Salaries
6.1.1 There shall be a ten percent (10%) increase to base salary effective July 16, 2016
for employees covered by this agreement. Salary Schedules are attached to this
Memorandum of Understanding. Salaries have been rounded up or down to the
nearest dollar.
6.1.2 Field Training Officer Those qualified and assigned FTO duties will receive a 5%
bonus pay differential for the actual time spent in the supervision and training of
new police officers during their field training only.
6.1.3 Shift Differential Pay Those working shifts designated by management as
swing shift or graveyard shift will be paid $.83 per hour for those hours
worked within the designated shift. For example, a typical swing shift would be
hours worked between 4:30 p.m. and 2:30 a.m. and
a typical graveyard shift would be hours worked between 8:30 p.m. and 6:30 a.m.
Any officer assigned to Swing or Graveyard shift, who is called in early or held
over beyond the assigned shift is not entitled to the shift differential for hours
beyond the assigned shift. However, appropriate overtime will be paid, if
required. As an example, an officer assigned to Graveyard shift who is asked to
report to work two hours early for operational needs, would be paid overtime, if
required, on the additional two hours but shift differential would only apply for
the normal ten hours. While the department works the 4-10 schedule, there
should be no more than ten hours of shift differential pay per shift.
6.1.4 Sixth Step- After an employee has been at the E step of a certain Range for two
(2) years, that employee shall be elevated to the F step which shall reflect a 5%
salary increase.
6.1.5 Canine Officer It is recognized that the officer who has the responsibility for
the police dog has additional duties associated with the care and feeding of the
animal. The City therefore wishes to fairly compensate the individual for these
PAGE 3
special tasks not associated with the regular responsibilities of a police officer, to
comply with the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). The City will pay the canine
officer an additional two (2) hours per week for these specific tasks.
6.1.6 Merit Increase Employees are not eligible for a merit increase from step A to
step B until the twelve-month anniversary i.e. end of probation.
6.1.7 Signing Bonus A one-time, cash payment of $2,500 will be paid on the first full
pay-period after January 1, 2017. The payment will be afforded to all members
covered by this agreement and employed on January 1, 2017. The one-time
payment meant to retain employees; is taxable income; and is unrelated to merit
or services performed.
6.1.8 Investigations - An Officer assigned to Investigations shall receive a premium of
5% of base wage for the Pay-period(s) so assigned, effective.
6.2
Additional Incentives
6.2.1 POST Certification Incentive The City shall add to the base salary of each
permanent full time employee who has been awarded an Intermediate and/or

provide retirement benefits under the Public Employees Retirement System
plan commonly know as 3% @ 55. The Citys plan shall also provide highest final
year compensation factor and conversion of unused sick leave to service credit.
IRS provision 414 (h)(2) shall also be implemented to provide for payment of
employees share of PERS premium from non-taxed dollars. Employees shall pay
the full employees share of PERS premiums. The City shall pay the full employer
share of PERS premiums.
The Public Employees' Pension Reform Act of 2013 (PEPRA) and related Public
Employees' Retirement law amendments in Assembly Bill 340 became law on
September 12, 2012 and the provisions were effective January 1, 2013.
The City and LPOA agree to implement all PEPRA provisions, and all applicable
amendments thereto. Effective January 1, 2013 all employees defined by PEPRA
as "new members" shall pay 50% of the total normal cost for the new Safety
PERS pension formula 2.7%@57, which is currently 11.5% of reportable
compensation, with a three-year final compensation period. "Classic members"
(employees hired prior to January 1, 2013) will retain the 3%@55 Safety PERS
formula, which is a 9% employee contribution, with a one-year final
compensation period.
The PEPRA defines a "new member" as : a) A new hire who is brought into
CalPERS membership for the first time on or after January 1, 2013, and who has
no prior membership in any California public retirement system; b) A new hire
who is brought into CalPERS membership for the first time on or after January 1,
2013 and who is not eligible for reciprocity with another California public
retirement system; c) A member who first established CalPERS membership prior

exceed the maximum premium that the City contributes for the City
sponsored plan for active employees.

PURPOSE OF REPORT:

Discussion
Action Item
Page 1
Requirements include no additional interest cost and no additional principal other than the amount needed to
redeem the outstanding bonds, pay for issuance costs, and meet required debt reserves.
Based on analysis provided by various financial institutions and reviewed by our financial advisor, it was
determined that there is sufficient interest rate savings to justify beginning the approval process for issuing
refunding bonds. As part of AB 1484, there are multiple steps involved in receiving approval and issuing any
refunding bonds.
The steps necessary to issue Refunding Bonds include the following:
If necessary, drafting and approval of Refunding Bond Official Statement required to sell bonds
The next steps to move this transaction forward are to finalize the Financial Advisors Savings Report and send it
with this Agency Board approved form of Indenture and other documents to the California Department of
Finance (DOF). DOF will then have 65 days to review and approve of the Agency Boards and Oversight Boards
actions. At that time, the Bonds can be sold to investors and rates and terms locked in. During the 65 day
period, the finance team will evaluate whether a direct placement to a bank or a public offering to the municipal
marketplace will be utilized. If a public offering is deemed to be the best option, then an investor disclosure
prospectus known as a preliminary official statement (POS) will be developed and put before the Agency
Board for its approval. If a direct placement, no POS approval will be required.
By approving the Resolution, the Agency Board will authorize approval of the form of the Indenture which is the
document that sets the terms and conditions of the bond transaction. These terms will be finalized upon the
actual sale of the bonds to investors and that is the time when a bond purchase agreement will be executed
which will set the final interest rates, redemption provisions and other terms. It is anticipated that with Agency
Board approval of the Resolution, the sale and closing of the Refunding Bonds could be completed by August
2016.
OPTIONS:
1. Approve the recommendation as presented, adopt the associated resolution.
2. Do not approve but provide direction to staff.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None
$150,000 issuance costs, 1.54 million net cash flow savings Budgeted Item?
Yes
No
Yes
No
Affected fund(s):
General Fund
Water OM Fund
Successor Agency Private Purpose Trust Fund
Sewer OM Fund
Comments: The cash flow savings for the remaining term of the bonds (maturity in 2038) is estimated to be
$1.54 million. That represents $1.54 million in interest that the property tax payers in the City of Lakeport and
the surrounding area will save. The net present value (NPV) of that savings would be $754,739. After applying
funds saved in the debt service reserve, the NPV of the benefit is reduced to $456,814. This is illustrated in the
following debt service comparison schedule.

It is important to note that approximately 47% of this $1.54 million in cash flow savings would be afforded to the
Lakeport Unified School District (LUSD), which would offset the contribution to the District by the States general
fund. In other words, that 47% share of savings would benefit the State of California and not necessarily LUSD
and the property tax payers that support it.
SUGGESTED MOTIONS:
Move to approve the issuance of refunding bonds in order to refund certain outstanding bonds of the dissolved
Lakeport Redevelopment Agency, approve the execution and delivery of a form of indenture of trust relating
thereto and request oversight board approval of the issuance of the refunding bonds, request certain
determinations by the oversight board, and provide for other matters properly relating thereto

redemption, then upon surrender of such Bond the Successor Agency shall execute and the

Agency, a new Bond or Bonds of the same interest rate and maturity, of authorized
denominations, in aggregate principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Bond to be

amount of each such Bond. The Bonds to be redeemed shall be the Bonds to which were
assigned numbers so selected, but only so much of the principal amount of each such Bond of a
denomination of more than $5,000 shall be redeemed as shall equal $5,000 for each number
assigned to it and so selected. All Bonds redeemed or purchased pursuant to this Section 2.05(d)

such officer before the Closing Date, such signature will nevertheless be as effective as if the
officer had remained in office until the Closing Date. A Bond may be signed and attested on
behalf of the Successor Agency by such persons as at the actual date of the execution of that
Bond are the proper officers of the Successor Agency, duly authorized to execute debt
instruments on behalf of the Successor Agency, although on the date of that Bond any such
person was not an officer of the Successor Agency.
Only those Bonds bearing a certificate of authentication in the form set forth in Appendix
A, manually executed and dated by the Trustee, are valid or obligatory for any purpose or
entitled to the benefits of this Indenture, and such certificate of the Trustee is conclusive
evidence that such Bonds have been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and are entitled
to the benefits of this Indenture. In the event temporary Bonds are issued pursuant to Section
2.10 hereof, the temporary Bonds may bear thereon a Certificate of Authentication executed and
dated by the Trustee, shall be initially registered by the Trustee, and, until so exchanged as
provided under Section 2.10 hereof, the temporary Bonds shall be entitled to the same benefits
pursuant to this Indenture as definitive Bonds authenticated and delivered hereunder.
INDENTURE
- 19 -
Bond issued under this Section and of the expenses which may be incurred by the Trustee in
connection therewith. Any Bond issued under the provisions of this Section in lieu of any Bond
alleged to be lost, destroyed or stolen will constitute an original additional contractual obligation
on the part of the Successor Agency whether or not the Bond so alleged to be lost, destroyed or
stolen be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be equally and proportionately entitled to
the benefits of this Indenture with all other Bonds issued under this Indenture.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, in lieu of delivering a new Bond for
which principal has become due for a Bond which has been mutilated, lost, destroyed or stolen,
the Trustee may make payment of such Bond in accordance with its terms upon receipt of
indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee.
SECTION 2.10. Temporary Bonds. The Bonds may be initially issued in temporary form
exchangeable for definitive Bonds when ready for delivery. The temporary Bonds may be
printed, lithographed or typewritten, shall be of such denominations as may be determined by the
Successor Agency, and may contain such reference to any of the provisions of this Indenture as
may be appropriate. Every temporary Bond shall be executed by the Successor Agency upon the
same conditions and in substantially the same manner as the definitive Bonds. If the Successor
Agency issues temporary Bonds, it will execute and furnish definitive Bonds without delay, and
thereupon the temporary Bonds shall be surrendered, for cancellation, in exchange therefor at the
Office of the Trustee, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange for such
temporary Bonds an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive Bonds of authorized
denominations, interest rates and like maturities. Until so exchanged, the temporary Bonds shall
be entitled to the same benefits pursuant to this Indenture as definitive Bonds authenticated and
delivered hereunder.
SECTION 2.11. Book-Entry System.
(a) Original Delivery. The Bonds shall be initially delivered in the form of a separate
single fully registered Bond without coupons (which may be typewritten) for each maturity of
the Bonds. Upon initial delivery, the ownership of each such Bond shall be registered on the
Registration Books in the name of the Nominee. Except as provided in subsection (c), the
ownership of all of the Outstanding Bonds shall be registered in the name of the Nominee on the
Registration Books.
With respect to Bonds the ownership of which shall be registered in the name of the
Nominee, neither the Successor Agency nor the Trustee shall have any responsibility or
obligation to any Depository System Participant or to any person on behalf of which the
Depository System Participant holds an interest in the Bonds. Without limiting the generality of
the immediately preceding sentence, neither the Successor Agency nor the Trustee shall have any
responsibility or obligation with respect to (i) the accuracy of the records of the Depository, the
Nominee or any Depository System Participant with respect to any ownership interest in the
Bonds, (ii) the delivery to any Depository System Participant or any other person, other than a
Bond Owner as shown in the Registration Books, of any notice with respect to the Bonds,
including any notice of redemption, (iii) the selection by the Depository of the beneficial
interests in the Bonds to be redeemed in the event the Successor Agency elects to redeem the
INDENTURE
- 21 -
Bonds in part, (iv) the payment to any Depository System Participant or any other person, other
than a Bond Owner as shown in the Registration Books, of any amount with respect to principal,
premium, if any, or interest on the Bonds or (v) any consent given or other action taken by the
Depository as Owner of the Bonds. The Successor Agency and the Trustee may treat and
consider the person in whose name each Bond is registered as the absolute owner of such Bond
for the purpose of payment of principal, premium and interest on such Bond, for the purpose of
giving notices of redemption and other matters with respect to such Bond, for the purpose of
registering transfers of ownership of such Bond, and for all other purposes whatsoever. The
Trustee shall pay the principal of and interest and premium, if any, on the Bonds only to the
respective Owners or their respective attorneys duly authorized in writing, and all such payments
shall be valid and effective to fully satisfy and discharge all obligations with respect to payment
of principal of and interest and premium, if any, on the Bonds to the extent of the sum or sums so
paid. No person other than a Bond Owner shall receive a Bond evidencing the obligation of the
Successor Agency to make payments of principal, interest and premium, if any, pursuant to this
Indenture. Upon delivery by the Depository to the Nominee of written notice to the effect that
the Depository has determined to substitute a new nominee in its place, and subject to the
provisions herein with respect to Record Dates, such new nominee shall become the Nominee
hereunder for all purposes; and upon receipt of such a notice the Successor Agency shall
promptly deliver a copy of the same to the Trustee.
(b) Representation Letter. In order to qualify the Bonds for the Depositorys book-entry
system, the Successor Agency and the Trustee shall execute and deliver to such Depository a
letter representing such matters as shall be necessary to so qualify the Bonds. The execution and
delivery of such letter shall not in any way limit the provisions of subsection (a) above or in any
other way impose upon the Successor Agency or the Trustee any obligation whatsoever with
respect to persons having interests in the Bonds other than the Bond Owners. The Trustee agrees
to comply with all provisions in such letter with respect to the giving of notices thereunder by the
Trustee. In addition to the execution and delivery of such letter, upon written request of the
Depository or the Trustee, the Successor Agency may take any other actions, not inconsistent
with this Indenture, to qualify the Bonds for the Depositorys book-entry program.
(c) Transfers Outside Book-Entry System. In the event that either (i) the Depository
determines not to continue to act as Depository for the Bonds, or (ii) the Successor Agency
determines to terminate the Depository as such, then the Successor Agency shall thereupon
discontinue the book-entry system with such Depository. In such event, the Depository shall
cooperate with the Successor Agency and the Trustee in the issuance of replacement Bonds by
providing the Trustee with a list showing the interests of the Depository System Participants in
the Bonds, and by surrendering the Bonds, registered in the name of the Nominee, to the Trustee
on or before the date such replacement Bonds are to be issued. The Depository, by accepting
delivery of the Bonds, agrees to be bound by the provisions of this subsection (c). If, prior to the
termination of the Depository acting as such, the Successor Agency fails to identify another
Securities Depository to replace the Depository, then the Bonds shall no longer be required to be
registered in the Registration Books in the name of the Nominee, but shall be registered in
whatever name or names the Owners transferring or exchanging Bonds shall designate, in
accordance with the provisions of this Article II. Prior to its termination, the Depository shall
INDENTURE
- 22 -
furnish the Trustee with the names and addresses of the Depository System Participants and
respective ownership interests thereof.
(d) Payments to the Nominee. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture to
the contrary, so long as any Bond is registered in the name of the Nominee, all payments with
respect to principal of and interest and premium (if any) on such Bond and all notices with
respect to such Bond shall be made and given, respectively, as provided in the letter described in
subsection (b) of this Section or as otherwise instructed by the Depository.

otherwise subject (including, without limitation, the Bond Resolution and this Indenture), and no
event has occurred and is continuing which with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or

Limitations (or to the Department of Finances interpretation that any Plan Limitations are no
longer applicable to the Project Area) that might result in the Plan Limiatations being

Bonds and may be applied by the Successor Agency for any lawful purposes of the Successor

such transfer and deposit need be made to the Interest Account if the amount
contained therein is at least equal to the interest to become due on the next

Rebate Fund and deposit the excess to the Interest Account.

SECTION 4.06. Investment of Moneys in Funds. The Trustee shall invest moneys in
any of the funds established and held by the Trustee hereunder in Permitted Investments
specified in the Request of the Successor Agency (which Request will be deemed to include a

least two Business Days in advance of the making of such investments. In the absence of any
such direction from the Successor Agency, the Trustee shall invest any such moneys solely in
Permitted Investments described in clause (g) of the definition thereof. The Successor Agency
will invest moneys in the Redevelopment Obligation Retirement Fund in any obligations in
which the Successor Agency is legally authorized to invest funds within its control.
Obligations purchased as an investment of moneys in any fund or account shall be
deemed to be part of such fund or account. Whenever in this Indenture any moneys are required
to be transferred by the Successor Agency to the Trustee, such transfer may be accomplished by
transferring a like amount of Permitted Investments. All interest or gain derived from the
investment of amounts in any of the funds or accounts held by the Trustee hereunder shall be
retained in the respective fund or account from which such investment was made. For purposes
of acquiring any investments hereunder, the Trustee may commingle funds held by it hereunder
upon receipt by the Trustee of the Request of the Successor Agency. The Trustee may act as
principal or agent in the acquisition or disposition of any investment and may impose its
customary charges therefor. The Trustee has no liability for losses arising from any investments
made under this Section.
The Successor Agency acknowledges that to the extent regulations of the Comptroller of
the Currency or other applicable regulatory entity grant the Successor Agency the right to receive
brokerage confirmations of security transactions as they occur, the Successor Agency
specifically waives receipt of such confirmations to the extent permitted by law. The Trustee
will furnish the Successor Agency periodic transaction statements which shall include detail for
all investment transactions made by the Trustee hereunder. The Trustee or any of its affiliates
may act as sponsor, advisor or manager in connection with any investments made by the Trustee
hereunder.
SECTION 4.07. Valuation and Disposition of Investments.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (b) of this Section, the Successor
Agency covenants that all investments of amounts deposited in any fund or account created by or
under this Indenture, or otherwise containing gross proceeds of the Bonds (within the meaning of
Section 148 of the Tax Code) shall be acquired, disposed of and valued (as of the date that
INDENTURE
- 32 -
valuation is required by this Indenture or the Tax Code) at Fair Market Value as such term is
defined in subsection (d) below. The Trustee has no duty in connection with the determination
of Fair Market Value other than to follow the investment directions of the Successor Agency in
any Certificate or Request of the Successor Agency.
(b) Investments in funds or accounts (or portions thereof) that are subject to a yield
restriction under applicable provisions of the Tax Code shall be valued at cost thereof (consisting
of present value thereof within the meaning of Section 148 of the Tax Code); provided that the
Successor Agency must inform the Trustee which funds are subject to a yield restriction, and
must provide the Trustee with any necessary valuation criteria or formulae.
(c) Except as provided in the preceeding subsection (b), for the purpose of determining
the amount in any fund, the Trustee shall value Permitted Investments credited to such fund at
least annually at the Fair Market Value thereof. The Trustee may utilize computerized securities
pricing services that may be available to it, including those available through its regular
accounting system. If and as directed by the Successor Agency in writing, the Trustee shall sell
or present for redemption any Permitted Investment so purchased by the Trustee whenever it is
necessary to provide moneys to meet any required payment, transfer, withdrawal or disbursement
from the fund to which such Permitted Investment is credited, and the Trustee has no liability or
responsibility for any loss resulting therefrom.
(d) For purposes of this Section, the term Fair Market Value shall mean the price at
which a willing buyer would purchase the investment from a willing seller in a bona fide, arms
length transaction (determined as of the date the contract to purchase or sell the investment
becomes binding) if the investment is traded on an established securities market (within the
meaning of Section 1273 of the Tax Code) and, otherwise, the term Fair Market Value means
the acquisition price in a bona fide arms length transaction (as referenced above) if (i) the
investment is a certificate of deposit that is acquired in accordance with applicable regulations
under the Tax Code, (ii) the investment is an agreement with specifically negotiated withdrawal
or reinvestment provisions and a specifically negotiated interest rate (for example, a guaranteed

assessments or charges. The Successor Agency will duly observe and conform with all valid
requirements of any governmental authority relative to the Redevelopment Project or any part
thereof.
SECTION 5.07. Compliance with the Redevelopment Law; Maintenance of Tax
Revenues. In the event that the applicable property tax revenues provisions of the Dissolution
Act are determined by a court in a final non-appealable judicial decision to be invalid and, in
place of the invalid provisions, provisions of the Redevelopment Law or the equivalent become
INDENTURE
- 35 -
applicable to the Bonds, the Successor Agency shall comply with all requirements of the
Redevelopment Law to insure the allocation and payment to it of the Tax Revenues, including
without limitation the timely filing of any necessary statements of indebtedness with appropriate

parity to the pledge and lien herein created for the benefit of the Bonds; provided, however, that
(I) the Successor Agency may issue and sell refunding bonds payable from Tax Revenues on a
parity with Outstanding Bonds, if (a) the Successor Agency complies with the requirements of
Section 34177.5 of the Redevelopment Law, and (b) annual debt service on such refunding
bonds is lower than annual debt service on the Parity Bonds being refunded over the term of the
refunding bonds, and the final maturity of any such refunding bonds does not exceed the final

Parity Bonds issued as additional Bonds under a Supplemental Indenture, if (a) the amount on
deposit in the Reserve Account (and any subaccounts therein) shall be increased to the Reserve
Requirement taking into account the additional Bonds to be issued, and (b) in the case of Parity
Bonds not issued as additional Bonds under a Supplemental Indenture, the Parity Bonds
instrument shall state whether there shall be a reserve account established with respect to such
Parity Bonds, and shall also set forth the amount, if any, to be deposited in such reserve account
as well as the reserve requirement with respect to such Parity Bonds. Nothing herein shall
prevent the Successor Agency from issuing and selling Subordinate Debt.
SECTION 5.09. Tax Covenants Relating to the Bonds.
(a) Generally. The Successor Agency may not take any action or permit to be taken
any action within its control which would cause or which, with the passage of time if not cured
would cause, interest on the Bonds to become includable in gross income for federal income tax
purposes.
(b) Private Activity Bond Limitation. The Successor Agency shall assure that the
proceeds of the Bonds are not used in a manner which would cause the Bonds to become
private activity bonds within the meaning of Section 141(a) of the Tax Code or to meet the
private loan financing test of Section 141(c) of the Tax Code.
(c) Federal Guarantee Prohibition. The Successor Agency may not take any action or

federally guaranteed within the meaning of Section 149(b) of the Tax Code.
(d) No Arbitrage. The Successor Agency shall not take, or permit or suffer to be taken
by the Trustee or otherwise, any action with respect to the Bond proceeds which, if such action
had been reasonably expected to have been taken, or had been deliberately and intentionally
INDENTURE
- 36 -
taken, on the Closing Date, would have caused the Bonds to be arbitrage bonds within the
meaning of Section 148 of the Tax Code.
(e) Rebate of Excess Investment Earnings. The Successor Agency shall calculate or
cause to be calculated all amounts of excess investment earnings with respect to the Bonds which
are required to be rebated to the United States of America under Section 148(f) of the Tax Code,
at the times and in the manner required under the Tax Code. The Successor Agency shall pay
when due an amount equal to excess investment earnings to the United States of America in such
amounts, at such times and in such manner as may be required under the Tax Code, such
payments to be made from any source of legally available funds of the Successor Agency. The
Successor Agency shall keep or cause to be kept, and retain or cause to be retained for a period
of six years following the retirement of the Bonds, records of the determinations made under this
subsection (e).
The Trustee has no duty to monitor the compliance by the Successor Agency with any of
the covenants contained in this Section.

agrees that it will comply with and carry out all of the provisions of the Continuing Disclosure
Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture, failure of the Successor

default; provided, however, the Trustee, at the written request of any Participating Underwriter or
the Owners of at least 25% aggregate principal amount of Bonds Outstanding, shall, to the extent
the Trustee is indemnified to its satisfaction from and against any liability or expense related
thereto, or any Owner or Beneficial Owner may take such actions as may be necessary and
appropriate, including seeking mandate or specific performance by court order, to cause the
Successor Agency to comply with its obligations under this section and the Continuing
Disclosure Agreement.
ARTICLE VI
THE TRUSTEE
SECTION 6.01. Duties, Immunities and Liabilities of Trustee.
(a) The Trustee shall, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, and after the
curing or waiving of all Events of Default which may have occurred, perform such duties and
only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no implied covenants or duties
shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. The Trustee shall, during the existence of
any Event of Default (which has not been cured or waived), exercise such of the rights and
INDENTURE
- 37 -
powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise,
as a reasonable corporate trustee would exercise or use.
(b) The Successor Agency may remove the Trustee at any time, and shall remove the
Trustee (i) if at any time requested to do so by an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing
signed by the Owners of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then
Outstanding (or their attorneys duly authorized in writing) or (ii) if at any time the Trustee shall
cease to be eligible in accordance with subsection (e) of this Section, or becomes incapable of
acting, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or its property
shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take control or charge of the Trustee or of its
property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation. In each case
such removal shall be accomplished by the giving of 30 days written notice of such removal by
the Successor Agency to the Trustee, whereupon in the case of the Trustee, the Successor
Agency shall appoint a successor Trustee by an instrument in writing.
(c) The Trustee may at any time resign by giving written notice of such resignation to
the Successor Agency, and by giving notice of such resignation by first class mail, postage
prepaid, to the Owners at their respective addresses shown on the Registration Books. Upon
receiving such notice of resignation, the Successor Agency shall promptly appoint a successor
Trustee by an instrument in writing.
(d) Any removal or resignation of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee
becomes effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee. If no successor
Trustee has been appointed and accepted appointment within 45 days following giving notice of
removal or notice of resignation as aforesaid, the resigning Trustee or any Owner (on behalf of
such Owner and all other Owners) may petition any federal or state court for the appointment of
a successor Trustee, and such court may thereupon, after such notice (if any) as it may deem
proper, appoint such successor Trustee. Any successor Trustee appointed under this Indenture
shall signify its acceptance of such appointment by executing and delivering to the Successor
Agency and to its predecessor Trustee a written acceptance thereof, and to the predecessor
Trustee an instrument indemnifying the predecessor Trustee for any costs or claims arising
during the time the successor Trustee serves as Trustee hereunder, and such successor Trustee,
without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the moneys, estates,
properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of such predecessor Trustee, with like
effect as if originally named Trustee herein; but, nevertheless, upon the receipt by the
predecessor Trustee of the Request of the Successor Agency or the request of the successor
Trustee, such predecessor Trustee shall execute and deliver any and all instruments of
conveyance or further assurance and do such other things as may reasonably be required for
more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all the right, title
and interest of such predecessor Trustee in and to any property held by it under this Indenture
and shall pay over, transfer, assign and deliver to the successor Trustee any money or other
property subject to the trusts and conditions herein set forth. Upon request of the successor
Trustee, the Successor Agency will execute and deliver any and all instruments as may be
reasonably required for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor
Trustee all such moneys, estates, properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations. Upon
acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee as provided in this subsection, the Successor
INDENTURE
- 38 -
Agency shall mail or cause the successor Trustee to mail, by first class mail postage prepaid, a
notice of the succession of such Trustee to the trusts hereunder to each rating agency which then
maintains a rating on the Bonds, and to the Owners at the addresses shown on the Registration
Books. If the Successor Agency fails to mail such notice within 15 days after acceptance of
appointment by the successor Trustee, the successor Trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed
at the expense of the Successor Agency.
(e) Any Trustee appointed under the provisions of this Section in succession to the
Trustee shall be a financial institution having a corporate trust office in the State, having (or in
the case of a corporation or trust company included in a bank holding company system, the
related bank holding company shall have) a combined capital and surplus of at least
$75,000,000, and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority. If such
financial institution publishes a report of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the
requirements of any supervising or examining authority above referred to, then for the purpose of
this subsection the combined capital and surplus of such financial institution shall be deemed to
be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so
published. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this subsection (e), the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the
effect specified in this Section.
The Successor Agency will maintain a Trustee which is qualified under the provisions of
the foregoing provisions of this subsection (e), so long as any Bonds are Outstanding.
SECTION 6.02. Merger or Consolidation. Any bank or company into which the Trustee
may be merged or converted or with which either of them may be consolidated or any bank or
company resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which it shall be a party or
any bank or company to which the Trustee may sell or transfer all or substantially all of its
corporate trust business, provided such bank or company shall be eligible under subsection (e) of
Section 6.01, shall be the successor to such Trustee without the execution or filing of any paper
or any further act, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
SECTION 6.03. Liability of Trustee.
(a) The recitals of facts herein and in the Bonds contained shall be taken as statements
of the Successor Agency, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the
same, nor does it have any liability whatsoever therefor, nor does it make any representations as
to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Bonds nor does it incur any responsibility
in respect thereof, other than as expressly stated herein. The Trustee is, however, responsible for
its representations contained in its certificate of authentication on the Bonds. The Trustee is not
liable in connection with the performance of its duties hereunder, except for its own negligence
or willful misconduct. The Trustee is not liable for the acts of any agents of the Trustee selected
by it with due care. The Trustee may become the Owner of Bonds with the same rights it would
have if they were not Trustee and, to the extent permitted by law, may act as depository for and
permit any of its officers or directors to act as a member of, or in any other capacity with respect
to, any committee formed to protect the rights of the Owners, whether or not such committee
shall represent the Owners of a majority in principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding. The
INDENTURE
- 39 -
Trustee, either as principal or agent, may engage in or be entrusted in any financial or other
transaction with the Successor Agency.
(b) The Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be
taken by it in accordance with the written direction of the Owners of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Bonds at the time Outstanding relating to the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or
power conferred upon the Trustee under this Indenture.
(c) The Trustee is not liable for any action taken by it in good faith and believed by it
to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture,
except for actions arising from the negligence or willful misconduct of the Trustee. The
permissive right of the Trustee to do things enumerated hereunder shall not be construed as a
mandatory duty.
(d) The Trustee will not be deemed to have knowledge of any Event of Default
hereunder unless and until a responsible officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof, or
unless and until a responsible officer of the Trustee has received written notice thereof at its
Office. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Trustee shall not be bound to
ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions,
covenants or agreements herein or of any of the documents executed in connection with the
Bonds, or as to the existence of an Event of Default hereunder or thereunder. The Trustee shall
not be responsible for the Successor Agencys payment of principal and interest on the Bonds,
the Successor Agencys observance or performance of any other covenants, conditions or terms
contained herein, or the validity or effectiveness of any collateral given to or held by it.
(e) No provision in this Indenture requires the Trustee to risk or expend its own funds
or otherwise incur any financial liability hereunder. The Trustee shall be entitled to receive
interest on any moneys advanced by it hereunder, at the maximum rate permitted by law.
(f) The Trustee may establish additional accounts or subaccounts of the funds
established hereunder as the Trustee deems necessary or prudent in furtherance of its duties
under this Indenture.
(g) The Trustee has no responsibility or liability whatsoever with respect to any
information, statement, or recital in any official statement, offering memorandum or any other
disclosure material prepared or distributed with respect to the Bonds, nor shall the Trustee have
any obligation to review any such material, and any such review by the Trustee will not be
deemed to create any obligation, duty or liability on the part of the Trustee.
(h) Before taking any action under Article VIII hereof the Trustee may require
indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee be furnished to it to hold the Trustee harmless from any
expenses whatsoever and to protect it against any liability it may incur hereunder.
(i) The immunities extended to the Trustee also extend to its directors, officers,
employees and agents.
INDENTURE
- 40 -
(j) The permissive right of the Trustee to do things enumerated in this Indenture shall
not be construed as a duty.
(k) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereof and perform any of its
duties through attorneys, agents and receivers and shall not be answerable for the conduct of the
same if appointed by it with reasonable care.
SECTION 6.04. Right to Rely on Documents. The Trustee shall be protected in acting
upon any notice, resolution, requisition, request, consent, order, certificate, report, opinion or
other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the
proper party or parties. The Trustee may consult with counsel, including, without limitation,
Bond Counsel or other counsel of or to the Successor Agency, with regard to legal questions, and
the opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of
any action taken or suffered by the Trustee hereunder in accordance therewith.
The Trustee is not bound to recognize any person as the Owner of a Bond unless and
until such Bond is submitted for inspection, if required, and such persons title thereto is
established to the satisfaction of the Trustee.
Whenever in the administration of the trusts imposed upon it by this Indenture the
Trustee deems it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or
suffering any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein
specifically prescribed) may be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by a
Certificate of the Successor Agency, which shall be full warrant to the Trustee for any action
taken or suffered in good faith under the provisions of this Indenture in reliance upon such
Certificate, but in its discretion the Trustee may (but has no duty to), in lieu thereof, accept other
evidence of such matter or may require such additional evidence as it may deem reasonable.
SECTION 6.05. Preservation and Inspection of Documents. The Trustee will retain in
its possession all documents received by it under the provisions of this Indenture, which will be
subject during normal business hours, and upon reasonable prior written notice, to the inspection
of the Successor Agency and any Owner, and their agents and representatives duly authorized in
writing.
SECTION 6.06. Compensation and Indemnification. Absent any agreement to the
contrary, the Successor Agency will pay to the Trustee from time to time compensation for all
services rendered under this Indenture and also all expenses, charges, legal and consulting fees
and other disbursements and those of its attorneys (including any allocated costs of internal
counsel), agents and employees, incurred in and about the performance of its powers and duties
under this Indenture.
The Successor Agency further covenants and agrees to indemnify and save the Trustee
and its officers, directors, agents and employees, harmless against any loss, expense and
liabilities, whether or not litigated, which it may incur arising out of or in the exercise and
performance of its powers and duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending
INDENTURE
- 41 -
against any claim of liability and of enforcing any remedies hereunder and under any related
documents, but excluding any and all losses, expenses and liabilities which are due to the
negligence or willful misconduct of the Trustee, its officers, directors, agents or employees. The
obligations of the Successor Agency under this Section shall survive resignation or removal of
the Trustee under this Indenture and payment of the Bonds and discharge of this Indenture.
SECTION 6.07. Accounting Records and Financial Statements. The Trustee shall at all
times keep, or cause to be kept, proper books of record and account, prepared in accordance with
industry standards, in which accurate entries are made of all transactions made by it relating to
the proceeds of the Bonds and all funds and accounts established and held by the Trustee under
this Indenture. Such books of record and account shall be available for inspection by the
Successor Agency at reasonable hours, during regular business hours, with reasonable prior
notice and under reasonable circumstances. The Trustee shall furnish to the Successor Agency,
at least monthly, an accounting (which may be in the form of its customary statements) of all
transactions relating to the proceeds of the Bonds and all funds and accounts held by the Trustee
under this Indenture.

time by the execution of a Supplemental Indenture, but only with the written consent of the
Owners of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding with respect
to all Bonds then Outstanding. Any such Supplemental Indenture becomes effective upon the
execution and delivery thereof by the parties thereto and upon consent of the requisite Bond

permit the creation by the Successor Agency of any mortgage, pledge or lien
upon the Tax Revenues superior to the pledge and lien created for the
benefit of the Bonds, or reduce the percentage of Bonds required for the
affirmative vote or written consent to an amendment or modification; or

exclusion of the interest on the Bonds from gross income of the Owners for federal income tax
purposes.
ARTICLE VIII
EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
SECTION 8.01. Events of Default and Acceleration of Maturities. Each of the following
events constitutes an Event of Default hereunder:
(a)
failure to make the due and punctual payment of the principal of or interest
on any Bond when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether
at maturity as therein expressed, by declaration or otherwise;
(b)
failure by the Successor Agency to observe and perform any of the other
covenants, agreements or conditions on its part set forth in this Indenture or
in the Bonds which are within its control, other than a default described in
the preceding clause (a), if such failure has continued for a period of 30 days
after written notice thereof, specifying such failure and requiring the same to
be remedied, has been given to the Successor Agency by the Trustee or any
Owner; provided, however, if in the reasonable opinion of the Successor
Agency the failure stated in the notice can be corrected, but not within such
30-day period, such failure shall not constitute an Event of Default if the
Successor Agency institutes corrective action within such 30-day period and
thereafter diligently and in good faith cures the failure in a reasonable period
of time; or
(c)
(a)
First, to the payment of any fees, costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee
to protect the interests of the Owners of the Bonds; payment of the fees,
costs and expenses of the Trustee (including fees and expenses of its
counsel, including any allocated costs of internal counsel) incurred in and
about the performance of its powers and duties under this Indenture and the
payment of all fees, costs and expenses owing to the Trustee under Section
6.06, together with interest on all such amounts advanced by the Trustee at
the maximum rate permitted by law.
(b)
Second, to the payment of the whole amount then owing and unpaid upon
the Bonds for interest and principal, with interest on such overdue amounts
at the respective rates of interest borne by those Bonds, and in case such
moneys are insufficient to pay in full the whole amount so owing and
unpaid upon the Bonds, then to the payment of such interest, principal and
interest on overdue amounts without preference or priority among such
interest, principal and interest on overdue amounts ratably to the aggregate
of such interest, principal and interest on overdue amounts.
SECTION 8.04. Power of Trustee to Control Proceedings. If the Trustee, upon the
happening of an Event of Default, takes any action, by judicial proceedings or otherwise, in the
performance of its duties hereunder, whether upon its own discretion, with the consent or at the
request of the Owners of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then
Outstanding, it has full power, in the exercise of its discretion for the best interests of the Owners
of the Bonds, with respect to the continuance, discontinuance, withdrawal, compromise,
settlement or other disposal of such action. The Trustee may not, unless there no longer
continues an Event of Default, discontinue, withdraw, compromise or settle, or otherwise dispose
of any litigation pending at law or in equity, if at the time there has been filed with it a written
request signed by the Owners of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds
hereunder opposing such discontinuance, withdrawal, compromise, settlement or other disposal
of such litigation.
SECTION 8.05. Limitation on Owners Right to Sue. No Owner of a Bond has the right
to institute any suit, action or proceeding at law or in equity, for any remedy under or upon this
Indenture, unless:
(a)
said Owner has previously given to the Trustee written notice of the
occurrence of an Event of Default;
(b)
INDENTURE
- 46 -
(c)
(d)
the Trustee has failed to comply with such request for a period of sixty (60)
days after such written request has been received by, and said tender of
indemnity has been made to, the Trustee.
Such notification, request, tender of indemnity and refusal or omission are hereby
declared, in every case, to be conditions precedent to the exercise by any Owner of any remedy
hereunder; it being understood and intended that no one or more Owners has any right in any
manner whatever by his or their action to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the
manner herein provided, and that all proceedings at law or in equity to enforce any provision of
this Indenture shall be instituted, had and maintained in the manner herein provided and for the
equal benefit of all Owners of the Outstanding Bonds.
The right of any Owner of any Bond to receive payment of the principal of and premium,
if any, and interest on such Bond as herein provided, shall not be impaired or affected without
the written consent of such Owner, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section or
any other provision of this Indenture.
SECTION 8.06. Non-Waiver. Nothing in this Article VIII or in any other provision of
this Indenture or in the Bonds, affects or impairs the obligation of the Successor Agency, which
is absolute and unconditional, to pay from the Tax Revenues and other amounts pledged
hereunder, the principal of and interest on the Bonds to the Bond Owners when due and payable
as herein provided, or affects or impairs the right of action, which is also absolute and
unconditional, of the Bond Owners to institute suit to enforce such payment by virtue of the
contract embodied in the Bonds.
A waiver of any default by any Owner shall not affect any subsequent default or impair
any rights or remedies on the subsequent default. No delay or omission of any Owner to exercise
any right or power accruing upon any default shall impair any such right or power or shall be
construed to be a waiver of any such default or an acquiescence therein, and every power and
remedy conferred upon the Owners and the Trustee by the Redevelopment Law or by this Article
VIII may be enforced and exercised from time to time and as often as shall be deemed expedient
by the Owners. If a suit, action or proceeding to enforce any right or exercise any remedy is
abandoned or determined adversely to the Trustee or the Owners, the Successor Agency, the
Trustee and the Owners shall be restored to their former positions, rights and remedies as if such
suit, action or proceeding had not been brought or taken.
SECTION 8.07. Actions by Trustee as Attorney-in-Fact. Any suit, action or proceeding
which any Owner has the right to bring to enforce any right or remedy hereunder may be brought
by the Trustee for the equal benefit and protection of all Owners similarly situated and the
Trustee is hereby appointed (and the successive respective Owners by taking and holding the
Bonds shall be conclusively deemed so to have appointed it) the true and lawful attorney-in-fact
of the respective Owners for the purpose of bringing any such suit, action or proceeding and to
INDENTURE
- 47 -
do and perform any and all acts and things for and on behalf of the respective Owners as a class
or classes, as may be necessary or advisable in the opinion of the Trustee as such attorney-infact, subject to the provisions of Article VI. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
Section, the Trustee has no duty to enforce any such right or remedy unless it has been
indemnified to its satisfaction for any additional fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee related
thereto, including without limitation, fees and charges of its attorneys and advisors.

This Bond is one of a duly authorized issue of bonds of the Successor Agency designated
as the Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Lakeport, Series 2016
Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds (Lakeport Redevelopment Project), Bank Qualified (the
Bonds) of an aggregate principal amount of $____________, all of like tenor and date (except
for such variation, if any, as may be required to designate varying numbers, maturities or interest

Chapter 3 of Division 2 of Title 5 of the Government Code of the State of California (the
Refunding Bond Law), and pursuant to an Indenture of Trust dated as of ________ 1, 2016, by
and between the Successor Agency and the Trustee (the Indenture). Additional bonds, or other

Indenture.
The Bonds have been authorized to be issued by the Successor Agency under a resolution
of the Successor Agency adopted on May 17, 2016 (the Resolution). Reference is hereby
made to the Indenture (copies of which are on file at the office of the Successor Agency) and all
indentures supplemental thereto and to the Redevelopment Law (as defined in the Indenture) and
the Refunding Bond Law for a description of the terms on which the Bonds are issued, the
provisions with regard to the nature and extent of the Tax Revenues (as that term is defined in
the Indenture), and the rights thereunder of the registered owners of the Bonds and the rights,
duties and immunities of the Trustee and the rights and obligations of the Successor Agency
thereunder, to all of the provisions of which Indenture the Registered Owner of this Bond, by
acceptance hereof, assents and agrees.
The Bonds have been issued by the Successor Agency to refinance the Prior Bonds (as
defined in the Indenture) and to pay certain expenses of the Successor Agency in issuing the
Bonds.
There has been created under the Redevelopment Law the Redevelopment Obligation
Retirement Fund (as defined in the Indenture) into which Tax Revenues shall be deposited and
from which the Successor Agency shall transfer amounts to the Trustee for payment, when due,
of the principal of and the interest and redemption premium, if any, on the Bonds. As and to the
extent set forth in the Indenture, all such Tax Revenues are exclusively and irrevocably pledged
to and constitute a trust fund, in accordance with the terms hereof and the provisions of the
Indenture and the Redevelopment Law, for the security and payment or redemption of, including
any premium upon early redemption, and for the security and payment of interest on, the Bonds.
In addition, the Bonds shall be additionally secured at all times by a first and exclusive pledge of,
security interest in and lien upon all of the moneys in the Redevelopment Obligation Retirement
Fund, the Special Fund, the Interest Account, the Principal Account, the Sinking Account, the
A-2
Reserve Account and the Redemption Account (as such terms are defined in the Indenture).
Except for the Tax Revenues and such moneys, no funds or properties of the Successor Agency
shall be pledged to, or otherwise liable for, the payment of principal of or interest or redemption
premium, if any, on the Bonds.
Optional Redemption. The Bonds maturing on or before September 1, 20__ are not
subject to optional redemption prior to maturity. The Bonds maturing on and after September 1,
20__, are subject to redemption, at the option of the Successor Agency on any date on or after
September 1, 20__, as a whole or in part, by such maturities as shall be determined by the
Successor Agency, and by lot within a maturity, from any available source of funds, at a
redemption price equal to the principal amount of the Bonds to be redeemed, together with
accrued interest thereon to the date fixed for redemption, without premium.
The Successor Agency is required to give the Trustee written notice of its intention to
redeem Bonds under this Section 2.03 of the Indenture with a designation of the principal
amount and maturities to be redeemed at least sixty (60) days prior to the date fixed for such
redemption (or such late date as is acceptable to the Trustee), and will transfer to the Trustee for
deposit in the Special Fund all amounts required for such redemption at least five (5) Business
Days prior to the date fixed for such redemption.
Mandatory Sinking Account Redemption. The Bonds maturing on September 1, 20__
and on September 1, 20__ shall also be subject to redemption in whole, or in part by lot, on
September 1 in each of the years as set forth in the following tables, from Sinking Account
payments made by the Successor Agency pursuant to Section 4.03(c), at a redemption price
equal to the principal amount thereof to be redeemed together with accrued interest thereon to
the redemption date, without premium, or in lieu thereof shall be purchased pursuant to the
Indenture, in the aggregate respective principal amounts and on the respective dates as set forth
in the following tables; provided, however, that if some but not all of such Bonds have been
redeemed pursuant to Section 2.03 of the Indenture, the total amount of all future Sinking
Account payments with respect to such Bonds shall be reduced by the aggregate principal
amount of such Bonds so redeemed, to be allocated among such Sinking Account payments on a
pro rata basis in integral multiples of $5,000 as determined by the Successor Agency (written
notice of which determination shall be given by the Successor Agency to the Trustee).

In lieu of such redemption of Bonds pursuant to such schedule, amounts on deposit in the
Sinking Account or the Redevelopment Obligation Retirement Fund may also be used and
withdrawn by the Trustee at any time upon the Certifcate of the Successor Agency, for the
purchase of part or all of the Term Bonds at public or private sale, as and when and at such
prices (including brokerage and other charges) as Successor Agency in its discretion may
determine. The par amount of the portion of the Term Bonds so purchased by the Successor
Agency in any twelve-month period terminating sixty (60) days prior to the redemption date
shall be credited towards and will reduce the par amount of remaining applicable Term Bonds
required to be redeemed on the next succeeding redemption date.
As provided in the Indenture, notice of redemption shall be given by first class mail no
less than thirty (30) nor more than sixty (60) days prior to the redemption date to the respective
registered owners of any Bonds designated for redemption at their addresses appearing on the
Bond registration books maintained by the Trustee, but neither failure to receive such notice nor
any defect in the notice so mailed shall affect the sufficiency of the proceedings for redemption.
If this Bond is called for redemption and payment is duly provided therefor as specified
in the Indenture, interest shall cease to accrue hereon from and after the date fixed for
redemption.
This Bond is not a debt of the City of Lakeport, Lake County, the State of California, or
any of its political subdivisions, and neither said City, the County, the State of California, nor
any of its political subdivisions, is liable hereon nor in any event shall this Bond be payable out
of any funds or properties other than the Tax Revenues. The Bonds do not constitute an
indebtedness within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory debt limitation or restriction.
The rights and obligations of the Successor Agency and the owners of the Bonds may be
modified or amended at any time in the manner, to the extent and upon the terms provided in the
Indenture, but no such modification or amendment shall permit a change in the terms of maturity
of the principal of any outstanding Bond or of any installment of interest thereon or a reduction
A-4
in the rate of interest thereon without the consent of the owner of such Bond, or shall reduce the
percentages of the owners required to effect any such modification or amendment.
If an Event of Default occurs under and as defined in the Indenture, the principal of all
Bonds may be declared due and payable upon the conditions, in the manner and with the effect
provided in the Indenture, but such declaration and its consequences may be rescinded and
annulled as further provided in the Indenture.
This Bond is transferable by the Registered Owner hereof, in person or by his attorney
duly authorized in writing, at said Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, but only in the manner,
subject to the limitations and upon payment of the charges provided in the Indenture, and upon
surrender and cancellation of this Bond. Upon registration of such transfer a new Bond or
Bonds, of authorized denomination or denominations, for the same aggregate principal amount
and of the same maturity will be issued to the transferee in exchange herefor.
The Successor Agency and the Trustee may treat the Registered Owner hereof as the
absolute owner hereof for all purposes, and the Successor Agency and the Trustee shall not be
affected by any notice to the contrary.
Unless this Bond is presented by an authorized representative of The Depository Trust
Company, a New York corporation (DTC), to the Successor Agency or the Trustee for
registration of transfer, exchange, or payment, and any bond issued is registered in the name of
Cede & Co. or in such other name as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC (and
any payment is made to Cede & Co. or to such other entity as is requested by an authorized
representative of DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE, OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR
VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL inasmuch as the
registered owner hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest herein.
It is hereby certified that all of the things, conditions and acts required to exist, to have
happened or to have been performed precedent to and in the issuance of this Bond do exist, have
happened or have been performed in due and regular time, form and manner as required by the
laws of the State of California and that the amount of this Bond, together with all other
indebtedness of the Successor Agency, does not exceed any limit prescribed by any laws of the
State of California, and is not in excess of the amount of Bonds permitted to be issued under the
Indenture.
This Bond shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or become valid or

The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the earlier resignation or

desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or not taking any action, such matter (unless
other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of negligence or
willful misconduct on the part of the Escrow Agent, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established
by a certificate of an authorized representative of the Successor Agency and shall be full protection for any
action taken or not taken by the Escrow Agent in good faith reliance thereon.
The Escrow Agent may conclusively rely as to the truth and accuracy of the statements and
correctness of any opinions or calculations provided to it in connection with this Agreement and shall be

petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor.
Any bank, corporation or association into which the Escrow Agent may be merged or converted or
with which it may be consolidated, or any bank, corporation or association resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which the Escrow Agent shall be a party, or any bank, corporation or
association succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Escrow Agent shall be
the successor of the Escrow Agent hereunder without the execution or filing of any paper with any party
hereto or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto except on the part of any of the parties
hereto where an instrument of transfer or assignment is required by law to effect such succession, anything

unsecured electronic methods, provided, however, that, the Escrow Agent shall have received an
incumbency certificate listing persons designated to give such instructions or directions and containing

Supplementary information other than RSI will accompany the Citys basic financial statements. We will
subject the following supplementary information to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the basic
financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling the
supplementary information to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial
statements or to the financial statements themselves, and additional procedures in accordance with auditing
standards generally accepted in the United States of America. We intend to provide an opinion on the
following supplementary information in relation to the financial statements as a whole:
Introductory Section
Statistical Section
though the audit is properly planned and performed in accordance with U.S. GAAS and Government
Auditing Standards of the Comptroller General of the United States of America.
In making our risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the entitys preparation and fair
presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entitys internal
control. However, we will communicate to you in writing concerning any significant deficiencies or
material weaknesses in internal control relevant to the audit of the financial statements that we have
identified during the audit.
We will issue a written report upon completion of our audit of the Citys basic financial statements. Our
report will be addressed to the governing body of the City. We cannot provide assurance that unmodified
opinions will be expressed. Circumstances may arise in which it is necessary for us to modify our opinions,
add an emphasis-of-matter or other-matter paragraph(s), or withdraw from the engagement.
In accordance with the requirements of Government Auditing Standards, we will also issue a written report
describing the scope of our testing over internal control over financial reporting and over compliance with
laws, regulations, and provisions of grants and contracts, including the results of that testing. However,
providing an opinion on internal control and compliance over financial reporting will not be an objective
of the audit and, therefore, no such opinion will be expressed.
Audit of Major Program Compliance
Our audit of the Citys major federal award program(s) compliance will be conducted in accordance with
the requirements of the Single Audit Act, as amended; and the Uniform Guidance, and will include tests of
accounting records, a determination of major programs in accordance with the Uniform Guidance and other
procedures we consider necessary to enable us to express such an opinion on major federal award program
compliance and to render the required reports. We cannot provide assurance that an unmodified opinion on
compliance will be expressed. Circumstances may arise in which it is necessary for us to modify our opinion
or withdraw from the engagement.
The Uniform Guidance requires that we also plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the entity has complied with applicable laws and regulations and the provisions of contracts
and grant agreements applicable to major federal award programs. Our procedures will consist of
determining major federal programs and performing the applicable procedures described in the U.S. Office
of Management and Budget OMB Compliance Supplement for the types of compliance requirements that
could have a direct and material effect on each of the entitys major programs. The purpose of those
procedures will be to express an opinion on the entitys compliance with requirements applicable to each
of its major programs in our report on compliance issued pursuant to the Uniform Guidance.
Also, as required by the Uniform Guidance, we will perform tests of controls to evaluate the effectiveness
of the design and operation of controls that we consider relevant to preventing or detecting material
noncompliance with compliance requirements applicable to each of the entitys major federal award
programs. However, our tests will be less in scope than would be necessary to render an opinion on these
controls and, accordingly, no opinion will be expressed in our report.
We will issue a report on compliance that will include an opinion or disclaimer of opinion regarding the
entitys major federal award programs, and a report on internal controls over compliance that will report
any significant deficiencies and material weaknesses identified; however, such report will not express an
opinion on internal control.

entities from any refinancing resulting in cash flow savings
Identify any potential covenant defaults under existing contractual obligations
of the Successor Agency that would be avoided by the refinancing
Evaluate the tax increment cash flow management plan for the City/Successor
Agency. Determine whether the cash flow management plan for the
Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund (RPTTF) will work with respect to
Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (ROPS) procedures of the
City/Successor Agency and the timing of debt payments by the City/Successor
Agency to all of its obligors. If potential problems are foreseen, recommend

results (no variable rate bonds, no bullets, no spikes, and estimated savings
projections).
Consultant will prepare, review, analyze, and provide structuring advice for the
refunding bonds. Given the unique nature of post-redevelopment agency financing, it
is important to quantify the benefit to all taxing agencies in order to mitigate potential
hurdles at the Oversight Board or DOF level as a refunding moves forward. Being
proactive and providing the benefit analysis to all agencies that request information
will minimize delays or opposition.
In addition, Consultant will evaluate the method of sale (i.e. private placement or
public offering), bond structure, legal approaches, and financial advantages for each

also include the analysis on credit enhancement options including bond insurance
and reserve surety bond policies. Consultant has experience with active credit
enhancement/insurance companies and will meet with these firms and discuss
transaction as appropriate.

process (schedule) and develop timeline for issuance of the tax allocation bonds.
If public offering method of sale, prepare and coordinate a comprehensive credit
presentation to the rating services. This presentation will cover all relevant tax
increment information regarding the financing and will be designed to address
the Agency's ability to fund the annual debt service payments through its revenue
base. Prepare a similar credit package to bond insurance companies, if applicable.
This credit presentation/write-up will also be utilized with respect to a direct
placement to a bank.
Coordinate the efforts of bond and disclosure counsel and any other legal counsel,
with respect to the preparation and approval of the financing documents by the
Agency and Oversight Boards.
Provide advice on financing structure for incorporation into bond documents.
If a public offering method of sale is utilized, and based on information provided
to Consultant by the Agency and other participants in the financing, work with the
Agencys disclosure counsel to assemble the official statement for the financing in
a manner consistent with existing laws and regulations and standards of the
securities industry. The official statement serves as a marketing instrument and
disclosure document for the Agency with respect to the financing.

behalf of the Agency, and monitor the underwriter's sales effort to ensure the
lowest financing costs are achieved
