Empire Economics 10 Release Date: February 2, 2006 RECENT/EXPECTED ECONOMIC TRENDS/PATTERNS The purpose of this section is to discuss the recent/expected economic trends/patterns for the United States (US), California (CA), and Riverside County (RC), including Gross Domestic Product, employment, housing starts, mortgage rates and gas prices. Recent /Expected Real Gross Domestic Product Trends/Patterns With regards to the recent/expected growth rates for Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for the United States economy, they are as follows: • During 1999 and 2000, real GDP increased at strong rates of by 4.50% and 3.70%, respectively. • Then, in 2001 and 2002, as the economy slowed, real GDP increased by only 0.80% and 1.60%, respectively. • In 2003 and 2004, as the economy rebounded, real GDP increased by some 2.70% and 4.20%, respectively. • For 2005, real GDP growth moderated somewhat to a rate of 3.38%. • For 2006, real GDP is expected to moderate further to a rate of some 2.85%. Next, with respect to the actual/expected rates of change for the various components of real GDP for 2005 as compared to 2006 are as follows: • Consumption, which increased at some 3.58% in 2005 is expected to moderate to a rate of some 2.78% in 2006. • Business investment, which increased at some 7.15% in 2005 is expected to moderate to 4.83% in 2006. • Finally, with respect to government purchases, which grew at a rate of 1.88% in 2005 are expected to increase by 2.13% in 2006. Therefore, comparing the rates of growth for the various components of real GDP for 2006 as compared to 2005 reveals that the overall rate of growth is expected to moderate somewhat while among the various sectors, consumption and investment are expected to moderate while the rate of growth for government spending rises. UNITED STATES REAL GDP AND ITS COMPONENTS: ANNUALLY Empire Economics 11 Release Date: February 2, 2006 Recent/Expected Employment Trends/Patterns With regards to the recent/expected growth rates for employment, these are now discussed for the United States, California, and Riverside-San Bernardino counties economies. For the United States economy, the recent trends/patterns for employment have been as follows: • In 1999 and 2000, employment growth was strong, some 2.44% and 2.20%, respectively. • Then, in 2001, due to the economic slowdown, employment was virtually stable. • For 2002, employment declined by -1.13%, followed by a decrease of -0.26% in 2003. • In 2004, as the economy moved into its recovery phase, employment rose by some 1.13%. • For 2005, as the economy expanded further, employment rose by 1.64%. • For 2006, as the economy slows, employment growth is expected to moderate to 1.25% California's employment followed a generally similar pattern: • Strong rates of employment growth in 1999 and 2000 of 2.90% and 3.50%, respectively. • Then in 2001, employment rose only moderately, some 0.80%. • However, in 2002 to 2003, employment declined to -0.99% and -0.45%, respectively. • For 2004, the economy moved into a recovery, with an employment gain of 1.02%. • In 2005, the economy had stronger growth, with employment rising at a rate of 1.54%. • For 2006, as the economy slows, employment growth is expected to moderate to 1.10% Riverside-San Bernardino (R-SB) counties, on a comparative basis, have performed favorably: • R-SB counties experienced strong, though diminishing, rates of employment growth during 1999-2002, from 6.44% in 1999 to 3.38% in 2002. • Employment growth moderated in 2003, with a growth rate of 3.26%. • Then, in 2004, employment rose at higher level of some 4.60%. • For 2005, employment growth moderated to a rate of some 2.00%. • For 2006, the rate of employment growth is expected to moderate further, to some 1.45% Therefore, during 2006, the United States, California and R-SB counties economies are all expected to experience lower rates of employment growth. UNITED STATES, CALIFORNIA & RIVERSIDE -SAN BERNARDINO COUNTIES RECENT/EXPECTED EMPLOYMENT TRENDS: ANNUALLY Empire Economics 12 Release Date: February 2,2006 Recent/Expected Trends/Patterns for Housing Starts With regards to the recent trends and patterns for housing starts, they are as follows: • The United States housing market experienced a strong growth during the 2000 to 2005 time period, with the number of new homes rising from 1,573,400 in 2000 to 2,044,125 in 2005. For 2006, the United States housing market is expected to moderate to some 1,803,550 new homes, due to the combined impacts of a slowing economy as well as higher mortgage rates. • For the California housing market, housing starts have had strong growth during 1999 to 2005, as the number of new homes rose from 139,073 in 1999 to 212,954 in 2005. The California housing market is expected to decrease somewhat in 2006 to some 183,180 new homes, also as a result of a slowing economy and higher mortgage rates. • Finally, with respect to Riverside County, housing starts rose dramatically during the 1999-2004 time period, from 14,577 homes in 1999 to 35,696 homes in 2005. For 2006, the level of activity is expected to moderate somewhat, to some 29,740 homes, due to the expectation of higher mortgage rates as well as higher gas prices. So, for 2006, the United States, California, and Riverside County housing markets are expected to decline somewhat from their 2005 levels, due primarily to a slowing economy as well as higher levels of mortgage rates as well as higher gas prices. 2,500,000 -V) ULJ (O Q HI 13 — Left: United States ^^^" Right: California Right: Riverside County UNITED STATES, CALIFORNIA AND RIVERSIDE COUNTY HOUSING STARTS: ANNUALLY -^. 4 1999 1,663,100 139,073 14,577 * ^^* — •• 2000 1,573,400 148,540 17,692 __,. .

So, during 2006, financial rates are expected to rise at a faster pace, with an increase in the 10-year Treasury Bond driving up the 15 year fixed rates by some 0.65% while the increases in the federal fund rate by the Federal Reserve Board drives up the 1 year adjustable rate mortgages by some 0.95%. UNITED STATES MORTGAGE RATES: ANNUALLY 9.00% Empire Economics 14 Release Date: February 2, 2006 Recent/Expected Trends/Patterns for Gas Prices in California With regards to the recent/expected annual gas prices per gallon in California, they are as follows: • From 1999 to 2000, California gas prices rose significantly from $1.47 to $1.77, respectively, an increase of some $0.30. • Then, gas prices declined to $1.62 in 2002, a decrease of-$0.12 from $1.74 in 2001. • However, with the invasion of Iraq and uncertainty in the Middle East, California gasoline prices rose dramatically to $2.23 in 2004, an increase of $0.61 from 2002. • For 2005, gas prices rose further to $2.61, an additional increase of some $0.38 from 2004. • For 2006, gas prices are expected to decline slightly, to some $2.51, a decrease of some $0.10 from 2005. So, during 1999 to 2005, California gas prices have risen significantly, by some $1.14 per gallon but they are expected to decline slightly in 2006, by some $0.10. CALIFORNIA GAS PRICES: ANNUALLY $3.00 -, Empire Economics 15 Release Date: February 2, 2006 COMPETITIVENESS OF CFD NO. 03-02 FROM A REGIONAL PERSPECTIVE From a regional perspective, the competitiveness of CFD No. 03-02's forthcoming residential and commercial-retail projects/products are influenced by the development patterns for employment and housing within the Southern California Market Region (MR), and their interrelationships with the CFD No. 03-02 Market Area. Specifically, Business Parks generate industrial-office development while Planned Communities generate residential and commercial-retail development; additionally, the flow of traffic between them is facilitated by the freeways and highways. > Expansion of Employment Centers and Business Parks The currently established major employment centers are Orange, San Diego and Los Angeles (OC/SD/LA) counties as well as the western portions of Riverside and San Bernardino counties. Furthermore, there has been some expansion from these into various Business Parks located in the CFD No. 03-02 Market Area, the southwestern portion of Riverside County. Specifically, these Business Parks are situated primarily along Interstates 15 and 215, major north-south freeways that link the western portions of Riverside and San Bernardino counties. The potential for the future expansion of Business Parks depends, to a significant degree, upon their freeway accessibility. ^ The Eastern Transportation Corridor, which links Orange County and western Riverside County, facilitates the expansion of the employment centers into Riverside County. With respect to the expansion of these employment centers in western Riverside County this has occurred primarily along Route 91 as well as Interstates 15 and 215. > Commuting Patterns: Employment Centers to Residential Areas Some of the households employed in the OC/SD/LA and western San Bernardino County employment centers reside in the CFD No. 03-02 Market Area, since it offers moderately priced housing; these commuting patterns are based upon the freeways/highways that link the employment centers to the Market Area. The expansion of the residential centers depends upon accessibility, whether by freeway or secondary roads. * There is strong spillover of housing demand from San Diego County into southwestern Riverside County along Interstates 15 and 215, major north-south freeways that link Riverside and San Diego counties. * Additionally, the completion of the Eastern Transportation Corridor which links Orange County with Riverside County facilitates the commute to the western portion of Riverside County. With respect to commuting in western Riverside County this is based upon the use of Route 91 as well as Interstates 15 and 215.

Lacuna Beach S«n Ufc Rey Hei SOCIOECONOMIC CHARACTERISTICS: CRIME LEVELS AND THE QUALITY OF SCHOOLS When households consider the purchase of a home, the primary factors are the location (relative to their place of employment) and price (within their income/affordability levels). Furthermore, secondary socioeconomic factors that are significant are the safety of the neighborhood as well as the quality of the schools; accordingly, these are now discussed. Crime Levels and Neighborhood Safety To gauge the safety of Riverside County and the CFD No. 03-02 Neighborhood Area, information on crime levels was obtained utilizing the most recently available data from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Index. The FBI Crime Index represents a compilation of crime data using the Uniform Crime Reporting system to ensure reliability and consistency among various geographical areas. The FBI Crime Index has two components for crime: violent crime and property crime. Violent crime consists of murder and non-negligent man-slaughter, forcible rape, robbery, and aggravated assault. Property crime consists of burglary, larceny-theft, motor vehicle theft and arson. For the state of California, approximately 88% of all crimes are property crimes whereas 12% are violent crimes. However, it should be noted that these statistics do not measure the "human or emotional" reactions of individuals to different types of crime. To adjust for the population differences of various geographical areas, Empire Economics divides the crime levels by the population to represent the number of crimes per 1, 000 people. For California, as a whole, the average crime rate is approximately 40.2 per 1,000 people per year. For Southern California the rate is 39.1, which is slightly lower than the state average. While for Riverside County, the rate is 45.0, somewhat higher than for Southern California and also California. With respect to the CFD No. 03-02 Market Area, in particular, the crime rate is some 31.5 per 1,000 people, substantially below the crime rate for Riverside County. RIVERSIDE COUNTY CRIME RATES BY CITY ' DESIGNATES CITY IN THE CFD MARKET AREA Empire Economics 18 Release Date: February 2,2006 Quality of Schools and Education To gauge the quality of schools in Riverside County and the CFD No. 03-02 Neighborhood Area, information was compiled on educational achievement, specifically the SAT I scores. For the Southern California counties, as a whole, the SAT I scores (with 1,600 being the highest possible) were at a level of 1,014 and this is similar to the scores for California as a whole, some 1,015. While for Riverside County, in particular, the SAT I scores amount to 958, somewhat below the overall averages for California and also Southern California. For Riverside County, the average SAT I score was 958. For the school districts in the vicinity of CFD No. 03-02, Temecula and Murrieta, the SAT I scores amounted to 1036 and 1018, respectively, and both of these are higher than the county average. SAT I TEST SCORES: MATH AND VERBAL AVERAGE ( * DESIGNATES SCHOOL DISTRICT IN THE CFD) Therefore, from a socioeconomic perspective, Riverside County has a higher crime rate and a lower educational achievement level than California and also Southern California, as a whole. Within Riverside County, the City of Temecula has a significantly lower crime rate (more desirable) and a generally higher educational achievement levels (also more desirable). So, comparing the CFD No. 03-02 Market Area with Riverside County as a whole reveals that the City of Temecula is regarded as being very desirable from a socioeconomic perspective. Empire Economics 19 Release Date: February 2, 2006 POTENTIAL "FINANCIAL" RISK FACTORS UNDERLYING THE CREDIT QUALITY AND BOND SIZING FOR LAND SECURED FINANCINGS IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA There has recently been a substantial amount of discussion on the potential for a housing market bubble, including remarks of "froth in some local markets" by the former Federal Reserve Board Chairman, Alan Greenspan, based primarily upon the use of exotic mortgage structures; these remarks have dealt with the housing market on a national as well as a regional level. However, developing Planned Communities have characteristics that differentiate them from broader markets: they represent the marketing of new homes to purchasers at current prices that exclusively utilize current mortgage rates and financing structures, and they are also concentrated in particular geographical locations. The purpose of this section is to focus specifically on the potential implications of the recent use of adjustable rate and creative financing techniques that are presently available for home purchasers on the credit quality underlying land-secured financings in Southern California. There has been a fundamental shift in the driving force underlying the recent rates of housing price appreciation, from the historical role of employment growth as the driving force to the recent role of adjustable rate and creative financing techniques as the driving force. These financial factors have been the primary driving force underling the extraordinary rate of housing price appreciation in Southern California of more than 75% since January 2002. Consequently the current levels of housing prices and land values are subject to potentially substantial downward adjustments, due to mortgage rate resets (as mortgages are adjusted from teaser rates to market rates) as well as higher short-term rates (due to rate hikes by the Federal Reserve Board). These adjustments, in turn, may cause a softening in housing prices and land values that could adversely impact the credit quality underlying land-secured financings. Creative financing refers to the use of loan structures other than fixed-rate or 1 year adjustable, including the following: interest only, payment option loans as well as initial teaser rates (below market rates that are offered only for a limited time period) with very low initial payments that result in negative amortizations (higher principal balance), less stringent lending standards such as low/no documentation, and much higher mortgage payment to income ratios, among others. Structural Shift of Factors Underlying Housing Price Appreciation Since January 2002 there has been a fundamental shift in the primary factor underlying housing price appreciation in Southern California; the primary driving force was initially declining mortgage rates as well as the extensive use of adjustable and creative financing as compared to the traditional driving force of strong employment growth. Specifically, the term "driving force" is utilized herein to refer to a SIGNIFICANT CHANGE in a major economic/financial factor that has STRONG DISCERNIBLE IMPACT on housing prices. Empire Economics 20 Release Date: February 2, 2006 January 2002 through June 2003: The rates on fixed 30-year mortgage loans declined to recent historic lows in June 2003, and were a driving force underlying the rate of housing price appreciation of some 13.4% on an annualized basis; however, since June 2003, fixed rate mortgages have been ABOVE their recent historic lows. July 2003 to March 2004: As fixed mortgage rates rose, purchasers shifted to adjustable rate mortgages which offered significantly lower rates, and these were a driving force underlying the rate of housing price appreciation of some 18.8% on an annualized basis; however, since March 2004, adjustable rates have been ABOVE their recent historic lows. April 2004 -Presently: As adjustable mortgage rates rose due to the Federal Reserve Board increasing the federal funds rate, home buyers shifted to various types of creative financial structures, and these were a driving force underlying the rate of housing price appreciation of some 24.1% on an annualized basis; however, since Fall-2005, some lenders have started to tighten their qualification standards. Potential Adjustments for Mortgage Payments The extensive use of adjustable rate mortgages and also creative mortgage structures since June 2003 means that such homeowners have monthly mortgage payments which are subject to significant upward adjustments due to automatic mortgage rate resets as well as potentially higher interest rates: > Mortgage Resets (Stable Mortgage Rates) reflect the changes in mortgage payments that households with adjustable and creative mortgage structures will incur as the initial "teaser" rates are realigned with the current "market" rates. The dollar volume of mortgages subject to resets for the United States mortgage market is expected to increase from $83 billion in 2005 to more that $1 trillion in 2007. > Higher Mortgage Rates would result in even higher monthly payments for homeowners with adjustable rate mortgages as well as creative mortgage structures; the increase in their mortgage payments depends upon the degree to which short-term rates rise. The recent use of adjustable rate and creative financing techniques by home purchasers is especially significant for residential land secured financings, since these financings are predominately for developing Planned Communities that represent the marketing of new homes to purchasers at current prices that exclusively utilize current mortgage rates and financing structures and they are also concentrated in particular geographical locations. Specific Impacts of Rate Resets and Higher Mortgage Rates on the Land Secured Credit Quality To the extent that mortgage payments rise due to various possible combinations of automatic mortgage rate resets as well as potentially higher short-term rates that directly impact adjustable rate and creative mortgages, then the credit quality underlying recent land-secured financings may be diminished in the following ways: Empire Economics 21 Release Date: February 2, 2006 > Lower housing prices resulting in a higher Special Tax to Housing Price Burden for homeowners, possibly in excess of the Issuer's policy of a maximum total tax burden, typically some 1.8% to 2.0% of the initial sales prices, even though these maximums may have been satisfied at the time that the Special Taxes were established. > Significantly lower land values resulting in a reduced Value/Lien ratio, possibly below the Issuer's policy of typically some 3 to 1 or 4 to 1 when the bonds are sold, thereby diminishing the security for bond holders. (The Appraisal for the Bond Issue is valid only for the stated Date of Value; it is not meant to be a prediction of future values.) > Higher levels of Special Tax delinquencies as monthly payments of owners increase resulting in diminishing the maximum Special Tax to the bond debt service coverage ratios for bond holders that may adversely impact the Issuer's ability to meet the debt service payments in a timely manner, possibly resulting in the use of the bond reserve fund. Adjustable rate mortgages (some 79% of current mortgages) have significantly higher delinquency rates than fixed rate mortgages; additionally, homeowners that use adjustable rate mortgages also have higher loan to value ratios as well, some 90% as compared to homeowners with fixed rate loans, some 81%. Accordingly, in arriving at these conclusions, this section systematically discusses the following: 1. Recent Shift in the Primary Factors Underling Housing Price Appreciation 2. Financial Factors "Driving" Recent Housing Price Appreciation 3. Mortgage Rate Resets: Realignment of Adjustable/Creative Loans to Market Rates 4. Mortgage Rate Increases: Potential for Further Federal Reserve Board Rate Hikes 5. Specific Impacts of Higher Mortgage Rates on the Land-Secured Credit Quality This section should not be construed as a forecast that mortgage rates will rise significantly in the foreseeable future; rather, it sets forth the POTENTIAL risk factors that mortgage rate resets as well as higher mortgage mortgage rates along with the near-term policy of the Federal Reserve Board would have on the credit quality underlying land-secured financings. Empire Economics acknowledges that financial markets, due to their high degree of economic efficiency and complexity, are difficult to forecast, and, as such, the use of the term "Potential" Risk Factor is regarded as being appropriate. Empire Economics 22 Release Date: February 2, 2006 1. Recent Shift in the Primary Factors Underlying Housing Price Appreciation The primary factors underlying housing price appreciation in Southern California since January 2002, declining mortgage rates as well as the extensive use of adjustable and creative financing, represent a fundamental shift from the traditional factor, employment growth. Specifically, the term "driving force" is utilized herein to refer to a SIGNIFICANT CHANGE in a major economic/financial factor that has STRONG DISCERNIBLE IMPACT on housing prices. > During 1984-2001 housing price appreciation was driven by employment growth, along with accommodating financial factors, such as stable or somewhat declining mortgage rates. During this time period financial factors played only a secondary role: for instance, during 1991-1993 when employment decreased, housing prices declined, even though mortgage rates fell by more than two percentage points from their 1989-1990 levels. > However, since January 2002, as housing prices escalated at strong rates, the primary fundamental factor, employment growth, has experienced only minimal growth, less than 1% per year, on the average. Instead, housing price appreciation has been driven primarily by financial factors, particularly the use of adjustable rate mortgages and creative financing techniques.

Specifically, the rates of housing price appreciation have been generally similar among all of the Southern California counties, despite their differences in geographic location, employment growth and housing supply. Empire Economics 23 Release Date: February 2, 2006 > The rates of employment growth for the counties varied substantially during 2002 to 2005, from a low of -1.15% per year for Los Angeles County to a high of 4.60% per year for Riverside-San Bernardino counties. > The supply of new housing has also exhibited a wide variation during 2002 to 2005 as compared to 1999-2001, from declines of-26% in Ventura County and -14% in Orange County to increases of 80% in Riverside-San Bernardino counties. Therefore, the financial factors have been so strong that they have effectively overshadowed other possible explanatory factors such as geographical locations, employment growth and housing supply. 2. Financial Factors "Driving" Recent Housing Price Appreciation in Southern California The particular factors that have been the driving forces underlying recent strong rates of housing price appreciation in Southern California during January 2002 through 2005 are now discussed. Specifically, the factors which have driven housing prices since January 2002 started with fixed mortgage rates declining to recent historic lows, then a shift to adjustable rate mortgages, and, most recently, a shift to "creative" mortgage structures. January 2002 to June 2003: Prices Driven by Declining Fixed Rates; Fixed Rates Now Higher > Fixed-rate 30-year mortgage loans declined from 7.00% in January 2002 to a low of 5.23% in June 2003, and were a driving force underlying the rate of housing price appreciation of some 13.4% on an annualized basis. > Since June 2003, rates on fixed rate mortgages have been ABOVE their recent historic lows and, as such, they are no longer considered to be a driving force underlying housing price appreciation.

During the July 2003 to March 2004 time period, adjustable rates were significantly below fixed rates of by some 215 basis points. The use of adjustable rates were a driving force underlying the rate of housing price appreciation of some 18.8% on an annualized basis. > Since March 2004, the rates on adjustable rate mortgages have been ABOVE their recent historic lows, and, as such, they are no longer considered to be a driving force underlying housing price appreciation.

For homeowners with adjustable rate loans, the ratio of their loans to the purchase price of the homes has risen from 85% in 2001 to 90% in 2005, a gain of five percentage points. While for homeowners with fixed-rate mortgages the ratio of their loans to the purchase price of their homes has declined from 87% in 2001 to 81% in 2005, a decrease of six percentage points. So, homeowners with adjustable rate mortgages have substantially higher amounts of mortgage debt (90%) as compared to homeowners with fixed rate mortgages (81%).

These have been the driving force underlying the rate of housing price appreciation of some 24.1% on an annualized basis. Creative financing refers to the use of loan structures other than fixed-rate or 1 year adjustable, including the following: interest only, payment option loans as well as initial teaser rates such as 1% for the first year that results in negative amortizations (higher principal balance), less stringent lending standards such as low/no documentation, and much higher mortgage payment to income ratios, among others. During the 2001 to 2004 time period, for the United States as a whole, there has been a dramatic shift from fixed rate to adjustable rate loans: fixed rate mortgage loans declined from 75% in 2001 to only 19% in 2004. Adjustable rates that were amortized (interest and principal) rose from 20% to 29% while adjustable rates that are interest only (no reduction of principal) rose dramatically, from 5% in 2001 to 53% in 2004.

Specifically, for the same monthly mortgage payment, the use of lower mortgage rates and creative mortgage structures has bolstered housing prices substantially since January 2002.

Mortgage Rate Resets: Realignment of Adjustable/Creative Loans to Market Rates There may be some softness in housing prices and land values even if mortgage rates remain stable during the foreseeable future, as households with various types of "adjustable rate" and "creative" debt structures have their initial teaser rates realigned to the current market rates. The resets are expected to generally result in higher monthly payments for homeowners since both the fixed as well as adjustable rate loans attained their recent historical lows in June 2003 and March 2004, respectively, and, since then, these rates have moved upwards: > Fixed Rate Loans were recently at some 6.32%, some 109 basis points above their recent historic low. > Adjustable Rate Loans were recently at some 5.22%, some 181 basis points above their recent historic lows. With regard to the amount of mortgages that are subject to such resets, based upon data for the United States mortgage market as a whole, these are expected to rise dramatically, from some $0.83 billion in 2005 to more that $1.0 trillion in 2007.

The one-year adjustable loans, which were at their recent historic lows in March 2004, have started to have higher monthly payments, and such loans are now some 181 basis points above their cyclical lows. Empire Economics 28 Release Date: February 2,2006 For instance, a household that entered into an adjustable rate loan in March 2004 with a rate of 3.41% would encounter an approximate adjustment in March 2005 to a rate of 4.23%. This represents an increase of some 82 basis points which results in the household's mortgage payment rising by some 24%. So, for a household with a monthly mortgage payment of some $2,000 per month, their payment would increase to some $2,480 per month. > Creative Mortgage Structures will undergo reset adjustments over time as the starter teaser rates are adjusted to their market rates. Since creative mortgages are typically based upon short-term rates and also have further adjustments due to teaser rates, then the mortgage payments of such households may rise by much more than for adjustable rate mortgages. So, households with adjustable and creative mortgage structures will encounter higher mortgage payments as their initial teaser rates are realigned to the market rates which have significantly higher mortgage payments due to the recent hikes of the federal funds rate by the Federal Reserve Board. For example, the types of adjustments that may occur for various loan structures can be gauged by comparing their initial payments with their payments at the start of year six, after the five year time span during which rates are fixed at a low level; accordingly, these adjustments for various interest rate scenarios are as follows: Mortgage Loan of $500,000 Initial Payments -First Five Years Rates Decline 100 BP Payment: Start of Sixth-Yr. Change from Initial Pymt. Rates Stable Payment: Start of Sixth-Yr. Change from Initial Pymt. Rates Rise 100 BP Payment: Start of Sixth-Yr. Change from Initial Pymt. Fixed Rate 30-Year $2,998 (Interest & Principal) $2,998 0% $2,998 0% $2,998 0% Hybrid ARM Interest Only $2,553 (Interest Only) $2,960 16% $3,260 28% $3,513 38% Option ARM Initial Min. Pymts. $1,608 (Minimum Payments) (Negative Amortization) $3,289 105% $3,575 122% $3,928 144% > Homeowners with fixed rate mortgages can expect stable mortgage payments of some $2,998 per year for the entire term of the loan of 30 years, regardless of what happens to mortgage rates after they originate their loans. > Homeowners with Hybrid ARM Interest Only Loans have lower payments for the initial five years but can then can expect higher mortgage payments starting in year six: from $2,553 to $3,260 (+28%) if rates are stable or, if rates rise by 100 basis points (one percent), from $2,553 to $3,513 (+38%). > Homeowners with Option ARMs that initially make minimum payments (negative amortization) of some $1,608 can expect very significant increases in their monthly payments at the start of year six: from the initial payment of $1,608 to $3,575 (+122%) if rates are stable, or if rates rise by 100 basis points, from $1,608 to $3,928 (+144%). Empire Economics 29 Release Date: February 2, 2006 Additionally, the mortgage delinquency levels for homeowners with adjustable and creative mortgages have traditionally been significantly higher than for homeowners with fixed rate loans. This is typically attributed to homeowners with adjustable rate loans having difficulty with higher mortgage payments as rates rise as well as such households having "low" equity levels (due to higher loan to price ratios as well as negative amortization), and hence less of an incentive to "hold-on" to the home, especially if the rate of appreciation diminishes. During the 2000-2005 time period, the 5.4% delinquency rate for adjustable rate loans has been above the 3.6% delinquency rate for fixed rate loans by some 50% (5.4% vs. 3.6%.).

Mortgage Rate Increases: Potential for Further Federal Reserve Board Rate Hikes Since the financial markets, being very efficient, are difficult to forecast, especially mid-term and longterm rates, it is not the position of Empire Economics to forecast that mortgage rates will rise. Nevertheless, it is worthwhile to explore the potential implications of the Federal Reserve Board continuing its current policy of increasing the federal funds rate, since this directly impacts the shortend of the yield curve, and, in turn, adjustable rate mortgage rates as well as the creative mortgage structures. The Federal Reserve Board, according to some analysts, is expected to raise the federal funds rate to some 4.75%, significantly above its prior level of 1.0% in June 2004; the federal funds rate is presently at 4.50%. Consequently, the primary driving forces underlying the strong rates of housing price appreciation, adjustable rates and creative financing structure, will diminish substantially over time. (Note: Since the recent fixed rate of some 6.32% is some 110 basis points above the recent one-year adjustable rate of 5.22%, even a moderate decline in fixed rates would not become a driving force for further price appreciation because they are significantly higher than adjustable rates.) Empire Economics 30 Release Date: February 2, 2006 Therefore, further increases in the federal funds rate will result in the short-term rates rising, and this, in turn, will cause the following: > Existing Borrowers would have higher monthly payments as adjustable rate mortgages rise and creative teaser rates are realigned to HIGHER market rates, as compared to the current market rates. > New Borrowers would face HIGHER rates, reducing their ability to qualify for loans that support existing prices, thereby placing downward pressure on home prices.

Specific Impacts of Higher Mortgage Rates on the Land-Secured Credit Quality The widespread use of adjustable rate and creative financing for newly developing residential projects have significant implications for the Credit Quality underlying Land Secured Financing: > Special Tax Rates set-forth in the Rate and Method of Apportionment of Special Taxes are based upon current housing prices which have recently realized strong rates of appreciation as a result of the utilization of adjustable and creative financing techniques by home purchasers. Empire Economics 31 Release Date: February 2, 2006 Appraisals are based upon current land values, which, in turn, are derived from current housing prices, that have appreciated at a strong rate in recent years, and so they also reflect the use of adjustable and creative financing techniques. Furthermore, since the value of the land is a residual value, that is, the price of the home less the construction costs of building the home, most of the decline in the price of a home is passed through to the land, since construction costs are relatively stable in the short-run. For example, if a home with an initial price of $400,000 declines to $350,000, a reduction of some -$50,000 or -12.5%, the value of the finished lot for the same sized home declines from $149,000 to $113,600, a reduction of-$35,400 or -23.8%. Similarly, a decline in the price of a home by 25% results in a reduction of the value of a finished lot for the same sized home by some 48%! (Note: The above discussion focuses on the value of a finished lot which includes entitlements and infrastructure infrastructure improvements; by comparison, the value of "raw" land, land without any entitlements or infrastructure improvements, may approach zero.) CHANGES IN HOUSING PRICES AND FINISHED LOT LAND VALUES * LAND VALUES DELCINE AT A FASTER RATE Price $ 400,000 Price $ 400,000 to Price $ 400,000 to Price $ 400,000 to Price $ 400,000 to $375,000 $350,000 $325,000 $300,000 Change in Housing Prices I Change in Finished Lot Value Therefore, the Credit Quality underlying Land Secured Financings reflects the use of current prices and land values, and, as such, includes, among other factors, the underlying use of adjustable and creative loan structures by homeowners. Empire Economics 32 Release Date: February 2, 2006 Consequently, should mortgage rates rise significantly, the Credit Quality of the land secured bonds is subject to substantial weakening due to the following: Lower housing prices resulting in a higher Special Tax to Home Price Burden for homeowners, possibly in excess of the Issuer's policy of a maximum total tax burden, typically some 1.8% to 2.0% of the initial sales prices, even though these maximums may have been satisfied at the time that the Special Taxes were established. Significantly lower land values resulting in a reduced Value/Lien ratio, possibly below the Issuer's policy of typically some 3 to 1 or 4 to 1 when the bonds are sold, thereby diminishing the security for bond holders. (The Appraisal for the Bond Issue is valid only for the stated Date of Value; it is not meant to be a prediction of future values.) Higher levels of Special Tax delinquencies as monthly payments of owners increase resulting in diminishing the maximum Special Tax to the bond debt service coverage ratios for bond holders that may adversely impact the Issuer's ability to meet the debt service payments in a timely manner, possibly resulting in the use of the bond reserve fund. Adjustable rate mortgages (some 79% of current mortgages) have significantly higher delinquency rates than fixed rate mortgages; additionally, homeowners that use adjustable rate mortgages also have higher loan to value ratios as well, some 90% as compared to homeowners with fixed rate loans, some 81%. Therefore, as mortgage rate resets occur to the current market rates, and furthermore, to the extent that mortgage rates rise further, then the Credit Quality for Land Secured financing may be diminished, resulting in Higher Tax Burdens due to lower housing prices, Lower Value/Lien Ratios due to lower land values, and Higher Special Tax Delinquencies due to higher monthly mortgage payments.

Thus, the result of this analysis is the POTENTIAL demand for the residential and commercial-retail projects/products in CFD No. 03-02. Next, the ability of the residential and commercial-retail projects/products in CFD No. 03-02 to respond to this demand is estimated. Specifically, this represents, from a time perspective, when the products will have the infrastructure in place that is required to support their development. So, the result of this analysis is the INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT of the projects/products in CFD No. 03-02, and this reflects their ability to respond to the demand in the marketplace. The following absorption schedules are based upon the critical assumption that the developer, Ashby, USA, LLC, will be able to deliver the parcels to the various builders according to the time schedule that was provided to Empire Economics by Ashby USA, LLC. Specifically, this requires the fulfillment of numerous and complex conditions of development in a timely manner. However, to the extent that the development conditions are not fulfilled in a timely manner, and the delivery of the parcel to the various builders does not occur according to the schedule set-forth by Ashby USA, LLC, then the estimated absorption for the forthcoming projects in CFD No. 03-02 could be substantially delayed. Ashby USA, LLC expects that building permits for the forthcoming projects in Phase II will be released in January 2007. Empire also considered comments provided by the City of Temecula on the Ashby USA, LLC's expected time schedule, and, based upon these, Empire assumed that building permits for the forthcoming projects in Phase II will be released in September 2007. Then, based upon a consideration of the POTENTIAL demand and the INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT, the absorption rate for the residential projects/products in the various market segments are calculated, from the year in which the projects/products are expected to enter the marketplace, and continuing thereafter on an annualized basis, until all of the units are occupied. Accordingly, based upon an analysis of the economic and real estate conditions along with the characteristics of the forthcoming residential product types/projects in CFD No. 03-02, the estimated absorption schedules are as follows: Empire Economics 38 Release Date: February 2, 2006 Phase I is expected to have a total of 515 single-family detached housing units, 29.5% of the total, that are priced at some $507,302 for some 2,783 sq.ft. of living area, on the average, and these are spread among five Planning Areas with three builders, and they are expected to be absorbed at the following rate: 65 homes during July-December 2006 266 homes in 2007 and then the remaining 184 homes in 2008 The development of the projects in Phase I is constrained by the number of building permits that Ashby USA, LLC has available based upon the infrastructure improvements that have been completed thus far. Specifically, the number of permits that are currently available is significantly below the number of building permits that these projects require for their full development. Accordingly, the Empire absorption schedules assume that Ashby USA, LLC allocated the permits among the various builders in a manner that is acceptable to them. Empire has received signed "Acknowledgements" as well as the "Permit Sharing Agreement" from the various builders. * Phase II is expected to have a total of 1,230 single-family homes, 70.5% of the total, that are priced at some $370,000 to $909,990 with living areas of 1,809 to 5,318 sq.ft, and these are spread among fifteen Planning Areas with the only builder being KB Home; accordingly, their estimated absorption schedule, based upon the assumption that building permits are available as of September 2007, is as follows: no homes in 2006 or 2007 328 homes in 2008 another 328 homes in 2009 230 homes in 2010 210 homes in 2011 and then the remaining 134 homes in 2012 Therefore, the 1,745 forthcoming residential units in the CFD No. 03-02 are expected to be absorbed during the July 2006 to December 2012 time period, at a rate of some 328 homes per year, on the average, when most of the projects are on the marketplace. Specifically, the rate of absorption is expected to start at some 65 homes in 2006, as the first projects enter the marketplace, rise to peak levels of 512 homes in 2008, when most of the projects are on the marketplace, decreases to 328, 230 and 210 homes in 2009, 2010, and 2011, respectively, as some of the projects are closed-out, and then, finally, the remaining 134 homes in 2012. With regards to the various commercial-retail project, 15.4 acres, its absorption is based upon the occupancy of the homes in CFD No. 03-02 along with threshold levels required to support commercial centers, and its absorption is expected to occur in 2008. For additional information on the estimated absorption schedules for the residential products in the CFD No. 03-02, please refer to the following table and graph. Empire Economics 39 Release Date: February 2, 2006 Potential Financial Risk Factors The potential financial risk factor reflects the implications of the recent use of adjustable rate and creative financing techniques by home purchasers on the credit quality underlying land-secured financings in Southern California. There has been a fundamental shift in the driving force underlying the recent rates of housing price appreciation, from the historical role of employment growth as the driving force to the recent role of adjustable rate and creative financing techniques as the driving force. These financial factors have been the primary driving force underling the extraordinary rate of housing price appreciation in Southern California of more than 75% since January 2002. Consequently the current levels of housing prices and land values are subject to potentially substantial downward adjustments, due to mortgage rate resets (as mortgages are adjusted from teaser rates to market rates) as well as higher short-term rates (due to rate hikes by the Federal Reserve Board). These adjustments, in turn, may cause a softening in housing prices and land values that could adversely impact the credit quality underlying land-secured financings. Creative financing refers to the use of loan structures other than fixed-rate or 1 year adjustable, including the following: interest only, payment option loans as well as initial teaser rates (below market rates that are offered only for a limited time period) with very low initial payments that result in negative amortizations (higher principal balance), less stringent lending standards such as low/no documentation, and much higher mortgage payment to income ratios, among others. Consequently, to the extent that mortgage payments rise due to various possible combinations of automatic mortgage rate resets as well as potentially higher short-term rates that directly impact adjustable rate and creative mortgages, then the credit quality underlying recent land-secured financings may be diminished in the following ways: > Lower housing prices prices resulting in a higher Special Tax to Housing Price Burden for homeowners, possibly in excess of the Issuer's policy of a maximum total tax burden, typically some 1.8% to 2.0% of the initial sales prices, even though these maximums may have been satisfied at the time that the Special Taxes were established. > Significantly lower land values resulting in a reduced Value/Lien ratio, possibly below the Issuer's policy of typically some 3 to 1 or 4 to 1 when the bonds are sold, thereby diminishing the security for bond holders. (The Appraisal for the Bond Issue is valid only for the stated Date of Value; it is not meant to be a prediction of future values.) > Higher levels of Special Tax delinquencies as monthly payments of owners increase resulting in diminishing the maximum Special Tax to the bond debt service coverage ratios for bond holders that may adversely impact the Issuer's ability to meet the debt service payments in a timely manner, possibly resulting in the use of the bond reserve fund. Adjustable rate mortgages (some 79% of current mortgages) have significantly higher delinquency rates than fixed rate mortgages; additionally, homeowners that use adjustable rate mortgages also have higher loan to value ratios as well, some 90% as compared to homeowners with fixed rate loans, some 81%.

The Fiscal Agent shall advise the Treasurer in writing promptly following the actual knowledge of the Fiscal Agent that the credit rating of the provider of any Letter of Credit (or, if a confirming letter of credit has been delivered with a Letter of Credit, the credit rating of the provider of the confirming letter of credit) then in effect has been reduced to BBB (or its equivalent) or lower by S&P or Moody's. The Fiscal Agent shall draw upon a Letter of Credit promptly following receipt by the Fiscal Agent of a written direction of the Treasurer instructing the Fiscal Agent to draw on a Letter of Credit, identifying the Letter of Credit and the amount to be so drawn, and to the effect that Special Taxes levied in the District on "parcels to which the Letter of Credit pertains" (as such phrase is discussed in the Fiscal Agent Agreement) are then delinquent in the amount so to be drawn on the Letter of Credit. The amount received pursuant to any draw on a Letter of Credit under the Fiscal Agent Agreement shall not act as a credit in respect of the amount of any Special Taxes that have been levied in the District on the parcels to which it pertains. Upon collection of any delinquent Special Taxes with respect to the property for which a draw on a Letter of Credit has been made, the Authority shall send to the provider of the Letter of Credit (or its written designee) the amount so collected, less any costs or Administrative Expenses incurred in connection with the delinquency or the related draw on the Letter of Credit, with the amount to be sent to the provider not in any event to exceed the amount of the proceeds of the draw on the Letter of Credit received by the Fiscal Agent. The proceeds of any draw on a Letter of Credit described in this paragraph shall be deposited by the Fiscal Agent to the Special Tax Fund. In addition to the foregoing, the Fiscal Agent shall draw upon the full amount available under a Letter of Credit (x) as soon as practicable following receipt by the Fiscal Agent of actual knowledge that the then rating of the Letter of Credit provider's unsecured debt obligations has been reduced to BBB (or its equivalent) or lower by Moody's or S&P (if a confirming letter of credit has been delivered together with a Letter of Credit, the foregoing rating criteria shall be applied to the ratings of the institution providing the confirming letter of credit), or (y) five days prior to the stated termination date of the Letter of Credit (or any confirming letter of credit provided therewith) if the Letter of Credit (and any related confirming Letter of Credit) is not replaced prior to such expiration date by a letter of credit (which may include a confirming letter of credit) which satisfies the requirements set forth in the definition of "Letter of Credit" in the Fiscal Agent Agreement. The amount received pursuant to any draw on a Letter of Credit under the Fiscal Agent Agreement shall in no way reduce or act as a credit in respect of the amount of any Special Taxes that have been levied in the District. If a confirming letter of credit has been provided with a Letter of Credit, the Fiscal Agent shall draw on the confirming letter of credit as necessary to satisfy the foregoing requirements. E-18 The proceeds of any draw on a Letter of Credit described in the preceding paragraph shall be held by the Fiscal Agent in a separate subaccount within the Reserve Fund created by the Fiscal Agent for such purpose, to be (a) drawn upon by the Fiscal Agent and the proceeds of such draw deposited by the Fiscal Agent to the Special Tax Fund, such draw to occur at the written direction of the Treasurer prior to any Interest Payment Date to the effect that the amount specified in such written direction to be drawn is in the amount of any delinquent Special Taxes levied on the "parcels to which the Letter of Credit pertains" (as such phrase is discussed in the Fiscal Agent Agreement), or (b) released or reduced at the written direction of the Treasurer when the Letter of Credit to which such proceeds pertain would otherwise be released or reduced under the Fiscal Agent Agreement (with any amount so reduced or released to be sent by the Fiscal Agent to the account party with respect to the Letter of Credit upon which the amounts so held were drawn). The Fiscal Agent shall release, or reduce the amount available to be drawn on, a Letter of Credit upon receipt of written direction from the Treasurer to the effect that (I)(x) the then aggregate Parcel Value of the parcels in a planning area of the District identified in such written direction (the "Identified Parcels"), for which Identified Parcels the applicable Letter of Credit was provided, is at least three times the Parcel Liens, and (I)(y) the conditions precedent to the issuance of building permits for all of the Identified Parcels (as such conditions precedent are set forth in the Preannexation and Development Agreement, dated as of December 17, 2002, by and between the City and Ashby USA, LLC, as amended and then in effect (the "Development Agreement")) have been satisfied; or (II) the amount of the Letter of Credit may be reduced to $0.00 under the provisions of the Fiscal Agent Agreement; or (III) the Identified Parcels are subject to less than 10% of the expected annual Special Tax levy in the District (assuming Build-Out). The Treasurer shall review appraisals (or updates to prior appraisals) submitted to the Treasurer by or on behalf of an Account Party that are conducted by an appraiser and in a form acceptable to the Treasurer, to determine if any Letter of Credit is to be released or reduced pursuant to the Fiscal Agent Agreement and, if so, shall so advise the Fiscal Agent in writing. Promptly following receipt of written direction from the Treasurer as to a Letter of Credit, the Fiscal Agent shall complete and deliver to the applicable Letter of Credit provider the appropriate certificates and annexes to the subject Letter of Credit to effectuate the release or reduction of such Letter of Credit. In connection with any such reduction, the amount available to be drawn on the applicable Letter of Credit shall be reduced to an amount equal to two times the expected annual Special Taxes that may be levied on the "parcels to which the Letter of Credit pertains" pertains" (as such phrase is discussed in the Fiscal Agent Agreement) assuming Build-Out of such parcels, other than the Identified Parcels specified in the written direction of the Treasurer described above (however, in any event, the Letter of Credit shall be released if the conditions referenced in clause (III) of the first sentence of the Fiscal Agent Agreement have been satisfied). The Fiscal Agent shall reduce or acknowledge reduction of the amount of any Letter of Credit held by it upon receipt by the Fiscal Agent of: (a) a Letter of Credit which satisfies the requirements set forth in the definition of "Letter of Credit" in the Fiscal Agent Agreement in substitution or replacement for all or a portion of the amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit then held by the Fiscal Agent, accompanied by a written statement of the provider of or account party under such new Letter of Credit as to the parcels and the outstanding Letter of Credit to which the new Letter of Credit pertains, and then the amount under the then E-19 applicable outstanding Letter of Credit may be reduced by the amount available to be drawn under the new Letter of Credit; or (b) from time to time, but not more than once every six months (commencing no sooner than six months after the Closing Date), an Account Party may present evidence to the Treasurer as to the expected annual Special Taxes that may be levied on parcels in the District to which the Letter of Credit pertains, assuming Build-Out (the "Maximum Amount"). If the Maximum Amount, multiplied by two (herein, the "Revised Stated Amount"), is less than the current stated amount of the applicable Letter of Credit, then the Treasurer shall provide written direction to the Fiscal Agent to reduce the applicable Letter of Credit by the difference between the current stated amount of the Letter of Credit and the Revised Stated Amount of the Letter of Credit. Promptly following receipt of such written direction from the Treasurer, the Fiscal Agent shall complete and deliver to the applicable Letter of Credit provider the appropriate certificates and annexes to the subject Letter of Credit to effectuate the reduction of the stated amount of such Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Letter of Credit shall not be reduced if the reason for the reduction is the sale of property to an owner (I) that will own, together with its affiliates, property responsible for 10% or more of the expected annual Special Taxes that may be levied on such parcels in the District (assuming Build-Out), and (II) that will own land in a planning area and either (x) the then Parcel Value of such land is less than three times the Parcel Liens for such land, or (y) there are conditions precedent to the issuance of building permits for all lots to be developed in such planning area, as such conditions are set forth in the Development Agreement (as such term is defined in clause (I)(y) in the preceding paragraph); unless the Account Party provides evidence that the new owner has posted its own Letter of Credit securing the payment of Special Taxes to be levied on such property. The Fiscal Agent shall, on or each January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1, ascertain, with respect to each Letter of Credit then held by the Fiscal Agent, the then rating of each Letter of Credit provider's (or, if a confirming letter of credit has been provided with a Letter of Credit, that the confirming letter of credit provider's) unsecured debt obligations, in connection with the administration of the Fiscal Agent Agreement. In calculating the Maximum Amount described in the Fiscal Agent Agreement, and for purposes of such clause as used in the Fiscal Agent Agreement, the term "parcels in the District to which the Letter of Credit pertains" shall mean the parcels in the District which were initially identified by the applicable Account Party as being the subject of the respective Letter of Credit less any parcels that are, at the time of calculation, (a) owned by a party unaffiliated with the applicable Account Party, so long as the maximum Special Special Taxes levied on such parcels (assuming Build-Out) is less than 10% of the District-wide Maximum Special Taxes, (b) in a planning area whose Parcel Value is more than three times the Parcel Liens, and are not subject to conditions precedent to the issuance of building permits which conditions apply to all lots to be developed in the planning area in which the parcels are located, as such conditions are set forth in the Development Agreement (as such term is defined in clause (I)(y) in the third preceding paragraph), (c) subject to a separate Letter of Credit, or (d) owned by individual homeowners. E-20 Parity Bonds The Authority may issue one or more series of Bonds, in addition to the 2006 Bonds, by means of a Supplemental Agreement and without the consent of any Bondowners, upon compliance with the provisions described below. Any such Bonds that comply with the requirements described below shall be Parity Bonds, and such Parity Bonds shall constitute Bonds under the Fiscal Agent Agreement and shall be secured by a lien on the Special Tax Revenues and funds pledged for the payment of the Bonds under the Fiscal Agent Agreement on a parity with all other Bonds Outstanding under the Fiscal Agent Agreement. The Authority may issue the Parity Bonds subject to the following specific conditions precedent: (A) The Authority shall be in compliance on the date of issuance of the Parity Bonds with all covenants set forth in the Fiscal Agent Agreement and all Supplemental Agreements. (B) The Supplemental Agreement providing for the issuance of such Parity Bonds shall provide that interest thereon shall be payable on on March 1 and September 1, and principal thereof shall be payable on September 1 in any year in which principal is payable (provided that there shall be no requirement that any Parity Bonds pay interest on a current basis). (C) The Supplemental Agreement providing for the issuance of such Parity Bonds may provide for the establishment of separate funds and accounts, and shall provide for a deposit to the Reserve Fund in an amount necessary so that the amount on deposit therein, following the issuance of such Parity Bonds, is equal to the Reserve Requirement. (D) The District Value shall be at least three times the sum of: (i) the aggregate principal amount of all Bonds then Outstanding, plus (ii) the aggregate principal amount of the series of Parity Bonds proposed to be issued, plus (iii) the aggregate principal amount of any fixed assessment liens on the parcels in the District subject to the levy of Special Taxes, plus (iv) a portion of the aggregate principal amount of any and all other community facilities district bonds then outstanding and payable at least partially from special taxes to be levied on parcels of land within the District (the "Other District Bonds") equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Other District Bonds multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of special taxes levied for the Other District Bonds on parcels of land within the District, and the denominator of which is the total amount of special taxes levied for the Other District Bonds on all parcels of land against which the special taxes are levied to pay the Other District Bonds (such fraction to be determined based upon the maximum special taxes which could be levied in the year in which maximum annual debt service on the Other District Bonds occurs), based upon information from the most recent available Fiscal Year. (E) The Authority shall obtain a certificate of a Tax Consultant to the effect that (i) the amount of the maximum Special Taxes that may be levied in each Fiscal Year, less an amount sufficient to pay annual Administrative Expenses (as determined by the Treasurer), shall be at least one hundred ten percent (110%) of the total Annual Debt Service for each such Fiscal Year on the Bonds and the proposed Parity Bonds, and (ii) the Assigned Special Tax that may be levied on Developed Property (as such term is E-21 defined in the Rate and Method of Apportionment of Special Taxes for the District) in the next Fiscal Year, based upon the status of the land in the District as of the date of issuance of the Parity Bonds, shall not be less than the aggregate maximum Annual Debt Service on the Bonds (to remain Outstanding following the issuance of the Parity Bonds) and the proposed Parity Bonds. (F) Unless all of the conditions to the release of any Letter of Credit set forth in the Fiscal Agent Agreement have theretofore been satisfied, or the Letters of Credit have all been reduced to $0.00 pursuant to the provisions of the Fiscal Agent Agreement, there shall be delivered to the Fiscal Agent an amendment to each Letter of Credit then held by the Fiscal Agent to increase the amount available to be drawn under each such Letter of Credit to reflect the expected increase in the Special Taxes that will need to be levied on the parcels to which each Letter of Credit pertains to pay the debt service on the Parity Bonds, as determined by the Treasurer upon consultation with the Tax Consultant. In the event that any Letter of Credit has theretofore been drawn upon pursuant to the Fiscal Agent Agreement, there shall be deposited with the Fiscal Agent monies in an amount equal to the otherwise amount that the corresponding Letter of Credit would need to be increased pursuant to the preceding sentence, and the funds so deposited shall be disposed of in the same manner as the proceeds of the draw on the Letter of Credit under the Fiscal Agent Agreement. (G) The Authority shall deliver to the Fiscal Agent an Officer's Certificate certifying that the conditions precedent to the issuance of such Parity Bonds set forth in subsections (A), (B), (C), (D), (E) and, if applicable, (F) above have been satisfied. In delivering such Officer's Certificate, the Authorized Officer that executes the same may conclusively rely upon such certificates of the Fiscal Agent, the Tax Consultant and others selected with due care, without the need for independent inquiry or certification. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Authority may issue Refunding Bonds as Parity Bonds without the need to satisfy the requirements of clauses (D), (E) and (F) above, and without limitation on the number of series of such Refunding Bonds; and, in connection therewith, the Officer's Certificate in clause (G) above need not make reference to said clauses (D), (E) and (F). Nothing in the Fiscal Agent Agreement prohibits the Authority from issuing bonds or otherwise incurring debt secured by a pledge of Special Tax Revenues subordinate to the pledge thereof under the Fiscal Agent Agreement. Covenants of the Authority The Authority will punctually pay or cause to be paid the principal of, and interest and any premium on, the Bonds when and as due in strict conformity with the terms of the Fiscal Agent Agreement and any Supplemental Agreement, and it will faithfully observe and perform all of the conditions, covenants and requirements of the Fiscal Agent Agreement and all Supplemental Agreements and of the Bonds. The Bonds are limited obligations of the Authority on behalf of the District and are payable solely from and secured solely by the Special Tax Revenues and the amounts in the Bond Fund (including the Special Tax Prepayments Account and the Capitalized Interest E-22 Account therein), the Reserve Fund and, until disbursed as provided in the Fiscal Agent Agreement, the Special Tax Fund. In order to prevent any accumulation of claims for interest after maturity, the Authority may not, directly or indirectly, extend or consent to the extension of the time for the payment of any claim for interest on any of the Bonds and may not, directly or indirectly, be a party to the approval of any such arrangement by purchasing or funding said claims for interest or in any other manner. In case any such claim for interest shall be extended or funded, whether or not with the consent of the Authority, such claim for interest so extended or funded shall not be entitled, in case of default under the Fiscal Agent Agreement, to the benefits of the Fiscal Agent Agreement, except subject to the prior payment in full of the principal of all of the Bonds then Outstanding and of all claims for interest which shall not have been so extended or funded. The Authority will not encumber, pledge or place any charge or lien upon any of the Special Tax Revenues or other amounts pledged to the Bonds superior to or on a parity with the pledge and lien herein created for the benefit of the Bonds, except as permitted by the Fiscal Agent Agreement. The Authority will keep, or cause to be kept, proper books of record and accounts, separate from all other records and accounts of the Authority, in which complete and correct entries are made of all transactions relating to the expenditure of amounts disbursed from the Administrative Expense Fund and to the Special Tax Revenues. Such books of record and accounts will at all times during business hours be subject to the inspection of the Fiscal Agent and the Owners of not less than ten percent (10%) of the principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding, or their representatives duly authorized in writing. The Fiscal Agent will keep, or cause to be kept, proper books of record and accounts, separate from all other records and accounts of the Fiscal Agent, in which complete and correct entries must be made of all transactions relating to the expenditure of amounts disbursed from the Bond Fund (including Special Tax Prepayments Account and the Capitalized Interest Account therein), the Special Tax Fund, the Reserve Fund, the Refunding Fund, the Improvement Fund (including the accounts therein) and the Costs of Issuance Fund. Such books of record and accounts must at all times during business hours be subject to the inspection of the Authority and the Owners of not less than ten percent (10%) of the principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding, or their representatives duly authorized in writing upon reasonable prior notice. The Authority will preserve and protect the security of the Bonds and the rights of the Owners, and will warrant and defend their rights against all claims and demands of all persons. From and after the delivery of any of the Bonds by the Authority, the Bonds shall be incontestable by the Authority. The Authority will comply with all applicable provisions of the Act and law in administering the District and completing the acquisition of the Project. The Authority shall comply with all requirements of the Act so as to assure the timely collection of Special Tax Revenues, including without limitation, the enforcement of delinquent Special Taxes. On or within five (5) Business Days of each June 1, the Fiscal Agent is required provide the Treasurer with a notice stating the amount then on deposit in the Bond Fund, the E-23 Capitalized Interest Account and the Reserve Fund, and informing the Authority that the Special Taxes may need to be levied pursuant to the Ordinance as necessary to provide for the debt service to become due on the Bonds in the calendar year that commences in the Fiscal Year for which the levy is to be made, and Administrative Expenses and replenishment (if necessary) of the Reserve Fund so that the balances therein equal the Reserve Requirement. The receipt of or failure to receive such notice by the Treasurer shall in no way affect the obligations of the Treasurer under the following two paragraphs. Upon receipt of such notice, the Treasurer shall communicate with the Auditor to ascertain the relevant parcels on which the Special Taxes are to be levied, taking into account any parcel splits during the preceding and then current year. The Treasurer shall effect the levy of the Special Taxes each Fiscal Year in accordance with the Ordinance by each July 15 that the Bonds are outstanding, or otherwise such that the computation of the levy is complete before the final date on which Auditor will accept the transmission of the Special Tax amounts for the parcels within the District for inclusion on the next real property tax roll. Upon the completion of the computation of the amounts of the levy, the Treasurer shall prepare or cause to be prepared, and shall transmit to the Auditor, such data as the Auditor requires to include the levy of the Special Taxes on the next real property tax roll. The Treasurer shall fix and levy the amount of Special Taxes within the District required for the payment of principal of and interest on any outstanding Bonds of the District becoming due and payable during the ensuing year, including any necessary replenishment or expenditure of the Reserve Fund for the Bonds and an amount estimated to be sufficient to pay the Administrative Expenses (including amounts necessary to discharge any obligation under the Fiscal Agent Agreement) during such year, taking into account the balances in such funds and in the Special Tax Fund. The Special Taxes so levied shall not exceed the authorized amounts as provided in the proceedings pursuant to the Resolution of Formation. The Special Taxes shall be payable and be collected in the same manner and at the same time and in the same installment as the general taxes on real property are payable, and have the same priority, become delinquent at the same time and in the same proportionate amounts and bear the same proportionate penalties and interest after delinquency as do the ad valorem taxes on real property; provided that, pursuant to and in accordance with the Ordinance, the Special Taxes may be collected by means of direct billing of the property owners within the District, in which event the Special Taxes shall become delinquent if not paid when due pursuant to said billing. Pursuant to Section 53356.1 of the Act, the Authority covenants with and for the benefit of the Owners of the Bonds that it will order, and cause to be commenced as described below, and thereafter diligently prosecute to judgment (unless such delinquency is theretofore brought current), an action in the superior court to foreclose the lien of any Special Tax or installment thereof not paid when due as provided in the following paragraph. The Treasurer shall notify the Authority Attorney of any such delinquency of which it is aware, and the Authority Attorney shall commence, or cause to be commenced, such proceedings. On or about February 15 and June 15 of each Fiscal Year, the Treasurer shall compare the amount of Special Taxes theretofore levied in the District to the amount of Special Tax Revenues theretofore received by the Authority. If the Treasurer determines that any single parcel subject to the Special Tax in the District is delinquent in the payment of Special Taxes in E-24 the aggregate amount of $5,000 or more, then the Treasurer shall send or cause to be sent a notice of delinquency (and a demand for immediate payment thereof) to the property owner within 45 days of such determination, and (if the delinquency remains uncured) foreclosure proceedings shall be commenced by the Authority within 90 days of such determination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Treasurer may defer such action if the amount in the Reserve Fund is at least equal to the Reserve Requirement. If the Treasurer determines that (i) the total amount of delinquent Special Tax for the prior Fiscal Year for the entire District, (including the total of delinquencies under subsection (A) above), exceeds 5% of the total Special Tax due and payable for the prior Fiscal Year, or (ii) there are ten (10) or fewer owners of real property within the District, determined by reference to the latest available secured property tax roll of the County, the Treasurer shall notify or cause to be notified property owners who who are then delinquent in the payment of Special Taxes (and demand immediate payment of the delinquency) within 45 days of such determination, and the Authority shall commence foreclosure proceedings within 90 days of such determination against each parcel of land in the District with a Special Tax delinquency. The Authority will adopt, make, execute and deliver any and all such further resolutions, instruments and assurances as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out the intention or to facilitate the performance of the Fiscal Agent Agreement, and for the better assuring and confirming unto the Owners of the rights and benefits provided in the Fiscal Agent Agreement. The Authority shall assure that the proceeds of the 2006 Bonds are not so used as to cause the 2006 Bonds to satisfy the private business tests of section 141 (b) of the Code or the private loan financing test of section 141 (c) of the Code. The Authority shall not take any action or permit or suffer any action to be taken if the result of the same would be to cause the 2006 Bonds to be "federally guaranteed" within the meaning of Section 149(b) of the Code. The Authority shall take any and all actions necessary to assure compliance with section 148(f) of the Code, relating to the rebate of excess investment earnings, if any, to the federal government, to the extent that such section is applicable to the 2006 Bonds. If necessary, the Authority may use amounts in the Reserve Fund, amounts on deposit in the Administrative Expense Fund, and any other funds available to the District, including amounts advanced by the Authority or the City, in its respective sole discretion, to be repaid by the District as soon as practicable from amounts described in the preceding clauses, to satisfy its obligations under the Fiscal Agent Agreement. The Treasurer shall take note of any investment of monies under the Fiscal Agent Agreement in excess of the yield on the 2006 Bonds, and shall take such actions as are necessary to ensure compliance with the Fiscal Agent Agreement, such as increasing the portion of the Special Tax levy for Administration Expenses as appropriate to have funds available in the Administrative Expense Fund to satisfy any rebate liability under the Fiscal Agent Agreement. The Authority shall not take, or permit or suffer to be taken by the Fiscal Agent or otherwise, any action with respect to the proceeds of the 2006 Bonds which, if such action had been reasonably expected to have been taken, or had been deliberately and intentionally taken, E-25 on the date of issuance of the 2006 Bonds would have caused the 2006 Bonds to be "arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of section 148 of the Code. In determining the yield of the 2006 Bonds to comply with the Fiscal Agent Agreement, the Authority will take into account redemption (including premium, if any) in advance of maturity based on the reasonable expectations of the Authority, as of the Closing Date, regarding prepayments of Special Taxes and use of prepayments for redemption of the Bonds, without regard to whether or not prepayments are received or 2006 Bonds redeemed. The Authority shall take all actions necessary to assure the exclusion of interest on the 2006 Bonds from the gross income of the Owners of the 2006 Bonds to the same extent as such interest is permitted to be excluded from gross income under the Code as in effect on the date of issuance of the 2006 Bonds. The Authority covenants and agrees that it will comply with and carry out all of the provisions of the Continuing Disclosure Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Fiscal Agent Agreement, failure of the Authority to comply with the Continuing Disclosure Agreement shall not be considered a default under the Fiscal Agent Agreement; however, any Participating Underwriter or any holder or Beneficial Owner (as defined in the Fiscal Agent Agreement) of the Bonds may take such actions as may be necessary and appropriate to compel performance by the Authority of its obligations thereunder, including seeking mandate or specific performance by court order. One or more owners of real property in the District as of the Closing Date have also executed continuing disclosure agreements for the benefit of the holders and beneficial owners of the Bonds. Any Participating Underwriter or holder or beneficial owner may take such actions as may be necessary and appropriate directly against any such landowner to compel performance by it of its obligations thereunder, including seeking mandate or specific performance by court order; however the the Authority shall have no obligation whatsoever to enforce any obligations under any such agreement. The Authority covenants and agrees to not consent or conduct proceedings with respect to a reduction in the maximum Special Taxes that may be levied in the District below an amount, for any Fiscal Year, equal to 110% of the aggregate of the Debt Service due on the Bonds in such Fiscal Year, plus a reasonable estimate of Administrative Expenses for such Fiscal Year. It is hereby acknowledged that Bondowners are purchasing the Bonds in reliance on the foregoing covenant, and that said covenant is necessary to assure the full and timely payment of the Bonds. The Authority covenants not to exercise its rights under the Act to waive delinquency and redemption penalties related to the Special Taxes or to declare Special Tax penalties amnesty program if to do so would materially and adversely affect the interests of the owners of the Bonds and further covenants not to permit the tender of Bonds in payment of any Special Taxes except upon receipt of a certificate of an Independent Financial Consultant that to accept such tender will not result in the Authority having insufficient Special Tax revenues to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds remaining Outstanding following such tender. E-26 Investments Moneys in any fund or account created or established by the Fiscal Agent Agreement and held by the Fiscal Agent is required to be invested by the Fiscal Agent in Permitted Investments, as directed pursuant to an Officer's Certificate filed with the Fiscal Agent at least two (2) Business Days in advance of the making of such investments. In the absence of any such Officer's Certificate, the Fiscal Agent shall invest to the extent reasonably practicable, any such moneys in the Permitted Investments described in clause (g) of the definition thereof in the Fiscal Agent Agreement, which by their terms mature prior to the date on which such moneys are required to be paid out thereunder. The Treasurer shall make note of any investment of funds thereunder in excess of the yield on the Bonds, so that appropriate actions can be taken to assure compliance with the Fiscal Agent Agreement. Moneys in any fund or account created or established by Fiscal Agent Agreement and held by the Treasurer will be invested by the Treasurer in any Permitted Investment, which in any event by their terms mature prior to the date on which such moneys are required to be paid out under the Fiscal Agent Agreement. Obligations purchased as an investment of moneys in any fund shall be deemed to be part of such fund or account, subject, however, to the requirements of the Fiscal Agent Agreement for transfer of interest earnings and profits resulting from investment of amounts in funds and accounts. Whenever in the Fiscal Agent Agreement any moneys are required to be transferred by the Authority to the Fiscal Agent, such transfer may be accomplished by transferring a like amount of Permitted Investments. The Fiscal Agent and its affiliates or the Treasurer may act as sponsor, advisor, depository, principal or agent in the acquisition or disposition of any investment. Neither the Fiscal Agent nor the Treasurer shall incur any liability for losses arising from any investments made pursuant to the Fiscal Agent Agreement. The Fiscal Agent will not be required to determine the legality of any investments. Except as otherwise provided in the next sentence, all investments of amounts deposited in any fund or account created by or pursuant to the Fiscal Agent Agreement, or otherwise containing gross proceeds of the Bonds (within the meaning of Section 148 of the Code) shall be acquired, disposed of, and valued (as of the date that valuation is required by the Fiscal Agent Agreement or the Code) at Fair Market Value. The Fiscal Agent shall have no duty in connection with the determination of Fair Market Value other than to follow the investment direction of an Authorized Officer in any written direction of any Authorized Officer. Investments in funds or accounts (or portions thereof) that are subject to a yield restriction under the applicable provisions of the Code and (unless valuation is undertaken at least annually) investments in the subaccounts within the Reserve Fund shall be valued at their present value (within the meaning of section 148 of the Code). The Fiscal Agent shall not be liable for verification of the application of such sections of the Code. Investments in any and all funds and accounts may be commingled in a separate fund or funds for purposes of making, holding and disposing of investments, notwithstanding provisions herein for transfer to or holding in or to the credit of particular funds or accounts of amounts received or held by the Fiscal Agent or the Treasurer, provided that the Fiscal Agent or the Treasurer, as applicable, shall at all times account for such investments strictly in accordance with the funds and accounts to which they are credited and otherwise as provided in the Fiscal Agent Agreement. The Fiscal Agent or the Treasurer, as applicable, shall sell at E-27 Fair Market Value, or present for redemption, any investment security whenever it shall be necessary to provide moneys to meet any required payment, transfer, withdrawal or disbursement from the fund or account to which such investment security is credited and neither the Fiscal Agent nor the Treasurer shall be liable or responsible for any loss resulting from the acquisition or disposition of such investment security in accordance with the Fiscal Agent Agreement. Liability of Authority The Authority shall not incur any responsibility in respect of the Bonds or the Fiscal Agent Agreement other than in connection with the duties or obligations explicitly therein or in the Bonds assigned to or imposed upon it. The Authority shall not be liable in connection with the performance of its duties under the Fiscal Agent Agreement, except for its own negligence or willful default. The Authority shall not be bound to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, covenants or agreements of the Fiscal Agent in the Fiscal Agent Agreement or of any of the documents executed by the Fiscal Agent in connection with the Bonds, or as to the existence of a default or event of default thereunder. In the absence of bad faith, the Authority, including the Treasurer, may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Authority and conforming to the requirements of the Fiscal Agent Agreement. The Authority, including the Treasurer, shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith unless it shall be proved that it was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts. No provision of the Fiscal Agent Agreement shall require the Authority to expend or risk its own general funds or otherwise incur any financial liability (other than with respect to the Special Tax Revenues) in the performance of any of its obligations under the Fiscal Agent Agreement, or in the exercise of any any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. The Authority and the Treasurer may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any notice, resolution, request, consent, order, certificate, report, warrant, bond or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or proper parties. The Authority may consult with counsel, who may be the Authority Attorney, with regard to legal questions, and the opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered by it under the Fiscal Agent Agreement in good faith and in accordance therewith. The Authority shall not be bound to recognize any person as the Owner of a Bond unless and until such Bond is submitted for inspection, if required, and his title thereto satisfactory established, if disputed. Whenever in the administration of its duties under the Fiscal Agent Agreement the Authority or the Treasurer shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or suffering any action under the Fiscal Agent Agreement, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the E-28 absence of willful misconduct on the part of the Authority, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by a certificate of the Fiscal Agent, an Appraiser, an Independent Financial Consultant or a Tax Consultant, and such certificate shall be full warrant to the Authority and the Treasurer for any action taken or suffered under the provisions of the Fiscal Agent Agreement or any Supplemental Agreement upon the faith thereof, but in its discretion the Authority or the Treasurer may, in lieu thereof, accept other evidence of such matter or may require such additional evidence as to it may seem reasonable. In order to perform its duties and obligations under the Fiscal Agent Agreement, the Authority and/or the Treasurer may employ such persons or entities as it deems necessary or advisable. The Authority shall not be liable for any of the acts or omissions of such persons or entities employed by it in good faith under the Fiscal Agent Agreement, and shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in doing so, upon the opinions, calculations, determinations and directions of such persons or entities. The Fiscal Agent The Fiscal Agent undertakes to perform such duties, and only such duties, as are specifically set forth in the Fiscal Agent Agreement, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into the Fiscal Agent Agreement against the Fiscal Agent. Any company into which the Fiscal Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated or any company resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which it shall be a party or any company to which the Fiscal Agent may sell or transfer all or substantially all of its corporate trust business, provided such company shall be eligible under the following paragraph, shall be the successor to such Fiscal Agent without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act, anything therein to the contrary notwithstanding. The Authority may at any time remove the Fiscal Agent initially appointed, and any successor thereto, and may appoint a successor or successors thereto, but any such successor shall be a bank, corporation or trust company having a combined capital (exclusive of borrowed capital) and surplus of at least Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000), and be subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority. If such bank, corporation or trust company publishes a report of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of any supervising or examining authority above referred to, then for the purposes of the Fiscal Agent Agreement, combined capital and surplus of such bank or trust company shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. The Fiscal Agent may at any time resign by giving written notice to the Authority and by giving to the Owners notice by mail of such resignation. Upon receiving notice of such resignation, the Authority shall promptly appoint a successor Fiscal Agent by an instrument in writing. Any resignation or removal of the Fiscal Agent shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor Fiscal Agent. If no appointment of a successor Fiscal Agent shall be made within forty-five (45) days after the Fiscal Agent shall have given to the Authority written notice or after a vacancy in the office of the Fiscal Agent shall have occurred by reason of its inability to act, the Fiscal Agent or any Owner may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Fiscal E-29 Agent. Said court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as such court may deem proper, appoint a successor Fiscal Agent. If, by reason of the judgment of any court, or reasonable agency, the Fiscal Agent is rendered unable to perform its duties under the Fiscal Agent Agreement, all such duties and all of the rights and powers of the Fiscal Agent thereunder shall be assumed by and vest in the Treasurer of the Authority in trust for the benefit of the Owners. The Authority covenants for the direct benefit of the Owners that its Treasurer in such case shall be vested with all of the rights and powers of the Fiscal Agent under the Fiscal Agent Agreement, and shall assume all of the responsibilities and perform all of the duties of the Fiscal Agent thereunder, in trust for the benefit of the Owners of the Bonds. In such event, the Treasurer may designate a successor Fiscal Agent qualified to act as Fiscal Agent thereunder. The recitals of facts, covenants and agreements in the Fiscal Agent Agreement and in the Bonds contained shall be taken as statements, covenants and agreements of the Authority, and the Fiscal Agent assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the same, or makes any representations as to the validity or sufficiency of the Fiscal Agent Agreement or of the Bonds, or shall incur any responsibility in respect thereof, other than in connection with the duties or obligations in the Fiscal Agent Agreement or in the Bonds assigned to or imposed upon it. The Fiscal Agent shall not be liable in connection with the performance of its duties under the Fiscal Agent Agreement, except for its own negligence or willful default. The Fiscal Agent assumes no responsibility or liability for any information, statement or recital in any offering memorandum or other disclosure material prepared or distributed with respect to the issuance of the Bonds. In the absence of bad faith, the Fiscal Agent may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Fiscal Agent and conforming to the requirements of the Fiscal Agent Agreement; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions by which any provision of the Fiscal Agent Agreement are specifically required to be furnished to the Fiscal Agent, the Fiscal Agent shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of the Fiscal Agent Agreement. Except as provided above in this paragraph, Fiscal Agent shall be protected and shall incur no liability in acting or proceeding, or in not acting or not proceeding, in good faith, reasonably and in accordance with the terms of the Fiscal Agent Agreement, upon any resolution, order, notice, request, consent or waiver, certificate, statement, affidavit, or other paper or document which it shall in good faith reasonably believe to be genuine and to have been adopted or signed by the proper person or to have been prepared and furnished pursuant to any provision of the Fiscal Agent Agreement, and the Fiscal Agent shall not be under any duty to make any investigation or inquiry as to any statements contained or matters referred to in any such instrument. The Fiscal Agent shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith unless it shall be proved that the Fiscal Agent was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts. No provision of the Fiscal Agent Agreement shall require the Fiscal Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers. The Fiscal Agent shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by the Fiscal Agent Agreement at the request or direction of any of the Owners E-30 pursuant to the Fiscal Agent Agreement unless such Owners shall have offered to the Fiscal Agent reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction. The Fiscal Agent may become the owner of the Bonds with the same rights it would have if it were not the Fiscal Agent. The Fiscal Agent shall have no duty or obligation whatsoever to enforce the collection of Special Taxes or other funds to be deposited with it under the Fiscal Agent Agreement, or as to the correctness of any amounts received, and its liability shall be limited to the proper accounting for such funds as it shall actually receive. In order to perform its duties and obligations under the Fiscal Agent Agreement, the Fiscal Agent may employ such persons or entities as it deems necessary or advisable. The Fiscal Agent shall not be liable for any of the acts or omissions of such persons or entities employed by it in good faith hereunder, and shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in doing so, upon the opinions, calculations, determinations and directions of such persons or entities. The Fiscal Agent may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any notice, resolution, request, consent, order, certificate, report, warrant, bond or other paper or document believed in good faith by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or proper parties. The Fiscal Agent may consult with counsel, who may be counsel to the Authority, with regard to legal questions, and the opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered by it under the Fiscal Agent Agreement in good faith and in accordance therewith. The Fiscal Agent shall not be bound to recognize any person as the Owner of a Bond unless and until such Bond is submitted for inspection, if required, and his title thereto satisfactorily established, if disputed. Whenever in in the administration of its duties under the Fiscal Agent Agreement the Fiscal Agent shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or suffering any action under the Fiscal Agent Agreement, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be in the Fiscal Agent Agreement specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of willful misconduct on the part of the Fiscal Agent, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by an Officer's Certificate, and such certificate shall be full warrant to the Fiscal Agent for any action taken or suffered under the provisions of the Fiscal Agent Agreement or any Supplemental Agreement upon the faith thereof, but in its discretion the Fiscal Agent may, in lieu thereof, accept other evidence of such matter or may require such additional evidence as to it may seem reasonable. Amendment of the Fiscal Agent Agreement The Fiscal Agent Agreement and the rights and obligations of the Authority and of the Owners of the Bonds may may be modified or amended at any time by a Supplemental Agreement pursuant to the affirmative vote at a meeting of Owners, or with the written consent without a meeting, of the Owners of at least sixty percent (60%) in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding, exclusive of Bonds disqualified as provided in the Fiscal Agent E-31 Agreement. No such modification or amendment shall (i) extend the maturity of any Bond or reduce the interest rate thereon, or otherwise alter or impair the obligation of the Authority to pay the principal of, and the interest and any premium on, any Bond, without the express consent of the Owner of such Bond, or (ii) permit the creation by the Authority of any pledge or lien upon the Special Taxes superior to or on a parity with the pledge and lien created for the benefit of the Owners of the Bonds (except as otherwise permitted by the Act, the laws of the State of California or the Fiscal Agent Agreement), or (iii) reduce the percentage of Bonds required for the amendment of the Fiscal Agent Agreement. Any such amendment may not modify any of the rights or obligations of the Fiscal Agent without its written consent. The Fiscal Agent Agreement and the rights and obligations of the Authority and of the Owners may also be modified or amended at any time by a Supplemental Agreement, without the consent of any any Owners, only to the extent permitted by law and only for any one or more of the following purposes: (A) to add to the covenants and agreements of the Authority in the Fiscal Agent Agreement contained, other covenants and agreements thereafter to be observed, or to limit or surrender any right or power in the Fiscal Agent Agreement reserved to or conferred upon the Authority; (B) to make modifications not adversely affecting any outstanding series of Bonds of the Authority in any material respect; (C) to make such provisions for the purpose of curing any ambiguity, or of curing, correcting or supplementing any defective provision contained in the Fiscal Agent Agreement, or in regard to questions arising under the Fiscal Agent Agreement, as the Authority or the Fiscal Agent may deem necessary or desirable and not inconsistent with the Fiscal Agent Agreement, and which shall not adversely affect the rights of the Owners of the Bonds; (D) to make such additions, deletions or modifications as may be necessary or desirable to assure exemption from gross federal income taxation of interest on the Bonds; and (E) in connection with the issuance of Parity Bonds under and pursuant to the Fiscal Agent Agreement. Discharge of the Fiscal Agent Agreement The Authority shall have the option to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on all or any portion of the Bonds Outstanding in any one or more of the following ways: (A) by well and truly paying or causing to be paid the principal of, and interest and any premium on, such Bonds Outstanding, as and when the same become due and payable; (B) by depositing with the Fiscal Agent, in trust, at or before maturity, money which, together with the amounts then on deposit in the funds and accounts therein as E-32 provided in the Fiscal Agent Agreement is fully sufficient to pay such Bonds Outstanding, including all principal, interest and redemption premiums; or (C) by irrevocably depositing with the Fiscal Agent, in trust, cash and Federal Securities in such amount as the Authority shall determine as confirmed by Bond Counsel or an independent certified public accountant will, together with the interest to accrue thereon and moneys then on deposit in the funds and accounts therein as provided in the Fiscal Agent Agreement, be fully sufficient to pay and discharge the indebtedness on such Bonds (including all principal, interest and redemption premiums) at or before their respective maturity dates. If the Authority shall have taken any of the actions specified in (A), (B) or (C) above, and if such Bonds are to be redeemed prior to the maturity thereof notice of such redemption shall have been given as in the Fiscal Agent Agreement provided or provision satisfactory to the Fiscal Agent shall have been made for the giving of such notice, then, at the election of the Authority, and notwithstanding that any Bonds shall not have been surrendered for payment, the pledge of the Special Taxes and other funds provided for in the Fiscal Agent Agreement and all other obligations of the Authority under the Fiscal Agent Agreement with respect to such Bonds Outstanding shall cease and terminate. Notice of such election shall be filed with the Fiscal Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligation of the Authority to pay or cause to be paid to the Owners of the Bonds not so surrendered and paid all sums due thereon, all amounts owing to the Fiscal Agent pursuant to the Fiscal Agent Agreement, and otherwise to assure that no action is taken or failed to be taken if such action or failure adversely affects the exclusion of interest on the Bonds from gross income for federal income tax purposes, shall continue in any event. Upon compliance by the Authority with the foregoing with respect to all Bonds Outstanding, any funds held by the Fiscal Agent after payment of all fees and expenses of the Fiscal Agent, which are not required for the purposes of the preceding paragraph, shall be paid over to the Authority and any Special Taxes thereafter received by the Authority shall not be remitted to the Fiscal Agent but shall be retained by the Authority to be used for any purpose permitted under the Act.

We have examined the law and such certified proceedings and other documents as we deem necessary to render this opinion. As to questions of fact material to our opinion, we have relied upon representations of the Authority contained in the Resolution and in the certified proceedings and certifications of public officials and others furnished to us, without undertaking to verify the same by independent investigation. Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion, under existing law, as follows: 1. The Authority is duly created and validly existing as a joint exercise of powers authority, with the power to adopt the Resolution, enter into the Fiscal Agent Agreement and perform the agreements on its part contained therein and issue the Bonds. 2. The Fiscal Agent Agreement has been duly entered into by the Authority, for and on behalf of the District, and constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Authority enforceable upon the Authority. H-l Temecula Public Financing Authority April 27, 2006 Page 2 3. Pursuant to the Act, the Fiscal Agent Agreement creates a valid lien on the funds pledged by the Fiscal Agent Agreement for the security of the Bonds, on a parity with the pledge thereof for the security of any Parity Bonds that may be issued under, and as such term is defined in, the Fiscal Agent Agreement. 4. The Bonds have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Authority and are valid and binding limited obligations of the Authority on behalf of the District, payable solely from the sources provided therefor in the Fiscal Agent Agreement, on a parity with any Parity Bonds that may be issued under and as such term is defined in the Fiscal Agent Agreement. 5. Subject to the Authority's compliance with certain covenants, interest on the Bonds is excludable from gross income of the owners thereof for federal income tax purposes under section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") and, under section 55 of the Code, is not included as an item of tax preference in computing the federal alternative minimum tax for individuals and corporations under the Code but is taken into account in computing an adjustment used in determining the federal alternative minimum tax for certain corporations. Failure by the Authority to comply with one or more of such covenants could cause interest on the Bonds to not be excludable from gross income under section 103 of the Code for the federal income tax purposes retroactively to the date of issuance of the Bonds. 6. The interest on the Bonds is exempt from personal income taxation imposed by the State of California. Ownership of the Bonds may result in other tax consequences to certain taxpayers, and we express no opinion regarding any such collateral consequences arising with respect to the Bonds. The rights of the owners of the Bonds and the enforceability of the Bonds, the Resolution and the Fiscal Agent Agreement may be subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws affecting creditors' rights heretofore or hereafter enacted and also may be subject to the exercise of judicial discretion in accordance with general principles of equity. In rendering this opinion, we have relied upon certifications of the Authority and others with respect to certain material facts. Our opinion represents our legal judgment based upon such review of the law and facts that we deem relevant to render our opinion and is not a guarantee of a result. This opinion is given as of the date hereof and we assume no obligation to revise or supplement this opinion to reflect any facts or circumstances that may hereafter come to our attention or any changes in law that may hereafter occur. Respectfully submitted, H-2 APPENDIX I BOOK-ENTRY SYSTEM The following description of the procedures and record keeping with respect to beneficial ownership interests in the 2006 Bonds, payment ofprincipal of and interest on the 2006 Bonds to Direct Participants, Indirect Participants or Beneficial Owners (as such terms are defined below) of the 2006 Bonds, confirmation and transfer of beneficial ownership interests in the 2006 Bonds and other Bond-related transactions by and between DTC, Direct Participants, Indirect Participants and Beneficial Owners of the 2006 Bonds is based solely on information furnished by DTC to the District which the District believes to be reliable, but the Authority, the District and the Underwriter do not and cannot make any independent representations concerning these matters and do not take responsibility for the accuracy or completeness thereof.

One fully registered 2006 Bond will be issued for each maturity of the 2006 Bonds, each 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 17 A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC holds and provides asset servicing for over 2 million issues of U.S. and non-U.S. equity issues, corporate and municipal debt issues and money market instruments from over 85 countries that DTC's participants (the "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. andnon-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 ofthe National Securities Clearing Corporation, Government Securities Clearing Corporation, MBS Clearing Corporation, and Emerging Markets Clearing Corporation, (NSCC, GSCC, MBSCC, 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 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 (the "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. Purchases of Bonds under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct Participants, which will receive a credit for the 2006 Bonds on DTC' s records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each 2006 Bond (the "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 2006 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 the 2006 Bonds, except in the event that use ofthe book-entry system for the 2006 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 requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of 2006 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. DTC has no knowledge 1-1 of the actual Beneficial Owners of the 2006 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 or 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. Beneficial Owners of 2006 Bonds may wish to take certain steps to augment the transmissions to them of notices of significant events with respect to the 2006 Bonds, such as redemptions, tenders, defaults, and proposed amendments to the 2006 Bonds documents. For example, Beneficial Owners of 2006 Bonds may wish to ascertain that the nominee holding holding the 2006 Bonds for their benefit has agreed to obtain and transmit notices to Beneficial Owners. Redemption notices shall be sent to DTC. If less than all of the 2006 Bonds are being redeemed, DTC's practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in such maturity to be redeemed. Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (nor such other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to the 2006 Bonds unless authorized by aDirect Participant in accordance with DTC's Procedures. Under its usual S-ocedures, DTC mails an Omnibus Proxy to the District as soon as possible after the Record Date. The mnibus Proxy assigns Cede & Co.'s consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to whose accounts the 2006 Bonds are credited on the Record Date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy). Principal, redemption price and interest payment on the 2006 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 District, the Authority or the Fiscal Agent, on a payment 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 the nominee), the Fiscal Agent, the Authority or the District, subject to any statutory and regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of principal, redemption price and interest payments to Cede & Co. (or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC) is the responsibility of the Fiscal Agent, 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. DTC may discontinue providing its service as depository with respect to the 2006 Bonds at any time by giving reasonable notice to the Fiscal Agent. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor depository is not obtained, Bond certificates are required to be printed and delivered as described in the Fiscal Agent Agreement. The Authority may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry transfers through DTC (or asuccessor securities depository). In that event, Bond certificates will be printed and delivered as described in the Fiscal Agent Agreement. The information in this section concerning DTC and DTC's book-entry system has been obtained from sources that the Authority and the District believe to be reliable, but the Authority and the District take no responsibility for the accuracy thereof. 1-2 Discontinuance of DTC Services In the event that (a) DTC determines not to continue to act as securities depository for the 2006 Bonds, or (b) the Authority determines that DTC shall no longer act and delivers a written certificate to the Fiscal Agent to that effect, then the Authority will discontinue the Book-Entry System with DTC for the 2006 Bonds. If the Authority determines to replace DTC with another qualified securities depository, the Authority will prepare or direct the preparation of a new single separate, fully registered Bond for each maturity of the 2006 Bonds registered in the name of such successor or substitute securities depository as are not inconsistent with the terms of the Fiscal Agent Agreement. If the Authority fails to identify another qualified securities depository to replace the incumbent securities depository for the 2006 Bonds, then the 2006 Bonds shall no longer be restricted to being registered in the 2006 Bond registration books in the name of the incumbent securities depository or its nominee, but shall be registered in whatever name or names the incumbent securities depository or its nominee transferring or exchanging the 2006 Bonds shall designate. In the event that the Book-Entry System is discontinued, the following provisions would also apply: (i) the 2006 Bonds will be made available in physical form, (ii) principal of, andredemption premiums if any, on the 2006 Bonds will be payable up9n surrender thereof at the trust office of the Fiscal Agent identified in the Fiscal Agent Agreement, and (lii) the 2006 Bonds will be transferable and exchangeable as provided in the Fiscal Agent Agreement. The Authority, the District and the Fiscal Agent do not have any responsibility or obligation to DTC Participants, to the persons for whom they act as nominees, to Beneficial Owners, or to any other person who is not shown on the registration books as being an owner of the 2006 Bonds, with respect to (i) the accuracy of any records maintained by DTC or any DTC Participants; (ii) the payment by DTC or any DTC Participant of any amount in respect of the principal of, redemption price of or interest on the 2006 Bonds; (Hi) the delivery of any notice which is permitted or required to be given to registered owners under the Fiscal Agent Agreement; (iv) the selection by DTC or any DTC Participant of any person to receive payment in the event of a partial redemption of the 2006 Bonds; (v) any consent given or other action taken by DTC as registered owner; or (vi) any other matter arising with respect to the 2006 Bonds or the Fiscal Agent Agreement. The Authority, the District and the Fiscal Agent cannot and do not give any assurances that DTC, DTC Participants or others will distribute payments of principal of or interest on the 2006 Bonds paid to DTC or its nominee, as the registered owner, or any notices to the Beneficial Owners or that they will do so on a timely basis or will serve and act in a manner described in this Official Statement. The Authority, the District and the Fiscal Agent are are not responsible or liable for the failure of DTC or any DTC Participant to make any payment or give any notice to a Beneficial Owner in respect to the 2006 Bonds or any error or delay relating thereto. 1-3 [THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK] APPENDIX J BOUNDARY MAP OF THE COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT [THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK] SHEET 1 OF 1 PROPOSED BOUNDARIES OF TEMECULA PUBLIC FINANCING AUTHORITY COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT NO. 03-02 (RORIPAUGH RANCH) RIVERSIDE COUNTY STATE OF CALIFORNIA (1) Filed in the office of the Secretary of the Board of Directors of Temecula Public Financing Authority this f^^'' f\i^^^. ,\jj day of , 2004.
