DOCSLA1:320644.3 THE PLAN OF FINANCING The Series D Bonds are being issued under the Indenture in order to purchase the Group Three Bonds. On February 29, 1996, pursuant to the Original 95-2 Agreement, the City issued $41,500,000 aggregate principal amount of City' of Tustin Limited Obligation Improvement Bonds, Reassessment District No. 95-2 (Tustin Ranch), Series A (the "Adjustable Assessment Bonds (95- 2)") as Adjustable Rate Bonds (as defined in the Original 95-2 Agreement). Under the Original 95- 2 Agreement, a portion of the Adjustable Assessment Bonds (95-2) are required to be convened to Fixed Rate Bonds when titles are transferred by The Irvine Company to third parties with respect to properties upon which the reassessments securing such Adjustable Assessment Bonds (95-2) are levied. On the delivery date, $4,322,504.68 aggregate principal amount of the Adjustable Assessment Bonds (95-2) are being purchased with the proceeds of the Group Three Bonds. The Group Three Bonds consist of two components: the Group Three Fixed Rate Bonds and the Series Three Bonds (each defined below). As the Adjustable Assessment Bonds (95-2) are purchased, such Adjustable Assessment Bonds will be canceled and reissued as Fixed Rate Bonds designated as the "Group Three Fixed Rate Bonds." Additionally, the 95-2 Fiscal Agent Agreement provides that, in connection with the conversion (or purchase and reissuance) of each group of Adjustable AsseSsment Bonds (95-2) to Fixed Rate Bonds, the City may, subject to the requirements of the Act and upon compliance with the provisions of the 95-2 Fiscal Agent Agreement, establish one or more series of bonds by supplemental agreement. In connection with the reissuance of the Group Three Fixed Rate Bonds, the City is issuing an additional series of bonds in the aggregate principal amount of $677,495.32', designated as the "Series Three Bonds," as Related Additional Bonds to the Group Three Fixed Rate Bonds. The 95-2 Fiscal Agent Agreement defines "Related Additional Bonds" as, with respect to a group of Fixed Rate Bonds, the additional series of bonds which is being issued in connection with the conversion of such group of Fixed Rate Bonds and which is designated by the City to represent the same parcels as such additional Series of Bonds. As such, both the Group Three Fixed Rate Bonds and the Series Three Bonds are designated to represent the Group Three Designated Parcels pursuant to the 95-2 Fiscal Agent Agreement. In order to provide for the authentication and delivery of the Group Three Bonds, and to establish and declare the terms and conditions upon which the Group Three Bonds are issued and secured, the City and the 95-2 Fiscal Agent are entering into the Fourth Supplemental 95-2 Agreement.

The proceeds of any such redemption of the Group Three Bonds will be applied by the Trustee to pay the Redemption Price of Series D Bonds on the date of such redemption of the Group Three Bonds.

Transfers and Exchange So long as the Series D Bonds remain in book-entry, transfer and exchange of any of the Series D Bonds will be accomplished in accordance with the provisions of such book-entry system. In the event of termination of such book-entry system with respect to the Series D Bonds, then any Series D Bond may be transferred upon the Registration Books by the person in whose name it is registered, in person or by his duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of such Series D Bond for cancellation, accompanied by delivery of a written instrument of transfer, duly executed in a form acceptable' to the Trustee. Whenever any Series D Bond or Bonds are surrendered fOr transfer, the Authority will execute and the Trustee will authenticate and deliver a new Series D Bond or Bonds for a like aggregate principal amount of the same series and maturity, in any authorized denomination. The Trustee will require the Series D Bond Owner requesting such transfer to pay any tax or other governmental charge required to be paid with respect to such transfer. The Bonds may be exchanged at 'the Office of the Trustee for a like aggregate principal amount of Series D Bonds of the same series and maturity, of other authorized denominations. The - 9 DOCSLA 1:320644.3 Trustee will require the. payment by the Series D Bond Owner requesting such exchange of any tax or other governmental charge required to be paid with respect to such exchange. The Trustee will not be obligated to make any transfer or exchange of Series D Bonds during the period established by the Trustee for the selection of Series D Bonds for redemption, or with respect to any Series D Bonds selected for redemption. Book-Entry System The description that follows of the procedures and recordkeeping with respect to beneficial ownership interests in the Series D Bonds, payment of principal of and interest on the Series D Bonds to Participants or Beneficial Owners, confirmation and transfer of beneficial ownership interests in the Series D Bonds, and other Bonds-related transactions by and between DTC, Participants and Beneficial Owners, is based on information furnished by DTC which the Authority and the City each believes to be reliable, but the Authority and the City take no' responsibility for the completeness or accuracy thereof The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"), New York, NY, will act as securities depository for the Series D Bonds. The Series D Bonds will be issued as fully registered securities registered in the name of Cede & Co. (DTC's partnership nominee) or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. One fully registered Series D Bond will be issued for each maturity of the Series D Bonds, in the aggregate principal amount of such maturity, 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 "cleating 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 for 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 ("Indirect Participants"). The rules applicable to DTC and its Participants are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Purchases of Series D Bonds under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct Participants, which will receive a credit for the Series D Bonds on DTC's records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each Series D Bond ("Beneficial Owner") is in turn to be recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants' records. Beneficial Owners will not - 10 DOCSLA 1:320644.3 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 Series D 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 Series D Bonds, except in the event that use of the book-entry system for the Series D Bonds is discontinued. To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Series D Bonds deposited by Participants with DTC are registered in the name of DTC's partnership nominee, Cede & Co., or such other name as requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of Series D Bonds with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. or such other DTC nominee do not effect any changes in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the Series D Bonds; DTC's records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such Series D 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 which may be in effect from time to time. Beneficial Owners of the Series D Bonds may wish to take certain steps to augment the transmission to them of notices of significant events with respect to the Series D Bonds, such as redemptions, tenders, defaults, and proposed amendments to the bond documents. Beneficial Owners of Series D Bonds may wish to ascertain that the nominee holding the Series D Bonds for their benefit has agreed to obtain and transmit notice to Beneficial Owners, or in the alternative, Beneficial Owners may wish to provide their names and addresses to the registrar and request that copies' of notices be pro.vided directly to them. Redemption notices shall be sent to DTC. If less than all of the bonds within an issue are being redeemed, DTC's practice is to determine by lot the amount of interest of each Direct Participant in such issue to be redeemed. Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (nor such other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to Series D Bonds. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an Omnibus Proxy to an issuer 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 Series D Bonds are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy). Principal, mandatory sinking fund payments and interest payments on the Series D Bonds will be made to Cede & Co. or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. DTC's practice is to credit Direct Participants' accounts on payment - 11 DOCSkA 1:320644.3 dates in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC's records unless DTC has reason to believe that it will not receive payment on the date payable. 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 (nor its nominee), the Trustee or the Authority, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of principal and interest to Cede & Co. (or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC) is the responsibility of the Trustee or the Authority, disbursement of such payments to Direct Participants is the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to Beneficial Owners is the responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants. NONE OF THE AUTHORITY, THE CITY NOR THE TRUSTEE WILL HAVE ANY RESPONSIBILITY OR OBLIGATION TO DTC PARTICIPANTS, INDIRECT PARTICIPANTS OR BENEFICIAL OWNERS WITH RESPECT TO THE PAYMENTS OR THE PROVIDING OF NOTICE TO DTC PARTICIPANTS, INDIRECT PARTICIPANTS OR BENEFICIAL OWNERS OR THE SELECTION OF BONDS FOR REDEMPTION. The Authority, the City and the Underwriter cannot and do not give any assurances that DTC, the Participants or others will distribute payments of principal, interest or premium, if any, with' respect to the Series D .Bonds paid to DTC or its nominee as the registered owner, or will distribute any redemption notices or other notices, to the Beneficial Owners, or that they will do so on a timelY basis or will serve 'and act in the manner described in this Official Statement. The Authority, the City and the Underwriter are not responsible or liable for the failure of DTC or any Participant to make any payment or give any notice to a Beneficial Owner with respect to the Series D Bonds or an error or delay relating thereto. DTC management is aware that some computer applications, systems, and the like for processing data ("Systems") that are dependent upon calendar dates, including dates before, on, and after January 1, 2000, may encounter "Year 2000 problems." DTC has informed its Participants and other members of the financial community (the "Industry") that it has developed and is implementing a program so that its Systems, as the same relate to the timely payment of distributions (including principal and income payments) to bondholders, book-entry deliveries, and settlement of trades within DTC ("DTC Services"), continue to function appropriately. This program includes a technical assessment and a remediation plan, each of which is complete. Additionally, DTC's plans include a testing phase, which is expected to be completed within appropriate time frames. However, DTC's ability to perform properly its services is also dependent upon other parties, including but not limited to issuers and their agents, as well as third party vendors from whom DTC licenses software and hardware, and third party vendors on whom DTC relies for information or the provision of services, including telecommunication and electrical utility service providers, among others. DTC has informed the Industry that it is contacting (and will - 12 DOCSLA1:320644.3 continue to contact) third party vendors from whom DTC acquires services to: (i) impress upon them the importance of such services being Year 2000 compliant, and (ii) determine the extent of their efforts for Year 2000 remediation (and, as appropriate, testing) of their services. In addition, DTC is in the process of developing such contingency plans, as it deems appropriate. The foregoing description of the procedures and record-keeping with respect to beneficial ownership interests in the Series D Bonds, payment of principal, interest and other payments on the Series D Bonds to DTC Participants or Beneficial Owners, confirmation and transfer of beneficial ownership interests in such Series D Bonds, other related transactions by and between DTC, the DTC Participants and the Beneficial Owners and DTC's Year 2000 compliance is based solely on information provided by DTC. Accordingly, no representations can be made concerning these matters and 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. DTC (or a successor securities depository) may discontinue providing its services as securities depository with respect to the Series D Bonds at any time by giving reasonable notice to the Authority. The Authority, in 'its sole discretion and without the consent of any other person, may terminate the services of DTC (or a successor securities depository) with respect to the Series D Bonds. The Authority and the City undertake no obligation to investigate matters that would enable the Authority and the City to make such a determination. In the event that the book-entry system is discontinued as described above, Series D Bonds will be printed and delivered and the requirements of the Indenture will apply. DOCSLA 1:320644.3 13 Debt Service Schedule The schedule of annual debt service payments for the Series D Bonds is as follows: Annual Year Debt (September 2) Principal Interest Service 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 Total: General SECURITY FOR THE BONDS The Bonds, including the Series D Bonds, are limited obligations of the Authority payable solely from the Revenues and Other assets pledged therefor under the Indenture. Subject only to the provisions of the Indenture permitting the application thereof for the purposes and on the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture, all of the Revenues and any other amounts held in any fund or account established pursuant to the Indenture are pledged by the Authority to secure payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds. Said pledge constitutes a first lien on and security interest in such assets. Revenues are defined in the Indenture to mean all amounts derived from or with respect to the Assessment Bonds, which, as of the date of delivery of the Series D Bonds, consist of the Fixed Rate Assessment Bonds, including but not limited to all payments of principal thereof, premium, if any, and interest thereon. Pursuant to the Indenture, the Authority transfers in trust and assigns to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Owners from time to time of the Bonds, all of the Revenues and all of the fight, title and interest of the Authority in the Assessment Bonds. Under the Indenture, the Trustee is entitled to and will collect and receive all of the Revenues, and any Revenues collected or received by the - 14 DOCSLA1:320644.3 Authority will be deemed to be held, and to have been collected or received, by the Authority and will forthwith be paid by the Authority to the Trustee. The Trustee also will be entitled to and may take all steps, actions and proceedings reasonably necessary in its judgment to enforce, either jointly with the Authority or separately, all of the fights of the Authority and all of the obligations of the City under and with respect to the Assessment Bonds. In accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, the Trustee is the re~stered Owner of the Prior Fixed Rate Assessment Bonds and, upon the issuance thereof, will be the registered Owner of the Group Three Bonds and will therefore receive from the Fiscal Agent the payments of the principal of and the premiums, if any, and interest on the Assessment Bonds. Pursuant to the Act, the City is required annually to transmit to the Auditor of the County of Orange (the "County") the respective amounts of individual Fixed Rate Reassessment installments on all unpaid Fixed Rate Reassessments, the sum of which individual Fixed Rate Reassessment installments is sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Fixed Rate Assessment Bonds as such principal and interest become due and payable. Said Fixed Rate Reassessment installments are then billed on the regular County property tax bills and are remitted to the City in accordance with established procedures for such remittances. Assuming timely payment by the respective property owners of the obligations (including the Fixed Rate Reassessment installments) billed on the regular County property tax bills, and further assuming timely remittance by the County to the City of the amount of such Fixed Rate Reassessment installments thereby collected, the City will have sufficient funds fi'om the Fixed Rate Reassessment installments to make timely payment to the Fiscal Agent of each March 2 interest payment and each September 2 principal and interest payment on the Fixed Rate Assessment Bonds, as the same become due and Payable. See "SPECIAL RISK FACTORS" herein for a discussion of factors which could affect the collection of Fixed Rate Reassessment installments. THE BONDS ARE LIMITED OBLIGATIONS OF THE AUTHORITY, PAYABLE SOLELY FROM THE REVENUES AND OTHER ASSETS PLEDGED THEREFOR UNDER THE INDENTURE. THE BONDS DO NOT CONSTITUTE A DEBT OR LIABILITY OF THE CITY OR OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, OR ANY POLITICAL SUBDIVISION THEREOF, AND NEITHER THE FAITH AND CREDIT NOR THE TAXING POWER OF THE CITY OR THE STATE, OR ANY POLITICAL SUBDIVISION THEREOF, PLEDGED TO THE PAYMENT OF THE PRINCIPAL OF OR INTEREST ON THE BONDS. Payments of Assessment Bonds The Assessment Bonds (95-1) are secured by the unpaid 95-1 Reassessments 'levied upon private property within Reassessment District No. 95-1. Such unpaid 95-1 Reassessments (together with interest thereon) and moneys in the Redemption Fund established for the Assessment Bonds (95-1) (the "Redemption Fund (95-1)") established under the 95-1 Fiscal Agent Agreement constitute a trust fund for the redemption and payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and DOCSLA1:320644.3 15 interest on the Assessment Bonds (95-1). Principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Assessment Bonds (95-1) are payable exclusively out of the Redemption Fund (95-1). The Group One Bonds are secured by the unpaid Group One Reassessment levied upon private property within the Group One Designated Parcels. Such unpaid Group One Reassessments (together with interest thereon) and moneys in the Redemption Accounts established for the Group One Bonds (the "Redemption Account (Group One)") within the Redemption Fund established under the 95-2 Fiscal Agent Agreement (the "Redemption Fund (95-2)"), constitute a trust fund for the redemption and payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Group One Bonds. Principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Group One Bonds are payable exclusively out of the Redemption Account (Group One). The Group Two Bonds are secured by the unpaid Group Two Reassessment levied upon private property within the Group Two Designated Parcels. Such unpaid Group Two Reassessments (together with interest thereon) and moneys in the Redemption' Accounts established for the Group Two Bonds (the "Redemption Account (Group Two)") within the Redemption Fund, constitute a trust fund for the redemption and payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Group Two Bonds. Principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Group Two Bonds are payable exclusively out of the Redemption Account (Group Two). The Group Three Bonds are secured by the unpaid Group Three Reassessment levied upon private property within the Group Three Designated Parcels. Such unpaid Group Three Reassessments (together with interest thereon) and moneys in the Redemption Accounts established for the Group Three Bonds (the "Redemption Account (Group Three)") within the Redemption Fund, constitute a trust fund for the redemption and payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Group Three Bonds. Principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Group Three Bonds are payable exclusively out of the Redemption Account (Group Three). THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE CITY UNDER THE ASSESSMENT BONDS ARE NOT GENERAL OBLIGATIONS OF THE CITY, BUT ARE LIMITED OBLIGATIONS, PAYABLE SOLELY FROM THE FIXED RATE REASSESSMENTS AND THE OTHER ASSETS PLEDGED THEREFOR UNDER THE RESPECTIVE FISCAL AGENT AGREEMENTS. NEITHER THE FAITH AND CREDIT NOR THE TAXING POWER OF THE CITY OR THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, OR ANY POLITICAL SUBDIVISION THEREOF, IS PLEDGED TO THE PAYMENT OF THE FIXED RATE ASSESSMENT BONDS. The Fixed Rate Reassessments levied in the Fixed Rate Subject Area and each installment thereof and any interest 'and penalties thereon constitute liens against the parcels of land on which they are levied until the same are paid. The liens imposed in the Fixed Rate Subject Area are subordinate to fixed special assessment liens previously imposed upon the same property but have priority over existing and future private liens and over any fixed special assessment liens which hereafter be created against the property. Such liens are co-equal to and independent of the lien for general property taxes and special taxes. While there are no prior special assessment liens on any of the parcels of land in the Fixed Rate Subject Area, there are liens for special taxes and the - 16 DOCSLA 1:320644.3 rectm-ing lien for general property taxes. See "THE FIXED RATE SUBJECT AREA - Direct and Overlapping Debt" herein. ALTHOUGH THE UNPAID FIXED RATE REASSESSMENTS CONSTITUTE LIENS ON THE PARCELS OF LAND ASSESSED, THEY DO NOT CONSTITUTE A PERSONAL INDEBTEDNESS OF THE RESPECTIVE PROPERTY OWNERS. THERE IS NO ASSURANCE THAT PRESENT PROPERTY OWNERS WILL REMAIN THE PROPERTY OWNERS, THAT PROPERTY OWNERS WILL BE FINANCIALLY ABLE TO PAY THEIR FIXED REASSESSMENTS, OR THAT PROPERTY OWNERS V~rlLL IN FACT PAY SUCH FIXED REASSESSMENTS EVEN THOUGH FINANCIALLY ABLE TO DO SO. Under provisions of the Act, Fixed Rate Reassessment installments sufficient to meet annual payments of principal of and interest on the Fixed Rate Assessment Bonds are to be collected on the regular property tax bills sent by the County Tax Collector to owners of the parcels of land against which there are unpaid Fixed Rate Reassessments. Annual installments of 95-1 Reassessments are to be paid into the Redemption Fund (95-1), which will be held by the 95-1 Fiscal Agent and used to pay the principal of and interest on the Assessment Bonds (95-1) as they become due. Annual installments of the Group One Reassessments, the Group Two Reassessments and of the Group Three Reassessments are to be paid into the Redemption Account (Group One), the Redemption Account (Group Two) and the Redemption Account (Group Three) respectively, which will be held by the 95-2 Fiscal Agent and used to pay the principal of and interest on the Group One Bonds, the Group Two Bonds and the Group Three Bonds respectively, as they become due. The installment billed against each parcel of land within Reassessment District No. 95-1, each year represents a pro-rata share of the total principal and interest coming due on all of the Assessment Bonds (95-1) that year. The amount billed against each parcel of land within Reassessment District No. 95-1 is based on the percentage which the unpaid 95-1 Reassessment against the parcel bears to the total of unpaid 95-1 Reassessments within Reassessment District No. 95-1, plus an administrative charge of the City. The failure of a property owner to pay an annual 95-1 Reassessment installment will not result in an increase in 95-1 Reassessment installments against other property in the 95-1 Reassessment District. The installment billed against each parcel of land within the Group One Designated Parcels each year represents a pro-rata share of the total principal and interest coming due on all of the Group One Bonds that year. The amount billed against each parcel of land within the Group One Designated Parcels is based on the percentage which the unpaid Group One Reassessments against the parcel bears to the total of unpaid Group One Reassessment within Group One Designated Parcels, plus an administrative charge of the City. The failure of a property owner to pay an annual Group One Reassessment installment will not result in an increase in Group One Reassessment installments against other property in the Group One Designated Parcels. The installment billed against each parcel of land within the Group Two Designated Parcels each year represents a pro-rata share of the total principal and interest coming due on all of the - 17 DOCSLA 1:320644.3 Group Two Bonds that year. The amount billed against each parcel of land within the Group Two Designated Parcels is based on the percentage which the unpaid Group Two Reassessments against the parcel bears to the total of unpaid Group Two Reassessment within Group Two Designated Parcels, plus an administrative charge of the City. The failure of a property owner to pay an annual Group Two Reassessment installment will not result in an increase in Group Two Reassessment installments against other property in the Group Two Designated Parcels. The installment billed against each parcel of land within the Group Three Designated Parcels each year represents a pro-rata share of the total principal and interest coming due on all of the Group Three Bonds that year. The amount billed against each parcel of land within the Group Three Designated Parcels is based on the percentage which the unpaid Group Three Reassessments against the parcel bears to. the total of unpaid Group Three Reassessment within Group Three Designated Parcels, plus an administrative charge of the City. The failure of a property owner to pay an annual Group Three Reassessment installment will not result in an increase in Group Three Reassessment installments against other property in the Group Three Designated Parcels. In the event of delinquencies of a certain amount respecting any installment of an unpaid Fixed Rate Reassessment, and with respect to all delinquencies in certain circumstances, as prescribed in each Fiscal Agent Agreement, the City has covenanted to institute superior court foreclosure proceedings to enforce payment of such delinquencies. See "Covenant for Superior Court Foreclosure" herein. Debt Service Reserves Pursuant to the 95-1 Fiscal Agent Agreement, a Reserve Fund has been established for the Assessment Bonds (95-1) (the "Reserve Fund (95-1)") in the amount of the Reserve Requirement (as defined in the 95-1 Fiscal Agent Agreement), presently $[3,114,000].

If any Group One Reassessment is prepaid before final maturity of the Group One Bonds, the City is authorized by the 95-2 Fiscal Agent Agreement to reduce the amount in Reserve Account (Group One) and transfer to the Prepayment Account (Group One) within the Redemption Fund (95-2) an amount in the proportion in which the Group One Reassessment prepaid bears to the total original unpaid Group One Reassessments. Pursuant to the 95-2 Fiscal Agent Agreement, a Reserve Account (Group Two) has been established for the Group Two Bonds in the amount of the Reserve Requirement (Group Two) (as defined in the Third Supplemental 95-2 Agreement), presently $[392,191.25]. Transfers will be made pursuant to the 95-2 Fiscal Agent Agreement from the Reserve Account (Group Two) to the Redemption Account (Group Two) in the event of a deficiency in the Redemption Account (Group Two). The amount so advanced will be reimbursed to the Reserve Account (Group Two) from the proceeds of redemption or sale of the parcel for which payment or reimbursement of any delinquent Group Two Reassessment was made from the Reserve Account (Group Two). If any Group Two Reassessment is prepaid before final maturity of the Group Two Bonds, the City is authorized by the 95-2 Fiscal Agent Agreement to reduce the amount in Reserve Account (Group Two) and transfer to the Prepayment Account (Group Two) within the Redemption Fund (95-2) an amount in the proportion in which the Group Two Reassessment prepaid bears to the total original unpaid Group Two Reassessments. Pursuant to the 95-2 Fiscal'Agent Agreement, a Reserve Account (Group Three) has been established for the Group Three Bonds in the amount of the Reserve Requirement (Group Three) (as defined in the Fourth Supplemental 95-2 Agreement), presently $ Transfers will be made pursuant to the 95-2 Fiscal Agent Agreement from the Reserve Account (Group Three) to the Redemption Account (Group Three) in the event of a deficiency in the Redemption Account (Group Three). The amount so advanced will be reimbursed to the Reserve Account (Group Three) from the proceeds of redemption or sale of the parcel for which payment or reimbursement of any delinquent Group Three Reassessment was made from the Reserve Account (Group Three).

Upon the conversion Of each group of Adjustable Assessment Bonds (95-2) to Fixed Rate Bonds, and the issuance of any Related Additional Bonds, a reserve account will be established for such Fixed Rate Bonds and Related Additional Bonds, if any. There will be deposited in each such reserve account established for each such group of Fixed Rate Bonds so converted and the Related Additional Bonds, if any, an amount equal to the Reserve Requirement for such group of Fixed Rate Bonds and Related Additional Bonds, if any; provided, however, in lieu of such deposit there may be deposited in such reserve account a Reserve Facility in an amount at least equal to such Reserve Requirement.

Additional Assessment Bond.s,, The 95-2 Fiscal Agent Agreement provides that additional Adjustable Assessment Bonds (95-2) may, and in certain circumstances must, be converted to Fixed Rate Bonds and that Related Additional Bonds may be issued in connection with the conversion of such Fixed Rate Bonds. Such Related Additional Bonds, if any, and Fixed Rate Bonds (together, the "Additional 95-2 Fixed Rate Bonds") would be secured by 95-2 Reassessments on certain parcels (the "Additional 95-2 Fixed Rate Parcels") within Reassessment District No. 95-2 (other than the Group One Designated Parcels, the Group Two Designated Parcels or the Group Three Designated Parcels) designed by the City at the time of such conversion to represent such Additional 95-2 Fixed Rate Bonds. Subject to the provisions of the Indenture, such Additional 95-2 Fixed Rate Bonds could be purchased by the Authority with the proceeds of Additional Bonds to be issued pursuant to the Indenture. All Bonds issued under the Indenture, including any such Additional Bonds, are secured on a parity basis by all Revenues derived from payments to the Authority on all Assessment Bonds. No additional Assessment Bonds (95-1) may be issued under the 95-1 Fiscal Agent Agreement and no additional Assessment Bonds (95-2) may be issued upon the security of the unpaid Group One Reassessments for the Group One Designated Parcels, the unpaid Group Two Reassessments for the Group Two Designated Parcels or the unpaid Group Three Reassessments for the Group Three Designated Parcels. See "-Additional Authority Bonds" above and "APPENDIX A- SUMMARY OF INDENTURE AND FISCAL AGENT AGREEMENTS." Covenant for Superior Court Foreclosure If a delinquency occurs in the payment of any Fixed Rate Reassessment installment securing any Fixed Rate Assessment Bonds, the Fiscal Agent will have a duty only to transfer into the related Redemption Fund from the Reserve Fund (95-1), Reserve Account (Group One), Reserve Account (Group Two) or Reserve Account (Group Three) (but only to the extent funds are available therein) the amount necessary to pay principal of or interest On such Fixed Rate Assessment Bonds when due. There is no assurance that sufficient funds will be available in the Reserve Fund (95-1), Reserve Account (Group One), Reserve Account (Group Two) or Reserve Account (Group Three), as the case may be, for the Assessment Bonds (95-1), Group One Bonds, Group TWO Bonds or Group Three Bonds, as applicable, for this purpose. The City has determined, pursuant to Section 8769 of the California Streets and Highways Code, that it will not obligate itself to advance funds from its treasury to cover any delinquency on the Fixed Rate Reassessments or payments on the Fixed Rate Assessment Bonds. DOCSLA1:320644.3 22 The City has covenanted in the Fiscal Agent Agreement that it will within 150 days of a delinquency in the payment of Fixed Rate Reassessments or any other reassessments levied on any Additional 95-2 Fixed Rate Parcels ("Additional 95-2 Fixed Rate Reassessments"), or interest thereon, or amounts to pay the continuing costs of the Bonds, forthwith undertake and diligently prosecute foreclosure proceedings in the manner prescribed in the Act to collect such delinquent amounts; provided, however, that if the amount collected in Reassessment District No. 95-1, on the Group One Designated Parcels or the Group Three Designated Parcels or on any group of Additional 95-2 Fixed Rate Parcels securing any series of Additional 95-2 Fixed Rate Bonds is greater than 92.5% of the installment of the 95-1 Reassessments, Group One Reassessments, Group Three Reassessments or such Additional 95-2 Fixed Rate Reassessments, as the case may be, and interest thereon, and amounts to pay such continuing costs, to be collected, the City will not be required to undertake such foreclosure proceedings, unless it is determined that any single property owner is delinquent in excess of $25,000 in the payment of such amounts in which case it shall diligently institute, prosecute and pursue such foreclosure proceedings against such property owner as set forth therein. Upon the redemption or sale of the real property responsible for such delinquencies, the City shall deposit in the Reserve Fund (95-1), the Reserve Account (Group One), Reserve Account (Group Two) or the Reserve Account (Group Three) established with respect to the Group One Bonds, Group Two Bonds or Group Three Bonds, respectively, or any other reserve account established with respect to any Additional 95-2 Fixed Rate Bonds, as applicable, from the net proceeds of such redemption or sale, the amount of any delinquency advanced therefrom pursuant to the applicable Fiscal Agent Agreement; provided, however, that if and to the extent that any such deposit would cause the amount on deposit in the Reserve Fund (95-1), Reserve Account (Group One), Reserve Account (Group Two), Reserve Account (Group Three), or any other reserve account established with respect to any Additional 95-2 Fixed Rate Bonds, as applicable, to exceed the applicable reserve requirement, such excess shall be deposited in the applicable Redemption Fund. The balance, if any, of such redemption or sale proceeds shall be disbursed as set forth in the judgment of foreclosure or as required by law. Even though foreclosure is commenced and diligently prOsecuted in accordance with the city's covenant of foreclosure, neither the City nor the Authority can provide any assurance that, in the event such foreclosure progresses to the point of a foreclosure sale, there will be any bidder for the subject parcel or parcels. While assessed valuations would indicate that each of the parcels in the Fixed Rate Subject Area has sufficient value to assure meaningful bidding at such foreclosure sale, there is no assurance that such present value will not decline in the future, and neither the City nor the Authority is obligated to be a bidder at such foreclosure sale. In the absence of any outside bidder, the foreclosure sale may not produce money to the City in satisfaction of its foreclosure judgment from which to pay the principal of or the interest on the Assessment Bonds (95-1), Group One Bonds or Group Three Bonds, as applicable. See "SPECIAL RISK FACTORS." DOCSLA 1: 320644.3 23 Priority_ of Lien The unpaid Fixed Rate Reassessments and each installment thereof and any interest and penalties thereon constitute a lien against each of the respective parcels within the Fixed Rate Subject Area until the same are paid. Such lien is subordinate to all special assessment liens previously imposed upon the same property, but has priority over all private liens and over all special assessment liens which may thereafter be created against the same property. However, such lien is on a parity with the lien of general property taxes and any special taxes imposed, whether prior to the date hereof or in the future, against parcels within the Fixed Rate Subject Area pursuant to the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982, as amended (the "Mello-Roos Act"), or other applicable legislation. While there are no prior special assessment liens on any of the parcels of land in the Fixed Rate Subject Area, there are liens for special taxes and the rectmSng lien for general property taxes.

METHOD OF REASSESSMENT The total amount of 95-1 Reassessments, Group One Reassessments, Group Two Reassessments and Group Three Reassessments levied in Reassessment District No. 95-1, and on the Group One Reassessment Parcels, the Group Two Designated Parcels and the Group Three Designated Parcels is equal to the principal amounts of the Assessment Bonds (95-1), Group One Bonds, Group Two Bonds and Group Three Bonds, respectively. Said amount of each reassessment was calculated for each of the individual parcels of land within the Fixed Rate Subject Area in proportion to the unpaid existing reassessment on each such parcel. General - THE FIXED RATE SUBJECT AREA In legal proceedings concluded in 1986, the City established Assessment District No. 85-1 ("A.D. 85-1"), then comprised of 19 assessed parcels covering a total area of approximately 522 acres. A.D. 85-1 is bounded by the Santa Ana Freeway (Interstate 5), Browning Avenue, Irvine - 25 DOCSLA 1:320644.3 Boulevard and Jamboree Road. In legal proceedings concluded in 1988, the City established Assessment District No. 86-2 ("A.D. 86-2" and together with A.D. 85-1,. the "Prior Districts"), then comprised of 56 assessed parcels coveting a total area of approximately 2,260 acres, 1,440 of which were within the City boundary and the remaining portion of which were located primarily in an unincorporated area of the County (to the northeast of the City), with a small portion of A.D. 86-2 falling within the southeastern border of the City of Orange. A.D. 86-2 is bounded by Irvine Boulevard, Tustin Ranch Road, Santiago Canyon Road, and Jamboree Road. In August, 1986, the City issued $50,650,000 principal amount of variable rate improvement bonds for A.D. 85-1, and in September, 1988, the City issued $81,400,000 principal amount of variable rate improvement bOnds for A.D. 86-2 (collectively, the "Prior Variable Rate Bonds"). The proceeds of both issues have been used to fund the design and construction of public improvements within the Prior Districts, including streets and other traffic access and control facilities, drainage facilities, and utility improvements. The respective Indentures of Trust (collectively, the "Prior Indentures") pursuant to which the Prior Variable Rate Bonds were issued each provided for the conversion of a portion of the Prior Variable Rate Bonds to fixed rate bonds (collectively, the "Prior Fixed Rate Bonds") upon the occurrence of certain events prescribed by the Prior Indentures (primarily, the transfer of title by The Irvine Company, the owner of substantially all of the assessed property at the time of issuance of the Prior Variable Rate Bonds, to third parties with respect to portions of the assessed property). The Prior Indentures and related legal documents for the Prior Districts also provided for conversion to a fixed rate of the unpaid assessments on those certain parcels (the "Prior Fixed Rate Parcels"), the conveyance of which caused the conversion of the subject portion of the Prior Variable Rate Bonds into the Prior Fixed Rate Bonds. Reassessment District 95-1 consists of all Prior Fixed Rate Parcels from the Prior Districts which had an unpaid reassessment. The 95-1 Reassessments were levied within Reassessment District No. 95-1 by the City Council under the proceedings taken pursuant to Resolution No. 96-8, adopted by the City Council on January 15, 1996. Reassessment District No. 95-2 consists of all those parcels fi'om the Prior Districts which had an unpaid reassessment securing Prior Variable Rate Bonds that had not been so converted to Prior Fixed Rate Bonds. The 95-2 Reassessments were levied on the parcels in Reassessment District No. 95-2 by the City Council under the proceedings take pursuant to Resolution No. 96-10, adopted by the City Council on January 15, 1996. The Group Three Designated Parcels consist only of those parcels in Reassessment District No. 95-2, the assessments on which are now being converted to fixed assessments. Status of Public Improvements Designated Parcels The public improvements financed with the proceeds of the Prior Bonds are substantially complete. The only remaining improvements necessary to enable the remaining undeveloped property in the Fixed Rate Subject Area to be developed are in-tract improvements to certain specific parcels which will be the responsibility of the developer' of such specific parcel or parcels. Examples of such in-tract improvements are local streets; curb, gutters and sidewalk; traffic control signage and - 26 DOCSLA 1:320644.3 striping; street lights; landscaping; water distribution lines and appurtenances; sanitary sewer laterals,' collection lines and appurtenances; and underground gas, electric, telephone and cable television facilities. With the exception of school facilities to be developed by the Tustin Unified School District, no additional major infrastructure such as arterial streets, parks, fire stations, or libraries are required or anticipated for the full development of the remaining undeveloped property in the Fixed Rate Subject Area, although as of June 30, 1999, $3,736,919 in proceeds of the Prior Bonds (including interest earnings) remain in the construction fund established with respect to such Prior Bonds. The City expects to expend the remaining proceeds of the Prior Bonds over the next several years to complete an interchange at the junction of Tustin Ranch Road and Interstate 5 and certain other minor street improvements. Neither completion of such street improvements nor construction of such 'school facilities is a condition precedent to issuance of building permits for any of the remaining undeveloped property in the Fixed Rate Subject Area. Location and Terrain of the Fixed Rate Subject Area The City is located in central Orange County, about 40 miles southeast of Los Angeles and 80 miles north of San Diego. The City spans approximately 11.2 square miles and adjoins the cities oflrvine, Orange and Santa Ana. The combined area of the ReaSsessment Districts, of which the Fixed Rate Subject Area is a part, is approximately 2,782 acres and is located along the east side of the City, extending generally in a southwest-to-northeast band approximately 3/4ths of a mile wide, from the Santa Ana Freeway (Interstate 5) to Santiago Canyon Road, a distance of approximately 6 miles. The terrain is relatively flat, extending gently uphill toward the northeast, and transitioning to gently rolling hills in the last mile. Land Uses and Development Status The following Table 1 illustrates the land use categories of the parcels in the Fixed Rate Subject Area. As used in Table 1, the term "developed" means that at least one structure has been constructed on the parcel, which has been assigned improvement assessed value by the County Assessor. The developed portion of the Fixed Rate Subject Area represents approximately 82.5% of the unpaid Fixed Rate Reassessments. The information in Table 1 reflects the County's 1999-2000 property ownership records. However, additional development has occurred in the Fixed Rate Subject Area since the County's records were last updated. See "Stares of Development'' below for a description of such additional development.

DOCSLA1:320644.3 32 Direct and Overlapping Debt Community_ Facilities District No. 88-1 The Tustin Unified School District has formed its Community Facilities District No. 88-1 ("CFD No. 88-1") pursuant to the Mello-Roos Act, encompassing a major portion of the land within the Reassessment Districts, to provide financing for school facilities. CFD No. 88-1 initially authorized the issuance of bonded debt (the "Mello-Roos Bonds") in the amount of $103 million and the levy of special taxes against the property in CFD No. 88-1 to pay for debt service on the Mello-Roos Bonds, for certain costs of providing school facilities and sites, and for related incidental expenses. CFD No. 88-1 has since reduced the initial authorization of Mello-Roos Bonds to $63,000,000, not inclusive of additional amounts incidental to a refunding of such indebtedness. After the issuance of $64,615,000 Mello-Roos Bonds by CFD No. 88-1 on October 23, 1998, there is no remaining authorization against which CFD No. 88-1 may issued additional bonds. The lien securing payment of the special taxes to be levied fi.om year to year upon the parcels Within CFD No. 88-1 will be on a parity with the lien securing payment of the Fixed Rate Reassessments. See "SECURITY FOR THE BONDS - Priority of Lien" herein. Property within CFD No. 88-1 for which no building permit has been issued is, for purposes of the special tax formula, determined to be undeveloped property. Residential property within CFD No. 88-1 for which a building permit has been issued is, for purposes of the special tax formula, determined to be developed property. The special tax on developed property within CFD No. 88-1 is a function of the density of the development. Based on current development plans, for fiscal year 1999-2000, the minimum special tax that may be levied on residential units in any particular parcel within the Fixed Rate Subject Area is $1,148.43 per unit, and the maximum special tax that may be levied on residential units in any particular parcel within the Fixed Rate Subject Area is $1,320.70 per unit. For fiscal years 1999-2000 and thereafter, the special tax formula for CFD No. 88-1 specifies that, subject to the. exceptions stated therein, the special tax will be levied only in an amount necessary to insure payment of debt service on the outstanding Mello-Roos Bonds issued through fiscal year 1999-2000. Commencing in fiscal year 1999-2000, the special tax on residential property may be increased by four percent every year, if required. The final maturity of the currently outstanding Mello-Roos Bonds is September 1, 2024. Because the amount of the special tax levy on a particular parcel in CFD No. 88-1 in any year will vary not only based on the status of the remaining parcels as developed or undeveloped property, but also based on the density of the remaining parcels that are developed property, such parcel's proportionate share of the obligations of CFD No. 88-1 cannot be determined with certainty prior to development of all of the property in CFD No. 88-1. Prior to such time, the most meaningful figure for ascertaining the burden that may be imposed on a parcel in any year for CFD No. 88-1 obligations is probably the amount of the maximum special tax that may be levied on such parcel. DOCSLA 1:320644.3 33 Irvine Ranch Water District As shown on Table 6, the Irvine Ranch Water District ("IRWD") has created two improvement districts, I.D. No. 105 and I.D. No. 250 (collectively, the "IRWD Improvement Districts"), that overlap the Reassessmem Districts. IRWD has sold bonds on behalf of I.D. No. 105 to provide regional and local water supply, storage, transmission and distribution facilities to serve residential and commercial development in such improvement districts. IRWD has sold bonds on behalf of I.D. No. 250 to provide reclaimed water supply and sewage collection, treatment and disposal facilities for residential and commercial development within such improvement districts. In addition to the outstanding bonded debt of approximately $107 million reflected on the following schedule, the two IRWD Improvement Districts have a total of approximately $324.5 million in authorized but unissued bonded debt. The Fixed Rate Subject Area's share of outstanding debt of the two IRWD Improvement Districts is approximately $40 million. The Fixed Rate Subject Area's share of the authorized but unissued debt of the two IRWD Improvement Districts is approximately $121 million. The IRWD Improvement District's Bonds are general obligation bonds payable from ad valorem taxes; the mount of the tax levy on each parcel is based on the asseSsed valuation of the land only. If, as property is developed and sold within the Fixed Rate Subject Area, and the assessed valuation of such parcels increases disproportionately to other parcels in the IRWD Improvement Districts, then Such parcels' share of the debt of the IRWD Improvement Districts would increase. The City cannot predict the amount of authorized but unissued bonds for the IRWD Improvement Districts that will ultimately be issued by IRWD, nor can it predict when such debt would be issued or the debt service payments thereon. Estimated Debt Set forth in Table 6 is the existing authorized indebtedness payable from taxes and assessments that may be levied on property within the Fixed Rate Subject Area. No additional Fixed Rate Assessment Bonds can be issued upon the security of the unpaid Fixed Rate Reassessments for the Fixed Rate Subject Area. However, other public agencies may issue additional indebtedness on property within the Fixed Rate Subject Area at any time. See "SECURITY FOR THE BONDS - Profity of Lien."

Except to the limited extent indicated above, neither such merchant builders nor any other purchaser or potential purchaser of any portion of the Fixed Rate Subject Area has provided the City or the Authority with any information about its development plan, its financing for such plan, its experience or its abilities, nor have such merchant builders or any other such purchaser or potential purchaser participated in any other way in the issuance of the Group Three Bonds or the Series D Bonds. Furthermore, neither the City nor the Authority has made, nor will make, any investigation of such merchant builders or any other purchaser or potential purchaser of portions of the property within the Fixed Rate Subject Area. Therefore, no representation is made herein as to the experience, abilities or financial resources of such merchant builders or any other such purchasers or pOtential purchasers or as to the likelihood that such merchant builders or any other such purchasers or potential purchasers will be successful in developing the purchased portions of the Fixed Rate Subject Area. Purchasers of the Series D Bonds should not assume that such merchant builders or any other persons or entities that purchase portions of the Fixed Rate Subject Area from The Irvine Company will have the experience, abilities or financial resources necessary to successfully develop such property beyond the stage of development reached by The Irvine Company. DOCSLA1:320644.3 38 SPECIAL RISK FACTORS The following information should be considered by prospective investors in evaluating the Series D Bonds. However, it does not purport to be an exhaustive listing of the risks and other considerations which may be relevant to an investment in the Series D Bonds. In addition, the order in which the following information is presented .is not intended to reflect the relative importance of any such risks. If any risk factor materializes to a sufficient degree, it alone could delay or preclude payment of principal of or interest on the Series D Bonds or both. The Bonds are Limited Obligations of the Authorit~, Funds for the payment of the principal of and the interest on the Series D Bonds are derived from debt service payments on the Fixed Rate Assessment Bonds which are derived only from annual Fixed Rate Reassessment installments. While a modest coverage factor has been established in structuring the annual debt service on the Fixed Rate Assessment Bonds (see "THE FIXED RATE SUBJECT AREA - Debt Service Coverage - TABLE 3" herein), the amount of annual Fixed Rate Reassessment installments that are collected by the City could be insufficient to pay principal of and interest on the Fixed Rate Assessment Bonds due to non-payment of such annual Fixed Rate Reassessment installments levied or due to insufficient proceeds received from a judicial foreclosure sale of land within the Fixed Rate Subject Area following delinquency. The City's legal obligations with respect to any delinquent Fixed Rate Reassessment installments are limited to (1) payments from the Reserve Fund (95-1), Reserve Account (Group One), Reserve Account (Group Two) or Reserve Account (Group Three) (depending on the location of the delinquent parcel) to the extent of funds on deposit therein, and (2) the institution of judicial foreclosure proceedings with respect to any parcels for which the Fixed Rate Reassessment installment is delinquent (see "SECURITY FOR THE BONDS- Covenant for Superior Court Foreclosure" herein). The City has determined that it will not obligate itself to advance funds from its treasury to cover any delinquency'on the Fixed Rate Reassessments or payments on the Fixed Rate Assessment Bonds. The Series D Bonds cannot be accelerated in the event of any default. ,The Reassessments are Not Personal Obligations of the Properly Owners Under the provisions of the Act, Fixed Rate Reassessment installments will be billed to the owner of each parcel in the Fixed' Rate Subject Area against which there is an unpaid Fixed Rate Reassessment, such billing to be made on the regular property tax bills sent to such owners. Such Fixed Rate Reassessment installments are due and payable at the same time and bear the same late charges and penalties as for non-payment of regular property tax installments. ' The obligation to pay Fixed Rate Reassessment installments does not constitute a personal obligation of the current or subsequent owners of the respective parcels which are subject to the Fixed Rate Reassessment liens. Enforcement of Fixed Rate ReasSessment payment obligations by the City is limited to judicial foreclosure in the Orange County Superior Court pursuant to Sections 8830 et seq. of the California Streets and Highways Code. There is no assurance that any current or subsequent owner of a parcel subject to a Fixed Rate Reassessment lien will be able to pay the 39 DOCSkA 1:320644.3 Fixed Rate Reassessment installments or that such owner will choose to pay such installments even though financially able to do so. The Assessment Bonds are Limited Obligations of the City_ The obligation of the City, as issuer of the Fixed Rate Assessment Bonds, to advance the amount of delinquencies to the Trustee, as the registered holder of the Assessment Bonds, is strictly limited to funds on deposit in the Reserve Fund (95-1), Reserve Account (Group One), Reserve Account (Group Two) or Reserve Account (Group Three) established and held by the City pursuant to the respective Fiscal Agent Agreements.. Pursuant to Section 8769 of the California Streets and Highways Code, the City has expressly elected not to obligate itself to advance available funds from the City's treasury to make up deficiencies in the amount of Fixed Rate Reassessment installments collected. Sustained failure by property owners to pay Fixed Rate Reassessment installments when due, combined with depletion of the Reserve Fund (95-1), Reserve Account (Group One), Reserve Account (Group Two) or Reserve Account (Group Three), or all four, and the inability of the City to sell parcels which have become subject to judicial foreclosure proceedings for amounts sufficient to cover the delinquent 'Fixed Rate Reassessment installments, will most likely result in the inability of the City to make full or punctual payments of interest on or principal of the Assessment Bonds (95-1), the Group One Bonds, the Group Two Bonds or the Group Three Bonds, or all four, which could result in a default on the Fixed Rate Bonds. Bankruptcy The payment of Fixed Rate Reassessment installments and the ability of the City to foreclose the lien of a delinquent Fixed Rate Reassessment is normally delayed by and may be limited in other ways by bankruptcy, insolvency, or other laws generally affecting creditors' rights or by State law relating to judicial foreclosure. In addition, the prosecution of a judicial foreclosure may be delayed due to congested local court calendars or procedural delays. The various legal opinions to be delivered concurrently with the delivery of the Series D Bonds (including Bond Counsel's approving legal opinion) will be qualified as to the enforceability of the various legal instruments, including the Series D Bonds, by bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally. Although bankruptcy proceedings would not cause the Reassessments to become extinguished, bankruptcy of a property owner could result in a delay in prosecuting judicial foreclosure proceedings and could result in delinquent Fixed Rate Reassessment installments not being paid in full. Such a delay would increase the likelihood of a delay or default in payment of the principal of and interest on the Series D Bonds. DOCSLA1:320644.3 4O Payments by FDIC The ability of the City to collect Fixed Rate Reassessment installment and interest and penalties specified by state law, and to foreclose the lien of delinquent Fixed Rate Reassessment installment, may be limited in certain respects with regard to properties in which the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC") or other similar federal governmental agencies has or obtains an interest. On June 4, 1991, the FDIC issued a Statement of Policy Regarding the Payment of State and Local Property Taxes (the "1991 Policy Statement"). The 1991 Policy Statement was revised and superseded by new Policy Statement effective January 9, 1997 (the "Policy Statement"). The Policy Statement provides that real property owned by the FDIC is subject to state and local real property taxes only if those taxes are assessed according to the property's value, and that the FDIC is immune from real property taxes assessed on any basis other than property value. According to the Policy Statement, the FDIC will pay its property tax obligations when they become due and payable and will pay claims for delinquent property taxes as promptly as is consistent with sound business practice and the orderly administration of the institution's affairs, unless abandonment of the FDIC's interest in the property is appropriate. The FDIC will pay claims for interest' 6n delinquent property taxes owed at the rate provided under state law, to the extent the interest payment obligation is secured by a valid lien. The FDIC will not pay any amounts in the nature of fines or penalties and will not pay nor recognize liens for such amounts. If any property taxes (including interest) on FDIC owned property are secured by a valid lien (in effect before the property became owned by the FDIC), the FDIC will pay those claims. The Policy Statement further provides that no property of the FDIC is subject to levy, attachment, garnishment, foreclosure or sale without the FDIC's consent. In addition, the FDIC will not permit a lien or security interest held by the FDIC to be eliminated by foreclosure without the FDIC's consent. The Policy Statement states that the FDIC generally will not pay non ad valorem taxes, including special assessments, on property in which it has a fee interest unless the amount of tax is fixed at the time that the FDIC acquires its fee interest in the property, nor will it recognize the validity of any lien to the extent it purports to secure the payment of any such amounts. Special taxes imposed under the Act and a special tax formula which determines the special tax due each year, are specifically identified in the Policy Statement as being imposed each year and therefore covered by the FDIC's federal immunity. With respect to property in California owned by the FDIC on January 9, 1997 and that was owned by.the RTC on December 31, 1995, or that became the property of the FDIC through foreclosure of a security interest held by the RTC on that date, the FDIC will continue the RTC's prior practice of paying special taxes imposed pursuant to the Mello- Roos Act if the taxes were imposed prior to the RTC's acquisition of an interest in the property. All other special taxes may be challenged by the FDIC. The FDIC has filed claims against the County in the United States Bankruptcy Court contending, among other things, that special taxes are not ad valorem taxes, and, therefore, special taxes levied after the FDIC is appointed as receiver are not payable by the FDIC, and to the extent previously paid bY the FDIC must be refunded. The Banlmtptcy Court ruled in favor of the FDIC's positions and, on March 22, 1999, the United States Bankruptcy Appellate Panel of the Ninth - 41 DOCSLA1:320644.3 Circuit affirmed the decision of the Bankruptcy Court. The County has appealed such ruling to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit and the FDIC has cross-appealed. The Ninth Circuit has not yet issued a ruling on the matter. Based upon the secured tax roll as of January 1, 1999, the FDIC was not listed as the owner of any of the property in the Reassessment District No. 95-1 and Reassessment District No. 95-2. Neither the Authority nor the City is able to predict what effect the application of the Policy Statement would have in the event of a delinquency with respect to a parcel in the Fixed Rate Subject Area in which the FDIC has or obtains an interest, although prohibiting the lien on the FDIC-owned property to be foreclosed on at a judicial foreclosure sale would prevent the sale of such a parcel at a foreclosure sale. Owners of the Series D Bonds should assume that the City will be unable to foreclose on any parcel in the Fixed Rate Subject Area owned by the FDIC. Such an outcome would cause a draw on the Reserve Fund (95-1), Reserve Account (Group One), Reserve Account (Group Two) or Reserve Account (Group Three) and perhaps, ultimately, a default in payment of the Series D Bonds. Neither the Authority nor the City has undertaken to determine whether the FDIC currently has, or is likely to acquire, any interest in any of the parcels in the Fixed Rate Subject Area, and therefore expresses no view concerning the likelihood that the risks described above will materialize while the Series D Bonds are outstanding. Existence of Undeveloped Property. Approximately 17.5% of the Fixed Rate Reassessments are secured by liens on undeveloped property, and the average value-to-lien ratio for such undeveloped property is 6.45 (see "THE FIXED RATE SUBJECT AREA - Land Uses and Development Status - TABLE 1" herein). Such ratio reflects the County's 1999-2000 property ownership records. Additional development has occurred in the Fixed Rate Subject Area since such records were last updated. The undeveloped property consists primarily of subdivided lots which are owned by merchant builders who intend to develop the property for single family residential use (see "THE FIXED RATE SUBJECT AREA- Status of Development" herein). There may be subsequent transfers of ownership of the undeveloped property prior to completion of development. Failure of the owners of undeveloped property to pay the Fixed Rate Reassessment installments when due could result in a default in the payments of principal of and interest on the Assessment Bonds (95-1), the Group One Bonds or the Group Three Bonds, which could result in the inability of the Authority to make payments of the principal of and interest on the Series D Bonds. Price Realized Upon Foreclosure Section 8832 of the Act prescribes the minimum price (the "Minimum Price") at which property may be sold in a judicial foreclosure resulting from delinquencies on assessment installments. The Minimum Price is the amount equal to the delinquent installments of principal and intereSt of the assessment, together with all interest, penalties, costs, fees, charges and other amounts more fully detailed in said Section 8832. However, Section 8836 of the Streets and Highways Code provides that the court may authorize a sale at less than the Minimum Price if the court makes certain determinations, based on the evidence introduced at the required hearing, which DOCSLA 1:320644.3 42 evidence must establish that no ultimate loss will result to the bondholders or that no other remedy is acceptable and at least 75% of the bondholders' consent. The Fixed Rate Reassessment lien upon property sold pursuant to this procedure at a lesser price than the Minimum Price would be reduced by the difference between the Minimum Price and the actual sale price. In addition, the court would permit participation by the Authority, as owner of all of the Fixed Rate Assessment Bonds, in its consideration of the petition as necessary to it determination. Reference should be made to Section 8836 for the complete presentation of this provision. If foreclosure proceedings do not result in full collection of delinquent Fixed Rate Reassessments, it is possible that owners of the Series D Bonds may not receive payment of principal of or interest on the Series D Bonds. Uncertainties of Future Development The motivation of the present or future owners of the undeveloped property in the Fixed Rate Subject Area may be diminished in the event significant delays are experienced in development efforts. HoweVer, further development of property in the Fixed Rate Subject Area may be affected by changes in general economic conditions, fluctuations in the real estate market, changes in the ownership of the land, and other factors. In addition, any proposed development is subject to existing and future federal, state and local regulations. Approval may be required from various public agencies in connection with the design, nature and extent of the required public improvements, or such matters as land use and zoning. Failure to meet any such furore regulations · or obtain any such approvals in a timely manner could delay or adversely affect any proposed development of the parcels of land in the Fixed Rate Subject Area. The development of property within the Fixed Rate Subject Area is subject to a number of contingencies which could slow or prevent future development of the undeveloped land. Consequently, no assurance can be given that such development will be partially or fully completed, and in assessing the investment quality of the Series D Bonds, prospective purchasers should evaluate the risks ofnoncompletion, including but not limited to the following. First, undeveloped land is less valuable than such land in a developed condition and provides less valuable security to the Series D Bondowners should it be necessary for the City to foreclose due to the nonpayment of Fixed Rate Reassessment installments which secure the Fixed Rate Assessment Bonds. Second, if the remaining undeveloped land in the Fixed Rate Subject Area is not developed, the number of likely purchasers at a foreclosure sale, in the event the City forecloses the lien of delinquent unpaid Fixed Rate Reassessment installments, is likely to be reduced. Third, in addition to potentially reducing the ability and willingness of the landowners to pay Fixed Rate Reassessment installments, a slowdown of the economic development process in DOCSLA1:320644.3 43 the region could'adversely affect land values and reduce the proceeds received at a foreclosure sale in the event Fixed Rate Reassessment installments are not paid when due. There can be no assurance that land development operations within the Fixed Rate Subject Area will not be adversely affected by future governmental policies, including, but not limited to, governmental policies to restrict or control development. Any event that significantly impacts the ability to develop land in the Fixed Rate Subject Area may cause the property values of undeveloped property to decrease substantially from the assessed values set forth herein and could affect the willingness and ability of the owners of'the undeveloped property to pay the Fixed Rate Reassessment installments when due. Direct and Overlap_~ing Indebtedness The ability or willingness of an owner of land within the Fixed Rate Subject Area to pay Fixed Rate Reassessment installments could be affected by the imposition of other taxes and assessments imposed upon the land. In addition, other public agencies whose boundaries overlap those of the Fixed Rate Subject Area could, without the consent of the City or the Authority, and in certain cases without the consent of the owners of the land within the Fixed Rate Subject Area, impose additional taxes or assessment liens on the property within the Fixed Rate Subject Area to finance public improvements or services to be located or provided inside of or outside of the Fixed Rate Subject Area. A statement of direct and overlapping indebtedness on land within the Fixed Rate Subject Area is included herein under the heading "THE FIXED RATE SUBJECT AREA - Direct and Overlapping Debt - Table 6." Earthquakes The land area comprising the Fixed Rate Subject Area is subject to unpredictable seismic activity. The occurrence of seismic activity in or around the Fixed Rate Subject Area could result in substantial damage to properties in the Fixed Rate Subject Area, which, in mm, could substantially reduce the value of such properties and could affect the willingness or ability of the property owners to pay their Fixed Rate Reassessment installments when due. Drought Conditions California has experienced drought conditions, although rainfall in recent years has terminated the droug~ht conditions throughout the State. Water service within the Fixed Rate Subject Area is provided by the Irvine Ranch Water District. While IRWD currently anticipates being able to supply water for existing and new development within its service area for the foreseeable future, there can be no assurance that any renewal of drought conditions will not adversely .affect IRWD's ability to do so. Such failure could adversely affect the financial condition of the. property owners and could slow or halt development efforts, thereby adversely affecting the willingness or the ability of the owners of undeveloped property to pay their Fixed Rate Reassessment installments when due. DOCSLA1:320644.3 44 Land Values The value of land within the Fixed Rate Subject Area is an important factor in evaluating the investment quality of the Fixed Rate Bonds. In the event that a property owner defaults in the payment of a Fixed Rate Reassessment installment, the City's only remedy is to judicially foreclose on that property. Prospective purchasers of the Series D Bonds should not assume that the property within the Fixed Rate Subject Area could be sold for the assessed value described herein at a foreclosure sale for delinquent Reassessment installments or for an amount adequate to pay delinquent Reassessment installments. The property values set forth in the various tables herein are the property values determined by the County Assessor for property tax purposes. These assessed value determinations may be subject to an appeal by the property owner. Assessment appeals are annually filed with the County Assessment Appeals Board for a heating and resolution. At the time of filing, applicants are required to estimate an opinion of value. The resc31ution of an appeal may result in a reduction to the County Assessor's original taxable value and a tax refund to the applicant/property owner. Any reduction in assessed taxable values of property within the Fixed Rate Subject Area would have an adverse impact on the value-to-lien ratios discussed in the tables herein. The actual market value of the property is subject to future events such as downturn in the economy, occurrences such as earthquakes, droughts or floods or other events, all of which could adversely impact the value of the land in the Fixed Rate Subject Area which is the security for the Fixed Rate Assessment Bonds, which secure the Series D Bonds. As discussed herein, many factors could adversely affect property values or prevent or delay land development within the Fixed Rate Subject Area. Hazardous Substances The market value of the property in the Fixed Rate Subject Area is subject to ~diminution upon the future release or discovery thereon of a hazardous substance. In general, the owners and operators of a parcel may be required by law to remedy conditions relating to releases or threatened releases of hazardous substances. The federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, sometimes referred to as "CERCLA" or "Superfund Act", is the most well known and widely applicable of these laws, but California laws with regard to hazardous substances are also stringent and similar. Under many of these laws, the owner (or operator) is obligated to remedy a hazardous 'substance condition of property whether or not the owner (or.operator) had anything to do with creating or handling the hazardous substance. The effect therefore, should any of the parcels be affected by a hazardous substance, is to reduce the marketability and value by the costs of remedying the condition, because the purchaser, upon becoming owner, will become obligated to remedy the condition just as is the seller. The value of the property within the Fixed Rate Subject Area, as set forth in the various tables herein, does not reflect the presence of any hazardous substance or the possible liability of the owner (or operator) for the remedy of a hazardous substance condition of the property. Neither the Authority nor the City has independently verified, and neither is aware, that the owner (or - 45 DOCSLA 1:320644.3 operator) of any of the parcels within the Fixed Rate Subject Area have such a current liability with respect to any such parcel. However, it is possible that such liabilities do currently exist and that neither the Authority nor the City is aware of them. Further, it is possible that liabilities may arise in the future with respect to any of the land within the Fixed Rate Subject Area resulting from the existence, currently, of a substance presently classified as hazardous but which has not been released or the release of which is not presently threatened, or may arise in the furore resulting from the existence, currently, on the parcel of a substance not presently classified as hazardous but which may in the furore be so classified. Further, such liabilities may ar/se not 'simply from the existence of a hazardous substance but from the method of handling it. All of these possibilities could significantly adversely affect the value of a parcel and the willingness or ability of the owner of any parcel to pay the Fixed Rate Reassessment installments when due. Endangered and Threatened Species There is no known presence of any endangered or threatened species of animal or plant life within the Fixed Rate Subject Area. Furore discovery of any endangered or threatened species could delay or halt further development of the undeveloped property in the Fixed Rate Subject Area. Cumulative Burden of Parity. Taxes, Special Assessments and Development Costs The Fixed Rate Reassessments and the annual installments thereof constitute a lien against the parcels of land on which the Fixed Rate Reassessments have been levied. Such lien is on a parity with all special taxes levied by other agencies and is co-equal to and independent of the lien for general property taxes, regardless of when they are imposed upon the same property. Approximately 17.5% of the Fixed Rate Reassessments are on undeveloped land within the Fixed Rate Subject Area. Such percentage reflects the County's 1999-2000 property ownership records. However, additional development has occurred in the Fixed Rate Subject Area since the date such records were last updated. See "THE FIXED RATE SUBJECT AREA - Status of Development" for a description of such additional development. Although most of the public improvements required for the development of this land has been completed, it is possible that additional improvements might be required, the cost of which could increase the public and private debt for which the undeveloped land within the Fixed Rate Subject Area is security. This increased debt could reduce the ability or willingness of the owners of the undeveloped property to pay the Fixed Rate Reassessment installments when due. Neither the City nor the Authority has control over the ability of other entities to issue indebtedness secured by special taxes or assessments payable from all or a portion of the property within the Fixed Rate Subject Area. In addition, the owners of property within the Fixed Rate Subject Area may, without the consent or knowledge of the City or the Authority, petition other public agencies to issue public indebtedness secured by special taxes or assessments. Any such DOCSLA1:320644.3 46 special taxes may have a lien on such property on a parity with the lien of the Fixed Rate Reassessments. Loss of Tax 'Exemption As discussed under the caption "CONCLUDING INFORMATION - Tax Matters" herein, the interest on the Series D Bonds could become includable in Foss income for federal income tax purposes, retroactive to the date of issuance of the Series D Bonds, as a result of failure of the Authority or the City to comply with certain provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Should such an event of taxability occur, the Series D Bonds are not subject to early redemption and will remain Outstanding to maturity or until redeemed under the optional or mandatory redemption or mandatory sinking fund redemption provisions of the Indenture. California Constitution Article XIIIC and Article XIIID On November 5, 1996, the voters of the State approved Proposition 218, the so-called "Rig~ht to Vote on Taxes Act." Proposition 218 added Articles XIIIC and XIIID to the State Constitution, which contain a number of provisions affecting the ability of the City to levy and collect both existing and future taxes, assessments, fees and charges. Article XIIID requires that, beginning July 1, 1997, the proceedings for the levy of any assessment by the City under the Act (including, if applicable, any increase in such assessment or any supplemental assessment under the Act) must be conducted in conformity with the provisions of Section 4 of Article XIIID. Because the City completed its proceedings for the levy of assessments in the Fixed Rate Subject Area on January 15, 1996, the provisions of Section 4 of Article XIIID do not apply to the unpaid Fixed Rate Reassessments which secure the Fixed Rate Assessment Bonds. In addition, under Section 10400 of the Act, any challenge (including any constitutional challenge) to the proceedings or the assessment must be brought within 30 days after the date the assessment was levied. Article XIIIC removes limitations on the initiative power in matters of local taxes, assessments, fees and charges. Article XIIIC does not define the term "assessment", and it is unclear whether this term is intended to include assessments levied under the Act. Furthermore, this provision of Article XIIIC is not, by its terms, restricted in its application to assessments which were established or imposed on or after July 1, 1997. In the case of the unpaid Fixed Rate Reassessments which are pledged as security for payment of the Fixed Rate Assessment Bonds, the Act provides a mandatory, statutory duty of the City and the County Auditor to post installments on account of the unpaid 95-1 Reassessments, Group One Reassessments or Group Three Reassessments, as the case may be, to the property tax roll of the County each year while any of the Assessment B,onds (95-1), Group One Bonds or Group Three Bonds, as applicable, are outstanding, in amounts equal to the principal of and interest on the Assessment Bonds (95-1), Group One Bonds or Group Three Bonds, as applicable, coming due in the succeeding calendar year. While the matter is not free from doubt, it is likely that a court would hold that the initiative power cannot be used to reduce or repeal the unpaid Fixed Rate Reassessments which are pledged as security for payment of the Fixed Rate Assessment Bonds or to otherwise interfere with performance of the - 47 DOCSLA1:320644.3 mandatory, statutory duty of the City and the County Auditor with respect to the unpaid Fixed Rate Reassessments which are pledged as security for payment of the Fixed Rate Assessment Bonds. The interpretation and application of the Proposition 218 will ultimately be determined by the courts with respect to a number of the matters discussed above, and it is not possible at this time to predict with certainty the outcome of such determination. Year 2000 Problem The inability of many computer programs to distinguish between the years 2000 and 1900 (the "Year 2000 Problem") could disrupt the ability of the County, the City and others to provide municipal services in general and' services pertaining to the collection of Fixed Rate Reassessments in particular and/or could increase the cost of providing such services. For example, the Year 2000 Problem could impede or make more costly (i)the County's collection of Fixed Rate Reassessments and the City's compliance with on-going disclosure requirements and with restrictions applicable to investment yield and rebate, (ii)the Trustee's (or Fiscal Agent's) maintenance of the funds and accounts held by it under the Indenture (or the Fiscal Agent Agreement) and (iii) DTC's (and its Direct Participants' and Indirect Participants') distributions to the Beneficial Owners of the Series D Bonds their respective shares of the principal of and interest on the Series D Bonds. The City As ofthe printing of this Official Statement, the City has completed its evaluation of all of its mission-critical computers and other systems and equipment (including those containing embedded chips) to ascertain which may be impacted by a failure to properly recognize and process transactions as the result of the Year 2000 Problem. The City has received confirmations that the City's network system, personal computer-based systems, telephone systems and peripheral systems (banking, utilities and security systems) are all Year 2000 compliant. Because of the unprecedented nature of the Year 2000 Problem, it is not possible to provide assurances that the City has achieved or will achieve complete Year 2000 compliance, even after all Year 2000 corrective actions and related testing. The City also cannot determine the effect, if any, on City operations should entities external to the City (such as other governments, significant vendors, suppliers, service providers, customers, taxpayers, businesses) fail to achieve Year 2000 compliance in a timely manner. The County The County reports that it has assessed the status of Year 2000 compliance with respect to virtually every County department, and has developed a plan to modify or replace any non- compliant.system in. a manner that will eliminate significant operational problems. The Board of Supervisors approved approximately $17 million in funding for certain modifications and replacements through Fiscal Year 1998-99, with an additional several million dollars for Year 2000 compliance use in the Fiscal Year 1999-2000 budget. While some systems have akeady been determined to be in compliance, several departmental systems are not scheduled to be completed - 48 DOCSLA1:320644.3 until late 1999. The costs of the proposed modifications and replacements and their expected completion dates are based on certain assumptions and the County's best estimates. There can be no guarantee that these estimates will be achieved and actual results could differ materially from those anticipated. Specific factors that might cause a different outcome include, but are not limited to, the availability and cost of trained personnel, the ability to locate and correct all relevant computer codes and reliance on manufacturers' representations with respect to Year 2000 compliance. If the proposed modifications or replacements do not occur as anticipated, the Year 2000 Problem could have a material impact on the County's operations. With respect to property tax assessment, billing, collection, apportionment, appeals and related treasury operations, many of the necessary systems, including, but not limited to the Assessment Tax System used by the Assessor, Tax Collector, Clerk of the Board, and Auditor- Controller, the Clerk of the Board's assessment appeals systems and the Treasurer's Fund Accounting and Portfolio Accounting systems are believed to be Year 2000 compliant. Each department continues to scan their systems for potential problems. A substantial upgrade of the County Accounting and Personnel System ("CAPS"), the backbone of the County's financial systems, including Year 2000 modifications, was completed in September 1999. All of the County's systems depend on the delivery of basic services, such as electricity and telephone. The County is working with Southern California Edison and other infrastructure providers in an effort to ensure that basic services will be delivered. In addition, many County systems interface with systems of non-County entities, including, but not limited to, the State, the federal government, banks and trust companies. Although the County will work with all interfaces, there can be no guarantee that the systems of any interface or non-County entity will be timely modified or converted, nor that such systems will not adversely impact timely payment of the Series D Bonds. The D-ustee/Fiscal Agent For publicly distributed information relating to State Street's Year 2000 readiness, see State Street's home page on the Internet at http://www, statestreet, com. DTC See "THE SERIES D BONDS- Book-Entry System" for information provided by DTC with respect to its efforts to address the Year 2000 Problem. Prospective purchasers of the Series D Bonds should contact the DTC Participants through which they would purchase Series D Bonds in order to determine whether such DTC Participants and DTC itself will be able to successfully address the Year 2000 Problem in a timely and efficient manner. THE AUTHORITY The Authority is a joint powers authority, organized pursuant to a Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement, dated as of MaY 1, 1995, between the City and the Tustin COmmunity Redevelopment - 49 DOCSLA 1:320644.3 Agency (the "Agreement"). The Agreement was entered into pursuant to Chapter 5 of Division 7 of Title 1 of the California Government Code (Sections 6500 et seq.) (the "Joint Powers Act"). The Authority is a separate entity, constituting a public insmumentality of the State of California and was formed for the public purpose of assisting in financing and refinancing projects pursuant to the Joint Powers Act for the benefit of California local agencies. The Authority is governed by a Board of Directors, which is comprised of five members. The members of the City Council of the City constitute the members of the Board of Directors of the Authority. The Authority is specifically ~anted all of the powers specified in the Joint Powers Act, including but not limited to the power to issue bonds and to sell such bonds to public or private purchasers at public or by negotiated sale. THE CITY The City of Tustin is located in central Orange County, approximately 40 miles southeast of Los Angeles and 80 miles north of San Diego. The City covers approximately 11.2 square miles and adjoins the cities oflrvine, Orange and Santa Ana. CONCLUDING INFORMATION Underwriting The Series D Bonds are being purchased through negotiation of PaineWebber .Incorporated (the "Underwriter"). The Underwriter has agreed to purchase the Series D Bonds at a discount of $33,480 from the principal amount thereof. Simultaneously with the purchase of the Series D Bonds by the Undemwiter, the Authority has agreed to purchase the Group Three Bonds from the City. The Underwr/ter's obligation to purchase the Series D Bonds is contingent upon the Authority's purchase of the Group Three Bonds, the approval of certain legal matters by counsel and certain other conditions. The Underwriter may offer and sell the Series D Bonds to certain dealers and others at prices lower than the public offering prices set forth on the inside cover hereof. The offering prices of the Series D Bonds may be changed from time to time by the Underwriter. Legal Opinion The legality of the Series D Bonds and certain other legal matters are subject to the approval of Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP, Los Angeles, California, Bond Counsel. Certain legal matters will be passed upon for the Authority and the City by Woodruff, Spradlin & Smart, a Professional Corporation, Orange, California, as City Attorney. The fees of Bond Counsel are contingent upon issuance of the Series D Bonds. DOCSLA 1:320644.3 50 Tax Matters In the opinion of Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP ("Bond Counsel"), based on an analysis of existing laws, regulations, rulings and court decisions, and assuming, among other things, compliance with certain covenants, interest on the Series D Bonds is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes under Section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code") and is exempt from State of California personal income taxes.~ Bond Counsel is of the further opinion that the interest on the Series D Bonds is not a specific preference item for purposes of the federal individual or corporate alternative minimum taxes, although Bond Counsel observes that such interest is included in adjusted current earnings when calculating corporate alternative minimum taxable income. A complete copy of the proposed form of opinion of Bond Counsel is set forth in Appendix B hereto. To the extent the issue price of any maturity of the Series D Bonds is less than the amount to be paid at maturity of such series D Bonds (excluding amounts stated to be interest and payable at least annually over the term of such Series D Bonds), the difference constitutes "original issue discount," the accrual of which, to the extent properly allocable to each owner thereof, is treated as interest on the Series D Bonds which is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes and State of California personal income taxes. For this purpose, the issue price of a particular maturity of the Series D Bonds is the first price at which a substantial amount of such maturity of the Series D Bonds is sold to the public'(excluding bond houses, brokers, or similar persons or organizations acting in the capacity of underwriters, placement agents or wholesalers). The orig/nal issue discount with respect to any maturity of the Series D Bonds accrues daily over the term to maturity of such Series D Bonds on the basis of a constant interest rate compounded semiannually (with straight-line interpolations between compounding dates). The accruing original issue discount is added to the adjusted basis of such Series D Bonds to determine taxable gain or loss upon disposition (including sale, redemption, or payment on maturity) of such Series D Bonds. Owners of the Series D Bonds should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences of ownership of Series D Bonds with original issue discount, including the treatment of purchasers who do not purchase such Series D Bonds in the original offering to the public at the first price at which a substantial amount of such Series D Bonds is sold to the public. The Code imposes various restrictions, conditions and requirements relating to the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of interest on obligations such as the Series D Bonds. The Authority and the City haVe covenanted to comply with certain restrictions designed to insure that interest on the Series D Bonds will not be included in federal gross income. Failure to comply with these covenants may result in interest on the Series D Bonds being included in gross income for federal income tax purposes, possibly from the date of original issuance of the Series D Bonds. The opinion of Bond Counsel assumes compliance with these covenants. Bond Counsel has not undertaken to determine (or to inform any person) whether any actions taken (or not taken) or events occurring (or not occurring) after the date of issuance of the Series D Bonds may adversely affect the value of, or the tax status of interest on, the Series D Bonds. Further, no assurance can be given that pending or future legislation or amendments to the Code, if enacted into law, or any proposed legislation or amendments to the Code, will not adversely affect the value of, - 51 DOCSLA 1:320644.3 or the tax status of interest on, the Series D Bonds. Prospective owners of the Series D Bonds are urged to consult their own tax advisors with respect to proposals to restructure the federal income tax. Series D Bonds purchased, whether at original issuance or otherwise, for an amount greater than their principal amount payable 'at maturity (or, in some cases, at their earlier call date) ("Premium Bonds") will be treated as having amortizable bond premium. No deduction is allowable for the amortizable bond premium in the case of bonds, like the Premium Bonds, the interest on which is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes. However, a purchaser's basis in a Premium Bond and, under Treasury Regulations, the amount of tax exempt interest received, will be reduced by the amount of amortizable bond premium properly allocable to such purchaser'. Owners of Premium Bonds should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the proper treatment of amortizable bond premium in their particular circumstances. Certain requirements and procedures contained or referred to in the Indenture, the Fiscal Agent Agreement, the Tax Certificate, and other relevant documents may be changed and certain actions (including, without limitation, defeasance of the Series D Bonds) may be taken or omitted under the circumstances and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in such documents. Bond Counsel expresses no opinion as to any Series D Bond or the interest thereon if any such change occurs or action is taken or omitted upon the advice or approval of bond counsel other than Orrick, Herrin~on & Sutcliffe LLP. Although Bond Counsel is of the opinion that interest on the Series D Bonds is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes and is exempt from State of California personal income taxes, the ownership or disposition of, or the accrual or receipt of interest on, the Series D Bonds may otherwise affect an owner's federal or state tax liability. The nature and extent of these other tax consequences will depend upon the particular tax status of the owner or the owner's other items of income or deduction. Bond Counsel expresses no opinion regarding any such other tax consequences. No Litigation There is no proceeding or litigation now pending to restrain or enjoin the issuance, sale, execution or delivery of the Series D Bonds, or in any way contesting or affecting the validity of the Series D Bonds, the proceedings of the Authority taken with respect to the issuance or sale thereof, the pledge or application of any moneys or securities provided for the payment of the Series D Bonds, the existence or powers of the Authority or the title of any directors or officers of the Authority tO their respective positions. A certificate of the Authority to this effect will be delivered on the date of delivery of the Series D Bonds. Ratings It is expected that MoOdy's Investors Service and Standard & Poor's Ratings Services will assign ratings of "Aaa" and "AAA," respectively, to the Series D Bonds, with the understanding that, upon delivery of the Bonds, a policy insuring the payment when due of principal of and - 52 DOCSLA1:320644.3 interest on the Series D Bonds will be issued by the Bond Insurer. Such ratings reflect only the views of such organizations and any desired explanation of the significance of such ratings should be obtained from the rating agency furnishing the same, at the following addresses: Moody's Investors Services, Inc. 99 Church Street, New York, New York 10007; Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, 55 Water Street, New York, New York 10041. Generally, a rating agency bases its rating on the information and materials rum/shed to it and on investigations, studies and assumptions of its own. There is no assurance such ratings will continue for any given period of time or that such ratings will not be revised downward or withdrawn entirely by the rating agencies, if in the judgment of such rating agencies, circumstances so warrant. Any such downward revision or withdrawal of such ratings may have an adverse effect on the market price of the Series D Bonds.
