WHEREAS, Developer has requested that the City consider the formation of a community facilities district pursuant to the provisions of the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982, as amended(the"Act"), and has undertaken proceedings for the authorization of special taxes and issuance of bonded indebtedness for the payment of the construction and/or acquisition of certain public improvements to be owned, operated or maintained by the City and Eastern Municipal Water District(the "Water District") and incidental expenses in accordance with the Act; and WHEREAS, in order to proceed in a timely way with development of its property within the CFD which is described in the attached Exhibit "A" (the "Developer Property"), Developer desires to fund through the Community Facilities District(i) acquisition or construction of certain public improvements that are to be owned, operated and maintained by Water District ("Water District Improvements"), as set forth and described in Exhibit "C" (the Water District Improvements) or, (ii) improvements included in the City's fee programs (the "City Fee Facility Improvements"),as more particularly set forth and described in Exhibit"B"(the City Fee Facility Improvements); and WHEREAS,the City is authorized by the Act to form the CFD and to issue bonds secured by Special Taxes (as defined in Section 2.2)of the CFD (the"Bonds")to fund the Improvements; and WHEREAS, the City Council has adopted the City's policies and procedures concerning the use of special district financing programs to finance City facilities (the "Policy"); and WHEREAS, the purpose of this Agreement is to constitute a formal understanding between Developer and the City (pursuant to the requirements of Government Code Section 53313.51 and other provisions of the Act and the Policy)concerning financial and other obligations and responsibilities related to the formation of the Community Facilities District and the Improvements to be financed by the Community Facilities District, when and if formed, to the extent funds are available,and to set forth the conditions upon which(1)the Community Facilities District will fund the City Fee Facility Improvements and the City will grant credit against the City Development Impact Fees described in Exhibit "B" ("City Fees") in an amount equal to such funding; and (2)the Community Facilities District will also fund Water District Improvements. NOW,THEREFORE, it is mutually agreed between the respective Parties as follows: 1. FORMATION COSTS DocuSign Envelope ID:ODA24126-F909-40DO-B6B2-A3BFAAA82628 The City has retained,at the Developer's expense,the necessary consultants to analyze the proposed formation of the CFD, including the special tax consultant, bond counsel, and other consultants deemed necessary by the City. The Developer has advanced to the City a sum of money for such costs, all or a part of which may be eligible for reimbursement from the CFD in accordance with the Reimbursement Agreement dated as of April 21, 2020 (the "Reimbursement Agreement") between the Developer and the City. 2. SALE OF BONDS 2.1 City Policies. The City Council has adopted the Policy, setting forth the City's policies and procedures concerning the use of special district financing programs to finance the Improvements. Pursuant to the Policy,the total annual amount of the special taxes to be collected with respect to a parcel within the CFD and all other taxes and assessments which will be collected with respect to such parcel must not exceed two percent(2%)of the Fair Market Value(as defined in the Policy) of such parcel. The Parties hereby agree that, unless waived by the City, at the time of issuance of the Bonds, the ratio of the value of all parcels of property for which the Bonds are being issued to the amount of outstanding community facilities district or assessment district bonds attributable to such parcels (the "Value-to-Lien Ratio") may not be less than four-to-one (4:1). Unless waived by the City, the Fair Market Value of the property within the Community Facilities District for purposes of determining the foregoing ratio will be determined based on the appraised value of the property based on the appraisal made by an appraiser selected by the City with a valuation date within three (3) months of the issuance of the Bonds, or, with respect to developed projects (as determined in the sole discretion of the City)or issuance of refunding bonds,the assessed value of the property. Subject to satisfaction of the Policy and the requirements of this Agreement,the City shall use its best efforts to issue and sell the Bonds in one or more series in an amount sufficient to fund the Improvements in accordance with the schedule for development of the Developer Property. 2.2 Securityfor or Payment of Special Taxes. (a) Concurrently with the issuance and sale of each series of the Bonds, the owner of any land within the Community Facilities District, together with land owned by any affiliate of such owner(collectively,an"Account Party"),the Maximum Special Tax for the then- current fiscal year (as defined in the Rate and Method of Apportionment of Special Tax for the Community Facilities District(the"Rate and Method")and such Special Tax referred to herein as the"Special Tax"or"Special Taxes"),applicable to which equals or exceeds 20%of the aggregate Maximum Special Tax authorized to be levied in the Community Facilities District in such fiscal year,shall deliver to the City either(i)a renewable irrevocable instrument of credit from a financial institution (rated "A" or better) or(ii)cash in-lieu thereof(a"Security"). The Security shall be in an amount equal to 200% of the product of the maximum annual debt service on the Bonds proposed to be issued times a fraction the numerator of which is the aggregate Maximum Special Taxes in the then current fiscal year applicable to the land within the Community Facilities District owned by the Account Party and the denominator of which is the total Maximum Special Tax applicable to all land in the Community Facilities District in such fiscal year (the "Stated Amount"). The Security shall be maintained by the Account Party in each fiscal year until DocuSign Envelope ID:ODA24126-F909-40DO-B6B2-A3BFAAA82628 terminated in accordance with Section 2.2(c)below. While the Security is still required the Stated Amount of such Security shall be reduced as set forth in a Certificate of Reduction or Termination (as defined in Section 2.2(c) below). The Security shall name the City, or its designee, as a beneficiary and shall provide that the City,or its designee,may draw an amount equal to any delinquencies in payment of semiannual installments of the Special Taxes levied on property owned by the Account Party in the Community Facilities District. The total amount to be drawn under the Security shall not exceed an amount equal to the Special Taxes owed by the Account Party with respect to property within the Community Facilities District that is delinquent at the time the draw is made. The amount drawn on the Security shall be applied in the same manner and for the same purposes as the delinquent Special Taxes would have been applied; provided, however the payment of a draw under the Security will not be deemed to cure the delinquency in payment of the Special Taxes. If, subsequent to a draw on the Security and prior to the satisfaction of any reimbursements due to the institution providing the Security (the "Security Provider") pursuant to this Agreement, the City receives payment of all or a portion of the delinquent Special Taxes or the proceeds of a sale of delinquent real property pursuant to foreclosure proceedings("Delinquency Proceeds") for a parcel for which the Security has been drawn,the Security Provider shall be reimbursed for such draws to the extent of Delinquency Proceeds net of the City's costs of collection, provided that the Security is or has been concurrently reinstated to, or a Substitute Security (as defined below) provided for,the then applicable Stated Amount. The Security Provider is intended by the Parties to be a third party beneficiary of this Section 2.2. (b) The Security shall be renewed, or a substitute Security reasonably satisfactory to the City (a"Substitute Security") provided, not less than thirty (30) calendar days prior to the expiration of the Security or Substitute Security then in effect. If the Account Party provides a Substitute Security to the City, then the City or its designee, shall return any existing Security on the effective date of the Substitute Security to the Security Provider. If the Security is not renewed within thirty (30) days prior to its expiration date and the requirements for release or termination of the Security as set forth in Section 2.2(c) below have not then been met, the full amount of the Security may be drawn by the City and deposited in an account established under the Indenture (as hereinafter defined) or in such account established with a financial institution selected by the City. Thereafter, amounts in such account shall be held as security, and if Special Taxes owed by the Account Party with respect to property within the Community Facilities District are not paid prior to delinquency,then such amounts in such account may be applied by the City to pay the delinquent Special Taxes owed by the Account Party with respect to such property on the same terms and conditions applicable hereunder to draws on the Security. At such time as the Security is renewed, or a Substitute Security is accepted by the City,or the requirement for the Security has been terminated pursuant to this section, the City or its designee, shall release all amounts in the Security account to the Security Provider within ten (10) calendar days from the date of renewal or acceptance. DocuSign Envelope ID:ODA24126-F909-40DO-B6B2-A3BFAAA82628 (c) Following the sale or transfer by the Account Party of any property to a person other than the Account Party, or upon the prepayment of the Special Tax obligation for a parcel owned by the Account Party, the Account Party shall notify the Community Facilities District of such event, in writing,and, if requested by the Account Party,the Stated Amount of the Security shall be reduced and be recalculated in accordance with this Section 2.2(c); provided, however, that any costs associated with the recalculation and reduction shall be borne by the Account Party. Subject to Section 2.2(d) below, the Stated Amount may be reduced to an amount equal to 200%of the product of the maximum annual debt service on the outstanding Bonds times a fraction the numerator of which is the aggregate Maximum Special Tax applicable to the land within the Community Facilities District owned by the Account Party and the denominator of which is the total Maximum Special Tax to all land in the Community Facilities District as of June 1 of the year of calculation. The Security shall be terminated when (i) the Account Party has paid all Special Taxes in the current fiscal year and the property owned by the Account Party in the Community Facilities District is expected to be responsible for less than 20% of the Maximum Special Tax in the next fiscal year. Reduction or termination of a Security shall occur automatically upon submission to the Security Provider by the City of a "Certificate of Reduction or Termination." The City shall deliver to the Security Provider, such Certificate of Reduction or Termination promptly upon receiving from the Account Party a certification which shall be made under penalty of perjury and which shall indicate(i)the legal description of all land owned by the Account Party,and either(ii) a recalculation of the new Stated Amount that the Account Party proposes be applicable to the Security or(iii) if termination of the Security is requested,a statement that one of the requirements set forth in the preceding paragraph for termination of the Security has been satisfied. The Account Party shall notify the City of any events that will result in a reduction of the Stated Amount of the Security and shall provide the City with verification of said events. The Account Party may provide the City with a Substitute Security in the reduced amount,and the City shall release and return to the Security Provider the Security then in effect. The Parties expressly acknowledge that the Account Party's failure to so notify the City or to reduce the Security at the times prescribed herein shall in no way effect or invalidate sale or transfer of property, or recordation of maps on property. (d) If property is sold or transferred by an Account Party with the result that the land owned by the transferee or any of its affiliates ("Transferee") is responsible for 20%or more of the aggregate Maximum Special Tax authorized to be levied in the Community Facilities District, a Security on the same terms specified in Section 2.2(a) above will be furnished by Transferee with respect to all land owned by such Transferee in the Community Facilities District. Any applicable purchase and sale agreement and/or escrow instructions shall notify the Transferee of this Security requirement and obligate the Transferee to provide such Security, if applicable. The Security of the Account Party will not be reduced to reflect the sale or transfer of land until a Security is furnished by the Transferee and accepted by the City. The issuing financial institution and the form and terms of said Security will be subject to reasonable prior approval by the City. All terms provided in this Section 2.2 are applicable to the Transferee by replacing the term "Account Party" at each place where it occurs in each section with the term "Transferee." Each provider of a Security for a Transferee shall be an express third party beneficiary of the provisions of this Section 2.2. DocuSign Envelope ID:ODA24126-F909-40DO-B6B2-A3BFAAA82628 Any costs related to the holding or maintaining the Security, including any fees of a fiscal agent,trustee or other depository shall be borne by the Account Party. 2.3 Major Landowner Initial and Continuing Disclosure. An owner of land which is responsible for twenty percent (20%) or more of the Special Tax in the fiscal year in which the Bonds are issued or in the fiscal year following the fiscal year in which the Bonds are issued (a "Major Landowner") will be required to provide all information regarding the development of its property, including the financing plan for such development, which is necessary to ensure that the official statement for such Bonds complies with the requirements of Rule 15c2-12 of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Rule") and all other applicable federal and state securities laws. Additionally, Developer acknowledges that, if it is a Major Landowner at the time of issuance of the Bonds, it will be necessary that Developer enter into a continuing disclosure agreement to provide such continuing disclosure pertaining to the development of the land owned by Developer within the CFD as necessary to assist the underwriter in complying with the continuing disclosure requirements of the Rule and/or to assist in the marketing of the Bonds 2.4 Bond Issuance Parameters. The terms and conditions upon which each series of the Bonds shall be issued and sold, the method of sale of the Bonds and the pricing of the Bonds shall be determined solely by the City in its reasonable discretion in conformance with the requirements of Government Code Section 53313.5, the Act,the Policy,and this Agreement. The Bonds shall be issued with a tern not to exceed 35 years from the date of issuance of the Bonds, or such longer term as is then permitted by law. The proceeds of the Bonds shall be used in the following priority to (1) fund a reserve fund for the payment of principal and interest with respect to the Bonds in an amount equal to the least of (i) ten percent (10%) of the total bond issue, (ii) maximum annual debt service on Bonds,or(iii) 125%of average annual debt service; (2)fund capitalized interest through the interest payment date on the Bonds for which Special Taxes are not available for payment of debt service on the Bonds; (3)reimburse the Developer or its designee pursuant to Section 1 hereof for CFD formation costs pursuant to the Reimbursement Agreement which have not already been reimbursed to the Developer from collected Special Tax; (4) pay for costs of issuance of the Bonds including, without limitation, underwriter's discount,bond counsel and disclosure counsel fees, appraisal and special tax consultant fees, printing, and fiscal agent fees; (5) pay for the costs of forming the Community Facilities District; and (6)pay for the actual costs of the Improvements. The Community Facilities District shall maintain records relating to the disbursements of proceeds of the sale of the Bonds. The Indenture or Resolution (hereinafter "Indenture") for the Bonds shall establish an acquisition and construction fund or improvement fund (herein, the "Improvement Fund") into which shall be deposited initially the proceeds of the Bonds net of the amount of proceeds required to fund items(1)through(5)in the second preceding sentence. The Indenture shall also establish separate accounts of the Improvement Fund designated the"City Fee Facilities Improvements Account"and the"Water District Improvements Account" into which shall be deposited such portions of the Improvement Fund as agreed by the Parties and directed by the City in writing at or subsequent to the closing of the sale of the Bonds consistent with the following priorities: (a) Amounts determined by the City to be reimbursed to the Developer in accordance with the Reimbursement Agreement for the advance of the costs of formation of the Community Facilities District; DocuSign Envelope ID:ODA24126-F909-40DO-B6B2-A3BFAAA82628 (b) An amount equal to the City Fees applicable to the development of the Developer Property to fund City Fee Facility Improvements shall be deposited in the City Fee Facility Improvements Account (less the amount of any Special Taxes levied in the CFD and collected by the CFD remaining after the payment of administrative expenses of the CFD and the reimbursement of the Developer for CFD formation costs pursuant to Section 1 hereof shall be deposited into the City Fee Facility Improvements Account at the time of Bond issuance, unless otherwise directed in writing by the Developer); (c) An additional amount equal to 20% of the amount deposited in the City Facility Improvements Account pursuant to clause (b) above shall also be deposited in the City Fee Facility Improvements Account; and (d) If applicable,an amount to be agreed upon between Developer and the CFD prior to the issuance of Bonds sufficient to fund the reasonable, current actual and/or estimated costs of the Water District Improvements shall be deposited, or later transferred, to the Water District Improvements Account.

Such Special Taxes collected by the City shall first be applied to fund annual administrative expenses of the Community Facilities District and then to fund Improvements in the same manner and priority as the proceeds of Bonds as set forth in Section 2 above. Upon sale and delivery of the Bonds, the City shall annually levy the Special Tax as provided for in documents pursuant to which the Bonds were issued.

The City shall place each Deposit in a capital facilities account(s). If the Developer has made any Deposits to the City, then following deposit of Special Taxes or Bond proceeds in the City Fee Facility Improvements Account, the City shall return to the Developer, from the capital account in which the Deposits were deposited the Deposits not previously returned, without interest or other earnings thereon. The City shall be so obligated to return such Deposits only to the extent that an equivalent amount of the Deposits to be returned is deposited in the City Fee Facility Improvements Account from Bond proceeds or Special Tax collections prior to the issuance of Bonds. Special Taxes and Bond proceeds used to finance City Fee Facility Improvements shall be allocated first for return of all Deposits prior to being allocated to the payment of City Fees not previously deposited by the Developer. Any Deposits that have not been returned to the Developer at the time it is determined that there will be no further Bond proceeds available(i.e.the final series of Bonds to finance the Improvements have been issued) shall be retained by the City and may be used for the purposes for which the City Fee was required, and the unrefunded Deposits shall constitute full and final payment for such City Fees, without any increase of any kind. 6.
