Section 8.2 Remedies; Rights of Bond Owners. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy at law or in equity to enforce the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Outstanding Bonds, and to enforce any rights of the Trustee under or with respect to this Indenture. Subject to Section 8.3, in the event of an Event of Default arising out of a nonpayment of Trustee's fees and expenses, the Trustee may sue the Authority to seek recovery of its fees and expenses, provided, however, that such recovery may be made only from the funds of the Authority and not from Revenues.
If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and if requested to do so by the Owners of at least twenty-five percent (25%) in aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Bonds, and, in each case, if indemnified as provided in Section 6.2(1), the Trustee shall be obligated to exercise such one or more of the rights and powers conferred by this Article VIII and, as applicable, under the Local Obligations, as the Trustee, being advised by counsel, shall deem most expedient in the interests of the Bond Owners.
No remedy by the terms of this Indenture conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee (or to the Bond Owners) is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, but each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to any other remedy given to the Trustee or to the Bond Owners hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity.
No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Event of Default or acquiescence therein; such right or power may be exercised from time to time as often as may be deemed expedient.
In no event shall the principal of the Bonds be accelerated. 47 4896-9720-1970v3/022599-0039

(b) second, to the payment of all installments of principal of the Bonds then due and unpaid, and
(c) third, to the payment of interest on overdue installments of principal and interest on Bonds.

In the event that the Trustee, upon the happening of an Event of Default, shall have taken any action, by judicial proceedings or otherwise, pursuant to its duties hereunder, whether upon its own discretion or upon the request of the Owners of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding, it may, in the exercise of its discretion for the best interests of the Owners of the Bonds, with respect to the continuance, discontinuance, withdrawal, compromise, settlement or other disposal of such action; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not, unless there no longer continues an Event of Default, discontinue, withdraw, compromise or settle, or otherwise dispose of any litigation pending at law or in equity, if at the time there has been filed with it a written request signed by the Owners of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds opposing such discontinuance, withdrawal, compromise, settlement or other such litigation and provided further that the Trustee shall have the right to decline to comply with such written request unless indemnification satisfactory to it has been provided. Any suit, action or proceeding which any Owner of Bonds shall have the right to bring to enforce any right or remedy hereunder may be brought by the Trustee for the equal benefit and protection of all Owners of Bonds similarly situated and the Trustee is hereby appointed (and the successive respective Owners of the Bonds issued hereunder, by taking and holding the same, shall be conclusively deemed so to have appointed it) the true and lawful attorney in fact of the respective Owners of the Bonds for the purposes of bringing any such suit, action or proceeding and to do and perform any and all acts and things for and on behalf of the respective Owners of the Bonds as a class or classes, as may be necessary or advisable in the opinion of the Trustee as such attorney in fact.

A waiver of any default or breach of duty or contract by the Trustee or any Bond Owners shall not affect any subsequent default or breach of duty or contract, or impair any rights or remedies on any such subsequent default or breach. No delay or omission of the Trustee or any Owner of any of the Bonds to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default or an acquiescence therein; and every power and remedy conferred upon the Trustee or Bond Owners by the Bond Law or by this Article VIII may be enforced and exercised from time to time and as often as shall be deemed expedient by the Trustee or the Bond Owners, as the case may be.
Section 8.7 Rights and Remedies of Bond Owners. No Owner of any Bond issued hereunder shall have the right to institute any suit, action or proceeding at law or in equity, for any remedy under or upon this Indenture, unless (a) such Owner shall have previously given to the Trustee written notice of the occurrence of an Event of Default; (b) the Owners of a majority in aggregate principal amount of all the Bonds then Outstanding shall have made written request upon the Trustee to exercise the powers hereinbefore granted or to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name; (c) said Owners shall have tendered to the Trustee indemnity reasonably acceptable to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request; and (d) the Trustee shall have refused or omitted to comply with such request for a period of sixty (60) days after such written request shall have been received by, and said tender of indemnity shall have been made to, the Trustee.
Such notification, request, tender of indemnity and refusal or omission are hereby declared, in every case, to be conditions precedent to the exercise by any Owner of Bonds of any remedy hereunder; it being understood and intended that no one or more Owners of Bonds shall have any right in any manner whatever by his or their action to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided, and that all proceedings at law or in equity to enforce any provision of this Indenture shall be instituted, had and maintained in the manner herein provided and for the equal benefit of all Owners of the Outstanding Bonds.

The principal of and interest on the Bonds and any premiums upon the redemption of any thereof, shall not be a legal or equitable pledge, charge, lien or encumbrance upon any property of the Authority or upon any of its income, receipts or revenues except the Revenues and other funds pledged to the payment thereof as in this Indenture provided.

established with the Trustee pursuant to this Indenture and available for such purpose, be fully sufficient to pay and discharge the indebtedness on such Bonds (including all principal, interest and redemption premiums) at or before their respective maturity dates.

MUNICIPAL BOND INSURANCE POLICY AND RESERVE SURETY BOND Section 10.1 Rights of the Bond Insurer. As long as the Insurance Policy is in full force and effect, the Authority and the Trustee agree to comply with the following provisions, notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary. (a) The prior written consent of the Bond Insurer shall be a condition precedent to the deposit of any other Reserve Credit Facility, other than the Reserve Surety Bond, provided in lieu of a cash deposit into the Reserve Fund. Amounts on deposit in the Reserve Fund shall be applied solely to the payment of debt service due on Outstanding Bonds, and the Trustee shall draw on the Reserve Accounts of the Reserve Fund to pay debt service and exhaust amounts on deposit or otherwise available therein prior to making any claim on the Insurance Policy. (b) The Bond Insurer shall be deemed to be the sole holder of the 2025 Bonds for the purpose of exercising any voting right or privilege or giving any consent or direction or taking any other action that the Owners of the 2025 Bonds are entitled to take pursuant to this Indenture pertaining to (i) defaults and remedies and (ii) the duties and obligations of the Trustee. In furtherance thereof and as a term of this Indenture and each 2025 Bond, the Trustee (solely with respect to the 2025 Bonds) and each Owner of a 2025 Bond appoint the Bond Insurer as their agent and attorney -in -fact and agree that the Bond Insurer may at any time during the continuation of any proceeding by or against the Authority or any Community Facilities District under the United States Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, rehabilitation or similar law (an "Insolvency Proceeding") direct all matters relating to such Insolvency Proceeding, including without limitation, (A) all matters relating to any claim or enforcement proceeding in connection with an Insolvency Proceeding (a "Claim"), (B) the direction of any appeal of any order relating to any Claim, (C) the posting of any surety, supersedeas or performance bond pending any such appeal, and (D) the right to vote to accept or reject any plan of adjustment. In addition, the Trustee (solely with respect to the 2025 Bonds) and each Owner of a 2025 Bond delegate and assign to the Bond Insurer, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the rights of the Trustee and each Owner of a 2025 Bond in the conduct of any Insolvency Proceeding, including, without limitation, all rights of any party to an adversary proceeding or action with respect to any court order issued in connection with any such Insolvency Proceeding. Remedies granted to the Owners of 2025 Bonds shall expressly include mandamus.
(c) Upon the occurrence of an optional redemption of 2025 Bonds in part, the selection of such 2025 Bonds to be redeemed shall be subject to the approval of the Bond Insurer; provided, however, that with respect to an optional redemption of 2025 Bonds in part resulting from the redemption of all outstanding maturities of a series of Local Obligations, such approval of the Bond Insurer shall not be required. The exercise of any provision of this Indenture which permits the purchase of 2025 Bonds in lieu of redemption shall require the prior written approval of the Bond Insurer if any 2025 Bond so purchased is not cancelled upon purchase. (d) The rights granted to the Bond Insurer under this Indenture or under the Local Obligation Bond Indentures to request, consent to or direct any action are rights granted to the Bond Insurer in consideration of its issuance of the Insurance Policy. Any exercise by the Bond Insurer of such rights is merely an exercise of the Bond Insurer's contractual rights and shall not be construed or deemed to be taken for the benefit, or on behalf, of the Owners of the 2025 Bonds and such action 55 4896-9720-1970v3/022599-0039
does not evidence any position of the Bond Insurer, affirmative or negative, as to whether the consent of the Owners of the 2025 Bonds or any other person is required in addition to the consent of the Bond Insurer.
(e) Each of the Authority and the Trustee, to the extent directed by the Authority, at the expense of the Authority, covenants and agrees to take such action (including, as applicable, filing of UCC fmancing statements and continuations thereof) as is necessary from time to time to preserve the priority of the pledge of the Revenues under applicable law.

If, on the second Business Day prior to the related Payment Date, there continues to be a deficiency in the amount available to pay the principal of and interest on the 2025 Bonds due on such Payment Date, the Trustee shall make a claim under the Insurance Policy and give notice to the Bond Insurer and the Bond Insurer's Fiscal Agent (if any) by telephone of the amount of such deficiency, and the allocation of such deficiency between the amount required to pay interest on the 2025 Bonds and the amount required to pay principal of the 2025 Bonds, confirmed in writing to the Bond Insurer and the Bond Insurer's Fiscal Agent by 12:00 noon, New York City time, on such second Business Day by filling in the form of Notice of Claim and Certificate delivered with the Insurance Policy. (b) The Trustee shall designate any portion of payment of principal on 2025 Bonds paid by the Bond Insurer, whether by virtue of mandatory sinking fund redemption, maturity or other advancement of maturity, on its books as a reduction in the principal amount of 2025 Bonds registered to the then current Owners of the 2025 Bonds, whether DTC or its nominee or otherwise, and shall issue a replacement 2025 Bond to the Bond Insurer, registered in the name of , in a principal amount equal to the amount of principal so paid (without regard to authorized denominations); provided that the Trustee's failure to so designate any payment or issue any replacement 2025 Bond shall have no effect on the amount of principal or interest payable by the Authority on any 2025 Bond or the subrogation rights of the Bond Insurer. (c) The Trustee shall keep a complete and accurate record of all funds deposited by the Bond Insurer into the Policy Payments Account (defined below) and the allocation of such funds to payment of interest on and principal of any 2025 Bond.

which a claim was made. Such amounts shall be disbursed by the Trustee to Owners of the 2025 Bonds in the same manner as principal and interest payments are to be made with respect to the 2025 Bonds under the sections hereof regarding payment of 2025 Bonds. It shall not be necessary for such payments to be made by checks or wire transfers separate from the check or wire transfer used to pay debt service with other funds available to make such payments. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Authority agrees to pay to the Bond Insurer (i) a sum equal to the total of all amounts paid by the Bond Insurer under the Insurance Policy (the "Insurer Advances"); and (ii) interest on such Insurer Advances from the date paid by the Bond Insurer until payment thereof in full, payable to the Bond Insurer at the Late Payment Rate per annum (collectively, the "Insurer Reimbursement Amounts"). For purposes of this Section 10.2, "Late Payment Rate" means the lesser of (a) the greater of (i) the per annum rate of interest, publicly announced from time to time by JPMorgan Chase Bank at its principal office in The City of New York, as its prime or base lending rate (any change in such rate of interest to be effective on the date such change is announced by JPMorgan Chase Bank) plus 3%, and (ii) the then applicable highest rate of interest on the 2025 Bonds and (b) 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. The Authority hereby covenants and agrees that the Bond Insurer Reimbursement Amounts are secured by a lien on and pledge of the Revenues and payable from such Revenues on a parity with debt service due on Outstanding Bonds. (e) Funds held in the Policy Payments Account shall not be invested by the Trustee and may not be applied to satisfy any costs, expenses or liabilities of the Trustee. Any funds remaining in the Policy Payments Account following an Interest Payment Date shall promptly be remitted to the Bond Insurer.
(f) The Bond Insurer shall, to the extent it makes any payment of principal of or interest on the 2025 Bonds, become subrogated to the rights of the recipients of such payments in accordance with the terms of the Insurance Policy (which subrogation rights shall also include the rights of any such recipients in connection with any Insolvency Proceeding). Each obligation of the Authority to the Bond Insurer under this Indenture, the 2025 Bonds, the Local Obligations and the Local Obligation Bond Indentures (collectively, the "Transaction Documents") shall survive discharge or termination of such Transaction Documents. (g) After payment of reasonable expenses of the Trustee, the application of funds realized upon default shall be applied to the payment of expenses of the Authority only after the payment of past due and current debt service on the 2025 Bonds and amounts required to restore the Reserve Fund to the Reserve Requirement.
(h) The Bond Insurer shall be entitled to pay principal or interest on the 2025 Bonds that shall become Due for Payment but shall be unpaid by reason of Nonpayment by the Authority (as such terms are defined in the Insurance Policy) whether or not the Bond Insurer has received a notice of Nonpayment or a claim upon the Insurance Policy.
Section 10.3 Amounts Paid by Insurer. Amounts paid by the Bond Insurer under the Insurance Policy and the Reserve Surety Bond shall not be deemed paid for purposes of this Indenture and the 2025 Bonds relating to such payments shall remain Outstanding and continue to be due and owing until paid by the Authority in accordance with this Indenture. This Indenture shall not be discharged unless all amounts due or to become due to the Bond Insurer have been paid in full or duly provided for.

The Bond Insurer reserves the right to charge a reasonable fee as a condition to executing any amendment, waiver or consent proposed in respect of this Indenture or any other Transaction Document.
Section 10.5 Provision of Information to Insurer. The Bond Insurer shall be provided with the following information by the Authority or the Trustee, as the case may be:
(a) Notice of any draw upon the Reserve Fund within two Business Days after knowledge thereof other than (i) withdrawals of amounts in excess of the Reserve Requirement and (ii) withdrawals in connection with a refunding of Bonds; (b) Notice of any default known to the Trustee or the Authority within five Business Days after knowledge thereof;
(c) Prior notice of the redemption of any of the Bonds or the Local Obligations, including the principal amount, maturities and CUSIP numbers thereof; (d) Notice of the resignation or removal of the Trustee and the appointment of, and acceptance of duties by, any successor thereto;

Section 10.7 Notice to Insurer by Trustee. The Trustee shall notify the Bond Insurer of any failure of the Authority or the Community Facilities District to provide notices, certificates and other information under the Transaction Documents of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge.
Section 10.8 Effect of Insurance Policy. In determining whether any amendment, consent, waiver or other action to be taken, or any failure to take action, under this Indenture would adversely affect the security for the Bonds or the rights of the Owners of the Bonds, the Trustee shall consider the effect of any such amendment, consent, waiver, action or inaction as if there were no Insurance Policy.
Section 10.9 Impairment of Insurer's Rights. No contract shall be entered into or any action taken by which the rights of the Bond Insurer or security for or sources of payment of the Bonds may be impaired or prejudiced in any material respect except upon obtaining the prior written consent of the Bond Insurer.

This Bond is one of a duly authorized issue of bonds of the Authority designated the "Beaumont Public Improvement Authority Local Agency Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 2025" (the "Bonds"), limited in principal amount to Dollars ($ ), secured by an Indenture of Trust dated as of [June] 1, 2025 (the "Indenture"), by and between the Authority and the Trustee. Reference is hereby made to the Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto for a description of the rights thereunder of the owners of the Bonds, of the nature and extent of the Revenues, of the rights, duties and immunities of the Trustee and of the rights and obligations of the Authority thereunder; and all of the terms of the Indenture are hereby incorporated herein and constitute a contract between the Authority and the Registered Owner hereof, and to all of the provisions of which Indenture the Registered Owner hereof, by acceptance hereof, assents and agrees. Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Indenture.
This Bond is a limited obligation of the Authority, payable solely from the Revenues and funds pledged under the Indenture. This Bond is not a debt of the City of Beaumont (the "City") or the State of California (the "State") or any of its political subdivisions (except the Authority and only to the extent set forth in the Indenture), and none of said City, the State or any of its political subdivisions is liable hereon. The Authority has no taxing power.
The Bonds are authorized to be issued pursuant to the provisions of the Marks -Roos Local Bond Pooling Act of 1985, as amended, constituting Article 4 (commencing with Section 6584) of Chapter 5 of Division 7 of Title 1 of the Government Code of the State of California (the "Act").
The Bonds are limited obligations of the Authority and, as and to the extent set forth in the Indenture, are payable solely from and secured by a first lien on and pledge of the Revenues and certain other funds held by the Trustee as provided in the Indenture. The Revenues and such other funds constitute a trust fund for the security and payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds, except to the extent otherwise provided in the Indenture. The full faith and credit of the Authority is not pledged to the payment of the principal of or interest or redemption premiums (if any) on the Bonds. The Bonds are not secured by a legal or equitable pledge of, or charge, lien or encumbrance upon, any of the property of the Authority or any of its income or receipts, except the Revenues and such other funds as provided in the Indenture.
The Bonds have been issued to provide funds to purchase certain obligations of the City of Beaumont Community Facilities District No. 93-1 (the "Community Facilities District") as identified in the Indenture (collectively, the "Local Obligations"). The Community Facilities District, in turn, will take the proceeds that it receives from the sale of the Local Obligations to the Authority to refund certain outstanding indebtedness of the Community Facilities District, all as more particularly A-2
4896-9720-1970v3/022599-0039
described in the Indenture. The obligations of the Community Facilities District to make payments of principal and interest on the Local Obligations are limited obligations secured only as set forth therein.
The Bonds maturing on or before September 1, 20_ are not subject to optional redemption prior to maturity. The Bonds maturing on or after September 1, 20 may be redeemed at the option of the Authority, from any source of available funds, prior to maturity on any Interest Payment Date on or after September 1, 20_ as a whole, or in part from maturities of the Local Obligations simultaneously redeemed, if any redemption of Local Obligations is being made in conjunction with such optional redemption, and otherwise from such maturities as are selected by the Authority, and by lot within a maturity, at a redemption price equal to the par amount of the Bonds to be redeemed, together with accrued interest thereon to the date of redemption, without premium.
The Bonds are subject to special redemption on any Interest Payment Date from proceeds of early redemption of the Local Obligations from prepayments of Special Taxes (as such terms are defined in the Indenture), in whole or in part, from maturities corresponding proportionately to the maturities of the Local Obligations simultaneously redeemed, at the principal amount thereof, plus a premium expressed below as a percentage of the principal amount so redeemed, plus accrued interest to the date of redemption thereof:
Redemption Dates Redemption Prices
Any Interest Payment Date through March 1, 20
September 1, 20 and March 1, 20
September 1, 20 and March 1, 2025
September 1,20 and any Interest Payment Date thereafter 103%
102
101
100
The Bonds maturing on September 1, 20_, September 1, 20_, September 1, 20_ and September 1, 20_ are subject to mandatory sinking fund redemption prior to maturity, in part on September 1, 20_, September 1, 20_, September 1, 20_ and September 1, 20_, respectively, and on each September 1 thereafter by lot, in accordance with the schedules of sinking fund payments set forth in the Indenture at a redemption price equal to the principal amount of the Bonds to be redeemed, together with accrued interest to the redemption date, without premium.
In the event that Bonds maturing on September 1, 20 , September 1, 20_, September 1, 20 and September 1, 20 are redeemed pursuant to the optional or special redemption provisions described above, the sinking fund payments will be reduced as nearly as practicable on a proportionate basis in integral multiples of $5,000.
Notice of redemption with respect to the Bonds to be redeemed shall be mailed to the registered owners thereof not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date by first class mail, postage prepaid, to the addresses set forth in the registration books in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture provided, however, so long as the Bonds are registered in the name of the Nominee, notice of redemption shall be given in such manner as complies with the requirements of DTC. Neither a failure of the Registered Owner hereof to receive such notice nor any defect therein will affect the validity of the proceedings for redemption. All Bonds or portions thereof so called for redemption will cease to accrue interest on the specified redemption date, provided that funds for the redemption are on deposit with the Trustee on the redemption date. Thereafter, the registered owners A-3
4896-9720-1970v3/022599-0039
of such Bonds shall have no rights except to receive payment of the redemption price upon the surrender of the Bonds.
Unless funds for the optional redemption of any Bonds are irrevocably deposited with the Trustee prior to rendering notice of redemption to the Bondowners, such notice shall state that such redemption is subject to the deposit of funds by the Authority. Any notice of optional redemption shall be cancelled and annulled if for any reason funds will not be or are not available on the date fixed for redemption for the payment in full of the Bonds then called for redemption, and such cancellation shall not constitute an Event of Default under the Indenture. The Authority and the Trustee shall have no liability to the Owners or any other party related to or arising from such rescission of redemption. The Trustee shall send notice of such rescission of redemption in the same manner as the original notice of redemption was sent.
If this Bond is called for redemption and payment is duly provided therefor as specified in the Indenture, interest shall cease to accrue hereon from and after the date fixed for redemption.
The Bonds are issuable as fully registered Bonds without coupons in denominations of $5,000 or any integral multiple thereof. Subject to the limitations and upon payment of the charges, if any, provided in the Indenture, fully registered Bonds may be exchanged at the Trust Office of the Trustee for a like aggregate principal amount and maturity of fully registered Bonds of other authorized denominations.
This Bond is transferable by the Registered Owner hereof, in person or by its attorney duly authorized in writing, at the Trust Office of the Trustee, but only in the manner, subject to the limitations and upon payment of the charges provided in the Indenture, and upon surrender and cancellation of this Bond. Upon such transfer a new fully registered Bond or Bonds, of authorized denomination or denominations, for the same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the transferee in exchange herefor. The Trustee shall not be required to register the transfer or exchange of any Bond (i) during the 15 days prior to selection of Bonds for redemption, or (ii) selected for redemption.
The Authority and the Trustee may treat the Registered Owner hereof as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes, and the Authority and the Trustee shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary. The Indenture and the rights and obligations of the Authority and of the owners of the Bonds and of the Trustee may be modified or amended from time to time and at any time in the manner, to the extent, and upon the terms provided in the Indenture; provided that 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 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 its written consent thereto, modify any of the rights or obligations of the Trustee, all as more fully set forth in the Indenture.
It is hereby certified by the Authority that all things, conditions and acts required to exist, to have happened and to have been performed precedent to and in the issuance of this Bond do exist, have happened and have been performed in due time, form and manner as required by the Constitution and statutes of the State of California and by the Act, and that the amount of this Bond, A-4
4896-9720-1970v3/022599-0039
together with all other indebtedness of the Authority, does not exceed any limit prescribed by the Constitution or statutes of the State of California or by the Act.
This Bond shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture, or become valid or obligatory for any purpose, until the certificate of authentication hereon shall have been signed by the Trustee.

Any meals in connection with or adjacent to meetings, rating agency presentations, pricing activities or other transaction - related activities shall be considered an expense of the transaction and included in the expense component of the Underwriter's discount.
11. Issue Price.
A. The Underwriter agrees to assist the Authority in establishing the issue price of the Bonds and shall execute and deliver to the Authority at Closing an "issue price" or similar certificate, together with the supporting pricing wires or equivalent communications, substantially in the form attached hereto as Appendix K, with such modifications as may be appropriate or necessary, in the reasonable judgment of the Underwriter, the Authority and Bond Counsel, to accurately reflect, as applicable, the sales price or prices or the initial offering price or prices to the public of the Bonds.
B. Except as otherwise set forth in Appendix A-1 attached hereto, the Authority will treat the first price at which 10% of each maturity of the Bonds (the "10% test") is sold to the public as the issue price of that maturity. At or promptly after the execution of this Purchase Agreement, the Underwriter shall report to the Authority the price or prices at which it has sold to the public each maturity of Bonds. If at that time the 10% test has not been satisfied as to any maturity of the Bonds, the Underwriter agrees to promptly report to the Authority the prices at which it sells the unsold Bonds of that maturity to the public. That reporting obligation shall continue, whether or not the Closing Date has occurred, until either (i) the Underwriter has sold all Bonds of that maturity or (ii) the 10% test has been satisfied as to the Bonds of that maturity, provided that, the Underwriter's reporting obligation after the Closing Date may be at reasonable periodic intervals or otherwise upon request of the Authority or Bond Counsel. For purposes of this Section, if Bonds mature on the same date but have different interest rates, each separate CUSIP number within that maturity will be treated as a separate maturity of the Bonds. 19
C. The Underwriter confirms that it has offered the Bonds to the public on or before the date of this Purchase Agreement at the offering price or prices (the "initial offering price"), or at the corresponding yield or yields, set forth in Appendix A-1 attached hereto.
Appendix A-1 also sets forth, as of the date of this Purchase Agreement, the maturities, if any, of the Bonds for which the Underwriter represents that (i) the 10% test has been satisfied (assuming orders are confirmed by the close of the business day immediately following the date of this Purchase Agreement) and (ii) the 10% test has not been satisfied and for which the Authority and the Underwriter agree that the restrictions set forth in the next sentence shall apply, which will allow the Authority to treat the initial offering price to the public of each such maturity as of the sale date as the issue price of that maturity (the "hold -the -offering -price rule"). So long as the hold -the -offering - price rule remains applicable to any maturity of the Bonds, the Underwriter will neither offer nor sell unsold Bonds of that maturity to any person at a price that is higher than the initial offering price to the public during the period starting on the sale date and ending on the earlier of the following:
a. the close of the fifth (5th) business day after the sale date; or b. the date on which the Underwriter has sold at least 10% of that maturity of the Bonds to the public at a price that is no higher than the initial offering price to the public.
The Underwriter will advise the Authority promptly after the close of the fifth (5th) business day after the sale date whether it has sold 10% of that maturity of the Bonds to the public at a price that is no higher than the initial offering price to the public.
D. The Underwriter confirms that:
(i) any selling group agreement and any third -party distribution agreement relating to the initial sale of the Bonds to the public, together with the related pricing wires, contains or will contain language obligating each dealer who is a member of the selling group and each broker -dealer that is a party to such third -party distribution agreement, as applicable:
(A)(i) to report the prices at which it sells to the public the unsold Bonds of each maturity allocated to it, whether or not the Closing Date has occurred, until either all Bonds of that maturity allocated to it have been sold or it is notified by the Underwriter that the 10% test has been satisfied as to the Bonds of that maturity, provided that, the reporting obligation after the Closing Date may be reasonable periodic intervals or otherwise upon request of the Underwriter and (ii) to comply with the hold -the -offering -price rule, if applicable, if and for so long as directed by the Underwriter,
(B) to promptly notify the Underwriter of any sales of Bonds that, to its knowledge, are made to a purchaser who is a related party to an underwriter participating in the initial sale of the Bonds to the public (each such term being used as defined below), and (C) to acknowledge that, unless otherwise advised by the dealer or broker -dealer, the Underwriter shall assume that each order submitted by the dealer or broker -dealer is a sale to the public.
(ii) any selling group agreement relating to the initial sale of the Bonds to the public, together with the related pricing wires, contains or will contain language obligating each dealer that 20
is a party to a third -party distribution agreement to be employed in connection with the initial sale of the Bonds to the public to require each broker -dealer that is a party to such third -party distribution agreement to (A) report the prices at which it sells to the public the unsold Bonds of each maturity allocated to it, whether or not the Closing Date has occurred, until either all Bonds of that maturity allocated to it have been sold or it is notified by the Underwriter or the dealer that the 10% test has been satisfied as to the Bonds of that maturity, provided that, the reporting obligation after the Closing Date may be at reasonable periodic intervals or otherwise upon request of the Underwriter or the dealer, and (B) comply with the hold -the -offering -price rule, if applicable, if and for so long as directed by the Underwriter or the dealer and as set forth in the related pricing wires.
E. The Authority acknowledges that, in making the representation set forth in this section, the Underwriter will rely on (i) in the event a selling group has been created in connection with the initial sale of the Bonds to the public, the agreement of each dealer who is a member of the selling group to comply with the requirements for establishing issue price of the Bonds, including, but not limited to, its agreement to comply with the hold -the -offering -price rule, if applicable to the Bonds, as set forth in a selling group agreement and the related pricing wires, and (ii) in the event that a third -party distribution agreement was employed in connection with the initial sale of the Bonds to the public, the agreement of each broker -dealer that is a party to such agreement to comply with the requirements for establishing issue price of the Bonds, including, but not limited to, its agreement to comply with the hold -the -offering -price rule, if applicable to the Bonds, as set forth in the third -party distribution agreement and the related pricing wires. The Authority further acknowledges that the Underwriter shall not be liable for the failure of any dealer who is a member of a selling group, or of any broker -dealer that is a party to a third -party distribution agreement, to comply with its corresponding agreement to comply with the requirements for establishing issue price of the Bonds, including, but not limited to, its agreement to comply with the hold -the -offering - price rule, if applicable to the Bonds.
F. The Underwriter acknowledges that sales of any Bonds to any person that is a related party to an underwriter participating in the initial sale of the Bonds to the public (each such term being used as defined below) shall not constitute sales to the public for purposes of this section.
Further, for purposes of this section:
a. "public" means any person other than an underwriter or a related party; b. "underwriter" means (A) any person that agrees pursuant to a written contract with the Authority (or with the lead underwriter to form an underwriting syndicate) to participate in the initial sale of the Bonds to the public and (B) any person that agrees pursuant to a written contract directly or indirectly with a person described in clause (A) to participate in the initial sale of the Bonds to the public (including a member of a selling group or a party to a third -party distribution agreement participating in the initial sale of the Bonds to the public); c. a purchaser of any of the Bonds is a "related party" to an underwriter if the underwriter and the purchaser are subject, directly or indirectly, to (A) more than 50% common ownership of the voting power or the total value of their stock, if both entities are corporations (including direct ownership by one corporation of another), (B) more than 50% common ownership of their capital interests or profits interests, if both entities are partnerships (including direct ownership by one partnership of another), or (C) more than 50% common ownership of the value of the outstanding stock of the corporation or the capital interests or profit interests of the partnership, 21
as applicable, if one entity is a corporation and the other entity is a partnership (including direct ownership of the applicable stock or interests by one entity of the other); and d. sale date" means the date of execution of this Purchase Agreement by all parties.

All of the representations, warranties, and agreements of the Authority and the District contained in this Purchase Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any investigations made by or on behalf of the Underwriter, or (ii) delivery of any payment for the Bonds pursuant to this Purchase Agreement.

All capitalized terms used herein not otherwise defined shall be as defined in the Agreements.
In rendering the opinions set forth below, I have examined the originals, or copies certified to my satisfaction, of such agreements (including, without limitation, the Agreements), certificates and other statements of government officials and corporate officers of Zions, documents and other papers as I deemed relevant and necessary as a basis for such opinion and have relied as to factual matters on representations, warranties and other statements therein. With respect to parties other than Zions, in such examination, I have assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals, the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons and the conformity to the originals of all documents submitted to me as copies. In my examination of documents (including, without limitation, the Agreements) executed by parties other than Zions, I have also assumed that, if the opinions set forth in paragraphs (1) through (4) below referred to such parties and such documents, such opinions would be true and correct with respect to such parties and such documents.
The opinions expressed herein are limited to the laws of the State of California and the Federal law of the United States, and I do not express any opinion herein concerning any other law.
Based upon the foregoing, I am of the opinion that:
(1) Zions is a national banking association duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization and has the corporate power to execute and deliver the Agreements and any other documentation relating to the Agreements, and to perform its obligations under the Agreements.

(4) The Agreements have been duly executed and delivered and constitute the valid and legally binding obligations of Zions enforceable against it in accordance with their terms except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought as a proceeding in equity or at law).

(1) the amount specified by the District as representing past due interest on the Bonds shall be deposited to the Interest Account of the Special Tax Fund; and (2) the amount specified by the District as representing past due principal of the Bonds shall be deposited to the Principal Account of the Special Tax Fund.

At least ten (10) Business Days prior to each Interest Payment Date, the Trustee shall notify the District in writing the amount of Special Taxes required to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds and any Parity Bonds on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date and the amount necessary to cause the balance on deposit in the Reserve Account to equal the District's Proportionate Share and to cause the balance in the Reserve Account to equal the Reserve Requirement, if any. The Trustee shall notify the Authority Trustee at least five (5) Business Days prior to each Interest Payment Date if there is not on deposit with the Trustee, after making all of the transfers required hereunder, moneys sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds and any Parity Bonds.
Section 3.3. Administrative Expense Fund. The Trustee shall transfer from the first available Special Taxes in the Special Tax Fund to the Administrative Expense Fund an amount such that the total amounts so transferred in any Bond Year do not exceed the Administrative Expense Requirement. In the event Administrative Expenses exceed the Administrative Expense Requirement in any Bond Year, the total amount transferred in a Bond Year shall not exceed the Administrative Expense Requirement until such time as there has been deposited to the Interest Account and the Principal Account an amount, together with any amounts already on deposit therein, that is sufficient to pay the interest and principal on all Bonds and Parity Bonds due in such Bond Year, to restore the Reserve Account to the Reserve Requirement and to restore the CFD No. 93-1 IA 16 Reserve Account to the Proportionate Share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the direction of the District, amounts in excess of the Administrative Expense Requirement may be transferred to the Administrative Expense Fund prior to the transfers to the Interest Account, the Principal Account and the Redemption Account pursuant to Sections 3.4 and 3.5 below to the extent necessary to collect delinquent Special Taxes. Following the required transfers pursuant to Sections 3.4 and 3.5 below of amounts sufficient to pay the interest and principal on all Bonds and Parity Bonds due in a Bond Year, to restore the Reserve Account to the Reserve Requirement and to restore the CFD No. 93-1 IA 16 Reserve Account to the Proportionate Share, an Authorized Representative of the City may direct the Trustee, in writing, to transfer additional amounts from the Special Tax Fund to the Administrative Expense Fund. Moneys in the Administrative Expense Fund may be held uninvested or invested in any Authorized Investments.
Section 3.4. Interest Account and Principal Account of the Special Tax Fund. The principal of and interest due on the Bonds and any Parity Bonds until maturity, other than principal due upon redemption, shall be paid by the Trustee from the Principal Account and the Interest Account of the Special Tax Fund, respectively. For the purpose of assuring that the payment of principal of and interest on the Bonds and any Parity Bonds will be made when due, after making the transfer required by Section 3.3, at least five Business Days prior to each March 1 and September 1, the Trustee shall make the following transfers from the Special Tax Fund first to the Interest Account and then to the Principal Account; provided, however, that to the extent that deposits have been made in the Interest Account or the Principal Account from the proceeds of the sale of an issue of the Bonds, any Parity Bonds, or otherwise, the transfer from the Special Tax Fund need not be made. At least fifteen (15) days prior to an Interest Payment Date, the Trustee shall notify the Authority and the Authority Trustee if there are insufficient funds to provide for the payment of principal and interest due on the Bonds and any Parity Bonds on such Interest Payment Date.
Section 3.5. Reserve Account of the Special Tax Fund. After making the deposits required by Section 3.4 above, the Trustee shall next transfer to the Reserve Account the amount, if any, necessary to (i) pay Policy Costs with respect to the Reserve Policy then due and payable, (ii) pay Policy Costs with respect to any Additional Reserve Policy then due and payable, and (iii) cause the amount in the Reserve Account, taking into account the amounts then on deposit in the Reserve 19 4907-1641-4514v2/022599-0039
Account, to be equal to the Reserve Requirement. Amounts deposited to the Reserve Account to pay any Policy Costs due under the Reserve Policy or under any Additional Reserve Policy held by the Authority Trustee shall be transferred by the Trustee to the Authority Trustee to be applied in accordance with the Authority Indenture, and amounts deposited to the Reserve Account to pay Policy Costs with respect to any other Additional Reserve Policy shall be disbursed by the Trustee to the provider of such Additional Reserve Policy or as otherwise agreed to by such provider. If subsequent to the issuance of the Bonds a Reserve Requirement is established by the District, thereafter there shall be maintained in the Reserve Account of the Special Tax Fund an amount equal to the Reserve Requirement to be applied as follows:
(a) Moneys in the Reserve Account shall be used solely for the purpose of paying the principal of, including Sinking Fund Payments, and interest on any Parity Bonds when due in the event that the moneys in the Interest Account and the Principal Account of the Special Tax Fund are insufficient therefor and for the purpose of making any required transfer to a rebate fund established in connection with the issuance of Parity Bonds upon written direction from the District. If the amounts in the Interest Account, the Principal Account of the Special Tax Fund are insufficient to pay the principal of, including Sinking Fund Payments, or interest on any Parity Bonds when due, or amounts in the Special Tax Fund are insufficient to make transfers to any rebate fund when required, the Trustee shall withdraw from the Reserve Account for deposit in the Interest Account, the Principal Account or the Redemption Account of the Special Tax Fund or a rebate fund, as applicable, moneys necessary for such purposes.
(b) Whenever moneys are withdrawn from the Reserve Account, after making the required transfers referred to in Section 3.4 above, the Trustee shall transfer to the Reserve Account from available moneys in the Special Tax Fund, or from any other legally available funds which the District elects to apply to such purpose, the amount needed to restore the amount of such Reserve Account to the Reserve Requirement; provided, however, that such amount so deposited shall be on a pro rata basis with any amounts necessary to pay Policy Costs. Moneys in the Special Tax Fund shall be deemed available for transfer to the Reserve Account only if the Trustee determines that such amounts will not be needed to make the deposits required to be made to the Interest Account or the Principal Account of the Special Tax Fund in accordance with Section 3.4 above. If amounts in the Special Tax Fund or otherwise transferred to replenish the Reserve Account are inadequate to restore the Reserve Account to the Reserve Requirement, then the District shall include the amount necessary to restore the Reserve Account to the Reserve Requirement in the next annual Special Tax levy to the extent of the maximum permitted Special Tax rates.
In connection with an optional redemption of Parity Bonds in accordance with any Supplemental Indenture, or a partial defeasance of Parity Bonds in accordance with Section 9.1 hereof, amounts in the Reserve Account may be applied to such optional redemption or partial defeasance so long as the amount on deposit in the Reserve Account following such optional redemption or partial defeasance equals the Reserve Requirement. To the extent that the Reserve Account is at the Reserve Requirement as of the first day of the final Bond Year for an issue of Parity Bonds, amounts in the Reserve Account may be applied to pay the principal of and interest due on an issue of Parity Bonds in the final Bond Year for such issue. Moneys in the Reserve Account in excess of the Reserve Requirement not transferred in accordance with the preceding provisions of this paragraph shall be withdrawn from the Reserve Account on the fifth Business Day before each March 1 and September 1 and transferred to the Interest Account of the Special Tax Fund. 20 4907-1641-4514v2/022599-0039
Section 3.6. Redemption Account of the Special Tax Fund. (a) After making the transfers and deposits required by Sections 3.4 and 3.5 above, and in accordance with the District's election to call Bonds for optional redemption as set forth in Section 4.1(a) hereof, or to call Parity Bonds for optional redemption as set forth in any Supplemental Indenture for Parity Bonds, the Trustee shall transfer from the Special Tax Fund and deposit in the Redemption Account moneys available for the purpose and sufficient to pay the principal and the premiums, if any, payable on the Bonds or Parity Bonds called for optional redemption; provided, however, that amounts in the Special Tax Fund may be applied to optionally redeem Bonds and Parity Bonds only if immediately following such redemption the amount in the Reserve Account will equal the Reserve Requirement and the amount in the CFD No. 93-1 IA 16 Reserve Account will equal the Proportionate Share.
(b) Prepayments deposited to the Redemption Account shall be applied on the redemption date established pursuant to Section 4.1(c) hereof for the use of such Prepayments to the payment of the principal of, premium, and interest on the Bonds and Parity Bonds to be redeemed with such Prepayments.
(c) Moneys set aside in the Redemption Account shall be used solely for the purpose of redeeming Bonds and Parity Bonds and shall be applied on or after the redemption date to the payment of principal of and premium, if any, on the Bonds or Parity Bonds to be redeemed upon presentation and surrender of such Bonds or Parity Bonds and in the case of an optional redemption or an extraordinary redemption from Prepayments to pay the interest thereon; provided, however, that in lieu or partially in lieu of such call and redemption, moneys deposited in the Redemption Account, other than Prepayments, may be used to purchase Outstanding Bonds or Parity Bonds in the manner hereinafter provided. Purchases of Outstanding Bonds or Parity Bonds may be made by the District at public or private sale as and when and at such prices as the District may in its discretion determine but only at prices (including brokerage or other expenses) not more than par plus accrued interest, plus, in the case of moneys set aside for an optional redemption, the premium applicable at the next following call date according to the premium schedule established pursuant to Section 4.1(a) hereof, or in the case of Parity Bonds the premium established in any Supplemental Indenture. Any accrued interest payable upon the purchase of Bonds or Parity Bonds may be paid from the amount reserved in the Interest Account of the Special Tax Fund for the payment of interest on the next following Interest Payment Date.
Section 3.7. Surplus Fund. After making the transfers required by Sections 3.3, 3.4, 3.5 and 3.6 hereof, as soon as practicable after each September 1, and in any event prior to each October 1, the Trustee shall transfer all remaining amounts in the Special Tax Fund to the Surplus Fund, unless on or prior to such date, it has received a Certificate of an Authorized Representative directing that certain amounts be retained in the Special Tax Fund because the District has included such amounts as being available in the Special Tax Fund in calculating the amount of the levy of Special Taxes for such Fiscal Year pursuant to Section 5.2(b) hereof. Moneys deposited in the Surplus Fund will be transferred by the Trustee at the direction of an Authorized Representative of the City (i) to the Interest Account, the Principal Account or the Redemption Account of the Special Tax Fund to pay the principal of, including Sinking Fund Payments, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds and any Parity Bonds when due in the event that moneys in the Special Tax Fund and the Reserve Account are insufficient therefor, (ii) to the Reserve Account in order to replenish the Reserve Account to the Reserve Requirement, (iii) to the CFD No. 93-1 IA 16 Reserve Account to restore the CFD No. 93-1 IA 16 Reserve Account to the Proportionate Share and to pay Policy Costs, (iv) to the 21 4907-1641-4514v2/022599-0039
Administrative Expense Fund to pay Administrative Expenses to the extent that the amounts on deposit in the Administrative Expense Fund are insufficient to pay Administrative Expenses, (v) for any other lawful purpose of the District.
The amounts in the Surplus Fund are not pledged to the repayment of the Bonds or the Parity Bonds and may be used by the District for any lawful purpose. In the event that the District reasonably expects to use any portion of the moneys in the Surplus Fund to pay debt service on any Outstanding Bonds or Parity Bonds, the District will notify the Trustee in a Certificate of an Authorized Representative and the Trustee will segregate such amount into a separate subaccount and the moneys on deposit in such subaccount of the Surplus Fund shall be invested at the written direction of the District in Authorized Investments the interest on which is excludable from gross income under Section 103 of the Code (other than bonds the interest on which is a tax preference item for purposes of computing the alternative minimum tax of individuals under the Code) or in Authorized Investments at a yield not in excess of the yield on the issue of Bonds or Parity Bonds to which such amounts are to be applied, unless, in the opinion of Bond Counsel, investment at a higher yield will not adversely affect the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of interest on the Bonds or any Parity Bonds which were issued on a tax-exempt basis for federal income tax purposes.
Section 3.8. [Reserved].
Section 3.9. Investments. Moneys held in any of the Accounts under this Indenture shall be invested by the Trustee or the District, as applicable, in accordance with the limitations set forth below only in Authorized Investments which shall be deemed at all times to be a part of such Accounts.

For so long as the Authority is the Owner of the Bonds, in connection with the calculation of such redemption price, the District shall receive a credit from the Authority from the reduction in the Proportionate Share of the Reserve Requirement resulting from the redemption of the Bonds and the Authority Bonds so redeemed in connection therewith. (d) The redemption provisions for Parity Bonds shall be set forth in a Supplemental Indenture.
Section 4.2. Selection of Bonds and Parity Bonds for Redemption. If less than all of the Bonds or Parity Bonds Outstanding are to be redeemed, the portion of any Bond or Parity Bond 25 4907-1641-4514v2/022599-0039
of a denomination of more than $5,000 to be redeemed shall be in the principal amount of $5,000 or an integral multiple thereof. In selecting portions of such Bonds or Parity Bonds for redemption, the Trustee shall treat such Bonds or Parity Bonds, as applicable, as representing that number of Bonds or Parity Bonds of $5,000 denominations which is obtained by dividing the principal amount of such Bonds or Parity Bonds to be redeemed in part by $5,000. The procedure for the selection of Parity Bonds for redemption may be modified as set forth in the Supplemental Indenture for such Parity Bonds. The Trustee shall promptly notify the District, in writing, of the Bonds or Parity Bonds, or portions thereof, selected for redemption.
Section 4.3. Notice of Redemption. When Bonds or Parity Bonds are due for redemption under Section 4.1 above or under another redemption provision set forth in a Supplemental Indenture relating to any Parity Bonds, the Trustee shall give notice, in the name of the District, of the redemption of such Bonds or Parity Bonds; provided, however, that a notice of optional redemption may be conditioned on there being on deposit on the redemption date sufficient money to pay the redemption price of the Bonds or Parity Bonds to be redeemed. Such notice of redemption shall (a) specify the CUSIP numbers (if any), the bond numbers and the maturity date or dates of the Bonds or Parity Bonds selected for redemption, except that where all of the Bonds or all of an issue of Parity Bonds are subject to redemption, or all the Bonds or Parity Bonds of one maturity, are to be redeemed, the bond numbers of such issue need not be specified; (b) state the date fixed for redemption and surrender of the Bonds or Parity Bonds to be redeemed; (c) state the redemption price; (d) state the place or places where the Bonds or Parity Bonds are to be redeemed; (e) in the case of Bonds or Parity Bonds to be redeemed only in part, state the portion of such Bond or Parity Bond which is to be redeemed; (f) state the date of issue of the Bonds or Parity Bonds as originally issued; (g) state the rate of interest borne by each Bond or Parity Bond being redeemed; and (h) state any other descriptive information needed to identify accurately the Bonds or Parity Bonds being redeemed as shall be specified by the Trustee. Such notice shall further state that on the date fixed for redemption, there shall become due and payable on each Bond, Parity Bond or portion thereof called for redemption, the principal thereof, together with any premium, and interest accrued to the redemption date, and that from and after such date, interest thereon shall cease to accrue and be payable. At least 20 days but no more than 45 days prior to the redemption date, the Trustee shall send a copy of such notice to the respective Owners thereof at their addresses appearing on the Bond Register, and to the original purchaser of the Bonds or Parity Bonds, as applicable. The actual receipt by the Owner of any Bond or Parity Bond or the original purchaser of any Bond or Parity Bond of notice of such redemption shall not be a condition precedent to redemption, and neither the failure to receive nor any defect in such notice shall affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of such Bonds or Parity Bonds, or the cessation of interest on the redemption date. A certificate by the Trustee that notice of such redemption has been given as herein provided shall be conclusive as against all parties and the Owner shall not be entitled to show that he or she failed to receive notice of such redemption. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the Authority or the Authority Trustee on the Authority's behalf is the registered owner of the Bonds, no such notices need be provided.
In addition to the foregoing notice, further notice shall be given by the Trustee as set out below if the Bonds or Parity Bonds are not owned by the Authority at the time the notice of redemption is given pursuant to this Section 4.3, provided that no defect in said further notice nor any failure to give all or any portion of such further notice shall in any manner defeat the effectiveness of a call for redemption if notice thereof is given as above prescribed. 26 4907-1641-4514v2/022599-0039
