Installment Sale Agreement; b. Bond Purchase Agreement; and c. Preliminary Official Statement. I� ISSUANCE OF WATER REVENUE BONDS BY THE TUSTIN PUBLIC FINANCING AUTHORITY OCTOBER 1, 2013 PAGE 2 FISCAL IMPACT: The Bonds will have no financial impact on the City's General Fund or the TPFA, as all payment of principal and interest on the Bonds will be paid solely from the Water Enterprise Fund revenues collected from water customers. The issuance of the 2013 Bonds will result in approximately $1,045,000 average annual debt service payments. CORRELATION TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN: The issuance of the water revenue bonds correlates to the City's strategic plan for public safety and protection of assets to ensure Tustin is an attractive, safe and well maintained community in which people feel pride and for organizational excellence and customer service. BACKGROUND: The five year water rate structure adopted June 2010 set the rate increases to provide enough cash flow /revenues to provide funding for the completion for two phases of major infrastructure projects through the issuance of water revenue bonds; provide cash for pay as you go capital projects; and to increase reserves to a minimum level of 50% of annual operating expenses. The five year water rate structure is meeting the goals the City set. The 2011 water revenue bonds provided the funding for the first phase of major infrastructure projects which were replacement of the Rawlings Reservoir that was completed with the dedication ceremony being held September 19, 2013 and the drilling of the Edinger Avenue Water Well; the pay as you go capital fee has provided cash for small capital projects; and reserves are expected to be 50% of annual operating expenses by the end of fiscal year 2014/15. The City, working with its consultants, has determined that, due to prevailing financial market conditions, it is in the best interests of the City at this time to issue the 2013 Water Revenue Bonds. The $15.0 million 2013 Water Revenue Bonds will be used to fund the second phase of major infrastructure projects which are the replacement of the Simon Ranch Reservoir, Booster Pump Station and Pipeline Replacement Project and the Tustin Avenue Well Replacement Project. The proposed water bonds issue will be payable solely from the pledge of net revenues from the Water Enterprise Fund. The 2013 Water Revenue Bonds will mature in 2043, and the debt service will be wrapped around the debt service of the Water Fund's outstanding bonds to produce level debt service. Based on the current interest rates, the TPFA is proposing to issue approximately $15.0 million par amount of Bonds to fund the Simon Ranch Reservoir, Booster Pump Station and Pipeline Replacement Project and the Tustin Avenue Well Replacement Project. The City will be obtaining an underlying credit rating for the Bonds from Standard & Poor's. It is expected the credit rating from Standards & Poor's will be favorable and help the City obtain the best possible interest rate on the Bonds. The TPFA resolution being presented for approval authorizes the issuance of the Bonds and approves the form and authorizes execution of the related financing documents ISSUANCE OF WATER REVENUE BONDS BY THE TUSTIN PUBLIC FINANCING AUTHORITY OCTOBER 1, 2013 PAGE including a draft of an Official Statement that describes the terms of the Bonds.

The Bonds are special obligations of the Authority payable from the revenues (the "Revenues ") pledged under an indenture of trust, dated as of November 1, 2013 (the "Indenture "), by and between the Authority and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the "Trustee "), consisting primarily of installment payments (the "Installment Payments ") to be made by the City of Tustin (the "City ") under an installment sale agreement, dated as of November 1, 2013 (the "Installment Sale Agreement "), by and between the Authority and the City, as the purchase price for certain improvements (the "2013 Project ") to the City's municipal water enterprise (the "Enter- prise"). The Installment Payments are secured by a pledge of and lien on the net revenues of the Enter- prise (the "Net Revenues "). Capitalized terms used, but not otherwise defined herein, shall have the meanings assigned thereto asset forth in APPENDIX D— SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL LEGAL DOCUMENTS — Cert ain Definitions. The Authority The Authority was established on May 1, 1995, by the City and the Tustin Community Redevel- opment Agency (the "Agency "), to provide for the financing of public capital improvements by the City and the Agency. See "THE AUTHORITY." The City The City is located in Orange County (the "County "), approximately 41 miles south of the City of Los Angeles and approximately 90 miles north of the City of San Diego. Incorporated in 1927, the City operates as a general law city with a Council- Manager form of government. The Mayor is selected by the City Council from among its members. See APPENDIX A— GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE CITY OF TUSTIN. The Enterprise The Enterprise provides water service to most of the City as well as an area outside the City lim- its. The Enterprise was begun as Tustin Water Works, a privately owned water utility, and was acquired by the City in 1980. See "THE ENTERPRISE" herein. * Preliminary, subject to change. Authority for Issuance of the Bonds The Bonds are being issued pursuant to the provisions of Article 4 (commencing with section 6584) of Chapter 5 of Division 7 of Title 1 of the California Government Code, the Indenture and resolu- tions of the governing body of the Authority and of the City Council of the City adopted on October 1, 2013. Purpose of the Bonds The Bonds are being issued to (a) finance the 2013 Project, being the acquisition and construction of certain improvements and facilities to the Enterprise. and (b) to pay the costs of issuance of the Bonds. See "FINANCING PLAN." Security and Source of Repayment In accordance with the Installment Sale Agreement, the City is required to make Installment Payments to the Trustee for the account of the Authority. The Installment Payments are designed to be sufficient, in both time and amount, to pay, when due, the principal of, and interest on the Bonds. The City is also required to make additional payments in the amount of any taxes, assessments, insurance premiums, expenses of the Authority and the Trustee incidental to the sale and delivery of the Bonds, administrative costs or charges of the Authority and costs and expenses which the Authority may incur as a consequence of a default by the City. See APPENDIX D— SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL LEGAL DOCUMENTS — Installment Sale Agreement. The City's obligation to make the Installment Payments is a special obligation ofthe City payable solely from and secured by a pledge of and lien upon the Net Revenues of the Enterprise (as described in the section "SECURITY FOR THE BONDS "). Under no circumstances is the City required to advance any moneys derived from any source of income other than the Net Revenues nor are any other funds or property of the City liable for the payments of the Installment Payments. See "SECURITY FOR THE BONDS." The City's obligations under the Installment Sale Agreement will be on parity as to payment and security with the City's obligations with respect to an installment sale agreement (the " 2011 Installment Sale Agreement ") securing the Tustin Public Financing Authority Water Revenue Bonds, 2011 Series A, of which $20,760,000 is currently outstanding (the "2011 Bonds "), and an installment sale agreement (the "2012 Installment Sale Agreement ") securing the Tustin Public Financing Authority 2012 Refund- ing Water Revenue Bonds, of which $8,200,000 is currently outstanding (the "2012 Bonds "). A reserve fund will notbe funded for the Bonds. The reserve fund funded for the 2011 Bonds does not provide security for the 2012 Bonds or the Bonds. Redemption of the Bonds The Bonds are subject to redemption prior to their stated maturity dates, as provided herein. See "THE BONDS —Terms of Redemption." -2- Book -Entry Form The Bonds will be delivered in fully registered form only and, when issued and delivered, will be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York ( "DTC "). DTC will act as securities depository for the Bonds. Ownership interests in the Bonds may be purchased in denominations of $5,000 or any integral multiple thereof, in book-entry form only. Principal, premium, if any, and interest are payable directly to DTC by the Trustee.

The Annual Report and notices of enumerated events will be filed by the City with the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board. The spe- cific nature of the information to be contained in the Annual Report and any notices of enumerated events is summarized below under the caption "CONTINUING DISCLOSURE."

The covenants of the City in the Continuing Disclosure Certificate have been made in order to assist the Underwriter in complying with S.E.C. Rule 15c2- 12(b)(5). Tax Matters In the opinion of Quint & Thimmig LLP, Larkspur, California, Bond Counsel, subject to compli- ance by the Authority and the City with certain covenants, interest on the Bonds is excludable from gross income of the owners thereof for federal income tax purposes and is not included as an item of tax prefer- ence in computing the federal alternative minimum tax for individuals and corporations, but such inter- est is taken into account in computing an adjustment used in determining the federal alternative mini- mum tax for certain corporations. In addition, in the opinion of Bond Counsel, interest on the Bonds is exempt from personal income taxation imposed by the State of California. See "TAX MATTERS."

The City's obligations under the Installment Sale Agreement are secured by a pledge of and lien on Net Revenues on parity as to payment and security with the City's obligations under the 2011Install- ment Sale Agreement with respect to the 2011 Bonds and the 2012 Installment Sale Agreement with re- spect to the 2012 Bonds. The 2011 Installment Sale Agreement and the 2012 Installment Sale Agree- ment constitute Parity Obligations. Rate on Overdue Payments. In the event the City fails to make any of the payments required in the Installment Sale Agreement, the payment in default will continue as an obligation of the City until the amount in default is fully paid, and the City agrees to pay the same with interest thereon, from the date of default to the date of payment, at the rate often percent (10 %) per annum. Assignment. The City agrees that all Installment Payments have been assigned by the Authority to the Trustee in trust, pursuant to the Indenture, for the benefit of the Owners of the Bonds, and the City assents to such assignment. Application of Gross Revenues; Pledge and Application of Net Revenues Deposits Into Water Fund; Transfers to Make lnstallment Pay men ts. Pursuant to the Installment Sale Agreement, the City has covenanted to deposit all of the Gross Revenues, immediately upon receipt, in the Water Fund. -11- "Gross Revenues" means all gross charges received for, and all other gross income and revenues derived by the City from, the operation of the Enterprise or otherwise arising from the Enterprise, includ- ing but not limited to (a) all fees and charges received by the City for the services of the Enterprise, (b) charges received by the City for water connections, (c) capital charges, and (d) all receipts derived from the investment of such income or revenues, but excluding customer deposits. Upon receipt of Gross Revenues, the City will segregate such amounts as shall be estimated to be required to pay all Maintenance and Operation Costs for the period beginning on such date and ending on the next anticipated date of receipt of Gross Revenues. Amounts remaining on deposit in the Water Fund are Net Revenues. "Maintenance and Operation Costs" means (a) the reasonable and necessary costs of maintaining and operating the Enterprise, calculated based upon accounting principles consistently applied, includ- ing (among other things) the reasonable expenses of management, personnel, services, equipment, repair and other expenses necessary to maintain and preserve the Enterprise in good repair and working order, and reasonable amounts for administration, overhead, insurance, taxes (if any) and other similar costs, and (b) all costs of water purchased or otherwise acquired for delivery by the Enterprise (including any interim or renewed arrangement therefor), but excluding in all cases depreciation and obsolescence charges or reserves therefor and amortization of intangibles or other bookkeeping entries of a similar na- ture. "Net Revenues" means, for any period, an amount equal to all of the Gross Revenues received dur- ing such period minus the amount required to pay all Maintenance and Operation Costs becoming pay- able during such period. The City covenants and agrees in the Installment Sale Agreement that all Net Revenues will be held by the City in the Water Fund in trust for the benefit of the Trustee (as assignee of the rights of the Authority under the Installment Sale Agreement) and the Owners, and for the benefit of the owners of any Parity Obligations. Pledge of Net Revenues; Transfers. Under the Installment Sale Agreement, the Net Revenues are irrevocably pledged, charged and assigned to the punctual payment of the Installment Payments and all Parity Obligations and, except as otherwise provided in the Installment Sale Agreement, the Net Reve- nues may not be used for any other purpose so long as any of the Installment Payments or payments with respect to any Parity Obligations remain unpaid. Such pledge, charge and assignment constitutes a first lien on the Net Revenues for the payment of the Installment Payments and all Parity Obligations. On or before the fifth Business Day preceding each Interest Payment Date, commencing March 15, 2014, the City shall withdraw from the Water Fund (together with similar withdrawals from the Wa- ter Fund with respect to all Parity Obligations): (i) and transfer to the Trustee for deposit in the Bond Fund, an amount (other than amounts resulting from the prepayment of the Installment Payments and other than amounts re- quired for payment of principal of or interest on any Bonds which have matured but which have not been presented for payment), equal to the interest component of the Installment Payment and the interest component of any outstanding Parity Obligations coming due and payable on the next succeeding interest payment date, and the principal component of the Installment Payment and the principal component of any outstanding Parity Obligations coming due and payable on the next succeeding principal payment date, if any, provided that any amounts on deposit in the -12- Bond Fund, shall be credited against the City's obligation to make such deposits or transfers therein, (ii) and transfer to the Trustee for deposit in the reserve account with respect to the 2011 Bonds (and transfer on a parity to such similar funds or accounts established as reserve funds with respect to Parity Obligations such amounts as are required for the replenishment thereof), the amount, ifany, required toincrease the amount on deposit in the reserve account with respect to the 2011 Bonds to its reserve requirement, and amount, ifany, required to increase the amount on deposit in similar funds or accounts established as reserve funds with respect to Parity Obliga- tions, the amount, if any, required to increase the amount on deposit therein to the reserve re- quirement of such funds or account, (iii) and pay all other amounts, including Additional Payments, when and as due and payable under the Installment Sale Agreement and under any agreements relating to Parity Obli- gations, (iv) and pay all amounts, when and as due and payable with respect to any Subordinate Debt. Release from Lien. Following the transfers described above, excess Net Revenues shall be released from the lien ofthe Installment Sale Agreement and shall be available for any lawful purpose ofthe City. Special Obligation of the City; Obligations Absolute The City's obligation to pay the Installment Payments, the Additional Payments, any other amounts coming due and payable under the Installment Sale Agreement and payments with respect to Parity Obligations is a special obligation of the City limited solely to the Net Revenues. Under no circum- stances is the City required to advance moneys derived from any source of income other than Net Reve- nues and other sources specifically identified in the Installment Sale Agreement for the payment of the Installment Payments, the Additional Payments or payments with respect to Parity Obligations, nor will any other funds or property of the City be liable for the payment of the Installment Payments, the Addi- tional Payments or payments with respect to Parity Obligations and any other amounts coming due and payable under the Installment Sale Agreement. The obligations of the City to make the Installment Payments, the Additional Payments and payments with respect to Parity Obligations from Net Revenues and to perform and observe the other agreements contained in the Installment Sale Agreement and under agreements with respect to Parity Obligations are absolute and unconditional and are not subject to any defense or any right of setoff, coun- terclaim or recoupment arising out of any breach of the City, the Authority or the Trustee of any obliga- tion to the City or otherwise with respect to the Enterprise, whether under the Installment Sale Agree- ment or otherwise, or out of indebtedness or liability at any time owing to the City by the Authority or the Trustee. Until such time as all of the Installment Payments, all of the Additional Payments and all other amounts coming due and payable under the Installment Sale Agreement and payments with respect to Parity Obligations shall have been fully paid or prepaid, the City (a) will not suspend or discontinue pay- ment of any Installment Payments, Additional Payments, payments with respect to Parity Obligations or such other amounts, (b) will perform and observe all other agreements contained in the Installment Sale Agreement and under any agreements with respect to Parity Obligations, and (c) will not terminate the Installment Sale Agreement or agreements with respect to Parity Obligations for any cause, including, without limiting the.generality of the foregoing, the occurrence of any acts or circumstances that may -13- constitute failure of consideration, eviction or constructive eviction, destruction of or damage to the En- terprise, sale of the Enterprise, the taking by eminent domain of title to or temporary use of any compo- nent of the Enterprise, commercial frustration of purpose, any change in the tax law or other laws of the United States of America or the State or any political subdivision of either thereof or any failure of the Authority or the Trustee to perform and observe any agreement, whether express or implied, or any duty, liability or obligation arising out of or connected with the Indenture, the Installment Sale Agreement or agreements with respect to Parity Obligations. Nothing contained in the Installment Sale Agreement shall be construed torelease the Authority or the Trustee from the performance of any of the agreements on its part contained in the Installment Sale Agreement or in the Indenture, and in the event the Authority or the Trustee shall fail to perform any such agreements, the City may institute such action against the Authority or the Trustee as the City may deem necessary to compel performance so long as such action does not abrogate the obligations of the City contained in the preceding paragraph. The City may, however, at the City's own cost and expense and in the City's own name or in the name of the Authority prosecute or defend any action or proceeding or take any other action involving third persons which the City deems reasonably necessary in order to secure or protect the City's rights under, the Installment Sale Agreement and in such event the Author- ity hereby agrees to cooperate fully with the City and to take such action necessary to effect the substitu- tion of the City for the Authority in such action or proceeding if the City shall so request. Rate Covenant The City covenants under the Installment Sale Agreement to fix, prescribe, revise and collect rates, fees and charges for the services and facilities furnished by the Enterprise during each Fiscal Year which (together with other funds accumulated from Gross Revenues and which are lawfully available to the City for payment of any of the following amounts during such Fiscal Year) are at least sufficient, after making allowances for contingencies and error in the estimates, to pay the following amounts: (a) all Maintenance and Operation Costs estimated by the City to become due and payable in such Fiscal Year; (b) The Installment Payments and all payments required with respect to Parity Obligations; (c) all other payments required for compliance with the Installment Sale Agreement and the in- struments pursuant to which any Parity Obligations shall have been issued; and (d) all payments required to meet any other obligations of the City which are charges, liens, en- cumbrances upon or payable from the Gross Revenues or the Net Revenues. In addition, the City covenants under the Installment Sale Agreement to fix, prescribe, revise and collect rates, fees and charges for the services and facilities furnished by the Enterprise during each Fiscal Year, together with other funds accumulated in the City's Water Fund and which are lawfully available to the City for payment of the debt service on the Bonds, which are sufficient to yield Net Reve- nues, at least equal to one hundred twenty percent (120 %) of the amounts payable under the preceding paragraph (b) in such Fiscal Year. -14- Limitations on Future Obligations Secured by Net Revenues. No Obligations Superior to Installment Payments. In order to protect further the availability of the Net Revenues and the security for the Installment Payments and any Parity Obligations, the City hereby agrees that the City shall not, so long as the Installment Payments are not fully paid or any Parity Obliga- tions are outstanding, issue or incur any obligations payable from Net Revenues superior to the Install- ment Payments or such Parity Obligations. Parity Obligations. The City further covenants under the Installment Sale Agreement that it will not issue or incur any Parity Obligations unless Net Revenues, calculated on sound accounting principles, as shown by the books of the City for the latest Fiscal Year or any more recent twelve (12) month period selected by the City ending not more than sixty (60) days prior to the adoption of the resolution pursuant to which instrument such Parity Obligations are issued or incurred, as shown by the books of the City, plus, at the option of the City, the additional allowance described below, shall have amounted to at least 1.20 times Maximum Aggregate Annual Debt Service immediately subsequent to the incurring of such additional obligations; provided, hon:ever, that the City may at any time incur Parity Obligations without compliance with the foregoing conditions if the Annual Debt Service for each Fiscal Year during which such Parity Obligations are Outstanding will not be increased by reason of the incurrence of such Parity Obligations. Either or both of the following items maybe added to such Net Revenues for the purpose ofapply- ing the restriction contained herein: (A) An allowance for revenues from any additions to or improvements or extensions of the Enter- prise to be constructed with the proceeds of such Parity Obligations, and also for Net Revenues from any such additions, improvements or extensions which have been constructed from any source of funds but which, during all or any part of such Fiscal Year, were not in service, all in an amount equal to 70% of the estimated additional average annual Net Revenues to be derived from such additions, improvements and extensions to be constructed during the first 36 -month period following issuance of the proposed Parity Obligations, all as shown by the certificate or opinion of a qualified independent consultant employed by the City, may be added to such Net Revenues for the purpose of applying the restriction contained in this paragraph (ii), and /or (B) An allowance for earnings arising from any increase in the charges made for service from the Enterprise which has become effective prior to the incurring of such Parity Obligations but which, during all or any part of such Fiscal Year, was not in effect, in an amount equal to 100% of the amount by which the Net Revenues would have been increased if such increase in charges had been in effect during the whole of such Fiscal Year and any period prior to the incurring of such additional obligations, as shown by the certificate or opinion of qualified independent consultant employed by the City. Subordinate Debt. The City further covenants under the Installment Sale Agreement that the City will not issue or incur any Subordinate Obligations unless Net Revenues, calculated on sound ac- counting principles, as shown by the books of the City for the latest Fiscal Year or any more recent twelve (12) month period selected by the City ending not more than sixty (60) days prior to the adoption of the resolution pursuant to which instrument such Subordinate Obligations are issued or incurred, as shown by the books of the City shall, after deducting all amounts required for the payment of the Bonds and any Parity Obligations, have amounted to at least 1.0 times the sum of the maximum annual debt service on all Subordinate Obligations outstanding immediately subsequent to the incurring of such additional obliga- tions. An allowance for earnings arising from any increase in the charges made for service from the Enter- -15- prise which has become effective prior to the incurring of such additional obligations but which, during all or any part of such Fiscal Year, was not in effect, may be added in an amount equal to 100% of the amount by which the Net Revenues would have been increased if such increase in charges had been in effect dur- ing the whole of such Fiscal Year and any period prior to the incurring of such additional obligations, as shown by the certificate or opinion of qualified independent consultant employed by the City. Additional Payments In addition to the Installment Payments, the City covenants under the Installment Sale Agree- ment to pay when due all costs and expenses incurred by the Authority to comply with the provisions of the Indenture, including without limitation all Costs of Issuance (to the extent not paid from amounts on deposit in the Costs of Issuance Fund), and to pay to the Trustee upon request therefor all compensation for fees due to the Trustee and all of its costs and expenses payable as a result of the performance of and compliance with its duties under the Installment Sale Agreement or under the Indenture or any related documents, together with all amounts required to indemnify the Trustee pursuant to the Installment Sale Agreement and the Indenture, and all costs and expenses of attorneys, auditors, engineers and ac- countants. Such rights of the Trustee and the obligations of the City shall survive the termination of the Installment Sale Agreement. Flow of Funds No later than the first Business Day preceding each date on which principal of or interest on the Bonds becomes due and payable, the Trustee shall transfer from the Bond Fund and deposit into the fol- lowing respective accounts, the following amounts in the following order of priority, the requirements of each such account (including the making up of any deficiencies in any such account resulting from lack of Revenues sufficient to make any earlier required deposit) at the time of deposit to be satisfied before any transfer is made to any account subsequent in priority: (a) The Trustee will deposit in the Interest Account an amount required to cause the aggregate amount on deposit in the Interest Account to be at least equal to the amount of interest becoming due and payable on such date on all Bonds and Parity Obligations then Outstanding. (b) The Trustee will deposit in the Principal Account an amount required to cause the aggregate amount on deposit in the Principal Account to equal the principal amount of the Bonds and Parity obliga- tions coming due and payable on such date. THE CITY Information with respect to the City, including financial information and certain economic and demographic information relating to the City is provided in APPENDIX A— GENERAL INFORMA- TION ABOUT THE CITY OF TUSTIN. Also, see APPENDIX B— COMPREHENSIVE ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE CITY FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2012. THE AUTHORITY The Authority is a joint exercise of powers authority duly organized and existing under and pur- suant to that certain Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement, dated May 1, 1995, by and between the City and the Agency. The Authority is authorized pursuant to Article 4 (commencing with section 6584) of the -16- Act to borrow money for the purpose of financing the acquisition of bonds, notes and other obligations of, or for the purpose of making loans to, public entities, including the City and the Agency and to provide financing for public capital improvements for lease to public entities, including the City and the Agency. The members of the City Council of the City also sit as the Board of Directors of the Authority. Since the Agency has been dissolved, the membership of the Authority may need to be revised when outstanding bonds of the Authority have matured or have been redeemed. The Authority has covenanted in the In- denture that it will take or cause to be taken all actions reasonably necessary to continue its existence un- til such time as the Bonds have been paid in full, including but not limited to the addition or substitution of one or more new members. THE ENTERPRISE History The Enterprise was begun as Tustin Water Works, a privately owned water utility, and was ac- quired by the City in 1980. The City has operated the water system since that time. Existing Facilities The current facilities of the Enterprise include transmission and distribution lines, storage reser- voirs, wells, pump stations, treatment facilities, imported water turnouts and emergency interconnec- tions with other water agencies. The City has two treatment plants, Main Street Treatment Plant and the 17th Street Desalter. The two treatment facilities remove excess nitrates, perchlorates and total dissolved solids from the groundwater underlying the service area. These facilities help the City in its goal of increasing the use of local groundwater and reducing reliance on more expensive imported water. Management The Water Service Division (the "Division ") is a division of the City's Public Works Depart- ment. The Division staff includes twenty -six (26) individuals performing administrative, engineering, construction and maintenance, water production, water treatment, water quality, preventative mainte- nance, and customer service activities. Service Area The Enterprise serves approximately 69,010 water consumers (residential and commercial) through 14,146 water service connections. Approximately 9,070 (64 %) of the connections are within a five square mile area within the City limits and the remaining 5,076 (36%) of the connections are located within a 3.4 square mile area to the north of the City limits, within the unincorporated area of the County. The service area is fully developed and the number of water customers has been essentially stable since 1980. No significant growth within the service area is anticipated. The areas of the City not within the Enterprise's service area include the Tustin Ranch devel- opment located on the eastern side of the City, and the Tustin Legacy development, formerly the Tustin Marine Corps Air Station. These areas are, or will be served by the Irvine Ranch Water District, a public agency. -17- Water Supply The Enterprise has two sources of water: imported water and groundwater. In a typical year, about 15 percent of the Enterprise's water supply is imported, all from the Met- ropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD). MWD imports water from the Colorado River and the State Water Project into the Southern California area where it is treated and distributed to its member agencies. The Enterprise purchases treated imported water from East Orange County Water District, which is a member agency of Municipal Water District of Orange County (MWDOC), which in turn is a member agency of MWD. Imported water reaches the City through three (3) connections to the MWD system. The East Orange County Water District (EOC WD) can provide water to the City at six locations along the north- ern extents of the City's service area. These connections can supply up to 6,500 gallons per minute, or 9.36 million gallons per day. An additional connection is located south of the I -5 Freeway near Newport Avenue, and can supply up to 4,500 gallons per minute, or 6.48 million gallons per day. The remaining 85 percent of the Enterprise's water supply is pumped by Enterprise-owned wells from groundwater aquifers managed by the Orange County Water District (OCWD) underlying the City and the majority ofcentral and western Orange County. The Enterprise's Water Master Plan for a relievable water supply mix includes developing suffi- cient groundwater production capacity to pump to the basin production percentage set by OCWD. The Enterprise's groundwater pumping is affected by policies of OCWD, including the setting of basin pro- duction percentages and basin equity assessments. Each year, OCWD sets a Basin Production Percentage ( "BPP "). The BPP targets the amount of groundwater, as a percentage of the total water demands, to be produced from the Orange County groundwater basin during the year. Groundwater producing agencies within OCWD pay a Replenishment Assessment established annually by OCWD, on each acre foot of groundwater produced within the BPP. OCWD also sets a Basin Equity Assessment ( "BEA "). The BEA is a surcharge to discourage, yet still allow for, the production of groundwater in excess of the BPP. One of the Enterprise's operating objectives is to produce the maximum amount of groundwater within the BPP and to avoid producing in excess of such maximum in order to avoid paying the BEA. In Fiscal Year 2012, the Enterprise did not pay a BEA to OCWD. For the year ending June 30, 2013, the BPP is 68% and OCWD has set the BPP for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2014 at 70 %. The Enterprise pays OCWD a Replenishment Assessment fee of $276 per acre foot ofgroundwater pumped up to the BPP. Groundwater is produced from the Enterprise's thirteen (13) wells. When operated at full capac- ity, they can produce 13,000 gallons per minute or up to 18.7 million gallons ofwater in a twenty -four hour period. Eight (8) of the wells can pump groundwater directly into the distribution system without any need for treatment. A new groundwater well has been drilled (August 2013) and will be equipped and estimated to be operational by 2015. This new well will add an additional 1,700 gallons per minute to the Distribution system. The groundwater from the remaining five (5) wells is treated at one of the Enter- prise's two treatment facilities before being pumped into the distribution system. The groundwater pro- duced by both the treatment facilities is completely exempt from the BPP and BEA by contract with OCWD. One of the Enterprise's treatment facilities is a 3.0 million gallon per day reverse osmosis plant, and the other is a 2.0 million gallon per day reverse osmosis and ion exchange plant. Both facilities remove -18- high nitrate and Perchlorate concentrations from the groundwater that would otherwise exceed the United States Environmental Protection Agency and the California Department of Health Services maximum contaminant level regulations. Through the construction of additional well facilities, which are included in the capital im- provement program, the Enterprise anticipates reducing its reliance on imported water from current lev- els to maintain groundwater reliability, and replace aging infrastructure. Due to restrictions on the amount of groundwater that can be pumped from the groundwater basin as compared to total system de- mand, the Enterprise does not expect to fully eliminate its reliance on the less reliable and more expen- sive imported water. The table below is a summary of the Enterprise's sources of water supply for the last five fiscal years assuming a normal water year. Source: City of Tustin Finance Dept.

The highest recent daily demand was 18 million gallons. Supply and use varies due to changes in weather patterns, tempera- tures and rainfall. The following table shows the water use for the Fiscal Year ended June 30, 2013. Consumption is shown in hundred cubic feet (hcl), which is the Enterprise's basic billing unit that appears on the bi- monthly water bills.

The destruction and reconstruction of the Rawlings Reservoir will increase the storage capacity to 13.8 million gallons in order to enhance operating, fire, and emergency storage requirements, as discussed in the section titled "Capital Improvement Program." It is anticipated that the reservoir will be opera- tional in September 2013. Distribution System The water distribution system has three pressure zones that consist of over 170 miles oftransmis- sion and distribution mains, 2,020 fire hydrants, four (4) booster stations and four (4) emergency inter- connections with neighboring water agencies. Budgetary Process Prior to July 1 of each calendar year, the City Council adopts a budget for the forthcoming fiscal year covering the anticipated revenues and expenses ofthe Enterprise. -21- Rate Setting Process The water rates for the Enterprise are set by the City Council and are not subject to review by any state or local government agency. In the past, changes have been enacted by the City Council based upon recommendations of staff and independent consultants. See "CONSTITUTIONAL LIMITATIONS ON APPROPRIATIONS AND FEES - Proposition 218." Rates The water rate structure consists of meter charges (based on meter size), capital replacement charges (based on meter size), consumption charges, and pass- through charges. Meter charges are de- signed to generate about one -third of the annual revenue. This approach is designed to reduce fluctua- tions in water revenue and to recover a portion of fixed costs, such as debt service. Most single- family resi- dential customers have a 5/8 -inch meter, and it is the most common meter size in the water system. Volume charges consist of ascending block rates per hcf of water consumption. The rate structure was designed to recover costs associated with purchasing additional water as the customer's water use increases. Seven block rates are employed in ten (10) hcf increments for single family, commercial, and industrial customers and in eight (8) hcf increments for multi- family customers. The pass- through charge is designed to offset the increasing third part costs. Imported water rates are established by MWD and additional fees are added to those rates by wholesale water purveyors, MWDOC and EOCWD. Ground water rates are established by OCWD and electricity rates are estab- lished by Southern California Edison. The pass- through allows the Enterprise to assess and recoup the costs of providing water beyond current budget appropriation in case of unexpected supply cost increase. The pass- through is restricted to-not- exceed 7% of the annual water charges to a typical residential user in any given fiscal year. A typical single family residential customer with a 5/8 -inch meter using 40 hcf of water in a bi- monthly period has a current bi- monthly bill of $105.90. The most recent revision of the rate structure took place in June 2010, with new five year rates beginning as of July 1, 2010. The following table outlines the present rate structure for domestic and commercial uses, including approved increases. No further action is required of the City Council for each increase to become effective.

Post Employment Healthcare Benefits Plan Description. The City provides other postemployment benefits (OPEB) to retired employees in the form of a contribution towards their medical premiums under the PERS health plan, a single - employer deferred benefit plan which provides medical insurance benefits to eligible retirees in accor- dance with various labor agreements. Survivor benefits are not provided. The City's OPEB plan does not issue a separate stand -alone report. Eligibility. Employees hired prior to July 1, 2011 are eligible for retiree health benefits if they retire from the City on or after age 50 (unless disabled), with five years of service and are eligible for a PERS pen- sion and are enrolled in a PERS retiree health plan. Employees hired after June 30, 2011 are eligible for retiree health benefits if they retire from the City on or after age 50 (unless disabled), with ten years of service and are eligible for a PERS pension and are enrolled in a PERS retiree health plan. The benefits are available only to employees who retire from the City.

See APPENDIX B— COMPREHENSIVE ANNUAL FI- NANCIAL REPORT OF THE CITY FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2012 for more in- formation relating to the City's post - employment healthcare benefits. Funding Status and Progress. As of June 30, 2011 the most recent valuation date, the actuarial ac- crued liability for benefits was $9.8 million, and the actuarial value of assets was $0, resulting in an un- funded actuarial accrued liability (UAAL) of $9.8 million and a funded ration (actuarial value of assets as a percentage of the actuarial accrued liability) of 0 %. The covered payroll (annual payroll of active em- ployees was $21.52 million and the ration ofthe UAAL to the covered payroll was 45.6 %. Actuarial valua- -35- tions of an ongoing plan involve estimates of the value of reported amounts and assumptions about the probability of occurrence of events far into the future. Examples include assumptions about future em- ployment, mortality, and the healthcare cost trend. Amounts determined regarding the funded status of the plan and the annual required contributions of the employer are subject to continual revision as actual results are compared with past expectation and new estimates are made about the future. The schedule of funding progress, presented as required supplementary information following the notes to the financial statements, presents multi -year trend information about whether the actuarial value of plan assets is in- creasing or decreasing over time relative to the actuarial accrued liabilities for the benefits. Risk Management The City uses a combination of insured and self - insured programs to finance its property and casualty risk. The City is self - insured for worker's compensation, automotive, and general liability risks. Excess liability coverage for the City's self - insurance retention of $250,000 per occurrence is provided through a risk sharing pool, the California Insurance Pool Authority (CIPA). The CIPA provides excess liability coverage above $2,000,000 per occurrence and $40,000,000 annual aggregate. The City's self - insurance retention limit is $400,000 per occurrence for worker's compensation claims. Worker's com- pensation claims which exceed the self - insurance retention are insured by CIPA up to the California statutory limit for worker's compensation. Property and employment practices liability risk are financed through insurance contracts and have various limits and deductibles. The City is a member of CIPA in order to jointly purchase insurance coverage and to share costs for professional risk management, claim administration, and group purchasing of insurance products with ten other Orange County cities. Members may be assessed the difference between the funds available and the $40,000,000 annual aggregate in proportion to their annual premium. CIPA uses independent actu- aries and underwriters to determine premiums and help set insurance limits and deductible levels. The pool is managed by all independent general manager and contracted legal advisers. Two in- ternal subcommittees are made up of City members to provide direction on underwriting and claims ac- tivities. The Governing Board of CIPA is comprised of one member from each participating City and is responsible for the selection of the independent general manager, legal counsel, and electing subcommit- tee members. The financial statements of CIPA are available at the administrative office located at 240 Newport Center Drive, Suite 210, Newport Beach, California. The government retains a risk of loss, due to the fact that actual losses may exceed estimated claims or coverage amounts. Settled claims have not exceeded any of the City's coverage amounts in any of the last three fiscal years, and there were no reductions in the City's coverage during the year ended June 30, 2013. At June 30, 2013, estimated claims payable of $4,461,120, which includes a provision for incurred but not reported claims and loss adjustment expenses, are reported as a long -term liability. INVESTMENT OF CITYFUNDS Revenues collected by the City will be held and invested by the City in accordance with the pro- visions ofthe Indenture. Funds held by the City, including Enterprise moneys, are invested in accordance with the City's Statement of Investment Policy (the "Investment Policy ") prepared by the Finance Director as author- ized by section 53601 of the Government Code of California. The Investment Policy is submitted to the -36- City Council annually. The Investment Policy allows for the purchase of a variety of securities and pro- vides for limitations as to exposure, maturity and rating which vary with each security type. The compo- sition of the portfolio will change over time as old investments mature, or are sold, and as new invest- ments are made. Invested funds are managed to insure preservation of capital through high quality in- vestments, maintenance of liquidity and then yield. Further, operating funds may not be invested in any investment with a maturity greater than five years. The City has never invested in derivatives or reverse repurchase agreements and such investments and instruments are not allowed by City policy. For more information about the City's investment policy, see APPENDIX C —CITY INVEST- MENT POLICY. CONSTITUTIONAL LIMITATIONS ON APPROPRIATIONS AND FEES Under the California Constitution, the power of initiative is reserved tothe voters for the purpose of enacting statutes and constitutional amendments. In the past, the voters have exercised this power from time to time, including through the adoption of Propositions 13 and 218. From time totime other State and local initiative measures could be adopted, affecting the ability ofthe City to increase revenues and to increase appropriations. Article XIIIA On June 6, 1978, California voters approved Proposition 13, which added Article XIIIA to the California Constitution ( "Article XIIIA"). Article XIIIA limits the maximum ad valorem tax on real property to 1% of full cash value thereof, except that additional ad valorem taxes may be levied to pay debt service on indebtedness approved by voters prior to July 1, 1978 and (as a result of an amendment to Arti- cle XIIIA approved by California voters on June 3, 1986) on bonded indebtedness for the acquisition or im- provement of real property which has been approved on or after July 1, 1978 by two-thirds of the voters vot- ing on such indebtedness. Article XIIIA defines full cash value to mean "the County Assessor's valuation of real property as shown on the 1975 -76 tax bill under "full cash value," or, thereafter, the appraised value of real property when purchased, newly constructed, or a change in ownership has occurred after the 1975 assessment." This full cash value may be increased at a rate not to exceed 2% per year to account for inflation. Article XIIIA has subsequently been amended to permit reduction of the full cash value based in the event of declining property values caused by damage, destruction, or other factors and to provide that there would be no increase in the full cash value base in the event of reconstruction of property damaged or destroyed in a disaster and in other minor or technical ways. Article XI]III Article XIIIB of the California State Constitution limits the annual appropriations of the State and of any city, county, school district, authority or other political subdivision of the State to the level of appropriations of the particular governmental entity for the prior fiscal year, as adjusted for changes in the cost of living and population. The "base year" for establishing such appropriations limit is the 1978 -79 fiscal year and the limit is to be adjusted annually to reflect changes in population and consumer prices. Adjustments in the appropriations limit of an entity may also be made if (i) the financial responsibility for a service is transferred to another public entity or to a private entity, (ii) the financial sources for the pro- -37- vision of services is transferred from taxes to other revenues, or (iii) the voters of the entity approve a change in the limit fora period oftime not to exceed four years. Appropriations subject to Article MllB generally include the proceeds of taxes levied by the State or other entity of local government, exclusive of certain State subventions and refunds of taxes. "Proceeds of taxes" include, but are not limited to, all tax revenues and the proceeds to an entity of gov- ernment from (i) regulatory licenses, user charges, and user fees (but only to the extent such proceeds ex- ceed the cost of providing the service or regulation), and (ii) the investment of tax revenues. Article XQIB includes a requirement that if an entity's revenues in any year exceed the amounts permitted to be spent, the excess would have to be returned by revising tax rates or fee schedules over the subsequent two years. Certain expenditures are excluded from the appropriations limit including payments of indebtedness existing or legally authorized as of January 1, 1979, or of bonded indebtedness thereafter approved by the voters and payments required to comply with court or federal mandates which without discretion require an expenditure for additional services or which unavoidably make the providing of existing services more costly. Proposition 218 General. On November 5, 1996, California voters approved Proposition 218, the so-called "Right to Vote on Taxes Act." Proposition 218 added Articles XIIIC and MID to the State Constitution, which affect the ability of local governments to levy and collect both existing and future taxes, assessments, and property- related fees and charges. Proposition 218, which generally became effective on November 6, 1996, changed, among other things, the procedure for the imposition of any new or increased property - related "fee" or "charge," which is defined as "any levy other than an ad valorem tax, a special tax or an assessment, imposed by a [local government] upon a parcel or upon a person as an incident of property ownership, including user fees or charges for a property related service" (and referred to in this section as a "property- related fee or charge "). Specifically, under Article MID, before a municipality may impose or increase any property - related fee or charge, the entity must give written notice to the record owner of each parcel of land af- fected by that fee or charge. The municipality must then hold a hearing upon the proposed imposition or increase at least 45 days after the written notice is mailed, and, if majority of the property owners of the identified parcels present written protests against the proposal, the municipality may not impose or in- crease the property- related fee or charge. Further, under Article )MID, revenues derived from a property - related fee or charge may not ex- ceed the funds required to provide the "property- related service" and the entity may not use such fee or charge for any purpose other than that for which it imposed the fee or charge. The amount of a property - related fee or charge may not exceed the proportional cost of the service attributable to the parcel, and no property - related fee or charge may be imposed for a service unless that service is actually used by, or is immediately available to, the owner ofthe property in question. In addition, Article XIIIC provides that "the initiative power shall not be prohibited or otherwise limited in matters of reducing or repealing any local tax, assessment, fee or charge. The power ofinitiative to affect local taxes, assessments, fees and charges shall be applicable to all local governments and neither the Legislature nor any local government charter shall impose a signature requirement higher than that applicable to statewide statutory initiatives." -38- Judicial Interpretation of Proposition 118. After Proposition 218 was enacted in 1996, appellate court cases and an Attorney General opinion initially indicated that fees and charges levied for water and wastewater services would not be considered property - related fees and charges, and thus not subject to the requirements of Article XIIID regarding notice, hearing and protests in connection with any increase in the fees and charges being imposed. However, three recent cases have held that certain types of water and wastewater charges could be subject to the requirements of Proposition 218 under certain circum- stances. In Richmond P. Shasta Community Services District (9 Cal. Rptr. 3rd 121), the California Supreme Court addressed the applicability of the notice, hearing and protest provisions of Article XIIID to certain charges related to water service. In Richmond, the Court held that connection charges are not subject to Proposition 218. The Court also indicated in dictum that a fee for ongoing water service through an exist- ing connection could, under certain circumstances, constitute a property- related fee and charge, with the result that a local government imposing such a fee and charge must comply with the notice, hearing and protest requirements of Article XIIID. In Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association P. City offresno (March 23, 2005), the California Court of Appeal, Fifth District, concluded that water, sewer and trash fees are property - related fees subject to Proposition 218 and a municipality must comply with Article XIIID before imposing or increasing such fees. The California Supreme Court denied the City of Fresno's petition for review of the Court of Ap- peal's decision on June 15, 2005. In July 2006 the California Supreme Court, in Bighorn - Desert View Water Agency v. Vvjil (39 Cal. 4th 205), addressed the validity of a local voter initiative measure that would have (a) reduced a water agency's rates for water consumption (and other water charges), and (b) required the water agency to obtain voter approval before increasing any existing water rate, fee, or charge, or imposing any new water rate, fee, or charge. The court adopted the position indicated by its statement in Richmond that a public water agency's charges for ongoing water delivery are "fees and charges" within the meaning of Article UID, and went on to hold that charges for ongoing water delivery are also "fees" within the meaning of Article X1IIC's mandate that the initiative power of the electorate cannot be prohibited or limited in matters of reducing or repealing any local tax, assessment, fee or charge. Therefore, the court held, Arti- cle XIIIC authorizes local voters to adopt an initiative measure that would reduce or repeal a public agency's water rates and other water charges. (However, the court ultimately ruled in favor of the water agency and held that the entire initiative measure was invalid on the grounds that the second part of the initiative measure, which would have subjected future water rate increases to prior voter approval, was not supported by Article )UIIC and was therefore invalid.) The court in Bighorn specifically noted that it was not holding that the initiative power is free of all limitations; the court stated that it was not determining whether the electorate's initiative power is subject to the statutory provision requiring that water service charges be set at a level that will pay for op- erating expenses, provide for repairs and depreciation of works, provide a reasonable surplus for improve- ments, extensions, and enlargements, pay the interest on any bonded debt, and provide a sinking or other fund for the payment of the principal of such debt as it may become due. Current Practice Regarding Rates and Charges. The City's practice has been to provide public no- tice of proposed water rate increases through means that include, among others, holding informational presentations at community group meetings, mailings to residential and commercial customers of public hearings on rate increases, and press releases and media campaigns regarding rate increases, followed by -39- public hearings conducted by the City Council. The most recent rate increase was enacted by the City in strict compliance with the procedures mandated by Proposition 218 and Bighorn. Conclusion. It is not possible to predict how courts will further interpret Article XIIIC and Arti- cle MID in future judicial decisions, and what, if any, further implementing legislation will be enacted. Under the Bighorn case, local voters could adopt an initiative measure that reduces or repeals the City's rates and charges, though it is not clear whether (and California courts have not decided whether) any such reduction or repeal by initiative would be enforceable in a situation in which such rates and charges are pledged to the repayment of bonds or other indebtedness. There can be no assurance that the courts will not further interpret, or the voters will not amend, Article XIIIC and Article XIIID to limit the abil- ity of local agencies to impose, levy, charge and collect increased fees and charges for wastewater, or to call into question previously adopted wastewater rate increases. Effect of Proposition 218 on the City; Possible Limitations on Enforcement Remedies. The general financial condition of the City may be affected by provisions of Article XIIIC and Ar- ticle XIIID. In particular, provisions of Article XIIIC (i) require taxes for general governmental purposes to be approved by a majority vote and taxes for specific purposes, even if deposited into the General Fund, to be approved by two-thirds vote, (ii) require any general purpose tax which the City imposed, extended or increased, without voter approval, after December 31, 1994, to be approved by majority vote on Novem- ber 5, 1998 and (iii) provide that all taxes, assessments, fees and charges are subject to reduction or repeal at any time through the initiative process, subject to overriding constitutional principles relating to the impairment of contracts. Provisions of Article XIIID that affect the ability of the City to fund certain serv- ices or programs that it may be required or choose to fund include (i) adding notice, hearing, protest and, in some cases, voter approval requirements to impose, increase or extend certain assessments, fees and charges and (ii) adding stricter requirements for finding individualized benefits associated with such lev- ies. The ability ofthe City to comply with its covenants under the Installment Sale Agreement and to generate Net Revenues sufficient to pay the Installment Payments and, therefore, the principal of and interest on the Bonds may be adversely affected by actions and events outside of the control of the City and may be adversely affected by actions taken (or not taken) under Article MIC or Article XIIID by vot- ers, property owners, taxpayers or payers of assessments, fees and charges. Furthermore, any remedies available to the owners ofthe Bonds upon the occurrence ofan event of default under the Installment Sale Agreement are in many respects dependent upon judicial actions which are often subject to discretion and delay and could prove both expensive and time consuming to obtain. In addition to the possible limi- tations on the ability of the City to comply with its covenants under the Installment Sale Agreement, the rights and obligations under the Bonds and the Indenture may be subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reor- ganization, arrangement, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium and other laws relating to or affecting creditors' rights, to the application of equitable principles, to the exercise of judicial discretion in appro- priate cases and to limitations on legal remedies against cities in the State of California. Based on the foregoing, in the event the City fails to comply with its covenants under the Install- ment Sale Agreement, including its covenants to generate sufficient Net Revenues, as a consequence of the application of Article XIIIC and Article MID, or to pay principal of or interest on the Bonds, there can be no assurance that available remedies will be adequate to fully protect the interests of the holders of the Bonds. -40- Proposition 26 On November 2, 2010, State voters approved Proposition 26 which amended certain sections of Article XIIIC. The proposition attempts to define "tax" as used within Article XIIIC as "any levy, charge, or exaction of any kind imposed by a local government, except the following: (1) a charge imposed for a specific benefit conferred or privilege granted directly to the payor that is not provided to those not charged, and which does not exceed the reasonable costs to the local government of conferring the benefit or granting the privilege; (2) a charge imposed for a specific government service or product provided di- rectly to the payor that is not provided to those not charged, and which does not exceed the reasonable costs to the local government of providing the service or product; (3) a charge imposed for the reasonable regulatory costs to a local government for issuing licenses and permits, performing investigations, inspec- tions, and audits, enforcing agricultural marketing orders, and the administrative enforcement and adju- dication thereof; (4) a charge imposed for entrance to or use of local government property, or the pur- chase, rental, or lease of local government property; (5) a fine, penalty, or other monetary charge imposed by the judicial branch of government or a local government, as a result of a violation of law; (6) a charge imposed as a condition of property development; and (7) assessments and property- related fees imposed in accordance with the provisions ofArticle )III D." The local government bears the burden of proving by a preponderance of the evidence that a levy, charge, or other exaction is not a tax, that the amount is no more than necessary to cover the reasonable costs of the governmental activity, and that the manner in which those costs are allocated to a payor bear a fair or reasonable relationship to the payor's burdens on, or benefits received from, the governmental activity. The foregoing discussion of Proposition 218 and Proposition 26 should not be considered an ex- haustive or authoritative treatment of the provisions of such propositions or the possible effects ofProposi- tion 218 and Proposition 26. Interim rulings, final decisions, legislative proposals and legislative enact- ments affecting Proposition 218 and Proposition 26 may impact the City's ability to make debt service payments on the Bonds. The City does not expect to be in a position to control the consideration or dispo- sition of these issues and cannot predict the timing or outcome of any judicial or legislative activity re- lated to these issues. Future Initiatives Articles XIIIC, )IIID and Proposition 26 were adopted as measures that qualified for the ballot pursuant to California's initiative process. From time to time other initiatives could be proposed and adopted affecting Net Revenues or the City's ability to increase its rates for water service. See "Proposi- tion 218" above. The California constitution, Article )IIID, Section 5(c), specifically recognizes that any assessment existing on the effective date (of Article XIIID) shall be exempt from the procedures and ap- proval process set forth in Article 4, to wit: "....(c) Any assessment the proceeds of which are exclusively used to repay bonded indebtedness of which the failure to pay would violate the Contract Impairment Clause of the Constitution of the United States." RISK FACTORS RELATING TO THE BONDS Payment by the City of the Installment Payments and, therefore, of principal of and interest on the Bonds, depends primarily upon the Net Revenues derived from operation of the Enterprise. Some of the events which could affect the revenues received by the Enterprise are set forth below. The following discussion of risks is not meant to be an exhaustive list of the risks associated with the purchase of the Bonds and the order in which the risks are discussed does not necessarily reflect the relative importance ofthe various risks. -41- Limited Obligations The Installment Payments are limited obligations of the City and are not secured by a legal or eq- uitable pledge or charge or lien upon any property of the City or any of its income or receipts, except the Net Revenues. The obligation of the City to pay debt service on the Bonds from Net Revenues does not constitute an obligation of the City to levy or pledge any form of taxation or for which the City has levied or pledged any form oftaxation. The City is obligated under the Installment Sale Agreement to make Installment Payments solely from Net Revenues. There is no assurance that the City can succeed in operating the Enterprise such that the Net Revenues in the future will be sufficient for that purpose. Maintenance and Operation Costs There can be no assurance that the City's expenses for the Enterprise will be consistent with the descriptions in this Official Statement. Changes in technology, changes in quality standards, loss of large customers, increased or decreased development, increases in the cost of operation, or other expenses could require increases in rates or charges in order to comply with the City's rate covenant in the Install- ment Sale Agreement. Limited Recourse on Default Failure by the City to make Installment Payments constitutes an event of default under the In- stallment Sale Agreement and the Trustee is permitted to pursue remedies at law or in equity to enforce the City's obligation to make such payments. Although the Trustee has the right to accelerate the total unpaid principal amount of the Installment Payments, there is no assurance that the City would have sufficient funds to pay the accelerated amounts. Limitations on Remedies The ability of the City to comply with its covenants under the Installment Sale Agreement and to generate Net Revenues sufficient to pay the Installment Payments and, therefore, of principal of and in- terest on the Bonds, may be adversely affected by actions and events outside of the control of the City and may be adversely affected by actions taken (or not taken) by voters, property owners, taxpayers or persons obligated to pay assessments, fees and charges. Furthermore, the remedies available to the owners of the Bonds upon the occurrence of an event of default under the Installment Sale Agreement are in many re- spects dependent upon judicial actions which are often subject to discretion and delay and could prove both expensive and time consuming to obtain. Initiatives In recent years several initiative measures have been proposed or adopted which affect the ability of local governments to increase taxes and rates. There is no assurance that the electorate or the State legislature will not at some future time approve additional limitations which could affect the ability of the City to implement rate increases which could reduce Net Revenues and adversely affect the security for the Bonds. See CONSTITUTIONAL LIMITATIONS ON APPROPRIATIONS AND FEES — Proposition 218." -42- Bankruptcy The rights and remedies provided in the Installment Sale Agreement and the Indenture may be limited by and are subject to the provisions of federal bankruptcy laws, to other laws or equitable princi- ples that may affect the enforcement of creditors' rights, to the exercise ofjudicial discretion in appropri- ate cases and to limitations on legal remedies against public agencies in the State of California. The vari- ous opinions of counsel to be delivered with respect to the Bonds, the Installment Sale Agreement and the Indenture, including the opinion of Bond Counsel, will be similarly qualified. If the City were to file a petition under Chapter 9 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Owners of the Bonds and the City could be prohib- ited from taking any steps to enforce their rights under the Indenture. No Reserve Fund No debt service reserve fund has been established with respect to the Bonds. Tax Exemption The Authority and the City have covenanted that they will take all actions necessary to assure the exclusion of interest with respect to the Bonds from the gross income of the Owners of the Bonds to the same extent as such interest is permitted to be excluded from gross income under the Internal Reve- nue in the gross income of the Owners thereof for federal tax purposes. See "TAXMATTERS." Additional Obligations The Installment Sale Agreement permits the incurrence of obligations by the City secured by Net Revenues on a parity basis or a subordinate basis to the Installment Sale Agreement, the 2012 In- stallment Sale Agreement and the 2011 Installment Sale Agreement. Such additional obligations would increase debt service payable from Net Revenues and could adversely affect debt service coverage with respect to the Bonds. In such event, however, the Rate Covenant will remain in effect. See "SECURITY FOR THE BONDS —Rate Covenant." Seismic Considerations The City, like much of California, is subject to seismic activity that could result in interference with operation of the Enterprise. There are several major active fault zones transecting the County that could cause "strong ground motion" at the site of the various facilities constituting the Enterprise during their useful life. If there were to be an occurrence of severe seismic activity in the area of the City, there could be an interruption in the service provided by the Enterprise resulting in a temporary reduction in the amount of Net Revenues available to pay the Installment Payments and, therefore, the principal of and interest on the Bonds when due. Secondary Market There can be no guarantee that there will be a secondary market for the Bonds or, if a secondary market exists, that any Bonds can be sold for any particular price. Occasionally, because of general market conditions or because of adverse history or economic prospects connected with a particular issue, secon- dary marketing practices in connection with a particular issue are suspended or terminated. Addition- ally, prices of issues for which a market is being made will depend upon then - prevailing circumstances. Such prices could be substantially different from the original purchase price. -43- APPROVAL OF LEGAL PROCEEDINGS The legality and enforceability of the Bonds is subject to the approval of Quint & Thimmig LLP, Larkspur, California, acting as Bond Counsel. Certain disclosure matters will be passed upon for the City and the Authority by Quint & Thimmig LLP, Larkspur, California, acting as Disclosure Counsel. Certain legal matters will be passed upon for the City and the Authority by Woodruff, Spradlin & Smart, P.C., Costa Mesa, California. LITIGATION At the time of delivery of and payment for the Bonds, the City and the Authority will certify that there is no action, suit, proceedings, inquiry or investigation, at law or in equity, before or by any court, regulatory agency, public board or body, pending or, to the knowledge of the City and the Authority, threatened against the City or the Authority affecting the existence of the City or the Authority or the titles of its officers to their respective offices or seeking to restrain or to enjoin the sale or delivery of the Bonds, the application of the proceeds thereof in accordance with the Indenture, or in any way contesting or affecting the validity or enforceability of the Bonds, the Indenture or the Installment Sale Agreement or any action ofthe City or the Authority contemplated by any of said documents, or in any way contest- ing the completeness or accuracy of this Official Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto, or contesting the powers of the City or the Authority with respect to the Bonds or any action of the City or the Authority contemplated by any of said documents, nor to the knowledge of the City or the Authority, is there any basis therefor. RATING Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, a Standard & Poor's Financial Services LLC business ( "S &P "), has assigned the rating of "" to the Bonds. Such rating reflects only the views of such or- ganization and an explanation of the significance of such rating may be obtained from S &P at 55 Water Street, New York, NY 10041. There is no assurance that such rating will continue for any given period of time or that it will not be revised downward or withdrawn entirely by S &P, if in the judgment of S&P, cir- cumstances so warrant. Any downward revision or withdrawal of such rating may have an adverse effect on the market price of the Bonds. FINANCIAL ADVISOR The City has retained the Financial Advisor in connection with the authorization and delivery of the Bonds. The fees of the Financial Advisor are contingent upon the sale and delivery of the Bonds.

The Annual Report and the notices of material events will be filed by the City with the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board through the Electronic Munici- pal Access (EMMA) System. The specific nature of the information to be contained in the Annual Report or the notices of material events is summarized below under the caption APPENDIX F —FORM OF CONTINUING DISCLOSURE CERTIFICATE. These covenants have been made in order to assist the Underwriter in complying with S.E.C. Rule 15c2- 12(b)(5). The City did not provide, in a timely manner, all of the annual financial and operating data in its annual filings for the fiscal years ending June 30, 2006 through June 30, 2010, as required under the continuing disclosure certificate for prior bonds. The City did not file in a timely manner the notices regarding the downgrade in rating changes, by Moody's Inves- tors Service, Inc. and S &P, respectively, to the municipal bond insurer that insured prior bonds. As of the date of this Official Statement, the City has completed necessary filings to comply with the Rule and the City's continuing disclosure certificate for the 2011 Bonds and the 2012 Bonds. TAX MATTERS Federal tax law contains a number of requirements and restrictions which apply to the Bonds, in- cluding investment restrictions, periodic payments of arbitrage profits to the United States, requirements regarding the proper use of bond proceeds and the facilities financed therewith, and certain other mat- ters. The Authority and the City have covenanted to comply with all requirements that must be satisfied in order for the interest on the Bonds to be excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes. Failure to comply with certain of such covenants could cause interest on the Bonds to become includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes retroactively to the date of issuance of the Bonds. Subject to the Authority's and the City's compliance with the above referenced covenants, un- der present law, in the opinion of Quint & Thimmig LLP, Bond Counsel, interest on the Bonds is exclud- able from the gross income of the owners thereof for federal income tax purposes, and is not included as an item of tax preference in computing the federal alternative minimum tax for individuals and corpora- tions, but interest on the Bonds is taken into account, however, in computing an adjustment used in de- termining the federal alternative minimum tax for certain corporations. Subject to the Authority's and the City's compliance with certain covenants, in the opinion of Bond Counsel, the Bonds are "qualified tax exempt obligations" under the small issuer exception pro- vided under section 265(b)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code "), which affords banks and certain other financial institutions more favorable treatment of their deduction for in- terest expense than would otherwise be allowed under section 265(b)(2) ofthe Code. In rendering its opinions, Bond Counsel will rely upon certifications of the Authority and the City with respect to certain material facts within the Authority's and the City's knowledge Bond Coun- sel's opinion represents its legal judgment based upon its review of the law and the facts that it deems relevant to render such opinion and is not a guarantee of result. -45- The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code "), includes provisions for an alter- native minimum tax ( "AMT ") for corporations in addition to the corporate regular tax in certain cases. The AMT, if any, depends upon the corporation's alternative minimum taxable income ( "AMTI "), which is the corporation's taxable income with certain adjustments. One ofthe adjustment items used in computing the AMTI ofa corporation (with certain exceptions) is an amount equal to 75%ofthe excess of such corporation's "adjusted current earnings" over an amount equal to its AMTI (before such adjust- ment item and the alternative tax net operating loss deduction). "Adjusted current earnings" would include certain tax exempt interest, including interest on the Bonds. Ownership of the Bonds may result in collateral federal income tax consequences to certain tax- payers, including, without limitation, corporations subject to the branch profits tax, financial institu- tions, certain insurance companies, certain S corporations, individual recipients of Social Security or Railroad Retirement benefits and taxpayers who may be deemed to have incurred (or continued) indebt- edness to purchase or carry tax -exempt obligations. Prospective purchasers of the Bonds should consult their tax advisors as to applicability of any such collateral consequences. The issue price (the "Issue Price ") for each maturity of the Bonds is the price at which a substan- tial amount of such maturity of the Bonds is first sold to the public. The Issue Price of a maturity of the Bonds may be different from the price set forth, or the price corresponding to the yield set forth, on the cover page hereof. Owners of Bonds who dispose of Bonds prior to the stated maturity (whether by sale, redemption or otherwise), purchase Bonds in the initial public offering, but at a price different from the Issue Price, or purchase Bonds subsequent to the initial public offering, should consult their own tax advisors. If Bond is purchased at any time for a price that is less than the Bond's stated redemption price at maturity (the "Reduced Issue Price "), the purchaser will be treated as having purchased a Bond with market discount subject to the market discount rules of the Code (unless a statutory de minimis rule ap- plies). Accrued market discount is treated as taxable ordinary income and is recognized when a Bond is disposed of (to the extent such accrued discount does not exceed gain realized) or, at the purchaser's election, as it accrues. Such treatment would apply to any purchaser who purchases a Bond for a price that is less than its Revised Issue Price. The applicability of the market discount rules may adversely af- fect the liquidity or secondary market price of such Bond. Purchasers should consult their own tax advi- sors regarding the potential implications of market discount with respect to the Bonds. An investor may purchase a Bond at a price in excess of its stated principal amount. Such excess is characterized for federal income tax purposes as "bond premium" and must be amortized by an inves- tor on a constant yield basis over the remaining term of the Bond in a manner that takes into account po- tential call dates and call prices. An investor cannot deduct amortized bond premium relating to a tax - exempt bond. The amortized bond premium is treated as a reduction in the tax -exempt interest received. As bond premium is amortized, it reduces the investor's basis in the Bond. Investors who purchase a Bond at a premium should consult their own tax advisors regarding the amortization of bond premium and its effect on the Bond's basis for purposes of computing gain or loss in connection with the sale, ex- change, redemption or early retirement of the Bond. There are or may be pending in the Congress of the United States legislative proposals, including some that carry retroactive effective dates, that, if enacted, could alter or amend the federal tax matters referred to above or affect the market value of the Bonds. It cannot be predicted whether or in what form any such proposal might be enacted or whether, if enacted, it would apply to bonds issued prior to enact- -46- ment. Prospective purchasers of the Bonds should consult their own tax advisors regarding any pending or proposed federal tax legislation. Bond Counsel expresses no opinion regarding any pending or proposed federal tax legislation. The Internal Revenue Service (the "Service ") has an ongoing program of auditing tax exempt ob- ligations to determine whether, in the view of the Service, interest on such tax exempt obligations is in- cludable in the gross income of the owners thereof for federal income tax purposes. It cannot be predicted whether or not the Service will commence an audit of the Bonds. If an audit is commenced, under cur- rent procedures the Service may treat the Issuer as a taxpayer and the Bondholders may have no right to participate in such procedure. The commencement of an audit could adversely affect the market value and liquidity of the Bonds until the audit is concluded, regardless of the ultimate outcome. Payments of interest on, and proceeds of the sale, redemption or maturity of, tax exempt obliga- tions, including the Bonds, are in certain cases required to be reported to the Service. Additionally, backup withholding may apply to any such payments to any Bond owner who fails to provide an accurate Form W -9 Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification, or a substantially identical form, or to any Bond owner who is notified by the Service of a failure to report any interest or dividends required to be shown on federal income tax returns. The reporting and backup withholding requirements do not affect the excludability ofsuch interest from gross income for federal tax purposes. In the further opinion of Bond Counsel, interest on the Bonds is exempt from California personal income taxes. Ownership of the Bonds may result in other state and local tax consequences to certain taxpayers. Bond Counsel expresses no opinion regarding any such collateral consequences arising with respect to the Bonds. Prospective purchasers of the Bonds should consult their tax advisors regarding the applicability of any such state and local taxes. The complete text of the final opinion that Bond Counsel expects to deliver upon the issuance of the Bonds is set forth in APPENDIX E —FORM OF FINAL OPINION OF BOND COUNSEL.

TUSTIN PUBLIC FINANCING AUTHOR- ITY By Executive Director CITY OF TUSTIN By -48- City Manager APPENDIX A GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE CITY OF TUSTIN Ike information in this section of the Official Statement ispresented as general background data. The Bondsare payable solely from the revenues of the City's Water Fund and other sources as described in the Official Statement. The taxing power of the City, the State of California, or any political subdivision thereof is not pledged to the payment of the Bonds. General The City covers approximately 11.8 square miles in central Orange County. The City is bounded by the cities of Orange to the north, Santa Ana to the west and Irvine to the south. It has a temperate climate, with a mean average temperature of 63 degrees and average annual rainfall of 13 inches. In 1868 Columbus Tustin, the City's Founder and namesake, purchased with a partner 1,300 acres of Rancho Santiago de Santa Ana, originally with a Spanish land grant. Tustin started "Tustin City" on his portion of the prop- erty. The orange industry began in Tustin City in 1875, when the first sizeable grove was planted. The City was soon surrounded by orange, walnut and apricot orchards. Between 1900 and 1950 the production of oranges gradually be- came the City's major agricultural crop, and processing citrus fruits was the City's most important industry. The rate of agriculture in the City has diminished since the early 1960's as the City has diversified its economic base. The City provides a range of municipal services to its residents with a full -time permanent staff of approxi- mately 365 employees. The City has its own police force and the Orange County Fire Department provides fire protec- tion services on a contractual basis. Street sweeping, park maintenance and building inspection are provided by the City. Trash collection is a contracted service and maintenance of sewer mains is currently provided by the Orange County Sanitation District. The City cooperates with the County in the provisions and maintenance of flood control facilities. Municipal Government The City is a general law city and was incorporated in 1927. The City has a council - manager form of munici- pal government. The City Council is composed of five members elected biannually at large to four -year alternating terms. The Mayor is selected by the City Council from among its members. The City Manager is appointed by the City Council and serves as the administrative head of the City. The City Manager implements City Council directives and policies and manages the operational functions of the City. The City staff is organized into departments, which provide police, community development, maintenance, general administration, community service and capital im- provements. The City employs a staff of approximately 365 full -time employees under the direction of the City Man- ager. All full -time City employees are covered by the Public Employee's Retirement System, which is administered by the State. The table below sets out the current City Council members and their incumbency dates. Name Elwyn A. Murray Charles E.

"Taxable Sales in California." l'I In early 2007 the Board of Equalization (the "BOE ") began a process of converting business codes of sales and use tax permit holders to North American Industry Classification System ( NAICS) codes (evidenced by the elimination of "Gen- eral Merchandise" and the breakout of "Service Stations" for that year's data). This process is now complete; over one million permit holders were converted from the previous business coding system to the NAICS codes Beginning in 2009, BOE reports summarize taxable sales and permits using the NAICS codes. As a result of the coding change, however, in- dustry-level data for 2009 are not comparable to that of prior years. Categories at the County level, particularly, were signifi- cantly altered; for this reason 2009 County data are shown in this separate table.

The Bonds are secured by Revenues as defined in the Indenture, in- cluding installment payments (the "Installment Payments ") made by the City of Tustin (the "City") under an in- stallment sale agreement, dated as of November 1, 2013 (the "Installment Sale Agreement "), by and between the Authority, as seller, and the City, as purchaser. We have examined the Bond Law and such certified proceedings and other papers as we deem necessary to render this opinion. As to questions of fact material to our opinion, we have relied upon representations of the Authority and the City contained in the Indenture and the Installment Sale Agreement and in the certified proceedings, and upon other certifications furnished to us, without undertaking to verify the same by independent investigation. Based upon our examination we are of the opinion, under existing law, that: 1. The Authority is a joint exercise of powers agency and public entity duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of California, with power to enter into the Indenture, to perform the agreements on its part contained therein and to issue the Bonds. 2. The Bonds constitute legal, valid and binding special obligations of the Authority enforceable in accor- dance with their terms and payable solely from the sources provided therefor in the Indenture. 3. The Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Authority and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Authority enforceable against the Authority in accordance with its terms. * Preliminary, subject to change. Appendix E Page 1 4. The Indenture establishes a valid first and exclusive lien on and pledge of the Revenues (as such term is de- fined in the Indenture) and other funds pledged thereby for the security of the Bonds, in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. 5. The Installment Sale Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Authority and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Authority enforceable against the Authority in accordance with its terms. 6. The City is a municipal corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of California, with power to enter into the Installment Sale Agreement and to perform the agreements on its part contained therein. 7. The Installment Sale Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the City and consti- tutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the City enforceable against the City in accordance with its terms. 8. The Installment Sale Agreement establishes a valid lien on and pledge of the Net Revenues (as such term is defined in the Indenture) and other funds pledged thereby for the security of the Installment Sale Agreement, in accor- dance with the terms of the Installment Sale Agreement. 9. Subject to the Authority's and the City's compliance with certain covenants, interest on the Bonds is ex- cludable from grass income of the owners thereof for federal income tax purposes and is not included as an item of tax preference in computing the alternative minimum tax for individuals and corporations under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code "), but is taken into account in computing an adjustment used in determining the federal alternative minimum tax for certain corporations. It is also our opinion that the Bonds are "qualified tax ex- empt obligations" under section 265(b)(3) of the Code. Failure to comply with certain of such covenants could cause interest on the Bonds to be includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes retroactively to the date of issu- ance of the Bonds. 10. Interest on the Bonds is exempt from personal i ncome taxati on imposed by the State of California Ownership of the Bonds may result in other tax consequences to certain taxpayers, and we express no opinion regarding any such collateral consequences arising with respect to the Bonds. The rights of the owners of the Bonds and the enforceability of the Bonds, the Indenture and the Installment Sale Agreement may be subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws affect- ing creditors' rights heretofore or hereafter enacted and also may be subject to the exercise of judicial discretion in ac- cordance with general principles of equity. With respect to the opinions expressed herein, the enforceability of the Installment Sale Agreement is subject to the limitations on the imposition of certain fees and charges by the City related to its municipal water system under Articles XBIC and XIIID of the California Constitution. In addition, the rights of the owners of the Bonds and the en- forceability of the Bonds and the Indenture may be subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws affecting creditors' rights heretofore or hereafter enacted and also may be subject to the exercise of judicial discretion in accordance with general principles of equity. In rendering this opinion, we have relied upon certifications of the Authority, the City and others with respect to certain material facts. Our opinion represents our legal judgment based upon such review of the law and the facts that we deem relevant to render our opinion and is not a guarantee of a result. This opinion is given as of the date hereof and we assume no obligation to revise or supplement this opinion to reflect any facts or circumstances that may hereafter come to our attention or any changes in law that may hereafter occur.

If the amendment or waiver relates to the provisions of Sections 3(a), 4 or 5(a) or (b), it may only be made in connection with a change in circumstances that arises from a change in legal require- Appendix F Page 4 ments, change in law, or change in the identity, nature, or status of an obligated person with respect to the Bonds, or the type of business conducted. (b) Compliance asoflssue Date. The undertaking, as amended or taking into account such waiver, would, in the opinion of a nationally recognized bond counsel, have complied with the requirements of the Rule at the time of the original issuance of the Bonds, after taking into account any amendments or interpretations of the Rule, as well as any change in circumstances. (c) Consent of Holders, Non - impairment Opinion. The amendment or waiver either (i) is approved by the Bond owners in the same manner as provided in the Indenture for amendments to the Indenture with the consent of Bond owners, or (ii) does not, in the opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel, materially impair the interests of the Bond owners or Beneficial Owners. If this Disclosure Certificate is amended or any provision of this Disclosure Certificate is waived, the City shall describe such amendment or waiver in the next following Annual Report and shall include, as applicable, a narra- tive explanation of the reason for the amendment or waiver and its impact on the type (or in the case of a change of ac- counting principles, on the presentation) of financial information or operating data being presented by the City. In addition, if the amendment relates to the accounting principles to be followed in preparing financial statements, (i) notice of such change shall be given in the same manner as for a Listed Event under Section 5(c), and (ii) the Annual Report for the year in which the change is made should present a comparison (in narrative form and also, if feasible, in quantitative form) between the financial statements as prepared on the basis of the new accounting principles and those prepared on the basis of the former accounting principles.

The Obligor anticipates that the Annual Report will be filed by Date: APPLIED BEST PRACTICES, LLC, Dissemination Agent By Authorized Officer Appendix F Page 7 THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFC BLANK APPENDIX G BOOK -ENTRY ONLY SYSTEM The following description of the procedures and record keeping with respect to beneficial ownership interests in the Bonds, payment of principal, redemption premium, if any, and interest with respect to the Bonds to The Deposi- tory Trust Company ( "DTC "), New York, NY, its Participants or Beneficial Owners, confirmation and transfers of beneficial ownership interests in the Bonds and other related transactions by and between DTC, its Participants and the Beneficial Owners is based solely on the understanding of the Authority of such procedures and record keeping from information provided by DTC. Accordingly, no representations can be made concerning these matters and neither DTC, its Participants nor the Beneficial Owners should rely on the foregoing information with respect to such mat- ters, but should instead confirm the same with DTC or its Participants, as the case may be. The City, the Authority, the Trustee and the Underwriter understand that the current "Rules" applicable to DTC are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission and that the current "Procedures" of DTC to be followed in dealing with Participants are on file with DTC. DTC will act as securities depository for the Bonds. The Bonds will be issued as fully - registered securities registered in the time of Cede & Co. (DTC's partnership nominee) or such other time as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. One fully - registered Bond certificate will be issued for each maturity of the Bonds, each in the aggregate principal amount of such maturity, and will be deposited with DTC. DTC, the world's largest depository, is a limited- purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a "banking organization" within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a "clearing agency" registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC holds and provides asset servicing for over 3.5 million issues of U.S. and non -U.S. equity issues, corporate and mu- nicipal debt issues, and money market instruments (from over 100 countries) that DTC's participants ( "Direct Par- ticipants") deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the post -trade settlement among Direct Participants of sales and other securities transactions in deposited securities, through electronic computerized book -entry transfers and pledges between Direct Participants' accounts. This eliminates the need for physical movement of securities certificates. Direct Participants include both U.S. and non -U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corpora- tions, and certain other organizations. DTC is a wholly -owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Cor- poration ( "DTCC "). DTCC is the holding company for DTC, National Securities Clearing Corporation and Fixed Income Clearing Corporation, all of which are registered clearing agencies. DTTC is owned by users of its regulated subsidiaries. Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as both U.S. and non -U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, and clearing corporations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly ( "Indirect Participants "). DTC has a Standard & Poor's rating of AA +. The DTC Rules applicable to its Participants are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. More information about DTC can be found at www.dtco.com and www.dtc.org. Purchases of the Bonds under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct Participants, which will receive a credit for the Bonds on DTC's records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each Bond ( "Bene- ficial Owner ") is in turn to be recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants' records. Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase. Beneficial Owners are, however, 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 Bonds are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Direct and Indirect Participants acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in the Bonds, except in the event that use of the book -entry system for the Bonds is discontinued. To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Bonds deposited by Direct Participants with DTC are registered in the name of DTC's partnership nominee, Cede & Co., or such other name as may be requested by an authorized represen- Appendix G Page 1 tative of DTC. The deposit of the Bonds with DTC and their registration in the time of Cede & Co. or such other DTC nominee do not effect any change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the Bonds; DTC's records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such Bonds are cred- ited, which may or may not be the Beneficial Owners. The Direct and Indirect Participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers. Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct Participants to Indirect Participants, and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Beneficial Owners of the Bonds may wish to take certain steps to augment the transmission to them of notices of sig- nificant events with respect to the Bonds, such as redemptions, tenders, defaults, and proposed amendments to the Trust Agreement. For example, Beneficial Owners of the Bonds may wish to ascertain that the nominee holding the Bonds for their benefit has agreed to obtain and transmit notices to Beneficial Owners. In the alternative, Beneficial Owners may wish to provide their names and addresses to the registrar and request that copies of notices be provided directly to them. Redemption notices shall be sent to DTC, if less than all of the Bonds within a maturity are being redeemed. DTC's practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in each issue to be redeemed. Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (nor any other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to the Bonds unless authorized by a Direct Participant in accordance with DTC's MMI Procedures. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an Omnibus Proxy to the 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 the Bonds are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy). Payments of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the 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 Partici- pants' accounts upon DTC's receipt of funds and corresponding detail information from the City, the Authority or the Trustee, on payable date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC's records. Payments by Partici- pants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with secu- rities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in "street name," and will be the responsibility of such Participant and not of DTC, the Trustee, the City or the Authority, subject to any statutory or regulatory re- quirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payments of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds by Cede & Co (or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC) is the responsibil- ity of the City, the Authority or the Trustee, disbursement of such payments to Direct Participants will be the respon- sibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners will be the responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants. DTC may discontinue providing its services as depository with respect to the Bonds at any time by giving reasonable notice to the City, the Authority or the Trustee. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor depository is not obtained, Bond certificates are required to be printed and delivered. The Authority may decide to discontinue use of the system of book -entry transfers through DTC (or a suc- cessor securities depository). In that event, Bond certificates will be printed and delivered. The foregoing information concerning DTC and DTC's book -entry system has been provided by DTC, and neither the Authority nor the Trustee takes any responsibility for the accuracy thereof. NEITHER THE AUTHORITY NOR THE TRUSTEE WILL HAVE ANY RESPONSIBILITY OR OBLI- GATION TO DTC PARTICIPANTS, INDIRECT PARTICIPANTS OR BENEFICIAL OWNERS WITH RE- SPECT TO THE PAYMENTS OR THE PROVIDING OF NOTICE TO DTC PARTICIPANTS, INDIRECT PARTICIPANTS OR BENEFICIAL OWNERS OR THE SELECTION OF BONDS FOR REDEMPTION. Appendix G Page 2 Neither the Authority nor the Trustee can give any assurances that DTC, DTC Participants, Indirect Partici- pants or others will distribute payments of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds paid to DTC or its nominee, as the registered Owner, or any redemption or other notice, to the Beneficial Owners or that they will do so on a timely basis or that OTC will serve and act in a manner described in this Official Statement. In the event that the book -entry system is discontinued as described above, the requirements of the Trust Agreement will apply. The City, the Authority and the Trustee cannot and do not give any assurances that DTC, the Participants or others will distribute payments of principal, interest or premium, if any, evidenced by the 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. Neither the Authority nor the Trustee are 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 Bonds or an error or delay relating thereto.

No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Owners of the Bonds is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy or remedies, and each and every such remedy, to the extent permitted by law, shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Section 7.10. No Waiver of Default. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Owner of the Bonds to exercise any right or power arising upon the occurrence of any Event of Default shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein; and every power and remedy given by this Indenture to the Trustee or the Owners of the Bonds may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient.

The Authority agrees that it will maintain a Trustee having a corporate trust office in the State, with (or if a member of a bank holding company system, its parent holding company shall have) a combined capital and surplus of at least fifty million dollars ($50,000,000), and subject to supervision or examination by federal or State authority, so long as any Bonds are Outstanding. If such national banking association, bank or trust company publishes a report of condition at least annually pursuant to law or to the requirements of any supervising or examining authority above referred to, then for the purpose of this Section 8.01 the combined capital and surplus of such national banking association, bank or trust company shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. The Trustee is hereby authorized to pay the principal of and interest and maturity amount on the Bonds when duly presented for payment at maturity, and to cancel all Bonds upon payment thereof. The Trustee shall keep accurate records of all funds administered by it and of all Bonds paid and discharged. Section 8.02. Acceptance of Trustee. The Trustee hereby accepts the trusts imposed upon it by this Indenture, and agrees to perform said trusts, but only upon and subject to the following express terms and conditions: (a) The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after curing of all Events of Default which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture. In case an Event of Default hereunder has occurred (which has not been cured or waived), the Trustee may exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and shall use the same degree of care and skill and diligence in their exercise, as a prudent person would use in the conduct of its own affairs. (b) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereof and perform the duties required of it hereunder by or through attorneys, agents, or receivers, and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters of trust and its duty hereunder. The Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent, receiver or attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder. The Trustee may conclusively rely upon an opinion of counsel as full and complete protection for any action taken or suffered by it hereunder. (c) The Trustee shall not be responsible for any recital herein, or in the Bonds, or for any of the supplements thereto or instruments of further assurance, or for the sufficiency of the security for the Bonds issued hereunder or intended to be secured hereby and the Trustee shall not be bound to ascertain or inquire as to the observance or performance of any covenants, conditions or agreements on the part of the Authority hereunder. (d) Except as provided in Section 3.02, the Trustee shall not be accountable for the use of any proceeds of sale of the Bonds delivered hereunder. The Trustee may become the Owner of Bonds secured hereby with the same rights which it would have if not the Trustee; may acquire and dispose of other bonds or evidences of indebtedness of the Authority with the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee; and may act as a depository for and permit any of its -31- officers or directors to act as a member of, or in any other capacity with respect to, any committee formed to protect the rights of Owners of Bonds, whether or not such committee shall represent the Owners of the majority of the Bonds. (e) The Trustee shall be protected in acting, in good faith and without negligence, upon any notice, request, consent, certificate, order, affidavit, letter, telegram, requisition, facsimile transmission, electronic mail or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper person or persons. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Trustee in good faith and without negligence pursuant to this Indenture upon the request or authority or consent of any person who at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent is the Owner of any Bond, shall be conclusive and binding upon all future Owners of the same Bond and upon Bonds issued in exchange therefor or in place thereof. The Trustee shall not be bound to recognize any person as an Owner of any Bond or to take any action at his request unless the ownership of such Bond by such person shall be reflected on the Registration Books. (f) As to the existence or non - existence of any fact or as to the sufficiency or validity of any instrument, paper or proceeding, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely upon a Written Certificate of the Authority as sufficient evidence of the facts therein contained and prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder of which the Trustee has been given notice or is deemed to have notice, as provided in Section 8.02(h) hereof, shall also be at liberty to accept a Written Certificate of the Authority to the effect that any particular dealing, transaction or action is necessary or expedient, but may at its discretion secure such further evidence deemed by it to be necessary or advisable, but shall in no case be bound to secure the same. (g) The permissive right of the Trustee to do things enumerated in this Indenture shall not be construed as a duty and it shall not be answerable for other than its negligence or willful misconduct. The immunities and exceptions from liability of the Trustee shall extend to its officers, directors, employees and agents. (h) The Trustee shall not be required to take notice or be deemed to have notice of any Event of Default hereunder, under the Installment Sale Agreement, except failure by the Authority to make any of the payments to the Trustee required to be made by the Authority pursuant hereto or failure by the Authority to file with the Trustee any document required by this Indenture to be so filed subsequent to the issuance of the Bonds, unless the Trustee shall be specifically notified in writing of such default by the Authority, and all notices or other instruments required by this Indenture to be delivered to the Trustee must, in order to be effective, be delivered at the Trust Office of the Trustee, and in the absence of such notice so delivered the Trustee may conclusively assume there is no Event of Default hereunder except as aforesaid. (i) At any and all reasonable times the Trustee and its duly authorized agents, attorneys, experts, accountants and representatives, shall have the right (but not any duty) fully to inspect all books, papers and records of the Authority pertaining to the Bonds, and to make copies of any of such books, papers and records such as may be desired but which is not privileged by statute or by law. (j) The Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the execution of the said trusts and powers or otherwise in respect of the premises hereof. (k) Notwithstanding anything elsewhere in this Indenture with respect to the execution of any Bonds, the withdrawal of any cash, the release of any property, or any action whatsoever within the purview of this Indenture, the Trustee shall have the right, but shall not be required, to demand any showings, certificates, opinions, appraisals or other information, or corporate -32- action or evidence thereof, as may be deemed desirable for the purpose of establishing the right of the Authority to the execution of any Bonds, the withdrawal of any cash, or the taking of any other action by the Trustee. (1) Before taking any action under Article VII hereof or this Article VIII at the request or direction of the Owners, the Trustee may require payment or reimbursement of its fees and expenses, including fees and expenses of counsel and receipt of an indemnity bond satisfactory to it from the Owners to protect it against all liability, except liability which is adjudicated to have resulted from its own negligence or willful misconduct in connection with any action so taken. Before being required to take any action, the Trustee may require an opinion of Independent Counsel acceptable to the Trustee, which opinion shall be made available to the other parties hereto upon request, which counsel may be counsel to any of the parties hereto, or a verified certificate of any party hereto, or both, concerning the proposed action. If it does so in good faith, the Trustee shall be absolutely protected in relying thereon. (m) All moneys received by the Trustee shall, until used or applied or invested as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received but need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. (n) The Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a responsible officer, unless it shall be provided that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts. Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture, the Installment Sale Agreement relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Article. The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, coupon or other paper or document. (o) The Trustee shall have no responsibility for or liability in connection with assuring that all of the procedures or conditions to closing set forth in the contract for purchase of the Bonds have been met on the closing date or, that all documents required to be delivered on the Closing Date to the parties are actually delivered, except its own responsibility to receive the proceeds of the sale, deliver the Bonds or other certificates expressly required to be delivered by it and its counsel. The Trustee may assume that parties to the contract for purchase of the Bonds have waived their rights to receive documents or to require the performance of procedures if the parties to whom such documents are to be delivered or for whom such procedures are to be performed do not require delivery or performance on or prior to the Closing Date. (p) The Trustee shall have no responsibility with respect to any information, statement or recital in any official statement, offering memorandum or any other disclosure material prepared or distributed with respect to the Bonds. (q) The Trustee shall not be considered in breach of or in default in its obligations hereunder or progress in respect thereto in the event of enforced delay ( "unavoidable delay ") in the performance of such obligations due to unforeseeable causes beyond its control and without its fault or negligence, including, but not limited to, Acts of God or of the public enemy or terrorists, acts of a government, acts of the other party, fires, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes, freight embargoes, earthquakes, explosion, mob violence, riot, inability to procure or general sabotage or rationing of labor, equipment, facilities, sources of energy, -33- material or supplies in the open market, litigation or arbitration involving a party or others relating to zoning or other governmental action or inaction pertaining to the 2013 Project, malicious mischief, condemnation, and unusually severe weather or delays of suppliers or subcontractors due to such causes or any similar even and /or occurrences beyond the control of the Trustee. (r) Whenever in the administration of the trusts imposed upon it by this Trust Agreement the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or suffering any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by a certificate of the Authority or City, and such certificate shall be full warrant to the Trustee for any action taken or suffered in good faith under the provisions of this Indenture in reliance upon such certificate, but in its discretion the Trustee may, in lieu thereof, accept other evidence of such matter or may require such additional evidence as it may deem reasonable. (s) The Trustee agrees to accept and act upon instructions or directions pursuant to this Indenture sent by unsecured e-mail, facsimile transmission or other similar unsecured electronic methods, provided, however, that, the Trustee shall have received an incumbency certificate listing persons designated to give such instructions or directions and containing specimen signatures of such designated persons, which such incumbency certificate shall be amended and replaced whenever a person is to be added or deleted from the listing. If the Authority elects to give the Trustee e-mail or facsimile instructions (or instructions by a similar electronic method) and the Trustee in its discretion elects to act upon such instructions, the Trustee's understanding of such instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Trustee shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Trustee's reliance upon and compliance with such instructions notwithstanding such instructions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. The Authority agrees to assume all risks arising out of the use of such electronic methods to submit instructions and directions to the Trustee, including without limitation the risk of the Trustee acting on unauthorized instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties. (t) The Trustee shall not be liable in connection with the performance of its duties hereunder, except for its own negligence or willful misconduct. Section 8.03. Fees. Charges and Expenses of Trustee. The Trustee shall be entitled to payment and reimbursement for reasonable fees for its services rendered hereunder and all advances, counsel fees (including expenses) and other expenses reasonably and necessarily made or incurred by the Trustee in connection with such services.

Section 8.04. Notice to Bond Owners of Default. If an Event of Default hereunder occurs with respect to any Bonds of which the Trustee has been given or is deemed to have notice, as provided in Section 8.02(h) hereof, then the Trustee shall immediately give written notice thereof, by first -class mail to the Owner of each such Bond, unless such Event of Default shall have been cured before the giving of such notice; provided, however, that unless such Event of Default consists of the failure by the Authority to make any payment when due, the Trustee shall, within thirty (30) days of the Trustee's knowledge thereof, give such notice to the Bond Owners unless the Trustee in good faith determines that it is in the best interests of the Bond Owners not to give such notice. -34- Section 8.05. Intervention by Trustee. In any judicial proceeding to which the Authority is a party which, in the opinion of the Trustee and its counsel, has a substantial bearing on the interests of the Owners of any of the Bonds, the Trustee may intervene on behalf of such Bond Owners, and subject to Section 8.02(1) hereof, shall do so if requested in writing by the Owners of at least twenty -five percent (25 %) of the Bonds. Section 8.06. Removal of Trustee. The Owners of a majority of the Bonds may at any time, and the Authority may, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing, remove the Trustee initially appointed, and any successor thereto, by an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing delivered to the Trustee, whereupon the Authority (with the written consent of the City) or such Owners, as the case may be, shall appoint a successor or successors thereto; provided that any such successor shall be a bank or trust company meeting the requirements set forth in Section 8.01. Section 8.07. Resignation by Trustee. The Trustee and any successor Trustee may at any time give written notice of its intention to resign as Trustee hereunder, such notice to be given to the Authority and the City by first class mail. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Authority (with the written approval of the City) shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee. Upon such acceptance, the Authority shall cause notice thereof to be given by first class mail, postage prepaid, to the Bond Owners at their respective addresses set forth on the Registration Books. Section 8.08. Appointment of Successor Trustee. In the event of the removal or resignation of the Trustee pursuant to Sections 8.06 or 8.07, respectively, and if the Owners shall not have approved a successor Trustee, then, with the prior written consent of the City, the Authority shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. In the event the Authority shall for any reason whatsoever fail to appoint a successor Trustee within sixty (60) days following the delivery to the Trustee of the instrument described in Section 8.06 or within sixty (60) days following the receipt of notice by the Authority pursuant to Section 8.07, the Trustee may, at the expense of the Authority, apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee meeting the requirements of Section 8.01 hereof. Any such successor Trustee appointed by such court shall become the successor Trustee hereunder notwithstanding any action by the Authority purporting to appoint a successor Trustee following the expiration of such ninety-day period. Within sixty (60) days following the appointment of a successor Trustee hereunder, the former Trustee shall deliver to such successor Trustee (a) all funds and accounts held by the former Trustee hereunder, and (b) any and all information and documentation as may be required or reasonably requested by the Authority or such successor Trustee in connection with the transfer to such successor Trustee of all the duties and functions of the Trustee hereunder. The Authority shall pay the reasonable costs and expenses of such former Trustee incurred in connection with such transfer. Section 8.09. Merger or Consolidation. Any company into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated or any company resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which it shall be a party or any company to which the Trustee may sell or transfer all or substantially all of it corporate trust business, provided that such company shall meet the requirements set forth in Section 8.01, shall be the successor to the Trustee and vested with all of the title to the trust estate and all of the trusts, powers, discretions, immunities, privileges and all other matters as was its predecessor, without the execution or filing of any paper or further act, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. -35- Section 8.10. Concerning any Successor Trustee. Every successor Trustee appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to its predecessor and also to the Authority an instrument in writing accepting such appointment hereunder and thereupon such successor, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the estates, properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of its predecessors; but such predecessor shall, nevertheless, on the Request of the Authority, or of the Trustee's successor, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor all the estates, properties, rights, powers and trusts of such predecessor hereunder; and every predecessor Trustee shall deliver all securities and moneys held by it as the Trustee hereunder to its successor. Should any instrument in writing from the Authority be required by any successor Trustee for more fully and certainly vesting in such successor the estate, rights, powers and duties hereby vested or intended to be vested in the predecessor Trustee, any and all such instruments in writing shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Authority. Section 8.11. Appointment of Co- Trustee. It is the purpose of this Indenture that there shall be no violation of any law of any jurisdiction (including particularly the law of the State) denying or restricting the right of banking corporations or associations to transact business as Trustee in such jurisdiction. It is recognized that in the case of litigation under this Indenture, and in particular in case of the enforcement of the rights of the Trustee on default, or in the case the Trustee deems that by reason of any present or future law of any jurisdiction it may not exercise any of the powers, rights or remedies herein granted to the Trustee or hold title to the properties, in trust, as herein granted, or take any other action which may be desirable or necessary in connection therewith, it may be necessary that the Trustee appoint an additional individual or institution as a separate co- trustee. The following provisions of this Section 8.11 are adopted to these ends. In the event that the Trustee appoints an additional individual or institution as a separate or co- trustee, each and every remedy, power, right, claim, demand, cause of action, immunity, estate, title, interest and lien expressed or intended by this Indenture to be exercised by or vested in or conveyed to the Trustee with respect thereto shall be exercisable by and vest in such separate or co- trustee but only to the extent necessary to enable such separate or co- trustee to exercise such powers, rights and remedies, and every covenant and obligation necessary to the exercise thereof by such separate or co- trustee shall run to and be enforceable by either of them. Should any instrument in writing from the Authority be required by the separate trustee or co- trustee so appointed by the Trustee for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to it such properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations, any and all such instruments in writing shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Authority. In case any separate trustee or co- trustee, or a successor to either, shall become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the estates, properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of such separate trustee or co- trustee, so far as permitted by law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee until the appointment of a new trustee or successor to such separate trustee or co- trustee. Section 8.12. Indemnification; Limited Liability of Trustee. The Authority further covenants and agrees to indemnify and save the Trustee and its officers, directors, agents and employees, harmless against any loss, expense, including legal fees and expenses, and liabilities which it may incur arising out of or in the exercise and performance of its powers and duties hereunder, including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending against any claim of liability or arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading in any official statement or other disclosure utilized in connection with the sale of the Bonds, but excluding -36- any and all losses, expenses and liabilities which are due to the negligence or misconduct of the Trustee, its officers, directors, agents or employees. No provision in this Indenture shall require the Trustee to risk or expend its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability hereunder if repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such liability or risk is not assured to it. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in accordance with the direction of the Owners of at least a majority of the principal amount of the Bonds relating to the time, method and place of exercising any trust or power or conducting any proceeding or remedy available to the Trustee under this Indenture of for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages. The obligations of the Authority hereunder and Section 8.03 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee, or the discharge of this Indenture. -37- ARTICLE IX MODIFICATION OR AMENDMENT OF THIS INDENTURE Section 9.01.

(d) Prior to the Trustee entering into any Supplemental Indenture hereunder, there shall be delivered to the Trustee an opinion of Bond Counsel stating, in substance, that such Supplemental Indenture has been adopted in compliance with the requirements of this Indenture and that the adoption of such Supplemental Indenture will not, in and of itself, adversely affect the exclusion from gross income for purposes of federal income taxes of interest on the Bonds.

Section 11.11. Waiver of Personal Liability. No member, officer, agent or employee of the Authority shall be individually or personally liable for the payment of the principal of or interest on the Bonds or be subject to any personal liability or accountability by reason of the issuance thereof; but nothing herein contained shall relieve any such member, officer, agent or employee from the performance of any official duty provided by law or by this Indenture. Section 11.12. Successor Is Deemed Included in All References to Predecessor. Whenever in this Indenture either the Authority or the Trustee is named or referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors or assigns thereof, and all the covenants and agreements in this Indenture contained by or on behalf of the Authority or the Trustee shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns thereof whether so expressed or not.

The provisions of the preceding clause (a), however, are subject to the condition that if, at any time after the principal components of the unpaid Installment Payments shall have been so declared due and payable pursuant to the preceding clause (a), and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the moneys due shall have been obtained or entered, the City shall deposit with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all principal components of the Installment Payments coming due prior to such declaration and all matured interest components (if any) of the Installment Payments, with interest on such overdue principal and interest components calculated at the net effective rate of interest per annum then borne by the Outstanding Bonds, and the reasonable expenses of the Trustee (including any fees and expenses of its attorneys), and any and all other defaults known to the Trustee (other than in the payment of the principal and interest components of the Installment Payments due and payable solely by reason of such declaration) shall have been made good, then, and in every such case, with the written consent of the Trustee, shall rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences. However, no such rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default, or shall impair or exhaust any right or power consequent thereon. As provided in Section 8.6, the Trustee shall be required to exercise the remedies provided herein in accordance with the Indenture. Section 8.3. No Remedy Exclusive. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Authority is intended to be exclusive and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given under this Installment Sale Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver thereof, but any such right and power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. In order to entitle the Authority to exercise any remedy reserved to it in this Article VIII it shall not be necessary to give any notice, other than such notice as may be required in this Article VIII or by law. Section 8.4. Agreement to Pay Attorneys' Fees and Expenses. In the event either party to this Installment Sale Agreement shall default under any of the provisions hereof and the nondefaulting party, the Trustee or the Owner of any Bonds should employ attorneys or incur other expenses for the collection of moneys or the enforcement or performance or observance of any obligation or agreement on the part of the defaulting party herein contained, the defaulting party agrees that it will on demand therefor pay to the nondefaulting party, the Trustee or such Owner, as the case may be, the reasonable fees of such attorneys and such other expenses so incurred. Section 8.5. No Additional Waiver Implied by One Waiver. In the event any agreement contained in this Installment Sale Agreement shall be breached by either party and thereafter waived by the other party, such waiver shall be limited to the particular breach so waived and shall not be deemed to waive any other breach hereunder. Section 8.6. Trustee and Bond Owners to Exercise Rights. Such rights and remedies as are given to the Authority under this Article VIII have been assigned by the Authority to the Trustee under the Indenture, to which assignment the City hereby consents. Such rights and remedies shall be exercised by Trustee and the Owners of the Bonds as provided in the Indenture. Section 8.7. Rights of the Owners of Parity Obligations. Notwithstanding anything in this Article VIII to the contrary, it is hereby acknowledged and agreed that the rights of the Trustee and the Bond Owners hereunder in and to the Net Revenues and the Enterprise shall be exercised on a parity and proportionate basis with the rights of the owners of any Parity -17- Obligations and any fiduciary acting for the benefit of such owners.

The Authority is a joint exercise of powers authority duly organized and validly existing under all applicable laws, with full legal right, power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under the Installment Sale Agreement, dated as of November 1, 2013 (the "Installment Sale Agreement "), by and between the Authority and the City, the Indenture of Trust, dated as of November 1, 2013 (the "Indenture "), by and between the Authority and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as *trustee (the "Trustee "), and the Bond Purchase Agreement, dated October 24, 2013 (the "Bond Purchase Agreement "), by and among the Authority, the City and First Southwest Company, as Underwriter, (collectively, the "Authority Documents "). The Authority has duly authorized, executed and delivered the Authority Documents and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties thereto (other than the City), each of the Authority Documents constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Authority enforceable against the Authority in accordance with its terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, moratorium, insolvency, equitable remedies and other laws affecting creditors' rights or remedies. 2. The City is a municipal corporation organized and validly existing under all applicable laws, with full legal right, power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under the Installment Sale Agreement, the Bond Purchase Agreement, the Continuing Disclosure Certificate (as defined in the Bond Purchase Agreement), substantially in the form included in the Official Statement (as hereinafter defined) as Appendix F (collectively, the "City Documents "). The City has duly approved the City Documents and has duly authorized, executed and delivered the City Documents and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties thereto (other than the Authority), each of the City Documents constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the City enforceable against the City in accordance with its terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, moratorium, insolvency, equitable remedies and other laws affecting creditors' rights or remedies. 3. The Authority has duly and validly adopted Resolution No. 13 =_ approving the Authority Documents at a meeting duly called and held, and such Resolution is in full force and effect and has not been amended, modified or repealed since its adoption. Exhibit A Page 1 4. The City has duly and validly adopted Resolution No. 13 -_ approving the City Documents at a meeting duly called and held, and such Resolution is in full force and effect and has not been amended, modified or repealed since its adoption. 5. There is no action, suit or proceeding before or by any court, government agency, public board or body pending or, to the best of our knowledge, threatened wherein an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding would (a) affect the creation, organization, existence or powers of the Authority or the City or the titles of their respective officers or officials to their respective offices, (b) in any way question or affect the validity or enforceability of any of the Authority Documents, the City Documents, or any resolutions, (c) find illegal, invalid or unenforceable any of the Authority Documents, the City Documents, or the Ordinances or the transactions contemplated thereby, or any other agreement or instrument related to the issuance of the Bonds to which the Authority or the City is a party, (d) affect the issuance or delivery of any of the Bonds, the payment or collection of any revenues or charges of the City's water enterprise, the validity of the pledge of or lien on such revenues or charges for the benefit of the owners of the Bonds, the exclusion of interest on the Bonds from gross income, the powers of the Authority or the City, or the authority of the Authority to issue the Bonds or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by the Authority Documents, the City Documents, the Ordinances or the Bonds, (e) affect the power and authority of the City to establish, maintain and collect rates and charges for water collection and treatment and other services, facilities and commodities sold, furnished or supplied through the facilities of the City's water system, or (f) contest the completeness or accuracy of the Preliminary Official Statement relating to the Bonds, dated October 2, 2013, or the Official Statement relating to the Bonds, dated October 24, 2013 (the "Official Statement "). 6. The execution and delivery of the Authority Documents and the City Documents and the other instruments contemplated by any of such documents, and compliance with the provisions thereof, do not conflict with or constitute a breach of or default under any applicable law or administrative rule or regulation of the State of California, the United States or any department or agency of either thereof, or any applicable court or administrative decree or order or any loan agreement, note, resolution, indenture, trust agreement, contract, agreement or other instrument to which the Authority or the City is subject or bound in a manner which would materially adversely affect the Authority's or the City's performance thereunder. 7. Any and all consents, authorizations, approvals and orders of or filings or registrations with any governmental authority, legislative body, board, agency or commission having jurisdiction which would constitute a condition precedent to, or the absence of which would materially adversely affect, the performance by the Authority or the City of its obligations under the Authority Documents or the City Documents, respectively, have been obtained and are in full force and effect. 8. Although 1 have not verified and am not passing upon, and do not assume any responsibility for, the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the information contained in the Official Statement, nothing has come to our attention causing us to believe that the Official Statement (excluding therefrom the information relating to DTC, Cede & Co. and the book -entry system; as to all of which I express no view), as of its date, or as of the date hereof, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
