The Trustee shall not be required to transfer or exchange any Bond during the period in which the Trustee is selecting Bonds for redemption, nor shall the Trustee be required to transfer or exchange any Bond or portion thereof selected for redemption from and after the date of mailing the notice of redemption thereof.
Section 2.07 Book -Entry Bonds. Notwithstanding any provision of this Indenture to the contrary, the transfer provisions of Section 2.06 hereof do not apply if the ownership of the Bonds is in book -entry form.
(a) Except as provided in subparagraph (d) of this Section 2.07, the registered Owner of all of the Bonds shall be DTC, and the Bonds shall be registered in the name of Cede & 17 4840-4744-1622.2
Co., as nominee for DTC. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture, payment of interest with respect to any Bond registered as of each Record Date in the name of Cede & Co. shall be made by wire transfer of same-day funds to the account of Cede & Co. on the Interest Payment Date for the Bonds at the address indicated on the Record Date or special record date for Cede & Co. in the Bond registration books required to be kept by the Trustee pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.08 hereof or as otherwise provided in the Representation Letter. (b) The Bonds shall be initially executed and delivered in the form of separate single fully registered Bonds in the amount of each separate stated maturity of the Bonds. Upon initial execution and delivery, the ownership of such Bonds shall be registered in the Bond registration books required to be kept by the Trustee pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.08 hereof in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC. The Trustee and the City shall treat DTC (or its nominee) as the sole and exclusive Owner of the Bonds registered in its name for the purposes of payment of the principal, premium, if any, or interest with respect to the Bonds, selecting the Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed, giving any notice permitted or required to be given to Owners under this Indenture, registering the transfer of Bonds, obtaining any consent or other action to be taken by Owners and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Trustee nor the City shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. Neither the Trustee nor the City shall have any responsibility or obligation to any person claiming a beneficial ownership interest in the Bonds under or through DTC, or any other person which is not shown on the Bond registration books required to be kept by the Trustee pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.08 hereof as being an Owner, with respect to (i) the accuracy of any records maintained by DTC; (ii) the payment by DTC of any amount of the principal, premium, if any, or interest on the Bonds; (iii) any notice which is permitted or required to be given to Owners under this Indenture or the selection by DTC of any person to receive payment in the event of a partial redemption of the Bonds; or (iv) any consent given or other action taken by DTC as Owner. The Trustee shall pay all principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds only to DTC, and all such payments shall be valid and effective to fully satisfy and discharge the City's obligations with respect to the principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. Except under the conditions of (d) below, no person other than DTC shall receive an executed Bond representing the right to receive principal, premium, if any and interest pursuant to this Indenture. Upon delivery by DTC to the Trustee of written notice to the effect that DTC has determined to substitute a new nominee in place of Cede & Co., and subject to the provisions herein with respect to Record Dates, the term "Cede & Co." in this Indenture shall refer to such new nominee of DTC. (c) In order to qualify the Bonds for DTC's book -entry system, the City and the Trustee, if required by DTC, will execute, countersign and deliver to DTC the Representation Letter. The execution and delivery of the Representation Letter shall not in any way limit the provisions of this Section 2.07 or in any other way impose upon the Trustee, the City or the Authority any obligation whatsoever with respect to persons having interests in the Bonds other than the Owners, as shown on the Bond registration books required to be kept by the Trustee pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.08 hereof.
(d) In the event (i) DTC, including any successor as securities depository for the Bonds, determines not to continue to act as securities depository for the Bonds, or (ii) the City determines that the incumbent securities depository shall no longer so act and delivers a written certificate to the Trustee to that effect, then the City will discontinue the book -entry system with 18 4840-4744-1622.2
the incumbent securities depository for the Bonds. If the City determines to replace the incumbent securities depository for the Bonds with another qualified securities depository, the City shall prepare or direct the preparation of a new single, separate fully registered Bond for the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Bonds of each maturity, registered in the name of such successor or substitute qualified securities depository, or its nominee, or make such other arrangement acceptable to the City, the Trustee and the successor securities depository for the Bonds as are not inconsistent with the terms of this Indenture. If the City fails to identify another qualified successor securities depository for the Bonds to replace the incumbent securities depository, then the Bonds shall no longer be restricted to being registered in the Bond registration books required to be kept by the Trustee pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.08 hereof in the name of the incumbent securities depository or its nominee, but shall be registered in whatever name or names the incumbent securities depository for the Bonds, or its nominee, shall designate. In such event the Trustee shall execute and deliver a sufficient quantity of Bonds as to carry out the transfers and exchanges provided in this Section and Sections 2.06 and 2.10 hereof. All such Bonds shall be in fully registered form in denominations authorized by this Indenture. (e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture to the contrary, so long as any Bond is registered in the name of DTC, or its nominee, all payments with respect to the principal, premium, if any, and interest on such Bond and all notices with respect to such Bonds shall be made and given, respectively, as provided in the Representation Letter. (f) In connection with any notice or other communication to be provided to Owners pursuant to this Indenture by the City or the Trustee with respect to any consent or other action to be taken by Owner, the City or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall establish a record date for such consent or other action and give DTC notice of such record date not less than 15 calendar days in advance of such record date to the extent possible.
Section 2.08 Bond Registration Books. The Trustee will keep sufficient books for the registration and transfer of the Bonds, which books shall be available for inspection by the Authority and the City at reasonable hours and under reasonable conditions, upon reasonable notice; and upon presentation for such purpose the Trustee shall, under such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, register or transfer the Bonds on such books as hereinabove provided. The Trustee will, upon written request, make copies of the foregoing available to any Owner of at least five percent in aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Bonds or his agent duly authorized in writing.
Section 2.09 Temuorary Bonds. The Bonds may be initially delivered in temporary form exchangeable for definitive Bonds when ready for delivery, which temporary Bonds shall be printed, lithographed or typewritten, shall be of such denominations as may be determined by the Trustee, shall be in fully registered form and shall contain such reference to any of the provisions hereof as may be appropriate. Every temporary Bond shall be authenticated and delivered by the Trustee upon the same conditions and terms and in substantially the same manner as definitive Bonds. If the Trustee authenticates and delivers temporary Bonds, it will authenticate definitive Bonds without delay, and thereupon the temporary Bonds may be surrendered at the Principal Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, in exchange for such definitive Bonds, and until so exchanged such temporary Bonds shall be entitled to the same benefits hereunder as definitive Bonds executed and delivered hereunder.
19 4840-4744-1622.2
Section 2.10 Bonds Mutilated, Lost, Destroyed or Stolen. If any Bond shall become mutilated, the Trustee, at the expense of the Owner thereof, shall authenticate and deliver a new Bond of like tenor, payment date 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 canceled by it. If any Bond shall be lost, destroyed or stolen, evidence of such loss, destruction or theft may be submitted to the Trustee, and if such evidence is satisfactory to the Trustee and indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee shall be given, the Trustee, at the expense of the Owner thereof, shall authenticate and deliver a new Bond of like tenor, numbered as the Trustee shall determine, in lieu of and in substitution for the Bond so lost, destroyed or stolen. The Trustee shall require payment of a sum not exceeding the actual cost of preparing each new Bond authenticated and delivered by it under this Section and of the expenses which may be incurred by it under this Section. Any Bond authenticated and delivered under the provisions of this Section in lieu of any Bond alleged to be lost, destroyed or stolen shall be equally and proportionately entitled to the benefits hereof with all other Bonds secured hereby, and the Trustee shall not be required to treat both the original Bond and any replacement Bond as being Outstanding for the purpose of determining the amount of Bonds which may be executed and delivered hereunder or for the purpose of determining any percentage of Bonds Outstanding hereunder, but both the original and replacement Bond shall be treated as one and the same. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, in lieu of authenticating and delivering a new Bond for a Bond which has been lost, destroyed or stolen and which has matured or will mature within 30 days after the Trustee has received all required indemnity and payments on account of a lost, destroyed or stolen Bond, the Trustee may make payment of such Bond to the Owner thereof on or after the maturity date.
Section 2.11 No Additional Obligations. The City, the Authority and the Trustee covenant that no additional bonds, notes or other indebtedness shall be issued or incurred which are payable out of the Revenues in whole or in part.

To facilitate any transfers to or for the benefit of the City required in this Section 3.02, the Trustee may, in its discretion open a temporary fund or account on its records which shall be closed upon completion of such transfers.
Section 3.03 Construction Fund. The Construction Fund is to be established and maintained by the Trustee to fund Construction Costs, as follows:
(a) The Trustee shall hold the moneys in the Construction Fund and shall disburse such moneys therefrom to pay Construction Costs. Such disbursements shall be made from time to time upon receipt of a Written Request of the City on behalf of the Authority (in the form as set forth in Exhibit C hereto) which:
(i) states with respect to each disbursement to be made: (A) the requisition number, (B) the name and address of the person, firm or authority to whom payment is due, (C) the amount to be disbursed, and (D) that each obligation therein has been properly incurred, is a Construction Cost and is a proper charge against the Construction Fund and has not been the basis of any previous disbursement; (ii) specifies in reasonable detail the nature of the obligation; (iii) is accompanied by a bill or statement of account for each obligation. (b) If at any time there are insufficient moneys in the Costs of Issuance Fund to disburse moneys in accordance with Section 3.04 hereof, the Trustee shall disburse from the Construction Fund, subject to this Section 3.03, such additional amounts as are necessary to pay such Costs of Issuance.
Upon the delivery to the Trustee of a Certificate of Completion, the Trustee shall transfer any remaining balance of money in the Construction Fund, first, to the Rebate Fund to the extent the amount on deposit therein is less than the Rebate Requirement, and then the remainder to a separate subaccount within the Principal Fund, which the Trustee shall establish and hold in trust, and which shall be entitled the "Surplus Subaccount." After such transfer, if any, the Trustee shall close the Construction Fund. The moneys in the Surplus Subaccount shall be applied (unless some other application of such moneys would not, in the opinion of Bond Counsel, adversely affect the tax-exempt status of interest on the Bonds) as directed in writing by the City to pay principal on the Bonds as such principal becomes due and payable, in annual amounts which bear the same ratio to the principal amount of such Bonds maturing in such year that the amount deposited in the Surplus Subaccount bears to the original principal amount of such Bonds. Notwithstanding Section 6.09 hereof, the moneys in the Surplus Subaccount shall be invested at a yield no higher than the yield on the Bonds (unless, in the opinion of Bond Counsel, investment at a higher yield would not adversely affect the status of interest on Bonds), and all such investment income shall be deposited in the Surplus Subaccount and expended or reinvested as provided above.

The moneys in the Costs of Issuance Fund shall be applied to the payment of Costs of Issuance of the Bonds, upon a Written Request of the City on behalf of the Authority (in the form as set forth in Exhibit C hereto). All payments from the Costs of Issuance Fund shall be reflected in the Trustee's regular accounting statements. On or before 6 months after the issuance of the Bonds, the Trustee shall transfer any amounts then remaining in the Costs of Issuance Fund to the Revenue Fund and the Costs of Issuance Fund shall be closed.

Section 4.02 Notice of Redemption.

23 4840-4744-1622.2
Failure by the Trustee to give notice pursuant to this Section to any one or more of the information services or securities depositories, or the insufficiency of any such notice shall not affect the sufficiency of the proceedings for redemption. The failure of any Owner to receive any redemption notice mailed to such Owner and any defect in the notice so mailed shall not affect the sufficiency of the proceedings for redemption.
The City shall have the right to rescind any optional redemption by written notice to the Trustee on or prior to the date fixed for redemption. Any notice of optional redemption shall be canceled and annulled if for any reason funds 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 hereunder. The Trustee shall mail notice of such rescission of redemption in the same manner as the original notice of redemption was sent.

Whenever less than all the Outstanding Bonds maturing on any one date are called for redemption at any one time, the Trustee shall select the Bonds to be redeemed, from the Outstanding Bonds maturing on such date not previously selected for redemption, by lot in any manner which the Trustee deems appropriate.
Section 4.04 Effect of Redemption. If notice of redemption has been duly given as aforesaid and moneys for the payment of the redemption price of the Bonds to be redeemed are held by the Trustee, then on the redemption date designated in such notice the Bonds so called for redemption shall become payable at the redemption price specified in such notice; and from and after the date so designated interest on the Bonds so called for redemption shall cease to accrue, such Bonds shall cease to be entitled to any benefit or security hereunder and the Owners of such Bonds shall have no rights in respect thereof except to receive payment of the redemption price represented thereby. The Trustee shall, upon surrender for payment of any of the Bonds to be redeemed, pay such Bonds at the redemption price thereof.
All Bonds redeemed pursuant to the provisions of this Article shall be canceled by the Trustee and shall not be redelivered.

REVENUES
Section 5.01 Pledge of Revenues; Revenue Fund.
(a) There is hereby established a special fund designated as the "Revenue Fund" which shall be held by the Trustee and which shall be kept separate and apart from all other funds and moneys held by the Trustee. Within the Revenue Fund, the Trustee shall establish and maintain a separate fund designated the "Interest Fund" and a separate fund designated the "Principal Fund." The Authority and the City hereby irrevocably pledge and transfer to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Owners, all of its right, title and interest in and to all amounts on deposit from time to time in the funds and accounts established hereunder, subject to the provisions 24 4840-4744-1622.2
hereof permitting the disbursement thereof for or to the purposes and on the conditions and terms set forth herein, and in and to the Revenues, which shall be used for the punctual payment of the interest and principal of the Bonds and the Revenues shall not be used for any other purpose while any of the Bonds remain Outstanding. It is the intent of the parties hereto that the Authority shall not have any right, title, in or to the Revenues. In the event, however, that it should be determined that the Authority has any right, title or interest in or to the Revenues, then the Authority hereby irrevocably pledges and transfers to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Owners, all of such right, title and interest, which shall be used for the punctual payment of the interest and principal of the Bonds. These pledges shall constitute a first and exclusive lien on the funds established hereunder and the Revenues in accordance with the terms hereof.
(b) All Revenues shall be paid directly by the City to the Trustee, and if received by the Authority at any time shall be deposited by the Authority, as the case may be, with the Trustee within one Business Day after the receipt thereof. All Revenues, the proceeds of rental interruption insurance and liquidated damages, if any, shall be deposited by the Trustee in the Revenue Fund and all amounts on deposit therein shall be held in trust by the Trustee, which fund the Trustee hereby agrees to establish and maintain for the benefit of the Owners until all required Revenues are paid in full pursuant to the Lease Agreement or until such date as the Bonds are no longer Outstanding; provided, however, and notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Trustee receives Revenues in an amount in excess of the amount necessary to pay the amount due and owing on the next Interest Payment Date, Principal Payment Date or Mandatory Sinking Account Payment Date, as the case may be, after giving effect to the funds then on deposit in the Revenue Fund not needed for any other purpose hereunder, then amounts in the Revenue Fund not needed to make such payments may be utilized by the Trustee, as directed in writing by the City, for any other purpose.
Section 5.02 Deposit of Revenues. Except as otherwise provided in this Section, the Trustee shall deposit the amounts in the Revenue Fund at the time and in the priority and manner hereinafter provided in the following respective funds, each of which the Trustee hereby agrees to establish and maintain until all required Revenues are paid in full pursuant to the Lease Agreement or until such date as the Bonds are no longer Outstanding, and the moneys in each of such funds shall be disbursed only for the purposes and uses hereinafter authorized. (a) Interest Fund. The Trustee, on or before each Interest Payment Date, shall transfer from the Revenue Fund to the Interest Fund an amount equal to the interest on the Bonds coming due on such Interest Payment Date. Moneys in the Interest Fund shall be withdrawn and used by the Trustee for the purpose of paying interest on the Bonds as and when due and payable. (b) Principal Fund. The Trustee, on or before each Principal Payment Date and Mandatory Sinking Account Payment Date, shall transfer from the Revenue Fund to the Principal Fund an amount equal to the principal of the Bonds, including principal due and payable by reason of a Mandatory Sinking Account Payment coming due on such date. Moneys in the Principal Fund shall be withdrawn and used by the Trustee for the purpose of paying principal of the Bonds, including principal due and payable by reason of a Mandatory Sinking Account Payment, as and when due and payable.
(c) Reserve Fund. The Trustee shall establish and maintain a separate account to be known as the "Reserve Fund." On or before each Interest Payment Date, the Trustee shall 25 4840-4744-1622.2
deposit in the Reserve Fund such amount as may be necessary to maintain a balance therein equal to the Reserve Requirement. No deposit shall be made in the Reserve Fund so long as there shall be on deposit an amount equal to the Reserve Requirement. All money in the Reserve Fund (or available to be drawn from a Qualified Reserve Fund Credit Instrument) shall be used and withdrawn by the Trustee solely for the purpose of replenishing the Interest Fund or the Principal Fund in such order, in the event of any deficiency at any time in either of such accounts, or for the purpose of paying the interest on or principal of or redemption premiums, if any, on the Bonds in the event that no other money of the Authority is lawfully available therefor. All moneys in the Reserve Fund (or available to be drawn from a Qualified Reserve Fund Credit Instrument held in the Reserve Fund) in excess of the Reserve Requirement may be applied to the retirement of all Bonds then Outstanding or as a credit against the next following Base Rental Payment as directed in a Request by the City. The Reserve Requirement may be satisfied by crediting to the Reserve Fund moneys or a Qualified Reserve Fund Credit Instrument or any combination thereof, which in the aggregate make funds available in the Reserve Fund in an amount equal to the Reserve Requirement.
Upon the deposit with the Trustee of such Qualified Reserve Fund Credit Instrument to satisfy the Reserve Requirement, the Trustee shall transfer any excess amounts then on deposit in the Reserve Fund into a segregated account of the Revenue Fund to be established by the Trustee, which monies shall be applied pursuant to the written direction of the Authority.
In any case where the Reserve Fund is funded with a combination of cash and a Qualified Reserve Fund Credit Instrument, the Trustee shall deplete all cash balances before drawing on the Qualified Reserve Fund Credit Instrument. With regard to replenishment, any available moneys provided by the Authority or the City shall be used first to reinstate the Qualified Reserve Fund Credit Instrument and second, to replenish the cash in the Reserve Fund. In the event the Qualified Reserve Fund Credit Instrument is drawn upon, the Authority shall make payment of interest on amounts advanced under the Qualified Reserve Fund Credit Instrument after making any payments pursuant to this subsection.
(d) Redemption Fund. The Trustee, on the redemption date specified in the Written Request of the City filed with the Trustee at the time that any prepaid Base Rental Payment is paid to the Trustee pursuant to the Lease Agreement, shall deposit in the Redemption Fund that amount of moneys representing the portion of the Base Rental Payments designated as prepaid Base Rental Payments. Monies in the Redemption Fund shall be used and withdrawn by the Trustee for the purpose of paying the principal, premium, if any, and interest of the Bonds to be redeemed.
Section 5.03 Application of Insurance Proceeds and Condemnation Awards. The Trustee shall not be responsible for the sufficiency of any insurance required by the Lease Agreement and shall be fully protected in accepting payment on account of such insurance or any adjustment, compromise or settlement of any loss agreed to by the City or the Authority. Delivery to the Trustee of the schedule of insurance policies under the Lease Agreement shall not confer responsibility upon the Trustee as to the sufficiency of coverage or amounts of such policies.
Except as hereinafter provided, in the event of any damage to or destruction of any part of the Leased Property, caused by the perils covered by the policies of insurance required to be 26 4840-4744-1622.2
maintained by the City pursuant to Section 6.03 of the Lease Agreement, the City and the Authority shall cause the proceeds of such insurance (other than rental interruption insurance which is to be placed in the Revenue Fund) to be used in accordance with Section 7.01 of the Lease Agreement.
The Trustee shall hold said proceeds in a separate fund to be established and maintained by the Trustee when deposit is required and designated the "Insurance Proceeds and Condemnation Awards Fund." The Trustee shall only make disbursements from the Insurance Proceeds and Condemnation Awards Fund upon receipt of a Written Request of the City on behalf of the Authority, which (i) states with respect to each disbursement to be made: (A) the requisition number, (B) the name and address of the person, firm or authority to whom payment is due, (C) the amount to be disbursed, and (D) that each obligation therein has been properly incurred for the purpose of repair, reconstruction or replacement of the Leased Property to at least the same good order, repair and condition as it was in prior to the damage or destruction, insofar as the same may be accomplished by the use of said proceeds and is a proper charge against the Insurance Proceeds and Condemnation Awards Fund and has not been the basis of any previous disbursement; (ii) specifies in reasonable detail the nature of the obligation; and (iii) is accompanied by a bill or statement of account for each obligation. Any balance of said proceeds not required for such repair, reconstruction or replacement as evidenced by a Certificate of the City to the effect that such repair, reconstruction or replacement has been completed and all amounts owing therefor have been paid or provision for the payment therefor has been made shall be transferred by the Trustee to Redemption Fund and applied in the manner provided by Section 4.01(a) hereof.
Alternatively, the City, at its option, and if the proceeds of such insurance together with any other moneys then available for the purpose are at least sufficient to redeem all Outstanding Bonds, may elect not to repair, reconstruct or replace the damaged or destroyed portion of the Leased Property and thereupon shall cause said proceeds to be transferred to the Redemption Fund and used for the redemption of Outstanding Bonds pursuant to Section 4.01(a) hereof; provided, that if the City elects to so redeem the Outstanding Bonds, then the City shall make said election within 45 days after the damage to or destruction of the Leased Property. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the City shall only redeem less than all of the Outstanding Bonds if the annual fair rental value of the Leased Property after such damage, destruction or condemnation is at least equal to the aggregate annual amount of principal and interest of the Outstanding Bonds not being redeemed.
The proceeds of any award in eminent domain shall be transferred by the City to the Trustee for deposit in the Redemption Fund and applied to the redemption of Outstanding Bonds pursuant to Section 4.01(a) hereof.
Section 5.04 Title Insurance. Proceeds of any policy of title insurance received by the City, the Authority or the Trustee in respect of the Leased Property shall be applied and disbursed by the City, the Authority or the Trustee as follows:
(a) If the City determines that the title defect giving rise to such proceeds has not materially affected the operation of the Leased Property and will not result in an abatement of Rental Payments payable by the City under the Lease Agreement, such proceeds shall be remitted to the City, upon written direction of the City, and used for any lawful purpose thereof; or (b) If any portion of the Leased Property has been affected by such title defect, and if the City determines that such title defect will result in an abatement of Rental Payments 27 4840-4744-1622.2
payable by the City under the Lease Agreement, then the City, the Authority or the Trustee, upon written direction of the City, shall immediately deposit such proceeds in the Redemption Fund and such proceeds shall be applied to the redemption of Bonds in the manner provided in Section 4.01(a) hereof.

Payment of interest on this Bond due on or before the maturity or prior redemption, thereof shall be made to the person in whose name such Bond is registered, as of the Record Date preceding the applicable interest payment date, on the registration books kept by the Trustee at its corporate trust office, such interest to be paid by check mailed by first class mail on such interest payment date to the registered owner at his address as it appears on such books. Interest on this Bond shall be payable in lawful money of the United States of America and shall be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year consisting of twelve 30 day months. This Bond shall not be entitled to any benefit, protection or security under the Indenture, as hereinafter defined, or become valid or obligatory for any purpose until the certificate of authentication and registration hereon endorsed shall have been signed by the Trustee.

This Bond is one of a duly authorized issue of bonds of the Authority designated as its "Placentia Public Financing Authority Lease Revenue Bonds (Public Safety Center Project) Series 2023A" (the "Bonds"), in the aggregate principal amount $ all of like tenor and date (except for such variations, if any, as may be required to designate varying numbers, maturities and interest rates), and is issued under and pursuant to the provisions of an Indenture, dated as of August 1, 2023 (the "Indenture"), among the Trustee, the City of Placentia (the "City") and the Authority (copies of which are on file at the corporate trust office of the Trustee). Unless the context otherwise requires, capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Indenture.
The Bonds are limited obligations of the Authority and are payable, as to interest thereon and principal thereof, solely from the revenues derived from Base Rental Payments paid by the City pursuant to a Lease Agreement, dated as of August 1, 2023 (the "Lease Agreement"), between the Authority, as lessor, and the City, as lessee, for the use and possession of the Leased Property as long as the City has such use and possession of the Leased Property, as well as from all other benefits, charges, income, proceeds, profits, receipts, rents and revenues derived by the Authority, as assignee of the City's rights under the Lease Agreement, from operation or use of the Leased Property (the "Revenues"). All the Bonds are equally and ratably secured by the Revenues and enjoy the benefits of a security interest in the money held in the funds established pursuant to the Indenture, subject to the provisions of the Indenture permitting the disbursement thereof for or to the purposes and on the conditions and terms set forth therein.
The obligation of the City to pay Base Rental Payments does not constitute an indebtedness of the City for which the City is obligated to levy or pledge any form of taxation or for which the City has levied or pledged any form of taxation. The obligation of the City to pay Base Rental Payments does not constitute an indebtedness of the City, the State of California, or any of its political subdivisions within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory debt B-1-2
4840-4744-1622.2
limitation or restriction. The obligation of the City to make the Base Rental Payments is subject to abatement during any period in which, by reason of material damage, destruction or title defect, there is substantial interference with the use and occupancy of the Leased Property or portions thereof or if the Leased Property or portions thereof are taken under the power of eminent domain, all as more particularly provided in the Lease Agreement to which reference is hereby made.
To the extent and in the manner permitted by the terms of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture may be amended or supplemented by the parties thereto, in some instances without the consent of the registered owners of Bonds. No such amendment or supplement shall (1) extend the Principal Payment Date of any Bond or reduce the rate of interest represented thereby or extend the time of payment of such interest or reduce the amount of principal represented thereby without the prior written consent of the registered owner of each Bond so affected, or (2) reduce the percentage of registered owners whose consent is required for the execution of any amendment hereof or supplement hereto without the prior written consent of the registered owners of all Bonds then Outstanding, or (3) modify any of the rights or obligations of the Trustee without its prior written consent thereto, or (4) amend the amendment provisions of the Indenture without the prior written consent of the registered owners of all Bonds then Outstanding.
The Bonds are authorized to be executed and delivered in the form of fully registered Bonds without coupons, in denominations of five thousand dollars ($5,000) or any integral multiple thereof (each, an "Authorized Denomination").
This Bond is transferable by the Owner hereof, in person or by his attorney duly authorized in writing, at the office of the Trustee in Saint Paul, Minnesota, but only in the manner, subject to the limitations and upon payment of the charges provided in the Indenture; and upon surrender of this Bond for cancellation, accompanied by delivery of a duly executed written instrument of transfer, a new Bond or Bonds of Authorized Denominations of the same Principal Payment Date equal to the principal amount hereof will be executed and delivered by the Trustee to the Owner thereof in exchange or transfer herefor. The Trustee shall not be required to transfer or exchange any Bond during any period in which it is selecting Bonds for redemption, nor shall the Trustee be required to transfer or exchange any Bond or portion thereof selected for redemption from and after the date of mailing the notice of redemption. The Trustee may treat the Owner hereof as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Bond shall be overdue, and the Trustee shall not be affected by any knowledge or notice to the contrary; and payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Bond shall be made only to such Owner as above provided, which payments shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability on this Bond to the extent of the sum or sums so paid.
The Bonds are subject to redemption prior to maturity as described in the Indenture.
As provided in the Indenture, notice of redemption hereof or of any part hereof shall be mailed, first class postage prepaid, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days before the redemption date, to the Owner of this Bond at his or her address as it appears in the registration books maintained by the Trustee and as specified in the Indenture, but neither failure to receive any such notice nor any defect contained therein shall affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of this Bond. If this Bond is called for redemption and payment is duly provided B-1-3
4840-4744-1622.2
therefor as specified in the Indenture, the interest represented hereby shall cease to accrue from and after the designated redemption date.
The Trustee has no obligation or liability to the registered owners of the Bonds for the payment of the interest or principal or redemption premiums, if any, on the Bonds; but rather the Trustee's sole obligation is to administer, for the benefit of the City, the Authority and the registered owners of the Bonds, the various funds established under the Indenture. The Authority has no obligation or liability whatsoever to the registered owners of the Bonds.
The Indenture provides that the occurrences of certain events constitute Events of Default. Subject to certain limitations and to the rights of the Trustee or the Owners of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds at the time Outstanding shall be entitled to take whatever action at law or in equity may appear necessary or desirable to enforce its rights as assignee.
