obligation to make Base Rental Payments is subject to abatement in the event of substantial interference with the use and possession of all or a part of
the Leased Property. See ‘‘RISK FACTORS—Abatement’’ herein. The City has covenanted under the Lease to take such action as may be necessary to
include and maintain all Base Rental Payments in its annual budget and to make the necessary appropriations therefor, subject to such abatement.

VICTORVILLE JOINT POWERS FINANCING AUTHORITY
VARIABLE RATE LEASE REVENUE BONDS, 2007 SERIES A
(COGENERATION FACILITY PROJECT)

INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT

Authorization

This Official Statement, including the cover page and appendices, is provided to furnish
information in connection with the sale by the Victorville Joint Powers Financing Authority (the
“Authority”) of $83,770,000 aggregate principal amount of Victorville Joint Powers Financing Authority
Variable Rate Lease Revenue Bonds, 2007 Series A (Cogeneration Facility Project) (the “Bonds”). This
Introductory Statement is not a summary of this Official Statement. It is only a brief description of and
guide to, and is qualified by, more complete and detailed information contained in the entire Official
Statement, including the appendices hereto, and the documents summarized or described herein. A full
review should be made of the entire Official Statement. The offering of Bonds to potential investors is
made only by means of the entire Official Statement.

The Bonds will be issued under the provisions of the Marks-Roos Local Bond Pooling Act of
1985, constituting Article 4 of Chapter 5 of Division 7 of Title 1 (commencing with Section 6584) of the
California Government Code (the “Bond Law”). The Bonds will be issued pursuant to an Indenture,
dated as of May 1, 2007 (the “Indenture”), by and between the Authority and The Bank of New York
Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”).

Use of Proceeds

The proceeds of the Bonds will be used (i) to refund the Authority’s Variable Rate Lease
Revenue Bonds, 2005 Series A (Cogeneration Facility Project) and Variable Rate Lease Revenue Bonds,
2006 Series A (Cogeneration Facility Expansion Project), (ii) to finance certain improvements to the
City’s electric system, (iii) to fund capitalized interest on the Bonds, (iv) to fund a reserve fund for the
Bonds, and (v) to pay costs of issuance of the Bonds. See “PLAN OF REFUNDING,” “THE PROJECT”
and “ESTIMATED SOURCES AND USES OF FUNDS” herein.

Security for the Bonds

The Authority has leased certain real property and improvements thereon (the “Leased Property”)
from the City of Victorville (the “City”) pursuant to a Site Lease, dated as of May 1, 2007, by and
between the Authority and the City, and has leased the Leased Property back to the City pursuant to a
Lease Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2007 (the “Lease”), by and between the Authority and the City.
Under the Lease, the City will pay to the Authority certain base rental payments (the “Base Rental
Payments”) in amounts equal to the scheduled debt service on the Bonds. A portion of the Leased
Property has been leased to the City by the Victorville Recreation and Park District and the Victorville
Fire Protection District pursuant to separate Site Leases, each dated as of May 1, 2007 (collectively, the
“District Site Leases”).

The Bonds are special obligations of the Authority secured by and payable solely from Revenues,
defined in the Indenture as (i) all Base Rental Payments payable by the City under the Lease (including
prepayments), (ii) any proceeds of Bonds originally deposited with the Trustee and all moneys on deposit

1
in the funds and accounts established under the Indenture, (iii) investment income with respect to such
moneys held by the Trustee and (iv) any insurance proceeds or condemnation awards received by or
payable to the Trustee with respect to the Leased Property, including rental interruption insurance. Under
the Lease, the City is obligated to budget and appropriate from its General Fund amounts sufficient to
make Base Rental Payments. See “SECURITY FOR THE BONDS.”

Pursuant to an Assignment Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2007 (the “Assignment Agreement”),


by and between the Authority and the Trustee, the Authority will assign to the Trustee certain of its rights
under the Lease, as additional security for the performance of its obligations under the Bonds and the
Indenture, including its right to receive Base Rental Payments and Additional Rental Payments under the
Lease. The Base Rental Payments and the Additional Rental Payments are to be applied, and the rights so
assigned are to be exercised, by the Trustee as provided in the Indenture.

The obligation of the City to make Base Rental Payments under the Lease is an unsecured
obligation of the City, payable from its general fund. See “SECURITY FOR THE BONDS” herein.
Under the Lease, the City has covenanted to budget and appropriate sufficient funds to make all payments
required to be made under the Lease, subject only to abatement as provided therein. See “RISK
FACTORS – Base Rental Payments Not Debt” and “– Abatement.”

Letter of Credit. Payments of principal, redemption amount (but not any premium) and interest
on the Bonds will be initially supported by an irrevocable letter of credit (the “Letter of Credit” or “Credit
Facility”) to be issued by Fortis Bank S.A./N.V., acting through its New York Branch (the “Credit
Entity”). Drawings under the Letter of Credit will be used to pay the principal of and interest on the
Bonds when due. The Letter of Credit will also be drawn on, if other funds are not available, to purchase
Bonds tendered by Owners. See “THE LETTER OF CREDIT AND THE REIMBURSEMENT
AGREEMENT” and “THE CREDIT ENTITY” herein.

Further Information

Brief descriptions of the Bonds, the Indenture, the Site Lease, the Lease, the Assignment
Agreement, the Letter of Credit, the Reimbursement Agreement, the Authority and the City, the Credit
Entity, and other information are included in this Official Statement. Such descriptions and information
do not purport to be comprehensive or definitive. The descriptions herein of the Bonds, the Indenture, the
Lease, the Letter of Credit, the Reimbursement Agreement and other documents are qualified in their
entirety by reference to the forms thereof. For definitions of certain capitalized terms used herein and not
otherwise defined, and a description of certain terms relating to the Bonds, see “APPENDIX C –
SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL LEGAL DOCUMENTS.”

THE BONDS

General Provisions

The Bonds will be dated the Closing Date thereof and will bear interest until their maturity,
payable on each Bond Payment Date, except that interest due with respect to any Bonds purchased by the
Trustee by means of a drawing on the Letter of Credit pursuant to the tender of Bonds on a Tender Date
and which Bonds are registered in the name of and owned by the Credit Entity and held by the Tender
Agent (“Credit Facility Bonds”), will accrue from the date such Bonds become Credit Facility Bonds at
the rate set forth in the Reimbursement Agreement and shall be payable as set forth therein.

Each Bond will bear interest from the Bond Payment Date next preceding the date on which it is
authenticated unless it is (a) authenticated after a Record Date and on or before the next Bond Payment
Date, in which event it will bear interest from such Bond Payment Date or (b) authenticated on or before

2
the first Record Date, in which event it will bear interest from the Closing Date; provided, however, that
if at the time of authentication of any Bond interest is in default, such Bond will bear interest from the
date to which interest has been paid. The Bonds will bear interest at the Weekly Rate or Daily Rate until
the Fixed Rate Conversion Date, and on and after the Fixed Rate Conversion Date, at the Fixed Rate.
Interest on the Bonds during the Weekly Rate Period or Daily Rate Period will be computed upon the
basis of a 365- or 366-day year, as applicable, for the number of days actually elapsed prior to the Fixed
Rate Conversion Date. On and after the Fixed Rate Conversion Date interest on the Bonds will be
computed upon the basis of a 360-day year, consisting of twelve 30-day months.

Payment of interest with respect to any Bond on any Bond Payment Date or Redemption Date
will be made to the person appearing on the registration books of the Trustee as the Owner thereof as of
the Record Date immediately preceding such Bond Payment Date or Redemption Date, as the case may
be, such interest to be paid by check mailed by first class mail on the Bond Payment Date to such Owner
at his address as it appears on such registration books. Payments of defaulted interest will be paid by
check of the Trustee mailed to the registered Owners as of a special record date to be fixed by the Trustee
in its sole discretion, notice of which will be given to the Owners not less than 10 days prior to such
special record date. Payment of interest represented by the Bonds may, at the option of any Owner of at
least $1,000,000 principal amount of Bonds of a series (such option to be exercised by written request of
such Owner to the Trustee), be transmitted by wire transfer to such Owner to the bank account number in
the United States filed with the Trustee prior to the Record Date for a Bond Payment Date. See “THE
BONDS – Book-Entry Only System” herein.

The principal payable upon maturity or prior redemption with respect to the Bonds will be
payable upon surrender prior to the Fixed Rate Conversion Date at the Principal Office of the Trustee or
the Principal Office of the Tender Agent and thereafter at the Principal Office of the Trustee with such
principal to be paid by check mailed by the Trustee on the Bond Payment Date or redemption date by first
class mail to each Owner at his address as it appears on the registration books; provided, however, that
prior to the Fixed Rate Conversion Date payment of such principal will be made by wire transfer to an
Owner of Bonds who has exercised his/her option for payment by wire transfer pursuant to the Indenture.
Said amounts will be payable in lawful money of the United States of America. The Trustee is authorized
to pay or redeem the Bonds when duly presented for payment at maturity or on redemption and to cancel
all Bonds upon payment thereof; provided, however, that no such cancellation of Bonds will affect the
obligations of the Credit Entity arising under the Credit Facility; provided that the Credit Facility is
subject to reduction in accordance with its terms in connection with the payment at maturity or earlier
redemption of the Bonds.

Upon surrender by the Owner of a Bond for partial redemption at the Principal Office, payment
of such partial redemption of the principal amount of a Bond will be made to such Owner by check
mailed by first class mail to the Owner at his address as it appears on the registration books of the
Trustee, or prior to the Fixed Rate Conversion Date by wire transfer to any Owner who has exercised its
option for payment by wire transfer pursuant to the Indenture. Upon surrender of any Bond redeemed in
part only, the Trustee or the Tender Agent will execute and deliver to the Owner thereof, at the expense of
the City, a new Bond or Bonds of the same series which will be of Authorized Denominations equal in
aggregate principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Bond surrendered and of the same interest
rate and the same maturity. Such partial redemption will be valid upon payment of the amount thereby
required to be paid to such Owner, and the City, the Authority and the Trustee will be released and
discharged from all liability to the extent of such payment.

Subject to the book-entry only system, Bonds may be exchanged or substituted for or in lieu of
mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed Bonds by request to the Trustee. The Trustee and the Tender Agent
may require payment of an appropriate fee and expenses with respect to any such exchange or
substitution.

3
Interest Rate Determination Methods

Weekly Rate. The rate of interest on the Bonds may, at the option of the City, be established at a
Weekly Rate on any Bond Payment Date during a Daily Rate Period. So long as the Bonds bear interest
at a Weekly Rate, the Remarketing Agent will set the Weekly Rate on Wednesday of each calendar week.
The Remarketing Agent will give notice in writing to the Trustee and the Credit Entity of each Weekly
Rate as soon as possible following the determination of such rate. Each Weekly Rate will be the rate per
annum equal to the minimum rate necessary (as determined by the Remarketing Agent) for the
Remarketing Agent to sell the Bonds on the date the Weekly Rate is set at a price equal to 100% of the
principal amount thereof plus accrued interest; provided, however, that in no event will the interest rate
borne by the Bonds (other than Credit Facility Bonds) exceed the Maximum Rate. Each Weekly Rate will
be effective Thursday through the next succeeding Wednesday (or through the end of the period in which
the Bonds bear interest at a Weekly Rate, whichever first occurs).

The City shall deliver a written notice to the Trustee, the Tender Agent, the Remarketing Agent,
and the Credit entity specifying the Interest Rate Conversion Date upon which the interest rate borne by
the Bonds shall be converted to a Weekly Rate, which shall be not less than thirty (30) days after notice is
received by the parties. The Trustee shall give notice to the registered owners of the bonds, in the same
manner that notices of redemption are given, not less than fifteen (15) days before the Interest Rate
Conversion Date specifying the Interest Rate Conversion Date, and that the interest rate on the Bonds will
be established at a Weekly Rate on the Interest Rate Conversion Date, that all outstanding Bonds not
tendered for purchase at least seven (7) days before the Interest Rate Conversion Date will be deemed to
have been so tendered and shall, unless remarketed, be purchased on the Interest Rate Conversion Date at
a price equal to the principal amount thereof plus interest accrued on such date and that all Bonds must be
surrendered to the Tender Agent for purchase not later than 11:00 a.m., New York time, on the Interest
Rate Conversion Date.

If for any reason the Remarketing Agent does not set a Weekly Rate on Wednesday of a calendar
week, then the Weekly Rate for that period will remain at the Weekly Rate set for the immediately
preceding Thursday through Wednesday period. If a court holds that the Weekly Rate set for any period is
invalid or unenforceable, the Weekly Rate for that period, will be the rate that is equal to the 30-day tax-
exempt commercial paper rate published in The Bond Buyer (or any successor to such publication) as of
the date of determination of the unenforceable rate or, in the event The Bond Buyer (or any such
successor) is no longer published, any other newspaper or journal containing financial news, printed in
the English language and customarily published on each Business Day, of general circulation in New
York, New York and selected by the Authority, whose decision will be final and conclusive.

Daily Rate. The rate of interest on the Bonds may, at the option of the City, be established at a
Daily Rate on any Bond Payment Date during a Weekly Period. So long as the Bonds bear interest at a
Daily Rate, the Remarketing Agent will set the Daily Rate on or before 10:30 a.m., New York time, on
each Business Day for that Business Day. The Daily Rate for any non-Business Day shall be the Daily
Rate for the last day on which a Daily Rate was set. The Remarketing Agent will give notice in writing to
the Trustee and the Credit Entity of each Daily Rate as soon as possible following the determination of
such rate. Each Daily Rate will be the rate per annum equal to the minimum rate necessary (as
determined by the Remarketing Agent) for the Remarketing Agent to sell the Bonds on the date the Daily
Rate is set at 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest; provided, however, that in no
event shall the interest rate borne by the Bonds (other than Credit Facility Bonds) exceed the Maximum
Rate.

The City shall deliver a written notice to the Trustee, the Tender Agent, the Remarketing Agent
and the Credit Entity specifying the Interest Rate Conversion Date upon which the interest rate borne by
the Bonds shall be converted to a Daily Rate, which shall be not less than thirty (30) days after notice is

4
received by the parties. The Trustee shall give notice to the registered owners of the bonds, in the same
manner that notices of redemption are given, not less than fifteen (15) days before the Interest Rate
Conversion Date specifying the Interest Rate Conversion Date, and that the interest rate on the Bonds will
be established at a Daily Rate on the Interest Rate Conversion Date, that all outstanding Bonds not
tendered for purchase at least seven (7) days before the Interest Rate Conversion Date will be deemed to
have been so tendered and shall, unless remarketed, be purchased on the Interest Rate Conversion Date at
a price equal to the principal amount thereof plus interest accrued on such date and that all Bonds must be
surrendered to the Tender Agent for purchase not later than 11:00 a.m., New York time, on the Interest
Rate Conversion Date.

If for any reason the Remarketing Agent does not set a Daily Rate on any Business Day, then the
Daily Rate most recently determined shall remain in effect until such time as the Remarketing Agent
determines the new Daily Rate.

Fixed Rate. The Remarketing Agent will set the Fixed Rate on a date (the “Determination Date”)
no fewer than two nor more than fifteen (15) Business Days before the Fixed Rate Conversion Date. The
Fixed Rate will be the rate determined by the Remarketing Agent to be the rate per annum equal to the
minimum interest rate which would be necessary for the Remarketing Agent to sell the Bonds on the
Determination Date at 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest; provided, however,
that in no event will the interest rate borne by the Bonds on and after the Fixed Rate Conversion Date
exceed the Maximum Rate. A conversion of all or any sinking fund redemptions to serial maturity dates
will be required to the extent, in the opinion of the Remarketing Agent, such a conversion will reduce the
total interest to be paid by the City as Base Rental. In such case, all references to a Fixed Rate will refer
to the interest rates applicable to each maturity.

Conversion of Interest to Fixed Rate

Notice and Opinion of Bond Counsel. The City may initiate action to convert the interest borne
by all of the Bonds from the Weekly Rate or Daily Rate to the Fixed Rate by notifying the Authority, the
Trustee, the Tender Agent, the Credit Entity and the Remarketing Agent of the proposed Fixed Rate
Conversion Date at least 60 days prior to such proposed date. The notice will be accompanied by (i) an
opinion of Bond Counsel stating that the conversion is not prohibited by the law of the State or the
Indenture and that the conversion will not cause the interest on the Bonds to fail to be exempt from
personal income taxes of the State, or to fail to be excluded pursuant to section 103(a) of the Code from
the gross income of the owners thereof for federal income tax purposes, and (ii) written evidence of
satisfaction of the limitations specified in the Indenture. The Trustee will have no obligation to provide
notice to the Owners of a change to a Fixed Rate unless the Trustee has received the notice from the City
and the opinion of Bond Counsel in accordance with the provisions set forth under this heading. The City
may not request a conversion from the Weekly Rate or Daily Rate to the Fixed Rate during the existence
of an Event of Default and the notice from the City will certify as to the absence thereof. If the City’s
notice complies with the provisions of this paragraph, the Fixed Rate will be applicable from the effective
date specified in the notice until maturity of the Bonds. Upon conversion from the Weekly Rate or Daily
Rate to the Fixed Rate, the Trustee promptly will surrender the Letter of Credit to the Credit Entity
required by the terms of the Letter of Credit.

Limitation. A conversion from the Weekly Rate or Daily Rate to the Fixed Rate pursuant to the
paragraph above will comply with the following: (i) the effective date of the conversion will be a Bond
Payment Date; and (ii) the Remarketing Agent will have agreed to remarket the Bonds on the Fixed Rate
Conversion Date.

Notice to Owners of Change to Fixed Rate. When a conversion from the Weekly Rate or Daily
Rate to the Fixed Rate is to be made, the Trustee will notify the Owners and the Credit Entity by first

5
class mail at least 30 but not more than 60 days prior to the proposed Fixed Rate Conversion Date. The
notice will be prepared and furnished by the City to the Trustee for mailing at least 60 days prior to the
proposed Fixed Rate Conversion Date and will state:

(1) that the interest rate payable with respect to the Bonds will be converted to the Fixed
Rate;

(2) the effective date of the Fixed Rate;

(3) the Bond Payment Dates and Record Dates following the Fixed Rate Conversion Date;

(4) that following the Fixed Rate Conversion Date there will be no option to tender Bonds
for purchase;

(5) that all Bonds are subject to mandatory tender for purchase on the Fixed Rate Conversion
Date and will be deemed to have been so tendered and will be purchased on the Fixed Rate
Conversion Date at the principal amount thereof plus interest accrued to such date;

(6) any ratings assigned to the Bonds by a nationally recognized rating agency to be effective
on the Fixed Rate Conversion Date and that such ratings assigned to the Bonds may be reduced or
withdrawn;

(7) the proposed maturity schedule for the Bonds following the Fixed Rate Conversion Date;

(8) the redemption provisions to which the Bonds are subject following the Fixed Rate
Conversion Date;

(9) that following the Fixed Rate Conversion Date Bonds may be issued in denominations of
$5,000 or integral multiples of $5,000;

(10) that if the opinion of Bond Counsel described under the heading “Notice and Opinion of
Bond Counsel” above is rescinded, the interest rate will not be converted to the Fixed Rate; and

(11) that if a Credit Facility is to be provided to secure the payment of the Bonds, the name of
the institution providing such Credit Facility and the principal terms of such Credit Facility; or, if
a Credit Facility is not to be provided, the fact that a Credit Facility will not thereafter secure the
payment of the Bonds.

Calculation of Interest. During the Weekly Rate Period or Daily Rate Period, interest with
respect to the Bonds will be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 365
days (366 days in leap years) and will be payable on each Bond Payment Date as set forth in the
Indenture. On and after the Fixed Rate Conversion Date, interest with respect to the Bonds will be
computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months and will be payable on each
Bond Payment Date as set forth in the Indenture. Interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful,
on overdue premium and interest with respect to any Bond will be payable at the rate applicable to such
Bond until paid. Provisions in the Reimbursement Agreement may make different arrangements with
respect to interest accruing on Credit Facility Bonds. The Trustee will compute the amount of interest
payable with respect to the Bonds using the rates supplied to the Trustee by the Remarketing Agent. The
Remarketing Agent will send notice in writing to the Trustee and the Tender Agent, of the following:

(1) on the Wednesday of each week in which interest on the Bonds is payable at a Weekly
Rate, of the Weekly Rate for the applicable Thursday through Wednesday period;

6
(2) on or before 10:30 a.m., New York time, on each Business Day of each week in which
interest on the Bonds is payable at a Daily Rate, of the Daily Rate for such Business Day; and

(3) on the first Business Day after the Determination Date, the Fixed Rate set on such
Determination Date.

Using the rates supplied by such notices, the Trustee will calculate the interest payable with
respect to the Bonds for the applicable period. During the Weekly Rate Period or the Daily Rate Period,
the Trustee will send the City at least five (5) days prior to each Bond Payment Date as set forth in the
Indenture written notice of the interest that will have accrued with respect to the Bonds for the period
from the preceding Bond Payment Date to the upcoming Bond Payment Date. The Remarketing Agent
will inform the Trustee, the City, the Tender Agent and the Credit Entity orally at the oral request of any
of them of any interest rate established by the Remarketing Agent. The Trustee will confirm the effective
interest rate by telephone or in writing to any Owner (at such Owner’s cost) who requests it in any
manner.

The setting of the rates and the calculation of interest payable with respect to the Bonds as
provided in the Indenture will be conclusive and binding on all parties.

Rescission of Opinion of Bond Counsel. Notwithstanding any provision in the Indenture to the
contrary, no conversion will be made from the Weekly Rate or Daily Rate to the Fixed Rate if the Trustee
and the Tender Agent receive written notice from Bond Counsel prior to such conversion that the opinion
of Bond Counsel required as described under the heading “Notice and Opinion of Bond Counsel” above
has been rescinded. If the Trustee has sent any notice to the Owners and the Credit Entity regarding the
conversion to the Fixed Rate pursuant to Indenture, then in the event of rescission of the opinion of Bond
Counsel, the Trustee will promptly notify all Owners and the Credit Entity of such rescission and that the
rate will not be converted to the Fixed Rate.

Swap Agreements

The Authority may, with the prior consent of the Credit Entity, at any time that the Bonds are
Outstanding enter into one or more additional contracts (each a “Swap Agreement”) in order to place the
Bonds, or any portion thereof, on the interest rate, currency, cash-flow, or other basis desired by the City
and the Authority, including, without limitation, interest rate swap agreements, currency swap
agreements, forward payment conversion agreements, futures contracts, contracts providing for payments
based on levels of or changes in interest rates, currency exchange rates, stock or other indices, or contracts
to exchange cash flows or a series of payments, and contracts including, without limitation, interest rate
floors or caps, options, puts or calls to hedge payments, currency rate, spread or similar exposure;
provided, however, the Authority will enter into such a contract only if either (i) the counterpart to any
such contract or the guarantor of the obligations of such counterpart has an unsecured, uninsured and
unguaranteed long-term obligation rated by Moody’s or S&P in one of its two highest long-term rating
categories (without reference to gradations such as “plus” or “minus”) or, (ii) each rating agency which
then has a rating assigned by any Bond that would be secured on a parity with the Authority’s obligation
under said contract confirms in writing to the Trustee that the City’s execution and delivery of such Swap
Agreement will not result in a reduction or withdrawal of such rating.

Redemption

Mandatory Redemption from Net Proceeds. The Bonds are subject to mandatory redemption on
any Bond Payment Date, in whole or in part, from moneys drawn under the Credit Facility, which shall be
reimbursed from Net Proceeds following the deposit by the Trustee in the Lease Prepayment Account of
the Redemption Fund of Net Proceeds deposited by the City under the Indenture, at least 45 days prior to
a Bond Payment Date which have been credited towards the Prepayment made by the City pursuant to the
Lease Agreement, at a redemption price equal to the principal amount of the Bonds to be redeemed,
together with accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption, without premium; provided, however, that
if there shall no longer be available a Credit Facility to secure the payment of principal and interest
represented by the Bonds or if the Credit Facility does not permit a draw with respect to Prepayments, the
Bonds are subject to redemption from Net Proceeds which the Trustee shall deposit in the Lease
Prepayment Account of the Redemption Fund, to be used to redeem the Bonds by the Trustee as provided
herein.

In the event that amounts remain in the Lease Prepayment Account because such amounts did not
constitute an Authorized Denomination of a Bond, then such amounts shall be transferred to the Lease
Payment Account of the Debt Service Fund.

Optional Redemption. During the Weekly Rate Period or the Daily Rate Period and on the Fixed
Rate Conversion Date, the Bonds are subject to optional redemption in whole or in part (in an amount of
$100,000 or any integral multiple of $5,000 in excess thereof) on any Business Day, at the option of the
Authority at a redemption price equal to the principal amount thereof together with accrued interest to the
date fixed for redemption, without premium.

8
After the Fixed Rate Conversion Date and subject to modification pursuant to the Indenture, the
Bonds are subject to optional redemption in whole or in part (in integral multiples of $5,000) on any
Business Day, at the option of the Authority at a redemption price equal to the principal amount thereof
together with accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption and following premium expressed as a
percentage of the redeemed principal amount:

Prepayment Date Premium

Ninth anniversary of the Fixed Rate Conversion Date to the day before
the tenth anniversary date of the Fixed Rate Conversion Date 2%

Tenth anniversary of the Fixed Rate Conversion Date to the day before
the eleventh anniversary date of the Fixed Rate Conversion Date 1%

Eleventh anniversary of the Fixed Rate Conversion Date and thereafter 0%

During the term of any Credit Facility no notice of any optional redemption shall be sent unless
either (1) the Authority has deposited with the Trustee moneys in an amount sufficient to cover the
principal of, premium, if any, and interest due on such redemption date (exclusive of anticipated
investment earnings thereon), or (2) the Authority delivers to the Trustee the written consent of the Credit
Entity.

Sinking Fund Redemption. The Bonds are subject to mandatory redemption in part on the dates
in the following years in the following amounts at a redemption price equal to the principal amount
thereof together with accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption, without premium:

_______________________
*Final Maturity

At the Fixed Rate Conversion Date, any annual sinking fund redemption which has not yet
become due may be treated as a serial maturity of principal bearing interest at the Fixed Rate payable on
May 1 and November 1 thereafter to maturity.

9
In the event of a partial redemption of Bonds pursuant to mandatory redemption from Net
Proceeds or optional redemption as described in the Indenture, the foregoing annual sinking fund
payments shall be reduced in equal percentages, as nearly as practicable, provided that the reductions
shall be made in multiples of $5,000. The City shall provide the Trustee with the amended sinking fund
payments schedule calculated as set forth above.

Selection of Bonds for Redemption. Whenever provision is made in the Indenture for the
redemption of Bonds and less than all Outstanding Bonds are called for redemption, the Trustee shall
select Bonds for redemption, from the Outstanding Bonds not previously called for redemption, in
Authorized Denominations, first from Credit Facility Bonds, then with respect to a mandatory redemption
from Net Proceeds on a pro rata basis among maturities and by lot within a maturity, and in the case of an
optional redemption from such maturities as are designated in a City Certificate. The Trustee shall
promptly notify the City and the Authority in writing of the Bonds so selected for redemption.

Partial Redemption of Bonds. Upon surrender by the Owner of a Bond for partial redemption at
the Principal Office, payment of such partial redemption of the principal amount of a Bond will be made
to such Owner by check mailed by first class mail to the Owner at his address as it appears on the
registration books of the Trustee, or prior to the Fixed Rate Conversion Date by wire transfer to any
Owner who has exercised its option for payment by wire transfer pursuant to the Indenture. Upon
surrender of any Bond redeemed in part only, the Trustee or the Tender Agent shall execute and deliver to
the Owner thereof, at the expense of the City, a new Bond or Bonds which shall be of Authorized
Denominations equal in aggregate principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Bond surrendered
and of the same interest rate and the same maturity. Such partial redemption shall be valid upon payment
of the amount thereby required to be paid to such Owner, and the City, the Authority and the Trustee shall
be released and discharged from all liability to the extent of such payment.

Notice of Redemption. When redemption is authorized or required pursuant to the Indenture, the
Trustee shall give notice of the redemption of the Bonds. Such notice shall specify: (a) that the Bonds or
a designated portion thereof are to be redeemed, (b) the CUSIP numbers and, if less than all of the Bonds
of a maturity are to be redeemed, the serial numbers of the Bonds to be redeemed, (c) the date of
redemption, (d) the place or places where the redemption will be made, (e) the following descriptive
information regarding the Bonds: date, interest rates and stated maturity dates, and (f) that a new Bond in
an amount equal to that portion not so redeemed will be executed by the Trustee and delivered to the
Owner in the event of a partial redemption. Such notice shall further state that on the specified date there
shall become due and payable upon each Bond to be redeemed, the portion of the principal amount of
such Bond to be redeemed, together with interest accrued to said date, and that from and after such date,
provided that moneys therefore have been deposited with the Trustee, interest with respect to such Bonds
to be redeemed shall cease to accrue and be payable.

Notice of such redemption shall be mailed by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the City, to all
municipal Securities Depositories and to at least one national Information Service which the City shall
designate to the Trustee, and to the respective Owners of any Bonds designated for redemption at their
addresses appearing on the Bond registration books, at least 30 days, but not more than 60 days, prior to
the redemption date; provided that neither failure to receive such notice nor any defect in any notice so
mailed shall affect the sufficiency of the proceedings for the redemption of such Bonds, and provided,
further, however, that the Trustee shall, on the day it receives notice of redemption by the City, provide
telephonic, telegraphic or telex notice of such notice of redemption to the Remarketing Agent and the
Credit Entity.

Effect of Notice of Redemption. Notice having been given as described above, and the moneys
for the redemption (including the interest to the applicable date of redemption), having been set aside in
the Redemption Fund, the Bonds shall become due and payable on said date of redemption, and, upon

10
presentation and surrender thereof at the Principal Office, said Bonds shall be paid at the unpaid principal
price with respect thereto, plus interest accrued and unpaid to said date of redemption.

If, on said date of redemption, moneys for the redemption of all the Bonds to be redeemed,
together with interest to said date of redemption, shall be held by the Trustee so as to be available therefor
on such date of redemption, and, if notice of redemption thereof shall have been given as aforesaid, then,
from and after said date of redemption, interest with respect to the Bonds shall cease to accrue and
become payable. All moneys held by or on behalf of the Trustee for the redemption of Bonds shall be
held in trust for the account of the Owners of the Bonds so to be redeemed.

All Bonds paid at maturity or redeemed prior to maturity pursuant to the provisions of the
Indenture shall be canceled upon surrender thereof and delivered to or upon the order of the City.

Mandatory Tender of Bonds – Fixed Rate Conversion Date

In the event the City has complied with the requirements of the Indenture to change the interest
rate represented by the Bonds to a Fixed Rate, all Bonds will be subject to mandatory tender and purchase
on the Fixed Rate Conversion Date in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture and as described
herein under the heading “Mechanics of Mandatory Tender.”

Mandatory Tender of Bonds – Other than on Fixed Rate Conversion Date

The Bonds are subject to mandatory tender on the last Bond Payment Date occurring on or prior
to the date at least five days prior to the date on which the Credit Facility is scheduled to expire or
terminate in accordance with its respective terms and if the Trustee has not received notice at least 40
days prior to such Bond Payment Date that an Alternate Credit Facility is to be provided. Not less than
thirty days before each such Mandatory Tender Date under this paragraph, the Trustee shall send a notice
to all Owners by first class mail, postage prepaid, which notice shall contain the following information:
(1) that the Credit Facility is scheduled to expire or terminate and no Alternate Credit Facility will be
provided, (2) that each Owner’s Bond is subject to mandatory tender as provided in such notice, and (3) if
any of the nationally recognized rating agencies which has a credit rating outstanding on the Bonds has
indicated to the Trustee in writing that it will lower or withdraw its rating on the Bonds as of such
Mandatory Tender Date, notice of such new rating, or if no new rating is available, notice that any of such
rating agencies may lower or withdraw such rating as of such Mandatory Tender Date.

The Bonds are subject to mandatory tender on an Interest Rate Conversion Date for which a
notice can be given.

The Bonds are subject to mandatory tender under this paragraph on the first Business Day to
occur on or after the seventh day following receipt by the Trustee of notice from the Credit Entity of the
occurrence of an event of default under the Reimbursement Agreement, or that the Credit Entity will not
reinstate the interest portion of the Credit Facility. Not later than the third Business Day after receipt by
the Trustee of such notice, the Trustee shall send to all Owners by first class mail, postage prepaid, and to
the Depository also by facsimile, a notice which shall contain the following information: (1) that an event
of default has been declared under the Reimbursement Agreement, or that the Credit Entity will not
reinstate the interest portion of the Credit Facility, and (2) that each Owner’s Bond is subject to
mandatory tender on the first Business Day to occur on the seventh day following the receipt by the
Trustee of such notice from the Credit Entity. See “THE LETTER OF CREDIT AND THE
REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT” for a description of the Events of Default which could cause a
mandatory tender under the Letter of Credit and the Reimbursement Agreement.

11
The Bonds are subject to mandatory tender on the last Business Day prior to the effective date of
any Alternate Credit Facility in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture.

All notices of a Mandatory Tender Date will also be mailed by the Trustee to the Credit Entity,
the Remarketing Agent and the Tender Agent.

Mechanics of Mandatory Tender

Owners of Bonds will be required to tender the Bonds to the Tender Agent by 11:00 a.m., New
York time, on the Mandatory Tender Date for purchase at a purchase price equal to the principal amount
thereof plus accrued interest thereon to and including the Mandatory Tender Date. So long as the Bonds
are registered in the name of the Nominee, such tenders shall be made through the book-entry system.
Any Untendered Bonds will be deemed to have been tendered. In the event of a failure by Owners of
Bonds to tender Bonds on the Mandatory Tender Date, said Owners of Untendered Bonds will not be
entitled to any payment (including any interest to accrue subsequent to the Mandatory Tender Date) other
than the purchase price for such Untendered Bonds, and any Untendered Bonds will no longer be entitled
to the benefits of the Indenture, except for the purpose of payment of the purchase price thereof. Such
Untendered Bonds will be deemed purchased, canceled and no longer Outstanding under the Indenture.
However, the purchase price will be paid only upon presentation of the Bonds to the Tender Agent.

In the case of the Fixed Rate Conversion Date only, if the Remarketing Agent notifies the Trustee
not less than fifteen days before the Fixed Rate Conversion Date that it cannot remarket all of the Bonds
or if the requirements for the effectiveness of a Fixed Rate Conversion Date are not satisfied before the
Fixed Rate Conversion Date, the Trustee will give notice thereof by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to
all Owners, the Remarketing Agent, the Credit Entity and the City and each of such parties will be
restored to their respective positions as if notice of the Fixed Rate Conversion Date had not been given
and no mandatory tender will occur. In addition to the mailed notice required by the preceding sentence,
the Trustee will deliver a duplicate copy of such notice to the Depository and the Credit Entity by
telecommunications or overnight delivery.

Option to Tender Prior to Fixed Rate Conversion Date

Prior to the Fixed Rate Conversion Date, any Owner of the Bonds may give irrevocable written
notice to the Tender Agent at its Principal Office and request that the Tender Agent purchase all or any
part (in Authorized Denominations) of the Bonds then outstanding and registered in the name of such
Owner at an amount or price equal to the unpaid principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid
interest thereon to, but not including, the Business Day on which the Bonds are to be tendered to the
Tender Agent (the “Optional Tender Date”) and without premium. Such notice (the “Optional Tender
Notice”) will specify the Optional Tender Date (which, during a Weekly Rate Period, shall not be less
than seven (7) days after the date of receipt by the Tender Agent of such Optional Tender Notice, and
during a Daily Rate Period, shall be the date of receipt of the Optional Tender Notice by the Tender
Agent, provided with respect to a tender during a Daily Rate Period, the Optional Tender Notice shall be
received by the Tender Agency prior to 9:30 a.m., New York time, on the Optional Tender Date), the
CUSIP number, the principal amount being tendered in integral multiples of Authorized Denominations
and, so long as the Bonds are registered in the name of the Nominee, such notice shall also specify the
Participant number and the contact person of the Participant. Upon receipt of an Optional Tender Notice,
the Tender Agent will, as soon as is practicable but in no event later than the close of business on the
Business Day following the day of receipt of such Optional Tender Notice, give notice to the Trustee, the
Authority, the Credit Entity and the Remarketing Agent of the Optional Tender Notice, the Optional
Tender Date specified therein and the principal amount of Bonds to be purchased on such Optional
Tender Date.

12
Owners providing an Optional Tender Notice will be required to tender the Bonds to the Tender
Agent for purchase by 11:00 a.m., New York time, on the Optional Tender Date. In the event of a failure
by Owners of Bonds to tender Bonds on the Optional Tender Date, said Owners of Bonds will not be
entitled to any payment (including any interest to accrue subsequent to the Optional Tender Date) other
than the purchase price for such Untendered Bonds, and any Untendered Bonds will no longer be entitled
to the benefits of the Indenture, except for the purpose of payment of the purchase price thereof.
However, the purchase price will be paid only upon presentment of the Bonds to the Tender Agent. Upon
the cancellation of Untendered Bonds, the Trustee will execute new Bonds in the same aggregate
principal amount as, and in substitution for, the Bonds not so tendered by such Owner and will hold,
deliver and make available such new Bonds to the new Owner thereof in accordance with the provisions
of the Indenture which will be fully applicable notwithstanding that such new Bonds are executed in
substitution for the Bonds not so tendered.

From and after the Fixed Rate Conversion Date, the Tender Agent will not be required to
purchase such Bonds on demand and optional tender by the Owners thereof in accordance with the
provisions set forth under this heading.

Purchase of Bonds Delivered On a Tender Date

Bonds purchased from Owners on any Tender Date will be purchased at a price equal to the
principal amount thereof plus accrued interest, if any, to the Tender Date in immediately available funds,
but solely from the following sources of funds in the following order of priority:

(1) moneys deposited into the Remarketing Proceeds Account, other than moneys
representing remarketing proceeds from the sale of Bonds to the Authority or the City, in
accordance with the Indenture;

(2) moneys deposited into the Liquidity Account in accordance with the Indenture;

(3) other Available Moneys (as described in the Indenture) furnished to the Trustee; and

(4) other moneys made available to the Trustee for such purpose from the Authority or the
City.

The Tender Agent or Trustee, as applicable, will promptly give notice to the Credit Entity, the
Remarketing Agent, the Tender Agent, the Trustee and the City of any notice given by or to an Owner
pursuant to certain provisions of the Indenture.

No later than 11:00 a.m. New York time on the Business Day next preceding each Tender Date,
the Remarketing Agent will give telex or telephonic notice, promptly confirmed in writing, to the Tender
Agent and the Trustee and specifying the amount of the proceeds of the sale of such Bonds, if any, sold
by the Remarketing Agent pursuant to the Indenture and the name, address and tax identification number
of the purchasers thereof as well as the denominations of such remarketed Bonds.

The purchase price of any Bonds tendered for purchase will be payable by check mailed to the
Owners of record as of the close of business on the day next preceding the Tender Date; provided,
however, that the purchase price of such tendered Bonds for purchase may, at the option of any Owner, be
transferred to such Owner by wire transfer on the Tender Date if prior to such Tender Date such Owner
has delivered to the Tender Agent a request in writing for such wire transfer specifying the bank account
number to which such transfer is to be made.

13
On the Business Day next preceding each Tender Date, the Trustee shall draw on the Credit
Facility and shall deposit the amount of such draw in the Liquidity Account to pay for the purchase price
of any Bonds that cannot be paid from remarketing proceeds in the Remarketing Proceeds Account. In
the event that the Trustee has not received notice from the Remarketing Agent as to the availability of
remarketing proceeds prior to the time of its draw on the Credit Facility on the Business Day next
preceding each Tender Date, the Trustee shall draw on the Credit Facility to pay the purchase price of all
Bonds tendered for purchase on such Tender Date. The Tender Agent shall pay, to the extent that it has
received funds therefor, the purchase price of such tendered Bonds, plus accrued interest, if any, no later
than 5:00 p.m., New York time, on any Optional Tender Date or Mandatory Tender Date.

Remarketing of Bonds by Remarketing Agent

Subject to the terms of the Remarketing Agreement, the Remarketing Agent will use its best
efforts to remarket Bonds subject to purchase on a Tender Date and to remarket Bonds registered in the
name of the Credit Entity. The proceeds of any sale with respect to a Tender Date will be delivered to the
Tender Agent for deposit into the Remarketing Proceeds Account by no later than 11:00 a.m., New York
time, on the Business Day prior to each Tender Date. The proceeds of the sale of any Bonds registered to
or on behalf of the Credit Entity will be delivered to the Tender Agent for deposit in the Remarketing
Proceeds Account by 11:00 a.m., New York time, on the date of sale and the Tender Agent will remit
such amounts to the Credit Entity no later than 4:00 p.m., New York time, on such date.

In the event that any Bonds are purchased for the benefit of the Credit Entity pursuant to the
Indenture, the Remarketing Agent will continue to offer for sale and use its best efforts to sell such
Bonds. So long as the Credit Facility is in effect, prior to the release of any Credit Facility Bonds or the
remarketing of any Bonds purchased following the mandatory tender thereof pursuant to the Indenture,
the Tender Agent shall have received written notice from the Credit Entity that the Letter of Credit has
been reinstated or an Alternate Credit Facility has been delivered in an amount equal to the principal
amount of the Credit Facility Bonds and interest thereon in accordance with its terms.

Delivery of Bonds

Bonds remarketed by the Remarketing Agent pursuant to the Indenture will be delivered to the
Remarketing Agent, and registered in the name, or at the direction, of the respective purchasers.

Bonds purchased with moneys drawn under the Letter of Credit will be registered in the name, or
at the direction, of the Credit Entity or its nominee and delivered to and held by the Tender Agent for the
account of such Credit Entity, as secured party, unless the Credit Entity will make other arrangements
with the Tender’ Agent. The Tender Agent will notify the Remarketing Agent when Bonds are registered
to or on behalf of the Credit Entity and the Remarketing Agent will remarket such Bonds in accordance
with the Indenture.

Bonds purchased with Available Moneys will be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

Moneys in the Liquidity Account and the Remarketing Proceeds Account will be held in trust for
the persons who delivered such Bonds for purchase. Following payment to persons who delivered such
Bonds for purchase, to the extent that any fees or obligations are owed to the Trustee or the Credit Entity,
moneys remaining in the Remarketing Proceeds Account and the Liquidity Account will be paid by the
Tender Agent first to the Credit Entity for the repayment of amounts owing under the Reimbursement
Agreement as certified to the Tender Agent in writing by the Credit Entity and then to the Trustee to the
extent of fees and obligations owing thereto. Money remaining in such Accounts following such
payments will be paid to the City.

14
Payment of Bonds After Discharge of Indenture

In any event any Bond shall not be presented for payment when the principal with respect thereof
becomes due, either at maturity, or at the date fixed for redemption thereof, if moneys sufficient to pay
such Bond shall have been deposited in the Credit Facility Account or if Available Moneys sufficient to
pay such Bond shall have been deposited in the Lease Payment Account, all liability of the Authority to
the Owner thereof for payment of such Bond shall forthwith cease, terminate and be completely
discharged, and thereupon it shall be the duty of the Trustee to hold such moneys, without liability for
interest thereon, for the benefit of the Owner of such Bond who shall thereafter be restricted exclusively
to such moneys, for any claim of whatever nature on his or her part under this Indenture or on, or with
respect to, said Bond.

Any moneys so deposited with and held by the Trustee not so applied to the payment of Bonds
within two (2) years after the date on which the same were deposited with the Trustee due shall be paid by
the Trustee to the City. Thereafter, Owners shall be entitled to look only to the City for payment, and
then only to the extent of the amount so disbursed by the Trustee. The City shall not be liable for any
interest on the sums paid to it pursuant to this section and shall not be regarded as a trustee or trustees of
such money. Any such moneys held shall be held uninvested.

Book-Entry Only System

The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York (“DTC”), will act as securities depository
for the Bonds. The Bonds will be registered in the name of Cede & Co. (DTC’s partnership nominee),
and will be available to ultimate purchasers in the denomination of $5,000 or any integral multiple
thereof, under the book-entry system maintained by DTC. Ultimate purchasers of Bonds will not receive

SECURITY FOR THE BONDS

Revenues

THE BONDS ARE SPECIAL LIMITED OBLIGATIONS OF THE AUTHORITY PAYABLE


SOLELY FROM REVENUES, CONSISTING PRIMARILY OF BASE RENTAL PAYMENTS PAID
BY THE CITY PURSUANT TO THE LEASE AND AMOUNTS HELD IN THE FUNDS AND
ACCOUNTS ESTABLISHED UNDER THE INDENTURE. THE OBLIGATION OF THE CITY TO
MAKE BASE RENTAL PAYMENTS DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN OBLIGATION FOR WHICH
THE CITY IS OBLIGATED TO LEVY OR PLEDGE ANY FORM OF TAXATION OR FOR WHICH
THE CITY HAS LEVIED OR PLEDGED ANY FORM OF TAXATION. THE OBLIGATION OF THE
CITY TO MAKE BASE RENTAL PAYMENTS DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN INDEBTEDNESS OF
THE CITY, THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA OR ANY OF ITS POLITICAL SUBDIVISIONS WITHIN
THE MEANING OF ANY CONSTITUTIONAL OR STATUTORY DEBT LIMITATION OR
RESTRICTION.

The Indenture provides that, subject to certain rights of the Trustee, the Bonds are secured by a
first lien on and pledge of all of the Revenues and a pledge of moneys in all Funds and Accounts

15
established and held by the Trustee under the Indenture including the investments thereof and the
proceeds of such investments. “Revenues” are defined in the Indenture to mean: (i) all Base Rental
Payments payable by the City pursuant to the Lease (including prepayments), (ii) any proceeds of Bonds
originally deposited with the Trustee and all moneys on deposit in the funds and accounts established
under the Indenture, (iii) investment income with respect to such moneys held by the Trustee and (iv) any
insurance proceeds or condemnation awards received by or payable to the Trustee relating to the Base
Rental Payments, including rental interruption insurance.

Base Rental Payments

As security for the Bonds, the Authority will assign to the Trustee for the payment of the Bonds
certain rights of the Authority in the Lease, including the right to receive the Base Rental Payments to be
made by the City. Under the Lease, the City agrees to make Base Rental Payments for the beneficial use
and occupancy of the Leased Property, and to take such action as is necessary to budget for and to
appropriate such amounts. See “APPENDIX C – SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL LEGAL DOCUMENTS
– The Lease.”

The Base Rental Payments are equal to the principal of and interest on the Bonds, and are payable
on the twenty-fifth day of the month immediately preceding each Bond Payment Date. The Base Rental
Payments will be paid by the City to the Trustee for the benefit of the Owners of the Bonds.

The City’s obligation to make Base Rental Payments is subject to abatement in the event of
substantial interference with the use and possession of all or a part of the Leased Property. See “RISK
FACTORS – Abatement.”

Reserve Fund

In order to further secure the payment of principal of and interest on the Bonds, the Trustee is
required to set aside under the Indenture and deposit in the Reserve Fund for the Bonds (the “Reserve
Fund”) an amount sufficient to maintain the Reserve Requirement on deposit in the Reserve Fund. The
Reserve Requirement means, as of the date of calculation thereof, the least of (i) the maximum aggregate
annual Base Rental payments payable during the then-current or any remaining Bond Year during which
the Bonds are to remain Outstanding by their terms, (ii) 125% of the average annual aggregate Base
Rental payments payable for the then-current and any remaining Bond Years during which the Bonds are
to remain Outstanding by their terms, or (iii) ten percent (10%) of the proceeds derived from the sale of
the Bonds, with all such calculations assuming, during any period while the Bonds bear interest at a
Weekly Rate or a Daily Rate, the greater of (a) the average interest rate per annum borne by the Bonds
during the preceding twelve-month period, or (b) an average 4.5% per annum interest rate borne by the
Bonds; and provided, however, that during any period when the Bonds bear interest at a Fixed Rate, such
calculation shall be based on the actual rate or rates of interest. Following the date of delivery of the
Bonds, and at the instruction of the Authority, the Trustee shall recalculate the Reserve Requirement
under clauses (i) or (ii) above, whichever is less, and shall transfer any amounts in excess of the Reserve
Requirement in accordance with the Indenture.

Insurance

The Lease requires the City to maintain insurance coverage on the Leased Property, consisting of
the following:

(1) insurance against loss or damage to the Leased Property or such structure or item
of furniture or equipment caused by fire or lightning, with an extended coverage endorsement and
vandalism and malicious mischief insurance, which such extended coverage insurance shall, as

16
nearly as practicable, cover loss or damage by explosion, windstorm, riot, aircraft, vehicle
damage, smoke and such other hazards as are normally covered by such insurance. The insurance
required by this paragraph shall be in an amount equal to the replacement cost (without deduction
for depreciation) of improvements located or to be located on the Leased Property but shall be not
less than the principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds (except that such insurance may be
subject to deductible clauses of not to exceed ten percent (10%) of the amount of any one loss);

(2) rental interruption insurance against the Authority’s loss of income due to events
giving rise to the right of abatement on the part of the City under the Lease in an amount
sufficient to pay the total Base Rental payments attributable to the Leased Property for a 24
month period (measured by the Base Rental payments for the 24 months following the month in
which the insurance commences and assuming for such purpose that Interest Components will be
payable at a fixed rate of 12% per annum or such lesser amount as may be agreed upon by the
Credit Entity); provided, that the amount of such insurance need not exceed the total remaining
Base Rental payments attributable to the Leased Property;

(3) workers’ compensation insurance covering all employees working in or on the


Leased Property, in the same amount and type as other workers’ compensation insurance
maintained by the City for similar employees doing similar work; and the City shall also require
any other person or entity working in or on the Leased Property to carry the foregoing amount of
workers’ compensation insurance;

(4) a standard comprehensive public entity liability insurance policy or policies in


protection of the City, the Authority, and their respective directors, officers and employees and
the Trustee, indemnifying and defending such parties against all direct or contingent loss or
liability for damages for personal injury, death or property damage occasioned by reason of the
possession, operation or use of the Leased Property. Such public liability and property damage
insurance shall be in the form of a single limit policy in the amount of not less than three million
dollars ($3,000,000), subject to a deductible clause of not to exceed $250,000, covering all such
risks; and

(5) a CLTA standard coverage leasehold policy of title insurance on the Leased
Property in an amount at least equal to the initial aggregate amount of the principal amount of
Base Rental payments issued by a company of recognized standing duly authorized to issue the
same. The title policy or policies shall insure the City’s leasehold estate hereunder with respect
to the Leased Property, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lease does not require the City to maintain more insurance
than is specifically referred to above or any policies of insurance other than standard policies of insurance
with standard deductibles offered by reputable insurers at a reasonable cost on the open market.
Furthermore, as an alternative to providing the insurance required by paragraphs (1), (3) and (4) above,
with the prior written consent of the Credit Entity, the City may provide a self-insurance method or plan
or protection. See “APPENDIX C – SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL LEGAL DOCUMENTS – The Lease
– Insurance.”

Additional Obligations

Other than refunding bonds, the Authority may not issue bonds, notes or indebtedness that are
payable out of Revenues in whole or in part. See “APPENDIX C – SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL
LEGAL DOCUMENTS – The Indenture – Additional Obligations.”

17
However, the City may incur additional lease or other obligations payable from the City’s general
fund without the consent of or notice to the Owners of the Bonds. See “RISK FACTORS – Base Rental
Payments Not Debt.”

irrevocably authorize the Trustee to draw on the Credit Entity by sight drafts in an aggregate amount not
exceeding $84,706,388 (as increased, reduced or reinstated from time to time in accordance with the
provisions thereof, the “Stated Amount”) of which an amount not exceeding $83,770,000 (as reduced or

THE PROJECT

Victorville Municipal Utility Services (“VMUS”) was formed on January 9, 2001 by City
Council as a new department of the City. VMUS’s primary purpose is to assist existing businesses in the
City and to attract new businesses by offering lower energy costs. VMUS has 16 employees; two senior
staff, four administrative and ten operations & maintenance personnel. VMUS currently has
approximately 100 gas customers and approximately 10 electric customers.

In furtherance of the VMUS’s goals of providing lower energy costs to businesses in the City as
part of the City’s economic development plans, VMUS is currently undertaking the construction of a
cogeneration power plant and related facilities (the “Project”) in the Foxborough Industrial Park, a 272
acre industrial park located in a redevelopment area on the eastern side of the City, which is owned by the
City.

The City awarded a contract for construction of the Project to The Industrial Company on March
1, 2005 and began construction of the Project. The Project is designed to serve as the City of
Victorville’s “off-grid” facility providing the steam and electrical power requirements of the first two
Foxborough Industrial Park customers, Nutro Pet Foods and Americold cold storage facility and future
industrial park customers. The Project was originally designed to provide approximately 17.5 megawatts
(MW) of combined-cycle electricity with sufficient steam to exceed Nutro Pet Foods process
requirements of 11,000 pounds-per-hour (pph) with peaks to 14,000 pph, as well as provide enough steam
to power a 5 MW steam turbine generator.

Nutro Pet Foods, has expanded its facility with completion of a third extruder line which is
expected to be operational by June 2007. Nutro Pet Food’s energy requirements are expected to grow
from 4.1 million kilowatt hours (m/kWh) per month (peaking to 4.75 m/kWh) to 5.2 million kilowatt
hours per month (peaking to 6 m/kWh). Steam requirements will also increase to 16,500 pph with peaks
of 21,000 pph. Nutro Pet Food’s additional line requires that the Project also expand beyond the initial
17.5 MW capacity to an approximate 22.5 MW capacity, in addition to enhanced steam production, to
meet the increased energy requirements of this customer. The expansion project includes the design,
procurement, installation and commissioning of one 5,500 KW gas-fired combustion turbine engine
generator; one fresh-air fired heat recovery steam generator, one fuel gas compressor, a step-up
transformer, paralleling breaker, cooling tower, high resistance grounding system, protective relays and
modification of motor control centers. The main plant building and fuel gas compressor buildings is
being expanded as necessary and additions/modifications to the Plant Control System, CEMS and
instrumentation, necessary mechanical, electrical and balance of plant equipment and systems will also be
completed. In anticipation of the increased needs of its customers and this expansion, the City purchased
certain additional large equipment items (turbines & HRSG) at the same cost as similar previously
purchased items using Power Producers Index as an annual escalator, avoiding additional cost increases
imposed by the manufacturer. The Project including the expansion is expected to be completed and
operational by December 2008.

In order for VMUS to meet its contractual requirements to supply electricity and steam to Nutro
and Americold while the Project is under construction, VMUS leased and purchased a combination of
assets to be used as an interim temporary generating facility. VMUS owned assets include two packaged
boiler plants for steam, two 1.25 MW gas engine/genset packages & emissions systems and other assets
of plant support (switchgear, fuel and reagent storage/delivery systems). Leased assets include two (2) 2
MW and two (2) 0.8 MW rental gensets. This interim solution is capable of supplying the current power
demands for the two customers.

Approximately $8.5 million of the Bonds is allocated for further improvements to the Project.
The improvements include four 1.9MW Bio-Bi-Fuel reciprocating engine/generators and one 2.8MW

24
natural gas engine/generator cogeneration system being placed in a new building addition to the power
plant. These items will replace all leased assets described above and will relieve other VMUS-owned
assets to be reassigned to service elsewhere. This 10.4 MW system is designed to serve the loads of
current projected Foxborough Industrial Park (Nutro Pet Foods & ConAgra) customers in the most
efficient manner possible, significantly reducing costs to VMUS and providing added reliability for this
“off grid” islanded utility plant. This plant expansion also includes the design and capability of the
Project to utilize biofuels to generate “green power” such that the facility will meet the California
Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) being imposed on all utilities by the State by 2010. The Project will
also generate excess “green power” which VMUS will be able to sell to other utilities at significant
margins, to enable those utilities to meet the new State minimum “green power” generation guidelines.
Completion of this component of the Project is expected to be in December 2007 and will be functional
prior to the completion of the Project as described above.

Current total customer electric load at the Project is 2,000 megawatt hrs/mo., but expectations are
that this will increase in the next 100 days to close to 3,000 megawatt hrs/mo. due to the commencement
of operations at the third line at Nutro Pet Foods.

CITY FINANCIAL INFORMATION

General

The City of Victorville is located in San Bernardino County approximately 97 miles northeast of
Los Angeles and 35 miles northeast of San Bernardino. The City, incorporated on September 21, 1962,
has a 2006 population of approximately 95,145 according to the California State Department of Finance.
See “APPENDIX A – CERTAIN ECONOMIC AND DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION
CONCERNING THE CITY OF VICTORVILLE” for additional information relating to the City.

Budgetary Process

The fiscal year of the City begins on the first day of July of each year and ends on the thirtieth
day of June of the following year. The City Manager and City staff review estimates of revenues and
expenditures for each department for the ensuing fiscal year. At least thirty (30) days prior to the
beginning of each fiscal year, the City Manager submits to the Council the proposed budget. After
reviewing and making such revisions as it deems advisable, the City Council determines the time for the
holding of a public meeting thereon.

25
At the conclusion of the public meeting, the City Council further considers the proposed budget
and makes any revision thereof that it deems advisable. On or before June 30 it adopts the budget with
revisions, if any, by the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the total members of the City Council.

From the effective date of the budget, the amounts stated as proposed expenditures become
appropriated to the several departments, offices and agencies for the objects and purposes named,
provided that the City Manager may transfer the appropriations from one object or purpose to another
within the divisional budget. All appropriations lapse at the end of the fiscal year to the extent that they
have not been expended or lawfully encumbered.

The City Council employs, at the beginning of each fiscal year, an independent certified public
accountant who, at such time or times as specified by the City Council, and at such other times as it shall
determine, examines the books, records, inventories and reports of all officers and employees who
receive, control, handle or disburse public funds and of all such other officers, employees or departments
as the City Council may direct. As soon as practicable after the end of the fiscal year, a final audit and
report is submitted by such accountant to the City Council and a copy of the financial statements as of the
close of the fiscal year is published.

Financial Statements

A copy of the most recent financial statements of the City audited by Conrad and Associates,
L.L.P. (the “Auditor”) are included hereto as “APPENDIX B – AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
OF THE CITY FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2006.” The Auditor’s letter concludes that
the general purpose financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
the City as of June 30, 2005 and the results of its operations and the cash flows of its proprietary fund
types for the year then ended in conformity with account principals generally accepted in the United
States of America. The City has not requested nor did the City obtain permission from the Auditor to
include the audited financial statements as an appendix to this Official Statement. Accordingly, the
Auditor has not performed any post-audit work on the financial statements.

State of California Motor Vehicle In-Lieu Payments

The State imposes a vehicle license fee (the “VLF”), which is the portion of the fees paid in lieu
of personal property taxes on a vehicle and is included in intergovernmental revenue received by the City.
The VLF is based on vehicle value (in the amount of two percent of the market value of the vehicle) and
declines as the vehicle ages. The State allocates the revenues equally between cities and counties,
apportioned based on population. In 1998, the State legislature and Governor enacted temporary laws to
reduce the VLF by 25%. In 2000, the reduction was increased to a total of 35%. In 2001, legislation
authorized the Department of Motor Vehicles and the State Controller to rebate an additional 32.5% of
the VLF (a total of 67.5%). In 2003, the State triggered an increase in the VLF to be effective beginning
October 1, 2003 but deferred payment to local agencies until August, 2006 the amount of the VLF
backfill for the period from June 20, 2003 to September 30, 2003, when the higher VLF went into effect.
This VLF “gap up” or “loan” is estimated at approximately $1.3 billion statewide. (The City’s share is
$1.2 million for fiscal year 2003-04.) The 2004-05 State Budget includes a reduction in VLF from 2% to
0.65% and eliminates the VLF backfill. Instead, cities and counties, including the City, will receive
increased property tax revenues to compensate for the reduction in VLF. However, in fiscal years 2004-
05 and 2005-06, each category of cities, counties and special districts will give up $350 million of such
property tax revenues, with redevelopment agencies contributing $250 million, for a total of $1.3 billion.
The City estimates its General Fund share of such concession will be approximately $731,103 for fiscal
years 2004-05 and 2005-06. See “Impact of State Budget” below.

Impact of State Budget

The State has been experiencing serious budgetary shortfalls for the past three fiscal years, and it
is currently projected to experience budgetary shortfalls in the current fiscal year. The State General
Fund Budgets for fiscal year 2002-03 and fiscal year 2003-04 were both adopted over two months late,
and required the Legislature to close multi-billion dollar deficits. The State’s 2003-04 budget, in addition
to suspending, deferring or eliminating certain State mandated local programs, reduced the vehicle license
fee backfill to cities and counties by approximately $662 million. However, Assembly Bill 1768 was
subsequently adopted by the Legislature, and required the State to repay this transferred amount of
vehicle license fees by August 15, 2006.

Budgets for Fiscal Years 2006-07 and 2007-08

On June 30, 2006, the Governor signed into law AB 1801 (as amended), the State’s fiscal year
2006-07 budget bill. The California Department of Finance has posted a report providing highlights to
the enacted State budget (the “Budget Highlight Report”) on its website. According to the Budget
Highlight Report, in fiscal year 2006-07, the State general fund revenues are expected to be
approximately $103.4 billion, and general fund expenditures are expected to be $101.3 billion after taking
into account the prior year’s general fund balance. The following is an excerpt from the Budget Highlight
Report pertaining to the provisions of the fiscal year 2006-07 State budget which impact local
government funds:

“The 2006 Budget Act includes more than $2.1 billion in funding growth for local
governments over the 2005-06 Budget. This includes $1.3 billion in property tax
revenues that local governments are no longer required to shift to the ERAF pursuant to
the provisions of Proposition 1A, $417 million for transit, $175 million for local street
and road maintenance, $145 million for substance abuse treatment programs, $35 million
for county jail booking fee subventions, $38 million for various juvenile justice and local
law enforcement activities, and $1.6 million in disaster relief funds.

Additionally, while not reflected in state budget totals, the replacement of city and county
vehicle license fee revenues with property tax has resulted in $700 million in growth of

32
these new local revenues compared to what they would have been in 2006-07, had this
revenue swap not occurred.”

On January 10, 2007, the Governor’s Proposed Budget for fiscal year 2007-08 was submitted.
The Governor’s Revised Budget will be available in mid-May 2007. The California Department of
Finance has posted a summary of the State budget for 2007-08 on its website (the “Proposed Budget
Summary”). According to the Proposed Budget Summary, in fiscal year 2007-08, the State general fund
revenues are expected to be approximately $101.3 billion, and general fund expenditures are expected to
be $103.1 billion. The following is an excerpt from the Proposed Budget Summary pertaining to the
provisions of the proposed fiscal year 2007-08 State budget which will impact local government funds:

“The economic outlook is generally positive for all regions of the state, and local
revenues are expected to show continued growth. Due to the termination of ERAF III
payments in 2006-07, the share of the property tax going to local governments has
increased to approximately 63 percent.

Property tax revenues are expected to increase almost 12 percent in 2006-07, and by
almost 10 percent in 2007-08. The projected growth rates translate to an additional $2.5
billion for local governments in 2007-08, thereby increasing their total property tax
revenues to approximately $29.7 billion.

The sales tax, local governments’ other major source of discretionary revenue, also is
expected to show modest growth in 2007-08. The sales tax should provide over $4.4
billion for discretionary purposes, in addition to $3 billion for public safety, $3 billion for
health programs, and $1.5 billion for county transportation purposes. Vehicle license
fees, which provide partial funding for local health programs and discretionary revenue
for cities, were up 4.5 percent in 2005-06 and are expected to show gains of four percent
and 3.9 percent over the next two years.

The recently passed Proposition 1B provides $19.9 billion in bond funds for
transportation projects, of which approximately $7.1 billion will go to local governments
for their transportation infrastructure needs.”

City Investment Policy

The City’s investment policy is to minimize credit and market risks while maintaining a
competitive yield on its portfolio. Accordingly, the majority of City deposits are either insured by federal
depository insurance or collateralized. Nearly all investments held by the City at June 30, 2006 were
classified in the category of lowest custodial credit risk as defined by the Government Accounting
Standard Board. The basic objectives of the City’s investment program are: safety, liquidity and yield.
Under provision of the City’s investment policy, and in accordance with Section 53601 of the California
Government Code, the City may invest in:

33
• Securities of the U.S. Government or its agencies
• U.S. Treasury notes/bonds
• Negotiable certificate of deposits – (30% max)
• Banker’s acceptances – (30% max)
• Commercial paper – (15% max)
• Local Agency Investment Fund (state pool) deposits – a special fund of the California
State Treasury through which local governments may pool investments.
• Money Market Accounts – (20% max)
• Medium Term Corporate Notes – (30% max)
• Certificates of Deposits – (25% max)

It is the intent of the City to hold all investments until maturity or until market value equals or
exceeds cost.

The City Treasurer is charged with the responsibility of custody and investment of surplus City
funds. The City Treasurer is required to submit a quarterly investment report to the City Council that
provides a summary of the status of the current investment portfolio and material transactions entered into
during the quarter.

Source: City of Victorville.

The City has never experienced a work stoppage by its employees. The City currently has a
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City and the Victorville Professional Firefighters.
This MOU will terminate on June 30, 2008. The City currently does not have a MOU with the
miscellaneous employees.

Defined Benefit Pension Plan

The City has contracted with the California Public Employees Retirement System (“PERS”) to
provide retirement, disability, death and survivor benefits for all eligible full and part-time City
employees. The City’s contribution to the system based on actuarially determined requirements was
$3,466,449 for Fiscal Year 2005-06.

For the three Fiscal Years ended June 30, 2004, 2005 and 2006, the total contribution to PERS
was $2,058,266, $4,138,915 and $5,527,233, respectively. The total contribution paid by the City
included employer contributions as well as member contributions for which the City is contractually
obligated to pay on behalf of its employees. According to an actuarial valuation report prepared by
PERS, as of June 30, 2004, the City had unfunded liability for safety contributions in the amount of
$4,425,782. As of June 30, 2005, the City had unfunded liability for miscellaneous contributions in the
amount of $6,564,784.

Other Post-Employment Benefits

Employees who retire from the City are eligible to receive health care benefits covering such
employees only and not their dependants. The City pays, based on years of service, a percentage of all
premiums charged under a health benefit plan administered by the Public Employee’s Retirement System
(PERS) in which the individuals are able to select, on an annual basis, an insurance carrier from a number
of insurance carriers. Expenditures for post-retirement health care benefits for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2006 amounted to $41,892, which included 20 participants.

Insurance

The City is a member of the Public Entity Risk Management Authority (PERMA), formerly
Coachella Valley Joint Powers Insurance Authority (CVJPIA), a joint powers authority formed under

36
Section 990 of the California Government Code for the purpose of jointly funding programs of insurance
coverage for its members. PERMA is comprised of twenty-six participating member agencies. The City
participates in the liability and worker’s compensation insurance programs of PERMA.

The liability program provides coverage up to $40,000,000 per occurrence for personal injury,
bodily injury, property damage and public officials’ errors and omissions.

Effective July 1, 1996, the PERMA restructured its pooling arrangement by establishing risk
sharing pools with various attachment points and discontinuing the deductible program. Each member
selects a self-insured retention of either $0, $10,000, $25,000, $50,000, $125,000, $250,000 or $500,000,
and participates in risk sharing pools for coverage above its retention. PERMA maintains member equity
accounts for each pool member. Member liability deposit premiums are subject to retrospective rating
adjustments.

For Fiscal Year 2006-07, the City has selected a self-insurance retention of $50,000. The City
participates in risk sharing pools for losses up to $1,000,000, followed by excess coverage up to
$25,000,000 provided by the California Joint Powers Risk Management Authority.

The workers’ compensation program provides statutory benefits for employee injuries arising out
of and in the course of employment.

The workers’ compensation coverage is provided through a banking pool, risk sharing pool, and
an insurance purchasing pool. As an insurance purchasing pool, the program allows participating
members to obtain the economies of scale in securing excess workers’ compensation coverage. The City
self-insures up to a level of $250,000 per accident or employee within the banking pool. A risk sharing
pool through PERMA provides the coverage above $250,000 up to $500,000. Excess coverage above
$500,000 up to $2,000,000 is provided by the Local Agency Workers’ Compensation Excess JPA and
coverage above $2,000,000 up to $100,000,00 is provided by the California Public Entity Insurance
Authority.

RISK FACTORS

The following factors, along with the other information in this Official Statement, should be
considered by potential investors in evaluating any purchase of the Bonds. The following is not an
exhaustive listing of risks and other considerations which may be relevant to an investment in the Bonds.
In addition, the order in which the following factors are presented is not intended to reflect the relative
importance of any such risks.

Substitution of Property

The Lease permits the City to substitute other premises for the Leased Property or portions
thereof under the Lease, provided that the fair market value and the fair rental value of the substitute
premises are at least equal to such portion of the Leased Property to be removed from the Lease, and
provided certain other criteria are met. See “APPENDIX C – SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL LEGAL
DOCUMENTS – The Lease – Substitution of Property.”

Base Rental Payments Not Debt

The obligation of the City to make the Base Rental Payments does not constitute an obligation of
the City for which the City is obligated to levy or pledge any form of taxation or for which the City has
levied or pledged any form of taxation. Neither the Bonds nor the obligation of the City to make Base
Rental Payments constitute a debt of the City, the State of California or any political subdivision thereof

37
(other than the Authority) within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory debt limitation or
restriction.

The Bonds are not general obligations of the Authority, but are limited obligations payable solely
from and secured by a pledge of Revenues, consisting primarily of Base Rental Payments. The Authority
has no taxing power.

Although the Lease does not create a pledge, lien or encumbrance upon the funds of the City, the
City is obligated under the Lease to pay the Base Rental Payments from any source of legally available
funds and the City has covenanted in the Lease that, for so long as the Leased Property is available for its
use, it will make the necessary annual appropriations within its budget for the Base Rental Payments. The
City is currently liable and may become liable on other obligations payable from general revenues, some
of which may have a priority over the Base Rental Payments.

The City has the capacity to enter into other obligations payable from the City’s general fund,
without the consent of or prior notice to the Owners of the Bonds. To the extent that additional
obligations are incurred by the City, the funds available to make Base Rental Payments may be decreased.
In the event the City’s revenue sources are less than its total obligations, the City could choose to fund
other activities before making Base Rental Payments and other payments due under the Lease. The same
result could occur if state constitutional expenditure limitations were to prohibit the City from
appropriating and spending all of its otherwise available revenues.

Abatement

In the event of loss or substantial interference in the use and occupancy by the City of all or any
portion of the Leased Property caused by material damage, title defect, destruction to or condemnation of
the Leased Property, Base Rental Payments will be subject to abatement. In the event that such
component of the Leased Property, if damaged or destroyed by an insured casualty, could not be replaced
during the period of time that proceeds of the City’s rental interruption insurance will be available in lieu
of Base Rental Payments, or in the event that casualty insurance proceeds or condemnation proceeds are
insufficient to provide for complete repair or replacement of such component of the Leased Property or
prepayment of the Bonds, there could be insufficient funds to make payments to Owners in full.

Risk of Uninsured Loss

The City covenants under the Lease to maintain certain insurance policies on the Leased
Property. See “SECURITY FOR THE BONDS – Insurance.” These insurance policies do not cover all
types of risk. For instance, the City does not covenant to maintain earthquake insurance. The Leased
Property could be damaged or destroyed due to earthquake or other casualty for which the Leased
Property is uninsured. Additionally, the Leased Property could be the subject of an eminent domain
proceeding. Under these circumstances an abatement of Base Rental Payments could occur and could
continue indefinitely. There can be no assurance that the providers of the City’s liability and rental
interruption insurance will in all events be able or willing to make payments under the respective policies
for such loss should a claim be made under such policies. Further, there can be no assurances that
amounts received as proceeds from insurance or from condemnation of the Leased Property will be
sufficient to repair the Leased Property or to redeem the Bonds and any other obligations secured by Base
Rental Payments.

Certain of the City’s insurance policies provide for deductibles up to $1,000,000. Should the City
be required to meet such deductible expenses, the availability of General Fund revenues to make Base
Rental Payments may be correspondingly affected.

38
Seismic Risks

The State of California, including the San Bernardino County Area, is a seismically active region.
There are several geological faults in the area which have the potential to cause serious earthquakes and
damage to the Leased Property. Should an earthquake occur such that extensive damage is caused to the
Leased Property that results in substantial interference with the use and occupancy of the Leased
Property, under the abatement provisions of the Lease, the City would not be obligated to make the Base
Rental Payments. See “RISK FACTORS – Abatement” above.

Bankruptcy

The City is a unit of State government and therefore is not subject to the involuntary procedures
of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”). However, pursuant to Chapter 9 of the
Bankruptcy Code, the City may seek voluntary protection from its creditors for purposes of adjusting its
debts. In the event the City were to become a debtor under the Bankruptcy Code, the City would be
entitled to all of the protective provisions of the Bankruptcy Code as applicable in a Chapter 9
proceeding. Among the adverse effects of such a bankruptcy might be: (i) the application of the
automatic stay provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, which, until relief is granted, would prevent collection
of payments from the City or the commencement of any judicial or other action for the purpose of
recovering or collecting a claim against the City; (ii) the avoidance of preferential transfers occurring
during the relevant period prior to the filing of a bankruptcy petition; (iii) the existence of unsecured or
court-approved secured debt which may have a priority of payment superior to that of Owners of Bonds;
and (iv) the possibility of the adoption of a plan for the adjustment of the City’s debt (a “Plan”) without
the consent of the Trustee or all of the Owners of Bonds, which Plan may restructure, delay, compromise
or reduce the amount of any claim of the Owners if the Bankruptcy Court finds that the Plan is fair and
equitable.

In addition, the City could either reject the Lease or assume the Lease despite any provision of the
Lease which makes the bankruptcy or insolvency of the City an event of default thereunder. In the event
the City rejects the Lease, the Trustee, on behalf of the Owners of the Bonds, would have a pre-petition
claim that may be limited under the Bankruptcy Code and treated in a manner under a Plan over the
objections of the Trustee or Owners of the Bonds. Moreover, such rejection would terminate the Lease
and the City’s obligations to make payments thereunder.

The Authority is a public agency and, like the City, is not subject to the involuntary procedures of
the Bankruptcy Code. The Authority may also seek voluntary protection under Chapter 9 of the
Bankruptcy Code. In the event the Authority were to become a debtor under the Bankruptcy Code, the
Authority would be entitled to all of the protective provisions of the Bankruptcy Code as applicable in a
Chapter 9 proceeding. Such a bankruptcy could adversely affect the payments under the Indenture.
Among the adverse effects might be: (i) the application of the automatic stay provisions of the
Bankruptcy Code, which, until relief is granted, would prevent collection of payments from the Authority
or the commencement of any judicial or other action for the purpose of recovering or collecting a claim
against the Authority; (ii) the avoidance of preferential transfers occurring during the relevant period prior
to the filing of a bankruptcy petition; (iii) the existence of unsecured or court-approved secured debt
which may have priority of payment superior to that of the Owners of the Bonds; and (iv) the possibility
of the adoption of a plan for the adjustment of the Authority’s debt without the consent of the Trustee or
all of the Owners of the Bonds, which plan may restructure, delay, compromise or reduce the amount of
any claim of the Owners if the Bankruptcy Court finds that the Plan is fair and equitable. However, the
bankruptcy of the Authority, and not the City, should not affect the Trustee’s rights under the Lease. The
Authority could still challenge the assignment, and the Trustee and/or the Owners of the Bonds could be
required to litigate these issues in order to protect their interests.

39
Enforcement of Remedies Under the Lease

If the City defaults on its obligation to make Base Rental Payments with respect to the Leased
Property, the Authority’s only effective remedy is to sue for Base Rental Payments as they become due.
In the event of a default, there is no remedy of acceleration of the total Base Rental Payments due over
the term of the Lease. The City, while it is the lessee under the Lease, will only be liable for Base Rental
Payments on a semiannual basis, and the Authority would be required to seek a separate judgment for
each year’s defaulted Base Rental Payment. Any such suit for money damages would be subject to
limitations on legal remedies against cities in the State.

In addition, any exercise of remedies to recover shortfalls in the receipt of Base Rental Payments
will be subject to the parity claims of holders of any other parties entitled to receive Base Rental
Payments.

No Liability of Authority to the Owners

Except as expressly provided in the Indenture, the Authority will not have any obligation or
liability to the Owners of the Bonds with respect to the payment when due of the Base Rental Payments
by the City, or with respect to the performance by the City of other agreements and covenants required to
be performed by it contained in the Lease or the Indenture, or with respect to the performance by the
Trustee of any right or obligation required to be performed by it contained in the Indenture.

Risks Related to Taxation in California

Constitutional Amendments Affecting Tax Revenues. Article XIIIA of the California


Constitution limits the amounts of ad valorem tax on real property to 1% of “full cash value” as
determined by the county assessor. Article XIIIA defines “full cash value” to mean “the City Assessor’s
valuation of real property as shown on the 1975-76 tax bill under `full cash value’, or thereafter the
appraised value of real property when purchased, newly constructed, or a change in ownership has
occurred after the 1975 assessment period.” Furthermore, all real property valuation may be increased to
reflect the inflation rate, as shown by the consumer price index, not to exceed 2% per year, or may be
reduced in the event of declining property values caused by damage, destruction or other factors.

Article XIIIA exempts from the 1% tax limitation any taxes to repay indebtedness approved by
the voters prior to July 1, 1978, and any bonded indebtedness for the acquisition or improvement of real
property approved on or after July 1, 1978 by two-thirds of the voters voting on the proposition approving
such bonds, and requires a vote of two-thirds of the qualified electorate to impose special taxes, while
totally precluding the imposition of any additional ad valorem, sales or transaction tax on real property.
In addition, Article XIIIA requires the approval of two-thirds of all members of the State legislature to
change any State tax law resulting in increased tax revenues.

Article XIIIB of the California Constitution limits the annual appropriations from the proceeds of
taxes of the State and any city, county, school district, authority or other political subdivision of the State
to the level of appropriations for the prior fiscal year, as adjusted for changes in the cost of living,
population and services rendered by the governmental entity. Article XIIIB includes a requirement that if
an entity’s revenues in any year exceed the amount permitted to be spent, the excess would have to be
returned by revising tax or fee schedules over the subsequent two years.

On November 5, 1996, California voters approved an initiative to amend the California


Constitution known as the Right to Vote on Taxes Act (“Proposition 218”), which added Article XIIIC
and XIIID to the California Constitution. Among other provisions, Proposition 218 requires majority
voter approval for the imposition, extension or increase of general taxes and two-thirds voter approval for

40
the imposition, extension or increase of special taxes by a local government, which is defined in
Proposition 218 to include cities. Proposition 218 also provides that any general tax imposed, extended
or increased without voter approval by any local government on or after January 1, 1995 and prior to
November 6, 1996 will continue to be imposed only if approved by a majority vote in an election held
within two years of November 6, 1996. Proposition 218 also provides that the initiative power shall not
be prohibited or otherwise limited in matters of reducing or repealing any local tax, assessment, fee or
charge. This extension of the initiative power is not limited by the terms of Proposition 218 to
impositions after November 6, 1996 and absent other legal authority, could result in retroactive reduction
in any existing taxes, assessments, fees and charges. In addition, Proposition 218 limits the application of
assessments, fees and charges and requires certain existing, new and increased assessments, fees and
charges to be submitted to property owners for approval or rejection, after notice and public hearing. The
City does not expect Proposition 218 to have any immediate material effect on the revenues from which
Base Rental Payments are expected to be appropriated.

Implementing Legislation. Legislation enacted by the California Legislature to implement


Article XIIIA (Statutes of 1978, Chapter 292, as amended) provides that, notwithstanding any other law,
local agencies may not levy any property tax, except to pay debt service on indebtedness approved by the
voters prior to July 1, 1978, and that each county will levy the maximum tax permitted by Article XIIIA
of $4.00 per $100 assessed valuation (based on the traditional practice of using 25% of full cash value as
the assessed value for tax purposes). The legislation further provided that, for Fiscal Year 1978-79 only,
the tax levied by each county was to be appropriated among all taxing agencies within the county in
proportion to their average share of taxes levied in certain previous years.

Future assessed valuation growth allowed under Article XIIIA (i.e., new construction, change of
ownership, and 2% annual value growth) will be allocated on the basis of “situs” among the jurisdictions
that serve the tax rate area within which the growth occurs. Local agencies and schools will share the
growth of “base” revenue from the tax rate area. Each year’s growth allocation becomes part of each
agency’s allocation in the following year. The Authority is unable to predict the nature or magnitude of
future revenue sources which may be provided by the State to replace lost property tax revenues.
Article XIIIA effectively prohibits the levying of any other ad valorem property tax above those
described above, even with the approval of the affected voters.

Constitutional Challenges to Property Tax System. There have been many challenges to
Article XIIIA of the California Constitution. The United States Supreme Court heard the appeal in
Nordlinger v. Hahn, a challenge relating to residential property. Based upon the facts presented in
Nordlinger, the United States Supreme Court held that the method of property tax assessment under
Article XIIIA did not violate the federal Constitution. The Authority cannot predict whether there will be
any future challenges to California’s present system of property tax assessment and cannot evaluate the
ultimate effect on the Agency’s receipt of tax increment revenues should a future decision hold
unconstitutional the method of assessing property.

Statutory Revenue Limitations -- Proposition 62. Proposition 62 is a statewide statutory


initiative adopted by the voters at the November 4, 1986 general election. It added Sections 53720 to
53730 to the Government Code to require that all new local taxes be approved by the voters. The statute
provides that all local taxes are either general taxes or special taxes. General taxes are imposed for
general governmental purposes. Special taxes are imposed for specific purposes only. General taxes may
not be imposed by local government unless approved by a two-thirds vote of the entire legislative body
and a majority of the voters voting on the proposed general tax. Special taxes may not be imposed by
local government unless approved by a majority of the entire legislative body and by two-thirds of the
voters voting on the special tax. Soon after Proposition 62 was adopted by the voters, legal challenges to
taxes adopted contrary to its provisions were filed. In 1991, in the most significant case, City of

41
Woodlake v. Logan, the California Court of Appeal held that the statutory voter approval requirement for
general taxes was unconstitutional. The California Supreme Court refused to review Woodlake.

On September 28, 1995, the California Supreme Court, on a 5-2 vote, in a decision entitled Santa
Clara County Local Transportation Authority v. Guardino (Case No. S036269), “disapproved” Woodlake
and held that the voter approval requirements of Proposition 62 are valid. On December 14, 1995, the
Supreme Court made minor nonsubstantive changes to its written opinion and denied the petition for
rehearing. The decision provides that the voter approval requirements of Proposition 62 for both general
and special taxes are valid. The Guardino case fails to say (1) whether the decision is retroactively
applicable to general taxes adopted prior to the decision; (2) whether taxpayers have any remedies for
refund of taxes paid under a tax ordinance that was not voter approved; (3) what statute of limitations
applies to taxes adopted without voter approval prior to Guardino; (4) whether Proposition 62 applies
only to new taxes or to tax increases as well.

The Court of Appeals in a December 15, 1997 decision entitled McBearty v. City of Brawley
(Case No. D027877) addressed some of these issues. In Brawley, a taxpayer challenged the city’s utility
tax that was passed by the city council in 1991 without a vote of the electorate. The Court of Appeals
held that (i) a three year statute of limitations applies to challenges to a tax ordinance subject to
Proposition 62; and (ii) the statute of limitations did not begin to run until September 1995 when the
Guardino case determined that Proposition 62 was constitutional. The effect of the holding in Brawley is
that any tax ordinances passed between November 1986 and December 1995 that were not approved by
the electorate would be subject to a challenge until December 1998. The court ordered the city to either
cease collecting the tax or seek voter approval to continue levying the tax. However, in Howard Jarvis
Taxpayers Association v. City of La Habra, decided on June 4, 2001, the California Supreme Court
overruled part of McBearty, finding that the three year statute of limitations applicable to such taxes does
not run from the date of the Guardino decision, but rather the continued imposition and collection of such
tax is an ongoing violation, upon which the limitations period begins with each new collection.

Several questions raised by the Guardino decision remain unresolved. Proposition 62 provides
that if a jurisdiction imposes a tax in violation of Proposition 62, the portion of the one percent general ad
valorem tax levy allocated to that jurisdiction is reduced by $1 for every $1 in revenue attributable to the
improperly imposed tax for each year that such tax is collected. The practical applicability of this
provision has not been fully determined. Potential future litigation and legislation may resolve some or
all of the issues raised by the Guardino decision.

The Authority cannot predict the outcome of any pending or future litigation concerning the
validity of Proposition 62, nor can it predict the scope of the Guardino or Brawley decisions discussed
above. Proposition 62 could affect the ability of the City to continue the imposition of, or to retain,
certain taxes, and restrict the City’s ability to raise revenue.

Future Initiatives

Articles XIIIA, XIIIB, XIIIC and XIIID were each adopted as measures that qualified for the
ballot pursuant to California’s initiative process. From time to time other initiative measures could be
adopted, further affecting revenues of the City or the City’s ability to expend revenues. The nature and
impact of these measures cannot be anticipated by the Authority or the City.

THE AUTHORITY

The Authority was established pursuant to a Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement dated as of
September 1, 1990, by and between the City and the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Victorville in
accordance with the provisions of the Bond Law. The Authority was created for the purpose of providing

42
financing for public capital improvements for the City through the acquisition by the Authority of such
public capital improvements and/or the purchase by the Authority of local obligations within the meaning
of the Bond Law. Under the Bond law, the Authority has the power to pay and finance the costs of
acquiring, installing and constructing the Leased Property. The Authority has no independent staff and
consequently will be dependent upon the City’s officers and employees to administer its programs on its
behalf. The Board of Directors of the Authority is composed of the members of the City Council.

UNDERWRITING

The Underwriter has agreed to purchase the Bonds at a purchase price of $83,267,380, which
includes an Underwriter’s discount of $506,620. The purchase agreement relating to the Bonds provides
that the Underwriter will purchase all of the Bonds if any are purchased, the obligation to make such
purchase being subject to certain terms and conditions set forth in the purchase agreement, the approval of
certain legal matters by counsel and certain other conditions.

The Underwriter reserves the right to join with dealers and other underwriters in offering the
Bonds to the public. The Underwriter may offer and sell the Bonds to certain dealers (including dealers
depositing Bonds into investment trusts) at prices lower than the public offering prices, and such dealers
may reallow any such discounts on sales to other dealers.

CERTAIN LEGAL MATTERS

Fulbright & Jaworski L.L.P., Los Angeles, California will render an opinion with respect to the
validity and enforceability of the Bonds, the Indenture, the Lease and the Site Lease, substantially in the
form set forth in APPENDIX E hereto. Certain other legal matters will be passed on for the Authority
and the City by Fulbright & Jaworski L.L.P., Los Angeles, California and by Green, de Bortnowsky &
Quintanilla, LLP, Calabasas, California, Co-Disclosure Counsel, and for the Authority and the City by the
City Attorney of the City of Victorville.

TAX EXEMPTION

The Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”) imposes certain requirements that must be met
subsequent to the issuance and delivery of the Bonds for interest thereon to be and remain excluded
pursuant to section 103(a) of the Code from the gross income of the owners thereof for federal income tax
purposes. Noncompliance with such requirements could cause the interest on the Bonds to be included in
the gross income of the owners thereof for federal income tax purposes retroactive to the date of issuance
of the Bonds. The Authority and the City have covenanted to maintain the exclusion of the interest on the
Bonds from the gross income of the owners thereof for federal income tax purposes.

In the opinion of Fulbright & Jaworski L.L.P., Bond Counsel, under existing law, interest on the
Bonds is exempt from personal income taxes of the State of California and, assuming compliance with the
aforementioned covenant, interest on the Bonds is excluded pursuant to section 103(a) of the Code from
the gross income of the owners thereof for federal income tax purposes. Bond Counsel is also of the
opinion that, assuming compliance with the aforementioned covenant, the Bonds are not “specified
private activity bonds” within the meaning of section 57(a)(5) of the Code and, therefore, the interest on
the Bonds will not be treated as an item of tax preference for purposes of computing the alternative
minimum tax imposed by section 55 of the Code. The receipt or accrual of interest on the Bonds owned
by a corporation may affect the computation of its alternative minimum taxable income, upon which the
alternative minimum tax is imposed, to the extent that such interest is taken into account in determining
the adjusted current earnings of that corporation (75 percent of the excess, if any, of such adjusted current
earnings over the alternative minimum taxable income being an adjustment to alternative minimum

43
taxable income (determined without regard to such adjustment or to the alternative tax net operating loss
deduction)).

Bond Counsel has not undertaken to advise in the future whether any events after the date of
issuance of the Bonds may affect the tax status of interest on the Bonds or the tax consequences of the
ownership of the Bonds. No assurance can be given that future legislation, or amendments to the Code, if
enacted into law, will not contain provisions that could directly or indirectly reduce the benefit of the
exemption of interest on the Bonds from personal income taxation by the State of California or of the
exclusion of the interest on the Bonds from the gross income of the owners thereof for federal income tax
purposes. Furthermore, Bond Counsel expresses no opinion as to any federal, state or local tax law
consequences with respect to the Bonds, or the interest thereon, if any action is taken with respect to the
Bonds or the proceeds thereof predicated or permitted upon the advice or approval of bond counsel if
such advice or approval is given by counsel other than Bond Counsel.

Although Bond Counsel is of the opinion that interest on the Bonds is exempt from state personal
income tax and excluded from the gross income of the owners thereof for federal income tax purposes, an
owner’s federal, state or local tax liability may be otherwise affected by the ownership or disposition of
the Bonds. The nature and extent of these other tax consequences will depend upon the owner’s other
items of income or deduction. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, prospective purchasers of
the Bonds should be aware that (i) section 265 of the Code denies a deduction for interest on indebtedness
incurred or continued to purchase or carry the Bonds or, in the case of a financial institution, that portion
of an owner’s interest expense allocated to interest on the Bonds, (ii) with respect to insurance companies
subject to the tax imposed by section 831 of the Code, section 832(b)(5)(B)(i) reduces the deduction for
loss reserves by 15 percent of the sum of certain items, including interest on the Bonds, (iii) interest on
the Bonds earned by certain foreign corporations doing business in the United States could be subject to a
branch profits tax imposed by section 884 of the Code, (iv) passive investment income, including interest
on the Bonds, may be subject to federal income taxation under section 1375 of the Code for Subchapter S
corporations that have Subchapter C earnings and profits at the close of the taxable year if greater than
25% of the gross receipts of such Subchapter S corporation is passive investment income, (v) section 86
of the Code requires recipients of certain Social Security and certain Railroad Retirement benefits to take
into account, in determining the taxability of such benefits, receipts or accruals of interest on the Bonds
and (vi) under section 32(i) of the Code, receipt of investment income, including interest on the Bonds,
may disqualify the recipient thereof from obtaining the earned income credit. Bond Counsel has
expressed no opinion regarding any such other tax consequences.

Bond Counsel’s opinion is not a guarantee of a result, but represents its legal judgment based
upon its review of existing statutes, regulations, published rulings and court decisions and the
representations and covenants of the Authority described above. No ruling has been sought from the
Internal Revenue Service (the “Service”) with respect to the matters addressed in the opinion of Bond
Counsel, and Bond Counsel’s opinion is not binding on the Service. The Service has an ongoing program
of auditing the tax-exempt status of the interest on municipal obligations. If an audit of the Bonds is
commenced, under current procedures the Service is likely to treat the Authority as the “taxpayer”, and
the Owners would have no right to participate in the audit process. In responding to or defending an audit
of the tax-exempt status of the interest on the Bonds, the Authority may have different or conflicting
interest from the Owners. Further, the disclosure of the initiation of an audit may adversely affect the
market price of the Bonds, regardless of the final disposition of the audit.

LITIGATION

There is no action, suit or proceeding known to the Authority to be pending or threatened,


restraining or enjoining the execution or delivery of the Bonds, the Indenture or the Lease or in any way

44
contesting or affecting the validity of the foregoing or any proceedings of the Authority taken with respect
to any of the foregoing.

The City has pending against it several claims and lawsuits arising in the normal course of City
operations. The City is of the view that, if determined adversely to the City, such claims and lawsuits
would not, in the aggregate, materially impair the City’s ability to make payments of Base Rental and
Additional Rental when due.

RATING

Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) has assigned the rating of “AA-/A-1+” to the Bonds, based upon
issuance of the Letter of Credit. Bonds bearing interest at Daily Rate are not rated. Such rating reflects
only the view of S&P, and explanation of the significance of the ratings may be obtained from S&P.
There is no assurance that the rating will continue for any given period of time or that it will not be
revised downward or withdrawn entirely by S&P, if in the judgment of S&P circumstances so warrant.
Any such downward revision or withdrawal of the rating may have an adverse effect on the market price
of the Bonds.

NO CONTINUING DISCLOSURE

With respect to any time prior to the Fixed Rate Conversion Date, neither the City nor the
Authority has covenanted in the Indenture or the Lease that it will undertake any continuing disclosure
with respect to the Bonds.

APPENDIX A

CERTAIN ECONOMIC AND DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION


CONCERNING THE CITY OF VICTORVILLE

The following information relating to the City of Victorville and the County of San Bernardino,
California is supplied solely for purposes of information. Neither the City nor the County is obligated in
any manner to pay principal of or interest on the Bonds or to cure any delinquency or default on the
Bonds. The Bonds are payable solely from Tax Revenues and other moneys as described in the Official
Statement. The Project Area is located within the boundaries of the City.

General

The City of Victorville (the “City”) is situated approximately 97 miles Northeast of Los Angeles
and 35 miles northeast of San Bernardino. The City is just north of the San Bernardino mountains, at the
edge of the Mojave desert. Interstate 15 and State Highway 18 intersect near the heart of the City and
Victorville is bordered on the west by State Highway 395. Major trucking and rail routes run through the
area. The City is conveniently close to Southern California Logistics Airport and within 30-40 minutes of
Ontario International Airport.

The City was incorporated on September 21, 1962, as a general law city with a population of
approximately 8,110 and an area of 9.7 square miles. As of June 30, 2004 the City’s population and area
was approximately 77,679 and 74.09 square miles respectively. These figures indicate the City has grown
substantially in its history as a municipality. Prior to incorporation the community had a history which
goes back over 100 years, when the first settlers of European descent arrived.

During World War II, construction of Victorville Army Airfield, later renamed George Air Force
Base, was completed. When fully activated, the base supported two Tactical Fighter Wings of the
Tactical Air Command whose primary aircraft was the F-4 Phantom. It also employed approximately
6,000 civilian and military personnel. On January 5, 1989, the Secretary of Defense announced the
closure of George Air Force Base under the Base Closure and Realignment Act. The base was
deactivated December 15, 1992. The former military base was annexed into the City on July 21, 1993,
and has been renamed Southern California Logistics Airport (SCLA). In 1998, SCLA was master
planned with a reuse plan that proposed redevelopment of the former military facility as a 5,000-acre fully
dedicated business and logistics park integrating rail, ground and aviation transportation into one location
benefiting logistics operators and manufacturers. SCLA makes available Foreign Trade Zone access, 24-
hour/day U.S. Customs Service, Enterprise Zone incentives and municipal utility service.

Municipal Government

The City functions as a general law city under the council-manager form of government. Five
council members are elected at large to serve four year overlapping terms. Members of the council select
the Mayor from among their members to serve a two-year term. The City Manager is appointed by the
City Council.

The City has approximately 646 full time and part time employees. The City has a contract with
the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department to provide 24 hour protection, including dispatch and
911 service. Victorville has 6 fully equipped and manned fire stations including 59 full time firefighters.

In the County of San Bernardino, the service industries accounted for more than 82.2% of total
non-agricultural employment in 2005, with a total of 528,900 jobs. The government sector was the
second largest sector in 2005, comprising approximately 18.2% of total County non-agricultural
employment with a total of 117,100 jobs.

A-3
During 2005, trade accounted for approximately 17.8% of total non-agricultural employment and
manufacturing accounted for an additional 10.7%. The construction and transportation sectors of
employment are greatly influenced by the general health of the economy due to the fact that they serve
exclusively the local market. These two sectors are therefore directly influenced by the growth of
population and housing.

The following table sets forth the annual average employment by industry within the County for
the fiscal years 2001 through 2005.

Economic Development

The Victor Valley includes the communities of Adelanto, Apple Valley, Barstow Hesperia,
Lucerne Valley, Oak Hills, Phelan, Victorville and Wrightwood. Victorville is the business hub of the
Victor Valley and draws consumers from well beyond its immediate area. It is the largest commercial
center between San Bernardino and the Nevada border.

Most of the area’s employment opportunities fall into service-related businesses, with nearly 42%
of businesses in the city located in the retail sales category. Local manufacturing companies are primarily
related to mining and cement production.

Within the City, there are some 3,250 acres zoned for commercial use -- and nearly 60% remains
available for development. Rental rates range from 50 cents to $2.00 per square foot. Victorville is home
to the largest enclosed regional shopping center between San Bernardino and Las Vegas. The Mall of
Victor Valley is anchored by major department stores such as the Harris Company, J.C. Penney,
Mervyns, and Sears. The City also offers many other retail facilities for consumers.

Since the closure of the former George Air Force Base (“GAFB,” which is in close proximity to
the Project Area) in December of 1992, the City has focused its economic development efforts towards
creating new jobs that compliment the efforts to redevelop the former military facility into a 5,000-acre
fully dedicated business and logistics park integrating rail, ground and aviation transportation into one
location benefiting logistics operators and manufacturers. SCLA makes available Foreign Trade Zone
access, 24-hour/day U.S. Customs Service, Enterprise Zone incentives and municipal utility service.

The closure of GAFB in December 1992 immediately impacted the Victorville community. With
the loss of approximately 10,000 military and civilian jobs, overall development activity within the City
declined accordingly. The following table provides information on total new construction activity in the
City from January 1995 through June, 2006.

Since 1996 the City has added an estimated 2,300 new manufacturing and distribution related
jobs at SCLA and the Foxborough Industrial Park. Hoping to add an additional 2,000 new
manufacturing/distribution related jobs in the next 5 years, the City anticipates a continued upward trend
in economic development activity in the Project Area.

Assessed Valuation and Property Taxes

Taxes are levied for each fiscal year on taxable real and personal property which is situated in the
City as of the preceding January 1. For assessment and collection purposes, property is classified as
either “secured” or “unsecured.” Secured property is that part of the assessment roll containing State
assessed property and property secured by a lien on real property which is sufficient, in the opinion of the
County Assessor, to secure payment of the taxes. Other property is assessed on the “unsecured roll.”

The County of San Bernardino (the “County”) levies a 1% property tax on behalf of all taxing
agencies in the County, including the City. The taxes collected are allocated on the basis of a formula
established by State law. Under this formula, the City and all other taxing entities receive a base year
allocation plus an allocation on the basis of “situs” growth in assessed value (new construction, change of
ownership and inflation) among the jurisdictions which serve the tax rate areas within which the growth
occurs. Tax rate areas are specifically defined geographic areas which were developed to permit the
levying of taxes for less than county-wide or less than city-wide special districts.

Assessed valuations in the County are established by the County Assessor, except for utility
property which is assessed by the State Board of Equalization. Property is assessed at 100% of actual
market value and tax rates are expressed in terms of the ratio of “full cash value” to actual market value.
During each County fiscal year, property which is improved or with respect to which a change in
ownership occurs, is subject to reassessment to the then current market value. Property that is not subject
to reassessment is subject to a maximum 2% increase per year. Such increases in assessed value during
each County fiscal year are compiled as the County’s “supplemental roll,” and supplemental taxes are
levied on such increases in assessed value during the County’s fiscal year.

State law currently exempts $7,000 of the assessed value of an owner occupied dwelling, but the
City does not suffer any revenue loss because an amount equivalent to the tax on such exempt amount is
paid by the State.

State law also exempts the full value of business inventories from taxation, but provides agencies
based on their respective shares of the revenues derived from the application of the maximum tax rate,
adjusted to reflect changes in population and the consumer price index. Since the 1984-85 County fiscal
year, the reimbursement for the business inventory exemption has been consolidated into the State motor
vehicle in-lieu fee revenue, which currently more than restores the revenue lost through the business
inventory exemption.

See “RISK FACTORS – Risks Related to Taxation in California” for additional information
relating to taxation and collection of taxes.

Tax Levies, Collections and Delinquencies

Property taxes on the secured roll are due in two installments, on November 1 and February 1. If
unpaid, such taxes become delinquent on December 10 and April 10, respectively, and a ten percent
penalty attaches to any delinquent payment. In addition, property on the secured roll becomes tax
delinquent on June 30. Such property may thereafter be prepaid by payment of the delinquent taxes plus
the delinquency penalty, plus a prepayment penalty of one and one-half percent per month to the time of
prepayment. If taxes remain unpaid for a period of five years or more, the property is subject to sale by
the County Tax Collector.

Property taxes on the unsecured roll are due as of the January 1 lien date and become delinquent,
if unpaid, on August 31. A ten percent (10%) penalty attaches to delinquent taxes on property on the
unsecured roll, and an additional penalty of one and one-half percent per month begins to accrue on

A-7
November 1. The taxing authority has four ways of collecting unsecured personal property taxes: (1) a
civil action against the taxpayer, (2) filing a certificate in the office of the County Clerk specifying certain
facts in order to obtain a judgment lien on certain property of the taxpayer, (3) filing a certificate of
delinquency for record in the County Recorder’s office in order to obtain a lien on certain property of the
taxpayer, and (4) seizure and sale of personal property, improvements or possessory interests, belonging
or assessed to the taxpayer.

Each county levies (except for levies to support prior voter-approved indebtedness) and collects
all property taxes for property located within that county’s taxing boundaries. The County has not
established a property tax distribution program commonly referred to as the “Teeter Plan.” Taxes are
distributed to taxing agencies within the County on the basis of actual tax collections rather than on the
basis of tax levy.

See “RISK FACTORS – Risks Related to Taxation in California” for additional information
relating to taxation and collection of taxes.

The following tables present information regarding the assessed valuation of property within the
City. All assessed valuations include homeowner exemptions.

Year Ended June 30,2006

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The financial statements of the City of Victorville, California (City) have been prepared in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as applied to government
units. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard-
setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles. The
more significant of the City’s accounting policies are described below.

(a) Reporting Entity

The City of Victorville is situated approximately 97 miles northeast of Los


Angeles in Southern California’s Mojave Desert. The City was incorporated in
1962 and had an estimated population at June 30, 2006 of 86,473.

The City is a general-law City that operates under the Council-Manager form of
government, with five elected Council members served by a full time City
Manager and staff. At June 30, 2006, the City’s staff comprised of 537 full and
part time employees who were responsible for the City-provided services.

The accounting policies of the City conform to accounting principles generally


accepted in the United States as applicable to governments.

As required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States,


these financial statements present the City of Victorville and its component units,
entities for which the City is considered to be financially accountable. The City
is considered to be financially accountable for an organization if the City appoints
a voting majority of that organization’s governing body and the City is able to
impose its will on that organization or there is a potential for that organization to
provide specific financial benefits to or impose specific financial burdens on the
City. The City is also considered to be financially accountable for an
organization if that organization is fiscally dependent (i.e., it is unable to adopt its
budget, levy taxes, set rates or charges, or issue bonded debt without approval
from the City). In certain cases, other organizations are included as component
units if the nature and significance of their relationship with the City are such that
their exclusion would cause the City’s financial statements to be misleading or
incomplete.

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, (Continued)

(a) Reporting Entity, (Continued)

Based upon the above criteria, the component units of the City include the
Redevelopment Agency of the City of Victorville, the Southern California
Logistics Airport Authority and the Southern California Logistics Rail Authority.

Since City Council serves as the governing board for the Redevelopment Agency
of the City of Victorville and Southern California Logistics Airport Authority, the
component units are considered to be blended component units. Blended
component units, although legally separate entities, are in substance, part of the
City’s operations and so data from these units are reported with the interfund data
of the primary government. The Redevelopment Agency of the City of
Victorville and Southern California Logistics Airport Authority issue separate
component unit financial statements. Upon completion, the financial statements
of these component units can be obtained at the City of Victorville, located at
14343 Civic Drive, Victorville, CA 92392. A brief description of the component
units follows:

Redevelopment Agency of the City of Victorville

The Redevelopment Agency’s financial activity commenced in September 1980.


The primary purpose of the Agency is to prepare and implement plans for
improvement, rehabilitation, and development of certain areas within the City.
The Agency’s financial data and transactions are included with the special
revenue fund type, debt service fund type, and the capital projects fund type.
Revenues of the Agency consist primarily of property tax allocations on the
incremental increase of property values in the redevelopment area and revenues
from the use of money and property.

Southern California Logistics Airport Authority

The Southern California Logistics Airport Authority (SCLAA), was formed in


1997 between the City of Victorville and the Redevelopment Agency of
Victorville to provide for the coordination of long range planning of the territory
of George Air Force Base. SCLAA’s financial data and transactions are included
as an enterprise fund of the City. SCLAA prepares a budget in sufficient detail to
constitute an operating outline for the source and amount of funds available to
SCLAA and expenditures to be made during the ensuing fiscal year.

(a) Reporting Entity, (Continued)

Southern California Logistics Airport Authority, (Continued)

SCLAA revenues consist primarily of grants and loans received by SCLAA and
from profits, income, sales proceeds, interest earnings from leases and land sales
and tax increment revenues.

Southern California Logistics Rail Authority

The Southern California Logistics Rail Authority (SCLRA) was formed on


October 17, 2001 by the City of Victorville, the Victorville Redevelopment
Agency and the Southern California Logistic Airport Authority (SCLAA). The
purpose of SCLRA is to provide for the coordination of long range planning of
the development of rail facilities and adjoining land surrounding and including
Southern California Logistic Airport. SCLRA’s financial data and transactions
are included as an enterprise fund of the City. SCLRA prepares a budget in
sufficient detail to constitute an operating outline for the source and amount of
funds available to SCLRA and expenditures to be made during the ensuing fiscal
year. SCLRA revenues consist primarily of grants and loans received by SCLRA.

(b) Basis of Accounting and Measurement Focus

The basic financial statements of the City are composed of the following:

• Government-wide financial statements

• Fund financial statements

• Notes to the basic financial statements

Financial reporting is based upon all GASB pronouncements, as well as the


FASB Statements and Interpretations, APB Opinions, and Accounting Research
Bulletins that were issued on or before November 30, 1989 that do not conflict
with or contradict GASB pronouncements. FASB pronouncements issued after
November 1989 are not followed in the preparation of the accompanying
financial statements.

(b) Basis of Accounting and Measurement Focus, (Continued)

Government-wide Financial Statements

Government-wide financial statements display information about the reporting


government as a whole, except for its fiduciary activities. These statements
include separate columns for the governmental and business-type activities of the
primary government (including its blended component units), as well as its
discreetly presented component units. The City of Victorville has no discretely
presented component units. Eliminations have been made in the Statement of
Activities so that certain allocated expenses are recorded only once (by the
function to which they were allocated). However, general government expenses
have not been allocated as indirect expenses to the various functions of the City.

Government-wide financial statements are presented using the economic


resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Under the
economic resources measurement focus, all (both current and long-term)
economic resources and obligations of the reporting government are reported in
the government-wide financial statements. Basis of accounting refers to when
revenues and expenditures are recognized in the accounts and reported in the
financial statements. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues, expenses,
gains, losses, assets, and liabilities resulting from exchange and exchange-like
transactions are recognized when the exchange takes place. Revenues, expenses,
gains, losses, assets, and liabilities resulting from non-exchange transaction are
recognized in accordance with the requirements of GASB Statement No. 33.

Program revenues include charges for services and payments made by parties
outside of the reporting government’s citizenry if that money is restricted to a
particular program. Program revenues are netted with program expenses in the
statement of activities to present the net cost of each program. Taxes and other
items not included among program revenues are reported instead as general
revenues.

As a general rule the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the
government-wide financial statements.

City of Victorville
Notes to Basic Financial Statements
(Continued)

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, (Continued)

(b) Basis of Accounting and Measurement Focus, (Continued)

Amounts paid to acquire capital assets are capitalized as assets in the


government-wide financial statements, rather than reported as an expenditure.
Proceeds of long-term debt are recorded as a liability in the government-wide
financial statements, rather than as an other financing source. Amounts paid to
reduce long-term indebtedness of the reporting government are reported as a
reduction of the related liability, rather than as an expenditure.

Fund Financial Statements

The underlying accounting system of the City is organized and operated on the
basis of separate funds, each of which is considered to be a separate accounting
entity. The operations of each fund are accounted for with a separate set of self-
balancing accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenues and
expenditures or expenses, as appropriate. Governmental resources are allocated to
and accounted for in individual funds based upon the purposes for which they are
to be spent and the means by which spending activities are controlled.

Fund financial statements for the primary government’s governmental,


proprietary, and fiduciary funds are presented after the government-wide financial
statements. These statements display information about major funds individually
and nonmajor funds in the aggregate for governmental and enterprise funds.
Fiduciary statements include financial information for fiduciary funds and similar
component units. Fiduciary funds of the City primarily represent assets held by
the City in a custodial capacity for other individuals or organizations.

(b) Basis of Accounting and Measurement Focus, (Continued)

Governmental Funds

In the fund financial statements, governmental funds are presented using the
modified-accrual basis of accounting. Their revenues are recognized when they
become measurable and available as net current assets. Measurable means that
the amounts can be estimated, or otherwise determined. Available means that the
amounts were collected during the reporting period or soon enough thereafter to
be available to finance the expenditures accrued for the reporting period. The City
uses a sixty day availability period. The City accrues the following revenue
types: taxes, licenses, fines and forfeitures, and other miscellaneous revenues.

Revenue recognition is subject to the measurable and availability criteria for the
governmental funds in the fund financial statements. Exchange transactions are
recognized as revenues in the period in which they are earned (i.e., the related
goods or services are provided). Locally imposed derived tax revenues are
recognized as revenues in the period in which the underlying exchange
transaction upon which they are based takes place. Imposed non-exchange
transactions are recognized as revenues in the period for which they were
imposed. If the period of use is not specified, they are recognized as revenues
when an enforceable legal claim to the revenues arises or when they are received,
whichever occurs first. Government-mandated and voluntary non-exchange
transactions are recognized as revenues when all applicable eligibility
requirements have been met.

In the fund financial statements, governmental funds are presented using the
current financial resources measurement focus. This means that only current
assets and current liabilities are generally included on their balance sheets. The
reported fund balance (net current assets) is considered to be a measure of
“available spendable resources.” Governmental fund operating statements present
increases (revenues and other financing sources) and decreases (expenditures and
other financing uses) in net current assets. Accordingly, they are said to present a
summary of sources and uses of “available spendable resources” during a period.

Notes to Basic Financial Statements

(b) Basis of Accounting and Measurement Focus, (Continued)


Governmental Funds, (Continued)
Noncurrent portions of long-term receivables due to governmental funds are
reported on their balance sheets in spite of their spending measurement focus.
Special reporting treatments are used to indicate, however, that they should not be
considered “available spendable resources,” since they do not represent net
current assets. Recognition of governmental fund type revenues represented by
noncurrent receivables are deferred until they become current receivables.
Noncurrent portions of other long-term receivables are offset by fund balance
reserve accounts.
Because of their spending measurement focus, expenditure recognition for
governmental fund types excludes amounts represented by noncurrent liabilities.
Since they do not affect net current assets, such long-term amounts are not
recognized as governmental fund type expenditures or fund liabilities.
Amounts expended to acquire capital assets are recorded as expenditures in the
year that resources were expended, rather than as fund assets. The proceeds of
long-term debt are recorded as an other financing sources rather than as a fund
liability. Amounts paid to reduce long-term indebtedness are reported as fund
expenditures.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are combined in a fund, expenses
are considered to be paid first from restricted resources, and then from
unrestricted resources.
Proprietary and Fiduciary Funds
The City’s enterprise funds are proprietary funds. In the fund financial
statements, proprietary funds are presented using the accrual basis of accounting.
Revenues are recognized when they are earned and expenses are recognized when
the related goods or services are delivered. In the fund financial statements,
proprietary funds are presented using the economic resources measurement focus.
This means that all assets and all liabilities (whether current or noncurrent)
associated with their activity are included on their balance sheets. Proprietary
fund type operating statements present increases (revenues) and decreases
(expenses) in total net assets.

(b) Basis of Accounting and Measurement Focus, (Continued)

Proprietary and Fiduciary Funds, (Continued)

Proprietary fund operating revenues, such as charges for services, result from
exchange transactions associated with principal activity of the fund. Exchange
transactions are those in which each party receives and gives up essentially equal
values. Non-operating revenues, such as subsidies, taxes, and investment
earnings result from non-exchange transactions or ancillary activities. Operating
expenses for enterprise funds include the cost of sales and services,
administrative expenses, and depreciation on capital asses. All revenues and
expenses not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating expenses.
Amounts paid to acquire capital assets are capitalized as assets in the proprietary
fund financial statements, rather than reported as an expediture. Proceeds of
long-term debt are recorded as a liability in the proprietary fund financial
statements, rather than as other financing source. Amounts paid to reduce long-
term indebtedness of the proprietary funds are reported as a reduction of the
related liability, rather than as expenditure.

Agency funds are custodial in nature (assets equal liabilities) and do not involve
the recording of City revenue and expenses.

(c) Major Funds and Fiduciary Fund Types

The City reports the following major governmental funds:

General Fund - The chief operating fund of a local government. The general fund
is used to account for all financial resources except those required to be
accounted for in another fund.

Solid Waste Management Special Revenue Fund - Accounts for all activities
occurred in the following programs: Solid Waste Management, Source Reduction
and Recycling, Landfill Mitigation, Household Hazardous Waste, and CA
Department of Conservation Grants.

(c) Major Funds and Fiduciary Fund Types, (Continued)

Measure I Street Arterials Special Revenue Fund - Accounts for the portion of
sales tax revenue received from the county. The funds are legally restricted
expenditures for the local street networks that have significant interjurisdictional
or regional traffic.

Redevelopment Agency Debt Service - Accounts for the accumulation of


resources for and payment of principal and interest on the Victorville
Redevelopment Agency Tax Allocation Bonds.

Capital Impact Facilities Capital Projects Fund - Accounts for the acquisition or
construction of major capital facilities related to public improvements needed as
population increases. Revenue received from these funding sources comprised of
licenses and permits earned from impact fees.

Victorville Redevelopment Agency Capital Projects Fund - Accounts for financial


resources to be used for acquisition or construction of major capital facilities.
The fund is composed of the redevelopment project area in Bear Valley Road /
Hook Boulevard, the Old Town / Midtown project area and Victorville’s portion
of the Victor Valley Project Area.

The City reports the following major proprietary funds:


Sanitary District Fund - Accounts for capital acquisition of the City’s sanitary
district. Revenue received for these funding sources comprised of sewer user fees
and property taxes. Sewer user fees are charges for services to residents and
businesses. Since the City of Victorville elected to be a no property tax city, the
property tax revenue received is based from the sanitary district.
Southern California Logistics Airport Authority Fund - Accounts for both
operation and capital acquisition of the activities surrounding the airport. The
former George Air Force Base now known as Southern California Logistics
Airport Authority is a joint power authority formed by the City of Victorville and
the Victorville Redevelopment Agency. The authority was created to effectuate
the redevelopment of the former base and certain properties within an eight mile
radius of the boundaries of the airport. The airport funding sources comprised of
federal grants, charges for services and Tax Allocation Bonds.

(c) Major Funds and Fiduciary Fund Types, (Continued)

Municipal Utility Fund - Accounts for the operation, maintenance, and capital
expenditures of the City’s municipal utility, which is funded by user charges,
other fees and loans.
Additionally, the City reports the following fiduciary fund type:
Agency Funds - Fiduciary fund used to account for assets held by the City as an
agent for individuals, private organizations, other governments and/or other
funds. Agency funds are custodial in nature (assets equal liabilities) and do not
involve measurement of results of operations.

(d) Cash and Investments

Cash includes demand deposits. The California Government Code and the City
of Victorville’s investment policy permit the City of Victorville to invest in
various instruments and pools. Investments are reported in the accompanying
balance sheet at fair value, except for certain investment contracts that are
reported at cost because they are not transferable and they have terms that are not
affected by changes in market interest rates.
Changes in fair value that occur during a fiscal year are recognized as investment
income reported for that fiscal year. Investment income includes interest
earnings, changes in fair value, any gains or losses realized upon the liquidation
or sale of investments and rental income.
The City pools cash and investments of all funds, except for assets held by fiscal
agents. Each fund’s share in this pool is displayed in the accompanying financial
statements as cash and investments. Investment income earned by the pooled
investments is allocated to the various funds based on each fund’s average cash
and investment balance.

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, (Continued)

(e) Cash Equivalents


For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash equivalents are defined as
short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or
less from the date of acquisition that are both readily convertible to known
amounts of cash or so near their maturity that they present insignificant risk of
changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Cash equivalents represent
the proprietary funds’ share in the cash and investment pool of the City of
Victorville, and the cash recorded in the proprietary funds held by a fiscal agent.
(f) Due from Other Governments
The amounts recorded as a receivable due from other governments include sales
taxes, state gas taxes, and motor vehicle in-lieu taxes, collected or provided by
Federal, State, County and City Governments and unremitted to the City as of
June 30, 2006.
(g) Inventory and Prepaid Items
Inventories are valued on the average cost method. Inventory in the General Fund
consists of office supplies, hardware supplies, fuel and oil. The City uses the
consumption method of accounting for inventories.
Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods
and are recorded as prepaid items in both government-wide and fund financial
statements.
(h) Land Held for Resale
Land held for resale consists of property acquired by the Victorville
Redevelopment Agency and intended to be sold for private developers. Land held
for resale is valued at the lower of cost of market.
(i) Capital Assets
Capital assets (including infrastructure) greater than $5,000 are capitalized and
recorded at cost or at the estimated fair value of the assets at the time of
acquisition where complete historical records have not been maintained. Donated
capital assets are valued at their estimated fair market value at the date of the
donation. The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to thee
value of the asset or materially extend assets lives are not capitalized.

47
City of Victorville
Notes to Basic Financial Statements
(Continued)

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, (Continued)


(i) Capital Assets, (Continued)
Capital assets include public domain (“infrastructure”) capital assets consisting of
certain improvements other than buildings, including roads, bridges, curbs and
gutters, streets and sidewalks, drainage systems and lighting systems.
Depreciation has been provided using the straight-line method over the estimated
useful life of the asset in the government-wide financial statements and in the
fund financial statements of the proprietary funds.
A summary of the estimated useful lives of capital assets is as follows:
Buildings and Improvements 10-50 years
Furniture and Equipment 3-7 years
Computer and Communications 5 years
Vehicles 8-15 years
Infrastructure 20-100 years
(j) Compensated Absences
In accordance with GASB Statement No. 16, a liability is recorded for unused
vacation and similar compensatory leave balances since the employees’
entitlement to these balances are attributable to services already rendered and it is
probably that virtually all of these balances will be liquidated by either paid time
off or payments upon termination or retirement.
Under GASB Statement No. 16, a liability is recorded for unused sick leave
balances only to the extent that it is probable that the unused balances will result
in termination payments. This is estimated by including in the liability the unused
balances of employees currently entitled to receive termination payment, as well
as those who are expected to become eligible to receive termination benefits as a
result of continuing their employment with the City. Other amounts of unused
sick leave are excluded from the liability since their payment is contingent solely
upon the occurrence of a future event (illness), which is outside the control of the
City and the employee.
Compensated absences (unpaid vacation and sick leave) are recorded as
expenditures in the year they are paid. The balance of unpaid vacation and vested
sick leave at year end is recorded as a long-term liability in the government-wide
financial statements, as these amounts will be recorded as fund expenditures in
the year in which they are paid or become due on demand to terminated
employees.

Notes to Basic Financial Statements

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, (Continued)

(k) Claims and Judgments


The City records a liability for litigation, judgments, and claims when it is
probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred prior to
year-end and the probable amount of loss can be reasonably estimated.
Accordingly, such claims are recorded as liabilities in the governmental and
proprietary funds.
(l) Bond Discounts/Issuance Costs
For the government fund financial statements, bond premiums and discounts, as
well as issuance costs, are recognized during the current period. Bond proceeds
are reported as other financing sources net of any applicable discount or premium.
Issuance costs, whether or not withheld from actual net proceeds received, are
reported as current expenditures. For government-wide financial statements and
proprietary fund financial statements, bond premiums and discounts, as well as
issuance costs, are deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds using the
straight-line method.
(m) Property Taxes
Property taxes attach as an enforceable lien on property as of March 1. Taxes are
levied on July 1 and are payable in two installments on December 10 and April
10. The County of San Bernardino, California bills and collects the property
taxes and remits them to the City in installments during the year. City property
tax revenues are recognized when levied to the extent that they result in current
receivables within 60 days.
The County is permitted by State law (Proposition 13) to levy taxes at 1% of full
market rate (at time of purchase) and can increase the property tax rate no more
than 2% per year. Cities receive a share of this basic levy proportionate to what it
received in the 1976 to 1978 period. As the City of Victorville did not receive
property taxes during the period of 1976-1978, the City receives a no/low
property tax subvention.
(n) Prior Year Data
The information included in the accompanying financial statements for the prior
year has been presented for comparison purposes only and does not represent a
complete presentation in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. Certain minor reclassifications of prior year have been made in order
to enhance their comparability with current year figures.

debt reduction occurring at a slower pace than depreciation. The City has
increased the period of time over which certain debt issues are being repaid as a
result of several refunding actions.

The table below identifies the investment types that are authorized for the City by the
California Government Code and the City’s investment policy. The table also identifies
certain provisions of the California Government Code (or the City’s investment policy, if
more restrictive) that address interest rate risk, credit risk, and concentration of credit
risk. This table does not address investments of debt proceeds held by bond trustee that
are governed by the provisions of debt agreements of the City, rather than the general
provisions of the California Government Code or the City’s investment policy.

agreements, rather than the general provisions of the California Government Code or the
City’s investment policy. The table below identifies the investment types that are
authorized for investments held by bond trustee. The table also identifies certain
provisions of these debt agreements that address interest rate risk, credit risk, and
concentration of credit risk.

Disclosures Relating to Interest Rate Risk


Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely affect the
fair value of an investment. Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment, the
greater the sensitivity of its fair value to changes in market interest rates. One of the ways
that the City manages its exposure to interest rate risk is by purchasing a combination of
shorter term and longer term investments and by timing cash flows from maturities so
that a portion of the portfolio is maturing or coming close to maturity evenly over time as
necessary to provide the cash flow and liquidity needed for operations.
Information about the sensitivity of the fair values of the City’s investments (including
investments held by bond trustee) to market interest rate fluctuations is provided by the
following table that shows the distribution of the City’s investments by maturity:

Disclosures Relating to Credit Risk


Generally, credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its
obligation to the holder of the investment. This is measured by the assignment of a rating
by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Presented below is the
minimum rating required by (where applicable) the California Government Code, the
City’s investment policy, or debt agreements, and the actual rating as of year end for each
investment type.

Total $204,090,588 - 93,411,176 110,679,412

Concentration of Credit Risk


The investment policy of the City contains no limitations on the amount that can be
invested in any one issuer beyond that stipulated by the California Government Code.
Investments in any one issuer (other than U.S. Treasury securities, mutual funds, and
external investment pools) that represent 5% or more of total City investments are as
follows:
Issuer Investment Type Reported Amount
Federal Home Loan Bank Federal Agencies Securities $20,551,429

Custodial Credit Risk


Custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a depository
financial institution, a government will not be able to recover its deposits or will not be
able to recover collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The
custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the
counterparty (e.g., broker-dealer) to a transaction, a government will not be able to
recover the value of its investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of
another party. The California Government Code and the City’s investment policy do not
contain legal or policy requirements that would limit the exposure to custodial credit risk
for deposits or investments, other than the following provision for deposits: The
California Government Code requires that a financial institution secure deposits made by
state or local governmental units by pledging securities in an undivided collateral pool

Custodial Credit Risk (Continued)


held by a depository regulated under state law (unless so waived by the governmental
unit). The market value of the pledged securities in the collateral pool must equal at least
110% of the total amount deposited by the public agencies. California law also allows
financial institutions to secure City deposits by pledging first trust deed mortgage notes
having a value of 150% of the secured public deposits. As of June 30, 2006, $4,332,876
of the City’s deposits with financial institutions in excess of federal depository insurance
limits was held in collateralized accounts.
For investments identified herein as held by bond trustee, the bond trustee selects the
investment under the terms of the applicable trust agreement, acquires the investment,
and holds the investment on behalf of the reporting government.
Investment in State Investment Pool
The City is a voluntary participant in the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) that is
regulated by the California Government Code under the oversight of the Treasurer of the
State of California. The fair value of the City’s investment in this pool is reported in the
accompanying financial statements at amounts based upon the City’s pro-rata share of
the fair value provided by LAIF for the entire LAIF portfolio (in relation to the amortized
cost of that portfolio). The balance available for withdrawal is based on the accounting
records maintained by LAIF, which are recorded on an amortized cost basis.

Area, and was set up because at the time there was no tax increment coming from
the Oldtown/Midtown Project Area. The advance took place on July 1, 1999, with
a term of repayment of five years, including 5.69% fixed interest during the term.

through the Mojave Desert and Mountain Solid Waste Joint Powers Authority
(“Authority”). On May 1, 2004, the $5,910,000 Project Revenue Refunding Bonds,

(11) Defined Benefit Pension Plan

The City of Victorville contributes to the California Public Employees Retirement


System (PERS), an agent multiple-employer public employee defined benefit pension
plan. PERS provides retirement and disability benefits, annual cost-of-living adjustments,
and death benefits to plan members and beneficiaries. PERS acts as a common
investment and administrative agent for participating public entities within the State of
California. Copies of PERS’ annual financial report may be obtained from their
executive office: 400 P Street, Sacramento, California 95814.

Participants are required to contribute 7% (9% for safety employees) of their annual
covered salary. The City makes the contributions required of City employees on their
behalf and for their account. Benefit provisions and all other requirements are
established by state statutes and city contract with employee bargaining groups.

Under GASB 27, an employer reports an annual pension cost (APC) equal to the annual
required contribution (ARC) plus an adjustment for the cumulative difference between
the APC and the employer’s actual plan contributions for the year. The cumulative
difference is called the net pension obligation (NPO). The ARC for the period July 1,
2005 to June 30, 2006 has been determined by an actuarial valuation of the plan as of
June 30, 2003. The contribution rate indicated for the period is 19.789% of payroll for
the safety plan and 12.882% of payroll for the miscellaneous plan. In order to calculate
the dollar value of the ARC for inclusion in financial statements prepared as of June 30,
2006, this contribution rate would be multiplied by the payroll of covered employees that
was actually paid during the period July 1, 2005 to June 30, 2006.

(Continued)

A summary of principle assumptions and methods used to determine the ARC is shown
below.

Valuation Date June 30, 2003


Actuarial Cost Method Entry Age Actuarial Cost Method
Amortization Method Level Percent of Payroll
Average Remaining Period 16 Years as of the Valuation Date
Asset Valuation Method 3 Year Smoothed Market
Actuarial Assumptions
Investment Rate of Return 7.75% (net of administrative expenses)
Projected Salary Increases 3.25% to 13.15% depending on Age,
Service, and type of employment
Inflation 3.00%
Payroll Growth 3.25%
Individual Salary Growth A merit scale varying by duration of
employment coupled with an assumed
annual inflation component of 3.00%
and an annual production growth of
0.25%.

Initial unfunded liabilities are amortized over a closed period that depends on the plan’s
date of entry into CalPERS. Subsequent plan amendments are amortized as a level % of
pay over a closed 20-year period. Gains and losses that occur in the operation of the plan
are amortized over a rolling period, which results in an amortization of 10% of
unamortized gains and losses each year. If the plan’s accrued liability exceeds the
actuarial value of plan assets, then the amortization period may not be lower than the
payment calculated over a 30 year amortization period.

For the safety plan, the unfunded actuarial liability is amortized over a period ending
June 30, 2035. For the miscellaneous plan, the unfunded actuarial liability is amortized
over a period ending June 30, 2035.

The Schedule of Funding Progress below shows the recent history of the actuarial value
of assets, actuarial accrued liability, their relationship, and the relationship of the
unfunded accrued liability to payroll.

In November of 1988, the City of Victorville issued $8,400,000 Variable Rate Demand
Multifamily Housing Revenue Bonds to finance the construction and development of 200
multifamily housing units in the City of Victorville. The outstanding debt at June 30,

(17) Contingencies

The City is subject to litigation arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion
of the City Attorney there is no pending litigation which is likely to have a material
adverse effect on the financial position of the City.

The City participates in several Federal and State grant programs. These programs have
been audited through the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 by the City’s independent
accountants in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Single Audit Act
amendments of 1996, and applicable State requirements. No cost disallowances were
proposed as a result of these audits; however, these programs are still subject to further
examination by the grantors and the amount, if any, of expenditures which may be
disallowed by the granting agencies cannot be determined at this time. The City expects
such amounts, if any, to be immaterial.

whatsoever, or claim to take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension of law now or at any time

principal amount of the Bonds at the time Outstanding; provided, however, that such default shall not
constitute an Event of Default hereunder if the Authority shall commence to cure such default within said
sixty-day period and thereafter diligently and in good faith proceed to cure such default within a
reasonable period of time.

Remedies on Default. Subject to the rights of the Credit Entity and provided that the Credit
Facility is in effect and the Credit Entity is not in default thereunder, upon the occurrence and continuance
of any Event of Default specified in the Indenture, the Trustee, upon the direction of the Credit Entity,
shall proceed, or upon the occurrence and continuance of any Event of Default specified in the Indenture,
the Trustee may proceed (and upon written request of the Credit Entity or upon written request of the
Owners of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding and the
consent of the Credit Entity so long as the Credit Facility remains in effect and the Credit Entity is not in
default thereunder and receipt of indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee, shall proceed), to exercise the
remedies set forth in the Lease or available to the Trustee hereunder; provided, however, that there shall
be no right to accelerate maturities of the Bonds or otherwise to declare any Base Rental not then in
default to be immediately due and payable. Upon the occurrence and continuance of any Event of
Default, the Trustee shall exercise the rights and remedies invested in it by the Indenture with the same

C-14
degree of care and skill as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct
of his or her own affairs.

Application of Revenues and Other Funds After Default. If an Event of Default shall occur and
be continuing, all Revenues and any other funds (other than moneys drawn under any Credit Facility
which shall be deposited into the Credit Facility Account and moneys in the Credit Facility Prepayment
Account, such moneys in both such accounts to be applied only to the payment of principal and interest
on the Bonds) then held or thereafter received by the Trustee under any of the provisions of the Indenture
shall be applied by the Trustee as follows and in the following order of priority:

(1) To the payment of any expenses necessary in the opinion of the Trustee
to protect the interests of the Owners of the Bonds and payment of all reasonable fees, charges
and expenses of the Trustee incurred in and about the performance of its powers and duties under
the Indenture; and

(2) To the payment of the principal of and interest then due on the Bonds
(upon presentation of the Bonds to be paid, and stamping thereon of the payment if only partially
paid, or surrender thereof if fully paid), subject to the provisions of the Indenture, as follows:

First: To the payment to the Persons entitled thereto, including the Credit Entity,
of all interest then due and payable, and, if the amount available shall not be
sufficient to pay in full all such interest, then to the payment thereof ratably,
according to the amounts due thereon, to the Persons entitled thereto, without any
discrimination or preference;

Second: To the payment to the Persons entitled thereto, including the Credit
Entity, of the unpaid principal of any Bonds which shall have become due and
payable, whether at maturity or by call for redemption, in the order of their due
dates, with interest on the overdue principal at the rate borne by the respective
Bonds from the respective dates upon which such Bonds became due and
payable, and, if the amount available shall not be sufficient to pay in full all the
principal of the Bonds due on any date, together with such interest, then to the
payment first of such interest, ratably, according to the amount of interest due on
such date, and then to the payment of such principal, ratably, according to the
amounts of principal due on such date to the Persons entitled thereto, without any
discrimination or preference; and

Third: To the payment of the interest on and the principal of the Bonds, the
purchase and retirement of the Bonds and to the redemption of the Bonds, all in
accordance with the provisions of the Indenture.

(3) To the payment of any obligations due and owing to the Credit Entity
under the Reimbursement Agreement.

Trustee to Represent Bondowners. The Trustee is hereby irrevocably appointed (and the
successive respective Owners of the Bonds, by taking and holding 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, and applicable provisions of
the 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 Bondowners, the Trustee in its discretion may with the consent of the

C-15
Credit Entity so long as the Credit Facility remains in effect and the Credit Entity is not in default
thereunder, and upon the written request of the Owners of not less than a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Bonds then Outstanding and with the consent of the Credit Entity so long as the Credit
Facility remains in effect and the Credit Entity is not in default thereunder, 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 in the Indenture, or in aid of the execution of any power granted in the Indenture, 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 or any law; and upon instituting such proceeding, the Trustee shall be
entitled, as a matter of right, to the appointment of a receiver of the Revenues and other assets pledged
under the Indenture or the Bonds pending such proceedings.

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.

Bondowners’ Direction of Proceedings. Subject to the prior rights of the Credit Entity to direct
proceedings, anything in the Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, 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.

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 or any applicable law with respect to such Bond unless (1) such Owner previously
shall have given to the Trustee and the Credit Entity written notice of the occurrence of an Event of
Default; (2) the Owners of not less than twenty-five percent (25%) in aggregate principal amount of the
Bonds then Outstanding shall have made written request upon the Trustee to exercise the powers 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 in adequate form 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, and in every case, the
Credit Entity shall have approved such request so long as the Credit Facility is in effect and the Credit
Entity is not in default thereunder.

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 Owners of Bonds shall have any right in
any manner whatsoever 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 or applicable law
with respect to the Bonds, except in the manner provided in the Indenture, and that all proceedings at law
or in equity to enforce any such right shall be instituted, had and maintained in the manner provided in the
Indenture and for the benefit and protection of all Owners of the Outstanding Bonds, subject to the
provisions of the Indenture.

C-16
Absolute Obligation of Authority. Nothing in any other provision of the Indenture, or in the
Bonds, contained, shall affect or impair the obligation of the Authority, which is absolute and
unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds to the respective Owners of the Bonds at
their respective dates of maturity or upon call for redemption, as provided in the Indenture, but only out of
the Revenues and other assets pledged therefor, or affect or impair the right of such Owners, which is also
absolute and unconditional, to enforce such payment by virtue of the contract embodied in the Bonds.

Termination of Proceeding. In case any proceedings taken by the Trustee or any one or more
Bondowners on account of any Event of Default shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any
reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee or the Bondowners, then in every such case
the Authority, the Trustee, the Credit Entity and the Bondowners, subject to any determination in such
proceedings, shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, severally and respectively,
and all rights, remedies, powers and duties of the Authority, the Trustee, the Credit Entity and the
Bondowners shall continue as though no such proceedings had been taken.

Remedies Not Exclusive. No remedy in the Indenture conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee
or to the Owners of the Bonds or the Credit Entity is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy or
remedies, and each and every such remedy, to the extent permitted by law, shall be cumulative and in
addition to any other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or
otherwise.

No Waiver of Default. No delay or omission of the Trustee, the Credit Entity or of any Owner of
the Bonds to exercise any right or power arising upon the occurrence of any Event of 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 given by the Indenture to the Trustee, the Credit Entity or to the
Owners of the Bonds may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient.

Rights of Credit Entity. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture, so long as the
Credit Facility is in effect and the Credit Entity is not in default thereunder or any amounts remain owing
to the Credit Entity, the Credit Entity shall be subrogated to the rights of any Owners to the extent that it
has paid the principal or interest represented by the Bonds of such Owners.

Modification or Amendment of Indenture and Lease

Amendments Permitted.

(a) With Consent. After first requesting and obtaining the prior written approval of
the Credit Entity, the Indenture and the rights and obligations of the Owners of the Bonds and the Lease
and the rights and obligations of the parties thereto, may be modified or amended at any time by a
supplement which shall become effective when the written consents of the Owners of at least a majority
in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding, exclusive of Bonds disqualified as provided
in the Indenture, shall have been filed with the Trustee and Moody’s if the Bonds are rated by Moody’s or
S&P if the bonds are rated by S&P. No such modification or amendment shall (1) extend or have the
effect of extending the fixed maturity of any Bond or reducing the interest rate with respect thereto or
extending the time of payment of interest, or reducing the amount of principal thereof or reducing any
premium payable upon the redemption thereof, without the express consent of the Owner of such Bond,
or (2) reduce or have the effect of reducing the percentage of Bonds required for the affirmative vote or
written consent to an amendment or modification of the Indenture or the Lease, or (3) modify any of the
rights or obligations of the Trustee without its written assent thereto. Any such supplemental agreement
shall become effective as provided in the Indenture.

C-17
(b) Without Consent. The Indenture and the rights and obligations of the Owners of
the Bonds, and the Lease and the rights and obligations of the parties thereto, may be modified or
amended at any time by a supplemental agreement, without the consent of any such Owners, but with the
written consent of the Credit Entity and only to the extent permitted by law and only (1) to cure, correct
or supplement any ambiguous or defective provision contained in the Indenture or therein, and which
shall not adversely affect the interest of the Owners of the Bonds, (2) to reflect the comments of S&P
and/or Moody’s in order to maintain any applicable rating on the Bonds, or (3) in regard to matters arising
hereunder or thereunder, as the parties to the Indenture or thereto may deem necessary or desirable and
which shall not adversely affect the interest of the Owners of the Bonds. Any such supplemental
agreement shall become effective upon execution and delivery by the parties to the Indenture or thereto as
the case may be and shall be provided to Moody’s, if the Bonds are rated by Moody’s or S&P, if the
Bonds are rated by S&P.

Procedure for Amendment with Written Consent of Bond Owners. The Indenture or the Lease
may be amended by supplemental agreement in the event the consent of the Owners of the Bonds and the
Credit Entity is required pursuant to the Indenture. A copy of such supplemental agreement, together
with a request to the Owners of the Bonds for their consent thereto, shall be mailed first class mail by the
Trustee to the Credit Entity and to each Owner of a Bond at his address as set forth in the Bond
registration books maintained, but failure to receive copies of such supplemental agreement and request
so mailed shall not affect the validity of the supplemental agreement when assented to as provided in the
Indenture.

Such supplemental agreement shall not become effective unless there shall be filed with the
Trustee the written consent of the Owners of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Bonds then Outstanding (exclusive of Bonds disqualified as provided in the Indenture) and of the Credit
Entity and notices shall have been mailed as provided in the Indenture. Each such consent by the Owners
of the Bonds shall be effective only if accompanied by proof of ownership of the Bonds for which such
consent is given. Any such consent shall be binding upon the Owner of the Bond giving such consent and
on any subsequent Owner (whether or not such subsequent Owner has notice thereof) unless such consent
is revoked in writing by the Owner giving such consent or a subsequent Owner by filing such revocation
with the Trustee prior to the date when the supplemental agreement has become effective.

After the Owners of the required percentage of Bonds and the Credit Entity shall have filed their
consents to such supplemental agreement, the Trustee shall mail a notice to the Owners of the Bonds in
the manner provided in the Indenture for the mailing of such supplemental agreement, stating in substance
that such supplemental agreement has been consented to by the Owners of the required percentage of
Bonds and will be effective as provided in the Indenture (but failure to mail copies of said notice shall not
affect the validity of such supplemental agreement or consents thereto). A record, consisting of the
papers required by the Indenture to be filed with the Trustee, shall be proof of the matters therein stated
until the contrary is proved.

Disqualified Bonds. Bonds owned or held by or for the account of the City or the Authority or by
any person directly or indirectly controlled or controlled by, or under direct or indirect common control
with the City or the Authority (except any Bonds held in any pension or retirement fund) shall not be
deemed Outstanding for the purpose of any vote, consent, waiver or other action or any calculation of
Outstanding Bonds provided for in the Indenture, and shall not be entitled to vote upon, consent to, or
take any other action provided for in the Indenture except that for purposes of determining whether the
Trustee shall be protected in relying on such vote, consent, waiver or other action, only Bonds so owned
of which the Trustee has knowledge shall be disqualified.

C-18
Effect of Supplemental Agreement. From and after the time any supplemental agreement
becomes effective pursuant to the Indenture, the Indenture or the Lease, as the case may be, shall be
deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith, the respective rights, duties and obligations
of the parties to the Indenture or thereto and all Owners of Bonds Outstanding and the Credit Entity, as
the case may be, shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder and thereunder subject
in all respects to such modification and amendment, and all the terms and conditions of any supplemental
agreement shall be deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of the Indenture or the Lease, as the
case may be, for any and all purposes.

The Authority or the Trustee may adopt appropriate regulations to require each Owner, before his
consent provided for in the Indenture shall be deemed effective, to reveal if the Bonds as to which such
consent is given are disqualified as provided in the Indenture.

Endorsement or Replacement of Bonds Delivered After Amendments. The Trustee may


determine that Bonds delivered after the effective date of any action taken as provided in the Indenture
shall bear a notation, by endorsement, in form approved by the Trustee, as to such action. In that case,
upon demand of the Owner of any Outstanding Bond at such effective date and presentation of his Bond
for the purpose at the Principal Office, a suitable notation shall be made on such Bond at the cost of the
Authority. The Trustee may determine that new Bonds, so modified as in the opinion of the Trustee is
necessary to conform to such Bond Owners’ action, shall be prepared, executed and delivered. In that
case, upon demand of the Owner of any Bond then Outstanding, such new Bond shall be exchanged in the
Principal Office, without cost to such Owner, for a Bond of the same character then Outstanding, upon
surrender of such Bond at the cost of the Authority.

Amendatory Endorsement of Bonds. The provisions of the Indenture shall not prevent any Bond
Owner from accepting any amendment as to the particular Bonds held by him, provided that due
notification thereof is made on such Bonds.

Consent of Credit Entity Required. Notwithstanding anything in the Indenture to the contrary, no
amendment or supplement to the Indenture or the Lease shall become effective unless first approved by
the Credit Entity, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Defeasance

Discharge of Indenture. The Bonds may be paid, in whole or in part, by the Authority in any of
the following ways, provided that the Authority also pays or causes to be paid any other sums payable
hereunder by the Authority:

(a) by well and truly paying or causing to be paid the principal of and interest and
redemption premiums, if any, on such Bond, as and when the same become due and payable;

(b) if prior to maturity and having given notice of redemption (which redemption
date shall be the first available redemption date) by irrevocably depositing with the Trustee, in trust, at or
before maturity, an amount of cash which, together with amounts then on deposit in the Lease Payment
Account and available for such purpose, is sufficient to pay in Available Moneys or from the proceeds of
a draw under the Credit Facility all principal of and interest (which shall be calculated at the Maximum
Rate if the Bonds bear interest at a Weekly Rate or Daily Rate) and redemption premiums, if any, on such
Bonds; or

(c) by irrevocably depositing with the Trustee, in trust, noncallable Authorized


Investments described in paragraph (1) or (2) of the definition thereof purchased with Available Moneys,

C-19
or draws under the Credit Facility together with cash, if required, in such amount as will in the opinion of
an independent certified public accountant, together with interest to accrue thereon and moneys then on
deposit in the Lease Payment Account and available for such purpose, together with the interest to accrue
thereon, be fully sufficient to pay and discharge in Available Moneys or draws under the Credit Facility
all principal of and interest (which shall be calculated at the Maximum Rate if the Bonds bear interest at a
Weekly Rate or Daily Rate) and redemption premiums, if any, on such Bond.

If all Outstanding Bonds shall be paid in one or more of the preceding ways, all amounts shall
have been paid to the Credit Entity and all Additional Rental shall have been paid or arrangements
satisfactory to the Trustee shall have been made for the payment of such Additional Rental, then,
notwithstanding that any Bonds shall not have been surrendered for payment, the Indenture and the
pledge of Revenues and other assets made under the Indenture with respect to such Bonds and all
covenants, agreements and other obligations of the Authority and the Trustee under the Indenture with
respect to such Bonds shall cease, terminate, become void and be completely discharged and satisfied,
except only the covenants of the Authority hereunder to comply with the Code and the obligation of the
Trustee to pay or cause to be paid, from Base Rental paid by or on behalf of the City from funds deposited
pursuant to paragraphs (b) and (c) above, to the Owners of the Bonds not so surrendered and paid all sums
due with respect thereto.

Any funds held by the Trustee, at the time of the defeasance of all Outstanding Bonds, which are
not required for payment as required therein, shall be paid over to the Credit Entity to the extent of any
amounts owed under the Reimbursement Agreement, then to the Trustee to pay any amounts owed to the
Trustee under the Indenture, and the remainder, if any, shall be paid over to the City.

During the term of any Credit Facility, prior to or at the time of a deposit pursuant to paragraph
(b) or (c) above, there shall be delivered to the Trustee an opinion of nationally recognized bankruptcy
counsel to the effect that payments to the Owners of Bonds defeased from such Available Moneys or
draws under the Credit Facility on deposit with the Trustee will not constitute avoidable preferences
under Title 11 and Title 9 of the United States Bankruptcy Code upon the occurrence of an Event of
Bankruptcy.

Payment of Bonds After Discharge of Indenture. In any event any Bond shall not be presented
for payment when the principal with respect thereof becomes due, either at maturity, or at the date fixed
for redemption thereof, if moneys sufficient to pay such Bond shall have been deposited in the Credit
Facility Account or if Available Moneys sufficient to pay such Bond shall have been deposited in the
Lease Payment Account, all liability of the Authority to the Owner thereof for payment of such Bond
shall forthwith cease, terminate and be completely discharged, and thereupon it shall be the duty of the
Trustee to hold such moneys, without liability for interest thereon, for the benefit of the Owner of such
Bond who shall thereafter be restricted exclusively to such moneys, for any claim of whatever nature on
his or her part under the Indenture or on, or with respect to, said Bond.

Any moneys so deposited with and held by the Trustee not so applied to the payment of Bonds
within two (2) years after the date on which the same were deposited with the Trustee due shall be paid by
the Trustee to the City. Thereafter, Owners shall be entitled to look only to the City for payment, and
then only to the extent of the amount so disbursed by the Trustee. The City shall not be liable for any
interest on the sums paid to it and shall not be regarded as a trustee or trustees of such money. Any
moneys held shall be held uninvested.

constitute the valid and binding obligations of the City and the Authority enforceable in
accordance with their terms;

above do not interfere with the beneficial use and occupancy of the Substituted Property
described in such policy by the City for the purposes of leasing or using the Substituted Property;

(6) An Opinion of Counsel that the Substitution or Removal does not cause
the interest on the Bonds to fail to be excluded from the gross income of the Owners thereof for
federal income tax purposes;

(7) Evidence that the City has complied with the covenants contained in the
Lease with respect to the Substituted Property;

(8) Evidence that the City has delivered to any rating agency then rating the
Bonds copies of the certificates and appraisal described in clauses (1) and (2) above, and that the
rating agency has indicated that such substitution, in and of itself, will not result in a lower rating
on the Bonds; and

(9) Written Consent of the Credit Entity.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon completion of the City Hall and the
issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy, the Authority and the City may release from the lien hereof and of
any site leases thereon any of the components of the Leased Property listed on Exhibit A to the Lease
whose combined value (using such values as set forth in Exhibit A) is not greater than the difference
between the new insured value of the City Hall and $34,775,000.

(d) Additionally, upon completion of the Cogeneration Project, the Authority and the
City may release the Leased Property shown on Exhibit A to the Lease in whole or in part from the lien
hereof and of any site leases thereon and substitute therefor the Cogeneration Project upon satisfaction of
all of the requirements of this Section.

(e) The City may grant or vacate, or cause the granting or vacating of, any easement
burdening or benefiting the Leased Property, provided that the City shall satisfy the requirements of
subsections (b)(1) through (b)(8) (such requirements understood to pertain to the granting or vacating of
easements instead of the addition or removal of property), which are hereby declared to be conditions
precedent to such grant or vacation. The City shall not be entitled to any reduction, diminution, extension
or other modification of the Base Rental or Additional Rental payments whatsoever as a result of such
granting and/or vacating of easements.

Changes to the Leased Property. Subject to the Lease and with the prior written consent of the
Credit Entity, the City shall, at its own expense, have the right to remodel the Leased Property or to make
additions, modifications and improvements to the Leased Property. All such additions, modifications and
improvements shall thereafter comprise part of the Leased Property and be subject to the provisions of the
Lease. Such additions, modifications and improvements shall not in any way damage the Leased
Property or cause it to be used for purposes other than those authorized under the provisions of state and
federal law; and the Leased Property, upon completion of any additions, modifications and improvements

C-24
made pursuant to the Lease, shall be of a value which is at least equal to the value of the Leased Property
immediately prior to the making of such additions, modifications and improvements.

Title to the Leased Property. During the term of the Lease, title to the Leased Property shall
remain in the City.

Acquisition of Additional Property. The City covenants to use its best effort to acquire such
additional real property as may be necessary or appropriate for the operation of the Leased Property, and,
by executing appropriate amendments, to lease such property to the Authority pursuant to an appropriate
ground lease and to sublease such property from the Authority pursuant to the Lease.

Commencement of the Lease. The term of the Lease shall commence as of May 8, 2007 or the
date the Lease or a memorandum thereof is recorded, whichever is later, and shall end on May 1, 2040,
unless such term is sooner terminated or is extended as provided in the Lease.

If on May 1, 2040, the Indenture shall not be discharged by its terms or if the rental
payable hereunder shall have been abated at any time and for any reason or any amounts remain owing to
the Credit Entity under the Reimbursement Agreement, then the term of the Lease shall be extended until
ten (10) days after all Bonds shall be fully paid and all amounts owing to the Credit Entity under the
Reimbursement Agreement have been paid. If prior to May 1, 2050, the Indenture shall be discharged by
its terms, the term of the Lease shall thereupon
end.

Termination of the Lease. The Lease will terminate upon the earlier of either of the following
events:

(a) a default by the City and the Authority’s election to terminate the Lease ; or

(b) the payment by the City of all Base Rental payments, Additional Rental and all
other amounts authorized or required to be paid by it hereunder.

Tax Covenants. The City shall not use, permit the use of, or omit to use Gross Proceeds or any
other amounts (or any property the acquisition, construction or improvement of which is to be financed
directly or indirectly with Gross Proceeds) in a manner that if made or omitted, respectively, would cause
the interest on any of the Bonds to fail to be excluded pursuant to section 103(a) of the Code from the
gross income of the owners thereof for federal income tax purposes.

Rental Payments. The City agrees to pay to the Authority, its successors or assigns, without
deduction or offset of any kind, as rental for the use and occupancy of the Leased Property, the following
amounts at the following times:

(a) Base Rental. The City shall pay to the Authority as Base Rental hereunder rental
payments with interest and principal components in accordance with the Base Rental Payment Schedule
set forth in Exhibit B attached to the Lease. Base Rental Payments shall be made by the City on the
twenty-fifth day of the month immediately preceding each Bond Payment Date (the “Lease Payment
Date”), which shall be sufficient in both time and amount, taking into consideration any Cogeneration
Project Surplus Revenues deposited in the Lease Payment Account held by the Trustee under the
Indenture, to pay when due the principal of the Bonds, as set forth in Exhibit B, as such Exhibit B may be
amended and supplemented from time to time, together with interest on the Bonds to be calculated by the
Trustee as provided in the Indenture. The interest components of the Base Rental payable by the City

C-25
hereunder shall be paid by the City as and shall constitute interest paid on the principal components of the
Base Rental payable by the City hereunder.

Payment of Base Rental and Additional Rental for each rental payment period during the term of
the Lease shall constitute the total rental for such rental payment period, and shall be paid by the City in
each rental payment period for and in consideration of the right to the use and occupancy, and the
continued quiet enjoyment, of the Leased Property during the rental payment period for which such rental
is paid.

The City shall provide written notice to the Trustee, the Credit Entity and the Authority at least
five (5) Business Days prior to any Lease Payment Date upon which the City expects to be unable to
appropriate and pay the Base Rental payment due on such Lease Payment Date, informing the Trustee
and the Authority of such inability to appropriate and pay.

If the term of the Lease shall have been extended, Base Rental payments shall continue to be due
on Lease Payment Dates, and payable as described in the Lease, continuing to and including the date of
termination of the Lease. Upon such extension of the Lease, the principal and interest components of the
Base Rental shall be established so that the principal components will in the aggregate be sufficient to pay
all unpaid principal components with interest components sufficient to pay all unpaid interest components
plus interest on the extended principal components at a rate equal to the rate of interest on the principal
component of the Base Rental payable on May 1 of the year after the date of such extension.

The parties to the Lease have agreed and determined that the Base Rental payments shown in the
Base Rental Payment Schedule set forth in Exhibit B represent the fair market value of the Leased
Property. In making such determination, consideration has been given to the costs of the Leased
Property, the fair market value thereof, the other obligations of the parties hereunder, the uses and
purposes which may be served by the Leased Property and the benefits therefrom which will accrue to the
City, its residents and the general public.

Each installment of Base Rental and Additional Rental payable hereunder shall be paid in lawful
money of the United States of America to or upon the order of the Authority at the office of the Trustee.
To the extent permitted by law, any such installment of Base Rental or Additional Rental accruing
hereunder which shall not be paid when due shall bear interest at the rate equal to the interest rate
applicable to the delinquent installment of Base Rental or, in the case of Additional Rental (other than
amounts owing to the Credit Entity under the Reimbursement Agreement), the interest rate on the Bonds
on the date the Additional Rental was not paid and in the case of amounts owing to the Credit Entity
under the Reimbursement Agreement, at the rate of interest set forth in the Reimbursement Agreement.
All such delinquent installments of Base Rental and the interest thereon shall be deposited in the Lease
Payment Account of the Debt Service Fund. All such delinquent installments of Additional Rental and
interest thereon shall be paid to the order of the Authority, the Trustee or the Credit Entity.
Notwithstanding any dispute between the Authority, or the Trustee and the City, the City shall make all
rental payments when due hereunder without deduction or offset of any kind and shall not withhold any
rental payments pending the final resolution of such dispute.

(b) Additional Rent. The City shall pay to the Authority as Additional Rental
hereunder such amounts in each year as shall be required by the Authority for the payment in full of
payments to the Credit Entity required by the Reimbursement Agreement (other than reimbursement for
draws on the Credit Facility which are payable from Base Rental), all costs and expenses incurred by the
Authority, and the Trustee in connection with the execution, performance or enforcement of the Lease or
any assignment of the Lease, of the Indenture and of the lease of the Leased Property to the City,
including but not limited to payment of all fees, costs and expenses and all administrative costs of the

C-26
Authority, and the Trustee in connection with the Leased Property, the Lease, and the Indenture and all
taxes, assessments and governmental charges of any nature whatsoever hereafter levied or imposed by
any governmental authority against the Authority, the Leased Property, or the rentals and the other
payments required to be made by the City hereunder. Such Additional Rental shall be billed to the City
by the Authority, or the Trustee from time to time, together with a statement certifying that the amount so
billed has been paid by the Authority, or the Trustee for one or more of the items above described, or that
such amount is then payable by the Authority, or the Trustee for one or more of such items, and all
amounts so billed shall be due and payable by the City within thirty (30) days after receipt of each bill
therefor by the City.

Annual Budgets; Reporting Requirements. The City covenants to take action as may be
necessary to include all such rental payments due hereunder in its annual budgets and to make the
necessary annual appropriations for all such rental payments. For this budgetary purpose, and while the
Bonds bear interest at the Weekly Rate or the Daily Rate, the City shall assume an interest component for
any Fiscal Year equal to the average interest rate borne by the Bonds during the 12 months preceding the
time of consideration, plus 200 basis points. The City shall furnish to the Trustee at least 15 days before
final adoption of the proposed budget for each Fiscal Year a certificate stating that it has included in the
proposed budget all Base Rental and Additional Rental due hereunder in the Fiscal Year covered by such
proposed budget and following adoption of the final budget a certificate stating that the Base Rental and
Additional Rental was included in the final budget as adopted. The City shall file with the Trustee the
certificate regarding adoption of the final budget by July 1 of each year unless the City is permitted by
applicable law to adopt its final budget after such date, and has in fact not adopted its final budget by July
1, in which event, the City will file with the Trustee by July 1 a certificate stating the specified later date
by which the City may adopt its final budget under applicable law and will file with the Trustee by such
specified later date such certificate following such adoption.

To the extent that the amount of any such payment becomes known after the adoption of the
annual budget, such amounts shall be included and maintained in such budget as amended. The City
covenants to take such action as is necessary to include such amounts in a supplemental budget of the
City. The covenants on the part of the City contained in the Lease shall be deemed to be and shall be
construed to be ministerial duties imposed by law and it shall be the ministerial duty of each and every
public official of the City to take such action and do such things as are required by law in the performance
of the official duty of such officials to enable the City to carry out and perform the covenants and
agreements in the Lease agreed to be carried out and performed by the City.

The obligation of the City to pay Base Rental and Additional Rental hereunder shall constitute a
current expense of the City and shall not in any way be construed to be a debt of the City, or the State, or
any political subdivision thereof, in contravention of any applicable constitutional or statutory limitation
or requirements concerning the creation of indebtedness by the City, the State, or any political subdivision
thereof, nor shall anything contained in the Lease constitute a pledge of general revenues, funds or
moneys of the City beyond the Fiscal Year for which the City has appropriated funds to pay Base Rental
and Additional Rental hereunder or an obligation of the City for which the City is obligated to levy or
pledge any form of taxation or for which the City has levied or pledged any form of taxation.

Application of Rental Payments. All rental payments received shall be applied first to the interest
components of the Base Rental payments due hereunder, then to the principal components (including any
prepayment premium components) of the Base Rental payments due hereunder and thereafter to all
Additional Rental due hereunder, but no such application of any payments which are less than the total
rental due and owing shall be deemed a waiver of any default hereunder.

C-27
Rental Abatement. Except to the extent (i) amounts held by the Trustee in the Debt Service Fund,
(ii) amounts received in respect of rental interruption insurance, and (iii) amounts, if any, otherwise
legally available to the Trustee for payments in respect of the Bonds, during any period in which, by
reason of material damage, destruction, title defect or condemnation there is substantial interference with
the use and possession by the City of any portion of the Leased Property, rental payments due hereunder
with respect to such portion of the Leased Property shall be abated proportionately by an amount such
that the portion of Base Rental remaining unabated represents the fair rental value of the remaining
portion of the Leased Property, as calculated by the City and set forth in writing to the Authority, the
Trustee and the Credit Entity. Any abatement of rental payments pursuant to the Lease shall not be
considered an event of default as defined in the Lease. The City waives the benefits of Civil Code
Sections 1932(1), 1932(2) and 1933(4) and any and all other rights to terminate the Lease by virtue of any
such interference and the Lease shall continue in full force and effect. Such abatement shall continue for
the period commencing with the date of such damage, destruction, title defect or condemnation and
ending with the substantial completion of the work of repair or replacement of the portions of the Leased
Property so damaged, destroyed, defective or condemned.

In the event that rental is abated, in whole or in part, due to damage, destruction, title defect or
condemnation of any part of the Leased Property and the City is unable to repair, replace or rebuild the
Leased Property from the proceeds of insurance, if any, the City agrees to apply for and obtain, if
reasonably available, any appropriate state and/or federal disaster relief in order to obtain funds to repair,
replace or rebuild the Leased Property.

Prepayment of Rental Payments.

(a) Prepayment from Net Proceeds. The City may prepay, from Net Proceeds
received by it, all or any portion of the components of Base Rental relating to any portion of the Leased
Property then unpaid, in whole on any date, or in part on any Bond Payment Date in Authorized
Denominations.

(b) Optional Prepayment. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Lease, the
Authority hereby grants an option to the City to prepay in whole or in part the principal components of
Base Rental payments relating to the Leased Property, to the extent, on the dates and at the redemption
prices provided in the Indenture as such provision may be amended from time to time with respect to
conversion to a Fixed Rate. The City shall execute said option by giving written notice to the Trustee
thereof at least 45 days (or such shorter period as approved by the Trustee) prior to the date of redemption
of Bonds from such prepayment and depositing with said notice cash in the minimum amount of (1)
accrued interest on the principal component of Base Rental payments to be prepaid to the date of
redemption of Bonds with the proceeds of such prepayment, plus (2) the principal component of any Base
Rental payments to be prepaid, plus (3) the applicable redemption premium described in the Indenture.

Obligation to Make Rental Payments. The agreements and covenants on the part of the City
contained in the Lease shall be deemed to be and shall be construed to be duties imposed by law and it
shall be the duty of each and every public official of the City to take such action and do such things as are
required by law in the performance of the official duty of such officials to enable the City to carry out and
perform the agreements and covenants contained in the Lease agreed to be carried out and performed by
the City.

THE OBLIGATION OF THE CITY TO MAKE BASE RENTAL PAYMENTS DOES NOT
CONSTITUTE AN OBLIGATION OF THE CITY FOR WHICH THE CITY IS OBLIGATED TO
LEVY OR PLEDGE ANY FORM OF TAXATION OR FOR WHICH THE CITY HAS LEVIED OR
PLEDGED ANY FORM OF TAXATION. NEITHER THE BONDS NOR THE OBLIGATION TO

C-28
MAKE SUCH BASE RENTAL PAYMENTS CONSTITUTES AN INDEBTEDNESS OF THE CITY,
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA OR ANY POLITICAL SUBDIVISION THEREOF WITHIN THE
MEANING OF ANY CONSTITUTIONAL OR STATUTORY DEBT LIMITATION OR
RESTRICTION.

Maintenance of the Leased Property by the City. The City agrees that, at all times during the
term of the Lease, it will, at its own cost and expense, maintain, preserve and keep the Leased Property
and every portion thereof in good repair, working order and condition and that it will from time to time
make or cause to be made all necessary and proper repairs, replacements and renewals. The Authority
shall have no responsibility in any of these matters or for the making of additions or improvements to the
Leased Property.

Taxes, Other Governmental Charges and Utility Charges. The parties to the Lease contemplate
that the Leased Property will be used for public purposes by the City and, therefore, that the Leased
Property will be exempt from all taxes presently assessed and levied with respect to real and personal
property, respectively. In the event that the use, possession or acquisition by the City or the Authority of
the Leased Property is found to be subject to taxation in any form, the City will pay during the term of the
Lease, as the same respectively become due, all taxes and governmental charges of any kind whatsoever
that may at any time be lawfully assessed or levied against or with respect to the Leased Property and any
other property acquired by the City in substitution for, as a renewal or replacement of, or a modification,
improvement or addition to the Leased Property, as well as all gas, water, steam, electricity, heat, power,
air conditioning, telephone, utility and other charges incurred in the operation, maintenance, use,
occupancy and upkeep of the Leased Property; provided, that with respect to any governmental charges or
taxes that may lawfully be paid in installments over a period of years, the City shall be obligated to pay
only such installments as are accrued during such time as the Lease is in effect.

Insurance. The City shall procure or cause to be procured and maintain or case to be maintained
through the term of the Lease for the Leased Property insurance against the following risks in the
following respective amounts:

(1) insurance against loss or damage to the Leased Property or such structure
or item of furniture or equipment caused by fire or lightning, with an extended coverage
endorsement and vandalism and malicious mischief insurance, which such extended coverage
insurance shall, as nearly as practicable, cover loss or damage by explosion, windstorm, riot,
aircraft, vehicle damage, smoke and such other hazards as are normally covered by such
insurance. The insurance required by this paragraph shall be in an amount equal to the
replacement cost (without deduction for depreciation) of improvements located or to be located
on the Leased Property but shall be not less than the principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds
(except that such insurance may be subject to deductible clauses of not to exceed ten percent
(10%) of the amount of any one loss);

(2) rental interruption insurance against the Authority’s loss of income due
to events giving rise to the right of abatement on the part of the City under the Lease in an amount
sufficient to pay the total Base Rental payments attributable to the Leased Property for a 24
month period (measured by the Base Rental payments for the 24 months following the month in
which the insurance commences and assuming for such purpose that interest components will be
payable at a fixed rate of 12% per annum or such lesser amount as may be agreed upon by the
Credit Entity); provided, that the amount of such insurance need not exceed the total remaining
Base Rental payments attributable to the Leased Property;

C-29
(3) workers’ compensation insurance covering all employees working in or
on the Leased Property, in the same amount and type as other workers’ compensation insurance
maintained by the City for similar employees doing similar work; and the City shall also require
any other person or entity working in or on the Leased Property to carry the foregoing amount of
workers’ compensation insurance;

(4) a standard comprehensive public entity liability insurance policy or


policies in protection of the City, the Authority, and their respective directors, officers and
employees and the Trustee, and the Credit Entity as additional insured, indemnifying and
defending such parties against all direct or contingent loss or liability for damages for personal
injury, death or property damage occasioned by reason of the possession, operation or use of the
Leased Property. Such public liability and property damage insurance shall be in the form of a
single limit policy in the amount of not less than three million dollars ($3,000,000), subject to a
deductible clause of not to exceed $250,000, covering all such risks; and

(5) a CLTA standard coverage leasehold policy of title insurance on the


Leased Property in an amount at least equal to the initial aggregate amount of the principal
amount of Base Rental payments issued by a company of recognized standing duly authorized to
issue the same. The title policy or policies shall insure the City’s leasehold estate hereunder with
respect to the Leased Property, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances together with an
endorsement thereto making said policy payable to the Trustee for the benefit of the Owners of
the Bonds and the Credit Entity.

Insurance coverage required by paragraphs (1), (2), (3) and (4) may be maintained as part of or in
conjunction with any other insurance coverage carried by the City, and may be maintained in whole or in
part in the form of insurance maintained through a joint exercise of powers agency created for such
purpose or other program providing pooled insurance.

Notwithstanding the above provisions, as an alternative to providing the insurance required by


paragraphs (1), (3) and (4) above, with the prior written consent of the Credit Entity, the City may provide
a self-insurance method or plan of protection. Any such self-insurance maintained by the City pursuant to
the foregoing sections, shall be similar in nature and scope to self-insurance programs maintained by
other California cities of comparable size and operations, and shall be reviewed annually by an Insurance
Consultant.

Any insurance policy issued pursuant to the Lease shall be so written or endorsed as to make
losses, if any, payable to the City, the Authority, the Credit Entity and the Trustee as their respective
interests may appear and the net proceeds of the insurance required in the Lease shall be applied as
provided in the Lease. The net proceeds, if any, of the insurance policy described in the Lease shall be
payable to the Trustee and deposited in the Debt Service Fund. Each insurance policy shall contain a
provision to the effect that the insurance company shall not cancel the policy or modify it materially and
adversely to the interests of the Authority, the Credit Entity or the Trustee without first giving written
notice thereof to the Authority, the Credit Entity and the Trustee at least sixty (60) days in advance of
such intended cancellation or modification; provided, that the Trustee shall not be responsible for the
sufficiency of any insurance required in the Lease and shall be fully protected in accepting payment on
account of such insurance or any adjustments, compromise or settlement of any loss agreed to by it.

The City shall file a certificate with the Trustee and the Credit Entity not later than September 1
of each year certifying that the insurance required is in full force and effect and that the Trustee and the
Credit Entity are named as loss payees and additional insureds on each insurance policy which the Lease
requires to be so endorsed.

C-30
Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, the City shall not be required to maintain or
cause to be maintained more insurance than is specifically referred to above or any policies of insurance
other than standard policies of insurance with standard deductibles offered by reputable insurers at a
reasonable cost on the open market.

Advances. In the event the City shall fail to maintain the full insurance coverage required hereby
or shall fail to keep the Leased Property in good repair and operating condition, the Authority may (but
shall be under no obligation to) purchase the required policies of insurance and pay the premiums on the
same or may make such repairs or replacements as are necessary and provide for payment thereof; and all
amounts so advanced therefor by the Authority shall become Additional Rental, which amounts the City
agrees to pay within thirty (30) days of a written request therefor, together with interest thereon at the
maximum rate allowed by law.

Damage, Destruction, Title Defect and Condemnation; Use of Net Proceeds. If prior to the
termination of the term of the Lease (a) the Leased Property or any portion thereof is destroyed (in whole
or in part) or is damaged by fire or other casualty; or (b) title to, or the temporary use of, the Leased
Property or any portion thereof or the estate of the City or the Authority in the Leased Property or any
portion thereof is defective or shall be taken under the exercise of the power of eminent domain by any
governmental body or by any person or firm or corporation acting under governmental authority, then the
City shall, as expeditiously as possible, continuously and diligently cause the repair or replacement
thereof (unless the City elects not to repair or replace), and the City and the Authority will cause the Net
Proceeds remaining after such work has been completed to be paid to the City; provided, that the City, at
its option with the prior written consent of the Credit Entity and provided that the proceeds of such
insurance or condemnation award together with any other moneys then available for the purpose are at
least sufficient to prepay aggregate annual amounts of principal and interest on any Outstanding Bonds
attributable to the Base Rental payments with respect to that portion of the Leased Property so destroyed,
damaged, defective or condemned (determined by reference to the proportion which the fair rental value
of the destroyed, damaged, defective or condemned portion thereof bears to the fair rental value of the
entire Leased Property), may elect not to repair, reconstruct or replace the damaged, destroyed, defective
or condemned portion of the Leased Property and thereupon shall cause said Net Proceeds to be used for
the redemption of Outstanding Bonds pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture.

In the event that the Net Proceeds, if any, are insufficient either to (i) repair, rebuild or replace the
Leased Property so that the fair rental value of the Leased Property would be at least equal to the Base
Rental payments or (ii) to prepay the Outstanding Bonds, both as provided in the preceding paragraph,
then the City may, in its sole discretion, budget and appropriate an amount necessary to effect such repair,
rebuilding or replacement or prepayment; provided that the failure of the City to so budget and/or
appropriate shall not be a breach of or default under the Lease.
Assignment by Authority. The parties understand that certain of the rights of the Authority, as
assignee hereunder, will be assigned to the Trustee pursuant to the Assignment Agreement, and
accordingly the City agrees to make all payments due hereunder to the Trustee, notwithstanding any
claim, defense, setoff or counterclaim whatsoever (whether arising from a breach of the Lease or
otherwise) that the City may from time to time have against the Authority or the Trustee. The City agrees
to execute all documents, including notices of assignment or financing statements which may be
reasonably requested by the Authority or the Trustee to protect their interests in the Leased Property
during the term of the Lease.

Assignment by City and Sublease. The Lease and the interest of the City in the Leased Property
may not be assigned or encumbered by the City except with the written consent of the Credit Entity and
except as provided in the Lease. The City may sublease all or any portion of the Leased Property in

C-31
connection with the issuance by the Authority or additional bonds for the purpose of completing and/or
making improvements to the Project. The City shall at all times remain liable for the performance of the
covenants and conditions on its part to be performed under the Lease. Nothing contained in the Lease
shall be construed to relieve the City from its obligation to pay Base Rental and Additional Rental as
provided in the Lease or to relieve the City from any other obligations contained in the Lease.

Indemnification. The City shall, to the full extent then permitted by law, indemnify, protect, hold
harmless, save and keep harmless the Authority, the Trustee, and their respective directors, officers,
employees, attorneys, consultants, receivers and agents from and against any and all liability, obligations,
losses, claims and damages whatsoever, regardless of the cause thereof, and expenses in connection
therewith, including, without limitation, counsel fees and expenses, penalties and interest arising out of or
as the result of the entering into of the Lease or the Indenture, or any accident in connection with the
operation, use, condition or possession of the Leased Property or any portion thereof resulting in damage
to property or injury to or death to any person including, without limitation, any claim alleging latent and
other defects, whether or not discoverable by the City or the Authority; any claim for patent, trademark or
copyright infringement, any claim arising out of strict liability in tort, and any claim arising out of the use,
presence, storage, disposal or release of any Hazardous Substances on or about the Leased Property. The
indemnification arising under the Lease shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the full
payment of all obligations hereunder or the termination of the Lease for any reason. The City and the
Authority mutually agree to promptly give notice to each other of any claim or liability hereby
indemnified against following either’s learning thereof.

Default.

(a) The following events shall be events of default under the Lease:

(i) the City shall fail to pay any item of Additional Rental as and when the
same shall become due and payable pursuant to the Lease; or

(ii) the City shall fail to deposit with the Trustee any Base Rental payment
required to be so deposited by the close of business on the day such deposit is required pursuant
to the Lease, provided, that failure to deposit any Base Rental payments abated pursuant to the
Lease shall not constitute an event of default;

(iii) the City shall breach any other terms, covenants or conditions contained
in the Lease, and shall fail to remedy any such breach with all reasonable dispatch within a period
of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from the Authority, the Trustee or the Credit Entity
to the City; provided, however, that if the failure stated in the notice cannot be corrected within
such period, then the Authority shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to an extension of
such time if corrective action is instituted by the City within such period and is diligently pursued
until the default is corrected.

(b) In addition to any default resulting from breach by the City of any agreement,
condition, covenant or term of the Lease, if (1) the City’s interest in the Lease or any part thereof be
assigned, sublet or transferred without the written consent of the Authority and the Credit Entity, either
voluntarily or by operation of law; or (2) the City or any assignee shall file any petition or institute any
proceedings under any act or acts, state or federal, dealing with or relating to the subject of bankruptcy or
insolvency or under any amendment of such act or acts, either as a bankrupt or as an insolvent or as a
debtor or in any similar capacity, wherein or whereby the City asks or seeks or prays to be adjudicated a
bankrupt, or is to be discharged from any or all of its debts or obligations, or offers to its creditors to
effect a composition or extension of time to pay its debts, or asks, seeks or prays for a reorganization or to

C-32
effect a plan of reorganization or for a readjustment of its debts or for any other similar relief, or if the
City shall make a general or any assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or (3) the City shall abandon
or vacate the Leased Property or any portion thereof; then in each and every such case the City shall be
deemed to be in default hereunder.

Upon the happening of any of the events specified in subsection (a) or (b) (in either case an
“Event of Default”), then it shall be lawful for the Authority to exercise any and all remedies available or
granted to it pursuant to law or hereunder. Upon the breach of any agreement, condition, covenant or
term contained in the Lease required to be observed or performed by the City, the Authority may, with the
consent of the Credit Entity, or at the direction of the Credit Entity, shall exercise any and all rights of
entry upon or repossession of the Leased Property, and also, at its option, with or without such entry,
may, with the consent of the Credit Entity, or at the direction of the Credit Entity, shall terminate the
Lease; provided, that no termination shall be effected either by operation of law or acts of the parties to
the Lease except upon express written notice from the Authority to the City terminating the Lease, as
provided below. In the event of such default and notwithstanding any entry by the Authority, the
Authority may at any time thereafter (with or without notice and demand and without limiting any other
rights or remedies the Authority may have):

(1) Maintain the Lease in full force and effect and recover rent and other
monetary charges as they become due without terminating the City’s right to possession of the
Lease Property, regardless of whether or not the City has abandoned the Leased Property. In the
event the Authority elects not to terminate the Lease, it shall have the right and the City hereby
irrevocably appoints the Authority as its agent and attorney-in-fact for such purpose to attempt to
relet the Lease Property at such rent, upon such conditions and for such term, so long as the
Trustee obtains an Opinion of Counsel that the tax-exempt status of the interest components of
Base Rental payments will be preserved, and to do all other acts to maintain or preserve the
Leased Property, including removal of persons or property therefrom or taking possession
thereof, as the Authority deems desirable or necessary, and the City hereby waives any and all
claims for any damages that may result to the Leased Property thereby; provided, that no such
actions shall be deemed to terminate the Lease and the City shall continue to remain liable for any
deficiency that may arise out of such reletting, taking into account expenses incurred by the
Authority due to such reletting, payable at the same time and manner as provided for Base Rental
in the Lease.

(2) Terminate the City’s right to possession of the Leased Property by giving
a written notice of termination to the City. On the date specified in such notice (which shall be
not less than three (3) days after the giving of such notice) the City’s right to possession under the
Lease shall terminate and the City shall surrender possession of the Lease Property, as the case
may be, to the Authority, unless on or before such date all arrears of rental and all other sums
payable by the City hereunder, and all costs and expenses incurred by or on behalf of the
Authority hereunder, including attorney’s fees incurred in connection with such defaults, shall
have been paid by the City and all other defaults or breaches hereunder by the City at the time
existing shall have been fully remedied to the satisfaction of the Authority. Upon such
termination, the Authority may recover, in addition to all other damages available by contract or
at law, to the extent permitted by law, from the City: (i) the worth at the time of award of the
unpaid rental which had been earned at the time of termination; and (ii) the worth at the time of
award of the amount by which the unpaid rental which would have been earned after termination
until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that the City proves could have
been reasonably avoided. The “worth at the time of award” of the amounts referred to in clauses
(i) and (ii) above is computed by allowing interest at the rate of twelve per cent (12%) per annum.

C-33
Without otherwise limiting any of the rights or remedies of the Authority set forth in the Lease,
the Authority expressly waives the right to receive any amount from the City pursuant to Section
1951.2(a)(3) of the California Civil Code.

Each and all of the remedies given to the Authority hereunder or by any law now existing or
hereafter enacted are cumulative and the exercise of any one remedy shall not impair the right of the
Authority to any or all other remedies.

(c) Neither the City nor the Authority shall be in default in the performance of any of
its obligations hereunder (except for the obligation to pay Base Rental and Additional Rental pursuant to
the Lease) unless and until it shall have failed to perform such obligation within thirty (30) day after
notice by the City or the Authority, as the case may be, to the other party properly specifying wherein it
has failed to perform such obligation.

APPENDIX D

BOOK-ENTRY ONLY SYSTEM

The information in this section concerning DTC and DTC’s book-entry system has been obtained
from sources that the Authority believes to be reliable, but the Authority takes no responsibility for the
accuracy thereof.

The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), New York, NY, will act as securities depository for the
Bonds. The Bonds will be issued as fully-registered securities registered in the name of Cede & Co.
(DTC’s partnership nominee) or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of
DTC. One fully-registered Bond will be issued for each maturity of the Bonds, in the aggregate principal
amount of such maturity, and will be deposited with DTC.

DTC, the world’s largest depository, is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New
York Banking Law, a “banking organization” within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a
member of the Federal Reserve System, a “clearing corporation” within the meaning of the New York
Uniform Commercial Code, and a “clearing agency” registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC holds and provides asset servicing for over 2.2 million
issues of U.S. and non-U.S. issues, corporate and municipal debt issues, and money market instruments
from over 100 countries that DTC’s participants (“Direct Participants”) deposit with DTC. DTC also
facilitates the post-trade settlement among Direct Participants of sales and other securities transactions in
deposited securities through electronic computerized book-entry transfers and pledges between Direct
Participants’ accounts. This eliminates the need for physical movement of securities certificates. Direct
Participants include both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies,
clearing corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The
Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (“DTCC”). DTCC, in turn, is owned by a number of Direct
Participants of DTC and Members of the National Securities Clearing Corporation, Fixed Income
Clearing Corporation, and Emerging Markets Clearing Corporation (NSCC, FICC, and EMCC, also
subsidiaries of DTCC), as well as by the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., the American Stock Exchange
LLC, and the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Access to the DTC system is also available
to others such as both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, and
clearing corporations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant,
either directly or indirectly (“Indirect Participants”). DTC has Standard & Poor’s highest rating: AAA.
The DTC Rules applicable to its Participants are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
More information about DTC can be found at www.dtcc.com and www.dtc.org.

Purchases of Bonds under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct Participants,
which will receive a credit for the Bonds on DTC’s records. The ownership interest of each actual
purchaser of each Bond (“Beneficial Owner”) is in turn to be recorded on the Direct and Indirect
Participants’ records. Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their
purchase. Beneficial Owners are, however, expected to receive written confirmations providing details of
the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct or Indirect Participant
through which the Beneficial Owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the
Bonds are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Direct and Indirect Participants acting on
behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership
interests in Bonds, except in the event that use of the book-entry system for the Bonds is discontinued.

To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Bonds deposited by Direct Participants with DTC are
registered in the name of DTC’s partnership nominee, Cede & Co., or such other name as may be
requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of Bonds with DTC and their registration
in the name of Cede & Co. or such other DTC nominee do not effect any change in beneficial ownership.

D-1
DTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the Bonds; DTC’s records reflect only the
identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such Bonds are credited, which may or may not be
the Beneficial Owners. The Direct and Indirect Participants will remain responsible for keeping account
of their holdings on behalf of their customers.

Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct


Participants to Indirect Participants, and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial
Owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory
requirements as may be in effect from time to time.

Redemption notices shall be sent to DTC. If less than all of the Bonds within an issue are being
prepaid, DTC’s practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in such
issue to be prepaid.

Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (nor any other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to
Bonds unless authorized by a Direct Participant in accordance with DTC’s Procedures. Under its usual
procedures, DTC mails an Omnibus Proxy to the Authority (or the Trustee on behalf thereof) as soon as
possible after the record date. The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede & Co.’s consenting or voting rights to
those Direct Participants to whose accounts Bonds are credited on the record date (identified in a listing
attached to the Omnibus Proxy).

Redemption proceeds, distributions, and dividend payments on the Bonds will be made to Cede &
Co., or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. DTC’s practice
is to credit Direct Participants’ accounts upon DTC’s receipt of funds and corresponding detail
information from the Authority or Trustee, on payable date in accordance with their respective holdings
shown on DTC’s records. Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing
instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in
bearer form or registered in “street name,” and will be the responsibility of such Participant and not of
DTC nor its nominee, Trustee, or the Authority, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as
may be in effect from time to time. Payment of redemption proceeds, distributions, and dividend
payments to Cede & Co. (or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of
DTC) is the responsibility of the Authority or Trustee, disbursement of such payments to Direct
Participants will be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial
Owners will be the responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants.

A Beneficial Owner shall give notice to elect to have its Bonds purchased or tendered, through its
Participant, to the Trustee, and shall effect delivery of such Bonds by causing the Direct Participant to
transfer the Participant’s interest in the Bonds, on DTC’s records, to the Trustee. The requirement for
physical delivery of Bonds in connection with an optional tender or a mandatory purchase will be deemed
satisfied when the ownership rights in the Bonds are transferred by Direct Participants on DTC’s records
and followed by a book-entry credit of tendered Bonds to the Trustee’s DTC account.

DTC may discontinue providing its services as depository with respect to the Bonds at any time
by giving reasonable notice to the Authority or Trustee. Under such circumstances, in the event that a
successor depository is not obtained, Bonds are required to be printed and delivered.

The Authority may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry transfers through DTC
(or a successor securities depository). In that event, Bonds will be printed and delivered.

Victorville Joint Powers Financing Authority


Variable Rate Lease Revenue Bonds, 2007 Series A
(Cogeneration Facility Project)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as bond counsel to the Victorville Joint Powers Financing Authority, a joint
exercise of powers entity established under the Constitution and laws of the State of California (the
“Issuer”), in connection with the issuance of $83,770,000 aggregate principal amount of its Variable Rate
Lease Revenue Bonds, 2007 Series A (Cogeneration Facility Project) (the “Bonds”).

The Bonds are being issued pursuant to Article 4 of Chapter 5 of Division 7 of Title 1 of the
California Government Code and an Indenture, dated as of May 1, 2007 (the “Indenture”), by and
between the Issuer and The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”). The
Bonds are payable from Revenues, as defined in the Indenture, consisting primarily of Base Rental
Payments to be made by the City of Victorville, California (the “City”) pursuant to a Lease Agreement,
dated as of May 1, 2007 (the “Lease”), by and between the Issuer and the City. The City has leased the
real property and improvements encumbered by the Lease to the Issuer pursuant to a Site Lease, dated as
of May 1, 2007 (the “Site Lease”), by and between the City and the Issuer. A portion of the real property
and improvements thereon leased to the Authority has been leased to the City pursuant to a Site Lease
(the “Park Site Lease”), dated as of May 1, 2007, by and between the City and the Victorville Recreation
and Park District (the “Park District”) and pursuant to a Site Lease (the “Fire Site Lease” and, together
with the Park Site Lease, the “District Site Leases”), dated as of May 1, 2007, by and between the City
and the Victorville Fire Protection District (the “Fire District”). Capitalized terms used herein and not
otherwise defined shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture or the Lease, as applicable.

As bond counsel, we have examined copies certified to us as being true and complete copies of
the proceedings of the Issuer and the City in connection with the issuance of the Bonds. We have also
examined such certificates of officers of the Issuer and the City and others as we have considered
necessary for the purposes of this opinion.

Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

1. The Indenture has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by
the Issuer and, assuming such Indenture constitutes the legally valid and binding obligation of the

E-1
Trustee, constitutes the legally valid and binding obligation of the Issuer, enforceable against the
Issuer in accordance with its terms.

2. The Lease has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by the
City and the Issuer, and constitutes the legally valid and binding obligation of the City and the
Issuer, enforceable against the City and the Issuer in accordance with its terms.

3. The Site Lease has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by
the Issuer and the City, and constitutes the legally valid and binding obligation of the Issuer and
the City, enforceable against the Issuer and the City in accordance with its terms.

4. The District Site Leases have been duly and validly authorized, executed and
delivered by the City, the Park District and the Fire District and constitute the legally valid and
binding obligations of the City, the Park District and the Fire District enforceable against the
City, the Park District and the Fire District in accordance with their terms.

5. The Bonds constitute valid and binding limited obligations of the Issuer as
provided in the Indenture, and are entitled to the benefits of the Indenture.

6. The Bonds are secured by a valid pledge of the Revenues and all moneys in the
Revenue Fund and the Reserve Fund, including all amounts derived from the investment of such
moneys, subject to the application thereof on the terms and conditions as set forth in the
Indenture.

7. The Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”) imposes certain requirements
that must be met subsequent to the issuance and delivery of the Bonds for interest thereon to be
and remain excluded from the gross income of the owners thereof for federal income tax
purposes. Noncompliance with such requirements could cause the interest on the Bonds to be
included in gross income retroactive to the date of issue of the Bonds. The Issuer has covenanted
in the Indenture to maintain the exclusion of interest on the Bonds from the gross income of the
owners thereof for federal income tax purposes.

In our opinion, under existing law, interest on the Bonds is exempt from personal income
taxes of the State of California and, assuming compliance with the aforementioned covenant,
interest on the Bonds is excluded pursuant to section 103(a) of the Code from the gross income of
the owners thereof for federal income tax purposes.

We are further of the opinion that under existing statutes, regulations, rulings and court
decisions, the Bonds are not “specified private activity bonds” within the meaning of section
57(a)(5) of the Code and, therefore, that interest on the Bonds will not be treated as an item of tax
preference for purposes of computing the alternative minimum tax imposed by section 55 of the
Code. The receipt or accrual of interest on Bonds owned by a corporation may affect the
computation of the alternative minimum taxable income, upon which the alternative minimum tax
is imposed, to the extent that such interest is taken into account in determining the adjusted
current earnings of that corporation (75 percent of the excess, if any, of such adjusted current
earnings over the alternative minimum taxable income being an adjustment to alternative
minimum taxable income (determined without regard to such adjustment or to the alternative tax
net operating loss deduction)).

Except as stated in the preceding three paragraphs, we express no opinion as to any


federal or state tax consequences of the ownership or disposition of the Bonds. Furthermore, we
express no opinion as to any federal, state or local tax law consequences with respect to the

E-2
Bonds, or the interest thereon, if any action is taken with respect to the Bonds or the proceeds
thereof predicated or permitted upon the advice or approval of other bond counsel.

The opinions expressed in paragraphs 1, 2, 3 and 4 above are qualified to the extent the
enforceability of the Indenture, the Lease, the Site Lease and the Bonds may be limited by applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, debt adjustment, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws or equitable
principles relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally or as to the availability of any particular
remedy. The enforceability of the Indenture, the Lease, the Site Lease and the Bonds is subject to the
effect of general principles of equity, including, without limitation, concepts of materiality,
reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing, to the possible unavailability of specific performance or
injunctive relief, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law, and to the
limitations on legal remedies against governmental entities in California. We advise you that we have not
made or undertaken to make any investigation of the state of title to any of the real property or ownership
of any property described in the Lease and the Site Lease, or of the accuracy or sufficiency of the
description of such property contained therein, and we express no opinion with respect to such matters.

No opinion is expressed herein on the accuracy, completeness or sufficiency of the Official


Statement or other offering material relating to the Bonds.

We call attention to the fact that the opinions expressed herein and the exclusion from gross
income of the interest on the Bonds as described above may be affected by actions taken or omitted or
events occurring or not occurring after the date hereof. We have not undertaken to determine, or to
inform any person or entity, whether any such actions or events are taken, omitted, occur or fail to occur.

Our opinions are based on existing law, which is subject to change. Such opinions are further
based on our knowledge of facts as of the date hereof. We assume no duty to update or supplement our
opinions to reflect any facts or circumstances that may thereafter come to our attention or to reflect any
changes in any law that may thereafter occur or become effective. Moreover, our opinions are not a
guarantee of result and are not binding on the Internal Revenue Service; rather, such opinions represent
our legal judgment based upon our review of existing law that we deem relevant to such opinions and in
reliance upon the representations and covenants referenced above.

Very truly yours,

E-3
