C. The Holder is now the holder of the Bonds under the Original Master Pledge. D. The Issuer, the Agent and the Holder have agreed to make certain changes to the Original Master Pledge. For and in consideration of the mutual agreements hereinafter contained, the parties hereto agree as follows: ARTICLE I DEFINITIONS AND INTERPRETATION Section I.I. Definitions.

ARTICLE II AMENDMENTS Section 2.1. Amendment to Article I. Section 1.1 of the Original Master Pledge is hereby amended by (a) adding a new definition for "Permitted Transferee": "Permitted Transferee" means (1) a "qualified institutional buyer" ("QIB") as defined in Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as in effect on the date hereof (the "Securities Act") that is a financial institution or commercial bank having capital and surplus of $5,000,000,000 or more, (2) an affiliate of the Holder, (3) a trust or custodial arrangement established by the Holder or one of its affiliates or any state or local government or any agency or entity which is a political subdivision of a federal, state or local government (a "Governmental Entity"), in each case (i) the beneficial interests in which will be owned only by QIBs or (ii) the beneficial interests in which will be rated in the "BBB" category or higher without regard to modifier (or the equivalent investment grade category) by at least one nationally recognized rating agency, or (4) a Governmental Entity. (b) adding a new definition for "Minimum Beneficial Ownership Amount": "Minimum Beneficial Ownership Amount" means an amount no less than fifteen percent (15%) of the outstanding principal amount of the Bonds. (c) adding a new definition for "Required Transferee Representations": "Required Transferee Representations" means the representations in substantially the form attached to this Pledge and Assignment as Exhibit B. Section 2.2. Amendments to Article IV. (a) Section 2.8 of the Original Master Pledge is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows: "The Bonds shall be in fully registered form, registered in the name of the Holder upon registration books of the Issuer at the office of the Agent, such registration to be noted on the Bonds, after which no transfer shall be valid unless made in compliance with this Section 2.8 to a Permitted Transferee. The Bonds shall be sold, assigned, transferred or otherwise disposed of only in the Authorized Denomination. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 2.8, no beneficial ownership interest in the Bonds shall be sold in an amount that is less than the Minimum Beneficial Ownership Amount; provided, however, that beneficial ownership interests in the Bonds described in clause (3) of the definition of `Permitted Transferee' may be sold in any amount without regard to the Minimum Beneficial Ownership Amount. The Bonds shall be transferable upon said registration books by the Holder in person or by its attorney duly authorized in writing, upon surrender thereof together with a written instrument of transfer satisfactory to the Agent, duly executed by the registered Holder or its duly authorized attorney. Upon such transfer, the Agent will note the date of registration and the name and address of the newly registered Holder on the books of the Issuer and on the Bonds. The Issuer and the Agent may deem and treat the person in whose name the Bond is last registered upon the books of the Issuer, with such registration noted on the Bond, as the absolute owner thereof for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account -2- of the principal, or interest, premium and late payment fees and for all other purposes; all such payments so made to the registered Holder or upon its order shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability upon the Bond to the extent of the sum or sums so paid, and the Issuer shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary. In connection with any transfer of Bonds or a participation interest in the Bonds, each Permitted Transferee must execute and deliver to the Holder, with a copy to the Issuer, the Required Transferee Representations; provided, however, that no Required Transferee Representations shall be required to be delivered by transferees or beneficial interest holders described in clauses (3) or (4) of the definition of `Permitted Transferee."'

Amendment to add new Exhibit B a form of Required Transferee Representations as follows: Exhibit B to the Original Master Pledge shall be amended and restated as follows: EXHIBIT B FORM OF REQUIRED TRANSFEREE REPRESENTATIONS i� The undersigned, as holder (the "Holder") of the Bonds (the "Bonds") in the original amount of $6,000,000 issued by San Rafael Redevelopment Agency (the "Issuer") originated under a Master Pledge and Assignment dated as of March 1, 2007 (the "Master Pledge") among the Issuer, the Agent and the Holder named therein, hereby represents that: 1.

The Holder acknowledges that it has not relied upon the Issuer for any information in connection with the Holder's purchase of the Bonds [or an interest therein]. 3. The Holder is a Permitted Transferee. 4. The Holder acknowledges that it is purchasing [an interest in] the Bonds for investment for its own account and not with a present view toward resale or the distribution thereof, in that it does not now intend to resell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of its interests in the Loan; provided, however, that the Holder may sell or transfer the Bonds as provided in Section 2.8 of the Master Pledge. 5. In the event any placement memorandum to be provided to any subsequent buyer or beneficial owner of such portion of the Bonds will disclose information with respect to the Issuer other than its name, location and type of political subdivision and general information with respect to the Bonds and the related -3- documents, the Holder will provide the Issuer with a draft of such placement memorandum and the Issuer shall have the right to approve any description of the Issuer therein (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld). 6.
