revenues on a parity with the Bonds herein authorized;
provided, however, that nothing in this Resolution shall
prevent the Agency (i) from issuing and selling pursuant to
law refunding bonds or other refunding obligations payable
from and having any lawful lien upon the Tax Revenues, if
such refunding bonds or other refunding obligations are
issued for the purpose of, and are sufficient for the
purpose of, refunding all of the outstanding Bonds
authorized by this Resolution, or all outstanding Bonds of
any Series of such Bonds which may have been sold and issued
from time to time or (ii) from issuing and selling or
assuming the liability for payment of, bonds or other
obligations which have, or purport to have, any lien upon
the Tax Revenues which is junior to the Bonds herein
authorized, (iii) from issuing and selling bonds or other
obligations which are payable from sources other than the
Tax Revenues.
Covenant 4. Punctual Payment. The Agency
covenants and agrees that it will duly and punctually pay or
cause to be paid the principal of and interest on each of
the Bonds issued hereunder on the date, in the manner
provided in the Bonds, and all as provided herein.
-38-
851102 jlw 0321WLS(1)
Covenant 5. Payment of Taxes and Other Charges.
The Agency covenants and agrees that it will from time to
time pay and discharge, or cause to be paid and discharged,
all payments in lieu of taxes, service charges, assessments
or other governmental charges which may lawfully be imposed
upon the Agency or any of the properties then owned by it in
the Project Area, As Amended, or upon the revenues and
income therefrom, and will pay all lawful claims for labor,
material and supplies which if unpaid might become a lien or
charge upon any of such properties, revenues or income or
which might impair the security of the Bonds or the use of
Tax Revenues or other legally available funds to pay the
principal and interest thereon, all to the end that the
priority and security of the Bonds shall be preserved;
provided that nothing in this Covenant shall require the
Agency to make any such payment so long as the Agency in
good faith shall contest the validity thereof.
Covenant 6. Books and Accounts; Financial
Statements. The Agency covenants and agrees that it shall
at all times keep, or cause to be kept, proper and current
books and accounts, separate from all other records and
accounts, in which complete and accurate entries shall be
made of all transactions relating to the redevelopment of
the Project Area, as amended, and the Tax Revenues and other
funds relating to such redevelopment, and will prepare
within one hundred eighty (180) days after the close of each
-39-
851102 jlw 0321WL5(1)
of its Fiscal Years a complete financial statement or
statements for such year in reasonable detail covering such
redevelopment, the Tax Revenues and other funds, certified
by a certified public accountant or firm of certified public
accountants selected by the Agency, and will furnish a copy
of such statement or statements to any Bondholder upon
written request.
Covenant 7. Eminent Domain Proceeds. The Agency
covenants and agrees that if all or any part of the Project
Area or the territory added to the Project Area by the
Amendment should be taken from the Agency by eminent domain
proceedings or other proceedings authorized by law for any
public or other use under which the property will be tax
exempt, the net proceeds realized by the Agency therefrom
shall be deposited in the Special Fund and used and applied
for the purpose of paying principal of and interest on the
Bonds as in this Resolution provided.
Covenant 8. Disposition of Property. The Agency
covenants and agrees that it shall not dispose of more than
ten percent (10%) of the land area in the Original
Territory, except property shown in the Redevelopment Plan
in effect on the date this Resolution is adopted as planned
for public use, or property to be used for public streets,
public off street parking, sewage facilities, parking
easements or rights of way for public utilities, flood
control facilities, storm drainage facilities, or other
-40-
851102 jlw 0321WL5(1)
similar uses, to public bodies or other persons or entities
whose property is tax exempt, unless accompanied by a
certificate or opinion of an Independent Financial
Consultant employed by the Agency to the effect that such
disposition would not substantially impair the security of
the Bonds or the rights of the Bondholders.
Covenant 9. Protection of Security and Rights of
Bondholders: No Arbitrage. The Agency covenants and agrees
to preserve and protect the security of the Bonds and the
rights of the Bondholders and defend their rights under all
claims and demands of all persons. The Agency covenants and
agrees to contest by court action or otherwise any assertion
by the United States of America or any department or agency
thereof that the interest received by the Bondholders is
taxable under federal income tax laws in effect on the date
of issuance. The Agency covenants and agrees to take no
action which, in the opinion of counsel, would result in the
interest received by the Bondholders becoming taxable under
federal income tax laws. Any opinion of such counsel may be
based upon, insofar as it relates to factual matters,
information which is in the possession of the Agency as
shown by a certificate or opinion of, or representation by,
an officer or officers of the Agency, unless such counsel
knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should have
known, that the certificate or opinion or representation
with respect to the matters upon which such opinion may be
-41-
851102 jlw 0321WLS(1)
based, as aforesaid, is erroneous. As used herein, "opinion
of counsel" means a written opinion of an attorney or firm
of attorneys of favorable reputation in the field of
municipal bond law. The Agency hereby covenants and agrees
that it shall make no use of the proceeds of the Bonds at
any time during the term thereof which would cause the Bonds
to be "arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of that term
under Section 103(c) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954,
as amended, and applicable regulations adopted thereunder by
the Internal Revenue Service, and the Agency hereby assumes
the obligation to comply with such Section 103(c) and such
regulations throughout the term of the Bonds. The Agency
hereby further covenants and agrees that it shall make no
use of the proceeds of the Bonds which would cause the Bonds
to be "industrial development bonds" or "consumer loan
bonds" within the meaning of those terms under Section
103(b) of such Code.
Section 19. Taxation of Leased Property. Whenever
any property in the Original Territory has been redeveloped
and thereafter is leased by the Agency to any person or
persons, other than a public agency, or whenever the Agency
leases real property in the Original Territory to any person
or persons, other than a public agency, for redevelopment,
the property shall be assessed and taxed in the same manner
as privately owned property, as required by Section 33673 of
the Redevelopment Law, and the lease or contract shall
-42-
851102 jlw 0321WL5(1)
shall be a bank or trust company doing business and having
an office in Los Angeles, California, having a combined
capital and surplus of at least fifty million dollars
($50,000,000). The Fiscal Agent herein appointed or any
substituted Fiscal Agent may at any time resign as such by
writing filed with the Agency, in which event the Agency
shall forthwith appoint a substitute Fiscal Agent and the
resignation shall become effective upon such appointment.
In the event that the Fiscal Agent or any successor becomes
incapable of acting as such, the Agency shall forthwith
appoint a substitute Fiscal Agent. Any bank or trust
company into which the Fiscal Agent may be merged or with
which it may be consolidated shall become the Fiscal Agent
without action of the Agency. The Fiscal Agent may become
the owner of any of the Bonds authorized by this Resolution
with the same rights it would have had if it were not a
Fiscal Agent.
The Fiscal Agent shall have no duty or obligation
whatsoever to enforce the collection of or to exercise
diligence in the enforcement of the collection of funds
assigned to it hereunder or as to the correctness of any
amounts received, but its liability shall be limited to the
proper accounting for such funds as it shall actually
receive.
The recitals of fact and all promises, covenants
and agreements herein and in the Bonds shall be taken as
-44-
851102 jlw 0321WLS(1)
statements, promises, covenants and agreements of the Agency
and the Fiscal Agent assumes no responsibility for the
correctness of the same and makes no representations as to
the validity or sufficiency of this Resolution or of the
Bonds, and shall incur no responsibility in respect thereof,
other than in connection with the duties or obligations
herein or the Bonds assigned to or imposed upon the Fiscal
Agent. The Fiscal Agent shall not be liable in connection
with the performance of its duties hereunder except for its
own negligence or default. The Agency may provide for
paying agents.
Section 21. Lost, Stolen, Destroyed or Mutilated
Bonds or Coupons. In the event that any Bond is lost,
stolen, destroyed or mutilated, the Agency shall cause to be
issued a new Bond similar to the original to replace the
same in such manner and upon such reasonable terms and
conditions, including the payment of costs and the posting
of a surety bond if the Agency deems such surety bond
necessary, as may from time to time be determined and
prescribed by resolution. The Agency may authorize such new
Bond to be signed and authenticated in such manner as it
determines in such resolution.
Section 22. Cancellation of Bonds. All Bonds
surrendered to the Fiscal Agent for the payment shall upon
payment therefor be canceled immediately and forthwith
transmitted to the Treasurer of the Agency. Any Bonds
-45-
851102 jlw 0321WLS(1)
purchased by the Fiscal Agent as aforesaid shall be canceled
immediately and forthwith transmitted to the Treasurer of
the Agency. All of the canceled Bonds shall remain in the
custody of the Treasurer of the Agency until destroyed
pursuant to due authorization.
Section 23. Amendments. This Resolution, and the
rights and obligations of the Agency and of the holders of
the Bonds issued hereunder, may be modified or amended at
any time by resolution supplementing this Resolution adopted
by the Agency: (i) without the consent of Bondholders, if
such modification or amendment is for the purpose of curing
any ambiguities, defects or inconsistent provisions in this
Resolution or to insert such provisions clarifying matters
or questions arising under this Resolution as are necessary
and desirable to accomplish the same, provided that such
modifications or amendments do not adversely affect the
rights of the Bondholders and such modifications or
amendments are accompanied by an opinion to that effect of
counsel employed by the Agency, or (ii) except as provided
below, any other modification or amendment with the consent
of Bondholders holding sixty percent (60%) in aggregate
principal amount of the outstanding Bonds, exclusive of
Bonds, if any, owned by the Agency or the City, and obtained
as hereinafter set forth; provided, however, that no such
modification or amendment shall, without the express consent
of the Holder of the Bond affected, reduce the principal
-46-
851102 jlw 0321WLS(1)
amount of any Bond, reduce the interest rate payable
thereon, extend its maturity or the times for paying
interest thereon, or the terms or conditions for the
redemption thereof from the Term Bond Sinking Fund Account,
change the monetary medium in which principal and interest
is payable, or reduced the percentage of consent required
for amendment or modification.
Any act done pursuant to a modification or
amendment pursuant to this Section 23 shall be binding upon
the Holders of all of the Bonds and shall not be deemed an
infringement of any of the provisions of this Resolution or
of the Redevelopment Law, whatever the character of such act
may be, and may be done and performed as fully and freely as
if expressly permitted by the terms of this Resolution; and
after such consent relating to such specified matters has
been given, no Bondholder shall have any right or interest
to object to such action or in any manner to question the
propriety thereof or to enjoin or restrain the Agency or any
officer thereof from taking any action pursuant thereto.
A. Calling Bondholders' Meeting. If the Agency
shall desire to obtain any such consent it shall duly adopt
a resolution calling a meeting of Bondholders for the
purpose of considering the action, the consent which is
desired.
B. Notice of Meeting. Notice specifying the
purpose, place, date and hour of such meeting shall be
-47-
851102 jlw 0321MLS(1)
mailed, postage prepaid, to the respective registered owners
of the Bonds at their addresses appearing on the bond
register in the hands of the Fiscal Agent. The place, date
and hour of holding such meeting and the date of mailing
such notice shall be determined by the Agency in its
discretion.
The actual receipt and any Bondholder of notice of
any such meeting shall not be a condition precedent to the
holding of such meeting, and failure to receive such notice
shall not affect the validity of the proceedings thereat. A
certificate by the Secretary of the Agency, approved by
resolution of the Agency, that the meeting has been called
and that notice thereof has been given as herein provided

Section 24. Proceedings Constitute Contract. The
provisions of this Resolution, of any Supplemental
Resolution, of the resolutions providing for the sale of the
Bonds and awarding the Bonds and fixing the interest rate
thereon, and of any other resolution supplementing or
amending this Resolution, shall constitute a contract
between the Agency and the Bondholders and the provisions
thereof shall be enforceable by any Bondholder for the equal
benefit and protection of all Bondholders similarly situated
by mandamus, accounting, mandatory injunction or any other
suit, action or proceeding at law or in equity that is now
or may hereafter be authorized under the laws of the State
of California in any court of competent jurisdiction. This
contract is made under and is to be construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of California.
No remedy conferred hereby upon any Bondholder is
intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, but each
remedy is cumulative and in addition to every other remedy
and may be exercised without exhausting and without regard
to any other remedy conferred by the Redevelopment Law or
any other law of the State of California. No waiver of any
default or breach of duty or contract by any Bondholder
-51-
851102 jlw 0321WLS(1)
shall affect any subsequent default or breach of duty or
contract or shall impair any rights or remedies on such
subsequent default or breach. No delay or omission of any
Bondholder to exercise any right or power accruing upon any
default shall impair any such right or power or shall be
construed as a waiver of any such default or acquiescence
therein. Every substantive right and every remedy conferred
upon the Bondholders may be enforced and exercised as often
as may be deemed expedient. In case any suit, action or
proceeding to enforce any right or exercise any remedy shall
be brought or taken, and should such suit, action or
proceeding be abandoned or be determined adversely to the
Bondholders, then, and in every such case, the Agency and
the Bondholders shall be restored to their former positions,
rights and remedies as if such suit, action or proceeding
had not been brought or taken, and should such suit, action
or proceeding be abandoned or be determined adversely to the
Bondholders, then, and in every such case, the Agency and
the Bondholders shall be restored to their former positions,
rights and remedies as if such suit, action or proceeding
had not been brought or taken.
After the issuance and delivery of the Bonds, this
Resolution, any Supplemental Resolution and any other
supplementary resolutions thereto shall be irrepealable, but
shall be subject to modification or amendment to the extent
and in the manner provided in this Resolution, but to no
greater extent and in no other manner.
-52-
851102 j1w 0321WLS(1)
CUSIP identification numbers may be imprinted on
the Bonds, but such numbers shall not constitute a part of
the contract evidenced by the Bonds and no liability shall
hereafter attach to the Agency or any of the officer or
agents thereof because of or on account of such numbers.
Any error or omission with respect to such numbers shall not
constitute cause for refusal by the successful bidder to
accept delivery of and pay for the Bonds.
Section 25. Severability. If any covenant,
agreement or provision, or any portion thereof contained in
this Resolution, or the application thereof to any person or
circumstance, is held to be unconstitutional, invalid or
unenforceable, the remainder of this Resolution and the
application of any such covenant, agreement or provision, or
portion thereof, to other persons or circumstances, shall be
deemed severable and shall not be affected, and this
Resolution and the Bonds issued pursuant hereto shall remain
valid and the Bondholders shall retain all valid rights and
benefits accorded to them under this Resolution and the
Constitution and laws of the State of California. If the
provisions relating to the appointment and duties of a
Fiscal Agent are held to be unconstitutional, invalid or
unenforceable, such duties shall be performed by the
