It is recommended that the Board of Directors of the Tustin Financing Authority: 1. ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 25-01 AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF ITS SPECIAL TAX REVENUE REFUNDING BONDS IN AN AGGREGATE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $63 MILLION AND APPROVING CERTAIN DOCUMENTS AND TAKING CERTAIN OTHER ACTIONS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH FISCAL IMPACT: The 2025 Refunding Bonds will have no financial impact on the City's General Fund, as all payments of principal and interest on the 2025 Refunding Bonds will be paid solely from the special tax revenues levied and collected from properties located in the affected community facilities districts. All bond issuance costs will be paid from the proceeds of the Bonds. It is estimated that the refunding of the 2015 CFD Bonds will reduce annual debt service payments by approximately $485,000 per year, totaling over $3.6 million in net present value saving over the remaining term of the 2015 CFD Bonds based on market conditions as of April 30, 2025. CORRELATION TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN: The recommendation correlates to the strategic plan by implementing Goal E. Organizational Excellence and Customer Services. Specifically, the City continues to fulfill its obligations as the Community Facilities District's administrator by proactively identifying opportunities to generate measurable long-term savings for property owners. Docusign Envelope ID: 3EFE5DEg-C71E-480B-80B0-BFC4B657B312 City Council Agenda Report Authorize Bond Issuance to Refund 2015 CFD Bonds May 20, 2025 Page 3 BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION: The CFD No. 06-1 Special Tax Refunding Bonds Series 2015A & Series 2015B, totaling $52.48 million, were issued for two purposes: (1) to refund outstanding bonds that were originally used to fund public infrastructure projects related to the Columbus Square and Columbus Grove communities; and (2) to provide funding for additional infrastructure at the same communities. These bonds currently have an outstanding balance of $41.21 million and mature in 2039. The CFD No. 2014-1 Special Tax Bonds Series 2015A $27.67 million were issued to fund public infrastructure for the Standard Pacific Project at Tustin Legacy. These bonds currently have an outstanding balance of $25.495 million and mature in 2045. The CFD bonds are not the obligations of the City. They are the liabilities of the property owners within the affected CFD and secured by liens against the assessed properties. The City serves as the CFD's administrator and is responsible for on -going reporting and other administrative matters, including acting as an agent for the collection of principal and interest by the property owners via annual property tax assessments, and remittance of such monies to the bondholders. As CFD administrator, the City has fiduciary responsibility for the best interest of the district's property owners. The City, working with its Municipal Advisor, Fieldman, Rolapp & Associates, Inc., has determined that, due to prevailing financial market conditions, it is in the best interests of the affected property owners to refund the outstanding 2015 CFD Bonds. The proposed 2025 Refunding Bonds will have the same maturity as the 2015 Bonds. Due to current market conditions with lower interest rates, low historical delinquency rates within both CFD No. 2014-1 and CFD No. 06-1, and the 2015 CFD Bonds being callable at no premium on September 1, 2025, the property owners within both CFD's are expected to benefit from this refunding. The preliminary analysis indicates an estimated net present value savings of approximately 5.4%, based on estimated market rates as of April 30, 2025. The net present value savings over the life of the issues are currently estimated to exceed $3.6 million. The property owners are estimated to save approximately $520 on average per year for CFD No. 2014-1 and $93 on average per year for CFD No. 06-1. The City Council should note that due to daily changes in interest rates, the actual level of savings cannot be determined until the proposed 2025 Refunding Bonds have been priced and sold. The pricing date is tentatively set for the week of May 27, 2025. The proposed 2025 Refunding Bonds will not be issued if interest rates rise to the point where a 3% net present value savings cannot be achieved. If the savings cannot be achieved, the market will be monitored and the 2015 CFD Bonds will be refunded when at least 3% savings can be achieved. Based on current market conditions it is anticipated that the estimated savings will exceed the 3% net present value threshold contained in the City's Debt Management Policy.

Moneys deposited in the Surplus Fund will be transferred by the Trustee at the direction of an Authorized Representative of the City (i) to the Interest Account, the Principal Account or the Redemption Account of the Special Tax Fund to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds and any Parity Bonds when due in the event that moneys in the Special Tax Fund and the Reserve Account are insufficient therefor, (ii) to the Reserve Account in order to replenish the Reserve Account to the Reserve Requirement, (iii) to the CFD No. 06-1 Reserve Account to restore the CFD No. 06-1 Reserve Account to the Proportionate Share and to pay Policy Costs, (iv) to the Administrative Expense Fund to pay Administrative Expenses to the extent that the amounts on deposit in the Administrative Expense Fund are insufficient to pay Administrative Expenses, (v) for any other lawful purpose of the District.

The actual receipt by the Owner of any Bond or Parity Bond or the original purchaser of any Bond or Parity Bond of notice of such redemption shall not be a condition precedent to redemption, and neither the failure to receive nor any defect in such notice shall affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of such Bonds or Parity Bonds, or the cessation of interest on the redemption date. A certificate by the Trustee that notice of such redemption has been given as herein provided shall be conclusive as against all parties and the Owner shall not be entitled to show that he or she failed to receive notice of such redemption.

In addition to the foregoing notice, further notice shall be given by the Trustee as set out below if the Bonds or Parity Bonds are not owned by the Authority at the time the notice of redemption is given pursuant to this Section 4.3, provided that no defect in said further notice nor any failure to give all or any portion of such further notice shall in any manner defeat the effectiveness of a call for redemption if notice thereof is given as above prescribed.

The Trustee shall mail notice of such rescission of redemption in the same manner as the original notice of redemption was sent.

ARTICLE V COVENANTS AND WARRANTY Section 5.1. Warranty. The District shall preserve and protect the security pledged hereunder to the Bonds and any Parity Bonds against all claims and demands of all persons. Section 5.2. Covenants. So long as any of the Bonds or Parity Bonds issued hereunder are Outstanding and unpaid, the District makes the following covenants with the Bondowners under the provisions of the Act and this Indenture (to be performed by the District or its proper officers, agents or employees), which covenants are necessary and desirable to secure the Bonds and Parity Bonds and tend to make them more marketable; provided, however, that said covenants do not require the District to expend any funds or moneys other than the Special Taxes and other amounts deposited to the Special Tax Fund: (a) Punctual Payment; Against Encumbrances. The District covenants that it will receive all Special Taxes in trust for the Owners and will cause to be deposited all Special Taxes with the Trustee immediately upon their apportionment to the District, and the District shall have no beneficial right or interest in the amounts so deposited except as provided by this Indenture. All such Special Taxes shall be disbursed, allocated and applied solely to the uses and purposes set forth herein, and shall be accounted for separately and apart from all other money, funds, accounts or other resources of the District. The District covenants that it will duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid the principal of and interest on every Bond and Parity Bond issued hereunder, together with the premium, if any, thereon on the date, at the place and in the manner set forth in the Bonds and the Parity Bonds and in accordance with this Indenture to the extent that Net Special Taxes and other amounts pledged hereunder are available therefor, and that the payments into the Funds and Accounts created hereunder will be made, all in strict conformity with the terms of the Bonds, any Parity Bonds, and this Indenture, and that it will faithfully observe and perform all of the conditions, covenants and requirements of this Indenture and all Supplemental Indentures and of the Bonds and any Parity Bonds issued hereunder. The District will not mortgage or otherwise encumber, pledge or place any charge upon any of the Net Special Taxes except as provided in this Indenture, and will not issue any obligation or security having a lien or charge upon the Net Special Taxes superior to or on a parity with the Bonds, other than Parity Bonds. Nothing herein shall prevent the District from issuing or incurring indebtedness which is payable from a pledge of Net Special Taxes which is subordinate in all respects to the pledge of Net Special Taxes to repay the Bonds and the Parity Bonds. 26 4911-9433-7829v6/202091-0001 Docusign Envelope ID: 3EFE5DE9-C71E-480B-80B0-BFC4B657B312 (b) Levy of Special Tax. So long as any Bonds or Parity Bonds issued under this Indenture are Outstanding, the legislative body of the District covenants to levy the Special Tax in an amount sufficient, together with other amounts on deposit in the Special Tax Fund and available for such purpose, to pay (1) the principal of and interest on the Bonds and any Parity Bonds when due, (2) the Administrative Expenses, (3) any amounts required to maintain the Reserve Account of the Special Tax Fund at the Reserve Requirement, (4) any amounts required to replenish the CFD No. 06-1 Reserve Account to the Proportionate Share and pay all Policy Costs resulting from the delinquency in the payment of scheduled debt service on the Bonds or any Parity Bonds, and (5) any amounts due to the Bond Insurer not included in (1) through (4) above. The District further covenants that it will take no actions that would discontinue or cause the discontinuance of the Special Tax levy or the District's authority to levy the Special Tax for so long as the Bonds and any Parity Bonds are Outstanding. (c) Commence Foreclosure Proceedings. The District covenants for the benefit of the Owners of the Bonds and any Parity Bonds that it (i) will commence judicial foreclosure proceedings against parcels with delinquent Special Taxes in excess of $10,000 by the October 1 following the close of each Fiscal Year in which such Special Taxes were due and (ii) will commence judicial foreclosure proceedings against all parcels with delinquent Special Taxes by the October 1 following the close of each Fiscal Year in which it receives Special Taxes in an amount which is less than 95% of the total Special Tax levied, and (iii) will diligently pursue such foreclosure proceedings until the delinquent Special Taxes are paid; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the District may elect to defer foreclosure proceedings on any parcel so long as the amount in the Reserve Account is at least equal to the Reserve Requirement, the amount in the CFD No. 06-1 Reserve Account is at least equal to the District's Proportionate Share and no amounts are owed to the Bond Insurer in connection with the Reserve Policy or Insurance Policy. The District may, but shall not be obligated to, advance funds from any source of legally available funds in order to maintain the Reserve Account and the CFD No. 06-1 Reserve Account. The District may treat any delinquent Special Tax sold to an independent third -party or to any funds of the City for at least 100% of the delinquent amount as having been paid. Proceeds of any such sale up to 100% of the delinquent amount will be deposited in the Special Tax Fund. The District covenants that it will deposit the net proceeds of any foreclosure and any other Delinquency Proceeds in the Special Tax Fund and will apply such proceeds remaining after the payment of Administrative Expenses to pay any delinquent installments of principal or interest due on the Bonds and any Parity Bonds, to make current payments of principal and interest on the Bonds and any Parity Bonds and to replenish any draw on the Reserve Account and the CFD No. 06- 1 Reserve Account, and to pay its proportionate share of Policy Costs resulting from the delinquency in the payment of scheduled debt service on the Bonds or any Parity Bonds. (d) Payment of Claims. The District will pay and discharge any and all lawful claims for labor, materials or supplies which, if unpaid, might become a lien or charge upon the Net Special Taxes or other funds in the Special Tax Fund, or which might impair the security of the Bonds or any Parity Bonds then Outstanding; provided that nothing herein contained shall require the District to make any such payments so long as the District in good faith shall contest the validity of any such claims. (e) Books and Accounts. The District will keep proper books of records and accounts, separate from all other records and accounts of the District, in which complete and correct entries shall be made of all transactions relating to the Project, the levy of the Special Tax and the 27 4911-9433-7829v6/202091-0001 Docusign Envelope ID: 3EFE5DE9-C71E-480B-80B0-BFC4B657B312 deposits to the Special Tax Fund. Such books of records and accounts shall at all times during business hours be subject to the inspection of the Trustee or of the Owners of not less than 10% of the principal amount of the Bonds or the Owners of not less than 10% of any issue of Parity Bonds then Outstanding or their representatives authorized in writing. (f) Federal Tax Covenants. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, absent an opinion of Bond Counsel that the exclusion from gross income of interest on the Authority Bonds issued on a tax-exempt basis for federal income tax purposes will not be adversely affected for federal income tax purposes, the District covenants to comply with all applicable requirements of the Code necessary to preserve such exclusion from gross income and specifically covenants, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, as follows: (1) Private Activity. The District will take no action or refrain from taking any action or make any use of the proceeds of the Bonds or any Parity Bonds or of any other moneys or property which would cause the Authority Bonds issued on a tax-exempt basis for federal income tax purposes to be "private activity bonds" within the meaning of Section 141 of the Code; (2) Arbitrage. The District will make no use of the proceeds of the Bonds or any Parity Bonds or of any other amounts or property, regardless of the source, or take any action or refrain from taking any action which will cause the Authority Bonds issued on a tax-exempt basis for federal income tax purposes to be "arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of Section 148 of the Code; (3) Federal Guaranty. The District will make no use of the proceeds of the Bonds or any Parity Bonds or take or omit to take any action that would cause the Authority Bonds issued on a tax-exempt basis for federal income tax purposes to be "federally guaranteed" within the meaning of Section 149(b) of the Code; (4) Hedge Bonds. The District will make no use of the proceeds of the Bonds or any Parity Bonds or any other amounts or property, regardless of the source, or take any action or refrain from taking any action that would cause the Authority Bonds issued on a tax-exempt basis for federal income tax purposes to be considered "hedge bonds" within the meaning of Section 149(g) of the Code unless the District takes all necessary action to assure compliance with the requirements of Section 149(g) of the Code to maintain the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of interest on the Authority Bonds; and (5) Other Tax Exempt Issues. The District will not use proceeds of other tax exempt securities to redeem any Bonds or Parity Bonds without first obtaining the written opinion of Bond Counsel that doing so will not impair the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of interest on the Authority Bonds issued on a tax-exempt basis. (g) Reduction of Maximum Special Taxes. The District hereby finds and determines that, historically, delinquencies in the payment of special taxes authorized pursuant to the Act in community facilities districts in Southern California have from time to time been at levels requiring the levy of special taxes at the maximum authorized rates in order to make timely payment of principal of and interest on the outstanding indebtedness of such community facilities districts. For this reason, the District hereby determines that a reduction in the maximum Special Tax rates authorized to be levied on parcels in the District below the levels provided in this Section 5.2(g) would interfere with the timely retirement of the Bonds and Parity Bonds. The District determines it 28 4911-9433-7829v6/202091-0001 Docusign Envelope ID: 3EFE5DE9-C71E-480B-80B0-BFC4B657B312 to be necessary in order to preserve the security for the Bonds and Parity Bonds to covenant, and, to the maximum extent that the law permits it to do so, the District hereby does covenant, that it shall not initiate proceedings to reduce the maximum Special Tax rates for the District, unless, in connection therewith, (i) the District receives a certificate from one or more Independent Financial Consultants which, when taken together, certify that, on the basis of the parcels of land and improvements existing in the District as of the July 1 preceding the reduction, the maximum amount of the Special Tax which may be levied on then existing Developed in each Bond Year for any Bonds and Parity Bonds Outstanding will equal at least 110% of the sum of the estimated Administrative Expenses and gross debt service in each Bond Year on all Bonds and Parity Bonds to remain Outstanding after the reduction is approved, (ii) the District finds that any reduction made under such conditions will not adversely affect the interests of the Owners of the Bonds and Parity Bonds, and (iii) no Policy Costs or amounts under the Insurance Policy are due and payable to the Bond Insurer and (iv) the District is not delinquent in the payment of the principal of or interest on the Bonds or any Parity Bonds. For purposes of estimating Administrative Expenses for the foregoing calculation, the Independent Financial Consultants shall compute the Administrative Expenses for the current Fiscal Year and escalate that amount by two percent (2%) in each subsequent Fiscal Year. (h) Covenants to Defend. The District covenants that, in the event that any initiative is adopted by the qualified electors in the District which purports to reduce the minimum or the maximum Special Tax below the levels specified in Section 5.2(g) above or to limit the power of the District to levy the Special Taxes for the purposes set forth in Section 5.2(b) above, it will commence and pursue legal action in order to preserve its ability to comply with such covenants. (i) Limitation on Right to Tender Bonds. The District hereby covenants that it will not adopt any policy pursuant to Section 53344.1 of the Act permitting the tender of Bonds or Parity Bonds in full payment or partial payment of any Special Taxes unless the District shall have first received a certificate from an Independent Financial Consultant that the acceptance of such a tender will not result in the District having insufficient Special Tax revenues to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds and Parity Bonds when due. 0) Further Assurances. The District shall make, execute and deliver any and all such further agreements, instruments and assurances as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out the intention or to facilitate the performance of this Indenture and for the better assuring and confirming unto the Owners of the Bonds and any Parity Bonds of the rights and benefits provided in this Indenture. (k) Subordinate Debt. Any indebtedness of the District evidenced by any subordinated debt and any renewals or extensions thereof (herein called "Subordinated Indebtedness"), shall at all times be wholly subordinate and junior in right of payment to any and all indebtedness of the District under this Indenture (herein called "Superior Indebtedness"). Following an event of default under this Indenture, no Subordinated Indebtedness shall be paid prior to any Superior Indebtedness in any fiscal year of the District. If the holder of the Subordinated Indebtedness is a commercial bank, savings bank, savings and loan association or other financial institution which is authorized by law to accept and hold deposits of money or issue certificates of deposit, such holder must agree to waive any common law or statutory right of setoff with respect to any deposits of the District maintained with or held by such holder. 29 4911-9433-7829v6/202091-0001 Docusign Envelope ID: 3EFE5DE9-C71E-480B-80B0-BFC4B657B312 (1) Pledged Net Special Taxes. The District represents it has not heretofore made a pledge of, granted a lien on or security interest in, or made an assignment or sale of the Net Special Taxes that ranks on a parity with or prior to the pledge granted under this Indenture. The District, except as may be provided otherwise in this Indenture, shall not hereafter make any pledge or assignment of, lien on, or security interest in the Net Special Taxes payable senior to or on a parity with the pledge of Net Special Taxes established under this Indenture. ARTICLE VI AMENDMENTS TO INDENTURE Section 6.1. Supplemental Indentures or Orders Not Requiring Bondowner Consent. The District may from time to time, and at any time, without notice to or consent of any of the Bondowners, adopt Supplemental Indentures for any of the following purposes provided: (a) to cure any ambiguity or formal defects or omissions or to correct any inconsistent provisions in this Indenture or any Supplemental Indenture; (b) to grant or confer upon the holders of the Bonds any additional rights, remedies, powers, authority or security that may lawfully be granted to or conferred upon the holders of the Bonds; or (c) to add to the conditions, limitations and restrictions on the issuance of bonds or other obligations under the provisions of the Indenture other conditions, limitations and restrictions thereafter to be observed; or (d) to add to the covenants and agreements of the District in this Indenture other covenants and agreements thereafter to be observed by the District or to surrender any right or power therein reserved to or conferred upon the District. Section 6.2. Supplemental Indentures or Orders Requiring Bondowner Consent. Exclusive of the Supplemental Indentures described in Section 6.1, the Owners of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds and Parity Bonds Outstanding shall have the right to consent to and approve the adoption by the District of such Supplemental Indentures as shall be deemed necessary or desirable by the District, for the purpose of waiving, modifying, altering, amending, adding to or rescinding, in any particular, any of the terms or provisions contained in this Indenture; provided, however, that nothing herein shall permit, or be construed as permitting, (a) an extension of the maturity date of the principal, or the payment date of interest on, any Bond or Parity Bond, (b) a reduction in the principal amount of, or redemption premium on, any Bond or Parity Bond or the rate of interest thereon, (c) a preference or priority of any Bond or Parity Bond over any other Bond or Parity Bond, or (d) a reduction in the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds and Parity Bonds the Owners of which are required to consent to such Supplemental Indenture, without the consent of the Owners of all Bonds and Parity Bonds then Outstanding. If at any time the District shall desire to adopt a Supplemental Indenture, which pursuant to the terms of this Section shall require the consent of the Bondowners, the District shall so notify the Trustee and shall deliver to the Trustee a copy of the proposed Supplemental Indenture. The Trustee shall, at the expense of the District, cause notice of the proposed Supplemental Indenture to be mailed, by first class mail, postage prepaid, to all Bondowners at their addresses as they appear in the 30 4911-9433-7829v6/202091-0001 Docusign Envelope ID: 3EFE5DE9-C71E-480B-80B0-BFC4B657B312 Bond Register (if the Authority or the Authority Trustee on the Authority's behalf is the owner of all the Bonds, such amendment may be delivered by other communication methods). Such notice shall briefly set forth the nature of the proposed Supplemental Indenture and shall state that a copy thereof is on file at the office of the Trustee for inspection by all Bondowners. The failure of any Bondowners to receive such notice shall not affect the validity of such Supplemental Indenture when consented to and approved by the Owners of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds and Parity Bonds Outstanding as required by this Section. Whenever at any time within one year after the date of the first mailing of such notice, the Trustee shall receive an instrument or instruments purporting to be executed by the Owners of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds and Parity Bonds Outstanding, which instrument or instruments shall refer to the proposed Supplemental Indenture described in such notice, and shall specifically consent to and approve the adoption thereof by the District substantially in the form of the copy referred to in such notice as on file with the Trustee, such proposed Supplemental Indenture, when duly adopted by the District, shall thereafter become a part of the proceedings for the issuance of the Bonds and any Parity Bonds. In determining whether the Owners of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds and Parity Bonds have consented to the adoption of any Supplemental Indenture, Bonds or Parity Bonds which are owned by the District or by any person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under the direct or indirect common control with the District, shall be disregarded and shall be treated as though they were not Outstanding for the purpose of any such determination. Upon the adoption of any Supplemental Indenture and the receipt of consent to any such Supplemental Indenture from the Owners of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds and Parity Bonds in instances where such consent is required pursuant to the provisions of this section, this Indenture shall be, and shall be deemed to be, modified and amended in accordance therewith, and the respective rights, duties and obligations under this Indenture of the District and all Owners of Outstanding Bonds and Parity Bonds shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder, subject in all respects to such modifications and amendments. The Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such Supplemental Indenture authorized by Sections 6.1 and 6.2 which affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the Insurance Policy is in full force and effect, any amendment, supplement, modification to, or waiver of, this Indenture pursuant to this Section 6.2 shall be subject to the prior written consent of the Bond Insurer. Section 6.3. Notation of Bonds or Parity Bonds; Delivery of Amended Bonds or Parity Bonds. After the effective date of any action taken as hereinabove provided, the District may determine that the Bonds or any Parity Bonds may bear a notation, by endorsement in form approved by the District, as to such action, and in that case upon demand of the Owner of any Outstanding Bond or Parity Bond at such effective date and presentation of his Bond or Parity Bond for the purpose at the office of the Trustee or at such additional offices as the Trustee may select and designate for that purpose, a suitable notation as to such action shall be made on such Bonds or Parity Bonds. If the District shall so determine, new Bonds or Parity Bonds so modified as, in the opinion of the District, shall be necessary to conform to such action shall be prepared and executed, and in that case upon demand of the Owner of any Outstanding Bond or Parity Bond at such effective date such new Bonds or Parity Bonds shall be exchanged at the office of the Trustee or at such additional offices as the Trustee may select and designate for that purpose, without cost to each Owner of Outstanding Bonds or Parity Bonds, upon surrender of such Outstanding Bonds or Parity Bonds. 31 4911-9433-7829v6/202091-0001 Docusign Envelope ID: 3EFE5DE9-C71E-480B-80B0-BFC4B657B312 Section 6.4. Reliance on Opinion. In executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article or the modification thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an opinion of counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and complies with the terms hereof. ARTICLE VII TRUSTEE Section 7.1. Trustee. The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., shall be the Trustee for the Bonds and any Parity Bonds unless and until another Trustee is appointed by the District hereunder. The District may, at any time, appoint a successor Trustee satisfying the requirements of Section 7.2 below for the purpose of receiving all money which the District is required to deposit with the Trustee hereunder and to allocate, use and apply the same as provided in this Indenture; provided, however, that the Trustee shall be at all times the same entity as the Authority Trustee. The Bond Insurer shall receive prior written notice of any name change of the Trustee. The Trustee is hereby authorized to and shall mail by first class mail, postage prepaid, or wire transfer in accordance with Section 2.5 above, interest payments to the Bondowners, to select Bonds and Parity Bonds for redemption, and to maintain the Bond Register. The Trustee is hereby authorized to pay the principal of and premium, if any, on the Bonds and Parity Bonds when the same are duly presented to it for payment at maturity or on call and redemption, to provide for the registration of transfer and exchange of Bonds and Parity Bonds presented to it for such purposes, to provide for the cancellation of Bonds and Parity Bonds all as provided in this Indenture, and to provide for the authentication of Bonds and Parity Bonds, and shall perform all other duties assigned to or imposed on it as provided in this Indenture. The Trustee shall keep accurate records of all funds administered by it and all Bonds and Parity Bonds paid, discharged and cancelled by it. The Trustee is hereby authorized to redeem the Bonds and Parity Bonds when duly presented for payment at maturity, or on redemption prior to maturity. The Trustee shall cancel all Bonds and Parity Bonds upon payment thereof in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.1 hereof.

In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for any consequential, punitive, indirect, incidental or special damages or loss of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and 32 4911-9433-7829v6/202091-0001 Docusign Envelope ID: 3EFE5DE9-C71E-480B-80B0-BFC4B657B312 regardless of the form of action. The foregoing obligation of the District to indemnify the Trustee shall survive the removal or resignation of the Trustee and the discharge of the Bonds. Section 7.2. Removal of Trustee. No removal of the Trustee shall become effective until a successor meeting the requirements below or otherwise acceptable to the Bond Insurer, so long as the Insurance Policy is in full force and effect and the Bond Insurer has not defaulted on its obligations thereunder, shall be qualified and appointed and shall have accepted its appointment. The District may at any time at its sole discretion remove the Trustee initially appointed, upon 30 days prior written notice, and any successor thereto, by delivering to the Trustee a written notice of its decision to remove the Trustee and may appoint a successor or successors thereto; provided that any such successor shall (a) national banking association that is supervised by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and has at least Two Hundred Fifty Million Dollars ($250,000,000) of assets; (b) a state -chartered commercial bank that is a member of the Federal Reserve System and has at least $1 billion of assets; or (c) otherwise approved by the Bond Insurer in writing. If any bank, association or trust company appointed as a successor 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 purposes of this section the combined capital and surplus of such bank, association 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. Any removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee and notice being sent by the successor Trustee to the Bondowners of the successor Trustee's identity and address. Section 7.3. Resignation of Trustee. The Trustee may at any time resign and discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder by giving written notice to the District and by giving to the Owners notice of such resignation, which notice shall be sent to the Owners at their addresses appearing in the registration books in the office of the Trustee. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the District shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee satisfying the criteria in Section 7.2 above by an instrument in writing. No resignation of the Trustee shall become effective until a successor meeting the requirements of Section 7.2 above or otherwise acceptable to the Bond Insurer, so long as the Insurance Policy is in full force and effect and the Bond Insurer has not defaulted on its obligations thereunder, shall be qualified and appointed and shall have accepted its appointment. If no successor Trustee shall have been appointed and have accepted appointment within thirty (30) calendar days of giving notice of removal or notice of resignation as aforesaid, the resigning Trustee or any Owner (on behalf of itself and all other Owners) may, at the sole expense of the District petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee, and such court may thereupon, after such notice (if any) as it may deem proper, appoint such successor Trustee. The Trustee shall be paid in full for any fees and expense owing to it prior to or contemporaneously with the signing of any instrument or agreement to effect the transfer to a successor Trustee. Section 7.4. Liability of Trustee. The recitals of fact and all promises, covenants and agreements contained herein and in the Bonds and any Parity Bonds shall be taken as statements, promises, covenants and agreements of the District, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the same and makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture, the Bonds or any Parity Bonds, and shall incur no responsibility in respect thereof, other than in connection with its duties or obligations specifically set forth herein, in the Bonds and any Parity Bonds, or in the certificate of authentication assigned to or imposed upon the Trustee. The Trustee shall be under no responsibility or duty with respect to the issuance of the Bonds or any 33 4911-9433-7829v6/202091-0001 Docusign Envelope ID: 3EFE5DE9-C71E-480B-80B0-BFC4B657B312 Parity Bonds for value. The Trustee shall not be liable in connection with the performance of its duties hereunder, except for its own negligence or willful misconduct. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted by it or any of its officers, employees or agents in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture. The Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a responsible officer, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use of any proceeds of sale of the Bonds delivered hereunder. The Trustee shall be entitled to request and receive written instructions from the District and/or Owners and shall have no responsibility or liability for any losses or damages of any nature that may arise from any action taken or not taken by the Trustee in accordance with the written direction of any such party.

The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of an Owner and/or the District, pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such party shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity (satisfactory to the Trustee in its sole and absolute discretion) against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction. Neither the Trustee nor any of its directors, officers, employees, agents or affiliates shall be responsible for nor have any duty to monitor the performance or any action of the District or any of its directors, members, officers, agents, affiliates or employee, nor shall it have any liability in connection with the malfeasance or nonfeasance by such party.

The Trustee shall perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. These duties shall be deemed purely ministerial in nature, and the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request, order or direction of any of the Owners pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture unless such Owners shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee in its sole and exclusive direction against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby. The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing or waiver 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 has occurred (which has not been cured or waived) the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.

If the District elects to give the Trustee Instructions using Electronic Means and the Trustee in its discretion elects to act upon such Instructions, the Trustee's understanding of such Instructions shall be deemed controlling. The District understands and agree that the Trustee cannot determine the identity of the actual sender of such Instructions and that the Trustee shall conclusively presume that directions that purport to have been sent by an Authorized Officer listed on the incumbency certificate provided to the Trustee have been sent by 36 4911-9433-7829v6/202091-0001 Docusign Envelope ID: 3EFE5DE9-C71E-480B-80B0-BFC4B657B312 such Authorized Officer.

The Trustee agrees to accept and act upon written instructions and/or directions provided via Electronic Means pursuant to this Indenture provided, however, that: (a) such originally executed instructions and/or directions shall be signed by a person as may be designated and authorized to sign for the party signing such instructions and/or directions, and (b) the Trustee shall have received a current incumbency certificate containing the specimen signature of such designated person. Any such instructions and directions furnished by electronic transmission shall be in the form of attachments in PDF format.

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 its corporate trust business, shall be the successor to the Trustee without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto except where an instrument of transfer or assignment is required by law to effect such succession, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. ARTICLE VIII EVENTS OF DEFAULT; REMEDIES Section 8.1. Events of Default. Any one or more of the following events shall constitute an "event of default": (a) Default in the due and punctual payment of the principal of or redemption premium, if any, on any Bond or Parity Bond when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at maturity as therein expressed, by declaration or otherwise; 37 4911-9433-7829v6/202091-0001 Docusign Envelope ID: 3EFE5DE9-C71E-480B-80B0-BFC4B657B312 (b) Default in the due and punctual payment of the interest on any Bond or Parity Bond when and as the same shall become due and payable; or (c) Except as described in (a) or (b), default shall be made by the District in the observance of any of the agreements, conditions or covenants on its part contained in this Indenture, the Bonds or any Parity Bonds, and such default shall have continued for a period of 30 days after the District shall have been given notice in writing of such default by the Trustee or the Owners of 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds and Parity Bonds; provided, however, that if in the reasonable opinion of the District the default stated in the notice can be corrected, but not within such thirty (30) day period, and corrective action is instituted by the District, with the written approval of the Bond Insurer (so long as the Bond Insurer has not defaulted on any obligation under the Insurance Policy) within such thirty (30) day period and diligently pursued in good faith until the default is corrected, such default shall not be an Event of Default hereunder. The Trustee agrees to give notice to the Owners immediately upon the occurrence of an event of default under (a) or (b) above and within 30 days of the Trustee's knowledge of an event of default under (c) above. Section 8.2. Remedies of Owners.

Every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing, at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and may be exercised without exhausting and without regard to any other remedy conferred by the Act or any other law. The Bonds and any Parity Bonds are not subject to acceleration prior to maturity 38 4911-9433-7829v6/202091-0001 Docusign Envelope ID: 3EFE5DE9-C71E-480B-80B0-BFC4B657B312 When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after the occurrence of an Event of Default, such expenses and the compensation for such services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, arrangement, moratorium, reorganization or other debtor relief law. Nothing herein shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Owners any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, or composition affecting the Bonds or the rights of any Owner thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Owners in any such proceeding without the approval of the Owners so affected.

A waiver of any default or breach of duty or contract by the Trustee or any Owners shall not affect any subsequent default or breach of duty or contract, or impair any rights or remedies on any such subsequent default or breach. No delay or omission of the Trustee or any Owner of any of the Bonds or Parity Bonds 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 of any such default or an acquiescence therein; and every power and remedy conferred upon the Trustee or the Owners by the Act or by this Article VIII may be enforced and exercised from time to time and as often as shall be deemed expedient by the Trustee or the Owners, as the case may be. Section 8.7. Limitations on Rights and Remedies of Owners.

Such notification, request, tender of indemnity and refusal or omission are hereby declared, in every case, to be conditions precedent to the exercise by any Owner of Bonds and Parity Bonds of any remedy hereunder; it being understood and intended that no one or more Owners of Bonds and Parity Bonds shall have any right in any manner whatever by his or their action to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided, and that all proceedings at law or in equity to enforce any provision of this Indenture shall be instituted, had and maintained in the manner herein provided and for the equal benefit of all Owners of the Outstanding Bonds and Parity Bonds. The right of any Owner of any Bond and Parity Bond to receive payment of the principal of and interest and premium (if any) on such Bond and Parity Bond as herein provided or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, shall not be impaired or affected without the written consent of such Owner, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section or any other provision of this Indenture. 40 4911-9433-7829v6/202091-0001 Docusign Envelope ID: 3EFE5DE9-C71E-480B-80B0-BFC4B657B312 Section 8.8.

For so long as the Authority is the Owner of the Bonds, in connection with the calculation of such redemption price, the District shall receive a credit from the Authority from the reduction in the District's Proportionate Share resulting from the redemption of the Bonds and the Authority Bonds so redeemed in connection therewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence of an optional redemption of Bonds in part, the selection of such Bonds to be redeemed shall be subject to the approval of the Bond Insurer. (b) Extraordinary Redemption. The Bonds are subject to extraordinary redemption as a whole, or in part on a pro rata basis among maturities, on any Interest Payment Date, and shall be redeemed by the Trustee, from Prepayments deposited to the Redemption Account pursuant to Section 3.2 at the following redemption prices, expressed as a percentage of the principal amount to be redeemed, together with accrued interest to the redemption date: 22 4920-6615-6325v6/20209 1 -0001 Docusign Envelope ID: 3EFE5DEg-C71E-480B-80B0-BFC4B657B312 Redemption Dates Redemption Prices Any Interest Payment Date from September 1, 20_ through March 1, 20_ 103% September 1, 20 and March 1, 20 102 September 1, 20 and March 1, 20 101 September 1, 20 and any Interest Payment Date thereafter 100 For so long as the Authority is the Owner of the Bonds, in connection with the calculation of such redemption price, the District shall receive a credit from the Authority from the reduction in the Proportionate Share of the Reserve Requirement resulting from the redemption of the Bonds and the Authority Bonds so redeemed in connection therewith. (c) Mandatory Sinking Fund Redemption. The Bonds maturing on September 1, 20_ are subject to mandatory sinking fund redemption prior to maturity, in part, on September 1, 20 , and on each September 1 thereafter by lot, from sinking fund payments at a redemption price equal to the principal amount of Bonds to be redeemed, together with accrued interest to the date of redemption, without premium, as follows: Redemption Date Redemption (September 1) Amount (maturity) The Bonds maturing on September 1, 20_ are subject to mandatory sinking fund redemption prior to maturity, in part, on September 1, 20, and on each September 1 thereafter by lot, from sinking fund payments at a redemption price equal to the principal amount of Bonds to be redeemed, together with accrued interest to the date of redemption, without premium, as follows: Redemption Date Redemption (September 1) Amount (maturity) In the event that the Bonds maturing September 1, 20 or September 1, 20 are redeemed pursuant to Section 4.1(a) or (b) hereof, the sinking fund payments for such Bonds will be reduced as nearly as practicable on a proportionate basis in integral multiples of $5,000. (d) The redemption provisions for Parity Bonds shall be set forth in a Supplemental Indenture. Section 4.2. Selection of Bonds and Parity Bonds for Redemption. If less than all of the Bonds or Parity Bonds Outstanding are to be redeemed, the portion of any Bond or Parity Bond of a denomination of more than $5,000 to be redeemed shall be in the principal amount of $5,000 or an integral multiple thereof. In selecting portions of such Bonds or Parity Bonds for redemption, the Trustee shall treat such Bonds or Parity Bonds, as applicable, as representing that number of Bonds 23 4920-6615-6325v6/20209 1 -0001 Docusign Envelope ID: 3EFE5DEg-C71E-480B-80B0-BFC4B657B312 or Parity Bonds of $5,000 denominations which is obtained by dividing the principal amount of such Bonds or Parity Bonds to be redeemed in part by $5,000. The procedure for the selection of Parity Bonds for redemption may be modified as set forth in the Supplemental Indenture for such Parity Bonds. The Trustee shall promptly notify the District, in writing, of the Bonds or Parity Bonds, or portions thereof, selected for redemption. Section 4.3. Notice of Redemption. When Bonds or Parity Bonds are due for redemption under Section 4.1 above or under another redemption provision set forth in a Supplemental Indenture relating to any Parity Bonds, the Trustee shall give notice, in the name of the District, of the redemption of such Bonds or Parity Bonds; provided, however, that a notice of optional redemption may be conditioned on there being on deposit on the redemption date sufficient money to pay the redemption price of the Bonds or Parity Bonds to be redeemed. Such notice of redemption shall (a) specify the CUSIP numbers (if any), the bond numbers and the maturity date or dates of the Bonds or Parity Bonds selected for redemption, except that where all of the Bonds or all of an issue of Parity Bonds are subject to redemption, or all the Bonds or Parity Bonds of one maturity, are to be redeemed, the bond numbers of such issue need not be specified; (b) state the date fixed for redemption and surrender of the Bonds or Parity Bonds to be redeemed; (c) state the redemption price; (d) state the place or places where the Bonds or Parity Bonds are to be redeemed; (e) in the case of Bonds or Parity Bonds to be redeemed only in part, state the portion of such Bond or Parity Bond which is to be redeemed; (f) state the date of issue of the Bonds or Parity Bonds as originally issued; (g) state the rate of interest borne by each Bond or Parity Bond being redeemed; and (h) state any other descriptive information needed to identify accurately the Bonds or Parity Bonds being redeemed as shall be specified by the Trustee. Such notice shall further state that on the date fixed for redemption, there shall become due and payable on each Bond, Parity Bond or portion thereof called for redemption, the principal thereof, together with any premium, and interest accrued to the redemption date, and that from and after such date, interest thereon shall cease to accrue and be payable. At least 20 days but no more than 45 days prior to the redemption date, the Trustee shall send a copy of such notice to the respective Owners thereof at their addresses appearing on the Bond Register, and to the original purchaser of the Bonds or Parity Bonds, as applicable. The actual receipt by the Owner of any Bond or Parity Bond or the original purchaser of any Bond or Parity Bond of notice of such redemption shall not be a condition precedent to redemption, and neither the failure to receive nor any defect in such notice shall affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of such Bonds or Parity Bonds, or the cessation of interest on the redemption date. A certificate by the Trustee that notice of such redemption has been given as herein provided shall be conclusive as against all parties and the Owner shall not be entitled to show that he or she failed to receive notice of such redemption. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the Authority or the Authority Trustee on the Authority's behalf is the registered owner of the Bonds, no such notices need be provided. In addition to the foregoing notice, further notice shall be given by the Trustee as set out below if the Bonds or Parity Bonds are not owned by the Authority at the time the notice of redemption is given pursuant to this Section 4.3, provided that no defect in said further notice nor any failure to give all or any portion of such further notice shall in any manner defeat the effectiveness of a call for redemption if notice thereof is given as above prescribed. Each further notice of redemption shall be sent at least two days before notice of redemption is mailed to the Bondowners pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section by registered or certified mail, overnight delivery service or any other means acceptable to the registered securities depository listed below and to any other registered securities depositories then in the business of holding 24 4920-6615-6325v6/20209 1 -0001 Docusign Envelope ID: 3EFE5DEg-C71E-480B-80B0-BFC4B657B312 substantial amounts of obligations of types comprising the Bonds and Parity Bonds as shall be specified by the Trustee and to any national information services that disseminate notice of redemption of obligations such as the Bonds and Parity Bonds as determined by the Trustee: Registered Securities Depositories The Depository Trust Company 55 Water Street New York, New York 10041 Attention: Redemption Area Telecopy: (212) 855-7232 or (212) 855-7233 Any notice of optional redemption shall be cancelled and annulled if for any reason funds will not be or are not available on the date fixed for redemption for the payment in full of the Bonds then called for redemption, and such cancellation shall not constitute an Event of Default under this Indenture. The District and the Trustee shall have no liability to the Owners or any other parry related to or arising from such rescission of redemption. The Trustee shall mail notice of such rescission of redemption in the same manner as the original notice of redemption was sent. Upon the payment of the redemption price of any Bonds and Parity Bonds being redeemed, each check or other transfer of funds issued for such purpose shall to the extent practicable bear the CUSIP number identifying, by issue and maturity, the Bonds and Parity Bonds being redeemed with the proceeds of such check or other transfer. Section 4.4. Partial Redemption of Bonds or Parity Bonds. Upon surrender of any Bond or Parity Bond to be redeemed in part only, the District shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Bondowner, at the expense of the District, a new Bond or Bonds or a new Parity Bond or Parity Bonds of authorized denominations equal in aggregate principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Bonds surrendered, with the same interest rate and the same maturity or, in the case of surrender of a Parity Bond, a new Parity Bond or Parity Bonds subject to the foregoing limitations. Section 4.5. Effect of Notice and Availability of Redemption Money. Notice of redemption having been duly given, as provided in Section 4.3 hereof, and the amount necessary for the redemption having been made available for that purpose and being available therefor on the date fixed for such redemption: (a) The Bonds and Parity Bonds, or portions thereof, designated for redemption shall, on the date fixed for redemption, become due and payable at the redemption price thereof as provided in this Indenture or in any Supplemental Indenture with respect to any Parity Bonds, anything in this Indenture or in the Bonds or the Parity Bonds to the contrary notwithstanding; (b) Upon presentation and surrender thereof at the office of the Trustee, the redemption price of such Bonds and Parity Bonds shall be paid to the Owners thereof, provided that so long as the Authority or the Authority Trustee on the Authority's behalf is the registered owner of the Bonds no such presentment is required; 25 4920-6615-6325v6/20209 1 -0001 Docusign Envelope ID: 3EFE5DEg-C71E-480B-80B0-BFC4B657B312 (c) As of the redemption date the Bonds or the Parity Bonds, or portions thereof so designated for redemption shall be deemed to be no longer Outstanding and such Bonds or Parity Bonds, or portions thereof, shall cease to bear further interest; and (d) As of the date fixed for redemption no Owner of any of the Bonds, Parity Bonds or portions thereof so designated for redemption shall be entitled to any of the benefits of this Indenture or any Supplemental Indenture, or to any other rights, except with respect to payment of the redemption price and interest accrued to the redemption date from the amounts so made available. ARTICLE V COVENANTS AND WARRANTY Section 5.1. Warranty. The District shall preserve and protect the security pledged hereunder to the Bonds and any Parity Bonds against all claims and demands of all persons. Section 5.2. Covenants. So long as any of the Bonds or Parity Bonds issued hereunder are Outstanding and unpaid, the District makes the following covenants with the Bondowners under the provisions of the Act and this Indenture (to be performed by the District or its proper officers, agents or employees), which covenants are necessary and desirable to secure the Bonds and Parity Bonds and tend to make them more marketable; provided, however, that said covenants do not require the District to expend any funds or moneys other than the Special Taxes and other amounts deposited to the Special Tax Fund: (a) Punctual Payment; Against Encumbrances. The District covenants that it will receive all Special Taxes in trust for the Owners and will cause to be deposited all Special Taxes with the Trustee immediately upon their apportionment to the District, and the District shall have no beneficial right or interest in the amounts so deposited except as provided by this Indenture. All such Special Taxes shall be disbursed, allocated and applied solely to the uses and purposes set forth herein, and shall be accounted for separately and apart from all other money, funds, accounts or other resources of the District. The District covenants that it will duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid the principal of and interest on every Bond and Parity Bond issued hereunder, together with the premium, if any, thereon on the date, at the place and in the manner set forth in the Bonds and the Parity Bonds and in accordance with this Indenture to the extent that Net Special Taxes and other amounts pledged hereunder are available therefor, and that the payments into the Funds and Accounts created hereunder will be made, all in strict conformity with the terms of the Bonds, any Parity Bonds, and this Indenture, and that it will faithfully observe and perform all of the conditions, covenants and requirements of this Indenture and all Supplemental Indentures and of the Bonds and any Parity Bonds issued hereunder. The District will not mortgage or otherwise encumber, pledge or place any charge upon any of the Net Special Taxes except as provided in this Indenture, and will not issue any obligation or security having a lien or charge upon the Net Special Taxes superior to or on a parity with the Bonds, other than Parity Bonds. Nothing herein shall prevent the District from issuing or incurring indebtedness which is payable from a pledge of Net Special Taxes which is subordinate in all respects to the pledge of Net Special Taxes to repay the Bonds and the Parity Bonds. 26 4920-6615-6325v6/20209 1 -0001 Docusign Envelope ID: 3EFE5DEg-C71E-480B-80B0-BFC4B657B312 (b) Levy of Special Tax. So long as any Bonds or Parity Bonds issued under this Indenture are Outstanding, the legislative body of the District covenants to levy the Special Tax in an amount sufficient, together with other amounts on deposit in the Special Tax Fund and available for such purpose, to pay (1) the principal of and interest on the Bonds and any Parity Bonds when due, (2) the Administrative Expenses, (3) any amounts required to maintain the Reserve Account of the Special Tax Fund at the Reserve Requirement, (4) any amounts required to replenish the CFD No. 2014-1 Reserve Account to the Proportionate Share and pay all Policy Costs resulting from the delinquency in the payment of scheduled debt service on the Bonds or any Parity Bonds, and (5) any amounts due to the Bond Insurer not included in (1) through (4) above. The District further covenants that it will take no actions that would discontinue or cause the discontinuance of the Special Tax levy or the District's authority to levy the Special Tax for so long as the Bonds and any Parity Bonds are Outstanding. (c) Commence Foreclosure Proceedings. The District covenants for the benefit of the Owners of the Bonds and any Parity Bonds that it (i) will commence judicial foreclosure proceedings against parcels with delinquent Special Taxes in excess of $10,000 by the October 1 following the close of each Fiscal Year in which such Special Taxes were due and (ii) will commence judicial foreclosure proceedings against all parcels with delinquent Special Taxes by the October 1 following the close of each Fiscal Year in which it receives Special Taxes in an amount which is less than 95% of the total Special Tax levied, and (iii) will diligently pursue such foreclosure proceedings until the delinquent Special Taxes are paid; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the District may elect to defer foreclosure proceedings on any parcel so long as the amount in the Reserve Account is at least equal to the Reserve Requirement, the amount in the CFD No. 2014-1 Reserve Account is at least equal to the District's Proportionate Share and no amounts are owed to the Bond Insurer in connection with the Reserve Policy or Insurance Policy. The District may, but shall not be obligated to, advance funds from any source of legally available funds in order to maintain the Reserve Account and the CFD No. 2014-1 Reserve Account. The District may treat any delinquent Special Tax sold to an independent third -party or to any funds of the City for at least 100% of the delinquent amount as having been paid. Proceeds of any such sale up to 100% of the delinquent amount will be deposited in the Special Tax Fund. The District covenants that it will deposit the net proceeds of any foreclosure and any other Delinquency Proceeds in the Special Tax Fund and will apply such proceeds remaining after the payment of Administrative Expenses to pay any delinquent installments of principal or interest due on the Bonds and any Parity Bonds, to make current payments of principal and interest on the Bonds and any Parity Bonds and to replenish any draw on the Reserve Account and the CFD No. 2014-1 Reserve Account, and to pay its proportionate share of Policy Costs resulting from the delinquency in the payment of scheduled debt service on the Bonds or any Parity Bonds. (d) Payment of Claims. The District will pay and discharge any and all lawful claims for labor, materials or supplies which, if unpaid, might become a lien or charge upon the Net Special Taxes or other funds in the Special Tax Fund, or which might impair the security of the Bonds or any Parity Bonds then Outstanding; provided that nothing herein contained shall require the District to make any such payments so long as the District in good faith shall contest the validity of any such claims. (e) Books and Accounts. The District will keep proper books of records and accounts, separate from all other records and accounts of the District, in which complete and correct entries shall be made of all transactions relating to the Project, the levy of the Special Tax and the 27 4920-6615-6325v6/20209 1 -0001 Docusign Envelope ID: 3EFE5DEg-C71E-480B-80B0-BFC4B657B312 deposits to the Special Tax Fund. Such books of records and accounts shall at all times during business hours be subject to the inspection of the Trustee or of the Owners of not less than 10% of the principal amount of the Bonds or the Owners of not less than 10% of any issue of Parity Bonds then Outstanding or their representatives authorized in writing. (f) Federal Tax Covenants. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, absent an opinion of Bond Counsel that the exclusion from gross income of interest on the Authority Bonds issued on a tax-exempt basis for federal income tax purposes will not be adversely affected for federal income tax purposes, the District covenants to comply with all applicable requirements of the Code necessary to preserve such exclusion from gross income and specifically covenants, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, as follows: (1) Private Activity. The District will take no action or refrain from taking any action or make any use of the proceeds of the Bonds or any Parity Bonds or of any other moneys or property which would cause the Authority Bonds issued on a tax-exempt basis for federal income tax purposes to be "private activity bonds" within the meaning of Section 141 of the Code; (2) Arbitrage. The District will make no use of the proceeds of the Bonds or any Parity Bonds or of any other amounts or property, regardless of the source, or take any action or refrain from taking any action which will cause the Authority Bonds issued on a tax-exempt basis for federal income tax purposes to be "arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of Section 148 of the Code; (3) Federal Guaranty. The District will make no use of the proceeds of the Bonds or any Parity Bonds or take or omit to take any action that would cause the Authority Bonds issued on a tax-exempt basis for federal income tax purposes to be "federally guaranteed" within the meaning of Section 149(b) of the Code; (4) Hedge Bonds. The District will make no use of the proceeds of the Bonds or any Parity Bonds or any other amounts or property, regardless of the source, or take any action or refrain from taking any action that would cause the Authority Bonds issued on a tax-exempt basis for federal income tax purposes to be considered "hedge bonds" within the meaning of Section 149(g) of the Code unless the District takes all necessary action to assure compliance with the requirements of Section 149(g) of the Code to maintain the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of interest on the Authority Bonds; and (5) Other Tax Exempt Issues. The District will not use proceeds of other tax exempt securities to redeem any Bonds or Parity Bonds without first obtaining the written opinion of Bond Counsel that doing so will not impair the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of interest on the Authority Bonds issued on a tax-exempt basis. (g) Reduction of Maximum Special Taxes. The District hereby finds and determines that, historically, delinquencies in the payment of special taxes authorized pursuant to the Act in community facilities districts in Southern California have from time to time been at levels requiring the levy of special taxes at the maximum authorized rates in order to make timely payment of principal of and interest on the outstanding indebtedness of such community facilities districts. For this reason, the District hereby determines that a reduction in the maximum Special Tax rates authorized to be levied on parcels in the District below the levels provided in this Section 5.2(g) would interfere with the timely retirement of the Bonds and Parity Bonds. The District determines it 28 4920-6615-6325v6/20209 1 -0001 Docusign Envelope ID: 3EFE5DEg-C71E-480B-80B0-BFC4B657B312 to be necessary in order to preserve the security for the Bonds and Parity Bonds to covenant, and, to the maximum extent that the law permits it to do so, the District hereby does covenant, that it shall not initiate proceedings to reduce the maximum Special Tax rates for the District, unless, in connection therewith, (i) the District receives a certificate from one or more Independent Financial Consultants which, when taken together, certify that, on the basis of the parcels of land and improvements existing in the District as of the July 1 preceding the reduction, the maximum amount of the Special Tax which may be levied on then existing Developed in each Bond Year for any Bonds and Parity Bonds Outstanding will equal at least 110% of the sum of the estimated Administrative Expenses and gross debt service in each Bond Year on all Bonds and Parity Bonds to remain Outstanding after the reduction is approved, (ii) the District finds that any reduction made under such conditions will not adversely affect the interests of the Owners of the Bonds and Parity Bonds, and (iii) no Policy Costs or amounts under the Insurance Policy are due and payable to the Bond Insurer and (iv) the District is not delinquent in the payment of the principal of or interest on the Bonds or any Parity Bonds. For purposes of estimating Administrative Expenses for the foregoing calculation, the Independent Financial Consultants shall compute the Administrative Expenses for the current Fiscal Year and escalate that amount by two percent (2%) in each subsequent Fiscal Year. (h) Covenants to Defend. The District covenants that, in the event that any initiative is adopted by the qualified electors in the District which purports to reduce the minimum or the maximum Special Tax below the levels specified in Section 5.2(g) above or to limit the power of the District to levy the Special Taxes for the purposes set forth in Section 5.2(b) above, it will commence and pursue legal action in order to preserve its ability to comply with such covenants. (i) Limitation on Right to Tender Bonds. The District hereby covenants that it will not adopt any policy pursuant to Section 53344.1 of the Act permitting the tender of Bonds or Parity Bonds in full payment or partial payment of any Special Taxes unless the District shall have first received a certificate from an Independent Financial Consultant that the acceptance of such a tender will not result in the District having insufficient Special Tax revenues to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds and Parity Bonds when due. 0) Further Assurances. The District shall make, execute and deliver any and all such further agreements, instruments and assurances as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out the intention or to facilitate the performance of this Indenture and for the better assuring and confirming unto the Owners of the Bonds and any Parity Bonds of the rights and benefits provided in this Indenture. (k) Subordinate Debt. Any indebtedness of the District evidenced by any subordinated debt and any renewals or extensions thereof (herein called "Subordinated Indebtedness"), shall at all times be wholly subordinate and junior in right of payment to any and all indebtedness of the District under this Indenture (herein called "Superior Indebtedness"). Following an event of default under this Indenture, no Subordinated Indebtedness shall be paid prior to any Superior Indebtedness in any fiscal year of the District. If the holder of the Subordinated Indebtedness is a commercial bank, savings bank, savings and loan association or other financial institution which is authorized by law to accept and hold deposits of money or issue certificates of deposit, such holder must agree to waive any common law or statutory right of setoff with respect to any deposits of the District maintained with or held by such holder. 29 4920-6615-6325v6/20209 1 -0001 Docusign Envelope ID: 3EFE5DEg-C71E-480B-80B0-BFC4B657B312 (1) Pledged Net Special Taxes. The District represents it has not heretofore made a pledge of, granted a lien on or security interest in, or made an assignment or sale of the Net Special Taxes that ranks on a parity with or prior to the pledge granted under this Indenture. The District, except as may be provided otherwise in this Indenture, shall not hereafter make any pledge or assignment of, lien on, or security interest in the Net Special Taxes payable senior to or on a parity with the pledge of Net Special Taxes established under this Indenture. ARTICLE VI AMENDMENTS TO INDENTURE Section 6.1. Supplemental Indentures or Orders Not Requiring Bondowner Consent. The District may from time to time, and at any time, without notice to or consent of any of the Bondowners, adopt Supplemental Indentures for any of the following purposes provided: (a) to cure any ambiguity or formal defects or omissions or to correct any inconsistent provisions in this Indenture or any Supplemental Indenture; (b) to grant or confer upon the holders of the Bonds any additional rights, remedies, powers, authority or security that may lawfully be granted to or conferred upon the holders of the Bonds; or (c) to add to the conditions, limitations and restrictions on the issuance of bonds or other obligations under the provisions of the Indenture other conditions, limitations and restrictions thereafter to be observed; or (d) to add to the covenants and agreements of the District in this Indenture other covenants and agreements thereafter to be observed by the District or to surrender any right or power therein reserved to or conferred upon the District. Section 6.2. Supplemental Indentures or Orders Requiring Bondowner Consent. Exclusive of the Supplemental Indentures described in Section 6.1, the Owners of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds and Parity Bonds Outstanding shall have the right to consent to and approve the adoption by the District of such Supplemental Indentures as shall be deemed necessary or desirable by the District, for the purpose of waiving, modifying, altering, amending, adding to or rescinding, in any particular, any of the terms or provisions contained in this Indenture; provided, however, that nothing herein shall permit, or be construed as permitting, (a) an extension of the maturity date of the principal, or the payment date of interest on, any Bond or Parity Bond, (b) a reduction in the principal amount of, or redemption premium on, any Bond or Parity Bond or the rate of interest thereon, (c) a preference or priority of any Bond or Parity Bond over any other Bond or Parity Bond, or (d) a reduction in the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds and Parity Bonds the Owners of which are required to consent to such Supplemental Indenture, without the consent of the Owners of all Bonds and Parity Bonds then Outstanding. If at any time the District shall desire to adopt a Supplemental Indenture, which pursuant to the terms of this Section shall require the consent of the Bondowners, the District shall so notify the Trustee and shall deliver to the Trustee a copy of the proposed Supplemental Indenture. The Trustee shall, at the expense of the District, cause notice of the proposed Supplemental Indenture to be mailed, by first class mail, postage prepaid, to all Bondowners at their addresses as they appear in the 30 4920-6615-6325v6/20209 1 -0001 Docusign Envelope ID: 3EFE5DEg-C71E-480B-80B0-BFC4B657B312 Bond Register (if the Authority or the Authority Trustee on the Authority's behalf is the owner of all the Bonds, such amendment may be delivered by other communication methods). Such notice shall briefly set forth the nature of the proposed Supplemental Indenture and shall state that a copy thereof is on file at the office of the Trustee for inspection by all Bondowners. The failure of any Bondowners to receive such notice shall not affect the validity of such Supplemental Indenture when consented to and approved by the Owners of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds and Parity Bonds Outstanding as required by this Section. Whenever at any time within one year after the date of the first mailing of such notice, the Trustee shall receive an instrument or instruments purporting to be executed by the Owners of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds and Parity Bonds Outstanding, which instrument or instruments shall refer to the proposed Supplemental Indenture described in such notice, and shall specifically consent to and approve the adoption thereof by the District substantially in the form of the copy referred to in such notice as on file with the Trustee, such proposed Supplemental Indenture, when duly adopted by the District, shall thereafter become a part of the proceedings for the issuance of the Bonds and any Parity Bonds. In determining whether the Owners of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds and Parity Bonds have consented to the adoption of any Supplemental Indenture, Bonds or Parity Bonds which are owned by the District or by any person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under the direct or indirect common control with the District, shall be disregarded and shall be treated as though they were not Outstanding for the purpose of any such determination. Upon the adoption of any Supplemental Indenture and the receipt of consent to any such Supplemental Indenture from the Owners of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds and Parity Bonds in instances where such consent is required pursuant to the provisions of this section, this Indenture shall be, and shall be deemed to be, modified and amended in accordance therewith, and the respective rights, duties and obligations under this Indenture of the District and all Owners of Outstanding Bonds and Parity Bonds shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder, subject in all respects to such modifications and amendments. The Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such Supplemental Indenture authorized by Sections 6.1 and 6.2 which affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the Insurance Policy is in full force and effect, any amendment, supplement, modification to, or waiver of, this Indenture pursuant to this Section 6.2 shall be subject to the prior written consent of the Bond Insurer. Section 6.3. Notation of Bonds or Parity Bonds; Delivery of Amended Bonds or Parity Bonds. After the effective date of any action taken as hereinabove provided, the District may determine that the Bonds or any Parity Bonds may bear a notation, by endorsement in form approved by the District, as to such action, and in that case upon demand of the Owner of any Outstanding Bond or Parity Bond at such effective date and presentation of his Bond or Parity Bond for the purpose at the office of the Trustee or at such additional offices as the Trustee may select and designate for that purpose, a suitable notation as to such action shall be made on such Bonds or Parity Bonds. If the District shall so determine, new Bonds or Parity Bonds so modified as, in the opinion of the District, shall be necessary to conform to such action shall be prepared and executed, and in that case upon demand of the Owner of any Outstanding Bond or Parity Bond at such effective date such new Bonds or Parity Bonds shall be exchanged at the office of the Trustee or at such additional offices as the Trustee may select and designate for that purpose, without cost to each Owner of Outstanding Bonds or Parity Bonds, upon surrender of such Outstanding Bonds or Parity Bonds. 31 4920-6615-6325v6/20209 1 -0001 Docusign Envelope ID: 3EFE5DEg-C71E-480B-80B0-BFC4B657B312 Section 6.4. Reliance on Opinion. In executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article or the modification thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an opinion of counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and complies with the terms hereof. ARTICLE VII TRUSTEE Section 7.1. Trustee. The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., shall be the Trustee for the Bonds and any Parity Bonds unless and until another Trustee is appointed by the District hereunder. The District may, at any time, appoint a successor Trustee satisfying the requirements of Section 7.2 below for the purpose of receiving all money which the District is required to deposit with the Trustee hereunder and to allocate, use and apply the same as provided in this Indenture; provided, however, that the Trustee shall be at all times the same entity as the Authority Trustee. The Bond Insurer shall receive prior written notice of any name change of the Trustee. The Trustee is hereby authorized to and shall mail by first class mail, postage prepaid, or wire transfer in accordance with Section 2.5 above, interest payments to the Bondowners, to select Bonds and Parity Bonds for redemption, and to maintain the Bond Register.

So long as the Bonds are held in book -entry form, notice of redemption will be sent by the Trustee to DTC and not to the Beneficial Owners of the Bonds under the DTC book -entry only system. Neither the Authority nor the Trustee is responsible for notifying the Beneficial Owners, who are to be notified in accordance with the procedures in effect for the DTC book -entry system. See Appendix G — "DTC AND THE BOOK -ENTRY -ONLY SYSTEM." The Trustee on behalf, and at the expense of, the Authority shall send notice of any redemption to the respective Owners of any Bonds designated for redemption at their respective addresses appearing on the Bond Register, and to the Securities Depositories and to the Information Services, at least twenty (20) but not more than sixty (60) days prior to the date fixed for redemption; provided, however, so long as the Bonds are registered in the name of the nominee of DTC, notice shall be given in such manner as complies with the requirements of DTC. Neither failure to receive any such notice so sent nor any defect therein shall affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of such Bonds or the cessation of the accrual of interest thereon. Such notice shall state the date of the notice, the redemption date, the redemption place and the redemption price and shall designate the CUSIP numbers, Bond numbers and the maturity or maturities (in the event of redemption of all of the Bonds of such maturity or maturities in whole) of the Bonds to be redeemed, and shall require that such Bonds be then surrendered at the Trust Office of the Trustee for redemption at the redemption price, giving notice also that further interest on such Bonds will not accrue after the redemption date. In addition to the foregoing notice, further notice shall be sent by the Trustee in said form to any Bondowner whose Bond has been called for redemption but who has failed to submit his Bond for payment by the date which is sixty days after the redemption date, but no defect in said further notice nor any failure to give or receive all or any portion of such further notice shall in any manner defeat the effectiveness of a call for redemption. Unless funds for the optional redemption of any Bonds are irrevocably deposited with the Trustee prior to rendering notice of redemption to the Bondowners, such notice shall state that such redemption is subject to the deposit of funds by the Authority. Any notice of optional redemption shall be cancelled and annulled if for any reason funds will not be or are not available on the date fixed for redemption for the payment in full of the Bonds then called for redemption, and such cancellation shall not constitute an Event of Default under the Indenture. The Authority and the Trustee shall have no liability to the Owners or any other party related to or arising from such rescission of redemption. The Trustee shall send notice of such rescission of redemption in the same manner as the original notice of redemption was sent. Selection of Bonds of a Maturity for Redemption. Unless otherwise provided under the Indenture, whenever provision is made in the Indenture for the redemption of less than all of the Bonds of a maturity, the Trustee shall select the Bonds to be redeemed from all Bonds of such maturity not previously called for redemption, by lot in any manner which the Trustee in its sole discretion shall deem appropriate and fair. For purposes of such selection, all Bonds shall be deemed to be comprised of separate $5,000 authorized denominations, and such separate authorized denominations shall be treated as separate Bonds which may be separately redeemed. Partial Redemption of Bonds. In the event only a portion of any Bond is called for redemption, then upon surrender of such Bond the Authority shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Owner thereof, at the expense of the Authority, a new Bond or Bonds of the same maturity date, of authorized denominations in aggregate principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Bond to be redeemed. Effect of Redemption. From and after the date fixed for redemption, if funds available for the payment of the principal of and interest (and premium, if any) on the Bonds so called for redemption have been duly provided, such Bonds so called will cease to be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture other than the right to receive payment of the redemption price, and no interest will accrue thereon from and after the redemption date specified in such notice. All Bonds redeemed pursuant to the Indenture will be cancelled and destroyed. 9 4932-3978-2181v13/202091-0001 Docusign Envelope ID: 3EFE5DE9-C71E-480B-80B0-BFC4B657B312 See "SUMMARY OF THE LOCAL OBLIGATION INDENTURES —Redemption of Bonds and Parity Bonds" in Appendix B hereto for a description of the redemption provisions of the Local Obligations. Payment, Registration, Transfer and Exchange of Bonds Book Entry Only System. The Bonds will be issued as fully registered bonds, registered in the name of Cede & Co. as nominee of DTC, and will be available to actual purchasers of the Bonds (the `Beneficial Owners") in the denominations set forth above, under the book -entry system maintained by DTC, only through brokers and dealers who are or act through DTC Participants (as defined in Appendix B) as described herein. Beneficial Owners will not be entitled to receive physical delivery of the Bonds. See "THE BONDS — Book -Entry Only System." In the event that the book -entry -only system is no longer used with respect to the Bonds, the Bonds will be registered and transferred in accordance with the Indenture. See "THE BONDS — Book -Entry Only System." Transfer of Bonds. Subject to the book -entry only provisions of the Indenture, any Bond may in accordance with its terms, be transferred, upon the Bond Register, by the person in whose name it is registered, in person or by his duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of such Bond for cancellation, accompanied by delivery of a written instrument of transfer in a form approved by the Trustee, duly executed. Whenever any Bond is surrendered for transfer, the Authority will execute and the Trustee will thereupon authenticate and deliver to the transferee a new Bond or Bonds of like tenor, maturity and aggregate principal amount. No Bonds selected for redemption will be subject to transfer pursuant to the Indenture nor will any Bond be subject to transfer during the fifteen days prior to the selection of Bonds for redemption. The cost of printing any Bonds and any services rendered or any expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with any transfer or exchange will be paid by the Authority. However, the Owners of the Bonds will be required to pay any tax or other governmental charge required to be paid for any exchange or registration of transfer and the Owners of the Bonds will be required to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of the Trustee and Authority in connection with the replacement of any mutilated, lost or stolen Bonds. The transferor will also provide or cause to be provided to the Trustee all information necessary to allow the Trustee to comply with any applicable tax reporting obligations, including without limitation any cost basis reporting obligations under Internal Revenue Code Section 6045. The Trustee may rely on the information provided to it and shall have no responsibility to verify or ensure the accuracy of such information. Exchange of Bonds. Subject to the book -entry only provisions of the Indenture, Bonds may be exchanged at the Trust Office of the Trustee for Bonds of the same tenor and maturity and of other authorized denominations. No Bonds selected for redemption will be subject to exchange pursuant to the Indenture, nor will any Bond be subject to exchange during the fifteen days prior to the selection of Bonds for redemption. The cost of printing Bonds and any services rendered or expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with any transfer or exchange will be paid by the Authority. Temporary Bonds. The Bonds may be issued initially in temporary form exchangeable for definitive Bonds when ready for delivery. The temporary Bonds may be printed, lithographed or typewritten, will be of such denominations as may be determined by the Authority and may contain such reference to any of the provisions of the Indenture as may be appropriate. Every temporary Bond will be executed by the Authority and be registered and authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner as the definitive Bonds. If the Authority issues temporary Bonds, it will execute and furnish definitive Bonds without delay, and thereupon the temporary Bonds may be surrendered for cancellation, in exchange therefor at the Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Trustee will authenticate and deliver in exchange for such temporary Bonds an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive Bonds of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Bonds will be entitled to the same benefits under the Indenture as definitive Bonds authenticated and delivered thereunder. 10 4932-3978-2181v13/202091-0001 Docusign Envelope ID: 3EFE5DE9-C71E-480B-80B0-BFC4B657B312 Bond Register. The Trustee will keep or cause to be kept at its Trust Office sufficient records for the registration and transfer of the Bonds, which will be the Bond Register and will at all times during regular business hours be open to inspection by the Authority upon reasonable prior written notice; and, upon presentation for such purpose, the Trustee will, under such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, register or transfer or cause to be registered or transferred, on said records, Bonds as provided in the Indenture. Bonds Mutilated, Lost, Destroyed or Stolen. If any Bond becomes mutilated, the Authority, at the expense of the Owner of said Bond, will execute, and the Trustee will thereupon authenticate and deliver, a new Bond of like tenor and authorized denomination in exchange and substitution for the Bond so mutilated, but only upon surrender to the Trustee of the Bond so mutilated. Every mutilated Bond so surrendered to the Trustee will be cancelled by it and destroyed in accordance with the retention policy of the Trustee then in effect. If any Bond issued under the Indenture is lost, destroyed or stolen, evidence of such loss, destruction or theft may be submitted to the Trustee and, if such evidence be satisfactory to it and indemnity satisfactory to it is given, at the expense of the Bond Owner, the Authority will execute, and the Trustee will thereupon authenticate and deliver, a new Bond of like tenor in lieu of and in substitution for the Bond so lost, destroyed or stolen (or if any such Bond has matured or has been called for redemption, instead of issuing a substitute Bond the Trustee may pay the same without surrender thereof upon receipt of indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee). The Trustee may require payment of a reasonable fee for each new Bond issued under the Indenture and of the expenses which may be incurred by the Authority and the Trustee. Any Bond issued under the Indenture in lieu of any Bond alleged to be lost, destroyed or stolen will constitute an original contractual obligation on the part of the Authority whether or not the Bond alleged to be lost, destroyed or stolen be at any time enforceable by anyone, and will be equally and proportionately entitled to the benefits of the Indenture with all other Bonds secured by the Indenture. Book -Entry Only System While the Bonds are subject to the book -entry system, the principal, interest and any redemption premium with respect to a Bond will be paid by the Trustee to DTC, which in turn is obligated to remit such payment to its DTC Participants for subsequent disbursement to Beneficial Owners of the Bonds, as described in Appendix G — "DTC AND THE BOOK -ENTRY -ONLY SYSTEM" herein. So long as Cede & Co. is the registered owner of the Bonds, references herein to the Owners of the Bonds shall mean Cede & Co. and not the Beneficial Owners of the Bonds. The Authority gives no assurance that DTC or the DTC Participants will distribute payments or notices to Beneficial Owners.

According to the Special Tax Consultant, based on the annual debt service for the Local Obligations, with respect to each Community Facilities District, the Special Taxes levied at the maximum Special Tax rates under the related Rate and Method (as defined below), less estimated Administrative Expenses and assuming no delinquencies, will generate in each Fiscal Year not less than 110% of debt service payable with respect to each related series of Local Obligations. See Appendix A — "INFORMATION REGARDING THE COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICTS." However, under the Mello -Roos Act, under no circumstances may Special Taxes levied against any parcel of property used for private residential purposes in a Community Facilities District be increased by more than ten percent (10%) as a consequence of delinquency or default by the owner of any other parcel within in such Community Facilities District. See "SECURITY FOR THE LOCAL OBLIGATIONS." SECURITY FOR THE BONDS General As described below, the Bonds are payable primarily from Revenues consisting primarily of amounts received by the Authority as the result of its ownership of the Local Obligations. The Bonds are special obligations of the Authority payable solely from and secured solely by the Revenues and amounts in certain funds and accounts pledged therefor in the Indenture. The Bonds are not a debt or liability of the City, the State of California or any political subdivisions thereof other than the Authority to the limited extent described herein. The faith and credit of the Authority is not pledged to secure the payment of Bonds, nor is any of its political subdivisions liable therefor, nor in any event shall the Bonds or any interest or redemption premium thereunder be payable out of any funds or properties other than those of the Authority as set forth in the Indenture. The Authority has no taxing power. Revenues and Flow of Funds Bonds; Revenues. Subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Bonds are secured by a first lien on and pledge (which shall be effected in the manner and to the extent provided in the Indenture) of all of the Revenues. The Bonds are equally secured by a pledge, charge and lien upon the Revenues without priority for any Bond over any other Bond; and the payment of the interest on and principal of the Bonds and any premiums upon the redemption of any Bonds is secured by an exclusive pledge, charge and lien upon the Revenues. So long as any of the Bonds are Outstanding, the Revenues shall not be used for any purpose except as is expressly permitted by the Indenture. Collection by the Trustee. The Authority has transferred in trust, granted a security interest in and assigned to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Owners from time to time of the Bonds, respectively, all of the Revenues and all of the right, title and interest of the Authority in the Local Obligations, subject to the terms of the Indenture. The Trustee is entitled to and will collect and receive all of the Revenues, and any Revenues collected or received by the Authority will be deemed to be held, and to have been collected or received, by the Authority as the agent of the Trustee and will forthwith be paid by the Authority to the Trustee. The Trustee also is entitled to and, subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Trustee will take all steps, actions and proceedings reasonably necessary in its judgment to enforce, either jointly with the Authority or separately, all of the rights of the Authority and all of the obligations of the City and the Community Facilities Districts under the Local Obligations. 14 4932-3978-2181v13/202091-0001 Docusign Envelope ID: 3EFE5DE9-C71E-480B-80B0-BFC4B657B312 Deposit of Revenues. All Revenues derived from the Local Obligations, other than Local Obligation Delinquency Revenues, will be promptly deposited by the Trustee upon receipt thereof in the Revenue Fund. Any Revenues which represent the payment of delinquent principal of or interest on an issue of Local Obligations will be first applied to make payments required pursuant to the Indenture upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and next to be deposited to the Reserve Fund and the Reserve Accounts therein to replenish the amount on deposit therein to the Reserve Requirement, or to reimburse the Insurer for Policy Costs. Application of Revenues. On each Interest Payment Date, the Trustee will transfer from the Revenue Fund, and deposit into the following respective accounts for the Bonds, 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: Interest Account. On each Interest Payment Date, the Trustee shall deposit in the Interest Account an amount required to cause the aggregate amount on deposit in the Interest Account to equal the amount of interest becoming due and payable on such Interest Payment Date on all Outstanding Bonds on such date. All moneys in the Interest Account shall be used and withdrawn by the Trustee solely for the purpose of paying interest on the Bonds as it shall become due and payable (including accrued interest on any Bonds redeemed prior to maturity). In the event that the amounts on deposit in the Interest Account on any Interest Payment Date, after any transfers from the Reserve Fund and the Reserve Accounts therein pursuant to the Indenture, are insufficient for any reason to pay the aggregate amount of interest then coming due and payable on the Outstanding Bonds, the Trustee shall apply such amounts to the payment of interest on each of the Outstanding Bonds on a pro rata basis. Principal Account. On each September 1 on which principal of the Bonds shall be payable, the Trustee shall 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, and premium (if any) on, the Bonds coming due and payable on such date, or required to be redeemed on such date pursuant to the Indenture; provided, however, that no amount shall be deposited to effect an optional redemption of Bonds pursuant to the Indenture unless the Trustee has first received a certificate of an Independent Accountant or an Independent Financial Consultant certifying that such deposit to effect an optional redemption of the Bonds will not impair the ability of the Authority to make timely payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds, assuming for such purposes that the Community Facilities Districts continue to make timely payments on all Local Obligations not then in default. All moneys in the Principal Account shall be used and withdrawn by the Trustee solely for the purpose of (i) paying the principal of the Bonds at the maturity thereof or (ii) paying the principal of and premium (if any) on any Bonds upon the redemption thereof pursuant to the Indenture. Reserve Fund. On each Interest Payment Date on which the balance in the Reserve Fund is less than the Reserve Requirement, or amounts are due to an insurer under a Reserve Credit Facility (as such term is defined in the Authority Indenture), after making deposits to the Interest Account and the Principal Account as described above, the Trustee shall transfer from the Revenue Fund, an amount sufficient to increase the balance in the Reserve Fund to the Reserve Requirement, by depositing the amount necessary to make the various accounts therein equal to, together, the Reserve Requirement, provided the value of the moneys deposited therein, as invested, shall be valued at market value on such transfer date for purposes of making such determination; and provided, further, that the replenishment of the Reserve Accounts shall be made in accordance with the Indenture as described under "—Reserve Fund" below. Deficiencies. If on any Interest Payment Date or date for redemption the amount on deposit in the Revenue Fund is inadequate to make the transfers above as a result of a payment default on an issue of Local Obligations, the Trustee will immediately notify the issuer of such Local Obligations of the amount needed to make the required deposits under "— Application of Revenues." In the event that following such notice the Trustee receives Local Obligations Delinquency Revenues from the issuer of such Local Obligation to cure 15 4932-3978-2181v13/202091-0001 Docusign Envelope ID: 3EFE5DE9-C71E-480B-80B0-BFC4B657B312 such shortfall, the Trustee shall deposit such amounts to the Revenue Fund for application in accordance with the Indenture. The Trustee shall disburse or transfer all Revenues representing Local Obligations Delinquency Revenues of a Community Facilities District first to cure any event of default on the Bonds caused by the nonpayment of the Local Obligations of such Community Facilities District and then to replenish the amount in the Reserve Fund to the Reserve Requirement, subject to the limitations described under the caption "— Reserve Fund" below. Rebate Fund. On each Interest Payment Date after making the transfers required under the Indenture as described above, upon receipt of a Request of the Authority to do so, the Trustee shall transfer from the Revenue Fund to the Rebate Fund for deposit in the accounts therein the amounts specified in such Request of the Authority. Surplus Fund. On September 1 of each year, after making the deposits described above, and upon reimbursement to the Insurer for any amounts owed under the Policy, the Trustee will transfer all amounts remaining on deposit in the Revenue Fund to the Administrative Expense Fund unless the Trustee has received a request of the Authority directing it to transfer all or a portion of the said amounts to the Surplus Fund, in which case the Trustee shall make the transfer to the Surplus Fund. See "—Surplus Fund" below. Reserve Fund An account for each issue of Local Obligations will be established in the Reserve Fund (each, a "Reserve Account"). The Reserve Policy in the amount of $ and cash in the amount of $ will be deposited into the Reserve Fund and allocated to the Reserve Accounts as provided below, which in the aggregate, equals the Reserve Requirement as of the date of issuance of the Bonds. Each Local Obligation's initial Proportionate Share (as defined below) will initially be as follows: in the CFD No. 06-1 Reserve Account in the CFD No. 2014-1 Reserve Account The Indenture defines "Proportionate Share" to mean (i) as of any date of calculation, for the CFD No. 2014-1 Bonds, the ratio derived by dividing the maximum annual debt service of such Local Obligation by the Reserve Requirement, and (ii) as of the same date of calculation, for the CFD No. 06-1 Bonds, one (1) minus the ratio derived in clause (i). The aggregate of the Proportionate Share of each Local Obligation is equal to the Reserve Requirement as of the date of issuance of the Bonds, which is an amount equal to the lowest of (i) 10% of the initial principal amount of the Bonds, (ii) Maximum Annual Debt Service on the Outstanding Bonds, or (iii) 125% of average Annual Debt Service on the Outstanding Bonds. Pursuant to the Indenture, the Reserve Requirement shall never be greater than the initial Reserve Requirement. In the event that the amount of the Reserve Requirement is changed, the Trustee will, upon receipt of a Request of the Authority, adjust the shares of each Reserve Account to reflect the new Reserve Requirement. The Reserve Requirement may be satisfied in whole or in part by the Reserve Surety Bond and one or more additional Reserve Credit Facilities. [[INSURER] has made a commitment to issue, simultaneously with the issuance of the Bonds, the Reserve Policy in the amount equal to 50% of the Reserve Requirement as of the date of issuance of the Bonds for deposit in the Reserve Fund, effective as of the date of issuance of the Bonds. Under the terms of the Reserve Policy, [INSURER] will unconditionally and irrevocably guarantee to pay that portion of the scheduled payments of principal of and interest on the Bonds that becomes due for payment but shall be unpaid by reason of nonpayment by the Authority, to the extent set forth in the Reserve Policy and in the Indenture. The Authority will have no obligation to replace the Reserve Policy or to fund the Reserve Fund or the Reserve Accounts therein with cash if, at any time that the Bonds are Outstanding, any rating assigned to the Insurer is downgraded, suspended or withdrawn or amounts are not available under the Reserve Policy, other than in connection with a draw on the Reserve Policy.] 16 4932-3978-2181v13/202091-0001 Docusign Envelope ID: 3EFE5DE9-C71E-480B-80B0-BFC4B657B312 See Appendix B — "SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL LEGAL DOCUMENTS — AUTHORITY INDENTURE — REVENUES; FLOW OF FUNDS — Reserve Fund" for provisions relating to the Reserve Policy. The remaining 50% of the Reserve Requirement, effective as of the date of issuance of the Bonds, will be funded with cash from proceeds of the Local Obligations. Subject to the limitations set forth in the following paragraph, moneys in the Reserve Fund may be applied to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds when the moneys in the Interest Account and the Principal Account of the Revenue Fund are insufficient therefor. In addition, moneys in the Reserve Fund not constituting funds drawn on the Reserve Fund Surety Bond or any other Reserve Credit Facility may be applied (i) in connection with an optional redemption of Bonds or a defeasance thereof, (ii) when the balance therein equals the principal and interest due on the Bonds to and including maturity, (iii) when the amount in a Reserve Account is transferred to the Interest Account and the Principal Account as a credit against the payments due on the Local Obligations secured by such account on the transfer dates specified in the Indenture, or (iv) when a recalculation of the Reserve Requirement results in a reduction thereof and amounts on deposit in the Reserve Fund in excess of the Reserve Requirement (exclusive of interest earnings, which are governed by the Indenture) are transferred to the Interest Account and the Principal Account as a credit against the payments due on the Local Obligations as specified in the Indenture. If the amounts in the Interest Account or the Principal Account of the Revenue Fund are insufficient to pay the principal of or interest on the Bonds when due or mandatory sinking fund payments on the Bonds when due, the Trustee shall withdraw from the applicable Reserve Account or Reserve Accounts an amount equal to the deficiency resulting from the delinquency in the payment of scheduled debt service on the applicable Series of Local Obligations and transfer such amount to the Interest Account, the Principal Account or both, as applicable. If there are insufficient funds on deposit in a Reserve Account to cover a deficiency resulting from the delinquency in the payment of scheduled debt service on the applicable Series of Local Obligations, the Trustee shall withdraw from the other Reserve Account the amount of such remaining deficiency and transfer such amount to the Interest Account, the Principal Account or both, as applicable. Upon the transfer by the Trustee to the Reserve Fund of delinquent Revenues, such Revenues shall be allocated to the Reserve Accounts as follows: First, to the Insurer to reimburse it for all Policy Costs due as a result of a draw on the Reserve Policy and reimbursement of amounts with respect to any other Reserve Credit Facility due as a result of delinquencies on the Local Obligations of the Community Facilities Districts. Such reimbursements shall be credited first to the Reserve Account for the Series of Local Obligations to which such delinquent Revenues do not relate on, if such reimbursements are owing as a result from draws due to delinquencies in the payment of scheduled debt service on the other series of Local Obligations. Such reimbursements will next be credited to the Reserve Account for the series of Local Obligations from which the delinquent Revenues were received. Second, to the Reserve Account for the Series of Local Obligations to which such Local Obligations Delinquency Revenues do not relate, that amount necessary to increase the amount on deposit in such account to the Reserve Requirement, if the deficiency in the amount on deposit in such account resulted from draws on such Reserve Account due to delinquencies in the payment of scheduled debt service on the other Series of Local Obligations. Third, after increasing the amount on deposit in the applicable Reserve Account to the Reserve Requirement pursuant to the second step, to the Reserve Account for the series of Local Obligations from which the Local Obligations Delinquency Revenues were received that amount necessary to replenish the amount on deposit in such Reserve Account to the applicable Reserve Requirement. Fourth, to the Revenue Fund. 17 4932-3978-2181v13/202091-0001 Docusign Envelope ID: 3EFE5DE9-C71E-480B-80B0-BFC4B657B312 In the Bond Year in which any Local Obligation matures, cash on deposit in the Reserve Account related to such Local Obligations, will be transferred to the Interest Account and the Principal Account as a credit against the payments due on such Local Obligations, with the amount transferred from a Reserve Account being deposited first to the Interest Account as a credit on the interest due on such Local Obligations on such date and the balance being deposited to the Principal Account as a credit on the principal due on such Local Obligations on such date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee shall retain an amount sufficient to ensure that the Reserve Requirement is met in the subsequent Bond Year. Amounts on deposit in a Reserve Account for which the related Local Obligations are no longer outstanding may be transferred to any other Reserve Account as set forth in a Certificate of the Authority. On September 1 of each year, in connection with the annual recalculation of the Reserve Requirement, amounts on deposit in the Reserve Accounts (exclusive of interest earnings, which are governed by the Indenture) in excess of each Reserve Account's Proportionate Share of the Reserve Requirement will be transferred first to the Interest Account and then to the Principal Account as a credit against the payments due on the CFD No. 06-1 Bonds on such date, until the CFD No. 06-1 Bonds have been paid in full, and then as a credit against the payment due on the CFD No. 2014-Bonds. Surplus Fund Any amounts transferred to the Surplus Fund pursuant to the Indenture shall no longer be considered Revenues and are not pledged to repay the Bonds. So long as Local Obligations are outstanding, on September 1 of each year after setting aside any amount specified in a Request of the Authority as necessary to pay Administrative Expenses, the remaining balance, if any, in the Surplus Fund shall (i) be transferred by the Trustee to the City for credit to the special tax fund for the Local Obligations, and each Community Facilities District shall be credited a percentage of the total amount available on each September 1 that is equal to the percentage which each series of its outstanding Local Obligation represents of all outstanding Local Obligations held by the Trustee as of the date of disbursement or (ii) as set forth in a Request of the City be applied to the redemption of Local Obligations pursuant to the terms of the Local Obligation Indenture with each series of Local Obligations to be credited a percentage of the total amount available on each September 1 that is equal to the percentage which a series of outstanding Local Obligations represents of all outstanding Local Obligations held by the Trustee as of the date of disbursement. In the event that the Local Obligations have been redeemed or defeased in whole or in part, then such credit shall be applied to the Local Obligation that remains outstanding. In the event all Community Facilities Districts are no longer obligated to levy Special Taxes to repay Local Obligations, then any amounts in the Surplus Fund may be used by the Authority for any lawful purpose, including, but not limited to, the payment of expenses of the Authority, the City or the Community Facilities Districts relating to the Bonds, the Local Obligations, the Community Facilities Districts, or any other purpose as specified in a Request of the Authority delivered to the Trustee. No Additional Bonds Except to Refund Bonds The Authority may issue Additional Bonds in such principal amount as will be determined by the Authority, pursuant to a Supplemental Indenture adopted or entered into by the Authority. Additional Bonds may only be issued subject to the following conditions precedent established by the Indenture: (a) The Authority is in compliance with all covenants set forth in the Indenture and all Supplemental Indentures. (b) The proceeds of such Additional Bonds will be applied to accomplish a refunding of all or a portion of the Bonds or any Additional Bonds Outstanding. 18 4932-3978-2181v13/202091-0001 Docusign Envelope ID: 3EFE5DE9-C71E-480B-80B0-BFC4B657B312 (c) The Supplemental Indenture providing for the issuance of such Additional Bonds will provide that interest thereon will be payable on September 1 and March 1, and principal thereof will be payable on September 1 in any year in which principal is payable. (d) Prior to the delivery of any Additional Bonds, a written certificate must be provided to the Authority and the Trustee by an Independent Financial Consultant which certifies that following the issuance of the Series of Additional Bonds and the Local Obligations, the principal and interest generated from the Local Obligations is adequate to make the timely payment of principal and interest due on the Bonds and the Series of Additional Bonds to be issued under the Indenture. (e) The Supplemental Indenture providing for the issuance of Additional Bonds may provide for the establishment of separate funds and accounts. (f) No Event of Default has occurred and be continuing with respect to the Bonds or any of the Local Obligations. (g) The Authority will deliver to the Trustee a written Certificate of the Authority certifying that the conditions precedent to the issuance of such Additional Bonds set forth in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (f) above have been satisfied and that, upon the issuance of such Additional Bonds an amount equal to the Reserve Requirement, as adjusted (if necessary) to reflect the issuance of such Additional Bonds will be on deposit in the Reserve Fund and the Reserve Accounts therein. [BOND INSURANCE] [TO COME] SECURITY FOR THE LOCAL OBLIGATIONS General Each series of Local Obligations is a limited obligation of the respective Community Facilities District payable solely from Net Special Taxes (defined below) collected in the applicable Community Facilities District and amounts deposited by the Community Facilities Districts in the applicable Special Tax Fund. The Community Facilities Districts' limited obligation to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the applicable Local Obligations from Net Special Taxes collected in the applicable Community Facilities District and amounts in the applicable Special Tax Fund is absolute and unconditional. No Local Obligation (and no obligations issued on a parity therewith under the Local Obligation Indentures relating to the Local Obligations, each a "Local Obligation Parity Bond") is a legal or equitable pledge, charge, lien or encumbrance upon any of the Community Facilities Districts' respective property, or upon any of their income, receipts or revenues, except the Net Special Taxes collected in the applicable Community Facilities District and other amounts in the applicable Special Tax Fund which are, under the terms of each Local Obligation Indenture and the Mello -Roos Act, set aside for the payment of the applicable Local Obligations and interest thereon and neither the respective members of the legislative body of each Community Facilities District or the City Council nor any persons executing the Bonds are liable personally on the Bonds by reason of their issuance. The "Special Taxes" for each Community Facilities District are levied and collected according to the rate and method of apportionment (each, a "Rate and Method") established for such Community Facilities District. See Appendix A — "INFORMATION REGARDING THE COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICTS," Appendix D-1 — "RATE AND METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF SPECIAL TAXES FOR COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT NO. 06-1," and Appendix D-2 — "RATE AND METHOD OF 19 4932-3978-2181v13/202091-0001 Docusign Envelope ID: 3EFE5DE9-C71E-480B-80B0-BFC4B657B312 APPORTIONMENT OF SPECIAL TAXES FOR COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICTS CFD NO. 2014- 1." The Local Obligations are not cross -collateralized. In other words, Special Taxes collected in one Community Facilities District cannot be used to cover any shortfall in the payment of debt service on the Local Obligations of another Community Facilities District. However, the Reserve Fund and the Reserve Accounts therein held by the Trustee and collectively funded at the Reserve Requirement will be available in the event of delinquent Revenues. See "SECURITY FOR THE BONDS — Reserve Fund" herein. Except for the foregoing, no other taxes are pledged to the payment of the Local Obligations and Local Obligation Parity Bonds. The Local Obligations and any Local Obligation Parity Bonds are not general or special obligations of the City nor general obligations of the Community Facilities Districts, but are limited obligations of the Community Facilities Districts payable solely from amounts deposited by the Community Facilities Districts in certain funds established under the applicable Local Obligation Indentures, as more fully described herein. The Community Facilities Districts' limited obligation to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Local Obligations and any Local Obligation Parity Bonds from amounts in certain funds established under the applicable Local Obligation Indenture is absolute and unconditional, free of deductions and without any abatement, offset, recoupment, diminution or set-off whatsoever. The Authority, as Owner of the Local Obligations, or any Owner of any Local Obligation Parity Bonds may not compel the exercise of the taxing power by the Community Facilities Districts (except as pertains to the Special Taxes) or the City or the forfeiture of any of their property. The principal of and interest on the Local Obligations and any Local Obligation Parity Bonds and premiums upon the redemption thereof, if any, are not a debt of the City, the State of California or any of its political subdivisions within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory limitation or restriction. The Special Taxes are collected in the manner and at the same time as ad valorem property taxes are collected and is subject to the same penalties and the same procedure, sale, and lien priority in case of delinquency as is provided for ad valorem property taxes; provided, however, that the Community Facilities Districts may directly bill the Special Tax within the applicable Community Facilities District, and may collect Special Taxes at a different time or in a different manner as determined by the City Council. Under the Mello -Roos Act under no circumstances will the Special Taxes levied against any parcel in a Community Facilities District for which an occupancy permit for private residential use has been issued be increased by more than ten percent (10%) per fiscal year as a consequence of delinquency or default by the owner of any other parcel within such Community Facilities District. Therefore, even though the maximum Special Tax rates may allow for Special Tax increases greater than 10%, in the event of high delinquencies in a Community Facilities District, a Community Facilities District may not increase the Special Taxes in such Community Facilities District in the fiscal year following such delinquencies by more than 10% on the residential units. See "SPECIAL RISK FACTORS — Special Tax Delinquencies." Local Obligation Indentures The Local Obligations will be issued under separate Local Obligation Indentures to be executed and delivered in connection with such issuance. The following describes certain provisions of each Local Obligation Indenture, which are substantially similar. Under the Local Obligation Indentures, the "Net Special Taxes" pledged by the Community Facilities District to the Local Obligations (and any related Local Obligation Parity Bonds) is defined as "Gross Special Taxes" minus amounts set aside to pay Administrative Expenses. 20 4932-3978-2181v13/202091-0001 Docusign Envelope ID: 3EFE5DE9-C71E-480B-80B0-BFC4B657B312 "Gross Special Taxes" is defined in each Local Obligation Indenture as the amount of all Special Taxes received by the Community Facilities District, together with the proceeds collected from the sale of property pursuant to the foreclosure provisions of the Local Obligation Indenture for the delinquency of such Special Taxes remaining after the payment of all costs related to such foreclosure actions. "Administrative Expenses" are the administrative costs with respect to the calculation and collection of the Special Taxes, including all attorneys' fees and other costs related thereto, the fees and expenses of the Trustee, any fees and related costs for credit enhancement for the Local Obligations or which are not otherwise paid as Costs of Issuance, any costs related to the Community Facilities District's compliance with state and federal laws requiring continuing disclosure of information concerning the Local Obligations, the Community Facilities District, and any other costs otherwise incurred by the City on behalf of the Community Facilities District, in order to carry out the purposes of the Community Facilities District, as set forth in the Resolution of Formation and any obligation of the Community Facilities District under the Local Obligation Indenture. Administrative Expenses also include the administrative costs with respect to the collection of Delinquency Proceeds. The portion of any Prepayment received by the Community Facilities District that is to be applied to the redemption of Local Obligations will be identified as such by the Community Facilities District and transferred to the Trustee for deposit in the Redemption Account. Except for the foregoing portion of any Prepayment to be deposited to the Redemption Account, the Community Facilities District will, as soon as practicable transfer the Special Taxes received by the Community Facilities District to the Trustee for deposit in the applicable Special Tax Fund to be held by the Trustee in trust for the Owners of the Local Obligations. The Trustee will transfer the Special Taxes on deposit in the Special Tax Fund on the dates and in the amounts set forth in the Local Obligation Indenture, in the following order of priority, to: (1) The Administrative Expense Fund; (2) The Interest Account of the Special Tax Fund; (3) The Principal Account of the Special Tax Fund; (4) The Trustee for deposit in the Reserve Account under the Authority Indenture the amount necessary to cause the balance on deposit therein to equal the Community Facilities District Proportionate Share of the Reserve Requirement; (5) The Redemption Account of the Special Tax Fund; and (6) The Surplus Fund. Each Local Obligation Indenture creates and establishes a Surplus Fund to be maintained by the Trustee. As soon as practicable after each September 1, and in any event prior to each October 1, the Trustee will transfer all remaining amounts in the Special Tax Fund to the Surplus Fund, unless on or prior to such date, it has received a Certificate of an Authorized Representative directing that certain amounts be retained in the Special Tax Fund because the Community Facilities District has included such amounts as being available in the Special Tax Fund in calculating the amount of the levy of Special Taxes for such Fiscal Year. The amounts in the Surplus Fund are not pledged to the repayment of the Local Obligations or any related Local Obligation Parity Bonds and may be used by the Community Facilities District for any lawful purpose. Local Obligation Parity Bonds The Local Obligation Indentures authorize the Community Facilities Districts to issue Local Obligation Parity Bonds which are additional bonds payable from Special Taxes on a parity with the related Local Obligations but only for the purpose of refunding all or a portion of the applicable Local Obligations or 21 4932-3978-2181v13/202091-0001 Docusign Envelope ID: 3EFE5DE9-C71E-480B-80B0-BFC4B657B312 Local Obligation Parity Bonds. Local Obligations will only be refunded if a corresponding amount of Bonds is refunded and only if an Independent Accountant or an Independent Financial Consultant verifies that, following such optional redemption of the Local Obligations and redemption of Bonds, the principal and interest generated from the remaining Local Obligations is adequate to make the timely payment of principal and interest due on the Bonds remaining Outstanding following such optional redemption. For a description of the conditions established in each Local Obligation Indenture for the issuance of Local Obligation Parity Bonds, see Appendix B — "SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL LEGAL DOCUMENTS." Priority of Lien Each installment of the Special Taxes and any interest and penalties thereon, constitutes a lien on the parcel of land on which it was imposed until the same is paid. Such lien is co -equal to and independent of the lien for general taxes and any other community facilities district special taxes. See "THE COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICTS — The Community Facilities Districts in the Aggregate" herein. Covenants of the Community Facilities Districts In their respective Local Obligation Indenture, each Community Facilities District has made certain covenants, certain of which are described below. Punctual Payment. The Community Facilities District will duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid the principal of and interest on every Local Obligation and Local Obligation Parity Bond issued under its Local Obligation Indenture, together with the premium, if any, thereon on the date, at the place and in the manner set forth in the Local Obligations and Local Obligation Parity Bonds and in accordance with its Local Obligation Indenture to the extent that Net Special Taxes and other amounts pledged thereunder are available therefor, and that the payments into the Funds and Accounts created under its Local Obligation Indenture will be made, all in strict conformity with the terms of the Local Obligations, any Local Obligation Parity Bonds, and the Local Obligation Indenture, and that it will faithfully observe and perform all of the conditions, covenants and requirements of its Local Obligation Indenture and all Supplemental Indentures and of the Local Obligations and any Local Obligation Parity Bonds issued under its Local Obligation Indenture. Against Encumbrance. The Community Facilities District will not mortgage or otherwise encumber, pledge or place any charge upon any of the Net Special Taxes except as provided in the Local Obligation Indenture, and will not issue any obligation or security having a lien or charge upon the Net Special Taxes superior to or on a parity with the Local Obligations, other than Local Obligation Parity Bonds. Nothing in the Local Obligation Indenture shall prevent the Community Facilities District from issuing or incurring indebtedness which is payable from a pledge of Net Special Taxes which is subordinate in all respects to the pledge of Net Special Taxes to repay the Local Obligations and the Local Obligation Parity Bonds. Levy of Special Tax. So long as any Local Obligations or Local Obligation Parity Bonds issued are Outstanding, the Community Facilities District covenants to levy the Special Tax in an amount sufficient, together with other amounts on deposit in the Special Tax Fund and available for such purpose, to pay (1) the principal of and interest on the Local Obligations and Local Obligation Parity Bonds when due, (2) the Administrative Expenses, (3) any amounts required to maintain the Reserve Account of the Special Tax Fund established under its Local Obligation Indenture at the Reserve Requirement, (4) any amounts required to replenish the Reserve Account under the Authority Indenture to the Proportionate Share and pay all Policy Costs resulting from the delinquency in the payment of scheduled debt service on the Local Obligations and any Local Obligation Parity Bonds, (5) and any amounts due to the Bond Insurer not included in (1) through (4) above. The Community Facilities District further covenants that it will take no actions that would discontinue or cause the discontinuance of the Special Tax levy or the Community Facilities District's authority to levy the Special Tax for so long as the Local Obligations and any Local Obligation Parity Bonds are Outstanding. 22 4932-3978-2181v13/202091-0001 Docusign Envelope ID: 3EFE5DE9-C71E-480B-80B0-BFC4B657B312 Commence Foreclosure Proceedings. The Community Facilities District covenants for the benefit of the Owners of the Local Obligations and any Local Obligation Parity Bonds that it (i) will commence judicial foreclosure proceedings against parcels with delinquent Special Taxes in excess of $10,000 by the October 1 following the close of each Fiscal Year in which such Special Taxes were due and (ii) will commence judicial foreclosure proceedings against all parcels with delinquent Special Taxes by the October 1 following the close of each Fiscal Year in which it receives Special Taxes in an amount which is less than 95% of the total Special Tax levied, and (iii) will diligently pursue such foreclosure proceedings until the delinquent Special Taxes are paid; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Community Facilities District may elect to defer foreclosure proceedings on any parcel so long as the amount in the Reserve Account under the Local Obligation Indenture is at least equal to the Reserve Requirement and the amount in the Reserve Account under the Indenture is at least equal to the Community Facilities District's Proportionate Share. The Community Facilities District may, but shall not be obligated to, advance funds from any source of legally available funds in order to maintain such Reserve Accounts. The Community Facilities District may treat any delinquent Special Tax sold to an independent third -party or to any funds of the City for at least 100% of the delinquent amount as having been paid. Proceeds of any such sale up to 100% of the delinquent amount will be deposited in the Special Tax Fund. Special Taxes Are Not Within Teeter Plan The Special Taxes are not encompassed within the alternate procedure for the distribution of certain property tax levies on the secured roll pursuant to Chapter 3, Part 8, Division 1 of the California Revenue and Taxation Code (Section 4701 et seq.), commonly referred to as the "Teeter Plan." The County has adopted a Teeter Plan under which a tax distribution procedure is implemented and secured roll taxes are distributed to taxing agencies within the County on the basis of the tax levy, rather than on the basis of actual tax collections. However, by policy, the County does not include special taxes, assessments or assessments in its Teeter Plan. The Special Taxes of the Community Facilities Districts are not included in the County's Teeter Plan. See Table 7 below for the aggregate Special Tax delinquencies in the combined Community Facilities Districts for the last five Fiscal Years and see Tables A-5 and A-12 in Appendix A for information regarding Special Tax delinquencies in each of the Community Facilities Districts for the last five Fiscal Years. THE COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICTS The Community Facilities Districts in the Aggregate Introduction. Set forth under this caption is certain information describing the Community Facilities Districts in the aggregate. See Appendix A hereto for more information with respect to each Community Facilities District. Although the Authority believes the information with respect to the Community Facilities Districts, in the aggregate, is relevant to an informed decision to purchase the Bonds, investors should be aware that the debt service on one series of Local Obligations may not be used to make up any shortfall in the debt service on another series of Local Obligations. Moreover, the parcels in each Community Facilities District are taxed according to the applicable Rate and Method, and the applicable Special Taxes may only be applied to pay the debt service on the Local Obligations related to the Community Facilities District in which such Special Taxes are levied and not on the debt service of any other Local Obligations. Potential investors should further be aware that Special Taxes are levied against individual parcels within each Community Facilities District and that any such parcel may have a value -to -lien ratio less than the overall value -to -lien ratio for such Community Facilities District and less than the value -to -lien ratio of the Community Facilities Districts in the aggregate. Property Values & Development Status. The most recent aggregate assessed value reported by the County Assessor for the property in the Community Facilities Districts for the Fiscal Year 2024-25 was $1,610,248,588.

The annual debt service on the CFD No. 06-1 Bonds decreases by approximately $4,000,000* to $279,500* in Bond Year 2037-38 and the final maturity of the CFD No. 06-1 Bonds is September 1, 2039. Therefore, starting in Bond Year 2037-38, CFD No. 2014-1 Special Taxes will pay the majority of the debt service on the Bonds and after September 1, 2039, the CFD No. 2014-1 Bonds is expected to be the only source of Revenues to pay the Bonds.

Top Taxpayers within the Community Facilities Districts. No single owner owns more than three parcels within any one Community Facilities District, and no single taxpayer is projected to be responsible for more than 0.64% of Fiscal Year 2025-26 Special Taxes within any one Community Facilities District.

SPECIAL RISK FACTORS Principal Amount* $ 34,090,000 21,805,000 $ 55,895,000 The purchase of the Bonds involves significant risks and is not a suitable investment for all investors. The following is a discussion of certain risk factors which should be considered, in addition to other matters set forth herein, in evaluating the investment quality of the Bonds. This discussion does not purport to be comprehensive or definitive and does not purport to be a complete statement of all factors which may be considered as risks in evaluating the credit quality of the Bonds. The occurrence of one or more of the events discussed herein could adversely affect the ability or willingness of property owners in the Community Facilities Districts to pay their Special Taxes when due. Such failures to pay Special Taxes could result in the inability of the Community Facilities Districts to make full and punctual payments of debt service on the Local Obligations which comprise the Revenues available to pay debt service on the Bonds. In addition, the 26 4932-3978-218lvl3/202091-0001 Docusign Envelope ID: 3EFE5DE9-C71E-480B-80B0-BFC4B657B312 occurrence of one or more of the events discussed herein could adversely affect the value of the property in the Community Facilities Districts. Risks of Real Estate Secured Investments Generally Because the timely payment of debt service on the Bonds will be dependent upon the timely payment of the Local Obligations and the timely payment of the Local Obligations will be dependent upon the timely payment of Special Taxes, which are secured ultimately by the Taxable Property within the Community Facilities Districts, the Bond Owners will be subject to the risks generally incident to an investment secured by real estate, including, without limitation, (i) adverse changes in local market conditions, such as changes in the market value of real property in and around the vicinity of the Community Facilities Districts, the supply of or demand for competitive properties in such area, and the market value of residential property or buildings and/or sites in the event of sale or foreclosure; (ii) changes in real estate tax rates and other operating expenses, governmental rules (including, without limitation, zoning laws and laws relating to endangered species and hazardous materials) and fiscal policies; (iii) natural disasters (including, without limitation, severe earthquakes, wildfires (including smoke damage), floods, drought, and windstorms), which may result in uninsured losses; and (iv) increased delinquencies due to rising mortgage costs or other factors. The Bonds are Limited Obligations of the Authority The Bonds are limited obligations of the Authority payable only from amounts pledged under the Indenture, which consist primarily of payments made to the Trustee on the Local Obligations and the Reserve Fund and the Reserve Accounts therein. Funds for the payment of the principal of and the interest on the Local Obligations are derived only from payments of Special Taxes. The amount of Special Taxes that are collected could be insufficient to pay principal of and interest on the Local Obligations due to non-payment of the Special Taxes levied or due to insufficient proceeds received from a judicial foreclosure sale of land within the Community Facilities Districts following delinquency. The Community Facilities Districts' legal obligations with respect to any delinquent Special Taxes is limited to the institution of judicial foreclosure proceedings under certain circumstances with respect to any parcels for which Special Taxes is delinquent. The Bonds cannot be accelerated in the event of any default. Failure by owners of the parcels within the Community Facilities Districts to pay Special Tax installments when due, delay in foreclosure proceedings, or the inability of the Community Facilities Districts to sell parcels which have been subject to foreclosure proceedings for amounts sufficient to cover the delinquent installments of Special Taxes levied against such parcels may result in the inability of the Community Facilities Districts to make full or timely payments of debt service on the Local Obligations, which may, in turn, result in the depletion of the Reserve Fund and the Reserve Accounts therein and the inability of the Authority to make full or timely payment on the Bonds. No Obligation of the City The Local Obligations and the interest thereon, and in turn, the Bonds, are not payable from the general funds of the City. Except with respect to the Special Taxes, neither the credit nor the taxing power of the Community Facilities Districts or the City is pledged for the payment of the Local Obligations or the interest thereon, and except to compel a levy of the Special Taxes securing the Local Obligations, no Owner of the Bonds may compel the exercise of any taxing power by the Community Facilities Districts or the City or force the forfeiture of any property of the City or the Community Facilities Districts. The principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds are not a debt of the City or the Community Facilities Districts or a legal or equitable pledge, charge, lien or encumbrance upon any of the City's or the Community Facilities Districts' property or upon any of the City's or the Community Facilities Districts' income, receipts or revenues, except the Revenues and other amounts pledged under the Indenture. 27 4932-3978-2181v13/202091-0001 Docusign Envelope ID: 3EFE5DE9-C71E-480B-80B0-BFC4B657B312 Varying Maturities of the Local Obligations The Local Obligations mature at different times. Because the Bonds are payable solely from moneys received by the Authority as debt service on the Local Obligations, the credit quality of the Bonds at any one time depends upon the credit quality of the remaining outstanding Local Obligations. The annual debt service on the CFD No. 06-1 Bonds decreases by approximately $4,000,000* to approximately $279,500.00* in Bond Year 2037-38 and the final maturity of the CFD No. 06-1 Bonds is September 1, 2039. Therefore, starting in Bond Year 2037-38, CFD No. 2014-1 Special Taxes will pay the majority of the debt service on the Bonds and after September 1, 2039, the CFD No. 2014-1 Bonds are expected to be the only source of Revenues to pay the Bonds. See Table 4 for the Fiscal Year 2024-25 assessed value -to -lien ratio for CFD No. 2014-1 and see Appendix A for additional information about CFD No. 2014-1. For a description of the total debt service on the Bonds provided by each Local Obligation, see Table 2 under the heading "THE BONDS — Estimated Debt Service Schedules: Bonds and Local Obligations" herein. No Cross-Collateralization Between Community Facilities Districts The Local Obligations are not cross -collateralized. In other words, the Special Taxes from one Community Facilities District cannot be used directly to cover any shortfall in the payment of debt service on the Local Obligations of the other Community Facilities District. However, all amounts in the Reserve Fund and the Reserve Accounts therein are available to pay debt service on the Bonds if the amounts in the Interest Account or the Principal Account of the Revenue Fund are insufficient to pay the principal of or interest on the Bonds when due. See the caption "SECURITY FOR THE BONDS — Reserve Fund." Potential Early Redemption of Bonds from Prepayments or Other Sources Property owners within the Community Facilities Districts are permitted to prepay their Special Taxes at any time. Such prepayments could also be made from the proceeds of bonds issued by or on behalf of an overlapping community facilities district. Such prepayments will result in a redemption of Local Obligations on the first March 1 or September 1 which is more than 30 days following the receipt of the prepayment. The proceeds of the Local Obligations so redeemed will then be used to make a mandatory redemption of the Bonds. Such mandatory redemption of Bonds that were purchased at a price greater than par could reduce the otherwise expected yield on such Bonds. See "THE BONDS —Redemption —Special Redemption." Fourteen parcels located in CFD No. 06-1, including one parcel consisting of 240 apartment units, were previously subject to the levy of Special Tax A but have prepaid Special Tax A applicable to such parcels in full. Property Values The value of property within the Community Facilities Districts is an important factor in evaluating the investment quality of the Bonds. In the event that a property owner defaults in the payment of a Special Tax installments, a Community Facilities District's only remedy is to judicially foreclose on that property. Prospective purchasers of the Bonds should not assume that the property within the Community Facilities Districts could be sold for the assessed values described herein at a foreclosure sale for delinquent Special Tax installments or for an amount adequate to pay delinquent Special Tax installments. The assessed values set forth in this Official Statement do not represent market values arrived at through an appraisal process and generally reflect only the sales price of a parcel when acquired by its current owner, increased or decreased annually by an amount determined by the Orange County Assessor based on current market conditions, generally not to exceed an increase of more than 2% per fiscal year from the date of * Preliminary, subject to change. 28 4932-3978-2181v13/202091-0001 Docusign Envelope ID: 3EFE5DE9-C71E-480B-80B0-BFC4B657B312 purchase (except in the case of new construction subsequent to such acquisition). No assurance can be given that a parcel could actually be sold for its assessed value. The actual market value of the property is subject to future events such as downturn in the economy, occurrences of certain acts of nature and the decisions of various governmental agencies as to land use, all of which could adversely impact the value of the land in the Community Facilities Districts which is the security for the Local Obligations, which secure the Bonds. As discussed herein, many factors could adversely affect property values or prevent or delay further land development within the Community Facilities Districts. Natural Disasters Seismic Risks. The Community Facilities Districts, like the rest of southern California, are located within a seismically active region. Faults and earthquakes present direct hazards from fault rupture and ground shaking as well as indirect hazards. The most significant known active fault zones that are capable of seismic ground shaking and can impact the City are the Whittier -Elsinore Fault Zone, Newport -Inglewood Fault Zone, and the San Andreas Fault Zone. According to the Hazard Mitigation Plan of the City, four Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zones are located near the City. The Whittier Fault runs along the Chino Hills range between Chino Hills and Whittier, the Elsinore Fault trends along the eastern base of the Santa Ana Mountains, the Newport -Inglewood Fault runs from the City of Inglewood through Huntington Beach and out into the Pacific Ocean near the Newport Beach area and the San Andreas Fault traverses the southern California region and is located east of the City. An earthquake on these faults, or in any other location near the City, would be particularly damaging to residential buildings, especially to those of older wooden or unreinforced masonry construction, or to mobile homes. An earthquake along one of the faults in the vicinity of the Community Facilities Districts, either known or unknown, could cause a number of casualties and extensive property damage. The effects of such a quake could be aggravated by aftershocks and secondary effects such as fires, landslides, dam failure, liquefaction and other threats to public health, safety and welfare. The potential direct and indirect consequences of a major earthquake can easily exceed the resources of the City and would require a high level of self-help, coordination and cooperation. Fire Hazard. In recent years, wildfires have caused extensive damage throughout the State. Certain of these fires have burned thousands of acres and destroyed hundreds and in some cases thousands of homes. In some instances entire neighborhoods have been destroyed. Several fires in recent years damaged or destroyed property in areas that were not previously considered to be at risk from such events. In particular, certain electrical operators in the State have seen their distribution/transmission lines cause widespread fires, resulting in billions of dollars in property damage and the loss of lives. In 2023, as in several prior years, for example, devastating wildfires burned in various communities in the State, causing wide -spread damage. In 2025, communities in Los Angeles County, including Pacific Palisades, Malibu and Altadena, experienced widespread devastation from wildfires causing losses of life, thousands of burned homes, and billions of dollars in property damage. Areas affected by wildfires are more prone to flooding and mudslides that can lead to the destruction of homes. Property damage due to wildfire could result in a significant decrease in the market value of property within the City. On January 16, 2025, Governor Gavin Newsom issued Executive Order N-10-25 (the "Governor's Order) which canceled penalties, costs and interest on overdue property taxes (including special taxes) within certain zip codes affected by the Palisades, Malibu, and Altadena fires during calendar year 2025. This will likely cause a delay in the payment of special taxes by certain property owners in the community facilities districts affected by Governor's Order. Unless the majority of property owners within the community facilities districts pay their special taxes voluntarily or have mortgage impound accounts, it is likely that the community facilities districts will need to draw upon a reserve fund to make debt service payments on outstanding bonds prior to the expiration of the Governor's Order and it is possible that outstanding bonds secured by such special taxes will experience a payment default. In the event of a major fire or other natural disaster affecting 29 4932-3978-2181v13/202091-0001 Docusign Envelope ID: 3EFE5DE9-C71E-480B-80B0-BFC4B657B312 the Community Facilities Districts, a similar order affecting the Community Facilities Districts could impact the debt service payment for the Bonds. Specific to the City, on October 21, 1996, 20 homes were destroyed when a fire was ignited in a previously unincorporated portion of the City. The flames were fanned by the Santa Ana winds gusting up to 40 miles per hour. On November 7, 2023, a 17-story wooden former WWII blimp hangar located at former Marine Corps Air Station Tustin near Armstrong Avenue and Valencia Avenue (the "Navy North Hangar") caught fire. The Navy North Hangar and the 85-acre property on which the Navy North Hangar once stood is owned by the U.S. Department of the Navy (the "Navy"). The Navy North Hangar burned for approximately one week and reignited several times while it smoldered for 24 days. The Orange County Fire Authority coordinated all fire management operations and declared the Navy North Hangar fire to be extinguished on December 1, 2023. Both the City of Tustin and County of Orange issued proclamations of emergency on November 9, 2023. Although the City's remediation response has concluded, the City's proclamation remains in effect while the Navy completes its response on the Navy -owned property. Under a Cooperative Agreement with the Navy and subsequent amendments, the City undertook appropriate emergency measures necessary to protect public health. Extensive air monitoring performed from November 2023 through April 2025 at locations around the Navy North Hangar site, including impacted Tustin neighborhoods, demonstrate no airborne asbestos fibers have been detected as a consequence of the fire. The City also commissioned an independent study reviewed by environmental regulators that found no lead or asbestos contamination in the surrounding area soils or building interiors attributable to the Navy North Hangar fire. The Navy has committed up to $105.8 million to reimburse the City for debris cleanup and related response activities. The City mainly consists of urban terrain. The existence of several petroleum and hazardous materials facilities within the City also contribute to the fire threat. In addition, the Santa Ana winds typically occur during the fire season. These winds blow hot, dry air from the southern California deserts to the coasts, fueling any regional wildfires and making fires much more difficult to contain. Urban fires often consume buildings with the potential to spread to adjoining buildings; however, major urban fires are high unlikely. The City is also susceptible to wildfires as it borders State parks on its northeast side. Wildfires are a major environmental hazard that have historically cost California more than $800 million each year and contribute to "bad air days" throughout the State. Heat and smoke from fires can be more dangerous than the flames. Inhaling the smoke can sear the lungs, and fire also produces poisonous gases that cause disorientation and drowsiness, eventually leading to asphyxiation. As a result, asphyxiation is the leading cause of fire deaths, exceeding burns by a three -to -one ratio. There is a risk of residential property within the Community Facilities Districts being destroyed by urban fires and wildfires and no assurance can be given as to the severity or frequency of fires within the vicinity of the Community Facilities Districts. Additionally, property located adjacent to burn areas can be subject to mudslides and flooding, as well as smoke and contamination by toxic debris, which can cause significant damage and destruction to property. Flood Risk. According to the Hazard Mitigation Plan of the City, the City is not prone to urban flooding. Due to light annual rain fall and the City's location on the flood plain protecting it from channel overflow, dam failure is the most likely cause of flooding with the City. The Santiago Dam is in Orange County, east of the City, and it is an earth/rock filled dam, which creates the Irvine Lake. The City is geographically located such that it is in the potential inundation area for dam failures. However, the potential for dam failure is expected to be low. Floods in the City can cause extensive damage to residential and business properties, parks and recreational facilities, road and highway infrastructure, and critical utility facilities. 30 4932-3978-2181v13/202091-0001 Docusign Envelope ID: 3EFE5DE9-C71E-480B-80B0-BFC4B657B312 In the event of a severe earthquake, fire, flood, drought, windstorm, outbreak of disease or other natural disaster, there may be significant damage to both property and infrastructure in the Community Facilities Districts. As a result, a substantial portion of the property owners may be unable or unwilling to pay the Special Taxes when due. In addition, the value of property in the Community Facilities Districts could be diminished in the aftermath of such a natural disaster, reducing the resulting proceeds of foreclosure sales in the event of delinquencies in the payment of the Special Taxes. Property Insurance In recent years, homeowners in many areas in the State have experienced significant increases in premiums for property and homeowners' insurance policies as well as difficulty in obtaining such insurance from commercial insurance companies. Such increases in the overall cost of homeownership could have a material adverse effect on a homeowner's willingness and/or ability to pay the Special Taxes. In addition, no assurances can be made that adequate homeowners' insurance coverage will be available in the future from reputable insurance companies, with premiums comparable to historical rates, or at all. The inability to obtain adequate insurance coverage could impact the ability of the homeowners' in the City to reconstruct their homes in the event of damage. See the caption "—Natural Disasters." Drought From time to time certain parts of California, including the City, may experience extended drought conditions. Extended drought conditions may impact the market value of properties within the City and the ability or willingness of property owners to pay Special Taxes when due. Hazardous Substances While government taxes, assessments and charges are a common claim against the value of a parcel, other less common claims may also be relevant. One of the most serious in terms of the potential reduction in the value of a parcel is a claim with regard to a hazardous substance. In general, the owners and operators of a parcel may be required by law to remedy conditions relating to releases or threatened releases of hazardous substances. The Federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, sometimes referred to as "CERCLA" or the "Superfund Act," is the most well-known and widely applicable of these laws, but California laws with regard to hazardous substances are also stringent and similar in effect. Under many of these laws, the owner (or operator) is obligated to remedy a hazardous substance condition of a parcel whether or not the owner (or operator) had anything to do with creating or handling the hazardous substance. The effect, therefore, should any of the parcels within the Community Facilities Districts be affected by a hazardous substance, is to reduce the marketability and value by the costs of remedying the condition. The Community Facilities Districts are not aware of the presence of any federally or state classified hazardous substances in violation of any environmental laws, located on the property within the Community Facilities Districts. However, it is possible that such materials do currently exist and that the Community Facilities Districts are not aware of them. Following the fire at the Navy North Hangar, the Navy continues removal of debris and waste handling exclusively from the Navy -owned 85-acre property relating to the Navy North Hangar fire. The City has concluded its cleanup efforts in the areas outside the Navy's 85-acre property. On -going air monitoring at locations around the Navy North Hangar site, including outdoor areas in Tustin neighborhoods that had been impacted by hangar fire debris, demonstrate no airborne asbestos fibers have been detected since the fire. An independent study reviewed by environmental regulators of outdoor soil and indoor air identified no hazardous substances associated with the Navy North Hangar fire incident beyond safe limits. Seethe caption "Natural Disasters —Fire Hazard." 31 4932-3978-2181v13/202091-0001 Docusign Envelope ID: 3EFE5DE9-C71E-480B-80B0-BFC4B657B312 It is possible that owners of property in the Community Facilities Districts may be liable for hazardous substances in the future as a result of the existence, currently, of a substance presently classified as hazardous but which has not been released or the release of which is not presently threatened, or the existence, currently, on the property of a substance not presently classified as hazardous but which may in the future be so classified. Additionally, such liabilities may arise not simply from the existence of a hazardous substance but from the method of handling such substance. All of these possibilities could have the effect of reducing the value of the applicable property. Cybersecurity The City, like many other public and private entities, relies on a large and complex technology environment to conduct its operations. As a recipient and provider of personal, private, or sensitive information, the City is subject to multiple cyber threats including, but not limited to, hacking, viruses, malware and other attacks on computer and other sensitive digital networks and systems. Entities or individuals may attempt to gain unauthorized access to the City's digital systems for the purposes of misappropriating assets or information or causing operational disruption and damage. To date, the City has not experienced an attack on its computer operating systems which resulted in a breach of its cybersecurity systems that are in place. However, no assurances can be given that the City's efforts to manage cyber threats and attacks will be successful or that any such attack will not materially impact the operations or finances of the City. The City takes a multi -layered approach to defend against breaches. Additionally, the City carries cybersecurity insurance. Parity Taxes and Special Assessments Property within the Community Facilities Districts is subject to taxes and other charges levied by several other public agencies. See the discussion of direct and overlapping indebtedness in Appendix A — "INFORMATION REGARDING THE COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICTS." None of the Authority, the Community Facilities Districts or the City has control over the ability of other entities and districts to issue indebtedness secured by special taxes or assessments payable from all or a portion of the property within the Community Facilities Districts. The Special Taxes and any penalties thereon will constitute a lien against the lots and parcels of land on which they will be annually imposed until they are paid. Such lien is on a parity with the lien of all special taxes and special assessments levied by other agencies and is co -equal to and independent of the lien for general ad valorem property taxes regardless of when they are imposed upon the same property. The Special Taxes have priority over all existing and future private liens imposed on the property except, possibly, for liens or security interests held by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. See "— Bankruptcy and Foreclosure" below. None of the Authority, the Community Facilities Districts or the City has control over the ability of other entities and districts to issue indebtedness secured by special taxes, ad valorem taxes or assessments payable from all or a portion of the property within the Community Facilities Districts. In addition, the landowners within the Community Facilities Districts may, without the consent or knowledge of the Authority, the Community Facilities Districts or the City, petition other public agencies to issue public indebtedness secured by special taxes, ad valorem taxes or assessments. Any such special taxes, ad valorem taxes or assessments may have a lien on such property on a parity with the Special Taxes and could reduce the estimated value -to -lien ratios for property within the Community Facilities Districts described in this Official Statement. Payment of the Special Tax is not a Personal Obligation of the Owners An owner of a taxable parcel is not personally obligated to pay the Special Tax. Rather, the Special Tax is an obligation which is secured only by a lien against the taxable parcel. If the proceeds received from 32 4932-3978-2181v13/202091-0001 Docusign Envelope ID: 3EFE5DE9-C71E-480B-80B0-BFC4B657B312 the sale of a taxable parcel following a Special Tax delinquency are not sufficient, taking into account other liens imposed by public agencies, to pay the full amount of the Special Tax delinquency, the Community Facilities Districts have no recourse against the owner of the parcel. Disclosures to Future Purchasers The willingness or ability of an owner of a parcel to pay the Special Tax even if the value is sufficient may be affected by whether or not the owner was given due notice of the Special Tax authorization at the time the owner purchased the parcel, was informed of the amount of the Special Tax on the parcel should the Special Tax be levied at the maximum tax rate and the risk of such a levy and, at the time of such a levy, has the ability to pay it as well as pay other expenses and obligations. The City has caused a notice of the Special Tax that may be levied against the taxable parcels in each Community Facilities District to be recorded in the Office of the Recorder for the County. While title companies normally refer to such notices in title reports, there can be no guarantee that such reference will be made or, if made, that a prospective purchaser or lender will consider such Special Tax obligation in the purchase of a property within the Community Facilities Districts or lending of money thereon. The Mello -Roos Act requires the subdivider (or its agent or representative) of a subdivision to notify a prospective purchaser or long-term lessor of any lot, parcel, or unit subject to a Mello -Roos special tax of the existence and maximum amount of such special tax using a statutorily prescribed form. California Civil Code Section 1102.6b requires that in the case of transfers other than those covered by the above requirement, the seller must at least make a good faith effort to notify the prospective purchaser of the special tax lien in a format prescribed by statute. Failure by an owner of the property to comply with the above requirements, or failure by a purchaser or lessor to consider or understand the nature and existence of the Special Tax, could adversely affect the willingness and ability of the purchaser or lessor to pay the Special Tax when due. Special Tax Delinquencies Under provisions of the Mello -Roos Act, the Special Taxes, from which funds necessary for the payment of principal of and interest on the Local Obligations and, thus, the Bonds are derived, are customarily billed to the properties within the Community Facilities Districts on the ad valorem property tax bills sent by the County to owners of such properties. The Mello -Roos Act currently provides that such Special Tax installments are due and payable, and bear the same penalties and interest for non-payment, as do ad valorem property tax installments. See the delinquency tables in Appendix A — "INFORMATION REGARDING THE COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICTS" for the Special Tax delinquency history of each Community Facilities District over the last five Fiscal Years and see Table 7 above for the aggregate Special Tax delinquencies in the combined Community Facilities Districts for the last five Fiscal Years. See "SECURITY FOR THE LOCAL OBLIGATIONS — Covenants of the Community Facilities Districts — Commence Foreclosure Proceedings," for a discussion of the provisions which apply, and procedures which the Community Facilities Districts are obligated to follow under the Local Obligation Indentures, in the event of delinquencies in the payment of Special Taxes. See "— Bankruptcy and Foreclosure" below for a discussion of the policy of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC") regarding the payment of special taxes and assessment and limitations on the Community Facilities Districts' ability to foreclose on the lien of the Special Taxes in certain circumstances. The Community Facilities Districts have the authority and the obligation, subject to the Mello -Roos Act and the maximum Special Tax rates set forth in each Rate and Method, to increase the levy of Special Taxes against non -delinquent property owners in the applicable Community Facilities District in the event other owners within such Community Facilities District are delinquent. Pursuant to each Rate and Method, under no circumstances may the Special Tax levied against any parcel for which an occupancy permit for 33 4932-3978-2181v13/202091-0001 Docusign Envelope ID: 3EFE5DE9-C71E-480B-80B0-BFC4B657B312 private residential use has been issued be increased by more than 10% per fiscal year as a consequence of delinquency or default by the owner of any other parcel or parcels within the Community Facilities District. Thus, the Community Facilities Districts may not be able to increase Special Tax levies in future fiscal years by enough to make up for delinquencies for prior fiscal years. This would result in draws on the Reserve Fund and the Reserve Accounts therein, and if delinquencies continue and in the aggregate exceed the Reserve Fund balance, defaults would occur in the payment of principal and interest on the Bonds. Insufficiency of Special Taxes Notwithstanding that the maximum Special Taxes that may be levied in the Community Facilities Districts exceeds debt service due on the Local Obligations, the Special Taxes collected could be inadequate to make timely payment of debt service either because of nonpayment or because property becomes exempt from taxation. Each Rate and Method exempts certain specified property from the Special Tax levy. See Appendix D-1 — "RATE AND METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF SPECIAL TAXES FOR COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT NO. 06-1," and Appendix D-2 — "RATE AND METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF SPECIAL TAXES FOR COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICTS CFD NO. 2014- 1." If for any reason property within a Community Facilities District becomes exempt from taxation by reason of ownership by a non-taxable entity such as the federal government, another public agency or other organization determined to be exempt, subject to the limitations of the maximum authorized rates, the Special Tax will be reallocated to the remaining taxable properties within such Community Facilities District. This could result in certain owners of property paying a greater amount of the Special Tax and could have an adverse impact upon the ability and willingness of the owners of such property to pay the Special Tax when due. The Mello -Roos Act provides that, if any property within a Community Facilities District not otherwise exempt from the Special Tax is acquired by a public entity through a negotiated transaction, or by gift or devise, the Special Tax will continue to be levied on and enforceable against the public entity that acquired the property. In addition, the Mello -Roos Act provides that, if property subject to the Special Tax is acquired by a public entity through eminent domain proceedings, the obligation to pay the Special Tax with respect to that property is to be treated as if it were a special assessment and be paid from the eminent domain award. The constitutionality and operation of these provisions of the Mello -Roos Act have not been tested in the courts. Due to problems of collecting taxes from public agencies, if a substantial portion of land within a Community Facilities District became owned by public agencies, collection of the Special Tax might become more difficult and could result in collections of the Special Tax which might not be sufficient to pay principal of and interest on the related Local Obligations when due, or if a substantial portion of land within a Community Facilities District became exempt from the Special Tax because of public ownership, or otherwise, the maximum Special Taxes which could be levied upon the remaining Taxable Property therein might not be sufficient to pay principal of and interest on the related Local Obligations when due, and in either case a default could occur with respect to the payment of such principal and interest, and, in turn, a default could occur in the payment of the principal and interest on the Bonds. Moreover, under no circumstances may the Special Tax levied against any parcel for which an occupancy permit for private residential use has been issued within a Community Facilities District be increased by more than 10% per fiscal year as a consequence of delinquency or default by the owner of any other parcel or parcels within such Community Facilities District. Thus, the Community Facilities Districts may not be able to increase Special Tax levies in a Community Facilities District in future fiscal years by enough to make up for delinquencies within such Community Facilities District for prior fiscal years. This may result in draws on the Reserve Fund and the Reserve Accounts therein, and if delinquencies continue and in the aggregate exceed the Reserve Fund balance, defaults would occur in the payment of principal and interest on the Bonds. See "SECURITY FOR THE LOCAL OBLIGATIONS." 34 4932-3978-2181v13/202091-0001 Docusign Envelope ID: 3EFE5DE9-C71E-480B-80B0-BFC4B657B312 Risks Associated with Bond Insurance [In the event that the Authority defaults in the payment of principal of or interest on the Insured Bonds when due, the Owners of the Insured Bonds will have a claim under the Policy for such payments. See the caption `BOND INSURANCE." In the event that the Insurer becomes obligated to make payments on the Insured Bonds, no assurance can be given that such event will not adversely affect the market for the Insured Bonds. In the event that the Insurer is unable to make payments of principal of or interest on the Insured Bonds when due under the Policy or the Reserve Policy, the Insured Bonds will be payable solely from Revenues and amounts that are held in certain funds and accounts established under the Indenture, as described under the caption "SECURITY FOR THE BONDS." The long-term credit rating on the Insured Bonds is dependent in part on the financial strength of the Insurer and its claims -paying ability. The Insurer's financial strength and claims -paying ability are predicated upon a number of factors which could change over time. If the long-term ratings of the Insurer are lowered, such event could adversely affect the market for the Insured Bonds. See the caption "MISCELLANEOUS — Ratings." None of the Authority, the Community Facilities Districts, the City or the Underwriter has made an independent investigation of the claims -paying ability of the Insurer, and no assurance or representation regarding the financial strength or projected financial strength of the Insurer is being made by the Authority, the Community Facilities Districts, the City or the Underwriter in this Official Statement. Therefore, when making an investment decision with respect to the Insured Bonds, potential investors should carefully consider the ability of the Authority to pay principal and interest on the Insured Bonds, assuming that the Policy is not available to pay principal and interest on the Insured Bonds, and the claims -paying ability of the Insurer through final maturity of the Insured Bonds. So long as the Policy remains in effect and the Insurer is not in default of its obligations thereunder, the Insurer has certain notice, consent and other rights under the Indenture and will have the right to control all remedies in the event of a default under the Indenture as to the Bonds. The Insurer is not required to obtain the consent of the Owners of the Insured Bonds with respect to the exercise of remedies. See Appendix B.] FDIC/Federal Government Interests in Properties The ability of the Community Facilities Districts to collect interest and penalties specified by the Act and to foreclose the lien of delinquent Special Taxes may be limited in certain respects with regard to parcels in which the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC"), or other federal government entities such as Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, has or obtains an interest. In the case of FDIC, in the event that any financial institution making a loan which is secured by parcels is taken over by the FDIC and the applicable Special Tax is not paid, the remedies available to the Community Facilities Districts may be constrained. The FDIC's policy statement regarding the payment of state and local real property taxes (the "Policy Statement") provides that taxes other than ad valorem taxes which are secured by a valid lien in effect before the FDIC acquired an interest in a property will be paid unless the FDIC determines that abandonment of its interests is appropriate. The Policy Statement provides that the FDIC generally will not pay installments of non -ad valorem taxes which are levied after the time the FDIC acquires its fee interest, nor will the FDIC recognize the validity of any lien to secure payment except in certain cases where the Resolution Trust Corporation had an interest in property on or prior to December 31, 1995. Moreover, the Policy Statement provides that, with respect to parcels on which the FDIC holds a mortgage lien, the FDIC will not permit its lien to be foreclosed out by a taxing authority without its specific consent, nor will the FDIC pay or recognize liens for any penalties, fines or similar claims imposed for the non-payment of taxes. 35 4932-3978-2181v13/202091-0001 Docusign Envelope ID: 3EFE5DE9-C71E-480B-80B0-BFC4B657B312 The FDIC has taken a position similar to that expressed in the Policy Statement in legal proceedings brought against Orange County in United States Bankruptcy Court and in Federal District Court. The Bankruptcy Court issued a ruling in favor of the FDIC on certain of such claims. Orange County appealed that ruling, and the FDIC cross -appealed. On August 28, 2001, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals issued a ruling favorable to the FDIC except with respect to the payment of pre -receivership liens based upon delinquent property tax. The Community Facilities Districts are unable to predict what effect the application of the Policy Statement would have in the event of a delinquency with respect to parcels in which the FDIC has or obtains an interest, although prohibiting the lien of the FDIC to be foreclosed out at a judicial foreclosure sale would prevent or delay the foreclosure sale. In the case of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, in the event a parcel of taxable property is owned by a federal government entity or federal government sponsored entity, such as Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, or a private deed of trust secured by a parcel of taxable property is owned by a federal government entity or federal government sponsored entity, such as Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, the ability to foreclose on the parcel or to collect delinquent Special Taxes may be limited. Federal courts have held that, based on the supremacy clause of the United States Constitution "this Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof, and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding." In the absence of Congressional intent to the contrary, a state or local agency cannot foreclose to collect delinquent taxes or assessments if foreclosure would impair the federal government interest. This means that, unless Congress has otherwise provided, if a federal government entity owns a parcel of taxable property but does not pay taxes and assessments levied on the parcel (including Special Taxes), the applicable state and local governments cannot foreclose on the parcel to collect the delinquent taxes and assessments. Moreover, unless Congress has otherwise provided, if the federal government has a mortgage interest in the parcel and the Community Facilities Districts wish to foreclose on the parcel as a result of delinquent Special Taxes, the property cannot be sold at a foreclosure sale unless it can be sold for an amount sufficient to pay delinquent taxes and assessments on a parity with the Special Taxes and preserve the federal government's mortgage interest. For a discussion of risks associated with taxable parcels within the Community Facilities Districts becoming owned by the federal government, federal government entities or federal government sponsored entities, see "— Insufficiency of Special Tax Revenues." The Community Facilities Districts' remedies may also be limited in the case of delinquent Special Taxes with respect to parcels in which other federal agencies (such as the Internal Revenue Service and the Drug Enforcement Administration) have or obtain an interest. Bankruptcy and Foreclosure In the event of a delinquency in the payment of the Special Taxes, the Community Facilities Districts, under certain circumstances, are required to commence enforcement proceedings as described under the heading "SECURITY FOR THE LOCAL OBLIGATIONS — Covenants of the Community Facilities Districts." However, prosecution of such proceedings could be delayed due to crowded local court calendars, dilatory legal tactics, or bankruptcy. It is also possible that the Community Facilities Districts will be unable to realize proceeds in an amount sufficient to pay the applicable delinquency. Moreover, the ability of the Community Facilities Districts to commence and prosecute enforcement proceedings may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws generally affecting creditors' rights (such as the Soldiers' and Sailors' Relief Act of 1940) and by the laws of the State relating to judicial and non judicial foreclosure. Although bankruptcy proceedings would not cause the liens of the Special Taxes to become extinguished, the amount and priority of any Special Tax liens could be modified if the value of the property falls below the value of the lien. If the value of the property is less than the lien, such excess amount could be treated as an unsecured 36 4932-3978-2181v13/202091-0001 Docusign Envelope ID: 3EFE5DE9-C71E-480B-80B0-BFC4B657B312 claim by the bankruptcy court. In addition, bankruptcy of a property owner could result in a delay in the enforcement proceedings because federal bankruptcy laws provide for an automatic stay of foreclosure and tax sale proceedings. Any such delay could increase the likelihood of delay or default in payment of the principal of and interest on the Local Obligations, and the possibility of delinquent tax installments not being paid in full. The various legal opinions delivered in connection with the issuance of the Bonds, including Bond Counsel's approving legal opinion, are qualified as to the enforceability of the Bonds, the Indenture, the Local Obligations and the Local Obligation Indentures by reference to bankruptcy, reorganization, moratorium, insolvency and other laws affecting the rights of creditors generally or against public corporations such as the Community Facilities Districts. Funds Invested in the County Investment Pool On January 24, 1996, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California held that a State statute providing for a priority of distribution of property held in trust conflicted with, and was preempted by, federal bankruptcy law. In that case, the court addressed the priority of the disposition of moneys held in a county investment pool upon bankruptcy of the county. Following payment of the Special Taxes to the Community Facilities Districts and prior to payment by the Trustee of debt service on the Local Obligations, such funds may be invested in the name of the City or a Community Facilities District for a period of time in the County investment pool. In the event of a petition of or the adjustment of County debts under Chapter 9 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code, a court might hold that the Community Facilities Districts and in turn the Authority and the Bond owners do not have a valid and/or prior lien on the Special Taxes or debt service payments on the Local Obligations where such amounts are deposited in the County investment pool and may not provide the Bond owners with a priority interest in such amounts. In that circumstance, unless the Bond owners could "trace" the funds that have been deposited in the County investment pool, the Bond owners would be unsecured (rather than secured) creditors of the County. There can be no assurance that the Bond owners could successfully so trace the Special Taxes or debt service payments. No Acceleration Provision The Bonds do not contain a provision allowing for the acceleration of the Bonds in the event of a payment default or other default under the terms of the Bonds or the Indenture. Pursuant to the Indenture, an Owner of the Bonds is given the right for the equal benefit and protection of all owners similarly situated to pursue certain remedies described in Appendix B — "SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL LEGAL DOCUMENTS — SUMMARY OF AUTHORITY INDENTURE — EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES." Limitations on Remedies Remedies available to the Owners of the Bonds may be limited by a variety of factors and may be inadequate to assure the timely payment of principal of and interest on the Bonds or to preserve the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of interest on the Bonds. Bond Counsel has limited its opinion as to the enforceability of the Bonds and of the Indenture to the extent that enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance or transfer, moratorium, or other similar laws affecting generally the enforcement of creditors' rights, by equitable principles, by the exercise of judicial discretion and by limitations on remedies against public agencies in the State. The lack of availability of certain remedies or the limitation of remedies may entail risks of delay, limitation or modification of the rights of the owners of the Bonds. Loss of Tax Exemption As discussed under the caption "LEGAL MATTERS — Tax Matters" herein, interest (and original issue discount) on the Bonds could become includable in gross income for purposes of federal income taxation retroactive to the date the Bonds were issued, as a result of future acts or omissions of the Authority, the City 37 4932-3978-2181v13/202091-0001 Docusign Envelope ID: 3EFE5DE9-C71E-480B-80B0-BFC4B657B312 or the Community Facilities Districts in violation of covenants in the Indenture or the Local Obligation Indentures, respectively. Should such an event of taxability occur, the Bonds are not subject to a special redemption and will remain outstanding until maturity or until redeemed under one of the other redemption provisions contained in the Indenture. Future legislative proposals, if enacted into law, clarification of the Code or court decisions may cause interest (and original issue discount) on the Bonds to be subject, directly or indirectly, to federal income taxation or to be subject to or exempted from state income taxation, or otherwise prevent Beneficial Owners from realizing the full current benefit of the tax status of such interest (and original issue discount). The introduction or enactment of legislative proposals, clarification of the Code or court decisions may also affect the market price for, or marketability of, the Bonds. Prospective purchasers of the Bonds should consult their own tax advisors regarding any pending or proposed federal or state tax legislation, regulations or litigation, as to which Bond Counsel expresses no opinion. It is possible that subsequent to the issuance of the Bonds there might be federal, State, or local statutory changes (or judicial or regulatory interpretations of federal, State, or local law) that affect the federal, State, or local tax treatment of the Bonds or the market value of the Bonds. No assurance can be given that subsequent to the issuance of the Bonds such changes or interpretations will not occur. See "LEGAL MATTERS — Tax Matters" below. Limited Secondary Market There can be no guarantee that there will be a secondary market for the Bonds or, if a secondary market exists, that such Bonds can be sold for any particular price. Although the Authority has committed to provide certain statutorily required financial and operating information, there can be no assurance that such information will be available to Bondowners on a timely basis. See "INTRODUCTION — Continuing Disclosure" and Appendix F — "FORM OF CONTINUING DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT." Any failure to provide annual financial information, if required, does not give rise to monetary damages but merely an action for specific performance. Occasionally, because of general market conditions, lack of current information, the absence of a credit rating for the Bonds or because of adverse history or economic prospects connected with a particular issue, secondary marketing practices in connection with a particular issue are suspended or terminated. Additionally, 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. Proposition 218 An initiative measure commonly referred to as the "Right to Vote on Taxes Act" (the "Initiative") was approved by the voters of the State of California at the November 5, 1996 general election. The Initiative added Article XIIIC and Article XIIID to the California Constitution. According to the "Title and Summary" of the Initiative prepared by the California Attorney General, the Initiative limits "the authority of local governments to impose taxes and property -related assessments, fees and charges." The provisions of the Initiative continue to be interpreted by the courts. The Initiative could potentially impact the Special Taxes available to the Community Facilities Districts to pay the principal of and interest on the Local Obligations as described below. Among other things, Section 3 of Article XIIIC states 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 Mello -Roos Act provides for a procedure which includes notice, hearing, protest and voting requirements to alter the rate and method of apportionment of an existing special tax. However, the Mello -Roos Act prohibits a legislative body from adopting any resolution to reduce the rate of any special tax or terminate the levy of any special tax pledged to repay any debt incurred pursuant to the Mello -Roos Act unless such legislative body determines that the reduction or termination of the special tax would not interfere with the 38 4932-3978-2181v13/202091-0001 Docusign Envelope ID: 3EFE5DE9-C71E-480B-80B0-BFC4B657B312 timely retirement of that debt. On August 1, 1997, a bill was signed into law by the Governor of the State enacting Government Code Section 5854, which states that: Section 3 of Article XIIIC of the California Constitution, as adopted at the November 5, 1996, general election, shall not be construed to mean that any owner or beneficial owner of a municipal security, purchased before or after that date, assumes the risk of, or in any way consents to, any action by initiative measure that constitutes an impairment of contractual rights protected by Section 10 of Article I of the United States Constitution. Accordingly, although the matter is not free from doubt, it is likely that the Initiative has not conferred on the voters the power to repeal or reduce the Special Taxes if such reduction would interfere with the timely retirement of the Local Obligations. It may be possible, however, for voters or the City Council acting as the legislative body of the Community Facilities Districts, to reduce the Special Taxes in a manner which does not interfere with the timely repayment of the Local Obligations, but which does reduce the maximum amount of Special Taxes that may be levied in any year below the existing levels. Therefore, no assurance can be given with respect to the levy of Special Taxes for Administrative Expenses. Furthermore, no assurance can be given with respect to the future levy of the Special Taxes in amounts greater than the amount necessary for the timely retirement of the Local Obligations. Nevertheless, to the maximum extent that the law permits it to do so, the Community Facilities Districts will covenant in each Local Obligation Bond Indenture executed by it that it will not initiate proceedings under the Mello -Roos Act to reduce the maximum Special Tax rates in a Community Facilities District below an amount equal to 110 percent of the debt service for the Local Obligations of such Community Facilities District in each Bond Year. The Community Facilities Districts also will covenant in each Local Obligation Bond Indenture executed by it that, in the event an initiative is adopted which purports to alter the Rate and Method of Apportionment of Special Tax for its Community Facilities Districts, it will commence and pursue legal action in order to preserve its ability to comply with the foregoing covenant. However, no assurance can be given as to the enforceability of the foregoing covenants. With respect to the approval of the Special Taxes, on August 1, 2014, the California Court of Appeal, Fourth Appellate District, Division One, issued its opinion in City of San Diego v. Melvin Shapiro, et al. (D063997) (the "San Diego Decision"). The case involved a Convention Center Facilities District (the "CCFD") established by the City of San Diego. The CCFD is a financing district much like the Community Facilities Districts established under the provisions of the Act. The CCFD is comprised of all of the real property in San Diego. However, the special tax to be levied within the CCFD was to be levied only on hotel properties located within the CCFD. The election authorizing the special tax was limited to owners of hotel properties and lessees of real property owned by a governmental entity on which a hotel is located. Thus, the election was not a registered voter election. Such approach to determining who would constitute the qualified electors of the CCFD was modeled after Section 53326(c) of the Act, which generally provides that, if a special tax will not be apportioned in any tax year on residential property, the legislative body may provide that the vote shall be by the landowners of the proposed district whose property would be subject to the special tax. The Court held that the CCFD special tax election was invalid under the California Constitution because Article XIIIA, Section 4 thereof and Article XIIIC, Section 2 thereof require that the electors in such an election be the registered voters within the district. The facts of the San Diego Decision show that there were hundreds of thousands of registered voters within the CCFD (viz., all of the registered voters in San Diego). The elections held in the Community Facilities Districts had no registered voters at the time of the elections to authorize the respective Special Taxes. In the San Diego Decision, the Court expressly stated that it was not addressing the validity of landowner voting to impose special taxes pursuant to the Act in situations where there are fewer than 12 registered voters. Thus, by its terms, the Court's holding does not apply to the Special Tax elections in the 39 4932-3978-2181v13/202091-0001 Docusign Envelope ID: 3EFE5DE9-C71E-480B-80B0-BFC4B657B312 Community Facilities Districts. Moreover, Section 53341 of the Act provides that any "action or proceeding to attack, review, set aside, void or annul the levy of a special tax ... shall be commenced within 30 days after the special tax is approved by the voters." Similarly, Section 53359 of the Act provides that any action to determine the validity of bonds issued pursuant to the Act be brought within 30 days of the voters approving the issuance of such bonds. Voters in the Community Facilities Districts approved their respective Special Taxes more than 30 days ago. Based on Sections 53341 and 53359 of the Act and analysis of existing laws, regulations, rulings and court decisions, Bond Counsel is of the opinion that no successful challenge to the Special Taxes being levied in accordance with the applicable Rate and Method may now be brought. The interpretation and application of the Initiative will ultimately be determined by the courts with respect to a number of the matters discussed above, and it is not possible at this time to predict with certainty the outcome of such determination or the timeliness of any remedy afforded by the courts. See "SPECIAL RISK FACTORS — Limitations on Remedies." Ballot Initiatives Articles XIII A, XIII B, XIII C and XIII D, all of which placed certain limitations on the power of local agencies to tax, collect and expend revenues, were adopted pursuant to measures qualified for the ballot pursuant to California's constitutional initiative process and the State Legislature has in the past enacted legislation which has altered the spending limitations or established minimum funding provisions for particular activities. From time to time, other initiative measures could be adopted by California voters or legislation enacted by the legislature. The adoption of any such initiative or legislation might place limitations on the ability of the State, the City, or the Community Facilities Districts to increase revenues or to increase appropriations or on the ability of the landowners within the Community Facilities Districts to complete proposed future development. LEGAL MATTERS Tax Matters In the opinion of Stradling Yocca Carlson & Rauth LLP, Newport Beach, California, Bond Counsel, under existing statutes, regulations, rulings and judicial decisions, and assuming the accuracy of certain representations and compliance with certain covenants and requirements described herein, interest (and original issue discount) on the Bonds is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes, and is not an item of tax preference for purposes of calculating the federal alternative minimum tax imposed on individuals. However, it should be noted that with respect to applicable corporations as defined in Section 59(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), generally certain corporations with more than $1,000,000,000 of average annual adjusted financial statement income, interest (and original issue discount) with respect to the Bonds might be taken into account in determining adjusted financial statement income for purposes of computing the alternative minimum tax imposed by Section 55 of the Code on such corporations. In the further opinion of Bond Counsel, interest (and original issue discount) on the Bonds is exempt from State of California personal income tax. The excess of the stated redemption price at maturity of a Bond over the issue price of a Bond (the first price at which a substantial amount of the Bonds of a maturity is to be sold to the public) constitutes original issue discount. Original issue discount accrues under a constant yield method, and original issue discount will accrue to a Beneficial Owner before receipt of cash attributable to such excludable income. The amount of original issue discount deemed received by the Beneficial Owner will increase the Beneficial Owner's basis in the applicable Bond. Bond Counsel's opinion as to the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of interest (and original issue discount) on the Bonds is based upon certain representations of fact and certifications made by the Authority, the Community Facilities Districts and others and is subject to the 40 4932-3978-2181v13/202091-0001 Docusign Envelope ID: 3EFE5DE9-C71E-480B-80B0-BFC4B657B312 condition that the Authority and the Community Facilities Districts comply with all requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), that must be satisfied subsequent to the issuance of the Bonds to assure that interest (and original issue discount) on the Bonds will not become includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes. Failure to comply with such requirements of the Code might cause the interest (and original issue discount) on the Bonds to be included in gross income for federal income tax purposes retroactive to the date of issuance of the Bonds. The Authority and the Community Facilities Districts will covenant to comply with all such requirements. The amount by which a Beneficial Owner's original basis for determining loss on sale or exchange in the applicable Bond (generally, the purchase price) exceeds the amount payable on maturity (or on an earlier call date) constitutes amortizable bond premium, which must be amortized under Section 171 of the Code; such amortizable bond premium reduces the Beneficial Owner's basis in the applicable Bond (and the amount of tax-exempt interest received), and is not deductible for federal income tax purposes. The basis reduction as a result of the amortization of bond premium may result in a Beneficial Owner realizing a taxable gain when a Bond is sold by the Beneficial Owner for an amount equal to or less (under certain circumstances) than the original cost of the Bond to the Beneficial Owner. Purchasers of the Bonds should consult their own tax advisors as to the treatment, computation and collateral consequences of amortizable bond premium. Bond Counsel's opinions may be affected by actions taken (or not taken) or events occurring (or not occurring) after the date hereof. Bond Counsel has not undertaken to determine, or to inform any person, whether any such actions or events are taken or do occur. The Indenture, the Local Obligations Indentures and the Tax Certificate relating to the Bonds permit certain actions to be taken or to be omitted if a favorable opinion of a bond counsel is provided with respect thereto. Bond Counsel expresses no opinion as to the effect on the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of interest on any Bond if any such action is taken or omitted based upon the advice of counsel other than Stradling Yocca Carlson & Rauth LLP . Although Bond Counsel will render an opinion that interest on the Bonds is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes provided that the Authority and the Community Facilities Districts continue to comply with certain requirements of the Code, the ownership of the Bonds and the accrual or receipt of interest with respect to the Bonds may otherwise affect the tax liability of certain persons. Bond Counsel expresses no opinion regarding any such tax consequences. Accordingly, before purchasing any of the Bonds, all potential purchasers should consult their tax advisors with respect to collateral tax consequences relating to the Bonds. The Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") has initiated an expanded program for the auditing of tax- exempt bond issues, including both random and targeted audits. It is possible that the Bonds will be selected for audit by the IRS. It is also possible that the market value of the Bonds might be affected as a result of such an audit of the Bonds (or by an audit of similar bonds). No assurance can be given that in the course of an audit, as a result of an audit, or otherwise, Congress or the IRS might not change the Code (or interpretation thereof) subsequent to the issuance of the Bonds to the extent that it adversely affects the exclusion from gross income of interest on the Bonds or their market value. SUBSEQUENT TO THE ISSUANCE OF THE BONDS THERE MIGHT BE FEDERAL, STATE, OR LOCAL STATUTORY CHANGES (OR JUDICIAL OR REGULATORY CHANGES TO OR INTERPRETATIONS OF FEDERAL, STATE, OR LOCAL LAW) THAT AFFECT THE FEDERAL, STATE, OR LOCAL TAX TREATMENT OF THE BONDS INCLUDING THE IMPOSITION OF ADDITIONAL FEDERAL INCOME OR STATE TAXES BEING IMPOSED ON OWNERS OF TAX- EXEMPT STATE OR LOCAL OBLIGATIONS, SUCH AS THE BONDS. THESE CHANGES COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT THE MARKET VALUE OR LIQUIDITY OF THE BONDS. NO ASSURANCE CAN BE GIVEN THAT SUBSEQUENT TO THE ISSUANCE OF THE BONDS STATUTORY CHANGES WILL NOT BE INTRODUCED OR ENACTED OR JUDICIAL OR REGULATORY INTERPRETATIONS WILL NOT OCCUR HAVING THE EFFECTS DESCRIBED ABOVE. BEFORE PURCHASING ANY OF THE BONDS, ALL POTENTIAL PURCHASERS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS 41 4932-3978-2181v13/202091-0001 Docusign Envelope ID: 3EFE5DE9-C71E-480B-80B0-BFC4B657B312 REGARDING POSSIBLE STATUTORY CHANGES OR JUDICIAL OR REGULATORY CHANGES OR INTERPRETATIONS, AND THEIR COLLATERAL TAX CONSEQUENCES RELATING TO THE BONDS. See Appendix E — "FORM OF BOND COUNSEL OPINION" for a form of the opinion to be provided by Bond Counsel on the date of issuance of the Bonds. Absence of Litigation The Authority will certify at the time the Bonds are issued that no litigation is pending or threatened concerning the validity of the Bonds or the Local Obligations and that no action, suit or proceeding is known by the Authority to be pending that would restrain or enjoin the delivery of the Bonds or the Local Obligations, or contest or affect the validity of the Bonds or the Local Obligations or any proceedings of the Authority taken with respect to the Bonds or the Local Obligations. The Community Facilities Districts will also each certify at the time the Bonds are issued that no litigation is pending or threatened concerning the validity the Local Obligations and that no action, suit or proceeding is known by the Community Facilities District to be pending that would restrain or enjoin the delivery of the Local Obligations, or contest or affect the validity of the Local Obligations or any proceedings of the Community Facilities Districts taken with respect to the Local Obligations. The City and Navy have received claims related to the Navy North Hangar fire, but no litigation has been initiated. Legal Opinion Certain proceedings in connection with the issuance of the Bonds are subject to the approval as to their legality of Stradling Yocca Carlson & Rauth LLP, Newport Beach, California, Bond Counsel for the Authority in connection with the issuance of the Bonds. The opinion of Bond Counsel approving the validity of the Bonds substantially in the form attached as Appendix E hereto will be attached to each Bond. Bond Counsel's employment is limited to a review of legal procedures required for the approval of the Bonds and to rendering an opinion as to the validity of the Bonds and the exemption of interest (and original issue discount) on the Bonds from income taxation. Bond Counsel expresses no opinion to the Owners of the Bonds as to the accuracy, completeness or fairness of this Official Statement or other offering materials relating to the Bonds and expressly disclaims any duty to do so. Payment of the fees of Bond Counsel, Disclosure Counsel, the Underwriter and Underwriter's Counsel is contingent upon issuance of the Bonds. MISCELLANEOUS Ratings S&P Global Ratings, a Standard & Poor's Financial Services LLC business ("S&P"), has assigned the rating of "AA" to the Insured Bonds based upon the delivery of the Policy by the Insurer at the time of issuance of the Bonds. See `BOND INSURANCE" herein. In addition, S&P has assigned its underlying rating of "A+" to the Bonds, independent of the delivery of the Policy. There is no assurance that any credit rating given to the Bonds will be maintained for any period of time or that the ratings may not be lowered or withdrawn entirely by S&P if, in the judgment of S&P, circumstances so warrant. Any downward revision or withdrawal of such ratings may have an adverse effect on the market price of the Bonds. Such ratings reflect only the views of S&P and an explanation of the significance of such ratings may be obtained from S&P. Generally, rating agencies base their ratings on information and materials furnished to them (which may include information and material from the City, the Authority or the Community Facilities Districts which is not included in this Official Statement) and on investigations, studies and assumptions by the rating agencies. 42 4932-3978-2181v13/202091-0001 Docusign Envelope ID: 3EFE5DE9-C71E-480B-80B0-BFC4B657B312 The Authority has covenanted in a Continuing Disclosure Agreement to file notices of any rating changes on the Bonds.

D. SPECIAL TAX A BUYDOWN All of the requirements of this Section D, which describes the need for a Special Tax A Buydown that may result from a change in development as determined pursuant to this Section D, shall only apply after the sale of Bonds by CFD No. 06-1. The following definitions apply to this Section D: "Certificate of Satisfaction of Special Tax A Buydown" means a certificate from the CFD Administrator stating that the property described in such certificate has sufficiently met the Special Tax A Buydown Requirement for such property as calculated under this Section D. "Letter of Compliance" means a letter from the CFD Administrator allowing the issuance of building permits based on the prior submittal of a request for Letter of Compliance by a property owner. "Special Tax A Buydown Requirement" means the total amount of Special Tax A Buydown necessary to be prepaid to permit the issuance of building permits listed in a request for Letter of Compliance, as calculated under this Section D. "Update Property" means an Assessor's Parcel of Undeveloped Property for which a building permit has been issued. For purposes of all calculations in this Section D, Update Property shall be taxed as if it were already Developed Property during the current Fiscal Year. 1. Request for Letter of Compliance The CFD Administrator must submit a Letter of Compliance to the City for a specific Assessor's Parcel or lot prior to the issuance by the City of a building permit for the construction of any residential and/or non-residential development on that Assessor's Parcel or lot. If a Letter of Compliance has not yet been issued, and a property owner wishes to request a building permit for an Assessor's Parcel or lot, the property owner must first request a Letter of Compliance from the CFD D-1-8 4932-3978-2181v13/202091-0001 Docusign Envelope ID: 3EFE5DE9-C71E-480B-80B0-BFC4B657B312 Administrator. The request from the property owner shall contain a list of all building permits currently being requested, the Assessor's Parcels or tract and lot numbers on which the construction is to take place, and the Residential Floor Area (for each residential dwelling unit) or the Acreage (for each non-residential parcel) associated with each building permit. 2. Issuance of Letter of Compliance Upon the receipt of a request for Letter of Compliance, the CFD Administrator shall assign each building permit identified in such request to Land Use Classes 1 through 17 for Zone 1 and Land Use Classes 1 through 13 for Zone 2 as listed in Tables 3 and 4 below, based on the type of use and the Residential Floor Area identified for each such building permit. When using Table 3, if Bonds are secured solely by parcels in the portion of Zone 1 that does not include the Future Annexation Area, the column entitled "Expected Units Without Future Annexation Area" shall be utilized for purposes of this analysis. If Bonds are secured by all of Zone 1, including the Future Annexation Area, the column entitled "Expected Units Including Future Annexation Area" shall be utilized for purposes of this analysis. If the CFD Administrator determines (i) that the number of building permits requested for each Land Use Class, plus those building permits previously issued for each Land Use Class, will not cause the total number of residential units or non-residential Acreage within any such Land Use Class to exceed the number of units or Acreage for such Land Use Class identified in Tables 3 and 4 below, and (ii) that the total number of residential dwelling units anticipated to be constructed pursuant to the current development plan for CFD No. 06-1 will not be less than 989 for Zone 1 and 465 for Zone 2 prior to the annexation of the Future Annexation Area and not less than 1,075 for Zone 1 and 465 for Zone 2 after the annexation of the Future Annexation Area, then a Letter of Compliance shall be submitted to the City by the CFD Administrator approving the issuance of the requested building permits. This Letter of Compliance shall be submitted by the CFD Administrator within ten days of the submittal of the request for Letter of Compliance by the property owner. However, should (i) the building permits requested, plus those previously issued, cause the total number of residential units or non-residential Acreage within any such Land Use Class to exceed the number of units or non-residential Acreage for such Land Use Class identified in Tables 3 and 4 below, or (ii) the CFD Administrator determine that changes in the development plan may cause a decrease in the number of residential dwelling units within CFD No. 06-1 to below 989 dwelling units in Zone 1 or 465 dwelling units in Zone 2 before the annexation of the Future Annexation Area or below 1,075 dwelling units in Zone 1 or 465 dwelling units in Zone 2 after the annexation of the Future Annexation Area, then a letter of Compliance will not be issued and the CFD Administrator will be directed to determine if a Special Tax A Buydown shall be required.

Calculation of Special Tax A Buydown If a Special Tax A Buydown calculation is required as a result of item 2, above, the CFD Administrator shall review the current development plan for CFD No. 06-1 in consultation with the current property owners for all remaining Undeveloped Property in CFD No. 06-1, and shall prepare an updated version of Tables 3 and 4 identifying the revised number of units or non-residential Acreage anticipated within each Land Use Class. The CFD Administrator shall not be responsible for any delays in preparing the updated Tables 3 and 4 that result from a refusal on the part of one or more current property owners of Undeveloped Property to provide information on their future development. The CFD Administrator shall then review the updated Tables 3 and 4 and determine the Special Tax A Buydown Requirement, if any, to be applied to the property identified in the request for Letter of Compliance to assure the CFD's ability to collect Special Taxes equal to 110% debt service coverage on the Outstanding Bonds, plus the cost of annual CFD administration. The calculations shall be undertaken by the CFD Administrator as follows: Step 1. Compute the sum of the Maximum Special Tax A to be levied on all Developed Property and Update Property within CFD No. 06-1, plus the sum of the Maximum Special Tax A to be levied on all future development as identified in the current development plan as determined by the CFD Administrator in consultation with the property owner.

Determine the amount of Special Tax A required to provide 110% debt service coverage on the Outstanding Bonds, plus any other costs associated with the Special Tax Requirement for Facilities. Step 3. If the total sum computed pursuant to step 1 is greater than or equal to the amount computed pursuant to step 2, then no Special Tax A Buydown will be required and a Letter of Compliance shall immediately be issued by the CFD Administrator for all of the building permits currently being requested. If the total sum computed pursuant to step 1 is less than the amount computed pursuant to step 2, then continue to step 4. Step 4. Determine the Maximum Special Tax A shortfall by subtracting the total sum computed pursuant to step 1 from the amount computed pursuant to step 2. Divide this Maximum Special Tax A shortfall by the amount computed pursuant to step 2. Step 5. The Special Tax A Buydown Requirement shall be calculated using the prepayment formula described in Section 1. 1, with the following exceptions: (i) skip Paragraphs 1, 2 and 3, and begin with Paragraph 4; (ii) the Bond Redemption Amount in Paragraph 4 of the prepayment formula described in Section I.1 shall equal the product of the quotient computed pursuant to step 4 above times the Previously Issued Bonds, as defined in Section 1. 1; (iii) the Capitalized Interest Credit described in Paragraph 12 of Section I.1 shall be $0; and (iv) any payments of the Special Tax A Buydown (less Administrative Fees and Expenses) shall be disbursed pursuant to the Indenture. The Special Tax A Buydown computed under step 5 shall be billed directly to the property owner of each Assessor's Parcel identified in the request for Letter of Compliance and shall be due within 30 days of the billing date. If the Special Tax A Buydown is not paid within 45 days of the billing date, a delinquent penalty of 10 percent shall be added to the Special Tax A Buydown. Upon receipt of the Special Tax A Buydown payment, the CFD Administrator shall issue a Letter of Compliance and a Certificate of Satisfaction of Special Tax A Buydown for the subject property. 4. Costs and Expenses Related to Implementation of Special Tax A Buydown The property owner of each Assessor's Parcel identified in the request for Letter of Compliance shall pay all costs of the CFD Administrator or other consultants required to review the application for building permits, calculate the Special Tax A Buydown, issue Letters of Compliance or any other actions required under Section D. Such payments shall be due 30 days after receipt of invoice by such property owner. A deposit may be required by the CFD Administrator prior to undertaking work related to the Special Tax A Buydown. E. METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF THE SPECIAL TAX 1. Special Tax A Commencing with Fiscal Year 2006-2007 and for each following Fiscal Year, the Council shall determine the Special Tax Requirement for Facilities and shall levy the Special Tax A until the total Special Tax A levy equals the Special Tax Requirement for Facilities. The Special Tax A shall be levied each Fiscal Year as follows: First: The Special Tax A shall be levied Proportionately on each Assessor's Parcel of Developed Property at up to 100% of the applicable Maximum Special Tax A; D-1-12 4932-3978-2181v13/202091-0001 Docusign Envelope ID: 3EFE5DE9-C71E-480B-80B0-BFC4B657B312 F. Second: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement for Facilities after the first step has been completed, the Special Tax A shall be levied Proportionately on each Assessor's Parcel of Undeveloped Property at up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax A for Undeveloped Property; Third: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement for Facilities after the first two steps have been completed, then the Special Tax A shall be levied Proportionately on each Assessor's Parcel of Taxable Property Owner Association Property at up to the Maximum Special Tax A for Taxable Property Owner Association Property; Fourth: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement for Facilities after the first three steps have been completed, then the Special Tax A shall be levied Proportionately on each Assessor's Parcel of Taxable Public Property at up to the Maximum Special Tax A for Taxable Public Property. 2. Special Tax B Commencing with Fiscal Year 2006-2007 and for each following Fiscal Year, the Council shall levy the Special Tax B until the total Special Tax B levy equals the Special Tax Requirement for Services. The Special Tax B shall be levied each Fiscal Year as follows: First: The Special Tax B shall be levied Proportionately on each Assessor's Parcel of Developed Property at up to 100% of the applicable Maximum Special Tax B; Second: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement for Services after the first step has been completed, the Special Tax B shall be levied Proportionately on each Assessor's Parcel of Undeveloped Property at up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax B for Undeveloped Property. 1. Special Tax A Prior to Annexation of Future Annexation Area No Special Tax A shall be levied on up to 0.13 Acres of Public Property and up to 31.01 Acres of Property Owner Association Property in Zone 1, and on up to 0.16 Acres of Public Property and up to 30.31 Acres of Property Owner Association Property in Zone 2. Tax-exempt status will be assigned by the CFD Administrator in the chronological order in which property becomes Public Property and Property Owner Association Property within each Zone. However, should an Assessor's Parcel no longer be classified as Public Property or Property Owner Association Property, its tax-exempt status will be revoked. Public Property or Property Owner Association Property that is not exempt from the Special Tax A under this section shall be subject to the levy of the Special Tax A and shall be taxed Proportionately as part of the third and fourth steps in Section E.1. 2. Special Tax AAfter Annexation of Future Annexation Area No Special Tax A shall be levied on up to 0.20 Acres of Public Property and up to 32.80 Acres of Property Owner Association Property in Zone 1, and on up to 0.16 Acres of Public Property and up to 30.31 Acres of Property Owner Association Property in Zone 2. Tax-exempt status will be assigned by the CFD Administrator in the chronological order in which property becomes Public Property and Property Owner Association Property within each Zone. However, should an Assessor's Parcel no D-1-13 4932-3978-2181v13/202091-0001 Docusign Envelope ID: 3EFE5DE9-C71E-480B-80B0-BFC4B657B312 longer be classified as Public Property or Property Owner Association Property, its tax-exempt status will be revoked. Public Property or Property Owner Association Property that is not exempt from the Special Tax A under this section shall be subject to the levy of the Special Tax A and shall be taxed Proportionately as part of the third and fourth steps in Section E.1. 3. Special Tax B No Special Tax B shall be levied on Public Property or Property Owner Association Property. G. APPEALS AND INTERPRETATIONS Any landowner or resident who feels that the amount of the Special Tax levied on such landowner's or resident's Assessor's Parcel is in error may submit a written appeal to CFD No. 06-1. The CFD Administrator shall review the appeal and if the CFD Administrator concurs, the amount of the Special Tax levied shall be appropriately modified. The Council may interpret this Rate and Method of Apportionment of Special Tax for purposes of clarifying any ambiguity and make determinations relative to the amount of Administrative Expenses and any landowner or resident appeals. Any decision of the Council shall be final and binding as to all persons. H. MANNER OF COLLECTION Special Tax A and Special Tax B will be collected in the same manner as ordinary ad valorem property taxes or in such other manner as the Council shall determine, including direct billing of the affected property owners. The Special Tax A Buydown shall be directly billed to the property owner at the time such Special Tax is being levied. I. PREPAYMENT OF SPECIAL TAX A The following additional definitions apply to this Section I: "Buildout" means, for CFD No. 06-1, that all expected building permits have been issued. "CFD Public Facilities" means either $42,949,043 in 2006 dollars, which shall increase by the Construction Inflation Index on July 1, 2007, and on each July 1 thereafter, or such lower number as (i) shall be determined by the CFD Administrator as sufficient to provide the public facilities to be provided by CFD No. 06-1 under the authorized bonding program for CFD No. 06-1, or (ii) shall be determined by the City Council concurrently with a covenant that it will not issue any more CFD No. 06-1 Bonds (except refunding bonds) to be supported by the Special Tax for Facilities levy under this Rate and Method of Apportionment as described in Section D above. "Construction Inflation Index" means the annual percentage change in the Engineering News Record Building Cost Index for the City of Los Angeles, measured as of the calendar year which ends in the previous Fiscal Year. In the event this index ceases to be published, the Construction Inflation Index shall be another index as determined by the CFD Administrator that is reasonably comparable to the Engineering News Record Building Cost Index for the City of Los Angeles. "Future Facilities Costs" means the CFD Public Facilities minus (i) public facility costs previously paid from the Improvement Fund, (ii) moneys currently on deposit in the Improvement Fund, and D-1-14 4932-3978-2181v13/202091-0001 Docusign Envelope ID: 3EFE5DE9-C71E-480B-80B0-BFC4B657B312 (iii) moneys currently on deposit in an escrow fund that are expected to be available to finance the cost of CFD Public Facilities. "Improvement Fund" means an account specifically identified in the Indenture to hold funds which are currently available for expenditure to acquire or construct CFD Public Facilities eligible under the Act. "Previously Issued Bonds" means, for any Fiscal Year, all Outstanding Bonds that are deemed to be outstanding under the Indenture after the first interest and/or principal payment date following the current Fiscal Year. 1. Prepayment in Full Only an Assessor's Parcel of Developed Property, or Taxable Property Owner Association Property, Taxable Public Property or Undeveloped Property for which a building permit has been issued, may be prepaid. The obligation of the Assessor's Parcel to pay the Special Tax for Facilities may be permanently satisfied as described herein, provided that a prepayment may be made with respect to a particular Assessor's Parcel only if there are no delinquent Special Taxes with respect to such Assessor's Parcel at the time of prepayment. An owner of an Assessor's Parcel intending to prepay the Special Tax for Facilities obligation shall provide the CFD Administrator with written notice of intent to prepay. Within 30 days of receipt of such written notice, the CFD Administrator shall notify such owner of the prepayment amount for such Assessor's Parcel. The CFD Administrator may charge a reasonable fee for providing this service. Prepayment must be made not less than 45 days prior to the next occurring date that notice of redemption of CFD No. 06-1 Bonds from the proceeds of such prepayment may be given by the Trustee pursuant to the Indenture. The Special Tax B may not be prepaid. The Special Tax A Prepayment Amount (defined below) shall be calculated as summarized below (capitalized terms as defined below): Bond Redemption Amount plus Redemption Premium plus Future Facilities Amount plus Defeasance Amount plus Administrative Fees and Expenses less Reserve Fund Credit less Capitalized Interest Credit Total: equals Special Tax A Prepayment Amount As of the proposed date of prepayment, the Special Tax A Prepayment Amount shall be calculated as follows: Paragraph No.: 1. Confirm that no Special Tax delinquencies apply to such Assessor's Parcel. 2. For Assessor's Parcels of Developed Property, Taxable Property Owner Association Property, or Taxable Public Property for which a building permit has been issued, compute the Maximum Special Tax A for the current Fiscal Year applicable for the Assessor's Parcel to be prepaid. For Assessor's Parcels of Undeveloped Property for which a building permit has been issued, compute the Maximum Special Tax A for the current Fiscal Year applicable for D-1-15 4932-3978-2181v13/202091-0001 Docusign Envelope ID: 3EFE5DE9-C71E-480B-80B0-BFC4B657B312 that Assessor's Parcel as though it was already designated as Developed Property, based upon the building permit which has already been issued for that Assessor's Parcel. 3. Divide the Maximum Special Tax A computed pursuant to paragraph 2 by the total estimated Maximum Special Tax A for the entire CFD No. 06-1 based on the Developed Property Special Tax A which could be levied in the current Fiscal Year on all expected development through Buildout of CFD No. 06-1, excluding any Assessor's Parcels which have been prepaid. 4. Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to paragraph 3 by the Previously Issued Bonds to compute the amount of Previously Issued Bonds to be retired and prepaid (the "Bond Redemption Amount"). Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount computed pursuant to paragraph 4 by the applicable redemption premium (e.g., the redemption price-100%), if any, on the Previously Issued Bonds to be redeemed (the "Redemption Premium"). 6. Compute the current Future Facilities Costs. Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to paragraph 3 by the amount determined pursuant to paragraph 6 to compute the amount of Future Facilities Costs to be prepaid (the "Future Facilities Amount"). Compute the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Redemption Amount from the first bond interest and/or principal payment date following the current Fiscal Year until the earliest redemption date for the Previously Issued Bonds. Determine the Special Tax A levied on the Assessor's Parcel in the current Fiscal Year which has not yet been paid. 10. Compute the minimum amount the CFD Administrator reasonably expects to derive from the reinvestment of the Special Tax A Prepayment Amount less the Future Facilities Amount and the Administrative Fees and Expenses (defined below) from the date of prepayment until the redemption date for the Previously Issued Bonds to be redeemed with the prepayment. 11. Add the amounts computed pursuant to paragraphs 8 and 9 and subtract the amount computed pursuant to paragraph 10 (the "Defeasance Amount"). 12. The administrative fees and expenses of CFD No.06-1 are as calculated by the CFD Administrator and include the costs of computation of the prepayment, the costs to invest the prepayment proceeds, the costs of redeeming CFD No. 06-1 Bonds, and the costs of recording any notices to evidence the prepayment and the redemption (the "Administrative Fees and Expenses"). 13. If reserve funds for the Previously Issued Bonds, if any, are at or above 100% of the reserve requirement (as defined in the Indenture) on the prepayment date, a reserve fund credit shall be calculated as a reduction in the applicable reserve fund for the Previously Issued Bonds to be redeemed pursuant to the prepayment (the "Reserve Fund Credit"). No Reserve Fund Credit shall be granted if reserve funds are below 100% of the reserve requirement. 14. If any capitalized interest for the Previously Issued Bonds will not have been expended as of the date immediately following the first interest and/or principal payment following the current Fiscal Year, a capitalized interest credit shall be calculated by multiplying the quotient D-1-16 4932-3978-2181v13/202091-0001 Docusign Envelope ID: 3EFE5DE9-C71E-480B-80B0-BFC4B657B312 computed pursuant to paragraph 3 by the expected balance in the capitalized interest fund or account under the Indenture after such first interest and/or principal payment (the "Capitalized Interest Credit"). 15. The Special Tax A prepayment is equal to the sum of the amounts computed pursuant to paragraphs 4, 5, 7, 11 and 12, less the amounts computed pursuant to paragraphs 13 and 14 (the "Special Tax A Prepayment Amount"). From the Special Tax for Facilities Prepayment Amount, the amounts computed pursuant to paragraphs 4, 5, 11, 13 and 14 shall be deposited into the appropriate fund as established under the Indenture and be used to retire CFD No. 06-1 Bonds or make debt service payments. The amount computed pursuant to paragraph 7 shall be deposited into the Improvement Fund. The amount computed pursuant to paragraph 12 shall be retained by CFD No. 06-1. The Special Tax for Facilities Prepayment Amount may be insufficient to redeem a full $5,000 increment of CFD No. 06-1 Bonds. In such cases, the increment above $5,000 or integral multiple thereof will be retained in the appropriate fund established under the Indenture to be used with the next prepayment of CFD No. 06-1 Bonds or to make debt service payments. As a result of the payment of the current Fiscal Year's Special Tax A levy as determined under paragraph 9 (above), the CFD Administrator shall remove the current Fiscal Year's Special Tax A levy for such Assessor's Parcel from the County tax rolls. With respect to any Assessor's Parcel that is prepaid, the City Council shall cause a suitable notice to be recorded in compliance with the Act, to indicate the prepayment of the Special Tax A and the release of the Special Tax A lien on such Assessor's Parcel, and the obligation of such Assessor's Parcel to pay the Special Tax A shall cease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Special Tax A prepayment shall be allowed unless, at the time of such proposed prepayment, the amount of Maximum Special Tax A that may be levied on Taxable Property within CFD No. 06-1 (after excluding Public Property and Property Owner Association Property in Zone 1 and Zone 2 as set forth in Section F) both prior to and after the proposed prepayment is at least 1.1 times the maximum annual debt service on all Previously Issued Bonds, plus the cost of annual CFD administration. 2.

However, should an Assessor's Parcel no longer be classified as Public Property or Property Owner Association Property, its tax-exempt status will be revoked as determined by the CFD Administrator. Property Owner Association Property or Public Property that is not exempt from the Special Tax A under this section shall be subject to the levy of the Special Tax A and shall be taxed Proportionately as part of the fifth and sixth steps in Section D.1 as determined by the CFD Administrator. 2. Special Tax B No Special Tax B shall be levied on Public Property or Property Owner Association Property. F. APPEALS AND INTERPRETATIONS Any landowner or resident who feels that the amount of the Special Tax levied on such landowner's or resident's Assessor's Parcel is in error may submit a written appeal to CFD No. 2014-1. The CFD Administrator shall review the appeal and if the CFD Administrator concurs and the Special Tax is to be modified in favor of the Property owner or resident of the Assessor's Parcel, no cash refund shall be made for prior years' Special Tax levies, but an adjustment shall be made to the next Special Tax levy(ies). The Council may interpret this Rate and Method of Apportionment of Special Tax for purposes of clarifying any ambiguity and make determinations relative to the amount of Administrative Expenses.

MANNER OF COLLECTION Special Tax A and Special Tax B will be collected in the same manner as ordinary ad valorem property taxes or in such other manner as the Council shall determine, including direct billing of the affected property owners. H. PREPAYMENT OF SPECIAL TAX A The following additional definitions apply to this Section H: "Build -out" means, for CFD No. 2014-1, that all expected Building Permits for the Assessors Parcels in CFD No. 2014-1 have been issued. "CFD Public Facilities" means either $26,000,000 in 2014 dollars, which shall increase by the Construction Inflation Index on July 1, 2015, and on each July 1 thereafter, or such lower number as (i) shall be determined by the CFD Administrator as sufficient to provide the Authorized Facilities, or (ii) shall be determined by the City Council concurrently with a covenant that it will not issue any more Bonds (except refunding bonds) to be supported by the Special Tax A levy under this Rate and Method of Apportionment as described in Section D.1 above. "Construction Inflation Index" means the annual percentage change in the Engineering News Record Building Cost Index for the City of Los Angeles, measured as of the calendar year which ends in the previous Fiscal Year. In the event this index ceases to be published, the Construction Inflation Index shall be another index as determined by the CFD Administrator that is reasonably comparable to the Engineering News Record Building Cost Index for the City of Los Angeles. "Future Facilities Costs" means the CFD Public Facilities minus (i) public facility costs previously paid from the Improvement Fund, (ii) moneys currently on deposit in the Improvement Fund, and (iii) moneys currently on deposit in an escrow fund that are expected to be available to finance the cost of CFD Public Facilities. "Improvement Fund" means an account specifically identified in the Indenture to hold funds which are currently available for expenditure to acquire or construct Authorized Facilities. "Previously Issued Bonds" means, for any Fiscal Year, all Outstanding Bonds that are deemed to be outstanding under the Indenture after the first interest and/or principal payment date following the current Fiscal Year. 1. Prepayment in Full Only an Assessor's Parcel of Developed Property, or Taxable Property Owner Association Property, Taxable Public Property or Approved Property for which a building permit has been issued, may prepay Special Tax A. The obligation of the Assessor's Parcel to pay the Special Tax A may be permanently satisfied as described herein, provided that a prepayment may be made with respect to a particular Assessor's Parcel only if there are no delinquent Special Taxes with respect to such Assessor's Parcel at the time of prepayment. An owner of an Assessor's Parcel intending to prepay the Special Tax A obligation shall provide the CFD Administrator with written notice of intent to prepay. Within 30 days of receipt of such written notice, the CFD Administrator shall notify such owner of the prepayment amount for such Assessor's Parcel. The CFD Administrator may charge the owner prepaying Special Tax A a reasonable fee for providing this service. Prepayment must be made not less than 45 days prior to the next occurring date that notice of redemption of CFD No. 2014-1 Bonds from the proceeds of such prepayment may be given by the Trustee pursuant to the Indenture. D-2-10 4932-3978-2181v13/202091-0001 Docusign Envelope ID: 3EFE5DE9-C71E-480B-80B0-BFC4B657B312 The Special Tax B may not be prepaid. The Special Tax A Prepayment Amount (defined below) shall be calculated as summarized below (capitalized terms as defined below): Bond Redemption Amount plus Redemption Premium plus Future Facilities Amount plus Defeasance Amount plus Administrative Fees and Expenses less Reserve Fund Credit less Capitalized Interest Credit Total: equals Special Tax A Prepayment Amount As of the proposed date of prepayment, the Special Tax A Prepayment Amount shall be calculated as follows: Paragraph No.: Confirm that no Special Tax delinquencies apply to such Assessor's Parcel. 2. For Assessor's Parcels of Developed Property, Taxable Property Owner Association Property, or Taxable Public Property for which a Building Permit has been issued, compute the Maximum Special Tax A for the current Fiscal Year applicable for the Assessor's Parcel to be prepaid. For Assessor's Parcels of Approved Property for which a building permit has been issued, compute the Maximum Special Tax A for the current Fiscal Year applicable for that Assessor's Parcel as though it was already designated as Developed Property, based upon the building permit which has already been issued for that Assessor's Parcel. 3. Divide the Maximum Special Tax A computed pursuant to paragraph 2 by the total estimated Maximum Special Tax A for the entire CFD No. 2014-1 based on the Developed Property Special Tax A which could be levied in the current Fiscal Year on all expected development through Build -out of CFD No. 2014-1, excluding any Assessor's Parcels which have been prepaid. 4. Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to paragraph 3 by the Previously Issued Bonds to compute the amount of Previously Issued Bonds to be retired and prepaid (the "Bond Redemption Amount"). Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount computed pursuant to paragraph 4 by the applicable redemption premium (e.g., the redemption price-100%), if any, on the Previously Issued Bonds to be redeemed (the "Redemption Premium"). Compute the current Future Facilities Costs. Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to paragraph 3 by the amount determined pursuant to paragraph 6 to compute the amount of Future Facilities Costs to be prepaid (the "Future Facilities Amount"). Compute the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Redemption Amount from the first bond interest and/or principal payment date following the current Fiscal Year until the earliest redemption date for the Previously Issued Bonds.

Determine any Special Tax A levied on the Assessor's Parcel in the current Fiscal Year which has not yet been paid. 10. Compute the minimum amount the CFD Administrator reasonably expects to derive from the reinvestment of the Special Tax A Prepayment Amount less the Future Facilities Amount and the Administrative Fees and Expenses (defined below) from the date of prepayment until the redemption date for the Previously Issued Bonds to be redeemed with the prepayment. 11. Add the amounts computed pursuant to paragraphs 8 and 9 and subtract the amount computed pursuant to paragraph 10 (the "Defeasance Amount"). 12. The administrative fees and expenses of CFD No. 2014-1 are as calculated by the CFD Administrator and include the costs of computation of the prepayment, the costs to invest the prepayment proceeds, the costs of redeeming CFD No.2014-1 Bonds, and the costs of recording any notices to evidence the prepayment and the redemption (the "Administrative Fees and Expenses"). 13. If reserve funds for the Previously Issued Bonds, if any, are at or above 100% of the reserve requirement (as defined in the Indenture) on the prepayment date, a reserve fund credit shall be calculated as a reduction in the applicable reserve fund for the Previously Issued Bonds to be redeemed pursuant to the prepayment (the "Reserve Fund Credit"). No Reserve Fund Credit shall be granted if reserve funds are below 100% of the reserve requirement. 14. If any capitalized interest for the Previously Issued Bonds will not have been expended as of the date immediately following the first interest and/or principal payment following the current Fiscal Year, a capitalized interest credit shall be calculated by multiplying the quotient computed pursuant to paragraph 3 by the expected balance in the capitalized interest fund or account under the Indenture after such first interest and/or principal payment (the "Capitalized Interest Credit"). 15. The Special Tax A prepayment is equal to the sum of the amounts computed pursuant to paragraphs 4, 5, 7, 11 and 12, less the amounts computed pursuant to paragraphs 13 and 14 (the "Special Tax A Prepayment Amount"). From the Special Tax for Facilities Prepayment Amount, the amounts computed pursuant to paragraphs 4, 5, 11, 13 and 14 shall be deposited into the appropriate fund as established under the Indenture and be used to retire Previously Issued Bonds or make debt service payments. The amount computed pursuant to paragraph 7 shall be deposited into the Improvement Fund. The amount computed pursuant to paragraph 12 shall be retained by the CFD Administrator. The Special Tax for Facilities Prepayment Amount may be insufficient to redeem a full $5,000 increment of Previously Issued Bonds. In such cases, the increment above $5,000 or integral multiple thereof will be retained in the appropriate fund established under the Indenture to be used with the next prepayment of Previously Issued Bonds or to make debt service payments. As a result of the payment of the current Fiscal Year's Special Tax A levy as determined under paragraph 9 (above), the CFD Administrator shall remove the current Fiscal Year's Special Tax A levy for such Assessor's Parcel from the County tax rolls. With respect to any Assessor's Parcel that is prepaid, the City Council shall cause a suitable notice to be recorded in compliance with the Act, to indicate the prepayment of the Special Tax A and the release of the Special Tax A lien on such Assessor's Parcel, and the obligation of such Assessor's Parcel to pay the Special Tax A shall cease.

Prepayment in Part The Special Tax A on an Assessor's Parcel of Developed Property or an Assessor's Parcel of Taxable Property Owner Association Property, Taxable Public Property, or Undeveloped Property for which a building permit has been issued may be partially prepaid. The amount of the prepayment shall be calculated as in Section 1.1; except that a partial prepayment shall be calculated according to the following formula: PP = ((PE -A) X F) + A These terms have the following meaning: PP = the partial prepayment PE = the Special Tax A Prepayment Amount calculated according to Section 1.1 F = the percentage, expressed as a decimal, by which the owner of the Assessor's Parcel is partially prepaying the Special Tax A. A = Administrative Fees and Expenses The owner of any Assessor's Parcel who desires such prepayment shall notify the CFD Administrator of such owner's intent to partially prepay the Special Tax A and the percentage by which the Special Tax A shall be prepaid. The CFD Administrator shall provide the owner with a statement of the amount required for the partial prepayment of the Special Tax A for an Assessor's Parcel within 30 days of the request and may charge a reasonable fee for providing this service. With respect to any Assessor's Parcel that is partially prepaid, the Council shall (i) distribute the funds remitted to it according to Section 1.1, and (ii) indicate in the records of CFD No. 2014-1 that there has been a partial prepayment of the Special Tax A and that a portion of the Special Tax A with respect to such Assessor's Parcel, equal to the outstanding percentage (1.00 - F) of the remaining Maximum Special Tax A, shall continue to be levied on such Assessor's Parcel pursuant to Section D. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Special Tax A prepayment shall be allowed unless, at the time of such proposed prepayment, the amount of Maximum Special Tax A that may be levied on Taxable Property within CFD No. 2014-1 (after excluding Public Property and Property Owner Association Property as set forth in Section E)both prior to and after the proposed prepayment is at least 1.1 times the maximum annual debt service on all Previously Issued Bonds, plus the cost of annual CFD administration. I. TERM OF SPECIAL TAX The Special Tax A shall be levied for a period not to exceed forty years commencing with Fiscal Year 2014- 2015. The Special Tax B shall be levied as long as necessary to meet the Special Tax B Requirement for Services.

In rendering this opinion, we have relied upon certain representations and certifications of fact made by the Authority, the Community Facilities Districts, the initial purchaser of the Bonds and others and opinions of counsel to the Authority and the Community Facilities Districts. We have not undertaken to verify through independent investigation the accuracy of the representations and certifications relied upon by us. The Bonds have been issued pursuant to the Marks Roos Local Bond Pooling Act of 1985, as amended (Article 4 of Chapter 5 of Division 7 of Title I of the California Government Code) (the "Act"), that certain Indenture of Trust dated as of [June] 1, 2025 (the "Indenture"), by and between the Authority and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee, and an authorizing resolution adopted by the Board of Directors of the Authority (the "Board") on [May 20], 2025 (the "Resolution"). Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Indenture. We have assumed the genuineness of all documents and signatures presented to us, the authenticity of documents submitted as originals and the conformity to originals of documents submitted as copies. We have not undertaken to verify independently, and have assumed, the accuracy of the factual matters represented, warranted or certified in the documents, and of the legal conclusions contained in the opinions referred to in the preceding paragraphs of this opinion. Furthermore, we have assumed compliance with all covenants and agreements contained in the Bonds and the Indenture. We call attention to the fact that the rights and obligations under the Bonds and the Indenture may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium and other laws relating to or affecting creditors' rights, by the application of equitable principles and the exercise of judicial discretion in appropriate cases and by the limitations on legal remedies against public agencies in the State of California. Based upon our examination of the foregoing, and in reliance thereon and on all matters of fact as we deem relevant under the circumstances, and upon consideration of applicable laws, we are of the opinion that: (1) The Bonds have been duly and validly authorized by the Authority and are legal, valid and binding limited obligations of the Authority, enforceable in accordance with their terms and the terms of the Indenture. E-1 4932-3978-2181v13/202091-0001 Docusign Envelope ID: 3EFE5DE9-C71E-480B-80B0-BFC4B657B312 (2) The Indenture has been duly executed and delivered by the Authority. The Indenture creates a valid pledge of the Revenues to secure the Bonds and the amounts on deposit in certain funds and accounts established under the Indenture to secure the Bonds, as and to the extent provided in the Indenture. The Indenture constitutes the valid and binding agreement of the Authority and is enforceable in accordance with its terms. (3) Under existing statutes, regulations, rulings and judicial decisions, and assuming the accuracy of certain representations and compliance with certain covenants and requirements described herein, interest (and original issue discount) on the Bonds is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes and is not an item of tax preference for purposes of calculating the federal alternative minimum tax imposed on individuals; however, it should be noted that with respect to applicable corporations as defined in Section 59(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), interest (and original issue discount) with respect to the Bonds might be taken into account in determining adjusted financial statement income for the purposes of computing the alternative minimum tax imposed on such corporations. (4) Interest (and original issue discount) on the Bonds is exempt from State of California personal income tax. (5) The difference between the issue price of a Bond (the first price at which a substantial amount of the Bonds of a maturity is to be sold to the public) and the stated redemption price at maturity with respect to such Bonds (to the extent the redemption price at maturity is greater than the issue price) constitutes original issue discount. Original issue discount accrues under a constant yield method, and original issue discount will accrue to a Bond owner before receipt of cash attributable to such excludable income. The amount of original issue discount deemed received by a Bond owner will increase the Bond owner's basis in the applicable Bond. (6) The amount by which a Bond owner's original basis for determining loss on sale or exchange in the applicable Bond (generally, the purchase price) exceeds the amount payable on maturity (or on an earlier call date) constitutes amortizable Bond premium, which must be amortized under Section 171 of the Code; such amortizable Bond premium reduces the Bond owner's basis in the applicable Bond (and the amount of tax-exempt interest received), and is not deductible for federal income tax purposes. The basis reduction as a result of the amortization of Bond premium may result in a Bond owner realizing a taxable gain when a Bond is sold by the owner for an amount equal to or less (under certain circumstances) than the original cost of the Bond to the owner. Purchasers of the Bonds should consult their own tax advisors as to the treatment, computation and collateral consequences of amortizable Bond premium. The opinions expressed herein as to the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of interest (and original issue discount) on the Bonds are based upon certain representations of fact and certifications made by the Authority, the City and the Community Facilities Districts and are subject to the condition that the Authority, the City and the Community Facilities Districts comply with all requirements of the Code that must be satisfied subsequent to the issuance of the Bonds to assure that such interest (and original issue discount) will not become includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes. Failure to comply with such requirements of the Code might cause interest (and original issue discount) on the Bonds to be included in gross income for federal income tax purposes retroactive to the date of issuance of the Bonds. The Authority, the City and the Community Facilities Districts each has covenanted to comply with all such requirements. Except as set forth in paragraphs (3) through (6) above, we express no opinion as to any tax consequences related to the Bonds. Certain requirements and procedures contained or referred to in the Indenture, the Tax Certificate and the Local Obligation Bond Indentures may be changed, and certain actions may be taken, under the circumstances and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in such documents, upon the advice or with the E-2 4932-3978-2181v13/202091-0001 Docusign Envelope ID: 3EFE5DE9-C71E-480B-80B0-BFC4B657B312 approving opinion of counsel nationally recognized in the area of tax-exempt obligations. We express no opinion herein as to the effect on the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of interest (and original issue discount) on any Bond if any such change occurs or action is taken or omitted upon the advice or approval of counsel other than Stradling Yocca Carlson & Rauth LLP. It is possible that subsequent to the issuance of the Bonds there might be federal, state, or local statutory changes (or judicial or regulatory interpretations of federal, state, or local law) that affect the federal, state, or local tax treatment of the Bonds or the market value of the Bonds. No assurance can be given that subsequent to the issuance of the Bonds such changes or interpretations will not occur. Our opinion is limited to matters governed by the laws of the State of California and federal income tax law. We assume no responsibility with respect to the applicability or the effect of the laws of any other jurisdiction. The opinions expressed herein are based upon our analysis and interpretation of existing laws, regulations, rulings and judicial decisions and cover certain matters not directly addressed by such authorities. By delivering this opinion, we are not expressing any opinion with respect to any indemnification, contribution, liquidated damages, penalty (including any remedy deemed to constitute a penalty), right of set- off, arbitration, judicial reference, choice of law, choice of forum, choice of venue, non -exclusivity of remedies, waiver or severability provisions contained in the Bonds or the Indenture, nor are we expressing any opinion with respect to the state or quality of title to or interest in any assets described in or as subject to the lien of the Indenture or the accuracy or sufficiency of the description contained therein of, or the remedies available to enforce liens on any assets thereunder. The opinions expressed herein may be affected by actions taken (or not taken) or events occurring (or not occurring) after the date hereof. Our engagement as Bond Counsel terminates upon the issuance of the Bonds and we have not undertaken to determine, or to inform any person, whether any such actions or events are taken (or not taken) or do occur (or do not occur). We express no opinion herein as to the accuracy, completeness or sufficiency of the Official Statement relating to the Bonds or other offering material relating to the Bonds and expressly disclaim any duty to advise the owners of the Bonds with respect to matters contained in the Official Statement and any other offering material relating to the Bonds.

The Issuer anticipated that the Annual Report will be filed by Dated: [DISSEMINATION AGENT], as Dissemination Agent on behalf of Tustin Financing Authority 4932-3978-2181v13/202091-0001 F-9 Docusign Envelope ID: 3EFE5DE9-C71E-480B-80B0-BFC4B657B312 APPENDIX G DTC AND THE BOOK -ENTRY -ONLY SYSTEM The information in this section concerning DTC and DTC's book -entry only system has been obtained from sources that the Authority believes to be reliable, but the Authority takes no responsibility for the completeness or accuracy thereof. The following description of the procedures and record keeping with respect to beneficial ownership interests in the Bonds, payment of principal, premium, if any, accreted value and interest on the Bonds to DTC Participants or Beneficial Owners, confirmation and transfers of beneficial ownership interests in the Bonds and other related transactions by and between DTC, the DTC Participants and the Beneficial Owners is based solely on information provided by DTC to the Authority which the Authority believes to be reliable, but the Authority and the Underwriters do not and cannot make any independent representations concerning these matters and do not take responsibility for the accuracy or completeness thereof. Neither the DTC, Direct Participants, Indirect Participants nor the Beneficial Owners should rely on the foregoing information with respect to such matters, but should instead confirm the same with DTC or the DTC Participants, as the case may be. The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"), New York, New York, will act as securities depository for the Bonds. The Bonds will be issued as fully -registered securities registered in the name of Cede & Co. (DTC's partnership nominee) or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. One fully -registered Bond will be issued for each annual maturity of the Bonds, each in the aggregate principal amount of such maturity, and will be deposited through the facilities of DTC. DTC, the world's largest securities 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 municipal debt issues, and money market instruments (from over 100 countries) that DTC's participants ("Direct Participants") 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 corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is a wholly -owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation ("DTCC"). DTCC is the holding company for DTC, National Securities Clearing Corporation and Fixed Income Clearing Corporation, all of which are registered clearing agencies. DTCC is owned by the 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.dtcc.com. Such website is not incorporated herein by such reference. Purchases of 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 (`Beneficial Owner") is in turn to be recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants' records. Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase. 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 G-1 4932-3978-2181v13/202091-0001 Docusign Envelope ID: 3EFE5DE9-C71E-480B-80B0-BFC4B657B312 Owners will not receive Bonds representing their ownership interests in 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 representative of DTC. The deposit of Bonds with DTC and their registration in the name 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 credited, 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 Bonds may wish to take certain steps to augment the transmission to them of notices of significant events with respect to the Bonds, such as redemptions, tenders, defaults, and proposed amendments to the Bond documents. For example, Beneficial Owners of 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 such maturity to be redeemed. Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (nor any other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to 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 Community Facilities Districts 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 Bonds are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy). Redemption proceeds, distributions, and dividend payments 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 Participants' accounts upon DTC's receipt of funds and corresponding detail information from the Community Facilities Districts or the Trustee, on payable date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC's records. Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in "street name," and will be the responsibility of such Participant and not of DTC, the Trustee, or the District, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of redemption proceeds, distributions, and dividend payments to Cede & Co. (or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC) is the responsibility of the Community Facilities Districts or the Trustee, disbursement of such payments to Direct Participants will be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners will be the responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants. A Bond Owner shall give notice to elect to have its Bonds purchased or tendered, through its Participant, to the Trustee, and shall effect delivery of such Bonds by causing the Direct Participant to transfer the Participant's interest in the Bonds, on DTC's records, to the Trustee. The requirement for physical delivery of Bonds in connection with an optional tender or a mandatory purchase will be deemed satisfied when the ownership rights in the Bonds are transferred by Direct Participants on DTC's records and followed by a book -entry credit of tendered Bonds to the Trustee's DTC account.

Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor depository is not obtained, physical certificates are required to be printed and delivered. The Community Facilities Districts may decide to discontinue use of the system of book -entry only transfers through DTC (or a successor securities depository). In that event, Bonds will be printed and delivered to DTC.

Neither failure to receive any such notice so sent nor any defect therein shall affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of such Bonds or the cessation of the accrual of interest thereon. Such notice shall state the date of the notice, the redemption date, the redemption place and the redemption price and shall designate the CUSIP numbers, Bond numbers and the maturity or maturities (in the event of redemption of all of the Bonds of such maturity or maturities in whole) of the Bonds to be redeemed, and shall require that such Bonds be then surrendered at the Trust Office of the Trustee for redemption at the redemption price, giving notice also that further interest on such Bonds will not accrue after the redemption date. In addition to the foregoing notice, further notice shall be sent by the Trustee in said form to any Bondowner whose Bond has been called for redemption but who has failed to submit his Bond for payment by the date which is sixty days after the redemption date, but no defect in said further notice nor any failure to give or receive all or any portion of such further notice shall in any manner defeat the effectiveness of a call for redemption. Unless funds for the optional redemption of any Bonds are irrevocably deposited with the Trustee prior to rendering notice of redemption to the Bondowners, such notice shall state that such redemption is subject to the deposit of funds by the Authority. Any notice of optional redemption shall be cancelled and annulled if for any reason funds will not be or are not available on the date fixed for redemption for the payment in full of the Bonds then called for redemption, and 16 4897-1590-4293v9/20209 1 -0001 Docusign Envelope ID: 3EFE5DEg-C71E-480B-80B0-BFC4B657B312 such cancellation shall not constitute an Event of Default under this Indenture.

For purposes of such selection, all Bonds shall be deemed to be comprised of separate $5,000 authorized denominations, and such separate authorized denominations shall be treated as separate Bonds which may be separately redeemed. (f) Partial Redemption of Bonds. In the event only a portion of any Bond is called for redemption, then upon surrender of such Bond the Authority shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Owner thereof, at the expense of the Authority, a new Bond or Bonds of the same maturity date, of authorized denominations in aggregate principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Bond to be redeemed. (g) Effect of Redemption.

The Trustee may require payment of a reasonable fee for each new Bond issued under this Section and of the expenses which may be incurred by the Authority and the Trustee.

The validity of the authorization and issuance of the Bonds shall not be affected in any way by any proceedings taken by the Authority or the Community Facilities Districts with respect to the application of the proceeds of the Bonds, and the recital contained in the Bonds that the same are issued pursuant to the Bond Law shall be conclusive evidence of their validity and of the regularity of their issuance. ARTICLE IV REVENUES; FLOW OF FUNDS Section 4.1 Pledge of Revenues; Assignment of Rights. Subject to the provisions of Sections 6.3 and 9.3 hereof, the Bonds shall be secured by a first lien on and pledge (which shall be effected in the manner and to the extent hereinafter provided) of all of the Revenues. The Bonds shall be equally secured by a pledge, charge and lien upon the Revenues without priority for any Bond over any other Bond; and the payment of the interest on and principal of the Bonds and any premiums upon the redemption of any Bonds shall be and are secured by an exclusive pledge, charge and lien upon the Revenues. So long as any of the Bonds are Outstanding, the Revenues shall not be used for any purpose except as is expressly permitted by this Indenture. The Authority hereby transfers in trust, grants a security interest in and assigns to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Owners from time to time of the Bonds, respectively, all of the Revenues and all of the right, title and interest of the Authority in the Local Obligations, subject to the terms of this Indenture. The Trustee shall be entitled to and shall collect and receive all of the Revenues and any Revenues collected or received by the Authority shall be deemed to be held, and to have been collected or received, by the Authority as the agent of the Trustee and shall forthwith be paid by the Authority to the Trustee. The Trustee also shall be entitled to and, subject to the provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee shall take all steps, actions and proceedings reasonably necessary in its judgment to enforce, either jointly with the Authority or separately, all of the rights of the Authority and all of the obligations of the City and the Community Facilities Districts under the Local Obligations.

Such amounts shall be transferred to the Local Obligations Trustee for each Series of Local Obligations then outstanding proportionately based on their respective Proportionate Share. In the event that the Local Obligations have been paid or defeased, then any such amounts shall be paid by the Trustee to the Authority to be used by the Authority for any lawful purpose. 23 4897-1590-4293v9/20209 1 -0001 Docusign Envelope ID: 3EFE5DEg-C71E-480B-80B0-BFC4B657B312 Section 4.2 Receipt, Deposit and Application of Revenues; Revenue Fund. Subject to Section 4.2(a)(iv) below, all Revenues described in clause (a) of the definition thereof in Section 1.1 shall be promptly deposited by the Trustee upon receipt thereof in the Revenue Fund. (a) On each Interest Payment Date, the Trustee shall transfer from the Revenue Fund, and deposit into the following respective accounts for the Bonds, 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: (i) Interest Account. On each Interest Payment Date, the Trustee shall deposit in the Interest Account an amount required to cause the aggregate amount on deposit in the Interest Account to equal the amount of interest becoming due and payable on such Interest Payment Date on all Outstanding Bonds on such date. All moneys in the Interest Account shall be used and withdrawn by the Trustee solely for the purpose of paying interest on the Bonds as it shall become due and payable (including accrued interest on any Bonds redeemed prior to maturity). In the event that the amounts on deposit in the Interest Account on any Interest Payment Date, after any transfers from the Reserve Fund pursuant to Section 4.3 hereof, are insufficient for any reason to pay the aggregate amount of interest then coming due and payable on the Outstanding Bonds, the Trustee shall apply such amounts to the payment of interest on each of the Outstanding Bonds on a pro rata basis. (ii) Principal Account. On each September 1 on which principal of the Bonds shall be payable, the Trustee shall 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, and premium (if any) on, the Bonds coming due and payable on such date, or required to be redeemed on such date pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof, provided, however, that no amount shall be deposited to effect a redemption pursuant to Section 2.2(a) hereof unless the Trustee has first received a certificate of an Independent Accountant or an Independent Financial Consultant certifying that such deposit to effect an optional redemption of the Bonds will not impair the ability of the Authority to make timely payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds, assuming for such purposes that the Community Facilities Districts continue to make timely payments on all Local Obligations not then in default. All moneys in the Principal Account shall be used and withdrawn by the Trustee solely for the purpose of (i) paying the principal of the Bonds at the maturity thereof or (ii) paying the principal of and premium (if any) on any Bonds upon the redemption thereof pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof. (iii) Reserve Fund. On each Interest Payment Date on which the balance in the Reserve Fund is less than the Reserve Requirement, or amounts are due to an insurer under a Reserve Credit Facility, after making deposits required under (i) and (ii) above, the Trustee shall transfer from the Revenue Fund, an amount sufficient to increase the balance in the Reserve Fund to the Reserve Requirement, by depositing the amount necessary to make the various accounts therein equal to, together, the Reserve Requirement, provided the value of the moneys deposited therein, as invested, shall be valued at market value on such transfer date for purposes of making such determination; and provided, further, that the replenishment of the Reserve Accounts shall be made in accordance with Section 4.3 hereof. 24 4897-1590-4293v9/20209 1 -0001 Docusign Envelope ID: 3EFE5DEg-C71E-480B-80B0-BFC4B657B312 (iv) Local Obligations Delinquency Revenues.

(b) If on any Interest Payment Date or date for redemption the amount on deposit in the Revenue Fund is inadequate to make the transfers described in subsection (a) above as a result of a payment default on an issue of Local Obligations, the Trustee shall immediately notify the issuer of such Local Obligations of the amount needed to make the required deposits under subsection (a) above. In the event that following such notice the Trustee receives Local Obligations Delinquency Revenues from the issuer of such Local Obligation to cure such shortfall, the Trustee shall deposit such amounts to the Revenue Fund for application in accordance with subsection (a)(iv). (c) On each Interest Payment Date after making the transfers required under subsections (a) and (b) above, upon receipt of a Request of the Authority to do so, the Trustee shall transfer from the Revenue Fund to the Rebate Fund for deposit in the accounts therein the amounts specified in such Request of the Authority. (d) On September 1 of each year, after making the deposits required under subsections (a), (b) and (c) above, and upon reimbursement to the Bond Insurer for any amounts owed under the Insurance Policy pursuant to Section 10.3 hereof, the Trustee shall transfer all amounts remaining on deposit in the Revenue Fund to the Administrative Expense Fund unless the Trustee has received a Request of the Authority directing it to transfer all or a portion of the said amounts to the Surplus Fund, in which case the Trustee shall make the transfer to the Surplus Fund so specified. Section 4.3 Reserve Fund. (a) There shall be maintained in the Reserve Fund an amount equal to the Reserve Requirement of which $ shall initially be allocated to the CFD No. 06-1 Reserve Account and $ shall initially be allocated to the CFD No. 2014-1 Reserve Account, such amounts being the initial Proportionate Share of the Reserve Requirement for each Reserve Account less amounts attributable to the Reserve Surety Bond, which shall be deposited in the Reserve Fund. In the event that the amount of the Reserve Requirement is changed, the Trustee shall, upon receipt of a Request of the Authority, adjust the Proportionate Share of each Reserve Account to reflect the new Reserve Requirement. The Reserve Requirement may be satisfied in whole or in part by the Reserve Surety Bond and one or more additional Reserve Credit Facilities. Fifty percent (50%) of the Reserve Requirement will initially be satisfied by the Reserve Surety Bond and fifty percent (50%) of the Reserve Requirement will initially be satisfied with the deposit from proceeds of the 2025 Bonds pursuant to Section 3.2(c) hereof. As of any date of calculation, the amount of the 25 4897-1590-4293v9/20209 1 -0001 Docusign Envelope ID: 3EFE5DEg-C71E-480B-80B0-BFC4B657B312 Reserve Surety Bond, any other Reserve Credit Facility and cash on deposit in the Reserve Fund shall be allocated to the Reserve Accounts based on the Proportionate Share. (b) Moneys in the Reserve Fund shall be used solely for the purposes set forth in this Section 4.3. Subject to the limitations set forth in the following paragraph, amounts in the Reserve Fund may be applied to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds when the moneys in the Interest Account and the Principal Account of the Revenue Fund are insufficient therefor. In addition, moneys in the Reserve Fund not constituting funds drawn on the Reserve Fund Surety Bond or any other Reserve Credit Facility may be applied: (i) in connection with an optional redemption of Bonds pursuant to Section 2.2 or a defeasance pursuant to Section 9.3, (ii) when the balance therein equals the principal and interest due on the Bonds to and including maturity, (iii) when the amount in a Reserve Account is transferred to the Interest Account and the Principal Account as a credit against the payments due on the Local Obligations secured by such account on the transfer dates specified in subsection (e) below, or (iv) when a recalculation of the Reserve Requirement results in a reduction thereof and amounts on deposit in the Reserve Fund in excess of the Reserve Requirement (exclusive of interest earnings, which are governed by Section 4.5) are transferred to the Interest Account and the Principal Account as a credit against the payments due on the Local Obligations as provided in subsection (f) below. (c) Except as otherwise provided herein, all money in the Reserve Fund and the Reserve Accounts therein shall be used and withdrawn by the Trustee solely for the purpose of making transfers as described in this Section 4.3(c). If the amounts in the Interest Account or the Principal Account of the Revenue Fund are insufficient to pay the principal of or interest on the Bonds when due or mandatory sinking fund payments on the Bonds when due, the Trustee shall withdraw from the applicable Reserve Account or Reserve Accounts an amount equal to the deficiency resulting from the delinquency in the payment of scheduled debt service on the applicable Series of Local Obligations and transfer such amount to the Interest Account, the Principal Account or both, as applicable. If there are insufficient funds on deposit in a Reserve Account to cover a deficiency resulting from the delinquency in the payment of scheduled debt service on the applicable Series of Local Obligations, the Trustee shall withdraw from the other Reserve Account the amount of such remaining deficiency and transfer such amount to the Interest Account, the Principal Account or both, as applicable. Upon the transfer by the Trustee to the Reserve Fund of Local Obligations Delinquency Revenues of a Community Facilities District, such Revenues shall be allocated as follows: (A) First, to the Bond Insurer to reimburse it for all Policy Costs (as defined in Section 4.3(f)(iii) below) due as a result of a draw on the Reserve Surety Bond and reimbursement of amounts with respect to any other Reserve Credit Facility due as a result of delinquencies on the Local Obligations of such Community Facilities District with such reimbursements credited first to the Reserve Account for the Series of Local Obligations to which such delinquent Revenues do not relate, if such reimbursements are owing as a result from draws due to delinquencies in the payment of scheduled debt service on the other series of Local Obligations. Such reimbursements shall next be credited to the Reserve Account for the series of Local Obligations from which the delinquent Revenues were received; and (B) Second, to the Reserve Account for the Series of Local Obligations to which such Local Obligations Delinquency Revenues do not relate, that amount necessary to increase the amount on deposit in such account to the Reserve Requirement, if the 26 4897-1590-4293v9/20209 1 -0001 Docusign Envelope ID: 3EFE5DEg-C71E-480B-80B0-BFC4B657B312 deficiency in the amount on deposit in such account resulted from draws on such Reserve Account due to delinquencies in the payment of scheduled debt service on the other Series of Local Obligations. (C) Third, after increasing the amount on deposit in the applicable Reserve Account to the Reserve Requirement pursuant to the second step above, to the Reserve Account for the Series of Local Obligations from which the Local Obligations Delinquency Revenues were received that amount necessary to replenish the amount on deposit in such Reserve Account to the applicable Reserve Requirement; and (D) Fourth, to the Revenue Fund. (d) On September 1 of each year, any interest earned on the investment of moneys on deposit in the Reserve Fund which would cause the amount therein to exceed the Reserve Requirement shall be applied as set forth in Section 4.5 hereof. (e) In the Bond Year in which any Local Obligation matures, cash on deposit in the Reserve Account related to such Local Obligations, will be transferred to the Interest Account and the Principal Account as a credit against the payments due on such Local Obligations, with the amount transferred from a Reserve Account being deposited first to the Interest Account as a credit on the interest due on such Local Obligations on such date and the balance being deposited to the Principal Account as a credit on the principal due on such Local Obligations on such date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee shall retain an amount sufficient to ensure that the Reserve Requirement is met in the subsequent Bond Year. Amounts on deposit in a Reserve Account for which the related Local Obligations are no longer outstanding may be transferred to any other Reserve Account as set forth in a Certificate of the Authority. (f) On September 1 of each year, in connection with the annual recalculation of the Reserve Requirement, amounts on deposit in the Reserve Accounts (exclusive of interest earnings, which are governed by Section 4.5) in excess of each Reserve Account's Proportionate Share of the Reserve Requirement shall be transferred first to the Interest Account and then to the Principal Account as a credit against the payments due on the CFD No. 06-1 Local Obligations on such date, until the CFD No. 06-1 Local Obligations have been paid in full, and then as a credit against the payment due on the CFD No. 2014-1 Local Obligations. (g) [As long as the Reserve Surety Bond shall be in full force and effect, the Authority and the Trustee agree to comply with the following provisions:] [TO COME] Section 4.4 Surplus Fund. Any amounts transferred to the Surplus Fund pursuant to subsection 4.2 hereof shall no longer be considered Revenues and are not pledged to repay the Bonds. So long as Local Obligations are outstanding, on September 1 of each year after setting aside any amount specified in a Request of the Authority as necessary to pay Administrative Expenses, the remaining balance, if any, in the Surplus Fund shall (i) be transferred by the Trustee to the City for credit to the special tax fund for the Local Obligations, and each Community Facilities District shall be credited a percentage of the total amount available on each September 1 that is equal to the percentage which each series of its outstanding Local Obligation represents of all outstanding Local Obligations held by the Trustee as of the date of disbursement or (ii) as set forth in a Request of the City be applied to the redemption of Local Obligations pursuant to the terms of the Local Obligation Bond Indenture with each series of Local Obligations to be credited a percentage of the total amount 27 4897-1590-4293v9/20209 1 -0001 Docusign Envelope ID: 3EFE5DEg-C71E-480B-80B0-BFC4B657B312 available on each September 1 that is equal to the percentage which a series of outstanding Local Obligations represents of all outstanding Local Obligations held by the Trustee as of the date of disbursement. In the event that the Local Obligations have been redeemed or defeased in whole or in part, then such credit shall be applied to the Local Obligation that remains outstanding. In the event all Community Facilities Districts are no longer obligated to levy Special Taxes to repay Local Obligations, then any amounts in the Surplus Fund may be used by the Authority for any lawful purpose, including, but not limited to, the payment of expenses of the Authority, the City or the Community Facilities Districts relating to the Bonds, the Local Obligations, the Community Facilities Districts, or any other purpose as specified in a Request of the Authority delivered to the Trustee. On September 1 of the year preceding the year of the final maturity of the Bonds, the remaining balance in the Surplus Fund shall be credited by the Trustee on a proportionate basis, to the special tax fund established with respect to Local Obligations of the Community Facilities Districts. Such amounts shall be applied to reduce debt service payments on Local Obligations. Section 4.5 Investments.

The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any such Request of the Authority as to both suitability and legality of the directed investments and shall be fully protected in relying thereon. In the absence of any such Request of the Authority the Trustee shall hold such moneys uninvested. Permitted Investments purchased as an investment of moneys in any fund or account established pursuant to this Indenture shall be deemed to be part of such fund or account. All interest or gain derived from the investment of amounts in any of the funds or accounts established hereunder shall be deposited in the fund or account from which such investment was made; provided, however, that all interest or gain derived from the investment of amounts in the accounts of the Reserve Fund shall, to the extent the balance in any account thereof exceeds, on September 1 of each year, its Proportionate Share of the Reserve Requirement as set forth in Section 4.3(a) hereof, be withdrawn by the Trustee on such September 1, commencing September 1, 2026, and deposited to the special tax fund of the Community Facilities Districts to be applied to the payment of debt service on the applicable Local Obligations on the next Interest Payment Date. For purposes of acquiring any investments hereunder, the Trustee may commingle moneys held by it in any of the funds and accounts held by it hereunder. The Trustee is hereby authorized, in making or disposing of any investment permitted by this Section, to deal with itself (in its individual capacity) or with any one or more of its affiliates, whether it or such affiliate is acting as an agent of the Trustee or for any third person or dealing as principal for its own account. The Trustee and its affiliates may act as advisor, sponsor, principal or agent in the acquisition or disposition of any investment and may impose its customary charges for such trades, including account maintenance fees. The Trustee and its affiliates may make any and all investments permitted herein through its own investment department. The Trustee shall incur no liability for losses arising from any investments made pursuant to this Section 4.5 or losses incurred as a result of the liquidation of any investment prior to its stated maturity or the failure of the Authority to provide timely written investment direction.

The Authority further understands that trade confirmations for securities transactions effected by the Trustee will be available upon request and at no additional cost and other trade confirmations may be obtained from the applicable broker. The Trustee will furnish the Authority periodic cash transaction statements which include detail for all investment transactions made by the Trustee hereunder or brokers selected by the Authority. Upon the Authority's election, such statements will be delivered via the Trustee's online service and upon electing such service, paper statements will be provided only upon request. Ratings of Permitted Investments referred to herein shall be determined at the time of purchase of such Permitted Investments and without regard to rating subcategories. The Trustee shall have no responsibility to monitor ratings of Permitted Investments after the initial purchase of such Permitted Investments or the responsibility to validate the ratings of Permitted Investments prior to the initial purchase.

Section 5.2 Extension of Payment of Bonds. The Authority shall not directly or indirectly extend or assent to the extension of the maturity of any of the Bonds or the time of payment of any claims for interest by the purchase of such Bonds or by any other arrangement, and in case the maturity of any of the Bonds or the time of payment of any such claims for interest shall be extended, such Bonds or claims for interest shall not be entitled, in case of any default hereunder, to the benefits of this Indenture, except subject to the prior payment in full of the principal of all of the Bonds then Outstanding and of all claims for interest thereon which shall have been so extended. Nothing in this Section shall be deemed to limit the right of the Authority to issue Bonds for the purpose of refunding any Outstanding Bonds, and such issuance shall not be deemed to constitute an extension of maturity of the Bonds. Section 5.3 Against Encumbrances. The Authority shall not create, or permit the creation of, any pledge, lien, charge or other encumbrance upon the Revenues, and other assets pledged or assigned under this Indenture while any of the Bonds are Outstanding, except the pledge and assignment created by this Indenture. Subject to this limitation, the Authority expressly reserves 29 4897-1590-4293v9/20209 1 -0001 Docusign Envelope ID: 3EFE5DEg-C71E-480B-80B0-BFC4B657B312 the right to enter into one or more other indentures for any of its corporate purposes, including other programs under the Bond Law, and reserves the right to issue other obligations for such purposes.

(e) The Supplemental Indenture providing for the issuance of such Additional Bonds may provide for the establishment of separate funds and accounts. (f) No Event of Default (or any event which, once all notice or grace periods have passed, would constitute an Event of Default) shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Bonds or any of the Local Obligations unless such Event of Default shall be cured upon the issuance of the Additional Bonds.

Notwithstanding satisfaction of the other conditions to the issuance of Additional Bonds set forth in this Section 5.6, no such issuance may occur if the Reserve Fund is not fully funded at the Reserve Requirement.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, absent an opinion of Bond Counsel that the exclusion from gross income of interest on the Bonds will not be adversely affected for federal income tax purposes, the Authority covenants to comply with all applicable requirements of the Code necessary to preserve such exclusion from gross income and specifically covenants, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, as follows: (a) Private Activity. The Authority will not take or omit to take any action or make any use of the proceeds of the Bonds or of any other moneys or property which would cause the Bonds to be "private activity bonds" within the meaning of Section 141 of the Code. (b) Arbitrage. The Authority will make no use of the proceeds of the Bonds or of any other amounts or property, regardless of the source, or take or omit to take any action which would cause the Bonds to be "arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of Section 148 of the Code. (c) Federal Guarantee. The Authority will make no use of the proceeds of the Bonds or take or omit to take any action that would cause the Bonds to be "federally guaranteed" within the meaning of Section 149(b) of the Code.

The Authority will make no use of the proceeds of the Bonds or any other amounts or property, regardless of the source, and will not take any action or refrain from taking any action that would cause the Bonds to be considered "hedge bonds" within the meaning of Section 149(g) of the Code unless the Authority takes all necessary action to assure compliance with the requirements of Section 149(g) of the Code to maintain the exclusion from gross income of interest on the Bonds for federal income tax purposes.

Section 5.8 Rebate Fund (a) Establishment. The Trustee shall establish a Rebate Fund, when needed, and shall maintain therein separate accounts (solely from amounts deposited by the Authority) designated the "Rebate Account" and the "Alternative Penalty Account."

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 exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.

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 6.11 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 a 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 6.11 are adopted to these ends. In the event that the Trustee or the Authority 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 the Trustee or separate or co -Trustee. Should any instrument in writing from the Authority be required by the separate trustee or co -trustee so appointed by the Trustee or the Authority 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 6.12 Indemnification; Limited Liability of Trustee. The Authority further covenants and agrees to indemnify and save the Trustee and its officers, officials, directors, agents and employees, harmless from and against any damages, loss, cost, claims, expense (including legal 42 4897-1590-4293v9/20209 1 -0001 Docusign Envelope ID: 3EFE5DEg-C71E-480B-80B0-BFC4B657B312 fees and expenses of its attorneys), and liabilities which it may incur arising out of or in the exercise and performance of its powers and duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending against any claim (other than claims asserted by the Authority) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, or in connection with enforcing any remedies hereunder and under any related documents, but excluding any and all losses, damage, claim, expenses and liabilities which are due to the negligence or intentional misconduct of the Trustee, its officers, directors, agents or employees. In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for any consequential, punitive, indirect, incidental, or special damages or loss of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. No provision in this Indenture shall require the Trustee to risk or expend its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability hereunder unless security or indemnity satisfactory to it in its sole and absolute discretion against such liability or risk is provided to it. The Trustee may refuse to perform any duty or exercise any right or power which would require it to expend its own funds or risk any liability if it shall reasonably believe that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk is not reasonably 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 a majority (or any lesser amount that may direct the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture) of the Owners of the principal amount of Bonds Outstanding or the Bond Insurer relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding or remedy available to the Trustee under this Indenture. The Trustee shall not be liable for any errors of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent or engaged in willful misconduct in ascertaining the pertinent facts. The rights of the Trustee and the obligations of the Authority under this Section 6.12 shall survive termination of this Indenture, discharge of the Bonds and resignation or removal of the Trustee. ARTICLE VII MODIFICATION AND AMENDMENT OF THE INDENTURE Section 7.1 Amendment Hereof. This Indenture and the rights and obligations of the Authority and of the Owners of the Bonds may be modified or amended at any time by a Supplemental Indenture which shall become binding when the Owners of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding and the prior written consent of the Bond Insurer are filed with the Trustee. No such modification or amendment shall (a) extend the maturity of or reduce the interest rate on any Bond or otherwise alter or impair the obligation of the Authority to pay the principal, interest or redemption premiums, if any, at the time and place and at the rate and in the currency provided therein of any Bond without the express written consent of the Owner of such Bond and the Bond Insurer with respect to any Insured Bond, (b) reduce the percentage of Bonds required for the written consent to any such amendment or modification, or (c) without written consent of the Trustee, modify any of the rights or obligations of the Trustee. This Indenture and the rights and obligations of the Authority and of the Owners of the Bonds may also be modified or amended at any time by a Supplemental Indenture which shall become binding upon adoption, without consent of any Bond Owners and the Bond Insurer, to the extent permitted by law but only for any one or more of the following purposes: (a) to cure any ambiguity or formal defects or omissions or to correct any inconsistent provisions in this Indenture or any Supplemental Indenture; 43 4897-1590-4293v9/20209 1 -0001 Docusign Envelope ID: 3EFE5DEg-C71E-480B-80B0-BFC4B657B312 (b) to grant or confer upon the holders of the Bonds any additional rights, remedies, powers, authority or security that may lawfully be granted to or conferred upon the holders of the Bonds; or (c) to add to the conditions, limitations and restrictions on the issuance of bonds or other obligations under the provisions of the Indenture other conditions, limitations and restrictions thereafter to be observed; or (d) to add to the covenants and agreements of the Authority in this Indenture other covenants and agreements thereafter to be observed by the Authority or to surrender any right or power therein reserved to or conferred upon the Authority; or (e) to issue Additional Bonds in accordance with Section 5.6 hereof. In executing or accepting any Supplemental Indenture or amendment as permitted by this Article or the modification thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be furnished, at the expense of the Authority, an opinion of Bond Counsel that any such Supplemental Indenture entered into by the Authority and the Trustee is authorized and complies with the provisions of this Indenture and the Trustee may conclusively rely upon such opinion and shall be fully protected in relying thereon. Section 7.2 Effect of Supplemental Indenture. From and after the time any Supplemental Indenture becomes effective pursuant to this Article VII, this Indenture shall be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith, the respective rights, duties and obligations of the parties hereto or thereto and all Owners of Outstanding Bonds, as the case may be, shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all respects to such modification and amendment, and all the terms and conditions of any Supplemental Indenture shall be deemed to be part of this Indenture for any and all purposes. Section 7.3 Endorsement or Replacement of Bonds After Amendment. After the effective date of any action taken as hereinabove provided, the Authority may determine that any affected Bonds shall bear a notation, by endorsement in form approved by the Authority, as to such action, and in that case upon demand of the Owner of any Bond Outstanding at such effective date and presentation of its Bond for that purpose at the Trust Office of the Trustee, a suitable notation as to such action shall be made on such Bond. If the Authority shall so determine, new Bonds so modified as, in the opinion of the Authority, shall be necessary to conform to such Bond Owners' action shall be prepared and executed, and in that case upon demand of the Owner of any Bond Outstanding at such effective date such new Bonds shall be exchanged at the Trust Office of the Trustee, without cost to each Bond Owner, for Bonds then Outstanding, upon surrender of such Outstanding Bonds. Section 7.4 Amendment by Mutual Consent. The provisions of this Article VII shall not prevent any Bond Owner, with the Bond Insurer's consent, from accepting any amendment as to the particular Bond held by such Owner, provided that due notation thereof is made on such Bond. 44 4897-1590-4293v9/20209 1 -0001 Docusign Envelope ID: 3EFE5DEg-C71E-480B-80B0-BFC4B657B312 ARTICLE VIII EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES OF BOND OWNERS Section 8.1 Events of Default. The following events shall be Events of Default hereunder. (a) Default in the due and punctual payment of the principal of any Bond when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at maturity as therein expressed, by proceedings for redemption, by declaration or otherwise. (b) Default in the due and punctual payment of any installment of interest on any Bond when and as such interest installment shall become due and payable. (c) Default by the Authority in the observance of any of the other covenants, agreements or conditions on its part in this Indenture or in the Bonds contained, if such default shall have continued for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof, specifying such default and requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Authority by the Trustee, or to the Authority and the Trustee by the Owners of not less than twenty five percent (25%) in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds at the time Outstanding, provided that such default (other than a default arising from nonpayment of the Trustee's fees and expenses, which must be cured within such 30 day period) shall not constitute an Event of Default hereunder if the Authority shall commence to cure such default within said thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently and in good faith shall cure such default within a reasonable period of time. Section 8.2 Remedies; Rights of Bond Owners. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy at law or in equity to enforce the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Outstanding Bonds, and to enforce any rights of the Trustee under or with respect to this Indenture. Subject to Section 8.3, in the event of an Event of Default arising out of a nonpayment of Trustee's fees and expenses, the Trustee may sue the Authority to seek recovery of its fees and expenses, provided, however, that such recovery may be made only from the funds of the Authority and not from Revenues. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and if requested to do so by the Owners of at least twenty-five percent (25%) in aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Bonds, and, in each case, if indemnified as provided in Section 6.2(l), the Trustee shall be obligated to exercise such one or more of the rights and powers conferred by this Article VIII and, as applicable, under the Local Obligations, as the Trustee, being advised by counsel, shall deem most expedient in the interests of the Bond Owners. No remedy by the terms of this Indenture conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee (or to the Bond Owners) is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, but each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to any other remedy given to the Trustee or to the Bond Owners hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon 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 acquiescence therein; such right or power may be exercised from time to time as often as may be deemed expedient. 45 4897-1590-4293v9/20209 1 -0001 Docusign Envelope ID: 3EFE5DEg-C71E-480B-80B0-BFC4B657B312 In no event shall the principal of the Bonds be accelerated. When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after the occurrence of an Event of Default, such expenses and the compensation for such services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, arrangement, moratorium, reorganization or other debtor relief law. Nothing herein shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Bond Owners any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, or composition affecting the Bonds or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Bond Owners in any such proceeding without the approval of the Bond Owners so affected. Section 8.3 Application of Revenues and Other Funds After Event of Default. All amounts received by the Trustee with respect to the Bonds pursuant to any right given or action taken by the Trustee under the provisions of this Indenture relating to the Bonds shall be applied by the Trustee in the following order upon presentation of the several Bonds, and the stamping thereon of the amount of the payment if only partially paid, or upon the surrender thereof if fully paid — First, to the payment of the costs and expenses of the Trustee in declaring such Event of Default and in carrying out the provisions of this Article VIII, including reasonable compensation to its agents, attorneys and counsel (including outside counsel and the allocated costs of internal attorneys), and to the payment of all other outstanding fees and expenses of the Trustee; and Second, to the payment of the whole amount of interest on and principal of the Bonds then due and unpaid, with interest on overdue installments of principal and interest to the extent permitted by law at the net effective rate of interest then borne by the Outstanding Bonds; provided, however, that in the event such amounts shall be insufficient to pay in full the full amount of such interest and principal, then such amounts shall be applied in the following order of priority; (a) first to the payment of all installments of interest on the Bonds then due and unpaid, (b) second, to the payment of all installments of principal of the Bonds then due and unpaid, and (c) third, to the payment of interest on overdue installments of principal and interest on Bonds. Section 8.4 Control by Bond Insurer Upon Default. Anything herein notwithstanding, so long as the Insurance Policy is in full force and effect and the Bond Insurer has not defaulted on its obligations thereunder, upon the occurrence and continuance of a default or an Event of Default; (a) the Bond Insurer shall be entitled to control and direct the enforcement of all rights and remedies granted to the holders of the Insured Bonds or the Trustee for the benefit of the holders of the Insured Bonds hereunder; (b) no default or Event of Default may be waived without the Bond Insurer's written consent; and (c) the Bond Insurer shall be deemed to be the sole owner of the Insured Bonds for all purposes hereunder, including, without limitations, for purposes of exercising remedies and approving amendments. 46 4897-1590-4293v9/20209 1 -0001 Docusign Envelope ID: 3EFE5DEg-C71E-480B-80B0-BFC4B657B312 Section 8.5 Appointment of Receivers. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, and upon the filing of a suit or other commencement of judicial proceedings to enforce the rights of the Trustee and of the Bond Owners under this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled, as a matter of right, to the appointment of a receiver or receivers of the Revenues and other amounts pledged hereunder, pending such proceedings, with such powers as the court making such appointment shall confer. Section 8.6 Non Waiver. Nothing in this Article VIII or in any other provision of this Indenture, or in the Bonds, shall affect or impair the obligation of the Authority, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the interest on and principal of the Bonds to the respective Owners of the Bonds at the respective dates of maturity, as herein provided, out of the Revenues and other moneys herein pledged for such payment. A waiver of any default or breach of duty or contract by the Trustee or any Bond Owners shall not affect any subsequent default or breach of duty or contract, or impair any rights or remedies on any such subsequent default or breach. No delay or omission of the Trustee or any Owner of any of the Bonds 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 of any such default or an acquiescence therein; and every power and remedy conferred upon the Trustee or Bond Owners by the Bond Law or by this Article VIII may be enforced and exercised from time to time and as often as shall be deemed expedient by the Trustee or the Bond Owners, as the case may be. Section 8.7 Rights and Remedies of Bond Owners. No Owner of any Bond issued hereunder shall have the right to institute any suit, action or proceeding at law or in equity, for any remedy under or upon this Indenture, unless (a) such Owner shall have previously given to the Trustee written notice of the occurrence of an Event of Default; (b) the Owners of a majority in aggregate principal amount of all the Bonds then Outstanding shall have made written request upon the Trustee to exercise the powers hereinbefore granted or to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name; (c) said Owners shall have tendered to the Trustee indemnity reasonably acceptable to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request; and (d) the Trustee shall have refused or omitted to comply with such request for a period of sixty (60) days after such written request shall have been received by, and said tender of indemnity shall have been made to, the Trustee. Such notification, request, tender of indemnity and refusal or omission are hereby declared, in every case, to be conditions precedent to the exercise by any Owner of Bonds of any remedy hereunder; it being understood and intended that no one or more Owners of Bonds shall have any right in any manner whatever by his or their action to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided, and that all proceedings at law or in equity to enforce any provision of this Indenture shall be instituted, had and maintained in the manner herein provided and for the equal benefit of all Owners of the Outstanding Bonds. The right of any Owner of any Bond to receive payment of the principal of and interest and premium (if any) on such Bond as herein provided or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, shall not be impaired or affected without the written consent of such Owner, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section or any other provision of this Indenture. Section 8.8 Termination of Proceedings. In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Indenture by the appointment of a receiver or otherwise, and such 47 4897-1590-4293v9/20209 1 -0001 Docusign Envelope ID: 3EFE5DEg-C71E-480B-80B0-BFC4B657B312 proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or shall have been determined adversely, then and in every such case, the Authority, the Trustee and the Bond Owners shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively, with regard to the property subject to this Indenture, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Trustee shall continue as if no such proceedings had been taken. ARTICLE IX MISCELLANEOUS Section 9.1 Limited Liability of Authority. Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture contained, the Authority shall not be required to advance any moneys derived from any source of income other than the Revenues or for the payment of the principal of or interest on the Bonds, or any premiums upon the redemption thereof, or for the performance of any covenants herein contained (except to the extent any such covenants are expressly payable hereunder from the Revenues). The Authority may, however, advance funds for any such purpose, provided that such funds are derived from a source legally available for such purpose and may be used by the Authority for such purpose without incurring indebtedness. The Bonds shall be revenue bonds, payable exclusively from the Revenues and other funds as in this Indenture provided. The general fund of the Authority is not liable, and the credit of the Authority is not pledged, for the payment of the interest and premium (if any) on or principal of the Bonds. The Owners of the Bonds shall never have the right to compel the forfeiture of any property of the Authority. The principal of and interest on the Bonds and any premiums upon the redemption of any thereof, shall not be a legal or equitable pledge, charge, lien or encumbrance upon any property of the Authority or upon any of its income, receipts or revenues except the Revenues and other funds pledged to the payment thereof as in this Indenture provided. Section 9.2 Benefits of Indenture Limited to Parties. Nothing in this Indenture, expressed or implied, is intended to give to any person other than the Authority, the Trustee, the Bond Insurer and the Owners of the Bonds, any right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Indenture. Any covenants, stipulations, promises or agreements in this Indenture contained by and on behalf of the Authority shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Trustee, the Bond Insurer and the Owners of Bonds. Section 9.3 Discharge of Indenture. The Authority may pay and discharge any or all of the Outstanding Bonds in any one or more of the following ways: (a) by well and truly paying or causing to be paid the principal of and interest and premium (if any) on such Bonds, as and when the same become due and payable; (b) by irrevocably depositing with the Trustee, in trust, at or before maturity, money which, together with the available amounts then on deposit in the funds and accounts established with the Trustee pursuant to this Indenture and available for such purpose, is fully sufficient to pay such Bonds, including all principal, interest and redemption premiums; or (c) by irrevocably depositing with the Trustee or any other fiduciary, in trust, Defeasance Securities in such amount as an Independent Accountant shall determine will, together with the interest to accrue thereon and available moneys then on deposit in the funds and accounts 48 4897-1590-4293v9/20209 1 -0001 Docusign Envelope ID: 3EFE5DEg-C71E-480B-80B0-BFC4B657B312 established with the Trustee pursuant to this Indenture and available for such purpose, be fully sufficient to pay and discharge the indebtedness on such Bonds (including all principal, interest and redemption premiums) at or before their respective maturity dates. [Any Outstanding Bond or Bonds shall be deemed to have been paid and discharged under (b) or (c) above if (i) in the case of Bonds to be redeemed prior to the maturity thereof, notice of such redemption shall have been provided pursuant to Section 2.2(e) hereof or provision satisfactory to the Trustee shall have been made for the provision of such notice, (ii) the Authority shall deliver to the Trustee and the Bond Insurer draft copies of (A) an escrow agreement with respect to the deposits under (b) or (c) above, (B) an opinion of Bond Counsel, to the effect that the requirements of this Indenture have been satisfied with respect to such discharge of Bonds, and (C) with respect to a deposit under (c) above, a verification report of an Independent Accountant (a "Verification Report"), regarding the sufficiency of the escrow fund.) The Bond Insurer shall be provided with final drafts of the above -referenced documentation not less than three Business Days prior to any defeasance with respect to the Bonds. The opinion and Verification Report shall be addressed to the Bond Insurer and shall be in form and substance satisfactory to the Bond Insurer. In addition, the escrow agreement shall provide (a) that any substitution of securities following the execution and delivery of the escrow agreement shall require the delivery of (i) a Verification Report; (ii) an opinion of Bond Counsel that such substitution will not adversely affect the exclusion (if interest on the Bonds is excludable) from gross income of the holders of the Bonds of the interest on the Bonds for federal income tax purposes; and (iii) the prior written consent of the Bond Insurer, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld; (b) the Authority will not exercise any prior optional redemption of the Bonds secured by the escrow agreement or any other redemption other than mandatory sinking fund redemptions unless (i) the right to make any such redemption has been expressly reserved in the escrow agreement and such reservation has been disclosed in detail in the official statement for the refunding bonds, and (ii) as a condition to any such redemption there shall be provided to the Bond Insurer a Verification Report as to the sufficiency of the escrow receipts without reinvestment to meet the escrow requirements remaining following any such redemption; and (iii) the Authority shall not amend the escrow agreement or enter into a forward purchase agreement or other agreement with respect to rights in the escrow without the prior written consent of the Bond Insurer. Defeasance shall be accomplished only with an irrevocable deposit in escrow of cash and/or Defeasance Securities. Further substitutions of securities in the escrow are not permitted. The deposit in the escrow must be sufficient, without reinvestment, to pay all principal and interest as scheduled on the Bonds to and including the date of redemption. This Indenture shall not be discharged until all amounts due or to become due to the Bond Insurer shall have been paid in full in accordance with Section 10.3. The Authority's obligation to pay such amounts shall expressly survive payment in full of the payments of principal of and interest on the Bonds.] Section 9.4 Successor is Deemed Included in All References to Predecessor. Whenever in this Indenture or any Supplemental Indenture either the Authority is named or referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successor to the powers, duties and functions, with respect to the management, administration and control of the affairs of the Authority, that are presently vested in the Authority, and all the covenants, agreements and provisions contained in this Indenture by or on behalf of the Authority shall bind and inure to the benefit of its successors whether so expressed or not. 49 4897-1590-4293v9/20209 1 -0001 Docusign Envelope ID: 3EFE5DEg-C71E-480B-80B0-BFC4B657B312 Section 9.5 Content of Certificates.

Any such certificate made or given by an officer of the Authority may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of or representations by counsel, unless such officer knows that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his certificate may be based, as aforesaid, are erroneous, or in the exercise of reasonable care should have known that the same were erroneous. Any such certificate or opinion or representation made or given by counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, on information with respect to which is in the possession of the Authority, or upon the certificate or opinion of or representations by an officer or officers of the Authority, unless such counsel knows that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his certificate, opinion or representation may be based, as aforesaid, are erroneous, or in the exercise of reasonable care should have known that the same were erroneous. Section 9.6 Execution of Documents by Bond Owners. Any request, consent or other instrument required by this Indenture to be signed and executed by Bond Owners may be in any number of concurrent writings of substantially similar tenor and may be signed or executed by such Bond Owners in person or by agent or agents duly appointed in writing. Proof of the execution of any such request, consent or other instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent, shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and shall be conclusive in favor of the Trustee and of the Authority if made in the manner provided in this Section 9.6. The fact and date of the execution by any person of any such request, consent or other instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by the certificate of any notary public or other officer of any jurisdiction, authorized by the laws thereof to take acknowledgements of deeds, certifying that the person signing such request, consent or other instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. The ownership of Bonds shall be conclusively proved by the Bond Register. Any request, consent or vote of the Owner of any Bond shall bind every future Owner of the same Bond and the Owner of any Bond issued in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of anything done or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Authority in pursuance of such request, consent or vote. In lieu of obtaining any demand, request, direction, consent or waiver in writing, the Trustee may call and hold a meeting of the Bond Owners upon such notice and in accordance with such rules and obligation as the Trustee considers fair and reasonable for the purpose of obtaining any such action. Section 9.7 Disqualified Bonds. In determining whether the Owners of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Bonds have concurred in any demand, request, direction, consent or waiver under this Indenture, Bonds which are owned or held by or for the account of the Authority, the City or the Community Facilities Districts (but excluding Bonds held in any employees' or retirement fund) shall be disregarded and deemed not to be Outstanding for the purpose of any such 50 4897-1590-4293v9/20209 1 -0001 Docusign Envelope ID: 3EFE5DEg-C71E-480B-80B0-BFC4B657B312 determination, provided, however, that for the purpose of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such demand, request, direction, consent or waiver, only Bonds which the Trustee knows to be so owned or held shall be disregarded. Upon request, the Authority shall specify to the Trustee those Bonds disqualified pursuant to this Section 9.7 and the Trustee may conclusively rely upon such certificate. Section 9.8 Waiver of Personal Liability. No officer, agent or employee of the Authority shall be individually or personally liable for the payment of the interest on or principal of the Bonds; but nothing herein contained shall relieve any such officer, agent or employee from the performance of any official duty provided by law. Section 9.9 Entire Agreement; Partial Invalidity. This Agreement and the exhibits hereto set forth the entire agreement and understanding of the parties related to this transaction and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written. If any one or more of the covenants or agreements, or portions thereof, provided in this Indenture on the part of the Authority (or of the Trustee) to be performed should be contrary to law, then such covenant or covenants, such agreement or agreements, or such portions thereof, shall be null and void and shall be deemed separable from the remaining covenants and agreements or portions thereof and shall in no way affect the validity of this Indenture or of the Bonds; but the Bond Owners shall retain all rights and benefits accorded to them under the Bond Law or any other applicable provisions of law. The Authority hereby declares that it would have entered into this Indenture and each and every other section, paragraph, subdivision, sentence, clause and phrase hereof and would have authorized the issuance of the Bonds pursuant hereto irrespective of the fact that any or more sections, paragraphs, subdivisions, sentences, clauses or phrases of this Indenture or the application thereof to any person or circumstance may be held to be unconstitutional, unenforceable or invalid. Section 9.10 Destruction of Cancelled Bonds. Whenever in this Indenture provision is made for the surrender to the Authority or the Trustee of any Bonds which have been paid or cancelled pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee shall destroy such Bonds in accordance with the retention policy of the Trustee then in effect.

(b) The Underwriter agrees to assist the Authority in establishing the issue price of the Bonds and shall execute and deliver to the Authority at Closing (as defined below) an "issue price" or similar certificate, together with the supporting pricing wires or equivalent communications, substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit C, with such modifications as may be appropriate or necessary, in the reasonable judgment of the Underwriter, the Authority and Bond Counsel (as such term is defined below), to accurately reflect, as applicable, the sales price or prices or the initial offering price or prices to the public of the Bonds and the 2025 Lease Revenues Bonds, if applicable. All actions to be taken by the Authority under this section to establish the issue price of the Bonds may be taken on behalf of the Authority by the Authority's municipal advisor, Fieldman Rolapp & Associates, Inc. (the "Municipal Advisor") and any notice or report to be provided to the Authority may be provided to the Authority's Municipal Advisor. (c) Except as otherwise set forth in Exhibit A, the Authority will treat the first price at which 10% of each maturity of the Bonds (the "10% test"), identified under the column "10% Test Used" in Exhibit A, is sold to the public as the issue price of that maturity. At or promptly after the execution of this Purchase Agreement, the Underwriter shall report to the Authority the price or prices at which it has sold to the public each maturity of Bonds. If at that time the 10% test has not been satisfied as to any maturity of the Bonds, the Underwriter agrees to promptly report to the Authority the prices at which it sells the unsold Bonds of that maturity to the public. That reporting obligation shall continue, whether or not the Closing Date (as defined below) has occurred, until either: (i) the Underwriter has sold all of the Bonds of that maturity; or (ii), the 10% test has been satisfied as to the Bonds of that maturity, provided that, the Underwriter's reporting obligation after the Closing Date may be at reasonable periodic intervals or otherwise upon the request of the Authority or Bond Counsel. For purposes of this Section, if Bonds mature on the same date but have different interest rates, each separate CUSIP number within that maturity will be treated as a separate maturity of the Bonds. For clarity, and notwithstanding any other condition to Closing set forth in this Purchase Agreement, the 2 Docusign Envelope ID: 3EFE5DEg-C71E-480B-80B0-BFC4B657B312 sale of 10% of each maturity of the Bonds to the public prior to the Closing Date shall not be a condition to Closing.

Exhibit A also sets forth, identified under the column "Hold the Offering Price Rule Used," as of the date of this Purchase Agreement, the maturities, if any, of the Bonds for which the 10% test has not been satisfied and for which the Authority and the Underwriter agree that the restrictions set forth in the next sentence shall apply, which will allow the Authority to treat the initial offering price to the public of each such maturity as of the sale date as the issue price of that maturity (the "hold -the - offering -price rule"). So long as the hold -the -offering -price rule remains applicable to any maturity of the Bonds, the Underwriter will neither offer nor sell unsold Bonds of that maturity to any person at a price that is higher than the initial offering price to the public during the period starting on the sale date and ending on the earlier of the following: (i) the close of the fifth (5th) business day after the sale date; or (ii) the date on which the Underwriter has sold at least 10% of that maturity of the Bonds to the public at a price that is no higher than the initial offering price to the public.

(f) The Authority acknowledges that, in making the representations set forth in this Section, the Underwriter will rely on (i) in the event a selling group has been created in connection with the initial sale of the Bonds to the public, the agreement of each dealer who is a member of the selling group to comply with the requirements for establishing issue price of the Bonds, including, but not limited to, its agreement to comply with the hold -the -offering -price rule, if applicable to the Bonds, as set forth in a selling group agreement and the related pricing wires, and (ii) in the event that a third - party distribution agreement was employed in connection with the initial sale of the Bonds to the public, the agreement of each broker -dealer that is a party to such agreement to comply with the requirements for establishing issue price of the Bonds, including, but not limited to, its agreement to comply with the hold -the -offering -price rule, if applicable to the Bonds, as set forth in the third -party distribution agreement and the related pricing wires. The Authority further acknowledges that the Underwriter shall not be liable for the failure of any dealer who is a member of a selling group, or of any broker -dealer that is a party to a third -party distribution agreement, to comply with its corresponding agreement to comply with the requirements for establishing issue price of the Bonds, including, but not limited to, its agreement to comply with the hold -the -offering -price rule, if applicable to the Bonds. (g) The Underwriter acknowledges that sales of any Bonds to any person that is a related party to an underwriter participating in the initial sale of the Bonds to the public (each such term being used as defined below) shall not constitute sales to the public for purposes of this section. Further, for purposes of this section: (i) "public" means any person other than an underwriter or a related party; (ii) "underwriter" means (A) any person that agrees pursuant to a written contract with the Authority (or with the lead underwriter to form an underwriting syndicate) to participate in the initial sale of the Bonds to the public and (B) any person that agrees pursuant to a written contract directly or indirectly with a person described in clause (A) to participate in the initial sale of the Bonds to the public (including a member of a selling group or a party to a third party distribution agreement participating in the initial sale of the Bonds to the public); (iii) a purchaser of any of the Bonds is a "related party" to an underwriter if the underwriter and the purchaser are subject, directly or indirectly, to (A) more than 50% common ownership of the voting power or the total value of their stock, if both entities are corporations (including direct ownership by one corporation of another), (B) more than 50% common ownership of their capital interests or profits interests, if both entities are partnerships (including direct ownership by one partnership of another), or (C) more than 50% common ownership of the value of the outstanding stock of the corporation or the capital interests or profit interests of the partnership, as applicable, if one entity is a corporation and the other entity is a partnership (including direct ownership of the applicable stock or interests by one entity of the other); and all parties.

The Bonds have been issued pursuant to the authority contained in Article 4 of Chapter 5 of Division 7 of Title 1 of the California Government Code (the "Act") and that certain Indenture of Trust dated as of [June] 1, 2025 (the "Indenture"), by and between the Authority and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee.

Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Bond Purchase Agreement dated , 2025 (the "Purchase Agreement"), among the Authority, the CFDs and the Underwriter.

Based upon the foregoing and such other information and documents as we consider necessary to render this opinion, we are of the opinion that: (i) The Purchase Agreement, Continuing Disclosure Agreement and the Local Obligation Indentures have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Authority and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by and validity against the other parties thereto, constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Authority, enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as the same may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance or transfer, moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally, by the exercise of judicial discretion in accordance with general principles of equity or otherwise in appropriate cases and by the limitation on legal remedies against public agencies in the State of California; provided, however, that we express no opinion as to any provisions therein relating to indemnification, contribution, penalty, choice of law, choice of forum or waiver provisions contained therein.

(iii) The Bonds [and the Local Obligations] are not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Indenture is exempt from qualification pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. The foregoing opinions are based upon our analysis and interpretation of existing laws, regulations, rulings and judicial decisions and cover certain matters not directly addressed by such authorities. The opinions are limited to matters governed by the laws of the State of California and federal securities laws, and we assume no responsibility with respect to the applicability or the effect of the laws of any other jurisdiction. Except as expressly set forth in the Approving Opinion, we express no opinion regarding any tax consequences with respect to the Bonds.
