necessary that the same officer sign the certificate of authentication on all of the Bonds
that may be issued hereunder.

terms, be transferred, upon the registration books required to be kept by the Paying
Agent, by the person in whose name it is registered, in person or by his duly authorized

imposed in connection with the transfer or exchange. The Paying Agent shall not be

called for redemption in whole or in part.
Registration Books. The Paying Agent will keep at its principal corporate trust
office in Los Angeles, California, or at such other place as the City may approve,
sufficient books for the registration and transfer of the Bonds. The books shall at all
times be open to inspection by the City; and, upon presentation for such purpose, the
Paying Agent shall under such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, register or
transfer, or cause to be registered or transferred, on the register, the Bonds as
hereinbefore provided.
Book -Entry Only System. DTC shall act as the initial Depository for the Bonds.

responsibility or obligation to any broker - dealer, bank, or other financial institution for
which DTC holds Bonds as Depository from time to time (the "DTC Participants ") or to

other person, other than DTC, of any amount with respect to the principal of or interest
on the Bonds, or (v) any consent given or other action taken by the Depository as
Owner of the Bonds; except that so long as any Bond is registered in the name of
Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, anyone representing themselves to be the Beneficial
Owner of $1,000,000 or more in aggregate principal amount of Bonds who has filed a
written request with the Paying Agent to receive notices, containing such Beneficial
Owner's name and address, shall be provided with all notices relating to such Bonds by
the Paying Agent.
Except as set forth above, the Paying Agent may treat as and deem DTC to be
the absolute Owner of each Bond for which DTC is acting as Depository for the purpose
of payment of the principal of and interest on such Bonds, for the purpose of giving
notices of prepayment and other matters with respect to such Bonds, for the purpose of
registering transfers with respect to such Bonds, and for all purposes whatsoever. The
Paying Agent shall pay all principal of and interest on the Bonds only to or upon the
order of the Owners as shown on the Bond Register, and all such payments shall be
valid and effective to fully satisfy and discharge all obligations with respect to the
principal of and interest on the Bonds to the extent of the sums or sums so paid.
Upon delivery by DTC to the Paying Agent of written notice to the effect that DTC
has determined to substitute a new nominee in place of Cede & Co., and subject to the
transfer provisions hereof, references to "Cede & Co." in this Section 9 shall refer to
such new nominee of DTC.
DTC may determine to discontinue providing its services with respect to the
Bonds at any time by giving written notice to the Paying Agent during any time that the
Bonds are Outstanding, and discharging its responsibilities with respect thereto under
applicable law. The City may terminate the services of DTC with respect to the Bonds if
it determines that DTC is unable to discharge its responsibilities with respect to the
Bonds or that continuation of the system of book -entry transfers through DTC is not in
the best interest of the Beneficial Owners, and the City shall mail notice of such
termination to the Paying Agent.
Upon the termination of the services of DTC, as provided in the previous
paragraph, and if no substitute Depository willing to undertake the functions hereunder
can be found which is willing and able to undertake such functions upon reasonable or
customary terms, or if the City determines that it is in the best interest of the Beneficial
Owners of the Bonds that they be able to obtain certificated Bonds, the Bonds shall no
longer be restricted to being registered in the Bond Register of the Paying Agent in the
name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, but may be registered in whatever name or
names the Owners shall designate at that time, in accordance with Section 7.
Redemption.
Optional Redemption. The Bonds maturing on or after August 1, 20_ are
subject, at the option of the City, to redemption prior to their stated maturities in whole
or in part on any date commencing August 1, 20_, selected among maturities, if in
parts as nearly as practicable on a pro -rata basis, and by lot within a maturity, at a
redemption price equal to the principal amount thereof, together with accrued interest to
the date fixed for redemption, without premium.
Mandatory Sinking Fund Redemption. The Bonds maturing on August 1,
20_, are subject to mandatory sinking fund redemption, in part by lot, prior to their
stated maturity, on each August 1 on and after August 1, 20_, at a redemption price
equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof called for redemption, without premium,
plus accrued interest thereon to the date of redemption in the aggregate respective
principal amounts set forth in the following table:
Principal Amount
Redemption Date of 20_ Bonds to
(August 1) be Redeemed
(maturity)
Selection of Bonds for Redemption. If Tess than all of the Bonds
outstanding are to be redeemed, the portion of any Bond of a denomination of more
than $5,000 to be redeemed shall be in the principal amount of $5,000 or an integral
multiple thereof, and, in selecting portions of such Bond for redemption, the Paying
Agent shall treat each such Bond as representing that number of Bonds of $5,000
denominations which is obtained by dividing the principal amount of such Bond to be
redeemed in part by $5,000. The Paying Agent shall promptly notify the City in writing
of the Bonds, or portions thereof, selected for redemption.
Notice of Redemption. The Paying Agent shall further provide written
notice to Bond Owners of all Bonds to be redeemed pursuant to this section by first
class mail within sixty (60) days, but in no event later than thirty (30) days prior to the
date of such redemption. The date on which the Bonds which are called for redemption
are to be presented for redemption is herein sometimes called the "redemption date."
The notice of redemption shall (a) state the redemption date; (b) state the redemption
price; (c) state the dates of maturity of the Bonds and, if Tess than all of any such
maturity is called for redemption the distinctive numbers of the Bonds of such maturity
to be redeemed, and in the case of Bonds redeemed in part only, the respective
portions of the principal amount thereof, to be redeemed; (d) state the CUSIP number, if
any, of each Bond to be redeemed; (e) give notice that further interest on such Bonds
will not accrue after the designated redemption date; and (f) any other descriptive
information regarding the Bonds needed to identify accurately the Bonds being
redeemed. The actual receipt by the Owner of notice of such redemption shall not be a
condition precedent to redemption, and failure to receive such notice shall not affect the
validity of the proceedings for the redemption of such Bonds or the cessation of interest
on the date fixed for redemption.
At least twenty -five (25) days before the redemption date, notice
shall also be given (i) registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, (ii) confirmed
facsimile transmission or (iii) overnight delivery service, to The Depository Trust
Company, 711 Stewart Avenue, Garden City, New York 11530, Facsimile transmission:
(516) 227 -4039, (516) 227 -4190 and in accordance with then current guidelines of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, to any other firm or service regularly providing
information with respect to the redemption of Bonds designated to the Paying Agent by
the City.
Conditional Notice of Optional Redemption of Bonds. With respect to the
optional redemption of Bonds pursuant to the foregoing subsection (a), at the direction
of the City filed with the Paying Agent, the notice of such redemption shall state that
such redemption is conditioned upon the receipt by the Paying Agent on or before the
date fixed for such redemption of sufficient funds for such purpose from any issue of
refunding bonds. In the event that sufficient funds shall not have been deposited with
the Paying Agent on or before the date fixed for redemption, the Paying Agent shall
promptly notify the Owners of the Bonds by telephone, facsimile transmission or other
form of telecommunication, promptly confirmed in writing; and thereupon such
redemption and the notice thereof shall be deemed to be canceled and rescinded.
Effect of Redemption. When notice of redemption has been given,
substantially as provided for herein, and when the amount necessary for the redemption
of the Bonds called for redemption (principal and premium, if any) is set aside for that
purpose in the Debt Service Fund, as provided for herein, the Bonds designated for
redemption shall become due and payable on the date fixed for redemption thereof, and
upon presentation and surrender of said Bonds at the place specified in the notice of
redemption, such Bonds shall be redeemed and paid at said redemption price out of
said Debt Service Fund, and no interest will accrue on such Bonds called for
redemption after the redemption date specified in such notice and the owners of the
Bonds so called for redemption after such redemption date shall look only to the funds
held for such purpose in the Debt Service Fund (or held for such specific purpose in the
Bond Fund held by the Paying Agent). All Bonds redeemed shall be cancelled forthwith
by the Paying Agent and shall not be reissued. The City shall establish a separate
account in the Debt Service Fund to hold funds available for payment of called bonds
after the redemption date.
Acquisition and Construction Fund.
The proceeds of the sale of the Bonds identified in Section 2 for deposit
into the Acquisition and Construction Fund shall be deposited with the City to the credit
of the "City of Arcadia (Bond Measure A) Acquisition and Construction Fund," shall be
kept separate and distinct from all other funds of the City and the moneys in said fund
shall be applied exclusively to pay Project Costs in accordance with the Law, except as
otherwise provided in the provisions of the Law.
The City shall disburse moneys in the Acquisition and Construction Fund
to the City from time to time to pay the Project Costs. If, upon completion of the project
to be funded from the Acquisition and Construction Fund, amounts remain therein, the
City shall transfer such amounts to the Debt Service Fund. At such time that no
amounts remain on deposit in the Acquisition and Construction Fund, the City shall
close the Acquisition and Construction Fund.
Nothing in this Resolution shall limit the authority of the City to cause the
appointment of a fiscal agent to hold and disburse the Acquisition and Construction
Fund, to the extent permitted by the Law.
Rebate Fund. The City shall establish the Rebate Fund. All money at any time
deposited in the Rebate Fund shall be held by the City in trust for payment to the United
States Treasury. All amounts on deposit in the Rebate Fund shall be governed by this
Section and the Tax Certificate, unless the City obtains an opinion of Bond Counsel that
the exclusion from gross income of interest on the Bonds shall not be adversely affected
for federal income tax purposes if such requirements are not satisfied.
Annual Computation. Within 55 days of the end of each Computation
Year with respect to the Bonds, the City shall calculate or cause to be calculated the
amount of rebatable arbitrage, in accordance with Section 148(f)(2) of the Code and
Section 1.148 -3 of the Rebate Regulations (taking into account any applicable
exceptions with respect to the computation of the rebatable arbitrage, described, if
applicable, in the Tax Certificate (e.g., the temporary investments exceptions of
Section 148(f)(4)(B) and (C) of the Code), and taking into account whether the 1 -1/2%
Penalty has been elected), for this purpose treating the last day of the applicable
Computation Year as a computation date, within the meaning of Section 1.148 -1(b) of
the Rebate Regulations (the "Rebatable Arbitrage "). The City shall obtain expert advice
as to the amount of the Rebatable Arbitrage to comply with this Section.]
Annual Transfer. Within 55 days of the end of each applicable
Computation Year with respect to the Bonds, an amount shall be transferred by the City
to be deposited to the Rebate Fund from any legally available funds, including the other
funds and accounts established herein, so that the balance in the Rebate Fund shall
equal the amount of Rebatable Arbitrage so calculated in accordance with clause (i) of
this Subsection (a). In the event that immediately following the transfer required by the
previous sentence, the amount then on deposit to the credit of the Rebate Fund
exceeds the amount required to be on deposit therein, the Administrative Services
Director shall withdraw the excess from the Rebate Fund and then credit the excess to
the Debt Service Fund.
Payment to the Treasury. The City shall pay to the United States
Treasury, out of amounts in the Rebate Fund:
(1) Not later than 60 days after the end of (A) the fifth
Computation Year with respect to the Bonds, and (B) each
applicable fifth Computation Year thereafter, an amount equal to at
least 90% of the Rebatable Arbitrage calculated as of the end of
such Computation Year; and
(2) Not later than 60 days after the payment of all the
Bonds, an amount equal to 100% of the Rebatable Arbitrage
calculated as of the end of such applicable Computation Year, and
any income attributable to the Rebatable Arbitrage, computed in
accordance with Section 148(f) of the Code.
In the event that, prior to the time of any payment required to be made from the
Rebate Fund, the amount in the Rebate Fund is not sufficient to make such payment
when such payment is due, the City shall calculate or cause to be calculated the
amount of such deficiency and deposit an amount received from any legally available
source, including the other funds and accounts established herein, equal to such
deficiency in the Rebate Fund prior to the time such payment is due. Each payment
required to be made pursuant to this Subsection (1) shall be made to the Internal
Revenue Service Center, Ogden, Utah 84201 on or before the date on which such
payment is due, and shall be accompanied by Internal Revenue Service Form 8038 -T
prepared by the City, or shall be made in such other manner as provided under the
Code.
Disposition of Unexpended Funds. Any funds remaining in the Rebate
Fund after redemption and payment of the Bonds and the payments described in
Subsection (1), may be utilized in any lawful manner by the City.
Survival of Defeasance. Notwithstanding anything in this Section or the
Resolution to the contrary, the obligation to comply with the requirements of this Section
shall survive the defeasance of the Bonds.
Security /Debt Service Fund. The City Council, so far as is practicable, shall fix
such rate or rates for a tax to be levied in the City as will result in revenues which will
pay the interest on the Bonds, and provide a sinking or other fund for the payment of the
principal of the Bonds as such principal may become due. The City Council shall
determine the fiscal year for all of the amounts above set forth, and shall fix the rate or
rate of tax to be levied which will raise the amounts of money required by the City for
such purposes, and as required by the provisions of the Law, the City Council shall
certify to the County Auditor - Controller of the County of Los Angeles (the "Auditor ") the
rate or rates so fixed and shall furnish to the Auditor a statement in writing containing
the following: (a) an estimate of the minimum amount of money required to be raised by
taxation during the fiscal year for the payment of the principal of and interest on the
Bonds, as will become due before the proceeds of a tax levied at the next general tax
levy will be available; (b) an estimate of the minimum amount of money required to be
raised by taxation during the fiscal year for all other purposes of the City; and (c) any
other items required by the provisions of the Law. The Auditor shall compute and enter
in the county assessment roll the respective sums to be paid as a City tax on the
property within the City using the rate or rates of levy as fixed by the City Council and
the assessed value as found on the assessment roll for the property subject to the tax.
It shall be the duty of all county officers charged with the duty of collecting taxes
to collect such tax in time, form and manner as county taxes are collected and when
collected to pay the same to the City.
All such taxes for the payment of principal and interest on the Bonds shall be
established, levied and collected as provided in the provisions of the Law.
All moneys derived from such taxes and all other moneys allocated and
designated for payment of said Bonds and the interest thereon shall be placed in a fund
of the City and designated "City of Arcadia (Bond Measure A) Debt Service Fund" (the
"Debt Service Fund "), (and accounts therein to the extent created pursuant to Section
10 or 16 hereof) shall be kept separate and apart from all other funds of the City (and is
hereby irrevocably pledged for the payment of the Bonds in accordance with the
purpose and intent of this Resolution), and until all of said Bonds and all interest thereon
have been fully paid (or defeased) the moneys in said fund shall be used for no other
purpose than the payment of said Bonds or additional series of bonds issued by the City
pursuant to the authorization of Measure A and the interest thereon; provided, however,
that when all of the principal and interest on all of the Bonds have been paid, any
balance of money then remaining in said funds shall be transferred to the general fund
of the City. Interest earned on the investment of monies in the Debt Service Fund shall
be retained in the Debt Service Fund and used by the City to pay principal and interest
on the Bonds when due.
The Administrative Services Director shall transfer available monies from the
Debt Service Fund to the Paying Agent in amounts sufficient and at such time as are
necessary to promptly pay principal (including mandatory sinking fund payments),
interest and redemption premium, if any, on the Bonds as such shall become due; and
the Paying Agent shall establish a fund designated the "City of Arcadia (Bond Measure
A) Bond Fund" (the "Bond Fund ") for such purpose and shall make payments to the
Bond Owners of principal (including mandatory sinking fund payments), interest and
redemption premium, if any, on the Bonds as such shall become due; provided that, in
the event of any deficiencies, moneys on deposit in the Bond Fund shall be applied first
to the payment of interest and then to the payment of principal and, in all such cases,
ratably and without preference among all maturities.
Investments.
Moneys in the Acquisition and Construction Fund shall be invested in
Authorized Investments which will by their terms mature, or in the case of an investment
agreement are available without penalty, as close as practicable to the date the City
estimates the moneys represented by the particular investment will be needed for
withdrawal from the Acquisition and Construction Fund. Earnings on investments of
monies in the Acquisition and Construction Fund shall be retained therein and applied in
accordance with authorized uses thereof and applicable law.
Moneys in the Debt Service Fund and the Bond Fund shall be invested
only in Authorized Investments which will by their terms mature, or in the case of an
investment agreement are available for withdrawal without penalty, on such dates so as
to ensure the payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds as the
same become due. The Paying Agent shall be under no obligation to invest moneys in
the Bond Fund except on the written instruction of the Administrative Services Director.
Investment earnings, if any, in the Bond Fund in excess of amounts held for the benefit
of Owners shall be returned to the City for deposit in the Debt Service Fund.
In the event that an Authorized Representative of the City does not so direct the
Paying Agent, the Paying Agent shall invest moneys in the Bond Fund in the Authorized
Investments described in paragraph 2(f) of the definition contained herein.
The City and the Paying Agent, at the direction of the City, shall sell at the best
price obtainable, or present for redemption, any obligations so purchased whenever it
may be necessary to do so in order to provide moneys to meet any payment or transfer
to such funds and accounts or from such funds and accounts. For the purpose of
determining at any given time the balance in any such funds, any such investments
constituting a part of such funds and accounts shall be valued at their market value.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Paying Agent shall not be
responsible for any loss from investments, sales or transfers undertaken in accordance
with the provisions of this Resolution.
Tax Covenants. The City hereby covenants and agrees with the owners of the
Bonds to take no action or refrain from taking any action which, in the opinion of Bond
Counsel, would result in the interest received by the Owners being includable in gross
income for federal income tax purposes. In order to preserve the exclusion from gross
income of interest on the Bonds for federal income tax purpose, the City covenants to
comply with all applicable requirements of the Code, and any Regulations which are
necessary to preserve such exclusion from gross income and specifically covenants,
without limiting the generality of the foregoing, that:
Private Activity. The City will take no action or refrain from taking any
action or make any use of the proceeds of the Bonds issued on a tax - exempt basis or of
any other monies or property which would cause the Bonds issued on a tax - exempt
basis to be "private activity bonds" within the meaning of Section 141 of the Code;
Arbitrage. The City will make no use of the proceeds of the Bonds issued
on a tax - exempt basis or of any other amounts or property, regardless of the source, or
take any action or refrain from taking any action which will cause the Bonds issued on a
tax - exempt basis to be "arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of Section 148 of the Code;
Federal Guaranty. The City will make no use of the proceeds of the
Bonds issued on a tax - exempt basis or take or omit to take any action that would cause
the Bonds issued on a tax - exempt basis to be "federally guaranteed" within the meaning
of Section 149(b) of the Code;
Information Reporting. The City will take or cause to be taken all
necessary action to comply with the informational reporting requirement of
Section 149(e) of the Code;
Hedge Bonds. The City will make no use of the proceeds of the Bonds
issued on a tax - exempt basis or any other amounts or property, regardless of the
source, or take any action or refrain from taking any action that would cause the Bonds
issued on a tax - exempt basis to be considered "hedge bonds" within the meaning of
Section 149(g) of the Code unless the City takes all necessary action to assure
compliance with the requirements of Section 149(g) of the Code to maintain the
exclusion from gross income of interest on the Bonds issued on a tax - exempt basis for
federal income tax purposes;
Miscellaneous. The City will take no action or refrain from taking any

of the refunding obligation does not exceed the outstanding amount of the refunded
obligation), including the Bonds, has been or will be issued by the City, including all
subordinate entities of the City, during the calendar year 2011.
Subsequent Opinions. If the City obtains a subsequent opinion of Bond
Counsel other than Stradling Yocca Carlson & Rauth, a Professional Corporation
( "SYCR "), where such opinion is required in connection with a change or amendment to
this Resolution or the procedures set forth in the Tax Certificate, it will obtain an opinion
substantially to the effect originally delivered by SYCR that interest on the Bonds is
excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes.
Defeasance. The Bonds may be defeased in whole or in part prior to maturity by
irrevocably depositing with the City in a separate account of the Debt Service Fund to
be held separate and apart from all other funds of the City, and which is irrevocably
pledged to the Bonds so defeased (or an entity designated by the Administrative
Services Director to act as escrow agent with respect thereto):
An amount of cash which together with amounts then on deposit in the
Debt Service Fund, is sufficient, without reinvestment, to pay and discharge all or part of
the Bonds outstanding (including all principal, interest and premium, if any) at or before
their stated maturity date; or
Federal Securities (as hereinafter defined) not subject to call, together with
cash, if required, in such amount as will, without reinvestment, in the opinion of an

thereon, be fully sufficient to pay and discharge all of the corresponding Bonds
(including all principal and interest and premium, if any) to be defeased at or before their
stated maturity date.
In such event, notwithstanding that any of the Bonds shall not have been
surrendered for payment, all obligations of the City with respect to all said outstanding
Bonds shall cease and terminate, except only the obligation of the City to pay or cause
to be paid from funds deposited pursuant to paragraphs (a) or (b) of this Section, to the
owners of said Bonds not so surrendered and paid all sums due with respect thereto;
provided that the City shall have received an opinion of bond counsel for said Bonds,

proposed to be invested therein:
United States Obligations (as hereinafter defined) (including the
Department of the Treasury of the United States of America); and
If the Bonds are insured by a policy of municipal bond insurance, such
other Authorized Investments as may be approved by the insurer and comprise lawful

required if the Owners are not directly and adversely affected by such amendment or
modification.

Owners of the Bonds issued hereunder, may be modified or amended at any time by a

To cure any ambiguity, supply any omission, or cure or correct any
defect or inconsistent provision in this Resolution; or
To amend or supplement this Resolution in any other respect,

shall be binding upon the Owners of all the Bonds and shall not be deemed an
infringement of any of the provisions of this Resolution, whatever the character of such
act may be, and may be done and performed as fully and freely as if expressly
permitted by the terms of this Resolution, and after consent relating to such specified
matters has been given, no Owner shall have any right or interest to object to such
action or in any manner to question the propriety thereof or to enjoin or restrain the City
or any officer or agent of the City from taking any action pursuant thereto.

acceptance of any and all of the Bonds authorized to be issued hereunder by those who
shall own the same from time to time, this Resolution shall be deemed to be and shall
constitute a contract by and between the City and the Owners from time to time of the
Bonds; and the pledge made in this Resolution shall be for the equal benefit, protection
