C. Pursuant to Assembly Bill 26 from the 2011-12 First Extraordinary Session of the
California Legislature, which was signed by the Governor on June 28, 2011 ("ABx1 26"), all
redevelopment agency activities, except continued performance of "enforceable obligations,"
were immediately suspended. A lawsuit was filed, challenging the constitutionality of ABx1 26
and companion bill ABx1 27 (which would have allowed redevelopment agencies to remain in
existence and continue redevelopment, if the legislative bodies that established the agencies
elected to participate in a "voluntary alternative redevelopment program" and make certain
remittance payments). The California Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of ABx1 26,
revising the effective dates of certain provisions, and struck down as unconstitutional ABx1 27.
(California Redevelopment Assn. v. Matosantos (2011) 53 Ca1.4th 231 (the "CRA Case"). ABx1
26 is chapter 5, Statutes 2011, First Extraordinary Session, which added Part 1.8 (suspension
provisions) and Part 1.85 (dissolution provisions) ("Part 1.85") of Division 24 of the Health and
Safety Code. Under the CRA Case, all redevelopment agencies dissolved February 1, 2012. On
June 27, 2012, the California Legislature passed, and the Governor signed, Assembly Bill 1484

by ABx1 26, and added Chapter 9 to Part 1.85.

amended by AB 1484, the City Council of the City of Arroyo Grande adopted its Resolution No.
4421 on January 10, 2012, electing to retain the housing assets and functions previously
performed by the Agency. Pursuant to said resolution, all housing assets of the Agency were
transferred to Subordinate Lender on February 1, 2012. Pursuant to subdivision (e)(2) of Health

Subordinate Lender pursuant to, and shall be secured by the lien of,the Subordinate Mortgage.

contrary provision contained in the Subordinate Loan Documents or City Regulatory Agreement,
a Permanent Loan Default shall not constitute a default under the Subordinate Loan Documents
