RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the Successor Agency Board (1) adopt a resolution authorizing
Successor Agency staff to take the necessary actions as required by AB 1484 to
refund outstanding 1999 Series A, 2002 Series A, 2004 Series A, 2005 Series A and
2011 Series A&B Tax Allocation Bonds issued by the former Culver City
Redevelopment Agency (Former CCRA), and (2) adopt a resolution approving a
professional services agreement with Keyser Marsten Associates in an amount not-
to-exceed $28,000.
BACKGROUND:
With the dissolution of redevelopment agencies pursuant to state law on February 1,
2012, staff has been looking into methods by which the amount of Redevelopment
Property Tax Trust Fund (RPTTF) proceeds available to the Successor Agency can
be maximized. This will allow the Successor Agency access to additional funding to
retire enforceable obligations and ultimately make more funding available for taxing
entities, including the City of Culver City and the Culver City Unified School District
(CCUSD). One concept Staff developed was to look at existing bond debt for
refinancing opportunities at lower interest rates. Such refundings are permitted
under AB 1484 as long as the term of the bonds stays the same and no new debt is
incurred. Staff has identified such an opportunity which is presented in this staff
report. Since our last Successor Agency action in 2013, we have included three City of Culver City, California
Agenda Item Report
additional series of Bonds to be refunded as detailed in the next section of the
report.
DISCUSSION:
In October 1999, the Former CCRA issued $31,940,000 in 1999 Series A Tax
Allocation Refunding Bonds to refund a portion of the 1989 Loans made to the
Former CCRA by the Culver City Redevelopment Financing Authority and refund on
a current basis certain outstanding bonds of the Authority (the 1989 Bonds), as well
as fund certain redevelopment activities of benefit to the Former CCRA’s Project
Area. Currently, the Former CCRA has outstanding bonds available for refunding
(refinancing) of $16,830,000.
In April 2002, the Former CCRA issued $28,280,000 in Tax Allocation Bonds (2002
Series A) to fund certain redevelopment activities of benefit to the Former CCRA’s
Project Area. Currently, the Former CCRA has outstanding bonds available for
refunding of$15,070,000.
In April 2004, the Former CCRA issued $83,470,000 in Tax Allocation Bonds (2004
Series A) to fund certain redevelopment activities of benefit to the Former CCRA’s
Project Area. Currently, the Former CCRA has outstanding bonds available for
refunding of$65,560,000. The 2004 Series A Bonds are now able to be redeemed as
a current refunding like the 1999 and 2002 Bonds.
In November 2005, the Former CCRA issued $17,315,000 in Tax Allocation Bonds
(2005 Series A) to fund certain redevelopment activities of benefit to the Former
CCRA’s Project Area. Currently, the Former CCRA has outstanding bonds available
for refunding of $15,560,000. The 2005 Series A Bonds are now able to be
redeemed as a current refunding like the 1999, 2002 and 2004 Bonds.
In March 2011, the Former CCRA issued $13,827,887.15 in Tax Allocation Bonds
(2011 Series A) to fund certain redevelopment activities of benefit to the Former
CCRA’s Project Area. Currently, the Former CCRA has outstanding bonds available
for refunding of $9,714,853.95. The 2011 Series A Capital Appreciation Bonds
maturing after November 1, 2021 can be redeemed as an advance refunding.
AB 1484 permits successor agencies to refund outstanding bonds and other
obligations of a former redevelopment agency which requires the approval of the
Successor Agency, Oversight Board, and the California Department of Finance.
Based on current market conditions, it is anticipated that the refunding of the Tax
Allocation Refunding Bonds, 1999 Series A, 2002 Series A, 2004 Series A, 2005
Series A, and 2011 Series A Tax Allocation Bonds will produce an annual
reduction in bond payments of approximately of $2,382,801. This same reduction
in annual bond payments frees up additional property tax revenues for use by the
Successor Agency to pay enforceable obligations or to distribute to the affected City of Culver City, California
Agenda Item Report
taxing entities. To the extent these additional funds are distributed to taxing entities,
this will result in an annual increase of approximately $311,000 in property tax
revenues to the City of Culver City and approximately $554,000 to the CCUSD.
Tonight’s action is the first step in the process to refund the outstanding Tax
Allocation Bonds. It is anticipated that the refunding will take approximately four
months to complete. The key milestones to complete the refunding are identified
below:
? Successor Agency Board Adoption of a Resolution approving the issuance of
refunding bonds and approving Indenture and Bond Purchase Agreement
(Tonight’s Action)
? Oversight Board Adoption of a Resolution approving the issuance of
refunding bonds (Scheduled for Oversight Board consideration at a Special
Meeting to be held on July 15, 2015)
? Submission to Department of Finance (July 16, 2015)
? Secure underlying credit ratings and potentially bond insurance and reserve
fund surety (September, 2015)
? State Department of Finance Approval (September, 2015)
? Successor Agency approval of Preliminary Official Statement (September
2015)
? Negotiated sale of Bonds (October, 2015)
? Bond Closing and payoff of outstanding Tax Allocation Bonds (November,
2015)
Staff is also recommending adoption of a resolution authorizing a professional
services agreement with Keyser Marsten Associates (KMA) for preparation of the
Fiscal Consultant’s Report required as part of the refunding.
FISCAL ANALYSIS:
The fiscal impact of the issuance of refunding bonds will result in the annual average
reduction of approximately $2,382,801 in bond payments which frees up a similar
amount in property tax revenues for utilization by the Successor Agency or
distribution to affected taxing entities. If distributed to taxing entities, this will result in
an annual increase of approximately $311,000 in property tax revenues to the City of
Culver City’s General Fund. The agreement with KMA for preparation of the Fiscal
Consultant’s Report shall not exceed $28,000.

Section 2.05 Notice of Redemption. In the case of any redemption of Bonds, the
Trustee shall give notice, as hereinafter in this section provided, that Bonds, identified by serial
numbers and maturity date, have been called for redemption and, in the case of Bonds to be
redeemed in part only, the portion of the principal amount thereof that has been called for
redemption (or if all the Outstanding Bonds are to be redeemed, so stating, in which event such
serial numbers may be omitted), that they will be due and payable on the date fixed for
redemption (specifying such date) upon surrender thereof at the Principal Corporate Trust Office,
at the redemption price (specifying such price), together with any accrued interest to such date,
and that all interest on the Bonds, the respective series of Bonds, or portions thereof, as
applicable, so to be redeemed will cease to accrue on and after such date and that from and after
such date such Bond or such portion shall no longer be entitled to any lien, benefit or security
under the Indenture, and the Owner thereof shall have no rights in respect of such redeemed
Bond or such portion except to receive payment from such moneys of such redemption price plus
accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption.
Such notice shall be mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, at least twenty (20) but
not more than sixty (60) days before the date fixed for redemption, to the Security Depository,
the MSRB and the Owners of such Bonds, or portions thereof, so called for redemption, at their
respective addresses as the same shall last appear on the Bond Register. No notice of redemption
need be given to the Owner of a Bond to be called for redemption if such Owner waives notice
thereof in writing, and such waiver is filed with the Trustee prior to the redemption date. Neither
the failure of an Owner to receive notice of redemption of Bonds hereunder nor any error in such
notice shall affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of Bonds.
Any notice of redemption may be expressly conditional and may be rescinded by Written
Request of the Agency given to the Trustee not later than the date fixed for redemption. Upon
receipt of such Written Request of the Agency, the Trustee shall promptly mail notice of such
rescission to the same parties that were mailed the original notice of redemption.

Section 2.06 Selection of Bonds for Redemption. Whenever less than all the
Outstanding Bonds of any one maturity are to be redeemed on any one date, the Trustee shall
select the particular Bonds to be redeemed by lot and in selecting the Bonds for redemption the
Trustee shall treat each Bond of a denomination of more than five thousand dollars ($5,000) as
representing that number of Bonds of five thousand dollars ($5,000) denomination which is
obtained by dividing the principal amount of such Bond by five thousand dollars ($5,000), and
the portion of any Bond of a denomination of more than five thousand dollars ($5,000) to be
redeemed shall be redeemed in an Authorized Denomination. The Trustee shall promptly notify
the Agency in writing of the numbers of the Bonds so selected for redemption in whole or in part
on such date.
Section 2.07 Payment of Redeemed Bonds. If notice of redemption has been given or
waived as provided in Section 2.05, the Bonds or portions thereof called for redemption shall be
due and payable on the date fixed for redemption at the redemption price thereof, together with
accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption, upon presentation and surrender of the Bonds to
be redeemed at the office specified in the notice of redemption. If there shall be called for
redemption less than the full principal amount of a Bond, the Agency shall execute and deliver
and the Trustee shall authenticate, upon surrender of such Bond, and without charge to the
Owner thereof, Bonds of like interest rate and maturity in an aggregate principal amount equal to
the unredeemed portion of the principal amount of the Bonds so surrendered in such authorized
denominations as shall be specified by the Owner.
If any Bond or any portion thereof shall have been duly called for redemption and
payment of the redemption price, together with unpaid interest accrued to the date fixed for
redemption, shall have been made or provided for by the Agency, then interest on such Bond or
such portion shall cease to accrue from such date, and from and after such date such Bond or
such portion shall no longer be entitled to any lien, benefit or security under the Indenture, and

deposit in the Term Bonds Sinking Account may also be used and withdrawn by the Trustee at
any time prior to selection of Bonds for redemption having taken place with respect to such
amounts, upon a Written Request of the Agency, for the purchase of such Term Bonds at public
or private sale as and when and at such prices (including brokerage and other charges) as the
Agency may in its discretion determine, but not in excess of par plus accrued interest. Any
accrued interest payable upon the purchase of Bonds shall be paid from amounts held in the Tax
Increment Fund for the payment of interest on the next following Interest Payment Date. Any
Term Bonds so purchased shall be cancelled by the Trustee forthwith and shall not be reissued.
The principal of any Term Bonds so purchased by the Trustee in any twelve-month period
ending 60 days prior to any Sinking Account Payment Date in any year shall be credited towards
and shall reduce the principal of such Term Bonds required to be redeemed on such Sinking
Account Payment Date in such year.

nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes the same as though he had remained in office
until such delivery of the Bonds. Any Bond may be signed and attested on behalf of the Agency

bear thereon a certificate of authentication and registration in the form hereinbefore recited,
executed and dated by the Trustee, upon the Written Request of the Agency, shall be entitled to
any benefits under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose, and such certificate of
the Trustee shall be conclusive evidence that the Bonds so registered have been duly issued and
delivered hereunder and are entitled to the benefits of the Indenture.

stolen or lost, upon proof of ownership satisfactory to the Trustee, and upon the surrender of
such mutilated Bond at the Corporate Trust Office or upon the receipt of evidence satisfactory to

Bonds shall be Outstanding hereunder, to the Trustee for the benefit of the Owners of the
Outstanding Bonds.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall not be deposited with the Trustee for deposit
in the Tax Increment Fund any taxes eligible for allocation to the Agency pursuant to the Law in
an amount in excess of that amount which, together with all money then on deposit with the
Trustee in the Tax Increment Fund and the accounts therein, shall be sufficient to discharge all
Outstanding Bonds as provided in Article X hereof. No additional bonds payable from Tax
Revenues on a basis senior to or on a parity with the Bonds will be issued except pursuant to
Article IV of the Indenture.
The Agency covenants and agrees that, subject to the prior application and lien in favor
of the Senior Obligations, all Tax Revenues when and as received, will be received by the
Agency in trust hereunder and will be transferred to the Trustee within a reasonable period of
time from the receipt by the Agency thereof, for deposit by the Trustee in the Tax Increment
Fund and will be accounted for through and held in trust in the Tax Increment Fund, and the
Agency shall have no beneficial right or interest in any of such money, except only as
specifically provided otherwise in the Indenture. All such Tax Revenues, whether received by
the Agency and held in trust pending transfer or deposited with the Trustee, all as herein
provided, shall nevertheless be disbursed, allocated and applied solely to the uses and purposes
hereinafter set forth in the Indenture, and shall be accounted for separately and apart from all
other money, funds, accounts or other resources of the Agency. Any Tax Revenues received by
the Trustee in the Tax Increment Fund (other than amounts deposited in the Reserve Account) in
excess of the amounts required to be held by the Trustee in the Tax Increment Fund shall be
released from the pledge and lien hereunder and transferred to the Agency and may be used for
any lawful purpose of the Agency.
The Agency will take all actions required under the Dissolution Act to include on its
ROPS the amounts described below to be transmitted to the Trustee for the applicable ROPS
period in order to satisfy the requirements of the Indenture, including any amounts required to
pay principal and interest payments due on the Senior Obligations, Outstanding Bonds and any
Parity Debt, any Compliance Costs, any deficiency in the Reserve Account to the full amount of
the Reserve Account Requirement and any deficiency in the reserve accounts under the
indentures for the Senior Obligations. The Agency shall submit an Oversight Board-approved
ROPS to the County Auditor-Controller and the Department of Finance (with a copy to the
Agency) at least ninety (90) days prior to each RPTTF Distribution Date.
Expected Compliance Costs, if any, will be included in each ROPS in accordance with
the Dissolution Act.

Agency with the Trustee in the Tax Increment Fund and will be accounted for through and held
in trust in the Tax Increment Fund, and the Agency shall have no beneficial right or interest in

apart from all other money, funds, accounts or other resources of the Agency.
(b) [The Agency hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the County Auditor-
Controller to transfer any Agency funds then held in, or later received by the County Auditor-
Controller for deposit in, the RPTTF, to the Trustee for deposit into the Tax Increment Fund in
the amounts provided for in Section 5.01.]
Section 5.03 Establishment and Maintenance of Accounts for Use of Moneys in the
Tax Increment Fund. Subject to the prior application and lien in favor of the Senior
Obligations, all Tax Revenues in the Tax Increment Fund shall be set aside by the Trustee in
each Bond Year when and as received in the following respective special accounts within the
Tax Increment Fund (each of which is hereby created and each of which the Agency hereby
covenants and agrees to cause to be maintained with the Trustee so long as the Bonds shall be
Outstanding hereunder), in the following order of priority (except as otherwise provided in
subsection (b) below):
(1) Interest Account;
(2) Principal Account;
(3) Term Bonds Sinking Account;
(4) Reserve Account; and
(5) Expense Account.
All moneys in each of such accounts shall be held in trust by the Trustee and shall be
applied, used and withdrawn only for the purposes hereinafter authorized in this Section 5.03.
(a) Interest Account. The Trustee shall set aside from the Tax Increment Fund and
deposit in the Interest Account an amount of money which, together with any money contained
therein, is equal to the aggregate amount of the interest becoming due and payable on all
Outstanding Bonds on the Interest Payment Dates in such Bond Year. No deposit need be made
into the Interest Account if the amount contained therein is at least equal to the aggregate amount
of the interest becoming due and payable on all Outstanding Bonds on the Interest Payment
Dates in such Bond Year. All moneys in the Interest Account shall be used and withdrawn by
the Trustee solely for the purpose of paying the interest on the Bonds as it shall become due and
payable (including accrued interest on any Bonds purchased or redeemed prior to maturity).
(b) Principal Account. The Trustee shall set aside from the Tax Increment Fund and
deposit in the Principal Account an amount of money which, together with any money contained
therein, is equal to the aggregate amount of principal becoming due and payable on all

made into the Principal Account if the amount contained therein is at least equal to the aggregate

43747-2
Payment Date in such Bond Year. All money in the Principal Account shall be used and
withdrawn by the Trustee solely for the purpose of paying principal of the Serial Bonds as they
shall become due and payable.
In the event that there shall be insufficient money in the Tax Increment Fund to pay in
full all such principal and Sinking Account Installments due pursuant to Section 5.03(c) hereof in
such Bond Year, then the money available in the Tax Increment Fund shall be applied pro rata to
the payment of such principal and Sinking Account Installments in the proportion which all such
principal and Sinking Account Installments bear to each other.
(c) Term Bonds Sinking Account. The Trustee shall deposit in the Term Bonds
Sinking Account an amount of money which, together with any money contained therein, is
equal to the Sinking Account Installments payable on the Sinking Account Payment Date in such

contained therein is at least equal to the aggregate amount of all Sinking Account Installments
required to be made on the Sinking Account Payment Date in such Bond Year. All moneys in
the Term Bonds Sinking Account shall be used and withdrawn by the Trustee solely for the
purpose of purchasing or redeeming the Term Bonds in accordance with Section 2.04(c) hereof.
(d) Reserve Account. The Trustee shall set aside from the Tax Increment Fund and
deposit in the Reserve Account such amount as may be necessary to maintain on deposit therein
an amount equal to the Reserve Account Requirement. No deposit need be made into the
Reserve Account so long as there shall be on deposit therein an amount equal to the Reserve
Account Requirement. All money in or credited to the Reserve Account shall be used and
withdrawn by the Trustee solely for the purpose of replenishing the Interest Account, the
Principal Account or the Term Bonds Sinking Account in such order, in the event of any
deficiency in any of such accounts occurring on any Interest Payment Date, Principal Payment
Date or Sinking Account Payment Date, or for the purpose of paying the interest on or the
principal of the Bonds in the event that no other money of the Agency is lawfully available
therefor, or for the retirement of all Bonds then Outstanding, except that for so long as the
Agency is not in default hereunder, any amount in the Reserve Account in excess of the Reserve
Account Requirement shall be transferred to the Tax Increment Fund.
On any date on which Bonds are defeased in accordance with Section 11.02 hereof, the
Trustee shall, if so directed in a Written Request of the Agency, transfer any moneys in the
Reserve Account in excess of the Reserve Account Requirement resulting from such defeasance
to the entity or fund so specified in such Written Request of the Agency, to be applied to such
defeasance.
If at any time the Trustee fails to pay principal or interest due on any scheduled payment
date for the Bonds and any Parity Debt or withdraws funds from the Reserve Account to pay
principal and interest on the Bonds and any Parity Debt, the Trustee shall notify the Agency in
writing of such failure or withdrawal, as applicable.

[EXEMPLAR BOND INSURER TERMS INCLUDED FOR REFERENCE; SUBJECT
TO CHANGE: The prior written consent of [INSURER] shall be a condition precedent to the
deposit of any Qualified Reserve Account Credit Instrument credited to the Reserve Account
established for Series 2015 Bonds in lieu of a cash deposit into the Reserve Account. Amounts
drawn under the [INSURER’S] Reserve Policy shall be available only for the payment of
scheduled principal and interest on the Series 2015 Bonds, respectively, when due.]
[EXEMPLAR BOND INSURER TERMS INCLUDED FOR REFERENCE; SUBJECT
TO CHANGE: The Trustee shall ascertain the necessity for a claim upon the Reserve Policy in
accordance with the provisions of paragraph (a) of Section 12.15 hereof and to provide notice to
[INSURER] in accordance with the terms of the Reserve Policy at least five Business Days prior
to each date upon which interest or principal is due on the Series 2015 Bonds, respectively.
Where deposits are required to be made by the Agency with the Trustee to the debt service fund
for the Series 2015 Bonds, respectively, more often than semi-annually, the Trustee shall be
instructed to give notice to [INSURER] of any failure of the Agency to make timely payment in
full of such deposits within two Business Days of the date due.]
(e) Expense Account. The Trustee shall set aside from the Tax Increment Fund and
deposit in the Expense Account such amount as may be necessary to pay from time to time
Compliance Costs as specified in a Written Request of the Agency setting forth the amounts. All
moneys in the Expense Account shall be applied to the payment of Compliance Costs, upon
presentation of a Written Request of the Agency setting forth the amounts, purposes, the names
of the payees and a statement that the amounts to be paid are proper charges against the Expense
Account. So long as any of the Bonds herein authorized, or any interest thereon, remain unpaid,
the moneys in the Expense Account shall be used for no purpose other than those required or
permitted by the Indenture and the Law.
Section 5.04 Investment of Moneys in Funds and Accounts. Moneys in the Tax
Increment Fund and the Interest Account, the Principal Account, the Term Bonds Sinking
Account and the Expense Account thereunder, upon the Written Request of the Agency, shall be
invested by the Trustee in Permitted Investments. If such instructions are not provided, the
Trustee shall invest such funds in Permitted Investments described in clause (6) of the definition
thereof. Moneys in the Interest Account representing accrued interest paid to the Agency upon
the initial sale and delivery of any Bonds and in the Reserve Account, upon the Written Request
of the Agency, shall be invested by the Trustee in Permitted Investments. Permitted Investments
purchased with amounts on deposit in the Reserve Account shall have an average aggregate
weighted term to maturity of not greater than five (5) years; provided, however, that if such
investments may be redeemed at par so as to be available on each Interest Payment Date, any
amount in the Reserve Account may be invested in such redeemable Permitted Investments
maturing on any date on or prior to the final maturity date of the Bonds. The obligations in
which moneys in the Tax Increment Fund and the Interest Account, the Principal Account, the
Term Bonds Sinking Account and the Expense Account thereunder are so invested shall mature
prior to the date on which such moneys are estimated to be required to be paid out hereunder.
Any interest, income or profits from the deposits or investments of all other funds and accounts
held by the Trustee (other than the Expense Account and the Rebate Fund) shall be deposited in
the Tax Increment Fund. For purposes of determining the amount on deposit in any fund or
account held by the Trustee hereunder, all Permitted Investments credited to such fund or

account shall be valued at the lower of cost or the market price thereof (excluding accrued
interest and brokerage commissions, if any); provided that Permitted Investments credited to the
Reserve Account shall be valued at market value (exclusive of accrued interest and brokerage
commissions, if any), and any deficiency in the Reserve Account resulting from a decline in
market value shall be restored to the Reserve Account Requirement no later than the next Bond
Year. Amounts in the funds and accounts held by the Trustee under the Indenture shall be
valued at least annually on the first day of [November] [after the principal payment has been
made].
The Agency acknowledges that to the extent regulations of the Comptroller of the
Currency or other applicable regulatory entity grant the Agency the right to receive brokerage
confirmations of security transactions as they occur, the Agency will not receive such
confirmations to the extent permitted by law. The Trustee will furnish the Agency periodic cash
transaction statements which shall include detail for all investment transactions made by the
Trustee hereunder.
The Trustee or any of its affiliates may act as agent, sponsor or advisor in connection
with any investment made by the Trustee hereunder.
Section 5.05 [EXEMPLAR BOND INSURER TERMS INCLUDED FOR
REFERENCE; SUBJECT TO CHANGE:] [Reserve Policy Payment and Reimbursement
Provisions. The following provisions shall govern in the event of a conflict with any contrary
provision of the Indenture.
(a) The Agency shall repay any draws under the Reserve Policy and pay all
related reasonable expenses incurred by [INSURER] and shall pay interest thereon from
the date of payment by [INSURER] at the Late Payment Rate. “Late Payment Rate”
means the lesser of (x) 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 (“Prime Rate”) (any change in such Prime
Rate to be effective on the date such change is announced by JPMorgan Chase Bank)
plus _____%, and (ii) the then applicable highest rate of interest on the outstanding
[Series ___ Bonds] and (y) the maximum rate permissible under applicable usury or
similar laws limiting interest rates. The Late Payment Rate shall be computed on the
basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days. In the event
JPMorgan Chase Bank ceases to announce its Prime Rate publicly, Prime Rate shall be
the publicly announced prime or base lending rate of such national bank as [INSURER]
shall specify. If the interest provisions of this subparagraph (b) shall result in an effective
rate of interest which, for any period, exceeds the limit of the usury or any other laws
applicable to the indebtedness created herein, then all sums in excess of those lawfully
collectible as interest for the period in question shall, without further agreement or notice
between or by any party hereto, be applied as additional interest for any later periods of
time when amounts are outstanding hereunder to the extent that interest otherwise due
hereunder for such periods plus such additional interest would not exceed the limit of the
usury or such other laws, and any excess shall be applied upon principal immediately
upon receipt of such moneys by [INSURER], with the same force and effect as if the
Agency had specifically designated such extra sums to be so applied and [INSURER] had
44
33
OHSUSA:762514730.3
43747-2
OHSUSA:762514730.3
43747-2
agreed to accept such extra payment(s) as additional interest for such later periods. In no
event shall any agreed-to or actual exaction as consideration for the indebtedness created
herein exceed the limits imposed or provided by the law applicable to this transaction for
the use or detention of money or for forbearance in seeking its collection.
(b) Repayment of draws and payment of expenses and accrued interest
thereon at the Late Payment Rate (collectively, “Policy Costs”) shall commence in the
first month following each draw, and each such monthly payment shall be in an amount
at least equal to 1/12 of the aggregate of Policy Costs related to such draw.
(c) The obligation to pay Policy Costs shall be secured by a valid lien on all
revenues and other collateral pledged as security for the Series 2015 Bonds (subject only
to the priority of payment provisions set forth under the Indenture). Amounts in respect
of Policy Costs paid to [INSURER] shall be credited first to interest due, then to the
expenses due and then to principal due. As and to the extent that payments are made to
[INSURER] on account of principal due, the coverage under the Reserve Policy will be
increased by a like amount, subject to the terms of the Reserve Policy.
(d) All cash and investments in the Reserve Account shall be transferred to
the debt service fund for payment of debt service on the Series 2015 Bonds before any
drawing may be made on the Reserve Policy or any other Qualified Reserve Account
Credit Instrument credited to the Reserve Account in lieu of cash. Payment of any Policy
Costs shall be made prior to replenishment of any such cash amounts. Draws on all Credit
Facilities (including the Reserve Policy) on which there is available coverage shall be
made on a pro-rata basis (calculated by reference to the coverage then available
thereunder) after applying all available cash and investments in the Reserve Account.
Payment of Policy Costs and reimbursement of amounts with respect to other Credit
Facilities shall be made on a pro-rata basis prior to replenishment of any cash drawn from
the Reserve Account. For the avoidance of doubt, “available coverage means the
coverage then available for disbursement pursuant to the terms of the applicable
alternative credit instrument without regard to the legal or financial ability or willingness
of the provider of such instrument to honor a claim or draw thereon or the failure of such
provider to honor any such claim or draw.
(e) Upon a failure to pay Policy Costs when due or any other breach of the
terms of this Section, [INSURER] shall be entitled to exercise any and all legal and
equitable remedies available to it, including those provided under the Indenture, other
than (i) acceleration of the maturity of the Series 2015 Bonds, if any, or (ii) remedies
which would adversely affect owners of the Series 2015 Bonds.
(f) The Authorizing Document shall not be discharged until all Policy Costs
owing to [INSURER] shall have been paid in full. The Agency’s obligation to pay such
amounts shall expressly survive payment in full of the Series 2015 Bonds.
(g) The Agency shall include any Policy Costs then due and owing
[INSURER] in the calculation of the additional bonds test.

(h) The Agency will pay or reimburse [INSURER] any and all reasonable
charges, fees, costs, losses, liabilities and expenses which [INSURER] may pay or incur,
including, but not limited to, fees and expenses of attorneys, accountants, consultants and
auditors and reasonable costs of investigations, in connection with (i) any accounts
established to facilitate payments under the Reserve Policy, (ii) the administration,
enforcement, defense or preservation of any rights in respect of the Indenture or any
document executed in connection with the Series 2015 Bonds (the “Related
Documents”), including defending, monitoring or participating in any litigation or
proceeding (including any bankruptcy proceeding in respect of the Agency) relating to
Authorizing Document or any other Related Document, any party to the Indenture or any
other Related Document or the transactions contemplated by the Related Documents, (iii)
the foreclosure against, sale or other disposition of any collateral securing any obligations
under the Indenture or any other Related Document, if any, or the pursuit of any remedies
under the Indenture or any other Related Document, to the extent such costs and expenses
are not recovered from such foreclosure, sale or other disposition, (iv) any amendment,
waiver or other action with respect to, or related to the Indenture, the Reserve Policy or
any other Related Document whether or not executed or completed, or (v) any action
taken by [INSURER] to cure a default or termination or similar event (or to mitigate the
effect thereof) under the Indenture or any other Related Document; costs and expenses
shall include a reasonable allocation of compensation and overhead attributable to time of
employees of [INSURER] spent in connection with the actions described in clauses (ii)
through (v) above. [INSURER] reserves the right to charge a reasonable fee as a
condition to executing any amendment, waiver or consent proposed in respect of the
Indenture or any other Related Document. Amounts payable by the Agency hereunder
shall bear interest at the Late Payment Rate from the date such amount is paid or incurred
by [INSURER] until the date [INSURER] is paid in full.
(i) The obligation of the Agency pay all amounts due to [INSURER] shall be
an absolute and unconditional obligation of the Agency and will be paid or performed
strictly in accordance with the provisions of this Section, irrespective of (i) any lack of
validity or enforceability of or any amendment or other modifications of, or waiver with
respect to the Series 2015 Bonds, the Indenture or any other Related Document, or (ii)
any amendment or other modification of, or waiver with respect to the Reserve Policy;
(iii) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any security interest in property securing
the Series 2015 Bonds, the Indenture or any other Related Documents; (iv) whether or
not such Series 2015 Bonds are contingent or matured, disputed or undisputed, liquidated
or unliquidated; (v) any amendment, modification or waiver of or any consent to
departure from the Reserve Policy, the Indenture or all or any of the other Related
Documents; (vi) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense (other than the defense of
payment in full), reduction, abatement or other right which the Agency may have at any
time against the Trustee or any other person or entity other than the Bond Insurer,
whether in connection with the transactions contemplated herein or in any other Related
Documents or any unrelated transactions; (vii) any statement or any other document
presented under or in connection with the Reserve Policy proving in any and all respects
invalid, inaccurate, insufficient, fraudulent or forged or any statement therein being
untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or (viii) any payment by the Bond Insurer under the

Reserve Policy against presentation of a certificate or other document which does not
strictly comply with the terms of the Reserve Policy.
(j) The Agency shall fully observe, perform, and fulfill each of the provisions
(as each of those provisions may be amended, supplemented, modified or waived with
the prior written consent of the Bond Insurer) of the Indenture applicable to it, each of the
provisions thereof being expressly incorporated into this Section by reference solely for
the benefit of [INSURER] as if set forth directly herein. No provision of the Indenture or
any other Related Document shall be amended, supplemented, modified or waived,
without the prior written consent of [INSURER], in any material respect or otherwise in a
manner that could adversely affect the payment obligations of the Agency hereunder or
the priority accorded to the reimbursement of Policy Costs under the Indenture.
(k) The Agency covenants to provide to [INSURER], promptly upon request,
any information regarding the Series 2015 Bonds or the financial condition and
operations of the Agency as reasonably requested by [INSURER]. The Agency will
permit [INSURER] to discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of the Agency or any
information [INSURER] may reasonably request regarding the security for the Series
2015 Bonds with appropriate officers of the Agency and will use commercially
reasonable efforts to enable [INSURER] to have access to the facilities, books and
records of the Agency on any Business Day upon reasonable prior notice.]
Section 5.06 Cost of Issuance Fund. Moneys deposited in the Costs of Issuance Fund
shall be held by the Trustee in trust and applied to the payment of Costs of Issuance upon a
Requisition of the Agency filed with the Trustee, which shall be in substantially the form
attached hereto as Exhibit B. Each such requisition shall be sufficient evidence to the Trustee of
the facts stated therein and the Trustee shall have no duty to confirm the accuracy of such facts.
In no event shall moneys from any other fund or account established hereunder be used to pay
Costs of Issuance. All payments from the Costs of Issuance Fund shall be reflected on the
Trustee’s regular accounting statements. At the end of twelve months from the date of issuance
of the Bonds, or upon earlier receipt of a Written Order of the Agency stating that amounts in
such fund are no longer required for the payment of Costs of Issuance, such fund shall be
terminated and any amounts then remaining in such fund shall be transferred to each Agency
Trustee for deposit in the [tax increment fund] (or similarly purposed fund if named differently)
in proportion to the original amount deposited in the Cost of Issuance Fund by such Agency
Trustee. The Trustee shall then close the Costs of Issuance Fund.

Outstanding Bonds payable in whole or in part from the Tax Revenues (other than Additional
Bonds in accordance with Section 4.01).
Section 6.03 Extension or Funding of Claims for Interest. In order to prevent any
claims for interest after maturity, the Agency will not, directly or indirectly, extend or consent to
the extension of the time for the payment of any claim for interest on any Bonds and will not,
directly or indirectly, be a party to or approve any such arrangements by purchasing or funding
said claims for interest or in any other manner. In case any such claim for interest shall be
extended or funded, whether or not with the consent of the Agency, such claim for interest so
extended or funded shall not be entitled, in case of default hereunder, to the benefits of the
Indenture, except subject to the prior payment in full of the principal of the Bonds then
Outstanding and of all claims for interest which shall not have been so extended or funded.

impair the security of the Bonds; provided that nothing herein contained shall require the Agency
to make any such payments so long as the Agency in good faith shall contest the validity of any
such claims.
Section 6.05 Books and Accounts; Financial Statements. The Agency will keep
proper books of record and accounts, separate from all other records and accounts of the Agency,

less than ten per cent (10%) of the aggregate principal amount of Bonds Outstanding or their
representatives authorized in writing.
The Agency will prepare and file with the Trustee and the Bond Insurer annually, so long
as any Bonds are Outstanding, the audited financial statements of the Agency as part of the
Annual Report (as defined in the Continuing Disclosure Agreement), provided, however, that the
audited financial statements of the Agency may be submitted separately from the balance of the
Annual Report, and later than the date required for the filing of the Annual Report and as soon as
practicable if they are not available by that date, which audited financial statement shall include a
statement as to the manner and extent to which the Agency has complied with the provisions of

Section 6.07 Payment of Taxes and Other Charges. The Agency will pay and
discharge all taxes, service charges, assessments and other governmental charges which may
hereafter be lawfully imposed upon the Agency or any properties owned by the Agency in the
Project Area, or upon the revenues therefrom, when the same shall become due; provided that
nothing herein contained shall require the Agency to make any such payments so long as the
Agency in good faith shall contest the validity of any such taxes, service charges, assessments or
other governmental charges.
Section 6.08 Amendment of Redevelopment Plan. The Agency will not amend the
Redevelopment Plan except as provided in this section and as permitted by the Law. If the
Agency proposes to amend the Redevelopment Plan, it shall cause to be filed with the Trustee a
Consultant’s Report on the effect of such proposed amendment. If the Consultant’s Report
concludes that Tax Revenues will not be materially reduced by such proposed amendment, the
Agency may undertake such amendment. If the Consultant’s Report concludes that Tax
Revenues will be materially reduced by such proposed amendment, the Agency may not
undertake such proposed amendment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Agency must obtain
the Bond Insurer’s prior written consent for any amendment of the Redevelopment Plan which
would (i) reduce the amount of Tax Revenues that may be received by the Agency or (ii) reduce
the period during which the Agency may collect Tax Revenues.
Section 6.09 Tax Revenues. The Agency shall comply with all requirements of the Law
to ensure the allocation and payment to it of the Tax Revenues, including without limitation the
timely filing of any necessary ROPS.
(a) The Agency shall manage its fiscal affairs in a manner so that it will have sufficient
Tax Revenues available under the Redevelopment Plan in the amounts and at the times required
to enable the Agency to pay the principal of, premium, if any and interest on the outstanding
Senior Obligations, and any parity debt thereof, and the Series 2015 Bonds and any Parity Debt
when due.
The Agency shall comply with all requirements of the Law to obtain the allocation and
payment to it of the Tax Revenues on its ROPS for each ROPS Period, and the timely filing
thereof, all payments expected to be made to the Trustee in order to satisfy the requirements of
this Section 6.09.
[(b) The Agency hereby covenants that, for so long as the receipt of Tax Revenues
attributable to the Redevelopment Plan is subject to a tax increment limit under the Law, it will
annually review the total amount of Tax Revenues attributable to [each of its Project Areas]
remaining available to be received by the Agency under the applicable redevelopment plan of the
Redevelopment Plan. In the event that the Tax Revenues attributable to any Project Area and the
allocable debt service remaining to be paid on the Senior Obligations, and any parity debt
thereof, and the Series 2015 Bonds and any Parity Debt at any time equals or exceeds ninety
percent (90%) of the aggregate amount of Tax Revenues attributable to such Project Area which
the Agency is permitted to receive under the applicable Redevelopment Plan, the Agency will
either:

(1) deposit all future Tax Revenues attributable to each such Project Area not used to
pay current debt service with the [Trustee] in a special account to be applied for the sole purpose
of paying the principal of and interest on, or the redemption of, the Senior Obligations, and any
parity debt thereof, and the Series 2015 Bonds and any Parity Debt as they become due and
payable, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, which account shall be invested in non-
callable Federal Securities and used for the payment of interest on and principal of and
redemption premiums, if any, on the Senior Obligations, and any parity debt thereof, and the
Series 2015 Bonds and any Parity Debt, or
(2) adopt a plan approved by an Independent Redevelopment Consultant which
demonstrates the Agency’s continuing ability to pay debt service on the Senior Obligations, and
any parity debt thereof, and the Series 2015 Bonds and any Parity Debt. In determining the
amount to be deposited in escrow with the [Trustee], the Agency shall not take into account any
actual or projected interest earnings on the amounts so deposited.
The Agency agrees that the information provided to the [Trustee] in such Written
Agreement will be included in each annual report provided pursuant to the Continuing
Disclosure Agreement.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if legislation is adopted by the legislature of the
State of California eliminating the effective limit on the amount of taxes which can be allocated
to the Agency pursuant to the Law and the Redevelopment Plan, the deposit of Tax Revenues
attributable to any redevelopment plan of the Redevelopment Plan required by paragraph (b) of
this Section 6.09 for the purpose of paying the payment of debt service on the Senior
Obligations, and any parity debt thereof, and the Series 2015 Bonds and any Parity Debt shall no
longer be required.]
Section 6.10 Further Assurances. The Agency will adopt, make, execute and deliver
any and all such further resolutions, instruments and assurances as may be reasonably necessary
or proper to carry out the intention or to facilitate the performance of the Indenture, and for the
better assuring and confirming unto the Owners of the Bonds of the rights and benefits provided
in the Indenture.
Section 6.11 Tax Covenants; Rebate Fund.
(a) The Agency covenants that it will not take any action, or fail to take any action, if
any such action or failure to take action would adversely affect the exclusion from gross income
of the interest on any of the Tax Exempt Bonds under Section 103 of the Code. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, the Agency shall comply with the requirements of the Tax
Certificate, which is incorporated herein as if fully set forth herein. This covenant shall survive
payment in full or defeasance of the Bonds.
(b) The Agency agrees that there shall be paid from time to time all amounts required
to be rebated to the United States pursuant to Section 148(f) of the Code and any temporary,
proposed or final Treasury Regulations as may be applicable to the Tax Exempt Bonds from time
to time.

(c) The Trustee shall establish and maintain a fund separate from any other fund
established and maintained hereunder designated as the Rebate Fund. Notwithstanding any other
provision of the Indenture to the contrary, all amounts deposited into or on deposit in the Rebate
Fund shall be governed by this Section 6.11 and by the Tax Certificate (which is incorporated
herein by reference). The Agency shall cause to be deposited in the Rebate Fund the Rebate
Requirement as provided in the Tax Certificate. Subject to the provisions of this Section 6.11,
all money at any time deposited in the Rebate Fund shall be held by the Trustee in trust for
payment to the federal government of the United States of America from time to time in
accordance with the Tax Certificate. The Agency and the Owners shall have no rights in or
claim to such money.
(d) Upon the written direction of the Agency, the Trustee shall invest all amounts
held in the Rebate Fund in Permitted Investments, subject to the restrictions set forth in the Tax
Certificate.
(e) Upon receipt of the Rebate Instructions required to be delivered to the Trustee by
the Tax Certificate, the Trustee shall remit part or all of the balances held in the Rebate Fund to
the Trustee for payment to the federal government of the United States of America, as so
directed. In addition, if the Rebate Instructions so direct, the Trustee shall deposit moneys into
or transfer moneys out of the Rebate Fund from or into such accounts or funds as the Rebate
Instructions direct. Any funds remaining in the Rebate Fund after redemption and payment of all
of the Tax Exempt Bonds and payment of any required rebate amount, or provision made
therefor satisfactory to the Trustee, shall be withdrawn and remitted to the Agency.
(f) The Trustee shall have no obligation to pay any amounts required to be remitted
pursuant to this Section 6.11, other than from moneys held in the funds and accounts created
under the Indenture or from other moneys provided to it by the Agency.
(g) The Trustee shall conclusively be deemed to have complied with the provisions of
this Section 6.11 if it follows the directions of the Agency set forth in the Rebate Instructions,
and shall not be required to take any actions thereunder in the absence of Rebate Instructions
from the Agency.
(h) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture, the obligation of the
Agency to remit or cause to be remitted any required rebate amount to the United States
government and to comply with all other requirements of this Section 6.11 and the Tax
Certificate shall survive the defeasance or payment in full of the Tax Exempt Bonds.
(i) Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 6.11 to the contrary, if the Agency
shall provide to the Trustee an opinion of counsel of recognized standing in the field of law
relating to municipal bonds (and approved in writing by the Agency) to the effect that any action
required under this Section 6.11 is no longer required, or that some further or different action is
required, to maintain the exclusion from federal gross income of the interest on the Tax Exempt
Bonds pursuant to the Code, the Trustee and the Agency may conclusively rely on such opinion
in complying with the provisions of this Section 6.11, and the provisions hereof shall be deemed
to be modified to that extent.

Section 6.12 Compliance with the Dissolution Act. The Agency covenants that in
addition to complying with the requirements of Section 5.01 hereof, it will comply with all other
requirements of the Dissolution Act. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Agency covenants and agrees to file all required statements and seek all necessary successor
agency or an oversight board approvals required under the Dissolution Act to assure compliance
by the Agency with its covenants under the Indenture. Further, the Agency will take all actions
required under the Dissolution Act to include on its ROPS for each ROPS Period all payments
expected to be made to the Trustee in order to satisfy the requirements of the Indenture,
including any amounts required to pay principal and interest payments due on the [Senior
Obligations], Outstanding Bonds and any Parity Debt, any deficiency in the Reserve Account to
the full amount of the Reserve Account Requirement and any deficiency in the reserve accounts
under the indentures or loan agreements for the Senior Obligations, any Compliance Costs, and
any required debt service, reserve set-asides, and any other payments required under the
Indenture or similar documents pursuant to Section 34171(d)(1)(A) of the California Health and
Safety Code, so as to enable the County Auditor-Controller to distribute from the RPTTF
amounts to the Trustee for deposit in the Tax Increment Fund on each ROPS Distribution Date
amounts required for the Agency to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and the interest on the
Outstanding Bonds and any Parity Debt coming due in the respective ROPS Period. These
actions will include placing on the periodic ROPS for approval by the Oversight Board and the
DOF, to the extent necessary, the amounts to be held by the Successor Agency as a reserve until
the next ROPS Period, as contemplated by paragraph (1)(A) of subdivision (d) of Section 34171
of the Dissolution Act, that are necessary to provide for the payment of principal of, premium, if
any, and the interest under this Indenture when the next property tax allocation is projected to be
insufficient to pay all obligations due under this Indenture for the next payment due in the
following ROPS Period.
Section 6.13 Negative Pledge. The Agency may not create or allow to exist any liens
on Tax Revenues senior to (except as provided in the indentures or loan agreements securing the
Senior Obligations) or on a parity with the Series 2015 Bonds except as provided in Article IV
hereof [or as otherwise approved by the Bond Insurer]. The Agency shall refund outstanding
Senior Obligations on a basis senior to or on a parity with the Bonds only to the extent such
refunding would be permitted by Section 34177.5(a)(1) of the Dissolution Act.
Section 6.14 Adverse Change in State Law. If, due to an adverse change in State law
resulting from legislation or the decision of a court of competent jurisdiction, the Agency
determines that it can no longer comply with Section 6.12, then the Agency shall immediately
notify the County Auditor-Controller and the Trustee in writing of such determination. The
Agency shall immediately seek a declaratory judgment or take other appropriate action in a court
of competent jurisdiction to determine the duties of all parties to the Indenture, including the
County Auditor-Controller and the Agency, with regard to the performance of Section 6.12 by
the Agency. The Trustee may, but is in no event obligated to, participate in the process of
seeking such declaratory judgment to protect its rights hereunder. Any reasonable fees and
expenses incurred by the Trustee (including, without limitation, legal fees and expenses) in
connection with such participation shall be borne by the Agency.
Section 6.15 Credits to Redevelopment Obligation Retirement Fund. The Agency
covenants, subject to the prior application and lien in favor of the Senior Obligations, to credit all

Trustee for the payment of the Bonds and any Parity Debt to the Redevelopment Obligation
Retirement Fund established pursuant to Section 34170.5 of the California Health and Safety
Code.
Section 6.16 Compliance Costs. The Agency, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
shall pay the annual Compliance Costs, from amounts on deposit in the Expense Account,
including fees and disbursements of the consultants and professionals engaged in connection
with the Bonds, costs of the Agency and the Trustee payable from the RPTTF.
Section 6.17 Continuing Disclosure. The Agency hereby covenants and agrees that it
will comply with and carry out all of the provisions of the Continuing Disclosure Agreement.
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture, failure of the Agency to comply with the
Continuing Disclosure Agreement shall not be considered an event of default; provided,
however, the Trustee, at the written request of any Participating Underwriter (as defined in the
Continuing Disclosure Agreement), or the Bondowners of at least 25% aggregate principal
amount of Bonds Outstanding, shall to the extent the Trustee is indemnified to its satisfaction
from and against any liability or expense related thereto, or any Bondowner or Beneficial Owner
may take such actions as may be necessary and appropriate, including seeking mandate or
specific performance by court order, to cause the Agency to comply with its obligations under
this section and the Continuing Disclosure Agreement. For purposes of this section, “Beneficial
Owner” shall mean any person which has or shares the power, directly or indirectly, to make
investment decisions concerning ownership of any Bonds (including persons holding Bonds
through nominees, depositories or other intermediaries).
ARTICLE VII
THE TRUSTEE
Section 7.01 Appointment and Acceptance of Duties. The Trustee hereby accepts and
agrees to the trusts hereby created to all of which the Agency agrees and the respective Owners
of the Bonds, by their purchase and acceptance thereof, agree.
Section 7.02 Duties, Immunities and Liability of Trustee.
(a) The Trustee shall, prior to an Event of Default, and after the curing or
waiver of all Events of Default which may have occurred, perform such duties and only
such duties as are specifically set forth in the Indenture, and no implied duties or
obligations shall be read into the Indenture against the Trustee. The Trustee shall, during
the existence of any Event of Default (which has not been cured or waived), exercise the
rights and powers vested in it by the Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill
in their exercise as a reasonable individual would exercise or use under the circumstances
in the conduct of his own affairs.
(b) [Subject to Section 12.15,] the Agency may, in the absence of an Event of
Default, and upon receipt of an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing signed by
the Owners of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then
53

43747-2
Outstanding (or their attorneys duly authorized in writing) [or upon receipt of a written
request of the Bond Insurer stating good cause, or upon receipt of a written request of any
Bond Insurer following an Event of Default (irrespective of cause)], or if at any time the
Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with subsection (e) of this section, or shall
become incapable of acting, or shall commence a case under any bankruptcy, insolvency
or similar law, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any
public officer shall take control or charge of the Trustee or its property or affairs for the
purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, shall, remove the Trustee by giving
written notice of such removal to the Trustee, and thereupon the Agency shall promptly
appoint a successor Trustee by an instrument in writing.
(c) The Trustee may, subject to (d) below, resign by giving written notice of
such resignation to the Agency [and the Bond Insurer] and by giving notice of such
resignation by mail, first class postage prepaid, to the Owners at the addresses listed in
the Bond Register. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Agency shall promptly
appoint a successor Trustee by an instrument in writing, [and shall notify the Bond
Insurer of such appointment].
(d) Any removal or resignation of the Trustee and appointment of a successor
Trustee shall become effective only upon acceptance of appointment by the successor
Trustee. If no successor Trustee shall have been appointed and shall have accepted
appointment within thirty (30) days of giving notice of removal or notice of resignation
as aforesaid, the resigning Trustee or any Owner (on behalf of himself and all other
Owners) may petition, at the expense of the Agency, any court of competent jurisdiction
for the appointment of a successor Trustee, and such court may thereupon, after such
notice (if any) as it may deem proper, appoint such successor Trustee. Any successor
Trustee appointed under the Indenture shall signify its acceptance of such appointment by
executing and delivering to the Agency and to its predecessor Trustee [and the Bond
Insurer] a written acceptance thereof, and thereupon such successor Trustee, without any
further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the moneys, estates,
properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of such predecessor Trustee, with
like effect as if originally named Trustee herein; but, nevertheless, at the written request
of the Agency or of the successor Trustee, such predecessor Trustee shall execute and
deliver any and all instruments of conveyance or further assurance and do such other
things as may reasonably be required for fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to
such successor Trustee all the right, title and interest of such predecessor Trustee in and
to any property held by it under the Indenture and shall pay over, transfer, assign and
deliver to the successor Trustee any money or other property subject to the trusts and
conditions set forth herein. Upon request of the successor Trustee, the Agency shall
execute and deliver any and all instruments as may be reasonably required for fully and
certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such moneys, estates,
properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations. Upon acceptance of
appointment by a successor Trustee as provided in this subsection, such successor
Trustee shall mail a notice of the succession of such Trustee to the trusts hereunder by
first class mail, postage prepaid, to the Owners at their addresses listed in the Bond
Register.

(e) Any Trustee appointed under the provisions of this section shall be a trust
company or bank having the powers of a trust company or authorized to exercise trust
powers, having a corporate trust office in California, having (or in the case of a bank,
trust company or bank holding company which is a member of a bank holding company
system, the related bank holding company shall have) a combined capital and surplus of
at least fifty million dollars ($50,000,000), and subject to supervision or examination by
federal or state authority. If such bank, trust company or bank holding company
publishes a report of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of
any supervising or examining authority above referred to, then for the purpose of this
subsection the combined capital and surplus of such bank, trust company or bank holding
company shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most
recent report of condition so published. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be
eligible in accordance with the provisions of this subsection, the Trustee shall resign
immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this section.
(f) No provision in the Indenture shall require the Trustee to risk or expend its
own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its
duties hereunder unless the Owners shall have offered to the Trustee security or
indemnity it deems reasonable, against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be
incurred.
(g) In accepting the trust hereby created, the Trustee acts solely as Trustee for
the Owners and not in its individual capacity, and under no circumstances shall the
Trustee be liable in its individual capacity for the obligations evidenced by the Bonds.
(h) The Trustee makes no representation or warranty, express or implied, as to
the compliance with legal requirements of the use contemplated by the Agency of the
funds under the Indenture.
(i) The Trustee shall not be responsible for the recording or filing of any
document relating to the Indenture or of financing statements (or continuation statements
in connection therewith). The Trustee shall not be deemed to have made representations
as to the security afforded thereby or as to the validity, sufficiency or priority of any such
document, collateral or security of the Bonds.
(j) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Event of
Default hereunder unless and until a Responsible Officer shall have actual knowledge
thereof at the Trustee’s Principal Corporate Trust Office.

Agency or any other party of any funds which the Trustee has released under the
Indenture.
(l) The Trustee shall provide a monthly accounting of all Funds held pursuant
to the Indenture to the Agency within fifteen (15) Business Days after the end of each
month and shall provide statements of account for each annual period beginning July 1

the accounting period and the balance in any Funds and accounts created under the
Indenture as of the beginning and close of such accounting period.
(m) All moneys received by the Trustee shall, until used or applied or invested
as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received but
need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.
(n) The permissive rights of the Trustee to do things enumerated in the
Indenture shall not be construed as a duty unless so specified herein.
(o) The Trustee may appoint and act through an agent and shall not be
responsible for any misconduct or negligence of any such agent appointed with due care.
Section 7.03 Merger or Consolidation. Any company into which the Trustee may be
merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated or any company resulting from any
merger, conversion or consolidation to which it shall be a party or any company to which the
Trustee may sell or transfer all or substantially all of its corporate trust business, provided such
company shall be eligible under subsection (e) of Section 7.02, shall succeed to the rights and
obligations of such Trustee without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act,
anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
Section 7.04 Compensation. The Agency shall pay to the Trustee a reasonable
compensation for its services rendered hereunder and reimburse the Trustee for reasonable
expenses, disbursements and advances, including attorney’s and agent’s fees and expenses,
incurred by the Trustee in the performance of its obligations hereunder.
The Agency agrees, to the extent permitted by law, to indemnify the Trustee and its
officers, directors, employees, attorneys and agents for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss,
liability or expense incurred without negligence or willful misconduct on its part arising out of or
in connection with (i) the acceptance or administration of the trusts imposed by the Indenture,
including performance of its duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending
itself against any claims or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its
powers or duties hereunder (ii) the Bonds; (iii) the sale of any Bonds and the carrying out of any
of the transactions contemplated by the Bonds; or (iv) any untrue statement of any material fact
or omission to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading in any official statement or other
disclosure document utilized by the Agency or under its authority in connection with the sale of
the Bonds. The Agency’s obligations hereunder with respect to indemnity of the Trustee and the
provision for its compensation set forth in this Article shall survive and remain valid and binding
notwithstanding the maturity and payment of the Bonds, or the resignation, or removal of the
Trustee.
The Trustee shall have no responsibility for or liability in connection with assuring that
all of the procedures or conditions to closing set forth in the contract of purchase for sale of the
Bonds are satisfied, or that all documents required to be delivered on the closing date to the
parties are actually delivered, except its own responsibility to receive or deliver the proceeds of

the sale, deliver the Bonds and other certificates expressly required to be delivered by it and its
counsel.
Section 7.05 Liability of Trustee. The recitals of facts herein and in the Bonds
contained shall be taken as statements of the Agency, and the Trustee does not assume any
responsibility for the correctness of the same, and does not make any representations as to the
validity or sufficiency of the Indenture or of the Bonds, and shall not incur any responsibility in
respect thereof, other than in connection with the duties or obligations herein or in the Bonds
assigned to or imposed upon it; provided, that the Trustee shall be responsible for its
representations contained in its certificate of authentication on the Bonds. The Trustee shall not
be liable in connection with the performance of its duties hereunder except for its own
negligence or willful misconduct. The Trustee (in its individual or any other capacity) may
become the Owner of Bonds with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee hereunder,
and, to the extent permitted by law, may act as depository for and permit any of its officers,
directors and employees to act as a member of, or in any other capacity with respect to, any
committee formed to protect the rights of Owners, whether or not such committee shall represent
the Owners of a majority in principal amount (or any lesser amount that may direct the Trustee in
accordance with, and as provided in, the provisions of the Indenture) of the Bonds then
Outstanding. The Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be
taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Bond Insurer or the Owners of a
majority in principal amount (or any lesser amount that may direct the Trustee in accordance
with, and as provided in, the provisions of the Indenture) of the Outstanding Bonds relating to
the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the
Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, hereunder. Whether or not
therein expressly so provided, every provision of the Indenture or related documents relating to
the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to
the provisions of this Article. All indemnifications and releases from liability granted herein to
the Trustee shall extend to the directors, officers, employees and agents of the Trustee.
Section 7.06 Right to Rely on Documents. The Trustee may rely on and shall be
protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any notice, resolution, request, consent, order,
certificate, report, opinion, bond or other paper or document reasonably believed by it to be
genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties. The Trustee may
consult with counsel, who may be counsel of or to the Agency, with regard to legal questions,
and the opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection for any
action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance therewith.
Whenever in the administration of the trusts imposed upon it by the Indenture the Trustee
shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or
suffering or omitting any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof
be herein specifically prescribed) may be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by
an Officer’s Certificate, and such Certificate shall be full warrant to the Trustee for any action
taken or suffered or omitted in good faith under the provisions of the Indenture in reliance upon
such Certificate, but in its discretion the Trustee may, in lieu thereof, accept other evidence of
such matter or may require such additional evidence as to it may seem reasonable.

The Trustee shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other professionals concerning all
matters of trust and its duty hereunder, but the Trustee shall not be answerable for the
professional malpractice of any attorney-at-law or certified public accountant in connection with
the rendering of his professional advice in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, if such
attorney-at-law or certified public accountant was selected by the Trustee with due care.
Section 7.07 Preservation and Inspection of Documents. All documents received by
the Trustee under the provisions of the Indenture shall be retained in its possession and shall be
subject at all reasonable times upon prior notice to the inspection of the Agency, [the Bond
Insurer] and the Owners of at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the aggregate principal amount
of the Bonds, and their agents and representatives duly authorized in writing, at reasonable hours
and under reasonable conditions.
Section 7.08 Indemnity for Trustee. Before taking any action or exercising any rights
or powers under the Indenture, the Trustee may require that satisfactory indemnity be furnished
to it for the reimbursement of all costs and expenses which it may incur and to indemnify it
against all liability, except liability which may result from its negligence or willful misconduct,
by reason of any action so taken.
ARTICLE VIII
EXECUTION OF INSTRUMENTS BY OWNERS AND PROOF
OF OWNERSHIP OF THE BONDS
Section 8.01 Execution of Instruments; Proof of Ownership. Any request, direction,
consent or other instrument in writing required or permitted by the Indenture to be signed or
executed by Owners may be in any number of concurrent instruments of similar tenor by
different parties and may be signed or executed by such Owners in Person or by agent appointed
by an instrument in writing. Proof of the execution of any such instrument and of the ownership
of the Bonds shall be sufficient for any purpose of the Indenture and shall be conclusive in favor
of the Trustee with regard to any action taken, suffered or omitted by either of them under such
instrument if made in the following manner:
(a) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument
may be proved by the certificate of any officer in any jurisdiction who, by the laws
thereof, has power to take acknowledgments within such jurisdiction, to the effect that
the Person signing such instrument acknowledged before him the execution thereof, or by
an affidavit of a witness to such execution.
(b) The fact of the ownership of the Bonds under the Indenture by any Owner
and the serial numbers of such Bonds and the date of his ownership of the same shall be
proved by the Bond Register.
Nothing contained in this Article shall be construed as limiting the Trustee to such proof,
it being intended that the Trustee may accept any other evidence of the matters in this Article
stated which to it may seem sufficient. Any request or consent of the Owner of any Bond shall

ARTICLE IX
AMENDMENT OF THE INDENTURE
Section 9.01 Amendment by Consent of Owners. The Indenture and the rights and
obligations of the Agency and of the Owners may be amended at any time, [upon the written
consent of the Bond Insurer], by a Supplemental Indenture which shall become binding when the
written consents of the Owners of sixty per cent (60%) in aggregate principal amount of Bonds
Outstanding, exclusive of Bonds disqualified as provided in Section 9.02 are filed with the
Trustee. [The consent of the Bond Insurer, in place of Owner’s consent, shall be sufficient so
long as the Bond Insurer’s policy is not in default and secures payments on such requisite
ownership and, provided that] no such amendment shall (1) extend the maturity of or reduce the
interest rate on, or otherwise alter or impair the obligation of the Agency to pay the interest or
principal of, and premium, if any, at the time and place and at the rate and in the currency
provided herein of any Bond, without the express written consent of the Owner of such Bond, or
(2) permit the creation by the Agency of any mortgage, pledge or lien upon the Tax Revenues
superior to or on a parity with the pledge and lien created in the Indenture for the benefit of the
Bonds, without the express written consent of the Owner of such Bond, or (3) reduce the
percentage of Bonds required for the written consent to any such amendment, without the
express written consent of the Owner of such Bond, or (4) modify the rights or obligations of the
Trustee without its prior written assent thereto.
The Indenture and the rights and obligations of the Agency and of the Owners may also
be amended at any time, [upon the written consent of the Bond Insurer], by a Supplemental
Indenture which shall become binding upon adoption, without the consent of any Owners, but
only to the extent permitted by law and only for any one or more of the following purposes:
(a) To add to the covenants and agreements of the Agency in the Indenture
contained, other covenants and agreements thereafter to be observed, or to surrender any
right or power herein reserved to or conferred upon the Agency;
(b) To make such provisions for the purpose of curing any ambiguity, or of
curing, correcting or supplementing any defective provision contained in the Indenture,
or in regard to questions arising under the Indenture, as the Agency may deem necessary
or desirable and not inconsistent with the Indenture, and which shall not materially
adversely affect the interests of the Owners of the Bonds;
(c) To provide for the issuance of any Additional Bonds, and to provide the
terms and conditions under which such Additional Bonds may be issued, subject to and in
accordance with the provisions of Article IV;
(d) To modify, amend or supplement the Indenture in such manner as to
permit the qualification hereof under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, or any
similar federal statute hereafter in effect, and to add such other terms, conditions and
59
48
OHSUSA:762514730.3
43747-2
OHSUSA:762514730.3
43747-2
provisions as may be permitted by said act or similar federal statute, and which shall not
materially adversely affect the interests of the Owners of the Bonds;
(e) To maintain the exclusion of interest on the Tax Exempt Bonds from gross
income for federal income tax purposes;
(f) To modify, amend or supplement the Indenture in such manner as to
conform to changes in the Dissolution Act so long as there is no material adverse effect to
holders of the Bonds; or
(g) To obtain a bond insurance policy or a rating on the Bonds.
Section 9.02 Disqualified Bonds. Bonds owned or held by or for the account of the
Agency or the City shall not be deemed Outstanding for the purpose of any consent or other
action or any calculation of Outstanding Bonds in this Article provided for, and shall not be
entitled to consent to, or take any other action in this Article provided for.
Section 9.03 Endorsement or Replacement of Bonds After Amendment. After the
effective date of any action taken as hereinabove provided, the Agency may determine that the
Bonds may bear a notation, by endorsement in form approved by the Agency, as to such action,
and in that case upon demand of the Owner of any Bond Outstanding at such effective date and
presentation of his Bond for the purpose at the office of the Trustee or at such additional offices
as the Trustee may select and designate for that purpose, a suitable notation as to such action
shall be made on such Bond. If the Agency shall so determine, new Bonds so modified as, in the
opinion of the Agency, shall be necessary to conform to such action shall be prepared and
executed, and in that case upon demand of the Owner of any Bond Outstanding at such effective
date such new Bonds shall be exchanged at the office of the Trustee or at such additional offices
as the Trustee may select and designate for that purpose, without cost to each Owner, for Bonds
then Outstanding, upon surrender of such Outstanding Bonds.
Section 9.04 Amendment by Mutual Consent. The provisions of this Article shall not
prevent any Owner from accepting any amendment as to the particular Bonds held by him,
provided that due notation thereof is made on such Bonds.
Section 9.05 Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee may request and conclusively accept an
opinion of counsel to the Agency that an amendment of the Indenture is in conformity with the
provisions of this Article.
Section 9.06 Notice to Rating Agencies. The Agency shall provide each rating agency
rating the Bonds with a notice of any amendment to the Indenture pursuant to this Article and a
copy of any Supplemental Indenture at least 15 days in advance of its execution.
Section 9.07 [EXEMPLAR BOND INSURER TERMS INCLUDED FOR
REFERENCE; SUBJECT TO CHANGE: Transcript of Proceedings to Bond Insurer. The
Agency shall provide the Bond Insurer with a full transcript of the proceedings relating to the
execution and delivery of any Supplemental Indenture.]

EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES OF OWNERS
Section 10.01 Events of Default and Acceleration of Maturities. If one or more of the
following events (herein called “Events of Default”) shall happen, that is to say:
(a) If default shall be made in the due and punctual payment of the principal
of, or premium, if any, on any Bond when and as the same shall become due and payable,
whether at maturity as therein expressed, by declaration or otherwise;
(b) If default shall be made in the due and punctual payment of the interest on
any Bond when and as the same shall become due and payable;
(c) If default shall be made by the Agency in the observance of any of the
agreements, conditions or covenants on its part in the Indenture or in the Bonds
contained, and such default shall have continued for a period of thirty (30) days after the
Agency shall have been given notice in writing of such default by the Trustee; provided,
however, that such default shall not constitute an Event of Default hereunder if the
Agency shall commence to cure such default within said 30-day period and thereafter
diligently and in good faith proceed to cure such default within a reasonable period of
time not to exceed 60 days after such notice [without the prior written consent of the
Bond Insurer]; or
(d) If the Agency shall file a petition or answer seeking reorganization or
arrangement under the federal bankruptcy laws or any other applicable law of the United
States of America, or if a court of competent jurisdiction shall approve a petition, filed
with or without the consent of the Agency, seeking reorganization under the federal
bankruptcy laws or any other applicable law of the United States of America, or if, under
the provisions of any other law for the relief or aid of debtors, any court of competent
jurisdiction shall assume custody or control of the Agency or of the whole or any
substantial part of its property;
then, and in each and every such case during the continuance of such Event of Default, [with the
written consent of the Bond Insurer], the Trustee may, and upon the written request of the
Owners of not less than twenty-five per cent (25%) in aggregate principal amount of Bonds
Outstanding, shall, by notice in writing to the Agency, declare the principal of all of the Bonds
then Outstanding, and the interest accrued thereon, to be due and payable immediately, and upon
any such declaration the same shall become and shall be immediately due and payable. [For all
purposes under this Article X, the Bond Insurer is deemed to be an owner of one hundred percent
(100%) of the Insured Series 2015__ Bonds unless the Bond Insurer is in default under the terms
of the Bond Insurance Policy.]
If, at any time after the principal of the Bonds shall have been so declared due and
payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the money due shall have been
obtained or entered, the Agency shall deposit with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all
principal on the Outstanding Bonds and any Parity Debt matured prior to such declaration and all
61

matured installments of interest (if any) upon all the Bonds, with interest at the rate of ten per
cent (10%) per annum on such overdue installments of principal and interest, and the reasonable
expenses of the Trustee, and any and all other defaults known to the Trustee (other than in the
payment of principal of and interest on the Outstanding Bonds and any Parity Debt due and
payable solely by reason of such declaration) shall have been made good or cured to the
satisfaction of the Trustee or provision deemed by the Trustee to be adequate shall have been
made therefor, then, and in every such case, the Owners of at least twenty-five per cent (25%) in
aggregate principal amount of Bonds Outstanding, by written notice to the Agency and to the
Trustee, may, on behalf of the Owners of all of the Bonds, rescind and annul such declaration
and its consequences. No such rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any
subsequent default, or shall impair or exhaust any right or power consequent thereon.
[An Event of Default shall continue to exist under subsections (a) and (b) of this Section
10.01 after payment is made by the Bond Insurer when due, pursuant to the terms of the Bond
Insurance Policy.]
Section 10.02 Application of Funds Upon Acceleration. All money in the funds and
accounts provided for in the Indenture upon the date of the declaration of acceleration by the
Trustee as provided in Section 10.01, and subject to the prior application and lien in favor of the
Senior Obligations, all Tax Revenues thereafter received by the Agency hereunder, shall be
transmitted to the Trustee and shall be applied by the Trustee in the following order:
First, to the payment of the costs and expenses of the Trustee, if any, in carrying out the
provisions of this Article, including reasonable compensation to its agents, attorneys and counsel
and then to the payment of the costs and expenses of the Owners in providing for the declaration
of such event of default, including reasonable compensation to their agents, attorneys and
counsel;
Second, upon presentation of the several Bonds, and the stamping thereon of the amount
of the payment if only partially paid, or upon the surrender thereof if fully paid, (A) to the
payment of the whole amount then owing and unpaid upon the Outstanding Bonds and any
Parity Debt for principal of, and interest on the Outstanding Bonds and any Parity Debt, with
interest on the overdue interest and principal at the rate of ten per cent (10%) per annum, and (B)
in case such money shall be insufficient to pay in full the whole amount so owing and unpaid
upon the Outstanding Bonds and any Parity Debt, then to the payment of such interest, principal,
and interest on overdue interest and principal without preference or priority among such interest,
principal, and interest on overdue interest and principal, ratably to the aggregate of such interest,
principal, and interest on overdue interest and principal.
Section 10.03 Trustee to Represent Bondowners. The Trustee is hereby irrevocably
appointed (and the successive respective Owners of the Bonds, by taking and owning the same,
shall be conclusively deemed to have so appointed the Trustee) as trustee and true and lawful
attorney-in-fact of the Owners of the Bonds for the purpose of exercising and prosecuting on
their behalf such rights and remedies as may be available to such Owners under the provisions of
the Bonds, the Indenture, the Law and applicable provisions of any other law. Upon the
occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default or other occasion giving rise to a right in the
Trustee to represent the Owners of the Bonds, the Trustee in its discretion may [with the consent

of the Bond Insurer], and upon the written request of the Owners of not less than twenty-five per
cent (25%) in aggregate principal amount of Bonds then Outstanding, and upon being
indemnified to its satisfaction therefor, shall, proceed to protect or enforce its rights or the rights
of such Owners by such appropriate action, suit, mandamus or other proceedings as it shall deem
most effectual to protect and enforce any such right, at law or in equity, either for the specific
performance of any covenant or agreement contained herein, or in aid of the execution of any
power herein granted, or for the enforcement of any other appropriate legal or equitable right or
remedy vested in the Trustee or in such Owners under the Indenture, the Law or any other law.
All rights of action under the Indenture or the Bonds or otherwise may be prosecuted and
enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Bonds or the production thereof in
any proceeding relating thereto, and any such suit, action or proceeding instituted by the Trustee
shall be brought in the name of the Trustee for the benefit and protection of all the Owners of
such Bonds, subject to the provisions of the Indenture.
Section 10.04 Bondowners’ Direction of Proceedings. The Owners of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding shall have the right, by an instrument
or concurrent instruments in writing executed and delivered to the Trustee, to direct the method
of conducting all remedial proceedings taken by the Trustee hereunder; provided, that such
direction shall not be otherwise than in accordance with law and the provisions of the Indenture,
and that the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction which in the
opinion of the Trustee would be unjustly prejudicial to Bondowners not parties to such direction.
Section 10.05 Limitation on Bondowners’ Right to Sue. No Owner of any Bond shall
have the right to institute any suit, action or proceeding at law or in equity, for the protection or
enforcement of any right or remedy under the Indenture, the Law or any other applicable law
with respect to such Bond, unless (1) such Owner shall have given to the Trustee written notice
of the occurrence of an Event of Default; (2) the Owners of not less than twenty-five per cent
(25%) in aggregate principal amount of Bonds then Outstanding shall have made written request
upon the Trustee to exercise the powers hereinbefore granted or to institute such suit, action or
proceeding in its own name; (3) such Owner or said Owners shall have tendered to the Trustee
reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with
such request; and (4) 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 or under law; it being understood and intended that no one or more Owner of
Bonds shall have any right in any manner whatever by his or their action to affect, disturb or
prejudice the security of the Indenture or the rights of any other Owners of Bonds, or to enforce
any right under the Indenture, the Law or other applicable law with respect to the Bonds, except
in the manner herein provided, and that all proceedings at law or in equity to enforce any such
right shall be instituted, had and maintained in the manner herein provided and for the benefit
and protection of all Owners of the Outstanding Bonds, subject to the provisions of the
Indenture.

Section 10.06 Non-Waiver. Nothing in this Article or in any other provision of the
Indenture, or in the Bonds, shall affect or impair the obligation of the Agency, which is absolute
and unconditional, to pay the principal of, and the interest on the Bonds to the respective Owners
of the Bonds at the respective dates of maturity, as herein provided, out of the Tax Revenues
pledged for such payment, or affect or impair the right of action, which is also absolute and
unconditional, of such Owners to institute suit to enforce such payment by virtue of the contract
embodied in the Bonds and in the Indenture.
A waiver of any default or breach of duty or contract by any Owner 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 by any Owner 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 Owners by the Law or by this Article may be enforced and exercised from time to time
and as often as shall be deemed expedient by the Owners.
If any suit, action or proceeding to enforce any right or exercise any remedy is abandoned
or determined adversely to the Owners, the Trustee, the Agency and the Owners shall be restored
to their former positions, rights and remedies as if such suit, action or proceeding had not been
brought or taken.
Section 10.07 Remedies Not Exclusive. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved
to the Trustee or the Owners is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy. Every such
remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or
now or hereafter existing, at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and may be exercised
without exhausting and without regard to any other remedy conferred by the Law or any other
law.

DEFEASANCE
Section 11.01 Discharge of Indebtedness. (a) If (i) the Agency shall pay or cause to be
paid or there shall otherwise be paid to the Owners of all Outstanding Bonds the principal thereof
and the interest and premium, if any, thereon at the times and in the manner stipulated herein and
therein, and (ii) all other amounts due and payable hereunder shall have been paid, then the
Owners shall cease to be entitled to the lien created hereby, and all agreements, covenants and
other obligations of the Agency hereunder shall thereupon cease, terminate and become void and
be discharged and satisfied. In such event, the Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Agency all
such instruments as may be necessary or desirable to evidence such discharge and satisfaction,
and the Trustee shall pay over or deliver to the Agency all money or securities held by it
pursuant hereto which are not required for the payment of the principal of and interest and
premium, if any, on the Bonds.
(b) Subject to the provisions of subsection (a) of this section, when any Bond shall
have been paid and if, at the time of such payment, the Agency shall have kept, performed and
observed all of the covenants and promises in such Bonds and in the Indenture required or

contemplated to be kept, performed and observed by it or on its part on or prior to that time, then
the Indenture shall be considered to have been discharged in respect of such Bond and such Bond
shall cease to be entitled to the lien created hereby, and all agreements, covenants and other
obligations of the Agency hereunder shall cease, terminate, become void and be completely
discharged and satisfied as to such Bond.
(c) Notwithstanding the discharge and satisfaction of the Indenture or the discharge

relating to the maturity of the Bonds, interest payments and dates thereof, exchange and transfer
of Bonds, replacement of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Bonds, the safekeeping and
cancellation of Bonds, non-presentment of Bonds, and the duties of the Trustee in connection
with all of the foregoing, shall remain in effect and shall be binding upon the Trustee and the
Owners and the Trustee shall continue to be obligated to hold in trust any moneys or investments

the Bonds, to pay to the Owners of the Bonds the funds so held by the Trustee as and when such
payment becomes due.
Section 11.02 Bonds Deemed to Have Been Paid. (a) If moneys shall have been set
aside and held by the Trustee for the payment or redemption of any Bond and the payment of the
interest thereon to the maturity or redemption date thereof, such Bond shall be deemed to have
been paid within the meaning and with the effect provided in Section 11.01 hereof. Any
Outstanding Bond shall prior to the maturity date or redemption date thereof be deemed to have
been paid within the meaning of and with the effect expressed in Section 11.01 hereof if:
(i) there shall have been deposited with the Trustee either (A) money in an
amount which shall be sufficient, or (B) Federal Securities, the principal of and the
interest on which when due, and without any reinvestment thereof, will provide moneys
which shall be sufficient to pay when due the interest to become due on such Bond on
and prior to the maturity date or redemption date thereof, as the case may be, and the
principal of and premium, if any, on such Bond, and
(ii) in the event such Bond is not by its terms subject to redemption within the
next succeeding 60 days, the Agency shall have given the Trustee in form satisfactory to
it irrevocable instructions to mail as soon as practicable, a notice to the owners of such
Bond that the deposit required by clause (i) above has been made with the Trustee and
that such Bond is deemed to have been paid in accordance with this section and stating
the maturity date or redemption date upon which money is to be available for the
payment of the principal of and premium, if any, on such Bond.
Neither the money nor the Federal Securities deposited with the Trustee pursuant to this
subsection in connection with the deemed payment of Bonds, nor principal or interest payments
on any such Federal Securities, shall be withdrawn or used for any purpose other than, and shall
be held in trust for and pledged to, the payment of the principal of and, premium, if any, and
interest on such Bonds.
(b) No Bond shall be deemed to have been paid pursuant to clause (i)(B) of
subsection (a) of this section unless the Agency shall cause to be delivered (A) an executed copy

agreement shall provide that no substitution of Federal Securities shall be permitted except with
other Federal Securities and upon delivery of a new Verification Report and no reinvestment of
Federal Securities shall be permitted except as contemplated by the original Verification Report
or upon delivery of a new Verification Report, and (C) a copy of an opinion of counsel of
recognized standing in the field of law relating to municipal bonds, dated the date of such

covenants and other obligations of the Agency hereunder as to such Bond have ceased,
terminated, become void and been completely discharged and satisfied.
(c) The Trustee is entitled to rely upon (i) an opinion of counsel of recognized
standing in the field of law relating to municipal bonds to the effect that the conditions precedent
to a deemed payment pursuant to clause (ii) of subsection (a) of this section have been satisfied,
and (ii) such other opinions, certifications and computations, of accountants or other financial
consultants concerning the matters described in paragraph (a)(i) of this section.
ARTICLE XII
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 12.01 Liability of Agency Limited to Tax Revenues. The Agency shall not be
required to advance any money derived from any source of income other than the Tax Revenues
for the payment of the principal of, and the interest on the Bonds or for the performance of any
covenants herein contained, other than the covenants contained in Section 6.11 hereof. The
Agency may, however, advance funds for any such purpose, provided that such funds are derived
from a source legally available for such purpose.
The Bonds are special obligations of the Agency and are payable, as to interest thereon
and principal thereof, exclusively from the Tax Revenues, and the Agency is not obligated to pay
them except from the Tax Revenues. All of the Bonds are equally secured by a pledge of, and
charge and lien upon, all of the Tax Revenues, and the Tax Revenues constitute a trust fund for
the security and payment of the principal of, and the interest on the Bonds, to the extent set forth
in the Indenture. The Bonds are not a debt of the City, the County, the State of California or any
other political subdivision of the State, and neither said City, said State, said County nor any of
the State’s other political subdivisions is liable therefor, nor in any event shall the Bonds be
payable out of any funds or properties other than those of the Agency pledged therefor as
provided in the Indenture. The Bonds do not constitute an indebtedness within the meaning of
any constitutional or statutory limitation or restriction, and neither the City Council members
acting for the Agency nor any persons executing the Bonds are liable personally on the Bonds by
reason of their issuance.
Section 12.02 Parties Interested Herein. Nothing in the Indenture, expressed or
implied, is intended to give to any person other than the Agency, the Trustee, [the Bond Insurer]
and the Owners any right, remedy or claim under or by reason of the Indenture. Any covenants,

OHSUSA:762514730.3
43747-2
stipulations, promises or agreements in the Indenture contained by and on behalf of the Agency
or any City Council member or officer or employee of the Agency shall be for the sole and
exclusive benefit of the Trustee, [the Bond Insurer] and the Owners.
Section 12.03 Unclaimed Moneys. Unclaimed Money. Anything contained herein to
the contrary notwithstanding, any money held by the Trustee in trust for the payment and
discharge of the interest on, or principal or prepayment premium, if any, of any Bond which
remains unclaimed for two (2) years after the date when such amounts have become payable, if
such money was held by the Trustee on such date, or for two (2) years after the date of deposit of
such money if deposited with the Trustee after the date such amounts have become payable shall
be paid by the Trustee to the Agency as its absolute property free from trust, and the Trustee
shall thereupon be released and discharged with respect thereto and the Owners shall look only
to the Agency for the payment of such amounts; provided, that before being required to make
any such payment to the Agency, the Trustee shall, at the expense of the Agency, give notice by
first class mail to all Owners and to the Securities Depository and the MSRB that such money
remains unclaimed and that after a date named in such notice, which date shall not be less than
sixty (60) days after the date of giving such notice, the balance of such money then unclaimed
will be returned to the Agency.
Section 12.04 Moneys Held for Particular Bonds. The money held by the Trustee for
the payment of the principal of or premium or interest on particular Bonds due on any date (or
portions of Bonds in the case of Bonds redeemed in part only) shall, on and after such date and
pending such payment, be set aside on its books and held in trust by it for the Owners of the
Bonds entitled thereto, subject, however, to the provisions of Section 12.03 hereof, but without
any liability for interest thereon.
Section 12.05 Successor Is Deemed Included in All References to Predecessor.
Whenever in the Indenture either the Agency or any City Council member or officer or employee
thereof is named or referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successor to the
powers, duties and functions, with respect to the management, administration and control of the
affairs of the Agency, that are presently vested in the Agency or such City Council member,
officer or employee, and all the agreements, covenants and provisions contained in the Indenture
by or on behalf of the Agency or any City Council member, officer or employee thereof shall
bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors thereof whether so expressed or not.
Section 12.06 Execution of Documents by Owners. Any request, declaration or other
instrument which the Indenture may require or permit to be executed by Owners may be in one
or more instruments of similar tenor, and shall be executed by Owners in person or by their
attorneys appointed in writing.
Except as otherwise herein expressly provided, the fact and date of the execution by any
Owner or his attorney of such request, declaration or other instrument, or of such writing
appointing such attorney, may be proved by the certificate of any notary public or other officer
authorized to take acknowledgments of deeds to be recorded in the state or territory in which he
purports to act, that the person signing such request, declaration or other instrument or writing
acknowledged to him the execution thereof, or by an affidavit of a witness of such execution,
duly sworn to before such notary public or other officer.

The Trustee may nevertheless in its discretion require further or other proof in cases
where it deems the same desirable. The ownership of registered Bonds and the amount,
maturity, number and date of holding the same shall be proved by the registry books provided for
in Section 2.12.
Any request, declaration or other instrument or writing of the Owner of any Bond shall
bind all future Owners of such Bond with respect to anything done by the Agency in good faith
and in accordance therewith.
Section 12.07 Waiver of Personal Liability. No City Council member or officer or
employee of the Agency shall be individually or personally liable for the payment of the
principal of, premium, if any, and the interest on the Bonds; but nothing herein contained shall
relieve any City Council member or officer or employee of the Agency from the performance of
any official duty provided by law.
Section 12.08 Acquisition of Bonds by Agency. All Bonds acquired by the Agency,
whether by purchase or gift or otherwise, shall be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation.
Section 12.09 Destruction of Cancelled Bonds. Whenever in the Indenture provision is
made for return to the Agency of any Bonds which have been cancelled pursuant to the
provisions of the Indenture, the Agency may, by a Written Request of the Agency, direct the
Trustee to destroy such Bonds and furnish to the Agency a certificate of such destruction.
Section 12.10 Content of Certificates and Reports. Every certificate or report with
respect to compliance with a condition or covenant provided for in the Indenture shall include (a)
a statement that the person or persons making or giving such certificate or report have read such
covenant or condition and the definitions herein relating thereto; (b) a brief statement as to the
nature and scope of the examination or investigation upon which the statements or opinions
contained in such certificate or report are based; (c) a statement that, in the opinion of the
signers, they have made or caused to be made such examination or investigation as is necessary
to enable them to express an informed opinion as to whether or not such covenant or condition
has been complied with; and (d) a statement as to whether, in the opinion of the signers, such
condition or covenant has been complied with.
Any such certificate made or given by an officer of the Agency may be based, insofar as

Section 12.15 [EXEMPLAR BOND INSURER TERMS INCLUDED FOR
REFERENCE; SUBJECT TO CHANGE:] [Bond Insurance Payment and Reimbursement
Provisions. The following provisions shall govern in the event of a conflict with any contrary
provision of the Indenture.
If, on the third Business Day prior to the related scheduled interest payment date or
principal payment date (“Payment Date”) there is not on deposit with the Trustee, after making
all transfers and deposits required under the Indenture, moneys sufficient to pay the principal of
and interest on the Insured Bonds due on such Payment Date, the Trustee shall give notice to the
Bond Insurer and to its designated agent (if any) (the “Insurer's Fiscal Agent”) by telephone or
telecopy of the amount of such deficiency by 12:00 noon, New York City time, on such Business
Day. 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 Insured Bonds due
on such Payment Date, the Trustee shall make a claim under the Bond 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 Insured Bonds and the amount required to pay principal of the Insured 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 Bond Insurance Policy.
In accordance with each Agency Indenture, the Agency Trustee shall telephonically
notify the Trustee on 3rd Business Day and again 2nd Business day, confirmed by fax/email,
prior to each Interest Payment Date if there is an insufficiency of funds on deposit with the
Agency Trustee. The Trustee shall give the notice and claim to Bond Insurer if it has been
notified by the Agency Trustee of the insufficiency of funds on deposit with the Agency Trustee
for the upcoming payment to the Trustee.
The Trustee shall designate any portion of payment of principal on Insured 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 Insured Bonds
registered to the then current Owner, whether DTC or its nominee or otherwise, and shall issue a
replacement Bond to the Bond Insurer, registered in the name of ___________, in a principal

43747-2
OHSUSA:762514730.3

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 Insured
Bond shall have no effect on the amount of principal or interest payable by the Agency on any
Insured Bond or the subrogation rights of the Bond Insurer.
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 Insured Bond. The Bond Insurer shall have the right
to inspect such records at reasonable times upon reasonable notice to the Trustee.
Upon payment of a claim under the Bond Insurance Policy, the Trustee shall establish a
separate special purpose trust account for the benefit of Owners referred to herein as the “Policy
Payments Account” and over which the Trustee shall have exclusive control and sole right of
withdrawal. The Trustee shall receive any amount paid under the Bond Insurance Policy in trust
on behalf of Owners and shall deposit any such amount in the Policy Payments Account and
distribute such amount only for purposes of making the payments for which a claim was made.
Such amounts shall be disbursed by the Trustee to Owners in the same manner as principal and
interest payments are to be made with respect to the Insured Bonds under the sections hereof
regarding payment of Insured 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 Agency agrees to pay to the Bond Insurer (i) a sum equal to the total of all amounts paid by
the Bond Insurer under the Bond 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, each including from amounts
paid to the Agency to the extent allocable to unpaid debt service on the Series 2015 Bonds
(collectively, the “Insurer Reimbursement Amounts”). “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 3.00%, and (ii) the then applicable highest rate of
interest on the Insured 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 Agency hereby covenants and agrees
that the Insurer Reimbursement Amounts are secured by a lien on and pledge of the Trust Estate
and payable from such Trust Estate on a parity with debt service due on the Insured Bonds,
payable solely from the Trust Estate.
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 a bond payment date shall promptly be remitted to the
Bond Insurer.
The Bond Insurer shall, to the extent it makes any payment of principal of or interest on
the Insured Bonds, become subrogated to the rights of the recipients of such payments in
accordance with the terms of the Bond Insurance Policy. Each obligation of the Agency to the

43747-2
OHSUSA:762514730.3
43747-2
Bond Insurer under the Related Documents shall survive discharge or termination of such
Related Documents.
The Agency shall pay or reimburse the Bond Insurer any and all charges, fees, costs and
expenses that the Bond Insurer may reasonably pay or incur in connection with (i) the
administration, enforcement, defense or preservation of any rights or security in any Related
Document; (ii) the pursuit of any remedies under the Indenture or any other Related Document
or otherwise afforded by law or equity, (iii) any amendment, waiver or other action with respect
to, or related to, the Indenture or any other Related Document whether or not executed or
completed, or (iv) any litigation or other dispute in connection with the Indenture or any other
Related Document or the transactions contemplated thereby, other than costs resulting from the
failure of the Bond Insurer to honor its obligations under the Bond Insurance Policy. 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 the Indenture or any other Related Document.
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 Agency only after the payment of
past due and current debt service on the Insured Bonds.
The Bond Insurer shall be entitled to pay principal or interest on the Insured Bonds that
shall become Due for Payment but shall be unpaid by reason of Nonpayment by the Agency (as
such terms are defined in the Bond Insurance Policy) and any amounts due on the Insured Bonds
as a result of acceleration of the maturity thereof in accordance with the Indenture, whether or
not the Bond Insurer has received a Notice of Nonpayment (as such terms are defined in the
Bond Insurance Policy) or a claim upon the Bond Insurance Policy.
The rights granted to the Bond Insurer under the Indenture or any other Related
Document to request, consent to or direct any action are rights granted to the Bond Insurer in
consideration of its issuance of the Bond 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 and such action does
not evidence any position of the Bond Insurer, affirmative or negative, as to whether the consent
of the Bondowners or any other person is required in addition to the consent of the Bond Insurer.
Amounts paid by the Bond Insurer under the Bond Insurance Policy shall not be deemed
paid for purposes of the Indenture and the Insured Bonds relating to such payments shall remain
Outstanding and continue to be due and owing until paid by the Issuer in accordance with the
Indenture. The 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.
In determining whether any amendment, consent, waiver or other action to be taken, or
any failure to take action, under the Indenture would adversely affect the security for the Insured
Bonds or the rights of the Owners, the Trustee shall consider the effect of any such amendment,
consent, waiver, action or inaction as if there were no Bond Insurance Policy.
The Bond Insurer shall be deemed to be the sole holder of the Bond Insured for the
purpose of exercising any voting right or privilege or giving any consent or direction or taking
72

OHSUSA:762514730.3
43747-2
OHSUSA:762514730.3

any other action that the holders of the Bonds insured by it are entitled to take pursuant to the
Indenture pertaining to (i) defaults and remedies and (ii) the duties and obligations of the
Trustee. Remedies granted to the Bondholders shall expressly include mandamus.
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 Insured Bonds may be impaired or prejudiced
in any material respect except upon obtaining the prior written consent of the Bond Insurer.
Any interest rate exchange agreement (“Swap Agreement”) entered into by the Agency
with respect to the Series 2015 Bonds shall meet the following conditions: (i) the Swap
Agreement must be entered into to manage interest costs related to, or a hedge against (a) assets
then held, or (b) debt then outstanding, or (iii) debt reasonably expected to be issued within the
next twelve (12) months, and (ii) the Swap Agreement shall not contain any leverage element or
multiplier component greater than 1.0x unless there is a matching hedge arrangement which
effectively off-sets the exposure from any such element or component. Unless otherwise
consented to in writing by the Bond Insurer, any uninsured net settlement, breakage or other
termination amount then in effect shall be subordinate to debt service on the Insured Bonds and
on any debt on parity with the Bonds. The Agency shall not terminate a Swap Agreement unless
it demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Bond Insurer prior to the payment of any such
termination amount that such payment will not cause the Agency to be in default under the
Related Documents, including but not limited to, any monetary obligations thereunder. All
counterparties or guarantors to any Swap Agreement must have a rating of at least “A-” and
“A3” by Standard & Poor's (S&P”) and Moody's Investors Service (“Moody's”). If the
counterparty or guarantor's rating falls below “A-” or “A3” by either S&P or Moody's, the
counterparty or guarantor shall execute a credit support annex to the Swap Agreement, which
credit support annex shall be acceptable to the Bond Insurer. If the counterparty or the
guarantor's long term unsecured rating falls below “Baal” or “BBB+” by either Moody's or S&P,
a replacement counterparty or guarantor, acceptable to the Bond Insurer, shall be required.]
Section 12.16 [EXEMPLAR BOND INSURER TERMS INCLUDED FOR
REFERENCE; SUBJECT TO CHANGE:] [Bond Insurer Notice Provisions. The Bond
Insurer shall be provided with the following information by the Agency or Trustee, as the case
may be:

Agency and the Trustee shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.
The rights and obligations of the Agency and of the registered owners of the Bonds may
be amended at any time in the manner, to the extent and upon the terms provided in the
Indenture, but no such amendment shall (1) extend the maturity of this Bond, or reduce the
interest rate hereon, or otherwise alter or impair the obligation of the Agency to pay the interest
hereon or principal hereof or any premium payable on the redemption hereof at the time and
place and at the rate and in the currency provided herein, without the express written consent of
the registered owner of this Bond, or (2) permit the creation by the Agency of any mortgage,
pledge or lien upon the Tax Revenues superior to or on a parity with the pledge and lien created

prior written assent thereto; all as more fully set forth in the Indenture.
This Bond is not a debt of the City of Culver City, the County of Los Angeles, the State
of California or any other political subdivision of the State, and neither said City, said State, said
County nor any of the State’s other political subdivisions is liable therefor, nor in any event shall

agreement, loan agreement, bond, note, resolution, ordinance, agreement or other instrument to
which the Agency is a party or is otherwise subject, and no event has occurred and is continuing

default under any such instrument; and, as of such times, except as disclosed in the Official
Statement, the authorization, execution and delivery of the Agency Documents, and compliance with
the provisions of each of such agreements or instruments do not and will not conflict with or

Statement, the Agency has not defaulted under any prior continuing disclosure undertaking.

and Conclusive Determination Letter”) approving the issuance of the bonds and the payment of debt
service on the Bonds for the term of the Bonds. No further Department of Finance approval or
consent is required for the issuance of the Bonds or the consummation of the transactions described
in the Preliminary Official Statement. Except as disclosed in the Preliminary Official Statement, the
Agency is not aware of the Department of Finance directing or having any basis to direct the County
