On the delivery date, $ aggregate principal amount of the Assessment Bonds (95-2) are being converted to, and reissued as, Group One Fixed Rate Bonds. The Original 95-2 Agreement provides that, in connection with the conversion of each group of Assessment Bonds (95-2) to Fixed Rate Bonds pursuant to the Original 95-2 Agreement, the City may, subject to the requirements of the Act, by Supplemental Agreement, establish one or more Series of Bonds, but only upon compliance by the City with the provisions of the Original 95-2 Agreement.

Assuming timely payment by the respective property owners of the obligations (including the Fixed Rate Reassessment installments) billed on the regular County property tax bills, and further assuming timely remittance by the County to the City of the amount of such Fixed Rate Reassessment installments thereby collected, the City will have sufficient funds from the Fixed Rate Reassessment installments to make timely payment to the Fiscal Agent of each March 2 interest payment and each September 2 principal and interest payment on the Fixed Rate Assessment Bonds, as the same become due and payable. See "SPECIAL RISK FACTORS" herein for a discussion of factors which could affect the collection of Fixed Rate Reassessment installments. THE SERIES B BONDS ARE LIMITED OBLIGATIONS OF THE AUTHORITY AND ARE PAYABLE SOLELY FROM THE REVENUES AND OTHER AMOUNTS PLEDGED UNDER THE INDENTURE. THE SERIES B BONDS DO NOT CONSTITUTE A DEBT OR LIABILITY OF THE CITY OR OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, AND NEITHER THE FAITH AND CREDIT NOR THE TAXING POWER OF THE CITY OR THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, OR ANY POLITICAL SUBDIVISION THEREOF, IS PLEDGED TO THE PAYMENT OF THE PRINCIPAL OF OR IlVTEREST ON THE SERIES B BONDS. Payments of Assessment Bonds The Assessment Bonds (95-1) and the Group One Bonds are secured by unpaid 95-1 Reassessments and the Group One Reassessments, respectively, levied against private property within Reassessment District No. 1 and upon the Group One Designated Panels, respectively, pursuant to the Act. Such unpaid 95-1 Reassessments and the Group One Reassessments, respectively (together with interest thereon) and moneys in the respective Redemption Fund established for the Assessment Bonds (95-1) and the Group One Bonds constitute a trust fund for the redemption and payment of the principal of premium, if any, and interest on the Assessment Bonds (95-1) and the Group One Bonds, respectively. Principal o� premium, if any, and interest on the Assessment Bonds (95-1) and the Group One Bonds are payable exclusively out of the respective Redemption Funds established under the respective Fiscal Agent Agreements. Pursuant to the 95-1 Fiscal Agent Agreement, a Reserve Fund has been established for the Assessment Bonds (95-1) in the amount of S , and 13 DOCS LAI -215774.3/4mhg03! 42081-2-WEJ-08/20/97 pursuant to the 95-2 Fiscal Agent Agreement, a Reserve Account within the Reserve Fund has been established for the Group One Bonds in the amount of $ . Transfers shall be made pursuant to the respective Fiscal Agent Agreement from the related Reserve Fund or Reserve Account to the related Redemption Fund in the event of a deficiency in such Redemption Fund. The amount so advanced will be reimbursed to the Reserve Fund or Reserve Account, as applicable, from the proceeds of redemption or sale of the parcel for which payment or reimbursement of delinquent 95-1 Reassessment or Group One Reassessment was made from the Reserve Fund or Reserve Account, as applicable. If any 95-1 Reassessment or Group One Reassessment is prepaid before final maturity of the related Fixed Rate Assessment Bonds, the City is authorized by the applicable Fiscal Agent Agreement to reduce the amount in the Reserve Fund or Reserve Account, as applicable, and transfer to the applicable Prepayment Account an amount in the proportion in which the 95-1 Reassessment or Group One Reassessment prepaid bears to the total original unpaid 95-1 Reassessments or Group One Reassessments, as the case may be. THE ASSESSMENT BONDS ARE LIMITED OBLIGATIONS OF THE CITY, PAYABLE SOLELY FROM THE FIXED RATE REASSESSMENTS AND THE OTHER ASSETS PLEDGED THEREFOR UNDER THE RESPECTIVE FISCAL AGENT AGREEMENTS. NEITHER THE FAITH AND CREDIT NOR THE TAXING POWER OF THE CITY OR THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, OR ANY POLITICAL SUBDIVISION THEREOF, IS PLEDGED TO THE PAYMENT OF THE FIXED RATE ASSESSMENT BONDS. The Fixed Rate Reassessments levied in the Fixed Rate Subject Area and each installment thereof and any interest and penalties thereon constitute liens against the parcels of land on which they are levied until the same are paid. The liens imposed in the Fixed Rate Subject Area are subordinate to fixed special assessment liens previously imposed upon the same property but have priority over existing and future private liens and over any fixed special assessment liens which hereafter be created against the property. Such liens are co -equal to and independent of the lien for general property taxes and special taxes. While there are no prior special assessment liens on any of the parcels of land in the Fixed Rate Subject Area, there are liens for special taxes and the recurring lien for general property taxes. See "THE FIXED RATE SUBJECT AREA - Estimated Direct and Overlapping Debt" herein. ALTHOUGH THE UNPAID FD(ED RATE REASSESSMENTS CONSTITUTE LIENS ON THE PARCELS OF LAND ASSESSED, THEY DO NOT CONSTITUTE A PERSONAL INDEBTEDNESS OF THE RESPECTIVE PROPERTY OWNERS. THERE IS NO ASSURANCE THAT PRESENT PROPERTY OWNERS WILL REMAIN THE PROPERTY OWNERS, THAT PROPERTY OWNERS WILL BE FINANCIALLY ABLE TO PAY THEIR REASSESSMENTS, OR THAT PROPERTY OWNERS WILL IN FACT PAY SUCH REASSESSMENT INSTALLMENTS EVEN THOUGH FINANCIALLY ABLE TO DO SO. Under provisions of the Act, Fixed Rate Reassessment installments sufficient to meet annual payments of principal of and interest on the Fixed Rate Assessment Bonds are to be collected on the regular property tax bills sent by the County Tax Collector to owners of the parcels of land against which there are unpaid Fixed Rate Reassessments. These annual installments are to be paid into the Redemption Funds for the Assessment Bonds (95-1) and the Group One Bonds, respectively, which will be held by the Fiscal Agent and used to pay the principal of and interest on the Assessment Bonds 14 D0CSLAI-215774.3/4mhg03! 42081-2-WEJ-08/20/97 (95-1) and the Group One Bonds, respectively, as they become due. The installment billed against each parcel of land within Reassessment District No. 95-1 or the Group One Designated Parcels each year represents a pro -rata share of the total principal and interest coming due on all of the Assessment Bonds (95-1) and the Group One Bonds, as the case may be, that year. The amount billed against each parcel of land within Reassessment District No. 95-1 or the Group One Designated Parcels is based on the percentage which the unpaid 95-1 Reassessment or Group One Reassessment, as the case may be, against the parcel bears to the total of unpaid 95-1 Reassessments or Group One Reassessment, as the case may be, within Reassessment District No. 95-1 or the Group One Designated Parcels, plus an administrative charge of the City. The failure of a property owner to pay an annual 95-1 Reassessment installment or Group One Reassessment installment, as the case may be, will not result in an increase in 95-1 Reassessment installments or Group One Reassessment installments, as the case may be, against other property in the 95-1 Reassessment District or Group One Designated Parcels, as the case may be. In the event of delinquencies of a certain amount respecting any installment of an unpaid Fixed Rate Reassessment, and with respect to all delinquencies in certain circumstances, as prescribed in each Fiscal Agent Agreement, the City has covenanted to institute superior court foreclosure proceedings to enforce payment of such delinquencies. See "Covenant for Superior Court Foreclosure" herein. Additional Bonds A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Group One Bonds will be used to purchase and cancel $ principal amount of Assessment Bonds (95-2) and to reissue such bonds as Group One Fixed Rate Bonds. Pursuant to the 95-2 Fiscal Agent Agreement, the Series One Bonds are being issued as Related Additional Bonds and will be secured on an equal basis with the Group One Fixed Rate Bonds by the Group One Designated Parcels. The 95-2 Fiscal Agent Agreement provides that additional Assessment Bonds (95-2) may be converted to a Fixed Interest Rate and Related Additional Bonds may be issued in connection with the reissuance of such Fixed Rate Bonds. Such Related Additional Bonds and Fixed Rate Bonds would be secured by 95-2 Reassessments on parcels within Reassessment District No. 95-2, other than the Group One Designated Parcels, and would be purchased by the Authority with the proceeds of Additional Bonds to be issued pursuant to the Indenture. All Bonds issued under the Indenture, including any such Additional Bonds, are secured on a parity basis by all Revenues derived from payments to the Authority on all Assessment Bonds. However, no additional Assessment Bonds may be issued upon the security of the unpaid Fixed Rate Reassessments for the Fixed Rate Subject Area. See "THE FIXED RATE BONDS - Additional Authority Bonds" and "APPENDIX A: SUMMARY OF INDENTURE AND FISCAL AGENT AGREEMENTS." Covenant for Superior Court Foreclosure If a delinquency occurs in the payment of any Fixed Rate Reassessment installment securing any Fixed Rate Assessment Bonds, the Fiscal Agent will have a duty only to transfer into the related Redemption Fund from the related Reserve Fund or Reserve Account (but only to the extent funds are available therein) the amount necessary to pay principal of or interest on such Fixed Rate Assessment Bonds when due. There is no assurance that sufficient funds will be available in the Reserve Fund or Reserve Account, as the case may be, for the Assessment Bonds (95-1) or the Group One Bonds, as 15 DOCSLAI-215774.3/4mhg03! 42081-2-W EJ -08/20/97 applicable, for this purpose. The City has determined, pursuant to Section 8769 of the California Streets and Highways Code, that it will not obligate itself to advance funds from its treasury to cover any delinquency on the Fixed Rate Reassessments or payments on the Fixed Rate Assessment Bonds. The City has covenanted in the Fiscal Agent Agreements that it will within 150 days of a delinquency in the payment of Fixed Rate Reassessments, or interest thereon, or amounts to pay the Continuing Costs of the Bonds, forthwith undertake and diligently prosecute foreclosure proceedings in the manner prescribed in the Act to collect such delinquent amounts; provided, however, that if the amount collected is greater than 92.5% of the installment of the Fixed Rate Reassessment and interest thereon, and amounts to pay the Continuing Costs of the Bonds, to be collected, the City shall not be required to undertake such foreclosure proceedings, unless it is determined that any single property owner is delinquent in excess of $25,000 in the payment of such amounts in which case it shall diligently institute, prosecute and pursue such foreclosure proceedings against such property owner as set forth herein. Upon the redemption or sale of the real property responsible for such delinquencies, the City shall deposit in the Reserve Fund established with respect to the Assessment Bonds (95-1) or the Reserve Account established with respect to the Group One Bonds, as applicable, from the net proceeds of such redemption or sale, the amount of any delinquency advanced therefrom pursuant to the applicable Fiscal Agent Agreement; provided, however, that if and to the extent that any such deposit would cause the amount on deposit in the Reserve Fund or Reserve Account, as applicable, to exceed the Reserve Requirement therefor, such excess shall be deposited in the applicable Redemption Fund. The balance, if any, of such redemption or sale proceeds shall be disbursed as set forth in the judgment of foreclosure or as required by law. Even though foreclosure is commenced and diligently prosecuted in accordance with the City's covenant of foreclosure, neither the City nor the Authority can be assured that, in the event such foreclosure progresses to the point of a foreclosure sale, there will be any bidder for the subject parcel or parcels. While the City presently believes that each of the parcels in the Fixed Rate Subject Area has sufficient value to assure meaningful bidding at such foreclosure sale, there is no assurance that such present value will not decline in the future, and neither the City nor the Authority is obligated to be a bidder at such foreclosure sale. In the absence of any outside bidder, the foreclosure sale may not produce money to the City in satisfaction of its foreclosure judgment from which to pay the principal of or the interest on the Assessment Bonds (95-1) or Group One Bonds, as applicable. See "SPECIAL RISK FACTORS." Priority of Lien The unpaid Fixed Rate Reassessments and each installment thereof and any interest and penalties thereon constitute alien against each of the respective parcels within the Fixed Rate Subject Area until the same are paid. Such lien is subordinate to all special assessment or reassessment liens previously imposed upon the same property, but has priority over all private liens and over all special assessment or reassessment liens which may thereafter be created against the same property. However, such lien will be on a parity with the lien of general property taxes and any special taxes imposed, whether prior to the date hereof or in the future, against parcels within the Fixed Rate Subject Area 16 D0CSLAI-215774.3/4mhg03! 42081-2-WEJ-08/20/97 pursuant to the Mello -Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982, as amended (the "Mello -Roos Act"), or other applicable legislation. While there are no prior special assessment liens on any of the parcels of land in the Fixed Rate Subject Area, there are liens for special taxes and the recurring lien for general property taxes. See "THE FIXED RATE SUBJECT AREA - Estimated Direct and Overlapping Debt" herein. [BOND INSURANCE Concurrently with the issuance of the Series B Bonds, Financial Security Assurance Inc. ("Financial Security") will issue its Municipal Bond Insurance Policy for the Series B Bonds (the "Policy"). The Policy unconditionally guarantees the payment of that portion of the principal of and interest on the Series B Bonds that has become due for payment, but shall be unpaid by reason of nonpayment by the Authority. On the later of the day on which such principal and interest is due or on the business day next following the business day on which Financial Security shall have received notice by telephone or telecopy, subsequently confirmed in a signed writing, or written notice by registered or certified mail, from an Owner of Series B Bonds, the Fiscal Agent or the Paying Agent (as defined in the Policy), of the nonpayment of such amount by the Authority, Financial Security will disburse such amount due on any Series B Bonds to the Fiscal Agent or the Paying Agent, for the benefit of the Owners or, at the election of Financial Security, directly to each Owner, in either case upon receipt by Financial Security in form reasonably satisfactory to it of (a) evidence of the Owner's right to receive payment of the principal and interest that is due for payment and (b) evidence, including any appropriate instruments of assignment, that all of such Owner's fights to payment of such principal and interest shall be vested in Financial Security. The term "nonpayment" in respect of a Series B Bond includes any payment of principal or interest that is insured by Financial Security made to an Owner of a Series B Bond that has been recovered from such Owner pursuant to the United States Bankruptcy Code by a trustee in bankruptcy in accordance with a final, nonappealable order of a court having competent jurisdiction. The Policy is non -cancelable and the premium will be fully paid at the time of delivery of the Series B Bonds. The Policy covers failure to pay principal of the Series B Bonds on their respective stated maturity dates, or dates on which the same shall have been duly called for mandatory sinking fund redemption, and not on any other date on which the Series B Bonds may have been called for redemption, acceleration or other advancement of maturity, unless Financial Security shall elect, in its sole discretion, to pay such principal due upon acceleration together with any interest accrued to the date of acceleration, and covers the failure to pay an installment of interest on the stated date for its payment. Payment by Financial Security of principal due upon acceleration and interest accrued to the accelerated maturity date (to the extent unpaid by the Authority) shall fully discharge Financial Security's obligations under the Policy. Financial Security may appoint a fiscal agent (the "Insurer's Fiscal Agent") for purposes of the Policy by giving written notice to the Fiscal Agent specifying the name and notice address of the Insurer's Fiscal Agent. From and after the date of receipt of such notice by the Fiscal Agent and the Paying Agent, (i) copies of all notices required to be delivered to Financial Security pursuant to the Policy shall be simultaneously delivered to the Insurer's Fiscal Agent and to Financial Security and shall not be deemed received until received by both and (ii) all payments required to be made by Financial 17 DOCSLAI -215774.3/4mhg03! 42081-2-WEJ-08/20/97 Security under the Policy may be made directly by Financial Security or by the Insurer's Fiscal Agent on behalf of Financial Security. The Insurer's Fiscal Agent is the agent of Financial Security only and the Insurer's Fiscal Agent shall in no event be liable to Owners of the Series B Bonds for any acts of the Insurer's Fiscal Agent or any failure of Financial Security to deposit or cause to be deposited sufficient funds to make payments due under the Policy. Under the Policy, Financial Security will, to the extent permitted by applicable law, waive, only for the benefit of the Owners of Series B Bonds, all rights and defenses that might otherwise have been available to Financial Security to avoid payment of its obligations under the Policy in accordance with its terms.

Said amount of each reassessment was calculated for each of the individual parcels of land within the Fixed Rate Subject Area in proportion to the unpaid existing assessment or reassessment on each such parcel. The amount of each of the reassessments levied, identified by reassessment number, is shown in the Reassessment Report for the Fixed Rate Subject Area, which report is on file in the office of the Public Works Director of the City. 19 D0CSLAI-215774.3/4mhg03! 42081-2-WEJ-08/20/97 THE FIXED RATE SUBJECT AREA General In legal proceedings concluded in 1986, the City established Assessment District No. 85-1 ("AD. 85-1"), then comprised of 19 assessed parcels covering a total area of approximately 522 acres. AD. 85-1 is bounded by the Santa Ana Freeway (Interstate 5), Browning Avenue, Irvine Boulevard and Jamboree Road. In legal proceedings concluded in 1988, the City established Assessment District No. 86-2 ("AD. 86-2" and together with A.D. 85-1, the "Prior Districts"), then comprised of 56 assessed parcels covering a total area of approximately 2,260 acres, 1,440 of which were within the City boundary and the remaining portion of which were located primarily in an unincorporated area of the County (to the northeast of the City), with a small portion of A.D. 86-2 falling within the southeastern border of the City of Orange. A.D. 86-2 is bounded by Irvine Boulevard, Tustin Ranch Road, Santiago Canyon Road, and Jamboree Road. In August, 1986, the City issued $50,650,000 principal amount of variable rate improvement bonds for A.D. 85-1, and in September, 1988, the City issued $81,400,000 principal amount of variable rate improvement bonds for A.D. 86-2. The proceeds of both issues have been used to fund the design and construction of public improvements within the Prior Districts, including streets and other traffic access and control facilities, drainage facilities, and utility improvements. The respective Indentures of Trust (collectively, the "Prior Indentures") pursuant to which the variable rate improvement bonds of the Prior Districts (collectively, the "Prior Variable Rate Bonds") were issued each provided for the conversion of a portion of the Prior Bonds to a fixed rate mode (collectively, the "Prior Fixed Rate Bonds") upon the occurrence of certain events prescribed by the Prior Indentures (primarily, the transfer to third parties of title to portions of the assessed property by The Irvine Company, the owner of substantially all of the assessed property at the time of issuance of the Prior Variable Rate Bonds). The Prior Indentures and related legal documents for the Prior Districts also provided for conversion to a fixed rate of the unpaid assessments on those certain parcels (the "Prior Fixed Rate Parcels"), the conveyance of which caused the conversion of the subject portion of the Prior Variable Rate Bonds into the Prior Fixed Rate Bonds. Reassessment District 95-1 consists of all Prior Fixed Rate Parcels from the Prior Districts which had an unpaid reassessment. The 95-1 Reassessments are levied within Reassessment District No. 95-1 by the City Council under the proceedings taken pursuant to Resolution No. 95-1, adopted by the City Council on November 11, 1995. Reassessment District No. 95-2 consists of all those parcels from the Prior Districts which had an unpaid reassessment securing Prior Variable Rate Bonds that had not been so converted to Prior Fixed Rate Bonds. The Group One Designated Parcels consist only of those parcels from Reassessment District No. 95-2, the assessments on which are now being converted to fixed assessments. The 95-2 Reassessments are levied on the parcels in Reassessment District No. 95-2 by the City Council under the proceedings take pursuant to Resolution No. 96-10, adopted by the City Council on January 15, 1996. Of the $132,050,000 principal amount of Prior Variable Rate Bonds, $53,024,000 have been converted to Prior Fixed Rate Bonds, of which $50,400,000 remained outstanding and were redeemed on March 2, 1996 from the proceeds of sale of the Series A Bonds and other available funds. 20 D0CSLAI-215774.3/4mhg03! 42081-2-W EJ -08/20/97 Status of Public Improvements Designated Parcels The public improvements financed with the proceeds of the Prior Bonds are substantially complete. [The only remaining improvements necessary to enable the remaining undeveloped property in the Fixed Rate Subject Area to be developed are in -tract improvements to certain specific parcels which will be the responsibility of the developer of such specific parcel or parcels. Examples of such in -tract improvements are local streets; curb, gutters and sidewalk; traffic control signage and striping, street lights; landscaping; water distribution lines and appurtenances, sanitary sewer laterals, collection lines and appurtenances; and underground gas, electric, telephone and cable television facilities.] [With the exception of school facilities to be developed by the Tustin Unified School District, no additional major infrastructure such as arterial streets, parks, fire stations, or libraries are required or anticipated for the full development of the remaining undeveloped property in the Fixed Rate Subject Area, and construction of such school facilities is not a condition precedent to issuance of building permits for any of such remaining undeveloped property in the Fixed Rate Subject Area.] Location and Terrain of the Fixed Rate Subject Area The City is located in central Orange County, about 40 miles southeast of Los Angeles and 80 miles north of San Diego. The City spans approximately 11.2 square miles and adjoins the cities of Irvine, Orange and Santa Ana. The combined area of the Prior Districts, of which the Fixed Rate Subject Area is a part, is approximately 2,782 acres and is located along the east side of the City, extending generally in a southwest -to -northeast band approximately 3/4ths of a mile wide, from the Santa Ana Freeway (Interstate 5) to Santiago Canyon Road, a distance of approximately 6 miles. The Fixed Rate Subject Area consists of approximately acres. The terrain is relatively flat, extending gently uphill toward the northeast, and transitioning to gently rolling hills in the last mile. Land Uses and Development Status The following Table 1 illustrates the land use categories of the reassessed parcels in the Fixed Rate Subject Area. As used in Table 1, the term "developed" means that at least one structure has been constructed on the parcel, which has been assigned improvement assessed value by the County Assessor. The developed portion of the reassessed property represents approximately 85% of the total number of reassessed parcels and approximately 80% of the unpaid reassessments on the reassessed property. 21 D0CSLA1-215774.3/4mhg03! 42081-2-WEJ-08/20/97 TABLE I CITY OF TUSTIN Fixed Rate Subject Area Parcel Totals For Each Modified Land Use Sorted by Fixed Rate Reassessment Amount Total Adjusted Parcels Total Value Developed Residential Undeveloped Residential Developed Commercial) Undeveloped Other TOTALS") (') May not add due to rounding.

Direct and Overlapping Debt Community Facilities District No. 88-1 The Tustin Unified School District has formed its Community Facilities District No. 88-1 ("CFD No. 88-1") pursuant to the Mello -Roos Act, encompassing a major portion of the land within the Reassessment District, to provide financing for school facilities. CFD No. 88-1 initially authorized the issuance of bonded debt (the "Mello -Roos Bonds") in the amount of $103 million and the levy of special taxes against the property in CFD No. 88-1 to pay for debt service on the Mello -Roos Bonds, for certain costs of providing school facilities and sites, and for related incidental expenses. CFD No. 88-1 has since reduced the initial authorization of Mello -Roos Bonds to $63,000,000. CFD No. 88-1 has issued $24,405,000 of the Mello -Roos Bonds pursuant to such authorization. The lien securing payment of the special taxes to be levied from year to year upon the parcels within CFD No. 88-1 will be on a parity with the lien securing payment of the Fixed Rate Reassessments. See "SECURITY FOR THE BONDS - Priority of Lied' herein. Property within CFD No. 88-1 for which no building permit has been issued is, for purposes of the special tax formula, determined to be undeveloped property. The minimum annual special tax that may be levied on undeveloped property for fiscal year 1997-98 in CFD No. 88-1 is $142.33 per acre; 26 D0CSLAI-215774.3/4mhg03! 42081-2-WEJ-08/20/97 the maximum annual special tax that may be levied on undeveloped property is $163.88 per acre. Residential property within CFD No. 88-1 for which a building permit has been issued is, for purposes of the special tax formula, determined to be developed property. The special tax on developed property within CFD No. 88-1 is a function of the density of the development. Based on current development plans, the minimum special tax that may be levied in any particular year on residential units within the Fixed Rate Subject Area is $377.18 per unit for fiscal year 1997-98, increasing to $392.26 per unit for fiscal year 1998-99, with an annual four percent escalation if required. The final maturity on the Mello -Roos Bonds is September 1, 2017. Based on current development plans, the maximum special tax that may be levied in any particular year on residential units within the Fixed Rate Subject Area is $1,221.06 per unit for fiscal year 1995-96, increasing to $1,269.90 per unit for fiscal years 1998-1999 through 2017-2018. The special tax formula for CFD No. 88-1 specifies that for each year through and including fiscal year 1998-1999, the special tax will be levied at a rate no lower than the minimum special tax. The special tax formula specifies that, for fiscal years 1999-2000 and thereafter, subject to the exceptions stated therein, the special tax will be levied only in an amount necessary to insure payment of debt service on the outstanding Mello -Roos Bonds issued through fiscal year 1999-2000. Commencing in fiscal year 1999-2000, the special tax will be levied on undeveloped land only to the extent that sufficient funds are not generated through the maximum special tax levy on developed property and may not exceed $170.23 per acre. Because the amount of the special tax levy on a particular parcel in CFD No. 88-1 in any yearwill vary not only based on the status of the remaining parcels as developed or undeveloped property, but also based on the density of the remaining parcels that are developed property, such parcel's proportionate share of the obligations of CFD No. 88-1 cannot be determined with certainty prior to development of all of the property in CFD No. 88-1. Prior to such time, the most meaningful figure for ascertaining the burden that may be imposed on a parcel in any year for CFD No. 88-1 obligations is probably the amount of the maximum special tax that may be levied on such parcel. The City cannot predict the extent to which CFD No. 88-1 will issue its authorized but currently unissued debt, the timing of any such issuance or the effect that the issuance of any such debt may have on the ratio of the total direct and overlapping debt to the appraised value of the Fixed Rate Subject Area at the time the debt is issued. Irvine Ranch Water District As shown on Table 6, the Irvine Ranch Water District "IRWD") has created two improvement districts, I.D. No. 105 and I.D. No. 250 (collectively, the "IRWD Improvement Districts"), that overlap the Reassessment District. IRWD has sold bonds on behalf of I.D. No. 105 to provide regional and local water supply, storage, transmission and distribution facilities to serve residential and commercial development in such improvement districts. IRWD has sold bonds on behalf of I.D. No. 250 to provide reclaimed water supply and sewage collection, treatment and disposal facilities for residential and commercial development within such improvement districts. In addition to the outstanding bonded debt of $109,533,538 reflected on the following schedule, the two IRWD Improvement Districts have a total of $349,620,000 in authorized but unissued bonded debt. The Fixed Rate Subject Area's share of outstanding debt of the two IRWD Improvement Districts is approximately $ . The Fixed Rate Subject Area's share of the authorized but unissued 27 DOCSLAI-215774.3/4mhg03! 42081-2-WEJ-08/20/97 debt of the two IRWD Improvement Districts is approximately S . The IRWD Improvement Districts' Bonds are general obligation bonds payable from ad valorem taxes; the amount of the tax levy on each parcel is based on the assessed valuation of the land only. If, as property is developed and sold within the Fixed Rate Subject Area, and the assessed valuation of such parcels increases disproportionately to other parcels in the IRWD Improvement Districts, then such parcels' share of the debt of the IRWD Improvement Districts would increase. The City cannot predict the amount of authorized but unissued bonds for the IRWD Improvement Districts that will ultimately be issued by IRWD, nor can it predict when such debt would be issued or the debt service payments thereon. Estimated Debt Set forth in Table 6 is the existing authorized indebtedness payable from taxes and assessments that may be levied on property within the Fixed Rate Subject Area. No additional Fixed Rate Assessment Bonds can be issued upon the security of the unpaid Fixed Rate Reassessments for the Fixed Rate Subject Area. However, other public agencies may issue additional indebtedness on property within the Fixed Rate Subject Area at any time.

EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE INDICATED, THE OWNERS OF THE PROPERTY WITHIN THE FIXED RATE SUBJECT AREA HAVE PROVIDED THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION REGARDING OWNERSHIP AND PLANNED DEVELOPMENT OF FIXED RATE SUBJECT AREA NO ASSURANCE CAN BE GIVEN THAT THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT WILL OCCUR OR THAT THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT WILL OCCUR IN A TIMELY MANNER- NO ANNERNO REPRESENTATION IS MADE AS TO THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF SUCH INFORMATION PROVIDED BY THE PROPERTY OWNERS. The Irvine Company. The Irvine Company (the "Irvine Company") [describe ownership status within Fixed Rate Subject Area], and has sold most of the parcels in the Fixed Rate Subject Area to various merchant builders. The Fixed Rate Reassessments are not personal obligations of the Irvine Company or any other owner of the parcels in the Fixed Rate Subject Area, and neither the Irvine Company nor any such other owner is obligated in any manner to continue to own any of such parcels it presently owns. The Irvine Company is an integrated real estate firm engaged in the development of large-scale residential communities and commercial business centers on the Irvine Ranch in the County. The Irvine Company owns 93 income-producing projects which include retail, office, industrial, hotel, golf course, and marina properties, making it one of the largest private real estate owners in the Unites States. The Irvine Company also owns 54,600 contiguous acres of land on the Irvine Ranch with the necessary entitlements to provide for another generation of housing and commercial development. The Irvine Company's business strategy is to convert its land holdings and earnings into commercial properties for long-term ownership. [Describe any plans of The Irvine Company regarding development of property in Fixed Rate Subject Area]. The Irvine Company's development plan for parcels in the Fixed Rate Subject Area is and has been to develop the parcels to the stage of completed merchant builder pads. Except in certain cases, the Irvine Company has no intention to develop, and will not have any responsibility for developing any parcels in the Fixed Rate Subject Area, beyond the stage of completed merchant builder pads. Except in certain cases, any such development of such completed merchant pads will be undertaken only by the persons or entities purchasing from the Irvine Company. Lewis Homes.

Parcels Issued Sold Selling Price Total The majority of the parcels owned by the merchant builders describe above are vacant. The above description of development is based on information provided to the by the merchant builders referred to above. Except to the limited extent indicated above, neither such merchant builders nor any other purchaser or potential purchaser of any portion of the Fixed Rate Subject Area has provided the City with any information about its development plan, its financing for such plan, its experience or its abilities, nor have such merchant builders or any other such purchaser or potential purchaser participated in any other way in the issuance of the Group One Bonds or the Series B Bonds. Furthermore, the City has not made, and will not make, any investigation of such merchant builders or any other purchaser or potential purchaser of portions of the property within the Fixed Rate Subject Area. Therefore, no representation is made herein as to the experience, abilities or financial resources of such merchant builders or any other such purchasers or potential purchasers or as to the likelihood that such merchant builders or any other such purchasers or potential purchasers will be successful in developing the purchased portions of the Fixed Rate Subject Area. Purchasers of the Series B Bonds should not assume that such merchant builders or any other persons or entities that purchase portions of the Fixed Rate Subject Area from the Irvine Company will have the experience, abilities or financial resources necessary to successfully develop such property beyond the stage of development reached by the Irvine Company. SPECIAL RISK FACTORS The following information should be considered by prospective investors in evaluating the Series B Bonds. However, it does not purport to be an exhaustive listing of the risks and other considerations which may be relevant to an investment in the Series B Bonds. In addition, the order in which the following information is presented is not intended to reflect the relative importance of any such risks. If any risk factor materializes to a sufficient degree, it alone could delay or preclude payment of principal of or interest on the Series B Bonds or both. 33 D0CSLA1-213774.3/4mhg03! 42081-2-WFJ-08/20/97 The Series B Bonds are Limited Obligations of the Authori Funds for the payment of the principal of and the interest on the Series B Bonds are ultimately derived only from annual Fixed Rate Reassessment installments. While a modest coverage factor has been established in structuring the annual Fixed Rate Reassessment amounts (see "THE FIXED RATE SUBJECT AREA - Debt Service Coverage - TABLE 6" herein), the amount of annual Fixed Rate Reassessment installments that are collected by the City could be insufficient to pay principal of and interest on the Series B Bonds due to non-payment of such annual Fixed Rate Reassessment installments levied or due to insufficient proceeds received from a judicial foreclosure sale of land within the Fixed Rate Subject Area following delinquency. The City's legal obligations with respect to any delinquent Fixed Rate Reassessment installments are limited to (1) payments from the Reserve Fund or Reserve Account (depending on the location of the delinquent parcel) to the extent of funds on deposit therein, and (2) the institution of judicial foreclosure proceedings with respect to any parcels for which the Fixed Rate Reassessment installment is delinquent (see "SECURITY FOR THE SERIES B BONDS - Covenant for Superior Court Foreclosure" herein). The City has determined that it will not obligate itself to advance funds from its treasury to cover any delinquency on the Fixed Rate Reassessments or payments on the Fixed Rate Assessment Bonds. The Series B Bonds cannot be accelerated in the event of any default. The Reassessments are Not Personal Obligations of the Property Owners Under the provisions of the Act, Fixed Rate Reassessment installments will be billed to the owner of each parcel in the Fixed Rate Subject Area against which there is an unpaid Fixed Rate Reassessment, such billing to be made on the regular property tax bills sent to such owners. Such Fixed Rate Reassessment installments are due and payable at the same time and bear the same late charges and penalties as for non-payment of regular property tax installments. The obligation to pay Fixed Rate Reassessment installments does not constitute a personal obligation of the current or subsequent owners of the respective parcels which are subject to the Fixed Rate Reassessment liens. Enforcement of the payment obligation by the City is limited to judicial foreclosure in the Orange County Superior Court pursuant to Sections 8830 and following of the California Streets and Highways Code. There is no assurance that any current or subsequent owner of a parcel subject to a Fixed Rate Reassessment lien will be able to pay the Fixed Rate Reassessment installments or that such owner will choose to pay such installments even though financially able to do so. The Assessment Bonds are Limited Obligations of the City The obligation of the City, as issuer of the Fixed Rate Assessment Bonds, to advance the amount of delinquencies to the Trustee, as the registered holder of the Assessment Bonds, is strictly limited to funds on deposit in the Reserve Fund or Reserve Account established and held by the City pursuant to the respective Fiscal Agent Agreements. Pursuant to Section 8769 of the California Streets and Highways Code, the City has expressly elected not to obligate itself to advance available funds from the City's treasury to make up deficiencies in the amount of Fixed Rate Reassessment installments collected. 34 D0CSLAI-215774.3/4mhg03! 42081-2-WEJ-08/20/97 Sustained failure by property owners to pay Fixed Rate Reassessment installments when due, combined with depletion of the Reserve Fund or Reserve Account, or both, and the inability of the City to sell parcels which have become subject to judicial foreclosure proceedings for amounts sufficient to cover the delinquent Fixed Rate Reassessment installments, will most likely result in the inability of the City to make full or punctual payments of interest on or principal of the Assessment Bonds (95-1) or the Group One Bonds, or both, which could result in a default on the Fixed Rate Bonds. Bankruptcy and Foreclosure Delays The payment of Fixed Rate Reassessment installments and the ability of the City to foreclose the lien of a delinquent Fixed Rate Reassessment is normally delayed by and may be limited in other ways by bankruptcy, insolvency, or other laws generally affecting creditors' rights or by State law relating to judicial foreclosure. In addition, the prosecution of a judicial foreclosure may be delayed due to congested local court calendars or procedural delays. The various legal opinions to be delivered concurrently with the delivery of the Series B Bonds (including Bond Counsel's approving legal opinion) will be qualified as to the enforceability of the various legal instruments, including the Series B Bonds, by bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally. Although bankruptcy proceedings would not cause the Reassessments to become extinguished, bankruptcy of a property owner could result in a delay in prosecuting judicial foreclosure proceedings and could result in delinquent Fixed Rate Reassessment installments not being paid in full. Such a delay would increase the likelihood of a delay or default in payment of the principal of and interest on the Series B Bonds. The City's ability to enforce the lien of a Fixed Rate Reassessment installment and to foreclose the lien of a delinquent Fixed Assessment Installment, is limited with regard to properties in which the Internal Revenue Service, the Drug Enforcement Agency, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC") or other similar federal government agencies has or obtains an interest. On June 4, 1991, the FDIC issued a Statement of Policy Regarding the Payment of State and Local Property Taxes (the "Policy Statement"). The Policy Statement provides that the FDIC intends to pay its property tax obligations as they come due and to pay claims for delinquencies as promptly as is consistent with sound business practice and the orderly administration of the institution's affairs. It may decline to pay property tax claims in situations where abandonment of its interest in the property is appropriate. The Policy Statement also provides that real property owned by the FDIC is subject to state and local real property taxes if those taxes are assessed according to the property's value, but that the FDIC is immune from real property taxes assessed on other bases. The Policy Statement further provides that: "If any property taxes (including interest) on FDIC owned property are secured by a valid lien (in effect before the property became owned by the FDIC), the FDIC will pay those claims. With respect to property not owned by the FDIC, but in which the FDIC has alien interest, any property taxes (including interest) secured by a valid lien with priority over the FDIC's lien interest will be paid. 35 D0CSLAI-215774.3/4mhg03! 42081-2-WEJ-08/20/97 However, if abandonment of its interest in the property is appropriate, the FDIC may elect not to pay such claims." The Policy Statement is unclear as to whether taxes such as the Fixed Rate Reassessment levied by the City are considered to be "real property taxes" which are intended to be paid. Moreover, the Policy Statement provides that, with respect to parcels owned by the FDIC or in which the FDIC holds a mortgage lien, it will not permit a foreclosure by a taxing authority without its specific consent and will not pay or recognize liens for any penalties, fines or similar claims imposed for the nonpayment of taxes, whether arising before or after acquisition of the parcel in question, nor will it pay attorneys' costs incurred by a taxing authority or other person in pursuing a tax claim. The City is unable to predict what effect the application of the Policy Statement would have in the event of a delinquency with respect to a parcel in the Fixed Rate Subject Area in which the FDIC has an interest, although prohibiting the lien on the FDIC -owned property to be foreclosed on at a judicial foreclosure sale would likely reduce the number of or eliminate the persons willing to purchase such a parcel at a foreclosure sale. Owners of the Series B Bonds should assume that the City will be unable to foreclose on any parcel in the Fixed Rate Subject Area owned by the FDIC. Such an outcome would cause a draw on the Reserve Fund or Reserve Account and perhaps, ultimately, a default in payment of the Series B Bonds. The City has not undertaken to determine whether the FDIC currently has, or is likely to acquire, any interest in any of the parcels in the Fixed Rate Subject Area, and therefore expresses no view concerning the likelihood that the risks described above will materialize while the Series B Bonds are outstanding. Existence of Undeveloped Prove Approximately % of the Fixed Rate Reassessments are secured by liens on undeveloped property, and the average value -to -lien ratio for such undeveloped property is :1 (see "THE FIXED RATE SUBJECT AREA - Development Status - TABLE 1" herein). The undeveloped property consists primarily of subdivided lots which are owned by developers or merchant builders who intend to develop the property for single family residential use (see "THE FIXED RATE SUBJECT AREA - Zoning Classifications for Undeveloped Property - TABLE 3" herein). There may be subsequent transfers of ownership of the undeveloped property prior to completion of development. Failure of the owners of undeveloped property to pay the Fixed Rate Reassessment installments when due could result in a default in the payments of principal of and interest on the Assessment Bonds (95- 1) or the Group One Bonds, which could result in the inability of the Authority to make payments of the principal of and interest on the Series B Bonds. Price Realized Upon Foreclosure Section 8832 of the California Streets and Highways Code (the "Streets and Highways Code") prescribes the minimum price (the "Minimum Price") at which property may be sold in a judicial foreclosure resulting from delinquencies on reassessment installments. The Minimum Price is the amount equal to the delinquent installments of principal and interest of the reassessment, together with all interest, penalties, costs, fees, charges and other amounts more fully detailed in said Section 8832. However, Section 8836 of the Streets and Highways Code provides that the court may authorize a sale a less than the Minimum Price if the court makes certain determinations, based on the evidence 36 DOCSLAI-215774.3/4mhg03! 42081-2-W EJ -08/20/97 introduced at the required hearing, which evidence must establish that no ultimate loss will result to the Bondholders or that no other remedy is acceptable and at least 75% of the Bondholders' consent. The Fixed Rate Reassessment lien upon property sold pursuant to this procedure at a lesser price than the Minimum Price shall be reduced by the difference between the Minimum Price and the actual sale price. In addition, the court shall perrrlit participation by the Authority, as owner of all of the Fixed Rate Assessment Bonds, in its consideration of the petition as necessary to it determination. Reference should be made to Section 8836 for the complete presentation of this provision. If foreclosure proceedings do not result in full collection of delinquent Fixed Rate Reassessments, it is possible that owners of the Series B Bonds may not receive payment of principal of or interest on the Series B Bonds. Uncertainties of Future Development The motivation of the present or future owners of the undeveloped property in the Fixed Rate Subject Area may be diminished in the event significant delays are experienced in development efforts. However, further development of the lands located in the Fixed Rate Subject Area may be affected by changes in general economic conditions, fluctuations in the real estate market, changes in the ownership of the land, and other factors. In addition, any proposed development is subject to existing and future federal, state and local regulations. Approval may be required from various public agencies in connection with the design, nature and extent of the required public improvements, or such matters as land use and zoning. Failure to meet any such future regulations or obtain any such approvals in a timely manner could delay or adversely affect any proposed development of the parcels of land in the Fixed Rate Subject Area. The land within the Fixed Rate Subject Area is subject to a number of contingencies which could slow or prevent future development of the undeveloped land. Consequently, no assurance can be given that such development will be partially or fully completed, and in assessing the investment quality of the Series B Bonds, prospective purchasers should evaluate the risks of noncompletion, including but not limited to the following. (1) First, undeveloped land is less valuable than such land in a developed condition and provides less valuable security to the Series B Bondowners should it be necessary for the City to foreclose due to the nonpayment of Fixed Rate Reassessment installments which secure the Fixed Rate Assessment Bonds. (2) Second, if much of the land in the Fixed Rate Subject Area remains undeveloped, the number of likely purchasers at a foreclosure sale, in the event the City forecloses the lien of delinquent unpaid Fixed Rate Reassessment installments, is likely to be reduced. (3) Third, in addition to potentially reducing the ability and willingness of the landowners to pay Fixed Rate Reassessment installments, a slowdown of the economic development process in the region could adversely affect land values and reduce the proceeds received at a foreclosure sale in the event Fixed Rate Reassessment installments are not paid when due. 37 DOCSLAI-215774.3/4mhg03! 42081-2-WEJ-08/20/97 There can be no assurance that land development operations within the Fixed Rate Subject Area will not be adversely affected by future governmental policies, including, but not limited to, governmental policies to restrict or control development. Any event that significantly impacts the ability to develop land in the Fixed Rate Subject Area may cause the property values on undeveloped property to decrease substantially from the assessed values set forth herein and could affect the willingness and ability of the owners of the undeveloped property to pay the Fixed Rate Reassessment installments when due. Direct and Overlapping Indebtedness The ability or willingness of an owner of land within the Fixed Rate Subject Area to pay Fixed Rate Reassessment installments could be affected by the imposition of other taxes and assessments imposed upon the land. In addition, other public agencies whose boundaries overlap those of the Fixed Rate Subject Area could, without the consent of the City or the Authority, and in certain cases without the consent of the owners of the land within the Fixed Rate Subject Area, impose additional taxes or assessment liens on the property within the Fixed Rate Subject Area to finance public improvements or services to be located or provided inside of or outside of the Fixed Rate Subject Area. A statement of direct and overlapping indebtedness on land within the Fixed Rate Subject Area is included herein under the heading "FIXED RATE SUBJECT AREA - Estimated Direct and Overlapping Debt - TABLE 6". Earthquakes The land area comprising the Fixed Rate Subject Area is subject to unpredictable seismic activity. The occurrence of seismic activity in or around the Fixed Rate Subject Area could result in substantial damage to properties in the Fixed Rate Subject Area, which, in turn, could substantially reduce the value of such properties and could affect the willingness or ability of the property owners to pay their Reassessment installments when due. Drought Conditions California has recently experienced drought conditions, although rainfall in recent years has terminated the drought conditions throughout the State. Water service within the Fixed Rate Subject Area is provided by the Irvine Ranch Water District. While IRWD currently anticipates being able to supply water for existing and new development within its service area for the foreseeable future, there can be no assurance that any renewal of drought conditions will not adversely affect IRWD's ability to do so. Such failure could adversely affect the financial condition of the property owners and could slow or halt development efforts, thereby adversely affecting the willingness or the ability of the owners of undeveloped property to pay their Fixed Rate Reassessment installments when due. Land Values The value of land within the Fixed Rate Subject Area is an important factor in evaluating the investment quality of the Fixed Rate Bonds. In the event that a property owner defaults in the payment of a Fixed Rate Reassessment installment, the City's only remedy is to judicially foreclose on that property. Prospective purchasers of the Series B Bonds should not assume that the property within the 38 D0CSLAI-215774.3/4mhg03! 42081-2-WEJ-08/20/97 Fixed Rate Subject Area could be sold for the assessed amount described herein at a foreclosure sale for delinquent Reassessment installments or for an amount adequate to pay delinquent Reassessment installments. The property values set forth in the various tables herein are the property values determined by the County Assessor for property tax purposes. These assessed value determinations may be subject to an appeal by the property owner. Assessment appeals are annually filed with the County Assessment Appeals Board for a hearing and resolution. At the time of filing, applicants are required to estimate an opinion of value. The resolution of an appeal may result in a reduction to the County Assessor's original taxable value and a tax refund to the applicant/property owner. Any reduction in assessed taxable values of property within the Fixed Rate Subject Area would have an adverse impact on the value -to -lien ratios discussed in the tables herein. The actual market value of the property is subject to future events such as downturn in the economy, occurrences such as earthquakes, droughts or floods or other events, all of which could adversely impact the value of the land in the Fixed Rate Subject Area which is the security for the Fixed Rate Assessment Bonds which secure the Series B Bonds. As discussed herein, many factors could adversely affect property values or prevent or delay land development within the Fixed Rate Subject Area. Hazardous Substances The market value of the property in the Fixed Rate Subject Area is subject to diminution upon the future release or discovery thereon of a hazardous substance. In general, the owners and operators of a parcel may be required by law to remedy conditions relating to releases or threatened releases of hazardous substances. The federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, sometimes referred to as "CERCLA' or "Superfund Act", is the most well known and widely applicable of these laws, but California laws with regard to hazardous substances are also stringent and similar. Under many of these laws, the owner (or operator) is obligated to remedy a hazardous substance condition of property whether or not the owner (or operator) had anything to do with creating or handling the hazardous substance. The effect therefore, should any of the parcels be affected by a hazardous substance, is to reduce the marketability and value by the costs of remedying the condition, because the purchaser, upon becoming owner, will become obligated to remedy the condition just as is the seller. The value of the property within the Fixed Rate Subject Area, as set forth in the various tables herein, does not reflect the presence of any hazardous substance or the possible liability of the owner (or operator) for the remedy of a hazardous substance condition of the property. Neither the Authority nor the City has independently verified, and neither is aware, that the owner (or operator) of any of the parcels within the Fixed Rate Subject Area have such a current liability with respect to any such parcel. However, it is possible that such liabilities do currently exist and that neither the Authority nor the City is aware of them. Further, it is possible that liabilities may arise in the future with respect to any of the land within the Fixed Rate Subject Area resulting from the existence, currently, of a substance presently classified as hazardous but which has not been released or the release of which is not presently threatened, or 39 DOCSLAI-215774.3/4mhg03! 42081-2-W EJ -08/20/97 may arise in the future resulting from the existence, currently, on the parcel of a substance not presently classified as hazardous but which may in the future be so classified. Further, such liabilities may arise not simply from the existence of a hazardous substance but from the method of handling it. All of these possibilities could significantly adversely affect the value of a parcel and the willingness or ability of the owner of any parcel to pay the Reassessment installments when due. Endanzered and Threatened Species There is no known presence of any endangered or threatened species of animal or plant life within the area of the Fixed Rate Subject Area. Future discovery of any endangered or threatened species could delay or halt further development of the undeveloped property in the Fixed Rate Subject Area. Cumulative Burden of Parity Taxes, Special Assessments and Development Costs The Fixed Rate Reassessments and the annual installments thereon constitute alien against the parcels of land on which the Reassessments have been levied. Such lien is on a parity with all special taxes levied by other agencies and is co -equal to and independent of the lien for general property taxes, regardless of when they are imposed upon the same property. Approximately _% of the Fixed Rate Reassessments are on undeveloped land within the Fixed Rate Subject Area. Although most of the public improvements required for the development of this land has been completed, it is possible that additional improvements might be required, the cost of which could increase the public and private debt for which the undeveloped land within the Fixed Rate Subject Area is security. This increased debt could reduce the ability or willingness of the owners of the undeveloped property to pay the Fixed Rate Reassessment installments when due. Neither the City nor the Authority has control over the ability of other entities to issue indebtedness secured by special taxes or assessments payable from all or a portion of the property within the Fixed Rate Subject Area. In addition, the owners of property within the Fixed Rate Subject Area may, without the consent or knowledge of the City or the Authority, petition other public agencies to issue public indebtedness secured by special taxes or assessments. Any such special taxes may have alien on such property on a parity with the lien of the Fixed Rate Reassessments. Loss of Tax Exemption As discussed under the caption "CONCLUDING INFORMATION - Tax Matters" herein, the interest on the Series B Bonds could become includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes, retroactive to the date of issuance of the Series B Bonds, as a result of failure of the Authority or the City to comply with certain provisions of the Code. Should such an event of taxability occur, the Series B Bonds are not subject to early redemption and will remain outstanding to maturity or until redeemed under the optional or mandatory redemption or mandatory sinking fund redemption provisions of the Indenture. 40 D0CSLAI-215774.3/4mhg03! 42081-2-WEJ-08/20/97 California Constitution Article XIIIC and Article XHW On November 5, 1996, the voters of the State approved Proposition 218, the so-called 'Right to Vote on Taxes Act. Proposition 218 added Articles XIIIC and NM to the State Constitution, which contain a number of provisions affecting the ability of the Issuer to levy and collect both existing and future taxes, assessments, fees and charges. Article NHID requires that, beginning July 1, 1997, the proceedings for the levy of any assessment by the City under the Act (including, if applicable, any increase in such assessment or any supplemental assessment under the Act) must be conducted in conformity with the provisions of Section 4 of Article X111D. Because the City completed its proceedings for the levy of assessments in the Fixed Rate Subject Area on January 15, 1996, the City believes that the provisions of Section 4 of Article XMD do not apply to the unpaid Fixed Rate Reassessments which secure the Fixed Rate Assessment Bonds. Under Section 10400 of the Act, any challenge (including any constitutional challenge) to the proceedings or the assessment must be brought within 30 days after the date the assessment was levied. Article XIIIC removes limitations on the initiative power in matters of local taxes, assessments, fees and charges. Article XIIIC does not define the term "assessment", and it is unclear whether this term is intended to include assessments levied under the Act. Furthermore, this provision of Article X1IIC is not, by its terms, restricted in its application to assessments which were established or imposed on or after July 1, 1997. In the case of the unpaid Fixed Rate Reassessments which are pledged as security for payment of the Fixed Rate Assessment Bonds, the Act provides a mandatory, statutory duty of the City and the County Auditor to post installments on account of the unpaid 95-1 Reassessments or Group One Reassessments, as the case may be, to the property tax roll of the County each year while any of the Assessment Bonds (95-1) or Group One Bonds, as applicable, are outstanding, in amounts equal to the principal of and interest on the Assessment Bonds (95-1) or Group One Bonds, as applicable, coming due in the succeeding calendar year. The City believes that the initiative power cannot be used to reduce or repeal the unpaid Fixed Rate Reassessments which are pledged as security for payment of the Fixed Rate Assessment Bonds or to otherwise interfere with performance of the mandatory, statutory duty of the City and the County Auditor with respect to the unpaid Fixed Rate Reassessments which are pledged as security for payment of the Fixed Rate Assessment Bonds. The interpretation and application of the Proposition 218 will ultimately be determined by the courts with respect to a number of the matters discussed above, and it is not possible at this time to predict with certainty the outcome of such determination. THE AUTHORITY The Authority is a joint powers authority, organized pursuant to a Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement, dated as of May 1, 1995, between the City and the Tustin Community Redevelopment Agency (the "Agreement"). The Agreement was entered into pursuant to Chapter 5 of Division 7 of Title 1 of the Government Code (Sections 6500 et seq) of the State (the "Joint Powers Act"). The Authority is a separate entity, constituting a public instrumentality of the State of California and was 41 D0CSLAI-215774.3/4mhg03! 42081-2-WEJ-08/20/97 formed for the public purpose of assisting in financing and refinancing projects pursuant to the Joint Powers Act for the benefit of California local agencies. The Authority is governed by a Board of Directors, which is comprised of five members. The members of the City Council of the City constitute the members of the Board of Directors of the Authority. The Authority is specifically granted all of the powers specified in the Joint Powers Act, including but not limited to the power to issue bonds and to sell such bonds to public or private purchasers at public or by negotiated sale. THE CITY The City of Tustin is located in central Orange County, approximately 40 miles southeast of Los Angeles and 80 miles north of San Diego. The City covers approximately 11.2 square miles and adjoins the cities of Irvine, Orange and Santa Ana. CONCLUDING INFORMATION Underwriting Simultaneously with the purchase of the Series B Bonds by the Underwriter, the Authority has agreed to purchase the Group One Bonds from the City. The Underwriter's obligation to purchase the Series B Bonds is contingent upon the Authority's purchase of the Group One Bonds, the approval of certain legal matters by counsel and certain other conditions. The Underwriter may offer and sell the Series B Bonds to certain dealers and others at prices lower than the public offering prices set forth on the inside cover hereof. The offering prices of the Series B Bonds may be changed from time to time by the Underwriter. Legal Opinion The legality of the Series B Bonds and certain other legal matters are subject to the approval of Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP, Los Angeles, California, Bond Counsel. Certain legal matters will be passed upon for the Authority and the City by Woodruff, Spradlin & Smart, A Professional Corporation, as City Attorney. Tax Matters In the opinion of Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP ("Bond Counsel"), based upon an analysis of existing laws, regulations, rulings and court decisions, and assuming, among other matters, compliance with certain covenants, interest on the Series B Bonds is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes under Section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code") and is exempt from State of California personal income taxes. Bond Counsel is of the further opinion that interest on the Series B Bonds is not a specific preference item for purposes of the federal individual or corporate alternative minimum taxes, although Bond Counsel observes that such interest is included in adjusted current earnings when calculating corporate alternative minimum taxable income. A complete copy of the proposed form of opinion of Bond Counsel is set forth in Appendix A hereto. 42 D0CSLA1-215774.3/4mhg03! 42081-2-WE.1-08/20/97 To the extent the issue price of any maturity of the Series B Bonds is less than the amount to be paid at maturity of such Series B Bonds (excluding amounts stated to be interest and payable at least annually over the term of such Series B Two Bonds), the difference constitutes "original issue discount," the accrual of which, to the extent properly allocable to each owner thereof, is treated as interest on the Series B Bonds which is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes and State of California personal income taxes. For this purpose, the issue price of a particular maturity of the Series B Bonds is the first price at which a substantial amount of such maturity of the Series B Bonds is sold to the public (excluding bond houses, brokers, or similar persons or organizations acting in the capacity of underwriters, placement agents or wholesalers). The original issue discount with respect to any maturity of the Series B Bonds accrues daily over the term to maturity of such Series B Bonds on the basis of a constant interest rate compounded semiannually (with straight-line interpolations between compounding dates). The accruing original issue discount is added to the adjusted basis of such Series B Bonds to determine taxable gain or loss upon disposition (including sale, redemption, or payment on maturity) of such Series B Bonds. Owners of the Series B Bonds should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences of ownership of Series B Bonds with original issue discount, including the treatment of purchasers who do not purchase such Series B Bonds in the original offering to the public at the first price at which a substantial amount of such Series B Bonds is sold to the public. The Code imposes various restrictions, conditions and requirements relating to the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of interest on obligations such as the Series B Bonds. The City has covenanted to comply with certain restrictions designed to insure that interest on .the Series B Bonds will not be included in federal gross income. Failure to comply with these covenants may result in interest on the Series B Bonds being included in gross income for federal income tax purposes, possibly from the date of original issuance of the Series B Bonds. The opinion of Bond Counsel assumes compliance with these covenants. Bond Counsel has not undertaken to determine (or to inform any person) whether any actions taken (or not taken) or events occurring (or not occurring) after the date of issuance of the Series B Bonds may adversely affect the value of, or the tax status of interest on, the Series B Bonds. Further, no assurance can be given that pending or future legislation or amendments to the Code, if enacted into law, or any proposed legislation or amendments to the Code, will not adversely affect the value of, or the tax status of interest on, the Series B Bonds. Prospective bondowners are urged to consult their own tax advisors with respect to proposals to restructure the federal income tax. Certain requirements and procedures contained or referred to in the Indenture or either Fiscal Agent Agreement, the Tax Certificate, and other relevant documents may be changed and certain actions (including, without limitation, defeasance of the Series B Bonds) may be taken or omitted under the circumstances and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in such documents. Bond Counsel expresses no opinion as to any Series B Bond or the interest thereon if any such change occurs or action is taken or omitted upon the advice or approval of bond counsel other than Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP. Although Bond Counsel is of the opinion that interest on the Series B Bonds is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes and is exempt from State of California personal income taxes, the ownership or disposition of, or the accrual or receipt of interest on, the Series B Bonds may otherwise affect an Owner's federal or state tax liability. The nature and extent of these other tax 43 D0CSLAI-215774.3/4mhg03! 42081-2- W EJ -08/20/97 consequences will depend upon the particular tax status of the Owner or the Owner's other items of income or deduction. Bond Counsel expresses no opinion regarding any such other tax consequences. No Litieation There is no proceeding or litigation of any nature now pending to restrain or enjoin the issuance, sale, execution or delivery of the Series B Bonds, or in any way contesting or affecting the validity of the Series B Bonds, the proceedings of the Authority taken with respect to the issuance or sale thereof the pledge or application of any moneys or securities provided for the payment of the Series B Bonds, the existence or powers of the Authority or the title of any directors or officers of the Authority to their respective positions. A certificate of the Authority to this effect will be delivered on the date of delivery of the Series B Bonds. Ratinis [Moodys Investors Service and Standard & Poops Ratings Services have assigned ratings of "Aaa" and "AAA," respectively, to the Series B Bonds, with the understanding that, upon delivery of the Bonds, a policy insuring the payment when due of principal of and interest on the Series B Bonds will be issued by Financial Security. Such ratings reflect only the views of such organizations and any desired explanation of the significance of such ratings should be obtained from the rating agency furnishing the same, at the following addresses: Moody's Investors Services, Inc. 99 Church Street, New York, New York 10007; Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, 25 Broadway, New York, New York 10004. Generally, a rating agency bases its rating on the information and materials furnished to it and on investigations, studies and assumptions of its own. There is no assurance such ratings will continue for any given period of time or that such ratings will not be revised downward or withdrawn entirely by the rating agencies, if in the judgment of such rating agencies, circumstances so warrant. Any such downward revision or withdrawal of such ratings may have an adverse effect on the market price of the Series B Bonds.] Miscellaneous All of the preceding summaries of the Indenture, the Fiscal Agent Agreements, applicable legislation, agreements and other documents are made subject to the provisions of such documents and legislation and do not purport to be complete statements of any or all of such provisions. Reference is hereby made to such documents on file with the City for further information in connection therewith. This Official Statement does not constitute a contract with the purchasers of the Series B Bonds. Any statements made in this Official Statement involving matters of opinion or of estimates, whether or not so expressly stated, are set forth as such and not as representations of fact, and no representation is made that any of the estimates will be realized. 44 D0CSLAI-215774.3/4mhg03! 42081-2-WEJ-08/20/97 The execution and delivery of this Official Statement have been authorized by the members of the Commission of the Authority.
