STAPLES ARENA FUNDING AGREEMENT RECONCILIATION

The Staples Sports Arena is a sports and entertainment complex located adjacent to the Los Angeles Convention
Center. The City entered into various agreements with the Arena Developer to advance approximately $70 million
towards the project. Pursuant to the Gap Funding Agreement between the City and the Developer, the Developer is
obligated to fully offset the City's costs for debt service on bonds issued for the Arena, reimbursement for property
conveyed to the Developer, and compensation for loss of interest earnings on cash advanced toward the project. The
Agreement specifies certain credits that will offset the Developer's obligations to the City. This schedule serves as an
accounting of the Developer's obligations and offsetting credits.

**The 1998 Gap Funding Agreement authorized the Staples Developer to offset the repayment obligations with certain allowable credits.
When the allowable credit exceeds the obligation amount, the Staples Developer is allowed to carry the credit forward in the following
fiscal year. In 2003, Amendment No. 1 to the Gap Funding Agreement authorized the Staples Developer to prepay its repayment
obligations. In exchange for the City's agreement to modify the credit enhancement requirements, the Staples Developer paid the City
$16.5 million, comprised of $14.7 million for estimated shortfalls and $1.8 million for additional inducement.
