Pursuant to the 1984 Act, the 1915 Act and the Resolution of Intention, as subject to the arbitrage provisions of Section 148(d) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, the Reserve Fund in the amount equal to the Reserve Requirement will be established from the proceeds of the sale of the Bonds. The Reserve Fund will constitute a trust fund for the benefit of the Holders of the Bonds. The Reserve Fund will be maintained, used, transferred, reimbursed and liquidated as follows: (i) Whenever there are insufficient funds in the Redemption Fund to pay the next maturing installment of principal of or interest on the Bonds, an amount necessary to make up such deficiency will be transferred by the City Treasurer from the Reserve Fund, to the extent of available funds, to the Redemption Fund. The amounts so advanced will be reimbursed from the proceeds of redemption or sale of the parcels for which payment of delinquent installments of reassessments and interest thereon or real property taxes has been made from the Reserve Fund. In the event that there is a deficiency in the Redemption Fund to pay the principal of and interest on the outstanding Bonds, the Fiscal Agent, on behalf of the City, shall pay to the Holders of such outstanding and unpaid Bonds a proportionate share of the Bonds as the amount of money on deposit in the Redemption Fund bears to the total amount of the unpaid principal of the Bonds and the interest which has accrued or will accrue thereon. Thereafter, as moneys representing payments of - 23 - reassessments are periodically deposited by the City Treasurer into the Redemption Fund, similar proportionate payments shall be made by the Fisca 1 Agent, on beha If of the Ci ty, to the Ho lders of the Bonds. In the event that the Reserve Fund is completely depleted from such advances and prior to reimbursement from resales of property or delinquency redemptions, payments to the Holders of the Bonds will be dependent upon reimbursement of the Reserve Fund. (ii) If any reassessment is prepaid prior to the final maturity of the Bonds, the amount of principal of the reassessment to be prepaid will be reduced by an amount which will be determined by multiplying the then current balance of the Reserve Fund by the percentage which the original unpaid amount of the Prepaid Assessment is to the total amount of the original unpaid reassessment on all land in the District. The reduction in the amount of principal prepaid shall be compensated for by a transfer of a like amount from the Reserve Fund to the Redemption Fund. (iii) Investment income from the Reserve Fund will remain in the Reserve Fund to the extent necessary to restore the balance therein to the Reserve Requirement which is an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the 0 rig ina 1 proceeds of the Bonds, less any reduction in the Reserve Fund as a result of the application of subparagraph (ii) hereof. If at any time the amount of any income realized from the investment of the money in the Reserve Fund plus the remaining principal amount thereof exceeds the Reserve Requi rement, such excess sha 11 be apport ioned to each parcel upon which a reassessment remains unpaid and credited against the next installment or installments due thereon. (iv) When the balance in the Reserve Fund is sufficient to retire all Outstanding Bonds (whether by advance retirement or otherwise), the amount of the Reserve Fund will be transferred to the Redemption Fund, the remaining installments of principal and interest not yet due from reassessed property owners will be cancelled without payment and the Reserve Fund shall be liquidated upon the retirement of the Bonds. (v) In the event that the balance in the Reserve Fund at the time of liquidation exceeds the amount necessary to retire all Outstanding Bonds, the excess shall be apportioned to each parcel upon which the individual reassessment remained unpaid at the time the balance in the Reserve Fund was equal to the amount necessary to retire all of the Outstanding Bonds. The payments shall be made in cash to the respective owners of the parcels; provided, however, that if the excess is less than one thousand dollars ($1,000) such excess may be transferred by the City Treasurer for deposit in the General Fund of the City.

(b) Moneys in the Reserve Fund may be temporarily invested in any authorized investments pursuant to Article I (commencing with Section 53600) of Chapter 4 of Part 1 of Title 5 of the Government Code, or in any authorized investments pursuant to law in the case of money resulting from reassessments levied for the Bonds, provided, however, that such investments shall be of the type or types and which will by their terms mature on such date or dates which shall not be later than the date on which the money may be requi red fa r the Redemption Fund pursuant to the 1915 Act, a 11 as may be recommended from time to tim~ bY the opinion of an Independent Financial Consultant appointed by the City. Obligations purchased as an investment of moneys in any of said Funds shall be deemed at all times to be a part of such Fund and the interest accruing thereon and any gain realized from such investment shall be credited to such Fund and any loss resulting from any such authorized investment shall be charged to such Fund without liability to the City or the members and officers thereof or to the Fiscal Agent; provided, however, that interest earnings on investments of moneys in the Reserve Fund shall remain in the Reserve Fund unless and until the time that any amount of investment income plus the remaining principal amount thereof exceeds ten percent (10%) of the Reserve Requi rement and such excess sha 11 be apportioned to each parcel upon which a reassessment remains unpaid and credited against the next installment or installments due thereon.
