the registered owners of the Bonds. Payment of the Bonds at

ments or delays in the receipt of such installments, an amount
necessary to pay such deficiency shall be transferred as an
advance from the Special Reserve Fund to the Redemption Fund. The
amount so advanced shall be reimbursed to the Special Reserve Fund
from the proceeds of redemption or sale of the parcel for which
payment of delinquent installments was made from the Special
Reserve Fund, or from the delayed receipt of installments of
assessments.
2. In the event unpaid assessments are paid to the City
in cash prior to their final maturity date pursuant to the pro-
visions of the Bond Act for the advance payment of assessments,
such unpaid assessments shall be proportionately reduced by an
amount equal to the ratio of the total amount initially provided
for the Special Reserve Fund to the total amount originally
assessed in the proceedings for the Bonds, and an amount equal to
the reduction in such assessments as determined by the City shall
be transferred by the Fiscal Agent from the Special Reserve Fund
to the Redemption Fund.

in the Special Reserve Fund which the City has determined would
cause limitations imposed by Federal or State law, rules or
regulations to be exceeded shall be specified in writing to the
Fiscal Agent by the City Treasurer and placed in the Redemption
Fund by the Fiscal Agent and credited upon the unpaid assessments
in the manner specified in writing by the City Treasurer.
4. Whenever the balance in the Special Reserve Fund is
sufficient to pay the principal of all outstanding Bonds, the
interest thereon and the premium, if any, upon the prior redemp-
tion thereof, collection of the principal and interest on the
unpaid assessments shall be discontinued and the moneys in the
Special Reserve Fund shall be transferred to the Redemption Fund
for that purpose. Such balance shall be credited against the
assessments remaininq unpaid in the manner provided by law and
the amount apportioned to each unpaid assessment shall be
credited against the last unpaid assessment installment, and, if
the amount apportioned to each parcel exceeds the amount of the
last installment, then such excess shall be credited against the
next preceding unpaid assessment installment or installments
until exhausted. In the event that the balance in the Special
Reserve Fund at the time of liquidation exceeds the amount
required to retire all outstanding Bonds, the excess shall be
transferred to the City and apportioned by the City to each parcel
upon which the individual assessment remained unpaid at the time
the balance in the Special Reserve Fund was sufficient to retire
all outstanding Bonds. The payments shall be made in cash to the
respective owners of the parcels except that, if the excess is not
greater than $1,000, the excess may be transferred to the general
fund of the City.

direction of the City Treasurer, the Fiscal Agent shall deposit

less frequently than once each five years after the preceding
payment was due, a payment which, when aggregated with any prior
payments, ensures that the City has paid to the United States
Department of the Treasury an amount which is equal to 90 percent
of the rebate requirement calculated as of the date of such
payment or as of the previous calculation date; and (ii) not later
than 30 days after the first date, when there are no outstanding
Bonds, an amount of which, when aggregated with any prior

Investment Ear-nings to the United States government in accordance

a. the excess of
(1) the aggregate amount earned from the
delivery date on all Investment Property in which Gross
Proceeds of the Bonds are invested (other than amounts
attributable to an excess described in this
subparagraph l.a), over
(2) the amount that would have been earned
if the yield on such Investment Property (other than
amounts attributable to an excess described in this
subparagraph i.a) had been equal to the yield on the
Bonds,
plus
b. any income attributable to the excess
described in subparagraph l.a of this Paragraph D.
2. At or prior to the last day of the first bond
year, the City Treasurer shall calculate the Excess Investment

the amount of Excess Investment Earnings referenced in subpara-
graphs l.a and l.b of this Paragraph D and direct corresponding
transfers into the Rebate Fund. The City shall retain the
services of a nationally recognized bond counsel, an Independent
Certified Public Accountant or other person or entity qualified to
make such calculation in accordance with the following:
a. Except as provided in clause (ii), below, in
determining the amount described in subparagraph l.a(1) of
this Paragraph D, the aggregate amount earned on Investment
Property shall include (i) all income realized under federal
income tax accounting principles (whether or not the person
earning such income is subject to federal income tax) with
respect to such Investment Property and with respect to the

in acquiring, carrying, selling or redeeming such Investment
-8-
880707 pf A895.u1s 3

realized on the disposition of such Investment Property

under Section 453 of the Code relatinq to the taxable year
of inclusion of gross income), and income under Section 1272
of the Code (relating to oriqinal issue discount) and (ii)
any unrealized gain or loss as of the date of retirement of
the Bonds if any Investment Property is retained after such
date. �
b. In determining the amount described in
subparagraph l.a of this Paragraph D, an obligation or
security shall be treated as acquired for its fair market
value at the time it becomes a Investment Property, so that
gain or loss on the disposition of such an obligation or
security shall be computed with reference to such fair
market value as its adjusted basis.
c. In determininq the amount described in
subparagraph l.a(2) of this Paragraph D, the yield on the
Bonds shall be determined based on the actual yield of the
Bonds through maturity (with adjustments for discount or
premium).

paragraph 2 of this Paragraph D, all income attributable to
the excess described in subparagraph l.a of this Paragraph D
must be taken into account, whether or not that income
exceeds the yield with respect to the Bonds, and no amount
may be treated as "negative arbitrage."
3. Upon direction of the City Treasurer, the Fiscal
Agent shall pay Excess Investment Earnings to the United States
of America in installments with the first payment to be made not
later than 30 days after the end of the fifth bond year and with
subsequent payments to be made not later than five 5 years after
the preceding payment was due. The City Treasurer shall assure
that each installment is in an amount equal to at least 90
percent of the Excess Investment Earnings with respect to the
Bonds as of the close of the bond year. Upon the direction of
the City Treasurer, which direction shall be given before 60 days

from the Rebate Fund, or the City shall pay directly, 100 percent
of the theretofore unpaid Excess Investment Earnings of the Bonds.

by the City Treasurer prescribed by Treasury Regulations as the
same may be in time to time in effect, together with such reports

instructions as supplied by the City Treasurer, it shall be deemed
to have complied with this Paragraph D and shall have no
-9-
sao�o� pf �a9s.u�s 3
responsibility to calculate Excess Investment Earnings or to take
action in the absence of instructions from the City Treasurer.

B. �se of Proceeds and Imorovements. All use of
the improvements and works installed and constructed in connec-
tion with Assessment District No. 87-1 by any person or entity is
and shall be on the same basis as that of the general public,
that is, neither the improvements nor any portion thereof shall
be used for a„private business use" within the meaning of that
tena under Section 141(b) of the Code. The City shall not take
any action which would result in the Bonds being "arbitrage bonds"
within the meaninq of Section 148 of the Code. No proceeds of the
issue shall be used (directly or indirectly) to make or finance
loans (other than loans described in Section 141(c)(2) of the
Code) to persons other than governmental units. The City
covenants and agrees to take no action which, in the opinion of
counsel, would result in the interest received by the registered
owners becoming taxable under federal income tax laws. Any
opinion of such counsel may be based upon, insofar as it relates
to factual matters, information which is in the possession of the
City as shown by a certificate or opinion of, or representation
by, an officer or officers of the City, unless such counsel knows,
or in the exercise of reasonable care should have known, that the
certificate or opinion or representation with respect to the
matters upon which such opinion may be based, as aforesaid, is
erroneous. As used herein, "opinion of counsel" means a written
opinion of an attorney or fina of attcrneys nationally recognized
in the field of municipal bond law. The City hereby further
covenants and agrees that it shall take no action and shall permit
no action to be taken which would cause the Bonds to be federally
guaranteed within the meaning of that term under Section 149(b) of �
the Code.
None of the foregoing covenants, agreements or duties
shall be construed to require the expenditure in any manner for
any purpose by the City of any funds other than the annual
assessment principal and interest installments levied, collected
and received by the City.
Section 12. Prior Redemption. Each Bond outstanding
may be redeemed and paid in advance of maturity on any March 2nd
or September 2nd in any year by the Fiscal Agent giving at least
30 days but not more than 60 days notice to the registered owner
thereof and by paying the principal amount thereof together with a
premium equal to three percent of the principal plus interest to
the date of redemption, unless sooner surrendered, in which event
such intereat will be paid to the date of payment. Ninety days
prior to the date selected for redemption, the City shall provide
notice thereof to the Fiscal Agent. The Fiscal Agent shall call
for redemption and redeem Bonds upon prepayment of assessments in
amounts sufficient therefor. The Fiscal Agent shall select Bonds
for redemption in the manner set forth in the Fiscal Agency
Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit B.

hereof and would have authorized the issuance of the Bonds pur-
suant hereto irrespective of the fact that any one or more sec-
tions, paragraphs, subdivisions, sentences, clauses or phrases of

COVENANT FOR SUPERIOR COURT FORECLOSURE: In the event
of a delinquency in the payment of any installment of an unpaid
assessment, the City has covenanted to order institution of an
action in the Superior Court of the State of California to fore-
close the lien of such delinquent assessment, as authorized in
Part 14 of Division 10 of the California Streets and Highways
Code (the Improvement Bond Act of 1915) within 150 days following
the date of such delinquency.
SPECIAL RESERVE FUND: Resolution No. 88-74 of the City
Council provides for the creation of a special reserve fund (the
"Special Reserve Fund") to provide available funds, from which
the City can advance the amount of any delinquent installment on
unpaid assessments levied in the proceedings, and interest
thereon, or the amount of any installment, the receipt of which
has been delayed, into the Redemption Fund for the Bonds. Pay-
ments from the Special Reserve Fund shall be deemed an advance to
be reimbursed from the proceeds of redemption or sale of the
properties with respect to which payment of delinquent assess-
ments and interest thereon was paid, or from such delayed
installments.
The Special Reserve Fund shall be held and maintained '
by the City Treasurer as a separate trust account. Upon receipt

percent per annum, payable March 2nd and September 2nd in each
year, commencing on March 2, 1989. The rate bid must be a multi-
ple of one-eiqhth of one percent or one-twentieth of one percent
or any combination thereof. All Bonds of the same maturity must
bear the same interest rate and the rate bid for any maturity
must be the sa�e or higher than the rate of the precedinq matur-
ity. The rate on any maturity or group of maturities shall not
be more than four percent hiqher than the rate on any other
maturity or group of maturities. No Bond may bear more than one
rate, and each Bond must bear interest at the rate specified in
the bid from its date to its fixed maturity date. Any premium
must be paid in a Federal Funds check as part of the purchase
price and no bid will be accepted which provides for the
cancellation and surrender of any interest payment or for the
waiver of interest or other concession by the bidder as a
substitute for payment in full of the purchase price.
Sale of Bonds: The Bonds shall be sold for cash only
and all bids must be for not less than all of the Bonds hereby
offered for sale. Each bid shall state that the bidder offers
accrued interest to the date of delivery, the purchase price,
which shall not be less than 97 percent of the aggregate prin-
cipal amount of the Bonds, the premium (if any), and the interest
rate, not to exceed that specified herein, at which the bidder
offers to buy the Bonds. Each bidder is requested, but not
required, to state in the bid the net interest cost in dollars
and the net interest rate determined thereby, which shall be
considered informative only and not a part of the bid.
Hiqhest Bidder; Printinq: The Bonds will be awarded to
the highest responsible bidder or bidders considering the
interest rates specified for the various maturities and the
premium or discount offered, if any. The highest bid will be
determined by deducting the amount of the premium (if any) from,
or adding the amount of the discount (if any) to, the total
amount of interest which the City would be required to pay from
the date of the Bonds to the maturity dates thereof at the rate
or rates specified in the bid, and the award will be made on the
basis of the lowest net interest cost to the City. If two or
more bids provide the same lowest net interest cost, the City
Council shall determine by lot which bid shall be accepted, and
such determination shall be final. The successful bidder must
pay accrued interest from the date of the Bonds to the date of
delivery thereof computed on a 360-day year basis. The cost of
printing the Bonds will be borne by the City.
