Upon termination, Bond Counsel shall have no future duty of any kind to or with respect to the Bonds or the City, For various cost and other reasons, Bond Counsel reserves the right to dispose, in any manner it chooses, of any documents or other materials retained by it after such termination. Section 4. Nature of Enl!al!ement; Relationships With Other Parties. The role of bond counsel, generally, is to prepare or review the procedures for issuance ofthe bonds, notes or other evidence of indebtedness and to provide an expert legal opinion with respect to the validity thereof and other subjects (usually including the tax status of interest on the bonds) addressed by the opinion, Consistent with the historical origin and unique role of bond counsel, and reliance thereon by the public finance market, Bond Counsel's role as bond counsel under this Agreement is to provide opinions and related legal services that represent an objective judgment on the matters addressed rather than the partisan position of an advocate. In performing its services as bond counsel in connection with the Bonds, Bond Counsel will act as bond counsel to the City with respect to the issuance of the Bonds; that is, Bond Counsel will assist City Attorney in representing the City but only with respect to the validity of the Major Legal Documents and the tax status of interest on the Bonds, and in a manner not inconsistent with the role of bond counsel described in the first sentence ofthis Section. The City acknowledges that Bond Counsel regularly performs legal services for many private and public entities in connection with a wide variety of matters. For example, Bond Counsel has represented, is representing or may in the future represent other public entities, underwriters, trustees, rating agencies, insurers, credit enhancement providers, lenders, contractors, suppliers, financial and other consultants/advisors, accountants, investment providers/brokers, providers/brokers of derivative products and others who may have a role or interest in the financing or that may be involved with or adverse to the City in this or some other matter. Bond Counsel agrees not to represent any such entity in connection with the issuance of any series of Bonds, during the term of this Agreement, without the consent of the City, except possibly with respect to investment or derivative products where, because Bond Counsel has assisted a number of the providers/brokers in designing and developing their products and provides general and transactional advice with respect to such products, it is not practical to seek specific consent in each case, and instead Bond Counsel agrees to separate the attorneys working on the financings pursuant to this Agreement from the attorneys working on the investment or derivative products. Given the special, limited role of bond counsel described above, the City acknowledges that no conflict of interest exists or would exist, and waives any actual or potential conflict of interest that might be deemed to arise, now or in the future, from this Agreement or any such other relationship that Bond Counsel may have had, have or enter into, and the City specifically consents to any and all such relationships. Section 5. Limitation of Ril!hts to Parties; Successor and Assil!ns. Nothing in this Agreement or in any of the documents contemplated hereby, expressed or imp Ii ed, is intended or shall be construed to give any person other than the City and Bond Counsel any legal or equitable DOCSLAl,466575.3 42081-8GHI 6 right or claim under or in respect of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall inure to the so Ie and exclusive benefit of the City and Bond Counsel. Bond Counsel may not assign its obligations under this Agreement without written consent of the City except to a successor partnership or corporation to which all or substantially all of the assets and operations of Bond Counsel are transferred. The City may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Bonds of a Community Facilities District to (but only to) such Community Facilities District. The City shall not otherwise assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement without written consent of Bond Counsel. All references to Bond Counsel and the City in this Agreement shall be deemed to refer to any such successor of Bond Counsel and to any such assignee of the City and shall bind and inure to the benefit of such successor and assignee whether so expressed or not. Section 6. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and each counterpart shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same Agreement. Section 7. Notices. Any and all notices pertaining to this Agreement shall be sent by U.S. Postal Service, first class, postage prepaid to Bond Counsel at 777 South Figueroa Street, Suite 3200, Los Angeles, California 90017, Attention: Greg Harrington, and to the City at 300 Centennial Way, Tustin, California 92680, Attention: Ronald A. Nault, Director of Finance. Section 8. Applicable Law.

Due to the various development projects and their various development schedules, a stand-alone absorption study would be beneficial to the appraiser and the City. In compliance with the Standards of the Appraisal Institute, we will complete a cursory review of the market to test the reasonableness of the absorption estimates for use in the Developmental Analysis. In keeping with the Standards set forth by CDIAC. the property rights to be appraised will be the fee simple estate, subject to special tax and special assessment liens. The Market Value provided will include the "As Is" value, which assumes the CFD is established and funding for a portion of the public improvements is available with this bond issue. This reflects our philosophy that the value indicated by the CDIAC guidelines is consistent with the value a prudent investor would pay for the property after the CFD is established.

Appraisals were also completed for the County of Orange for four primarily industrial and commercial CFD's adjacent to the EI Toro Marine Base. The recent appraisals completed in Ladera Ranch would be considered most similar to this proposed district. They included numerous detached dwellings, attached dwellings, apartments, retail centers and office uses. The appraisals included raw land, land under construction, finished residential lots, dwellings and buildings under construction, and completed model and production dwellings. Ladera Ranch will contain approximately 8,000 units when completed. For this assignment, we are anticipating several meetings with the Finance Team.

The purpose of this proposal is to outline our Relevant Experience, our understanding of the Background and Objectives, the Scope of Work required to accomplish those objectives, Engagement Team, Deliverables, Time Requirements, and Terms and Conditions that will govern the engagement. I. RELEVANT ABSORPTION STUDY EXPERIENCE The Meyers Group has conducted numerous absorption analysis studies for Mello-Roos Districts, Local Improvement Districts (LID's), Special Improvement Districts (SID's) and Community Facilities Districts (CFD's) throughout California and Nevada. These studies have included all of the land uses proposed within the Tustin Marine Base master pIan, and our professional staff has extensive experience in analyzing residential housing and commercial projects of all types. Recently completed absorption studies for large-scale projects include Phase II of Anthem (Henderson, Nevada), Playa Vista (Los Angeles), Sycamore Creek (Corona), ArrowCreek (Reno), North Natomas (Sacramento), Rancho Carrillo (Carlsbad), Paloma (San Marcos), and Lomas Verdes, SPA I and Otay Ranch-Village One (Chula Vista), In addition, on behalf of school districts, we have recently analyzed active and proposed housing and prepared building permit projections for areas within the North City West School Facilities Financing Authority (Carmel Valley and Sorrento Hills) and the San Dieguito Union High School Districts. meyersgroup Building Knowledge.. Mr. Ronald A. Nault CITY OF TUSTIN May 11, 2004 Page 2 In addition to our absorption analysis experience, we have maintained a database of information relative to the new residential housing market in the Orange County and Tustin area for 15 years and our Real Estate Consulting Group has performed market analyses of numerous housing and commercial projects in the Orange County market area. II. BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The City of Tustin is planning to form various special tax districts to pay for infrastructure to develop the former Tustin Marine Base, The MCAS-Tustin closed in 1999 and a process oflocal planning has led to a master pIan for up to +/-4,518 residential units and other land uses. The first residential development is now getting underway. This proposal covers the initial bond issuance. The initial district will consist of two parcels, with 43 taxable acres. There will be +/- 565 single family units built, with sizes ranging from 1,600 to 3,300 square feet. The build-out of these units is projected to take three years. The primary objective of this assignment is to analyze the residential market in the Orange County and Tustin area to determine relevant market trends, implications for the subject project and to develop corresponding absorption estimates for the planned residential development. Factors to be examined include economic and demographic trends, historical market trends for each land use, existing and proposed projects of the types proposed, projected market demand and additional site-specific considerations as appropriate. Based on our assessment of the attributes of the subject properties themselves, our conclusions regarding potential opportunities and constraints as indicated by demographic and economic trends, and relevant supply and demand considerations, we will provide conclusions and recommendations relevant to the development pIan as proposed and the absorption potential for the planned residential units. We will evaluate the impact of external events (changes in interest rates, etc) on the proj ected absorption, meyersgroup Building Knowledge.. Mr. Ronald A. Nault CITY OF TUSTIN May 11, 2004 Page 3 III. SCOPE OF WORK To meet the objectives of this assignment, we will conduct the following scope of professional services. 1.

Definition of Competitive Market Area: Determine the most appropriate competitive market area for each land use proposed for the subject project. Determination will be made based on existing and planned transportation routes, natural and man-made geographic boundaries, patterns of housing and commercial growth, historical market perceptions, etc. 2. 3, Economic and Demographic Overview: Compile pertinent demographic data for the Orange County and Tustin area and analyze in the context of future development such as that proposed. Data to be compiled will include population and household growth trends, employment growth and distribution, household income levels, age distribution, etc. Data will be utilized to help determine anticipated future demand potential for residential development in the Tustin market area, Historical Market Data: Compile relevant historical data on the Tustin area housing market.

This analysis will cover all projects in various stages of the approval process in the relevant market area, and to some extent, projects in other areas (if they would be competitive with the subject project). Demand Analysis: Conduct a statistical demand analysis to quantify the future demand potential for the residential development proposed for the project. Demand will be based on a combination of statistical and judgmental methodologies, and will result in annual demand projections over the relevant timeframe of the subject project. Demand will be expressed in terms of annual units of demand for residential units. Conclusions: Analyze all of the above information and draw conclusions relative to current and future market trends and assess the potential for the development and absorption of residential uses within the District. 10, Absorption Strategy: Based on the above analysis, we will provide recommendations with regard to anticipated absorption of the subject units.
