The Prepayment Amount for an Assessor's Parcel eligible for prepayment shall be determined as described below.
An owner of an Assessor's Parcel intending to prepay the Special Tax for Facilities obligation shall provide the City with written notice of intent to prepay, and within 5 days of receipt of such notice, the City shall notify such owner of the amount of the non-refundable deposit determined to cover the cost to be incurred by CFO No. 93-1 in calculating the proper amount of a prepayment. Within 15 days of receipt of such non- refundable deposit, the City shall notify such owner of the prepayment amount of such Assessor's Parcel.

2. For each Assessor's Parcel of Developed Property, Final Map Property or Undeveloped Property to be prepaid, (a) divide the Assigned Special Tax for D-27
022599-0039
Facilities computed pursuant to paragraph 1 for such Assessor's Parcel by the sum of the estimated Assigned Special Tax for Facilities applicable to all Assessor's Parcels of Taxable Property at buildout, as reasonably determined by the City, and (b) divide the Backup Special Tax for Facilities computed pursuant to paragraph 1 for such Assessor's Parcel by the sum of the estimated Backup Special Tax for Facilities applicable to all Assessor's Parcels of Taxable Property at buildout, as reasonably determined by the City.
3. Multiply the larger quotient computed pursuant to paragraph 2(a) or 2(b) by Outstanding Bonds. The product shall be the "Bond Redemption Amount".
4. Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount by the applicable redemption premium, if any, on the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the proceeds of the Bond Redemption Amount. This product is the "Redemption Premium."
5. Compute the Future Facilities Cost.
6. Multiply the larger quotient computed pursuant to paragraph 2(a) or 2(b) by the amount determined pursuant to paragraph 5. to determine the Future Facilities Cost to be prepaid (the "Future Facilities Amount").
7. Compute the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Redemption Amount, the Redemption Premium, and the Reserve Fund Credit (see step 11) to be redeemed with the proceeds of the Prepayment Amount until the earliest call date for the Outstanding Bonds.
8. Estimate the amount of interest earnings to be derived from the reinvestment of the Bond Redemption Amount plus the Redemption Premium until the earliest call date for the Outstanding Bonds.
9. Subtract the amount computed pursuant to paragraph 8 from the amount computed pursuant to paragraph 7. This difference is the "Defeasance."
10. Estimate the administrative fees and expenses associated with the prepayment, including the costs of computation of the Prepayment Amount, the costs of redeeming Bonds, and the costs of recording any notices to evidence the prepayment and the redemption. This amount is the "Administrative Fee."
11. Calculate the "Reserve Fund Credit" as the lesser of: (a) the expected reduction in the applicable reserve requirements, if any, associated with the redemption of Outstanding Bonds as a result of the prepayment, or (b) the amount derived by subtracting the new reserve requirements in effect after the redemption of Outstanding Bonds as a result of the prepayment from the balance in the applicable reserve funds on the prepayment date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the reserve fund requirement is satisfied by a surety bond or other instrument at the time of the prepayment, then no Reserve Fund Credit shall be given. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Reserve Fund Credit shall in no event be less than 0.
12. The Prepayment Amount is equal to the sum of the Bond Redemption Amount, the Redemption Premium, the Future Facilities Amount, the Defeasance, and the Administrative Fee, less the Reserve Fund Credit.

For Assessor's Parcels of Developed Property, compute the Assigned Special Taxes for Facilities and the Backup Special Taxes for Facilities applicable to the Assessor's ParceL For Assessor's Parcels of Final Map Property or Undeveloped Property, excluding any Undeveloped Property pursuant to Section J., compute the Assigned Special Tax for Facilities and the Backup Special Tax for Facilities applicable to the Assessor's Parcel as though it was already designated as Developed Property based upon the Building Permit issued or to be issued for that Assessor's Parcel. For Assessor's Parcels classified as Undeveloped Property pursuant to Section J., compute the Assigned Special Tax for Facilities.
2. For each Assessor's Parcel of Developed Property, Final Map Property or Undeveloped Property to be prepaid, (a) divide the Assigned Special Tax for Facilities computed pursuant to paragraph 1 for such Assessor's Parcel by the sum of the estimated Assigned Special Tax for Facilities applicable to all Assessor's Parcels of Taxable Property at buildout, as reasonably determined by the City, and (b) divide D-38
4906-9803-8065v71022599-0039
the Backup Special Tax for Facilities computed pursuant to paragraph 1 for such Assessor's Parcel by the sum of the estimated Backup Special Tax for Facilities applicable to all Assessor's Parcels of Taxable Property at buildout, as reasonably determined by the City.
3. Multiply the larger quotient computed pursuant to paragraph 2(a) or 2(b) by Outstanding Bonds. The product shall be the "Bond Redemption Amount".
4. Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount by the applicable redemption premium, if any, on the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the proceeds of the Bond Redemption Amount. This product is the "Redemption Premium."
5. Compute the Future Facilities Cost.
6. Multiply the larger quotient computed pursuant to paragraph 2(a) or 2(b) by the amount determined pursuant to paragraph 5. to determine the Future Facilities Cost to be prepaid (the "Future Facilities Amount").
7. Compute the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Redemption Amount, the Redemption Premium, and the Reserve Fund Credit (see step 11) to be redeemed with the proceeds of the Prepayment Amount until the earliest call date for the Outstanding Bonds.
8. Estimate the amount of interest earnings to be derived from the reinvestment of the Bond Redemption Amount plus the Redemption Premium until the earliest call date for the Outstanding Bonds.
9. Subtract the amount computed pursuant to paragraph 8 from the amount computed pursuant to paragraph 7. This difference is the "Defeasance."
10. Estimate the administrative fees and expenses associated with the prepayment, including the costs of computation of the Prepayment Amount, the costs of redeeming Bonds, and the costs of recording any notices to evidence the prepayment and the redemption. This amount is the "Administrative Fee."
11. Calculate the "Reserve Fund Credit" as the lesser of: (a) the expected reduction in the applicable reserve requirements, if any, associated with the redemption of Outstanding Bonds as a result of the prepayment, or (b) the amount derived by subtracting the new reserve requirements in effect after the redemption of Outstanding Bonds as a result of the prepayment from the balance in the applicable reserve funds on the prepayment date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the reserve fund requirement is satisfied by a surety bond or other instrument at the time of the prepayment, then no Reserve Fund Credit shall be given. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Reserve Fund Credit shall in no event be less than 0.
12. The Prepayment Amount is equal to the sum of the Bond Redemption Amount, the Redemption Premium, the Future Facilities Amount, the Defeasance, and the Administrative Fee, less the Reserve Fund Credit.
With respect to the Special Tax for Facilities obligation that is prepaid pursuant to this Section G, the City Council shall indicate in the records of CFD No. 93-1 that there has been a prepayment of the Special Tax for Facilities obligation and shall cause a suitable notice to be recorded in compliance with the Act within thirty D-39

(30) days of receipt of such prepayment to indicate the prepayment of the Special Tax for Facilities obligation and the release of the Special Tax for Facilities lien on such Assessor's Parcel, and the obligation of such Assessor's Parcel to pay such Special Taxes for Facilities shall cease.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no prepayment will be allowed unless the amount of Special Tax for Facilities that may be levied on Taxable Property, net of Administrative Expenses, shall be at least 1.1 times the regularly scheduled annual interest and principal payments on all currently Outstanding Bonds in each future Fiscal Year.
SECTION H

The terms above have the following meanings:
PP = the Partial Prepayment Amount.
PG = the Prepayment Amount calculated according to Section G.
F = the percent by which the owner of the Assessor's Parcel is partially prepaying the Special Tax for Facilities obligation.
With respect to any Assessor's Parcel that is partially prepaid, the City Council shall indicate in the records of CFD No. 93-1 that there has been a partial prepayment of the Special Tax for Facilities obligation and shall cause a suitable notice to be recorded in compliance with the Act within thirty (30) days of receipt of such partial prepayment of the Special Tax for Facilities obligation, to indicate the partial prepayment of the Special Tax for Facilities obligation and the partial release of the Special Tax for Facilities lien on such Assessor's Parcel, and the obligation of such Assessor's Parcel to pay such prepaid portion of the Special Tax for Facilities for shall cease.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no partial prepayment will be allowed unless the amount of Special Tax for Facilities that may be levied on Taxable Property after such partial prepayment, net of Administrative Expenses, shall be at least 1.1 times the regularly scheduled annual interest and principal payments on all currently Outstanding Bonds in each future Fiscal Year.
SECTION I

For each Assessor's Parcel of Developed Property, Final Map Property, Undeveloped Property, or Undeveloped Property pursuant to Section J to be prepaid, (a) divide the Assigned Special Tax for Facilities computed pursuant to paragraph 1 for such Assessor's Parcel by the sum of the estimated Assigned Special Tax for Facilities applicable to all Assessor's Parcels of Taxable Property at buildout, as reasonably determined by the City, and (b) divide the Backup Special Tax for Facilities computed pursuant to paragraph 1 for such Assessor's Parcel by the sum of the estimated Backup Special Tax for Facilities applicable to all Assessor's Parcels of Taxable Property at buildout, as reasonably determined by the City.
3. Multiply the larger quotient computed pursuant to paragraph 2(a) or 2(b) by Outstanding Bonds. The product shall be the "Bond Redemption Amount."
4. Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount by the applicable redemption premium, if any, on the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the proceeds of the Bond Redemption Amount. This product is the "Redemption Premium."
5. Compute the Future Facilities Cost.
6. Multiply the larger quotient computed pursuant to paragraph 2 (a) or 2 (b) by the amount determined pursuant to paragraph 5 to determine the Future Facilities Cost to be prepaid (the "Future Facilities Amount").
7. Compute the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Redemption Amount to be redeemed with the proceeds of the Prepayment Amount until the earliest call date for the Outstanding Bonds.
8. Estimate the amount of interest earnings to be derived from the reinvestment of the Bond Redemption Amount plus the Redemption Premium until the earliest call date for the Outstanding Bonds.
9. Subtract the amount computed pursuant to paragraph 8 from the amount computed pursuant to paragraph 7. This difference is the "Defeasance."
10.

This amount is the "Administrative Fee." D-50
4906-9803-8065v71022599-0039
11. Calculate the "Reserve Fund Credit" as the lesser of: (a) the expected reduction in the applicable reserve requirements, if any, associated with the redemption of Outstanding Bonds as a result of the prepayment, or (b) the amount derived by subtracting the new reserve requirements in effect after the redemption of Outstanding Bonds as a result of the prepayment from the balance in the applicable reserve funds on the prepayment date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the reserve fund requirement is satisfied by a surety bond or other instrument at the time of the prepayment, then no Reserve Fund Credit shall be given. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Reserve Fund Credit shall in no event be less than 0.
12. The Prepayment Amount is equal to the sum of the Bond Redemption Amount, the Redemption Premium, the Future Facilities Amount, the Defeasance, and the Administrative Fee, less the Reserve Fund Credit.
With respect to the Special Tax for Facilities obligation that is prepaid pursuant to this Section G, the City Council shall indicate in the records of CFD No. 93-1 that there has been a prepayment of the Special Tax for Facilities obligation and shall cause a suitable notice to be recorded in compliance with the Act within thirty (30) days of receipt of such prepayment to indicate the prepayment of the Special Tax for Facilities obligation and the release of the Special Tax for Facilities lien on such Assessor's Parcel, and the obligation of such Assessor's Parcel to pay such Special Taxes for Facilities shall cease.

FORM OF BOND COUNSEL OPINION
[Closing Date]
Beaumont Public Improvement Authority
Beaumont, California
Re: $ Beaumont Public Improvement Authority Local Agency Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 2025
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have examined the Constitution and the laws of the State of California, a certified record of the proceedings of the Beaumont Public Improvement Authority (the "Authority") taken in connection with the issuance by the Authority of its Beaumont Public Improvement Authority Local Agency Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 2025 (the "Bonds") and such other information and documents as we consider necessary to render this opinion.
In rendering this opinion, we have relied upon certain representations and certifications of fact made by the Authority, the Community Facilities District, the initial purchaser of the Bonds and others and opinions of counsel to the Authority and the Community Facilities District. 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 1 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 Zions Bancorporation, National Association, as Trustee, and an authorizing resolution adopted by the Board of Directors of the Authority (the "Board") on , 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 express no opinion herein with respect to any indemnification, contribution, choice of law, choice of forum, penalty or waiver provisions 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:
E- 1
4906-9803-8065v71022599-0039
(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.
(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, 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 fmancial statement income for 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 are to be sold to the public) and the stated redemption price at maturity with respect to such Bond 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.
The opinions expressed in paragraph (3) and (5) above as to the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of interest (and original issue discount) on the Bonds is subject to the condition that the Authority, the City and the Community Facilities District 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 District 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 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 E-2
4906-9803-8065v71022599-0039
(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.
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. We call attention to the fact that the rights and obligations under the Bonds, the Indenture and the Tax Certificate 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.
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).
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.
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.
Respectfully submitted,

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 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.
G-1
4906-9803-8065v71022599-0039
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.
DTC may discontinue providing its services as depository with respect to the Bonds at any time by giving reasonable notice to the Community Facilities Districts or the Trustee. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor depository is not obtained, physical certificates are required to be printed and delivered.
G-2
4906-9803-8065v71022599-0039
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.

(d) Notice of Redemption. 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 this 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.
Upon the payment by the Trustee from the applicable account in the Revenue Fund of the redemption price of the Bond 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 being redeemed with the proceeds of such check or other transfer. (e) Selection of Bonds of a Maturity for Redemption. Unless otherwise provided hereunder, whenever provision is made in this Indenture or in the applicable Supplemental 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 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.
(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 18 4896-9720-1970v3/022599-0039
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. 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 shall have been duly provided, such Bonds so called shall cease to be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture other than the right to receive payment of the redemption price, and no interest shall accrue thereon from and after the redemption date specified in such notice. All Bonds redeemed pursuant to this Section 2.2 shall be cancelled and destroyed.
Section 2.3 Form of Bonds. The Bonds, the form of Trustee's certificate of authentication, and the form of assignment to appear thereon, shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto and by this reference incorporated herein, with necessary or appropriate variations, omissions and insertions, as permitted or required by this Indenture.
Section 2.4 Execution of Bonds. All the Bonds shall, from time to time, be executed on behalf of the Authority by, or bear the manual or facsimile signature of, one of the members of the Board of Directors of the Authority and be attested by the manual or facsimile signature of the Secretary or by any deputy thereof. If any of the directors or officers who shall have signed or sealed any of the Bonds or whose facsimile signature shall be upon the Bonds shall cease to be such officer of the Authority before the Bond so signed and sealed shall have been actually authenticated by the Trustee or delivered, such Bonds nevertheless may be authenticated, issued and delivered with the same force and effect as though the person or persons who signed or sealed such Bonds or whose facsimile signature shall be upon the Bonds had not ceased to be such officer of the Authority; and any such Bond may be signed and sealed on behalf of the Authority by those persons who, at the actual date of the execution of such Bonds, shall be the proper officers of the Authority, although at the date of such Bond any such person shall not have been such officer of the Authority.
Only such of the Bonds as shall bear thereon a certificate of authentication in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A, manually executed by the Trustee, shall be valid or obligatory for any purpose or entitled to the benefits of this Indenture, and such certificate of the Trustee shall be conclusive evidence that the Bonds so authenticated have been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and are entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.
Section 2.5 Transfer of Bonds. Subject to Section 2.10, 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 shall be surrendered for transfer, the Authority shall execute and the Trustee shall thereupon authenticate and deliver to the transferee a new Bond or Bonds of like Series, tenor, maturity and aggregate principal amount. No Bonds selected for redemption shall be subject to transfer pursuant to this Section nor shall 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 shall be paid by the Authority. However, the Owners of the Bonds shall 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 shall be required to pay 19 4896-9720-1970v3/022599-0039
the reasonable fees and expenses of the Trustee and Authority in connection with the replacement of any mutilated, lost or stolen Bonds.
Section 2.6 Exchange of Bonds. Subject to Section 2.10, Bonds may be exchanged at the Trust Office of the Trustee for Bonds of the same Series, tenor and maturity and of other authorized denominations. No Bonds selected for redemption shall be subject to exchange pursuant to this Section, nor shall 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 shall be paid by the Authority.
Section 2.7 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, shall be of such denominations as may be determined by the Authority and may contain such reference to any of the provisions of this Indenture as may be appropriate.
Every temporary Bond shall 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 shall 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 shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Bonds authenticated and delivered hereunder.
Section 2.8 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 shall be the Bond Register and shall at all times during regular business hours be open to inspection by the Authority upon reasonable notice; and, upon presentation for such purpose, the Trustee shall, under such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, register or transfer or cause to be registered or transferred, on said records, Bonds as hereinbefore provided.
Section 2.9 Bonds Mutilated, Lost, Destroyed or Stolen. If any Bond shall become mutilated, the Authority, at the expense of the Owner of said Bond, shall execute, and the Trustee shall 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 shall be cancelled by it and destroyed in accordance with the retention policy of the Trustee then in effect. If any Bond issued hereunder shall be 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 shall be given, at the expense of the Bond Owner, the Authority shall execute, and the Trustee shall 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 shall have matured or shall have 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 this Section and of the expenses which may be incurred by the Authority and the Trustee. Any Bond issued under the provisions of this Section in lieu of any Bond alleged to be lost, destroyed or stolen shall 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 shall be equally and proportionately entitled to the benefits of this Indenture with all other Bonds secured by this Indenture. 20 4896-9720-1970v3/022599-0039

(B) a continuation of the requirement that all Outstanding Bonds be registered in the Bond Register in the name of Cede & Co., or any other nominee of DTC, is not in the best interest of the beneficial owners of such Bonds.

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.

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 District continues 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 25 4896-9720-1970v3/022599-0039
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 accounts of the Reserve Fund shall be made in accordance with Section 4.3 hereof.
(iv) Local Obligations Delinquency Revenues. The Trustee shall disburse or transfer all Revenues representing Local Obligations Delinquency Revenues in the following order of priority:
First, to make payments required pursuant to Section 8.3 upon the occurrence of an Event of Default as described in Section 8.1(a),
Second, to the Reserve Fund to replenish the amount on deposit therein to the Reserve Requirement as set forth in Section 4.3, and
Third, to make the deposits specified in Section 4.2(a)(i) through (iii) above. (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 Sections 10.2 and 10.4 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. 93-1 IA 7A1 Reserve Account, $ shall initially be allocated to the CFD No. 93-1 IA 19A Reserve Account, $ shall initially be allocated to the CFD No. 93-1 IA 18 Reserve Account, $ shall initially be allocated to the CFD No. 93-1 IA 16 Reserve Account and $ shall initially be allocated to the CFD No. 93-1 IA 8B Reserve Account, such amounts being the initial Proportionate 26 4896-9720-1970v3/022599-0039
Share of the Reserve Requirement for each account. 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. 75% of the Reserve Requirement will initially be satisfied by the Reserve Surety Bond and 25% 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 Reserve Surety Bond, any other Reserve Credit Facility and cash on deposit in the Reserve Fund shall be allocated to the Accounts therein 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, or (iii) when the amount in an account of the Reserve Fund 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. (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 each of the other Reserve Accounts an amount based upon the Proportionate Share applicable to each such Reserve Account of such remaining deficiency and transfer such amounts 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 with such reimbursements credited first to each Reserve Account for any series of Local Obligations, other than the Reserve Account to which such delinquent Revenues relate on a Proportionate Share basis if such reimbursements are owing as a result from draws due to delinquencies in the payment of scheduled debt service on that series of Local Obligations from which such delinquent Revenues were received. Such reimbursements shall 27 4896-9720-1970v3/022599-0039
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 any Series of Local Obligations, other than the Reserve Account to which such Local Obligations Delinquency Revenues relate, that amount necessary to increase the amount on deposit in such account to the Reserve Requirement on a Proportionate Share basis if the deficiency in the amount on deposit in such account resulted from draws on such account due to delinquencies in the payment of scheduled debt service on that Series of Local Obligations from which the Local Obligations Delinquency Revenues were received. In the event that such Local Obligations Delinquency Revenues are insufficient to increase the amount on deposit in each of the applicable Reserve Accounts to their respective Proportionate Share of the Reserve Requirement, a Proportionate Share of such Local Obligations Delinquency Revenues shall be deposited in each such Reserve Account; (C) Third, after increasing the amount on deposit in each 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) When amounts in a Reserve Account are sufficient to repay the remaining principal and interest due on the related Local Obligations that will be applied to the Bonds, such amounts 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.
(f) 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:
(i) In the event and to the extent that moneys on deposit in the Revenue Fund, plus all amounts on deposit in and credited to the Reserve Fund in excess of the amount of the Reserve Surety Bond, are insufficient to pay the amount of principal and interest coming due on the 2025 Bonds, then upon the later of: (1) one (1) Business Day after receipt by the Bond Insurer of a Notice of Nonpayment (as defined in the Reserve Surety Bond), duly executed by the Trustee certifying that payment due under this Indenture has not been made to the Trustee; or (2) the Interest Payment Date, the Bond Insurer will make a deposit of funds in an account with the Trustee or its successor sufficient for the payment to the Trustee of amounts which are then due to the Trustee under this Indenture up to but not in excess of the Policy Limit (as defined in the Reserve Surety Bond); provided, however, that in the event that the amount on deposit in, or credited to, the Reserve Fund, in addition to the amount available under the Reserve Surety Bond, includes amounts available 28 4896-9720-1970v3/022599-0039
under any other Reserve Credit Facility, draws on the Reserve Surety Bond and the other Reserve Credit Facility shall be made on a pro rata basis to fund the insufficiency. (ii) The Authority shall repay any draws under the Reserve Surety Bond and pay all related reasonable expenses incurred by the Bond Insurer. Interest shall accrue and be payable on such draws and expenses from the date of payment by the Bond Insurer at the Late Payment Rate. For purposes of this Section 4.3, "Late Payment Rate" means the lesser of: (1) the greater of: (A) the per annum rate of interest, publicly announced from time to time by JP Morgan Chase Bank at its principal office in the City of New York, as its prime or lending rate ("Prime Rate") (any change in such Prime Rate to be effective on the date such change is announced by JP Morgan Chase Bank) plus 5%; and (B) the then applicable highest rate of interest on the 2025 Bonds; and (2) the maximum rate permissible under applicable usury or similar laws limiting interest rates.
The Late Payment Rate shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days. In the event that JP Morgan Chase Bank ceases to announce its Prime Rate publicly, Prime Rate shall be the publicly announced prime or base lending rate of such national bank as the Bond Insurer shall specify. If the interest provisions of this Section 4.3(f) shall result in an effective rate of interest which, for any period, exceeds the limit of the usury or any other laws applicable to the indebtedness created herein, then all sums in excess of those lawfully collectible as interest for the period in question shall, without further agreement or notice between or by any party hereto, be applied as additional interest for any later periods of time when amounts are outstanding hereunder to the extent that interest otherwise due hereunder for such periods plus such additional interest would not exceed the limit of the usury or such other laws, and any excess shall be applied upon principal immediately upon receipt of such moneys by the Bond Insurer, with the same force and effect as if the Authority had specifically designated such extra sums to be so applied and the Bond Insurer had agreed to accept such extra payment(s) as additional interest for such later periods.
In no event shall any agreed -to or actual exaction as consideration for the indebtedness created herein exceed the limits imposed or provided by the law applicable to this transaction for the use or detention of money or for forbearance in seeking its collection. (iii) Repayment of draws and payment of expenses and accrued interest thereon at the Late Payment Rate (collectively, "Policy Costs") shall commence in the first month following each draw, and each such monthly payment shall be in an amount at least equal to 1/12 of the aggregate of Policy Costs related to such draw.
(iv) Amounts in respect of Policy Costs paid to the Bond Insurer shall be credited first to interest due, then to the expenses due and then to principal due. As and to the extent that payments are made to the Bond Insurer on account of principal due, the coverage under the Reserve Surety Bond will be increased by a like amount, subject to the terms of the Reserve Surety Bond. The obligation to pay Policy Costs shall be secured by a valid lien on all Revenues (subject only to the priority of payment provisions set forth hereunder). (v) All cash and investments in the Reserve Fund or a Reserve Account therein shall be transferred to the Revenue Fund for payment of the principal of and interest on the 2025 Bonds before any drawing may be made on the Reserve Surety Bond or any other Reserve Credit Facility credited to such Reserve Account in lieu of cash. Payment of any Policy Costs shall be made prior to replenishment of any such cash amounts. Draws on the Reserve Surety Bond and any other Reserve Credit Facility on which there is available coverage shall be made on a pro -rata basis (calculated by reference to the coverage then available thereunder) after applying all available cash and investments in the Reserve Fund or a Reserve Account therein. Payment of Policy Costs 29 4896-9720-1970v3/022599-0039
and reimbursement of amounts with respect to any other Reserve Credit Facility shall be made on a pro -rata basis prior to replenishment of any cash drawn from the Reserve Fund or a Reserve Account therein. For the avoidance of doubt, "available coverage" means the coverage then available for disbursement pursuant to the terms of the applicable alternative credit instrument without regard to the legal or financial ability or willingness of the provider of such instrument to honor a claim or draw thereon or the failure of such provider to honor any such claim or draw. (vi) If the Authority shall fail to pay any Policy Costs in accordance with the requirements of Section 4.3 hereof, the Bond Insurer shall be entitled to exercise any and all legal and equitable remedies available to it, including those provided under this Indenture other than:
(i) acceleration of the maturity of the payments of principal of and interest on the Bonds; or (ii) remedies which would adversely affect Owners of the Bonds.
The Trustee shall ascertain the necessity for a claim upon the Reserve Surety Bond in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.3(f) hereof and provide notice to the Bond Insurer in accordance with the terms of the Reserve Surety Bond at least five (5) Business Days prior to an Interest Payment Date. Where deposits are required to be made by the Authority with the Trustee to the Revenue Fund for the payment of principal of and interest on the 2025 Bonds more often than semi-annually, the Trustee shall be instructed to give notice to the Bond Insurer of any failure of the Authority to make timely payment in full of such deposits within two Business Days of the date due.
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 the 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 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 among the Local Obligations based on a Certificate of an Independent Financial Consultant prepared at the direction of the Authorized Representative of the City. In the event the Community Facilities District is 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 District relating to the Bonds, the Local Obligations, the Community Facilities District, 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 District. Such amounts shall be applied to reduce debt service payments on Local Obligations. 30 4896-9720-1970v3/022599-0039
Section 4.5 Investments. All moneys in any of the funds or accounts established with the Trustee pursuant to this Indenture shall be invested by the Trustee solely in Permitted Investments, as directed pursuant to the Request of the Authority filed with the Trustee at least two (2) Business Days in advance of the making of such investments. The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any such Request of the Authority 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, 2025], and deposited to the appropriate special tax fund of the Community Facilities District 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 therefor. 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. The parties hereto acknowledge that the Trustee is not providing investment supervision, recommendations, or advice.
The Authority acknowledges that to the extent regulations of the Comptroller of the Currency or other applicable regulatory entity grant the Authority the right to receive brokerage confirmations of security transactions effected by the Trustee as they occur, the Authority specifically waives receipt of such confirmations to the extent permitted by law. 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.
Section 4.6 Valuation and Disposition of Investments. For the purpose of determining the amount in any fund or account, the value of Permitted Investments credited to such fund or account shall be valued at the original cost thereof (excluding any brokerage commissions and excluding any accrued interest) provided that the investment of any funds held in the Reserve Fund, shall be valued at fair market value and marked to market at least quarterly by the Authority. 31 4896-9720-1970v3/022599-0039

33 4896-9720-1970v3/022599-0039

Section 5.7 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 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 take no action inconsistent with its expectations stated in any Tax Certificate executed with respect to the Bonds and will comply with the covenants and requirements stated therein and incorporated by reference herein.
This Section and the covenants set forth herein shall not be applicable to, and nothing contained herein shall be deemed to prevent the Authority from issuing Bonds the interest on which has been determined by the Board to be subject to federal income taxation.
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." Absent an opinion of Bond Counsel that the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of interest on the Bonds will not be adversely affected, the Authority shall cause to be deposited in each such account of the Rebate Fund such amounts as are required to be deposited therein pursuant to this Section and the Tax Certificate.
All money at any time deposited in the Rebate Fund shall be held by the Trustee in trust for payment to the United States Treasury. All amounts on deposit in the Rebate Fund shall be governed by this Section 5.8 and the Tax Certificate unless and to the extent that the Authority delivers to the Trustee an opinion of Bond Counsel that the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of interest on the Bonds will not be adversely affected if such requirements are not satisfied.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the Trustee shall be deemed conclusively to have complied with this Section 5.8 and the Tax Certificate if it follows the directions set forth in any 34 4896-9720-1970v3/022599-0039
Request of the Authority or Certificate of the Authority and shall be fully protected in so doing. The Trustee shall have no independent responsibility to, or liability resulting from its failure to, enforce compliance by the Authority with the terms of this Section 5.8 or the Tax Certificate. (b) Rebate Account. The following requirements shall be satisfied with respect to the Rebate Account:
(i) Annual Computation. Within 55 days of the end of each Bond Year, the Authority shall calculate or cause to be calculated the amount of rebatable arbitrage, in accordance with Section 148(f)(2) of the Code and Section 1.148-3 of the Rebate Regulations (taking into account any applicable exceptions with respect to the computation of the rebatable arbitrage, described, if applicable, in the Tax Certificate (e.g., the temporary investments exceptions of Section 148(f)(4)(B) and (C) of the Code), and taking into account whether the election pursuant to Section 148(f)(4)(C)(vii) of the Code (the "1'/z% Penalty") has been made), for this purpose treating the last day of the applicable Bond Year as a computation date, within the meaning of Section 1.148 1(b) of the Rebate Regulations (the "Rebatable Arbitrage"). The Authority shall obtain expert advice as to the amount of the Rebatable Arbitrage to comply with this Section 5.8. (ii) Annual Transfer. Within 55 days of the end of each applicable Bond Year, upon receipt of the Request of the Authority, an amount shall be deposited to the applicable Rebate Account by the Trustee from any Revenues specified by the Authority in the aforesaid Request of the Authority, if and to the extent required so that the balance in the Rebate Account shall equal the amount of Rebatable Arbitrage so calculated in accordance with (i) of this Subsection (b). In the event that immediately following the transfer required by the previous sentence, the amount then on deposit to the credit of a Rebate Account exceeds the amount required to be on deposit therein, upon receipt of a Request of the Authority, the Trustee shall withdraw the excess from the applicable Rebate Account and then credit the excess to the Revenue Fund. (iii) Payment to the Treasury. The Trustee shall pay, as directed by Request of the Authority, to the United States Treasury, out of amounts in the Rebate Account, (A) Not later than 60 days after the end of (A) the fifth Bond Year, and (B) each applicable fifth Bond Year thereafter, an amount equal to at least 90% of the Rebatable Arbitrage as set forth in a Certificate of the Authority delivered to the Trustee calculated as of the end of such Bond Year; and
(B) Not later than 60 days after the payment of all the Bonds, an amount equal to 100% of the Rebatable Arbitrage as set forth in a Certificate of the Authority delivered to the Trustee calculated as of the end of such applicable Bonds Year, and any income attributable to the Rebatable Arbitrage, as set forth in a Certificate of the Authority delivered to the Trustee computed in accordance with Section 148(f) of the Code.
In the event that, prior to the time of any payment required to be made from a Rebate Account, the amount in such Rebate Account is not sufficient to make such payment when such payment is due, the Authority shall calculate or cause to be calculated the amount of such deficiency and deposit with the Trustee an amount received from any legally available source equal to such deficiency prior to the time such payment is due. Each payment required to be made pursuant to this Subsection (b) shall be made to the Internal Revenue Service Center, Ogden, Utah 84207 on or before the date on which such payment is due, and shall be accompanied by Internal Revenue Service 35 4896-9720-1970v3/022599-0039

(c) Alternative Penalty Account.
(i) Six Month Computation. If the 1'/2% Penalty has been elected, within 85 days of each particular Six Month Period, the Authority shall determine or cause to be determined whether the 1'/2% Penalty is payable (and the amount of such penalty) as of the close of the applicable Six Month Period. The Authority shall obtain expert advice in making such determinations. (ii) Six Month Transfer. Within 85 days of the close of each Six Month Period, upon receipt of the Request of the Authority, the Trustee shall deposit in the Alternative Penalty Account from any source of funds (specified by the Authority in the aforesaid Request), if and to the extent required, so that the balance in the Alternative Penalty Account for a Series equals the amount of 11/2% Penalty (as specified in such Request) due and payable to the United States Treasury determined by the Authority as provided in subsection (c)(i) above. In the event that immediately following the transfer provided in the previous sentence, the amount then on deposit to the credit of the Alternative Penalty Account exceeds the amount required to be on deposit therein to make the payments required by subsection (c)(iii) below, the Trustee, pursuant to a Certificate of the Authority, may withdraw the excess from the Alternative Penalty Account and credit the excess to the Revenue Fund.
(iii) Payment to the Treasury. The Trustee shall pay, as directed by Request of the Authority, to the United States Treasury, out of amounts in the Alternative Penalty Account, not later than 90 days after the close of each Six Month Period the 1'/2% Penalty (as specified by the Authority in the aforesaid Request), if applicable and payable, computed by the Authority in accordance with Section 148(f)(4) of the Code. In the event that, prior to the time of any payment required to be made from the Alternative Penalty Account, the amount in such account is not sufficient to make such payment when such payment is due, the Authority shall calculate the amount of such deficiency and deposit with the Trustee an amount received from any legally available source of funds equal to such deficiency for transfer into the Alternative Penalty Account prior to the time such payment is due. Each payment required to be made pursuant to this Subsection (c)(iii) shall be made to the Internal Revenue Service, Ogden, Utah 84207 on or before the date on which such payment is due, and shall be accompanied by Internal Revenue Service Form 8038 T (which form shall be completed and provided by the Authority to the Trustee) or shall be made in such other manner as provided under the Code.

Any funds remaining in the accounts of the Rebate Fund after redemption and payment of the Bonds and the payments of all amounts described in Subsection (b)(iii) or (c)(iii) (whichever is applicable) or provision made therefor satisfactory to the Trustee, including accrued interest and payment of all applicable fees to the Trustee, may, upon written request, be withdrawn by the Trustee and remitted to the Authority and utilized in any manner by the Authority.
(e) Survival of Defeasance. Notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary, the obligation to comply with the requirements of this Section shall survive the defeasance of the Bonds. 36 4896-9720-1970v3/022599-0039
(f) Trustee. The Trustee shall have no responsibility to monitor or calculate any amounts payable to the U.S. Treasury pursuant to this Section and shall be deemed conclusively to have complied with its obligations hereunder if it follows the written instructions of the Authority given pursuant to this Section.
Section 5.9 Local Obligations. Subject to the provisions of this Indenture (including Article VI), the Authority and the Trustee shall use reasonable efforts to collect all amounts due from the Community Facilities District pursuant to the Local Obligations and shall enforce, and take all steps, actions and proceedings which the Authority and Trustee determine to be reasonably necessary for the enforcement of all of the rights of the Authority thereunder and for the enforcement of all of the obligations and covenants of the City and the Community Facilities District thereunder. The Authority shall instruct the Community Facilities District to authenticate and deliver to the Trustee the Local Obligations registered in the name of the Trustee.
The Authority, the Trustee and the Community Facilities District may at any time consent to, amend or modify any of the Local Obligations pursuant to the terms thereof, (a) with the prior consent of the Bond Insurer and the Owners of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding, or (b) without the consent of any of the Owners or the Bond Insurer if such amendment or modification is for any one or more of the following purposes; provided, however, that any such amendment or modification which adversely affects the rights and interests of the Bond Insurer shall require the prior written consent of the Bond Insurer:
(a) to add to the covenants and agreements of the Community Facilities District contained in such Local Obligations, other covenants and agreements thereafter to be observed, or to limit or surrender any rights or power therein reserved to or conferred upon the Community Facilities District; or
(b) to make such provisions for the purpose of curing any ambiguity, or of curing, correcting or supplementing any defective provision contained in such Local Obligations, or in any other respect whatsoever as the Community Facilities District may deem necessary or desirable, provided under any circumstances that such modifications or amendments shall not materially adversely affect the interests of the Owners of the Bonds in the opinion of Bond Counsel filed with the Trustee; or
(c) to amend any provision thereof to the extent necessary to comply with the Code, but only if and to the extent such amendment will not, in and of itself, adversely affect the exclusion from gross income of the interest on any Bonds under the Code theretofore issued on a tax-exempt basis, in the opinion of Bond Counsel filed with the Trustee.
Section 5.10 Sale of Local Obligations. Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, though subject to the prior consent of the Bond Insurer, the Authority may cause the Trustee to sell, from time to time, all or a portion of a Series of Local Obligations, provided that the Authority shall deliver to the Trustee:
(a) a certificate of an Independent Accountant certifying that, following the sale of such Local Obligations and the Revenues to be paid to the Authority (assuming the timely payment of amounts due thereon with respect to any Local Obligations not then in default), together with interest and principal due on any Defeasance Securities pledged to the repayment of the Bonds and the Revenues then on deposit in the funds and accounts established hereunder (valuing any 37 4896-9720-1970v3/022599-0039
Permitted Investments held hereunder at the then fair market value thereof), will be sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds when due;
(b) if any Bonds are then rated by Standard & Poor's a notification from Standard & Poor's to the effect that such rating will not be withdrawn or reduced as a result of such sale of Local Obligations;

For purposes of this Section, "Beneficial Owner" means any person which has or shares the power, directly or indirectly, to make investment decisions concerning ownership of any Bonds (including persons holding Bonds through nominees, depositories and other intermediaries).

If such bank, association or trust company publishes a report of condition at least annually pursuant to law or to the requirements of any supervising or examining authority above referred to, then for the purpose of this Section 6.1, the combined capital and surplus shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published.
The Trustee is hereby authorized to pay the principal of and interest and redemption premium (if any) on the Bonds when duly presented for payment at maturity, or on redemption prior to maturity, to make regularly scheduled interest payments, and to cancel any Bond upon payment thereof.
Section 6.2 Acceptance of Trusts. The Trustee hereby accepts the trusts imposed upon it by this Indenture, and agrees to perform said trusts, but only upon and subject to the following express terms and conditions:
(a) The Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture. 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. 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.
(b) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereof and perform the duties required of it hereunder by or through attorneys, agents, or receivers, but shall not be responsible for the acts of any agents, attorneys or receivers appointed by it unless such appointment was the result of negligence or willful misconduct. The Trustee may consult with and act upon the advice of counsel (which may be counsel to the Authority) concerning all matters of trust and its duty hereunder and may conclusively rely upon and shall be wholly protected in reliance upon the advice or opinion of such counsel in respect of any action taken or omitted by it in accordance herewith.
(c) The Trustee shall not be responsible for any recital herein, or in the Tax Certificate or the Bonds, or for any of the supplements thereto or instruments of further assurance, or for the validity, effectiveness or the sufficiency of the security for the Bonds issued hereunder or 39 4896-9720-1970v3/022599-0039
intended to be secured hereby and the Trustee shall not be bound to ascertain or inquire as to the observance or performance of any covenants, conditions or agreements on the part of the Authority hereunder or under Tax Certificate. The Trustee shall have no responsibility, opinion, or liability with respect to any information, statement, or recital in any offering memorandum, official statement, or other disclosure material prepared or distributed with respect to the issuance of the Bonds.
(d) Except as provided in Section 3.2 hereof, the Trustee shall not be accountable for the use of any proceeds of sale of the Bonds delivered hereunder. The Trustee may become the Owner of Bonds secured hereby with the same rights which it would have if not the Trustee; may acquire and dispose of other bonds or evidences of indebtedness of the Authority with the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee; and may act as a depository for and permit any of its officers or directors to act as a member of, or in any other capacity with respect to, any committee formed to protect the rights of Owners of Bonds, whether or not such committee shall represent the Owners of the majority in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding. (e) The Trustee shall be entitled to request and receive written instructions from the Authority 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 thereof. The Trustee shall be protected and shall incur no liability in acting, or refraining from acting, without negligence, in reliance upon any notice, request, direction, consent, certificate, opinion, order, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness (including any Bond) or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or presented by the proper person or persons, not only as to due execution, validity and effectiveness, but also as to the truth and accuracy of any information contained therein. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Trustee without negligence pursuant to this Indenture upon the written request or direction, authority or consent of any person who at the time of making such request or direction or giving such authority or consent is the Owner of any Bond, shall be conclusive and binding upon all future Owners of the same Bond and upon Bonds issued in exchange therefor or in place thereof. The Trustee shall not be bound to recognize any person as an Owner of any Bond or to take any action at such person's request unless the ownership of such Bond by such person shall be reflected on the Bond Register. (f) As to the existence or non-existence of any fact or as to the sufficiency or validity of any instrument, paper or proceeding, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely upon a Certificate of the Authority and/or opinion of counsel as sufficient evidence of the facts therein contained and prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder of which the Trustee has been given notice or is deemed to have notice, as provided in Section 6.2(h) hereof, shall also be at liberty to accept a Certificate of the Authority and/or opinion of counsel to the effect that any particular dealing, transaction or action is necessary or expedient, and shall be fully protected in relying thereon, but may at its discretion secure such further evidence deemed by it to be necessary or advisable, but shall in no case be bound to secure the same. (g) The permissive right of the Trustee to do things enumerated in this Indenture shall not be construed as a duty and notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be answerable for other than its negligence or willful misconduct. The immunities and exceptions from liability of the Trustee shall extend to its officers, directors, employees and agents.
40 4896-9720-1970v3/022599-0039
(h) The Trustee shall not be required to take notice or be deemed to have notice of any Event of Default hereunder except where a Responsible Officer has actual knowledge of such Event of Default and except for the failure by the Authority to make any of the payments to the Trustee required to be made by the Authority pursuant hereto, including payments on the Local Obligations, or failure by the Authority to file with the Trustee any document required by this Indenture to be so filed subsequent to the issuance of the Bonds, unless a Responsible Officer shall be specifically notified in writing of such default by the Authority or by the Owners of at least twenty five percent (25%) in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds and all notices or other instruments required by this Indenture to be delivered to the Trustee must, in order to be effective, be delivered to a Responsible Officer at the Trust Office of the Trustee, and in the absence of such notice so delivered the Trustee may conclusively assume there is no Event of Default hereunder except as aforesaid. Delivery of a notice to the officer and address for the Trustee set forth in Section 9.12 hereof, as updated by the Trustee from time to time, shall be deemed notice to a Responsible Officer.
(i) At any and all reasonable times the Trustee, and its duly authorized agents, attorneys, experts, accountants and representatives, shall have the right fully to inspect all books, papers and records of the Authority pertaining to the Bonds, and to make copies of any of such books, papers and records such as may be desired but which is not privileged by statute or by law.

(1) Before taking any action referred to in Sections 6.5, 8.2, or this Article, the Trustee may require that security or indemnity satisfactory to it in its sole and exclusive discretion be furnished for the reimbursement of all expenses to which it may be put and to protect it against all liability, except liability which is adjudicated to have resulted from its negligence or willful misconduct in connection with any such action.
(m) All moneys received by the Trustee shall, until used or applied or invested as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received but need not be segregated from other funds.
(n) Whether or not expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Article W.
(o) The Trustee shall not be considered in breach of or in default in its obligations hereunder or progress in respect thereto in the event of delay in the performance of such obligations due to unforeseeable causes beyond its control and without its fault or negligence, 41 4896-9720-1970v3/022599-0039
including, but not limited to, Acts of God or of the public enemy or terrorists, acts of a government, acts of the other party, fires, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes, freight embargoes, earthquakes, explosion, mob violence, riot, war, inability to procure or general sabotage or rationing of labor, equipment, facilities, sources of energy, material or supplies in the open market, loss or malfunctions of utilities, computer (hardware or software) or communications service, accidents, labor disputes, the unavailability of the Federal Reserve Bank wire or telex or other wire or communication facility, litigation or arbitration involving a party or others relating to zoning or other governmental action or inaction pertaining to the project, malicious mischief, condemnation, and unusually severe weather or delays of supplies or subcontractors due to such causes or any similar event and/or occurrences beyond the control of the Trustee. (p) The Trustee agrees to accept and act upon facsimile or electronic transmission of written instructions and/or directions 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, directions and other communications furnished by electronic transmission shall be in the form of attachments in PDF format.

Section 6.3 Fees, Charges and Expenses of Trustee. The Trustee shall be entitled to payment and reimbursement by the Authority for reasonable fees for its services rendered hereunder and all advances (including any interest on advances), counsel fees and expenses (including fees and expenses of outside counsel and the allocated costs of internal attorneys) and other expenses reasonably and necessarily made or incurred by the Trustee in connection with such services. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, but only upon an Event of Default with respect to a Series, the Trustee shall have a first lien with right of payment prior to payment of any Bond upon the amounts held in Funds and accounts for such Series hereunder for the foregoing fees, charges and expenses incurred by it respectively. The Trustee's right to payment of such fees and expenses shall survive the discharge and payment or defeasance of the Bonds and termination of this Indenture, and the resignation or removal of the Trustee.
Section 6.4 Notice to Bond Owners of Default. If an Event of Default hereunder occurs with respect to any Bonds of which the Trustee has been given, or is deemed to have notice, as provided in Section 6.2(h) hereof, then the Trustee shall promptly give written notice thereof to the Owner of each such Bond unless such Event of Default shall have been cured before the giving of such notice.
Section 6.5 Intervention by Trustee. In any judicial proceeding to which the Authority is a party which, in the opinion of the Trustee and its counsel, has a substantial bearing on the interests of Owners of any of the Bonds, the Trustee may intervene on behalf of such Bond Owners, and subject to Section 6.2(1) hereof, shall do so if requested in writing by the Owners of at least twenty five percent (25%) in aggregate principal amount of such Bonds then Outstanding.
Section 6.6 Removal of Trustee. With the consent of the Bond Insurer, the Owners of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds may and the Authority may, so long as no Event of Default then exists, upon 30 calendar days' prior written notice to the Trustee 42 4896-9720-1970v3/022599-0039
and the Bond Insurer, remove the Trustee initially appointed, and any successor thereto, by an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing delivered to the Trustee and the Bond Insurer. Upon any such removal, the Authority shall appoint a successor or successors thereto; provided that any such successor shall be a bank, association or trust company meeting the requirements set forth in Section 6.1 hereof.
Section 6.7 Resignation by Trustee. The Trustee and any successor Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder by giving prior written notice of its intention to resign to the Authority, the Community Facilities District, the Bond Insurer and the City by registered or certified mail.

Upon such acceptance, the Authority shall cause notice thereof to be sent to the Bond Insurer and the Bond Owners at their respective addresses set forth on the Bond Register.
Section 6.8 Appointment of Successor Trustee. In the event of the removal or resignation of the Trustee pursuant to Sections 6.6 or 6.7, respectively, the Authority shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee.

Any such successor Trustee appointed by such court shall become the successor Trustee hereunder notwithstanding any action by the Authority purporting to appoint a successor Trustee following the expiration of such thirty (30) calendar day period.
Section 6.9 Merger or Consolidation. Any company into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated or any company resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which it shall be a party or any company to which the Trustee may sell or transfer all or substantially all of its corporate trust business, provided that such company shall meet the requirements set forth in Section 6.1 hereof, shall be the successor to the Trustee and vested with all of the title to the trust estate and all of the trusts, powers, discretions, immunities, privileges and all other matters as was its predecessor, without the execution or filing of any paper or further act, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. The Trustee may assign its rights, duties and obligations hereunder in whole or in part, to an affiliate or subsidiary thereof, provided such Corporation, affiliate or subsidiary shall meet the requirements set forth in Section 6.1 hereof.
Section 6.10 Concerning any Successor Trustee. Every successor Trustee appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to its predecessor and also to the Authority an instrument in writing accepting such appointment hereunder and to the predecessor Trustee an instrument indemnifying the predecessor Trustee for any costs or claims arising during the time the successor Trustee serves as Trustee hereunder and thereupon such successor, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the estates, properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of its predecessors; but such predecessor shall, nevertheless, on the Request of the Authority, or of the Trustee's successor, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor all the estates, properties, rights, powers and trusts of such predecessor hereunder; and every predecessor Trustee shall deliver all securities and moneys held by it as the Trustee hereunder 43 4896-9720-1970v3/022599-0039
to its successor. Should any instrument in writing from the Authority be required by any successor Trustee for more fully and certainly vesting in such successor the estate, rights, powers and duties hereby vested or intended to be vested in the predecessor Trustee, any and all such instruments in writing shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Authority.
Section 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 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 of liability, but excluding any and all losses, 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 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 44 4896-9720-1970v3/022599-0039
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, (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, to the extent permitted by law but only for any one or more of the following purposes; provided, however, that any such amendment or modification which adversely affects the rights and interests of the Bond Insurer shall require the prior written consent of the Bond Insurer:
(a) to add to the covenants and agreements of the Authority contained in this Indenture, other covenants and agreements thereafter to be observed, or to limit or surrender any rights or powers herein reserved to or conferred upon the Authority so long as such addition, limitation or surrender of such rights or powers shall not materially adversely affect the Owners of the Bonds; or
(b) to make such provisions for the purpose of curing any ambiguity, or of curing, correcting or supplementing any defective provision contained in this Indenture, or in any other respect whatsoever as the Authority may deem necessary or desirable, provided under any circumstances that such modifications or amendments shall not materially adversely affect the interests of the Owners of the Bonds; or
(c) to amend any provision hereof relating to the Code as may be necessary or appropriate to assure compliance with the Code and the exclusion from gross income of interest on the Bonds theretofore issued on a tax-exempt basis, including, but not limited to, amending the procedures set forth in Section 5.8 hereof with respect to the calculation of Rebatable Arbitrage; or 45 4896-9720-1970v3/022599-0039

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 complies with the provisions of this Article VII 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 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.
