SUCCESSOR AGENCY TO THE TUSTIN COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY ATTACHMENT A - AGREED -UPON PROCEDURES AND FINDINGS RELATED TO ALL OTHER FUNDS 7. Procedure: Obtain from the Successor Agency a listing of assets of All Other Funds of the former redevelopment agency as of June 30, 2012 that are not liquid or otherwise available for distribution and ascertain if the values are listed at either purchase cost or market value as recently estimated by the Successor Agency. For assets listed at purchased cost, trace the amount to a previously audited financial statement or other accounting records of the Successor Agency and note any differences. For any differences noted, inspect evidence of asset disposal subsequent to January 31, 2012 and ascertain that the proceeds were deposited into the Successor Agency's trust fund. For assets listed at recently estimated market value, inspect evidence supporting the value and note the methodology used. Finding: As of June 30, 2012, the Successor Agency's total assets related to All Other Funds of the former redevelopment agency that are not liquid amounted to $24,744,718 as shown in Schedule 7. 8A. Procedure: If the Successor Agency identified that existing asset balances were needed to be retained to satisfy enforceable obligations, obtain an itemized schedule of asset balances (resources) as of June 30, 2012 that were dedicated or restricted for the funding of enforceable obligations. Compare the information on the schedule to the legal documents that formed the basis for the dedication or restriction of the resource balance in question. Compare all current balances which needed to be retained to satisfy enforceable obligations to the amounts reported in the accounting records of the Successor Agency or to an alternative computation. Compare the specified enforceable obligations to those that were included in the final Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (BOPS) approved by the California Department of Finance. If applicable, identify any listed balances for which the Successor Agency was unable to provide appropriate restricting language in the legal document associated with the enforceable obligation. Finding: As of June 30, 2012, the Successor Agency's asset balances to be retained in order to satisfy enforceable obligations amounted to $514,957 as detailed in Schedule 8. These enforceable obligations were reported on ROPS 1. Payments of these obligations are scheduled after June 30, 2012. These enforceable obligations were not listed on the approved ROPS for the periods July 1, 2012 to December 31, 2012 (BOPS 2) and January 1, 2013 to June 30, 2013 (BOPS 3). Therefore, the Successor Agency believes that $514,957 of existing asset balances need to be retained to satisfy these enforceable obligations. 0 SUCCESSOR AGENCY TO THE TUSTIN COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY ATTACHMENT A - AGREED -UPON PROCEDURES AND FINDINGS RELATED TO ALL OTHER FUNDS 813. Procedure: If the Successor Agency identified that future revenues together with balances dedicated or restricted to an enforceable obligation are insufficient to fund future obligation payments and thus retention of current balances is required, obtain from the Successor Agency a schedule of approved enforceable obligations that include a projection of the annual spending requirements to satisfy each obligation and a projection of the annual revenues available to fund those requirements. Compare the enforceable obligations to those that were approved by the California Department of Finance for the six month period from January 1, 2012 through June 30, 2012 and for the six month period July 1, 2012 through December 31, 2012. Compare the forecasted annual spending requirements to the legal document supporting the enforceable obligation and obtain the Successor Agency's assumptions relating to the forecasted annual spending requirements. Obtain the Successor Agency's assumptions for the forecasted annual revenues. Disclose the major assumptions for the forecasted annual spending requirements and the forecasted annual revenues in this AUP report. Finding: This procedure is not applicable as the Successor Agency did not identify any assets to be retained under this procedure. 8C. Procedure: If the Successor Agency identified that projected property tax revenues and other general purpose revenues to be received by the Successor Agency are insufficient to pay bond debt service payments (considering both the timing and amount of the related cash flows), obtain a schedule demonstrating this insufficiency. Compare the timing and amounts of bond debt service payments to the related bond debt service schedules in the bond agreement. Obtain the assumptions for the forecasted property tax revenues and other general purpose revenues and disclose them in this AUP report. Finding: This procedure is not applicable as the Successor Agency did not identify any assets to be retained under this procedure. 8D. Procedure: If Procedures 8A, 8B and 8C were performed, calculate the amount of unrestricted balances necessary for retention in order to meet enforceable obligations. Combine the amount identified as currently restricted balances and the forecasted annual revenues to arrive at the amount of total resources available to fund enforceable obligations. Reduce the total resources available by the amount of forecasted annual spending requirements. Include the calculation in this AUP report. 7 SUCCESSOR AGENCY TO THE TUSTIN COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY ATTACHMENT A - AGREED-UPON PROCEDURES AND FINDINGS RELATED TO ALL OTHER FUNDS 8D. Finding: The unrestricted balances necessary for retention to meet enforceable obligations is detailed in Schedule 8. The Successor Agency does not expect any revenues to pay for these enforceable obligations. 9. Procedure: If the Successor Agency identified that cash balances as of June 30, 2012 need to be retained to satisfy obligations on the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (ROPS) for the period of July 1, 2012 through June 30, 2013, obtain a copy of the final ROPS for the period of July 1, 2012 through December 31, 2012 and a copy of the final ROPS for the period January 1, 2013 through June 30, 2013. For each obligation listed on the ROPS, the Successor Agency should identify (a) any dollar amount of existing cash that was needed to satisfy the obligation, and (b) the Successor Agency's explanation as to why the Successor Agency believes that such balances were needed to satisfy the obligation. Include this schedule as an attachment to this AUP report. Finding: The Successor Agency has identified $10,029,640 in cash balances be retained to satisfy obligations on the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (ROPS) for the period of July 1, 2012 to December 31, 2012 as shown in Schedule 9. 10. Procedure: Present a schedule detailing the computation of the Balance Available for Allocation to Affected Taxing Agencies. Amounts included in the calculation should agree to the results of the procedures performed above. Agree any deductions for amounts already paid to the County Auditor-Controller on July 12, 2012 as directed by the California Department of Finance to evidence of payment. Finding: The computation of the Balance Available for Allocation to Affected Taxing Agencies is shown in Schedule 10. The computation shows that the Successor Agency has a balance of $5,965,538 available for allocation to affected taxing agencies. 8 SUCCESSOR AGENCY TO THE TUSTIN COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY ATTACHMENT A - AGREED -UPON PROCEDURES AND FINDINGS RELATED TO ALL OTHER FUNDS 11.

The 1998 Bonds will be dated as of July 1, 1998 and will bear interest (calculated on the basis of a 360 -day year comprised of twelve 30 -day months) from the Interest Payment Date next preceding the date of authentication thereof, unless (i) a Bond is authenticated on or before an Interest Payment Date and after the close of business on the preceding Record Date, in which event such Bond will bear interest from such Interest Payment Date, or (ii) a Bond is authenticated on or before the first Record Date, in which event such Bond will bear interest from July 1, 1998, or (iii) interest on any Bond is in default as of the date of authentication thereof, in which event interest thereon will be payable on each Interest Payment Date from the date to which interest has been paid in full. Interest on any of the 1998 Bonds which is not punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date shall be payable to the person in whose name the ownership of such Bond is registered on the registration books of the Trustee at the close of business on a special record date for the payment of such defaulted interest to be fixed by the Trustee. Redemption Optional Redemption of 1998Bonds. The 1998 Bonds maturing on or before December 1, 2008, are not subject to optional redemption prior to maturity. The 1998 Bonds maturing on or after December 1, 2009, shall be subject to redemption, at the option of the Agency on any date on or after December 1, 2008, as a whole or in part, by such maturities as shall be determined by the Agency, and by lot within a maturity, from any available source of funds, at the following redemption prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount of the 1998 Bonds to be redeemed) together with accrued interest thereon to the date fixed for redemption. Redemption Periods Price December 1, 2008 through November 30, 2009 101% December 1, 2009 through November 30, 2010 100 -112 December 1, 2010 and thereafter 100 The Agency shall be required to give the Trustee written notice of its intention to redeem 1998 Bonds with a designation of the maturities to be redeemed at least sixty (60), but not more than ninety (90) days, prior to the date fixed for such redemption, and shall transfer to the Trustee for deposit in the Debt Service Fund all amounts required for such redemption at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date fixed for such redemption. .Notice of Redemption. The Trustee on behalf and at the expense of the Agency shall mail (by fast class mail, postage prepaid) notice of any redemption at least thirty (30) but not more than sixty (60) days prior to the redemption date, to (i) the Owners of any Bonds designated for redemption at their respective addresses appearing on the Registration Books, and (ii) the Securities Depositories and to one or more Information Services designated in a Written Request of the Agency filed with the Trustee; but such mailing shall not be a condition precedent to such redemption and neither failure to receive any such notice nor any defect therein shall affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of such Bonds or the cessation of the accrual of interest thereon. Such notice shall state the redemption date and the redemption price, shall state that such redemption is conditioned upon the timely delivery of the redemption price by the Agency to the Trustee for deposit in the Redemption Account, shall designate the CUSIP number of the Bonds to be redeemed, shall state the individual number of each Bond to be redeemed or shall state that all Bonds between two stated numbers (both inclusive) or all of the Bonds Outstanding are to be redeemed, and shall require that such Bonds be then surrendered at the Principal Corporate Trust Office for redemption at the redemption price, giving notice also that further interest on such Bonds will not accrue from and after the redemption date. Upon the payment of the redemption price of Bonds being redeemed, each check or other transfer of funds issued for such purpose shall, to the extent practicable, bear the CUSIP number identifying, by issue and maturity, the Bonds being redeemed with the proceeds of such check or other transfer. Partial Redemption ofBonds. In the event only a portion of any Bond is called for redemption, then upon surrender of such Bond the Agency shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Owner thereof, at the expense of 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 redeemed. Effect of Redemption. From and after the date fixed for redemption, if funds available for the payment of the redemption price of and interest on the Bonds so called for redemption shall have been duly deposited with the Trustee, such Bonds so called shall cease to be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture other than the right to receive payment of the redemption price and accrued interest to the redemption date, and no interest shall accrue thereon from and after the redemption date specified in such notice. Manner of Redemption. Whenever any Bonds or portions thereof are to be selected for redemption by lot, the Trustee shall make such selection, in such manner as the Trustee shall deem appropriate, and shall notify the Agency thereof. In the event of redemption by lot of Bonds, the Trustee shall assign to each Bond then Outstanding a distinctive number for each $5,000 of the principal 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 the Indenture shall be canceled. Book-Entry-Only System unless otherwise noted, the following description of the procedures and record beeping with respect to beneficial ownership interests in the 1998 Bonds, payment ofprincipal of and interest on the 1998 Bonds to Participants or Beneficial Owners (as such terms are defined below) of the 1998 Bonds, confirmation and transfer of beneficial ownership interests in the 1998 Bonds and other Bond - related transactions by and between DTC, Participants and Beneficial Owners of the 1998 Bonds is based solely on information furnished by DTC to the Agency which the Agency believes to be reliable, but the Agency and the Underwriter do not and cannot make any independent representations concerning these matters and do not take responsibility for the accuracy and completeness thereof Neither the DTC Participants nor the Beneficial Owners should rely on the foregoing information with respect to such matters, but should instead confirm the same with DTC or the DTC Participants, as the case may be. When the 1998 Bonds are issued, ownership interests will be available to purchasers only through a book- entry -only system maintained by DTC. Beneficial ownership in the 1998 Bonds may be acquired or transferred only through book entries made on the records of DTC and its Participants. If the 1998 Bonds are taken out of the book- entry -only system and delivered to owners in physical form, as described below, the following discussion will not apply. 9 The Depository Trust Company ( "DTC "), New York, New York, will act as securities depository for the 1998 Bonds. The 1998 Bonds will be issued as fully registered securities registered in the name of Cede & Co. (DTC's partnership nominee). One fully registered 1998 Bond will be issued for each maturity of the 1998 Bonds in the aggregate principal amount of each maturity of the 1998 Bonds, and will be deposited with DTC. DTC is a limited - purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a "banking organization" within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a "clearing agency" registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC holds securities that its participants (the "Participants ") deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the settlement among Participants of securities transactions, such as transfers and pledges, in deposited securities through electronic computerized book -entry changes in Participants' accounts, thereby eliminating the need of physical movement of securities certificates. Direct Participants include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is owned by a number of its Direct Participants and by the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., the American Stock Exchange, Inc., and the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as securities brokers and dealers, banks and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly (the "Indirect Participants "). The Rules applicable to DTC and its Participants are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Purchases of 1998 Bonds under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct Participants, which will receive a credit for the 1998 Bonds on DTC's records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each 1998 Bond (the `Beneficial Owner") is in turn to be recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants' records. Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase, but Beneficial Owners are expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct or Indirect Participant through which the Beneficial Owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the 1998 Bonds are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Participants acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in 1998 Bonds, except in the event that use of the book -entry system for the 1998 Bonds is discontinued. To facilitate subsequent transfers, all 1998 Bonds deposited by Participants with DTC are registered in the name of DTC's partnership nominee, Cede & Co. The deposit of 1998 Bonds with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. effect no change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the 1998 Bonds; DTC's records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such 1998 Bonds are credited, which may or may not be the Beneficial Owners. The Participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers. Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct Participants to Indirect Participants, and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Redemption notices shall be sent to Cede & Co. If less than all of the 1998 Bonds are being redeemed, DTC's practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in such issue to be redeemed. 10 Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. will consent or vote with respect to the 1998 Bonds. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an Omnibus Proxy to the Agency as soon as possible after the Record Date. The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede & Co.'s consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to whose accounts the 1998 Bonds are credited on the Record Date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy). The Agency, the Underwriter and the Trustee do not have any responsibility or obligation to DTC Participants, to the persons for whom they act as nominees, to Beneficial Owners, or to any other person who is not shown on the registration books as being an owner of the 1998 Bonds, with respect to (i) the accuracy of any records maintained by DTC or any DTC Participants; (ii) the payment by DTC or any DTC Participant of any amount in respect of the principal of, redemption price of or interest on the 1998 Bonds; (iii) the delivery of any notice which is permitted or required to be given to registered owners under the Indenture; (iv) the selection by DTC or any DTC Participant of any person to receive payment in the event of a partial redemption of the 1998 Bonds; (v) any consent given or other action taken by DTC as registered owner; or (vi) any other matter arising with respect to the 1998 Bonds or the Indenture. The Agency, the Underwriter and the Trustee cannot and do not give any assurances that DTC, DTC Participants or others will distribute payments of principal of or interest on the 1998 Bonds paid to DTC or its nominee, as the registered owner, or any notices to the Beneficial Owners or that they will do so on a timely basis or will serve and act in a manner described in this Official Statement. The Agency and the Trustee are not responsible or liable for the failure of DTC or any DTC Participant to make any payment or give any notice to a Beneficial Owner in respect to the 1998 Bonds or any error or delay relating thereto. Payment of the principal of and interest and premium, if any, on the 1998 Bonds will be made to DTC. DTC's practice is to credit Direct Participants' accounts on a payment date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC's records unless DTC has reason to believe that it will not receive payment on such payment date. Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in "street name," and will be the responsibility of such Participant and not of DTC, the Trustee or the Agency, subject to any statutory and regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of principal, interest and any premium to DTC is the responsibility of the Trustee, disbursement of such payments to Direct Participants shall be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners shall be the responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants. DTC may discontinue providing its service as securities depository with respect to the 1998 Bonds at any time by giving reasonable notice to the Agency and the Trustee. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor securities depository is not obtained, 1998 Bond certificates are required to be printed and delivered. The Agency may decide to discontinue use of the system of book -entry transfers through DTC (or a successor securities depository). In that event, 1998 Bond certificates will be printed and delivered. The information in this section concerning DTC and DTC's book -entry system has been obtained from sources that the Agency believes to be reliable, but the Agency takes no responsibility for the accuracy thereof. Discontinuance of DTC Services In the event that (a) DTC determines not to continue to act as securities depository for the 1998 Bonds, or (b) the Agency determines that DTC shall no longer act and delivers a written certificate to the Trustee to that effect, then the Agency will discontinue the Book -Entry System with DTC for the 1998 11 Bonds. If the Agency determines to replace DTC with another qualified securities depository, the Agency will prepare or direct the preparation of a new single separate, fully registered Bond for each maturity of the 1998 Bonds registered in the name of such successor or substitute securities depository as are not inconsistent with the terms of the Indenture. If the Agency fails to identify another qualified securities depository to replace the incumbent securities depository for the 1998 Bonds, then the 1998 Bonds shall no longer be restricted to being registered in the 1998 Bond registration books in the name of the incumbent securities depository or its nominee, but shall be registered in whatever name or names the incumbent securities depository or its nominee transferring or exchanging the 1998 Bonds shall designate. In the event that the Book -Entry System is discontinued, the following provisions would also apply: (i) the 1998 Bonds will be made available in physical form, (ii) principal of, and redemption premiums if any, on the 1998 Bonds will be payable upon surrender thereof at the principal corporate trust office of the Trustee in St. Paul. Minnesota, (iii) interest on the 1998 Bonds will be payable by check mailed by first -class mail or, upon the written request of any Owner of $1,000,000 or more in aggregate principal amount of Bonds received by the Trustee on or prior to the 15th day of the calendar month immediately preceding the interest payment date (the "Record Date "), by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account with a financial institution within the limits of the United States of America designated by such owner and (iv) the 1998 Bonds will be transferable and exchangeable as provided in the Indenture. SECURITY FOR THE 1998 BONDS Tax Revenues Tax Allocations. The Redevelopment Law provides a means for financing redevelopment projects based upon an allocation of taxes collected within a project area. The taxable valuation ofa project area last equalized prior to adoption of the redevelopment plan, or base roll, is established in the base year. Thereafter, except for any period during which the taxable valuation drops below the base year level, the taxing bodies receive the taxes produced by the levy of the then - current tax rate upon the base roll. Taxes collected upon any increase in taxable valuation over the base roll (with the exception of taxes derived from increases in the tax rate imposed by taxing agencies to support new bonded indebtedness) are allocated to the redevelopment agency and may be pledged to the repayment of any indebtedness incurred in financing or refinancing redevelopment. Redevelopment agencies themselves have no authority to levy property taxes and must Iook exclusively to such allocation of taxes. Currently, such taxes are collected by the County of Orange (the "County ") and paid to the affected entities. As provided in the Redevelopment Plan for the Project Area, and pursuant to Article 6 of Chapter 6 of the Redevelopment law and section 16 of Article XVI of the State Constitution, taxes levied upon taxable property in the Project Area each year by or for the benefit of the State, cities, counties, districts or other public corporations (collectively, the "Taxing Agencies "), for fiscal years beginning after the effective date of the Redevelopment Plan, will be divided as follows: (1) To taxing agencies: The portion equal to the amount of those taxes which would have been produced by the current tax rate, applied to the taxable valuation of such property in the redevelopment project area as last equalized prior to the establishment ofthe redevelopment project, or base roll, is paid into the funds of those respective taxing agencies as taxes by or for said taxing agencies; and (2) To the Agency: The portion of said levied taxes each year in excess of the amount referred to in (1) above is allocated to, and when collected, is paid into the Special Fund of the 12 Agency; provided that portion of the taxes identified in (1) above which are attributable to a tax rate levied by a taxing agency to pay indebtedness approved by the voters of that taxing agency on or after January 1, 1989, shall be allocated to, and when collected shall be paid into, the fund of such taxing agency. Such excess is referred to as "Tax Increment Revenues." Housing Set Aside Amounts. The Redevelopment Law requires generally that, unless a specified finding is made, redevelopment agencies set aside 20% of all Tax Increment Revenues (as described above) derived from redevelopment project areas into a low and moderate income housing fund (the "Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund "), to be used for the purpose of increasing, improving and or preserving the supply of low and moderate income housing. Sections 33334.2 and 33334.6 of the Redevelopment Law dictate the low and moderate income housing set -aside requirement for the Project Area. Under the provisions of the Redevelopment Plan for the Project Area, the following limitations are imposed: (1) no loans, advances or indebtedness to finance in whole or in part projects and programs for the Project Area shall be established or incurred by the Agency beyond January 1, 2004; (2) the time Iimit of the effectiveness of the Redevelopment Plan shall not exceed 40 years from the effective date of the ordinance adopting the Redevelopment Plan (November 22, 2016); and (3) the time limit for the repayment of indebtedness shall not exceed November 22, 2026. The cumulative total yearly tax increment which may be collected shall not exceed $90 million. Through May 21, 1998, the Agency has collected a cumulative total of $31.4 million of tax increment revenues. The Redevelopment Plan established a bond debt limit of $30 million for the Project Area. These limits can only be extended by an amendment by an amendment of the Redevelopment Plan. Pledge of Tax Revenues Pursuant to the Indenture, all right, title and interest of the Agency in Tax Revenues (as defined below) payable to or receivable by the Agency under the California Constitution, the Redevelopment Law and other applicable laws, are assigned and pledged to secure the payment of principal of and interest on the Bonds. The Indenture defines the term Tax Revenues as all taxes annually allocated to the Agency with respect to the Project Area following the Closing Date pursuant to Article 6 of Chapter 6 (commencing with Section 33670) of the Law and Section 16 of Article XVI of the Constitution of the State of California and as provided in the Redevelopment Plan, including all payments, subventions and reimbursements (if any) to the Agency specifically attributable to ad valorem taxes lost by reason of tax exemptions and tax rate limitations; but excluding (a) all amounts of such taxes required to be paid by the Agency to other taxing agencies pursuant to pass - through agreements or similar tax- sharing agreements entered into pursuant to Section 33401 of the Redevelopment Law existing on the Closing Date and (b) all amounts of such taxes required to be deposited into the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund of the Agency in any Fiscal Year pursuant to Section 33334.3 of the Redevelopment Law. Except as may be otherwise provided in any Supplemental Indenture, the Agency is not obligated to transfer to the Trustee for deposit in the Special Fund in any Bond Year an amount of Tax Revenues which, together with other available amounts in the Special Fund, exceeds the amounts required in such Bond Year pursuant to the Indenture. In the event that, for any reason whatsoever, any amounts remain on deposit in the Special Fund on any September 2 after making all of the transfers theretofore required to be made to the Interest Account, the Principal Account and the Reserve Account pursuant to the Indenture and pursuant to any Supplemental Indenture, the Trustee will withdraw such amounts from the Special Fund and transfer such amounts to the Agency to be used for any lawful purpose of the Agency. The Agency has no power to levy and collect property taxes, and any property tax limitation, legislative measure, voter initiative or provision of additional sources of income to taxing agencies having 13 the effect of reducing the property tar rate or collections or the value of property subject to ad valorem taxation, could reduce the amount of Tax Revenues that would otherwise be available to pay the principal of, and interest on, the Bonds. Likewise, broadened property tar exemptions could have a similar effect. Limited Obligations THE PRINCIPAL OF AND INTEREST AND PREMIUM, IF ANY, ON THE 1998 BONDS ARE PAYABLE SOLELY FROM TAX REVENUES AND FROM AMOUNTS IN CERTAIN FUNDS AND ACCOUNTS HELD BY THE TRUSTEE UNDER AND PURSUANT TO THE INDENTURE. THE 1998 BONDS ARE NOT A DEBT OF THE CITY, THE STATE OR ANY OF THE POLITICAL SUBDIVISIONS OF THE STATE, AND NEITHER THE CITY NOR THE STATE, NOR ANY OF ITS POLITICAL SUBDIVISIONS, IS LIABLE THEREFOR, NOR IN ANY EVENT WILL THE 1998 BONDS BE PAYABLE OUT OF ANY FUNDS OR PROPERTIES OTHER THAN THE TAX REVENUES OF THE AGENCY AS SET FORTH IN THE INDENTURE. THE 1998 BONDS DO NOT CONSTITUTE AN INDEBTEDNESS WITHIN THE MEANING OF ANY CONSTITUTIONAL OR STATUTORY DEBT LIMIT OR RESTRICTION. NEITHER THE MEMBERS OF THE AGENCY NOR ANY PERSON RESPONSIBLE FOR THE EXECUTION OF THE 1998 BONDS IS LIABLE PERSONALLY FOR THE 1998 BONDS BY REASON OF THE ISSUANCE THEREOF. Reserve Account Pursuant to the Indenture, a reserve account (the "Reserve Account") has been established and is held by the Trustee in trust for the benefit of the Agency and the registered owners of the 1998 Bonds. The amount on deposit in the Reserve Account is required to be maintained at an amount equal to the Reserve Requirement. The term "Reserve Requirement" means, as of any calculation date, an amount, calculated by or on behalf of the Agency and certified to the Trustee in writing, equal to Maximum Annual Debt Service on all Outstanding Bonds and any Parity Debt. The Reserve Requirement as of the Closing Date is $1,677,412.50. In the event that the amount on deposit in the Reserve Account at any time becomes less than the Reserve Requirement, the Trustee will promptly notify the Agency of such deficiency. Promptly upon receipt of any such notice, the Agency will transfer to the Trustee an amount of available Tax Revenues sufficient to maintain the Reserve Requirement on deposit in the Reserve Account. Amounts in the Reserve Account shall be used and withdrawn by the Trustee solely for the purpose of making transfers to the Interest Account and the Principal Account established under the Indenture, in such order of priority, on any date on which Bonds are payable in the event of any deficiency at any time in any of such accounts. So long as no Event of Default (as defined in the Indenture) shall have occurred and be continuing, any amount in the Reserve Account in excess ofthe Reserve Requirement preceding each Interest Payment Date will be withdrawn from the Reserve Account by the Trustee and deposited in the Interest Account established under the Indenture on or before the Interest Payment Date. Issuance of Parity Debt In addition to the Bonds, the Agency may, by Supplemental Indenture, issue or incur Parity Debt payable from Tax Revenues on a parity with the Bonds to finance the Project in such principal amount as shall be determined by the Agency. The Agency may issue and deliver any such other Parity Debt subject to the following specific conditions precedent to the issuance and delivery of such Parity Debt: 14 and the Sinking Account (and any sinking account created for Parity Debt), based upon the principal and sinking account payments then due, if the amount then in the Reserve Account, after satisfying any deficiency in the Interest Account (and any interest account created for Parity Debt), is not sufficient to fully satisfy any then deficiencies in the Principal Account (and any principal account created for Parity Debt) and the Sinking Account (and any sinking account created for Parity Debt)), in the event of any deficiency at any time in any of such accounts or for the retirement of all the Bonds or Parity Debt then Outstanding, except that so long as the Agency is not in default under the Indenture, any amount in the Reserve Account in excess of the Reserve Requirement (as determined by the Trustee based upon a valuation of investments held in such account) shall be withdrawn from the Reserve Account semiannually on or before the Business Day preceding each March 1 and September 1 by the Trustee and deposited in the Interest Account (and any interest account created for Parity Debt). If a valuation discloses that amounts in the Reserve Account are less than the Reserve Requirement, which valuation must occur not less than semi - annually, the Agency shall immediately cause the cure thereof from any available moneys. All amounts in the Reserve Account on the Business Day preceding the final Interest Payment Date shall be withdrawn from the Reserve Account and shall be transferred either (i) to the Interest Account and the Principal Account, in such order, to the extent required to make the deposits then required to be made pursuant to the Indenture or, (ii) if the Agency shall have caused to be transferred to the Trustee an amount sufficient to make the deposits required by the Indenture, then, at the Written Request of the Agency, to the Agency for deposit by the Agency into the Debt Service Fund. The Trustee may conclusively presume that there has been no change in the Reserve Requirement unless notified in writing by the Agency. As defined in the Indenture, the term "Reserve Requirement" means, as of any calculation date, an amount, calculated by or on behalf of the Agency and certified to the Trustee in writing, equal to the least of (a) Maximum Annual Debt Service on all Outstanding Bonds and any Parity Debt, (b) 125% of average annual debt service on the Bonds and any Parity Debt, and (c) 10% of the then outstanding principal amount of the Bonds and any Parity Debt. The Reserve Requirement as of the Closing Date is $2,827,500.00. Redemption Account. On or before the Business Day preceding any date on which Bonds are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall withdraw from the Debt Service Fund any amount transferred by the Agency for deposit in the Redemption Account, such amount being the amount required to pay the principal of and premium, if any, on the Bonds or Parity Debt to be redeemed on such date. All moneys in the Redemption Account shall be used and withdrawn by the Trustee solely for the purpose of paying the principal of and premium, if any, on the Bonds or Parity Debt to be redeemed on the date set for such redemption. Interest due on Bonds or Parity Debt to be redeemed on the date set for redemption shall, if applicable, be paid from funds available therefor in the Interest Account. Issuance of Parity Debt In addition to the Bonds, the Agency may issue or incur Parity Debt to finance redevelopment projects within or of benefit to the Redevelopment Project in such principal amount as shall be determined by the Agency. The Agency may issue and deliver any such Parity Debt subject only to the following specific conditions: (a) The Agency shall be in compliance with all covenants set forth in this Indenture and all existing Parity Debt Instruments.

Definitions of certain capitalized terms used in this Official Statement are set forth in APPENDIX A—SUMMARY OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE INDENTURE. This Official Statement contains brief descriptions of the Bonds, the Indenture, the Agency and the Agency's MCAS-Tustin Redevelopment Project Area (the "Redevelopment Project"). Such descriptions do not purport to be comprehensive or definitive. All references in this Official Statement to specific documents are qualified in their entirety by reference to such documents and references to the Bonds are qualified in their entirety by reference to the form of the Bonds included in the Indenture. Copies of the Indenture and other documents described in this Official Statement may be obtained from the Agency as described under the subheading "Other Information" below. Purpose of Issuance Proceeds from the sale of the Bonds will be used to (a) finance redevelopment activities within and for the benefit of the Redevelopment Project (the "2010 Project"), (b) fund a reserve account for the Bonds, and (c) provide for the costs of issuing the Bonds. See "ESTIMATED SOURCES AND USES OF FUNDS" and "FINANCING PLAN." The City The City of Tustin (the "City") is located in Orange County (the "County"), approximately 41 miles south of the City of Los Angeles and approximately 90 miles north of the City of San Diego. Incorporated in 1927, the City operates as a general law city with a Council-Manager form of government. The Mayor is selected by the City Council from among its members. For certain information with respect to the City, see "THE CITY" and APPENDIX B--GENERAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE CITY. The Agency The Agency was established pursuant to the California Community Redevelopment Law, constituting Part 1 of Division 24 of the California Health and Safety Code (the "Redevelopment Law"), and was activated by the City Council by Ordinance No. 696-A, enacted by the City Council of the City on October 20, 1976. The Agency has the authority, and is charged generally with the responsibility, to redevelop and upgrade blighted areas of the City. The members of the City Council serve as the governing body of the Agency and exercise all rights, powers, duties and privileges of the Agency. See "THE AGENCY." The Redevelopment Project The Redevelopment Project, established in 2003, is comprised of 1,508.6 acres, including 1,504.5 acres that were part of the former Marine Corps Air Station Tustin and 4.1 acres that are located outside of the former base boundaries, at the northwest corner of Edinger Avenue and Jamboree Road. Development of the Redevelopment Project, known as Tustin Legacy, is expected to include 4,210 homes, over 10 million square feet of non - residential space including major office, retail, entertainment, business park, educational and community support facilities. Significant acreage will be dedicated to parkland and recreational open spaces which will feature a two -mile community lineal park with walking spaces, playgrounds, tranquil natural areas and sports facilities. The total assessed valuation of taxable property in the Redevelopment Project in Fiscal Year 2010 -11 is approximately $1,172,858,826, which is $1,171,744,748 greater than the adjusted assessed valuation of $1,114,078 in the base year (2002 -03). Assessed valuations in the Redevelopment Project are subject to numerous risks which could result in decreases from those reported for Fiscal Year 2010 -11. See "BONDOWNERS' RISKS." Also see "THE REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT." The Agency maintains two other redevelopment project areas, the Town Center Redevelopment Project and the South Central Redevelopment Project, which are not involved in this financing. Tax Allocation Financing The Redevelopment Law provides a means for financing redevelopment projects based upon an allocation of taxes collected within a project area. The taxable valuation of a project area last equalized prior to adoption of the redevelopment plan, or "base roll," is established and, except for any period during which the taxable valuation drops below the base year level, the taxing agencies thereafter receive the taxes produced by the levy of the then current tax rate upon the base roll. Taxes collected upon any increase in taxable valuation over the base roll (the tax increment revenues) are allocated to the applicable redevelopment agency and may be pledged by the redevelopment agency to the repayment of any indebtedness incurred in financing or refinancing a redevelopment project. Redevelopment agencies themselves have no authority to levy property taxes and must look specifically to the allocation of taxes produced as above indicated. llj► The Bonds are being issued pursuant to the Redevelopment Law, a resolution adopted by the Agency on October 19, 2010, and an Indenture of Trust, dated as of November 1, 2010 (the "Indenture"), by and between the Agency and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the "Trustee"). See "THE BONDS" and APPENDIX A— SUMMARY OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE INDENTURE. The Bonds will be issued in denominations of $5,000 each or integral multiples thereof. Interest on the Bonds will be payable on each March 1 and September 1, commencing March 1, 2011. Principal of and interest on the Bonds will be payable by the Trustee to The Depository Trust Company ( "DTC ") which will be responsible for remitting such principal and interest to the DTC participants which will in turn be responsible for remitting such principal and interest N to the beneficial owners of the Bonds. No physical distribution of the Bonds will be made to the public. See "THE BONDS —Book -Entry System." Source of Payment for the Bonds The Bonds are special obligations of the Agency and are payable from and secured by a pledge of Tax Revenues and amounts in certain funds and accounts held under the Indenture. The term "Tax Revenues" is defined in the Indenture as all taxes pledged and annually allocated within the Plan Limitations, following the Closing Date, and paid to the Agency with respect to the Redevelopment Project pursuant to Article 6 of Chapter 6 (commencing with section 33670) of the Law and section 16 of Article XVI of the Constitution of the State, or pursuant to other applicable State laws, and as provided in the Redevelopment Plan, and all payments, subventions and reimbursements, if any, to the Agency specifically attributable to ad valorem taxes lost by reason of tax exemptions and tax rate limitations, excluding all other amounts of such taxes (if any) (i) which are required to be deposited into the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund of the Agency in any Fiscal Year pursuant to section 33334.3 of the Redevelopment Law, (ii) which constitute supplemental subventions payable by the State to the Agency under and pursuant to Chapter 1.5 of Part 1 of Division 4 of Title 2 (commencing with section 16110) of the California Government Code, (iii) which constitute amounts required to be paid by the Agency pursuant to the Pass - Through Agreements, except and to the extent such amounts so payable are payable on a basis subordinate to the payment of the Notes, and (iv) which constitute amounts payable by the Agency under sections 33607.5 or 33607.7 of the Law for payments to affected taxing entities, except and to the extent such amounts so payable are payable on a basis subordinate to the payment of the Bonds. The Tax Revenues are not subject to the pledge and lien of any indebtedness of the Agency other than the Bonds and any Parity Debt hereafter issued in accordance with the Indenture, and certain other obligations which are made or are by their terms subordinate to the payment of the Bonds. See "CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY PROVISIONS AFFECTING TAX REVENUES" and "THE AGENCY — Outstanding Indebtedness of the Agency." The Bonds are not payable from, and are not secured by, any funds of the Agency other than the Tax Revenues and amounts in certain funds and accounts pledged therefore under the Indenture. See "SECURITY FOR THE BONDS." Reserve Account A reserve account (the "Reserve Account ") will be established and held under the Indenture in order to secure the payment of principal of and interest on the Bonds in an amount, as of the Closing Date, equal to the Reserve Requirement. If, on any Interest Payment Date for the Bonds, the amounts on deposit under the Indenture to pay the principal of or interest due on the Bonds are insufficient therefor, the Trustee will draw on the Reserve Account to replenish the Interest Account, the Principal Account or the Sinking Account, in that order, to make up such deficiencies. See "SECURITY FOR THE BONDS — Deposit of Amounts by Trustee — Reserve Account" and APPENDIX A— SUMMARY OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE INDENTURE for additional information on the Reserve Account. Parity Debt The Indenture provides that in addition to the Bonds, the Agency may provide for the issuance of Parity Debt secured by a lien on Tax Revenues on a parity with the Bonds to finance redevelopment activities within or of benefit to the Redevelopment Project in such principal amount as shall be determined by the Agency. The Agency may deliver Parity Debt subject to certain specific conditions set forth in the Indenture. See "SECURITY FOR THE BONDS — Issuance of Parity Debt." -3- Fiscal Consultants Report David Taussig & Associates, Newport Beach, California (the "Fiscal Consultant") has been retained to prepare a report (the "Fiscal Consultant's Report") for the Bonds.

Notice of Redemption. The Trustee on behalf and at the expense of the Agency is required to mail (by first class mail, postage prepaid) notice of any redemption at least thirty (30) but not more than sixty (60) days prior to the redemption date, to (i) the Owners of any Bonds designated for redemption at their respective addresses appearing on the Registration Books, and (ii) the Securities Depositories and to one or more Information Services designated in a Written Request of the Agency filed with the Trustee; but such mailing is not a condition precedent to such redemption and neither failure to receive any such notice nor any defect therein will affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of such Bonds or the cessation of the accrual of interest thereon. Such notice must state the redemption date and the redemption price, must designate the CUSIP number of the Bonds to be redeemed, must state the individual number of each Bond to be redeemed or must state that all Bonds between two stated numbers (both inclusive) or all of the Bonds Outstanding are to be redeemed, and must require that such Bonds be then surrendered at the Principal Corporate Trust Office for redemption at the redemption price, giving notice also that further interest on such Bonds will not accrue from and after the redemption date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of any optional redemption of the Bonds, the notice of redemption shall state that the redemption is conditioned upon receipt by the Trustee of sufficient moneys to redeem the Bonds on the anticipated redemption date, and that the optional redemption shall not occur if, by no later than the scheduled redemption date, sufficient moneys to redeem the Bonds have not been deposited with the Trustee. In the event that the Trustee does not receive sufficient funds by the scheduled optional redemption date to so redeem the Bonds to be optionally redeemed, such event shall not constitute and Event of Default, the Trustee shall send written notice to the owners of the Bonds, to the Securities Depositories and to one or more of the Information Services to the effect that the redemption did not occur as anticipated, and the Bonds for which notice of optional redemption was given shall remain Outstanding for all purposes of the Indenture. Partial Redemption of Bonds. In the event only a portion of any Bond is called for redemption, then upon surrender of such Bond the Agency is required to execute and the Trustee is required to authenticate and deliver to the Owner thereof, at the expense of 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 redeemed. a U1 Effect of Redemption. From and after the date fixed for redemption, if funds available for the payment of the redemption price of and interest on the Bonds so called for redemption have been duly deposited with the Trustee, such Bonds so called shall cease to be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture other than the right to receive payment of the redemption price and accrued interest to the redemption date, and no interest shall accrue thereon from and after the redemption date specified in such notice. Manner of Redemption. Whenever any Bonds or portions thereof are to be selected for redemption by lot, the Trustee shall make such selection, in such manner as the Trustee shall deem appropriate, and shall notify the Agency thereof. In the event of redemption by lot of Bonds, the Trustee shall assign to each Bond then Outstanding a distinctive number for each $5,000 of the principal 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 shall be canceled. Book-Entry System The Bonds will be subject to a book-entry system of registration, transfer and payment and each Bond will initially be registered in the name of Cede & Co, as nominee of The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York ("DTC"). As part of such book-entry system, DTC has been appointed securities depository for the Bonds, and registered ownership may not thereafter be transferred except as provided in the Indenture. The Bonds are being delivered in book-entry form only. Purchasers will not receive securities certificates representing their interests in the Bonds. Rather, in accordance with the book-entry system, purchasers of the Bonds will have beneficial ownership interest in the purchased Bonds through DTC Participants (as hereinafter defined). For more information concerning the book-entry system, see APPENDIX G—BOOK-ENTRY ONLY SYSTEM. TAX ALLOCATION FINANCING General Tax Allocations. The Redevelopment Law provides a means for financing redevelopment projects based upon an allocation of taxes collected within a project area. The taxable valuation of a project area last equalized prior to adoption of the redevelopment plan for the project area, or base roll, is established as of the date of adoption of the redevelopment plan. Thereafter, except for any period during which the taxable valuation drops below the base year level, the taxing bodies receive the taxes produced by the levy of the then current tax rate upon the base roll. Taxes collected upon any increase in taxable valuation over the base roll (with the exception of taxes derived from increases in the tax rate imposed by Taxing Agencies (hereinafter defined) to support new bonded indebtedness) (the "Tax Increment Revenues") are allocated to the redevelopment agency and may be pledged to the repayment of any indebtedness incurred in financing or refinancing redevelopment. Redevelopment agencies themselves have no authority to levy property taxes and must look exclusively to such allocation of taxes. Allocation of Taxes As provided in the redevelopment plan for the project area, and pursuant to Article 6 of Chapter 6 of the Redevelopment Law and Section 16 of Article XVI of the State Constitution, taxes levied upon taxable property in the project area each year by or for the benefit of the State, -11- cities, counties, districts or other public corporations (collectively, the "Taxing Agencies"), for fiscal years beginning after the effective date of the redevelopment plan, will be divided as follows: (1) To Taxing Agencies: The portion equal to the amount of those taxes which would have been produced by the then current tax rate, applied to the taxable valuation of such property in the redevelopment project area as last equalized prior to the establishment of the redevelopment project, or base roll, is paid into the funds of those respective Taxing Agencies as taxes by or for said Taxing Agencies; and (2) To the Agency: The portion of said levied taxes each year in excess of the amount referred to in (1) above is allocated to, and when collected, is paid to the agency; provided that the portion of the tax increment revenues which are attributable to a tax rate levied by a taxing agency to pay indebtedness approved by the voters of that taxing agency on or after January 1, 1989, shall be allocated to, and when collected shall be paid into, the fund of such taxing agency. Housing Set-Aside Amounts. Sections 33334.2 and 33334.3 of the Redevelopment Law require each agency to set aside not less than 20% of all Tax Increment Revenues in a low and moderate income housing fund (the "Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund") to be expended for authorized low and moderate income housing purposes (the "Housing Set-Aside Amount"). Amounts on deposit in the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund may also be applied to pay debt service on bonds, loans or advances used to provide financing for such low and moderate income housing purposes. Under the Redevelopment Law, the Housing Set- Aside Amount could be reduced or eliminated if the agency finds that (1) no need exists in the community to improve or increase the supply of low and moderate income housing, (2) that some stated percentage less than 20% of the tax increment is sufficient to meet the housing need or (3) that other substantial efforts, including the obligation of funds from certain local, state or federal sources for low and moderate income housing, or equivalent impact are being provided for in the community. See "LIMITATIONS ON TAX REVENUES." The Agency has made no such finding and is, therefore, obligated to make such set-aside. No portion of the proceeds of the Bonds is expected to be deposited in the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund. The Agency is currently setting aside 20 percent of the Redevelopment Project's tax increment revenue and the Fiscal Consultant's projections assume that the Agency will continue to do so for the duration of the plan life of the Redevelopment Project. Tax Sharing Agreements. Pursuant to section 33607.5 of the Redevelopment Law, the Agency is required to implement statutory tax sharing with all taxing entities levying taxes upon property within the Redevelopment Project. See "THE REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT— Tax Sharing Agreements." SECURITY FOR THE BONDS Pledge of Tax Revenues The Bonds and all payments required of the Agency under the Indenture are not general obligations of the Agency but are limited special obligations of the Agency and are secured by an irrevocable pledge of, and are payable as to principal and interest, from Tax Revenues and other funds as hereinafter described, including similar revenues derived from any redevelopment project that may be created by the City in the future. The Bonds and interest thereon are not a debt of the City, the State or any of its political subdivisions, and neither the City, the State nor any of its political subdivisions is liable on them. In no event shall the Bonds or interest thereon be payable out of any funds or properties other than those of the Agency as set forth in the Indenture. The Bonds do not constitute an indebtedness within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory debt limitation or restriction. Neither the members of the Agency nor any persons executing the Bonds are liable personally on the Bonds by reason of their issuance. The Agency has no independent power to levy and collect property taxes, and any property tax limitation, legislative measure, voter initiative or provision of additional sources of income to taxing agencies having the effect of reducing the property tax rate or collections, could reduce the amount of Tax Revenues that would otherwise be available to pay the principal of, and interest on, the Bonds. Likewise, broadened property tax exemptions could have a similar effect. See "BONDOWNERS' FACTORS." Security of Bonds; Equal Security The Bonds and any Parity Debt issued in accordance with the Indenture are secured by a pledge of, security interest in and a first and exclusive lien on all of the Tax Revenues, and a first and exclusive pledge of, security interest in and lien upon all of the moneys in the Special Fund and the Debt Service Fund, without preference or priority for series, issue, number, dated date, sale date, date of execution or date of delivery. Except for the Tax Revenues and such other moneys on deposit in the funds and accounts established under the Indenture, no funds or properties of the Agency shall be pledged to, or otherwise liable for, the payment of principal of or interest or redemption premium (if any) on the Bonds. In consideration of the acceptance of the Bonds by those who shall hold the same from time to time, the Indenture shall be deemed to be and shall constitute a contract between the Agency and the Owners from time to time of the Bonds, and the covenants and agreements set forth in the Indenture to be performed on behalf of the Agency shall be for the equal and proportionate benefit, security and protection of all Owners of the Bonds without preference, priority or distinction as to security or otherwise of any of the Bonds over any of the others by reason of the number or date thereof or the time of sale, execution and delivery thereof, or otherwise for any cause whatsoever, except as expressly provided therein. Special Fund; Deposit of Tax Revenues The Indenture establishes a special fund to be known as the "Special Fund," which shall be held by the Agency. The Agency shall transfer all of the Tax Revenues received in any Bond Year to the Special Fund promptly upon receipt thereof by the Agency, until such time during such Bond Year as the amounts on deposit in the Special Fund equal the aggregate amounts required to be transferred to the Trustee for deposit into the Interest Account, the Principal Account, the Sinking Account and the Reserve Account in such Bond Year. All Tax Revenues received by the Agency during any Bond Year in excess of the amount required to be deposited in the Special Fund during such Bond Year, including delinquent amounts if any, shall be released from the pledge and lien under the Indenture for the security of the Bonds and may be applied by the Agency for any lawful purposes of the Agency, including but not limited to the payment of Subordinate Debt, or the payment of any amounts due and owing to the United States of America. Prior to the payment in full of the principal of and interest and redemption premium (if any) on the Bonds and the payment in full of all other amounts payable under the Indenture and under any Parity Debt Instrument, the Agency shall not have any beneficial right or interest in the moneys on deposit in the Special Fund, except as may be provided in the Indenture and in any Parity Debt Instrument. Deposit of Amounts by Trustee There is established in the Indenture a trust fund to be known as the Debt Service Fund, which shall be held by the Trustee in trust. Moneys in the Special Fund shall be transferred by -13- the Agency to the Trustee in the following amounts, at the following times, and deposited by the Trustee in the following respective special accounts, which are established in the Debt Service Fund, and in the following order of priority, provided, however, that if amounts to be so deposited are insufficient to fund the full amount required for the Bonds and any Parity Debt, such amounts shall be allocated pro rata among the Bonds and any Parity Debt: Interest Account. On or before the fifth Business Day preceding each Interest Payment Date, the Agency shall withdraw from the Special Fund and transfer to the Trustee, for deposit in the Interest Account an amount which when added to the amount contained in the Interest Account on that date, will be equal to the aggregate amount of the interest becoming due and payable on the Outstanding Bonds on such Interest Payment Date. No 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 succeeding Interest Payment Date upon all of the Outstanding Bonds and any Parity Debt. All moneys in the Interest Account shall be used and withdrawn by the Trustee solely for the purpose of paying the interest on the Bonds as it shall become due and payable (including accrued interest on any Bonds redeemed or purchased prior to maturity pursuant to the Indenture). Principal Account; Sinking Account. On or before the fifth Business Day preceding each principal payment date in each year, or date on which any Outstanding Term Bonds become subject to mandatory Sinking Account redemption, beginning September 1, 2011, the Agency shall withdraw from the Special Fund and transfer to the Trustee for deposit (i) in the Principal Account an amount which, when added to the amount then contained in the Principal Account, will be equal to the principal becoming due and payable on the Outstanding Bonds on the next September 1, and (ii) in the Sinking Account an amount which, when added to the amount then contained in the Sinking Account, will be equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Term Bonds subject to mandatory Sinking Account redemption on such date. In the event that the amount then in the Special Fund, following the transfer described in the preceding paragraph, is not sufficient to fully fund the amounts described in the preceding clauses (i) and (ii), the Trustee shall deposit the available funds in the Special Fund pro rata to the Principal Account and the Sinking Account, based on the aggregate principal and Sinking Account payments then due on the Bonds. No such transfer and deposit need be made to the Principal Account if the amount contained therein is at least equal to the principal or sinking fund installment to become due on the next September 1 on all of the Outstanding Bonds. All moneys in the Principal Account shall be used and withdrawn by the Trustee solely for the purpose of paying the principal of the Bonds as it shall become due and payable. Reserve Account. In the event that the Trustee has actual knowledge that the amount on deposit in the Reserve Account at any time is less than the Reserve Requirement, the Trustee shall promptly notify the Agency of such fact. Promptly upon receipt of any such notice, the Agency shall transfer to the Trustee, Tax Revenues sufficient to maintain the Reserve Requirement on deposit in the Reserve Account. If there shall then not be sufficient Tax Revenues to transfer an amount sufficient to maintain the Reserve Requirement on deposit in the Reserve Account, the Agency shall be obligated to continue making transfers as Tax Revenues become available in the Special Fund until there is an amount sufficient to maintain the Reserve Requirement on deposit in the Reserve Account. No such transfer and deposit need be made to the Reserve Account so long as there shall be on deposit therein a sum at least equal to the Reserve Requirement. Amounts in the Reserve Account shall be used and withdrawn by the Trustee solely for the purpose of making transfers to (i) the Interest Account (and any interest account created for Parity Debt), and (ii) the Principal Account (and any principal account created for Parity Debt) and the Sinking Account (and any sinking account created for Parity Debt) in such order of priority (pro rata to the Principal Account (and any principal account created for Parity Debt) -14-
